Throughout the past year, we followed some interesting new inventions in the field of artificial intelligence (AI). Here is a look back at some notable AI developments in 2022.
Meta's speech-to-speech translation
Facebook's parent Meta said it had built a technology tool to directly translate between English and the Hokkien language, a spoken language without a widely used written form.
Meta said it trained its AI models on written text examples from Mandarin Chinese. In addition, developers used an encoding(編碼) tool designed to compare spoken Hokkiento similar English text.
Method to identify Parkinson's disease
Researchers announced a new Al method to identify Parkinson's disease. The system works by measuring a person's breathing patterns during sleep. With just one night of sleep, the AI system was able to correctly identify Parkinson's up to 86 percent of the time. With 12nights of data, the rate went up to 95 percent.
Tool to interpret pig emotions
Researchers announced they had created a technology tool that uses pig sounds to interpret different emotions.
The tool is based on thousands of recordings collected from more than 400 pigs throughout their lives. The scientists developed an AI-driven algorithm(算法) to identify a series of emotions pigs could be experiencing. It is expected to lead to further systems farmers can use to improve the productivity and well-being of their animals.
Tool to fill in missing words in ancient writings
Researchers-led by Alphabet's AI company DeepMind-said they developed an AI system to help fill in missing words in ancient writings. The tool, called Ithaca, is designed to help historians repair the writings and identify when and where they were written.
The team said that when historians work on their own, the success rate: for repairing damaged writings is about 25 percent. But when humans teamed up with Ithaca to assist in their work, the success rate jumped to 72 percent.
21、Which can be used for communication between different language speakers?

Virginia Guarddon can't remember her life without some sort of art. She started playing the piano when she was 6. At 10, she came across works by the Spanish poet Gustavo Adolfo Becquer, and she was hooked, She started writing poems that would be featured in a couple of books.
There's something else that's always been in her life: a type of skin lupus(狼瘡). "All of my life, I tried to find ways to make it better," Guarddon said. "And that led to my trying to help others feel better about their skin." The attempt took her to the U.S. in 1994, where she studied science and piano. And then she began a career in skin care.

With each purchase, customers receive a custom poem from one of the company's contributors. And some earnings from the business go to the Poetry Foundation.
In the first few months of running business, Guarddon said, Poet's Garden Alchemist is turning into an online poet's movement. She often hosts live poetry readings on Instagram.

By drawing patterns on the surface of a cup of tea, chabaixi(茶百戲), an ancient Chinese tea trick displayed in a recent TV drama, has gone viral for its apparent similarity with modern coffee art. However, ten years ago, this distinctive technique was close to disappearing. Zhang Zhifeng, a practician of chabaixi, found scenes of chabaixi in the drama aroused great interest among ordinary people.
Chabaixi can create endless patterns such as bamboos and mountains or even calligraphy. There are over a dozen steps, from grinding(碾碎) tea for fine powder, to pouring boiled water, stirring the mixture for thick froth(泡沫), and finally drawing the patterns. It is different from making coffee because people use clear water as the object to put into the cup instead of milk. But when the water touches the surface of whipped(攪打起泡的) tea, it turns into a white color and disappears in 20 minutes. The process before the drawing is known as the tea—making technique, diancha. The quality of diancha is crucial to whether patterns can be successfully produced later.
"Chabaixi is one of the countless forms of tea-making techniques in China. The importance of chabaixi is not only that this technique is unique in the world, but also it gives us a window into people's lifestyle in the Song Dynasty, a period of time when leisure activities in some ways are similar to what we have now," Zhang said.
Before chabaixi was discovered by TV audiences, the technique was listed as part of China's Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2017, after it was recovered by Zhang Zhifeng. He started researching the origins of chabaixi in the 1980s and brought the technique back in 2009after decades of trials and practice.
"To let this technique fade would be a shame. It must be passed on to the next generations so they can understand its history," Zhang said.
28、What do the underlined words "gone viral" in paragraph 1 probably mean?
A.Maintained highly competitive. B.Received good protection.
C.Started declining gradually. D. Became popular quickly.
29、What do we know about chabaixi?
A. It develops based on coffee art.
B.It involves complicated tea-making skills.
C.It mainly describes beautiful scenery.
D. It is painted with whipped milk.
30、What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. The origin of chabaixi. B. The uniqueness of chabaixi.
C. The significance of chabaixi. D. The development of chabaixi.
31、What can be the best title for this passage?
A. Zhang Zhifeng—A Practician of Chabaixi
B. Ancient Tea Technique Finds New Popular Recognition
C. A China's Intangible Cultural Heritage
D. Chabaixi-A Famous Tea-making Technique
Lithium (鋰) is called “white gold” for good reason. The metal's value has been growing rapidly over the last several years, mainly because it is an essential material of lithium-ion(鋰離子) batteries which play an important part in several key sustainable technologies, eg. electric cars.
As ocean waves, wind and solar power have grown into major players in the energy industry, lithium has also become key to building a future free of petrol. But getting lithium comes at a huge cost. Just like most metals, its mining is damaging. It often works like this: Briny water, containing lithium and other metals, is pumped to the surface from underground. Then it sits in pools to allow the water to evaporate(蒸發(fā)), leaving the rest behind as poisonous matter. Workers use chemical reactions to remove the lithium from that, making it into powder which is then packaged and shipped to the buyers around the world. Any accident that releases mine matter into surrounding communities or the groundwater supply could have damaging long-term impacts.
Indigenous(原住民) communities often bear the result of the damage, and political leaders have paid little attention to their concerns. In Arizona, for example, an expanding lithium mine is threatening the Hualapai Tribe's historical sites. And for politicians who have promised to work with locals to deal with it, mining lithium and other precious metals is putting them into a dilemma: How do you ensure the availability of materials which are essential to the future while protecting indigenous people's living environment?
Mining of the metal is expected to increase greatly in coming years. Over time, that will make electric cars inexpensive and, therefore, more popular.
As environmentally conscious consumers buy electric cars in ever-greater numbers, it's important to be aware of the dirty process that powers those clean air vehicles.
32、What do we know about Lithium in paragraph 2?
A. It's a kind of battery.
B. It is the same with wind and solar power.
C. Only Lithium can replace fossil fuels.
D. It will be widely used in the future.
33、What can be inferred from the mining process(開采過程)?
A. It does harm to the environment. B.It's easily done.
C.It costs much money. D. The workers benefit a lot from it.
34、What aspect of Lithium mining concerns the politicians?
A. The shortage of Lithium.
B. The prices of electric cars.
C.Their people will no longer support them.
D. The balance between it and environment protection.
35、Which word best describes the author's attitude to Lithium mining?
A. Supportive. B.Worried. C.Indifferent. D.Optimistic.

54、閱讀下面材料,根據(jù)其內(nèi)容和所給段落開頭語續(xù)寫兩段,使之構(gòu)成一篇完整的短文。
My great-grandmother Eileen is ambitious, determined, loyal, strong and a bit of legend in her own lifetime, which now reaches 92 years. I should add that we're not allowed to call her Gran, because she says it makes her feel old.
That summer, I lost my job and felt hopeless. One day, I paid a visit to her. On my arrival, seeing my low spirits, she asked me whether I had prepared to get a new start. I just kept silent. Without any more words, she picked up a box which she placed on the coffee table, saying "You do know what you're doing with these things, don't you?"
It was a new phone. Her current mobile was pretty ancient.
"Yes," I said.
"Good. That's why I ask you. You young people know more about such things than us oldies. You can take it home and get it all set up," she went on. "Then, when you bring it back, show me how to use my new phone, such as getting on the Internet, sending e-mails and so on." She smiled so sweetly. Setting up the phone would be easy, but teaching her how to use it might be challenging.
The following day I headed back to my great-grandmother's with the phone. "Here's your phone. It's all ready to use."
For the next hour, I was busy setting up her passcode(密碼) and fingerprint recognition, which she said was like something out of James Bond.
When I finally got her to swipe(滑動屏幕), she didn't put the right amount of pressure on and the menu slipped away. After what seemed like hours, she threw the phone across the room and it landed on the sofa. "Take it away!" she howled. "I want my old phone back!"
I picked up the phone and was about to leave to give her time to cool down when I realized I didn't want to go home when she was angry.
注意:
1.續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應為150左右;
2.請在答題卡的相應位置作答。
"Come on, Eileen. One more try." I said.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

28、答案：D
解析：詞句猜測題。根據(jù)劃線詞前“an ancient Chinese tea trick displayed in a recent TV drama(最近一部電視劇中展示的中國古代茶藝“茶百戲”)”及下文“However, ten years ago, this distinctive technique was close to disappearing.(然而,十年前,這種獨特的技術幾近消失)”可知,一項古老的茶藝幾乎失傳,應該是很多人不知道的,但是在一部電視劇中展示這項技藝,應該是更多的觀眾對這項古老技藝有了了解。由此推斷,劃線部分的意思是由于這部電視劇“茶百戲”再次為人熟知,流行開來。故選D項。
29、答案：B
解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段“Chabaixi can create endless patterns such as bamboos and mountains or even calligraphy. There are over a dozen steps, from grinding(碾碎) tea for fine powder, to pouring boiled water, stirring the mixture for thick froth, and finally drawing the patterns.(茶百戲可以創(chuàng)造出無數(shù)的圖案,如竹子和山脈,甚至書法。從磨成細粉,到倒開水,攪拌成濃沫,最后畫出圖案,總共有十幾道工序)”及“The process before the drawing is known as the tea-making technique, diancha. The quality of diancha is crucial to whether patterns can be successfully produced later.(畫之前的泡茶過程被稱為點茶。點茶的質(zhì)量是以后能否成功制作出圖案的關鍵)”可知,茶百戲涉及非常復雜的泡茶藝術。故選B項。
30、答案：C
解析：段落大意題。根據(jù)第三段“Chabaixi is one of the countless forms of tea-making techniques in China. The importance of chabaixi is not only that this technique is unique in the world, but also it gives us a window into people’s lifestyle in the Song Dynasty, a period of time when leisure activities in some ways resemble what we have now.(茶百戲是中國無數(shù)種制茶技術中的一種。茶百戲的重要性不僅在于它的技術在世界上是獨一無二的,還在于它讓我們得以一窺宋代人們的生活方式,當時的休閑活動在某些方面與我們現(xiàn)在的生活方式很相似)”可知,該段落主要介紹這種古老技藝對于我們現(xiàn)代人具有重要意義。significance 與 importance 意思一致。故選C項。
31、答案：B
解析：標題判斷題。根據(jù)第一段“By drawing patterns on the surface of a cup of tea, chabaixi(茶百戲), an ancient Chinese tea trick displayed in a recent TV drama, has gone viral for its apparent similarity with modern coffee art. However, ten years ago, this distinctive technique was close to disappearing.(最近一部電視劇中展示的中國古代茶藝“茶百戲”,通過在茶杯表面畫圖案,因其與現(xiàn)代咖啡藝術的明顯相似而走紅。然而,十年前,這種獨特的技術幾近消失)”可知,文章主要介紹一種古老幾乎失傳的一種中國茶藝因一部電視劇而重又被人了解認識,后面全文主要向讀者介紹這種茶藝及其價值。故選B項。
32、答案：D
解析：細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段“As ocean waves, wind and solar power have grown into major players in the energy industry. lithium has also become key to building a future free of petrol.(隨著海浪、風能和太陽能已成長為能源行業(yè)的主要參與者。鋰也已成為建設無汽油未來的關鍵。)”可知,鋰也成為構(gòu)建無化石燃料未來的關鍵,即它在未來會被大量使用。故選D。
33、答案：A
解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段“As with most metals, its mining is damaging. It often works like this: Briny water, containing lithium and other metals, is pumped to the surface from underground. Then it sits in pools to allow the water to evaporate, leaving the rest behind as poisonous matter. Workers use chemical reactions to remove the lithium from that, making it into powder which is then packaged and shipped to the buyers around the world. Any accident that releases mine matter into surrounding communities or the groundwater supply could have damaging long-term impacts.(與大多數(shù)金屬一樣,它的開采具有破壞性。它通常是這樣工作的:含有鋰和其他金屬的鹽水從地下泵到地表。然后,它被放置在水池中,讓水蒸發(fā),剩下的就成了有毒物質(zhì)。工人們利用化學反應來去除其中的鋰,將其制成粉末,然后包裝并運往世界各地的買家。任何泄漏礦井物質(zhì)到周圍社區(qū)或地下水供應的事故都可能產(chǎn)生破壞性的長期影響)”以及第三段“In Arizona, for example, an expanding lithium mine is threatening the Hualapai Tribe’s historical sites.(例如,在亞利桑那州,一個不斷擴大的鋰礦正在威脅著瓦拉派部落的歷史遺址)”可推知,鋰的開采過程對環(huán)境有害。故選A。
34、答案：D
解析：細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段“And for politicians who have promised to work with native peoples to deal with it, mining lithium and other precious metals is putting them into a dilemma: How do you ensure the availability of materials which are essential to the future while protecting indigenous people’ rights?(對于那些承諾與土著人民合作解決這一問題的政客來說,開采鋰和其他貴金屬讓他們陷入了兩難境地:你如何在保護土著人民權利的同時,確保對未來至關重要的材料的供應?)”可知,鋰礦開采和環(huán)境保護之間的平衡與政客有關。故選D。
35、答案：B
解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第二段和第三段介紹鋰礦開采對環(huán)境和當?shù)厝嗽斐傻奈：赏浦?作者對鋰礦開采是擔憂態(tài)度。故選B。
36、答案：AGBCE
解析：①上文“ChatGPT, launched in November, 2022, has attracted over 100 million monthly users in just two months, which is considered the fastest-growing consumer app. (ChatGPT于2022年11月推出,在短短兩個月內(nèi)就吸引了超過1億的月用戶,被認為是增長最快的消費應用程序。)”可知,ChatGPT短短兩個月就風靡世界,D 項“It is undoubtedly a shocking achievement.(這無疑是一項令人震驚的成就。)”,A 項中的It指代上文的現(xiàn)象,上下文銜接連貫,故選A項。
②根據(jù)上文“ChatGPT can write emails, computer code, even academic papers and poems.(ChatGPT可以寫電子郵件,計算機代碼,甚至學術論文和詩歌。)”可知,ChatGPT有很多功能,G項“Also, it has succeeded in passing different kinds of exams.(此外,它還成功地通過了各種考試)”,其中的Also,道出了ChatGPT的另一個功能,上文與G項為并列關系;下文“With various functions, it is suspected to do no good to multiple areas, above all the higher education.(它的功能多種多樣,但被懷疑對多個領域都沒有好處,尤其是高等教育。)”,此處的various functions,即上文提及的ChatGPT的功能,可能對多個領域,包括高等教育,起到不好的影響,上下文銜接連貫順暢,故選G項。
③上文“So is ChatGPT a benefit or a trouble?(那么ChatGPT是利還是弊呢?)”針對這個問題,世人給出不同的答案,B項“The answers vary greatly across the world.(世界各地的答案大相徑庭。)”,下文“Some universities have banned it due to the warning that it could prompt more students to cheat, especially in exams.(一些大學已經(jīng)禁止了ChatGPT,因為警告稱這可能會促使更多學生作弊,尤其是在考試中。)”,以及“Andreas Schleicher, director of education and skills of the Organization of Economic Co-operation and Development, for instance, said he welcomes ChatGPT because ‘it gives people a chance’ to concentrate less on tasks that technology can perform equally well.(例如,經(jīng)濟合作與發(fā)展組織教育與技能主管安德烈亞斯?施萊歇爾表示,他歡迎ChatGPT,因為‘它給了人們一個機會’,可以減少對技術同樣能勝任的任務的關注。)”,下文中有支持聲,也有反對聲,B 項承上啟下,故選B項。
④上文“Some universities have banned it due to the warning that it could prompt more students to cheat, especially in exams.(一些大學已經(jīng)禁止了ChatGPT,因為警告稱這可能會促使更多學生作弊,尤其是在考試中。)”為反對學生使用ChatGPT的態(tài)度,C項“By comparison, others regard it as a blessing rather than a curse.(相比之下,其他人認為這是一種祝福而不是詛咒。)”,C項與上文為轉(zhuǎn)折關系,表達了對學生使用ChatGPT的認同,下文“Andreas Schleicher, director of education and skills of the Organization of Economic Co-operation and Development, for instance, said he welcomes ChatGPT because ‘it gives people a chance’ to concentrate less on tasks that technology can perform equally well.(例如,經(jīng)濟合作與發(fā)展組織教育與技能主管安德烈亞斯?施萊歇爾表示,他歡迎ChatGPT,因為‘它給了人們一個機會’,可以減少對技術同樣能勝任的任務的關注。)”則是以安德烈亞斯?施萊歇爾為例,表達了對學生使用ChatGPT的支持,上下文銜接連貫,故選C項。
⑤根據(jù)上文“According to a survey covering more than 100 educators and over 1,000 students, one-third of the educators said they believe ChatGPT should be banned in schools and universities, while the rest supported students having access to it. The attitude of most students sees a distinct difference.(根據(jù)一項涵蓋100多名教育工作者和1000多名學生的調(diào)查,三分之一的教育工作者表示,他們認為中小學和大學應該禁止ChatGPT,而其余的人則支持學生使用ChatGPT。大多數(shù)學生的態(tài)度有明顯的不同。)”可知,在ChatGPT的使用問題上,大多數(shù)學生與教育工作者態(tài)度不一樣,E項“They admitted having sought help from ChatGPT to complete their homework.(他們承認曾向ChatGPT尋求幫助以完成作業(yè)。)”,其中的They指代上文的學生,大多數(shù)學生支持學生使用ChatGPT,上下文語意銜接連貫,故選E項。

53、答案：
Previously informed that you are going to take part in the short video contest “Charming China”, I feel honored to make some recommendations as follows.
Regarding the filming content, I suggest that you focus on the combination of traditional Chinese culture and modern urban development. As you know, China maintains a deep cultural heritage, and is also experiencing rapid modernization. The combination of these different elements definitely demonstrates the unique charm of China. You can film the contrast between traditional and modern landmarks, as well as some local cultural activities such as tea-drinking, Tai Chi, and lion dancing.
Personally, it would be beneficial if you take my advice into account. Wish you success and you are free to contact me for further information.
54、答案：
答案一：
“Come on, Eileen. One more try.” I said. “This time I’ll hold your finger and show you how much pressure to use. Guess what, it took me a while to get the hang of swiping.” added I. I held her finger gently and her face lit up when the menu appeared. “I want a selfie with you. Show me how to use the camera!” My heart sank a bit, but she didn’t need a lot of help and we sent her friend Emily a photo of us both laughing. “I can’t wait to show everyone my new phone,” she said happily. “Thank you for your patience, Tom.” (99 words)
I was not feeling so hopeless any more now. Great-grandma’s spirit inspired me greatly. It occurred to me that if a 92-year-old lady could learn new skills, then so could I. I had no doubt that I would find something I liked even more. There must be a job out there for me somewhere and I was sure to find it. I headed for home with a smile on my face and a whole lot of love for my amazing great-grandmother. My great-grandmother would always be a role model for me to learn from. (85 words)
答案二：
“Come on, Eileen. One more try.” I said. Still in her anger, my great-grandmother turned her back to me, pretending to ignore my words. I knew her tricks! I went over to her quietly, stretched her new phone before her, and took a selfie with her. She took over the phone immediately before I could do something. “Let me have a look at the photo!” she said curiously as if nothing had happened. “Wow! Great! It indeed works better than the old one!” It seemed that “curiosity” drove Eileen to learn to use the new phone fast and perfectly. And her sincere “thanks” brought me warmth and strength. (100 words)
I was not feeling so hopeless any more now. “Eileen, you’re great!” Seeing the brilliant smiles on her face, I showed my admiration to the lovely lady for her “passion” for the new things. Meanwhile, I thought to myself that nothing could defeat someone if he had a willing heart. “You’re cooler than James Bond! Nothing is difficult for you.” “Thanks again, my dear! Surely, I’m eager to learn something new, though it may bring difficulties to me. It really brought me benefits to think of something from different angels. So it is with you!” My great-grandmother’s words really got me lost in thought and inspired me to go forward. (100 words)
