The mysterius science f reading gestures is explained using practical explanatins and clear images. Gestures are prducts f bth genetic (遗传的) and envirnmental influences. Understanding ur gestures is nt as difficult as sme peple wuld have yu believe. All human beings use them and s actually have a “built-in” ability t recgnise and read it.
Fingers crssed
Generally this means “wishing fr gd luck r frtune”.
Anther explanatin culd be seen as “here’s hping”. The gesture prbably has Christian rigins where the gesture was believed t get away frm evil. As such, peple believe that crssing the fingers when telling a lie smehw gets away frm the evil f the lie. Sme histrians believe that crssing yur fingers is a hidden r secret way f making the Christian sign f the crss a perfect way f defeating evils. As a gesture it has bth gd and bad meanings. Luck r lies.
Waving the first finger
Mthers and teachers are cmmn users with this hand gesture. In general, it is used t warn a single persn. It is a change f the “yu” gesture. If translated int language it wuld say “Stp whatever yu are ding and pay attentin t me. I am yur superir and I am warning yu!” Classed as a “silent” parent t child gesture, it is nt cmpletely allwed in an frmal ccasin where it will be explained as rude. Sme psychlgists believe that it has a meaning f the whip.
1. What can we infer frm the first paragraph?
A. Reading gestures is secret.B. Gestures are frmed in daily life.

Wrk starts early n White Gate Farm in East Lyme, Cnnecticut. By 7 a. m., farm manager Dan Wd was at the East Lyme Pst Office drpping ff a bx f fresh prduce that later in the day wuld be delivered by mail t Chelsea Gubbins, wh lives acrss twn.
White Gate Farm is a member f Farmers Pst, a pilt prgramme that enables smallhlder farms acrss eastern Cnnecticut t ship fresh prduce and ther farm prducts t lcal husehlds thrugh the United States Pstal Service (USPS). Farmers Pst takes advantage f a USPS prgramme called Cnnect Lcal that allws small businesses t ffer same-day and next-day delivery at a fixed lw cst.
Fd remains in the fields because either market prices are t lw r the cst f the wrkfrce is t high, r because the size and shape f the prduce make it unattractive t stres. Each year, arund 10 millin tns f crps never get harvested, causing abut 16% f ttal US fd lss and waste.
“Fd that is wasted has a much larger influence than just the lss f the fd itself,” says Julia Kurnik, senir directr f Innvatin Start-ups at WWF. “Everything that went int grwing it ges ut the windw as well—the water, the land, and the energy. And as the fd breaks dwn, it prduces greenhuse gases. The bad effects amplify greatly.”
Besides reducing fd waste, selling farm prducts directly t lcal custmers cuts dwn n the crss-cuntry shipping f fd grwn in Califrnia r elsewhere. This reduces the s-called fd miles that researchers believe cause abut 6% f the wrld’s greenhuse gases. Fruits and vegetables, which are ften transprted ut f seasn and require refrigeratin, prduce lts f greenhuse gases between farms and peple’s plates.
Wd understands that Farmers Pst can help t end that waste. “Farming is kind f like cking fr a big grup.” he says. “This is helping us get right n the mney, using almst 100% f what we grw and harvest.”
8. Why was Farmers Pst started?
A. T prvide prfessinal mdern farming methds.
B. T create mre delivery jbs fr lcal peple
C. T pick up and carry custmers t different farms.
D. T make the delivery f prduce easier and cheaper.
9. What may cause sme US crps t remain unharvested accrding t the text?
A. The limited need fr farm prducts.B. The shrtage f wrkers and harvesting tl.
C. Their lw value and pr quality.D. Bad weather and rad cnditins.
10. What des the underlined wrd “amplify” mean in Paragraph 4?
A. Increase.B. Slw.C. Switch.D. Weaken.
11. Which f the fllwing is the best title fr the text?
A. The Fd Safety Mvement Has Met Sme Challenges
B. A Farm-t-Table Prgramme Helps Reduce Fd Waste
C. Farmers Pst Explres Ways t Make High-Quality Prducts
D. Small Farms Play a Leading Rle in Serving Cmmunities
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. A 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。该文章介绍了美国康涅狄格州的一个小型农场 White Gate Farm 通过邮政局的 Cnnect Lcal 项目将农产品送到当地居民的故事。这个项目不仅帮助农场直接销售农产品减少了食品浪费，还减少了其他地方运输水果和蔬菜带来的温室气体排放。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“White Gate Farm is a member f Farmers Pst, a pilt prgramme that enables smallhlder farms acrss eastern Cnnecticut t ship fresh prduce and ther farm prducts t lcal husehlds thrugh the United States Pstal Service (USPS). Farmers Pst takes advantage f a USPS prgramme called Cnnect Lcal that allws small businesses t ffer same-day and next-day delivery at a fixed lw cst.(White Gate农场是农民邮政的成员，农民邮政是一个试点项目，使康涅狄格州东部的小农场能够通过美国邮政服务将新鲜农产品和其他农产品运送到当地家庭。Farmers Pst利用了USPS 的一个名为Cnnect Lcal 的项目，该项目允许小企业以固定的低成本提供当日和次日送达服务)”可知，该项目使康涅狄格州东部的小农场能够通过美国邮政服务将新鲜农产品和其他农产品运送到当地家庭，允许小企业以固定的低成本提供当日和次日送达服务，由此可知，该项目使农产品的运输更容易，更便宜。故选D项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Fd remains in the fields because either market prices are t lw r the cst f the wrkfrce is t high, r because the size and shape f the prduce make it unattractive t stres.(粮食留在地里，要么是因为市场价格太低，要么是因为劳动力成本太高，要么是因为农产品的大小和形状对商店没有吸引力。)”可知，因为农产品的市场价格低，大小和形状对商店没有吸引力作物被留在地里未能收获；由此可知，是农产品的价格低、质量差导致美国的很多作物依旧没有收获，留在地里。故选C项。
【10题详解】
词义猜测题。根据画线词前面的内容“Everything that went int grwing it ges ut the windw as well-the water, the land, and the energy. And as the fd breaks dwn, it prduces greenhuse gases.(种植农产品所需使用的水、土地和能源等全部都白费了，因为随着食物的分解，它们还会产生温室气体。)”可知，浪费食物就意味着种植食物时消耗的水，土地和能源是被浪费的，同时分解食物又产生了温室气体，因此糟糕的影响是在不断增加的，所以画线词与“增加”意义相近。故选A项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段中的“White Gate Farm is a member f Farmers Pst, a pilt prgramme that enables smallhlder farms acrss eastern Cnnecticut t ship fresh prduce and ther farm prducts t lcal husehlds thrugh the United States Pstal Service (USPS).( White Gate农场是农民邮政的成员，农民邮政是一个试点项目，使康涅狄格州东部的小农场能够通过美国邮政服务将新鲜农产品和其他农产品运送到当地家庭。)”以及倒数第二段“Besides reducing fd waste, selling farm prducts directly t lcal custmers cuts dwn n the crss-cuntry shipping f fd grwn in Califrnia r elsewhere.(除了减少食物浪费，直接向当地消费者销售农产品还减少了加州或其他地方种植的食物的跨国运输)”以及通读全文可知，该文章介绍了美国康涅狄格州的一个小型农场White Gate Farm通过农民邮政项目利用邮政局的Cnnect Lcal项目将农产品送到当地居民的故事，这个项目不仅帮助农场直接销售农产品减少了食品浪费，还减少了其他地方运输水果和蔬菜带来的温室气体排放，所以B项“一个从农场到餐桌的项目有助于减少食物浪费”概括了文章内容，符合标题。故选B项。

On September 9, 2024, Apple released its latest iPhne 16 series at an event called “It’s Glwtime”. At the event, Tim Ck, the cmpany’s CEO, played up the prmise f the phnes’ AI features in a pre-recrded vide.
Indeed, the demnstratin seemed impressive. When Ck pinted the camera at a restaurant, the AI assistant Siri culd tell him what was n the menu. It als culd answer his questins fairly well and learn abut the users frm their interactins with their devices. Fr instance, Siri culd knw if a user’s mther was calling and acted apprpriately.
Apple is ne f many firms that want t take AI beynd huge data centres, knwn as the clud, and run it n smaller devices, knwn as the edge. Samsung, Apple’s majr cmpetitr, launched its Galaxy S24 with sme AI features earlier this year. S did Micrsft, which has launched Windws PCs designed fr AI. But their effrts have shwn that it is nt easy t shift clud-based AI mdels t the edge devices.
At present, clud-based AI mdels are mstly trained n graphics prcessing units (GPUs) that cnsume s much energy that it can take a nuclear-pwer plant t fuel them. They als need huge amunts f memry and data. All these can cst hundreds f millins f dllars. Even nce they are trained, running these AI mdels is cstly. Accrding t ne estimate, it csts OpenAI, the maker f ChatGPT, 36 cents every time smene asks its AI mdel a questin.
Cmpanies are experimenting with varius slutins t these prblems. Apple will ffer n-device AI t deal with the easiest tasks, but send trickier prblems t the firm’s private clud. The service will direct the mst difficult requests t third-party mdels such as ChatGPT. But even such smaller n-device AI mdels require a lt f cmputing pwer t run, which puts huge stress n the edge devices’ batteries.
“Making the technlgy wrk culd nt nly start a supercycle in device sales, but als create new pprtunities fr apps and digital advertising,” says Neil Shah f Cunterpint, a research firm. “But fr the mment, edge devices are barely ready fr basic functins, let alne Glwtime.”
12. What is the secnd paragraph mainly abut?
A. The Glwtime event.B. iPhne 16’s AI features.
C. Tim Ck’s perfrmance.D. The future f AI phnes.
13. Why are Samsung and Micrsft mentined in the text?
A. T tell readers hw bad cmpetitin can be.
B. T warn Apple f the ptential cnsequences.
C. T cmpare their newly released edge devices.
D. T shw hw hard it is t apply AI t edge devices.
14. What is the prblem with clud-based AI mdels?
A. OpenAI charges t much mney.
B. All f them have t be trained n GPUs.
C. It is t expensive t train and run them.
D. They can nly deal with the easiest tasks.
15. What des Neil Shah mst prbably imply?
A. iPhne 16 is bund t disappint its users.
B. AI phnes’ success will depend n new apps.
C. Sales f AI phnes will increase greatly sn.
D. Tim Ck was nt hnest with the AI features.
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要分析了iPhne 16存在的技术问题。
【12题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“When Ck pinted the camera at a restaurant, the AI assistant Siri culd tell him what was n the menu. It als culd answer his questins fairly well and learn abut the users frm their interactins with their devices. Fr instance, Siri culd knw if a user’s mther was calling and acted apprpriately.(当库克将摄像头对准一家餐厅时，人工智能助手Siri可以告诉他菜单上有什么。它还可以很好地回答他的问题，并从用户与设备的互动中了解用户。例如，Siri可以知道用户的母亲是否在打电话，并做出适当的反应)”可知，本段主要介绍了iPhne已经具备的AI功能。故选B。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Samsung, Apple’s majr cmpetitr, launched its Galaxy S24 with sme AI features earlier this year. S did Micrsft, which has launched Windws PCs designed fr AI. But their effrts have shwn that it is nt easy t shift clud-based AI mdels t the edge devices.(今年早些时候，苹果的主要竞争对手三星推出了带有一些人工智能功能的Galaxy S24。微软（Micrsft）也是如此，它推出了专为人工智能设计的Windws PCs。但它们的努力表明，将基于云的人工智能模型转移到边缘设备并不容易)”可知，文章提及三星和微软是为了展示将人工智能应用于边缘设备有多么困难。故选D。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“All these can cst hundreds f millins f dllars. Even nce they are trained, running these AI mdels is cstly.(所有这些都可能耗资数亿美元。即使训练有素，运行这些人工智能模型也是昂贵的)”可知，培训和运行基于云的人工智能模型价格昂贵，这是一个问题。故选C。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“But fr the mment, edge devices are barely ready fr basic functins, let alne Glwtime.(但就目前而言，边缘设备的基本功能还不完善，更不用说Glwtime了)”及第一段“On September 9, 2024, Apple released its latest iPhne 16 series at an event called “It’s Glwtime”. At the event, Tim Ck, the cmpany’s CEO, played up the prmise f the phnes’ AI features in a pre- recrded vide.(2024年9月9日，苹果在名为“It 's Glwtime”的活动上发布了最新的iPhne 16系列。在发布会上，苹果首席执行官蒂姆•库克（Tim Ck）在一段预先录制的视频中强调了这款手机的人工智能功能)”可知，Neil Shah认为苹果16的人工智能技术还不完善，所以苹果16用户会失望。故选A。

(如果你不得不偶尔打断你的目光，不要害怕，但在你说话的时候，试着让你的脸和眼睛向前和向上。)”可知，本空要谈论“保持眼神专注的困难”有关的话题，故G选项“But it’s mre difficult t keep eye cntact while yu’re als trying t say smething (但是当你也想说些什么的时候，保持眼神交流就更难了)”能承上启下，符合语境，该选项中的“keep eye cntact”与上文“keep yur eyes fcused”相呼应，且“mre difficult”与上文形成转折关系，突出了说话的同时保持眼神交流更难。故选G。

【解析】

42. Snw suspected that the water pump ________(blame). (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】was t blame
【解析】
【详解】考查动词短语和时态。句意：Snw怀疑水泵是罪魁祸首。动词短语be t blame表示“应负责任”，结合上文suspected的时态，应用一般过去时，the water pump为单数，be动词使用was。故填was t blame。
