21、Instead of throwing the pits (核) or nuts after eating fruits like many people, inheritors of nut carving will collect them and turn them into artworks.

“One nut, ranging from 0.8 to 6 centimeters, can be shaped into delicate earrings, buttons, seals, etc,” said Tan Wanhai, an inheritor of Weifang nut carving.

Weifang nut carving can be traced back to the Qing Dynasty, during which a retired royal craftsman Wang Dayan spread the skill to the locals in Shandong. Craftsmen back then often used peach pits to display their artistic skills. Due to the demanding carving skills and its rich artistic content including many different elements, Weifang nut carving was listed as a national intangible cultural heritage as early as 2008.

Tan has studied the nut carving over 25 years and has created many nut carvings along the way. Yet, the 48-year-old craftsman also admitted that the journey of bringing this kind of masterpiece to life is not all smooth sailing. “Unlike some pits like olive pits whose surfaces are flat, each peach pit has a unique texture like fingerprints,” Tan said, adding that craftsmen should have the capability to trace each peach pit carefully to plan their artwork besides the carving technique itself.

Also, craftsmen need to have a wide foundation of knowledge when it comes to carving nuts. According to Tan, they have to master skills in painting, seal carving and calligraphy from many traditional cultures. Sometimes, to depict classic folktales or legends in their artworks better, they need to read many books to prepare themselves.   

It is this kind of dedication that Tan and others possess that allows Weifang nut carving to thrive when many traditional skills are gradually disappearing. “In recent years, Weifang nut carving artworks have been increasingly welcomed by people in China for their inventive layout and novel ideas,” Tan said. This popularity, in turn, has also attracted many people to learn the skill of nut carving and even become inheritors to pass it down.

【1】What can we know about Weifang nut carving?

A．It dates back to the Ming Dynasty.

B．It can transform a nut into different designs.

C．It was invented by a retired royal craftsman.

D．It was first nationally recognized 25 years ago.

【2】Which of the following words can replace the underlined word “depict” in paragraph 5?

22、When Oumou Dieye first started competing against men in the sport of golf, she was not confident and felt a little afraid. The men did not want to golf with her nor did they take her seriously. But then, she won her first game. After that, she had all the confidence she needed to keep playing and defeating male golfers.

Dieye is the only professional female golfer in Senegal. She was introduced to golf by her brother-in-law and immediately fell in love. Not long after she began competing, Dieye was given a chance to train in Morocco. With the financial support from her French golf partners, she spent three months training with the Moroccan Golf Federation. She said she enjoyed the experience so much that she returned to Morocco and stayed for seven years. While there, she also taught children at a golfing school.

Today her home is filled with many golfing awards. She has won so many that she has lost track of the number. What she has done is notable because Senegal is a conservative, Muslim nation. There is much pressure from society for women not to be involved in professional sports. The country practices a more liberal form of Islam (伊斯兰教). However, the culture still has traditional ideas of what women should do. A woman who chooses sports over duties at home risks being rejected by her family. At first, her family was not supportive. But after seeing her love of the sport, they changed their minds.

In 2018, when Dieye returned from Morocco, she was not happy about the state of golf in her home country. She wanted to create a golf school similar to the one in Morocco. In 2020, the Senegalese Golf Federation agreed to help Dieye establish a golf school in preparation for the 2026 Summer Youth Olympics in Dakar. It will be Dieye’s job to train Senegal’s first national golf team. This will involve preparing female golfers-including her own daughter.

【1】What was the situation when Dieye first played golf with male players?

A．She was a shy girl short of social skills.

B．Her family didn’t support her golf career.

C．They didn’t think she was a worthy competitor.

D．She was the only female golfer of the country.

【2】What can we learn about the country of Senegal?

A．It has received financial support from France.

B．Women there are encouraged to stay at home.

C．Sports play an important part in people’s life.

D．Golf players are very popular in the country.

【3】Which of the following best describes Dieye?

A．A pioneer.

B．An explorer.

C．A producer.

D．An investigator.

23、In order to help cope with the vast number of student questions in the online class, Knowledge-Based Artificial Intelligence, Professor Ashok Goel of Georgia Tech developed an artificially intelligent teaching assistant. This online course is a core requirement of Georgia Tech’s online Master of Science in Computer Science program. Professor Goel already had eight teaching assistants, but that wasn’t enough to handle the vast number of daily questions from students.

Many students drop out of online courses because of the lack of teaching support. When students feel isolated or confused and reach out with questions that go unanswered, their motivation to continue begins to fade. Professor Goel decided to do something to remedy this situation and his solution was to create a virtual assistant named Jill Watson, which is based on the IBM Watson platform.

Goel and his team developed several versions of Jill Watson before releasing her to the online forums. At first, the virtual assistant wasn’t too great. But Goel and his team sourced the online discussion forum to find all the 40,000 questions that had ever been asked since the class was launched. Then they began to feed Jill with the questions and answers. After some adjustment and ample time, Jill was able to answer the students’ questions correctly 97% of the time. The virtual assistant became so advanced and realistic that the students didn’t know she was a computer. The students, who were studying artificial intelligence, were interacting with the virtual assistant and couldn’t tell it from a real human being. Goel didn’t inform them about Jill’s true identity until April 26. The students were actually very positive about the experience.

The goal of Professor Goel’s virtual assistant next year is to take over answering 40% of all the questions posed by students on the online forum. The name Jill Watson will, of course, change to something else next semester. Professor Goel has a much rosier forecast on the future of artificial intelligence than, say, Elon Musk, Stephen Hawking, Bill Gates or Steve Wozniak.

【1】What do we learn about Knowledge-Based Artificial Intelligence?

A．It is a robot that can answer students’ questions.

B．It is a high-tech device that revolutionizes teaching.

C．It is a course designed for students to learn online.

D．It is a computer program that aids student learning.

【2】What does the underlined word “remedy” in the paragraph 2 mean?

A．Boycott.

B．Improve.

C．Evaluate.

D．Corrupt.

【3】What do we learn about Jill Watson?

A．She was unwelcome to students at first.

B．She got along pretty well with students.

C．She turned out to be a great success.

D．She was released online as an experiment.

【4】What does Professor Goel plan to do next with Jill Watson?

A．Assign her to answer more of students’ questions.

B．Upgrade her intelligence to the level of top scientists.

C．Launch different versions of her online.

D．Encourage students to interact with her more freely.

24、Even though I was no skater, I’d always considered Rochester to be a perfect location for an outdoor skatepark. Despite being a place missing some of the pleasures awarded to big-name cities like New York or Chicago, Rochester developed a do-it-yourself attitude in the pursuit of having fun. 【1】

When I noticed a skate park was being built under the highway on-ramp (匝道)downtown, I was excited ——not because a skate park is a perfect setting to facilitate the DIY charm of Rochester, acting as a sort of melting pot for people of all walks of life to bond together. 【2】 I wanted to not only take a closer look at its physical design but also the sort of crowds it attracted.

【3】Totally clear of any litter, the half pipes, grind rails, and bowls were designed with a consistent blue and yellow color scheme. There were even multicolored rows of tile (瓦片)that lined the top edge of the park’s bowls.

After taking some beautiful photos of the park, I began chatting with Vazquez, manager of the skatepark. 【4】 “Look at all these people. So many people come here to skate. No matter the color of your skin, or your beliefs, everyone is brought together here by skating”, he said . 【5】 While I was walking back over the pavement, the ground under my feet seemed to have a pulse: life’s heartbeat could be found at this park.

A．I took a fancy to skating at an early age.

B．He was believed to be a top-level skater.

C．So, I decided to visit the skatepark for the first time.

D．He enthusiastically and proudly shared something with me.

E．I was struck by how much care went into the park’s repair and design.

F．Soon after my conversation with Vazquez was over, I headed to my car.

G．That breathed unique life into the city and gave it a special Rochester flavor.
