【解析】

1考查动词及动词短语。动词spare意为“抽出,匀出”,构成短语spare some time to do sth,该短语意为“抽出是时间做某事”,在本句充当谓语动词。故翻译为:Do you often spare some time to help your parents to do the housework at weekends?

2考查名词。名词possibility意为“可能性”,是一个抽象名词,后面通常接同位语从句或介词短语做定语进行解释说明,本句可以使用同位语从句以及介词of后接动名词的复合结构两种句式来说明人工智能来代替人类的可能性。故翻译为:There’s no possibility of artificial intelligence taking the place of human beings eventually.

There’s no possibility that artificial intelligence will take the place of human beings.

3考查only引导的部分倒装句。当only放在句首,且强调状语的时候,后面的主句使用部分倒装。本句中only放在句首,强调方式状语by maintaining online banking system constantly。故翻译为:Only by maintaining online banking system constantly, can we ensure the security of our bank accounts.

4考查which引导非限制性定语从句用法。在定语从句中关系代词which可以指代前面一句话的内容,引导非限制性定语从句。本句中which指代“too much emphasis has been put on academic achievement(s) instead of the students’ overall development”,故翻译为:In some areas/regions, too much emphasis has been put on academic achievement(s) instead of the students’ overall development, which is the phenomenon worth reflecting on.

【题目】Monkeys surprise us

Humans are the most intelligent animals on Earth. 1But sometimes, our way of thinking can become an obstacle (障碍).

Julia Watzek, a graduate student in psychology at Georgia State University, US, recently did some research on the problem-solving abilities of both monkeys and humans.2They intended to test their ability to change their strategies(策略) in the game. In this game, each player was shown four squares on a computer screen: one striped square, one spotted square and two blank squares. While being trained to play the game, they learned that clicking the stripedsquare and then the spotted square would cause a blue triangle to pop up in one of the blank squares. Clicking on the blue triangle would give them a reward. 3 But partway through the game, the researchers introduced a shortcut (捷径). Suddenly, the blue triangle started appearing at the start of gameplay, alongside the striped and spotted squares.4Remarkably, about 70 percent of the monkeys figured out this shortcut immediately. 5 Only 1 out of 56 human players figured out the shortcut right away.

Watzek’s conclusion was that humans tend to get “stuck in their ways” when it comes to strategic thinking. Things such as standardized testing and formal schooling might cause humans to use the same strategy over and over, even when it doesn’t work very well.

A.Monkeys never did better than human.

B.She and her team had them play a simple game.

C.The spotted square didn’t appear at all till the end.

D.Humans, on the other hand, were slow to figure it out.

E.We have mental abilities that other animals don’t have.

F.If a player clicked on the blue triangle, they’d receive their reward right away.

G.Human players would hear a “woop!” sound and monkey players would receive a snack.

【题目】 Even though they're not the most exciting things in the world, plants have attracted us ever since the days of early humans. They may not do any tricks or greet us when we come home at night like a dog would, but that doesn't mean they're any less interesting than animals.

However, just when we thought we knew everything we could about them, a recent study found that plants may have a secret ability that has gone unnoticed all this time.

According to the study by Australian biologist Monica Gagliano, published in the journal Oecologia, plants may be able to "hear” sounds . To come to this conclusion, Gagliano and her team planted pea seedlings (幼苗)in a pair of different Y-shaped pots with two arms. The first pot's arms led to fresh water, while the other's led to either dry soil or a sealed (密封的)plastic tube containing flowing water. Naturally, the first pot's seedlings grew toward the water. What's surprising, however, is that the second pot's seedlings grew toward the sealed water supply but not the soil.

"They just knew the water was there even if the only thing to discover was the sound of it flowing inside the pipe, ” Gagliano told Scientific American . She believes that plants are able to use their leaves to discover sound waves, which make tiny vibrations (振动)as they're produced. This could explain why so many people believe that singing or playing music to their plants helps them grow. “ I had a plant that I used to wash the leaves of once a week and sing to," plant lover Heather Goodall told BBC News. "It grew from being about 2 feet tall to 7 feet tall in just a couple of years."

So, does this mean we should start treating our plants like pets? Not necessarily, although perhaps it does mean we should give them more respect. "I would like to see plants accepted more as the amazing and interesting living beings, and less as just a source of human nutrition," Fatima Cvrckova, a scientist at Charles University in the Czech Republic, told BBC News.

1What did Gagliano find in their study?

A.Plants can recognize the sound of water.

B.Sound can change the direction plants grow toward.

C.Plants can tell the difference between various sounds.

D.Different plants can discover sounds in different ways.

2What do plants use to hear sound according to Gagliano?

A.Their rootsB.Their flowers

C.Their fruitsD.Their leaves

3Why does the author mention Heather Goodall's example?

A.To show a different way of growing plants.

B.To inspire people to sing to their plants often.

C.To prove that music plays a role in plant growth.

D.To stress the importance of treating plants like pets.

4What would Cvrckova probably agree with?

A.Plants are just a source of human nutrition.

B.There is still a lot we do not know about plants.

C.Plants are unbelievable and deserve more respect.

D.Most people do not care enough about their plants.
