11、, when his riding partner, Chris Dixon, stopped suddenly. Something in the distance moving among the trees had caught her attention. It turned out to be a sandy-colored five-month-old puppy.“He was really thin, ribs showing, and a broken leg,” Little told John Parks, a reporter from CBS News. The cy

12、clists fed the friendly pup and shared their water. They also quickly realized that the dog was coming with them, although they had no idea how. They were more than seven miles from downtown and riding bikes. “We couldnt leave him,” Little said. “Out there next to the Oxbow Meadows, he was going to

13、become the lunch of an alligator living in the river.”Suddenly, Little had an idea. He carefully picked up his new friend and slipped the 38-pound dogs hind legs（后肢） into the back pockets of his cycling jacket. Then he hung the dogs front paws over his shoulders.“He was injured, so he wasnt trying t

14、o fight,” Little says. “He was also happy that we were there, touching him, and hadnt taken off on him.”The groups 30-minute ride into town ended at a bike store, where they got more water and food for the dog. That was when Andrea Shaw, an accountant from Maine in town on business, happened by. The

15、 dog made a headed straight for her, licking and “loving on her,” says Dixon. Shaw was struck and, after learning what had happened, declared her intentions: “I am keeping this dog.”Shaw called him Columbo and scheduled an operation on his leg. Today, Columbo is living the high life on a farm with a

16、 horse, a pony, a six-year-old boy, to keep him company. As Dixon told John Parks, “He is literally the luckiest dog alive.”1、Why did Little say they couldnt leave the dog behind?AIt was friendly and cute.BIt followed them closely.CIt had to be taken to hospital at once.DIt might fall victim to othe

17、r animals.2、How did Little manage to get the dog together with them?ABy carrying it in his pockets.BBy placing it on the bike.CBy shouldering it on his back.DBy taking it away with him.3、Who will accept the dog as a pet?AJarrett little.BChris Dixon.CAndrea Shaw.DJohn Parks.4、What word can we use to

18、describe the dogs present life?ADifficult.BAdmirable.CPitiful.DMiserable.22（8分） Babies have an astonishing talent that adults entirely lose. By the age of one, they can recognise the significant noises around them and group them into a language. When we have lost this capacity as adults, it becomes

19、enormously difficult to distinguish between sounds that are glaringly different to a native speaker. It all sounds Greek to us. This is because the range of possible sounds that humans use to convey meaning may be as high as 2,000, but few languages use more than 100 and even then the significant no

20、isesthe phonemes (音素) of a languageeach cover a range of sounds and so vague distinctions which would change the meaning of a word in other languages.But where do these phonemes come from and why do they shift over time? New research suggests that the apparently arbitrary distribution of some sounds

21、 around the world may be partially explained by diet. This is unexpected. Wed rather think of language as product of our thought, rather than of the arrangement of our teeth. In reality, though, any given language must be both.Hunter gatherer languages very seldom use the sounds known as labiodental

22、s (唇齿音)those such as f and vthat are made by touching the lower lip with the upper teeth. Only two of the hundreds of Australian aboriginal languages use them, for example. But in cultures that have discovered farming, these consonants (辅音) are much more common. The argument goes that farmers eat mo

23、re cooked food and more dairy than hunter gatherers. Either way, they need to chew mush less, and to bite less with their front teeth. So farmers grew up with smaller lower jaws and more of an overbite than their ancestors who had to bite through harder foods. It became easier for them to make the l

24、abiodental consonants instead of purely labial (唇音) ones: one example is that f come to take the place of p. Romans said “pater” but English speakers (unless theyre ReesMoggs) say “father”.Beyond these particular changes, the story highlights the way in which everything distinctively human is both m

25、aterial and spiritual: speech must combine sound and meaning, and the meaning can t exist or be transmitted without a real object. But neither can it be reduced to the purely physical, as our inability to understand or even to recognise foreign languages makes clear. The food we eat shapes our jaws,

26、 and our jaws in turn shape the sounds of our language. The ease with which we eat probably shapes our thought too, as anyone who has suffered toothache could testify. What we eat may have shaped the sounds of our language, but how we eat changes how we feel and what we use language to express. A fa

27、mily meal is very different from a sandwich at the office desk, even if the calorie is the same. Food has purposes and meanings far beyond keeping us alive and pleasing the Palate (味觉).1、Compared with adults, babies could more easily .Acreate significant noisesBclassify the forms of noisesCunderstan

28、d the Greek languageDdistinguish meaningful sounds2、According to the passage, which of the following factors help shape language?ALips and teeth.BJobs and habits.CAge and regions.DFood and thinking.3、The reason for farmers making sounds of “f” and “v” is .Aenjoying more cooked foodsBbiting more with

29、 front teethCconstantly chewing harder foodsDgrowing up with lager lower jaws4、By writing this passage, the author intends to reveal .Ajaws help shape our thoughtBfood determines our thoughtCdiet has some influence on languageDlanguage consists of sound and meaning23（8分）Researchers say they have dev

30、eloped technology that could predict heart attacks years before they happen. They report using mathematical systems to examine CT images of a patients heart. A CT scan uses X-rays and a computer to make detailed pictures of bones, organs and other tissue inside the body.The new method was developed

31、by researchers at the University of Oxford in England. A report on their study was published in the medical journal The Lancet. Also taking part in the study were teams from Germany and the US.Most heart attacks result from a build-up of fatty tissue inside arteries（动脉）that carry blood from the hear

32、t to other areas of the body, thus blocking this flow of blood and causing a heart attack.Currently, doctors use CT scans to learn when a sticky substance called plaque has already built up inside an artery. The new technology is designed to predict which arteries are at risk for future buildup.The

33、researchers reported using computers to examine CT scans to measure how much fat is present around heart arteries. That fat changes when an artery becomes affected, serving as an early warning system for heart attacks.Charalambos, a professor at Oxford University, said he believes the research shows

34、 this method could be very effective in getting patients to take early steps to prevent future problems, adding that researchers had yet to estimate exactly how many heart attacks could be prevented. But he said he believes the technique could help identify between 20 to 30 percent of people at risk

35、 of having one.He added that the new technology will make such predictions easier because it works together with existing CT technology. The research was based on two large, independent studies of 4,000 patients in Germany, and the US. A company with ties to Oxford University is developing a service

36、 to examine CT scans of patients around the world, Reuters reported.1、Whats the aim of the new technology?ATo predict ways to block fatty issues in heart arteries.BTo provide detailed pictures of how arteries work.CTo build computer models of the image of a heart.DTo decide which arteries are likely

37、 to have fat built up.2、When does a heart attack generally happen according to the text?AWhen the CT scan affects the flow of blood in the heart.BWhen fat around heart arteries blocks the flow of blood.CWhen a sticky material flows into an artery near the heart.DWhen bones and organs of the body beg

38、in to be weak.3、What is an early warning for heart attacks?AA change of fat happening around heart arteries.BThe finding of a sticky material in the blood.CThe presence of fat around the bones and organs.DThe aging and failure of arteries near the heart.4、Whats the main idea of the text?AThe harm of

39、 fat build-up to heart arteries.BThe use of CT scans to prevent of heart attacks.CResearch into the early warning of heart attacks.DThe warning the body gives about heart attacks.24（8分） Madame Marie Curie famously won two Nobel Prizes, but many other women have also been awarded the prize, too. Here

40、 are their stories.Selma LagerlofSelma Lagerlof was a Swedish author and teacher. She published her first novel, Gosta Berlings Saga, at the age of 33. She was the first female writer to win the Nobel Prize in Literature which she was awarded in 1909. Additionally, she was the first female to be gra

41、nted membership in the Swedish Academy.Gerty Theresa CoriGerty and her husband, Carl Cori, met in Prague and lived in Austria before immigrating to the United States in 1922, where the two medical doctors worked together at Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center in New York. In 1947, Gerty and Car

From there, she moved on to Los Alamos National Laboratory, then to Argonne National Laboratory, where Goepper

43、t-Mayer developed the nuclear shell model. For this, she shared the 1963 Nobel Prize in Physics with J. Hans DJensen and Eugene Paul Wigner.Dorothy Crowfoot HodgkinDorothy Hodgkins mother encouraged her love of science as a child, and at age 18, she began studying chemistry at a women-only Oxford co

46、artificial(人工的) intelligence news anchor at Xinhua News Agency on Sunday, three months after a male robot joined the profession.Unlike previous news robots though, Xin does not read news like a cold machine; she reads it almost like a human being. The muscles on her face stretch and relax-and her re

47、actions change-as she continues reading. Thats why many news anchors were worried: Will AI replace us in the near future?To find the answer, we have to analyse the technologies that support Xin at her job. Three key technologies are used to support Xin. First, samples of human voices are collected a

48、nd synthesized (合成). This is followed by the collection and synthesis of human muscle movement samples. And third the voices and movements are married in a way that when the Al news anchor reads, the micro -electric motors behind her face move to make her expressions seem more human.Yet we need a th

49、orough knowledge of deep leaning technology to make a robot imitate a persons voice. The developer needs to collect tens of thousands of pieces of pronunciations, input them Into the machine and match them with the text or the Al to lean and read. The process for imitating facial movements is simila

50、r. The developer has to analyse the movements of the 53 muscles in the human face, make a model set from the collected data for the AI news anchor to lean, and imitate the movements of facial muscles via programsBoth the technologies used to make Xins performance impressive are mature. The real diff

51、iculty lies in the third -the technology to match the pronunciations with facial movements so that Xin expressions vary according to the content of the news report. In fact, Xins expressions don t always change according to the content. As a result, her expressions look anything but human. Actually.

52、 AI is still no match for human qualities.1、What does the underlined word reluctant in the first paragraph mean?ADelighted.BUnwilling.CConfused.DOptimistic.2、What can we infer about previous news robots?AThey read news without expressions.BThey looked like a human beingCThey could interview sports s

53、tarsDThey could interact with audience.3、What do we know about the third technology?AThis technology is very perfect so farBThis technology is quite popular nowCThis technology remains at the theoretical stageDThis technology is far from mature.4、From the last paragraph, we can draw a conclusion tha

54、t_.Ahuman news anchors should learn from AT anchors to save their jobsBAl anchors perform much better than human news anchors at presentCAl news anchors won t replace human news anchors in the near futureDXin Xiaomeng s expressions vary so naturally that they are true to life第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节）第一节（每小题1
