Our guide looks at the best beaches to visit in the UK in the winter months. Cuckmere Haven, East Sussex If you’re visiting Brighton or Eastbourne, a winter walk along Cuckmere Haven beach and through Seven Sisters Country Park is a must. Here, brisk sea breezes refresh your mind and amazing beach and ocean provide the perfect setting for an open-air yoga session. Robin Hood’s Bay, Yorkshire Robin Hood’s Bay is a hidden bit of history, with its raw cliffs, red-roofed cottages and unusual architecture. The beach itself is one of the UK’s best spots for fossil-hunting. Perfect to visit in the winter, you can enjoy a walk along the cliffs or beach to take in the historical village. Embleton Bay, Northumberland A beautiful long stretch of beach overlooked by the impressive ruins of Dunstanburgh Castle, Embleton Bay is a perfect winter beach. On a clear cold morning the ruins can be seen perfectly from the beach and beach itself backs onto dunes (沙丘), famous for flowers, grasses and birds. Charmouth, Dorset There are few family pleasures as simple or as satisfying as finding fossils on the beach. It’s an outdoor experience perfect for children of all ages. There’s no better place to indulge a passion for fossils than the Jurassic coastline of Dorset and Devon. Now recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it’s made up of 95 miles and 185 million years of prehistoric life. 1. Which beach best suits people who pursue a mind and body practice? A. Cuckmere Haven. B. Robin Hood’s Bay. C. Embleton Bay. D. Charmouth. 2. What do the Robin Hood’s Bay and Charmouth have in common? A. They have beautiful cliffs. B. They have historical villages. C. They are good fossil-hunting spots. D. They are UNESCO World Heritage Sites. 3. Where is this text probably taken from? A. A biography. B. A travel brochure. C. An academic article. D. An exhibition guide. B Joseph Dituri hasn’t seen the sun for two fortnights. And he won’t see it again for months. Since March 1st, the professor has been underwater, with the goal of spending 100 days there-for science. If successful, he will break the current world record for time spent living underwater, which was set by two Tennessee biologists in 2014 when they stayed beneath the surface for 73 days. Dituri, who has been nicknamed “Dr. Deep Sea”, is living in Jules’ Undersea Lodge (小屋) in Key Largo, Florida-the same underwater venue where the previous record was set. The 100-square-foot hotel, which sits 30 feet below the surface, is his temporary home, where he is carrying out research and giving virtual lectures for his students at the University of South Florida. “The human body has never been underwater that long, so I will be monitored closely,” Dituri said. “This study will examine every way this journey impacts my body, but my hypothesis (假设) is that there will be improvements to my health due to the increased pressure.” This hypothesis comes from a study that indicated potentially positive effects of pressure exposure on cell growth and vitality (活力), and Dituri hopes that his underwater experience could reveal ways to combat age-related diseases and lengthen lifespan. As part of his research, Dituri is investigating the effects of living in a high-pressure environment for an extended period. To keep water from entering the lodge, air must constantly be pumped into the space to create a pressure about 1.6 times higher than that of the Earth’s surface. Therefore, it can’t be achieved in his own right. Before the journey, Dituri had undergone psychosocial, psychological and medical tests. He continues to undergo testing during and after his 100 days at the lodge. “The mental health part of this is important, because I’m in an isolated and limited environment,” he said. Beyond research, the project is also a chance to cultivate children’s enthusiasm for exploring the science field. Dituri invites about 40 children to stay with him for 24 hours at a time and teach them to dive. To him, this outreach is what makes the whole project worth it-more than the chance for a world record. 4. What do we know about Dituri’s experiment from the text? A. It is scheduled to end on July 9th. B. It has been on for nearly a month. C. Its aim is just to break the world record. D. It is conducted where two Tennessce biologists settled. 5 What is Dituri’s attitude toward the impact the increased pressure has on health? A. Doubtful. B. Cautious. C. Hopeful. D. Unclear. 6. Which scene possibly happens in the course of Dituri’s living underwater? A. He pumps the air into the lodge. B. He instructs invited children to dive. C. He analyzes his own psychosocial tests. D. He experiments in a spacious lodge. 7. Why does Dituri invite children to experience the underwater life? A. To arouse their eagerness for science. B. To ease his loneliness and isolation. C. To set a world record at full stretch. D. To prove the value of his experience. C Imagine getting ready for bed, brushing your teeth, setting your alarm and then putting a device on your head that allows you to control your dreams. It might sound like something unfeasible, but it’s the real-life promise of a new futuristic-looking headband called Halo, at present in development by US tech company Prophetic. Expected to be released in 2025, Halo aims to allow you to have more lucid dreams (清醒梦). In some cases, you might also exercise a degree of control over what happens in these dreams, perhaps in ways that benefit your waking life, such as solving work problems, practicing guitar and more. Earlier research has shown lucid dreams could be used for real-life benefits. For example, one study carried out by researchers at the University of Bern, Switzerland showed that participants who practised casting coins into a cup in their lucid dreams showed superior performance the next day. The team behind Halo are using technologies like EEG (脑电图) to collect vast amounts of brain data from volunteers experiencing lucid dreams. The idea is to build a detailed map of what’s happening in the brain during different types of lucid dreams. This information will be key for the second main area of investigation, which involves using TUS (delivered via the headband) to control brain activity. TUS, a non-invasive brain stimulation technique, can change brain function by using high-frequency sound. “It’s seemingly true that the sound stimulation could contribute to the high-frequency brain activity that’s associated with lucidity,” says Professor Mark Blagrove, a sleep scientist based at Swansea University. “Sound stimulation has been used to cause low-frequency slow waves in slow wave sleep, so the method suggested is believable.” However, TUS is a relatively new approach to brain stimulation and it’s not entirely clear what the long-term results of stimulating your brain with high-frequency sounds might be. Moreover, some sleep scientists believe dreams have basic functions, including processing emotional experiences. By using a device to change the nature of your dreams, maybe you risk interrupting the usual purpose of your dreams. 8. What does the underlined word “unfeasible” in paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Impossible. B. Significant. C. Logical. D. Meaningless. 9. Why is the study by the University of Bern mentioned? A. To suggest a way to dream a dream. B. To provide a theory for developing Halo. C. To prove the benefits of lucid dreams. D. To indicate the meaning of being awake. 10. What is the fourth paragraph mainly about? A. The way in which EEG works. B. The reason for designing Halo. C. The changes brought by Halo. D. The methods used by the team. 11. What can we know from the last paragraph? A. Hal o has got widespread recognition. B. There may be some side effects about Halo. C. Dreaming doesn’t have any functions. D. Lucid dreams cause emotional experiences. D Superhuman artificial intelligence is already among us. Well, sort of. When it comes to playing games like chess and Go, or solving difficult scientific challenges like predicting protein structures, computers are well ahead of us. But we have one superpower they aren’t close to mastering: mind reading. Humans have a mysterious ability to reason the goals, desires and beliefs of others, a vital skill that means we can predict other people’s actions and the consequences of our own. Reading minds comes so easily to us, though, that we often don’t think to spell out what we want. If AIs are to become truly useful in everyday life, we have to give them this gift that evolution has given us to read other people’s minds. Psychologists refer to the ability to infer other’s mental state as theory of mind. In humans, this ability starts to develop at a very young age. How to reproduce the competence in machines is far from clear, though. One of the main challenges is context. For instance, if someone asks whether you are going for a run and you reply “it’s raining”, they can quickly conclude that the answer is no. But this requires huge amounts of background knowledge about running, weather and human preferences. Moreover, whether humans or AI, the theory of mind is supposed to appear naturally from one’s own learning process. Yet we might still want AI to have a more human-like form of theory of mind. While letting AI form the theory of mind in their learning process is likely to lead to developing more powerful AI, plainly building in shared ways to represent knowledge may be crucial for humans to trust and communicate with AI. It is important to remember, though, that the pursuit of machines with theory of mind is about more than just building more useful robots. It is also a stepping stone on the path towards a deeper goal for AI and robotics research: building truly self-aware machines. Whether we will ever get there remains to be seen, but we are on the path to learning to think about ourselves. 12. Why does the author mention “games” and “protein structures” in the first paragraph? A To stress how important the science is. B. To promote the use of AI in daily life. C. To present AI’s theory of mind. D. To contrast with AI’s lack of mind reading. 13. According to the passage, which of the following contexts can AI understand well? A. When kids see their mom after hurting themselves and they cry louder. B. When a mom tells her kid to eat the food that is good for health and he eats it. C. When a teacher asks for a boy’s homework and he answers “my dog ate it”. D. When you are asked to eat spicy food for dinner and you reply “a sore throat”. 14. What may the author agree with? A. We should reject human-like forms of abilities for AI. B. Humans’ theory of mind is far from perfect. C. Mind reading requires huge amounts of context. D. The theory of mind is independent of one’s learning process. 15. Which would be the best title for the passage? A AI with Its Own Theory of Mind Is Expected B. AI with Theory of Mind Will Reshape Our Future C. AI’s Theory of Mind Is a Blessing or Suffering to Humans D. Theory of Mind Bridges the Gap Between Humans and AI 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。 In a joint effort to enhance public awareness about stroke symptoms and timely action, health experts have recently illustrated the critical importance of early recognition and immediate response to stroke signs.

She became emotional as she talked about their journey through his treatment and recovery. After what Mrs. Brown experienced with Rob’s illness, she decided to devote part of her life to helping people in similar situations. She told us about a local organization she was a part of called Be Head Strong, which works to support and comfort families with a member suffering from brain cancer. Mrs. Brown never showed any sadness about the disease. She instead spoke only with words of determination to find a cure. Through her positive spirit she showed us how strong hope could be. My parents taught me from a very young age that making wise choices with my money is important. I would always set aside most of my $2.50-a-week allowance. By the end of the school year, I had saved over one hundred dollars, $131.30 to be exact. One day I was wondering what to do with it. I thought about the stories Mrs. Brown told us. I decided that was where I wanted my money to go. As the last day of school approached, I told my parents about my gift for Mrs. Brown. My mom helped me wrap the heart-shaped box full of dollars and coins. After all the other kids had left on the last day of school, I handed Mrs. Brown the present. As she opened it, I told her that I wanted the money to go to Be Head Strong to help people like Rob. She broke into tears and hugged me tightly. At last, she invited me to Be Head Strong’s annual fundraiser and auction. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。 The night’s theme was hope and giving and many stories were shared. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ At the end of the night’s auction, people were asked to donate what they could. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力1-20BCAAB BBABC CBAAB CBAAA 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 本溪市第一中学2022级高三年级上学期假期验收考试 英语试卷 （考试时间：120分钟 试卷满分：150分） 第一部分听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，请先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 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。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.

The 100-square-foot hotel, which sits 30 feet below the surface, is his temporary home, where he is carrying out research and giving virtual lectures for his students at the University of South Florida. “The human body has never been underwater that long, so I will be monitored closely,” Dituri said. “This study will examine every way this journey impacts my body, but my hypothesis (假设) is that there will be improvements to my health due to the increased pressure.” This hypothesis comes from a study that indicated potentially positive effects of pressure exposure on cell growth and vitality (活力), and Dituri hopes that his underwater experience could reveal ways to combat age-related diseases and lengthen lifespan. As part of his research, Dituri is investigating the effects of living in a high-pressure environment for an extended period. To keep water from entering the lodge, air must constantly be pumped into the space to create a pressure about 1.6 times higher than that of the Earth’s surface. Therefore, it can’t be achieved in his own right. Before the journey, Dituri had undergone psychosocial, psychological and medical tests. He continues to undergo testing during and after his 100 days at the lodge. “The mental health part of this is important, because I’m in an isolated and limited environment,” he said. Beyond research, the project is also a chance to cultivate children’s enthusiasm for exploring the science field. Dituri invites about 40 children to stay with him for 24 hours at a time and teach them to dive. To him, this outreach is what makes the whole project worth it-more than the chance for a world record. 4. What do we know about Dituri’s experiment from the text? A. It is scheduled to end on July 9th. B. It has been on for nearly a month. C. Its aim is just to break the world record. D. It is conducted where two Tennessce biologists settled. 5. What is Dituri’s attitude toward the impact the increased pressure has on health? A. Doubtful. B. Cautious. C. Hopeful. D. Unclear. 6. Which scene possibly happens in the course of Dituri’s living underwater? A. He pumps the air into the lodge. B. He instructs invited children to dive. C. He analyzes his own psychosocial tests. D. He experiments in a spacious lodge. 7. Why does Dituri invite children to experience the underwater life? A. To arouse their eagerness for science. B. To ease his loneliness and isolation. C. To set a world record at full stretch. D. To prove the value of his experience. 【答案】4. B 5. C 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了科学家约瑟夫·迪图里潜水并在水下居住百日，挑战世界纪录，旨在研究高压环境对人体的益处，同时激发儿童科学热情。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Joseph Dituri hasn’t seen the sun for two fortnights.(Joseph Dituri已经两个两周没见太阳了)”可知，迪图里的实验持续了四周时间。故选B。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“This study will examine every way this journey impacts my body, but my hypothesis is that there will be improvements to my health due to the increased pressure.(这项研究将检验这次潜水过程对我身体各方面的影响，但我假设由于增大的水压，我的健康状况会有所改善)”可知，迪图里认为增大的水压会对健康有改善作用。故选C。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Dituri invites about 40 children to stay with him for 24 hours at a time and teach them to dive.(迪图里邀请了大约40名儿童，让他们一次与他共度24小时，并教他们潜水)”可知，迪图里邀请孩子跟他共处24小时，并且教他们潜水。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Beyond research, the project is also a chance to cultivate children’s enthusiasm for exploring the science field. Dituri invites about 40 children to stay with him for 24 hours at a time and teach them to dive.(除了研究之外，这个项目也是一个培养孩子们对探索科学领域热情的机会。迪图里邀请了大约40名儿童，让他们一次与他共度24小时，并教他们潜水)”可知，迪图里邀请孩子体验水下生活的原因是激发他们对科学的渴望。故选A。 C Imagine getting ready for bed, brushing your teeth, setting your alarm and then putting a device on your head that allows you to control your dreams. It might sound like something unfeasible, but it’s the real-life promise of a new futuristic-looking headband called Halo, at present in development by US tech company Prophetic. Expected to be released in 2025, Halo aims to allow you to have more lucid dreams (清醒梦). In some cases, you might also exercise a degree of control over what happens in these dreams, perhaps in ways that benefit your waking life, such as solving work problems, practicing guitar and more. Earlier research has shown lucid dreams could be used for real-life benefits. For example, one study carried out by researchers at the University of Bern, Switzerland showed that participants who practised casting coins into a cup in their lucid dreams showed superior performance the next day. The team behind Halo are using technologies like EEG (脑电图) to collect vast amounts of brain data from volunteers experiencing lucid dreams. The idea is to build a detailed map of what’s happening in the brain during different types of lucid dreams. This information will be key for the second main area of investigation, which involves using TUS (delivered via the headband) to control brain activity. TUS, a non-invasive brain stimulation technique, can change brain function by using high-frequency sound. “It’s seemingly true that the sound stimulation could contribute to the high-frequency brain activity that’s associated with lucidity,” says Professor Mark Blagrove, a sleep scientist based at Swansea University. “Sound stimulation has been used to cause low-frequency slow waves in slow wave sleep, so the method suggested is believable.” However, TUS is a relatively new approach to brain stimulation and it’s not entirely clear what the long-term results of stimulating your brain with high-frequency sounds might be. Moreover, some sleep scientists believe dreams have basic functions, including processing emotional experiences. By using a device to change the nature of your dreams, maybe you risk interrupting the usual purpose of your dreams. 8. What does the underlined word “unfeasible” in paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Impossible. B. Significant. C. Logical. D. Meaningless. 9. Why is the study by the University of Bern mentioned? A. To suggest a way to dream a dream. B. To provide a theory for developing Halo. C. To prove the benefits of lucid dreams. D. To indicate the meaning of being awake. 10. What is the fourth paragraph mainly about? A. The way in which EEG works. B. The reason for designing Halo. C. The changes brought by Halo. D. The methods used by the team. 11. What can we know from the last paragraph? A. Hal o has got widespread recognition. B. There may be some side effects about Halo. C Dreaming doesn’t have any functions. D. Lucid dreams cause emotional experiences. 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. D 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种可以帮助你控制做梦的设备。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据连词but可知，“It might sound like something unfeasible(这听起来可能unfeasible)”和下文“it’s the real-life promise of a new futuristic-looking headband called Halo, at present in development by US tech company Prophetic.(这是一款名为Halo的新型未来主义头戴装置的现实承诺，它目前正由美国科技公司Prophetic开发)”之间有转折关系。下文说这是一种可以实现的承诺，由此推知，上文说听起来“不可行的”，构成转折关系。画线词unfeasible与 Impossible意思一致。故选A项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Earlier research has shown lucid dreams could be used for real-life benefits. For example, one study carried out by researchers at the University of Bern, Switzerland showed that participants who practised casting coins into a cup in their lucid dreams showed superior performance the next day.(早些时候的研究表明，清晰梦境可以用于现实生活中。例如，瑞士伯尔尼大学的研究人员进行的一项研究表明，在清醒梦中练习向杯子里扔硬币的参与者第二天表现得更出色)”可知，段中提到伯尔尼大学的研究是为了证明段首观点：清晰梦境可以作用于现实生活，能给现实生活带来好处。故选C项。 【10题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段中“The team behind Halo are using technologies like EEG (脑电图) to collect vast amounts of brain data from volunteers experiencing lucid dreams. The idea is to build a detailed map of what’s happening in the brain during different types of lucid dreams. This information will be key for the second main area of investigation, which involves using TUS (delivered via the headband) to control brain activity. TUS, a non-invasive brain stimulation technique, can change brain function by using high-frequency sound.(Halo背后的团队正在使用脑电图等技术从经历清晰梦境的志愿者那里收集大量的大脑数据。这个想法是建立一个详细的地图，显示大脑在不同类型的清晰梦境中发生了什么。这一信息将是第二个主要研究领域的关键，这涉及到使用TUS(通过头带传递)来控制大脑活动。TUS是一种非侵入性脑刺激技术，可以通过使用高频声音来改变大脑功能)”可知，本段主要介绍了Halo团队使用的研究方法。故选D项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“However, TUS is a relatively new approach to brain stimulation and it’s not entirely clear what the long-term results of stimulating your brain with high-frequency sounds might be.(然而，TUS是一种相对较新的大脑刺激方法，目前还不完全清楚用高频声音刺激大脑的长期结果可能是什么)”和“By using a device to change the nature of your dreams, maybe you risk interrupting the usual purpose of your dreams.(通过使用一种设备来改变你梦的性质，也许你会冒险打断你梦的通常目的)”可知，目前还不清楚TUS可能造成的长期影响，它也许会我们做梦功能。由此推知，Halo头戴装置可能会有一些副作用。故选B项。 D Superhuman artificial intelligence is already among us. Well, sort of. When it comes to playing games like chess and Go, or solving difficult scientific challenges like predicting protein structures, computers are well ahead of us. But we have one superpower they aren’t close to mastering: mind reading. Humans have a mysterious ability to reason the goals, desires and beliefs of others, a vital skill that means we can predict other people’s actions and the consequences of our own. Reading minds comes so easily to us, though, that we often don’t think to spell out what we want. If AIs are to become truly useful in everyday life, we have to give them this gift that evolution has given us to read other people’s minds. Psychologists refer to the ability to infer other’s mental state as theory of mind. In humans, this ability starts to develop at a very young age. How to reproduce the competence in machines is far from clear, though. One of the main challenges is context. For instance, if someone asks whether you are going for a run and you reply “it’s raining”, they can quickly conclude that the answer is no. But this requires huge amounts of background knowledge about running, weather and human preferences. Moreover, whether humans or AI, the theory of mind is supposed to appear naturally from one’s own learning process. Yet we might still want AI to have a more human-like form of theory of mind. While letting AI form the theory of mind in their learning process is likely to lead to developing more powerful AI, plainly building in shared ways to represent knowledge may be crucial for humans to trust and communicate with AI. It is important to remember, though, that the pursuit of machines with theory of mind is about more than just building more useful robots. It is also a stepping stone on the path towards a deeper goal for AI and robotics research: building truly self-aware machines. Whether we will ever get there remains to be seen, but we are on the path to learning to think about ourselves. 12. Why does the author mention “games” and “protein structures” in the first paragraph? A. To stress how important the science is. B. To promote the use of AI in daily life. C. To present AI’s theory of mind. D. To contrast with AI’s lack of mind reading. 13. According to the passage, which of the following contexts can AI understand well? A. When kids see their mom after hurting themselves and they cry louder. B. When a mom tells her kid to eat the food that is good for health and he eats it. C. When a teacher asks for a boy’s homework and he answers “my dog ate it”. D. When you are asked to eat spicy food for dinner and you reply “a sore throat”. 14. What may the author agree with? A. We should reject human-like forms of abilities for AI. B. Humans’ theory of mind is far from perfect. C. Mind reading requires huge amounts of context. D. The theory of mind is independent of one’s learning process. 15. Which would be the best title for the passage? A AI with Its Own Theory of Mind Is Expected B. AI with Theory of Mind Will Reshape Our Future C. AI’s Theory of Mind Is a Blessing or Suffering to Humans D. Theory of Mind Bridges the Gap Between Humans and AI 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章讨论了人工智能在模拟人类“读心”能力方面的挑战和前景。虽然AI在棋类游戏和科学预测方面已超越人类，但缺乏理解他人目标和信念的能力。文章认为，为了让AI在日常生活中更有用，需要赋予其类似人类的“读心”能力，即理论思维。这不仅是提高AI实用性的关键，也是实现真正自我意识机器的重要步骤。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Superhuman artificial intelligence is already among us. Well, sort of. When it comes to playing games like chess and Go, or solving difficult scientific challenges like predicting protein structures, computers are well ahead of us. But we have one superpower they aren’t close to mastering: mind reading.(超人的人工智能已经在我们身边了。嗯，算是吧。在下棋和围棋等游戏，或解决预测蛋白质结构等困难的科学挑战方面，计算机远远领先于我们。但我们有一个超能力，他们还远没有掌握：读心术)”可知，作者在第一段中提到人工智能擅长游戏和预测蛋白质结构，也提到它还没有掌握的读心术，将两者进行对比 。由此推知，作者在第一段中提到“游戏”和“蛋白质结构”是为了与“人工智能缺乏读心术”进行比较。故选D。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“But we have one superpower they aren’t close to mastering: mind reading. (但我们有一个他们还没有掌握的超能力：读心术)”和第二段“Humans have a mysterious ability to reason the goals, desires and beliefs of others, a crucial skill that means we can anticipate other people’s actions and the consequences of our own.   (人类有一种神秘的能力来推理他人的目标、欲望和信仰，这是一项至关重要的技能，意味着我们可以预测他人的行为和自己的后果) ”和第三段的“For instance, if someone asks whether you are going for a run and you reply “it’s raining”, they can quickly conclude that the answer is no.(例如，如果有人问你是否要跑步，而你回答“正在下雨”，他们很快就会得出结论，答案是否定的)”可知，读心需要经过一定的推理和预测能力，需要理论思维能力，而计算机不具备人类所拥有的读心的能力。对A项“When kids see their mom after hurting themselves and they cry louder. (当孩子们在伤害自己后看到他们的妈妈时，他们哭得更大声)”、C项“When a teacher asks for a boy’s homework and he answers “my dog ate it”. (当老师问一个男孩的家庭作业时，他回答说“我的狗吃了”)”和D项“When you are asked to eat spicy food for dinner and you reply “a sore throat”. (你被要求晚餐吃辣的食物时，你回答说“喉咙痛”)”的理解都需要运用到思维理论去解释人们的目标和欲望，这是人工智能无法理解的。只有B项“When a mom tells her kid some food is good for health and the kid eats it. (当妈妈告诉她的孩子一些食物对健康有益时，孩子就会吃)”是直接的陈述，不需要运用思维理论，人工智能能很好的理解其意思。故选B。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“In humans, this ability starts to develop at a very young age. How to reproduce the competence in machines is far from clear, though. One of the main challenges is context. For instance, if someone asks whether you are going for a run and you reply “it’s raining”, they can quickly conclude that the answer is no. But this requires huge amounts of background knowledge about running, weather and human preferences.(在人类中，这种能力在很小的时候就开始发展。然而，如何在机器中复制这种能力还远不清楚。其中一个主要的挑战是背景。例如，如果有人问你是否要去跑步，你回答“下雨了”，他们可以很快得出结论，给出否定答案。但这需要大量关于跑步、天气和人类偏好的背景知识)”可知，理解别人的想法需要大量的背景信息。由此推知，作者会赞成“读心术需要大量的背景信息”这一观点。故选C。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合最后一段的“It is important to remember, though, that the pursuit of machines with theory of mind is about more than just building more useful robots. It is also a stepping stone on the path towards a deeper goal for AI and robotics research: building truly self-aware machines.(然而，重要的是要记住，追求具有心智理论的机器不仅仅是为了制造更有用的机器人。这也是通往人工智能和机器人研究更深层目标的垫脚石：制造真正具有自我意识的机器)”可知，文章讨论了人工智能在模拟人类“读心”能力方面的挑战和前景，作者期待建造真正有自我意识的机器，即作者期待人工智能具备思维理论。故A项“AI with Its Own Theory of Mind Is Expected(期待人工智有拥有自己的心智理论)”可以作为本文的最佳标题。故选A。 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。 In a joint effort to enhance public awareness about stroke symptoms and timely action, health experts have recently illustrated the critical importance of early recognition and immediate response to stroke signs.

She became emotional as she talked about their journey through his treatment and recovery. After what Mrs. Brown experienced with Rob’s illness, she decided to devote part of her life to helping people in similar situations. She told us about a local organization she was a part of called Be Head Strong, which works to support and comfort families with a member suffering from brain cancer. Mrs. Brown never showed any sadness about the disease. She instead spoke only with words of determination to find a cure. Through her positive spirit she showed us how strong hope could be. My parents taught me from a very young age that making wise choices with my money is important. I would always set aside most of my $2.50-a-week allowance. By the end of the school year, I had saved over one hundred dollars, $131.30 to be exact. One day I was wondering what to do with it. I thought about the stories Mrs. Brown told us. I decided that was where I wanted my money to go. As the last day of school approached, I told my parents about my gift for Mrs. Brown. My mom helped me wrap the heart-shaped box full of dollars and coins. After all the other kids had left on the last day of school, I handed Mrs. Brown the present. As she opened it, I told her that I wanted the money to go to Be Head Strong to help people like Rob. She broke into tears and hugged me tightly. At last, she invited me to Be Head Strong’s annual fundraiser and auction. 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。 The night’s theme was hope and giving and many stories were shared. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ At the end of the night’s auction, people were asked to donate what they could. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Para. 1: The night’s theme was hope and giving and many stories were shared. One of the most inspirational ones was of a young girl named Hannah. She was a six-year-old girl who had suffered from serious brain cancer. I remembered her from the stories Mrs. Brown shared. Mrs. Brown had explained to us that Hannah s cancer was strong, but Hannah always had a positive and happy attitude. I understood then that it was people like Hannah who aroused the hope that fueled organizations like Be Head Strong. Para 2: At the end of the night’s auction, people were asked to donate what they could. I was called on stage. The auctioneer told everyone the story of my gift to Mrs. Brown, the $131.30. At the end he asked, How many of you are willing to do what a fourth grader did and donate $ 131.30? At that point nearly everyone in the room raised their bidding numbers. At that moment I realized that months of allowance had become something bigger than that. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者的老师Brown太太讲了她丈夫Rob从脑癌中康复后，她成立了Be Head Strong组织，支持和安慰患有脑癌的家庭。Brown太太邀请作者参加年度筹款和拍卖会，会上分享了很多故事，作者也捐出了自己所有的零花钱。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“当晚的主题是希望和给予，大家分享了很多故事”可知，第一段可描写拍卖会上的故事以及作者的感悟。 ②由第二段首句内容“在当晚的拍卖结束时，人们被要求捐出他们能捐的东西”可知，第二段可描写作者捐出自己的零花钱，激励了他人。 2.续写线索：分享故事——汉娜的故事——作者感悟——要求捐款——分享作者的捐赠——激励他人 3.词汇激活 行为类 推动：fuel/motivate 捐赠：donate /contribute 意识到：realize / be aware of 情绪类 鼓舞人心：inspirational / inspiring 积极：positive /optimistic 【点睛】[高分句型1] She was a six-year-old girl who had suffered from serious brain cancer.
