To honor her father, who she also describes as her best friend, she decided to start a book drive called For Love, 2 books for kids with cancer.“It was very much an overnight idea,” she explains. “I posted a message on an app asking my neighbors for used book donations. I was only expecting a few here and there, but the response was truly 3 and it was just the push I needed to co-exist with my sadness rather than letting it 4 me.”“It was absolutely heartbreaking to watch my dad 5 cancer and see him lose a little bit of himself each day, but the book drive allowed me to 6 a newfound sense of purpose mixed with an even greater sense ofsympathy and desire to help others. I wanted to help 7 . They’ve always held a soft spot in my heart.”Using the 8 she earns from working at her parents’ bread shop, Alice has bought many books out of her own pocket.

in bitterly cold waters off the southern-most tip of Africa when he saw her--an octopus hiding under a coat of shells and stones．Deeply attracted, he began following this incredibly shy creature．He kept coming back every day to the same place where he first met her, trying to stay very still in her presence．For weeks she refused him: hiding in her home, or pushing her liquid body into the nearest crack to escape．And then, after Foster's dogged persistence for 26 days, she reached out and touched him．In the documentary "My Octopus Teacher", this tender moment moves you in a way you never thought an octopus tentacle（触手）wrapped around a human hand could．The nature documentary won Best Feature at the EarthxFilm Festival 2020．"If you gain the trust of that animal over a period of months, it will actually ignore you to a certain degree and carry on with its normal life, and allow you to step inside its secret world," Foster says in his documentary．We see her outsmarting a shark by riding on its back, growing a new tentacle after surviving a shark attack, and finally wasting away after laying her eggs．"The octopus showed me many behaviors that were completely new to science," Foster says．After years of filming some of the planet s most dangerous animals, Foster was burnt out, depressed, and disconnected．"I was struggling．My only way to heal felt like I needed to be in the ocean, my go-to happy place as a child," he says．Completely involving himself in the underwater world has calmed his mind．Over the years other animals have reached out to make contact, including dolphins, whales and even sharks．"But nothing has compared to this 'once-in-a-lifetime' bond with the octopus," Foster says．The octopus changed Foster's life forever．Foster says the octopus taught him that humans are part of the natural world, and not simply visitors．"Your own role and place in the natural world is the most precious gift we humans have received," he says．24．Foster followed the octopus with _______________．A．great patience B．a professional goalC．scientific curiosity D．an adventurous spirit25．According to "My Octopus Teacher", the octopus _______________．A．enjoyed Foster's attention B．taught Foster surviving skillsC．placed trust in Foster gradually D．benefited from Foster's company26．What did Foster learn from the experience?A．The natural world offers many gifts．B．Humans belong to the natural world．C．The natural world never fails to impress．D．Humans should protect the natural world．COnce small farmers in Masii, a remote village in Kenya, have picked their crops, all they can do is wait until a buyer trucks through．The system works fairly well for beans and corn, but mangoes-the area's other main crop-spoil（腐烂）more quickly．If the trader is late, they rot．Obadiah Kisaingu, a farmer in Masii, estimates 40% of the village's mango crop is lost to spoilage．But a simple coating could change that．A company, SmartTech, has created a product that doubles the shelf life of fresh produce, enabling farmers like Kisaingu to access far-off, larger markets．More time for fresh produce on grocers' shelves also means less food waste-a $2.6 trillion problem, according to the United Nations' Food and Agriculture Organization（FAO）．James Rogers, CEO of SmartTech, who has a Ph．D in materials science, wanted to solve the problem for food much in the same way that oxide barriers preventing rust（锈）have achieved for steel．Fortunately, researchers have found when plants made the jump from water to land hundreds of millions of years ago, they developed cutin, a barrier which is made of fatty acids that link together to form a seal around the plant, helping keep water in．The cutin was such a grand strategy that today you'll still find it across the plant kingdom．Not that it's exactly the same solution across the board: An orange can last longer than a strawberry not so much because of the thickness of its skin, but because of the difference in the arrangement of those cutin molecules（分子）on thesurface．SmartTech's challenge was first identifying the key components of cutin．After extensive trials, Rogers and his team developed a natural and tasteless protective coating from plant material-stems, leaves and skins．The product extends the sweet spot between ripening and rot．And best of all, the treated produce doesn't require refrigeration．SmartTech traveled a long road to get here．It was six years from launch before products applied with the substance were in stores．SmartTech-treated fruits and vegetables are already in large grocery chains in Europe and the U．S．and the company recently gained regulatory approval in several less developed countries in South America．"SmartTech has huge potential to turn poor farmers in Africa into commercial farmers," says Rogers．"That means more money in pockets, and more food in stomachs．" But whether the company can cost-effectively reach small farmers in far-off areas still remains a challenge．27．The author mentions the small farmers in Kenya to _______________．A．stress their need for preserving produceB．show their difficulty in harvesting cropsC．evaluate their loss caused by slow transportD．help express their wish to reach larger markets28．What can we learn about SmartTech's product?A．It is financially supported by FAO．B．It is intended to replace refrigeration．C．It is designed to thicken produce's skin．D．It is based on plants' own defence system．29．What does James Rogers expect?A．To profit farmers．B．To earn more money．C．To produce more food．．D．To expand grocery chains．30．The main purpose of the passage is to _______________．A．prove a theory B．promote a productC．introduce a company D．present a technologyDElizabeth Spelke, a cognitive（认知的）psychologist at Harvard, has spent her career testing the world's most complex learning system-the mind of a baby．Babies might seem like no match for artificial intelligence（AI）．They are terrible at labeling images, hopeless at mining text, and awful at video games．Then again, babies can do thingsbeyond the reach of any AI．By just a few months old, they've begun to grasp the foundations of language, such as grammar．They've started to understand how to adapt to unfamiliar situations．Yet even experts like Spelke don't understand precisely how babies-or adults, for that matter-learn．That gap points to a puzzle at the heart of modern artificial intelligence: We're not sure what to aim for．Consider one of the most impressive examples of AI, Alpha Zero, a programme that plays board games with superhuman skill．After playing thousands of games against itself at a super speed, and learning from winning positions, Alpha Zero independently discovered several famous chess strategies and even invented new ones．It certainly seems like a machine eclipsing human cognitive abilities．But Alpha Zero needs to play millions more games than a person during practice to learn a game．Most importantly, it cannot take what it has learned from the game and apply it to another area．To some AI experts, that calls for a new approach．In a November research paper, Francois Chollet, a well-known AI engineer, argued that it's misguided to measure machine intelligence just according to its skills at specific tasks．"Humans don't start out with skills; they start out with a broad ability to acquire new skills," he says．"What a strong human chess player is demonstrating is not only the ability to play chess, but the potential to fulfill any task of a similar difficulty．" Chollet posed a set of problems, each of which requires an AI programme to arrange colored squares on a grid（格栅）based on just a few prior examples．It's not hard for a person．But modern machine-learning programmes-trained on huge amounts of data-cannot learn from so few examples．Josh Tenenbaum, a professor in MIT's Center for Brains, Minds & Machines, works closely with Spelke and uses insights from cognitive science as inspiration for his programmes．He says much of modern AI misses the bigger picture, comparing it to a cartoon about a two-dimensional world populated by simple geometrical（几何形的）people．AI programmes will need to learn in new ways-for example, by drawing causal inferences rather than simply finding patterns．"At some point-you know, if you're intelligent--you realize maybe there's something else out there," he says．31．Compared to an advanced AI programme, a baby might be better at _______________．A．labeling images B．identifying locationsC．playing games D．making adjustments32．What does the underlined word "eclipsing" in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A．Stimulating．B．Measuring．C．Beating．D．Limiting．33．Both Francois Chollet and Josh Tenenbaum may agree that _______________．A．AI is good at finding similar patternsB．AI should gain abilities with less trainingC．AI lacks the ability of generalizing a skillD．AI will match humans in cognitive ability34．Which would be the best title for this passage?A．What is exactly intelligence?B．Why is modern AI advanced?C．Where is human intelligence going?D．How do humans tackle the challenge of AI?第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项．选项中有两项为多余选项．Most people admit extreme nervousness at even the thought of giving a speech．______35______ Through speaking, we gain the power to share what we are thinking with others．Actually, not only do most beginning speakers suffer anxiety at the thought of speaking in public, but even powerful speakers like Abraham Lincoln and Franklin D.Roosevelt were nervous before speaking．______36______ Some people tremble, sweat, and experience shortness of breath and increased heartbeat．As they go through their speech, they may be so preoccupied with themselves that they lose contact with the audience, jump back and forth from point to point, and on occasion forget what they have planned to say．_______37______ And they still go on to deliver a strong speech．The secret is not to get rid of all of your feelings but to learn to channel and control your nervousness．Very few people are so bothered by anxiety that they are unable to proceed with the speech．______38______ Why? Because you must be a little more aroused than usual to do your best．A bit of nervousness gets the adrenaline（肾上腺素）flowing-and that brings you to speaking readiness．Many speakers worry that others will notice how nervous they are-and that makes them even more self-conscious and nervous．A young woman reported that she broke out at home before each speech．She was amazed when other students said to her, "You seem so calm when you speak．" ______39______ Once you realize that your audience does not perceive your nervousness to the degree that you imagine, you will remove one unnecessary source of anxiety．The more experience you get in speaking, the better you become at coping with nervousness．As time goes on, you will come to find that having a group of people listening to you alone is a very satisfying experience．A．The only thing we have to fear is fear itself．B．In fact, it would be harmful if you were not nervous．C．Try getting feedback from your listeners after a speech．D．The difference in nervousness among people is a matter of degree．E．Yet you must learn to cope with nervousness because speaking is important．F．Others, however, may get butterflies in their stomachs and feel weak in the knees．G．Perhaps the most important time for coping with nervousness is shortly before the speech．第三部分：书面表达（共两节，32分）第一节阅读表达（共4小题；第1、2题各2分，第3题3分，第4题5分，共12分）阅读下面短文，根据题目要求回答问题．Fashion's Melt DownThrowaway culture is trashing the planet-but one young chemical engineer has her own way to turn it over．Fast fashion has changed the way we dress．We buy more clothes, more often-but we wear them less．Alina Bassi, founder of Kleiderly, wants to give our clothing waste another chance at a useful life．Bassi has always cared about the threat of climate change, but she actually started her career in the oil industry．After a few years, she landed at bio-bean, a startup that turned waste coffee grounds into products that could be burnt for heat and fuel．After a year, Bassi was keen to branch out-used coffee grounds are not the biggest threat facing the planet．Instead, she poured her efforts into tackling a much bigger global polluter: the fashion industry．According to the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, we produce 100 billion items of clothing per year, and this is set to double by 2050．But they don't last long enough to offset（抵消）the carbon cost of producing the material, creating the clothes, and then shipping them to customers．"It makes no sense that we have such a high carbon footprint for something so short-lived," Bassi says．Using the principles of a circular economy, Bassi has developed a low-energy, multi-stage process to turn clothing fibres into an alternative to oil-based plastic．This new plastic can then be used by manufacturers in their existing machines, so that your old T-shirts and jeans will become different products instead of clothes, such as clothing hangers, or even furniture．Fashion companies have some other ways to reduce fashion waste, from creating clothes designed to last, to recycling the fabric to make more clothing．But "a problem this big needs multiple solutions," Bassi says．"We think about the multiple lives of a product and how we can keep reusing it instead of letting it fall into landfills or incinerators（焚化炉）,"she says．40．Why did Bassi switch her focus to the fashion industry?41．Please paraphrase the underlined sentence in your own words．42．Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why．⚫Kleiderly can change old jackets and trousers into a new material, which can be used to make more clothing．43．Please briefly present your own solution（s）to the throwaway problem in daily life．（about 40
