21．（6分）More than 10 million Chinese cultural relics have been lost overseas, lots of which were stolen and illegally shipped out of China during the times of war before 1949. About 1.67mill ion pieces are housed no more than 200 museums in4 7 countries, which accounts for 10 percent of all lost Chinese cultural relics, and the rest are in the hands of private collectors.
Most of these treasures are owned by museums or private collectors in the United States, Europe, Japan and Southeast Asian countries. There are more than 23, 000 pieces in the British Museum, most of which were stolen or bought for pennies more than 100 years ago.
The major method to recover these national treasures was to buy them back. In some cases, private collectors donated the relics to the government. Also the government can turn lo official channels in) to demand the return of relics.
In 2003, a priceless bronze pig's head dating from the Qing Dynasty was returned to its home in Beijing after it was removed by the Anglo-French Allied Army over 140 years ago. Macao entrepreneur(企业家)Stanley Ho donated 6 million yuan to buy it back from a US art collector and then donated it to the Poly Art Museum in Beijing.
Although buying-back is the most feasible way to recover the lost treasures, limited funding is always a bigheadache.
In recent years, the Chinese government has improved efforts to recover the precious cultural relics lost overseas. It has started a national project on the recovery of the treasures and has set up a database(数据库) collecting relevant information. It has signed several international agreements with many countries on this matter, and is also looking for international cooperation to recover the relics by working closely with several international organizations.

23．（8分）A business school in Paris will soon begin using artificial intelligence and facial analysis to determine whether students are paying attention in class. The software, called Nestor, is used in two online classes at the ESG business school beginning in September.
The idea, according to LCA founder Marcel Saucet, is to use the data that Nestor collects to improve the performance of both students and professors. The software uses students webcams（网络摄像机）to analyze eye movements and facial expressions and determine whether students are paying attention to a video lecture. It then formulates quizzes based on the content covered during moments of inattentiveness. Professors would also be able to identify moments when students’ attention declined, which could help to improve their teaching, Saucet says.
Advocates for AI in education say that the software is actually unable to teach a course, but the technology could be used as a digital tutor that would adapt to a student’s individual needs, and help develop more effective studying habits. Such software could also help teachers by providing feedback on the effectiveness of their teaching, advocates say.
Saucet says Nestor won’t store any of the video footage it gets and that his company has no plans to sell any other data the software collects. In addition to facial recognition and analysis, the software can integrate（合并）with students’ calendars to suggest possible study times, and track their online behavior to pick up on patterns.
Rose Luckin, a professor at the University College London Knowledge Lab, says AI could unlock the “black box of learning” by providing information on how and when learning happens. Luckin says a program like Nestor could be useful for students who take classes remotely, since “there isn’t a human there watching them.” And while some are concerned that AI may one day replace teachers, Luckin sees the technology more as an assistant, rather than a replacement. Saucet agrees. “Human contact is not going to go away,” he says. “There will always be professors.”
1、How does Nestor work to find out when students aren’t paying attention?
A．By collecting the data of students’ performance in different classes.
B．By collecting the students’ grades in the quizzes.
C．By shooting and analyzing students’ eye movements and facial expressions..
D．By identifying moments when students’ attention declined.
2、Which is the benefit of AI education?
A．It could be used exactly to replace a tutor.
B．It helps student to develop more effective studying habits.
C．The software is able to satisfy the requirement of a course.
D．It could help teachers to give feedback on students performance..
3、How does Nestor deal with the information collected from students?
A．Nestor will use it to suggest possible study time to students’ schedule.
B．It won’t store any video footage but facial expression.
C．The company hasn’t expected to make profits by selling the data to other corporations..
D．Nestor will use it to keep track online of students’ behavior and punish them.
4、What is Rose Luckin’s attitude towards the replacement of teachers with AI?
A．Objective.
B．Approving.
C．Indifferent.
D．Opposed.
24．（8分）When I was 5, my father worked the night shift as a nurse in a hospital. He was always carrying his stethoscope (听诊器) so naturally, so I called him “Dr. Saldivar” while I pressed his stethoscope against his chest. But my father, as a humble man, was always correcting me: “I am not a doctor, son, but you can be one.” I grew up feeling like I had no limits because of moments like this, which has helped me take risks personally and professionally in spite of the hardships I had to endure.
Being born to Mexican immigrants meant that my parents had to work very hard to provide for my family and I had to learn to struggle through school paperwork on my own, because my parents' English was limited and they couldn't always be there motivating us through the process. If I wanted to succeed academically, my perseverance, and strength would be tested.
Perseverance, strength and good education are the gateway to success. And this is especially true when you look at the obstacles that Latinos have to overcome to succeed in public schools. For instance, while the national high school dropout (辍学) rate has decreased significantly, we still have the highest dropout rate in the country. We are more likely to live in poverty and attend racially separated schools. These issues create many other problems for Latinos.
To help relieve my family burden, I found my first job when I was 14 at a local hotel. Despite the long hours on my new job, I worked hard. Meanwhile, I continually stressed the importance of getting a respectable education and did everything possible to get one step closer to making my dream a reality.
Nearly a decade later, I became the first in my family to graduate from the University of Southern California. Knowing the social, economic, and political struggles that a community faces, I began to pursue journalism to give the disadvantaged minorities a voice.
1、What inspired the author when he was a child?
A．His curiosity about the stethoscope. B．A nurse in his father's hospital.
C．The encouraging words from his father. D．The hardships he suffered.
2、The example in the third paragraph given by the author suggests ________.
A．more Latinos are receiving higher education in America
B．racial separation has long been forbidden in America
C．American education system is better constructed
D．Latino immigrants are still facing many problems
3、The author chose to become a journalist, hoping to ________.
A．speak for the disadvantaged Latinos B．enjoy a different life
C．show his success as a Latino D．repay the sacrifice his parents made
4、What can we learn from the author’s experience?
A．Immigration is an approach to personal success.
B．American Dream is difficult for the Latinos to achieve.
C．Disadvantaged Latinos are still facing many challenges.
D．Good education is a way to successful life.
