Frederick Phiri is the junk-art king of Zambia: at just 22,he started to earn an international reputation for being able to make complex and elegant sculptures from scrap(废弃的) metal found in his community.
Phiri's father died when he was starting primary school. Then his mother abandoned him and he had to stay with his grandfather. His grandfather paid for his schooling through primary school but when he entered secondary school, he had to get various jobs to pay for his fees. Yet even in school, he was always drawing and making things in class.
After graduating, he did what he could to support himself by making animal sculptures from wires and sold them to tourists. His work was so popular that it caught the eye of Karen Beattie, director of Project Luangwa, a nonprofit organization dedicated to education and economic development in central Africa.
"I introduced him to a local welder(焊工),"Beattie told Newsweek .
In 2017,Phiri worked with welder Moses Mbewe during the rainy season, helping to make a complex set of doors for Project Luangwa. The piece sparked an idea in Beattie's mind:"I handed him a bunch of scrap metal and said,‘ Make something with this.'And he did. It was wonderful."
Today, Phiri continues his art, using pieces of junk people bring him-keys, broken bike chains, old metal plugs and whatever scrap metal is lying around. He then turns the junk into abstract animals- elephants, cranes, giraffes, chameleons- and sells them at Project Luangwa headquarters. The community has recognized his talents.
"My dream is to earn enough to study art at the Evelyn Hone College in Lusaka and be able to make a living from it,"Phiri said,"and then to make very large sculptures. "
24.What is Phiri known for
A.Serving his community. B.Collecting works of art.
C.Being the king of Zambia. D.Turning trash into treasure.
25.What can we learn about Phiri from paragraph 2
A.He had an unhappy childhood.
B.He paid for his primary schooling.
C.He had to support his grandfather.
D.He missed school to do part-time jobs.
26.How does Phiri feel about his future
A.Uncertain. B.Confident. C.Depressed. D.Satisfied.
27.What can be a suitable title for the text
A.A Successful Path of Art
B.The Junk-art King of Zambia
C.A Young Man's Wildest Dream
D.The Modern Junk Works of Art
【答案】24.D

Whom should you marry Where should you live How should you spend your time For centuries,people have relied on their gut instincts( 直觉) to figure out the answers to these life-changing questions. Now, though, there is a better way. We are living through a data explosion, as vast amounts of information about all aspects of human behavior have become more and more accessible. We can use this big data to help determine the best course to chart.
There has long been overwhelming- and often surprising- evidence that algorithms(算法) can be much better than people at making difficult decisions. Researchers have collected data on various kinds of choices people make, the information they base those choices on,and how things turn out. They have found, for example, that a simple data-driven algorithm would have been better than judges at deciding whether a defendant should stay in jail( 监狱)or be released; better than doctors at deciding whether a patient should get a procedure; and better than school principals at deciding which teachers should be promoted.
The power of data analysis has been proved in the sports and business worlds, too. As made famous by the book and movie Moneyball ,baseball teams found that algorithms were better than scouts(物色优秀运动员的人) at picking players, and better than managers at picking strategies. In finance, the hedge fund( 避险基金) Renaissance Technologies dramatically defeated competitors by seeking out patterns in stock market data and using them to inform its investment strategy. Tech firms in Silicon Valley have found that data from experiments provides better insights into how to design their websites than designers could.
These are the early days of the data revolution in decision-making. I am not claiming that we can completely outsource(外包) our lifestyle choices to algorithms, though we might get to that point in the future. I am claiming instead that we can all dramatically improve our decision-making by consulting evidence mined from thousands or millions of people who faced dilemmas similar to ours. And we can do that now.
28.What makes people better at finding answers to life-changing questions
A.People's better gut instincts. B.Changed human behavior.
C.The modern information era. D.Various courses accessible.
29.According to paragraph 2, algorithms might NOT defeat people in____.
A.court rulings . B.job promotions
C.operative estimations D.teaching practices
30.What can we learn from paragraph 3
A.The plot of the movie Moneyball is related to successful data analysis.
B.Scouts and managers are not needed in successful baseball teams.
C.The hedge fund Renaissance Technologies had some financial problems.
D.Tech firms in Silicon Valley mainly relied on data to design websites.
31.Which of the following will the author most probably agree with
A.The modern information era is mature enough to take advantage of .
B.People should outsource all the lifestyle choices to algorithms.
C.With big data people can learn from countless similar examples.
D.Face-to-face consultation will be the major trend in the future.

We can use this big data to help determine the best course to chart.你应该和谁结婚 你应该住在哪里 你应该如何度过你的时间 几个世纪以来,人们一直依靠自己的直觉来寻找这些改变生活的问题的答案。不过,现在有了更好的办法。我们正生活在一个数据爆炸的时代,关于人类行为各个方面的大量信息变得越来越容易获取。我们可以利用这些大数据来帮助确定绘制地图的最佳路线。可知在现代信息时代里我们可以利用这些大数据来寻找改变人生的问题的答案; 故答案为 C 。
29.推理判断题。根据 They have found, for example, that a simple data-driven algorithm would have been better than judges
at deciding whether a defendant should stay in jail( 监狱)or be released; better than doctors at deciding whether a patient
should get a procedure; and better than school principals at deciding which teachers should be promoted.例如,他们发现,一个简单的数据驱动算法在决定被告是应该留在监狱还是释放时,会比法官做得更好;在决定病人是否应该接受手术方面比医生做得更好;而且比学校校长更擅长决定哪些老师应该升职。可知算法在根据固定模式和规章制度方面很有优势,但在教学实践活动中就不一定了能够比老师强了;故答案为D。
30.细节理解题。根据 The power of data analysis has been proved in the sports and business worlds, too. As made famous by the book and movie Moneyball ,baseball teams found that algorithms were better than scouts(物色优秀运动员的人) at picking players, and
better than managers at picking strategies. In finance, the hedge fund( 避险基金) Renaissance Technologies dramatically
defeated competitors by seeking out patterns in stock market data and using them to inform its investment strategy. Tech firms in Silicon Valley have found that data from experiments provides better insights into how to design their websites than designers could.数据分析的力量在体育和商业领域也得到了证明。正如书和电影《点球成金》所述,棒球队发现算法在挑选球员方面比球探好,在挑选策略方面比经理好。在金融领域,对冲基金文艺复兴科技公司通过从股市数据中寻找规律,并利用这些规律制定投资策略,戏剧性地击败了竞争对手。硅谷的科技公司发现,实验数据比设计师更能帮助他们了解如何设计网站。可知电影《点球成金》的情节与成功的数据分析有关;故答案为 A。
31.推理判断题。根据 I am claiming instead that we can all dramatically improve our decision-making by consulting evidence
mined from thousands or millions of people who faced dilemmas similar to ours. And we can do that now.相反,我认为我们都可以通过咨询从成千上万与我们面临类似困境的人那里获得的证据来显著改善我们的决策。我们现在就能做到。可知作者会赞成有了大数据,人们可以从无数类似的例子中学习;故答案为 C。

Gardeners who use pesticides are contributing to the decline of British songbirds, a study suggests. Scientists have urged people to stop"spraying their gardens with poisons"in order to halt bird decline and adopt instead wildlife- friendly practices. The results of the University of Sussex study, which researchers call the first of its kind, were published in the journal Science ofthe Total Environment.
The experiment, which surveyed 615 gardens in Britain, found 25% fewer house sparrows when glyphosate(草甘 膦) was used regularly. This is an ingredient found in commonly used herbicide(除草剂) brands such as Roundup or Gallup. Slug pellets(鼻涕虫杀虫剂) also seemed to have an impact on bird sightings; in gardens where Slug pellets were used,house sparrow numbers were down by almost 40% .
Prof. Dave Goulson, of the school of life sciences at the University of Sussex, said,"The UK has 22 million gardens, which collectively could be a fantastic refuge for wildlife,but not if they are overly tidy and sprayed with poisons. We just don't need pesticides in our gardens. Many towns around the world are now pesticide free. We should simply ban the use of these poisons in urban areas, following the example of France."The Royal Horticultural Society, the UK's leading gardening charity, said the use of pesticides and herbicides should be avoided if possible and they should only be used, if ever, in small and targeted applications.
The research also found that those who adopted wildlife-friendly practices such as planting native shrubs and flowers, or digging a wildlife pond, saw more birds than those who did not. Cannelle Tassin de Montaigu, a PhD researcher within the school of life sciences and an author of the study, said, "It's encouraging to find that simple measures,such as planting native shrubs and trees and creating a pond, together with avoiding the use of pesticides, really make a measurable difference to the number of birds you will see in your garden.
32.What does the underlined word"halt" in paragraph 1 most probably mean
A.Stop. B.Attract. C.Note. D.Witness.
33.Why are the statistics mentioned in paragraph 2
A.To reveal the severe influence of pesticides on birds.
B.To compare the effects of two kinds of pesticides.
C.To convince readers of the importance of house sparrows.
D.To help gardeners choose the proper pesticides.
34.What can be inferred from Prof. Dave Goulson's words
A.The ideal places for wildlife in the UK are extremely tidy gardens.
B.The gardens in the UK are so tidy that pesticides are not needed.
C.Pesticides should be prohibited from use throughout the UK.
D.Some countries like France have made urban areas pesticide free.
35.What is the last paragraph mainly about
A.Alternative methods to keep gardens tidy.
B.Assistant ways to increase the number of birds.
C.Gardeners' attitudes towards the experiment.
D.Other researchers' interest in the experiment.
【答案】32.A
33.A

33.主旨大意题。根据The experiment, which surveyed 615 gardens in Britain, found 25% fewer house sparrows when glyphosate(草甘 膦) was
used regularly. This is an ingredient found in commonly used herbicide(除草剂) brands such as Roundup or Gallup. Slug
pellets(鼻涕虫杀虫剂) also seemed to have an impact on bird sightings; in gardens where Slug pellets were used,house

余选项。
There are things we all do, or don't do, that lead us to waste far more time than we realize in the moment. The biggest time regret, I think, is dwelling on(沉湎于) mistakes and shortcomings.
36. In a study, researchers asked subjects to spend money during an imaginary trip to the mall. Before "shopping", some subjects were asked to recall a past financial mistake.They found those subjects were more likely to incur(招致) debt. Dwelling made them feel like a failure and told them there was no need to try, because they already sucked. So, they got further into debt when already feeling like an overspender. Of course, we don't want to skip over our mistakes or ignore them either. 37.
I also missed too much for fear of my own shortcomings. 38. I wanted to travel after high school, but I went to university close to home instead, because I was too shy to meet new people and was afraid I couldn't make it in another city. After university, I wanted to be a writer, but I decided to find a more stable,accessible job instead, because that's easier. 39. I decided to find work I actually enjoyed, travel more and live somewhere else. I made a ton of mistakes along the way, but the bigger mistake was not trying sooner.
40. So, never beat yourself up over your mistakes and shortcomings. The sooner you learn from them, the sooner you can free up your time and energy to live the life you want.
A. Eventually, I got tired of this.
B. Regret is another big waste of time.
C. I was doing it for the wrong reason that I was afraid to fail.
D. For years, I stayed in a comfortable place, doing things I disliked.
E. The goal is to learn something from them, and then release the failure.
F. When you finally relate it to your own past experiences, it probably becomes easier.
G. Dwelling on mistakes wastes time and, worse still, makes us more likely to repeat mistakes.

The park bench was deserted as I sat down to read beneath a willow tree. It must be as sick, for the branches were kind of yellow and dry. I was a deserted girl. Endless quarrels with my parents had left me nowhere to go but this desolate( 荒无人烟的) corner of the park. As I sat on the bench, things that happened recently began to flash through. Days seemed months to me recently. No cozy home to stay. No happy memories about my life. No considerate family members to talk to. Even the book I was reading was no fun. Not content with life, I had a good reason to frown, for the world was intended to drag me down.
And if that were not enough to ruin my day, a young boy out of breath approached me, all tired from play. He stood right in front of me with his head tilted( 倾斜) down and said with great excitement,"Look what I found!" In his hand was a flower. What a pitiful sight,its petals( 花瓣) were all worn- not enough rain, or too little light. He must have picked the flower from somewhere shady and sunless, just like where I was staying these days.I couldn't help being self-pitying. Wanting him to take his dead flower away and go off to play, I faked a smile and then looked away."Why couldn't everyone just leave me be!"I thought to myself, upset and gloomy.
But instead of leaving, he sat next to me and placed the flower to his nose and declared loudly with certainty,"It sure smells pretty and it must be beautiful, too. That's why I picked it; here, it is for you." The"weed"before me was dying or dead, not vibrant with colors, orange, yellow or red-anyone having eyes can see that clearly! But I knew I must take it, or he might never leave. So I reached for the flower, and replied, "Just what I need."Strangely, instead of placing the flower in my hand, he held it in mid-air without any reason or plan.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Casting a curious glance at the boy's eyes, I was hugely shocked.
……
"I had to make a change," I thought to myself.
【答案】Casting a curious glance at the boy's eyes,I was hugely shocked. In the pure and sunny face were just a pair of eyes,somewhat hollow and focus less."He was blind!" I felt myself choked as if there were a lump in my throat. With watery eyes,I took the flower from his hand carefully and praised it as the very best one." Have a nice day!" the boy smiled broadly and then ran off briskly before l had time to convey the slightest appreciation. I sat there and wondered how a blind little boy managed to see a self-pitying girl under a sick willow tree and how he even knew clearly of my dreadful despair.
"l had to make a change ,"l thought to myself . For all of those times l myself had been blind towards the world around me. Somehow,through the eyes of the blind boy, at last I could see my real problem. I promised to step out of the shady corner, open my eyes to the beauty of the world. Holding the wilted flower up to my nose,l took a deep sniff. A wave of faint fragrance lingering in my heart, I couldn't help smiling just as the boy had done. Never did he know his weed-like flower brought the first glimmer of sunshine to a girl's deserted world.

Frederick Phiri is the junk-art king of Zambia: at just 22,he started to earn an international reputation for being able to make complex and elegant sculptures from scrap(废弃的) metal found in his community.
Phiri's father died when he was starting primary school. Then his mother abandoned him and he had to stay with his grandfather. His grandfather paid for his schooling through primary school but when he entered secondary school, he had to get various jobs to pay for his fees. Yet even in school, he was always drawing and making things in class.
After graduating, he did what he could to support himself by making animal sculptures from wires and sold them to tourists. His work was so popular that it caught the eye of Karen Beattie, director of Project Luangwa, a nonprofit organization dedicated to education and economic development in central Africa.
"I introduced him to a local welder(焊工),"Beattie told Newsweek .
In 2017,Phiri worked with welder Moses Mbewe during the rainy season, helping to make a complex set of doors for Project Luangwa. The piece sparked an idea in Beattie's mind:"I handed him a bunch of scrap metal and said,‘ Make something with this.'And he did. It was wonderful."
Today, Phiri continues his art, using pieces of junk people bring him-keys, broken bike chains, old metal plugs and whatever scrap metal is lying around. He then turns the junk into abstract animals- elephants, cranes, giraffes, chameleons- and sells them at Project Luangwa headquarters. The community has recognized his talents.
"My dream is to earn enough to study art at the Evelyn Hone College in Lusaka and be able to make a living from it,"Phiri said,"and then to make very large sculptures. "
24.What is Phiri known for
A.Serving his community. B.Collecting works of art.
C.Being the king of Zambia. D.Turning trash into treasure.
25.What can we learn about Phiri from paragraph 2
A.He had an unhappy childhood.
B.He paid for his primary schooling.
C.He had to support his grandfather.
D.He missed school to do part-time jobs.
26.How does Phiri feel about his future
A.Uncertain. B.Confident. C.Depressed. D.Satisfied.
27.What can be a suitable title for the text
A.A Successful Path of Art
B.The Junk-art King of Zambia
C.A Young Man's Wildest Dream
D.The Modern Junk Works of Art

Whom should you marry Where should you live How should you spend your time For centuries,people have relied on their gut instincts( 直觉) to figure out the answers to these life-changing questions. Now, though, there is a better way. We are living through a data explosion, as vast amounts of information about all aspects of human behavior have become more and more accessible. We can use this big data to help determine the best course to chart.
There has long been overwhelming- and often surprising- evidence that algorithms(算法) can be much better than people at making difficult decisions. Researchers have collected data on various kinds of choices people make, the information they base those choices on,and how things turn out. They have found, for example, that a simple data-driven algorithm would have been better than judges at deciding whether a defendant should stay in jail( 监狱)or be released; better than doctors at deciding whether a patient should get a procedure; and better than school principals at deciding which teachers should be promoted.
The power of data analysis has been proved in the sports and business worlds, too. As made famous by the book and movie Moneyball ,baseball teams found that algorithms were better than scouts(物色优秀运动员的人) at picking players, and better than managers at picking strategies. In finance, the hedge fund( 避险基金) Renaissance Technologies dramatically defeated competitors by seeking out patterns in stock market data and using them to inform its investment strategy. Tech firms in Silicon Valley have found that data from experiments provides better insights into how to design their websites than designers could.
These are the early days of the data revolution in decision-making. I am not claiming that we can completely outsource(外包) our lifestyle choices to algorithms, though we might get to that point in the future. I am claiming instead that we can all dramatically improve our decision-making by consulting evidence mined from thousands or millions of people who faced dilemmas similar to ours. And we can do that now.
28.What makes people better at finding answers to life-changing questions
A.People's better gut instincts. B.Changed human behavior.
C.The modern information era. D.Various courses accessible.
29.According to paragraph 2, algorithms might NOT defeat people in____.
A.court rulings . B.job promotions
C.operative estimations D.teaching practices
30.What can we learn from paragraph 3
A.The plot of the movie Moneyball is related to successful data analysis.
B.Scouts and managers are not needed in successful baseball teams.
C.The hedge fund Renaissance Technologies had some financial problems.
D.Tech firms in Silicon Valley mainly relied on data to design websites.
31.Which of the following will the author most probably agree with
A.The modern information era is mature enough to take advantage of .
B.People should outsource all the lifestyle choices to algorithms.
C.With big data people can learn from countless similar examples.
D.Face-to-face consultation will be the major trend in the future.

Gardeners who use pesticides are contributing to the decline of British songbirds, a study suggests. Scientists have urged people to stop"spraying their gardens with poisons"in order to halt bird decline and adopt instead wildlife- friendly practices. The results of the University of Sussex study, which researchers call the first of its kind, were published in the journal Science ofthe Total Environment.
The experiment, which surveyed 615 gardens in Britain, found 25% fewer house sparrows when glyphosate(草甘 膦) was used regularly. This is an ingredient found in commonly used herbicide(除草剂) brands such as Roundup or Gallup. Slug pellets(鼻涕虫杀虫剂) also seemed to have an impact on bird sightings; in gardens where Slug pellets were used,house sparrow numbers were down by almost 40% .
Prof. Dave Goulson, of the school of life sciences at the University of Sussex, said,"The UK has 22 million gardens, which collectively could be a fantastic refuge for wildlife,but not if they are overly tidy and sprayed with poisons. We just don't need pesticides in our gardens. Many towns around the world are now pesticide free. We should simply ban the use of these poisons in urban areas, following the example of France."The Royal Horticultural Society, the UK's leading gardening charity, said the use of pesticides and herbicides should be avoided if possible and they should only be used, if ever, in small and targeted applications.
The research also found that those who adopted wildlife-friendly practices such as planting native shrubs and flowers, or digging a wildlife pond, saw more birds than those who did not. Cannelle Tassin de Montaigu, a PhD researcher within the school of life sciences and an author of the study, said, "It's encouraging to find that simple measures,such as planting native shrubs and trees and creating a pond, together with avoiding the use of pesticides, really make a measurable difference to the number of birds you will see in your garden.
32.What does the underlined word"halt" in paragraph 1 most probably mean
A.Stop. B.Attract. C.Note. D.Witness.
33.Why are the statistics mentioned in paragraph 2
A.To reveal the severe influence of pesticides on birds.
B.To compare the effects of two kinds of pesticides.
C.To convince readers of the importance of house sparrows.
D.To help gardeners choose the proper pesticides.
34.What can be inferred from Prof. Dave Goulson's words
A.The ideal places for wildlife in the UK are extremely tidy gardens.
B.The gardens in the UK are so tidy that pesticides are not needed.
C.Pesticides should be prohibited from use throughout the UK.
D.Some countries like France have made urban areas pesticide free.
35.What is the last paragraph mainly about
A.Alternative methods to keep gardens tidy.
B.Assistant ways to increase the number of birds.
C.Gardeners' attitudes towards the experiment.
D.Other researchers' interest in the experiment.

There are things we all do, or don't do, that lead us to waste far more time than we realize in the moment. The biggest time regret, I think, is dwelling on(沉湎于) mistakes and shortcomings.
36. In a study, researchers asked subjects to spend money during an imaginary trip to the mall. Before "shopping", some subjects were asked to recall a past financial mistake.They found those subjects were more likely to incur(招致) debt. Dwelling made them feel like a failure and told them there was no need to try, because they already sucked. So, they got further into debt when already feeling like an overspender. Of course, we don't want to skip over our mistakes or ignore them either. 37.
I also missed too much for fear of my own shortcomings. 38. I wanted to travel after high school, but I went to university close to home instead, because I was too shy to meet new people and was afraid I couldn't make it in another city. After university, I wanted to be a writer, but I decided to find a more stable,accessible job instead, because that's easier. 39. I decided to find work I actually enjoyed, travel more and live somewhere else. I made a ton of mistakes along the way, but the bigger mistake was not trying sooner.
40. So, never beat yourself up over your mistakes and shortcomings. The sooner you learn from them, the sooner you can free up your time and energy to live the life you want.
A. Eventually, I got tired of this.
B. Regret is another big waste of time.
C. I was doing it for the wrong reason that I was afraid to fail.
D. For years, I stayed in a comfortable place, doing things I disliked.
E. The goal is to learn something from them, and then release the failure.
F. When you finally relate it to your own past experiences, it probably becomes easier.
G. Dwelling on mistakes wastes time and, worse still, makes us more likely to repeat mistakes.

64. ( wise), kindheartedness and courage are the three virtues of the mean way that will keep stable all social relations.

67.【答案】Casting a curious glance at the boy's eyes,I was hugely shocked. In the pure and sunny face were just a pair of eyes,somewhat hollow and focus less."He was blind!" I felt myself choked as if there were a lump in my throat. With watery eyes,I took the flower from his hand carefully and praised it as the very best one." Have a nice day!" the boy smiled broadly and then ran off briskly before l had time to convey the slightest appreciation. I sat there and wondered how a blind little boy managed to see a self-pitying girl under a sick willow tree and how he even knew clearly of my dreadful despair.
"l had to make a change ,"l thought to myself . For all of those times l myself had been blind towards the world around me. Somehow,through the eyes of the blind boy, at last I could see my real problem. I promised to step out of the shady corner, open my eyes to the beauty of the world. Holding the wilted flower up to my nose,l took a deep sniff. A wave of faint fragrance lingering in my heart, I couldn't help smiling just as the boy had done. Never did he know his weed-like flower brought the first glimmer of sunshine to a girl's deserted world.
