When Lily Born was just 7,she noticed her grandfather,who has Parkinson’s disease,was knocking over his cup a lot.Lily felt bad her grandmother had to clean up spills (洒出物) so often.
Lily thought his cup would be less prone to spill if it had “legs”,so she drew a picture of such a cup for her dad,Joe Born.“He took it seriously and told me,‘That’s your invention.Sign and date it,’which I did,” she said.“We went to Grandma and Grandpa’s house and made a prototype.This was just a plastic one,but it worked!” Later,Lily noticed her dad was always spilling coffee on his computer’s keyboard,so she made him a ceramic cup with legs.He loved it,too.
Though her family enjoyed using the cups,Lily didn’t see them as more than gifts and didn’t place much value on them.She was also struggling in school.“I was afraid of failing fourth grade.It had kind of destroyed my confidence,to be honest,” Lily said.“One day I asked my dad,‘What am I good at ’ He asked me if I wanted to put the cups into production.It would make me see being an inventor was a real thing and something to be proud of.”
The Borns flew to Jingdezhen,China to find a factory that would produce the cups and make more prototypes.“We’ve sold something like 1,000 cups,” Lily said.“People are buying them for elderly relatives and people with mobility issues.”

If you frequently google language-related questions,you’ve probably seen an advertisement for Grammarly,an automated grammar-checker.Grammarly claims that it has the ability not only to fix mistakes,but also to improve style and polish too.Does it achieve what it claims to Maybe not.
Artificial-intelligence systems like Grammarly are trained with data.Developers also manually add certain rules to the patterns Grammarly has taught itself.The software then looks at a user’s essay:if a string of words seems ungrammatical,it tries to spot how the acknowledged mistake most closely resembles one from its training inputs.
All this shows how far artificial intelligence (AI) is from the human puters outsmart humans at problems that can be solved with pure maths,such as chess.Advances in language technology have been impressive in,for example,speech recognition,which involves another sort of statistical guess—whether or not a stretch of sound matches a certain string of words.
But grammar is the real magic of language.And machines are no match for puters can analyze grammatical sentences fairly well,labeling things like nouns and verb phrases.But they struggle with sentences that are difficult to analyze,precisely because they are ungrammatical.
To correct such essays requires knowing what the writer intended.But computers don’t work in meaning or intention.They work in formulae.Humans,by contrast,can usually understand even rather damaged syntax,because of the ability to guess the contents of other minds.Grammar-checking computers focus on not how bad humans are with language,but just how good.
28.What’s the text mainly about
A.What AI system Grammarly is.
B.What problem AI has with grammar.
C.How AI system works on grammar.
D.How AI outsmarts humans in language.
29.Why do computers outsmart mankind at chess
A.Because they are trained with data.
B.Because they have taught themselves.
C.Because they easily spot mistakes.
D.Because maybe sound matches words.
30.Which of the following can be done well by AI
A.Analyzing ungrammatical sentences.
B.Figuring out meaning and intention.
C.Identifying nouns and verb phrases.
D.Understanding damaged syntax.
31.What’s the writer’s attitude toward grammar-checking computers
A.Doubtful. B.Favorable.
C.Indifferent. D.Worried.

主题语境:人与社会　语篇类型:说明文
Scientists from Imperial College London have found that using virtual reality (VR) headsets can reduce sensitivity to pain,by immersing (沉浸) people in icy Arctic scenery.In a study published in Pain Reports,a team from Imperial used VR video to reduce people’s sensitivity to ongoing pain and sharp shooting pain.
According to the researchers,the findings add to the growing evidence for the potential of VR technology to help patients with long-term pain.Beyond the distracting effect,they think VR may actually cause the body’s own inbuilt pain-fighting systems to start working.
Dr Sam Hughes,the first author on the paper,said,“Our work suggests that VR may be getting involved in processes in the key parts of our inbuilt pain-fighting systems and are helpful in regulating the spread of increased sensitivity to pain.”
To test their theory,researchers applied a cream containing capsaicin (辣椒素)—the chemical that makes your mouth bum—to 15 healthy volunteers.The capsaicin makes the skin more sensitive to painful stimuli (刺激) like a very small electric shock.
In the first trial,participants were then asked to rate the pain caused by the capsaicin cream on a scale of 0-100 (from “no pain” to “worst pain possible”) while either watching a VR scene of Arctic exploration through a headset,or looking at a still image of an Arctic scene on a monitor.Under the same conditions,they were also asked to say when a stimulus applied directly to the skin area is considered as painful.
The team found that ongoing pain was reduced following VR immersion,and that sensitivity to painful stimuli was also reduced.However,the same effect was not seen in people who looked at still images of the polar environment.
They explain that while the findings made at the beginning are encouraging,the study is limited by the small number of healthy participants,without long-term pain.However,the researchers believe VR could hold a bright future to treat patients with long-term pain who have poor inbuilt pain fighting systems.
32.How can VR possibly help long-term pain sufferers
A.By making their pain-fighting systems function.
B.By drawing their attention to fighting pain.
C.By controlling the spread of pain sensitivity.
D.By slowing down their brains’ reaction to pain.
33.Which step comes first in their theory testing
A.Making a capsaicin cream.
B.Putting on virtual reality headsets.
C.Applying capsaicin cream to the skin.
D.Looking at pictures on a computer screen.
34.What conclusion can be drawn from the trial
A.Still images helped to ease people’s pain.
B.VR immersion was the key factor in pain reduction.
C.Healthy people were less sensitive to VR than pain sufferers.
D.Capsaicin cream brought people more pain than electronic stimulus.
35.What does the last paragraph imply
A.The team feels confident about future VR treatment.
B.The researchers will work on the side effect of VR.
C.VR treatment can be applied in other medical fields.
D.The trial only has an effect on short-term pain patients.

To many of us,art is obviously a kind of human expression of creativity.But in recent years,you may have read news about artificial intelligence (AI) creating its own art,such as painting or writing poems.Some people worry that AI might someday replace artists.
　36　 Many artists today are turning AI into a useful tool.Instead of replacing artists,AI is bringing artists more possibilities.
A piece of music created by AI recently attracted attention.AI was used to turn the novel virus into a piece of nearly two-hour long music based on its protein structure.The project was led by Markus Buehler,an American musician and MIT professor of engineering.He assigned (指定) a unique note to each amino acid (氨基酸) in the protein.　37　
Listeners found the project to be “mind-blowing”.“It allows me to see the virus from a new angle,” said one listener.　38　 As The Verge wrote,“AI helps artists play around in unpredictable ways,creating things beyond what they have ever thought was possible before.”
　39　 For example,in the comic and animation industries,there are now AI tools that can automatically (自动地) colour in black-and-white line drawings.Although the results can be unpredictable and require a little cleanup,it “could give artists room to experiment,by cutting down the time it takes to colour each frame (画面)”,said Joao Do Lago,animator of Netflix’s Castlevania.
As Peter Ward wrote for The Culture Trip,art of every kind has always been influenced by technological breakthroughs.　40　
A.The AI then translated these notes into music.
B.AI has become an important part of our everyday life.
C.But this worry seems to be unnecessary,at least for now.
D.AI can become a useful tool to bring change to the art world.
E.Besides the music industry,AI has entered the world of poetry as well.
F.This surprising marriage between science and art could not be achieved without AI.
G.Apart from co-creating imaginative works,AI can also help artists avoid repeating tasks.

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Goal!
Seconds later,the referee blew the whistle.Came over.
“We won!” Jordan shouted out,leaping into the air.
“Championship game,here we come!” said Tara,slapping hands with Devin.“Can’t wait till Thursday.”
Devin grinned.Thursday would be huge—the big soccer game in the afternoon,and the school’s autumn concert in the evening.Ms Poltis had chosen Devin to sing brief solo (独唱).
“Great work,” Coach said as the team gathered.“Be here by 6:30 on Thursday to warm up.”
“Six thirty ” Devin said.That didn’t sound right.
“It’s a night game,” Coach explained.“Under the lights.”
“Playing at night will be so cool,” Tara said.“Under the bright stadium lights.”
Devin’s heart sank.The concert was at 7:00.Same time as the game.He couldn’t possibly do both.
Devin’s teammates were super excited.They were on the edge of a title,and Devin was a big reason why.He led the league in scoring,and his soccer knowledge made him like a coach on the field.He couldn’t let his team down by skipping the game.
That night,Devin lay in bed,staring at the ceiling.Finally,he turned on his light.He picked up a sheet of paper from his desk.After reading the words,he shut his eyes and sang them:
“No matter how hard the struggle,I will never let you down...”
The solo was only four lines in the middle of a song the entire choir (合唱团) would sing.Devin knew the words by heart,but the thought of singing alone made him shiver(颤抖).Sometimes he was nervous about taking part in sports,too,but that always went away as soon as a game started.He’d never sung a solo before.It was a relief to know he didn’t have to now.The soccer game was perfect excuse.His team was perfect excuse.His team was counting on him.
But so was Ms Poltis.
Devin crawled back into bed.It was a long time before he fell asleep.
In the morning,Devin hardly ate any breakfast.
At school,he went straight to the music room.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
He felt sorry to tell Ms Poltis that he’d miss the concert.





On Thursday evening,Devin warmed up slowly.

写作
第一节
Dear Peter,
I’m happy to hear from you.Just as you have learned,artificial intelligence is now widely used in China.Here I’d like to share with you what I experienced during the week-long National Day holiday.
When travelling,we were amazed at the changes and convenience brought by artificial intelligence.First of all,wherever and whenever we went,we could use the mobile payment.More interesting,we no longer had to get into tourist attractions with the ID card.We could do it through a face recognition app now,which really saved time so that we didn’t have to wait in queue.What an amazing experience!
I do hope you can come to China and experience all of this when you have spare time.Looking forward to your coming.
Yours truly,
Li Hua
第二节

On Thursday evening, Devin warmed up slowly.He took a deep breath.So many people had come to watch tonight.In a few moments,all eyes would be on him.He’d made a difficult choice.There would be other concerts.And other championship games.The bright lights came on.Devin stayed calm.He sang with confidence.“No matter how hard the struggle...” Devin finished the solo and smiled at Ms Poltis.He was proud of the choice he’d made.
