21. 词义猜测题。根据“Donation Activities”中“The master gardeners here did much donation work.
2
They donated over 35,000 volunteer hours, serving 40,000 adults and more than 5,200 children.”（这里的园丁们为捐赠工作奉献良多。他们贡献了超过35000个小时当志愿者，服务了40000名成年人和5200多名儿童。）再根据“They did this through about 35 plant clinics, 6 demonstration gardens, 4 youth gardens, as well as a classroom program and dozens of workshops.”（他们通过大约35个植物诊所、6个示范花园、4个青年花园、以及一个课堂项目和几十个讲习班做到了这一点。）由此可知，划线词“this”指代的是“donation work”。故选C。
22. 细节理解题。根据“The Master Gardener Program”中“It is a highly successful example of cooperation between a foundation and volunteers.”（这是一个基金会和志愿者合作的非常成功的例子。）由此可知，Master Gardener Program是基金会和志愿者之间的桥梁。故选D。
23. 目的意图题。根据“Waiting for Your Donations”中“Please consider a donation to the Master Gardener Foundation and help keep our environment green!”（请考虑捐款给the Master Gardener Foundation，让我们的环境越来越好！）由此判断出，这篇文章的目的是“鼓励捐赠。”故选A。
B
Every man wants his son to be somewhat of a clone, not in features but in footsteps. As he grows you also age, and your ambitions become more unachievable. You begin to realize that your boy, in your footsteps, could probably accomplish what you hoped for. But footsteps can be muddied and they can go off in different directions.
My son Jody has hated school since day one in kindergarten. Science projects waited until the last moment. Book reports weren’t written until the final threat.
I’ve been a newspaperman all my adult life. My daughter is a university graduate working towards her master’s degree in English. But Jody? When he entered the tenth grade he became a “vo-tech” student(技校学生). They’re called “motorheads” by the rest of the student body.
When a secretary in my office first called him “motorhead”, I was shocked. “Hey, he’s a good kid,” I wanted to say. “And smart, really.”
I learned later that motorheads are, indeed, different. They usually have dirty hands and wear dirty work clothes. And they don’t often make school honor rolls(光荣榜).
But being the parent of a motorhead is itself an experience in education. We who labor in clean shirts in offices don’t have the abilities that motorheads have. I began to learn this when I had my car crashed. The cost to repair it was estimated at $800. “Hey, I can fix it,” said Jody. I doubted it, but let him go ahead, for I had nothing to lose.
My son, with other motorheads, fixed the car. They got parts from a junkyard, and ability from vo-tech classes. The cost was $25 instead of $800.
Since that first repair job, a broken air-conditioner, a non-functioning washer and a non-toasting toaster have been fixed. Neighbours and co-workers trust their car repairs to him.
These kids are happiest when doing repairs. They joke and laugh and are living in their own relaxed world. And their minds are bright despite their dirty hands and clothes.
I have learned a lot from my motorhead: publishers need printers, engineers need mechanics, and architects need builders. Most important, I have learned that fathers don’t need clones in footsteps or anywhere else.
My son may never make the school honor roll. But he made mine. 24. What used to be the author’s hope for his son? A. To avoid becoming his clone. B. To resemble him in appearance. C. To develop in a different direction.
D. To reach the author’s unachieved goals.
25. What can we learn about the author’s children? A. His daughter does better in school. B. His daughter has got a master’s degree. C. His son tried hard to finish homework. D. His son couldn’t write his book reports.
26. The author let his son repair the car because he believed that . A. his son had the ability to fix it B. it would save him much time C. it wouldn’t cause him any more loss D. other motorheads would come to help
27. What did the author realize in the end?
A. It is unwise to expect your child to follow your path. B. It is important for one to make the honor roll. C. Architects play a more important role than builders. D. Motorheads have greater ability than office workers. 【答案】24-27 DACA
【解析】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要讲的是父亲都希望自己的孩子跟随父亲的脚步前进，实现他们没实现的愿望。作者通过分享自己的故事告诉父亲们：每个人都有自己的价值，有自己的人生方向。
24. 推理判断题。由第一段的“As he grows you also age, and your ambitions become more unachievable. You begin to realize that your boy, in your footsteps, could probably accomplish what you hoped for.”(随着他的成长，你也变老了，你的雄心壮志也变得遥不可及。你开始意识到，你的儿子，跟随你的脚步，可能会完成你的愿望)可知，作者过去常期望自己的儿子能够实现作者自己未完成的
3
目标，故选D。
25. 细节理解题。由第三段“My daughter is a university graduate working toward her master’s degree in English. But Jody? When he entered the tenth grade he became a ‘vo-tech’ student(技校学生).”(我的女儿是一名大学毕业生，正在攻读英语硕士学位。但是Jody呢？他在上十年级的时候，成了一名技校学生。)可知，作者的女儿的学业表现比儿子要好。故选A。
26. 细节理解题。根据第六段最后一句“I doubted it, but let him go ahead, for I had nothing to lose.”(我怀疑，但还是让他去做，因为我不会有什么损失)可知，作者让他的儿子修理汽车，因为他相信这不会给他带来什么的损失。故选C。
27. 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的句子“Most important, I have learned that fathers don’t need clones in footsteps or anywhere else.”(最重要的是，我明白了父亲不一定非要让孩子循着父亲的脚步，或去完成父亲的愿望。)可知，作者最后意识到期望孩子走父亲的道路是不明智的。故选A。
C
Life expectancy in the United States has been in decline for the first time in decades, and public health officials have identified a series of potential causes, including inaccessible health care, rising drug addiction and rates of mental health disorders, and socio-economic factors. Now, a study led by the Yale School of Medicine has attempted to find out the relative impact of two factors most often linked to life expectancy—race and education—by looking at data about 5,114 black and white participants in four U.S. cities.
The lives and deaths among this group of people—who took part in the study approximately 30 years ago when they were in their early 20s—show that the level of education, and not race, is the best predictor of who will live the longest.
Among the 5,114 people followed in the study, 395 had died. These deaths were occurring in working-age people, often with children, before the age of 60. The rates of death among participants in this group did clearly show racial differences, with approximately 9% of blacks dying at an early age compared to 6% of whites. There were also differences in causes of death by race. For instance, black men were significantly more likely to die of murder and white men from AIDS. The most common causes of death across all groups over time were cardiovascular disease and cancer.
But there were also obvious differences in rates of death by education level. Approximately 13% of participants with a high school degree or less education died compared with only approximately 5% of college graduates.
Strikingly, when looking at race and education at the same time, the researchers found that differences related to race almost disappeared: 13.5% of black subjects and 13.2% of white subjects with a high school degree or less died during the course of the study. By contrast, 5.9% of black subjects and 4.3% of whites
with college degrees had died.
Therefore, improving overall quality of education is something tangible that can help reverse(扭转) this troubling trend in reduction of life expectancy among middle-aged adults. 28. What can we learn about the participants in the study? A. The whites are more aggressive. B. The whites got higher education. C. More blacks than whites died young. D. More whites than blacks died of cancer.
29. Compared with education, the influence of race on death rates is . A. significant B. unnoticeable C. growing
D. long-lasting
30. What does the underlined word “tangible” probably mean? A. Realistic. B. Creative. C. Challenging.
D. Temporary.
31. What can be inferred from the research findings？ A. People can get smart through learning. B. One should not discriminate other races. C. People don’t enjoy equal rights for education. D. One can live longer by getting more education. 【答案】28-31 CBAD
【解析】本文是说明文。研究表明教育水平，而不是种族，是预测谁会活得更久的最好指标。提高整体教育质量能够帮助扭转令人担忧的中年人预期寿命下降的趋势。
28. 推理判断题。根据第三段“The rates of death among participants in this group did clearly show racial differences, with approximately 9% of blacks dying at an early age compared to 6% of whites.”这一组参与者的死亡率确实清楚地显示了种族差异，大约9%的黑人在早期死亡，而白人的早年死亡率为6%，由此可知年轻黑人的死亡人数比年轻白人多，故选C。
29. 推理判断题。根据第二段和最后一段以及文中的数据比较可知研究表明教育水平，而不是种族，是预测谁会活得更久的最好指标。提高整体教育质量能够帮助扭转令人担忧的中年人预期寿命下降的趋势。所以相对于教育对寿命的影响来说，种族的因素是不明显的。故选B。
30. 猜测词义题。根据上文内容可知，教育水平是预测谁会活得最久的最好指标。根据句中“improving overall quality of education”和“can help reverse(扭转) this troubling trend in reduction of life expectancy among middle-aged adults.”可知全面提高教育质量能够帮助扭转令人担忧的中年人预期寿
4
命下降的趋势，也就是说全面提高教育质量是“具体的，切实的”的措施。tangible和realistic同义，故选A。
31. 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“13.5% of black subjects and 13.2% of white subjects with a high school degree or less died during the course of the study. By contrast, 5.9% of black subjects and 4.3% of whites with college degrees had died.”和文章内容可知教育水平是预测谁会活得更久的最好指标。由此推知一个人可以通过接受更多的教育而活得更久，故选D。
D
Tests have shown robots can diagnose heart problems in as little as four seconds, as a review of artificial intelligence(AI) finds machines are now as good at spotting illness as doctors.
Analyzing a patient’s heart function on a cardiac MRI(心脏磁共振成像) scan currently takes doctors around 13 minutes. But a new trial by University College London (UCL) showed an AI program could read the scans in less time with equal accuracy. There are approximately 150,000 such scans performed in the UK each year, and researchers estimate that fully using AI to read them could save 54 clinician-days(临床天数) at each cardiac centre per year. So it can make up for the shortage of doctors.
It is hoped that AI where computer systems are able to learn from data to identify new patterns with minimal human intervention will transform medicine by helping doctors spot diseases such as heart disease and cancer faster and earlier. However, most scans are still read by specially trained doctors.
Dr Charlotte Manisty, who led the UCL research, said, “Cardiovascular MRI offers incomparable image quality for assessing heart structure and function. However, current manual analysis remains basic and outdated. Automated machine techniques offer the potential to change this and completely improve efficiency and accuracy, and we look forward to further research that could confirm the superiority to human analysis.”
She added, “Our dataset of patients with a range of heart disease who received scans enabled us to demonstrate that the greatest sources of measurement errors arise from human factors. This indicates that automated techniques are at least as good as humans, with the potential soon to be ‘super-human’—transforming clinical and research measurement precision.”
Professor Alastair Denniston said, “Within those handful of high-quality studies, we found that by deep learning Al could indeed detect disease ranging from cancer to eye disease as accurately as health professionals. But it’s important to note that it did not absolutely exceed human professional diagnosis.” 32. Which of the following can best describe this AI program? A. Time-consuming. B. Environmentally friendly. C. Extremely unpractical.
D. Labor-saving.
33. What is Charlotte Manisty’s expectation of automated machine techniques?
A. To treat eye disease faster and earlier.
B. To analyze heart disease efficiently and accurately. C. To combine manual with automated analysis. D. To confirm heart structure and function. 34. What did Alastair Denniston say about AI? A. It would be super-human soon.
B. It couldn’t completely replace expert doctors. C. It would correct professionals’ measurement errors.
D. It couldn’t detect cancer as accurately as health professionals. 35. What is the main idea of the text? A. AI has many shortcomings in practice.
B. AI totally shows its superiority to human analysis. C. AI can reduce medical errors arising from human factors. D. AI can diagnose heart disease as well as doctors in less time. 【答案】32-35 DBBD
【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍AI在医学上的运用。这篇文章主要讲述的是AI能像医生一样在更短的时间内诊断出心脏病。
32. 细节理解题。根据第二段“So it can make up for the shortage of doctors.”可知，这样就可以弥补医生短缺的问题。由此可知，AI程序可以节省劳动力。故选D。
33. 细节理解题。根据第四段中（领导UCL研究的夏洛特·曼尼斯蒂博士说：“心血管磁共振成像为评估心脏结构和功能提供了极好的图像质量。自动化机器技术有可能改变这一现状，并完全提高其效率和准确性，我们期待着进一步的研究，以证实人类分析的优越性。）由此可知，Charlotte Manisty对自动化机器技术的期望是“有效而准确地分析心脏病。”故选B。
34. 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“But it’s important to note that it did not absolutely exceed human professional diagnosis.”（但重要的是要注意，它不可能完全超过人类的专业诊断。）由此可知，Al不能完全取代专家医生。故选B。
35. 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Tests have shown robots can diagnose heart problems in as little as four seconds, as a review of artificial intelligence (AI) finds machines are now as good at spotting illness as doctors.”（测试表明，机器人诊断心脏问题的时间最短可在4秒内完成。一份人工智能(AI)综述显示，机器人在诊断疾病方面的能力与医生不相上下。）可知，这篇文章讲述的是在更短的时间内AI能像医生一样诊断出心脏病。故选D。
