I hated changing the vacuum cleaner (真空吸尘器) bag and picking up things the machine did not suck up. Twenty years later, in 1978, with this lifelong dislike of the way the machine worked, I de
18、cided to make a bagless one.Easier said than done, of course. I didnt realize that I would spend the next five years perfecting my design, a process that resulted in 5,127 different prototypes (样机). By the time I made my 15th prototype, my third child was born. By 2,627, my wife and I were really co
19、unting our pennies. By 3,727, my wife was giving art lessons for some extra cash, and we were getting further and further into debt. These were tough times, but each failure brought me closer to solving the problem.In the early 1980s, I started trying to get licensing agreements for my technology. T
20、he reality was very different, however. The major vacuum makers had built a business model based on the profits from bags and filters (滤网). No one would license my idea, not because it was a bad one, but because it was bad for business. But soon after, the companies that I had talked with started ma
21、king machines like mine. I had to fight legal battles on both sides of the Atlantic to protect the patents on my vacuum cleaner. I was still in financial difficulties until 1993, when my bank manager personally persuaded Lloyds Bank to lend me $1 million. Then I was able to go into production. Withi

25、uccess.CActions speak louder than words.DA good beginning makes a good ending.CStudent loan (贷款) debt has become a worldwide problem. In America, the countrys overall student debt reached a record of $1.6 trillion in 2019. The average person with student loan debt owed between $20,000 and $25,000. A
26、 recent Japanese government report says it has been lending over $9 billion yearly to students since 2010. Similar conditions exist in Africa and South America.Several factors account for high student loan debt. One is that employers everywhere have increased their demands for skilled workers, makin
27、g higher education a requirement for many jobs. The students, however, after graduation, often find that their countrys economy is not strong enough to support their financial needs, so their ability to pay back the loan becomes a problem.To solve the problem, many countries are seeking their ways.
28、Australia has developed a system where students do not have to pay anything back until they are earning at least $40,000 a year. In America, several candidates running for president in the 2020 election have offered more extreme solutions that all or at least some of these loans will be forgiven.Som
29、e professors in several universities recently studied what the effects of debt forgiveness might be. They found that, overall, sudden debt relief greatly improved the borrowers lives. Not only did they have more money, but they were more likely to move to a new area and seek better paying work.Yet t
30、he professors research doesnt include what might happen to financial institutions or the overall economy if debt were totally forgiven. It only looks at how debt forgiveness would help the borrowers. They warn of some other possible negative effects. If a borrower knew that if he ran into any troubl
31、e he would be saved because he could get the debt relief, then he might actually become more reckless (轻率的) with his borrowing in the future.No matter what, the professors agree that if countries do decide to approve some student debt relief the neediest students should be helped first.28How does th
32、e author introduce the problem of student loan?ABy making a comparison.BBy making classifications.CBy presenting some statistics.DBy setting down general rules.29What can we learn about student loan debt relief?AIt will surely provide some benefits to borrowers.BIt has already been carried out in th

35、 “The Terminator”. However, the game “Tacoma” takes a different approach. It assumes that there will be numerous AGI (artificial general intelligence) in the world and that any AGI, even a safely designed one, in the wrong hands at the wrong time could cause live to be lost. Thats the future that a
36、growing number of AI safety experts are worried about.This is not a new idea. In the book “Engineering a Safer World,” MIT professor Nancy G. Leveson addresses common misunderstandings about safety-critical systems engineering: engineering systems whose failure could lead to human loss. Such safety-
37、critical technologies include aviation, nuclear power, automobiles, heavy chemicals, biotechnology, and, of course, AGI.So what can be done?Technology isnt always the solution. A famous example is the invention of sonic radars (声波雷达) that were supposed to help ships detect nearby obstacles, but whic
38、h only increased the rate of accidents. Why? Captains sailed faster, thinking they could get away with it thanks to the new safety technology.Instead of technologies, Levesons book suggests, we should be making organizational changes. Additionally, Leveson suggests, among many complicated guidelines
39、, organizations should be aware that safety guidelines will inevitably become lax over time. As a consequence, measures should be carried out to prevent potential disasters.What lessons can we draw from concern with AI safety? The answer may lie in recent disaster narratives (叙述), which remind us th
40、at, especially in limes like this, we shouldnt forget the potential for other disasters. Public conscience really does matter. And if were all better at thinking about safety we citizens, maybe we really can prevent disasters.32Why does the author mentioned “The Terminator” in the first paragraph?AT
41、o arouse readers interest in The Terminator.BTo introduce the topic of concern with AI safely.CTo mention the similarity between “The Terminator” and “Tacoma”.DTo make readers recall the evil super intelligence reflected in the movie.33Why did the rate of ship accidents still increase after the inve
42、ntion of sonic radars?ABecause captains seldom used them.BBecause the radars failed to work properly.CBecause captains depended on them too much.DBecause the ships couldnt detect nearby obstacles.34What does the underlined word “lax” in paragraph 5 refer to?ASafe.BImportant.CUnreliable.DUnnecessary.
43、35Which of the following can be the best title for the text?ADisaster prevention Lessons from AI.BSafety problems in modern society.CEngineering development in modern days.DFuture applications of artificial intelligence.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。选项中有两项为多余选项。Music makes yo

62、my ears. I had done it. I had really done it.Just a few months earlier, I would never have pictured myself acting in a play in front of two hundred people.Not for a million dollars, I would have said. But when the time came, I got up on stage and faced one of my greatest fears-and discovered I could
63、 do more than I ever gave myself credit for.

64、 extremely shy. I had friends, but it just wasnt in my personality to be very outgoing, even when I knew someone well.

69、onal Championship to its participants: an event broadcast by Golf Channel.” Notah Begay青少年高尔夫全国锦标赛将为参加者提供一个非凡的机会:由高尔夫频道转播的赛事。由此可知Notah Begay Junior Golf National Championship能在电视上观看。故选A。22细节理解题。根据小标题Thunderbird International Junior中的“However, this year it is scheduled on different dates for the firs
70、t time, from April 9 to 12, ” 然而，今年的比赛第一次安排在不同的日期，从4月9日到12日.由此可知Thunderbird International Junior在4月9日到12日进行。故选B。23细节理解题。根据小标题Gator Invitational中的“Because of that, the Gator Invitational, as a junior boys event, has made a significant decision on becoming a 54-hole event by adding a round this year.”
71、 正因为如此，Gator邀请赛，作为一项初级男孩赛事，做出了一个重大决定，在今年增加一轮比赛，成为一项54-hole赛事，由此可知，Gator Invitational比赛的数量发生了变化。故选D。【答案】24-27 DCAB【解析】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要通过讲述作者发明无袋吸尘器的经历，揭示了“失败为成功之母”的道理。24细节理解题。根据文章第一段末尾句内容“I hated changing the vacuum cleaner (真空吸尘器) bag and picking up things the machine did not suck up. Twenty years later
72、, in 1978, with this lifelong dislike of the way the machine worked, I decided to make a bagless one.”我讨厌换真空吸尘器的袋子，讨厌把吸尘器吸不进去的东西捡起来。二十年后，也就是1978年，我对这台机器的工作方式一直很反感，于是决定做一台无袋的。可知，对于真空吸尘器的反感导致了作者研制一种无袋吸尘器。故选D项。25主旨大意题。通读文章第二段内容，可知其段落结构为总分总结构，首句内容“Easier said than done, of course.”和末尾句内容“These were toug
73、h times, but each failure brought me closer to solving the problem.”点明本段主旨要义，即作者发明无袋吸尘器过程中遇到的一些困难。故选C项。26细节理解题。根据文章第三段内容“The major vacuum makers had built a business model based on the profits from bags and filters. No one would license my idea, not because it was a bad one, but because it was bad f
74、or business”可知，没人会认可作者的想法是因为真空吸尘器的包装袋和过滤器能够给商家带来盈利，而作者发明的无袋吸尘器会使商家失去原有的能够带来盈利的部分，因此商家担心其不能带来盈利反而可能会导致损失。故选A项。27推理判断题。作者在文章末尾点明主旨，揭示道理：Today, I still embrace risk and the potential for failure as part of the process. Nothing beats the excitement of invention.可知，作者的“无袋吸尘器”发明经历使他明白了风险和失败在发明过程中是可能存在的。故选
75、B项。【答案】28-31 CADB【解析】这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了学生债务成全球性问题，各国都在寻求解决方案。28推理判断题。由第一段可知，在美国，2019年全国学生债务总额达到了创纪录的1.6万亿美元。平均每个学生的助学贷款在2万到2.5万美元之间。日本政府最近的一份报告说，自2010年以来，日本每年向学生发放的贷款已经超过90亿美元。非洲和南美洲也存在类似的情况。所以判断出作者通过展示一些统计数据介绍学生贷款的问题。故选C项。29细节理解题。由倒数第三段“They found that, overall, sudden debt relief greatly improved the b
76、orrowers lives. Not only did they have more money, but they were more likely to move to a new area and seek better paying work.”可知，他们发现，总的来说，突然的债务减免极大地改善了借款人的生活。他们不仅有更多的钱，而且更有可能搬到一个新的地区，寻找更高收入的工作。所以债务减免肯定会给借款人带来一些好处。故选A项。30推理判断题。根据第四段中They found that, overall, sudden debt relief greatly improved the
77、 borrowers lives. Not only did they have more money, but they were more likely to move to a new area and seek better paying work.可知，教授们认为免除学生债务是有好处的，这大大改善借款人的生活，他们不仅有更多的钱，而且更有可能搬到一个新的地区，寻找薪水更高的工作。再根据第五段中Yet the professors research doesnt include what might happen to financial institutions or the ove
78、rall economy if debt were totally forgiven. It only looks at how debt forgiveness would help the borrowers. They warn of some other possible negative effects.可知，他们的研究不包括如果完全免除债务，金融机构或整个经济可能会发生什么。它只着眼于债务免除将如何帮助借款人。他们警告说，还有其他一些可能的负面影响。由此判断出，教授们对债务免除的态度是谨慎的。故选D项。31主旨大意题。由第一段“Student loan (贷款) debt has
79、become a worldwide problem.”学生贷款债务已经成为一个世界性的问题。由第三段“To solve the problem, many countries are seeking their ways.”为了解决这个问题，许多国家都在寻找解决方案。所以短文主要是关于不断增长的全球学生债务促使各国寻找解决方案。故选B项。【答案】32-35 BCCA【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了人们对人工智能安全的担忧，作者提出如果公民都能更好地考虑安全问题，也许我们真的可以预防灾难的想法。32推理判断题。根据第一段There was a time when the major c
80、oncern with AI safety had been the one evil super intelligence, reflected in the movie “The Terminator”.可推断，作者提及终结者是为了介绍本文对人工智能安全的担忧的主题。故选B项。33细节理解题。根据第四段Captains sailed faster, thinking they could get away with it thanks to the new safety technology.可见，是因为他们过于依赖新技术使得事故发生更多。故选C项。34词义猜测题。根据第五段As a co
81、nsequence, measures should be carried out to prevent potential disasters.可猜测，随着时间的推移，安全指南也不再安全，所以lax意为“不可靠的”。故选C项。35主旨大意题。根据最后一段What lessons can we draw from concern with AI safety?及全文内容可知，本文主要讲述我们人类在人工智能安全中获得的教训。故选A项。【答案】36-40 DGFAB【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了音乐的一些好处，包括听音乐会使人更有创造力、有助于降低手术前、手术中或手术后的焦虑和疼痛水平、让
82、人更能坚持锻炼以及辅助睡眠等等。36根据后文they come up with more creative solutions, according to researchers. It may be because music improves your brains flexibility. Another reason may be that it relaxes you enough for the creative juices to flow.可知他们会想出更有创意的解决方案。这可能是因为音乐提高了你大脑的灵活性。另一个原因可能是它能让你足够放松，让你的创造性思维得以流动。由此可知
83、，本句是在说明当人们听着快乐的音乐时，他们会更有创造力。故D选项“当人们听着快乐的音乐，而不是静静地坐着”符合上下文语境，故选D。37根据后文After surgery, it helps reduce pain. An analysis of 73 studies confirmed that listening to music before, during or after surgery reduces anxiety and pain levels, which in turn means less pain medication.可知手术后，它有助于减轻疼痛。一项对73项研究的分析
84、证实，在手术前、手术中或手术后听音乐可以降低焦虑和疼痛水平，从而减少止痛药。由此可知，本句是在说明手术前听音乐可以缓解焦虑。故G选项“手术前听音乐已被证明可以缓解焦虑”符合上下文语境，故选G。38根据后文Studies have found that when youre running, biking or walking, youll go farther with music on.
