Just a few days after his 18th birthday, Beijing 2022 gold medal winner Su Yiming received a surprise gift—a letter from Xi Jinping, President of the People’s Republic of China.

“I have always kept those words in my mind,” Su said.
“ When I made up my mind to be a professional snowboarder, I know there is a big gap between my performance and that of the top sportsmen in the world. But I have been working hard to realize my dream. Now my story shows the fact that hard work will pay off.” Su said.
Su believes the sky is the limit. “Find the thing you love, believe in yourself and do yourvery best. Finally, your dream will come true.”

The Tomatina Festival(西红柿节) is a festival that is held in a town named Bunol in Spain on which people throw tomatoes for fun. It is held on the last Wednesday of August each year.
In 1945 during a parade(游行) in the town one day, young men who wanted to be in the parade started a fight in the town square. They used tomatoes as weapons(武器).This is the most popular story about how the Tomatina Festival started.
At around 10: 00a.m.on Wednesday, activities that are organized to celebrate the festival begin. The first one is climbing a pole with a ham on top. When a person is climbing, some people sing and dance. When the person drops the ham off the pole, the tomato fight starts. The tomatoes come from Extremadura. The tomatoes there are less expensive and are grown specially for the festival. The number of tomatoes used is about 150, 000. After exactly one hour, the fight ends. The whole square becomes red because there is tomato juice everywhere. Then hoses are used to clean the square and to wash away the tomato juice on people’s bodies. After that, the town goes back to the way it was.
The local government has made some rules for the safety of people. One of them is as follows: People have to squash(把……挤软) the tomatoes before throwing in order not to hurt other people.
The Tomatina Festival has inspired other similar celebrations in other parts of the world, for example, in the city of Dongguan, Guangdong Province, China, a tomato fight is held on October 19th.

In the world of digital health, Silicon Valley-based Mindstrong stands out. It has a remarkable team and tens of millions of funding. It also has a fascinating idea-its app, based on mental functioning research, can help detect troubling mental health patterns by collecting data on person’s smartphone usage-how quickly they type, for instance.
The company’s app collects information about how people are typing and runs it through a machine learning algorithm (计算程序) to determine which data can predict their emotional state. The idea is to use that data to establish a “normal” pattern-so it can be compared with someone’s typing habits on any given day. If the habits change, slower or more anxious than normal, the app can warn a health care provider.
The promise of this technology has made Mindstrong incredibly popular since it was launched last year; already more than a dozen counties in California have agreed to apply the company’s app to patients. Does the app live up to its promise There’s no way to tell. Almost no one outside the company has any idea whether it works, leading some experts to wonder if the technology is ready for the real world. “I wouldn’t waste all that time and money in the wild until they get sure that some of those things are as specific as they hope they are,” said Rosalind Picard, a researcher at MIT Media Lab, who is familiar with Mindstrongs work.
“It has passed the gold-standard clinical tests for depression and anxiety,” said Dr. Paul Dagum, the company’s founder. “We’re confident, and we’re already seeing some really exciting results.” Mindstrong officials said that among their most encouraging results is that its app can even predict how a person will feel next week, kind of like a weather app for your mood. “For a clinician(临床医生) or someone looking after a patient, they know that it could be very, very powerful,” Dagum said.
12. What can Mindstrong’s app do
A. Improve its users’ mental health. B. Get its users to type more quickly.
C. Discover its users’ mental state. D. Work out the causes of its users’ trouble.
13. What is the second paragraph mainly about
A. The ways of collecting data. B. The app’s working principle.
C. The analysis of typing habits. D. The development of the app.
14. What is Rosalind Picard’s attitude towards the app
A. Doubtful. B. Positive. C. Uncaring. D. Defensive.
15. What can we infer about Dagum’s opinion on the app
A. The app has a powerful effect on anxiety.
B. The app can also predict weather conditions.
C. Care providers could be supporters of the app.
D. Doctors benefit more from the app than their patients.

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。
The cheerful girl, Jenny, with golden hair was almost five. Waiting with her mother at the checkout stand, she saw a necklace of shining white pearls in a pink metal box. Quickly the mother checked the back of the little metal box and then looked back into the begging blue eyes of her little girl’s upturned face. “A dollar and ninety five cents. That’s almost $2. If you really want it, I’ll think of some extra housework for you and in no time you can save enough money to buy it for yourself. Besides, you might get another dollar bill from Grandma on your birthday a week away.”
After dinner back home she did more housework and even she asked the neighbor for housework for ten cents. On her birthday, Grandma did give her another new dollar bill and at least she had enough money to buy the cheap necklace from the dime store (廉价商店).
Jenny loved her pearl necklace. She wore it everywhere. The only time she took it off was when swimming.
Jenny had a very loving daddy and every night when she was ready for bed, he would stop whatever he was doing and come upstairs to read her a story. One night when he finished the story, he asked Jenny, “Do you love me ”
“Oh, daddy. You know that I love you.”
“Then give me your necklace.”
“Oh, daddy, not my pearl necklace. But you can have my Barbie doll — the one you gave me. She’s my favorite.”
“That’s okay, Honey. Daddy loves you. Good night.” And he brushed her cheek with a kiss.
Daddy repeated the same request about a week after the story time. However, Jenny refused and wouldn’t give up her necklace to her daddy.
注意：
1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右；
2. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。
A few nights later when her daddy came in, Jenny was sitting on her bed, waiting for her father.

With tears in his own eyes, Jenny’s kind daddy reached out one hand to take the cheap necklace.

Just a few days after his 18th birthday, Beijing 2022 gold medal winner Su Yiming received a surprise gift—a letter from Xi Jinping, President of the People’s Republic of China.
In the letter Xi expressed his congratulations to Su and other sportsmen in ice and snow sports for their great achievements at the Beijing Winter Olympics, hoping what they had achieved would encourage young Chinese to aim (立目标) high.
When Su first stepped onto a snowboard at the age of four, a future as a world-classs portsman seemed to be “a dream too big” for him. Little did he know that he would not only compete for his country but also take home gold. With the great excitement of winning an Olympic gold medal still fresh in his mind, Su wrote a letter to the president, telling him how lucky he felt to have made his dream come true.
Su still remembers what Xi wrote in the reply, “The new era is the time for young people to realize their dreams.”
“I have always kept those words in my mind,” Su said.
“ When I made up my mind to be a professional snowboarder, I know there is a big gap between my performance and that of the top sportsmen in the world. But I have been working hard to realize my dream. Now my story shows the fact that hard work will pay off.” Su said.

In the world of digital health Silicon Valley-based Mindstrong stands out. It has a remarkable team and tens of millions of funding. It also has a fascinating idea-its app, based on mental functioning research, can help detect troubling mental health patterns by collecting data on person’s smartphone usage-how quickly they type, for instance.
The company’s app collects information about how people are typing and runs it through a machine learning algorithm (计算程序) to determine which data can predict their emotional state. The idea is to use that data to establish a “normal” pattern-so it can be compared with someone’s typing habits on any given day. If the habits change, slower or more anxious than normal, the app can warn a health care provider.
The promise of this technology has made Mindstrong incredibly popular since it was launched last year; already more than a dozen counties in California have agreed to apply the company’s app to patients. Does the app live up to its promise There’s no way to tell. Almost no one outside the company has any idea whether it works, leading some experts to wonder if the technology is ready for the real world. “I wouldn’t waste all that time and money in the wild until they get sure that some of those things are as specific as they hope they are,” said Rosalind Picard, a researcher at MIT Media Lab, who is familiar with Mindstrongs work.
“It has passed the gold-standard clinical tests for depression and anxiety,” said Dr. Paul Dagum, the company’s founder. “We’re confident, and we’re already seeing some really exciting results.” Mindstrong officials said that among their most encouraging results is that its app can even predict how a person will feel next week, kind of like a weather app for your mood. “For a clinician(临床医生) or someone looking after a patient, they know that it could be very, very powerful,” Dagum said.
12. What can Mindstrong’s app do
A. Improve its users’ mental health. B. Get its users to type more quickly.
C. Discover its users’ mental state. D. Work out the causes of its users’ trouble.
13. What is the second paragraph mainly about
A. The ways of collecting data. B. The app’s working principle.
C. The analysis of typing habits. D. The development of the app.
14. What is Rosalind Picard’s attitude towards the app
A. Doubtful. B. Positive. C. Uncaring. D. Defensive.
15. What can we infer about Dagum’s opinion on the app
A. The app has a powerful effect on anxiety.
B. The app can also predict weather conditions.
C. Care providers could be supporters of the app.
D. Doctors benefit more from the app than their patients.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了一款可以发现人们心理状态的 app 以及不同的人对它的不同态度。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The company’s app collects information about how people are typing and runs it through a machine learning algorithm (计算程序) to determine which data can predict their emotional state.(该公司的应用程序收集人们如何打字的信息，并通过机器学习算法运行这些信息，以确定哪些数据可以预测他们的情绪状态)”可知，该app通过收集用户的打字收集信息预测他们的心理状态，故选C 。
【13题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段内容，特别是根据“The idea is to use that data to establish a “normal” pattern-so it can be compared with someone’s typing habits on any given day.(这个想法是利用这些数据建立一个“正常”模式，这样就可以与某人在任何一天的打字习惯进行比较)”可知，该app 利用收集到的这些数据建立一个正常的模式，这样就可以将其与某一天的打字习惯进行比较，从而知道用户的心理状态。由此可知，本段主要介绍的是该 app 的工作原理，故选B。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“Almost no one outside the company has any idea whether it works, leading some experts to wonder if the technology is ready for the real world. “I wouldn’t waste all that time and money in the wild until they get sure that some of those things are as specific as they hope they are,”(除了公司之外，几乎没有人知道它是否有效，这让一些专家怀疑这项技术是否适合现实世界。“我不会在非实验条件下浪费所有的时间和金钱，直到他们确信其中一些事情像他们希望的那样具体”)”可知，公司外部几乎没有人知道该 app 是否有效，这让一些专家怀疑这项技术是否已经准备好应用于现实世界，紧接着就举了 Rosalind Picard 的例子。再结合他所说的话推知，Rosalind Picard 对这个 app 持怀疑态度，故选A。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“For a clinician or someone looking after a patient, they know that it could be very, very powerful,(说对于一个临床医生或照顾病人的人来说，他们知道这可能是非常非常有帮助的)”推知，医护人员可能是该 app 的支持者，故选C。

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。
The cheerful girl, Jenny, with golden hair was almost five. Waiting with her mother at the checkout stand, she saw a necklace of shining white pearls in a pink metal box. Quickly the mother checked the back of the little metal box and then looked back into the begging blue eyes of her little girl’s upturned face. “A dollar and ninety five cents. That’s almost $2. If you really want it, I’ll think of some extra housework for you and in no time you can save enough money to buy it for yourself. Besides, you might get another dollar bill from Grandma on your birthday a week away.”
After dinner back home, she did more housework and even she asked the neighbor for housework for ten cents. On her birthday, Grandma did give her another new dollar bill and at least she had enough money to buy the cheap necklace from the dime store (廉价商店).
Jenny loved her pearl necklace. She wore it everywhere. The only time she took it off was when swimming.
Jenny had a very loving daddy and every night when she was ready for bed, he would stop whatever he was doing and come upstairs to read her a story. One night when he finished the story, he asked Jenny, “Do you love me ”
“Oh, daddy. You know that I love you.”
“Then give me your necklace.”
“Oh, daddy, not my pearl necklace. But you can have my Barbie doll — the one you gave me. She’s my favorite.”
“That’s okay, Honey. Daddy loves you. Good night.” And he brushed her cheek with a kiss.
Daddy repeated the same request about a week after the story time. However, Jenny refused and wouldn’t give up her necklace to her daddy.

【答案】 A few nights later when her daddy came in, Jenny was sitting on her bed, waiting for her father. As he came home, he noticed her lips were trembling and tears rolled down her cheeks. “What’s it, Jenny What’s the matter ” Jenny didn’t say anything but lifted the metal box up with her little hand to her daddy. And when she opened it, there was her little pearl necklace. With a little trembling voice, she finally said, “Here, daddy. It’s for you.” She gave her treasure to her father eventually.
With tears in his own eyes, Jenny’s kind daddy reached out one hand to take the cheap necklace. Meanwhile, with the other hand he reached into his pocket and pulled out a blue box with a necklace made of natural pearls and gave it to Jenny. He had had it all time. He was just waiting for her to give up the cheap necklace made of artificial pearls so he could give her a real valuable treasure. Jenny was very glad to take the necklace and a big smile appeared on her face. She said, “It’s very kind of you, dad!”
