Much before it began we started planning how to spend it. I suggested that we should go to Shillong. But my sister insisted that we see Darjeeling. My father decided that we would go to both places with one month’s stay at each place. So, it was decided that we would be going first to Shillong and then to Darjeeling. We left the New Delhi Railway Station four days after the vacation began. It was a very long and tiring journey. The train reached Guwahati in the evening. The next day, early in the morning we drove to Shillong. We stayed there for nearly a month in the hotel. The climate was no doubt cool and pleasant, but there were very few places of interest. We left Shillong on June 4th. On our way to Darjeeling, we traveled by train. We saw thick forests and beautiful tea gardens. We reached Darjeeling at about noon. We took a taxi and went to a hotel where reservations had been earlier arranged by my father. One day we went to the Tiger Hills by taxi at 4 a.m. to enjoy the famous sunrise. It was a wonderful sight which we had never seen before. And that was the last day of our vacation. 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、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Art Contest — Technology &You! Technology is everywhere these days.

Do you feel excitement every time you get a notification message, or do you feel tied down by these digital “chains”?(你对科技、社交媒体和手机有什么看法?每次收到通知信息时，你会感到兴奋吗?还是觉得自己被这些数字“链条”束缚住了?)”和第二段中“However you feel, we want you to put that into artwork-paintings, digital art or photography.(无论你的感受如何，我们都希望你把它融入艺术作品——绘画、数字艺术或摄影)”可知，这次艺术比赛的主题是人们对科技的看法。故选D项。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据Details and requirements部分中“Entries must be a piece of artwork created by the entrants themselves. (参赛作品必须是参赛者自己创作的作品)”可知，提交原创作品对参赛作品的要求之一。故选A项。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“You may even see your art work in future issues of Teen Ink magazine.(你甚至可以在未来的Teen Ink杂志上看到你的艺术作品)”可知，Teen Ink是杂志。故选B项。 B During my graduate studies, countless workshops taught me one thing: To make it in science, one must design and carry out big projects. As I established my own research lab, a senior colleague encouraged me to try something big. So when I landed an associate professor position, my goal seemed obvious: I should perform big projects. This was the only way to lay a foundation for a successful academic research career. The path, however, would not be as clear as I had pictured. When I contacted famous researchers to suggest cooperating, as is typically required for high-profile projects, they frequently replied enthusiastically to start, agreeing my project sounded interesting and promising. But when they learned I had just established my lab, they became skeptical and hesitant, ultimately saying no. And when I sought grant funding, my lack of experience and reputation was cited as a reason to deny support for my ambitious proposals. I spent about two years being stuck in this mindset, excited about my big ideas but making little actual progress, leading to frustration and depression. As I neared my breaking point, I began to ask myself: were big projects really the only route? When I shifted to small projects, I became brave enough to step into fields I was not familiar with. By reading papers in new areas, I found creative ideas to pursue. When I discussed these adventurous, low-cost projects with early-career researchers, they were glad to cooperate. We secured funding. When I published papers out of these projects, they were not exciting enough to make headlines — but for me, it was a moment of joy and self-contentment. It has now been 3 years since I embraced this “small” approach. Sometimes senior colleagues say I’m wasting time with projects that aren’t important enough. But I disagree. When I do these studies, I also find clues for future big projects. Going forward, I will still commit part of my time to exploring small projects, which I think can help pursue more fundamental questions 24. What is the author trying to do with big projects? A. Establish an academic research center. B. Pursue his graduate studies. C. Seek a route to academic success. D. Apply for an associate professorship. 25. What prevented the author pursuing his big project? A. The toughness of work. B. The opposition from colleagues. C. Lack of necessary support. D. Shortage of academic talents. 26. How did the author carry out his small project? A. By publishing influential papers. B. By getting young colleagues’ funding. C. By cooperating with senior colleagues. D. By exploring and initiating new ideas. 27. What does the author learn from his experience? A. Good jobs require a high degree. B. Small doesn’t mean unimportant. C. Success results from preparation. D. Ambition isn’t fit for the young. 【答案】24. C 25. C 26. D 27. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。讲述了作者本想通过大项目当作寻求学术成功的途径，但是由于缺乏经验和声誉没能成功。 后来作者转向小项目，找到了可以追求的创造性想法，逐步走向成功。 由此作者感悟到在创业过程中小项目不代表不重要，而且有助于解决更基本的问题。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“This was the only way to lay a foundation for a successful academic research career. (这是为成功的学术研究生涯奠定基础的唯一途径。)”可知，作者想用大项目当作寻求学术成功的途径。故选C。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“But when they learned I had just established my lab, they became skeptical and hesitant, ultimately saying no. And when I sought grant funding, my lack of experience and reputation was cited as a reason to deny support for my ambitious proposals. (但当他们得知我刚刚建立了实验室时，他们开始怀疑和犹豫，最终拒绝了。当我寻求拨款时，我缺乏经验和声誉被认为是拒绝支持我雄心勃勃的提议的原因。)”可知，缺乏必要的支持阻止了作者追求他的大项目。故选C。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“When I shifted to small projects, I became brave enough to step into fields I was not familiar with. By reading papers in new areas, I found creative ideas to pursue. (当我转向小项目时，我变得足够勇敢，踏入了我不熟悉的领域。通过阅读新领域的论文，我找到了可以追求的创造性想法。)”可知，作者通过探索和提出新的想法进行他的小项目的。故选D。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Going forward, I will still commit part of my time to exploring small projects, which I think can help pursue more fundamental questions (展望未来，我仍将把部分时间用于探索小项目，我认为这有助于解决更基本的问题)”可知，作者从他的经历中学到小不代表不重要。故选B。 C Alexis was a student, the only son of his wealthy parents, and felt entitled to the luxuries he had in his life. On a class field trip, Alexis met the forester, Justin, who had been living in a wooden house in the forest over ten years. When learning Justin’s life, Alexis laughed at him with his friends. During the field trip, Alexis and his classmates passed by an entrance to a cave. “This looks so cool!” Alexis exclaimed. He wanted to go inside the cave, but his teacher stopped him. The next day, Alexis reached the cave with his four friends, only to find they couldn’t take their schoolbags through the entrance. One by one, the teenagers entered the cave and were amazed to see how wide it was from the inside. Albert picked a large stone up and hit one of the walls with it. “This place is so cool!” he laughed quietly before the rocks from the wall came falling. “Watch out, Albert!” Alexis said and pulled Albert towards himself. The teenagers screamed in fear when they saw the rocks fall. They couldn’t see anything because of the dust floating in the air. The friends were scared when they realized they were trapped in the cave. “HELP! WE ARE STUCK!” the teenagers started screaming for help, hoping someone would hear them. Fate sent Justin to the cave. The forester picked berries every day from the trees near the cave. While he was walking back to his house, five bright-colored schoolbags caught his attention. Then he approached the cave and shouted, “Hey! Who’s in there?” “I’m Alexis ! I came here yesterday with my teacher! Help us, please! We are stuck!” “Okay, calm down, children! I’ll help you out!” Justin said. Justin quickly called 911 and informed them about the kids in the cave. Thinking the paramedics (护理人员) would take at least twenty minutes to arrive he decided to help the kids himself before it was too late. Justin quickly grabbed a shovel and a flashlight and rushed back to the cave’s entrance. Meanwhile, Alexis and his friends tried to stay calm. A few minutes later, Alexis and his friends could see the flashlight shine through the cave’s entrance. Seconds later, they rushed outside the cave and took a deep breath in the fresh air. Just then, the paramedics arrived. 28. What may lead to Alexis looking down on Justin? A. His lower education. B. His poor family. C. His bad reputation. D. His living condition. 29. How did Alexis feel about the cave at first? A. Doubtful. B. Curious. C. astonished. D. Scared. 30. Why did Justin appear near the cave? A. It was his daily routine. B. He saw five colorful schoolbags. C. He came to look for the children. D. He heard the screaming for help. 31. What lesson can we learn from the story ? A. Lucky or unlucky. B. Don’t judge a person by his looks. C. Curiosity kills the cat. D. Once in a blue moon. 【答案】28. D 29. B 30. A 31. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了亚历克西斯因为好奇走进山洞，结果和其他人一起被困在了山洞里，多亏了贾斯汀及时发现，救了他们。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Alexis was a student, the only son of his wealthy parents，and felt entitled to the luxuries he had in his life. On a class field trip, Alexis met the forester, Justin, who had been living in a wooden house in the forest over ten years. When learning Justin’s life, Alexis laughed at him with his friends.(亚历克西斯是一名学生，是有钱父母的独子，他觉得自己有资格享受生活中的奢侈品。在一次班级实地考察中，亚历克西斯遇到了护林人贾斯汀，他在森林里的一所木屋里住了十年多。得知贾斯汀的生活后，亚历克西斯和他的朋友们一起嘲笑他)”可知，生活条件导致亚历克西斯看不起贾斯汀。故选D。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“During the field trip, Alexis and his classmates passed by an entrance to a cave. “This looks so cool!” Alexis exclaimed. He wanted to go inside the cave, but his teacher stopped him. (在实地考察中，亚历克西斯和他的同学们经过一个洞穴的入口。‘这看起来太酷了！’亚历克西斯喊道。他想进入洞穴，但他的老师阻止了他)”可知，亚历克西斯一开始对山洞感到好奇，想进入洞穴。故选B。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段“Fate sent Justin to the cave. The forester picked berries every day from the trees near the cave. While he was walking back to his house, five bright-colored schoolbags caught his attention. Then he approached the cave and shouted, “Hey! Who’s in there?”(命运把贾斯汀送到了山洞里。护林人每天从洞穴附近的树上摘浆果。在回家的路上，五个色彩鲜艳的书包引起了他的注意。然后他走近山洞，喊道：“嘿！谁在里面？”)”可知，护林人贾斯廷每天从洞穴附近的树上摘浆果，出现在洞穴附近是因为他的日常生活。故选A。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“During the field trip, Alexis and his classmates passed by an entrance to a cave. “This looks so cool!” Alexis exclaimed. He wanted to go inside the cave, but his teacher stopped him.(在实地考察中，亚历克西斯和他的同学们经过一个洞穴的入口。‘这看起来太酷了！’亚历克西斯喊道。他想进入洞穴，但他的老师阻止了他)”、第三段中“The next day, Alexis reached the cave with his four friends, only to find they couldn’t take their schoolbags through the entrance. One by one, the teenagers entered the cave and were amazed to see how wide it was from the inside.(第二天，亚历克西斯和他的四个朋友来到山洞，却发现他们不能带着书包通过洞口。少年们一个接一个地进入洞穴，从里面看到它有多宽，他们感到很惊讶。) ”、第五段“The friends were scared when they realized they were trapped in the cave. “HELP! WE ARE STUCK!” the teenagers started screaming for help, hoping someone would hear them.(当朋友们意识到他们被困在山洞里时，他们很害怕。“救命！我们被困住了！”孩子们开始大声呼救，希望有人能听到)”以及倒数第二段可知，文章主要讲述了亚历克西斯因为好奇走进山洞，结果和其他人一起被困在了山洞里，多亏了贾斯汀及时发现，救了他们。由此可知，这个故事告诉我们过度的好奇心可能会导致不好的后果，即好奇害死猫。故选C。 D When people hear “artificial intelligence,” many envision “big data.” There’s a reason for that: some of the most important AI breakthroughs in the past decade have relied on enormous data sets. But AI is not only about large data sets, and research in “small data” approaches has grown extensively over the past decade—with so-called transfer learning as an especially promising example. Also known as “fine-tuning,” transfer learning is helpful in settings where you have little data on the task of interest but abundant data on a related problem. The way it works is that you first train a model using a big data set and then retrain slightly using a smaller data set related to your specific problem. Research in transfer learning approaches has grown impressively over the past 10 years. In a new report for Georgetown University’s Center for Security and Emerging Technology (CSET), we examined current and projected progress in scientific research across “small data” approaches. Our analysis found that transfer learning stands out as a category that has experienced the most consistent and highest research growth on average since 2010. This growth has even outpaced the larger and more established field of reinforcement learning, which in recent years has attracted widespread attention. Small data approaches such as transfer learning offer numerous advantages over more data-intensive methods. By enabling the use of AI with less data, they can bolster progress in areas where little or no data exist, such as in forecasting natural disasters that occur relatively rarely or in predicting the risk of disease for a population set that does not have digital health records. Another way of thinking about the value of transfer learning is in terms of generalization. A recurring challenge in the use of AI is that models need to “generalize” beyond their training data. Because transfer learning models work by transferring knowledge from one task to another, they are very helpful in improving generalization in the new task, even if only limited data were available. Moreover, by using pretrained models, transfer learning can speed up training time and could also reduce the amount of computational resources needed to train algorithms (算法). This efficiency is significant, considering that the process of training one large neural (神经系统的) network requires considerable energy. Despite the growth in research, transfer learning has received relatively little visibility. The existence of techniques such as transfer learning does not seem to have reached the awareness of the broader space of policy makers and business leaders in positions of making important decisions about AI funding and adoption. By acknowledging the success of small data techniques like transfer learning—and distributing resources to support their widespread use—we can help overcome some of the common misconceptions regarding the role of data in AI and facilitate innovation in new directions. 32. What does the underlined word “bolster” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Promote. B. Seek. C. Track. D. Monitor. 33. In which of the following settings can transfer learning be best applied? A. Predicting the frequency of floods in Amazon rainforest. B. Designing a program that can read handwritten documents. C. Forecasting the number of people infected with an unknown illness. D. Predicting house prices based on basic features like area and location. 34. What is the writer’s attitude towards transfer learning? A. Doubtful. B. Optimistic. C. Critical. D. Unconcerned. 35. Which would be the best title for the passage? A. Transfer Learning: Where Does It Best Fit? B. Small Data Are Also Crucial for Advancing AI C. Transfer Learning Powers Technological Advances D. Big Data vs. Small Data: Which Is the Future of AI? 【答案】32. A 33. C 34. B 35. B 【解析】 【导语】文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了小数据在人工智能领域的重要性，特别是转移学习的作用和价值。 【32题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第三段的“such as in forecasting natural disasters that occur relatively rarely or in predicting the risk of disease for a population set that does not have digital health records.”（例如预测罕见的自然灾害或预测没有数字健康记录的人群的疾病风险。）可知，通过使人工智能能够使用较少的数据，他们可以在几乎没有数据的领域推动进步。bolster在这里的意思是“推动”。故选A。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段的“Small data approaches such as transfer learning offer numerous advantages over more data-intensive methods. By enabling the use of AI with less data, they can bolster progress in areas where little or no data exist, such as in forecasting natural disasters that occur relatively rarely or in predicting the risk of disease for a population set that does not have digital health records.”（像迁移学习这样的小数据方法比数据密集的方法有很多优势。人工智能能够使用较少的数据，他们可以在几乎没有数据的领域推动进步，例如预测罕见的自然灾害或预测没有数字健康记录的人群的疾病风险。）可推知，转移学习可以最好地应用于预测未知疾病感染人数的情况。故选C。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段的“By acknowledging the success of small data techniques like transfer learning—and distributing resources to support their widespread use—we can help overcome some of the common misconceptions regarding the role of data in AI and facilitate innovation in new directions.”（通过承认转移学习等小数据技术的成功，并分配资源支持其广泛使用，我们可以帮助克服关于数据在人工智能中的角色的一些常见误解，并促进新方向的创新。）可推知，作者对转移学习持乐观态度。故选B。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“But AI is not only about large data sets, and research in “small data” approaches has grown extensively over the past decade”（ 但人工智能不仅仅是关于大数据集，在过去的十年里，对“小数据”方法的研究也得到了广泛的发展）可知，短文主要讲述了小数据在人工智能领域的重要性，特别是转移学习的作用和价值。故短文的标题为“小数据对于推进人工智能也至关重要”切题。故选B。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 Literature is not practical, especially the classic literary works.

Secondly, we need to know how the literary works reflect society and the culture. 【答案】36. C 37. D 38. B 39. E 40. G 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了阅读文学的几个目的。 【36题详解】 根据上文“Literature is not practical, especially the classic literary works. They are old, and simply relics of time. Certainly they will not help us find a better job or guide us to make more money in the future.(文学是不实用的，尤其是经典的文学作品。它们很古老，只是时间的遗物。当然，他们不会帮助我们找到更好的工作或指导我们在未来赚更多的钱)”可知，上文提到文学不实用，不会帮助我们找到更好的工作或指导我们在未来赚更多的钱。由此推知，文学似乎一点用都没有。故C选项“文学似乎一点用都没有”符合语境，故选C。 【37题详解】 根据上文“Our ancient master Confucius said that a superior man should not be a practical utensil. We read not to make money but to be a better person.(我们古代的孔子说过，君子不应是实用的器具。我们读书不是为了赚钱，而是为了成为一个更好的人)”可知，上文提到阅读是为了成为更好的人，本句为本段最后一句，且后文陈述了阅读文学的两个目的，由此推知，空处指出阅读文学有几个目的。故D选项“阅读文学作品有几个目的”符合语境，故选D。 【38题详解】 根据上文“Literature is the record of human history. All human experience in history has been recorded in literature. The sweetest love, the most heartbroken betrayal, the cruelest war, the hardest struggle, the joyful laughter and the miserable cry, the most precious friendship and the most fierce hatred.(文学是人类历史的记录。人类历史上的一切经验都记录在文学作品中。最甜蜜的爱情，最心碎的背叛，最残酷的战争，最艰苦的斗争，欢乐的欢笑和痛苦的哭泣，最珍贵的友谊和最猛烈的仇恨)”可知，很多东西都能在文学里找到。故B选项“没有你在文学作品中找不到的”符合语境，故选B。 【39题详解】 根据后文“When standing in front of the shelves of books in English literature, which are the most valuable ones we should digest? Firstly, we need to know who the most important writers are and what their important literary works are.(当我们站在英国文学的书架前，哪一本是我们最应该消化的？首先，我们需要知道谁是最重要的作家，他们的重要文学作品是什么)”后文提到了书架，可知本句与图书馆的内容有关，故E选项“进入文学世界就像走进图书馆”符合语境，故选E。 【40题详解】 根据上文“Firstly, we need to know who the most important writers are and what their important literary works are.(首先，我们需要知道谁是最重要的作家，他们的重要文学作品是什么)”和下文“Finally, we need to learn to form our own literary taste, to know what a good literary work is like and what an ordinary one might be.(最后，我们要学会形成自己的文学品味，知道什么是好的文学作品，什么是普通的文学作品)”可知，上文为第一点，下文为最后一点，由此推知，本句应当是第二点内容，故G选项“第二，我们需要知道文学作品是如何反映社会和文化的”符合语境，故选G。 第三部分语言知识运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共215小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项A、B、 C和D中, 选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 In moments of danger, superheroes don’t ____41____, they leap into action.

As much as Jackie tried, he lacked the sense of basic rhythm (节奏). At the end of each lesson, he’d say, “My mom’s going to hear me play someday.” But it seemed hopeless. I only knew his mother from a distance as she waited in her aged car, but never stepped in. Then one day Jackie stopped coming to our lessons. I thought about calling him but assumed (认为), because of his lack of ability, that he had decided to quit. I also was glad that he stopped coming—he was a bad advertisement for my teaching! Several weeks later I mailed a letter on the upcoming concert to the students’ homes. Surprisingly, Jackie received and asked me if he could be in the concert. I told him that the concert was not for dropouts (辍学者), but for current pupils. He said that his mom had been sick and unable to take him to piano lessons but he was still practicing. I didn’t know what led me to agree eventually. The night for the concert came. The high school gymnasium was packed with parents and friends. I put up Jackie last in the program. I thought that any damage he would do would come at the end of the program and the negative effect would be reduced to the minimum (最小值). The concert went off smoothly. Then Jackie came up on stage. His clothes were wrinkled (皱巴巴的) and his hair looked messy (凌乱的). “Why didn’t his mother at least make him comb his hair for this special night?” I thought. 注意：续写词数应为150左右。 Paragraph 1: Unexpectedly, Jackie chose Mozart’s Piano Concerto No.21 in C Major. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Immediately I ran up on stage and held Jackie firmly in great joy, asking “How did you do it?” ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1: Unexpectedly, Jackie chose Mozart’s Piano Concerto No.21 in C Major. Jackie pulled out the piano bench and began his performance. In fact, I was not fully prepared for what I heard next. His fingers were dancing on keys, which made me extremely shocked. Never had I heard Mozart played so well by people of his age. After six and a half minutes, he ended up very well. Everyone at present was wild with great excitement and was on their feet, breaking into loud applause. After the performance, he stepped off the stage. Paragraph 2: Immediately I ran up on stage and held Jackie firmly in great joy, asking “How did you do it?” “Well…remember I told you my mom was sick?” He explained, with tears rolling in her eyes, “In the past few months, she has always accompanied and encouraged me. Actually she had cancer, with little chance to survive. Today, I didn’t let her down.” After hearing his word, tears were welling up in my eyes. And at that moment, I realized it was he that taught me the true meaning of perseverance and love. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者接收了一个来学钢琴的学生Jackie，虽然Jackie很努力，但是一直缺乏乐感，每次下课后他总是说：“我妈妈总有一天会听到我演奏的”。但是他一直没有进展。有一天，Jackie没有来上课，作者以为他放弃了，但是几周之后，当作者要举办音乐会时，Jackie来了，并恳求作者答应让他上台表演。作者最终答应了。音乐会那晚，作者看到Jackie后很担心他把自己的音乐会搞砸了。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“出乎意料地，Jackie选择了演奏Mozart’s Concerto   C大调第21协奏曲。”可知，第一段可描写Jackie在舞台上的表现，观众的反应以及作者心情的变化。 ②由第二段首句内容“我开心地紧紧抓住Jackie，并问他：你是怎么做到的？”可知，第二段可描写Jackie讲述自己能做到的原因以及作者的感悟。 2.续写线索：惊讶——担心——开心——问原因——解释——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①演奏：dancing on keys / played so well / marvelled at his excellent piano playing ②眼含热泪：tears rolling in his eyes / tears welling up ③实际上：actually/in fact 情绪类 ①惊讶的：shocked/astonished/amazed ②兴奋的：wild with great excitement / thrilled/breaking into loud applause 【点睛】[高分句型1].

B During my graduate studies, countless workshops taught me one thing: To make it in science, one must design and carry out big projects. As I established my own research lab, a senior colleague encouraged me to try something big. So when I landed an associate professor position, my goal seemed obvious: I should perform big projects. This was the only way to lay a foundation for a successful academic research career. The path, however, would not be as clear as I had pictured. When I contacted famous researchers to suggest cooperating, as is typically required for high-profile projects, they frequently replied enthusiastically to start, agreeing my project sounded interesting and promising. But when they learned I had just established my lab, they became skeptical and hesitant, ultimately saying no. And when I sought grant funding, my lack of experience and reputation was cited as a reason to deny support for my ambitious proposals. I spent about two years being stuck in this mindset, excited about my big ideas but making little actual progress, leading to frustration and depression. As I neared my breaking point, I began to ask myself: were big projects really the only route? When I shifted to small projects, I became brave enough to step into fields I was not familiar with. By reading papers in new areas, I found creative ideas to pursue. When I discussed these adventurous, low-cost projects with early-career researchers, they were glad to cooperate. We secured funding. When I published papers out of these projects, they were not exciting enough to make headlines — but for me, it was a moment of joy and self-contentment. It has now been 3 years since I embraced this “small” approach. Sometimes senior colleagues say I’m wasting time with projects that aren’t important enough. But I disagree. When I do these studies, I also find clues for future big projects. Going forward, I will still commit part of my time to exploring small projects, which I think can help pursue more fundamental questions 24 What is the author trying to do with big projects? A.

On a class field trip, Alexis met the forester, Justin, who had been living in a wooden house in the forest over ten years. When learning Justin’s life, Alexis laughed at him with his friends. During the field trip, Alexis and his classmates passed by an entrance to a cave. “This looks so cool!” Alexis exclaimed. He wanted to go inside the cave, but his teacher stopped him. The next day, Alexis reached the cave with his four friends, only to find they couldn’t take their schoolbags through the entrance. One by one, the teenagers entered the cave and were amazed to see how wide it was from the inside. Albert picked a large stone up and hit one of the walls with it. “This place is so cool!” he laughed quietly before the rocks from the wall came falling. “Watch out, Albert!” Alexis said and pulled Albert towards himself. The teenagers screamed in fear when they saw the rocks fall. They couldn’t see anything because of the dust floating in the air. The friends were scared when they realized they were trapped in the cave. “HELP! WE ARE STUCK!” the teenagers started screaming for help, hoping someone would hear them. Fate sent Justin to the cave. The forester picked berries every day from the trees near the cave. While he was walking back to his house, five bright-colored schoolbags caught his attention. Then he approached the cave and shouted, “Hey! Who’s in there?” “I’m Alexis ! I came here yesterday with my teacher! Help us, please! We are stuck!” “Okay, calm down, children! I’ll help you out!” Justin said. Justin quickly called 911 and informed them about the kids in the cave. Thinking the paramedics (护理人员) would take at least twenty minutes to arrive, he decided to help the kids himself before it was too late. Justin quickly grabbed a shovel and a flashlight and rushed back to the cave’s entrance. Meanwhile, Alexis and his friends tried to stay calm. A few minutes later, Alexis and his friends could see the flashlight shine through the cave’s entrance. Seconds later, they rushed outside the cave and took a deep breath in the fresh air. Just then, the paramedics arrived. 28. What may lead to Alexis looking down on Justin? A. His lower education. B. His poor family. C. His bad reputation. D. His living condition. 29.

Don’t judge a person by his looks. C. Curiosity kills the cat. D. Once in a blue moon. D When people hear “artificial intelligence” many envision “big data.” There’s a reason for that: some of the most important AI breakthroughs in the past decade have relied on enormous data sets. But AI is not only about large data sets, and research in “small data” approaches has grown extensively over the past decade—with so-called transfer learning as an especially promising example. Also known as “fine-tuning,” transfer learning is helpful in settings where you have little data on the task of interest but abundant data on a related problem. The way it works is that you first train a model using a big data set and then retrain slightly using a smaller data set related to your specific problem. Research in transfer learning approaches has grown impressively over the past 10 years. In a new report for Georgetown University’s Center for Security and Emerging Technology (CSET), we examined current and projected progress in scientific research across “small data” approaches. Our analysis found that transfer learning stands out as a category that has experienced the most consistent and highest research growth on average since 2010. This growth has even outpaced the larger and more established field of reinforcement learning, which in recent years has attracted widespread attention. Small data approaches such as transfer learning offer numerous advantages over more data-intensive methods. By enabling the use of AI with less data, they can bolster progress in areas where little or no data exist, such as in forecasting natural disasters that occur relatively rarely or in predicting the risk of disease for a population set that does not have digital health records. Another way of thinking about the value of transfer learning is in terms of generalization. A recurring challenge in the use of AI is that models need to “generalize” beyond their training data. Because transfer learning models work by transferring knowledge from one task to another, they are very helpful in improving generalization in the new task, even if only limited data were available. Moreover, by using pretrained models, transfer learning can speed up training time and could also reduce the amount of computational resources needed to train algorithms (算法). This efficiency is significant, considering that the process of training one large neural (神经系统的) network requires considerable energy. Despite the growth in research, transfer learning has received relatively little visibility. The existence of techniques such as transfer learning does not seem to have reached the awareness of the broader space of policy makers and business leaders in positions of making important decisions about AI funding and adoption. By acknowledging the success of small data techniques like transfer learning—and distributing resources to support their widespread use—we can help overcome some of the common misconceptions regarding the role of data in AI and facilitate innovation in new directions. 32. What does the underlined word “bolster” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Promote. B. Seek. C. Track. D. Monitor. 33. In which of the following settings can transfer learning be best applied? A. Predicting the frequency of floods in Amazon rainforest. B. Designing a program that can read handwritten documents. C. Forecasting the number of people infected with an unknown illness. D. Predicting house prices based on basic features like area and location. 34. What is the writer’s attitude towards transfer learning? A. Doubtful. B. Optimistic. C. Critical. D. Unconcerned. 35. Which would be the best title for the passage? A. Transfer Learning: Where Does It Best Fit? B. Small Data Are Also Crucial for Advancing AI C. Transfer Learning Powers Technological Advances D. Big Data vs. Small Data: Which Is the Future of AI? 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 Literature is not practical, especially the classic literary works.

As much as Jackie tried, he lacked the sense of basic rhythm (节奏). At the end of each lesson, he’d say, “My mom’s going to hear me play someday.” But it seemed hopeless. I only knew his mother from a distance as she waited in her aged car, but never stepped in. Then one day Jackie stopped coming to our lessons. I thought about calling him but assumed (认为), because of his lack of ability, that he had decided to quit. I also was glad that he stopped coming—he was a bad advertisement for my teaching! Several weeks later I mailed a letter on the upcoming concert to the students’ homes. Surprisingly, Jackie received and asked me if he could be in the concert. I told him that the concert was not for dropouts (辍学者), but for current pupils. He said that his mom had been sick and unable to take him to piano lessons but he was still practicing. I didn’t know what led me to agree eventually. The night for the concert came. The high school gymnasium was packed with parents and friends. I put up Jackie last in the program. I thought that any damage he would do would come at the end of the program and the negative effect would be reduced to the minimum (最小值). The concert went off smoothly. Then Jackie came up on stage. His clothes were wrinkled (皱巴巴的) and his hair looked messy (凌乱的). “Why didn’t his mother at least make him comb his hair for this special night?” I thought. 注意：续写词数应为150左右。 Paragraph 1: Unexpectedly, Jackie chose Mozart’s Piano Concerto No.21 in C Major. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Immediately I ran up on stage and held Jackie firmly in great joy, asking “How did you do it?” ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$听力考试正式开始。Excuse me, am I on the right road to great lake?

Every year, much before IT began, we started planning how to spend IT. I suggested that we should go to see long, but my sister insisted that we see darjeeling. My father decided that we would go to both places with one month stay at each place. So IT was decided that we would be going first to shallow and then to darjeeling. We left the new delhi railway station four days after the vacation began. IT was a very long entering journey. The train reached go a hot in the evening. The next day, early in the morning, we drove to shallow. We stayed, therefore nearly a month in the hotel. Climate was no doubt cool and pleasant, but there were very few places of interest. We left strong on june fourth on our way to our dealing. We traveled by train. We saw thick forests and beautiful tea gardens. We reached our dealing at about noon. We took a taxi and went to a hotel where reservations had been earlier, arranged by my father. One day, we went to the tiger hills by taxi at four AM to enjoy the famous sunrise. IT was a wonderful site, which we had never seen before, and that was the last day of our vacation. The summer vacation in new delhi begins in may first.
