After taking classes part-time over the next five years,Allamby was told he had to take biology to get his degree,which later turned out to be the best thing that ever happened.Biology classes reawakened a childhood dream that he had hidden somewhere deep within himself. Born in East Cleveland,Ohio,Allamby was raised by his stay-at-home mother and a father who sold home goods door-to-door.His school didn't offer the advanced science classes that might have led him on a premed(医学预科的)path.Even if it had,doing well in school could prove dangerous.“You could get into a lot of trouble just for being the class nerd(讨厌的人)，”Allamby said.So he set aside the thoughts of becoming a doctor and started fixing cars instead. But a different Carl Allamby walked into that biology class at age 39.He was ready to live his dream. 第5页共10页 With the support of his family he soon decided to skip business school to take science classes.Becoming a doctor was late and he would become a nurse instead,he reasoned.But Allamby's chemistry professor told him "Why not a doctor?You have a great talent for the work.You will go a long way."The professor was right and Allamby did very well. In 2015,Allamby cut ties with his past,and then he started at Northeast Ohio Medical University.In 2019,Carl Allamby became Carl Allamby,MD.He took a job in emergency medicine at Cleveland Clinic Akron General. "How many people can do something so brand-new at such a late stage in their life?"he said."My age and past career are all good reasons why I shouldn't be here.And yet,here I am." 44.Why was taking biology "the best thing that ever happened"to Allamby?

This absorbing new book by Catriona Campbell is a practical roadmap dealing with the challenges brought oy AI revolution. In the wrong hands,such a book could prove as complicated as the computer code,but thankfully, Campbell has more than two decades'experience transforming the heady into the understandable.She writes rom the practical angle of a business person rather than as an academic,making for a guide which is highly ccessible and informative,and which will make you feel almost as smart as AI. As we soon come to learn from A/by Design,AI is already super-smart and will become more capable, 第6页共10页 moving from the current generation of "narrow-AI"to Artificial General Intelligence.From there,Campbell says,will come Artificial Dominant Intelligence.This is why Campbell has set out to raise awareness of AI and its future now-several decades before these developments are expected to take place.She says it is necessary that we keep control of Al,or risk being sidelined and perhaps even worse. Campbell's point is to wake up those responsible for AI-the technology companies.and world leaders-so they are on the same page as all the experts developing it.She explains we are at a "tipping point"in history and must act now to prevent an extinction()-level event for humanity.We need to consider how we want our future with Al.Such thinking,together with global regulation(),will enable us to achieve greatness rather than our downfall. AI will affect us all,and if you only read one book on the subject,this is it. 48.What does the phrase"In the wrong hands"in paragraph 2 probably mean? A.If read by someone poorly educated. B.If reviewed by someone ill-intentioned. C.If written by someone less professional.D.Iftranslated by someone unacademic. 49.What does Campbell urge people to do about AI development? A.Follow existing regulations on it. B.Reconsider expert opinions about it. C.Make joint efforts to keep it under control.D.Learn from previous experience to slow it down 50.What is the author's purpose in writing the text? A.To recommend a book on Al B.To give a brief description of AI history. C.To explain the definition of AI D.To honor an outstanding AI expert. D The recipe for succeeding in any given field is hardly a mystery:good ideas,hard work,discipline, imagination,persistence and maybe a little luck.Oh,and let's not forget failure,which Dashun Wang and his colleagues at Northwestern University call "the essential prerequisite(先决条件)for success'”in a new paper. But not every failure leads to success,he adds.And what eventually separates the winners from the losers,the research shows,certainly is not persistence.One of the more interesting findings in the paper, published last October in Nature,is that the people who eventually succeeded and the people who eventually failed tried the same number of times to achieve their goals. It turns out that trying again and again only works if you learn from your previous failures.The idea is to work smart,not hard.You have to figure out what worked and what didn't,and then focus on what needs to be improved instead of struggling around and changing everything,"says Wang."The people who failed didn't necessarily work less than those who succeeded.They could actually have worked more:it's just that they made more unnecessary changes." 第7页共10页 As they explored "the mechanisms governing the dynamics of failure",Wang's team identified what they describe as previously unknown statistical signatures that separate successful groups from unsuccessful groups,making it possible to predict their final outcomes. One such key indicator is the time between consecutive (failed attempts,which should decrease steadily.In other words,the faster you fail,the better your chances of success,and the more time between attempts,the more likely you are to fail again."If someone has applied for a grant and they are three failures in,"Wang says,"if we just look at the timing between the failures,we will be able to predict whether they will eventually succeed or not." Working with such large-scale data,Wang and his colleagues were able to identify a critical point that was common to each of the hundreds of thousands of undertakings they had analyzed,a fork in the road where one path leads to a development region and one leads to a stagnation region. Wang points out that the existence of the tipping point cuts against the traditional explanations for failure or success,such as luck or a person's work habits."What we're showing here is that even in the absence of such differences,you can still have very different outcomes."he says.What matters is how people fail,how they respond to failure and where those failures lead. 51.It can be learned from Paragraph 2 that A.winners are more persistent than losers B.failure is not important for success at all C.more trying doesn't necessarily result in success D.winners and losers differ in how many times they tried 52.Wang and his colleagues believe that A.no one can achieve success without failure B.failure can sometimes help predict success C.the performance pattern(行为模式)is difficult to identify D.the critical point had been discovered by chance 53.The underlined phrase"a stagnation region"in Paragraph 6 refers to a region. A.without progress B.beyond recognition C.unknown to outsiders D.in its beginning stage 54.What is the conclusion of Wang's research? A.Winners try less than losers,but gain more. B.Persistence is the ultimate secret to success. C.Working smart could turn failures into future successes. D.Luck and work habits hardly make any difference to the result. 第8页共10页 第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，共10分） Have you found focusing on yourself is at the bottom of the to-do list,because you feel everyone else in your life comes first?55 Now is exactly the perfect time to get to know yourself in order to understand yourself. This isn't just about identifying your favorite outfit,haircut or flavor of ice cream.56It's an opportunity for personal growth that can help you make better choices for your wellbeing and lifelong happiness. There are many tools to help you develop a deeper sense of yourself,including jouraling and other forms of creative expression.You can use a guided journal to explore your thoughts and feelings or just free write whatever comes to mind.It's up to you what you want to do.57. 58 Take note of how you respond to people,what makes you happy,and what makes you unhappy.This can help you identify patterns that are holding you back,such as feeling insecure or being easily angered.Once you've identified these patterns,you can work to change them. An often overlooked yet very important factor in self-discovery is having healthy boundaries in your personal life.59 Clearly communicating your boundaries is also a way to show others that you are in control of your own behavior and can expect the same from them.This is a sign of maturity and respect, two characteristics that are key to having healthy relationships. A.It's one thing to know your personal type. B.It's a great way to show that you care about others. C.Taking time for ourselves has been looked down upon. D.Another way is to observe your behavior in different situations. E.It allows you to focus on the needs of yourself without ignoring others. F.But try not to get caught up in the criticism or judgment of your writing. G.It's about understanding your inner world and how you fit into the outer world. 第四部分书面表达（共两节，32分） 第一节（共4小题，第55,56题各2分，第57题3分，第58题5分，共12分） In a growing number of school districts across America,students must wear a uniform.According to the US Department of Education,wearing a uniform can maintain discipline and help schools recognize those who come to the school illegally.Schools claim that when students come in uiform,it improves discipline and leads to academic gains.However,students protested the decision. A more important question is whether there is any evidence to show that mandatory uniform policies can lead to improved student outcomes.A 2003 study that used a large national data set concluded that elementary and middle schools with school uniforms had fewer student behavior problems.But it found 第9页共10页 that high schools had a greater frequency of misbehavior. Interestingly,even when evidence is available,educators could take the opposite view.For example,a study of educators in 38 North Carolina high schools found that 61%of the school masters believed that there was a reduction in cases of misbehavior on campus when school uniforms were introduced.In reality, the data showed no change in incidents of suspensions()and other problems. Similarly,research on the effectiveness of school uniforms on increasing student attendance and achievement is confusing.For example,one study concluded that school uniforms resulted in increased student achievement and increased attendance.However,another study found little impact on academics at all levels and little evidence of improvement in attendance for girls and drop in attendance for boys.So,what does lack of consistent research mean for policy? In my view,it does not mean that schools should not carry out such policies.It does mean,however, that educators must be clear about the goals that thcy hope to achieve.Decreased discipline problcms, increased attendance and academic achievement may not be achieved just by wearing uniforms.But there may be other benefits,for instance,it could help a school promote its brand through a uniform look.School uniforms may also serve as a symbol of commitment to academic achievement. 60.Why are students required to wear school uniforms in America? 61.What are the findings of the 2003 study? 62.Please decide which part is false in the following statement,then underline it and explain why. Some studies showed wearing school uniforms helped improve students'performance,but other studies found no consistent results,so schools should stop the school uniform policy. 63.What do you think of wearing school uniforms?Explain your reasons.(In about 40 words) 第二节(20分) 假定你是红星中学高二学生李华，英语戏剧社负责人。学校本周六下午举办英语戏刷展演，请写 邮件邀请外教Mrim前来观看并给我们指导。内容包括： 1.展演时间地点； 2.活动内容； 3.希望她给点评。 注意：词数100左右。 Dear Jim, Yours, LiHua 第10页共10页
