Books could change lives. April 23 marks World Book and Copyright Day. Here are some widely praised books which received unanimously (全体一致地) high scores on Douban, a major review website in China. The Annoyance of the Gods Author Ma Boyong, who has written The Longest Day in Chang’an, uses the classic Journey to the West as a backdrop to describe a series of workplace issues, such as how to write a work report during a project and how to respond to emergencies. The Man in a Rush Author Wang Jibing is a delivery man whose running routes have accumulated (累积) 150,000 kilometres, equal to running back and forth along the Great Wall of China 15 times. Like all workers from the grassroots of China, Wang records his embarrassment and the self-respect of being a worker. Bright Night Written by Choi Eun-young, the book is a female version of Yu Hua’s To Live. It tells the story of the friendship and struggle of four generations of women. The women in the book are no longer characters to be pitied against one another, nor do they play supporting roles in the lives of men. Elon Musk Elon Musk lived in South Africa as a child, where he often suffered from school bullying (霸凌), but these pains were insignificant compared to the emotional stress caused by his father. World-famous biographer Walter Isaacson uncovers the unknown story of today’s globally notable and creative entrepreneur (企业家) from close observation.

It tells the story of the friendship and struggle of four generations of women. The women in the book are no longer characters to be pitied against one another, nor do they play supporting roles in the lives of men.”（该书由崔恩荣执笔，是余华《活着》的女性版。它讲述了四代女性的友谊和奋斗的故事。书中的女性不再是相互怜悯的角色，也不再是男人生活中的配角。）可知，《明亮的夜晚》（Bright Night）这本书关注的是女性角色。故选C项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Elon Musk”中“World-famous biographer Walter Isaacson uncovers the unknown story of today’s globally notable and creative entrepreneur (企业家) from close observation.”（世界著名的传记作家沃尔特·艾萨克森通过近距离的观察，揭示了当今全球知名和富有创造力的企业家的不为人知的故事。）可知，沃尔特·艾萨克森写了《埃隆·马斯克传》（Elon Musk）这本书。故选B项。 B When Joy Diaz was growing up, her parents devoted (致力于) themselves to humanitarian work. The family lived in Mexico City, and although they were anything but wealthy, they still found ways to help people who were living in extreme poverty. “When I talk about extreme poverty, what I mean is these people lived inside the garbagedump (垃圾堆),” Diaz said. Diaz’s parents did everything they could to support those living in the dump. They started by bringing in teachers and doctors. Eventually, they were able to build a health clinic (诊所), a school, a dining hall and even set up public showers. “But while that was happening, we did not have a home. We were renters,” Diaz said. One day, years into their effort, a man showed up at Diaz’s house. His name was Jack Bloxham, and he had worked with the Diaz family in the past to provide care for community members. He’d come all the way from Richmond, Virginia. “He flew into Mexico City, hopped in a taxi, came to the house, saw my mum and just gave her this paper bag full of money, full of cash. And he said, ‘For many years, I’ ve been wanting to buy a house for you. So here’s the money, Buy a house,’” Diaz remembered. Diaz believes this act of kindness changed her life. Her family moved into a middle class neighbourhood, and the money they saved on rent instead paid for college fee. But the impact of Bloxham’s generosity didn’t end there. “It changed the trajectory (人生轨迹) of generations,” Diaz explained. “Today my children live in a middle class neighbourhood, and because I am college educated, I am able to have a better job than I could have had before.” Bloxham is now in his nineties. Diaz says she will always remember his kindness. “I am forever grateful, Jack. Thank you.” 4. Which words can best describe Diaz’s parents? A. Creative and knowledgeable. B. Kind and caring. C. Poor but optimistic. D. Wealthy but lazy. 5. What did Diaz’s parents do for those living in the dump? A. They put up a dining hall. B. They offered free meals. C. They taught for free in a school. D. They built a big hospital. 6. Why did Jack Bloxham give money to Diaz’s mum? A. To give back to society. B. To earn people’s respect. C. To help buy a house for the Diaz family. D. To support the community members. 7. What can we know from the last two paragraphs? A. Diaz went to college. B. Diaz paid the rent with Bloxham’s money. C. Bloxham was ninety when he bought a house. D. The Diaz family moved to an upper class neighbourhood. 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. C 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。讲述了Joy Diaz的成长故事，重点描述了她的父母如何致力于帮助极度贫困的人们，以及一个名为Jack Bloxham的人如何慷慨解囊，改变Diaz家庭乃至后代生活轨迹的善举。通过个人经历和具体事例展现了人性中的善良与慷慨对他人生活的深刻影响。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第一段中的“When Joy Diaz was growing up, her parents devoted (致力于) themselves to humanitarian work. (在乔伊·迪亚兹的成长过程中，她的父母致力于人道主义工作。)”可知，Diaz的父母致力于人道主义工作，帮助贫困人群，因此他们是善良和有爱心的。故选B。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第二段中的“They started by bringing in teachers and doctors. Eventually, they were able to build a health clinic (诊所), a school, a dining hall and even set up public showers. (他们从引进教师和医生开始。最终，他们建起了一家诊所、一所学校、一个食堂，甚至还设置了公共浴室。)”可知，Diaz的父母为住在垃圾堆里的人们建了一个餐厅。故选A。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第三段中的““He flew into Mexico City, hopped in a taxi, came to the house, saw my mum and just gave her this paper bag full of money, full of cash. And he said, ‘For many years, I’ ve been wanting to buy a house for you. So here’s the money, Buy a house,’” Diaz remembered. (Diaz回忆道：“他飞到墨西哥城，跳上出租车，来到家里，看到我妈妈，就给了她这个装满钱的纸袋。他说，‘多年来，我一直想给你买房子。所以钱来了，买房子。’”。)”可知，Jack Bloxham给Diaz的母亲钱是为了帮助Diaz一家买房子。故选C。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。由文章倒数第二段中的““It changed the trajectory (人生轨迹) of generations,” Diaz explained. “Today my children live in a middle class neighbourhood, and because I am college educated, I am able to have a better job than I could have had before.” (“它改变了几代人的人生轨迹，”迪亚兹解释说。“如今，我的孩子们住在中产阶级社区，因为我受过大学教育，所以我能找到一份比以前更好的工作。”)”可以推断出，Diaz上了大学，并且因为受过高等教育，她能够拥有比以前更好的工作。故选A。 C Human experts spend years roasting and tasting coffee from many places to learn about the beans. They might then combine (混合) a coffee bean from Africa with another one from South America to come up with a new blend (混合). But, a coffee roasting company in Helsinki, Finland is hoping that artificial intelligence, or AI, can help ease the workload. Kaffa Roastery recently brought out its “AI-conic” blend at the Helsinki Coffee Festival. The blend is a mixture of four kinds of beans, including Fazenda Pinhal from Brazil. It is the result of a joint project by Kaffa and Elev, a local AI business. Svante Hampf is the founder of Kaffa Roastery. He and his partners wanted to do an experiment to see what blend the computer would produce. “We basically gave descriptions of all our coffee types and their flavours to AI and instructed it to create a new exciting blend,” Hamp f said. The “AI-conic” blend combined beans from Brazil, Colombia, Ethiopia and Guatemala. It is described as “a well-balanced blend of sweetness and ripe fruit”. Hampf said he thought the combination was “somewhat weird”. He was surprised that the AI programme chose to make the blend out of four different kinds of beans. Most humans choose only two or three beans. However, after the first blind test of the new blend, Kaffa’s coffee experts agreed that the AI-assisted blend was perfect. There was no need to change. Elev’s Antti Merilehto said “AI-conic” is an example of “how AI can introduce new viewpoint to experienced professionals”. The International Coffee Organization says that the 5.6 million people in Finland drink the most coffee per person in the world. And the roasters at Kaffa said they hope the AI project will help to bring more things to the strong coffee culture in the country. Hamp f called it a “first step”, adding, “I think AI has plenty to offer us in the long run. We are particularly impressed of the coffee taste descriptions it created.” 8. What is the function of Paragraph 1? A. To point out a problem. B. To present a finding. C. To introduce the topic. D. To call for a decision. 9. What can we learn about the “AI-conic” blend? A. It is now in mass production. B. It comes in a variety of fruit flavours. C. It is sweeter than other coffee. D. It combines beans from four countries. 10. What does the underlined word “weird” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Strange. B. Great. C. Ordinary. D. Strong. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. AI Robots Help Make Perfect Coffee B. A New Coffee Blend Wins People’s Love C. AI Tries Hand at Blending Coffee in Finland D. AI Projects Are Widely Used in Different Fields 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要讲述了芬兰赫尔辛基的Kaffa Roastery咖啡烘焙公司与当地的AI公司Elev合作，利用人工智能创造出一种新的咖啡混合物“AI-conic”。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Human experts spend years roasting and tasting coffee from many places to learn about the beans. They might then combine (混合) a coffee bean from Africa with another one from South America to come up with a new blend (混合). But, a coffee roasting company in Helsinki, Finland is hoping that artificial intelligence, or AI, can help ease the workload.(人类专家花费数年时间从许多地方烘焙和品尝咖啡，以了解咖啡豆。然后，他们可能会将一种来自非洲的咖啡豆与另一种来自南美的咖啡豆混合在一起，从而得到一种新的混合物。但是，芬兰赫尔辛基的一家咖啡烘焙公司希望人工智能(AI)可以帮助他们减轻工作量)”以及下文讲述人工智能混合咖啡豆可知，本段主要是引出主题——将人工智能应用于咖啡烘焙，故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“The ‘AI-conic’ blend combined beans from Brazil, Colombia, Ethiopia and Guatemala.(这种‘AI-conic’混合了来自巴西、哥伦比亚、埃塞俄比亚和危地马拉的咖啡豆)”可知，AI-conic结合了来自四个国家的咖啡豆。故选D。 【10题详解】 词义猜测题。根据划线词下文“He was surprised that the AI programme chose to make the blend out of four different kinds of beans. Most humans choose only two or three beans. However, after the first blind test of the new blend, Kaffa’s coffee experts agreed that the AI-assisted blend was perfect.(令他惊讶的是，人工智能程序选择用四种不同的咖啡豆进行混合。大多数人只选择两到三颗豆子。然而，在对新配方进行首次盲测后，Kaffa的咖啡专家一致认为，人工智能辅助的配方是完美的)”可知，与人类不同，人工智能程序选择用四种不同的咖啡豆进行混合，经过测试后专家一致认为人工智能辅助的配方是完美的，结合下文关键词“surprised”和“However”可知，一开始Hampf认为人工智能辅助的配方有点奇怪，weird意为“奇怪的”，故选A。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容，结合第二段中“The blend is a mixture of four kinds of beans, including Fazenda Pinhal from Brazil. It is the result of a joint project by Kaffa and Elev, a local AI business.(这种混合物由四种咖啡豆混合而成，其中包括来自巴西的Fazenda Pinhal。这是Kaffa和当地人工智能企业Elev联合项目的成果)”和最后一段中“I think AI has plenty to offer us in the long run. We are particularly impressed of the coffee taste descriptions it created.(我认为从长远来看，人工智能可以为我们提供很多东西。我们对它创造的咖啡味道描述印象特别深刻)”可知，文章主要讲述了芬兰赫尔辛基的Kaffa Roastery咖啡烘焙公司与当地的AI公司Elev合作，利用人工智能创造出一种新的咖啡混合物“AI-conic”。C项“AI在芬兰尝试混合咖啡”为最佳标题，故选C。 D Like many whales and dolphins, sperm whales are highly social animals. They communicate by squeezing(挤压) air through their respiratory(呼吸的) systems. That creates fast clicking sounds. For years, scientists have been trying to understand what the sounds made by the whales mean, with little progress. While they still do not know, they now think the clicks make up a “phonetic alphabet(拼音字母)”that the whales use. The researchers said the whales use the sound to make what are like our words and phrases. The study was published in Nature Communications. The researchers examined more than 8,700 recordings of sperm whale clicks, known as codas. They have found four basic elements that they believe make up a phonetic alphabet. Pratyusha Sharma is the study’s lead researcher. She said the whales can combine the phonetic alphabet in an unlimited number of ways. “It doesn’t appear that they have a fixed set of codas,” said Sharma. “That gives the whales access to a much larger communication system,” she added. Sperm whales have brains that weigh about nine kilogrammes. They have the biggest brains of any known animal. Females live in groups of about 10 and sometimes meet up with hundreds or thousands of other whales. Sperm whales seem to have highly developed social ties. Understanding their communication system could show similarities with human language and society. In Dominica, there is a population of about 200 sperm whales. To get enough samples of clicks, scientists set up underwater recording equipment with microphones at different levels. Devices(设备), called tags, were placed on the whales to record what position they were in when clicking. For example, the devices gathered information on whether the whales were diving, sleeping, or breathing at the surface. The tags also recorded whether there were any other whales nearby. The International Union for Conservation of Nature considers sperm whales “vulnerable (脆弱的)”. The whales were hunted for hundreds of years mostly for the oil contained in their large heads. The whale population is still recovering. 12. What is the study aimed at? A. Making up a new phonetic alphabet. B. Learning words and phrases of humans. C. Recording the behaviour of sea animals. D. Finding out the language of sperm whales. 13. What is the author’s attitude towards the study? A. Concerned. B. Supportive. C. Objective. D. Unclear. 14. How do the scientists collect the samples of clicks? A. By comparing different data. B. By going over the previous reports. C. By observing the videos of the whales. D. By placing underwater recording devices. 15. Where is the text most probably taken from? A. A science magazine. B. A travel brochure. C. A book review. D. A biology textbook. 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了多年来，科学家们一直在研究抹香鲸发出的声音是什么意思，但进展甚微。现在科学家们认为这些咔哒声构成了鲸鱼使用的“音标字母表”。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“For years, scientists have been trying to understand what the sounds made by the whales mean, with little progress. While they still do not know, they now think the clicks make up a “phonetic alphabet(拼音字母)”that the whales use. The researchers said the whales use the sound to make what are like our words and phrases.”（多年来，科学家们一直试图了解鲸鱼发出的声音意味着什么，但进展甚微。虽然他们仍然不知道，但他们现在认为这些咔哒声构成了鲸鱼使用的“音标字母表”。研究人员表示，鲸鱼用这种声音来制造类似于我们的单词和短语。）可推知，这项研究的目的是了解抹香鲸的语言。故选D项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中“ Understanding their communication system could show similarities with human language and society.”（了解它们的交流系统可以发现与人类语言和社会的相似之处。）可知，作者认为研究抹香鲸的交流体系还是很有意义的，所以应该是支持的态度。故选B项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“To get enough samples of clicks, scientists set up underwater recording equipment with microphones at different levels.”（为了获得足够的咔哒声样本，科学家们在水下设置了带有不同级别麦克风的录音设备）可知，科学家们通过放置水下记录设备来收集咔哒声样本的。故选D项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章大意以及第二段“For years, scientists have been trying to understand what the sounds made by the whales mean, with little progress. While they still do not know, they now think the clicks make up a “phonetic alphabet(拼音字母)”that the whales use. The researchers said the whales use the sound to make what are like our words and phrases.”（多年来，科学家们一直试图了解鲸鱼发出的声音意味着什么，但进展甚微。虽然他们仍然不知道，但他们现在认为这些咔哒声构成了鲸鱼使用的“音标字母表”。研究人员表示，鲸鱼用这种声音来制造类似于我们的单词和短语。）可知，这篇文章主要讲了多年来，科学家们一直在研究抹香鲸发出的声音是什么意思，但进展甚微。现在科学家们认为这些咔哒声构成了鲸鱼使用的“音标字母表”。前文提及很多科学研究，因此可以推断出这篇文章可能来自于一本科学杂志。故选A项。 第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Sometimes the hardest thing about saving money is just getting started.

After they were finished she grabbed Bonnie and said, “We deserve a break.

I have to find a higher-paying job to provide for my family. If it weren’t for my parents keeping my kids, well, we wouldn’t make it.” “Bonnie, you’re so good with patients, and you love working here. Why don’t you go to school and become a nurse? There’s financial help available, and I’m sure your parents would agree to keep the kids while you are in class.” “It’s too late for me, Alice; I’m too old for school,” Bonnie said. “Honey, it’s never too late to become what you’ve dreamed of. Let me tell you how I know.” Alice began share her story few people knew. It turned out Alice had a failed marriage, which left her two daughters and some debts (债务). She struggled to make ends meet.

With tears in her eyes, she promised Alice that she would look into nursing programs and take the necessary steps to make her dream a reality. “Bonnie, promise me that you will go to school and become a nurse,” Alice said. “Thank you, Alice. You have inspired me to believe in myself and my abilities. I will work hard and make you proud,” Bonnie said with determination.

Books could change lives. April 23 marks World Book and Copyright Day. Here are some widely praised books which received unanimously (全体一致地) high scores on Douban, a major review website in China. The Annoyance of the Gods Author Ma Boyong, who has written The Longest Day in Chang’an, uses the classic Journey to the West as a backdrop to describe a series of workplace issues, such as how to write a work report during a project and how to respond to emergencies. The Man in a Rush Author Wang Jibing is a delivery man whose running routes have accumulated (累积) 150,000 kilometres, equal to running back and forth along the Great Wall of China 15 times. Like all workers from the grassroots of China, Wang records his embarrassment and the self-respect of being a worker. Bright Night Written by Choi Eun-young, the book is a female version of Yu Hua’s To Live. It tells the story of the friendship and struggle of four generations of women. The women in the book are no longer characters to be pitied against one another, nor do they play supporting roles in the lives of men. Elon Musk Elon Musk lived in South Africa as a child, where he often suffered from school bullying (霸凌), but these pains were insignificant compared to the emotional stress caused by his father. World-famous biographer Walter Isaacson uncovers the unknown story of today’s globally notable and creative entrepreneur (企业家) from close observation. Let’s discover the power of books and unlock a world of lifelong benefits through reading. 1. What is the book The Annoyance of the Gods about? A. A worker’s life of struggle. B.

B When Joy Diaz was growing up, her parents devoted (致力于) themselves to humanitarian work. The family lived in Mexico City, and although they were anything but wealthy, they still found ways to help people who were living in extreme poverty. “When I talk about extreme poverty, what I mean is these people lived inside the garbagedump (垃圾堆),” Diaz said. Diaz’s parents did everything they could to support those living in the dump. They started by bringing in teachers and doctors. Eventually, they were able to build a health clinic (诊所), a school, a dining hall and even set up public showers. “But while that was happening, we did not have a home. We were renters,” Diaz said. One day, years into their effort, a man showed up at Diaz’s house. His name was Jack Bloxham, and he had worked with the Diaz family in the past to provide care for community members. He’d come all the way from Richmond, Virginia. “He flew into Mexico City, hopped in a taxi, came to the house, saw my mum and just gave her this paper bag full of money, full of cash. And he said, ‘For many years, I’ ve been wanting to buy a house for you. So here’s the money, Buy a house,’” Diaz remembered. Diaz believes this act of kindness changed her life. Her family moved into a middle class neighbourhood, and the money they saved on rent instead paid for college fee. But the impact of Bloxham’s generosity didn’t end there. “It changed the trajectory (人生轨迹) of generations,” Diaz explained. “Today my children live in a middle class neighbourhood, and because I am college educated, I am able to have a better job than I could have had before.” Bloxham is now in his nineties. Diaz says she will always remember his kindness. “I am forever grateful, Jack. Thank you.” 4. Which words can best describe Diaz’s parents? A. Creative and knowledgeable. B. Kind and caring. C. Poor but optimistic. D. Wealthy but lazy. 5. What did Diaz’s parents do for those living in the dump? A. They put up a dining hall. B. They offered free meals. C. They taught for free in a school. D. They built a big hospital. 6. Why did Jack Bloxham give money to Diaz’s mum? A. To give back to society. B To earn people’s respect. C. To help buy a house for the Diaz family. D. To support the community members. 7. What can we know from the last two paragraphs? A. Diaz went to college. B. Diaz paid the rent with Bloxham’s money. C. Bloxham was ninety when he bought a house. D. The Diaz family moved to an upper class neighbourhood. C Human experts spend years roasting and tasting coffee from many places to learn about the beans. They might then combine (混合) a coffee bean from Africa with another one from South America to come up with a new blend (混合). But, a coffee roasting company in Helsinki, Finland is hoping that artificial intelligence, or AI, can help ease the workload. Kaffa Roastery recently brought out its “AI-conic” blend at the Helsinki Coffee Festival. The blend is a mixture of four kinds of beans, including Fazenda Pinhal from Brazil. It is the result of a joint project by Kaffa and Elev, a local AI business. Svante Hampf is the founder of Kaffa Roastery. He and his partners wanted to do an experiment to see what blend the computer would produce. “We basically gave descriptions of all our coffee types and their flavours to AI and instructed it to create a new exciting blend,” Hamp f said. The “AI-conic” blend combined beans from Brazil, Colombia, Ethiopia and Guatemala. It is described as “a well-balanced blend of sweetness and ripe fruit”. Hampf said he thought the combination was “somewhat weird”. He was surprised that the AI programme chose to make the blend out of four different kinds of beans. Most humans choose only two or three beans. However, after the first blind test of the new blend, Kaffa’s coffee experts agreed that the AI-assisted blend was perfect. There was no need to change. Elev’s Antti Merilehto said “AI-conic” is an example of “how AI can introduce new viewpoint to experienced professionals”. The International Coffee Organization says that the 5.6 million people in Finland drink the most coffee per person in the world.

AI Tries Hand at Blending Coffee in Finland D AI Projects Are Widely Used in Different Fields D Like many whales and dolphins, sperm whales are highly social animals. They communicate by squeezing(挤压) air through their respiratory(呼吸的) systems. That creates fast clicking sounds. For years, scientists have been trying to understand what the sounds made by the whales mean, with little progress. While they still do not know, they now think the clicks make up a “phonetic alphabet(拼音字母)”that the whales use. The researchers said the whales use the sound to make what are like our words and phrases. The study was published in Nature Communications. The researchers examined more than 8,700 recordings of sperm whale clicks, known as codas. They have found four basic elements that they believe make up a phonetic alphabet. Pratyusha Sharma is the study’s lead researcher. She said the whales can combine the phonetic alphabet in an unlimited number of ways. “It doesn’t appear that they have a fixed set of codas,” said Sharma. “That gives the whales access to a much larger communication system,” she added. Sperm whales have brains that weigh about nine kilogrammes They have the biggest brains of any known animal. Females live in groups of about 10 and sometimes meet up with hundreds or thousands of other whales. Sperm whales seem to have highly developed social ties. Understanding their communication system could show similarities with human language and society. In Dominica, there is a population of about 200 sperm whales. To get enough samples of clicks, scientists set up underwater recording equipment with microphones at different levels. Devices(设备), called tags, were placed on the whales to record what position they were in when clicking. For example, the devices gathered information on whether the whales were diving, sleeping, or breathing at the surface. The tags also recorded whether there were any other whales nearby. The International Union for Conservation of Nature considers sperm whales “vulnerable (脆弱的)”. The whales were hunted for hundreds of years mostly for the oil contained in their large heads. The whale population is still recovering. 12. What is the study aimed at? A. Making up a new phonetic alphabet. B. Learning words and phrases of humans. C. Recording the behaviour of sea animals. D. Finding out the language of sperm whales. 13. What is the author’s attitude towards the study? A. Concerned. B. Supportive. C. Objective. D. Unclear. 14. How do the scientists collect the samples of clicks? A. By comparing different data. B. By going over the previous reports. C. By observing the videos of the whales. D. By placing underwater recording devices. 15. Where is the text most probably taken from? A. A science magazine. B. A travel brochure. C. A book review. D. A biology textbook. 第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Sometimes the hardest thing about saving money is just getting started.
