Beijing Opera is the most typical of all Chinese traditional dramatic art forms and the largest Chinese opera form. Having a history of about 200 years, it is developed from absorbing (吸收) many other dramatic forms, mostly from the local drama “Huiban”, which was popular in South China during the 18th century. It is a scenic (戏剧的) art including music, performance, literature, aria and face painting.
Theatrical art forms in many other countries do not present singing, dancing and spoken parts in one single drama. An opera singer, for example, neither dances nor speaks on stage; there are no singing or dancing parts in a modern play; in a dance drama, the dancer has no speaking role and does not sing either. Traditional Chinese drama, including Beijing Opera, is a kind of entertainment which includes spoken parts, singing, dancing and acrobatics.
Besides its presence in China, Beijing Opera has spread to many other places. Mei Lanfang, one of the most famous performers of all time, was the first to introduce Beijing Opera to foreigners and made highly successful tours to foreign countries.
“You will be puzzled (困惑的) all the way through and a little bored from time to time; but you will be charmed and interested. You will be strongly attracted to Beijing Opera even if you know nothing of the dramatic background.” This is how one American traveler described his first experience in watching Beijing Opera.
Beijing Opera is China’s national opera and it is full of Chinese cultural traditions. Welcome to China and enjoy Beijing Opera!

Scientists train AI to read human thoughts
Scientists have created a new tool that can turn people’s thoughts into words. It works by using an AI program called GPT-1 to translate brain activity words. In order to achieve this, scientists did a lot.
First, scientists got everything ready before the tests. They invited some volunteers. Each spent sixteen hours listening to stories in a scanner (扫描仪). They imagined the stories as they heard them, and the scanner recorded their brain activity. GPT-1 made connections between the ideas in the stories and the recordings of the listeners’ brain activity.
Then came the tests. The scientists did them in three different ways.
Test 1
The researchers played a new story. GPT-1 was only given recordings of the volunteers’ brain activity. But the words that GPT-1 predicted (预测) were very similar to the words in the story that they were listening to. The words weren’t exactly the same, but they often carried the same meaning. For example, when a volunteer was listening to a story about a woman who didn’t have a driver’s license (驾照), the program came up with this: “She hasn’t even started to learn to drive yet.”
Test 2
The scientists also carried out the test when volunteers imagined their own stories. “It really works at the level of ideas. The ideas are the same but expressed in different words.” says Alexander Huth, one of the scientists behind the study.
Test 3
The researchers showed the volunteers silent movies, with no spoken words at all. GPT-1 could still figure out (算出) the basic ideas.
After the tests, the scientists say that GPT-1 is the first AI program to turn what people are thinking into words without brain surgery (外科手术). The tool isn’t something that can be easily used today, mainly because of the size and the cost of the scanner. In the future, they believe, a similar but cheaper tool could help people who have lost the ability to speak because of an injury or disease.
The scientists say their tool can’t be used to “read people’s minds” without permission (允许). The tool only works if the person wants to share their thoughts.
23. What was the scanner used to do
A. Record brain activity. B. Read the volunteers’ ideas.
C. Catch the ideas of stories. D. Work out the ideas.
24. In which way was information put into volunteers’ brain in Test 3
A. Listening. B. Imagining. C. Watching. D. Reading.
25. Who could the tool help according to the passage
A. People who can’t speak. B. People who can’t hear.
C. People who can’t read. D. People who can’t drive.
【答案】23. A 24. C 25. A
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了科学家们创造了一种新的工具，可以把人们的思想转化为文字。
【23题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“and the scanner recorded their brain activity.”可知扫描仪记录大脑活动。故选A。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据“The researchers showed the volunteers silent movies, with no spoken words at all.”可知研究人员给志愿者们看了一些无声电影，这些电影没有任何言语，所以是“看”。故选C。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据文中“The researchers showed the volunteers silent movies, with no spoken words at all. GPT-1 could still figure out (算出) the basic ideas.”和“In the future, they believe, a similar but cheaper tool could help people who have lost the ability to speak because of an injury or disease.”可推断这个工具可以帮助不能说话的人。故选A。

句意：它对课堂上的老师帮助很大。根据“It...a teacher in the classroom a lot. ”并结合备选词可知，此处指的是它老师帮助很大，该句为一般现在时，主语为It，谓语动词用单三形式，故填helps。
【44题详解】
句意：毕竟，不是所有的老师都有时间让每个孩子正确洗手。根据分析句子“make each child wash his hands...”并结合备选词可知，此处指让每个孩子正确洗手，proper“正确的”，形容词，此处应该用其副词形式properly，修饰动词wash，意为“正确地”符合语境。故填properly。
【45题详解】
句意：现在的孩子洗手的时间比以前长得多，因为他们喜欢在手上画画。根据“because they like drawing on hands”并结合备选词可知，此处应该指的是因为他们喜欢在手上画画，可见孩子们洗手的时间比之前更长，long长的，形容词，根据“much”以及“than”可知，此空需用比较级。故填longer。

How to Be a Better Person

First of all, we should have a healthy life, which means we eat well, take more exercise and have enough sleep. Second, we should not be afraid of challenges, trying our best to solve the problems in our study and life. I once overcame the fear to swim and got a good mark in the P.E. class. Third, we should be kind and be ready to help others. We should get on well with others. Finally, we should keep the responsibilities in mind. We should serve society and help the weak.
If we start to develop these good habits, we will become better and make a difference to the world.

Beijing Opera is the most typical of all Chinese traditional dramatic art forms and the largest Chinese opera form. Having a history of about 200 years, it is developed from absorbing (吸收) many other dramatic forms, mostly from the local drama “Huiban”, which was popular in South China during the 18th century. It is a scenic (戏剧的) art including music, performance, literature, aria and face painting.
Theatrical art forms in many other countries do not present singing, dancing and spoken parts in one single drama. An opera singer, for example, neither dances nor speaks on stage; there are no singing or dancing parts in a modern play; in a dance drama, the dancer has no speaking role and does not sing either. Traditional Chinese drama, including Beijing Opera, is a kind of entertainment which includes spoken parts, singing, dancing and acrobatics.
Besides its presence in China, Beijing Opera has spread to many other places. Mei Lanfang, one of the most famous performers of all time, was the first to introduce Beijing Opera to foreigners and made highly successful tours to foreign countries.
“You will be puzzled (困惑的) all the way through and a little bored from time to time; but you will be charmed and interested. You will be strongly attracted to Beijing Opera even if you know nothing of the dramatic background.” This is how one American traveler described his first experience in watching Beijing Opera.
Beijing Opera is China’s national opera and it is full of Chinese cultural traditions. Welcome to China and enjoy Beijing Opera!
19. How long is the history of Beijing Opera
A. One hundred years. B. Two hundred years.
C. Three hundred years. D. Four hundred years.
20. According to Paragraph 3, what does the writer think of Mei Lanfang
A. He played an important role in spreading Beijing Opera.
B. He isn’t as famous as the other Beijing Opera performer.
C. He never introduced Beijing Opera to the world.
D. He is a performer who doesn’t like to travel around the world.
21. Which of the following is True about Beijing Opera
A. There are no dancing parts in modern Beijing Opera.
B. Beijing Opera presents singing dancing and spoken parts.
C. Beijing Opera hasn’t absorbed the other art forms.
D. Nowadays, young people aren’t interested in Beijing Opera.
22. What’s the writer’s purpose in writing the article
A. To show us the foreigners opinions. B. To introduce Mei Lanfang.
C. To tell the differences between dramas. D. To introduce Beijing Opera.
D
Scientists train AI to read human thoughts
Scientists have created a new tool that can turn people’s thoughts into words. It works by using an AI program called GPT-1 to translate brain activity words. In order to achieve this, scientists did a lot.
First, scientists got everything ready before the tests. They invited some volunteers. Each spent sixteen hours listening to stories in a scanner (扫描仪). They imagined the stories as they heard them, and the scanner recorded their brain activity. GPT-1 made connections between the ideas in the stories and the recordings of the listeners’ brain activity.
Then came the tests. The scientists did them in three different ways.
Test 1
The researchers played a new story. GPT-1 was only given recordings of the volunteers’ brain activity. But the words that GPT-1 predicted (预测) were very similar to the words in the story that they were listening to. The words weren’t exactly the same, but they often carried the same meaning. For example, when a volunteer was listening to a story about a woman who didn’t have a driver’s license (驾照), the program came up with this: “She hasn’t even started to learn to drive yet.”
Test 2
The scientists also carried out the test when volunteers imagined their own stories. “It really works at the level of ideas. The ideas are the same but expressed in different words.” says Alexander Huth, one of the scientists behind the study.
Test 3
The researchers showed the volunteers silent movies, with no spoken words at all. GPT-1 could still figure out (算出) the basic ideas.
After the tests, the scientists say that GPT-1 is the first AI program to turn what people are thinking into words without brain surgery (外科手术). The tool isn’t something that can be easily used today, mainly because of the size and the cost of the scanner. In the future, they believe, a similar but cheaper tool could help people who have lost the ability to speak because of an injury or disease.
The scientists say their tool can’t be used to “read people’s minds” without permission (允许) The tool only works if the person wants to share their thoughts.
23. What was the scanner used to do
A. Record brain activity. B. Read the volunteers’ ideas.
C. Catch the ideas of stories. D. Work out the ideas.
24. In which way was information put into volunteers’ brain in Test 3
A. Listening. B. Imagining. C. Watching. D. Reading.
25. Who could the tool help according to the passage
A. People who can’t speak. B. People who can’t hear.
C. People who can’t read. D. People who can’t drive.
E

____30____ “Volunteering makes you look at the world differently. You see how little things can change a person’s life for the better, which makes everyone a better person,” Mason, a volunteer said. “Little things can change a person’s life.”
