21、In 1945, 23-year-old Joan Hinton was one of the few female nuclear physicists joining in the Manhattan Project, an American project set up in 1942 to develop an atom bomb. Even as she rejoiced in the project’s success, she was deeply shocked when the U.S. dropped two bombs in Japan in 1945 during World War II. She then quit the project and left the U.S..
In 1948, she managed to travel to Yan’an, where she married her boyfriend Erwin Engst. Her husband got his first impressions of China from the book Red Star Over China by Edgar Snow. He came to China as a member of the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration in 1946 and went on to serve as an expert on farm equipment in Yan’an. “My father kept on writing letters to my mom, telling her to come to China and that ‘China was about to climb a hill. If you arrive late, you’ll miss the bus’,” Fred Engst, son of Hinton, said.
Hinton and her husband lived a simple life in China. During her time in Yan’an, she only stood out as a foreigner, dressed in ordinary clothes. The villagers treated the U.S. scientist like they would be a family member. During one Chinese New Year’s party in the village she lived in, Hinton shared her sense of humor by amusing the locals with her performances using a northern Shaanxi dialect (方言).
The couple witnessed the establishment of the People’s Republic of China in 1949. Hinton, who held high hopes of making milk available to the Chinese population, devoted herself to the improvement of agricultural machinery and the milk industry at large. She applied her scientific skills to developing a continuous-flow automatic milk pasteurizer (巴氏杀菌机) and tending to about 200 cows in the following years.
Hinton was truly devoted to everything she did, whether in nuclear physics or the milk industry.

22、Imagine looking through 3.7 million outfits online in search of just the right fit. Sounds like an impossible task, doesn’t it? Not anymore — artificial intelligence (AI) stylists make such a task possible.
An AI stylist is a computer algorithm (算法) that can put together outfits. It works by scouring the internet in a very similar way to the Google search engine. The program searches for clothing images on fashion blogs, online stores and social media, collecting thousands of outfits created by human stylists. The program can also “read” text and pick out important details about each article of clothing. Both the images and text are stored in a data set from which the AI stylist makes fashion suggestions for people based on their personal preferences.
An AI stylist can collect tens of thousands of outfits to display to millions of shoppers online. This data set of outfits is constantly updated and controlled by a team of people. The team helps the computer improve the algorithms which in turn helps the AI stylist put together better outfits for a customer.
An AI stylist displays outfits and fittings based on a customer’s desires, but it can also suggest things that may be a little out of the customer’s comfort zone. People are often willing to try something new if they are following styling advice.
An AI stylist can run into trouble when people of different cultures use it. What is trendy in Asia can be very different from what is fashionable in Europe. AI stylists keep up with the latest trends in different countries and then change the program for different regions. Companies can create a set of guidelines for the AI stylist to use, which can be adjusted by country to reflect preferences for different styles.
An Al stylist must also keep up with “fashion rules”. For example, big-sleeved tops do not go with skinny fit blazers. It is difficult for the AI stylist to recognize “rules” like these. So a different AI model that can recognize the cut, style and color of garments adds that information to the database.
AI stylists have been tested against real stylists and fashion influencers and have received positive feedback. Maybe someday we won’t put together an outfit without using our AI consultant first.
【1】How can an AI stylist choose the suitable outfit from plentiful ones?
A．By its reading abilities.
B．By its supporting team.
C．By its powerful algorithm.
D．By its connection to the internet.
【2】Why does an AI stylist recommend slightly different styles from the users’ familiar ones?
A．Because the algorithms need updating.
B．Because AI stylists are testing customers’ feedback.
C．Because people usually accept professional suggestions.
D．Because AI stylists have not read the users’ preferences.
【3】What problem might AI stylists have?
A．They may fall behind the fashion.
B．They cannot be accessible in some countries.
C．They cannot recognize the styles of some clothes.
D．They may be unable to understand some fashion rules.
【4】Which of the following words best describes the future of AI stylists?
A．Uncertain.
B．Doubtful.
C．Predictable.
D．Promising.
【5】What is the most suitable title for the passage?
A．AI VS. Humans
B．How to Choose a Proper AI
C．AI: Changing How You Look
D．Warning: AI Replacing Stylists
23、Chinese people love food made of flour, whether it be dumplings, or flatbread. In the hands of skilled artisans(手艺人), flour is made into lovely models of people or animals to be enjoyed and played with, which brings a unique kind of pleasure. This art form is called dough figurine(面塑). Among the various art styles of dough figurines, Beijing’s Dough Figurine Lang is a unique folk art, which is filled with the rich history and customs of the capital city. Their delicate and lovely handicrafts are storytellers of old and new Beijing. In 2008, it was included in the list of national intangible cultural heritage.
It was created by Lang Shao’an. Most of the dough figurines are animals and characters from legends, historical stories, and local operas. The finished product is either put at the end of a thin stick, or on a table for display. Some are mostly for children to eat or play with, with simple forms and vivid decorations, while some are delicate pieces of artwork for display only. For this reason, during the making process, they are often mixed with additives(添加剂)to prevent them from breaking up, being eaten by insects or growing moldy. Over the course of his long career, Lang Shao’an developed a set of skilled fingers with an elegant artistic sense.
Lang Jiaziyu, born in 1995, is the third-generation inheritor of Dough Figurine Lang. When he was 15, he created Beijing Olympic Mascot-shaped dough figurines which were highly praised. He looks a bit more fashionable than other folk artisans. In his skilled hands, pop culture icons such as figures based on Marvel comics characters and Chinese mythological figure Nezha with smoky makeup, are resonating with young people.
Like most of the other intangible cultural heritage handicrafts in China, Dough Figurine Lang does not get as much attention from the public. Many young people are unwilling to take the time to master a skill that does not make money, which has led to a decline in the number of those who are devoted to the handicraft. Good handicrafts need the devotion of artisans from one generation to another.
【1】Why do artisans add additives to dough figurines?
A．To make dough figurines taste good.
B．To keep colors brighter and last longer.
C．To help shape dough into various forms.
D．To better preserve the finished products.
【2】Which of the following is close in meaning of the underlined phrase?
A．are ignored by.
B．are well accepted by.
C．are concerned with.
D．are familiar with.
【3】What is the best title of the passage?
A．A Traditional Chinese Culture.
B．History and Customs of Beijing.
C．Dough Figurine and Its Inheritance.
D．An Intangible Cultural Heritage.
【4】What is the main purpose of the passage?
A．To call on people to master a skill.
B．To appeal to people to value this folk art.
C．To teach people ways to appreciate the handicraft.
D．To persuade people to protect national cultural heritage.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文，续写的词数应为l50左右。
Chito Shedden was a simple fisherman and tour guide from Siquirres, Limon Province, Costa Rica. He had a broad range of interesting facts about nature, which helped his business quite a bit. The year was 1989, and Chito was walking along the bank of the Reventazon River when he happened upon something very strange. There was a dying male crocodile. When he stepped up to investigate the skinny reptile, he realized it had been shot through the head and the left eye.
He knew, dangerous as it was, he couldn’t leave the poor animal there, alone and helpless. Chito acted quickly, calling for the help of several brave friends to load the heavy reptile into his boat. He knew that if he could heal it, he would then release it back into the wild. He named the huge reptile “Pocho”, which means strength, and began to care for him in his own backyard.
The kind and helpful fisherman started to heal Pocho with medicine, food, and, more importantly, lots of care and attention. Chito fed the crocodile a steady diet of chicken and fish. He bought medicine to prevent infection and even slept by his side at night.
Affection was one of the most important factors. Chito gave him kisses and hugs; he talked to him and petted him. “The crocodile needed my love to regain the will to live,”he said. In time, Pocho improved enough to return to normal health. It was time for him to return to his own river in the wild. Chito and his friends loaded the crocodile back into his boat and released him in a nearby river. The two parted ways and Chito returned home alone.
Paragraph 1:
Chito awoke the next morning and walked outside.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Pocho had bonded with his savior.
