D B Two of the saddest words in the English language are “if only”. I live my life with the goal of never having to say those words, because they convey regret, lost opportunities, mistakes, and disappointment. My father is famous in our family for saying, “Take the extra minute to do it right.” I always try to live by the “extra minute” rule. When my children were young and likely to cause accidents, I always thought about what I could do to avoid an “if only” moment, whether it was something minor like moving a cup full of hot coffee away from the edge of a counter, or something that required a little more work such as taping padding (衬垫) onto the sharp corners of a glass coffee table. I don’t only avoid those “if only” moments when it comes to safety. It’s equally important to avoid “if only” in our personal relationships. We all know people who lost a loved one and regretted that they had foregone an opportunity to say “I love you” or “I forgive you.” When my father announced he was going to the eye doctor across from my office on Good Friday, I told him that it was a holiday for my company and I wouldn’t be here. But then I thought about the fact that he’s 84 years old and I realized that I shouldn’t give up an opportunity to see him. I called him and told him I had decided to go to work on my day off after all. I know there will still be occasions when I have to say “if only” about something, but my life is definitely better because of my policy of doing everything possible to avoid that eventuality. And even though it takes an extra minute to do something right, or it occasionally takes an hour or two in my busy schedule to make a personal connection, I know that I’m doing the right thing. I’m buying myself peace of mind and that’s the best kind of insurance for my emotional well-being. 39. Which of the following is an example of the “extra minute” rule? A. Start the car the moment everyone is seated. B. Leave the room for a minute with the iron working. C. Wait for an extra minute so that the steak tastes better. D. Move an object out of the way before it trips someone. 40. The author decided to go to her office on Good Friday to ______. A. keep her appointment with the eye doctor B. meet her father who was already an old man C. join in the holiday celebration of the company D. finish her work before the deadline approached 41. The underlined word “foregone” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ______. A. abandoned B. lacked C. avoided D. wasted 42. What is the best title for the passage? A. The Emotional Well-being B. The Two Saddest Words C. The Most Useful Rule D. The Peace of Mind 解析：39.推断题。根据第二段，利用排除法可知 D 为正确选项。 40.细节题。答案在第三段的最后两句话。 41.猜词题。根据 foregone 所在句子中的 lost 及 regretted 可知此词与 opportunity 搭配翻译成 放弃机会，故选 A 42.文章标题题。据首尾段的第一句话及文章大意，可知本文主要针对 ifonly 展开话题进行 讲解，故选 B。 答案：39. D 40. B 41. A 42. B C Turning the lights out or wearing a blindfold while eating could be a quick way to lose weight, according to scientists. The simple trick works because it stops diners eating for pleasure rather than for calories. It also triggers (引发) a part of the brain that is worried that unseen food may go bad. An experiment by the University of Konstanz, in Germany, found that people who were blindfolded consumed nine percent fewer calories before they felt full, compared to those who could see. They also vastly overestimated how much they had eaten because they could not see how much was left on the plate. Blindfolded volunteers estimated they had eaten 88 percent more than they actually had. Scientists believe that not seeing food on the table also allows the body to know when it is full in real time rather than remembering past experiences where it might have taken a full plate to feel full. In the experiment, 50 people were blindfolded and 40 were allowed to see their food. All were told not to eat within two hours of the experiment. They were then given three 95g bowls of chocolate ice cream and invited to eat for 15 minutes. Their bowls were taken away and the remaining ice-cream weighed, while the participants were quizzed on how much they thought they had eaten. On average the group who could see ate 116g while the blindfolded groups ate 105g. However, the blindfolded group believed they had eaten 197g while compared with 159g for the non-blind volunteers. They were also asked how pleasant the ice-cream tasted and the blindfolded group rated lower than those who could see. “The experienced pleasure of eating was significantly lower in the blindfolded group. Not seeing the food might have decreased the appetite. Sight plays an important role in the eating experience and in the overall dining experience.” Previous studies have shown that the visual influence of food plays a large part in the taste. While restaurants that allow diners to eat in the dark state that it triggers other senses, in fact eating in darkness is likely to taste far milder than usual. 43. With the lights out, diners eat less partly because ______. A. they want to quickly finish their meals B. they trust their feelings more than ever C. they focus more on fun than the calories D. they worry about the quality of the food 44. We can learn from the passage that the blindfolded group ______. A. spent a much longer time eating the same food B. believed they ate more than they really did C. depended on past experiences to feel full D. thought the food tasted better than usual 45. The last two paragraphs tell us that ______. A. diners are likely to lose their appetite eating in darkness B. senses rather than sight play an important role in the taste C. findings of this experiment differ from the previous studies D. restaurants benefit a lot from allowing diners to eat in the dark 46. The main purpose of the passage is to ______. A. provide statistics related to eating in the dark B. offer reasons for people to eat in the dark areas C. inform the readers of the result of an experiment D. persuade the readers to lose weight in a new way 解析：43.细节题。根据第一段以及第六段“Not seeing the food might have decreased the appetite” 可以推断出 D。 44.细节题。根据第二段以及实验过程可以知道戴眼罩的志愿者们相信他们比实际上吃得更 多。 45.细节题。根据最后两段可知用餐者在黑暗中用餐会减少他们的食欲。 46.目的题。本篇文章的主要目的是作者根据实验的过程告知读者实验结果。A、B 选项是文 章的内容，D 选项并没有在文章中体现。 答案：43. D 44. B 45. A 46. C D Let us all raise a glass to Alpha Go and the advance of artificial intelligence. Alpha Go, Deep Mind’s Go-playing AI, just defeated the best Go-playing human, Lee Sedol. But as we drink to its success, we should also begin trying to understand what it means for the future. The number of possible moves in a game of Go is so huge that, in order to win against a player like Lee, Alpha Go was designed to adopt a human-like style of gameplay by using a relatively recent development—deep learning. Deep learning uses large data sets, “machine learning” algorithms (计算程序) and deep neural (神经的) networks to teach the AI how to perform a particular set of tasks. Rather than programming complex Go rules and strategies into Alpha Go, Deep Mind designers taught Alpha Go to play the game by feeding it data based on typical Go moves. Then, Alpha Go played against itself, tirelessly learning from its own mistakes and improving its game play over time. The results speak for themselves. Deep learning represents a shift in the relationship humans have with their technological creations. It results in AI that displays surprising and unpredictable behaviour. Commenting after his first loss, Lee described being shocked by an unconventional move he claimed no human would ever have made. Demis Hassabis, one of Deep Mind’s founders, echoed this comment: “We’re very pleased that Alpha Go played some quite surprising and beautiful moves.” Unpredictability and surprises are—or can be—a good thing. They can indicate that a system is working well, perhaps better than the humans that came before it. Such is the case with Alpha Go. However, unpredictability also indicates a loss of human control. That Hassabis is surprised at his creation’s behaviour suggests a lack of control in the design. And though some loss of control might be fine in the context of a game such as Go, it raises urgent questions elsewhere. How much and what kind of control should we give up to AI machines? How should we design appropriate human control into AI that requires us to give up some of that very control? Is there some AI that we should just not develop if it means any loss of human control? How much of a say should corporations, governments, experts or citizens have in these matters? These important questions, and many others like them, have emerged in response, but remain unanswered. They require human, not human-like, solutions. So as we drink to the milestone in AI, let’s also drink to the understanding that the time to answer deeply human questions about deep learning and AI is now. 47. What contributes most to the unconventional move of Alpha Go in the game? A. The capability of self-improvement. B. The constant input of large data sets. C. The installation of deep neutral networks. D. The knowledge of Go rules and strategies. 48. A potential danger of AI is ______. A. the loss of human control B. the friendly relationship C. the fierce competition D. the lack of challenge 49. How should we deal with the unpredictability of AI? A. We should stop AI machines from developing even further. B. We should call on the government to solve these problems for us. C. We should rely on ourselves and come up with effective solutions. D. We should invent even more intelligent machines to solve everything. 50. What’s the author’s attitude towards this remarkable advance in AI? A. Supportive. B. Optimistic. C. Doubtful. D. Cautious. 解析：47.推测题。根据第二段的 AI 学习过程可以得知 AI 可以通过不断和自己比赛吸取经 验获得自我提高。 48.细节题。根据第四段“However, unpredictability also indicates a loss of human control.”。 49.推断题。根据第五段最后“They require human, not human-like, solutions.”可知。 50.作者态度题。根据最后一段可知作者对于 AI 的先进性持谨慎态度。 答案：47. A 48. A 49. C 50. D 第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，共 10 分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为 多余选项。 Being Left-handed in a Right-handed World The world is designed for right-handed people, but why does a tenth of the population prefer the left? 51 The answer to it remains a bit of a mystery. Since scientists have noticed that left-handedness tends to run in families, it’s assumed that left-handedness has a genetic(基因 component to it. 52 In fact, identical twins, who share the same genes, can sometimes prefer to use different hands. There are also plenty of theories on what else might determine which hand you write with, but many experts believe that it’s kind of random. Historically, the left side and left-handedness have been considered a negative thing by many cultures. 53 In some areas, the left hand became known as the “unclean” hand. In many religions, the right hand of God is the favored hand. For example, Jesus sits at God’s right side. God’s left hand, however, is the hand of judgment. Various activities and experiences become rude or even signs of bad luck when the left hand becomes involved. In some parts of Scotland, it is considered bad luck to meet a left-handed person at the start of a journey. 54 A person giving directions will put their left hand behind them and even physically try to point with their right hand if necessary. In some Asian countries, eating with the left hand is considered impolite. 55 People come to realize that left-handedness is natural. People even noticed that many famous people are left-handed, including Benjamin Franklin, Leonardo Da Vinci, and Charlie Chaplin. Some researchers find out that lefties are more creative and can deal with abstract thinking better. The left-handedness is more easily adaptable to the right-handed world as well. Being left- handed is no longer a sad story now; instead, it is a wonderful gift or maybe it is something you should take pride in. A. In other words, left-handers are born that way. B. Left-handedness used to be regarded as a disability. C. The unfavorable associations of the use of the left hand among cultures are varied. D. Why do they prefer to use their left hand rather than their right hand for routine activities? E. Why do some parents force their left-handed children to become right-handed when writing? F. In Ghana, pointing, gesturing, giving or receiving items with the left hand is considered rude. G. Fortunately, nowadays most societies and cultures no longer reject left-handedness like before. 解析：51.根据前文的问句以及后文的内容，可知以问句引出下文，选择 D。 52.根据前文的左撇子的形成有基因的原因，可以用 A 进行同义解释。 53.根据前文在许多文化背景下，左撇子被认为是消极的，不好的。可知和文化有关，得到 C。 54.根据前文提到 In some parts of Scotland 以及之后的 In some Asian countries 并结合后文 giving directions 的内容可以得到 F。 55. G 根据最后一段主要内容是现在呢人们开始意识到左撇子是很正常的行为，并且本句作 为开头，可以推断出 G 作为本段大意总结。 答案：51. D 52. A 53. C 54. F 55.
