August 7 is National Lighthouse Day. It's a day to celebrate the lights that guide us home and the historic importance of lighthouses and their keepers, who not only guided ships into harbor but also played key roles in naval battles across the globe. Check out these fantastic lighthouses across the globe as well as recommendations on the best places to stay near them.

Parents and math teachers regularly asked by their school-aged charges whether math matters inreal life now have an answer.
In a study published by the National Bureau of Economic Research this week, Harvard Kennedy School Policy Professor Joshua Goodman took a look at what happened to students whose high schools were required in the 1980s to increase the minimum level of coursework required to graduate. What he found is that the students were more likely to increase the number of math courses they took as a result of the change in standards and that translated into higher earnings down the line.
Put simply: About 15 years after they graduated, the high school graduates who went to school when these changes took effect saw their average earnings increase about 10% for every extra year of math coursework. The findings may add fuel to the steady drum of education experts, policy makers and others calling for an increased focus on science and math education.
The increase in required math courses didn’t necessarily produce rocket scientists, Goodman notes, because the extra coursework wasn’t at a particularly high level. But becoming familiar with and practicing ly basic math skills allowed high school graduates to pursue and excel at jobs that required some level of computational knowledge, he said.
Goodman acknowledged that the earnings boost for the students connected with the up tick （上升）in math education may be dependent on the state of the economy. When Goodman checked in the late 1990s and early 2000s on the earnings of the students who graduated in the late 1985，he found that their earnings increased
significantly if they took more math.
4. What does Joshua Goodman’s study find?
A. High school graduates earn more.
B. High school students prefer math.
C. Math matters a lot in one’s income.
D. Math is a compulsory course in school.
5. Why is increase in required math courses useful?
A. It produced rocket scientists.
B. It makes high school students smarter.
C. It meets the requirements of the government.
D. It enables high school graduates to get better jobs.
6. What might be the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To give a warning to policy makers.
B. To seek help for high school students’ problems.
C. To show the great importance of learning math.
D. To tell a struggling history of high school students.
7. What could be the best title for the text?
A. Efforts matter most
B. Math makes money
C. Earnings of different graduates
D. Changes of high school courses
C
In 2015, a man named Nigel Richards memorized 386, 000 words in the entireFrench Scrabble Dictionaryin just nine weeks. However, he does not speak French. Richards’ impressive feat is a useful example to show how artificial intelligence works — real AI. Both of Richard and AI take in massive amounts of data to achieve goals with unlimited memory and superman accuracy in a certain field.
The potential applications for AI are extremely exciting. Because AI canoutperformhumans at routine tasks — provided the task is in one field with a lot of data — it is technically capable of replacing hundreds of millions of white and blue collar jobs in the next 15 years or so.
But not every job will be replaced by AI. In fact, four types of jobs are not at risk at all. First, there are creative
jobs. AI needs to be given a goal to optimize. It cannot invent, like scientists, novelists and artists can. Second, the complex, strategic jobs — executives, diplomats, economists — go well beyond the AI limitation of single-field and Big Data. Then there are the as-yet-unknown jobs that will be created by AI.
Are you worried that these three types of jobs won’t employ as many people as AI will replace? Not to worry, as the fourth type is much larger: jobs where emotions are needed, such as teachers, nannies and doctors. These jobs require compassion, trust and sympathy — which AI does not have. And even if AI tried to fake it, nobody would want a robot telling them they have cancer, or a robot to babysit their children.
So there will still be jobs in the age of AI. The key then must be retraining the workforce so people can do them. This must be the responsibility not just of the government, which can provide funds, but also of corporations and those who benefit most.
8. What is the main purpose of paragraph 1?
A. To introduce the topic.
B. To mention Nigel’s feat.
C. To stress the importance of good memory.
D. To suggest humans go beyond AI in memory.
9. Which of the following best explains “outperform” underlined in paragraph 2?
A. Be superior to
B. Be equal to
C. Be similar to
D. Be related to
10. Which of the following jobs is the most likely to be replaced?
A. The writer.
B. The shop assistant.
C. The babysitter.
D. The psychologist.
11. What does the text suggest people do about job replacement of AI?
A. Limit the application of AI to a certain degree.
B. Get more support from the government.
C. Apply for the donation from companies.
D. Upgrade themselves all the time.
D
I don’t want to talk about being a woman scientistagain. There was a time in my life when people asked constantly for stories about what it’s like to work in a field dominated (controlled) by men. I was never very good at telling those stories because truthfully I never found them interesting. What I do find interesting is the origin of
the universe, the shape of space, time and the nature of black holes.
At 19, when I began studying astrophysics (天体物理学), it did not bother me in the least to be the only woman in the classroom. But while earning my Ph.D. at MIT and then as a post-doctor doing space research, the issue started to bother me. My every achievement — jobs, research papers, awards — was viewed through the lens (镜片) of gender (性别) politics. So were my failures. Sometimes, when I was pushed into an argument on left brain versus (相对于) right brain, or nature versus nurture (培育), I would instantly fight fiercely on my behalf and all womankind.
Then one day a few years ago, out of my mouth came a sentence that would eventually become my reply to any and all provocations (挑衅): I don’t talk about that anymore. It took me 10 years to get back the confidence I had at 19 and to realize that I didn’t want to deal with gender issues. Why should curing sexism be yet another terrible burden on every female scientist? After all, I don’t study sociology or political theory.
Today I research and teach at Barnard, a women’s college in New York City. Recently, someone asked me how many of the 45 students in my class were women. You cannot imagine my satisfaction at being able to answer, 45.
I know some of my students worry how they will manage their scientific research and a desire for children. And I don’t dismiss those concerns. Still, I don’t tell them “war” stories. Instead, I have given them this: the visual of their physics professor heavily pregnant doing physics experiments. And in turn they have given me the image of 45 women driven by a love of science. And that’s a sight worth talking about.
12. Why doesn’t the author want to talk about being a woman scientist again?
A. She is fed up with the issue of gender discrimination (歧视).
B. She feels unhappy working in male-dominated fields.
C. She is not good at telling stories of the kind.
D. She finds space research more important.
13. From Paragraph 2, we can infer that people would attribute (把……归因于) the author’s failures to ________.
A. the burden she bears in a male-dominated society
B. her involvement in gender politics
C. her over-confidence as a female astrophysicist
D. the very fact that she is a woman
14. What did the author constantly fight against while doing her Ph.D. and post-doctoral research?
A. Lack of confidence in succeeding in space science.
B. Unfair accusations from both inside and outside her circle.
C. People’s fixed attitude toward female scientists.
D. Widespread misconceptions about nature and nurtured.
15. What does the image the author presents to her students suggest?
A. Women students needn’t have the concerns of her generation.
B. Women can balance a career in science and having a family.
C. Women have more barriers on their way to academic success.
D. Women now have fewer problems pursuing a science career.

I had moved to Arizona about two weeks before the start of my junior year of high school, so not only was this a new school for me, but also a new state and I did not know anyone.
On the first day of school at lunch after getting my meal, I sat down at a table in the courtyard. As I began to eat, I looked around at the other tables and saw another girl sitting alone, so I decided to go and sit with her. Anyway, there was no reason for me to have a whole table to myself, and who knew maybe I could make a friend. I walked to check and said, “Excuse me, do you mind if I sit with you?” She was surprised at first, but then smiled and said, “No, I don't!”
We hit it off immediately and became close friends throughout the next two years. Towards the end of our senior year, she told me that she had been accepted to an out - of - state college and would be moving away after graduation. I was sad that I would miss her but at the same time was really happy for her.
She then shared with me something very moving. “Do you remember the first day of school when you came over and sat down with me during lunch?” she asked. “Of course! Why do you ask?” I replied.
She continued, “I want to let you know how special you are and that you make a difference. I was severely depressed that day, because something unhappy had happened to me that morning. I had been being sad since the morning and nobody realized my sadness. It had just broken me down. If you hadn't appeared, I would be
probably in deep sadness for a long time after I got home from school.”

【56题详解】
考查定语从句。

句意：那是许多年轻人渴望出国的时候。

分析句子结构可知，这是一个定语从句，先行词是time，关系词在从句中作时间状语，因此，应该用关系副词when引导定语从句。

故which改为when。

【57题详解】
考查动词时态。

句意：前几天我确实看到了，我简直不敢相信自己的眼睛。

根据时间状语the other day 可知，事情发生在过去，谓语动词应该使用一般过去时。

故do 改为did。

【58题详解】
考查非谓语动词。

由于没有做好充分的准备，他们推迟了会议。

分析句意可知，make full preparations与逻辑主语they 之间是主动关系，因此，应该使用现在分词的主动形式作状语。

故删除been。

【59题详解】
考查固定搭配和定语从句。

他过去害怕的那条狗现在成了他最喜欢的动物。

短语be afraid of 意为“害怕”，介词of 后跟宾语，这是一个定语从句，先行词是The dog，且关系词which在从句中作宾语，因此，在关系词which之前加介词of，或者将of置于从句中afraid 之后。

故which前加of 或者afraid后加of
【60题详解】
考查虚拟语气。

句意：我建议他尽量避免吃垃圾食品。

根据句意可知，recommended 在该句中表示建议，所接的宾语从句一般用虚拟语气，其虚拟语气的结构为should+原形动词，should可以省。

故avoided改为avoid。

【61题详解】
考查固定句型。

句意：人们普遍认为女人能顶半边天。

根据句意可知，固定句型it is acknowledged意为“人们普遍认为，公认……”，此处应该使用过去分词acknowledged。

故acknowledge改为acknowledged。

62题详解】
考查副词。

句意：现代科技使我们工作和生活更舒适。

分析可知，副词comfortably作状语修饰动词live 。

故comfortable改为comfortably。

【63题详解】
考查动词时态。

句意：这是她第一次来桂林，她真的很喜欢。

固定句型It is/was the first time that…意为“某人第几次做某事”，这是that引导的定语从句，主句用一般过去时was时，从句谓语动词用过去完成时。

故has改为had。

【64题详解】
考查固定短语。

句意：没有你的帮助，提前完成任务是不可能的。

固定短语out of the question意为“不可能”。

故a改为the。

【65题详解】
考查名词复数。

句意：这项活动将是2021年的重要周年纪念之一。

固定短语one of 修饰可数名词复数。

故anniversary改为anniversaries
52.略。
