So just imagine how many valuable experiences your elders can share with you. When you spend time volunteering with seniors, you'll benefit just as much as they do! We've put together some ideas for different ways to lend a hand, or a listening ear to seniors. Remember, simply giving your time and conversation can sometimes mean the most. Visit an assisted living facility One of the most meaningful things you can do for someone in an assisted living facility is share some quality time together. Whether you're going to see a neighbor or loved one, call ahead to plan a time to drop by. Even if your days fill up quickly, just a quick hello can brighten someone's day. Reach out locally Chances are that there are seniors right in your own neighborhood who could use your help. ●Some seniors' health prevents them from getting out. Keep them from feeling lonely by going for a visit or bringing over a meal. ●Offer to do many around-the-house chores for the seniors. Be a companion There are plenty of seniors who could use some company! And there are many programs and organizations that can match you up with the perfect senior friend in your area. ●With the Elder Helpers program, you can sign up to help in ways that fit your interests and skills. ●You can join the Senior Corps program to help older seniors with daily tasks. ●You can also volunteer to help aging seniors through organizations such as the National Council on Aging. Be a skillful talker You can learn from your older friends - many of their experiences may surprise you! But it can often be challenging to know just what to ask in order to start a conversation. ●Discover their passion: Does your friend love to cook? Ask them to share a favorite family recipe. They'll welcome the opportunity to chat about it. ●Discover their skills: Ask your friends about their skills and hobbies - sewing, woodworking, writing. Request that they teach you a thing or two. ●Make some artwork: Turn select pages of your memory book into wall art for their room, and so your friend can continuously recall good times. 1. What does the author intend to do through the text? A. To explain how to make seniors happy. B. To introduce the benefits of volunteering. C. To encourage people to share experiences. D. To give a guide for volunteering with seniors. 2. How many programs and organizations are mentioned? A. 2. B. 3. C. 4. D. 5. 3. What is the “Be a skillful talker” part about? A. How to answer questions. B. How to make up stories. C. How to persuade the seniors. D. How to start a conversation. 【答案】1. D 2. B 3. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍几个招募志愿者做一些和老年人有关的工作，并且志愿者也会有所收获。 【1题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“When you spend time volunteering with seniors, you'll benefit just as much as they do! (当你花时间和老年人一起做志愿者时，你会和他们一样受益!)” 和第二段“We've put together some ideas for different ways to lend a hand, or a listening ear to seniors. (我们汇集了一些不同的想法，以帮助老年人，或倾听他们的心声)”可知，文章是在介绍和老年人有关的志愿者工作的一些想法。故选D项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Be a companion部分“There are plenty of seniors who could use some company! And there are many programs and organizations that can match you up with the perfect senior friend in your area. ●With the Elder Helpers program, you can sign up to help in ways that fit your interests and skills. ●You can join the Senior Corps program to help older seniors with daily tasks. ●You can also volunteer to help aging seniors through organizations such as the National Council on Aging. (有很多老年人需要陪伴!有许多项目和组织可以帮你找到你所在地区的合适的老年朋友。 ●有了长者帮助计划，你可以按照自己的兴趣和技能报名参加帮助。 ●你可以加入老年人团项目，帮助老年人完成日常工作。 ●你也可以通过国家老龄委员会等组织自愿帮助老年人)”可知，文中提到了三个组织和项目故选B项。 【3题详解】 主旨大意题。根据Be a skillful talker部分“You can learn from your older friends - many of their experiences may surprise you! But it can often be challenging to know just what to ask in order to start a conversation .(你可以向年长的朋友学习——他们的许多经历可能会让你大吃一惊!但是要想知道要开始一段对话该问什么问题通常是很有挑战性的)”并结合下面三条具体建议可知，该部分主要介绍如何开始和老年人交谈，从哪里开始话题。故选D项。 B Like most people, I had a lot of time on my hands these past few years, and I spent most of it on my phone. This, together with anxiety medication (药物治疗), has made my brain weak. I’ve never had a very good memory, but by summer of 2021, I saw the little memory that I did have disappear suddenly while Googling “ben afleCk brther bad 1.” I grew frustrated. I couldn’t remember the name of Joan Holloway’s military husband from Mad Men without looking it up, or the name of my college friend, who would come into my dorm regularly to talk about how much he worked out. None of this was especially useful or life-changing information, but I wanted to remember it without making a shameful mess of my search history. Inspired by a desire to impress myself and others, I decided to stop looking stuff up online and see what happened. When I couldn’t remember the character from Mad Men, instead of instantly turning to my phone, I just sat there, thinking, very hard. (Aha! Greg was his name.) And so my new skill was born: Strong Brain. For a few months I didn’t make any progress. Sometimes I would sit without knowing something for hours, well after whoever I was with had looked it up and had moved on to knowing the next thing that I couldn’t remember. I was frequently laughed at and made to feel stupid for sitting with my arms crossed. I was teased for not coming up with answers to things that no one on earth should know simply because I took an attitude against looking them up. But while the sounds of my haters got louder and louder, my brain beefed up in my defense. As friends tried to remember the name of the actor who played Robin Williams’s sweetheart in Jumanji, I spoke unthinkingly with ‘Bonnie Hunt’. If you’re like me and have always wanted to be the shiny, pretty person at a party that everyone is listening to and smiling at and wondering where she got her hair cut, I think Strong Brain is the party trick for you. 4. What do we learn about the author from paragraph 1? A. She was overusing the phone. B. She wasted a lot of time on the calls. C. She was addicted to anxiety medicine. D. She made many spelling errors while searching. 5. What did the author decide to do after the summer of 2021? A. Improve her recall. B. Seek help from medicine. C. Clear up her search history. D. Connect with her college friend. 6. What did other people think of the author’s new skill training? A. Difficult. B. Important. C. Ridiculous. D. Rewarding. 7. What is the best title of the text? A. My Concern over Anxiety. B. My Way to Be Brain-Strong. C. My Fight with High Technology. D. My Suffering from Poor Memory. 【答案】4. A 5. A 6. C 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是记叙文。文章主要通过讲述作者因为长期玩手机导致记忆力下降，因此就利用最强大脑（Strong Brain）来让自己增强记忆力。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Like most people, I had a lot of time on my hands these past few years, and I spent most of it on my phone. (和大多数人一样，在过去的几年里，我有很多时间，大部分时间都花在了手机上。)”可知，作者大部分时间都花在了手机上，即她过度使用手机。故选A。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Inspired by a desire to impress myself and others, I decided to stop looking stuff up online and see what happened. When I couldn’t remember the character from Mad Men, instead of instantly turning to my phone, I just sat there, thinking, very hard. (Aha! Greg was his name.) And so my new skill was born: Strong Brain. (出于给自己和他人留下深刻印象的愿望，我决定停止在网上查找资料，看看发生了什么。当我记不起《广告狂人》中的角色时，我没有立即转向手机，而是坐在那里，非常认真地思考。（啊哈！格雷格是他的名字。）于是我的新技能诞生了：最强大脑。)”可知，作者在2021年夏天开始训练自己，提高记忆力。故选A。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“I was frequently laughed at and made to feel stupid for sitting with my arms crossed. I was teased for not coming up with answers to things that no one on earth should know simply because I took an attitude against looking them up. (我经常因为双臂交叉坐着而被嘲笑，并感到自己很愚蠢。我被取笑没有对地球上没有人应该知道的事情给出答案，仅仅是因为我采取了不去查的态度。)”可知，其他人认为作者的行为很荒唐可笑的。故选C。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“I’ve never had a very good memory, but by summer of 2021, I saw the little memory that I did have disappear suddenly while Googling “ben afleCk brther bad 1.”(我的记忆力从来都不是很好，但到了2021夏天，我在谷歌上搜索“ben-afleCk brther bad 1”时，我发现自己的小记忆突然消失了。)”和第三段“Inspired by a desire to impress myself and others, I decided to stop looking stuff up online and see what happened. When I couldn’t remember the character from Mad Men, instead of instantly turning to my phone, I just sat there, thinking, very hard. (Aha! Greg was his name.) And so my new skill was born: Strong Brain. (出于给自己和他人留下深刻印象的愿望，我决定停止在网上查找资料，看看发生了什么。当我记不起《广告狂人》中的角色时，我没有立即转向手机，而是坐在那里，非常认真地思考。（啊哈！格雷格是他的名字。）于是我的新技能诞生了：最强大脑。)”可知，这篇文章主要讲述作者是如何通过最强大脑来提高自己的记忆力的事情，B项“我的最强大脑之路。”适合做文章标题。故选B。 C The brown paper bag hit the ground. A Michelin engineer picked it up and opened it, revealing a cracked, leaking egg. The third graders at A.J. Whittenberg Elementary School were disappointed when they saw the runny mess. It was engineering week at A.J. Whittenberg, a public primary school in Greenville, South Carolina. One week per month, engineers from local industries visit the classrooms and talk to students about their careers. Greenville is now introducing the idea of a career path to students in primary school and giving students the option to follow those programs to middle and high schools. Each primary school focuses on a specific technical skill. The district allows students to attend schools outside of their attendance boundaries as long as space is available, which means students can choose to continue to follow their chosen career pathway at a middle school with corresponding programs. The effort in Greenville is part of a growing national trend in which school districts partner with local industries to develop curriculum (课程) and expose students to specialized careers at a young age. Some education experts worry the focus on industry qualifications has resulted in schools taking on responsibilities that should fall to businesses, like training workers for specific job duties, damaging a more comprehensive education in schools. “Schools are to not just prepare people for work and strengthen the economy, but also a place where students should experience art, music and think creatively,” said Jack Schneider, a professor of education at the University of Massachusetts. A teacher from Greenville, however, said, “Career exposure has a big impact on kids. We’re not really wanting them to make a decision—‘I’m in the second grade and now I’m locked in to being whatever when I graduate from high school in 10 years.’ We just hope students walk across the graduation stage with plans for a career in mind.” Modern times need modern solutions. When students leave school, they need to be already down their road to college, if that’s what they’re going to do, or schools need to give them something that allows them to get to work and earn a living. Just getting out with a high school degree doesn’t do that. 8. Why were the third graders disappointed? A. Their test failed. B. The bag missed the target. C. Engineers disturbed them. D. They had to clean the ground. 9. What does Greenville do to help students follow their chosen path? A. Design more career paths. B. Invite engineers to their schools. C. Adopt the open enrollment policy. D. Offer more courses for them to choose. 10. What is Jack Schneider concerned about? A. People’s employment. B. Students’ overall development. C. The nation’s economy. D. The school’s innovative education. 11. Which statement would the author most likely agree with? A. Modern solutions are hard to find. B. More students need college education. C. Greenville’s practice is not acceptable. D. A high school degree is not enough for jobs. 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要讲述南卡罗来纳州格林维尔一所公立小学A.J.Whittenberg的工程周。每个月有一周，来自当地行业的工程师会参观教室，与学生谈论他们的职业生涯。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“The brown paper bag hit the ground. A Michelin engineer picked it up and opened it, revealing a cracked, leaking egg. The third graders at A.J. Whittenberg Elementary School were disappointed when they saw the runny mess. (棕色纸袋掉到地上了。米其林的一位工程师把它捡起来打开，发现一个破裂、漏蛋液的鸡蛋。当A.J.Whittenberg小学的三年级学生看到这些乱七八糟的东西时，他们很失望。)”可知，三年级学生看到这些乱七八糟的东西时，他们很失望，是因为他们的实验失败了。故选A。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Greenville is now introducing the idea of a career path to students in primary school and giving students the option to follow those programs to middle and high schools. Each primary school focuses on a specific technical skill. The district allows students to attend schools outside of their attendance boundaries as long as space is available, which means students can choose to continue to follow their chosen career pathway at a middle school with corresponding programs. (格林维尔现在正在向小学学生引入职业道路的想法，并让学生可以选择跟随这些项目进入中学和高中。每一所小学都专注于一项特定的技术技能。该学区允许学生在有空间的情况下就读于其入学界限之外的学校，这意味着学生可以选择在有相应项目的中学继续走他们选择的职业道路。)”可知，格林维尔采用开放招生政策来帮助学生走自己选择的道路。故选C。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段““Schools are to not just prepare people for work and strengthen the economy, but also a place where students should experience art, music and think creatively,” said Jack Schneider, a professor of education at the University of Massachusetts. (马萨诸塞大学教育学教授Jack Schneider说：“学校不仅要让人们为工作做好准备，加强经济，也是学生应该体验艺术、音乐和创造性思维的地方。”)”可知，Jack Schneider教授认为学生们一个要全面的发展。故选B。 11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Modern times need modern solutions. When students leave school, they need to be already down their road to college, if that’s what they’re going to do, or schools need to give them something that allows them to get to work and earn a living. Just getting out with a high school degree doesn’t do that. (现代需要现代的解决方案。当学生离开学校时，他们需要已经在上大学的路上了，如果这是他们要做的，或者学校需要给他们一些东西，让他们能够工作和谋生。仅仅获得高中学位并不能做到这一点。)”可知，高中学历并不能让学生们将来工作和谋生。故选D。 D Machine learning sees reasoning as a categorization task with a fixed set of predetermined labels. It views the world as a fixed space of possibilities, calculating and weighing them all. This approach, of course, has achieved notable successes when applied to stable and well-defined situations such as chess or computer games. When such conditions are absent, however, machines struggle. In 2008, Google launched Flu Trends, a web service that aimed to predict flu-related doctor visits using big data. The project, however, failed to predict the 2009 HINI flu outbreak. After several unsuccessful adjustments to its algorithm (算法), Google finally stopped the project in2015. In such unstable situations, the human brain behaves differently. Sometimes, it simply forgets. Instead of getting trapped in irrelevant data, it relies only on the most recent information and makes creative decisions. This is a feature called intelligent forgetting. Adopting this approach, an algorithm that relies on a single data point would have reduced Google Flu Trends' prediction error by half. Intelligent forgetting is just one dimension of psychological AI, an approach to machine intelligence that also includes other features of human intelligence such as causal reasoning, intuitive (直觉) psychology, and physics. Soon, this approach to Al will finally be recognized as fundamental for solving poorly-defined problems. Exploring these amazing features of the human brain will finally allow us to make machine learning smart. One feature of psychological Al is that it is explainable. Until recently, researchers assumed that the more transparent an AI system was, the less accurate its predictions were. This mirrored the widespread but incorrect belief that complex problems always need complex solutions. Now, this idea will be laid to rest. As the case of flu predictions illustrates, powerful and simple psychological algorithms can often give more accurate predictions than complex algorithms. Psychological AI opens up a new vision for explainable AI: Instead of trying to explain complex systems, we can check first if psychological Al offers a simple and equally accurate solution. Without the help of human psychology, it will become clearer that the application of this type of machine learning to unstable situations eventually runs up against impassable limitations. We will finally recognize that more computing power makes machines faster. Not smarter. 12. Why is Flu Trends mentioned? A. To clarify a concept. B. To tell the serious outbreak. C. To support the author's idea. D. To provide readers with the truth. 13. What is the advantage of human brain according to the passage? A. It can think outside the box. B. It can avoid unclear problems. C. It is capable of learning over time. D. It is good at following instructions. 14. Which has the similar meaning with the underlined word “transparent” in paragraph 5? A. Similar. B. Unique. C. Complete. D. Clear. 15. What does the author intend to tell us? A. AI speeds up the computing greatly. B. Psychological Al can make smarter AI. C. AI system works well in stable situations. D. AI will outperform the human brain someday. 【答案】12. C 13. A 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了心理人工智能可以让人工智能变得更聪明。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“This approach, of course, has achieved notable successes when applied to stable and well-defined situations such as chess or computer games. When such conditions are absent, however, machines struggle.”（当然，这种方法在应用于国际象棋或电脑游戏等稳定且定义明确的情况时取得了显著的成功。然而，当没有这样的条件时，机器就会显得很吃力。）根据第二段“In 2008, Google launched Flu Trends, a web service that aimed to predict flu-related doctor visits using big data. The project, however, failed to predict the 2009 HINI flu outbreak. After several unsuccessful adjustments to its algorithm (算法), Google finally stopped the project in2015.”（2008年，谷歌推出了流感趋势，这是一项旨在利用大数据预测流感相关医生就诊情况的网络服务。然而，该项目未能预测2009年中国流感的爆发。在对算法进行了几次失败的调整后，谷歌终于在2015年停止了该项目）可知，提到流感趋势是为了支持作者的观点。故选C项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“In such unstable situations, the human brain behaves differently. Sometimes, it simply forgets. Instead of getting trapped in irrelevant data, it relies only on the most recent information and makes creative decisions.”（在这种不稳定的情况下，人类的大脑会有不同的表现。有时候，它只是忘记了。它不会被无关的数据所困，而是只依赖于最新的信息，并做出创造性的决定。）可知，人脑的优势是它可以跳出框框思维。故选A项。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第五段“This mirrored the widespread but incorrect belief that complex problems always need complex solutions.”（这反映了一种普遍但不正确的观点，即复杂的问题总是需要复杂的解决方案）可知，直到最近，研究人员还认为人工智能系统越清晰，其预测就越不准确。故划线词的意思是“清晰的”。故选D。 15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文以及根据第四段“Exploring these amazing features of the human brain will finally allow us to make machine learning smart.”（探索人类大脑的这些惊人特征将最终使我们能够使机器学习变得智能。）根据最后一段“Without the help of human psychology, it will become clearer that the application of this type of machine learning to unstable situations eventually runs up against impassable limitations.”（如果没有人类心理学的帮助，将越来越清楚的是，将这种类型的机器学习应用于不稳定的情况最终会遇到不可逾越的限制）可知，作者想告诉我们心理人工智能可以让人工智能变得更聪明。故选B。 第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。 Accept Tricky Feelings Imagine that you only felt so-called positive feelings, like excitement, joy and safety. ____16____. Being human means we experience various emotions, even painful or uncomfortable ones. Accepting them is important and can improve your well-being. Do you notice uncomfortable feelings? When you accept that difficult emotions are normal and temporary, you’re often able to cope with them. Psychologists have found that people who allow themselves to feel a range of emotions, including painful ones, are often more at peace than people who try to avoid or push uncomfortable feelings away._____17_____ Does that mean all behaviour is OK? If you allow yourself to feel angry, for example, that doesn’t mean you can throw things around or behave unkindly. Anita Garai, a well-being teacher and author of Being With Our Feelings, says that if we allow ourselves to feel painful emotions,including anger, it’s less likely these feelings will boil over and result in unpleasant actions. “____18____,” she says. “By listening to them, you can learn more about your needs and choose the best way to respond.” ____19____? Garai suggeststhe first step is to notice and examine the uncomfortable feeling in your body. “Where in your body can you feel it? Is it still or moving? Can you describe the movement?” she says. It may be that the feeling reminds you of a colour, shape, sound or texture. “By paying attention to the feeling in this way, it’s less likely that you’ll ignore it,” explains Garai. ____20____. Many people find it comforting and inspiring to read about characters who accept, manage and overcome tricky emotions. A. Another tool is to read B. You may feel it’s like a wonderland C. It might sound great but it’s unrealistic D. Do you examine the tricky feelings in your body E. How can you learn to accept uncomfortable feelings F. Uncomfortable feelings actually help to keep us well G. By noticing tricky feelings and allowing them to exist, you are being kind to yourself 【答案】16. C 17. G 18. F 19. E 20. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。生而为人总是会有各种感受，积极的、消极的都有。我们要学会接受和正确处理消极的感受。 【16题详解】 根据上文“Imagine that you only felt so-called positive feelings, like excitement, joy and safety.(想象一下，你只感受到所谓的积极情绪，比如兴奋、喜悦和安全)”并结合本文让我们接受不好的情绪推知，空处内容与上文为转折关系，指出只感受到积极情绪是不现实的。C项“It might sound great but it’s unrealistic(这听起来可能很棒，但不现实)”符合语境，it指代上文提到的内容。故选C。 【17题详解】 空处位于段末，应承接上文。根据上文“Psychologists have found that people who allow themselves to feel a range of emotions, including painful ones, are often more at peace than people who try to avoid or push uncomfortable feelings away.(心理学家发现，那些允许自己感受一系列情绪，包括痛苦情绪的人，往往比那些试图避免或消除不舒服情绪的人更平静)”推知，空处应继续陈述让自己感受痛苦情绪的好处。G项“By noticing tricky feelings and allowing them to exist, you are being kind to yourself(注意到不好的感觉并允许它们存在，你就是在善待自己)”符合语境，承接上文。故选G。 【18题详解】 根据下文“By listening to them, you can learn more about your needs and choose the best way to respond.(通过倾听它们，你可以了解更多关于你的需求，并选择最佳的回应方式)”中的them并结合上文提到的anger是消极情绪推知，空处提到了一些消极情绪，通过倾听这些情绪我们可以更多地了解自己的需求。F项“Uncomfortable feelings actually help to keep us well(让人不舒服的情绪实际上有助于让我们保持健康)”符合语境，下文them指代选项中的Uncomfortable feelings。故选F。 【19题详解】 空处为本段小标题，结合上文几个小标题都是问句推知，空处也是一个高度概括的问句。根据下文“Garai suggeststhe first step is to notice and examine the uncomfortable feeling in your body. “Where in your body can you feel it? Is it still or moving? Can you describe the movement?” she says. It may be that the feeling reminds you of a colour, shape, sound or texture. “By paying attention to the feeling in this way, it’s less likely that you’ll ignore it,” explains Garai.(Garai建议，第一步是注意并检查你身体的不适感。她说：“你在身体的什么地方能感觉到它？它是静止的还是运动的？你能描述一下运动吗？”。这种感觉可能会让你想起某种颜色、形状、声音或质地。Garai解释道：“通过这种方式关注这种感觉，你就不太可能忽视它。”)”可知，本段主要介绍如何接受不舒服的感觉。E项“How can you learn to accept uncomfortable feelings(你如何才能学会接受不舒服的感觉)”符合本段主旨，可以作为小标题。故选E。 【20题详解】 根据上文“Garai suggeststhe first step is to notice and examine the uncomfortable feeling in your body.(Garai建议，第一步是注意并检查你身体的不适感)”推知，空处应介绍第二步或第二个方法应该做什么。A项“Another tool is to read(另一个方法是阅读)”符合题意，且引出下文“Many people find it comforting and inspiring to read about characters who accept, manage and overcome tricky emotions.(许多人读到那些接受、管理和克服棘手情绪的人物，会感到安慰和鼓舞)”。故选A。 第三部分 语言知识运用(共两节，满分45分) 第一节(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的 A、B、C 和 D 四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 In times of stress and depression, a friend would always suggest going for a walk.

So just imagine how many valuable experiences your elders can share with you. When you spend time volunteering with seniors, you'll benefit just as much as they do! We've put together some ideas for different ways to lend a hand, or a listening ear to seniors. Remember, simply giving your time and conversation can sometimes mean the most. Visit an assisted living facility One of the most meaningful things you can do for someone in an assisted living facility is share some quality time together. Whether you're going to see a neighbor or loved one, call ahead to plan a time to drop by. Even if your days fill up quickly, just a quick hello can brighten someone's day. Reach out locally Chances are that there are seniors right in your own neighborhood who could use your help. ●Some seniors' health prevents them from getting out. Keep them from feeling lonely by going for a visit or bringing over a meal. ●Offer to do many around-the-house chores for the seniors. Be a companion There are plenty of seniors who could use some company! And there are many programs and organizations that can match you up with the perfect senior friend in your area. ●With the Elder Helpers program, you can sign up to help in ways that fit your interests and skills. ●You can join the Senior Corps program to help older seniors with daily tasks. ●You can also volunteer to help aging seniors through organizations such as the National Council on Aging. Be a skillful talker You can learn from your older friends - many of their experiences may surprise you! But it can often be challenging to know just what to ask in order to start a conversation. ●Discover their passion: Does your friend love to cook? Ask them to share a favorite family recipe. They'll welcome the opportunity to chat about it. ●Discover their skills: Ask your friends about their skills and hobbies - sewing, woodworking, writing. Request that they teach you a thing or two. ●Make some artwork: Turn select pages of your memory book into wall art for their room, and so your friend can continuously recall good times. 1. What does the author intend to do through the text? A To explain how to make seniors happy. B. To introduce the benefits of volunteering. C. To encourage people to share experiences. D. To give a guide for volunteering with seniors. 2. How many programs and organizations are mentioned? A. 2. B. 3. C. 4. D. 5. 3. What is the “Be a skillful talker” part about? A. How to answer questions. B. How to make up stories. C. How to persuade the seniors. D. How to start a conversation. B Like most people, I had a lot of time on my hands these past few years, and I spent most of it on my phone. This, together with anxiety medication (药物治疗), has made my brain weak. I’ve never had a very good memory, but by summer of 2021, I saw the little memory that I did have disappear suddenly while Googling “ben afleCk brther bad 1.” I grew frustrated. I couldn’t remember the name of Joan Holloway’s military husband from Mad Men without looking it up, or the name of my college friend, who would come into my dorm regularly to talk about how much he worked out. None of this was especially useful or life-changing information, but I wanted to remember it without making a shameful mess of my search history. Inspired by a desire to impress myself and others, I decided to stop looking stuff up online and see what happened. When I couldn’t remember the character from Mad Men, instead of instantly turning to my phone, I just sat there, thinking, very hard. (Aha! Greg was his name.) And so my new skill was born: Strong Brain. For a few months I didn’t make any progress. Sometimes I would sit without knowing something for hours, well after whoever I was with had looked it up and had moved on to knowing the next thing that I couldn’t remember. I was frequently laughed at and made to feel stupid for sitting with my arms crossed. I was teased for not coming up with answers to things that no one on earth should know simply because I took an attitude against looking them up. But while the sounds of my haters got louder and louder, my brain beefed up in my defense. As friends tried to remember the name of the actor who played Robin Williams’s sweetheart in Jumanji, I spoke unthinkingly with ‘Bonnie Hunt’. If you’re like me and have always wanted to be the shiny, pretty person at a party that everyone is listening to and smiling at and wondering where she got her hair cut, I think Strong Brain is the party trick for you. 4. What do we learn about the author from paragraph 1? A. She was overusing the phone. B. She wasted a lot of time on the calls. C. She was addicted to anxiety medicine. D. She made many spelling errors while searching. 5. What did the author decide to do after the summer of 2021? A. Improve her recall. B. Seek help from medicine. C. Clear up her search history. D. Connect with her college friend. 6. What did other people think of the author’s new skill training? A. Difficult. B. Important. C. Ridiculous. D. Rewarding. 7. What is the best title of the text? A. My Concern over Anxiety. B. My Way to Be Brain-Strong. C. My Fight with High Technology. D. My Suffering from Poor Memory. C The brown paper bag hit the ground. A Michelin engineer picked it up and opened it, revealing a cracked, leaking egg. The third graders at A.J. Whittenberg Elementary School were disappointed when they saw the runny mess. It was engineering week at A.J. Whittenberg, a public primary school in Greenville, South Carolina. One week per month, engineers from local industries visit the classrooms and talk to students about their careers. Greenville is now introducing the idea of a career path to students in primary school and giving students the option to follow those programs to middle and high schools. Each primary school focuses on a specific technical skill. The district allows students to attend schools outside of their attendance boundaries as long as space is available, which means students can choose to continue to follow their chosen career pathway at a middle school with corresponding programs. The effort in Greenville is part of a growing national trend in which school districts partner with local industries to develop curriculum (课程) and expose students to specialized careers at a young age. Some education experts worry the focus on industry qualifications has resulted in schools taking on responsibilities that should fall to businesses, like training workers for specific job duties, damaging a more comprehensive education in schools. “Schools are to not just prepare people for work and strengthen the economy, but also a place where students should experience art, music and think creatively,” said Jack Schneider, a professor of education at the University of Massachusetts. A teacher from Greenville, however, said, “Career exposure has a big impact on kids. We’re not really wanting them to make a decision—‘I’m in the second grade and now I’m locked in to being whatever when I graduate from high school in 10 years.’ We just hope students walk across the graduation stage with plans for a career in mind.” Modern times need modern solutions. When students leave school, they need to be already down their road to college, if that’s what they’re going to do, or schools need to give them something that allows them to get to work and earn a living. Just getting out with a high school degree doesn’t do that. 8. Why were the third graders disappointed? A. Their test failed. B. The bag missed the target. C. Engineers disturbed them. D. They had to clean the ground. 9. What does Greenville do to help students follow their chosen path? A. Design more career paths. B. Invite engineers to their schools. C. Adopt the open enrollment policy. D. Offer more courses for them to choose. 10. What is Jack Schneider concerned about? A. People’s employment. B. Students’ overall development. C. The nation’s economy. D. The school’s innovative education. 11. Which statement would the author most likely agree with? A. Modern solutions are hard to find. B. More students need college education. C. Greenville’s practice is not acceptable. D. A high school degree is not enough for jobs. D Machine learning sees reasoning as a categorization task with a fixed set of predetermined labels. It views the world as a fixed space of possibilities, calculating and weighing them all. This approach, of course, has achieved notable successes when applied to stable and well-defined situations such as chess or computer games. When such conditions are absent, however, machines struggle. In 2008, Google launched Flu Trends, a web service that aimed to predict flu-related doctor visits using big data. The project, however, failed to predict the 2009 HINI flu outbreak. After several unsuccessful adjustments to its algorithm (算法), Google finally stopped the project in2015. In such unstable situations, the human brain behaves differently. Sometimes, it simply forgets. Instead of getting trapped in irrelevant data, it relies only on the most recent information and makes creative decisions. This is a feature called intelligent forgetting. Adopting this approach, an algorithm that relies on a single data point would have reduced Google Flu Trends' prediction error by half. Intelligent forgetting is just one dimension of psychological AI, an approach to machine intelligence that also includes other features of human intelligence such as causal reasoning, intuitive (直觉) psychology, and physics. Soon, this approach to Al will finally be recognized as fundamental for solving poorly-defined problems. Exploring these amazing features of the human brain will finally allow us to make machine learning smart. One feature of psychological Al is that it is explainable. Until recently, researchers assumed that the more transparent an AI system was, the less accurate its predictions were. This mirrored the widespread but incorrect belief that complex problems always need complex solutions. Now, this idea will be laid to rest. As the case of flu predictions illustrates, powerful and simple psychological algorithms can often give more accurate predictions than complex algorithms. Psychological AI opens up a new vision for explainable AI: Instead of trying to explain complex systems, we can check first if psychological Al offers a simple and equally accurate solution. Without the help of human psychology, it will become clearer that the application of this type of machine learning to unstable situations eventually runs up against impassable limitations. We will finally recognize that more computing power makes machines faster. Not smarter. 12. Why is Flu Trends mentioned? A. To clarify a concept. B. To tell the serious outbreak. C. To support the author's idea. D. To provide readers with the truth. 13. What is the advantage of human brain according to the passage? A. It can think outside the box. B. It can avoid unclear problems. C. It is capable of learning over time. D. It is good at following instructions. 14. Which has the similar meaning with the underlined word “transparent” in paragraph 5? A. Similar. B. Unique. C. Complete. D. Clear. 15. What does the author intend to tell us? A. AI speeds up the computing greatly. B. Psychological Al can make smarter AI. C. AI system works well in stable situations. D AI will outperform the human brain someday. 第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。 Accept Tricky Feelings Imagine that you only felt so-called positive feelings, like excitement, joy and safety. ____16____. Being human means we experience various emotions, even painful or uncomfortable ones. Accepting them is important and can improve your well-being. Do you notice uncomfortable feelings? When you accept that difficult emotions are normal and temporary, you’re often able to cope with them. Psychologists have found that people who allow themselves to feel a range of emotions, including painful ones, are often more at peace than people who try to avoid or push uncomfortable feelings away._____17_____ Does that mean all behaviour is OK? If you allow yourself to feel angry, for example, that doesn’t mean you can throw things around or behave unkindly.

Garai suggeststhe first step is to notice and examine the uncomfortable feeling in your body. “Where in your body can you feel it? Is it still or moving? Can you describe the movement?” she says. It may be that the feeling reminds you of a colour, shape, sound or texture. “By paying attention to the feeling in this way, it’s less likely that you’ll ignore it,” explains Garai. ____20____. Many people find it comforting and inspiring to read about characters who accept, manage and overcome tricky emotions. A. Another tool is to read B. You may feel it’s like a wonderland C. It might sound great but it’s unrealistic D. Do you examine the tricky feelings in your body E. How can you learn to accept uncomfortable feelings F.
