A．Flower Rain on the Silk Road.
B．The Unicorn Purse.
C．Minimalist Creation.

解析 细节理解题。根据Minimalist Creation部分中“which will make children have a period
of warm and fun time”以及Kindly Reminder部分“Except for some children’s plays，it’s
not allowed for children with height of 120cm or under to enter the concert hall”可知，只有

A．￥60. B．￥100.
C．￥160. D．￥328.

解析 细节理解题。根据New Year’s Concert of Beijing部分中“Price：￥100－600”可

故选B。

C．Ticket prices. D．Program details.
答案 A
解析 细节理解题。根据Seating Chart部分“We make every effort to ensure the accuracy of

B(2023·浙江1月，C)
A machine can now not only beat you at chess, it can also outperform you in debate.Last
week, in a public debate in San Francisco, a software program called Project Debater beat its
human opponents, including Noa Ovadia, Israel’s former national debating champion.
Brilliant though it is, Project Debater has some weaknesses.It takes sentences from its library
of documents and prebuilt arguments and strings them together.This can lead to the kinds of errors
no human would make.Such wrinkles will no doubt be ironed out, yet they also point to a
fundamental problem.As Kristian Hammond, professor of electrical engineering and computer
science at Northwestern University, put it：“There’s never a stage at which the system knows
what it’s talking about.”
What Hammond is referring to is the question of meaning, and meaning is central to what
distinguishes the least intelligent of humans from the most intelligent of machines.A computer
works with symbols.Its program specifies a set of rules to transform one string of symbols into
another.But it does not specify what those symbols mean.Indeed, to a computer, meaning is
irrelevant.Humans, in thinking, talking, reading and writing, also work with symbols.But for
humans, meaning is everything.When we communicate, we communicate meaning.What matters is
not just the outside of a string of symbols, but the inside too, not just how they are arranged but
what they mean.
Meaning emerges through a process of social interaction, not of computation, interaction that
shapes the content of the symbols in our heads.The rules that assign meaning lie not just inside our
heads, but also outside, in society, in social memory, social conventions and social relations.It is
this that distinguishes humans from machines.And that’s why, however astonishing Project
Debater may seem, the tradition that began with Socrates and Confucius will not end with artificial
intelligence.
语篇解读 本文是一篇新闻报道，主要介绍的是一款名为Project Debater的软件程序在辩论
赛中击败了人类对手。
4．Why does the author mention Noa Ovadia in the first paragraph?
A．To explain the use of a software program.
B．To show the cleverness of Project Debater.
C．To introduce the designer of Project Debater.
D．To emphasize the fairness of the competition.
答案 B
解析 推理判断题。根据第一段第二句可知，Project Debater在一场公开辩论赛中击败了包
括以色列的前全国辩论冠军Noa Ovadia在内的人类对手，由此推知，作者在第一段提到
Noa Ovadia的目的是展示Project Debater的聪明。故选B。
5．What does the underlined word “wrinkles” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A．Arguments. B．Doubts.C．Errors. D．Differences.
答案 C
解析 词义猜测题。根据第二段前三句可知，Project Debater的一些缺点会使它犯一些人类
不会犯的错误，再结合画线词前的such可知，wrinkles指的就是前面提到的errors。故选
C。
6．What is Project Debater unable to do according to Hammond?
A．Create rules.
B．Comprehend meaning.
C．Talk fluently.
D．Identify difficult words.
答案 B
解析 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的“What Hammond is referring to is the question of
meaning...to a computer, meaning is irrelevant.”可知，根据Hammond的说法，Project Debater
不能理解意义。故选B。
7．What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A．Social interaction is key to understanding symbols.
B．The human brain has potential yet to be developed.
C．Ancient philosophers set good examples for debaters.
D．Artificial intelligence ensures humans a bright future.
答案 A
解析 细节理解题。根据最后一段第一句可知，社会互动是理解符号的关键。故选A。
C(★)
Timothy was exhausted for he worked extended hours.Although earning a low wage and
handling ill-mannered customers，he always put serving those who sat at his tables well on the
front burner of his mind.He went about his daily duties carefully，putting on a smiling face as
customers complained about the food or questioned the bill.
Usually as night deepened preparing to close the business，he would notice a couple of
customers walk in，sit down and order drinks.Most of the crew had left by closing time，but
Timothy stayed to serve.Eventually，the last round was ordered and he gave them the bill.The
minimum tip was suggested on the receipt.“Tomorrow will be better，” he murmured.
But luck wouldn’t always smile on him.Evening approaching，a group of teenagers stepped
in.Thankfully，they were polite and respectful.Their cheerful behavior began to affect him.As
always，he did his best to make their dining experience a pleasant one.
Time dragged on and they finished their drinks.He placed the bill on the table，accompanied
with some candies.The group placed their notes on the receipt and left smiling.When he returned to
clear the table，he was astonished.A tip of $3 was sitting there，staring at him，but their total billamounted to $100.He’d gone above and beyond to serve them.How could they be so rude?
Later that week，he battled to brush off the awkward memories.He arrived at work and
expected it to be like any other day，but there was something left on the desk for him，a two-page
handwritten letter from the teenagers with $18 attached，in which they explained they were
unaware of how to tip appropriately due to it being their first time in this bar.Everything suddenly
made sense.
Timothy thumbed up what they did with a big grin and he was so moved by their gesture that
he uploaded a picture of the letter sharing their admirable efforts.The reaction was more than
positive.

Ⅱ.七选五
(2024·浙江杭州期末)
Everybody seems to have a unique way to learn a language.However，we all come to the
same result of speaking at most two languages fluently. 1 Unbelievable as it may sound，
those polyglots(通晓多种语言者) have a good command of more than two languages，some of
whom even can speak eight or more kinds of languages.
You may wonder how they do that and what their secrets are.But the fact is that they simply
love learning languages.The one thing they all have in common is that they just find ways to enjoy
the language-learning process. 2
You may have seen their faces when they are showing their colorful grammar charts and their
carefully handmade flash cards，and their statistics about learning vocabulary using apps or even
how they love to cook based on recipes in a foreign language. 3 But they always make sure
it’s something that they personally enjoy.
4 Polyglots simply found ways on how to enjoy the process and how to turn language
learning from a boring school subject into a pleasant activity which you don’t mind doing every
day.
So if you’ve also tried to learn a language and you gave up，thinking it’s too difficult or
you don’t have the language talent，give it another try. 5 Maybe you’re also just one
method away from becoming a polyglot.
A．All of them use different methods.
B．No wonder they can get the hang of so many languages.
C．They are talking about language learning as if it is great fun.
D．Don’t be afraid that you may fail in the end and just try again.E．Everyone is no talents and no one has shortcut to learning languages.
F．But actually there exists another kind of language learners called polyglot.
G．Maybe you’re just one enjoyable method away from learning that language fluently.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。学习语言没有捷径，通晓多种语言者也只是把语言学习从枯
燥的学校课程变成一种每天都做的愉快的活动。
1．答案 F
解析 根据前文“However，we all come to the same result of speaking at most two languages
fluently.”可知我们最多能流利地说两种语言，下文则介绍了通晓多种语言者甚至可以说八
种以上的语言。F项与前文之间能形成转折关系，且引出下文的通晓多种语言者。故选F。
2．答案 C
解析 根据前文“The one thing they all have in common is that they just find ways to enjoy the
language-learning process.”可知，C 项与前文语意一致，且前文的“enjoy”和选项中的
“great fun”为同义词复现。故选C。
3．答案 A
解析 本段前文提到了通晓多种语言者会使用多种语言学习方法，下文“But they always
make sure it’s something that they personally enjoy.”则介绍了这些人的共同点。由此可知A
项能总结上文，且与后句形成转折，符合语境。故选A。
4．答案 E
解析 根据下文“Polyglots simply found ways on how to...”可知，通晓多种语言者只是找对
了方法，E项指出没有人是天才，而且学习语言没有捷径，前后能形成递进关系。故选E。
5．答案 G
解析 根据下文“Maybe you’re also just one method away from becoming a polyglot.”可知G
项与下文句式一致，同为鼓励读者不要放弃，而要找到学习语言的方法。前后语意有
“also”递进。故选G。
