11、第二部分 阅读理解(满分40分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。21(6分)Is dark chocolate healthy? Yes, dark chocolate has compounds (化合物)that offer health benefits and can be enjoyed without guilt, even on a daily basis. But the amount matters, since too many bites can contribute to extra fat, sugar and calories an
12、d get rid of its health benefits.Dark chocolate is rich in cocoa, which contains compounds known as flavanols(黄烷醇). At high levels, cocoa flavanols have been shown to help lower blood pressure and the risk of diabetes. Dark chocolate has the highest amount of cocoa flavanols: milk chocolate has lens
13、, and white chocolate has none.But while cocoa flavanols in dark chocolate make it a healthful treat, they give it a biter flavor. Producers may process chocolate to make it more delicious, but doing so can remove some of these beneficial compounds, said Matt Hartings, an American professor. In spit
14、e of this, dark chocolate is still a healthier choice than milk chocolate, which tends to have more sugar. Additionally, cocoa powder contains minerals. So you can enjoy a piece of dark chocolate even after a meal. Just keep the following in mind.First , buy chocolate that has at least 60% cocoa. “G
15、enerally speaking, the higher the percentage, the more flavanols. These higher-percentage chocolates have the added benefit over the lower percentages and milk and white chocolates because they contain less sugar and less fat,” Hartings said,Second, if possible, choose natural cocoa over Dutch proce
16、ssed cocoa, which is treated with an alkali (碱). This gives chocolate a milder flavor but removes healthful flavanols.And finally, to keep weight in check, limit to 30 grams of dark chocolate daily, or about 150 calories,1、Dark chocolate is healthy mainly because of the existence of .Arich mineralsB
17、less sugarCcocoa flavanolsDfewer calories2、What does the underlined word “treat”in Paragraph 3 mean?ASomething enjoyable.BA salt-free diet.CFood paid by others.DA cure for an illness.3、What can we learn from the text?ACocoa flavanols leads to high blood pressure.BWhite chocolate is good for health.C
18、One can feel free to eat dark chocolate.DAlkali can affect flavanols content.4、Whats the authors purpose in writing the text?ATo show his love for dark chocolate.BTo promote the sales of chocolate.CTo provide facts about dark chocolate.DTo make a distinction among chocolates.22(8分)Here is a record o
19、f the discussion about AI (artificial intelligence) conducted by several scientists:Scientist A: I would say that we are quite a long way off developing the AI, though I do think it will happen within the next thirty or forty years. We will probably remain in control of technology and it will help u
20、s solve many of the worlds problems. However, no one really knows what will happen if machines become more intelligent than humans. They may help us, ignore us or destroy us. I tend to believe AI will have a positive influence on our future lives, but whether that is true will be partly up to us.Sci
21、entist B: I have to admit that the potential consequences of creating something that can match or go beyond human intelligence frighten me. Even now, scientists are teaching computers how to learn on their own. At some point in the near future, their intelligence may well take off and develop at an
22、ever-increasing speed. Human beings evolve biologically very slowly and we would be quickly substituted. In the short term, there is the danger that robots will take over millions of human jobs, creating a large underclass of unemployed people. This could mean large-scale poverty and social unrest.
23、In the long term machines might decide the world would be better without humans.Scientist C: Im a member of the Campaign to Stop Killer Robots. Forget the movie image of a terrifying Terminator stamping on human skulls and think of whats happening right now: military machines like drones, gun turret
24、s and sentry robots are already being used to kill with very little human input. The next step will be autonomous “murderbots” following orders but finally deciding who to kill on their own. It seems clear to me that this would be extremely dangerous for humans. We need to be very cautious indeed ab
25、out what we ask machines to do.1、What is Scientist B worried about?AAI technology will destroy the earth. BRobots will take the place of humans.CComputers cant think by themselves. DHumans will be unhappy without machines.2、What does the underlined word “this” in the last paragraph refer to?AI launc
26、hed the campaign to Stop Killer Robots.BWe forget the movie image of a terrifying Terminator.C“Murderbots” will be against humans orders.D“Murderbots” cant decide by themselves.3、Which statement is CORRECT according to the record?AThe employment will be affected by AI technology in the future.BScien

28、st B DScientists B & A23(8分) When Huang Lizhi took her first class in African sociology at the University of the Witwatersrand in South Africa in February, her professor asked her and her classmates what impresses them most when it comes to Africa.Unexpectedly, Huang, 31, found that words like “pove
29、rty” and “safari” negative words that were often associated with the continent in media reports were the kind of terms her African classmates didnt want to hear. Instead, they preferred to hear the question answered in this way: “Africa is the cradle of humankind” and “Africans are passionate and ge
30、nerous”.Apparently, there are some misunderstandings between us. Its true that with incidents like the Ebola outbreak in Western Africa and the emergence (出现) of pirates off the coast of Somalia hitting the news, its easy for us to keep forgetting that Africa has one of the worlds oldest civilizatio
31、ns Egypt, born by the worlds longest river, the Nile. The proof is in the Great Pyramid of Giza and the Great Sphinx of Giza, which are both popular among tourists. And the tombs of ancient Egypt have also become endless sources for the literature and film industries.When it comes to the natural env
32、ironment of Africa, our misunderstandings are only bigger. But the truth is that instead of being extremely hot all year and covered by desert, the continent has large areas of savannas (稀树草原) where lions, giraffes and zebras live, the snowcapped Kilimanjaro the highest mountain in Africa and even t
33、hick forest on the island of Madagascar.These misunderstandings are one of the reasons why the 2018 Beijing Summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation was held on Sept 3 and 4 to understand each other better.Indeed, only by visiting Africa herself did Huang see the convenient living conditions,
34、 the amazing natural beauty and the friendly people.In her eyes, her classmates were as hopeful about the future of their own countries as they were about Africa as a whole, and they were quick to demonstrate both their strong will and activity. “At that moment, I knew exactly what they wanted they
35、wanted their culture to be respected.”1、Which of the following best explains “cradle ” underlined in paragraph 2?AA small bed for babies.BA basket to hold something.CA place for people to relax themselves.DA place where something important began.2、What can we infer about Africa according to the pass
36、age ?AIt is very hot all the year round.BIts not a safe continent to live inCIts different from what we imagine.DIt is bound to have a bright future3、Which of the following would Huang agree with ?ATo see is to believeBThink twice before you doCA miss is as good as a mileDDont judge a person by his
37、appearance4、What can be a suitable title for the text?AValuing a Culture.BUnderstanding Africa.CPaying a Visit to Africa.DDiscovering a Continent.24(8分)As any plane passenger will confirm, a crying baby is almost impossible to ignore, no matter how hard you try. Now scientists believe they may have
38、worked out why. A babys cry pulls at the heartstrings(扣人心弦)in a way while other cries dont, researchers found.Researchers found that a babys cry can trigger unique emotional responses in the brain, making it impossible for us to ignore themwhether we are parents or not. Other types of cries, includi
39、ng calls of animals in great pain, fail to get the same responsesuggesting the brain is programmed to respond specifically to a babys cry.A team of Oxford University scientists scanned the brains of 28 men and women as they listened to a variety of calls and cries. After 100 milliseconds - roughly t
40、he time it takes to blink (眨眼) two parts of the brain that respond to emotion lit up. Their response to a babys cry was particularly strong. The response was seen in both men and womeneven if they had no children.Researcher Dr Christine Parsons said, “You might read that men should just notice a bab
41、y and step over it and not see it, but its not true. There is a special processing in men and women, which makes sense from an evolutionary(演化的)view that both men and women would be responding to these cries.” The study was in people who were not parents, yet they are all responding at 100ms to thes
42、e particular cries, so this might be a fundamental response present in all of us regardless of parental status.Fellow researcher Katie Young said it may take a bit longer for someone to recognize their own childs cries because they need to do more “fine-grained analysis”. The team had previously fou
43、nd that our reactions speed up when we hear a baby crying. Adults performed better on computer games when they heard the sound of a baby crying than after they heard recordings of adults crying.1、A babys cry is difficult to ignore because it .Akeeps on crying Bcries harder than adultsCcauses people
44、great pain Dmakes people feel strong emotions2、The underlined word “trigger” in Paragraph 2 probably means “ ”Aremove BavoidCcause Dcure3、What may Christine Parsons agree to?AAlmost everyone makes certain response to a babys cry.BA crying baby makes no sense to people without children.CMen pay less
45、attention to a crying baby than women.DParents can hardly recognize their own babies cries.4、Whats the main idea of the text?AWhy you cant get a babys cry out of your head.BHow to recognize different babies cries.CWhy a baby is easy and likely to cry.DHow to prevent a baby crying.25(10分) Since App S
46、tore was set up, it has been selling consumers one simple thing choice. Whether you wanted to play games, read the news, or do a thousand other things, there was something for whatever you desired.Then something funny happened. Logging into the App Store today is like going into a shopping mall with
47、 only a coupon(优惠券) for one thing: Theres so much choice; it might be easier to give up than to choose.It isnt consumers who are burdened, though. Too much content of all kinds also has economic effects. When countless choices are available, it causes pressure, pushing prices down and driving us a b
48、it crazy.So what is the way forward? It may well be to turn less choice itself to the marketing strategy. There are already signs that this is happening. Firstly content companies are looking to prevent their offerings from getting lost in the tons of stuff. Most obvious is Disney, which is planning
49、 to open its own streaming service next year. The point is to narrow the focus so that those seeking Disney cartoons will have one place to go, rather than being around various services.Yet if that represents a careful first step, there are more extreme options too. Consider the idea of a wine club:
50、 from tens of thousands of bottles each year, subscribers pay someone to select the most interesting ones. Perhaps what comes next for digital content is similar-carefully selected offerings from trusted sources that put choices in the hands of someone else in order to get rid of the anxiety of choo
51、sing.Up to now, too much choice in digital media has only one solution: the algorithm(运算法则) But we ve seen the trouble with algorithms on You Tube They feed you only what youve already said you like, not things you may not know you re into. Worse, they have a tendency to serve up disturbing content
52、he way forward cant simply be more or better algorithms.Instead, its time for digital companies to start thinking about how to put limits on things: on how much we can use a device, or what we are available to choose from.As we move further into the digital revolution, what people ask for is clear:
53、Less.1、What will too much choice of content on the market result in?AThe shutdown of companies BThe anxiety of consumersCThe poor quality of products DThe slowdown of economy2、Which of the following statements is TRUE according to Paragraphs 4 and 5?AContent companies should withdraw their offerings
54、 onlineBContent companies should post their offerings on App StoreCContent companies adopt different methods to narrow the consumers focusDContent companies open their own streaming services on You Tube3、How do algorithms probably respond to consumers needs?AThey make a better choice for them BThey
55、help to remove disturbing contentCThey change their interest in digital media DThey fail to offer what they possibly like4、What is the authors attitude towards limiting the choice consumers haveAApproving.
