Five-year-old Willard Wigan couldn't tell the difference between an M and a W or a 6 and a 9 because of dyslexia,a learning disability.Usually,his mind drifted-to playing outside,to his dog, or to the ants.Willard was especially curious about those ants.He felt like them,small and insignificant.He noticed the ants were coming and going from a hole in the dirt.Gathering pieces of wood,Willard constructed a little building for ants. At school,Willard still had problems,but he knew he could do something special.Willard created tiny furniture for the ant houses.His artistic skill increased,and a love for little things began to grow.At age nine,Willard began carving()faces on toothpicks.When he showed his mother the carved faces,she said,"This is what you do well.You must work hard to be the best."Years later, Willard carves the tiniest artwork in the world!His sculptures are so small that several can fit on a full stop at the end of a sentence. Willard works best at night when there are few disturbances.He often works for months to complete a sculpture.Willard's favorite paintbrush is one hair from the back of a dead fly!To move his sculptures,Willard uses an eyelash.But even that can be tough.Once,while moving a microscopic Alice in Wonderland,his cell phone rang.Terrified,Willard took in a quick breath. 第2页，共10页 3 When he looked back,Alice was gone.After working for weeks to carve her,he'd accidentally breathed her in! Willard sculpts everything from famous people to fictional characters.Because of their beauty and rarity,his sculptures have made Willard a wealthy man.But he says,"Success isn't about material things like an expensive watch or a costly ring;it's about persevering and achieving your dreams."Willard Wigan who felt small as a boy has shown something small can really be big. 4.What can we know about Willard from paragraph 1?

C An experiment involving hundreds of office workers has found that artificial intelligence(Al) tools can greatly help but also hurt worker performance. AI tools designed to operate at human levels have greatly expanded in popularity over the past year.Such tools are designed to interact smoothly with humans and perform high-level writing and creative work. This year,researchers at Harvard Business School and other organizations carried out an experiment.It aimed to test how well Al tools could help workers perform their usual duties,or tasks.It involved more than 700 business advisors,called consultats ()from Massachusetts-based Boston Consulting Group. 第3页，3共10页 Harvard Business School recently published results from the experiment in a "working paper".The main findings suggest that Al tools can greatly improve worker performance.For example,researchers found that,on average,workers who used AI tools completed 12 percent more tasks than the users that handled the assigned tasks on their own.Tasks carried out with help from the Al technology were completed 25 percent faster.And the team found the quality of work performed by consultants using AI technology increased about 40 percent. However,the paper also noted areas where the performance of consultants using Al technology dipped.Of tasks the Al was good at,the experiment showed it "significantly improved human performance,"the paper said.But for tasks the AI was not right for,"humans relied too much on the AI,and were more likely to make mistakes."The researchers reported that consultants who used AI for tasks it was not well equipped for "were 19 percent less likely to produce correct solutions compared to those without Al." The team suggests one of the biggest barriers to companies effectively using Al is not knowing which tasks can be completed best with the technology.Finding this out will require businesses to carry out thoughtful research and training efforts to find the right mix of AI and human work. 8.What is people's attitude towards Al tools nowadays? A.Curious. B.Anxious. C.Positive. D.Doubtful. 9.What is Paragraph 4 mainly about? A.The total results of the experiment. B.AI technology taking the place of humans C.The speed and quality of the task completion. D.AI tools greatly improving worker performance 10.What does the underlined word "dipped"in Paragraph 5 mean? A.Improved. B.Dropped. C.Changed. D.Disappeared. 11.What does the author want to show in the last paragraph? A.AI and human work can be better combined. B.AI technology will be a barrier to companies. C.Businesses will benefit more from Al tools. D.Humans should develop new versions of AL. D 第4页，共10页 4 Who are your best fricnds on campus?Are they the ones you encountered most often in class? Are they your fellows in drama club or debate society?Something that has to influence whether pcople become friends is simple physical proximity.And,in fact,the most lasting friendships are developed between pcople whose paths cross frequently. A number of studies have demonstrated the effects of proximity on who become friends.One was conducted at MIT in the 1940s.The incoming students were randomly assigned to 17 ten-unit apartment buildings that were isolated from other residential areas,and few of them knew one another beforchand. The investigators asked each resident to name the three people in the student housing project with whom they socialized most often.The effect of proximity was striking:two-thirds of those listed as friends lived in the same building as the respondent,even though those in the same building represented only 5 percent of the target residents.More striking still was the patter of friendships within each building.Even though the physical distance between apartments was quite small--19 feet between the doorways of ncighboring apartments and 89 feet between those at the ends of each hallway--41 percent of those living in neighboring apartments listed each other as friends,compared with only 10 percent of those living at opposite ends of the hallway Proximity leads to friendship because it facilitates chance encounters.If so,then pure physical distance should matter less than functional distance the influence of an architectural layout to encourage or discourage contact between people.The MIT study shows just how important functional distance is.As the following Figure indicates,the stairs are positioned such that upstairs residents will encounter the occupants of apartments at the turn of the stairs much more often than the occupants of the middle apartments.And in fact,the residents of the two stair-end apartments formed twice as many friendships with their upstairs neighbors as those living in the middle apartments. 19 32 19 00000 Figure of the MIT Study Thus,it's functional distance more than physical distance that is decisive.Proximity promotes 第5页，共10页 5 friendship because it brings people together.Actually,in later studies involving more diverse populations,the largest effects of proximity on friendship formation have been found between people of different races,ages,or social classes. 12.What can be concluded from the MIT study? A.Friends play an important role in one's daily life B.Frequency of encounters decides the living distance C.People with shared interests are more likely to be friends. D.The more often two people meet,the closer their relationship is. 13.What method did the MIT researchers employ in their study? A.Case study.B.Recording analysis.C.In-lab observation. D.Online questionnaire. 14.Which apartment's residents in the Figure above may make most friends in the building? A.Apartment 1.B.Apartment 2. C.Apartment 6. D.Apartment 7. 15.Why did rescarchers carry out later studies? A.Previous study results are contradictory. B.Previous study methods lack scientific support. C.The sample in the previous study is not representative. D.The data in the previous study are not up-to-date enough. 第二节（共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 As a baby,Jack's remarkable swimming journey began.At ten months,he already practiced with swim aids.At six,he won his first swimming competition in a group for kids ten-and-under.At seven,he stayed at the pool from nine in the moming till eight hours later.His mother,recognizing his gift,took it as her duty to guide him.16 By a young age,Jack had been ranked the number one swimmer of the country,a title he held for a record-breaking duration. 17 He played skiing,tennis,soccer,and many more.Sam was a kid who loved to play, and his parents had no particular athletic ambitions for him.It was nearing his teens that he began to focus more on basketball.18 In his mid-thirties,an age by which many professional basketball players are typically retired,Sam was still in the national basketball team.
