In light of the increasing presence and importance of computers in classrooms, people can’t help wondering whether computers can substitute teachers in the near future.Classroom computer technology is being used for different types of communication—presentation, interaction, and collaboration. Students are required to be readers and writers, editors and publishers and they are expected to collaborate with others, working closely together to learn even more in this process.However, it is impossible for computers to replace teachers in classrooms. For one thing, instead of being the source of knowledge, high-quality teachers guide their students to process, analyze and apply what they have learned across academic subjects and into the real world. For another, a teacher is there to monitor every slight change in students’ attitude, to respond to and encourage them whenever they show signs of f rustration or impatience. Those human aspects are not going to be replaced by machines at any time. (165 词)(Thus, I am confident that computers are to replace real teachers in classrooms. For one thing, the model of classroom instruction from the late 1800s just wasn’t designed to meet 21st-century expectations. For another, computer technology especially booming AI in every respect of life requires education to be put on the right track. Otherwise, students produced from the old factory must be washed away by the modern innovative tide. )【听力原文】Text 1M: Excuse me. Where would I find medicine for dogs?W: We have some on aisle five. If you need a wider selection, however, I would suggest goingto see an animal doctor.Text 2W: What is that sound? I can hear something coming from the back of the car. Can you hearit?M: Yeah, I can.

It’s areally nice bike.W: Have you considered trading the bike in? We do buy and sell used bikes, and I can giveyou a fair price for any trade-in.M: Really? That would be great!

2017-2018学年英语试题第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A 、B 、C 和D ）中，选出最佳选项。
AGrandpa Nybakken loved life — especially when he could play a trick on somebody. At those times, his large Norwegian frame shook with laughter while he pretended innocent surprise, exclaiming, “Oh, forevermore!” But on a cold Saturday in downtown Chicago, Grandpa felt that God played a trick on him, and grandpa wasn’t laughing.Grandpa worked as a carpenter. On this particular day, he was building some boxes for the clothes his church was sending to an orphanage abroad. On his way home, he reached into his shirt pocket to find his glasses, but they were gone. He remembered putting them there that morning, so he drove back to the church. His search proved fruitless.Suddenly, he realized what had happened. The glasses had slipped out of his pocket unnoticed and fallen into one of the boxes, which he had nailed shut. His brand new glasses were heading for China!The Great Depression was at its height, and Grandpa had six children. He had spent twenty dollars for those glasses that very morning.“It’s not fair,” he told God as he drove home in frustration. “I’ve been very faithful in giving of my time and money to your work, and now this.”Several months later, the director of the orphanage was on vacation in the United States．He wanted to visit all the churches that supported him, so he came to speak on Sunday night at my grandfather’s small church in Chicago. Grandpa and his family sat in their usual seat s among the small congregation (教堂会众).“But most of all,” he said, “I must thank you for the glasses you sent last year.”“Even if I had the money, there was simply no way of replacing those glasses．Along with not being able to see well, I experienced headaches every day, so my co-workers and I were much in prayer about this. Then your boxes arrived．When my staff removed the covers, they found a pair of glasses lying on the top.” After a long pause, he continued, “Folks, when I tried on the glasses, it was as though they had been custom-made just for me! I want to thank you for being a part of that!”The people listened, happy for the amazing glasses. But the director surely must have confused their church with another, they thought, there were no glasses on their list of items to be sent overseas.But sitting quietly in the back, with tears streaming down his face, an ordinary carpenter realized the Master Carpenter had used him in an extraordinary way.21. Which of the following is NOT true about Grandpa Nybakken according to the passage?A. He was an outgoing man and held an active attitude towards life.B. He had a large family to support.C. He was a carpenter working in the church.D. He was a loyal Christian.22. The people in the church but Grandpa felt confused at what the director said because________.A. Grandpa didn’t tell the director that he was the owner of the glassesB. the director wanted to return the glasses even though he liked itC. the director could not get such glasses in their own countryD. the glasses were not included in the donation list23. Who does “the Master Carpenter” in the last paragraph probably refer to?A. Grandpa’s master.B. One of Grandpa’s friends.C. God.D. Grandpa’s co-worker.24. Which can be the best title of the passage?A. Grandfather’s life.B. The Helpful Donation.C. The Perfect Mistake.D. An Impressive Speech.BAs a parent you might never guess all the ways a good imagination benefits your child. It helps a preschooler:Develop social skillsAs children play pretend, they explore relationships between family members, friends and co-workers and learn more about how people interact. Playing doctor, they imagine how physicians care for their patients. Playing house, they learn more about how parents feel about their children. Imaginative play helps develop sympathy for others. If children can imagine how it feels to be left out of a game or to lose a pet, they are better able to help those in need. They become more willing to play fair, to share, and to cooperate.Build self-confidenceYoung children have very little control over their lives. Imagining oneself as a builder of skyscrapers or a superhero defending the planet is empowering to a child. It helps them develop confidence in their abilities and their potential.Boost intellectual growthUsing the imagination is the beginning of abstract thought. Children who can see a king’s castle in a mound of sand or a delicious dinner in a mud pie are learning to think symbolically. This skill is important in school where a child will have to learn that numerals symbolize groups of objects, letters symbolize sounds, and so on.Practice language skillsKids who play pretend with their friends do a lot of talking. This helps boost their vocabulary, improve sentence structure and enhance communication skills.Work out fearsPlaying pretend can help children work out their fears and worries. When children role-play about the big, bad monster under the b ed, they gain a sense of control over him and he doesn’t seem quite so big or so bad. Imaginative play also helps kids let out confusing feelings they might have, such as anger toward a parent or rivalry (竞争) with a new sibling (兄弟姐妹).To encourage your y oungster’s imagination, read to him every day. Books offer children the opportunity to visit other worlds and create new ones of their own.For generations children have enjoyed reading the story of Peter Pan because Peter takes them on fascinating advent ures. Reader’s Digest Young Families offers a beautiful vintage Disney edition of Peter Pan, which is an iParenting Media Award winner. Click here to find out how you can get this classic story along with 2 free books -- Bambi and Pinocchio.25. Where can you probably find the article?A. Newspaper.B. Magazine.C. Internet.D. Book.26. What’s the meaning of the underlined word?A. improve.B. limit.C. pull.D. praise.27. What’s Not the advantage of children having a good imaginat ion?A. Understanding the other people’s feelings and problems.B. Expressing their feelings like anger.C. Having a strong faith in their own abilities and potential.D. Helping them form a good habit of reading story.CA hoarder is someone who is unable or unwilling to throw items away, and the disposal (处理) of items causes them considerable pain. When people hoard a massive amount of objects, it takes over the inhabitable spaces of their home. As the collection grows, they are unable to do simple , quotidian activities such as cooking a meal or watch TV. Sometimes the hoarding is so severe that parts of their homes become inaccessible.But among the many problems that such behavior brings about, the most significant are the health risks. Once hallways and windows are blocked, hoarders are at the risk of dying in a fire, since they no longer have a clear path of evacuation(疏散). Things that are piled up high can fall on top of the homeowner, or a person trying to climb over a pile of objects can experience a fall. There is also the problem of sanitation(卫生). Areas where food can’t be properly cleaned begin to attract insects, and bathrooms that are full of many possessions can no longer be washed.Unfortunately, the serious effect of the problem can become worse for two reasons. One is that since the behavior progress behind closed doors, people can accumulate collections of objects for years before friends or family members become aware of the problem. A second reason is that hoarders often don’t recognize that they have a problem, and will continue to live in denial until they get professional help.When attempting to make a diagnosis, psychologists don’t regard hoarding as a disorder in itself. Instead, it’s often seen as a sympt om of obsessive-compulsive disorder (强迫症), depression, or anxiety. The mental health community has only recently begun an intensive study of boarding, and more research is needed in order to understand its causes and find effective treatment.28.The first paragraph mostly serves to ________.A.introduce the problem of hoardingrm the public of the hoarder’s lifestyleC.illustrate how frequently hoarders’ lifestyleD.explain how hoarded react when items are disposed29. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Hoarders’ houses are not always out of order.B. Hoarding is regarded as a disorder by psychologists.C. Symptoms of hoarding can’t be easily noticed since it progresses quietly.D. The mental health community has found effective treatments for hoarding.30. We can infer from the passage that ______________.A. hoarding is a serious problem that needs concern.B. the main reason of hoarding is the economic burden.C. food preparation becomes easier if a person is a hoarder.D. hoarded items can’t be piled higher than a person’s head.31. The underlined word “quotidian” probably means _________.A. abnormalB. ordinaryC. skillfulD. popularDHow can a creature weighing over 5 tons and normally taking 150 kilograms of food and 120 liters of water per day survive in a desert environment?In the southwest African country of Namibia, and the Sahara lands of Mali further north, the desert elephant does just that.Although not regarded as a separate species from the African elephant, the desert cousin differs in many ways. Their bodies are smaller, to absorb less heat, and their feet are larger for easier walking across sandy surfaces. They are taller, to reach higher branches. They have shorter tusks (象牙), and most importantly, longer trunks to dig for water in riverbeds.Desert elephants can travel over 70 kilometers in search for feeding grounds and waterholes, and have a larger group of families. They drink only every 3-4 days, and can store water in a “bag” at the back of their throat, which is only used when badly needed. Desert elephants are careful feeders---they seldom root up trees and break fewer branches, and thus maintain what little food sources are available. Young elephants may even eat the dung (粪便) of the female leader of a group when facing food shortage. During drought they are unlikely to give birth to their young but with good rains the birthrate will increase greatly. Desert elephants have sand baths, sometimes adding their own urine (尿液) to make them muddy!As we continue to overheat our weak planet, it can only be hoped that other animal species will adapt as extraordinarily well to change as the desert elephant.32. The underlined part in Paragraph 2 means “_____”.A. remains in the African countriesB. drinks 120 liters of water a dayC. manages to live in desert areasD. eats 150 kilograms of food daily33. Desert elephants are called careful feeders because they _____.A. rarely ruin treesB. drink only every 3-4 daysC. search for food in large groupsD. protect food sources for their young34. The author answers the question raised in the first paragraph with _____.A. stories and explanationB. facts and descriptionsC. examples and conclusionD. evidence and argument35. What can be inferred from the last sentence in the passage?A. Overheating the earth can be stopped.B. Not all animal species are so adaptable.C. The planet will become hotter and hotter.D. Not all animals are as smart as desert elephants.第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Dad carried the pot out and we opened doors and windows to air out the house. Just how bad was it? The neighbors came out of their houses to see if we had a gas leak!
2.Nothing could stop Dad. After he was put on disability for a bad back, he bought a small farm in the country, just enough to grow food for the family. He planted vegetables, fruit trees and even kept bees for honey.
As the vegetables started coming in, Dad threw himself into cooking. One day, armed with a basket of vegetables, he announced he was going to make stew(炖菜).Dad pulled out a pressure cooker and filled it up with cabbages, eggplants, potatoes, corns, onions and carrots. For about half an hour, the pressure built and the vegetables cooked. Finally, Dad turned off the stove, the pot began to cool and the pressure relief valve sprayed out a cloud of steam. If we thought Dad's pile of chicken manure was bad, this was 10 times worse. When Dad took off the lid, the smell nearly knocked us out.
