Free Trade Inn, Newcastle
House favourites
Fyne Ales Jarl, 3.8%
Scream for Pizza food truck, every Wednesday, £5 (if pre-booked)
Moors and oceans are great, but looking up the Tyne towards the city’s bowed bridges from this pub in Ouseburn is another kind of delight. It is especially exciting at sunset, as the Instagrammers and amateur photographers of north-east England have discovered — city lights gleaming(闪烁) against Miami Vice skies.
The Angel on the Bridge, Henley-on-Thames
House favourites
Brakspear Bitter, 3.4%
Slow-roast belly pork, £13.50
For those who prefer their views more landscaped than wild. The river is peaceful, the ducks entertaining, the air clean, and sunsets and mist keep the view varied all year round. The pub even has its own moorings for people with boats.
Duke of Marlborough, Suffolk
House favourites
Adnams Dry Hopped Lager, 4.2%
Braised beef cheek, £13.50
Time has a habit of leaving its trace on village pubs and the Duke is no different. Originally built as a medieval hall house, it became an inn during the 17th century. With the help of what is obviously a very active community , the pub is a lively place attracting drinkers, foodies and families with kids . Help yourself to dog biscuits if you bring your best friend.

Sunday roast, £7.95
In 2010, what was then the Bevendean pub was closed by the police due to a series of antisocial incidents. Four years later it reopened as the Bevy, after locals bought it and carried out essential works. The whole project is an example of how an urban pub in an unfashionable area can be saved.

27、 Endangered Species Day is a bittersweet event. While it's heartbreaking to think back on all the species we have already lost during our last few generations, and all we stand to lose in the next few.【1】.
Make a donation to a conservation organization. Every penny helps these local, national and interactional groups to do on-the-ground work in protecting habitats and species.【2】.
Visit your local natural history museum virtually. You'll learn a lot about your local wildlife including species that may be threatened with decline. Endangered species aren't just rhinos in Africa or leopards in Asia- they're also the insects, birds, mammals and even plants right in our own backyards, and many times there is the opportunity to protect them.
Join a wildlife conservation organization. There are many organizations to choose from including the National Wildlife Federation, National Audubon Society, Wildlife Conservation Network and more.【3】. Your membership shows your ongoing support and also provides a way to stay in the loop about what's happening and how you can help.
【4】. Today is the perfect day to send a few tweets, add a few Facebook updates, photos about endangered species conservation. You can be a source of information and awareness today and perhaps inspire even more people to get involved!
Stay informed! Make it a daily practice to check in on news about endangered species on a local, national or global level. You'll be able to see when and how you can help.
Many species are endangered now, but we can change that; we can end poaching, habitat destruction, pollution and so many other factors causing declines around the world,【5】.
A.Even if it's just $5, it helps
B.It is time to get involved and make a difference
C.So let's celebrate it with as many people as possible
D.It's also a chance to look at some ways we can get started
E.Volunteer to work in some wildlife conservation organizations
F.Take to social media with information about endangered species
G.You can join a larger organization or even one that focuses on specific species or habitats
28、Small talk. Chitchat. These are the short conversations we have at parties, while we wait in line at the store, at family events or work. 【1】 Often we have to make small talk with complete strangers.
Many people find these small conversations about random topics difficult. Some people say they hate it. 【2】They may even call it idle chitchat or idle chatter, meaning it doesn't do anything. They consider small talk not important.
【3】 These exchanges can open doors that may lead to larger, more meaningful conversations. When you first meet someone or talk to someone you don't know well, it would be awkward to begin a conversation about a really deep topic such as war, politics or the meaning of life. Small talk also gives you the chance to decide if you want to know that person better-or not. Let's say you make small talk with someone at a party. 【4】You may not want to build a friendship with them unless you really, really love cats.
Chitchat can also increase your feeling of understanding, or empathy, toward people you know but not well. Chatting with a colleague about their child may help you to understand more of their life outside the office. 【5】
A．However, small talk is important.
B．And small talk may make us happier.
C．But they only want to talk about cats.
D．Others say small talk is a waste of time.
E．This could help build healthy work relationships.
F．However, some people are not good at small talk.
G．Sometimes we make small talk with people we already know but not well.
29、 A woman from the United Arab Emirates has regained consciousness after spending 27 years in a vegetative state (植物人状态). Munira Abdulla was aged 32 when she suffered a brain injury after the car she was riding in was hit by a bus in 1991. Her son Omar revealed her fantastic recovery in an interview with The National.
He described how the accident occurred when he was four years old and needed to be brought home from kindergarten. Ms Abdulla's brother-in-law drove her to school to collect Omar and the family were driving home, with mother and child in the back seat, when they were hit by the bus. As the bus hit, Ms Abdulla threw herself around her son to protect him from the impact. While she suffered a severe head injury, he escaped with just a bruise. Omar described how his mother was left untreated for hours because the family were unable to call for help and there was little traffic, before she was transferred to a clinic in London.
There, doctors diagnosed a vegetative state, meaning she was completely unresponsive but able to feel pain. She was transferred back to the UAE and put on a breathing machine and a feeding tube to keep her alive, spending the next few decades hooked up to machines. But in April 2017, Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed, the Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi, heard of her case and gave her family a fund for treatment. Ms Abdula was flown to Germany where she underwent surgeries to repair her muscles while being given medication to improve her sleep patterns.
Around a year later she began making strange sounds, and within three days she called out to Omar using his name, "It was her! She was calling my name, I was flying with joy；for years I have dreamed of this moment, and my name was the first word she said," he said.
【1】How old was Ms Abdulla when she came to life?
A.27. B.28
C.32. D.59.
【2】What can be inferred from paragraph 2?
A.People there lacked skills of first aid.
B.Omar’s uncle suffered a slight injury.
C.The traffic accident happened at a quiet place.
D.Ms Abdulla forgot the emergency phone number.
【3】Why was Ms Abdulla sent to Germany?
A.To receive free treatment.
B.To recognize her son's voice.
C.To meet Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed.
D.To have operations and improve her condition.
【4】What's the text mainly about？
A.Every mother's child is an angel.
B.Children are what the mothers are.
C.A mother wakes up from unconsciousness.

34、Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.
AI artwork sells for $432,500 — nearly 45 times its high【1】 — as Christie’s becomes the first auction house to offer a work of art created by an algorithm. This portrait, however, is not the product of a human mind. It was created by an【2】 intelligence, an algorithm defined by that algebraic formula with its many parentheses. And when it went under the【3】 in the Prints & Multiples sale at Christie’s on 23-25 October, Portrait of Edmond Belamy sold for an【4】 $432,500, signaling the arrival of AI art on the world auction stage.
From a distance, Portrait of Edmond de Belamy looks almost plausible. Up close, however, the paintwork becomes a grid of mechanical-looking dots, the man’s face a golden blur with black holes for eyes. Look into those eyes. They show no sign of feeling or life. Did a computer make this?
The answer is yes. The first artwork【5】 by AI to be sold at Christie’s, its【6】 price would seem to suggest that in future we will get computers to make art for us. Robot van Gogh will harmlessly cut its ear off and robot Picasso will be a genius.
Is this the future AI art visionaries such as the French collective Obvious, which programmed this “painter” by getting it to compare its own work with 15,000 pre-20th century portraits, have in mind? Or are they just, God forbid, making a fast buck from deceivable art collectors? Because believing the algorithm that knocked this up to be in any meaningful way an “artist” is like thinking your voice-interaction programme is out to get you. Dream on. Computers would need to replicate human consciousness before they could replicate the funny thing humans do called “art”.
Art is a way in which human 【7】 expresses itself, and is equally true of the earliest cave art, Rembrandt’s portraits and Duchamp’s urinal. And that is what is missing from Portrait of Edmond Bellamy. Art is a way humans communicate ideas, perceptions and feelings to each other. It has no 【8】 outside the human passion to communicate. So in what meaningful sense can an AI replica of certain【9】 traits of old master paintings be called art?
For a robot to really make art, it would need an autonomous mind that was emotional as well as【10】. No AI developer has yet claimed to be anywhere near achieving that and if they ever do, their creation will probably have better things to do than paint portraits — like destroy humanity.
Maybe afterwards robots will invent their own kind of art, but it won’t be some poor pastiche of human genius.
It will be beyond anything we organics could imagine.
35、Directions：Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.
A huge milestone has just been reached in the field of artificial intelligence: AlphaGo, a program developed by Google’s DeepMind unit, has defeated legendary Go player Lee Se-dol in the first of five historic matches being held in Seoul, South Korea. Lee 【1】 after about three and a half hours, with 28 minutes and 28 seconds remaining on his clock. The series is the first time a professional 9-dan Go player has taken on a computer, and Lee is 【2】 for a $1 million prize.
“I was very surprised,”said Lee after the match.“I didn’t expect to lose. But I didn’t think AlphaGo would play the game in such a perfect manner.”DeepMind founder Demis Hassabis expressed“huge 【3】 for Lee Se-dol and his amazing skills.”calling the game“hugely exciting”and“very tense.”Team lead David Silver said it was an“amazing game of Go that really pushed AlphaGo to its 【4】.”
Go is an ancient Chinese board game that has long been considered one of the great 【5】faced by AI. While computer programs ow best the world’s leading human players of games like checkers and chess, the high level of intuition and 【6】required by Go has made it tough for computers to crack. DeepMind’s AlphaGo program is the most 【7】effort yet, using a complex system of deep neural networks and machine learning; it beat European champion Fan Hui last year, but Lee Se-dol is another 【8】 rival entirely.
“I don’t regret accepting this challenge,”said Lee.“I am in shock, I admit that, but what’s done is done. I enjoyed this game and look forward to the next. I think I failed on the opening layout so if I do a better job on the opening aspect I think I will be able to increase my 【9】 of winning.”Lee was surprised both by how strong AlphaGo’s opening was, and by some 【10】moves.

37、阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。
Smell the flowers before you go to sleep and you may just end up with rosy dreams. Have a whiff of rotten(腐烂的)eggs during the night and your dreams may be【1】(pleasant). So says researcher Dr. Boris Stuck, 【2】invited sleeping volunteers to a rose vs. rotten egg test in the University Hospital Mannheim in Germany. The subjects didn’t dream about roses【3】eggs, but rather he found that what they smelt affected the emotions of【4】(they) dreams.
And if you think【5】(smell) have a say in dreams, wait for what TV tells us. A UK study reveals that people exposed【6】black-and-white film and TV in their youth are to have monochromic(单色的)dreams throughout their life more【7】(probable). Eva Murzyn from the University of Dundee tested two age groups— one half 【8】(age) over 55 and【9】other half under 25.
The result? Under 5% of the dreams of the under-25s were in black and white. 【10】(watch)color TV in childhood seems to be the reason why.

40、阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
Last Saturday, when I was checking out at the grocery store, the woman in front of me caught my attention. She was in a red coat and had long hair. She was pushing one shopping cart with a basket in front. The basket held just a few items：corm, a lot of bread, some canned goods and a bunch of gorgeous colored roses. Several times when I was looking at her, I caught her looking at those lovely roses and smiling. I thought she must like roses very much. Therefore, I commented that those roses were, indeed, very lovely and beautiful. She said, “Roses are my favorite flowers, and I really do love them.”
Then, when I was waiting to bill my items, I heard the woman say to the cashier, “Em…, you can put those roses back, because I really can’t afford them now. I don’t have enough money.”
On hearing that, I asked her if she allowed me to buy them for her. She shook her head and said, “Why would you want to do that? You certainly don’t have to.” I replied that I just wanted to give her “a special thing” because she loved them so much. However, she still seemed hesitant. Then I told her that she would be doing me a great kindness if she allowed me to gift them to her. With tears in her eyes, she agreed and said, “I really do love them. Thank you very much.”
The moment I handed the cashier the money for the roses, I noticed he was a little teary too. As I said goodbye to him and began to walk away, I found the woman holding the roses and staring at me at the gate.

41、阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
One winter Sunday, my little sister, Colleen, and I built the greatest snowman ever. We gave him a carrot nose, beautiful hat, cozy scarf and gloves. He was a masterpiece（杰作）.
The next morning when looking outside, we smiled lovingly at him over our meal. We gave him a high five as we passed by on our way to school. A lot of kids went past our house, so he was the hot topic at our school that morning. It was our pride！
The day dragged on until finally we could rush home. But as our yard came into sight, we saw something wrong. The snowman was gone！We only found a broken stick here, a torn glove there and balls of snow everywhere. Worst of all, the snowman’s once-proud carrot nose lay limp（无力的）and half-eaten.
What had happened？We were both astonished and angry. But then, we were only kids, who wouldn’t have anything take away our happiness. Actually we knew only one thing: Our snowman would rise again. And so we rebuilt him.
The next day we came home to find another mess on the front lawn（草坪）. For the rest of the week, the destruction was repeated daily. Each afternoon we’d return to find our snowman had fallen apart, and then we built again.
By Saturday morning, we had a plan. We borrowed a really big bucket （水桶）from Mom, filled it with water and left it outside. The next morning. it was frozen solid. We packed snow all around the ice block as the base （底座）of the snowman. Then we built the other parts of it once again The trap was set, and we wailed for the snowman bullies（破坏者） to come
