In the man-dominated finance world, it was hard for me to climb the ladder. I decided to make a change. So I left my job, wondering what would be my next step. The following year witnessed me taking various classes to find what I was passionate about until the science of making bread appealed to me, which brought me waves of excitement. In 2017, my husband and I moved to Lansdale, where I got a certificate from a 12-week general baking program. I had intended to open a bakery, but the high rent and the slight chance of gaining money soon discouraged me from taking a risk. When seeing that baking bread was a locally lost art, I figured that teaching baking classes could be my choice. Yet, my accent and my born shyness put me at disadvantage in public speaking. At the critical moment, my husband was the one who told me, “You can do this. ” In 2018, I rented space in Lansdale and created Vituperio Artisan Breads &. Studio. I started small by offering free classes, not knowing whether I could make it. To deal with my initial nervousness, I approached teaching like I were an actor until I got myself comfortable in the class. In this way I not only tested myself but also learnt about what those attendants were interested in and capable of, thus attracting more people to my baking classes. All the classes were in person until March 2020, when I had to switch to teaching online. People told me it was a blessing and a joy to be able to make tasty bread during the pandemic. As an immigrant, I took the initial leap of faith down a new path to start a business from scratch, hard as it might be. Looking forward, I’d like to bring more teens into the studio to give them the skills to consider a career in this field. 4. Why did the author choose to leave her job in finance? A.

Her husband’s support at the crucial moment. 6. How did the author try to get over her early nervousness? A. Behaving like a performer in class. B. Pretending to be comfortable in public. C. Transferring to teaching baking online. D. Offering small classes to the attendants. 7. What did the author think about her experience? A. Smooth. B. Valuable. C. Ordinary. D. Regretful. 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. A 7. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述作者从金融行业辞职，转行开烘焙店并教授烘焙课程。这个转行的经历考验并锻炼了作者，并为疫情期间的人们带来了幸福和喜悦。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“In the man-dominated finance world, it was hard for me to climb the ladder.

(在男人主导的金融界中，我很难出人头地。我决定做出改变)”可知，因为作者在金融界很难晋升和出人头地，所以作者要换工作，故选C。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“At the critical moment, my husband was the one who told me, “You can do this.” (在关键时刻，我的丈夫告诉我，“你做得到。”)”可知，作者的丈夫支持她的选择，故推知关键时刻，是丈夫的支持使作者开始她的烘焙课程，故选D。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“To deal with my initial nervousness, I approached teaching like I were an actor until I got myself comfortable in the class.

He inspects the progress of the animals by looking at a computer screen. That is all he has to do. “The door opens up, they walk in, and they get milked. The door opens up, and they walk out.” The robot does all the work. It uses a laser to find each teat (乳头) — the place on the cow where the milk comes out. The robot then cleans the teat and connects a milking tube to it. The robot also tests the milk for possible contamination (污染). If it finds a problem, it rejects the milk. When the amount of milk coming out of the cow slows, the machine knows to stop, and sends the cow on its way. Milking robots are becoming popular among dairy farmers in the United States, Europe and Australia. John Fendrick says the robots have changed life on a dairy farm. “You are giving the freedom back. So it allows me or the people working for me to actually do other things on the farm.” Most dairy farmers must milk their cows two times a day, early in the morning and late at night. The animals are milked every day in good weather or bad. But Mr. Fendrick’s cows do not follow such a schedule. They stay in the field until they want to be milked by the robot. Some of them come to be milked in the middle of the night. Mr. Fendrick doesn’t even need to be there to watch his cows being milked. He can watch from his telephone. He can learn when each cow was milked and how much she produced. He can also learn if a cow has not been milked for a long time. And he says that is a good thing. “I don’t like to milk.” With the robot, he can turn his attention to other things. He gets about 475 litres of milk a day, and he never has to touch a cow. 8. Which of the following shows the correct process of the robot milking cows? a. cleaning the teat b. testing the milk c. letting cows go d. rejecting or accepting the milk A. a, d, b, c B. b, a, d, c C. b, d, a, c D. a, b, d, c 9. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A. The laser. B. The robot. C. The teat. D. The cow. 10. According to Paragraph 4, robot milkers ________. A. may help cows produce more milk B. can milk cows at any time daily C. follow a strict schedule to milk cows D. only milk cows in good weather 11. The reason why Mr. Fendrick doesn’t even have to be on the farm is that ________. A. he can watch and learn from his telephone B. he has completely been replaced by robots C. robots will tell him all by telephone D. he is not the person on call to milk 【答案】8. D 9. B 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了机器人挤奶工在美国、欧洲和澳大利亚的奶牛场越来越受欢迎，以及机器人挤奶的过程和优势。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The robot does all the work. It uses a laser to find each teat (乳头) — the place on the cow where the milk comes out. The robot then cleans the teat and connects a milking tube to it. The robot also tests the milk for possible contamination (污染). If it finds a problem, it rejects the milk. When the amount of milk coming out of the cow slows, the machine knows to stop, and sends the cow on its way. (机器人做所有的工作。它用激光找到每个乳头——奶牛身上出奶的地方。然后，机器人清洁乳头，并将挤奶管连接到乳头上。机器人还会检测牛奶是否可能受到污染。如果发现问题，它会拒绝牛奶。当奶牛的出奶量减少时，机器知道要停下来，让奶牛走开。)”可知，机器人挤奶的过程是：找到乳头，清洁乳头，检测牛奶，决定是否接受牛奶，最后让奶牛离开。因此，正确的顺序是a，b，d，c。故选D项。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段“The robot also tests the milk for possible contamination (污染). If it finds a problem, it rejects the milk.(机器人还会检测牛奶是否可能受到污染。如果发现问题，它会拒绝牛奶。)”和指代关系可知，机器人会检测牛奶，如果发现问题，它会拒绝牛奶，所以指示代词“it”指的是机器人。故选B项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Most dairy farmers must milk their cows two times a day, early in the morning and late at night. The animals are milked every day in good weather or bad. But Mr. Fendrick’s cows do not follow such a schedule. They stay in the field until they want to be milked by the robot. Some of them come to be milked in the middle of the night. (大多数奶农必须每天给奶牛挤两次奶，一大早和深夜。不管天气好坏，这些动物每天都要挤奶。但是芬德里克先生的奶牛不遵循这样的时间表。它们待在田野里，直到想被机器人挤奶。有些奶牛在半夜来挤奶。)”可知，机器人挤奶工可以随时为奶牛挤奶，不受时间限制。故选B项。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“Mr. Fendrick doesn’t even need to be there to watch his cows being milked. He can watch from his telephone. He can learn when each cow was milked and how much she produced. He can also learn if a cow has not been milked for a long time. (芬德里克先生甚至不需要在那里看着他的奶牛被挤奶。他可以通过电话观看。他可以知道每头奶牛什么时候被挤奶，产了多少奶。他还可以知道一头奶牛是否很久没有被挤奶了。)”可知，芬德里克先生甚至不需要在农场是因为他可以通过电话观看并了解奶牛的挤奶情况。故选A项。 D Online programs to fight depression are already commercially available. While they sound efficient and cost-saving, a recent study reports that they're not effective, primarily because depressed patients are not likely to engage with them or stick with them. The study looked at computer-assisted cognitive (认知的) behavioral therapy (CBT) and found that it was no more effective in treating depression than the usual care patients receive from a primary care doctor. Traditional CBT is considered an effective form of talk therapy for depression, helping people challenge negative thoughts and change the way they think in order to change their mood and behaviors. However, online CBT programs have been gaining popularity, with the attraction of providing low-cost help wherever someone has access to a computer. A team of researchers from the University of York conducted a randomized (随机的) control trial with 691 depressed patients from 83 physician practices across England. The patients were split into three groups: one group received only usual care from a physician while the other two groups received usual care from a physician plus one of two computerized CBT programs. Participants were balanced across the three groups for age, sex, educational background, severity and duration of depression, and use of antidepressants(抗抑郁药). After four months, the patients using the computerized CBT programs had no improvement in depression levels over the patients who were only getting usual care from their doctors. "It's an important, warning note that we shouldn't get too carried away with the idea that a computer system can replace doctors and therapists," says Christopher Dowrick, a professor of primary medical care at the University of Liverpool. "We do still need the human touch or the human interaction, particularly when people are depressed. " "Being depressed can mean feeling lost in your own small, negative, dark world," Dowrick says. Having a person, instead of a computer, reach out to you is particularly important in fighting that sense of isolation. "When you're emotionally fragile, you're even more in need of a caring human being," he says. 12. What does the recent study say about online CBT programs? A. Patients may not be able to carry them through for effective cure. B. Patients cannot engage with them without the use of a computer. C. They can save patients trouble visiting physicians. D. They have been well received by a lot of patients' 13. What has made online CBT programs increasingly popular? A. Their effectiveness in combating depression B. The low efficiency of traditional talk therapy. C. Their easy and inexpensive access by patients. D. The recommendation by primary care doctors. 14. What is Professor Dowrick's advice concerning online CBT programs? A. They should not be neglected in primary care. B. Their effectiveness should not be overestimated. C. They should be used by strictly following instructions. D. Their use should be encouraged by doctors and therapists. 15. Which is more important to an emotionally vulnerable person? A. A positive state of mind. B. Appropriate medication. C. Timely encouragement. D. Human interaction. 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。本文主要对计算机辅助认知行为疗法（CBT）进行了研究，研究其对治疗抑郁症是否有作用。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段的While they sound efficient and cost-saving, a recent study reports that they're not effective, primarily because depressed patients are not likely to engage with them or stick with them. (尽管它们听起来有效而且节省开支，但最近的一项研究报告称它们并没有效果，主要是因为抑郁症患者不太可能参与它们或者坚持治疗)可知，最近的一项研究认为抑郁症患者可能不会坚持使用CBT进行有效的治疗。A. Patients may not be able to carry them through for effective cure. (病人可能不会坚持使用它们进行有效的治疗)符合以上说法，故选A项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段的However, online CBT programs have been gaining popularity, with the attraction of providing low-cost help wherever someone has access to a computer.(然而，CBT治疗变得越来越受欢迎，是因为它可以提供低消费的帮助，只要人们可以使用电脑)可知CBT治疗受欢迎是因为价格低廉，且很容易获得。C. Their easy and inexpensive access by patients. (病人可以方便、便宜地获得它们)符合以上给说法，故选C项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的"It's an important, warning note that we shouldn't get too carried away with the idea that a computer system can replace doctors and therapists," says Christopher Dowrick, (克里斯托弗.多威克说：“这是一个重要的警告，我们不应过于相信计算机系统可以取代医生和治疗师。”)可推测Christopher Dowrick认为人们不应高估计算机系统治疗的效果。B. Their effectiveness should not be overestimated. (它们的效果不应被高估)符合以上说法，故选B项。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段的"When you're emotionally fragile, you're even more in need of a caring human being," he says. (他说：“当你情绪脆弱时，你更需要一个有爱心的人。”)可知，对于一个情感脆弱的人来说，人类的安慰和陪伴更重要。D. Human interaction. (人类的互动)符合以上说法，故选D项。 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人空白处的最佳选项. 选项中有两项为多余选项。 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。 How to Improve Your English One of the most important questions that every student asks is how to improve your English.

The thought of talking to new people or being the center of attention made my heart race and palms sweat. As I entered middle school, this shyness turned into social anxiety, making it even harder for me to interact with my peers. One day, during a class presentation, I stumbled (结巴) over my words and everyone laughed. I felt extremely ashamed. That only made my social anxiety worse, and I started avoiding speaking in front of others. My parents noticed my struggle and suggested I talk to our family therapist (治疗专家), Dr. Smith. At first, I hesitated, but I knew I needed help. During our first period, Dr. Smith explained that social anxiety was a common issue and there were ways to overcome it. She recommended some effective treatments. Over the next few months, I attended weekly treatment with Dr. Smith. Slowly but surely, I began to feel more confident in myself. As part of the treatment, Dr. Smith encouraged me to take part in school events and clubs that interested me. It was terrifying to put myself out there, but I knew it was necessary for my growth. 注意： 1.续写词数应为120左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 A few days later, a school speech contest was to be held. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After the contest, I went to visit Dr. Smith happily. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】A few days later, a school speech contest was to be held.

B After working seven years in finance in Chile, I started questioning my career choice. In the man-dominated finance world, it was hard for me to climb the ladder. I decided to make a change. So I left my job, wondering what would be my next step. The following year witnessed me taking various classes to find what I was passionate about until the science of making bread appealed to me, which brought me waves of excitement. In 2017, my husband and I moved to Lansdale, where I got a certificate from a 12-week general baking program. I had intended to open a bakery, but the high rent and the slight chance of gaining money soon discouraged me from taking a risk. When seeing that baking bread was a locally lost art, I figured that teaching baking classes could be my choice. Yet, my accent and my born shyness put me at disadvantage in public speaking. At the critical moment, my husband was the one who told me, “You can do this. ” In 2018, I rented space in Lansdale and created Vituperio Artisan Breads &. Studio. I started small by offering free classes, not knowing whether I could make it. To deal with my initial nervousness, I approached teaching like I were an actor until I got myself comfortable in the class. In this way I not only tested myself but also learnt about what those attendants were interested in and capable of, thus attracting more people to my baking classes. All the classes were in person until March 2020, when I had to switch to teaching online. People told me it was a blessing and a joy to be able to make tasty bread during the pandemic. As an immigrant, I took the initial leap of faith down a new path to start a business from scratch, hard as it might be. Looking forward, I’d like to bring more teens into the studio to give them the skills to consider a career in this field. 4. Why did the author choose to leave her job in finance? A. She hoped to do what she liked best. B. Her professional skills were questioned. C. She had little chance of getting promoted. D. Finance failed to bring her any excitement. 5. What made it possible for the author to start her own baking class? A. Her previous experience in finance. B. The declining house rent in the area. C. The local people’s desire for baking skills. D. Her husband’s support at the crucial moment. 6. How did the author try to get over her early nervousness? A. Behaving like a performer in class. B. Pretending to be comfortable in public. C. Transferring to teaching baking online. D. Offering small classes to the attendants. 7. What did the author think about her experience? A. Smooth. B. Valuable. C. Ordinary. D. Regretful. C The Future of Dairy Farming: Robot Milkers John Fendrick is the owner of the farm. He inspects the progress of the animals by looking at a computer screen. That is all he has to do. “The door opens up, they walk in, and they get milked. The door opens up, and they walk out.” The robot does all the work. It uses a laser to find each teat (乳头) — the place on the cow where the milk comes out. The robot then cleans the teat and connects a milking tube to it. The robot also tests the milk for possible contamination (污染). If it finds a problem, it rejects the milk. When the amount of milk coming out of the cow slows, the machine knows to stop, and sends the cow on its way. Milking robots are becoming popular among dairy farmers in the United States, Europe and Australia. John Fendrick says the robots have changed life on a dairy farm. “You are giving the freedom back. So it allows me or the people working for me to actually do other things on the farm.” Most dairy farmers must milk their cows two times a day, early in the morning and late at night. The animals are milked every day in good weather or bad. But Mr. Fendrick’s cows do not follow such a schedule. They stay in the field until they want to be milked by the robot. Some of them come to be milked in the middle of the night. Mr. Fendrick doesn’t even need to be there to watch his cows being milked. He can watch from his telephone. He can learn when each cow was milked and how much she produced. He can also learn if a cow has not been milked for a long time. And he says that is a good thing. “I don’t like to milk.” With the robot, he can turn his attention to other things. He gets about 475 litres of milk a day, and he never has to touch a cow. 8. Which of the following shows the correct process of the robot milking cows? a. cleaning the teat b. testing the milk c. letting cows go d. rejecting or accepting the milk A. a, d, b, c B. b, a, d, c C. b, d, a, c D. a, b, d, c 9. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A. The laser. B. The robot. C. The teat. D. The cow. 10. According to Paragraph 4, robot milkers ________. A. may help cows produce more milk B. can milk cows at any time daily C. follow a strict schedule to milk cows D. only milk cows in good weather 11. The reason why Mr. Fendrick doesn’t even have to be on the farm is that ________. A. he can watch and learn from his telephone B. he has completely been replaced by robots C. robots will tell him all by telephone D. he is not the person on call to milk D Online programs to fight depression are already commercially available. While they sound efficient and cost-saving, a recent study reports that they're not effective, primarily because depressed patients are not likely to engage with them or stick with them. The study looked at computer-assisted cognitive (认知的) behavioral therapy (CBT) and found that it was no more effective in treating depression than the usual care patients receive from a primary care doctor. Traditional CBT is considered an effective form of talk therapy for depression, helping people challenge negative thoughts and change the way they think in order to change their mood and behaviors. However, online CBT programs have been gaining popularity, with the attraction of providing low-cost help wherever someone has access to a computer. A team of researchers from the University of York conducted a randomized (随机的) control trial with 691 depressed patients from 83 physician practices across England. The patients were split into three groups: one group received only usual care from a physician while the other two groups received usual care from a physician plus one of two computerized CBT programs. Participants were balanced across the three groups for age, sex, educational background, severity and duration of depression, and use of antidepressants(抗抑郁药). After four months, the patients using the computerized CBT programs had no improvement in depression levels over the patients who were only getting usual care from their doctors. "It's an important, warning note that we shouldn't get too carried away with the idea that a computer system can replace doctors and therapists," says Christopher Dowrick, a professor of primary medical care at the University of Liverpool. "We do still need the human touch or the human interaction, particularly when people are depressed. " "Being depressed can mean feeling lost in your own small, negative, dark world," Dowrick says. Having a person, instead of a computer, reach out to you is particularly important in fighting that sense of isolation. "When you're emotionally fragile, you're even more in need of a caring human being," he says. 12. What does the recent study say about online CBT programs? A. Patients may not be able to carry them through for effective cure. B. Patients cannot engage with them without the use of a computer. C. They can save patients trouble visiting physicians. D. They have been well received by a lot of patients' 13. What has made online CBT programs increasingly popular? A. Their effectiveness in combating depression B. The low efficiency of traditional talk therapy. C. Their easy and inexpensive access by patients. D. The recommendation by primary care doctors. 14. What is Professor Dowrick's advice concerning online CBT programs? A. They should not be neglected in primary care. B. Their effectiveness should not be overestimated. C. They should be used by strictly following instructions. D. Their use should be encouraged by doctors and therapists. 15. Which is more important to an emotionally vulnerable person? A. A positive state of mind. B. Appropriate medication. C. Timely encouragement. D. Human interaction. 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人空白处的最佳选项. 选项中有两项为多余选项。 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。 How to Improve Your English One of the most important questions that every student asks is how to improve your English.

The thought of talking to new people or being the center of attention made my heart race and palms sweat. As I entered middle school, this shyness turned into social anxiety, making it even harder for me to interact with my peers. One day, during a class presentation, I stumbled (结巴) over my words and everyone laughed. I felt extremely ashamed. That only made my social anxiety worse, and I started avoiding speaking in front of others. My parents noticed my struggle and suggested I talk to our family therapist (治疗专家), Dr. Smith. At first, I hesitated, but I knew I needed help. During our first period, Dr. Smith explained that social anxiety was a common issue and there were ways to overcome it. She recommended some effective treatments. Over the next few months, I attended weekly treatment with Dr. Smith. Slowly but surely, I began to feel more confident in myself. As part of the treatment, Dr. Smith encouraged me to take part in school events and clubs that interested me. It was terrifying to put myself out there, but I knew it was necessary for my growth. 注意： 1.续写词数应为120左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 A few days later, a school speech contest was to be held. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After the contest, I went to visit Dr. Smith happily. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
