四、阅读理解
Rich life experiences have helped make up everything you are today. So just imagine how many valuable experiences your elders can share with you. When you spend time volunteering with seniors, you'll benefit just as much as they do!
We've put together some ideas for different ways to lend a hand, or a listening ear to seniors. Remember, simply giving your time and conversation can sometimes mean the most.
Visit an assisted living facility
One of the most meaningful things you can do for someone in an assisted living facility is share some quality time together. Whether you're going to see a neighbor or loved one, call ahead to plan a time to drop by. Even if your days fill up quickly, just a quick hello can brighten someone's day.
Reach out locally
Chances are that there are seniors right in your own neighborhood who could use your help.
●Some seniors' health prevents them from getting out. Keep them from feeling lonely by going for a visit or bringing over a meal.
●Offer to do many around-the-house chores for the seniors.
Be a companion
There are plenty of seniors who could use some company! And there are many programs and organizations that can match you up with the perfect senior friend in your area.
●With the Elder Helpers program, you can sign up to help in ways that fit your interests and skills.
●You can join the Senior Corps program to help older seniors with daily tasks.
●You can also volunteer to help aging seniors through organizations such as the National Council on Aging.
Be a skillful talker
You can learn from your older friends - many of their experiences may surprise you! But it can often be challenging to know just what to ask in order to start a conversation.
●Discover their passion: Does your friend love to cook? Ask them to share a favorite family recipe. They'll welcome the opportunity to chat about it.
●Discover their skills: Ask your friends about their skills and hobbies - sewing, woodworking, writing. Request that they teach you a thing or two.
●Make some artwork: Turn select pages of your memory book into wall art for their room, and so your friend can continuously recall good times.
21．What does the author intend to do through the text?
A．To explain how to make seniors happy.
B．To introduce the benefits of volunteering.
C．To encourage people to share experiences.
D．To give a guide for volunteering with seniors.
22．How many programs and organizations are mentioned?
A．2. B．3. C．4. D．5.
23．What is the “Be a skillful talker” part about?
A．How to answer questions. B．How to make up stories.
C．How to persuade the seniors. D．How to start a conversation.

Like most people, I had a lot of time on my hands these past few years, and I spent most of it on my phone. This, together with anxiety medication (药物治疗), has made my brain weak. I’ve never had a very good memory, but by summer of 2021, I saw the little memory that I did have disappear suddenly while Googling “ben afleCk brther bad 1.”
I grew frustrated. I couldn’t remember the name of Joan Holloway’s military husband from Mad Men without looking it up, or the name of my college friend, who would come into my dorm regularly to talk about how much he worked out. None of this was especially useful or life-changing information, but I wanted to remember it without making a shameful mess of my search history.
Inspired by a desire to impress myself and others, I decided to stop looking stuff up online and see what happened. When I couldn’t remember the character from Mad Men, instead of instantly turning to my phone, I just sat there, thinking, very hard. (Aha! Greg was his name.) And so my new skill was born: Strong Brain.
For a few months, I didn’t make any progress. Sometimes I would sit without knowing something for hours, well after whoever I was with had looked it up and had moved on to knowing the next thing that I couldn’t remember. I was frequently laughed at and made to feel stupid for sitting with my arms crossed. I was teased for not coming up with answers to things that no one on earth should know simply because I took an attitude against looking them up.
But while the sounds of my haters got louder and louder, my brain beefed up in my defense. As friends tried to remember the name of the actor who played Robin Williams’s sweetheart in Jumanji, I spoke unthinkingly with ‘Bonnie Hunt’.
If you’re like me and have always wanted to be the shiny, pretty person at a party that everyone is listening to and smiling at and wondering where she got her hair cut, I think Strong Brain is the party trick for you.
24．What do we learn about the author from paragraph 1?
A．She was overusing the phone.
B．She wasted a lot of time on the calls.
C．She was addicted to anxiety medicine.
D．She made many spelling errors while searching.
25．What did the author decide to do after the summer of 2021?
A．Improve her recall. B．Seek help from medicine.
C．Clear up her search history. D．Connect with her college friend.
26．What did other people think of the author’s new skill training?
A．Difficult. B．Important. C．Ridiculous. D．Rewarding.
27．What is the best title of the text?
A．My Concern over Anxiety. B．My Way to Be Brain-Strong.
C．My Fight with High Technology. D．My Suffering from Poor Memory.

The brown paper bag hit the ground. A Michelin engineer picked it up and opened it, revealing a cracked, leaking egg. The third graders at A．J. Whittenberg Elementary School were disappointed when they saw the runny mess.
It was engineering week at A．J. Whittenberg, a public primary school in Greenville, South Carolina. One week per month, engineers from local industries visit the classrooms and talk to students about their careers.
Greenville is now introducing the idea of a career path to students in primary school and giving students the option to follow those programs to middle and high schools. Each primary school focuses on a specific technical skill. The district allows students to attend schools outside of their attendance boundaries as long as space is available, which means students can choose to continue to follow their chosen career pathway at a middle school with corresponding programs.
The effort in Greenville is part of a growing national trend in which school districts partner with local industries to develop curriculum (课程) and expose students to specialized careers at a young age.
Some education experts worry the focus on industry qualifications has resulted in schools taking on responsibilities that should fall to businesses, like training workers for specific job duties, damaging a more comprehensive education in schools. “Schools are to not just prepare people for work and strengthen the economy, but also a place where students should experience art, music and think creatively,” said Jack Schneider, a professor of education at the University of Massachusetts.
A teacher from Greenville, however, said, “Career exposure has a big impact on kids. We’re not really wanting them to make a decision—‘I’m in the second grade and now I’m locked in to being whatever when I graduate from high school in 10 years.’ We just hope students walk across the graduation stage with plans for a career in mind.”
Modern times need modern solutions. When students leave school, they need to be already down their road to college, if that’s what they’re going to do, or schools need to give them something that allows them to get to work and earn a living. Just getting out with a high school degree doesn’t do that.
28．Why were the third graders disappointed?
A．Their test failed. B．The bag missed the target.
C．Engineers disturbed them. D．They had to clean the ground.
29．What does Greenville do to help students follow their chosen path?
A．Design more career paths. B．Invite engineers to their schools.
C．Adopt the open enrollment policy. D．Offer more courses for them to choose.
30．What is Jack Schneider concerned about?
A．People’s employment. B．Students’ overall development.
C．The nation’s economy. D．The school’s innovative education.
31．Which statement would the author most likely agree with?
A．Modern solutions are hard to find.
B．More students need college education.
C．Greenville’s practice is not acceptable.
D．A high school degree is not enough for jobs.

Machine learning sees reasoning as a categorization task with a fixed set of predetermined labels. It views the world as a fixed space of possibilities, calculating and weighing them all. This approach, of course, has achieved notable successes when applied to stable and well-defined situations such as chess or computer games. When such conditions are absent, however, machines struggle.
In 2008, Google launched Flu Trends, a web service that aimed to predict flu-related doctor visits using big data. The project, however, failed to predict the 2009 HINI flu outbreak. After several unsuccessful adjustments to its algorithm (算法), Google finally stopped the project in2015.
In such unstable situations, the human brain behaves differently. Sometimes, it simply forgets. Instead of getting trapped in irrelevant data, it relies only on the most recent information and makes creative decisions. This is a feature called intelligent forgetting. Adopting this approach, an algorithm that relies on a single data point would have reduced Google Flu Trends' prediction error by half.
Intelligent forgetting is just one dimension of psychological AI, an approach to machine intelligence that also includes other features of human intelligence such as causal reasoning, intuitive (直觉) psychology, and physics. Soon, this approach to Al will finally be recognized as fundamental for solving poorly-defined problems. Exploring these amazing features of the human brain will finally allow us to make machine learning smart.
One feature of psychological Al is that it is explainable. Until recently, researchers assumed that the more transparent an AI system was, the less accurate its predictions were. This mirrored the widespread but incorrect belief that complex problems always need complex solutions. Now, this idea will be laid to rest. As the case of flu predictions illustrates, powerful and simple psychological algorithms can often give more accurate predictions than complex algorithms. Psychological AI opens up a new vision for explainable AI: Instead of trying to explain complex systems, we can check first if psychological Al offers a simple and equally accurate solution.
Without the help of human psychology, it will become clearer that the application of this type of machine learning to unstable situations eventually runs up against impassable limitations. We will finally recognize that more computing power makes machines faster. Not smarter.
32．Why is Flu Trends mentioned?
A．To clarify a concept. B．To tell the serious outbreak.
C．To support the author's idea. D．To provide readers with the truth.
33．What is the advantage of human brain according to the passage?
A．It can think outside the box. B．It can avoid unclear problems.
C．It is capable of learning over time. D．It is good at following instructions.
34．Which has the similar meaning with the underlined word “transparent” in paragraph 5?
A．Similar. B．Unique. C．Complete. D．Clear.
35．What does the author intend to tell us?
A．AI speeds up the computing greatly.
B．Psychological Al can make smarter AI.
C．AI system works well in stable situations.
D．AI will outperform the human brain someday.

九、读后续写
67．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。
Tim’s heart raced as he drove to the lawyer’s office. He was bequeathed (遗赠) a mysterious box his dad had never allowed him and his sister to even go near. He signed papers, but was shocked to learn he didn’t get the key to open it and nothing about the key was mentioned in the will. “You’ll have to figure that out!” the lawyer said. Tim left the office, puzzled about what his late dad had left him.
Just then, he remembered his childhood home where he and his twin sister Karen grew up. They had lost their mother just two months after they were born. They were raised by their dad Jonathan, and the two were the best friends! As they grew older, they were drawn to the mysterious box, but their dad warned them never to touch it, and even hung the key on a nail high above the fireplace so that they would never get their hands on its contents. Whatever he was hiding from his kids, he was on guard at all times.
As the years fleeted by, Tim and Karen moved on with their respective lives. And their brother-sister bond went downhill. The twins fought over who would inherit (继承) their dad’s house. Jonathan was heartbroken and whatever trick he tried to reconcile (和解) them, nothing worked. Meanwhile, Jonathan’s health began to decline, and even on his deathbed, he wished his kids would put aside their differences and get back together.
What would Tim do with the inheritated box now? He went to his childhood home to find the key. The house no longer appeared like that loving home Tim remembered growing up in. When he reached to grab the key above the fireplace, he sensed someone behind him. “What are you doing here?” screamed Karen, casting the cell phone flashlight on Tim’s face.
“Dad bequeathed me his old chest, and I came here looking for the key. But what are you doing here?”
“Dad bequeathed me the key! So I came here to find the chest,” said Karen, puzzled about his father’s decision.
注意：
1.写作词数应为150左右；
2.请在答题卡的相应位置作答。
“Something had to be wrong,” they thought and stared at each other.

【原文】     Michael Morpurgo, born in St Albans in 1943, is the author of many well-known books for children, five of which have been made into films. After a brief and unsuccessful period in the army, he took up teaching in 1967, when he found his true interest in writing. He left teaching after ten years in order to set up a charity “Farms for City Children” with his wife. He thought what children needed most were wonderful and memorable experiences that would help them find more about the world and themselves. They have three farms in Devon, Wales and Gloucestershire, open to inner city school children who come to stay and work with the plants and animals. He is also a father and grandfather. Children have always played a large part in his life. Morpurgo has a gift for magical storytelling. His most popular books include War Horse, which was runner-up for the Whitbread Children’s Book Award in 1982 and became an enormous success onstage and on screen; My Friend Walter, which was adapted for television. The Butterfly Lion draws on the author’s own unhappy experiences at boarding school. He was awarded an Order of the British Empire in 2006 for services to literature.

I was teased for not coming up with answers to things that no one on earth should know simply because I took an attitude against looking them up. (我经常因为双臂交叉坐着而被嘲笑，并感到自己很愚蠢。我被取笑没有对地球上没有人应该知道的事情给出答案，仅仅是因为我采取了不去查的态度。)”可知，其他人认为作者的行为很荒唐可笑的。故选C。
27．主旨大意题。根据第一段“I’ve never had a very good memory, but by summer of 2021, I saw the little memory that I did have disappear suddenly while Googling “ben afleCk brther bad 1.”(我的记忆力从来都不是很好，但到了2021夏天，我在谷歌上搜索“ben-afleCk brther bad 1”时，我发现自己的小记忆突然消失了。)”和第三段“Inspired by a desire to impress myself and others, I decided to stop looking stuff up online and see what happened. When I couldn’t remember the character from Mad Men, instead of instantly turning to my phone, I just sat there, thinking, very hard. (Aha! Greg was his name.) And so my new skill was born: Strong Brain. (出于给自己和他人留下深刻印象的愿望，我决定停止在网上查找资料，看看发生了什么。当我记不起《广告狂人》中的角色时，我没有立即转向手机，而是坐在那里，非常认真地思考。（啊哈！格雷格是他的名字。）于是我的新技能诞生了：最强大脑。)”可知，这篇文章主要讲述作者是如何通过最强大脑来提高自己的记忆力的事情，B项“我的最强大脑之路。”适合做文章标题。故选B。

【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要讲述南卡罗来纳州格林维尔一所公立小学A.J.Whittenberg的工程周。每个月有一周，来自当地行业的工程师会参观教室，与学生谈论他们的职业生涯。
28．推理判断题。根据第一段“The brown paper bag hit the ground. A Michelin engineer picked it up and opened it, revealing a cracked, leaking egg. The third graders at A.J. Whittenberg Elementary School were disappointed when they saw the runny mess. (棕色纸袋掉到地上了。米其林的一位工程师把它捡起来打开，发现一个破裂、漏蛋液的鸡蛋。当A.J.Whittenberg小学的三年级学生看到这些乱七八糟的东西时，他们很失望。)”可知，三年级学生看到这些乱七八糟的东西时，他们很失望，是因为他们的实验失败了。故选A。
29．推理判断题。根据第三段“Greenville is now introducing the idea of a career path to students in primary school and giving students the option to follow those programs to middle and high schools. Each primary school focuses on a specific technical skill. The district allows students to attend schools outside of their attendance boundaries as long as space is available, which means students can choose to continue to follow their chosen career pathway at a middle school with corresponding programs. (格林维尔现在正在向小学学生引入职业道路的想法，并让学生可以选择跟随这些项目进入中学和高中。每一所小学都专注于一项特定的技术技能。该学区允许学生在有空间的情况下就读于其入学界限之外的学校，这意味着学生可以选择在有相应项目的中学继续走他们选择的职业道路。)”可知，格林维尔采用开放招生政策来帮助学生走自己选择的道路。故选C。
30．细节理解题。根据第五段““Schools are to not just prepare people for work and strengthen the economy, but also a place where students should experience art, music and think creatively,” said Jack Schneider, a professor of education at the University of Massachusetts. (马萨诸塞大学教育学教授Jack Schneider说：“学校不仅要让人们为工作做好准备，加强经济，也是学生应该体验艺术、音乐和创造性思维的地方。”)”可知，Jack Schneider教授认为学生们一个要全面的发展。故选B。
31．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Modern times need modern solutions. When students leave school, they need to be already down their road to college, if that’s what they’re going to do, or schools need to give them something that allows them to get to work and earn a living. Just getting out with a high school degree doesn’t do that. (现代需要现代的解决方案。当学生离开学校时，他们需要已经在上大学的路上了，如果这是他们要做的，或者学校需要给他们一些东西，让他们能够工作和谋生。仅仅获得高中学位并不能做到这一点。)”可知，高中学历并不能让学生们将来工作和谋生。故选D。
32．C 33．A 34．D 35．B

【导语】这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了心理人工智能可以让人工智能变得更聪明。
32．推理判断题。根据第一段“This approach, of course, has achieved notable successes when applied to stable and well-defined situations such as chess or computer games. When such conditions are absent, however, machines struggle.”（当然，这种方法在应用于国际象棋或电脑游戏等稳定且定义明确的情况时取得了显著的成功。然而，当没有这样的条件时，机器就会显得很吃力。）根据第二段“In 2008, Google launched Flu Trends, a web service that aimed to predict flu-related doctor visits using big data. The project, however, failed to predict the 2009 HINI flu outbreak. After several unsuccessful adjustments to its algorithm (算法), Google finally stopped the project in2015.”（2008年，谷歌推出了流感趋势，这是一项旨在利用大数据预测流感相关医生就诊情况的网络服务。然而，该项目未能预测2009年中国流感的爆发。在对算法进行了几次失败的调整后，谷歌终于在2015年停止了该项目）可知，提到流感趋势是为了支持作者的观点。故选C项。
33．细节理解题。根据第三段“In such unstable situations, the human brain behaves differently. Sometimes, it simply forgets. Instead of getting trapped in irrelevant data, it relies only on the most recent information and makes creative decisions.”（在这种不稳定的情况下，人类的大脑会有不同的表现。有时候，它只是忘记了。它不会被无关的数据所困，而是只依赖于最新的信息，并做出创造性的决定。）可知，人脑的优势是它可以跳出框框思维。故选A项。
34．词句猜测题。根据第五段“This mirrored the widespread but incorrect belief that complex problems always need complex solutions.”（这反映了一种普遍但不正确的观点，即复杂的问题总是需要复杂的解决方案）可知，直到最近，研究人员还认为人工智能系统越清晰，其预测就越不准确。故划线词的意思是“清晰的”。故选D。
35．主旨大意题。通读全文以及根据第四段“Exploring these amazing features of the human brain will finally allow us to make machine learning smart.”（探索人类大脑的这些惊人特征将最终使我们能够使机器学习变得智能。）根据最后一段“Without the help of human psychology, it will become clearer that the application of this type of machine learning to unstable situations eventually runs up against impassable limitations.”（如果没有人类心理学的帮助，将越来越清楚的是，将这种类型的机器学习应用于不稳定的情况最终会遇到不可逾越的限制）可知，作者想告诉我们心理人工智能可以让人工智能变得更聪明。故选B。

Even if a person is not very talented, nor highly knowledgeable, still he can succeed in life simply by his perseverance. Every action has its reaction. (坚持不懈是成功的秘诀。没有它，就不可能取得伟大的成就。即使一个人不是很有天赋，也不是很有知识，但只要他坚持不懈，他就能在生活中取得成功。每一个行动都有相应的结果。)”可知，要想成功就要付出努力。选项A“因此，辛勤劳动别无选择。”和上文意思一致。故选A。
39．空处位于段末应承接上文。根据上文“All the great men in history, Issac Newton, Columbus, Robert Bruce, etc., have written their names in golden letters by means of perseverance. (历史上所有的伟人，伊萨克·牛顿、哥伦布、罗伯特·布鲁斯等，都以坚韧不拔的精神用金色字母书写了自己的名字。)”可知，即使是伟人，也是经过努力才成功的，他们就是人们努力的榜样。选项F“他们的成功对我们来说将永远是完美的榜样。”符合题意，they指代上文提到的伟人。故选F。
40．根据上文“If one looks at his own life, he can very well understand that whatever he has so far gained, he has gained it only by his hard labor, and not by chance. Therefore, perseverance must be practiced. (如果一个人审视自己的生活，他可以很好地理解，无论他迄今为止获得了什么，他都是通过努力获得的，而不是偶然获得的。因此，必须坚持到底。)”可知，生活中一直努力并坚持，让它成为一种习惯，最终便能获得成就，选项D“这样，这种高尚的习惯就成为了一个人生活的一部分。”符合题意，the noble habit指“坚持”。故选D。

【导语】本文是一篇旅游日志。文章主要讲述作者去张家口的暖泉镇看打树花的经历。
56．考查名词的数。句意：这是一个古老的城镇，有明清时期的古城墙村庄，相对来说没有受到现代重建的影响。分析句子结构和意思可知，village是可数名词，前面没有限定词修饰，所以用复数形式，表示泛指。故填villages。
57．考查副词。句意：见第1题详解。分析句子结构和意思可知，这里需要副词作状语，修饰后面的形容词untouched。故填relatively。
58．考查非谓语动词。句意：我去那里不是因为它的泉水或保存完好的建筑，而是因为它的打树花表演，字面意思是“引人注目的树花”。分析句子结构和意思可知，动词translate和被修饰的名词its performances of Dashuhua是逻辑上的动宾关系，所以用过去分词形式，表示被动。故填translated。
59．考查形容词。句意：它通常在元宵节上表演，当钢铁工人将熔化的热铁扔到冰冷的砖墙上，产生灿烂的火花，就像一棵大树开放的花枝一样，因此得名。分析句子结构和意思可知，这里需要形容词作定语，修饰后面的名词branches，意为“开花的”。故填flowering。
60．考查定语从句。句意：当寒冷的夜晚来临时，观众们围坐在舞台周围，看那里的打树花表演。分析句子结构和意思可知，　　5　　 the fire show was performed是定语从句，先行词stage在从句中作地点状语，用关系副词where引导。故填where。
61．考查谓语动词。句意：当演员们走到舞台中央时，所有关于骨头碎裂温度的想法都被遗忘了。分析句子结构和意思可知，这句话描述的是过去的事情，句子主语temperatures和动词forget之间是被动关系，所以用一般过去时的被动语态结构，be动词用were。故填were forgotten。
62．考查代词。句意：它不仅需要专业技能，还需要身体强壮和勇气。分析句子结构和意思可知，这里考查代词it，指代上文提到的Dashuhua。故填It。
63．考查名词。句意：见第7题详解。分析句子结构和意思可知，空格前面是形容词physical，所以这里用名词strength，作宾语，是不可数名词。故填strength。
64．考查形容词比较级。句意：也也许这就是为什么越来越少的年轻人想学习这项技能，并在更大的城镇从事收入更高的工作的原因。分析句子结构和意思可知，这里考查形容词比较级，和前面的对应better-paying。故填larger。
65．考查介词。句意：幸运的是，这一传统在中国被列为非物质文化遗产。分析句子结构和意思可知，这里考查介词as，意为“作为”。故填as。

67． Both of them were puzzled about why their father gave one the key and the other the chest. Neither could open the chest without the other’s help. Suddenly they realized that only by giving out what their father gave them could they have the possibility to open the chest. Their father wanted them both put down their hatred and their father had been expecting they reconciled with each other. Karen gently passed the key to Tim and said, “You can open the chest with this key.”
Tears ran down their cheeks at seeing their childhood photos with their father and mother. They saw how sweet and happy they used to be. But now their brother-sister bond went downhill, and they had lost their beloved father and mother. Until death, their father still wanted to see them reconcile with each other, but they didn’t. What they did must have made their father sad and disappointed. At this moment, they felt more than guilty and they made up their mind to fix the gap and went back to their sweet and happy brother-sister life.
