Thrughut the past year, we fllwed sme interesting new inventins in the field f artificial intelligence (AI). Here is a lk back at sme ntable AI develpments in 2022.
Meta’s speech-t-speech translatin
Facebk’s parent Meta said it had built a technlgy tl t directly translate between English and the Hkkien language, a spken language withut a widely used written frm. Meta said it trained its AI mdels n written text examples frm Mandarin Chinese. In additin, develpers used an encding (编码) tl designed t cmpare spken Hkkien t similar English text.
Methd t identify Parkinsn’s disease
Researchers annunced a new AI methd t identify Parkinsn’s disease. The system wrks by measuring a persn’s breathing patterns during sleep. With just ne night f sleep, the Al system was able t crrectly identify Parkinsn’s up t 86 percent f the time. With 12 nights f data, the rate went up t 95 percent.
Tl t interpret pig emtins
Researchers annunced they had created a technlgy tl that uses pig sunds t interpret different emtins. The tl is based n thusands f recrdings cllected frm mre than 400 pigs thrughut their lives. The scientists develped an AI-driven algrithm (算法) t identify a series f emtins pigs culd be experiencing. It is expected t lead t further systems farmers can use t imprve the prductivity and well-being f their animals.
Tl t fill in missing wrds in ancient writings
Researchers-led by Alphabet’s AI cmpany DeepMind-said they develped an AI system t help fill in missing wrds in ancient writings. The tl, called Ithaca, is designed t help histrians repair the writings and identify when and where they were written. The team said that when histrians wrk n their wn, the success rate fr repairing damaged writings is abut 25 percent. But when humans teamed up with Ithaca t assist in their wrk, the success rate jumped t 72 percent.

Imagine a wrld in 2050 where cities are full f autnmus vehicles, AI-driven assistants (助手) perfectly fit int ur daily rutines, and virtual landscapes cexist with reality. Frm technlgical advances t climate change impacts, the next few decades will undubtedly reshape the structure f ur existence.
In this new era, artificial intelligence and rbtics will take center stage, transfrming hw we interact with ur envirnment and ne anther. They will have evlved frm mere tls t cmpanins (同伴) that predict ur needs and desires. The nce-distant dream f having AI-driven persnal assistants is nw a reality, as they manage ur schedules, handle ur cmmunicatins, and ffer persnalized recmmendatins with extrardinary accuracy.
Hwever, as we fast-frward t 2050, ne cannt help but think abut the huge effects f climate change n ur planet. At present, mst f us are lacking the imaginatin f what daily life will be like when we have slashed ur carbn emissins (碳排放), frm ur hmes and fd t travel and the landscapes arund us. What fllws is an attempt t shw yu hw a day will lk in a net zer greenhuse gas emissins wrld.

The few jbs left are in service, culture r health care. Luckily, Edie has her jb. Every mrning, she checks the balance in her Persnal Carbn Allwance (PCA) accunt t see if she has enugh t buy anther battery fr her e-bike. If she desn’t have enugh then she will have t buy carbn credits, and they are expensive.
This stry f 2050 is ne f hpe and pssibility — a reminder that while enjying the cnvenience brught by technlgical prgress, we shuld als be respnsible fr the envirnment.

Facebk has turned ut t be ne f the mst visited and mst ppular scial media sites in the wrld. When it cmes t talking abut Facebk, we cannt stp urselves frm describing its creatr, Mark Zuckerberg. His success stry and Facebk have inspired many peple all ver the wrld in different ways.
Mark Zuckerberg was brn int a well-educated family and develped an interest in cmputer prgramming at an early age. His first cmputer was a Quantex 486DX, pwered by the Intel 486 prcessr. When Mark was 12 years ld, his father intrduced him t Atari BASIC Prgramming. At such a yung age, Mark managed t use the prgram t cme up with his wn messenger called the ZuckNet. Thanks t his first creatin, all the cmputers in his huse were cnnected t the nes in his father’s dental ffice. Within that cnnected system, the cmputer users were allwed t send messages t each ther.
Mark Zuckerberg created his billin-dllar scial netwrking site based n a simple cncept. He was trying t cmpare phts f tw different peple and he invited ther peple t vte and decide which ne was better lking. At Harvard University, with his three classmates, he had cme up with the Facebk’s predecessr, Facemash. Mark Zuckerberg finally started t write the cde fr a new website later knwn as Facebk in 2004. This new site was equipped with new ideas and mre useful features, including a sectin where users can share their cmments. Facebk managed t becme ppular with many mre users at many universities arund the cuntry. It nly tk less than a few mnths fr Mark Zuckerberg t spread his netwrking site t cuntless numbers f schls and universities in the United States and Canada.
Six years later TIME magazine made him Persn f the Year fr his scial netwrking site. In 2018, Frbes included Mark in the list f the 400 richest peple in the wrld.
28．What’s Zuckerberg’s first achievement as a prgrammer?

B．Mark first managed t spread it amng IT business.
C．It is directly based n ZuckNet.
D．It has helped Mark rank amng tp billinaires arund the wrld.
30．When did TIME magazine feature Mark Zuckerberg n its cver?

Martha Siede, wh has lived with dystnic cerebral palsy (肌张力障碍型脑瘫) since birth, gives vice t her experience in In Pursuit f “Nrmal”, a wrk that tuches peple nt thrugh explanatin but thrugh the quiet weight f its bservatin. T read it as smene familiar with disability is t recgnize ne’s wn reflectins in anther’s mirrr—less a discvery than a return.
What stands apart is Martha’s refusal t sften the reccurring nature f ur bstacles. She writes that hspitals, where ne might assume disability wuld be taken care f, ften functin instead as mnuments t misfitting—“like trying t fit a square peg in a rund hle”. Martha’s experiences reflected my wn frustratin there: narrw drways and crwded spaces that were difficult fr me t pass thrugh.
Thrughut each stage f her life, Martha excels in fair, inclusive envirnments and struggles greatly therwise. My favrite adaptatin explred in this bk is that f clthing brands emplying seated mdels in wheelchairs in their advertisements—nt as a favr, but as reimaginatin f wh is seen, and hw.
Martha makes a clear, easy-t-fllw distinctin between when she gets the kind f supprt that makes her life mre equal, and when she des nt. Recunting these hardships never feels like a lecture r a reframing f histry. Instead, Martha has written smething that feels hnest and strikes a balance between serius health cncerns and cnversatins where she’s direct abut sme tugh tpics. This tne is very true t my experience f living with depressin and disability.
The bk will speak, t, t caregivers—nt with instructin, but with insight. Within Martha’s telling f struggle and perseverance lies a deeper suggestin: that pssibility is sustained nt by the absence f limitatin, but by the presence f humr and determinatin. It’s nt just a tale f survival; it’s a testament t her strength and reslve.
32．What is the issue faced by disabled peple accrding t paragraph 2?
A．The lack f access t emergency care.B．The neglect f their emtinal cnditin.
C．The gap between their needs and facilities.D．The shrtage f available staff t help them.
33．Why des the authr speak highly f sme clthing advertisements?
A．Because they shw clthing in a variety f sizes.
B．Because they ffer fashin guides t wheelchair users.
C．Because they feature mdels with different figures.
D．Because they help wheelchair users visualize the clthing.
34．Hw des the authr describe the tne f the bk?
A．Frmal and practical.B．Subjective and realistic.
C．Optimistic and abstract.D．Sincere and straightfrward.
35．What is the mst apprpriate title fr the passage?
A．Martha Siede: A fighter Against disabilities
B．In Pursuit f “Nrmal”: Mre Than a Disabled Persn’s Stry
C．Hw Inclusive Envirnments Shape Disabled Peple’s Lives
D．The Challenges Faced by Disabled Individuals in Daily Life
In cities acrss the glbe, up t a quarter f ffice buildings are unccupied, alng with ther urban prperties, frm strage t abandned skyscrapers. T put this space t use, many cities are transfrming empty buildings fr ther uses. 36
Just as the name suggests, vertical (垂直的) farming is the practice f grwing crps in layers as ppsed t traditinal hrizntal rws. These layers are ften placed in spaces unfit fr farming, but nw we can grw crps there due t advanced agricultural methds. 37 Hwever, thanks t technlgy, artificial light, and cntrlled temperatures and humidity, ffice spaces have prved t be great envirnments fr farming.
38 It dates back t ver 2,000 years ag with the Hanging Gardens f Babyln. Mdern vertical farming simply began as an experiment in 1999, fcused n grwing fd n the rftps f Manhattan. Their wrk eventually transfrmed int using high-rise buildings as vertical farms t feed thusands f peple in a sustainable manner. Vertical farming is nw a $6 billin industry.
The main benefit f vertical farming is that it maximizes the yield f crps by efficiently using space. 39 It is made pssible by their cntrlled envirnments and silless agriculture methds like hydrpnics (水培法). Hydrpnics allws plants t grw in a water-based slutin rather than sil, saving water. In fact, hydrpnic systems nly require 10% f the water f a traditinal field.
Despite being untraditinal, vertical farms prduce ver 50 types f plants, ranging frm leafy greens and herbs t experimental fruits and mre! 40 The reasn lies in that they are capable f grwing a variety f prduce at all times and prviding peple with lcal fresh fds at affrdable prices.
A．Vertical farming has a rich histry.
B．One slutin is indr vertical farming.
C．The practice isn’t as simple as it sunds.
D．Mst vertical farms can grw all year rund.
E．That said, vertical farming will replace traditinal agriculture sn.
F．Despite the benefits, the methd als cmes with cnsiderable dwnsides.
G．This diversity and cnsistent utput help address a critical urban issue: fd deserts.

Are sme facial expressins universal acrss cultures? Imagine walking int a htel lbby (大厅) in a freign cuntry. Yu’re tired frm a lng jurney, but yu dn’t have a rm 56 (bk). The htel lks busy, but yu’re hpeful there’s a rm available. Befre appraching the clerk at the desk, yu stp t study her face, 57 (assess) her level f friendliness. She lks pleasant, s yu decide t apprach, but first yu take care t put n a smile, hping 58 (perceive) as friendly.
Reading facial expressins 59 (be) a cmmn means f interpreting what peple are thinking r feeling, particularly acrss a language barrier. While the basic 60 (interpret) f an expressin may hld true acrss cultures, learned behavir 61 (pattern) d affect the way peple interpret facial expressins differently. Fr example, a smile is 62 (universal) interpreted as an indicatr f happiness, and friendliness. But the way it is used amng cultures can carry different meanings. Sme cultures perceive that Americans use their smiles t much, raising questins f insincerity. And in sme Asian cultures, a smile can be used t vercme an uncmfrtable r anxiety-causing situatin, 63 , t ther cultures, may seem inapprpriate.
Cmmunicating acrss a language barrier can be difficult, but remembering that ur drawing cnclusins accrding 64 facial expressins can help. S next time yu are tired in a freign htel lbby, think abut yur facial expressin: a relaxed face and gentle smile may get yu 65 gd night’s sleep.

One year ag, when we were in the fifth grade, a new classmate named Jack jined us. One day, a by kncked his backpack and many crushed sda cans and empty drink bttles that we usually thrw int the dustbin fell ut. Therefre, the bys in ur class mcked him as the “trash king”.
Later, during a class meeting, ur teacher, Ms. Green, tld us abut his stry f using garbage t make inventins. It turned ut that Jack was nt an rdinary elementary schl student, but a “garbage-inspired inventr” wh had wn the city inventin award. Accrding t Ms. Green, mst f his inventins were picked up frm garbage dumps. During that class meeting, Jack shwed us his inventin f a “dmestic wastewater separatin system”.
Afterwards, sme f us became deeply interested in these small inventins and started t admire Jack’s way f “picking up trash”. We even jined him in picking up trash n weekends and during hlidays. Frm then n, we n lnger called him the “trash king”. Instead, we frmed a grup f five bys and actively searched fr usable materials in varius garbage dumps arund the city. Under Jack’s guidance, we learned that there are many uses fr seemingly useless trash. Once, we stayed at schl t prcess the cllected materials. Jack mentined that he was facing a prblem with his latest inventin — a small cart fr buying vegetables that needed t be lightweight. All ther materials were slved except fr the wheels. Hw culd we find a suitable material fr the wheels? We racked ur brains and came up with different ideas, fr example, taking ff the wheels frm suitcases. Hwever, Jack reminded us that ur grup shuld fcus n making inventins frm waste rather than causing damage t create them. We were all deep in thught.

导语：这是一篇说明文。文章以酒店场景引入指出表情解读是跨语言交流方式，也提及文化差异影响解读，建议关注表情助交流。
56．考查非谓语动词。句意：你经过长途旅行后很累，但你还没有预订房间。此处a rm（房间）与 bk（预订）之间是被动关系，即房间被预订，所以应用过去分词作宾语补足语。故填bked。
57．考查非谓语动词。句意：在走向前台工作人员之前，你停下来观察她的脸，评估她的友好程度。句子的谓语动词是 stp，assess（评估）与逻辑主语yu之间是主动关系，应用现在分词形式作伴随状语。故填assessing。

63．考查定语从句。句意：在一些亚洲文化中，微笑可以用来克服不舒服或引起焦虑的情况，而在其他文化中，这可能是不合适的。此处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词是前面整个句子a smile can be used t vercme an uncmfrtable r anxiety-causing situatin，且关系词在从句中作主语，所以应用关系代词which。故填which。
64．考查固定短语。句意：跨越语言障碍的交流可能很困难，但记住我们根据面部表情得出结论是有帮助的。accrding t是固定短语，意为“根据，按照”，符合此处“根据面部表情得出结论”的语境。故填t。
65．考查不定冠词。句意：所以，下次当你在一家外国酒店的大堂感到疲倦时，想想你的面部表情：一个放松的脸和温柔的微笑可能会让你睡个好觉。a gd night’s sleep是固定表达，意为“一夜好眠”，此处表示泛指“一个”，且gd是以辅音音素开头的单词，所以应用不定冠词a。故填a。
