Throughout the past year, we followed some interesting new inventions in the field of artificial intelligence (AI). Here is a look back at some notable AI developments in 2022.
Meta’s speech-to-speech translation
Facebook’s parent Meta said it had built a technology tool to directly translate between English and the Hokkien language, a spoken language without a widely used written form.
Meta said it trained its AI models on written text examples from Mandarin Chinese. In addition, developers used an encoding (编码) tool designed to compare spoken Hokkien lo similar English text.
Method to identify Parkinson’s disease
Researchers announced a new AI method to identify Parkinson’s disease. The system works by measuring a person’s breathing patterns during sleep. With just one night of sleep, the Al system was able to correctly identify Parkinson’s up to 86 percent of the time. With 12 nights of data, the rate went up to 95 percent.
Tool to interpret pig emotions
Researchers announced they had created a technology tool that uses pig sounds to interpret different emotions.
The tool is based on thousands of recordings collected from more than 400 pigs throughout their lives. The scientists developed an AI-driven algorithm (算法) to identify a series of emotions pigs could be experiencing. It is expected to lead to further systems farmers can use to improve the productivity and well-being of their animals.
Tool to fill in missing words in ancient writings
Researchers - led by Alphabet’s AI company DeepMind - said they developed an AI system to help fill in missing words in ancient writings. The tool, called Ithaca, is designed to help historians repair the writings and identify when and where they were written.
The team said that when historians work on their own, the success rat: for repairing damaged writings is about 25 percent. But when humans teamed up with Ithaca to assist in their work, the success rate jumped to 72 percent.
1. Which can be used for cross-cultural communication?
A. Tool to interpret pig emotions.
B. Meta’s speech-to-speech translation.
C. Method to identify Parkinson’s disease.
D. Tool to fill in missing words in ancient writings.
2. Who will most probably be interested in Ithaca?
A. A farmer. B. A doctor. C. A zoologist. D. A historian.
3. What do the inventions have in common?
A. They are AI-driven technology tools.
B. They are developed by Facebook.
C. They aim to promote productivity.
D. They focus on health issues.

On February 13, 2023, Wu Yibing made history, beating John Isner in a thrilling three-set final at the Dallas Open to become the first man from China to win an ATP title.
Brought to a tennis court for the first time at just five, initially encouraged by his parents as an exercise to lose weight, Wu soon had his talent discovered by his provincial junior team, kicking off a journey that would change the face of men’s tennis in China. In 2017, Wu Yibing shot to prominence after winning the US Open boys’ tournament at 18 to become the first Chinese to win a major junior title, raising high hopes for the “Wonder Boy” to change the fortune of Chinese men in a sport long dominated by women’s success on the pro stage.
In 2018, Wu won his first ATP Challenger title in Shanghai. However, the cruelly competitive nature of men’s pro tennis hit the rising Wu with a tough reminder after multiple injuries — to his elbow, lower back, shoulder and wrist — forced him to be away from the ATP Tour for close to three years.
He made his return last year and won three ATP Challenger titles before qualifying for the US Open. “Looking back, I feel like I wouldn’t have been here if not for the ups and downs over the past few years. I take all the setbacks and struggles as an treasure that helps me mature mentally now,” said Wu. “Of course there were a lot of doubts because I had surgery and the recovery wasn’t going well. The championship today was a payoff for all the hard work and everyone who’s supported me along the way.”
4. What do the underlined words “shot to prominence” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Lost weight. B. Came back to the top.
C. Became famous instantly. D. Dropped out of the competition.
5. Why was Wu absent from the ATP Tour for nearly three years?
A. He wanted to change his career.
B. He suffered from serious physical injuries.
C. He didn’t stand out in training for the match.
D. He can’t handle the pressure of the ATP Tour.
6 What can we learn from Wu Yibing’s statement?
A. No cross, no crown. B. Well begun is half done.
C. More haste, less speed. D. Time waits for no man.
7. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. The Development of Chinese Tennis B. The Power of Difficulties for Athletes
C. The Pioneer of Chinese Tennis Sport D. The First Chinese Male Winner of ATP Title
【答案】4. C 5. B 6. A 7. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。介绍了吴易昺夺得了 ATP 巡回赛冠军, 创中国网球新历史。
【4题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第二段第二句“In 2017,Wu Yibing shot to prominence after winning the US Open boys’ tournament at 18 to become the first Chinese to win a major junior title, raising high hopes for the “Wonder Boy” to change the fortune of Chinese men in a sport long dominated by women’s success on the professional stage.”( 2017 年, 18 岁的吴易昺赢得了美国男子公开赛冠军后shot to prominence,成为了首位赢得重要青少年锦标赛冠军的中国人,这使得人们对这位“神奇男孩”寄予厚望,希望他能在这项长期由女性主导的职业运动中改变中国男网的命运。)由此可知, 18岁的吴易昺赢得了美国男子公开赛冠军,改变了中国男网的命运,一下子变得很有名。由此可判断,划线词表示“一举成名”。故选C。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段第二句“However, the highly competitive nature of men's professional tennis hit the rising Wu with a tough reminder after multiple injuries-to his elbow, lower back, shoulder and wrist-forced him to be away from the ATP Tour for close to three years.”(然而,男子职业网球残酷的竞争特性打击了正处于上升期的吴易昺,他的肘部、下背部、肩膀和手腕多处受伤, 这迫使他离开 ATP 巡回赛近三年。)可知, 因为参加职业网球残酷的竞争,使得吴易昺受伤严重, 这迫使他离开 ATP 巡回赛近三年。故选B。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Looking back, I feel like I wouldn't have been here if not for the ups and downs over the past few years. I take all the setbacks and struggles as a lesson that helps me mature mentally now,” said Wu. “Of course there were a lot of doubts because I had surgery and the recovery wasn't going well. The championship today was a payoff for all the hard work and everyone who's supported me along the way.” (吴易昺表示,如果不是过去几年的起起伏伏,他就不会站在这里。他把所有的挫折和挣扎都视为一种帮助他在精神上成熟起来的财富。当然还有很多质疑的声音,因为他做了手术,且康复治疗进行得不太顺利。但今天的冠军是对他所有努力和每一位支持者的回报。)由此可知,此处他的表达给我们的启发是:没有过去辛勤的付出,就不会有今天的收获。A项No cross, no crown.意为“没有付出就没有收获”; B 项Well begun is half done.意为“好的开端是成功的一半”; C 项More haste, less speed.意为“趁热打铁”; D 项Time waits for no man.意为“时不待人”。A项符合文意。故选A。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。第一段提到“On February 13, 2023, Wu Yibing made history, beating John Isner in a thrilling three-set final at the Dallas Open to become the first man from China to win an ATP title.”(2023年2月13日,吴易昺创造了历史,在一场激动人心的达拉斯公开赛决赛中击败了约翰·伊斯内尔,成为第一位获得ATP冠军的中国人。)第二段提到了他开始进行网球运动的契机和取得的成绩。第三段提到了他因受伤而退出ATP比赛,最后一段则提到了他为了付出而所做的奴努力。通读全文,文章主要介绍了年少成名的网球运动员吴易昺由于严重受伤退出了 ATP 比赛,在经历三年的治疗康复后,最终复出,创造了中国网球的新历史。D项“The First Chinese Male Winner of ATP Title”(中国第一个男子ATP冠军)符合文意,可用作文章标题。故选D。
C
According to a recent report, in the US alone, 27 million tons of plastic ended up in landfills in 2018, but only 3.1 million tons were recycled. Worldwide the numbers are similarly bad, with just 9% of plastic being recycled. The statistics (统计数字) are even worse for certain types of plastic. For example, out of 80,000 tons of polystyrene (聚苯乙烯) containers produced in the United States, only a small amount (less than 5,000 tons) was recycled.
Now researchers at The University of Queensland have found a species of worm with a taste for polystyrene could be the key to plastic recycling. The superworm can eat through polystyrene, thanks to a bacterial enzyme in their gut. To study how superworms react to purely plastic food, researchers broke up 135 of the creatures into three teams: one was fed only wheat bran, another was fed only plastics, and the third was given nothing.
“We found the bran-fed worms have been significantly healthier than the plastic-fed or hungry worms, more than doubling their weight over the three weeks they have been observed. Though the plastic-fed worms made less impressive gains, they still put on more weight than the hungry worms,” Dr. Rinke said. “This suggests the worms can get energy from plastics, most likely with the help of their gut microbes (微生物).”
Researchers used a technique called metagenomics to find several encoded enzymes with the ability to reduce polystyrene. The long-term goal is to engineer enzymes to reduce plastic waste in recycling plants.
“Superworms are like mini recycling plants, eating the polystyrene and then feeding it to the bacteria in their gut,” Dr. Rinke said. It’s hoped this bio-upcycling will promote plastic waste recycling and reduce landfills. Researchers said they aim to grow the gut bacteria in the lab and further test its ability to reduce polystyrene. Then they can look into how to improve this process to a level required for an entire recycling plant.
8. What problem do the statistics in paragraph 1 indicate?
A. Landfills are poorly managed.
B. Plastics are recycled at a very low rate.
C. Many plastic containers are of poor quality.
D. It takes a long time for plastic waste to break up.
9. How do researchers conduct the study on superworms?
A. By collecting data. B. By making a comparison.
C. By introducing a concept. D. By referring to a previous study.
10. What can we infer from Dr. Rinke’s words?
A. Plastic-fed worms had a decline in weight.
B. Superworms showed little interest in wheat bran.
C. Superworms could survive on only eating polystyrene.
D. Bran-fed worms had a longer lifespan than plastic-fed worms.
11. What do researchers plan to do?
A. Conduct experiments on other worm species.
B. Improve gut bacteria’s ability to reduce plastics.
C. Apply the bio-upcycling technology to recycling plants.
D. Raise superworms in a big way to solve plastic pollution.
【答案】8. B 9. B 10. C 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了一种对聚苯乙烯有食欲的蠕虫可能是大规模塑料回收的关键。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“According to a recent report, in the US alone, 27 million tons of plastic ended up in landfills in 2018, but only 3.1 million tons were recycled. Worldwide the numbers are similarly bad, with just 9% of plastic being recycled.(根据最近的一份报告,仅在美国,2018年就有2700万吨塑料进入垃圾填埋场,但只有310万吨被回收利用。世界范围内的数据同样糟糕,只有9%的塑料被回收利用。)”可知,第一段中列出的数据是为了说明塑料回收率很低。故选B。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“To study how superworms react to purely plastic food, researchers broke up 135 of the creatures into three teams: one was fed only wheat bran, another was fed only plastics, and the third was given nothing.(为了研究超级蠕虫对纯塑料食物的反应,研究人员将135只超级蠕虫分成三组:一组只喂麦麸,另一组只喂塑料,第三组什么都不喂。)”可知,研究人员通过分组对比对超级蠕虫进行研究。故选B。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第三段的“Though the plastic-fed worms made less impressive gains, they still put on more weight than the hungry worms(虽然塑料喂养的蠕虫没有那么明显的增长,但它们的体重仍然比饥饿的蠕虫多)”和最后一段的“Superworms are like mini recycling plants, eating the polystyrene and then feeding it to the bacteria in their gut(超级蠕虫就像小型回收工厂,吃掉聚苯乙烯,然后把它喂给肠道里的细菌)”可知,我们能从Dr. Rinke的话中可以推断出超级蠕虫只靠吃聚苯乙烯就能存活。故选C。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“It’s hoped this bio-upcycling will promote plastic waste recycling and reduce landfills.(人们希望这种生物升级能促进塑料垃圾的回收利用,减少垃圾填埋场。)”及“Then they can look into how to improve this process to a level required for an entire recycling plant.(然后,他们可以研究如何将这一过程提高到整个回收厂所需的水平。)”可知,研究者们打算将生物循环技术应用于回收工厂,故选C。
D
The Indian government may use 3D paintings as virtual speed breakers(减速带) on major highways and roads, in order to check speeding and careless driving, and finally make its deadly roads a little safer. "We are trying out 3D paintings used as virtual speed breakers to avoid unnecessary requirements of speed breakers," India's transport minister Nitin Gadkari wrote.
The optical illusions(视觉错觉) are supposed to encourage drivers to slow down automatically. Earlier, India had ordered the removal of all speed breakers from highways, which are considered to be a safety hazard for high-speed vehicles. India has the highest number of road accident deaths in the world. According to the World Health Organisation, over 200,000 people are killed by road accidents.
The use of optical illusions as speed breakers was first pioneered in the American city of Philadelphia in 2008, as part of a campaign against speeding motorists. The technique has also been tried out in China to create floating 3D crossings. In India, cities such as Ahmedabad and Chennai have already experimented with 3D zebra crossings in the last one year. In Ahmedabad for instance, a mother and her daughter, both artists, have painted 3D crosswalks in the first few months of 2016. The artists say their motto is "to increase the attention of drivers", and that the concept has been successfully tested in accident-prone zones on a highway.
However, critics argue that once drivers know that these speed breakers are visual illusions, they may ignore them. Others also point out that India's decision does not consider the safety of a large number of pedestrians. In the end, the new policy may be just one step towards improving road safety.
12. Why are 3D paintings used on main highways and roads?
A. To make the surroundings more beautiful.
B. To attract the attention of tourists.
C. To reduce the rate of traffic accidents.
D. To show the advanced technology.
13. Which of the following words is closest to the meaning of “hazard” in paragraph 2?
A. Reminder B. Threat C. Regulation D. Theory
14. What can we learn from Paragraph 3 and 4?
A. The use of optical illusions as speed breakers is controversial in India.
B. Philadelphia is the second place to use virtual speed breakers in the US.
C. The idea tested in Ahmedabad recently has been a failure.
D. The new policy of 3D zebra crossings must be carried out.
15. What do we know about 3D zebra crossings from the text?
A. They can immediately lower the death rate.
B. They have been widely used in India so far.
C. They are designed to increase drivers’ attention.
D. They are welcomed by both drivers and pedestrians.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了印度在主要道路上使用3D视觉幻象装置的目的、作用及相关的争论。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“The Indian government may use 3D paintings as virtual speed breakers(减速带) on major highways and roads, in order to check speeding and careless driving, and finally make its deadly roads a little safer.”(印度政府可能会在主要高速公路和道路上使用3D画作为虚拟减速带,以遏制超速和粗心驾驶,最终使其致命的道路更加安全)第二段“The optical illusions(视觉错觉) are supposed to encourage drivers to slow down automatically.”(这种视觉错觉是为了鼓励司机自动减速。)可知主要道路上使用3D图案是为了减少提醒司机,减少交通事故。故选C。
【13题详解】
猜测词义题。根据第二段“Earlier, India had ordered the removal of all speed breakers from highway”此处指早些时候,印度下令拆除公路上的所有减速带,此举被认为造成了机动车行驶的安全隐患。“hazard”隐患,危险,与threat同义,故选B。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。第三段主要讲其他国家实行视觉幻象的例子及印度实施的成功之处,第四段讲一部分人认为的此装置的缺点。所以这两段主要讲了3D视觉幻象装置在印度实施过程中的争议,故选A。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“The optical illusions(视觉错觉) are supposed to encourage drivers to slow down automatically.”(这种视觉错觉是为了鼓励司机自动减速)和第三段“The artists say their motto is "to increase the attention of drivers", and that the concept has been successfully tested in accident-prone zones on a highway.”(艺术家们说他们的座右铭是“提高司机的注意力”,这个概念已经在高速公路上的事故易发区域成功测试)可知3D斑马线的设置是为了引起司机的注意,减少交通事故。故选C。

40. equally
41. a 42. It
43. survival
44. of 45. to make
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何阅读小说的策略。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:但是如果你正在为了学业读一本小说的话,你需要有条理。分析句子结构可知,由空前get可知, “get+ 过去分词”结构,表示“变得……”,符合题意,所以空处需用过去分词。故填organized。
【37题详解】
考查主谓一致。句意:这里有一些建议。本句是倒装句,句子的主语是 a few tips,为复数名词,根据上下文用一般现在时,所以空处be动词需用复数are。故填are。
【38题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:关于一个人物的一切都能帮助我们理解他,从他的外表到他吃的食物。分析句子结构可知,空处需用关系词引导定语从句,定语从句的先行词是不定代词 everything ,关系词在定语从句中作主语,所以空处需用that 引导定语从句。故填that。
【39题详解】
考查名词。句意:关于一个人物的一切都能帮助我们理解他,从他的外表到他吃的食物。his 是形容词性物主代词,后面应该用名词形式,appear的名词为appearance“外表”,此处特指他的外表,名词需用单数。故填appearance。
【40题详解】
考查副词。句意:此外,故事的顺序和情节同样重要。修饰形容词 important 应该用副词,故填 equally。
【41题详解】
考查固定短语和冠词。句意:确保你在阅读的时候,快速记下每一章的内容。make a(n) … note of... 记下……,为常用短语,note是可数名词,此处表示泛指,且 quick 以辅音音素开头,所以空处需用不定冠词a。故填a。
【42题详解】
考查it作形式主语。句意:如果你想充分欣赏这部小说,就必须熟悉主题。It is a must to do sth.做某事是必须的,固定句型,此处用It作形式主语,后面的不定式是真正的主语。故填It。
【43题详解】
考查名词。句意:也许爱是一个主要的主题,或正义,或生存。分析句子结构可知,所填词与a major theme,justice并列,应该填名词单数形式;survive的名词为survival“生存”,不可数名词。故填survival。
44题详解】
考查固定搭配。句意:此外,小说是由语言构成的。be made up of由……组成,为固定搭配。故填of。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:作家们用一种特殊的方式使他们的小说成功。结合句意可知,此处用不定式to make作目的状语,用特殊的方式使小说成功。故填to make。

The Dog Who Saved Our Family
We met Max at the pickup area of Alaska Airlines five years ago. He was a standard poodle(狮子狗)born on Valentine’s Day in 2017, and came to us in a small blue box. We had adopted him from an out-of-state raiser who posted the news on the social network. Our only request was that he have a calm behavior, able to bear the pushing and hugging of our eight-year-old daughter and six-year-old son.
We were a sweet little family:me,my husband, and our children, Sophie and Jake. But for years I’d felt as if we wouldn’t really be complete until we had a dog. Also, my husband worked in a business company and had to travel some 200 days a year for his job, and I knew I’d feel safer with a large animal sleeping by the door.
When we opened the box, the last piece of our puzzle fell into place. With his black hair and intelligent eyes,Max was beautiful. He was so small that he fit into the palm of my hand, his big paws lapping over the sides. He was also a little bit scared. As I pulled him close,I felt his heart pound and wondered if we’d done the right thing, taking him from his mother. But it was too late. Sophie and Jake were already fighting over who would hold him next and who should have the right to take a bath for him.
Over the following months, we spent endless hours watching Max play with his Kong toy or roll around the living room floor. Like most poodles, he was smart. He mastered house-training quickly and never chewed on our furniture or shoes. He considered himself one of us.

【答案】One possible version:
One night we were sleeping in the bed room when I heard some strange noise. I thought it was Max running and hitting something, so I kept lying in the bed and made an attempt to fall asleep again. However, the noise became louder and louder, which had already annoyed me. Swiftly I got up from my bed. I opened the door and found Max was running around the living room, trying to let all the things fall down. These abnormal behaviors really confused me while it also made me a little afraid.
At that time,Max ran towards me. He firmly grabbed my trousers and motioned me to the kitchen. As I approached the kitchen, I could obviously smell a strong burning scent and instantly knew what had happened. When I saw the fierce fire in the kitchen, I dashed into my children’s room like an arrow, waking them up at my maximum voice. Rushing out of the house together, I called 911 and asked our neighbors for help at the same time. Fortunately both my family and my house were saved. Thanks to our smart Max, we did escape from death.
