Scientists say they have developed a system that uses machine learning to know when and where lightning will strike. Researchers report the system is able to tell that lightning strikes up to 30 minutes before they happen within a 30-kilometer area.
Lightning is a strong burst of electricity in the atmosphere. Since it carries an extremely powerful electrical charge(电荷), it can be destructive and deadly. European researchers have estimated that between 6,000 and 24,000 people are killed by lightning worldwide each year. For this reason, climate scientists have long sought to develop methods to predict lightning.
The system tested in the experiments uses a combination of data from weather stations and machine learning methods. The researchers developed a prediction model that was trained to recognize weather conditions that were likely to cause lightning.
The model was created with data collected over a 12-year period from 12 Swiss weather stations in cities and mountain areas. The data, related to four main surface conditions: air pressure, air temperature, relative humidity and wind speed, was placed into a unique machine learning algorithm(算法), which compared it to records of lightning strikes. Researchers say the algorithm was then able to learn the conditions under which lightning happens.
The researchers test-ran the system several times. They found that the system made predictions that proved correct almost 80 percent of the time. “It can now be used anywhere,” the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology said in a statement.
The researchers plan to keep developing the technology in partnership with a European effort that aims to create a lightning protection program. The effort is called the European Laser Lightning Rod project. Scientists working on the project are experimenting with a laser technology that could someday control lightning activity, taking lightning charges from clouds to the ground. They hope that such technology can one day be used as protection against lightning strikes. Possible uses could be at stations, airports or places where large crowds gather.
4. Why was the system developed?
A. To protect people from lightning.
B. To show the power of lightning.
C. To keep track of lightning deaths.
D. To meet kids’ curiosity about lightning.
5. What is special about the system?
A. It was based on a number of samples worldwide.
B. It adopted a different machine learning algorithm.
C. It used an effective method of collecting data.
D. It required low cost of predicting lightning.
6. What will the researchers do next with the laser technology?
A. Monitor lightning activity. B. Prevent the occurrence of lightning.
C. Produce electricity with lightning. D. Direct energy from lightning.
7. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. A System of Controlling Lightning.
B. A Theory of Explaining Lightning.
C. A Method of Predicting Lightning.
D. A Model of Creating Lightning.
【答案】4. A 5. B 6. D 7. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了科学家们开发的一种能预测闪电的系统。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段中的“European researchers have estimated that between 6,000 and 24,000 people are killed by lightning worldwide each year. For this reason, climate scientists have long sought to develop methods to predict lightning.(欧洲研究人员估计,全球每年有6000到24000人死于雷击。由于这个原因,气候科学家一直在寻找预测闪电的方法。)”可知,研究人员一直在寻找预测闪电的方法是因为每年都有很多人死于雷击;结合文章最后一段的“They hope that such technology can one day be used as protection against lightning strikes. Possible uses could be at stations, airports or places where large crowds gather. (他们希望这样的技术有一天能被用于防止雷击。可能的用途可能是在车站、机场或大量人群聚集的地方。)”可推知,研究人员开发这一系统的目的在于保护人们免受雷击。故选A项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段中的“The data, related to four main surface conditions: air pressure, air temperature, relative humidity and wind speed, was placed into a unique machine learning algorithm(算法), which compared it to records of lightning strikes.(这些数据与四种主要地表条件有关:气压、空气温度、相对湿度和风速,这些数据被放入一个独特的机器学习算法中,并与雷击记录进行比较。)”可知,气压、空气温度、相对湿度和风速等数据会放入到一种独特的机器学习算法中,并与雷击记录进行比较。由此可知,系统特殊在采用了一种独特的机器学习算法。故选B项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段的“Scientists working on the project are experimenting with a laser technology that could someday control lightning activity, taking lightning charges from clouds to the ground.(从事该项目的科学家们正在试验一种激光技术,该技术有朝一日可以控制闪电活动,将闪电电荷从云层带到地面。)”可知,科学家们正在研究一种激光技术,这种技术能控制闪电活动,将云层的闪电电荷带到地面上。由此可推知,有了激光技术后,科学家们下一步可能会把目标放在闪电产生的能量上。故选D项。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。阅读文章可知,文章首段首句“Scientists say they have developed a system that uses machine learning to know when and where lightning will strike.(科学家们表示,他们已经开发出一种使用机器来了解闪电何时何地会发生的系统。)”提出科学家们已经开发出一种用机器来了解闪电会在何时何地发生的系统;第二段介绍了开发该系统的原因;第三、四、五段介绍了该系统的工作原理和研究过程;最后一段介绍了该系统的研究现状。由此可知,本文主要介绍了这种能预测闪电的系统。C项“A Method of Predicting Lightning.”最能概括本文主旨。故选C项。

Social media is taking over our lives: Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and now, TikTok. These social media platforms have changed from a way to stay connected to an industry where even kids can make money off their posts. While this may seem like another opportunistic innovation, it’s really full of hidden false realities.
The median income (中位收入) recorded in the United States of American was about $63,000 in 2018. TikTokers can make anywhere from $50,000 to $150,000 for a TikTok brand partnership, and TikTokers with over a million followers can make up to $30,000 a month — $360,000 a year. They are making more than the average person trying to feed their family and keep a roof over their heads simply by posting a 15-second video.
This is mad in more ways than one. Not only is it an overpaid “job”, it promotes undeserved admiration from viewers and a false sense of reality. Many of these famous TikTokers are still teens and the effects of fame at such an early stage in life might cause issues later in life, such as mental illness. Teens between the ages of 13 and 17 make up 27% of TikTok viewers, who can be easily influenced by what they are watching. They can put a false sense of self-value into who they look up to and what they represent: money, fame, being considered conventionally attractive.
While TikTok has become a great tool for marketing, it’s important to understand how this content affects young viewers. If we’re constantly consuming content that shows us all we need to do to be successful is be conventionally attractive and post a 15-second video featuring a new dance, it will challenge our knowledge of what really makes someone successful and will in turn affect our individual work ethnics (伦理). What about the people who miss birthdays and family holidays due to their jobs and aren’t getting paid nearly as much as these TikTokers?
Richard Colyer, president and creator of Metaphor, Inc, had his own view on this issue. “It sounds great that kids can make money for doing the latest dance moves in a 15-second video, but we should feed the minds of kids and not just their bank accounts. TikTok can be great if used properly. Money alone is not good; technology alone is not good and connectedness can be bad if it is only online.”
Again, as a fellow consumer of TikTok, I do enjoy the app when I have some time to kill and need a good laugh. I’m not against someone making a living on entertainment, but what does getting famous off of a 15-second video teach young people?
8. What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 1 refer to?
A. Social networking. B. Making money on social media.
C. A job offered by TikTok. D. Staying connected to the Internet.
9. Which is the possible influence of TikTok on its young users?
A. They tend to live an adult life too soon.
B. They are forced to pay for certain services.
C. They are likely to develop false values.
D. They may stop believing other social media.
10. What can we infer from Richard Colyer’s comments?
A. TikTok can be a positive influence if teens make good use of it.
B. Young TikTokers should be banned from making money.
C. It is better to involve education on investment in TikTok videos.
D. Contents of videos need checking before their release online.
11. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?
A. A Job vs An Entertainment
B. Join Young TikTokers
C. Say No to TikTok
D. TikTok — A Mine of Money
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文阐述了社交媒体从单纯的社交软件变为赚钱工具的现象,并呼吁青少年用户群体正确使用社交媒体和树立正确的价值观。
【8题详解】
词句猜测题。根据指代关系和第一段的“These social media platforms have transformed from a way to stay connected to an industry where even kids can make money off their posts. While this may seem like another opportunistic innovation, it’s really full of hidden false realities.”(这些社交媒体平台已经从一种保持联系的方式转变为一个连孩子都能通过发帖赚钱的行业。虽然这看起来像是另一种机会主义创新,但它确实充满了隐藏的非真实现实。)可知,this指代上文中“even kids can make money off their posts”这一现象,即“在社交媒体上赚钱”。故选B。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的“Teens between the ages of 13 and 17 make up 27% of TikTok viewers, who can be easily influenced by what they are watching. They can put a false sense of self-value into who they look up to and what they represent: money, fame, being considered conventionally attractive.”(13至17岁的青少年占TikTok观众的27%,他们很容易受到所看内容的影响。他们会把一种错误的自我价值感放在他们所崇拜的人和他们所代表的东西上:金钱、名誉、被认为具有传统吸引力。)可知,孩子们很容易被观看的内容影响,他们可能会建立错误的自我价值观念,追求传统意义上更加吸引人的金钱和名誉,即年轻的用户可能会树立不正确的价值观。故选C。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段Richard Colyer的话“TikTok can be great if used properly.”(如果使用恰当的话,抖音可能会是很棒的)推知,在Richard Colyer看来,如果使用恰当的话,抖音可能会对青少年有好的影响。故选A。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文并结合最后一段“Again, as a fellow consumer of TikTok, I do enjoy the app when I have some time to kill and need a good laugh. I’m not against someone making a living on entertainment, but what does getting famous off of a 15-second video teach young people?”(而且,作为它的消费者,当我有时间消磨,需要大笑的时候,我的确喜欢这个软件。我并不反对某人靠娱乐谋生,但是一个15秒的视频教年轻人什么能出名呢?)可知,本文是观点对峙类议论文。文章主要阐述了社交媒体从单纯的社交软件变为赚钱工具的现象,并且很多用户的收入远高于普通人。作者认为抖音应被当作娱乐方式,而不是人们赚钱的工具,因为短短的15秒视频并不能教给青少年太多有价值的东西。因此推断A项“工作还是娱乐”可以作为本文的最佳标题。故选A。
D
It’s uncertain when many offices may reopen, but it’s clear the virtual work revolution that began with the pandemic isn’t going away.
Alexia Cambon,research director at Gartner, says finding the right combination of in-person and virtual work will take creativity and experimentation. Managing director Deborah Lovich stresses that companies should consider that flexibility is not only about location, but also about the hours employees work.
Alexia also points out the importance of finding solutions for a whole team. “What COVID-19 taught us is that flex work cannot be for an individual. It has to be for the team,” she says. “When the whole team is together online versus a whole team together in person,it works.”
Progressive organizations are also reconsidering their workplace culture. “They’re thinking about changing culture and leadership to be much more trust-based, impact-based, instead of input-based,like,I see you,so I think you’re productive,’ compared to, ‘Wow, I see what you’ve accomplished,and I know you’ve been productive,””Lovich says.
Lovich sees remote work as a “win-win” for cmployees who get more flexibility and employers who can hire people from anywhere in the country or even the world. She views it as creating equality in terms of allowing small towns to attract talent and offering more opportunity for women to climb the corporate ladder without having to relocate their families, something that she says often takes a back seat in a dual-career houschold.
Companies that require a return to a fully on-site model could lose one in three employees.Lovich agrees that employers need to be careful. “It’s an employee’s market right now. The world is short of workers,and because of that we should really think about what we need and feel confident and courageous to speak up. And a lot of companies are getting that, and so it’s a real opportunity to either shape the place you work to be the place it needs to be or go someplace else that does,”Lovich says.“For decades,we’ve been contorting(扭曲)our lives to fit around work, and COVID-19 forced work to fit around lives.”
12. What does Alexia emphasize according to the text?
A. How to make virtual work go away soon.
B. How to create virtual work cooperatively.
C. How to combine virtual work with science.
D. How to find the best location for virtual work
13. Why do progressive organizations change their workplace culture?
A. To take control of the development of virtual work.
B. To compare company culture with firm leadership.
C. To make employees feel trusted and develop positively.
D. To persuade more companies to choose virtual work soon.
14. What does Lovich think of virtual work?
A. It is attractive to all employees. B. It is just beneficial to employers.
C. It is popular among small firms. D. It benefits both bosses and workers.
15. What does the author mainly want to tell us?
A. Virtual work is here to stay. B. Advantages of virtual work.
C. Be far away from flexibility. D. A“win-win“ change for business.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章通过列举Alexia Cambon和Lovich对于“远程工作”的看法,阐述了远程工作将继续存在。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Alexia also points out the importance of finding solutions for a whole team. “What COVID-19 taught us is that flex work cannot be for an individual. It has to be for the team,” she says. When the whole team is together online versus a whole team together in person,it works.”(Alexia还指出了为整个团队寻找解决方案的重要性。“COVID-19告诉我们,弹性工作不适合个人。必须是为了团队,”她说。“当整个团队在网上进行交流,而不是整个团队面对面交流时,效果会更好。”)可知,Alexia强调了整个团队找解决方案的重要性,即就是“如何合作创建远程工作的重要性”。B项“How to create virtual work cooperatively.”(如何合作创建远程工作。)符合原文表述,故选B项。
【13题详解】
推理判断通。根据文章第四段“Progressive organizations are also reconsidering their workplace culture. “They’re thinking about changing culture and leadership to be much more trust-based, impact-based, instead of input-based,like,I see you,so I think you’re productive,’ compared to, ‘Wow, I see what you’ve accomplished,and I know you’ve been productive,””Lovich says.”(进步组织也在重新考虑他们的工作场所文化。洛维奇说:“他们正在考虑改变文化和领导力,使之更加基于信任、基于影响,而不是基于投入,比如,我看到你了,所以我认为你很有效率,”相比之下,“哇,我看到了你所取得的成就,我知道你很有成效。”)可知,进步组织重现考虑工作场所文化,是想让文化基于信任、影响,而不是基于投入。所以推测,这是因为可以增强信任和促进积极发展。C项“To make employees feel trusted and develop positively.”(让员工感到信任并积极发展。)符合推断,故选C项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第五段“Lovich sees remote work as a “win-win” for cmployees who get more flexibility and employers who can hire people from anywhere in the country or even the world. ”(洛维奇将远程工作视为一种“双赢”,既有更灵活的员工,也有可以从全国甚至世界任何地方雇佣员工的雇主。)可知,洛维奇认为远程工作对于老板和员工都有利。D项“It benefits both bosses and workers.”(这对老板和工人都有利。)符合原文表述,故选D项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。浏览全文,根据文章中的“It’s uncertain when many offices may reopen, but it’s clear the virtual work revolution that began with the pandemic isn’t going away.”(许多办公室何时重新开放尚不确定,但很明显,始于疫情的远程工作革命不会消失。)可知,作者主要是想通过列举了Alexia Cambon和Lovich对于“远程工作”的看法,阐述了远程工作将继续存在。A项“Advantages of virtual work.”(远程工作工作将继续存在。)符合题干,故选A项。
第二节(共5小题:每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Failure is probably the most exhausting experience a person ever has. There is nothing more tiring than not succeeding. _____16_____
In the former case, we keep putting off a task because it was either too boring or too difficult. And the longer we delay it, the more tired we feel. Such start-up fatigue is very real, even if not actually physical, not something in our muscles and bones. _____17_____
Years ago I was asked to write 102 essays on the great ideas of some famous authors. Applying my own rule, I determined to write them alphabetically, never letting myself leave out a tough idea. And I always started the day's work with the difficult task of essay-writing. The experience proved that the rule works.
_____18_____ Though willing to get started, we cannot seem to do the job right. Its difficulties appear so great that, however hard we work, we fail again and again. In such a situation, I work as hard as I can--then let the unconscious (无意识的) take over.
When planning Encyclopaedia Britannica, I had to create a table of contents based on the topics of its articles. ___19___but none of them worked. My fatigue became almost unbearable.
One day, mentally exhausted, I wrote down all the reasons why this problem could not be solved. I tried to convince myself that the trouble was with the problem itself, not with me. Relieved, I sat back in an easy chair and fell asleep.
An hour later, I woke up suddenly with the solution clearly in mind._____20_____Though I worked as hard as before, I felt no fatigue. Success was now as exciting as failure had been depressing.
Human beings, I believe must try to succeed. Success, then, means never feeling tired.
A. Performance fatigue is more difficult to handle.
B. We do everything we can to get ourselves out of this gloomy situation.
C. We experience this tiredness in two ways: start-up fatigue and performance fatigue.
D. Nothing like this had ever been done before, and day after day I kept coming up with solutions.
E. The solution is obvious though-perhaps not easy to apply: always handle the most difficult job first.
F. What's more, making use of your unconsciousness wisely also proves effective in tackling difficult tasks.
G. In the weeks that followed, the solution which had come up in my unconscious mind proved correct at every step.
【答案】16. C 17. E 18. A 19. D 20. G
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。围绕失败、疲劳和成功的关系展开论述,以亲身经历为例提出措施如何解决启动疲劳和执行疲劳。
【16题详解】
根据上文“There is nothing more tiring than not succeeding.(没有什么比不成功更累的了)”和下文“In the former case, we keep putting off a task because it was either too boring or too difficult.(在前一种情况下,我们总是推迟一项任务,因为它要么太无聊,要么太难)”可知,空格处应总的指出疲惫感分为两种情况,引出下文。选项C“We experience this tiredness in two ways: start-up fatigue and performance fatigue.(我们以两种方式体验这种疲劳:启动疲劳和执行疲劳)”指出了两种疲劳,符合语境。故选C项。
【17题详解】
根据下文“And I always started the day’s work with the difficult task of essay-writing. The experience proved that the rule works.(我每天的工作都是从写作这项艰巨的任务开始的。经验证明这条规则是有效的)”推知,前文应该指出了作者所说的规则是什么。选项E“The solution is obvious though-perhaps not easy to apply: always handle the most difficult job first.(解决方案很明显,但可能不容易应用:总是先处理最困难的工作)”恰好提出了一个规则,即先处理最困难的事,符合语境。故选E项。
【18题详解】
下文“Though willing to get started, we cannot seem to do the job right.(尽管我们愿意开始工作,但我们似乎不能把工作做好)”指出我们愿意开始工作,即没有启动疲劳,可知本段开始讨论第二种疲劳:执行疲劳。选项A“Performance fatigue is more difficult to handle.(执行疲劳更难处理)”符合语境。故选A项。
【19题详解】
根据下文“but none of them worked.(但是没有一个奏效)”可知空格处应该指出作者尝试了很多办法,都没有成功。选项D“Nothing like this had ever been done before, and day after day I kept coming up with solutions.(以前从来没有这样做过,我日复一日地不断提出解决方案)”表明作者反复提出了许多解决措施,符合语境。故选D项。
【20题详解】
根据上文“An hour later, I woke up suddenly with the solution clearly in mind.(一个小时后,我突然醒来,脑海中清晰地浮现出解决方案)”和下文“Though I worked as hard as before, I felt no fatigue.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两端,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I have a 6-year-old boy, Sam. He is autistic(患自闭症的). Thus, dining out can be terrible. Though he loves to eat out, he dislikes the loud noise in a restaurant. He has a method to solve it: overpower(压倒) all noise with a much louder noise of his own.
This begins what I think of as fighting tables: neighboring parties raise their voice followed by Sam raising his until the loudest point of the noise is reached, making us quite unpopular with other dinners.
Faced with a possible long-time dining alone, I decided to teach my son table manners with his favourite chocolate cake at a new modern cake shop early one Tuesday night.
To my joy, we arrived at an empty cake shop. Everything went well until women entered. Neatly dressed in a simple way, they were two tables away from us. I felt a sense of bad luck coming.
The women began to chat, paying little attention to us. Sam happily took this as his start to talk loudly and overpower them. I asked Sam for a quiet voice, but unluckily Sam had left that voice at home. I looked at the neighboring table, knowing we wouldn’t go noticed much longer. I planned to ask Sam to eat quickly and leave. Sam, who usually has food unhurriedly, refused to accept the sudden idea of fast dining, and he kept talking endlessly.
“SHUSH!” I said, a little angry. Sam laughed loudly as his reply. “Be quiet!” I could see that the two women were now watching us.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;

Finally, the older of the two women came over.

It turned out to be a perfect night
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Finally, the older of the two women came over. Here came the bad luck, I thought. She completely surprised me when she said, “Honey, stop shushing your boy. Clearly, he has something important to say. He can talk as much as he wants. I want to hear everything he wishes to say.” Smiling, she added, “You have a lovely boy. Relax and enjoy your dinner—and don’t let him forget the chocolate cake.” Sam smiled because finally, someone wanted him to do what he did best: make noise and eat chocolate cake.
It turned out to be a perfect night. I met a wonderful woman who was clearly god-sent. Sam found the chocolate cake to be heavenly, too. I will always remember that lovely lady. Her kindness meant the world to a stressed-out mom. Whenever she is, we’re sending her lots of thanks. Her kind words do not cost much. Yet they achieve much.
