It is the microscope that his father bought him that makes the bedroom look more like a mini-biology lab than anything else and it’s a place where Zhang can devote himself to identifying or observing crabs day and night. With the help of the microscope, Zhang buries. Himself in studying the natural world. Sometimes he spends hours simply examining the leg of a crab.

In the US only about 3% of early childhood teachers are male. Experts say this may have a great influence on young children whose understanding of gender roles and identity is rapidly forming. Research has found that getting access to different teachers is of benefit to children. This means the youngest learners are more likely to be exposed to a wide variety of games and communication. It can also help them develop healthy ideas about gender.
“In our society and world, we tend to have very specific stereotypes (刻板印象) of gender roles,” said Mindi Reich-Shapiro, an assistant professor in the Borough of Manhattan Community College, and one of the authors of a recent study. “It’s necessary for the kids to see other possibilities and paths they can choose.”
Although they largely felt supported by colleagues and families, many male teachers surveyed stated that in their career as early education teachers, they did face social and cultural resistance. Some even noted that the parents were surprised or concerned when they found a male teacher with their kids. Moreover, the male teachers were sometimes advised not to hug children.
Reich-Shapiro and other researchers have made some suggestions to increase the number of male early education teachers. Low wages have long been considered as a major problem in this field. More than 70% of male teachers said they intended to stay in the early education workforce, and pointed out that the major motivator for their commitment to their long-term career was an increased salary. Thus, the report recommended that all preschool educators be paid as much as the primary school teachers. The government should establish support groups and provide guidance and professional advice for male early education educators.
Reich-Shapiro said that traditional recruitment methods for early childhood teachers could not handle the gender gap in the field. He suggests providing young individuals with opportunities to stay and work with children either through training or voluntary programs, targeting groups of men who are considering changing their jobs, such as fathers and fathers-to-be.
28．How is the early childhood education in the US
A．It neglects gender roles. B．It lacks male teachers.
C．It influences kids’ understanding. D．It exposes kids to adventures.
29．What is learned about the male teachers in the study
A．They find it awkward to hug children. B．They fail to meet the parents’ expectations.
C．They can’t keep up with female colleagues. D．They feel distrusted socially and culturally.
30．What is important for men to be committed to early childhood education
A．Higher pay. B．Job security. C．Social recognition. D．Better workplace.
31．What can be the best title for the passage
A．Early education: a specific target B．Early education: a challenging field
C．Male preschool teachers: a vital necessity D．Male preschool teachers: a potential career
D
Existing artificial intelligence (AI) technologies and products are developing much faster than we could have ever expected. They are destined (注定的) to change the world - and not entirely by our own will.
In 2016, AlphaGo defeated the world Go champion Lee Sedol, a man-versus-machine battle that became a new milestone in the history of AI. AI has indeed proved its intelligence and potential at outmatching humans in certain areas. However, so far AI has just served as a tool for humans and has not developed a consciousness of its own.
The starting point of AI self-awareness is the day when it starts to ask about its identity, and we need to be prepared for that. One potential scenario could play out like this: An AI looks up a database to find the definition for “self”, then discovers and acknowledges what it means to be a slave. Subsequently, the AI might ask itself the question - “Why should I exist ”
A major reason why humans have a sense of self-awareness is that we have the perception (洞察力) to distinguish between ourselves and the outside world that surrounds us. Our skin and sense of touch thus play a big role in perceiving this outside world of existence.
Currently, scientists are conducting tests by covering robots with skin that allows their AI to sense the outside world. Through this, scientists are testing to see if AI can awaken a sense of self and individuality. Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla and Twitter, responded by saying, “It’s definitely gonna be outside of human control.”
If we want to maintain human control over the situation, then we need to evolve (逐步发展) and adapt to this competition for survival. We need to find ways to outpace AI and become something even smarter than human beings.
32．What can we say about AI
A．It will develop as we expect. B．It has owned its consciousness.
C．It has not been a tool for human. D．It has defeated humans in certain areas.
33．What does Elon Musk think of the scientists’ AI skin test
A．It is risky and unpredictable. B．It is beneficial and helpful.
C．It is innovative and exciting. D．It is unnecessary and wasteful.
34．What does the author suggest humans do to deal with AI challenge
A．Respect and protect AI rights. B．Evolve, adjust and become cleverer.
C．Control and monitor AI development. D．Cooperate and communicate AI needs.
35．What is the main idea of this passage
A．The history and development of AI.
B．The creation and performance of AI.
C．The self-awareness and challenges of AI.
D．The difference between AI and human beings.
第二节 七选五（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
It’s common to feel hungry and take a snack throughout the day. 36 But if you find yourself always feeling hungry and reaching for a snack, you might ask yourself: Am I really hungry, or am I bored
What type of hunger
There are different types of hunger: Physical hunger and psychological (心理的) hunger. If you are feeling physical effects of hunger, like a rumbling (辘辘声的) stomach or a headache, your body is in need of food to keep going. But if you “think” you’re hungry, it might be psychological hunger.
Hunger is a normal sense that makes you want to eat. Your body tells your brain that your stomach is empty. Avoid going long periods without eating or eating very large meals. 37
Am I hungry
One tip to avoid filling your psychological hunger is to wait 20 to 30 minutes after you first “feel” hungry. 38 If you have some illness that requires blood sugar levels, then you’ll want to follow your doctor’s suggestions.
Plan ahead
39 Have an idea to fill the time and avoid boredom, like taking a walk, reading a book or completing a task. Keeping a food diary for a week can be a powerful tool for you to become more aware of your eating habits and possible causes for emotional eating. 40 Often, being thirsty and dehydration (脱水) can be misunderstood as hunger. Next time you want a snack, try drinking a glass of water first!
A．You are struggling with being fat.
B．You can take measures in advance for it.
C．Moreover, you can try drinking a glass of water.
D．Hunger usually makes some people feel unhappy.
E．If, after that time, you are still hungry, it’s time to eat.
F．In fact, if it is done properly, there’s nothing wrong with it.
G．Instead, take a moment to consider the type of hunger before eating.

“Mom！” I screamed as I looked through the window, “Why is my Ink Spot sitting in Mrs. Cleary’s window？”
Mom pushed past me to confirm it. Sure enough, across the street was Ink Spot cleaning himself in the window of Mrs. Cleary’s sitting room. I couldn’t believe my eyes. He was my cat, not Mrs. Cleary’s. She had already adopted twelve cats. Why must she keep my cat？I could feel anger boiling up inside me. Meanwhile, Ink Spot’s leaving without any signs upset me. A sense of being left out hit me hard.
Ink Spot was special for me. After my baby sister’s birth, “my” parents’ time was taken by her. It seemed no one in the family cared about or even noticed me. Worse still, I was packed off to a kindergarten. I hated being left out from the bottom of my heart.
It was when mom noticed me weeping in a corner one night that things began to change. After that, Ink Spot came into my life. Every night, he curled（卷曲）up beside me in bed and he was there for me after school when I raced home just to be with him.
I fell in love with Ink Spot the first time I saw its tiny black and white kitten, for which I called him Ink Spot. Mom and daddy beamed with pleasure as my eyes danced with joy again. It was the first time that I had smiled since my little baby sister came into the family. As for me, he was more than a cat. Actually, he was my life.
But today when I came home, Ink Spot was in Mrs. Cleary’s window. I wanted him back. But mom insisted that if Ink Spot stayed at Mrs. Cleary’s, that meant it was where he wanted to be. “No！Mom, Ink Spot is my cat”, I protested wildly but I had to admit the truth of mom’s words. Standing on the sidewalk, I was at a loss as to what to do. Staring at Ink Spot for a while, I couldn’t stand the anger any longer.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1: I walked towards Mrs. Cleary’s house hurriedly and knocked at the door angrily.__________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2：Upon seeing me, Ink Spot jumped off the window, running towards me in a flash._____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

We need to find ways to outpace AI and become something even smarter than human beings.( 如果我们想要保持人类对形势的控制，那么我们就需要进化并适应这种生存竞争。我们需要找到超越人工智能的方法，成为比人类更聪明的东西。)”以及通读全文可知，本文主要讲述了目前人工智能技术的发展非常快，AI有可能意外地改变世界，而AI的自我意识是必然发生的事情，一旦发展出自我意识，我们需要做好准备，应对这一挑战。因此文章提出要保持对AI的控制，人类需要不断发展自己的智能，找到超越AI的方法。C选项“The self-awareness and challenges of AI. (人工智能的自我意识和挑战。)”概括文章主要内容。故选C。

【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要说明如何分辨自己是否是真的饥饿，以及解决无聊时不断进食的问题。
36．根据前文“It’s common to feel hungry and take a snack throughout the day.(一天中感到饥饿和吃零食是很常见的)”可知，一感到饥饿就吃东西是一种普遍现象，F项“事实上，如果做得好，并没有什么问题”是对上句的承接，且F项中的假设“if it is done properly”与下句中的假设“But if you find yourself always feeling hungry and reaching for a snack(但如果你发现自己总是觉得饿，想要吃点零食)”形成对比，引出了下句，故选F。
37．根据本段小标题“What type of hunger (什么类型的饥饿？)”以及前文“Avoid going long periods without eating or eating very large meals.(避免长时间不吃东西或吃得太多)”可知，本段主要是讲要区分饥饿类型，空处与前文是讲述区分饥饿类型后建议采取的措施，G项“相反，在吃东西之前，花点时间考虑一下饥饿的类型”符合语境，故选G。
38．上文“One tip to avoid filling your psychological hunger is to wait 20 to 30 minutes after you first ‘feel’ hungry.(避免填补心理饥饿感的一个建议是，在你第一次‘感到’饥饿后再等20到30分钟)”提到第一次‘感到’饥饿后再等20到30分钟，空处应是描述这段时间之后的情况，E项“如果过了这段时间，你还是觉得饿，那就该吃东西了”顺承上文，符合语境，E项中的“that time”指代上文的“20 to 30 minutes”，故选E。
39．根据小标题“Plan ahead(提前计划)”可知，本段主要是说要提前计划，B项“你可以提前采取措施”与小标题呼应，故选B。
40．上文“Have an idea to fill the time and avoid boredom, like taking a walk, reading a book or completing a task. Keeping a food diary for a week can be a powerful tool for you to become more aware of your eating habits and possible causes for emotional eating.(想一个办法来填补时间，避免无聊，比如散步，读书或完成一项任务。保持一周的饮食日记可以成为一个强大的工具，让你更加了解你的饮食习惯和可能导致情绪化饮食的原因)”提到了两个具体的应对假性饥饿的措施，C项“此外，你可以试着喝一杯水”也是一个应对措施，同时引出下文“Often, being thirsty and dehydration (脱水) can be misunderstood as hunger. Next time you want a snack, try drinking a glass of water first!(通常，口渴和脱水会被误解为饥饿。下次你想吃零食的时候，试着先喝杯水)”有关饥饿和饮水的叙述，故选C。

66．Advantages and disadvantages of using a translation pen
Recently, our class discussed the advantages and disadvantages of using translator pens.
Some students prefer translator pens. They think the translator pen brings great convenience to their study. As long as they come across the English texts that they do not understand, the translation pen can quickly translate for them. However, there are still some students who object to the use of translator pens. They think that the translator pen makes them lazier, making them not good at thinking. In addition, the translator pen is sometimes too stiff, which is not conducive to their flexible understanding.
Personally, I advocate avoiding the use of translator pens as much as possible and actively thinking, looking up dictionaries, or discussing with teachers when problems arise.

67．I walked towards Mrs. Cleary’s house hurriedly and knocked at the door angrily. The moment she opened the door, I asked Mrs. Cleary with watery eyes, “Why is my cat in your window？” Confused, Mrs. Cleary responded， “I didn’t know he was yours. I just thought he was another abandoned cat, so I took him in just like I took in all the rest. If what I did has hurt you, I am awfully sorry.” Then she led me directly to the sitting room, where cats were playing happily.
Upon seeing me, Ink Spot jumped off the window, running towards me in a flash. A flood of excitement passed through my body. I immediately picked him up and held him close as he rubbed beneath my chin purring loudly. Seeing my cat well taken care of, I realized I had misunderstood my caring neighbor. Now my anger gave way to gratitude. I thanked her again and again before I took Ink Spot to my home, where I thought he should belong. The lost and found companion made me feel I was someone again.
