18、rvice. B I used to believe that only words could catch the essence(本质) of the human soul. The literary works contained such distinct stories that they shaped the way we saw the world. Words were what composed the questions we sought to uncover and the answers to those questions themselves. Words
19、 were everything. That belief changed. In an ordinary math class, my teacher posed a simple question: What's 0. 99 rounded to the nearest whole number? Easy. When rounded to the nearest whole number, 0. 99=1. Somehow, I thought even though 0. 99 is only 0. 0 1 away from 1, there's still a 0. 01
20、 difference. That means even if two things are only a little different, they are still different, so doesn't that make them completely different? My teacher answered my question by presenting another equation(等式): 1= 0. 9, which could also be expressed as 1=0. 99999… repeating itself with
21、out ever ending. There was something mysterious but attractive about the equation. The left side was unchangeable, objective: it contained a number that ended. On the right was something endless, number repeating itself limitless times. Yet, somehow, these two opposed things were connected by an
22、equal sign. Lying in bed, I thought about how much the equation paralleled our existence. The left side of the equation represents that sometimes life itself is so unchangeable and so clear. The concrete, whole number of the day when you were born and the day when you would die. But then there is
23、 that gap in between life and death. The right side means a time and space full of limitless possibilities, and endless opportunities into the open future. So that's what life is. Objective but imaginative. Unchangeable but limitless. Life is an equation with two sides that balances itself out. S
24、till, we can't ever truly seem to put the perfect words to it. So possibly numbers can express ideas as equally well as words can. For now, let's leave it at that: 1= 0. 99999… and live a life like it. 2 4. What does the author emphasize about words in paragraph 1? A. Their wide variety. B. The
25、ir literary origins. C. Their different sounds. D. Their expressive power. 2 5. What made the author find the equation attractive? A. The repetition of a number. B. The difference between the two numbers. D. The way two different numbers are equal. C. The question the teacher raised. 2 6.
26、Which of the following can replace the underlined word “paralleled” in paragraph 6? A. Measured. B. Mirrored. C. Composed. D. Influenced. 7. What is a suitable title for the text? 2 A. The Perfect Equation. C. An Attractive Question. B. Numbers Build Equations. D. Words Outperform Numbers. C
27、 The United Kingdom is hosting the AI Safety Summit, bringing politicians, computer scientists and big AI company leaders to a site chosen for its symbolism: Bletchley Park, the birthplace of computing and code- breaking ( 密码破译). During World War II, a group of mathematicians, chess master
28、s and other experts gathered at the Victorian country house 72 kilometers northwest of London to start a secret war against Nazi Germany. Their goal was to break a set of constantly changing codes produced by Nazi Germany's Enigma machine. To do it, Bletchley Park's wartime scientists—building on
29、 work done by Polish code- breakers—developed Colossus, the first programmable digital computer. Some historians say cracking the code helped shorten the war by up to two years. “ It has oversimpli fied its true contribution by describing Bletchley Park as a playground for Turing and other scien
30、tists. ” said historian Chris Smith, author of The Hidden History of Bletchley Park. “Although it fits into the romantic idea that a group of smart men with a bit of wool and some yards of wire can win the war. In fact, almost 10, 0 00 people worked at Bletchley Park during the war. Three quarter
31、s of them were women. It's basically a factory. . . Twenty- four hours a day, seven days a week. When peace came, the code- breakers returned to civilian life and promised to keep secret about their wartime work. It was not until the 1970s that the work at Bletchley Park became widely known in Br
32、itain. ” In 1994, the site opened as a museum, after local historians banded together to prevent it from being pulled down to build a supermarket. It was restored to its 1940s appearance, complete with old typewriters, phones and cups— including the one tied to a heater in Hut 8, where Turing led

34、mply? A. Women's hard work was ignored. B. The secret should not be kept for so long. C. The computer ought to be more powerful. D. It is silly to say the machine shortened the war. 3 0. Why is the cup mentioned in the last paragraph? A. To highlight the government's support. C. To show the

36、 C. To show the significance of an important meeting. D. To add some background to the AI safety meeting. D Looking up at the sky during early spring, you may see groups of birds moving as they migrate (迁徙) north. But how do these creatures fly in such a cooperative and seemingly effortle
37、ss fashion? “ The answer lies in aerodynamics(空气动力学),” reports a team of scientists from New York University ( NYU) in a newly published study. They also found that the impact of aerodynamics depends on the size of the flying group—benefiting small groups and disturbing large ones. To mimic(模仿
38、 the flying patterns of birds in which they line up one directly behind the other, the researchers created mechanized(机械化的) wings. They were 3D- printed from plastic and driven by motors to move in water, which showed how air flows around bird wings and how they interact during flight. For smalle
39、r groups, the researchers discovered an effect by which each member gets help from the aerodynamics in holding its position relative to its neighbors. For larger groups, however, these flying interactions cause later members to be thrown out of position, causing a breakdown of the flying patterns
40、 due to crashes among members. The researchers then used mathematical modeling to better understand the underlying forces. It indicates that the interactions between neighbors are spring- like forces. However, these “springs” act in only one direction—a lead bird can apply force on its followers,
41、 but not the other way around. “The spring- like forces move the members back and forth and then travel down the group and increase in intensity, causing later members to crash together, explains Leif Ristroph, an associate professor at New York University. “ This area of research is important s
42、ince animals are known to take advantage of the flows to save on the energy or to reduce drag or resistance, ” explains Leif Ristroph. “ Our work may also have applications in transportation— like efficient speeding through air or water—and energy, such as more effectively harvesting power from wi
43、nd or waves. ” 3 2. What is the major focus of the NYU researchers' study on birds? A. The migration patterns of birds. B. The aerodynamic effects on bird groups. D. The flying routes in early spring. C. The benefits of smaller bird grouping. 3 3. How do flying interactions affect smaller g
44、roups of birds? A. They lead to a breakdown. B. They disturb the formation. C. They help each member in position. D. They cause crashes among members. 3 4. Why does the author mention “springs” in paragraph 4? A. To make a contrast. B. To present new evidence. D. To explain a princi
45、ple. C. To put forward a theory. 3 5. According to Leif Ristroph, what might be a potential application of this research? A. Relieving public traffic jams. B. Improving harvest of solar energy. D. Decreasing air resistance of planes. C. Changing migration routes of birds. 第二节 七选五(共 5 小题;每小题

47、selves Doing something to distract yourself is a good idea. You can find working with your hands is especially good. Your brain simply doesn't have the resources to split itself into a third activity, for example over- thinking. 3 7 3 8 Studies have shown that when someone views something in
48、excitement and anxiety, the brain is forced to become stuck in the present because all of your senses are completely engaged. You do not have time to focus on something different because your mind is focused on what is stimulating you right now. Constant wishing, hoping and praying do not give yo
49、u any relief. They just keep you stuck in one place. But taking the smallest step off the crisis really matters. It will set things in motion, making you like a snowball. 39 The traps are things that cause your natural ability to react without realizing that there is a connect ion between the tw
50、o. Thus, avoiding relevant traps is also a good idea. 40 For example, if one of your colleagues is so negative that she always drags you down, stop hanging out with her by having lunch alone at a nearby restaurant. A. Put simply, out of sight, out of mind. B. This mindset tends to ruin our day.
