【语篇导读】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲的是由于美国几乎所有的大雇主都在招聘过程中使用人工智能

和自动化，公众正在考虑一些紧迫的问题：当机器保持歧视时，如何防止招聘时的歧视以及

什么方法会有所帮助。

24.【答案】A

【解析】细节理解题。根据文章笫二段"Shesaideveryoneneedstospeakuponthedebateoverthese

technologies.C€Therisksaresimplytoohightoleavethistopicjusttotheexperts."（她说，每个人都需

要就有关这些技术的辩论进行公开发言。“风险实在是太高了，不能把这个问题只留给专家们"）”

可知Burrows建议人们就有关这些技术的辩论进行公开发言，即Burrows建议人们让人听到他

们自己的声音，故选A项。

25.【答案】D

【解析】细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Theagencyfoundthatresume（简历）scannersthatprioritizekeywords

andprogramsthatevaluateacandidate'sfacialexpressionsandspeechpatternsinvideointerviews

cancreatediscrimination.Take,forexample,*avideointerviewthatanalyzesanapplicant'sspeech

定他们解决问题的能力）''可知视频采访中的程序通过分析申请人的语言模式来选择员工，故选

D项。

26.【答案】B

【解析】推理判断题。根据文章第四段"It'sagreedthatinspectionsarenecessarytoensurethatthesoftware

usedbycompaniesavoidsintentionalorunintentionaldiscrimination.Butwhowouldconductthose

但谁来进行这些检查则是一个更具挑战性的问题。Burrows指出，每一种选择都存在风险。第

三方可能会对其客户视而不见，而政府主导的检查也可能会阻止创新）”可知第三方会对客户视

而不见，所以可以推测第三方的检查结果可能会带来不公平的结果，故选B项。

27.【答案】C

【解析】推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Inpreviousremarks.BurrowshasnotedthegreatpotentialthatAI

【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了作者安置一只老龄狗的故事。

28.【答案】D

【解析】主旨大意题。根据第二段“Thefamilywhohadgivenheratemporaryhomehadchildrenandother

dogsandwasunabletogiveheraforeverhome.WhenSpeakSt,Louis,therescueteamIworkwith,

wascontactedaboutthedog,theyofferedtotakeherin.Shewenttoavet（兽医）forabasichealth

子和其他狗，无法给她一个永远的家.当与我一起工作的救援队SpeakSt,Louis联系到这只狗

的情况时，他们表示愿意收留它。她去兽医那里做了基本的健康检查。但是兽医并没有什么好

消息。她的嘴因各种问题而肿起来，清洁时掉了两颗牙，又拔了十一颗）”可知，当Magdalen

需要一个临时的家的时候，这家人给了它一个家，但是他们有孩子和其它狗狗，他们不能给它

一个永远的家，Magdalen也老了，病了。由此可知，本段主要介绍了Magdalen遇到的问题，

故选D。

29.【答案】C

【解析】细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Lastweekend,myhusbandandIdroveadogtohernewhome.

Typically,whenwehaveanewdoginthebackseat,ifsayoungdog.（上周末，我和丈夫开车送一只

狗去她的新家。通常情况下，当后座上有一只新狗时，它是一只年轻的狗丫'和下文作者找兽医

为Magdalen治病，并最终为Magdalen找到收养者可知,作者的工作是为狗狗找新家，故选C。

30.【答案】A

【解析】细节理解题。根据第三段“Luckily,agoodfriendofmine,adogtrainerwithasoftheartforseniors,

hadagreedtoadoptMagdalen.Onthetriptothetrainer'shome,thesweetseniorlookedsorelaxedin

ourbackseat.Ifeltagreatsenseofreliefandpleasure.（幸运的是，我的一、个好朋友，一个对老狗狗

心肠很软的驯狗师，同意收养Magdalen。在去驯狗师家的路上，这位可爱的老狗狗坐在我们的

后座上，看起来很放松。我感到一种巨大的宽慰和愉悦）”可知，年迈的Magdalen虽然被原来的

主人抛弃了，但作者的一个关心老狗狗的好朋友答应收养它，她在开车送Magdalen去朋友家

的路上是感到欣慰和开心的，故选A。

31.【答案】A

【解析】推理判断题。根据最后一段“Herownerneededsometemporaryhelpwhenhewassick.ButIcan't

imaginewhyhewouldn'thavewantedherback.Ithinkofmyowndoganddogswelosttooldagein

thepast.We'refamilyandwestaythatwayforever.She'dbeabletoliveagoodlife.Ihoped,inher

了我自己的狗和我们过去失去的狗。我们是一家人，永远是一家人。她会过上好H子的。我希

望，在她的新家！)“可知，Magdalen原来的主人生病时，他需要一些临时帮助，但是当他康复

后却不想要它回去了。作者想起了自己的狗和在过去因年老而失去的狗。作者认为他们是一家

人，永远都是这样。由此推知，作者无法理解Magdalen的主人的行为，故选A。

D

【语篇导读】这是一篇议论文。作者认为很多工作会议是在浪费时间，影响工作效率。关于会议的研窕表

明，如果你想在工作中更快乐或想让你的员工更快乐，你应该利用一切机会反对耗时、低效

的会议。

32.【答案】B

【解析】推理判断题。根据第一段“Manypeoplethinkworkmeetingsareawasteoftime,andthatmightbe

becausemostmeetingskeepemployeesfromworkingwell.Onesurveyof76companiesfoundthat

productivitywas71percenthigherwhenmeetingswerereducedby40percent.Unnecessary

meetingswaste$37billioninsalaryhoursayearintheU.S.alone.（许多人认为工作会议是浪费时间,

这可能是因为大多数会议会影响员工的工作。一项对76家公司的调查发现，当会议减少40%

时，工作效率会提高71%。仅在美国，不必要的会议每年就浪费370亿美元的付薪时间）”可推

断，作者是用这个调查数据去引出并支持文章的主题句：Manypeoplethinkworkmeetingsarea

wasteoftime,andthatmightbebecausemostmeetingskeepemployeesfromworkingwell,故选B

项。

33.【答案】D

【解析】词义猜测题。根据划线词上一句“Whenmeetingsareawasteoftime,jobsatisfactiondeclines.And

whenjobsatisfactiondeclines,happinessingeneralfalls.（当会议被视为浪费时间时，工作满意度就

会下降。当工作满意度下降时，幸福感也普遍下降）“可知，浪费时间的工作会议会降低员工的

工作满足感，从而又降低了幸福感，工作时心情不好，工作效率也会降低。结合下一句"...orat

leastminimizingthem—isoneofthemoststraightforwardwaystoincreasewell-being.（或者至少把

会议减到最少——是提高幸福感最直接的方法之一由此推断，“eliminating”应该是“取消，

避免"，浪费时间没什么意义的工作会议就别开了。与“avoiding”意思相近，故选D项。

34.【答案】C

【解析】主旨大意题。根据第四段首句“Nobodylikesexcessiveandunproductivemeetings.（没有人喜欢过

多和没有成效的会议）“可知人们不喜欢过多的低效的会议，下文“First,theygenerallyincrease

fatigue.Youhaveprobablyexperiencedadayofmeetings,afterwhichyouareexhaustedandhaven't

accomplishedmuch.Second,peopletendtoengagein"surfaceacting”（伪kingemotionsthatare

deemedappropriate）duringworkmeetings.Finally,researchershavefoundthatthestrongest

predictorofmeetingeffectivenessisactiveinvolvementbytheparticipants4首先，它们通常会增力口

疲劳。你可能经历过一天的会议，会议结束后你筋疲力尽，没有完成多少。其次，人们在工作

会议上倾向于“表面表现”（假装被认为合适的情绪）。最后，研究人员发现，会议有效性的最强

预测因素是参与者的积极参与）''介绍了三个原因解释这样的会议会降低工作满足感，所以本段

主要讲的是为什么过多和低效的会议会降低工作满意度，故选C项。

35.【答案】B

【解析】主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第一段“Manypeoplethinkworkmeetingsareawasteoftime,andthat

mightbebecausemostmeetingskeepemployeesfromworkingwell.（许多人认为工作会议是浪费

时间，这可能是因为大多数会议会影响员工的工作）''及最后一段“Ifthereisoneruletoremember

aboutworkmeetings,itmightbethattheyareanecessaryeviLTheyarenecessaryasorganizations

needthemfbrpropercommunication,buttheyareevilinthattheyarenotirreplaceable,andshould

thusbeusedaslittleaspossibleforthesakeofproductivityandhappiness.（如果有——条关于工作会

议的规则需要记住，那就是会议是必要之恶。它们是必要的，因为组织需要它们进行适当的沟

通，但它们是邪恶的，因为它们不是不可替代的，因此为了生产力和幸福，应该尽可能少使用广

可知，作者认为很多工作会议是浪费时间，会降低工作效率，并建议越少越好。所以“Work

meetings—Theless,thebetter.（工作会议----越少越好）”是文章最佳标题，故选B项。

第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

G.Mostpeopledon'treadanythingafterthey'vefinishedschool.

【语篇导读】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了几个在我们无聊的时候做的事情，这些比起玩手机更有意义。

36.【答案】C

【解析】根据前文“Thatmighteaseourboredom.（这也许能缓解我们的无聊）”可知玩手机有一定好处；根

据后文“Thattimecould'vebeenspentonadifferent,morevaluableactivity」这些时间本可以花在

其他更有价值的活动上）“可知，玩手机的时间其实被浪费了，即玩手机的时候也错过了“使用这

些时间做其他有意义的事情”的机会，即这样做存在机会成本。C项“Butthere'sanopportunity

cost.（但这是有机会成本的）”和前文构成转折；后文是对C项的进一步解释说明。因此C项承

上启下，符合语境，故选C项。

37.【答案】G

【解析】根据后文"That'sbecausetheywereforcedtoreadatschool.（那是因为他们被迫在学校读书）”可知，

人们在学校被迫读书，在校外不愿意读书。G项“Mostpeopledon'treadanythingafterthey've

finishedschool.（大多数人毕业后什么都不读）”符合语境,且后文“they”指代G项中“Mostpeople",

故选G项。

38.【答案】B

【解析】3.根据后文“That'swhyhavinggoalsisimportant.（这就是为什么有目标很重要）”可知本段主题强

调树立目标啊的重要性。B项“Planningandgoalsetting.（计划和目标设定）”符合语境，故选B

项。

39.【答案】E

【解析】前文“Exerciseisgoodandshouldbedonefrequently」运动是好的，应该经常做）”说明做运动有好

处且应该经常做。根据第二段"That'sbecausetheywereforcedtoreadatschool.（那是因为他们被

迫在学校读书）和第三段“Somemaynotevenbesurewhatthey'resupposedtobedoingintheir

dailylife.（有些人甚至不确定他们在日常生活中应该做什么户等可知，在每段给出的建议下，都

说明了很多人在现实中不这样做。因此本段建议运动，现实中有些人不运动。E项“Butforsome

reason,noteveryonedoesit.（但出于某种原因，并不是每个人都这样做）”说明有些人不定期运动，

符合语境，故选E项

40.【答案】F

【解析】根据"Cleaningupyourroom.（打扫你的房间）”和后文“Butonceweremoveallthisvisualmess

fromourenvironment,we'reabletofocusandprocessinformationmuchbetter.（但——旦我们把这些

视觉上的混乱从我们的环境中移除，我们就能更好地集中注意力和处理信息户可知，本段主题

为要打扫房间，拥有一个整洁的生活环境。F项“Whenoursurroundingsareamess,soarewe.（当

我们周围的环境一团糟时，我们臼己也一样）''说明了整洁环境的重要性，符合语境，故选F项。
