Loren Krylzer was living in a small hut and barely getting by on his disability payments. One day, he happened to be watching Antiques Roadshow on TV when he learned that the forgotten old blanket in his closet might be valuable. The Krytzer family heirloom (传家宝) turned out to be an antique (古老的) Novajo weaving from the 19‎ fetched US $1.5 million at auction (拍卖会)。‎ th century that Krytzer ’s blanket was prized for much more than its antiquity. Among Native American tribes, The Navajo are recognized as the most skillful weavers of blankets and rugs. The weaving style is characterized by vivid, varied patterns and exceptional durability. From shearing the sheep, spinning,‎ preparing, and dyeing the wool to the actual weaving process, it takes around 345 hours to create one blanket.‎ Women traditionally wove Navajo blankets while men built the weaving devices. To this day, Navajo people still make high quality blankets and rugs to sell. They believe that, since only God is perfect, their creations should have some imperfection. Another Navajo belief is that their souls are sewn into every weaving, so they intentionally include a hidden loose thread into each piece. This ensures that is isn perfect, and their souls can still escape into the afterlife.‎ The Krylzers also had a loose thread on their road to riches that allowed them to escape the trap of financial ruin. In an unfortunate twist, the family -changing wind’falsl l(ife意外之财) came with a huge tax bill from the government and a lot of imploring relatives. After taking a family vacation in Mexico,‎ buying a new sports car and a couple of real estate purchases, Krytzer lost his disability payments and now get big bills for property taxes and insurance instead. Ironically, the family decided to relocate to a less expensive state to save money.‎ 54. ‎ How did the Krytzer family go from rage to riches?‎ A.

New technology and climate change might make the world more different than we can possibly imagine. So we had better keep an open mind and hope for the best.‎ We have no idea what the job market will look like in 2050. It is generally agreed that machine learning and robotics will change almost every line of work —from producing yoghurt to teaching yoga. However,‎ there are conflicting views about the nature of the change and its urgency. Some believe that within a mere decade or two, billions of people will become economically redundant (多余的) . Others maintain that even in the long run automation will keep creating new jobs and greater prosperity for all.‎ So are we on an edge of a terrifying sudden change, or are such forecasts yet another example of 第 5 页/ 共 9 页 ill-founded Luddite hysteria (勒德分子的歇斯底里) ? It is hard to say. Fears that automation will create massive unemployment go back to the nineteenth century, and so far they have never materialized. Since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, for every job lost to a machine at least one new job was created,‎ and the average standard of living has increased dramatically.‎ Yet there are good reasons to think that this time it is different, and that machine learning will be a real game changer. Humans have two types of abilities —physical and cognitive (认知的) . In the past,‎ machines competed with humans mainly in raw physical abilities, while humans still had a great advantage over machines in cognition. Hence as manual jobs in agriculture and industry were automated,‎ new service jobs emerged that required the kind of cognitive skills only humans possessed:learning,‎ analysing, communicating and above all understanding human emotions. However, AI is now beginning to outperform humans in more and more of these skills, including in the understanding of human emotions.‎ We don’t know of any third field of ac tivity —beyond the physical and the cognitive —where humans will always maintain a secure advantage. It is crucial to realize that the AI revolution is not just about computers getting faster and smarter. It is fueled by breakthroughs in the life sciences and the social sciences as well. The better we understand the biochemical mechanisms that support human emotions,‎ desires and choices, the better computers can become in analyzing human behavior, predicting human decisions, and replacing human drivers, bankers and lawyers.‎ In the last few decades, research in neuroscience and behavioural economics allowed scientists to gain a much better understanding of how humans make decisions. It turned out that our choices of everything from food to mates result not from some mysterious free will, but rather from billions of neurons calculating probabilities within a split second. Boasting ‘human intuition ’(直觉) is actually pattern recognition.‎ 41. ‎ The second paragraph tells us about ____.‎ A. predictions about the role of machine learning in future job market B. the speed at which robotics will take the place of human beings C. the urgency of creating new jobs with the help of automation D. the nature of applying new technology to every line of work 42. ‎ The underlined expression “ill-founded ”in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ___.‎ A. unidentified B. badly-managed C. unproven D. ill-intended 43. ‎ Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?‎ A. Lack of job security might force people to pick up machine learning.‎ B. There is possibility that AI can perform a consulting role as a psychologist.‎ C. The use of automation will make humans more needed than ever before.‎ D. A real game changer likes in making computers become faster and smarter.‎ 44. ‎ What can be concluded from the passage?‎ A. At revolution is similar to the industrial revolution in causing unemployment.‎ B. It ’s crucial that humans maintain an advantage in the third field of activity.‎ C. The process of human decision is controlled by free will rather than neurons.‎ D. The nature of preference at first sight is the result of recognizing patterns.‎ Section C Directions:Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.‎ A . However, mothers and fathers shouldn ’fotrce their kids to go outside of use it as a type of punishment.‎ 第 6 页/ 共 9 页 B. In turn, this aids in the development of confidence and overall good health.‎ C. Recent studies focus not so much on what is lost when nature experience fades, but on what is gained through more exposure to natural settings.‎ D. He acknowledges that NDD is mostly a metaphor for a lifestyle lacking in contact with nature.‎ E. Schools that use outdoor classrooms and other forms of experiential education produce significant student gains in science, language and math.‎ F. Experts believe that problems such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (注意力缺乏多动症)‎ can be relieved through contact with nature.‎ Losing Touch with Nature May Make You Sick For something that ’s not actually a recognized medical condition. N-aDt uerf iec i t Disorder (NDD )has gotten a lot of attention since it was first coined in 2005. Writer Richard Louv came up with the term in his book, Last Child in the Woods: Saving Our children from Nature-Deficit Disorder. ___67___ Louv explained that children who play outside often are less likely to become ill, stressed, or aggressive compared to those who watch a lot of television and spend most of their free time indoor. Indeed, studies appear to back up that claim by noting that children who spend a significant amount of time outdoors tend to have better mental and physical health. ___68___ Nevertheless, they may be worsened by staying inside watching TV, playing video games, or being glued to a smartphone. What’smore, research also suggests that getting a nature fix can help boost the immune system.‎ According to Louv, the effects of NDD can be lessened or even reversed by making sure parents encourage their kids to enjoy playing outdoors as much as they can. ___69___ Rather, they should lead by example, spending time with them in the park, at the beach, camping, and doing other activities, Louv said.‎ He added that children learn many important and practical skills while interacting with nature, like risk-taking, independence, and decision-making ___70___.‎ Ⅳ. Summary Writing Directions:Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.‎ After you have a long day at school or work, getting a bit of shut-eye on the way home is sometimes just what the doctor ordered. But sleeping too long and ending up way past your destination is a real possibility. According to research from sleep specialists in the US, there are several possible explanations for being able to nap during a train or bus ride and still get off at the right stop.‎ One theory states that some people have established sleep pattern that allow them to sleep and wake up at precisely the same time each day. That means their body knows when to wake up and get off the train.‎ Another theory is that people are more likely to recognize the name of their stop, so their brain wakes them up when they hear it announced. Alternatively, those who can effectively sleep on the train might actually be waking up at every stop, but not long enough to become conscious until they know they reached the right place.‎ These short naps might work for those who are really exhausted, for even a brief rest has the benefit of reducing stress and helping you relax a little. But if you are travelling really far each day, chances are that you will reach rapid eye movement (REM )sleep cycles. According to Dr. Marc Leavey, who has studied this skill, “You’re more likely to be tried or disoriented when you wake up from these dreams, so if you sleeping for longer than 20 minutes, you may find it harder to wake up out of this dream state. If you a deep REM sleep, you m’orerelikely to miss your stop or sleep through it. ”Not everyone can do it, but some people can run their sleep cycle like clockwork and take a nap on public transportation.‎ Ⅴ.
