【題目】Get a taste of the amazing world of engineering

Do you want to help shape the future of everything from entertainment and transport to sport and the environment? Then you might want to think about the fascinating world of engineering. Tomorrow's Engineers Week is running 4-8 February 2020, and is the perfect time to get an idea of what engineering is all about.

Engineers are the people who use scientific knowledge, ranging from long-established scientific laws to cutting-edge discoveries, to solve problems and improve life for all of us. Tomorrow's Engineers Week aims to get young people interested in this exciting career. It also wants to change the way we think about engineers.

One place to find out more about engineers is the website thisisengineering.org.uk, where you can meet 16 young engineers with amazing and different jobs. There's Halvard, who builds farm robots; and Olivia, who uses her chemical engineering skills to create soaps and shampoos kind to the skin and the environment. Alice digs train tunnels deep underground. Michelle builds rides. As a child, she loved these thrilling rides. At the age of 14, she attended a lecture on roller coaster design, and then she realized that engineering was a great way to turn her passion into her career.

If you want to meet some inspirational engineers, ask if your school has signed up to take part in the Big Assembly (大型集會) on 6 February. Don't worry if not, though, you can check it out yourself afterwards on the tomorrowsengineers.org.uk website.

這是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了Tomorrow's Engineers Week這一活動，并鼓勵學(xué)生積極參加。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第二段內(nèi)容“Tomorrow's Engineers Week aims to get young people interested in this exciting career.( 明天的工程師周這個項(xiàng)目旨在讓年輕人對這個令人興奮的職業(yè)感興趣。)”可知，明日工程師周項(xiàng)目的目的在于吸引年輕人對這個職業(yè)的興趣。故選D項(xiàng)。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第三段末尾內(nèi)容“Michelle builds rides. As a child, she loved these thrilling rides. At the age of 14, she attended a lecture on roller coaster design, and then she realized that engineering was a great way to turn her passion into her career.( 米歇爾設(shè)計(jì)飛車項(xiàng)目。當(dāng)她還是個孩子的時候，她就喜歡這些刺激的游樂設(shè)施。14歲時，她參加了一場關(guān)于過山車設(shè)計(jì)的講座，然后她意識到，工程學(xué)是把她的熱情轉(zhuǎn)化為事業(yè)的好方法。)”可知，Michelle設(shè)計(jì)了過山車。故選D項(xiàng)。

【3】推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章末尾內(nèi)容“If you want to meet some inspirational engineers, ask if your school has signed up to take part in the Big Assembly on 6 February. Don't worry if not, though, you can check it out yourself afterwards on the tomorrowsengineers.org.uk website(如果你想見到一些鼓舞人心的工程師，問問你的學(xué)校是否已經(jīng)報(bào)名參加2月6日的大會。如果沒有，也不用擔(dān)心，你可以在tomorrowsenginees.org.uk網(wǎng)站上查看)”由此判斷出，本文的目的是鼓勵參加這個活動。故選B項(xiàng)。

細(xì)節(jié)理解題

考查內(nèi)容主要涉及時間、地點(diǎn)、人物、事件、原因、結(jié)果、數(shù)字等議論文中例證細(xì)節(jié)和定義類細(xì)節(jié)。這類題目的共同特點(diǎn)是：答案一般都能在文章中找到。事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題可選用尋讀法。比如文章第1小題：

The goal of Tomorrow's Engineers Week is to________.

A．introduce young engineers

B．announce the latest discoveries

C．show the future work of engineers

D．attract the youth' s interest in engineering

根據(jù)題干進(jìn)行尋讀，定位到文章第二段內(nèi)容原句“Tomorrow's Engineers Week aims to get young people interested in this exciting career.”，與選項(xiàng)進(jìn)行對比選擇，D項(xiàng)“attract the youth' s interest in engineering”與原文“get young people interested in this exciting career”為同義表達(dá)。因此D項(xiàng)為答案。

【題目】Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

Today, the events 【1】 in realistic-looking or-sounding video and audio recordings need never have happened. They can instead be 【2】 automatically, by powerful computers and machine-learning software. The catch-all term for these computational productions is “deepfakes”.

The term first appeared on Reddit, a messaging board, as the username for an account which was producing 【3】 videos. An entire community 【4】 up around the creation of these videos, writing software tools that let anyone automatically 【5】 one person’s face onto the body of another. Reddit shut the community down, but the technology was out there. Soon it was being applied to political 【6】 and actors.

Tools for editing media 【7】 have existed for decades—think Photoshop. The power and peril of deepfakes is that they make fakery cheaper than ever before. Before deepfakes, a powerful computer and a good chunk of a university degree were needed to produce a realistic fake video of someone. Now some photos and an Internet connection are all that is required.

The consequences of cheap, widespread fakery are likely to be 【8】, albeit slow to unfold. Plenty worry about the possible impact that believable, fake footage of politicians might have on civil society—from a further loss of trust in media to the 【9】 for electoral distortions. These technologies could also be deployed against softer targets: it might be used, for instance, to bully classmates by creating imagery of them in embarrassing situations. In a world that was already saturated with 【10】 imagery, deepfakes make it plausible to push that even further.

【題目】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.

Donald Trump 【1】 his place as the United States’ 45th president after crossing the 270 electoral vote threshold(門檻) on November 9. The 70-year-old Republican will take over from Barack Obama, a two-term president to occupy the White House.

The rise of Trump, a celebrity businessman with no previous experience in the 【2】 or elected office, surprised nearly everyone in politics. Trump’s victory over Clinton will end eight years of Democratic 【3】 of the White House. He will govern with Congress fully under Republican control and lead a country deeply 【4】 by his campaign against Clinton. Given the numerous Republicans who never backed him, Trump will have to face divisions within his own party, too.

As he claimed victory, Trump urged Americans to “come together as one united people.” “I pledge to every citizen of our land that I will be president for all Americans,” he said in his victory speech. Striking a 【5】 tone, Trump continued that he would ask a few of those who had chosen not to support him for 【6】 and help so that “we can work together and unify our great country.”

As president, Trump’s government agenda remains unclear. The president-elect has promised to bring changes to the United States. He said he would build a wall along the U.S-Mexico border to stop immigrants from coming into the country 【7】, suspend immigration from countries with ties to terrorist groups, and 【8】 with foreign governments such as those of Russia and China. Trump has also promised to prioritize the economic growth that creates jobs and 【9】 incomes for all Americans.

Trump is a wild card, many voters said, but he definitely has a chance to be a successful president as long as he recognizes the responsibilities he 【10】 and follows through on his promises.
