Up to one quarter of the world’s population use chopsticks as their main eating
tools. Called kuaizi in Chinese, chopsticks were developed in China about 5,000
years ago. Often made from wood, chopsticks allow users to pick up pieces of food
by clamping together and releasing* the sticks with the thumb and first three fingers.
Before the invention of chopsticks, the Chinese used only their hands to eat. One reason why
chopsticks were invented is that eating with one’s hands allowed some people to take more food than
others. This was considered rude, so using chopsticks, which limited* the amount of food that could
be taken at one time, was thought to be a more polite practice. Another one was about the great
Chinese thinker Confucius. He refused to use knives at the table, feeling that they reminded eaters of
the slaughterhouse*, so he preferred chopsticks.
At first, chopsticks were used only by nobles*. Later on, during the Western Han Dynasty,
commoners began to use chopsticks as well. But at that time, people used chopsticks only to eat side
dishes, because they liked spoons more than chopsticks. Then, during the Northern Song Dynasty,
noodles became a popular dish. It is very difficult to eat noodles with a spoon, so chopsticks were
accepted by more people and were used more often. Today, chopsticks are the main eating tools in
China, Japan and Vietnam, and people from countries all over the world commonly use these tools
while eating Asian food.
44. Which of the following can replace the word “clamping” in paragraph 1
A. moving B. holding C. waving D. carrying
45. What is the second paragraph mainly about
A. The steps of making chopsticks. B. The rapid changes of chopsticks.
C. The reasons for inventing chopsticks. D. The right way of using chopsticks.
46. From the passage, we can know that .
A. Chinese people use other eating tools before chopsticks were invented
B. Confucius refused to use knives because they were from western countries
C. common people could also use chopsticks before the Western Han Dynasty
D. eating with chopsticks became common after noodles became a popular dish
47. The main purpose of the passage is to .
A. ask us to use chopsticks more B. help us know more about chopsticks
C. show us when to use chopsticks D. tell us how to use chopsticks correctly
C
Artificial Intelligence (AI) products are not new. However, researchers
have been working to improve the technology. Now AI helpers, like Siri and
Alexa, can have short conversations with us. AlphaGo taught itself to play Go
and became better than the top human players.
Now an AI system has been tasked with passing a multiple-choice* exam. The goal is to improve
machines’ language understanding and logic with so-called computer vision*.
A system named Aristo was developed by the Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence, a lab in
the United States city of Seattle. It recently passed an eighth-grade science exam taken by many US
students. The New York Times reported. It correctly answered more than 90% of the questions. Then
it was given a twelfth-grade exam. It scored more than 80%.
It’s an example of the progress in AI development. Four years ago, 700 computer scientists tried
to develop AI systems that could pass these kinds of exams. None scored higher than 60%.
九年级英语第 5 页(共 8 页)
Aristo was able to pass the exams because it can not only understand language but also use
logical thinking to solve difficult problems. For example, it can understand what a forest fire is and
how it could endanger animals like squirrels or reduce the food supply they need.
The system used BERT, a kind of neural network technology developed by Google, to answer
the questions. BERT has “read” thousands of English articles. If it looks at a sentence with a missing
word, it can correctly guess what the word is. With BERT’s help, Aristo “read” many multiple-choice
questions and answers. Over time, it was able to find logical patterns* on its own.
“It may still be in the earliest stages,” said Jingjing Liu, a Microsoft researcher who has been working
on similar technologies. “We can’t compare this technology to real human students and their ability to reason.”
However, Aristo’s success means that AI systems are getting better at understanding users, and
we might see improved search engines and hospital databases* in the near future.
48. Why did scientists develop Aristo
A. To improve AI’s ability to teach itself.
B. To make better multiple-choice exams.
C. To shorten the time AI needs to “read” information.
D. To improve the language understanding and logic of AI.
49. What can we know about Aristo from its exam results
A. It was best at understanding English.
B. It was smarter than most American students.
C. It could only deal with science questions.
D. It did better than other AI systems in similar tasks.
50. What does the sixth paragraph talk about
A. How Aristo teaches itself. B. How Aristo reads English articles.
C. How Google developed BERT. D. How difficult it was to design Aristo.
51. What can we learn from Jingjing Liu’s words
A. AI will replace humans in many tasks.
B. Humans can’t live without AI in the future.
C. Aristo performs better with a larger database.
D. Aristo still cannot compare to human reasoning skills.

Ivan Dmitritch sat down on the sofa after dinner and began reading the
newspaper.
“I forgot to look at the newspaper today,” his wife said to him as she
cleared the table. “Look and check what the lottery* number is.”
“What is your ticket number ”
“Series 9,499, number 26.”
“All right … Let’s have a look … 9,499 and 26.”
Ivan Dmitritch had no faith in lottery luck and had no interest in looking at the winning numbers,
but now, as he had nothing else to do and as the newspaper was before his eyes, he checked the
numbers. And immediately, his eyes were caught by the number 9,499.
“Masha, 9,499 is there!” he said unbelievably.
His wife looked at him and realized that he was not joking.
“9,499 ” she asked, turning pale and dropping the folded tablecloth on the table.
“Yes, yes… it really is!”
九年级英语第 6 页(共 8 页)
“And the number of the ticket ”
“Oh, yes! There’s the number of the ticket too. But stay…wait! It’s our series,” said Ivan
Dmitritch, “So, there is a possibility that we have won. It’s only a possibility, but there it is!”
The husband and wife began laughing and looking at one another in silence. The possibility of
winning bewildered* them.
“If we have won …” Ivan Dmitritch said, and pictures started coming up in his imagination,
each more beautiful and better than the last one.
Then, Ivan Dmitritch stopped daydreaming and looked at his wife. “I should go abroad, you
know, Masha,” he said. And he began thinking how nice it would be in late autumn to go abroad
somewhere to the South of France … to Italy … to India!
“I should certainly go abroad too,” his wife said. “But check the number of the ticket!”
“Wait, wait!” He walked about the room and went on thinking. He thought to himself “What if
she really did go abroad with me What is the use of her going abroad What does she want there
She would shut herself up in the hotel, and not let me out of her sight… I know!”
For the first time in his life, he looked at his wife, not with a smile now, but with hate. She
glanced at him too, and also with hate and anger. She had her own daydreams, her own plans, her
own ideas. She knew what her husband’s dreams were.
Her husband understood her look. With anger in his mind, he looked quickly at the fourth page
on the newspaper and read out triumphantly* “Series 9,499, number 46! Not 26!”
52. Ivan Dmitritch checked the lottery number for his wife because he was .
A. curious about the lottery and also wanted to know the number
B. interested in lottery and thought his wife would win the lottery
C. so afraid of his wife that he had no choice but to obey her order
D. reading the newspaper at that moment and had nothing else to do
53. In Ivan Dmitritch’s imagination we can know that .
A. he’d like to travel abroad with his wife B. he wants to use the lottery money alone
C. the lottery money won’t change his life D. the lottery money means nothing to him
54. At the end of the story, Ivan Dmitritch read the winning number out triumphantly to .
A. ask his wife to buy more lottery tickets B. share his happiness with his wife
C. break out all his wife’s daydreams D. tell his wife she didn’t win the lottery

W: I am Mary from Rome, Italy. Rome is a wonderful place for sightseeing and shopping. It
attracts millions of visitors each year. Whenever you come to Rome, you will find it lively and
crowded. It’s better to go around the city on foot, for the roads and streets are always crowded and
there are lots of jams. Italians like watching operas very much. We usually buy tickets a few months
earlier to get good seats to enjoy our favorite plays. However, we are very relaxed about the time. It
is common for us to arrive late for parties. So if you have a date with an Italian, don’t be mad when
he doesn’t arrive on time. Also, we don’t invite friends on Friday. In our culture, it is an unlucky
day. For most visitors, spring or autumn might be the best season. It’s neither too hot nor too cold
then. But Italians like August best. It’s the hottest, of course. It’s also the most relaxing, for we can
enjoy our one-month holiday.
