My palms (手掌) were sweating. All I could concentrate on was the man below who was keeping the ladder steady. The tiny people waved up at me, but I couldn’t see them clearly. When I got to the top, some sort of supernatural force brought my feet to the edge of the platform. I was going to slip off the board. The line holding me was going to break, and I was once again going to be thrown to death. Down was the only direction my eyes would go. I begged to go back down the ladder, but the stupid man tried to convince me. The tiny dots below shouted encouragingly, saying they would run with me as I flew. I was going to slide off that platform. I couldn’t think; the tears stopped my brain. Why wouldn’t he let me go back? The message replayed in my mind, “You’re going to die…” Like a blown-up balloon, I was let go just before it could be knotted at the bottom. I went in every direction, tension escaping from my body as I fell. The breeze hit my face and cooled my sweaty body. I could see clearly now, and I was flying. Today, I am still terrified of heights. It would be nice to say that I conquered my fear and found something I loved. I owe my zip line (飞索) experience to the Englishman who pushed me off the platform. I am grateful for the experience because I love adventure. Trying new things has always appealed to me. Some of the most rewarding experiences I have had, like flying, have come out of conquering what at first appears to be frightening and impossible. While my days of aerial escapades are over, I look forward to the future and the question of fear of flying and will continue to create questions wherever I go. 4. How did the author feel when he was on the ladders? A. Exhausted. B. Frightened. C. Annoyed. D. Excited. 5. Why did the Englishman push the author off platform? A. To teach him to fly. B. To push him to death. C. To develop his courage. D. To test his ability to climb. 6. Through the zip line experience, the author learns that ________. A. everyone can enjoy flying well B. trying difficult things is his favorite C. looking back on the old days is awful for him D. something that seems impossible can be conquered 7. What does the underlined phrase “aerial escapades” in Paragraph 5 refer to? A. The author’s zip line experience. B. The author’s difficulty in life. C. The author’s failure in adventure. D. The author’s dreams about his future. 【答案】4. B 5. C 6. D 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。详细叙述了作者体验飞索时的内心活动和感受，从紧张害怕到最终的飞翔，以及这次经历对作者产生的影响。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“I tried not to look down. My palms (手掌) were sweating. All I could concentrate on was the man below who was keeping the ladder steady. The tiny people waved up at me, but I couldn’t see them clearly.(我尽量不往下看。我的手掌在冒汗。我能集中注意力的只有下面那个把梯子固定住的人。那些小人儿向我招手，但我看不清他们)”以及第三段“I begged to go back down the ladder, but the stupid man tried to convince me.(我恳求从梯子上下来，但那个愚蠢的人试图说服我)”可知，作者站在梯子上，手心冒汗，不敢往下看，想要从梯子上下来，推知他是害怕的。故选B项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Today, I am still terrified of heights. It would be nice to say that I conquered my fear and found something I loved. I owe my zip line (飞索) experience to the Englishman who pushed me off the platform. I am grateful for the experience because I love adventure.(今天，我仍然恐高。如果说我克服了恐惧，找到了自己喜欢的东西，那就太好了。我的飞索体验要归功于那个把我从平台上推下去的英国人。我很感激这次经历，因为我喜欢冒险)”可知，作者自己仍然恐高，但很感激这次飞索经历，因为它帮助自己克服了一开始的恐惧和不可能，暗示了这次经历是为了培养作者的勇气，因此英国人把作者推下平台是为了培养他的勇气。故选C项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Some of the most rewarding experiences I have had, like flying, have come out of conquering what at first appears to be frightening and impossible. While my days of aerial escapades are over, I look forward to the future and the question of fear of flying and will continue to create questions wherever I go.(我有过的一些最有意义的经历，比如飞行，就是来自于征服那些起初看起来令人恐惧和不可能的事情。虽然我在空中冒险的日子已经结束了，但我期待着未来，以及对飞行恐惧的问题，无论我走到哪里，我都会继续提出问题)”可知，通过高空滑索的经历，作者了解到一些看似不可能的事情是可以被征服的。故选D项。 【7题详解】 词句猜测题。根据前文“I owe my zip line (飞索) experience to the Englishman who pushed me off the platform. I am grateful for the experience because I love adventure. Trying new things has always appealed to me. Some of the most rewarding experiences I have had, like flying, have come out of conquering what at first appears to be frightening and impossible.(我的飞索体验要归功于那个把我从平台上推下去的英国人。我很感激这次经历，因为我喜欢冒险。尝试新事物一直对我很有吸引力。我有过的一些最有价值的经历，比如飞翔，都是在克服最初看起来可怕和不可能的事情之后获得的)”以及前文可知，作者主要讲述了作者体验飞索时的经历，所以根据后文的“are over”可推知，应是“飞索经历”结束了，推知aerial escapades应是指“作者的飞索体验”。故选A项。 C The human voice is a delicate thing. Each person’s distinctive voice is produced when air from the lungs causes the vocal cords (声带) to vibrate (震颤). These vocal cords can easily get damaged. According to a 2005 study, 30% of the population will experience a voice disorder at some point in their life. In a study published in the journal Nature Communications this week, a group of bioengineering researchers from the University of California have put forward an attractive solution. They have designed and tested a soft patch (小片) that can be stuck onto a person’s neck, where it will pick up muscle movements and, with the help of machine-learning algorithms (算法) that process the signals, translate them into speech. When a person loses their voice today, the easiest fix is to turn to typing, texting, or writing notes to communicate. Typing can be slow and convenient, says Jun Chen, the paper’s lead author, and writing notes is only possible in good lighting. The new solution would therefore be able to clear all these hurdles. Dr. Chen’s device works based on something called the magnetoelastic effect. Essentially, when tiny magnetic (磁性) bits are placed into soft materials, their magnetic properties can change as the material is stretched. When the throat muscles move under the soft patch, the resulting magnetoelastic effects can be changed into electrical signals. In a test with eight participants, the variations can be changed by electrical signals. Researchers recorded the signals as the subjects spoke and mouthed five different sentences. They then trained a machine-learning model which was then able to predict which of the five sentences the participants spoke-whether aloud or in silence-with more than 90% accuracy. There is a way to go yet, for now the device can only recognize the five phrases it was trained on. Plus, to make it practical at scale, the researchers will need to collect a lot more data. 8. In paragraph 1, the author mainly wants to tell us that____. A. lungs are easily damaged B. the human voice is unique C. vocal cords vibrate to produce sound D. voice disorders are a problem worthy of attention 9. Why does the author mention the biometric effect? A. To explain the working principle. B. To present a solution. C. To introduce the challenge. D. To make a comparison. 10. What is the function of the soft patch? A. Predicting five different sentences. B. Destroying the background magnetic field. C. Slowing the movements of throat muscles. D. Helping turn muscle movements into electrical signals. 11. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A. Predicting the Importance of Voice Restoration B. Using Algorithms in Bioengineering Research C. Overcoming Voice Loss with an innovative Patch D. Finding the Principle of Communication Devices 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。介绍了一项最新的科学研究成果，即一种可以贴在人脖子上的软贴片，能够通过捕捉肌肉运动并将其转化为语言。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“The human voice is a delicate thing. Each person’s distinctive voice is produced when air from the lungs causes the vocal cords (声带) to vibrate (震颤). These vocal cords can easily get damaged. According to a 2005 study, 30% of the population will experience a voice disorder at some point in their life.(人类的声音是一种微妙的东西。每个人独特的声音是由肺部的空气引起声带振动而产生的。这些声带很容易受损。根据2005年的一项研究，30%的人在一生中的某个阶段会经历声音障碍)”可知，本段主要想告诉我们声音障碍是一个值得关注的问题。故选D项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“They have designed and tested a soft patch (小片) that can be stuck onto a person’s neck, where it will pick up muscle movements and, with the help of machine-learning algorithms (算法) that process the signals, translate them into speech.(他们设计并测试了一种柔软的贴片，可以贴在人的脖子上，在那里它会捕捉肌肉运动，并在处理信号的机器学习算法的帮助下，将它们转化为语音)”以及第三段“When a person loses their voice today, the easiest fix is to turn to typing, texting, or writing notes to communicate. Typing can be slow and convenient, says Jun Chen, the paper’s lead author, and writing notes is only possible in good lighting. The new solution would therefore be able to clear all these hurdles.(如今，当一个人失声时，最简单的解决办法就是打字、发短信或写笔记来交流。该论文的第一作者Jun Chen说，打字可能既慢又方便，而且只有在良好的光线下才能写笔记。因此，新的解决方案将能够清除所有这些障碍)”和第四段“Dr. Chen’s device works based on something called the magnetoelastic effect.(陈博士的装置是基于磁弹性效应工作的)”可知，作者提到magnetoelastic effect是为了解释贴片的工作原理。故选A项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Essentially, when tiny magnetic (磁性的) bits are placed into soft materials, their magnetic properties can change as the material is stretched.(从本质上讲，当微小的磁性钻头被放入柔软的材料中时，它们的磁性会随着材料的拉伸而改变)”以及第五段“When the throat muscles move under the soft patch, the resulting magnetoelastic effects can be changed into electrical signals.(当喉部肌肉在软贴片下运动时，产生的磁弹性效应可以转化为电信号)”可知，软贴片的功能是帮助将肌肉运动转化为电信号。故选D项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“In a study published in the journal Nature Communications this week, a group of bioengineering researchers from the University of California have put forward an attractive solution. They have designed and tested a soft patch (小片) that can be stuck onto a person’s neck, where it will pick up muscle movements and, with the help of machine-learning algorithms (算法) that process the signals, translate them into speech.(在本周发表在《自然通讯》杂志上的一项研究中，来自加州大学的一组生物工程研究人员提出了一个有吸引力的解决方案。他们设计并测试了一种柔软的贴片，可以贴在人的脖子上，在那里它会捕捉肌肉运动，并在处理信号的机器学习算法的帮助下，将它们转化为语音)”以及纵观全文可知，本文主要讲述了一种可以贴在人脖子上的软贴片，能够通过捕捉肌肉运动并将其转化为语言，所以C项“Overcoming Voice Loss with an innovative Patch(用创新的贴片克服失声)”是本文最好的标题。故选C项。 D An AI robot has beaten humans at a Labyrinth marble (迷宫弹珠) game, the first time a machine has shown it can master both physical flexibility and learning. The game, which involves controlling a marble around a series of obstacles while stopping the ball falling into multiple holes, requires skill, patience and a delicate touch. Currently, Sweden’s Lars Goran Danielsson, who has played the game for 35 years, holds the record for completing the maze (迷宫) in 15.41 seconds. But a robot called CyberRunner, built by Swiss researchers at ETH Zurich, clocked a time of 14.48 seconds after just six hours of practice. A professor at ETH Zurich said, “It’s not just about beating humans at a game. It’s beating humans at a game that requires direct physical skill and flexibility. The first model that allowed a machine to beat a human at a game was instrumental. Now what we’ re doing here isn’t just to change the type of challenge. We’re adding dimensions, adding multiple boundaries to be broken.” In the game, which was first brought to market by British company Brio in 1946, the movement of the marble is controlled through two handles. While a relatively straightforward game, it requires fine motor skills and spatial reasoning abilities, and humans require great amounts of practice to become dexterous at the game. The robot uses two motors to move the handles and watches its progress through a camera fixed above the board. Just like humans, CyberRunner learns through experience, recognizing which strategies and behaviors are more promising, so that it gets better run after run, using model- based reinforcement (加强) learning. Computer scientists were interested to find that CyberRunner’s first reaction was to cheat, finding quicker ways by skipping parts of the maze. Thomas Bi, another professor, said, “Interestingly during the learning process, CyberRunner naturally discovered shortcuts. It found ways to ‘cheat’ by skipping certain parts of the maze. We had to step in and exactly instruct it not to take any of those shortcuts.” Experts said the new breakthrough marked the world’s first physical application of AI where it beat a human. 12. How did CyberRunner perform in the game? A. It showed flexibility both physically and mentally. B. Its mental state was disturbed frequently. C. It showed no interest in playing games. D. It showed a breakthrough in human performance. 13. What does the underlined word “dexterous” in paragraph 4mean? A. Excited. B. Nervous. C. Expert. D. Overjoyed. 14. What does Thomas BI mean by his words? A. Experts should give CyberRunner more tips. B. CyberRunner is good at solving problems. C. The application of AI is falling behind. D. CyberRunner won by cheating. 15. Which is the most suitable title for the text? A. ETH Zurich’s Robot Breaks Chess Records B. A Smart Robot Wins in a Marble Game C. CyberRunner: A Robot Race Winner D. Humans Shine in a Marble Game 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. B 15. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了人工智能在一款弹珠游戏中获胜，专家表示，这一新突破标志着世界上第一次人工智能在物理应用上击败了人类。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“An AI robot has beaten humans at a Labyrinth marble (迷宫弹珠) game, the first time a machine has shown it can master both physical flexibility and learning. (一个人工智能机器人在迷宫弹珠游戏中击败了人类，这是机器第一次显示出它可以同时掌握身体灵活性和学习能力。)”以及第二段“The game, which involves controlling a marble around a series of obstacles while stopping the ball falling into multiple holes, requires skill, patience and a delicate touch. (这个游戏需要控制一个弹珠绕过一系列障碍，同时阻止它掉进多个洞里，需要技巧、耐心和细腻的触感。)”可知，在游戏中，CyberRunner显示了身体和精神上的灵活性。故选A。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“While a relatively straightforward game, it requires fine motor skills and spatial reasoning abilities, and humans require great amounts of practice to become (虽然这是一款相对简单的游戏，但它需要良好的运动技能和空间推理能力，而人类需要大量的练习才能……)”可知，游戏需要良好的运动技能和空间推理能力，人类需要大量时间练习，从而变得熟练，才能完好这个游戏。故划线词意思是“熟练的”。故选C。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Computer scientists were interested to find that CyberRunner’s first reaction was to cheat, finding quicker ways by skipping parts of the maze. (计算机科学家很感兴趣地发现，CyberRunner的第一反应是作弊，通过跳过迷宫的一部分来寻找更快的方法。)”以及“  CyberRunner , another professor, said, “Interestingly during the learning process, CyberRunner naturally discovered shortcuts. It found ways to ‘cheat’ by skipping certain parts of the maze. We had to step in and exactly instruct it not to take any of those shortcuts.” (另一位教授托马斯·比也表示：“有趣的是，在学习过程中，CyberRunner自然而然地发现了捷径。它找到了一些‘作弊’的方法，能够跳过迷宫中的某些部分。我们不得不介入并明确指示它不要走那些捷径。”。)”可知，CyberRunner 提到CyberRunner在学习过程中“自然发现了捷径”，并通过跳过迷宫部分来“作弊”，这表明CyberRunner能够主动寻找并利用更高效的解决方案来解决问题。尽管需要人类干预以防止作弊，但这一行为凸显了CyberRunner在解决问题方面的能力。因此，Thomas Bi的话意味着CyberRunner擅长解决问题。故选B。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“An AI robot has beaten humans at a Labyrinth marble (迷宫弹珠) game, the first time a machine has shown it can master both physical flexibility and learning. (一个人工智能机器人在迷宫弹珠游戏中击败了人类，这是机器第一次显示出它可以同时掌握身体灵活性和学习能力。)”结合文章主要说明了人工智能在一款弹珠游戏中获胜，专家表示，这一新突破标志着世界上第一次人工智能在物理应用上击败了人类。可知，B选项“一个聪明的机器人在弹珠游戏中获胜”最符合文章标题。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。 We often close ourselves off when painful events happen in our lives. Instead of letting the world soften us, we let it drive us deeper into ourselves. We try to ignore the hurt and pain, but we can’t hide from ourselves. ____16____ The following are four tips on opening your heart fully and completely. Accept the pain. Whenever a painful situation arises in your life, try to face it instead of running away. ____17____. When the sadness strikes, take a deep breath and accept it. By using our breath, we soften our experiences and allow more newness. ____18____ We’ re often confused about the next step to take. Actually, we can try a new decision-making process. To start this process, we may ask, “Heart, what decision should I make here? What action feels the most right?” See what comes up, then put it into practice and evaluate the outcome. Spend time alone. For most-of our lives we are surrounded by people: our friends, family members, and strangers. ____19____ When you spend time in solitude (独处), you are free from the influences of other people, which might be painful at first, but eventually you will add a whole new layer of depth and understanding to your life. Get outside of yourself. ____20____. But in reality, they actually work hand in hand. After you’ve explored the depths of yourself, you come away with a new understanding. Now, it is time to share that — not through telling others, but through being with others. A. Have a light heart. B. Ask your heart what it wants C. Is there anything I’m hiding from myself? D. How often do we really spend time alone? E. This may seem a little contradictory to the last tip. F. We should open our hearts and take action to heal the wounds. G. When we run away from sadness, it gets stronger and more real. 【答案】16. F 17. G 18. B 19. D 20. E 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章介绍了完全敞开心扉的建议。 【16题详解】 根据上文“We try to ignore the hurt and pain, but we can’t hide from ourselves. (我们试图忽略伤害和痛苦，但我们无法隐藏自己。)”以及下文“The following are four tips on opening your heart fully and completely. (下面是四条完全敞开心扉的建议。)”可知，上文提到试图忽略伤害和痛苦不起作用，下文提出敞开心扉的建议，推知空处应是说我们应该敞开心扉，F项“我们应该敞开心扉，采取行动来治愈所有的创伤。”符合语境，故选F。 【17题详解】 上文“Whenever a painful situation arises in your life, try to face it instead of running away. (当生活中出现痛苦的情况时，试着去面对它，而不是逃避。)”建议去面对痛苦，而不是逃避，G项“当我们逃避悲伤时，悲伤会变得更强烈、更真实。”阐述逃避痛苦的后果，故选G。 【18题详解】 根据本段中“To start this process, we may ask, “Heart, what decision should l make here? What action feels the most right?” (要开始这个过程，我们可能会问，“心啊，我应该做什么决定？什么样的行动感觉最正确？”)”可知，本段是说询问自己的内心，B项“问你的心想要什么”符合语境，故选B。 【19题详解】 根据本段主题句“Spend time alone. (花时间独处。)”以及上文“For most of our lives we are surrounded by people: our friends, family members, and strangers. (在我们生活的大部分时间里，我们都被人包围着：我们的朋友、家人和陌生人。)”可知， 本段主要讲独处，上文提到我们大部分时间都被人包围着，D项“我们有多少时间真正独处？”承接上文，且呼应本段主题，故选D。 【20题详解】 根据下文的转折“But in reality, they actually work hand in hand. (但在现实中，它们实际上是相辅相成的。)”可知，空处应是说它们相矛盾，与下文相辅相成形成转折关系，E选项“这似乎与最后一个提示有点矛盾。”，符合题意，故选E。 第三部分 语言运用 (共三节，满分40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。 It was a busy Monday morning as usual.

In my childhood, I often played on the beach with my elder sister, chasing(追逐) the waves and enjoying the seaside scenery. One sunny summer afternoon, my sister and I were playing on a big rock. quite a distance from the beach. We were so happy that we didn’t notice the water rising. When we decided to go back, we were shocked to find that the rock had almost been covered by water and there was no way back to the shore. Meanwhile, the wind blew harder and harder. We got into a panic, waving and shouting crazily towards the shore. Suddenly, I slipped (滑) and fell into the sea. My sister stretched out her hand to catch hold of me. However, she could not stay still, and stay off the rock into the sea, too. “Help! Help!” We cried. I could feel my body tingling (酸麻) as I tried to breathe for air. I attempted to swim back to the rock, but the water was too deep and the waves were too strong. What made things worse was that the rough water made it almost impossible for anyone to hear our cries. Tears mixed with the water as I struggled in the sea. My sister, although using all her strength, wasn’t able to pull me in. Instead, she was being pushed apart from me by the big waves. The two of us, scared to death, kept crying. Luckily, two boys playing on the beach happened to see us. They quickly found a stick nearby and approached us cautiously, hand in hand. They tried to pull us ashore with the stick. But the stick was too short for us to reach. Worse still, the wind was getting so strong that the two boys were rocked from side to side, unable to stand steadily. Eventually, they had no choice but to go back to the shore to look for other people to help us. 注意： 1.续写词数应为80-100; 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Another huge wave crashed over my head and pulled me under. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 Another huge wave crashed over my head and pulled me under.

My palms (手掌) were sweating. All I could concentrate on was the man below who was keeping the ladder steady. The tiny people waved up at me, but I couldn’t see them clearly. When I got to the top, some sort of supernatural force brought my feet to the edge of the platform. I was going to slip off the board. The line holding me was going to break, and I was once again going to be thrown to death. Down was the only direction my eyes would go. I begged to go back down the ladder, but the stupid man tried to convince me. The tiny dots below shouted encouragingly, saying they would run with me as I flew. I was going to slide off that platform. I couldn’t think; the tears stopped my brain. Why wouldn’t he let me go back? The message replayed in my mind, “You’re going to die…” Like a blown-up balloon I was let go just before it could be knotted at the bottom. I went in every direction, tension escaping from my body as I fell. The breeze hit my face and cooled my sweaty body. I could see clearly now, and I was flying. Today, I am still terrified of heights. It would be nice to say that I conquered my fear and found something I loved. I owe my zip line (飞索) experience to the Englishman who pushed me off the platform. I am grateful for the experience because I love adventure. Trying new things has always appealed to me. Some of the most rewarding experiences I have had, like flying, have come out of conquering what at first appears to be frightening and impossible. While my days of aerial escapades are over, I look forward to the future and the question of fear of flying and will continue to create questions wherever I go. 4. How did the author feel when he was on the ladders? A. Exhausted. B. Frightened. C. Annoyed. D. Excited. 5. Why did the Englishman push the author off platform? A. To teach him to fly. B. To push him to death. C. To develop his courage. D. To test his ability to climb. 6. Through the zip line experience, the author learns that ________. A. everyone can enjoy flying well B. trying difficult things is his favorite C. looking back on the old days is awful for him D. something that seems impossible can be conquered 7. What does the underlined phrase “aerial escapades” in Paragraph 5 refer to? A. The author’s zip line experience. B. The author’s difficulty in life. C. The author’s failure in adventure. D. The author’s dreams about his future. C The human voice is a delicate thing. Each person’s distinctive voice is produced when air from the lungs causes the vocal cords (声带) to vibrate (震颤). These vocal cords can easily get damaged. According to a 2005 study, 30% of the population will experience a voice disorder at some point in their life. In a study published in the journal Nature Communications this week, a group of bioengineering researchers from the University of California have put forward an attractive solution. They have designed and tested a soft patch (小片) that can be stuck onto a person’s neck, where it will pick up muscle movements and, with the help of machine-learning algorithms (算法) that process the signals, translate them into speech. When a person loses their voice today, the easiest fix is to turn to typing, texting, or writing notes to communicate. Typing can be slow and convenient, says Jun Chen, the paper’s lead author, and writing notes is only possible in good lighting. The new solution would therefore be able to clear all these hurdles. Dr. Chen’s device works based on something called the magnetoelastic effect. Essentially, when tiny magnetic (磁性的) bits are placed into soft materials, their magnetic properties can change as the material is stretched. When the throat muscles move under the soft patch, the resulting magnetoelastic effects can be changed into electrical signals. In a test with eight participants, the variations can be changed by electrical signals. Researchers recorded the signals as the subjects spoke and mouthed five different sentences. They then trained a machine-learning model which was then able to predict which of the five sentences the participants spoke-whether aloud or in silence-with more than 90% accuracy. There is a way to go yet, for now the device can only recognize the five phrases it was trained on. Plus, to make it practical at scale, the researchers will need to collect a lot more data. 8. In paragraph 1, the author mainly wants to tell us that____.

Finding the Principle of Communication Devices D An AI robot has beaten humans at a Labyrinth marble (迷宫弹珠) game, the first time a machine has shown it can master both physical flexibility and learning. The game, which involves controlling a marble around a series of obstacles while stopping the ball falling into multiple holes, requires skill, patience and a delicate touch. Currently, Sweden’s Lars Goran Danielsson, who has played the game for 35 years, holds the record for completing the maze (迷宫) in 15.41 seconds. But a robot called CyberRunner, built by Swiss researchers at ETH Zurich, clocked a time of 14.48 seconds after just six hours of practice. A professor at ETH Zurich said, “It’s not just about beating humans at a game. It’s beating humans at a game that requires direct physical skill and flexibility. The first model that allowed a machine to beat a human at a game was instrumental. Now what we’ re doing here isn’t just to change the type of challenge. We’re adding dimensions, adding multiple boundaries to be broken.” In the game, which was first brought to market by British company Brio in 1946, the movement of the marble is controlled through two handles. While a relatively straightforward game, it requires fine motor skills and spatial reasoning abilities, and humans require great amounts of practice to become dexterous at the game. The robot uses two motors to move the handles and watches its progress through a camera fixed above the board. Just like humans, CyberRunner learns through experience, recognizing which strategies and behaviors are more promising, so that it gets better run after run, using model- based reinforcement (加强) learning. Computer scientists were interested to find that CyberRunner’s first reaction was to cheat, finding quicker ways by skipping parts of the maze. Thomas Bi, another professor, said, “Interestingly during the learning process, CyberRunner naturally discovered shortcuts. It found ways to ‘cheat’ by skipping certain parts of the maze. We had to step in and exactly instruct it not to take any of those shortcuts.” Experts said the new breakthrough marked the world’s first physical application of AI where it beat a human. 12. How did CyberRunner perform in the game? A. It showed flexibility both physically and mentally. B. Its mental state was disturbed frequently. C. It showed no interest in playing games. D. It showed a breakthrough in human performance. 13. What does the underlined word “dexterous” in paragraph 4mean? A. Excited. B. Nervous. C. Expert. D. Overjoyed. 14. What does Thomas BI mean by his words? A. Experts should give CyberRunner more tips. B. CyberRunner is good at solving problems. C. The application of AI is falling behind. D. CyberRunner won by cheating. 15. Which is the most suitable title for the text? A ETH Zurich’s Robot Breaks Chess Records B. A Smart Robot Wins in a Marble Game C. CyberRunner: A Robot Race Winner D. Humans Shine in a Marble Game 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。 We often close ourselves off when painful events happen in our lives.

In my childhood, I often played on the beach with my elder sister, chasing(追逐) the waves and enjoying the seaside scenery. One sunny summer afternoon, my sister and I were playing on a big rock. quite a distance from the beach. We were so happy that we didn’t notice the water rising. When we decided to go back, we were shocked to find that the rock had almost been covered by water and there was no way back to the shore. Meanwhile, the wind blew harder and harder. We got into a panic, waving and shouting crazily towards the shore. Suddenly, I slipped (滑) and fell into the sea. My sister stretched out her hand to catch hold of me. However, she could not stay still, and stay off the rock into the sea, too. “Help! Help!” We cried. I could feel my body tingling (酸麻) as I tried to breathe for air. I attempted to swim back to the rock, but the water was too deep and the waves were too strong. What made things worse was that the rough water made it almost impossible for anyone to hear our cries. Tears mixed with the water as I struggled in the sea. My sister, although using all her strength, wasn’t able to pull me in. Instead, she was being pushed apart from me by the big waves. The two of us, scared to death, kept crying. Luckily, two boys playing on the beach happened to see us. They quickly found a stick nearby and approached us cautiously, hand in hand. They tried to pull us ashore with the stick. But the stick was too short for us to reach. Worse still, the wind was getting so strong that the two boys were rocked from side to side, unable to stand steadily. Eventually, they had no choice but to go back to the shore to look for other people to help us. 注意： 1.续写词数应为80-100; 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Another huge wave crashed over my head and pulled me under. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1.
