A
The last school bell rings and your kids are off for the summer.For most kids those thoughts of schoolwork and lessons are a distant memory that they won't be thinking about again until fall.So it's important for them to continue some learning.
Have Your Kids Hit the Library
Encourage your kids to read by taking them to the library during the summer.If they don't have a library card，get them one.Many local libraries sponsor(主办)summer reading clubs that keep your kids wanting to read.Be sure to let your kids pick their own books out；summer is for fun reading.
Have Your Kids Read Every Day
Ask your kids to read outside in the sun.Join them，read aloud their favourite books，no matter how many times you have read them.Pick a time every day when you all stop and read as a family together.Nothing will stimulate a child to read than to have adults reading with them.
Find Other Ways to Encourage the Kids
If you are planning a family trip，have them check out the map.Let your kids go online and research where you are going.Have your kids check the weather report in the newspaper or what big event is happening and then have them report back on it at dinner time.Have your kids check out magazines or websites for recipes(食谱)that can be prepared.
Learning to express your thoughts.The writing in a logical(合逻辑的)manner is a skill that is often lost.To help your kids，have them write about things during the summer.If your kids love something such as animals，have them write short report about them to share with the family.If you are going on a trip，have your kids keep a travel journal.

Winslow Homer was a famous American painter.Since Art History class in college，I had always admired his works and I was lucky to see a large exhibition of his works when I was in my early 30s.It was at this event that I bought a print of his painting，“Snap the Whip”．It always hung in my classroom until I retired from teaching.
I thought it truly captured the freedom and fun of childhood.In the painting，a group of young boys are playing a game arm in arm on grass ground in front of a farm house.They are jumping and laughing wildly with great joy.One of the boys is falling down to the ground.They are not even wearing shoes!
During my last year of teaching，there was a young woman in her first year of teaching right next door to me and we got to be good friends.She had been an art student before taking up education.Her eyes were drawn immediately to this print when she entered my room.So on my last day of teaching，after the students had left，I took the painting off the wall and walked next door and gave it to her.
She was really surprised，but very glad to have it.I was delighted that she liked it and all the students she would have would treasure it as much as I had.We found the perfect place for it on one of her walls and hung it together.I was happy that she brought back this wonderful memory for me.

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.Before you start imagining a humanlike robot walking around the classroom，Will is just an avatar(化身) that turns up on the students' desktop，tablet，or smartphone screen when called.
Thanks to a digital camera and microphone，the avatar not only responds to questions the kids may have，but also picks up nonverbal signals.For example，if a student smiles at Will，he responds by smiling back.This twoway communication not only helps draw the students' attention，but also allows the program's developers to monitor their involvement(参与) and make changes if needed.
Vector's Chief Digital Officer，Nikhil Ravishankar，believes that Willlike avatars could be a novel way to attract the attention of the next generation.He says，“Using a digital human is a very popular method to deliver new information to people，and I have a lot of hope in this technology as a means to deliver rich and educational experience in the future.” Greg Cross，the Chief Business Officer for Soul Machines，states that kids who have grown up in this digital time adapt to new technology quickly，and he hopes to develop the idea of digital humans in the area of education further.
The program，in place since August 2018，has been a great success so far.However，no mater how popular it becomes，Will is unlikely to replace human educators any time soon.For one，the avatar's knowledge base is severely limited.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 teacher”，providing kids with oneonone help on the subjects or even topics.

9．In what way does the digital teacher help the students?
- 4 -
A．By taking part in discussion. B．By changing teaching methods. C．By communicating with students. D．By monitoring students' behavior.
C [细节理解题。根据第二段中的“the avatar not only responds to questions the kids may have，but also picks up nonverbal signals.”可知，Will不仅可以回答学生们的问题，还可以接收非语言信号，再根据“This twoway communication not only helps draw the students' attention，but also allows the program's developers to monitor their involvement(参与) and make changes if needed.”可知，这种双向的交流不仅有助于吸引学生注意力还能够让程序研发人员掌握他们的参与情况并做出更改，由此可知，数字老师是通过与学生交流来帮助他们的，故C项正确。]
10．What is Greg Cross's attitude toward the digital teacher? A．Doubtful. C．Uncaring.
B．Supportive. D．Dissatisfied.
B [推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Greg Cross，the Chief Business Officer for Soul Machines，states that kids who have grown up in this digital time adapt to new technology quickly，and he hopes to develop the idea of digital humans in the area of education further.”可知，Greg Cross认为，在这个数字时代长大的孩子很快就适应了新技术，他还希望在教育领域进一步发展数字人的理念，由此可知，Greg Cross对数字老师持支持的态度，故B项正确。]
11．What can be inferred about the digital teacher from the last paragraph? A．It has entered many homes as kids' private teacher. B．It will teach in class in place of human educators. C．It's good at handling unexpected situations. D．It remains to be improved.
D [推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“For one，the avatar's knowledge base is severely limited.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.”可知，数字老师在以下两方面还有不足——知识库有限以及不能处理教学过程中出现的意外情况，由此可知，数字老师仍有待改进，故D项正确。]

music，films，programmes，newspapers and books will come to us in the similar way.
In many places，agriculture is developing quickly and people are growing fruit and vegetables for export.This uses a lot of water.Therefore，there could be serious shortages of water.Some scientists predict that water could be the cause of wars if we don't act now.
In the future，cars will run on new，clean fuels and they will go very fast.Cars will have computers to control the speed and there won't be any accidents.Today，many cars have computers that tell drivers exactly where they are.By 2050，the computer will control the car and drive it to your destination.Also，by 2050，space planes will fly people from Los Angeles to Tokyo in just two hours.
Some big companies now prefer to use robots that do not ask for pay rises or go on strike，and work 24 hours a day.They are also easy to control.And they never argue with people.They can be easily used in a variety of places—factories，schools，offices，hospitals，shops and homes.
Scientists will have discovered how to control genes.Scientists have already produced clones of animals.By 2050，scientists will be able to produce clones of people and decide how they look and how they behave.Scientists will be able to do these things，but should they?

Ⅵ.概要写作(满分25分)
阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
Workaholics live for their work，often spending many extra hours at work，and often taking work home to complete.It's fine to live in a workhard culture，but when work becomes the only reason for a person's existence above more important things(such as family and friends)，the issue becomes critical.That's the problem more and more Americans are faced with.
Americans are working more hours per week than in years past，and with many companies reducing employees，more and more workers are worried about their own jobs.Some studies show that as many as 40 percent of American workers don't even bother to take vacations，partly because of fears they may not have a job to come back to if they do.Besides，it is obvious that part of the matter is financial.More and more people begin to define success in terms of financial measures.The higher one's income is，the more respect one gets.Finally，people nowadays live and work in a connected environment—emails，instant messaging，fax machines，and cell phones—making it hard for them to truly get time away from their work，even when they are on holiday.
When work becomes the only reason for being—when it becomes the only thing people think about，the only thing that truly makes people happy，many Americans find that they are no longer close to their kids.Divorce rate jumps and serious stressrelated health problems come up.Undoubtedly，it is time to do something.
To reduce workaholism，you must stay away from work once in a while.There are many ways to do that：Spend time with family and friends；Call home often to stay connected；Learn to say no to new assignments；Consider exercises to get your body back to a healthy shape；Fight the urge that everything you do must be perfect.It will take some effort，but for yourself and those you love，you really should make the effort.Have a try and you won't regret it.
_________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________ [参考范文]
An increasing number of Americans are becoming workaholics. They work extra hours every week to maintain their jobs and become financially successful.Even on holiday，modern communication technologies always connect them to work.Consequently，

workaholism breaks up their families and damages their health.Luckily，there is a lot one can do to make time away from work though it takes some effort，but anyway，it's worthwhile to have a try.
