And some of the Chinese words I  　1　⁠ had something to do with food. I learned the names of a few dishes, but still didn’t know most of the things I saw on Chinese restaurant menus. Luckily, there were  　2　⁠ to help me. Nearly every restaurant menu in China has pictures of food  　3　⁠ it. But many restaurants I’ve been to in the US don’t. What is the  　4　⁠ for the difference? One thing I’ve definitely（明确地）  　5　⁠ about China is that food is a bigger part of their culture than it is in the US. A common way to  　6　⁠ someone in China is to ask them if they’ve eaten yet. Food is just a bigger deal here—and having pictures of food in menus is part of that. Some menus are almost like works of art, with beautiful photos. 一 二 三 四 五 六 七 八 Another thing is the  　7　⁠ of the dishes. Chinese dishes sometimes have fanciful（别出心裁的） names like “palace guard chicken” or “three fresh things from the soil”. These are interesting names, but they don’t really tell you  　8　⁠ the dishes are like. Therefore, it’s  　9　⁠ to have pictures so that you can actually see what you are going to eat. There are  　10　⁠ even more reasons. All I know is that I was very thankful to have those picture menus when I first came to China years ago. 一 二 三 四 五 六 七 八 （　A　）1.

The following ideas may sound strange but they can really help you. Exercise when you are tired. After a long and tiring day of study, exercising might not sound like a good idea, but it should. In fact, physical activities can provide you with the missing energy. Research shows that exercising for just 30 minutes can make you feel good! Write by hand to help the brain be active. Although writing something using a computer is faster, it is much better to remember the whole thing by writing it down by hand. When you read a handwritten text, naturally it’s easier for your brain to remember the information. A 一 二 三 四 五 六 七 八 Spare more time for yourself. By sparing some time for yourself and just being alone for a while, you can have a chance to think and get to know yourself better. And you won’t behave impulsively（冲动地）. Drink hot drinks on a hot day. What cools people more on a hot summer morning, cold water or hot water? The study shows that the hot water does make people feel cooler.

Artificial intelligence（AI） technology may help you do this in the near future! Researchers from Osaka University in Japan have trained an AI system to recreate images（再现图像） in people’s heads. The pictures AI has created include a teddy bear， an airplane and a clock tower. The technology is 80 percent accurate（准确的）, reported Science magazine. Previously（先前地） there have been AI models that can turn a word or phrase into images. The AI has studied lots of images and their text descriptions. Over time, the AI can find patterns and recreate pictures if you first input（输入） text. 一 二 三 四 五 六 七 八 This time, the researchers took a step further. They trained the AI to link people’s brain scan data（扫描数据） with images. They asked four people to look at 10,000 different images, and let the AI find patterns of blood flow in the brain. Then the patterns can be related to the images. If people looked at an airplane, the AI would use the brain scan data to create an image of a very cloudy airplane. Then, it would turn on the previous “text-to-image” model. By feeding the keyword “airplane”, the AI would improve the image and make it more real. “It’s a new method that combines textual and visual information to ‘decipher（破译） the brain’,” Ariel Goldstein from Princeton University told Science magazine. Researchers said the technology could some day help people with paralysis（瘫痪） to communicate. It might also help scientists under-stand dreams or even how other animals see the world. 一 二 三 四 五 六 七 八 （　C　）1. What do we know about the AI system mentioned in Paragraph 2? A. It can help train people’s minds. B. It was created for drawing people’s heads. C. It can recreate pictures in people’s heads. D. It can fully present people’s dreams. （　D　）2. How did the previous AI models turn phrases into images? A. By drawing pictures according to users’ orders. B. By understanding the meaning of the words. C. By finding different photos from the Internet. D. By finding patterns in images and their text descriptions. C D 一 二 三 四 五 六 七 八 （　C　）3. What is the working process of the new AI system? A. relate with the image → scan blood flow → improve the text → turn into the image B. relate with the image → turn into text → scan blood flow → improve the image C. scan blood flow → relate with the image → turn into text → improve the image D. scan blood flow → turn into text → relate with the image → improve the image （　A　）4. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “patterns” in Paragraph 3? A. 规律 B. 业绩 C. 影像 D. 漏洞 （　C　）5. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. How to know the way animals see the world. B. How people with paralysis talk with others. C. What the new AI technology could be used for. D. How AI technology affects people’s dreams. C A C 一 二 三 四 五 六 七 八 （　C　） Live-streaming（直播） has become very popular in China. Viewers can interact（交流） with hosts by messaging them, buying them gifts, or sending them tips. However, some children are spending too much money on live-streaming platforms. Earlier this year, a teenager in Jingmen, sent tips that added up to 150,000 yuan to a host. That sum of money was his parents’ life savings. To prevent things like this from happening again, the National Radio and Television Administration introduced a new regulation（规定） to better manage live-streaming services. The regulation bans children from tipping or sending gifts to live-streaming hosts and performers. It also requires people to register（注册） on live-streaming sites with their real names. C 一 二 三 四 五 六 七 八 This new regulation has been welcomed by parents. According to Legal Daily, about one fifth of live-streaming viewers in 2019 were children. “Online shows and live-streaming have become so popular. I always feel worried that my son might become addicted to（沉迷于） them or do something that is harmful to his growth,” said Wang Haifeng, a mother of a 15-year-old boy in Beijing. “Stricter management makes me feel safer.” In addition, there are some other measures to help manage live-streaming services. For example, live-streaming platforms will be required to put a limit on how much money people can send to live-streamers. Once the limit is reached, viewers will not be able to send gifts or tips. Other regulations include stopping live-streaming platforms encouraging viewers to send gifts or tips. Any host who is found doing this will be added to a blacklist. 一 二 三 四 五 六 七 八 （　B　）1. In 2019， how many live-streaming viewers were children according to Legal Daily? A. One fourth. B. About one fifth. C. Two fifths. D. About two thirds. （　C　）2. What does the underlined word “this” refer to? A. Some children send messages to hosts. B. Some children become addicted to live-streaming. C. Some children spend too much money on live-streaming platforms. D. Some children like interacting with hosts. B C 一 二 三 四 五 六 七 八 （　A　） 3. Why has the new regulation been welcomed by parents? ①Because it stops children from tipping or sending gifts to live-streaming hosts. ②Because it may avoid the harm to children’s growth. ③Because the stricter management makes parents feel safer. ④Because it saves much time for children. ⑤Because it encourages hosts to send gifts to children. A. ①②③ B. ①④⑤ C. ①②④ D. ②③⑤ A 一 二 三 四 五 六 七 八 （　B　）4. What does the new regulation NOT include? A. Hosts should register on live-streaming sites with their real names. B. Any host who receives gifts or tips will be added to a blacklist. C. Live-streaming platforms are required to put a limit on how much money people can send to live-streamers. D. Children are not allowed to tip or send gifts to live-streaming hosts. B 一 二 三 四 五 六 七 八 （　C　）5. What is the best title for this passage? A. Stop spending money on live-streaming B. A new regulation for children C. New rules for live-streaming services D. The management of live-streaming platforms. C 一 二 三 四 五 六 七 八 四、 用方框中所给的选项补全对话（有两项多余）（每小题2分，共10分） A.
