I will never forget the first dessert class at a cooking school in France, where a group of anxious dessert students (myself included) were tasked with preparing an apple pie. It looked simple enough, but I soon realized that it was as far from simple as it could be. However, my knife and I mastered this French classic, as well as dozens of others.
After graduating, I found a job at a modern American restaurant in Florida. Despite the restaurant's tiny kitchen, I was excited to work under Sylvia, the executive chef (总厨). The first job she gave me was to make apple pies. I couldn't have been more excited—until I realized these pies were actually in the form of a dumpling. But my education had made me stick to French tradition. It took me a minute to get comfortable with this way of cooking again. Slowly, I was forgetting my French tradition, and beginning to go with the flow more. The response from diners was good. Our desserts were sold out on most days.
Then one day, chef Sylvia gave me the chance to make a new dessert and planned to add it to the menu for a week. Surprised and touched by the chance, I decided to go all out. I created a seasonal citrus mousse made with Florida oranges and pistachio croquant (a crisp, delicate cookie). But after a week, the apple pie dumplings continued to far outsell my special dessert. A sense of frustration (挫败) went inside of me.
It finally made me aware that there isn't one "right" way to understand a cuisine (菜肴), or set of ingredients (食材). Where one chef can look at apples, butter, and flour (面粉) and see a French apple pie, another might see baked apple dumplings. Even though each person's translation may be different, I think they all deserve a spot on the table. And that was the most important lesson discovered, through something as seemingly simple as fruit and flour.
4. What makes the author feel surprised according to paragraph 2？
A. The tiny kitchen. B. The shape of apple pies.
C. The restaurant's tradition. D. The French way of cooking.

D. A special class at a cooking school.

China is recognized as a world leader in the development of artificial intelligence and facial recognition systems. A Chinese company says it has created a new facial recognition system that can identify (识别) people even if they are wearing masks. Engineers at the Beijing-based company say their system is the first to be created to effectively identify people wearing face masks.
The company told a news agency (机构) that a team of 20 people built the system in about a month. The system is based on existing technologies developed over the past 10 years. The process involved adding a collection of about 6 million unmasked faces and a much smaller collection of masked faces, the company said.
The company is now selling two main kinds of products that use the new technology. One performs "single channel" recognition, which is designed to be used at the entrances to buildings. The other product is a "multi-channel" recognition system that uses groups of surveillance (监视) cameras. It can identify individuals in a crowd of up to 30 people within a second.
"When people are wearing a mask that covers the mouth and the nose, the recognition rate can reach about 95%, which can ensure that most people can be identified," said Huang, vice president of the company. He added that, "the system's success rate for people not wearing a mask is about 99.5%."
However, the new system struggles to identify people wearing both a mask and sunglasses. "In this situation, all of the key facial information is lost. In such cases recognition is graunchy," Huang said.
People respond differently to the new technology. While some citizens have been against using such tools, the majority (大部分) have accepted the technology as an effective way to reduce crime (犯罪) and catch criminals.
8. What did the company do to build the system？
A. It used the latest technology. B. It gathered many face images.
C. It employed hundreds of people. D. It added a collection of masks.
9. What can we know about the new system？
A. Its success rate is affected by cameras.
B. Its performance varies with the location.
C. It does better in identifying unmasked faces.
D. It can recognize groups of people in seconds.
10. What does the underlined word "graunchy" mean？
A. Tough. B. Specific. C. Normal. D. Different.
11. What is most people's attitude towards the new system？
A. Supportive. B. Objective. C. Uncaring. D. Doubtful.
D
It has been almost six and a half years since the American music group Pearl Jam published its tenth album. That changed Friday when the hand dropped its eleventh collection, Gigaton. Critics (批评家) have noted that this new album includes hard rock. Entertainment Weekly called the music "a gathering storm of guitars". In other words, there is some loud and wild music on Gigaton. But most reviewers agree that Pearl Jam continued to experiment with less traditional rock and roll sounds on the album.
But—back to the name of the album—Gigaton can also mean the weight or mass equal to 1 billion tons. The word is most often used these days in stories related to climate science and environmental damage. In fact, former U. S. President Barack Obama famously defined the word during a 2015 speech about climate change in Alaska and the Arctic. When discussing the huge, yearly loss of ice from Alaska's glaciers, he compared the amount to the size of the National Mall in Washington, D.C. as if it were a solid (固体的) block that stood almost 700 meters tall.
And climate change issues are at the heart of Pearl Jam's Gigaton. The album picture shows icefalls in Svalbard, Norway. Svalbard is one of the northernmost places where humans live in the world. Some climate scientists say it is warming faster than any other place. Pearl Jam has devoted most of its 30-year existence to environmental causes. The band and its members have won honors for raising money, climate change educational efforts and more. They also put money into environmental health projects to reduce the group's carbon footprint.
Pearl Jam was officially introduced into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2017. The lead singer Eddie Vedder's opening comments were about the environment. "So, climate change is real," he said. "And we... cannot... cannot be the generation that history will look back upon and wonder, why didn't they do everything humanly possible to solve this biggest danger in our time."
12. What can we know about the new album Gigaton
A. It contains more loud music. B. It receives fans' high praise.
C. It is Pearl Jam's tenth album. D. It has new musical elements.
13. Why are Barack Obama's words mentioned？
A. To give a definition of gigaton.
B. To call on people to focus on glaciers.
C. To show the influence of climate change.
D. To explain the character of Alaska's glaciers.
14. What do the members of Pearl Jam always try to do？
A. Fund healthcare project. B. Team climate scientists up.
C. Fight against climate change. D. Build residences in Svalbard.
15. What is the best title of the text？
A. Pearl Jam's New Album Makes a Hit
B. Gigaton: a Gathering Storm of Guitars
C. Pearl Jam: an Influential Band in the World
D. A New Album Rocks Hard on Climate Change

37. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的次数应为150左右。
Mrs. Palin spoke as she walked to the front of the classroom, "Next Wednesday, I'll give you a test to check your ability as a conductor. Now, select one of the composers listed on the blackboard. And after class, find a tape containing the composition created by the composer. During the test, use the tape player to play the composition. When the music starts, imagine you are the conductor of an orchestra (管弦乐队) that performs the composer's music." And then she smiled, "You'll receive the test in front of your classmates."
"What A test in front of the classmates It will kill me," I said to myself. Although normally I perform well in music, and often have high marks, I am quite a shy girl. After a short while, I took a deep breath and looked through the list of names on the blackboard. One name caught my attention.
"Who's that person " I wondered. I didn't know, but that was going to be my choice. Seated in the classroom, I fixed my eyes on that name anxiously, hoping no one would announce that name. Finally, it was my turn. I said without a second thought, "Johannes Brahms." Once I said the name, panic washed over me. I sighed, "How am I going to do this I know nothing about the person and his composition. But I have to perform in front of my classmates and teacher."
Later in the day, I went to a store and bought a tape that contained Johannes Brahms's compositions and its relevant music notation (符号). Back home, I played the tape, and tried to get familiar with the composition. When listening to the composition and looking at the music score, I held a stick and moved my arms to and fro (来回地), pretending to be guiding an orchestra. During the following days, I kept practicing but didn't perform quite well. The composition was indeed hard for me.
When the big day came, I felt nervous as I slipped into my seat and waited for my turn to perform. Eventually, Mrs. Palin called my name, "Jill, it's your turn."

【解析】1. 句意：孔子博物馆占地5.5万平方米，汇集了近70万件文物，其中一些曾被私下保存在孔子府邸。谓语动词covers和brings之间是并列关系，应用表示并列的连词and连接。故填and。
2. 空处修饰动词kept，应用副词；privately副词，私下地，私人地。故填privately。
3. 句意：这座博物馆也是一个了解传统文化的地方。a place to do sth.做某事的地方，其中动词不定式作后置定语，修饰place。故填to learn。
4. 句意：距此约30分钟车程的尼山圣境，被认为是孔子的出生地，也通过游学来促进与当地文化的更深接触，为游客提供更丰富的体验。从句表示客观事实，应用一般现在时；which引导非限制性定语从句，在从句中作主语，指代先行词Nishan Sacred Land（专有名词），与动词regard之间是动宾关系，所以此处应用一般现在时的被动语态，be动词用is。故填is regarded。

9. 分析句子结构可知，空处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词为Tai'an Old Street Scenic Area，表示地点，从句中缺少地点状语，因此用关系副词where引导该从句。故填where。
10. 空处修饰名词短语tourism industry，应用形容词性物主代词。故填its。
37.【答案】 Then, I forced myself to walk to the front of the classroom. Standing in front of all the students made me very nervous, and my legs kept shaking. To make the matter worse, my brain went blank at that very moment, forgetting my previous practice. However, I tried to remind myself to be calm. After a few deep breaths, I felt much better and began to perform. Thinking my performance must be terrible, I was even unwilling to think about the result.
The next day, Mrs. Palin handed each student a piece of paper with a score. With my report card in hand, my heart pounded because I was afraid that I would be the one who got the lowest score. I closed my eyes and slowly opened my report card. To my surprise, I got a high score. When the teacher announced that I was the best in my class, I almost jumped with joy. I understood that only by working hard, can we get good results.

I will never forget the first dessert class at a cooking school in France, where a group of anxious dessert students (myself included) were tasked with preparing an apple pie. It looked simple enough, but I soon realized that it was as far from simple as it could be. However, my knife and I mastered this French classic, as well as dozens of others.
After graduating, I found a job at a modern American restaurant in Florida. Despite the restaurant's tiny kitchen, I was excited to work under Sylvia, the executive chef (总厨). The first job she gave me was to make apple pies. I couldn't have been more excited—until I realized these pies were actually in the form of a dumpling. But my education had made me stick to French tradition. It took me a minute to get comfortable with this way of cooking again. Slowly, I was forgetting my French tradition, and beginning to go with the flow more. The response from diners was good. Our desserts were sold out on most days.
Then one day, chef Sylvia gave me the chance to make a new dessert and planned to add it to the menu for a week. Surprised and touched by the chance, I decided to go all out. I created a seasonal citrus mousse made with Florida oranges and pistachio croquant (a crisp, delicate cookie). But after a week, the apple pie dumplings continued to far outsell my special dessert. A sense of frustration (挫败) went inside of me.
It finally made me aware that there isn't one "right" way to understand a cuisine (菜肴), or set of ingredients (食材). Where one chef can look at apples, butter, and flour (面粉) and see a French apple pie, another might see baked apple dumplings. Even though each person's translation may be different, I think they all deserve a spot on the table. And that was the most important lesson discovered, through something as seemingly simple as fruit and flour.
4. What makes the author feel surprised according to paragraph 2？
A. The tiny kitchen. B. The shape of apple pies.
C. The restaurant's tradition. D. The French way of cooking.
5. How was the author's new dessert？

C. There is no fixed way for cooking.
D. Understanding a cuisine is necessary.

B. A new dessert on the menu.
C. A lesson taken as a dessert chef.
D. A special class at a cooking school.

China is recognized as a world leader in the development of artificial intelligence and facial recognition systems. A Chinese company says it has created a new facial recognition system that can identify (识别) people even if they are wearing masks. Engineers at the Beijing-based company say their system is the first to be created to effectively identify people wearing face masks.
The company told a news agency (机构) that a team of 20 people built the system in about a month. The system is based on existing technologies developed over the past 10 years. The process involved adding a collection of about 6 million unmasked faces and a much smaller collection of masked faces, the company said.
The company is now selling two main kinds of products that use the new technology. One performs "single channel" recognition, which is designed to be used at the entrances to buildings. The other product is a "multi-channel" recognition system that uses groups of surveillance (监视) cameras. It can identify individuals in a crowd of up to 30 people within a second.
"When people are wearing a mask that covers the mouth and the nose, the recognition rate can reach about 95%, which can ensure that most people can be identified," said Huang, vice president of the company. He added that, "the system's success rate for people not wearing a mask is about 99.5%."
However, the new system struggles to identify people wearing both a mask and sunglasses. "In this situation, all of the key facial information is lost. In such cases recognition is graunchy," Huang said.
People respond differently to the new technology. While some citizens have been against using such tools, the majority (大部分) have accepted the technology as an effective way to reduce crime (犯罪) and catch criminals.
8. What did the company do to build the system？
A. It used the latest technology. B. It gathered many face images.
C. It employed hundreds of people. D. It added a collection of masks.
9. What can we know about the new system？
A. Its success rate is affected by cameras.
B. Its performance varies with the location.
C. It does better in identifying unmasked faces.
D. It can recognize groups of people in seconds.
10. What does the underlined word "graunchy" mean？
A. Tough. B. Specific. C. Normal. D. Different.
11. What is most people's attitude towards the new system？
A. Supportive. B. Objective. C. Uncaring. D. Doubtful.
D
It has been almost six and a half years since the American music group Pearl Jam published its tenth album. That changed Friday when the hand dropped its eleventh collection, Gigaton. Critics (批评家) have noted that this new album includes hard rock. Entertainment Weekly called the music "a gathering storm of guitars". In other words, there is some loud and wild music on Gigaton. But most reviewers agree that Pearl Jam continued to experiment with less traditional rock and roll sounds on the album.
But—back to the name of the album—Gigaton can also mean the weight or mass equal to 1 billion tons. The word is most often used these days in stories related to climate science and environmental damage. In fact, former U. S. President Barack Obama famously defined the word during a 2015 speech about climate change in Alaska and the Arctic. When discussing the huge, yearly loss of ice from Alaska's glaciers, he compared the amount to the size of the National Mall in Washington, D.C. as if it were a solid (固体的) block that stood almost 700 meters tall.
And climate change issues are at the heart of Pearl Jam's Gigaton. The album picture shows icefalls in Svalbard, Norway. Svalbard is one of the northernmost places where humans live in the world. Some climate scientists say it is warming faster than any other place. Pearl Jam has devoted most of its 30-year existence to environmental causes. The band and its members have won honors for raising money, climate change educational efforts and more. They also put money into environmental health projects to reduce the group's carbon footprint.
Pearl Jam was officially introduced into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2017. The lead singer Eddie Vedder's opening comments were about the environment. "So, climate change is real," he said. "And we... cannot... cannot be the generation that history will look back upon and wonder, why didn't they do everything humanly possible to solve this biggest danger in our time."
12. What can we know about the new album Gigaton
A. It contains more loud music. B. It receives fans' high praise.
C. It is Pearl Jam's tenth album. D. It has new musical elements.
13. Why are Barack Obama's words mentioned？
A. To give a definition of gigaton.
B. To call on people to focus on glaciers.
C. To show the influence of climate change.
D. To explain the character of Alaska's glaciers.
14. What do the members of Pearl Jam always try to do？
A. Fund healthcare project. B. Team climate scientists up.
C. Fight against climate change. D. Build residences in Svalbard.
15. What is the best title of the text？
A. Pearl Jam's New Album Makes a Hit
B. Gigaton: a Gathering Storm of Guitars
C. Pearl Jam: an Influential Band in the World
D. A New Album Rocks Hard on Climate Change

Mrs. Palin spoke as she walked to the front of the classroom, "Next Wednesday, I'll give you a test to check your ability as a conductor. Now, select one of the composers listed on the blackboard. And after class, find a tape containing the composition created by the composer. During the test, use the tape player to play the composition. When the music starts, imagine you are the conductor of an orchestra (管弦乐队) that performs the composer's music." And then she smiled, "You'll receive the test in front of your classmates."
"What A test in front of the classmates It will kill me," I said to myself. Although normally I perform well in music, and often have high marks, I am quite a shy girl. After a short while, I took a deep breath and looked through the list of names on the blackboard. One name caught my attention.
"Who's that person " I wondered. I didn't know, but that was going to be my choice. Seated in the classroom, I fixed my eyes on that name anxiously, hoping no one would announce that name. Finally, it was my turn. I said without a second thought, "Johannes Brahms." Once I said the name, panic washed over me. I sighed, "How am I going to do this I know nothing about the person and his composition. But I have to perform in front of my classmates and teacher."
Later in the day, I went to a store and bought a tape that contained Johannes Brahms's compositions and its relevant music notation (符号). Back home, I played the tape, and tried to get familiar with the composition. When listening to the composition and looking at the music score, I held a stick and moved my arms to and fro (来回地), pretending to be guiding an orchestra. During the following days, I kept practicing but didn't perform quite well. The composition was indeed hard for me.
When the big day came, I felt nervous as I slipped into my seat and waited for my turn to perform. Eventually, Mrs. Palin called my name, "Jill, it's your turn."

16~20.【答案】G、B、D、F、E
【解析】1. 【文章大意】本文为说明文。研究发现，早上被音乐闹钟吵醒的人感觉更加清醒，音乐会使你在早晨摆脱困倦的感觉。
根据下文中的Grogginess (昏昏沉沉) means a person has a heavy feeling when waking up, and has trouble getting moving again after sleeping.（昏昏沉沉指的是一个人醒来时感觉很沉重，入睡后很难再次移动。）可知，Grogginess与G项中的grogginess相照应，且G项（这种刺耳的难听的声音可能会让你在早上更难摆脱困倦的感觉，也就是昏昏沉沉。）中的That hard, unpleasant sound指的就是上文中的beep beep beep...。故选G。
2. 根据下文中的A recent study says yes. The answer is music.（最近的一项研究给出了肯定的答案。答案是音乐。）可知，空处是提问有没有更好的办法来叫醒自己，B项（那么，有没有更好的方法来完成这一点呢？）符合语境。下文则给出回答：那就是音乐。故选B。
3. 根据上文中的The study, carried out by researchers in Australia, included 50 people. The study subjects answered questions about the alarm sound they like to wake up to, how they feel about that sound and how they feel when they wake up.（这项由澳大利亚研究人员开展的研究包括50人。研究对象回答了有关他们喜欢醒来时的闹钟声音、他们对这种声音的感觉以及他们醒来时的感觉的问题。）可知，空处应当是说明这项研究的结果。D项（研究人员发现，在音乐闹钟下醒来的人感觉更加清醒。）符合语境。故选D。
4. 根据上文中的The researchers think the music may be more successful in reducing grogginess because it has several tones (音调), compared to the single tone of a "beeping" alarm.（研究人员认为，与“哔哔”警报的单一音调相比，这种音乐有多种音调，因此可能更能成功地减少昏昏沉沉的感觉。）可知，空处承接上文，说明音乐音调变化的好处是有助于增强一个人从睡梦中醒来时的注意力。F项（随着时间的推移，音乐音调之间的变化可能有助于增强一个人从睡梦中醒来时的注意力。）符合语境。故选F。
5. 根据上文中的And is there a kind of music that is best to wake up to There may be. Alarm sounds that are tuneful and easy to sing along with may be good choices.（有没有一种音乐能让人在醒来时感觉最好？可能会有。音调优美并且容易跟着唱的闹钟声音也许是好的选择。）可知，音调优美并且容易跟着唱的闹钟声音也许是好的选择。E项（然而，专家表示，无论你以何种方式醒来，你的睡眠质量也很重要。）与上文内容形成转折，符合语境。故选E。

【解析】1. 句意：孔子博物馆占地5.5万平方米，汇集了近70万件文物，其中一些曾被私下保存在孔子府邸。谓语动词covers和brings之间是并列关系，应用表示并列的连词and连接。故填and。
2. 空处修饰动词kept，应用副词；privately副词，私下地，私人地。故填privately。
3. 句意：这座博物馆也是一个了解传统文化的地方。a place to do sth.做某事的地方，其中动词不定式作后置定语，修饰place。故填to learn。
4. 句意：距此约30分钟车程的尼山圣境，被认为是孔子的出生地，也通过游学来促进与当地文化的更深接触，为游客提供更丰富的体验。从句表示客观事实，应用一般现在时；which引导非限制性定语从句，在从句中作主语，指代先行词Nishan Sacred Land（专有名词），与动词regard之间是动宾关系，所以此处应用一般现在时的被动语态，be动词用is。故填is regarded。

9. 分析句子结构可知，空处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词为Tai'an Old Street Scenic Area，表示地点，从句中缺少地点状语，因此用关系副词where引导该从句。故填where。
10. 空处修饰名词短语tourism industry，应用形容词性物主代词。故填its。
37.【答案】 Then, I forced myself to walk to the front of the classroom. Standing in front of all the students made me very nervous, and my legs kept shaking. To make the matter worse, my brain went blank at that very moment, forgetting my previous practice. However, I tried to remind myself to be calm. After a few deep breaths, I felt much better and began to perform. Thinking my performance must be terrible, I was even unwilling to think about the result.
The next day, Mrs. Palin handed each student a piece of paper with a score. With my report card in hand, my heart pounded because I was afraid that I would be the one who got the lowest score. I closed my eyes and slowly opened my report card. To my surprise, I got a high score. When the teacher announced that I was the best in my class, I almost jumped with joy. I understood that only by working hard, can we get good results.
