Our perception of hoe food tastes is influenced by cutlery like knives, forks, and spoons, research suggests.
“Size, weight, shape and color all have an effect on flavor,” says a University of Oxford team. Cheese tastes saltier when eaten from a knife rather than a fork; while white spoons make yoghurt taste better, experiments show.
The study in the journal Flavour suggests the brain makes judgments on food even before it goes in the mouth. More than 100 students took part in three experiments looking at the influence of weight, color and shape of cutlery on taste. The researchers found that when the weight of the cutlery is consistent with expectations, this had an influence on how the food tastes. For example, food tasted sweeter on the small spoons that are traditionally used to serve desserts.
Color contrast was also an important factor-white yoghurt eaten from a white spoon was rated sweeter than white yoghurt tasted on a black spoon. Similarly, when testers were offered cheese on a knife, spoon, fork or toothpick, they found that the cheese on a knife tasted saltiest.
“How we experience food is a multisensory experience involving taste feel of the food in our mouths, pleasant smells, and the feasting of our eyes,” said Pro. Charles Spence and Dr. Vanessa Harrar. “Even before we put food into our mouths, our brains have made a judgment about it, which affects our overall experience.”
Past research has shown that china can change our perception of food and drink. For example, people generally eat less when food is served on smaller plates. “The new research into how the brain influences food perception could help dieters or improve gastronomic（美食的）experiences at restaurants,” said Pro. Spence. He told BBC News: “There’s a lot more to food than what’s on the plate. Many things we thought didn’t matter do. We’re going to see a lot more of neuroscience（神经科学）design around mealtimes.”
4. According to the text, we know that the cheese used in the experiment is ________.
A. salty B. sour
C. sweet D. bitter
5. What do we know about the weight of the cutlery in paragraph 3?
A. It is important for people.
B. People usually don’t care about it.
C. It affects how the food tastes.
D. It is always different from people’s expectation.
6. What does the underlined word “multisensory” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?
A. Coming from the senses.
B. Involving many different senses.
C. Able to feel or perceive.
D. Easily affected by other feelings.
7. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. Research on cutlery is of great importance.
B. Research on food will be continued in the future.
C. Research on the effect of nerves on the taste of food will be done.
D. Research on plates and food will be carried out in the near future.

A machine can now not only beat you at chess, it can also outperform you in debate. Last week, in a public debate in San Francisco, a software program called Project Debater beat its human opponents, including Noa Ovadia, Israel’s former national debating champion.
Brilliant though it is, Project Debater has some weaknesses. It takes sentences from its library of documents and prebuilt arguments and strings them together. This can lead to the kinds of errors no human would make. Such wrinkles will no doubt be ironed out, yet they also point to a fundamental problem. As Kristian Hammond, professor of electrical engineering and computer science at Northwestern University, put it: “There’s never a stage at which the system knows what it’s talking about.”
What Hammond is referring to is the question of meaning, and meaning is central to what distinguishes the least intelligent of humans from the most intelligent of machines. A computer works with symbols. Its program specifies a set of rules to transform one string of symbols into another. But it does not specify what those symbols mean. Indeed, to a computer, meaning is irrelevant. Humans, in thinking, talking, reading and writing, also work with symbols. But for humans, meaning is everything. When we communicate, we communicate meaning. What matters is not just the outside of a string of symbols, but the inside too, not just how they are arranged but what they mean.
Meaning emerges through a process of social interaction, not of computation, interaction that shapes the content of the symbols in our heads. The rules that assign meaning lie not just inside our heads, but also outside, in society, in social memory, social conventions and social relations. It is this that distinguishes humans from machines. And that’s why, however astonishing Project Debater may seem, the tradition that began with Socrates and Confucius will not end with artificial intelligence.
8. Why does the author mention Noa Ovadia in the first paragraph?
A. To explain the use of a software program.
B. To show the cleverness of Project Debater.
C. To introduce the designer of Project Debater.
D. To emphasize the fairness of the competition.
9. What does the underlined word “wrinkles” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Arguments. B. Doubts. C. Errors. D. Differences.
10. What is Project Debater unable to do according to Hammond?
A. Create rules. B. Comprehend meaning.
C. Talk fluently. D. Identify difficult words.
11. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. Social interaction is key to understanding symbols.
B. The human brain has potential yet to be developed.
C. Ancient philosophers set good examples for debaters.
D. Artificial intelligence ensures humans a bright future.
D
Art is everywhere. Any public space has been carefully designed by an artistic mind to be both functional and beautiful. Why, then, is art still so widely considered to be "the easy subject" at school, insignificant to wider society, a waste of time and effort?
Art can connect culture with commercial products in a way that not many other things can; art generates money and holds significant emotional and cultural value within communities. When people attend a concert, they are paying for music, sure, maybe even hotel rooms, meals, and transport, but they also gain an incredible experience, a unique atmosphere and a memory that will go through the rest of their lives. People don't just want material things anymore, they want to experience life---the arts are a perfect cross over between culture and commerce.
Furthermore, the arts can bring communities together, reducing loneliness and making people feel safer. Social bonds are created among individuals when they share their arts experiences through reflection and discussion, and their expression of common values through artworks in honour of events significant to a nation's experience.
The arts clearly have a pretty positive impact on physical and psychological health. It is found that people who frequent cultural places or participate in artistic events are more likely to gain good health compared to those who do not; more engagement with the arts is linked to a higher level of people’s wellbeing. The Royal Society of Public Health discovered that music and art, when used in hospitals, help to improve the conditions of patients by reducing stress, anxiety and blood pressure.
Children who are involved with the arts make greater achievements in their education: those engaged with drama have greater literary ability while others taking part in musical practice exhibit greater skills in math and languages. Kids with preference for the arts have a greater chance of finding employment in the future. Participating in the arts is essential for child development; encouraging children to express themselves in constructive ways could help to form healthy emotional responses in later life.
Vital to human life, art is celebrated and used by nations across the world for various purposes. Life without art would be boring and dead still, for art is a part of what makes us human.
12. Art products differ from most other commercial products because_____ .
A. most people purchase them for collection
B. they are more expensive and less accessible
C. they have both commercial and cultural values
D. their prices may climb up as time passes
13. What can we learn about people who are involved in artistic activities?
A. They enjoy better living conditions.
B. They like to compare themselves with others.
C. They are particularly good at both music and art.
D. They tend to be healthier physically and mentally.
14. How does kids' engagement with the arts benefit them?
A. It promotes their academic performance and emotional growth.
B. It gives them more confidence in exhibiting their learning skills.
C. It inspires their creativity in designing their future career.
D. It helps to make responsible people out of them.
15. What is the best title for this passage?
A. How Art Cures Our Hearts
B. Art: A Blessing to Humankind
C. How Art Benefits Communities
D. Art: A Bridge Between Cultures

Our perception of hoe food tastes is influenced by cutlery like knives, forks, and spoons, research suggests.
“Size, weight, shape and color all have an effect on flavor,” says a University of Oxford team. Cheese tastes saltier when eaten from a knife rather than a fork; while white spoons make yoghurt taste better, experiments show.
The study in the journal Flavour suggests the brain makes judgments on food even before it goes in the mouth. More than 100 students took part in three experiments looking at the influence of weight, color and shape of cutlery on taste. The researchers found that when the weight of the cutlery is consistent with expectations, this had an influence on how the food tastes. For example, food tasted sweeter on the small spoons that are traditionally used to serve desserts.
Color contrast was also an important factor-white yoghurt eaten from a white spoon was rated sweeter than white yoghurt tasted on a black spoon. Similarly, when testers were offered cheese on a knife, spoon, fork or toothpick, they found that the cheese on a knife tasted saltiest.
“How we experience food is a multisensory experience involving taste, feel of the food in our mouths, pleasant smells, and the feasting of our eyes,” said Pro. Charles Spence and Dr. Vanessa Harrar. “Even before we put food into our mouths, our brains have made a judgment about it, which affects our overall experience.”
Past research has shown that china can change our perception of food and drink. For example, people generally eat less when food is served on smaller plates. “The new research into how the brain influences food perception could help dieters or improve gastronomic（美食的）experiences at restaurants,” said Pro. Spence. He told BBC News: “There’s a lot more to food than what’s on the plate. Many things we thought didn’t matter do. We’re going to see a lot more of neuroscience（神经科学）design around mealtimes.”
4. According to the text, we know that the cheese used in the experiment is ________.
A. salty B. sour
C. sweet D. bitter
5. What do we know about the weight of the cutlery in paragraph 3?
A. It is important for people.
B. People usually don’t care about it.
C. It affects how the food tastes.
D. It is always different from people’s expectation.
6. What does the underlined word “multisensory” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?
A. Coming from the senses.
B. Involving many different senses.
C. Able to feel or perceive.
D. Easily affected by other feelings.
7 What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. Research on cutlery is of great importance.
B. Research on food will be continued in the future.
C. Research on the effect of nerves on the taste of food will be done.
D. Research on plates and food will be carried out in the near future.

A machine can now not only beat you at chess, it can also outperform you in debate. Last week, in a public debate in San Francisco, a software program called Project Debater beat its human opponents, including Noa Ovadia, Israel’s former national debating champion.
Brilliant though it is, Project Debater has some weaknesses. It takes sentences from its library of documents and prebuilt arguments and strings them together. This can lead to the kinds of errors no human would make. Such wrinkles will no doubt be ironed out, yet they also point to a fundamental problem. As Kristian Hammond, professor of electrical engineering and computer science at Northwestern University, put it: “There’s never a stage at which the system knows what it’s talking about.”
What Hammond is referring to is the question of meaning, and meaning is central to what distinguishes the least intelligent of humans from the most intelligent of machines. A computer works with symbols. Its program specifies a set of rules to transform one string of symbols into another. But it does not specify what those symbols mean. Indeed, to a computer, meaning is irrelevant. Humans, in thinking, talking, reading and writing, also work with symbols. But for humans, meaning is everything. When we communicate, we communicate meaning. What matters is not just the outside of a string of symbols, but the inside too, not just how they are arranged but what they mean.
Meaning emerges through a process of social interaction, not of computation, interaction that shapes the content of the symbols in our heads. The rules that assign meaning lie not just inside our heads, but also outside, in society, in social memory, social conventions and social relations. It is this that distinguishes humans from machines. And that’s why, however astonishing Project Debater may seem, the tradition that began with Socrates and Confucius will not end with artificial intelligence.
8. Why does the author mention Noa Ovadia in the first paragraph?
A. To explain the use of a software program.
B. To show the cleverness of Project Debater.
C. To introduce the designer of Project Debater.
D To emphasize the fairness of the competition.
9. What does the underlined word “wrinkles” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Arguments. B. Doubts. C. Errors. D. Differences.
10. What is Project Debater unable to do according to Hammond?
A. Create rules. B. Comprehend meaning.
C. Talk fluently. D. Identify difficult words.
11. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. Social interaction is key to understanding symbols.
B. The human brain has potential yet to be developed.
C. Ancient philosophers set good examples for debaters.
D. Artificial intelligence ensures humans a bright future.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. B 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道，主要介绍的是在辩论中战胜人类的名为Project Debater的软件程序。
8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段的“Last week, in a public debate in San Francisco, a software program called Project Debater beat its human opponents, including Noa Ovadia, Israel’s former national debating champion.(上周，在旧金山的一场公开辩论中，一个名为Project Debater的软件程序击败了它的人类对手，其中包括以色列前全国辩论冠军Noa Ovadia。)”可知，作者在第一段提到Noa Ovadia的目的是展示Project Debater的聪明。故选B。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段的“Brilliant though it is, Project Debater has some weaknesses. It takes sentences from its library of documents and prebuilt arguments and strings them together. This can lead to the kinds of errors no human would make.(尽管Project Debater很聪明，但它也有一些弱点。它从文档库和预先构建的参数中提取句子，并将它们串在一起。这可能会导致人类不会犯的错误。)”和“will no doubt be ironed out(毫无疑问会被解决)”可知，划线词所在句子表示“这样的错误会被纠正，被解决”，划线词wrinkles的意思是“错误”，和errors意思相近，故选C。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的“What Hammond is referring to is the question of meaning, and meaning is central to what distinguishes the least intelligent of humans from the most intelligent of machines. A computer works with symbols. Its program specifies a set of rules to transform one string of symbols into another. But it does not specify what those symbols mean. Indeed, to a computer, meaning is irrelevant.(Hammond所指的是意义的问题，而意义是区分最不聪明的人类和最聪明的机器的关键。计算机使用符号。它的程序指定了一组将一串符号转换为另一串符号的规则。但它并没有具体说明这些符号的含义。事实上，对于计算机来说，意义是无关紧要的。)”可知，根据Hammond的说法，Project Debater不能理解意义，故选B。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段的“Meaning emerges through a process of social interaction, not of computation, interaction that shapes the content of the symbols in our heads. The rules that assign meaning lie not just inside our heads, but also outside, in society, in social memory, social conventions and social relations.(意义的产生是通过社会互动的过程，而不是计算的过程，这种互动塑造了我们头脑中符号的内容。赋予意义的规则不仅存在于我们的头脑中，也存在于社会之外，存在于社会记忆、社会习俗和社会关系中。)”可知，从最后一段我们能了解到社会互动是理解符号的关键。故选A。
D
Art is everywhere. Any public space has been carefully designed by an artistic mind to be both functional and beautiful. Why, then, is art still so widely considered to be "the easy subject" at school, insignificant to wider society, a waste of time and effort?
Art can connect culture with commercial products in a way that not many other things can; art generates money and holds significant emotional and cultural value within communities. When people attend a concert, they are paying for music, sure, maybe even hotel rooms, meals, and transport, but they also gain an incredible experience, a unique atmosphere and a memory that will go through the rest of their lives. People don't just want material things anymore, they want to experience life---the arts are a perfect cross over between culture and commerce.
Furthermore, the arts can bring communities together, reducing loneliness and making people feel safer. Social bonds are created among individuals when they share their arts experiences through reflection and discussion, and their expression of common values through artworks in honour of events significant to a nation's experience.
The arts clearly have a pretty positive impact on physical and psychological health. It is found that people who frequent cultural places or participate in artistic events are more likely to gain good health compared to those who do not; more engagement with the arts is linked to a higher level of people’s wellbeing. The Royal Society of Public Health discovered that music and art, when used in hospitals, help to improve the conditions of patients by reducing stress, anxiety and blood pressure.
Children who are involved with the arts make greater achievements in their education: those engaged with drama have greater literary ability while others taking part in musical practice exhibit greater skills in math and languages. Kids with preference for the arts have a greater chance of finding employment in the future. Participating in the arts is essential for child development; encouraging children to express themselves in constructive ways could help to form healthy emotional responses in later life.
Vital to human life, art is celebrated and used by nations across the world for various purposes. Life without art would be boring and dead still, for art is a part of what makes us human.
12. Art products differ from most other commercial products because_____ .
A. most people purchase them for collection
B. they are more expensive and less accessible
C. they have both commercial and cultural values
D. their prices may climb up as time passes
13. What can we learn about people who are involved in artistic activities?
A. They enjoy better living conditions.
B. They like to compare themselves with others.
C. They are particularly good at both music and art.
D. They tend to be healthier physically and mentally.
14. How does kids' engagement with the arts benefit them?
A. It promotes their academic performance and emotional growth.
B. It gives them more confidence in exhibiting their learning skills.
C. It inspires their creativity in designing their future career.
D It helps to make responsible people out of them.
15. What is the best title for this passage?
A. How Art Cures Our Hearts
B. Art: A Blessing to Humankind
C. How Art Benefits Communities
D. Art: A Bridge Between Cultures
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. A 15. B
【解析】

【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段第一句话“Children who are involved with the arts make greater achievements in their education: those engaged with drama have greater literary ability while others taking part in musical practice exhibit greater skills in math and languages. (参与艺术的孩子在教育中取得了更大的成就：那些参与戏剧的孩子有更大的文学能力，而其他参与音乐练习的孩子在数学和语言方面表现出更高的技能)”以及最后一句话“encouraging children to express themselves in constructive ways could help to form healthy emotional responses in later life.(鼓励孩子以建设性的方式表达自己，有助于在以后的生活中形成健康的情绪反应)”可知，艺术活动促进了孩子们的学业表现和情感成长。故选A。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Vital to human life, art is celebrated and used by nations across the world for various purposes. Life without art would be boring and dead still, for art is a part of what makes us human.(艺术对人类生活至关重要，世界各国都在为各种目的庆祝和使用艺术。没有艺术的生活会枯燥乏味，死气沉沉，因为艺术是使我们成为人类的一部分)”可知，艺术是人类重要的部分，文章也详细描述了艺术对不同的人群的好处。所以文章的标题为“艺术：人类的福祉”。故选B。

【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了女机器人索菲亚。她“大脑”中的计算机算法能够识别面部，并与人进行眼神接触。机器人索菲娅被授予沙特公民身份。她也因此成为史上首个获得公民身份的机器人。但是，科学家们预言：人工智能崛起将成为人类生存的最大威胁。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：索菲亚是一个类人智能机器人，因成为第一个被授予沙特阿拉伯公民身份的机器人而闻名。分析句子结构可知，此处是固定句型：the+序数词+n. to do sth，所以award应该用不定式形式，又逻辑主语是Sophia，两者间是被动关系，所以应该用不定式的被动语态，作后置定语，故填to be awarded。
【42题详解】
考查短语和时态。句意：她天生具有科学与艺术的完美结合。be born with生来具有……，描述的是过去发生的事，用一般过去时。故填 was born。
【43题详解】
考查动词时态语态。句意：句意：科学家说她的脸被设计得很漂亮，就像漂亮的女演员奥黛丽·赫本。主语后缺少谓语动词，设计发生在过去，her face和design是被动关系，应用一般过去时的被动语态。故填was designed。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：这款机器人有能力展示超过62种面部表情。ability后面常用不定式作定语。故填to show。
【45题详解】
考查副词。句意：更重要的是，她能说英语，甚至流利地说汉语。此处修饰动词speak，应用副词。故填fluently。
【46题详解】
考查定语从句的关系词。句意：机器人索菲娅能学习很多沟通技能，这些会影响她的发展和外观。此处是非限定性定语从句，先行词是skills，指物，在定语从句中作主语，应用关系代词which引导。故填which。
【47题详解】
考查名词。句意：她聪明、幽默、自信的表演让观众感到惊讶甚至有点害怕。根据句意可知，此处使用不可数名词performance，意为“表现”，作主语。故填performance。
【48题详解】
考查形容词。句意：她聪明、幽默、自信的表演让观众感到惊讶甚至有点害怕。make+宾语+宾补，此处修饰人的感情，应用-ed结尾形容词。故填astonished。
【49题详解】
考查形容词。句意：她聪明、幽默、自信的表演让观众感到惊讶甚至有点害怕。根据and可知，空处和前文的astonished并列，应也填形容词，scare的形容词形式是scared，修饰人，故填scared。
【50题详解】
考查不定式。句意：如果人工智能的生产和发展无法得到控制，这将是未来人类生存的致命风险。分析句子结构可知，此处是固定短语搭配：be able to do意为“能够做某事”，所以control应该用不定式形式，又逻辑主语是production and development of AI，两者间是被动关系，所以应该用不定式的被动语态。故填to be controlled。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者去年夏天去青岛旅行的难忘经历。
【详解】1.考查定语从句。句意：去年夏天，我去青岛旅行，在那里我呆了七天，玩得很开心。“I stayed for seven days and enjoyed myself”是定语从句，关系词指代先行词city并在从句中作地点状语，故将when改为where。
2.考查动名词。句意：在离开青岛之前，我在一个美丽的湖上钓鱼。介词before后接动名词作宾语，故将leave改为leaving。
3.考查副词。句意：不幸的是，我一条鱼也没有钓到，我感到无聊。修饰后面整个句子要用副词unluckily，意为“不幸的是”，位于句首，首字母大写，故将Unlucky改为Unluckily。
4.考查形容词。句意：不幸的是，我没有钓到任何鱼，我感到无聊。根据语境可知，此处表示“我”感到无聊，形容人感到无聊要用形容词bored，而boring是修饰物，意为“令人无聊的”，故将boring改为bored。
5.考查时态。句意：当我站起来的时候，我的钱包和我所有的钱掉进了水里。通篇时态是一般过去时，因此本句时态用一般过去时，fall要改为过去式fell，故将fall改为fell。
6.考查定冠词。句意：我跳进深湖去找它，但我没有找到它。此处的lake是第二次提到，前面应用定冠词the，故将a改为the。
7.考查because与because of的区别。句意：第二天早上，我无法离开酒店，因为我没有钱支付费用。because of后跟名词或名词性短语，because后跟句子，“I had no money to pay for anything”是一个句子，因此应用because引导原因状语从句。故去掉because后的of。
8.考查固定句式。句意：我别无选择，只能打电话给父母寻求帮助。have no choice but to do sth.是固定句式，意为“别无选择，只能做某事”，故在call前加to。
9.考查代词。句意：他们用微信给我发了一些钱。此处表示“他们用微信给我发了一些钱”，应用宾格me作sent的宾语，故将myself改为me。
10.考查感叹句。句意：多么尴尬的旅行啊！句子是感叹句，感叹句的结构是“What+a/an+（形容词）+单数可数名词+主语+谓语！”和“How+形容词（副词）+（a/an）+单数可数名词+主语+谓语！”，因此本句要用what引导的感叹句，位于句首的单词首字母要大写，故将How改为What。
