【2023▪浙江1月卷】
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.
28. 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.
29. What does the underlined word “wrinkles” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Arguments. B. Doubts. C. Errors. D. Differences.
30. What is Project Debater unable to do according to Hammond?
A. Create rules. B. Comprehend meaning.
资料收集整理【淘宝店铺:向阳百分百】 1C. Talk fluently. D. Identify difficult words.
31. 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】28. B29. C30. B31. A
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道,主要介绍的是在辩论中战胜人类的名为Project Debater的软件程序。
28.推理判断题。根据第一段的“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.(上周,在旧金山的一场公开辩论中,一个名为Project Debater的软件程序击败了它的人类对
手,其中包括以色列前全国辩论冠军Noa Ovadia。)”可知,作者在第一段提到Noa Ovadia的目的是展示
Project Debater的聪明。故选B。
29.词句猜测题。根据第二段的“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.(尽管Project Debater很聪明,但它也有一些弱点。它从文档库
和预先构建的参数中提取句子,并将它们串在一起。这可能会导致人类不会犯的错误。)”和“will no
doubt be ironed out(毫无疑问会被解决)”可知,划线词所在句子表示“这样的错误会被纠正,被解决”,
划线词wrinkles的意思是“错误”,和errors意思相近,故选C。
30.细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的“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.(Hammond所指的是意义的问题,而意义是区分最不聪明的人类和最聪明的机器的关键。计算
机使用符号。它的程序指定了一组将一串符号转换为另一串符号的规则。但它并没有具体说明这些符号
的含义。事实上,对于计算机来说,意义是无关紧要的。)”可知,根据 Hammond的说法,Project
Debater不能理解意义,故选B。
31.细节理解题。根据最后一段的“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.(意义的产生是通过社会互动的过程,而不是计算的过程,这种互动塑造了我们头脑中符号的内
容。赋予意义的规则不仅存在于我们的头脑中,也存在于社会之外,存在于社会记忆、社会习俗和社会
关系中。)”可知,从最后一段我们能了解到社会互动是理解符号的关键。故选A。
试卷第2页,共3页【2020▪全国III卷】
When "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" was first shown to the public last month, a group of excited animal
activists gathered on Hollywood Boulevard. But they weren’t there to throw red paint on fur-coat-wearing film
stars. Instead, one activist, dressed in a full-body monkey suit, had arrived with a sign praising the
filmmakers: "Thanks for not using real apes (猿)!"
The creative team behind "Apes" used motion-capture (动作捕捉) technology to create digitalized
animals, spending tens of millions of dollars on technology that I records an actor’s performance and later
processes it with computer graphics to create a final image (图像). In this case, one of a realistic-
looking ape.
Yet "Apes" is more exception than the rule. In fact, Hollywood has been hot on live animals lately. One
nonprofit organization, which monitors the treatment or animals in filmed entertainment, is keeping tabs on
more than 2,000 productions this year. Already, a number of films, including "Water for Elephants," "The
Hangover Part Ⅱ" and "Zookeeper," have drawn the anger of activists who say the creatures acting in
them haven’t been treated properly.
In some cases, it’s not so much the treatment of the animals on set in the studio that has activists worried; it’s
the off-set training and living conditions that are raising concerns. And there are questions about the films made
outside the States, which sometimes are not monitored as closely as productions filmed in the Sates.
24. Why did the animal activists gather on Hollywood Boulevard?
A. To see famous film stars.
B. To oppose wearing fur coats.
C. To raise money for animal protection.
D. To express thanks to some filmmakers.
25. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about?
A. The cost of making "Apes."
B. The creation of digitalized apes.
C. The publicity about “Apes."
D. The performance of real apes.
26. What does the underlined phrase "keeping tabs on" in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Listing completely.
B. Directing professionally.
C. Promoting successfully.
D. Watching carefully.
27. What can we infer from the last paragraph about animal actors?
资料收集整理【淘宝店铺:向阳百分百】 3A. They may be badly treated.
B. They should take further training.
C. They could be traded illegally.
D. They would lose popularity.
24-27 DBDA
【导读】这是一篇新闻报道。短文报道了电影“猩球崛起”上个月首次与公众见面。动物爱好者聚集在
好莱坞前,感谢电影制作者,在电影拍摄时,没有使用真的类人猿。现在的动物拍摄使用的是数字化人
猿的创造技术,而一些电影的拍摄却存在着虐地动物的现象,这让一个非盈利的组织密切关注此事。但
有些拍摄也是不能够被监测到的。
24. D。细节理解题。根据第一段“Instead, one activist ,dressed in a full -body monkey suit ,had arrived
with a sign praising the filmmakers:“Thanks for not using real apes”可知,相反,一名身穿全套猴服的活
动人士来到现场,手里拿着一块牌子,称赞电影制作人:“感谢你们不用真正的猿猴。所以动物保护者聚集
在好莱坞大道是为了向电影制作者表示感谢。
25. B。主旨大意题。根据第二段“The creative team behind "Apes" used motion-capture (动作捕捉)
technology to create digitalized animals, spending tens of millions of dollars on technology that I records an
actor’s performance and later processes it with computer graphics to create a final image (图像). ”可知,
“人猿”背后的创作团队利用动作捕捉技术创造数字化的动物,在记录演员表演的技术上,花费数千万
美元,然后用电脑图形处理,以产生最终的影像。由此可知,第二段主要是关于数字化人猿的创造。
26. D。词句猜测题。根据第三段划线前的句子“One nonprofit organization, which monitors the
treatment or animals in filmed entertainment”以及下文Already, a number of films, including "Water for
Elephants," "The Hangover Part Ⅱ" and "Zookeeper," have drawn the anger of activists who say the
creatures acting in them haven’t been treated properly.由此可知,其中一家监控动物待遇的非营利组织,
今年正密切关注着2000多部影片。由此判断出,划线词的意思是“密切关注”。
27. A。推理判断题。根据最后一段In some cases, it’s not so much the treatment of the animals on set in
the studio that has activists worried; it’s the off-set training and living conditions that are raising concerns.
And there are questions about the films made outside the States, which sometimes are not monitored as
closely as productions filmed in the Sates.”可知,在某些情况下,让活动人士担心的并不是工作室里动物
的待遇;令人担忧的是训练和生活条件。由此判断出动物演员可能受到虐待。

Money with no strings attached. It’s not something you see every day. But at Union Station in Los Angeles
last month, a board went up with dollar bills attached to it with pins and a sign that read, “Give What You Can,
Take What You Need.”
People quickly caught on. And while many took dollars, many others pinned their own cash to the board.
试卷第4页,共3页“People of all ages, races, and socio-economic(社会经济的) backgrounds gave and took,” said Tyler Bridges of
The Toolbox, which created the project. “We even had a bride in her wedding dress come up to the board and take
a few dollars.” Most of the bills on the board were singles, but a few people left fives, tens and even twenties. The
video clip(片段) shows one man who had found a $ 20 bill pinning it to the board.
“What I can say for the folks that gave the most, is that they were full of smiles,” Bridges said. “There’s a
certain feeling that giving can do for you and that was apparent in those that gave the most.” Most people who
took dollars took only a few, but Bridges said a very small number took as much as they could.
While the clip might look like part of a new ad campaign, Bridges said the only goal was to show generosity
and sympathy. He added that he hopes people in other cities might try similar projects and post their own videos
on the Internet.
“After all, everyone has bad days and good days,” he said. “Some days you need a helping hand and some
days you can be the one giving the helping hand.”
24. What does the expression “money with no strings attached” in paragraph 1 mean?
A. Money spent without hesitation.
B. Money not legally made.
C. Money offered without conditions.
D. Money not tied together.
25. What did Bridges want to show by mentioning the bride?
A. Women tended to be more sociable.
B. The activity attracted various people.
C. Economic problems were getting worse.
D. Young couples needed financial assistance.
26. Why did Bridges carry out the project?
A. To do a test on people’s morals.
B. To raise money for his company.
C. To earn himself a good reputation.
D. To promote kindness and sympathy.
【答案】24. C 25. B 26. D
【解析】这是一篇新闻报道。短文报道了上个月在洛杉矶的联合车站,一块牌子上用别针别满了美元,
上面写着“给予你所能给与的,拿走你所需要的”。这样的活动吸引了各种各样的人,组织者希望通过
这样的活动来提倡仁慈和同情。
24.词义猜测题。根据第一段中But at Union Station in Los Angeles last month, a board went up with dollar
bills attached to it with pins and a sign that read, “Give What You Can, Take What You Need.”可知,但是
上个月在洛杉矶的联合车站,一块牌子上用别针别满了美元,上面写着“给予你所能给与的,拿走你所
资料收集整理【淘宝店铺:向阳百分百】 5需要的”。所以通过下文的语境,判断出第1段中的money with no strings attached是“无条件提供的
钱”的意思。故C项正确。
25.推理判断题。根据第二段照片没给“People of all ages, races, and socio-economic(社会经济的)
backgrounds gave and took,” said Tyler Bridges of The Toolbox, which created the project. “We even had a
bride in her wedding dress come up to the board and take a few dollars.”可知,发起该项活动的泰勒·布里
奇斯说:“所有年龄、种族和社会经济背景的人都会付出和索取。”甚至有一位穿着婚纱的新娘来到了
牌子前,拿走了一些钱。所以泰勒·布里奇斯提到新娘是想说明这项活动吸引了各种各样的人。故B项正
确。
26.细节理解题。根据倒数第二段 While the clip might look like part of a new ad campaign, Bridges said
the only goal was to show generosity and sympathy.可知,尽管这段视频看起来像是一项新的广告活动的
一部分,但是布里奇斯说这次活动唯一的目标是表现出慷慨和同情。所以布里奇斯开展这个活动是为了
提倡仁慈和同情。故D项正确。
2023 年高考模拟真题
(2023·浙江·统考模拟预测)A relationship between the amount of adult speech children are exposed to
and the concentration of myelin, a substance in the brain, has been found, researchers say.
“I think the take-home message is, absolutely talking to your kids. It’s literally shaping the structure of the
brain,” says the lead author, Prof. John P. Spencer of the University of East Anglia.
The team find, for the 30-month-olds, larger amounts of adult speech are associated with higher quantities of
myelin in language-related pathways in the brain; however, for the 6-month-olds, it goes the opposite way.
While the latter ( 后者 ) is unexpected, Spencer points out one possible factor: the brain’s stage of
development.
“When babies are six months old, they experience massive growth of new nerve cells,” he says. “So the input
comes in and may help extend the period of brain growth.” “While at 30 months, the brain starts to cut back some
of the cell growth, and form specific connections. That’s where myelin comes in. So now the input starts to help
structure the myelin,” he adds.
The researchers conclude adult speech is significant for both age groups and that the more adult speech
children go through, the more sensitive they will be to language. The next step for them is to figure out whether
the 6-month-old babies showing that negative connection will surely turn into 30-month-old kids who show
positive relationship.
Dr. Saloni Krishnan, Reader in cognitive neuroscience (认知神经科学) at Royal Holloway, University of
London, who is not involved in the work, however, notes individual differences in language ability are linked to
genetics. “Children who are exposed to more language at home and have higher myelination will also have
试卷第6页,共3页inherited genes (经遗传获得的基因) from parents who are more excellent in languages,” she said. “No final
conclusion could be made before this potential genetic effect are tested. And yet there being currently no standard
around the amount of input children should receive, caregivers should not necessarily feel pressure to talk more to
their children.”
1.Which can replace the underlined words “take-home message” in paragraph 2?
A.Process. B.Reason. C.Point. D.Consequence.
2.What surprises the team?
A.The finding for the 30-month-olds. B.The finding for the 6-month-olds.
C.How the input help nerve cells grow. D.How the input help structure the myelin.
3.What does the researchers think of adult speech?
A.It is positively related to myelin. B.It cuts back some of the cell growth.
C.Its effect varies with the size of brains. D.It is helpful for both groups’ language ability.
4.What might Dr. Saloni Krishnan approve of?
A.The team should do more research. B.Inherited genes decide language ability.
C.Parents must talk more to their kids. D.The concentration of myelin makes no sense.
【答案】1.C 2.B 3.D 4.A
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。主要介绍了一个研究团队的发现(多跟孩子交流有助于孩子的大脑发育,
尤其是语言方面)和其他专家就该研究发现发表的言论。
1.词义猜测题。根据划线词“is, absolutely talking to your kids. It’s literally shaping the structure of the brain”
可知,Prof. John P. Spencer认为重点是跟孩子交流;这确实能够影响孩子大脑结构的发育,故划线词意思
是“重点”。故选C项。
2.细节理解题。根据第三段“The team find, for the 30-month-olds, larger amounts of adult speech are
associated with higher quantities of myelin in language-related pathways in the brain; however, for the 6-month-
olds, it goes the opposite way.(研究小组发现,对于30个月大的婴儿来说,更多的成人语言与大脑中语言相
关通路中更多的髓磷脂有关;然而,对于6个月大的婴儿来说,情况正好相反)”以及第四段“While the
latter (后者) is unexpected, Spencer points out one possible factor: the brain’s stage of development.(虽然后者出
乎意料,但斯宾塞指出了一个可能的因素:大脑的发育阶段)”可知,使这个研究团队吃惊的是第三段中提
到的对六个月大的婴儿的研究发现,故选B项。
3.细节理解题。根据第六段第一句“The researchers conclude adult speech is significant for both age groups
and that the more adult speech children go through, the more sensitive they will be to language”可知,研究人员
得出结论:父母的言语对六个月大和三十个月大的孩子都很重要;并且孩子所接收的父母的言语越多,
孩子们日后对语言就会越敏感,故选D项。
4.推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句““No final conclusion could be made before this potential genetic
资料收集整理【淘宝店铺:向阳百分百】 7effect are tested. And yet there being currently no standard around the amount of input children should receive,
caregivers should not necessarily feel pressure to talk more to their children.”(“在测试这种潜在的遗传效应之前,
无法得出最终结论。然而,目前还没有关于孩子应该接受多少信息的标准,照顾者不必感到压力,要和
孩子多说话。”)”可知,Dr. Saloni Krishnan认为在潜在的基因方面的影响被测定之前,不能断言“父母
多跟孩子交流会提高孩子的语言能力”,即这个研究团队需要做进一步的研究,故选A项。
(2023·浙江·校联考模拟预测)Young people are being criticized for working from home again, with one
professor saying it adversely affects their professional and romantic success.
Scott Galloway, a marketing professor at the New York University, spoke about the harms of being at home
at The Wall Street Journal’s CEO Council Summit, on Wednesday.
A clip posted on TikTok shows Galloway saying, “You should never be at home. That’s what I tell young
people. Home is for seven hours of sleep and that’s it. The amount of time you spend at home is oppositely
correlated to your success professionally and romantically. You need to be out of the house.”
In another clip at the same event, the professor insisted that success and work-life balance do not go hand in
hand. He said, “If you expect to be in the top 10% economically, much less the top 1%, buck up. Two decades
plus, of nothing but work. That’s my experience.”
Galloway has long been an advocate of office working and shunned remote working habits because it
weakens young people’s ability to build relationships and network. He previously advised young workers, “Before
you collect dogs and spouses, get into the office, establish mentors, establish friends,” in an interview with CNN.
He added that workers who get promoted are the ones with the best relationships at work.
Billionaire CEO Elon Musk is also on a campaign against remote workers and called the practice “morally
wrong” in a recent interview with CNBC.
Musk has incorporated this value across his various companies including giving Tesla employees a final
warning to either quit or return to the office last year. He also called Twitter employees back to the office 40 hours
a week shortly after his $44 billion takeover.
However, remote working may be here to stay. Around 55% of remote workers in the US said they are
willing to take a pay cut to continue working from home, a recent poll by The Washington Post found.
5.What can be the harm of working from home according to Galloway?
A.Less successful careers. B.Imbalance between work and life.
C.Worse relationship at home. D.Loss of sleep time.
6.What can be Galloway’s advice to young workers?
A.Develop remote working habits. B.Keep a pet at home.
C.Establish relationships in the office. D.Get promotion at work.
7.Why are Tesla and Twitter mentioned in Paragraph 7?
试卷第8页,共3页A.To present n solution to remote working.
B.To explain the harm of working remotely.
C.To illustrate Musk’s attitude to working from home.
D.To warn the remote worker of the possible job loss.
8.What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A.Remote workers will be less paid.
B.Remote working will disappear sooner or later.
C.The majority of people prefer remote working.
D.Remote working is controversial among people.

(2023·湖南邵阳·统考三模)More families than ever are taking “adventures”—long term trips where
children learn on the road. Worldschooling (游学世界), adventuring, life-learning, whatever you call it, more
parents are doing it.
Take Jo and Jamie Robins, who are into a four-month South America trip with their daughters. “We want to
take some time to step back from life, the treadmill (枯燥无味的工作) of working hard to pay a mortgage (按揭
贷款), not having enough time for family or to follow our interests , says Jo.
David and Debs Hurst’s three-month mission to visit their Facebook friends with their sons turned into a
campervan(房车) trip across 13 countries. “To our minds, they are learning in a more interesting way,” says
David.
Martina and Julian Tyrrell sold their house in Cambridge to sail off into the sunset on a yacht(游艇) with
their daughters. Nearly two years on, they are now based by the Guadiana River on the border of Spain and
Portugal while the girls go to a Spanish school and are wondering where the wind might take them next. “When
people asked us how long we would be away, I jokingly said between six months and 60 years. The kids love the
life and I’m not that concerned about school because we always said we would homeschool them. If they get to a
point where they want to go to school, I won’t stand in their way,” says Martina.
The Department of Education takes a poor view of any time away from school. “Children must receive a
资料收集整理【淘宝店铺:向阳百分百】 11suitable education. Even missing a week of school affects children’s attainment,” said a spokeswoman.
Most round-the-world family blogs praise the experience as life-changing in the best way possible. Lara
Pennington-Ellis, a British single mum based in Barcelona who set off on a round-the-world trip with her eight-
year-old son, is one exception. I’m loving our intense time together but I’m also missing my personal freedom and
adult conversation. “Worldschooling sounds easygoing but it’s actually the hardest hour of the day, to work hard

(2023·山东淄博·统考三模)When Zhi Yueying, then 19, went to the remote Niyang village in Yichun
city, Jiangxi province, to work as a village teacher in 1980, villagers were doubtful if she was going to stay long.
Over the past four decades, Zhi has devoted herself to rural education. She is a recipient of Touching China
awards that recognize the most inspiring role models in 2016. She was also awarded as a model poverty fighter by
the government. Zhi has a profound understanding of the importance of education in the mountains. Over the
years, she has taught the students and cared for them, since many of them were “left-behind” children whose
parents migrated to other places to work. More than 1,000 students of hers have left the mountain area, and
created a better life for themselves.
Located amid the mountains, the village was very poor and far from any town. Villagers had to hike in the
mountains. “I arrived at the school in an early evening, and was shocked. I had known the conditions were poor,
but the reality was worse.” Moreover, local people needed to go downhill to buy daily necessities, and transport
them back in their hands or balanced across their shoulders. “I had never walked uphill on a mountain road before,
so I walked much more slowly than others, sometimes I walked slowly behind too much and was scared to tears,”
says Zhi. Sometimes she had to walk uphill by herself with a flashlight at night. The wild boars and rabbits
sometimes frightened her and she enhanced her courage by singing loudly.
But she gradually got used to her life there. At the beginning, she found many local people valued their sons
far more than their daughters, and would not like to let them attend school. Zhi went to their homes repeatedly and
gradually persuaded them to send all their children to school. For those who could not afford the tuition, she
spared her own money to help.
Zhi says seeing her students do well beyond the mountains is deeply rewarding. “My dream, the same as
before, is to stay by the side of more children. I know poverty will forever say goodbye to the mountainous
villages, to my students, and to myself,” says Zhi.
17.Why did Zhi choose to stay long in the mountains?
A.She was a village teacher.
B.She was a Touching China awards recipient.

(2023·江西·濂溪一中校联考模拟预测)Diplomacy (外交) is an art. It requires not only strategy, but also
other aspects, including intuition, persuasion, and even tricks, human skills that have long been unreachable to
even the most powerful artificial intelligence (AI) approaches. Now, an AI algorithm (算法) from a high-tech
company has shown it can beat many humans in a game of diplomacy, which required both strategic planning and
negotiations with other players. The work, researchers said, could point the way toward virtual exercise coaches
试卷第14页,共3页and conflict mediators (调解员) .
AI has already beaten humans in some games of strategy. It is also proving powerful at natural-language
processing, in which it can generate humanlike text and carry on conversations. In the game of diplomacy, seven
players vied for control of Europe. On each turn, players issued orders regarding the movement of army and
naval units, following discussion with other players, whom they could attack or support.
There are two technical innovations noted by Jonathan Gratch, a computer scientist at the University of
Southern California who studies negotiation agents. First, the Al agent’s com-munication is grounded in multistep
planning. Second. the Al agent keeps its remarks and game play within the range of human common practice.
To test its skill, the researchers had the Al agent play 40 online games against humans. It placed in the top
10% of players who’d played at least two games. “In a game that involves language and negotiation, that agents
can reach human equal level is very exciting,” said Yu, a computer scientist at Columbia University.
According to Brown, a computer scientist at the company who co-authored the paper, the work could lead to
practical applications in fields that now require a human touch. One specific example is that virtual personal
assistants might help consumers negotiate for better prices on plane tickets. Gratch and Yu both see opportunities
for agents that persuade people to make healthy choices or open up during therapy.
21.Who is likely to benefit from the research work?
A.A famous cyber athlete. B.A professor of civil law.
C.A professional accountant. D.A virtual fitness instructor.
22.What does the underlined word “vied” mean in paragraph 2?

(2023·河南·校联考模拟预测)The US government took extraordinary steps on Sunday after the historic
failure of Silicon Valley Bank (SVB), assuring depositors(存款人) at the institution that they would be able to
quickly access all of their money. The announcement came amid fears that the factors that caused the California-
based bank to fail could cause a banking contagion(漫延), and only a couple of hours before trading opened on
Asian markets.
The Treasury Department, the Federal Reserve and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) said
on Sunday that all SVB clients will be protected-including accounts that exceed the FDIC-insured limit of
$250,000. “Depositors will have access to all of their money starting on Monday, March 13. No losses associated
with the resolution of Silicon Valley Bank will be borne by the taxpayers,” the agencies said in a joint statement.
“This step will ensure that the US banking system continues to perform its vital roles in protecting deposits and
providing access to the money deposited in the bank for households and businesses in a manner that promotes
strong and sustainable economic growth.”
Regulators had worked over the weekend to try to come up with a buyer for SVB, the second-largest bank
failure in history. Those efforts appeared to have come up empty as of Sunday.
试卷第16页,共3页The regulators also announced that the New York-based Signature Bank had failed and its property was taken
on Sunday. At more than $110 billion in assets(资产), Signature Bank is now the third-largest bank failure in US
history. The officials also said that depositors at the bank, which was closed on Sunday by the New York state
financial regulator, would not bear the loss. Signature’s shareholders and unsecured debtors will not be protected,
and management has been removed, the officials said.
Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen had said earlier on Sunday that she was working with banking regulators to
respond after SVB became the largest bank to fail since the 2008 financial crisis, during which Washington
Mutual collapsed. SVB had $ 209 billion in assets and $175.4 billion in deposits at the time of failure, the FDIC
said in a statement. The bank mostly served technological companies. “We want to make sure that the troubles that
exist at one bank don’t create contagion to others,” Yellen told CBS’ Face the Nation.

A.The cause of the failure of Silicon Valley Bank.
B.The drawback of the US banking system.

(2023·四川凉山·统考二模)Online eating shows, or Mukbang, were originated in South Korea and have
gained popularity globally. Many hosts of such shows become popular for their ability to eat large amounts of
food. However, these shows have also received criticism for their waste of food. While some hosts actually do
consume the amount of food shown, others may be faking it. On Aug 12, CCTV exposed several Chinese hosts
who were eating large amounts of food while on camera, but actually later threw it away.
To discourage this practice, many video and live streaming platforms, including Douyin, Kuaishou and
Bilibili, have removed videos that show food waste, and have promoted messages to “avoid food waste and eat
reasonably”.
In June 2020, the United Nations warned that the world is on the verge of the worst food crisis in 50 years.
According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, about a third of the world’s food—1.3
billion tons—is wasted every year. In China alone, 50 million tons of food ends up in landfills every year,
according to Beijing News.
Recently, campaigns against food waste have been further promoted. In August, President Xi Jinping stressed
the need for safeguarding food security and avoiding food waste.
According to China Daily, restaurants and catering associations in more than 18 provinces and all 4
municipal cities have issued guidelines to control food waste.
In Shaanxi province, local restaurants have been asked to serve half portions to avoid waste. The Wuhan
Catering Association proposed that restaurants adopt the “N-1 mode”. For example, a group of 10 diners should
only order enough for nine people at first. More food is only brought to the table if required.
In addition, a nationwide “Clear Your Plate” campaign has been launched online. Users of Sina Weibo are
encouraged to share photos or videos of empty plates after finishing their meals.
33.Which of the following best explains the word “faking” underlined in paragraph 1?
A.Criticizing. B.Pretending.
C.Hating. D.Copying.
34.Why have many video and live streaming platforms removed some online eating shows?
试卷第20页,共3页A.Because hosts of these shows become too popular.
B.Because CCTV asks them to get rid of the shows of wasting food.
C.Because they don’t want to inspire the practice of wasting food.
D.Because the world is on the verge of the worst food crisis in 50 years.
35.Which of the following campaigns has been promoted to fight against food waste?
A.Guidelines to control food waste have been issued all over the country.
B.It’s been required that restaurants in Shaanxi give a smaller portion of food.
C.In Wuhan, all the restaurants have adopted the “N-1 mode”.
D.A nationwide “Clear Your Plate” campaign has been launched by the government.
36.What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.Online eating shows. B.Campaigns against waste.

“舌尖上的浪费”, 倡导国家文明新风尚,守卫国家粮食安全。
33.词义猜测题。分析可知,“While”用在句首,引导让步状语从句,即,前后句之间为让步转折关系,
前文“While some hosts actually do consume the amount of food shown(虽然有些主持人确实吃了这么多的食
物)”提到有些主持人确实吃了这么多的食物,因此,画线词所在句“others may be faking it”应是表达“有
的没有真正吃”含义,即,“假装吃”,由此可推知,“faking”一词的是“假装”。选项B“Pretending”
意为“假装”。故选B项。
34.细节理解题。根据文章第二段“To discourage this practice, many video and live streaming platforms,
including Douyin, Kuaishou and Bilibili, have removed videos that show food waste, and have promoted
messages to ‘avoid food waste and eat reasonably’.(为了制止这种做法,抖音、快手、哔哩哔哩等许多视频和

(2023·四川攀枝花·统考二模)Every year, the brightest young scientists from around the globe come
together to participate in the world’s largest pre-college science competition, the Intel International Science and
Engineering Fair(ISEF). They demonstrate their knowledge of science and engineering to improve the way we
work and live.
One of the winners, Katie Lu, found a method for removing oil from water. This concept can also be applied
to the removal of microplastics from our oceans as well. Here is what Katie told reporters:
My experience at Intel ISEF was amazing! I remember on judging day, walking the exhibit hall and looking
at the people gathered outside waiting to get in. My teacher turned to me and said, “That’s the future right there.”
It was so amazing to spend time with all of these participants who are going to do amazing things in the future.
My scientific career has taught me not to fear failure and not to be afraid to ask for help. It’s really easy to be
overwhelmed(挫败)and wonder if what you’re doing is going to work out, but even if it doesn’t, it’s OK! Always
look on the positive side! A failure now doesn’t mean you’re a failure forever. Failure makes success feel earned
when it comes. Also, asking for help is good when you’re struggling. You learn how to do things a lot faster and
more efficiently.
I’m shocked that some people are still skeptical about climate change. It’s real and dangerous, and it’ s one of
the most important issues of our generation. Reducing carbon emissions isn’t a “should”, it is a “must” to continue
living on the planet. Additionally, people aren’t really worried about their personal impact on the earth in terms of
littering, overusing plastic or wasting resources. If we don’t curb harmful human activity before it’s too late, it
will be a problem that affects all humans, not just those that contribute.
37.What can we learn from what Katie’s teacher said in Paragraph3?
A.No Intel ISEF, no future. B.Failure is the mother of success.
C.All the talents are at the Intel ISEF. D.The participants will make the future wonderful.
38.What docs Paragraph 4 mainly tell us?
A.The relationship between failure and success.
B.What Katie has gained from her scientific career.
C.Seeking help is a shortcut to doing things well.
D.The problems Katie experienced in her science.
39.The underlined word “curb” in the last paragraph probably means_________.

【答案】37.D 38.B 39.A 40.B
【导语】本文是新闻报道。每年,来自世界各地的年轻科学家聚集在一起,参加世界上最大的大学预科
科学竞赛—英特尔国际科学与工程博览会。文章报道了2019年的奖项获得者Katie在接受记着采访时,
表达了科学生涯给她的启迪和她对人们并不是真正关心环境问题的担忧。
37.细节理解题。根据第三段中Katie的老师对她说的话“That’s the future right there.(这就是未来。)”
以及Katie说的话“It was so amazing to spend time with all of these participants who are going to do amazing
things in the future.(能和这些将来会做出惊人事情的参与者们在一起真是太棒了。)”可知,Katie的老
师认为参加英特尔国际科学与工程博览会(ISEF)的这些年轻科学家们将让未来变得美好。故选D项。
38.主旨大意题。在第四段中Katie说“My scientific career has taught me not to fear failure and not to be
afraid to ask for help.(我的科学生涯教会了我不要害怕失败,不要害怕寻求帮助。)”;下文提到Katis
的感受“A failure now doesn’t mean you’re a failure forever. Failure makes success feel earned when it comes.
Also, asking for help is good when you’re struggling.(现在的失败并不意味着你永远都是一个失败者。失败
使成功来临时感到自己是辛苦挣来的。此外,当你遇到困难时,寻求帮助也是件好事。)”可知,该段
是阐述Katie从她的科学生涯中得到的启迪。故选B项。
39.词句猜测题。划线词前一句提到“people aren’t really worried about their personal impact on the earth in
terms of littering, overusing plastic or wasting resources.(人们并不是真正担心个人不好的行为,如乱扔垃圾、
过度使用塑料或浪费资源等对地球造成的影响。)”划线词后面的主句部分说明这类行为的不良影响“it
will be a problem that affects all humans .(这将是一个影响全人类的问题。)”从句“If we don’t curb
harmful human activity(如果我们curb有害的人类活动)”表示假设,可以猜测其意思为“如果不遏制人
类的这些对环境有害的行为”,其中“curb”意思为“遏制,控制”。故选A项。
40.推理判断题。文章第二段提到“One of the winners, Katie Lu, found a method for removing oil from
water. (其中一位获奖者,Katie Lu,发现了一种从水中去除油的方法。)” Katie Lu发现了一种从水中
去除油的方法,因此获奖。她的发现是关于环境问题的;以及文章最后一段中Katis所说的话“It’s real
and dangerous, and it’ s one of the most important issues of our generation. Reducing carbon emissions isn’t a
“should”, it is a “must” to continue living on the planet. (这是真实的,是危险的,也是我们这一代最重要的
问题之一。要继续生活在这个星球上,减少碳排放不是“应该”,而是“必须”。)”可知,Katis最关
注的是环境问题。故选B项。
