Sumiel was no stranger to the struggles of kidney disease. He was on the transplant list, but no matches had yet appeared. So he continued with his treatments. Sumiel usually took an Uber to and from his appointment in hospital. Timothy Letts, 31, was driving north to visit a friend when his phone pinged with the request for Sumiel’s ride home. When Sumiel got into the car, the pair introduced each other and got to chatting. Then Sumiel revealed that he was searching for a kidney donor. Letts joked that he’d be a good donor candidate, given that he didn’t drink or smoke. Sumiel agreed, though he didn’t think much of it as they kept driving. Letts, however, couldn’t stop thinking about it. Letts believes in helping others, so donating a kidney “was something that was always on my mind,” he says. So, about a quarter-mile away from Sumiel’s house, Letts said,“I’d like to see if I could be a match to give you a kidney.” “I was shocked,” Sumiel recalls. Once inside his home, he excitedly told his wife, “The Uber driver just offered me his kidney!” After the initial excitement, Sumiel started feeling a bit less optimistic. He was touched by Letts’s offer, though he wondered if it had just been an emotional moment. Would he hear from him? And what was the likelihood they’d be a match? But Letts was true to his word. He got in touch with Sumiel just a few hours later, and by the next week, Letts had contacted the kidney transplant program. After a long screening process, the results were in: Letts was an ideal donor, and he and Sumiel were a perfect match. On 7 December 2021, 14 months after they ended up in the same car by accident, Sumiel and Letts had their surgeries. It was a success. Today Sumiel is doing well, working full-time remotely and enjoying time with his family.24.What can we learn about Bill Sumiel?( )A.He had only one kidney. B.He liked smoking and drinking.C.He met Timothy Letts by chance. D.He had taken Timothy Letts’s car before.25.What made Timothy Letts decide to make an offer?( )A.His desire to do good. B.His personal experience.C.His respect for Bill Sumiel. D.His sympathy for Bill Sumiel.26.How should we describe Bill Sumiel’s emotion change after he got home?( )A.From excitement to doubt. B.From curiosity to satisfaction.C.From confusion to excitement. D.From surprise to disappointment.27.What would be the best title for the text?( )A.A Miracle Trip Saves a Patient’s Life B.A Perfect Match Can Be Found EasilyC.Sick Passenger Met Brave Uber Driver D.Uber Driver Offers Passenger His KidneyCMaya Ackerman just wanted to write a song.She tried for years — song after song.In the end, she didn’t like any of the tunes she wrote.“I didn’t have the gift,” she says.“All the melodies that came into my mind were so boring that I couldn’t imagine wasting time performing them.”Maybe, she thought, a computer could puter programs already are useful for recording songs that people come up with.Ackerman now wondered if a computer could be more — a songwriting partner.It was a flash of inspiration.“I knew in an instant that it would be possible for a machine to give me ideas,” she says.That inspiration led to the creation of ALYSIA.This computer program can generate brand-new melodies, based on a user’s lyrics.As a computer scientist at Santa Clara University in California, Ackerman has a lot of experience using algorithms (算法).These are step-by-step mathematical recipes to solve problems and make predictions.Algorithms are useful in programming computers.They can also be useful for everyday tasks.Online movie and music servers use algorithms to recommend films and songs.Self-driving cars need algorithms to safely navigate roads.Some grocery stores track the freshness of produce using algorithms that are connected to cameras or sensors.Ackerman isn’t the only one using AI for songwriting.Some programs build entire orchestral scores around small bits of melody.Others generate music for many instruments.AI is also finding its way into other arts.And those efforts are paying off.In October 2018, an art auction in New York City became the first to sell an AI-generated work.A group of computer scientists and artists in France used AI algorithms to create the work.A portrait of an imaginary man made a splash: The painting sold for $432,500.Ahmed Elgammal runs a computer-science lab that focuses on using AI to influence art.“AI is a creative tool that will be accepted as an art form,” he says.Eventually, he adds,“It will affect the way art is made, and what art will be.”28.What do we learn about Maya Ackerman’s personal effort to write a song?( )A.It was fruitful. B.It was surprising.C.It proved to be a failure. D.It turned out rewarding.29.What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 3 refer to?( )A.Recording a song online. B.Writing a song by herself.C.Designing a computer program. D.Using a computer to write a song.30.What’s the fourth paragraph mainly about?( )A.The wide use of algorithms. B.The problems with algorithms.C.How Ackerman uses algorithms. D.How algorithms solve problems.31.Why does the author mention a portrait in Paragraph 6?( )A.To prove AI will be used in art. B.To prove AI has a bright future.C.To show people’s trying is successful. D.To show people like AI-created work.D The endowment effect. The overinterpretation of small numbers. The anchoring effect. The availability heuristic. Loss aversion ... As you read through this list, you may recognise most or all of them as fundamental aspects of how humans perceive (認(rèn)為) and process their experiences. They are also connected in another way: each was co-discovered by one man, Daniel Kahneman, the author of the recently published Thinking, Fast and Slow. Kahneman has been a prominent leader in the field of cognitive science for about four decades now, an illustrious career that has included a Nobel Prize for his work on economic decision-making. The book, written for a general audience, records this career and the scientific advances it has generated. That said, Kahneman certainly does not intend the book to be primarily a memoir (回憶錄), nor should it be classified as such. Rather, the goal of the book, as the title implies, is to communicate dual-processing theory, the idea that our brain engages in two different forms of thought. He uses his extensive experience — personal histories, study-by-study accounts, and likely a handful of techniques he has developed through the years — to convey this message, the sum product being an enjoyable and edifying read for anyone, scientist or not. At the beginning, Kahneman introduces us to the book’s two main characters: Systems 1 and 2, our two modes of cognition (認(rèn)知). They also make for the title of the book. System 1 is “fast”, comprising the various prejudices that immediately perceive events; System 2 is “slow”, allowing us to observe and direct our attention, and gather evidence for or against one idea or another. Engaging the reader in a lively conversation about how we think, Kahneman offers useful and inspirational insights into how choices are made in both our business and our personal lives―and how we can use different techniques to guard against the mental problems that often get us into trouble. Topping bestseller lists for almost ten years, Thinking, Fast and Slow is an essential book that has changed the lives of millions of readers.32.Why does the author provide a list of terms at the beginning of the text?( )A.To introduce a new book. B.To introduce Daniel Kahneman.C.To explain some interesting theories. D.To analyze some interesting phenomena.33.What does Thinking, Fast and Slow focus on?( )A.An insight into human’s mindset. B.An exploration into human’s behaviour.C.Daniel Kahneman’s personal experience. D.Daniel Kahneman’s scientific experiments.34.What do we learn about System 1 and System 2?( )A.The former is more objective. B.The former is more accurate.C.The latter is more logical. D.The latter is more efficient.35.What does the author think of Thinking, Fast and Slow?( )A.Practical and influential. B.Humorous and interesting.C.Serious and hard to follow. D.Clear and easy to understand.第二節(jié)(共5小題;每小題2.5分,滿分12.5分)閱讀下面短文,從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出可以填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。 Ieoh Ming Pei was one of the best-known architects of the 20th century.Born in China, I.M.

She was a good girl, but she never liked her name as all the kids around her made fun of her name. She ran away from everybody who laughed at her name, so Walk never really had friends. She would play alone all the time.One day, Walk went to her favourite place near the river behind her house, where she always spoke to the river in her own way. Today, when talking to the river, she said,“You are so fortunate, as you get to travel to different places and always be with your friends — ducks, turtles, fishes, and plants. I wish I had more friends and wouldn’t be alone anymore.”When she was bored talking to the river, she picked up some stones and tried to skip (打水漂) them across the river like her dad did. However, she failed most of the time. Finally, she found a perfect stone. She held it tightly in her fingers, and said to the river,“Oh, dear river, if I could skip this stone all the way across, I would wish for a dear friend just like you.” Saying this, Walk waved her arm back just like her dad had taught her and threw the stone with full strength.She watched the stone skip once, twice ... and to her amazement, the stone went on skipping and eventually, on the seventh skip, made it across the river onto the shore of the opposite side. Walk was totally amazed. She could not just believe her eyes.Her deep thoughts and happiness were disturbed when she heard footsteps coming towards her. Walk looked around and found a little girl was rolling down towards her. Walk panicked and hurried to get up to help. However, she lost her balance and fell off, too.The little girl was crying and holding her knee. Walk pulled herself and went close to the girl, whose knee was bleeding. She said gently to the little girl,“It will be alright. My house is nearby, let me help you. My mother will take care of the wound.”注意:1.續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右;2.請(qǐng)按如下格式作答。Once they arrived at her house, Walk called out, “Mom, help!

Sumiel奇跡般地遇到優(yōu)步共享汽車司機(jī)Timothy Letts并得到對(duì)方所捐贈(zèng)的腎的故事。因此D項(xiàng)為文章最佳標(biāo)題。語(yǔ)篇解讀:本文是一篇說(shuō)明文。隨著人工智能技術(shù)的快速發(fā)展,它已經(jīng)被用來(lái)創(chuàng)造藝術(shù)作品。28.C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段可知,Maya Ackerman自己嘗試創(chuàng)作了一些曲子,結(jié)果都很不成功。29.D 代詞指代題。根據(jù)第三段可知,這里的It一詞指代上文提到的Maya Ackerman想借助電腦來(lái)創(chuàng)作曲子。30.A 段落大意題。根據(jù)第四段可知,本段主要介紹了算法在計(jì)算機(jī)領(lǐng)域的廣泛使用:包括日常任務(wù)、電影音樂(lè)、無(wú)人駕駛以及零售商店等。31.C 推理判斷題。根據(jù)第五、六段可知,人工智能技術(shù)已經(jīng)被越來(lái)越多地應(yīng)用于藝術(shù)創(chuàng)作領(lǐng)域,作者在本段提到肖像畫被高價(jià)拍賣一事,正是為了說(shuō)明人們?cè)谶@一領(lǐng)域的嘗試是很成功的。語(yǔ)篇解讀:本文是一篇說(shuō)明文,也是一篇書評(píng)。文章簡(jiǎn)要介紹并評(píng)價(jià)了丹尼爾·卡尼曼的《思考,快與慢》這本全球暢銷書。32.B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段可知,作者先列舉了一系列術(shù)語(yǔ),然后引出了這些術(shù)語(yǔ)(概念)的創(chuàng)造者丹尼爾·卡尼曼。33.A 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三、四段可知,《思考,快與慢》一書不是作者丹尼爾·卡尼曼的個(gè)人回憶錄,它主要聚焦于我們大腦對(duì)外部世界作出反應(yīng)的雙重處理理論,也就是大腦的兩種認(rèn)知模式。34.C 推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段可知,我們的大腦中包含兩種處理系統(tǒng)和認(rèn)知模式。系統(tǒng)1是“快速的”,包含了立即感知事件的各種偏見(jiàn);系統(tǒng)2是“緩慢的”,允許我們觀察和引導(dǎo)我們的注意力,并收集支持或反對(duì)某一想法的證據(jù)。顯然,系統(tǒng)2更加理性和合乎邏輯。35.A 推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段可知,本文作者認(rèn)為《思考,快與慢》一書為我們?cè)诠ぷ骱蛡€(gè)人生活中如何作出選擇和決策提供了有用且具有啟發(fā)性的見(jiàn)解,同時(shí),這本書已經(jīng)改變了數(shù)百萬(wàn)人的生活。36.E 37.F 38.G 39.B 40.A第三部分語(yǔ)篇解讀:本文是一篇記敘文。作者退休后在打掃倉(cāng)庫(kù)時(shí)發(fā)現(xiàn)一包存放了80年的種子,沒(méi)想到最后它們居然發(fā)芽了。41.D 根據(jù)上文When I retired和下文as director of a radio station可知,作者在電視臺(tái)作為臺(tái)長(zhǎng)工作了30年。42.B 根據(jù)最后一段中for its purpose和Just like your grandpa!可知,剛退休時(shí),作者擔(dān)心在生活中沒(méi)有目標(biāo),也做不好打掃倉(cāng)庫(kù)等這樣的事情。a sense of purpose意為“使命感,意義”。43.B 根據(jù)上文I pushed at the garage’s wooden doors、but以及下文I finally got the doors open可知,這個(gè)門卡住了,就像我退休后的生活一樣。44.C 根據(jù)下文It was a common old metal can.可知,我的手觸碰到的是一個(gè)金屬罐;它是堅(jiān)硬的。45.A 根據(jù)空后的the cover and found可知,是打開(kāi)蓋子后才發(fā)現(xiàn)里面的東西。46.C 根據(jù)下文with a postmark of 13 May 1940 inside可知,由于年代久遠(yuǎn),信封早已泛黃。47.A 根據(jù)上文with a postmark of 13 May 1940 inside可知,作者對(duì)這個(gè)郵戳日期很早的信封很感興趣,所以好奇地將它打開(kāi)。48.B 根據(jù)下文the seeds in a plastic pot可知,作者把種子種在塑料盆里。49.A 根據(jù)上文Eighty years old! I wonder if they’ll still grow.及I checked it every day, but nothing happened.可知,作者認(rèn)為種子沒(méi)發(fā)芽,是因?yàn)樗鼈兇娣艜r(shí)間太久了。50.C 根據(jù)上文I checked it every day, but nothing happened.可知,作者期待的種子沒(méi)有發(fā)芽,因此他很遺憾地告訴佩格。51.C 根據(jù)上文I picked up the pot to get rid of it、 but以及下文I changed my mind and set it aside.可知,作者想把它扔掉時(shí)又猶豫了。52.D 根據(jù)下文可知,我一直忙碌著,也忘了種子的事情。53.D 根據(jù)上下文可知,這段時(shí)期我一直忙著別的事情,忘記了種子的事情,六周后我去院子里 意外發(fā)現(xiàn)了種子發(fā)芽。happen to表示“碰巧”。54.A 根據(jù)上下文可知,新的綠葉出現(xiàn)了。55.B 根據(jù)上文A new bit of green — a leaf和下文for its purpose可知,這些種子為了自己的目標(biāo)而生長(zhǎng)。56.its 57.boiled 58.has welcomed 59.a 60.dramatically 61.decreasing 62.which/that 63.to 64.has 65.attractions第四部分第一節(jié)Dear Peter, Thanks for your interest in Chinese calligraphy and painting. In ancient China, lyre-playing, chess, calligraphy and painting are regarded as the four skills that an excellent scholar must master. Nowadays, calligraphy and painting are still very important in China. Actually, you can see art museums and training institutions which focus on Chinese calligraphy and painting wherever you go. It is widely believed that learning calligraphy and painting can not only improve our intelligence but also cultivate our mind. What’s more, it can develop our ability to appreciate beauty and make our lives more colourful. As the saying goes,“Seeing is believing.” I hope you will come to China and experience the beauty of Chinese calligraphy and painting. Looking forward to seeing you!Yours,Li Hua第二節(jié) Once they arrived at her house, Walk called out, “Mom, help! Someone is injured.” On hearing this, Walk’s mother came quickly with the first-aid box. She made the little girl sit on the sofa and started cleaning the wound. She cleaned her knee, applied medicine to the wound, and wrapped it with bandages, which made the girl relaxed. She then asked the girl where she lived. The girl replied that she had just moved here. All the houses looked so similar that she mixed them up. Walk was surprised and felt a bit of joy thinking about her wish.The little girl looked at Walk and asked,“What is your name?” Walk froze and was scared to tell her name. However, Walk’s mother replied, “Her name is Walk and I am glad she could help you.” On hearing this, the little girl began to laugh. Walk felt sad and was near to tears. Just then, the girl stopped laughing and sincerely apologised, “I am sorry, but it is so funny as my name happens to be Run.” Walk was surprised and almost broke into laughter herself. Her wish for the river had come true, and now she had a very good friend named Run.10 / 10(共103張PPT)單元質(zhì)量檢測(cè)(一) ART(滿分150分,時(shí)間120分鐘)第一部分 聽(tīng)力(共兩節(jié),滿分30分)第一節(jié)(共5小題;每小題1.5分,滿分7.5分)聽(tīng)下面5段對(duì)話。每段對(duì)話后有一個(gè)小題,從題中所給的A、B、C三個(gè)選項(xiàng)中選出最佳選項(xiàng)。聽(tīng)完每段對(duì)話后,你都有10秒鐘的時(shí)間來(lái)回答有關(guān)小題和閱讀下一小題。每段對(duì)話僅讀一遍。1.

Sumiel was no stranger to the struggles of kidney disease. He was onthe transplant list, but no matches had yet appeared. So he continuedwith his treatments. Sumiel usually took an Uber to and from hisappointment in hospital. Timothy Letts, 31, was driving north to visit a friend when hisphone pinged with the request for Sumiel’s ride home. When Sumiel gotinto the car, the pair introduced each other and got to chatting. Then Sumiel revealed that he was searching for a kidney donor. Lettsjoked that he’d be a good donor candidate, given that he didn’t drinkor smoke. Sumiel agreed, though he didn’t think much of it as theykept driving. Letts, however, couldn’t stop thinking about it. Letts believes in helping others, so donating a kidney “wassomething that was always on my mind,” he says. So, about a quarter-mile away from Sumiel’s house, Letts said,“I’d like to see if Icould be a match to give you a kidney.” “I was shocked,” Sumiel recalls. Once inside his home, heexcitedly told his wife, “The Uber driver just offered me his kidney!”After the initial excitement, Sumiel started feeling a bit less optimistic.He was touched by Letts’s offer, though he wondered if it had just beenan emotional moment. Would he hear from him? And what was thelikelihood they’d be a match? But Letts was true to his word. He got in touch with Sumiel just a fewhours later, and by the next week, Letts had contacted the kidneytransplant program. After a long screening process, the results were in:Letts was an ideal donor, and he and Sumiel were a perfect match. On 7 December 2021, 14 months after they ended up in the same carby accident, Sumiel and Letts had their surgeries. It was a success.Today Sumiel is doing well, working full-time remotely and enjoyingtime with his family.語(yǔ)篇解讀:本文是一篇記敘文。71歲的Bill Sumiel患有腎衰竭,一直在尋找合適的可移植腎源。一次打車時(shí),優(yōu)步共享汽車司機(jī)TimothyLetts提出將自己的腎捐給他。語(yǔ)篇解讀:本文是一篇記敘文。71歲的Bill Sumiel患有腎衰竭,一直在尋找合適的可移植腎源。一次打車時(shí),優(yōu)步共享汽車司機(jī)TimothyLetts提出將自己的腎捐給他。24.

This computer program can generate brand-new melodies, based on a user’s lyrics.As a computer scientist at Santa Clara University in California,Ackerman has a lot of experience using algorithms (算法).These arestep-by-step mathematical recipes to solve problems and makepredictions.Algorithms are useful in programming computers.They canalso be useful for everyday tasks.Online movie and music servers usealgorithms to recommend films and songs.Self-driving cars needalgorithms to safely navigate roads.Some grocery stores track the freshnessof produce using algorithms that are connected to cameras or sensors.Ackerman isn’t the only one using AI for songwriting.Someprograms build entire orchestral scores around small bits of melody.Othersgenerate music for many instruments.AI is also finding its way into otherarts.And those efforts are paying off.In October 2018, an art auction inNew York City became the first to sell an AI-generated work.A group ofcomputer scientists and artists in France used AI algorithms to create thework.A portrait of an imaginary man made a splash: The painting soldfor $432,500.Ahmed Elgammal runs a computer-science lab that focuses on usingAI to influence art.“AI is a creative tool that will be accepted as an artform,” he says.Eventually, he adds,“It will affect the way art ismade, and what art will be.”語(yǔ)篇解讀:本文是一篇說(shuō)明文。隨著人工智能技術(shù)的快速發(fā)展,它已經(jīng)被用來(lái)創(chuàng)造藝術(shù)作品。語(yǔ)篇解讀:本文是一篇說(shuō)明文。隨著人工智能技術(shù)的快速發(fā)展,它已經(jīng)被用來(lái)創(chuàng)造藝術(shù)作品。28.

The book, written for a general audience, records this career andthe scientific advances it has generated. That said, Kahneman certainlydoes not intend the book to be primarily a memoir (回憶錄), norshould it be classified as such. Rather, the goal of the book, as the titleimplies, is to communicate dual-processing theory, the idea that ourbrain engages in two different forms of thought. He uses his extensiveexperience — personal histories, study-by-study accounts, and likely ahandful of techniques he has developed through the years — to convey thismessage, the sum product being an enjoyable and edifying read foranyone, scientist or not. At the beginning, Kahneman introduces us to the book’s two maincharacters: Systems 1 and 2, our two modes of cognition (認(rèn)知).They also make for the title of the book. System 1 is “fast”,comprising the various prejudices that immediately perceive events;System 2 is “slow”, allowing us to observe and direct our attention,and gather evidence for or against one idea or another. Engaging the reader in a lively conversation about how we think,Kahneman offers useful and inspirational insights into how choices aremade in both our business and our personal lives―and how we can usedifferent techniques to guard against the mental problems that often get usinto trouble. Topping bestseller lists for almost ten years, Thinking,Fast and Slow is an essential book that has changed the lives of millions ofreaders.語(yǔ)篇解讀:本文是一篇說(shuō)明文,也是一篇書評(píng)。文章簡(jiǎn)要介紹并評(píng)價(jià)了丹尼爾·卡尼曼的《思考,快與慢》這本全球暢銷書。語(yǔ)篇解讀:本文是一篇說(shuō)明文,也是一篇書評(píng)。文章簡(jiǎn)要介紹并評(píng)價(jià)了丹尼爾·卡尼曼的《思考,快與慢》這本全球暢銷書。32.

She was a goodgirl, but she never liked her name as all the kids around her made fun ofher name. She ran away from everybody who laughed at her name, soWalk never really had friends. She would play alone all the time.One day, Walk went to her favourite place near the river behind herhouse, where she always spoke to the river in her own way. Today,when talking to the river, she said,“You are so fortunate, as you getto travel to different places and always be with your friends — ducks,turtles, fishes, and plants. I wish I had more friends and wouldn’t bealone anymore.”When she was bored talking to the river, she picked up some stonesand tried to skip (打水漂) them across the river like her dad did.However, she failed most of the time. Finally, she found a perfectstone. She held it tightly in her fingers, and said to the river,“Oh,dear river, if I could skip this stone all the way across, I would wish fora dear friend just like you.” Saying this, Walk waved her arm back justlike her dad had taught her and threw the stone with full strength.She watched the stone skip once, twice ... and to her amazement,the stone went on skipping and eventually, on the seventh skip, made itacross the river onto the shore of the opposite side. Walk was totallyamazed. She could not just believe her eyes.Her deep thoughts and happiness were disturbed when she heardfootsteps coming towards her. Walk looked around and found a little girlwas rolling down towards her. Walk panicked and hurried to get up tohelp. However, she lost her balance and fell off, too. The little girl was crying and holding her knee. Walk pulledherself and went close to the girl, whose knee was bleeding. She saidgently to the little girl,“It will be alright.

She made the little girl sit on the sofa and startedcleaning the wound. She cleaned her knee, applied medicine to thewound, and wrapped it with bandages, which made the girl relaxed.She then asked the girl where she lived. The girl replied that she had justmoved here. All the houses looked so similar that she mixed them up.Walk was surprised and felt a bit of joy thinking about her wish.The little girl looked at Walk and asked,“What is your name?”Walk froze and was scared to tell her name. However, Walk’s motherreplied, “Her name is Walk and I am glad she could help you.” Onhearing this, the little girl began to laugh. Walk felt sad and was near totears. Just then, the girl stopped laughing and sincerely apologised, “Iam sorry, but it is so funny as my name happens to be Run.” Walk wassurprised and almost broke into laughter herself. Her wish for the river hadcome true, and now she had a very good friend named Run.謝謝觀看! 展開(kāi)更多...... 收起↑ 資源列表 單元質(zhì)量檢測(cè)(一) ART.docx 單元質(zhì)量檢測(cè)(一) ART.pptx 縮略圖、資源來(lái)源于二一教育資源庫(kù)
