12．（8 分）It is reported in the national press that a letter written by Charles Darwin in 1875 has
been returned to the Smithsonian Institution Archives （档案馆） by the FBI after being
stolen twice．
"We realized in the mid﹣1970s that it was missing，" says Effie Kapsalis， head of the
Smithsonian Institution Archives． "It was noted as missing and likely taken by an intern （实
习生）， from what the FBI is telling us． Word got out that it was missing when someone
asked to see the letter for research purposes，" and the intern put the letter back． "The intern
likely took the letter again once nobody was watching it．"
Decades passed． Finally， the FBI received a tip that the stolen document was located very
close to Washington， D．C． Their art crime team recovered the letter but were unable to press
charges because the time of limitations had ended． The FBI worked closely with the Archives
to determine that the letter was both authentic and definitely Smithsonian's property．
The letter is in fairly good condition， in spite of being out of the care of trained museum
staff for so long． "It was luckily in good shape，" says Kapsalis， "and we just have to do
some minor things in order to be able to unfold it． It has some glue on it that has colored it
slightly， but nothing that will prevent us from using it． After it is repaired， we will take
digital photos of it and that will be available online． One of our goals is to get items of high
research value or interest to the public online．"
It would now be difficult for an intern ， visitor or a thief to steal a document like
this． "Archiving practices have changed greatly since the 1970s，" says Kapsalis， "and we
keep our high value documents in a safe that I don't even have access to．"
（1）What happened to Darwin's letter in the 1970s？
A．It was recovered by the FBI．
B．It was put in the archives for research purposes．
C．It was stolen more than once．
D．It was purchased by the Smithsonian Archives．
（2）What did the FBI do after the recovery of the letter？
A． They pressed criminal charges in vain．
B． They kept it in a special safe．
C． They arrested the suspect immediately．
D． They proved its authenticity．
（3）What will the Smithsonian Institution Archives do with the letter according to Kapsalis？
A． Reserve it for research purposes only．
B． Make it available online．
C． Keep it a permanent secret．
D． Turn it into an object of high interest．
（4）What can be a suitable title for the text？
A．A Letter by Charles Darwin Returns to the Smithsonian
B．The Smithsonian Tightens Security Measures
C．The Smithsonian Charges an Intern with Theft
D．The FBI Cracks a Criminal Case
13．（8 分）In order to help cope with the vast number of student questions in the online class，
Knowledge﹣Based Artificial Intelligence， Professor Ashok Goel of Georgia Tech developed
an artificially intelligent teaching assistant ． This online course is a core requirement of
Georgia Tech's online Master of Science in Computer Science program ． Professor Goel
already had eight teaching assistants， but that wasn't enough to handle the vast number of
daily questions from students．
Many students drop out of online courses because of the lack of teaching support． When
students feel isolated or confused and reach out with questions that go unanswered， their
motivation to continue begins to fade． Professor Goel decided to do something to remedy this
situation and his solution was to create a virtual assistant named Jill Watson， which is based
on the IBM Watson platform．
Goel and his team developed several versions of Jill Watson before releasing her to the
online forums． At first， the virtual assistant wasn't too great． But Goel and his team sourced
the online discussion forum to find all the 40，000 questions that had ever been asked since the
class was launched． Then they began to feed Jill with the questions and answers． After some
adjustment and ample time， Jill was able to answer the students' questions correctly 97% of
the time． The virtual assistant became so advanced and realistic that the students didn't know
she was a computer ． The students ， who were studying artificial intelligence ， were
interacting with the virtual assistant and couldn't tell it from a real human being． Goel didn't
inform them about Jill's true identity until April 26． The students were actually very positive
about the experience．
The goal of Professor Goel's virtual assistant next year is to take over answering 40% of
all the questions posed by students on the online forum． The name Jill Watson will， of
course， change to something else next semester． Professor Goel has a much rosier forecast
on the future of artificial intelligence than， say， Elon Musk， Stephen Hawking， Bill
Gates or Steve Wozniak．
（1）What do we learn about Knowledge﹣Based Artificial Intelligence？
A．It is a robot that can answer students' questions．
B．It is a high﹣tech device that revolutionizes teaching．
C．It is a course designed for students to learn online．
D．It is a computer program that aids student learning．
（2）What does the underlined word "remedy" in the paragraph 2 mean？
A． Boycott．
B． Improve．
C． Evaluate．
D． Corrupt．
（3）What do we learn about Jill Watson？
A．She was unwelcome to students at first．
B．She got along pretty well with students．
C．She turned out to be a great success．
D．She was released online as an experiment．
（4）What does Professor Goel plan to do next with Jill Watson？
A．Assign her to answer more of students' questions．
B．Upgrade her intelligence to the level of top scientists．
C．Launch different versions of her online．
D．Encourage students to interact with her more freely．
14．（8 分）If you were like most children， you probably got upset when your mother called you
by a brother's or sister's name． How could she not know you？ Did it mean she loved you
less？
Probably not． According to the first research to deal with this topic head﹣on， misnaming
the most familiar people in our life is a common cognitive （认知的） error that has to do
with how our memories classify and store familiar names．
The study， published online in April in the journal Memory and Cognition， found that
the "wrong" name is not random but is always fished out from the same relationship pond：
children， friends， brothers and sisters． The study did not examine the possibility of deep
psychological significance to the mistake， says psychologist David Rubin， "but it does tell
us who's in and who's out of the group．"
The study also found that within that group， misnamings occurred where the names shared
initial or internal sounds， like Jimmy and Joanie or John and Bob． Physical resemblance
between people was not a factor． Nor was gender．
The researchers conducted five separate surveys of more than 1，700 people． Some of the
surveys included only college students ； others were done with a mixed ﹣ age
population． Some asked subjects about incidents where someone close to them ﹣ family or
friend ﹣ had called them by another person's name． The other surveys asked about times
when subjects had themselves called someone close to them by the wrong name． All the
surveys found that people mixed up names within relationship groups such as grandchildren，
friends and brothers and sisters but hardly ever crossed these boundaries．
In general， the study found that undergraduates were almost as likely as old people to
make this mistake and men as likely as women． Older people and women made the mistake
slightly more often， but that may be because grandparents have more grandchildren to mix
up than parents have children． Also， mothers may call on their children more often than
fathers， given traditional gender norms． There was no evidence that errors occurred more
when the misnamer was frustrated， tired or angry．
（1）How might people often feel when they were misnamed？
A． Unwanted．
B． Unhappy．
C． Confused．
D． Indifferent．
（2）What did David Rubin's research find about misnaming？
A．It is related to the way our memories work．
B．It is a possible indicator of a faulty memory．
C．It occurs mostly between kids and their friends．
D．It often causes misunderstandings among people．
（3）What did the surveys of more than 1，700 subjects find about misnaming？
A．It more often than not hurts relationships．
B．It hardly occurs across gender boundaries．
C．It is most frequently found in extended families．
D．It most often occurs within a relationship group．
（4）Why do mothers misname their children more often than fathers？
A．They suffer more frustrations．
B．They become worn out more often．
C．They communicate more with their children．
D．They generally take on more work at home．

How to Active Brain Cells
Scientists used to think that your brain stopped growing new cells once you reached
adulthood． Happily， current research shows that it isn't true! As you get older， you can
continue to grow new brain cells．
Get regular aerobic （有氧的） exercise．
Research shows that regular aerobic exercise over a long period of time can better
stimulate brain cell growth than other forms of exercise． Add aerobic activities， such as
swimming， power walking， or jogging， into your regular routine． （1）
Do stress﹣relieving activities．
Activities that reduce stress and give you a sense of wellbeing can encourage the growth
of new brain cells．（2） You can do some yoga， read your favorite book， or listen
to relaxing music．
（3）
Antioxidant﹣rich foods can prevent damage to your current brain cells and promote the
growth of new ， healthy cells ． Omega 3 fatty acids may also help improve your brain
health． Add plenty of brain﹣boosting foods into your diet， such as vegetable oils， nuts，
green tea， blueberries and fatty fish．
Maintain an active social life．
（4） It's also good for your brain． Socializing helps keep your brain cells
active， preventing some of the loss of brain function． If you can't socialize in person， reach
out to your friends over the phone or on social media．
Get plenty of good﹣quality life．
If you're an adult， try to get 7﹣9 hours of sleep each night． If you're a teen， aim for
8﹣10．

improve your sleep by going to bed and waking up at the same time every day．
A．Spending time with friends isn't just enjoyable．

12．（8 分）It is reported in the national press that a letter written by Charles Darwin in 1875 has
been returned to the Smithsonian Institution Archives （档案馆） by the FBI after being
stolen twice．
"We realized in the mid﹣1970s that it was missing，" says Effie Kapsalis， head of the
Smithsonian Institution Archives． "It was noted as missing and likely taken by an intern （实
习生）， from what the FBI is telling us． Word got out that it was missing when someone
asked to see the letter for research purposes，" and the intern put the letter back． "The intern
likely took the letter again once nobody was watching it．"
Decades passed． Finally， the FBI received a tip that the stolen document was located very
close to Washington， D．C． Their art crime team recovered the letter but were unable to press
charges because the time of limitations had ended． The FBI worked closely with the Archives
to determine that the letter was both authentic and definitely Smithsonian's property．
The letter is in fairly good condition， in spite of being out of the care of trained museum
staff for so long． "It was luckily in good shape，" says Kapsalis， "and we just have to do
some minor things in order to be able to unfold it． It has some glue on it that has colored it
slightly， but nothing that will prevent us from using it． After it is repaired， we will take
digital photos of it and that will be available online． One of our goals is to get items of high
research value or interest to the public online．"
It would now be difficult for an intern ， visitor or a thief to steal a document like
this． "Archiving practices have changed greatly since the 1970s，" says Kapsalis， "and we
keep our high value documents in a safe that I don't even have access to．"

13．（8 分）In order to help cope with the vast number of student questions in the online class，
Knowledge﹣Based Artificial Intelligence， Professor Ashok Goel of Georgia Tech developed
an artificially intelligent teaching assistant ． This online course is a core requirement of
Georgia Tech's online Master of Science in Computer Science program ． Professor Goel
already had eight teaching assistants， but that wasn't enough to handle the vast number of
daily questions from students．
Many students drop out of online courses because of the lack of teaching support． When
students feel isolated or confused and reach out with questions that go unanswered， their
motivation to continue begins to fade． Professor Goel decided to do something to remedy this
situation and his solution was to create a virtual assistant named Jill Watson， which is based
on the IBM Watson platform．
Goel and his team developed several versions of Jill Watson before releasing her to the
online forums． At first， the virtual assistant wasn't too great． But Goel and his team sourced
the online discussion forum to find all the 40，000 questions that had ever been asked since the
class was launched． Then they began to feed Jill with the questions and answers． After some
adjustment and ample time， Jill was able to answer the students' questions correctly 97% of
the time． The virtual assistant became so advanced and realistic that the students didn't know
she was a computer ． The students ， who were studying artificial intelligence ， were
interacting with the virtual assistant and couldn't tell it from a real human being． Goel didn't
inform them about Jill's true identity until April 26． The students were actually very positive
about the experience．
The goal of Professor Goel's virtual assistant next year is to take over answering 40% of
all the questions posed by students on the online forum． The name Jill Watson will， of
course， change to something else next semester． Professor Goel has a much rosier forecast
on the future of artificial intelligence than， say， Elon Musk， Stephen Hawking， Bill
Gates or Steve Wozniak．
（1）What do we learn about Knowledge﹣Based Artificial Intelligence？ C
A．It is a robot that can answer students' questions．
B．It is a high﹣tech device that revolutionizes teaching．
C．It is a course designed for students to learn online．
D．It is a computer program that aids student learning．
（2）What does the underlined word "remedy" in the paragraph 2 mean？ B
A． Boycott．
B． Improve．
C． Evaluate．
D． Corrupt．
（3）What do we learn about Jill Watson？ C
A．She was unwelcome to students at first．
B．She got along pretty well with students．
C．She turned out to be a great success．
D．She was released online as an experiment．
（4）What does Professor Goel plan to do next with Jill Watson？ A
A．Assign her to answer more of students' questions．
B．Upgrade her intelligence to the level of top scientists．
C．Launch different versions of her online．
D．Encourage students to interact with her more freely．

14．（8 分）If you were like most children， you probably got upset when your mother called you
by a brother's or sister's name． How could she not know you？ Did it mean she loved you
less？
Probably not． According to the first research to deal with this topic head﹣on， misnaming
the most familiar people in our life is a common cognitive （认知的） error that has to do
with how our memories classify and store familiar names．
The study， published online in April in the journal Memory and Cognition， found that
the "wrong" name is not random but is always fished out from the same relationship pond：
children， friends， brothers and sisters． The study did not examine the possibility of deep
psychological significance to the mistake， says psychologist David Rubin， "but it does tell
us who's in and who's out of the group．"
The study also found that within that group， misnamings occurred where the names shared
initial or internal sounds， like Jimmy and Joanie or John and Bob． Physical resemblance
between people was not a factor． Nor was gender．
The researchers conducted five separate surveys of more than 1，700 people． Some of the
surveys included only college students ； others were done with a mixed ﹣ age
population． Some asked subjects about incidents where someone close to them ﹣ family or
friend ﹣ had called them by another person's name． The other surveys asked about times
when subjects had themselves called someone close to them by the wrong name． All the
surveys found that people mixed up names within relationship groups such as grandchildren，
friends and brothers and sisters but hardly ever crossed these boundaries．
In general， the study found that undergraduates were almost as likely as old people to
make this mistake and men as likely as women． Older people and women made the mistake
slightly more often， but that may be because grandparents have more grandchildren to mix
up than parents have children ． Also ， mothers may call on their children more often than
fathers， given traditional gender norms． There was no evidence that errors occurred more
when the misnamer was frustrated， tired or angry．
（1）How might people often feel when they were misnamed？ B
A． Unwanted．
B． Unhappy．
C． Confused．
D． Indifferent．
（2）What did David Rubin's research find about misnaming？ A
A．It is related to the way our memories work．
B．It is a possible indicator of a faulty memory．
C．It occurs mostly between kids and their friends．
D．It often causes misunderstandings among people．
（3）What did the surveys of more than 1，700 subjects find about misnaming？ D
A．It more often than not hurts relationships．
B．It hardly occurs across gender boundaries．
C．It is most frequently found in extended families．
D．It most often occurs within a relationship group．
（4）Why do mothers misname their children more often than fathers？ C
A．They suffer more frustrations．
B．They become worn out more often．
C．They communicate more with their children．
D．They generally take on more work at home．
【分析】这是一篇说明文．文章主要说明了研究发现，叫错我们生活中最熟悉的人的名
字是一种常见的认知错误，与我们的记忆如何分类和存储熟悉的名字有关．文章说明了
这项研究的过程，以及一些研究结果．
【解答】（1）B． 情感态度题．根据第一段"If you were like most children， you probably
got upset when your mother called you by a brother's or sister's name．如果你像大多数孩子一
样，当你妈妈把你叫成你兄弟姐妹的名字时，你可能会不高兴．"可知当人们被叫错名时，

﹣on， misnaming the most familiar people in our life is a common cognitive error that has to
do with how our memories classify and store familiar names．根据第一项针对这一主题的研
究，叫错我们生活中最熟悉的人的名字是一种常见的认知错误，与我们的记忆如何分类
和存储熟悉的名字有关．由此可知，David Rubin 的研究发现，叫错名字与我们的记忆运
作方式有关．故选 A．
（3）D．细节理解题．根据倒数第二段中 All the surveys found that people mixed up names
within relationship groups such as grandchildren， friends and siblings but hardly ever crossed
these boundaries．可知，所有的调查都发现，人们在孙辈、朋友和兄弟姐妹等关系群体中
会混淆名字，但很少会跨越这些界限．由此可知，对 1700 多名调查对象的调查发现，叫
错名字最常发生在关系群体中．故选 D．
（4）C． 推理判断题．根据最后一段" Also， mothers may call on their children more often
than fathers， given traditional gender norms． There was no evidence that errors occurred
more when the misnamer was frustrated， tired or angry．此外，考虑到传统的性别规范，
母亲可能会比父亲更频繁地拜访孩子． 没有证据表明，当这个怪人感到沮丧、疲倦或愤
怒时，错误会发生得更多．"可知母亲比父亲更容易叫错孩子的名字是因为他们和孩子们
交流得更多．故选 C．

是瞎的，它们与袋鼠类似，在它们母亲的育婴袋里度过生命的前六个月，后六个月则抓
住母亲的背或腹部．这种动物只靠树叶生存．
【解答】（1）when．考查固定句型．一只小狗和它的主人亨利在院子里玩耍，这时一只

然……"，是固定句型．故填 when．

Last October， we have had a series of reading activities． In the first two weeks， we read

I've learned never to give up when facing with difficulties． In the afternoon of October 18，
we held a poetry contest． I recited a poem written by me and won first prize． At the end of the
month， we acted out some famous work． My classmates and I performed The Million Pound
Bank Note． To our great delightful， our performance was huge success． We both enjoyed
such reading activities， wish to read more great books in the future．
【分析】本文为记叙文．讲述去年十月我们进行的一系列的阅读活动．
【解答】Last October， we have had a series of reading activities． In the first two weeks，
we read some great books． Among these books， I like The Old Man and the Sea better，
from which I've learned never to give up when facing with difficulties ． In the afternoon of
October 18， we held a poetry contest． I recited a poem written by me and won first prize． At
the end of the month， we acted out some famous work． My classmates and I performed The
Million Pound Bank Note ． To our great delightful ， our performance was ∧ huge
success． We both enjoyed such reading activities， wish to read more great books in the future．
详解：
1．去掉 have．考查时态．句意：去年十月，我们进行了一系列的阅读活动．根据时间状
语 last October 可知，本句应用一般过去时，故去掉 have．
2．better 改为 best．考查最高级．句意：在这些书中，我最喜欢《老人与海》，从中我学
会了在遇到困难时决不放弃．根据 Among these books"在这些书中"可知，本句中比较的
范围是在三者或三者以上之间，应用副词 well 的最高级 best，故将 better 改为 best．
3．facing 改为 faced 或去掉 with．考查状语从句的省略．句意：在这些书中，我最喜欢
《老人与海》，从中我学会了在遇到困难时决不放弃．when 引导的时间状语从句中省略
了主语 I 及 be 动词，be faced with"面对、面临"，固定表达，此处应用过去分词 faced；face
可用作及物动词，后面直接带宾语，所以此处也可用现在分词形式，去掉后面介词
with．故将 facing 改为 faced 或去掉 with．
4．In 改为 On．考查介词．句意：10 月 18 日下午，我们举行了一场诗歌比赛．表示"在
具体某一天的早上、中午或晚上，通常用介词 on，故将 In 改为 On．
5．me 改为 myself．考查反身代词．句意：我朗诵了一首我自己写的诗并获得一等奖．介
词 by 的宾语与主语是同一人，应用反身代词 myself 作宾语，故将 me 改为 myself．
6．work 改为 works．考查名词的数．句意：月底，我们表演了一些著名的作品．work
指"作品、著作"时是可数名词，some 修饰可数名词的复数形式，故将 work 改为
works．
7．delightful 改为 delight．考查名词．句意：令我们非常高兴的是，我们的表演非常成
功．"To one's+情感类名词"表示"使/令某人……的是"，to 是介词，接名词作宾语，to our
great delight"令我们非常高兴的是"，故将 delightful 改为 delight．
8．huge 前加 a．考查冠词．句意：令我们非常高兴的是，我们的表演非常成功．此处 success
表示"一件成功的事"，是抽象名词具体化，前面需加不定冠词 a，故在 huge 前加 a．
9．both 改为 all．考查不定代词．句意：我们都很喜欢这样的阅读活动，希望将来能读
到更多的好书．both 指"两者都"，此处指 My classmates and I，应该表达"三者或三者以上
都"，应用不定代词 all，故将 both 改为 all．
10．wish 改为 wishing．考查现在分词．句意：我们都很喜欢这样的阅读活动，希望将来
能读到更多的好书．本句谓语动词是 enjoy，此处应用非谓语动词作伴随情况状语，动词
wish 与主语 we 之间构成主动关系，应用现在分词形式，故将 wish 改为 wishing．
【点评】本题考查短文改错．要求熟练掌握重要词类的功能用法，熟悉相关词类的容易
考点，注意语法知识点考查，如人称代词，从句的引导词，名词单复数，对全文时态的
把握，固定词语搭配以及习惯用语等情况．
