35、选A。推理判断题。本文为广告类应用文, 主要介绍了几种智能家居产品, 故可推断出文章应该来自科技方面的专栏。 B(2021中山高二检测)Researchers at the University of Chicago have trained an artificial intelligence system, to write fake reviews on Yelp, a website showing customers reviews on shopping or something else, and its pretty hard to tell them apart from a
36、 human review. Their study, which will be presented at the ACM Conference on Computer and Communications Security in October, aimed to throw attention onto how easily these systems can write reviews like humans and how damaging they can become if theyre not monitored properly. Since many small busin
37、esses rely on online reviews to help grow and keep their reputation, a future where someonelike a rival or angry customercould crazily fill their page with negative reviews written by a machine is pretty worrying. And, according to the research team, the threat goes far beyond a bunch of fake review
38、s on Yelp. “In general, the threat is bigger, ” Ben Y. Zhao, one of the authors of the study, said. “I think the threat towards society is large and it really misleads users and shakes our belief in what is real and what is not. I think thats going to be even unimaginable. ”To test how believable th
39、ese reviews came across, the researchers invited 40 volunteers and had AI generate five fake reviews for 40 actual restaurants. The volunteers were asked how useful they thought the review was and whether or not they thought it was fake. The AI reviews ranked as “effectively indistinguishable” from
40、real reviews, according to the study. Further, the fake reviews were given a 3. 15 “usefulness” rating, compared to a 3. 28 rating for human reviews. 【文章大意】这是一篇说明文。芝加哥大学的研究人员已经培训出了一种人工智能(AI) 系统, 在Yelp网站上编写虚假评论, 足以乱真。24. What can the new artificial intelligence system do according to the passage? A.
41、It can help train new reviewers. B. It can tell the real reviews from the fake ones. C. It can write human-like reviews. D. It can easily damage the businesses. 【解析】选C。细节理解题。根据文章第一段可知, 芝加哥大学的研究人员研发了一种人工智能系统, 让它在Yelp网站上撰写虚假评论, 很难把它们与人类的评论区分开。由此可知, 这种新的人工智能系统可以撰写出像人类写的一样的评论。25. What does the underline
42、d word “rival” mean in the passage? A. A person who respects you deeply. B. A person who competes with you. C. A person who loves to give fake reviews. D. A person who can control you from distance. 【解析】选B。词义猜测题。根据文章第三段可知, 由于许多小企业依赖在线评论来帮助成长和保持声誉, 未来有人可能会疯狂地用机器写的负面评论填满它们的页面, 这是相当令人担忧的。由此可知画线单词所在部分li
43、ke a rival or angry customer是someone的同位语, 对其进行解释说明。根据上下文语境以及生活常识可以判断出, 企业面对的是顾客和竞争对手两类人。因此rival可以理解为竞争对手。26. What can we infer from Ben Y. Zhaos remarks? A. Artificial intelligence can put the society in danger. B. The artificial intelligence is only used by the researchers. C. Ben Y. Zhao is optimi
44、stic about the further development of artificial intelligence. D. The artificial intelligence will help people shake. 【解析】选A。推理判断题。根据文章第四段 “总的来说, 威胁更大, ”Ben Y. Zhao, 该研究的作者之一说。“我认为对社会的威胁是巨大的, 它真的误导了用户, 动摇了我们的信任关于什么是真的、什么不是真的。我认为那甚至是不可想象的。”可知他认为AI智能能够误导用户, 影响他们明辨是非, 会对社会带来不可想象的威胁。27. What is the best
45、 title for the passage? A. Suggestions on Giving ReviewsB. How to Tell the Fake ReviewsC. Development of AI in Review on YelpD.

46、此。选项D “AI is Coming to Steal Your Reviews. ”体现了这一中心思想。C(2021绍兴高二检测) An international team of scientists has discovered a stellar black hole in Earths “cosmic backyard” containing the mass of 70 suns. Its a black hole that forms after stars die, collapse, and explode. Researchers had long believed th
47、at the size limit was only 20 times the mass of our sun because as these stars die, they lose most of their mass through explosions that force matter and gas swept away by stellar winds. This theory has now been toppled by LB-1, the newly discovered black hole. Located about 15, 000 light years away
48、, it has a mass 70 times greater than our sun, according to a press release from the Chinese Academy of Sciences. “Black holes of such mass should not even exist in our galaxy (星系), according to most of the present models of stellar evolution, ” said Liu Jifeng, head of the team that made the discov
49、ery. “LB-1 is twice as massive as what we thought possible. Now theorists will have to take up the challenge of explaining its formation. ”Scientists are now scratching their heads at how LB-1 got so huge. The team has proposed some theories. LB-1s sheer size suggests that it “was not formed from th
50、e collapse of only one star, ” the study saidinstead, it could potentially be two smaller black holes orbiting each other. Another possibility is that it formed from “fallback supernova (超行星). ” This is when a supernovathe last stage of an exploding starejects (喷射) material during the explosion, whi
51、ch then falls back into the supernova, creating a black hole. This fallback formation is theoretically possible, but scientists have never been able to prove or observe it. There are several types of black holes and stellar black holes like LB-1 are on the two smaller side, according to NASA. Superm
52、assive black holes are much biggerthey can be billions of times the mass of our sun. Scientists believe supermassive black holes may have connection with the formation of galaxies, as they often exist at the center of the mass star stems but it is still not clear exactly how, or which form first. 【文
53、章大意】本文是一篇科普说明文, 主要是与读者分享黑洞发现的新进展。28. According to scientists, what might account for the formation of LB-1? A. The material ejected in the explosion of a supernova. B. The two smaller black holes moving around each other. C. The evolution of the solar system. D. The collapse of a certain star. 【解析】选
54、B。细节理解题。由文章的六、七自然段“Scientists are now . . . each other. ”可知LB-1不是由一颗行星的爆炸解体形成的, 而是两个小的黑洞相互环绕形成的, 由此可知B选项为正确答案。29. What does the word “toppled” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Confirmed. B. Strengthened. C. Overturned. D. Refused. 【解析】选C。词义猜测题。根据前文“Its a black hole that forms . . . our sun”可知原先有关黑洞的
55、理论指的是黑洞就是行星陨落、解体、爆炸所形成的, 研究人员认为黑洞的大小是大约是太阳的20倍, 根据上下文“This theory . . . Sciences. ” 可知LB-1是一个新的黑洞理论, 与原先研究人员认为的不同, 故前文所讲述的黑洞理论将会被推翻、否认, 从而可以猜测toppled为“推翻”之意。结合选项可知C选项为正确答案。30. What is the purpose of writing this article? A. To inform readers of the basic knowledge about black holes. B. To share the
56、recent development of the black hole discovery. C. To show the importance of discovering black holes for science. D. To report achievements scientists have made in black hole theory. 【解析】选B。 推理判断题。阅读全文可知, 文章主要围绕黑洞新发现展开, 包括黑洞如何形成、黑洞的大小等, 因此可推知, 作者写这篇文章是为了与读者分享黑洞发现的新进展, 故B选项为正确答案。31. What might be the
57、 best title for the passage? A. The Latest Discovery of GalaxiesB. Proposed Theories of Black HolesC. The Possible Formation of the Black HolesD. Biggest Stellar-mass Black Hole Discovered【解析】选D。主旨大意题。根据文章围绕的“黑洞新发现”以及“There are several. . . our sun有几种类型的黑洞, LB-1还算是小的, 据NASA显示, 超级黑洞可能是太阳的十亿倍大”可知新发现的黑
58、洞是超级大的, 原先理论认为黑洞大约只有太阳的20倍, 可知最新发现的黑洞是最大的, 综上所述可知D选项“Biggest Stellar-mass Black Hole Discovered”概括最为贴切、全面, 故D选项为正确答案。DTeens and their teachers know well that early-morning classes can be tiring. Doctors now have a solution: for better teen health, push the sleep button on school start times. Janet C
59、roft, who studies teens and sleep at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)in Atlanta high schools, says, “Most teens are actually brain dead when they go to these early classes. Too many students start their day as walking zombies (僵尸). ”One report stresses the importance of sleep for
60、 teens and describes the dangers from not getting enough sleep. Studies in the past have shown over and over that teens lacking sleep face higher risks of being overweight and being frustrated. Many teens get too little sleep because they attend middle and high schools that start earlier than 8: 30
61、am. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), those early start times throw off a students internal body rhythm, called the circadian clock (生物钟). Too little sleep disturbs that clock and causes problems. The study conducted by the National Sleep Foundation found that nearly 6 in every
62、10 middle school students and 9 in 10 high school students are sleeping too little. Yet many parents arent aware of this. In the same study, 7 of every 10 parents said they believed their kids did sleep enough. That study shows too many parents are unaware of the science on teen-sleep needs, says Ow
63、ens. Kyla Wahlstrom, a former teacher, who has spent a lot of time with teens lacking sleep, says: “An incredible number of students are either sleeping at their desks or sitting there like a lump, not asking questions or raising their hands. ”Getting enough sleep can help a teen on the inside, too.
64、 Several studies have shown that children and teenagers who dont sleep enough are more likely to become obese, or extremely overweight. Teens lacking sleep also are more likely to suffer from anxiety, depression and mood disorders. Its time to recognize how important sleep is, particularly to teenag
65、ers. 【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述学校早上上课时间太早会导致学生睡眠不足, 从而导致一些问题。32. What does the author want to stress by mentioning “walking zombies” in Paragraph 2? A. The students brain health is worrying. B. The students are fond of computer games. C. The students are so used to staying up very late. D. The students a
66、re in a bad state of learning in early classes. 【解析】选D。推理判断题。第二段中提到“Most teens are actually. . . early classes. (大部分青少年在去上早课时, 大脑实际上是麻木的)”, 所以作者提到“walking zombies(行走的僵尸)”是想强调这些学生上早课时学习状态不好。故选D。33. According to AAP in Paragraph 4, early school schedules affect teens by _. A. increasing their course l
67、oadB. affecting their circadian clockC. affecting their performance at schoolD. disturbing their relationships with classmates【解析】选B。细节理解题。根据第四段第二句“According to the . . . clock. (据美国儿科学会所说, 这些很早开始的课程破坏了被称作生物钟的学生的内部身体节奏)”可知, 美国儿科学会认为早课影响学生的生物钟。故选B。34. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A.
68、The number of teens lacking sleep is growing fast. B. Physical and mental health are equally important to teens. C. It is really necessary to adjust school start times in the morning. D. Teachers should take measures to raise students interest in learning. 【解析】选C。推理判断题。最后一段主要讲述睡眠不足的青少年更有可能变得肥胖, 遭受焦虑
69、、沮丧等情绪问题, 结合最后一句“Its time to recognize how important sleep is, particularly to teenagers. (是时候认识到睡眠是多么重要了, 尤其是对青少年)”可推知, 调整学校早上课程开始的时间很有必要。故选C。35. Whats the main idea of the text? A. Parents are unaware of their kids sleep condition. B. Being overweight is very common among American teens. C. Early
70、school start times can turn teens into the walking dead. D. Researchers have found out how sleep is related to teens study. 【解析】选C。主旨大意题。通读全文, 并结合文章第一句“Teens and their teachers know well that early-morning classes can be tiring. (青少年和他们的老师都清楚地知道, 一大早上课很累)”可知, 文章主要讲述学校太早开始上课会让学生睡眠不足, 大脑处于麻木的状态, 并讲述了睡
71、眠不足导致的问题, 所以C项“学校很早开始上课可以让青少年变成行尸走肉”符合题意。故选C。第二节(共5小题; 每小题2. 5分, 满分12. 5分)阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。(2021重庆高二检测)Earlier this year, I removed all Internet services from my home, which was very upsetting at first, but I have lived that way. 36.
