21、   Who do you look up to? No matter what stage of life you're at, it's good to have someone who inspires you to be the best version of yourself.

To celebrate the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China (PRC), President Xi Jinping signed a presidential decree(主席令) to award 42 individuals the Medal of the Republic, the Friendship Medal and national honorary titles. The people who received the awards have all made outstanding contributions to the nation's construction and development.

Shen Jilan is one of the eight people who were awarded the Medal of the Republic. She is the only deputy in China to serve at all 13 National People's Congresses(全国人民代表大会) since 1954. She witnessed the development of the People's Congress system. She has been engaged in making and revising national laws for most of her life. It was she who proposed the clause on "equal pay for equal work" between men and women, which was written into the first Constitution of PRC in 1954.

China's development can't continue without lawmakers, nor can it move forward without scientists.

Ye Peijian, who received the honorary title "the people's scientist", has been devoted to China's lunar program for two decades. Known as "the Father of Chang'e Probes", he as well as his team of aerospace engineers put lunar landers on the moon. On Jan 3 of 2019, the Chang'e 4 probe touched down on the moon's far side, marking the program's latest achievement.

Receiving the Friendship Medal are six foreign friends who have lent their hands to assist with China's prosperity. Raul Castro Ruz, former Cuban president, is among them.

Almost every country in the world has official honors for distinguished people. For example, the Presidential Medal of Freedom is the highest civilian honor given in the United States. The late scientist Stephen Hawking was once given this award.

It's thanks to the great efforts made by these outstanding figures that we can live in a prosperous and peaceful country. Hopefully these role models can light the way for nation building.

A．To say thanks to national heroes.

B．To tell readers what makes a good role model.

C．To describe the awards given by the Chinese government.

D．To introduce some of the people who won national awards.

【2】What can we learn from the article?

B．Raul Castro Ruz is the only foreigner awarded the Friendship Medal.

C．The Friendship Medal was awarded to the late scientist Stephen Hawking.

D．China alone has national honorary titles awarded to distinguished people.

【3】Why was Ye Peijian awarded an honorary title?

C．For being the best aerospace engineer in China.

D．For successfully putting lunar landers on the moon.

22、Humans are no strangers to widespread viruses, and each time a vaccine (疫苗) is developed, it gives us hope for the future. Now, the world is waiting for a vaccine to fight COVID-19.

Scientists worldwide have been rolling up their sleeves to work to ward an effective novel coronavirus vaccine.

Under the coordination (协调) of the World Health Organization(WHO), up to 172 countries have been engaging with the “largest and most diverse COVID-19 vaccine portfolio”, a plan known as the COVAX Global Vaccines Facility.

COVAX is a system for joint purchasing and balancing the risks of multiple vaccines. When a vaccine proves to be safe and effective, all countries within the facility will be able to access it, according to Xinhua.

The plan is aimed to ensure that all countries, no matter their economic status, can get the vaccine in a timely manner when one is available. It also makes sure that prices will be kept as low as possible.

“A number of vaccines are now in the final stage of clinical trials,” said WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus on Aug. 24th, adding that the goal of COVAX is to deliver at least 2billion doses of a vaccine by the end of 2021. According to the WHO, at present, nine potential vaccines are part of the portfolio.

To guarantee the equal access and fair assignment of COVID-19 vaccines, the WHO has said that the world needs to prevent vaccine nationalism — countries putting their own interests ahead of others in trying to secure supplies of a possible vaccine.

“Vaccine nationalism only helps the virus,” Tedros said, warning that it would lead to a prolonged pandemic (疫情) if only a small number of countries got most of the supply.

“Like an orchestra, we need all instruments to be played in harmony to create music that everyone enjoys,” he said.

Vaccine development looks promising, as several countries have made great progress. Russia began production of its first batch of a COVID-19 vaccine on Aug. 15th, according to its health ministry. It’s the world’s first registered vaccine. Four Chinese vaccine candidates have started international stage-3 clinical trials.

【1】What’s the author’s attitude towards vaccine nationalism?

A．Supportive.

B．Critical.

C．Optimistic.

D．Sympathetic.

【2】Why did Tedros compare the fight against COVID-19 to an orchestra?

A．To show his deep love for music.

B．To make the passage more interesting.

C．To explain the critical role that the orchestra plays.

D．To stress the importance of cooperation.

【3】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A．Russia is the first country to have made progress in fighting COVID-19.

B．COVAX ensures all the countries get the COVID-19 vaccine at the same time.

C．WHO plays an important role in fighting COVID-19.

D．Scientists have produced 2 billion doses of vaccines.

【4】Which is the best title of the text?

A．United for vaccine.

B．Vaccine on the way.

C．Fighting against COVID-19.

D．Saying goodbye to COVID-19.

23、   It was Thanksgiving morning and in the crowded kitchen of my small home I was busy preparing the traditional Thanksgiving turkey when the doorbell rang. I opened the front door and saw two small children in rags huddling together inside the storm door on the top step.

"Any old papers, lady?" asked one of them.

I was busy. I wanted to say "no" until I looked down at their feet. They were wearing thin little sandals, wet with heavy snow.

"Come in and I’ll make you a cup of hot cocoa."

They walked over and sat down at the table. Their wet sandals left marks upon the floor. I served them cocoa and bread with jam to fight against the cold outside. Then I went back to the kitchen and started again on my household budget.

The silence in the front room struck me. I looked in. The girl held the empty cup in her hands, looking at it. The boy asked in a flat voice, "Lady, are you rich?"

I looked at my shabby slipcovers. The girl put her cup back in its saucer carefully and said, "Your cups match your saucers." Her voice was hungry with a need that no amount of food could supply. They left after that, holding their bundles of papers against the wind. They hadn’t said "Thank you." They didn’t need to. They had reminded me that I had so much for which to be grateful. Plain blue china cups and saucers were only worth five pence. But they matched.

I tasted the potatoes and stirred the meat soup. Potatoes and brown meat soup, a roof over our heads, my man with a good steady job-these matched, too.

I moved the chairs back from the fire and cleaned the living room. The muddy prints of small sandals were still wet upon my floor. Let them be for a while, I thought, just in case I should begin to forget how rich I am.

【1】Why did the writer let the children in?

A.She showed great pity on them.

B.She had old papers to sell.

C.She wanted to invite them to her Thanksgiving feast.

D.She wanted them to see how rich she was.

【2】The girl thought the writer was rich perhaps because_________.

A.she saw that the lady's room was comfortable

B.she saw the cups matched the saucers

C.the writer’s slipcovers were very new

D.the writer was preparing a big meal while she was too hungry

【3】From the passage, we can infer that whether you are rich depends on __________.

A.how much money you have had B.how you feel about your life

C.how you have helped others D.what job your husband is doing

【4】The writer left the muddy prints of small sandals on the floor for a while to_________

A.show her husband that someone had come

B.remind her that she had helped two children

C.remind her that she was very rich in the neighborhood

D.remind her how life should be

24、To make artificial intelligence that can reason and apply knowledge flexibly, many researchers are focused on fresh ideas from neuroscience (神经科学). Should they be looking to psychology too? Researchers are working to develop new AI systems that can figure out simple abstract relations between objects and the reason behind them as effortlessly as a human brain.

Artificial intelligence has come a long way. In recent years, smart machines inspired by the human brain have shown superhuman abilities in games like chess and Go, proved remarkably expert at imitating some of our language skills. But with various other aspects of what we might reasonably call human intelligence — reasoning, understanding causality (因果关系), applying knowledge flexibly, to name a few — AIs still struggle. They are also inefficient learners, requiring large amounts of data where humans need only a few examples.

Some researchers think all we need to bridge the gap is ever larger AIs, while others want to turn back to nature’s blueprint. One path is to double down on efforts to copy the brain, better replicating (复制) the intricacies of real brain cells and the ways their activity is arranged. But the brain is the most complex object in the known universe and it is far from clear how much of its complexity we need to replicate to reproduce its capabilities.

That’s why some believe more abstract ideas about how intelligence works can provide shortcuts. Their claim is that to really accelerate the progress of AI towards something that we can say thinks like a human, we need to imitate not the brain — but the mind. “In some sense, they’re just different ways of looking at the same thing, but sometimes it’s profitable to do that,” says Gary Marcus at New York University and start-up Robust AI. “You don’t want a replica, what you want is to learn the principles that allow the brain to be as effective as it is.”

【1】What do we know about the current AI?

A．They are good at reasoning.

B．They have amazing learning ability.

C．They can't understand complex information.

D．They lack some elements of real intelligence.

【2】What can we infer from Paragraph 3?

A．People fail to understand the complexity of the brain.

B．Scientists need to focus on the structure of the brain.

C．The attempt to copy the brain might be unrealistic.

D．Scientists are doubtful about the future of AI.

【3】What does Gary Marcus suggest researchers do to advance AI?

A．Make AI more creative.

B．Teach more principles to AI.

C．Study how intelligence works.

D．Update their knowledge constantly.

【4】What is a suitable title for the text?

A．Are the Smart Machines Intelligent Enough?

B．Make Machine Minds That Really Think Like Us

C．What to Expect with the Future of AI Technology?

D．The Future of AI? Psychology May Provide Fresh Ideas
