His reporting helped his television audiences make sense of the horrors of war, but underneath there were more personal scars attracting him to the frontline.Fergal had seen violence ever since the early days of his work covering the fighting in Belfast. Having reported wars all over the world, in 1994, he was sent to cover the civil war in Rwanda. But what Fergal saw there shocked him like nothing before, as he told BBC World Service programme, Lives Less Ordinary. “I began to have terrible dreams of Rwanda. And of course, at that stage, it was clear that I was mentally hurt. Did I go to the experts in hospital? No, I didn’t.”Instead, Fergal turned to drinking alcohol and he had another addiction to deal with - the need to keep returning to war. Fergal knew it wasn’t healthy, but he couldn’t stop.Around the year 2001, it seemed that war was everywhere, and Fergal kept on reporting - in Sudan, Iraq, Afghanistan, and Lebanon. But the nightmares didn’t stop, and his mental health got worse and worse. You might expect Fergal to call it a day at this po int, but that’s not how addiction works. He just kept getting pulled back in. He reached a point where he couldn’t carry that anymore, and it’s not dramatic, it’s a slow, steady ruin. Fergal had a nervous breakdown - a period of dangerous mental illness, leaving him unable to face his life. At last, he was admitted into hospital, and this time diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder, PTSD - a mental illness experienced after violent or shocking events.After his diagnosis of PTSD, he got support and was finally able to stay away from alcohol and war. In his new book, The Madness: A Memoir of War, Fear and PTSD, Fergal discusses his horrible life living with PTSD.4. What caused Fergal’s illness?A．The fighting he covered in Belfast. B．The violence he saw in Rwanda.C．The terrible dreams he had in Rwanda. D．The wars he reported all over the world.5. How did he treat his illness?A．He got drunk and slept well. B．He talked to the experts at once.C．He told the audiences through BBC. D．He abandoned himself to alcohol and thefrontline.6. What does the underlined phrase in Paragraph 4 possibly mean?A．To call for help. B．To make phone calls one day.C．To cry all day. D．To put a stop to it.7. Which can be inferred from Fergal’s experience?A．Overwork can make a person mad. B．Every experience ends in a book.C．Wars are cruel and damaging. D．Devotion to one’s job is respectable.Most of Texas has recently broken a heat-related record in one way or another. Dallas reached a record high of 110 degrees Fahrenheit amid weeks of continuing 100 or near 100 degrees days. So did Austin with more than 100 degrees and Houston 109 degrees.Heat and drought are slow disasters, ones we don’t jump to respond to, like we do for a hurricane or a tornado. But the destruction is piecemeal — a damaged road here, a broken water pipe there, water tables that aren’t filling as fast as we drain them. Worse still, we fail to pay enough attention to its damage to our health, water, housing and other basics we need to survive.W hile heat is normal in Texas, what it does shouldn’t be considered normal. We’ve been asked to reduce our electrical use and our water use. We’re rightfully fined if our sprinklers (喷洒器) run on the wrong days. When my handyman texts me, asking to postpone work around my house because his day job is outside and he is literally burned out, I see how life at this temperature is stressful, harmful and terrifying.Is there political will around heat? Jesse Keenan, who studies climate change and infrastructure (基础设施) at Tulane University, told me yes. And no. Some of the fixes are alarmingly simple, like painting buildings white or making roads lighter when we rebuild them so they reflect heat. But others, like updating water lines, are expensive and time-consuming, he explained. And costs for things like water are going to skyrocket soon. Infrastructure doesn’t impress the voters, he added. But if Texas is going to be livable for our kids and grandkids, and if the southern half of the U.S. in general is going to survive, infrastructure is going to have to meet the satisfaction of real housewives.8. Which of the following sentence can best describe the heat in Texas?A．The heat happens slowly and it’s preventable. B．The heat is destructive but it’s taken lightly.C．The heat is noticeable and happens quickly. D．The heat is always responded to immediately.9. Why does the author say “what it does shouldn’t be considered normal”?A．We have been asked to reduce electrical use and water use because of heat.B．My handyman texts me to postpone work because he is almost burned out.C．The heat has broken records and certainly it was not a normal phenomenon.D．The heat has caused extreme stress and terrifying harm to people’s life.10. What is most likely the author’s attitude toward the heat in Texas?A．concerned B．hopeful C．desperate D．indifferent 11. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A．Painting buildings white helps solve the problem of heat by reflecting heat.B．It is necessary to improve infrastructure for the sake of generations to come.C．The government is willing to take whatever it costs to deal with heat.D．Jesse thinks the government needs to place more emphasis on infrastructure.While some observers worry about potential dangers in AI, others are focusing on the potential rewards and believe that AI can advance science and lead to a golden age of discovery.Such claims are worth examining. The mechanism by which AI will supposedly solve the world’s problems has a strong historical basis because there have been periods when new approaches and new tools did indeed help bring about world-changing scientific innovation. In the 1700s microscopes and telescopes opened up new vision of discovery and scientific journals helped share and publicise researchers’ findings. In the late 1900s, research laboratories that brought together ideas, people and materials on an industrial scale, gave rise to further innovations, such as the transistor. From the 1950s, computers made the design of weapons and aircraft and weather forecasting a reality. Today AI is being employed in new ways such as identifying new antibiotics (抗生素) and spotting regional accents in wolves.All this is to be welcomed. But the journal and the laboratory went further: they altered scientific practice and unlocked more powerful means of making discoveries, by allowing people and ideas to mix in new ways on a larger scale. AI, too, has the potential to set off such a transformation.Two areas in particular look promising. The first is “literature-based discovery” (LBD), which involves analysing existing scientific literature, using ChatGPT-style language analysis, to look for new hypotheses (猜想), connections or ideas that humans may have missed. LBD is showing promise in identifying new experiments to try. This could stimulate interdisciplinary work and foster innovation.The second area is “robot scientists”, also known as “self-driving labs”. These are robotic systems that use AI to form new hypotheses, based on existing data and literature, and then test those hypotheses by performing countless experiments. Unlike human scientists, robots are less attached to previous results, less driven by bias—and, crucially, easy to replicate. They could scale up experimental research, develop unexpected theories and explore avenues that researchers might not have considered.12. What is the second paragraph mainly about?A．The reason why AI is likely to revolutionize science.B．The wide spread of technology in today’s world.C．The development of technology throughout the history.D．The importance of AI in scientific revolution.13. According to the passage, how can AI start a revolution in science?A．By analyzing existing data and literature. B．By forming new hypotheses.C．By developing unexpected theories. D．By combining people and ideas.14. What is the advantage of AI over human scientists?A．AI can perform hundreds of thousands of experiments.B．AI is more likely to make new discoveries.C．AI is more independent and is easy to replicate.D．AI takes many more methods into consideration.15. Which of the following is the title for the passage?A．How Artificial Intelligence can revolutionize scienceB．What technology has brought to our modern societyC．Whether it is possible for Artificial Intelligence to change scienceD．Why unexpected innovations result from new technologyAnxiety is often viewed as a negative feeling but this emotion can be used to help us manage uncertainty, stay safe and prepared.A growing number of psychologists and neuroscientists are arguing that anxiety and other negative feelings have a role to play in our lives. Psychologist Todd Kashdan, director of the Well-Being Lab at George Mason University, points out that sometimes it’s right to worry. 16Anxiety is an adaptive strategy in human evolution. 17 Anxiety prompts us to seek solutions to unknowns by planning, imagining and plotting out possible scenarios. From an evolutionary point of view, anxiety is the best emotion to help us manage uncertainty because it forces us to run those‘what-if’ simulations.18 But if we simply approach anxiety as something to avoid, we not only don’t solve the problem it’s warning us to, but actually miss an opportunity to employ the positiv e power of anxiety. When we’re in an anxious state, the amount of dopamine in our brains increases, which prompts us to take action. In evolutionary terms, millions of years ago that might have meant looking for shelter to avoid predatory animals. 19Interestingly enough, thanks to the emotion we do not miss an opportunity to get things prepared. 20 For example: hiding unopened envelopes from the HMRC in a drawer—even if they could be just the routine updates that some self-employed people receive—could result in missing a changed deadline.Last night was the last game for my eight-year-old son’s soccer team. It was the final ________. The score was two to one, my son’s team ________.With less than ten seconds ________, the ball rolled in front of my son’s teammate, one MikeyO’Donnel.

The green-fingered expert ends his journey on the island of Lopud, near Dubrovnik.1．If you are interested in rock music, which channel will you choose to watch the program?A．C5.B．Film 4.C．BBC 4.D．BBC 2.2．What kind of movie is The Girl In The Spider’s Web?A．A thriller.B．A documentary.C．A romantic film D．An action movie.3．In which column of a newspaper can the passage be found?A．Culture.B．Fashion.C．Science.D．Entertainment.“It’s incredible. I never thought my dream would come true so soon,” Chinese ballet dancer Chun Wai Chan recalled the scene when he got the news in May that he was promoted to the principal dancer with New York City Ballet (NYCB), the company’s first Chinese and fourth Asian principal dancer in 74 years.Born in Huizhou City, South China’s Guangdong Province in 1992, Chan has become attached to dance since childhood. However, his parents preferred him to be a doctor or a lawyer in the future. The uncompromising boy then wrote a seven-page letter to his parents describing his determination to study dance.Thanks to the sincere letter, Chan finally gained the support of his family, and at the age of 12, he was admitted to Guangzhou Arts School, marking the start of his dream-seeking journey. Chan’s first turning point in life came at the age of 18, when he was a finalist in the 2010 Prix de Lausanne, which earned him a full scholarship to study with Houston Ballet’s second company, Houston Ballet II. Two years later, Chan joined Houston Ballet and became a principal in 2017. There, he gained a reputation as a confident and sensitive performer. In 2020, he appeared as a contestant on the Chinese television show Dance Smash on Hunan Satellite TV, which gained him a large following.Chan returned to New York last year, and was finally promoted to the principal dancer with the NYCB in May this year. He attributes his success to his passion, hard work, concentration, perseverance and the pursuit of excellence.In China, Chan’s success has become a source of pride. News of his promotion to principal dancer was widely circulated, and he has been featured repeatedly in the Chinese media, under headlines like “The Ballet Knight” and “After Dance Smash, he conquered New York.”After performances, audience members sometimes tell Chan that they have never seen Asian dancers in leading roles. He has been moved to hear young dancers of color say his example has given them hope for their own careers. “I used to think I danced just for myself,”he said. “Now I’m dancing for my family, for the audience, for the whole dance community.”4．What can we learn about Chan?A．He is the first Asian principal dancer.B．He is fond of dancing when he was young.C．His parents have supported him from the beginning.D．He gained the popularity in the 2010 Prix de Lausanne.5．What does the underlined word “uncompromising” in paragraph 2 mean?A．Fearless.B．Cautious.C．Thoughtful.D．Determined. 6．Which of the following can best describe Chan?A．Generous and considerate.B．Passionate and devoted.C．Warm-hearted and ambitious.D．Perseverant and talented7．Chan changed his opinion about the significance of dancing because ________.A．he got a lot of praises from the audience B．he had been promoted to principal dancer C．he realized his dance inspired other dancers D．he received persistent support from his familyA lot of businesses are started by people who have hobbies or special talents and want to turn these interests into a business. But switching from a hobby to a real business requires business know-how and investments, which stops many people. However, an increasing number of ambitious business owners have found a way to take a first step. They are taking their dreams and talents on the road—in vans and lorries, and even horse trucks.Beginning on a small scale has its advantages, the most important of which is the relatively modest size of start-up costs. These costs, which consist primarily of, the vehicle and any required equipment, usually come to about only £5,000-£10,000. With such tightly controlled costs, mobile businesses often break even in a year or two; in contrast, success comes to brick-and-mortar businesses much more slowly, and they often fail within the first two years. In short, mobile businesses are relatively low-risk.The first entrepreneurs (企业家) to do this have been in the food business. The mobile food vendor trend in the US and Europe has spread to other parts of the globe. The success of these street food vans has inspired other entrepreneurs to consider starting out on wheels.UK entrepreneurs could take inspiration from the US where, today, there are vehicles that sell flowers, shoes, clothes and all kinds of specialty food items. There are also mobilebusinesses that provide services, such as hair styling, pet grooming and repair of high-tech devices. Mobile retail is not without problems, however. Weather, the increasing price of fuel, and just finding a place to set up are all challenges that mobile entrepreneurs have to deal with. These business owners, however, feel the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. In the US, the mobile food business alone generates an average annual revenue of $857 million.Once convinced that their business has achieved enough success, some successful mobile entrepreneurs move on to a brick-and-mortar business. Others are satisfied to stay mobile. As stand-alone businesses or as extensions of shops, mobile retail has huge future potential in these economic times.8．What’s the major cause for the rise of mobile business?A．High profit.B．Strong interest.C．Low investment.D．Convenient transport.9．How does the author prove the advantages of the mobile business in paragraph 2?A．By quoting a famous saying.B．By giving an exampleC．By providing an explanation.D．By making a comparison.10．Which of the following will make it harder for the owners to run the business?A．The vehicle care.B．The business permit.C．The terrible storm.D．The insufficient supply.11．What’s the author’s attitude towards the future of mobile business?A．Negative.B．Positive.C．Unconcerned.D．Neutral.On holiday, many will find themselves in places where they do not speak the language. Once upon a time, they might have carried a phrasebook. The rise of English has made that less necessary. But most people still do not speak English. That leaves options like gestures, or, increasingly, technology.Google Translate may be the best-known name in machine translation, but it often goes wrong. Take “my wife is gluten-free,” the kind of thing you might say at a restaurant abroad. In French or Italian, Google Translate interprets this as “my wife is without gluten (谷蛋白)” — true to the words rather than the meaning.The best tool may not be a translation app at all. ChatGPT, an AI system that generates articles according to users’ instructions, is multilingual. Users can tell ChatGPT to “write a message in Spanish to a waiter that my wife and I would like the tasting menu, but that she isgluten-free, so we would like substitutions for anything that has gluten.” And out pops a perfect paragraph, including the way Spanish-speakers actually say “my wife is gluten-free”: mi esposa es celiaca. It is more like having a native-speaking dinner companion.Travel has long been a motivator for study — unless people start to feel AI tools offer a good-enough service. Some are concerned that apps are turning language learning into a decreasing pursuit. Douglas Hofstadter, a polyglot and polymath writer, has argued that something profound will disappear when people talk through machines. He describes giving a difficult speech in Mandarin, which required a lot of work but offered a sense of accomplishment at the end. Who would boast of taking a helicopter to the top of Mount Everest?Others are less worried. Most people do not move abroad or have lasting contact with a foreign culture that requires them to put in the work to become fluent. Nor do most people learn languages for the purpose of humanising themselves or training their brains. On their holiday, they just want a beer and the spaghetti carbonara without incident (and sometimes without gluten).12．According to the passage, what is the advantage of ChatGPT?A．It can meet users’ specific requirements.B．It can generate a perfect paragraph in a short time.C．It can translate sentences word by word correctly.D．It can provide service and companion in the restaurant.13．What is Douglas Hofstadter’s purpose of mentioning a helicopter?A．To stress the difficulty in giving a speech.B．To show an interesting scene of a helicopter.C．To introduce a way to reach the top of Mount Everest.D．To highlight a sense of achievement of language learning.14．The tone of the passage can be best described as ________.A．humorous B．serious C．casual D．indifferent 15．What’s the best title for the passage?A．AI tools — deepening communication among people.B．AI tools — improving people’s life in foreign countries.C．AI tools — making travelling easier and more convenient.D．AI tools — lessening the necessity of learning foreign languages.二、七选五Most college students hope to achieve “academic success”. Of course, they know aboutHere are three specific strategies that Juan Rodriguez discovered in a particularly difficult calculus class.17 He had read that students who sit in the front pay more attention and are more engaged. In addition, professors are more likely to notice the students who this behavior is that it required almost no effort.Another strategy was previewing the information that the instructor was going to introduce. Juan would go over the new material the day before the lecture and come to the class with an idea of that day’s lecture topic. 18 In addition, by previewing the information, Juan was able to write down questions to ask the teacher in class.Finally, Juan found a classmate who was already good at calculus. By asking for his help, Juan received different explanations from those of his instructor. He soon understood difficult terms and worked out some problems on his own. 19While many college students work hard to achieve academic success, not everyone knows what it takes to reach this goal. 20 If a student makes these adjustments to his or her academic habits, as Juan did, he or she will likely be more successful.A．However, there are other strategies that can help.B．Students can learn and use these three simple habits.C．Talking with classmates was the final strategy Juan found.D．Choosing to sit in the front of the class was one of Juan’s strategies.E．He was more comfortable with the information because it was not new to him.F．Having an “expert” friend greatly improved his chances of success in the course.G．Juan took the first step toward improving his performance by sitting in the front of the classroom.三、完形填空We all remember our first days of high-school, college, our first job. We all rememberpositions, the feeling that we were unqualified for what we were doing, that we didn’t 22 .What if my coworkers don’t like me? What if I mess everything up? These are the 23 that run through your mind during those first few days as you tiptoe your way around the workplace, being 24 that you don’t do anything that will get you noticed, with the 25 that when they notice you, you will mess up. But eventually you do get noticed, and you don’t mess up, and soon you develop a 26 .It has only been a week and you have already fallen into a rhythm. You walk into your workplace and 27 to the receptionist who now knows you by name, you get you morning coffee and 28 a conversation with a coworker who you’ve quickly developed a friendship with. Whereas before you looked around 29 for the sugar and cream, now the location is familiar and you 30 it immediately. You walk to your desk, take a sip of coffee, and look over your daily 31 that has become all too familiar to you.You notice a new task that you haven’t encountered before, but you no longer feel 32 and fear of messing it up.

一、阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）ABefore traveling around the world, take some time and find out what sightseeing destinations are. Some of those spots that most guides mention are the following thrilling attractions.Victoria FallsVictoria Falls has always been considered to be an incredible place worth taking pictures of. There are a lot of spots that tourists love. Some of them are very dangerous for people. Yet the brave are ready to overcome their fear for a shot of lifetime.Arctic Cliff FaceA cliff does not make the most comfortable place for camping. Camping on the ground is far safer anyway. Despite all the inconvenience, the new trend is rapidly gaining popularity among climbing enthusiasts and outdoor addicts.Auckland’s Sky TowerAuckland’s Sky Tower is popular with bungee jumpers. Some celebrities, such as Beyonce, have already tried it, which proves that the place is not only safe but popular as well. The tower is 630 feet tall. At the top of the structure there is an observation deck. Trust us, most of those reading this article would prefer to stay on the ground rather than climb up this scary structure.North Yungas RoadThe Road of Death is the right name given to a road in Bolivia. Hundreds of people die here every year. The major cause of all those accidents is the road. The problem is that it is too narrow and badly maintained while here the traffic is heavier than anywhere else. Nevertheless, it seems like tourists will continue visiting this strange road despite its scary nickname.1. What is Victoria Falls famous for?A. Its narrow and badly maintained roadB. Its dangerous but attractive spots for taking picturesC. Its scary structureD. Its thrilling camping2. North Yungas Road is called “the Road of Death” because ________. .A. the traffic is the heaviestB. it is built on the edge of the rockC. each year many people lose their lives thereD. there is no necessary protection equipment3. If you like bungee jumping, you can go to ________. .A. Victoria FallsB. Arctic Cliff FaceC. Auckland’s Sky TowerD. North Yungas Road4. What do the four places have in common?A. They are a bit life-threatening.B. They all have beautiful scenery.C. They are popular with climbers.D. They have been visited by celebrities.BHow do young children learn to have good values? How can parents teach their children about the importance of kindness and patience? At a time more and more parents worry about the violent images (暴力形象) their children see on TV and on the Internet. So many parents are turning to fairy tales. They want to teach their children how to behave in society by this way.It is believed that fairy tales have a great influence on children because they describe the two sides of good and evil (邪恶) very clearly. When children hear the tales, they learn to care about others’ feelings. In each tale, they can see that there are many different kinds of people in the world and that we all have a choice about what kind of person we want to be. We can choose to do good actions, rather than bad ones, in our lives.What kind of values can children learn from fairy tales? In The Princess and the Pea (《豌豆公主》), a poorly dressed girl says she is a princess. Few people believe her, so she is given a difficult test. When she passes the test, we learn that her dream comes true because she stays true to herself. In the Little Mermaid (《小美人鱼》), the mermaid, who lives under the sea, wishes to be with the humans on land. Through her experiences, we learn about the importance of living with and accepting other cultures.Teaching values is probably the main reason for encouraging children to read fairy tales. These tales can teach children lessons about human relationships that have been accepted around the world for many centuries. This might be the reason why they have been around for so long and will not disappear any time soon.5. Why do fairy tales have a great influence on children?A. Because fairy tales can teach them how to make a choice.B. Because fairy tales can help them get higher scores at school.C. Because they can learn how to avoid most difficulties in their lives.D. Because good and evil are shown in a way they can easily understand.6.The Little Mermaid may be helpful when children ________.A. are given a difficult testB. make friends with foreignersC. wish to be a princess or princeD. are going to lie to their parents7.The author writes the text mainly to ________.A. introduce some fairy talesB. talk about the history of fairy tales.C. discuss how to improve human relationshipsD. show how fairy tales help children shape valuesCMetro Pocket GuideMetrorail (地铁)Each passenger needs a farecard to enter and go out.

Trying to help injured, displaced or sick creatures can be heartbreaking; survival is never certain. However, when it works, it is simply beautiful.I got a rescue call from a woman in Muttontown. She had found a young owl(猫头鹰) on the ground. When I arrived, I saw a 2-to 3-week-old owl. It had already been placed in a carrier for safety.I examined the chick(雏鸟) and it seemed fine. If I could locate the nest, I might have been able to put it back, but no luck. My next work was to construct a nest and anchor(固定) it in a tree.The homeowner was very helpful. A wire basket was found. I put some pine branches into the basket to make this nest safe and comfortable. I placed the chick in the nest, and it quickly calmed down.Now all that was needed were the parents, but they were absent. I gave the homeowner a recording of the hunger screams of owl chicks. These advertise the presence of chicks to adults; they might also encourage our chick to start calling as well. I gave the owner as much information as possible and headed home to see what news the night might bring.A nervous night to be sure,but sometimes the spirits of nature smile on us all! The homeowner called to say that the parents had responded to the recordings. I drove over and saw the chick in the nest looking healthy and active. And it was accompanied in the nest by the greatest sight of all —LUNCH! The parents had done their duty and would probably continue to do so.12.What is unavoidable in the author’s rescue work according to paragraph 1？A. Getting injured in his work.B. Efforts made in vain.C. Creatures forced out of their homes.D. Feeling uncertain about his future.13. Why was the author called to Muttontown？A.To look at a baby owl.B. To cure a young owl.C. To rescue a woman.D. To take care of a woman.14. What made the chick calm down？A. Its parents.B. A recording.C.Some food.D. A new nest.15. How would the author feel about the outcome of the event？A.It’s unexpected.B. It’s humorous.C. It’s beautiful.D. It’s discouraging二、阅读七选五（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

While express mail(快递) is a fast way to send your letters, there is another type of mail appearing in China as a new business—future mail.―The letter should be sent next Mother‘s Day and not a day earlier!‖ Lin Xiaofan, a college student in Shanghai, tells one of the companies offering the service. Lin Xiaofan wrote the letter to her mother nearly a year earlier to express her love to her mother for next Mother‘s Day.―Offering this service makes people slow down and lets them understand the meaning of ‗time‘ in another way,‖ said Zheng Zhimin, manager at a ―future mail‖ company. Zheng thinks―future mail‖ letters help remind us of care, friendship and love.While ―future mail‖ is becoming more and more popular, some people are wondering what will happen if the postal address changes or if the company goes broken before the letters arrive.Zheng said customers are glad to sign a contract(签订合同) to make sure that they can be compensated if their letters are lost or damaged.Most of the customers are college students and young white-collar(白领) workers. Psychologists (心理学家) said that young Chinese might have a new way to express their feelings through this service. Most people put their hopes and wishes in the letter so that they can experience the connection(联系) between the past and the present when they receive the letter.36. ―Future mail‖ is a/an ______ way to send your letter.A. fastB. oldC. newD. cheap37.The underlined word ―compensate‖ means ______ in Chinese.A．赔偿 B.完成 C. 送达 D.抛弃38.The ―future mail‖ service is popular among ______.A. junior studentsB. college studentsC. young childrenD. blue-collar workers39.The ―future mail‖ service can help us ______.A. sign a contractB. express our love and careC. forget friendshipD. understand the meaning of ―time‖ ina wrong way40.You′d better use ―future mail‖ if you want to ______.A. save money from sending express mailB. send a birthday gift to your friend quicklyC. talk with your friends about your life freelyD. send a your best wishes to yourself on January 1, 2020 三．根据情景内容，补全对话（每空只填一词，满分１0分）41—May I take your __________?—Yes, I‘d like a steak.42. ---I‘m sorry to keep you waiting for a long time.--- It ______________ ____________.43.--- Have a happy Spring Festival!--- The ___________ ___________ you.44. ---Help______ _______ some more chicken.----No,______.

It allows machines to learn from experience, make decisions and solve problems like humans. Today you can find a lot of AI examples in our everyday life. You use AI facial recognition to unlock your phone. Self-driving cars use it to drive. Shopping apps use it to provide you with information according to your interest. Perhaps the best example is the smart assistant on your phone, which can support you when you make voice calls, add events to the calendar, and send messages. All in all, AI is everywhere.In recent years, China has a rapid development in AI. To prepare students well for the future, Zhejiang Province plans to make students in primary and middle schools learn AI.Last year,Zhejiang Province started “AI + education” pilot project in schools. Wenzhou is one of the cities that have carried out the project. The city plans to have nearly 760 schools for AIeducation by the end of this year, hoping to bring AI to every classroom.It’s easy to open the AI course among primary and middle schools, because information technology is already a subject tested in Gaokao in Zhejiang. The new AI course is expected to build a strong AI talent pool for universities and colleges in the future. However, AI-based education is still faced with a lot of challenges. One of the biggest challenges is that there are not enough top teachers.( ) 36. What can AI help machines do?A. Find a lot of examplesB. Copy and act like humans.C. Do everything for humans.D.

It’s bad form to move unoccupied chairs. Just scout around for an empty spot.*Don’t reach down to pick up beads and other throws. In the excitement, you could end up with your hand stamped or worse.

Make it your “Number I” priority.If you’re thinking about planning a future trip around the festivities,get an early start. Don’t wait until January to plan your visit. Things book up fast, starting as early as August: you’re leaving it more to luck the longer you wait.

And somehow, I ended up here on Hollywood’s biggest stage.” Ke Huy Quan said after winning an Academy Award for best actor in a supporting role for his portrayal(演绎) of the unfortunate yet heroic Waymond Wang.“They say stories like this only happen in the movies. I cannot believe it’s happening to me. This is the American dream.” But Quan has acknowledged the difficulties in his journey, too, and how he almost gave up his dreams when opportunities dried up.Quan was born in Saigon and came to Los Angeles in 1979 after fleeing Vietnam and living in Hong Kong as a refugee after the war ended. He began his Hollywood career as a beloved child actor in “Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom” and “The Goonies.” He kept on auditioning(试镜) after that, but his phone stopped ringing.Quan reimagined his career path, going on to study film at the University of Southern California and to work behind the scenes as a stunt coordinator(武术指导) and assistant director. He wouldn’t have another film role for nearly 20 years.Seeing the Asian ca st of the 2018 movie “Crazy Rich Asians” made him realize how much he missed acting. And as soon as he came across the “Everything Everywhere” script, he knew he was the right person to play Waymond.His big-screen comeback has earned him good reviews and numerous accolades, including Golden Globe, Critics Choice and SAG awards for best supporting actor. And Quan, 51, says these days he’s feeling more optimistic about the Hollywood prospects for him and other Asian actors.1. What can be inferred from Quan’s words in Paragraph 2?A．He gave up his American dreams.B．He loved watching movies very much.C．It’s difficult for him to read stories in America.D．It’s hard for him to win an Academy Award for best actor.2. What does the underlined word “accolades” probably mean in last paragraph?A．Decisions. B．Prizes.C．Comments. D．Opinions.3. What can we learn about Quan from this passage?A．Quan’s career path was flat.B．Quan had a happy childhood.C．Quan hesitated to play Waymond after reading script.D．Quan has a positive attitude to the Hollywood prospects recently.4. According to this passage, which of the following word can best describe Quan?A．Confident. B．Determined.C．Hospitable. D．Selfless.3. As many as 300 million full-time jobs around the world could be automated in some way by the newest wave of artificial intelligence that has made platforms like ChatGPT, according to Goldman Sachs economists.They predicted in a report Sunday that 18% of work globally could be computerized, with the effects caused more deeply in advanced economies than emerging markets. That’s partly because white-collar workers are seen to be more at risk than manual laborers. Administrative workers and lawyers are exp ected to be most affected, the economists said, compared to the “little effect” seen on physically demanding or outdoor occupations, such as construction and repair work.In the United States and Europe, about two-thirds of current jobs “are exposed to so me degree of AI automation,” and up to a quarter of all work could be done by AI completely, the bank estimates.Further use of such Al will likely lead to job losses, the Goldman Sachs economists wrote. But they noted that technological innovation that initially displaces workers has historically also created employment growth in the long run.While workplaces may shift, widespread adoption of Al could ultimately increase labor productivity —and boost global GDP by 7% annually over a 10-year period, according to Goldman Sachs economists.“Although the impact of AI on the labor market is likely to be significant, most jobs and industries are only partially exposed to automation and are thus more likely to be complemented rather than replaced by AI,” the economists added. “Most workers are employed in occupations that are partially exposed to AI automation and, following AI adoption, will likely apply at least some of their freed-up capacity toward productive activities that increase output.”Some US workers expected to be affected, for instance, 25% to 50% of their workload “can be replaced,” the researchers added. “The combination of significant labor cost savings, new job creation, and a productivity boost for non-displaced workers raises the possibility of a labor productivity boom like those that followed the emergence of earlier general-purpose technologies like the electric motor and personal computer.”1. Who are less likely to be affected by AI automation according to Paragraph 2?A．Lawyers. B．Repairmen.C．White-collar workers. D．Administrative workers.2. What can we learn about AI according to Goldman Sachs economists?A．AI has caused huge job losses.B．AI may increase labor productivity.C．AI has replaced most jobs and industries.D．AI may cause little impact on the labor market.3. Why did the researchers mention some US workers in the last paragraph?A．To show the benefits of AI.B．To show using AI wasted a lot of money.C．To show AI had a bad effect on US workers.D．To show some US workers didn’t want to work.4. What’s the best title for the text?A．The Impacts of AI B．The Concept of AIC．The Development of AI D．The Achievements of AI4. When you can’t fit your entire workout into a busy day, do you think there’s no point in doing anything at all? You should rethink that mindset. Just 11 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous intensity aerobic activity per day could lower your risk of cancer, cardiovascular disease(心血管疾病) or premature death, a large new study has found.Aerobic activities include walking, dancing, running, jogging, cycling and swimming. You can estimate the inten sity level of an activity by your heart rate and how hard you’re breathing as you move. Higher levels of physical activity have been associated with lower rates of premature deathand chronic disease, according to past research. But how the risk levels for these outcomes are affected by the amount of exercise someone gets has been more difficult to determine. To explorethis impact, scientists largely from the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom looked at data from 196 studies, amounting to more than 30 million adult participants who were followed for10 years on average.The study mainly focused on participants who had done the minimum recommended amount of 150 minutes of exercise per week, or 22 minutes per day. Compared with inactive participants, adultswho had done 150 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous aerobic physical activity per week had a 31% lower risk of dying from any cause, a 29% lower risk of dying from cardiovascular disease and a 15% lower risk of dying from cancer. The same amount of exercise was linked with a 27% lower risk of developing cardiovascular disease and 12% lower risk when it came to cancer.“This is a convincing systematic review of existing research,” said CNN Medical Analyst Dr. Leana Wen, an emergency physician and public health professor at George Washington University, who wasn’t involved in the research. “We already knew that there was a strong correlation between increased physical activity and reduced risk for cardiovascular disease, cancer and premature death. This research confirms it, and furthermore states that a smaller amount than the 150 minutes of recommended exercise a week can help.”1. Why did the scientists from the University of Cambridge do this research?A．To confirm the past research.B．To encourage people to do more exercise.C．To find out how the amount of exercise impact the risk levels.D．To explore the relationship between daily exercise and risk levels.2. How did the scientists reach their conclusion?A．By conducting genetic research.B．By analyzing data from past research.C．By comparing different groups of participants.D．By collecting a mass of data from science website.3. What can we learn from this study?A．Inactive participants had higher risk of dying from cancer.B．People should take exercise for about 22 minutes every day.C．The scientists suggested people exercise at most 150 minutes per week.D．Moderate-to-vigorous aerobic physical activity was the best exercise for adults.4. What is the Dr. Leana Wen’s attitude towards this research?A．Critical. B．Indifferent.C．Sceptical. D．Positive.5. How do you like your eggs in the morning? Fried, baked or boiled? 1 . Here’s our top pick of breakfast ideas to wake up your taste buds.Add some avocado.The popularity of the humble avocado has increased in recent years. Not only does it pair perfectly with bacon, but research suggests avocado can actually help to speed up your metabolism(新陈代谢). 2 .Try inventive combinations.3 . Take a clue out of Virginia Guzman’s book and try adding olives to ham and cheese to give your sandwich a salty kick. And who says you can’t eat cake for breakfast? Food bloggers May Lee made this healthy breakfast cake by mixing yogurt with apple and oat flour.See your fridge resourcefully.Breakfast can be a meal, or it can be a vehicle for reinventing leftovers into new taste combinations.4 ? Fry it with onion, chili and turmeric for a quick version of uggani, a light but filling rice breakfast popular in the Rayalaseema region of southern India.5 .We’d all love to hop on a plane for breakfast, but in today’s cities chances are that you probably won’t need to adventure too far to taste international flavors. At the same time, bring global classics to your own kitchen is a great choice.6.
