Grammar and Vocabulary Section ADirections: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. Forthe blanks with a given word, fill in each blank wi
18、th the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.Something to Boast aboutAre your information data safe and reliable?In an ideal world such data, however informative and exploratory they are, (21)a scientific study is based on should be, if not publi
19、cly available, then at least available to other researchers. Sadly, this is not always the case.Many scientists are still quite unwilling to have their data revealed though attitudes are changing. This attitude, (22) selfish, is understandable.But sometimes it can cover a darker secret. The statisti
20、cs presented in a paper may have been controlled to achieve a desired result. The author may, in other words, have cheated. If he releases the data, that cheating will be obvious.Now Sean Wilner and his colleagues (23) (come) up with a way of reconstructing all the possible data sets that could have
21、 given rise to that result, which includes (24) (release) the data. And they call the way CORVIDS (Complete Recovery of Values in Diophantine Systems).(25) (simplify) the task of spotting abnormal data, CORVIDS turns the possible data sets into a three-dimensional (三维的) chart. This makes any unusual
22、 patterns apparent. For example, every (26) (reconstruct) data set may be missing values at one end of the scale. That might make sense occasionally. Generally, though, such a gap would be a red flag. It would suggest either that the statistics were reported incorrectly or (27) there were problems w
23、ith the fundamental data.CORVIDS is likely to be (28) immediate value to editors and reviewers at academic journals, who will be able to spot problems with papers early, and so discuss them with the authors. If an unresolvable problem (29) show up, then the technique can be applied to previous work
24、by the author in question, to see if anything systematic is going on.But its speed makes it a useful first step. If the data sets (30) finds do not show any strange patterns, CORVIDS is unlikely to show oddness, either.Anyway, the trustworthiness of scientific papers will take a step up with CORVIDS

26、r Meaning behind Souvenirs“Nobody sits us down and tells us to collect objects when were young,” writes Rolf Potts, “its just something we do, as a way to 31ourselves with the world, its possibilities, and our place in it.”Few of us would call ourselves collectors, but most travelers 32a seashell fr
27、om a vacation, or bring a keychain. As Mr. Potts notes in a book called “Souvenir,” there is more to this 33simple practice than meets the eye. For onething, it can date back to the oldest described journeys, so its a 34 practice that goes back thousands of years. And academic researchers have class
28、ified souvenirs - even 35 items like “I Love New York” T-shirts and plastic miniatures of Michelangelos David - into various categories, likely unknown to many travelers.Which categories do the things weve bought or found in our travels fall into? Further, whats 36 behind our need to bring home souv
29、enirs?Over time, intellectual curiosity became the driving 37 for personal travel. Yet even as travelers began collecting historical and scientific souvenirs, not just religious items, the things they brought home stood for feelings for holy objects.Scholars 38 these souvenirs into different buckets
30、, including “markers” (location branded items like T-shirts and teacups), “pictorial images” (postcards and posters), and “ 39 landmarks” (for example, Statue of Liberty key chains), with the latter two categories symbolizing, though not exclusive to, mass tourism.In the end, “Souvenir” suggests tha
31、t its meaning is not fixed because its importance to the owner can change over time and that its significance is closely related to the travelers identity. Mr. Potts himself has had plenty of souvenirs, things that remind him not merely of the places hes been and the extraordinary 40 between him and
32、 local people, but of former life phases. “When we collect souvenirs,” he writes, “we do so not to evaluate the world, but to tell the self.”III. Reading Comprehension Section ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blan
33、k with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Researchers have found that urban heat island effect made worse by sunbaked roads can be relieved by a simple measure: Paint the streets gray.A study by Arizona State University found that 41a reflective, gray-colored material to black asphalt（柏油）
34、resulted in a 10.5-to-12-degree Fahrenheit drop in average road surface temperatures. Meanwhile, sunrise temperatures 42 an average 2.4-degree drop.“This is exactly what we were hoping for,” Phoenix Mayor Kate Gallego said. “Its exciting to see a technology that has the potential to meet the demands
35、 of a growing desert city in a world where temperatures are 43 rising.”Experts say road temperatures in the Phoenix area can rise to 180 degrees on a hot day. That 44 energy remains in paved surfaces for hours, radiating heat back into nighttime air. Higher overnight temperatures result in warmer mo
36、rnings, creating a 45 of urban heat island effect.Researchers found as well that the greatest temperature 46 was near the road surface, with less dramatic results 6 feet above the ground. Even so, the neighborhoods with streets reflecting light experienced air temperatures 0.3-to-0.5 degree cooler c
37、ompared with neighborhoods with 47 roads.But reflective pavements dont affect all surfaces the same way. Researchers said that “the most meaningful measurement” was of radiant temperatures, a measure of how the body 48 heat. Those measurements showed that the“human experience of heat 49 at noon and
38、the afternoon hours was higher due to surface reflectivity.” Its been noted that the increase in 50 temperatures “may be a necessary trade-off（妥协）to reduce surface temperatures using a reflective surface.”Heather Murphy, a spokesperson for the Transportation Department, said the response has been 51
39、 from drivers and residents in neighborhoods where the material is applied. “We have had some people who dont like the look of it, but generally the response has been very 52 ”.Still, officials cautioned that reflective pavement is not a remedy for the urban heat island effect.“If youre standing ove
40、r these surfaces on a hot day, 53 , youre still going to be hot if youre not in the shade,” said Jennifer Vanos, an assistant professor at Arizona State University. “So if we really want to 54 true solutions, its not going to be just painting all the streets gray.”A second phase of the study will ex

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passa
45、ge you have just read.(A)All Miss Price had been told about the new boy was that hed spent most of his life in some kind of orphanage, and that the gray-haired “aunt and uncle” with whom he now lived were really foster parents (养父母), paid by the WelfareDepartment of the City of New York. A less devo
46、ted teacher might have pressed for more details, but Miss Price was content with the rough outline. It was enough to fill her with a sense of mission that shone from her eyes, from the first morning he joined the fourth grade.He arrived early and sat in the back row, his backbone very straight, his
47、ankles crossed precisely under the desk and his hands folded on the center of its top, and while the other children were filling in, he received a long, expressionless stare from each of them.“We have a new classmate this morning,” Miss Price said, “His name is Vincent Sabella, and he comes from New
48、 York City. I know well all do our best to make him feel at home.”This time they all swung around to stare at once, which caused him to duck his head slightly and shift his weight from one side to the other. Ordinarily, the fact of someones coming from New York might have held a certain status, for
49、to most of the children the city was a frightening, adult place that swallowed up their fathers every day. But anyone could see at a glance that Vincent Sabella had nothing to do with it. Even if you could ignore his twisted black hair and gray skin, his clothes would have given him away: ridiculous
50、ly new pants, ridiculously old sports shoes and a yellow sweatshirt, much too small, with the faded remains of a Mickey Mouse design stamped on its chest.The girls decided that he wasnt very nice and turned away, but the boys remained in their inspection, looking him up and down with faint smiles. T
51、his was the kind of kid they were accustomed to thinking of as “tough,” the kind whose stare has made all of them uncomfortable at one time or another in unfamiliar neighborhoods; here was a unique chance for revenge.56. What can you learn about Miss Price and Vincent from the first two paragraphs?A
52、. Since nobody had ever seen Vincents parents, he now lived all by himself.B. Miss Price knew Vincent so well that shed like to focus every bit of attention on him.C. Miss Price didnt know much about Vincent, but that didnt stop her wanting to care about him.D. Vincent sat in the back row so as not
53、to arouse any unnecessary attention caused by his late arrival.57. Why does the author mention “New York” in the third and the fourth paragraphs?A. To illustrate Vincents distant origin.B. To demonstrate childrens desire to go to see their fathers.C. To emphasize Vincents low social status from his
54、shabby clothes.D. To state a certain distinction between Vincent and peoples imagination.58. Which of the following words can best describe Vincent?A. Devoted but shy.B. Nervous and uneasy.C. Untalkative and tough.D. Sensitive but unfortunate.59. What can you infer from the text about Vincents new c
55、lassmates?A. They were either unconcerned or unfriendly toward him.B. They used to consider people like Vincent to be very tough.C. They barely noticed the new boy sitting in the back of the classroom.D. They were very curious about the newcomer in a kind and considerate manner.(B)HARRY POTTER AND T

Plan Your Visit(C)Fewer than 400 North Atlantic right whales remain in the wild, and not even 100 of them are breeding fe
65、males. Their biggest survival threats are boat strikes and getting caught in fishing gear. Protecting these whales, such as by turning boats from dangerous encounters, requires positioning them more reliably - and new technology, described in the Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, could h
66、elp make that possible.To listen for marine life, researchers often install underwater microphones called hydrophones on buoys (浮标) androbotic gliders (滑翔机). The recorded audio is changed into spectrograms - visual representations of sound used to precisely recognize, for instance, specific whale sp
67、ecies calls. But those distinctive sounds are often drowned out by other noise. In recent years researchers have used a machine-learning technique called deep learning to automate this analysis, but background sounds still block reliability.Now researchers have trained two deep-learning models speci
68、fically to cut through the noise. They started by giving the models thousands of “clean” spectrograms with only North Atlantic right whale calls. Then they slowly added in thousands of spectrograms mixed with typical background sounds, such as tanker engines. The program can successfully turn noisy
69、spectrograms into clean ones, reducing false alarms and helping spot whales before they reach dangerous areas, the scientists say.Shyam Madhusudhana, a Cornell University data engineer, who was not involved in the study, says he would want to see if such models could be used to locate other marine m
70、ammals (哺乳动物), too. “Humpback whales and dolphins have much more complex speech pathways than the right whale,” he notes. And University of East Anglia machine-learning researcher Ben Milner, one of the studys authors, wants to take this technology above water as well - to Ukrainian forests, where h
71、e hopes to identify animals near the site of the 1986 Chernobyl disaster.University of St. Andrews behavioral ecologist Peter Tyack, who was not involved in the study, says this new system should be used to figure out where whales are throughout the year, so that these areas can be protected. “In te
72、rms of estimating the density and the number of these whales in places where its hard to see them,” Peter says, “this technology could be fantastic.”But he warns that it should not be the only approach to preventing ship strikes. In his work, Tyack has found that North Atlantic right whales can be s
73、ilent for hours at a time - so passive sound monitoring could easily miss one. And killing just a few, he adds, “could lead to extinction of the population.”63. What does the new technology do to help protect the North Atlantic right whales?A. Locating the right whales precisely.B. Turning boats to
74、encounter the right whales.C. Guiding the right whales away from fishing boats.D. Positioning fishing boats reliably and thus deadly strikes.64. What is a major contribution of deep-learning models to reducing background noises?A. They turn off the nearby alarms that may create background noises.B.
75、They can eliminate disturbances shown on a spectrogram sheet.C. They add thousands of mixed sounds such as vehicle engines.D. They can prevent whales from reaching dangerous areas.65. It can be learned from the passage that.A. Shyam and Ben are both scientists at different universities who know each
76、 other wellB. all of the three scientists consider the extended use of the technology could face challengesC. Shyam and Ben both hope that the deep learning model can go beyond its current applicationD. Peter thinks the technology should have been used to figure out where its hard to see the whales6
77、6. Which one of the following might be the best title of the passage?A. Latest Techs on Marine LifesavingB. Save the Right Whale by Noise-cuttingC. See Whales Noise through Humans EyesD.

78、ank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A. Type 2 is far more common, accounting for more than 90% of cases worldwide.B. However, urban residents are becoming more willing to exercise, with gyms and yoga c
79、lasses on the rise.C. China has an estimated 116 million diabetics, by far the highest number of any country.D. About 11% of Chinese adults now have the condition, nearly the proportion in America and twice the level in Britain.E. The other type, though more commonly diagnosed, is not relatively dan
80、gerous.F. City inhabitants tend to be less physically active than people in rural areas.As China Puts on Weight, Type-2 Diabetes (糖尿病) Is Rapidly RisingMore than 30 years ago, doctors in the northern city of Daqing began a pioneering long-term study into the prevention of type-2 diabetes, a disease
81、which was then thought to affect about 1% of Chinese. When doctors, academics and officials gathered there this autumn to discuss the conclusions and promote prevention work, they faced a very different reality. 67 Type-2 diabetes is becoming more common globally, but in recent years the rate of the
82、 disease has been growing fastest inChina.Diabetes is a disfunction in the bodys regulation of blood-sugar levels. Type 1 is rare and usually shows up early in life, caused by factors that are not yet well understood. It can kill swiftly unless managed with daily injections of insulin (胰岛素). 68 It t
83、ends to develop in adults, especially if they are overweight or do not exercise much. It can usually be controlled with pills and lifestyle changes, and can sometimes be reversed. Both types, if not well-treated, can cause complications such as organ damage, blindness, strokes and heart attacks. 69
84、Twenty years ago, it had fewer than 25 million. The dramatic increase, almost entirely involving type 2s, worries the government. The study in Daqing showed how lifestyle changes can prevent type 2 among people with damaged glucose tolerance (糖耐量), which is sometimes a start of the condition. The co
85、untrys health-care system is trying to ensure symptoms are detected, and help people with them.A big reason for the increase is that as people get richer, they often consume more processed foods and sugary drinks. One in seven Chinese adults is overfat, including a quarter of adults in Beijing, Chin
86、as fattest city. The urban proportion of the population has grown from less than 20% to about 60% since 1980. 70 There may be a genetic link, too. Research finds that ethnic-Han Chinese are acquiring type 2 diabetes while younger and thinner than Caucasians. Smoking is another factor. China has one-
87、fifth of the worlds population but consumes one-third of its cigarettes, and most of the daily smokers are men.IV. Summary WritingDirections: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.71.Is
88、 Student-loan Forgiveness Unforgivable?Roughly 45 million Americans currently hold $1.6 trillion in student debt, with the average student-loan receiver owing between $20,000 and $25,000, according to the Federal Reserve. Among those actively making payments on their debt, the average monthly instal
89、lment is between $200 and $300. And with 5.3 million more people unemployed than in February, right before the U.S. fell into the economic depression caused by pandemic (流行病), some people say that student-debt forgiveness could be beneficial to the economy.“Student-debt cancellation feels like one o
90、f the most accessible executive actions to stimulate the economy at the moment,” says Suzanne Kahn, director of the Education. Kahn says the move would also help close the wealth gap between white Americans and people of color. Some 90% of Black students and 72% of Latino students take out loans for
91、 college versus just 66% of white students, according to an analysis from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.But others argue that sweeping student-loan forgiveness doesnt help the people who need aid most. Americans with college degrees, as a whole, have been less influenced by the economic e
92、ffects of COVID-19 than their non-college-educated counterparts. Besides, they raise concerns that if the government wipes out current student loans, future college students may have a motivator to take on debts, hoping they will also be forgiven. Colleges may in turn tend to raise their prices furt
93、her.Whats clear, according to the both sides of the aisle (过道), is that economic crises worsen the problem of student debt. The last time the U.S. dipped into a recession, state governments cut their investments in colleges and universitieswhich, in turn, raised their tuition prices and forced stude
94、nts to take on ever larger loans.In recent weeks, the government has walked a fine line on the issue, offering support for a bill calling for $10,000 worth of student-loan forgiveness but turning down anything close to a plan to issue $50,000 per borrower through executive action.Thats not sustainab

114、our paper and decide which one would be the best answer to the question you have heard.Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage.Searching for secondhand goods is no longer regarded as a shameful thing. Nowadays, many people in Shanghai enjoy the fun of wandering about the city in t
115、heir spare time to hunt for something valuable. Looking for used goods has become a fashion.In the past, craftsmen were serious about making furniture. Since they were not keen on seeking wealth, they could settle down to make real artistic works. No wonder people nowadays love their products. Insid
116、ers estimate that there are at least 50 to 60 stores in Shanghai that sell used goods.

118、ide, but once you walk in, you will find that it is full of old things with a strong atmosphere relating to the past.(Now listen again, please.)Questions:11. What is the passage mainly about?12. What can be learned about the craftsmen in the past?13. What might be a reason why people hunt for second
119、hand goods?Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage.Researchers have found that students who tutor others work harder to understand the material, recall it more accurately and apply it more effectively. Student teachers score higher on tests than pupils who are learning only for th
120、eirown sake. But how can children, still learning themselves, teach others? One answer is that they can tutor younger kids.Now educators are experimenting with a new way to apply this model to academic subjects. The cutting-edge tool under development is the “teachable agent” a computerized characte
121、r who learns, tries, makes mistakes and asks questions just like a real-world pupil. Computer scientists have created an animated figure called Bettys Brain, who has been “taught” about environmental science by hundreds of middle school students. Student teachers are motivated to help Betty master c
122、ertain materials. While preparing to teach, they organize their knowledge and improve their own understanding. And as they explain the information to it, they identify problems in their own thinking.Feedback from the teachable agents further enhances the tutors learning. The agents questions oblige
123、student tutors to think and explain the materials in different ways, and watching the agent solve problems allows them to see their knowledge put into action.Above all, its the emotions one experiences in teaching that facilitate learning. Student tutors feel upset when their teachable agents fail,
124、but happy when these virtual pupils succeed as they obtain pride and satisfaction from someone elses accomplishment.(Now listen again, please.)Questions:14. What is the passage mainly about?15. What must student tutors do to teach their teachable agents?16. What is the key factor that eases student
125、tutors learning?Questions 17 through 20 are based on the following conversation.W: How do you feel about the future of the artificial intelligence? Personally, I feel quite optimistic about it.M: AI? Im not so optimistic actually. In fact, its something we should be concerned about.W: Well, it will
126、help us humans understand ourselves better. And when we have a better understanding of ourselves, we can improve the world.M: Well, one thing is for sure, technology is evolving faster than our ability to understand it. And in the future AI will make jobs kind of meaningless.W: I think artificial in
127、telligence will actually help create new kinds of jobs, which would require less of our time and allow us to focus on creative tasks.M: I doubt that very much. Probably the last job that will remain will be writing AI software. And then eventually AI will just write its own software.W: At that time
128、we are going to have a lot of jobs, which nobody will want to do. So we will need artificial intelligence for the robots to take care of the old guys like us.M: I dont know. Theres a risk that human civilization could be replaced by a superior type of digital life. AI will be able tocompletely imita
129、te a person in every way possible. In fact, some people think were in an imitation right now.W: Thats impossible. Humans cant even make a mosquito. Computers only have chips. People have brains. And thats where the wisdom comes from.M: Once its fully developed, AI will become tired of trying to comm
130、unicate with humans as we would be much slower thinkers in comparison.W: Well, Im not so sure. A computer is a computer and a computer is just a toy.M: Computers can easily communicate incredibly fast. So the computer will just get impatient talking to humans, and itll be barely getting any informat
131、ion out.W: Well, I believe theres a bright future with AI. I also think you watch too many science-fiction films.(Now listen again, please.) Questions:17. What can we learn about the speakers from the conversation?18. What will new kinds of jobs be like according to the woman?19. What is the risk the man predicts?20. What is the mans concern about AI technology?（Thats the end of listening. 听力部分到此结束，请同学们继续答题。）
