B

At the end of 2019,I learned that Here After AI, whose goal is to let the living communicate with the dead, was looking for applicants of its new AI project. Interested in what it was promising, I applied to experiment the software on my very-much-alive parents.

At first, I thought it would be just a fun project to see what was technologically possible. Then their health condition added some urgency to the experiment. I was frightened that my parents might die since my father had been diagnosed with cancer and my mother was recently developing symptoms of early Alzheimer’s disease, and that with the distance between us, I might never have the chance to say goodbye.

The first step was an interview. My parents were asked questions by a techician for hours-about everything from their earliest memories to what they believe will happen after they die. Whether through illness-generated concerns or a willingness to humor their daughter, my parents put up zero resistance. The company then took their responses and started to create the voice assistants. A few months later, my virtual parents arrived via email attachment.

When I communicated with them through the app on my phone, my hands were shaking. I hadn’t seen my actual, real parents for six months. They told me personal stories I’d never heard. They gave me life advice and told me things about their childhoods, as well as my own. It was mesmerizing.

Personally, I have mixed feelings about my experiment. I’m glad to have my virtual parents. They’ve enabled me to learn new things about my parents, and it’s comforting to think that those softwares will be there even when my parents aren’t. On the other hand, I can’t help but find it sad that it took a stranger interviewing my parents for me to properly appreciate the complex people they are. But I feel lucky to have had the chance to grasp that-and to still have the precious opportunity to spend more time with them and learn more about them, face to face, no technology involved.

24. Why did the author initially join the AI project?
25. To test out the new technology.
26. To preserve her parents’ voice.
27. To learn more about her parents’ life.
28. To remove the worry about her parents’ health.
29. What can we learn about the author’s parents?
30. They liked talking a lot.
31. They died from the illnesses.
32. They opposed joining the project at first.
33. They provided data for the project.
34. What does the underlined word “mesmerizing" mean in paragraph 4?
35. Alarming. B. Fascinating. C. Inspiring.       D. Disgusting.
36. What does the author realize at last?
37. AI means never saying goodbye to our parents.
38. The advances in AI technology have pros and cons.
39. The real connection with our parents matters most.
40. AI allows us to learn more about our virtual parents.    

【答案】24. A   25. D   26. B   27. C

But I feel lucky to have had the chance to grasp that-and to still have the precious opportunity to spend more time with them and learn more about them, face to face, no technology involved.”（就我个人而言，我对我实验有一种复杂的感觉。我很高兴有我的虚拟父母。它们让我对我的父母有了新的了解，想到即使我的父母不在，这些机器人也会在那里，这让我感到欣慰。另一方面，我不禁感到难过的是，直到一个陌生人采访了我的父母，我才真正了解到他们是一个复杂的人。但我感到很幸运，有机会抓住这一点，仍然有宝贵的机会花更多的时间和他们在一起，更多地了解他们，面对面，不涉及技术。）可知，作者感到很幸运，有机会能够抓住宝贵的机会花更多的时间和他们在一起，更多地了解他们，即意识到了与父母的真正联系是最重要的。故选C。

C

On September 7, 1991, the costliest hailstorm (雹暴) in Canadian history hit Calgary’s southern suburbs. As a result, since 1996 a group of insurance companies have spent about $2 million per year on the Alberta Hail Suppression Project. Airplanes seed threatening storm cells with a chemical to make small ice crystals fall as rain before they can grow into dangerous hailstones. But farmers in east-central Alberta — downwind of the hail project flights — worry that precious moisture (水分) is being stolen from their thirsty land by the cloud seeding.

Norman Stienwand, who farms in that area, has been addressing public meetings on this issue for years. “Basically, the provincial government is letting the insurance companies protect the Calgary-Edmonton urban area from hail,” Mr. Stienwand says, “but they’re increasing drought risk as far east as Saskatchewan.”

The Alberta hail project is managed by Terry Krauss, a cloud physicist who works for Weather Modification Inc. of Fargo, North Dakota. “We affect only a very small percentage of the total moisture in the air, so we cannot be causing drought.” Dr. Krauss says. “In fact, we may be helping increase the moisture downwind by creating wetter ground.”    

One doubter about the safety of cloud seeding is Chuck Doswell, a research scientist who just retired from the University of Oklahoma. “In 1999, I personally saw significant tornadoes form from a seeded storm cell in Kansas,” Dr. Doswell says. “Does cloud seeding create killer storms or reduce moisture downwind? No one really knows, of course, but the seeding goes on.”

Given the degree of doubt, Mr. Stienwand suggests, “It would be wise to stop cloud seeding.” In practice, doubt has had the opposite effect. Due to the lack of scientific proof concerning their impacts, no one has succeeded in winning a lawsuit against cloud-seeding companies. Hence, private climate engineering can proceed in relative legal safety.

28. What does the project aim to do?
29. Conserve moisture in the soil. B. Forecast disastrous hailstorms.
30. Prevent the formation of hailstones. D. Investigate chemical use in farming.
31. Who are opposed to the project?
32. Managers of insurance companies. B. Farmers in east-central Alberta.
33. Provincial government officials. D. Residents of Calgary and Edmonton.
34. Why does Dr. Doswell mention the tornadoes he saw in 1999?
35. To compare different kinds of seeding methods. B. To illustrate the development of big hailstorms.
36. To show the link between storms and moisture. D. To indicate a possible danger of cloud seeding.
37. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
38. Scientific studies have proved Stienwand right. B. Cloud-seeding companies will continue to exist.
39. The doubt about cloud seeding has disappeared. D. Private climate engineering is illegal in Canada.

【答案】28. C   29. B   30. D   31. B

【解析】

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了1991年9月7日，加拿大历史上损失最大的冰雹袭击了卡尔加里的南郊。因此，自1996年以来，一组保险公司每年在艾伯塔省冰雹抑制项目上花费约200万美元。飞机在有威胁的风暴中心中播撒一种化学物质，使小冰晶在变成危险的冰雹之前像雨一样落下。但是，在艾伯塔省中东部的农民们担心，“冰雹计划”飞行的下风处，宝贵的水分正被人工降雨从他们干渴的土地上偷走。

【28题详解】

细节理解题。根据第一段中“As a result, since 1996 a group of insurance companies have spent about $2 million per year on the Alberta Hail Suppression Project. Airplanes seed threatening storm cells with a chemical to make small ice crystals fall as rain before they can grow into dangerous hailstones.(因此，自1996年以来，一组保险公司每年在艾伯塔省冰雹抑制项目上花费约200万美元。飞机在有威胁的风暴中心中播撒一种化学物质，使小冰晶在变成危险的冰雹之前像雨一样落下)”可知，这个项目的目标是防止冰雹的形成。故选C。

【29题详解】

细节理解题。根据第一段中“But farmers in east-central Alberta — downwind of the hail project flights — worry that precious moisture (水分) is being stolen from their thirsty land by the cloud seeding.(但是，在艾伯塔省中东部的农民们担心，“冰雹计划”飞行的下风处，宝贵的水分正被人工降雨从他们干渴的土地上偷走)”可知，艾伯塔省中东部的农民反对这个项目。故选B。

【30题详解】

推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“One doubter about the safety of cloud seeding is Chuck Doswell, a research scientist who just retired from the University of Oklahoma. “In 1999, I personally saw significant tornadoes form from a seeded storm cell in Kansas,” Dr. Doswell says. “Does cloud seeding create killer storms or reduce moisture downwind? No one really knows, of course, but the seeding goes on.”(查克·多斯韦尔是一位刚刚从俄克拉何马大学退休的研究科学家，他对人工降雨的安全性持怀疑态度。“1999年，我在堪萨斯州亲眼目睹了由种子风暴细胞形成的重大龙卷风，”多斯韦尔博士说。“人工降雨会制造致命风暴还是减少顺风处的水分？当然，没有人真正知道，但是播种还在继续。”)”可推知，多斯韦尔博士提到他在1999年看到的龙卷风是为了提示人工降雨可能带来的危险。故选D。    

【31题详解】

推理判断题。根据最后一段“Given the degree of doubt, Mr. Stienwand suggests, “It would be wise to stop cloud seeding.” In practice, doubt has had the opposite effect. Due to the lack of scientific proof concerning their impacts, no one has succeeded in winning a lawsuit against cloud-seeding companies. Hence, private climate engineering can proceed in relative legal safety.(考虑到质疑的程度，斯廷旺德建议，“停止人工降雨是明智的。”在实践中，怀疑产生了相反的效果。由于缺乏有关其影响的科学证据，没有人成功地赢得了对人工降雨公司的诉讼。因此，私人气候工程可以在相对合法的安全条件下进行)”可推知，从最后一段我们能推断出人工降雨公司将继续存在。故选B。

D

During the last 12 months, have you looked at photographs with family or friends? During the last 12 months, have you taken any photographs or videos to preserve memories? In the nationwide survey in 1995 of nearly 1, 500 people, 91% of respondents (受访者) said they’d looked at photographs with family or friends and 83% had taken a photograph in the past year. If the survey were repeated today, those numbers would certainly be higher. The popularity of smartphone cameras and social media has led to an increase in photo-taking and sharing, from capturing everyday moments to special occasions.

So are all of these captured moments, these personal memories, a part of history? For historians Roy Rosenzweig and David Thelen, the answer is YES, and they believe the very concept of history is developing. They led the 1995 survey to understand how people thought about the past. This groundbreaking study was welcomed by historians and those working in museums, because it helped them to think about the public’s understanding of their field.

Little did Rosenzweig and Thelen know the subject of history was about to be affected by a host of technologies. For example, over a third of the survey’s respondents said they had researched their family history. The activity got much easier the following year, when Paul Brent Allen and Dan Taggart launched Ancestry.com, which is now one of the largest online genealogical (宗谱的) databases. Researching your family tree no longer means studying documents in the local library.

The survey also asked whether respondents had watched a movie or television show about history in the last year; four-fifths responded they had. The survey was conducted shortly before the 1 January 1995 launch of the History Channel, which opened the floodgates on history-themed TV. Nowadays, streaming services let people watch historical documentaries non stop on demand.

Today, people aren’t just watching history. They’re recording it and sharing it in real time. As these technologies become commonplace, they are rewriting the official account of history. Maybe the best way to think about Rosenzweig and Thelen’s survey is that it offered a snapshot (快照) of public habits, as those habits were about to change unavoidably.

32. What is the 1995 survey mainly about?
33. Different family traditions.
34. Public understanding of history.
35. Effects of personal memories on family history.
36. The behavior of camera and social media users.
37. What might be a part of history according to Rosenzweig and Thelen?
38. Live-streaming services. B. Personal opinions on history.
39. Photos taken by smartphones. D. The idea of genealogical database.
40. According to the last paragraph, the 1995 survey______.
41. fails to keep up with technology B. just reflects public habits back then
42. suggests the importance of history D. provides contexts for historical research
43. What could be the best title for the passage?
44. Technology Speeds the Development of History
45. Smartphones May Rewrite the Official History
46. Historians Find a New Way to Explore the Past
47. Technology Can Change Our Concept of History

【答案】32. B   33. C   34. B   35. D    

【解析】

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讨论了智能手机摄像头和社交媒体的普及如何影响人们对历史的理解和记录方式。

【32题详解】

细节理解题。根据文章第二段“They led the 1995 survey to understand how people thought about the past. This groundbreaking study was welcomed by historians and those working in museums, because it helped them to think about the public’s understanding of their field(他们领导了1995年的调查，以了解人们是如何看待过去的。这项开创性的研究受到历史学家和博物馆工作人员的欢迎，因为它有助于他们思考公众对他们领域的理解)”可知，1995年的调查主要是为了了解公众对历史的理解。故选B。

【33题详解】

推理判断题。根据文章第一段“The popularity of smartphone cameras and social media has led to an increase in photo-taking and sharing, from capturing everyday moments to special occasions.(智能手机摄像头和社交媒体的普及导致拍照和分享照片的数量增加，从捕捉日常瞬间到特殊场合。)”和文章第二段“So are all of these captured moments, these personal memories, a part of history? For historians Roy Rosenzweig and David Thelen, the answer is YES, and they believe the very concept of history is developing.(那么，所有这些被捕捉的瞬间，这些个人记忆，是否都是历史的一部分呢？对于历史学家罗伊·罗森茨威格（Roy Rosenzweig）和大卫·塞伦（David Thelen）来说，答案是肯定的，他们认为历史的概念本身也在不断发展。)”可推知，他们认为智能手机拍摄的照片是个人记忆的一部分，也是历史的一部分。故选C。

【34题详解】

细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Maybe the best way to think about Rosenzweig and Thelen’s survey is that it offered a snapshot (快照) of public habits, as those habits were about to change unavoidably.(也许，关于罗森茨威格（Roy Rosenzweig）和塞伦（David Thelen）的调查，最好的解读是，它反映了公众习惯的快照，因为这些习惯即将不可避免地发生改变。)”可知，1995年的调查只是反映了当时的公众习惯。故选B。

【35题详解】

主旨大意题。文章主要讨论了智能手机摄像头和社交媒体的普及如何影响人们对历史的理解和记录方式。文中提到，随着智能手机和社交媒体的普及，人们越来越多地拍摄和分享照片，这些个人记忆被历史学家认为也是历史的一部分。同时，技术的发展还使得研究家族历史变得更加容易，如Ancestry.com这样的在线宗谱数据库的推出。这些变化都显示了技术如何改变我们对历史的看法和认知。由此可知，D项：Technology Can Change Our Concept of History(技术可以改变我们对历史的概念）准确地概括了文章的主旨，是最好的标题。故选D。

Be smart online learners

Network learning has increasingly become an important means for people to acquire knowledge and solve problems. But being smart online learners has its advantages and disadvantages.

First of all, as smart online learners, we can make full use of the most extensive educational resources to broaden the horizon. Besides, we can take the initiative in our study by ourselves without time and space limit.

Of course, these disadvantages are as follows. Faced with all kinds of information on the internet, we can’t tell the difference between the true and the false, which may be harmful to our study and life. On the other hand, online learning itself has some imperfections, making it difficult for us not to be affected.

In conclusion, we should have a good understanding of its advantages and disadvantages and find a proper way to make our study more efficient.

第二节(满分25分)

67. 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。

NEVER STOP WALKING

When Justin was 7, he suffered from a disease that led to problems with the development of his back. Over the years, the little boy had gone through a total of five corrective surgeries. Justin could no longer walk and was limited to a wheelchair. But this did not stop him from living a normal life thanks to his mother’ S love and others’ help.

After entering high school, Justin got interested in playing the trumpet (小号) and joined the school’s band. He served as one of the band’s trumpeters and developed a strong friendship with his partner Tom. As Thanksgiving Day approached, the band intended to perform in the Thanksgiving Day Parade and every member had the chance to join in, including Justin. However, there was one obvious problem. Justin could not control his wheelchair and play the trumpet at the same time. The band director put forward an idea of one student pushing Justin during his marches. Tom immediately volunteered even though it meant he had to give up the opportunity to play his own instrument during the parade.“I do it just to make sure Justin knows that he always has a place in the band, and he always will,“ Tom said to their director secretly. From then on, the two practiced together, one playing the instrument and the other pushing the wheelchair with the rhythm of the music.

To help Justin, Tom sacrificed (牺牲) far beyond expectation. Apart from losing the chance to perform, he needed to spare more time to take care of Justin and even missed his football training several times. All of these were seen by Justin and the burden of guilt weighed heavily on his mind.“I can’t meet my own needs at the sacrifice of Tom’s chance. It is time to find a solution.” Justin thought to himself as his mother pushed him on the way home. His mother lowered her head and said,“Justin, play me your new tune.” Justin took out his trumpet and was about to play when an excellent idea came to him.

Thanksgiving finally came, as did Justin and mom’s performance.

【答案】Possible version

He turned around to ask his mother for help. “Mom, could you please push me in the Thanksgiving Day Parade instead of Tom? He gave up his chance of performing to assist me.” Justin looked up at his mother, eagerly awaiting her reply. “Sure, my dear!” Mom bent and kissed his forehead. “I’m happy to join you and witness every moment of your growth.” Justin grinned from ear to ear with the huge load off his mind. With Mom’s participation, the practice went smoothly and joyfully, every member, Justin and Tom included, having a place in the performance and playing their part intently in preparation for the big day.

Thanksgiving finally came, as did Justin and mom’s performance. Dressed in the same performing suit, mom pushed Justin proudly with a bright smile on her face as Justin threw himself heart and soul into the performance. Joyful music floating in the air, the mother and son were indeed a perfect match in the parade, which soon became the center of attention. The entire audience broke into thunderous applause, not only for the whole band’s performance, but also for the love between Justin and his mother. Sometimes one person may not walk, but love and assistance can help go anywhere.
