10、节, 满分40分)第一节（共15小题; 每小题2分，满分30分)阅读下列短文，从题中所给的A、B、C、D四个洗项中选出最佳选项。ASome people described the civil rights era, in the 1950s and 1960s as “the greatest singing movement in American history”. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. called music “the soul of the movement”.Integrating singing into the cause was a deli
11、berate choice by the movements organizers. It took advantage of a rich cultural tradition of music-making in communities with African American roots. Singing spirituals ( 圣歌) together was a key motivating activity during meetings, church services, sit-ins and freedom rides. Singing together made peo
12、ple feel strong. Singing inspired activists to stand up to the verbal ( 言语的) and physical assaults, to the police dogs, and to the high-pressure fire hoses aimed at them. Singing spirituals united people and focused them on their goals-freedom and equality.The movements songs were mostly updated tra
13、ditional African American spirituals. “We Shall Overcome” is probably its most famous song. Later on, the song, slightly changed to “We Will Overcome”, was taught to labor organizers in the 1940s at the Highlander Folk School. By 1952, a recording of the song was released, but the words had been cha
14、nged again to “We Shall Overcome”.By the late 1950s, the song was being taught to civil rights activists at the Highlander. Thats where King first heard it. At the end of meetings, everyone would rise, join hands, and sing the song. Today, it has spread around the world and can be heard wherever fre
15、edom and justice are threatened.“Free at Last” was another popular civil rights song. Like “We Shall Overcome”, it inspired singers to continue with a difficult struggle. It sings of the dream and promise of freedom, urging everyone to join hands and to not give up hope. King ended his famous “I Hav
16、e a Dream” speech at the March on Washington by quoting a line from it: “Free at last, free at last! “Taking a cue from the strengths of older African American traditions, music expressed the soul of the civil rights movement. Songs and singing proved essential nonviolent weapons in the struggle for
17、 freedom.21. The second paragraph is mainly about .A. what the goals of the civil rights movement wereB. on what occasions African Americans sang togetherC. why organizers employed singing in the civil rights movementD. how African Americans started the tradition of singing together22. What does the
18、 underlined word “assaults” probably mean in Paragraph 2?A. Violent attacks. B. Severe problems. C. Serious disabilities. D. Potential dangers.23. What might be the best title for the passage?A. King-hero of the civil rights movement B. Music-soul of the civil rights movementC. Freedom-dream of Afri
19、can Americans D. Singing-language to unite AmericansBA Universal Greeting: Shaking HandsA handshake seems to be a normal gesture. In fact, in the 9th century BC, an ancient site during the ruling of Shalmaneser III clearly shows two figures holding hands. The Iliad, usually dated to the 8th century
20、BC, mentions that two characters “taking each others hands and expressing their loyalty, Centuries later, Shakespeare once wrote of two characters who shook hands and swore to be brothers in the book As You Like It. Shaking hands seems to be an ancient custom whose roots have disappeared in the sand
21、s of time.Historians who have studied ancient etiquette （礼仪）books note that the modem handshake did not appear until the middle of the 19th century, when it was considered a slightly inappropriate gesture that could only be used between friends. But what if Shakespeare had written about handshaking
22、hundreds of years earlier?According to author Torbjorn Lundmark in his Tales of Hi and Bye: Greeting and Parting Rituals Around the World, the problem comes in differing definitions of the handshake. The early handshakes mentioned above were part of making deals or peace; King Shalmaneser III referr
23、ed to a rebellion in which he signed a treaty with the King of Babylon. In the Iliad, Diomedes and Glaucus shook hands when they realized they were guest-friends, and Diomedes declared: Lets not try to kill each other. Shakespeare was similarly referencing settlement of a conflict.The modern handsha
24、ke as a form of greeting is harder to trace. As a Dutch sociologist Herman Roodenburg the chief authority for the history of handshaking wrote in a chapter of an anthology called A Cultural History of Gesture, “More than in any other field, that of the study of gesture is one in which the historian
25、has to make the most of only a few clues”.One of the earliest clues he cites is a 16th-century German translation of the French writer Rabelaiss Gargantua and Pantagruel. When one character meets Gargantua, Rabelais writes, “He was greeted by countless hugs and countless good days. But according to
26、Roodenburg, the 16th-century German translation added references to shaking hands.A popular saying suggests that Clelands statements against bowing were actually a wish to go back to a potentially traditional method of greeting in Europe. As the centuries progressed, handshaking was replaced by more
27、 hierarchical （等级的）ways of greeting like bowing. According to Roodenburg, handshaking survived in a few remote places, like in Dutch towns where some would use the gesture to make peace after disagreements. Around the same time, those who valued equality also made use of handshaking. Then, as the Co
28、ntinents hierarchy was weakened, handshaking became a common practice among people of the same rank, as it is today.24. Why does the author mention Shakespeare in the first two paragraphs?A. To prove that the history of handshaking is hard to find.B. To illustrate that handshaking is a very old cust
29、om.C. To show readers that handshaking is common in fiction.D. To explain the value of handshaking in communication.25. What can we learn about handshaking from the passage?A. The origin of handshaking as a form of greeting is easy to trace.B. Citizens usually shake hands to show friendliness in Hol
30、land.C. It was used only between friends and to reach an agreement.D. It is a common practice between people of different social positions.26. Which of the following is similar in meaning to anthology in Para. 4?A. the science of mental ability B. a collection of selected literary passagesC. a daily
31、 written record of experiences D. all the living things of a particular region27. What can be inferred from the last paragraph of the passage?A. The handshake has disappeared in some remote parts of the Netherlands.B. Handshaking has different meanings in different European countries.C. Most Europea
32、ns prefer to shake hands rather than bow.D. Handshakes are now common between people of different positions.CPeople with genetic syndromes(综合症) sometimes havetelltale(泄露秘密的) facial features, but using them to make a quick and cheap diagnosis can be tricky given there are hundreds of possible conditi
33、ons they may have. A new neural network that analyzes photographs of faces can help doctors narrow down the possibilities.Yaron Gurovich at biotechnology firm FDNA in Boston and his team built a neural network to look at the gestalt - or overall impression - of faces and return a list of the 10 gene
34、tic syndromes a person is most likely to have.They trained the neural network, called DeepGestalt, on 17,000 images correctly labelled to match more than 200 geneticsyndromes. The team then asked the AI to identify potential genetic disorders from a further 502 photos of people with such conditions.
35、 It included the correct answer 91 per cent of the time.Gurovich and his team also tested the neural networks ability to distinguish between the different geneticmutations(变异) that can lead to the same syndrome. They used photographs of people with Noonan syndrome, which can result from mutations in
36、 any one of five genes. DeepGestalt correctly identified the genetic source of the physical appearance 64 per cent of the time. Its clearly not perfect, but its still much better than humans are at trying to do this.As the system makes its assessments, the facial regions that were most helpful in th
37、e determination are highlighted and made available for doctors to view. This helps them to understand the relationships between genetic make-up and physical appearance.The fact that the diagnosis is based on a simple photograph raises questions about privacy. If faces can reveal details about geneti
38、cs, then employers and insurance providers could, in principle, secretly use such techniques to discriminate against people who have a high probability of having certain disorders. However, Gurovich says the tool will only be available for use by clinicians(临床医生). Clinically, this technology can hel
39、p narrow down the search space of diagnosis and then confirm through checking genetic markers. Besides, it could perhaps add means of finding other people with the disease and, in turn, help find new treatments or cures.28. Whats the best title of this text?A. Tricky facial features B. Faces let AI
40、spot genetic disorders C. Facial features give you away to doctors D. DeepGestalt: a magic cure for genetic syndromes29. What can we know about DeepGestalt?A. It can be trained to correctly label the images of people.B. It can correctly identify geneticmutations 91% of the time.C. It was built to lo
41、ok at faces and identify genetic disorders.D. It is much better than humans at trying to identify physical appearance.30. Why are certain facial regions highlighted in the assessment process?A. To help confirm the diagnosis.B. To make the system more understandable.C. To help the system quickly reco
42、gnize people.D. To help identify a condition and make a diagnosis.31. Whats the authors attitude towards the technology?A. Positive. B. Neutral. C. Indifferent. D. Critical.DInequality in the workplace has long been a hot topic but gender economist Roy is actively turning that conversation into acti
43、on. She founded Pipeline Equity, a company that employs artificial intelligence (AI) to identify and drive economic gains through gender equality. The idea was: If we could change decisions that are made in organizations, we could actually make gender equality a reality in our lifetime, rather than
44、the hundred or so years that we World Economic Forum (WEF) predicts. Roy said. The WEFs predictions were made before the COVID-19 pandemic hit, which Roy called a she-session, because women have lost the majority of jobs during this particular economic downturn. With remote work and with people bein
45、g at home with children, most caregiving and unpaid work falls to women.There has been much talk about such situations being good for gender equality, but Roy warned while working from home could help keep more women in the workforce, it could have a negative impact on female promotions. At this mom
46、ent, theres the opportunity to employ AI to ensure we make progress on gender equality, Roy explained. For companies, that is particularly important because in the 2008 Great Recession（经济大萧条），companies that put equality at the core of their crisis management strategy actually increased the speed of
47、their recovery.But to close the gender pay gap, we cant start by talking about pay. Pay is the symptom its not the disease. Roy said. Pay is the quantitative（数量的）value that you place on your talent. But the actual value happens before that in performance and potential. Thats where Pipelines platform
48、 steps in. Using natural language processing, Pipelines platform reads through performance reviews and calls out any biased phrases. Theyve found that on average, women are under-valued 4 percent of the time, and that actually impacts their ability to be promoted, as well as their pay. As this momen
49、t, we have the opportunity to embrace AI as a tool to achieve get equality. Roy said32. Women in the workplace may face problems EXCEPT_.A. Being under-valuedB. getting a lower payC. Heavy economic burdenD. smaller chances of promotion33. By mentioning “the 2008 Great Recession”, Roy meant_.A. AI ha
50、d long been employed in the workplaceB. gender equality was the key to solving the crisisC. Gender equality could play an important role during economic crisisD. the present situation was similar to that of the 2008 Great Recession34. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 5 imply?A. Pay is
51、the root of gender inequality. B. Pay is not worth attaching importance to.C. Pay is just an indicator of gender inequality.D. Pay is the first step towards ensuring gender quality.35. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A. Pay gap will soon be closed. B. AI brings equality
52、into the workplace.C. Its time to ensure equality in the workplace.D. The more women in the workplace, the better.第二节（共5小题：每小题2分，满分10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。In everyday life,we are often faced with important decisions such as whether to apply for a new job or start a new course.

In these cases,we may a
54、void the challenge altogether and carry on down the same path we were on.We make some excuses to ourselves so that we can stay in our comfort zone. _38_ By avoiding challenges,we dont have the opportunities to learn about ourselves.We feel trapped.We are troubled by discomfort,anxiety,and the sense
55、that things are not quite right.There are times when we might want to avoid a challenge for good,realistic reasons.Perhaps,deep down ,we are frightened of what other people might say and of what we might learn about ourselves.But instead of acknowledging that,we tell ourselves that now is not a good

94、 Roy explained. For companies, that is particularly important because in the 008 Great Recession（经济大萧条），companies that put equality at the core of their crisis management strategy actually increased the speed of their recovery.”（罗伊解释说：“目前，有机会利用人工智能来确保我们在两性平等方面取得进展。对公司来说，这一点尤为重要，因为在008年的大衰退中，那些将平等作为危
95、机管理战略核心的公司实际上提高了它们的复苏速度。”），可知在008年的大衰退中，那些重视两性平等的公司恢复得快，说明作者认为两性平等在经济危机期间可以发挥重要作用。故选C项。【34题详解】句意猜测题。由第五段“But to close the gender pay gap, we cant start by talking about pay. Pay is the symptom its not the disease. Roy said. Pay is the quantitative（数量的）value that you place on your talent. But the act
96、ual value happens before that in performance and potential.”（但要缩小男女薪酬差距，我们不能从谈论薪酬开始。“工资是症状，不是疾病。”罗伊说薪酬是你对自己的才能所给予的定量价值。但在性能和潜力方面，实际价值先于此。），可知罗伊认为公司给予人的薪酬远不如人在性能和潜力方面上的实际价值，男女薪酬是有差距的，说明薪酬本身体现了性别不平等，Pay is the symptom its not the disease在此处意为“薪酬只是性别不平等的一个指标”。故选C项。【35题详解】主旨大意题。由第一段中的“Inequality in the
97、workplace has long been a hot topic but gender economist Roy is actively turning that conversation into action. She founded Pipeline Equity, a company that employs artificial intelligence (AI) to identify and drive economic gains through gender equality. The idea was: If we could change decisions th
98、at are made in organizations, we could actually make gender equality a reality in our lifetime, rather than the hundred or so years that we World Economic Forum (WEF) predicts. Roy said.”（长期以来，工作场所的不平等一直是一个热门话题，但性别经济学家罗伊正在积极地将这种对话转化为行动。她创立了Pipeline Equity，这是一家利用人工智能通过性别平等来识别和推动经济收益的公司。“这个想法是：如果我们能改变
99、组织中的决策，我们就能在有生之年真正实现两性平等，而不是像世界经济论坛预测的那样几百年。”），可知文章主要讲罗伊创立了Pipeline Equity，利用人工智能来实现工作场所的平等，推动公司经济收益，B项“人工智能将平等带入工作场所”符合文意。故选B项。七选五【答案】36. E 37. C 38. F 39. A 40.

104、 fear talking.（实际上，这是我们内心的恐惧在说话。”；其中“our fear”与上文中的“We are afraid of”语义相符；“talking”与上一句中“we tell ourselves”语义相符；A项是顺承空前一句的话题。故选A。【20题详解】空前一句提到“It is not that authentic people dont feel the same fear; rather, they are simply more willing to face their fear.（这并不是说真实的人不会感受到同样的恐惧；相反，他们只是更愿意去面对他们的恐惧。）”；G
105、项“They are open to new experiences, cherishing the challenges of learning about themselves.（他们乐于接受新的体验，珍惜了解自我的挑战。）”，其中“they”指代空前一句中的“authentic people”；“They are open”与空前一句中“they are simply more willing”句式并列。G项是顺承空前一句的话题。故选G。第三部分 语言运用第一节 完形填空【答案】A BD C A CDBAD A BCDC【解析】【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者将女儿送去全日制看护中
