Children learn to construct language from those around them. Until about the age of three, children tend to
learn to develop their language by modeling the speech of their parents, but from that time on, peers have a growing
influence as models for language development in children. It is easy to observe that, when adults and old children
interact with younger children, they tend to change their language to improve communication with younger children,
and this changed language is called caretaker speech
When speaking to young children most people will, without thinking, find ways to simplify their language. A
caretaker will speak in one way with adults and in a very different way with young children. Caretaker speech tends高一英语 第 5 页 共 12 页
to be slower speech with short simple words which are said in a high-pitched (高嗓音)voice with strong inflections
(音调变化) and many repetitions of essential information.
Caretaker speech serves the very important function of allowing young children to acquire (学得) language
more easily. The simplified words and sentences make it easier for the small child to begin to comprehend, and the
repetitions strengthen the child’s developing understanding. Then, as a child’s speech develops, caretakers tend to
adjust their language to a level that is slightly above that of a younger child. Without recognition of what they are
doing, these caretakers will speak in one way to a one-year-old and in a more complex (复杂的) way as the child
reaches the age of two or three.
There are debates among experts about whether caretaker speech is a natural function or a learned one. Those
who believe that caretaker speech is a natural function in humans believe that it is human nature for children to
acquire language and for those around them to encourage children to learn language naturally; the presence of a
child is itself a natural stimulus (刺激) that increases the rate of caretaker speech among those present.
However, other experts believe that caretaker speech develops through nurturing (教育) rather than nature.
They argue that people will try out different ways to communicate with a child and according to the child’s
responses, choose the most effective speech; a parent might, for example, learn to use speech with strong inflections
with a small child because the strong inflections do a better job attracting the child’s attention than do more small
inflections.
24. According to the text, children over the age of three .
A. learn little language from those around them
B. are no longer influenced by the language of their parents
C. are influenced more by those closer to their own age
D. stop using caretaker speech in communication
25. Which of the following is TRUE about caretaker speech?
A. Most people are not familiar with the use of caretaker speech.
B. People generally speak louder to young children without realizing it.
C. Young children use caretaker speech to express themselves.
D. Caretaker speech cannot be understood if it is said only once.
26. It can be learned that parents tend to .
A. speak in the same way to a one-year-old and a three-year-old
B. use language that is far above the language level of a child高一英语 第 6 页 共 12 页
C. speak in a progressively less complex way as a child grows up
D. change their speech according to the language development of a child
27. It can be inferred that someone who believes in nurture over nature .
A. doesn’t believe children have a born ability to learn language
B. prefers to communicate with children in adults’ language
C. encourages parents to adjust their speech to children’s needs
D. has a better understanding of children’s language learning
C
Social media promotion (促销) has become so important nowadays that businesses are offering freebies to
anyone with a certain following on popular social networks. Case in point, this Milan-based restaurant that offers
free sushi to people with a bit of influence on Instagram.
Matteo and Tomaso Pittarello, the owners of the “This Is Not a Sushibar” restaurant in Milan, are well aware of
the potential (潜力) of social networks like Instagram, and they’re more than willing to give away some sushi, if it
means getting some exposure (曝光). At their restaurant, people have the classic payment choices-cash or card-plus
a novel one, paying in Instagram followers. ① The idea is pretty simple: the more followers you have, the
more you can eat without having to spend a cent.
It makes sense that Instagram stars with hundreds of thousands or even millions of followers get the most free
food, but even a few 1,000 followers on the photo-sharing platform will get you a free bit to it Customers who have
between 1,000 and 5,000 followers will get a free sushi plate. 5,000 to 10,000 followers get you two free plates,
10,000 to 50,000, four free dishes, 50,000 to 100,000 followers, eight dishes, and people with 100,000 Instagram
followers get a free full lunch or dinner.
② Just having a lot of followers isn’t enough, customers also have to publish a post on their Instagram
account and tag @thisisnotasishibar and include the hashtag #thisisnotasushibar. will only receive their free sushi
after showing the publish post at the counter.
③ “Today, advertising (广告) on social networks and, in particular, Instagram, is what works best,” the
Pittarello brothers said, adding that the aim of their Instagram payment method is twofold--by involving
Instagrammers both big and small, the business will get bigger exposure, and it will also make customers feel
engaged in the project.
“This Is Not a Sushibar” introduced the payment alternative (选择), but we’ll have to wait and see how long it
will exist for. ④ . Without a set limit of daily Instagram payments, I think the restaurant may start recording高一英语 第 7 页 共 12 页
losses pretty soon. After all, 1,000 followers on Instagram are not that hard to get, and people will rarely say no to a
free lunch.
28. The underlined word “novel” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to .
A. free B. new C. fun D. easy
29. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Customers prefer to pay by Instagram rather than in cash or by bank card.
B. Thousands of Instagram users have enjoyed the restaurant’s free sushi.
C. The Pittarello brothers don’t want to advertise through traditional media.
D. Asking customers to publish a post benefits both businesses and customers.
30. The sentence “There is one catch though” can be put in .
A. ① B. ② C. ③ D. ④
31. What is the author’s attitude towards the Instagram payment choice?
A. Concerned. B. Optimistic. C. Supportive. D. Objective.
D
You may think that creativity and artistic judgment are what sets humans apart from artificial intelligence (AI).
Robots will be washing our windows long before they start creating masterpieces Right?
Not necessarily. At Amper Music (www.ampermusic.com) you can make the music you want based on mood,
instrument, speed and length. You click “Render,” and boom! There’s your original piece, not only composed (作曲)
but also “performed” and “mixed” by AI software.
But something has kept bothering me: What happens in a world where effort and scarcity (稀缺) are no longer
part of the definition of art? A mass-produced print of the Mona Lisa is worth less than the actual Leonardo painting.
Why? Scarcity—there’s only one of the original. But Amper turns. professional-quality original piece of music
every time you click “Render.” It puts us in a strange world where works of art are unique but require almost zero
human effort to produce. Should anyone pay for these things? And if an artist puts AI masterpieces up for sale what
should the price be?
That’s not just a thought experiment either. Soon the question “What’s the value of AI artwork and music?” will
start impacting flesh—and—blood consumers. It has already, in fact.
Earlier, reporters discovered something suspicious (可疑的) about many playlists of Spotify—another online
music service. According to the report, the composers and bands who wrote the songs appeared to be nonexistent.
These playlists have names like Peaceful Piano and Ambient Chill—exactly the kind of music AI software is good高一英语 第 8 页 共 12 页
at.
Is Spotify using software to compose music to avoid paying fees to human musicians? The New York Times
reported that the tracks with false names have been played 500 million times, which would ordinarily have cost
Spotify $3 million in payments.
But Spotify has firmly denied that the tracks in question were created by “fake” artists to avoid payments:
while posted under pennames, they were written by actual people receiving actual money for work that they own.
But the broader issue remains. Why couldn’t Spotify, or any music service, start using AI to produce free music to
save itself money? Automation (自动化) is beginning to replace millions of human taxi drivers, truck drivers and
fast-food workers. Why should artists and musicians be an exception to the same economics?
Should there be anything in place—a union, a law---to stop that from happening? Or will we always value
human-produced art and music more than machine-made stuff? Once we’ve answered those questions, we can settle
the really big one: When an AI—composed song wins the Grammy, who will be awarded?
32. What do we know from the example of Amper Music?
A. It doesn’t need any human effort to compose music.
B. It allows ordinary people to perform their own music.
C. It makes a challenge to the traditional definition of art.
D. It produces music works that are similar in styles.
33. The underlined part in Paragraph 4 implies that .
A. it is hard to tell AI artworks apart from human artworks
B. people will be charged for AI art in the near future
C. people don’t know what price of AI art is reasonable
D. the scarcity of AI artworks means it is one of a copy
34. Spotify was covered in the media because .
A. AI music can be performed free of charge
B. its musicians might not be paid fairly
C. playlists of its music did not actually exist
D. AI software has replaced human musicians
35. The writing purpose of this passage is to .
A. draw deserved attention to AI-made artworks
B. warn against the immediate threat from Al art高一英语 第 9 页 共 12 页
C. support the use of Al software in art creation
D. solve misunderstandings about AI’s role in art

It should be easy for you to recognize faces of your family and friends. But can you remember faces that you’ve
only seen once? You might think it is very difficult.
36 They are the so-called “super recognizers”, who can remember at least 80 percent of the faces
they’ve seen. 37 But studies show that at least one person in every recognizer, reported the Daily Mail.
Bournemouth University in the UK recently carried out research trying to find out recognizers have a different
way to process feces. They have found that when these people look a faces, they spend more time looking at the
person’s nose. 38 Their super ability is limited only to face recognition.
39 Some super recognizers never forget faces. But for some, if you present pairs of feces to them at the
same time, they can quickly decide whether the faces are of the same person or two different people.
In fact, many super recognizers say they are very good at “spotting” (发现) faces in a crowd. These subtypes of
super recognition could be applied to many areas. 40 Super recognizers could help match faces in CCTV
footage (闭路电视镜头). They could also help police spot known troublemakers, bad people or even missing
people in crowds.
A. However, studies have found a small number of people have amazing face recognition skills.
B. Researchers have tried to find how certain people are so good at recognizing faces.
C. It is also found that these people are not particularly smarter than others.
D. It is unknown how many people truly have these skills.
E. For example, the skills could be very useful at a passport control checkpoint.
F. The research also found that in general these super recognizers have a good memory.
G.Another important finding is that there are subtypes of super recognition.

Now there are 32 million deaf children around the world and they often have 61 (difficult)
learning to read. Smartphone maker Huawei wants to help them out through its new app called StorySign.
62 (power) by a Huawei Artificial Intelligence engine, the app helps deaf children to read
63 turning written text to a display of sign language. Users can also choose a book from the app’s library
that is then displayed in sign language 64 (use) animated ( 栩栩如生的) characters.
The developers aim to make the app’s main character called Star popular with both boys and girls by
making her an elder sister or friend, who will help them read and understand the book. Star wears a hearing
aid, 65 facial 66 (express) and hands are able to fully communicate the perfect sign language.
This way, not only 67 (be) the deaf children learning to read, but also they are entertained.
“Many deaf children struggle 68 (learn) to read, often due to lack of resources that bridge the
gap between sign language and written text. The app 69 (perfect) gives them this tool to make it much
70 (easy) for them to read.” said Andrew Garrihy, Huawei’s CMO for Western Europe.
The app can be downloaded from app stores in 10 different languages including English, French,
German and Italian.
