The website: https://www.shanghaimuseum.net (如果你对中国古代工艺美术感兴趣，那么在线上海博物馆绝对值得你花时间。网站：https://www.shanghaimuseum.net)”可知，对中国古代工艺美术感兴趣的人应该访问https://www.shanghaimuseum.net。故选D。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。由Mogao Caves部分中的“Now visitors can directly browse dozens of classic caves and appreciate the murals (壁画) by cave rooms through the “Digital Dunhuang”, the website of the Mogao Caves. (如今，游客可以通过莫高窟的官方网站“数字敦煌”，直接浏览数十个经典洞窟，并通过洞窟内的房间欣赏壁画。)”可知，游客通过“数字敦煌”能看到经典洞窟和壁画。故选B。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第一段“Some of the best museums across China are putting their exhibitions online in VR format for free. Why not take a detailed online tour at museums that you would not otherwise have time for? (中国一些最好的博物馆正在把他们的展览以VR的形式免费放到网上。为什么不进行一次详细的在线博物馆之旅呢？)”可知，这篇文章的目的是推荐一个在线游览。故选C。 B Two weeks ago, I had volunteered to raise three newborn American barn owls. When the director of a local wildlife rehabilitation (康复) center first approached me and asked if I would be interested in raising “the babies” I was overjoyed! Twelve years earlier, the center had received a pair of barn owls, and since then more than 100 of them have been bred and released. Thoughts poured through my head of hours happily spent raising these babies and working with them until they were fully grown. Tossing them up into the sky where they would begin their lives anew in the wild would be so incredibly rewarding. However, I had assumed incorrectly that we were going to release all of them. In fact, two of the owls were to be released, but the third owl was to be used as an educational animal. For the center to keep one owl when his two siblings were going to be freed seemed cruel, and this angered me. Sensing my anger, our director suggested that before I denounced the plan for this owl, I should at least go out and help with the educational assignment, to see what is accomplished. While still ready to regard this plan as a horrible use of an owl, I reluctantly agreed to go. Then, things took a 180-degree turn. I found that I had been naive in my assumption that most people knew as much about wildlife as I did, and that they shared my respect for animals. The children at the school where I spoke had never seen the owls or the opossum that I showed them, though both were common inhabitants of our area. Many of them had never even heard of an ocelot. They were full of questions and eager to know more. At that moment, it occurred to me that in front of me were rooms full of 6-and 7-year-olds who, with the “help” of the owls, were learning to view nature in a whole new light. That afternoon, I returned from the educational assignment with a new-found sense of purpose and happily commenced that task at hand — feeding little pieces of mice to Athena, our newest educational ambassador. 4. How did the author react to the director’s request? A. He agreed readily. B. He turned it down. C. He reluctantly said yes. D. He questioned his intention. 5. What does the underlined word denounced in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Finished. B. Evaluated. C. Changed. D. Condemned. 6. What did the author find about the school children? A. They explored the outdoors often. B. They were keen on raising an animal. C. They were almost ignorant of the surrounding wildlife. D. They had volunteered to join the animal education program. 7. What is the best title for the text? A. A kept owl is safeguarding the owl’s future. B. Saving the world begins with saving an owl. C. The earth’s future is in the hands of children. D. Releasing animals to the wild is not the end. 【答案】4. A 5. D 6. C 7. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者抚养幼年仓鸮并参与教育项目的经历，通过这一经历作者认识到抚养野生动物并以此对孩子们进行教育是十分必要的。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“When the director of a local wildlife rehabilitation (康复) center first approached me and asked if I would be interested in raising “the babies” I was overjoyed!(当当地一家野生动物康复中心的负责人第一次联系我，问我是否有兴趣抚养‘婴儿（指幼鸟）’时，我欣喜若狂！)”可知，听到负责人的请求后，作者欣喜若狂，由此推知，作者欣然应允了。故选A。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“For the center to keep one owl when his two siblings were going to be freed seemed cruel, and this angered me.(其中一只仓鸮被中心扣留，另外两只它的兄弟姐妹却要被放生，这似乎很残忍，让我感到很气愤)”可知，作者觉得康复中心计划放飞两只仓鸮而滞留一只的做法是残忍的。由此可推知，作者对这样的计划是不赞同的；“Sensing my anger, our director suggested that before I denounced the plan for this owl, I should at least go out and help with the educational assignment, to see what is accomplished.(我们的主任察觉到我的愤怒，建议我在denounced这只猫头鹰的计划之前，至少应该出去帮忙完成教育任务，看看完成了什么。)”可知，主任建议作者在指责这个计划之前应该去帮忙完成教育任务，看看完成了什么；denounced意思是“谴责；指责”，与blamed同义。故选D。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The children at the school where I spoke had never seen the owls or the opossum that I showed them, though both were common inhabitants of our area. Many of them had never even heard of an ocelot.(我演讲的学校里的孩子们从未见过我给他们看的仓鸮或负鼠，尽管他们都是我们地区的普通居民。他们中的许多人甚至从未听说过豹猫)”可知，这些孩子对周遭的野生动物所知甚少。故选C。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。作者在文中分享了自己的经历：志愿为当地一家动物康复中心喂养三只幼年仓鸮，却发现该康复中心意图在小仓鸮成年后放飞其中的两只，而保留一只用于教育项目。作者觉得这一做法过于残忍，愤懑至极。但当他参与了一次教育项目之后，发现这么做很有意义，随之态度发生改变。结合第二段第二句“For the center to keep one owl when his two siblings were going to be freed seemed cruel, and this angered me.(其中一只仓鸮被中心扣留，另外两只它的兄弟姐妹却要被放生，这似乎很残忍，让我感到很气愤)”和第三段最后一句“At that moment, it occurred to me that in front of me were rooms full of 6- and 7-year-olds who, with the “help” of the owls, were learning to view nature in a whole new light.(在那一刻，我突然意识到，在我面前的教室里挤满了6、7岁的孩子，他们在仓鸮的‘帮助’下，正在学习以全新的视角看待自然)”可知，作者认识到留下一只仓鸮是十分有必要的，这样有利于孩子们了解自然，才能更好的保护野生动物。故A选项“饲养仓鸮就是保护仓鸮的未来”适合作为本文标题。故选A。 C A moment occurs in the exchange between professor and student when each of us adopts a look. My look says, “What, you don’t understand?” Theirs says, “We don’t. And we think you’re making it up.” We are having a problem. Basically, we’ve all read the same story, but we haven’t used the same analytical approaches. It may seem at times as if the professor is inventing interpretations out of thin air. Actually, the truth is that as the slightly more experienced reader, the professor has acquired over the years the use of a certain “language reading”. Besides, he has grasped three professional tools-memory, symbol and pattern. These items separate the professional readers from the ordinary ones. English professors are cursed with memory. When reading a new book, I constantly seek out connections and inferences, recalling faces and themes from past readings. I can’t not do it, although there are plenty of times when that ability is not something I want to exercise. This does not necessarily improve the experience of popular entertainment. Professors also read and think symbolically. Everything is a symbol of something, it seems, until proven otherwise. We ask: What does the thing over there represent? The kind of mind that works its way through undergraduate and then graduate classes in literature and criticism tends to see things as existing in themselves while also representing something else. This tendency to understand the world in symbolic terms is enhanced by years of training and rewards the symbolic imagination. A related phenomenon in professorial reading is pattern recognition. Most professional students of literature learn to take in the specific detail while seeing the patterns that the detail reveals. Experience has proved to them that life and books fall into similar patterns. Literature is full of patterns, and your reading experience will be much more rewarding when you can step back from the work, even while you are reading it, and look for those patterns. 8. How does the author introduce the topic? A. By describing a real-life scene. B. By using popular quotes. C. By presenting conflicting ideas. D. By raising an interesting question. 9. Why do the students think the professor is making up interpretations? A. They have limited life experience. B. They lack chances for sufficient reading. C. They are unable to analyze the text thoroughly. D. They do not trust the professor’s teaching abilities. 10. What does paragraph 3 say about English professors? A. They have a strong desire to not have their good memory. B. Their reading habit doesn’t always guarantee desirable effects. C. Their memory adds to their reading pleasure of popular works. D. They keep making connections with their own life while reading. 11. Which is the author’s suggestion on reading literature? A. Identify the hidden text modes. B. Perceive many things at the same time. C. Look for details and language patterns. D. Memorize patterns of symbolic meanings. 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了教授和学生在阅读文学作品时采用的不同分析方法以及他们之间的交流和理解上的挑战。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“A moment occurs in the exchange between professor and student when each of us adopts a look. My look says, “What, you don’t understand?” Theirs says, “We don’t. And we think you’re making it up.” ( 在教授和学生的交流中，我们每个人都有一个眼神。我的表情在说：“什么，你不明白吗？”他们的回答是：“我们没有。我们认为这是你瞎编的”)”并结合下文指出是分析方法的不同导致交流和理解上的挑战推知，作者通过描述教授和学生之间交流的实际场景引入了话题，故选A。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Actually, the truth is that as the slightly more experienced reader, the professor has acquired over the years the use of a certain “language reading”. Besides, he has grasped three professional tools-memory, symbol and pattern. These items separate the professional readers from the ordinary ones. (事实上，事实是，作为稍微有经验的读者，教授多年来已经学会了使用某种“语言阅读”。此外，他还掌握了三种专业工具——记忆、符号和图案。这些项目将专业读者与普通读者区分开来)”推知，学生们可能认为教授在编造解释，是因为相较于教授他们是普通的读者，没有掌握一些阅读技巧，导致无法完全理解文章内容。故选C。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“English professors are cursed with memory. When reading a new book, I constantly seek out connections and inferences, recalling faces and themes from past readings. I can’t not do it, although there are plenty of times when that ability is not something I want to exercise. This does not necessarily improve the experience of popular entertainment(英语教授的记忆力很差。在阅读一本新书时，我不断地寻找联系和推理，从过去的阅读中回忆面孔和主题。我不能不做，尽管很多时候我不想锻炼这种能力。这并不一定会改善大众娱乐的体验)”可知，英语教授的阅读习惯并不一定能保证理想的效果。故选B。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Literature is full of patterns, and your reading experience will be much more rewarding when you can step back from the work, even while you are reading it, and look for those patterns.(文学作品充满了模式，如果你能从作品中退一步，甚至在阅读的过程中寻找这些模式，你的阅读体验将会更有意义。)”可知，文学阅读充满着规律和模式，我们在阅读过程中需要停下来，统揽全局，然后在全局中寻找这些规律和模式，故选A。 D Researchers have developed a machine learning algorithm (算法) to accurately detect heart murmurs (杂音) in dogs, one of the main indicators of heart disease. The research team, led by the University of Cambridge, adapted an algorithm. originally designed for humans and found it could automatically detect and grade heart murmurs in dogs, based on audio recordings from digital stethoscopes (听诊器). “Heart disease in humans is a huge health issue, but in dogs it’s an even bigger problem,” said Dr Andrew McDonald from Cambridge’s Department of Engineering. “Roughly one in every thirty dogs seen by a vet has a heart murmur, although the incidence is higher in small breed dogs and older dogs. Most smaller dog breeds will have heart disease when they get older, but obviously dogs can’t communicate in the same way that humans can, so it’s up to primary care vets to detect heart disease early enough so it can be treated.” The researchers started with a database of heart sounds from about 1,000 human patients and developed the machine learning algorithm. They then adapted it so it could be used with heart sounds from dogs. The researchers gathered data from almost 800 dogs that were undergoing routine heart examination. All dogs received a full physical examination and heart scan to grade any heart murmurs and identify heart disease. Their heart sounds were recorded using an electronic stethoscope. The researchers adjusted the algorithm so it could both detect and grade heart murmurs based on the audio recordings, and tell the difference between murmurs associated with mild disease and those reflecting advanced heart disease that required further treatment. “So many people talk about AL as a threat to jobs, but for me, I see it as a tool that will make me a better doctor, ” said.co-author. Professor Jose Novo Matos. “We don’t have enough time or veterinary (兽医的) specialists to screen every dog with a murmur. But tools like these could help vets and owners, so we can quickly identify those dogs that are most in need of treatment.” 12. What is the function of the machine learning algorithm? A. To record sounds of dogs. B. To treat heart disease in dogs. C. To identify and rate heart murmurs in dogs. D. To train vets to recognize heart murmurs in dogs. 13. Why is heart disease in dogs considered a bigger problem than that in humans? A. Dogs can’t express their symptoms like humans. B. Vets are less skilled in detecting heart disease. C. Dogs have a higher incidence of heart disease. D. Heart disease in dogs is harder to treat. 14. What can be inferred about the researchers’ approach to developing the algorithm? A. Adapting the algorithm for dogs was unplanned. B. Dog data was prioritized over human data to r accuracy. C. The algorithm is less accurate for dogs than for humans. D. The development of the algorithm was based on human data. 15. What is Jose Novo Matos attitude to the use of AI in veterinary medicine? A. Skeptical. B. Negative. C. Positive. D. Neutral. 【答案】12. C 13. A 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了研究人员开发的一种机器学习算法，该算法能够准确检测狗的心脏杂音，这是心脏病的主要指标之一。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Researchers have developed a machine learning algorithm (算法) to accurately detect heart murmurs (杂音) in dogs, one of the main indicators of heart disease.(研究人员开发出了一种机器学习算法，能够准确检测出狗的心脏杂音，而心脏杂音是心脏病的主要指标之一。)”以及第三段“The researchers adjusted the algorithm so it could both detect and grade heart murmurs based on the audio recordings, and tell the difference between murmurs associated with mild disease and those reflecting advanced heart disease that required further treatment.(研究人员对算法进行了调整，使其既能根据音频记录检测并对心脏杂音进行分级，又能区分与轻微疾病相关的杂音和那些反映出需要进一步治疗的晚期心脏病的杂音。)”可知，该算法可以自动检测狗的心脏杂音并对其进行分级，还能区分不同程度的心脏杂音。故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段““Roughly one in every thirty dogs seen by a vet has a heart murmur, although the incidence is higher in small breed dogs and older dogs. Most smaller dog breeds will have heart disease when they get older, but obviously dogs can’t communicate in the same way that humans can, so it’s up to primary care vets to detect heart disease early enough so it can be treated.”(“在兽医接诊的狗中，大约每三十只里就有一只存在心脏杂音，不过在小型犬种和老年犬中，心脏杂音的发生率更高。大多数小型犬种在年老时都会患上心脏病，但很明显，狗无法像人类那样进行交流，所以这就需要初级保健兽医尽早发现心脏病，以便能够对其进行治疗。”)”可知，狗不能像人类那样交流，无法表达自己的症状，这使得发现狗的心脏病变得困难，需要兽医尽早发现，所以心脏病在狗身上被认为是更严重的问题。故选A。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“The researchers started with a database of heart sounds from about 1,000 human patients and developed the machine learning algorithm.(研究人员从一个包含约1000名人类患者心脏声音的数据库入手，开发了这种机器学习算法。)”可知，研究人员是从大约1000名人类患者的心脏声音数据库开始，进而开发了这种机器学习算法，所以算法的开发是基于人类数据的。故选D。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段““So many people talk about AL as a threat to jobs, but for me, I see it as a tool that will make me a better doctor, ” said.co-author. Professor Jose Novo Matos. “We don’t have enough time or veterinary (兽医的) specialists to screen every dog with a murmur. But tools like these could help vets and owners, so we can quickly identify those dogs that are most in need of treatment.”(论文的合著者Jose Novo Matos教授说：“很多人都认为人工智能是对工作的一种威胁，但对我来说，我把它看作是一种能让我成为更优秀医生的工具。” “我们没有足够的时间，也没有足够的兽医专家来对每一只存在心脏杂音的狗进行筛查。但像这样的工具可以帮助兽医和宠物主人，这样我们就能快速确定哪些狗最需要治疗。”)”可知，Jose Novo Matos对人工智能在兽医领域的应用持积极的态度。故选C。 第二节 七选五(共5小题;每小题2.5分，共12.5分) It’s happened to all of us: a song comes on the radio, and we are immediately transported back to a time in our past. ____16____ There are a few things that connect tunes with our memories. Music is often a necessary element of many important life events, and it is also very effective in arresting our attention. ____17____ Besides, the emotional nature of music helps make it particularly memorable. We often become familiar with a piece of music because we hear it as background music. The more familiar a piece of music is, the more effective it is in bringing back memories. ____18____ The reason is that we are far more likely to hear a song over and over again than to watch a film or a TV programme in the same way. Tiffany Jenkins, writing for a culture column, has a different opinion: ____19____ She tells us how throughout history oral cultures have passed important knowledge from generation to generation through songs because of this characteristic. The rhythm (韵律) and rhyme in lines of songs all serve as memory aids. ____20____ This fact corresponds with what many experts call the “reminiscence bump (怀旧性记忆)”, where older adults (over forty) have increased recollection of events that occurred during their adolescence and early adulthood. It’s clear that our memories and music are closely linked — to the point that music is being used to help Alzheimer’s disease sufferers access memories that they thought they had lost. A. Familiarity is important. B. Music itself is easy to remember. C. But what makes music so effective in doing this? D. Our musical preference usually forms during our teens. E. This applies to music more than other cultural products. F. Pop music especially can be connected with an important memory. G. Music and these life events are likely to be linked together in our memories. 【答案】16. C 17. G 18. E 19. B 20. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章对音乐为什么总是会唤起人们的某些回忆进行了解释。 【16题详解】 根据前文“It’s happened to all of us: a song comes on the radio, and we are immediately transported back to a time in our past.(我们每个人都有过这样的经历：收音机里响起一首歌，我们立刻被传送回过去的某个时间。)”和后文“There are a few things that connect tunes with our memories.(有一些东西可以将音乐与我们的记忆联系起来。)”可知，此处是指音乐是如何与我们的回忆联系在一起的，所以选项C“但是什么让音乐在这方面如此有效呢？”切合文意。故选C。 【17题详解】 根据前文“Music is often a necessary element of many important life events, and it is also very effective in arresting our attention.(音乐往往是许多重要生活事件的必要元素，它也非常有效地吸引我们的注意力。)”可知，此处是指因此音乐和生活事件有可能在我们的记忆里产生联系，所以选项G“音乐和这些生活事件很可能在我们的记忆中联系在一起。”切合文意。故选G。 【18题详解】 根据后文“The reason is that we are far more likely to hear a song over and over again than to watch a film or a TV programme in the same way.(原因是我们更有可能一遍又一遍地听一首歌，而不是用同样的方式看电影或电视节目。)”可知，此处是指比起电影或电视节目等音乐更有可能唤起回忆，所以选项E“比起其他文化产品，这更适用于音乐。”切合文意。故选E。 【19题详解】 根据后文“She tells us how throughout history oral cultures have passed important knowledge from generation to generation through songs because of this characteristic. The rhythm (韵律) and rhyme in lines of songs all serve as memory aids.(她告诉我们，由于这一特点，在整个历史中，口头文化是如何通过歌曲将重要的知识代代相传的。歌词的节奏和韵律都可以帮助记忆。)”可知，此处是指音乐容易记忆，所以选项B“音乐本身很容易记住。”切合文意。故选B。 【20题详解】 根据后文“This fact corresponds with what many experts call the “reminiscence bump (怀旧性记忆)”, where older adults (over forty) have increased recollection of events that occurred during their adolescence and early adulthood.(这一事实与许多专家所说的“怀旧性记忆”相吻合，即老年人（40岁以上）对青春期和成年早期发生的事件的回忆增加。)”可知，此处是指我们的音乐喜好通常形成于青少年时期，所以选项D“我们的音乐偏好通常在青少年时期形成。”切合文意。故选D。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节 完形填空(共15小题;每小题1分，共15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出适合的填入对应的空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。 Every Christmas, my mom would fill our stockings with small toys and candies. At the very tip of the stocking, the very ____21____ thing that we would pull out was an orange. For years, I hated the tradition. It was ____22____ to pull an orange out of my ____23____ after uncovering so many fun and delicious treats. An orange wasn’t special.

B Two weeks ago, I had volunteered to raise three newborn American barn owls. When the director of a local wildlife rehabilitation (康复) center first approached me and asked if I would be interested in raising “the babies” I was overjoyed! Twelve years earlier, the center had received a pair of barn owls, and since then more than 100 of them have been bred and released. Thoughts poured through my head of hours happily spent raising these babies and working with them until they were fully grown. Tossing them up into the sky where they would begin their lives anew in the wild would be so incredibly rewarding. However, I had assumed incorrectly that we were going to release all of them. In fact, two of the owls were to be released, but the third owl was to be used as an educational animal. For the center to keep one owl when his two siblings were going to be freed seemed cruel, and this angered me. Sensing my anger, our director suggested that before I denounced the plan for this owl, I should at least go out and help with the educational assignment, to see what is accomplished. While still ready to regard this plan as a horrible use of an owl, I reluctantly agreed to go. Then, things took a 180-degree turn. I found that I had been naive in my assumption that most people knew as much about wildlife as I did, and that they shared my respect for animals. The children at the school where I spoke had never seen the owls or the opossum that I showed them, though both were common inhabitants of our area. Many of them had never even heard of an ocelot. They were full of questions and eager to know more. At that moment, it occurred to me that in front of me were rooms full of 6-and 7-year-olds who, with the “help” of the owls, were learning to view nature in a whole new light. That afternoon, I returned from the educational assignment with a new-found sense of purpose and happily commenced that task at hand — feeding little pieces of mice to Athena, our newest educational ambassador. 4. How did the author react to the director’s request? A. He agreed readily. B. He turned it down. C. He reluctantly said yes. D. He questioned his intention. 5. What does the underlined word denounced in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Finished. B. Evaluated. C. Changed. D. Condemned. 6. What did the author find about the school children? A. They explored the outdoors often. B. They were keen on raising an animal. C. They were almost ignorant of the surrounding wildlife. D. They had volunteered to join the animal education program. 7. What is the best title for the text? A. A kept owl is safeguarding the owl’s future. B. Saving the world begins with saving an owl. C. The earth’s future is in the hands of children. D. Releasing animals to the wild is not the end. C A moment occurs in the exchange between professor and student when each of us adopts a look. My look says, “What, you don’t understand?” Theirs says, “We don’t. And we think you’re making it up.” We are having a problem. Basically, we’ve all read the same story, but we haven’t used the same analytical approaches. It may seem at times as if the professor is inventing interpretations out of thin air. Actually, the truth is that as the slightly more experienced reader, the professor has acquired over the years the use of a certain “language reading”. Besides, he has grasped three professional tools-memory, symbol and pattern. These items separate the professional readers from the ordinary ones. English professors are cursed with memory. When reading a new book, I constantly seek out connections and inferences, recalling faces and themes from past readings. I can’t not do it, although there are plenty of times when that ability is not something I want to exercise. This does not necessarily improve the experience of popular entertainment. Professors also read and think symbolically. Everything is a symbol of something, it seems, until proven otherwise. We ask: What does the thing over there represent? The kind of mind that works its way through undergraduate and then graduate classes in literature and criticism tends to see things as existing in themselves while also representing something else. This tendency to understand the world in symbolic terms is enhanced by years of training and rewards the symbolic imagination. A related phenomenon in professorial reading is pattern recognition. Most professional students of literature learn to take in the specific detail while seeing the patterns that the detail reveals. Experience has proved to them that life and books fall into similar patterns. Literature is full of patterns, and your reading experience will be much more rewarding when you can step back from the work, even while you are reading it, and look for those patterns. 8. How does the author introduce the topic? A. By describing a real-life scene. B. By using popular quotes. C. By presenting conflicting ideas. D. By raising an interesting question. 9. Why do the students think the professor is making up interpretations? A. They have limited life experience. B. They lack chances for sufficient reading. C. They are unable to analyze the text thoroughly. D. They do not trust the professor’s teaching abilities. 10. What does paragraph 3 say about English professors? A. They have a strong desire to not have their good memory. B. Their reading habit doesn’t always guarantee desirable effects. C. Their memory adds to their reading pleasure of popular works. D. They keep making connections with their own life while reading. 11. Which is the author’s suggestion on reading literature? A. Identify the hidden text modes. B. Perceive many things at the same time. C. Look for details and language patterns. D. Memorize patterns of symbolic meanings. D Researchers have developed a machine learning algorithm (算法) to accurately detect heart murmurs (杂音) in dogs, one of the main indicators of heart disease. The research team, led by the University of Cambridge, adapted an algorithm. originally designed for humans and found it could automatically detect and grade heart murmurs in dogs, based on audio recordings from digital stethoscopes (听诊器). “Heart disease in humans is a huge health issue, but in dogs it’s an even bigger problem,” said Dr Andrew McDonald from Cambridge’s Department of Engineering. “Roughly one in every thirty dogs seen by a vet has a heart murmur, although the incidence is higher in small breed dogs and older dogs. Most smaller dog breeds will have heart disease when they get older, but obviously dogs can’t communicate in the same way that humans can, so it’s up to primary care vets to detect heart disease early enough so it can be treated.” The researchers started with a database of heart sounds from about 1,000 human patients and developed the machine learning algorithm. They then adapted it so it could be used with heart sounds from dogs. The researchers gathered data from almost 800 dogs that were undergoing routine heart examination. All dogs received a full physical examination and heart scan to grade any heart murmurs and identify heart disease. Their heart sounds were recorded using an electronic stethoscope. The researchers adjusted the algorithm so it could both detect and grade heart murmurs based on the audio recordings, and tell the difference between murmurs associated with mild disease and those reflecting advanced heart disease that required further treatment. “So many people talk about AL as a threat to jobs, but for me, I see it as a tool that will make me a better doctor, ” said.co-author. Professor Jose Novo Matos. “We don’t have enough time or veterinary (兽医的) specialists to screen every dog with a murmur. But tools like these could help vets and owners, so we can quickly identify those dogs that are most in need of treatment.” 12. What is the function of the machine learning algorithm? A. To record sounds of dogs. B. To treat heart disease in dogs. C. To identify and rate heart murmurs in dogs. D. To train vets to recognize heart murmurs in dogs. 13. Why is heart disease in dogs considered a bigger problem than that in humans? A. Dogs can’t express their symptoms like humans. B. Vets are less skilled in detecting heart disease. C. Dogs have a higher incidence of heart disease. D. Heart disease in dogs is harder to treat. 14. What can be inferred about the researchers’ approach to developing the algorithm? A. Adapting the algorithm for dogs was unplanned. B. Dog data was prioritized over human data to r accuracy. C. The algorithm is less accurate for dogs than for humans. D. The development of the algorithm was based on human data. 15. What is Jose Novo Matos attitude to the use of AI in veterinary medicine? A. Skeptical. B. Negative. C. Positive. D. Neutral. 第二节 七选五(共5小题;每小题2.5分，共12.5分) It’s happened to all of us: a song comes on the radio, and we are immediately transported back to a time in our past. ____16____ There are a few things that connect tunes with our memories. Music is often a necessary element of many important life events, and it is also very effective in arresting our attention. ____17____ Besides, the emotional nature of music helps make it particularly memorable. We often become familiar with a piece of music because we hear it as background music. The more familiar a piece of music is, the more effective it is in bringing back memories. ____18____ The reason is that we are far more likely to hear a song over and over again than to watch a film or a TV programme in the same way. Tiffany Jenkins, writing for a culture column, has a different opinion: ____19____ She tells us how throughout history oral cultures have passed important knowledge from generation to generation through songs because of this characteristic. The rhythm (韵律) and rhyme in lines of songs all serve as memory aids. ____20____ This fact corresponds with what many experts call the “reminiscence bump (怀旧性记忆)”, where older adults (over forty) have increased recollection of events that occurred during their adolescence and early adulthood. It’s clear that our memories and music are closely linked — to the point that music is being used to help Alzheimer’s disease sufferers access memories that they thought they had lost. A. Familiarity is important. B. Music itself is easy to remember. C. But what makes music so effective in doing this? D. Our musical preference usually forms during our teens. E. This applies to music more than other cultural products. F. Pop music especially can be connected with an important memory. G. Music and these life events are likely to be linked together in our memories. 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节 完形填空(共15小题;每小题1分，共15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出适合的填入对应的空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。 Every Christmas, my mom would fill our stockings with small toys and candies.
