Growing up in America, I enjoyed the convenience of eating the most attractive, well-packaged foods of the 20th century, including all the candies we often see near the cash register. During those times I wasn't aware how bad sugar was, and in fact, neither was anyone around me. So J continued to spread jam on my toast and eat ice cream daily.
Strangely enough, I felt that sweet was some sort of wonderful drug which gave me the energy to function properly, to feel good and to perform at my best, all of which seemed necessary for growth. So why should I avoid it?
Years later, huge food companies, like General Mills and Post, began pumping more sugar into their products, and then more and more people appeared with bigger bellies(腹部). It finally came to my awareness that our society was becoming more miserable and unfit. And from what? From sugar! I began to do some research into sugar and what it did exactly to our bodies. To my amazement, I found its damage was just as bad as, if not worse than, what alcohol and cigarettes brought about. You see, when you take in more sugar than you need or burn, your body and brain become over-active. This, in effect, causes your cognitive(认知的) abilities to slow down, your mood to get to the extremes, your skin to age faster, your blood to become thicker and your liver and kidneys to be worn out.
But what surprised me most, out of all of these horrible side effects, was that sugar adds extra pounds to your waistline, even if you do exercise regularly. And what I've always wanted, for the past few years, is to remove that extra fat around my belly so that I could finally see my abs(腹肌).
I just didn't know, this whole time, what damage I had been doing to myself and my dreams , but I knew I had to do something I had never done before.
4. What did the author use to do?
A. He took in much sugar. B. He learnt to cook foods.
C. He sold ice cream daily. D. He had candies packaged.
5. What made the author begin to doubt the benefits of sugar?
A. Sugar was unable to provide necessary energy.
B. More people eating sugary foods became unfit.
C. Some companies avoided adding sugar to foods.
D. Many customers stopped buying sugary products.
6. What is the third paragraph mainly about?
A. The author's comments on sugar.
B. The detailed process of the research.
C. The harmful effect of sugar on health.
D. The reasons why the research is done.
7. What does the author probably decide to do at last?
A. Eat less food. B. Cut down sugar.
C. Do more exercise. D. Add extra pounds.
C
Some parents will buy any high-tech toy if they think it will help their child, but researchers said puzzles help children with math-related skills.
Psychologist Susan Levine, an expert on mathematics development in young children at the University of Chicago, found children who play with puzzles between ages 2 and 4 later develop better spatial skills. Puzzle play was found to be a significant predictor of cognition(认知) after controlling for differences in parents’ income, education and the amount of parent talk, Levine said.
The researchers analyzed video recordings of 53 child-parent pairs during everyday activities at home and found children who play with puzzles between 26 and 46 months of age have better spatial skills when assessed at 54 months of age.
“The children who played with puzzles performed better than those who did not, on tasks that assessed their ability to rotate(旋转)and translate shapes,” Levine said in a statement.
The parents were asked to interact with their children as they normally would, and about half of children in the study played with puzzles at one time. Higher-income parents tended to have children play with puzzles more frequently, and both boys and girls who played with puzzles had better spatial skills. However, boys tended to play with more complex puzzles than girls, and the parents of boys provided more spatial language and were more active during puzzle play than parents of girls.
The findings were published in the journal Developmental Science.
8. In which aspect do children benefit from puzzle play?
A. Building confidence. B. Developing spatial skills.
C. Learning self-control. D. Gaining high-tech knowledge.
9. What did Levine take into consideration when designing her experiment?
A. Parents’ age. B. Children’s imagination.
C. Parents’ education. D. Child-parent relationship.
10. How do boy differ from girls in puzzle play?
A. They play with puzzles more often.
B. They tend to talk less during the game.
C. They prefer to use more spatial language.
D. They are likely to play with tougher puzzles.
11. What is the text mainly about?
A. A mathematical method. B. A scientific study.
C. A woman psychologist D. A teaching program.
D
Researchers at the University of Chicago have trained an artificial intelligence system, to write fake reviews on Yelp, a website showing customers reviews on shopping or something else, and it's pretty hard to tell them apart from a human review.
Their study, which will be presented at the ACM Conference on Computer and Communications Security in October, aimed to throw attention onto how easily these systems can write reviews like humans and how damaging they can become if they’re not monitored properly.
Since many small businesses rely on online reviews to help grow and keep their reputation, a future where someone—like a rival or angry customer—could crazily fill their page with negative reviews written by a machine is pretty worrying.
And, according to the research team, the threat goes far beyond a bunch of fake reviews on Yelp. “In general the threat is bigger,” Ben Y. Zhao. one of the authors of the study, said. “I think the threat towards society is large and it really misleads users and shakes our belief in what is real and what is not. I think that' s going to be even unimaginable.”
To test how believable these reviews came across, the researchers invited 40 volunteers and had AI generate five fake reviews for 40 actual restaurants. The volunteers were asked how useful they thought the review was and whether or not they thought it was fake. The AI reviews ranked as “effectively indistinguishable” from real reviews,according to the study. Further, the fake reviews were given a 3.15 "usefulness" rating, compared to a 3.28 rating for human reviews.
12. What can the new artificial intelligence system do according to the passage?
A. It can help train new reviewers.
B. It can tell the real reviews from the fake ones.
C. It can write human-like reviews.
D. It can easily damage the businesses.
13. What does the underlined word "rival'' mean in the passage?
A. A person who respects you deeply.
B. A person who competes with you.
C. A person who loves to give fake reviews.
D. A person who can control you from distance.
14. What can we infer from Ben Y. Zhao's remarks?
A. Artificial intelligence can put the society in danger.
B. The artificial intelligence is only used by the researchers
C. Ben Y. Zhao is optimistic about the further development of artificial intelligence.
D. The artificial intelligence will help people shake.
15. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Tips Suggestions on Giving Reviews.
B. How to Tell the Fake Reviews.
C. Development of AI in Review on Yelp.
D. AI is Coming to Steal Your Reviews.

Researchers at the University of Chicago have trained an artificial intelligence system, to write fake reviews on Yelp, a website showing customers reviews on shopping or something else, and it's pretty hard to tell them apart from a human review.
Their study, which will be presented at the ACM Conference on Computer and Communications Security in October, aimed to throw attention onto how easily these systems can write reviews like humans and how damaging they can become if they’re not monitored properly.
Since many small businesses rely on online reviews to help grow and keep their reputation, a future where someone—like a rival or angry customer—could crazily fill their page with negative reviews written by a machine is pretty worrying.
And, according to the research team, the threat goes far beyond a bunch of fake reviews on Yelp. “In general the threat is bigger,” Ben Y. Zhao. one of the authors of the study, said. “I think the threat towards society is large and it really misleads users and shakes our belief in what is real and what is not. I think that' s going to be even unimaginable.”
To test how believable these reviews came across, the researchers invited 40 volunteers and had AI generate five fake reviews for 40 actual restaurants. The volunteers were asked how useful they thought the review was and whether or not they thought it was fake. The AI reviews ranked as “effectively indistinguishable” from real reviews,according to the study. Further, the fake reviews were given a 3.15 "usefulness" rating, compared to a 3.28 rating for human reviews.
12. What can the new artificial intelligence system do according to the passage?
A. It can help train new reviewers.
B. It can tell the real reviews from the fake ones.
C. It can write human-like reviews.
D. It can easily damage the businesses.
13. What does the underlined word "rival'' mean in the passage?
A. A person who respects you deeply.
B. A person who competes with you.
C. A person who loves to give fake reviews.
D. A person who can control you from distance.
14. What can we infer from Ben Y. Zhao's remarks?
A. Artificial intelligence can put the society in danger.
B. The artificial intelligence is only used by the researchers
C. Ben Y. Zhao is optimistic about the further development of artificial intelligence.
D. The artificial intelligence will help people shake.
15. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Tips Suggestions on Giving Reviews.
B. How to Tell the Fake Reviews.
C. Development of AI in Review on Yelp.
D. AI is Coming to Steal Your Reviews.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。芝加哥大学的研究人员已经培训出了一个人工智能(AI) 系统,在Yep上编写虚假评论,足以乱真其目的是强调这些系统可以很容易地写出像人类一样的评论,如果它们没有被恰当的运用,它们会变得多么具有破坏性,而这一威胁远远不止如此。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段Researchers at the University of Chicago have trained an artificial intelligence system, to write fake reviews on Yelp, a website showing customers reviews on shopping or something else, and it's pretty hard to tell them apart from a human review.芝加哥大学(University of Chicago)的研究人员研发了一个人工智能系统,让它在Yelp网站上撰写虚假评论。很难把它们与人类的评论区分开。可知,这种新的人工智能系统可以撰写出就像人类写的一样的评论。故选C项。
【13题详解】
词义猜测题。根据文章第三段第1句Since many small businesses rely on online reviews to help grow and keep their reputation, a future where someone could crazily fill their page with negative reviews written by a machine is pretty worrying由于许多小企业依赖在线评论来帮助成长和保持声誉,未来有人可能会疯狂地用机器写的负面评论填满他们的页面,这是相当令人担忧的。可知划线单词所在部分like a rival or angry customer是someone的同位语,对其进行解释说明。根据上下文语境以及生活常识可以判断出,对于企业来说,面对的有顾客和竞争对手两类人。因此rival可以理解为竞争对手。故选B项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段第2句“In general the threat is bigger,” Ben Y. Zhao. one of the authors of the study, said. “I think the threat towards society is large and it really misleads users and shakes our belief in what is real and what is not. I think that' s going to be even unimaginable.” “总的来说,威胁更大,”赵本源说,该研究的作者之一 “我认为对社会的威胁是巨大的,它真的误导了用户,动摇了我们对什么是真的、什么不是的信念。我认为这甚至是不可想象的。”可知他认为AI智能能够误导用户明辨是非的能力,会对社会带来不可想象的威胁。故选A项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知,芝加哥大学的研究人员已经培训出了一个人工智能(AI) 系统,在Yep上编写虚假评论,足以乱真其目的是强调这些系统可以很容易地写出像人类一样的评论,如果它们没有被恰当的运用,它们会变得多么具有破坏性,而这一威胁远远不止如此。选项D. AI is Coming to Steal Your Reviews.体现了这一中心思想。故选D项。
【点睛】词义猜测技巧—通过生活经验和生活常识猜测词义。
英语阅读理解选择的素材具有时代性,新颖性和生活性的特点,尤其强调选择一些与学生生活息息相关的素材。因此,生活经历或与日常生活有关的常识可以帮助考生更准确地猜测词义。以文章第2题为例:
2. What does the underlined word "rival'' mean in the passage?
A. A person who respects you deeply.
B. A person who competes with you.
C. A person who loves to give fake reviews.
D. A person who can control you from distance.
根据题干定位原文:Since many small businesses rely on online reviews to help grow and keep their reputation, a future where someone—like a rival or angry customer—could crazily fill their page with negative reviews written by a machine is pretty worrying.
Rival和customer为之前someone的同位语,在句中对someone进行解释说明。根据生活常识,任何人都可以通过网络,网页对商品做出评价。作为商家,面对的人分为两种,一种为顾客,另一种为竞争对手。对于购买到的商品,顾客有权评价。而作为竞争对手,也可以通过网络进行恶意评价作为不正当竞争方式之一。Customer为顾客,则rival理解为竞争对手。因此B项正确。

The Meredith family lived in a small community. As the economy was in decline, some people in the town had lost their jobs. Many of their families were struggling to make ends meet. People were trying to help each other meet the challenges.
Mrs. Meredith was a most kind and thoughtful woman. She spent a great deal of time visiting the poor. She knew they had problems, and they needed all kinds of help. When she had time, she would bring food and medicine to them.
One morning she told her children about a family she had visited the day before. There was a man sick in bed, his wife, who took care of him and could not go out to work, and their little boy. The little boy -his name was Bernard-had interested her very much.
“I wish you could see him,” she said to her own children, John, Harry, and Clara. “He is such a help to his mother. He wants very much to earn some money, but I don't see what he can do.”
After their mother left the room, the children sat thinking about Bernard. “I wish we could help him to earn money,” said Clara. “His family is suffering so much.”
“So do I,” said Harry. “We really should do something to assist them.”
For some moments, John said nothing, but, suddenly, he sprang to his feet and cried, “I have a great idea! I have a solution that we can all help accomplish (完成).”
The other children also jumped up all attention. When John had an idea, it was sure to be a good one. “I tell you what we can do,” said John. “You know that big box of corn Uncle John sent us? Well, we can make popcorn (爆米花), and put it into paper bags, and Bernard can take it around to the houses and sell it.”

【答案】When Mrs. Meredith heard of John’s idea, she thought it was a good one, too. So, they went to the local supermarket together. They bought some special bags for popcorn.
