2、as the iPhone 11 and iPhone XR before it, iPhone 12 is making the transition from an LCD screen to OLED. With flat aluminum (铝) sides for an overall look, it more closely matches the iPad Pro and iPad Air.Aside from the flat sides, iPhone 12 still largely resembles the iPhone 11. Around back, it has

3、 two cameras housed in a glass circle, which makes for a nice contrast with the rest of the smooth back panel. To avoid being broken or cracked when dropped, iPhone 12 is covered with whatApple describes as a ceramic (陶瓷)shield”. Camera The iPhone 12 has a 12-megapixel f/1.6 main camera the fastest

4、aperture (光圈) in any iPhone yet. The low-light performance has improved, and its advancements in computational photography to maximize detail and dynamic range has also been achieved. The front camera on the iPhone 12 is gaining Night Mode, as well. Processor iPhone 12 is powered by the companys new

5、A14 Bionic processor, which is the first smart phone chip built on a 5nm process, leading to improved performance and efficiency. Its claimed that the processor is up to 50 percent faster than the leading chips in Android smart phones. Wireless Charging To improve wireless charging on the iPhone 12,

6、 it contains a “MagSafe“ system with built-in magnets to guarantee that the iPhone 12 properly lines up with the MagSafe accessories (配件). 1. What is the size of iPhone 12? A.About 6.1 -inch as that of iPhone Max. B. The same size as iPad Pro. C. Bigger than that of iPhone 11. D.As big as iPhone 11.

7、 2. Whats the function of the MagSafe system? A. To carry out the wired charging of iPhone 12. B. To perfectly match the iPad Pro and iPad Air. C. To make sure the iPhone 12 is right for the MagSafe accessories. D. To process the information in a more rapid way. 3. Which of the following is TRUE abo

8、ut iPhone 12? A. There are only two cameras placed separately in front and back. B. It is powered by A14 Bionic processor used in Android smart phones. C.All cameras of iPhone 12 have the Night Mode. D.Aceramic shield helps protect against breaking and cracking. 4. What would be the title of the pas

9、sage? A. iPhone 11.B. iPad Pro.C. iPad Air.D. iPhone 12. B My favorite novel isAlbert Camuss The Plague(鼠疫). It was published in 1947, after Word War. On the surface, its a story about an Algerian coastal town threatened by a mysterious plague. But the symbolic idea works on the concrete presentatio

10、n of a metaphysical(形而上学的) problem, which is the cruel fact of suffering. Like the plague, its just a thing that happens in the world whether we want it to or not. Camuss novel asks if we can think of suffering not as an individual burden but as a shared experienceand maybe turn it into something po

11、sitive. The key is to recognize the universality of suffering.Aplague is an extraordinary event and the horror it results in is extraordinary, too. But suffering is anything but extraordinary. Every day you leave the house, something terrible could happen. The same is true for all. All of us are sub

12、ject to forces over which we have no control. Apandemic(大流行病) forces us to think about our responsibilities to the people around us. The hero of The Plague is a committed doctor named Rieux. From the very beginning, Rieux devotes himself to resisting the plague that united its victims. Each characte

13、r in the story is defined(刻画) by what they do when the plague comes. No one escapes it, but those who reduce the suffering of others are the most fulfilled. The only villains are those who cannot see beyond themselves. The plague, for these people, is either an excuse to flee or an opportunity to ma

14、ke profits. Because they cant see that their condition is shared, a spirit of unity is completely foreign to them. And that blindness makes community impossible. At the very end of The Plague, Camus stated his philosophy that the struggle against suffering is never over for good. The plague will ret

15、urn, and so will everything else that upsets humans. But the point of the book is that a shared struggle is what makes community possible in the first place. Apandemic, terrible though it is, highlights our mutual interdependence in a way that only tragedy can. The beauty of The Plague is that it as

16、ks the reader to map the lessons of the pandemic onto everyday life. The principles that drive the hero, Rieux, are the same principles that make every society worthwhileunderstanding, love and unity. If we learn these lessons, in a moment of crisis, well all be better off on the other side of it. 5

17、. What is the symbolic idea of The Plague? A.An individual burden.B.A positive experience. C.Auniversal suffering.D.An extraordinary event. 6. What does the underlined word mean? A. The blind.B. Businessmen. C. Foreign victims.D. Wrongdoers. 7.According to the author, what can we learn from The Plag

18、ue? A. We should think of unity more than individual calculation. B. The pandemic cannot be defeated as it will make a comeback. C. Understanding, love and unity rid the society of struggle. D. Well be better off in a moment of crisis if listening to a doctor. 8. What is the purpose of this text? A.

19、 To introduce a book. B. To solve a social problem. C. To remember a writer. D. To express an opinion. C For years, the U.S. has experienced a shortage of registered nurses. The Bureau of Labor Statistics projects that while the number of nurses will increase by 19 percent by 2022, demand will grow

20、faster than supply, and that there will be over one million unfilled nursing jobs by then. So whats the solution? Robots. Japan is ahead of the curve when it comes to this trend. Toyohashi University of Technology has developed Terapio, a robotic medical cart that can make hospital rounds, deliver m

21、edications and other items. It follows a specific individual, such as a doctor or nurse, who can use it to record and access patient data. This type of robot will likely to be one of the first to be implemented in hospitals because it has fairly minimal patient contact. Arobots appearance affects it

22、s ability to successfully interact with humans, which is why the RIKEN-TRI Collaboration Center for Human-Interactive Robot Research decided to develop a robotic nurse called Acntroid F. It is so human-like that some patients may not know the difference. This conversational robot companion has camer

23、as in its eyes, which allow it to track patients and use appropriate facial expressions and body language in its interactions. During a month-long hospital trial, researchers asked 70 patients how they felt being around the robot and “only three or four said they didnt like having it around”. Its im

24、portant to note that robotic nurses dont decide courses of treatment or make diagnoses. Instead, they perform routine and laborious tasks, freeing nurses up to attend to patients with immediate needs. This is one industry where it seems the interaction of robots will lead to collaboration, not repla

25、cement. 9. What does the author say about Japan? A. It ranks top in future robotics technology. B. It takes the lead in offering robotic nursing. C. It is in desperate need of registered nurses. D. It provides the best medication for the elderly. 10. Which of the following best explains “implemented

26、” underlined in Paragraph 3? A. cancelled.B. constructed.C. improved.D. applied. 11. What do we know about the robotActroid F? A. It has no difference from a human nurse. B. It gets favorable remarks from all the patients. C. It interacts with patients like a human companion. D. It uses body languag

27、e even more effectively than words. 12. What is the authors attitude towards robotic nurses? A. SkepticalB. PositiveC. CriticalD. Indifferent D Adoctor named Chepurnov from Siberia conducted a controversial coronavirus immunity test after surviving COVID-19 in March. The 68-year-old Russian doctor s

28、pent time with coronavirus-positive patients without wearing a mask to see if he could get a second COVID-19 infection. The doctor was infected a second time and experienced a worse COVID-19 case than he had previously. This unusual coronavirus immunity test can easily be filed under the “only in Ru

29、ssia” section of COVID-19 news. Only in Russia was a coronavirus vaccine approved for mass use before any scientific research was shared with the world and before the drug cleared the Phase 3 trial. The story gets even crazier, considering the doctors age.At 68-years-old,Alexander Chepurnov happens

30、to be the kind of COVID-19 patient most at risk of developing a severe case. Even so, Chepurnovs controversial experiment isnt without worth. Its certainly the kind of experiment that others wouldnt necessarily approve of, especially in western countries. But its the kind of experiment that can yiel

31、d results and Chepurnov did get his wish. He was reinfected with COVID- 19 within six months from the first bout. Chepurnov and his research team started to monitor his antibodies. He discovered that they vanished after three months. “The observation showed a fairly rapid decrease,” he told the pape

32、r. “By the end of the third month from the start of the disease, they ceased to be determined.” This falls in line with other studies about COVID-19 antibody life. Chepurnovs story also seems to fall in line with other studies that say immunity can last for at least 5-7 months. The story also proves

33、 that immunity lasts even after the antibodies are gone and suggests that other immune system components are indeed involved in providing prolonged protection. Others theorized that T cells would extend immunity beyond the life of the first batch of antibodies. Chepurnovs empirical findings are also

34、 important for vaccine research. If immunity lasts less than a year, more booster shots (加强针剂) might be needed after the initial doses. But Newsweek points out a problem with the experiment. Because his first case of COVID-19 hasnt been diagnosed via a PCR test. Also, Chepurnovs experiment hasnt bee

35、n published in a scientific journal, and its unclear what scientific rigors were applied. Still, if his findings are accurate, Chepurnov is actually right to warn against using a herd immunity approach to beat the pandemic. 13. Why is Chepurnovs experiment considered controversial? A. Its not effect

36、ive.B. Its too dangerous. C. Its disapproved of by Russia.D. Its not diagnosed via a PCR test. 14. What does the underlined word they in Paragraph 3 probably refer to? A. diseasesB. virusesC. antibodiesD. results 15. What is the finding of Chepurnovs experiment? A. COVID-19 immunity lasts permanentl

37、y in ones body. B. The longevity of COVID-19 antibodies is about 3 months. C. Old patients are most at risk of developing a severe COVID-19. D. Vaccination can protect one from being infected with coronaviruses. 16. Whats the main idea of the passage? A. Siberia is a unique place for treating COVID-

38、19 patients. B. Newsweek found the evidence against herd immunity to COVID-19. C. Researches showed humans produce antibodies if infected with coronaviruses. D.Acontroversial experiment on coronavirus immunity was conducted in Russia. E Whether its Chinese social media like Sina Weibo, or Western me

39、dia like Instagram an Facebook, videos can go viral in mere hours. The wide range of viral videos suggests that popular concepts are largely random.After all, what links the recent broom challenge to funny internet cat videos? According to scientists from Stanford University, US, the popularity of a

40、 video can be predicted by looking at how certain areas of a persons brain react within the first few seconds of a video. This method has been called neuroforecasting(神经预测). The team made the finding by recruiting(招募)36 volunteers to watch a range of videos while being scanned with an FMRIa machine

41、that can monitor the changes in blood oxygen and flow. Participants were shown 32 different videos and were monitored according to their brain responses in four different areas. The results showed that specific brain activity during the first four seconds of a video could effectively predict a perso

42、ns thoughts on a video and whether they would keep watching. Using the FMRI results, the Stanford team consistently saw increased activity in the nucleus accumbens(伏 核)and decreased activity in the anterior insula(前脑岛)parts of the brain while the participants were watching the most popular of the 32

43、-vidco selection. According to the study, these two brain regions are related to the feeling of expectation we get when were not certain of somethings outcome. Stanford neuroscientist(神经学家)and the studys author Brian Knutson said: If we examine our subjects choices to watch the video or even their r

44、eported responses to the videos, they dont tell us about the general response online . Only brain activity seems to forecast a videos popularity on the internet.” He added, “Future research might also systematically analyze the video content, so content creators can use these findings to make their

45、videos more popular.” In the future, the team aims to use this type of FMRI experiment to understand whether processes that generate individual choice can tell us something about choices made by large groups of people”.According to Knutson, this could apply to shopping trends, charity support and ge

46、neral money-spending. 17.What did scientists from Stanford University find? A. There are differences between viral videos in different cultures. B. Peoples reported response can predict the popularity of a video. C. There are links between viral videos under different subjects. D. Viewers initial br

47、ain activity can forecast the popularity of a video. 18. What was the brains response when viewers watched the most popular video? A.All four areas monitored displayed increased activity. B. One area got more active while another became less active. C.Areas related to the feeling of uncertainty got

48、more active. D. The activity of areas related to the feeling of expectation increased. 19. What can we conclude from Brian Knutsons words? A. The participants choices to watch the videos help them make the finding. B. How long the subjects watched the videos also mattered to their conclusion. C. Our

49、 brain activity can show something we ourselves dont realize. D. When the video was beyond the viewers expectation, it is generally popular. 20. What is the aim of the teams future research? A. Exploring the link between individual and general choices. B. Interviewing content creators how they make

50、videos. C. Discouraging more charity organizations. D.Applying their findings to arresting criminals. 第二节第二节( (共共 5 小题；每小题小题；每小题 2 分，满分分，满分 10 分分) ) 根据短文内容根据短文内容， 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。 选项中有两项为选项中有两项为 多余选项多余选项。 If youre a procrastinator(拖延的人), youre familiar with the pain and st
