Interested in what it was promising, I applied to experiment the software on my very-much-alive parents. At first, I thought it would be just a fun project to see what was technologically possible. Then their health condition added some urgency to the experiment. I was frightened that my parents might die since my father had been diagnosed with cancer and my mother was recently developing symptoms of early Alzheimer’s disease, and that with the distance between us, I might never have the chance to say goodbye. The first step was an interview. My parents were asked questions by a techician for hours-about everything from their earliest memories to what they believe will happen after they die. Whether through illness-generated concerns or a willingness to humor their daughter, my parents put up zero resistance. The company then took their responses and started to create the voice assistants. A few months later, my virtual parents arrived via email attachment. When I communicated with them through the app on my phone, my hands were shaking. I hadn’t seen my actual, real parents for six months. They told me personal stories I’d never heard. They gave me life advice and told me things about their childhoods, as well as my own. It was mesmerizing. Personally, I have mixed feelings about my experiment. I’m glad to have my virtual parents. They’ve enabled me to learn new things about my parents, and it’s comforting to think that those softwares will be there even when my parents aren’t. On the other hand, I can’t help but find it sad that it took a stranger interviewing my parents for me to properly appreciate the complex people they are. But I feel lucky to have had the chance to grasp that-and to still have the precious opportunity to spend more time with them and learn more about them, face to face, no technology involved. 4. Why did the author initially join the AI project? A. To test out the new technology. B. To preserve her parents’ voice. C. To learn more about her parents’ life. D. To remove the worry about her parents’ health. 5. What can we learn about the author’s parents? A. They liked talking a lot. B. They died from the illnesses. C. They opposed joining the project at first. D. They provided data for the project. 6. What does the underlined word “mesmerizing" mean in paragraph 4? A. Alarming. B. Fascinating. C. Inspiring. D. Disgusting. 7. What does the author realize at last? A. AI means never saying goodbye to our parents. B. The advances in AI technology have pros and cons. C. The real connection with our parents matters most. D. AI allows us to learn more about our virtual parents. 【答案】4. A 5. D 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者参与Here After AI项目，通过AI技术与虚拟的父母进行交流的经历和感受。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“At first, I thought it would be just a fun project to see what was technologically possible.”（起初，我认为这只是一个有趣的项目，看看技术上的可能性。）可知，作者加入这个项目的主要目的是测试新技术可能是什么样子。故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“My parents were asked questions by a technician for hours—about everything from their earliest memories to what they believe will happen after they die. Whether through illness-generated concerns or a willingness to humor their daughter, my parents put up zero resistance. The company then took their responses and started to create the voice assistants.”（一位技术人员问了我父母几个问题——从他们最早的记忆到他们认为死后会发生什么。无论是出于对疾病的担忧，还是出于对女儿的迁就，我的父母都没有任何抵触。然后，该公司收集了他们的反馈，开始开发语音助手。）可知，作者的父母为项目提供了数据。故选D。 【6题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第四段 “I hadn’t seen my actual, real parents for six months. They told me personal stories I’d never heard. They gave me life advice and told me things about their childhoods, as well as my own.”（我已经有六个月没见过我真正的父母了。他们向我讲述了我从未听过的个人故事。他们给我一些人生建议，告诉我他们和我的童年。）可知，作者的父母向他讲述了以前自己从没听过的个人故事，这真是令人着迷。故划线词与B选项“Fascinating.(令人着迷的)”为同义词。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段 “Personally, I have mixed feelings about my experiment. I’m glad to have my virtual parents. They’ve enabled me to learn new things about my parents, and it’s comforting to think that those softwares will be there even when my parents aren’t. On the other hand, I can’t help but find it sad that it took a stranger interviewing my parents for me to properly appreciate the complex people they are. But I feel lucky to have had the chance to grasp that-and to still have the precious opportunity to spend more time with them and learn more about them, face to face, no technology involved.”（就我个人而言，我对我的实验有一种复杂的感觉。我很高兴有我的虚拟父母。它们让我对我的父母有了新的了解，想到即使我的父母不在，这些机器人也会在那里，这让我感到欣慰。另一方面，我不禁感到难过的是，直到一个陌生人采访了我的父母，我才真正了解到他们是一个复杂的人。但我感到很幸运，有机会抓住这一点，仍然有宝贵的机会花更多的时间和他们在一起，更多地了解他们，面对面，不涉及技术。）可知，作者感到很幸运，有机会能够抓住宝贵的机会花更多的时间和他们在一起，更多地了解他们，即意识到了与父母的真正联系是最重要的。故选C。 C We all know fresh is best when it comes to food. However, most produce at the store went through weeks of travel and covered hundreds of miles before reaching the table. While farmer’s markets are a solid choice to reduce the journey, Babylon Micro-Farm (BMF) shortens it even more. BMF is an indoor garden system. It can be set up for a family. Additionally, it could serve a larger audience such as a hospital, restaurant or school. The innovative design requires little effort to achieve a reliable weekly supply of fresh greens. Specifically, it’s a farm that relies on new technology. By connecting through the Cloud, BMF is remotely monitored. Also, there is a convenient app that provides growing data in real time. Because the system is automated, it significantly reduces the amount of water needed to grow plants. Rather than watering rows of soil, the system provides just the right amount to each plant. After harvest, users simply replace the plants with a new pre-seeded pod (容器) to get the next growth cycle started. Moreover, having a system in the same building where it’s eaten means zero emissions (排放) from transporting plants from soil to salad. In addition, there’s no need for pesticides and other chemicals that pollute traditional farms and the surrounding environment. BMF employees live out sustainability in their everyday lives. About half of them walk or bike to work. Inside the office, they encourage recycling and waste reduction by limiting garbage cans and avoiding single-use plastic. “We are passionate about reducing waste, carbon and chemicals in our environment,” said a BMF employee. 8. What can be learned about BMF from paragraph 1? A. It guarantees the variety of food. B. It requires day-to-day care. C It cuts the farm-to-table distance. D. It relies on farmer’s markets. 9. What information does the convenient app offer? A. Real-time weather changes. B. Current condition of the plants. C. Chemical pollutants in the soil. D. Availability of pre-seeded pods. 10. What can be concluded about BMF employees? A. They have a great passion for sports. B. They are devoted to community service. C. They are fond of sharing daily experiences. D. They have a strong environmental awareness. 11. What does the text mainly talk about? A. BMF’s major strengths. B. BMF’s general management. C. BMF’s global influence. D. BMF’s technical standards. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了巴比伦微农场（BMF）的一些主要优势，包括减少食物运输距离、通过云技术远程监控、自动化系统节约水资源、减少化学污染、以及员工的环保生活方式等。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“While farmer’s markets are a solid choice to reduce the journey, Babylon Micro-Farm (BMF) shortens it even more. (虽然农贸市场是减少旅程的可靠选择，但巴比伦微型农场（BMF）甚至缩短了旅程)”可知，巴比伦微型农场（BMF）进一步缩短了从农场到餐桌的距离。故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Also, there is a convenient app that provides growing data in real time. (此外，还有一个便捷的应用程序，可以实时提供增长数据)”可知，这个便捷的应用程序提供了植物生长的实时数据。故选B。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“BMF employees live out sustainability in their everyday lives. About half of them walk or bike to work. Inside the office, they encourage recycling and waste reduction by limiting garbage cans and avoiding single-use plastic. “We are passionate about reducing waste, carbon and chemicals in our environment,” said a BMF employee. (BMF员工在日常生活中追求可持续发展。大约一半的人步行或骑自行车上班。在办公室里，他们通过限制垃圾桶和避免一次性塑料来鼓励回收和减少浪费。BMF的一名员工表示：“我们热衷于减少环境中的废物、碳和化学品。”)”可知，BMF员工具有强烈的环保意识。故选D。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“While farmer’s markets are a solid choice to reduce the journey, Babylon Micro-Farm (BMF) shortens it even more. (虽然农贸市场是减少旅程的可靠选择，但巴比伦微型农场（BMF）甚至缩短了旅程)”、第三段“By connecting through the Cloud, BMF is remotely monitored. Also, there is a convenient app that provides growing data in real time. Because the system is automated, it significantly reduces the amount of water needed to grow plants. Rather than watering rows of soil, the system provides just the right amount to each plant. (通过云连接，对BMF进行远程监控。此外，还有一个方便的应用程序可以实时提供不断增长的数据。由于该系统是自动化的，因此大大减少了种植植物所需的水量。该系统不是给一排排土壤浇水，而是为每株植物提供合适的水量)”以及最后一段“BMF employees live out sustainability in their everyday lives. About half of them walk or bike to work. Inside the office, they encourage recycling and waste reduction by limiting garbage cans and avoiding single-use plastic. “We are passionate about reducing waste, carbon and chemicals in our environment,” said a BMF employee.

A new study finds that bumblebees (大黄蜂) like to play. They like to roll around small wooden balls with no apparent motivation — it likely makes them feel good. Previous evidence suggests that bees have positive and negative emotion-like states usually when they are given food rewards to test their abilities. However, in an experiment of the new study, some researchers had trained bumblebees to roll balls into a target in exchange for a sweet treat. They noticed that sometimes bumblebees would roll the balls outside of the experiment area for no reward. This observation gave rise to new questions: What are they doing? Why? Is this random or intentional? To answer these questions, the researchers set up more experiments. In the latest experiment, they watched 45 bumblebees in an enclosed area where they could walk through a clear path to reach a feeding area, or they could go off the path into areas with wooden balls. They found the bumblebees went out of their way to sit on the balls or push them. Each rolled the balls between one and 117 times during the experiment. The researchers say that because they did it repeatedly with no food payoff, it suggests that the ball rolling was rewarding. “The behavior was voluntary,” says study first-author Samadi Galpayage. “Bees have a reputation for being hard workers, but the prospect of bees engaging in something like play is really novel and exciting because it shows that bees may experience pleasure and don’t only carry out duties that are strictly essential for immediate survival.” Galpayage adds, “Personally, I find this behavior fascinating because it tells us that bumblebees, like many other animals, are more than little robotic beings, but have a richer behavior and life than we would have previously thought.” 12. What is probably humans’ typical view on bumblebees according to paragraph 1? A. They have no subjective feelings. B. They are friendly to human beings. C. They like rolling balls for pleasure. D. They are smarter than other creatures. 13. What did bumblebees do in the latest experiment of the new study? A. They rolled their food around. B. They played with the balls. C. They stayed in the feeding area. D. They shared food with each other. 14. How does Samadi Galpayage feel about bumblebees’ behavior in the new study? A. Calm. B. Regretful. C. Unconcerned. D. Amazed. 15. Which of the following can serve as the best title of the text? A. Bumblebees Are Hard Workers B. Bumblebees Roll Balls for Food C. Bumblebees Are Selfless Insects D. Bumblebees Probably Enjoy Playing 【答案】12. A 13. B 14. D 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍一项新的研究，表明大黄蜂可能很享受玩乐。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“ As humans, we might believe that we are the smartest and perhaps the only creatures in the world capable of having feelings and subjective experience, but is this really the case? A new study finds that bumblebees (大黄蜂) like to play. They like to roll around small wooden balls with no apparent motivation—it likely makes them feel good. (作为人类，我们可能相信我们是世界上最聪明的，也许是唯一能够拥有感觉和主观体验的生物，但事实真的如此吗?一项新的研究发现，大黄蜂喜欢玩耍。他们喜欢在没有明显动机的情况下滚小木球——这可能会让他们感觉很好。)”可知，人类通常可能认为大黄蜂没有主观感受。故选A项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“In the latest experiment, they watched 45 bumblebees in an enclosed area where they could walk through a clear path to reach a feeding area, or they could go off the path into areas with wooden balls. They found the bumblebees went out of their way to sit on the balls or push them. Each rolled the balls between one and 117 times during the experiment. (在最新的实验中，他们在一个封闭的区域观察了45只大黄蜂，它们可以穿过一条畅通的小路到达觅食区，也可以离开小路进入有木球的区域。他们发现大黄蜂会特意坐在球上或推球。在实验中，每只大黄蜂滚动1到117次球。)”可知，在这个新研究的最新实验中，大黄蜂在玩球。故选B项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段““The behavior was voluntary,” says study first-author Samadi Galpayage. “Bees have a reputation for being hard workers, but the prospect of bees engaging in something like play is really novel and exciting because it shows that bees may experience pleasure and don’t only carry out duties that are strictly essential for immediate survival.” (“这种行为是自愿的，”该研究的第一作者Samadi Galpayage说。“蜜蜂以努力工作而闻名，但蜜蜂参与玩耍等活动的前景确实是新颖而令人兴奋的，因为这表明蜜蜂可能会体验快乐，而不仅仅是执行对眼前生存至关重要的职责。”)”可推断，大黄蜂在新研究中的行为令Samadi Galpayage感到惊讶。故选D项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“A new study finds that bumblebees (大黄蜂) like to play. They like to roll around small wooden balls with no apparent motivation—it likely makes them feel good. (一项新的研究发现，大黄蜂喜欢玩耍。他们喜欢在没有明显动机的情况下滚小木球——这可能会让他们感觉很好。)”可知，本文主要介绍了一个新的研究发现——大黄蜂可能很享受玩乐，所以D项“Bumblebees Probably Enjoy Playing(大黄蜂可能喜欢玩耍)”是本文最好的标题。故选D项 第二节（共5小题；每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The voice within can be your inside guidance system toward development and optimism.

Her face was dull and gloomy. She was staring at the setting sun without an expression on her face. But she was not an unhappy child like this always. Six months before, Oshima was a happy child who loved playing at the beach with her brother and sister. Her brother Mittsu used to make sandcastle and Oshima and her sister Osheen collected the sea shells. Her father always shouted, “Come home, it's late”, but they would not listen. The seaside was like their second home. At house also, they were a happy family who always laughed and played and had no problems to bother for. One day all of a sudden something terrible happened. A violent tsunami came and took the entire country in its grip. It was a huge natural disaster. Most of the houses were washed away. The cities and towns were flooded with water. Oshima’s town was near the sea and so the tsunami flooded her town as well. Her house was washed and they lost all their belongings. Her grandmother Midori cried and cried and was totally shocked. She has not seen such destruction in her whole life. They were homeless. Oshima wept and wept and complained that why a violent tsunami hit her city. She was very angry. The government shifted them to a refugee (难民) camp where many families shared the living space. Helicopters dropped food packets and they had to stand in long queues even for drinking water. Their life had turned upside down. Oshima could see the sadness visible in her parents' eyes. Now she did not like the sea at all and always felt that the sea had broken her trust and was very disappointed with the waves. For her the sea was very cruel who had taken her beautiful house away. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 One day Oshima saw two little children playing in the camp without any trace of sadness on their face. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A new ray of hope filled her spirits, making her cheer up. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 One day Oshima saw two little children playing in the camp without any trace of sadness on their face. Oshima started playing with them and while talking the kids told her that they had lost their entire family in the disaster. The kids said, “We used to cry a lot but now we have stopped complaining and try to be happy for whatever we are left with.” Oshima was shocked. She became silent. She had her family by her side, which was indeed the most important thing for her. A new ray of hope filled her spirits, making her cheer up. She wholeheartedly thanked God for keeping them safe. Oshima had learned a new meaning of satisfaction and the small children taught her a very big lesson in a child's play. The setting sun was so beautiful, throwing the shiny rays on the magnificent sea. Oshima was viewing the sea with a changed perspective. From that moment on, she was no more a teary eyed but a grateful soul. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Oshima的家被海啸摧毁了，他们的生活发生了翻天覆地的变化。某天她在营地遇到了两个坚强的孩子，学到了满足的新含义。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“一天，大岛看见两个小孩在营地里玩耍，脸上没有一丝悲伤的表情”可知，第一段可描写Oshima与孩子们的对话内容。 ②由第二段首句内容“一丝新的希望充满了她的精神，使她高兴起来”可知，第二段可描写Oshima得到的关于满足感悟。 2.续写线索：看见小孩子——交谈——珍惜拥有的——Oshima感悟——Oshima学会满足 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①开始：start/begin ②抱怨：complain/ whine ③观察：view/observe 情绪类 ①快乐：happy/glad ②感谢：thank/show gratitude to 【点睛】[高分句型1] Oshima started playing with them and while talking the kids told her that they had lost their entire family in the disaster.(运用了that引导宾语从句) [高分句型2] She had her family by her side, which was indeed the most important thing for her.

B At the end of 2019,I learned that Here After AI, whose goal is to let the living communicate with the dead, was looking for applicants of its new AI project. Interested in what it was promising, I applied to experiment the software on my very-much-alive parents. At first, I thought it would be just a fun project to see what was technologically possible. Then their health condition added some urgency to the experiment. I was frightened that my parents might die since my father had been diagnosed with cancer and my mother was recently developing symptoms of early Alzheimer’s disease, and that with the distance between us, I might never have the chance to say goodbye. The first step was an interview. My parents were asked questions by a techician for hours-about everything from their earliest memories to what they believe will happen after they die. Whether through illness-generated concerns or a willingness to humor their daughter, my parents put up zero resistance. The company then took their responses and started to create the voice assistants. A few months later, my virtual parents arrived via email attachment. When I communicated with them through the app on my phone my hands were shaking. I hadn’t seen my actual, real parents for six months. They told me personal stories I’d never heard. They gave me life advice and told me things about their childhoods, as well as my own. It was mesmerizing. Personally, I have mixed feelings about my experiment. I’m glad to have my virtual parents. They’ve enabled me to learn new things about my parents, and it’s comforting to think that those softwares will be there even when my parents aren’t. On the other hand, I can’t help but find it sad that it took a stranger interviewing my parents for me to properly appreciate the complex people they are. But I feel lucky to have had the chance to grasp that-and to still have the precious opportunity to spend more time with them and learn more about them, face to face, no technology involved. 4. Why did the author initially join the AI project? A. To test out the new technology. B. To preserve her parents’ voice. C. To learn more about her parents’ life. D. To remove the worry about her parents’ health. 5. What can we learn about the author’s parents? A. They liked talking a lot. B. They died from the illnesses. C. They opposed joining the project at first. D. They provided data for the project. 6. What does the underlined word “mesmerizing" mean in paragraph 4? A. Alarming. B. Fascinating. C. Inspiring. D. Disgusting. 7. What does the author realize at last? A. AI means never saying goodbye to our parents. B. The advances in AI technology have pros and cons. C. The real connection with our parents matters most. D. AI allows us to learn more about our virtual parents. C We all know fresh is best when it comes to food. However, most produce at the store went through weeks of travel and covered hundreds of miles before reaching the table. While farmer’s markets are a solid choice to reduce the journey, Babylon Micro-Farm (BMF) shortens it even more. BMF is an indoor garden system. It can be set up for a family. Additionally, it could serve a larger audience such as a hospital, restaurant or school. The innovative design requires little effort to achieve a reliable weekly supply of fresh greens. Specifically, it’s a farm that relies on new technology. By connecting through the Cloud, BMF is remotely monitored. Also, there is a convenient app that provides growing data in real time. Because the system is automated, it significantly reduces the amount of water needed to grow plants. Rather than watering rows of soil, the system provides just the right amount to each plant. After harvest, users simply replace the plants with a new pre-seeded pod (容器) to get the next growth cycle started. Moreover, having a system in the same building where it’s eaten means zero emissions (排放) from transporting plants from soil to salad. In addition, there’s no need for pesticides and other chemicals that pollute traditional farms and the surrounding environment. BMF employees live out sustainability in their everyday lives. About half of them walk or bike to work. Inside the office, they encourage recycling and waste reduction by limiting garbage cans and avoiding single-use plastic. “We are passionate about reducing waste, carbon and chemicals in our environment,” said a BMF employee. 8. What can be learned about BMF from paragraph 1? A. It guarantees the variety of food. B. It requires day-to-day care. C. It cuts the farm-to-table distance. D. It relies on farmer’s markets. 9. What information does the convenient app offer? A. Real-time weather changes. B. Current condition of the plants. C. Chemical pollutants in the soil. D. Availability of pre-seeded pods. 10. What can be concluded about BMF employees? A. They have a great passion for sports. B. They are devoted to community service. C. They are fond of sharing daily experiences. D. They have a strong environmental awareness. 11. What does the text mainly talk about? A. BMF’s major strengths. B. BMF’s general management. C. BMF’s global influence. D. BMF’s technical standards. D As humans, we might believe that we are the smartest and perhaps the only creatures in the world capable of having feelings and subjective experience, but is this really the case? A new study finds that bumblebees (大黄蜂) like to play. They like to roll around small wooden balls with no apparent motivation — it likely makes them feel good. Previous evidence suggests that bees have positive and negative emotion-like states usually when they are given food rewards to test their abilities. However, in an experiment of the new study, some researchers had trained bumblebees to roll balls into a target in exchange for a sweet treat. They noticed that sometimes bumblebees would roll the balls outside of the experiment area for no reward. This observation gave rise to new questions: What are they doing? Why? Is this random or intentional? To answer these questions, the researchers set up more experiments. In the latest experiment, they watched 45 bumblebees in an enclosed area where they could walk through a clear path to reach a feeding area, or they could go off the path into areas with wooden balls. They found the bumblebees went out of their way to sit on the balls or push them. Each rolled the balls between one and 117 times during the experiment. The researchers say that because they did it repeatedly with no food payoff, it suggests that the ball rolling was rewarding. “The behavior was voluntary,” says study first-author Samadi Galpayage. “Bees have a reputation for being hard workers, but the prospect of bees engaging in something like play is really novel and exciting because it shows that bees may experience pleasure and don’t only carry out duties that are strictly essential for immediate survival.” Galpayage adds, “Personally, I find this behavior fascinating because it tells us that bumblebees, like many other animals, are more than little robotic beings, but have a richer behavior and life than we would have previously thought.” 12. What is probably humans’ typical view on bumblebees according to paragraph 1? A. They have no subjective feelings. B. They are friendly to human beings. C. They like rolling balls for pleasure. D. They are smarter than other creatures. 13. What did bumblebees do in the latest experiment of the new study? A. They rolled their food around. B. They played with the balls. C They stayed in the feeding area. D. They shared food with each other. 14. How does Samadi Galpayage feel about bumblebees’ behavior in the new study? A. Calm. B. Regretful. C. Unconcerned. D. Amazed. 15. Which of the following can serve as the best title of the text? A. Bumblebees Are Hard Workers B. Bumblebees Roll Balls for Food C. Bumblebees Are Selfless Insects D. Bumblebees Probably Enjoy Playing 第二节（共5小题；每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The voice within can be your inside guidance system toward development and optimism.
