2.In the animal kingdom,weakness can bring about aggression in other animals. This sometimes happens with humans also.But I have found that my weakness brings out the kindness in people.I see it every day when people hold doors for me,pour cream into my coffee, or help me to put on my coat.And I have discovered that it makes them happy.
From my wheelchair experience,I see the best in people,but sometimes I feel sad because those who appear independent miss the kindness I see daily.They don't get to see this soft side of others. Often,we try every way possible to avoid showing our weakness,which includes a lot of pretending.But only when we stop pretending we're brave or strong do we allow people to show the kindness that's in them.
Last month, when I was driving home on a busy highway, I began to feel unwell and drove more slowly than usual. People behind me began to get impatient and angry,with some speeding up alongside me, horning(按喇叭)or even shouting at me.At the moment , I decided to do something I had never done in twenty-four years of driving. I put on the car flashlights and drove on at a really low speed.
No more angry shouts and no more horns!
When I put on my flashlights,I was saying to the other drivers,"I have a problem here.I am weak and doing the best I can." And everyone understood. Several times, I saw drivers who wanted to pass.They couldn't get around me because of the stream of passing traffic.But instead of getting impatient and angry,they waited,knowing the driver in front of them was in some way weak.
Sometimes situations call for us to act strong and brave even when we don't feel that way.But those are few and far between. More often,it would be better if we don't pretend we feel strong when we feel weak or pretend that we are brave when we are scared.
24.The author has discovered that people will feel happy when___.
A.they offer their help B.they receive others' help
C.they feel others' kindness D.they show their weakness
25.What did the other drivers do when they saw the flashlights?
A.They sped up to pass. B.They waited with patience.
C.They tried their best to help. D.They put on their flashlights too.
26..In this passage,the author advises us to_______.
A.handle problems by ourselves B.accept help from others
C.admit our weakness D.show our bravery
27.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A.A Wheelchair Experience. B.Weakness and Kindness.
C.Weakness and Strength. D.A Driving Experience.
3.Imagine you are opening your own company and want to hire a manager. You have two candidates and they are both capable and experienced, so who would you rather hire: Julia Watson or Shobha Bhattacharva? Chances are that you would prefer Watson, right? But why?
“Easy names are evaluated as more familiar, less risky and less dangerous, ” Eryn Newman, a scientist at Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand, told Scientific American. As a result, people with easier names are often assumed to be more trustworthy. This is what Newman and her teammates have found in their recent study.
In the experiment, they picked 18 different foreign names, including difficult-to-pronounce ones like Yevgeni Dherzhinsky and easy names like Bodo Wallmeyer. They then attached each name with a statement such as “turtles are deaf” and “giraffes are the only mammals that cannot jump” and asked volunteers whether they thought the claims were true.
The results showed that claims connected to easier names were more often ranked as believable than those attributed to difficult names, regardless of what the truth really was. In fact, previous studies have already found that our judgments about products can be affected by their names. For example, we tend to think of a food additive (添加剂) with an easier name as safer and a stock (股票)with an easier name as more lucrative (利润丰厚的),according to Medical Daily.
But researchers pointed out that this effect can change depending on where someone comes from. For example, a native British man may find “Yevgeni Dherzhinsky” hard to pronounce while Russian people could say it without effort. Newman hopes that this finding can make us better see our biases (偏见). It’s not just unfair to people that we make judgments based on gut feelings (直觉) rather than facts, and it can sometimes have serious consequences.
For example, we may choose to believe certain eyewitnesses in court simply because their names sound more trustworthy even if they are actually lying. Or, we may let go of qualified job candidates due to their“difficult”names.
Now, if you could make that decision again, would you still prefer Julia Watson to Shobha Bhattacharva?
28.What did Newman and her teammates discover in their experiment?
A.Volunteers with easier names were more likely to choose true claims.
B.A difficult name doesn’t influence the way the volunteers viewed the claims.
C.Volunteers trusted claims paired with easy names more often.
D.Volunteers trusted claims connected with difficult names.
29.The underlined words“this effect”in Paragraph 5 refer to the effect ______.
A.names have on people’s judgments
B.gut feelings have on people from different places
C.of decisions made based on facts
D.of people’s biases against certain types of people
30.What can we conclude from the last paragraph?
A.We should think twice before we make a decision.
B.The harder your name is to pronounce, the more likely it is you will get a job.
C.Judging people based on their names may cause serious problems.
D.Russians have less bias against people’s names than the British.
31.What is probably the best title for the text?
A.Names Affect Products B.Employers Prefer Shobha Bhattacharva
C.Difficult Names are Trustworthy D.Easy Names Win Out
4.Claude Monet, Pablo Picasso and Leonardo da Vinci... the art world has never lacked talent.And now, a new painter is ready to join the list, although this one isn't even human.
Next month, the auction house Christie's Prints and Multiples will make history by offering the first piece of art 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 "grotesque and amazing at the same time". This isn't 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 Tolstoy (1828-1910) , art is about creating emotion(情感). It's"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 what's 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 that's created with our opinions and something that changes over time. "
32.Why does the author mention the artists in Paragraph l?
A.To introduce their works. B.To make an advertisement.
C.To present a piece of news. D.To focus the topic on AI.
33.What does the underlined word "grotesque" in Paragraph 3 mean?
A.Strange. B.Simple. C.Messy. D.Understandable.
34.What can we learn about the AI-produced artwork according to Paragraph 5?
A.It comes from human works. B.It shows the human ability to create.
C.It expresses human feelings effectively. D.It is beyond the imagination of humans.
35.Oscar Schwartz thinks the human mind is _________compared with AI.
A.limited B.Decisive C.useless D.meaningful

Kids’ health: Four steps for fighting stress
Everybody gets stressed from time to time.36______Some ways of dealing with stress ---like screaming or hitting someone---don’t solve (解决)much. But other ways, like talking to someone you trust, can lead you to solving your problem or at least feeling better.
Try taking these four steps the next time you are stressed:
(1) Get support. When you need help, reach out to the people who care about you. Talk to a trusted adult, such as a parent or other relatives.37______They might have had similar problems, such as dealing with a test, or the death of a beloved pet.
(2) Don’t take it out on yourself. Sometimes when kids are stressed and upset they take it out on themselves. Oh, dear, that's not a good idea. Remember that there are always people to help you. Don't take it out on yourself.38______.
(3) Try to solve the problem. After you’re calm and you have support from adults and friends, it’s time to get down to business. 39______ Even if you can’t solve it all, you can solve a piece of it.
(4) Be positive. Most stress is temporary(暂时的).Remember stress does go away,especially when you figure out the problem and start working on solving it.
These steps aren’t magic, but they do work. And if you can stay positive as you make your way through a tough time, you’ll help yourself feel better even faster.40______.
A. Ask for a helping hand to get you through the tough situation.
B. Notice your friends’ feelings and find a way to help them.
C. Different people feel stress in different ways.
D. Ah, it feels so good when the stress is gone.

Dear David,
I'm delighted to receive your letter in which you asked about our arrangements for the World Reading Day.
What deserves to be mentioned most is the theme of the Reading Day---Reading Chinese Classics and Inheriting Chinese Culture.Obviously, its aim is to raise our awareness of passing on traditional Chinese culture.
It's widely acknowledged that reading benefits us in many ways.Not only can it broaden our horizons but it also deepens our thoughts. Therefore, a series of activities, such as Reading Salon, a Second-hand Book Exchange will take place on that day.
How I wish you could join us!
Yours,
Li Hua

2.In the animal kingdom,weakness can bring about aggression in other animals. This sometimes happens with humans also.But I have found that my weakness brings out the kindness in people.I see it every day when people hold doors for me,pour cream into my coffee, or help me to put on my coat.And I have discovered that it makes them happy.
From my wheelchair experience,I see the best in people,but sometimes I feel sad because those who appear independent miss the kindness I see daily.They don't get to see this soft side of others. Often,we try every way possible to avoid showing our weakness,which includes a lot of pretending.But only when we stop pretending we're brave or strong do we allow people to show the kindness that's in them.
Last month, when I was driving home on a busy highway, I began to feel unwell and drove more slowly than usual. People behind me began to get impatient and angry,with some speeding up alongside me, horning(按喇叭)or even shouting at me.At the moment , I decided to do something I had never done in twenty-four years of driving. I put on the car flashlights and drove on at a really low speed.
No more angry shouts and no more horns!
When I put on my flashlights,I was saying to the other drivers,"I have a problem here.I am weak and doing the best I can." And everyone understood. Several times, I saw drivers who wanted to pass.They couldn't get around me because of the stream of passing traffic.But instead of getting impatient and angry,they waited,knowing the driver in front of them was in some way weak.
Sometimes situations call for us to act strong and brave even when we don't feel that way.But those are few and far between. More often,it would be better if we don't pretend we feel strong when we feel weak or pretend that we are brave when we are scared.
24.The author has discovered that people will feel happy when___.
A.they offer their help B.they receive others' help
C.they feel others' kindness D.they show their weakness
25.What did the other drivers do when they saw the flashlights?
A.They sped up to pass. B.They waited with patience.
C.They tried their best to help. D.They put on their flashlights too.
26..In this passage,the author advises us to_______.
A.handle problems by ourselves B.accept help from others
C.admit our weakness D.show our bravery
27.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A.A Wheelchair Experience. B.Weakness and Kindness.
C.Weakness and Strength. D.A Driving Experience.
3.Imagine you are opening your own company and want to hire a manager. You have two candidates and they are both capable and experienced, so who would you rather hire: Julia Watson or Shobha Bhattacharva? Chances are that you would prefer Watson, right? But why?
“Easy names are evaluated as more familiar, less risky and less dangerous, ” Eryn Newman, a scientist at Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand, told Scientific American. As a result, people with easier names are often assumed to be more trustworthy. This is what Newman and her teammates have found in their recent study.
In the experiment, they picked 18 different foreign names, including difficult-to-pronounce ones like Yevgeni Dherzhinsky and easy names like Bodo Wallmeyer. They then attached each name with a statement such as “turtles are deaf” and “giraffes are the only mammals that cannot jump” and asked volunteers whether they thought the claims were true.
The results showed that claims connected to easier names were more often ranked as believable than those attributed to difficult names, regardless of what the truth really was. In fact, previous studies have already found that our judgments about products can be affected by their names. For example, we tend to think of a food additive (添加剂) with an easier name as safer and a stock (股票)with an easier name as more lucrative (利润丰厚的),according to Medical Daily.
But researchers pointed out that this effect can change depending on where someone comes from. For example, a native British man may find “Yevgeni Dherzhinsky” hard to pronounce while Russian people could say it without effort. Newman hopes that this finding can make us better see our biases (偏见). It’s not just unfair to people that we make judgments based on gut feelings (直觉) rather than facts, and it can sometimes have serious consequences.
For example, we may choose to believe certain eyewitnesses in court simply because their names sound more trustworthy even if they are actually lying. Or, we may let go of qualified job candidates due to their“difficult”names.
Now, if you could make that decision again, would you still prefer Julia Watson to Shobha Bhattacharva?
28.What did Newman and her teammates discover in their experiment?
A.Volunteers with easier names were more likely to choose true claims.
B.A difficult name doesn’t influence the way the volunteers viewed the claims.
C.Volunteers trusted claims paired with easy names more often.
D.Volunteers trusted claims connected with difficult names.
29.The underlined words“this effect”in Paragraph 5 refer to the effect ______.
A.names have on people’s judgments
B.gut feelings have on people from different places
C.of decisions made based on facts
D.of people’s biases against certain types of people
30.What can we conclude from the last paragraph?
A.We should think twice before we make a decision.
B.The harder your name is to pronounce, the more likely it is you will get a job.
C.Judging people based on their names may cause serious problems.
D.Russians have less bias against people’s names than the British.
31.What is probably the best title for the text?
A.Names Affect Products B.Employers Prefer Shobha Bhattacharva
C.Difficult Names are Trustworthy D.Easy Names Win Out
4.Claude Monet, Pablo Picasso and Leonardo da Vinci... the art world has never lacked talent.And now, a new painter is ready to join the list, although this one isn't even human.
Next month, the auction house Christie's Prints and Multiples will make history by offering the first piece of art 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 "grotesque and amazing at the same time". This isn't 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 Tolstoy (1828-1910) , art is about creating emotion(情感). It's"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 what's 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 that's created with our opinions and something that changes over time. "
32.Why does the author mention the artists in Paragraph l?
A.To introduce their works. B.To make an advertisement.
C.To present a piece of news. D.To focus the topic on AI.
33.What does the underlined word "grotesque" in Paragraph 3 mean?
A.Strange. B.Simple. C.Messy. D.Understandable.
34.What can we learn about the AI-produced artwork according to Paragraph 5?
A.It comes from human works. B.It shows the human ability to create.
C.It expresses human feelings effectively. D.It is beyond the imagination of humans.
35.Oscar Schwartz thinks the human mind is _________compared with AI.
A.limited B.Decisive C.useless D.meaningful

Kids’ health: Four steps for fighting stress
Everybody gets stressed from time to time.36______Some ways of dealing with stress ---like screaming or hitting someone---don’t solve (解决)much. But other ways, like talking to someone you trust, can lead you to solving your problem or at least feeling better.
Try taking these four steps the next time you are stressed:
(1) Get support. When you need help, reach out to the people who care about you. Talk to a trusted adult, such as a parent or other relatives.37______They might have had similar problems, such as dealing with a test, or the death of a beloved pet.
(2) Don’t take it out on yourself. Sometimes when kids are stressed and upset they take it out on themselves. Oh, dear, that's not a good idea. Remember that there are always people to help you. Don't take it out on yourself.38______.
(3) Try to solve the problem. After you’re calm and you have support from adults and friends, it’s time to get down to business. 39______ Even if you can’t solve it all, you can solve a piece of it.
(4) Be positive. Most stress is temporary(暂时的).Remember stress does go away,especially when you figure out the problem and start working on solving it.
These steps aren’t magic, but they do work. And if you can stay positive as you make your way through a tough time, you’ll help yourself feel better even faster.40______.
A. Ask for a helping hand to get you through the tough situation.
B. Notice your friends’ feelings and find a way to help them.

2.答案：1.A; 2.B; 3.C; 4.B
解析：1.事实细节题. 由文章第一段最后两句"I see it every day when people hold doors for me,pour cream into my coffee,or help me put on my coat.And I have discovered that it makes them happy."可知,我看到每天有人搀扶,乳酪倒进咖啡或助我穿衣时, 我发觉这些微不足道的行为使他们很高兴. 所以我们可以证明助人为乐这个浅显的道理. 故本题选 A.
2.事实细节题.由文章第四、五段内容可知大部分司机看到汽车灯在闪时会耐心等待.故选 B.
3.推理判断题.第五段最后一句大部分司机耐心地等待,因为他们知道他们前面的那位司机是"弱者".从而表明:作者建议我们一定要承认我们的弱性面.故选 C.
4.标题判断题.本文作者开门见山,直接点题.第一段最后一句就是点睛之笔.告诉我们弱点往往会使人表现出仁慈的一面.故 B 项是最佳答案.
3.答案：1.C; 2.A; 3.C; 4.D
解析：1.细节题.根据文章第三段内容, The results showed that statements connected to easier names were more often ranked as believable than those belonging to difficult names, regardless of what the truth really was.研究结果表明,与容易说出的名字相关的陈述比那些难说出的名字更容易被认为是可信的,不管事实是什么.即在许多情况下,志愿者更信任那些简单的名字.结合选项,故选C.
2.推理判断题,根据第二段的" As a result, people with easier names are often assumed to be more trustworthy因此,人们往往认为名字简单的人更值得信赖",下面是实验证明这一点,所以划线部分意思为"名字对人判断的影响",故选A.

Or we may let go of qualified job applicants due to their "difficult" names.纽曼希望这一发现能让我们更好地看到我们的偏见.我们根据感觉而不是事实做出判断,这不仅不公平,有时也会产生严重的后果.例如,我们可以选择相信法庭上的某些证人,仅仅是因为他们的名字不符合即使他们真的在说谎,我们也会更值得信赖.或者,我们可能会因为他们"难听"的名字而放弃合格的求职者.由此可知,通过名字来判断一个人是会引起严重后果的,结合选项,故选C.

Equally important, I am fluent in both Chinese English, so I have no difficulty with others. If I am lucky enough to be chosen a volunteer, I can show around the gallery. Besides, I will answer questions about the paintings after some training.

Dear David,
I'm delighted to receive your letter in which you asked about our arrangements for the World Reading Day.
What deserves to be mentioned most is the theme of the Reading Day---Reading Chinese Classics and Inheriting Chinese Culture.Obviously, its aim is to raise our awareness of passing on traditional Chinese culture.
It's widely acknowledged that reading benefits us in many ways.Not only can it broaden our horizons but it also deepens our thoughts. Therefore, a series of activities, such as Reading Salon, a Second-hand Book Exchange will take place on that day.
How I wish you could join us!
Yours,
Li Hua
