文章大意:这是一篇记叙文。本文作者主要从购买二手书的经历、重新阅读的意义和不断更新自己的读物等几个方面说明阅读的重要性和意义。

1 . As a college student in Boston, I formed the habit of buying used books. I enjoy the hunt, the good price and the unrecognized treasures. I find old textbooks, ex-bestsellers, and books on subjects I’ve never heard of but now I must learn all about. I don’t search for rare books, first editions, or leather-bound editions but books that are worth reading.

Rereading, for me, is a pleasure during retirement. The theater and the concert hall become less appealing to me, along with crowds. Staying alone and reading books have become extremely important to me. Literature needs the flesh of experience to have its full effect. Different books offer me insights and ways of expressing that stuck in my mind as grains of sand in an oyster — now shine like pearls. My taste in books improves with age.

While packing for a move, which occurs at intervals of five to seven years, I clear my shelves and pick my books. I abandon a few, later regret my decisions, and look for them again. Several years ago, I got rid of books related to my job — architecture. Some were design guides, reference books, product catalogs, and things that went out of date. Some were historical or centered on a period or an architect. These had given me many hours of pleasure. Will I ever open their covers again? Certainly. I held on to the red bulk of Sir Banister Fletcher’s A History of Architecture and books on Paris, Rome, and Boston.

I gave away drafting equipment and instruments. I threw out rolls and rolls of paper, and old drawings of projects completed long ago, some of which had even been damaged. This time, I stay put in a cottage that suits my status and I’ve moved on in spirit. No doubt I will acquire more used books and throw away more books as passions grow and fade, like feathers changing with the seasons.

1. What does the author consider most important when choosing used books?
A.Their appealing covers.B.Their reasonable prices.
C.Their collection value.D.Their excellent content.
2. What does the author realize as he grows older?
A.He has a deeper understanding of reading.B.His attitude towards work changes.
C.His communication skills improve.D.He has a small circle of friends.
3. Why does the author mention books on architecture?
A.To show some books are worth rereading.B.To explain his love for architecture.
C.To suggest we avoid making poor decisions.D.To recommend Sir Banister Fletcher’s books.
4. What can we learn about the author from the last paragraph?
A.He decides to stop throwing away used books.B.He will read more books that suit his interests.
C.He will enlarge his collection of used books.D.He is bad at using advanced drafting equipment.

文章大意:本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道了11月8日,一场70年来最强的龙卷风袭击了泽西岛,造成巨大破坏,并让居民陷入极大恐慌。

2 . On November 8th, a tornado, the most powerful in the past 70 years, hit Jersey, causing great damages to the area and leaving the residents in great panic.

“Suddenly, the windows of the waiting room exploded in and dragged everything inside. My cars have been completely destroyed by branches and fences, and my garden is completely gone. There’s no furniture, no fence; everything has been thrown everywhere. At first there was lightning but then a strange noise and strange darkness came over the whole house. It was like being in a scary scene in the movie The Wizard of Oz,” Ashleigh Quail-Charleston, a Jersey resident, told the Bailiwick Express after the tornado that struck overnight on November 1—2 during Storm Ciaran.

The consequence looked like a bomb had gone off: cars hit, roofs with holes, windows broken. “A huge tree leans drunkenly against a block of flats. Piles of branches are piled optionally and pavements are covered with pieces,” said Chris Stone at BBC Radio Jersey. The tornado was powerful and exceptionally rare, caused by a severe thunderstorm that had sent out intense lightning and huge hailstones described as “ice bombs”. The Tornado and Storm Research Organization (Torro) and Jersey Met Office revealed the tornado left a trail of damages 8 km long across the island, and rated its intensity as T6 on an international scale of tornado power.

According to Torro records, this was the most powerful tornado to strike anywhere in the British Isles or Channel Islands since December 7th, 1954 when a tornado struck west London, leaving tremendous devastation, with Gunnersbury railway station torn apart, roofs torn off houses and one car even thrown through the air.

Tornados during Storm Ciaran also hit Sompting in West Sussex and Loders in Dorset. One resident in Loders, Sophie van Hensbergen, described the moment, saying, “The tornado struck with a very, very powerful whistling sound and the windows looked as though we were in a car wash.”

1. Why is The Wizard of Oz mentioned in paragraph 2?
A.To summarize the consequence.B.To introduce the topic.
C.To enrich the readers’ knowledge.D.To help describe the tornado.
2. What does paragraph 3 mainly about?
A.How tornado was rated.
B.What caused the tornado.
C.How severe the tornado was.
D.What should be done to prevent the tornado.
3. What does the underlined word “devastation” mean in paragraph 4?
A.Marks.B.Damages.C.Memory.D.Impression.
4. What is this text?
A.A news item.B.A science report.
C.A movie reviewer.D.A weather forcast.

文章大意:这是一篇说明文。文章介绍野生动物并不会轻易的攻击人类,除非它们太饿了,或是它们的孩子受到威胁。

3 . Some people think that all wild animals are dangerous. Actually, very few of them will attack a man if he leaves them alone. If you met a lion or an elephant, I suppose you would run away; but even a lion will keep away from a man unless it is very hungry. Lions and tigers only kill and eat men when they have grown too old and too weak to catch their usual food, such as deer and other small animals. If you saw a wild elephant, perhaps you would be frightened. Elephants usually run away at once unless you attack them. Some animals get very frightened if they only smell a man; some take no notice at all but quietly walk in another direction. Wild animals only attack hunters when they are afraid that the hunters mean to harm their young ones, or then the hunters shoot at them and make them angry.

1. Lions and tigers will not kill or eat men ____________
A.unless men try to run awayB.if they are too old and too weak

文章大意:这是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了情绪从何而来。

6 . Emotions are like our best friend. They have always been a part of our lives and have been influencing our personalities from the very beginning. However, this begs the question — where do emotions come from?

Evolutionary (进化论的) psychologists believe that emotions are adaptations that have evolved in response to the challenges faced by our ancestors. They believe that emotions are innate (先天的), meaning that we are born with them wired into our brains.

Some psychologists restrict their claims to a small set of “basic” emotions, which are called the Big Six — happiness, sadness, fear, surprise, anger and disgust.

Critics of evolutionary psychology argue that emotions are socially constructed. They reject the evolutionary theory of emotions being involuntary; instead, they believe that emotions are voluntary choices we trick ourselves into treating as involuntary.

Defendants of this view believe that our culture influences how we should feel and what we should do in a given situation. When we feel an emotion and act on it, we engage in a behavior that is prescribed by our culture.

People argue that our presumption that emotions are involuntary, such as anger, may just be a convenient illusion (幻觉). To be angry, we need to understand something as offensive (冒犯的), which is likely based on culturally informed moral judgments. In that case, how can anger be an animal reflex (本能反应)?

Moreover, anger is not seen in all cultures. In Inuit culture, people rarely show any signs of anger, probably since threatening responses would be too risky in a small culture surviving in harsh conditions. The Malay language of Malaysia doesn’t even have a word meaning “anger”!

The fact that culture can affect the incidence and intensity of our emotions makes them look less like biological truths and more like the product of social constructs.

From my perspective, evolutionary psychologists underestimate the contributions of culture and learning, whereas social constructionists over-emphasize the same. Basically, we need an explanation that can steer between both these extremes.

The next time you feel a complex emotion bubbling up (冒出), the key is to determine the underlying basic emotions so you can take action that is the most helpful in keeping you balanced and emotionally under control!

1. What do evolutionary psychologists believe?
A.We are born with emotions.
B.Personalities influence emotions.
C.Emotions are learned.
D.Humans have six different emotions.
2. What does the underlined word “prescribed” in paragraph 5 mean?
A.Copied.
B.Remembered.
C.Translated.
D.Required.
3. What do the two examples in paragraph 7 mainly explain?
A.Emotions play a major role in survival.
B.People in poor circumstances have emotions.
C.People solve problems with the help of emotions.
D.Emotions are socially constructed.
4. What is essential when facing the occurrence of a complex emotion?
A.Finding out the real core emotions.
B.Taking action to ignore basic emotions.
C.Striking a balance between life and work.
D.Making efforts to build confidence.

文章大意:本文是一篇说明文。这篇文章介绍了华盛顿大学的一组学者开发的深度学习算法,使用户能够实时选择通过耳机过滤的噪音。

7 . Active noise control technology is used by noise-canceling headphones to minimize or completely block out outside noise. However, despite the many advancements in technology, people still don't have much control over which sounds their headphones block out and which they let pass.

Now, deep learning algorithms (算法) have been developed by a group of academics at the University of Washington that enable users to select which noises to filter (过滤) through their headphones in real-time. The system has been named “semantic hearing” by its creators.

The AI-powered headphones remove all background noise by streaming recorded audio (音频) to a smartphone that is linked to the devices. Through this process, the headphone users can choose to strengthen or cancel out 20 types of sounds, using voice commands or a smartphone app. The headphones will then only let through the sounds that have been chosen by the wearer.

“The challenge is that the sounds headphone wearers hear need to syne (同步) with their visual senses. This means the neural (神经的) algorithms must process sounds in under a hundredth of a second.” said senior author Shyam Gollakota, a UW professor.

Due to this time constraint, the semantic hearing system chooses a process that relies on noises communicated on a device like a linked smartphone. Furthermore, in order for humans to continue to effectively experience sounds in their environment, the system needs to maintain these delays because sounds coming from different directions enter people's ears at different times.

Trials were undertaken by the researchers in a variety of settings. The semantic hearing system was able to isolate target sounds, while at the same time removing background noise. In terms of the system's audio output for the desired sounds. 22 participants gave it an average rating higher than they assigned to the original noise recordings.

There were, however, a few disadvantages: the Al-powered system occasionally had trouble recognizing sounds that were too similar. The researchers said that the system could produce better results if its machine learning models were trained on more real world data.

1. What can deep learning algorithms do?
A.Improve users listening ability.
B.Help users remove unwanted noise.
C.Stop people from entering noisy areas.
D.Create communication between users.
2. What should the neural algorithms do according to Shyam Gollakota?
A.Select headphone users.
B.Process data without noticeable delay.
C.Follow the way people speak.
D.Improve the quality of smartphones.
3. What did the researchers find about the system in the trials?
A.It has improvement in sound quality.
B.It helps them recognize participants' voices.
C.It has more disadvantages than advantages.
D.It's suitable to strengthen background noise.
4. Which is the most suitable title for the text?
A.The semantic hearing system still has some drawbacks
B.The semantic hearing system can recognize human speech
C.AI noise-canceling headphones let you choose what you hear
D.AI noise-canceling headphones now have a commercial version

文章大意:这是一篇说明文。文章阐述了现在很多国家面临人口结构失衡的现象,它们把解决问题的方法投向了人工智能领域。作者呼吁各国政府要出台相应政策支持人工智能的开发,同时也要关注它可能带来的负面影响。

8 . Demographic changes, such as aging populations and declining birth rates, pose challenges as well as offer opportunities for industries and countries. To overcome the challenges and seize the opportunities, especially to achieve long-term economic sustainability, economies need to enhance policies promoting innovations.

Now many countries in East Asia are facing the aging population and declining working-age population problem. Compared with other advanced countries, Japan encountered the population aging problem at a slightly earlier stage, starting in the mid-1990s. As Japan’s percentage of elderly population to the total population increased, it impacted the country’s economy, leading to a contraction in domestic demand and decline in both production and consumption, and restricting the growth of economy.

Some innovative companies have actively increased outward FDI (Foreign Direct Investment), providing cost advantages from inexpensive overseas labor to maintain their cost competitiveness. However, the global economy is facing the challenge of declining trade owing to the protectionism practiced by certain countries. Consequently, the chances of boosting growth through outward FDI may be limited.

Developing artificial intelligence is another solution to the negative impacts of the demographic changes. AI and robotics will play a crucial role in stimulating productivity and innovation by making payment for the decline in the working-age population, and the following increase in productivity will in turn raise the demand for labor by creating new employment opportunities.

AI, robotics and other advanced technologies give rise to new tasks within their fields and across other sectors. Therefore, it is necessary to employ cooperation policies to support corporations that promote innovations by increasing investment in research and development, facilitating the growth of new companies, and building a perfect system to protect intellectual properties. Since AI and robotics may replace certain jobs, it is essential to address the potential challenges they may create in the labor market and work out strategies to ensure a balanced and comprehensive transition.

1. What do we know about demographic changes from the first two paragraphs?
A.There is no need to worry since the changes offer opportunities.
B.The changes won’t affect the long-term economic sustainability.
C.Japan is the only advanced country facing the changes at present.
D.Things should be done to overcome the challenges posed by the changes.
2. What does the underlined word “contraction” mean in the second paragraph?
A.Push.B.Decrease.C.Pause.D.Change.
3. What is the writer’s attitude to FDI?
A.Favorable.B.Intolerant.C.Objective.D.Indifferent.
4. What does the writer advise to tackle the new tasks posed by advanced technologies?
A.Withdrawing investment in research and development.
B.Adopting policies that encourage innovation of corporations.
C.Establishing new companies to protect intellectual properties.
D.Creating potential labor market for more possible employments.

文章大意:本文是一篇记叙文,主要讲述了12岁的女孩Madison为了解决塑料瓶污染的问题,发明了可食用的水瓶。

10 . Across the world, humans purchase around 1.3 billion single-use plastic water bottles a day. Because only about 9% of plastic is recycled, the vast majority of those bottles wind up in landfills, the ocean, or elsewhere in nature.

When beach-loving Madison noticed those plastic bottles during her family’s trips to California, the 12-year-old “just felt like this needed to change,” she told Smithsonian Magazine.

So as she began thinking about what to do for her school science fair back in 2021, the idea of a project centered on reducing plastic pollution quickly came to her mind: she would design an eatable water bottle called the Eco-Hero.

“One of my biggest ambitions for my project was wanting to help the world,” the confident young inventor said in a video on the website.

To bring her idea to life, Madison built upon the already established method by experimenting with common food materials. She also took inspiration from previous versions of eatable water bottles, though she focused on making hers bigger and more durable. She found that the combination of water, lemon juice, natural gum, and Alginic acid (褐藻酸) resulted in a gel pouch that wouldn’t break, could hold up to 3/4 cup of water, and would last in the fridge for three weeks.

Though she’d like to improve the Eco-Hero by making it able to hold more water, she believes her current version would work well as a replacement for the paper cups used by runners in races. All one needs to do is bite a hole in the water ball, drink the water, and then eat the pouch or throw it away to biodegrade.

Madison hopes the Eco-Hero inspires others to take better care of the planet. “It doesn’t necessarily have to be in a big way,” she told Smithsonian. “People can still make a difference in the world, even if it’s just in a small way.”

1. What inspired Madison’s design of an eatable water bottle?
A.Her school’s task.B.Her family’s urge.
C.Her love for nature.D.Her trips to the beach.
2. What can we know about the Eco-Hero?
A.It is a copy of the previous versions.
B.It is made from unbreakable materials.
C.It is an improvement in size and durability.
D.It has a hole and should be disposed once used.
3. Which of the following words can best describe Madison?
A.Ambitious and creative.B.Talented and determined.
C.Courageous and confident.D.Cooperative and committed.
4. What can be the best title for the text?
A.A good beginning is half done.B.Small people make big moves.
C.Where there is a will, there is a way.D.God helps those who help themselves.
