I lost my leg to cancer at 30. My first trip out of the house as a one-legged woman would be to see a sick friend in hospital with my mom.
As I made my way through the hospital, I was prepared for looks of curiosity, sympathy, and even shock. But one thing shook me to a depth I had never experienced before. Two kids were playing in the hallway. As I passed by on my crutches (拐杖), they looked up at me, and suddenly, the little boy pointed at me. “Look at that lady!” It seemed that he was shouting loud enough for the entire hospital to hear. “She only has one leg! Doesn’t that look funny?”
Both of the kids burst into laughter. Heads turned, and I felt the blood rush to my face. I put my head down and rushed out as fast as I dared on my crutches. I held my tears back until the car door closed. As I fell into the seats, I cried, “How could they think this is funny?”
My mom tried her best to comfort me, “Honey, they are just kids. They don’t know any better.” They were just kids, but that did not excuse their rude behavior. I felt a wave of belief flood through me. I knew what I had to do. “Well, someone has to teach them!” I said. And I knew that someone would be me.
When I was well enough, I started to visit elementary schools and talk to children about being different. I was teaching children to be respectful of people who are different, and teaching them people come in all shapes, colors and sizes and we are each special and unique.
Speaking to children was just the beginning for me. I became an inspirational speaker and author and learned that being grateful for all the remaining parts of me was the only way to start and end my day. I shared my story in my book called I Am Choosing to Smile. I do, indeed, choose to smile. Waking up every morning, I look down at my one foot and say with all sincerity, “Good morning, five toes. I’m very glad to see you!”
24. What shocked the author in the hospital?
A. The curious look a boy had.
B. The words a boy shouted out.
C The game the boys were playing.

Researchers from a U.K. plant research institute have found a way to provide plants with an antibody-based defense for a specific threat, potentially speeding the creation of crops resistant to any kind of emerging virus, or bacterium (細菌). The strategy is to inoculate a protein from the plant pathogen (病原體) to be targeted to a camel or other camel relatives, purify the unusually small antibodies the camels produce, and engineer the corresponding gene section for them into a plant’s own immune gene.
Farmers lose many billions of dollars to plant diseases each year, and emerging pathogens pose new threats to food security in the developing world. Plants have evolved their own immune system, kick-started by cell receptors that recognize general pathogen features, such as a bacterial cell wall, as well as intracellular receptors for molecules (分子) produced by specific pathogens. If a plant cell detects these molecules, it may trigger its own death to save the rest of the plant. But plant pathogens often evolve and escape from those receptors.
A long-standing dream in plant biotechnology is to create designer disease resistance genes that could be produced as fast as pathogens emerge. One approach is to edit the gene for a plant immune receptor, changing the protein’s shape to recognize a particular pathogenic molecule.
Instead, Sophien Kamoun, a molecular biologist at the Sainsbury Laboratory, and his colleagues used an animal immune system to help make the receptor adjustments. During an infection with a new pathogen, animals produce billions of slightly different antibodies, ultimately selecting and mass-producing those that best target the virus.
Camelids, which include camels, are workhorses for antibody design because their immune systems create unusually small versions, called nano-bodies. As a proof of principle of the new plant defense strategy, Kamoun’s group turned to two standard camelid nano-bodies that recognize two different molecules, including one called green fluorescent protein (GFP), to detect test viruses, in this case a potato virus, engineered to make the fluorescent proteins. They investigated how well plants with the nano-body-enhanced receptors detected the changed potato viruses. It was found that the plants increased an active immune response and experienced almost no viral reproduction.
“The exciting part about this technology is that we have the potential of made-to-order resistance genes and keeping up with a pathogen,” Kamoun says. “This technology is a potential game changer,” says Jeff Dangl, a plant researcher at the University of North Carolina. Ksenia Krasileva, a scientist at the University of California, Berkeley, says the mixture of nano-bodies with plant immune receptors opens up a vast body of biomedical knowledge for plant scientists. “We can now dig into all of that research and translate it to save crops.”
27. What does the underlined word “inoculate” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. Compare. B. Restore. C. Introduce. D. Label.
28. What is the main purpose of Paragraph 2?
A. To illustrate the function of cells in saving the plant.
B. To explain how to strengthen plant receptors effectively.
C. To demonstrate the solutions to farmers’ annual heavy losses.
D. To reveal why plants fail to handle constantly-updated diseases.
29. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Editing plant receptors is to match the shape of pathogens.
B. Nano-bodies can help plants catch up with pathogen changes.
C. Plants select the best antibodies from animals to fight viruses.
D. Plants with nano-bodies respond actively in massive virus copying.
30. According to the passage, scientists will .
A. apply the outcome in the real world B. prove the findings of resistance genes
C. identify similar means to fight diseases D. seek more support for the new strategy
【答案】27. C 28. D 29. B 30. A
【解析】
【導(dǎo)語】這是一篇說明文。主要說明了英國一家植物研究所的研究人員發(fā)現(xiàn)了一種方法,可以為植物提供一種基于抗體的防御機制,以抵御一種特定的威脅,這可能會加速作物對任何新出現(xiàn)的病毒或細菌的抗性的產(chǎn)生。
【27題詳解】
詞句猜測題。根據(jù)畫線詞下文“a protein from the plant pathogen (病原體) to be targeted to a camel or other camel relatives, purify the unusually small antibodies the camels produce, and engineer the corresponding gene section for them into a plant’s own immune gene(將植物病原體中的一種蛋白質(zhì)接種到駱駝或其他駱駝親屬,純化駱駝產(chǎn)生的異常小的抗體,并將其相應(yīng)的基因片段轉(zhuǎn)化為植物自身的免疫基因)”可知,要純化駱駝產(chǎn)生的異常小的抗體,并將相應(yīng)的基因片段設(shè)計成植物自身的免疫基因,需要把一種來自植物病原體的蛋白質(zhì)引入到駱駝或其他駱駝的近親身上,故畫線詞意思是“引入”。故選C。
【28題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段“Farmers lose many billions of dollars to plant diseases each year, and emerging pathogens pose new threats to food security in the developing world. Plants have evolved their own immune system, kick-started by cell receptors that recognize general pathogen features, such as a bacterial cell wall, as well as intracellular receptors for molecules (分子) produced by specific pathogens. If a plant cell detects these molecules, it may trigger its own death to save the rest of the plant. But plant pathogens often evolve and escape from those receptors.(農(nóng)民每年因植物病害損失數(shù)十億美元,新出現(xiàn)的病原體對發(fā)展中國家的糧食安全構(gòu)成了新的威脅。植物已經(jīng)進化出了自己的免疫系統(tǒng),由識別一般病原體特征(如細菌細胞壁)的細胞受體以及識別特定病原體產(chǎn)生的分子的細胞內(nèi)受體啟動。如果一個植物細胞檢測到這些分子,它可能會觸發(fā)自己的死亡,以拯救植物的其余部分。但植物病原體經(jīng)常進化并逃離這些受體)”可推知,第二段的主要目的是揭示為什么植物不能應(yīng)對不斷更新的疾病。故選D。
【29題詳解】
細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段““The exciting part about this technology is that we have the potential of made-to-order resistance genes and keeping up with a pathogen,” Kamoun says.( Kamoun說:“這項技術(shù)令人興奮的部分是,我們有可能定制抗性基因,并跟上病原體的步伐?!?”可知,納米體可以幫助植物跟上病原體的變化。故選B。

Superhuman artificial intelligence is already among us. Well, sort of. When it comes to playing games like chess and Go, or solving difficult scientific challenges like predicting protein structures, computers are well ahead of us. But we have one superpower they aren’t close to mastering: mind reading.
Humans have a mysterious ability to reason the goals, desires and beliefs of others, a crucial skill that means we can anticipate other people’s actions and the consequences of our own. Reading minds comes so easily to us, though, that we often don’t think to spell out what we want. If AIs are to become truly useful in everyday life—to cooperate effectively with us or to understand that a child might run into the road after a bouncing ball—we have to give them this gift that evolution has given us to read other people’s minds.
Psychologists refer to the ability to infer another’s mental state as theory of mind. In humans, this capacity starts to develop at a very young age. How to reproduce the capability in machines is far from clear, though. One of the main challenges is context. For instance, if someone asks whether you are going for a run and you reply “it’s raining”, they can quickly conclude that the answer is no. But this requires huge amounts of background knowledge about running, weather and human preferences.
Moreover, whether humans or AI, the theory of mind is supposed to emerge naturally from one’s own learning process. Building prior knowledge into AI makes it reliant on our imperfect understanding of theory of mind. In addition, AI may be capable of developing approaches we could never imagine. There can be many forms of theory of mind that we don’t know about simply because we live in a human body that has certain types of senses and a certain ability to think.
Yet we might still want AI to have a more human-like form of theory of mind. Humans can clearly explain their goals and desires to each other using common language and ideas. While letting AI form the theory of mind in their learning process is likely to lead to developing more powerful AI, plainly building in shared ways to represent knowledge may be crucial for humans to trust and communicate with AI.
It is important to remember, though, that the pursuit of machines with theory of mind is about more than just building more useful robots. It is also a stepping stone on the path towards a deeper goal for AI and robotics research: building truly self-aware machines. Whether we will ever get there remains to be seen. But along the way thinking about other people and other agents, we are on the path to learning to think about ourselves.

【導(dǎo)語】本文是一篇議論文。當(dāng)涉及到下棋和圍棋等游戲,或解決預(yù)測蛋白質(zhì)結(jié)構(gòu)等棘手的科學(xué)挑戰(zhàn)時,計算機遠遠領(lǐng)先于我們。但我們有一個他們還沒有掌握的超能力:讀心術(shù)。作者希望人工智能也能具備這種思維能力,實現(xiàn)人類與人工智能的交流。
【31題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段“But we have one superpower they aren’t close to mastering: mind reading. (但我們有一個他們還沒有掌握的超能力:讀心術(shù))”和第二段“Humans have a mysterious ability to reason the goals, desires and beliefs of others, a crucial skill that means we can anticipate other people’s actions and the consequences of our own. (人類有一種神秘的能力來推理他人的目標(biāo)、欲望和信仰,這是一項至關(guān)重要的技能,意味著我們可以預(yù)測他人的行為和自己的后果) ”和第三段的“For instance, if someone asks whether you are going for a run and you reply “it’s raining”, they can quickly conclude that the answer is no.(例如,如果有人問你是否要跑步,而你回答“正在下雨”,他們很快就會得出結(jié)論,答案是否定的)”可知,讀心需要經(jīng)過一定的推理,而計算機不具備人類所擁有的讀心的能力。A項“When you are asked to eat spicy food for dinner and you reply “a sore throat”. (你被要求晚餐吃辣的食物時,你回答說“喉嚨痛”)”、B項“When a teacher asks for a boy’s homework and he answers “my dog ate it”. (當(dāng)老師問一個男孩的家庭作業(yè)時,他回答說“我的狗吃了”)”和D項“When kids see their mom after hurting themselves and they cry louder. (當(dāng)孩子們在傷害自己后看到他們的媽媽時,他們哭得更大聲)”都需要運用到思維理論去解釋人們的目標(biāo)和欲望。C項“When a mom tells her kid some food is good for health and the kid eats it. (當(dāng)媽媽告訴她的孩子一些食物對健康有益時,孩子就會吃)”是直接的陳述,不需要運用思維理論。故選C。

推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段“In humans, this capacity starts to develop at a very young age. How to reproduce the capability in machines is far from clear, though. One of the main challenges is context. For instance, if someone asks whether you are going for a run and you reply “it’s raining”, they can quickly conclude that the answer is no. But this requires huge amounts of background knowledge about running, weather and human preferences. (心理學(xué)家將推斷他人精神狀態(tài)的能力稱為心理理論。在人類中,這種能力在很小的時候就開始發(fā)展。然而,如何在機器中復(fù)制這種能力還遠不清楚。主要挑戰(zhàn)之一是語境問題。例如,如果有人問你是否要跑步,而你回答“正在下雨”,他們很快就會得出結(jié)論,答案是否定的。但這需要大量關(guān)于跑步、天氣和人類偏好的背景知識)”可知,人類在一定程度上限制了人工智能的思維理論。故選B。
【33題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段“Yet we might still want AI to have a more human-like form of theory of mind. Humans can clearly explain their goals and desires to each other using common language and ideas. While letting AI form the theory of mind in their learning process is likely to lead to developing more powerful AI, plainly building in shared ways to represent knowledge may be crucial for humans to trust and communicate with AI. (然而,我們可能仍然希望人工智能擁有一種更像人類的思維理論。人類可以用共同的語言和想法向彼此清楚地解釋他們的目標(biāo)和欲望。雖然讓人工智能在學(xué)習(xí)過程中形成思維理論可能會導(dǎo)致開發(fā)出更強大的人工智能,但以共享的方式表達知識可能對人類信任人工智能和與人工智能交流至關(guān)重要)”可知,關(guān)于人工智能,作者最看重的是它的推理能力,這樣才能實現(xiàn)人類人工智能的交流。故選C。
【34題詳解】
主旨大意題。通讀全文,結(jié)合最后一段的“It is important to remember, though, that the pursuit of machines with theory of mind is about more than just building more useful robots. It is also a stepping stone on the path towards a deeper goal for AI and robotics research: building truly self-aware machines. (然而,重要的是要記住,追求具有思維理論的機器不僅僅是為了制造更有用的機器人。這也是邁向人工智能和機器人研究更深層目標(biāo)的墊腳石:建造真正有自我意識的機器)”可知,作者期待建造真正有自我意識的機器,即作者期待人工智能具備思維理論。故A項“AI with Its Own Theory of Mind Is Expected(期待人工智有擁有自己的心智理論)”可以作為本文的最佳標(biāo)題。故選A。

In our modern world, there are endless alternatives. Have you ever found yourself wondering whether you should quit or stay in your job, accept an offer or give it up for another? There is a simple and practical method that solves this problem.____35____When you understand the concept, you have the power to measure every alternative with precision and make the right decision.
In the field of economics, opportunity cost is the value that you have to give up when you choose an option over another good option.____36____Every time you choose something, you give up other alternatives together with their financial benefits. It is not all the other options, but the most valued one that is defined as the opportunity cost.
____37____Take the simple example of trying to decide whether to take public transportation for 80 minutes or to drive for 40 minutes. You might save on the cost of gas while riding the bus but double the trip length and miss out on other things you could have done during that time.____38____This is how you create priorities in your daily life.
Though useful in decision making, the biggest drawback of opportunity cost is that it’s often related to what’s hard to quantify.____39____After all, putting a number to your peaceful mind or happiness can be difficult.
Opportunity cost isn’t cut and dried. It varies from person to person. At the end of the day, you are in charge of what you own and what you want to gain.

【導(dǎo)語】這是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了機會成本。
【35題詳解】
根據(jù)上文“There is a simple and practical method that solves this problem.( 有一個簡單實用的方法可以解決這個問題。)”和下文“When you understand the concept, you have the power to measure every alternative with precision and make the right decision.(當(dāng)你理解了這個概念,你就有能力精確地衡量每一個選擇,并做出正確的決定。)”可知,空處提到了一個概念,就是機會成本。A項中的“the opportunity cost”和下文中的“the concept”對應(yīng)。A項:It is about finding out the opportunity cost.(這是關(guān)于找出機會成本。)符合語境。故選A。
【36題詳解】
根據(jù)下文“Every time you choose something, you give up other alternatives together with their financial benefits.(每次你選擇某樣?xùn)|西,你就放棄了其他的選擇以及它們的經(jīng)濟利益。)”可知,下文舉例說明機會成本的具體實施原則,選擇了某樣?xùn)|西,就要放棄其他的選擇以及它們的經(jīng)濟利益。E項:The key principle underlying the idea is that there is no such thing as free lunch.(這個觀點的關(guān)鍵原則是,天下沒有免費的午餐。)符合語境。故選E。
【37題詳解】
空處為段落主題句。根據(jù)下文“Take the simple example of trying to decide whether to take public transportation for 80 minutes or to drive for 40 minutes.(舉個簡單的例子,試著決定是乘80分鐘的公共交通工具還是開車40分鐘。)”可知,本段主要講述機會成本在日常生活中的應(yīng)用。C項:Opportunity cost matters not only in economics but also in real life.(機會成本不僅在經(jīng)濟學(xué)中很重要,在現(xiàn)實生活中也很重要。)符合語境。故選C。
【38題詳解】
根據(jù)上文“You might save on the cost of gas while riding the bus but double the trip length and miss out on other things you could have done during that time.(你可能會在乘坐公共汽車時節(jié)省汽油費用,但會使行程長度增加一倍,并錯過在這段時間內(nèi)你可以做的其他事情。)”可知,在做決定之前要權(quán)衡利弊。B項:Weigh the losses and gains, and make your decision.(權(quán)衡得失,再做決定。)符合語境。故選B。
【39題詳解】
根據(jù)上文“Though useful in decision making, the biggest drawback of opportunity cost is that it’s often related to what’s hard to quantify. (雖然機會成本在決策中很有用,但它最大的缺點是它往往與難以量化的東西有關(guān)。)”可知,此處提出機會成本的局限性,結(jié)合下文“After all, putting a number to your peaceful mind or happiness can be difficult.(畢竟,用一個數(shù)字來形容你內(nèi)心的平靜或快樂是很困難的。)”可知,像情緒等非經(jīng)濟利益機會成本難以形容。D項:This is especially true when the opportunity cost is of non-financial benefit.(當(dāng)機會成本是非經(jīng)濟利益時尤其如此。)符合語境。故選D。

閱讀下面短文,根據(jù)題目要求用英文回答問題。請在答題卡指定區(qū)域作答。
The term “nostalgia” was first coined in 1688 and was defined as a mental illness of soldiers continually thinking about their homeland and longing for return. However, today we have a much more positive attitude to nostalgia. It’s a great example of the benefits of a strong memory.
In numerous scientific experiments, researchers have found that subjects are much more likely to report positive feelings from a given piece of music if they’ve heard it before. But there’s also a growing body of research into time travel “the other way”, because memory skills can take people into the future, too. Decades of studies have shown that time travel into the future can bring a whole new set of rewards. For example, athletes who practice by mentally visualizing and imagining successful performances in the future do perform better.
All these findings are inspiring and attractive. How could you become a confident time traveler to the past or into the future? Here are some tips for you:
·To take pleasure in helpful memories, maybe to reawaken happy feelings, use all your senses—not just sight. Smell, taste, touch and sound will also help you to recreate the past in rich clarity.
·If you find a memory that’s particularly helpful—for reassurance, say—keep using it!
You’ll get faster at finding it, and add extra layers of detail each time.
·When you’re procrastinating (拖延), visualize an end result. Flash forward to see the floor swept or the essay finished, and use that positive image to drive you into action.
·Ahead of major challenges, imagine the full impact of success. Don’t just picture yourself getting that great job: fill your mind with the really big ways it’s going to change your life.
There’ll still be times when old thoughts remind you of sadness, or you’re anxious about what’s next. But the more you learn to control your memory, the better you’ll be at mining your past, and shaping your future, to be your best self now.
40. What did nostalgia originally mean?
___________________________________________
41. What have the researchers found about time travel?

43. Describe one of the helpful time-travel experiences in your life. (In about 40 words)
___________________________________________
【答案】40. A mental illness of soldiers continually thinking about their homeland and longing for return.
41. They have found that time travel to the past and into the future both bring benefits to us.
42. ?Memory skills can bring us into the future, so we should imagine a negative end result to drive us into action when procrastinating.
Because we should use a positive end result to drive us into action when procrastinating.

【40題詳解】
考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)文章第一段“The term “nostalgia” was first coined in 1688 and was defined as a mental illness of soldiers continually thinking about their homeland and longing for return.(“懷舊”一詞最早出現(xiàn)于1688年,被定義為一種士兵的精神疾病,他們會不斷地想念自己的家園,渴望回歸。)”可知,“懷舊”原意為軍人不斷思念故土、渴望回歸的一種心理疾病。故答案是:A mental illness of soldiers continually thinking about their homeland and longing for return.
【41題詳解】
考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)文章第二段“In numerous scientific experiments, researchers have found that subjects are much more likely to report positive feelings from a given piece of music if they’ve heard it before. But there’s also a growing body of research into time travel “the other way”, because memory skills can take people into the future, too. Decades of studies have shown that time travel into the future can bring a whole new set of rewards.(在許多科學(xué)實驗中,研究人員發(fā)現(xiàn),如果受試者以前聽過某段音樂,他們更有可能從這段音樂中獲得積極的感覺。但也有越來越多的研究以“另一種方式”進行時間旅行,因為記憶技能也可以把人們帶到未來。幾十年的研究表明,穿越到未來可以帶來一系列全新的回報。)”可知,研究人員發(fā)現(xiàn)時間旅行到過去和到未來都會給我們帶來好處。故答案是:They have found that time travel to the past and into the future both bring benefits to us.
【42題詳解】
考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第三段“When you’re procrastinating (拖延), visualize an end result.

Because we should use a positive end result to drive us into action when procrastinating.
