1．Performances Let's Face the Music
Ria Jones，the world-famous star of Evita，Cats，and Les Miserables，returns home for two special concerts.
Proving that there is more to her than a great gift for singing the great show songs，Ria invites you on a memorable journey that goes from musical to classical and from classical to pop.Songs from Miss Saigon perfectly mix with Disney favorites from Beauty and the Beast along with some popular standards for a great evening in the company of a very special vocal talent.
Song Recital
Judy Coe performs widely as a soloist（獨(dú)唱者） in America and is also a music teacher.The programme includes songs from Porgy and Bess，a successful American opera，with special solo piano arrangements by Katherine Morris.Judy ends the concert with songs whose texts are by Shakespeare，Yeats，Eliot，Oscar Wilde and Emily Dickinson.The concert will be framed by the singing of Welsh and American music by the popular Gyrlais Male Voice Choir，directed by Meirwyn Thomas.
Mayte Martin
Mayte Martin is easily the best-known Catalan singer.She has been very popular since her early twenties，when she won a string of prizes.She has taken part in Barcelona's WOMAD festivals and in the Gipsy King's celebrated festival Mosaique Gitane at Nimes.She will be accompanied by her regular solo guitarist，two dancers and a "clapper".
The Adventure of Malic
This show is about the fantastically dangerous life of an imaginary Iberian character called Malic.In this show he visits China and gets into fights with dragons and then travels to Barcelona where he comes across many dangerous characters.The show is told using Chinese shadow puppets （皮影），beautifully handled，with a live narrator-musician who gives life to the show in English.

2．My violin is like a soul mate that whispers words of wisdom to me.Together，we've gone through both tears and happiness.
About 12 years ago，I made acquaintance with it following an order from my mom.Many hours of boredom were spent practicing it.And to make things worse，the disappointment in my teacher's eyes as I played the wrong notes was like an invisible hammer，striking on my heart.One day，I finally decided：I hate it!
By chance，things changed when I was seven.I was at home lying on the sofa，wondering how those famous violinists dealt with this terrible dilemma.I searched online for the E-minor Concerto，a well-known violin work by German composer Felix Mendelssohn，and listened to it.
A beautiful and mysterious sound came from the violin as the bow moved across jye.ai.It was like the music slid over the flowers，rose up，and started to fill the air.The violin's voice woke up the sun；made the trees green，and freshened the air.As the music changed，the sky turned back to gray.A gloomy shade covered the grass as all the sunshine disappeared.I could hear children crying and men shouting.It was like an invisible claw had grabbed my heart tightly，making it unable to beat.
That glorious day set off my passion and interest in violin - I grabbed mine and never let it go.Before the memories faded，I stared at my instrument.Without hesitating，I picked it up，rosined（用松香擦）the bow，and began to play.Peace filled my heart.
My violin has been by my side for 12 years.When I feel happy，an energetic tune makes it even better；when I'm deep in sorrow，a peaceful tune washes it away；when I'm walking on air，feeling especially pleased with my achievements，solemn（莊嚴(yán)的）tunes calm me down.Gradually，it has become a part of my life.

3．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 change if necessary.
D．It can talk any topic for free.
（3）What's author's attitude to Will's replacing Human educators soon？
A．Unclear.
B．Doubtful.
C．Optimistic.
D．Disapproving.
（4）What might be the best title for the passage？
A．New High-tech Contributes to Education.
B．New Zealand Will Replace Teachers in Classrooms.
C．The World's First Digital Teacher，a Help to Students.
D．The World's First Digital Teacher Appears in Classroom.組卷：3引用：1難度：0.6

9．閱讀下面材料，根據(jù)其內(nèi)容和所給段落開頭語續(xù)寫兩段，使之構(gòu)成一篇完整的短文。
Two men， both seriously ill， occupied the same hospital room. One man called Ben was allowed to sit up in his bed for an hour each afternoon to help drain（排出）the fluid from his lungs. His bed was next to the room's only window. The other man， Leo， had to spend all his time flat on his back.
The men talked for hours on end. They spoke of their wives and families， their homes， their jobs， their involvement in the military service， where they had been on vacation.
And every afternoon when Ben could sit up，he would pass the time by describing to his roommate all the things he could see outside the window. Leo began to live for those one-hour periods where his world would be broadened and lightened by all the activity and color of the world outside.
The window overlooked a park with a lovely lake. Ducks and swans played on the water while children sailed their model boats. Young lovers walked arm in arm among flowers of every color of the rainbow. Grand old trees graced the landscape， and a fine view of the city could be seen in the distance. As Ben described all this in detail， Leo would close his eyes and imagine the beautiful scene.
One warm afternoon Ben described a parade passing by. Although Leo couldn't hear the band-he could see it in his mind's eye as the gentleman by the window described it with descriptive words. Each time the nurse saw the warm and touching scene， she was always struck by devoted friendship between these two men. Days and weeks passed.
注意：
1．續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應(yīng)為 150左右。
2．請(qǐng)?jiān)诖痤}卡的相應(yīng)位置作答。

However， he could see nothing but a blank wall of another building._______.組卷：4引用：1難度：0.2
