WELCOME TO THE VIRTUAL REALITY
CINEMA AMSTERDAM
World's First Reality Cinema
Going to the VR CINEMA offers you the opportunity to watch movies like you've never done before. You can see 360-degree movies using a VR headset. In the VR CINEMA, ringing mobile phones and noisy visitors belong to the past. Furthermore, traditional red cinema chairs or the big white screen is nowhere to be found. Instead, a Samsung Galaxy S6 (smart phone) together with the Samsung Gear VR (virtual reality glasses) transports you to a wholly new world. Headphones shut out background noise, and above all, offer super sound quality. Turning chairs allows you to freely look around and see what's happening above, below, behind, in front, on the right and on the left side of you. So no sore neck, we promise.
In the VR CINEMA, you will experience 30 minutes of the coolest virtual reality films. We proudly present four film selections in different themes in order to please every virtual reality lover. Are you brave enough for our scary films? Will you lose yourself in VR documentaries from around the globe? Do you prefer to go on an adventurous journey like no other? Or do your kids want to swim with dolphins, interact with magical characters, and experience the moving stories beyond imagination? The four film selections are waiting for you!
For kids, young and older ones, there's the cheerful and colorful selection. The only thing you have to do is sit back, relax and enjoy the VR experience of your choice.

Picture a young Chinese woman in a field, dressed in traditional hemp (麻布) clothing, as she picks flowers to create makeup for her cheeks. Imagine the same person making a bamboo sofa, making soy sauce and cooking all sorts of delicious dishes.
It may sound hard to believe, but such a person exists in modern China, and her name is Li Ziqi. On Dec. 14, 2019 she won the Person of the Year in the category of cultural influence awarded by China Newsweek.
With a fan base of more than 27 million people on Sina Weibo and over 10 million followers on the video-sharing site YouTube, Li has made a name for herself in a series of videos that show off a pre-industrial Chinese way of life in rural Sichuan province. “I want to do my part to let more people know about Chinese culture,” the blogger told the reporter. “Much of the popularity of my videos owes to the attraction of Chinese culture.”
Li seems to be a master of all kinds of skills—cooking, painting, design and farming. She raises silkworms to sew a quilt for her grandmother and grows plants. Many videos show her picking seasonal ingredients from her own garden and cooking them up with her wood-fired wok. A warm bowl of soup for the winter, a lighter plate of noodles for the summer, Li follows the seasons in her cooking, as China's traditional 24 solar terms also do, and makes food suitable for the particular climate.
“She told the stories of Chinese culture and those of China,” the official Sina Weibo account of China Central Television noted. The success of Li Ziqi also comes from her “passion for life, for her home and for her culture”. Indeed, Li's simple pleasures amaze people living in the hustle and bustle of big cities. “She leads a life that many dream of, but don't dare to give up their current life in exchange for,” iFeng.com wrote. Her handmade lifestyle is a fantasy for many. “In today's society, many feel stressed,” she told the South China Morning Post. “When they watch my videos at the end of a busy day, I want them to relax and experience something nice, to take away some of their anxiety and stress.”
4.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A.Li Ziqi enjoys 10 million followers on Twitter.
B.Li Ziqi won the Person of the Year awarded by Chinese government.
C.Li makes suitable food to follow the changes of climate.
D.Li's videos can't bring pleasure to people in big cities.
5.What makes Li's videos so successful at home and abroad?
A.Her love for Chinese culture.
B.Her confidence in Chinese culture.
C.The attraction of her videos.
D.Her excellent ability to make handicrafts.
6.What do the underlined words “hustle and bustle” in Paragraph 5 mean?
A.Noisy and stressful.
B.Busy but relaxing.
C.Fantastic and enjoyable.
D.Quiet and comfortable.
7.Which of following statements does Li Ziqi probably agree?
A.Life in the countryside is more challenging than that in big cities.
B.Traditional wisdom is by no means outdated.
C.Peace in mind makes life happier and easier.
D.Learning how to cook seasonally is essential for survival in the countryside.
C
Walmart will soon use 360 robot cleaners across a few hundred of its stores. Using maps input by human employees, the AI-powered cleaners will travel in the store with no difficulty, sweeping the floor—just as human employees used to do.
Perhaps the most striking thing about these robot workers is how not-striking they are. Sci-fi movies suggest a future full of human-like robots who appear with their horrible qualities. Now the future is coming into view, and it looks like a giant lie. It's easy to imagine walking past an Auto-C on a shopping trip without even noticing its presence.
AI has already started to become a part of our everyday life. In New Jersey this week, dozens of workers were hospitalized after a robot at an Amazon fulfillment centre accidentally broke a can and enveloped workers in eye-and-lung-damaging gas. Days earlier in California, an auto-piloted Tesla drove a drunk, sleeping driver down a highway, which no doubt did some potential risks to the other drivers on the road. Highway patrol officers figured out on the spot how to stop the AI car.
Of course, industrial accidents and drunk drivers existed well before AI. Tools with the power to release the burden of physical labor—horses, steam machines, self-driving cars—also come with the power to injure. And the presence of AI-powered machines just steps away from us is, for now, still a rare thing for most people.
But the nature of robots' coming into our daily life will make it harder to recognize—or object to—the bigger changes they bring later. Walmart insists that the robot cleaners give employees more time for customer service and other tasks. Critics point out that they could just as easily become an excuse to reduce staff and wages.
8.What is the difference between sci-fi movies and the reality?
A.Now the human-like robot is not hard to recognize.
B.Now people don't go to see the sci-fi movies.
C.Now the human-like robots can tell lies.
D.Now it is easy to ignore the robots.
9.Why were some workers in hospital in New Jersey?
A.They damaged the robot first.
B.The robot caused an accident on purpose.
C.The robot made a mistake by chance.
D.The robot driving them on the highway had an accident.
10.What is the attitude of the author to AI?
A.Supportive. B.Objective.
C.Doubtful. D.Indifferent.
11.What is the main idea of the passage?
A.Artificial intelligence is bringing great effect to our daily life.
B.Walmart will soon use 360 robot cleaners across all its stores.
C.We should say no to artificial intelligence.
D.Artificial intelligence is dangerous to our life.
D
Thanks to the progress of artificial intelligence(AI), robots have won against human players in a number of games, such as chess, Go and even mahjong. And now, AI-powered robots are showing their talent in professional curling(冰壶).
Recently, a robot team named Curly has drawn much attention as it successfully beat two South Korean national curling teams. Researchers from Korea University in South Korea, and Technical University of Berlin in Germany developed the robot.
Curling is a challenging sport that requires a mix of precision(精确度) and strategy. In the game, a player called the “thrower” gently slides the stone and releases it before a boundary(界线) called the “hog line”. The stone slides down to the target, known as the “house”. An opposing team does the same, so both teams accumulate stones in the same house. At the end of the round, the team with a stone closest to the center of the target gets a point.
This requires the players to figure out the force and angle needed to slide a heavy stone in order to land it in the house or make it into another position. Players also have to form a strategy to prevent the opponent from getting their stones closest to the center of the house. And apparently, Curly has made progress in mastering these skills.
Curly is a team of two robots: One is responsible for observing the position of the stones at the scoring end, while the other does the throwing. But how was this robot programmed to achieve this?
Researchers built a simulation(模拟) of a curling game for the robots to play around. In the simulation, the researchers approximated the physics of the real world as best as they could, considering various conditions, such as the ice surface and the positions of stones. Then, there is curling strategy. The robots were trained in different situations to deal with various throws. The researchers found that Curly adapted to many variables(变量) of the game the same way a person would.
This shows that a robot can observe the real world and act accordingly in a precise and strategic manner, which is a sign of a promising future for the ever-expanding use of AI.
12.What do we know about the team of robots named Curly?
A.It can play different kinds of sports.
B.It defeated human players in sports games.
C.It is more advanced in sports than other robots.
D.It was developed by researchers from South Korea.
13.What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A.The way to play curling.
B.The use of AI in sports competitions.
C.The ways Curly can be improved.
D.The reasons why Curly was invented.
14.What did researchers find out about Curly when it was being trained?
A.It could consider different conditions.
B.It could develop new game strategies.
C.It could build a simulation of a game.
D.It could copy what human players did.
15.What attitude does the author have toward AI technologies?
A.Worried. B.Unconcerned.
C.Annoyed. D.Hopeful.

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Last Sunday I was thinking about the difference between successful people and those who don't achieve anything significant. I made an interesting discovery. This difference may at first look obvious, but the fact is quite the opposite. 16 Everyone has a purpose behind their actions. If they don't, they wouldn't take action.
17 When they take action, at the back of their minds they think about success that this action is going to bring them.
18 What's the purpose behind your actions? Do you work to thrive (蓬勃发展) or to survive? Do you go to work to feed your family or to create an amazing lifestyle?
Different purposes will result in completely different life experiences. People who work to survive are the ones who fear that some unexpected bills will arrive. They go to bed worrying about money and unimportant things. They hate their employment but don't quit because they doubt their own ability to create something greater. I know this kind of feeling because I was like that once. That's a very uncomfortable state to be in because you are constantly worried about insignificant things. 19 Therefore, you cannot achieve anything great.
Now there are some people who don't accept the “Life is hard” story and they are fueled by an entirely different purpose. They work to thrive. 20 They have a beautiful vision and they take constant action to make that vision a reality.
A.So let me ask you a few questions.
B.This state does not allow you to be creative.
C.It lies in what motivates people to take action.
D.Such an attitude invites great opportunities to you.
E.And they don't think about why something cannot be done.
F.And this makes you take even more or better quality action.
G.But successful people have a completely different purpose behind their actions.

“Please don't wake up,” I plead silently with my 10-month-old son as I log into another Zoom meeting from my tiny New York City apartment.

It has led to a unique type of Zoom burnout, one I fear is 25 to working mothers.
I've always tried to hide my motherhood 26 from plain view. I don't have photos of my children on display in my university office, 27 some of my male colleagues clearly feel comfortable doing so. I haven't wanted my colleagues to 28 me as less committed to my work because I have children. 29 now, working from home, I feel unable to control whether my children are 30 .
My workdays are 31 with meetings to discuss research projects. When the pandemic started and the meetings 32 to Zoom, I felt an unspoken 33 to turn my camera on. Almost everyone else had their camera on, and I feared that if I kept mine off, I wouldn't be viewed as “present”. The 34 I experience during Zoom meetings compounds other stressors in my life. However, reduced anxiety and a chance to take care of household duties while still contributing to the meeting—are 35 it to me.

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。
There was a rich couple who was throwing a big New Year party at their house. So they went shopping at the market where everything was of high cost and at a fixed price. They wanted to maintain their level of standard so they didn't mind paying for it. After purchasing all they needed, they called a porter to carry everything and drop it at their home. The porter who came was of an old age, and looked very unhealthy, and his clothes were torn, and he looked as if he wasn't even able to meet his daily needs.
They asked the porter about the charges for delivering their goods to their home. The old porter quoted just $20, well below the market price. Yet, the couple argued and bargained with the porter and finally settled for $15. The porter was struggling to make even one time's meal so he needed anything he could earn.
The couple was very happy thinking how well they bargained with the poor porter and paid him $15 in advance and left after giving the porter their address for delivery. They reached their home and one hour passed, and two hours passed, but the porter still didn't deliver their stuff.
The wife started to get angry at her husband, “I always tell you not to trust such person, but you never listen to me. I am sure instead of delivering the goods to our home, he must have disappeared with everything. We must immediately go back to the market to inquire and then to the police station to file the complaint against him.”
They both left towards the market. On their way near the market, they saw another porter. They stopped him to inquire about the old porter and noticed that he was carrying their goods in his cart! The angry wife asked him, “Where is that old thief? These are our goods and he was supposed to deliver them. It seems you poor thieves are stealing our goods and going to sell them.”
注意:续写词数应为 150 左右。
Paragraph 1:
When the porter heard the angry wife asking,he turned back.
Paragraph 2:
Upon hearing this, the husband had tears in his eyes.

8.D 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Sci-fi movies suggest a future...even noticing its presence.”可知,在现实中,人们经常忽略机器人的存在。而在科幻电影中,机器人是一种可怕的存在。D项(现在很容易忽略机器人)切合题意。故选D。根据第二段可知,现在机器人是很难被注意到的,故A项“现在,类人机器人不难识别”错误。B项“现在人们不去看科幻电影”文中未提及。根据第二段中的“Now the future is coming into view, and it looks like a giant lie.”可知,这里的谎言,指的是科幻电影中的机器人与现实中的机器人完全不一样,并不是类人机器人说谎。故C项“现在类人机器人可能说谎”不正确。

12.B 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Recently, a robot team named Curly has drawn much attention as it successfully beat two South Korean national curling teams.”可知,名为Curly的机器人团队在比赛中打败了人类的队伍。故选B。文章涉及的都是Curly在冰壶方面的才能,所以,A项(它可以做各种各样的运动)说法不正确。根据第二段可知,Curly在冰壶运动中打败了韩国国家队,所以,只能看出它在冰壶运动这方面比人类队伍更高级。所以,C项(在运动中,它比其他的机器人更高级)说法不正确。根据第二段最后一句可知,韩国高丽大学和德国柏林工业大学的研究人员共同开发了这款机器人,故D项(它是由韩国研究人员研发的)说法不正确。
13.A 主旨大意题。根据第三段中的“In the game, a player called...gets a point.”可知,本段是在讲冰壶的玩法。故选A。B(人工智能在运动比赛中的应用)、C(可以改进Curly的方法)及D(Curly被发明的原因)均不是第三段的主旨。
14.A 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段最后一句“The researchers found that Curly adapted to many variables(变量) of the game the same way a person would.”及最后一段“This shows that a robot can observe the real world and act accordingly in a precise and strategic manner, which is a sign of a promising future for the ever-expanding use of AI.”可知,研究人员发现Curly能够根据不同的情况做出适应的策略。故选A。B(它可以发展新的游戏策略)和C (它可以建立一个模拟竞赛)在文中未提及;根据倒数第二段最后一句可知,Curly能够像人一样适应游戏中的许多变量,但不是复制人类的做法。故D项(它可以复制玩家所做的事)错误。
15.D 推理判断题。根据最后一段可知,这表明机器人能够观察真实世界,并相应地以精确而有策略的方式行动,这是人工智能不断扩大应用的光明前景的一个信号。故可推知,作者认为人工智能的应用是乐观的(hopeful)。故选D。worried 担忧的;unconcerned不关心的;annoyed恼怒的。

第二节
◎语篇解读 本文是一篇议论文。文章讨论了每个人的行动背后都有一个目标,但成功人士在他们的行动背后都有一个完全不同的目标,他们为成功而采取行动。
16.C 由上一句“This difference may at first look obvious, but the fact is quite the opposite.”和下一句“Everyone has a purpose behind their actions.”可知,成功人士和那些没有取得任何重大成就的人之间是有区别的,因为每个人的行为背后都有目的,目的不同,人们采取的行动就会不同,设空处承接上下文,C选项“它在于是什么激励人们采取行动。”切题。故选C项。
17.G 本文主要讲成功人士的成功在于他们的行动背后都有一个完全不同的目标。由上段中“Everyone has a purpose behind their actions. If they don't, they wouldn't take action.”和下一句“When they take action, at the back of their minds they think about success that this action is going to bring them.”可知,每个人的行为背后都有目的,但成功人士有着完全不同的目的,他们会想这个行动给他们带来怎样的成功,设空处承接上下文,G选项“但成功人士的行为背后有着完全不同的目的。”切题。故选G项。
18.A 设空处后面三句作者向读者提出了三个问题(你行动的目的是什么?你工作是为了茁壮成长还是为了生存?你上班是为了养家糊口还是为了创造一种令人惊叹的生活方式?),设空处承接下文,A选项“所以让我问你几个问题。”切题。故选A项。
19.B 由上一句“That's a very uncomfortable state to be in because you are constantly worried about insignificant things.(那是一种非常不舒服的状态,因为你总是担心一些无关紧要的事情。)”可知,B选项中的This state对应上文中的a very uncomfortable state,B选项“这种状态不允许你有创造性。”切题。故选B项。
20.E 由上面两句“Now there are some people who don't accept the ‘Life is hard’ story and they are fueled by an entirely different purpose. They work to thrive.”和下一句“They have a beautiful vision and they take constant action to make that vision a reality.”可知,有些人不相信生活是艰难的,他们为成功而努力,有一个美丽的愿望且不断采取行动来实现那个愿望,说明这些人为了成功不会去想什么事情该不该做,承接上下文,E选项“他们不去想为什么有些事不能做。”切题。故选E项。
【高频词汇】 1.significant adj.有重大意义的 2.opposite n.对立面 3.result in导致;引起 4.employment n.职业;工作

◎语篇解读 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者作为一名职业母亲因为疫情原因而不得不在家云视频办公的焦虑与压力。
21.B 考查名词词义辨析。句意:我使用了一个虚拟的背景——一张我大学办公室的照片——来掩盖我在厨房里的事实,在厨房里更容易避开来自我三岁的女儿大声叫“妈妈!”和我幼小的儿子饥饿的哭声。place 地方;background 背景;apartment 公寓;experience 经验,经历。根据后文“a picture of my university office—to 22 the fact that I'm in my kitchen”可知,作者其实是在厨房,但她用了一个大学办公室照片的背景图。故选B项。
22.D 考查动词词义辨析。句意同上一题。prove 证明;display 显示;clarify 阐明,澄清;hide 藏,遮掩。根据后文“I'm in my kitchen”可知,作者其实是在厨房,但是她用了一个虚拟的办公室背景,可以猜到这样做的目的其实是掩盖作者在厨房的事实。故选D项。
23.A 考查名词词义辨析。句意同21题。cry叫喊;application 应用;choke 哽噎;circumstance 条件,环境。根据“the hunger”和“infant son”可知,她的小儿子还是个婴儿,因此当她儿子饿的时候肯定会哭。故选A项。
24.C 考查动词短语辨析。句意:这样的会议——新冠肺炎疫情的副产品——增加了我作为一名职业母亲感受到的压力,我试图掩盖我作为母亲的生活的混乱现实。put off 推迟;try out 测试;add to 增加;wind up 完成。根据前文可知,作者躲在厨房,做了一张办公室虚拟照片来开会,又怕孩子们的哭声干扰到她的工作,可想而知,作为职业母亲,这种会议无疑给她增添了很多压力。故选C项。
25.B 考查形容词词义辨析。句意:这导致了一种独特的因Zoom 而产生的“精疲力竭”,我恐怕这种情况只会发生在职业母亲身上。elegant 文雅的;specific 特有的;potential 潜在的;abnormal 反常的。根据前文可知,作为母亲既要照顾孩子们,又要好好工作,身兼多职,这种疲倦恐怕也只能发生在职业母亲身上。故选B项。
26.A 考查名词。句意:我总是试图在目所能及之处掩盖我作为母亲的责任。根据后文“ I haven't wanted my colleagues to 28 me as less committed to my work because I have children.”可知,作者不想让同事们觉得自己因为有孩子要照顾而不尽心工作,因此可推知作者在众人面前希望可以掩盖自己母亲身份的职责,全身心投入工作。故选A项。
27.D 考查固定短语辨析。句意:我没有在大学办公室里展示孩子们的照片,尽管我的一些男同事显然觉得这样做很自在。as though 好像,仿佛;so that 以便;so long as 只要;even though 虽然,即使。根据后文“clearly feel comfortable doing so”可知,作者的同事很显然不觉得不舒服,但是作者并没有这么做。故选D项。
28.C 考查动词词义辨析。句意:我不想让同事们认为我因为有孩子而对工作不那么投入。select 选择;appoint 任命;view 看待,考虑;sacrifice 牺牲。view...as...为固定短语,意为“认为……是……”,符合句意。故选C项。
29.B 考查连词词义辨析。句意:但现在,在家工作,我觉得无法控制我的孩子是否会被他们看见。and 并且;but 但是;so 所以;though 虽然。根据后文“working from home, I feel unable to control whether my children are 30 ”可知,该段一直说的是作者不想在办公室提及或展示孩子,但是在家里办公,就控制不住孩子是否有可能出现在视频里。故选B项。
30.D 考查形容词词义辨析。句意同上一题。fortunate 幸运的;aggressive 侵略的,好斗的;sceptical 怀疑的;visible 明显的,看得见的。根据前文可知,作者在办公室没有展示孩子们的照片,此处与前文形成转折,表示在家办公后,作者无法控制孩子是否会被看到。故选D项。
31.C 考查动词词义辨析。句意:我的工作日充满了讨论研究项目的会议。qualify 使具备资格;counter 反驳;fill 充满;split 分离。be filled with...为固定短语,意为“充满......”,此处表示作者工作繁忙。故选C项。
32.A 考查动词词义辨析。句意:当疫情开始,会议切换到云视频会议时,我在要打开摄像机时感到一种说不出口的压力。switch 转变,改变;convey传达;brake刹(车);remove 去掉。根据前文“When the pandemic started ”可知,疫情期间在家办公,此处与前文“log into ”相呼应,表示切换到云视频会议。故选A项。
33.B 考查名词词义辨析。句意同上一题。benefit 利益,好处;pressure 压力;withdrawal 撤回;crash 碰撞。根据前文可知,作者不想要同事们看到自己作为职业母亲的混乱局面,也不想让他们觉得自己因为有孩子而不够专心工作,因此在家的云视频会议打开摄像机会很有压力,此处与前文“stress”相呼应。故选B项。
34.D 考查名词词义辨析。句意:我在云视频会议期间经历的焦虑会加重我生活中的其他压力。section 部分;competence 胜任;evaluation 评价;anxiety 焦虑,渴望。根据后文“reduced anxiety”可知,此处与“anxiety”相呼应,表示作者的焦虑心情。故选D项。

长难句分析
原句 I use a virtual background—a picture of my university office—to hide the fact that I'm in my kitchen, where it's easier to avoid the loud calls for “Mama!” from my 3-year-old daughter and the hunger cries of my infant son.
分析 本句为主从复合句。句子主干为I use a virtual background.;to hide the fact that I'm in my kitchen为目的状语,that I'm in my kitchen为同位语从句;where 引导非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词kitchen。
句意 我使用虚拟背景——一张我大学办公室的照片——来掩盖我在厨房的事实,在厨房里更容易避开我三岁的女儿大声喊“妈妈!”和刚出生的儿子饥饿的哭喊声。

Picture a young Chinese woman in a field, dressed in traditional hemp (麻布) clothing, as she picks flowers to create makeup for her cheeks. Imagine the same person making a bamboo sofa, making soy sauce and cooking all sorts of delicious dishes.
It may sound hard to believe, but such a person exists in modern China, and her name is Li Ziqi. On Dec. 14, 2019 she won the Person of the Year in the category of cultural influence awarded by China Newsweek.
With a fan base of more than 27 million people on Sina Weibo and over 10 million followers on the video-sharing site YouTube, Li has made a name for herself in a series of videos that show off a pre-industrial Chinese way of life in rural Sichuan province. “I want to do my part to let more people know about Chinese culture,” the blogger told the reporter. “Much of the popularity of my videos owes to the attraction of Chinese culture.”
Li seems to be a master of all kinds of skills—cooking, painting, design and farming. She raises silkworms to sew a quilt for her grandmother and grows plants. Many videos show her picking seasonal ingredients from her own garden and cooking them up with her wood-fired wok. A warm bowl of soup for the winter, a lighter plate of noodles for the summer, Li follows the seasons in her cooking, as China's traditional 24 solar terms also do, and makes food suitable for the particular climate.
“She told the stories of Chinese culture and those of China,” the official Sina Weibo account of China Central Television noted. The success of Li Ziqi also comes from her “passion for life, for her home and for her culture”. Indeed, Li's simple pleasures amaze people living in the hustle and bustle of big cities. “She leads a life that many dream of, but don't dare to give up their current life in exchange for,” iFeng.com wrote. Her handmade lifestyle is a fantasy for many. “In today's society, many feel stressed,” she told the South China Morning Post. “When they watch my videos at the end of a busy day, I want them to relax and experience something nice, to take away some of their anxiety and stress.”
4.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A.Li Ziqi enjoys 10 million followers on Twitter.
B.Li Ziqi won the Person of the Year awarded by Chinese government.
C.Li makes suitable food to follow the changes of climate.
D.Li's videos can't bring pleasure to people in big cities.
5.What makes Li's videos so successful at home and abroad?
A.Her love for Chinese culture.
B.Her confidence in Chinese culture.
C.The attraction of her videos.
D.Her excellent ability to make handicrafts.
6.What do the underlined words “hustle and bustle” in Paragraph 5 mean?
A.Noisy and stressful.
B.Busy but relaxing.
C.Fantastic and enjoyable.
D.Quiet and comfortable.
7.Which of following statements does Li Ziqi probably agree?
A.Life in the countryside is more challenging than that in big cities.
B.Traditional wisdom is by no means outdated.
C.Peace in mind makes life happier and easier.
D.Learning how to cook seasonally is essential for survival in the countryside.

Walmart will soon use 360 robot cleaners across a few hundred of its stores. Using maps input by human employees, the AI-powered cleaners will travel in the store with no difficulty, sweeping the floor—just as human employees used to do.
Perhaps the most striking thing about these robot workers is how not-striking they are. Sci-fi movies suggest a future full of human-like robots who appear with their horrible qualities. Now the future is coming into view, and it looks like a giant lie. It's easy to imagine walking past an Auto-C on a shopping trip without even noticing its presence.
AI has already started to become a part of our everyday life. In New Jersey this week, dozens of workers were hospitalized after a robot at an Amazon fulfillment centre accidentally broke a can and enveloped workers in eye-and-lung-damaging gas. Days earlier in California, an auto-piloted Tesla drove a drunk, sleeping driver down a highway, which no doubt did some potential risks to the other drivers on the road. Highway patrol officers figured out on the spot how to stop the AI car.
Of course, industrial accidents and drunk drivers existed well before AI. Tools with the power to release the burden of physical labor—horses, steam machines, self-driving cars—also come with the power to injure. And the presence of AI-powered machines just steps away from us is, for now, still a rare thing for most people.
But the nature of robots' coming into our daily life will make it harder to recognize—or object to—the bigger changes they bring later. Walmart insists that the robot cleaners give employees more time for customer service and other tasks. Critics point out that they could just as easily become an excuse to reduce staff and wages.
8.What is the difference between sci-fi movies and the reality?
A.Now the human-like robot is not hard to recognize.
B.Now people don't go to see the sci-fi movies.
C.Now the human-like robots can tell lies.
D.Now it is easy to ignore the robots.
9.Why were some workers in hospital in New Jersey?
A.They damaged the robot first.
B.The robot caused an accident on purpose.
C.The robot made a mistake by chance.
D.The robot driving them on the highway had an accident.
10.What is the attitude of the author to AI?
A.Supportive. B.Objective.
C.Doubtful. D.Indifferent.
11.What is the main idea of the passage?
A.Artificial intelligence is bringing great effect to our daily life.
B.Walmart will soon use 360 robot cleaners across all its stores.
C.We should say no to artificial intelligence.
D.Artificial intelligence is dangerous to our life.

Thanks to the progress of artificial intelligence(AI), robots have won against human players in a number of games, such as chess, Go and even mahjong. And now, AI-powered robots are showing their talent in professional curling(冰壶).
Recently, a robot team named Curly has drawn much attention as it successfully beat two South Korean national curling teams. Researchers from Korea University in South Korea, and Technical University of Berlin in Germany developed the robot.
Curling is a challenging sport that requires a mix of precision(精确度) and strategy. In the game, a player called the “thrower” gently slides the stone and releases it before a boundary(界线) called the “hog line”. The stone slides down to the target, known as the “house”. An opposing team does the same, so both teams accumulate stones in the same house. At the end of the round, the team with a stone closest to the center of the target gets a point.
This requires the players to figure out the force and angle needed to slide a heavy stone in order to land it in the house or make it into another position. Players also have to form a strategy to prevent the opponent from getting their stones closest to the center of the house. And apparently, Curly has made progress in mastering these skills.
Curly is a team of two robots: One is responsible for observing the position of the stones at the scoring end, while the other does the throwing. But how was this robot programmed to achieve this?
Researchers built a simulation(模拟) of a curling game for the robots to play around. In the simulation, the researchers approximated the physics of the real world as best as they could, considering various conditions, such as the ice surface and the positions of stones. Then, there is curling strategy. The robots were trained in different situations to deal with various throws. The researchers found that Curly adapted to many variables(变量) of the game the same way a person would.
This shows that a robot can observe the real world and act accordingly in a precise and strategic manner, which is a sign of a promising future for the ever-expanding use of AI.
12.What do we know about the team of robots named Curly?
A.It can play different kinds of sports.
B.It defeated human players in sports games.
C.It is more advanced in sports than other robots.
D.It was developed by researchers from South Korea.
13.What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A.The way to play curling.
B.The use of AI in sports competitions.
C.The ways Curly can be improved.
D.The reasons why Curly was invented.
14.What did researchers find out about Curly when it was being trained?
A.It could consider different conditions.
B.It could develop new game strategies.
C.It could build a simulation of a game.
D.It could copy what human players did.
15.What attitude does the author have toward AI technologies?
A.Worried. B.Unconcerned.
C.Annoyed. D.Hopeful.

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Last Sunday I was thinking about the difference between successful people and those who don't achieve anything significant. I made an interesting discovery. This difference may at first look obvious, but the fact is quite the opposite. 16 Everyone has a purpose behind their actions. If they don't, they wouldn't take action.
17 When they take action, at the back of their minds they think about success that this action is going to bring them.
18 What's the purpose behind your actions? Do you work to thrive (蓬勃发展) or to survive? Do you go to work to feed your family or to create an amazing lifestyle?
Different purposes will result in completely different life experiences. People who work to survive are the ones who fear that some unexpected bills will arrive. They go to bed worrying about money and unimportant things. They hate their employment but don't quit because they doubt their own ability to create something greater. I know this kind of feeling because I was like that once. That's a very uncomfortable state to be in because you are constantly worried about insignificant things. 19 Therefore, you cannot achieve anything great.
Now there are some people who don't accept the “Life is hard” story and they are fueled by an entirely different purpose. They work to thrive. 20 They have a beautiful vision and they take constant action to make that vision a reality.
A.So let me ask you a few questions.
B.This state does not allow you to be creative.
C.It lies in what motivates people to take action.
D.Such an attitude invites great opportunities to you.
E.And they don't think about why something cannot be done.
F.And this makes you take even more or better quality action.
G.But successful people have a completely different purpose behind their actions.

“Please don't wake up,” I plead silently with my 10-month-old son as I log into another Zoom meeting from my tiny New York City apartment. I use a virtual 21 —a picture of my university office—to 22 the fact that I'm in my kitchen, where it's easier to avoid the loud calls for “Mama!” from my 3-year-old daughter and the hunger 23 of my infant son. Such meetings—a byproduct of the COVID-19 pandemic— 24 the stress I feel as a working mom, trying to hide the messy reality of my life as a parent. It has led to a unique type of Zoom burnout, one I fear is 25 to working mothers.
I've always tried to hide my motherhood 26 from plain view. I don't have photos of my children on display in my university office, 27 some of my male colleagues clearly feel comfortable doing so. I haven't wanted my colleagues to 28 me as less committed to my work because I have children. 29 now, working from home, I feel unable to control whether my children are 30 .
My workdays are 31 with meetings to discuss research projects. When the pandemic started and the meetings 32 to Zoom, I felt an unspoken 33 to turn my camera on. Almost everyone else had their camera on, and I feared that if I kept mine off, I wouldn't be viewed as “present”. The 34 I experience during Zoom meetings compounds other stressors in my life. However, reduced anxiety and a chance to take care of household duties while still contributing to the meeting—are 35 it to me.

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。
There was a rich couple who was throwing a big New Year party at their house. So they went shopping at the market where everything was of high cost and at a fixed price. They wanted to maintain their level of standard so they didn't mind paying for it. After purchasing all they needed, they called a porter to carry everything and drop it at their home. The porter who came was of an old age, and looked very unhealthy, and his clothes were torn, and he looked as if he wasn't even able to meet his daily needs.
They asked the porter about the charges for delivering their goods to their home. The old porter quoted just $20, well below the market price. Yet, the couple argued and bargained with the porter and finally settled for $15. The porter was struggling to make even one time's meal so he needed anything he could earn.
The couple was very happy thinking how well they bargained with the poor porter and paid him $15 in advance and left after giving the porter their address for delivery. They reached their home and one hour passed, and two hours passed, but the porter still didn't deliver their stuff.
The wife started to get angry at her husband, “I always tell you not to trust such person, but you never listen to me. I am sure instead of delivering the goods to our home, he must have disappeared with everything. We must immediately go back to the market to inquire and then to the police station to file the complaint against him.”
They both left towards the market. On their way near the market, they saw another porter. They stopped him to inquire about the old porter and noticed that he was carrying their goods in his cart! The angry wife asked him, “Where is that old thief? These are our goods and he was supposed to deliver them. It seems you poor thieves are stealing our goods and going to sell them.”
注意:续写词数应为 150 左右。
Paragraph 1:
When the porter heard the angry wife asking,he turned back.
Paragraph 2:
Upon hearing this, the husband had tears in his eyes.

8.D 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Sci-fi movies suggest a future...even noticing its presence.”可知,在现实中,人们经常忽略机器人的存在。而在科幻电影中,机器人是一种可怕的存在。D项(现在很容易忽略机器人)切合题意。故选D。根据第二段可知,现在机器人是很难被注意到的,故A项“现在,类人机器人不难识别”错误。B项“现在人们不去看科幻电影”文中未提及。根据第二段中的“Now the future is coming into view, and it looks like a giant lie.”可知,这里的谎言,指的是科幻电影中的机器人与现实中的机器人完全不一样,并不是类人机器人说谎。故C项“现在类人机器人可能说谎”不正确。

◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了以人工智能为动力的机器人,在专业冰壶比赛中展示了它们的才华,击败了专业的人类团队。
12.B 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Recently, a robot team named Curly has drawn much attention as it successfully beat two South Korean national curling teams.”可知,名为Curly的机器人团队在比赛中打败了人类的队伍。故选B。文章涉及的都是Curly在冰壶方面的才能,所以,A项(它可以做各种各样的运动)说法不正确。根据第二段可知,Curly在冰壶运动中打败了韩国国家队,所以,只能看出它在冰壶运动这方面比人类队伍更高级。所以,C项(在运动中,它比其他的机器人更高级)说法不正确。根据第二段最后一句可知,韩国高丽大学和德国柏林工业大学的研究人员共同开发了这款机器人,故D项(它是由韩国研究人员研发的)说法不正确。
13.A 主旨大意题。根据第三段中的“In the game, a player called...gets a point.”可知,本段是在讲冰壶的玩法。故选A。B(人工智能在运动比赛中的应用)、C(可以改进Curly的方法)及D(Curly被发明的原因)均不是第三段的主旨。
14.A 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段最后一句“The researchers found that Curly adapted to many variables(变量) of the game the same way a person would.”及最后一段“This shows that a robot can observe the real world and act accordingly in a precise and strategic manner, which is a sign of a promising future for the ever-expanding use of AI.”可知,研究人员发现Curly能够根据不同的情况做出适应的策略。故选A。B(它可以发展新的游戏策略)和C (它可以建立一个模拟竞赛)在文中未提及;根据倒数第二段最后一句可知,Curly能够像人一样适应游戏中的许多变量,但不是复制人类的做法。故D项(它可以复制玩家所做的事)错误。
15.D 推理判断题。根据最后一段可知,这表明机器人能够观察真实世界,并相应地以精确而有策略的方式行动,这是人工智能不断扩大应用的光明前景的一个信号。故可推知,作者认为人工智能的应用是乐观的(hopeful)。故选D。worried 担忧的;unconcerned不关心的;annoyed恼怒的。

句意 这表明机器人能够观察真实世界,并且相应地以精确而有策略的方式行动,这是人工智能不断扩大应用的光明未来的一个信号。

16.C 由上一句“This difference may at first look obvious, but the fact is quite the opposite.”和下一句“Everyone has a purpose behind their actions.”可知,成功人士和那些没有取得任何重大成就的人之间是有区别的,因为每个人的行为背后都有目的,目的不同,人们采取的行动就会不同,设空处承接上下文,C选项“它在于是什么激励人们采取行动。”切题。故选C项。
17.G 本文主要讲成功人士的成功在于他们的行动背后都有一个完全不同的目标。由上段中“Everyone has a purpose behind their actions. If they don't, they wouldn't take action.”和下一句“When they take action, at the back of their minds they think about success that this action is going to bring them.”可知,每个人的行为背后都有目的,但成功人士有着完全不同的目的,他们会想这个行动给他们带来怎样的成功,设空处承接上下文,G选项“但成功人士的行为背后有着完全不同的目的。”切题。故选G项。
18.A 设空处后面三句作者向读者提出了三个问题(你行动的目的是什么?你工作是为了茁壮成长还是为了生存?你上班是为了养家糊口还是为了创造一种令人惊叹的生活方式?),设空处承接下文,A选项“所以让我问你几个问题。”切题。故选A项。
19.B 由上一句“That's a very uncomfortable state to be in because you are constantly worried about insignificant things.(那是一种非常不舒服的状态,因为你总是担心一些无关紧要的事情。)”可知,B选项中的This state对应上文中的a very uncomfortable state,B选项“这种状态不允许你有创造性。”切题。故选B项。

21.B 考查名词词义辨析。句意:我使用了一个虚拟的背景——一张我大学办公室的照片——来掩盖我在厨房里的事实,在厨房里更容易避开来自我三岁的女儿大声叫“妈妈!”和我幼小的儿子饥饿的哭声。place 地方;background 背景;apartment 公寓;experience 经验,经历。根据后文“a picture of my university office—to 22 the fact that I'm in my kitchen”可知,作者其实是在厨房,但她用了一个大学办公室照片的背景图。故选B项。
22.D 考查动词词义辨析。句意同上一题。prove 证明;display 显示;clarify 阐明,澄清;hide 藏,遮掩。根据后文“I'm in my kitchen”可知,作者其实是在厨房,但是她用了一个虚拟的办公室背景,可以猜到这样做的目的其实是掩盖作者在厨房的事实。故选D项。
23.A 考查名词词义辨析。句意同21题。cry叫喊;application 应用;choke 哽噎;circumstance 条件,环境。根据“the hunger”和“infant son”可知,她的小儿子还是个婴儿,因此当她儿子饿的时候肯定会哭。故选A项。

27.D 考查固定短语辨析。句意:我没有在大学办公室里展示孩子们的照片,尽管我的一些男同事显然觉得这样做很自在。as though 好像,仿佛;so that 以便;so long as 只要;even though 虽然,即使。根据后文“clearly feel comfortable doing so”可知,作者的同事很显然不觉得不舒服,但是作者并没有这么做。故选D项。

30.D 考查形容词词义辨析。句意同上一题。fortunate 幸运的;aggressive 侵略的,好斗的;sceptical 怀疑的;visible 明显的,看得见的。根据前文可知,作者在办公室没有展示孩子们的照片,此处与前文形成转折,表示在家办公后,作者无法控制孩子是否会被看到。故选D项。
31.C 考查动词词义辨析。句意:我的工作日充满了讨论研究项目的会议。qualify 使具备资格;counter 反驳;fill 充满;split 分离。be filled with...为固定短语,意为“充满......”,此处表示作者工作繁忙。故选C项。
32.A 考查动词词义辨析。句意:当疫情开始,会议切换到云视频会议时,我在要打开摄像机时感到一种说不出口的压力。switch 转变,改变;convey传达;brake刹(车);remove 去掉。根据前文“When the pandemic started ”可知,疫情期间在家办公,此处与前文“log into ”相呼应,表示切换到云视频会议。故选A项。
33.B 考查名词词义辨析。句意同上一题。benefit 利益,好处;pressure 压力;withdrawal 撤回;crash 碰撞。根据前文可知,作者不想要同事们看到自己作为职业母亲的混乱局面,也不想让他们觉得自己因为有孩子而不够专心工作,因此在家的云视频会议打开摄像机会很有压力,此处与前文“stress”相呼应。故选B项。
34.D 考查名词词义辨析。句意:我在云视频会议期间经历的焦虑会加重我生活中的其他压力。section 部分;competence 胜任;evaluation 评价;anxiety 焦虑,渴望。根据后文“reduced anxiety”可知,此处与“anxiety”相呼应,表示作者的焦虑心情。故选D项。

原句 I use a virtual background—a picture of my university office—to hide the fact that I'm in my kitchen, where it's easier to avoid the loud calls for “Mama!” from my 3-year-old daughter and the hunger cries of my infant son.
分析 本句为主从复合句。句子主干为I use a virtual background.;to hide the fact that I'm in my kitchen为目的状语,that I'm in my kitchen为同位语从句;where 引导非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词kitchen。
句意 我使用虚拟背景——一张我大学办公室的照片——来掩盖我在厨房的事实,在厨房里更容易避开我三岁的女儿大声喊“妈妈!”和刚出生的儿子饥饿的哭喊声。

◎语篇解读 本文是一篇新闻报道。文章介绍了喜剧演员贾玲拍摄的电影《你好,李焕英》在春节期间播出后受到观众的热烈欢迎,票房大涨。贾玲因此成为中国电影史上票房最高的女导演,并有望成为中国最欢迎的导演之一。
36.extremely 考查副词。句意:有着一双笑眼,反应机敏,还有良好的幽默感,贾玲长期以来一直是一位著名的女喜剧演员,她的滑稽表演非常有趣。分析句子结构可知,此处要用副词修饰形容词funny。故填extremely。
37.where 考查定语从句。句意:贾玲主演并执导了电影《你好,李焕英》,该电影讲述了一个穿越时光的故事。分析句子可知,此处是一个定语从句,先行词是the film,关系词在从句中作地点状语,可知此处要用关系副词where。
38.considered 考查非谓语动词。句意:这部电影被认为是春节七天假期期间上映的众多电影中的黑马,它是为了纪念贾玲已故的母亲李焕英,是她鼓励贾玲追求艺术梦想。根据谓语动词is可知此处要用非谓语动词,由consider与The film之间是被动关系,可知此处要用过去分词作后置定语。故填considered。
39.of 考查介词。短语in memory of“纪念”是固定搭配。故填of。

When the porter heard the angry wife asking, he turned back.The porter quietly replied, “Madam, please calm down. I'm not a thief. That poor old man has been sick since last month. He couldn't earn enough to even have a single meal of the day. Therefore, he fell down and handed me $15, saying, ‘I have taken the money in advance for this delivery, and you deliver the goods to the couple's home.' Madam, he is poor, but he is very honest. I was just on the way to completing the old man's last delivery to your home.”
Paragraph 2:
Upon hearing this, the husband had tears in his eyes. And the wife felt so ashamed that she had no courage to look her husband in the eye. Suddenly she rushed to the market. Half an hour later, the wife came back with some food in her hand. She passed the food on to the porter, and apologized to the porter, saying that she shouldn't suspect them, and take them as thieves. At last, the porter took the goods to their house, and the rich couple changed their attitude to the porter.
