A
This year, most people have probably spent more of 2020 canceling travel plans than booking them, but it’s not too late to reverse that trend. Here are some vacations you can plan this fall.
Road trip to a local farm
Visiting a farm is “number one” travel pick right now. Price plays a big role in that suggestion. Apple picking, for example, is usually very affordable, with some orchards (果园) offering products by the pound, for $1 or $2, and others offering a flat fee for an all-you-can fill bag for about $30.
Visit a national park
There are 421 national parks in the U.S., so odds are you’ve got one in driving range. If you’re up for a challenge, you can climb the Half Dome in Yosemite or race down the great sand dunes in Colorado. The parks are also affordable. An annual pass, which guarantees entry to every park for an entire family, is just $80.
Plan a camping trip
It doesn’t cost much more than camping. Most states have dozens of drive-in camp sites, while you can also find cabins in the $50-$100 per night range. There’s no shortage of activities, either — whether it’s fishing, hiking, biking or just perfecting your camping recipe.
Rent an RV (露营车,房车)
RVs are a prime option for a cheap vacation. Using an RV for a vacation means you’re paying for your transportation and lodging all in one. Also, considering that some two-person RVs can go for as little as $175-$200 per night, you can easily find yourself traveling around the country without breaking the bank.
21. Which vacation would a thrill seeker most probably choose?
A. Road trip to a local farm. B. Visit a national park.
C. Plan a camping trip. D. Rent an RV.
22. What do the vacations have in common?
A. Wallet-friendly. B. Environment-friendly.
C. Family-friendly. D. User-friendly.
23. What’s the unique advantage of renting RVs?
A. It makes your vacation adventurous.
B. It offers free trips around the world.
C. You can kill two birds with one stone.
D. You may have someone to keep you company.
B
Feng Zhiliang, 43 years old, has been working for the Handan Public Transport Group for15 years. His recent video, where he skillfully announces bus stops in both Chinese and English, was shared online by a passenger, gaining swift attention. Some online users remarked, “It’s like experiencing a flight for just two yuan!” Others praised Handan as a city that mixes its ancient charm with modern trends.
The transition to bilingual stop announcements, combining Handan’s history and culture, started when Feng welcomed a foreign passenger with “Hello. Happy New Year!” during the Spring Festival. Encouraged by the passenger’s enthusiastic response, Feng was inspired to make a change.
Observing a significant number of foreign passengers on the No. 38 bus, Feng resolved to enhance communication and service quality by using English, ultimately leading to his bilingual announcements.
Feng’s English learning began almost from scratch (从零开始) — he enrolled in online courses, searched for various English materials, and used translation software to study whenever he could. After dropping off the last set of passengers each day, Feng would return home and finish his chores around 9:00 pm. Despite his long day, he would still persist in studying for another hour. Even the 20-minute break during the day at the bus garage was not wasted.
After three years of hard work and preparation, and encouraged by his colleagues, in early2023 Feng began making bilingual announcements during the evening rush hour, when there are the most passengers.
Feng recalled, “I was actually a bit nervous when I tried it for the first time, but you have to take that first step. After that run, many people gave me thumbs-ups and supported me. So I feel that I should persist and make bilingual announcements one of my goals. It’s also one of my wishes.”
24. What inspired Feng to make bilingual stop announcements?
A. Online users’ positive remarks. B. A foreign passenger’s response.
C. His colleagues’ encouragement. D. Handan’s history and culture.
25. What do we know about Feng’s English learning?
A. He got much help from foreigners. B. He taught himself English.
C. He learned English on the weekends. D. He was required to do so.
26. What can best describe Feng?
A. Ambitious and intelligent. B. Perseverant and diligent.
C. Considerate and honest. D. Caring and humorous.
27. What does Feng think of his bilingual announcements now?
A. Worth sticking to. B. Challenging. C. Easy to make. D. Admirable.
C
If you thought livestreaming was strange enough — hosts singing, dancing, and chatting for hours to faceless audiences— then welcome to the era of the anime-style (动漫风格的) AI livestreaming, for which there is no need for real human beings.
On looking closer at such livestreaming, the first thing you learn is that the hosts are really good at making you feel seen. Complex language processing lets them guess your mood,serve up just the right expression, and keep you engaged. For many fans, especially younger viewers, these interactions create a powerful sense of belonging.
Yet there’s something unsettling about just how good these systems are at anticipating what you want. Algorithms (算法) that predict what you want can skillfully guide you toward ever more addictive interactions. It’s the classic social media trap with an anime face. Perhaps the biggest concern is that the main audience for these virtual idols (偶像) is young people.
This isn’t just entertainment; it’s a new field for forming worldviews and values, and developing emotional habits. As such livestreaming becomes more convincing, it risks replacing real human interaction with algorithmic simulations. Instead of learning to navigate the complexities of real- world friendship, young viewers might settle for endlessly agreeable virtual live company.
Despite these challenges, banning or shaming the entire industry isn’t the answer. Virtual livestreaming is here to stay. Most importantly, we need to always remember that technology is meant to serve the people, not replace them. Virtual livestreamers can handle the routine work. But genuine emotional connection, critical thinking and moral judgment are the jobs of real human beings.
Parents, educators and the media need to help young people understand what’s happening behind the friendly characters. Anime-style AI livestreaming is more than a passing fancy. It’s a cultural frontier where technology, art, business and human emotions crash. Yet our aim should not be to stifle its growth, but to ensure it grows responsibly.
28. What makes anime-style AI livestreaming appealing to young viewers?
A. Its use of the complex algorithms.
B. Its creation of a sense of belonging.
C. Its ability to replace human hosts.
D. Its focus on content of friendship.
29. How does virtual livestreaming affect young viewers?
A. They find digital companions complex.
B. Their virtual idols turn into real figures.
C. Their real- world relationships may fade.
D. They are better at interacting in real life.
30. What does the underlined word “stifle” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Hold back. B. Contribute to. C. Adapt to. D. Figure out.
31. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Engineered Belonging Might Cheer You Up
B. Are Anime AI Live streamers Emerging Wildly?
C. Does The Algorithm Really Know You Well?
D. Virtual Companionship May Come At A Cost
D
If Mars were the popular kid in school, Venus (金星) would be the unwelcome one sitting in the corner, largely ignored. Venus has nearly the same mass and size as Earth, but being closer to the sun, it gets nearly twice as much heat from the sun.
However, instead of having a climate that is just a warmer version of Earth’s, Venus’s surface and atmosphere are unbearable: clouds of sulphuric acid (硫酸) blanket the planet, while at ground level, it is hot enough to melt lead. Despite this, there is now a sign that Venus may harbour life. Jane Greaves at Cardiff University, UK, and her colleagues recently detected phosphine (磷化氢) in Venus’s atmosphere, with one potential explanation that it is the by-product of biology. That is because the only way this gas is made on Earth is in laboratories or by microbes (微生物). Though this doesn’t mean it was produced by life on Venus, attempts to find non-biological explanations for its presence have so far failed. Our best way of confirming or rejecting the possibility of life on Venus is to go and have a proper look. While Mars has been the focus of interplanetary (行星间的) exploration efforts lately, the phosphine discovery lets people look at Venus in a new light. As NASA administrator Jim Bridenstine tweeted: “It’s time to prioritize Venus.”
In the months and years to come, computer simulations (模拟) will be used to further study the possible chemistries of the atmosphere on Venus. More laboratory experiments will be conducted to try to identify other ways the phosphine there could be produced. However, there is no guarantee that these efforts will reveal the true nature of this substance on Venus. A newly-proposed strategy is to directly sample the atmosphere and surface of Venus. By doing so, we would be able to take direct measurements of phosphine.
The discovery of phosphine in Venus’s atmosphere is a great accomplishment. The scientific efforts may be just what we need to finally refocus on this neglected world. Possibly, the quiet kid in the corner may get the last laugh.
32. Which description about Venus is NOT true?
A. It is almost as large as Earth.
B. It has nearly the same mass as Earth.
C. It has the unbearable surface and atmosphere.
D. It has a warmer Earth-like climate.
33. What can the discovery of phosphine on Venus show?
A. This kind of gas is very common.
B. Many products can be made with it.
C. There might exist signs of life.
D. Experiments were once conducted there.
34. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. The importance of observations.
B. The methods of exploring phosphine.
C. The power of computer simulations.
D. The necessity to analyse phosphine.
35. Which can best describe the author’s attitude to the exploration of Venus?
A. Casual. B. Cautious.
C. Neutral. D. Supportive.
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入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
The Power of the Unseen
A desire to learn from the successful is a natural instinct (本能). However, this can be problematic if we don’t take “survivorship bias (幸存者偏差)” into consideration. In simple terms, this comes about when we see only the “survivors” without looking at the whole dataset. ___36___ At the time, the American military asked mathematician (数学家) Abraham Wald to study how best to protect aeroplanes from being shot down. In the beginning, their plan had been to examine the planes returning from combat (战斗). They’d see where they were hit the worst and then strengthen those areas.
But Wald realized they had fallen prey to survivorship bias. Their analysis was missing a valuable part of the picture: the planes that were hit but that hadn’t made it back. The bullet holes the military were looking at actually indicated the areas where a plane could be hit and keep flying. Those were exactly the areas that didn’t need reinforcing (加固).
___37___ For example, a gym might feature those who’ve built up their bodies as a result of working out. What they never show is those who signed up but achieved no more than an emptied bank account.
Scientists might seem to be a group of people that wouldn’t be victims of survivorship bias. But for years, many scientific journals have been criticized for a “publication bias” toward studies that are interesting or that show significant results.
A subtler (更微妙的) source of survivorship bias appears when society turns its attention to successful individuals. ___38___ For example, a number of today’s billionaires — Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg, for example — achieved their success despite never going to or finishing university. Hearing about stories like this is encouraging: If they achieved riches without university, it’s easy to believe that surely I can, too. But this is another example of survivorship bias. ___39___ In 2018, the employment rate for graduates in the U.K. was 88%, and 72% for non-graduates. The median (中位数的) annual salary for a graduate was $43,000, and $30,000 for a non-graduate. Although university isn’t necessary for one to be rich, looking at the whole picture rather than just the survivors makes clear that it does help.
___40___ Such people must be unrepresentative of the bigger picture, and thus one should be careful about copying them. After all, if everyone was succeeding by taking a big risk, it can’t have been that big a risk.
A. Often our attention is drawn to people who achieve success despite facing many difficulties or take big risks.
B. Once you are familiar with the idea of survivorship bias, you can start spotting it everywhere.
C. We tend to think success is due to particular characteristics which can be copied.
D. The most famous example of survivorship bias dates back to World War II.
E. If you look at all those who don’t go to college, rather than just the successful examples, a very different picture emerges.
F. In fact, the danger in basing your understanding of the world on those who have succeeded taking “big risks” is clear.
G. It’s understandable that journal editors don’t want to use limited space to feature experiments where little happens.

I shut the curtains, ___48___, and even called the police, yet the flow of people never stopped. Then one morning, returning home after a long night of work, I saw a group adjust their lights and angles, change outfits, and wait for the perfect ___49___. When the camera finally ___50___, my pink house stood glowing in the frame, perfectly ___51___ with the rising sun. To my surprise, I felt a ___52___ calm.

Hungry Students Get Healthy Choices
It is a well-known scientific fact that teenagers eat 50 percent more than the average person. Well, actually three meals a day just isn’t enough ____56____(satisfy) their endless hunger.
Recently Tongji University has decided to keep its canteens open till 11 p.m. and to serve healthy meals at ____57____(afford) prices. When Fu Qinjun, the director of the university’s food services, ____58____(interview), he said “Students are usually hungry after studying late into the night, but our canteens used to stop service after 7 p.m. That’s ____59____ students turned to outside sellers, but the quality and safety of the food is not good enough. We expected that this move ____60____(improve) the situation.”
This is good news for the students ____61____ now have healthy late-night choices for their diet instead of relying on fast food and the snacks available at convenience stores. ____62____ those foods tend to create pleasure in our brains, they are basically unhealthy when ____63____(eat) in excess and can make us fat.
If you’ re a boarding student, you probably know about fat because it’s likely that you have put on a little weight since you started school. In North America, this phenomenon is called the “Freshman Fifteen”. It refers to the fact that many students gain up to fifteen pounds during the first year they are away from home. ____64____ mum’s care, they tend to eat more than they should.
For young people, though, having ____65____ healthy appetite is a good thing. However, it’s important to learn how to eat well. So, thanks to Tongji University for helping students fill their bottomless holes with healthy food. And now maybe the university will keep its gym open late at night so that students can walk off some of those extra calories!

A MOTHER’S DAY SURPRISE
The twins were filled with excitement as they thought of the surprise they were planning for Mother’s Day. How pleased and proud Mother would be when they brought her breakfast in bed. They planned to make French toast and chicken porridge. They had watched their mother in the kitchen. There was nothing to it. Jenna and Jeff knew exactly what to do.
The big day came at last. The alarm rang at 6 a.m. The pair went down the stairs quietly to the kitchen. They decided to boil the porridge first. They put some rice into a pot of water and left it to boil while they made the French toast. Jeff broke two eggs into a plate and added in some milk. Jenna found the bread and put two slices into the egg mixture. Next, Jeff turned on the second stove burner to heat up the frying pan. Everything was going smoothly until Jeff started frying the bread. The pan was too hot and the bread turned black within seconds. Jenna threw the burnt piece into the sink and put in the other slice of bread. This time, she turned down the fire so it cooked nicely.
Then Jeff noticed steam shooting out of the pot and the lid starting to shake. The next minute, the porridge boiled over and put out the fire. Jenna panicked. Thankfully, Jeff stayed calm and turned off the gas quickly. But the stove was a mess now. Jenna told Jeff to clean it up so they could continue to cook the rest of the porridge. But Jeff’s hand touched the hot burner and he gave a cry of pain. Jenna made him put his hand in cold water. Then she caught the smell of burning. Oh dear! The piece of bread in the pan had turned black as well.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右。

【解析】
【原文】Hello, I’m Jeff Anderson from Coventry, England. And in today’s program, I’d like to share with you a special kind of English culture, the football. A lot of people in England are crazy about football. During the football season, whenever there is a big match, all the flags for local football teams such as Liverpool and Newcastle, are hung outside every window. There is an atmosphere of excitement in the air. Groups of young men crowd into dark, packed pubs staring at television screens. They shout loudly in sadness when their team loses a goal or with Joy when there is a moment of success. You do not have to be a fan of football to get caught up in the excitement. As far as victories are concerned, England had its big moment in 1966 in wembley stadium. A world cup victory is in the hearts and minds of all football fans. Now, whenever England is playing a big match, red and white covers the whole pub, a symbol of hope, the English flag. While football has never been something I am particularly interested in, for years, I’ve had to pick a team to support. You cannot say you don’t like or do not follow football in England as often as this would lead to a long dialogue in which someone would begin telling you why you should support their team.
第二部分 阅读理解(共两节,每题2.5分,满分50分)

第一节(每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)
A
This year, most people have probably spent more of 2020 canceling travel plans than booking them, but it’s not too late to reverse that trend. Here are some vacations you can plan this fall.
Road trip to a local farm
Visiting a farm is “number one” travel pick right now. Price plays a big role in that suggestion. Apple picking, for example, is usually very affordable, with some orchards (果园) offering products by the pound, for $1 or $2, and others offering a flat fee for an all-you-can fill bag for about $30.
Visit a national park
There are 421 national parks in the U.S., so odds are you’ve got one in driving range. If you’re up for a challenge, you can climb the Half Dome in Yosemite or race down the great sand dunes in Colorado. The parks are also affordable. An annual pass, which guarantees entry to every park for an entire family, is just $80.
Plan a camping trip
It doesn’t cost much more than camping. Most states have dozens of drive-in camp sites, while you can also find cabins in the $50-$100 per night range. There’s no shortage of activities, either — whether it’s fishing, hiking, biking or just perfecting your camping recipe.
Rent an RV (露营车,房车)
RVs are a prime option for a cheap vacation. Using an RV for a vacation means you’re paying for your transportation and lodging all in one. Also, considering that some two-person RVs can go for as little as $175-$200 per night, you can easily find yourself traveling around the country without breaking the bank.
21. Which vacation would a thrill seeker most probably choose?
A. Road trip to a local farm. B. Visit a national park.
C. Plan a camping trip. D. Rent an RV.
22. What do the vacations have in common?
A. Wallet-friendly. B. Environment-friendly.
C. Family-friendly. D. User-friendly.
23. What’s the unique advantage of renting RVs?
A. It makes your vacation adventurous.
B. It offers free trips around the world.
C. You can kill two birds with one stone.
D. You may have someone to keep you company.
【答案】21. B 22. A 23. C

Feng Zhiliang, 43 years old, has been working for the Handan Public Transport Group for15 years. His recent video, where he skillfully announces bus stops in both Chinese and English, was shared online by a passenger, gaining swift attention. Some online users remarked, “It’s like experiencing a flight for just two yuan!” Others praised Handan as a city that mixes its ancient charm with modern trends.
The transition to bilingual stop announcements, combining Handan’s history and culture, started when Feng welcomed a foreign passenger with “Hello. Happy New Year!” during the Spring Festival. Encouraged by the passenger’s enthusiastic response, Feng was inspired to make a change.
Observing a significant number of foreign passengers on the No. 38 bus, Feng resolved to enhance communication and service quality by using English, ultimately leading to his bilingual announcements.
Feng’s English learning began almost from scratch (从零开始) — he enrolled in online courses, searched for various English materials, and used translation software to study whenever he could. After dropping off the last set of passengers each day, Feng would return home and finish his chores around 9:00 pm. Despite his long day, he would still persist in studying for another hour. Even the 20-minute break during the day at the bus garage was not wasted.
After three years of hard work and preparation, and encouraged by his colleagues, in early2023 Feng began making bilingual announcements during the evening rush hour, when there are the most passengers.
Feng recalled, “I was actually a bit nervous when I tried it for the first time, but you have to take that first step. After that run, many people gave me thumbs-ups and supported me. So I feel that I should persist and make bilingual announcements one of my goals. It’s also one of my wishes.”
24. What inspired Feng to make bilingual stop announcements?
A. Online users’ positive remarks. B. A foreign passenger’s response.
C. His colleagues’ encouragement. D. Handan’s history and culture.
25. What do we know about Feng’s English learning?
A. He got much help from foreigners. B. He taught himself English.
C. He learned English on the weekends. D. He was required to do so.
26. What can best describe Feng?
A. Ambitious and intelligent. B. Perseverant and diligent.
C. Considerate and honest. D. Caring and humorous.
27. What does Feng think of his bilingual announcements now?
A. Worth sticking to. B. Challenging. C. Easy to make. D. Admirable.
【答案】24. B 25. B 26. B 27. A

【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Feng’s English learning began almost from scratch (从零开始) — he enrolled in online courses, searched for various English materials, and used translation software to study whenever he could.(冯的英语学习几乎是从零开始的——他注册在线课程,搜索各种英语资料,只要有时间就使用翻译软件学习)”可知,冯志亮自学英语。故选B。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“After dropping off the last set of passengers each day, Feng would return home and finish his chores around 9:00 pm. Despite his long day, he would still persist in studying for another hour. Even the 20-minute break during the day at the bus garage was not wasted.(每天送完最后一批乘客后,冯会在晚上9点左右回家完成家务。尽管他的一天很长,他仍然坚持再学习一个小时。即使是白天在公共汽车车库休息的20分钟也没有浪费)”以及倒数第二段“After three years of hard work and preparation, and encouraged by his colleagues, in early2023 Feng began making bilingual announcements during the evening rush hour, when there are the most passengers.(经过三年的努力和准备,在同事们的鼓励下,2023年初,冯开始在乘客最多的晚高峰时段做双语广播)”可知,冯志亮学习英语勤奋,且坚持了三年,说明他有毅力且勤奋。故选B。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“So I feel that I should persist and make bilingual announcements one of my goals. It’s also one of my wishes.(所以我觉得我应该坚持下去,把双语公告作为我的目标之一。这也是我的愿望之一)”可知,冯志亮认为他的双语公告值得坚持。故选A。
C
If you thought livestreaming was strange enough — hosts singing, dancing, and chatting for hours to faceless audiences— then welcome to the era of the anime-style (动漫风格的) AI livestreaming, for which there is no need for real human beings.
On looking closer at such livestreaming, the first thing you learn is that the hosts are really good at making you feel seen. Complex language processing lets them guess your mood,serve up just the right expression, and keep you engaged. For many fans, especially younger viewers, these interactions create a powerful sense of belonging.
Yet there’s something unsettling about just how good these systems are at anticipating what you want. Algorithms (算法) that predict what you want can skillfully guide you toward ever more addictive interactions. It’s the classic social media trap with an anime face. Perhaps the biggest concern is that the main audience for these virtual idols (偶像) is young people.
This isn’t just entertainment; it’s a new field for forming worldviews and values, and developing emotional habits. As such livestreaming becomes more convincing, it risks replacing real human interaction with algorithmic simulations. Instead of learning to navigate the complexities of real- world friendship, young viewers might settle for endlessly agreeable virtual live company.
Despite these challenges, banning or shaming the entire industry isn’t the answer. Virtual livestreaming is here to stay. Most importantly, we need to always remember that technology is meant to serve the people, not replace them. Virtual livestreamers can handle the routine work. But genuine emotional connection, critical thinking and moral judgment are the jobs of real human beings.
Parents, educators and the media need to help young people understand what’s happening behind the friendly characters. Anime-style AI livestreaming is more than a passing fancy. It’s a cultural frontier where technology, art, business and human emotions crash. Yet our aim should not be to stifle its growth, but to ensure it grows responsibly.
28. What makes anime-style AI livestreaming appealing to young viewers?
A. Its use of the complex algorithms.
B. Its creation of a sense of belonging.
C. Its ability to replace human hosts.
D. Its focus on content of friendship.
29. How does virtual livestreaming affect young viewers?
A. They find digital companions complex.
B. Their virtual idols turn into real figures.
C. Their real- world relationships may fade.
D. They are better at interacting in real life.
30. What does the underlined word “stifle” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Hold back. B. Contribute to. C. Adapt to. D. Figure out.
31. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Engineered Belonging Might Cheer You Up
B. Are Anime AI Live streamers Emerging Wildly?
C. Does The Algorithm Really Know You Well?
D. Virtual Companionship May Come At A Cost
【答案】28. B 29. C 30. A 31. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章介绍了动漫风格的AI直播,它能让观众有归属感,但算法易使观众上瘾,可能取代真实社交,应引导年轻人,确保其负责任地发展。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“For many fans, especially younger viewers, these interactions create a powerful sense of belonging.(对于许多粉丝,尤其是年轻观众来说,这些互动创造了一种强烈的归属感。)”可知,动漫风格的AI直播之所以吸引年轻观众,是因为它创造了一种归属感。故选B项。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段中的“As such livestreaming becomes more convincing, it risks replacing real human interaction with algorithmic simulations. Instead of learning to navigate the complexities of real-world friendship, young viewers might settle for endlessly agreeable virtual live company.(随着这种直播变得越来越可信,它有可能用算法模拟取代真实的人际互动。年轻观众可能不会学会应对现实世界中友谊的复杂性,而是满足于与永远讨人喜欢的虚拟直播作伴。)”可知,虚拟直播可能会让年轻观众满足于虚拟的陪伴,而忽视了现实世界中的人际关系,导致真实的人际关系可能淡化。故选C项。
【30题详解】
词句猜测题。根据文章最后一段中的“Yet our aim should not be to stifle its growth, but to ensure it grows responsibly.(然而,我们的目标不应该是……它的增长,而是确保它负责任地增长。)”可知,前后文为转折关系,后文提到要确保其负责任地增长,说明前文应该是不要阻碍其增长,由此可推测出stifle意为“阻碍,抑制”,与A选项“Hold back.(阻碍)”意思相近。故选A项。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段中的“Virtual livestreaming is here to stay. Most importantly, we need to always remember that technology is meant to serve the people, not replace them. Virtual livestreamers can handle the routine work. But genuine emotional connection, critical thinking and moral judgment are the jobs of real human beings.(虚拟直播将会继续存在。最重要的是,我们需要永远记住,技术是为人类服务的,而不是取代人类。虚拟直播者可以处理日常工作。但真正的情感联系、批判性思维和道德判断是人类的工作。)”以及全文内容可知,文章主要讨论了动漫风格的AI直播的吸引力、对年轻观众的影响以及我们应该如何看待这一新兴技术。文章指出,虽然虚拟直播有其吸引力,但也可能带来一些负面影响,如真实人际关系的淡化。D选项“Virtual Companionship May Come At A Cost(虚拟陪伴可能付出代价)”符合标题。故选D项。
D
If Mars were the popular kid in school, Venus (金星) would be the unwelcome one sitting in the corner, largely ignored. Venus has nearly the same mass and size as Earth, but being closer to the sun, it gets nearly twice as much heat from the sun.
However, instead of having a climate that is just a warmer version of Earth’s, Venus’s surface and atmosphere are unbearable: clouds of sulphuric acid (硫酸) blanket the planet, while at ground level, it is hot enough to melt lead. Despite this, there is now a sign that Venus may harbour life. Jane Greaves at Cardiff University, UK, and her colleagues recently detected phosphine (磷化氢) in Venus’s atmosphere, with one potential explanation that it is the by-product of biology. That is because the only way this gas is made on Earth is in laboratories or by microbes (微生物). Though this doesn’t mean it was produced by life on Venus, attempts to find non-biological explanations for its presence have so far failed. Our best way of confirming or rejecting the possibility of life on Venus is to go and have a proper look. While Mars has been the focus of interplanetary (行星间的) exploration efforts lately, the phosphine discovery lets people look at Venus in a new light. As NASA administrator Jim Bridenstine tweeted: “It’s time to prioritize Venus.”
In the months and years to come, computer simulations (模拟) will be used to further study the possible chemistries of the atmosphere on Venus. More laboratory experiments will be conducted to try to identify other ways the phosphine there could be produced. However, there is no guarantee that these efforts will reveal the true nature of this substance on Venus. A newly-proposed strategy is to directly sample the atmosphere and surface of Venus. By doing so, we would be able to take direct measurements of phosphine.
The discovery of phosphine in Venus’s atmosphere is a great accomplishment. The scientific efforts may be just what we need to finally refocus on this neglected world. Possibly, the quiet kid in the corner may get the last laugh.
32. Which description about Venus is NOT true?
A. It is almost as large as Earth.
B. It has nearly the same mass as Earth.
C. It has the unbearable surface and atmosphere.
D. It has a warmer Earth-like climate.
33. What can the discovery of phosphine on Venus show?
A. This kind of gas is very common.
B. Many products can be made with it.
C. There might exist signs of life.
D. Experiments were once conducted there.
34. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. The importance of observations.
B. The methods of exploring phosphine.
C. The power of computer simulations.
D. The necessity to analyse phosphine.
35. Which can best describe the author’s attitude to the exploration of Venus?
A. Casual. B. Cautious.
C. Neutral. D. Supportive.
【答案】32. D 33. C 34. B 35. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了金星虽环境恶劣但发现磷化氢或暗示有生命迹象。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的“However, instead of having a climate that is just a warmer version of Earth’s, Venus’s surface and atmosphere are unbearable: clouds of sulphuric acid(硫酸)blanket the planet, while at ground level, it is hot enough to melt lead.(然而,金星的气候并非仅仅是地球气候更温暖的版本,它的表面和大气层让人难以忍受:硫酸云层覆盖着整个星球,而在地面,温度高得足以熔化铅)”可知,金星并没有像地球一样温暖的气候。所以D项“它有着类似地球的温暖气候。”表述错误。故选D。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段的“Jane Greaves at Cardiff University, UK, and her colleagues recently detected phosphine (磷化氢) in Venus’s atmosphere, with one potential explanation that it is the by-product of biology. That is because the only way this gas is made on Earth is in laboratories or by microbes (微生物).(英国卡迪夫大学的简・格里夫斯和她的同事最近在金星的大气层中检测到了磷化氢,一种潜在的解释是它是生物的副产品。这是因为在地球上产生这种气体的唯一途径是在实验室或由微生物产生)”可推知,在金星上发现了磷化氢,说明了那里可能存在生命的迹象。故选C。
【34题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段的“In the months and years to come, computer simulations (模拟) will be used to further study the possible chemistries of the atmosphere on Venus. More laboratory experiments will be conducted to try to identify other ways the phosphine there could be produced. However, there is no guarantee that these efforts will reveal the true nature of this substance on Venus. A newly-proposed strategy is to directly sample the atmosphere and surface of Venus.(在未来的几个月和几年里,计算机模拟将被用来进一步研究金星大气层可能的化学成分。将进行更多的实验室实验,试图确定在那里产生磷化氢的其他方式。然而,不能保证这些努力会揭示金星上这种物质的真实性质。一种新提出的策略是直接对金星的大气层和表面进行采样)”可知,第三段主要介绍了探索金星上磷化氢的方法。故选B。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段的“The discovery of phosphine in Venus’s atmosphere is a great accomplishment. The scientific efforts may be just what we need to finally refocus on this neglected world.(在金星大气层中发现磷化氢是一项伟大的成就。这些科学努力可能正是我们最终重新关注这个被忽视的世界所需要的)”可知,作者认为在金星上发现磷化氢是一个伟大的成就,并且认为对金星的探索努力是必要的,所以作者对探索金星持支持的态度。故选D。
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入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
The Power of the Unseen
A desire to learn from the successful is a natural instinct (本能). However, this can be problematic if we don’t take “survivorship bias (幸存者偏差)” into consideration. In simple terms, this comes about when we see only the “survivors” without looking at the whole dataset. ___36___ At the time, the American military asked mathematician (数学家) Abraham Wald to study how best to protect aeroplanes from being shot down. In the beginning, their plan had been to examine the planes returning from combat (战斗). They’d see where they were hit the worst and then strengthen those areas.
But Wald realized they had fallen prey to survivorship bias. Their analysis was missing a valuable part of the picture: the planes that were hit but that hadn’t made it back. The bullet holes the military were looking at actually indicated the areas where a plane could be hit and keep flying. Those were exactly the areas that didn’t need reinforcing (加固).
___37___ For example, a gym might feature those who’ve built up their bodies as a result of working out. What they never show is those who signed up but achieved no more than an emptied bank account.
Scientists might seem to be a group of people that wouldn’t be victims of survivorship bias. But for years, many scientific journals have been criticized for a “publication bias” toward studies that are interesting or that show significant results.
A subtler (更微妙的) source of survivorship bias appears when society turns its attention to successful individuals. ___38___ For example, a number of today’s billionaires — Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg, for example — achieved their success despite never going to or finishing university. Hearing about stories like this is encouraging: If they achieved riches without university, it’s easy to believe that surely I can, too. But this is another example of survivorship bias. ___39___ In 2018, the employment rate for graduates in the U.K. was 88%, and 72% for non-graduates. The median (中位数的) annual salary for a graduate was $43,000, and $30,000 for a non-graduate. Although university isn’t necessary for one to be rich, looking at the whole picture rather than just the survivors makes clear that it does help.
___40___ Such people must be unrepresentative of the bigger picture, and thus one should be careful about copying them. After all, if everyone was succeeding by taking a big risk, it can’t have been that big a risk.
A. Often our attention is drawn to people who achieve success despite facing many difficulties or take big risks.
B. Once you are familiar with the idea of survivorship bias, you can start spotting it everywhere.
C. We tend to think success is due to particular characteristics which can be copied.
D. The most famous example of survivorship bias dates back to World War II.
E. If you look at all those who don’t go to college, rather than just the successful examples, a very different picture emerges.
F. In fact, the danger in basing your understanding of the world on those who have succeeded taking “big risks” is clear.
G. It’s understandable that journal editors don’t want to use limited space to feature experiments where little happens.
【答案】36. D 37. B 38. A 39. E 40. F
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了幸存者偏差这一概念,指出我们在看到成功者时,往往只关注到他们,而忽视了那些没有成功的人,这种偏差会影响我们的判断和决策。
【36题详解】
根据下文“At the time, the American military asked mathematician (数学家) Abraham Wald to study how best to protect aeroplanes from being shot down.(当时,美国军方请数学家亚伯拉罕·沃尔德(Abraham Wald)研究如何最好地保护飞机不被击落)”可知,下文提到了美国军方请数学家研究如何最好地保护飞机不被击落,这是二战时期的一个具体事例,与D项“The most famous example of survivorship bias dates back to World War II.(幸存者偏差最著名的例子可以追溯到第二次世界大战)”表达的含义一致,故选D项。
【37题详解】
根据下文“For example, a gym might feature those who’ve built up their bodies as a result of working out. What they never show is those who signed up but achieved no more than an emptied bank account (例如,健身房可能会展示那些通过锻炼塑造了身材的人。他们从不展示的是那些报名但只落得个银行账户空空如也的人)”可知,下文通过健身房的例子来说明幸存者偏差无处不在,与B项“Once you are familiar with the idea of survivorship bias, you can start spotting it everywhere(一旦你熟悉了幸存者偏差的概念,你就可以开始在任何地方发现它)”表达的含义一致,故选B项。
【38题详解】
根据下文“For example, a number of today’s billionaires — Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg, for example — achieved their success despite never going to or finishing university(例如,当今的许多亿万富翁——比如比尔·盖茨和马克·扎克伯格——尽管从未上过大学或完成大学学业,但仍取得了成功)”可知,下文通过比尔·盖茨和马克·扎克伯格的例子来说明有些人尽管面临许多困难或冒了大风险,但仍然取得了成功,与A项“Often our attention is drawn to people who achieve success despite facing many difficulties or take big risks(我们的注意力常常被那些尽管面临许多困难或冒了大风险但仍取得成功的人所吸引)”表达的含义一致,故选A项。
【39题详解】
根据上文“But this is another example of survivorship bias.(但这是幸存者偏差的另一个例子)”以及下文“In 2018, the employment rate for graduates in the U.K. was 88%, and 72% for non-graduates. The median (中位数的) annual salary for a graduate was 43,000,and 30,000 for a non-graduate(2018年,英国大学毕业生的就业率为88%,非大学毕业生为72%。大学毕业生的年薪中位数为43,000美元,非大学毕业生为30,000美元)”可知,上文提到比尔·盖茨和马克·扎克伯格的例子是幸存者偏差的另一个例子,下文通过对比大学毕业生和非大学毕业生的就业率和年薪来说明如果只看那些没有上大学的成功人士,而不是所有没有上大学的人,就会得出一个完全不同的结论,与E项“If you look at all those who don’t go to college, rather than just the successful examples, a very different picture emerges.(如果你看所有那些没有上大学的人,而不仅仅是成功的例子,一个完全不同的画面就会出现)”表达的含义一致,故选E项。
【40题详解】
根据下文“Such people must be unrepresentative of the bigger picture, and thus one should be careful about copying them.(这样的人不能代表整体情况,因此应该谨慎模仿他们)”可知,下文提到这样的人不能代表整体情况,因此应该谨慎模仿他们,可推理出此处说的是把你对世界的理解建立在那些成功冒了“大风险”的人的基础上是危险的,与F项“In fact, the danger in basing your understanding of the world on those who have succeeded taking “big risks” is clear.(事实上,把你对世界的理解建立在那些成功冒了“大风险”的人的基础上是危险的,这一点很明显)”表达的含义一致,故选F项。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了同济大学为满足学生深夜用餐需求,将食堂营业至晚11点并提供平价健康餐食的举措,同时提及学生深夜饮食健康及“新生十五磅”现象。
【56题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:事实上,一天三餐根本不足以满足他们无尽的饥饿。此处考查固定结构be enough to do sth,表示“足够做某事”,不定式作结果状语,故填to satisfy。
【57题详解】
考查形容词。句意:近日,同济大学决定将食堂营业至晚11点,并以实惠的价格提供健康餐食。此处修饰名词prices,需用形容词作定语,afford的形容词形式为affordable,意为“负担得起的、实惠的”,符合语境,故填affordable。
【58题详解】
考查动词时态和语态。句意:该校餐饮服务部主任傅秦军在接受采访时表示:“学生们学习到深夜后通常会饿,但我们的食堂过去晚上7点后就停止营业了。”主语Fu Qinjun与interview之间为被动关系,且动作发生在过去,应用一般过去时的被动语态,主语为单数,故填was interviewed。
【59题详解】
考查表语从句。句意:这就是学生们转而选择校外摊贩的原因,但这些食物的质量和安全性并不够好。分析句子结构可知,此处为表语从句,从句解释前文现象的原因,应用连接词why引导,故填why。
【60题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:我们期望这一举措能改善这种情况。此处为宾语从句的谓语动词,主句谓语expected为一般过去时,从句动作“改善情况”发生在主句动作之后,应用过去将来时,故填would improve。
【61题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:这对学生们来说是个好消息,他们现在有了健康的深夜饮食选择,而不必依赖快餐和便利店的零食。分析句子结构可知,此处为限制性定语从句,先行词为students,从句中缺少主语,应用关系代词who/that引导,故填who/that。
【62题详解】
考查连词。句意:虽然这些食物往往能让我们的大脑产生愉悦感,但过量食用基本上是不健康的,还会让我们发胖。前文讲食物带来的愉悦感,后文讲过量食用的危害,前后为转折关系,且空格位于句首,应用连词Although/Though/While引导让步状语从句,故填Although/Though/While。
【63题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:虽然这些食物往往能让我们的大脑产生愉悦感,但过量食用基本上是不健康的,还会让我们发胖。此处为状语从句的省略(当从句主语与主句一致,且从句含有be时,可省略从句的主语和be),完整结构为when they are eaten,省略主语和be动词后,保留过去分词形式,故填eaten。
【64题详解】
考查介词。句意:没有妈妈的照顾,他们往往会吃得过多。结合前文Freshman Fifteen现象(学生离家后发胖),可知此处表示“没有妈妈的照顾”,应用介词without,句首单词首字母大写,故填Without。
【65题详解】
考查冠词。句意:不过,对年轻人来说,有健康的食欲是件好事。appetite为可数名词单数,此处表示“一种健康的食欲”,为泛指,且healthy是以辅音音素开头的单词,应用不定冠词a,故填a。

A MOTHER’S DAY SURPRISE
The twins were filled with excitement as they thought of the surprise they were planning for Mother’s Day. How pleased and proud Mother would be when they brought her breakfast in bed. They planned to make French toast and chicken porridge. They had watched their mother in the kitchen. There was nothing to it. Jenna and Jeff knew exactly what to do.
The big day came at last. The alarm rang at 6 a.m. The pair went down the stairs quietly to the kitchen. They decided to boil the porridge first. They put some rice into a pot of water and left it to boil while they made the French toast. Jeff broke two eggs into a plate and added in some milk. Jenna found the bread and put two slices into the egg mixture. Next, Jeff turned on the second stove burner to heat up the frying pan. Everything was going smoothly until Jeff started frying the bread. The pan was too hot and the bread turned black within seconds. Jenna threw the burnt piece into the sink and put in the other slice of bread. This time, she turned down the fire so it cooked nicely.
Then Jeff noticed steam shooting out of the pot and the lid starting to shake. The next minute, the porridge boiled over and put out the fire. Jenna panicked. Thankfully, Jeff stayed calm and turned off the gas quickly. But the stove was a mess now. Jenna told Jeff to clean it up so they could continue to cook the rest of the porridge. But Jeff’s hand touched the hot burner and he gave a cry of pain. Jenna made him put his hand in cold water. Then she caught the smell of burning. Oh dear! The piece of bread in the pan had turned black as well.
