Friday night, I was struggling to choose a good movie to watch. I spent 20 minutes looking through hundreds of choices at Amazon Video and still couldn’t decide. In the back of my mind, I was thinking that I had to choose a great movie to watch, because if didn’t I would be wasting my time. I thought that instead of watching a bad movie, I would be better off using my time in a more meaningful way (I see this as an opportunity cost). After seeing the reviews and asking around for suggestions, ended up watching LaLa Land, a popular movie that most of my friends have seen recently.
The next day, I went to Duane Reade to buy toothpaste and was overwhelmed again by the large quantity of the choice. I started wondering if more choices empower consumers or just make them think they are empowered, when in reality they are just at a loss.
From finding a good restaurant to searching for your life partner, everything is all about choices; big or small, they are all related. Take dating life in New York for example. There are an endless range of choices which can lead to many New Yorkers finding it hard to make a decision. It is a big city with a lot of lonely “I could do better” people that are constantly searching for the next best one.
It doesn’t contradict with providing people choices and information to empower them, as there is difference between having a reasonable number of choices and an overwhelming amount. When we are overwhelmed with the number of choices we have, we end up less satisfied with the choice we make. You might calculate the opportunity cost and think about “what if”.
I’ve started to realize that living a life with simplicity can sometimes be a challenge, but it is certainly worth it.
24 Why did the writer find it hard to choose a movie to watch
A. He thought watching a bad movie wasn’t meaningful.
B. He found it challenging to choose from so many choices.
C. He didn’t know which movies were popular among his friends.
D. He believed it a waste of time to look through hundreds of choices.
25. What can be inferred from the text
A. Living a simple life is always challenging.
B. More choices may lead to dissatisfaction with our decision.
C. New Yorkers tend to be discontented their dating partner.
D. Opportunity cost is what we should consider when making a decision.
26. What’s the author’s attitude towards the endless choices presented to him
A. Positive. B. Neutral. C. Unconcerned. D. Negative
27. Which of the following is the best title of the passage
A. Less is Better B. Make Your Choice Goad
C. More Choices, More Opportunities D. Simple is Better, Less is More
C
Slowly but surely, we’re moving closer and closer to 5G world. From smart-home security to self-driving cars, all the internet-connected devices in your life will be able to talk to each other at lightning-fast speeds with reduced delay, Objectively speaking, the fastest 4G download speeds in the U. S. top out at an average of 19.42 Mbps. But by comparison 5G promises gigabit (千兆) speeds.
“5G is one of those signs, along with artificial intelligence, of this coming data age,” said Steve Koenig, senior director of market research for the Consumer Technology Association. “The self-driving vehicle is a great emblem of this data age, and that is to say, it is a sign of time, because with one single task, driving, you have massive amounts of data coming from the vehicle itself, and a variety of sensors are collecting a lot of information to model its environment as it moves. It’s pulling in data from other vehicles about road conditions down the lane. It could be weather information, but also connected infrastructure (基础设施) construction. There’s lots of data behind that task, which is why we need high speed.
Augmented reality glasses and virtual headset haven’t yet broken the mainstream, but tech companies are joyfully betting that these devices will eventually replace our smart-phones. With 5G, that could actually happen. This is notable because companies such as Apple are reportedly developing AR glasses to assist — or perhaps even replace — smartphones.
Ericsson stated at February’s Mobile World Congress how smart glasses could become faster and lighter with a 5G connection, because instead of being weighed down with components, the glasses could rely on hardware for processing power.
But don’t get too excited. There’s still a lot of work to be done in the meantime, including various trials to make sure the radios play nicely with hardware and infrastructure construction so 5G isn’t concentrated only in big cities.
28. What does the author want to stress in Paragraph 1
A. The lighting-fast speed of 5G.
B. The expectation of 5G world.
C. The difference between 4G and 5G
D. The internet-connected devices in our life.
29. What does the underlined word “emblem” in Paragraph 2 mean
A. Exhibition. B. Success. C. Symbol. D. Explanation.
30. what can we infer from the text
A.5G world won’t come without AR glasses
B.5G helps to create the artificial intelligence vehicle
C. Apple company is developing AR glasses worldwide
D. Tech companies will face the fact that smartphones may be replaced
31. What will the author probably tell us next
A. How to fully expand 5G coverage. B. Smart glasses will become faster and lighter.
C. Why 5G isn’t concentrated in big cities. D. The importance of infrastructure construction.
D
Artificial intelligence （Al） could soon help screen for Alzheimer's （阿尔兹海默症）disease by analyzing writing. A team from IBM and Pfizer says it has trained Al models to spot early signs of the illness by looking at language patterns in word usage.
Other researchers have already trained various models to look for signs of cognitive impairments （认知损伤）by using different types of data, such as brain scans and clinical test results. But the latest work stands out because it used historical information from the Framingham Heart Study, which has been tracking the health of more than 14,000 people from three generations since 1948. If the new models' ability to pick up trends in such data holds up in forward-looking studies of bigger and more diverse populations, researchers say they could predict the development of Alzheimer's disease a number of years before symptoms become severe enough for typical diagnostic methods to pick up. And such a screening tool would not require invasive （入侵性的）tests or scans.
Researchers praise the study as a solid contribution to the field that might draw more attention and resources to Al detection of Alzheimer's disease. It's one of the very few works that analyze the big-scale, real-life data that was collected over a very long period of time.
The new models might have been more accurate if it could have contained handwriting. This ability could provide additional clues. Using Al speech analysis to diagnose Alzheimer's disease is a growing area of research, and other systems have focused on detecting changes in audio samples. These contain clues such as speech pauses, which are not found in writing.
Whether written or spoken, language samples offer a relatively noninvasive source of information for monitoring people’s cognitive health, compared with brain scans and other laboratory tests. Collecting such language data could be done cheaply and remotely—though doing so would still require strict informed permission and private information safeguards for the individuals creating the samples. This is especially true because some people may not want to even know how likely they are to develop Alzheimer's disease.
32. How can Al help in spotting signs of Alzheimer's disease
A. By scanning the person's brain. B. By studying the person's various data.
C. By analyzing the person's word usage. D. By testing the person's writing articles.
33. What's special about the Al models from IBM
A. They are based on historical data.
B. They detect early signs precisely.
C. They are applied to a wider population.
D. They make follow-up studies unnecessary.
34. What might be a concern about the Al models for tested people
A. Sample analysis. B. Data analysis.
C. Screening results. D. Privacy protection.
35. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Al——a way to fight Alzheimer’s B. AI——a tool to detect Alzheimer’s
C. Al — a trend in treating diseases D. Al — a method for collecting data
第二节 （共 5 小题，每小题2分，满分 10分）
Have you ever bought a gift for a friend, simply because it’s a gift that you like yourself 36 Such activity is called “social projection (投射)” and is the focus of new marketing research.
The study, “I Love the Product, but Will You The Role of Interpersonal Attachment Styles in Social Projection,” is authored by David, an assistant professor of marketing, and published in Psychology & Marketing. Research results are based on the surveys of 1,272 people.
The research reveals that people who are “secure” in interpersonal settings are the ones most likely to engage in social projection. Conversely(相反)，those who are “anxious” in such settings are less likely to assume that others share their own preferences. 37
“You’d think that secure people who tend to be older, in a committed relationship and earn a higher-income with lots of friends and healthy personal relationships would have a better idea of what someone would like as a gift. 38 David said. “This research shows that individuals who are anxious in interpersonal situations and who have fewer close, personal relationships are better at predicting what a person may like.”
39 Anxious individuals, on the contrary, tend to be younger and earn a lower income. Securely attached persons, who are people expecting others will be available and supportive when needed, are more likely to choose a gift based on their own preferences, while an anxious one more likely to consider what the recipients(接收者) may like.
Gifts should be thoughtful. Therefore, secure people should be mindful of their choice of gifts. They need to take caution when selecting and buying gifts. 40
A. But that’s not the case.
B. However, anxious individuals may not always be the best.
C. If so, it’s likely that you projected your own attitudes onto your friend.
D. Secure individuals tend to be older and earn a higher income.
E. Secure individuals make choices on behalf of others based on their own preferences.
F. Thus, they are less likely to make choices for a friend based on their personal attitudes.
G. Preferably, these individuals should put their own preferences aside when choosing gifts.

Travelling alone can be a little frightening. However, this time is 41 . Last week I had a holiday from work, but all my friends were occupied and none of them had the same 42 as mine. Such as it was, I still booked a train ride to Toronto and 43 a bed in a hotel for one week.
One week by myself! Would I be lonely Would I be 44 Quite the opposite! In fact, there are many 45 that come from travelling alone. Firstly, I was able to do whatever I wanted.

Instead of 48 someone else to remember 49 or to suggest activities to do, I discovered my independence and 50 map-reading skills that I didn’t know I had. I could 51 and go to sleep when I wanted. Being in the safe environment of a hotel with like-minded 52 also gives a great opportunity to meet new people from all over the world, which can help conquer 53
I found that there were also some disadvantages of travelling alone 54 the benefits. I missed having someone to talk to and to 55 ideas with. Experiences are often more enjoyable if they are 56 , and part of the fun of travelling is the 57 that you have with your friends or families afterwards. 58 , eating in a restaurant or cooking in the hotel alone is less fun.

Friday night, I was struggling to choose a good movie to watch. I spent 20 minutes looking through hundreds of choices at Amazon Video and still couldn’t decide. In the back of my mind, I was thinking that I had to choose a great movie to watch, because if didn’t I would be wasting my time. I thought that instead of watching a bad movie, I would be better off using my time in a more meaningful way (I see this as an opportunity cost). After seeing the reviews and asking around for suggestions, ended up watching LaLa Land, a popular movie that most of my friends have seen recently.
The next day, I went to Duane Reade to buy toothpaste and was overwhelmed again by the large quantity of the choice. I started wondering if more choices empower consumers or just make them think they are empowered, when in reality they are just at a loss.
From finding a good restaurant to searching for your life partner, everything is all about choices; big or small, they are all related. Take dating life in New York for example. There are an endless range of choices which can lead to many New Yorkers finding it hard to make a decision. It is a big city with a lot of lonely “I could do better” people that are constantly searching for the next best one.
It doesn’t contradict with providing people choices and information to empower them, as there is difference between having a reasonable number of choices and an overwhelming amount. When we are overwhelmed with the number of choices we have, we end up less satisfied with the choice we make. You might calculate the opportunity cost and think about “what if”.
I’ve started to realize that living a life with simplicity can sometimes be a challenge, but it is certainly worth it.
24 Why did the writer find it hard to choose a movie to watch
A. He thought watching a bad movie wasn’t meaningful.
B. He found it challenging to choose from so many choices.
C. He didn’t know which movies were popular among his friends.
D. He believed it a waste of time to look through hundreds of choices.
25. What can be inferred from the text
A. Living a simple life is always challenging.
B. More choices may lead to dissatisfaction with our decision.
C. New Yorkers tend to be discontented their dating partner.
D. Opportunity cost is what we should consider when making a decision.
26. What’s the author’s attitude towards the endless choices presented to him
A. Positive. B. Neutral. C. Unconcerned. D. Negative
27. Which of the following is the best title of the passage
A. Less is Better B. Make Your Choice Goad
C. More Choices, More Opportunities D. Simple is Better, Less is More
C
Slowly but surely, we’re moving closer and closer to 5G world. From smart-home security to self-driving cars, all the internet-connected devices in your life will be able to talk to each other at lightning-fast speeds with reduced delay, Objectively speaking, the fastest 4G download speeds in the U. S. top out at an average of 19.42 Mbps. But by comparison 5G promises gigabit (千兆) speeds.
“5G is one of those signs, along with artificial intelligence, of this coming data age,” said Steve Koenig, senior director of market research for the Consumer Technology Association. “The self-driving vehicle is a great emblem of this data age, and that is to say, it is a sign of time, because with one single task, driving, you have massive amounts of data coming from the vehicle itself, and a variety of sensors are collecting a lot of information to model its environment as it moves. It’s pulling in data from other vehicles about road conditions down the lane. It could be weather information, but also connected infrastructure (基础设施) construction. There’s lots of data behind that task, which is why we need high speed.
Augmented reality glasses and virtual headset haven’t yet broken the mainstream, but tech companies are joyfully betting that these devices will eventually replace our smart-phones. With 5G, that could actually happen. This is notable because companies such as Apple are reportedly developing AR glasses to assist — or perhaps even replace — smartphones.
Ericsson stated at February’s Mobile World Congress how smart glasses could become faster and lighter with a 5G connection, because instead of being weighed down with components, the glasses could rely on hardware for processing power.
But don’t get too excited. There’s still a lot of work to be done in the meantime, including various trials to make sure the radios play nicely with hardware and infrastructure construction so 5G isn’t concentrated only in big cities.
28. What does the author want to stress in Paragraph 1
A. The lighting-fast speed of 5G.
B. The expectation of 5G world.
C. The difference between 4G and 5G
D. The internet-connected devices in our life.
29. What does the underlined word “emblem” in Paragraph 2 mean
A. Exhibition. B. Success. C. Symbol. D. Explanation.
30. what can we infer from the text
A.5G world won’t come without AR glasses
B.5G helps to create the artificial intelligence vehicle
C. Apple company is developing AR glasses worldwide
D. Tech companies will face the fact that smartphones may be replaced
31. What will the author probably tell us next
A. How to fully expand 5G coverage. B. Smart glasses will become faster and lighter.
C. Why 5G isn’t concentrated in big cities. D. The importance of infrastructure construction.
D
Artificial intelligence （Al） could soon help screen for Alzheimer's （阿尔兹海默症）disease by analyzing writing. A team from IBM and Pfizer says it has trained Al models to spot early signs of the illness by looking at language patterns in word usage.
Other researchers have already trained various models to look for signs of cognitive impairments （认知损伤）by using different types of data, such as brain scans and clinical test results. But the latest work stands out because it used historical information from the Framingham Heart Study, which has been tracking the health of more than 14,000 people from three generations since 1948. If the new models' ability to pick up trends in such data holds up in forward-looking studies of bigger and more diverse populations, researchers say they could predict the development of Alzheimer's disease a number of years before symptoms become severe enough for typical diagnostic methods to pick up. And such a screening tool would not require invasive （入侵性的）tests or scans.
Researchers praise the study as a solid contribution to the field that might draw more attention and resources to Al detection of Alzheimer's disease. It's one of the very few works that analyze the big-scale, real-life data that was collected over a very long period of time.
The new models might have been more accurate if it could have contained handwriting. This ability could provide additional clues. Using Al speech analysis to diagnose Alzheimer's disease is a growing area of research, and other systems have focused on detecting changes in audio samples. These contain clues such as speech pauses, which are not found in writing.
Whether written or spoken, language samples offer a relatively noninvasive source of information for monitoring people’s cognitive health, compared with brain scans and other laboratory tests. Collecting such language data could be done cheaply and remotely—though doing so would still require strict informed permission and private information safeguards for the individuals creating the samples. This is especially true because some people may not want to even know how likely they are to develop Alzheimer's disease.
32. How can Al help in spotting signs of Alzheimer's disease
A. By scanning the person's brain. B. By studying the person's various data.
C. By analyzing the person's word usage. D. By testing the person's writing articles.
33. What's special about the Al models from IBM
A. They are based on historical data.
B. They detect early signs precisely.
C. They are applied to a wider population.
D. They make follow-up studies unnecessary.
34. What might be a concern about the Al models for tested people
A. Sample analysis. B. Data analysis.
C. Screening results. D. Privacy protection.
35. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Al——a way to fight Alzheimer’s B. AI——a tool to detect Alzheimer’s
C. Al — a trend in treating diseases D. Al — a method for collecting data

Have you ever bought a gift for a friend, simply because it’s a gift that you like yourself 36 Such activity is called “social projection (投射)” and is the focus of new marketing research.
The study, “I Love the Product, but Will You The Role of Interpersonal Attachment Styles in Social Projection,” is authored by David, an assistant professor of marketing, and published in Psychology & Marketing. Research results are based on the surveys of 1,272 people.
The research reveals that people who are “secure” in interpersonal settings are the ones most likely to engage in social projection. Conversely(相反)，those who are “anxious” in such settings are less likely to assume that others share their own preferences. 37
“You’d think that secure people who tend to be older, in a committed relationship and earn a higher-income with lots of friends and healthy personal relationships would have a better idea of what someone would like as a gift. 38 David said. “This research shows that individuals who are anxious in interpersonal situations and who have fewer close, personal relationships are better at predicting what a person may like.”
39 Anxious individuals, on the contrary, tend to be younger and earn a lower income. Securely attached persons, who are people expecting others will be available and supportive when needed, are more likely to choose a gift based on their own preferences, while an anxious one more likely to consider what the recipients(接收者) may like.
Gifts should be thoughtful. Therefore, secure people should be mindful of their choice of gifts. They need to take caution when selecting and buying gifts. 40
A. But that’s not the case.
B. However, anxious individuals may not always be the best.
C. If so, it’s likely that you projected your own attitudes onto your friend.
D. Secure individuals tend to be older and earn a higher income.
E. Secure individuals make choices on behalf of others based on their own preferences.
F. Thus, they are less likely to make choices for a friend based on their personal attitudes.
G. Preferably, these individuals should put their own preferences aside when choosing gifts.

Travelling alone can be a little frightening. However, this time is 41 . Last week I had a holiday from work, but all my friends were occupied and none of them had the same 42 as mine. Such as it was, I still booked a train ride to Toronto and 43 a bed in a hotel for one week.
One week by myself! Would I be lonely Would I be 44 Quite the opposite! In fact, there are many 45 that come from travelling alone. Firstly, I was able to do whatever I wanted.

Instead of 48 someone else to remember 49 or to suggest activities to do, I discovered my independence and 50 map-reading skills that I didn’t know I had. I could 51 and go to sleep when I wanted. Being in the safe environment of a hotel with like-minded 52 also gives a great opportunity to meet new people from all over the world, which can help conquer 53
I found that there were also some disadvantages of travelling alone 54 the benefits. I missed having someone to talk to and to 55 ideas with.

When I was a freshman at college, I spend most of my spare time taking a part-time job in the school library. My job was main to sort the books returned by students. It took great effort to put the books in the place. I enjoyed my work because I could do when I really liked instead of play video games like other students in the dorm. Later without new technology introduced, the library equipped with electronic management systems. It made we work more efficiently than before. But not paid much, I could gain some work experiences before graduation.
