It was a Thursday night in September. Classes were done for the day, homework was complete for the night and excitement for the weekend began to stir (萌动). It was 9:00 pm and music filled the house with the upstairs hallway used as a dance floor. My roommate Lucy and I danced in the hallway with the booming music for an hour.
It was within that one hour that I realized how the world around me had stopped. Thoughts of how busy the weekend was going to be and the homework that was due Monday slipped away. It was just me, my roommate, our music and our hallway. It wasn’t until that night that I realized the importance of dancing it out and why everyone should try it.
Dance has always been a significant part of my life. I have loved to dance ever since I was little, and I had the honor of being on two competitive dance teams as a teenager. But dancing on stage feels different from dancing in your living room with the volume (音量) turned up and not having a care in the world if people walking past the window can see you.
When dancing in your hallway, imperfection is a priority. There’s no conveying emotions to the audience. There’s just releasing emotions. The feeling is freeing. When you dance it out, it’s just you and your music. No one is there to judge you. You can live in the moment, not worrying about the future.
So the next time you feel stressed, get up and turn on your favorite music. Let the music move you and free you. Sometimes in life, when you don’t feel like you have control of anything, you’ve to dance it out because you’re in control of the music.
4. What can we learn about the author from the first two paragraphs
A. She loved classic music.
B. She enjoyed dancing in her private space.
C. She wouldn’t do homework at the weekend.
D. She was absent-minded while dancing in the hallway.

C. Controlled by Music. D. Listening to Your Heart.
【答案】4. B 5. D 6. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者分享了自己的个人经历，她通过在走廊里跳舞，摆脱了现实中的压力，感受到自己与音乐的共鸣，享受到自由、无拘束的感觉。作者认为舞蹈能够让人放松心情，释放情绪，并建议读者在面对压力时，用舞蹈来解放自己。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“My roommate Lucy and I danced in the hallway with the booming music for an hour. (我和室友Lucy在走廊里伴着轰轰烈烈的音乐跳了一个小时的舞)”和第二段中“It was within that one hour that I realized how the world around me had stopped. Thoughts of how busy the weekend was going to be and the homework that was due Monday slipped away. It was just me, my roommate, our music and our hallway. (就在那一个小时内，我意识到我周围的世界是如何停止的。周末会有多忙，周一要交作业，这些想法都消失了。只有我，我的室友，我们的音乐和我们的走廊)”可知，作者和室友沉浸在舞蹈的世界中，整整跳了一个小时的舞，她忘记了各种想法。由此可知，她很享受在像走廊这样的私人空间里跳舞。故选B项。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“There’s no conveying emotions to the audience. There’s just releasing emotions. The feeling is freeing. When you dance it out, it’s just you and your music. No one is there to judge you. You can live in the moment, not worrying about the future. (无需向观众传达情感。只是释放情绪。这种感觉是自由的。当你跳舞的时候，只有你和你的音乐。没有人会评判你。你可以活在当下，不用担心未来)”可知，在作者看来，“尽情跳舞”时人在释放自己的情绪，得到了自由，专注于当下自己的状态。由此可知，对于作者而言，“尽情跳舞”的好处是帮助我们有一个放松的心态。故选D项。
【6题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段中“So the next time you feel stressed, get up and turn on your favorite music. Let the music move you and free you. (所以下次当你感到压力时，站起来，打开你最喜欢音乐。让音乐感动你，解放你)”可知，作者通过分享自己在走廊里跳舞的经历，描述了尽情跳舞带给人的自由的、无拘束的感觉。作者认为舞蹈能够让人放松心情，释放情绪，并建议读者在面对压力时，用舞蹈来解放自己。因此，A项“在舞蹈中获得自由”契合文章主旨，适合作为文章标题。故选A项。
C
An experiment involving hundreds of office workers has found that artificial intelligence (AI) tools can greatly help but also hurt worker performance.
AI tools designed to operate at human levels have greatly expanded in popularity over the past year. Such tools are designed to interact smoothly with humans and perform high-level writing and creative work.
This year, researchers at Harvard Business School and other organizations carried out an experiment. It aimed to test how well AI tools could help workers perform their usual duties, or tasks. It involved more than 700 business advisors, called consultants (顾问), from Massachusetts-based Boston Consulting Group.
Harvard Business School recently published results from the experiment in a “working paper”. The main findings suggest that AI tools can greatly improve worker performance. For example, researchers found that, on average, workers who used AI tools completed 12 percent more tasks than the users that handled the assigned (分配的) tasks on their own. Tasks carried out with help from the AI technology were completed 25 percent faster. And the team found the quality of work performed by consultants using AI technology increased about 40 percent.
However, the paper also noted areas where the performance of consultants using AI technology dipped. Of tasks the AI was good at, the experiment showed it “significantly improved human performance,” the paper said. But for tasks the AI was not right for, “humans relied too much on the AI, and were more likely to make mistakes.” The researchers reported that consultants who used AI for tasks it was not well equipped for “were 19 percent less likely to produce correct solutions compared to those without AI.”
The team suggests one of the biggest barriers to companies effectively using AI is not knowing which tasks can be completed best with the technology. Finding this out will require businesses to carry out thoughtful research and training efforts to find the right mix of AI and human work.
7. What is people’s attitude towards AI tools nowadays
A. Curious. B. Anxious. C. Positive. D. Doubtful.
8. What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A. The total results of the experiment.
B. AI technology taking the place of humans.
C. The speed and quality of the task completion.
D. AI tools greatly improving worker performance.
9. What does the underlined word “dipped” in paragraph 5 mean
A. Improved. B. Dropped. C. Changed. D. Disappeared.
10. What does the author want to show in the last paragraph
A. AI and human work can be better combined.
B AI technology will be a barrier to companies.
C. Businesses will benefit more from AI tools.
D. Humans should develop new versions of AL.
【答案】7. C 8. D 9. B 10. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了人工智能工具可以极大地提高工作者的表现，但也可能对工作者的表现产生负面影响，研究团队建议企业需要找到人工智能和人类工作的最佳结合方式。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段的“AI tools designed to operate at human levels have greatly expanded in popularity over the past year. (在过去的一年里，旨在达到人类水平的人工智能工具的受欢迎程度大大提高。)”可知，现在人们对人工智能工具的态度是积极向上的。故选C。
【8题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段的“Harvard Business School recently published results from the experiment in a “working paper”. The main findings suggest that AI tools can greatly improve worker performance. For example, researchers found that, on average, workers who used AI tools completed 12 percent more tasks than the users that handled the assigned tasks on their own. Tasks carried out with help from the AI technology were completed 25 percent faster. And the team found the quality of work performed by consultants using AI technology increased about 40 percent. (哈佛商学院最近在一份“工作论文”中公布了这项实验的结果。主要研究结果表明，人工智能工具可以极大地提高员工的表现。例如，研究人员发现，平均而言，使用人工智能工具的员工完成的任务比自己处理分配任务的用户多完成12%。在人工智能技术的帮助下完成的任务要快25%。该团队发现，使用人工智能技术的顾问的工作质量提高了约40%。) ”可知，第四段主要讲的是人工智能工具极大地提高了员工的表现。故选D。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第五段的“But for tasks the AI was not right for, “humans relied too much on the AI, and were more likely to make mistakes.” The researchers reported that consultants who used AI for tasks it was not well equipped for “were 19 percent less likely to produce correct solutions compared to those without AI.”(但对于人工智能不适合的任务，研究人员报告说，“如果人类过于依赖人工智能，那就更容易犯错误”。与没有使用人工智能的顾问相比，使用人工智能完成任务的顾问找到正确解决方案的可能性要低19%。)”可知，有些领域中在使用人工智能后，却出现了工作质量下降的情况，结合划线词所在句子“However, the paper also noted areas where the performance of consultants using AI technology dipped. ”可知，划线词意为“下降了”，该句子是第五段的主题句，意为“然而，该论文也指出了使用人工智能技术的咨询师表现下降的领域。”与第四段的“And the team found the quality of work performed by consultants using AI technology increased about 40 percent. (该团队发现，使用人工智能技术的顾问的工作质量提高了约40%。)”构成转折关系。故选B。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段的“The team suggests one of the biggest barriers to companies effectively using AI is not knowing which tasks can be completed best with the technology. Finding this out will require businesses to carry out thoughtful research and training efforts to find the right mix of AI and human work. (该团队表示，企业有效使用人工智能的最大障碍之一是不知道哪些任务可以用这项技术完成得最好。要弄清楚这一点，企业需要进行深思熟虑的研究和培训，以找到人工智能和人类工作的正确结合。)”可知，人工智能和人类工作可以得到更好地结合。故选A。

Touched by his story, the restaurant owner took his order, informing him that it would cost 50 cents.
Several years passed, and the man continued to visit the restaurant every evening to have his one meal of the day and chat with the restaurant owner, who always encouraged him and asked about family, and how his plans were going.
Finally, one evening, the man arrived at the restaurant with a happy smile on his face. He had bought an average-sized house in a good neighborhood with a good school for his boys, and he had just sent for his family to join him in the city. The restaurant owner was overjoyed for him and congratulated him．The man then mentioned that he wanted to spend an entire 5 dollars on his meal for celebration that evenin. The restaurant owner agreed that it was well-deserved (应得的), prepared his meal, put it in a box and sent him on his way home.
However, when the man got home and opened his meal package, he was shocked to find the same type of food he had been eating every day for the past six years. He felt deeply disappointed because he had been looking forward to a big and tasty meal to celebrate his big achievement.

At that moment, a waiter came out from the kitchen, handing a customer a takeout and cheerfully saying, “Five dollars. Have a nice day.” The man saw the familiar 50-cent meal that he’d been eating for the past 6 years. He suddenly understood. The restaurant owner had supported him selflessly during his toughest times. As the restaurant owner appeared, his face flushed with embarrassment. The restaurant owner showed an understanding smile, gently patted him on the shoulder and broke the silence, “Hope you enjoy your meal!” Hearing this, the man hugged the restaurant owner tightly. With tears streaming down his face, he felt his heart was about to burst with warmth and gratitude.

It was a Thursday night in September. Classes were done for the day, homework was complete for the night and excitement for the weekend began to stir (萌动). It was 9:00 pm and music filled the house with the upstairs hallway used as a dance floor. My roommate Lucy and I danced in the hallway with the booming music for an hour.
It was within that one hour that I realized how the world around me had stopped. Thoughts of how busy the weekend was going to be and the homework that was due Monday slipped away. It was just me, my roommate, our music and our hallway. It wasn’t until that night that I realized the importance of dancing it out and why everyone should try it.
Dance has always been a significant part of my life. I have loved to dance ever since I was little, and I had the honor of being on two competitive dance teams as a teenager. But dancing on stage feels different from dancing in your living room with the volume (音量) turned up and not having a care in the world if people walking past the window can see you.
When dancing in your hallway, imperfection is a priority. There’s no conveying emotions to the audience. There’s just releasing emotions. The feeling is freeing. When you dance it out, it’s just you and your music. No one is there to judge you. You can live in the moment, not worrying about the future.
So the next time you feel stressed, get up and turn on your favorite music. Let the music move you and free you. Sometimes in life, when you don’t feel like you have control of anything, you’ve to dance it out because you’re in control of the music.
4. What can we learn about the author from the first two paragraphs
A. She loved classic music.
B. She enjoyed dancing in her private space.
C. She wouldn’t do homework at the weekend.
D. She was absent-minded while dancing in the hallway.
5. What is the benefit of “dancing it out” according to the author
A. It makes us get cool and sharp.
B. It encourages us to become perfect.
C. It inspires us to communicate better.
D. It helps us have a relaxed state of mind.
6. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. Freed by Dancing. B. Dancing on Stage.
C. Controlled by Music. D. Listening to Your Heart.
C
An experiment involving hundreds of office workers has found that artificial intelligence (AI) tools can greatly help but also hurt worker performance.
AI tools designed to operate at human levels have greatly expanded in popularity over the past year. Such tools are designed to interact smoothly with humans and perform high-level writing and creative work.
This year, researchers at Harvard Business School and other organizations carried out an experiment. It aimed to test how well AI tools could help workers perform their usual duties, or tasks. It involved more than 700 business advisors, called consultants (顾问), from Massachusetts-based Boston Consulting Group.
Harvard Business School recently published results from the experiment in a “working paper”. The main findings suggest that AI tools can greatly improve worker performance. For example, researchers found that, on average, workers who used AI tools completed 12 percent more tasks than the users that handled the assigned (分配的) tasks on their own. Tasks carried out with help from the AI technology were completed 25 percent faster. And the team found the quality of work performed by consultants using AI technology increased about 40 percent.
However, the paper also noted areas where the performance of consultants using AI technology dipped. Of tasks the AI was good at, the experiment showed it “significantly improved human performance,” the paper said. But for tasks the AI was not right for, “humans relied too much on the AI, and were more likely to make mistakes.” The researchers reported that consultants who used AI for tasks it was not well equipped for “were 19 percent less likely to produce correct solutions compared to those without AI.”
The team suggests one of the biggest barriers to companies effectively using AI is not knowing which tasks can be completed best with the technology. Finding this out will require businesses to carry out thoughtful research and training efforts to find the right mix of AI and human work.
7. What is people’s attitude towards AI tools nowadays
A. Curious. B. Anxious. C. Positive. D. Doubtful.
8. What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A. The total results of the experiment.
B. AI technology taking the place of humans.
C The speed and quality of the task completion.
D. AI tools greatly improving worker performance.
9. What does the underlined word “dipped” in paragraph 5 mean
A. Improved. B. Dropped. C. Changed. D. Disappeared.
10. What does the author want to show in the last paragraph
A. AI and human work can be better combined.
B. AI technology will be a barrier to companies.
C. Businesses will benefit more from AI tools.
D. Humans should develop new versions of AL.
