B篇
When the news came that my mother was hospitalized for a heart attack, I was in Peru on a hiking trip. That evening, before I could board the plane to Italy, I was informed that she had passed away. Sadness and the feeling of not being there for my mother when she needed me most broke all excuses Id made up to stay away trying to make it as a “travel writer”. There wasn’t much I could do to stop that urge to denounce myself.
My mother Tundra stayed in her northern Italian world most of her life, where I always stood out as a freak and the one doing worthless silly things. But my stories from distant places aroused her curiosity and brought her comfort. To her, I was a courageous adventurer, and her words towards my achievements which are in sign if cant now pushed me forward on that unconventional path.
After handling my mother’s affairs in Italy, I decided to leave for Penang Island, one of the most visited places in Penang, Malaysia. With all the international travel I’d done, in truth I’d always treated it more like as top for necessary and urgent breaks, rather than a proper destination. Yet then, I missed its atmosphere that made me feel at home somehow.
Returning there, I reconnected with backwoods by going on hikes. It was hard to put my feelings into words, but the rainforest held something uniquely comforting. This experience was similar to stepping into an ancient, purer world that made one consider human nature and problems. Besides, the sound of strange insects was almost like a language, whispering to me that I should let go of the past, and only focus on current life. Like an oil leak, that suffering fell out of me and into every footprint left.18 months passing, I look back on the time spent in the natural world and timeless environment, knowing I’ve pulled through.

5. What’s the attitude of the author’s mother to his travel
A. Worried. B. Favorable. C. Disapproving D. Excited.
6. What did Penang Island mean to the author in the past
A. A special second home. B. A hard-to-reach destination.
C. A distant tourist attraction. D. A much-needed resting place.
7. What does the author intend to tell in the text
A. Hiking builds up his confidence. B. Penang is a good place to restart.
C. Nature helps him overcome sorrow. D. It’s important to live in the moment.
【答案】4. A 5. B 6. D 7. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述作者通过亲近自然、在自然中度过时光终于走出了失去母亲以及没能在母亲最需要时陪伴她的痛苦。
【4题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段的“Sadness and the feeling of not being there for my mother when she needed me most broke all excuses Id made up to stay away trying to make it as a “travel writer”. There wasn’t much I could do to stop that urge to denounce myself.(悲伤和在母亲最需要我的时候没有陪伴在她身边的感觉打破了我为成为一名“旅行作家”而编造的所有借口。我无法阻止denounce自己的冲动)”可知,作者没能在母亲最需要的时候陪在她身边,由此可知,作者会责备自己的去秘鲁旅行的冲动。因此猜测划线词意为“责备”,与blame同义。故选A。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第第二段的“To her, I was a courageous adventurer, and her words towards my achievements which are in sign if cant now pushed me forward on that unconventional path.(对她来说,我是一个勇敢的冒险家,而她对我的成就的赞美——尽管现在还没有实现——推动着我走上了那条非常规的道路)”推知,母亲对作者的旅行持支持态度。故选B。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的“After handling my mother’s affairs in Italy, I decided to leave for Penang Island, one of the most visited places in Penang, Malaysia. With all the international travel I’d done, in truth I’d always treated it more like as top for necessary and urgent breaks, rather than a proper destination. (在意大利处理完母亲的事务后,我决定前往马来西亚槟城市游客最多的地方之一的槟城岛。对于我所做的所有国际旅行,事实上,我总是把它当作必要和紧急休息的首选,而不是一个合适的目的地)”可知,作者把槟榔岛看作是一个必要的休息点。故选D。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,并结合最后一段的“18 months passing, I look back on the time spent in the natural world and timeless environment, knowing I’ve pulled through.(18个月过去了,回首在自然世界和永恒环境中度过的时光,我知道我已经度过了难关)”可知,作者通过在自然中度过时光终于走出了失去母亲以及没能在母亲最需要时陪伴她的痛苦。由此推知,作者通过本文想告诉我们自然帮助她克服了悲伤。故选C。
C篇
Do you ever talk to yourself Although it’s not always a conscious habit, most of us practice self-talk on a daily basis.
Research shows that self-talk can increase productivity, motivation and confidence, and even help manage feelings. “There is solid evidence that self-talk strategies improve learning and performance,” according to sport psychologist Antonis Hatzigeorgiadis, who studies the phenomenon of self-talk.
He explains that there are generally three reasons why we practice self-talk: to instruct, to motivate or to evaluate. Instructional self-talk happens when we need to guide ourselves through a specific task, such as learning a new skill. Motivational self-talk usually is used when we want to prepare ourselves for something challenging; it can help to increase confidence. Evaluative self-talk mostly is related to past events or actions.
Hatzigeorgiadis stresses that if we want to use such self-talk to good advantage, it needs to be short, precise and, most of all, consistent. Of course, self-talk also can be ineffective and even detrimental if it’s not done right.
“It is a matter of personal preference or what works for each person; but generally, it is advised that self-talk be positively rather than negatively phrased and focus on what you should do rather than on what you should avoid,” Hatzigeorgiadis says. So, for example, it would be better to say “stay cool” instead of “don’t get upset”. Although both instructions convey the same meaning, you should use positive words rather than negative ones. In this way you can avoid ill results.
Another thing that can make a difference when practicing self-talk is the way you address yourself. According to the research published in Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, using “you” rather than “I” when talking to yourself tends to be more effective. The researchers explain that when you think of yourself as another person, it allows you to give more objective and useful feedback(反馈).
8. What does the author say about self-talk
A. It is a daily habit for everyone. B. It can make people feel better.
C. It may help strengthen memory. D. It is always an unconscious behavior.
9. What can be concluded from Hatzigeorgiadis’ explanation
A. Self-talk occurs in different situations. B. Self-talk usually makes one brave.
C. Selftalk arises with various feelings. D. Self-talk is closely linked with a certain task.
10. What does the underlined word “detrimental” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Confusing. B. Useless. C. Harmful. D. Unbearable.
11. What do the last two paragraphs focus on
A. How to vary self-talk. B. What to do with self-talk.
C. How to benefit from self-talk. D. What to express in self-talk.
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. C 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章探讨了人们自言自语的原因和什么样的自言自语才更有效。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第二段“Research shows that self-talk can increase productivity, motivation and confidence, and even help manage feelings.(研究表明,自言自语可以提高工作效率、动力和信心,甚至有助于管理情绪。)”可知,自言自语可以让人们感觉更好。故选B项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第三段“He explains that there are generally three reasons why we practice self-talk: to instruct, to motivate or to evaluate. Instructional self-talk happens when we need to guide ourselves through a specific task, such as learning a new skill. Motivational self-talk usually is used when we want to prepare ourselves for something challenging; it can help to increase confidence. Evaluative self-talk mostly is related to past events or actions.(他解释说,我们练习自我对话通常有三个原因:指导、激励或评价。当我们需要指导自己完成一项特定的任务时,例如学习一项新技能时,就会发生教学式的自我对话。动机性自我对话通常用于当我们想要为一些具有挑战性的事情做准备的时候,它可以帮助我们增加自信。评价性自我对话主要与过去的事件或行为有关。当我们需要指导自己完成一项特定任务时,比如学习一项新技能,就会进行自我指导。当我们想为挑战做好准备时,通常会使用动机式自言自语)”可知,自言自语会在不同的情况下发生。故选A项。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段划线词上文“Of course, self-talk also can be ineffective (当然,自言自语也可能是无效的)”及下文“if it’s not done right(如果使用不当)”可推知,自言自语有时候没有效果,如果使用不当甚至有害。由此推知,划线词detrimental与harmful(有害的)意思相同。故选C项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。由文章倒数第二段“but generally, it is advised that self-talk be positively rather than negatively phrased and focus on what you should do rather than on what you should avoid(但一般来说,建议自言自语应该是积极的,而不是消极的,关注你应该做什么,而不是应该避免什么)”以及最后一段“ According to the research published in Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, using “you” rather than “I” when talking to yourself tends to be more effective. (根据发表在《个性与社会心理学杂志》上的研究,与自己交谈时用“你”而不是“我”往往更有效。)”可知,最后两段主要在给读者一些建议让读者更好从自言自语中获益。故选C项。
D篇
Do you need a human to create a beautiful perfume That’s the question being asked as artificial intelligence(AI) starts to enter the perfume industry. Companies are increasingly turning to technology in order to create more best-selling, unique perfumes that can be produced in just minutes.
Last year, Swiss-based perfume developer Givaudan launched Carto, an AI-powered tool to help perfumers. Using a touch screen, the perfumers can choose one from 1,500 ingredients and put it in a bottle without touching them and pull together different perfumes using data from the brands vast library of perfume formulas. A small robot immediately processes the fragrances into perfumes, making it easier for perfumers to test their new perfumes.
One benefit of Carto is that with it, perfume samples are created instantly, giving them a competitive advantage. “We can adjust the perfume almost live with the customer,” says Cal ice Becker, vice president perfumer and director of the Givaudan Perfumery School. “It is a big plus not just because we gain time but there's more closeness when we connect in front of the tool.”
German perfume house Symrise has gone one step further and teamed up with IBM Research to create an AI system called Philyra, which actually studies the perfume formulas and customer data to produce new perfumes. Like Carto, Philyra can’t actually smell anything. Claire Viola, vice president of digital strategy fragrance at Symrise, is the first to agree it hasn't been without weakness. If s machine-learning and sometimes the results are wrongs she says. “You have to qualify every new material, so it understands the difference between different perfumes, for example.”
Margaux Caron, global beauty analyst for colour cosmetics and perfumes at believes artificial intelligence is a powerful tool to create perfumes. “Technology and science are sometimes pictured and considered cold, but the perfume category is displaying a warm, emotional, human approach to it. The partnership between AI and perfumers is anchored in this philosophy,” she said.
12. What is the advantage of Carto
A. It can be used to test perfumes. B. It can tell perfume ingredients apart.
C. It frees perfumers totally from the task. D. It helps tailor perfumes to customers’ needs.
13. What can we infer from Claire Viola’s words
A. Philyra needs to be improved. B. Philyra has a sharp sense of smell.
C. Philyra’s study result is accurate. D. Philyra’s good with new materials.
14. What’s Margaux Caron's attitude towards using AI
A. Supportive. B. Objective. C. Concerned. D. Skeptical.
15. Why does the author write the text
A. To introduce new perfume brands. B. To explain how to make perfumes by AI.
C. To discuss AFS strengths and weaknesses. D. To show application of AI in making perfumes.
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. A 15. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了总部位于瑞士的香水开发商Givaudan推出了一款名为Carto的人工智能工具,以帮助香水制造商制作香水,介绍了其制作流程、优势以及人们对此的看法。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中““We can adjust the perfume almost live with the customer,” says Cal ice Becker, vice president perfumer and director of the Givaudan Perfumery School. “It is a big plus not just because we gain time but there's more closeness when we connect in front of the tool.”(Givaudan香水学校副校长兼主任Cal ice Becker说:“我们可以根据顾客的喜好调整香水。这是一个很大的优势,不仅因为我们赢得了时间,而且当我们在工具前联系时,会有更多的亲密感”)”可知,Carto的优势是它可以帮助定制香水以满足顾客的需求。故选D。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“Claire Viola, vice president of digital strategy fragrance at Symrise, is the first to agree it hasn't been without weakness. If s machine-learning and sometimes the results are wrongs she says. “You have to qualify every new material, so it understands the difference between different perfumes, for example.”(Symrise公司数字战略香水部副总裁Claire Viola是第一个同意它并非没有弱点的人。她说,如果是机器学习,有时结果是错误的。“你必须对每一个新材料进行鉴定,例如,让它了解不同香水之间的区别)”可推知,Claire Viola认为Philyra需要改进。故选A。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Margaux Caron, global beauty analyst for colour cosmetics and perfumes at believes artificial intelligence is a powerful tool to create perfumes. “Technology and science are sometimes pictured and considered cold, but the perfume category is displaying a warm, emotional, human approach to it. The partnership between AI and perfumers is anchored in this philosophy,” she said.(彩妆和香水全球美容分析师Margaux Caron认为,人工智能是制造香水的强大工具。“技术和科学有时被描绘成冷漠的形象,但香水类展现了温暖、感性和人性化的一面。 人工智能和香水制造商之间的合作就植根于这一理念。”)”可推知,Margaux Caron对使用人工智能持支持态度。故选A。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“That’s the question being asked as artificial intelligence(AI) starts to enter the perfume industry. Companies are increasingly turning to technology in order to create more best-selling, unique perfumes that can be produced in just minutes.(随着人工智能开始进入香水行业,人们开始提出这个问题。为了在几分钟内制造出更畅销、更独特的香水,越来越多的公司开始依靠科技)”以及第二段中“Last year, Swiss-based perfume developer Givaudan launched Carto, an AI-powered tool to help perfumers. (去年,总部位于瑞士的香水开发商奇华顿Givaudan推出了一款名为Carto的人工智能工具,以帮助香水制造商)”结合文章主要说明了总部位于瑞士的香水开发商Givaudan推出了一款名为Carto的人工智能工具,以帮助香水制造商制作香水,介绍了其制作流程、优势以及人们对此的看法。可推知,作者写文章的目的是展示人工智能在制造香水中的应用。故选D。

With schools closing and big events cancelled in Europe, your child probably has questions and concerns about COVID-19. That can be tough to talk about, but kids need to feel safe. ___16___ Here're some tips from a family medicine physician on how to talk to children about COVID-19.
First of all, stay calm. ___17___ If you're showing panic or anxiety, so will they. Instead, confirm their concerns to show that you understand why they might be nervous-and that a little nervousness is OK. It's important for them to know that there's no need to panic. Then talk calmly about what's happening, and tell them people are working very hard to make things better.
___18___ One of the best ways to calm children is to let them believe they can protect not just themselves-but other people as well. Tell them that when they follow the rules for staying healthy, that helps other people stay safe since the child won't be spreading the disease. This is their job-to do what they already know they should be doing to keep themselves and others healthy.
Meet children where they are. Very young children might not be asking any questions, and in that case there's no reason to discuss the topic. ___19___ Be honest and don't scare them or become alarmist. Limiting too much exposure to television reports and social media-especially the news that overstates the case-can help, since children usually have extremely active imagination. ___20___
A. Kids can pick up on how you are feeling.
B. Help them feel like they are involved.
C. Encourage kids to give a hand as volunteers.
D. Children are more likely to feel their lives will be in a mess.

That can be tough to talk about, but kids need to feel safe.(随着欧洲学校停课和大型活动取消,您的孩子可能会对COVID-19产生疑问和担忧。这说起来可能很难,但孩子们需要安全感)”以及后文“Here're some tips from a family medicine physician on how to talk to children about COVID-19.(以下是一位家庭内科医生提供的一些建议,教你如何与孩子谈论COVID-19)”可知,上文提到了孩子在疫情期间需要安全感,后文则提供了一些给成年人和孩子谈论COVID-19的建议,可推测本句是在说明成年人在孩子需要安全感这件事情上的作用,故E选项“值得信任的成年人的最大作用是帮助他们做到这一点”符合语境,故选E。
【17题详解】

Then talk calmly about what's happening, and tell them people are working very hard to make things better.(如果你表现出恐慌或焦虑,他们也会。相反,你应该证实他们的担心,并表明你理解他们为什么会紧张——一点点的紧张没有关系。让他们知道没有必要恐慌是很重要的。然后平静地谈论正在发生的事情,告诉他们人们正在非常努力地让事情变得更好)”可知,后文提到大人恐慌或焦虑,孩子也会有一样的情绪,说明孩子们也是可以了解大人的感受的。后文中they指代A选项中Kids。故A选项“孩子们可以了解你的感受”符合语境,故选A。

This is their job-to do what they already know they should be doing to keep themselves and others healthy.(安抚孩子最好的方法之一就是让他们相信他们不仅能保护自己,还能保护其他人。告诉他们,当他们遵守保持健康的规则时,这有助于其他人保持安全,因为孩子不会传播疾病。这是他们的工作——做他们已经知道应该做的事情,以保持自己和他人的健康)”可知,本段的中心思想是让孩子相信他们不仅能保护自己,还能保护其他人,也就是让孩子主动参与到防控疫情这件事情中来,故B选项“让他们觉得自己参与其中”符合语境,故选B。
【19题详解】
根据上文“Meet children where they are. Very young children might not be asking any questions, and in that case there's no reason to discuss the topic.(设身处地为孩子考虑。很小的孩子可能不会问任何问题,在这种情况下,就没有理由讨论这个话题)”以及后文“Be honest and don't scare them or become alarmist.(要诚实,不要吓唬他们,也不要危言耸听)”可知,上文提到了孩子不问问题就不讨论这个话题的情景,可推测本句应承接上文说明应对那些想要得知答案的孩子的办法,故F选项“但是不要羞于谈论那些想要答案的孩子们发生了什么”符合语境,故选F。

【42题详解】

【49题详解】
考查现在分词。句意:现在只有大约500只北方袋熊在野外生存。此处作定语,其逻辑主语northern wombats与survive是逻辑上的主谓关系,survive用现在分词表主动,做后置定语,修饰名词短语northern wombats。故填surviving。
【50题详解】

Last Friday, we held our five discussion about what to present in our annual school art festival. And we decide to invite an elderly man fond of playing the erhu near our school join us. His music was very beauty but couldn’t get any attention from the rush-hour passer-by. The big day finally arrived where our festival took place. As a special guest played, all of us were lost in his music. After his performance, we rose to applaud hardly. From this experience, I learned about that, to people like them, what really matters is not sympathy but more attention and appreciation, which will brighten their life.
【答案】1.five → fifth
2.decide → decided
3.join前加to
4.beauty → beautiful
5.passer-by → passers-by
6.where → when
7.a → the
8.hardly → hard

10.them → him
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇记叙文,讲述了我们邀请学校附近的一个喜欢拉二胡的老人参加学校艺术节。
【详解】1.考查序数词。句意:上周,我们进行了第五次讨论,讨论在今年的校艺术节呈现什么。此处指“第五次讨论”,故应用序数词fifth修饰名词discussion,故将five改为fifth。
2.考查时态。句意:我们决定邀请学校附近一个喜欢拉二胡的老人加入我们。根据上文中的“Last Friday”可知,此处陈述发生在过去的事情,应用一般过去时,故将decide改为decided。
3.考查介词。句意同上。此处意为“邀请某人做某事”,表达为invite sb. to do sth.,故在join前加to。
4.考查形容词。句意:他的音乐很美妙,但却无法得到高峰期过路人的注意。此处指他的音乐很动听,应用形容词“beautiful美好的,美妙的”作表语,故将beauty改为beautiful。
5.考查名词的数。句意同上。此处“passer-by过路人”为可数名词,且交通髙峰期的路人不止一个,故应用名词复数形式,故将passer-by改为passers-by。
6.考查定语从句。句意:艺术节这一天终于到来了。分析句子结构可知,此处在句中引导定语从句,先行词是The big day,且在从句中作时间状语,故应用关系副词when,故填where改为when。
7.考查冠词。句意:当这位特殊的客人演奏时,我们都沉浸在他的音乐里。此处特指上文提到的“an elderly man”,故应用定冠词the,故将an改为the。
8.考查副词。句意:在他表演结束后,我们所有人都站起来使劲儿地鼓掌。此处“使劲鼓掌”,故应用副词hard,修饰动词applaud,表示“用力地,使劲地”,故将hardly改为hard。
9.考查介词。句意:从这次经历,我知道,对于向他们这样的人,真正重要的不是同情,而且是更多的注意力和欣赏。分析句子结构可知,that引导宾语从句,learn作“知道,获悉”讲时,其后可直接跟that从句作宾语,故about多余,故去掉about。
10.考查代词。句意同上。此处指“像我们邀请的这位老人这样的人”,故应用him指代,故将them改为him。

When the news came that my mother was hospitalized for a heart attack, I was in Peru on a hiking trip. That evening, before I could board the plane to Italy, I was informed that she had passed away. Sadness and the feeling of not being there for my mother when she needed me most broke all excuses Id made up to stay away trying to make it as a “travel writer”. There wasn’t much I could do to stop that urge to denounce myself.
My mother Tundra stayed in her northern Italian world most of her life, where I always stood out as a freak and the one doing worthless silly things. But my stories from distant places aroused her curiosity and brought her comfort. To her, I was a courageous adventurer, and her words towards my achievements which are in sign if cant now pushed me forward on that unconventional path.
After handling my mother’s affairs in Italy, I decided to leave for Penang Island, one of the most visited places in Penang, Malaysia. With all the international travel I’d done, in truth I’d always treated it more like as top for necessary and urgent breaks, rather than a proper destination. Yet then, I missed its atmosphere that made me feel at home somehow.
Returning there I reconnected with backwoods by going on hikes. It was hard to put my feelings into words, but the rainforest held something uniquely comforting. This experience was similar to stepping into an ancient, purer world that made one consider human nature and problems. Besides, the sound of strange insects was almost like a language, whispering to me that I should let go of the past, and only focus on current life. Like an oil leak, that suffering fell out of me and into every footprint left.18 months passing, I look back on the time spent in the natural world and timeless environment, knowing I’ve pulled through.
4. What does the underlined word “denounce” mean in the first paragraph
A. Blame. B. Support. C. Doubt. D. Encourage.
5. What’s the attitude of the author’s mother to his travel
A. Worried. B. Favorable. C. Disapproving D. Excited.
6. What did Penang Island mean to the author in the past
A. A special second home. B. A hard-to-reach destination.
C A distant tourist attraction. D. A much-needed resting place.
7. What does the author intend to tell in the text
A. Hiking builds up his confidence. B. Penang is a good place to restart.
C. Nature helps him overcome sorrow. D. It’s important to live in the moment.
C篇
Do you ever talk to yourself Although it’s not always a conscious habit, most of us practice self-talk on a daily basis.
Research shows that self-talk can increase productivity, motivation and confidence, and even help manage feelings. “There is solid evidence that self-talk strategies improve learning and performance,” according to sport psychologist Antonis Hatzigeorgiadis, who studies the phenomenon of self-talk.
He explains that there are generally three reasons why we practice self-talk: to instruct, to motivate or to evaluate. Instructional self-talk happens when we need to guide ourselves through a specific task, such as learning a new skill. Motivational self-talk usually is used when we want to prepare ourselves for something challenging; it can help to increase confidence. Evaluative self-talk mostly is related to past events or actions.
Hatzigeorgiadis stresses that if we want to use such self-talk to good advantage, it needs to be short, precise and, most of all, consistent. Of course, self-talk also can be ineffective and even detrimental if it’s not done right.
“It is a matter of personal preference or what works for each person; but generally, it is advised that self-talk be positively rather than negatively phrased and focus on what you should do rather than on what you should avoid,” Hatzigeorgiadis says. So, for example, it would be better to say “stay cool” instead of “don’t get upset”. Although both instructions convey the same meaning, you should use positive words rather than negative ones. In this way you can avoid ill results.
Another thing that can make a difference when practicing self-talk is the way you address yourself. According to the research published in Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, using “you” rather than “I” when talking to yourself tends to be more effective. The researchers explain that when you think of yourself as another person, it allows you to give more objective and useful feedback(反馈).
8. What does the author say about self-talk
A. It is a daily habit for everyone. B. It can make people feel better.
C. It may help strengthen memory. D. It is always an unconscious behavior.
9. What can be concluded from Hatzigeorgiadis’ explanation
A. Self-talk occurs in different situations. B. Self-talk usually makes one brave.
C. Selftalk arises with various feelings. D. Self-talk is closely linked with a certain task.
10. What does the underlined word “detrimental” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Confusing. B. Useless. C. Harmful. D. Unbearable.
11. What do the last two paragraphs focus on
A. How to vary self-talk. B. What to do with self-talk.
C. How to benefit from self-talk. D. What to express in self-talk.
D篇
Do you need a human to create a beautiful perfume That’s the question being asked as artificial intelligence(AI) starts to enter the perfume industry. Companies are increasingly turning to technology in order to create more best-selling, unique perfumes that can be produced in just minutes.
Last year, Swiss-based perfume developer Givaudan launched Carto, an AI-powered tool to help perfumers. Using a touch screen, the perfumers can choose one from 1,500 ingredients and put it in a bottle without touching them and pull together different perfumes using data from the brands vast library of perfume formulas. A small robot immediately processes the fragrances into perfumes, making it easier for perfumers to test their new perfumes.
One benefit of Carto is that with it, perfume samples are created instantly, giving them a competitive advantage. “We can adjust the perfume almost live with the customer,” says Cal ice Becker, vice president perfumer and director of the Givaudan Perfumery School. “It is a big plus not just because we gain time but there's more closeness when we connect in front of the tool.”
German perfume house Symrise has gone one step further and teamed up with IBM Research to create an AI system called Philyra, which actually studies the perfume formulas and customer data to produce new perfumes. Like Carto, Philyra can’t actually smell anything. Claire Viola, vice president of digital strategy fragrance at Symrise, is the first to agree it hasn't been without weakness. If s machine-learning and sometimes the results are wrongs she says. “You have to qualify every new material, so it understands the difference between different perfumes, for example.”
Margaux Caron, global beauty analyst for colour cosmetics and perfumes at believes artificial intelligence is a powerful tool to create perfumes. “Technology and science are sometimes pictured and considered cold, but the perfume category is displaying a warm, emotional, human approach to it. The partnership between AI and perfumers is anchored in this philosophy,” she said.
12. What is the advantage of Carto
A. It can be used to test perfumes. B. It can tell perfume ingredients apart.
C. It frees perfumers totally from the task. D. It helps tailor perfumes to customers’ needs.
13. What can we infer from Claire Viola’s words
A. Philyra needs to be improved. B. Philyra has a sharp sense of smell.
C. Philyra’s study result is accurate. D. Philyra’s good with new materials.
14. What’s Margaux Caron's attitude towards using AI
A. Supportive. B. Objective. C. Concerned. D. Skeptical.
15. Why does the author write the text
A To introduce new perfume brands. B. To explain how to make perfumes by AI.
C. To discuss AFS strengths and weaknesses. D. To show application of AI in making perfumes.

With schools closing and big events cancelled in Europe, your child probably has questions and concerns about COVID-19. That can be tough to talk about, but kids need to feel safe. ___16___ Here're some tips from a family medicine physician on how to talk to children about COVID-19.
First of all, stay calm. ___17___ If you're showing panic or anxiety, so will they. Instead, confirm their concerns to show that you understand why they might be nervous-and that a little nervousness is OK. It's important for them to know that there's no need to panic. Then talk calmly about what's happening, and tell them people are working very hard to make things better.
___18___ One of the best ways to calm children is to let them believe they can protect not just themselves-but other people as well. Tell them that when they follow the rules for staying healthy, that helps other people stay safe since the child won't be spreading the disease. This is their job-to do what they already know they should be doing to keep themselves and others healthy.
Meet children where they are. Very young children might not be asking any questions, and in that case there's no reason to discuss the topic. ___19___ Be honest and don't scare them or become alarmist. Limiting too much exposure to television reports and social media-especially the news that overstates the case-can help, since children usually have extremely active imagination. ___20___
A. Kids can pick up on how you are feeling.
B. Help them feel like they are involved.
C. Encourage kids to give a hand as volunteers.
D. Children are more likely to feel their lives will be in a mess.
E. The biggest role of the trusted adults is helping them to do that.
F. But don't shy away from talking about what's happening to those kids wanting answers.

Last Friday, we held our five discussion about what to present in our annual school art festival. And we decide to invite an elderly man fond of playing the erhu near our school join us. His music was very beauty but couldn’t get any attention from the rush-hour passer-by. The big day finally arrived where our festival took place. As a special guest played, all of us were lost in his music. After his performance, we rose to applaud hardly. From this experience, I learned about that, to people like them, what really matters is not sympathy but more attention and appreciation, which will brighten their life.
