Frederick Phiri is the junk-art king f Zambia: at just 22, he started t earn an internatinal reputatin fr being able t make cmplex and elegant sculptures frm scrap (废弃的) metal fund in his cmmunity.
Phiri’s father died when he was starting primary schl. Then his mther abandned him and he had t stay with his grandfather. His grandfather paid fr his schling thrugh primary schl but when he entered secndary schl, he had t get varius jbs t pay fr his fees. Yet even in schl, he was always drawing and making things in class.
After graduating, he did what he culd t supprt himself by making animal sculptures frm wires and sld them t turists. His wrk was s ppular that it caught the eye f Karen Beattie, directr f Prject Luangwa, a nnprfit rganizatin dedicated t educatin and ecnmic develpment in central Africa.
“I intrduced him t a lcal welder (焊工),” Beattie tld Newsweek.
In 2017, Phiri wrked with welder Mses Mbewe during the rainy seasn, helping t make a cmplex set f drs fr Prject Luangwa. The piece sparked an idea in Beattie’s mind: “I handed him a bunch f scrap metal and said, ‘Make smething with this.’ And he did. It was wnderful.”
Tday, Phiri cntinues his art, using pieces f junk peple bring him—keys, brken bike chains, ld metal plugs and whatever scrap metal is lying arund. He then turns the junk int abstract animals—elephants, cranes, giraffes, chamelens—and sells them at Prject Luangwa headquarters. The cmmunity has recgnized his talents.
“My dream is t earn enugh t study art at the Evelyn Hne Cllege in Lusaka and be able t make a living frm it,” Phiri said “and then t make very large sculptures.”
24. What is Phiri knwn fr?
A. Serving his cmmunity.B. Cllecting wrks f art.
C. Being the king f Zambia.D. Turning trash int treasure.
25. What can we learn abut Phiri frm paragraph 2?
A. He had an unhappy childhd.B. He paid fr his primary schl.
C. He had t supprt his grandfather.D. He missed schl t d part-time jbs.
26. Hw des Phiri feel abut his future?
A. Uncertain.B. Cnfident.
C. Depressed.D. Satisfied.
27. What can be a suitable title fr the passage?
A. A Successful Path f Art.B. The Junk-art King f Zambia.
C. A Yung Man’s Wildest Dream.D. The Mdern Junk Wrks f Art.
【答案】24. D 25. A 26. B 27. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了非洲赞比亚的废品艺术之王Frederick Phiri的人生事迹，激励读者为了自己的梦想而努力。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段内容“Frederick Phiri is the junk-art king f Zambia: at just 22, he started t earn an internatinal reputatin fr being able t make cmplex and elegant sculptures frm scrap metal fund in his cmmunity.( Frederick Phiri是赞比亚的垃圾艺术之王:在他22岁的时候，他就开始在国际上享有声誉，因为他能够用在他的社区里发现的废金属制作复杂而优雅的雕塑。)”可知，他是以利用废弃金属制作精美艺术品而出名的。故选D项。

推理判断题。根据文章第二段内容“Phiri’s father died when he was starting primary schl. Then his mther abandned him and he had t stay with his grandfather. His grandfather paid fr his schling thrugh primary schl but when he entered secndary schl, he had t get varius jbs t pay fr his fees. Yet even in schl, he was always drawing and making things in class.( 哈里里的父亲在他开始上小学的时候就去世了。然后他的母亲抛弃了他，他不得不和他的祖父住在一起。他的祖父供他上小学，但当他上中学时，他不得不找各种工作来支付学费。然而，即使在学校，他总是在课堂上画画和做东西。)”可知，小学时父亲去世，之后母亲遗弃了他，他只能和祖父生活在一起，中学后开始打工支付学费，因此可以推知，他的童年并不快乐。故选A项。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段末句以及末尾段内容：The cmmunity has recgnized his talents.“My dream is t earn enugh t study art at the Evelyn Hne Cllege in Lusaka and be able t make a living frm it,” Phiri said “and then t make very large sculptures.”(社区已经认识到了他的才能。“我的梦想是挣到足够的钱在卢萨卡的Evelyn Hne学院学习艺术，并以此谋生，”Phiri说，“然后制作非常大的雕塑。)可推知，他的才能得到认可，他对未来充满信心。故选B项。
【27题详解】

Whm shuld yu marry? Where shuld yu live? Hw shuld yu spend yur time? Fr centuries, peple have relied n their gut instincts (直觉) t figure ut the answers t these life-changing questins. Nw, thugh, there is a better way. We are living thrugh a data explsin, as vast amunts f infrmatin abut all aspects f human behavir have becme mre and mre accessible. We can use this big data t help determine the best curse t chart.
There has lng been verwhelming- and ften surprising- evidence that algrithms (算法) can be much better than peple at making difficult decisins. Researchers have cllected data n varius kinds f chices peple make, the infrmatin they base thse chices n, and hw things turn ut. They have fund, fr example, that a simple data-driven algrithm wuld have been better than judges at deciding whether a defendant shuld stay in jail (监狱) r be released; better than dctrs at deciding whether a patient shuld get a prcedure; and better than schl principals at deciding which teachers shuld be prmted.
The pwer f data analysis has been prved in the sprts and business wrlds, t. As made famus by the bk and mvie Mneyball, baseball teams fund that algrithms were better than scuts (物色优秀运动员的人) at picking players, and better than managers at picking strategies. In finance, the hedge fund (避险基金) Renaissance Technlgies dramatically defeated cmpetitrs by seeking ut patterns in stck market data and using them t infrm its investment strategy. Tech firms in Silicn Valley have fund that data frm experiments prvides better insights int hw t design their websites than designers culd.
These are the early days f the data revlutin in decisin-making. I am nt claiming that we can cmpletely utsurce (外包) ur lifestyle chices t algrithms, thugh we might get t that pint in the future. I am claiming instead that we can all dramatically imprve ur decisin-making by cnsulting evidence mined frm thusands r millins f peple wh faced dilemmas similar t urs. And we can d that nw.
28. What makes peple better at finding answers t life-changing questins?
A. Peple’s better gut instincts.B. Changed human behavir.
C. The mdern infrmatin era.D. Varius curses accessible.
29. Accrding t paragraph 2, algrithms might NOT defeat peple in ______.
A. curt rulingsB. jb prmtins
C. perative estimatinD. teaching practices
30. What can we learn frm paragraph 3?
A The plt f the mvie Mneyball is related t successful data analysis.
B. Scuts and managers are nt needed in successful baseball teams.
C. The hedge fund Renaissance Technlgies had sme financial prblems.
D. Tech firms in Silicn Valley mainly relied n data t design websites.
31. Which f the fllwing will the authr mst prbably agree with?
A. The mdern infrmatin era is mature enugh t take advantage f.
B. Peple shuld utsurce all the lifestyle chices t algrithms.
C. With big data peple can learn frm cuntless similar examples.
D. Face-t-face cnsultatin will be the majr trend in the future.
【答案】28. C 29. D 30. A 31. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。作者陈述并论证了自己的观点：我们应该拥抱大数据让它参与人生重大决定。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的“We are living thrugh a data explsin, as vast amunts f infrmatin abut all aspects f human behavir have becme mre and mre accessible. We can use this big data t help determine the best curse t chart. (我们正生活在一个数据爆炸的时代，关于人类行为各个方面的大量信息变得越来越容易获取。我们可以利用这些大数据来帮助确定绘制地图的最佳路线。)”可知。作者主要的观点是在信息时代利用大数据去帮助自己决定选择哪条路径。故选C项。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“They have fund, fr example, that a simple data-driven algrithm wuld have been better than judges at deciding whether a defendant shuld stay in jail (监狱) r be released; better than dctrs at deciding whether a patient shuld get a prcedure; and better than schl principals at deciding which teachers shuld be prmted. (例如，他们发现，一个简单的数据驱动算法在决定被告是应该留在监狱还是释放时，会比法官做得更好；在决定病人是否应该接受手术方面比医生做得更好；而且比学校校长更擅长决定哪些老师应该升职。)”可知，数据驱动的算法在这些方面表现更好：在法官决定被告人是该监禁还是释放方面；在医生决定病人是否该做手术方面；在学校校长决定哪些老师应该升职方面，在以上方面，算法都比人类做的好，由此可知，只有“教学实践”方面有可能不会打败人类。故选D项。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“The pwer f data analysis has been prved in the sprts and business wrlds, t. As made famus by the bk and mvie Mneyball, baseball teams fund that algrithms were better than scuts (物色优秀运动员的人) at picking players, and better than managers at picking strategies. (数据分析的力量在体育和商业领域也得到了证明。正如书和电影《点球成金》(Mneyball)所述，棒球队发现算法在挑选球员方面比球探好，在挑选策略方面比经理好。)”可知，在电影《点球成金》中，算法在挑选球员和挑选策略方面比人类要好，由此可知，电影“点球成金”中的情节与成功的数据分析有关系。故选A项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中的“I am claiming instead that we can all dramatically imprve ur decisin-making by cnsulting evidence mined frm thusands r millins f peple wh faced dilemmas similar t urs. And we can d that nw. (相反，我认为我们都可以通过咨询从成千上万与我们面临类似困境的人那里获得的证据来显著改善我们的决策。我们现在就能做到。)”可知，作者认为，在众多面临着类似的困境的人那里获取的数据，能极大地帮助人们的决策，所以作者应该赞成“我们可以运用大数据从类似的例子中学习”这一观点。故选C项。

We shuld simply ban the use f these pisns in urban areas, fllwing the example f France.” The Ryal Hrticultural Sciety, the UK’s leading gardening charity, said the use f pesticides and herbicides shuld be avided if pssible and they shuld nly be used, if ever, in small and targeted applicatins.
The research als fund that thse wh adpted wildlife-friendly practices such as planting native shrubs and flwers, r digging a wildlife pnd, saw mre birds than thse wh did nt. Cannelle Tassin de Mntaigu, a PhD researcher within the schl f life sciences and an authr f the study, said, “It’s encuraging t find that simple measures, such as planting native shrubs and trees and creating a pnd, tgether with aviding the use f pesticides, really make a measurable difference t the number f birds yu will see in yur garden.”

Scientists have urged peple t stp “spraying their gardens with pisns” (一项研究表明，使用杀虫剂的园丁正在导致英国鸣禽数量的减少。科学家敦促人们停止“向花园喷洒毒药”)”可知，杀虫剂的使用造成了鸣禽减少，科学家呼吁人们停止使用这些杀虫剂。由此推知，科学家呼吁的目的在于遏制这一趋势，阻止鸣禽数量减少，halt与stp意思相近，意为“阻止，制止”。故选A项。

【36题详解】
分析语篇可知，此处应为该段的主题句，根据第一段的最后一句“The biggest time regret, I think, is dwelling n (沉湎于) mistakes and shrtcmings. (我认为，人生最大的遗憾，就是沉湎于错误和缺点。)”可知，全篇文章是讨论沉溺于错误和缺点，结合第三段中的首句“I als missed t much fr fear f my wn shrtcmings. (我也因为害怕自己的缺点而错过了太多。)”可知，该段讨论的是沉溺于自己的缺点带来的问题，由此可知，此空处应讨论“沉溺于错误”的相关内容，G选项“Dwelling n mistakes wastes time and, wrse still, makes us mre likely t repeat mistakes. (总想着错误会浪费时间，更糟糕的是，会让我们更容易重复错误。)”讲述的内容为沉溺于自己的错误浪费了我们时间，甚至导致反复的犯错，且与空后“In a study, researchers asked subjects t spend mney during an imaginary trip t the mall. Befre “shpping”, sme subjects were asked t recall a past financial mistake. (在一项研究中，研究人员要求受试者在想象的购物中心之旅中花钱。在“购物”之前，一些研究对象被要求回忆过去的一次财务错误。)”的研究内容吻合。故选G项。
【37题详解】
根据空前的“Of curse, we dn’t want t skip ver ur mistakes r ignre them either. (当然，我们也不想跳过或忽略我们的错误。)”可知，没有人要逃避当前的错误，由此可知，设空处将提出应该怎么做，E选项“The gal is t learn smething frm them, and then release the failure. (我们的目标是从失败中吸取教训，然后释放失败。)”讲述的内容为我们要在错误中吸取教训，从而减少失败，与上文内容吻合。故选E项。
【38题详解】
根据主题句“I als missed t much fr fear f my shrtcmings. (我也因为害怕自己的缺点而错过了太多。)”可知，本段重点写“沉溺于缺点”，根据空后的“I wanted t travel after high schl, but I went t university clse t hme instead, because I was t shy t meet new peple and was afraid I culdn’t make it in anther city. (高中毕业后我想去旅游，但我去了离家近的大学，因为我太害羞了，不敢结识新朋友，害怕在另一个城市过不下去。)”可知，作者以自己的经历分析沉溺于缺点的相关内容，由此可知，此处应是提及作者之前的不正确的做法，D选项“Fr years, I stayed in a cmfrtable place, ding things I disliked. (多年来，我呆在一个舒适的地方，做着我不喜欢的事情。)”讲述的内容是作者自己的经历，与下文的内容吻合，且符合该段的主题。故选D项。
【39题详解】
根据空前的“After university, I wanted t be a writer, but I decided t find a mre stable, accessible jb instead, because that’s easier. (大学毕业后，我想成为一名作家，但我决定找一份更稳定、更容易找到的工作，因为那样更容易。)”可知，作者大学毕业后，作者做的事情不是自己想做的事情，而是相对更简单一些的事情，空后的“I decided t find wrk I actually enjyed, travel mre and live smewhere else. (我决定找一份我真正喜欢的工作，多旅行，住在别的地方。)”可知，作者决定要开始做自己真正喜欢的事情，与空前的内容完全不同，由此可知，设空处应为承上启下的作用，A选项“Eventually, I gt tired f this. (最终，我厌倦了这一切。)”中的eventually为关键词，将空前的内容过渡到空后内容，且其中的this指代的内容为空前作者以前的做法。故选A项。
【40题详解】
分析语篇可知，本段是总结段，根据空后的“S, never beat yurself up ver yur mistakes and shrtcmings. (所以，永远不要因为自己的错误和缺点而自责。)”可知，作者劝告人们不要在为自己的错误或者缺点而自责，此空处讲述的内容与空后的内容为因果关系，B选项“Regret is anther big waste f time. (后悔是另一种浪费时间的方式。)”讲述的是作者认为后悔是另外浪费时间的方式，与下文中作者对人们的劝告为因果关系，符合逻辑，内容吻合。故选B项。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要简要介绍了儒家经典《四书》中的《中庸》的历史和核心。
【56题详解】
考查谓语动词。句意：《中庸》是儒家经典，是《四书》的一部分。分析句子结构可知，此处为谓语动词，本句是客观对《中庸》的简介，结合本段应用的是一般现在时态，所以此处应使用一般现在时态，且主语The Zhngyng为第三人称单数。故填is。
【57题详解】
考查冠词。句意：它实际上是礼典《礼记》中的一章，是在宋朝从这本书中取出来的。分析句子结构可知，chapter为可数名词单数，在句中作表语，结合句意，此处意为“《礼记》中的一章”是泛指，所以使用不定冠词，且chapter的第一个音素为辅音。故填a。
【58题详解】
考查谓语动词。句意：它实际上是礼典《礼记》中的一章，是在宋朝从这本书中取出来的。分析句子结构可知，此处为谓语动词，根据时间状语“in the Sng perid”可知动作发生在过去，而主语是It，即The Zhngyng，与take构成动宾关系，所以要用一般过去时态的被动语态。故填was taken。
【59题详解】
考查词副词。句意：传统上认为是孔子的孙子子思。分析句子结构可知，此处为副词作状语修饰谓语动词，traditinal的副词为traditinally意为“传统上”符合句意。故填traditinally。
【60题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：正如现代作者所说，这篇文章似乎至少部分是在前汉时期编撰的。分析句子结构可知，此处为关系词引导的非限制性定语从句，从句中缺少say的宾语，所以使用关系代词，结合句意，此处表示“正如”，所以应使用关系代词as ，as mdern authrs say意为“正如现代作家所说的”。故填as。
【61题详解】
考查并列连词。句意：孔子所说的“中庸”，并不是指“妥协”，而是指理解和处理客观事物的“正道”。分析句子结构可知，此处为固定搭配“nt…but…”意为“不是……而是……”连接两个并列结构。故填but。
【62题详解】
考查介词。句意：这将导致行动的和谐，并最终形成一个和谐的社会。分析句子结构可知，此处为固定短语result in意为“造成，导致”符合句意。故填in。
【63题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：纯粹的和谐而不偏离中心音调，站在中心而不偏向一边，将保持所有社会地位的稳定。分析句子结构可知，此处为非谓语动词作主语，与“Pure harmny withut wandering frm the central tne”为并列主语，此处描述的是经常性动作，所以用stand动名词形式，结合句意，此处表示主动意义。故填standing。
【64题详解】
考查名词。句意：智慧、善良和勇气是中庸之道的三种美德，它们将使一切社会关系保持稳定。分析句子结构可知，此处为名词作主语，与 kind-heartedness and curage”是并列主语，所以要用wise的名词形式wisdm意为“智慧”，且为不可数名词。故填Wisdm。
【65题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：《中庸》的另一个重要方面是真诚。分析句子结构可知，此处为非谓语动词作定语，动词treat与所修饰的名词Anther imprtant aspect构成动宾关系，所以此处应使用过去分词形式。故填treated。

Frederick Phiri is the junk-art king f Zambia: at just 22, he started t earn an internatinal reputatin fr being able t make cmplex and elegant sculptures frm scrap (废弃的) metal fund in his cmmunity.
Phiri’s father died when he was starting primary schl. Then his mther abandned him and he had t stay with his grandfather. His grandfather paid fr his schling thrugh primary schl but when he entered secndary schl, he had t get varius jbs t pay fr his fees. Yet even in schl, he was always drawing and making things in class.
After graduating, he did what he culd t supprt himself by making animal sculptures frm wires and sld them t turists. His wrk was s ppular that it caught the eye f Karen Beattie, directr f Prject Luangwa, a nnprfit rganizatin dedicated t educatin and ecnmic develpment in central Africa.
“I intrduced him t a lcal welder (焊工),” Beattie tld Newsweek.
In 2017, Phiri wrked with welder Mses Mbewe during the rainy seasn, helping t make a cmplex set f drs fr Prject Luangwa. The piece sparked an idea in Beattie’s mind: “I handed him a bunch f scrap metal and said, ‘Make smething with this.’ And he did. It was wnderful.”
Tday, Phiri cntinues his art, using pieces f junk peple bring him—keys, brken bike chains, ld metal plugs and whatever scrap metal is lying arund. He then turns the junk int abstract animals—elephants, cranes, giraffes, chamelens—and sells them at Prject Luangwa headquarters. The cmmunity has recgnized his talents.
“My dream is t earn enugh t study art at the Evelyn Hne Cllege in Lusaka and be able t make a living frm it,” Phiri said “and then t make very large sculptures.”
24. What is Phiri knwn fr?
A. Serving his cmmunity.B. Cllecting wrks f art.
C. Being the king f Zambia.D. Turning trash int treasure.
25. What can we learn abut Phiri frm paragraph 2?
A. He had an unhappy childhd.B. He paid fr his primary schl.
C. He had t supprt his grandfather.D. He missed schl t d part-time jbs.
26. Hw des Phiri feel abut his future?
A. Uncertain.B. Cnfident.
C. Depressed.D. Satisfied.
27. What can be a suitable title fr the passage?
A. A Successful Path f Art.B. The Junk-art King f Zambia.
C. A Yung Man’s Wildest Dream.D. The Mdern Junk Wrks f Art.
【答案】24. D 25. A 26. B 27. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了非洲赞比亚的废品艺术之王Frederick Phiri的人生事迹，激励读者为了自己的梦想而努力。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段内容“Frederick Phiri is the junk-art king f Zambia: at just 22, he started t earn an internatinal reputatin fr being able t make cmplex and elegant sculptures frm scrap metal fund in his cmmunity.( Frederick Phiri是赞比亚的垃圾艺术之王:在他22岁的时候，他就开始在国际上享有声誉，因为他能够用在他的社区里发现的废金属制作复杂而优雅的雕塑。)”可知，他是以利用废弃金属制作精美艺术品而出名的。故选D项。

His grandfather paid fr his schling thrugh primary schl but when he entered secndary schl, he had t get varius jbs t pay fr his fees. Yet even in schl, he was always drawing and making things in class.( 哈里里的父亲在他开始上小学的时候就去世了。然后他的母亲抛弃了他，他不得不和他的祖父住在一起。他的祖父供他上小学，但当他上中学时，他不得不找各种工作来支付学费。然而，即使在学校，他总是在课堂上画画和做东西。)”可知，小学时父亲去世，之后母亲遗弃了他，他只能和祖父生活在一起，中学后开始打工支付学费，因此可以推知，他的童年并不快乐。故选A项。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段末句以及末尾段内容：The cmmunity has recgnized his talents.“My dream is t earn enugh t study art at the Evelyn Hne Cllege in Lusaka and be able t make a living frm it,” Phiri said “and then t make very large sculptures.”(社区已经认识到了他的才能。“我的梦想是挣到足够的钱在卢萨卡的Evelyn Hne学院学习艺术，并以此谋生，”Phiri说，“然后制作非常大的雕塑。)可推知，他的才能得到认可，他对未来充满信心。故选B项。

Whm shuld yu marry? Where shuld yu live? Hw shuld yu spend yur time? Fr centuries, peple have relied n their gut instincts (直觉) t figure ut the answers t these life-changing questins. Nw, thugh, there is a better way. We are living thrugh a data explsin, as vast amunts f infrmatin abut all aspects f human behavir have becme mre and mre accessible. We can use this big data t help determine the best curse t chart.
There has lng been verwhelming- and ften surprising- evidence that algrithms (算法) can be much better than peple at making difficult decisins. Researchers have cllected data n varius kinds f chices peple make, the infrmatin they base thse chices n, and hw things turn ut. They have fund, fr example, that a simple data-driven algrithm wuld have been better than judges at deciding whether a defendant shuld stay in jail (监狱) r be released; better than dctrs at deciding whether a patient shuld get a prcedure; and better than schl principals at deciding which teachers shuld be prmted.
The pwer f data analysis has been prved in the sprts and business wrlds, t. As made famus by the bk and mvie Mneyball, baseball teams fund that algrithms were better than scuts (物色优秀运动员的人) at picking players, and better than managers at picking strategies. In finance, the hedge fund (避险基金) Renaissance Technlgies dramatically defeated cmpetitrs by seeking ut patterns in stck market data and using them t infrm its investment strategy. Tech firms in Silicn Valley have fund that data frm experiments prvides better insights int hw t design their websites than designers culd.
These are the early days f the data revlutin in decisin-making. I am nt claiming that we can cmpletely utsurce (外包) ur lifestyle chices t algrithms, thugh we might get t that pint in the future. I am claiming instead that we can all dramatically imprve ur decisin-making by cnsulting evidence mined frm thusands r millins f peple wh faced dilemmas similar t urs. And we can d that nw.
28. What makes peple better at finding answers t life-changing questins?
A. Peple’s better gut instincts.B. Changed human behavir.
C. The mdern infrmatin era.D. Varius curses accessible.
29. Accrding t paragraph 2, algrithms might NOT defeat peple in ______.
A. curt rulingsB. jb prmtins
C. perative estimatinD. teaching practices
30. What can we learn frm paragraph 3?
A The plt f the mvie Mneyball is related t successful data analysis.
B. Scuts and managers are nt needed in successful baseball teams.
C. The hedge fund Renaissance Technlgies had sme financial prblems.
D. Tech firms in Silicn Valley mainly relied n data t design websites.
31. Which f the fllwing will the authr mst prbably agree with?
A. The mdern infrmatin era is mature enugh t take advantage f.
B. Peple shuld utsurce all the lifestyle chices t algrithms.

细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的“We are living thrugh a data explsin, as vast amunts f infrmatin abut all aspects f human behavir have becme mre and mre accessible. We can use this big data t help determine the best curse t chart. (我们正生活在一个数据爆炸的时代，关于人类行为各个方面的大量信息变得越来越容易获取。我们可以利用这些大数据来帮助确定绘制地图的最佳路线。)”可知。作者主要的观点是在信息时代利用大数据去帮助自己决定选择哪条路径。故选C项。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“They have fund, fr example, that a simple data-driven algrithm wuld have been better than judges at deciding whether a defendant shuld stay in jail (监狱) r be released; better than dctrs at deciding whether a patient shuld get a prcedure; and better than schl principals at deciding which teachers shuld be prmted. (例如，他们发现，一个简单的数据驱动算法在决定被告是应该留在监狱还是释放时，会比法官做得更好；在决定病人是否应该接受手术方面比医生做得更好；而且比学校校长更擅长决定哪些老师应该升职。)”可知，数据驱动的算法在这些方面表现更好：在法官决定被告人是该监禁还是释放方面；在医生决定病人是否该做手术方面；在学校校长决定哪些老师应该升职方面，在以上方面，算法都比人类做的好，由此可知，只有“教学实践”方面有可能不会打败人类。故选D项。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“The pwer f data analysis has been prved in the sprts and business wrlds, t. As made famus by the bk and mvie Mneyball, baseball teams fund that algrithms were better than scuts (物色优秀运动员的人) at picking players, and better than managers at picking strategies. (数据分析的力量在体育和商业领域也得到了证明。正如书和电影《点球成金》(Mneyball)所述，棒球队发现算法在挑选球员方面比球探好，在挑选策略方面比经理好。)”可知，在电影《点球成金》中，算法在挑选球员和挑选策略方面比人类要好，由此可知，电影“点球成金”中的情节与成功的数据分析有关系。故选A项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中的“I am claiming instead that we can all dramatically imprve ur decisin-making by cnsulting evidence mined frm thusands r millins f peple wh faced dilemmas similar t urs. And we can d that nw. (相反，我认为我们都可以通过咨询从成千上万与我们面临类似困境的人那里获得的证据来显著改善我们的决策。我们现在就能做到。)”可知，作者认为，在众多面临着类似的困境的人那里获取的数据，能极大地帮助人们的决策，所以作者应该赞成“我们可以运用大数据从类似的例子中学习”这一观点。故选C项。

Gardeners wh use pesticides are cntributing t the decline f British sngbirds, a study suggests. Scientists have urged peple t stp “spraying their gardens with pisns” in rder t halt bird decline and adpt instead wildlife-friendly practices. The results f the University f Sussex study, which researchers call the first f its kind, were published in the jurnal Science f the Ttal Envirnment.
The experiment, which surveyed 615 gardens in Britain, fund 25% fewer huse sparrws when glyphsate (草甘膦) was used regularly. This is an ingredient fund in cmmnly used herbicide (除草剂) brands such as Rundup r Gallup. Slug pellets (鼻涕虫杀虫剂) als seemed t have an impact n bird sightings; in gardens where Slug pellets were used, huse sparrw numbers were dwn by almst 40%.
Prf.

We just dn’t need pesticides in ur gardens. Many twns arund the wrld are nw pesticide free. We shuld simply ban the use f these pisns in urban areas, fllwing the example f France.” The Ryal Hrticultural Sciety, the UK’s leading gardening charity, said the use f pesticides and herbicides shuld be avided if pssible and they shuld nly be used, if ever, in small and targeted applicatins.
The research als fund that thse wh adpted wildlife-friendly practices such as planting native shrubs and flwers, r digging a wildlife pnd, saw mre birds than thse wh did nt. Cannelle Tassin de Mntaigu, a PhD researcher within the schl f life sciences and an authr f the study, said, “It’s encuraging t find that simple measures, such as planting native shrubs and trees and creating a pnd, tgether with aviding the use f pesticides, really make a measurable difference t the number f birds yu will see in yur garden.”
32. What des the underlined wrd “halt” in paragraph 1 mst prbably mean?

33. Why are the statistics mentined in paragraph 2?
A. T reveal the severe influence f pesticides n birds.
B. T cmpare the effects f tw kinds f pesticides.

Scientists have urged peple t stp “spraying their gardens with pisns” (一项研究表明，使用杀虫剂的园丁正在导致英国鸣禽数量的减少。科学家敦促人们停止“向花园喷洒毒药”)”可知，杀虫剂的使用造成了鸣禽减少，科学家呼吁人们停止使用这些杀虫剂。由此推知，科学家呼吁的目的在于遏制这一趋势，阻止鸣禽数量减少，halt与stp意思相近，意为“阻止，制止”。故选A项。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段内容“The experiment, which surveyed 615 gardens in Britain, fund 25% fewer huse sparrws when glyphsate (草甘膦) was used regularly.

(这项调查了英国615个花园的实验发现，定期使用草甘膦可以减少25%的家麻雀。这是一种在常用除草剂（如Rundup或Gallup）品牌中发现的成分。鼻涕虫杀虫剂似乎也对鸟类景观有影响；在使用鼻涕虫杀虫剂的花园中，麻雀的数量下降了近40%。)”可知，本段通过列数据说明了两种杀虫剂成分导致英国花园中的鸣禽数量大幅减少。由此推知，列出数据是为了证明第一段中研究者所做出的发现，即杀虫剂严重影响了英国的鸣禽。故选A项。

【36题详解】
分析语篇可知，此处应为该段的主题句，根据第一段的最后一句“The biggest time regret, I think, is dwelling n (沉湎于) mistakes and shrtcmings. (我认为，人生最大的遗憾，就是沉湎于错误和缺点。)”可知，全篇文章是讨论沉溺于错误和缺点，结合第三段中的首句“I als missed t much fr fear f my wn shrtcmings. (我也因为害怕自己的缺点而错过了太多。)”可知，该段讨论的是沉溺于自己的缺点带来的问题，由此可知，此空处应讨论“沉溺于错误”的相关内容，G选项“Dwelling n mistakes wastes time and, wrse still, makes us mre likely t repeat mistakes. (总想着错误会浪费时间，更糟糕的是，会让我们更容易重复错误。)”讲述的内容为沉溺于自己的错误浪费了我们时间，甚至导致反复的犯错，且与空后“In a study, researchers asked subjects t spend mney during an imaginary trip t the mall. Befre “shpping”, sme subjects were asked t recall a past financial mistake. (在一项研究中，研究人员要求受试者在想象的购物中心之旅中花钱。在“购物”之前，一些研究对象被要求回忆过去的一次财务错误。)”的研究内容吻合。故选G项。
【37题详解】
根据空前的“Of curse, we dn’t want t skip ver ur mistakes r ignre them either. (当然，我们也不想跳过或忽略我们的错误。)”可知，没有人要逃避当前的错误，由此可知，设空处将提出应该怎么做，E选项“The gal is t learn smething frm them, and then release the failure. (我们的目标是从失败中吸取教训，然后释放失败。)”讲述的内容为我们要在错误中吸取教训，从而减少失败，与上文内容吻合。故选E项。
【38题详解】
根据主题句“I als missed t much fr fear f my shrtcmings. (我也因为害怕自己的缺点而错过了太多。)”可知，本段重点写“沉溺于缺点”，根据空后的“I wanted t travel after high schl, but I went t university clse t hme instead, because I was t shy t meet new peple and was afraid I culdn’t make it in anther city. (高中毕业后我想去旅游，但我去了离家近的大学，因为我太害羞了，不敢结识新朋友，害怕在另一个城市过不下去。)”可知，作者以自己的经历分析沉溺于缺点的相关内容，由此可知，此处应是提及作者之前的不正确的做法，D选项“Fr years, I stayed in a cmfrtable place, ding things I disliked. (多年来，我呆在一个舒适的地方，做着我不喜欢的事情。)”讲述的内容是作者自己的经历，与下文的内容吻合，且符合该段的主题。故选D项。

根据空前的“After university, I wanted t be a writer, but I decided t find a mre stable, accessible jb instead, because that’s easier. (大学毕业后，我想成为一名作家，但我决定找一份更稳定、更容易找到的工作，因为那样更容易。)”可知，作者大学毕业后，作者做的事情不是自己想做的事情，而是相对更简单一些的事情，空后的“I decided t find wrk I actually enjyed, travel mre and live smewhere else. (我决定找一份我真正喜欢的工作，多旅行，住在别的地方。)”可知，作者决定要开始做自己真正喜欢的事情，与空前的内容完全不同，由此可知，设空处应为承上启下的作用，A选项“Eventually, I gt tired f this. (最终，我厌倦了这一切。)”中的eventually为关键词，将空前的内容过渡到空后内容，且其中的this指代的内容为空前作者以前的做法。故选A项。
【40题详解】
分析语篇可知，本段是总结段，根据空后的“S, never beat yurself up ver yur mistakes and shrtcmings. (所以，永远不要因为自己的错误和缺点而自责。)”可知，作者劝告人们不要在为自己的错误或者缺点而自责，此空处讲述的内容与空后的内容为因果关系，B选项“Regret is anther big waste f time. (后悔是另一种浪费时间的方式。)”讲述的是作者认为后悔是另外浪费时间的方式，与下文中作者对人们的劝告为因果关系，符合逻辑，内容吻合。故选B项。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要简要介绍了儒家经典《四书》中的《中庸》的历史和核心。
【56题详解】
考查谓语动词。句意：《中庸》是儒家经典，是《四书》的一部分。分析句子结构可知，此处为谓语动词，本句是客观对《中庸》的简介，结合本段应用的是一般现在时态，所以此处应使用一般现在时态，且主语The Zhngyng为第三人称单数。故填is。
【57题详解】
考查冠词。句意：它实际上是礼典《礼记》中的一章，是在宋朝从这本书中取出来的。分析句子结构可知，chapter为可数名词单数，在句中作表语，结合句意，此处意为“《礼记》中的一章”是泛指，所以使用不定冠词，且chapter的第一个音素为辅音。故填a。
【58题详解】
考查谓语动词。句意：它实际上是礼典《礼记》中的一章，是在宋朝从这本书中取出来的。分析句子结构可知，此处为谓语动词，根据时间状语“in the Sng perid”可知动作发生在过去，而主语是It，即The Zhngyng，与take构成动宾关系，所以要用一般过去时态的被动语态。故填was taken。
【59题详解】
考查词副词。句意：传统上认为是孔子的孙子子思。分析句子结构可知，此处为副词作状语修饰谓语动词，traditinal的副词为traditinally意为“传统上”符合句意。故填traditinally。
【60题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：正如现代作者所说，这篇文章似乎至少部分是在前汉时期编撰的。分析句子结构可知，此处为关系词引导的非限制性定语从句，从句中缺少say的宾语，所以使用关系代词，结合句意，此处表示“正如”，所以应使用关系代词as ，as mdern authrs say意为“正如现代作家所说的”。故填as。
【61题详解】
考查并列连词。句意：孔子所说的“中庸”，并不是指“妥协”，而是指理解和处理客观事物的“正道”。分析句子结构可知，此处为固定搭配“nt…but…”意为“不是……而是……”连接两个并列结构。故填but。
【62题详解】
考查介词。句意：这将导致行动的和谐，并最终形成一个和谐的社会。分析句子结构可知，此处为固定短语result in意为“造成，导致”符合句意。故填in。
【63题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：纯粹的和谐而不偏离中心音调，站在中心而不偏向一边，将保持所有社会地位的稳定。分析句子结构可知，此处为非谓语动词作主语，与“Pure harmny withut wandering frm the central tne”为并列主语，此处描述的是经常性动作，所以用stand动名词形式，结合句意，此处表示主动意义。故填standing。
【64题详解】
考查名词。句意：智慧、善良和勇气是中庸之道的三种美德，它们将使一切社会关系保持稳定。分析句子结构可知，此处为名词作主语，与 kind-heartedness and curage”是并列主语，所以要用wise的名词形式wisdm意为“智慧”，且为不可数名词。故填Wisdm。
【65题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：《中庸》的另一个重要方面是真诚。分析句子结构可知，此处为非谓语动词作定语，动词treat与所修饰的名词Anther imprtant aspect构成动宾关系，所以此处应使用过去分词形式。故填treated。

①由第一段首句内容“我好奇地看了一眼小男孩的眼睛，然后惊呆了。”可知，第一段可描写作者发现小男孩看不见后的感受，以及接下来作者的做法。
②由第二段首句内容“我心想，‘我一定要做出改变。’”可知，第二段可描写作者意识到自己的问题，以及作者从小男孩身上得到的启示。
2. 续写线索：震惊——内心感受——做法——想做出改变——意识到问题——启示
