A
Teenage years are an unforgettable season of life and books read at that time also make a difference. Much like the best children’s books ever written, these following top teen-centered books offer hope for the future and nostalgia for young life.
The Fault in Our Stars by John Green
Because of cancer, protagonist (主人公) Hazel Lancaster believes her life is over. But then she meets Augustus Waters, and the way he makes her laugh — the way he makes her feel seen — makes her want to live again. The Fault in Our Stars will attract young adults with themes of life and death, true love, and friendship that surpass circumstances. This book is especially worth reading if you love sad books.
The Hobbit by J. R. R. Tolkien
In this classic book, Bilbo Baggins is summoned (召唤) on a great ad venture that will change his life forever. With themes of friendship, loyalty, sacrifice, and more, The Hobbit is an adventure waiting to happen for those willing to experience the dangerous business of stepping into the story.
Dune by Frank Herbert
A science fiction novel for the ages, Frank Herbert’s Dune tells the adventures of Paul Atreides — who will become known as Muad’ Dib — as he and his family strive to bring humankind’s greatest dream to life while living on a desert planet. Though written in 1965, much of Dune’s story may be more connected to 21st-century readers than it was to bookworms who picked it up in the 1960s.
Nancy Drew series by Carolyn Keene
This collection of classic mystery novels was actually written by various authors under the pen name of Carolyn Keene. Over the past few decades, Nancy has developed with the times — to the point where she’s now using a cell phone to investigate her never-ending mysteries. Today, Nancy is drawing a whole new generation of fans, thanks to a television show launched in 2019.
21. What do The Fault in Our Stars and The Hobbit have in common?
A. They both tell great adventures. B. They both have heartbreaking endings.
C. They both contain the theme of friendship. D. They both focus on how to change life better.
22. Which is true about Dune?
A. It is a science magazine. B. It became a hit in the 1960s.
C. It is the best young adult book. D. It is more suitable for modern readers.
23. Why is Nancy Drew attracting a new group of readers?
A. A TV programme. B. The appearance of television.
C. It’s mysterious authors. D. An unknown cell phone.
B
I can’t miss the little old lady with her kerchief (方头巾) on her head, a black umbrella blowing all over. I can tell she is freezing. She is standing at a bus stop, and I’m driving by, late for my early morning shift. I decide to stop and offer her a ride.
Of course, she declines, but when I ask again and insist, finally, she gets in the car. I take her to her destination, and by the time she gets out of my car, she is smiling and thanks me.
I was late for work that day, but I was so glad that I stopped. That was 40 years ago, and the beginning of a new habit, one that continues when I’m out driving in bad weather.
If there’s someone at a bus stop, especially if it’s an elderly person waiting at off hours and in bad weather, I will pull over and ask if they need a ride.
Once, a young doctor jumped in. She had finished a long shift and had been waiting and waiting at the bus stop. She had no hesitation and, for the first time, I was able to help someone who performs miracles (奇迹) on a daily basis. That felt good.
But the best part of my ride offers is the conversation. I do tend to ask a lot of questions: where are you from, where are you going, family, background, pets and whatever else comes to mind. Surprisingly, everyone wants to chat. We are usually laughing by the time the ride is over. “What a shame!” I often think when they hop out, as the stories were just getting started.
Now as retirement approaches, I believe I have found my calling. I will be happy to join a community driving program to take people to one appointment or another — or perhaps just to the coffee shop to sit and listen for an hour.
As the years pass, perhaps I will be the one standing at the bus stop. Perhaps there will be somebody who rolls down a window and offers me a seat for a little ride. I will continue to take that leap of faith in the kindness of strangers.
24. What are the first three paragraphs mainly about?
A. How the author started offering rides.
B. The value of the author’s actions.
C. An old lady who impressed the author.
D. An accident that happened 40 years ago.
25. What does the author like most about her ride offers?
A. Helping people who contribute to society.
B. People accepting her offer without hesitation.
C. Chatting with her passengers.
D. Making friends with her passengers.
26. What does the author plan to do?
A. Become a taxi driver after retirement.
B. Continue driving people to their destinations.
C. Wait to be offered a ride at a bus stop.
D. Share her stories with more people.
27. What message does the author want to convey?
A. Elderly people need more care and support.
B. It is important to find a purpose in life.
C Offering rides to strangers involves risks.
D. Always believe in the goodness in people.
C
Have you ever played a computer game for a long time and then kept seeing the game’s images afterward? This happened to me with the classic shape-falling game Tetris (俄罗斯方块), created in 1985 by Alexey Pajitnov.
Feeling stressed one evening, I turned on my Switch to find a game to play and relax with. That’s when I discovered Tetris. Before I knew it, I was obsessed. Even when I stopped, my brain was still playing, with the blocks falling in my mind. I started looking at objects in the real world and thinking about how they could be moved and stacked (堆叠) together. I even dreamed about Tetris. I was experiencing the common “Tetris effect”.
Introduced by journalist Jeffrey Goldsmith in his 1994 Wired magazine article called “This Is Your Brain on Tetris”, the effect has been observed by psychologists and researchers. The lasting images of Tetris are due to the “Zeigarnik effect”, in which people have better memories of uncompleted tasks than those of completed ones. Tetris, being a game that technically never ends, keeps you thinking of the game’s unfinished task, reported Tech Times. And the catchy music stays with you, too.
There are also positives to the Tetris Effect. In his 1991 study, psychologist Richard Haier at the University of California found that continuously playing Tetris resulted in the thickness of the cerebral cortex (大脑皮层) increasing, which improves brain efficiency (效率), reported psychology website Practical Pie. Haier’s discovery got Tetris put into the Guinness World Records Video Gamer’s Edition 2008, as the “first video game to be proven to improve brain functioning and efficiency”.
Tetris has also been researched for use as a treatment for people suffering from trauma (创伤). The Yale Scientific Magazine reported that researchers at John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford, UK, found that playing Tetris appeared to reduce intrusive (侵入性) memories in the short term for individuals affected by motor vehicle accidents.
So the next time you want to play a computer game, why not try the classic Tetris and see if it improves your brain function? But he warned, you’ll likely be seeing falling blocks everywhere.
28. What does the underlined word “obsessed” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Quite shocked. B. Extremely interested.
C. Highly satisfied. D. Very curious.
29. What can we learn about the “Tetris Effect” from the text?
A. It is related to how our memory works. B. It is an uncommon among Tetris players.
C. It can result in the “Zeigarnik effect”. D. It is mainly related to the game’s music.
30. What benefit can people get from continuously playing Tetris, according to Haier?
A. Improved memory. B. Lifted study efficiency.
C. Better brain function. D. Physical recovery.
31. How does the author sound in the last paragraph?
A. Serious. B. Humorous. C. Worried. D. Doubtful.
D
Begus is a linguist at the University of California, Berkeley. He got the chance, last summer, to observe sperm whales in their wild Caribbean habitat. With him were marine (海洋的) biologists and roboticists. There were also cryptographers and experts in other fields. All have been working together to listen to sperm whales and figure out what they might be saying. They call this Project CETI. Project CETI’s team is not the only group turning to AI for help decoding animal talk. Researchers have trained AI models to sort through the sounds of prairie dogs, dolphins, naked mole rats and many other creatures.
Long before AI came into the picture, scientists and others have worked toward understanding animal communication. Some learned that vervet monkeys have different calls when warning of leopards, eagles or pythons. Others discovered that elephants communicate in rumbles too low for human ears to hear. Bats chatter in squeaks too high for our hearing. Still other groups have explored how bees communicate through dance.
“It took us a long time to measure all these things,” says researcher Karen Bakker. AI, she notes, has the potential to greatly speed up this type of research. Perhaps one day we’ll be able to use AI to build a futuristic chat box that translates animal sounds into human language, or vice versa (反之亦然).
“Al could eventually get us to the point where we understand animals,” says Bakker. What’s interesting to her is what we can learn from how bats and other creatures talk among each other. We should listen to animals for better protection, she argues. For example, a system set up to record whales or elephants can also track their locations. This can help us avoid whales with our boats or prevent elephants from illegal hunters.
32. What is Project CETI aimed at?
A. Applying AI to animal research.
B. Improving the living conditions of sperm whales.
C. Preventing all marine life from extinction.
D. Analysing talks of sperm whales.
33. How is the second paragraph developed?
A. By listing figures. B. By giving examples.
C. By making comparisons. D. By analyzing causes.
34. What is NOT true according to Karen Bakker?
A. Animal researches used to be time-consuming.
B. Animals may one day understand human language.
C. We can already well figure out animal talk with AI.
D. We apply AI to eventually assist us protect animals.
35. What is the best title for the text?
A. AI: A Potential Threat to Human Future
B. AI: A Technology Beneficial to the Earth
C. AI: A Tool to Understand and Protect Animals
D. AI: A Field of Fierce Major-country Competition

【答案】17. C 18. C 19. A 20. A
【解析】
【原文】M: Anyone planning a safari adventure in Kenya needs to know a few important things beforehand to ensure they have a comfortable and smooth stay in the country. Once in the country, visitors have a number of options for moving around, between and within cities. Kenya has a complicated bus network connecting larger and smaller towns. While traveling within a city such as Nairobi, locals prefer to use minivans, because they are cheap and readily available. However, visitors can hire a vehicle or use apps to get a taxi that can take them from one place to another. Major cities have airports, and visitors can easily take a plane to the coast or western parts of the country. It is also important to note that Kenya banned single-use plastics in 2017 countrywide, and visitors are advised not to bring any plastic carrier bags into the country. Plastic bottles and straws are banned in national parks and visitors are encouraged to bring a reusable water bottle. Visitors are also encouraged not to take photos of people without asking permission, particularly in rural areas and urban public spaces. Otherwise, Kenyans are friendly and always ready to help.

Teenage years are an unforgettable season of life and books read at that time also make a difference. Much like the best children’s books ever written, these following top teen-centered books offer hope for the future and nostalgia for young life.
The Fault in Our Stars by John Green
Because of cancer, protagonist (主人公) Hazel Lancaster believes her life is over. But then she meets Augustus Waters, and the way he makes her laugh — the way he makes her feel seen — makes her want to live again. The Fault in Our Stars will attract young adults with themes of life and death, true love, and friendship that surpass circumstances. This book is especially worth reading if you love sad books.
The Hobbit by J. R. R. Tolkien
In this classic book, Bilbo Baggins is summoned (召唤) on a great ad venture that will change his life forever. With themes of friendship, loyalty, sacrifice, and more, The Hobbit is an adventure waiting to happen for those willing to experience the dangerous business of stepping into the story.
Dune by Frank Herbert
A science fiction novel for the ages, Frank Herbert’s Dune tells the adventures of Paul Atreides — who will become known as Muad’ Dib — as he and his family strive to bring humankind’s greatest dream to life while living on a desert planet. Though written in 1965, much of Dune’s story may be more connected to 21st-century readers than it was to bookworms who picked it up in the 1960s.
Nancy Drew series by Carolyn Keene
This collection of classic mystery novels was actually written by various authors under the pen name of Carolyn Keene. Over the past few decades, Nancy has developed with the times — to the point where she’s now using a cell phone to investigate her never-ending mysteries. Today, Nancy is drawing a whole new generation of fans, thanks to a television show launched in 2019.

I can’t miss the little old lady with her kerchief (方头巾) on her head, a black umbrella blowing all over. I can tell she is freezing. She is standing at a bus stop, and I’m driving by, late for my early morning shift. I decide to stop and offer her a ride.
Of course, she declines, but when I ask again and insist, finally, she gets in the car. I take her to her destination, and by the time she gets out of my car, she is smiling and thanks me.
I was late for work that day, but I was so glad that I stopped. That was 40 years ago, and the beginning of a new habit, one that continues when I’m out driving in bad weather.
If there’s someone at a bus stop, especially if it’s an elderly person waiting at off hours and in bad weather, I will pull over and ask if they need a ride.
Once, a young doctor jumped in. She had finished a long shift and had been waiting and waiting at the bus stop. She had no hesitation and, for the first time, I was able to help someone who performs miracles (奇迹) on a daily basis. That felt good.
But the best part of my ride offers is the conversation. I do tend to ask a lot of questions: where are you from, where are you going, family, background, pets and whatever else comes to mind. Surprisingly, everyone wants to chat. We are usually laughing by the time the ride is over. “What a shame!” I often think when they hop out, as the stories were just getting started.
Now as retirement approaches, I believe I have found my calling. I will be happy to join a community driving program to take people to one appointment or another — or perhaps just to the coffee shop to sit and listen for an hour.
As the years pass, perhaps I will be the one standing at the bus stop. Perhaps there will be somebody who rolls down a window and offers me a seat for a little ride. I will continue to take that leap of faith in the kindness of strangers.
24. What are the first three paragraphs mainly about?
A. How the author started offering rides.
B. The value of the author’s actions.
C. An old lady who impressed the author.

Have you ever played a computer game for a long time and then kept seeing the game’s images afterward? This happened to me with the classic shape-falling game Tetris (俄罗斯方块), created in 1985 by Alexey Pajitnov.
Feeling stressed one evening, I turned on my Switch to find a game to play and relax with. That’s when I discovered Tetris. Before I knew it, I was obsessed. Even when I stopped, my brain was still playing, with the blocks falling in my mind. I started looking at objects in the real world and thinking about how they could be moved and stacked (堆叠) together. I even dreamed about Tetris. I was experiencing the common “Tetris effect”.
Introduced by journalist Jeffrey Goldsmith in his 1994 Wired magazine article called “This Is Your Brain on Tetris”, the effect has been observed by psychologists and researchers. The lasting images of Tetris are due to the “Zeigarnik effect”, in which people have better memories of uncompleted tasks than those of completed ones. Tetris, being a game that technically never ends, keeps you thinking of the game’s unfinished task, reported Tech Times. And the catchy music stays with you, too.
There are also positives to the Tetris Effect. In his 1991 study, psychologist Richard Haier at the University of California found that continuously playing Tetris resulted in the thickness of the cerebral cortex (大脑皮层) increasing, which improves brain efficiency (效率), reported psychology website Practical Pie. Haier’s discovery got Tetris put into the Guinness World Records Video Gamer’s Edition 2008, as the “first video game to be proven to improve brain functioning and efficiency”.
Tetris has also been researched for use as a treatment for people suffering from trauma (创伤). The Yale Scientific Magazine reported that researchers at John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford, UK, found that playing Tetris appeared to reduce intrusive (侵入性的) memories in the short term for individuals affected by motor vehicle accidents.
So, the next time you want to play a computer game, why not try the classic Tetris and see if it improves your brain function? But he warned, you’ll likely be seeing falling blocks everywhere.
28. What does the underlined word “obsessed” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Quite shocked. B. Extremely interested.
C. Highly satisfied. D. Very curious.
29. What can we learn about the “Tetris Effect” from the text?
A. It is related to how our memory works. B. It is an uncommon among Tetris players.
C. It can result in the “Zeigarnik effect”. D. It is mainly related to the game’s music.
30. What benefit can people get from continuously playing Tetris, according to Haier?
A. Improved memory. B. Lifted study efficiency.
C. Better brain function. D. Physical recovery.
31. How does the author sound in the last paragraph?
A. Serious. B. Humorous. C. Worried. D. Doubtful.
【答案】28. B 29. A 30. C 31. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。作者介绍了一款让自己入迷的游戏——俄罗斯方块,描述了这款游戏的一些特点应用以及科学家发现俄罗斯方块对人类大脑有独特的影响,并提议读者可以去体验一下俄罗斯方块。
【28题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段的句子“Before I knew it, I was obsessed. Even when I stopped, my brain was still playing, with the blocks falling in my mind. I started looking at objects in the real world and thinking about how they could be moved and stacked (堆叠) together. I even dreamed about Tetris. (在我意识到之前,我已经obsessed。即使我停止了,我的大脑仍在玩,这些方块在我脑海中落下。我开始观察现实世界中的物体并思考如何将它们移动并堆放在一起。我甚至梦到了俄罗斯方块)”可知,此处描述作者对俄罗斯方块着迷了,所以obsessed的意思是“入迷的,着迷的”,和B项“非常感兴趣”意思相近。故选B。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段第二句“The lasting images of Tetris are due to the “Zeigarnik effect”, in which people have better memories of uncompleted tasks than those of completed ones.(俄罗斯方块的持久图像是由于蔡格尼克记忆效应,这个效应指出人们对未完成任务的记忆比对已完成任务的记忆要好)”可知,俄罗斯方块效应与我们在记忆方面的功能有关。故选A。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段第二句“In his 1991 study, psychologist Richard Haier at the University of California found that continuously playing Tetris resulted in the thickness of the cerebral cortex (大脑皮层) increasing, which improves brain efficiency (效率), reported psychology website Practical Pie.(心理学网站Practical Pie报道,加利福尼亚大学的心理学家 Richard Haier在他的1991年的研究中发现,不断地玩俄罗斯方块会导致大脑皮层厚度增加,改善大脑效率)”可知,研究表明,持续玩俄罗斯方块可以改善大脑效率,让大脑运转更高效。故选C。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“But he warned, you’ll likely be seeing falling blocks everywhere.(但是他警告说,你可能会看到到处都是掉下来的方块)”可知,作者语气是比较轻松有趣、诙谐幽默的。故选B。
D
Begus is a linguist at the University of California, Berkeley. He got the chance, last summer, to observe sperm whales in their wild Caribbean habitat. With him were marine (海洋的) biologists and roboticists. There were also cryptographers and experts in other fields. All have been working together to listen to sperm whales and figure out what they might be saying. They call this Project CETI. Project CETI’s team is not the only group turning to AI for help decoding animal talk. Researchers have trained AI models to sort through the sounds of prairie dogs, dolphins, naked mole rats and many other creatures.
Long before AI came into the picture, scientists and others have worked toward understanding animal communication. Some learned that vervet monkeys have different calls when warning of leopards, eagles or pythons. Others discovered that elephants communicate in rumbles too low for human ears to hear. Bats chatter in squeaks too high for our hearing. Still other groups have explored how bees communicate through dance.
“It took us a long time to measure all these things,” says researcher Karen Bakker. AI, she notes, has the potential to greatly speed up this type of research. Perhaps one day we’ll be able to use AI to build a futuristic chat box that translates animal sounds into human language, or vice versa (反之亦然).
“Al could eventually get us to the point where we understand animals,” says Bakker. What’s interesting to her is what we can learn from how bats and other creatures talk among each other. We should listen to animals for better protection, she argues. For example, a system set up to record whales or elephants can also track their locations. This can help us avoid whales with our boats or prevent elephants from illegal hunters.
32. What is Project CETI aimed at?
A. Applying AI to animal research.
B Improving the living conditions of sperm whales.
C. Preventing all marine life from extinction.
D. Analysing talks of sperm whales.
33. How is the second paragraph developed?
A. By listing figures. B. By giving examples.
C. By making comparisons. D. By analyzing causes.
34. What is NOT true according to Karen Bakker?
A. Animal researches used to be time-consuming.
B. Animals may one day understand human language.
C. We can already well figure out animal talk with AI.
D. We apply AI to eventually assist us protect animals.
35. What is the best title for the text?
A. AI: A Potential Threat to Human Future
B. AI: A Technology Beneficial to the Earth
C. AI: A Tool to Understand and Protect Animals
D AI: A Field of Fierce Major-country Competition
【答案】32. D 33. B 34. C 35. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一个叫CETI的项目旨在通过人工智能分析动物之间的对话,从而可以更好地保护动物。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“All have been working together to listen to sperm whales and figure out what they might be saying. They call this Project CETI.”(他们一直在一起合作,倾听抹香鲸的声音,并弄清楚它们可能在说什么。他们称之为CETI项目。)可知,CETI计划的目的是分析有关抹香鲸他们之间说的话。故选D项。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Long before AI came into the picture, scientists and others have worked toward understanding animal communication. Some learned that vervet monkeys have different calls when warning of leopards, eagles or pythons. Others discovered that elephants communicate in rumbles too low for human ears to hear. Bats chatter in squeaks too high for our hearing. Still other groups have explored how bees communicate through dance.”(早在人工智能出现之前,科学家和其他人就一直在努力了解动物的交流方式。一些人了解到,在警告豹子、鹰或蟒蛇时,长尾猴会发出不同的叫声。其他人发现大象交流的声音太低,人耳听不到。蝙蝠发出的叫声太高,我们听不见。还有一些研究小组探索了蜜蜂是如何通过舞蹈进行交流的。)可推知,第二段是通过举例展开的。故选B项。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“AI, she notes, has the potential to greatly speed up this type of research. Perhaps one day we’ll be able to use AI to build a futuristic chat box that translates animal sounds into human language, or vice versa .”(她指出,人工智能有可能大大加快这类研究的速度。也许有一天,我们可以使用人工智能来构建一个未来主义的聊天框,将动物的声音翻译成人类语言,或者反之亦然。)可推知,在Karen Bakker观点中,我们已经可以用人工智能很好地理解动物的对话这项陈述是不正确的。故选C项。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及最后一段中“We should listen to animals for better protection, she argues. For example, a system set up to record whales or elephants can also track their locations. This can help us avoid whales with our boats or prevent elephants from illegal hunters.”(她认为,为了更好地保护动物,我们应该倾听动物的声音。例如,一个用来记录鲸鱼或大象的系统也可以追踪它们的位置。这可以帮助我们用船只避开鲸鱼,或者防止大象被非法捕猎。)可知,文章主要讲的是一个叫CETI的项目旨在通过人工智能分析动物之间的对话,从而可以更好地保护动物。故文章最好的标题是“人工智能:一个了解和保护动物的工具”。故选C项。
