The bell rang. Jada sighed, slowly moved from the lockers where she had been leaning,

and headed down the hall to her chemistry class. Honors Chemistry! Jada couldn’t believe

试卷第2页，共13页

B．using guests’ comments

D．interviewing the guests

that her mom was making her take the class because Jada’s counselor had said that she had

real talent in science.

Jada had to admit that she liked science and that last year’s class was a breeze, but come

on Honors Chemistry? She wouldn’t know anyone in the class, and they probably wouldn’t

know anyone like her.

The good thing about being late is that it shortened the period a bit. The bad thing is that

it made her seem like she was making a grand entrance. To make matters worse, the only two

seats left in class were at the lab table at the very front of the room.

Jada held her breath and walked in. Everyones eyes were on her. She just knew it. They

were staring at her coal black hair (freshly dyed) , her black lipstick, her black fingernail

polish, and her thrift-store black leather jacket. All she saw were polo shirts and khaki pants.

This can’t get any worse, Jada thought. But at least she didn’t get shouted at by the

teacher. He was too busy talking to a new kid. A HUGE new kid, maybe 6\'4\". He had to

weigh at least 250 pounds. A football player, probably. She hated football players. They

thought they were so great. That group of jocks that hung out by the cafeteria always made

fun of her.

The new kid made his way over to her table with his head down. He had to squeeze into

the seat, and his legs wouldn’t fit under the lab table. He shot Jada a glance and turned red.

Mr. Martin, the teacher, began class with this announcement: Okay, everyone. I know

most of you know each other from last year’s Honors Physical Science class. Jada sighed

loudly. “But just take a minute and introduce yourself to the person sitting at your table.

You’ll be partners. You’ll be working closely together all year.”

Jada rolled her eyes and stared straight ahead. Then she heard a surprisingly soft voice

from next to her. “Hi. I’m Robert. I’m new here.”

4．What can be learned about Jada from the first two paragraphs?

A．She thought this year’s chemistry class would be a breeze.

B．She wasn’t willing to take the Honors Chemistry class.

C．She was angry that her mother made her go to school

D．She found she didn’t like science as she thought.

5．The writer described Jada’s appearance in paragraph 4 in order to ______.

A．reveal how different she was from her classmates

B．explain why she was late for school that morning.

试卷第3页，共13页

C．give readers a general impression of science students.

D．imply that she felt sorry for making a grand entrance

6．In paragraph 5, the phrase “that group of jocks” refers to ______.

A．the new kid

B．Jada’s classmates

C．Jada’s teacher

D．football players

7．According to the passage, which of the following statements is true of the new kid?

A．He was rude.

B．He liked sports.

C．He was shy.

D．He looked sad.

If you’ve ever taken a class in drawing, painting or pottery and in spite of your best

effort, couldn’t make the final result look anything like the model shown, you may have

thought, “I don’t have a creative bone in my body.”

According to some scientists, who for the past 20 years have put the elusive subject of

creativity through the rigors of research, you are underrating yourself. Da Vinci you may

never be, but when it comes to creativity, we are all somewhat blessed. It’s learning to foster

this unique tool of extraordinary productivity, and then applying it in everything you do, that

counts to tell you from figures like Da Vinci.

“Even if we don’t have the good fortune to discover a new chemical element or write a

great story, the love of the creative process for its own sake is available to all,” says Mihaly

Csikszentmihalyi in Creativity: Flow and Psychology of Discovery and Invention.

Most people believe the realm of creativity has been awarded to those perceived to have

special talent. We look upon these “creative geniuses,” as we often call them, with awe and a

bit of envy. Their abilities, most people assume, are bestowed by good genes, or, as if in

Greek mythology, from some kind of divine inspiration.

There is no argument that the world is never short of highly talented and creative people.

They are masters of their trades and stand heads-and-shoulders above commoners, making

new pathways for others to follow, and providing greater context and understanding of our

world. It could be said that without creativity humanity would not evolve so rapidly.

But like a publicly recognized creative baseball player who hones his skill through years

of continuous training, foregoing other pursuits for the sole passion, people who show the

slightest reluctance for arduous labor are bound to witness their boasted ability disappear.

After closely studying 91 creative and influential people, including novelists,

playwrights, composers, musicians and scientists, Csikszentmihalyi concludes that no one

would ignore the sweat they shed and their almost insane willingness to follow their creative

endeavor to the very end, wherever that may be. These are the very things we all can master,

so long as we’d like to.

8．It’s widely believed that creativity comes from__________.

A．good training people receive from artistic classes

B．the tool we learn from masters like Da Vinci

C．the inborn genes or relevant gifts

D．certain Greek historical textbooks

9．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

A．Common people rather than creative ones lead in various professions.

B．People’s admiration of geniuses makes humanity develop quickly.

C．The field of baseball requires more gifts than hard work.

D．The essence of creativity lies in devotion and effort.

10．The underlined word “foregoing” is closest in meaning to .

A．giving up B．combining C．referring to D．extending

11．What is the passage mainly about?

A．How ordinary people and scientists view things differently.

B．People’s misunderstanding of creativity and its true nature.

C．The reasons for the development of various trades and humanity.

D．Ordinary people’s unwillingness to follow the examples of creative ones.

A new commodity brings about a highly profitable, fast-growing industry, urging

antitrust(反垄断) regulators to step in to check those who control its flow. A century ago, the

resource in question was oil. Now similar concerns are being raised by the giants(巨头) that

deal in data, the oil of the digital age. The most valuable firms are Google, Amazon,

Facebook and Microsoft. All look unstoppable.

Such situations have led to calls for the tech giants to be broken up. But size alone is not

试卷第5页，共13页

a crime. The giants’ success has benefited consumers. Few want to live without search

engines or a quick delivery. Far from charging consumers high prices, many of these services

are free (users pay, in effect, by handing over yet more data). And the appearance of new-born

giants suggests that newcomers can make waves, too.

But there is cause for concern. The internet has made data abundant, all-present and far

more valuable, changing the nature of data and competition. Google initially used the data

collected from users to target advertising better. But recently it has discovered that data can

be turned into new services: translation and visual recognition, to be sold to other companies.

Internet companies’ control of data gives them enormous power. So they have a \"God’s eye

view\" of activities in their own markets and beyond.

This nature of data makes the antitrust measures of the past less useful. Breaking up

firms like Google into five small ones would not stop remaking themselves: in time, one of

them would become great again. A rethink is required — and as a new approach starts to

become apparent, two ideas stand out.

The first is that antitrust authorities need to move from the industrial age into the 21st

century. When considering a merger(兼并), for example, they have traditionally used size to

determine when to step in. They now need to take into account the extent of firms’ data

assets(资产) when assessing the impact of deals. The purchase price could also be a signal

that an established company is buying a new-born threat. When this takes place, especially

when a new-born company has no revenue to speak of, the regulators should raise red flags.

The second principle is to loosen the control that providers of on-line services have over

data and give more to those who supply them. Companies could be forced to reveal to

consumers what information they hold and how much money they make from it.

Governments could order the sharing of certain kinds of data, with users’ consent.

Restarting antitrust for the information age will not be easy. But if governments don’t

want a data economy controlled by a few giants, they must act soon.

12．Why is there a call to break up giants?

A．They have controlled the data market.

B．They collect enormous private data.

C．They no longer provide free services.

D．They dismissed some new-born giants.

13．What does the technological innovation in Paragraph 3 indicate?

试卷第6页，共13页

A．Data giants’ technology is very expensive.

B．Google’s idea is popular among data firms.

C．Data can strengthen giants’ controlling position.

D．Data can be turned into new services or products.

14．By paying attention to firms’ data assets, antitrust regulators could

.

A．kill a new threat

B．avoid the size trap

C．favour bigger firms

D．charge higher prices

15．What is the purpose of loosening the giants’ control of data?

A．Big companies could relieve data security pressure.

B．Governments could relieve their financial pressure.

C．Consumers could better protect their privacy.

D．Small companies could get more opportunities.

二、七选五

Artificial—intelligence systems like Grammarly, an automated grammar—checker, are

trained with data. for instance, translation software is fed sentences translated by humans,

Grammarly\'s training data involve a large number of standard error—free sentences and

human—corrected sentences. ___16___ The software then looks at a user\'s writing: if a line

of words seems ungrammatical, it tries to spot how the generally supposed

mistake is most

closely similar to

one from its training inputs.

___17___ Advances in language technology have been impressive in, for example,

speech recognition, which involves another sort of statistical guess—whether or not a stretch

of sound matches a certain line of words. ___18___ . It can rate the tone of an email before

you send it, after being trained on texts that have been assessed by humans, for example as

“admiring” or “confident”.

But grammar is the real magic of language, joining words into structures, joining those

structures into sentences, and doing so in a way that maps onto meaning. ___19___ .

Computers can analyse grammatical sentences fairly well, labeling things like nouns and verb

phrases. But they struggle with sentences that are difficult to analyse, precisely because they

试卷第7页，共13页

are ungrammatical—in other words, written by the kind of person who needs Grammarly.

___20___ But computers don\'t work in meaning or intention, they work in formulae（惯用语）. Humans, by contrast, can usually understand even sentences that are not

grammatically correct, because of the ability to guess the contents of other minds.

Grammar—checking computers illustrate not how bad humans are with language, but just

how good.

A．Grammarly can seem to miss more errors than it marks.

B．One Grammarly feature that works fairly well is feeing analysis.

C．To correct such writing requires knowing what the writer intended.

D．Grammarly has some obvious strengths in understanding meaning or intentions.

E．Computers outpace humans at problems that can be solved with pure maths.

F．Developers also add certain rules to the patterns Grammarty has taught itself.

G．In this decisive structure—meaning connection, machines are no match for humans.

三、完形填空

phones.

stimulated.

___24___.When it’s not there I feel its ___25___like an amputee (被截肢者) still feeling a

(n)___26___leg. It is my entry to culture and fun. I love it. You love yours.

But the comment on this enormous ___27___ in our behavior has been completely

___28___. The central claim is that technology makes us ___29___ what we already know

about life, and it ____30____us developing fully independent selves. And the quality of

human relationships is said to have ____31____. Parents are distracted by work emails at the

dinner table and in the playground; children cry for ____32____ until they finally get an iPad

for Christmas. Gatherings of old friends can’t do a couple of hours ____33____ checking

their Gmail every 10 minutes. Technology sucks the life out of us, and takes our souls

China’s Chang’e 5 mission successfully delivered samples (样本) of moon rock and dust

to Earth on December 17, 2020. It marks the first time in 4 years that moon rocks have

brought back to our planet, after the Soviet Union’s Luna-24 mission in 1976.

While Apollo-era moon rocks were estimated to be about 3 to 4 billion years old, the

material collected by Chang’e 5 is from a site in the northwest region of the moon’s near side.

This area was formed late, and the rocks here are thought to be only about 1.2 billion years

old. That means scientist could learn more about the evolution of the moon and test out new

techniques for estimating the age of geological samples from another planets and moons (卫星).

The Chang’e lunar program, what includes landing two lunar rovers (月球车) on the

moon’s surface, has been remarkably successful. Although Chang’e 5 was a short mission,

but it’s one of the most complex projects undertaking by the Chinese space program so far.

The country is far from done with the moon — Chang’e 6, the second lunar sample return, is

scheduled to be launched in 2023 or 2024.
