They check people’s vital signs,such as blood pressure and glucose(葡萄糖)levels,and provide the medical team with timely data for assessing how to move forward with care and treatment, especially for those whose health is at risk.In the future,Boateng wants to broaden the reach of his efforts to deliver medical services, not only to Ghana’s remote regions but also to other nations across the globe.“I believe that our model can be copied in Sub-Saharan Africa,”he said.“So,the goal is to really develop strategic partnerships and get additional mobile health vans for the communities or the regions that we want to serve.”24.What motivated Boateng to launch the OKB Hope Foundation?A.The drive to raise people’s awareness of health.B.The barrier to basic health care in his community.C.The dream of impressing his family members and neighbors.D.The hope of creating jobs for medical professionals in Ghana.25.Why does the author mention Abraham in paragraph4?A.To judge the service of the mobile clinic.B.To describe the current situation of the citizens.C.To imply the positive impact of the mobile clinic.D.To show the mobile clinic has served many people.26.What role do the local health advocates play?A.They help the doctors to analyze data.B.They assist patients to get their medicine.C.They keep the medical facilities in good condition.D.They examine the patients before further treatment.27.What is Boateng’s long-term vision for the OKB Hope Foundation?A.To expand the mobile clinic service beyond his country.B.To work with other nations to promote his organization.C.To establish a national health insurance system in Ghana.D.To build a large hospital in every rural community in Ghana.CFor the past20years,I’ve searched libraries and the Internet for others who are thinking about the possible effect of the breakdown of multigenerational families.I’ve been surprised at how few resources exist on this topic.It’s the main reason I chose to finally write Family Revision.While I’ve expected one of the countless marriage and family writers and thinkers to address this topic,none seem to really understand that the transition(转变)from multigenerational families to nuclear families is at the root of so many of the other symptoms they discuss.Well,the silence on this topic was finally broken and it was not from a traditional family publication but from David Brooks,The New York Times columnist writing for The Atlantic.In an article nearly the length of a dissertation on this subject,Brooks masterfully exposes the root problem with the modern family.In the article,Brooks wrote,“When we discuss the problems the country is facing,we don’t talk about family enough.It feels too judgmental,too uncomfortable,and maybe even too religious.But the fact is that the nuclear family has been crumbling in slow motion for decades, and many of our other problems—with education,mental health,and the quality of the labor force—stem from that breakdown.We have left behind the family structure of the past.For most people it’s not coming back.”Many Americans are hungering to live in multigenerational families,in the way that is new and ancient at the same time.This is a significant opportunity,a chance to thicken and broaden family relationships,a chance to allow more adults and children to live and grow under the loving gaze of a dozen pairs of eyes,and be caught,when they fall,by a dozen pairs of arms.For decades we have been eating at smaller and smaller tables,with fewer and fewer relatives.It’s time to find ways to bring back the big tables.28.Which word can best describe the breakdown of multigenerational families?A.Damaging.B.Extraordinary.C.Meaningful.D.Ineffective.29.What does the author think of Brooks’article?A.It’s a tradition.B.It’s a victory.C.It’s a comparison.D.It’s a breakthrough.30.What does the underlined word“crumbling”in paragraph4mean?A.developingB.failingC.collapsingD.establishing31.What is the author’s attitude to the structure of multigenerational families?A.Dismissive.B.Approving.C.Unclear.D.Doubtful.DIf you use the internet,you’ve probably heard of a filter bubble(过滤气泡).Internet sites and social media platforms use algorithms(算法)that show you content based on your previous interactions,likes,and shares.Over time,this creates a filter bubble where you only see content that agrees with your interests and beliefs,which serves to convince you that your beliefs are true. But what you might not know is that in similar fashion,your brain has several mechanisms to filter information,creating personal filter bubbles that deeply shape how you live your life.Self-created filter bubbles happen through various cognitive processes,and they have multiple consequences.They shape your experience of what’s happening by forming a lens(镜片) through which you see and interpret the world.On the internet,because things are being presented based on past user history,no two people get the same results when they search for something on the internet or open their news feed.In real life,no two people are experiencing an event or seeing a situation in the exact same way,because we all bring our own past expe r iences and biases(偏见) to situations,causing us to process them differently.Filter bubbles can cause you to stay stuck in self-created and often self-limiting patterns of thought and behavior.If you’ve ever wondered why change is so hard,it’s because your mental filter bubbles make it difficult to see different possibilities.If you hold the belief that you’re not someone who can have a high-paying job,you won’t look for one and you’ll only seek out and see jobs that match up with what you think you’re worth.Filter bubbles can also prevent critical thinking and can lead to a limited and biased view of the world,where people don’t consider alternative viewpoints and don’t engage with others outside of their own circles.When we only consume information that confirms our preexisting beliefs and values,we don’t question the truth of that information or properly evaluate the evidence.While you can’t prevent your brain from creating selective filter bubbles,you can become more aware so that you don’t have to be limited or trapped by them.32.What can we learn about filter bubbles?A.They shape our interpretations of the world.B.They have changed the way we view ourselves.C.They are frequent occurrences and have little effect on us.D.They assist us in making friends with like-minded individuals.33.How do filter bubbles impact individuals’ability to embrace change?A.They facilitate open-mindedness and flexibility.B.They make individuals resistant to new opportunities.C.They help individuals adapt quickly to new situations.D.They prevent individuals from successfully securing a job.34.What might the author continue talking about?A.Examples of creating filter bubbles.B.Barriers to overcoming filter bubbles.C.Ways of escaping from filter bubbles.D.Benefits of recognizing filter bubbles.35.What does the text mainly talk about?A.The dangers of bias in information consumption.B.The influence of past experiences on our worldview.C.The benefits of social media algorithms on our mind.D.The impact of filter bubbles on shaping our perception.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。

To register by 3rd March 2024.B. To download the PayQuick app.C. To bring their phones with them.D. To share the account with their family.3.What is the author’s intention in writing this passage?A. To ensure the safety of PayQuick.B. To stress the importance of PayQuick.C. To popularize the use of PayQuick.D. To illustrate the application of PayQuick.Tonight, our family was going out to play under the full moon.My husband Todd and I first started going on full moon walks for ourselves, as we needed these little doses of moonlight to stay happy, though sometimes we had to hikechildren. We wanted to show Sierra and Bryce that it was not necessary to travel far from home to have an adventure and learn something new, and that there was much magic in the natural world, available to all.Once we arrived at our location, Sierra and I stood holding hands, waiting to cheer the full moon in its rising—a thin sliver of the appealing moon emerged above the ridge of the mountain afar. Soon, more of the moon came out until it turned into a brilliant orange sphere. Todd explained to Sierra and Bryce that the moon generates no light, but simply acts like a mirror, reflecting the sunlight back to us. “Does the moon’s face change?” Bryce asked. I told him that the moon rotates (旋转) around the earth, but does not spin by itself, so the same side of the moon is always facing the earth. Sierra remarked that the moon looked larger and closer when it was rising. I explained that it is a visual illusion (错觉) because it is so close to the horizon that the moon magically tricks our eyes into comparing it with nearby objects, thus creating the impression of the increased size.Much of the knowledge that I shared with the kids was learned from my parents. During my childhood, they would take me on educational adventures out in the woods, and as I later found, so did their parents. So every time I go for a full moon walk with my beloved family, I thank those wise educators who came before me.To educate, sometimes all it takes is going outdoors and gazing up at the heavens. 4.What does the und erlined word “this” in paragraph 2 refer to?A. Going on a hike through the forest.B. Taking a walk under the full moon.C. Watching magic shows every month.D. Traveling far from home for adventure.5.What can we learn from their family outing?A. The kids were reluctant to participate.B. Todd mentioned the mirror to explain sunlight.C. The kids exhibited a spirit of exploration about the moon.D. The author used a magic trick to explain the larger moon.6.Which of the following best describes the parents?A. Creative and faithful.B. Selfless and brave.C. Inspiring and generous.D. Insightful and patient.7.What does the story convey to the readers?A. Life is what you make it.B. Every cloud has a silver lining.C. Nature is the best teacher.D. God helps those who help themselves.As humanity has got richer, animal’s roles have changed. People need their services less than before. Fewer wolves and thieves meant less demand for dogs for protection; the internal combustion engine (内燃机) made horses unneeded; modern sanitation (卫生设备) kept rats in check and made cats less useful. Domestic animals are no longer necessities, but commonly seen companions. Pet-keeping seems to become more and more popular, as a recent survey found that 69% of American households keep at least one pet.The pet business is growing even faster than pet numbers, because people are spending more and more money on them. No longer are they food-waste-recyclers, fed with the remains that fall from their masters’ tables. Pet food shelv es are full of cuisines tailored to satisfy a range of appetites, including ice cream for dogs and foods for pets that are old, diabetic, or suffer from sensitive digestion.In the business, this is called “pet humanization” — the tendency of pet owners to treat their pets as part of the family. This is obvious in the names given to dogs, which have evolved from Fido, Rex, and Spot to Bella, Lucy, and Max.People still hold the false assumption that pets must be working for humanity in some way, perhaps making people healthier or less anxious. But the evidence for that is weak. New research suggests that dogs have evolved those “cute eyes” to affect human emotions and control them, which works very well. Humans now work very hard to pay for the care of theirpets. For example, Americans often refer to themselves not as cat owners but as the cat’s “mommy” or “daddy”. South Koreans go one step further, describing themselves as cat “butlers (管家)”. Watch an unlucky man walking his dog, plastic bag in hand to pick up its mess, and we have to doubt: who’s in charge now? Is this relationship what we really want? 8.What can we learn about the animal-keeping trend?A. People’s needs for animal services are increasing.B. The price for purchasing a domestic pet is on the rise.C. Pet foods are less various and customized than before.D. Both the pet number and the pet business are growing.9.Which of the following is the evidence of “pet humanization”?A. Pets’ ability to make their owners less anxious.B. Human’s increasing investment in pet-keeping.C. Pet’s roles as both working staff and companions.D. The owners’ preference to give pets human names.10.What is the author’s attitude towards the current human-pet relationship?A. Skeptical.B. Conservative.C. Unclear.D. Approving.11.Which might be the best title of the passage?A. The Changing Roles of PetsB. The Growing Trend of Pet BusinessC. The Craze for Pet-keepingD. The Pros and Cons of Keeping PetsHibernation (冬眠) is a classic topic of science fiction. In movies such as 2001: A Space Odyssey, Alien, or Passengers, crew members are put into a state of sleep to take year-long journeys to space. Now a new study from Washington University has shown that human hibernation may soon become a reality.The research team carried out tests on rats —animals that do not naturally hibernate. They first identified a group of neurons (神经元) in a deep brain region, which were found to be involved in controlling body temperature during hibernation. They showed that, in mice, these neurons could be stimulated using ultrasound (超声波), which was delivered through a helmet without causing an injury.When receiving the ultrasound, the mice showed a drop in body temperature of about3°C, and their heart rates fell by about 47%. When the ultrasound system was switched off, they woke up again. The result was “surprising and fascinating”, said Hong Chen, a professor wholed the work.humans. They believe that it could be key to addressing health conditions like heart disease, and Alzheimer’s. Furthermore, hibernation’s ability to slow aging, which was observed in bats, could benefit space exploration, enabling longer missions with less food requirements. Research in animals also suggests that bodies of hibernating astronauts might lose less bone and muscle, making them fit and ready to start challenging exploration soon after they wake up.By unlocking the secrets of this remarkable process, researchers may uncover ways to improve human health, as well as gain new insights into the natural world. Therefore, the exploration of hibernation is an exciting area that is sure to yield numerous benefits in the years to come.The scientists now plan to look at how lowered body temperature might affect the cognitive abilities of humans. “Our next experiments will test working memory in monkeys. This is important because while astronauts physically hibernate as they fly into deep space, their brain still needs to be working,” said Chen.12.How did researchers put rats into hibernation?A. By lowering their body temperature.B. By activating specific brain neurons.C. By putting a regular helmet on them.D. By using ultrasound through an operation.13.What does the underlined word “harness” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A. Employ.B. Challenge.C. Overlook.D. Discover.14.What advantage might hibernation bring to humans?A. It improves people’s mental health.B. It predicts a variety of heart diseases.C. It helps astronauts keep physically fit.D. It enables astronauts to build up muscle.15.What’s the purpose of the last paragraph?A. To point out the significance of the study.B. To bring out the focus of follow-up studies.C. To discuss other factors affecting hibernation.D. To explain practical applications of the finding.二、七选五16.Make a difference at schoolBesides being a great place to learn, school offers a great opportunity to make friends, try new things, and give back to others.

Community Superheroes to the Rescue.BI was at a new school in a new state and needed something solid to stand on: a place to feel grounded. I also needed to do laundry, so I walked to a nearby self-service laundry and stuffed a machine with my clothes. As I struggled to close the washer door, the woman working behind the counter told me to give it a good hit with my hand. The washer did its job, yet even after an hour, the dryer seemed to have barely warmed my clothes. I left, having decided to air-dry them on my car in the August heat.A month later, I learned her name was Sandy, which she told me after I’d helped her stop a washing machine from moving across the floor. I was grading poems at a table when one of the washers broke loose and skipped an inch into the air. I jumped to the machine and held on while she unplugged it. The next week, Sandy told me dryer No. 8 was the fastest.It went on like this. I’d do laundry once a week, usually Thursday or Friday. Sandy worked Tuesday through Saturday and we’d talk small while I folded clothes. She told me about her son and his grades, as well as the new dog they’d just adopted. She was fascinated that I was studying poetry. She teased (开玩笑) that it was harder making a living as a poet than as a laundry attendant. Even then I knew she was probably right.I began to recognize others there: workers taking breaks by the door, a mother and her baby, and even some delivery drivers. But Sandy was the center of my community. For nearly three years and almost every week, I’d do laundry and talk with her. We checked on each other, expecting the other to be there. We asked where the other had gone when we missed a week. There was a note of concern for the other’s absence, a note of joy at their return.I’d found a place to stand on solid ground.24. Why did the author leave with his wet clothes?A. He liked the August heat better.B. He had to go back to the meeting.C. He wanted to show off his new car.D. He didn’t think the dryer worked well.25. Why did Sandy tell the author to use dryer No. 8?A. She was warm-hearted.B. She needed a volunteer.C. She wanted to thank him.D. She was sorry for the mess.26. What did Sandy think of a career in poetry?A. It was harder to fulfill.B. It was really fascinating.C. It was badly-paid work.D. It needed a lot of effort.27. What can be inferred about the author from the passage?A. He formed a close friendship with Sandy.B. He made a lot of friends in college.C. He expected Sandy to do laundry for him.D. He often wrote to Sandy after graduation.CElectric vehicles (EVs) are widely considered a strong weapon in efforts against global warming. But are they like what people believe? The Radiant Energy Group (REG) stated effects of EVs vary with countries. In some nations, EVs lead to the release of more carbon gases than gasoline cars. The group reckoned gas emissions (释放) caused by a gasoline vehicle and from charging an EV. Countries where charging an EV is cleaner than driving a gasoline-powered car use a lot of nuclear or solar power.Sales of electric cars are rising the fastest in Europe. Data from REG suggests EVs in Poland actually create more carbon emissions because their electrical systems depend so much on coal. In other European countries, however, EVs result in fewer emissions. The countries with the biggest carbon gas reduction use much clean power. The first was Switzerland at, 100 percent carbon reductions over gasoline vehicles.Germany and Spain create lots of electricity from the sun and wind. But the sun and wind don’t add to a country’s electrical system equally throughout the day. For this reason, carbon emissions saved by driving an EV aren’t fixed. Charging in the afternoon, when there’s more sun and wind, saves 16 to 18 percent more carbon than at night when electrical systems are more likely to be using gas or coal.The gap in emissions between electric and, gasoline-powered vehicles has narrowed in recent years. In Europe, carmakers have been required to meet EU CO2 emissions of performance standards. They’ve made their gasoline engines more sufficient, As a result, carbon emissions of new gasoline- powered cars in Europe have fallen an average of 25 percent in the past years. But EV sales in Europe are backed by government spending and rules against new gasoline engine cars after 2035. Major automakers have set targets to sell mainly EVs in Europe in the coming years.28. What does the underlined word “reckoned” mean in paragraph 1?A. Increased.B. Calculated.C. Banned.D. Prevented.29. What affects carbon emissions of EVs according to paragraph 3?A. The country where they’re made.B. Facilities producing clean power.C. The time they are being charged.D. Technology used by electrical systems.30. What causes sales of EVs to rise quickly in Europe?A. Support of official policies.B. Concern about global warming.C. Standards of gasoline cars.D. Advertisements from carmakers.31. Which can be the best title for the text?A. What Benefits Do EVs Bring?B. Will EVs Replace Gasoline Cars in Europe?C. How Do EVs Affect Carbon Emissions?D. Do Electric Cars Really Help the Environment?DPoet Wads worth Longfellow said “music is the universal language of mankind”, and there’s growing evidence that he was right. New research shows people with Alzheimer’s (老年痴呆) disease often respond to familiar music orJonathan Graff-Radford, Doctor of Medicine, explains on The Mayo Clinic website why this may be: “Musical memories are often preserved in Alzheimer’s patients because key brain areas linked to musical memory are relatively undamaged by the disease.”When English senior Ted Mc Dermott was diagnosed with Alzheimer in 2016, his son Simon Mc Dermott found Ted became verbally and physically violent as the disease progressed. Grateful for the resources provided by the Alzheimer’s Society, Simon and 80-year-old Ted made videos of their daily car duets (二重唱) for a fundraising “Singing for the Brain” program in 2019. Truly remarkable, considering that some days Ted didn’t recognize Simon.The songs brought them to the attention of the public. In just a few months their efforts had considerable success on YouTube, raising over £100,000, and resulting in a contract with Decca Records for 80-year-old Ted. Although Ted has begun to decline a little in the last years, he always remembers the words to his favorite songs and is happy to go with Simon daily in the car to sing.Different music-related programs and projects are offered by the U. K. Alzheimer’s Society organizations. These programs are designed for people with Alzheimer to provide mental stimulation in a supportive social environment.Social engagement and keeping your brain active, along with a healthy diet and exercising, may seem like obvious good habits to follow for your health in general. They’ve also been proven to be factors in reducing the risk of developing Alzheimer.It’s never too late to start taking care of your body and your brain—so make music appreciation or singing part of the routine of your loved one struggling with Alzheimer. As William Shakespeare said, “If music be the food of love, play on.”32. What does the underlined word “flagging” mean in paragraph 1?A. Getting worse.B. Doing well.C. Developing slowly.D. Changing quickly.33. Why is Dr. Johnathan’s post on the Internet mentioned in paragraph 2?A. To explain the cause of Alzheimer.B. To lead in the main topic of the text.C. To show the structure of the brain.D. To provide evidence for the research.34. How has the “Singing for the Brain” program benefited Ted?A. He has learned new life skills.B. He has recovered his memory.C. He has got enough fund for his disease.D. He has improved the quality of his later life.35. What is the text mainly about?A. 80-year-old Ted defeats Alzheimer’s disease.B. The power of music for Alzheimer’s patients.C. Poets inspire Alzheimer’s patients with music.D. A good habit to follow for your physical health.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)根据短文内容,从短文中的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

On this day, she disconnects from the digital world and focuses on real-life experiences. In the morning, she prepares breakfast for herself while listening to music. In the afternoon, she wanders through the park with friends and in the evening, they enjoy a meal together without touching their phones, engaged in deep conversation. Upon returning home, she spends the evening reading.Chen started the plan as she often felt “interrupted” by technology, ci ting moments of distraction (分心) like pop-up notifications, ring tones and repetitious warnings leading her to check for new messages, and feelings of information ov erload. “Occasionallydisconnecting from the network is like feeding the brain a day of vegetarian food,” Chen said. Unplug Day is part of her plan to combat information overload from overusing the phone and to rebuild her focus. In addition to this, she has started replacing short videos with longer ones and prioritizes reading in-depth news articles or books. “When friends gather and everyone is glued to their phones, it makes me uncomfortable,” Chen said, adding that burying herself in social media prevented her from completing work as planned, leading to psychological burdens and a decreasing focus.It’s become a common situation where modern people might unconsciously use the time spent waiting at traffic lights to watch a short video or constantly check out a trending topic upon receiving a push notification from an app. To prevent this sense of being “controlled” by mobile devices, some young Chinese like Chen are experimenting with digital minimalism and are discovering positive outcomes from their efforts. Technology should bring us joy, not reduce the time we spend with family or increase our anxiety. Our goal is to control technology rather than letting it control us.4. What can we learn about Unplug DayA. It is a day for reading.B. It is a day without phones.C. It is a day away from the Internet.D. It is a day to spend withfriends.5. What does the underlined word “combat” in paragraph 2 meanA. Range.B. Cancel.C. Obtain.D. Prevent.6. What is the direct impact of over-involvement in social mediaA. Tasks’ delays.B. Stress from peers.C. Mental problems.D. A decreasing focus.7. What does the author suggest people do in the last paragraphA. Enjoy the benefits of technology.B. Decrease the time spent on digital devices.C. Remove the apps informing new messages.D. Watch longer videos while waiting at traffic lights.CHoney is a simple pleasure. It’s easy to forget, while enjoying its luxurious sweetness on a slice of buttered toast, that it is the end-product of a complicated production line involving advanced biological machinery and thousands of skilled workers.Honey starts out as nectar (花蜜), a solution of various sugars that flowering plants produce to attract insects like butterflies and all kinds of bees. Most of these visitors drink it down on the spot as nutrition for themselves. A food-hunting worker bee, though, does things differently. The bee stores the nectar in its honey stomach rather than digesting it. The stomach can hold a lot of nectar, up toalmost half the bee’s unloa ded body mass, and filling it may require a thousand flower visits. The transformation of nectar into honey begins while the bee is still on the wing, as the honey stomach produces enzymes (酶) that break down the larger, complex sugar molecule (分子) into smaller ones.On arrival back at the hive, where bees live and work, the bee unloads the nectar by giving the sugary solution to other workers, who pass it back and forth between each other, adding more enzymes each time. Once it is sufficiently sticky, the mixture is laid down in the beeswax cells of the honeycomb and the workers continue the drying process by fanning it with their wings. Only when the water content has been reduced to about 18 percent (from about 75 percent in the original nectar) do they seal the cells with beeswax lids. At this point , it is well and truly honey.An average hive produces about 11 kg of honey in a season, which requires the bees to fly over 1.5 million kilometers between them. A standard jar of honey requires about 80,000 km. The effort that has gone into making honey is worth remembering when spreading it onto toast —it can surely only add to the pleasure.8. Why does the worker bee store the nectar in its stomachA. To digest better.B. To absorb its nutrition.C. To keep it for its future food.D. To share it with other bees.9. What can be inferred from paragraph 3A. The cells are sealed by sticky solution.B. Producing honey requires teamwork.C. The drying work is done by female bees.D. It’s critical to maintain water percentage.10. How is the last paragraph developedA. By listing figures.B. By giving definitions.C. By making comparisons.D. By providing examples.11. Which may be a suitable title for the textA. Skilled WorkersB. A Simple PleasureC. Advanced and Intelligent CreaturesD. Luxurious Sweetness from Delicate WorkDTitled “A new future of work: The race to deploy (部署) AI and raise skills in Europe and beyond”, the report highlights the potential for AI to transform the global workforce by 2030, China Media Group reported on Sunday.The report suggests that generative AI could automate nearly one-third of working hours in the US and Europe, leading to a polarization of the labor market. High-skilled, high-wage jobs may face talent shortages, while low-wage industries could experience asurplus (剩余) of labor. The percentage of high-wage jobs is expected to rise by 1.8 percent, while low-wage jobs may decrease by 1.4 percent. Germany, according to the report, is projected to have around 3 million jobs affected by AI by 2030, representing 7 percent of its total employment. Office jobs in administrative sectors of companies and public institutions are expected to be hit the hardest, accounting for 54 percent of all AI-impacted positions. In addition, the report stresses the importance of upskilling and reskilling the workforce to meet the challenges and opportunities presented by AI, suggesting that individuals can adapt by actively participating in training programs. McKinsey researchers call on manager s to invest heavily in employee education and training, saying that without a significant improvement in the skill levels of the workforce, AI cannot fully release its potential.The rapid development and widespread application of AI are unavoidable trends, and the potential risks and issues must be addressed through development. Improving the governance system is not about restricting AI development but promoting its healthy growth. It is essential to establish a legal and policy framework suited to the development. The necessities are highlighted that a policy environment should be created which is beneficial to AI research, development, and application and thesafety responsibilities and accountability mechanisms for AI systems should be clarified, ensuring trackability and repairability of responsible parties.12. What is paragraph 2 of the text mainly aboutA. The threats posed by AI.B. The future workforce training.C. The advantages of AI workforce.D. The potential effect of AI on workforce.13. What is emphasized to meet the challengeA. Education and training.B. Skills of management.C. Government investment.D. Policy and opportunities.14. What is the author’s attitude towards AI developmentA. Unclear.B. Dismissive.C. Objective.D. Doubtful.15. Which column of a news website may the text be taken fromA. Fashion.B. Health.C. Technology.D. Service.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。

AProduced by Hunan Satellite TV, Where Are We Going, Dad? invites five male celebrities (名人)from different fields and their children to spend quality time together in new environments while accomplishing various survival tasks.Since it first aired in January,2013,Where Are We Going, Dad? has been sweeping the whole nation and has become China’s most popular show, averaging more than 600 million viewers each week and 640 million downloads online. Eventhe China Daily, the official mouthpiece of the Chinese government praised its success, ―The deep affection on display in the show is heart-warming.‖But what accounts for the show’s popularity?Part of the appeal is the chance to peek(窥探) into the lives of popular Chinese celebrities and their children. Audiences are delighted to watch the failed attempts of celebrity dads making dinner, combing hair, and disciplining children. At the same time, the cute kids themselves and their authentic and entertaining behaviors are very impressive and attractive."Another reason for the success of the show lies in the fact that it is a reexamination of the father's role in traditional Chinese culture," said Xie Dikui, general director of the show. I n a society still influenced by the concept that ―men rule outside and women inside.‖, many Chinese fathers are poor at expressing their feelings toward their children. Usually, they appear strict and distant. But on the show, we see fathers are much gentler on their kids and more involved in their upbringing. This show raises an important question for modern Chinese society—what is the role of fathers in today’s China?A fascinating part of the show is that you can see many parenting styles. The five fathers on the show all have very diverse parenting styles, which is great because it shows people there isn’t just one way to raise a child.But Chinese parents increasingly realize that discussing and respecting their children’s choices may be a more appropriate way to prepare them for modern society. Meanwhile, the show can remind adults of their own childhood and the love of father. For those parents, they will rethink their own responsibility as parents and understand their kids better.26. The second paragraph is mainly about _______.A. the show’s successB. the reason for the show’s successC. the China Daily’s praiseD. deep affection between fathers and their kids27. The chief function of ―But what accounts for the show’s popularity?‖ (in Paragraph 2) is _____.A. to sum up the main idea of the paragraphB. to introduce a new topicC. to arouse reader’s interestD. to express strong feelings28. What can be inferred from the fourth paragraph?A. Traditionally, children are left to be brought up by mothers alone in China.B. The role of fathers is changing in China.C. Modern Chinese fathers wonder how to treat their children.D. More and more mothers go out to work.29. Which of the following is NOT the reason for the show’s success?A. People are curious about celebrities’ life and their kids.B. The show makes people reconsider father’s role in today’s China.C. The show displays various parenting styles.D. The audience think highly of the cele brities’ parenting styles on the show.30. What is the best title of the passage?A. The great success of Where Are We Going, Dad?B. Why is Where Are We Going, Dad so popular?C. What is the role of fathers in today’s China?D. Various parenting styles in ChinaBFoxes and farmers have never got on well. These small dog-like animals have long been accused of killing farm animals. They are officially classified as harmful and farmers try to keep their numbers down by shooting or poisoning them.Farmers can also call on the services of their local hunt to control the fox population. Hunting consists of pursuing a fox across the countryside, with a group of specially trained dogs, followed by men and women riding horses. When the dogs eventually catch the fox they kill it or a hunter shoots it.People who take part in hunting think of as a sport; they wear a special uniform of red coats and white trousers, and follow strict codes of behavior. But owning a horse and hunting regularly is expensive, so most hunters are wealthy.It is estimated that up to 100,000 people watch or take part in fox hunting. But over the last couple of decades the number of people opposed to fox hunting, because they think it is cruel, has risen sharply. Nowadays it is rare for a hunt to pass off without some kind of conflict between hunters and hunt saboteurs (阻拦者). Sometimes these incidents lead to violence, but mostly saboteurs attempt to stop the hunt by misleading riders and disturbing the trail of the fox’s smell, which the d ogs follow.Noisy conflicts between hunters and saboteurs have become so common that they are almost as much a part of hunting as running after foxes itself. But this year supporters of fox hunting face a much bigger threat to their sport. A Labor Party Member of the Parliament(议会), Mike Foster, is trying to get Parliament to approve a new law which will make the hunting of wild animals with dogs illegal. If the law is passed, wild animals like foxes will be protected under the ban in Britain.31. Why are foxes considered as harmful animals?A. Because they can’t get on well with farmers.B. Because they are very cruel.C. Because they are shot by hunters.D. Because they kill farm animals.32. British hunters have been hunting foxes_________.A. for recreationB. for the benefit of the farmersC. to limit the fox populationD. to show off their wealth33. How do fox hunting saboteurs often prevent foxes being hunted?A. By means of violence.B. By confusing the fox hunters.C. By taking illegal action.D. By making laws.34. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A. Only the rich can be regular fox hunters.B. Hunters kill foxes by shooting or poisoning them.C. Hunting foxes has some rules to follow.D. More and more British people object to fox hunting.35. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. Mike Foster is a firm supporter of fox hunting.B. Fox hunters and saboteurs seldom have conflicts nowadays.C. The law to ban hunting wild animals will be passed in Britain this year.D. As a sport, fox hunting may disappear in Britain in the future.CSituated at the gate to the Tianjin Children's Welfare Institute, a government-run orphanage, the baby hatch ---also known as a babies' safety island --- allows desperate parents to leave unwanted newborns, press an alarm button, and depart anonymously. After a delay of about five minutes, someone from the institute will arrive to get the child.But facilities(设施) such as this have been under fire recently. While some people have approved of the idea, saying it protects the lives of unwanted children; critics argue that it encourages the immoral to abandon such babies, which is illegal in China.It's difficult to obtain statistics about the number of abandoned children in China, but the 2010 China Child Welfare Policy Report, released by the China Philanthropy Research Institute, estimated that 100,000 babies are abandoned every year, most of them with disabilities and illnesses. In July ,2013, when the Ministry of Civil Affairs launched a pilot project to set up baby hatches across China, Tianjin was one of the first cities to launch a facility and there were 24 baby hatches in 10 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions(地区). A further 18 regions are preparing to open facilities by the end of this year, according to the China Center for Children's Welfare and Adoption.―The baby hatch guards an unwanted baby from harm and increases its chances of survival,‖ said Xu Shuming, who is in charge of the reception of unwanted childrenand their following adoption at the Tianjin Children's Welfare Institute, is also in favor of the project. "Before the baby hatch came into use, the babies we took in were usually brought by the police. They had been found at bus stations, public rest rooms, or parks; it could be anywhere. One baby we received last year was almost frozen to death," she said. ―For our part, we hope parents will leave more information with their unwanted babies, such as medical records so that we can understand the real situation, avoid repeated medical checkups, and save time,‖ Xu said.36. A baby hatch is a place where .A. parents can leave their baby for some timeB. unwanted newborns can be left.C. unhealthy babies can be treated free of chargeD. the chances of babies’ survival can be increased37. The underlined phrase ―under fire‖ in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to .A. ignoredB. attackedC. supportedD. discussed 38.Why some people are against the baby hatch?A. Because it encourages parents to abandon the unwanted babies.B. Because it is illegal to abandon a baby in China.C. Because it wastes an amount of money.D. Because it protects unwanted babies.39. According to passage, we know ____________.A. All the people approve of the baby hatch.B. It's easy to figure out exactly the number of abandoned children in ChinaC. Most of the unwanted babies are in poor conditionD. There will be 42 baby hatches in China at the end of this year40. We can infer from the passage .A. Parents usually leave little information in case that they are found out.B. Less and less unwanted babies are abandoned in ChinaC. The police used to take charge of attending abandoned babiesD. The information left by parents may be of great help to protect unwantedbabiesDResearchers at the University of Kansas say that people can accurately judge 90 percent of a stranger's personality simply by looking at the person's shoes. "Shoes convey a thin but useful slice of information about their wearers," the authors wrote in the new study published in the Journal of Research in Personality. "Shoes serve a practical purpose, and also serve as nonverbal cues(线索)with symbolic messages. People tend to pay attention to the shoes they and others wear."Medical Daily notes that the number of detailed personality traits(特质)detected in the study include a person's general age, income, political tendency, and other personality traits, including someone's emotional stability. Lead researcher Omri Gillath said the judgments were based on the style, cost, color and condition of someone's shoes. In the study, 63 University of Kansas students looked at pictures showing 208 different pairs of shoes worn by the study's participants. Participants in the study were photographed in their most commonly worn shoes, and then filled out a personality questionnaire.So, what do your shoes say about your personality? Some of the results were expected: People with higher incomes most commonly wore expensive shoes, and flashier footwear was typically worn by outgoing people. However, some of the more specific results are interesting. For example, "practical and functional" shoes were generally worn by more "friendly" people, while ankle boots were more closely connected with "aggressive" personalities. The strangest of all may be that those who wore "uncomfortable looking" shoes tend to have "calm" personalities.And if you have several pairs of new shoes or take exceptional care of them, you may suffer from ―attachment anxiety,‖ spending too much time worrying about what other people think of your appearance. There was even a political calculation in the mix with wearing ―shabbier and less expensive‖ shoes.The researchers noted that some people will choose shoe styles to mask their actual personality traits, but researchers pointed out that volunteers were also likely to be unaware that their footwear choices were revealing deep insights into their personalities.41. By looking at a person’s shoes, it’s possible for people to___________.A. know the wearer thoroughlyB. estimate the wearer’s characterC. have exact cues about the wearer’s social sta tusD. judge the wearer’s educational background42. Which statement is Not true according to the passage?A. In the study, people’s personality traits were detected.B. In the study, participants wore 208 different shoes.C. In the study, 63 students were asked to fill out questionnaire about personality.D. In the study, judgments were made according to various characteristics ofpeople’s shoes.43. What can we know about the passage?A. Wealthy people favor shiny shoes.B. Calm people prefer shoes with uncomfortable appearance.C. Friendly people are likely to wear ankle boots.D. Outgoing people always wear shoes with practical functions.44. Taking exceptional care of new shoes shows that ____________.A. the owners care much about others’ opinions on their appearanceB. the owners are in a relaxed stateC. the owners are particular about their appearanceD. the owners have too many shoes to choose from45. What is the best title of the passage?A. How To Choose Suitable ShoesB. How To Judge People’s Personality TraitsC. People Are What They WearD.
