161．The
（cruel） of his words cut her like a knife．發(fā)布：2025/1/1 17:0:1組卷：7引用：5難度：0.7162．Human beings are extremely diverse in many ways.People differ in opinions，races，nationalities，lifestyles and so on.Yet we are all human species，we feel pain and joy despite the differences.Today，it is impossible for any group of people to live without interacting with others outside their group.（1）
Diversity creates richness in opinion.Some problems can't be solved by a homogeneous（同種類的）group of people. （2）A diverse group will offer fresh ideas to solve the problems.Diverse groups have been found to be creative and thus producing better solutions to problems.
Diversity makes us compassionate about others.When we interact and try to understand others，we won't judge them.This instead makes us compassionate about others.（3）Compassion allows us to realize that all human beings are the same.
Diversity is a growing trend.Today，there is no country in the world that has only natives living there.（4）In the process，people of different cultural backgrounds often find themselves going to the same schools，working in the same office and so much more.As citizens of this word，we are therefore left with no choice other than embrace our diversity.
（5）Through diversity，entrepreneurs（企業(yè)家）have been able to reach new markets.Today，we have multinationals setting up offices in different parts of the world of which it would not be possible without embracing diversity.This future creates employment opportunities for people in those parts of the world.
A.They are in search of good lifestyles.
B.Diversity opens up new market chances.
C.Diversity requires us to respect each other.
D.We are then able to love and help one another.
E.Cultural diversity，therefore，is very important today.
F.The challenge requires people from different backgrounds to work together.
G.Millions of people are moving from one part of the world to another every day.發(fā)布：2025/1/1 17:0:1組卷：6引用：3難度：0.5163．Jack Ma insisted that there______no excellent businessmen if everything went too smoothly and that they______as normal in face of hardships．（ ）
發(fā)布：2025/1/1 17:0:1組卷：57引用：2難度：0.6164．The Mozart in the Machine Sometime in the coming decades，an external system that collects and analyzes biometric data （生物特征數(shù)據(jù)） will probably be able to understand what's going on in my body and in my brain much better than me.What will it do to art？Will art remain humanity's last line of defense against the rise of the all-knowing algorithms （算法）？
In the modern world art is usually associated with human emotions.We tend to think that artists are controlling internal psychological forces，and that the whole purpose of art is to connect us with our emotions or to inspire in us some new feeling.Consequently，when we come to evaluate art，we tend to judge it by its emotional impact and to believe that beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
In 1952，the composer John Cage composed a musical piece 4'33" This piece consists of 4 minutes and 33 seconds during which no instrument plays anything.The piece encourages the audience to observe their inner experiences in order to examine what music is and what we expect of it.The message is that it is our own expectations and emotions that define music.
If art is defined by human emotions，what might happen once external algorithms are able to understand and manipulate human emotions better than Shakespeare，Picasso or Lennon？After all，emotions are not some mysterious forces —they are a biochemical process.Therefore，given enough biometric data and enough computing power，it might be possible to hack （入侵） love，hate，boredom and joy.
Of all forms of art，music is probably the most sensitive to Big Data analysis，because the inputs are the mathematical patterns of soundwaves，and the outputs are the electrochemical signals.Allow a learning machine to go over millions of musical experiences，and it will learn how particular inputs result in particular outputs.
Therefore，in the long run，algorithms may learn how to compose entire tunes，playing on human emotions as if they were a piano keyboard.Using your personal biometric data，the algorithms could even produce personalized melodies，which you alone in the entire world would appreciate.
Will this result in great art？That depends on the definition of art.If beauty is indeed in the ears of their listener，then biometric algorithms stand a chance of producing the best art in history.If art is about something deeper than human emotions，biometric algorithms might not make very good artists.But nor would most humans.In order to enter the art market，algorithms won't have to begin by straight away beating Beethoven.It is enough if they outperform Justin Bieber.

The average American，for example，spends about 90% of their life indoors．But what happens if we make time for an hour outside each day？
（2）You'll have to stand up and move，which is beneficial if most of your day involves sitting in front of a screen．Research shows short breaks can improve work enthusiasm，and a quick break in natural light will deliver a shot of vitamin D．
There's also a lot of work on the mental benefits of being in nature-on the state of being happy and on your brain's ability to make sense of life． "When people are all out in nature，even in urban nature，people tend to have more positive emotion and energy than when they are indoors．（3）says Lisa Nisbet ，associate professor at Canada's Trent University．
The idea that nature is good for us has been gaining ground since the 1980s．（4）Afterwards shinrin-yoku，the Japanese concept followed that absorbing the atmosphere in forests can benefit your health．Researchers of shinrin-yoku have since found plenty of physical and mental benefits，while global studies suggest time in nature can，for example，restore our ability to focus，increase creativity，and even help us live longer．
Of course，many of us live in cities with no ready access to forests or wilderness．（5）Various studies have shown that green environments in cities have beneficial effects．
A．We also don't get out much．
B．But it doesn't have to be a forest．
C．People can get to a forest for a hike．
D．In other words，people are happier in nature．
E．There are some obvious benefits to going outside．
F．Green and blue spaces are better than busy city streets．
G．First came the theory that humans have a basic desire to connect with nature．發(fā)布：2025/1/1 17:0:1組卷：6引用：2難度：0.5166．Benchley came to see people as a danger to sharks，_________ the other way round.（ ?。?/h2>
發(fā)布：2025/1/1 17:0:1組卷：34引用：2難度：0.7167．閱讀下面材料，根據(jù)其內(nèi)容和所給段落開(kāi)頭語(yǔ)續(xù)寫(xiě)一段，使之構(gòu)成一篇完整的短文。
Lee took a deep breath and let it out slowly.When his lungs felt comfortable，he dived beneath the water.Looking up，he could see the bright sun shining on the water's surface. "Soon，" Lee thought， "I shall be able to hold my breath as long as David.Then I，too，shall be able to dive for pearls. "
With lungs burning，he quickly surfaced and gasped（喘氣） for breath.Lee was small for his twelve years，and he hated being treated as a child.David，his old brother，had been looked upon as a man long before he was Lee's age.
Now，every day as the sun warmed the bay，David and the other young men went out to dive for oysters （牡蠣）.With luck，there would be pearls in many of them.Many times Lee begged to go along，but David always refused.
So every day Lee would go to the shallow water to practice.With each day's effort，his diving improved and he felt much at home in the water. "Tomorrow I shall challenge David." Lee decided.The next morning，Lee rose early，hurrying to catch up with David，who was already on the beach. "David，wait!" called Lee.
The group of men around David grew quiet.Lee continued， "David，I say that I can hold my breath under the water as long as you can.If I win，I ask only that you treat me as a man and let me dive by your side."
The men of the village gasped（倒抽氣） and began to laugh.David looked amused， "And what if when you lose？"
"I will not lose!" He took a breath， "But if I should，I promise not to ask to go with you for a full year!The men of the village are here to judge."
Hearing this，David looked surprised.
注意：
1.續(xù)寫(xiě)詞數(shù)應(yīng)為100左右；
2.續(xù)寫(xiě)部分分為一段，開(kāi)頭語(yǔ)已為你寫(xiě)好；
But with all of his friends looking on，David had no choice but to agree.____________發(fā)布：2025/1/1 17:0:1組卷：2引用：3難度：0.4168．Next month，I'm traveling to a remote area of Central Africa and my aim is to know enough Lingala - one of the local languages - to have a conversation．I wasn't sure how I was going to manage this - until I discovered a way to learn all the vocabulary I'm going to need．Thanks to Memrise，the application I'm using．It feels just like a game．
"People often stop learning things because they feel they're not making progress or because it all feels like too much hard work，" says Ed Cooke，one of the people who created Memrise． "We're trying to create a form of learning experience that is fun and is something you'd want to do instead of watching TV．"
Memrise gives you a few new words to learn and these are "seeds" which you plant in your "greenhouse"．When you learn the words，you "water your plants"．When the application believes that you've really memorized a word，it moves the word to your "garden"．And if you forget to log on，the application sends you emails，reminding you to "water your plants"．
The application uses two principles about learning．The first is that people memorize things better when they link them to a picture in their mind．Memrise translates words into your own language，but it also encourages you to use "mems"．For example，I memorized motele，the Lingala word for "engine"，using a mem I created - I imagined an old engine in a motel （汽車(chē)旅館） room．
The second principle is that we need to stop after studying words and then repeat them again later，leaving time between study sessions．Memrise helps you with this，because it's the kind of application you only use for five or ten minutes a day．
I've learnt hundreds of Lingala words with Memrise．I know this won't make me a fluent speaker，but I hope I'll be able to do more than just smile when I meet people in Congo．Now，I need to go and water my Vocabulary!
（1）What does Ed Cooke make an effort to do with Memrise？
A．Create memorable experiences．
B．Make progress with hard work．
C．Learning words instead of watching TV．
D．Combine study with entertainment．
（2）What are you doing when you "water your plants"？
A．Logging on to the application．
B．Being a Memrise user．
C．Practising the vocabulary．
D．Moving words to your garden．
（3）How does Memrise work？
A．By linking different mems together．
B．By putting knowledge into practice．
C．By offering human translation services．
D．By applying an associative memory approach．
（4）What is the author's attitude towards Memrise？
A．Doubtful．
B．Positive．
C．Uninterested．
D．Negative．發(fā)布：2025/1/1 17:0:1組卷：3引用：2難度：0.2169．When I was a boy growing up in New Jersey in the 1960s，we had a milkman delivering milk to our doorstep.His name was Mr.Basille.He wore a white cap and drove a white truck.As a 5-year-old boy，I couldn't take my eyes off the coin changer fixed to his belt.He noticed this one day during a delivery and gave me a quarter out of his coin changer.
Of course，he delivered more than milk.There was cheese，eggs and so on.If we needed to change our order，my mother would pen a note — "Please add a bottle of buttermilk next delivery" — and place it in the box along with the empty bottles.And then，the buttermilk would magically （魔術(shù)般）appear.
All of this was about more than convenience.There existed a close relationship between families and their milkmen.Mr.Basille even had a key to our house，for those times when it was so cold outside that we put the box indoors，so that the milk wouldn't freeze.And I remember Mr.Basille from time to time taking a break at our kitchen table，having a cup of tea and telling stories about his delivery.
There is sadly no home milk delivery today.Big companies allowed the production of cheaper milk，thus making it difficult for milkmen to compete.Besides，milk is for sale everywhere，and it may just not have been practical to have a delivery service.
Recently，an old milk box in the countryside I saw brought back my childhood memories.I took it home and planted it on the back porch（門(mén)廊）.Every so often my son's friends will ask what it is.So I start telling stories of my boyhood，and of the milkman who brought us friendship along with his milk.
（1）Mr.Basille gave the boy a quarter out of his coin changer to.
A．show his magical power
B．pay for the delivery
C．satisfy his curiosity
D．please his mother
（2）What can be inferred from the fact that the milkman had the key to the boy's house？
A．He wanted to have tea there.
B．He was a respectable person.
C．He was treated as a family member.
D．He was fully trusted by the family.
（3）Why does home milk delivery no longer exist？
A．Nobody wants to be a milkman now.
B．It has been driven out of the market.
C．Its service is getting poor.
D．It is not allowed by law.
（4）Why did the author bring back home an old milk box？
A．He missed the good old days.
B．He wanted to tell interesting stories.
C．He needed it for his milk bottles.
D．He planted flowers in it.發(fā)布：2025/1/1 17:0:1組卷：7引用：3難度：0.5170．With her attention __________ on the book，the girl sat there quietly.（ ?。?/h2>
