I was 4 years old. Elmont was a wonderful place to grow up. There were lots of kids, great schools and we had a big yard. My father, Nicholas Denaro, believed that grass was not just to look at, but that children were meant to play on it. We played games and badminton there. A white fence separated our backyard from a small wood. My friends and I jumped the fence and entered the woods.My father had the most amazing hand. He could fix anything. He gave those amazing hands to his son, my younger brother, Frank, who also became handy around the house. But my father saved his green fingers for me. He grew flowers, tomatoes, strawberries and figs（无花果） and he shared his love of gardening with me.Fourteen years ago, I went to a local nursery and bought a fig tree for Dad for Fathers Day. My mother, Bridget Denaro, called it the best gift I could have given him. He planted it exactly in the middle of the front yard.He loved that tree and enjoyed delicious figs every year, except just after Sandy hit in 2012. He was so disappointed when cold weather just after the super storm froze all the remaining figs.In 2015, my father died of aspirating pneumonia(呼吸性肺炎) at 97. We sold our family home of 61 years last year. We left behind Dads tree, full of figs waiting to ripen. We considered taking it with us, but decided that his Fathers Day fig tree belonged to Elmont.

By the year 2050 that number is expected to rise to 3 billion tons. The World Bank estimates that the largest amount of trash today, about 44 percent, is plastic. But we often have to buy packaged goods. And often that packaging is made of plastic.Now, that may be changing. A new environmentally-friendly shopping model was recently launched at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. This shopping model, called Loop, aims to replace throwaway containers with reusable ones.Loop is the idea of Terra Cycle, an American-based recycling company. Its chief, Tom Szaky. told the Associated Press (AP) that “removing plastics from the ocean is not enough.” He said the point is to get away from single-use packages. Szaky said that Loop is the future of shopping. But it comes from an idea of the past.He compared it to the “milkman model” of the 1950s in the United States. Back then, someone brought milk to your doorstep in glass bottles and then left with empty bottles. These could be cleaned and used again. The result is zero-waste.Jennifer Morgan from the environmental non-profit organization Greenpeace also joined in the discussion about Loop at Davos. She said that “Greenpeace welcomes the aim of the Loop Alliance to move away from throwaway culture and disposability.” But Morgan questioned whether companies worldwide are ready to change their business models.Loop is set to launch later this year in three eastern U.S. states, and also in Paris, France and some of the surrounding area. Then Loop plans to expand to the U.S. West Coast, Toronto, Canada and Britain by the end of this year or 2020.8. What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 2?A. Provide background information.B. Advocate zero-waste lifestyle.C. Explain the reason for trash.D. Introduce a new topic.9. Where docs the idea “Loop” come from?A. The World Economic Forum.B. Demand of some companies.C. Zero-waste model.D. The milkman model.10. Which countries is Loop expected to expand to by 2020?A. United States and Switzerland.B. Switzerland and Britain.C. Canada and Britain.D. France and Canada.11. What is the text mainly about?A. A new shopping model.B. The development of future city.C. The worlds environmental issue.D. The concerns of future shopping.【答案】8. A 9. C 10. D 11. A【解析】本文是一篇环境保护类短文阅读。文章主要介绍美国一家公司推出一种新的“零浪费”购物模式。【8题详解】推理判断题。根据文章第二段The worlds cities produce 2 billion tons of trash every year.

And now, a new painter is ready to join the list, although this one isnt even human.Next month, the auction house Christies Prints and Multiples will make history by offering the first piece of art work created by artificial intelligence (AI) for sale. The painting is a portrait of a man called Edmond De Belamy, and is expected to be sold for up to $10,000.The work, which features a man with a mysterious look on his face, was created by software developed by the French art group Obvious. Laugero-Lasserre, an art collector, called the work grotesqueand amazing at the same time. This isnt the first example of AI-produced artwork, as AI has already been used to write poems and compose songs. However, many people doubt whether it should be called art at all.According to Russian writer Leo Tolstroy (1828 -1910), art is about creating emotion (情感). Its a means of joining people together in the same feelings, he once said.So, if the emotion behind art is what makes it, the ability to create and use tools is what makes human beings different from other species. And as a tool itself, the AI technology used to create the portrait is the result of a lot of effort made by several designers. Together, they fed the AI a huge collection of paintings from the 14th to the 18th centuries, until it was able to work out how to make similar paintings of its own.The introduction of AI art could be the beginning of a new artistic movement. However, not everyone is ready to welcome these high-tech artists just yet.The human mind is whats behind the AI technology. And the human mind is not a cold hard fact, said Oscar Schwartz, a professor of AI. Rather, it is something thats created with our opinions and something that changes over time.12. Why does the author mention the artists in Paragraph 1?A. To introduce their works.B. To make an advertisement.C. To present a piece of news.D. To focus the topic on the AI.13. What does the underlined would grotesque in Paragraph 3 mean?A. Strange.B. Simple.C. Messy.D. Understandable.14. What can we learn about the AI-produced artwork according to Paragraph 5?A. It comes from human works.B. It shows human ability to create.C. It expresses human feelings effectively.D. It is beyond the imagination of humans.15. What does Oscar Schwartz think the human mind is compared with the AI ?A. Limited.B. Decisive.C. Useless.D. Meaningful.【答案】12. D 13. A 14. A 15. B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了人们通过人工智能在艺术创作方面运用。【12题详解】推理判断题。根据后文And now, a new painter is ready to join the list, although this one isnt even human. Next month, the auction house Christies Prints and Multiples will make history by offering the first piece of art work created by artificial intelligence (AI) for sale.可知现在，一位新画家也准备加入达芬奇他们这个画家行列，这个画家不是人类而是人工智能（AI）。下个月，佳士得拍卖行将首次拍卖由人工智能(AI)创作的艺术品，从而创造历史。这说明作者在第一段提到达芬奇这些画家是为了将话题引到AI上面，介绍人工智能创作了自己的绘画作品这一话题，故选D项。【13题详解】词义猜测题。根据前文The work, which features a man with a mysterious look on his face, 可知这幅画描绘的是一个脸上带着神秘表情的男人。根据画线词后的“and amazing at the same time”可知，艺术收藏家Laugero-Lasserre认为这幅作品既 又令人惊叹，推断画线词词义为与amazing是冲突的。结合上下文，这里将grotesque理解成“奇怪的”最符合语境，故选A项。【14题详解】细节理解题。根据第五段中的Together, they fed the AI a huge collection of paintings from the 14th to the 18th centuries, until it was able to work out how to make similar paintings of its own.可知设计师一起“喂养”了人工智能从14世纪到18世纪的大量绘画作品，直到人工智能能够自己制作出类似的绘画作品。也就是人工智能创造的作品是来源于人类作品的，故选A项。【15题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“The human mind is whats behind the AI technology.”可知，Oscar Schwartz认为人工智能技术背后是人类的思维，也就是说人类的思维起决定性作用，故B项正确。【点睛】在推理判断题中，有一类题是要求考生判断某人的观点态度。这种观点态度题一定要抓住人物在文中所说的话，例如本篇第4题，根据最后一段中Oscar Schwartz所说的“The human mind is whats behind the AI technology.”可知，他认为人工智能技术背后是人类的思维。也就说他认为人类的思维起决定性作用，由此得出正确答案B项。第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Have you ever noticed that when your friend likes something, you like it，too.
