Here is a look back at some notable AI developments in 2022. Meta’s speech-to-speech translation Facebook’s parent Meta said it had built a technology tool to directly translate between English and the Hokkien language, a spoken language without a widely used written form. Meta said it trained its AI models on written text examples from Mandarin Chinese. In addition, developers used an encoding tool designed to compare spoken Hokkien to similar English text. Method to identify Parkinson’s disease Researchers announced a new AI method to identify Parkinson’s disease. The system works by measuring a person’s breathing patterns during sleep. With just one night of sleep, the AI system was able to correctly identify Parkinson’s up to 86 percent of the time. With 12 nights of data, the rate went up to 95 percent. Tool to interpret pig emotions Researchers announced they had created a technology tool that uses pig sounds to interpret different emotions. The tool is based on thousands of recordings collected from more than 400 pigs throughout their lives. The scientists developed an AI-driven approach to identify a series of emotions pigs could be experiencing. It is expected to lead to further systems farmers can use to improve the productivity and well-being of their animals. Tool to fill in missing words in ancient writings Researchers — led by Alphabet’s AI company Deep Mind — said they developed an AI system to help fill in missing words in ancient writings. The tool, called Ithaca, is designed to help historians repair the writings and identify when and where they were written. The team said that when historians work on their own, the success rate for repairing damaged writings is about 25 percent. But when humans teamed up with Ithaca to assist in their work, the success rate jumped to 72 percent. 31. Which can be used for cross-cultural communication? A. Tool to interpret pig emotions. B. Meta’s speech-to-speech translation. C. Method to identify Parkinson’s disease. D. Tool to fill in missing words in ancient writings. 32. Who will most probably be interested in Ithaca? A. A historian. B. A biologist. C. A chemist. D. A sculptor. 33. What do the inventions have in common? A. They focus on health issues. B. They are developed by Facebook. C. They aim to promote productivity. D. They are AI-driven technology tools. B Susan Mubanga grew up in Zambia, a country in Africa, where she often gazed at the night sky with wonder. Yet she noticed that very few people in her community had ever looked through a telescope. For most, the stars and planets remained a distant mystery. Susan believed that although the sky belongs to everyone, the chance to explore it does not. This inequality troubled her and sparked an idea. In 2014, Susan and her partner, Ms. Mwabisa, started a project called the Traveling Telescope. They used 3D modeling to design small, portable telescopes that could be easily carried to schools and villages. With the help of local volunteers, they visited underserved communities, bringing the wonders of the universe directly to children who had never looked through a telescope. The children’s excitement — seeing Saturn’s rings or the craters of the Moon for the first time — encouraged Susan to continue. Susan’s experience as a volunteer had taught her how to connect with people and share knowledge in simple, inspiring ways. She believed that astronomy should not be limited to scientists. Through the Traveling Telescope, she hoped to spark curiosity and open up the universe to every child, no matter where they lived. Today, the project continues to grow, reaching more schools and communities. It has become a symbol of hope, showing that with creativity and passion, we can help young people dream beyond the skies. 34. What inspired Susan Mubanga to start the Traveling Telescope? A. She wanted to become a famous scientist. B. She found that few people in her community could explore the sky. C. She received a telescope as a gift from her partner. D. She wanted to travel around the world with her telescope. 35. What did Susan and her partner do for the Traveling Telescope? A. They built a space center in Africa. B. They wrote books about astronomy for children. C. They made portable telescopes and brought them to schools and villages. D. They trained local teachers to become astronauts. 36. What does the underlined word “underserved” in Paragraph 2 most likely mean? A. Having no interest in science. B. Lacking enough resources or services. C. Being far away from cities. D. Having too many schools. 37. What is the main idea of the passage? A. A project that brings astronomy to more children. B. The life of a famous scientist in Africa. C. How to build a telescope with 3D modeling. D. The importance of volunteering in education. C There has been a notable rise in pet ownership, with more households welcoming pets into their families as family members. More people have come to appreciate the benefits of human-animal interactions. Nothing compares to the joy of coming home to a loyal companion. The unconditional love of a pet can do more than keep you company. If you own a dog, you can increase physical activity by walking a dog several times a day. If your goal is reducing stress, sometimes watching fish swim can result in a feeling of calmness. So there’s no one type that fits all. Interacting with animals has been proved to help decrease levels of cortisol (a stress-related hormone) and lower blood pressure. Some studies have found that animals can reduce loneliness, increase feelings of social support, and boost your mood. Besides the general benefits, animals can help in the hospital as well as at school. They can serve as a source of comfort and support. Therapy dogs are especially good at this. They’re sometimes brought into hospitals or nursing homes to help reduce patients’ stress and anxiety. Dogs may also aid in the classroom. They can help children improve their attention. Kids who often read to real animals can improve their social skills and are more willing to share, cooperate, and volunteer. While animals bring a wide range of health benefits, they may also bring some risks. For people who are allergic to certain animals, having pets in the home can do more harm than good. Kids, pregnant women, and people with weakened immune systems are at greater risk, because animals can sometimes carry germs that make people sick. Also dog bite prevention is certainly an issue parents need to consider. When considering the joys and responsibilities of pet ownership, it is crucial to approach the decision with wisdom and foresight. Potential pet owners should consider any allergies or health concerns within their household, as well as the long-term responsibility involved in caring for an animal. 38. What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell us? A. Pets can bring joy and love to people. B. Pets can improve people’s social support. C. Pets can help people stay calm and relaxed. D. Pets can benefit people physically and mentally. 39. Why are therapy dogs brought into hospitals? A. To accompany patients without family. B. To assist patients in recovering quickly. C. To help patients ease pressure and worry. D. To help patients learn to care for animals. 40. Which group of people are usually at greater risk of getting sick from pets? A. Non-allergic people. B. Pregnant women and kids. C. Healthy young adults. D. Elderly with strong immunity. 41. What is the author’s attitude towards keeping pets? A. Rational. B. Supportive. C. Opposed. D. Worried. D Perfectionism, often proudly claimed as “an asset”, is increasingly recognized not as a virtue but as a significant psychological burden (负担) in modern society. Contrary to popular belief, perfectionism does not lead to greater success; rather, it often results in long-term dissatisfaction and mental health challenges. Research shows a clear connection between perfectionism and conditions such as depression, anxiety, and eating disorders. Alarmingly, over the past 25 years, perfectionism has been rising sharply, alongside an increase in mental health issues among young people. This rise is closely linked to changes in society. Today’s culture, with its focus on material success, social positions, and constant visibility through social media, fuels the need to appear perfect. Young people feel intense pressure to meet unrealistic standards in their appearance, lifestyle, and achievements. At the same time, an increasingly competitive environment—from standardized testing in schools to performance rankings — teaches them to equate self-worth with external assessment. Psychologists identify three aspects of perfectionism: self-oriented (struggling to be perfect), other-oriented (expecting perfection from others), and socially-expected (feeling that others demand perfection of you). The most harmful is socially-expected perfectionism—the belief that one must meet society’s ever-rising expectations. Studies show that the percentage of young people experiencing medically relevant levels of this form of perfectionism has doubled since 1989, and it is predicted to affect one in three by 2050. Rather than urging young people to become more adaptable, society must question the systems that fuel such harmful perfectionism. True solutions lie in reducing unrealistic social pressures, promoting self-compassion (自我同情), and helping individuals recognize that failure is a natural part of growth—not a mark of incompetence. By celebrating imperfection, we can build a healthier, more humane world for future generations. 42. What do the underlined words “an asset” in paragraph 1 probably mean? A. A good quality. B. A heavy burden. C. A moral standard. D. A secret problem. 43. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. Ways to reduce perfectionism. B. Sources of perfectionism pressure. C. Types of perfectionism behaviors. D. Effects of perfectionism on health. 44. What can we infer about perfectionism from paragraph 3? A. Its meaning has changed over time. B. It is shaped by external expectations. C. It is equally harmful across its different types. D. Its socially-expected form is growing sharply. 45. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Hidden Crisis of Perfectionism B. The Benefits of Perfectionism C. Strategies for Managing Perfectionism D. The Rise of Perfectionism Culture 第Ⅱ卷 非选择题（共25分） 第四部分：写作（共两节，满分25分） 第一节：阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） Capturing a moment in time isn’t just about securing a memory and it also can help us appreciate our life more every day. As a student, my campus has been my whole world. While it may seem limiting, studying with the same classmates and the same teachers in the same classroom every day has given me many opportunities to make great memories. I love the jokes told by my teachers in class: the songs my roommates and I sing together and cheerleaders’ loud cries at basketball games. Even the glow of the sunset with the mixture of purple and vivid red over the playground is mesmerizing. And that is why I began to record my school life, and I’ve kept this habit for three years up until now. The first attempt, in the form of a diary, fell through as soon as my actual experiences became far more exciting than my words. So I bought a camera. I would find how joyful my school life was by recording every fascinating moment in my school life via photos and how much progress I made, which in turn installed (注入) more passion and purpose. As I progressed to senior high school, that camera gave way to camcorder (便携式摄像机) More and more videos drove me to learn video editing. Those valuable videos witnessed me joining the school choir (合唱团), training for sports meets, complaining about the burden of studying and having fun in the dormitory. They have become a labor of love and naturally my source of happiness. When I look back on my diaries, photos and videos during this winter vacation, those fond memories came flooding back. Recording my school life lets me not only capture every precious moment in the course of my growth but also gives me the ability to observe and appreciate my surroundings and create joy in my life. It creates positive impact on my friends, showing them how wonderful life is and how it all depends on how much enthusiasm you show. So imagine how amazed I was when people said they felt youth and vitality through my work! 46. What is the purpose of the capturing the moment in time? (no more than 10 words) ________________________________________________ 47. The underlined word in Paragraph 2 may have a similar meaning as ________. (1 word) 48. Why did the author buy a camera to record his school life? (no more than 12 words) ________________________________________________ 49. What is the title of the passage? (no more than 10 words) ________________________________________________ 50. How do you capture the unforgettable moment in your school life and why? Please explain it.

It’s my great pleasure to talk about “core abilities” today. I think sports and life-long learning are the core abilities that we should have. First of all, health is more important than wealth. So we should pay more attention to our health. It’s necessary for us to spend more time doing sports to keep healthy. We students need to make a plan of exercising and do sports for at least twenty minutes every day. Next, with the rapid development of science and technology, we must have the ability of life-long learning to meet the needs of our work and life. I think the best way of keeping life-long learning is to learn by ourselves. We can learn from book, Internet or even radios. Only by doing this can we take on new challenges any time. I hope that everyone can keep doing sports and keep learning to make ourselves and our life better. That’s all for my speech. Thank you for your listening! 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
