第二部分 阅读理解 (共两节，满分50分)
第一节 (共15 小题; 每小题2.5分, 满分37.5分)
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。
A
Every delicious steak you have ever enjoyed eating started with a good cut of meat. However, picking that
perfect cut can be challenging—supermarkets are flooded with options, and it is not as straightforward as simply
choosing the one with the highest price tag. Follow this guide for some advice.
Tenderloin (US), Fillet (UK), Eye Fillet (AUS/NZ)
A classic cut, the tenderloin comes from the strip of muscle tucked against the backbone of the animal. As this
muscle does not do much work, this is the tenderest cut of beef—which also makes it the most expensive, and
arguably the most desirable. We say “arguably” because, while the tenderloin is supremely lean and a favorite of
those who love their steak to melt in their mouth, it can also be tasteless. Filet mignon, widely referred to as the
creme (精华) dela creme of all steak cuts, is cut from the very tip of the tenderloin.
Ribeye (US/UK), Scotch fillet (AUS/NZ)
This cut, from the rib section of the animal, comes with an abundance of rich marbling. The ribeye won't give
you that same “melt-in-your-mouth” feeling, but it is still one of the tenderest cuts available. Differently, the ribeye
is cooked with the bone in, while the Scotch fillet is not.
Strip (US), Sirloin (UK), Porterhouse (AUS/NZ)
Coming from the hindquarter of the animal, the strip is not quite as tender as the tenderloin, or loaded with
quite as much flavor as the ribeye, but for many steak lovers, it is just right. The best part is that because this all-
rounder has a bit more chew and a bit less marbling than those cuts, it tends to be less expensive.
T-bone
Can't decide between the tenderloin and the strip? Why not both? The T-bone is cut with strip on one side of a
bone, and tenderloin on the other. With two very different textures(口感) and flavors, the T-bone gets the best of
both worlds, but it can also be more difficult to cook. The meat close r to the bone is slower to cook than the rest of
the steak.
21. What can we know about the steaks from the passage?
A. It usually takes little time to cook T-bone.
B. All things considered, Ribeye is the best.
C. A good cut only means the most expensive one.
D. It's not a piece of cake to pick a perfect cut.
22. What makes the tenderloin the most expensive part among the steak?
A. Different textures. B. The tenderest cut.
C. Rich marbling. D. Much flavor.
23. Where can the passage be taken from?
A. A science daily. B. An agricultural journal.
学科网（北京）股份有限公司C. A food magazine. D. A reading website.
B
My parents had been married less than two years when my dad was diagnosed with ALS. Making a decision
regarding whether or not to start a family was difficult at the time, but due to their faith and positive outlook, they
chose to do so. Had they not shared the same optimism, my older brother John would not be here, and I would not
be writing this today. To say that I am thankful for their decision is an understatement. My dad has had a long battle
with ALS and is still fighting after 26 years.
As a child, my parents did everything in their power to keep things as normal as possible for my brother and
me. Unfortunately, I have very few memories of my dad when he was still able to walk because of how young I was
when he lost that ability. However, I can confidently say that as a girl, my childhood felt completely normal. Our
friends came over a lot. John and I were very involved in sports, and my parents were at every game.
ALS isn't just a deadly disease—it is incurable. Most patients do not live even close to 26 years like my father
has been able to. ALS is also a lonely disease, for both the patients and caregivers, as they go through hardships
those around them will rarely understand. My mom is his primary caregiver, and my brother and I help out as much
as we can. She is a remarkable mother and wife, the backbone of our family, and none of us would be here without
her.
Dad is the strongest person I know. He has overcome his physical limitations due to how strong he is mentally.
Every day is a battle, and every day he fights hard. He truly believes every day is a gift. Some days are worse than
others, but he would rarely let you know. It takes a certain kind of faith, will, ambition, and strength to handle such
a desperate diagnosis, and he has never faltered(退缩).
24. How does the author feel about her parents' choice of starting a family?
A. Indifferent. B. Grateful. C. Regretful. D. Angry.
25. What does the author intend to highlight about her parents in Paragraph 2?
A. Their love for children. B. Their family values.
C. Their difficult situations. D. Their optimistic attitude.
26. Which of the following words can best describe the author's mom?
A. Talented and demanding. B. Generous and strict.
C. Determined and caring. D. Humorous and knowledgeable.
27. What can be inferred from the family's story?
A. Hardships and difficulties are unavoidable in life.
B. One has to learn to shoulder responsibility courageously.
C. The presence of parents is important to children's development.
D. Inner strength and family support can help overcome physical limitations.
C
When Elinor Lobel was 16, a “smart” insulin (胰岛素) pump was attached to her body. Powered by AI, it
tracks her glucose levels and administers the right dose of insulin at the right time to keep her healthy. It is one of
the new ways that data and AI can help improve lives.
Books that criticize the dark side of data are plentiful. They generally suggest there is much more fear than
good in the algorithmic (算法的) age.
But the intellectual tide may be turning. One of the most persuasive supporters of a more balanced view is
学科网（北京）股份有限公司Elinor Lobel's mother, Orly, a law professor. In The Equality Machine she acknowledges AI's capacity to produce
harmful results. But she shows how, in the right hands, it can also be used to fight inequality and discrimination.
A principle of privacy rules is “minimization”: collect and keep as little information as possible, especially in
areas such as race and gender. Ms Lobel flips the script, showing how in hiring, pay and the legal system, knowing
such characteristics leads to fairer outcomes.
Ms Lobel's call to use more, not less, personal information challenges data-privacy orthodoxy(正统观念). But
she insists that “tracking differences is key to detecting unfairness.” She advocates loosening of privacy rules to
provide more transparency(透明) over algorithmic decisions.
The problems with algorithmic formulae (公式) are tackled in depth in Escape from Model Land by Erica
Thompson of the School of Economics. These statistical models are the backbone of big data and AI. Yet a perfect
model will always be beyond reach. “All models are wrong,” runs a wise saying. “Some are useful.”
Ms Thompson focuses on a challenge she calls the Hawkmoth Effect. In the better known Butterfly Effect, a
serviceable model, in the prediction of climate change, becomes less reliable over time because of the complexity
of what it is simulating (模拟), or because of inaccuracies in the original data. In the Hawkmoth Effect, by contrast,
the model itself is mistaken; it might fail to take full account of the interplay between humidity, wind and
temperature.
Ms Thompson calls on data geeks (高手) to improve their solutions to real-world issues, not merely refine their
formulae—in other words, to escape from model land. “We do not need to have the best possible answer,” she writes,
“only a reasonable one.”
Both these books exhibit a healthy realism about data, algorithms and their limitations. Both recognize that
making progress involves accepting limitations, whether in law or coding. As Ms Lobel puts it: “It's always better
to light a candle than to curse the darkness.”
28. What can be inferred from the third paragraph?
A. The Algorithm is positive. B. The Algorithm is prospective.
C. The Algorithm is complex. D. The Algorithm is recognizable.
29. What does Ms Lobel intend to convey?
A. Minimization is a good privacy rule to go by
B. Employing more personal data should be encouraged
C. Algorithms are currently challenged by data privacy
D. Identifying algorithms' problems leads to better outcomes
30. What can we learn about “Hawkmoth Effect”?
A. It develops from Butterfly Effect.
B. It is mentioned to show the model can be faulty.
C. It enjoys popularity in climate research field.
D. It emphasizes accuracy of original data.
31. Which of the following does the writers of the two books probably agree?
A. Using algorithms to detect differences is hard.
B. The application of data and algorithms is limited.
C. The reliability of data should be attached importance to.
学科网（北京）股份有限公司D. Improving algorithms involves accepting its imperfection.
D
Once the red wolf' s historic range stretched from Long Island to Missouri and down to the Texas-Mexico
border. But by 1972 their population was reduced to a small area along the Gulf coast due to habitat loss and hunting.
To conserve the species, 14 individuals were caught as part of a reproducing program. In 1980their wild
relatives were declared extinct—the caught wolves were all that was left and thus lots of genetic variation was lost.
You can't help it when you have so few founders.
Kristin Brzeski is an assistant professor at Michigan Technological University, whose research focuses on the
conservation of genetics of wild animal populations. He thought this work had been an underdog scientifically and
for conservation, for all wolves decreased in amount dramatically, especially the red wolves. Now, Brzeski and her
co-workers have found a surprising new pool of red wolf genes that might help bring more diversity to the tiny
population: they found the disappearing genes of red wolves in wild coyote (郊狼) populations. But why did this
happen?
Remember: when a population is dying out, it might find the closest related species as their own best mate, so
a red wolf and a coyote can have offspring. As a result, people can rediscover their genes in their coyote hybrid
offspring. As red wolves are released back into the wild, reproducing with these coyotes could help the critically
endangered species regain some of its genetic diversity.
This would be kind of the opposite direction: take the existing small population that still has red wolf genes
that are so critical, and put them into a wild landscape with new genetic variation that they haven't seen for 50 years
or more. And all of a sudden, hopefully, this is like a super mix of genetic health and sort of a rebound that these
animals can be wild and be themselves again.
The next step will include how to release red wolves in a way that takes advantage of the genes red wolves
hiding in coyote populations. There should be a philosophy in our mind that we created this problem, so we should
be responsible for fixing it.
32. Why did the red wolves lose much genetic variation?
A. Their habitat loss. B. Their relatives' extinction.
C. Their limited number. D. Their poor adaptability.
33. What does the underlined word “underdog” in Para.3 mean?
A. Breakthrough. B. Success. C. Failure. D. Dilemma.
34. What is Brzeski's attitude towards releasing red wolves into the wild?
A. Favorable. B. Disappointed. C. Pessimistic. D. Cautious.
35. What is probably the best title for the passage?
A. Red wolves—an endangered species
B. An unknown future to protect red wolves
C. Wild coyotes—red wolves’ perfect match
D. A promising way to save red wolves

Every New Year, thousands decide they're going to change their lives. Fewer than 10 percent actually stick
学科网（北京）股份有限公司with their plans, and that figure is being generous. 36 .
Not aiming high enough. While it's easy to think setting easy goals will keep you motivated, it may harm your
long-term motivation. If you make goals that are too achievable, you'll get bored and lose interest. 37 . If you're

if it doesn't work out? What if my dream isn't truly my dream? What if I don't succeed?” If you have trouble creating
a vision , then you're at the risk of being aimless through life. 39 . You can start the process of discovering your
life purpose by asking yourself, “ What would my ideal life look like?”
Letting fear control your mind and actions. Fear can prevent you from achieving your dreams. You'll miss out
on opportunities in life if you don't learn how to manage your fears. 40 . One way to manage fear is to look for

holding you back from growing. This will give you a window of opportunity to communicate with your inner being
and find release.
A. Lacking self-confidence
B. Being uncertain about the future
C. Fortunately, fear can be overcome
D. Below you'll find some common reasons why you're losing motivation

I was a bad boy in a village in India. At least I was labeled that way because I had no interest in school or
studies. I used bad language, hung around with other “bad” boys, skipped school and ran through the fields. No one
thought I would do anything worthwhile with my life. And I'd heard many people in our village talking, “Why
bother going to school? These kids end up back on the farms anyway. He'll never amount to anything.” My parents
and teachers were disappointed with my average marks.
My mother imagined a different future and knew the value of education to create a better life. By the time I
entered the 12th grade, I had taken a good look at myself and realized the life I was creating. The bad boy image
troubled me. I didn't believe I was a bad boy. I didn't want to be a bad boy. These realizations forced me to
acknowledge that my mother was right—education was my only way out. I worked hard to finish my high school,
and then I decided to apply for higher education in university. But this village bad boy faced too many challenges.
Firstly, my family had very limited money. In addition to that, my grades were not good. There was very little
chance I'd gain admission to a university. Still, I took a chance and applied. The last day of admission, I visited the
university to check my result. I looked down the list, and there it was,“Parashram J. Patil”. Finally, I'd been admitted.
Now, it was the last day to pay, so I had to find money to cover my fees.
