Runners and Cyclists Use GPS Mapping to Make Art

Fitness apps and the power of live satellite tracking have allowed runners, cyclists and others to draw hearts,

animals, birthday wishes — and even homages to Vermeer — across their local landscapes.

In 1665, Johannes Vermeer dabbed (轻涂) the last drop of paint onto a canvas (帆布) in his Dutch studio,

___21___ (complete) his masterpiece “Girl with a Pearl Earring.” On an April day 357 years later, Janine Strong

slowed her bike to stop, paused her fitness app, and watched as the snaking line of her cycling route ___22___

(draw) the shape of Vermeer’s masterpiece over the streets of Brooklyn.

Ms. Strong creates ___23___ has come to be known as “GPS art” — a practice ___24___ uses the Global

Positioning System mapping capabilities of modern phone apps like Strava to create digital drawings using an

athlete’s route across the landscape. ___25___ of biking on a straight path or in circles around a park, Ms. Strong

plans her rides in the shapes of birthday cakes, stars, birds, lions — and the occasional Vermeer.

The hobby has grown with the widespread availability of satellite tracking for use by ordinary people, in

fitness apps like Nike Run Club or MapMyRide. It is now a popularity on Strava often ___26___ (refer) to as

“Strava art.”

Strava art has existed since that app’s release in 2009, but it experienced a sudden increase in use during the

pandemic (疫情). According to Michael Joseph, a senior communications manager at the company, more than three

billion activities ___27___ (upload) to Strava since the beginning of 2020.

To complete her digital vision of “Girl with a Pearl Earring,” Ms. Strong biked almost 50 miles around

southern Brooklyn, carefully checking Strava ___28___ (make) sure that each turn, circle, and straightaway was

achieving the iconic earring and head covering of Vermeer’s original. “I always have a big smile on my face

Outdoor Play Benefits Kids’ Mental RestorationMany of the psychological benefits of outdoor play are

already well established. Our brains ____31____ in natural landscapes, and our perceptual (感知的) systems are

particularly well suited to wild outdoor spaces.

This means that natural scenes provide the perfect level of ____32____, which is thought to help recharge the

brain when it is tired and easily distractable. Supporting this theory, one study found that children with

attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) were better able to ____33____ following a 20-minute walk in the

park, compared to a 20-minute walk on the streets of a well-kept urban area. Being exposed to grass and trees

seemed to have had a beneficial effect on their minds. The authors recommended using such “doses (剂量) of

nature” as a safe and ____34____ way of supporting children with ADHD, alongside other tools.

Besides these ____35____ effects, outdoor play can offer valuable learning experiences. For example, playing

with mud or sand can help children develop the way their senses and movement ____36____, which allows the

child to gradually understand his or her bodily signals.

Such activities — away from the house or classroom — may also help children to find ways to cope with

emotions that may be hard to ____37____ in other environments. So-called “sand tray therapy”, which involves

using sand and clay to express one’s thoughts and feelings, is an accepted form of counselling for children who are

struggling to ____38____ their emotional state.

When it comes to the child’s physical health, the most obvious advantage of outdoor play may be the exercise.

A child may find it easier to build up strength and endurance in a large open space resulting in a(n) ____39____

risk of overweight, according to one study led by Elizabeth Gershoff, professor of human development and family

sciences at the University of Texas at Austin, US.

The latest findings, however, suggest there could be a(n) ____40____ of other advantages to playing in natural

试卷第5页，共14页

environments — and the secret may be alive in the mud itself.

六、完形填空

Does a reassuring touch on the back bring you comfort during a tough day? A new study finds, when it comes

to touching, people aren’t even ____41____ about who’s doing it. Researchers in Germany say the touch of a

humanoid (人形的) robot makes people ____42____ and more likely to follow their requests.

Instead of being ____43____ on other humans, researchers are hoping that one day robots may be able to

fulfill the roles of therapists, personal trainers, and even life coaches. Their study follows the widespread increase

of touch ____44____ during the COVID-19 pandemic. Several studies have pointed out how physical distancing

and isolation is creating a variety of negative effects that increase feelings of stress, depression, and anxiety.

In this research, 48 students engaged in a conversation with NAO – a programmable research robot. During

the course, for some participants, the robot briefly and seemingly randomly ____45____ the back of the

participant’s hand.

This differed from the design of other studies, which have relied on ____46____ touch. In response to the

robot’s touch, most participants smiled and laughed, and none ____47____. Results show those who were touched

were more likely to ____48____ the robot urging them to show interest in a particular academic course discussed

during the conversation. Participants also reported a better ____49____ state after the robot’s tap on the hand.

____50____, students who were touched were more likely to give the robot a higher score for physical

attractiveness (although these participants still only rated poor NAO a 2.5 out of 5 on average).

“A robot’s non-functional touch ____51____ to humans,” Laura Hoffmann from Ruhr University and her team

write. “Slightly tapping human participants’ hands during a conversation resulted in better feelings and more

compliance (依从) to the request of a humanoid robot.”

“It is remarkable that simple and brief tap on the back of participants’ hands showed such an effect. Involving

more complex and ____52____ touching from a robot might increase engagement and compliance.”

As the researchers argue, this small study – one of the first to examine the ____53____ of robot-initiated touch

– suggests that through the use of comforting touches, robot therapists could better ____54____ patients to engage

in healthy activities such as exercise. However, they caution that much about human-robot ____55____ are

complex, with there still more to be learned about the difference between human and robot touch.

七、阅读理解

I know people who say they don’t watch television, and

I always nod and agree. Reading requires

intelligence, and television is merely entertainment, right?

I’m going to Scotland this year, and three different people told me I must watch “Outlander” before I go,

which is like “Game of Thrones” for fans of romance novels. I watched the first four hourlong episodes

back to

back. When I stood up from the couch I felt sick, and it wasn’t just the cookies, popcorn and peanut butter

sandwiches I’d had without noticing. It was dark outside, and I felt ashamed. I had spent half a day on the couch.

Research for Scotland? Not exactly.

A few days later I had a library book due: The National Book Award winner The Friend, by Sigrid Nunez. I

needed to finish it, so I read the last half straight through. I was absorbed in Nunez’s New York City, worrying

about the heroin’s career and her future. I finished the book with tears in my eyes and stood up feeling, well, great.

I had wasted another four hours on my couch. I hadn’t eaten as much junk food because I needed my hands

试卷第7页，共14页

free—and not sticky—so I could turn pages and return the book to the library relatively clean, but I hadn’t moved

and once again it was dark outside. Why did I feel so much better and guilt-free?

All the research says reading a book is good for you. It reduces stress, promotes comprehension and

imagination, relieves depression, helps you sleep and may contribute to preventing Alzheimer’s. The act of

physically turning a page creates a momentary pause for understanding to sink in. Our brains have to work to

translate the black squiggles (弯弯曲曲的线条) on the page into words and then interpret the meaning and intent of

those words. When a character is described as tall with brown hair, a reader creates her own picture. TV takes all

that imagination away.

But there’s a lot of good TV now. I’d like to say the answer to TV versus books must be, as Aristotle said,

“Moderation in all things,” though he never had a television or a computer and had to read his scrolls (长卷纸) by

candlelight. I agree that too much television is bad for you. I know I feel better if I read, but it won’t stop me from

watching too: My second DVD of “Outlander” has just arrived, and as soon as I get this essay done, the rest of my

day is free.

56．By “I always nod and agree” (paragraph 1), the author implies that _______.

A．she should be polite to get the conversation to go on

B．she is reluctant to admit that she watches television

C．she believes those who say they don’t watch TV

D．she doesn’t think highly of TV either

57．The phrase “back to back” (paragraph 2) is closest in meaning to “_______”.

A．from morning till night

C．leaning against the back of the couch

B．one after another without a break

D．looking at the opposite direction

58．The author felt better after reading The Friend than watching “Outlander”, most probably because _______.

A．she didn’t feel hungry for any snacks

B．the TV series got her to cancel her trip to Scotland

C．the television series was no more attractive than the book

D．she regarded reading as more rewarding than watching TV

59．What can be concluded from all the research introduced in paragraph 5?

A．Reading is active while watching TV is passive.

B．Reading involves physical exercises while watching TV doesn’t.

C．Reading stimulates the brain to concentrate while watching TV doesn’t.

试卷第8页，共14页

D．Reading is good for one’s mental health while watching TV is bad for it.

Much like beauty,

art is in the eye of the beholder. The artwork we are attracted to can give insight into our

personality, such as whether we are too quick or too slow, calm or moody. Studies into art preferences date back to

the 1930s — most of them examining the extent to which people like or dislike different paintings. Research shows

that a person’s interest in art is more strongly related to certain personality traits than to social class, age, or gender.

In particular, a personality trait called “openness” is the best predictor of whether individuals are interested in

art. On the other side, those who identify as “conscientious (一丝不苟的)”, are often less drawn to the arts. These

traits are part of the Big Five, a widely accepted personality theory based on nearly a century of research.

The model claims that each personality is composed of a combination of five core traits: openness,

conscientiousness, extroversion (enjoying being with other people), agreeableness (being pleasant) and neuroticism

(feeling worried and nervous). Rather than stating a person as being either shy or outgoing, the Big Five Model

believes that everyone lies somewhere between the two extremes.

Personality traits may also affect the way people visually scan art. A 2018 study tracked participants’ eye

movements as they studied abstract artwork. The majority of participants concentrated on the upper-right part. This

试卷第10页，共14页

makes sense, as the right half of the brain is specialized for visual and spatial processing, and also plays a

significant role in processing the emotions that art draws out. However, participants who tended toward neuroticism

focused on the left side of the picture, and those with mental disease paid more attention to the bottom of the

picture.

Even with the impressive amount of research into the relationship between people’s personality traits and their

love for art, there are still holes in the theories. For instance, some scientists claim that the Big Five Model doesn’t

translate across cultures and is mainly targeted toward those living in developed nations. Also, most studies have

focused on two-dimensional art, like paintings, and haven’t yet captured differing preferences for the variety of

media that exist around the world. Then there’s the fact that our art preferences change over time and are informed

by our ages, relationships and life experiences.

People’s preferences for art are nearly as complicated as art itself. But if you’re looking for a quick test of

someone’s general personality traits, it doesn’t hurt to glance at what’s hanging on their walls.

63．Which of the following is the best illustration of “art is in the eye of the beholder” in paragraph 1?

A．We judge a piece of art based on whether it is considered beautiful.

B．The beauty of a piece of artwork depends on its quality and price.

C．The owner of the artwork is the one who loves it the most.

D．Whether an artwork is appealing is a subjective matter.

64．The shadowed area in each of the following pictures is the part a person focuses on when enjoying an abstract

painting. According to the 2018 study, which best illustrates the perception of a person who tends to be in anxiety?

A． B．

C． D．

65．What can be inferred from the passage about the Big Five Model?

A．It is a globally accepted measuring system.

B．Everyone can fit into one of the five categories.

试卷第11页，共14页

C．There is much evidence of scientific studies to back it.

D．It can explain the change in our art preference over time.

66．What is the best title of this passage?

A．What does your taste in art say about you?

B．How to reveal one’s personality traits?

D．How to discover your art preference?

八、六选四

Social Engineering

When using social media, many users may not be thinking of the social engineering implications that can arise

with too much over-sharing of personal information. However, what people share in posts can paint a very vivid

picture of a person – which can then be misused by hackers.

“____67____ Social engineering is the number one cause of most spiteful data breaches (泄露),” said Roger

Grimes, data-driven defense specialist at cyber security firm KnowBe4. “Nothing else is even close,

percentage-wise,” Grimes warned, “Nearly every organization could best improve their cyber security defense

plans if they focused far more on reducing the likelihood of social engineering. No other single defense could do

more to protect an organization against hacking and malware (恶意软件).”

“Every organization should look to see what they can improve in their defense-in-depth plan (e.g., policies,

technical defenses, and education) to defeat social engineering. It is because almost no organization appropriately

focuses the necessary resources and training against social engineering that allows hackers and malware to be so

long-term successful. ____68____”

The security experts warn that even in the context of “social media,” users shouldn’t let their guard down.

____69____ “As individuals, we are aware of the personal threats posed by cyber attacks directed against us,”

suggested Erfan, cyber security expert at data security Comforte AG. “To avoid being victimized, it’s best to

operate under the mindset that digital footprints exist everywhere and can never be completely wiped out.”

“As members of businesses and organizations, we know that enterprise data is always a tempting target for

hackers,” Erfan continued. “____70____ Preventing attacks and breaches is not 100 percent fool-proof, so we can

试卷第12页，共14页

only hope that big techs have instituted the measures of data-centric security applied directly to data in case that

sensitive information falls into the wrong hands.”

A．In fact, this is where users should actually adopt a more cautious attitude.

B．The recent attack against Twitter should underscore the need for data-centric security.

C．For developers, this vulnerability also shows there’s still a need for proper input validation and ensure that any

request is authorized.

D．Hackers love that defenders are distracted and don’t focus appropriate resources on the number one threat.

E．Organizations should make a joint effort to protect the sensitive data from exploitation.

F．This is just one more example of the success of social engineering used by hackers.

九、概要写作

71．Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no

more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.

Are Oceans Silent?

Most sea creatures, from whales and dolphins to fish, sharks and shrimps, respond to sound, and many can

produce it. They use it to hunt and to hide, find mates and food, send messages and give warnings, establish

territories, warn off competitors, confuse their targets, deceive enemies, and sense changes in water and conditions.

Marine animals click bones, grind teeth and belch gases (磨牙打嗝); use special organs to make various noises. Far

from the ‘silent deep’, the oceans are so noisy.

Into this age-long confused noise, in the blink of an evolutionary eye, has entered a new thunder: the trembling

sound of mighty engines as 46,220 large ships passed the world’s shipping courses. Scientists say that background

noise in the ocean has increased roughly by 15 decibels (分贝) in the past 50 years. It may not sound like much in

overall terms, but it is enough, according to many marine biologists, to mask the normal sounds of ocean life going

about its business. At its most intense, some even say noise causes whales to become disoriented, dolphins to suffer

from ‘the bends’, fish to go deaf, leave their breeding grounds or fail to form groups—enough to disorganize the

basic biology of two thirds of the planet.

“Undersea noise pollution is like the death of a thousand cuts”, says Sylvia Earie, chief scientist of the U.S.

National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. “Each sound in itself may not be a matter of critical concern,

试卷第13页，共14页

but taken all together, the noise from shipping, earthquake-related surveys, and military activity is creating a totally

different environment than existed even 50 years ago. That high level of noise is bound to have a hard, sweeping

impact on life in the sea.
