Nicolas Maire is the model of a professional French chef with years of experience. To help perfect the flavors of the innovative foods. Mr. Maire has a new assistant chef in the form of Sum, an artificial intelligence robot.
Along with a team of flavorists, Sam helps blend a huge group of flavors for clients. In humans the sense of taste stems from multiple receptors (感受器) that are ready to make our brains aware of the nature of any possible food we encounter. Sam lacks this sense of taste, but it has been trained on a databose of ingredients gathered over 60 years at the company of Firmenich, a business with a perfume industry origin stretching back to 1895. Using a technique called machine learning, it has raced through examples of flavor combinations and has learnt its own definitions, maturing over 18 months into today’s AI robot.
Eric Saracchi runs the digital side of Firmenich. “Flavors are more complex than perfumes,” he says, “and Sam had to understand what a strawberry is or how roasted beef hits the tongue, before finding matches between tastes and foodstuffs.”
One big advantage of an AI robot is that it has no cognitive bias (认知偏见). This lack of human prejudices helps Firmenich to get past any unconscious leaning of the flavorists. The objectivity of Sam, lacking influences that can affect even the most professional of flavorists, allows it to work at speed. “It adds value by combining the knowledge of all the other flavorists here,” says Saracchi.
The machine rapidly gives an indication of how a flavor can be created and how much of an ingredient should be included. And Sam can hold the line between Saracchi’s team of flavorists and public tastes, refereeing decisions when the flavorists’ view differs from that of a consumer group.
24. What does Sam do together with many flavorists
A. It helps activate humans’ tastes. B. It creates a database of ingredients.
C. It mixes a series of flavors for guests. D. It makes all kinds of foods very creative.
25. What is Saracchi’s attitude towards the AI robot Sam
A. Negative. B. Positive. C. Unknown. D. Doubtful.
26. Where can you find the outstanding feature of an AI chef
A. In Paragraph 1. B. In Paragraph 2.
C. In Paragraph 3. D. In Paragraph 4.
27. What is the best title for the text
A. Why Chefs Are Turning to AI
B. Sam, the First AI Chef in the World
C. How Do French Chefs Choose AI Assistants
D. Nicolas Maire Owns Some AI Assistant Chefs
C
In the American colonies (殖民地) there was little money. England did not supply the colonies with coins and it did not allow the colonies to make their own coins. Only the Massachusetts Bay Colony received permission for a short period in 1652 to make several kinds of silver coins. England wanted to keep money out of America as a means of controlling trade； America was forced to trade only with England as it did not have the money to buy products from other countries. The result during the pre-revolutionary period was that the colonists used various goods in place of money: beaver furs, Indian wampum, and tobacco leaves were all commonly used as substitutes for money. The colonists also made use of any foreign coins they could obtain. Dutch, Spanish, French, and English coins were all in use in the American colonies.
Individual states and the Continental Congress issued paper money. So much of this paper money was printed that by the end of the Revolutionary War it was actually worthless. As a result, trade-in goods and the use of foreign coins were still common during this period.
By the time the Revolutionary War had been won by the American colonists, the monetary (货币的) system was in a state of total confusion. To change this situation, the new Constitution of the United States, approved in 1789, allowed only Congress to issue money. The individual states could no longer have their own money supply. A few years later, the Coinage Act of 1792 made the dollar the official currency of the United States and put the country on a bimetallic (双金属的) standard. In this bimetallic system, both gold and silver were legal money, and the rate of exchange of silver to gold was fixed by the government at sixteen to one.
28. The reason why England kept money out of America was that ______.
A. America had to trade only with England
B. American colonies could have their own coins
C. the colonists wanted to save the money for their own country
D. too much paper money in use would lead to the decrease of value
29. What happened to the American monetary system by the end of the Revolutionary War
A. Individual states were forced to use paper money in trade.
B. The Continental Congress issued gold and silver coins.
C. So much paper money was in use that it almost lost its value at last.
D. American money replaced trade-in goods and foreign coins.
30. According to the passage, under the new US Constitution ______.
A. the dollar was made the official currency of the US
B. only the US Congress could issue money
C. the US officially went on a bimetallic monetary system
D. various state governments, including Massachusetts, could issue money
31. This passage mainly discusses ______.
A. American money from past to present
B. the English monetary policies in American colonies
C. the effect of the Revolutionary War on American money
D. the American monetary system during the 17th and 18th centuries
D
Discoveries at the famous Sanxingdui ruins in Southwest China show that the region’s ancient Shu Kingdom Civilization shared similarities with the Maya.
The Sanxingdui ruins belonged to the Shu Kingdom that existed at least 4,800 years ago and lasted more than 2,000 years, while the Mayan civilization built its city-states around 200 AD.
The bronze—made remains of trees unearthed at the ruins of the Shu Kingdom resemble the sacred ceiba tree, which symbolized the union of heaven, earth and the underworld in the Mayan civilization. “They are very important similarties,” says Marco Santos, a Mexican archaeologist stressing that “the representations of tress in both cultures provide a symbolism that is very similar.”
The findings at the Sanxingdui ruins, considered one of the greatest archaeological discoveries of the 20th century, also show a new aspect of Bronze Age culture, indicating the ancient civilization already had technologies that were thought to have been developed much later.
While the time span between the Shu kingdom and the Mayan culture is great, the findings highlight the closeness between the two civilizations. They developed in areas with comparable climates and reflected their worldview through related symbols. “In the end, man is still man, independent of time and space. What we have is that, at this latitude (纬度), both the Shu people and the Mayans looked at the same sky and had the same stars on the horizon,” the expert says.
One notable feature of the recent discoveries at Sanxingdui was the cross-subject work and technology applied by teams of Chinese archaeologists, which allowed the unearthing of artifacts as fragile as silk remains, which other types of less careful excavation methods would not have been able to register.
Cooperation between Chinese and Mexican archaeologists could benefit projects in the Mayan world, where the rainy climate and humidity are problematic for the conservation of ruins.
“Every time our cultural knowledge increases, regardless of whether we speak one language or another, what it shows us is that we continue to be sister cultures and, therefore, the exchange of such knowledge is fundamental.” says Santos.
32. What is a similarity between the Shu Kingdom and Mayan civilization
A. Their starting time. B. Their cultural symbols.
C. Their historical origins. D. Their ceremony traditions.
33. What does the underlined word “excavation” in Paragraph 6 mean
A. Digging. B. Sympathy. C. Platform. D. Boundary.
34. What is a common challenge for the conservation of both ruins
A. Language barriers. B. Positioning of ruins.
C. High latitude. D. Damp weather.
35. What is the focus of Santos quote in the last paragraph
A. The future of the China-Mexico cooperation.
B. The benefits of speaking a different language.
C. The importance of the exchange of cultural knowledge.
D. The increasing sisterhood in culture between China and Mexico.

People take up volunteering for different reasons. 36 , while others want to meet new people or learn new skills. Whatever the reason, you need to make some decisions.
Choose a charity or organization
Firstly, what sort of organization do you want to help. 37 . And perhaps you have been affected by some of the problems that a charity aims to support, like children who need help. Many local schools rely on volunteers who come in regularly to read with the children or help with their math.
Decide on the kind of work
38 , you then have to decide what sort of volunteer work you want to do. Think about your existing skills: Do you prefer hands—on work Are you good at dealing with people Do you have a background in paperwork Charities need volunteers to work in shops, organize or manage money-raising events, or, in the case of animal charities, walk dogs.
39
Be prepared with information about your previous (or current) employment and the sort of skills you have, so that the charity can match you to the most appropriate role. You might think that you have no such skills. Don’t let your lack of confidence stop you. Ask your friends and loved ones what they think you have to offer.
Call for some relevant information
Most charities have a website with a section aimed at attracting potential volunteers and they advertise specific roles available. But smaller charities might not have money to do this. In this case, you would usually need to phone or visit their offices to find out how you can help. 40 .
A. Apply for suitable positions B. Decide on your interest C. Some people want to “give something back” D. You will be welcomed with open arms E. You might have a particular charity in mind F. Without them, they wouldn’t carry out their work G. Once you have decided where you want to volunteer

M: Oh, hi, Rose. I just got out of the hospital this morning. I feel a little better now. But I still can’t move my left leg very smoothly.
W: Oh, you were really badly hurt. So you won’t be back to work next week, will you
M: No, the doctor said I had to stay in bed for another month.
W: For another month I think your boss will go crazy. By the way, how is Molly now
M: She was much luckier than me. She just hurt her arm, but not seriously. She has recovered now. Hey, so what did you think of the photos
W: Oh, they’re wonderful. I didn’t realize we’d taken so many pictures.
M: What about the one taken at sunrise from the top of the mountain
W: Oh, that was the best one, I thought, very beautiful.
M: Yes. It was lucky the accident didn’t happen until the end of the holiday.
W: That’s true. I think we had a great time overall. I want to go to the seaside or the woods next year. Shall we go together
M: Good idea. But next time, we’d better be more careful.

M: People in modern times are much luckier than before. Do you think so
W: Absolutely. Especially when we compare the technology before with the modern technology in our life now.
M: Does your mother use a washing machine or other machines to do her chores
W: Yes, she does. She uses machines to do almost all of our household chores. She never has a maid.
M: Hon, technology is really helpful, but do you think that robots will replace humans or cause unemployment in the future
W: Well, it is hard to tell. In some cases, robots will take over jobs that are dangerous for human workers.
M: What about teaching machines or machine teachers
W: Machine teachers will be truly useful, but I still guess the role of real teachers is very much needed. As a machine is only a piece of equipment, it has no personal approach in teaching and cannot precisely teach students.
M: I can’t agree more. It is generally believed that teaching is as much an art as it is a science.

The toy mystery boxes have attracted many people’s attention. What is a toy mystery box It is just a box which contains all kinds of collectible toys. The most special part of the box lies in its packaging which doesn’t allow buyers to see what’s inside. What buyers can get depends on their luck. Therefore, out of curiosity, many people spend lots of money on toy mystery boxes, hoping that they can complete the whole set of the toys.
Recently, a travel booking platform in China has launched the air ticket mystery box. People can book air ticket with 98 yuan on a travel booking platform, which can take buyers to an unknown destination on an uncertain day. As we all know, air tickets usually are not cheap. Therefore the low price indeed attracts millions of people to try. Some people think it’s worth buying a novelty with less than a hundred yuan, but other people point that it makes people spend more money because the return ticket is still expensive and they have to pay actual expenses such as the hotel, food and so on. And the uncertain route and date also bother people who have to work on weekdays. As far as I am concerned, people should treat it more reasonably.

Nicolas Maire is the model of a professional French chef with years of experience. To help perfect the flavors of the innovative foods. Mr. Maire has a new assistant chef in the form of Sum, an artificial intelligence robot.
Along with a team of flavorists, Sam helps blend a huge group of flavors for clients. In humans the sense of taste stems from multiple receptors (感受器) that are ready to make our brains aware of the nature of any possible food we encounter. Sam lacks this sense of taste, but it has been trained on a databose of ingredients gathered over 60 years at the company of Firmenich, a business with a perfume industry origin stretching back to 1895. Using a technique called machine learning, it has raced through examples of flavor combinations and has learnt its own definitions, maturing over 18 months into today’s AI robot.
Eric Saracchi runs the digital side of Firmenich. “Flavors are more complex than perfumes,” he says, “and Sam had to understand what a strawberry is or how roasted beef hits the tongue, before finding matches between tastes and foodstuffs.”
One big advantage of an AI robot is that it has no cognitive bias (认知偏见). This lack of human prejudices helps Firmenich to get past any unconscious leaning of the flavorists. The objectivity of Sam, lacking influences that can affect even the most professional of flavorists, allows it to work at speed. “It adds value by combining the knowledge of all the other flavorists here,” says Saracchi.
The machine rapidly gives an indication of how a flavor can be created and how much of an ingredient should be included. And Sam can hold the line between Saracchi’s team of flavorists and public tastes, refereeing decisions when the flavorists’ view differs from that of a consumer group.
24. What does Sam do together with many flavorists
A. It helps activate humans’ tastes. B. It creates a database of ingredients.
C. It mixes a series of flavors for guests. D. It makes all kinds of foods very creative.
25. What is Saracchi’s attitude towards the AI robot Sam
A. Negative. B. Positive. C. Unknown. D. Doubtful.
26. Where can you find the outstanding feature of an AI chef
A. In Paragraph 1. B. In Paragraph 2.
C. In Paragraph 3. D. In Paragraph 4.
27. What is the best title for the text
A. Why Chefs Are Turning to AI
B. Sam, the First AI Chef in the World
C. How Do French Chefs Choose AI Assistants
D. Nicolas Maire Owns Some AI Assistant Chefs
C
In the American colonies (殖民地) there was little money. England did not supply the colonies with coins and it did not allow the colonies to make their own coins. Only the Massachusetts Bay Colony received permission for a short period in 1652 to make several kinds of silver coins. England wanted to keep money out of America as a means of controlling trade； America was forced to trade only with England as it did not have the money to buy products from other countries. The result during the pre-revolutionary period was that the colonists used various goods in place of money: beaver furs, Indian wampum, and tobacco leaves were all commonly used as substitutes for money. The colonists also made use of any foreign coins they could obtain. Dutch, Spanish, French, and English coins were all in use in the American colonies.
Individual states and the Continental Congress issued paper money. So much of this paper money was printed that by the end of the Revolutionary War it was actually worthless. As a result, trade-in goods and the use of foreign coins were still common during this period.
By the time the Revolutionary War had been won by the American colonists, the monetary (货币的) system was in a state of total confusion. To change this situation, the new Constitution of the United States, approved in 1789, allowed only Congress to issue money. The individual states could no longer have their own money supply. A few years later, the Coinage Act of 1792 made the dollar the official currency of the United States and put the country on a bimetallic (双金属的) standard. In this bimetallic system, both gold and silver were legal money, and the rate of exchange of silver to gold was fixed by the government at sixteen to one.
28. The reason why England kept money out of America was that ______.
A. America had to trade only with England
B. American colonies could have their own coins
C. the colonists wanted to save the money for their own country
D. too much paper money in use would lead to the decrease of value
29. What happened to the American monetary system by the end of the Revolutionary War
A. Individual states were forced to use paper money in trade.
B. The Continental Congress issued gold and silver coins.
C. So much paper money was in use that it almost lost its value at last.
D. American money replaced trade-in goods and foreign coins.
30. According to the passage, under the new US Constitution ______.
A. the dollar was made the official currency of the US
B. only the US Congress could issue money
C. the US officially went on a bimetallic monetary system
D. various state governments, including Massachusetts, could issue money
31. This passage mainly discusses ______.
A. American money from past to present
B. the English monetary policies in American colonies
C. the effect of the Revolutionary War on American money
D. the American monetary system during the 17th and 18th centuries
D
Discoveries at the famous Sanxingdui ruins in Southwest China show that the region’s ancient Shu Kingdom Civilization shared similarities with the Maya.
The Sanxingdui ruins belonged to the Shu Kingdom that existed at least 4,800 years ago and lasted more than 2,000 years, while the Mayan civilization built its city-states around 200 AD.
The bronze—made remains of trees unearthed at the ruins of the Shu Kingdom resemble the sacred ceiba tree, which symbolized the union of heaven, earth and the underworld in the Mayan civilization. “They are very important similarties,” says Marco Santos, a Mexican archaeologist stressing that “the representations of tress in both cultures provide a symbolism that is very similar.”
The findings at the Sanxingdui ruins, considered one of the greatest archaeological discoveries of the 20th century, also show a new aspect of Bronze Age culture, indicating the ancient civilization already had technologies that were thought to have been developed much later.
While the time span between the Shu kingdom and the Mayan culture is great, the findings highlight the closeness between the two civilizations. They developed in areas with comparable climates and reflected their worldview through related symbols. “In the end, man is still man, independent of time and space. What we have is that, at this latitude (纬度), both the Shu people and the Mayans looked at the same sky and had the same stars on the horizon,” the expert says.
One notable feature of the recent discoveries at Sanxingdui was the cross-subject work and technology applied by teams of Chinese archaeologists, which allowed the unearthing of artifacts as fragile as silk remains, which other types of less careful excavation methods would not have been able to register.
Cooperation between Chinese and Mexican archaeologists could benefit projects in the Mayan world, where the rainy climate and humidity are problematic for the conservation of ruins.
“Every time our cultural knowledge increases, regardless of whether we speak one language or another, what it shows us is that we continue to be sister cultures and, therefore, the exchange of such knowledge is fundamental.” says Santos.
32. What is a similarity between the Shu Kingdom and Mayan civilization
A. Their starting time. B. Their cultural symbols.
C. Their historical origins. D. Their ceremony traditions.
33. What does the underlined word “excavation” in Paragraph 6 mean
A. Digging. B. Sympathy. C. Platform. D. Boundary.
34. What is a common challenge for the conservation of both ruins
A. Language barriers. B. Positioning of ruins.
C. High latitude. D. Damp weather.
35. What is the focus of Santos quote in the last paragraph
A. The future of the China-Mexico cooperation.
B. The benefits of speaking a different language.
C. The importance of the exchange of cultural knowledge.
D. The increasing sisterhood in culture between China and Mexico.

People take up volunteering for different reasons. 36 , while others want to meet new people or learn new skills. Whatever the reason, you need to make some decisions.
Choose a charity or organization
Firstly, what sort of organization do you want to help. 37 . And perhaps you have been affected by some of the problems that a charity aims to support, like children who need help. Many local schools rely on volunteers who come in regularly to read with the children or help with their math.
Decide on the kind of work
38 , you then have to decide what sort of volunteer work you want to do. Think about your existing skills: Do you prefer hands—on work Are you good at dealing with people Do you have a background in paperwork Charities need volunteers to work in shops, organize or manage money-raising events, or, in the case of animal charities, walk dogs.
39
Be prepared with information about your previous (or current) employment and the sort of skills you have, so that the charity can match you to the most appropriate role. You might think that you have no such skills. Don’t let your lack of confidence stop you. Ask your friends and loved ones what they think you have to offer.
Call for some relevant information
Most charities have a website with a section aimed at attracting potential volunteers and they advertise specific roles available. But smaller charities might not have money to do this. In this case, you would usually need to phone or visit their offices to find out how you can help. 40 .
A. Apply for suitable positions B. Decide on your interest C. Some people want to “give something back” D. You will be welcomed with open arms E. You might have a particular charity in mind F. Without them, they wouldn’t carry out their work G. Once you have decided where you want to volunteer

M: Hi, Laura! What a surprise! Won’t you come in
W: Hi, Eric! And hello to you too, Mittens! Oh! Mittens is getting thin, isn’t she
M: Yes, I’m afraid so. She just isn’t eating like she used to.
W: What are you feeding her
M: Oh, you know, whatever eat food is on sale
W: You should try Meow Chow. It’s a little more expensive than the other brands, but cats love it because it tastes great!
M: OK, Laura. I’ll give it a try!

W: Hey, John. Can I talk to you for a minute
M: Sure. What’s up
W: I wanted to let you know about a book club I joined two months ago. I know you do a lot of reading, so I thought you might want to come with me next month.
M: Oh, that sounds like fun. When does the group meet
W: Usually the last Saturday of the month at 9:30 a. m. Every month, we choose a new book. And then during the next meeting, we discuss it.
M: What book are you reading now
W: The Kite Runner.
M: What’s it about
W: It’s about a boy who grows up in Afghanistan during the 1970s. It’s called The Kite Runner because the main character takes part in a kite—flying competition. It’s really a good book. I’m almost finished.
M: Sounds interesting. I’d love to come.
W: OK, great. The next meeting is in another two weeks, so you still have time to read the book.

W: Hi. Bruce. Are you feeling better today
M: Oh, hi, Rose. I just got out of the hospital this morning. I feel a little better now. But I still can’t move my left leg very smoothly.
W: Oh, you were really badly hurt. So you won’t be back to work next week, will you
M: No, the doctor said I had to stay in bed for another month.
W: For another month I think your boss will go crazy. By the way, how is Molly now
M: She was much luckier than me. She just hurt her arm, but not seriously. She has recovered now. Hey, so what did you think of the photos
W: Oh, they’re wonderful. I didn’t realize we’d taken so many pictures.
M: What about the one taken at sunrise from the top of the mountain
W: Oh, that was the best one, I thought, very beautiful.
M: Yes. It was lucky the accident didn’t happen until the end of the holiday.
W: That’s true. I think we had a great time overall. I want to go to the seaside or the woods next year. Shall we go together
M: Good idea. But next time, we’d better be more careful.

M: People in modern times are much luckier than before. Do you think so
W: Absolutely. Especially when we compare the technology before with the modern technology in our life now.
M: Does your mother use a washing machine or other machines to do her chores
W: Yes, she does. She uses machines to do almost all of our household chores. She never has a maid.
M: Hon, technology is really helpful, but do you think that robots will replace humans or cause unemployment in the future
W: Well, it is hard to tell. In some cases, robots will take over jobs that are dangerous for human workers.
M: What about teaching machines or machine teachers
W: Machine teachers will be truly useful, but I still guess the role of real teachers is very much needed. As a machine is only a piece of equipment, it has no personal approach in teaching and cannot precisely teach students.
M: I can’t agree more. It is generally believed that teaching is as much an art as it is a science.

The toy mystery boxes have attracted many people’s attention. What is a toy mystery box It is just a box which contains all kinds of collectible toys. The most special part of the box lies in its packaging which doesn’t allow buyers to see what’s inside. What buyers can get depends on their luck. Therefore, out of curiosity, many people spend lots of money on toy mystery boxes, hoping that they can complete the whole set of the toys.
Recently, a travel booking platform in China has launched the air ticket mystery box. People can book air ticket with 98 yuan on a travel booking platform, which can take buyers to an unknown destination on an uncertain day. As we all know, air tickets usually are not cheap. Therefore the low price indeed attracts millions of people to try. Some people think it’s worth buying a novelty with less than a hundred yuan, but other people point that it makes people spend more money because the return ticket is still expensive and they have to pay actual expenses such as the hotel, food and so on. And the uncertain route and date also bother people who have to work on weekdays. As far as I am concerned, people should treat it more reasonably.
