【知识点】长对话
【解析】【听力原文】M: That was a really interesting article the tutor recommended about Ellen Ochoa, wasn't it, Bella
W: It certainly was, Tom. I found it particularly interesting to read about a spacewoman. There aren't too many of those around.
M: You're right there!
W: Anyway, I'm sure they'd be just as able as men to cope with all the challenges of the job. What I liked best were the sections which quoted her — I thought she was amazingly good at conveying what it was like to go into space.
M: True. And she's also obviously a very talented scientist.
W: Yes, she did amazing work and I think she sounds as if she must have been a wonderful colleague for the others in her team.
M: Absolutely, Bella! I also found the article interesting in what it said about the requirements for becoming an astronaut. I knew you'd have to have done loads of flight hours as an ordinary aircraft pilot of course. And I suppose it's not that surprising they want people who are good at sports and who aren't either too small or too tall.
W: Mm, well, I was surprised, Tom, that being shorter than the average person was not acceptable. I wouldn't have expected that to be an issue. But I never imagined that you needed to have a post-graduate degree. I don't think I even realised you had to be a graduate.
M: Me neither. I never imagined that. Anyway, she does have an interesting life, doesn't she
W: Yes, Tom, I know. Imagine walking in space. And having to work inside and outside the capsule when you're weightless!
M: Yes, that must be extraordinary. For me I think the most interesting bit would be having to deal with all the little unexpected problems that arise, having to sort things out within your little team. That must be amazing.
W: Well, we could always try to do a bit more research into that sort of area, if you like, Tom. I wonder if Ellen Ochoa's experiences might make a topic for that science coursework we've got to do next term. Or, you know, we could see what we could learn about everyone who's gone into space.
M: Well, I'm not sure about that. I was quite keen to do something on the funding of space research. Anyway, I suppose we could bear it in mind. But what I do fancy doing is going to a series of lectures I've seen advertised on astronauts and how they're portrayed in the cinema and in books.
W: Wow! That sounds brilliant! Do you mind if I come along too
M: Of course not, Bella. It'd be good to do it together.
Questions:
17. What makes Bella admire the astronaut Ellen Ochoa
18. Which of the following surprises Tom
19. What does Tom think is the most interesting part of Ellen's life
20. What do Tom and Bella both now decide to do
【点评】考查细节理解。首先理解题干,其次注意听句子,抓住关键词。
11.问题:是什么让Bella钦佩宇航员Ellen Ochoa?根据" I'm sure they'd be just as able as men to cope with all the challenges of the job. What I liked best were the sections which quoted her — I thought she was amazingly good at conveying what it was like to go into space."我相信他们和男人一样有能力应对这份工作的所有挑战。我最喜欢的是引用她的部分——我认为她非常善于传达进入太空的感觉。故选D。
12.问题:以下哪一项让Tom感到惊讶?问题:Tom认为 Ellen一生中最有趣的部分是什么?根据"But I never imagined that you needed to have a post-graduate degree. I don't think I even realised you had to be a graduate."但我从没想过你需要一个研究生学位。我想我甚至没有意识到你必须是一名毕业生;以及"Me neither. I never imagined that. "我也是。我从来没有想过。故选B。
13.问题:Tom认为 Ellen一生中最有趣的部分是什么?根据"For me I think the most interesting bit would be having to deal with all the little unexpected problems that arise, having to sort things out within your little team. That must be amazing."对我来说,我认为最有趣的一点是必须处理出现的所有意想不到的小问题,必须在你的小团队中解决问题。这一定很神奇。故选C。
14.问题:Tom和Bella现在都决定做什么?根据" For me I think the most interesting bit would be having to deal with all the little unexpected problems that arise, having to sort things out within your little team. That must be amazing."对我来说,我认为最有趣的一点是必须处理出现的所有意想不到的小问题,必须在你的小团队中解决问题。这一定很神奇;以及"we could always try to do a bit more research into that sort of area, if you like, Tom. I wonder if Ellen Ochoa's experiences might make a topic for that science coursework we've got to do next term." Tom,如果你愿意的话,我们可以试着对这类领域做更多的研究。我想知道Ellen Ochoa的经历是否会成为我们下学期要做的科学课程的主题。故选A。

Last Exit: Space
Last Exit:Space, narrated by Werner Herzog, explores the human potential for settling in space and sending people where they've never been before. Since planet Earth is possibly going to hell (地狱) in a handbasket, the film promises to ask the question: where else might we call home Directed by his son Rudolph Herzog, Last Exit:Spacewill be available from March 10 on Discovery.
Gorbachev. Heaven
As leader of the Soviet Union Mikhail Gorbachev was once one of the most powerful people on the planet who governed a landmass so big that it covered 11 time zones. Gorbachev's legacy is a complex one — he oversaw the end of the Cold War but many Russians blame him for the Soviet Union's collapse. The BBC says this potentially fascinating look at one of the most significant figures from inside his own home will be airing in the very near future.
We Met InVirtual Reality
This film from director Joe Hunting beats fresh ground in that it is filmed entirely in virtual reality. Less about the technology itself, it is more an exploration of human connections and how these can develop in the 3D virtual world. Early reviews have been positive following its showing at Sundance. Expect a streaming release in late May this year.
2nd Chance

(2023高二上·月湖月考)阅读理解
The "reading wars," one of the most confusing and disabling conflicts in the history of education, went on heatedly in the 1980s and then peace came. Advocates of phonics (learning by being taught the sound of each letter group) seemed to defeat advocates of whole language (learning by using cues like context and being exposed to much good literature).
Recent events suggest the conflict of complicated concepts is far from over. Teachers, parents and experts appear to agree that phonics is crucial, but what is going on in classrooms is not in agreement with what research studies say is required, which has aroused a national debate over the meaning of the word "phonics. "
Lucy M. Calkins, a professor at Columbia University's Teachers College and a much-respected expert on how to teach reading, has drawn attention with an eight-page essay. Here is part of her argument: "The important thing is to teach kids that they needn't freeze when they come to a hard word, nor skip past it. The important thing is to teach them that they have resources to draw upon, and to use those resources to develop endurance. "
To Calkins'scritics, it is cruel and wasteful to encourage 6-year-olds to look for clues if they don't immediately know the correct sounds. They should work on decoding — knowing the pronunciation of every letter group — until they master it, say the critics, backed by much research.
Calkins'sapproach "is a slow, unreliable way to read words and an inefficient way to develop word recognition skill," Mark S. Seidenberg, a psychologist at the University of Wisconsin, said in a blog post. "Dr. Calkins treats word recognition as a reasoning problem — like solving a puzzle. She is committed to the educational principle that children learn best by discovering how systems work rather than being told. "
Many others share his view. "Children should learn to decode — i. e. ,go from print on the page to words in the mind — not by clever guesswork and inference, but by learning to decode," Daniel Willingham, a psychologist at the University of Virginia, told me. He said the inferences Calkins applauds are "cognitively(认知地) demanding, and readers don't have much endurance for it. … It disturbs the flow of what you're reading, and doing a lot of it gets frustrating. "
Yet a recent survey found that only 22 percent of 670 early-reading teachers are using the approach of phonics and what they mean by phonics is often no more than marking up a worksheet.
Both sides agree that children need to acquire the vocabulary and background information that gives meaning to words. But first, they have to pronounce them correctly to connect the words they have learned to speak.
Calkins said in her essay: "Much of what the phonics people are saying is praiseworthy," but it would be a mistake to teach phonics "at the expense of reading and writing. "
The two sides appear to agree with her on that.
22.Critics of phonics hold the opinion that ____.
A.children should be taught to use context
B.teaching phonics is both boring and useless
C.kids acquire vocabulary in hearing letter groups
D.pronunciation has nothing to do with meaning of words
23.Which of the following statements is Mark S. Seidenberg most likely to agree with
A.Tell me and I will forget; show me and I will remember.
B.Skilled reading is fast and automatic but not deliberative.
C.Word recognition skill should be developed in problem reasoning.
D.Learning to make reasonable inferences is also a way of decoding.
24.It can be inferred from the passage that ____.
A.phonics approach has been proved to be successful
B.children don't shy away from difficulties in reading
C.the two reading approaches might integrate with each other
D.reading and writing are much more important than phonics
25.Which of the following might be the best title of the passage
A.An everlasting reading war among critics
B.From print on the page to words in the mind
C.A battle restarts between phonics, whole language
D.Decoding and inferring confuse early-reading teachers
【答案】22.A
23.B
24.C
25.C
【知识点】推理判断题;细节理解题;学习教育类;议论文;文章大意
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文,讨论了自然拼读法和整体语言法之间的一场战争。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解,推理判断和主旨大意三个题型的考查,是一篇教育类阅读,通读全文,理解文章大意,阅读题目后返回原文阅读并找出与题目相对应的内容,仔细核对,选择符合原文原意的答案,完成后再次阅读并检查。
22.考查细节理解。根据第一段中的"Advocates of phonics (learning by being taught the sound of each letter group) seemed to defeat advocates of whole language (learning by using cues like context and being exposed to much good literature)."自然拼读法的倡导者——通过学习每个字母组的发音来学习,似乎击败了整体语言法的倡议者——通过使用上下文等线索来学习,并接触许多好的文学作品。可知,反对自然拼读的人们认为要通过语境来来学习。故选A。
23.考查推理判断。根据第五段中的"Calkins's approach ‘is a slow, unreliable way to read words and an inefficient way to develop word recognition skill,'"Calkins的方法"是一种缓慢、不可靠的读词方式,也是一种发展单词识别技能的低效方式";以及"Dr. Calkins treats word recognition as a reasoning problem—like solving a puzzle."Calkins博士将单词识别视为一个推理问题,就像解决一个难题一样。可推知,Mark S. Seidenberg会倾向于同意熟练的阅读是快速和自动的,而不是深思熟虑的。故选B。
24.考查推理判断。根据倒数第三段"Both sides agree that children need to acquire the vocabulary and background information that gives meaning to words. But first, they have to pronounce them correctly to connect the words they have learned to speak."双方都同意,孩子们需要掌握赋予单词意义的词汇和背景信息。但首先,他们必须正确发音,以便将所学单词连接起来;以及倒数第二段"Calkins said in her essay: ‘Much of what the phonics people are saying is praiseworthy,' but it would be a mistake to teach phonics ‘at the expense of reading and writing.'"Calkins在她的文章中说:"人们所说的很多语音知识都是值得称赞的",但"以阅读和写作为代价"教授语音知识将是一个错误‘'和最后一段" The two sides appear to agree with her on that. "双方似乎都同意她的观点。可推知,这两种阅读方法可以相互融合。故选C。
25.考查主旨大意。根据第一段中的"Advocates of phonics (learning by being taught the sound of each letter group) seemed to defeat advocates of whole language (learning by using cues like context and being exposed to much good literature)."自然拼读法的倡导者——通过学习每个字母组的发音来学习,似乎击败了整体语言法的倡议者——通过使用上下文等线索来学习,并接触许多好的文学作品;以及第二段中的"Teachers, parents and experts appear to agree that phonics is crucial, but what is going on in classrooms is not in agreement with what research studies say is required, which has aroused a national debate over the meaning of the word ‘phonics.'"教师、家长和专家似乎都同意语音至关重要,但课堂上发生的事情与研究报告所说的不一致,这引发了全国范围内对"语音"一词含义的争论。可知,本文是有关自然拼读法和整体语言法之间的讨论。故选C。
(2023·新高考I卷)阅读理解
On March 7, 1907, the English statistician Francis Galton published a paper which illustrated what has come to be known as the "wisdom of crowds" effect. The experiment of estimation he conducted showed that in some cases, the average of a large number of independent estimates could be quite accurate.
This effect capitalizes on the fact that when people make errors, those errors aren't always the same. Some people will tend to overestimate, and some to underestimate. When enough of these errors are averaged together, they cancel each other out, resulting in a more accurate estimate. If people are similar and tend to make the same errors, then their errors won't cancel each other out. In more technical terms, the wisdom of crowds requires that people's estimates be independent. If for whatever reasons, people's errors become correlated or dependent, the accuracy of the estimate will go down.
But a new study led by Joaquin Navajas offered an interesting twist (转折) on this classic phenomenon. The key finding of the study was that when crowds were further divided into smaller groups that were allowed to have a discussion, the averages from these groups were more accurate than those from an equal number of independent individuals. For instance, the average obtained from the estimates of four discussion groups of five was significantly more accurate than the average obtained from 20 independent individuals.
In a follow-up study with 100 university students, the researchers tried to get a better sense of what the group members actually did in their discussion. Did they tend to go with those most confident about their estimates Did they follow those least willing to change their minds This happened some of the time, but it wasn't the dominant response. Most frequently, the groups reported that they "shared arguments and reasoned together." Somehow, these arguments and reasoning resulted in a global reduction in error. Although the studies led by Navajas have limitations and many questions remain, the potential implications for group discussion and decision-making are enormous.
26.What is paragraph 2 of the text mainly about
A.The methods of estimation.
B.The underlying logic of the effect.
C.The causes of people's errors.
D.The design of Galton's experiment.
27.Navajas' study found that the average accuracy could increase even if
________.
A.the crowds were relatively small
B.there were occasional underestimates
C.individuals did not communicate
D.estimates were not fully independent
28.What did the follow-up study focus on
A.The size of the groups.
B.The dominant members.
C.The discussion process.
D.The individual estimates.
29.What is the author's attitude toward Navajas' studies
A.Unclear.

(2023高二下·越秀月考)阅读理解
The environmental practices of big businesses are shaped by a fundamental fact that offends our sense of justice. A business may maximize the amount of money it makes by damaging the environment and hurting people. When government regulation is effective, and the public is environmentally aware, environmentally clean big businesses may out-compete dirty ones, but the reverse is likely to be true if government regulation is ineffective and the public doesn't care.
It is easy to blame a business for helping itself by hurting other people. But blaming alone is unlikely to produce change. It ignores the fact that businesses are not charities but profit-making companies, and they are under obligation to maximize profits for shareholders by legal means.
Our blaming of businesses also ignores the ultimate responsibility of the public for creating the conditions that let a business profit through destructive environmental policies. In the long run, it is the public, either directly or through its politicians, that has the power to make such destructive policies unprofitable and illegal, and to make sustainable environmental policies profitable.
The public can do that by accusing businesses of harming them. The public may also make their opinion felt by choosing to buy sustainably harvested products; by preferring their governments to award valuable contracts to businesses with a good environmental track record; and by pressing their governments to pass and enforce laws and regulations requiring good environmental practices.
In turn, big businesses can exert powerful pressure on any suppliers that might ignore public or government pressure. For instance, after the US public became concerned about the spread of a disease, transmitted to humans through infected meat, the US government introduced rules demanding that the meat industry abandon practices associated with the risk of the disease spreading. But the meat packers refused to follow these, claiming that they would be too expensive to obey. However, when a fast-food company made the same demands after customer purchases of its hamburgers dropped, the meat industry followed immediately. The public's task is therefore to identify which links in the supply chain are sensitive to public pressure.
Some readers may be disappointed or outraged that I place the ultimate responsibility for business practices harming the public on the public itself. I also believe that the public must accept the necessity for higher prices for products to cover the added costs of sound environmental practices. My views may seem to ignore the belief that businesses should act in accordance with moral principles even if this leads to a reduction in their profits. But I think we have to recognize that, throughout human history, government regulation has arisen precisely because it was found that not only did moral principles need to be made explicit, they also needed to be enforced.
My conclusion is not a moralistic one about who is right or wrong, admirable or selfish. I believe that changes in public attitudes are essential for changes in businesses' environmental practices.
30.The main idea of Paragraph 3 is that environmental damage ______.
A.is the result of ignorance of the public
B.requires political action if it is to be stopped
C.can be prevented by the action of ordinary people
D.can only be stopped by educating business leaders
31.In Paragraph 4,the writer describes ways in which the public can ______ .
A.reduce their own individual impact on the environment
B.learn more about the impact of business on the environment
C.raise awareness of the effects of specific environmental disasters
D.influence the environmental policies of businesses and governments
32.What pressure was given by big business in the case of the disease mentioned in Paragraph 5
A.Meat packers stopped supplying hamburgers to fast-food chains.
B.Meat packers persuaded the government to reduce their expenses.
C.A fast-food company forced their meat suppliers to follow the law.
D.A fast-food company encouraged the government to introduce regulations.
33.What would be the best heading for this passage
A.Will the world survive the threat caused by big businesses
B.How can big businesses be encouraged to be less driven by profit
C.What environmental dangers are caused by the greed of businesses
D.Are big businesses to blame for the damage they cause to the environment

【知识点】主旨大意;细节理解题;段落大意;说明文;社会现象类
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了企业通过破坏环境和伤害人们来获得利益,这是很正常的,但仅仅指责企业是没用的,还需发挥公众的作用和影响力。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解,段落大意和主旨大意三个题型的考查,是一篇社会现象类阅读,首先要仔细阅读短文,掌握大意,然后结合具体的题目,再读短文,从中找出相关信息,就可以确定正确答案。
30.考查段落大意。根据第三段“Our blaming of businesses also ignores the ultimate responsibility of the public for creating the conditions that let a business profit through destructive environmental policies. In the long run, it is the public, either directly or through its politicians, that has the power to make such destructive policies unprofitable and illegal, and to make sustainable environmental policies profitable. ”我们对企业的指责也忽视了公众的最终责任,是他们创造出相应的条件,让企业可以通过破坏环境的政策来赚取利润。长期来看,无论是直接参与也好,通过政客也好,只有公众才有权力让这些破坏性的政策变得无利可图或者违背法律,让可持续的环保政策能够盈利。可知,公众能创造相应条件让企业通过破坏环境的政策来赚取利润,公众也可以通过行动让企业从破坏环境的政策变得无利可图,可知本段主要是讲可以通过普通人的行动来阻止。故选C。
31.考查细节理解。根据第四段“The public can do that by accusing businesses of harming them. The public may also make their opinion felt by choosing to buy sustainably harvested products;by preferring their governments to award valuable contracts to businesses with a good environmental track record;and by pressing their governments to pass and enforce laws and regulations requiring good environmental practices. ”公众可以通过起诉企业伤害他们来实现这一点。公众也可以通过选择购买可持续收获的产品来表达自己的意见;通过选择本国政府将有价值的合同授予有良好环境记录的企业;并通过敦促其政府通过和执行要求良好环境做法的法律和法规。可知,在第四段中,作者描述了公众可以影响企业和政府的环境政策的方式。故选D。
32.考查细节理解。根据第五段中的“In turn, big businesses can exert powerful pressure on any suppliers that might ignore public or government pressure.”反过来,大企业可以对任何忽视公众或政府压力的供应商施加强大压力;以及“For instance, after the US public became concerned about the spread of a disease, transmitted to humans through infected meat, the US government introduced rules demanding that the meat industry abandon practices associated with the risk of the disease spreading. But the meat packers refused to follow these, claiming that they would be too expensive to obey. However, when a fast-food company made the same demands after customer purchases of its hamburgers dropped, the meat industry followed immediately. ”例如,在美国公众开始关注通过受感染的肉类传播给人类的疾病传播后,美国政府食品和药品管理局就出台规定,要求肉制品行业放弃可能涉及疾病传播风险的做法。但是,肉类加工商拒绝遵守这些规定,声称遵守规定的成本太高。然而,当一家大型快餐公司在消费者对其汉堡包的购买量大幅下降之后也提出相应的要求时,肉制品行业在几周的时间里就屈从了。可知,针对提到的疾病,在肉类加工商拒绝遵守这些规定的前提下,大企业给一家快餐公司强迫他们的肉类供应商遵守法律的压力。故选C。
33.考查主旨大意。纵观全文可知,本文介绍了主要写了企业通过破坏环境和伤害人们来获得利益,这是很正常的,但仅仅指责企业是没用的,还需发挥公众的作用和影响力。根据最后一段中的“I believe that changes in public attitudes are essential for changes in businesses'environmental practices.”我认为,公众态度的改变对企业环境实践的改变至关重要。可知,文章论述了企业通过破坏环境和伤害人们来获得利益,这是很正常的,但仅仅指责企业是没用的,还需发挥公众的作用和影响力,“大企业对环境造成的破坏应该受到谴责吗 ”符合本段的主旨。故选D。

Mental Health Crisis Among Teens Demands a New Approach
Since the CDC released its survey results last month showing alarmingly high rates of sadness and depressive thoughts among teens, fingers have been pointed from two sides at the causes of this crisis.  34.  . Others say that today's more secular(世俗的)culture has confused our most vulnerable young people. But neither side seems to grasp the true urgency of the issue.
According to the CDC's findings, more than one in five of the 17,000 high school students surveyed reported mental breakdown. Their rates of sadness and hopelessness are the highest in a decade, reflecting an increasing trend exacerbated by society's isolation(隔离)and stress.  35.  .
Parents as well as teachers and others who have direct contact with children must accept this preventive approach. It is crucial that they not be afraid to ask direct questions about depressive thoughts.  36.  . It is also especially important that parents understand what help is available to their children.
 37.  . For example, we can demand equity equality, which means insurance coverage(保险范围)for behavioral illnesses health issues that is for physical , thus reducing the financial burden. We can also urge our congressmen to fund health programs and expand mental health professions.  38.  . Put the politics aside. There are lives in the balance.
A. And they should resist the false idea that raising a question creates a risk that was not there before.
B. This means that we must put aside our disagreements and approach this issue as a matter of life and death.
C. Some have argued that the climate issue has created an existential threat and accompanying anxiety.
D. Hospitalization may also be appropriate when the person in question shows an immediate danger to themselves.
E. At the macro(宏观的)level, our country can do so much more to help people struggling with mental health problems and their families.
F. It's time to stop blaming and turn our attention to this generation of struggling teenagers.
G. It's time for those who have the power to amplify(放大)their voices and drive change to focus on helping teenagers and families access the help they need.

‘Small Data' Are Also Crucial for Machine Learning
Many people relate "artificial intelligence" with "big data. "There's a reason for that: some of the most prominent AI breakthroughs in the past decade have relied on enormous data sets. Image 39. made great progress in the 2010s thanks to the development of ImageNet, a data set containing millions of images hand sorted into thousands of categories. More recently, GPT-3, a language model, was trained on 40. online texts to produce humanlike text in Jan,
2021.So it is not surprising to see AI being tightly connected with "big data" in the 41. imagination. But AI is not only about large data sets, and research in "small data" approaches has grown extensively over the past decade. The so-called transfer learning serves as an especially 42. example.
Also known as "fine-tuning," transfer learning is helpful in settings where you have 43. data on the task of interest but abundant data on a related problem. You need to first train a model using a big data set and then retrain slightly using a smaller one related to your 44. problem. A research team working on German-language speech recognition, 45. , showed that they could improve their results by starting with an English-language speech model trained on a larger data set. Then, they used transfer learning to 46. that model for a smaller data set of German-language audio.
Small data approaches such as transfer learning are more 47. than more data-intensive methods. They can promote progress in areas where little or no data exist, such as in forecasting natural hazards that occur relatively 48. .In this context, small data approaches will become increasingly important as more organizations look to diversify AI application areas and invest in previously 49. fields.
Despite the progress in research, transfer learning has received relatively little 50. .While many machine learning experts are likely familiar with it at this point, the existence of techniques such as transfer learning does not seem to have reached the awareness of the broader space of policymakers in positions of making important decisions about AI funding and 51. .
As long as the success of small data technique like transfer learning is 52. ,resources can be allocated to support their widespread use. In that case, we can help correct the popular 53. regarding the role of data in AI and foster innovation in new directions.

Stop Asian Hate
During the course of the COVID-19 pandemic, New York City saw a sharp increase in harassment and violence against Asian people and communities, especially Asian elders. Discrimination on the basis of race, national origin, age, and disability, including having or  54.  (perceive) to be exposed to COVID-19, is illegal under the Human Rights Law.  55.  the start of the pandemic, there has been a significant, troubling increase in anti-Asian hate crimes and bias incidents. These have been verbal attacks, physical and even things like the tragic shooting of eight Asian-American spa technicians in Atlanta, Georgia. Beginning in February of 2020, we received a sevenfold increase in reports of anti-Asian harassment, discrimination, and violence. It is crucial to note that hate crimes and bias incidents have been found to be vastly under-reported  56.  these numbers reflect just a fraction.
We all want to live in a world that is free from prejudice and 57.  everyone has the right to be proud of who they are. Unfortunately, this is a pretty tough ask. We've joined forces with other establishments to bring you some resources of the movement of Stop Asian Hate,  58.  the aim is to an end to the rising tide of racism against east and south east asian(ESEA) people.
Since the pandemic, something has been made nasty in the media by comments from Donald Trump calling it "the China virus", and ESEA people all over the world have found that their lives have been turned upside down. In the wake of the tragic deaths in the US and several studies  59.  (reveal) the real increase of racism against this minority, the Stop Asian Hate movement started a conversation about what is going on. You can find out all about it on this website, and get resources and support to help you if you are dealing with the impacts  60.  racism.
Working towards a world where no racism exists is always important to us, and will always be something  61.  need to strive towards. The thing is, a lot of conversations around racism fail to distinguish between the multiple groups of people who are affected, and the issues  62.  (face) by ESEA people will be completely different to other people of colour.
 63.  the growth of attacks and hate crimes still on the rise, we want to give you the tools to be able to understand the value and necessity of our voice, and how to stand up and fight back.

【知识点】新闻报道类
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇新闻报道,报道了疫情期间,美国针对亚洲人的仇恨犯罪和偏见事件显著增加,文章的发布者开展了Stop Asian Hate运动,希望能给受到歧视的亚洲人帮助。
【点评】考查语法填空,本题考点涉及非谓语动词,介词,连词,定语从句,代词以及固定搭配等多个知识点的考查,要求考生在理解细节信息的基础上,进一步根据上下文的逻辑关系,并结合相关语法知识,进行分析推理,从而写出正确的单词形式。
54.句意:根据《人权法》,基于种族、国籍、年龄和残疾的歧视,包括曾经或被认为接触过COVID-19,是非法的。perceive,其逻辑主语是人,两者是被动关系,应该用被动语态,又此处和前文的having并列,应该用动名词形式,所以应该用动名词的被动式。故填being perceived。
55.句意:自疫情开始以来,针对亚洲人的仇恨犯罪和偏见事件出现了令人不安的显著增加。根据句意可知,表达"自…以来"之意,应用since,位于句首,首字母应大写。故填Since。
56.句意:值得注意的是,仇恨犯罪和偏见事件被发现严重漏报,因此这些数字只反映了一小部分。分析句子结构可知,"It is crucial to note that hate crimes and bias incidents have been found to be vastly under-reported"和"these numbers reflect just a fraction"两句话构成因果关系,所以应该用连词so连接。故填so。
57.句意:我们都希望生活在一个没有偏见的世界,每个人都有权利为自己感到自豪。分析句子结构可知,and连接的是两个定语从句修饰world,所以空处引导的是定语从句,从句中结构完整,先行词是world,在从句中做地点状语,应该用where引导。故填where。
58.句意:我们已经与其他机构联手,为您带来一些停止亚洲仇恨运动的资源,其目的是结束对东亚和东南亚人(ESEA)的种族主义浪潮。分析句子结构可知,空处引导定语从句,先行词是movement,从句中aim缺少定语,因为前有the修饰,不能用whose,引导,所以应该用of which引导。故填of which。
59.句意:在美国发生了几起悲惨的死亡事件,几项研究揭示了针对这一少数族裔的种族主义的真实增长之后,"停止亚洲仇恨"(Stop Asian Hate)运动就正在发生的事情展开了一场对话。分析句子结构可知,本句已有谓语动词started,所以reveal用非谓语形式,逻辑主语是studies,两者间是主动关系,描述的是已发生的事,所以用现在分词,故填revealing。
60.句意:你可以在这个网站上找到关于它的一切,如果你正在处理种族主义的影响,你可以获得资源和支持来帮助你。impact of ...固定短语,"......(产生)的影响",故填of。
61.句意:努力建设一个不存在种族主义的世界对我们来说总是很重要的,也是我们需要努力实现的目标。分析句子结构可知,空处所在句子是定语从句,关系代词在从句中做宾语而省略,所以从句中缺少主语,根据句意可知,表达的是"我们需要努力"之意。故填we。
62.句意:问题是,很多关于种族主义的对话都没有区分受影响的多个群体,而且ESEA人面临的问题与其他有色人种完全不同。分析句子结构可知,本句是who引导的定语从句,and引导的并列句,后句已有谓语动词will be,所以face应该用非谓语动词形式,逻辑主语是issues,两者间是被动关系,应该用过去分词表被动。故填faced。
63.句意:随着攻击和仇恨犯罪的增长,我们希望给你一些工具,让你能够理解我们声音的价值和必要性,以及如何站出来反击。根据句意可知,此处表达"随着攻击和仇恨犯罪的增长"之意,作伴随状语,应该用with引导,位于句首,首字母应大写。故填With。

Dear fellow students,
It is reported that almost 75 kinds of wild animals are disappearing in the world each day. As is known to all, animals are of great importance to us human beings. As a consequence, I, on behalf of the Students' Union, am sincerely appealing you to make joint efforts to put an end to this situation.
First and foremost, it's better to arouse our awareness of the importance of preserving wildlife. In addition, it is suggested that strict laws should be made to ban people from hunting and trading. Last but not least, more natural reserves are expected to be set up so that animals can live in peace and safety.

I neededto do something in my community (社区) in order to complete the community service hours required to graduate from high school. Some of my friends had signed up tospend time at a soup kitchen, so I did, too. It seemed like a good thing to do.
I thought that we would just be passing out dinners to those in need, but I found out we would be doing everything from preparing to serving the dinner. We began preparing the food, from mixing salad dressing to separating frozen meat. Much still needed to be done before dinner was served, but already outside the building manyhomelesspeople were gathering. It wasn't until a couple of hours later that we opened the doors and began serving dinner.
As the line of people came toward me, I got a little scared. I'd come face to face with the homeless: How should I act How would they treat me Would they hate me for having more than they did While some of the people looked very friendly, some of them looked so dangerous. I didn't have too much time to worry about it. I was assigned (分配) to serve the salad with the ladynext to me. She smiled at me and said if I needed help, she'd be right there, which I found quite comforting.
I had never seen so many people wanting food. They were of all ages and nationalities. Most of them woreclothesthat were torn and dirty. Some looked like they had tally given up onlife, while others seemed to be making the best of the situation, smiling and joking. Some were better off than others, but they all needed a good meal and a warm place toeat. It saddened me to think of how many people there were who didn't have a place to call home and the only food they got came from a soup kitchen.

Paragraph 2:
I was so happy that I had earned my service hours in this way.
【答案】One possible version:
As they came in my direction, I put on my brightest and happiest smile. I wanted to make them know that I was really anxious to help them. To my relief, they smiled politely back at me when they saw my smile, and I could see their exhaustion in their eyes. I wanted to know what they were going through and I was desperate to know what I could do for them. They nodded gratefully as I pushed my spoon into the pot and took a large spoonful and poured it into their bowls.
I was so happy that I had earned my service hours in this way. This experience made me realize that there are so many people in this world who need our help. It also made me realize that our small act of kindness can make them feel warm and make a great difference to them. I will never forget the way they looked at me when they were given food.

We've dug deep to find 4 of the most exciting documentary films coming to a screen near you in 2022.
Last Exit: Space
Last Exit:Space, narrated by Werner Herzog, explores the human potential for settling in space and sending people where they've never been before. Since planet Earth is possibly going to hell (地狱) in a handbasket, the film promises to ask the question: where else might we call home Directed by his son Rudolph Herzog, Last Exit:Spacewill be available from March 10 on Discovery.
Gorbachev. Heaven
As leader of the Soviet Union Mikhail Gorbachev was once one of the most powerful people on the planet who governed a landmass so big that it covered 11 time zones. Gorbachev's legacy is a complex one — he oversaw the end of the Cold War but many Russians blame him for the Soviet Union's collapse. The BBC says this potentially fascinating look at one of the most significant figures from inside his own home will be airing in the very near future.

The "reading wars," one of the most confusing and disabling conflicts in the history of education, went on heatedly in the 1980s and then peace came. Advocates of phonics (learning by being taught the sound of each letter group) seemed to defeat advocates of whole language (learning by using cues like context and being exposed to much good literature).
Recent events suggest the conflict of complicated concepts is far from over. Teachers, parents and experts appear to agree that phonics is crucial, but what is going on in classrooms is not in agreement with what research studies say is required, which has aroused a national debate over the meaning of the word "phonics. "
Lucy M. Calkins, a professor at Columbia University's Teachers College and a much-respected expert on how to teach reading, has drawn attention with an eight-page essay. Here is part of her argument: "The important thing is to teach kids that they needn't freeze when they come to a hard word, nor skip past it. The important thing is to teach them that they have resources to draw upon, and to use those resources to develop endurance. "
To Calkins'scritics, it is cruel and wasteful to encourage 6-year-olds to look for clues if they don't immediately know the correct sounds. They should work on decoding — knowing the pronunciation of every letter group — until they master it, say the critics, backed by much research.
Calkins'sapproach "is a slow, unreliable way to read words and an inefficient way to develop word recognition skill," Mark S. Seidenberg, a psychologist at the University of Wisconsin, said in a blog post. "Dr. Calkins treats word recognition as a reasoning problem — like solving a puzzle. She is committed to the educational principle that children learn best by discovering how systems work rather than being told. "
Many others share his view. "Children should learn to decode — i. e. ,go from print on the page to words in the mind — not by clever guesswork and inference, but by learning to decode," Daniel Willingham, a psychologist at the University of Virginia, told me. He said the inferences Calkins applauds are "cognitively(认知地) demanding, and readers don't have much endurance for it. … It disturbs the flow of what you're reading, and doing a lot of it gets frustrating. "
Yet a recent survey found that only 22 percent of 670 early-reading teachers are using the approach of phonics and what they mean by phonics is often no more than marking up a worksheet.
Both sides agree that children need to acquire the vocabulary and background information that gives meaning to words. But first, they have to pronounce them correctly to connect the words they have learned to speak.
Calkins said in her essay: "Much of what the phonics people are saying is praiseworthy," but it would be a mistake to teach phonics "at the expense of reading and writing. "
The two sides appear to agree with her on that.
22.Critics of phonics hold the opinion that ____.
A.children should be taught to use context
B.teaching phonics is both boring and useless
C.kids acquire vocabulary in hearing letter groups
D.pronunciation has nothing to do with meaning of words
23.Which of the following statements is Mark S. Seidenberg most likely to agree with
A.Tell me and I will forget; show me and I will remember.
B.Skilled reading is fast and automatic but not deliberative.
C.Word recognition skill should be developed in problem reasoning.
D.Learning to make reasonable inferences is also a way of decoding.
24.It can be inferred from the passage that ____.
A.phonics approach has been proved to be successful
B.children don't shy away from difficulties in reading
C.the two reading approaches might integrate with each other
D.reading and writing are much more important than phonics
25.Which of the following might be the best title of the passage
A.An everlasting reading war among critics
B.From print on the page to words in the mind
C.A battle restarts between phonics, whole language
D.Decoding and inferring confuse early-reading teachers

On March 7, 1907, the English statistician Francis Galton published a paper which illustrated what has come to be known as the "wisdom of crowds" effect. The experiment of estimation he conducted showed that in some cases, the average of a large number of independent estimates could be quite accurate.
This effect capitalizes on the fact that when people make errors, those errors aren't always the same. Some people will tend to overestimate, and some to underestimate. When enough of these errors are averaged together, they cancel each other out, resulting in a more accurate estimate. If people are similar and tend to make the same errors, then their errors won't cancel each other out. In more technical terms, the wisdom of crowds requires that people's estimates be independent. If for whatever reasons, people's errors become correlated or dependent, the accuracy of the estimate will go down.
But a new study led by Joaquin Navajas offered an interesting twist (转折) on this classic phenomenon. The key finding of the study was that when crowds were further divided into smaller groups that were allowed to have a discussion, the averages from these groups were more accurate than those from an equal number of independent individuals. For instance, the average obtained from the estimates of four discussion groups of five was significantly more accurate than the average obtained from 20 independent individuals.
In a follow-up study with 100 university students, the researchers tried to get a better sense of what the group members actually did in their discussion. Did they tend to go with those most confident about their estimates Did they follow those least willing to change their minds This happened some of the time, but it wasn't the dominant response. Most frequently, the groups reported that they "shared arguments and reasoned together." Somehow, these arguments and reasoning resulted in a global reduction in error. Although the studies led by Navajas have limitations and many questions remain, the potential implications for group discussion and decision-making are enormous.
26.What is paragraph 2 of the text mainly about
A.The methods of estimation.
B.The underlying logic of the effect.
C.The causes of people's errors.
D.The design of Galton's experiment.
27.Navajas' study found that the average accuracy could increase even if
________.
A.the crowds were relatively small
B.there were occasional underestimates
C.individuals did not communicate
D.estimates were not fully independent
28.What did the follow-up study focus on
A.The size of the groups.
B.The dominant members.
C.The discussion process.
D.The individual estimates.
29.What is the author's attitude toward Navajas' studies
A.Unclear.
B.Dismissive.
C.Doubtful.
D.Approving.

The environmental practices of big businesses are shaped by a fundamental fact that offends our sense of justice. A business may maximize the amount of money it makes by damaging the environment and hurting people. When government regulation is effective, and the public is environmentally aware, environmentally clean big businesses may out-compete dirty ones, but the reverse is likely to be true if government regulation is ineffective and the public doesn't care.
It is easy to blame a business for helping itself by hurting other people. But blaming alone is unlikely to produce change. It ignores the fact that businesses are not charities but profit-making companies, and they are under obligation to maximize profits for shareholders by legal means.
Our blaming of businesses also ignores the ultimate responsibility of the public for creating the conditions that let a business profit through destructive environmental policies. In the long run, it is the public, either directly or through its politicians, that has the power to make such destructive policies unprofitable and illegal, and to make sustainable environmental policies profitable.
The public can do that by accusing businesses of harming them. The public may also make their opinion felt by choosing to buy sustainably harvested products; by preferring their governments to award valuable contracts to businesses with a good environmental track record; and by pressing their governments to pass and enforce laws and regulations requiring good environmental practices.
In turn, big businesses can exert powerful pressure on any suppliers that might ignore public or government pressure. For instance, after the US public became concerned about the spread of a disease, transmitted to humans through infected meat, the US government introduced rules demanding that the meat industry abandon practices associated with the risk of the disease spreading. But the meat packers refused to follow these, claiming that they would be too expensive to obey. However, when a fast-food company made the same demands after customer purchases of its hamburgers dropped, the meat industry followed immediately. The public's task is therefore to identify which links in the supply chain are sensitive to public pressure.
Some readers may be disappointed or outraged that I place the ultimate responsibility for business practices harming the public on the public itself. I also believe that the public must accept the necessity for higher prices for products to cover the added costs of sound environmental practices. My views may seem to ignore the belief that businesses should act in accordance with moral principles even if this leads to a reduction in their profits. But I think we have to recognize that, throughout human history, government regulation has arisen precisely because it was found that not only did moral principles need to be made explicit, they also needed to be enforced.
My conclusion is not a moralistic one about who is right or wrong, admirable or selfish. I believe that changes in public attitudes are essential for changes in businesses' environmental practices.
30.The main idea of Paragraph 3 is that environmental damage ______.
A.is the result of ignorance of the public
B.requires political action if it is to be stopped
C.can be prevented by the action of ordinary people
D.can only be stopped by educating business leaders
31.In Paragraph 4,the writer describes ways in which the public can ______ .
A.reduce their own individual impact on the environment
B.learn more about the impact of business on the environment
C.raise awareness of the effects of specific environmental disasters
D.influence the environmental policies of businesses and governments
32.What pressure was given by big business in the case of the disease mentioned in Paragraph 5
A.Meat packers stopped supplying hamburgers to fast-food chains.
B.Meat packers persuaded the government to reduce their expenses.
C.A fast-food company forced their meat suppliers to follow the law.
D.A fast-food company encouraged the government to introduce regulations.
33.What would be the best heading for this passage
A.Will the world survive the threat caused by big businesses
B.How can big businesses be encouraged to be less driven by profit
C.What environmental dangers are caused by the greed of businesses
D.Are big businesses to blame for the damage they cause to the environment

Mental Health Crisis Among Teens Demands a New Approach
Since the CDC released its survey results last month showing alarmingly high rates of sadness and depressive thoughts among teens, fingers have been pointed from two sides at the causes of this crisis.  34.  . Others say that today's more secular(世俗的)culture has confused our most vulnerable young people. But neither side seems to grasp the true urgency of the issue.
According to the CDC's findings, more than one in five of the 17,000 high school students surveyed reported mental breakdown. Their rates of sadness and hopelessness are the highest in a decade, reflecting an increasing trend exacerbated by society's isolation(隔离)and stress.  35.  .
Parents as well as teachers and others who have direct contact with children must accept this preventive approach. It is crucial that they not be afraid to ask direct questions about depressive thoughts.  36.  . It is also especially important that parents understand what help is available to their children.
 37.  . For example, we can demand equity equality, which means insurance coverage(保险范围)for behavioral illnesses health issues that is for physical , thus reducing the financial burden. We can also urge our congressmen to fund health programs and expand mental health professions.  38.  . Put the politics aside. There are lives in the balance.
A. And they should resist the false idea that raising a question creates a risk that was not there before.
B. This means that we must put aside our disagreements and approach this issue as a matter of life and death.
C. Some have argued that the climate issue has created an existential threat and accompanying anxiety.
D. Hospitalization may also be appropriate when the person in question shows an immediate danger to themselves.
E. At the macro(宏观的)level, our country can do so much more to help people struggling with mental health problems and their families.
F. It's time to stop blaming and turn our attention to this generation of struggling teenagers.
G. It's time for those who have the power to amplify(放大)their voices and drive change to focus on helping teenagers and families access the help they need.

‘Small Data' Are Also Crucial for Machine Learning
Many people relate "artificial intelligence" with "big data. "There's a reason for that: some of the most prominent AI breakthroughs in the past decade have relied on enormous data sets. Image 39. made great progress in the 2010s thanks to the development of ImageNet, a data set containing millions of images hand sorted into thousands of categories. More recently, GPT-3, a language model, was trained on 40. online texts to produce humanlike text in Jan,
2021.So it is not surprising to see AI being tightly connected with "big data" in the 41. imagination. But AI is not only about large data sets, and research in "small data" approaches has grown extensively over the past decade. The so-called transfer learning serves as an especially 42. example.
Also known as "fine-tuning," transfer learning is helpful in settings where you have 43. data on the task of interest but abundant data on a related problem. You need to first train a model using a big data set and then retrain slightly using a smaller one related to your 44. problem. A research team working on German-language speech recognition, 45. , showed that they could improve their results by starting with an English-language speech model trained on a larger data set. Then, they used transfer learning to 46. that model for a smaller data set of German-language audio.
Small data approaches such as transfer learning are more 47. than more data-intensive methods. They can promote progress in areas where little or no data exist, such as in forecasting natural hazards that occur relatively 48. .In this context, small data approaches will become increasingly important as more organizations look to diversify AI application areas and invest in previously 49. fields.
Despite the progress in research, transfer learning has received relatively little 50. .While many machine learning experts are likely familiar with it at this point, the existence of techniques such as transfer learning does not seem to have reached the awareness of the broader space of policymakers in positions of making important decisions about AI funding and 51. .
As long as the success of small data technique like transfer learning is 52. ,resources can be allocated to support their widespread use. In that case, we can help correct the popular 53. regarding the role of data in AI and foster innovation in new directions.

Stop Asian Hate
During the course of the COVID-19 pandemic, New York City saw a sharp increase in harassment and violence against Asian people and communities, especially Asian elders. Discrimination on the basis of race, national origin, age, and disability, including having or  54.  (perceive) to be exposed to COVID-19, is illegal under the Human Rights Law.  55.  the start of the pandemic, there has been a significant, troubling increase in anti-Asian hate crimes and bias incidents. These have been verbal attacks, physical and even things like the tragic shooting of eight Asian-American spa technicians in Atlanta, Georgia.

Since the pandemic, something has been made nasty in the media by comments from Donald Trump calling it "the China virus", and ESEA people all over the world have found that their lives have been turned upside down. In the wake of the tragic deaths in the US and several studies  59.

Working towards a world where no racism exists is always important to us, and will always be something  61.  need to strive towards.

Dear fellow students,

65.(2023高二上·月湖月考)阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
I neededto do something in my community (社区) in order to complete the community service hours required to graduate from high school. Some of my friends had signed up tospend time at a soup kitchen, so I did, too. It seemed like a good thing to do.
I thought that we would just be passing out dinners to those in need, but I found out we would be doing everything from preparing to serving the dinner. We began preparing the food, from mixing salad dressing to separating frozen meat. Much still needed to be done before dinner was served, but already outside the building manyhomelesspeople were gathering. It wasn't until a couple of hours later that we opened the doors and began serving dinner.
As the line of people came toward me, I got a little scared. I'd come face to face with the homeless: How should I act How would they treat me Would they hate me for having more than they did While some of the people looked very friendly, some of them looked so dangerous. I didn't have too much time to worry about it. I was assigned (分配) to serve the salad with the ladynext to me. She smiled at me and said if I needed help, she'd be right there, which I found quite comforting.
I had never seen so many people wanting food. They were of all ages and nationalities. Most of them woreclothesthat were torn and dirty. Some looked like they had tally given up onlife, while others seemed to be making the best of the situation, smiling and joking. Some were better off than others, but they all needed a good meal and a warm place toeat. It saddened me to think of how many people there were who didn't have a place to call home and the only food they got came from a soup kitchen.

【解析】【听力原文】M: That was a really interesting article the tutor recommended about Ellen Ochoa, wasn't it, Bella
W: It certainly was, Tom. I found it particularly interesting to read about a spacewoman. There aren't too many of those around.
M: You're right there!
W: Anyway, I'm sure they'd be just as able as men to cope with all the challenges of the job. What I liked best were the sections which quoted her — I thought she was amazingly good at conveying what it was like to go into space.
M: True. And she's also obviously a very talented scientist.
W: Yes, she did amazing work and I think she sounds as if she must have been a wonderful colleague for the others in her team.
M: Absolutely, Bella! I also found the article interesting in what it said about the requirements for becoming an astronaut. I knew you'd have to have done loads of flight hours as an ordinary aircraft pilot of course. And I suppose it's not that surprising they want people who are good at sports and who aren't either too small or too tall.
W: Mm, well, I was surprised, Tom, that being shorter than the average person was not acceptable. I wouldn't have expected that to be an issue. But I never imagined that you needed to have a post-graduate degree. I don't think I even realised you had to be a graduate.
M: Me neither. I never imagined that. Anyway, she does have an interesting life, doesn't she
W: Yes, Tom, I know. Imagine walking in space. And having to work inside and outside the capsule when you're weightless!
M: Yes, that must be extraordinary. For me I think the most interesting bit would be having to deal with all the little unexpected problems that arise, having to sort things out within your little team. That must be amazing.
W: Well, we could always try to do a bit more research into that sort of area, if you like, Tom. I wonder if Ellen Ochoa's experiences might make a topic for that science coursework we've got to do next term. Or, you know, we could see what we could learn about everyone who's gone into space.
M: Well, I'm not sure about that. I was quite keen to do something on the funding of space research. Anyway, I suppose we could bear it in mind. But what I do fancy doing is going to a series of lectures I've seen advertised on astronauts and how they're portrayed in the cinema and in books.
W: Wow! That sounds brilliant! Do you mind if I come along too
M: Of course not, Bella. It'd be good to do it together.
Questions:
17. What makes Bella admire the astronaut Ellen Ochoa
18. Which of the following surprises Tom
19. What does Tom think is the most interesting part of Ellen's life
20. What do Tom and Bella both now decide to do

12.问题:以下哪一项让Tom感到惊讶?问题:Tom认为 Ellen一生中最有趣的部分是什么?根据"But I never imagined that you needed to have a post-graduate degree. I don't think I even realised you had to be a graduate."但我从没想过你需要一个研究生学位。我想我甚至没有意识到你必须是一名毕业生;以及"Me neither. I never imagined that. "我也是。我从来没有想过。故选B。
13.问题:Tom认为 Ellen一生中最有趣的部分是什么?根据"For me I think the most interesting bit would be having to deal with all the little unexpected problems that arise, having to sort things out within your little team. That must be amazing."对我来说,我认为最有趣的一点是必须处理出现的所有意想不到的小问题,必须在你的小团队中解决问题。这一定很神奇。故选C。

That must be amazing."对我来说,我认为最有趣的一点是必须处理出现的所有意想不到的小问题,必须在你的小团队中解决问题。这一定很神奇;以及"we could always try to do a bit more research into that sort of area, if you like, Tom. I wonder if Ellen Ochoa's experiences might make a topic for that science coursework we've got to do next term." Tom,如果你愿意的话,我们可以试着对这类领域做更多的研究。我想知道Ellen Ochoa的经历是否会成为我们下学期要做的科学课程的主题。故选A。

Besides powerful wind and lots of rain, it has already caused the ground to break apart, sending huge amounts of dirt and rocks down the hills. These events have caused the most damage. A lot of homes are buried, and many people are missing. If you live in an unsafe area, please leave your home immediately! Rising water is also expected after the storm has passed.

22.考查细节理解。根据第一段中的"Advocates of phonics (learning by being taught the sound of each letter group) seemed to defeat advocates of whole language (learning by using cues like context and being exposed to much good literature)."自然拼读法的倡导者——通过学习每个字母组的发音来学习,似乎击败了整体语言法的倡议者——通过使用上下文等线索来学习,并接触许多好的文学作品。可知,反对自然拼读的人们认为要通过语境来来学习。故选A。
23.考查推理判断。根据第五段中的"Calkins's approach ‘is a slow, unreliable way to read words and an inefficient way to develop word recognition skill,'"Calkins的方法"是一种缓慢、不可靠的读词方式,也是一种发展单词识别技能的低效方式";以及"Dr. Calkins treats word recognition as a reasoning problem—like solving a puzzle."Calkins博士将单词识别视为一个推理问题,就像解决一个难题一样。可推知,Mark S. Seidenberg会倾向于同意熟练的阅读是快速和自动的,而不是深思熟虑的。故选B。

But first, they have to pronounce them correctly to connect the words they have learned to speak."双方都同意,孩子们需要掌握赋予单词意义的词汇和背景信息。但首先,他们必须正确发音,以便将所学单词连接起来;以及倒数第二段"Calkins said in her essay: ‘Much of what the phonics people are saying is praiseworthy,' but it would be a mistake to teach phonics ‘at the expense of reading and writing.'"Calkins在她的文章中说:"人们所说的很多语音知识都是值得称赞的",但"以阅读和写作为代价"教授语音知识将是一个错误‘'和最后一段" The two sides appear to agree with her on that. "双方似乎都同意她的观点。可推知,这两种阅读方法可以相互融合。故选C。
25.考查主旨大意。根据第一段中的"Advocates of phonics (learning by being taught the sound of each letter group) seemed to defeat advocates of whole language (learning by using cues like context and being exposed to much good literature)."自然拼读法的倡导者——通过学习每个字母组的发音来学习,似乎击败了整体语言法的倡议者——通过使用上下文等线索来学习,并接触许多好的文学作品;以及第二段中的"Teachers, parents and experts appear to agree that phonics is crucial, but what is going on in classrooms is not in agreement with what research studies say is required, which has aroused a national debate over the meaning of the word ‘phonics.'"教师、家长和专家似乎都同意语音至关重要,但课堂上发生的事情与研究报告所说的不一致,这引发了全国范围内对"语音"一词含义的争论。可知,本文是有关自然拼读法和整体语言法之间的讨论。故选C。

26.段落大意题。根据第二段中的"This effect capitalizes on the fact……这种效应利用了事实……"、"Some people will tend to overestimate, and some to underestimate有些人倾向于高估,有些人倾向于低估"和"hen enough of these errors are averaged together然后把足够多的误差平均起来"以及"If people are similar and tend to make the same errors如果人们是相似的,容易犯同样的错误",可知该段落主要是探讨了一些假设和推断,结合选项,可知即是这种效果的潜在逻辑,故选B。
27.细节理解题。根据"The key finding of the study was that when crowds were further divided into smaller groups that were allowed to have a discussion, the averages from these groups were more accurate than those from an equal number of independent individuals这项研究的关键发现是,当人群被进一步分成更小的群体并允许进行讨论时,这些群体的平均值比同样数量的独立个体的平均值更准确",可知即使估计值不是完全独立的,平均精度也会提高,故选D。
28.细节理解题。根据最后一段中的"In a follow-up study with 100 university students, the researchers tried to get a better sense of what the group members actually did in their discussion在对100名大学生的后续研究中,研究人员试图更好地了解小组成员在讨论中实际做了什么",可知后续研究的焦点是讨论的过程,故选C。

【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解,段落大意和主旨大意三个题型的考查,是一篇社会现象类阅读,首先要仔细阅读短文,掌握大意,然后结合具体的题目,再读短文,从中找出相关信息,就可以确定正确答案。
30.考查段落大意。根据第三段“Our blaming of businesses also ignores the ultimate responsibility of the public for creating the conditions that let a business profit through destructive environmental policies. In the long run, it is the public, either directly or through its politicians, that has the power to make such destructive policies unprofitable and illegal, and to make sustainable environmental policies profitable. ”我们对企业的指责也忽视了公众的最终责任,是他们创造出相应的条件,让企业可以通过破坏环境的政策来赚取利润。长期来看,无论是直接参与也好,通过政客也好,只有公众才有权力让这些破坏性的政策变得无利可图或者违背法律,让可持续的环保政策能够盈利。可知,公众能创造相应条件让企业通过破坏环境的政策来赚取利润,公众也可以通过行动让企业从破坏环境的政策变得无利可图,可知本段主要是讲可以通过普通人的行动来阻止。故选C。
31.考查细节理解。根据第四段“The public can do that by accusing businesses of harming them. The public may also make their opinion felt by choosing to buy sustainably harvested products;by preferring their governments to award valuable contracts to businesses with a good environmental track record;and by pressing their governments to pass and enforce laws and regulations requiring good environmental practices. ”公众可以通过起诉企业伤害他们来实现这一点。公众也可以通过选择购买可持续收获的产品来表达自己的意见;通过选择本国政府将有价值的合同授予有良好环境记录的企业;并通过敦促其政府通过和执行要求良好环境做法的法律和法规。可知,在第四段中,作者描述了公众可以影响企业和政府的环境政策的方式。故选D。
32.考查细节理解。根据第五段中的“In turn, big businesses can exert powerful pressure on any suppliers that might ignore public or government pressure.”反过来,大企业可以对任何忽视公众或政府压力的供应商施加强大压力;以及“For instance, after the US public became concerned about the spread of a disease, transmitted to humans through infected meat, the US government introduced rules demanding that the meat industry abandon practices associated with the risk of the disease spreading. But the meat packers refused to follow these, claiming that they would be too expensive to obey. However, when a fast-food company made the same demands after customer purchases of its hamburgers dropped, the meat industry followed immediately. ”例如,在美国公众开始关注通过受感染的肉类传播给人类的疾病传播后,美国政府食品和药品管理局就出台规定,要求肉制品行业放弃可能涉及疾病传播风险的做法。但是,肉类加工商拒绝遵守这些规定,声称遵守规定的成本太高。然而,当一家大型快餐公司在消费者对其汉堡包的购买量大幅下降之后也提出相应的要求时,肉制品行业在几周的时间里就屈从了。可知,针对提到的疾病,在肉类加工商拒绝遵守这些规定的前提下,大企业给一家快餐公司强迫他们的肉类供应商遵守法律的压力。故选C。
33.考查主旨大意。纵观全文可知,本文介绍了主要写了企业通过破坏环境和伤害人们来获得利益,这是很正常的,但仅仅指责企业是没用的,还需发挥公众的作用和影响力。根据最后一段中的“I believe that changes in public attitudes are essential for changes in businesses'environmental practices.”我认为,公众态度的改变对企业环境实践的改变至关重要。可知,文章论述了企业通过破坏环境和伤害人们来获得利益,这是很正常的,但仅仅指责企业是没用的,还需发挥公众的作用和影响力,“大企业对环境造成的破坏应该受到谴责吗 ”符合本段的主旨。故选D。

【知识点】新闻报道类
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇新闻报道,报道了疫情期间,美国针对亚洲人的仇恨犯罪和偏见事件显著增加,文章的发布者开展了Stop Asian Hate运动,希望能给受到歧视的亚洲人帮助。
【点评】考查语法填空,本题考点涉及非谓语动词,介词,连词,定语从句,代词以及固定搭配等多个知识点的考查,要求考生在理解细节信息的基础上,进一步根据上下文的逻辑关系,并结合相关语法知识,进行分析推理,从而写出正确的单词形式。
54.句意:根据《人权法》,基于种族、国籍、年龄和残疾的歧视,包括曾经或被认为接触过COVID-19,是非法的。perceive,其逻辑主语是人,两者是被动关系,应该用被动语态,又此处和前文的having并列,应该用动名词形式,所以应该用动名词的被动式。故填being perceived。
55.句意:自疫情开始以来,针对亚洲人的仇恨犯罪和偏见事件出现了令人不安的显著增加。根据句意可知,表达"自…以来"之意,应用since,位于句首,首字母应大写。故填Since。
56.句意:值得注意的是,仇恨犯罪和偏见事件被发现严重漏报,因此这些数字只反映了一小部分。分析句子结构可知,"It is crucial to note that hate crimes and bias incidents have been found to be vastly under-reported"和"these numbers reflect just a fraction"两句话构成因果关系,所以应该用连词so连接。故填so。
57.句意:我们都希望生活在一个没有偏见的世界,每个人都有权利为自己感到自豪。分析句子结构可知,and连接的是两个定语从句修饰world,所以空处引导的是定语从句,从句中结构完整,先行词是world,在从句中做地点状语,应该用where引导。故填where。
58.句意:我们已经与其他机构联手,为您带来一些停止亚洲仇恨运动的资源,其目的是结束对东亚和东南亚人(ESEA)的种族主义浪潮。分析句子结构可知,空处引导定语从句,先行词是movement,从句中aim缺少定语,因为前有the修饰,不能用whose,引导,所以应该用of which引导。故填of which。
59.句意:在美国发生了几起悲惨的死亡事件,几项研究揭示了针对这一少数族裔的种族主义的真实增长之后,"停止亚洲仇恨"(Stop Asian Hate)运动就正在发生的事情展开了一场对话。分析句子结构可知,本句已有谓语动词started,所以reveal用非谓语形式,逻辑主语是studies,两者间是主动关系,描述的是已发生的事,所以用现在分词,故填revealing。
60.句意:你可以在这个网站上找到关于它的一切,如果你正在处理种族主义的影响,你可以获得资源和支持来帮助你。impact of ...固定短语,"......(产生)的影响",故填of。
61.句意:努力建设一个不存在种族主义的世界对我们来说总是很重要的,也是我们需要努力实现的目标。分析句子结构可知,空处所在句子是定语从句,关系代词在从句中做宾语而省略,所以从句中缺少主语,根据句意可知,表达的是"我们需要努力"之意。故填we。
62.句意:问题是,很多关于种族主义的对话都没有区分受影响的多个群体,而且ESEA人面临的问题与其他有色人种完全不同。分析句子结构可知,本句是who引导的定语从句,and引导的并列句,后句已有谓语动词will be,所以face应该用非谓语动词形式,逻辑主语是issues,两者间是被动关系,应该用过去分词表被动。故填faced。
63.句意:随着攻击和仇恨犯罪的增长,我们希望给你一些工具,让你能够理解我们声音的价值和必要性,以及如何站出来反击。根据句意可知,此处表达"随着攻击和仇恨犯罪的增长"之意,作伴随状语,应该用with引导,位于句首,首字母应大写。故填With。
64.【答案】One possible version:
Dear fellow students,
It is reported that almost 75 kinds of wild animals are disappearing in the world each day. As is known to all, animals are of great importance to us human beings. As a consequence, I, on behalf of the Students' Union, am sincerely appealing you to make joint efforts to put an end to this situation.
First and foremost, it's better to arouse our awareness of the importance of preserving wildlife. In addition, it is suggested that strict laws should be made to ban people from hunting and trading. Last but not least, more natural reserves are expected to be set up so that animals can live in peace and safety.
Only when we learn to live in harmony with wildlife and nature can we save our planet. Let's take action now! I'm firmly convinced that our efforts will eventually pay off.

65.【答案】One possible version:
As they came in my direction, I put on my brightest and happiest smile. I wanted to make them know that I was really anxious to help them. To my relief, they smiled politely back at me when they saw my smile, and I could see their exhaustion in their eyes. I wanted to know what they were going through and I was desperate to know what I could do for them. They nodded gratefully as I pushed my spoon into the pot and took a large spoonful and poured it into their bowls.
I was so happy that I had earned my service hours in this way. This experience made me realize that there are so many people in this world who need our help. It also made me realize that our small act of kindness can make them feel warm and make a great difference to them. I will never forget the way they looked at me when they were given food. I
