After defeating Feng Xiaocan in a Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) tournament in November, China’s mixed martial arts (MMA, 综合格斗) fighter Shi Ming became more famous for not just her athletic performance, but also her identity as a traditional Chinese medicine doctor.
Her journey into the world of martial arts began at college when she joined her university’s martial arts team, focusing on Sanda, a Chinese sport that combines kickboxing and wrestling (摔跤) techniques. With natural talent and hard work, she quickly succeeded in local competitions. But her introduction to MMA in 2017 marked a turning point. Under the guidance of US wrestling coach Bagher Amanolahi, Shi immersed herself in mastering MMA’s various techniques. Her efforts soon paid off as she moved from local competitions to the global stage.
While her rise in MMA has been impressive, what makes her unique is her ability to balance two demanding careers. Born in Northeast China’s Heilongjiang Province in 1994, Shi followed in her grandparents’ footsteps into traditional Chinese medicine. Her days often start with early-morning hospital shifts, followed by concentrated evening training. Shi believes her two roles go well together. She said, “In martial arts, you learn to respect your competitors and understand their motivations (动机). In medicine, you treat patients with the same respect and curiosity.”
Over time, Shi promoted her MMA skills and earned a spot in the UFC, the world’s most important MMA organization. This was motivated by her ambition (抱负) of becoming a fighter like Zhang Weili, the first Chinese UFC world champion.
Now, her journey of martial arts continues. “I have a great wrestling coach, a strong training team, and I apply myself to my medical and fighting careers,” she said. “I believe I will continue to pass each test that comes my way.”
4. What do we know about Shi Ming’s career?
A. She studied wrestling in the US.
B. She began to practice Sanda in 2017.
C. Her attempt at MMA marked an important change.
D. Her performance on Sanda attracted global attention
5. What makes her different from other mixed martial artist?
A. Her impressive skills of martial arts. B. Her ability to balance two identities.
C. Her high demands for career choices. D. Her focus on traditional Chinese medicine.
6. What motivates her to work hard?
A. She follows the example of Zhang Weili.
B. She has a great wrestling coach and training team.
C. She dreams of being the first Chinese UFC world champion.
D. She wants to join the world’s most important MMA organization.
7. Which word best describes Shi?
A. Ambitious. B. Organized. C. Considerate. D. Adventurous.
【答案】4. C 5. B 6. A 7. A
【解析】

Artificial intelligence (AI) has become a fashion word in recent years, and its impact on society is growing rapidly. AI refers to the development of computer systems that can perform tasks that would typically require human intelligence, such as learning, problem-solving, and decision-making. This technology is transforming every industry, from healthcare to finance, and is expected to revolutionize the future.
One area where AI is making significant steps is healthcare. Al-powered tools can analyze vast amounts of medical data and help doctors make more informed diagnoses and treatment decisions. This technology is particularly useful in fields such as radiology, where AI algorithms can analyze medical images to detect abnormalities that may be missed by human eyes. In finance, AI is being used to analyze vast amounts of data to identify patterns and predict market trends. This technology can help traders make more informed decisions and reduce the risks of financial losses. Similarly, AI-powered chatbots are being used in customer service, helping to improve response times and provide personalized support.
As the use of AI grows, concerns about job displacement have also arisen. Some fear that AI-powered machines and robots will replace human workers, leading to mass unemployment. While this is a possibility, it is also important to note that AI will create new jobs in fields such as data analysis, software development, and robotics.
Another major concern about Al is the potential for prejudice and discrimination. AI algorithms are only as good as the data they are trained on, and if that data contains prejudice, the algorithms will also be prejudiced. This issue is particularly concerning in fields such as criminal justice, where AI-powered systems are being used to make decisions about sentencing. If these algorithms are prejudiced, they could make existing inequalities continue in the criminal justice system.
Despite these concerns, the benefits of AI are numerous and undeniable. However, to ensure that these benefits are accessible to all and to address concerns about prejudice and discrimination, it is crucial to continue researching and developing moral AI.
8. AI outweighs humans in healthcare in that it ______.
A. ensures precise judgement. B. recognizes market tendency.
C. reduces financial adventures. D. offers personalized services.
9. What is one of the major concerns of Al?
A. Algorithms will be out of date. B. A lot of human workers will be laid off.
C. New jobs will be unavailable over time. D. Unfairness may arise in criminal justice system.
10. How does the writer mainly develop this text?
A. By stating facts and citing quotes.
B. By presenting influences and listing examples.
C. By showing different ideas and giving reasons.
D. By comparing research results and offering suggestions.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Artificial Intelligence: Revolutionizing the Future.
B. Artificial Intelligence: Becoming a Fashion Word.
C. Artificial Intelligence: Bettering Decision Making.
D. Artificial Intelligence: Improving Human Abilities.
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. B 11. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要说明了人工智能在医疗保健和金融领域的影响以及人们对人工智能的担忧。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“One area where AI is making significant steps is healthcare. Al-powered tools can analyze vast amounts of medical data and help doctors make more informed diagnoses and treatment decisions.(人工智能取得显著进展的一个领域是医疗保健。人工智能驱动的工具可以分析大量医疗数据,帮助医生做出更明智的诊断和治疗决策。)”可知,在医疗保健方面,人工智能的重要性超过了人类,因为它确保了准确的判断。故选A。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的“Some fear that AI-powered machines and robots will replace human workers, leading to mass unemployment.(一些人担心,人工智能驱动的机器和机器人将取代人类工人,导致大规模失业。)”可知,人们对人工智能的主要担忧之一是大量的人类工人将被解雇。故选B。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。 根据第一段的“This technology is transforming every industry, from healthcare to finance, and is expected to revolutionize the future.(这项技术正在改变从医疗保健到金融等各个行业,并有望彻底变革未来。)”及第二段的“This technology is particularly useful in fields such as radiology, where AI algorithms can analyze medical images to detect abnormalities that may be missed by human eyes.(这项技术在放射学等领域尤为有用,人工智能算法可以分析医学图像,检测出可能被人类肉眼忽略的异常。)”和“In finance, AI is being used to analyze vast amounts of data to identify patterns and predict market trends.(在金融领域,人工智能被用于分析大量数据,以识别模式并预测市场趋势。)”并结合下文人工智能引发的担忧可知,文章分别论述了人工智能在医疗保健和金融行业的影响及具体应用,可推知,作者是通过展示人工智能带来的影响和列举例子来展开文章的。故选B。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Artificial intelligence (AI) has become a fashion word in recent years, and its impact on society is growing rapidly. AI refers to the development of computer systems that can perform tasks that would typically require human intelligence, such as learning, problem-solving, and decision-making. This technology is transforming every industry, from healthcare to finance, and is expected to revolutionize the future.(近年来,人工智能(AI)已成为一个流行词汇,其对社会的影响正迅速扩大。人工智能指的是开发能够执行通常需要人类智能才能完成的任务的计算机系统,如学习、解决问题和决策。这项技术正在改变从医疗保健到金融等各个行业,并有望彻底变革未来。)”并结合后文对人工智能在医疗保健和金融行业的影响以及人们对人工智能的担忧可知,本文主要探讨的是人工智能会引起未来各行业的大变革。 故A项“Artificial Intelligence: Revolutionizing the Future.(人工智能:革新未来)”可作为最好的标题,故选A。

考查代词词义辨析。句意:是Allan,他给William父亲提供了一份工作,当送货员!A. It它;B. She她;C. He他;D. There那里。这里用It指代前文提到的“the unexpected visitor”,在英语中常用It来指代身份不明的人。故选A。
【29题详解】
考查动词词义辨析。句意:爸爸,有了这份工作,我们还需要卖房子吗?A. buy卖;B. sell卖;C. decorate装饰;D. clean清洁。根据前文“My dad says we will have to sell it to pay for my mom’s treatment”可知,之前提到因为要支付妈妈的治疗费用可能要卖房子,现在爸爸有了工作,William就想知道是否还需要卖房子。故选B。
【30题详解】
考查介词词义辨析。句意:他的父亲靠在门上微笑着回答说,这份工资可以支付医疗费用!A. by凭借;B. beside在……旁边;C. to向;D. against倚着。由空后“the door”可知,他父亲是靠在门上,lean against是固定短语,表示“靠在……上”,故选D。
【31题详解】
考查动词词义辨析。句意:他的父亲靠在门上微笑着回答说,这份工资可以支付医疗费用!A. arrange安排;B. cover足够支付;C. pay支付;D. schedule安排。根据下文“the medical expenses”可知,这份工资足够支付医疗费用,pay的主语应该是人,因此此处用cover,故选B。

After defeating Feng Xiaocan in a Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) tournament in November, China’s mixed martial arts (MMA, 综合格斗) fighter Shi Ming became more famous for not just her athletic performance, but also her identity as a traditional Chinese medicine doctor.
Her journey into the world of martial arts began at college when she joined her university’s martial arts team, focusing on Sanda, a Chinese sport that combines kickboxing and wrestling (摔跤) techniques. With natural talent and hard work, she quickly succeeded in local competitions. But her introduction to MMA in 2017 marked a turning point. Under the guidance of US wrestling coach Bagher Amanolahi, Shi immersed herself in mastering MMA’s various techniques. Her efforts soon paid off as she moved from local competitions to the global stage.
While her rise in MMA has been impressive, what makes her unique is her ability to balance two demanding careers. Born in Northeast China’s Heilongjiang Province in 1994, Shi followed in her grandparents’ footsteps into traditional Chinese medicine. Her days often start with early-morning hospital shifts, followed by concentrated evening training. Shi believes her two roles go well together. She said, “In martial arts, you learn to respect your competitors and understand their motivations (动机). In medicine, you treat patients with the same respect and curiosity.”
Over time, Shi promoted her MMA skills and earned a spot in the UFC, the world’s most important MMA organization. This was motivated by her ambition (抱负) of becoming a fighter like Zhang Weili, the first Chinese UFC world champion.
Now her journey of martial arts continues. “I have a great wrestling coach, a strong training team, and I apply myself to my medical and fighting careers,” she said. “I believe I will continue to pass each test that comes my way.”
4. What do we know about Shi Ming’s career?
A. She studied wrestling in the US.
B. She began to practice Sanda in 2017.
C. Her attempt at MMA marked an important change.
D. Her performance on Sanda attracted global attention
5. What makes her different from other mixed martial artist?
A. Her impressive skills of martial arts. B. Her ability to balance two identities.
C. Her high demands for career choices. D. Her focus on traditional Chinese medicine.
6. What motivates her to work hard?
A. She follows the example of Zhang Weili.
B. She has a great wrestling coach and training team.
C. She dreams of being the first Chinese UFC world champion.
D. She wants to join the world’s most important MMA organization.
7. Which word best describes Shi?
A Ambitious. B. Organized. C. Considerate. D. Adventurous.
C
D
Artificial intelligence (AI) has become a fashion word in recent years, and its impact on society is growing rapidly. AI refers to the development of computer systems that can perform tasks that would typically require human intelligence, such as learning, problem-solving, and decision-making. This technology is transforming every industry, from healthcare to finance, and is expected to revolutionize the future.
One area where AI is making significant steps is healthcare. Al-powered tools can analyze vast amounts of medical data and help doctors make more informed diagnoses and treatment decisions. This technology is particularly useful in fields such as radiology, where AI algorithms can analyze medical images to detect abnormalities that may be missed by human eyes. In finance, AI is being used to analyze vast amounts of data to identify patterns and predict market trends. This technology can help traders make more informed decisions and reduce the risks of financial losses. Similarly, AI-powered chatbots are being used in customer service, helping to improve response times and provide personalized support.
As the use of AI grows, concerns about job displacement have also arisen. Some fear that AI-powered machines and robots will replace human workers, leading to mass unemployment. While this is a possibility, it is also important to note that AI will create new jobs in fields such as data analysis, software development, and robotics.
Another major concern about Al is the potential for prejudice and discrimination. AI algorithms are only as good as the data they are trained on, and if that data contains prejudice, the algorithms will also be prejudiced. This issue is particularly concerning in fields such as criminal justice, where AI-powered systems are being used to make decisions about sentencing. If these algorithms are prejudiced, they could make existing inequalities continue in the criminal justice system.
Despite these concerns, the benefits of AI are numerous and undeniable. However, to ensure that these benefits are accessible to all and to address concerns about prejudice and discrimination, it is crucial to continue researching and developing moral AI.
8. AI outweighs humans in healthcare in that it ______.
A. ensures precise judgement. B. recognizes market tendency.
C. reduces financial adventures. D. offers personalized services.
9. What is one of the major concerns of Al?
A. Algorithms will be out of date. B. A lot of human workers will be laid off.
C. New jobs will be unavailable over time. D. Unfairness may arise in criminal justice system.
10. How does the writer mainly develop this text?
A. By stating facts and citing quotes.
B. By presenting influences and listing examples.
C. By showing different ideas and giving reasons.
D. By comparing research results and offering suggestions.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Artificial Intelligence: Revolutionizing the Future.
B. Artificial Intelligence: Becoming a Fashion Word.
C. Artificial Intelligence: Bettering Decision Making.
D. Artificial Intelligence: Improving Human Abilities.
