B
I’ve lived in a big city for more than a decade, but it’s only recently that I discovered just how loud it is here. The ring when someone presses the “stop” button on the city bus, loud music from stores, and songs of delivery motorbikes speed out of range.
In reality, I have relied on there being noise around me for the whole of my adult life. Without realizing it, noise became a kind of comfort to me, making me feel less alone.
Then in 2023, I went to a solo writing retreat (静修) and started writing again. It felt wonderful. I felt like I had done something creative for the first time. But when I got home, the noise started up again. I didn’t realize how much noise was hurting me until one day I stood in the shower without my phone playing something. In the silence, I suddenly realized that writing ideas flew to me.
The noise wasn’t just killing my creativity; it was breaking my productivity. Ideas came slower or not at all. None of us are strangers to the negative effects of sound. Studies have shown that noise pollution plays a role in common health issues along with surprising ones like low birth weight.
I’m not a scientist, but it seems clear that the more sound surrounds us, the less connected we become to one another. We lose our desire to truly communicate with our friends or partners, replacing our relationships with talk shows and never-ending social and news updates.
Realizing these, I no longer listen to news while doing housework. And when I’m about to turn something on that I know won’t help me, I head to a favourite coffee shop for a few hours to work instead. Sometimes, I simply sit in silence for a few minutes and let myself feel it and the impact it has had on my writing life. At times, it’s still difficult to choose silence over noise, but it’s worthwhile.
24.How did the author ever feel about the noise?
A.It brings her comfort. B.It’s impressive. C.It makes her excited. D.It’s controllable.
25.What can we know about the author in paragraph 3?
A.She completed a creative work. B.She wasn’t productive at work.
C.She received treatment during the retreat. D.She got ideas for writing in a peaceful environment.
26.What’s a disadvantage of noise?
A.Lowering the birth rate. B.Reducing social contact.
C.Changing thinking habits. D.Increasing work pressure.
27.What does the author do to look for silence?
A.Give up listening to music. B.Adapt to the workplace.
C.Set up a writing company. D.Stay away from useless sounds.
【答案】24.A 25.D 26.B 27.D
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述作者从习惯城市噪音,到发现安静能激发创作灵感,进而意识到噪音危害并主动选择安静的经历与感悟。
24.细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Without realizing it, noise became a kind of comfort to me, making me feel less alone.(在没有意识到的情况下,噪音对我来说变成了一种安慰,让我感觉不那么孤独。)”可知,作者曾经觉得噪音带给她安慰。故选A项。
25.细节理解题。根据第三段中的“In the silence, I suddenly realized that writing ideas flew to me.(在寂静中,我突然意识到写作灵感向我涌来。)”可知,作者在安静的环境中获得了写作的灵感。故选D项。
26.细节理解题。根据第五段中的“I’m not a scientist, but it seems clear that the more sound surrounds us, the less connected we become to one another. We lose our desire to truly communicate with our friends or partners, replacing our relationships with talk shows and never-ending social and news updates. (我不是科学家,但显而易见的是:我们身边的噪音越多,人与人之间的联结就越淡薄。我们失去了与朋友或伴侣真诚交流的渴望,用脱口秀、无休止的社交动态和新闻推送取代了真实的情感关系。)”可知,噪音的一个弊端是减少人们的社交联系。故选B项。
27.细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“I no longer listen to news while doing housework. And when I’m about to turn something on that I know won’t help me, I head to a favourite coffee shop for a few hours to work instead.(我不再在做家务时听新闻。当我准备打开那些我知道对我没有帮助的东西时,我会去一家喜欢的咖啡馆工作几个小时。)”可知,作者通过远离无用的声音来寻找安静。故选D项。
C
Culture clash means the tensions and conflicts caused by different working habits, communication styles, and ways of thinking inside a company. This often happens between employees of different generations, separate departments, or people from various cultural backgrounds. With the rapid growth of remote work and the wide use of AI technology, workplaces have become more complex. This leads to more frequent misunderstandings and frictions among colleagues.
There are three main factors that cause such conflicts. First, employees at different career stages often have different ideas about company development and management. For example, young workers may want quick changes, while senior staff may prefer stability. Disagreements about corporate culture often push many talented employees to leave their jobs. Second, cross-cultural differences can easily cause misunderstandings when companies do business internationally. What is polite in one culture may be rude in another. Third, company mergers often lead to clear culture clashes because the two companies usually have very different values and rules.
Although culture clash is hard to avoid in modern companies, effective methods can be used to reduce its bad influence. Respecting cultural differences and valuing the strengths of each group are very necessary. Clear and regular communication helps build trust and understanding. Providing professional cross-cultural training can also improve cooperation and cut down on unnecessary conflicts.
If managed correctly, culture clash will not hurt the organization. Instead, it can help create a more positive and active working environment, strengthen team spirit and cooperation, and further improve the company’s overall competitiveness in the global market.
28.What is the text mainly about?
A.Keys to managing cross-cultural conflicts
B.Reasons for global market success.
C.Ways to reduce employee stress.
D.Causes and solutions to culture clash.
29.According to the text, why might talented employees choose to leave their jobs?
A.They are unwilling to accept different working styles.
B.They prefer working in companies with different rules.
C.They find it hard to agree with the company’s culture.
D.They are dissatisfied with their salary and benefits.
30.What can be inferred from the last paragraph about culture clash?
A.It can be a driving force for company growth.
B.It has little impact on a company’s development.
C.It is the main cause of employee turnover.
D.It should be possibly avoided in global business.
31.What is the author’s attitude towards culture clash?
A.Doubtful. B.Hopeful. C.Worried. D.Uncaring.
【答案】28.D 29.C 30.A 31.B
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章探讨了职场中文化冲突的成因、影响以及如何将其转化为积极因素,促进公司发展。
28.主旨大意题。通读全文,文章第一段“Culture clash means the tensions and conflicts caused by different working habits, communication styles, and ways of thinking inside a company. This often happens between employees of different generations, separate departments, or people from various cultural backgrounds.(文化冲突是指公司内部由于不同的工作习惯、沟通方式和思维方式而引起的紧张和冲突。这种情况经常发生在不同年龄、不同部门或不同文化背景的员工之间)”介绍文化冲突的定义与发生场景;第二段中心句为“There are three main factors that cause such conflicts.(造成这种冲突的主要因素有三个)”,本段详细说明文化冲突产生的三大原因;第三段中心句为“Although culture clash is hard to avoid in modern companies, effective methods can be used to reduce its bad influence.(虽然在现代企业中,文化冲突是难以避免的,但可以采取有效的方法来减少其不良影响)”,本段阐述缓解文化冲突负面影响的有效方法;第四段说明合理管理文化冲突的积极意义。根据全文内容可知,文章主要围绕文化冲突的成因与解决办法展开论述。故选D。
29.细节理解题。根据第二段中“Disagreements about corporate culture often push many talented employees to leave their jobs.(关于企业文化的分歧常常迫使许多有才华的员工离职)”可知,有才华的员工离职是因为无法认同公司的文化。故选C。
30.推理判断题。根据最后一段“If managed correctly, culture clash will not hurt the organization. Instead, it can help create a more positive and active working environment, strengthen team spirit and cooperation, and further improve the company’s overall competitiveness in the global market.(如果管理得当,文化冲突不会伤害组织。相反,它可以帮助创造一个更加积极主动的工作环境,加强团队精神和合作,进一步提高公司在全球市场上的整体竞争力)”可推断,文化冲突若处理得当,可以成为公司发展的动力。故选A。
31.推理判断题。根据最后一段作者指出文化冲突若管理得当可带来积极影响,如“create a more positive and active working environment, strengthen team spirit and cooperation, and further improve the company’s overall competitiveness(创造一个更加积极主动的工作环境,加强团队精神和合作,进一步提高公司在全球市场上的整体竞争力)”,可以看出作者对文化冲突持积极、抱有希望的态度。故选B。

Tired of standing in line? Wait a bit longer, and you may never have to again. Everyone from Amazon to Silicon Valley start-ups is trying to eliminate lines in retail (零售) stores.
Amazon has opened 24 of its Amazon Go stores, which use cameras and artificial intelligence (AI) to see what you’ve taken off shelves and charge you as you walk out. Some start-ups are closely copying Amazon’s approach to using AI-powered cameras fixed in ceilings. But others are trying an entirely different way to skip the checkout: smart shopping carts. These companies have added cameras and sensors (传感器) to the carts, and are using AI to tell what you’ve placed in them. A built-in scale weighs items, in case you have to pay by the pound for an item. Customers pay by using a credit card, or through an online payment system. When customers exit the store, a green light on the shopping cart indicates that their orders are complete, and they’re charged.
The start-ups behind the smart shopping carts, including Caper and Veeve, say it’s much easier to add technology to the shopping cart than to an entire store. Amazon Go stores rely on hundreds of cameras in the ceiling. The shelves also include sensors to tell when an item is removed. Ahmed Beshry, cofounder of Caper, believes the technology to run Amazon Go is too expensive to use in a large grocery store. Neither Caper nor Veeve has said how much their smart shopping carts will cost, making it difficult to compare the different formats. Shariq Siddiqui, CEO of Veeve, said he’s finding increased interest from retailers given Amazon’s steady expansion of Amazon Go since the first Amazon Go store opened in Seattle in 2018. “We’re always happy when Amazon is doing something,” Siddiqui said. “They force retailers to get out of their old-school thinking.”
Each time a business uses artificial intelligence and cameras, it raises questions about customer privacy and the impact on jobs. Beshry notes that the cameras in his smart shopping cart point down into the cart, so only customers’ hands and part of their arms will be captured (拍摄) by cameras.
32.Which of the following best explains “eliminate” underlined in paragraph 1?
A.Shift. B.Break. C.Extend. D.Remove.
33.What do we know about the smart shopping carts?
A.They are linked to the cameras fixed in the ceilings.
B.They are able to recognize purchases placed in them.
C.They flash the green light when the order is cancelled.
D.They can tell customers where to find what they want.
34.What does Beshry think of the technology applied in Amazon Go stores?
A.It is far more expensive than their smart shopping carts.
B.It has attracted many more retailers than before.
C.It may increase the cost of running a large grocery store greatly.
D.It is likely to help retailers to think differently.
35.What is the best title for the text?
A.The New Technology Promotes Retail Sales
B.AI-powered Cameras Are Used in Retail Stores
C.Artificial Intelligence Affects the Future Job Market
D.Smart Shopping Carts Will Let You Skip the Line
【答案】32.D 33.B 34.C 35.D
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了为了消除顾客排队结账的烦恼,亚马逊及一些初创公司开发了智能购物车等新技术,通过人工智能和摄像头识别商品,实现自动结账。
32.词句猜测题。根据第一段“Tired of standing in line? Wait a bit longer, and you may never have to again. Everyone from Amazon to Silicon Valley start-ups is trying to eliminate lines in retail (零售) stores. (厌倦了排队?再等一会儿,你可能再也不需要排队了。从亚马逊到硅谷的初创公司,都在试图eliminate零售店的排队现象)”中“you may never have to again”可推知,一些公司旨在“消除”排队现象,所以要不了多久,你可能再也不需要排队了。故划线词eliminate意为“消除;去除”,与D项“Remove”同义。故选D项。
33.细节理解题。根据第二段中“These companies have added cameras and sensors (传感器) to the carts, and are using AI to tell what you’ve placed in them. (这些公司在购物车上增加了摄像头和传感器,并利用人工智能来识别你放入其中的物品)”可知,智能购物车能够识别放入其中的商品。故选B项。
34.细节理解题。根据第三段中“Ahmed Beshry, cofounder of Caper, believes the technology to run Amazon Go is too expensive to use in a large grocery store. (Caper的联合创始人艾哈迈德·贝什里认为,运行亚马逊Go商店的技术成本太高,无法在大型杂货店使用)”可知,贝什里认为亚马逊Go商店应用的技术成本太高,可能会大大增加大型杂货店的运营成本。故选C项。
35.主旨大意题。通读全文,结合第一段“Tired of standing in line? Wait a bit longer, and you may never have to again. (厌倦了排队?再等一会儿,你可能再也不需要排队了)”以及后文对智能购物车等技术的介绍可知,本文主要讲述了智能购物车将让顾客免于排队结账。故D项“Smart Shopping Carts Will Let You Skip the Line (智能购物车将让你免于排队)”能概括文章内容,最适合做文章标题。故选D项。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Multilingualism refers to the ability of an individual to use two or more languages competently in daily communication, work, study, or even thinking. Is being multilingual good for your brain? Probably. 36
Let’s start with the potential cognitive (认知的) benefits of multilingualism. Seas of papers have explored the cognitive advantages of multilingualism. Beyond opening conversational doors, it’s said to improve executive function — the ability to ignore distractions, plan tasks, and update beliefs. It’s also linked to a later onset of dementia (痴呆), on average. Here is the good news. 37 A 2019 study showed moderate language learning in adults doesn’t boost executive function but slows down age-related decline. Even if you start later, your brain can still harvest benefits.
The biggest benefits seem to come to those who master their second languages fully. Studies of interpreters and translators have provided some of the strongest evidence for a multilingual advantage. For example, they are faster at repeatedly jumping back and forth between simple addition and subtraction problems than monolinguals, suggesting generally better cognitive control. 38
But there are many massive variables in such studies. 39 Besides, studies have found striking evidence that in poorer parts of the world multilingual people show the strongest advantages from speaking several languages.
40 According to studies, multilingual kids seem to outperform in cognitive development in the early years. They suggest that the effects of languages on the brain are stronger for young children than they are for adults.
A.The effects vary.
B.Age also matters.
C.But widening your pool of social circle is a definite plus.
D.This frequent switching sharpens cognitive skills in unique ways.
E.It’s never too late to start learning a new language for brain benefits.
F.Some researchers argue that the observed advantages might be temporary and fade over time.
G.For example, children raised abroad may have cognitive advantages unrelated to multilingualism.
【答案】36.C 37.E 38.D 39.G 40.B
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨了多语言对大脑认知功能的影响,包括其潜在的认知益处、影响因素以及年龄因素的作用。
36.根据上文“Is being multilingual good for your brain? Probably.(那么,掌握多门语言对大脑有好处吗?或许会有)”及下文“Let’s start with the potential cognitive (认知的) benefits of multilingualism.( 首先,让我们来看看多语言能力对认知方面可能带来的好处)”可推知,此处需要一个承上启下的过渡句。前文提出多语言对大脑有益,后文开始讨论认知益处。C选项“But widening your pool of social circle is a definite plus.(但扩大社交圈绝对是一个好处)”既承接了前文的“probably”,又引出多语言的其他益处,符合语境。故选C。
37.根据上文“Here is the good news.(这是个好消息)”及下文“A 2019 study showed moderate language learning in adults doesn't boost executive function but slows down age-related decline. Even if you start later, your brain can still harvest benefits.(2019年的一项研究表明,成年人适度的语言学习不会提高执行功能,但会减缓与年龄相关的衰退)”可推知,此处应填入与成年人学习语言相关的内容。E选项“It’s never too late to start learning a new language for brain benefits.(为了大脑健康,开始学习一门新语言永远不会太晚。即使你晚一点开始,你的大脑仍然可以收获好处)”与下文“adults”和“Even if you start later”相呼应。故选E。
38.根据上文“For example, they are faster at repeatedly jumping back and forth between simple addition and subtraction problems than monolinguals, suggesting generally better cognitive control.(例如,他们在简单加减法问题之间反复切换的速度比单语者更快,这表明他们通常有更好的认知控制能力)”可推知,此处需要解释这种频繁切换的影响。D选项“This frequent switching sharpens cognitive skills in unique ways.(这种频繁的切换以独特的方式磨练认知技能)”中的“switching”与上文”jumping back and forth”相呼应。故选D。
39.根据上文“But there are many massive variables in such studies.(但这类研究中存在许多巨大的变量)”可推知,此处需要举例说明这些变量。G选项“For example, children raised abroad may have cognitive advantages unrelated to multilingualism.(例如,在国外长大的儿童可能拥有与多语言无关的认知优势)”中的“For example”直接呼应上文的“variables”,举例说明了混杂变量。故选G。
40.根据下文“According to studies, multilingual kids seem to outperform in cognitive development in the early years. They suggest that the effects of languages on the brain are stronger for young children than they are for adults.(根据研究,多语言儿童在早年认知发展方面似乎表现更好。他们认为语言对大脑的影响对幼儿比对成年人更强)”可推知,本段主要讨论年龄因素对多语言益处的影响。B选项“Age also matters.(年龄也很重要)”作为本段主题句,准确概括了段落内容。故选B。

My whole family flew in from New England. Seattle in the winter is not the best vacation experience, but they weren’t visiting me for vacation. They were in Seattle to attend my graduation from graduate school.
The ceremony was to be held on the Main Quad. It was a damp Seattle December afternoon, and I was getting ready. I chose a simple, black dress that would fit nicely under my graduation gown. I even put on a bit of makeup for the occasion.
Somehow I heard about the stairs that I’d have to walk up and down during my graduation. I thought that I couldn’t handle the pressure of steps. Walking across the stage was going to be scary enough.
I called my friend Sally in tears and told her that I was not going. The stairs were the last straw for me. She let me voice my fears. She and I had been through many hard times during the past two years of graduate school. We took all our classes together. We studied together. Sally was my notetaker because I wrote slowly due to cerebral palsy (脑瘫). Sometimes, my hands and legs spasmed (抽搐). There was no physical way that I could take notes, listen to the lectures, and participate in class.
Sally knew that I needed a good cry when I called her because I was exhausted. She knew that it wasn’t simply about the stairs. It was more about accessibility and feeling not seen. She knew what to do. “You are walking.” And she said she’d take care of everything.
My breathing slowed, and I could feel my body again. Sally made me promise that I would be at the Main Quad. I arrived there and finally found her. She rushed over and took me to get my gown. “You are going to walk across that stage to receive the diploma and sash (学位绶带). You know you will not be alone. I am always on your side,” she said firmly.
The ceremony began. When the host started calling graduates up. I watched my classmates walk up the stairs and over the stage.

【答案】As my name got closer, I couldn’t help but feel the spasms starting. My hands trembled slightly, and my legs seemed to lose their strength. Panic welled up inside me. But then, I felt Sally’s reassuring hand on my back. She whispered, “You can do this. I’m right here.” Her words gave me the courage to move forward. I took a deep breath and began to walk, one step at a time, focusing on the goal ahead. With Sally beside me, I managed to climb the stairs steadily.
Standing on the stage, I felt proud. The audience was looking at me, and I could see the smiles of encouragement. I thought about all the hard work and challenges I had overcome in the past two years. It was not just about getting a diploma; it was about my perseverance and the support from Sally. As I received the diploma and sash, I knew this moment was a victory. I looked down at Sally, and we shared a knowing smile. This was our moment of pride.

Culture Fair
Club members, staff, and culture enthusiasts are coming together to present, celebrate, and express themselves in the Culture Fair, an annual event that aims to bridge the gap between the undergraduate population and groups that support cultural identity and personal interests.
Unity and Cultural Pride
This major annual event is cosponsored by numerous campus and community organizations and hosted by UR juniors, bringing the community together. Everyone is proud of their culture and identity.
International Flavors and Rhythms
The Culture Fair highlights foods from around the world, such as empanadas, and features performances from South Asian dance group Rangoli, a well-known group for its colorful and energetic dance styles; street dance group Freeflow, which is popular for its dynamic and modern dance moves; and classical Chinese dance group Phoenix Fire, famous for its elegant and traditional choreography (编舞).

I’ve lived in a big city for more than a decade, but it’s only recently that I discovered just how loud it is here. The ring when someone presses the “stop” button on the city bus, loud music from stores, and songs of delivery motorbikes speed out of range.
In reality, I have relied on there being noise around me for the whole of my adult life. Without realizing it, noise became a kind of comfort to me, making me feel less alone.
Then in 2023, I went to a solo writing retreat (静修) and started writing again. It felt wonderful. I felt like I had done something creative for the first time. But when I got home, the noise started up again. I didn’t realize how much noise was hurting me until one day I stood in the shower without my phone playing something. In the silence, I suddenly realized that writing ideas flew to me.
The noise wasn’t just killing my creativity; it was breaking my productivity. Ideas came slower or not at all. None of us are strangers to the negative effects of sound. Studies have shown that noise pollution plays a role in common health issues along with surprising ones like low birth weight.
I’m not a scientist, but it seems clear that the more sound surrounds us, the less connected we become to one another. We lose our desire to truly communicate with our friends or partners, replacing our relationships with talk shows and never-ending social and news updates.
Realizing these, I no longer listen to news while doing housework. And when I’m about to turn something on that I know won’t help me, I head to a favourite coffee shop for a few hours to work instead. Sometimes, I simply sit in silence for a few minutes and let myself feel it and the impact it has had on my writing life. At times, it’s still difficult to choose silence over noise, but it’s worthwhile.
24.How did the author ever feel about the noise?
A.It brings her comfort. B.It’s impressive. C.It makes her excited. D.It’s controllable.
25.What can we know about the author in paragraph 3?
A.She completed a creative work. B.She wasn’t productive at work.
C.She received treatment during the retreat. D.She got ideas for writing in a peaceful environment.
26.What’s a disadvantage of noise?
A.Lowering the birth rate. B.Reducing social contact.
C.Changing thinking habits. D.Increasing work pressure.
27.What does the author do to look for silence?
A.Give up listening to music. B.Adapt to the workplace.
C.Set up a writing company. D.Stay away from useless sounds.
C
Culture clash means the tensions and conflicts caused by different working habits, communication styles, and ways of thinking inside a company. This often happens between employees of different generations, separate departments, or people from various cultural backgrounds. With the rapid growth of remote work and the wide use of AI technology, workplaces have become more complex. This leads to more frequent misunderstandings and frictions among colleagues.
There are three main factors that cause such conflicts. First, employees at different career stages often have different ideas about company development and management. For example, young workers may want quick changes, while senior staff may prefer stability. Disagreements about corporate culture often push many talented employees to leave their jobs. Second, cross-cultural differences can easily cause misunderstandings when companies do business internationally. What is polite in one culture may be rude in another. Third, company mergers often lead to clear culture clashes because the two companies usually have very different values and rules.
Although culture clash is hard to avoid in modern companies, effective methods can be used to reduce its bad influence. Respecting cultural differences and valuing the strengths of each group are very necessary. Clear and regular communication helps build trust and understanding. Providing professional cross-cultural training can also improve cooperation and cut down on unnecessary conflicts.
If managed correctly, culture clash will not hurt the organization. Instead, it can help create a more positive and active working environment, strengthen team spirit and cooperation, and further improve the company’s overall competitiveness in the global market.
28.What is the text mainly about?
A.Keys to managing cross-cultural conflicts

A.They are unwilling to accept different working styles.
B.They prefer working in companies with different rules.

D.They are dissatisfied with their salary and benefits.
30.What can be inferred from the last paragraph about culture clash?
A.It can be a driving force for company growth.
B.It has little impact on a company’s development.
C.It is the main cause of employee turnover.
D.It should be possibly avoided in global business.
31.What is the author’s attitude towards culture clash?
A.Doubtful. B.Hopeful. C.Worried. D.Uncaring.

Tired of standing in line? Wait a bit longer, and you may never have to again. Everyone from Amazon to Silicon Valley start-ups is trying to eliminate lines in retail (零售) stores.
Amazon has opened 24 of its Amazon Go stores, which use cameras and artificial intelligence (AI) to see what you’ve taken off shelves and charge you as you walk out. Some start-ups are closely copying Amazon’s approach to using AI-powered cameras fixed in ceilings. But others are trying an entirely different way to skip the checkout: smart shopping carts. These companies have added cameras and sensors (传感器) to the carts, and are using AI to tell what you’ve placed in them. A built-in scale weighs items, in case you have to pay by the pound for an item. Customers pay by using a credit card, or through an online payment system. When customers exit the store, a green light on the shopping cart indicates that their orders are complete, and they’re charged.
The start-ups behind the smart shopping carts, including Caper and Veeve, say it’s much easier to add technology to the shopping cart than to an entire store. Amazon Go stores rely on hundreds of cameras in the ceiling. The shelves also include sensors to tell when an item is removed. Ahmed Beshry, cofounder of Caper, believes the technology to run Amazon Go is too expensive to use in a large grocery store. Neither Caper nor Veeve has said how much their smart shopping carts will cost, making it difficult to compare the different formats. Shariq Siddiqui, CEO of Veeve, said he’s finding increased interest from retailers given Amazon’s steady expansion of Amazon Go since the first Amazon Go store opened in Seattle in 2018. “We’re always happy when Amazon is doing something,” Siddiqui said. “They force retailers to get out of their old-school thinking.”
Each time a business uses artificial intelligence and cameras, it raises questions about customer privacy and the impact on jobs. Beshry notes that the cameras in his smart shopping cart point down into the cart, so only customers’ hands and part of their arms will be captured (拍摄) by cameras.
32.Which of the following best explains “eliminate” underlined in paragraph 1?
A.Shift. B.Break. C.Extend. D.Remove.
33.What do we know about the smart shopping carts?
A.They are linked to the cameras fixed in the ceilings.
B.They are able to recognize purchases placed in them.
C.They flash the green light when the order is cancelled.
D.They can tell customers where to find what they want.
34.What does Beshry think of the technology applied in Amazon Go stores?
A.It is far more expensive than their smart shopping carts.
B.It has attracted many more retailers than before.
C.It may increase the cost of running a large grocery store greatly.
D.It is likely to help retailers to think differently.
35.What is the best title for the text?
A.The New Technology Promotes Retail Sales
B.AI-powered Cameras Are Used in Retail Stores
C.Artificial Intelligence Affects the Future Job Market
D.Smart Shopping Carts Will Let You Skip the Line
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Multilingualism refers to the ability of an individual to use two or more languages competently in daily communication, work, study, or even thinking. Is being multilingual good for your brain? Probably. 36
Let’s start with the potential cognitive (认知的) benefits of multilingualism. Seas of papers have explored the cognitive advantages of multilingualism. Beyond opening conversational doors, it’s said to improve executive function — the ability to ignore distractions, plan tasks, and update beliefs. It’s also linked to a later onset of dementia (痴呆), on average. Here is the good news. 37 A 2019 study showed moderate language learning in adults doesn’t boost executive function but slows down age-related decline. Even if you start later, your brain can still harvest benefits.
The biggest benefits seem to come to those who master their second languages fully. Studies of interpreters and translators have provided some of the strongest evidence for a multilingual advantage. For example, they are faster at repeatedly jumping back and forth between simple addition and subtraction problems than monolinguals, suggesting generally better cognitive control. 38
But there are many massive variables in such studies. 39 Besides, studies have found striking evidence that in poorer parts of the world multilingual people show the strongest advantages from speaking several languages.
40 According to studies, multilingual kids seem to outperform in cognitive development in the early years. They suggest that the effects of languages on the brain are stronger for young children than they are for adults.
A.The effects vary.
B.Age also matters.
C.But widening your pool of social circle is a definite plus.
D.This frequent switching sharpens cognitive skills in unique ways.
E.It’s never too late to start learning a new language for brain benefits.
F.Some researchers argue that the observed advantages might be temporary and fade over time.
G.For example, children raised abroad may have cognitive advantages unrelated to multilingualism.

Bonnie Blumberg has always known her mother was creative and kind.

Blumberg contacted the organization, and was linked up with a(n) 49 finisher, Anna Minmier, to take over Goldstein’s work. Minmier spent months finishing the sweaters, happy to have a 50 in what she also saw as a beautiful story that connects 51 . Holding sweaters tightly, Blumberg said 52 , “But for Anna, I would have spent a fortune to get this done. It’s really a 53 project.”
“It’s also an opportunity for me to work with patterns I never would have picked for myself, stretching my skill set and keeping my mind as 54 as my needles. It’s not just being nice,” Minmier says, “it’s making sure people have these 55 objects that you can hug when you’re missing a person. That’s a big deal.”

My whole family flew in from New England. Seattle in the winter is not the best vacation experience, but they weren’t visiting me for vacation. They were in Seattle to attend my graduation from graduate school.
The ceremony was to be held on the Main Quad. It was a damp Seattle December afternoon, and I was getting ready. I chose a simple, black dress that would fit nicely under my graduation gown. I even put on a bit of makeup for the occasion.
Somehow I heard about the stairs that I’d have to walk up and down during my graduation. I thought that I couldn’t handle the pressure of steps. Walking across the stage was going to be scary enough.
I called my friend Sally in tears and told her that I was not going. The stairs were the last straw for me. She let me voice my fears. She and I had been through many hard times during the past two years of graduate school. We took all our classes together. We studied together. Sally was my notetaker because I wrote slowly due to cerebral palsy (脑瘫). Sometimes, my hands and legs spasmed (抽搐). There was no physical way that I could take notes, listen to the lectures, and participate in class.
Sally knew that I needed a good cry when I called her because I was exhausted. She knew that it wasn’t simply about the stairs. It was more about accessibility and feeling not seen. She knew what to do. “You are walking.” And she said she’d take care of everything.
My breathing slowed, and I could feel my body again. Sally made me promise that I would be at the Main Quad. I arrived there and finally found her. She rushed over and took me to get my gown. “You are going to walk across that stage to receive the diploma and sash (学位绶带). You know you will not be alone. I am always on your side,” she said firmly.
The ceremony began. When the host started calling graduates up. I watched my classmates walk up the stairs and over the stage.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
As my name got closer, I couldn’t help but feel the spasms starting.

Standing on the stage, I felt proud.
