第二部分 阅读理解(共20小题；每小题2.5分，满分50分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
When starting college，most students enjoy a week’s stay on campus before classes actually
begin.What should you do with that time? Below are several tips to ease(使熟悉) yourself intocollege life.
Participating in Campus Welcome Activities
Most universities host welcome events before the academic year officially begins，including
freshmen orientations(迎新会)，campus picnics，and entertainments like concerts.
Participating in such events is a great way to learn about school facilities and understand
campus culture：What do students do for fun? What are their favorite classes? What is the history
of your university? It can help you observe campus life outside the classroom.
Exploring Campus
Getting to know where essential campus resources are—such as the student advising center，
psychological services，and the tutoring center—will make your first few weeks on campus a lot
easier，because you won’t have to look for them while still getting used to your classes.
Take some time to check out the buildings where your classes will be held.This will prevent
you from getting lost in the first few days of classes，and familiarize you with how long it takes to
get from place to place.If you’re worried about taking classes one after another in different
buildings，a quick test run won’t hurt.That way，you will avoid potential time delays in getting
to your classes.
Starting a Routine
Before getting too excited about all of the fun things you will be able to do during the week，
remember that you do have a pretty big schedule change coming up.Starting classes means being in
different places at different times，so it’s a great idea to start getting used to that routine right this
week.
What helps you most is to schedule your sleep.Following the planned time will ensure you
have enough sleep to get to those early classes and stay wide awake.
If you have other daily routines，such as exercising or talking on the phone with family，
work those into your daytoday life before classes start so that you get a better idea of how they fit
in with your schedule.

When people ask me how I started writing，I find myself describing an urgent need that I felt
to work with language.Having said that，I did not know for a long time what I was looking for.It
was not until I followed this feeling to its source that I discovered I had a passion for writing.With
some encouragement from my colleagues，I had one of my poems published.This bit of success，
however，was the point where my problem began.
Back in 1978，I had to travel between three different campuses in the morning，teaching
freshman composition.Afternoons I spent taking my daughter to her ballet and horseriding lessons.I
composed my lectures on the way，and that was all the thinking time I had.When I returned
home，there was not enough of me left for writing after a full working day.
As a way out，I decided to get up two hours before my usual time.My alarm was set for 500
A．M.The first day I shut it off because I had placed it within arm’s reach.The second day I set
two clocks，one on my night table，and one out in the hallway.I had to jump out of bed and run to
silence it before my family was awoken.This was when my morning writing began.
Since that first morning in 1978，I have been following the habit to this day，not making or
accepting many excuses for not writing.I wrote my poems in this manner for nearly ten years
before my first book was published.When I decided to write a novel，I divided my two hours：the
first for poetry，the second for fiction.Well or badly，I wrote at least two pages a day.This is how
my novel，The Line of the Sun，was finished.If I had waited to have the time，I would still be
waiting to write my novel.
What I got out of getting up in the dark to work is the feeling that I am in control.For many
people，the initial sense of urgency to create easily dies away because it requires making the tough
decision：taking the time to create，stealing it from yourself if it’s the only way.

In the fictional worlds of film and TV，artificial intelligence(AI) has been described as so
advanced that it is indistinguishable from humans.But what if we’re actually getting closer to a
world where AI is capable of thinking and feeling?
Techcompany UneeQ is heading for its “digital humans”，which appear lifelike on the
screen not only in terms of language，but also because of facial movements：raised eyebrows，a
smile，even a nod.They look close to a human，but not quite.
What lies beneath UneeQ’ s digital humans? Their 3D faces are modeled on actual human
features.Speech recognition enables them to understand what a person is saying，and natural
language processing is used to work out a response.Meanwhile，another AI company，Soul
Machines，is taking a more biological approach，with a “digital brain”，that imitates aspects
of the human brain to adjust the emotions “fblt” and “expressed” by its “digital
people”．
Shiwali Mohan，an AI scientist at the Palo Research Center，is skeptical of these digital
beings.“They’re humanlike in their looks and the way they sound，but that in itself is not being
human，” she says.“Human qualities also involve how you think ，how you approach
problems ， and how you break them down ； and that takes a lot of algorithmic( 算 法 )
design.Designing for humanlevel intelligence is a different attempt than designing images that
behave like humans.” She then continues，“If something looks like a human，we have high
expectations of them，but they might behave differently in ways that humans just instinctively(直
觉地) know how other humans react.”
Yet the demand is there，with UneeQ seeing high adoption of its digital employees across the
financial，health care，and commercial sectors(行业)．“Unless these sectors make their
business models much more efficient digitally，they might be left behind，” says Chetan
Dube，UneeQ’s CEO.
Some other companies are taking their digital beings a step further，enabling organizations
and individuals to create digital humans themselves using freeaccess platforms they provide.“The
biggest motivation for such platforms is to popularize AI，” Dube says.
Mohan is cautious about this approach，yet she supports the purpose behind these digital
beings and is optimistic about where they are headed.“As we develop more advanced AI
technology，we would then have to use new ways of communicating with that technology，”
she says.“Hopefully，all of that is designed to support humans in their goals.”
语篇解读 这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了许多科技公司正在推进、研发“数字人类”，并被
很多行业使用。但一些科学家对此表示怀疑，并指出了“数字人类”并不是真正的人类，有
很多缺陷。但前景还是很有希望的。46．According to Para.2，in what respect(s) do UneeQ’s “digital humans” resemble human
beings?
A．In the way they move around.
B．In the way they act and react.
C．In observation and analysis.
D．In speech and facial expressions.
答案 D
解析 细节理解题。根据第二段内容可知，科技公司UneeQ正在研发一种“数字人”，这
种人在屏幕上看起来栩栩如生，不仅因为语言，还因为面部动作：眉毛扬起、微笑，甚至点
头。由此可知，UneeQ的“数字人”在言语和面部表情方面与人类相似。故选D项。
47．Soul Machines’ digital brain is a technological breakthrough because it .
A．learns to make proper emotional responses
B．tends to imitate human beings’ tone vividly
C．recognizes the speech sounds it receives
D．processes the natural language it hears
答案 A
解析 细节理解题。根据第三段的“Meanwhile，another AI company，Soul Machines，is
taking a more biological approach，with a ‘digital brain’，that imitates aspects of the human
brain to adjust the emotions ‘fblt’ and ‘expressed’ by its ‘digital people’．”可知，
灵魂机器的数字大脑是一项技术突破，因为它倾向于做出适当的情绪反应。故选A项。
48．In Mohan’s opinion，what human quality is lacking in digital beings?
A．Calculating brain.
B．Language skills.
C．Instinctive judgements.
D．Problemsolving ability.
答案 C
解析 推理判断题。根据第四段第二、三句以及“...but they might behave differently in ways
that humans just instinctively(直觉地) know how other humans react.”(“他们的外表和声音都
像人类，但这本身不是人类，”她说。“人类的品质还包括你如何思考、如何处理问题以及
如何分解问题；这需要大量的算法设计……但他们的行为方式可能不同，因为人类只是本能
地知道其他人的反应。”)可以判断出，在Mohan看来，数字人缺少本能的判断。故选C项。
49．What makes many sectors employ digital humans?
A．The fear of falling behind in efficiency.
B．The urgency to promote ecommerce.C．The wish to spread digital technology.

解析 细节理解题。根据第五段可知，但需求依然存在，UneeQ看到数字员工在金融、医
疗和商业行业的使用率很高。除非这些行业将它们的商业模式数字化得更高效，否则它们可
能会被甩在后面。因此，害怕效率落后让许多行业使用“数字人类”。故选A项。
50．What does Mohan think of the future of digital beings?
A．It’s well planned.
B．It is promising.
C．It is uncertain.
D．It’s quite hopeless.

解析 观点态度题。根据最后一段中“Mohan is cautious about this approach，yet she supports
the purpose behind these digital beings and is optimistic about where they are headed.”( Mohan对
这种方法持谨慎态度，但她赞成这些数字人背后的目的，并对他们的未来持乐观态度。)由
此判断出，Mohan认为数字人的未来是有希望的。故选B项。

Art is everywhere.Any public space has been carefully designed by an artistic mind to be both
functional and beautiful.Why，then，is art still so widely considered to be “the easy subject” at
school，insignificant to wider society，a waste of time and effort?
Art can connect culture with commercial products in a way that not many other things can；
art generates money and holds significant emotional and cultural value within communities.When
people attend a concert，they are paying for music，sure，maybe even hotel rooms，meals，and
transport，but they also gain an incredible experience，a unique atmosphere and a memory that
will go through the rest of their lives.People don’t just want material things anymore，they want
to experience life—the arts are a perfect crossover(交迭) between culture and commerce.
Furthermore，the arts can bring communities together，reducing loneliness and making
people feel safer.Social bonds are created among individuals when they share their arts experiences
through reflection and discussion，and their expression of common values through artworks in
honour of events significant to a nation’s experience.
The arts clearly have a pretty positive impact on physical and psychological health.It is found
that people who frequent cultural places or participate in artistic events are more likely to gain good
health compared to those who do not；more engagement with the arts is linked to a higher level of
people’s wellbeing.The Royal Society of Public Health discovered that music and art，when used
in hospitals，help to improve the conditions of patients by reducing stress，anxiety and blood
pressure.Children who are involved with the arts make greater achievements in their education：those
engaged with drama have greater literary ability while others taking part in musical practice exhibit
greater skills in math and languages.Kids with preference for the arts have a greater chance of
finding employment in the future.Participating in the arts is essential for child development；
encouraging children to express themselves in constructive ways could help to form healthy
emotional responses in later life.
Vital to human life，art is celebrated and used by nations across the world for various
purposes.Life without art would be boring and dead still，for art is a part of what makes us human.

A．How Art Cures Our Hearts

起着重要的作用。因此，艺术是人类重要的部分，文章中也详细描述了艺术对不同人群的好
处。所以短文的最佳标题为“艺术：人类的福祉”。故选择B。

第一节 阅读表达(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)
阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。
Most of us associate learning with younger people—kids in school and college or recent
graduates early in their careers.But at Udemy，an open university offering online courses，ArtistAnneke Camstra is engaged in the pursuit of lifelong learning and displays her potential for
teaching.She loves the experience of gaining new knowledge and also loves sharing it with
others.“I’m retired，but an artist never retires，” Anneke said.“The last few years on the
Internet have been a great joy for me.I’ve taken so many Udemy courses，and it’s such a great
feeling to get my brain working again.I find just as much satisfaction in teaching animation(动画制
作) too.”
She reaches countless people with her online courses and exposes them to what they can
accomplish on their own using animation software ，such as GoAnimate and PowToon.Her
motivation for teaching on Udemy is “to get the tools to the people.”“You can go such a long
way to make things that look professional but still have your own voice，” she explained.
Most of Anneke’s students start out thinking they’re not creative and can’t draw.Anneke
understands how fear can get in the way of so many things people dream of doing.With her fiveday
challenge courses，she helps them get over the fear.Anneke loves the impact she has on her
students.What makes her more proud of them is that they have gone from their first animation to
creating their own works.
She encourages people of all ages，especially older people，to cultivate their curiosity for
life.Grandparents，for example，can learn to use GoAnimate and make animations together with
their grandkids.
“I’m an older woman，teaching and having fun learning again，”Anneke said，and she
wants others later in their lives to catch up with her on this journey.
语篇解读 这是一篇记叙文。讲述了退休艺术家Anneke Camstra，人老心不老，积极对待生
活，在线上从事动画教学的故事。
56．What does Anneke enjoy doing after her retirement? (no more than 10 words)
答案 Gaining new knowledge and sharing it with others.
Or：Taking Udemy courses and teaching animation.
解析 考查细节理解。根据第一段中“She loves the experience of gaining new knowledge and
also loves sharing it with others.(她喜欢获得新知识，也喜欢与他人分享。)”以及她所说的话
“I’ve taken so many Udemy courses，and it’s such a great feeling to get my brain working
again.I find just as much satisfaction in teaching animation(动画制作) too.(在Udemy我上了很多
课，能让我的大脑重新工作真是太棒了。我在动画教学中也找到了同样的满足感。)”可知，
Anneke退休后喜欢学习新的知识并与别人分享，她参加Udemy课程并教授动画。故答案为
Gaining new knowledge and sharing it with others.Or：Taking Udemy courses and teaching
animation.
57．According to Para.2，what does Anneke expect her students to do with animation software?(no more than 10 words)
答案 To make professional products and express themselves.
Or：To accomplish/complete professional and unique works.
Or：To achieve their goals/what they dream of.
解析 考查推理判断。根据第二段中Anneke说的话“to get the tools to the people.”“You
can go such a long way to make things that look professional but still have your own voice”可知，
Anneke希望她的学生可以制作出既专业又能表达他们自己想法的作品。故答案为 To make
professional products and express themselves./To accomplish/complete professional and unique
works./To achieve their goals/what they dream of。
58．What is the main idea of Para.3? (no more than 15 words)
答案 Anneke helps her students get over the fear and create their own animation works.
解析 考查段落大意。根据第三段可知，第三段的主旨是 Anneke帮助学生克服恐惧并创造
他们自己的动画作品。故答案为Anneke helps her students get over the fear and create their own
animation works.
59．Please explain the meaning of the underlined word in Para.4(1 word)
答案 Develop.
解析 考查词义猜测。画线词后文举例说明了Anneke主张让老年人和孙辈们一起制作动画，
再根据画线词所在句可知，Anneke鼓励老年人，培养发展他们的好奇心。从而推知画线词
语应为“培养；发展”的意思。故答案为Develop.
60．What do you suggest old people learn to do? Please give your reason(s)．(no more than 20
words)
答案 To learn to use social media，because it allows them to get to know the outside world
better.
解析 考查读后表达。通读全文，以Anneke Camstra为榜样，我建议应该让老年人学习使
用社交媒体，因为它使老年人能更好地了解外面的世界。故答案为 To learn to use social
media，because it allows them to get to know the outside world better.
