【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章解释了人类为什么擅长耐力跑的原因。
【1题详解】
考查连接副词。句意：加州大学圣地亚哥分校的阿吉特·瓦尔基教授解释说，生物学家已经发现了一种突变基因，这或许可以解释为什么人类如此擅长耐力跑。根据空格前的explain和空格后的句子可知，空格处应该填入一个连词引导从句，且意义为“为什么”，所以应该用连接副词why。故填why。
【2题详解】
考查代词。句意：许多动物都能短距离奔跑，但除了马、狼和鸵鸟外，很少有动物能耐力奔跑。根据上文的many animals和转折连词but可知，空格处的词和many相反，应该用few。故填few。
3题详解】
考查介词。句意：人类是非常不寻常的，因为只要你的身体状况合理，我们就可以以持续的速度跑很长的距离。in … cnditin“在……状态下”是固定搭配。故填in。
【4题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：CMAH是已知的第一个可能与耐力赛跑有关的基因——它已经存在了大约5亿年，但在我们的祖先中消失了。空格处引导定语从句，对先行词gene进行限定说明，从句中缺少主语，且先行词前有序数词first修饰，所以应该用关系代词代替先行词在从句中作主语。故填that。
【5题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：这种基因产生一种酶，在细胞表面的分子上添加一个额外的氧原子，称为唾液酸。空格处用非谓语动词作定语，修饰前面的名词enzyme，动词add与enzyme之间是主动关系，所以，应该用现在分词形式adding作定语。故填adding。
【6题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：在整个身体中，唾液酸使细胞之间相互作用。enable smebdy/smething t d“使某人/某物做某事”是固定搭配，所以，空格处应该用不定式作补足语。故填t interact。
【7题详解】
考查时态。句意：我们仍然有相同数量的总唾液酸，但由于大约2-3百万年前CMAH基因的突变，我们失去了一种主要形式，这与我们的祖先获得长距离跑步能力的时间相一致。空格处是定语从句的谓语动词，根据前面的时间状语abut 2-3 millin years ag可知，描述过去发生的事，应该用一般过去时。故填cincided。
【8题详解】
考查连词。句意：其中一个是压力测试：我们把正常老鼠和突变老鼠放在跑步机上，让它们一直跑到精疲力竭为止。空格后的部分是时间状语从句，所以，空格处应该填入一个连词且意义为“直到……”，应该用until/till。故填until/till。
【9题详解】
考查时态、语态和主谓一致。句意：重要的是，这些老鼠没有经过训练。空格处是谓语动词，由上文的内容可知，描述过去发生的事，应该用一般过去时，主语thse mice和动词train之间是被动关系，所以，应该用被动语态，主语是复数形式，be动词用were。故填were nt trained。
【10题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：起初并没有太大的区别，但经过10-15天，人源化小鼠的情况有所好转。空格处用非谓语动词作定语，修饰后面的名词mice，动词humanise与名词mice之间是被动关系，所以，应该用过去分词humanised作定语。故填humanised。

It’s a burden n his shulders: he was the last hpe fr passing his language dwn t his children and allwing it t live at least ne mre generatin.
UNESCO reprts that in Eurpe alne, there are 640 languages currently in danger f extinctin, with anther 228 n lnger spken. With the influence f English acrss the internet arund the wrld, there’s been talk f languages dying ut faster than ever befre. The Guardian recently reprted n the lw status f Icelandic due in large part t the use f English nline. Every language isn’t autmatically supprted nline. The languages yu can use the mst ften are the languages mst widely spken in the wrld.
What happens t culture when a language dies? Every language reflects a unique wrld-view with its wn value systems, philsphy and particular cultural features. The extinctin f a language results in the irrecverable lss f unique cultural knwledge. When a language belnging t peple in the Amazn dies, s t des that peple’s knwledge f the rainfrest, hw they discuss and interpret certain aspects f hw t live in and with that envirnment and the uses fr plants that may still be unknwn t the rest f the wrld.
Knwledge f the wrld isn’t the nly aspect f culture that language is intimately tied t: language frms a critical aspect f a persn’s and a cmmunity’s identity as well. Because language disclses cultural and histrical meaning, the lss f language is a lss f that link t the past.
The lss f language, and therefre that cultural identity, can als lead t wrse mental health within that cmmunity. A study published in 2007 in the jurnal Cgnitive Develpment lked at the link between language knwledge and yuth suicide rates amng the abriginal (土著) ppulatin in British Clumbia. The results shwed that yuth suicide rates effectively drpped t zer in thse few cmmunities in which at least half the band members reprted a cnversatinal knwledge f their wn native language.
36. Amade Garcia shulders the respnsibility f ________.
A. preserving the dying language f his wn culture
B. giving birth t mre children in the Amazn
C. intrducing his mther tngue in interviews
D. prtecting the Amazn fr at least ne mre generatin
37. The underlined phrase “the lw status” in this passage refers t “________”.

T the average persn, it must seem as if the field f artificial intelligence is making great achievement. Accrding t sme f the media accunts and press releases, OpenAI’s DALL-E2 can seemingly create spectacular images frm any text; and a system called Gat that was released in May by DeepMind, reprtedly wrked well n every task the cmpany culd thrw at it. One f the DeepMind’s high-level executives even went s far as t bast that in pursuing AI that has the flexibility and resurcefulness f human intelligence—knwn as artificial general intelligence, r AGI—“the game is ver.”
Dn’t be fled.
AI is getting better-synthetic images lk mre and mre realistic, and speech recgnitin can ften wrk in nisy envirnments-but we are still likely decades away frm general-purpse, human-level AI that can understand the true meanings f articles and vides r deal with unexpected barriers and interruptins. The field is stuck n precisely the same challenges that academic scientists have been pinting ut fr years: getting AI t be reliable and getting it t cpe with unusual circumstances.
Take DALL-E2. It culdn’t tell the difference between an image f a red cube n tp f a blue versus an image f a blue cube n tp f a red cube. A newer system, released this past May, culdn’t tell the difference between an astrnaut riding a hrse and hrse riding an astrnaut.
When image-creating systems like DALL-E2 make mistakes, the result can be amusing. But smetimes errrs prduced by AI cause serius cnsequences. A Tesla n autpilt recently drve directly tward a human wrker carrying a stp sign in the middle f the rad, slwing dwn nly when the human driver tk actin. The system culd recgnize humans n their wn and stp signs in their usual lcatins but failed t slw dwn when faced with the unfamiliar cmbinatin f the tw, which put the stp sign in a new and unusual psitin.
Unfrtunately, the fact that these systems still fail t wrk reliably and struggle with nvel circumstances is usually buried in the fine print. Gat, fr instance, wrked well n all the tasks DeepMind reprted but rarely as well as ther cntemprary systems. A lk at recent headlines, hwever, wuldn’t tell yu abut any f these prblems.
Fr nw we are trapped in a “lcal minimum” in which cmpanies pursue benchmarks rather than fundatinal ideas. Current engineering practice is far ahead f scientific skills: these departments fcus n making small imprvements with the prly understd tls they already have rather than develping new technlgies with a clearer theretical grund. This is why basic research remains crucial. That a large part f the AI research cmmunity (like thse wh shut, “Game ver”) desn’t even see that is, well, heartbreaking.
43. What des the DeepMind’s executive mean by “the game is ver” (paragraph 1)?
A. AGI is quite a frustrating area.
B. There has been great prgress in AGI.
C. N mre investment shuld be put int AGI.
D. Technlgy cmpanies has put t much emphasis n AGI.
44. The Tesla n autpilt is mentined in paragraph 5 in rder t illustrate that ________.
A. cnsequences caused by AI can be amusing
B. AI is reliable in handling familiar situatins
C. Tesla cars are nt a gd example f autpilt
D. AI cannt deal well with unexpected circumstances
45. It can be inferred frm the passage that the writer thinks that ________.
A. mre light shuld be cast n successful AI cmpanies
B. mre specific training prgrammes shuld be created fr AI
C. mre fundamental technlgies shuld be develped fr AI
D. mre reliable benchmarks shuld be established fr AI prducts

推理判断题。根据文章第一段“One f the DeepMind’s high-level executives even went s far as t bast that in pursuing AI that has the flexibility and resurcefulness f human intelligence—knwn as artificial general intelligence, r AGI—“the game is ver.”(DeepMind的一位高层管理人员甚至大放厥词，声称在追求具有人类智能的灵活性和足智多谋的人工智能——即通用人工智能（AGI）方面，“大局已定”。)”可知，DeepMind的高管在谈到通用人工智能（AGI）时表示“the game is ver”，并且前文提到OpenAI的DALL-E2和DeepMind的Gat系统似乎都取得了显著成果。这里的“the game is ver”通常用来表示某件事情已经结束或大局已定，结合上下文，可以理解为在通用人工智能领域已经取得了显著的进步。故选B。
【44题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第五段“A Tesla n autpilt recently drve directly tward a human wrker carrying a stp sign in the middle f the rad, slwing dwn nly when the human driver tk actin.

D Weird (古怪的) Peple Make Better Artists?
In ne published experiment (there was a whle series f them), the participants were shwn ne f the tw pictures f an imaginary artists called Stefassn. One was an rdinary-lking male in his twenties, while the ther was a man f the same age wh “had lng hair” and “had nt shaved fr several days”.
The results were interesting. The peple wh were shwn the untidy Stefassn liked his wiled, uncnventinal art mre than thse wh were shwn the clean-shaven, suit-wearing Stefassn. The researchers say this preference is due t ur desire fr “sincerity” in an artist. What they mean by “sincerity” is that an artist’s style and appearance shuld g tgether. It sunds like a nble idea, but in fact, a huge bdy f great art, literature and music was created by artists wh did nt lk weird. Are we suppsed t label these lt f classic wrks bring and insincere? If s, we wuld miss an awful lt f classic wrks, like Bach’s musical cmpsitins and Shakespeare’s pems.
We are t much in lve with the uncnventinal frms f art and the uncnventinal types that prduce them. It is a strange srt f blindness t the fact that a lt f gd art has been prduced by peple wh were mdels f cnventinality.

Larry White, ne f the funders f literary mdernism, set ut t lk perfectly clrless in his suit and hat, just s he culd fade int the backgrund. It is the gap between their bring appearance and their wild inner wrld that makes these creatrs s attractive.

【详解】考查时态、宾语从句。表示“这位世界游泳冠军的教练”用the wrld swimming champin’s cach，作主语，句首单词首字母大写。表示“主张”用maintain，本句描述一般事实，时态用一般现在时，主语为第三人称单数，谓语也用第三人称单数。表示“不同年龄段有各自应该培养的技能”用宾语从句，宾语从句中：表示“不同年龄组别”用different age grups，作主语；表示“应该”用情态动词shuld；表示“培养”用develp，位于shuld后，用动词原形；表示“他们自己的特殊技能”用their wn specific skills，作shuld develp的宾语；从句不缺少成分或含义，用that引导。故翻译为The wrld swimming champin’s cach maintains that different age grups shuld develp their wn specific skills.
55. 这家野生动物园推出了新项目，游客可以近距离观察珍稀动物，并为它们制作早餐。(which) (汉译英)
________________________________________________________________
【答案】This wildlife park has launched a new prject which allws visitrs t bserve rare animals clsely and make breakfast fr them.
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句和时态。表示“这家野生动物园”应用this wildlife park；表示“推出了”应用launch，此处表示过去发生的事情对现在产生影响，使用现在完成时，主语为单数名词，助动词用has；表示“一个新项目”应用a new prject；“游客可以近距离观察珍稀动物，并为它们制作早餐”是非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词prject，先行词指物，关系词在定语从句中作主语，应用关系代词which引导；从句使用一般现在时，陈述客观事实，表示“允许某人做某事”应用allw sb. t d sth.，which指代prject，谓语动词使用第三人称单数形式；表示“游客”应用visitrs；表示“近距离观察珍稀动物”应用bserve rare animals clsely；表示“并且”应用and；表示“为它们制作早餐”应用make breakfast fr them；bserve和make位于动词不定式符号t后面，使用动词原形。故翻译成：This wildlife park has launched a new prject, which allws visitrs t bserve rare animals clsely and make breakfast fr them.。
