Aesha Ash is a ballet dancer who began The Swan Dreams Project in 2011. It is a program
designed to bring ballet to girls of color in her community. Aesha Ash is one of the few women of
color to ever grace the stages of the School of American Ballet in New York City. She wants to
expose her community to more positive images of women of color through the use of ballet. She
wants to show the world that beauty and grace are not defined by status or race.
Aesha grew up in the inner city of Rochester, New York, where crime, gun violence and
poverty were among the biggest threats to the community. For her, that’s normal. That’s just life in
the neighborhood, but what she remembers most is the dance studio She started dancing at the age
of five. A teacher mentioned to her mother that she had some promise in ballet, and that it would
be difficult for her, as a woman of color, to enter the ballet world. But the hardship she faced was
the very thing that pushed her to pursue a career in ballet.
And there’s so much negative stereotypes (刻板印象) and misunderstanding of who they are
in the media. Through the use of imagery and her career as a ballet dancer, she challenges
stereotypes that exist for women of color, particularly those from inner-city communities.
“It’s important that our girls see that side of themselves because for many kids it’s hard to be
what you can’t see. I hadn’t seen a black ballet dancer before I decided that was what I wanted to
be. It was really important for me to be in my environment displaying that because this is where
I’m from. It was always beyond ballet,” Aesha Ash stated.
4.Why did Aesha start The Swan Dreams Project
A. To promote the images of females of color by ballet.
B. To expose her community to a world of women of color.
C. To grace the stages of the School of American Ballet.
D. To show the world that beauty and grace are defined by status.

Race walking shares many fitness benefits with running, research shows, while most likely
contributing to fewer injuries. It does, however, have its own problem.
Race walkers are conditioned athletes. The longest track and field event at the Summer
Olympics is the 50-kilometre race walk, which is about five miles longer than the marathon. But
the sport’s rules require that a race walker’s knees stay straight through most of the leg swing and
one foot remain in contact with the ground at all times. It’s this strange form that makes race
walking such an attractive activity, however, says Jaclyn Norberg, an assistant professor of
exercise science at Salem State University.
Like running, race walking is physically demanding, she says. According to most calculations,
race walkers moving at a pace of six miles per hour would burn about 800 calories (卡路里) per
hour, which is approximately twice as many as they would burn walking, although fewer than
running, which would probably burn about 1,000 or more calories per hour.
However, race walking does not pound the body as much as running does, Dr Norberg says.
According to her research, runners hit the ground with as much as four times their body weight per
step, while race walkers, who do not leave the ground, create only about 1.4 times their body
weight with each step.
As a result, she says, some of the injuries associated with running, such as runner’s knee, are
uncommon among race walkers. But the sport’s strange form does place considerable stress on the
ankles and hips, so people with a history of such injuries might want to be cautious in adopting the
sport. In fact, anyone wishing to try race walking should probably first consult a coach or
experienced racer to learn proper technique, she says. It takes some practice.
8. Which is the best title of the passage
A. Race walking
B. Conditions of race
C. How tough race walking is
D. How to race like walking
9. Why is the length of race walk mentioned in paragraph 2
A. To tell readers how strange it is.
B. To inform athletes of the special rules.
C. To prove that race walkers are conditioned athletes.
D. To show that race walking is physically demanding.
10. What disadvantage does race walking have
A. It is more likely to injure the chest.
B. It causes stress on the ankles and hips.
C. It’s less popular with young people.
D. It causes knee injuries easily.
11. What is author’s attitude to race walking
A. Indifferent. B. Doubtful. C. Nervous. D. Objective.
D
Ai-Da sits behind a desk, a paintbrush in her hand. She looks up at the person posing for her,
and then back down as she applies another drop of paint onto the canvas(画布). A lifelike portrait
{#{QQABZYQUoggAAhAAAAgCQwUoCAAQkACACAoOAEAEsAAByQFABAA=}#}
is taking shape. If you didn't know a robot produced it, this portrait could pass as the work of a
human artist.
Ai-Da produces portraits of sitting subjects using a robotic hand attached to her lifelike figure.
She's also able to talk, giving detailed answers to questions about her artistic process and attitudes
towards technology. She even gave a TEDx talk titled “The Intersection of Art and AI”in Oxford
several years ago. Ai-Da's creators have also been experimenting with having her write and
perform her own poetry. But how are we to interpret Ai-Da's output Should we consider her
paintings and poetry original and creative Are these works actually art
What discussions about AI and creativity often overlook is the fact that creativity isn't an
absolute quality that can be defined, measured and reproduced objectively. When we describe an
object—for instance, a child's drawing—as being creative, we project our own assumptions about
culture onto it. Indeed, art never exists in isolation. It always needs someone to give it“art” status.
And the criteria for whether you think something is art are formed by both your expectations and
broader cultural conceptions.
If we extend this line of thinking to AI, it follows that no AI application or robot can
objectively be “creative”. It is always we—humans—that decide whether works created by AI are
art.
Some may see robot-produced paintings as something coming from creative computers,
while others may be skeptical, given the fact that robots act on clear human instructions. In any
case, attribution(归属) of creativity never depends on technical arrangement alone—no computer
is objectively creative. Rather, the attribution of computational creativity is largely inspired by
contexts of reception. Through particular social information, some people are inspired to think of
AI output as art, systems as artists, and computers as creators. Therefore, as with any piece of
art, your appreciation of AI output ultimately depends on your own interpretation.
12. What can we learn about Ai-Da
A. She has a complex many-sided personality.
B. She beat others in the debate on art and AI.
C. She is capable of drawing high-quality portraits.
D. She can write poems without being programmed.
13. What fact do discussions about AI and creativity often ignore
A. That art is content-based.
B. That art can take many forms.
C. That creativity is closely related to cultures.
D. That creativity is often measured subjectively.
14. What idea does the author want to convey in the last paragraph
A. Every coin has two sides. B. Great minds think alike.
C. Four eyes see more than two. D. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
15. What would be the best title for the text
A. Is AI-created Art Really Art
B. Will People Accept AI Artists
C. Can We Use AI to Create Portraits
D. Do We Need to Improve AI's Creative

Benefits of Sports
Doing sports is a physical, mental and social adventure. It's a great way for children to take a
break from studies and release extra energy. It also helps them lead fuller and happier lives as
regular sports have been proven beneficial to overall well-being.
The physical benefits of doing sports are probably the most obvious. Regardless of your
fitness level when you start playing sports, you'll notice an increase in your overall fitness once
you're involved. 16. ________. Basketball players focus on strength training; football players
work on speed while track athletes train through longer runs. The training process helps promote
physical fitness and performances in competitions.
17. ________. Playing sports contributes to mental health, helping to increase confidence and
self-worth. A pat on the back, a high five(举手击掌 ) from a teammate, or a handshake after a
match really boosts a child's confidence. Words of praise and encouragement from the coach,
parents and other players raise the self-worth. 18. ________. So after a game, it's a better idea to
ask “Did you enjoy the game ” rather than “Did you win ”
Children who participate in sports might also benefit from the social aspect, feeling part of a
group, building up responsibility and leadership. 19. ________. Teamwork involves both being
dependable as a teammate and learning to rely on your teammates to achieve a positive outcome.
Teamwork breeds responsibility and challenges you to be responsible for your actions. Being part
of a team gives you an opportunity to be a leader.

practice schedule. As a student-athlete, you need to balance studies and athletics. 20.

第三部分 读后续写（满分 25 分）
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。
Mai Lin wasn’t doing well enough at school, or at least she wasn’t satisfied with herself. She
wished she could do better.
“Let’s review the material we learned in the last unit,” the history teacher said. “Who can tell
us what caused the War of 1812 ” Mai Lin sat at her desk, staring ahead. She hoped the teacher
wouldn’t call her name. They hadn’t studied the War of 1812 at her old school and she didn’t
know the answer.
“Alison ” the teacher asked instead. Oh, perfect, Mai Lin thought. Of course Alison would
have the answer. She seemed to have all the answers. Alison was the most popular girl in school—
always surrounded by lots of boys, best friends, and others. She was like a brilliant sun.
Mai Lin hadn’t made one or two friends of her own so far. Her old school was small and
unimpressive, but a shy person like Mai Lin had a chance there. This new school, however,
seemed as big as an airport to Mai Lin, and it seemed very hard to get around in it. She still got
lost sometimes in the school.
Mai Lin frowned (皱眉) as Alison answered the teacher’s question. Alison probably never got
lost, Mai Lin thought to herself. You could probably put Alison down in the middle of a desert,
and within five minutes she’d be able to tell you the best way to get home.
History class finally ended, and Mai Lin headed for the gym. The class had been playing
basketball. Alison, who was as tall and thin and attractive as a tree, was very good at it. Beside her,
Mai Lin felt like a very small and foolish ant. Today, however, the gym teacher pointed to a thick
rope (绳索 ) hanging from the ceiling and said, “Everybody! You’re going to climb this rope
today. ”
注意:
1. 续写词数应为 150左右;

Hearing the teacher’s words, Mai Lin smiled. ______________________________________

One possible version:
Paragraph 1:
Hearing the teacher’s words, Mai Lin smiled. She knew what was coming. They’d done lots of physical fitness training at her old school and she was quite good at rope climbing. “Who’s first ” the teacher asked. “Alison ” To Mai Lin’s surprise, Alison turned as pale as the moon and shook her head. “She’s scared,” Mai Lin thought. “Perfect Alison was scared.” Suddenly Mai Lin heard her own voice saying, “I’ll do it.” Alison looked up at Mai Lin in great surprise, and all the other classmates seemed surprised, too. The teacher nodded and told Mai Lin to climb.
Paragraph 2:
Mai Lin stepped forward and got close to the rope. She appeared calm but was extremely excited. She climbed the rope very fast and reached the ceiling within what seemed a few seconds, effortlessly. As she reached the top, she glanced down at her fellow students below. Now it was Alison who appeared like a small ant. She saw Alison looking up, eyes wide with admiration. Mai Lin clung to the top of the rope for a moment longer and then headed down to join the class. Once she got on the ground, everybody cheered. Mai Lin knew she would be different from that day on.
