B
Just as the shiny brochure promised, from the moment I set foot on the Harvard campus last fall, I was exposed to an exciting and enlightening new world.
I was born and raised 1,500 miles away, in a small apartment in Jackson, Mississippi. I am an only child, so my mother overpowered me with her love. For someone who sees so much beauty in the world, she worked awfully hard to protect me from it. Television, rap music, and even basketball with the kids on the block were beyond consideration. It left me a bit bitter as a teenager, but I grew to appreciate her enormous sacrifices (牺牲) — walking me to the library every afternoon, laboring at multiple jobs to keep food on the table, and telling me stories late into the night.
When I announced the summer before my senior year of high school that I had decided to apply to a school in New England, I noticed her hesitant look before a warm smile enveloped her face. I pretended not to see, but I was never able to forget it. I tried to explain my reasons for wanting to leave — to prove I was smart enough, fear of taking the path of least resistance, the classic teenage feeling of being trapped but the words just made me sound shallow and ungrateful.
Nevertheless, I began to work on the college applications — an early one for Harvard and roughly a dozen others standing by. I knew the chance of getting into Harvard was not in my favor. To my joy, I was notified of my acceptance into Harvard three days before my birthday. That night, after all of the celebratory texts and hugs, I sat in my room and began to cry uncontrollably.
Over the course of this year, I have changed in ways I never anticipated. I think I know now why my mother let me go. Harvard has forced me to grow and take a fair look at the world, and at myself. Needless to say, I would not trade the experience for anything.
4. What made the young author upset?
A. Living in a small apartment. B. Being forced to go to the library.
C. Seeing his mother take multiple jobs. D. Being unable to grow as he wished.
5. What was the mother’s first response to the author’s decision?
A. She was worried about it. B. She laughed at it.
C. She approved of it immediately. D. She turned a deaf ear to it.
6. What did the author say about his admission to Harvard?
A. It deserved a big celebration. B. It served as a belated birthday present.
C. It was beyond his expectations. D. It was a favor he owed his mother.
7. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Lifelong Learning in Harvard B. Reflections on the Road to Harvard
C. What Harvard Means to My Mother and Me D. How Harvard Shapes My Teenage Years
【答案】4. D 5. A 6. C 7. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述的是作者回忆自己从小到大一路走来,终于进入哈佛大学的人生历程。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“For someone who sees so much beauty in the world, she worked awfully hard to protect me from it. Television, rap music, and even basketball with the kids on the block were beyond consideration. It left me a bit bitter as a teenager, but I grew to appreciate her enormous sacrifices (牺牲) — walking me to the library every afternoon, laboring at multiple jobs to keep food on the table, and telling me stories late into the night.(作为一个看到世界上如此多美好的人,她非常努力地保护我不受它的伤害。电视,说唱音乐,甚至和孩子们一起打篮球都不在考虑范围之内。这件事让十几岁的我感到有些痛苦,但我逐渐欣赏她做出的巨大牺牲——每天下午陪我去图书馆,做多份工作养家糊口,给我讲故事到深夜。)”可知,作者之所以感到痛苦是因为他没有像他的同龄人一样看电视、玩音乐、打篮球等。故选D。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“When I announced the summer before my senior year of high school that I had decided to apply to a school in New England, I noticed her hesitant look before a warm smile enveloped her face.(当我在高中最后一年的那个夏天宣布我决定申请新英格兰的一所学校时,我注意到她犹豫的表情,然后脸上露出了温暖的微笑。)”可知,当作者的母亲听到作者的决定时,最先的反应是担忧。故选A。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“Nevertheless, I began to work on the college applications — an early one for Harvard and roughly a dozen others standing by. I knew the chance of getting into Harvard was not in my favor. To my joy, I was notified of my acceptance into Harvard three days before my birthday. That night, after all of the celebratory texts and hugs, I sat in my room and began to cry uncontrollably.(尽管如此,我还是开始着手申请大学——一份哈佛大学的早期申请,还有大约十几所大学在准备申请。我知道进入哈佛的几率不大。令我高兴的是,在我生日的前三天,我收到了被哈佛录取的通知。那天晚上,在收到所有庆祝短信和拥抱之后,我坐在自己的房间里,无法控制地哭了起来。)”可判断,作者一直觉得自己不太可能被哈佛大学录取,也就是说被哈佛大学录取超出了他的期望。故选C。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Just as the shiny brochure promised, from the moment I set foot on the Harvard campus last fall, I was exposed to an exciting and enlightening new world.(正如那本闪亮的宣传册所承诺的那样,从去年秋天我踏上哈佛校园的那一刻起,我就置身于一个令人兴奋和启蒙性的新世界。)”以及文章最后一段“Over the course of this year, I have changed in ways I never anticipated. I think I know now why my mother let me go. Harvard has forced me to grow and take a fair look at the world, and at myself. Needless to say, I would not trade the experience for anything.(在这一年里,我发生了意想不到的变化。我想我现在知道妈妈为什么让我走了。哈佛迫使我成长,让我公平地看待世界和自己。不用说,我不会拿这段经历换任何东西。)”再结合文章主要内容可知,文章主要讲述了作者回忆了自己一路努力终于被哈佛大学录取的历程。所以“Reflections on the Road to Harvard(通往哈佛之路的思考)”作为文章标题最为合适。故选B。
C
Boys grow up to be engineers and computer scientists. Girls become nurses and teachers. That seems like an out-of-date notion (观念) in a world where many students are encouraged to explore a wide range of careers. But the stereotypes (僵化思想) continue.
Aptitude tests, which seek to measure students’ potential in a particular field, may be one way to help students decide their career paths.
To understand how these tools may lead a particular student toward a field they may not have considered — or even heard of — researchers at the University of Missouri conducted an independent review. The study compared 7,222 high school students’ natural aptitudes with their self-reported interests in four areas: manufacturing (制造业), computer technology, construction, and healthcare. For healthcare, the study looked at both a student’s capacity and interest in direct patient care jobs and more technical jobs in the healthcare industry. The study included 3,619 females and 3,603 males.
“If you just look at people’s interest scores, they fall into areas which I call what they are exposed to, what they can see based on their life experiences. Many young people are exposed to very little,” said Richard Feller, a professor at Colorado State University who worked on the study. Students’ different life experiences create an exposure gap, he said, that aptitude tests can help bridge.
The study found that more than four times as many girls were found to have potential in manufacturing, more than seven times more in construction and technical healthcare fields, and two times more in computer technology than an interest list alone would show. What’s more, males were more than 1.6 times more likely to show promise in patient care positions.
“It opens up all kinds of opportunities for students who have been less fortunate and have been stereotyped,” Feller said. “We’ve got great potential that we’re not tapping into.”
8. What does the author think about the career prejudice mentioned in Para. 1?
A. It is deeply rooted in some truth.
B. It is encouraged by a majority of people.
C. It still affects students’ choices of career.
D. It stops the popularity of a wide range of careers.
9. Why did researchers at the University of Missouri conduct the study?
A. To improve students’ career ability. B. To assess the reliability of aptitude tests.
C. To have a deep insight of students’ interests. D. To understand the function of aptitude tests.
10. What does the underlined phrase “an exposure gap” in Para. 4 refer to?
A. A low score in the interest test. B. A decreased relation to society.
C. A huge difference among students. D. A lack of understanding of diverse careers.
11. What does Feller suggest in the last paragraph?
A. Aptitude tests are beneficial. B. The future plan must be examined first.
C. Studies need more participants. D. A narrower interest list would be better.
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. D 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了关于学生职业倾向和潜能测试的研究,旨在说明通过潜能测试可以帮助学生发现他们可能未曾考虑或甚至未曾听说过的职业领域,并指出学生的不同生活经历会造成认知差距,而潜能测试有助于弥补这一差距。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Boys grow up to be engineers and computer scientists. Girls become nurses and teachers. That seems like an out-of-date notion in a world where many students are encouraged to explore a wide range of careers. But the stereotypes continue.(男孩长大后成为工程师和计算机科学家,女孩则成为护士和教师。在如今这个鼓励众多学生探索广泛职业领域的世界里,这种观念似乎已经过时。然而,这些刻板印象依然存在。)”可知,职业偏见依然存在,也就意味着它仍在影响学生的职业选择。故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“To understand how these tools may lead a particular student toward a field they may not have considered—or even heard of—researchers at the University of Missouri conducted an independent review. (为了了解这些测试工具如何引导学生进入他们可能从未考虑过甚至从未听说过的领域,密苏里大学的研究人员进行了一项独立评估。)”可知,密苏里大学的研究人员进行这项研究是为了了解能力倾向测试工具如何引导学生进入他们可能从未考虑过甚至从未听说过的领域,即了解能力倾向测试的作用。故选D。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线短语上文““If you just look at people’s interest scores, they fall into areas which I call what they are exposed to, what they can see based on their life experiences. Many young people are exposed to very little,” said Richard Feller, a professor at Colorado State University who worked on the study. (“如果你只看人们的兴趣得分,就会发现他们倾向于那些我称之为基于自身生活经历所接触到、所能看到的领域。很多年轻人接触的东西非常有限,” 科罗拉多州立大学参与此项研究的教授Richard Feller说道。)”可推测,很多年轻人接触的东西有限,所以“exposure gap”指的是对不同职业缺乏了解。故选D。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段““It opens up all kinds of opportunities for students who have been less fortunate and have been stereotyped,” Feller said. “We’ve got great potential that we’re not tapping into.” (“这为那些不太幸运且一直被刻板印象束缚的学生开辟了各种机会,” Feller说,“我们有着巨大的潜力尚未挖掘。”)”可知,Feller提到能力倾向测试为那些被刻板印象束缚的学生开辟了各种机会,挖掘了未被开发的潜力,这表明他认为能力倾向测试是有益的。故选A。
D
AI software can already identify people by their voices or handwriting. Now, an AI has shown it can label people based on their chess-playing behavior, an advance in the field of “stylometrics” that could help computers be better chess teachers or more humanlike in their game play. Alarmingly, the system could also be used to help identify and track people who think their online behavior is anonymous (匿名的).
Chess-playing software, such as Deep Blue and Alpha Zero, has long been superhuman. But Ashton Anderson, a computer scientist at the University of Toronto, says the chess engines play almost an“alien (外星人的) style” that isn’t very instructive for those seeking to learn or improve their skills. They’d do better to tailor their advice to individual players. But first they’d need to acquire a player’s unique form.
To design and train their AI, the researchers collected more than 50 million human games and fed them into a network. The researchers tested the system by seeing how well it distinguished one player from another. They gave the system 100 games from each of about 3,000 known players, and 100 fresh games from an unknown player. The system looked for the best match and identified the unknown player 86% of the time, the researchers reported last month at the Conference on Neural Information Processing Systems (NeurIPS). “We didn’t quite believe the results,” says Reid Mcllroy Young, a student in Anderson’s lab and the paper’s primary author. A non-AI method was only 28% accurate.
“The work is really cool,” says Noam Brown, a research scientist at Meta. “Style-aware AI could transform other computer interactions.”
The researchers are aware of the privacy risks posed by the system, which could be used to expose anonymous chess players online. And in theory, they say, given the right data sets, such systems could identify people based on the habits of their driving or the timing and location of their cellphone use.
NeurIPS organizers found the study technically impressive but ethically (道德上) questionable, and accepted it on condition that the researchers detail the privacy risks. Anderson says they’ve decided, for now, not to release the software.
12. What advance in AI technology is described?
A. Tracking people’s unacceptable behavior.
B. Identifying different people’s handwriting.
C. Behaving like humans when playing chess.
D. Recognizing different human chess players.
13. Why does Anderson describe chess engines’ style as alien?
A. They have exceptional but unhelpful ability.
B. They outdo individual players in skill learning.
C. They instruct players in an extremely distinctive style.
D. They are outstanding in acquiring a player’s unique form.
14. What does Para. 3 mainly talk about concerning the new AI system?
A. Its primary aim. B. Its development process.
C. Its wide application. D. Its significance to players.
15. What is NeurIPS organizers’ attitude towards the style-aware AI?
A. Careful. B. Favorable. C. Uninterested. D. Disappointed.
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. B 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了AI技术的新进展,能够通过棋风识别不同的人类国际象棋选手,并探讨了该技术的潜在应用与隐私风险。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Now, an AI has shown it can label people based on their chess-playing behavior, an advance in the field of “stylometrics” that could help computers be better chess teachers or more humanlike in their game play. (如今,一项人工智能研究表明,它还能根据人们的下棋行为对人们进行标签分类,这是“风格测定学”领域的一项进步,有助于计算机成为更优秀的国际象棋教师或在游戏中表现得更加人性化。)”可知,人工智能的进步是它可以识别不同的人类棋手。故选D。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“But Ashton Anderson, a computer scientist at the University of Toronto, says the chess engines play almost an“alien (外星人的) style” that isn’t very instructive for those seeking to learn or improve their skills. (但多伦多大学的计算机科学家Ashton Anderson表示,国际象棋引擎几乎是一种“外星风格”,对于那些寻求学习或提高技能的人来说,这并不是很有指导意义。)”可知,Anderson将国际象棋引擎描述为“外星人风格”是因为它们虽然有非凡的能力,但是对那些寻求学习或提高技能的人来说没有多大指导意义。故选A。
【14题详解】
主旨大意题。通读第三段,尤其是由第三段中“To design and train their AI, the researchers collected more than 50 million human games and fed them into a network. The researchers tested the system by seeing how well it distinguished one player from another. They gave the system 100 games from each of about 3,000 known players, and 100 fresh games from an unknown player. The system looked for the best match and identified the unknown player 86% of the time, the researchers reported last month at the Conference on Neural Information Processing Systems (NeurIPS). (为了设计和训练他们的人工智能,研究人员收集了超过5000万场人类棋局,并将这些数据输入网络。研究人员通过测试该系统区分不同玩家的能力来检验其效果。他们给系统提供了大约3000名已知玩家的各100场比赛,以及一名未知玩家的100场新比赛。研究人员在上个月的神经信息处理系统大会(NeurIPS)上报告称,该系统寻找最佳匹配,并在86%的时间里成功识别出了未知玩家。)”可知,本段主要讲述了新人工智能系统的研发过程。故选B。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“NeurIPS organizers found the study technically impressive but ethically (道德上) questionable, and accepted it on condition that the researchers detail the privacy risks. Anderson says they’ve decided, for now, not to release the software. (NeuriPS的组织者认为这项研究在技术上令人印象深刻,但在道德上有问题,并在研究人员详细说明隐私风险的条件下接受了这项研究。Anderson说,他们已经决定暂时不发布这款软件。)”可知,NeuriPS的组织者对于能够感知风格的人工智能持小心谨慎态度。故选A。

第四部分 写作(共一节 满分25分)
86. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。
When I was young, I always dreamed of playing the piano and giving performances to a large audience in a concert hall. However, I struggled to understand the musical notes and the theory. Despite my parents’ encouragement and offer of piano lessons, I pretended not to be interested, too afraid to try.
Many years passed until one day, at 25 years old, I heard that a new piano studio had opened in my neighborhood. The teacher was recruiting (招收) new students. My childhood dream came flooding back.
I remembered I had initially feared becoming a teacher after graduation. However, I overcame those doubts. I refused to let fear hold me back any longer, so I walked into the studio.
The teacher, Deb, welcomed me warmly. I was relieved to find we were contemporaries (同时代的人) and expressed my desire to play the works of Bach and Beethoven if I could overcome my fear. Deb understood and seemed sincere, so I signed up for 3 months of classes. Still doubtful about my commitment, I bought a small, tabletop electric organ to practice with at home. It wasn’t the same as a real piano, but enabled me to learn some basics.
Week by week, I attended lessons in Deb’s studio. I often passed young students on their way out from their lessons before mine. One day, noticing the textbooks in my bag, a child stopped me and asked, “Where’s your boy?” After some hesitation, I finally answered I was the student. The children then welcomed me and I sat in the studio and listened to a piece a child was working on.
Soon, I gained confidence and upgraded to a full-size piano at home for daily practice. After three rewarding years of lessons with Deb, she announced it was time for me and other students to prepare for a recital (钢琴演奏会) on stage. I was thrilled at the chance to finally fulfill my childhood dream, yet also anxious at the thought of performing before the audience. But Deb believed in me. “Look how far you’ve come,” she encouraged. “It’s time to share your gift with others.”
Paragraph 1:
I shook my head and told her, “No, thanks.”
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
When I finally finished my performance, I faced the audience and bowed.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1:
I shook my head and told her, “No, thanks.” Deb insisted, saying it would be a valuable experience for me to perform on stage. After much persuasion, I finally agreed. After days of hard practice, I bravely sat on stage between kids, as the only adult. After the fourth child played, I was introduced. My heart raced as I positioned my fingers over the keys before the large audience. I took a deep breath and began to play. Soon I became fully absorbed in the music, my fingers gliding smoothly over the keys.
Paragraph 2:
When I finally finished my performance, I faced the audience and bowed. Applause rocked the hall, which was the appreciation of my playing and performing on stage. The audience, including my proud parents and friends, rose to their feet clapping. Many took photos to capture the moment. I smiled broadly and took two more bows. If I had given in to my fear, I’d have missed this wonderful experience. I was so glad I finally achieved my childhood dream, thanks to my courage, determination, and my teacher Deb’s encouragement.
【解析】
【导语】文章以人物为线索展开,讲述了作者小时候一直梦想着弹钢琴,在音乐厅为很多观众表演。然而,自己却不敢尝试。在25岁的时候,家附近开了一家钢琴工作室。在那里,作者遇到了Deb老师,在跟着老师一起上了三年卓有成效的课后,她宣布是时候让作者和其他学生准备在舞台上的独奏会了。作者为终于有机会实现儿时的梦想而激动不已,但一想到要在观众面前表演,也感到很焦虑。
【详解】1.段落续写
①由第一段首句内容“我摇了摇头,对她说:“不用了,谢谢。””可知,第一段可描写作者在Deb老师的劝说下,上台表演的经过。
②由第二段首句内容“当我终于结束了我的表演,我面对观众鞠躬。”可知,第二段可描写作者的表演得到了赞赏以及作者的感悟。

Calming, relaxing, full of greenery and beautiful plants, and usually with water features or other wonderful decorations thrown into the mix — that’s botanical gardens.

1. Which botanic garden attracts cherry blossom lovers the most?

Just as the shiny brochure promised, from the moment I set foot on the Harvard campus last fall, I was exposed to an exciting and enlightening new world.
I was born and raised 1,500 miles away, in a small apartment in Jackson, Mississippi. I am an only child, so my mother overpowered me with her love. For someone who sees so much beauty in the world, she worked awfully hard to protect me from it. Television, rap music, and even basketball with the kids on the block were beyond consideration. It left me a bit bitter as a teenager, but I grew to appreciate her enormous sacrifices (牺牲) — walking me to the library every afternoon, laboring at multiple jobs to keep food on the table, and telling me stories late into the night.
When I announced the summer before my senior year of high school that I had decided to apply to a school in New England, I noticed her hesitant look before a warm smile enveloped her face. I pretended not to see, but I was never able to forget it. I tried to explain my reasons for wanting to leave — to prove I was smart enough, fear of taking the path of least resistance, the classic teenage feeling of being trapped but the words just made me sound shallow and ungrateful.
Nevertheless, I began to work on the college applications — an early one for Harvard and roughly a dozen others standing by. I knew the chance of getting into Harvard was not in my favor. To my joy, I was notified of my acceptance into Harvard three days before my birthday. That night, after all of the celebratory texts and hugs, I sat in my room and began to cry uncontrollably.
Over the course of this year, I have changed in ways I never anticipated. I think I know now why my mother let me go. Harvard has forced me to grow and take a fair look at the world, and at myself. Needless to say, I would not trade the experience for anything.
4. What made the young author upset?
A. Living in a small apartment. B. Being forced to go to the library.
C. Seeing his mother take multiple jobs. D. Being unable to grow as he wished.
5. What was the mother’s first response to the author’s decision?
A. She was worried about it. B. She laughed at it.
C. She approved of it immediately. D. She turned a deaf ear to it.
6. What did the author say about his admission to Harvard?
A. It deserved a big celebration. B. It served as a belated birthday present.
C. It was beyond his expectations. D. It was a favor he owed his mother.
7. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Lifelong Learning in Harvard B. Reflections on the Road to Harvard
C. What Harvard Means to My Mother and Me D. How Harvard Shapes My Teenage Years
C
Boys grow up to be engineers and computer scientists. Girls become nurses and teachers. That seems like an out-of-date notion (观念) in a world where many students are encouraged to explore a wide range of careers. But the stereotypes (僵化思想) continue.
Aptitude tests, which seek to measure students’ potential in a particular field, may be one way to help students decide their career paths.
To understand how these tools may lead a particular student toward a field they may not have considered — or even heard of — researchers at the University of Missouri conducted an independent review. The study compared 7,222 high school students’ natural aptitudes with their self-reported interests in four areas: manufacturing (制造业), computer technology, construction, and healthcare. For healthcare, the study looked at both a student’s capacity and interest in direct patient care jobs and more technical jobs in the healthcare industry. The study included 3,619 females and 3,603 males.
“If you just look at people’s interest scores, they fall into areas which I call what they are exposed to, what they can see based on their life experiences. Many young people are exposed to very little,” said Richard Feller, a professor at Colorado State University who worked on the study. Students’ different life experiences create an exposure gap, he said, that aptitude tests can help bridge.
The study found that more than four times as many girls were found to have potential in manufacturing, more than seven times more in construction and technical healthcare fields, and two times more in computer technology than an interest list alone would show. What’s more, males were more than 1.6 times more likely to show promise in patient care positions.
“It opens up all kinds of opportunities for students who have been less fortunate and have been stereotyped,” Feller said. “We’ve got great potential that we’re not tapping into.”
8. What does the author think about the career prejudice mentioned in Para. 1?
A. It is deeply rooted in some truth.
B. It is encouraged by a majority of people.
C. It still affects students’ choices of career.
D. It stops the popularity of a wide range of careers.
9. Why did researchers at the University of Missouri conduct the study?
A. To improve students’ career ability. B. To assess the reliability of aptitude tests.
C. To have a deep insight of students’ interests. D. To understand the function of aptitude tests.
10. What does the underlined phrase “an exposure gap” in Para. 4 refer to?
A. A low score in the interest test. B. A decreased relation to society.
C. A huge difference among students. D. A lack of understanding of diverse careers.
11. What does Feller suggest in the last paragraph?
A. Aptitude tests are beneficial. B. The future plan must be examined first.
C. Studies need more participants. D. A narrower interest list would be better.
D
AI software can already identify people by their voices or handwriting. Now, an AI has shown it can label people based on their chess-playing behavior, an advance in the field of “stylometrics” that could help computers be better chess teachers or more humanlike in their game play. Alarmingly, the system could also be used to help identify and track people who think their online behavior is anonymous (匿名的).
Chess-playing software, such as Deep Blue and Alpha Zero, has long been superhuman. But Ashton Anderson, a computer scientist at the University of Toronto, says the chess engines play almost an“alien (外星人的) style” that isn’t very instructive for those seeking to learn or improve their skills. They’d do better to tailor their advice to individual players. But first they’d need to acquire a player’s unique form.
To design and train their AI, the researchers collected more than 50 million human games and fed them into a network. The researchers tested the system by seeing how well it distinguished one player from another. They gave the system 100 games from each of about 3,000 known players, and 100 fresh games from an unknown player. The system looked for the best match and identified the unknown player 86% of the time, the researchers reported last month at the Conference on Neural Information Processing Systems (NeurIPS). “We didn’t quite believe the results,” says Reid Mcllroy Young, a student in Anderson’s lab and the paper’s primary author. A non-AI method was only 28% accurate.
“The work is really cool,” says Noam Brown, a research scientist at Meta. “Style-aware AI could transform other computer interactions.”
The researchers are aware of the privacy risks posed by the system, which could be used to expose anonymous chess players online. And in theory, they say, given the right data sets, such systems could identify people based on the habits of their driving or the timing and location of their cellphone use.
NeurIPS organizers found the study technically impressive but ethically (道德上) questionable, and accepted it on condition that the researchers detail the privacy risks. Anderson says they’ve decided, for now, not to release the software.
12. What advance in AI technology is described?
A. Tracking people’s unacceptable behavior.
B. Identifying different people’s handwriting.
C. Behaving like humans when playing chess.
D. Recognizing different human chess players.
13. Why does Anderson describe chess engines’ style as alien?
A. They have exceptional but unhelpful ability.
B. They outdo individual players in skill learning.
C. They instruct players in an extremely distinctive style.
D. They are outstanding in acquiring a player’s unique form.
14. What does Para. 3 mainly talk about concerning the new AI system?
A. Its primary aim. B. Its development process.
C. Its wide application. D. Its significance to players.
15. What is NeurIPS organizers’ attitude towards the style-aware AI?
A. Careful. B. Favorable. C. Uninterested. D. Disappointed.

When I was young, I always dreamed of playing the piano and giving performances to a large audience in a concert hall. However, I struggled to understand the musical notes and the theory. Despite my parents’ encouragement and offer of piano lessons, I pretended not to be interested, too afraid to try.
Many years passed until one day, at 25 years old, I heard that a new piano studio had opened in my neighborhood. The teacher was recruiting (招收) new students. My childhood dream came flooding back.
I remembered I had initially feared becoming a teacher after graduation. However, I overcame those doubts. I refused to let fear hold me back any longer, so I walked into the studio.
The teacher, Deb, welcomed me warmly. I was relieved to find we were contemporaries (同时代的人) and expressed my desire to play the works of Bach and Beethoven if I could overcome my fear. Deb understood and seemed sincere, so I signed up for 3 months of classes. Still doubtful about my commitment, I bought a small, tabletop electric organ to practice with at home. It wasn’t the same as a real piano, but enabled me to learn some basics.
Week by week, I attended lessons in Deb’s studio. I often passed young students on their way out from their lessons before mine. One day, noticing the textbooks in my bag, a child stopped me and asked, “Where’s your boy?” After some hesitation, I finally answered I was the student. The children then welcomed me and I sat in the studio and listened to a piece a child was working on.
Soon, I gained confidence and upgraded to a full-size piano at home for daily practice. After three rewarding years of lessons with Deb, she announced it was time for me and other students to prepare for a recital (钢琴演奏会) on stage. I was thrilled at the chance to finally fulfill my childhood dream, yet also anxious at the thought of performing before the audience. But Deb believed in me. “Look how far you’ve come,” she encouraged. “It’s time to share your gift with others.”
Paragraph 1:
I shook my head and told her, “No, thanks.”

Paragraph 2:
When I finally finished my performance, I faced the audience and bowed.
