Born on 1 July 1948 in the small Italian city of Palmi, Roberto Crea was a gifted In 1977, he joined the Genentech, Inc. and the gene synthesis team at City of Hope Medical School.The company funded Dr. Crea’s ongoing research on gene synthesis. After working day and night, the brilliant individual finally invented a new procedure that improved the chemical synthesis of genes. Thanks to his rich knowledge and the joint efforts of the excellent Genentech team, he made use of this discovery to produce the human insulin (胰岛素) genes, A and B. It was his invention that allowed Genentech to be labeled as the first producer of human protein. This benefited hundreds of millions of people suffering from diabetes (糖尿病) all over the world.
Today Roberto is known as the father of synthetic insulin and had almost won the Nobel Prize. His efforts did not stop after discovering the synthetic insulin.

When people hear “artificial intelligence (AI)”, many think of 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. But AI is not only about large data sets, and the research in small data approaches has grown extensively over the past ten years.
If you take the top 100 biggest innovations of our time, perhaps around 60% to 65% are really based on small data. Big data is all about finding connections, but small data is all about finding the causation, that is, the reason why.
Sokkelund was bought by an experienced industry professional. The restaurant has a French cafe, in the mid-to high price-segment. At the starting point in 2009 the restaurant had 40 seats and an annual turnover of about USD 1 million. In 2017, 34 seats were added acquiring the neighboring shop and by building a small veranda. The turnover was about USD 6 million-an impressive level of grow driven by a talented team and innovative business thinking.
In the case of Sokkelund, the process of transforming the company to take advantage of small data was started with a focus on improving the traditional competitive parameters (规范；范围) of a restaurant in a structured step-by-step plan. This required managerial skills and industry experience. In terms of the effects on the business model, these changes not only led to cost reductions, but lowered customer acquisition costs, increased the number of customers retention and added new revenue channels.
8. What can we know from the first two paragraphs
A. Research in small data approaches has grown widely.
B. People have more research in big data.
C. Most of the innovations are based on big data.
D. AI breakthroughs have nothing to do with small data.
9. What does the underlined word “turnover” probably mean
A. The money paid to the government.
B. The money added to someone’s wage.
C. The amount of business done in a period.
D. The amount of the goods bought annually.
10. Why did Sokkelund’s income grow dramatically
A. It was mainly due to industry experience.
B. Small data has been made good use of.
C. A structured plan was adopted to lower customer acquisition.
D. It benefited from the traditional business model.
11. What’s the purpose of the passage？
A. To clarify some misconceptions. B. To introduce a big data approach.
C To predict the future of AI. D. To stress the significance of small data.
D
Clothes were once used until they fell apart. Not today. In high-income countries in particular, clothing and footwear are increasingly frequently bought, thrown away and replaced with new fashions, which are themselves soon thrown away and replaced.
The so-called ‘Fast fashion’ is having a surprising environmental impact. ‘Take water. The fashion industry, one of the world’s largest users of water, consumes anywhere from 20 trillion to 200 trillion litres every year. ‘Then there are microplastics. Plastic fibres are released when we wash polyester (聚酯纤维) and other polymer-based textiles, and make up between 20% and 35% of themicro plastics choking the oceans. Added to this are specific chemicals, such as those used to make fabrics stain resistant and the pesticides required to protect crops such as cotton.
Change is badly needed, but will require the fashion industry to work harder to embrace more of what is known as the circular economy. That will involve at least two things: refocusing on making things that last, and so encouraging reuse; and more rapidly expanding the technologies for sustainable manufacturing processes, especially recycling. There’s a big role for research--both academic and industrial--in achieving these and other ambitions.
Researchers could begin by helping to provide more accurate estimates of water use. There is also work to be done on improving and expanding textiles recycling. Undoubtedly, used textiles go to landfill in part because there are relatively few systems that collect, recycle and reuse materials. Such recycling requires the manual separation of fibres, as well as buttons and zips. Different fibres are not easy to identify by eye, and overall such manual processes are time-consuming. Machinery is being developed that can help. Technologies also exist to recycle used fibres chemically and to create high -quality fibres that can be reused in clothing. But these are nowhere near the scale needed.
Another challenge for researchers is to work out how to get consumers and manufacturers to change their behaviour. Other research questions include finding ways to encourage people to purchase long lasting goods; exploring how to satisfy desires for something new while reducing environmental impact; and understanding why certain measures can be successfully scaled up whereas others fail.
12. Why does the author mention “water”, “microplastics” and “chemicals” in Paragraph 2
A. To list examples.
B. To prove a point.
C To provide an idea.
D. To give a definition.
13. Which of the following goes against the concept of “circular economy”
A. Efforts are made to lengthen the lifespan of textiles.
B. Worn-out clothes are used as dishcloths and oil rags.
C. High-quality fibres are created to be reused in clothing.
D. Fashion industry is encouraged to release new lines more often.
14. What is the right thing for the fashion industry researchers to do
A. To make sure that all of the used textiles go to landfill.
B. To separate fibres, as well as buttons and zips manually.
C. To improve and expand textile recycling to a larger extent.
D. To encourage consumers to satisfy their desires for fashion.
15. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. Say no to the so-called fast fashion
B. Address the challenges for researchers
C. Embrace more of the circular economy
D. Cut fast fashion’s environmental impact

A Midnight Rescue
It was not uncommon to carry out tasks at night as rescuers. Harry and David were informed of their task when it was nearly midnight. It was urgent so there was no time to hesitate. They headed into the forest.
The forest was black and silent. A little way into it they reached a fork in the earth path. Harry and David took the left path. They walked in silence, their eyes on the ground, watching out for the traps like big pits（坑）set by the illegal hunters. Every now and then a ray of moonlight through the branches above lit a spot of scarlet（猩红的）blood on the fallen leaves.
David saw that Harry looked very worried, asking, "Could Unicorn be hurt that badly " Harry answered, "If we can't find it as soon as possible, it doesn't stand much chance to survive." Of course, Unicorn was not the animal in fairy tales but the nickname of a 3-year-old elephant, the last wild elephant in this forest. The nickname was given by the biodiversity rescuers who were protecting every member in this forest. They knew Unicorn was obedient and not afraid of human beings and that sometimes put it in danger. "Without it, the forest was not complete. Those illegal hunters should be thrown into prison." Harry thought, carrying his first aid kit（急救箱）on his back and walking forward with his flashlight.
It seemed that thick fog would come at any time, which would increase the danger. Harry hurried into the heart of the forest with David. They walked for nearly half an hour, deeper and deeper. There were blood splashes（血迹）on the roots of a tree, as though the poor creature had been struggling around in pain close by. "We must hurry up", said Harry.

However, it was really not easy for them to find it.

Without delay, Harry knelt down to do first aid on its wound with David holding the flashlight.

When people hear “artificial intelligence (AI)”, many think of 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. But AI is not only about large data sets, and the research in small data approaches has grown extensively over the past ten years.
If you take the top 100 biggest innovations of our time, perhaps around 60% to 65% are really based on small data. Big data is all about finding connections, but small data is all about finding the causation, that is, the reason why.
Sokkelund was bought by an experienced industry professional. The restaurant has a French cafe, in the mid-to high price-segment. At the starting point in 2009 the restaurant had 40 seats and an annual turnover of about USD 1 million. In 2017, 34 seats were added acquiring the neighboring shop and by building a small veranda. The turnover was about USD 6 million-an impressive level of grow driven by a talented team and innovative business thinking.
In the case of Sokkelund, the process of transforming the company to take advantage of small data was started with a focus on improving the traditional competitive parameters (规范；范围) of a restaurant in a structured step-by-step plan. This required managerial skills and industry experience. In terms of the effects on the business model, these changes not only led to cost reductions, but lowered customer acquisition costs, increased the number of customers retention and added new revenue channels.
8. What can we know from the first two paragraphs
A. Research in small data approaches has grown widely.
B. People have more research in big data.
C. Most of the innovations are based on big data.
D. AI breakthroughs have nothing to do with small data.
9. What does the underlined word “turnover” probably mean
A. The money paid to the government.
B. The money added to someone’s wage.
C The amount of business done in a period.
D. The amount of the goods bought annually.
10. Why did Sokkelund’s income grow dramatically
A. It was mainly due to industry experience.
B. Small data has been made good use of.
C. A structured plan was adopted to lower customer acquisition.
D. It benefited from the traditional business model.
11. What’s the purpose of the passage？
A. To clarify some misconceptions. B. To introduce a big data approach.
C. To predict the future of AI. D. To stress the significance of small data.
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. B 11. D
【解析】

Clothes were once used until they fell apart. Not today. In high-income countries in particular, clothing and footwear are increasingly frequently bought, thrown away and replaced with new fashions, which are themselves soon thrown away and replaced.
The so-called ‘Fast fashion’ is having a surprising environmental impact. ‘Take water. The fashion industry, one of the world’s largest users of water, consumes anywhere from 20 trillion to 200 trillion litres every year. ‘Then there are microplastics. Plastic fibres are released when we wash polyester (聚酯纤维) and other polymer-based textiles, and make up between 20% and 35% of themicro plastics choking the oceans. Added to this are specific chemicals, such as those used to make fabrics stain resistant and the pesticides required to protect crops such as cotton.
Change is badly needed, but will require the fashion industry to work harder to embrace more of what is known as the circular economy. That will involve at least two things: refocusing on making things that last, and so encouraging reuse; and more rapidly expanding the technologies for sustainable manufacturing processes, especially recycling. There’s a big role for research--both academic and industrial--in achieving these and other ambitions.
Researchers could begin by helping to provide more accurate estimates of water use. There is also work to be done on improving and expanding textiles recycling. Undoubtedly, used textiles go to landfill in part because there are relatively few systems that collect, recycle and reuse materials. Such recycling requires the manual separation of fibres, as well as buttons and zips. Different fibres are not easy to identify by eye, and overall such manual processes are time-consuming. Machinery is being developed that can help. Technologies also exist to recycle used fibres chemically and to create high -quality fibres that can be reused in clothing. But these are nowhere near the scale needed.
Another challenge for researchers is to work out how to get consumers and manufacturers to change their behaviour. Other research questions include finding ways to encourage people to purchase long lasting goods; exploring how to satisfy desires for something new while reducing environmental impact; and understanding why certain measures can be successfully scaled up whereas others fail.
12. Why does the author mention “water”, “microplastics” and “chemicals” in Paragraph 2
A. To list examples.
B. To prove a point.
C. To provide an idea.
D. To give a definition.
13. Which of the following goes against the concept of “circular economy”
A. Efforts are made to lengthen the lifespan of textiles.
B. Worn-out clothes are used as dishcloths and oil rags.
C. High-quality fibres are created to be reused in clothing.
D. Fashion industry is encouraged to release new lines more often.
14. What is the right thing for the fashion industry researchers to do
A. To make sure that all of the used textiles go to landfill.
B. To separate fibres, as well as buttons and zips manually.
C. To improve and expand textile recycling to a larger extent.
D. To encourage consumers to satisfy their desires for fashion.
15. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. Say no to the so-called fast fashion
B. Address the challenges for researchers
C. Embrace more of the circular economy
D. Cut fast fashion’s environmental impact
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了所谓的“快时尚”潮流所带来的环境危害，以及研究人员为了避免环境危害所进行的努力措施。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段的“The so-called ‘Fast fashion’ is having a surprising environmental impact.(所谓的“快时尚”正在对环境产生惊人的影响)”和“The fashion industry, one of the world’s largest users of water, consumes anywhere from 20 trillion to 200 trillion litres every year. Then there are microplastics. Plastic fibres are released when we wash polyester (聚酯纤维) and other polymer-based textiles, and make up between 20% and 35% of themicro plastics choking the oceans. Added to this are specific chemicals, such as those used to make fabrics stain resistant and the pesticides required to protect crops such as cotton.(时装业是世界上用水最多的行业之一，每年的用水量在20万亿到200万亿升之间。还有微塑料。当我们清洗聚酯纤维和其他基于聚合物的纺织品时，塑料纤维被释放出来，构成了阻塞海洋的20%到35%的微塑料。除此之外，还有一些特殊的化学物质，比如用来使织物耐污的化学物质，以及保护棉花等作物所需的农药)”可知，作者在第二段中提到“水”、“微塑料”和“化学品”的目的是为了证明一个观点，也就是“快时尚”正在对环境产生惊人的影响。故选B。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段的“That will involve at least two things: refocusing on making things that last, and so encouraging reuse; and more rapidly expanding the technologies for sustainable manufacturing processes, especially recycling. There’s a big role for research--both academic and industrial--in achieving these and other ambitions.(这将至少涉及两件事：重新专注于让物品耐用，从而鼓励重复使用；更迅速地扩大可持续生产工艺的技术，特别是回收利用。在实现这些和其他雄心方面，学术和工业研究都发挥着重要作用)”可知，与“循环经济”的概念相抵触的是鼓励时尚产业更频繁地发布新产品。故选D。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段的“Researchers could begin by helping to provide more accurate estimates of water use. There is also work to be done on improving and expanding textiles recycling.(研究人员可以从帮助提供更准确的用水量估算开始。在改善和扩大纺织品回收方面也有工作要做)”可知，时尚产业研究者应该做的正确的事情是在更大程度上改善和扩大纺织品回收利用。故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第二段的“The so-called ‘Fast fashion’ is having a surprising environmental impact.(所谓的“快时尚”正在对环境产生惊人的影响)”和第三段的“Change is badly needed, but will require the fashion industry to work harder to embrace more of what is known as the circular economy.(变革是迫切需要的，但这需要时尚行业更加努力，更多地接受所谓的循环经济)”可知，文章讲述了所谓的“快时尚”对环境产生的影响，以及给我们提供的建议，以避免这种影响，因此最好的题目是D选项“Cut fast fashion’s environmental impact(减少快时尚对环境的影响)”。故选D。

【详解】1. 考查名词复数。句意：中国的500米口径球面射电望远镜首次从外太空探测到一个重复的快速射电脉冲——奇怪的射电信号。根据设空前strange radio可知，此处应用名词，结合句中 a repeating fast radio burst 可知，这个快速的射电波不断重复，所以此处要用复数，故填signals。
2. 考查介词。句意：在星期三，参与“快速计划”的科学家们向中国科学院国家天文台透露了这一消息。星期前要用介词on，故填on。
3.考查最高级。句意：快速射电脉冲是天文学史上最热门的话题之一。one of +the + 形容词最高级+复数名词，表示“最……之一”，为固定搭配，故填hottest。
4.考查not until强调句型。句意：直到2007年，人类才发现了第一个快速射电脉冲。not until的强调句型为：It is/was not until...+ that + 其它，本句使用了not until的强调句型，结合句式要求，设空处用that引出句子其它部分，故填that。
5.考查名词。句意：目前国际科学界对快速射电脉冲的起源还没有令人信服的解释。convincing“令人信服的”为形容词，形容词修饰名词，所以空格处用名词explanation。故填explanation。
6.考查非谓语动词。句意：这些快速射电脉冲大多只出现一次，所以很难追踪。句式：make+宾语+ 形容词+ to do，不定式此处用作补语，结合空白前 makes them very hard可知，所以填to track。故填to track。
7.考查非谓语动词。句意：被称为快速射电脉冲121102，它在2012年首次被发现，并在2015年被重复发现。分析句子可知，逗号前的内容在句中作状语，短语：be known as “作为……而闻名”，句子主语it与动词know为动宾关系，所以此处用过去分词known，因处于句首，所以首字母要大写。故填Known。
8.考查时态。句意：后来数据分析表明，该信号来自30亿光年之外的一个矮星系。结合前文“it was first discovered in 2012 and found to repeat in 2015. Analysis of data later”可知，此处论述的动作发生在过去，所以时态用一般过去时，空白处在句中作谓语，故填indicated。
9.考查时态和语态。句意：快速射电脉冲121102的第一个脉冲被射电望远镜在8月30日发现。根据时间状语on August 30，所以此处的时态为一般过去时；主语The first pulse为单数，和动词spot为动宾关系，所以此处填was spotted。故填was spotted。
10.考查冠词。句意：在这之后，望远镜记录了几十次，从快速射电脉冲121102 发出的脉冲，持续了几天。根据上文可知，此处的射电望远镜指前文的FAST，所以表特指，用定冠词the修饰。故填the。

47. 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。
A Midnight Rescue
It was not uncommon to carry out tasks at night as rescuers. Harry and David were informed of their task when it was nearly midnight. It was urgent so there was no time to hesitate. They headed into the forest.
The forest was black and silent. A little way into it they reached a fork in the earth path. Harry and David took the left path. They walked in silence, their eyes on the ground, watching out for the traps like big pits（坑）set by the illegal hunters. Every now and then a ray of moonlight through the branches above lit a spot of scarlet（猩红的）blood on the fallen leaves.
David saw that Harry looked very worried, asking, "Could Unicorn be hurt that badly " Harry answered, "If we can't find it as soon as possible, it doesn't stand much chance to survive." Of course, Unicorn was not the animal in fairy tales but the nickname of a 3-year-old elephant, the last wild elephant in this forest. The nickname was given by the biodiversity rescuers who were protecting every member in this forest. They knew Unicorn was obedient and not afraid of human beings and that sometimes put it in danger. "Without it, the forest was not complete. Those illegal hunters should be thrown into prison." Harry thought, carrying his first aid kit（急救箱）on his back and walking forward with his flashlight.
It seemed that thick fog would come at any time, which would increase the danger. Harry hurried into the heart of the forest with David. They walked for nearly half an hour, deeper and deeper. There were blood splashes（血迹）on the roots of a tree, as though the poor creature had been struggling around in pain close by. "We must hurry up", said Harry.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
However, it was really not easy for them to find it. That’s because thick fog came, covering almost everything. They had to bend down to search for clues like blood splashes or footprints, which made them walk more slowly, ears sharper than usual. Suddenly, painful roars came to the rescuers and in front of them lay the young elephant. “Look! Unicorn!” Harry rushed forward, crying excitedly. It looked exhausted because a wound on its left front leg was bleeding badly.
Without delay, Harry knelt down to do first aid on its wound with David holding the flashlight. Fortunately, everything needed was available in the first aid kit. Calmly and skillfully, Harry conducted an operation on Unicorn immediately, and it seemed more obedient than before. Therefore, it didn’t take much time for Harry to stop the bleeding as an experienced rescuer. And after a while, Unicorn was able to stand up and walked away. It was rescued! Waving goodbye to it, Harry and David felt relieved. At this moment, the whole forest woke up, the moonlight fading while winds singing welcome to the dawn.
