14、treet corner in the small Midwestern city where I worked. Inside, there was a high ceiling. “Did this use to be a bank?” many visitors would ask. But it had, in fact, always been a newsroom.I was young and shy when I first went to work there, and it probably took me a month before I talked to any of

15、 the other reporters. But eventually, they became my best friends, the core of my social lifeMy second newsroom was the airy top floor of a historic building in the state capital of Maryland. It was smaller and less grand but far more energizing. My colleagues were older. I learned so much about how

16、 to be a reporter from overhearing their phone interviews.This past summer, several American newspapers announced they would be closing their newsrooms. Many local newspapers have gone out of business in recent years, victims of declining circulation and shrinking advertising dollars. Then along cam

17、e the coronavirus pandemic (新冠病毒疫情), and so many of us were sent home to work from there. The pleasant surprise is that we have all succeeded brilliantly in working remotely. But some managers have looked at this success and thought: “Why would we need to return to the newsroom?”I worry that they ar

18、e making a big mistake. A physical newsroom sends a powerful message to a community: “We are here for you.” At my first job, strangers could walk right through the door and straight up my desk. We treasured that visibility.But I also think about the collaboration (合作) of the times I would overhear c

19、olleagues talking about a story and realize that I had some useful information for them. Sometimes, a colleague would see me in the hall and give me a story idea. I cant wait to get back to my newsroom.24How was the authors first newsroom different from the second one?AIt sat in a big city.BIt used

22、pers will disappear due to it.DIt is against the will of communities.Aristotle believed the face was a window onto a persons mind. Two thousand years on, facial expressions are still commonly thought to be a universally valid way to tell other peoples feelings. A raised eyebrow suggests confusion. A

23、 smile means happiness.Or do they? An analysis of hundreds of research papers that examined the relationship between facial expressions and underlying emotions has uncovered a surprising conclusion; there is no good scientific evidence to suggest that there are such things as recognisable facial exp

24、ressions for basic emotions which are universal across cultures.Lisa Feldman Barrett, one of the authors of the study, says, “We surprised ourselves.” They found that, on average, adults in urban cultures scowled (怒视) when they were angry 30% of the time, which meant that some 70% of the time they d

25、id not Scowl when angry. People also scowled when they were not angry. Dr. Feldman Barrett says, “They scowl when theyre concentrating; they scowl when someone tells them a bad joke; they scowl for lots of reasons,” A scowl, the researchers concluded is certainly one expression of anger. But it is n

26、ot the only way people express that emotion.All this raises questions about the efforts of information-technology companies to develop artificial intelligence algorithms (计算程序) which can recognise facial expressions and work out a Persons underlying emotional states. Microsoft, for example, claims i

27、ts “Emotion API” is able to detect what people are feeling by examining videos of them. Alex Martine, another of the studys authors, however, expressed scepticism.Given that people cannot guess each other emotional states most of the time, Dr. Martinez sees no reason why computers would be able to.

28、“There are companies rig claiming to be able to do that and apply this to situations in ways I find really scary d dangerous, such as hiring people,” he says. “Some companies require you to submit a video CV, and then this is analysed by a machine-learning system. And depending on your facial expres

29、sions, they hire you or not, which think is based on a dangerous hypothesis (假设).”28What does the author think of Aristotles belief about facial expressions?AIt has not been literally challenged so far.BIt was already disproved many years agoCIt is in line with most common peoples opinions.DIt was f

30、aced with great disagreement when first put forward.29Whats the conclusion of the new analysis?AFacial expressions are hardly recognisable.BUnderlying emotions arent easy to express.CDifferent cultures tend to express emotions in the same way.DFacial expressions dont necessarily reflect what is deep

31、 down.30What did Lisa Feldman Barrett find out about scowls?AThey are not always related to anger.BThey are the strongest expressions of anger.CThey are not frequently used in urban cultures.DThey are used to respond to had jokes most of the time.31What might be Alex Martinezs on “Emotion API”?AIt i

32、s scientific.BIt is absurd.CIt is progressing well.DIt is scary for job hunters.While most people dont think much about garbage, trash (垃圾) is beloved by archaeologist (考古学家). A favorite site for study is a midden (贝丘), an old trash or garbage heap (堆). A midden might contain damaged stone or metal

33、items, which tell us about the weapons and tools people used. Softer materials such as wood, cloth, leather, and baskets are sometimes preserved.

34、ery pieces and even traces of the food they once held.Most people no longer keep a trash heap by the kitchen door. Instead, garbage is hauled off to landfills (垃圾填埋池). These landfills can still attract archaeologists. The Garbage Project collected information from landfills from 1987 to 1995. Studen

35、t archaeologists measured tons of garbage from 15 landfills across the United States and Canada. This garbology, the study of garbage, research led to a better understanding of how people have changed what they consume during this period of time. The findings also led to a better awareness of how qu

36、ickly various items rot. This helped with city planning for garbage disposal and recycling efforts.Some found objects that may clearly be of archaeological interest, such as arrowheads and spear points. It is typically against the law to collect these on public lands, so they should be left in place

39、t.33What did the student archaeologists mentioned in Paragraph 2 do?AThey conducted a study on modern trash.BThey recycled waste from some landfills.CThey offered some creative city planning ideas.DThey compared ancient trash heaps with modern landfills.34What should you do if you find a potential h

40、istoric item?ADonate it to public collections.BTake it to proper authorities.CLeave it in a safe place.DMark the place of it.35What is the best title for the text?APast or Future?BTrash or Treasure?CProtection of Damage?DProblem or Resource?五、七选五When you think about art, you might think of it as per

Artists who work in sand animation use sand to make a set of images that usually tell a story. They often

44、 start with a large amount of sand on a flat surface, such as a table. They then use their hands and fingers to draw in the sand._39_ However, the wide variety of beautiful and highly-detailed sand artworks might surprise you. Many of these works of art are temporary. Thats where the animation part

45、comes in.Sand animation artists create a series of images that move to tell a story. They might also use music and special lighting to complete the effect. Sometimes they take photographs of or video their creation throughout the process. _40_ANot all works of art are permanent, though.BSand animati
