Above all,learn to swim.If you can’t swim,don’t go into the water. You can take a swimming class. Swimming is much easier than you may think. Classes are available at schools and our sports centers.

The two of you can watch out for each other. If something happens, one of you can go and get help. Finally, be careful. Choose to swim in areas with lifeguards. If you need help, the lifeguard can help you. When you play in the water, don’t push or jump on others. Boating is another way to enjoy the water. But when you’re in a boat, wear a life jacket. If you falI into the deep water, you will be safe with that. In short, enjoy the water, but remember to do it safely and welcome to learn from me!

Samir Lakhani’s enthusiasm for social work began when he studied environmental science at the University of Pittsburgh. Required to complete an internship, he traveled to Cambodia to study the effects of climate change on communities that had lived off the land for centuries.
While studying in Cambodia, he saw something he would never forget: a village woman bathing her newborn son with detergent. “It is a harsh and toxic alternative to the piece of soap that should never be used on the skin,” Lakhani remembered. “The baby was crying. I didn’t know what I could do, but as I returned to my hotel room and stepped into the bathroom, I realized that my housekeeper had thrown away the piece of soap I had hardly touched.”
That brief experience was a turning point for him and then he founded the nonprofit Eco-Soap Bank. “We shouldn’t live in a world where more than 2 million children die per year because of diseases that could easily be stopped by washing hands,” Lakhani stated.
Since 2014, Eco-Soap Bank has employed more than 150 economically disadvantaged women in ten developing countries to recycle leftover hotel soap. These women sanitize the soap and give the new product to people in need. “During the COVID-19 pandemic period, hotel occupancy has dropped and hotels are closing, so we need to change our recycling form,” he says. Lakhani is now reaching out to soap producers from all over the world, asking them if they would like to give scraps to Eco-Soap Bank, a natural byproduct from the production line. He said, “On average, 10% of all soap is wasted before it even hits stores’ shelves. We have recycled and reproduced 1.5 million pieces of soap in the last two months, and this is all female-powered, because that’s our duty.”
However, during the pandemic, the way to transport the soap to where it is needed for people puzzles Lakhani. He is trying to solve this problem and needs more help.
56. What does Paragraph 2 talk about?
A. How Eco-Soap Bank works.
B. How Cambodian people usually bathe.
C. What made Lakhani establish Eco-Soap Bank.
D. Why Lakhani chose Cambodia as the internship place.
57. How does Lakhani change the recycling form during the COVID-19 pandemic period?
A. By asking for scraps from soap producers. B. By paying out of his own pocket for soap.
C. By producing soap with a production line. D. By employing more women to recycle soap.
58. What might be a problem Lakhani is faced with now?
A. How to protect the soap during the transportation.
B. How to get the soap to where it needs to be.
C. When to send the soap to developing countries.
D. How to give guidance on sanitizing the leftover soap.
59. Which words can best describe Samir Lakhani?
A. Traditional, awesome and warm-hearted. B. Thoughtful, clever but unfriendly.
C. Careful, knowledgeable and honest. D. Kind, intelligent and responsible.
60. Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A. How Sanitized Soap Can be Used B. How Hotel Soap Can be Recycled
C. How Recycling Hotel Soap Can Save Lives D. How Reproducing Soap Scraps Can Save Money
【答案】56. C 57. A 58. B 59. D 60. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了Samir Lakhani通过建立非营利组织，回收酒店肥皂来拯救生命的故事。
【56题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“While studying in Cambodia, he saw something he would never forget: a village woman bathing her newborn son with detergent. “It is a harsh and toxic alternative to the piece of soap that should never be used on the skin,” Lakhani remembered. “The baby was crying. I didn’t know what I could do, but as I returned to my hotel room and stepped into the bathroom, I realized that my housekeeper had thrown away the piece of soap I had hardly touched.”(在柬埔寨学习期间，他看到了一些他永远不会忘记的事情：一个农村妇女用洗涤剂给她刚出生的儿子洗澡。拉克哈尼回忆说：“它是肥皂的替代品，刺激性强，有毒，永远不应该用在皮肤上。”婴儿在哭。我不知道我能做什么，但当我回到酒店房间，走进浴室时，我意识到我的管家把我几乎没碰过的那块肥皂扔掉了。”)”可知，第二段讲了Lakhani建立生态肥皂银行的原因。故选C。
【57题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段““During the COVID-19 pandemic period, hotel occupancy has dropped and hotels are closing, so we need to change our recycling form,” he says.Lakhani is now reaching out to soap producers from all over the world, asking them if they would like to give scraps to Eco-Soap Bank, a natural byproduct from the production line.(他说：“在新冠肺炎大流行期间，酒店入住率下降，酒店正在关闭，所以我们需要改变我们的回收形式。”拉克哈尼现在正在联系世界各地的肥皂生产商，询问他们是否愿意把生产线上的天然副产品——肥皂废料——捐给生态肥皂银行。)”可知，在COVID-19大流行期间，Lakhani在酒店收不到足够的肥皂，通过向肥皂生产商索要肥皂残渣来改变回收形式。故选A。
【58题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“However, during the pandemic, the way to transport the soap to where it is needed for people puzzles Lakhani. He is trying to solve this problem and needs more help.(然而，在大流行期间，如何将肥皂运送到人们需要的地方让Lakhani感到困惑。他正在努力解决这个问题，需要更多的帮助)”可知，Lakhani现在面临的问题可能是如何把肥皂送到需要的地方。故选B。
【59题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Samir Lakhani’s enthusiasm for social work began when he studied environmental science at the University of Pittsburgh.( Samir Lakhani对社会工作的热情始于他在匹兹堡大学学习环境科学时)”；第三段中“That brief experience was a turning point for him and then he founded the nonprofit Eco-Soap Bank.(这段短暂的经历对他来说是一个转折点，然后他创立了非营利的生态肥皂银行)”以及倒数第二段中“We have recycled and reproduced 1.5 million pieces of soap in the last two months, and this is all female-powered, because that’s our duty.(在过去的两个月里，我们已经回收和再生产了150万块肥皂，这都是由女性推动的，因为这是我们的责任)”可推知，Samir Lakhani善良、聪明、有责任心。故选D。
【60题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段的“That brief experience was a turning point for him and then he founded the nonprofit Eco-Soap Bank.(这段短暂的经历对他来说是一个转折点，然后他创立了非营利的生态肥皂银行。)”和第四段中“Since 2014, Eco-Soap Bank has employed more than 150 economically disadvantaged women in ten developing countries to recycle leftover hotel soap. These women sanitize the soap and give the new product to people in need.(自2014年以来，生态肥皂银行已经在10个发展中国家雇用了150多名经济困难的妇女来回收酒店剩余的肥皂。这些妇女给肥皂消毒，把新产品送给有需要的人)”结合文章主要说明了Samir Lakhani通过建立非营利组织，回收酒店肥皂来拯救生命。故C选项“回收酒店肥皂是如何拯救生命的”最符合文章标题。故选C。
C
Research has shown that behavioral signaling is largely universal — not only across cultures, but across species. Based on this knowledge, Cogito Corp has created an artificial intelligence (AI) technology to analyze behavioral and vocal cues to provide in-the-moment guidance during conversations, making individuals more emotionally intelligent.
“Artificial intelligence continues to have a transformational effect across industries. One area we see specific accelerated advancement in with this technology, is machine learning,” said Dr. John Kane of Cogito. “Much of the advancement in machine learning is due to the fact that it’s not far removed from our daily lives. Take Amazon’s Alexa as a household example: Alexa can recognize and respond to whispered speech for voice commands, made possible through machine learning advancement,”Kane continued. He also pointed out that “media has built unrealistic expectations in the minds of the general public when it comes to AI, where in fact, machine learning algorithms are still generally developed for narrowly defined purposes.”
Cogito was founded with the mission of helping humans communicate with more emotional intelligence. Presently, it helps individuals across enterprise-level organizations, mainly in the insurance, healthcare and financial service industries, create stronger customer service outcomes with the help of the Cogito AI coach. “Our goal is to provide in-the-moment guidance to individuals within enterprise call centers so they can adjust their behavior and improve customer experiences,” Kane said.
Cogito’s AI technology aims to offer a win-win-win model for companies — improving agent performance so that employees are more occupied with their work, customers are more satisfied and the company is more productive. Cogito’s in-the-moment guidance identifies patterns and cues that may be easily overlooked, giving consistent recommendations to agents in real time. This focused level of analysis helps managers coach high-performing agents to be more consistent and low-performing agents to identify areas for improvement — positively impacting companies.
Looking to the future, Cogito’s CEO and co-founder, Joshua Feast, sees an opportunity to own the AI coaching space. AI coaches guide humans to improve their individual and team performance, resulting in a more productive, emotionally intelligent and successful workforce.
61. What’s the main reason for machine learning’s advancement?
A. Its connections with our daily lives.
B. Its being a basic area of AI technology.
C. An increasing demand for the technology.
D. Media’s efforts to promote the technology.
62. What do you know about AI from Kane’s words?
A. It has wider uses than expected.
B. What it can do now may be overestimated.
C. It is far from familiar to the public.
D. Most advanced AI technologies remain unknown to the public.
63. Why was Cogito established?
A. To bring greater advancement in machine learning.
B. To reveal the behavioral differences between humans.
C. To make humans more emotionally intelligent in conversations.
D. To help companies monitor and measure employees’ work performance.
64. Where is Cogito’s AI technology mainly applied?
A. In small companies.
B. In educational agencies.
C. In international trading.
D. In the service industry.
65. What can be inferred about Cogito’s AI technology?
A. It faces a lot of challenges.
B. It seems to have a bright future.
C. It may replace the human workforce sooner or later.
D. It is disadvantageous to low-performing employees.

If you are ever planning to buy a telescope and want to get yourself involved in astronomy, it is always a good idea to know a bit of the sky. Know about a few constellations (星座) so that it will be easier for you to recognize the constellations when you are using your telescope.
It’s a good idea to buy a few astronomy magazines to help you know about the constellations in the sky and also read a few comments on different types of telescopes on the market. This will help you gather all the information that is out there regarding telescopes and what people say about them.
It’s advisable to go in for a pair of binoculars (双筒望远镜) which are very easy to carry and use before you buy your first telescope so that you can get used to locating constellations before your view of the sky is narrowed down. This will also help you know if you really want to get involved in astronomy. Many people buy a costly telescope and then discover that they’re not actually interested in astronomy.
It’s an obvious truth that experience has no replacement, and there certainly is nothing better than using different telescopes before you buy one, which will help you to get the feel of all the types of telescopes and you will know which one is easier for you to use. A large aperture refractor telescope (大口径折射望远镜) may give you an excellent picture but you may not be able to hold it firmly while using it, which may result in an unclear picture.
There are three types of telescopes that are available on the market. The first type of telescope is the refractor telescope, which provides a good picture but is not as easy to carry as the other two types of telescopes and so you will have to buy one with a small aperture. The second type of telescope is the reflecting telescope, invented by Isaac Newton.There is no added color in the picture caused by refraction of light. This type of telescope is easy to carry and the cheapest of all. The third type of telescope is known as the catadioptric telescope (折反射望远镜), which is the smallest type of all the telescopes and is more popular among astronomers.
66. What will be required if one wants to use a telescope effectively?
A. The patience to search for constellations.
B. The ability to recognize constellations.
C. The desire to learn about the history of telescopes.
D. The willingness to listen to others’ comments.
67. What can we learn from Paragraph 2?
A. One must know something about astronomy and telescopes.
B. One can’t buy a telescope without buying several astronomy magazines.
C. One should check the telescopes on the market and try to find a better one.
D. One must be familiar with new information of astronomy and space instruments.
68. What does one need to do before buying a telescope?
A. To seek advice from some experienced telescope users.
B. To get used to using at least one type of telescope.
C. To know whether he is really interested in astronomy.
D. To bargain with the seller over the price of the telescope.
69. Generally speaking, which type of telescope is the biggest in size?
A. Binoculars.
B. The catadioptric telescope.
C. The reflecting telescope.
D. The refractor telescope.
70. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. An Introduction to Astronomy
B. Buying A Telescope For the First Time
C. The Competitive Market of Telescopes
D. The Advantages and Disadvantages of Several Telescopes
【答案】66. B 67. A 68. C 69. D 70. B
【解析】

(这是一个显而易见的事实，经验是没有替代品的，当然没有什么比在购买之前使用不同的望远镜更好的了，这将帮助你获得所有类型的望远镜的感觉，你会知道哪一种更容易使用。)”可知，本文旨在给读者提供建议，在购买望远镜之前，要多做了解，做好准备工作。故选B项。

Do you scan yourself in your early 20s already dressed in a smart suit as well as using a company phone? Currently more and more young people have been looking for internships (实习生职位) rather than Saturday jobs. But should people be expected to do a proper job at all while they’re still young?
For many, weekend or evening work is a rite of passage that may involve cleaning toilets, milking cows or operating the machine that puts jam into a doughnut.
Plentiful teenagers or students aren’t impressive in holding down a part-time job. But it’s a opportunity to try to experience the world of work and take a crucial first step into adulthood.
But the number of young people doing a Saturday job has decreased by a half in 15 years, according to the UK Commission for Employment and Skills. It’s economic downturn that has kept it rough for young people to find any kind of job. And many enterprises put forward higher requirement, which are associated with this phenomenon as well. For those seeking a career, there is now greater pressure to choose professional jobs and get work experience.
Those who go on to successful careers often mention their days of waiting tables or picking fruit as experiences of growth. Actor Sean Connery may have the 007 role as a protuberance on his CV while he embarked on working as a milkman when only 14. George Clooney once strove for selling women’s shoes.
What is a proper job? White collar work is a golden job that a host of people want to obtain and professionals in finance, advertising, journalism and the law often work exceedingly long hours. However, there is a sense that sitting at a desk all one’s life is not always real work in the same way as some other jobs are.
Dr Paul Sissons, senior researcher at the Work Foundation, argues that the solid choice to realised occupation triumph could be getting eminent grades. He says that formal qualifications still influence employers’ decision.
71. According to the passage, what are the examples given of Saturday jobs? (no more than 15 words)
____________________________________________________
72. What’s made it more difficult for young people to find a job? (no more than 8 words)
____________________________________________________
73. What does the underlined word “protuberance” in Paragraph 5 probably mean? (1 word)
____________________________________________________
74. According to an expert mentioned in the article what could be the best way of achieving career success? (no more than 5 words)
____________________________________________________
75. As a student who will step into the society, how do you plan for your future career? (no more than 25 words)
____________________________________________________
【答案】71. Cleaning toilets, milking cows or operating the machine that puts jam into a doughnut.
72. The economic downturn and the higher requirement.
73. Highlight.
74. Getting eminent grades.
75. Studying hard, getting necessary formal qualifications and trying to get more experiences related to the ideal career.
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。介绍了兼职，实习和就业相关的一些情况，指出优异成绩和正式的资格证书很重要。
【71题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第二段“For many, weekend or evening work is a rite of passage that may involve cleaning toilets, milking cows or operating the machine that puts jam into a doughnut. (对许多人来说，周末或晚上的工作是一种成年仪式，可能包括打扫厕所、挤牛奶或操作将果酱放入甜甜圈的机器)”可知，周六的工作举例包括扫厕所、挤牛奶或操作将果酱放入甜甜圈的机器。故答案为Cleaning toilets, milking cows or operating the machine that puts jam into a doughnut。
【72题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第四段二三句“It’s economic downturn that has kept it rough for young people to find any kind of job. And many enterprises put forward higher requirement, which are associated with this phenomenon as well. (经济衰退使年轻人难以找到任何工作。许多企业提出了更高的要求，这也与这一现象有关)”可知，使得年轻人找工作更难的原因有两个：经济衰退和更高的要求。故答案为The economic downturn and the higher requirement。
【73题详解】
考查词句猜测。根据第五段划线句“have the 007 role as a…on his CV (有007这个角色在他的简历上，作为…)”可知，007是一个经典角色，因此与他其他的经历相比，这绝对是简历上最出彩，最好的内容，故可推测protuberance意为简历里“突出的部分，最好的部分”，可以highlight替换。故答案为Highlight。
【74题详解】
考查细节理解。根据最后一段“Dr Paul Sissons, senior researcher at the Work Foundation, argues that the solid choice to realised occupation triumph could be getting eminent grades. (工作基金会高级研究员保罗·西森博士认为，实现职业胜利的坚实选择可能是获得优异成绩)”可知，获得优异成绩是实现职业成功的最好途径。故答案为Getting eminent grades。
【75题详解】
考查推理判断。根据最后一段“Dr Paul Sissons, senior researcher at the Work Foundation, argues that the solid choice to realised occupation triumph could be getting eminent grades. He says that formal qualifications still influence employers’ decision. (工作基金会高级研究员保罗·西森博士认为，实现职业胜利的坚实选择可能是获得优异成绩。他说，正式的资格证书仍然会影响雇主的决定)”可知，优异的成绩和正式的资格证书很重要，因此作为即将踏足社会的学生必须努力学习，获得资格证书，当然相关实习也很重要。故答案为Studying hard, getting necessary formal qualifications and trying to get more experiences related to the ideal career。

If you need help, the lifeguard can help you. When you play in the water, don’t push or jump on others. Boating is another way to enjoy the water. But when you’re in a boat, wear a life jacket. If you falI into the deep water, you will be safe with that. In short, enjoy the water, but remember to do it safely and welcome to learn from me!

Samir Lakhani’s enthusiasm for social work began when he studied environmental science at the University of Pittsburgh. Required to complete an internship, he traveled to Cambodia to study the effects of climate change on communities that had lived off the land for centuries.
While studying in Cambodia, he saw something he would never forget: a village woman bathing her newborn son with detergent. “It is a harsh and toxic alternative to the piece of soap that should never be used on the skin,” Lakhani remembered. “The baby was crying. I didn’t know what I could do, but as I returned to my hotel room and stepped into the bathroom, I realized that my housekeeper had thrown away the piece of soap I had hardly touched.”
That brief experience was a turning point for him and then he founded the nonprofit Eco-Soap Bank. “We shouldn’t live in a world where more than 2 million children die per year because of diseases that could easily be stopped by washing hands,” Lakhani stated.
Since 2014, Eco-Soap Bank has employed more than 150 economically disadvantaged women in ten developing countries to recycle leftover hotel soap. These women sanitize the soap and give the new product to people in need. “During the COVID-19 pandemic period, hotel occupancy has dropped and hotels are closing, so we need to change our recycling form,” he says. Lakhani is now reaching out to soap producers from all over the world, asking them if they would like to give scraps to Eco-Soap Bank, a natural byproduct from the production line. He said, “On average, 10% of all soap is wasted before it even hits stores’ shelves. We have recycled and reproduced 1.5 million pieces of soap in the last two months, and this is all female-powered, because that’s our duty.”
However, during the pandemic, the way to transport the soap to where it is needed for people puzzles Lakhani. He is trying to solve this problem and needs more help.
56. What does Paragraph 2 talk about?
A. How Eco-Soap Bank works.
B. How Cambodian people usually bathe.
C. What made Lakhani establish Eco-Soap Bank.
D. Why Lakhani chose Cambodia as the internship place.
57. How does Lakhani change the recycling form during the COVID-19 pandemic period?
A. By asking for scraps from soap producers. B. By paying out of his own pocket for soap.
C. By producing soap with a production line. D. By employing more women to recycle soap.
58. What might be a problem Lakhani is faced with now?
A. How to protect the soap during the transportation.
B. How to get the soap to where it needs to be.
C. When to send the soap to developing countries.
D. How to give guidance on sanitizing the leftover soap.
59. Which words can best describe Samir Lakhani?
A. Traditional, awesome and warm-hearted. B. Thoughtful, clever but unfriendly.
C. Careful, knowledgeable and honest. D. Kind, intelligent and responsible.
60. Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A. How Sanitized Soap Can be Used B. How Hotel Soap Can be Recycled
C. How Recycling Hotel Soap Can Save Lives D. How Reproducing Soap Scraps Can Save Money
【答案】56. C 57. A 58. B 59. D 60. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了Samir Lakhani通过建立非营利组织，回收酒店肥皂来拯救生命的故事。
【56题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“While studying in Cambodia, he saw something he would never forget: a village woman bathing her newborn son with detergent. “It is a harsh and toxic alternative to the piece of soap that should never be used on the skin,” Lakhani remembered. “The baby was crying. I didn’t know what I could do, but as I returned to my hotel room and stepped into the bathroom, I realized that my housekeeper had thrown away the piece of soap I had hardly touched.”(在柬埔寨学习期间，他看到了一些他永远不会忘记的事情：一个农村妇女用洗涤剂给她刚出生的儿子洗澡。拉克哈尼回忆说：“它是肥皂的替代品，刺激性强，有毒，永远不应该用在皮肤上。”婴儿在哭。我不知道我能做什么，但当我回到酒店房间，走进浴室时，我意识到我的管家把我几乎没碰过的那块肥皂扔掉了。”)”可知，第二段讲了Lakhani建立生态肥皂银行的原因。故选C。
【57题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段““During the COVID-19 pandemic period, hotel occupancy has dropped and hotels are closing, so we need to change our recycling form,” he says.Lakhani is now reaching out to soap producers from all over the world, asking them if they would like to give scraps to Eco-Soap Bank, a natural byproduct from the production line.(他说：“在新冠肺炎大流行期间，酒店入住率下降，酒店正在关闭，所以我们需要改变我们的回收形式。”拉克哈尼现在正在联系世界各地的肥皂生产商，询问他们是否愿意把生产线上的天然副产品——肥皂废料——捐给生态肥皂银行。)”可知，在COVID-19大流行期间，Lakhani在酒店收不到足够的肥皂，通过向肥皂生产商索要肥皂残渣来改变回收形式。故选A。
【58题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“However, during the pandemic, the way to transport the soap to where it is needed for people puzzles Lakhani. He is trying to solve this problem and needs more help.(然而，在大流行期间，如何将肥皂运送到人们需要的地方让Lakhani感到困惑。他正在努力解决这个问题，需要更多的帮助)”可知，Lakhani现在面临的问题可能是如何把肥皂送到需要的地方。故选B。
【59题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Samir Lakhani’s enthusiasm for social work began when he studied environmental science at the University of Pittsburgh.( Samir Lakhani对社会工作的热情始于他在匹兹堡大学学习环境科学时)”；第三段中“That brief experience was a turning point for him and then he founded the nonprofit Eco-Soap Bank.(这段短暂的经历对他来说是一个转折点，然后他创立了非营利的生态肥皂银行)”以及倒数第二段中“We have recycled and reproduced 1.5 million pieces of soap in the last two months, and this is all female-powered, because that’s our duty.(在过去的两个月里，我们已经回收和再生产了150万块肥皂，这都是由女性推动的，因为这是我们的责任)”可推知，Samir Lakhani善良、聪明、有责任心。故选D。
【60题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段的“That brief experience was a turning point for him and then he founded the nonprofit Eco-Soap Bank.(这段短暂的经历对他来说是一个转折点，然后他创立了非营利的生态肥皂银行。)”和第四段中“Since 2014, Eco-Soap Bank has employed more than 150 economically disadvantaged women in ten developing countries to recycle leftover hotel soap. These women sanitize the soap and give the new product to people in need.(自2014年以来，生态肥皂银行已经在10个发展中国家雇用了150多名经济困难的妇女来回收酒店剩余的肥皂。这些妇女给肥皂消毒，把新产品送给有需要的人)”结合文章主要说明了Samir Lakhani通过建立非营利组织，回收酒店肥皂来拯救生命。故C选项“回收酒店肥皂是如何拯救生命的”最符合文章标题。故选C。

Research has shown that behavioral signaling is largely universal — not only across cultures, but across species. Based on this knowledge, Cogito Corp has created an artificial intelligence (AI) technology to analyze behavioral and vocal cues to provide in-the-moment guidance during conversations, making individuals more emotionally intelligent.
“Artificial intelligence continues to have a transformational effect across industries. One area we see specific accelerated advancement in with this technology, is machine learning,” said Dr. John Kane of Cogito. “Much of the advancement in machine learning is due to the fact that it’s not far removed from our daily lives. Take Amazon’s Alexa as a household example: Alexa can recognize and respond to whispered speech for voice commands, made possible through machine learning advancement,”Kane continued. He also pointed out that “media has built unrealistic expectations in the minds of the general public when it comes to AI, where in fact, machine learning algorithms are still generally developed for narrowly defined purposes.”
Cogito was founded with the mission of helping humans communicate with more emotional intelligence. Presently, it helps individuals across enterprise-level organizations, mainly in the insurance, healthcare and financial service industries, create stronger customer service outcomes with the help of the Cogito AI coach. “Our goal is to provide in-the-moment guidance to individuals within enterprise call centers so they can adjust their behavior and improve customer experiences,” Kane said.
Cogito’s AI technology aims to offer a win-win-win model for companies — improving agent performance so that employees are more occupied with their work, customers are more satisfied and the company is more productive. Cogito’s in-the-moment guidance identifies patterns and cues that may be easily overlooked, giving consistent recommendations to agents in real time. This focused level of analysis helps managers coach high-performing agents to be more consistent and low-performing agents to identify areas for improvement — positively impacting companies.
Looking to the future, Cogito’s CEO and co-founder, Joshua Feast, sees an opportunity to own the AI coaching space. AI coaches guide humans to improve their individual and team performance, resulting in a more productive, emotionally intelligent and successful workforce.
61. What’s the main reason for machine learning’s advancement?
A. Its connections with our daily lives.
B. Its being a basic area of AI technology.
C. An increasing demand for the technology.
D. Media’s efforts to promote the technology.
62. What do you know about AI from Kane’s words?
A. It has wider uses than expected.
B. What it can do now may be overestimated.
C. It is far from familiar to the public.
D. Most advanced AI technologies remain unknown to the public.
63. Why was Cogito established?
A. To bring greater advancement in machine learning.
B. To reveal the behavioral differences between humans.
C. To make humans more emotionally intelligent in conversations.
D. To help companies monitor and measure employees’ work performance.
64. Where is Cogito’s AI technology mainly applied?
A. In small companies.
B. In educational agencies.
C. In international trading.
D. In the service industry.
65. What can be inferred about Cogito’s AI technology?
A. It faces a lot of challenges.
B. It seems to have a bright future.
C. It may replace the human workforce sooner or later.
D. It is disadvantageous to low-performing employees.
【答案】61. A 62. B 63. C 64. D 65. B

If you are ever planning to buy a telescope and want to get yourself involved in astronomy, it is always a good idea to know a bit of the sky. Know about a few constellations (星座) so that it will be easier for you to recognize the constellations when you are using your telescope.
It’s a good idea to buy a few astronomy magazines to help you know about the constellations in the sky and also read a few comments on different types of telescopes on the market. This will help you gather all the information that is out there regarding telescopes and what people say about them.
It’s advisable to go in for a pair of binoculars (双筒望远镜) which are very easy to carry and use before you buy your first telescope so that you can get used to locating constellations before your view of the sky is narrowed down. This will also help you know if you really want to get involved in astronomy. Many people buy a costly telescope and then discover that they’re not actually interested in astronomy.
It’s an obvious truth that experience has no replacement, and there certainly is nothing better than using different telescopes before you buy one, which will help you to get the feel of all the types of telescopes and you will know which one is easier for you to use. A large aperture refractor telescope (大口径折射望远镜) may give you an excellent picture but you may not be able to hold it firmly while using it, which may result in an unclear picture.
There are three types of telescopes that are available on the market. The first type of telescope is the refractor telescope, which provides a good picture but is not as easy to carry as the other two types of telescopes and so you will have to buy one with a small aperture. The second type of telescope is the reflecting telescope, invented by Isaac Newton.There is no added color in the picture caused by refraction of light. This type of telescope is easy to carry and the cheapest of all. The third type of telescope is known as the catadioptric telescope (折反射望远镜), which is the smallest type of all the telescopes and is more popular among astronomers.
66. What will be required if one wants to use a telescope effectively?
A. The patience to search for constellations.
B. The ability to recognize constellations.
C. The desire to learn about the history of telescopes.
D. The willingness to listen to others’ comments.
67. What can we learn from Paragraph 2?
A. One must know something about astronomy and telescopes.
B. One can’t buy a telescope without buying several astronomy magazines.
C. One should check the telescopes on the market and try to find a better one.
D. One must be familiar with new information of astronomy and space instruments.
68. What does one need to do before buying a telescope?
A. To seek advice from some experienced telescope users.
B. To get used to using at least one type of telescope.
C. To know whether he is really interested in astronomy.
D. To bargain with the seller over the price of the telescope.
69. Generally speaking, which type of telescope is the biggest in size?
A. Binoculars.
B. The catadioptric telescope.
C. The reflecting telescope.
D. The refractor telescope.
70. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. An Introduction to Astronomy
B. Buying A Telescope For the First Time
C. The Competitive Market of Telescopes
D. The Advantages and Disadvantages of Several Telescopes
【答案】66. B 67. A 68. C 69. D 70. B

(这是一个显而易见的事实，经验是没有替代品的，当然没有什么比在购买之前使用不同的望远镜更好的了，这将帮助你获得所有类型的望远镜的感觉，你会知道哪一种更容易使用。)”可知，本文旨在给读者提供建议，在购买望远镜之前，要多做了解，做好准备工作。故选B项。

Do you scan yourself in your early 20s already dressed in a smart suit as well as using a company phone? Currently more and more young people have been looking for internships (实习生职位) rather than Saturday jobs. But should people be expected to do a proper job at all while they’re still young?
For many, weekend or evening work is a rite of passage that may involve cleaning toilets, milking cows or operating the machine that puts jam into a doughnut.
Plentiful teenagers or students aren’t impressive in holding down a part-time job. But it’s a opportunity to try to experience the world of work and take a crucial first step into adulthood.
But the number of young people doing a Saturday job has decreased by a half in 15 years, according to the UK Commission for Employment and Skills. It’s economic downturn that has kept it rough for young people to find any kind of job. And many enterprises put forward higher requirement, which are associated with this phenomenon as well. For those seeking a career, there is now greater pressure to choose professional jobs and get work experience.
Those who go on to successful careers often mention their days of waiting tables or picking fruit as experiences of growth. Actor Sean Connery may have the 007 role as a protuberance on his CV while he embarked on working as a milkman when only 14. George Clooney once strove for selling women’s shoes.
What is a proper job? White collar work is a golden job that a host of people want to obtain and professionals in finance, advertising, journalism and the law often work exceedingly long hours. However, there is a sense that sitting at a desk all one’s life is not always real work in the same way as some other jobs are.
Dr Paul Sissons, senior researcher at the Work Foundation, argues that the solid choice to realised occupation triumph could be getting eminent grades. He says that formal qualifications still influence employers’ decision.

【71题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第二段“For many, weekend or evening work is a rite of passage that may involve cleaning toilets, milking cows or operating the machine that puts jam into a doughnut. (对许多人来说，周末或晚上的工作是一种成年仪式，可能包括打扫厕所、挤牛奶或操作将果酱放入甜甜圈的机器)”可知，周六的工作举例包括扫厕所、挤牛奶或操作将果酱放入甜甜圈的机器。故答案为Cleaning toilets, milking cows or operating the machine that puts jam into a doughnut。
【72题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第四段二三句“It’s economic downturn that has kept it rough for young people to find any kind of job. And many enterprises put forward higher requirement, which are associated with this phenomenon as well. (经济衰退使年轻人难以找到任何工作。许多企业提出了更高的要求，这也与这一现象有关)”可知，使得年轻人找工作更难的原因有两个：经济衰退和更高的要求。故答案为The economic downturn and the higher requirement。
【73题详解】
考查词句猜测。根据第五段划线句“have the 007 role as a…on his CV (有007这个角色在他的简历上，作为…)”可知，007是一个经典角色，因此与他其他的经历相比，这绝对是简历上最出彩，最好的内容，故可推测protuberance意为简历里“突出的部分，最好的部分”，可以highlight替换。故答案为Highlight。
【74题详解】
考查细节理解。根据最后一段“Dr Paul Sissons, senior researcher at the Work Foundation, argues that the solid choice to realised occupation triumph could be getting eminent grades. (工作基金会高级研究员保罗·西森博士认为，实现职业胜利的坚实选择可能是获得优异成绩)”可知，获得优异成绩是实现职业成功的最好途径。故答案为Getting eminent grades。
【75题详解】
考查推理判断。根据最后一段“Dr Paul Sissons, senior researcher at the Work Foundation, argues that the solid choice to realised occupation triumph could be getting eminent grades. He says that formal qualifications still influence employers’ decision. (工作基金会高级研究员保罗·西森博士认为，实现职业胜利的坚实选择可能是获得优异成绩。他说，正式的资格证书仍然会影响雇主的决定)”可知，优异的成绩和正式的资格证书很重要，因此作为即将踏足社会的学生必须努力学习，获得资格证书，当然相关实习也很重要。故答案为Studying hard, getting necessary formal qualifications and trying to get more experiences related to the ideal career。
