to clean up spills (洒出物) so often.Lily thought his cup would be less prone to spill if it had “legs”,so she drew a picture of such a cup for her dad,Joe Born.“He took it seriously and told me,Thats your invention.Sign and date it,which I did,” she said.“We went to Grandma and Grandpas house and made a prototype.This was just a plastic one,but it worked!” Later,Lily noticed her dad was always spilling coffee on his computers keyboard,so she made him a ceramic cup with legs.He loved it,too.Though her family enjoyed using the cups,Lily didnt see them as more than gifts and didnt place much value on them.She was also struggling in school.“I was afraid of failing fourth grade.It had kind of destroyed my confidence,to be honest,” Lily said.“One day I asked my dad,What am I good at? He asked me if I wanted to put the cups into production.It would make me see being an inventor was a real thing and something to be proud of.”The Borns flew to Jingdezhen,China to find a factory that would produce the cups and make more prototypes.“Weve sold something like 1,000 cups,” Lily said.“People are buying them for elderly relatives and people with mobility issues.”As for Lily,doing business at such a young age helped her overcome her shyness.“Watching Lily blossom over this whole adventure has been an excitement for me as a dad,” Joe said.“I just cant put into words how good it feels to see her have confidence.”24.What does the underlined word “prone” in Paragraph 2 mean?A.Unlike.B.Eager.C.Difficult.D.Likely.25.Why did Lily ask her dad the question in Paragraph 3?A.She wasnt

achieved through teamwork.B.Its better to take action before its too late.C.A good idea and action result in success.D.A youth is to be regarded with respect.C主题语境:人与社会语篇类型:说明文If you frequently google language-related questions,youve probably seen an advertisement for Grammarly,an automated grammar-checker.Grammarly claims that it has the ability not only to fix mistakes,but also to improve style and polish too.Does it achieve what it claims to?Maybe not.Artificial-intelligence systems like Grammarly are trained with data.Developers also manually add certain rules to the patterns Grammarly has taught itself.The software then looks at a users essay:if a string of words seems ungrammatical,it tries to spot how the acknowledged mistake most closely resembles one from its training inputs.All this shows how far artificial intelligence (AI) is from the human kind.Computers outsmart humans at problems that can be solved with pure maths,such as chess.Advances in language technology have been impressive in,for example,speech recognition,which involves another sort of statistical guesswhether or not a stretch of sound matches a certain string of words.But grammar is the real magic of language.And machines are no match for humans.Computers can analyze grammatical sentences fairly well,labeling things like nouns and verb phrases.But they struggle with sentences that are difficult to analyze,precisely because they are ungrammatical.To correct such essays requires knowing what the writer intended.But computers dont work in meaning or intention.They work in formulae.Humans,by contrast,can usually understand even rather damaged syntax,because of the ability to guess the contents of other minds.Grammar-checking computers focus on not how bad humans are with language,but just how good.28.Whats the text mainly about?A.What AI system Grammarly is.B.What problem AI has with grammar.C.How AI system works on grammar.D.How AI outsmarts humans in language.29.Why do computers outsmart mankind at chess?A.Because they are trained with data.B.Because they have taught themselves.C.Because they easily spot mistakes.D.Because maybe sound matches words.30.Which of the following can be done well by AI?A.Analyzing ungrammatical sentences.B.Figuring out meaning and intention.C.Identifying nouns and verb phrases.D.Understanding damaged syntax.31.Whats the writers attitude toward grammar-checking computers?A.Doubtful.B.Favorable.C.Indifferent.D.Worried.D主题语境:人与社会语篇类型:说明文Scientists from Imperial College London have found that using virtual reality (VR) headsets can reduce sensitivity to pain,by immersing (沉浸) people in icy Arctic scenery.In a study published in Pain Reports,a team from Imperial used VR video to reduce peoples sensitivity to ongoing pain and sharp shooting pain.According to the researchers,the findings add to the growing evidence for the potential of VR technology to help patients with long-term pain.Beyond the distracting effect,they think VR may actually cause the bodys own inbuilt pain-fighting systems to start working.Dr Sam Hughes,the first author on the paper,said,“Our work suggests that VR may be getting involved in processes in the key parts of our inbuilt pain-fighting systems and are helpful in regulating the spread of increased sensitivity to pain.”To test their theory,researchers applied a cream containing capsaicin (辣椒素)the chemical that makes your mouth bumto 15 healthy volunteers.The capsaicin makes the skin more sensitive to painful stimuli (刺激) like a very small electric shock.In the first trial,participants were then asked to rate the pain caused by the capsaicin cream on a scale of 0-100 (from “no pain” to “worst pain possible”) while either watching a VR scene of Arctic exploration through a headset,or looking at a still image of an Arctic scene on a monitor.Under the same conditions,they were also asked to say when a stimulus applied directly to the skin area is considered as painful.The team found that ongoing pain was reduced following VR immersion,and that sensitivity to painful stimuli was also reduced.However,the same effect was not seen in people who looked at still images of the polar environment.They explain that while the findings made at the beginning are encouraging,the study is limited by the small number of healthy participants,without long-term pain.However,the researchers believe VR could hold a bright future to treat patients with long-term pain who have poor inbuilt pain fighting systems.32.How can VR possibly help long-term pain sufferers?A.By making their pain-fighting systems function.B.By drawing their attention to fighting pain.C.By controlling the spread of pain sensitivity.D.By slowing down their brains reaction to pain.33.Which step comes first in their theory testing?A.Making a capsaicin cream.B.Putting on virtual reality headsets.C.Applying capsaicin cream to the skin.D.Looking at pictures on a computer screen.34.What conclusion can be drawn from the trial?A.Still images helped to ease peoples pain.B.VR immersion was the key factor in pain reduction.C.Healthy people were less sensitive to VR than pain sufferers.D.Capsaicin cream brought people more pain than electronic stimulus.35.What does the last paragraph imply?A.The team feels confident about future VR treatment.B.The researchers will work on the side effect of VR.C.VR treatment can be applied in other medical fields.D.The trial only has an effect on short-term pain patients.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。选项中有两项为多余选项。主题语境:人与社会语篇类型:说明文To many of us,art is obviously a kind of human expression of creativity.But in recent years,you may have read news about artificial intelligence (AI) creating its own art,such as painting or writing poems.Some people worry that AI might someday replace artists.36 Many artists today are turning AI into a useful tool.Instead of replacing artists,AI is bringing artists more possibilities. A piece of music created by AI recently attracted attention.AI was used to turn the novel virus into a piece of nearly two-hour long music based on its protein structure.The project was led by Markus Buehler,an American musician and MIT professor of engineering.He assigned (指定) a unique note to each amino acid (氨基酸) in the protein.37 Listeners found the project to be “mind-blowing”.“It allows me to see the virus from a new angle,” said one listener.38 As The Verge wrote,“AI helps artists play around in unpredictable ways,creating things beyond what they have ever thought was possible before.” 39 For example,in the comic and animation industries,there are now AI tools that can automatically (自动地) colour in black-and-white line drawings.Although the results can be unpredictable and require a little cleanup,it “could give artists room to experiment,by cutting down the time it takes to colour each frame (画面)”,said Joao Do Lago,animator of Netflixs Castlevania. As Peter Ward wrote for The Culture Trip,art of every kind has always been influenced by technological breakthroughs.40  A.The AI then translated these notes into music.B.AI has become an important part of our everyday life.C.But this worry seems to be unnecessary,at least for now.D.AI can become a useful tool to bring change to the art world.E.Besides the music industry,AI has entered the world of poetry as well.F.This surprising marriage between science and art could not be achieved without AI.G.Apart from co-creating imaginative works,AI can also help artists avoid repeating tasks.第三部分语言运用(共两节,满分30分)第一节(共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分)
