Then we’ll head away from the coast and walk through hills and forest. We will walk about 15 kilometers per day. It should take us about six to seven hours. Each day’s walking will start from one hotel and finish at the next hotel on the route. We’ll walk at a leisurely speed, so this challenge is no problem if you’re a fit and active person. Previous experience is useful, but it’s not absolutely necessary. We will have an experienced leader who’s fully trained and knows the route. What will you need to take? The most important item you’ll need is good walking boots. You should buy them well in advance to make sure they fit well. You’ll need a waterproof jacket to keep you dry and warm and walking shorts are a good idea. You will also need a small backpack to carry your lunch and a water bottle. 第二部分 阅读(共两节, 满分40分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题2分, 满分30分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Study Abroad Scholarships to Apply for in 2024 Found the perfect study abroad program, but worried about not having enough money to pay?

The laboratory opened in 1990 serving as a special spot for scientists seeking to keep an eye on changing conditions on Earth’s tallest mountain. In 2015, shifting scientific priorities cost the lab most of its funding, and its 15-person team were reduced to just Bista alone. Now, the tall, soft-spoken man spends 10 months a year working to keep the aging lab functioning. “My emotional attachment to the lab … keeps me going,” he said. Bista began working at the station in 2006. He states that it was originally established to settle a disagreement between Italian and U. S. mountaineers over whether Everest or K2 was the world’s tallest. Researchers used GPS measurements to prove Everest was taller, as the Italian climbers insisted. That work finally evolved into a plan, supported by the National Research Council of Italy (CNR) and the Nepal Academy of Science and Technology (NAST), to develop a facility that could do much more. Climate scientist Sudeep Thakuri says that he is grateful the lab has played an important role in not only his own studies of the region’s glạciers (冰川), but also in studies of regional biodiversity, the long-range transport of pollutants, etc. In response to the appeal of scientists, Suresh Kumar Dhungel a senior scientist at NAST, reports discussions with CNR officials have recently resulted in moves to resume laboratory operations. And Agostino Da Polenza, president of Ev-K2-CNR, says he is working to regenerate lab programs. And his group plans to launch a crowdfunding campaign later to raise more money. Bista does his best to repair those aging instruments. “When I face any problem, I turn to experts in Italy and then act accordingly,” he said. But sometimes it can take months for spare parts to arrive. “I am helpless in this case,” he said. Yet, Bista hasn’t lost hope. “This laboratory will soon be restored,” he said. “This is my belief.” 24. What can we infer about the research station? A. It has set off several disagreements. B. It requires higher maintenance costs. C. It has been fully functioning for years. D. It has been lightly regarded in recent years. 25. What was the station initially intended for? A. Conducting a geographic survey. B. Studying human impact on Everest. C. Providing shelter for mountain climbers. D. Establishing harmony between Italy and the US. 26. Which of the following best describes Bista’s quality? A. Gifted and humorous. B. Brilliant and creative. C. Devoted and optimistic. D. Hardworking and adventurous. 27. What does the text mainly tell? A. Mountaineers fuel debate over Everest. B. Scientific research on Everest matters a lot. C. Scientists make the most of a lab on Everest. D. A lone caretaker struggles to keep a lab alive. 【答案】24. D 25. A 26. C 27. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Bista是如何让一个基本废弃的科学实验室维持运转的。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Here on the side of Mount Everest, Kaji Bista has spent a decade keeping a lonely watch over a largely abandoned (放弃) scientific laboratory, expecting the world’s highest research station to once again come to life.(在珠穆朗玛峰的一侧，Kaji Bista花了十年的时间独自看守着一个基本废弃的科学实验室，期待着这个世界上最高的研究站再次焕发生机)”可知，这个研究站基本被废弃了，说明它最近没有被重视。故选D项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段的句子“Bista began working at the station in 2006. He states that it was originally established to settle a disagreement between Italian and U. S. mountaineers over whether Everest or K2 was the world’s tallest.(Bista 2006年开始在研究站工作。他说，它最初是为了解决意大利和美国登山家之间关于珠穆朗玛峰和乔戈里峰哪个是世界上最高的分歧而建立的)”可知，这个研究站最初是为了地理调查而建立的。故选A项。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Here on the side of Mount Everest, Kaji Bista has spent a decade keeping a lonely watch over a largely abandoned (放弃) scientific laboratory, expecting the world’s highest research station to once again come to life.(在珠穆朗玛峰的一侧，Kaji Bista花了十年的时间独自看守着一个基本废弃的科学实验室，期待着这个世界上最高的研究站再次焕发生机)”和第二段的句子““My emotional attachment to the lab … keeps me going,” he said.(我对实验室的情感依恋……让我坚持下去，”他说)”可以看出Bista对实验室的忠诚与坚守。根据最后一段的句子“Yet, Bista hasn’t lost hope. “This laboratory will soon be restored,” he said. “This is my belief.”(然而，Bista并没有失去希望。“这个实验室很快就会恢复，”他说。“这是我的信念。”)”可知，Bista很乐观。故选C项。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，特别是第一段“Here on the side of Mount Everest, Kaji Bista has spent a decade keeping a lonely watch over a largely abandoned (放弃) scientific laboratory, expecting the world’s highest research station to once again come to life.(在珠穆朗玛峰一侧，Kaji Bista花了十年的时间独自看守着一个基本废弃的科学实验室，期待着这个世界上最高的研究站再次焕发生机)”和最后一段“Bista does his best to repair those aging instruments. “When I face any problem, I turn to experts in Italy and then act accordingly,” he said. But sometimes it can take months for spare parts to arrive. “I am helpless in this case,” he said. Yet, Bista hasn’t lost hope. “This laboratory will soon be restored,” he said. “This is my belief.”(Bista尽力修理那些老化的仪器。“当我遇到任何问题时，我会求助于意大利的专家，然后采取相应的行动，”他说。但有时备件可能需要几个月的时间才能到达。“在这种情况下，我无能为力，”他说。然而，Bista并没有失去希望。“这个实验室很快就会恢复，”他说。“这是我的信念。”)”可知，本文主要讲述了Bista是如何让一个基本废弃的科学实验室维持运转的。所以，D项“A lone caretaker struggles to keep a lab alive.(一个孤独的管理员努力维持实验室的生存)”可以概况本文的主要内容。故选D项。 C Enjoying a juicy watermelon is one of summer’s greatest pleasures, particularly when you don’t have to avoid any seeds. Indeed, humans have adapted many fruits to be seedless in search of a more pleasant eating experience. The navel orange (a sweet orange that is usually seedless), for example, came about after a random genetic mutation (随机的基因突变) produced a single branch with seedless fruit long ago. Cuttings of the branch were joined to other trees, and today, all of the world’s navel oranges are copies of this original. A similar discovery led to seedless grapes, which are thought to first appear in ancient Rome before making their way to the Americas in the 1870s. Scientists have a few guesses about why plants might have developed these abilities and they tried out the combinations in experiments. For one, plants can hybridize more easily than some kinds of animals, and hybridization unlocks the new potential. Even if some combinations don’t pan out, researchers have recorded examples of “hybrid advantage”, in which a hybrid is fitter than either of its parents. Lastly, because the purpose of fruit is to draw animals near to help spread their seeds, the production of fruits without fertilization (受精) may ultimately allow trees to produce more fruit at a lower energetic cost if they don’t need to make seeds, too. Regardless of why seedless fruits exist, they represent an interesting thought experiment, according to Stacey Smith, a plant evolutionary biologist at the University of Colorado Boulder. Many are unable to continue surviving without human involvement, but they’re boosted to grow in the wild for that same reason. There are very few, if any, wild navel oranges, and yet it’s estimated that California will produce 76 million cartons of them this year alone. “My personal take is that all plants under human care have won in some sense, because they don’t have to make more of themselves. We do it for them,” Smith told Live Science. “And we will never stop eating watermelons, and being able to make seedless ones just means we eat more watermelons.” 28. What is the similarity between the orange and grape mentioned in the text? A. Being native to ancient Rome. B. Being seedless due to genetic change. C. Being grown from seeds rather than cuttings. D. Being joined to other plants for a sweeter taste. 29. What does the underlined phrase “pan out” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Die out. B. Fall through. C. Come apart. D. Work out. 30. Why is the existence of seedless fruits considered a thought experiment? A. It contributes to the balance of nature. B. People still have doubts regarding seedless fruits. C. It inspires thinking on natural selection and human activity. D. Seedless fruits have a high demand but limited production. 31. What is the best title of the text? A. Hybridization: The Key to Seedless Fruits’ Success B. Seedless Fruits: A Human-Aided Evolutionary Wonder C. The Journey of Seedless Fruits: From Mutation to Market D. Genetic Mutations: The Only Way to Create Seedless Fruits 【答案】28. B 29. D 30. C 31. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了无籽水果的起源、发展以及它们与人类活动的关系。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“The navel orange (a sweet orange that is usually seedless), for example, came about after a random genetic mutation produced a single branch with seedless fruit long ago. (例如，脐橙，一种通常无籽的甜橙，是在很久以前随机的基因突变产生了一个无籽果实的单枝后产生的)”和“A similar discovery led to seedless grapes, which are thought to first appear in ancient Rome before making their way to the Americas in the 1870s. (类似的发现导致了无籽葡萄的出现，无籽葡萄被认为最早出现在古罗马，然后在19世纪70年代传到了美洲)”可知，脐橙和无籽葡萄的相似之处在于都是由于基因变化而变得无籽。故选B项。 【29题详解】 词句猜测题。画线部分的上文“Scientists have a few guesses about why plants might have developed these abilities and they tried out the combinations in experiments. For one, plants can hybridize more easily than some kinds of animals, and hybridization unlocks the new potential. (科学家们对植物为什么会发展出这些能力有一些猜测，他们在实验中尝试了这些组合。首先，植物比某些动物更容易杂交，而杂交释放了新的潜力)”提到科学家们尝试不同的组合，用杂交的手段释放新的潜力，Even if“即使”表示让步关系，再结合画线部分的下文“researchers have recorded examples of “hybrid advantage”, in which a hybrid is fitter than either of its parents (研究人员也记录了“杂交优势”的例子，在这种情况下，杂交后代比其父母中的任何一个都更适合)”可推知，虽然有些组合可能不成功，但也存在杂交优势的例子，画线部分意思应该是“成功，奏效”，与Work out意思最为接近。故选D项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Regardless of why seedless fruits exist, they represent an interesting thought experiment, according to Stacey Smith, a plant evolutionary biologist at the University of Colorado Boulder. Many are unable to continue surviving without human involvement, but they’re boosted to grow in the wild for that same reason. (科罗拉多大学博尔德分校的植物进化生物学家Stacey Smith表示，不管无籽水果存在的原因是什么，它们都代表了一个有趣的思想实验。如果没有人类的参与，许多水果无法继续生存，但出于同样的原因，它们被鼓励在野外生长)”可知，无籽水果的存在依赖于人类的干预，而不是自然选择。由此推知，无籽水果的存在是一个有趣的思想实验，是因为这引发了关于自然选择和人类活动之间关系的思考。故选C项。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段中Smith所说的话“My personal take is that all plants under human care have won in some sense, because they don’t have to make more of themselves. We do it for them (我个人的看法是，所有在人类照料下的植物都在某种意义上取得了胜利，因为它们不需要自己繁殖。我们为它们完成了这个活动)”可知，文章主要介绍了无籽水果的起源、发展以及它们与人类活动的关系。文章提到，无籽水果的出现是由于基因突变和人类的选择性繁殖，并且它们的生存依赖于人类的干预。因此，B项“无籽水果：人类辅助的进化奇迹”最能概括文章的核心内容，适合作为文章标题。故选B项。 D Artificial intelligence (AI) technology may soon be a useful tool for doctors. It may help them better understand and treat diseases like breast cancer in ways that were never before possible. Rishi Rawat teaches AI at the University of Southern California’s (USC) Clinical Science Center in Los Angeles. He is part of a team of scientists who are researching how AI and machine learning can more easily recognize cancerous growths in the breast. Rawat provides information about cancer cells to a computer. He says, “This data helps the machine learn. You can put the data into machines and they will learn the patterns and the pattern recognition that is important to making decisions.” David Agus is another USC researcher. He believes that machines are not going to take the place of doctors. He says, “Computers will not treat patients, but they will help make certain decisions and look for things that the human brain can’t recognize by itself.” Once a confirmed cancerous growth is removed, doctors still have to treat the patient to reduce the risk of cancer returning. The form of treatment depends on the kind of cancer. Currently, researchers take a thin piece of tissue, put it on a small piece of glass and add color to better see the cells. That process could take days or even longer. Scientists say AI can do something better than just count cells. Through machine learning, it can recognize complex patterns, or structures, and learn how the cells are organized. The hope is that machines will soon be able to make a quick identification of cancer that is free of human mistakes. Agus adds, “All of a sudden, we have the computing power to really do it in real time. We didn’t have the computing power to do this several years ago, but now it’s all changed.” The USC’s researchers are now only studying breast cancer. But doctors predict AI will one day make a difference in all forms of cancer. 32. What is the key to the learning of AI according to the text? A. The input of data. B. The categories of machines. C. Computers’ recognition ability. D. Scientists’ consistent research. 33. What is the main point of the fourth paragraph? A. Computers will replace doctors in the future. B. Doctors don’t need any help from machines. C. Machines can assist doctors in decision-making. D. David Agus doesn’t believe in the role of machines in medicine. 34. What is the AI’s advantage over traditional methods in cancer identifying? A. It will cost less money. B. It will become more effective. C. It will relieve patients’ suffering. D. It will correct personal mistakes. 35. Which word can best describe the technology? A. Promising. B. Integrated. C. User-friendly. D. Challenging. 【答案】32. A 33. C 34. B 35. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了南加州大学的科学家研究人工智能及机器学习如何助力识别乳腺癌，指出机器虽不会取代医生但可辅助决策，而且人工智能在癌症识别上有优势，医生预测其未来在癌症治疗方面前景广阔。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中Rawat所说的话“This data helps the machine learn. You can put the data into machines and they will learn the patterns and the pattern recognition that is important to making decisions. (这些数据有助于机器学习。你可以把数据输入机器，它们会学习模式和模式识别，这对决策很重要)”可知，输入的数据帮助机器学习。因此，人工智能学习的关键是数据输入。故选A项。 【33题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段中“He believes that machines are not going to take the place of doctors. He says, “Computers will not treat patients, but they will help make certain decisions and look for things that the human brain can’t recognize by itself.” (他认为机器不会取代医生。他说：“计算机不会治疗病人，但它们会帮助做出某些决定，并寻找人类大脑无法识别的东西。”)”可知，本段主要说明机器可以在决策方面协助医生。故选C项。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“Currently, researchers take a thin piece of tissue, put it on a small piece of glass and add color to better see the cells. That process could take days or even longer. Scientists say AI can do something better than just count cells. Through machine learning, it can recognize complex patterns, or structures, and learn how the cells are organized. (目前，研究人员将一块薄薄的组织放在一小块玻璃上，并添加颜色，以便更好地观察细胞。这个过程可能需要几天甚至更长时间。科学家表示，人工智能可以做得更好，而不仅仅是数细胞的数量。通过机器学习，它可以识别复杂的模式或结构，并了解细胞是如何组织的)”可知，在癌症识别方面，人工智能与传统方法相比的优势在于它将变得更加有效。故选B项。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Artificial intelligence (AI) technology may soon be a useful tool for doctors. It may help them better understand and treat diseases like breast cancer in ways that were never before possible. (人工智能(AI)技术可能很快就会成为医生的有用工具。这可能会帮助他们以前所未有的方式更好地了解和治疗乳腺癌等疾病)”和最后一段“The USC’s researchers are now only studying breast cancer. But doctors predict AI will one day make a difference in all forms of cancer.

In Asia, chopsticks are the top choice. You might think it’s easy to use chopsticks, but actually it’s not as simple as it first appears. I learned this lesson a couple of years ago. I had applied for a job with a Chinese-Canadian company in Vancouver. My new boss invited me out to lunch to celebrate my new job. He said we were going to eat in a Chinese restaurant in Chinatown. I was nervous. I knew we would be using chopsticks, and while I had tried many times to master the technique (技巧). I had failed in every attempt. How would I be able to make a good impression? Would they laugh at me? Would I make a complete fool of myself? I went home that evening and cooked some rice and chicken. I put the food on my plate, and I spent the next hour attempting to learn how to use chopsticks. Try as I might, I could not hold the food with my chopsticks. I didn’t get much sleep that evening. I tossed and turned (辗转反侧) in bed, worrying about the coming lunch. The next day, I could hardly contain my anxiety and headed to the restaurant. We were seated at an excellent table. My boss wrote out the food order, speaking to the waiter in Mandarin. My heart was beating wildly, but then I noticed a strange thing. Instead of the customary chopsticks, each of us had knives, forks and spoons. I was confused at first, but then, it hit me. My boss knew that I would have trouble with the chopsticks. He wanted to save me from embarrassment, so he had called ahead and arranged for us to be served with knives and forks. I couldn’t believe how thoughtful he was. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为100左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Immediately, I made up my mind to take this opportunity to learn how to use chopsticks. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 Immediately, I made up my mind to take this opportunity to learn how to use chopsticks. I asked the server to bring some chopsticks for me. When they arrived, I took them carefully in my hand. I looked up at my boss and we smiled at each other. As I grasped the chopsticks and took hold of a bit of rice and meat, trying to get them into my mouth, my fingers slipped and the food fell back to the plate. However, I didn’t give up, and eventually managed to eat my entire meal by using chopsticks. It felt like a great achievement to me. In the end, I wasn’t embarrassed at all. I’m glad that my new boss was so thoughtful a person that he could take everything into consideration. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者和老板去吃饭，老板知道作者不会使用筷子，于是安排了刀叉。作者也抓住机会学习使用筷子。 【详解】1.段落续写： 由首句内容“我马上下定决心要抓住这个机会学习如何使用筷子”可知，后文可描写作者学习使用筷子的经过以及感受。 2.续写线索：决定学习使用筷子——使用筷子的经过——用筷子吃完饭——作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①抓住机会：take this opportunity /seize the chance ②尝试：try/attempt ③决定：make up one’s mind/determine 情绪类 ①高兴的：glad /delighted ②尴尬：embarrassed /awkward 【点睛】[高分句型1] When they arrived, I took them carefully in my hand.

B Here on the side of Mount Everest, Kaji Bista has spent a decade keeping a lonely watch over a largely abandoned (放弃) scientific laboratory, expecting the world’s highest research station to once again come to life. The laboratory opened in 1990 serving as a special spot for scientists seeking to keep an eye on changing conditions on Earth’s tallest mountain. In 2015, shifting scientific priorities cost the lab most of its funding, and its 15-person team were reduced to just Bista alone. Now, the tall, soft-spoken man spends 10 months a year working to keep the aging lab functioning. “My emotional attachment to the lab … keeps me going,” he said. Bista began working at the station in 2006. He states that it was originally established to settle a disagreement between Italian and U. S. mountaineers over whether Everest or K2 was the world’s tallest. Researchers used GPS measurements to prove Everest was taller, as the Italian climbers insisted. That work finally evolved into a plan, supported by the National Research Council of Italy (CNR) and the Nepal Academy of Science and Technology (NAST), to develop a facility that could do much more. Climate scientist Sudeep Thakuri says that he is grateful the lab has played an important role in not only his own studies of the region’s glạciers (冰川), but also in studies of regional biodiversity, the long-range transport of pollutants, etc. In response to the appeal of scientists, Suresh Kumar Dhungel a senior scientist at NAST, reports discussions with CNR officials have recently resulted in moves to resume laboratory operations. And Agostino Da Polenza, president of Ev-K2-CNR, says he is working to regenerate lab programs. And his group plans to launch a crowdfunding campaign later to raise more money. Bista does his best to repair those aging instruments. “When I face any problem, I turn to experts in Italy and then act accordingly,” he said. But sometimes it can take months for spare parts to arrive. “I am helpless in this case,” he said. Yet, Bista hasn’t lost hope. “This laboratory will soon be restored,” he said. “This is my belief.” 24. What can we infer about the research station? A. It has set off several disagreements. B. It requires higher maintenance costs. C. It has been fully functioning for years. D. It has been lightly regarded in recent years. 25. What was the station initially intended for? A. Conducting a geographic survey. B. Studying human impact on Everest. C. Providing shelter for mountain climbers. D. Establishing harmony between Italy and the US. 26. Which of the following best describes Bista’s quality? A. Gifted and humorous. B. Brilliant and creative. C. Devoted and optimistic. D. Hardworking and adventurous. 27. What does the text mainly tell? A. Mountaineers fuel debate over Everest. B. Scientific research on Everest matters a lot. C. Scientists make the most of a lab on Everest. D. A lone caretaker struggles to keep a lab alive. C Enjoying a juicy watermelon is one of summer’s greatest pleasures, particularly when you don’t have to avoid any seeds. Indeed, humans have adapted many fruits to be seedless in search of a more pleasant eating experience. The navel orange (a sweet orange that is usually seedless), for example, came about after a random genetic mutation (随机的基因突变) produced a single branch with seedless fruit long ago. Cuttings of the branch were joined to other trees, and today, all of the world’s navel oranges are copies of this original. A similar discovery led to seedless grapes, which are thought to first appear in ancient Rome before making their way to the Americas in the 1870s. Scientists have a few guesses about why plants might have developed these abilities and they tried out the combinations in experiments. For one, plants can hybridize more easily than some kinds of animals, and hybridization unlocks the new potential. Even if some combinations don’t pan out, researchers have recorded examples of “hybrid advantage”, in which a hybrid is fitter than either of its parents. Lastly, because the purpose of fruit is to draw animals near to help spread their seeds, the production of fruits without fertilization (受精) may ultimately allow trees to produce more fruit at a lower energetic cost if they don’t need to make seeds, too. Regardless of why seedless fruits exist, they represent an interesting thought experiment, according to Stacey Smith, a plant evolutionary biologist at the University of Colorado Boulder. Many are unable to continue surviving without human involvement, but they’re boosted to grow in the wild for that same reason. There are very few, if any, wild navel oranges, and yet it’s estimated that California will produce 76 million cartons of them this year alone. “My personal take is that all plants under human care have won in some sense, because they don’t have to make more of themselves. We do it for them,” Smith told Live Science. “And we will never stop eating watermelons, and being able to make seedless ones just means we eat more watermelons.” 28. What is the similarity between the orange and grape mentioned in the text? A. Being native to ancient Rome. B. Being seedless due to genetic change. C. Being grown from seeds rather than cuttings. D. Being joined to other plants for a sweeter taste. 29. What does the underlined phrase “pan out” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Die out. B. Fall through. C. Come apart. D. Work out. 30. Why is the existence of seedless fruits considered a thought experiment? A. It contributes to the balance of nature. B. People still have doubts regarding seedless fruits. C It inspires thinking on natural selection and human activity. D. Seedless fruits have a high demand but limited production. 31. What is the best title of the text? A. Hybridization: The Key to Seedless Fruits’ Success B. Seedless Fruits: A Human-Aided Evolutionary Wonder C. The Journey of Seedless Fruits: From Mutation to Market D. Genetic Mutations: The Only Way to Create Seedless Fruits D Artificial intelligence (AI) technology may soon be a useful tool for doctors. It may help them better understand and treat diseases like breast cancer in ways that were never before possible. Rishi Rawat teaches AI at the University of Southern California’s (USC) Clinical Science Center in Los Angeles. He is part of a team of scientists who are researching how AI and machine learning can more easily recognize cancerous growths in the breast. Rawat provides information about cancer cells to a computer. He says, “This data helps the machine learn. You can put the data into machines and they will learn the patterns and the pattern recognition that is important to making decisions.” David Agus is another USC researcher. He believes that machines are not going to take the place of doctors. He says, “Computers will not treat patients, but they will help make certain decisions and look for things that the human brain can’t recognize by itself.” Once a confirmed cancerous growth is removed, doctors still have to treat the patient to reduce the risk of cancer returning. The form of treatment depends on the kind of cancer. Currently, researchers take a thin piece of tissue, put it on a small piece of glass and add color to better see the cells. That process could take days or even longer. Scientists say AI can do something better than just count cells. Through machine learning, it can recognize complex patterns, or structures, and learn how the cells are organized. The hope is that machines will soon be able to make a quick identification of cancer that is free of human mistakes. Agus adds, “All of a sudden, we have the computing power to really do it in real time. We didn’t have the computing power to do this several years ago, but now it’s all changed.” The USC’s researchers are now only studying breast cancer. But doctors predict AI will one day make a difference in all forms of cancer. 32. What is the key to the learning of AI according to the text? A. The input of data. B. The categories of machines. C. Computers’ recognition ability. D. Scientists’ consistent research. 33. What is the main point of the fourth paragraph? A. Computers will replace doctors in the future. B. Doctors don’t need any help from machines. C. Machines can assist doctors in decision-making. D. David Agus doesn’t believe in the role of machines in medicine. 34 What is the AI’s advantage over traditional methods in cancer identifying? A. It will cost less money. B. It will become more effective. C. It will relieve patients’ suffering. D. It will correct personal mistakes. 35. Which word can best describe the technology? A. Promising. B. Integrated. C. User-friendly. D. Challenging. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2分, 满分10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。 Food is not just something that supports life but tells us stories about who we are, what we value, and how we establish relationships. ____36____.

North Americans and Europeans use forks, knives and spoons. In Asia, chopsticks are the top choice. You might think it’s easy to use chopsticks, but actually it’s not as simple as it first appears. I learned this lesson a couple of years ago. I had applied for a job with a Chinese-Canadian company in Vancouver. My new boss invited me out to lunch to celebrate my new job. He said we were going to eat in a Chinese restaurant in Chinatown. I was nervous. I knew we would be using chopsticks, and while I had tried many times to master the technique (技巧). I had failed in every attempt. How would I be able to make a good impression? Would they laugh at me? Would I make a complete fool of myself? I went home that evening and cooked some rice and chicken. I put the food on my plate, and I spent the next hour attempting to learn how to use chopsticks. Try as I might, I could not hold the food with my chopsticks. I didn’t get much sleep that evening. I tossed and turned (辗转反侧) in bed, worrying about the coming lunch. The next day, I could hardly contain my anxiety and headed to the restaurant. We were seated at an excellent table. My boss wrote out the food order, speaking to the waiter in Mandarin. My heart was beating wildly, but then I noticed a strange thing. Instead of the customary chopsticks, each of us had knives, forks and spoons. I was confused at first, but then, it hit me. My boss knew that I would have trouble with the chopsticks. He wanted to save me from embarrassment, so he had called ahead and arranged for us to be served with knives and forks. I couldn’t believe how thoughtful he was. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为100左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Immediately, I made up my mind to take this opportunity to learn how to use chopsticks. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
