thisquadraticequation(二次方程式)”wouldleavetheclassroomatalossandthelecturetheatreunimpressed.(但是“解這個(gè)二次方程式”會(huì)讓教室里的學(xué)生不知所措，也讓講座廳里的人無動(dòng)于衷。)”可知，二次方程式可能會(huì)讓年輕的學(xué)習(xí)者感到困惑。故選B。2．細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中“Hisnewbookwillappealtomanymorethanjustmathematicians,foritstopicisuniversal:howtoanalysechance,uncertaintyandrisk.(他的新書將吸引的不僅僅是數(shù)學(xué)家，因?yàn)樗闹黝}是普遍的：如何分析機(jī)會(huì)、不確定性和風(fēng)險(xiǎn)。)”可知，這本書對(duì)普通人來說很有意義，這是它最大的賣點(diǎn)。故選D。3．推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段中“ProfessorSpiegelhalter’sexplorationofsuchquestionsisdelightful.First,heusesthemtoillustratebroaderideasabouthowprobabilityandstatisticswork.SoadiscussionofvaccinesafetyproceedstoBayes’stheorem(貝葉斯定理),aprocedureforimprovingone’sjudgmentofprobabilitiesasnewevidencecomestolight.ThejoyofProfessorSpiegelhalter’sapproachisthathereachesthisdeeptruththroughnothingmorethansomeintuitiveassumptionsandverysimplemaths.(斯皮格爾哈爾特教授對(duì)這些問題的探索令人愉快。首先，他用它們來說明概率和統(tǒng)計(jì)是如何工作的更廣泛的概念。因此，對(duì)疫苗安全性的討論遵循貝葉斯定理，這是一種隨著新證據(jù)的出現(xiàn)而改進(jìn)對(duì)概率判斷的程序。斯皮格爾哈爾特教授的方法的樂趣在于，他僅僅通過一些直觀的假設(shè)和非常簡(jiǎn)單的數(shù)學(xué)就達(dá)到了這個(gè)深刻的真理。)”可知，斯皮格爾哈爾特教授通過用簡(jiǎn)單的數(shù)學(xué)分析現(xiàn)實(shí)生活中的問題來解釋概率和統(tǒng)計(jì)。故選B。4．推理判斷題。通讀全文，尤其是根據(jù)第二段中“NowSirDavidSpiegelhalter,professorofstatisticsattheUniversityofCambridge,hasaddedtothecategorywithTheArtofUncertainty.Hisnewbookwillappealtomanymorethanjustmathematicians,foritstopicisuniversal:howtoanalysechance,uncertaintyandrisk.(現(xiàn)在，劍橋大學(xué)統(tǒng)計(jì)學(xué)教授大衛(wèi)·斯皮格爾哈爾特爵士在《不確定性的藝術(shù)》一書中加入了這一類別。他的新書將吸引的不僅僅是數(shù)學(xué)家，因?yàn)樗闹黝}是普遍的：如何分析機(jī)會(huì)、不確定性和風(fēng)險(xiǎn))”可知，本文主要是為了介紹一本關(guān)于數(shù)學(xué)的新書。故選A。Passage3Writersofsciencefictionoftenfeelmoreprescient(預(yù)知的)thanothers.Whetherthethreattowomen’srightsintheworkofMargaretAtwood,thearchitecturalandsocialdystopias(反烏托邦)ofJ.G.Ballard’snovels,ortheinternet-predictingworldofEM.Forster’sTheMachineStops,thegenreisfilledwithprescientwritersdealingwithevermorefamiliarissues.Outofallsuchwriters,fewseemmorelikelytopredictourtimesthantheAmericanauthorPhilipK.Dick,whodiedin1982.Inthe30-yearperiodofwork,Dickwrote44novelsandcountlessshortstories,adaptationsofwhichwentontoredefinesciencefictiononscreen.Dickhadasurprisingabilitytopredictwhatwouldhappeninmodernworld.Thefamousscience-fictionandfantasyauthorStanNichollssuggestsDick’sworkisprescientbecauseitexploredthefuturethroughthethen-present.“HisstoriessupposedthepopularityoftheInternet,virtualreality,facialrecognitionsoftware,driverlesscarsand3Dprinting,”Nichollssaid—whilealsopointingoutthat“it’samisinterpretationthatpredictionistheprimarypurposeofsciencefiction.Thegenre’shitrateisactuallynotverygoodinthatrespect.Likeallthebestsciencefiction,hisstoriesweren’treallyaboutthefuture,theywereaboutthehereandnow.”Whetherhisvisionswere,ashebelieved,aproductofsmallproblemsinthesimulationorhisfadingmentalhealth,onethingisforcertain—theworldinwhichtheworkofPhilipK.Dickiswellknowntodayfeelseverclosertotheonesimaginedbythismostuniqueandexceptionalwriter.1．Whydoestheauthormentionthreewritersinparagraph1?A．Toexplainhowgreattheirnovelsare.B．Toexplainthewomen’srightsinthefuture.C．Toshowsciencefictionshavetheforesight.D．Toshowthesameinterestofsciencefictionists.2．WhatcanweknowaboutPhilipKDick?A．Hehadthecapacitytopredictthepresentage.B．Headaptedhisfourshortstoriesforthescreen.C．Heoftenhadideasdifferentfromtheeditor’s.D．HediedintheUSAinthe21stcentury.3．WhatdoesNichollsthinkaboutallthebestsciencefictions?A．Theyareallaboutotherplanets.

D．TheintroductionofMorrisdance.【答案】1．D2．A3．B4．D【解析】本文是一篇說明文。主要介紹英國(guó)莫里斯舞的形式、舞者裝扮、現(xiàn)狀及傳承困境。1．細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段中的“Somegroupscarryheavyblackstickswithwhichtheybeatagainsteachotherwhiletheydance.Othergroupswavehandkerchiefsintheairwhiletheyperform.(一些團(tuán)體拿著沉重的黑色棍子，在跳舞時(shí)互相擊打。其他團(tuán)體在表演時(shí)向空中揮舞手帕。)”可知，莫里斯舞者會(huì)用棍子或手帕進(jìn)行表演。故選D項(xiàng)。2．細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段中的“Astheyearsgoby,fewerandfeweryoungpeoplearejoiningMorrisdancegroups.Thedancersaregettingolderandolderandfinally,ifnothingisdonetochangethistrend,thetraditionwilldieoutwithinthenextfewdecades.(隨著時(shí)間的推移，越來越少的年輕人加入莫里斯舞蹈團(tuán)體。舞者們?cè)絹碓嚼?，如果不采取措施改變這一趨勢(shì)，這一傳統(tǒng)將在未來幾十年內(nèi)消失。)”可知，莫里斯舞目前對(duì)年輕人幾乎沒有吸引力。故選A項(xiàng)。3．詞句猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)第五段中的“Ifyou’veeverhadthefortunetoseeMorrisdance,youmaycatchontowhyteenagersaren’trushingtosignup.Puttingittothepoint,it’snotexactlythecoolestthingforan18-year-oldtodo.(如果你有幸看過莫里斯舞，你可能會(huì)catchonto為什么青少年不會(huì)急于報(bào)名。說白了，對(duì)于一個(gè)18歲的年輕人來說，這并不是最酷的事情。)”可知，對(duì)于一個(gè)18歲的年輕人來說，莫里斯舞并不是最酷的事情，由此可知，看過莫里斯舞后，應(yīng)該能理解青少年不報(bào)名的原因，所以“catchonto”意為“理解”。故選B項(xiàng)。4．主旨大意題。通讀全文，第一段引出莫里斯舞并介紹其歷史；第二段描述舞者的服飾和伴奏；第三段說明表演形式和相關(guān)活動(dòng)；第四、五段提及面臨的危機(jī)及原因；最后一段表達(dá)對(duì)其傳承的期盼，綜合以上信息可知，本文整體是對(duì)莫里斯舞的全面介紹。故選D項(xiàng)。Passage6Canartificialintelligenceproducenewmusichits?Recently,thereleaseoftheAImusicplatformSunohasdrawnmuchattention.It’safreewebsitethatgeneratessongsofvarioustypestailoredtouserspecifications(具體要求).Drivenbycuriosity,IimmediatelyaskedSunotocreatesomepopsongs.Imustadmit,it’sveryuser-friendlyformusicamateursandbeginners.Justprovidesomedetailslikethetheme,style,andeventhelanguageyouwantforyoursong,anditwillgiveyoutwosongswithinaminute.Thefirstsongamazedme.Ithadalltheelementsthatapopsongshouldhave:Thewordsinthesongweren’tjustputtogetherrandomly;theywerecarefullycreatedtoexpressstrongfeelings,suchas“Everydayfeelslikeastruggle,abattleIcan’twin.”Thearrangementalsoincludedpiano,guitar,drumsandotherelements.However,asIexploredmoreofthesongsSunocouldmake,IrealizedthatAIstrugglestocreatemusicthattrulyresonateswithusashumanbeings.Despitelisteningtomanyofthesongsitmade,Icouldn’trecallanyofthemafterward.Theformulaic(公式化的)arrangementsandgeneric(籠統(tǒng)的)lyricsarethemainissuesIhavewithit.Forexample,themelodyofthefirsttwolinesofeachchorus(副歌)tendstobethesame,justwithdifferentwords,whichsoonbecomespredictable.Overtime,musicloversmightloseinterest.Additionally,sinceAIlacksreal-lifeexperiences,thelyricsitgeneratesaretoogeneric,lackingspecificscenesor
