阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C 和 D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答
题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Rich life experiences have helped make up everything you are today.So just imagine how
many valuable experiences your elders can share with you.When you spend time volunteering
with seniors, you'll benefit just as much as they do!
We've put together some ideas for different ways to lend a hand, or a listening ear to
seniors.Remember, simply giving your time and conversation can sometimes mean the
most.
Visit an assisted living facility
One of the most meaningful things you can do for someone in an assisted living facility
is share some quality time together.Whether you're going to see a neighbor or loved one, call
ahead to plan a time to drop by.Even if your days fill up quickly, just a quick hello can
brighten someone's day.
Reach out locally
Chances are that there are seniors right in your own neighborhood who could use
your help.
•Some seniors' health prevents them from getting out.Keep them from feeling lonely
by going for a visit or bringing over a meal.
•Offer to do many around-the-house chores for the seniors.
Be a companion
There are plenty of seniors who could use some company! And there are many
programs and organizations that can match you up with the perfect senior friend in your area.
•With the Elder Helpers program, you can sign up to help in ways that fit your
interests and skills.
•You can join the Senior Corps program to help older seniors with daily tasks.
•You can also volunteer to help aging seniors through organizations such as the
National Council on Aging.Be a skillful talker
You can learn from your older friends—many of their experiences may surprise you!
But it can often be challenging to know just what to ask in order to start a conversation.
•Discover their passion：Does your friend love to cook? Ask them to share a favorite
family recipe.They'll welcome the opportunity to chat about it.
• Discover their skills ： Ask your friends about their skills and hobbies—sewing,
woodworking, writing.Request that they teach you a thing or two.
•Make some artwork：Turn select pages of your memory book into wall art for their room,
and so your friend can continuously recall good times.
21．What does the author intend to do through the text?
A．To explain how to make seniors happy.
B．To introduce the benefits of volunteering.
C．To encourage people to share experiences.
D．To give a guide for volunteering with seniors.
22．How many programs and organizations are mentioned?
A．2. B．3.
C．4. D．5.
23．What is the “Be a skillful talker” part about?
A．How to answer questions.
B．How to make up stories.
C．How to persuade the seniors.
D．How to start a conversation.
B
Like most people, I had a lot of time on my hands these past few years, and I
spent most of it on my phone.This, together with anxiety medication (药物治疗), has
made my brain weak.I've never had a very good memory, but by summer of 2021, I saw
the little memory that I did have disappear suddenly while searching “ben afleCk brther
bad 1.”
I grew frustrated.I couldn't remember the name of Joan Holloway's military husband
from Mad Men without looking it up, or the name of my college friend, who would
come into my dorm regularly to talk about how much he worked out.None of this was
especially useful or life-changing information, but I wanted to remember it without making
a shameful mess of my search history.
Inspired by a desire to impress myself and others, I decided to stop looking stuff up
online and see what happened.When I couldn't remember the character from Mad Men,
instead of instantly turning to my phone, I just sat there, thinking, very hard.(Aha! Greg
was his name.) And so my new skill was born：Strong Brain.
For a few months, I didn't make any progress.Sometimes I would sit without
knowing something for hours, well after whoever I was with had looked it up and had
moved on to knowing the next thing that I couldn't remember.I was frequently laughed at and
made to feel stupid for sitting with my arms crossed.I was teased for not coming up with answers
to things that no one on earth should know simply because I took an attitude against looking them
up.
But while the sounds of my haters got louder and louder, my brain beefed up in my
defense.As friends tried to remember the name of the actor who played Robin Williams's
sweetheart in Jumanji, I spoke unthinkingly with “Bonnie Hunt”．
If you're like me and have always wanted to be the shiny, pretty person at a party that
everyone is listening to and smiling at and wondering where she got her hair cut, I think
Strong Brain is the party trick for you.24．What do we learn about the author from Paragraph 1?
A．She was overusing the phone.
B．She wasted a lot of time on the calls.
C．She was addicted to anxiety medicine.
D．She made many spelling errors while searching.
25．What did the author decide to do after the summer of 2021?
A．Improve her recall.
B．Seek help from medicine.
C．Clear up her search history.
D．Connect with her college friend.
26．What did other people think of the author's new skill training?
A．Difficult. B．Important.
C．Ridiculous. D．Rewarding.
27．What is the best title of the text?
A．My Concern over Anxiety
B．My Way to Be Brain-Strong
C．My Fight with High Technology
D．My Suffering from Poor Memory
C
The brown paper bag hit the ground.A Michelin engineer picked it up and opened it,
revealing a cracked, leaking egg.The third graders at A．J.Whittenberg Elementary School
were disappointed when they saw the runny mess.
It was engineering week at A．J.Whittenberg, a public primary school in Greenville,
South Carolina.One week per month, engineers from local industries visit the classrooms
and talk to students about their careers.
Greenville is now introducing the idea of a career path to students in primary school
and giving students the option to follow those programs to middle and high schools.Each primary
school focuses on a specific technical skill.The district allows students to attend schools outside of
their attendance boundaries as long as space is available, which means students can choose to
continue to follow their chosen career pathway at a middle school with corresponding
programs.
The effort in Greenville is part of a growing national trend in which school districts
partner with local industries to develop curriculum (课程) and expose students to specialized
careers at a young age.
Some education experts worry the focus on industry qualifications has resulted in
schools taking on responsibilities that should fall to businesses, like training workers for
specific job duties, damaging a more comprehensive education in schools.“Schools are to
not just prepare people for work and strengthen the economy, but also a place where
students should experience art, music and think creatively，” said Jack Schneider, a
professor of education at the University of Massachusetts.
A teacher from Greenville, however, said, “Career exposure has a big impact on
kids.We're not really wanting them to make a decision—‘I'm in the second grade and
now I'm locked in to being whatever when I graduate from high school in 10 years.’We just
hope students walk across the graduation stage with plans for a career in mind.”
Modern times need modern solutions.When students leave school, they need to be
already down their road to college, if that's what they're going to do, or schools need to
give them something that allows them to get to work and earn a living.Just getting out
with a high school degree doesn't do that.
28．Why were the third graders disappointed?A．Their test failed.
B．The bag missed the target.
C．Engineers disturbed them.
D．They had to clean the ground.
29．What does Greenville do to help students follow their chosen path?
A．Design more career paths.
B．Invite engineers to their schools.
C．Adopt the open enrollment policy.
D．Offer more courses for them to choose.
30．What is Jack Schneider concerned about?
A．People's employment.
B．Students' overall development.
C．The nation's economy.
D．The school's innovative education.
31．Which statement would the author most likely agree with?
A．Modern solutions are hard to find.
B．More students need college education.
C．Greenville's practice is not acceptable.
D．A high school degree is not enough for jobs.
D
Machine learning sees reasoning as a categorization task with a fixed set of
predetermined labels.It views the world as a fixed space of possibilities, calculating and
weighing them all.This approach, of course, has achieved notable successes when applied
to stable and well-defined situations such as chess or computer games.When such
conditions are absent, however, machines struggle.
In 2008, Google launched Flu Trends, a web service that aimed to predict flu-related
doctor visits using big data.The project, however, failed to predict the 2009 H1N1 flu
outbreak.After several unsuccessful adjustments to its algorithm (算法), Google finally
stopped the project in 2015.
In such unstable situations, the human brain behaves differently.Sometimes, it simply
forgets.Instead of getting trapped in irrelevant data, it relies only on the most recent
information and makes creative decisions.This is a feature called intelligent
forgetting.Adopting this approach, an algorithm that relies on a single data point would
have reduced Google Flu Trends' prediction error by half.
Intelligent forgetting is just one dimension of psychological AI, an approach to
machine intelligence that also includes other features of human intelligence such as causal
reasoning, intuitive (直觉) psychology, and physics.Soon, this approach to AI will finally
be recognized as fundamental for solving poorly-defined problems. Exploring these
amazing features of the human brain will finally allow us to make machine learning smart.
One feature of psychological AI is that it is explainable.Until recently, researchers
assumed that the more transparent an AI system was, the less accurate its predictions
were.This mirrored the widespread but incorrect belief that complex problems always need
complex solutions.Now, this idea will be laid to rest.As the case of flu predictions
illustrates, powerful and simple psychological algorithms can often give more accurate
predictions than complex algorithms.Psychological AI opens up a new vision for explainable
AI：Instead of trying to explain complex systems, we can check first if psychological AI
offers a simple and equally accurate solution.
Without the help of human psychology, it will become clearer that the application of this
type of machine learning to unstable situations eventually runs up against impassablelimitations.We will finally recognize that more computing power makes machines faster.Not
smarter.
32．Why is Flu Trends mentioned?
A．To clarify a concept.
B．To tell the serious outbreak.
C．To support the author's idea.
D．To provide readers with the truth.
33．What is the advantage of human brain according to the passage?
A．It can think outside the box.
B．It can avoid unclear problems.
C．It is capable of learning over time.
D．It is good at following instructions.
34．Which has the similar meaning with the underlined word “transparent” in Paragraph 5?
A．Similar. B．Unique.
C．Complete. D．Clear.
35．What does the author intend to tell us?
A．AI speeds up the computing greatly.
B．Psychological AI can make smarter AI.
C．AI system works well in stable situations.
D．AI will outperform the human brain someday.
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。
Accept Tricky Feelings
Imagine that you only felt so-called positive feelings, like excitement, joy and
safety.__36__．Being human means we experience various emotions, even painful or
uncomfortable ones.Accepting them is important and can improve your well-being.
Do you notice uncomfortable feelings?
When you accept that difficult emotions are normal and temporary, you're often able
to cope with them.Psychologists have found that people who allow themselves to feel a
range of emotions, including painful ones, are often more at peace than people who try to
avoid or push uncomfortable feelings away.__37__．
Does that mean all behaviour is OK?
If you allow yourself to feel angry, for example, that doesn't mean you can throw
things around or behave unkindly.Anita Garai, a well-being teacher and author of Being with
Our Feelings, says that if we allow ourselves to feel painful emotions，including anger,
it's less likely these feelings will boil over and result in unpleasant actions.“__38__，”
she says.“By listening to them, you can learn more about your needs and choose the
best way to respond.”
__39__？
Garai suggests the first step is to notice and examine the uncomfortable feeling in
your body.“Where in your body can you feel it? Is it still or moving? Can you describe the
movement？” she says.It may be that the feeling reminds you of a colour, shape, sound or
texture.“By paying attention to the feeling in this way, it's less likely that you'll ignore
it，” explains Garai.__40__．Many people find it comforting and inspiring to read about
characters who accept, manage and overcome tricky emotions.
A．Another tool is to readB．You may feel it's like a wonderland
C．It might sound great but it's unrealistic
D．Do you examine the tricky feelings in your body
E．How can you learn to accept uncomfortable feelings
F．Uncomfortable feelings actually help to keep us well
G．By noticing tricky feelings and allowing them to exist, you are being kind to
yourself
