UNESCO Says the site "offers a look into one of the most influential empires of the ancient world".
Writing-on-stone(Canada)

The markings were left by Blackfoot Native Americans, who lived in parts of Western Canada and the far northern United States. The land that makes up Writing-on-Stone is filled with rock posts that have been formed into "spectacular shapes" by erosion (侵蚀).
Party and Ilha Grande(Brazil)
The historic coastal town of Party and the island Ilha Grande are already popular places for visitors to Brazils Rio de Janeiro state.

Have you ever shouted at your computer because it wasn’t working? Your computer couldn’t “yell” back – until now. AI researchers are now working on computers that can argue and perhaps even win debates with humans.
IBM scientists published a paper in Nature on March 17 about their new AI system – Project Debater. After listening to arguments from its opponent (对手), the system can search around 400 million online articles in less than five minutes. It looks for ideas that can support its own argument.
Testing on the system began in 2019 when it debated with Harish Natarajan, a professional debater who holds the world record for most debate competition victories. The debate topic was whether or not preschool should be funded, and the AI system argued in favor of this idea. Although the AI lost the debate in the end based on the audience vote, the audience said it did very well. Interestingly, 58 percent of the audience said that Project Debater increased their knowledge about the topic, while only 20 percent said the same about Natarajan. Also, Project Debater has shown strength at making impressive and logical opening statements in the debate, according to Scientific American.
Humans and technology have been battling for decades. In 1997, IBM’s Deep Blue became the first computer to defeat a reigning (卫冕的) chess champion, Garry Kasparov in a six-game match. So after two decades, have IBM’s researchers just reproduced a “Deep Blue” to debate? It’s much more than that, the researchers noted. Argument and debate are fundamental abilities of human intelligence, and it’s a step outside of AI’s comfort zone to enter this field, according to the article in Nature.
4. What is the purpose of Paragraph 1?
A. Make a comparison. B. Introduce the topic.
C. Ask a question about computer. D. Give background information.
5. How can Project Debater debate with humans?
A. By learning from humans.
B. By making use of its internal data.
C. By listening to researchers’ instructions.
D. By collecting a lot of data in a short time.
6. What did the majority of the audience think about the performance of Project Debater in the testing?
A. Its opening statements were boring.
B. Its statements were not logical enough.
C. Its overall performance was better than Natarajan’s.
D. It made them more aware of the topic.
7. What can be learn from the last paragraph?
A. Humans have an advantage over AI in debating.
B. Project Debater is considered an updated version of Deep Blue.
C. AI has a long way to go before it can win against humans.
D. AI technology hasn’t progressed much in the last decades.
【答案】4. B 5. D 6. D 7. A
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章介绍了IBM科学家研发的新人工智能系统——辩论家计划,这个人工智能在听取对手的辩论后,可以在不到5分钟的时间内搜索约4亿篇在线文章,寻找能够支持自己论点的观点跟对方辩论,但是进入辩论这一领域,是人工智能向舒适区之外的一步,人类比人工智能更有优势。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Have you ever shouted at your computer because it wasn’t working? Your computer couldn’t ‘yell’ back – until now. AI researchers are now working on computers that can argue and perhaps even win debates with humans.(你是否曾经因为电脑坏了而对着它大喊大叫?直到现在,你的电脑还不能‘喊’回你。人工智能研究人员目前正在研究能够与人类辩论,甚至可能赢得辩论的计算机)”可知,第一段通过设问引出主题:能和人辩论的人工智能系统。故选B项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“After listening to arguments from its opponent (对手), the system can search around 400 million online articles in less than five minutes. It looks for ideas that can support its own argument.(在听取对手的辩论后,该系统可以在不到5分钟的时间内搜索约4亿篇在线文章。它寻找能够支持自己论点的观点)”可知,‘辩论者计划’这个人工智能系统会在短时间内收集大量的在线数据。故选D项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段第三、四句“Although the AI lost the debate in the end based on the audience vote, the audience said it did very well. Interestingly, 58 percent of the audience said that Project Debater increased their knowledge about the topic, while only 20 percent said the same about Natarajan.(虽然根据观众的投票结果,人工智能最终输掉了辩论,但观众表示,人工智能做得很好。有趣的是,58%的观众说‘辩论者计划’增加了他们对这个话题的认识,而只有20%的人对Natarajan有同样的看法)”可知,人工智能在辩论中所呈现的内容让听众更了解了辩论话题。故选D项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。最后一段“In 1997, IBM’s Deep Blue became the first computer to defeat a reigning (卫冕的) chess champion, Garry Kasparov in a six-game match. So after two decades, have IBM’s researchers just reproduced a ‘Deep Blue’ to debate? It’s much more than that, the researchers noted. Argument and debate are fundamental abilities of human intelligence, and it’s a step outside of AI’s comfort zone to enter this field, according to the article in Nature.(1997年,IBM的深蓝成为第一个计算机打败卫冕象棋冠军卡斯帕罗夫在六场比赛。那么,20年过去了,IBM的研究人员是否只是复制了一款‘深蓝’来引起争论呢? 研究人员指出,事实远不止如此。《自然》杂志上的这篇文章称,争论和辩论是人类智能的基本能力,进入辩论这一领域,是人工智能向舒适区之外的一步)”可知,在辩论这一领域,人类比人工智能更有优势。故选A项。
C
People smile at times. However, the meaning of a smile in different cultures may be different. Depending on different cultures, smiling can express joy and amusement, but it can also show embarrassment(尴尬).
People in the United States smile a lot. Every one smiles at each other in order to show they are open and friendly. However, in China, smiling is not only an expression of happiness, but also a way to avoid being embarrassed. Chinese people like smiling when they are embarrassed in order to avoid embarrassment. Smiling is a kind of good will but not sneer(嘲笑). For example: When a child falls down from a bike, the adults in China may smile, which is a kind of gentle encouragement and not a kind of impolite laugh.
When a person from the United States might blush(脸红)with embarrassment or become offensive(冒犯的), a Chinese might blush with smile. To avoid serious misunderstanding, people who engage in intercultural (跨文化的) communication should be able to understand the meaning of smiling properly.
8. We can use smile to express all of the following feelings except _________,
A. joy and happiness B. amusement
C. embarrassment D. fear
9. People often smile at each other in the United States because _________.

【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“Depending on different cultures, smiling can express joy and amusement, but it can also show embarrassment(尴尬).(根据不同的文化,微笑可以表达喜悦和愉快,但也可能表示尴尬。)”可知,我们可以用微笑来表达选项中所有的感觉,除了恐惧。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据文中第二段的“People in the United States smile a lot. Every one smiles at each other in order to show they are open and friendly.( 美国人经常微笑。他们彼此相视微笑,以表达自己开放和友善的态度。)”可知,美国人想要表达友好,所以才微笑。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段最后两句“For example: When a child falls down from a bike, the adults in China may smile, which is a kind of gentle encouragement and not a kind of impolite laugh.(例如:当一个孩子从自行车上摔下来时,中国的大人可能会微笑,这是一种温和的鼓励,而不是不礼貌的笑声。)”可知,在中国,看到孩子从自行车上摔下来,成年人会微笑为了避免尴尬,又鼓励了孩子。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“People smile at times. However, the meaning of a smile in different cultures may be different.

People who like travelling have their reasons. They believe that travelling can help them expand their field of view, especially in the geographical and historical sense. They also think that touring will give them more chances to enjoy different kinds of food and experience new things that would never be brought by other activities. But those who dislike travelling also have some reasons.
Travelling, in my opinion, does more good than harm. Most importantly, it broadens our mind. We can get in touch with other civilizations, cultures, customs and ideas.
Through history, most people travelled because of necessity — not for pleasure. People travelled just in order to remain alive. They searched for food to eat or places to live in. They sometimes ran away from enemies. This is not to say that no one ever travelled just for the fun of it. In ancient times, for example, rich Romans travelled all the way to Greece to take part in the Olympic Games, and festivals. Of course, some people decided to travel just out of curiosity. They wanted to find out what it looked like beyond the horizon. Also business travel has been going on for centuries. Traders could not only make money but also learn to speak several languages and be introduced to different cultures.
So, travelling does enrich our mind and draw new ideas to us. There is no doubt that we can get much from it.
12. The underlined word “expand” in Paragraph 1 can be replaced by .
A. widen B. protect C. lose D. decide
13. According to the passage, in the past most people travelled .
A. for fun B. for knowledge
C. to get experience D. to make a living
14. In the writer’s opinion, travelling can be .
A. expensive B. funny C. helpful D. tiring
15. What’s the main idea of this passage?
A. Different kinds of travelling. B. Travelling enriches our mind.
C. Ways to enjoy yourself while travelling. D. The advantages and disadvantages of travelling.
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. C 15. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章列举了古代和现代人们旅行的目的和旅行的好处,说明旅行能丰富我们的头脑。
【12题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“They also think that touring will give them more chances to enjoy different kinds of food and experience new things that would never be brought by other activities. (他们还认为旅游会给他们更多的机会享受不同种类的食物和体验新的东西,这是其他活动永远不会带来的。)”以及第二段“Most importantly, it broadens our mind. We can get in touch with other civilizations, cultures, customs and ideas. (最为重要的是,它能开阔我们的视野。我们能够接触到其他的各种文明、文化、习俗和思想。)”可知,旅行可以扩宽视野,接触到新事物,故划线词意思是“扩宽”。故选A。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“People travelled just in order to remain alive. (人们旅行只是为了活下去。)”可知,过去大多数人旅行是为了谋生。故选D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Travelling, in my opinion, does more good than harm. Most importantly, it broadens our mind. We can get in touch with other civilizations, cultures, customs and ideas. (在我看来,旅行带来的好处远远多于坏处。最重要的是,它能开阔我们的视野。我们能够接触到其他的各种文明、文化、习俗和思想。)”和最后一段“So, travelling does enrich our mind and draw new ideas to us. There is no doubt that we can get much from it. (所以,旅行确实能丰富我们的思想,为我们带来新的想法。毫无疑问,我们能从旅行中收获很多。)”可知,作者认为旅行是有帮助的。故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“So, travelling does enrich our mind and draw new ideas to us. There is no doubt that we can get much from it. (所以,旅行确实能丰富我们的思想,为我们带来新的想法。毫无疑问,我们能从旅行中收获很多。)”结合文章主要说明了人们喜欢旅行的原因以及旅行的好处。可知,这篇文章的主旨是旅行丰富我们的思想。故选B。

Once there was a little girl named Emily. Although her singing was very pleasant to hear, lacking courage, she never dared to sing in front of strangers.
One summer, the neighborhood where she lived would hold a singing competition. Her best friend, Lucy, came to invite her to participate in the competition, but Emily said, “I am afraid to take part in it.” Her mother said, “It’s okay. Just do it bravely.” Emily followed her mom’s advice and decided to give herself a try. The day came. Emily and Lucy went to the competition site. But she was too timid (胆小的) to walk onto the stage. She had been waiting until others finished singing. She shakily forced herself to stand on the stage. She started to sing, but her voice was so low. What’s worse, she was so nervous that she forgot the lyrics (歌词) after singing a few words. Being laughed at by others, embarrassed and shy, she ran away from the stage.
Some naughty boys ran after her and said, “Emily, coward (胆小鬼)! Emily, coward!” Emily didn’t argue with them. What she wanted was to go back home as quickly as she could. Finally, she rushed into the house, hugged her mom and cried sadly.
“Well, my poor girl. Don’t cry. Tell me what happened to you,” asked her mom. Emily looked up at her mother and told her what she had experienced.
Listening to her, her mom cupped her face and said, “It doesn’t matter, girl. As long as you practice singing more in front of strangers, you will become braver little by little. So, my girl, don’t be beaten by a failure. You can go out to practice singing every day. No matter who is listening to you, go on singing and never stop. I believe there will be a harvest for you.”

The 4, 300-year-old city is where dynasties have risen and fallen since the earliest days of settled human civilization. UNESCO Says the site "offers a look into one of the most influential empires of the ancient world".

Have you ever shouted at your computer because it wasn’t working? Your computer couldn’t “yell” back – until now. AI researchers are now working on computers that can argue and perhaps even win debates with humans.
IBM scientists published a paper in Nature on March 17 about their new AI system – Project Debater. After listening to arguments from its opponent (对手), the system can search around 400 million online articles in less than five minutes. It looks for ideas that can support its own argument.
Testing on the system began in 2019 when it debated with Harish Natarajan, a professional debater who holds the world record for most debate competition victories. The debate topic was whether or not preschool should be funded, and the AI system argued in favor of this idea. Although the AI lost the debate in the end based on the audience vote, the audience said it did very well. Interestingly, 58 percent of the audience said that Project Debater increased their knowledge about the topic, while only 20 percent said the same about Natarajan. Also, Project Debater has shown strength at making impressive and logical opening statements in the debate, according to Scientific American.
Humans and technology have been battling for decades. In 1997, IBM’s Deep Blue became the first computer to defeat a reigning (卫冕的) chess champion, Garry Kasparov in a six-game match. So after two decades, have IBM’s researchers just reproduced a “Deep Blue” to debate? It’s much more than that, the researchers noted. Argument and debate are fundamental abilities of human intelligence, and it’s a step outside of AI’s comfort zone to enter this field, according to the article in Nature.
4. What is the purpose of Paragraph 1?
A. Make a comparison. B. Introduce the topic.
C. Ask a question about computer. D. Give background information.
5. How can Project Debater debate with humans?
A. By learning from humans.
B. By making use of its internal data.
C. By listening to researchers’ instructions.
D. By collecting a lot of data in a short time.
6. What did the majority of the audience think about the performance of Project Debater in the testing?
A. Its opening statements were boring.
B. Its statements were not logical enough.
C. Its overall performance was better than Natarajan’s.
D. It made them more aware of the topic.
7. What can be learn from the last paragraph?
A. Humans have an advantage over AI in debating.
B. Project Debater is considered an updated version of Deep Blue.
C. AI has a long way to go before it can win against humans.
D. AI technology hasn’t progressed much in the last decades.
C
People smile at times. However, the meaning of a smile in different cultures may be different. Depending on different cultures, smiling can express joy and amusement, but it can also show embarrassment(尴尬).
People in the United States smile a lot. Every one smiles at each other in order to show they are open and friendly. However, in China, smiling is not only an expression of happiness, but also a way to avoid being embarrassed. Chinese people like smiling when they are embarrassed in order to avoid embarrassment. Smiling is a kind of good will but not sneer(嘲笑). For example: When a child falls down from a bike, the adults in China may smile, which is a kind of gentle encouragement and not a kind of impolite laugh.
When a person from the United States might blush(脸红)with embarrassment or become offensive(冒犯的), a Chinese might blush with smile. To avoid serious misunderstanding, people who engage in intercultural (跨文化的) communication should be able to understand the meaning of smiling properly.
8. We can use smile to express all of the following feelings except _________,
A. joy and happiness B. amusement
C. embarrassment D. fear
9. People often smile at each other in the United States because _________.
A. they are very happy
B. they want to show they are friendly
C. they want to hide their true feelings
D. they want to avoid embarrassment
10. In China, seeing a child falls off a bike, an adult will smile in order to _______.
A. laugh at him
B. avoid his own embarrassment
C. avoid embarrassment and encourage the boy
D. show his politeness

People who like travelling have their reasons. They believe that travelling can help them expand their field of view, especially in the geographical and historical sense. They also think that touring will give them more chances to enjoy different kinds of food and experience new things that would never be brought by other activities. But those who dislike travelling also have some reasons.
Travelling, in my opinion, does more good than harm. Most importantly, it broadens our mind. We can get in touch with other civilizations, cultures, customs and ideas.
Through history, most people travelled because of necessity — not for pleasure. People travelled just in order to remain alive. They searched for food to eat or places to live in. They sometimes ran away from enemies. This is not to say that no one ever travelled just for the fun of it. In ancient times, for example, rich Romans travelled all the way to Greece to take part in the Olympic Games, and festivals. Of course, some people decided to travel just out of curiosity. They wanted to find out what it looked like beyond the horizon. Also business travel has been going on for centuries. Traders could not only make money but also learn to speak several languages and be introduced to different cultures.
So, travelling does enrich our mind and draw new ideas to us. There is no doubt that we can get much from it.

Once there was a little girl named Emily. Although her singing was very pleasant to hear, lacking courage, she never dared to sing in front of strangers.
One summer, the neighborhood where she lived would hold a singing competition. Her best friend, Lucy, came to invite her to participate in the competition, but Emily said, “I am afraid to take part in it.” Her mother said, “It’s okay. Just do it bravely.” Emily followed her mom’s advice and decided to give herself a try. The day came. Emily and Lucy went to the competition site. But she was too timid (胆小的) to walk onto the stage. She had been waiting until others finished singing. She shakily forced herself to stand on the stage. She started to sing, but her voice was so low. What’s worse, she was so nervous that she forgot the lyrics (歌词) after singing a few words. Being laughed at by others, embarrassed and shy, she ran away from the stage.
Some naughty boys ran after her and said, “Emily, coward (胆小鬼)! Emily, coward!” Emily didn’t argue with them. What she wanted was to go back home as quickly as she could. Finally, she rushed into the house, hugged her mom and cried sadly.
“Well, my poor girl. Don’t cry. Tell me what happened to you,” asked her mom. Emily looked up at her mother and told her what she had experienced.
Listening to her, her mom cupped her face and said, “It doesn’t matter, girl. As long as you practice singing more in front of strangers, you will become braver little by little. So, my girl, don’t be beaten by a failure. You can go out to practice singing every day. No matter who is listening to you, go on singing and never stop. I believe there will be a harvest for you.”
