B Jennifer Egan made her name with her Pulitzer Prize-winning novel,A Visit from the Goon Squad,which was praised for its changing structure.The Candy House,Egan's companion to Goon Squad,borrows its structure from Goon Squad and appears to be part of the trend for fiction based on interventions()in human memory.In Goon Squad,the characters are trapped in the digital age and long to retumn to the past;in The Candy House,now firmly in the brave new world,the characters-many of whom we met in the earlier book-find that they can return. But there's one significant change:where Goon Squad was organized primarily around the music industry,The Candy House shifts its focus to tech.All the familiar technologies are present.But there's also a new service,Own Your Unconscious. This allows users to upload their memories onto a device called the Consciousness Cube,where they can rewatch past experiences as if they were streaming TV,fast- forwarding through the boring bits or silencing the sound.They can edit these memories with MemoryShop software.They can also access other people's memories in the Collective Consciousness. The Candy House begins with Bix,who we last met in Goon Squad as a brilliant Black grad student in the early 1990s.Now it's 2010,and Bix runs a social 第3页，共10页 media empire()He's a big noise,a Steve Jobs-like figure as famed for his style preferences as for his technological work. But Bix has developed a fear.Like a novelist staring down the follow-up to the book that made him famous,Bix has become afraid that he won't be able to make something else as good as his social media network was.He finds his way forward with the concept called the Collective Consciousness. We live in an era of unprecedented(前所未有的)access to other people's minds. Does this access-Egan asks,through the Collective Consciousness-actually make us better at understanding one another?Or are we better off with the novel to connect with others? It probably won't shock you that this novel comes down hard for novels as the winning option.Like Goon Squad before it,The Candy House more than makes its case. 24.What do The Candy House and Goon Squad have in common? A.They center on tech development. B.Some of their characters are the same. C.They are organized around the music industry. D.Most of their stories are related to human memory. 25.What can users do with Own Your Unconscious? A.See into their pasts. B.Upload their new inventions. C.Predict their future experiences. D.Change other people's memories. 26.What can be learned about Bix in The Candy House? A.He is a well-known novelist. B.He plays an influential role in social media C.He is brought into the tech industry by Steve Jobs. D.He shares his memories in the Collective Consciousness. 27.What is the text? A.A news report. B.An introduction to a novelist. C.A book review. D.An advertisement for a book. C As letters of the alphabet go,there is one that is beyond well above its weight. Out of all the entries in the Oxford English Dictionary,only around 360 words begin with the letter"x",and very few of those make it into most people's vocabulary.Yet in spite of this or perhaps because of it-"x"is perhaps the most powerful and attractive letter we have. X-Files,X-Factor,X-Men,Generation X,X-rays,Planet X...the letter is embraced in popular culture and mainly by brands as shorthand for something unknown or others.Its shape can signify everything from love to absence,ban and even death. The tech industry seems to have a particular fondness for the letter.Besides Elon Musk's X,there's Microsoft's gaming controller Xbox,Sony's Xperia 第4页，共10页 smartphone,Apple's iPhone X and operating system OS X.So why are the tech bosses working hard for this one single letter,when there are 25 others they could draw on instead?Tony Thorne,director of the Slang and New Language Archive, sees it as an attempt to appear mysterious,by invoking()various scientific terms like experiential and experimental."'x'is the only letter of the alphabet to not feature in many everyday words.but to also appear in multiple mathematical and technical contexts,"he says. Part of the power of"x"is that it isn't just a letter,it's a symbol:One that humans have been making for thousands of years.Drucker,a researcher says,"In the earlicst sign systems that humans made,crosses and circles were so fundamental because they were so casy to make.We've got stones from France from 20,000 years ago that had crosses and circles on them."From the Middle Ages,those who were illiterate used "x"as a signature. The letter's air of mystery didn't come very early."Part of the mystery of"x" comes from algebra,where it stands for the unknown that has to be solved,"says Drucker..“That comes with the whole mathematical enlightenment(启蒙).”In the 17th century,Descartes named the letters x,y and z to represent unknowns(with a, b and c as knowns).Out of these three letters,it is"x"that has emerged as the major symbol of mystery,etc. 28.What does the underlined word"this"in paragraph 1 refer to? A.The letter"x"is very powerful and attractive. B.Around360 words contain the letter“x”. C."x"is well above its weight. D.Few words starting with"x"go into most people's vocabulary 29.Why do many people name their products with the letter"x"? A.The letter is easier to draw than other letters. B.The letter stands for everyday technical contexts. C.The letter links to different kinds of science terms. D.The letter can make products seem unusual. 30.Why was the letter "x"used in the earliest sign systems? A.It's very simple for people to write "x". B.Most ancient people regarded it as a symbol. C.The earliest human sign system was limited. D.Most people then didn't know how to write. 31.What can we infer from Drucker's words? A.The mystery of"x"origins from algebra totally. B.Math enlightenment means solving the unknown. C.The mystery "x"represents appeared relatively late. D.Descartes standardized the writing of some letters. 第5页，共10页 D Artificial intelligence has become a part of our lives,changing the way we live, work,and interact.AI systems are capable of processing vast amounts of data, analyzing patterns,and producing valuable insights and have changed various industries.
