Movement is our first language; I believe we’re born to dance. I’ve always had a special liking for dance, and my job.

Then, ill health struck. As my health declined progressively, I had to stop doing what I loved. 3 , all I had was being able to facilitate the occasional workshop when opportunity and energy aligned (一致). Chronic fatigue syndrome (慢性疲劳综合症) is a merciless beast.

I could no longer accept facilitation invitations because my 5 was now unreliable. I grieved, feeling like I was being swallowed by a damp, dark fog.
After an extended period of being in self-pity, I 6 my thinking. I have internal value. My value or identity is not 7 by what I can or cannot do. Regarding my health journey, in time, I 8 this: it is what it is. For this season, this is my path.
So, I started dancing again. Life is full of surprises, pleasant, unpleasant, and neutral, yet what matters is how we 9 to those surprises. Despite ongoing voice loss and health challenges, I found new ways to make a difference.

A voice reaches us, crying out from the depths of a profound silence: “I am alive, I can think, and no one has the right to deny me these two realities. . . ”
The words were conveyed by a flicker (跳动) of the left eyelid. It came from a book, The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, by a former journalist, Jean-Dominique Bauby. He worked for journals like the Quotidien de Paris and Paris Match. For four years until December 1995 he was the very successful chief editor of Elle.
Then the unthinkable happened. A cardiovascular ( 心血管的) accident sent him into a deep coma (昏迷). His brain remained undamaged, but its connection to his body left him with only the ability to blink his left eyelid. The poor man was diagnosed as suffering from the rare disease “Locked-in Syndrome”, unable to breathe or eat without assistance.
In this inert body, however, his brain was working furiously, trying to make people understand what he was thinking. With the help of a specialized nurse, Claude Mendibil, he was able to write his book, using only his ability to blink at the most frequently used letters of the alphabet.
He would spend most of the night editing his thoughts and composing sentences. It took him about 200, 000 blinks to write his book of more than 100 pages. In it, Bauby describes his paralyzed existence as being trapped in an old-fashioned deep-sea diving bell while the “butterflies” of his mind flutter about freely.
One would expect from this process formal factual report, but that is not the case. The book reads in flowing images that light up his predicament. The style is clear and fresh, and not without elegance, imagination and shafts of humor.
He is also in search of past time, of memory itself, of the books he had read, the poems he had learnt by heart. Even sadder, he thinks of all the books he wanted to read and hadn’t gotten to. He has to listen to someone else reading them to him. He recalls meals, a horse race, his life and work as an editor, and his struggle in his hospital bed to twitch (抽搐) his nose when a fly lands on it.
“From this hell comes a great message of life and hope,” said Antoine Audouard, a friend of Bauby’s and the book’s publisher.
24.We can learn from the article that Jean Dominique Bauby ________.
A.die of a rare cardiovascular condition
B.used to be a successful journalist and editor
C.suffered brain damage due to Locked-in Syndrome
D.continued to run magazines from his hospital bed with the help of a nurse
25.What do paragraphs 4 and 5 mainly talk about?
A.How Bauby was able to write his book.
B.What Bauby’s life was like after he had been paralyzed.
C.What The Diving Bell and the Butterfly is mainly about.
D.Why Bauby named his book The Diving Bell and the Butterfly.
26.Based on information from the article, which of the following statements about The Diving Bell and the Butterfly is true?
A.It is written in a formal and serious style.
B.It focuses on Bauby’s memories from his time as an editor.
C.It describes Bauby’s paralyzed existence with elegant and creative language.
D.It gives readers an easy-to-understand introduction to Locked-in Syndrome.
27.Based on this article, which of the following words can not be used to describe Bauby?

Neuroscientists usually investigate one brain at a time. They observe how neurons(神经元)fire as a person reads certain words, for example, or plays a video game. As social animals, however, those same scientists do much of their work together — brainstorming hypotheses, puzzling over problems and fine-tuning experimental designs. Increasingly, researchers are bringing that reality into how they study brains.
Collective neuroscience, as some practitioners call it, is a rapidly growing field of research. An early, consistent finding is that when people converse or share an experience, their brain waves synchronize. Neurons in corresponding locations of the different brains fire at the same time, creating matching patterns, like dancers moving together. The experience of “being on the same wavelength” as another person is real, and it is visible in the activity of the brain.
Such work is beginning to reveal new levels of richness and complexity in sociability. In classrooms where students are engaged with the teacher, for example, their patterns of brain processing begin to synchronize with that teacher’s — and greater synchrony may mean better learning. Couples exhibit higher degrees of brain synchrony than non-romantic pairs, as do close friends compared with more distant acquaintances.
But much about the phenomenon remains mysterious — even scientists occasionally use the word “magic” when talking about it. One straightforward explanation could be that synchrony between brains is a result of shared experience or simply a sign that we are hearing or seeing the same thing as someone else. But the newest research suggests that synchrony is more than that — or can be. Researchers are discovering synchrony in humans and other species, and they are mapping its choreography — its rhythm, timing and undulations(波动) — to better understand what benefits it may give us.
Given that synchronized experiences are often enjoyable, researchers suspect this phenomenon is beneficial: it helps us interact and may have facilitated the evolution of sociality. This new kind of brain research might also cast light on why we don’t always “click” with someone or why social isolation(孤立) is so harmful to physical and mental health. With synchrony and other levels of neural interaction, humans teach and learn, forge friendships and romances, and cooperate and converse. We are driven to connect, and synchrony is one way our brains help us do it.
28.According to the passage, collective neuroscience ______.
A.collects and refines research on neurons
B.analyses activities of one brain at a time
C.promotes connections among neuroscientists
D.focuses on studying brains in interactive groups
29.What can we infer about brain synchrony from Paragraph 4?
A.It can benefit other species.
B.Its mechanism has changed.
C.It demands further investigations.
D.Findings about it are contradictory.
30.Which of the following may result from brain synchrony?
A.Increasing popularity among peers.
B.Better cooperation among teammates.
C.Improved techniques for conversations.
D.More shared experiences between a couple.
D
You might not think that an AI capable of making music would stimulate your emotion, but others think differently, particularly those who gathered at Mexico City’s Symphony Hall in 2019 for Schubert’s Unfinished Symphony, which I finished using melodies generated by an AI.
As the orchestra (管弦乐团) finished Schubert’s original work and began the music the AI and I had written, I could feel the crowd’s energy shift from astonishment to indignation and fear. They seemed afraid that an AI might be able to make emotional symphonic music. You can see their point: an AI that makes emotional music could affect the emotional lives of thousands or even millions of people in a small, but profound way, just like a human musician does.
Positive and negative, people reacted very strongly to AI’s symphonic debut (首秀). Even though most people don’t believe that AI can create something enjoyable, they, at least partly, did enjoy the Unfinished Symphony.
Enjoyment in music implies that there’s something in the music that the listener connects to, a perception of shared emotion. But, in the case of AI music, an emotion shared with who? AI, as of yet, has no emotions. So what is the meaning of music made without an emotional composer? The unsatisfying answer is that music has no objective meaning. A composer can decide how a piece of music sounds, but it’s the listener that decides what it means.
No matter how it’s created, music doesn’t exist in a vacuum (真空) to the listener. The meaning we assign to music depends on its context — how the piece connects to other elements in our lives. Without context, music is like the results of a game whose rules have been lost. The context for a music is part of who you are. The music is emotional to you because you have the context to appreciate it. As it continues to evolve, AI music will develop its own context. Certainly, it’ll be different from human-made music. It’ll mix existing genres to create new ones; it’ll combine instruments that we wouldn’t think of combining. Its rules will be different.
I’m now always asked the same question: “Who put the emotion in that music: you, the composer, or the AI?” But that’s not the question they really want to ask, though. There’s a deeper question that most people are too afraid to ask right now: “Are my emotions so simple that they can be maneuvered by a machine?”
In my experience, this could be possible one day. If a modestly capable music AI in 2019 could stir up emotions of an audience, maybe AI can have a more powerful effect on our emotional lives than we’d like to admit.
31.The audience reacted strongly to the symphony mainly due to ______.
A.their doubts about AI’s capabilities B.their uneasiness about AI’s influence
C.the orchestra’s brilliant presentation of AI music D.the likeness between AI music and the original work
32.What might the author agree with?
A.AI poses little impact on people’s emotions.
B.Music bears no intended emotional meaning.
C.AI music will outperform human-made music.
D.The context reflects people’s interpretation of music.
33.What does the word “maneuvered” underlined in Paragraph 6 most probably mean?
A.Refreshed. B.Challenged. C.Revealed. D.Directed.
34.Which would be the best title for the passage?
A.Are Composers To Be Replaced? B.Would AI Music Be a Rising Trend?
C.Could AI Make Music That Moves You? D.Was the Unfinished Symphony Successful?
第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,共10分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有项为多余选项。
Everyone carries a shield(屏障). Our shields protect what we don’t want others to see, from our embarrassing secrets to our unpredictable feelings. 35 But the problem is that shields can become heavy burdens — easy to put on yet difficult to remove — with terrible effects.
Since shields encourage us to hide negative parts of ourselves, we can start to believe that we aren’t worth showing. We might fear how our friends will judge our struggles or how our families will view our ambitions. 36
However, we have to remember that we aren’t perfect, nor should we expect to be. We need to find and cure the wounds underneath our shields, but that means we have to let down our guard. We may even have problems we haven’t admitted to ourselves. 37 Even if it seems insignificant, every problem should be acknowledged before it grows. Before being cured, we must know that we need to be cured, and be okay with admitting that.
Knowing this takes bravery and patience, so it’ll be hard. 38 Yet asking for help means admitting our problems to somebody else — it means letting them see what’s behind our shields. To make it easier, we can reveal ourselves to somebody close to us who we trust will understand us and provide personal support. Or, if we fear judgement, we can open up to someone distant but knowledgeable, such as a counsellor or a help line. No matter what, we can find help when we begin searching.
39 We can be more forgiving of faults so we can become comfortable with ours and encourage others to follow. Most importantly, we can let people know that we are willing to listen and help and make it easier to let down our shields.
A.This is not a bad thing.
B.We need to be understood.
C.We shouldn’t expect to do any of it without help.
D.In short, we have the power to change this phenomenon.
E.Hence we decide to hide ourselves underneath our masks.
F.If you can’t trust your partner, it won’t be easy to let them in.
G.Maybe we’re hiding something from a friend or scared to admit an error.
第三部分 书面表达(共两节,共32分)
第一节 阅读表达(共4小题,第40、41题各2分,第42题3分,第43题5分,共12分)
阅读下面短文,根据题目要求回答问题。
I always wanted to be like explorers Marco Polo or Ibn Battuta. They traveled the world with curiosity and a desire to share with others the marvels they discovered. They had no Internet, guidebooks, social media, blogs, vlogs, reviews, or slideshows. And with so much information available, how can one possibly be like these travel writing pioneers?
The answer may shock you as it did my travel journalism students. I plan nothing in advance except for a place to stay and let the place reveal itself to me on its own terms. And how does that work out? I have contributed to 130 international publications with articles about what I discovered.
I do not recommend this approach to everyone. But what I do suggest is that you give up your desire to have everything planned in advance, and that you stop obsessing about all the trip details and trying to make it a perfect trip. Whether you are traveling with a tour group, friends, family, or solo, leave unstructured time, so magic can happen.
Many people I know approach travel like a job, and a stressful one at that. They want to make sure they cover all the bases and don’t miss anything. But in my opinion, they copy what others have done before them and check each site off on a list.
So how do you make your trip unique? I call it slow travel. It’s not just about slowing down. Instead of running from place to place, you look around you, you take your environment in, you notice things that perhaps no one has ever noticed before. You can start talking to people. Random people you meet and talk to are a key element you cannot plan for. They may tell you about places and events that will enrich your trip. They give you local insider tips. They may even accompany you or invite you to join them for an experience. They have enriched every trip I have taken. And the more you talk to people — even if you are shy — the more you develop the self - confidence to do more of it. And then you are really in the present, having an experience that is uniquely yours.
40.Why does the author’s way of travelling shock her students?
41.What does the author think of most people’s way of travelling?
42.Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
You can make your trip unique by making a detailed plan, noticing new things in the place and meeting local people to experience local life.
43.Besides slow travel, in what other aspects in our life do you think we should slow down? Why? (In about 40 words)

24.细节理解题。根据文章第二段中“It came from a book, The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, by a former journalist, Jean-Dominique Bauby.

With the help of a specialized nurse, Claude Mendibil, he was able to write his book, using only his ability to blink at the most frequently used letters of the alphabet. (然而,在这个无活动能力的身体里面,他的大脑正在疯狂地工作,试图让人们理解他在想什么。在专业护士克劳德·门迪比尔的帮助下,他仅凭对着字母表中最常用的字母眨眼的能力就能写书了)”以及第五段中“He would spend most of the night editing his thoughts and composing sentences. It took him about 200, 000 blinks to write his book of more than 100 pages. (他会花一晚上的时间编辑自己的想法和造句。当门迪比尔早上到达时,他可以连续眨眼口述给她听。他眨眼20万次才完成这本100多页的书)”可知,这两段主要讲述鲍比瘫痪之后如何完成他的书。故选A项。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一个新兴的研究领域——集体神经科学,该领域研究当人们交流或分享经验时大脑波的同步现象。
28.细节理解题。根据文章第一段的句子“As social animals, however, those same scientists do much of their work together — brainstorming hypotheses, puzzling over problems and fine-tuning experimental designs. Increasingly, researchers are bringing that reality into how they study brains.(然而,作为社会动物,这些科学家同样会一起做很多工作——头脑风暴、解决问题和微调实验设计。越来越多的研究人员将这种现实带入他们研究大脑的方式中)”和第二段“Collective neuroscience, as some practitioners call it, is a rapidly growing field of research.(一些从业者称之为集体神经科学,是一个迅速发展的研究领域)”可知,集体神经科学专注于在互动小组中研究大脑。故选D。
29.推理判断题。根据文章第四段的句子“But much about the phenomenon remains mysterious — even scientists occasionally use the word “magic” when talking about it.(但关于这一现象的很多方面仍然是个谜——甚至科学家在谈论它时偶尔也会用“神奇”这个词)”可知,科学家们对大脑同步现象的了解还不够深入,需要进一步的研究。故选C。
30.细节理解题。根据文章最后一段的句子“With synchrony and other levels of neural interaction, humans teach and learn, forge friendships and romances, and cooperate and converse.(通过同步和其他级别的神经交互,人类教导和学习、建立友谊和浪漫关系、合作和交谈)”可知,大脑同步现象可能会促进团队成员之间的合作。故选B。

【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了人工智能是否能创作出富含情感的音乐的问题,论述了作者对于音乐中情感的看法。
31.推理判断题。根据第二段“As the orchestra (管弦乐团) finished Schubert’s original work and began the music the AI and I had written, I could feel the crowd’s energy shift from astonishment to indignation and fear. They seemed afraid that an AI might be able to make emotional symphonic music. You can see their point: an AI that makes emotional music could affect the emotional lives of thousands or even millions of people in a small, but profound way, just like a human musician does.(当管弦乐队演奏完舒伯特的原创作品,开始演奏人工智能和我共同创作的音乐时,我能感觉到观众的情绪从惊讶转变为愤怒和恐惧。他们似乎担心人工智能可能会创作出充满情感的交响乐。你可以看到他们的观点:一个制作情感音乐的人工智能可以以一种微小但深刻的方式影响数千甚至数百万人的情感生活,就像一个人类音乐家一样。)”可知,观众之所以对交响曲反应强烈,主要是因为对人工智能的影响感到不安。故选B。
32.推理判断题。根据第四段“AI, as of yet, has no emotions. So what is the meaning of music made without an emotional composer? The unsatisfying answer is that music has no objective meaning. A composer can decide how a piece of music sounds, but it’s the listener that decides what it means.(到目前为止,人工智能还没有情感。那么,没有情感作曲家的音乐有什么意义呢?令人不满意的答案是,音乐没有客观意义。作曲家可以决定一段音乐的声音,但听众可以决定它的意义。)”可知,作者可能会同意音乐没有预期的情感含义。故选B。
33.词句猜测题。根据第二段“You can see their point: an AI that makes emotional music could affect the emotional lives of thousands or even millions of people in a small, but profound way, just like a human musician does.(你可以看到他们的观点:一个制作情感音乐的人工智能可以以一种微小但深刻的方式影响数千甚至数百万人的情感生活,就像一个人类音乐家一样。)”以及划线词上文“Are my emotions so simple that they can be”和后文“by a machine”可知,人工智能制作的音乐可以影响数千甚至数百万人的情感生活,所以大多数人不敢问的问题是:我的情绪是否简单到可以被机器操纵?故划线词意思是“操纵”,与D选项Directed“指示,指导”意思最接近。故选D。
34.主旨大意题。根据第三段“Positive and negative, people reacted very strongly to AI’s symphonic debut (首秀). Even though most people don’t believe that AI can create something enjoyable, they, at least partly, did enjoy the Unfinished Symphony.(不管是正面还是负面,人们对AI的交响乐首演反应非常强烈。尽管大多数人不相信人工智能可以创造出令人愉快的东西,但他们(至少在一定程度上)确实喜欢《未完成的交响曲》)”结合文章主要讨论了人工智能是否能创作出富含情感的音乐的问题,论述了作者对于音乐中情感的看法。可知,C选项“人工智能能做出打动你的音乐吗?”最符合文章标题。故选C。
35.A 36.E 37.G 38.C 39.D
【导语】这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了每个人都带着屏障,这带来了消极的影响,所以我们要学会改变这种想象。
35.根据上文“Our shields protect what we don’t want others to see, from our embarrassing secrets to our unpredictable feelings.”(我们的屏障保护着我们不想让别人看到的东西,从我们尴尬的秘密到我们不可预测的感受)再根据下文“But the problem is that shields can become heavy burdens — easy to put on yet difficult to remove — with terrible effects.”(但问题是,屏障会成为沉重的负担——容易戴上却很难取下——带来可怕的后果)可知,后文进行转折,说的是不好的结果,选项与下文为转折关系,故A选项“这不是一件坏事”切题。故选A项。
36.根据上文“Since shields encourage us to hide negative parts of ourselves, we can start to believe that we aren’t worth showing. We might fear how our friends will judge our struggles or how our families will view our ambitions.”(因为屏障鼓励我们隐藏自己的消极部分,我们可以开始相信我们不值得展示。我们可能会担心朋友会如何评价我们的奋斗,或者家人会如何看待我们的抱负。)可知,选项承接上文说明导致的不良结果。故E选项“因此我们决定把自己藏在面具下”切题。故选E项。
37.根据上文“We may even have problems we haven’t admitted to ourselves.”(我们甚至可能会遇到自己没有承认的问题)可知,选项承接上文继续说明自己的问题。故G选项“也许我们对朋友有所隐瞒,或者害怕承认错误。”切题。故选G项。
38.根据下文“Yet asking for help means admitting our problems to somebody else — it means letting them see what’s behind our shields.”(然而,寻求帮助意味着向别人承认我们的问题——意味着让他们看到我们屏障后面的东西)可知,选项与下文为转折关系说明我们需要帮助。故C选项“我们不应该指望在没有帮助的情况下做任何事情。”切题。故选C项。
39.根据下文“We can be more forgiving of faults so we can become comfortable with ours and encourage others to follow. Most importantly, we can let people know that we are willing to listen and help and make it easier to let down our shields.”(我们可以更加宽容自己的错误,这样我们就能对自己的错误感到舒适,并鼓励别人效仿。最重要的是,我们可以让人们知道我们愿意倾听和帮助,让他们更容易放下我们的屏障。)可知,后文都在说我们是可以改变自己的。故D选项“简而言之,我们有能力改变这种现象”切题,为本段的标题。故选D项。
40.The author plans nothing in advance except for a place to stay and let the place reveal itself to him/her on its own terms. 41.In the author’s opinion, they copy what others have done before them and check each site off on a list. 42.You can make your trip unique by making a detailed plan, noticing new things in the place and meeting local people to experience local life. According to the passage, the writer thinks we can make our trip unique by slow travel. We can notice things that perhaps no one has ever noticed before and talking with local people. Making a detailed plan is not part of slow travel. 43.言之有理即可
【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。短文论述了作者对旅游方式的看法。
40.考查细节理解题。根据第二段“The answer may shock you as it did my travel journalism students. I plan nothing in advance except for a place to stay and let the place reveal itself to me on its own terms.”(答案可能会让你震惊,就像我的旅行新闻系学生一样。我什么都不提前计划,除了有一个地方住,让这个地方自己向我展示自己的条件)可知,作者的旅行方式让她的学生感到震惊是因为作者什么都不提前计划,除了有一个地方住,让这个地方自己向作者展示自己的条件。故回答为:The author plans nothing in advance except for a place to stay and let the place reveal itself to him/her on its own terms.
41.考查细节理解题。根据第四段“But in my opinion, they copy what others have done before them and check each site off on a list.”(但在我看来,他们只是照搬前人的做法,然后在一个列表上检查旅游景点。)可知,作者认为大多数人的旅行方式只是照搬前人的做法,然后在一个列表上检查每个旅游景点。故回答为:In the author’s opinion, they copy what others have done before them and check each site off on a list.
42.考查细节理解题。根据最后一段“I call it slow travel. It’s not just about slowing down. Instead of running from place to place, you look around you, you take your environment in, you notice things that perhaps no one has ever noticed before. You can start talking to people. Random people you meet and talk to are a key element you cannot plan for.”(我称之为慢旅行。这不仅仅是减速。你不再从一个地方跑到另一个地方,而是要环顾四周,融入周围的环境,注意到一些可能从来没有人注意到的东西。你可以开始和别人交流了。你遇到和交谈的随机的人是你不能计划的一个关键因素。)可知,“by making a detailed plan”是错误的。作者认为我们可以通过慢速旅行使我们的旅行与众不同。我们可以注意到以前可能没有人注意到的事情,并与当地人交谈。制定详细的计划不是慢速旅行的一部分。故回答为:You can make your trip unique by making a detailed plan, noticing new things in the place and meeting local people to experience local life. According to the passage, the writer thinks we can make our trip unique by slow travel. We can notice things that perhaps no one has ever noticed before and talking with local people. Making a detailed plan is not part of slow travel.
43.考查开放性试题。除了慢旅行,我认为生活的节奏应该慢下来,慢节奏的生活能让我们不焦虑,使我们体验到生活的美和意义。故回答为:I think the pace of life should be slow and slow pace of life can let us not worry, making us experience the beauty and meaning of life.
44.Possible version:
Dear Jim,
How are you doing? Our school will hold a series of activities with the theme of growth, so I am writing to invite you to join me.
Of all the activities, I prefer to participate in the tree planting to experience the sourness and sweetness of growth. Those who sign up for it will work together to plant a tree, digging a hole, building soil berms and watering the sapling. The growth of a tree requires patience and persistence, so do we. When the tree flourishes, we’ll become responsible adults, making contributions to the society.
Are you interested in it? I believe it’ll be an unforgettable experience. Looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Li Hua
