Throughout the past year, we followed some interesting new inventions in the field of artificial intelligence (AI). 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 (编码) 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 Al 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 algorithm (算法) 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 DeepMind-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.
1. 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.
2. Who will most probably be interested in Ithaca?
A. A farmer. B. A doctor. C. A zoologist. D. A historian.
3. What do the inventions have in common?
A. They are AI-driven technology tools. B. They are developed by Facebook.
C. They aim to promote productivity. D. They focus on health issues.

You might think of it as a scene from martial arts movies when you see people performing graceful moves down the river, all standing on a bamboo strip, but actually it is a form of intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产): bamboo drifting.
Over 2,000 years ago, the high-quality wood, nanmu, in Guizhou was in great demand by the royal court more than 2,000 kilometers to the north. With no better transportation, people had to stand on one log to drift down the river. Later, local people began to compete along the way and the game of wood drifting was born. In the Qing Dynasty, wood drifting became bamboo drifting because of bamboo’s lower price. Due to the great strength and balance it takes for one to master this act, bamboo drifting was included in the national intangible cultural heritage list in 2021.
Yang Liu, a 25-year-old inheritor of bamboo drifting, learned it at seven. “Usually, the bamboo under your feet is about 9 meters long, and the bamboo in your hands is about 5 meters. If the length or diameter of the bamboo is not long enough, it will not be buoyant (有浮力的) enough to float. Keeping our feet firmly positioned on the narrow bamboo pole is the key, so we should fight against the current by constantly changing the angle. I lost my balance and fell in the water many times while practicing. Once I fell, I gave it another try until I knew how to handle the most difficult part,” she said.
The love for the ancient skill keeps Yang going. In the past 18 years, she has drifted all year round, in cold winter and hot summer. As hanfu culture has been on the rise, Yang started wearing hanfu while performing, creating a more beautiful scene. In 2020, Yang began to post her videos on social media. “I’m extremely proud to get responses from viewers that bamboo drifting makes the line between what is possible and impossible unclear. It’s my mission to keep it alive and known to more people,” Yang Liu says.
8. What can be learned from the first two paragraphs?
A. Bamboo drifting involves lots of skills.
B. Nanmu was delivered to the north by land.
C. Bamboo was costly in Guizhou 2,000 years ago.
D. The martial arts movie is a form of cultural heritage.
9. What is the biggest challenge in bamboo drifting?
A. Keeping balance. B. Maintaining a fixed angle.
C. Finding the proper bamboo. D. Holding the bamboo firmly in hands.
10. What do the viewers think of bamboo drifting?
A. Impossible. B. Confusing. C. Unbelievable. D. Complicated.
11. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A. Balancing with Grace B. Yang Liu: a Creative Performer
C. Transporting Bamboo down the River D. Intangible Cultural Heritage in Guizhou
【答案】8. A 9. A 10. C 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。介绍了国家级非物质文化遗产项目独竹漂。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“You might think of it as a scene from martial arts movies when you see people performing graceful moves down the river, all standing on a bamboo strip, but actually it is a form of intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产): bamboo drifting. (当你看到人们站在竹竿上顺流而下时,你可能会认为这是武侠片里的场景,但实际上这是一种非物质文化遗产:独竹漂。)”以及第二段末句“Due to the great strength and balance it takes for one to master this act, bamboo drifting was included in the national intangible cultural heritage list in 2021. (由于掌握这一动作需要巨大的力量和平衡,独竹漂于2021年被列入国家非物质文化遗产名录。)”可知,独竹漂需要很多技能。故选A。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段最后三句““Keeping our feet firmly positioned on the narrow bamboo pole is the key, so we should fight against the current by constantly changing the angle. I lost my balance and fell in the water many times while practicing. Once I fell, I gave it another try until I knew how to handle the most difficult part,” she said. (“让我们的脚牢牢地站在狭窄的竹竿上是关键,所以我们应该通过不断改变角度来对抗水流。在练习的过程中,我多次失去平衡掉进水里。一旦我摔倒了,我就再试一次,直到我知道如何处理最困难的部分。”她说。)”可知,在狭窄的竹竿上站稳是关键,杨柳在练习独竹漂时会因失去平衡而摔倒。由此可推知,独竹漂最大的挑战是保持平衡。故选A。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段最后两句““I’m extremely proud to get responses from viewers that bamboo drifting makes the line between what is possible and impossible unclear. It’s my mission to keep it alive and known to more people,” Yang Liu says. (“我非常自豪地收到观众的回应,他们认为竹子的漂流让可能与不可能之间的界限变得模糊。我的使命是让它活下去,让更多人知道它。”杨柳说。)”可知,从观众那里得到的反响是独竹漂让“可能”和“不可能”之间的界限变得模糊,由此可推知,观众认为独竹漂是不可思议的。故选C。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是根据第一段“You might think of it as a scene from martial arts movies when you see people performing graceful moves down the river, all standing on a bamboo strip, but actually it is a form of intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产): bamboo drifting.

At dusk and dawn, the sky dances with three phases of in-between light. When the sun has just set in the west, the sky changes from the vibrant blue of afternoon to a more relaxed tone, as if it’s settling down for the evening. Soon the east will darken even as the west goes through an abundance of reds, oranges and yellows. And then, at last, the black of night will reign once again. Astronomers are so familiar with twilight (黄昏) that we’ve classified its various stages.
The first that occurs after sunset is called civil twilight, so named because when the sun is just below the horizon, the sky is still bright enough for people to conduct typical “daytime” outdoor activities. This is also when you’re likely to see the most colors in the sky toward the west. Those same molecules (微粒) that distribute sunlight don’t do so randomly; the angle of distributing depends on the color of the light. All the blue light from the sun is sent away in all directions, leaving only the redder colors to shine through, thus creating those breathtaking sunsets.
The next phase is nautical twilight, when the sun is between 6 and 12 degrees below the horizon. The sky maybe a deep purple, and stars begin to appear. The term “nautical twilight” came about because sailors used the stars to get their bearings, and it’s at this time of the early evening that celestial navigation (天文导航) becomes possible.
After that comes astronomical twilight. This is when the sun is 12 to 18 degrees below the horizon and the sky finally appears black, with the stars truly shining. We call it astronomical twilight because it may look dark to your eye, but through a telescope, the sky is still bright enough to intervene in some observations.
This last phase of twilight concludes once the sun drops below 18 degrees; the sky becomes fully dark, and it is time for astronomers to enjoy the beginning of their work night.
12. What does the underlined word “reign” in paragraph 1 mean?
A. Fade away. B. Draw near. C. End up. D. Take over.
13. What causes breathtaking sunsets during the civil twilight?
A. The standout of red colors. B. The absence of artificial light.
C. The reflection of colorful tones. D. The distribution of all colors of light.
14. What can we learn about the three phases of twilight?
A. Each twilight is characterized by the sun’s position.
B. Each twilight allows for various scientific researches.
C. Nautical twilight is too bright to use celestial navigation.
D. Astronomical twilight is ideal for telescope observations.
15. What will the author introduce next?
A. The impacts of twilight. B. The interpretations of twilight.
C. The process of observing stars. D. The working conditions of astronomers.
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. A 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了黄昏的不同阶段及其特点,包括民用暮光、航海暮光和天文暮光,解释了各个阶段天空颜色变化的原因以及它们在天文学中的应用。
【12题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第一段中“At dusk and dawn, the sky dances with three phases of in-between light. When the sun has just set in the west, the sky changes from the vibrant blue of afternoon to a more relaxed tone, as if it’s settling down for the evening. Soon the east will darken even as the west goes through an abundance of reds, oranges and yellows. And then, at last, the black of night will reign once again(在黄昏和黎明,天空在三个阶段的中间光中跳舞。当太阳刚刚在西方落下时,天空从下午的充满活力的蓝色变成了一种更轻松的色调,好像它正在为晚上的到来而安定下来。很快东方就会变暗,即使西方经历了丰富的红色、橙色和黄色。然后,最后,黑夜将再次reign一切)”可知,黄昏和黎明分为三个阶段,上文提到了前两个阶段,可推理出此处说的是最后一个阶段黑夜将再次占据天空,可推理出“reign”意为“占据,接管”。故选D项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“All the blue light from the sun is sent away in all directions, leaving only the redder colors to shine through, thus creating those breathtaking sunsets(太阳的所有蓝光被向四面八方送走,只留下红色系的光芒穿透过来,从而创造出那些令人惊叹的日落景色)”可知,民用暮光期间令人惊叹的日落是由于只有红色光能够穿透并闪耀,即红色光的突出表现。故选A项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The first that occurs after sunset is called civil twilight, so named because when the sun is just below the horizon, the sky is still bright enough for people to conduct typical “daytime” outdoor activities(日落后发生的第一阶段被称为民用暮光,之所以这样命名,是因为当太阳刚刚低于地平线时,天空仍然足够明亮,人们可以从事典型的“白天”户外活动)”可知民用暮光发生在太阳刚落到地平线以下时;根据第三段“The next phase is nautical twilight, when the sun is between 6 and 12 degrees below the horizon(下一阶段是航海暮光,此时太阳在地平线以下6到12度之间)”可知航海暮光发生在太阳在地平线以下6到12度时;根据第四段“After that comes astronomical twilight. This is when the sun is 12 to 18 degrees below the horizon and the sky finally appears black, with the stars truly shining(之后是天文暮光。此时太阳在地平线以下12到18度,天空终于看起来是黑色的,星星真正地闪烁着)”可知,天文暮光发生在太阳在地平线以下12到18度时。由此可知,每个暮光阶段的特点是由太阳的位置决定的。故选A项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“This last phase of twilight concludes once the sun drops below 18 degrees; the sky becomes fully dark, and it is time for astronomers to enjoy the beginning of their work night(一旦太阳降到18度以下,这个最后的黄昏阶段就结束了;天空完全变黑,天文学家们可以享受他们工作之夜的开始了)”可知,文章最后介绍了天文暮光结束后天空完全变黑,天文学家开始他们的工作夜晚。由此可推测,接下来作者可能会介绍天文学家在这种黑暗环境下观测星空的过程。故选C项。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了美国“国家教师感恩日”的设立背景与意义。文章阐述了该节日旨在向教师群体致谢,强调了教师在塑造学生未来和促进社会发展中所发挥的持久而关键的作用。
【36题详解】
考查冠词。句意:美国的“全国教师感恩日”定在每年五月第一个完整周的周二,以此提醒人们向各地的教师表达敬意。“reminder”为单数可数名词,且在此处为首次泛指提及,意为“一个提醒”,reminder发音以辅音音素开头,所以用不定冠词a。故填a。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:我们利用这个全国性的节日来向所有教师表示感谢,感谢他们为教育我们的孩子所付出的时间和努力。efforts to do sth.表示“做某事的努力”。 故填to educate。
【38题详解】
考查被动语态。句意:“全国教师感恩日”也被称为“全国教师日”。“be known as”意为“被称为……”,为常用被动结构,且主语为单数,陈述客观事实,用一般现在时。故填is known。
【39题详解】
考查名词。句意:全国教育协会将“全国教师日”定义为“一个向教师致敬、认可他们对我们生活所做出的持久贡献的日子”。形容词“lasting”(持久的)修饰名词,且后文“they make to our lives”表明贡献是多样、持续的,应使用复数形式。故填contributions。
【40题详解】
考查介词。句意:教师在教育和塑造我们的孩子成为国家未来的领导者方面发挥着关键作用。play a role in为固定搭配,意为“在……中起作用”。故填in。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:教师给予鼓励、传授知识并进行引导,对每个孩子的生命都留下了深远的影响。根据句子结构可知,leave与主语teacher之间为主动关系,此处应为现在分词短语作伴随状语。故填leaving。
【42题详解】
考查动词。句意:在教室之外,教育工作者的影响延伸到我们的社会中。句中缺谓语动词,且陈述客观事实,用一般现在时。主语educators’ influence为单数,所以用第三人称单数形式。故填extends。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:教师所奠定的基础塑造了一代人的未来,并为更广泛的社区的进步和繁荣做出了贡献。lay与主语foundation之间应是被动关系,作后置定语,所以用过去分词形式。故填laid。
【44题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:每一位新企业主、医生、工程师或护士都能说出一位激励过他们的老师的名字。空处引导限制性定语从句,从句缺主语,且先行词为人,所以用关系代词who或that引导。故填who/that。
【45题详解】
考查固定搭配。句意:我们每个人心中都至少有一位老师,是他们在我们的求学过程中给予了鼓励和激励。“at least”为固定短语,意为“至少”。故填least。

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
“Do you forget to bring your homework to school?” my sixth⁃grade math teacher asked. I nodded my head and said in a low voice, “Yes, sir.” What a mistake I had made! I had completed my math homework. But before I left home and headed for school, I forgot to put it into my schoolbag.
“You will get a zero then,” my math teacher said. I was shocked. I had never received a zero in a math class before. But the school had rules, and the teacher had to let everyone follow them. I was immediately worried about my final math average, which was based on my homework and the tests. Would I get a C or even a D at the end of the term? If so, what should I do?
My next class was a PE class. As I walked down the hall with my classmates, all those feelings rushed out in hot tears. I wiped them away as quickly as I could. But when we entered the gym and sat down in our spots on the floor, it was clear to everyone around me that I had been crying.
My PE teacher, Ms. Brown, was an athletic teacher, often with a smile on her face. Her class was a good mix of calisthenics (健美操) and games that can give us all a good workout. And Ms. Brown was nice and compassionate (有同情心的). She loved her students and often came to help if the students were in trouble.
During that PE class, my mind was affected by the math homework and I was worried about my final math average. So I failed to devote my attention to Ms. Brown’s direction. And clearly, I was sad. I guessed that Ms. Brown found there was something wrong with me. When it was near the end of the PE class, she walked to me.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
Paragraph 1:
She sat down to comfort me.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
I felt relaxed and decided to work harder at math.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1:
She sat down to comfort me. “Are you OK?” she asked. I told her about my trouble. Then Ms. Brown said to me, “We all make mistakes.” She told me what happened to her several days ago. I was surprised that she also made mistakes since I had thought she was perfect. She told me the world wouldn’t end for a zero in a math class and encouraged me to study hard.
Paragraph 2:
I felt relaxed and decided to work harder at math. In math classes, I paid more attention to the teacher’s speeches. After school, I would do the math homework more carefully. And I left notes to remind me not to forget to bring my homework to school again. At the end of that term, based on my good daily performances and test scores, my final math average was an A. This experience taught me a lesson: as long as we learn from mistakes, we’re making progress.

Throughout the past year, we followed some interesting new inventions in the field of artificial intelligence (AI). 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 (编码) 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 Al 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 algorithm (算法) 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 DeepMind-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.
1. 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.
2. Who will most probably be interested in Ithaca?
A. A farmer. B. A doctor. C. A zoologist. D. A historian.
3. What do the inventions have in common?
A. They are AI-driven technology tools. B. They are developed by Facebook.
C. They aim to promote productivity. D. They focus on health issues.

You might think of it as a scene from martial arts movies when you see people performing graceful moves down the river, all standing on a bamboo strip, but actually it is a form of intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产): bamboo drifting.
Over 2,000 years ago, the high-quality wood, nanmu, in Guizhou was in great demand by the royal court more than 2,000 kilometers to the north. With no better transportation, people had to stand on one log to drift down the river. Later, local people began to compete along the way and the game of wood drifting was born. In the Qing Dynasty, wood drifting became bamboo drifting because of bamboo’s lower price. Due to the great strength and balance it takes for one to master this act, bamboo drifting was included in the national intangible cultural heritage list in 2021.
Yang Liu, a 25-year-old inheritor of bamboo drifting, learned it at seven. “Usually, the bamboo under your feet is about 9 meters long, and the bamboo in your hands is about 5 meters. If the length or diameter of the bamboo is not long enough, it will not be buoyant (有浮力的) enough to float. Keeping our feet firmly positioned on the narrow bamboo pole is the key, so we should fight against the current by constantly changing the angle. I lost my balance and fell in the water many times while practicing. Once I fell, I gave it another try until I knew how to handle the most difficult part,” she said.
The love for the ancient skill keeps Yang going. In the past 18 years, she has drifted all year round, in cold winter and hot summer.

At dusk and dawn, the sky dances with three phases of in-between light. When the sun has just set in the west, the sky changes from the vibrant blue of afternoon to a more relaxed tone, as if it’s settling down for the evening. Soon the east will darken even as the west goes through an abundance of reds, oranges and yellows. And then, at last, the black of night will reign once again. Astronomers are so familiar with twilight (黄昏) that we’ve classified its various stages.
The first that occurs after sunset is called civil twilight, so named because when the sun is just below the horizon, the sky is still bright enough for people to conduct typical “daytime” outdoor activities. This is also when you’re likely to see the most colors in the sky toward the west. Those same molecules (微粒) that distribute sunlight don’t do so randomly; the angle of distributing depends on the color of the light. All the blue light from the sun is sent away in all directions, leaving only the redder colors to shine through, thus creating those breathtaking sunsets.
The next phase is nautical twilight, when the sun is between 6 and 12 degrees below the horizon. The sky maybe a deep purple, and stars begin to appear. The term “nautical twilight” came about because sailors used the stars to get their bearings, and it’s at this time of the early evening that celestial navigation (天文导航) becomes possible.
After that comes astronomical twilight. This is when the sun is 12 to 18 degrees below the horizon and the sky finally appears black, with the stars truly shining. We call it astronomical twilight because it may look dark to your eye, but through a telescope, the sky is still bright enough to intervene in some observations.
This last phase of twilight concludes once the sun drops below 18 degrees; the sky becomes fully dark, and it is time for astronomers to enjoy the beginning of their work night.
12. What does the underlined word “reign” in paragraph 1 mean?
A. Fade away. B. Draw near. C. End up. D. Take over.
13. What causes breathtaking sunsets during the civil twilight?
A. The standout of red colors. B. The absence of artificial light.
C. The reflection of colorful tones. D. The distribution of all colors of light.
14. What can we learn about the three phases of twilight?
A. Each twilight is characterized by the sun’s position.
B. Each twilight allows for various scientific researches.
C. Nautical twilight is too bright to use celestial navigation.
D. Astronomical twilight is ideal for telescope observations.
15. What will the author introduce next?
A. The impacts of twilight. B. The interpretations of twilight.
C. The process of observing stars. D. The working conditions of astronomers.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
“Do you forget to bring your homework to school?” my sixth⁃grade math teacher asked. I nodded my head and said in a low voice, “Yes, sir.” What a mistake I had made! I had completed my math homework. But before I left home and headed for school, I forgot to put it into my schoolbag.
“You will get a zero then,” my math teacher said. I was shocked. I had never received a zero in a math class before. But the school had rules, and the teacher had to let everyone follow them. I was immediately worried about my final math average, which was based on my homework and the tests. Would I get a C or even a D at the end of the term? If so, what should I do?
My next class was a PE class. As I walked down the hall with my classmates, all those feelings rushed out in hot tears. I wiped them away as quickly as I could. But when we entered the gym and sat down in our spots on the floor, it was clear to everyone around me that I had been crying.
My PE teacher, Ms. Brown, was an athletic teacher, often with a smile on her face. Her class was a good mix of calisthenics (健美操) and games that can give us all a good workout. And Ms. Brown was nice and compassionate (有同情心的). She loved her students and often came to help if the students were in trouble.
During that PE class, my mind was affected by the math homework and I was worried about my final math average. So I failed to devote my attention to Ms. Brown’s direction. And clearly, I was sad. I guessed that Ms. Brown found there was something wrong with me. When it was near the end of the PE class, she walked to me.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
Paragraph 1:
She sat down to comfort me.

I felt relaxed and decided to work harder at math.
