Maya Ackerman just wanted to write a song. She tried for years — song after song. In the end, she didn’t like any of the tunes(曲调) she wrote. she says, “All the melodies (旋律) that came into my mind were so boring that I couldn’t imagine wasting time performing them.”
Maybe, she thought, a computer could puter programs are already useful for recording songs that people come up with. Ackerman now wondered if a computer could be more — a songwriting helper. It was a flash of inspiration. “I knew immediately that it would be possible for a machine to give me ideas,” she says. That inspiration led to the creation of ALYSIA, a songwriting program that uses algorithms (算法). When first-time songwriters type in lyrics, this computer program can produce new melodies, based on the lyrics.
As a computer scientist at Santa Clara University in California, Ackerman has a lot of experience using algorithms. These are step-by-step math ways to solve problems and make predictions(预测). Algorithms are useful in programming computers. They can also be useful for everyday tasks.
When a computer runs software, it’s completing tasks by following algorithms written as computer puter scientists like Ackerman analyze(分析), study and write algorithms to solve a series of problems. Some of them use algorithms in the field of a new technology, AI, which teaches computers to carry out tasks or activities that the human brain usually deals with.
Ackerman isn’t the only one using AI for songwriting. Some programs produce music for many instruments. AI is also finding its way into other arts. Painters, dancers and photographers have found new ways to make use of AI algorithms. Ahmed Elgammal runs a computer-science lab that focuses on using AI to influence art. “AI is a creative tool that will be accepted as an art form,” he says. “It will influence the way art is made, and what art will be.”
24. What did Maya Ackerman think of the song she wrote
A. Surprising. B. Satisfactory.
C. Disappointing. D. Wonderful.
25. How can ALYSIA turn out good melodies
A. By copying other songs.
B. By attracting helpers online.
C. By giving songwriters inspiration.
D. By using algorithms according to the lyrics.
26. What’s the use of AI according to the text
A. Making people write better algorithms.
B. Doing things that people often do.
C. Letting computers follow algorithms.
D. Inventing all kinds of creative tools.
27. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A. AI has been used mainly in singing.
B. AI can take the place of instruments.
C. Ahmed Elgammal is a famous artist.
D. Ahmed Elgammal thinks highly of AI.
C ★★★
How lonely are you Sometimes living alone or being in a faraway area with nobody around to talk to can make you feel lonely. It’s not a great feeling, but research has found that loneliness is something that can influence us all, whatever our age is.
There’s a familiar phrase that says it’s possible to be lonely in a crowd—although hundreds of people are beside you, you think you have nobody to talk to or to connect with. It’s probably not true, but loneliness is seen as a big problem for the mental health of the population wherever they live—so much so that the British government even has a minister(部长) for loneliness.
The BBC recently completed a survey about the topic and it found that people aged between 16 and 24 experienced loneliness more often and more strongly than any other age group. Researchers from the University of Manchester, who studied the data, suggested that feeling lonely may plague the young because it’s a time of figuring out your place in the world and of learning to deal with feelings. More and more young people are suffering from mental problems. One of the leading problems is that they do not communicate properly with others.
The problem is now being talked about more. And in the UK, the minister for Loneliness Tracey Crouch said that “the government now considers loneliness as one of the biggest health challenges we face.” She also said there needs to be a “national conversation” to end the dishonour about admitting to feeling lonely.
The BBC Loneliness Experiment also found that the type of culture you live in has connections with loneliness. People from cultures such as Northern Europe and the US, revealed they would be less likely to tell a workmate about their loneliness. But in cultures such as in Asia and Africa, older women in particular were at a lower risk of feeling lonely.
28. Why does the author mention the British minister for loneliness
A. To show loneliness is useless.
B. To show loneliness is predictable.
C. To show loneliness is hard to treat.
D. To show loneliness is harmful and common.
29. What can we know about loneliness according to the survey by the BBC
A. The older one is, the less probably he feels lonely.
B. Teenagers are more likely to be lonely than any other age group.
C. Loneliness is connected with one’s age and the environment he’s in.
D. Lonely people are more likely to be mentally ill than social ones.
30. What does the underlined word “plague” in Paragraph 3 mean
A. Inspire. B. Trouble. C. Support. D. Challenge.
31. How should people deal with loneliness in Tracey Crouch’s opinion
A. By accepting the fact that they feel lonely.
B. By spending less time in staying by themself.
C. By realizing the trouble in dealing with loneliness.
D. By being with positive people as much as possible.
D ★★★★
There are more than 10 million people in the world who are unable to speak and they depend on computerized equipment to provide their voices. But because there are so few recorded voices for them, the same voice used by the physicist and writer Stephen Hawking is used by little children.
When speech scientist Rupal Patel was at a meeting and saw a young girl talking to a grown man and both were using the same computer voice, she knew something had to be done. So Patel worked to create custom (定制的) voices for custom people. To start the process, a voice donor (捐赠者) records a series of short stories and sentences. They don’t record every single word a person might say, but they typically cover all the different combinations of sounds that happen in language.
The process might take between five and seven hours, but it doesn’t have to be done all at once and it can be done in the donor’s home. The voice donor can start, stop and pick up whenever it’s convenient. They’re encouraged to record from the same place each time so the sound is continuous. Those recordings are then divided into little pieces of speech to be kept in a database (数据库). The person who will receive the voice also records a few special sounds. Patel’s team then searches the voice database for a perfect voice match. Finally, that donated voice is joined with the receiver’s sounds, which makes a custom voice.
So far, more than 14,000 speakers from 120 countries have contributed to what the company, VocaliD, calls “The Human Voicebank”. People who want to donate can record from anywhere they have a computer or phone, sharing their voice with anyone who needs it or even banking it for themselves. “English speakers from English-speaking countries share their voice as part of our Human Voicebank because they want to help bring speech to the speechless,” VocaliD spokesperson Elisabeth Nuboer said. “We have voice donors all over the world, ranging in age from 6 to 91 and welcome everyone and all your wonderful voice.”
32. How do the speechless people speak, according to the passage
A. They write their words on paper.
B. They use computerized equipment.
C. They depend on body language.
D. They type their words on phones.
33. What caused the problem that Rupal Patel discovered at a meeting
A. There were so few recorded voices.
B. No recorded voices were for children.
C. Recorded voices didn’t sound perfect.
D. Recorded voices were not easy to understand.
34. Why do the speechless ones who want to get the donated voice also need to record a few special sounds
A. Because they also need to make a contribution to the database.
B. Because their special sounds will be needed for the study in the future.
C. Because their throats need to be examined before using special equipment.
D. Because Patel’s team needs their special sounds to get a perfect voice match.
35. Which of the following can we infer from the last paragraph
A. English-speaking voice donors are more important than others.
B. English is the main language in VocaliD’s Human Voicebank.
C. Many people around the world are willing to help the speechless.
D. The donor whose age is below six will be refused by the company.

Recently some American scientists have given a useful piece of advice to people in industrialized nations. They say people should eat more of the same kind of food eaten by humans living more than 10, 000 years ago. (36)____ The scientists say that the human life has changed greatly. Our bodies have not been able to deal with these changes in lifestyle and this has led to new kinds of sicknesses. (37)____ So they are called “diseases of civilization（文明病）”. Many cancers and diseases of the blood system are examples of such diseases.

(38)____ However, a change in food is one of the main differences between life in ancient times and that of today.
Stone Age people killed wild animals for their meat, which had much less fat than farm animals. They ate a lot of fresh wild vegetables and fruits. They did not have milk or any other milk products, and they made very little use of corn. (39)____ We eat six times more salt than our ancestors. We eat more sugar. We eat twice as much fat but only one third as much protein and much less VC. (40)____ But scientists say that we would be much healthier if we ate much the same way as the ancient people did, cutting the amount of fatty, salty and sweet food.
A. Stone Age people lived a simple life.
B. But today, we enjoy eating a lot of these.
C. In that case, they would live much healthier.
D. Ancient people also got lots of physical exercise.
E. These new sicknesses were not known in ancient times.
F. People today probably don’t want to live like our ancestors.

In 1955, Ella Fitzgerald had a professional music career(生涯；事业) that lasted nearly twenty years. She was a talented Jazz musician, and yet she was hardly known to the general public because she was an African American doing amazing things at a time when racism(种族歧视) in the United States was still widespread.
So despite(尽管) her undoubted talent, it was very challenging for Ella to book shows at a concert hall that attracted mainly white audiences(观众). She didn’t let this stop her though, with all the difficulties against her, she set her sights on performing at Mocambo in Los Angeles, which was almost the most famous west coast jazz club at the time.
In the nature of things, the club owner, Charlie Morrison, turned Ella down, again and again. He tried to be kind, but he simply refused to run the risk of booking an African American performer. “Not only might I lose ticket sales for the night, but having you perform here could also be harmful for my club’s development in the long run,” he told her.
Still, Ella did not give up on her goal. She strongly believed performing at Mocambo could help her enter the mainstream(主流) music world. But she now realized she was going to need some help. So she picked up the telephone and came clean with her friend and fan, Marilyn Monroe, about her goal and setbacks. Marilyn was one of the most favorite white female film stars of the 1950’s.
Marilyn was shocked by what she heard about. As soon as she hung up on Ella, she picked the telephone back up and called Charlie over at Mocambo. She asked him to book Ella at once! But he refused again, and repeated his fearful reasons. So Marilyn sweetened the deal. “Charlie, if you make my friend Ella the leading performer at Mocambo for a full week, I will sit in the front row every single night Ella is there,” she said.
Para. 1: At this point Charlie had to consider the offer. ___________
_____________________________________

Dear Wangxue，
I’m glad to receive your letter. I am sorry to know that you are having trouble in life in senior high school. So I’d like to offer my guidance on your learning and living problems.
In your letter, you have mentioned that you have too much pressure to learn science subjects well. In my opinion, you may turn to your teachers for help and make some changes in your learning style. In that way, you can also get along well with your teachers, which plays an important role in your own study. Besides, you have suffered from loneliness because you have few friends. I think it is very normal when you just have spent two months in your new class. It would be a good idea if you can take an active part in school activities, where you can try your best to make more friends. By doing this, you will find there are many lovely friends around you.
I hope you will find my advice useful.
Yours,
Li Hua
67. 第二节 作文2
Para. 1: At this point Charlie had to consider the offer. He knew he would get a great amount of media attention if he announced that Marilyn Monroe was in the house every night for a full week. Marilyn said with certainty, “The reporters will go crazy over this!” Charlie decided to take the chance, so he agreed to make Ella the leading performer at Mocambo for a full week.
Para. 2: As promised, Marilyn sat front and center every night Ella performed. Despite all of the times’ widespread racism, the club was full of people each night. And the excited crowds of people that first rushed into the jazz club to see Marilyn were shocked to see an African American singer standing on the stage. But they quickly fell in love with Ella’s powerful performances and forgot the color of her skin. That one week of performing turned out to be a success and made Ella widely known in Hollywood as a music star. It was all thanks to her strong will, her talent, and some loving help from a friend and fan named Marilyn Monroe.
【解析】

【文章大意】说明文。算法在计算机编程中很有用处，Maya Ackerman正在利用计算机改变歌曲的制作方式。
24. C。推理判断题。根据第一段可知，Maya Ackerman不过是想写首歌。她尝试了很多年，一首接一首地试。结果到头来，她不喜欢自己写的任何曲子。她说：“所有进入我脑海的旋律都很无聊，我无法想象要浪费时间去演奏它们。”由此可推知，Maya Ackerman觉得她自己写的歌令人失望。
25. D。细节理解题。根据第二段第六句、第七句可知，这种灵感导致了ALYSIA的诞生，这是一个使用算法的歌曲创作程序。当第一次写歌的人输入歌词时，该电脑程序就可以根据歌词产生新的旋律。由此可知，ALYSIA使用算法，根据歌词产出好的旋律。
26. B。推理判断题。根据第四段第三句可知，他们中的一些人使用人工智能（AI）领域的算法。这项新兴技术教计算机执行人脑通常处理的任务或活动。由此可知，根据文章可知，人工智能的用途是做人们常做的事情。

【文章大意】说明文。我们生活在一个过度拥挤的地球上，尽管如此，许多人还是感到孤独或生活处境孤立。为此英国广播公司展开了一项有关孤独的调查。
28. D。细节理解题。根据第二段“It’s probably not true, but loneliness is seen as a big problem for the mental health of the population wherever they live—so much so that the British government even has a minister for loneliness.”可知，这可能不是真的，但是孤独被认为是人们心理健康的一个大问题，不论他们生活在哪里——以至于英国政府甚至有一个专门负责处理孤独(问题)的官员。由此可知，英国政府有一个负责处理孤独(问题)的官员的原因是因为孤独是有害和常见的。
29. C。推理判断题。根据第三段“The BBC recently completed a survey about the topic and it found that people aged between 16 and 24 experienced loneliness more often and more strongly than any other age group.”可知，英国广播公司最近完成了一项关于这个话题的调查，发现16到24岁的人比其他任何年龄段的人更频繁更强烈地感受到孤独；再根据最后一段“The BBC Loneliness Experiment also found that the type of culture you live in has connections with loneliness. ”可知，英国广播公司的孤独实验还发现，你所处的文化类型与孤独感有关。由此可知，根据英国广播公司的调查，孤独感与一个人的年龄和所处的环境有关。
30. B。词义猜测题。根据画线词语境可知，来自曼彻斯特大学的研究人员对这些数据进行了研究，他们认为孤独感可能会……年轻人，因为这是一个弄清自己在世界上的位置和学会处理情绪的时期。越来越多的年轻人患有精神疾病。其中一个主要的问题就是他们不能与他人进行适当的沟通。由此可推知，年轻人受到孤独的影响和困扰，故画线词与trouble含义相同。
31. A。推理判断题。根据第四段“She also said there needs to be a ‘national conversation’ to end the dishonour about admitting to feeling lonely.”可知，她还表示，需要一场“全国性的对话”以结束承认自己感到孤独的耻辱。由此可推知，在Tracey Crouch看来，要想对待孤独，人们首先要敢于接受自己感到孤独这一事实。
【文章大意】说明文。尽管计算机设备能够为失去语言能力者配声音，但这种声音数量很有限。现在VocaliD公司创建了语音库，这个语音库能为失去语言能力者匹配适合他们的声音。
32. B。细节理解题。根据第一段第一句“There are more than 10 million people in the world who are unable to speak and they depend on computerized equipment to provide their voices.”可知，世界上有超过1000万人不能说话，并且他们依靠计算机设备来提供他们的声音。由此可知，失去语言能力者依靠计算机设备讲话。
33. A。细节理解题。由第二段第一句“When speech scientist Rupal Patel was at a meeting and saw a young girl talking to a grown man and both were using the same computer voice, she knew something had to be done.”可知，当语音科学家Rupal Patel在一次会议上看到一个年轻的女孩和一个成年男子说话，而两人使用的是相同的电脑声音时，她知道该做点什么了。由此可知，Rupal Patel在会议上发现的问题是年轻的女孩同成年男子使用的电脑声音相同；再由第一段第二句“But because there are so few recorded voices for them, the same voice used by the physicist and writer Stephen Hawking is used by little children.”可知，但因为为他们而录制的声音太少了，所以一些孩子们使用的声音与物理学家兼作家斯蒂芬·霍金使用的声音相同。根据这两句可知，现有的被录制的声音太少导致了Rupal Patel在会议上发现的问题。
34. D。细节理解题。根据第三段第五句、第六句、第七句“The person who will receive the voice also records a few special sounds. Patel’s team then searches the voice database for a perfect voice match. Finally, that donated voice is joined with the receiver’s sounds, which makes a custom voice.”可知，接受声音的人也要录制一些特殊的声音。随后，Patel的团队搜索语音数据库，以便于寻找到完美的语音匹配。最后，捐赠的声音与接受者的声音结合起来，这就形成了一种定制的声音。由此可知，想要得到捐赠声音的那些失去语言能力的人们也需要录制一些特殊的声音是因为Patel的团队需要他们的特殊声音来获得完美的声音匹配。
35. C。推理判断题。根据第四段第一句“So far, more than 14,000 speakers from 120 countries have contributed to what the company, VocaliD, calls ‘The Human Voicebank’.”可知，到目前为止，来自120个国家的1.4万多名发言者为VocaliD公司的“人类声音银行”做出了贡献。由此可知，世界上有许多人愿意帮助失去语言能力者。
【文章大意】本文介绍了美国科学家们针对“文明病”给出的建议。
36. C。根据上文“They say people should eat more of the same kind of food eaten by humans living more than 10, 000 years ago.”可知，他们说，人们应该多吃些和一万多年前人类吃的东西同类的食物。由此可知，C项“在那种情况下，人们将活得更为健康。”承接上文。
37. E。根据上文“The scientists say that the human life has changed greatly. Our bodies have not been able to deal with these changes in lifestyle and this has led to new kinds of sicknesses.”可知，科学家们说人类的生活发生了很大的变化。我们的身体无法应对生活方式的这些变化，这导致了新的疾病种类的产生；再根据下文“So they are called ‘diseases of civilization’.” 可知，所以它们被称为“文明病”。由此可知， E项“这些新的疾病在古代并不为人所知。”符合此空。
38. D。根据上文“Another fact is that ancient people could generally have healthier lifestyles. Scientists noted that people in both the Old Stone Age and the New Stone Age enjoyed very little alcohol or tobacco, probably none.”可知，另一个事实是，古代人可能通常具有更健康的生活方式。科学家们指出，旧石器时代和新石器时代的人们都很少喝酒或抽烟，可能根本不抽烟喝酒。由此可知，D项“古代人还经常锻炼。”承接上文。
39. B。根据上文“Stone Age people killed wild animals for their meat, which had much less fat than farm animals. They ate a lot of fresh wild vegetables and fruits. They did not have milk or any other milk products, and they made very little use of corn. ” 可知，石器时代的人们把野生动物杀了吃肉，这种肉的脂肪要比农场（饲养的）动物少得多。他们吃了很多新鲜的野生蔬菜和水果。他们没有牛奶或其他奶制品，他们很少使用谷物。由此可知，B项“但是今天，我们很享受吃许多这些东西。”承接上文。
40. F。根据下文“But scientists say that we would be much healthier if we ate much the same way as the ancient people did, cutting the amount of fatty, salty and sweet food.”可知，但科学家们表示，如果我们能像古人那样饮食，减少油腻、咸和甜的食物，我们会更健康。由此可知，F项“今天的人们可能不想像我们的祖先那样生活。”提示下文。
【文章大意】作者和父亲到“鱼营”钓鱼，最终钓到一条大鱼。
41. C。根据上文“Though”可知，此空前后两分句为转折关系。由此可知，尽管开车去那儿的旅途是无聊的，但是作者可以看见身边湍急的水流。
42. D。根据上文“I could see the waters flowing rapidly right by us,”可知，“我”可以看见湍急的水流；及下文“the beautiful dark green mountains with the blue sky above them.”可知，蓝天下美丽的深绿色的山，由此可知，此空前后两分句为并列关系，故可知答案。
43. A。根据文章首句可知，作者的父亲带作者去“鱼营”钓鱼；再根据上文“We arrived at last,”可知，当他们到了的时候，作者的父亲搭起了帐篷。
44. C。根据上文作者的父亲带作者去“鱼营”钓鱼可知，作者和父亲去了Moose Creek，这是喜欢钓大鱼的人们会选择的地方。
45. A。根据上文作者和父亲来到了能钓到大鱼的Moose Creek可知，作者和父亲离开公路，走向水边。
46. D。根据上文“Fishing is slow,”可知，此处是作者的父亲提醒作者钓鱼是缓慢进行的，但如果耐心等待，那么就会被犒劳。
47. C。根据上文作者的父亲提醒作者钓鱼要有耐心可知，此处是说，因此，作者专心（钓鱼）。
48. B。根据上文“After a while, I noticed my line move”可知，过了一会儿，作者注意到鱼上钩了，他欣喜若狂。
49. A。根据下文“because it was bent so much.”可知，因为作者的鱼竿弯曲得非常厉害，作者的父亲很担心鱼竿会折断。
50. D。根据上文“It was a very large fish,”可知，这是一条大鱼，由此可知，作者很难将它拉上来。
51. B。根据上文“Finally, I succeeded”可知，最后，“我”成功了，由此可知，“我”将它放进网里。
52. A。根据上文“Finally, I succeeded.”可知，最后，“我”成功了；及下文“I showed my father what I’d just pulled out.”可知“我”把刚钓到的大鱼给父亲看，由此可知，作者充满了自豪。

Maya Ackerman just wanted to write a song. She tried for years — song after song. In the end, she didn’t like any of the tunes(曲调) she wrote. she says, “All the melodies (旋律) that came into my mind were so boring that I couldn’t imagine wasting time performing them.”
Maybe, she thought, a computer could puter programs are already useful for recording songs that people come up with. Ackerman now wondered if a computer could be more — a songwriting helper. It was a flash of inspiration. “I knew immediately that it would be possible for a machine to give me ideas,” she says. That inspiration led to the creation of ALYSIA, a songwriting program that uses algorithms (算法). When first-time songwriters type in lyrics, this computer program can produce new melodies, based on the lyrics.
As a computer scientist at Santa Clara University in California, Ackerman has a lot of experience using algorithms. These are step-by-step math ways to solve problems and make predictions(预测). Algorithms are useful in programming computers. They can also be useful for everyday tasks.
When a computer runs software, it’s completing tasks by following algorithms written as computer puter scientists like Ackerman analyze(分析), study and write algorithms to solve a series of problems. Some of them use algorithms in the field of a new technology, AI, which teaches computers to carry out tasks or activities that the human brain usually deals with.
Ackerman isn’t the only one using AI for songwriting. Some programs produce music for many instruments. AI is also finding its way into other arts. Painters, dancers and photographers have found new ways to make use of AI algorithms. Ahmed Elgammal runs a computer-science lab that focuses on using AI to influence art. “AI is a creative tool that will be accepted as an art form,” he says. “It will influence the way art is made, and what art will be.”
24. What did Maya Ackerman think of the song she wrote
A. Surprising. B. Satisfactory.
C. Disappointing. D. Wonderful.
25. How can ALYSIA turn out good melodies
A. By copying other songs.
B. By attracting helpers online.
C. By giving songwriters inspiration.
D. By using algorithms according to the lyrics.
26. What’s the use of AI according to the text
A. Making people write better algorithms.
B. Doing things that people often do.
C. Letting computers follow algorithms.
D. Inventing all kinds of creative tools.
27. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A. AI has been used mainly in singing.
B. AI can take the place of instruments.
C. Ahmed Elgammal is a famous artist.
D. Ahmed Elgammal thinks highly of AI.
C ★★★
How lonely are you Sometimes living alone or being in a faraway area with nobody around to talk to can make you feel lonely. It’s not a great feeling, but research has found that loneliness is something that can influence us all, whatever our age is.
There’s a familiar phrase that says it’s possible to be lonely in a crowd—although hundreds of people are beside you, you think you have nobody to talk to or to connect with. It’s probably not true, but loneliness is seen as a big problem for the mental health of the population wherever they live—so much so that the British government even has a minister(部长) for loneliness.
The BBC recently completed a survey about the topic and it found that people aged between 16 and 24 experienced loneliness more often and more strongly than any other age group. Researchers from the University of Manchester, who studied the data, suggested that feeling lonely may plague the young because it’s a time of figuring out your place in the world and of learning to deal with feelings. More and more young people are suffering from mental problems. One of the leading problems is that they do not communicate properly with others.
The problem is now being talked about more. And in the UK, the minister for Loneliness Tracey Crouch said that “the government now considers loneliness as one of the biggest health challenges we face.” She also said there needs to be a “national conversation” to end the dishonour about admitting to feeling lonely.
The BBC Loneliness Experiment also found that the type of culture you live in has connections with loneliness. People from cultures such as Northern Europe and the US, revealed they would be less likely to tell a workmate about their loneliness. But in cultures such as in Asia and Africa, older women in particular were at a lower risk of feeling lonely.
28. Why does the author mention the British minister for loneliness
A. To show loneliness is useless.
B. To show loneliness is predictable.
C. To show loneliness is hard to treat.
D. To show loneliness is harmful and common.
29. What can we know about loneliness according to the survey by the BBC
A. The older one is, the less probably he feels lonely.
B. Teenagers are more likely to be lonely than any other age group.
C. Loneliness is connected with one’s age and the environment he’s in.
D. Lonely people are more likely to be mentally ill than social ones.
30. What does the underlined word “plague” in Paragraph 3 mean
A. Inspire. B. Trouble. C. Support. D. Challenge.
31. How should people deal with loneliness in Tracey Crouch’s opinion
A. By accepting the fact that they feel lonely.
B. By spending less time in staying by themself.
C. By realizing the trouble in dealing with loneliness.
D. By being with positive people as much as possible.
D ★★★★
There are more than 10 million people in the world who are unable to speak and they depend on computerized equipment to provide their voices. But because there are so few recorded voices for them, the same voice used by the physicist and writer Stephen Hawking is used by little children.
When speech scientist Rupal Patel was at a meeting and saw a young girl talking to a grown man and both were using the same computer voice, she knew something had to be done. So Patel worked to create custom (定制的) voices for custom people. To start the process, a voice donor (捐赠者) records a series of short stories and sentences. They don’t record every single word a person might say, but they typically cover all the different combinations of sounds that happen in language.
The process might take between five and seven hours, but it doesn’t have to be done all at once and it can be done in the donor’s home. The voice donor can start, stop and pick up whenever it’s convenient. They’re encouraged to record from the same place each time so the sound is continuous. Those recordings are then divided into little pieces of speech to be kept in a database (数据库). The person who will receive the voice also records a few special sounds. Patel’s team then searches the voice database for a perfect voice match. Finally, that donated voice is joined with the receiver’s sounds, which makes a custom voice.
So far, more than 14,000 speakers from 120 countries have contributed to what the company, VocaliD, calls “The Human Voicebank”. People who want to donate can record from anywhere they have a computer or phone, sharing their voice with anyone who needs it or even banking it for themselves. “English speakers from English-speaking countries share their voice as part of our Human Voicebank because they want to help bring speech to the speechless,” VocaliD spokesperson Elisabeth Nuboer said. “We have voice donors all over the world, ranging in age from 6 to 91 and welcome everyone and all your wonderful voice.”
32. How do the speechless people speak, according to the passage
A. They write their words on paper.
B. They use computerized equipment.
C. They depend on body language.
D. They type their words on phones.
33. What caused the problem that Rupal Patel discovered at a meeting
A. There were so few recorded voices.
B. No recorded voices were for children.
C. Recorded voices didn’t sound perfect.
D. Recorded voices were not easy to understand.
34. Why do the speechless ones who want to get the donated voice also need to record a few special sounds
A. Because they also need to make a contribution to the database.
B. Because their special sounds will be needed for the study in the future.
C. Because their throats need to be examined before using special equipment.
D. Because Patel’s team needs their special sounds to get a perfect voice match.
35. Which of the following can we infer from the last paragraph
A. English-speaking voice donors are more important than others.
B. English is the main language in VocaliD’s Human Voicebank.
C. Many people around the world are willing to help the speechless.
D. The donor whose age is below six will be refused by the company.

In 1955, Ella Fitzgerald had a professional music career(生涯；事业) that lasted nearly twenty years. She was a talented Jazz musician, and yet she was hardly known to the general public because she was an African American doing amazing things at a time when racism(种族歧视) in the United States was still widespread.
So despite(尽管) her undoubted talent, it was very challenging for Ella to book shows at a concert hall that attracted mainly white audiences(观众). She didn’t let this stop her though, with all the difficulties against her, she set her sights on performing at Mocambo in Los Angeles, which was almost the most famous west coast jazz club at the time.
In the nature of things, the club owner, Charlie Morrison, turned Ella down, again and again. He tried to be kind, but he simply refused to run the risk of booking an African American performer. “Not only might I lose ticket sales for the night, but having you perform here could also be harmful for my club’s development in the long run,” he told her.
Still, Ella did not give up on her goal. She strongly believed performing at Mocambo could help her enter the mainstream(主流) music world. But she now realized she was going to need some help. So she picked up the telephone and came clean with her friend and fan, Marilyn Monroe, about her goal and setbacks. Marilyn was one of the most favorite white female film stars of the 1950’s.
Marilyn was shocked by what she heard about. As soon as she hung up on Ella, she picked the telephone back up and called Charlie over at Mocambo. She asked him to book Ella at once! But he refused again, and repeated his fearful reasons. So Marilyn sweetened the deal. “Charlie, if you make my friend Ella the leading performer at Mocambo for a full week, I will sit in the front row every single night Ella is there,” she said.
Para. 1: At this point Charlie had to consider the offer. ___________

Dear Wangxue，
I’m glad to receive your letter. I am sorry to know that you are having trouble in life in senior high school. So I’d like to offer my guidance on your learning and living problems.
In your letter, you have mentioned that you have too much pressure to learn science subjects well. In my opinion, you may turn to your teachers for help and make some changes in your learning style. In that way, you can also get along well with your teachers, which plays an important role in your own study. Besides, you have suffered from loneliness because you have few friends. I think it is very normal when you just have spent two months in your new class. It would be a good idea if you can take an active part in school activities, where you can try your best to make more friends. By doing this, you will find there are many lovely friends around you.
I hope you will find my advice useful.
Yours,
Li Hua
67. 第二节 作文2
Para. 1: At this point Charlie had to consider the offer. He knew he would get a great amount of media attention if he announced that Marilyn Monroe was in the house every night for a full week. Marilyn said with certainty, “The reporters will go crazy over this!” Charlie decided to take the chance, so he agreed to make Ella the leading performer at Mocambo for a full week.
Para. 2: As promised, Marilyn sat front and center every night Ella performed. Despite all of the times’ widespread racism, the club was full of people each night. And the excited crowds of people that first rushed into the jazz club to see Marilyn were shocked to see an African American singer standing on the stage. But they quickly fell in love with Ella’s powerful performances and forgot the color of her skin. That one week of performing turned out to be a success and made Ella widely known in Hollywood as a music star. It was all thanks to her strong will, her talent, and some loving help from a friend and fan named Marilyn Monroe.

【文章大意】说明文。我们生活在一个过度拥挤的地球上，尽管如此，许多人还是感到孤独或生活处境孤立。为此英国广播公司展开了一项有关孤独的调查。
28. D。细节理解题。根据第二段“It’s probably not true, but loneliness is seen as a big problem for the mental health of the population wherever they live—so much so that the British government even has a minister for loneliness.”可知，这可能不是真的，但是孤独被认为是人们心理健康的一个大问题，不论他们生活在哪里——以至于英国政府甚至有一个专门负责处理孤独(问题)的官员。由此可知，英国政府有一个负责处理孤独(问题)的官员的原因是因为孤独是有害和常见的。
29. C。推理判断题。根据第三段“The BBC recently completed a survey about the topic and it found that people aged between 16 and 24 experienced loneliness more often and more strongly than any other age group.”可知，英国广播公司最近完成了一项关于这个话题的调查，发现16到24岁的人比其他任何年龄段的人更频繁更强烈地感受到孤独；再根据最后一段“The BBC Loneliness Experiment also found that the type of culture you live in has connections with loneliness. ”可知，英国广播公司的孤独实验还发现，你所处的文化类型与孤独感有关。由此可知，根据英国广播公司的调查，孤独感与一个人的年龄和所处的环境有关。
30. B。词义猜测题。根据画线词语境可知，来自曼彻斯特大学的研究人员对这些数据进行了研究，他们认为孤独感可能会……年轻人，因为这是一个弄清自己在世界上的位置和学会处理情绪的时期。越来越多的年轻人患有精神疾病。其中一个主要的问题就是他们不能与他人进行适当的沟通。由此可推知，年轻人受到孤独的影响和困扰，故画线词与trouble含义相同。
31. A。推理判断题。根据第四段“She also said there needs to be a ‘national conversation’ to end the dishonour about admitting to feeling lonely.”可知，她还表示，需要一场“全国性的对话”以结束承认自己感到孤独的耻辱。由此可推知，在Tracey Crouch看来，要想对待孤独，人们首先要敢于接受自己感到孤独这一事实。

32. B。细节理解题。根据第一段第一句“There are more than 10 million people in the world who are unable to speak and they depend on computerized equipment to provide their voices.”可知，世界上有超过1000万人不能说话，并且他们依靠计算机设备来提供他们的声音。由此可知，失去语言能力者依靠计算机设备讲话。
33. A。细节理解题。由第二段第一句“When speech scientist Rupal Patel was at a meeting and saw a young girl talking to a grown man and both were using the same computer voice, she knew something had to be done.”可知，当语音科学家Rupal Patel在一次会议上看到一个年轻的女孩和一个成年男子说话，而两人使用的是相同的电脑声音时，她知道该做点什么了。由此可知，Rupal Patel在会议上发现的问题是年轻的女孩同成年男子使用的电脑声音相同；再由第一段第二句“But because there are so few recorded voices for them, the same voice used by the physicist and writer Stephen Hawking is used by little children.”可知，但因为为他们而录制的声音太少了，所以一些孩子们使用的声音与物理学家兼作家斯蒂芬·霍金使用的声音相同。根据这两句可知，现有的被录制的声音太少导致了Rupal Patel在会议上发现的问题。

Finally, that donated voice is joined with the receiver’s sounds, which makes a custom voice.”可知，接受声音的人也要录制一些特殊的声音。随后，Patel的团队搜索语音数据库，以便于寻找到完美的语音匹配。最后，捐赠的声音与接受者的声音结合起来，这就形成了一种定制的声音。由此可知，想要得到捐赠声音的那些失去语言能力的人们也需要录制一些特殊的声音是因为Patel的团队需要他们的特殊声音来获得完美的声音匹配。
