B All I had to do for the two dollars was to clean her house for a few hours after school. It was a beautiful house with things that were common in her neighborhood absent in mine. Working for her brought me a sense of pride, not only because I could immerse in little luxuries like movies and candy, but also because I contributed half of my earnings to my mother, ensuring they were used for necessities. I was not like the children in folk tales: burdensome mouths to feed, problems so severe that they were abandoned to the forest. I had a status that doing routine chores in my house did not provide — and it earned me a slow smile, an approving nod from an adult and confirmations that I was adult-like, not childlike. In those days, children were not just loved or liked; they were needed. They could earn money; they could care for children younger than themselves; they could work the farm, take care of the herd, and much more. I suspect that children aren’t needed in that way now. They are loved, protected and spoiled. Little by little, I got better at cleaning her house — good enough to be given more to do. After struggling to move the piano, my limbs ached terribly. Despite wanting to decline or voice my discomfort, I feared losing my job and the independence and respect it afforded me. She began to offer me her clothes, for a price. Impressed by these worn things, which looked simply elegant to a little girl who had only two dresses to wear to school, I bought a few. Still, I had trouble summoning up (鼓起) the courage to object to the increasing demands she made. Despite feeling overwhelmed, I hesitated to voice my concerns, knowing my mother would urge me to quit. However, one day while alone in the kitchen with my father, I expressed my disappointment. In any case, he put down his cup of coffee and said, “Get your money. Whatever the work is, do it well — not for the boss but for yourself. You make the job; it doesn’t make you. You are not the work you do; you are the person you are.” I have worked for all sorts of people since then, geniuses and fools, quick-witted and dull, big-hearted and narrow. I’ve had many kinds of jobs, but since that conversation with my father, I have never considered the level of labor to be the measure of myself, and I have never placed the security of a job above my self-worth and family value. 4.

C Falcons (猎鹰) are powerful birds that may be trained to hunt in cooperation with humans. The art of training falcons as “hunting dogs of the skies” is called falconry. It was developed in the ancient Arabian Desert around 4000 B. C. In the past, falconry mainly involved hunting with falcons to supplement one’s diet. But now, it has become the favorite sport and spare-time activities in the Arabian Peninsula. Falconry includes three major processes: acquiring the falcons, training them, and hunting with them. Every year, falconers begin capturing wild falcons in June and July, the migration season. The best birds to catch are the ones with naturally nurtured hunting skills, aged one or two years. Once the falcons are captured, their heads are immediately covered with a leather hood (罩). This is essential because they imprint as their master whomever they see first after the hood is removed. Right after a bird is caught, the training process starts. It begins by depriving the bird of food to make it easier to domesticate. The birds are taught to know their own name and respond to their master when called. Arab falconers live with their birds day and night in order to build a strong relationship with them. By the end of October or mid-November, the trained falcons are ready to hunt in the desert. They have excellent vision, 2.6 times greater than that of a human. They are also the fastest divers on the planet. One hunting technique that sets them apart from other animals is that they can be trained to deliver their prey (猎物), without killing it first. This is vital in Islamic culture because animals used for food must still be alive to ensure that the meat is halal, that is, properly prepared according to Islamic law. Falcons have played such a crucial role in traditional Islamic cultures that a number of countries in the Middle East have made them their national bird. Falconry has grown so popular that specialist hospitals have been established to take care of these magnificent birds. Falcons are even issued their own passports. They are the only animals in the United Arab Emirates that are legally allowed to travel inside planes, enjoying a level of luxury that some humans can only dream of. 8. What is the main reason for Arabic people to hunt with falcons today? A. To improve their diet. B. To serve as recreation and exercise. C. To honor their national bird. D. To replace the practice of hunting with dogs. 9. Which of the following can be inferred from the second paragraph? A. Falconers don’t offer food to falcons in order to capture them. B. Falcons are kept from seeing their trainers during the training process. C. Wild falcons with natural hunting skills are ideal for falconers to catch. D. The trainers’ names are written on the hoods covering the birds’ heads. 10. What especially makes falcons a unique species for hunting in Islamic culture? A. Falcons keep their prey alive until it’s presented to the falconers. B. Falcons can be trained relatively easily for targeted hunting purposes. C. Falcons possess vision well-suited for hunting in desert environments. D. Falcons are capable of rapidly developing a strong bond with their handlers. 11. According to the article, what privilege do falcons enjoy in the Arab world? A. Air tickets free of charge. B. Access to specialized medical care. C. Luxuries unique to Arab. D. Passports honorably issued by the King. D Scientists are poor forecasters of the future. But two trends can be confidently predicted. First, the world will get more crowded. There will be more than 9 billion people by 2050. Second, the world will get warmer and some governments won’t prioritize the long-term measures needed to deal with climate change, even though science offers us a road-map to a low-carbon future. That’s why we should be promoters of new technology — without it the world can’t provide the food and sustainable energy needed for an expanding population. But we should also be cautious, as new technologies, such as AI, may be hard to control. AI will undoubtedly become more aggressive in the future. Records of our movements, health and financial transactions will be stored in the cloud. The data may be used for justifiable reasons, such as protein folding and drug development, or to warn us of initial health risks, but its availability to Internet companies is already shifting the balance of power from governments to global-scale corporations. Actually, it’s beyond Earth that AI has the most enormous potential. Humans may have established bases beyond Earth by the year 2100. But don’t ever expect mass emigration (移民) from Earth. It’s a false belief that space offers an escape from our problems. Dealing with climate change on Earth is a piece of cake compared to terraforming (地球化) Mars. Nevertheless, we should cheer on these brave human space adventurers. They’ll be ill-adapted to a Martian habitat, so they’ll have a super motive to redesign themselves. It’s they, not those of us adapted to life on Earth, who will pioneer the post-human era (时代). If post-humans make the shift from flesh and blood to fully artificial intelligence, they won’t need an atmosphere of even gravity, so it’s in deep space — not even on Mars that non biological “brains” may develop powers that we can’t imagine. They may end up being mentally different from us. AI could jump-start a huge emigration and thus even more complex intelligence spreads through the universe. But let’s refocus from the science fiction of the far future closer to the here and now. This century is special. It’s the first, in Earth’s 4.5-billion-year history where one species-ours—holds the planet’s future in its hands. Our intelligence could initiate billions of years of post-human evolution (演化), even more amazing than that which led to us. On the other hand, humans could cause biological, environmental or cyber catastrophes that foreclose all this potential. If science is to save us, we need to think globally, sensibly and long-term—empowered by science, but guided by values that science alone can’t provide. 12. Why does the author mention the two trends in the first paragraph? A. To justify the governments’ policies. B. To criticize scientists’ poor prediction ability. C. To advocate for advancements in tech. D. To highlight the challenges faced by scientists. 13. According to this passage, AI can ________. A. put an end to climate change B. facilitate mass human migration C. speed up the competition in medical fields D. bring about potential threats from big companies 14. As for the future, which of the following will the author agree with? A. Post-humans will echo the history of humans. B. Complex intelligence will dominate the universe. C Non-biological brains may invite unknown disasters. D. Fully artificial intelligence may inhabit outer space. 15. Which would be the best title for the passage? A. Future of Humanity: Could AI Save Us? B. Change or Die: Will Science Lead Further Evolution? C. Towards a Sustainable Future: What Can We Do? D. Unstoppable Trend: Is Complex Intelligence Coming? 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。 How Your Brain Deceives You Your brain possesses some incredible abilities, from recalling conversations with close friends to tackling complex math problems with ease. ____16____ At times, it may even overlook critical information, resulting in errors that could be bad for your well-being or health. ____17____ One of the biggest shortcomings of your brain is that it can get lazy. When trying to solve a problem or make a decision, your mind often falls back on solutions that have worked in the past. While using shortcuts can be a useful and effective approach, they can also trip you up and cause you to make mistakes. For example, maybe you’re terrified of flying because you can think of several tragic, high-profile plane crashes. In reality, traveling by air is much safer than traveling by car. ____18____ Moreover, your brain might fail to detect significant changes occurring in your surroundings, a phenomenon referred to as change blindness. ____19____ — otherwise, it will get overwhelmed. Seemingly not like a huge problem, it can have major consequences according to some research. For example, people who have jobs like air traffic control can make potentially disastrous errors as a result of change blindness. ____20____ In the process, we twist reality to protect our self-esteem — in other words, we don’t want to own up when we mess up. Why do we participate in the blame game? Researchers believe it’s to safeguard our self-esteem and shield ourselves from the fear of failure. When adopting this mindset, we attribute negative outcomes to factors beyond our control. A. Your brain has to prioritize what it pays attention to. B. But it is not that perfect and open to imperfections. C. This realization can carry you through some unnecessary errors. D. However, you can avoid some of these errors by acquiring a better understanding of them. E. It goes without saying that your brain is incapable of processing all information at the the same time. F. When something goes wrong, your brain instinctively seeks someone or something to hold responsible. G. However, your brain is using a mental shortcut to fool you into believing flying is more dangerous than it is. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 （共15小题：每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 A bunch of brilliant yellow flowers was dedicated to my mother.

If only I could stretch my roots so deep and straight that something tugging on my stem (茎) couldn’t _____30_____ me completely from the source that feeds me life. If only I could come back to face the world with a bright, sunshiny face after someone has run me over with a _____31_____ or worse, purposely attacked me in an attempt to destroy me.
