The airplane maker Airbus has announced plans 【1】 (quit) making its famous A380 airplane. The A380 is the world’s largest passenger airplane and 【2】 (be) in service for 12 years.

Airbus decided to stop 【4】 (produce) of the 541-seat A380. The decision was due to sales that were not 【5】 satisfying as expected. Airbus said it would no longer build the A380 in 2021. Significant job losses at companies linked to the plane will be 【6】 (necessary) caused.

The A380 first 【7】 (fly) in April 2005. Britain’s leader called it a unique symbol of economic strength while Spain’s leader called it a dream. The jets were designed to make airports less busy by reducing 【8】 number of planes which was on the increase in the sky. However, booming air travel brought the demand for twin-engine planes that can fly non-stop to 【9】 people want to travel. An Airbus spokesperson said the A380 was a “passenger magnet”, and he was 【10】 (disappoint) that airlines misunderstood and marketed it poorly.

【答案】

【1】to quit

【2】has been

【3】shifts

【4】production

【5】as/so

【6】necessarily

【7】flew

【8】the

【9】where/ wherever

【10】disappointed

【解析】

这是一篇说明文。介绍了空中客车公司生产的空客A380的历史和面临的问题。空客标志性的A380是世界上最大的客机，已经服役12年之久。但是乘客需求的变化意味着属于这个巨大的四行程引擎客机的日子已经结束了。空客决定2021年停止生产541座的空客A380。

【1】考查非谓语动词。句中主谓宾结构完整，quit作定语，修饰plans，表示还没有发生的动作，要跟动词不定式，故填to quit。

【2】考查时态。句中时间状语是for 12 years（12年来），是表示从过去开始延续到现在的段时间，句子的时态要用现在完成时。句子主语为The A380，第三人称单数，故填has been。

【3】考查名词复数。句中shift为名词，意为转换，变换，班，轮班，是可数名词，后面的谓语动词mean为原形，主谓搭配，主语要用复数，故填shifts。

【4】考查名词。句中动词stop后要跟名词作其宾语，介词of也应该修饰名词，所以要填produce的名词形式，故填production。

【5】考查副词。句中所填词后为satisfying，是形容词，修饰形容词要用副词，与后面的as相搭配，as…as和/与……一样；否定句中是not so…as和/与……不一样，是固定搭配，故填as/so。

【6】考查副词。句中谓语动词为cause（它的被动语态），所填词修饰动词，要用副词作状语，所以要填necessary的副词形式，故填necessarily。

【7】考查时态。句子的时间状语为in April 2005，表示过去的点时间，句子时态要用一般过去时，fly的过去式为flew，故填flew。

【8】考查定冠词。句中所填词被which引导的限制性定语从句修饰，number（数量）是可数名词，前面要加上定冠词，故填the。

【9】考查宾语从句。句意：然而，蓬勃发展的航空旅行带来了对双引擎飞机的需求，这些飞机可以不间断地飞行去人们想要去的地方。从句中的谓语动词fly to后接宾语从句，宾语从句中引导词在宾语从句中作地点状语，根据句意，用连接副词where引导，也可以用连接副词wherever，表示强调，故填where/ wherever。

【10】考查形容词。句中was后可以跟形容词作其表语，构成系表结构，主语是He，指人，要用ed结尾的形容词，故填disappointed。

语法填空题中遇到填形容词时要注意-ing结尾形容词与-ed结尾形容词的区别。

1. 以后缀–ed结尾的形容词(如ashamed, delighted, excited, frightened, interested, moved, pleased, surprised, worried等)通常用于说明人，不用于说明事物，即使它们所修饰的名词是事物，那它们指的也是与该事物相关的人。如：

He had a pleased smile on his face. 他脸上露出了满意的微笑。

He told me the news in a very excited voice. 他声音很激动地告诉了我这个消息。（指的是某人因很激动而发生那样的声音。）

原则上，-ed 形容词通常直接用于说明人，若修饰事物，则多为 air(神态), appearance(外貌), cry(哭声), face(表情), voice(声音), mood(情绪)等显示某人的情感状况的名词。

2. 以后缀 -ing 结尾的形容词(如delighting, exciting, frightening, interesting, moving, surprising, worrying 等)主要用于说明事物，表示事物的性质或特征，若用它们说明人，则表示此人具有此性质或特征。如：

The story is very interesting. 这个故事很有趣。

The man is very interesting. 这个人很有趣。

He is frightened. 他很害怕。

He is frightening. 他很吓人。

3.注意体会下面两组句子

He has a frightened look on his face. 他脸上带有惊恐的神情。

He has a frightening look on his face. 他脸上带有吓人的神情。

I read an interested expression on his face. 我看到他脸上露出一种感兴趣的表情。

I read an interesting expression on his face. 我看到他脸上露出一种有趣的表情。

【题目】 As Americans live longer and the job market stays competitive, fast-food chains are increasingly hiring from senior centers, churches and aging advocacy groups like AARP, Bloomberg reports. And it’s not just death rate and economic trends driving the change. Seniors have more polished social skills, but teens are stopped from growing up online with fewer real-world connections.

“I spend a lot of time with young kids. They can be very disrespectful,” 63-year-old Church’s Chicken manager Stevenson Williams tells Bloomberg of his teen co-workers. “You have to coach them and tell them this is your job, not the street,” Williams says. “Having ‘soft skills’ such as politeness often comes more easily to the seniors, who have had a lifetime of experience in the workforce to learn how to treat customers compared with young people.”

Employers thus get a more mature worker at no additional cost — but the reasons for seniors outpacing teen hires are many. The US Census Bureau reported this year that, by 2035, there will be more Americans over age 65 than there are children under age 18. Plus, fewer people in their prime (盛年) are working — thanks to the unaffordable child care that forces many parents to stay at home, according to a joint study by Princeton University.

The US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) forecasts the number of American workers aged 65 to 74 will swell 4.5 percent by 2024, while the 16-to-24s will shrink 1.4 percent. By 2024, the BLS projects the labor force will grow to about 164 million people. That number includes about 41 million people aged 55 and older — about 13 million of those who are expected to be aged 65 and up.

So don’t be surprised to see even more service with a smile and silver hair in that drive-through lane.

【题目】 Although books are still popular with teenagers, most of them spend more of their leisure time staring at their phone than reading a paperbook..【1】Instead of publishing whole book at once, they produce very short chapters, which they send once a week to their readers by text message.

【2】Many are written by high school or university students who are very familiar with the topics that teenagers are interested in. Common themes are love, tragedy and betrayal, and the stories often deal with difficult or controversial issues.

Twenty-one-year-old Rin wrote her novel over a six-month period in spare moments, often while commuting on the train.【3】Her book sold 40000 copies and was number five in the Japanese bestseller list. Rin said that her mother had had no idea that she had been writing a novel and was therefore very surprised when she saw a book with her daughter's name on it

【4】Chapters have no more than 200 words, and often just 50-100 words. Sentences are short and there are no descriptions of anything or anybody because there isn't space. The text mostly consists of dialogue and the language is direct, conveying a lot in a few words.

In 2009, a young Japanese writer called Takatsu, who lives in Canada, began writing the first English language cell phone novel, Secondhand Memories. Takatsu had read an English translation of Rin’s story and had been impressed by its simple and emotional language. It was a feature he deliberately copied when he started writing Secondhand Memories.【5】He now believes that, in English, cell phone novels have a powerful and poetic identity of their own. Cell phone novels encourage young people to engage in fiction, even those who would not normally pick up a book. They could be described as ten novels for the 21st century.

【题目】阅读下面的短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。

Meeting people from another culture can be difficult. From the beginning, people may send the wrong signal. Or they may pay no attention to signals from another person who is trying to develop a relationship.

Different cultures emphasize (强调) the importance of relationship building to a greater or lesser degree. For example, business in some countries is not possible until there is a relationship of trust. Even with people at work, it is necessary to spend a lot of time in "small talk", usually over a glass of tea, before they do any job. In many European countries -like the UK or France -people find it easier to build up a lasting working relationship at restaurants or cafes rather than at the office.

Talk and silence may also be different in some cultures. I once made a speech in Thailand. I had expected my speech to be a success and start a lively discussion; instead there was an uncomfortable silence. The people present just stared at me and smiled. After getting to know their ways better, I realized that they thought I was talking too much. In my own culture, we express meaning mainly through words, but people there sometimes feel too many words are unnecessary.

Even within Northern Europe, cultural differences can cause serious problems. Certainly, English and German cultures share similar values; however, Germans prefer to get down to business more quickly. We think that they are rude. In fact, this is just because one culture starts discussions and makes decisions more quickly.

People from different parts of the world have different values, and sometimes these values are quite against each other. However, if we can understand them better, a multicultural environment (多元文化环境)will offer a wonderful chance for us to learn from each other.

【题目】 Artificial intelligence (AD) technology may soon be a useful tool for doctors. It may help them better understand and treat diseases like breast cancer in ways that were never before possible.

Rishi Rawat, who teaches AI at the University of Southern California's (USC) Clinical Science Center in Los Angeles, is part of a team of scientists who are researching how AI and machine learning can more easily recognize cancerous growths in the breast.

Rawat provides information about cancer cells to a computer. He says this data helps the machine learn. “... You can put the data into them and they will learn the patterns and the pattern recognition that's important to making decisions"" David Agus, another USC researcher, believes that machines are not going to take the place of doctors, but they will help make certain decisions and look for things that the human brain can't recognize.

Once a confirmed cancerous growth is removed, doctors still have to treat the patient to reduce the risk of cancer returning. The form of treatment depends on the kind of cancer. Currently, researchers take a thin piece of tissue, put it on a small piece of glass and add color to better see the cells. The process could take days or even longer. Scientists say artificial intelligence can do something better than just count cells. Through machine learning, it can recognize complex patterns or structures, and learn how the cells are organized. They hope that machines will soon be able to make a quick identification of cancer that is free of human mistakes.

"All of a sudden, we have the computing power to really do it in real time...We couldn't have done this, but now it's all changed."" Agus adds that the process could be done for almost no cost in the developing world." He says that having a large amount of information about patients is important for a machine to effectively do its job in medicine.

The USC researchers are now only studying breast cancer. But doctors predict artificial intelligence will one day make a difference in all forms of cancer.

【1】What does the author intend to tell us?

A.AI technology will aid to predict some cancers.

B.Doctors will be replaced by AI machines.

C.AI technology will help cancer treatment.

D.Doctors will get improved with AI technology.

【2】What is vital for an AI machine to do its medical job according to USC researchers?

A.Cell counting machines.B.Well designed process.

C.Patterns of cancer.D.Enough information of patients.

【3】What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?

A.When is the best time to remove cancer.B.Why USC researchers argue about AI.

C.What treatment AI technology provides.D.How AI technology helps in medicine.

【4】What section of a magazine is the text probably taken from?

A.Entertainment & Arts.B.Science & Technology.

C.World News.D.Health Report.
