Like other cities in New Jersey’s Rust Belt (铁锈地带), Paterson has fallen on hard times, with its once-famous textile (纺织品) industry in disrepair and its schools abandoned.
Strickland, an expert in school design and instructor at MIT in Boston, had been hired as a consultant to help Paterson find sites for new schools. The architect hatched a grand plan to help revitalize (复兴) Paterson’s schools and the city itself.
Six career academies are holding classes at old sites. These small changes have not gone unnoticed. The city, as the residents expected, has the potential to shine.
A nearly unoccupied three-story shopping mall houses two schools, one focused on medical careers, the other on media arts and urban planning. English and math teachers for the two schools lead classes in storefronts that were empty just a year ago. Across town, under the thick wooden beams (横 梁 ) of an old textile factory and a train engine plant, students with disabilities will learn about careers with the region’s transportation systems.
Strickland requires his graduate students at MIT to help Paterson construct models for new building projects in the city. Jane Riesman, one of Strickland’s students, has been working with her kids on an educational park that would replace a wasteland of lifeless asphalt (沥 ) and grass that stretches between two downtown schools. The surrounding neighborhood is hardly inspiring; pulling-down of a high-rise housing project is underway, showering dust everywhere. But Riesman’s students envision a very different place. One of the student models includes a swimming pool, skating court, climbing wall, sandbox, and a pond with a fountain and lots of trees. “It’s fun, and it makes us feel like we’re in charge and helping the

community,” says 15-year-old Marilyn Medina, one of the model’s creators.
Strickland says it’s important for the students to dream. “They’re setting a tone for the town,” he says. “The kids can push the envelope and change the culture.”
24.What was Paterson like in the past according to paragraph 1
A. It fell into severe disrepair.
B. It rarely produced any iron.
C. Its textile industry was well-known.
D. Its schools were completely deserted.
25.What was the residents ’ attitude towards Strickland’s plan
A. Opposed. B. Favorable. C. Dismissive. D .Uncaring.
26.What can we infer about Riesman’s students
A. Diligent and innocent. B. Funny and responsible.
C. Honest and trustworthy. D. Imaginative and helpful.
27.What does the text focus on
A. Transforming old buildings to shine.
B. Revitalizing the city’s shopping mall. C. Developing students ’ logical thinking. D .Witnessing the rise and fall of Paterson.
C
Artificial intelligence—or AI—is the computer code (代码) that allows a machine to do something that normally requires a human brain. On TikTok, for instance, AI sorts the posts so that the first ones you see are likely to be those you’d prefer. But before an AI can do any of that, developers must train it. And the training consumes energy.
AI training is powered mostly by fossil (化 ) fuels, according to one of the largest studies of its kind. Less than 25 percent of AIs use low-carbon energy sources such as hydroelectricity and nuclear power during training. In fact, researchers now worry that training ’ s appetite for energy could soon become a huge problem. The energy to develop AI comes out of the electrical net. And in most parts of the world, making electricity emits (排 放 ) carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the air.
Language-processing AI systems learn by devouring (吞 ) texts in a particular language. This might include “reading” everything ever published online in some language, including libraries full of old books that have been digitized. Such data-intensive training uses a lot of energy. To translate between English and Chinese, for example, an AI model may deal with
· 英语试题第 5页( 共 12页)
millions or even billions of translated books and articles. In this way, it learns which words and phrases match. Later, when given a new text, it recommends its own translation.
In 2019, researchers calculated the impact of developing AI model named Transformer. It released a massive 626, 000 pounds of carbon dioxide. That’s equal to the greenhouse gases that would be poured by five American cars from when they were made to when they were junked.
Today, most AI development happens at data centers. These computer-filled buildings account for some 2 percent US electricity use and 1 percent of global energy use. Some AI experts have sounded an alarm about the threat these energy giants pose.
28.What is AI training mainly energized by
A. Fossil fuels. B. Solar energy. C .Nuclear energy. D. Greenhouse gases.
29.What do we know about the language-processing AI systems
A. They process limited texts. B. They will replace translators.
C. They seldom read digital books. D. They are energy-consuming.
30.Why does the author mention Transformer in paragraph 4
A. To highlight its significance. B. To speak highly ofAI’s power.
C. To demonstrate researchers ’ creativity. D. To stress its effect on the environment.
31.What does the author imply in the last paragraph
A .AI’s development poses a threat to data centers.
B. The energy consumption ofAI can’t be ignored. C .AI is effectively transforming the way we learn. D. People should take action to reduce gas emission.
D
Decades of increasing corn and soya bean production have turned Brazil into an agricultural powerhouse, which also led to the destruction of the Amazon rainforest. That has long put farmers and environmentalists in disagreement. But a study released in October by the Federal University of Minas Gerais (UFMG) and Rainforest Foundation Norway (RFN) shows the extent to which deforestation is hurting farmers too.
The report shows that the practice of clear-cutting in the Brazilian Amazon led to reduced crop production, resulting in total economic losses of about $1 billion between 2006 and 2019. The net revenues (收 ) for soya beans dropped by 10% over that time, while corn revenues dropped by 20%. Anders Krogh, a specialist forest adviser at RFN, says these findings demonstrate the danger deforestation poses to global food security.

When ancient forests become rolling plains, a delicate balance of water cycle is disturbed. As trees breathe, they turn water into vapour ( 蒸 ), which goes on to form large, thick rain clouds, and has a cooling effect on the region. This recycling process also influences atmospheric circulation (循环), which plays a key role in temperature regulation in the Amazon basin. The effects are the severest in the most deforested regions. Less rain and hotter days mean smaller harvests and smaller revenues.
Preventing further deforestation in Brazil’s southern Amazon could slow the trend. Plus, reforesting could even change rainfall trends: the report concludes that if the Brazilian state of Pará were to reforest 55,000 km of farming land, the rain could come on average five days earlier, and up to 19 in some areas. For now, though, that seems like a tall order. Agricultural firms in Brazil tend to treat such reports and the researchers who produce them with doubt. The term “agri-phobic (农业恐惧)” is often used to describe scientists who criticize the country’s farming practices. At the grassroots level, despite the increasing costs of adapting to drier conditions, Brazilian farmers doubt the claims that lower production results from climate change or deforestation.
Britaldo Soares-Filho, a researcher at UFMG and the report’s lead author, hopes that concentrating on the financial effect of deforestation, rather than abstract modelling, can change farmers ’ minds. Sustainable farming practices, he urges, are in the economic interests of agribusiness.
32. How does the author develop paragraph 2
A. By listing statistics. B. By citing a saying.
C. By making an assumption. D. By introducing a concept.
33.Which is close to the underlined idiom “a tall order” in meaning in paragraph 4
A .A hard nut. B .A big fish.
C .A helping hand. D .A red-letter day.
34.What does Britaldo Soares-Filho mean
A. Logging contributes to financial increase.
B .Abstract modelling makes a big difference.
C. Clear-cutting puts global food security in great danger.
D. Farmers should focus on the financial impact of deforestation.
35.What is the best title for the text
A. Deforestation: it boosts revenues
B .Water cycle: it disturbs agriculture

According to scientist Shirley Mueller, collecting feeds the pleasure center of the brain, but without the drawbacks of alcohol or smoking. “ 36 .” says Mueller. “And it’s also a way for the collector to temporarily let go of the burdens in their lives and find joy in the moment.”
37 . More than 100,000 years ago, our ancestors searched for stones, shells, and other useless objects just as they hunted for food. In modern times, while some people collect as a statement of who they are, others collect as an investment or a source ofpleasure.
Collecting requires attaining knowledge. You have to figure out where you can find the desired items, what they’re worth, and how you will organize and display your collections. Those activities stimulate areas of the brain involved in its functioning, skills that include working memory, multitasking, and controlling impulse (脉搏). 38 .
On a physiological level, research in Frontiers in Human Neuroscience shows that physical objects have unique effects on brain functions specifically related to memory. Meanwhile, visualizing objects stimulates many areas of the brain. Each object is associated with a person, experience, or moment in time, and you can better recall those things because
you have a reminder. 39 . Each item is a clue for your memory.
40 . Collectors often report that the friendship of other collectors is one of the most rewarding aspects of collecting. Interacting with sellers, other collectors, or even admirers of your collection can also serve as a foundation for relationship-building.
It can develop both a sense of belonging and individuality.
A. Of course, collecting is not a new phenomenon
B. It is a bit challenging and tiring for us to display C. Collecting can be a form of exercise for the mind
D. In that way, collections act as a physical time machine
E. Collecting is a way to feel a sense of safety and comfort

My Dream Job
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. It’s my honor to be here to deliver a speech.
第 节 ( 满分 25 分)
阅读下 材料 ,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段 ,使之构成 篇完整的短 。 It was New Year’s Day. I made a resolution to find my stray ( 失的) dog, Puppy-Rocky.
In the morning, I could hear icy rain knocking the windows. I said a quick prayer for Puppy-Rocky. He was out there somewhere in the storm, and I could just feel it. Sure, it had been three months since he’d gone missing, but I still had faith. It was the season for miracles (奇迹).
That fall, Puppy-Rocky, my sweet dog, had disappeared from my parents ’ house in California. He had been staying with them while I was between apartments. At the time, I lived and worked in New York City. I was staying with friends until I signed my lease (租约) on a new place. Puppy-Rocky had gotten out of my parents ’ house two days before I was set to fly back home to pick him up.
My mom and I spent that entire visit searching for him. Mom was the family’s resident
“realist”, which meant she spent a whole lot of time trying to prepare me for the worst. “He’s either been hit by a car or been taken in by someone who found him,” she said. I rolled my eyes. Mom always supported me, but this time she doubted. She could have done with a little more faith!
Besides, though I couldn’t explain it, I believed I’d see my Puppy-Rocky again. His barks never faded away. He’d been homeless when I first met him, a naughty little dog that had survived all on his own. If any dog could do the impossible, it was my Puppy-Rocky. Even after I returned to New York City without him and the weeks stretched into months, deep down I had this feeling that we’dbe reunited.
Now, home again for the holidays, I was determined to pick up my search. I grabbed

Puppy-Rocky’s carrier, loaded it into the car, and then asked my mom to drive me to the shelter for the homeless dogs, hoping he’d been found.
“Dave, you have to be realistic,” my mom said as we headed to the garage. “He’s been gone too long. You’re not going to find him.”
