第二部分 阅读理解(共两节,满分50分)
第一节 (共15小题; 每小题2.5分, 满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
Top lists are lecturing people on everything from “100 places to visit” to “100 books to read”. Aren’t you just tired of being told what to do with your time? Now you have a list to end all lists!
Take a look at the following two examples from the list of “101 things not to do”.
Swim with Dolphins?
Swimming with dolphins is one of the world’s most profitable tourist activities. However, not every dolphin will welcome having their busy, tiring day interrupted by tourists screaming and pushing around them in the water. Worse yet, when dolphins get too near to the boats loaded with tourists, they could get caught up in ropes and killed by propellers (螺旋桨).
Here’s a little secret. Dolphins look like smiling at you, but actually they’re just opening their mouths.
Go to See the Mona Lisa?
There must be something about the mysterious smile. The 6 million people who visit the lady in the Louvre every year can’t all be wrong, after all. But they can be quite annoying, standing in front of you, holding their cameras to prevent you from seeing anything. In fact, it is hard for you to see the painting clearly because you have to stay away from it for security reasons. After queuing for hours, many tourists can remain in front of the painting only for 15 seconds at most.
If the mysterious lady in the picture knew her fate, she wouldn’t just be smiling. She’d be laughing.
So, still long to see the Mona Lisa? If you want to find out more about the list, read 101 Things NOT to Do Before You Die. Visit www.not2dobeforedie.co.uk and buy the book at a 20% discount.
1. What can we know about swimming with dolphins?
A. It’s the world’s most popular tourist activity.
B. It gives fun to both tourists and dolphins.
C. It can result in danger to dolphins.
D. It will make tourists busy and tired.
2. What does the author think about going to see the Mona Lisa?
A. Fifteen seconds in front of the painting is enough.
B. It is wrong to go and see the mysterious smile.
C. Queuing for hours is worthwhile.
D. It is not satisfying as expected.
3. Why is the passage written?
A. To publicize a book.
B. To introduce a website.
C. To comment on popular lists.
D. To recommend tourist activities.
B
Earlier that day, I’d picked up my car from the garage and drove north out of the city in full confidence. What could go wrong? After a couple of hours, I noticed my battery light was on. I’d seen such lights before. I’d worry tomorrow. Or maybe not.
Gradually, more and more dashboard (仪表盘) lights flashed. I had never seen that many flash at once before in this or any other car. Then my radio cut out and suddenly the headlights too. Finally, the engine died, and I rolled to the shoulder of the road. Luckily, my hazard lights (危险警示灯) worked. Unluckily, I am one of the last people on Earth without a mobile phone. I was waving my arms in the darkness for 20 minutes. No one stopped.
Then a passing pickup truck pulled over! The driver was on his way home from a job interview. When I mentioned that no one else stopped, the young man said, “People just don’t care any more.” He lent me his cellphone and I called for a tow (拖车).
Soon a police car pulled in on the shoulder behind us and an officer got out. He invited me to sit in the back of his vehicle, to stay warm. He told me that two people called in about a man waving at the side of the highway. “They were women and didn’t want to stop,” he explained. “I can’t blame them,” I said. Half an hour later, the tow truck arrived.
I knew that once my wife, my mother and my children heard about my latest misadventure they would talk me into getting a cellphone. After all, what responsible person has no mobile? But I don’t know. I had a lot of good visits with new people. And what about all those folks who called for help on my behalf? And the officer who made sure I stayed warm? And the tow-truck driver who got me home safely? Is there a better way to discover the kindnesses of so many strangers?
4. What can we say about the author from Paragraph 1?
A. He trusted to his luck. B. He had many worries.
C. He escaped from death. D. He made several wrong turns.
5. What help did the young man offer to the author?
A. He gave him a lift. B. He comforted him with words.
C. He let him use his phone. D. He called the police for him.
6. How might the author feel hearing the police officer’s words?
A. Slightly hurt. B. Greatly relieved.
C. Severely worried. D. Deeply touched.
7. What will the author most likely do concerning his family’s advice?
A. Act on it. B. Put it aside.
C. Accept it partly. D. Pass it onto other drivers.
C
That artificial food dyes are unhealthy is not news. Some of the most common additives used to give color to everything are known to affect some children’s ability to learn. But regulatory (管理的) agencies around the world don’t necessarily agree. That may soon change, thanks in part to increasing consumer pressure. In addition, a report prepared by the state of California’s Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) concluded that synthetic food dyes “cause or worsen neurobehavioral problems in some children”.
In response to the report, California is now thinking about requiring warning labels on food products containing the seven most commonly used synthetic dyes. Among them are Red 40, Yellow 5 and Yellow 6, which account for more than 90% of food dye. Restaurants in California would also have to identify menu items containing the additives.
“The science is clear,” says Lisa Lefferts, an environmental health consultant. “These synthetic dyes harm children and are completely unnecessary.”
What makes the OEHHA report a game changer is that a regulatory agency is on the same page as scientists and advocacy (拥护) groups. “That’s largely because of the quality of the report,” says Lefferts, one of 10 original signatories to the petition.
Synthetic dyes are used in foods for one reason: to make products look prettier. Someone likens the practice to“putting cosmetics on food”. Bright colors and fun shapes make candies and cereals appealing, especially to kids.
As more research has emerged, consumer pressure has led companies to reformulate products. In 2016, the company began using turmeric, annatto and paprika instead of Yellow 5 and Yellow 6.
Around the same time, Chipotle, NestlUSA and a number of other restaurants and manufacturers announced plans to cut back on or stop using synthetic dyes.
8. What can we learn from the first paragraph?
A. All the regulatory agencies is against the food dyes.
B. The use of artificial food dyes are obviously increasing.
C. Consumers’ pressure reduces the use of artificial food dyes.
D. The agencies don’t know why food dyes are still a problem.
9. Why does OEHHA have power to change the use of artificial food dyes?
A. OEHHA is an organization determining the ingredients in food.
B. OEHHA prepared an excellent report to state the use of food dyes.
C. The government in California support OEHHA to change this situation.
D. The excellent report put scientist and advocacy groups stand with OEHHA.
10. Which word can replace the underlined word “reformulate”?
A. Restructure. B. Register. C. Reflect. D. Rebuild.
11. What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. Some scientists don’t agree on using food dyes.
B. The use of artificial food dyes may soon change.
C. OEHA prepared a report to avoid using food dyes.
D. OEHHA cleared the reason why food dyes are used.
D
Wrapping paper — that thing that makes our holiday gifts look so festive — has a landfill problem. If it’s shiny, metallic, or glitter-encrusted, it’s not recyclable. And even recycled paper isn’t guaranteed to actually get recycled. But there’s an alternative, eco-friendlier option that some are turning to this holiday season: the Japanese art of wrapping packages in cloth, known as furoshiki.
Furoshiki refers to both the square cloth itself and the wrapping technique. The practice dates back hundreds of years, when people started using cloth bundles to carry items to and from public baths. Eventually, it evolved into a wrapping art form. People don’t just wrap presents with the cloth, but an endless number of small items like boxes, fruit, and books. When it was used to wrap gifts, Tsukada Simonian says traditionally, the furoshiki cloth would be returned to the gift giver to be used again and again.
The tradition went out of fashion as paper and plastic substitutes took off in the post World War I period. It’s something “you would see at grandma’s house”, says Tomoko Dyen, who teaches furoshiki wrapping technique in Los Angeles.
But recently, she says, it’s been regaining popularity. As more tourists have learned about it while visiting Japan, Dyen says it’s encouraged the next generation to “learn more about ourselves”.
Furoshiki doesn’t necessarily require specific furoshiki cloth, says van der Steur. She stocks the museum store with imported Japanese furoshiki cloth including patterns with flowers, cats, and otters, but she says any piece of fabric, even old clothes, can work.
Some of the learners showed up specifically hoping to learn furoshiki for holiday wrapping. But some say they walked away hoping to use it for much more. Kristan Delatori attended with the plan to wrap her holiday gifts this way — but now she says she’ ll bring furoshiki with her when she runs quick errands. “Being able to put a couple of these into my bag and always having something when I go to the grocery store or go shopping,” says Delatori. “I’m really excited.”
12. What can we learn about furoshiki from the first two paragraphs?
A. It looks more festive than common wrapping paper.
B. It was sent as a part of the gift to the receivers for use.
C. It refers to the square cloth only used to wrap presents.
D. It was first used to carry items when people took baths.
13. What makes the revival of furoshiki in recent years?
A. The effort of the last generation.
B. The attention from more visitors.
C. The unique charm of furoshiki itself.
D. The support of the local government.
14. Which word best describes Kristan Delatori’s attitude to furoshiki?
A. Skeptical. B. Conservative. C. Favorable. D. Unclear.
15. What is the best title of the text?
A. The Square Cloth: The Very Thing Bearing the Lost Memory
B. Wrapping Paper: A Recyclable Material Regaining Popularity
C. Furoshiki: An Eco-Friendier Choice for Holiday Wrapping
D. Japan: An Asian Nation with Various Traditional Art Forms

The Real Champion
I like running and for me, success was winning every race I participated in. My classmates called me Incredible Dash. One day, there was a sporting event planned in my school. Well-prepared for the running competition, I took part in almost every race there was. A large number of people gathered to watch. Crowds were eager to see the running race because it was the most exciting event. When the race for 400m started, all the boys ran fast. Unsurprisingly, I finished first in the race and received a big round of applause. While it was tiring, I felt proud and was on top of my world.
In the race for 200m, I ran full speed and finished the race first once again. The crowd gave thundering claps to me. I jumped all over the ground and was not bothered to give handshakes to my fellow racers.
Then came the race for 100m. Discouraged by the previous races, most boys quit the race except one, a boy named Matt who was invited as an honorary runner. Matt was born with low vision but he was a determined participant of many sports. The judge came to Matt and explained the situation, asking whether he would like to quit too. I, wild with joy, thought I would win the champion without effort. However, to everyone’s surprise, Matt decided to complete the event. I sniffed (嗤之以鼻), “It is a waste of time. I bet he even doesn’t figure out where the finish line is.”
The race of two started. On hearing the starting gun both Matt and I ran to the finish line, Soon I sped up and left Matt behind. Just 30 meters before arriving at the finish line, I was expecting to receive the applause for the third time when I suffered a leg spasm (抽筋).

Earlier that day, I’d picked up my car from the garage and drove north out of the city in full confidence. What could go wrong? After a couple of hours, I noticed my battery light was on. I’d seen such lights before. I’d worry tomorrow. Or maybe not.
Gradually, more and more dashboard (仪表盘) lights flashed. I had never seen that many flash at once before in this or any other car. Then my radio cut out and suddenly the headlights too. Finally, the engine died, and I rolled to the shoulder of the road. Luckily, my hazard lights (危险警示灯) worked. Unluckily, I am one of the last people on Earth without a mobile phone. I was waving my arms in the darkness for 20 minutes. No one stopped.
Then a passing pickup truck pulled over! The driver was on his way home from a job interview. When I mentioned that no one else stopped, the young man said, “People just don’t care any more.” He lent me his cellphone and I called for a tow (拖车).
Soon a police car pulled in on the shoulder behind us and an officer got out. He invited me to sit in the back of his vehicle, to stay warm. He told me that two people called in about a man waving at the side of the highway. “They were women and didn’t want to stop,” he explained. “I can’t blame them,” I said. Half an hour later, the tow truck arrived.
I knew that once my wife, my mother and my children heard about my latest misadventure they would talk me into getting a cellphone. After all, what responsible person has no mobile? But I don’t know. I had a lot of good visits with new people. And what about all those folks who called for help on my behalf? And the officer who made sure I stayed warm? And the tow-truck driver who got me home safely? Is there a better way to discover the kindnesses of so many strangers?
4. What can we say about the author from Paragraph 1?
A. He trusted to his luck. B. He had many worries.
C. He escaped from death. D. He made several wrong turns.
5. What help did the young man offer to the author?
A. He gave him a lift. B. He comforted him with words.
C. He let him use his phone. D. He called the police for him.
6. How might the author feel hearing the police officer’s words?
A. Slightly hurt. B. Greatly relieved.
C. Severely worried. D. Deeply touched.
7. What will the author most likely do concerning his family’s advice?
A. Act on it. B. Put it aside.
C. Accept it partly. D. Pass it onto other drivers.

【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“I knew that once my wife, my mother and my children heard about my latest misadventure they would talk me into getting a cellphone. After all, what responsible person has no mobile? But I don’t know. I had a lot of good visits with new people. And what about all those folks who called for help on my behalf? And the officer who made sure I stayed warm? And the tow-truck driver who got me home safely? Is there a better way to discover the kindnesses of so many strangers?(我知道,一旦我的妻子、母亲和孩子们听说了我最近的不幸遭遇,他们会说服我买一部手机。毕竟,哪个负责任的人没有手机?但我不知道。我和新认识的人有很多愉快的接触。那那些为我寻求帮助的人呢?那确保我保暖的警官呢?那个把我安全送回家的拖车司机呢?还有更好的方法来发现这么多陌生人的善意吗?)”可知,因为作者没有带手机,作者发现了这些陌生人的善良和帮助。由此推知,作者可能会不采纳家人的建议。故选B。

That artificial food dyes are unhealthy is not news. Some of the most common additives used to give color to everything are known to affect some children’s ability to learn. But regulatory (管理的) agencies around the world don’t necessarily agree. That may soon change, thanks in part to increasing consumer pressure. In addition, a report prepared by the state of California’s Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) concluded that synthetic food dyes “cause or worsen neurobehavioral problems in some children”.
In response to the report, California is now thinking about requiring warning labels on food products containing the seven most commonly used synthetic dyes. Among them are Red 40, Yellow 5 and Yellow 6, which account for more than 90% of food dye. Restaurants in California would also have to identify menu items containing the additives.
“The science is clear,” says Lisa Lefferts, an environmental health consultant. “These synthetic dyes harm children and are completely unnecessary.”
What makes the OEHHA report a game changer is that a regulatory agency is on the same page as scientists and advocacy (拥护) groups. “That’s largely because of the quality of the report,” says Lefferts, one of 10 original signatories to the petition.
Synthetic dyes are used in foods for one reason: to make products look prettier. Someone likens the practice to“putting cosmetics on food”. Bright colors and fun shapes make candies and cereals appealing, especially to kids.
As more research has emerged, consumer pressure has led companies to reformulate products. In 2016, the company began using turmeric, annatto and paprika instead of Yellow 5 and Yellow 6.
Around the same time, Chipotle, NestlUSA and a number of other restaurants and manufacturers announced plans to cut back on or stop using synthetic dyes.
8. What can we learn from the first paragraph?
A. All the regulatory agencies is against the food dyes.
B. The use of artificial food dyes are obviously increasing.
C. Consumers’ pressure reduces the use of artificial food dyes.
D. The agencies don’t know why food dyes are still a problem.
9. Why does OEHHA have power to change the use of artificial food dyes?
A. OEHHA is an organization determining the ingredients in food.
B. OEHHA prepared an excellent report to state the use of food dyes.
C. The government in California support OEHHA to change this situation.
D. The excellent report put scientist and advocacy groups stand with OEHHA.
10. Which word can replace the underlined word “reformulate”?
A. Restructure. B. Register. C. Reflect. D. Rebuild.
11. What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. Some scientists don’t agree on using food dyes.
B. The use of artificial food dyes may soon change.
C. OEHA prepared a report to avoid using food dyes.
D. OEHHA cleared the reason why food dyes are used.
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. A 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道,主要讲的是人造食品染料对健康的潜在危害,以及消费者压力和科学研究如何推动行业变革。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“That artificial food dyes are unhealthy is not news. Some of the most common additives used to give color to everything are known to affect some children’s ability to learn.(人造食品色素不健康并不是新闻。一些最常见的添加剂被用来给所有的东西上色,众所周知,它们会影响一些孩子的学习能力。)”可知,从第一段我们能了解到人工食用染料的使用正在明显增加。需要注意易混项C项,时态不正确,通过第一段可知,消费者的压力将来可能会减少人工食用色素的使用,但是不是当下。故选B。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“What makes the OEHHA report a game changer is that a regulatory agency is on the same page as scientists and advocacy (拥护) groups. “That’s largely because of the quality of the report,” says Lefferts, one of 10 original signatories to the petition.(使OEHHA报告改变游戏规则的是,监管机构与科学家和倡导团体站在同一战线上。“这在很大程度上是因为报告的质量,”Lefferts说,他是请愿书的10个原始签署人之一。)”可知,OEHHA有力量改变人工食用色素的使用是因为这份出色的报告让科学家和倡导团体站在OEHHA的一边。故选D。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据倒数第二段“In 2016, the company began using turmeric, annatto and paprika instead of Yellow 5 and Yellow 6.(2016年,该公司开始使用姜黄、红木和红辣椒代替黄5和黄6。)”可知,划线词所在句子表示“随着越来越多的研究浮出水面,消费者的压力促使企业重新配制产品”,划线词的意思是“调整,改变”,和restructure意思相近。故选A。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第一段“That may soon change, thanks in part to increasing consumer pressure. In addition, a report prepared by the state of California’s Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) concluded that synthetic food dyes“cause or worsen neurobehavioral problems in some children”.(这种情况可能很快就会改变,部分原因是日益增长的消费者压力。此外,加利福尼亚州环境健康危害评估办公室(OEHHA)编写的一份报告得出结论,合成食品色素“会导致或加重一些儿童的神经行为问题”。)”可知,本文主要讲的是人造食品染料对健康的潜在危害,以及消费者压力和科学研究如何推动行业变革,因此主旨是B选项“The use of artificial food dye s may soon change.(人工食用色素的使用可能很快就会改变)”。故选B。
D
Wrapping paper — that thing that makes our holiday gifts look so festive — has a landfill problem. If it’s shiny, metallic, or glitter-encrusted, it’s not recyclable. And even recycled paper isn’t guaranteed to actually get recycled. But there’s an alternative, eco-friendlier option that some are turning to this holiday season: the Japanese art of wrapping packages in cloth, known as furoshiki.
Furoshiki refers to both the square cloth itself and the wrapping technique. The practice dates back hundreds of years, when people started using cloth bundles to carry items to and from public baths. Eventually, it evolved into a wrapping art form. People don’t just wrap presents with the cloth, but an endless number of small items like boxes, fruit, and books. When it was used to wrap gifts, Tsukada Simonian says traditionally, the furoshiki cloth would be returned to the gift giver to be used again and again.
The tradition went out of fashion as paper and plastic substitutes took off in the post World War I period. It’s something “you would see at grandma’s house”, says Tomoko Dyen, who teaches furoshiki wrapping technique in Los Angeles.
But recently, she says, it’s been regaining popularity. As more tourists have learned about it while visiting Japan, Dyen says it’s encouraged the next generation to “learn more about ourselves”.
Furoshiki doesn’t necessarily require specific furoshiki cloth, says van der Steur. She stocks the museum store with imported Japanese furoshiki cloth including patterns with flowers, cats, and otters, but she says any piece of fabric, even old clothes, can work.
Some of the learners showed up specifically hoping to learn furoshiki for holiday wrapping. But some say they walked away hoping to use it for much more. Kristan Delatori attended with the plan to wrap her holiday gifts this way — but now she says she’ ll bring furoshiki with her when she runs quick errands. “Being able to put a couple of these into my bag and always having something when I go to the grocery store or go shopping,” says Delatori. “I’m really excited.”
12. What can we learn about furoshiki from the first two paragraphs?
A. It looks more festive than common wrapping paper.
B. It was sent as a part of the gift to the receivers for use.
C. It refers to the square cloth only used to wrap presents.
D. It was first used to carry items when people took baths.
13. What makes the revival of furoshiki in recent years?
A. The effort of the last generation.
B. The attention from more visitors.
C. The unique charm of furoshiki itself.
D. The support of the local government.
14. Which word best describes Kristan Delatori’s attitude to furoshiki?
A. Skeptical. B. Conservative. C. Favorable. D. Unclear.
15. What is the best title of the text?
A. The Square Cloth: The Very Thing Bearing the Lost Memory
B. Wrapping Paper: A Recyclable Material Regaining Popularity
C. Furoshiki: An Eco-Friendier Choice for Holiday Wrapping
D. Japan: An Asian Nation with Various Traditional Art Forms
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了更环保的布包装艺术。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Furoshiki refers to both the square cloth itself and the wrapping technique. The practice dates back hundreds of years, when people started using cloth bundles to carry items to and from public baths. (furoshiki指的是方形布料本身和包裹技术。这种做法可以追溯到几百年前,当时人们开始用布包携带物品进出公共浴室。)”可知,它最初是人们洗澡时用来携带物品的。故选D。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“But recently, she says, it’s been regaining popularity. As more tourists have learned about it while visiting Japan, Dyen says it’s encouraged the next generation to “learn more about ourselves”. (但最近,她说,它又开始流行起来。随着越来越多的游客在访问日本时了解到它,Dyen说这鼓励了下一代“更多地了解我们自己”。)”可知,近年来,越来越多的游客的关注使得furoshiki得到复兴。故选B。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段““Being able to put a couple of these into my bag and always having something when I go to the grocery store or go shopping,” says Delatori. “I’m really excited.” (我可以在包里放几个这样的东西,当我去杂货店或去购物的时候,我总是有一些东西,德拉托里说。我真的很兴奋。)”可知,Kristan Delatori对furroshiki的态度是赞成的。故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“But there’s an alternative, eco-friendlier option that some are turning to this holiday season: the Japanese art of wrapping packages in cloth, known as furoshiki. (但在这个假期,有些人选择了另一种更环保的选择:日本的布包装艺术,被称为furoshiki。)”及全文内容可知,本文主要介绍了更环保的布包装艺术。故选C。

Machine Learning - today and tomorrow
Thanks to their work from the 1980s and onward, John Hopfield and Geoffrey Hinton have helped lay the foundation for the machine learning revolution that ____36____ (start) around 2010.
____37____development we are witnessing now has been made possible through access to the vast amounts of data that can be used to train networks, ____38____ through the enormous increase in computing power. ____39____(today) artificial neural (神经的) networks are often enormous and constructed from many layers. These are called deep neural networks and the way they are trained ____40____ (call) deep learning.
A quick glance at Hopfield’s article ____41____ associative memory, from 1982, provides some perspective on this development. In it, he used a network with 30 nodes (节点). If all the nodes are connected to each other, there ____42____ (be) 435 connections. The nodes have their values, the connections have different strengths and, in total, there are ____43____ (few) than 500 parameters to keep track of. He also tried a network with 100 nodes, but this was too complicated, ____44____ (consider) the computer he was using at the time. We can compare this to the large language ____45____(model) of today, which are built as networks that can contain over one trillion parameters.

【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲的是机器学习的发展历程和现状,特别是强调了John Hopfield和Geoffrey Hinton等人在机器学习领域的基础性工作,以及近年来由于数据量的剧增和计算能力的提升所带来的机器学习革命。
【36题详解】
考查时态。句意:John Hopfield和Geoffrey Hinton从20世纪80年代起就在努力工作,为2010年左右开始的机器学习革命奠定了基础。由around 2010可知,句子时态是一般过去时,空格处用过去式,故填started。
【37题详解】
考查定冠词。句意:我们现在目睹的发展是通过获取可用于训练网络的大量数据以及通过计算能力的巨大增长而成为可能的。空格处用定冠词特指我们现在目睹的发展,位于句首的单词首字母大写,故填The。
【38题详解】
考查连词。句意:我们现在目睹的发展是通过获取可用于训练网络的大量数据以及通过计算能力的巨大增长而成为可能的。“through access to the vast amounts of data that can be used to train networks”和“through the enormous increase in computing power”之间是并列关系,句子是肯定句,因此空格处用and表并列,故填and。
【39题详解】
考查名词所有格。句意:今天的人工神经网络通常是巨大的,由许多层组成。根据语境可知,句子表示“今天的人工神经网络通常是巨大的,由许多层组成”,空格处意为“今天的”,用名词所有格today’s,位于句首的单词首字母大写,故填Today’s。
【40题详解】
考查时态,语态和主谓一致。句意:这些被称为深度神经网络,它们的训练方式被称为深度学习。它们的训练方式被称为深度学习。句子用被动语态,且句子描述客观事实,时态用一般现在时,因此空格处是一般现在时的被动语态,主语the way they are trained是单数,因此空格处是is called。故填is called。
【41题详解】
考查介词。句意:快速浏览一下Hopfield在1982年发表的关于联想记忆的文章,可以为这一发展提供一些视角。此处表示关于联想记忆的文章,空格处意为“关于”,用介词on,故填on。
【42题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意:如果所有节点相互连接,则连接数为435。句子描述客观事实,时态用一般现在时,主语435 connections是复数,因此空格处用are,故填are。
【43题详解】
考查比较级。句意:节点有自己的值,连接有不同的强度,总共只有不到500个参数需要跟踪。由than可知,空格处用比较级fewer,故填fewer。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:他还尝试了一个有100个节点的网络,但考虑到他当时使用的计算机,这太复杂了。句中谓语是was,空格处用非谓语动词,此处表示“考虑到”,要用现在分词considering作状语,故填considering。
【45题详解】
考查名词的复数。句意:我们可以将其与今天的大型语言模型进行比较,后者是作为包含超过一万亿参数的网络构建的。model是可数名词,不止一个,因此空格处用复数,故填models。

The Real Champion
I like running and for me, success was winning every race I participated in. My classmates called me Incredible Dash. One day, there was a sporting event planned in my school. Well-prepared for the running competition, I took part in almost every race there was. A large number of people gathered to watch. Crowds were eager to see the running race because it was the most exciting event. When the race for 400m started, all the boys ran fast. Unsurprisingly, I finished first in the race and received a big round of applause. While it was tiring, I felt proud and was on top of my world.
In the race for 200m, I ran full speed and finished the race first once again. The crowd gave thundering claps to me. I jumped all over the ground and was not bothered to give handshakes to my fellow racers.
Then came the race for 100m. Discouraged by the previous races, most boys quit the race except one, a boy named Matt who was invited as an honorary runner. Matt was born with low vision but he was a determined participant of many sports. The judge came to Matt and explained the situation, asking whether he would like to quit too. I, wild with joy, thought I would win the champion without effort. However, to everyone’s surprise, Matt decided to complete the event. I sniffed (嗤之以鼻), “It is a waste of time. I bet he even doesn’t figure out where the finish line is.”
The race of two started. On hearing the starting gun, both Matt and I ran to the finish line, Soon I sped up and left Matt behind. Just 30 meters before arriving at the finish line, I was expecting to receive the applause for the third time when I suffered a leg spasm (抽筋).
注意: 1. 续写词数应为150个左右;

Arm by arm, we walked towards the finish line.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】I fell hard to the ground. At this moment I felt sad and ashamed that I couldn’t finish the race. I lay on the ground, unwilling to face the fact and the crowds. I imagined the sneering faces and don’t know how to react. Suddenly a hand reached out to me. I raised my head and found it’s Matt. “Let’s run together.” he said. There was just sincerity on his face, no mock. I believed I should trust him, and gave him my hand.
Arm by arm, we walked towards the finish line. The crowds fell into silence,and then broke into loud applause. What did they applaud for? I think I know. Bowing to Matt, I thanked Matt for his help and admitted he was the champion. “No, I participate in the race not for the champion, just for the participation. You are very excellent.” he said. I was surprised at first, and then realized that the full engagement and good faith deserved the real champion.
