Mother continually warned against it, and kept fresh in my mind the details of each drowning in the river. But the Y. M. C. A. pool was safe.I had a childhood fear of water. This started when I was three years old and father took me to the beach. The huge waves knocked me down and swept over me.The pool was quiet. I was afraid of going in all alone, so I sat on the side of the pool to wait fbr others. Then came a big boy. He yelled, nHi9 Skinny! How'd you like to be ducked?” With that he picked me up and threw me into the deep end. I landed in a sitting position, and swallowed water. But I was not frightened out of my wits-when my feet hit the bottom, I would make a big jump, come out of the surface. It seemed a long way down. I gathered all my strength when I landed and made what I thought was a great spring upwards. Then I opened my eyes and saw nothing but water. I tried to yell but no sound came out. I went down, down, endlessly.When I came to consciousness, I found myself lying on the bed in the hospital.I never went back to the pool. I avoided water whenever 1 could. This misadventure stayed with me as the years rolled by. It deprived me of the joy of boating and swimming. Finally, I decided to get an instructor. Piece by piece, he built a swimmer. Several months later, the instructor was finished, but I was not. Sometimes the terror would return.This went on until July. I swam across the Lake Wentworth. Only once did the terror return. When I was in the middle of the lake, I put my face under and saw nothing but bottomless water. I laughed and said, "Well, Mr. Terror, what do you think you can do to me?” I had conquered my fear of water.24.

Goodbye, Mr. TerrorB. Hello, Childhood FearC. A Swimming AdventureD. My Passion for SwimmingCThe Neurosurgical Simulation (神经夕卜科模拟)and Artificial Intelligence Learning Centre hired 70 medical students to perform virtual brain tumor removals.Researchers randomly assigned students to receive instruction and feedback by either an AI tutor or a remote expert instructor, with a third control group receiving no instruction. An Al-powered tutor called the Virtual Operative Assistant (VOA) used a machine learning algorithm to teach safe and efficient surgical technique and provided personalized feedback, while a deep learning system and a team of experts assessed student performance. In the other group, remote instructors watched a live feed of the surgical simulations and provided feedback based on the student's performance.The researchers found that students who received VOA instruction and feedback learned surgical skills 2.6 times faster and achieved 36% better performance compared to those who received instruction and feedback from remote instructors. Surgical skill plays an important role in patient outcomes both during and after brain surgery. VOA may be an effective way to increase neurosurgeon performance, improving patient safety while reducing the burden on human instructors. "Artificially intelligent tutors like the VOA may become a valuable tool in the training of the next generation of neurosurgeons J says Rolando Del Maestro, senior author of the study in JAMA Network Open. "The VOA significantly improved expertise while fostering an excellent learning environment. Ongoing studies are assessing how in-person instructors and Al-powered intelligent tutors can most effectively be used together to improve the mastery of neurosurgical skills.”"Intelligent tutoring systems can use a variety of simulation platforms to provide almost unlimited chances for repetitive practice without the constraints imposed by the availability of supervision/9 says Ali Fazlollahi, the study's first author. "With continued research, increased development, and dissemination 值传)of intelligent tutoring systems, we can be better prepared fbr ever-evolving future challenges.”27. What can we learn about VOA?A. It is a kind of Al-powered tutor.B. It will gradually replace in-person instructors.C. It definitely improves patients1 safety and reduces their burden.D. It has successfully helped students remove patients1 brain tumor.28. Whafs the author's attitude towards VOA?A. Critical.B. Ambiguous. C. Supportive. D. Indifferent.29. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. Ali Fazlollahi is the only author of the study.B. Traditional tutoring systems need fewer observations.C. Intelligent tutoring systems have largely been used in medical education.D. Intelligent tutoring systems still need more time to develop and broadcast. 31. Whafs the best title for the text?A. AI Helps Medical EducationB. AI Develops Well in MedicineC. AI Replaces Human InstructorsD. A New Study Improves People's LifeDThe world's only captive (圈养)brown giant panda, Qizai, has been taking more exercise in preparation for the upcoming breeding (繁育)season. He is encouraged to stand up by keepers who place food on the end of a stick held just out of his reach. Panda experts believe that strengthening the giant animafs legs will improve his ability to breed successfully.The world's first brown panda was discovered in 1985 in the Qinling Mountains. All photographs of wild brown pandas were taken in the area, which they were named after. The Qinling giant panda, first recognized in 2005, is a subspecies of giant panda. As well as its brown and white fur, it has a smaller and rounder skull and a shorter nose than the more familiar Sichuan giant panda.Qizai, whose name means the seventh son, was found as two-month-old cub, weak and alone, by researchers in a nature reserve in the Qinling Mountains. For his safety, the researchers took him to the nearby Shanxi Rare Wildlife Rescue Centre where he was given medical treatment and fed on milk from other pandas.There are 19 864 giant pandas in the wild, according to World Wildlife. They live mainly in bamboo forests high in the mountains of south-west China, mostly in Sichuan province, but they can also be found in Shanxi province, where Qizai is from. He was previously thought to be the only living brown panda in the world until a wild panda with the same colour pattern was spotted roaming in a nature reserve in Shanxi in March, 2018. Up to now spotting brown pandas in the wild has taken place no more than ten times, all of which were in the central Qinling Mountains.32. Why do keepers put food beyond Qizai's reach?A. To prepare him for the return to the wild. B. To train him to amuse zoo visitors.C.To help him exercise his legs.D.To ensure him a balanced diet.33. What can we infer about Qizai from the text?A.He was first found in 2005.B.He is a Qinling giant panda.C.His seventh son is 2 months old.D.He was the only living brown panda.34. What conclusion can be drawn from the last paragraph?A. The sighting of wild brown pandas is a rare happening.B. The Qinling Mountains are home to most wild pandas. C. The number of giant pandas is growing rapidly.D. All giant pandas are of the same colour. 35 . Whafs the text mainly about?A. Life of captive pandas.B. Endangered giant pandas.C- The Qinling giant panda.D. Rare wildlife protection.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10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。There is a lot to learn about the unusual habits and characteristics of the British people when you visit London for the first time. 36 Have you noticed that British people are indirect when we speak? Here are some examples. If the phone is ringing, we won't ask someone to answer it; instead, we will simply state “the phone is ringing in the hope that somebody will answer it.37 In Britain, we might say that “is anyone else cold?” and expect the person nearest the open window to close it.When it comes to paying the bill, expect anything. After a social outing, there is no common convention as to who will pay the bill. Even if someone has invited you out, that doesn't mean they will pay fbr you.

It is common, especially at weekends, to find families and groups with people of all ages together. 40 Some pubs will provide games and books fbr people to play and entertain themselves as they would at home, while others will put on live music or even a comedy show.A.
