Frequently Asked Questions for Yellowstone National Park
How much is the entrance fee?
$85-Private, non-commercial vehicle; $30-Motorcycle or snowmobile (winter);
$20-Visitors 16 and older entering by foot, bike, ski, etc.
*This fee provides the visitor with a 7-day entrance permit for both Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks.
Where should we stay?
Your decision may depend on how much time you have and what you want to see the most. If you plan on visiting Yellowstone National Park for only a few days and want to experience some of the main attractions then West Yellowstone would be a good base. If you want to have the full park experience then perhaps lodging (住宿) at Old Faithful would be a good choice. If you want to view the most wildlife, then we suggest the Northeast Entrance.
When is the best time to visit the park?
This depends on what your interests are. Spring has abundant wildlife, roaring waterfalls and wild weather. Summer has it all including the most crowds, so you’d better get out early and eat your breakfast on the road! Fall is a special time of year. Everything seems to be declining including the crowds. Winter is a time of being a bit of social isolation. In years past it was more “economical” to visit most of the park. Now it is more restricted unless you can afford a snow-coach or guided snowmobile tour.
Can I get Cell and Wi-Fi?
Free public Wi-Fi is available at Al-bright Visitor Center and at some park lodges for registered guests. Cell service is extremely limited, with reception only available in or near major developed areas. In summer, service often reaches its limit in these areas.
Yet, it is sad to see the latest generation fade away from normal everyday activities and conversation. Get out, look around, admire the wonders. There’re plenty of natural and human distractions around every corner. The last thing we want to do is distract visitors from Yellowstone’s wonders especially while driving.
1. How much is the entrance fee in total if Jeffery makes a self-driving trip to Yellowstone with his father and his 14-year-old daughter during the winter vacation?
A. $50 B. $85 C. $105 D. $125
2. The underlined sentence implies that .
A. most of the park was restricted to visitors in winter in the past
B. visiting Yellowstone in winter is preferred by most local people
C. winter used to be the best time to visit the park in terms of expenses
D. nowadays most people choose to tour the park on a snow-coach in winter
3. We can learn from the passage that .
A. the wireless connection is not satisfactory
B. Old Faithful provides a full view of the park
C. the entrance ticket applies to Yellowstone only
D. younger generations make up the majority of park visitors
【答案】1. B 2. A 3. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章回答了几个关于黄石国家公园旅游的问题。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据How much is the entrance fee?部分中“$85-Private, non-commercial vehicle ($85-私人、非商业车辆)”可知，杰弗瑞在寒假期间与父亲和女儿自驾游黄石公园需要支付私家车入场费85美元。故选B项。
【2题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线句中“In years past”和下文“Now”可推知，上下文描述了过去和现在的情况，结合下文“Now it is more restricted unless you can afford a snow-coach or guided snowmobile tour. (现在的限制更多了，除非你能负担得起雪上马车或有导游的雪上摩托之旅)”中“more restricted”可推知，上下文比较了冬季游黄石公园受到限制的情况，所以，划线句中“In years past it was more ‘economical’ to visit most of the park.”是指过去在冬季游黄石公园，大部分地方都是受到限制的，而现在限制更多了。故选A项。
【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据Can I get Cell and Wi-Fi?部分中“Free public Wi-Fi is available at Al-bright Visitor Center and at some park lodges for registered guests. Cell service is extremely limited, with reception only available in or near major developed areas. In summer, service often reaches its limit in these areas. (阿尔布赖特游客中心和部分公园小屋为已登记的客人提供免费公共Wi-Fi。手机服务非常有限，只有在主要开发地区或附近才能接收到信号。在夏季，这些地区的服务常常达到极限)”可知，公园里的无线信号差强人意。故选A项。
B
On January 7th, 2022, David Bennett became the first person to have a heart transplanted successfully into him from a pig. On that occasion, mere operation success was the goal. This operation is a milestone for xenotransplantation (异种移植)— the transfer of organs from other species to human patients.
For decades, researchers have attempted to deal with xenotransplantation’s basic problem. This is that the human body, when it recognizes foreign tissue, tends to turn against it. In the case of pigs, the most important marker of foreignness is a sugar molecule (分子) called alpha-Gal. While this molecule does not exist in humans, antibodies to kill it do. So no transplant from a pig with alpha-Gal would last more than a couple of minutes in a human body. In 2003 pigs were produced with a changed genome so as to prevent the enzyme (酶) responsible for making alpha-Gal. This was a step in the right direction, but other barriers popped up.
The pig for David’s operation had a genome changed in ten ways to increase the chances of success. Three genes had been removed to reduce the risk of a human antibody rejecting the organ. A fourth, a growth gene, had also been knocked out, to ensure the heart did not enlarge after transplantation. And six human genes had been added to promote acceptance.
There are other concerns. One is any unknown rejection mechanism. Another is the possibility that the organ may pass viruses to its new host. The pig in question was raised where there was no virus to reduce the chance of that, but it remains a possibility.
In theory, pigs can be raised to provide humans with any solid organ, but some will be more complex than others. Moreover, even if these barriers can be overcome, most researchers still acknowledge that increasing xenotransplantation to meet the world’s demand for organs may take decades. After this news, however, the chances that it will happen eventually have increased.
4. What is the basic problem of xenotransplantation?
A. The human body lacks alpha-Gal.
B. The human body resists foreign tissues.
C. The life of the transplanted organ is too short.
D. The enzyme is prevented from making alpha-Gal.
5. Why was a growth gene removed in David’s case?
A. Because it would change David’s genome.
B. Because it would lead to heart enlargement.
C. Because it would make the heart more acceptable.
D. Because it would be recognized by David’s antibodies.
6. What can we learn about the pig?
A. It saved the patient’s life perfectly.
B. It had a decreased number of genes.
C. It had an unknown rejection mechanism.
D. It was raised in a virus-free environment.
7. What is the author’s attitude towards the future of xenotransplantation?
A. Optimistic. B. Indifferent. C. Disturbed. D. Uncertain.
【答案】4. B 5. B 6. D 7. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了全球首例异种移植手术成功，大卫·贝内特成为第一个从猪身上成功移植心脏的人。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段关键句“For decades, researchers have attempted to deal with xenotransplantation’s basic problem. This is that the human body, when it recognizes foreign tissue, tends to turn against it.”（几十年来，研究人员一直试图解决异种移植的基本问题。这就是当人体辨别出外来组织时，往往会抵抗外来组织。）可知，异种移植的基本问题是当人体辨别出外来组织时，往往会抵抗外来组织，由此可知，异种移植的基本障碍是人体抵抗（排斥）外来组织。故选B项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段关键句“A fourth, a growth gene, had also been knocked out, to ensure the heart did not enlarge after transplantation.”（第四个是生长基因，也被移除，以确保移植后心脏不会扩大。）可知，移除生长基因是为了确保移植后心脏不会扩大。故选B项。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段关键句“The pig in question was raised where there was no virus to reduce the chance of that, but it remains a possibility.”（讨论中的那头猪是在没有病毒的地方饲养的，以减少感染的机会，但仍然有可能感染病毒。）可知，为了减少感染的机会，那头猪是在没有病毒的地方饲养的。故选D项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段关键句“Moreover, even these barriers can be overcome, most researchers still acknowledge that increasing xenotransplantation to meet the world’s demand for organs may take decades. After this news, however, the chances that it will happen eventually have increased.”（此外，即使这些障碍可以克服，大多数研究人员仍然承认，增加异种移植以满足世界对器官的需求可能需要几十年。然而，这一消息之后，最终发生的可能性增加了。）可知，作者认为，这次异种移植手术的成功，表明未来异种移植以满足世界对器官的需求的可能性增加了，由此可知，作者对异种移植的未来持乐观态度。故选A项。
C
What do Harry Potter, Katniss Everdeen, and Frodo all have in common with the heroes of ancient myths (神话)?Joseph Campbell studied myths from all over the world and published a book called “The Hero with a Thousand Faces”, retelling dozens of stories and explaining how each represents the mono-myth, or Hero’s Journey. So, what is the “Hero’s Journey”?
He thinks of it as a cycle in his book. The journey begins with the hero receiving a mysterious message, an invitation, or a challenge. After crossing the threshold from his safe home to adventure, with some help probably from someone older, wiser, our hero solves a riddle, slays a monster, escapes from a trap. The hero’s darkest hour then comes, when he faces death and possibly even dies, only to be reborn. As a result, the hero claims some treasure, special recognition, or power, which can vary between stories. After all that adventure, the hero returns to his ordinary world, but upgrades to a new level. Nothing is quite the same once you are a hero.
The Hero’s Journey myth exists in all human cultures and keeps getting updated, because we humans reflect on our world through symbolic stories of our own lives. You leave your comfort zone, have an experience that transforms you and then you recover and do it again. You don’t literally slay dragons or fight Voldemort, but you face problems just as scary. Joseph Campbell said, “In the cave you fear to enter lies the treasure you seek.”
What is the symbolic cave then you fear to enter? Auditions (试镜) for the school play? Baseball tryouts? Love?
Watch for this formula (公式) in books, movies, and TV shows you come across. You will certainly see it again. Also be sensitive to it in your own life. Listen for your call to adventure. Accept the challenge. Conquer your fear and claim the treasure you seek. And then, do it all over again.
8. What is the correct order of the “Hero’s Journey”?
①Return to the ordinary world but upgrade to a new level.
②Receive a call to adventure and assistance from a wiser man.
③Set out on the adventure and go through a series of tough trials.
④Face a life-or-death crisis and be reborn with some special power.
A. ①②③④ B. ④②①③ C. ②③④① D. ③②④①
9. Why is Hero’s Journey myth so popular?
A. Because it’s a way to learn about the past.
B. Because it’s a way to reflect on our world.
C. Because these stories are part of human culture.
D. Because these stories are always being updated.
10. Which of the following may the author disagree with?
A. We all need a “cave” to hide in face of danger.
B. Difficulties we face tend to be treasures in life.
C. Our comfort zone will promote our development.
D. We should watch more movies and shows for the formula.
11. Which of the following is a suitable title for the passage?
A. Where to Find a Hero. B. Be Your Own Hero.
C. How to Conquer Your Fear. D. Seek Your Scary Cave.
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. A 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章通过介绍英雄的旅程，倡导大家倾听冒险的召唤，接受挑战，征服恐惧。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The journey begins with the hero receiving a mysterious message, an invitation, or a challenge. After crossing the threshold from his safe home to adventure, with some help probably from someone older, wiser, our hero solves a riddle, slays a monster, escapes from a trap. The hero’s darkest hour then comes, when he faces death and possibly even dies, only to be reborn. As a result, the hero claims some treasure, special recognition, or power, which can vary between stories. After all that adventure, the hero returns to his ordinary world, but upgrades to a new level. Nothing is quite the same once you are a hero. (旅程开始于英雄收到一个神秘的信息，一个邀请，或一个挑战。英雄步出平凡安稳的家门，展开冒险。在一些年长、聪明的人的帮助下，他解开了一个谜语，杀死了一个怪物，从陷阱中逃脱。然后，英雄最黑暗的时刻到来了，他面临死亡，甚至为了能够重生，必须先死过一次。结果，英雄获得了一些宝藏、特别的认可或力量，这些在不同的故事中有所不同。在所有的冒险之后，英雄回到了他的平凡世界，但他再也不是昔日吴下阿蒙)”可知，英雄的旅程是：接到冒险的召唤并受到智者的帮助——踏上冒险之旅并经历一系列艰难的考验——面对生死危机，获得重生和特殊能力——回到平凡的世界，超越过去的自己，提升到新的水平。对应的正确顺序是②③④①。故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“The Hero’s Journey myth exists in all human cultures and keeps getting updated because we humans reflect on our world through symbolic stories of our own lives. (英雄之旅存在于所有的文化中，并且不断地推陈出新。因为我们人类通过自身生活中极具象征性的故事，反映出所处的世界)”可知，英雄之旅的神话如此流行是因为它是反思我们的世界的一种方式。故选B。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章倒数第三段“You don’t literally slay dragons or fight Voldemort, but you face problems just as scary. Joseph Campbell said, “In the cave you fear to enter lies the treasure you seek.”(你不需要真正地屠龙或对抗伏地魔，但你面临的问题同样可怕。约瑟夫·坎贝尔说过：“在你害怕进入的洞穴里，藏着你所寻找的宝藏”)”以及倒数第二段“What is the symbolic cave then you fear to enter? Auditions (试镜) for the school play? Baseball tryouts? Love?(你害怕进入的象征性洞穴是什么？学校戏剧的试镜？棒球选拔赛？ 爱？)”可知，在你害怕进入的洞穴里，藏着你所寻找的宝藏，由此推知，作者认为“洞穴”是好的，只有进入这些你害怕进入的洞穴才能找到寻找中的宝藏。A项：We all need a “cave” to hide in face of danger(面对困难时，我们都需要一个“洞穴”来躲藏)与作者表述不符。故选A。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，并结合最后一段“You will certainly see it again. Also be sensitive to it in your own life. Listen for your call to adventure. Accept the challenge. Conquer your fear and claim the treasure you seek. And then, do it all over again.(你一定会再看到它。在你自己的生活中也要对它保持敏感。倾听冒险的召唤。接受挑战。征服你的恐惧，得到你想要的宝藏。然后，再来一遍)”可知，文章倡导去冒险，接受挑战，征服恐惧。B项：Be Your Own Hero(做自己的英雄)可以作为本文的最佳标题。故选B。
D
America was where all my mother’s hopes lay. My mother believed one could be anything he wanted to be in America. “You can be a prodigy (神童), too,” my mother told me when I was nine. “You can be best at anything.” We didn’t immediately pick the right kind of prodigy. At first my mother thought I could be a Chinese Shirley Temple. We’d watch Shirley’s old movies on TV as though they were training films. My mother would poke my arm and say, “Ni kan”—You watch.
Soon after my mother got this idea about Shirley Temple, she took me to a beauty training school and put me in the hands of a student who could barely hold the scissors without shaking. Instead of getting big fat curls, I emerged with an uneven mass of crinkly black fuzz.
In fact, in the beginning, I was just as excited as my mother, maybe even more so. I pictured this prodigy part of me as many different images, trying each one on for size. I was a dainty ballerina girl standing by the curtains, waiting to hear the right music that would send me floating on my tiptoes. I was Cinderella stepping from her pumpkin carriage with sparkly cartoon music filling the air.
In all of my imaginings, I was filled with a sense that I would soon become perfect. My mother and father would adore me. I would be beyond reproach (责备). I would never be annoyed by anything. Every night after dinner, my mother and I would sit at the Formica kitchen table. She would present new tests, taking her examples from stories of amazing children she had read and a dozen other magazines she kept in a pile in our bathroom. My mother got these magazines from people whose houses she cleaned. She would look through them all, searching for stories about remarkable children.
The first night she brought out a story about a three-year-old boy who knew the capitals of all the states and even most of the European countries. A teacher was quoted as saying the little boy could also pronounce the names of the foreign cities correctly.
“What’s the capital of Finland?” my mother asked me, looking at the magazine story.
All I knew was the capital of California, because Sacramento was the name of the street we lived on in Chinatown. “Nairobi!” I guessed, saying the most foreign word I could think of. She checked to see if that was possibly one way to pronounce “Helsinki” before showing me the answer.
The tests got harder — multiplying numbers in my head, finding the queen of hearts in a deck of cards, trying to stand on my head without using my hands, predicting the daily temperatures in Los Angeles, New York, and London.
And after seeing my mother’s disappointed face once again, something inside of me began to die. I hated the tests, the raised hopes and failed expectations. Before going to bed that night, I looked in the mirror and when I saw only my face staring back — and that it would always be this ordinary face — I began to cry. Such a sad, ugly girl! I made high-pitched (尖锐的) noises like a crazed animal, trying to scratch out the face in the mirror.
And then I saw what seemed to be the prodigy side of me — because I had never seen that face before. I looked at my reflection, blinking so I could see more clearly. The girl staring back at me was angry, powerful. This girl and I were the same. I had new thoughts, willful thoughts, or rather thoughts filled with lots of won’ts. I won’t let her change me, I promised myself. I won’t be what I’m not.
12. Why did the mother and the girl watch Shirley Temple’s old movies on TV?
A. Because the mother was a fan of Shirley Temple
B. Because the girl resembled Shirley Temple in appearance.
C. Because Shirley Temple’s hairstyle was very popular among children.
D. Because the mother wanted her daughter to be a Chinese Shirley Temple.
13. Which of the following statements is TRUE about the tests the girl did every night?
A. She got through the tests painfully.
B. She felt confident and finished them smoothly.
C. She failed the tests and began to lose confidence.
D. She made preparations for tests to please her mother.
14. What does the underlined sentence in the passage mean?
A. The mother was disappointed and gave up her daughter.
B. The mother expected her daughter to know the right answer.
C. The answers were more than one and the mother checked them.
D. The mother was not sure about the answer and wanted to confirm it.
15. What might happen after the last paragraph?
A. The girl might do what she really likes.
B. The girl might do whatever her mother asks.
C. The girl might try her best to become successful.
D. The mother might change her attitude and listen to her daughter.
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. B 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了望女成凤的妈妈把女儿按天才来培养，但无数次的失败让女儿失去信心。但一次镜子前的自省让女儿接受了真正的自我，决定不再受妈妈的摆布，要去做自己真正喜欢做的事。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“At first my mother thought I could be a Chinese Shirley Temple. We’d watch Shirley’s old movies on TV as though they were training films.(起初，我妈妈认为我可以成为中国的秀兰·邓波儿。我们会在电视上看雪莉演的老电影，就像看训练电影一样)”可知，妈妈和女孩在电视上看秀兰·邓波儿的老电影是因为妈妈希望女儿成为中国的秀兰·邓波儿，让女儿通过看电影来接受训练。故选D项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“And after seeing my mother’s disappointed face once again, something inside of me began to die. I hated the tests, the raised hopes and failed expectations. Before going to bed that night, I looked in the mirror and when I saw only my face staring back — and that it would always be this ordinary face — I began to cry. Such a sad, ugly girl!(在再次看到母亲失望的脸后，我内心的某些东西开始消亡。我讨厌考试，讨厌那些高涨的希望和失败的期望。那天晚上睡觉前，我照镜子，只看到自己的脸在盯着我看——而且永远都是这张普通的脸——我哭了起来。多么悲伤、丑陋的女孩!)”可知，女孩没有通过那些测试，并开始对自己失去信心。故选C项。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据上文可知，妈妈问女儿“芬兰的首都是哪里?”，女儿给出了一个明显错误的答案“内罗毕”。根据划线句“She checked to see if that was possibly one way to pronounce “Helsinki” before showing me the answer.(在给我看答案之前，她查了一下“赫尔辛基”是否可能是这样发音的)”可知，妈妈专门查了芬兰首都“赫尔辛基”是否可以读作“内罗毕”，由此推知，妈妈非常希望女儿的答案是正确的，甚至寄希望于“内罗毕”是“赫尔辛基”的另一个读音。故选B项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“I looked at my reflection, blinking so I could see more clearly. The girl staring back at me was angry, powerful. This girl and I were the same. I had new thoughts, willful thoughts, or rather thoughts filled with lots of won’ts. I won’t let her change me, I promised myself. I won’t be what I’m not.(我看着自己的影子，眨了眨眼睛，以便看得更清楚。那个盯着我看的女孩很生气，很强势。这个女孩和我是一样的。我有了新的想法，任性的想法，或者更确切地说，是充满了很多不愿意的想法。我不会让她改变我，我向自己保证。我不会成为我不是的样子)”可推知，女儿的遭受挫折后重新审视了自己，接受了真正的自我，决定不再受妈妈的摆布。接下来，她要去做自己真正喜欢做的事。故选A项。

Imagine that as you are boarding an airplane, half the engineers who built the plane tell you there is a 10 percent chance the plane will crash, killing you and everyone else on board. Would you still board?
In 2022, over 700 top academics and researchers behind the leading artificial intelligence companies were asked in a survey about future AI risk. Half of those surveyed stated that there was a 10 percent or greater chance of human extinction from future AI systems. ____16____
The fear of AI has haunted humanity since the mid-20th century, yet until recently it has remained a distant prospect, something that belongs in sci-fi more than in serious scientific and political debates. ____17____ It is even harder to grasp the speed at which these tools are developing even more advanced and powerful capabilities. But most of the key skills boil down to one thing: the ability to manipulate (操纵) and generate language, whether with words, sounds or images.
In the beginning was the word. ____18____ From language emerges myth and law, goods and money, art and science, friendships and nations—even computer code. AI’s new mastery of language means it can now hack and manipulate the operating system of civilization. What would it mean for humans to live in a world where a large percentage of stories, melodies, images, laws, policies and tools are shaped by non-human intelligence? ____19____What happens when the same thing occurs in art, politics, and even religion?
____20____We are surrounded by culture, experiencing reality through a cultural prism (棱镜). Our views are shaped by the reports of journalists and the accounts of friends. What will it be like to experience reality through a prism produced by non-human intelligence? The time to reckon with AI is before our politics, our economy and our daily life become dependent on it.
A. Humans often don’t have direct access to reality.
B. Language is the operating system of human culture.
C. In games like chess, no human can hope to beat a computer.
D. By gaining mastery of language, AI is seizing the master key to civilization.
E. Technology companies are caught in a race to put all of humanity on that plane.
F. For thousands of years we humans have lived inside the dreams of other humans.
G. It’s difficult for human minds to grasp the capabilities of GPT-4 and similar tools.
【答案】16. E 17. G 18. B 19. C 20. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍人工智能可能让人类面临巨大危机。
【16题详解】
根据上文“In 2022, over 700 top academics and researchers behind the leading artificial intelligence companies were asked in a survey about future AI risk.

根据下文“From language emerges myth and law, goods and money, art and science, friendships and nations—even computer code. (从语言中产生了神话和法律、商品和金钱、艺术和科学、友谊和国家，甚至计算机代码)”可知，语言对人类来说尤为重要。再结合“AI’s new mastery of language means it can now hack and manipulate the operating system of civilization.(人工智能对语言的新掌握意味着它现在可以破解和操纵文明的操作系统)”推知，语言之所以重要是因为它是人类的操作系统。B项“Language is the operating system of human culture.(语言是人类文化的操作系统)”符合题意。故选B。
【19题详解】
根据上文“AI’s new mastery of language means it can now hack and manipulate the operating system of civilization.(人工智能对语言的新掌握意味着它现在可以破解和操纵文明的操作系统)”和下文“What happens when the same thing occurs in art, politics, and even religion?(当同样的事情发生在艺术、政治甚至宗教中时会发生什么？)”推知，空处提到了一种人工智能操纵或者打败人类的情况，而当这样的事情发生在艺术、政治甚至宗教中时可能会产生难以预料的后果。C项“In games like chess, no human can hope to beat a computer.(在像国际象棋这样的游戏中，没有人能指望打败电脑)”符合语境，下文的“the same thing”指代选项内容。故选C。
【20题详解】
空处位于段首，应总起下文。根据下文“We are surrounded by culture, experiencing reality through a cultural prism (棱镜). Our views are shaped by the reports of journalists and the accounts of friends. What will it be like to experience reality through a prism produced by non-human intelligence?(我们被文化包围，通过文化棱镜体验现实。记者的报道和朋友的描述塑造了我们的观点。通过非人类智慧产生的棱镜来体验现实会是什么样子？)”可知，我们的观点通常都是根据记者的报道和朋友的描述形成的，由此推知，人类很少直接接触现实。A项“Humans often don’t have direct access to reality.(人类通常无法直接接触现实)”符合题意，总起下文，reality是关键词。故选A。

The icy wind howled across the empty street and it was an unusually quiet day in the emergency room on December 25th. Quiet, that is, except for the nurses who were standing around the nurses’ station complaining about having to work on Christmas Day.
I was a guiding nurse that day and had just done the cleanup in the waiting room. Since there were no patients waiting to be seen at the time, I returned to the nurses’ station for a cup of hot coffee that someone had brought in for Christmas. Just then, a colleague came in and told me I had five patients waiting to be evaluated.
I was surprised, “Five? How did I get five? I was just out there and no one was in the waiting room.”
“Well, there are five signed in. ”
So I went straight out and called the first name. Five bodies showed up at my guiding desk, a pale short woman and four small children in untidy clothing.
“Are you all sick?” I asked. “Yes, " she said weakly and lowered her head.
“Okay, ” I replied. “Who’s first?” One by one they sat down, and I asked the usual beginning questions. When it came to the description of their symptoms, things got a little vague(含糊的). Two of the children had headaches, but the headaches weren’t accompanied by the normal body language of holding the head or trying to keep it still. Two children had earaches, but only one could tell me which ear was affected. The mother complained of a cough, but seemed to work to produce it.
Something was wrong with the picture. Suddenly I knew something. So I explained to the mother that it might be a little while before a doctor saw her because there were several more critical patients. she responded, “Take your time. It’s warm here and there is a Christmas tree.”
注意： 续写词数应为 150 左右：
Then the mother turned and, with a smile, settled her kids in the waiting room.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The nurses, complaining about working Christmas, turned to sympathy for the homeless family.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Then the mother turned and, with a smile, settled her kids in the waiting room. Though warm, the room was far from comfortable for children, who nestled closely by the Christmas tree. The youngest kid was staring at gifts under the tree, exclaiming something to her mother. Met with refusal, the wretched creature was on the verge of tears. The guilty mother looked upset, great sorrow clouding her face. The rest froze, eyes falling on their little sister. Realizing they were homeless, I went back and told my colleagues what had happened.
My colleagues, complaining about working Christmas, turned to sympathy for the homeless family. Soon we were busy preparing presents for our unexpected guests, who just wanted to stay warm on Christmas Day. With gifts in hand, the kids couldn’t control their joy, whose laughter became quite infectious. The waiting room was filled with happiness and we were able to locate a shelter that would take the family in. As they were leaving, the mother hugged each of us and whispered, “You’re our angels and it’s your love that warms us up!”

Frequently Asked Questions for Yellowstone National Park
How much is the entrance fee?
$85-Private, non-commercial vehicle; $30-Motorcycle or snowmobile (winter);
$20-Visitors 16 and older entering by foot, bike, ski, etc.
*This fee provides the visitor with a 7-day entrance permit for both Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks.
Where should we stay?
Your decision may depend on how much time you have and what you want to see the most. If you plan on visiting Yellowstone National Park for only a few days and want to experience some of the main attractions then West Yellowstone would be a good base. If you want to have the full park experience then perhaps lodging (住宿) at Old Faithful would be a good choice. If you want to view the most wildlife, then we suggest the Northeast Entrance.
When is the best time to visit the park?
This depends on what your interests are. Spring has abundant wildlife, roaring waterfalls and wild weather. Summer has it all including the most crowds, so you’d better get out early and eat your breakfast on the road! Fall is a special time of year. Everything seems to be declining including the crowds. Winter is a time of being a bit of social isolation. In years past it was more “economical” to visit most of the park. Now it is more restricted unless you can afford a snow-coach or guided snowmobile tour.
Can I get Cell and Wi-Fi?
Free public Wi-Fi is available at Al-bright Visitor Center and at some park lodges for registered guests. Cell service is extremely limited, with reception only available in or near major developed areas. In summer, service often reaches its limit in these areas.
Yet, it is sad to see the latest generation fade away from normal everyday activities and conversation. Get out, look around, admire the wonders. There’re plenty of natural and human distractions around every corner. The last thing we want to do is distract visitors from Yellowstone’s wonders especially while driving.
1. How much is the entrance fee in total if Jeffery makes a self-driving trip to Yellowstone with his father and his 14-year-old daughter during the winter vacation?
A. $50 B. $85 C. $105 D. $125
2. The underlined sentence implies that .
A. most of the park was restricted to visitors in winter in the past
B. visiting Yellowstone in winter is preferred by most local people
C. winter used to be the best time to visit the park in terms of expenses
D. nowadays most people choose to tour the park on a snow-coach in winter
3. We can learn from the passage that .
A. the wireless connection is not satisfactory
B. Old Faithful provides a full view of the park
C. the entrance ticket applies to Yellowstone only
D. younger generations make up the majority of park visitors
【答案】1. B 2. A 3. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章回答了几个关于黄石国家公园旅游的问题。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据How much is the entrance fee?部分中“$85-Private, non-commercial vehicle ($85-私人、非商业车辆)”可知，杰弗瑞在寒假期间与父亲和女儿自驾游黄石公园需要支付私家车入场费85美元。故选B项。
【2题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线句中“In years past”和下文“Now”可推知，上下文描述了过去和现在的情况，结合下文“Now it is more restricted unless you can afford a snow-coach or guided snowmobile tour. (现在的限制更多了，除非你能负担得起雪上马车或有导游的雪上摩托之旅)”中“more restricted”可推知，上下文比较了冬季游黄石公园受到限制的情况，所以，划线句中“In years past it was more ‘economical’ to visit most of the park.”是指过去在冬季游黄石公园，大部分地方都是受到限制的，而现在限制更多了。故选A项。
【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据Can I get Cell and Wi-Fi?部分中“Free public Wi-Fi is available at Al-bright Visitor Center and at some park lodges for registered guests. Cell service is extremely limited, with reception only available in or near major developed areas. In summer, service often reaches its limit in these areas. (阿尔布赖特游客中心和部分公园小屋为已登记的客人提供免费公共Wi-Fi。手机服务非常有限，只有在主要开发地区或附近才能接收到信号。在夏季，这些地区的服务常常达到极限)”可知，公园里的无线信号差强人意。故选A项。
B
On January 7th, 2022, David Bennett became the first person to have a heart transplanted successfully into him from a pig. On that occasion, mere operation success was the goal. This operation is a milestone for xenotransplantation (异种移植)— the transfer of organs from other species to human patients.
For decades, researchers have attempted to deal with xenotransplantation’s basic problem. This is that the human body, when it recognizes foreign tissue, tends to turn against it. In the case of pigs, the most important marker of foreignness is a sugar molecule (分子) called alpha-Gal. While this molecule does not exist in humans, antibodies to kill it do. So no transplant from a pig with alpha-Gal would last more than a couple of minutes in a human body. In 2003 pigs were produced with a changed genome so as to prevent the enzyme (酶) responsible for making alpha-Gal. This was a step in the right direction, but other barriers popped up.
The pig for David’s operation had a genome changed in ten ways to increase the chances of success. Three genes had been removed to reduce the risk of a human antibody rejecting the organ. A fourth, a growth gene, had also been knocked out, to ensure the heart did not enlarge after transplantation. And six human genes had been added to promote acceptance.
There are other concerns. One is any unknown rejection mechanism. Another is the possibility that the organ may pass viruses to its new host. The pig in question was raised where there was no virus to reduce the chance of that, but it remains a possibility.
In theory, pigs can be raised to provide humans with any solid organ, but some will be more complex than others. Moreover, even if these barriers can be overcome, most researchers still acknowledge that increasing xenotransplantation to meet the world’s demand for organs may take decades. After this news, however, the chances that it will happen eventually have increased.
4. What is the basic problem of xenotransplantation?
A. The human body lacks alpha-Gal.
B. The human body resists foreign tissues.
C. The life of the transplanted organ is too short.
D. The enzyme is prevented from making alpha-Gal.
5. Why was a growth gene removed in David’s case?
A. Because it would change David’s genome.
B. Because it would lead to heart enlargement.
C. Because it would make the heart more acceptable.
D. Because it would be recognized by David’s antibodies.
6. What can we learn about the pig?
A. It saved the patient’s life perfectly.
B. It had a decreased number of genes.
C. It had an unknown rejection mechanism.
D. It was raised in a virus-free environment.
7. What is the author’s attitude towards the future of xenotransplantation?
A. Optimistic. B. Indifferent. C. Disturbed. D. Uncertain.
【答案】4. B 5. B 6. D 7. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了全球首例异种移植手术成功，大卫·贝内特成为第一个从猪身上成功移植心脏的人。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段关键句“For decades, researchers have attempted to deal with xenotransplantation’s basic problem. This is that the human body, when it recognizes foreign tissue, tends to turn against it.”（几十年来，研究人员一直试图解决异种移植的基本问题。这就是当人体辨别出外来组织时，往往会抵抗外来组织。）可知，异种移植的基本问题是当人体辨别出外来组织时，往往会抵抗外来组织，由此可知，异种移植的基本障碍是人体抵抗（排斥）外来组织。故选B项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段关键句“A fourth, a growth gene, had also been knocked out, to ensure the heart did not enlarge after transplantation.”（第四个是生长基因，也被移除，以确保移植后心脏不会扩大。）可知，移除生长基因是为了确保移植后心脏不会扩大。故选B项。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段关键句“The pig in question was raised where there was no virus to reduce the chance of that, but it remains a possibility.”（讨论中的那头猪是在没有病毒的地方饲养的，以减少感染的机会，但仍然有可能感染病毒。）可知，为了减少感染的机会，那头猪是在没有病毒的地方饲养的。故选D项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段关键句“Moreover, even these barriers can be overcome, most researchers still acknowledge that increasing xenotransplantation to meet the world’s demand for organs may take decades. After this news, however, the chances that it will happen eventually have increased.”（此外，即使这些障碍可以克服，大多数研究人员仍然承认，增加异种移植以满足世界对器官的需求可能需要几十年。然而，这一消息之后，最终发生的可能性增加了。）可知，作者认为，这次异种移植手术的成功，表明未来异种移植以满足世界对器官的需求的可能性增加了，由此可知，作者对异种移植的未来持乐观态度。故选A项。
C
What do Harry Potter, Katniss Everdeen, and Frodo all have in common with the heroes of ancient myths (神话)?Joseph Campbell studied myths from all over the world and published a book called “The Hero with a Thousand Faces”, retelling dozens of stories and explaining how each represents the mono-myth, or Hero’s Journey. So, what is the “Hero’s Journey”?
He thinks of it as a cycle in his book. The journey begins with the hero receiving a mysterious message, an invitation, or a challenge. After crossing the threshold from his safe home to adventure, with some help probably from someone older, wiser, our hero solves a riddle, slays a monster, escapes from a trap. The hero’s darkest hour then comes, when he faces death and possibly even dies, only to be reborn. As a result, the hero claims some treasure, special recognition, or power, which can vary between stories. After all that adventure, the hero returns to his ordinary world, but upgrades to a new level. Nothing is quite the same once you are a hero.
The Hero’s Journey myth exists in all human cultures and keeps getting updated, because we humans reflect on our world through symbolic stories of our own lives. You leave your comfort zone, have an experience that transforms you and then you recover and do it again. You don’t literally slay dragons or fight Voldemort, but you face problems just as scary. Joseph Campbell said, “In the cave you fear to enter lies the treasure you seek.”
What is the symbolic cave then you fear to enter? Auditions (试镜) for the school play? Baseball tryouts? Love?
Watch for this formula (公式) in books, movies, and TV shows you come across. You will certainly see it again. Also be sensitive to it in your own life. Listen for your call to adventure. Accept the challenge. Conquer your fear and claim the treasure you seek. And then, do it all over again.
8. What is the correct order of the “Hero’s Journey”?
①Return to the ordinary world but upgrade to a new level.
②Receive a call to adventure and assistance from a wiser man.
③Set out on the adventure and go through a series of tough trials.
④Face a life-or-death crisis and be reborn with some special power.
A. ①②③④ B. ④②①③ C. ②③④① D. ③②④①
9. Why is Hero’s Journey myth so popular?
A. Because it’s a way to learn about the past.
B. Because it’s a way to reflect on our world.
C. Because these stories are part of human culture.
D. Because these stories are always being updated.
10. Which of the following may the author disagree with?
A. We all need a “cave” to hide in face of danger.
B. Difficulties we face tend to be treasures in life.
C. Our comfort zone will promote our development.
D. We should watch more movies and shows for the formula.
11. Which of the following is a suitable title for the passage?
A. Where to Find a Hero. B. Be Your Own Hero.
C. How to Conquer Your Fear. D. Seek Your Scary Cave.
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. A 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章通过介绍英雄的旅程，倡导大家倾听冒险的召唤，接受挑战，征服恐惧。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The journey begins with the hero receiving a mysterious message, an invitation, or a challenge. After crossing the threshold from his safe home to adventure, with some help probably from someone older, wiser, our hero solves a riddle, slays a monster, escapes from a trap. The hero’s darkest hour then comes, when he faces death and possibly even dies, only to be reborn. As a result, the hero claims some treasure, special recognition, or power, which can vary between stories. After all that adventure, the hero returns to his ordinary world, but upgrades to a new level. Nothing is quite the same once you are a hero. (旅程开始于英雄收到一个神秘的信息，一个邀请，或一个挑战。英雄步出平凡安稳的家门，展开冒险。在一些年长、聪明的人的帮助下，他解开了一个谜语，杀死了一个怪物，从陷阱中逃脱。然后，英雄最黑暗的时刻到来了，他面临死亡，甚至为了能够重生，必须先死过一次。结果，英雄获得了一些宝藏、特别的认可或力量，这些在不同的故事中有所不同。在所有的冒险之后，英雄回到了他的平凡世界，但他再也不是昔日吴下阿蒙)”可知，英雄的旅程是：接到冒险的召唤并受到智者的帮助——踏上冒险之旅并经历一系列艰难的考验——面对生死危机，获得重生和特殊能力——回到平凡的世界，超越过去的自己，提升到新的水平。对应的正确顺序是②③④①。故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“The Hero’s Journey myth exists in all human cultures and keeps getting updated because we humans reflect on our world through symbolic stories of our own lives. (英雄之旅存在于所有的文化中，并且不断地推陈出新。因为我们人类通过自身生活中极具象征性的故事，反映出所处的世界)”可知，英雄之旅的神话如此流行是因为它是反思我们的世界的一种方式。故选B。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章倒数第三段“You don’t literally slay dragons or fight Voldemort, but you face problems just as scary. Joseph Campbell said, “In the cave you fear to enter lies the treasure you seek.”(你不需要真正地屠龙或对抗伏地魔，但你面临的问题同样可怕。约瑟夫·坎贝尔说过：“在你害怕进入的洞穴里，藏着你所寻找的宝藏”)”以及倒数第二段“What is the symbolic cave then you fear to enter? Auditions (试镜) for the school play? Baseball tryouts? Love?(你害怕进入的象征性洞穴是什么？学校戏剧的试镜？棒球选拔赛？ 爱？)”可知，在你害怕进入的洞穴里，藏着你所寻找的宝藏，由此推知，作者认为“洞穴”是好的，只有进入这些你害怕进入的洞穴才能找到寻找中的宝藏。A项：We all need a “cave” to hide in face of danger(面对困难时，我们都需要一个“洞穴”来躲藏)与作者表述不符。故选A。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，并结合最后一段“You will certainly see it again. Also be sensitive to it in your own life. Listen for your call to adventure. Accept the challenge. Conquer your fear and claim the treasure you seek. And then, do it all over again.(你一定会再看到它。在你自己的生活中也要对它保持敏感。倾听冒险的召唤。接受挑战。征服你的恐惧，得到你想要的宝藏。然后，再来一遍)”可知，文章倡导去冒险，接受挑战，征服恐惧。B项：Be Your Own Hero(做自己的英雄)可以作为本文的最佳标题。故选B。
D
America was where all my mother’s hopes lay. My mother believed one could be anything he wanted to be in America. “You can be a prodigy (神童), too,” my mother told me when I was nine. “You can be best at anything.” We didn’t immediately pick the right kind of prodigy. At first my mother thought I could be a Chinese Shirley Temple. We’d watch Shirley’s old movies on TV as though they were training films. My mother would poke my arm and say, “Ni kan”—You watch.
Soon after my mother got this idea about Shirley Temple, she took me to a beauty training school and put me in the hands of a student who could barely hold the scissors without shaking. Instead of getting big fat curls, I emerged with an uneven mass of crinkly black fuzz.
In fact, in the beginning, I was just as excited as my mother, maybe even more so. I pictured this prodigy part of me as many different images, trying each one on for size. I was a dainty ballerina girl standing by the curtains, waiting to hear the right music that would send me floating on my tiptoes. I was Cinderella stepping from her pumpkin carriage with sparkly cartoon music filling the air.
In all of my imaginings, I was filled with a sense that I would soon become perfect. My mother and father would adore me. I would be beyond reproach (责备). I would never be annoyed by anything. Every night after dinner, my mother and I would sit at the Formica kitchen table. She would present new tests, taking her examples from stories of amazing children she had read and a dozen other magazines she kept in a pile in our bathroom. My mother got these magazines from people whose houses she cleaned. She would look through them all, searching for stories about remarkable children.
The first night she brought out a story about a three-year-old boy who knew the capitals of all the states and even most of the European countries. A teacher was quoted as saying the little boy could also pronounce the names of the foreign cities correctly.
“What’s the capital of Finland?” my mother asked me, looking at the magazine story.
All I knew was the capital of California, because Sacramento was the name of the street we lived on in Chinatown. “Nairobi!” I guessed, saying the most foreign word I could think of. She checked to see if that was possibly one way to pronounce “Helsinki” before showing me the answer.
The tests got harder — multiplying numbers in my head, finding the queen of hearts in a deck of cards, trying to stand on my head without using my hands, predicting the daily temperatures in Los Angeles, New York, and London.
And after seeing my mother’s disappointed face once again, something inside of me began to die. I hated the tests, the raised hopes and failed expectations. Before going to bed that night, I looked in the mirror and when I saw only my face staring back — and that it would always be this ordinary face — I began to cry. Such a sad, ugly girl! I made high-pitched (尖锐的) noises like a crazed animal, trying to scratch out the face in the mirror.
And then I saw what seemed to be the prodigy side of me — because I had never seen that face before. I looked at my reflection, blinking so I could see more clearly. The girl staring back at me was angry, powerful. This girl and I were the same. I had new thoughts, willful thoughts, or rather thoughts filled with lots of won’ts. I won’t let her change me, I promised myself. I won’t be what I’m not.
12. Why did the mother and the girl watch Shirley Temple’s old movies on TV?
A. Because the mother was a fan of Shirley Temple
B. Because the girl resembled Shirley Temple in appearance.
C. Because Shirley Temple’s hairstyle was very popular among children.
D. Because the mother wanted her daughter to be a Chinese Shirley Temple.
13. Which of the following statements is TRUE about the tests the girl did every night?
A. She got through the tests painfully.
B. She felt confident and finished them smoothly.
C. She failed the tests and began to lose confidence.
D. She made preparations for tests to please her mother.
14. What does the underlined sentence in the passage mean?
A. The mother was disappointed and gave up her daughter.
B. The mother expected her daughter to know the right answer.
C. The answers were more than one and the mother checked them.
D. The mother was not sure about the answer and wanted to confirm it.
15. What might happen after the last paragraph?
A. The girl might do what she really likes.
B. The girl might do whatever her mother asks.
C. The girl might try her best to become successful.
D. The mother might change her attitude and listen to her daughter.
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. B 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了望女成凤的妈妈把女儿按天才来培养，但无数次的失败让女儿失去信心。但一次镜子前的自省让女儿接受了真正的自我，决定不再受妈妈的摆布，要去做自己真正喜欢做的事。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“At first my mother thought I could be a Chinese Shirley Temple. We’d watch Shirley’s old movies on TV as though they were training films.(起初，我妈妈认为我可以成为中国的秀兰·邓波儿。我们会在电视上看雪莉演的老电影，就像看训练电影一样)”可知，妈妈和女孩在电视上看秀兰·邓波儿的老电影是因为妈妈希望女儿成为中国的秀兰·邓波儿，让女儿通过看电影来接受训练。故选D项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“And after seeing my mother’s disappointed face once again, something inside of me began to die. I hated the tests, the raised hopes and failed expectations. Before going to bed that night, I looked in the mirror and when I saw only my face staring back — and that it would always be this ordinary face — I began to cry. Such a sad, ugly girl!(在再次看到母亲失望的脸后，我内心的某些东西开始消亡。我讨厌考试，讨厌那些高涨的希望和失败的期望。那天晚上睡觉前，我照镜子，只看到自己的脸在盯着我看——而且永远都是这张普通的脸——我哭了起来。多么悲伤、丑陋的女孩!)”可知，女孩没有通过那些测试，并开始对自己失去信心。故选C项。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据上文可知，妈妈问女儿“芬兰的首都是哪里?”，女儿给出了一个明显错误的答案“内罗毕”。根据划线句“She checked to see if that was possibly one way to pronounce “Helsinki” before showing me the answer.(在给我看答案之前，她查了一下“赫尔辛基”是否可能是这样发音的)”可知，妈妈专门查了芬兰首都“赫尔辛基”是否可以读作“内罗毕”，由此推知，妈妈非常希望女儿的答案是正确的，甚至寄希望于“内罗毕”是“赫尔辛基”的另一个读音。故选B项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“I looked at my reflection, blinking so I could see more clearly. The girl staring back at me was angry, powerful. This girl and I were the same. I had new thoughts, willful thoughts, or rather thoughts filled with lots of won’ts. I won’t let her change me, I promised myself. I won’t be what I’m not.(我看着自己的影子，眨了眨眼睛，以便看得更清楚。那个盯着我看的女孩很生气，很强势。这个女孩和我是一样的。我有了新的想法，任性的想法，或者更确切地说，是充满了很多不愿意的想法。我不会让她改变我，我向自己保证。我不会成为我不是的样子)”可推知，女儿的遭受挫折后重新审视了自己，接受了真正的自我，决定不再受妈妈的摆布。接下来，她要去做自己真正喜欢做的事。故选A项。

Imagine that as you are boarding an airplane, half the engineers who built the plane tell you there is a 10 percent chance the plane will crash, killing you and everyone else on board. Would you still board?
In 2022, over 700 top academics and researchers behind the leading artificial intelligence companies were asked in a survey about future AI risk. Half of those surveyed stated that there was a 10 percent or greater chance of human extinction from future AI systems. ____16____
The fear of AI has haunted humanity since the mid-20th century, yet until recently it has remained a distant prospect, something that belongs in sci-fi more than in serious scientific and political debates. ____17____ It is even harder to grasp the speed at which these tools are developing even more advanced and powerful capabilities. But most of the key skills boil down to one thing: the ability to manipulate (操纵) and generate language, whether with words, sounds or images.
In the beginning was the word. ____18____ From language emerges myth and law, goods and money, art and science, friendships and nations—even computer code. AI’s new mastery of language means it can now hack and manipulate the operating system of civilization. What would it mean for humans to live in a world where a large percentage of stories, melodies, images, laws, policies and tools are shaped by non-human intelligence? ____19____What happens when the same thing occurs in art, politics, and even religion?
____20____We are surrounded by culture, experiencing reality through a cultural prism (棱镜). Our views are shaped by the reports of journalists and the accounts of friends. What will it be like to experience reality through a prism produced by non-human intelligence? The time to reckon with AI is before our politics, our economy and our daily life become dependent on it.
A. Humans often don’t have direct access to reality.
B. Language is the operating system of human culture.
C. In games like chess, no human can hope to beat a computer.
D. By gaining mastery of language, AI is seizing the master key to civilization.
E. Technology companies are caught in a race to put all of humanity on that plane.
F. For thousands of years we humans have lived inside the dreams of other humans.
G. It’s difficult for human minds to grasp the capabilities of GPT-4 and similar tools.

根据下文“From language emerges myth and law, goods and money, art and science, friendships and nations—even computer code.

【19题详解】
根据上文“AI’s new mastery of language means it can now hack and manipulate the operating system of civilization.(人工智能对语言的新掌握意味着它现在可以破解和操纵文明的操作系统)”和下文“What happens when the same thing occurs in art, politics, and even religion?(当同样的事情发生在艺术、政治甚至宗教中时会发生什么？)”推知，空处提到了一种人工智能操纵或者打败人类的情况，而当这样的事情发生在艺术、政治甚至宗教中时可能会产生难以预料的后果。C项“In games like chess, no human can hope to beat a computer.(在像国际象棋这样的游戏中，没有人能指望打败电脑)”符合语境，下文的“the same thing”指代选项内容。故选C。
【20题详解】
空处位于段首，应总起下文。根据下文“We are surrounded by culture, experiencing reality through a cultural prism (棱镜). Our views are shaped by the reports of journalists and the accounts of friends. What will it be like to experience reality through a prism produced by non-human intelligence?(我们被文化包围，通过文化棱镜体验现实。记者的报道和朋友的描述塑造了我们的观点。通过非人类智慧产生的棱镜来体验现实会是什么样子？)”可知，我们的观点通常都是根据记者的报道和朋友的描述形成的，由此推知，人类很少直接接触现实。A项“Humans often don’t have direct access to reality.(人类通常无法直接接触现实)”符合题意，总起下文，reality是关键词。故选A。

The icy wind howled across the empty street and it was an unusually quiet day in the emergency room on December 25th. Quiet, that is, except for the nurses who were standing around the nurses’ station complaining about having to work on Christmas Day.
I was a guiding nurse that day and had just done the cleanup in the waiting room. Since there were no patients waiting to be seen at the time, I returned to the nurses’ station for a cup of hot coffee that someone had brought in for Christmas. Just then, a colleague came in and told me I had five patients waiting to be evaluated.
I was surprised, “Five? How did I get five? I was just out there and no one was in the waiting room.”
“Well, there are five signed in. ”
So I went straight out and called the first name. Five bodies showed up at my guiding desk, a pale short woman and four small children in untidy clothing.
“Are you all sick?” I asked. “Yes, " she said weakly and lowered her head.
“Okay, ” I replied. “Who’s first?” One by one they sat down, and I asked the usual beginning questions. When it came to the description of their symptoms, things got a little vague(含糊的). Two of the children had headaches, but the headaches weren’t accompanied by the normal body language of holding the head or trying to keep it still. Two children had earaches, but only one could tell me which ear was affected. The mother complained of a cough, but seemed to work to produce it.
Something was wrong with the picture. Suddenly I knew something. So I explained to the mother that it might be a little while before a doctor saw her because there were several more critical patients. she responded, “Take your time. It’s warm here and there is a Christmas tree.”
注意： 续写词数应为 150 左右：
Then the mother turned and, with a smile, settled her kids in the waiting room.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The nurses, complaining about working Christmas, turned to sympathy for the homeless family.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Then the mother turned and, with a smile, settled her kids in the waiting room. Though warm, the room was far from comfortable for children, who nestled closely by the Christmas tree. The youngest kid was staring at gifts under the tree, exclaiming something to her mother. Met with refusal, the wretched creature was on the verge of tears. The guilty mother looked upset, great sorrow clouding her face. The rest froze, eyes falling on their little sister. Realizing they were homeless, I went back and told my colleagues what had happened.
My colleagues, complaining about working Christmas, turned to sympathy for the homeless family. Soon we were busy preparing presents for our unexpected guests, who just wanted to stay warm on Christmas Day. With gifts in hand, the kids couldn’t control their joy, whose laughter became quite infectious. The waiting room was filled with happiness and we were able to locate a shelter that would take the family in. As they were leaving, the mother hugged each of us and whispered, “You’re our angels and it’s your love that warms us up!”
