第二部分 阅读理解（满分40分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

21．（6分） Endless queues and long waits at the ticket inspection desks at

China’s major train stations were signature of the Spring Festival travel rush before this

year. Every year, as the country’s biggest national holiday unfolded a huge flow of

travelers would leave staff at the check-in desks facing a dilemma.

But with the installment (安装) of artificial intelligence (AI) in dozens of train

stations this year, including a facial recognition system which is able to process

pasnger identification within five conds and therefore speed up the waiting process,

busy scenes started to become something of the past.

When a pasnger approaches the camera inside the facial recognition system at the

station, it scans his face and then quickly compares it with the photograph shown on his

identification card in real time. If the information matches, the barrier gates will open

and allow the pasnger to go through.

Such u of facial recognition technology is in line with discussions heard at the

recent two ssions meeting, a key annual political event, which focud on the

widespread application of a curity network named Tianwang (“Sky Net” in English)

currently being ud by China’s public curity department.

The network, according to reports by the People Daily, has the potential to

recognize the facial features of anyone in the world and match them on the spot with

photographs on a databa of criminal suspects. In fact, it can analyze photographic

identity so quickly that it can scan every single Chine face on the planet in just one

cond, and it would only take two conds to scan every face in the world, with an

accuracy rate of up to 99.8 percent.

Tho are just two examples that highlight the development of Chine visual AI

technology, which industry insiders predict could contribute to powerful growth in the

global technology ctor this year.

1、What’s the author’s purpo in writing the first paragraph?

A．To introduce the following topic of the passage.

B．To describe the Spring Festival.

C．To inform readers of the development of China.

D．To explain the dilemma of the staff.

2、What’s the solution to the Spring Festival travel rush?

A．Using artificial intelligence.

B．Opening more barrier gates.

C．Limiting the number of pasngers.

D．Increasing more staff at the check-in desks.

3、What can we know about facial recognition technology?

A．Its application leads to a heated discussion.

B．Its application is uless to policemen.

C．Its operating speed is not yet high enough.

D．Its accuracy rate is very high.

4、What’s the author’s attitude towards Chine visual AI technology?

A．Depresd.

C．Doubtful.

B．Positive.

D．Indifferent.

22．（8分） Our society is generally becoming one of giant enterpris directed

by a bureaucratic management in which man becomes a small, well-oiled cog in the

machinery. The oiling is done with higher wages, Nell-ventilated factories and piped

music, and by psychologists and “human-relations” experts; yet all this oiling does not

alter the fact that man has become powerless, that he is bored with it. In fact, the blue

and the white-collar workers have become economic puppets who dance to the tune of

automated machines and bureaucratic management.

The worker and employee are anxious, not only becau they might find themlves

out of a job; they are anxious also becau they are unable to acquire any real

satisfaction of interesting life. They live and die without ever having confronted the

fundamental realities of human existence as emotionally and intellectually independent

and productive human beings.

Tho higher up on the social ladder are no less anxious. Their lives are no less

empty than tho of their subordinates. They are even more incure in some respects.

They are in a highly competitive race. To be promoted or to fall behind is not a matter of

salary but even more a matter of lf-respect. When they apply for their first job, they

are tested for intelligence as well as for the right mixture of obedience and independence.

From the moment on they are tested again and again – by the psychologists, for whom

testing is a big business, and by their superiors, who judge their behavior, sociability,

capacity to get along, etc. This constant need to prove that one is as good as or better

than one’s fellow competitor creates constant anxiety and stress, the very caus of

unhappiness and illness.

Am I suggesting that we should return to the preindustrial mode of production or

to nineteenth-century “free enterpri” capitalism? Certainly not. Problems are never

solved by returning to a stage which one has already outgrown. I suggest transforming

our social system form a bureaucratically managed industrialism in which maximal

production and consumption ends in a humanist industrialism in which man and full

development of his potentialities – tho of all love and of reason – are the aims of social

arrangements. Production and consumption should rve only as means to this end, and

should be prevented from ruling man.

1、By “a well-oiled cog in the machinery” the author intends to deliver the idea that man

is ______.

A．a necessary part though the function of each is insignificant

B．working in complete harmony with the rest of society

C．an unimportant part in comparison with the rest of society

D．a irreplaceable component of society when working smoothly

2、The real cau of the anxiety of the workers and employees is that ________.

A．they are more likely to lo their prent work

B．they have no real satisfaction or interest in life

C．they are confronted with the fundamental realities

D．they are deprived of individuality and independence

3、From the passage we can conclude that real happiness of life belongs to tho

_______.

A．who always live at the bottom of the society

B．who tend to be higher up in their social status

C．who prove better than their fellow competitors

D．who could dip far away from this competitive world

4、The author’s attitude towards industrialism might best be summarized as one of

_______.

A．approval B．dissatisfaction C．suspicion D．nsibility

Kindergarten outside? Yes，indeed. It’s part of a growing worldwide

23．（8分）trend toward outdoor education. The schools are called Forest Kindergartens.

Now the numbers are small in the U. S.，but the idea is well established in Europe,

with schools in Scotland, England, and Switzerland. By far most of such schools are in

Germany, which has more than 400W aldkindergartens.

Children attending such particular school enjoy a good amount of outdoor

education each day,rain or shine. Some lessons are focud on nature

； others are

academic topics delivered in a natural tting. In all cas，students are active — not

sitting at desks or on mats on the floor but walking, running, jumping, solving problems

like how to get the mud off the bottoms of their shoes before their parents find out.

At the forest kindergartens, students learn science by obrving and doing it,

learn math by applying it to the natural world around them，learn letters and words by

putting them together using sights and sounds. The children learn to make comparisons

using natural things like apples and rocks. They develop an appreciation for animals

and plants in their natural environment — not just by looking at pictures in a book or

on a computer screen.

Some of the science activities involve teamwork, like explaining the best way to

move a heavy object, showing how a lever(杠杆)works. In other ssions，teachers

encourage students to develop their motor skills by building wooden tools such as

hammers and knives.

The students also learn how to get along with one another, individually and in a

group. They also develop healthy levels of lf-confidence,just from being able to do the

everyday activities that the school offers.

In a time when so many children are being classified as obe becau of long time

watching television and playing video games, the outdoor schools help children learn

just as much, if not more，from opening their eyes to the world around them.

1、Which of the following country has the most Forest Kindergartens?

A．The U. S. B．Germany. C．The U. K. D．Switzerland

2、What is the purpo of the fourth paragraph?

A．To analy how children learn socially.

B．To compare different teaching approaches.

C．To show how children learn academically.

D．To describe how active children are in the class.

3、Which may be en in Forest Kindergartens?

A．Children are doing an experiment with chemicals.

B．Teachers are writing something on the blackboard.

C．Smart phones are widely ud to help children learn.

D．Everything in nature is likely to be applied to teaching.

4、What is the author’s attitude to Forest Kindergartens?

A．Negative. B．Doubtful. C．Positive. D．Uncertain.

29、Society produces a lot of rubbish, such as leftover food, waste paper, plastic bottles

and batteries every day. It has become a big headache in every city. How to solve this

problem? I think rubbish classification is a good way of dealing with it.

Firstly, rubbish classification can reduce the amount of rubbish and the rubbish

pollution to the environment. What is more, it can recycle resources, which will do good

to our environmental protection.

Since rubbish classification has so many advantages, our government should take

effective measures and immediate actions. Different dustbins should be placed in public

places so that residents can leave their sorted rubbish in them.
