Students 17 entering college in 2023.Francis Kere was named as the winner of the 2022 Pritzker prize, architecture's highest international honor. He is the first African architect to be recognized in the influential award's 43-year history.“Francis Kere's entire body of work shows us the power of materiality （物质性）rooted in place,“ said the Pritzker jury （评委会），“His buildings, for and with communities, are directly of those communitiesin their making, their materials, their programs and their unique characters. They have presence without pretence and an impact shaped by grace.”Born in Gando in 1965, Kere was the first in his community to attend school, sent away at the age of seven, after which he won a scholarship to study woodwork in Germany. He saw slim chances for a career in carpentry and switched to architecture at the Technical University of Berlin. For his final project he designed a primary school for his home village-and set about fundraising and mobilizing friends and family to see it built. He thought he owed a lot to his community. The project was realized in 2000, for about £20,000.Kere's Gando primary school set out the basic principles that would go on to define his work, using earth bricks made on site, topped with a perforated （有孔的）ceiling crowned by a thin "flying roof*. He suspended his metal canopy （顶篷）above the classrooms to draw cool air in through the building's side windows and release hot air through the holes in the ceiling. The whole village was involved in construction, beginning a cooperative model of practice that he has continued ever since. The school won an Aga Khan award in 2004, taking试卷第2页，共11页Kere to international fame and prompting him to found his practice in Berlin the following year.One invitation after another, Kere continues to experiment with natural alternatives to modern materials and systems, "I am constantly looking,“ he said.

Determined and energetic.D. Modest and courageous.“Robots are klutzes/' says Ken Goldberg, an engineer AI expert at the University of California, Berkeley. A computer can easily defeat a human grandmaster at the game of chess by coming up with better moves. Yet a robot has trouble picking up an actual chess piece.Though computers have advanced by leaps and bounds since 1980s, babies and kids still beat machines at certain types of tasks.The first task. Robots face three challenges in grabbing an object. Number one is the ability to locate an object. Even with advanced cameras and sensors that measure distance, robots still get confused by anything “shiny or transparent J Goldberg notes. The second challenge is control. A robot's cameras and sensors won't always be in perfect symc （同步） with its moving "hand”. And physics poses the final challenge. To grasp something, you must understand how that object could shift when you touch it. Physics predicts that motion. But on small scales, this can be unpredictable, for very tiny bumps on the floor or the object may change the motion （运动）.Despite these challenges, humans grasp things all the time. Millions of years of evolution provided brains and bodies with ways to adapt. To help robots learn "robust （强有 力的）grips”, Goldberg's team set up a virtual world DexNet where the AI model receive training. The DexNet contains more than 1, 600 different virtual 3-D objects and five million different ways to grab them. To be more like the real world, the team threw in some randomness. For each grasp, they shifted either the object or grabber just a little. After completing the training, a robot can figure out its own robust grasp for a real-world object it has never seen before.Thanks to research like this, robots are getting less of “the klutze. Currently robots have trouble with other tasks including getting around the world, understanding people and thinking of new ideas. With engineers, work and efforts, it's expected that someone will design a graceful robot or even an AI model with common sense. "For now, though, if you want to beat a robot at chess, make it play on a real, physical chess board." Goldberg adds. 8. Which of the following is closest to the meaning of “klutzes”?A.Competent competitors.B.Educated persons.C.Clumsy persons.D.Public figures.9. Which is the challenge for robots picking up stuff?A.They are unable to adapt to change.B.They have little knowledgeof physics.C.They fail to notice transparent objects.D.Cameras and sensorsare out of sync.10. What can we learn from the DexNet?A. Researchers train robots at random there.B. Robots learn to grasp stuff in the virtual world.C. DexNet is set up to help robots learn to think.D. Robots are trained there to get around the world.11. Whafs the tone of Goldberg in the text?A. Serious.B. JoyfulC. FormalD. Humorous试卷第4页，共11页We're living in the age of digital overload. This culture of constant connection takes a toll （造成损失）both professionally and personally. We are kept busy but can't concentrate. We keep constantly checking our laptops, tablets, and phones with stress, for fear of missing out. Are we addicted? How to regain our focus?The solutions of two experts, Larry Rosen, a psychologist, and Samuel, a technologist, offer useful approaches separately on how we can begin to tackle this huge and growing challenge.In one of his studies, Rosen's colleague Nancy Cheever brought 163 students into a lecture hall, asked them to sit without talking, doing work, or using their phones, and then assessed their anxiety over the next hour. Although light smartphone users showed no change, moderate users experienced initial alarm that leveled off, and those accustomed to checking their phones all day long felt their anxiety rise immediately and continue to increase. Some people refer to the overuse of digital devices as an addiction. But since most of us don't appear to gain much pleasure from the behavior-a defining feature of addiction-Rosen doesn't classify it as such.How do we calm the anxiety and thereby avoid the distraction? Rosen recommends using behavioral principles to disconnect yourself from your digital devices. Allow yourself to check all modes of e-communication, but then shut everything down and silence your phone. Set an alarm for 15 minutes, and when it rings, give yourself one minute for a tech check-in. Repeat this process until you are comfortable increasing your off-grid time to an hour or several hours.Samuel argues that "Turning off' is simply not a well-founded solution in the digital age. Technology was not the problem; our use of it was. We were not using tools designed to make online communications as focused and productive as possible. Now the first step is to abandon the myth （荒诞的说法）of "keeping up”. Instead, your goals should be to sort and limit the information you receive and to streamline the work of reading, responding to, and sharing what matters. Then, as for E-mail, news consumption and posting, automation offers huge benefits. Outlook, Gmail, and most other major e-mail tools will allow you to set rules and filters.12. What do we know from Rosen's studies about phone users?A. Light users experience slight anxiety initially.B , Anxiety of moderate users remains steady later on.C. Overuse of the phone is actually a type of addiction.D. Operating the phone brings users pleasure.13. What can be inferred from SamuePs suggestions?A. "Turning ofP, has been proved applicable.B , Used correctly, technology serves its purpose.C. Not keeping up likely costs you vital information.D. Digital tools help us sort out information but limit us.14. What can we learn by comparing the two solutions?A. Each solution is founded on the expert's profession.B , Rosen's strategy has an obvious edge over SamueFs.C. Both of the solutions are based on behavioral principles.D. Their common target is to conquer digital distraction.15 . Which is the best title for the passage?A . Break the Top Myth of Tech useB. The Lost Art of ConcentrationC. Tune out and Focus inD. Employ Technology to Focus二、七选五7 ways to stand out from the crowdIn many industries and professions, competition for jobs continues to intensify.16. But chances are, so will several other candidates. Here are some ideas, based ontrue stories, about how to stand out from the crowd?Add a personal touch.Reaching out to your potential employer following an interview, especially if it's in a thoughtful way, will help you to be the candidate that leaves a lasting impression. 17It's an old-fashioned courtesy which, done well, is likely to gain approval. 18.Referencing parts of the conversation also shows you were fully engaged throughout the process.Do your research.How do you answer the question “What do you know about us"? It's boring if you justrecite the About Us page. Read the annual report instead. That way you get a feel for the type试卷第6页，共11页of language the company uses and you're already tapping into their DNA.The annual report helps candidates to understand what really matters to the organisation.19. And then you can play those back at interview.20A related soft skill that can help you stand out from the crowd is "learning agility”a willingness and enthusiasm to move with the times, take on new skills and expand into new areas as business requirements and priorities evolve. What we learn at school often doesn't equip us with the tools for the jobs of tomorrow, so you need to be able to demonstrate evidence of your willingness and ability to learn new skills, and adapt or take on new challenges and working patterns.A. Demonstrate a growth mindsetB , Show some courage and ability to bounce back quicklyC. Sure, you may tick all the right boxes in terms of qualificationsCandidates can stand out to a company by asking bold questionsD. A simple way to do this is to compose a handwritten thank you noteGet a good idea of the keywords that characterise the company's approachE. Better still, it gives you another chance to get your name in front of your potential employer三、完形填空As a pediatrician （儿科医生）and host of a parenting program, I come across a lot of parenting stories.
