When I first met professor Dalecki, I respected him greatly. He walked in the class in formal business suits as if he was prepared for a conference. He greeted everyone with a loud and clear “Good morning” like Jon Stewart from Daily Show. Then he started introducing himself and told everyone his name is Jacek, atypical Polish name that no one knows how to pronounce. He shared his frustration with the class and said, “People have already invented more than ten odd ways of calling my name in the past decade, and most Americans prefer to call me Jay-cek, but it is really ya-cek.” From that moment, I knew there was something about him that made him stand out among all the professors I’d known before.
Professor Dalecki never believed in exams. He understood the huge workload that students have and never intended to make the exam questions hard for us to memorize. I once told him that I almost felt like the hell gate opened for me if I got a C. But he laughed and said, “If it were not for my loving girl friend giving me the exam questions, I can tell you I’d still be in high school somewhere in Warsaw.”
What impressed me most was the extent he would go to avoid bias (偏见) in the classroom. He could turn an entire class into a battleground where everybody gets excited for a heated debate while staying objective as a mediator (调解人) who refused to force his own opinions on any side.
I visited him during his office hours once after class, eager to find out what his stances are on some of the issues we’ve covered in the class, so I asked, “In China, people really aren’t that serious with when it is okay for teenagers to drink. What do you think of the minimum drinking age in America being set at 21 ”
“I’m not supposed to answer that question,” he said.
“But why You don’t seem to take any side during the class and I’m just curious to hear how you really feel!”
“I choose not to share it because I don’t want it to cloud your own judgments about how you think about certain things.”
At that moment, I finally understood how much effort it really took for Dalecki to let us do our thinking on our own. His incredible mindset (观念模式) still has a huge influence on me till this day. So I will end this article with his quote: “It is at this stage in the class that I must ask myself, ‘Did I lie to you ’”
4. Why did professor Dalecki share his frustration with the class
A. Because he wanted to be comforted.
B. Because he was really sad as his name was odd.
C. Because he cared much about the pronunciation.
D. Because he tried to introduce himself in a unique way.
5. What did professor Dalecki want to express in Paragraph 2
A. To laugh at the author.
B. To make himself stand out.
C. To tell the author not to be nervous about the exams.
D. To encourage the author to look for a girlfriend to help him.
6. What does the underlined word “stances” in Paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Circumstances. B. Altitudes.
C. Attitudes. D. Performances.
7. What can we learn from the text
A Professor Dalecki is humorous and expert at education.
B. Professor Dalecki is objective when dealing with our quarrels.
C. Professor Dalecki once scolded the author in his office.
D. Professor Dalecki always refuses to communicate with his students.
C
If you’ve logged on to any social media app this week, you’ve probably seen pictures of your friends, but they are re-imagined as fairy princesses, handsome princes, and charming characters. It is all because of Lensa, an app which uses artificial intelligence to present digital portraits based on photos users submit.
Lensa recommends users submit 10-20 selfies for the best results. The pictures should be close-up of your face with a variety of different backgrounds, facial expressions, and angles. A yearlong subscription to the app, which also provides photo editing services, costs $35.99. But you can use the app for a weeklong free trial if you want to test it out before committing.
To test out the app, I took 20 selfies I thought showed a variety of expressions and angles and submitted. It took around 20 minutes for Lensa to return my portraits, which fell into several categories: fantasy, fairy princess, focus, pop, stylish, light, kawaii, and cosmic. In general, I felt like the app did a decent job producing artistic images based on my selfies.
Other users have documented unfavorable experiences which come from their Lensa images. Aubrey Gordon, a writer and fat rights activist, wrote on her Instagram the app produced images which made her look much thinner than she actually is. “Lensa is really working overtime to make AI me into a thin person,” she wrote in the caption.
Several of the artists expressed concern the apps could also threaten their livelihoods. Digital artists cannot compete with the low prices and fast turnaround artificial intelligence enables for a digital portrait, they said at the time.
Lensa’s owner Prisma has tried to relieve anxiety that digital artists will be robbed of work opportunities owing to the technology. “While both humans and AI learn about artistic styles in semi-similar ways, there are some fundamental differences: AI is capable of rapidly analyzing and learning from large sets of data, but it does not have the same level of attention and appreciation for art as a human being.”
8. What can be learned about Lensa
A. It is a tool that stores photos. B. It is a photo trading platform.
C. It is an app that takes photos. D. It aims to offer customized photos.
9 What impressed the author most
A. The low price of Lensa. B. The wide popularity of Lensa.
C. The artistic images Lensa made. D. The speed at which Lensa makes photos.
10. Why does Aubrey Gordon disapprove of Lensa
A. Because it is time-consuming. B. Because it is friendly to the thin.
C. Because it presents unrealistic photos. D. Because it is posing a threat to her job.
11. What does Prisma imply
A. Lensa cannot replace human artists. B. Lensa will give a hand to digital artists.
C. Lensa needs further improvement. D. Lensa is good at data analysis.
D
We humans have an outsize influence on this planet, and our winged, finned, and four-legged neighbors are in their tough time. Many animals have died out in response to the pressures, but some survivors are adapting. Some animals are showing off never-before-seen behaviors, shifting their diets, and even evolving different shapes, sizes, and colors.
The shifts can’t be avoided and are likely permanent: There’s no going back to when wildlife was still completely wild. “There’s no place anywhere on the planet in its original condition. There are micro plastics at the bottom of the ocean, and Antarctica is melting. The world has changed because we’re in it,” says Tag Engstrom, a biologist at California State University.
African elephants in Mozambique’s Gorongosa National Park are some daring members of the animal kingdom, who have found a will and a way to change right along with it.
Normally elephants use their 6-foot-long tusks to dig wells in search of water, lift objects, rip bark off trees, and even battle lions. In other words, the ivory appendages (附属品) are not just impressive to look at — they are highly useful tools. So it might seem strange that a significant number of African elephants in Mozambique’s Gorongosa National Park, once an illegal hunting wildlife area, are now being born without tusks.
According to a 2021 DNA analysis published in the journal Science, that the elephants are born without tusks is no coincidence. After decades of being shot by ivory brokers, the leading elephants in some herds have passed down a trait that prevents the females’ prize possessions from growing in — and helps them avoid being hunted. No one knows yet how widespread these genes might be in the greater population of African elephants, or how the loss of tusks might affect the mammals’ survival overall. But the findings are a powerful, if depressing, reminder of the extremes a species might endure to escape from extinction.
12. How do the animals respond to humans influence
A. Many animals have evolved four legs.
B. Animals can survive despite the tough time.
C. Some animals are developing different shapes.
D. Animals live in harmony with human beings.
13. Why are the shifts likely permanent
A. We human beings are evolving.
B. Wildlife are not going back to the wild.
C. Plastics appear at the bottom of the ocean.
D. The planet is no longer what it was like before.
14. What can we infer from the 2021 DNA analysis
A. The elephants evolve the new trait by chance.
B. Elephants in some herds are all born without tusks.
C. Genes will be widespread in the greater population.
D. The new trait may help elephants survive the extinction.
15 In which column of a magazine can we most likely to find the text
A. Travel. B. Science. C. Puzzles. D. Well-being.

Last week I compete in the long jump in our school sports meeting. I went all out for a win, and victory did not favor me. Accepting failure was last thing I wanted. It seemed that all your previous efforts had been meaningless. My classmates came to comfort me. “Never give up!” and “You are amazed!” These words were like the warm spring breeze, blew away the dark clouds in my heart. I came to realize the significant of failure. Failure is essentially for us if we want to become stronger, because it not only exercises our minds but makes us to better understand ourselves. This is which I’ve learned in the long jump.

When I first met professor Dalecki, I respected him greatly. He walked in the class in formal business suits as if he was prepared for a conference. He greeted everyone with a loud and clear “Good morning” like Jon Stewart from Daily Show. Then he started introducing himself and told everyone his name is Jacek, atypical Polish name that no one knows how to pronounce. He shared his frustration with the class and said, “People have already invented more than ten odd ways of calling my name in the past decade, and most Americans prefer to call me Jay-cek, but it is really ya-cek.” From that moment, I knew there was something about him that made him stand out among all the professors I’d known before.
Professor Dalecki never believed in exams. He understood the huge workload that students have and never intended to make the exam questions hard for us to memorize. I once told him that I almost felt like the hell gate opened for me if I got a C. But he laughed and said, “If it were not for my loving girl friend giving me the exam questions, I can tell you I’d still be in high school somewhere in Warsaw.”
What impressed me most was the extent he would go to avoid bias (偏见) in the classroom He could turn an entire class into a battleground where everybody gets excited for a heated debate while staying objective as a mediator (调解人) who refused to force his own opinions on any side.
I visited him during his office hours once after class, eager to find out what his stances are on some of the issues we’ve covered in the class, so I asked, “In China, people really aren’t that serious with when it is okay for teenagers to drink. What do you think of the minimum drinking age in America being set at 21 ”
“I’m not supposed to answer that question,” he said.
“But why You don’t seem to take any side during the class and I’m just curious to hear how you really feel!”
“I choose not to share it because I don’t want it to cloud your own judgments about how you think about certain things.”
At that moment, I finally understood how much effort it really took for Dalecki to let us do our thinking on our own. His incredible mindset (观念模式) still has a huge influence on me till this day. So I will end this article with his quote: “It is at this stage in the class that I must ask myself, ‘Did I lie to you ’”
4. Why did professor Dalecki share his frustration with the class
A. Because he wanted to be comforted.
B Because he was really sad as his name was odd.
C. Because he cared much about the pronunciation.
D. Because he tried to introduce himself in a unique way.
5. What did professor Dalecki want to express in Paragraph 2
A. To laugh at the author.
B. To make himself stand out.

If you’ve logged on to any social media app this week, you’ve probably seen pictures of your friends, but they are re-imagined as fairy princesses, handsome princes, and charming characters. It is all because of Lensa, an app which uses artificial intelligence to present digital portraits based on photos users submit.
Lensa recommends users submit 10-20 selfies for the best results. The pictures should be close-up of your face with a variety of different backgrounds, facial expressions, and angles. A yearlong subscription to the app, which also provides photo editing services, costs $35.99. But you can use the app for a weeklong free trial if you want to test it out before committing.
To test out the app, I took 20 selfies I thought showed a variety of expressions and angles and submitted. It took around 20 minutes for Lensa to return my portraits, which fell into several categories: fantasy, fairy princess, focus, pop, stylish, light, kawaii, and cosmic. In general, I felt like the app did a decent job producing artistic images based on my selfies.
Other users have documented unfavorable experiences which come from their Lensa images. Aubrey Gordon, a writer and fat rights activist, wrote on her Instagram the app produced images which made her look much thinner than she actually is. “Lensa is really working overtime to make AI me into a thin person,” she wrote in the caption.
Several of the artists expressed concern the apps could also threaten their livelihoods. Digital artists cannot compete with the low prices and fast turnaround artificial intelligence enables for a digital portrait, they said at the time.
Lensa’s owner Prisma has tried to relieve anxiety that digital artists will be robbed of work opportunities owing to the technology. “While both humans and AI learn about artistic styles in semi-similar ways, there are some fundamental differences: AI is capable of rapidly analyzing and learning from large sets of data, but it does not have the same level of attention and appreciation for art as a human being.”
8. What can be learned about Lensa
A. It is a tool that stores photos. B. It is a photo trading platform.
C. It is an app that takes photos. D. It aims to offer customized photos.
9. What impressed the author most
A. The low price of Lensa. B. The wide popularity of Lensa.
C. The artistic images Lensa made. D. The speed at which Lensa makes photos.
10. Why does Aubrey Gordon disapprove of Lensa
A. Because it is time-consuming. B. Because it is friendly to the thin.
C. Because it presents unrealistic photos. D. Because it is posing a threat to her job.
11. What does Prisma imply
A. Lensa cannot replace human artists. B. Lensa will give a hand to digital artists.
C. Lensa needs further improvement. D. Lensa is good at data analysis.
【答案】8. C 9. C 10. C 11. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了Lensa这款拍照应用程序并说明了不同的人的使用感受。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“It is all because of Lensa, an app which uses artificial intelligence to present digital portraits based on photos users submit.(这一切都归功于Lensa，这是一款利用人工智能根据用户提交的照片呈现数字肖像的应用程序)”可知，Lensa是一个拍照的应用程序。故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“To test out the app, I took 20 selfies I thought showed a variety of expressions and angles and submitted. It took around 20 minutes for Lensa to return my portraits, which fell into several categories: fantasy, fairy princess, focus, pop, stylish, light, kawaii, and cosmic. In general, I felt like the app did a decent job producing artistic images based on my selfies.(为了测试这款应用，我拍了20张自拍照，我认为这些照片展示了各种表情和角度，然后提交了。Lensa花了大约20分钟把我的照片还给了我，这些照片分为几个类别：幻想、童话公主、聚焦、流行、时尚、光线、卡哇伊和宇宙。总的来说，我觉得这个应用程序在根据我的自拍制作艺术图像方面做得还不错)”可知，作者印象最深的是Lensa创造的艺术形象。故选C。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第三段中“Aubrey Gordon, a writer and fat rights activist, wrote on her Instagram the app produced images which made her look much thinner than she actually is. “Lensa is really working overtime to make Al me into a thin person,” she wrote in the caption.(作家兼肥胖维权人士Aubrey Gordon在她的Instagram上写道，这款应用的图片让她看起来比实际瘦得多。她在配文中写道：“Lensa真的在加班加点地把我变成一个瘦子。”)”可知，Aubrey Gordon不赞成Lense，是因为它呈现不真实的照片。故选C。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“While both humans and AI learn about artistic styles in semi-similar ways, there are some fundamental differences: AI is capable of rapidly analyzing and learning from large sets of data, but it does not have the same level of attention and appreciation for art as a human being. (虽然人类和人工智能学习艺术风格方式是半相似的，但有一些根本的差异：人工智能能够从大量数据中快速分析和学习，但它对艺术的关注度和鉴赏力不如人类)”可推知，Prisma意思是Lensa不能取代人类艺术家。故选A。
D
We humans have an outsize influence on this planet, and our winged, finned, and four-legged neighbors are in their tough time. Many animals have died out in response to the pressures, but some survivors are adapting. Some animals are showing off never-before-seen behaviors, shifting their diets, and even evolving different shapes, sizes, and colors.
The shifts can’t be avoided and are likely permanent: There’s no going back to when wildlife was still completely wild. “There’s no place anywhere on the planet in its original condition. There are micro plastics at the bottom of the ocean, and Antarctica is melting. The world has changed because we’re in it,” says Tag Engstrom, a biologist at California State University.
African elephants in Mozambique’s Gorongosa National Park are some daring members of the animal kingdom, who have found a will and a way to change right along with it.
Normally elephants use their 6-foot-long tusks to dig wells in search of water, lift objects, rip bark off trees, and even battle lions. In other words, the ivory appendages (附属品) are not just impressive to look at — they are highly useful tools. So it might seem strange that a significant number of African elephants in Mozambique’s Gorongosa National Park, once an illegal hunting wildlife area, are now being born without tusks.
According to a 2021 DNA analysis published in the journal Science, that the elephants are born without tusks is no coincidence. After decades of being shot by ivory brokers, the leading elephants in some herds have passed down a trait that prevents the females’ prize possessions from growing in — and helps them avoid being hunted. No one knows yet how widespread these genes might be in the greater population of African elephants, or how the loss of tusks might affect the mammals’ survival overall. But the findings are a powerful, if depressing, reminder of the extremes a species might endure to escape from extinction.
12. How do the animals respond to humans influence
A. Many animals have evolved four legs.
B. Animals can survive despite the tough time.
C. Some animals are developing different shapes.
D. Animals live in harmony with human beings.
13. Why are the shifts likely permanent
A. We human beings are evolving.
B. Wildlife are not going back to the wild.
C. Plastics appear at the bottom of the ocean.
D. The planet is no longer what it was like before.
14. What can we infer from the 2021 DNA analysis
A. The elephants evolve the new trait by chance.
B. Elephants in some herds are all born without tusks.
C. Genes will be widespread in the greater population.
D. The new trait may help elephants survive the extinction.
15. In which column of a magazine can we most likely to find the text
A. Travel. B. Science. C. Puzzles. D. Well-being.
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. D 15. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍在人类活动的影响下一些动物正在进化，以避免灭绝。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段的“Many animals have died out in response to the pressures, but some survivors are adapting. Some animals are showing off never-before-seen behaviors, shifting their diets, and even evolving different shapes, sizes, and colors.(许多动物在这种压力下灭绝了，但一些幸存者正在适应。一些动物表现出前所未见的行为，改变它们的饮食，甚至进化出不同的形状、大小和颜色)”可知，针对人类的影响，一些动物正在进化不同的形状。故选C。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的“The shifts can’t be avoided and are likely permanent: There’s no going back to when wildlife was still completely wild. “There’s no place anywhere on the planet in its original condition.(这种转变是无法避免的，而且可能是永久性的：野生动物完全处于野生状态的时代已经一去不复返了)”可知，人类活动导致地球不再如从前一般了。故选D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段的“According to a 2021 DNA analysis published in the journal Science, that the elephants are born without tusks is no coincidence. After decades of being shot by ivory brokers, the leading elephants in some herds have passed down a trait that prevents the females’ prize possessions from growing in — and helps them avoid being hunted. (根据2021年发表在《科学》杂志上的一项DNA分析，大象出生时没有象牙并非巧合。在被象牙经纪人射杀了几十年之后，一些象群中的领头象已经遗传了一种特性，可以防止母象的宝贵财产生长，帮助它们避免被猎杀)”可推知，这些非洲母象进化成生来就没有象牙，是为了避免被捕杀，从而不会因此灭绝。故选D。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章的主要内容，尤其第一段“We humans have an outsize influence on this planet, and our winged, finned, and four-legged neighbors are in their tough time. Many animals have died out in response to the pressures, but some survivors are adapting. Some animals are showing off never-before-seen behaviors, shifting their diets, and even evolving different shapes, sizes, and colors.(我们人类对这个星球有着巨大的影响，我们有翅膀的、有鳍的和四条腿的邻居正处于艰难时期。许多动物在这种压力下灭绝了，但一些幸存者正在适应。一些动物表现出前所未见的行为，改变它们的饮食，甚至进化出不同的形状、大小和颜色)”可知，本文主要介绍在人类活动的影响下，一些动物正在进化，以避免灭绝。这和科学研究相关。由此推知，本文最有可能出自杂志的科学版块。故选B。

【答案】41. to grow
42. is used
43. for 44. saying
pletely
46. which 47. but
48. villagers
49. permission
50. are
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了英国一个叫做Todmorden的小镇，这里所有的开放式空间都种着可食用的蔬菜和水果，这里的人们在考虑食物问题的同时也在保护着环境。
【详解】1.考查非谓语动词。句意：英格兰的一个小镇正在告诉世界，自己种植食物是很重要的。It be+形容词+to do是固定句型，表示“做……是……”，其中it是形式主语，真正的主语是后面的to do，故填to grow。
2.考查时态和语态。句意：所有的空地都用来种植水果和蔬菜。分析句子结构可知，空处做谓语，句子描述的是客观事实，应用一般现在时，且主语any open space(任何的空地)和动词use(使用)二者之间是被动关系，且主语是单数，应用is used，故填is used。
3.考查固定搭配。句意：每个人都可以免费挑选。for free是固定搭配，表示“免费”，故填for。
4.考查非谓语动词。句意：她种了蔬菜，推倒了花园的围墙，还挂了个牌子，上面写着“请自便！”分析句子结构可知，空处是非谓语动词做后置定语，修饰名词sign(指示牌)，且二者之间是主动关系，所以应用现在分词形式saying，故填saying。
5.考查副词。句意：今天Pam彻底改变了这个小镇。空处应用副词completely修饰动词changed(改变)，意为“完全地”，故填completely。
6.考查定语从句。句意：一个新的城镇诞生了，它被称为“不可思议的可食用的Todmorden”。分析句子结构可知，“__________is called “Incredible Edible Todmorden”是非限制性定语从句，先行词为town(小镇)，在定语从句中做主语，应用关系代词which来引导，故填which。
7.考查连词。句意：许多人知道我们必须改变，但我们如何做到这一点是个问题。分析句子结构可，空前句子“Many people know we have to change”(许多人知道我们必须改变)和空后句子“how we do that is a question”(我们如何做到这一点是个问题)前后是转折关系，应用连词but来连接，表示“但是”，故填but。
8.考查名词单复数。句意：因此，有一天她召集了所有的村民。空处应用名词做gathered(召集)的宾语，表示“村民”应用villager，且由前面的all(所有的)可知，此处应用复数，故填villagers。
9.考查名词。句意：他们没有征求许可。此处应用名词permission做宾语，意为“许可”，且permission表示“许可”时，为不可数名词，故填permission。
10.考查主谓一致。句意：从加拿大到马里，全世界出现了700多个可食用的小镇。此句为there be结构，在此句型中，be动词与其后的名词保持数上的一致，句子描述的是客观事实，应用一般现在时，且be动词后面的名词为towns，是可数名词，此处应用are，故填are。

Last week I compete in the long jump in our school sports meeting. I went all out for a win, and victory did not favor me. Accepting failure was last thing I wanted. It seemed that all your previous efforts had been meaningless. My classmates came to comfort me. “Never give up!” and “You are amazed!” These words were like the warm spring breeze, blew away the dark clouds in my heart. I came to realize the significant of failure. Failure is essentially for us if we want to become stronger, because it not only exercises our minds but makes us to better understand ourselves. This is which I’ve learned in the long jump.
【答案】1.compete→competed
2. and→but
3.last前加the
4.your→my
5.amazed→amazing
6.blew→blowing
7.significant→significance
8.essentially→essential
9.删除to
10.which→what
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。作者讲述了自己参加学校运动会的跳远比赛，虽然自己用了全力，但还是失败了。最终作者明白失败的重要性在于失败不仅锻炼了我们的思想，还让我们更好地了解自己。
【详解】1.考查时态。句意：上周我参加了学校运动会的跳远比赛。结合last week可知，本句的时态应为一般过去时。故compete改为competed。
2.考查连词。句意：我全力以赴去赢得胜利，但胜利并不眷顾我。短语：go all out“全力以赴”，根据句中“victory did not favor me”可知，此处的含义和前文的全力以赴的结果相反，所以逻辑应为转折关系。故and改为but。
3.考查冠词。句意：接受失败是我最不想要的。序数词前要用定冠词。本句中last thing指“仅剩下的事；最终的事”，表示特指。所以last前要用the。故last填加the。
4.考查代词。句意：看起来我之前所有的努力都毫无意义。前文讲述了我的努力没有换来胜利，所以此处指我之前的努力没有意义。故your改为my。
5.考查形容词。句意：我的同学来安慰我，“永不放弃!”和“你太棒了!”形容词amazing“很棒的，了不起的”，用来指事物的性质。形容词amazed“感到吃惊的”，常用来指人的感受。本句中指同学们来安慰我，所以应该是同学们认为我是很棒的。所以amazed改为amazing。
6.考查非谓语动词。句意：这些话就像温暖的春风，吹散了我心中的乌云。分析可知，本句的主句为“These words were like the warm spring breeze”，其后的内容为句子的状语，句子主语these words与动词blow为主谓关系，所以blow要用现在分词blowing。故blew改为blowing。
7.考查名词。句意：我开始意识到失败的重要性。the为冠词，其后要用名词作宾语。significant“重要的”为形容词，名词形式为significance。故significant改为significance。
8.考查形容词。句意：如果我们想变得更强大，失败对我们来说是必不可少的，因为失败不仅锻炼了我们的思想，还让我们更好地了解自己。essentially“必要地，必需地”为副词，结合句中is，所以此处应用其形容词形式essential作表语。故essentially改为essential。
9.考查固定结构。句意同上。短语：make sb. do sth.“使某人做某事”，用省略to的不定式作宾补，所以此处删除better前to。故删除to。
10.考查宾语从句。句意：这是我在跳远中学到的。分析可知，本句为含有宾语从句的复合句。is之后为宾语从句，从句learn“学习”为及物动词后缺少宾语，所以从句的引导词要用what，指我学到的东西。故which改为what。
