B A famous American poet Robert Frost once said, “Poetry is what gets lost in translation. ”But XuYuanchong, well-known Chinese translator, had tried to convey the beauty of ancient Chinese poetry throughout his life. His teacher Qian Zhongshu commented on his poetry translation, “You are dancing while chained by rhyme and rhythm, but the dance shows amazing freedom and beauty, which is quite impressive.” Since 1978, Xu had published more than 100 translated works in Chinese, English and French, reaching millions of readers at home and abroad. Most notably, he translated Chinese poems into rhymed verses in both English and French. He was also the first Asian winner of the Aurora Borealis Prize for Outstanding Translation of Fiction Literature. Xu was known to be very fastidious in his work. For him, English is a “ scientific” language that needs exactness while Chinese is an “artistic” language that includes a wider range of content. Following this principle, Xu kept not only faithfulness in the sense but beauty in sensibility in his translation. Through Xu’s translations, time-honored Chinese wisdom has made an impact on Western societies and the world. For example, when former US president Barack Obama tried to begin a healthcare project during his presidency, some senators disagreed at first. But after reading the poem titled Fishing in Snow translated by Xu, one senator was so impressed with the fisherman’s independent thinking that he chose to part with the party line to support Obama. Having made such great achievements, Xu maintained a routine. Every day he translated about1, 000 words, working till 3 to 4 a. m., sleeping for about 3 hours and getting up at 6 a. m. to continue.“ Translation is a means of communicating with the writer’s soul. A sudden flicker of a good word or a good line thrills every pore (毛孔) and every inch of my skin,” Xu said. 4. What does the text tell us about Xu Yuanchong? A. He mastered at least three foreign languages. B. He translated about 100 Chinese works into English. C. He was the first winner of the Aurora Borcalis Prize. D. He was widely known for his translated rhymed verses. 5. What does the underlined word “fastidious” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Particular. B. Satisfied. C. Inventive. D. Productive. 6. Why does the author give the example in Paragraph 4? A. To recommend Xu’s translation works. B. To stress the charm of Chinese poetry. C. To show Xu’s great translation skills. D. To prove the wisdom of the ancient Chinese. 7. Which of the following words can best describe Xu? A. Thoughtful and modest. B. Generous and objective C. Creative and open-minded. D. Devoted and hard-working. C Scientists have come up with a new way of identifying animals in an area by testing DNA sucked out of the air. The researchers believe their new method could help scientists keep track of animals that are hard to spot, including endangered animals. Two teams of scientists — one in Denmark and one in the United Kingdom — came up with the same question at about the same time: Could they identify the animals in an area from DNA that was simply floating in the air? Testing for eDNA (‌“environmental” DNA) isn’t a new idea, but most of the time, scientists look for eDNA in water, DNA in the air is usually so small that it would take a microscope to see it. The scientists didn’t have high hopes for their experiment. Neither team knew that the other group was working on a similar experiment. One collected samples from different locations at Denmark’s Copenhagen Zoo, and the other at Hamerton Zoo Park in the UK. The scientists used slightly different methods to collect their samples. But basically, both teams used vacuums (真空装置) and fans to collect extremely tiny bits of DNA onto very high quality filters (过滤器). In the laboratory, they got the DNA from the filters and made copies of it to study. By comparing their samples with examples of DNA from different animals, the scientists were able to identify many different animals at the zoos. The researchers in Denmark identified 49 different kinds of animals. The team in the UK identified 25 different kinds of animals. They even identified DNA from animals that were inside sealed buildings. Each team only discovered the other experiment after they had written a paper about their own results. Instead of competing, the two decided to combine their results and publish a paper together. Both teams are excited about the ways this new method could be used in the wild. Scientists have been looking for better ways to track endangered animals without interfering with them. If researchers know where animals live, they can do a better job of protecting them. ‌“The next step is to figure out how to take this method into nature,” says Dr. Bohmann. 8. What was the scientists’ attitude towards their experiment at first? A. Hopeful. B. Doubtful. C. Disappointed. D. Satisfied. 9. Which description about the two teams is correct? A. They knew each other very well before. B. Both of them are from the same country. C. Their research methods were not exactly the same. D. They cooperated from the beginning of their experiments. 10. What is the positive effect of this experiment? A. It increases human interaction with wildlife. B. It enables the two teams to compete in science. C. It could help people escape from dangerous animals. D It could help protect endangered animals in a better way. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. A Groundbreaking Way to Test DNA B. DNA of Animals in the UK and Denmark C. Scientists Identify Animals by DNA in the Air D. Two Experimental Teams Doing the Same Thing Dogs feel their way through the world with their noses. Researchers have started imitating this super skill with an artificial-intelligence-based detective tool. In a study published in February in PLOS ONE, a multinational team reported an AI-powered system that is as accurate as trained dogs at correctly identifying cases of prostate cancer from urine samples. Andreas Mershin, a research scientist from Massachusetts Institute of Technology, wants to eventually integrate the technology into smartphones: There would be a tiny sensor in the phone with AI software running in the cloud. Prostate cancer, the second most deadly cancer in men worldwide, is difficult to detect. The most widely used test can miss 15 percent of cancers. Trained dogs, on the other hand, were able to identify patients with prostate cancer from urine samples more than 96 percent of the time. Yet dogs can get bored and tired, so researchers want to develop an AI system that works more consistently. Living cells produce chemicals that come out from the skin, blood, urine and breath. Artificial noses, including the "Nano Nose" that Mershin and one of his colleagues developed, can already detect those chemicals at the same parts-per-billion concentration as dogs. The team added to the chemical sensing an artificial neural network—a type of AI algorithm that can learn from looking at examples how to identify faces, for instance. As the 2015 Journal of Urology study showed, dogs can be trained to reach more than 96 percent accuracy, and the AI can be trained to reach that same rate. Mershin plans to train the AI algorithm using data from the "Nano Nose", which is currently one third the size of an iPhone 10 and could be further shrunk to be integrated into smartphones. 12. What is the Nano Nose? A. A device. B. A method. C. A database. D. A research team. 13. What is the advantage of the AI system over trained dogs in detecting prostate cancer? A. It has the ability to sense chemicals. B. It can collect samples in the cloud. C. It has the minimum error. D. It can ensure consistency. 14. Which of the following can best replace he underlined word "shrunk" in Paragraph 4? A. Made smaller. B. Cut shorter. C. Expanded. D. Upgraded. 15. What is the ultimate goal of the research? A To train dogs to detect diseases. B. To identify artificial faces. C. To produce AI noses to detect diseases. D. To add an AI sensor to the smartphone. 七选五：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。 New invention to get astronauts moving in space NASA says that astronauts can lose as much as 10% of their bone density (骨密度) when they’re in space. That’s because there is no gravity for their bodies to push against. ___16___. It is a machine that allows them to jump in zero gravity. Jumping in zero gravity would help build up bone density and muscle mass rather than astronauts losing this while in space. ___17___. This is to maintain a healthy lifestyle and prevent them from losing too much muscle and bone density. John Kennett, the engineer of this project, says that his machine would cut the works down to just six minutes a day! It will allow astronauts to take part in a short but intense workout designed to build both muscle mass and bone density. John says that jumping is important to maintain good bone density. ___18___. So he thinks his invention is the perfect solution. Former NASA astronaut Leroy Chiao says that exercising while in space is very important for a successful recovery once back on earth. He says he would welcome shorter workouts to ensure other duties on the spacecraft can still be completed. ___19___. “When you’re jumping on this you can really feel it from your toes right through your shoulders,” she says. Experts say this machine could also save much- needed space on board. ___20___. And it’s hoped it will join some astronauts in space by 2026! A. However, jumping in zero gravity is really hard. B. Now, astronauts don’t spend much time exercising. C. Next year the machine will be tested in zero gravity. D. Some people wonder whether the machine will work in space. E. At the moment astronauts spend up to two hours a day, six days a week exercising. F. An engineer from London has found the solution to keeping astronauts fit and healthy in space. G. Tess Morris- Paterson, who has been testing the machine, says the workout gives her full- body benefits. 第三部分：完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） Have you heard the line, “Treat other people the way you would like to be treated yourself”?

His teacher Qian Zhongshu commented on his poetry translation, “You are dancing while chained by rhyme and rhythm, but the dance shows amazing freedom and beauty, which is quite impressive.” Since 1978, Xu had published more than 100 translated works in Chinese, English and French, reaching millions of readers at home and abroad. Most notably, he translated Chinese poems into rhymed verses in both English and French. He was also the first Asian winner of the Aurora Borealis Prize for Outstanding Translation of Fiction Literature. Xu was known to be very fastidious in his work. For him, English is a “ scientific” language that needs exactness while Chinese is an “artistic” language that includes a wider range of content. Following this principle, Xu kept not only faithfulness in the sense but beauty in sensibility in his translation. Through Xu’s translations, time-honored Chinese wisdom has made an impact on Western societies and the world. For example, when former US president Barack Obama tried to begin a healthcare project during his presidency, some senators disagreed at first. But after reading the poem titled Fishing in Snow translated by Xu, one senator was so impressed with the fisherman’s independent thinking that he chose to part with the party line to support Obama. Having made such great achievements, Xu maintained a routine. Every day he translated about1, 000 words, working till 3 to 4 a. m., sleeping for about 3 hours and getting up at 6 a. m. to continue.“ Translation is a means of communicating with the writer’s soul. A sudden flicker of a good word or a good line thrills every pore (毛孔) and every inch of my skin,” Xu said. 4. What does the text tell us about Xu Yuanchong? A. He mastered at least three foreign languages. B. He translated about 100 Chinese works into English. C. He was the first winner of the Aurora Borcalis Prize. D. He was widely known for his translated rhymed verses. 5. What does the underlined word “fastidious” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Particular. B. Satisfied. C. Inventive. D. Productive. 6. Why does the author give the example in Paragraph 4? A. To recommend Xu’s translation works. B. To stress the charm of Chinese poetry. C. To show Xu’s great translation skills. D. To prove the wisdom of the ancient Chinese. 7. Which of the following words can best describe Xu? A. Thoughtful and modest. B. Generous and objective C. Creative and open-minded. D. Devoted and hard-working. 【答案】4. D 5. A 6. C 7. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国著名翻译家许渊冲对于翻译的贡献。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Since 1978, Xu had published more than 100 translated works in Chinese, English and French, reaching millions of readers at home and abroad.

The researchers believe their new method could help scientists keep track of animals that are hard to spot, including endangered animals. Two teams of scientists — one in Denmark and one in the United Kingdom — came up with the same question at about the same time: Could they identify the animals in an area from DNA that was simply floating in the air? Testing for eDNA (‌“environmental” DNA) isn’t a new idea, but most of the time, scientists look for eDNA in water, DNA in the air is usually so small that it would take a microscope to see it. The scientists didn’t have high hopes for their experiment. Neither team knew that the other group was working on a similar experiment. One collected samples from different locations at Denmark’s Copenhagen Zoo, and the other at Hamerton Zoo Park in the UK. The scientists used slightly different methods to collect their samples. But basically, both teams used vacuums (真空装置) and fans to collect extremely tiny bits of DNA onto very high quality filters (过滤器). In the laboratory, they got the DNA from the filters and made copies of it to study. By comparing their samples with examples of DNA from different animals, the scientists were able to identify many different animals at the zoos. The researchers in Denmark identified 49 different kinds of animals. The team in the UK identified 25 different kinds of animals. They even identified DNA from animals that were inside sealed buildings. Each team only discovered the other experiment after they had written a paper about their own results. Instead of competing, the two decided to combine their results and publish a paper together. Both teams are excited about the ways this new method could be used in the wild. Scientists have been looking for better ways to track endangered animals without interfering with them. If researchers know where animals live, they can do a better job of protecting them. ‌“The next step is to figure out how to take this method into nature,” says Dr. Bohmann. 8. What was the scientists’ attitude towards their experiment at first? A. Hopeful. B. Doubtful. C. Disappointed. D. Satisfied. 9. Which description about the two teams is correct? A. They knew each other very well before. B. Both of them are from the same country. C. Their research methods were not exactly the same. D. They cooperated from the beginning of their experiments. 10. What is the positive effect of this experiment? A. It increases human interaction with wildlife. B. It enables the two teams to compete in science. C. It could help people escape from dangerous animals. D. It could help protect endangered animals in a better way. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. A Groundbreaking Way to Test DNA B. DNA of Animals in the UK and Denmark C. Scientists Identify Animals by DNA in the Air D. Two Experimental Teams Doing the Same Thing 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了科学家们通过从空气中提取DNA来识别一个地区的动物的新方法，并介绍了这一实验的具体过程、结果以及其对保护濒危动物的潜在应用。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Testing for eDNA (‌“environmental” DNA) isn’t a new idea, but most of the time, scientists look for eDNA in water, DNA in the air is usually so small that it would take a microscope to see it. The scientists didn’t have high hopes for their experiment.(测试环境DNA并不是一个新想法，但大多数时候，科学家是在水中寻找环境DNA，空气中的DNA通常非常小，需要用显微镜才能看到。科学家们对他们的实验并没有抱太大希望)”可知，科学家们最初对他们的实验没有抱太大希望，持怀疑态度的。故选B项。 9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Neither team knew that the other group was working on a similar experiment. One collected samples from different locations at Denmark’s Copenhagen Zoo, and the other at Hamerton Zoo Park in the UK. The scientists used slightly different methods to collect their samples.(两个研究团队当时都不知道对方也在进行类似的实验。一组研究人员从丹麦哥本哈根动物园的不同区域采集样本，另一组则从英国哈默顿动物园公园采集。科学家们采用了略有差异的样本采集方法)”可知，两个团队的研究方法并不完全相同。故选C项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Scientists have been looking for better ways to track endangered animals without interfering with them. If researchers know where animals live, they can do a better job of protecting them.(科学家们一直在寻找更好的方法来追踪濒危动物，同时不干扰它们。如果研究人员知道动物生活在哪里，他们就能更好地保护它们)”可知，这个实验的积极影响是能让研究人员在不干扰动物的情况下追踪它们，这有助于更好地保护濒危动物。故选D项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中“Scientists have come up with a new way of identifying animals in an area by testing DNA sucked out of the air.(科学家们想出了一种新方法，通过从空气中提取DNA来识别一个地区的动物)”以及全文内容可知，文章主要讲述了科学家们通过从空气中提取DNA来识别动物的新方法，故C项“Scientists Identify Animals by DNA in the Air(科学家通过空气中的DNA识别动物)”最能概括文章主旨，适合作为文章标题。故选C项。 Dogs feel their way through the world with their noses. Researchers have started imitating this super skill with an artificial-intelligence-based detective tool. In a study published in February in PLOS ONE, a multinational team reported an AI-powered system that is as accurate as trained dogs at correctly identifying cases of prostate cancer from urine samples. Andreas Mershin, a research scientist from Massachusetts Institute of Technology, wants to eventually integrate the technology into smartphones: There would be a tiny sensor in the phone with AI software running in the cloud. Prostate cancer, the second most deadly cancer in men worldwide, is difficult to detect. The most widely used test can miss 15 percent of cancers. Trained dogs, on the other hand, were able to identify patients with prostate cancer from urine samples more than 96 percent of the time. Yet dogs can get bored and tired, so researchers want to develop an AI system that works more consistently. Living cells produce chemicals that come out from the skin, blood, urine and breath. Artificial noses, including the "Nano Nose" that Mershin and one of his colleagues developed, can already detect those chemicals at the same parts-per-billion concentration as dogs. The team added to the chemical sensing an artificial neural network—a type of AI algorithm that can learn from looking at examples how to identify faces, for instance. As the 2015 Journal of Urology study showed, dogs can be trained to reach more than 96 percent accuracy, and the AI can be trained to reach that same rate. Mershin plans to train the AI algorithm using data from the "Nano Nose", which is currently one third the size of an iPhone 10 and could be further shrunk to be integrated into smartphones. 12. What is the Nano Nose? A. A device. B. A method. C. A database. D. A research team. 13. What is the advantage of the AI system over trained dogs in detecting prostate cancer? A. It has the ability to sense chemicals. B. It can collect samples in the cloud. C. It has the minimum error. D. It can ensure consistency. 14. Which of the following can best replace he underlined word "shrunk" in Paragraph 4? A Made smaller. B. Cut shorter. C. Expanded. D. Upgraded. 15. What is the ultimate goal of the research? A. To train dogs to detect diseases. B. To identify artificial faces. C. To produce AI noses to detect diseases. D. To add an AI sensor to the smartphone. 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。在今年2月发表在《公共科学图书馆·综合》上的一项研究中，一个跨国团队报告称，一种人工智能驱动的系统能像训练有素的狗一样准确地从尿液样本中正确识别前列腺癌病例。文章介绍了这一系统相比于狗的优势以及工作原理，和未来的发展目标。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“Artificial noses, including the "Nano Nose" that Mershin and one of his colleagues developed, can already detect those chemicals at the same parts-per-billion concentration as dogs. The team added to the chemical sensing an artificial neural network—a type of AI algorithm that can learn from looking at examples how to identify faces, for instance.(人造鼻子，包括Mershin和他的一个同事开发的“Nano Nose”，已经可以像狗一样检测到十亿分之一浓度的化学物质。该团队为化学传感添加了一种人工神经网络，这是一种人工智能算法，可以通过观察实例学习如何识别人脸)”可知，Nano Nose是一种设备。故选A。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Trained dogs, on the other hand, were able to identify patients with prostate cancer from urine samples more than 96 percent of the time. Yet dogs can get bored and tired, so researchers want to develop an AI system that works more consistently.(另一方面，经过训练的狗从尿液样本中识别出前列腺癌患者的准确率超过了96%。然而，狗会感到无聊和疲倦，所以研究人员想要开发一种工作更稳定的人工智能系统)”可推知，在检测前列腺癌方面，人工智能系统和训练有素的狗相比，其优势在于可以保证一致性。故选D。 14题详解】 词义猜测题。根据画线词上文“"Nano Nose", which is currently one third the size of an iPhone 10 and could be further”以及后文“to be integrated into smartphones”可知，“Nano Nose”目前只有iPhone 10的三分之一大小，可能会进一步缩小，以便集成到智能手机中。故画线词意思是“缩小”。A. Made smaller.缩小；B. Cut shorter.剪短；C. Expanded.扩大；D. Upgraded.提高。故选A。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Andreas Mershin, a research scientist from Massachusetts Institute of Technology, wants to eventually integrate the technology into smartphones: There would be a tiny sensor in the phone with AI software running in the cloud.(麻省理工学院的研究科学家Andreas Mershin希望最终能将这项技术整合到智能手机中：在手机中安装一个微型传感器，并在云端运行人工智能软件)”可知，这项研究的最终目的是在智能手机上添加一个AI传感器。故选D。 七选五：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。 New invention to get astronauts moving in space NASA says that astronauts can lose as much as 10% of their bone density (骨密度) when they’re in space.
