Here is a look back at some notable AI developments in 2022. Meta’s speech-to-speech translation Facebook’s parent Meta said it had built a technology tool to directly translate between English and the Hokkien language, a spoken language without a widely used written form. Meta said it trained its AI models on written text examples from Mandarin Chinese. In addition developers used an encoding tool designed to compare spoken Hokkien to similar English text. Method to identify Parkinson’s disease Researchers announced a new AI method to identify Parkinson’s disease. The system works by measuring a person’s breathing patterns during sleep. With just one night of sleep, the AI system was able to correctly identify Parkinson’s up to 86 percent of the time. With 12 nights of data, the rate went up to 95 percent. Tool to interpret pig emotions Researchers announced they had created a technology tool that uses pig sounds to interpret different emotions. The tool is based on thousands of recordings collected from more than 400 pigs throughout their lives. The scientists developed an AI-driven approach to identify a series of emotions pigs could be experiencing. It is expected to lead to further systems farmers can use to improve the productivity and well-being of their animals. Tool to fill in missing words in ancient writings Researchers—led by Alphabet’s AI company Deep Mind—said they developed an AI system to help fill in missing words in ancient writings. The tool, called Ithaca, is designed to help historians repair the writings and identify when and where they were written. The team said that when historians work on their own, the success rate for repairing damaged writings is about 25 percent. But when humans teamed up with Ithaca to assist in their work, the success rate jumped to 72 percent. 1. Which can be used for cross-cultural communication? A. Tool to interpret pig emotions. B. Meta’s speech-to-speech translation. C. Method to identify Parkinson’s disease D. Tool to fill in missing words in ancient writings. 2. Who will most probably be interested in Ithaca? A. A sculptor. B. A biologist. C. A chemist. D. An archaeologist. 3. What do the inventions have in common? A. They focus on health issues. B. They are developed by Facebook. C. They aim to promote productivity. D. They are AI-driven technology tools. B The snow was falling. The schools were over earlier than usual, but much to my surprise my appointment wasn’t canceled. And so I went, feeling especially heroic. Snow or no snow, I’d be on time for my scheduled donation at the local blood center. When I got there, I discovered four more “hero-types” were already there, with machines quietly collecting their lifesaving gifts. Seeing them made me believe that while I was proud to be there, I wasn’t a hero. And any silly heroic thoughts quickly disappeared as I lay back in my own donor chair and began my donation. I was ready to make a difference in the life of someone I’ d never meet. My wife Karen is a donor, too. She’s been on the bone marrow (骨髓) list for fifteen years, ever since she signed up to provide bone marrow to a child. That little girl died before Karen’s bone marrow could help her, but Karen was called again recently as it turned out she might be a match for someone else. The caller asked Karen if she’d still be willing to become a bone marrow donor. “Yes,” she said and then immediately began answering questions in preparation for the pages of paperwork to follow. It was a race against time. I wish I could say this race was won, but again it wasn’t. Last week Karen gave blood and next week I’ll make my usual donation. I’ll clear an afternoon from my schedule and call for an appointment. Whatever blood product they need whole, I’ll gladly give. I don’t know whose life my donation may affect, but it really doesn’t matter. And sadly, while so few among us actually take the time to donate, Karen and I always will. 4. What can be inferred about the author from the first paragraph? A. He is quite fond of taking risks. B. He is a man who always keeps his word. C. The snow almost ruined his appointment. D. He never thinks donating blood is a heroic deed. 5. What influence did other donors have on the author? A. They changed his attitude to himself. B. They helped him find joy in donating. C. They made him feel it a duty to donate. D. They strengthened his belief not to be a donor. 6. What does the passage say about Karen and her bone marrow donation? A. She has been found a match to nobody. B. She decided to join in it over 20 years ago. C. She fell in trouble when she came to paperwork. D. She has already met with two failures in donation. 7. Which of the following shows the author’s opinion? A. More people should have become donors. B. The donation itself should have been made easier. C. Receivers should have been introduced to donors. D. More blood products should have been developed. C For the first time, scientists have measured what actually happens with face-to-face interactions when employees start to work at an open-plan office, and their results show these modern workspaces are not as cooperative as you’d think. Two researchers from Harvard Business School and Harvard University wanted to test whether removing walls at a real-world workplace really increases interactions between co-workers. “To our knowledge, no prior study has directly measured the effect on actual interaction that results from removing walls to create an open office environment,” Ethan S. Bernstein and Stephen Turban write in the paper. To that end, they approached two multinational companies that were re-organizing their office spaces at the global headquarters, and enlisted small groups of employees for two studies. For eight weeks before the office redesign and eight weeks afterward, the researchers tracked employees’ social interactions and locations. This data was analyzed together with email and instant messaging information from the company’s servers to measure differences in how people were communicating with each other. What they found was a pretty astonishing difference in face-to-face interactions — but not in the direction you might think. Across both experiments, employees’ social interactions in person decreased by a crazy 70 percent, while emails saw an uptick by roughly 20 to 50 percent. So, instead of spending more time cooperating with co-workers in the new space where everyone could see them, people got their heads down and tried to preserve their privacy any way they could. According to these results, it appears that being forced into a more open-plan environment can make people switch from chatting to others in person to sending an email or using instant messaging instead. As the team notes, it’s not automatically a bad thing, but it can certainly change work dynamics in an unexpected way. “That can have important consequences for how — and how productively — work gets done,” the researchers conclude. 8. How did the two multinational companies redesign their offices? A. By expanding the total floor areas. B. By updating the computer servers. C. By changing the employees’ locations. D. By tearing down the space boundaries. 9. Why did the employees prefer email or instant messaging in an open office space? A. To reduce the risk of privacy leaks. B. To establish efficient communication. C. To facilitate indirect social interaction. D. To transform traditional work patterns. 10. What can be inferred from the researchers’ saying in the last paragraph? A. Further relevant research needs conducting. B. Their research findings are of practical value. C. Their team intends to change working environment. D. People hold different opinions on how work gets done. 11. What is the main idea of the text? A. Real-world workplaces increase employees’ interaction. B. Work dynamics don’t have much effect on work efficiency. C. Modern workspaces change workers’ way of communication. D. Open-plan offices can’t promote cooperation between co-workers. D If you mention “voice technology”, most people think of Siri, Alexa or Cortana. While personal artificial intelligence (AI) assistants are becoming increasingly popular in our everyday lives, they are just one use of voice tech, and are primarily designed for adults. Irish tech company SoapBox Labs wants that to change. The company has developed speech recognition technology designed specifically for children, and it’s already in use across a range of applications, from toys to education apps. Children’s voices differ from that of adults. “Typically, they have a higher pitch (音高), and may use different language or speech patterns, which regular voice technology cannot always pick up on.” explains Patricia Scanlon, the founder of SoapBox. “It’s understandable that an industry that has spent decades working on technology and only focusing on adults runs into a fairly significant problem when they try to apply it to children.” Rather than making slight changes to the available voice technology already on the market, SoapBox builds its voice engine from scratch-focusing on children aged 2 to 12. The company says it created a data set to train its AI system, made up of thousands of hours of children’s speech collected in real-world noisy environments-kitchens, classrooms and cars-from kids of all ages, accents and dialects (方言), from a total of 192 countries. This opens up a whole new market, for which there's growing demand. More than 8 billion digital voice assistants are expected to be in use, and there is an increased focus on adapting the tech for children. SoapBox, which is selling a technology rather than a product, has attracted more than 50 clients from around the world. The technology can help a child learn to read or learn a language. It acts as a helpful adult, reacting immediately to the child and giving them one-on-one time, and it can also help to record a child’s progress and provide recommendations to a teacher or parent. 12. What makes SoapBox different from Siri? A. Its use of voice tech. B. Its creative use of AI. C. It is designed for children. D. It is used on many applications. 13. What can we infer according to Scanlon in paragraph 3? A. A lot of effort has gone into developing SoapBox. B. Voice technology has much room for development. C. There has been great demand for a system like SoapBox. D. SoapBox understands adults’ voice better than that of children. 14. What did SoapBox use to build its voice engine? A. Recordings of 192 dialects. B. Data from a previous system. C. Speech from people of all ages. D. Newly-collected speech of children. 15. What does the underlined word “recommendations” in the last paragraph mean? A. Registrations. B. Suggestions. C. Declarations. D. Confirmations. 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。 Listening is one of the four primary forms of communication, along with reading, writing, and speaking. ___16___. There’s a higher form of listening, fortunately, which leads to real communication. We call it “genuine listening”. And it’s the kind of practice we want to put to use. But to do genuine listening, you need to do three things differently. ___17___. It is reported that only 7 percent of communication is contained in the words we use. The rest comes from body language (53 percent) and how we say words, or the tone and feeling reflected in our voice (40 percent) . To hear what other people are really saying, you also need to listen to what they’re not saying. ___18___, everyone is tender inside and has a desperate need to be understood. Stand in their shoes. To become a genuine listener, you need to take off your shoes and stand in another’s. In the words of Robert Byrne, “Until you walk a mile in another man’s shoes you can’t imagine the smell”. ___19___ Practice mirroring. Think like a mirror. What does a mirror do? It doesn’t judge. It doesn’t give advice. It reflects. Mirroring is simply this: Repeat back in your own words what the other person is saying and feeling. Mirroring isn’t mimicking (模仿) . Mimicking is when you repeat exactly what the other person says, like a parrot. If you practice mirroring but don’t really desire to understand others, they will see through it. If your attitude is right but you don’t have the skill, you’ll be okay. ___20___. If you have both the attitude and the skill, you’ll become a powerful communicator! A. Listen with your eyes, heart, and ears B. Choose some interesting topics C You must try to see the world as they see it and feel as they feel D. It’s a bad habit to pretend to listen to other people E. However, many people don’t know how to listen F. But it doesn’t work the other way around G. No matter how hard people may appear on the surface. 第Ⅱ卷 第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项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。 I, Amy, am always proud of my frankness and honesty.

I knew her passion, but in my eyes, she was still ___23___ her artistic skills. As the day of exhibition drew near, Lucy, obviously ___24___ asked me, “Amy…what do you truly…think of my painting?” I looked into her ___25___ eyes, ___26___ between honesty and not upsetting my friend, managed a smile and said, “Lucy, this is definitely your ___27___ work yet. The color combinations are the most creative!” During the following days, I was uneasy, but I ___28___ myself with the idea that it was a “white lie”, with the ___29___ to protect and encourage her. Unexpectedly, I also saw a great ____30____ . Lucy indeed threw herself into her craft! Her paintings progressed obviously and her skills ____31____ like a tree branching out. I realized that my little white lie had unlocked ____32____ within her. Lucy’s artwork ____33____ shone like a star at the exhibition. Lucy put her arms around me.

Suddenly my heart was raising and fear rose within me. I was nervous as I started to feel sick, really sick. I ran to the bathroom and washed my face with cold water to calm myself down, looking into the mirror and whispering “Come on, you can do this.” Some were looking forward to this moment for ages; but not me. I felt frightened every time I imagine how uncomfortable it would be on a stage, and being the center of attention. If it was a speech, I could manage, but repeating a scene from a movie that has already been done by professional actors is really hard because we get compared to them. But there was no choice. As I made it to the hall, my head went blank. Suddenly I felt nervous as I couldn't remember all the lines (台词) . Once I was there in the hall, my brain stopped working because of all the noise and the atmosphere in the air. As soon as the judges entered, the crowd quieted down and the performances began. I was really nervous until the first performer was called. But the more I waited, the more tired I got of waiting. At this moment, I was eager to my turn to give the performance, instead of suffering from the long time waiting. When the teacher called me to walk onto the stage, my heart beat raced again. I had a good look around, and there were only 30-40 people. Then I felt really stupid for being scared of having an audience. 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。 Paragraph 1: I introduced myself and started to perform what I had been eager for long before. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: After I was done, I looked at the audience, thinking how much I loved doing this. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力 1—5 ABBCB 6—10 ACCAA 11—15 CBBAC 16—20 CACBB 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 高一英语试卷 本试卷分第Ⅰ卷（选择题）和第Ⅱ卷（非选择题）两部分。 全卷共150分，考试时间120分钟。考生作答时将答案答在答题卡上，在本试卷上答题无效。 注意事项： 1. 答题前，考生先将自己的姓名、准考证号码填写清楚，将条形码准确粘贴在条形码区域内； 2. 选择题必须使用2B铅笔填涂；非选择题必须使用0. 5毫米黑色字迹的签字笔书写，字体工整、笔迹清楚； 3. 请按照题号顺序在各题目的答题区域内作答，超出答题区域书写的答案无效；在草稿纸、试题卷上答题无效； 4. 作图题可先使用2B铅笔填涂，然后用黑色字迹的签字笔描黑； 5. 保持卡面清洁，不要折叠、不要弄破、弄皱，不准使用涂改液、修正带、刮纸刀。 第Ⅰ卷 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1. 5分，满分7. 5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。主要回顾了2022年几个著名的人工智能研究成果。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据小标题Meta’s speech-to-speech translation下的“Facebook’s parent Meta said it had built a technology tool to directly translate between English and the Hokkien language, a spoken language without a widely used written form. (Facebook 的母公司 Meta 表示，它已经开发了一种技术工具，可以直接在英语和闽南语之间进行翻译，闽南语是一种没有广泛使用的书面形式的口语。)”可知，Meta的语言和语言之间的翻译能用于跨文化交流，故选B项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“The tool, called Ithaca, is designed to help historians repair the writings and identify when and where they were written. (这个工具被称为伊萨卡，旨在帮助历史学家修复这些著作，并确定它们写成的时间和地点。)”可知，历史学家最有可能对Ithaca感兴趣，故选D项。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据Meta’s speech-to-speech translation部分的“Meta said it trained its AI models (Meta表示，它训练了自己的人工智能模型)”、Method to identify Parkinson’s disease部分的“Researchers announced a new Al method to identify Parkinson’s disease.

The schools were over earlier than usual, but much to my surprise my appointment wasn’t canceled. And so I went, feeling especially heroic. Snow or no snow, I’d be on time for my scheduled donation at the local blood center. When I got there, I discovered four more “hero-types” were already there, with machines quietly collecting their lifesaving gifts. Seeing them made me believe that while I was proud to be there, I wasn’t a hero. And any silly heroic thoughts quickly disappeared as I lay back in my own donor chair and began my donation. I was ready to make a difference in the life of someone I’ d never meet. My wife Karen is a donor, too. She’s been on the bone marrow (骨髓) list for fifteen years, ever since she signed up to provide bone marrow to a child. That little girl died before Karen’s bone marrow could help her, but Karen was called again recently as it turned out she might be a match for someone else. The caller asked Karen if she’d still be willing to become a bone marrow donor. “Yes,” she said and then immediately began answering questions in preparation for the pages of paperwork to follow. It was a race against time. I wish I could say this race was won, but again it wasn’t. Last week Karen gave blood and next week I’ll make my usual donation. I’ll clear an afternoon from my schedule and call for an appointment. Whatever blood product they need whole, I’ll gladly give. I don’t know whose life my donation may affect, but it really doesn’t matter. And sadly, while so few among us actually take the time to donate, Karen and I always will. 4. What can be inferred about the author from the first paragraph? A. He is quite fond of taking risks. B He is a man who always keeps his word. C. The snow almost ruined his appointment. D. He never thinks donating blood is a heroic deed. 5. What influence did other donors have on the author? A. They changed his attitude to himself. B. They helped him find joy in donating. C. They made him feel it a duty to donate. D. They strengthened his belief not to be a donor. 6. What does the passage say about Karen and her bone marrow donation? A. She has been found a match to nobody. B. She decided to join in it over 20 years ago. C. She fell in trouble when she came to paperwork. D. She has already met with two failures in donation. 7. Which of the following shows the author’s opinion? A. More people should have become donors. B. The donation itself should have been made easier. C. Receivers should have been introduced to donors. D. More blood products should have been developed. 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. D 7. A 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇记叙文。作者和妻子Karen经常在当地的血液中心参加献血或骨髓捐献活动，在这项活动中作者感悟到献出的每一份小小爱心都可能会有大的影响，希望更多的人称为捐献者。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中Snow or no snow, I’d be on time for my scheduled donation at the local blood center.（不管下不下雪，我都会准时在当地血液中心进行预定的献血）从第一段可以推断出作者是个说话算数的人。故选B。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中Seeing them made me believe that while I was proud to be there, I wasn’t a hero.（看到他们使我相信，虽然我很自豪能在那里，但我不是一个英雄）可知其他捐助者让作者改变了对自己的态度。故选A。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中That little girl died before Karen’s bone marrow could help her, but Karen was called again recently as it turned out she might be a match for someone else.（那个小女孩还没等凯伦的骨髓帮上忙就死了，但最近凯伦又接到了电话，因为她可能是别人的另一半）以及最后一句It was a race against time. I wish I could say this race was won, but again it wasn’t.（我希望我可以说这场比赛赢了，但它又一次输了）可知Karen的骨髓捐赠已经遭遇了两次失败。故选D。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中And sadly, while so few among us actually take the time to donate, Karen and I always will.（遗憾的是，虽然我们中很少有人真正花时间去捐赠，但Karen和我总是会这样做）可推知作者认为应该有更多的人成为捐赠者。故选A。 C For the first time, scientists have measured what actually happens with face-to-face interactions when employees start to work at an open-plan office, and their results show these modern workspaces are not as cooperative as you’d think. Two researchers from Harvard Business School and Harvard University wanted to test whether removing walls at a real-world workplace really increases interactions between co-workers. “To our knowledge, no prior study has directly measured the effect on actual interaction that results from removing walls to create an open office environment,” Ethan S. Bernstein and Stephen Turban write in the paper. To that end, they approached two multinational companies that were re-organizing their office spaces at the global headquarters, and enlisted small groups of employees for two studies. For eight weeks before the office redesign and eight weeks afterward, the researchers tracked employees’ social interactions and locations. This data was analyzed together with email and instant messaging information from the company’s servers to measure differences in how people were communicating with each other. What they found was a pretty astonishing difference in face-to-face interactions — but not in the direction you might think. Across both experiments, employees’ social interactions in person decreased by a crazy 70 percent, while emails saw an uptick by roughly 20 to 50 percent. So, instead of spending more time cooperating with co-workers in the new space where everyone could see them, people got their heads down and tried to preserve their privacy any way they could. According to these results, it appears that being forced into a more open-plan environment can make people switch from chatting to others in person to sending an email or using instant messaging instead. As the team notes, it’s not automatically a bad thing, but it can certainly change work dynamics in an unexpected way. “That can have important consequences for how — and how productively — work gets done,” the researchers conclude. 8. How did the two multinational companies redesign their offices? A. By expanding the total floor areas. B. By updating the computer servers. C. By changing the employees’ locations. D. By tearing down the space boundaries. 9. Why did the employees prefer email or instant messaging in an open office space? A. To reduce the risk of privacy leaks. B. To establish efficient communication. C. To facilitate indirect social interaction. D. To transform traditional work patterns. 10. What can be inferred from the researchers’ saying in the last paragraph? A. Further relevant research needs conducting. B. Their research findings are of practical value. C. Their team intends to change working environment. D. People hold different opinions on how work gets done. 11. What is the main idea of the text? A. Real-world workplaces increase employees’ interaction. B. Work dynamics don’t have much effect on work efficiency. C. Modern workspaces change workers’ way of communication. D. Open-plan offices can’t promote cooperation between co-workers. 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了一项研究表明，在开放式办公室工作时，员工并不像你想象的那样合作，反而为了保护隐私，他们互动减少，更多使用电子邮件交流。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。由第二段“Two researchers from Harvard Business School and Harvard University wanted to test whether removing walls at a real-world workplace really increases interactions between co-workers. “To our knowledge, no prior study has directly measured the effect on actual interaction that results from removing walls to create an open office environment,” Ethan S. Bernstein and Stephen Turban write in the paper. To that end, they approached two multinational companies that were re-organizing their office spaces at the global headquarters, and enlisted small groups of employees for two studies. (哈佛商学院和哈佛大学的两名研究人员想测试在现实世界的工作场所拆除墙壁是否真的会增加同事之间的互动。Ethan S. Bernstein和Stephen Turban在论文中写道：“据我们所知，之前没有任何研究直接衡量拆除墙壁以创造开放的办公环境对实际互动的影响。”为此，他们联系了两家正在全球总部重新组织办公场所的跨国公司，并招募了一小群员工进行两项研究)”可知，为了做研究，研究人员联系这两家跨国公司，让这两家跨国公司通过打破空间边界（即拆除墙壁）来重新设计办公室。故选D项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。由倒数第二段中的“So, instead of spending more time cooperating with co-workers in the new space where everyone could see them, people got their heads down and tried to preserve their privacy any way they could. According to these results, it appears that being forced into a more open-plan environment can make people switch from chatting to others in person to sending an email or using instant messaging instead. (因此，人们没有花更多的时间在每个人都能看到的新空间里与同事合作，而是低下头，尽可能保护自己的隐私。根据这些结果，似乎被迫进入一个更开放的环境会让人们从亲自与他人聊天转向发送电子邮件或使用即时消息)”可知，员工更喜欢在开放式办公场所发电子邮件或即时消息，是因为他们想降低隐私泄露的风险。故选A项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。由最后一段中的““That can have important consequences for how — and how productively — work gets done,” the researchers conclude. (研究人员总结道：“这可能会对工作的完成方式和效率产生重要影响。”)”可知，研究人员认为他们的研究结果具有实用价值。故选B项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。由第一段“For the first time, scientists have measured what actually happens with face-to-face interactions when employees start to work at an open-plan office, and their results show these modern workspaces are not as cooperative as you’d think. (科学家们首次测量了当员工开始在开放式办公室工作时，面对面的互动会发生什么，他们的研究结果表明，这些现代工作场所并不像你想象的那样合作)”，第四段中的“Across both experiments, employees’ social interactions in person decreased by a crazy 70 percent, while emails saw an uptick by roughly 20 to 50 percent. (在这两项实验中，员工面对面的社交互动减少了70%，而电子邮件则增加了约20%至50%)”和全文可知，文章讲述了一项研究表明，在开放式办公室工作时，员工并不像你想象的那样合作，反而为了保护隐私，他们互动减少，更多使用电子邮件交流，D项“开放式办公室不能促进同事之间的合作”符合文意。故选D项。 D If you mention “voice technology”, most people think of Siri, Alexa or Cortana. While personal artificial intelligence (AI) assistants are becoming increasingly popular in our everyday lives, they are just one use of voice tech, and are primarily designed for adults. Irish tech company SoapBox Labs wants that to change. The company has developed speech recognition technology designed specifically for children, and it’s already in use across a range of applications, from toys to education apps. Children’s voices differ from that of adults. “Typically, they have a higher pitch (音高), and may use different language or speech patterns, which regular voice technology cannot always pick up on.” explains Patricia Scanlon, the founder of SoapBox. “It’s understandable that an industry that has spent decades working on technology and only focusing on adults runs into a fairly significant problem when they try to apply it to children.” Rather than making slight changes to the available voice technology already on the market, SoapBox builds its voice engine from scratch-focusing on children aged 2 to 12. The company says it created a data set to train its AI system, made up of thousands of hours of children’s speech collected in real-world noisy environments-kitchens, classrooms and cars-from kids of all ages, accents and dialects (方言), from a total of 192 countries. This opens up a whole new market, for which there's growing demand. More than 8 billion digital voice assistants are expected to be in use, and there is an increased focus on adapting the tech for children. SoapBox, which is selling a technology rather than a product, has attracted more than 50 clients from around the world. The technology can help a child learn to read or learn a language. It acts as a helpful adult, reacting immediately to the child and giving them one-on-one time, and it can also help to record a child’s progress and provide recommendations to a teacher or parent. 12. What makes SoapBox different from Siri? A. Its use of voice tech. B. Its creative use of AI. C. It is designed for children. D. It is used on many applications. 13. What can we infer according to Scanlon in paragraph 3? A. A lot of effort has gone into developing SoapBox. B. Voice technology has much room for development. C. There has been great demand for a system like SoapBox. D. SoapBox understands adults’ voice better than that of children. 14. What did SoapBox use to build its voice engine? A. Recordings of 192 dialects. B. Data from a previous system. C. Speech from people of all ages. D. Newly-collected speech of children. 15. What does the underlined word “recommendations” in the last paragraph mean? A. Registrations. B. Suggestions. C. Declarations. D. Confirmations. 【答案】12. C 13. A 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了爱尔兰科技公司SoapBox Labs开发的一款专门为儿童设计的语音识别技术。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“If you mention “voice technology”, most people think of Siri, Alexa or Cortana. While personal artificial intelligence (AI) assistants are becoming increasingly popular in our everyday lives, they are just one use of voice tech, and are primarily designed for adults.(如果你提到“语音技术”，大多数人会想到Siri、Alexa或Cortana。虽然个人人工智能(AI)助手在我们的日常生活中越来越受欢迎，但它们只是语音技术的一种用途，而且主要是为成年人设计的。)”和文章第二段“Irish tech company SoapBox Labs wants that to change. The company has developed speech recognition technology designed specifically for children...(爱尔兰科技公司SoapBox Labs希望改变这种状况。该公司开发了专门为儿童设计的语音识别技术……)”可知，SoapBox与Siri的不同之处是SoapBox是专门为儿童设计的。故选C。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段““Typically, they have a higher pitch (音高), and may use different language or speech patterns, which regular voice technology cannot always pick up on.” explains Patricia Scanlon, the founder of SoapBox. “It’s understandable that an industry that has spent decades working on technology and only focusing on adults runs into a fairly significant problem when they try to apply it to children.”(“通常情况下，他们的音调更高，可能会使用不同的语言或语音模式，而常规语音技术并不总是能识别出来。”SoapBox的创始人Patricia Scanlon解释道。“这是可以理解的，一个行业花了几十年的时间研究技术，只关注成年人，当他们试图把它应用到儿童身上时，遇到了一个相当严重的问题。”)”可推知，SoapBox Labs在开发SoapBox方面付出了大量的努力。故选A。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Rather than making slight changes to the available voice technology already on the market, SoapBox builds its voice engine from scratch-focusing on children aged 2 to 12. The company says it created a data set to train its AI system, made up of thousands of hours of children’s speech collected in real-world noisy environments-kitchens, classrooms and cars-from kids of all ages, accents and dialects (方言)，from a total of 192 countries.(SoapBox并没有对市场上已有的可用语音技术进行细微的修改，而是从头开始构建自己的语音引擎——专注于2至12岁的儿童。该公司表示，它创建了一个数据集来训练其人工智能系统，该数据集由数千小时的儿童语音组成，这些语音来自现实世界嘈杂的环境——厨房、教室和汽车——来自192个国家的所有年龄段的孩子、口音和方言。)”可知，SoapBox使用新收集的儿童的语音为素材创建了语音引擎。故选D。 【15题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“The technology can help a child learn to read or learn a language. It acts as a helpful adult, reacting immediately to the child and giving them one-on-one time, and it can also help to record a child’s progress(这项技术可以帮助孩子学习阅读或学习一门语言。它就像一个乐于助人的成年人，对孩子立即做出反应，给他们一对一的时间，它也可以帮助记录孩子的进步)”可知，SoapBox可以帮助孩子学习语言，帮助记录孩子的学习成果，这些都有利于孩子的学习，再根据划线词后的teacher or parent并结合选项可知，此处指SoapBox还能给老师或家长提供建议，recommendations意为“建议”。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。 Listening is one of the four primary forms of communication, along with reading, writing, and speaking. ___16___. There’s a higher form of listening, fortunately, which leads to real communication. We call it “genuine listening”. And it’s the kind of practice we want to put to use. But to do genuine listening, you need to do three things differently. ___17___. It is reported that only 7 percent of communication is contained in the words we use. The rest comes from body language (53 percent) and how we say words, or the tone and feeling reflected in our voice (40 percent) . To hear what other people are really saying, you also need to listen to what they’re not saying. ___18___, everyone is tender inside and has a desperate need to be understood. Stand in their shoes. To become a genuine listener, you need to take off your shoes and stand in another’s. In the words of Robert Byrne, “Until you walk a mile in another man’s shoes you can’t imagine the smell”. ___19___ Practice mirroring. Think like a mirror. What does a mirror do? It doesn’t judge. It doesn’t give advice. It reflects. Mirroring is simply this: Repeat back in your own words what the other person is saying and feeling. Mirroring isn’t mimicking (模仿) . Mimicking is when you repeat exactly what the other person says, like a parrot. If you practice mirroring but don’t really desire to understand others, they will see through it. If your attitude is right but you don’t have the skill, you’ll be okay. ___20___. If you have both the attitude and the skill, you’ll become a powerful communicator! A. Listen with your eyes, heart, and ears B. Choose some interesting topics C. You must try to see the world as they see it and feel as they feel D. It’s a bad habit to pretend to listen to other people E. However, many people don’t know how to listen F. But it doesn’t work the other way around G. No matter how hard people may appear on the surface. 【答案】16. E 17. A 18. G 19. C 20. F 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了如何倾听，倾听需要注意的事项。 【16题详解】 根据下文“There’s a higher form of listening, fortunately, which leads to real communication.

The rest comes from body language (53 percent) and how we say words, or the tone and feeling reflected in our voice (40 percent). To hear what other people are really saying, you also need to listen to what they’re not saying. (据报道，只有7%的交流包含在我们使用的词语中。其余的来自肢体语言（53%）以及我们如何说话，或者我们的声音中反映的语气和感觉（40%）。要听别人真正在说什么，你也需要听他们没有说什么。)”可知，本段是要讲述如何去倾听，与A项“Listen with your eyes, heart, and ears (用你的眼睛、心灵和耳朵去听)”上下文一致，符合文意。故选A项。 【18题详解】 根据下文“everyone is tender inside and has a desperate need to be understood.

I was nervous as I started to feel sick, really sick. I ran to the bathroom and washed my face with cold water to calm myself down, looking into the mirror and whispering “Come on, you can do this.” Some were looking forward to this moment for ages; but not me. I felt frightened every time I imagine how uncomfortable it would be on a stage, and being the center of attention. If it was a speech, I could manage, but repeating a scene from a movie that has already been done by professional actors is really hard because we get compared to them. But there was no choice. As I made it to the hall, my head went blank. Suddenly I felt nervous as I couldn't remember all the lines (台词) . Once I was there in the hall, my brain stopped working because of all the noise and the atmosphere in the air. As soon as the judges entered, the crowd quieted down and the performances began. I was really nervous until the first performer was called. But the more I waited, the more tired I got of waiting. At this moment, I was eager to my turn to give the performance, instead of suffering from the long time waiting. When the teacher called me to walk onto the stage, my heart beat raced again. I had a good look around, and there were only 30-40 people. Then I felt really stupid for being scared of having an audience. 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。 Paragraph 1: I introduced myself and started to perform what I had been eager for long before. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: After I was done, I looked at the audience, thinking how much I loved doing this. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 I introduced myself and started to perform what I had been dying for long before. First I felt a bit short of breath due to my nervousness. But I tried to push myself to picture myself as the real actor in the movie, engaging in the role I was playing. Soon, my hands stopped sweating, voice stopped shaking, and my performance sounded as natural as possible. More than once I heard the thundering applause from the audience, which relieved me knowing I was doing a great job. The more I went on, the more confident I became. After I was done, I looked at the audience, thinking how much I loved doing this. I sensed their appreciation from their faces, satisfaction from their eyes. To my amazement, they all stood up, giving deafening applause, cheering and shouting “Bravo...!” I felt so relieved and content, realizing standing on the stage is not a big deal at all. Actually, the audience are the best supporters and all I have to do is to try my best. Being on the stage has taught me the best lesson ever: just be devoted to what you are doing. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者在表演开始前最初感到害怕和紧张，但当他走上舞台时，发现观众并不多，感到自己之前的担心有些愚蠢。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我做了自我介绍，开始表演我早就想做的事情。”可知，第一段可描写作者克服紧张全身心投入到所扮演的角色中，表演渐入佳境，赢得雷鸣般的掌声。 ②由第二段首句内容“结束后，我看着观众，心想我是多么喜欢做这件事。”可知，第二段可描写作者的表演得到观众的认可，感到如释重负，意识到站在舞台上根本不是什么大事。 2.续写线索：由于紧张感到气短——投入到扮演的角色中——听到观众雷鸣般的掌声——得到观众的认可——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①想象：picture/imagine ②发抖：shake/tremble ③意识到：realize/be aware 情绪类 ①紧张：nervousness/tension ②满意：content/satisfied 【点睛】[高分句型1] More than once I heard the thundering applause from the audience, which relieved me knowing I was doing a great job.(运用了关系代词which引导非限制性定语从句和省略连词that的宾语从句) [高分句型2] I felt so relieved and content, realizing standing on the stage is not a big deal at all.(运用现在分词作状语从句和省略连接词that的宾语从句) [高分句型3] Actually, the audience are the best supporters and all I have to do is to try my best.(运用了省略关系代词that的限制性定语从句) 听力 1—5 ABBCB 6—10 ACCAA 11—15 CBBAC 16—20 CACBB 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
