Then the landlord began to examine the house. He and she were going to divorce, so it was obvious that they would not continue renting the house any more. Then the landlord began examining the house. After looking around, the landlord screamed, “The walls are full of nails! How could I rent the house to others?”

He said, “The room is too small, so we could only hang things on the walls.” The landlord didn’t listen to him and turned around up to the floor. She began looking around her familiar room. Four years ago, she became his bride here. There were several nails on the wall, on which hung his clothes yesterday. After he lived in the room, he removed all the clothes boxes and bought her a desk in the spared room because he knew she loved writing and drawing.

The landlord took toolkit down and tried to pull the nails out. After the nails were removed, the walls were left with numerous holes. All of a sudden, she felt terribly heartbroken as if her heart was pierced(刺破)through those holes and bleeding nonstop. She sprang from the seat and shouted, “Stop pulling the nails! We will continue renting the house and will only move away after we buy our own!” He looked at her with great surprise and then turned around, tearing over his face.

She finally came to understand that marriage was like wall and that all quarrels and “cold wars” were like the nails on the wall. When all the nails were removed, only a wall with numerous holes would be left. But if all the nails were still in their own places, the wall was still complete and reliable. But in the past, what she saw was only those nails.

They hung all the things back to the wall. He asked her, "Are you really willing to lead a tough life with me? " She patted away the ashes on hands and looked at those things satisfactorily, saying, "Yes! For me, it's not a suffering to live. "

D.Because she decided to have the house decorated

高三英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析

While the start of a new school year is always exciting, this year was even more so for some elementary school students in Auckland, New Zealand. They became the world’s first kids to be “taught” by a digital teacher. Before you start imagining a human-like robot walking around the classroom, Will is just an avatar that appears on the student’s desktop, or smartphone screen, when ordered to come.

The autonomous animation platform has been modeled after the human brain and nervous system, allowing it to show human-like behavior. The digital teacher is assigned to teach Vector’s “Be sustainable with energy”— a free program for Auckland elementary schools.

Just like the humans it replaced, Will is able to instantly react to the students’ responses to the topic. Thanks to a webcam and microphone, the avatar not only responds to questions the kids may have, but also picks up non-verbal cues. For instance, if a student smiles at Will, he responds by smiling back. This two-way interaction not only helps attract the students’ attention, but also allows the program’s developers to monitor their engagement, and make changes if needed.

Nikhil Ravishankar believes that Will-like avatars could be a novel way to catch the attention of the next generation. He says, “I have a lot of hope in this technology as a means to deliver cost-effective, rich, educational experience in the future.”

The program, in place since August 2018, has been a great success thus far. Ravishankar says, “ What was fascinating to me was the reaction of the children to Will. The way they look at the world is so creative and different, and Will really captured their attention.” However, regardless of how popular it becomes, Will is unlikely to replace human educators any time soon.

1.What was special for some elementary school students in Auckland?

A. A digital teacher taught them.

B. They first saw something digital.

C. This was the start of a new school year.

D. They could get close to smartphone screen.

2.What is the benefit of this two-way interaction?

A. It can smile back. B. It can use microphone.

C. It can talk any topic for free. D. It can change if necessary.

3.What’s Ravishankar’s attitude to Will’s replacing Human educators soon?

A. Optimistic. B. Doubtful.

C. Unclear. D. Disapproving.

4.What might be the best title for the passage?

A. New High-tech Contributes to Education

B. The World’s First Digital Teacher Appears in Classroom.

C. The World’s First Digital Teacher, a Help to Students

D. New Zealand Will Replace Teachers in Classrooms

While the start of a new school year is always exciting, this year was even more so for some elementary school students in Auckland, New Zealand. They became the world’s first kids to be “taught” by a digital teacher, Will. Will is just an avatar(用户头像) that appears on the student’s desktop, tablet, or smartphone screen, not a human-like robot walking around the classroom.

Auckland energy company Vector and AI company Soul Machines worked together to develop Will, which has been modeled after the human brain and nervous system, allowing it to perform human-like behavior. The digital teacher is currently assigned to teach Vector’s “Be sustainable with energy,” a free program for Auckland elementary schools.

Just like the humans it replaced, Will is able to instantly react to the students’ responses to the topic. Thanks to a webcam(网络摄像头) and microphone, the avatar not only responds to questions the kids may have, but also picks up non-verbal cues(非口头提示). For instance, if a student smiles at Will, he responds by smiling back. This two-way interaction not only helps capture the students’ attention, but also allows the program’s developers to monitor their engagement, and make changes if needed.

Vector’s Chief Digital Officer, Nikhil Ravishankar says, “What was fascinating to me was the reaction of the children to Will. The way they look at the world is so creative and different, and Will really captured their attention.”

Will, in place since August 2018, has been a great success thus far. However, regardless of how popular it becomes, Will is unlikely to replace human educators any time soon. For one, the avatar’s knowledge base is severely restricted. But more importantly, even the smartest digital avatars could never predict and react to all the unexpected situations that educators have to deal with on a daily basis. However, it could come in handy as a “personal tutor”, providing kids with one-on-one help on specific subjects or even topics.

1.What made the students in Auckland more excited in the new term?

A. A robot teacher.　　 B. A digital teacher.

C. New classmates.　　 D. New tablets.

2.What’s Nikhil Ravishankar’s attitude toward Will?

A. Positive.　　 B. Negative.　　 C. Doubtful.　　 D. Neutral.

3.What is Will able to do in class?

A. Think like humans.　　 B. Satisfy all kids’ needs.

C. Grab students’ attention.　　 D. Monitor students’ participation.

4.What is mainly discussed about Will in the last paragraph?

A. Its popularity.　　 B. Its limitations.

C. Its function.　　 D. Its convenience.

高三英语完型填空困难题查看答案及解析

When Lew Alcindor was 13, and obviously still growing, a group of schools began offering him scholarships (奖学金). The Alcindors decided to send their only child to Power Memorial Academy, a small school on Manhattan’s West Side.

At Power, Alcindor came under the control of Coach Jack Donohue, a strict young man who already gained his fame as one of the best coaches in the city. Donohue brought Alcindor along slowly. As a first-year student, the boy was not able to do much but wave his long skinny arms and shoot a basket now and then. But by the second year, when he was 15 years old and nearly 7 feet tall, Alcindor was quick and skillful enough to make the high school All-American team and to lead Power to an undefeated season.

From then on he simply got better. Some rival coaches(对方教练) used to take their teams quickly away from the floor before Power warmed up so that their players would not see him any sooner than they had to. Wearing size 16 D shoes and sucking a lollipop(棒棒糖), Alcindor would loosen up by starting his leaping lay-ups(擦板球). Then he would casually shoot the ball with either hand, to the delight of the fans.

When reporters and photographers began to follow Alcindor closely, Donohue protected his boy firmly. He simply ordered Lew to talk to no member of the press, and this suited Lew fine. He was not comfortable talking to grown-ups, perhaps because he towered over them. Discouraged photographers began following him in secret as though he were an easily-frightened giraffe. Once after ducking into a subway to escape, Alcindor told a friend that it was all becoming like policemen and robbers. “People want you not for yourself,” Donohue warned him, “but because you’re a basketball player. Don’t forget that.”

1. Many schools offer Alcindor scholarships because ______.

A. he was young                                    B. he was hardworking

C. he was tall for his age                    D. he was skillful at playing basketball

2.. Which of the following best describes Donohue as a young coach?

A. serious, popular and slow                          B. tall, skillful and successful

C. kind, powerful and undefeated                   D. well-known, strict and experienced

3.. Why did some rival coaches take their teams away from the floor before Power warmed up?

A. Their teams refused to play Power.             B. Their teams feared to see Alcindor.

C. Their teams would lose courage.                 D. Their teams would lose interest.

4.. What does the last paragraph mainly discuss?

A. How Donohue protected Alcindor from the press.

B. How Alcindor disliked meeting reporters.

C. Why the press followed Alcindor closely.

D. Why the public wanted Alcindor badly.
