A
When I was 12, my father decided to take me on a trip to France. I had never been out of the country before, so I was very excited. My aunt, my father and I went around with my father showing us all the unbelievable attractions in Paris. None of us spoke much French but we loved the city.
We had taken the subway all over the city and were congratulating ourselves on our understanding of what is honestly a good subway design that is pretty easy to follow. We decided to visit Versailles by train. We chatted happily along the way until my father realized we were far into the French countryside and no one around spoke English.
We reached the end of the line and felt terrible when everyone finally left the train. An old man and his grandchild noticed us and came up to help. He spoke no English, so in broken French we tried to explain. When he finally understood, this great man settled his grandson and showed us to the correct train and then got on it with us.
Later we knew the truth that there was a train transfer(换乘) and he didn’t want us to miss it. This kind man rode a train an hour and a half out of his way to make sure that three Americans got where they wanted to be. He refused to let us pay for his ticket. He did it all with a gentle smile and shook our hands gently at the stop. Then with his quiet way, he got on the train to return the way he had come.
What impressed me most was the man and his kindness during the amazing trip. Some Americans think the French are rude for some reason, but I always try to make them change their minds with this story.
13. What happened to the author and his family on the train?
A. They failed to get off the train at the right time. B. They couldn’t understand the signs of the train.
C. They had a quarrel about where to go first. D. They found it hard to live in the countryside.
14. How did the man help the author and his family?
A. By paying for their train tickets. B. By leading them to where they wanted to be.
C. By inviting them to travel together. D. By showing them the return way.
15. What impressed the writer most about the old man?
A. His honesty B. His kindness C. His responsibility D. His challenge
16. What’s the purpose of the author’s writing the passage?
A. To explain an unexpected problem.
B. To list the unbelievable attractions in Paris.
C. To show the importance of learning a foreign language.
D. To share an unforgettable travel experience.

B
Tears can ruin make-up, bring conversation to a stop, and give you a runny nose. They can leave you embarrassed and without energy. However, crying is a fact of life, and tears are very useful. Even when you’re not crying, your eyes produce tears. They create a film (薄膜) over the eyes’ surface. This film contains a substance that protects your eyes against infection.
Tears relieve stress, but we tend to fight them for all sorts of reasons. “People worry about showing their emotions. They’re afraid that once they lose control, they’ll never get it back,” explains psychologist Dorothy Rowe. “As children we were sometimes punished for shedding tears or expressing anger. As adults we still fear the results of showing emotions.”
Almost any emotion (情感) — good or bad, happy or sad — can cause tears. Crying is a way that we release built-up emotions. Tears help you when you feel you are ready to explode because of very strong feelings. It may explain why people who are afraid to cry often suffer more heart attacks than people who cry more freely.
When some people become very stressed, however, they can’t cry. They may be feeling shock, anger, fear or grief, but they repress (抑制) the emotion. “Everyone has the need to cry,” says Professor Vera Diamond. Sometimes in therapy sessions, patients take part in crying exercises. They practice crying so that they can get used to expressing the emotion. Diamond says it’s best to cry in safe, private places, like under the bedcovers or in the car. That’s because many people get uncomfortable when others cry in front of them. In fact, they may be repressing their own need to cry.
In certain situations, such as at work, tears are not suitable. It’s good to hold back tears during a tense business discussion. “But once you are safely behind closed doors, don’t just cry,” Diamond says. She suggests that you act out the whole situation again and be as noisy and angry as you like. It will help you feel better. “And,” she adds, “once your tears have released the stress, you can begin to think of logical ways to deal with the problem.”
Tears are a sign of our ability to feel. You should never be afraid to cry.
17. What can crying help us?
A. It can make us feel energetic. B. It can help us reduce fear.
C. It can help us release tension. D. It can let us escape from reality.
18. What can we learn from Vera Diamond’s opinion about crying from time to time?
A. It should be valued. B. It must be forgiven.
C. It may be avoided. D. It can be practiced.
19. What are you expected to do in a tense business discussion?
A. Control your tears. B. Be brave to express your emotions.
C. Release your stress with tears. D. Create a comfortable atmosphere.
20. What is the text mainly about?
A. How to release stress. B. How to express emotions.
C. The value of tears. D. Ways to repress emotions in public.
【答案】17. C 18. D 19. A 20. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文讲述了眼泪的作用和意义,强调了眼泪在释放压力、表达情感和保护眼睛方面的重要性,同时探讨了人们在公共场合抑制眼泪的原因以及如何在适当场合释放情绪。
【17题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Tears relieve stress. (眼泪可以缓解压力。)”和第三段“Crying is a way that we release built-up emotions. Tears help you when you feel you are ready to explode because of very strong feelings. (哭泣是我们释放积压情绪的一种方式。当你因为强烈的情绪而感到要爆发时,眼泪会帮助你。)”可知,哭泣可以帮助我们释放紧张和压力。故选C。
【18题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Sometimes in therapy sessions, patients take part in crying exercises. They practice crying so that they can get used to expressing the emotion. (有时在治疗过程中,患者会参加哭泣练习。他们练习哭泣,以便习惯表达这种情感。)”可知,Vera Diamond认为哭泣是可以被练习的。故选D。
【19题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“It’s good to hold back tears during a tense business discussion. (在紧张的商务讨论中,忍住眼泪是件好事。)”可知,在紧张的商务讨论中,你应该控制你的眼泪。故选A。
【20题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“However, crying is a fact of life, and tears are very useful .(然而,哭泣是生活的一部分,眼泪是非常有用的。)”和接下来文章从多个角度阐述了眼泪的作用和价值,包括保护眼睛、缓解压力、释放情绪等可知,这篇文章主要讲的是眼泪的价值。故选C。
C
If you’re someone who has been worrying about the rise of the robots, hold on there just a second and let them help you impress your friends with some newfound skills in a foreign language. Using artificial intelligence (AI) to help us learn and improve those skills is not new. Some of the online language tools we turn to every day are powered by AI.
But as new technologies flood into the market, now is a great time to take advantage of the technology. And according to experts, these tools aren’t replacing teachers; they’re making their lives easier. One of the things that stops some of us from practising speaking in a new language is a lack of self-confidence. AI can help — chatbots because don’t judge you. Of course, teachers don’t either, but for some people, communicating with a bot may remove that fear of failure or shyness.
The latest chatbots use something called natural language processing that allows them to understand human speech or writing, providing a human-like response right away. While chatbots are extremely useful for learners working solely, teachers can also offer course material and ask an AI system to produce personalized textbooks for groups of students. The AI can also provide feedback in seconds. Gone are the days of waiting a week for work to be graded.
Past online language tools and games were able to tell you when you were wrong, but they weren’t always able to explain why. Now, not only has that changed, but the explanations are detailed and immediate. But this is not to underestimate (低估) the role of the teachers, who can use the technology to help learn more about the strengths and weaknesses of their students and personalize their teaching.
So, if you want to impress your friends with your perfect speech, don’t be afraid of AI. Just think of it as a useful tool for both teachers and language learners, which will give you more time and space to enjoy learning something new!
21. In which aspect does AI mainly help language learners according to Paragraph 2?
A. Getting useful learning methods. B. Improving time management.
C. Remembering more words. D. Building their confidence.
22. What is the effect of AI on teachers?
A. Replacing their jobs. B. Making teaching easier.
C. Increasing work pressure. D. Collecting more feedback.
23. What does the underlined word “feedback” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. impression B. behaviour C. response D. arrangement
24. What does the author think of the teachers’ roles in the age of AI?
A. Teachers are still important. B. Teachers will be replaced by robots soon.
C. Experienced teachers are more popular. D. Teachers are better than robots in language learning.
【答案】21. D 22. B 23. C 24. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,文章主要讲的是人工智能在语言学习中带给人们的好处。
【21题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“One of the things that stops some of us from practising speaking in a new language is a lack of self-confidence. AI can help — chatbots because don’t judge you.(阻碍我们中一些人练习使用新语言的一个因素是缺乏自信。人工智能可以帮助学习——因为聊天机器人不会评判你。)”可知,AI主要通过建立学习者的自信来帮助语言学习者。故选D。
【22题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“But as new technologies flood into the market, now is a great time to take advantage of the technology. And according to experts, these tools aren’t replacing teachers; they’ re making their lives easier.(但随着新技术大量涌入市场,现在正是充分利用这些技术的好时机。而且据专家称,这些工具并非要取代教师,而是让他们的工作变得更加轻松)”可知,AI技术使得教师的工作变得更加轻松。故选B。
【23题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“Gone are the days of waiting a week for work to be graded.(等待一周才能收到作业评分的日子已经一去不复返了)”可知,等待一周才能收到作业评分的日子已经一去不复返了,因为AI可以提供及时回复。故划线词意思是“回复”。故选C。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“But this is not to underestimate (低估) the role of the teachers, who can use the technology to help learn more about the strengths and weaknesses of their students and personalize their teaching.(但这并不是要低估教师的作用,他们能够利用这些技术来更好地了解学生的优势和不足,并实现教学的个性化)”可知,作者认为即使在AI时代,教师的角色仍然是重要的,他们可以通过技术更好地了解学生的优点和不足,并个性化教学。故选A。

【56题详解】

When I was 12, my father decided to take me on a trip to France. I had never been out of the country before, so I was very excited. My aunt, my father and I went around with my father showing us all the unbelievable attractions in Paris. None of us spoke much French but we loved the city.
We had taken the subway all over the city and were congratulating ourselves on our understanding of what is honestly a good subway design that is pretty easy to follow. We decided to visit Versailles by train. We chatted happily along the way until my father realized we were far into the French countryside and no one around spoke English.
We reached the end of the line and felt terrible when everyone finally left the train. An old man and his grandchild noticed us and came up to help. He spoke no English, so in broken French we tried to explain. When he finally understood, this great man settled his grandson and showed us to the correct train and then got on it with us.
Later we knew the truth that there was a train transfer(换乘) and he didn’t want us to miss it. This kind man rode a train an hour and a half out of his way to make sure that three Americans got where they wanted to be. He refused to let us pay for his ticket. He did it all with a gentle smile and shook our hands gently at the stop. Then with his quiet way, he got on the train to return the way he had come.
What impressed me most was the man and his kindness during the amazing trip. Some Americans think the French are rude for some reason, but I always try to make them change their minds with this story.
13. What happened to the author and his family on the train?
A. They failed to get off the train at the right time. B. They couldn’t understand the signs of the train.
C. They had a quarrel about where to go first. D. They found it hard to live in the countryside.
14. How did the man help the author and his family?
A. By paying for their train tickets. B. By leading them to where they wanted to be.
C. By inviting them to travel together. D. By showing them the return way.
15. What impressed the writer most about the old man?
A. His honesty B. His kindness C. His responsibility D. His challenge
16. What’s the purpose of the author’s writing the passage?
A. To explain an unexpected problem.
B. To list the unbelievable attractions in Paris.
C. To show the importance of learning a foreign language.
D. To share an unforgettable travel experience.
B
Tears can ruin make-up, bring conversation to a stop, and give you a runny nose. They can leave you embarrassed and without energy. However, crying is a fact of life, and tears are very useful. Even when you’re not crying, your eyes produce tears. They create a film (薄膜) over the eyes’ surface. This film contains a substance that protects your eyes against infection.
Tears relieve stress, but we tend to fight them for all sorts of reasons. “People worry about showing their emotions. They’re afraid that once they lose control, they’ll never get it back,” explains psychologist Dorothy Rowe. “As children we were sometimes punished for shedding tears or expressing anger. As adults we still fear the results of showing emotions.”
Almost any emotion (情感) — good or bad, happy or sad — can cause tears. Crying is a way that we release built-up emotions. Tears help you when you feel you are ready to explode because of very strong feelings. It may explain why people who are afraid to cry often suffer more heart attacks than people who cry more freely.
When some people become very stressed, however, they can’t cry. They may be feeling shock, anger, fear or grief, but they repress (抑制) the emotion. “Everyone has the need to cry,” says Professor Vera Diamond. Sometimes in therapy sessions, patients take part in crying exercises. They practice crying so that they can get used to expressing the emotion. Diamond says it’s best to cry in safe, private places, like under the bedcovers or in the car. That’s because many people get uncomfortable when others cry in front of them. In fact, they may be repressing their own need to cry.
In certain situations, such as at work, tears are not suitable. It’s good to hold back tears during a tense business discussion. “But once you are safely behind closed doors, don’t just cry,” Diamond says. She suggests that you act out the whole situation again and be as noisy and angry as you like. It will help you feel better. “And,” she adds, “once your tears have released the stress, you can begin to think of logical ways to deal with the problem.”
Tears are a sign of our ability to feel. You should never be afraid to cry.
17. What can crying help us?
A. It can make us feel energetic. B. It can help us reduce fear.
C. It can help us release tension. D. It can let us escape from reality.
18. What can we learn from Vera Diamond’s opinion about crying from time to time?
A. It should be valued. B. It must be forgiven.
C. It may be avoided. D. It can be practiced.
19. What are you expected to do in a tense business discussion?
A. Control your tears. B. Be brave to express your emotions.
C. Release your stress with tears. D. Create a comfortable atmosphere.
20. What is the text mainly about?
A. How to release stress. B. How to express emotions.
C. The value of tears. D. Ways to repress emotions in public.

If you’re someone who has been worrying about the rise of the robots, hold on there just a second and let them help you impress your friends with some newfound skills in a foreign language. Using artificial intelligence (AI) to help us learn and improve those skills is not new. Some of the online language tools we turn to every day are powered by AI.
But as new technologies flood into the market, now is a great time to take advantage of the technology. And according to experts, these tools aren’t replacing teachers; they’re making their lives easier. One of the things that stops some of us from practising speaking in a new language is a lack of self-confidence. AI can help — chatbots because don’t judge you. Of course, teachers don’t either, but for some people, communicating with a bot may remove that fear of failure or shyness.
The latest chatbots use something called natural language processing that allows them to understand human speech or writing, providing a human-like response right away. While chatbots are extremely useful for learners working solely, teachers can also offer course material and ask an AI system to produce personalized textbooks for groups of students. The AI can also provide feedback in seconds. Gone are the days of waiting a week for work to be graded.
Past online language tools and games were able to tell you when you were wrong, but they weren’t always able to explain why. Now, not only has that changed, but the explanations are detailed and immediate. But this is not to underestimate (低估) the role of the teachers, who can use the technology to help learn more about the strengths and weaknesses of their students and personalize their teaching.
So, if you want to impress your friends with your perfect speech, don’t be afraid of AI. Just think of it as a useful tool for both teachers and language learners, which will give you more time and space to enjoy learning something new!
