Born into poverty on 21 May 1799, Mary Anning had to work hard from a young age. Her parents had 10 children, of whom only two survived childhood --- Mary and her elder brother Joseph. Mary’s own survival was said by her parents to be a wonder. At the age of 15 months, a sudden rainstorm hit the shelter, where Mary, her babysitter, and two children stayed. A lightning strike killed them all except Mary.
She didn’t have formal education and was only taught to read at a Sunday school. Raised in the seaside holiday village of Lyme Regis in Dorset, Mary and Joseph made a living by selling fossils to holidaymakers at their father’s waterfront booth.
Her life changed in 1811 when Joseph noticed bones mixed together with rock. Unknown to them, this was the first ever discovery of an ichthyosaurus ( 鱼 龙 ), a marine lizard from the Triassic period. Anning noted down every find she made, and after failing to find any new fossils for over a year, in 1821 she made her next discovery, digging up three more ichthyosaur skeletons. This was followed two years later by an even more impressive find --- a complete plesiosaur(蛇颈龙). This was so extraordinary that many leading scientists declared it a counterfeit, unwilling to believe that an uneducated 24-year-old could find such remarkable remains. Additionally, society at the time was highly religious and many rejected these discoveries as they conflicted with the teachings of the Bible.
Despite the setback, Anning continued to make more shocking revelations. Anning also dug up fossilized shit, which made experts know the diets of prehistoric creatures. But her biggest find of all was the first complete skeleton of a pterosaur in 1828.
All of Mary Anning’s discoveries helped influence the study of paleontology(古生物学) as scientists began to take an increased interest in fossilized animals and plants. Her work also encouraged people to question the history of the Earth in more detail and encouraged girls and those from poor backgrounds by proving that they could succeed in scientific study, a profession mainly controlled by wealthy upper-class men.
4. What can we learn about Mary Anning from the first two paragraphs
A. It was not easy for her to survive.
B. She didn’t experience the lightning strike.
C. She didn’t get basic knowledge about science.
D. It was impossible for her to find a job outside.
5. What does the underlined word “counterfeit” in Paragraph 3 mean
A. Something not needed.
B. Something not valuable.
C. Something not authentic.
D. Something not beneficial.
6. Anning’s findings of fossilized shit helped ________.
A. her get international fame
B. make her become more professional
C. experts better understand prehistoric creatures
D. convince the leading scientists of her discovery
7. The last paragraph mainly wants to show ________.
A. the process of her findings
B. the significance of her discoveries
C. the discoveries of fossilized animals
D. the background of her scientific study
C
Siri is a virtual assistant, applied to electronic devices with the ability to recognize humans' speech, answer questions, make recommendations and so on. Ask Siri if she's a woman. Go ahead; ask about her gender. She'll tell you that she' s "genderless". So are many other virtual assistants. But, man, do they ever sound a lot like women Yes. Culturally, we think of them as ladies, too.
If we advocate gender diversity in other areas of daily life, why does our tech sound so female It would be easy to blame male designers. Perhaps it's influenced by science fiction. But the biggest reason rests in social science. “Research indicates there's likely to be greater acceptance of female speech,” says Karl MacDorman, an associate professor at Indiana University who specializes in human-computer communication. MacDorman and his team played male and female voices to people of both genders, and then asked them to identify which they preferred. They reported that both women and men said male voices sounded seemingly indifferent, in comparison.
Why do we have such prejudice Stanford University communication professor Clifford Nass says that people tend to consider female voices to be helpful for them to solve their problems by themselves, while they view male voices as those from authority figures who tell them the answers to their problems.
This finding suggests that companies will make a better impression on a broader group of customers with a woman's voice — but not just any voice. It has to be based on a brand's personality. Greg Pal, vice president of business development at Nuance Communications, Inc. insists that some brands choose male speakers. He turned on his iPhone and pulled up the Domino's Pizza app, which has an assistant, Dom. He sounded like his high school English teacher — educated. That's right for a brand attempting to appeal to guys ordering pies before the big game.
As voice technology improves, though, designers say diversity will too. Many devices already let you customize a voice interface (界面). Siri can become a sir as you want it — if you take the time to reprogram it.
8. Why does Siri sound female
A. Because it is designed by a female.
B Because it is related to social science.
C. Because it is affected by gender prejudice.
D. Because it is influenced by science fiction.
9. The strength of a virtual assistant with a female voice is that ________.
A. it can convey authorities B. it can give direct answers
C. it can show warmer feelings D. it can give clearer answers
10. The example of Dom in Domino's Pizza app is used to show that ________.
A. the female voice better attracts customers
B. the voice needs to match the product’s personality
C. the male voice begins to be accepted by customers
D. the male voice can be designed to sound like a teacher
11. What is the suitable title of this passage
A. Siri can become a sir.
B. Why does Siri sound like a women
C. Siri --- a good virtual assistant.
D. Is Siri genderless
D
Innovations are not always welcome. In 1589 William Lee made his way to the English court, hoping to be granted a patent for his invention, a knitting machine. Queen Elizabeth I turned him down: "Consider what the invention could do to my poor subjects," she commanded. " It would assuredly bring ruin to them by robbing them of employment. "
The fears of Good Queen Bess have echoed down the centuries from the Luddites, which destroyed textile machinery in the early 19th century, to John F. Kennedy, who warned of the dangers of automation during his presidential campaign of 1960. In the 21st century the concerns have switched to robots and artificial intelligence; 30% of American workers believe their jobs are likely to be replaced by robots and computers in their lifetime. In the past the relationship between machines and human labor has been driven by two factors: the substituting effect, which caused people to lose jobs, and the complementing effect, which allowed employees to do their work more productively. Mr. Susskind worries that, in the future, the substituting effect will take over. Advances in AI have been so rapid that machines will eventually be better than people at most activities, he says, and so will be the "default (默 认 ) choice" for performing them. A few highly paid humans will still be employed, but the rest will either struggle to find work or fall into the "precariat", stuck in jobs that are not just poorly paid but also unstable and stressful.
This depressing view of the impact of technology is plausible (貌似有理的). But so is a more optimistic outlook, as the economist Roger Bootle showed in his book. Mr. Bootle argued that AI and robotics would improve productivity and economic growth, and release people from performing the most lengthy tasks. As for employment, there will always be demand for services with the human touch. Perhaps, the truth is that it is impossible to be sure whether the latest advances will in the end have mainly good or bad economic effects.
12. What's the purpose of the examples in Paragraphs 1 and 2
A. To tell people how many inventions are made.
B. To remind people how important the machines are.
C. To show some people's attitude toward new inventions.
D. To demonstrate the potential dangers to human beings.
13. What is Mr. Susskind concerned about
A. The complementing effect will make people productive.
B. Many people will be unemployed for the substituting effect.
C. American workers will be replaced by robots because of the complementing effect.
D. Employees will work less productively on account of the substituting effect.
14. What do we know about AI according to Roger Bootle
A. The impact of AI is depressing.
B. He showed a pessimistic attitude to AI in his book.
C. AI and robotics would harm productivity and economic growth.
D. AI and robotics release people from performing long and tiring tasks.
15. What is the author's attitude toward AI
A. Positive B. Negative
C. Objective D. Indifferent

Born into poverty on 21 May 1799, Mary Anning had to work hard from a young age. Her parents had 10 children, of whom only two survived childhood --- Mary and her elder brother Joseph. Mary’s own survival was said by her parents to be a wonder. At the age of 15 months, a sudden rainstorm hit the shelter, where Mary, her babysitter, and two children stayed. A lightning strike killed them all except Mary.
She didn’t have formal education and was only taught to read at a Sunday school. Raised in the seaside holiday village of Lyme Regis in Dorset, Mary and Joseph made a living by selling fossils to holidaymakers at their father’s waterfront booth.
Her life changed in 1811 when Joseph noticed bones mixed together with rock. Unknown to them, this was the first ever discovery of an ichthyosaurus ( 鱼 龙 ), a marine lizard from the Triassic period. Anning noted down every find she made, and after failing to find any new fossils for over a year, in 1821 she made her next discovery, digging up three more ichthyosaur skeletons. This was followed two years later by an even more impressive find --- a complete plesiosaur(蛇颈龙). This was so extraordinary that many leading scientists declared it a counterfeit, unwilling to believe that an uneducated 24-year-old could find such remarkable remains. Additionally, society at the time was highly religious and many rejected these discoveries as they conflicted with the teachings of the Bible.
Despite the setback, Anning continued to make more shocking revelations. Anning also dug up fossilized shit, which made experts know the diets of prehistoric creatures. But her biggest find of all was the first complete skeleton of a pterosaur in 1828.
All of Mary Anning’s discoveries helped influence the study of paleontology(古生物学) as scientists began to take an increased interest in fossilized animals and plants. Her work also encouraged people to question the history of the Earth in more detail and encouraged girls and those from poor backgrounds by proving that they could succeed in scientific study, a profession mainly controlled by wealthy upper-class men.
4. What can we learn about Mary Anning from the first two paragraphs
A. It was not easy for her to survive.
B. She didn’t experience the lightning strike.
C. She didn’t get basic knowledge about science.
D. It was impossible for her to find a job outside.
5. What does the underlined word “counterfeit” in Paragraph 3 mean
A. Something not needed.
B. Something not valuable.
C. Something not authentic.
D. Something not beneficial.
6. Anning’s findings of fossilized shit helped ________.
A. her get international fame
B. make her become more professional
C. experts better understand prehistoric creatures
D. convince the leading scientists of her discovery
7. The last paragraph mainly wants to show ________.
A. the process of her findings
B. the significance of her discoveries

Siri is a virtual assistant, applied to electronic devices with the ability to recognize humans' speech, answer questions, make recommendations and so on. Ask Siri if she's a woman. Go ahead; ask about her gender. She'll tell you that she' s "genderless". So are many other virtual assistants. But, man, do they ever sound a lot like women Yes. Culturally, we think of them as ladies, too.
If we advocate gender diversity in other areas of daily life, why does our tech sound so female It would be easy to blame male designers. Perhaps it's influenced by science fiction. But the biggest reason rests in social science. “Research indicates there's likely to be greater acceptance of female speech,” says Karl MacDorman, an associate professor at Indiana University who specializes in human-computer communication. MacDorman and his team played male and female voices to people of both genders, and then asked them to identify which they preferred. They reported that both women and men said male voices sounded seemingly indifferent, in comparison.
Why do we have such prejudice Stanford University communication professor Clifford Nass says that people tend to consider female voices to be helpful for them to solve their problems by themselves, while they view male voices as those from authority figures who tell them the answers to their problems.
This finding suggests that companies will make a better impression on a broader group of customers with a woman's voice — but not just any voice. It has to be based on a brand's personality. Greg Pal, vice president of business development at Nuance Communications, Inc. insists that some brands choose male speakers. He turned on his iPhone and pulled up the Domino's Pizza app, which has an assistant, Dom. He sounded like his high school English teacher — educated. That's right for a brand attempting to appeal to guys ordering pies before the big game.
As voice technology improves, though, designers say diversity will too. Many devices already let you customize a voice interface (界面). Siri can become a sir as you want it — if you take the time to reprogram it.
8. Why does Siri sound female
A. Because it is designed by a female.
B. Because it is related to social science.
C. Because it is affected by gender prejudice.
D. Because it is influenced by science fiction.
9. The strength of a virtual assistant with a female voice is that ________.
A. it can convey authorities B. it can give direct answers
C. it can show warmer feelings D. it can give clearer answers
10. The example of Dom in Domino's Pizza app is used to show that ________.
A. the female voice better attracts customers
B. the voice needs to match the product’s personality
C. the male voice begins to be accepted by customers
D. the male voice can be designed to sound like a teacher
11. What is the suitable title of this passage
A. Siri can become a sir.
B. Why does Siri sound like a women
C. Siri --- a good virtual assistant.
D. Is Siri genderless
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. B 11. B
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了Siri等语音技术中多采用女性声音的现象以及背后的原因。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“If we advocate gender diversity in other areas of daily life, why does our tech sound so female It would be easy to blame male designers. Perhaps it's influenced by science fiction. But the biggest reason rests in social science.（果我们在日常生活的其他领域倡导性别多样性，为什么我们的科技听起来如此女性化？这很容易归咎于男性设计师。也许是受到科幻小说的影响。但最大的原因在于社会科学。）”可知，Siri听起来像女性的声音，主要是因为社会科学的影响。故选B项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Stanford University communication professor Clifford Nass says that people tend to consider female voices to be helpful for them to solve their problems by themselves, while they view male voices as those from authority figures who tell them the answers to their problems.（斯坦福大学传播学教授Clifford Nass说，人们倾向于认为女性的声音有助于他们自己解决问题，而他们认为男性的声音来自权威人士，告诉他们问题的答案。）”可知，女性声音更容易给人温暖的感觉，有助于解决问题。其他选项不符合题意。故选C项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“It has to be based on a brand's personality.（它必须基于一个品牌的个性。）”可知，该段提到Dom这个例子是为了说明“声音需要与产品的个性相匹配”。故选B项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其根据第一段“But, man, do they ever sound a lot like women Yes.（但是，伙计，她们的声音听起来很像女人吗？是的。）”可知，文章主要介绍Siri等语音技术为什么多采用女性声音的原因。B项“为什么 Siri 听起来像个女人？”符合题意，适合做标题。故选B项。

Innovations are not always welcome. In 1589 William Lee made his way to the English court, hoping to be granted a patent for his invention, a knitting machine. Queen Elizabeth I turned him down: "Consider what the invention could do to my poor subjects," she commanded. " It would assuredly bring ruin to them by robbing them of employment. "
The fears of Good Queen Bess have echoed down the centuries from the Luddites, which destroyed textile machinery in the early 19th century, to John F. Kennedy, who warned of the dangers of automation during his presidential campaign of 1960. In the 21st century the concerns have switched to robots and artificial intelligence; 30% of American workers believe their jobs are likely to be replaced by robots and computers in their lifetime. In the past the relationship between machines and human labor has been driven by two factors: the substituting effect, which caused people to lose jobs, and the complementing effect, which allowed employees to do their work more productively. Mr. Susskind worries that, in the future, the substituting effect will take over. Advances in AI have been so rapid that machines will eventually be better than people at most activities, he says, and so will be the "default (默 认 ) choice" for performing them. A few highly paid humans will still be employed, but the rest will either struggle to find work or fall into the "precariat", stuck in jobs that are not just poorly paid but also unstable and stressful.
This depressing view of the impact of technology is plausible (貌似有理的). But so is a more optimistic outlook, as the economist Roger Bootle showed in his book. Mr. Bootle argued that AI and robotics would improve productivity and economic growth, and release people from performing the most lengthy tasks. As for employment, there will always be demand for services with the human touch. Perhaps, the truth is that it is impossible to be sure whether the latest advances will in the end have mainly good or bad economic effects.
12. What's the purpose of the examples in Paragraphs 1 and 2
A. To tell people how many inventions are made.
B. To remind people how important the machines are.
C. To show some people's attitude toward new inventions.
D. To demonstrate the potential dangers to human beings.
13. What is Mr. Susskind concerned about
A. The complementing effect will make people productive.
B. Many people will be unemployed for the substituting effect.
C. American workers will be replaced by robots because of the complementing effect.
D. Employees will work less productively on account of the substituting effect.
14. What do we know about AI according to Roger Bootle
A. The impact of AI is depressing.
B. He showed a pessimistic attitude to AI in his book.
C. AI and robotics would harm productivity and economic growth.
D. AI and robotics release people from performing long and tiring tasks.
15. What is the author's attitude toward AI
A. Positive B. Negative
C. Objective D. Indifferent
【答案】12 C 13. B 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章通过举例说明技术发明对人们的影响证明了创新并不总是受欢迎的。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Innovations are not always welcome.（创新并不总是受欢迎的。）”提出了一个人们对创新的态度的论点，然后根据所举例的Queen Elizabeth I以及John F. Kennedy对创新的态度可知，举例的目的是为了说明人们对新发明的态度。故选C项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Mr. Susskind worries that, in the future, the substituting effect will take over. Advances in AI have been so rapid that machines will eventually be better than people at most activities,（Susskind先生担心，在未来，替代效应将取而代之。他说，人工智能发展如此迅速，以至于机器最终在大多数活动上都会比人类做得更好，）”可知，Susskind先生担心“由于替代效应，许多人将失业”。故选B项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Mr. Bootle argued that AI and robotics would improve productivity and economic growth, and release people from performing the most lengthy tasks.（Bootle先生认为，人工智能和机器人技术可以提高生产力和经济增长，让人们不用再执行最冗长的任务。）”可知，Bootle先生认为人工智能和机器人技术使人们从长时间劳累的工作中解脱出来。故选D项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Perhaps, the truth is that it is impossible to be sure whether the latest advances will in the end have mainly good or bad economic effects.（也许，事实是，我们无法确定最新的进展最终主要会产生好的还是坏的经济影响。）”中的impossible to be sure可知，作者对于人工智能（AI）的态度是客观的（objective）。故选C项。

【解析】
【分析】本文是一封申请信。李华申请成为2022年冬奥会的志愿者。
【详解】1.考查主谓一致。句意：我听说北京2022年冬奥会需要志愿者。主语volunteers是复数，谓语动词用复数，文章主时态是一般现在时，故将is改为are。
2.考查介词。句意：我写信想申请这个职位。固定短语：apply to的意思是“适用于”；apply for的意思是“申请”，此处表示“申请这个职位”，故将to改为for。
3.考查冠词。句意：作为北京人，我认为为外宾提供最好的志愿服务，同时弘扬中华文化，是我的荣幸和责任。native“本地人，当地人”为可数名词，此处指作者本人，所以应用单数，其前要加不定冠词。故as后加a。
4.考查非谓语动词。句意同上。It is + n.+for sb. to do sth.是固定搭配，根据本句中and可知，此处的promote和to offer为并列关系，当不定式并列时，第一个动词前要加上to，其它的可以省略to。所以promoting改为promote。
5.考查形容词。句意：我相信我能胜任这份工作。am是系动词，接形容词作表语，be equal to sth.“能够胜任某工作/职位”。故将equally改为equal。
6.考查状语从句的省略。句意：我有很好的英语能力，我有信心在需要的时候给球员指导和帮助。分析句子可知，此处是as(I am)required的省略，当主句主语和从句主语一致，且从句谓语动词有be时，从句主语和be可以省略，I和require是动宾关系，应该用被动语态，故将requiring改为required。
7.考查代词。句意：而且，我对冬季运动有一定的了解，这对于和运动员交流很有帮助。分析可知，which之后的内容为非限制性定语从句，which在从句中作主语，指代主句，所以此处they多余，故删除they。
8.考查时态。句意：此外，我还参加了几个国际交流项目，我喜欢向外国人传播我们的文化。根据前文内容可知，作者讲述了自己想作为一名申请人的优势，所以用了一般现在时。此处指自己在申请之前已经参加过一些国际的交流项目，表明这些项目带给自己的结果，所以时态要用现在完成时。故had改为have。
9.考查连词。句意同上。分析可知，逗号前后的两个分句是并列关系，并非转折，故将but改为and。
10.考查名词。句意：如果你能给我机会，我会很感激的。此处特指上文提到的这一次机会，名词用单数，故将opportunities改为opportunity。
