Losing a parent is one of the most painful parts of life.No matter how old we are when they leave us,it can be a painful experience.Our memories are all that is left of them and happy reminders of their love turn into our most valuable treasures.
That’s how Mara Soriano feels about a very special teddy she lost in her recent move to a new apartment.
The toy bear didn’t cost a lot,but it contained a recording of her late mother’s voice telling her that she loved her and was proud of her.The bear,called “Mama Bear”,was in a backpack that contained electronics like an iPad and a Nintendo Switch.When the bag was missing last week during the move,the 28-year-old was heartbroken—not for the electronics,but for “Mama Bear”.
So she posted online the lost item and the story behind it.Luckily,Mara’s search soon became a hit.Meanwhile,Mara was out searching.She put up posters,dug through dustbins,and communicated with others online,following up any lead she could find.
Actor Ryan Reynolds posted an appeal for its safe return.“I think we all need this bear to come home,” he wrote.Along with the message,he also set a price of $ 5,000 for the return.
Then on Tuesday night,Mara’s special bear came home.It’s a bit of a modern-day wonder that would never have happened without social media.Mara said she got an email from someone who told her they had the bear.
Mara is getting married next summer and the bear is going to have a special seat at the ceremony—the one her mother would sit in.For now,she’s keeping “Mama Bear” close and sending thanks to those who helped with the happy reunion.

主题语境:人与社会　语篇类型:说明文
A computer program has been used to predict how people are feeling when they type.
In a study participants were asked to type a particular phrase and the program then estimated if they were happy,sad and so on.Surprisingly it was correct 70 percent of the time,and the findings could lead to smarter artificial intelligence in the future.
The study published in the journal Behavior and Information Technology was carried out by researchers in a university in Bangladesh,reports Live Science.
In the research 25 people ranging from 15 to 40 years old were asked to retype two paragraphs from Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland written by Lewis Carroll.They also had to enter their emotional states every 30 minutes while doing their regular activities on the computer.This allowed the program an opportunity to understand how their emotions changed their typing style.
Moods tested were joy,fear,anger,sadness,hate and shame.The result was that the program could identify (识别) a person’s mood correctly 70 percent of the time.It was most successful in identifying joyfulness with an 87 percent success ratio,while sadness was the least successful at 60 percent.The researchers found that the participants were less likely to input data when they were in a bad mood,which may explain the inexactness of the second result.
However,the findings could be of great importance to artificial intelligence,and it may allow computers to get along with us in a friendlier manner.“If we could build any system that is intelligent enough to communicate with humans—that is,it can identify users’ emotions and change its behavior accordingly—then using machines could be more effective and friendly,” the researchers wrote.
8.Who conducted the study
A.Lewis Carroll.
B.Researchers in a university in Bangladesh.
C.Live Science.
D.Behavior and Information Technology.
9.What were participants asked to do during the research
A.Input words and emotional states.
B.Change their typing styles.
C.Change their feelings frequently.
D.Show their natural feelings.
10.Why is the result about sadness not so correct
A.Because people usually hide their unhappy feelings.
B.Because the program cannot recognize sadness clearly.
C.Because the program cannot calculate the data correctly.
D.Because it’s more difficult to collect data when people are sad.
11.What’s the importance of the research result
A.It helps people develop smarter machines.
B.It helps people speed up their typing speed.
C.It will inspire similar studies on people’s mood.
D.It clearly explains the relationship between moods and typing.
Ⅷ.七选五
主题语境:人与社会　语篇类型:说明文
Don’t brag (自夸),but be proud of what you’ve done.These two pieces of advice were tough to balance before the social media existed.　1　 We are unable to draw a line between the humble bragging and the straight-up bragging.But we certainly know that oversharing doesn’t do your friendship any favors.
Social media bring us convenience.　2　 Once upon a time,only your family and close friends would be there to see you eagerly open presents on your birthday party.Now the photos you take on your mobile phone will likely appear on your social media in a second.Maybe you just post it subconsciously.But your sharing behavior could easily be considered annoying or even narcissistic(自恋的).
　3　 Maybe we should all ask ourselves the question before hitting the share button.Our personal fame grows alongside our social media presence,so does the number of people we could potentially impress or bother.
According to therapist Jessica Michaels,providing “emotional context” may help prevent what might be seen as the bragging.Think about how you say something,not just what you say.Frame it in a way that makes it more of a sharing idea.For example,if you plan a party for your birthday,you could post “Hey,friends of mine!Let’s plan this together.Maybe we could all go” instead of saying “Oh I can’t wait to enjoy my party”.　4　
Remember,the original intention behind social media is a connector,and your true best friends definitely do want to know when things are becoming good for you.Next time when you post a photo of your fantastic winter vacation,for example,make sure to tag your friends.　5　
A little bit of social media love goes a long way!
A.To post or not to post
B.Will it make me a celebrity
C.Tell them you wish they were by your side.
D.They are the most important friends in our life.
E.Meanwhile,they can put us in danger of oversharing.
F.It makes a big difference how you express your ideas.
G.Even today’s share-it social media haven’t made it any easier.

Ⅶ.【语篇导读】本文是一篇应用文。受疫情的影响,一些从投票中获胜的儿童博物馆不得不关上大门。但是,它们将馆中的一些项目放到了网上。本文介绍了这些博物馆的网上项目内容。
1.A　细节理解题。根据第一段第二句“Shortly after announcing the winners,these museums had to close their doors to help protect their communities from the spread of a pandemic.”可知,在宣布获胜者后不久,这些博物馆不得不关门,以帮助保护其社区免受疾病传染;据此可知,关门是为了防止疾病的传染,故A项正确。
2.C　细节理解题。根据City Museum部分中的“This series takes place each weekday with an eclectic lineup of programming”可知,城市博物馆的网上项目在工作日开放,故C项正确。
3.A　细节理解题。根据The Magic House部分中的“Each edition features a project that kids and their parents can do with household materials,like making a banjo or animal figures.”可知,在魔术屋,孩子们和他们的父母可以用家庭材料来制作班卓琴或动物模型。根据Kohl Children’s Museum部分尾句“Kids can learn how to fold paper airplanes,learn about the physics of wheels or make their own recycled paper.”可知,在科尔儿童博物馆,孩子们可以学习如何折纸飞机,学习轮子的物理原理,或者自己制作再生纸。据此可知,魔术屋和科尔儿童博物馆的共同特点是强调实践经验,故A项正确。
【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。Mara在搬家时不慎遗失了自己的“妈妈熊”,这是一个珍贵的含有已故母亲录音的泰迪熊玩偶。幸好,经过Mara自己不懈的寻找,以及在热心网友的帮助下,Mara的“妈妈熊”最终回到了家。
4.A　细节理解题。根据第三段第二句“The bear,called ‘Mama Bear’,was in a backpack that contained electronics like an iPad and a Nintendo Switch.”可知,A项正确。
5.D　细节理解题。根据第三段第一句可知,这个玩具熊虽然不贵,但是它含有已故母亲的录音,母亲告诉Mara,她爱她并为她感到骄傲,故选D项。
6.D　细节理解题。根据第五段可知,演员Ryan Reynolds呼吁让“妈妈熊”安全回家,并设定了5 000美元作为回报,故选D项。
7.B　细节理解题。根据最后一段第一句中的“the bear is going to have a special seat at the ceremony—the one her mother would sit in”可知,B项正确。
【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一个可用于预测计算机使用者情绪的新程序,此项研究成果有助于对未来更智能的人工智能的研究。
8.B　细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的“The study...was carried out by researchers in a university in Bangladesh.”可知,这个研究是由孟加拉国一所大学的研究人员进行的,故选B项。

Ⅷ.【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。我们不应该自夸,但是当自己取得了成绩时也应该引以为豪。在社交媒体出现以前,这两者的关系就很难平衡。在社交媒体普及的今天,这一问题也依旧很难解决。但是有一点是明确的:过度分享有时会影响我们的友谊。那么我们究竟应该怎么做呢 本文给出了一些实用的建议。
1.G　空前一句提及,在社交媒体出现以前,自夸与自豪之间就很难达到平衡。因此空处与之相呼应,指出在社交媒体普及的今天,这个问题也难以被解决。
2.E　空前一句提及“社交媒体给我们带来便利”,而本段中所给出的事例是为了说明在社交媒体普及的今天,有时你的分享会产生负面效应。因此判断空处的含义应该是“同时在社交媒体上过度分享会造成负面影响”。
3.A　根据空处所在的位置可推知本句是中心句,由空后的“the question”可将范围缩小至A项和B项;空后一句中的“hitting the share button”与A项中的post含义相呼应。
4.F　根据段首句可知,本段主要阐述了在社交媒体上分享信息时应如何避免造成炫耀之感。空前一句中的事例提及你可以这样分享信息“嘿,朋友们,我们一起来计划一下吧!大家都参加吧”,而不是“我已经迫不及待地去参加派对了”。这两种方式会产生不同的效果,与F项中的“makes a big difference”相呼应。
5.C　此空为段尾句,是对上文内容的补充和阐述。本段主要说明了在社交媒体上分享信息的主要目的是与朋友保持联系。空前一句提及“下一次,比如当你想要分享你美好的寒假照片时,一定要记得标记上你的朋友”,此处应接着说其他的做法,且C项中的“them”指空前的“your friends”。
Ⅸ.【语篇导读】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章通过一则网上热传的毕业视频引出话题,印证了鼓励对于人生的重要意义。
1.C　根据上文的“A video of a tearful young man bursting with joy,pride and gratitude...”可知,Dontrail Spencer拿着毕业证的场景被拍成了(filmed)视频。
2.A　根据下文的“They had been encouraging him...”可知,他的老师和家人一直在鼓励他。他们是曾经帮助过(helped) Dontrail Spencer的人。
3.C　根据上文的“push through”可知,此处指努力度过艰难的(tough)时期。
4.D　根据上文可知,正是由于老师和家人的鼓励,Dontrail Spencer才度过了艰难的时期。这说明没有鼓励,我们谁也无法度过(get through)一生。
5.D　他们的支持(support)使我们继续前进并相信自己。
6.A　由上文语境可知,有了他人的鼓励与支持,人就会有勇气(courage)去做一些重要的事情。
7.B　根据下文语境可知,作者收到了一封来自她帮助过的女士的感谢邮件,作者受到了鼓励;这说明像作者这样的志愿者也需要(need)鼓励的话语。
8.A　当社区志愿者的作者并不记得(remember)见过格蕾丝。
9.D　根据下文的“an email from her”和“Every time I read her email”可知,作者收到了(received)格蕾丝的电子邮件。
10.B　根据上文语境可知,作者在大流行病期间做社区志愿者时遇到了病患格蕾丝,所以此处指二人建立(building)关系。
11.C　根据上文的“I enjoy your Wednesday chorus”和上文语境可知,格蕾丝写感谢邮件,说喜欢作者星期三的合唱,是发自内心地感谢作者帮助了她,真诚地(truly)觉得作者很鼓舞人心。
12.D　格蕾丝发自内心地感谢作者帮助了她,她很感激(grateful)能参与其中。
13.C　根据下文的“Grace was nearing the end of her life,but she took time to encourage me.”可知,格蕾丝是在生命即将结束时给作者写感谢邮件的。由此可知,几天后,格蕾丝去世了(passed away)。
14.A　根据上文的“she took time to encourage me”可知,格蕾丝花时间在邮件中鼓励作者,所以看到邮件,作者就会被格蕾丝的话所鼓励(inspired)。
15.A　全文都在讲鼓励的例子和作用,因此作者建议我们要慷慨地给予鼓励(encouragement)。
