The United States of America was founded in 1776 after the 13 independent American states rose up against the ruling British, defeated them in the American Revolutionary War, and signed the Declaration of Independence, the document which declared the creation of the new country.

The men who led the revolution, drafted the Declaration of Independence, and wrote the first American laws are known as " founding fathers". Benjamin Franklin, whose picture is on the US 100-dollar note, was appointed to prepare the Declaration that was eventually signed by the other founding fathers.

Franklin was born in 1706 in Boston to a soap maker named Josiah Franklin. His father could not afford full schooling for all his children, but Benjamin loved books and worked in his elder brother's printing business before starting a newspaper called the Pennsylvania Gazette in 1729. He wrote and drew cartoons for the newspaper. In addition, he worked to improve living conditions in the city: introducing street lights, cleaning the roads and building libraries. In the 1740s, Franklin retired from his newspaper and turned to science with great success. He was a very smart man and his work on electricity, including the "kite experiment" which confirmed the nature of lightning, made him famous throughout the world.

Fran klin earned the title of the “First American" for his efforts to unite the 13 American states, and to win their independence. This part of the story starts in London. He was sent to the city to persuade the British to treat the American states more fairly. It was here that he began interacting with important political thinkers and activists of the time and developing his own political ideas.

Following his return to America in 1761 he became much more active in American politics and in the battle against British rule.

After the United States of America was established, Franklin held several important positions such as the first United States Postmaster General, Ambassador to France and President of Pennsylvania. He is also famous today for his wise sayings, including "a penny saved is a penny earn ed” and “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure".

24. What is the article mainly about?

A. The American Declaration of Independence.

B. Franklin's contributions to American society.

C. The American War of Independence.

D. Benjamin Franklin's early life.

25. How did Franklin begin developing his own political thinking?

A. By discussing ideas with political activists in Britain.

B. By persuading the 13 American states to unite.

C. By fighting against British rule in America.

D. By writing articles for his own newspaper.

26. What can be inferred about Franklin from the article?

A. His most important contribution was in science.

B. He was the leader of the “founding fathers”.

C. He was successful in many different areas.

D. He came from a very wealthy family.

27. What is the correct order for the following events from Franklin's life?

Whether or not you believe Professor Stephen Hawking's alarming theory that building a “strong”artificial intelligence (AI) could lead to the end of the human race, it’s clea r that AI is reaching the point where soon it will affect almost every aspect of how we work with computers. We must get used to computers that talk back.

Last year, investment bank Deep Ventures attracted much media attention when it announced that it had appointed an AI computer to its board of directors to help make important business decisions. What actually happened was that the company used a program called VITAL to analyse potential investments (授资) in different businesses. But VITAL doesn't attend board meetings or vote - it's just a program. While it's not quite the evil robot we see in science fiction movies, it shows us how far computers and AI have advanced.

Soon AI systems will be driving our vehicles, interpreting our facial expressions as we perform complex tasks, translating our voices into different languages and building other machines for us in factories around the world. But they won't look like us or pretend to be human.

In the new film Ex Machina, a computer scientist is asked to assess whether a beautiful human-looking robot called Ava has human intelligence. I won't spoil the film for you, but it occurred to me that one of the reasons we believe other human beings are conscious and have intelligence is that we're told they are all .the time. Indeed, if you stopped believing other people have minds, you would quickly find yourself unable to function in the world.

Google's Eric Schmidt argues that we shouldn't worry about AI, and that we need instead to redesign our education systems so that we learn how to get on with the machines. As powerful computer-based intelligences continue developing, we must let go of the belief that only humans have intelligence and consciousness. Just as we have accepted the reality that the self-awareness that makes minds possible exists within the animal world, we may soon accept that it can also exist within the machine world.

28. According to Professor Stephen Hawking, human beings .

A. may be endangered by strong AI

B. are still more intelligent than machines

C. will benefit greatly from the advances in AI

D. will never be able to build a strong AI system

29. According to Paragraph 2, VITAL can .

A. attend board meetings to vote

B. make final decisions for the bank

C. attract more investments to the bank

D. assess the value of different businesses

30. The author predicts that AI machines will soon be able to .

A. control people's facial expressions

B. construct other intelligent machines

C. have a human-like physical appearance

D. change people's speeches into different languages

31. Which of the following would the author most probably agree with?

A. It is too late to stop the danger of artificial intelligence. . .

B. Humans should learn to live with intelligent machines.

C. Intelligent machines will eventually control the world.

D. Only humans can have intelligence and consciousness.

Mature-age university students are annoying, I know. I understand that when you're 18 or 19, and already know everything, there's no need to do the readings or show up prepared for class. I also understand that there are these old people in class who should be doing other things——maybe retiring, or gardening in the backyard. They are eagerly asking questions (or worse, answering them) and generally loud.

I understand because I used to be one of them. I dropped out of high school in Year 11 and after playing guitar in a band for a few years, I spent the next ten years working different jobs. Then a friend, who thought I was wasting my life, suggested I enrol at his university. Although afraid, I eventually took a university preparation course and a year later became a 35-year-old university freshman.

Like many mature-age students, after completing my degree, I continued studying and eventually attained my PhD.

Now I'm a lecturer at Toronto University in Canada. In fact, I have just finished preparing a group of mature-age students to annoy next year's young first years. My students come from many different backgrounds. But they all share an enthusiasm for knowledge and learning.

I know they are ridiculous and show up to class with folders full of readings, minds overflowing with ideas and concepts they want to discuss. I was the same. But, contrary to the stereotype of the annoying mature-age students occupying the airtime in class, most don't want to control the discussion.

They're likely to be waiting, counting away the seconds silently in the hope that someone will want to talk about all of these amazing ideas we're learning about. Only after waiting for younger voices to speak. ( but which often remain silent) do they begin talking.

Speaking for myself, I love students who come prepared and ready to discuss stuff. So let's celebrate all of those “annoying” mature-age students.

32. According to the article, a mature-age student is a person .

A. who behaves like an adult

B. studying for a higher degree

C. not yet qualified to enter university

D. who starts university at an older age

33. In the first paragraph, the author .

A. shows that he is opposed to mature-age students

B. describes the problems mature-age students create

C. makes fun of the attitude held by many young students .

D. explains why many teachers dislike mature-age students .

34. What does the underlined word "them" in Paragraph 2 refer to?

A. Retired people.

B. Early high school leavers.

C. Mature-age university students.

D. University students aged below 20.

35. Why do mature-age students often wait before speaking in class?

A. They are not very familiar with the topic being discussed.

B. They want to give the younger 'students more chances to speak.

C. They lack the ability to give their opinions.

D. They are more interested in hearing others' opinions.

Alone But Not Lonely

In today's fast-paced society, we've become uncomfortable with silence. We try to find different types of activities that can help us escape feelings of laziness or boredom, 36 Solitude（独处）does not have to be uncomfortable or lonely. In fact, solitude and loneliness are very different things.

The death of a loved one or the inability to find people who understand you can leave you feeling lonely. Even if you are surrounded by other people, it's natural to experience an emptiness while longing for love or acceptance. 37

Geoffrey F. Fisher once said, “In cities, no one is quiet but many are lonely. 38

We often fill loneliness with all types of unsatisfying activities. Young people would rather spend a Friday night out with strangers, than spend the night alone. They're looking for a way to kill time while they await true friendship. Then there are young adults in gangs where they don't really like their companions. 39 Why does being alone scare us?

Do not be afraid of silence. 40 It teaches you how to truly listen. It teaches you to pay attention to what's going on inside of you. Only when we are alone can we have the space and peace we need to think without being outwardly influenced. It therefore becomes easier to make important decisions as well as to reflect on how we are feeling.

A. Loneliness is therefore a feeling that can be experienced whether or not one is physically alone.

B. They would rather feel accepted on a shallow level than risk feeling alone.

C. The problem of loneliness can be easily solved in a modern world.

D. But, when doing so, the main thing we.-are trying to avoid is loneliness.

E. In the country, people are quiet but few are lonely.

F. It can provide you with amazing benefits.

G. It guides you through hardships.

Each week New York-based hairstylist Mark Bustos tries to make a small difference in people's lives 61 giving haircuts to homeless people.

During the week, Mark works in his high-class salon, but each Sunday, he walks around the

city asking people 62 they'd like a haircut. He then gives them a stylish haircut-- 63

same kind he would give to any paying customer, except these are done for free for those who are homeless or cannot afford a haircut 64 (them).

Mark's work began in 2012 when visiting family in the Philippines. Instead of just 65

( take ) a typical, relaxing vacation, he decided to give poor local children haircuts.“I felt so happy doing it that I'v e continued since returning,” Mark explains.

Changing someone's appearance can have a huge impact on their life. Remember the homeless retired soldier who received a make-over? He found a job, 66 (rent) a house and

quit drinking alcohol afterwards. 67 (simple) changing how a person looks can give them a huge increase in 68 (confident).

Dear Dr. Smith,

My clas smates and I can’t wait for you to arrive. We’re really looking forward to your lessons. As for what we hope to get out of your classes, we’re most interested in improving our spoken English and increasing our vocabulary. We are also keen to learn more about the customs and culture of your country, and especially what kids of our own age there are interested in – the movies and music they like, their school life and so on. Our teachers here in China are usually very kind and hardworking, but also very strict, so we hope that our lessons with you will be a little freer and more fun than those we are used to.

Yours sincerely

Li Hua

广州二模英语试题

2019年广州二模英语试题 A The country is India. A large dinner party is being given in an up-country station by a colonial official and his wife. The guests are army and government officers and their wives, and an American naturalist. At one side of the long table, a spirited discussion springs up between a young girl and an army officer. The girl insists women have long outgrown the jumping- on- a- chair -at-the-sight-of-a-mouse era, and that they are not as anxious as their grandmothers were. The officer says they are, arguing women haven't the actual nerve control of men. “A woman's reaction in any crisis, "the officer says, “is to scream. And while a man may feel like it, he has that ounce more of control than a woman has." The American scientist does not join in the argument but sits and watches the faces of the other guests. As he stares, he sees a slight, though strange look of anxiety come over the face of the hostess. With a small gesture she summons the servant standing behind her chair. She whispers to him. The servant's eyes widen. He turns quickly and leaves the room. No one else sees this, nor the servant when he puts a bowl of milk on the balcony outside the glass doors. The American understands. In India, milk in a bowl means only one thing. It is bait for a snake. He realizes there is a cobra in the room. The American's eyes move across the room but he sees nothing. He realizes the snake can only be in one place-under the table. His first reaction is to jump back and warn the others. But he knows any sudden movement will frighten the cobra and it will strike. He speaks quickly, the quality of his voice so arresting that it quietens everyone." I want to know just what control everyone at this table has. I will count three hundred-that's five minutes-and not one of you is to move a single muscle. Now! Ready!"

They imagine lying under palm trees as the sun goes down. However, life overseas is not always easy, and many are not prepared for the shock of living in an alien culture. The honeymoon period At first, for those who actually decide to move abroad, life is an exciting adventure. They enjoy exploring their new surroundings, and life seems like an extended holiday. They don’t mind trying the local cuisine and discovering the local culture. They can even afford to practice their foreign-language skills without fear of making mistakes. Trouble in paradise In many cases, when people consider moving to another country, they often fail to realize how different life will be. As time goes by, they become frustrated when language and cultural misunderstandings become a daily headache. In this stage, the visitors begin to withdraw from life in the host country and avoid spending time with local people in favor of mixing with others from their own cultural background. The road to recovery Gradually, most visitors realize they must accept the differences and not fight against them. This change encourages them to improve their language skills and slowly they manage to do the things they could easily do at home, such as opening a bank account. This new-found confidence enables them to see a side of life which very few tourists get to witness. Adjusting to life abroad can often be a real problem. The secret to overcoming it is to stop trying to change your host country: you will not succeed. If not, you risk losing your dream and having to return to the old life you wanted to leave behind. 21. Why do people moving abroad feel excited at first? A. They find foreign living much easier. B. They have the necessary language skills. C. They love the adventure and exploration. D. They enjoy meeting people from different cultures. 22. According to the author, what is the main problem many people moving abroad face? A. Homesickness. B. Culture shock C. Health problems. D. Lack of employment. 23. What would the author suggest people moving abroad do? A. Study the local language. B. Go on holidays frequently. C. Learn how to open a bank account. D. Seek out people from their home country. B Australia loves interesting money. In 1988, it was the first country to replace paper money with special plastic banknotes. Now it’s introduced a new five-dollar bill so technologically advanced that many experts are calling it the money of the future! At first glance, the new note looks much like the old one. It has the same pink colour and main pictures on the front and back. But look closer, and you will notice a clear window running down the middle, surrounded by images of the yellow Prickly Moses, a type of Australian plant. Tilt（使倾斜）the note a little and you will see the Eastern Spinebill, an Australian bird, beating its wings as if trying to fly away. Turn the bill from side to side, and you will notice the picture of a small building at the bottom of the note spins, and the image of “5” changes position. While these moveable features are impressive and entertaining, that was not the reason Australian government officials spent ten years developing them. Their primary purpose was to make it impossible for criminals to produce their own fake notes. The new five-dollar note also has something to help blind people easily identify the money. It has a raised bump alongside the top and bottom, enabling blind people to quickly determine its value. The credit for persuading the Australian government to add this all-important bump goes to 15-year-old Connor McLeod. The blind Sydney teenager came up with the idea in 2014 after being unable to tell how much money he had received for Christmas. Connor says he was so embarrassed at not being able to see the difference between notes that he only carried coins to pay for food at the school cafeteria. To
