Subtler star’s shines bright

Every once in a while, a movie star comes along who has a personality that shines as brightly off screen as it does in their films. And for nearly 40 years, American actress and producer Frances McDormand has been one such movie star.

Since 1984, she has starred in more than 50 films and television shows. McDormand won her first two Oscars for her roles in the film Fargo in 1997 and Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri in 2018. Most recently, she won her third Best Actress award at the 93rd Academy Awards for her role in Nomadland. In the film, McDormand plays Fern, a poor migrant worker who lives out of her van while traveling the United States looking for odd jobs.

Although McDormand won the hearts of many early on in her career, there was a time when she didn’t enjoy being a celebrity, and even stopped speaking to the media for a number of years. During an interview with Yahoo News in 2015, she explained, “I was starting to not like the job of acting because it also involved not just the promotion of what I’d done, but myself.”

However, as she was convinced that her place in the spotlight gave her the ability to reach millions of people, McDormand decided to use that power for something positive. In the years since, she has continued to portray complex female characters that challenge ideas of what a woman is supposed to be. Also, at 63 years old, she often discusses how important it is for society to change its views about aging, especially with regard to women.

One of her biggest headline moments came in 2018 during her acceptance speech for her second Best Actress award. She used the opportunity to encourage her colleagues to be more mindful of the “Inclusion Rider”, something that actors and producers can ask for in their contracts that guarantees the movies they work on will hire a diverse crew that includes women, people in black, Asian and Latino communities, or those with disabilities.

According to Refinery29, McDormand will continue using her power to change the system that she lives and works in Hollywood.

4. Why did McDormand avoid the media?

A. She got tired of acting. B. She disliked self-promotion.

C. She was fed up with fake news. D. She suffered a failure in her career.

5. What makes McDormand want to continue acting?

A Her desire for power and fame. B. Her awareness of her selfishness.

C. Her fear of being forgotten. D. Her will to make a difference.

6. What does the article tell us about the “Inclusion Rider”?

A. It was first proposed by Frances McDormand.

B. It is a necessary part of actors’ contracts.

C. It helps boost gender and racial diversity of movie crews.

D. It aims to boost employment in the film industry.

7. What can we learn from McDormand?

A. It’s never too old to learn. B. It is unnecessary to strive for perfection.

C. We should use our ability to create a better world. D. We should take responsibility for our actions.

【答案】4. B    5. D    6. C    7. C

【解析】

Traveling through time

As children, we dream of growing older; when we are older, we dream of being children. We let our lives pass us by because we have yet to learn that the harder you yearn for time, the faster it passes. This is how my story begins.

In October of my freshman year, I took an accidental trip down memory lane. One day after school, I decided to take the long way home. I needed time to think. So off I went, walking through the grass. That was how I came to find a gap in the fence lining the school property. I passed through this gap and followed the treeline until I found myself in the far fields behind the neighborhood.

Suddenly, I remembered it was here through the fence between the school and the fields that I watched older kids having their high school graduation ceremony. In cap and gown （长袍）, they stood in the middle of the field. They looked like they were having the most fun I had ever seen anyone have; they looked free.

Years later, I walked through that field on my way home from that same high school. The soccer nets were long gone, and the paint lines had washed away with the rain, but there it was, just as I remembered it. The old field felt like a moment trapped in time, a long-forgotten memory. Here I was, standing in between my past and my present and trying so hard to figure out just how all of those years had passed me by so quickly. The gap in the fence seemed like a distinct line between my years. A doorway between 5 and 15.

I’ve since given this place a name, Tempus Illud, a place between places. I try to take the long way home at least once a month now. Sometimes, when I cross that bridge, I see that younger version of myself. She is so young and so desperate to speed up time. I see her peering through the fence at those graduates in the cap and gown, and she’s wishing she could be just like them. She, too, could feel so free that she might just grow wings and fly away. Now I’m preparing to wear the cap and gown in a few short months. But this time, I wish to leave time to its own devices.

The harder you yearn for time, the faster it passes you by. So I no longer yearn. The passage of time is inevitable, and you can’t avoid it, but you can appreciate it. James Taylor sings, “The secret of life is enjoying the passage of time … Nobody knows how we got to the top of the hill, but since we’re on our way down, we might as well enjoy the ride.”

8. How did the author feel when she saw the older kids’ graduation ceremony?

A. Jealous. B. Curious.

C. Admiring. D. Unconcerned.

9. What is the significance of Tempus Illud to the author?

A. It honors her best childhood memory.

B. It bridges her past, present and future.

C. It shows the miracle of frozen time.

D. It symbolizes high school graduation.

10. What is the author’s perspective on time at the end?

A. She is addicted to the past. B. She yearns for time to pass quicker.

C. She wants to run after time. D. She decides to enjoy the moment.

11. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the article?

A. To suggest that time brings the truth to light.

B. To show that tough times never last.

C. To explain how time changes everything.

D. To share her changing attitude toward time.

【答案】8. C    9. B    10. D    11. D

【解析】

【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者回想过去，分享了她对时间的态度变化。

【8题详解】

【10题详解】

细节理解题。根据最后一段“The passage of time is inevitable, and you can’t avoid it, but you can appreciate it. James Taylor sings, “The secret of life is enjoying the passage of time … Nobody knows how we got to the top of the hill, but since we’re on our way down, we might as well enjoy the ride.”（ 时间的流逝是不可避免的，你无法避免它，但你可以享受它。詹姆斯·泰勒唱道:“生命的秘密就是享受时间的流逝……没有人知道我们是如何到达山顶的，但既然我们正在下山，我们不妨享受这段旅程。”）”可知，作者决定享受这一刻。故选D。

【11题详解】

A new website will allow anyone in the world to access millions of wildlife photos taken by camera traps.

Researchers in the field often use camera traps to photograph the lives of animals. These fixed cameras have a sensor （传感器） that is started by heat or movement, letting researchers monitor animals without disturbing them.

The traps can be used for months at a time, sometimes taking hundreds of thousands of pictures. But these images, and the valuable information they reveal, usually just sit on researchers’ hard drives, unavailable to anyone else, according to Jorge Ahumada, a scientist of environmental nonprofit Conservation International.

So Ahumada started creating an online platform where researchers could share their photos. Wildlife Insights was launched in December 2019 as the world’s largest camera-trap database, hosting over 4.5 million images.

As well as making images available to other researchers, the site uses Artificial Intelligence （AI） designed by Google to overcome a key problem with these kinds of photos: Camera traps produce lots of images to manually analyze, says Ahumada, many of which are blank images. Manually sorting and deleting these photos is a laborious task.

To solve that, after someone uploads images to the Wildlife Insights database, its AI examines if the images were taken from a camera trap and automatically removes all blank images. If there is an animal in the image, the AI will identify the species. Now the AI recognizes about 450 animal species, which Ahumada says will increase over time as more images are collected from all parts of the world.

Apart from collecting and reviewing the images, the platform will provide analytics （数据分析） that could show trends in species’ population for different projects. That information could help researchers understand whether a species is increasing its range or if its numbers are falling.

While open access is key, the platform has taken steps to make sure this information doesn’t get into the wrong hands. “You will have to ask Wildlife Insights for permission to get the locations of the images,” said Ahumada. “That is an examination process that we will manage carefully because we know that poachers （偷猎者） and other people with illegal purposes will use this information to find endangered species.”

12. What do we know about photos taken by camera traps?

A. They may be blank images.

B. They are available to all wildlife lovers.

C. They can be uploaded to the database by AI.

D. They can be used for photography competitions.

13. What does the underlined word “laborious” in paragraph 5 probably mean?

A. Basic. B. Major. C. Tough. D. Complex.

14. What’s the function of AI on the site?

A. Download photos from the platform.

B. Identify the location of the images.

C. Monitor animals through camera traps.

D. Remove blank images.

15. What is the last paragraph mainly about?

A. The importance of using AI.

B. The importance of keeping the information safe.

C. The importance of starting an examination process.

D. The importance of protecting endangered animals.

【答案】12. A    13. C    14. D    15. B

【解析】

【分析】本文是说明文。本文讲述了一个将允许世界上任何人访问数百万野生动物的新网站，该网站还从事着人工智能删除空白照片和保护照片安全的任务。

【12题详解】

细节理解题。根据第五段“As well as making images available to other researchers, the site uses Artificial Intelligence （AI） designed by Google to overcome a key problem with these kinds of photos: Camera traps produce lots of images to manually analyze, says            Ahumada, many of which are blank images. ”（除了向其他研究人员提供图像，该网站还使用了谷歌设计的人工智能(AI)，以克服这类照片的一个关键问题:Ahumada说，相机陷阱产生大量图像，需要手工分析，其中许多是空白图像。）可知，由相机陷阱拍摄的照片可能是空白图像。故选A。

【13题详解】

词句猜测题。根据第五段“Camera traps produce lots of images to manually analyze, says Ahumada, many of which are blank images. ”（相机陷阱产生大量图像，需要手工分析，其中许多是空白图像。）以及“ Manually sorting and deleting these photos is a laborious task.”可知手动分类和删除这些空白照片是一项艰巨的任务。tough是艰难的。故选C。

【14题详解】

细节理解题。根据第五段“the site uses Artificial Intelligence （AI） designed by Google to overcome a key problem with these kinds of photos: Camera traps produce lots of images to manually analyze, says Ahumada, many of which are blank images. ”（该网站还使用了谷歌设计的人工智能(AI)，以克服这类照片的一个关键问题:Ahumada说，相机陷阱产生大量图像，需要手工分析，其中许多是空白图像。）可知，网站使用了人工智能以删除这类空白照片。故选D。

【15题详解】

主旨大意题。根据最后一段“While open access is key, the platform has taken steps to make sure this information doesn’t get into the wrong hands. （虽然开放获取是关键，但该平台已经采取措施确保这些信息不会落入坏人之手）可知，最后一段讲述的是确保信息安全的重要性。故选B。

【分析】这是一篇说明文。果蝇是一种被成熟或腐烂的水果和蔬菜吸引的小昆虫。果蝇不仅吃水果，而且还在那里产卵。文章介绍了对付果蝇的方法和如何设置陷阱捕捉它们。

【16题详解】

根据上文“Fruit flies are tiny insects that are attracted by ripe or rotting fruits and vegetables. The flies not only eat the fruit, but also lay their eggs there.(果蝇是一种被成熟或腐烂的水果和蔬菜吸引的小昆虫。果蝇不仅吃水果，而且还在那里产卵)”可知，上文提到果蝇在水果上产卵，可推测本句是在说明对果蝇的看法。A选项中They指代上文Fruit flies。故A选项“它们太恶心了”符合语境，故选A。

19题详解】

根据后文“First, fill a small bowl with a few spoons of vinegar. Then, put a piece of very ripe or rotting fruit into the vinegar.

【20题详解】

根据上文“If all goes according to plan, the flies will enter the trap through the holes.(如果一切按计划进行，果蝇就会从陷阱的洞口进入陷阱)”以及后文“You can either kill these flies or release them outdoors.(你可以杀死这些果蝇或把它们放到户外)”可知，这一装置可以抓住果蝇，从而更容易杀死它们或放生，故B选项“它会抓住所有剩下的果蝇”符合语境，故选B。
