21、 Artificial intelligence （Al） could soon help screen for Alzheimer's （阿尔兹海默症）disease by analyzing writing. A team from IBM and Pfizer says it has trained Al models to spot early signs of the illness by looking at language patterns in word usage.
Other researchers have already trained various models to look for signs of cognitive impairments （认知损伤）by using different types of data, such as brain scans and clinical test results. But the latest work stands out because it used historical information from the Framingham Heart Study, which has been tracking the health of more than 14,000 people from three generations since 1948. If the new models' ability to pick up trends in such data holds up in forward-looking studies of bigger and more diverse populations, researchers say they could predict the development of Alzheimer's disease a number of years before symptoms become severe enough for typical diagnostic methods to pick up. And such a screening tool would not require invasive （入侵性的）tests or scans.
Researchers praise the study as a solid contribution to the field that might draw more attention and resources to Al detection of Alzheimer's disease. It's one of the very few works that analyze the big-scale, real-life data that was collected over a very long period of time.
The new models might have been more accurate if it could have contained handwriting. This ability could provide additional clues. Using Al speech analysis to diagnose Alzheimer's disease is a growing area of research, and other systems have focused on detecting changes in audio samples. These contain clues such as speech pauses, which are not found in writing.
Whether written or spoken, language samples offer a relatively noninvasive source of information for monitoring peoples, cognitive health, compared with brain scans and other laboratory tests. Collecting such language data could be done cheaply and remotely—though doing so would still require strict informed permission and private information safeguards for the individuals creating the samples. This is especially true because some people may not want to even know how likely they are to develop Alzheimer's disease.
【1】How can Al help in spotting signs of Alzheimer's disease?
A.By scanning the person's brain.
B.By studying the person's various data.
C.By analyzing the person's word usage.
D.By testing the person's writing articles.
【2】What's special about the Al models from IBM?
A.They are based on historical data.
B.They detect early signs precisely.
C.They are applied to a wider population.
D.They make follow-up studies unnecessary.
【3】What might be a concern about the Al models for tested people?
A.Sample analysis. B.Data analysis.
C.Screening results. D.Privacy protection.
【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.Al——a way to fight Alzheimer’s B.AI——a tool to detect Alzheimer's
C.Al — a trend in treating diseases D.Al — a method for collecting data
22、More than a billion people around the world have smart phones, almost all of which come with some kind of navigation app such as Apple Maps or Amap. This raises the age-old question we meet with any technology: What abilities is our brain losing to these apps? But also, importantly: What abilities are we gaining?
Talking with people who are good at finding their way around or good at using paper maps, I often hear a lot of annoyance with digital maps. North/south direction gets messed up, and you can see only a small section at a time. I can really understand that it may be quite disturbing for the already skilled to be limited to a small phone screen.
But consider what digital navigation aids have meant for someone like me. Although being a frequent traveler, I'm so terrible at finding my way that I still use Apple Maps almost every day in the small town where I have lived for many years.
In many developed nations, street names and house numbers can be meaningful, and instructions such as go north for three blocks and──then west’’ make sense to those familiar with these rules. In Istanbul, however, where I grew up, none of those hold true. For one thing, the locals seldom use street names. Besides, the city is full of winding and ancient alleys(小巷) that cross with newer avenues at many angles. In such places, you’d better turn to the locals. In the countryside, however, there is often nobody outside to ask. In fact, along came Apple Maps, like a fairy grandmother whispering directions in my ear. Since then, I travel with a lot more confidence, and my world has opened up.
Which brings me back to my original question: While we often lose some skills after depending on new technology, this new equipment may also allow us to gain new abilities. Maybe when technology closes a door, we should also look for the doors it opens.
【1】Why do people who are skilled at reading paper maps feel upset?
A．They are interested in reading paper maps,
B．They don’t know how to use navigation, apps.
C．They are limited to a single smart phone app.
D．They are confused by digital maps’ direction.
【2】According to the text, which is the best way to find the destination in Istanbul?
A．Asking local people the way.
B．Following the navigation app.
C．Getting familiar with the city rules.
D．Looking for street names and house numbers.
【3】What’s the author’s attitude towards the navigation apps?
A．Cautious
B．Ambiguous
C．Favorable
D．Critical
【4】What could be the best title of the passage?
A．Benefits of Navigation Apps
B．Disadvantages of Navigation Apps
C．My World Opens Up by New Technology
D．Have Navigation Apps Worsened Our Brain?
23、 Kong Zhenlan, a 71-year-old woman from China’s Shanxi Province, has devoted the last four decades of her life to adopting orphans（孤儿）, making sure that they had food on the table and got access to education.
Even though she could only afford to support herself on a modest income, Kong Zhenlan couldn’t bear to walk by the orphanage in Jixian County every day and see so many children struggling in poverty. One day, she stopped by and picked one of the orphans in her arms. That’s when she knew she had to do something to make their life better. The modest woman started adopting these abandoned children and nurturing them as her own. Over the last 47 years, she has adopted 45 orphans, some of whom grew up to become doctors and lawyers.
Kong’s oldest adopted child is 45-years-old, while her youngest is 9-months-old. Today, her adult children donate some of their monthly salaries to help bring up their younger siblings（兄弟姐妹）, but in the beginning, the woman had to make due with what she had. And it wasn’t much. She would spend all her money making sure the children had milk to drink, and if there was none left for her, she would look for leftovers in local garbage cans.
The modest woman recently told Pear Video that over the last 40 years she has only been getting 2 hours of sleep per night. She goes to sleep at around midnight, after putting the children to sleep and finishing up her chores（家务）, and gets up around 2 am to check if they’re all still covered with blankets. She has gotten used to it and said that a short sleep was a small price to pay for making sure the children grow up healthy and happy.
【1】What does the underlined word“nurturing”in paragraph 2 probably mean？
A.Examining. B.Observing.
C.Raising. D.Preferring.
【2】How do Kong Zhenlan’s adult children help her？
A.Support her financially. B.Raise money every month.
C.Sell milk in the midnight. D.Pick up leftovers when free.
【3】What makes Kong Zhenlan spare no effort to raise the orphans？
A.Her desire to get rid of loneliness. B.Her eagerness to get fame and wealth.
C.Her wish to find a better job in this way. D.Her hope for the children to have a happy life.
【4】Which of the following best describes Kong Zhenlan？
A.Easy-going. B.Kind.
C.Creative. D.Reasonable.
24、The Best Films of 2022
Tar
Set in the international world of Western classical music, the film centers on Lydia Tar. She is widely considered as one of the greatest living composer-conductors and first-ever female music director of a German orchestra. It is an unfolding thriller about a brilliant artist who’s destroyed by her own appetites. So many of the people who see “Tar” come away believing that Lydia Tar actually exists.
The Fabelmans
Spiclberg was right to wait this long to tell the story of his youth on film. He has made a vivid and well-structured biography that looks back in love and anger. The movie not only aches at memories of watching the separation of his parents, but also tells teen tales of romance and prejudice. And we can feel Spielberg’s enthusiasm in the medium he would revolutionize.
Turn Every Page
If Lizzic Gottlicb’s documentary about Robert Caro and Robert Gottlicb were just a piece of good-old-days literary work, it wouldn’t be a deep and satisfying movie. Robert Caro, who is an outstanding author of “The Power Broker”, and Robert Gottlieb, the legendary editor who has guided all of Caro’s books, emerge as stimulating giants. What unites them is their devotion to the civilizing glory of the word.
The Musical
The plot of the movie is about Evan, a New York kid suffering from his parents’ divorce, as he tries to absorb himself into small-town Indiana and stage a successful Coming-of-Age Day. The more we see the movie directed by Tamra Davis, the more we will be addicted to the magic of the songs and the energy released by the musical sequences.

A．Germany history.
B．Literary world.
C．Classical music.
D．Indiana culture.
【2】Which movie would you choose if you like documentary?

We then_______ to go to our respective work places. To this day, I don’t know anything about that business man. But I’ve never_______ the words he said or the way his smile seemed like a ray of light on a gloomy day. That was a good deed 25 years ago, but the______ this had on my life has lasted. I never had a_______ to thank him personally, but the way in which I choose to look at life as a result of those words is his legacy (遗赠) to me and my thanks to him.
