William Lindesay, a famous Great Wall expert and conservationist, and his wife Wu Qi have traveled the globe by the back paths, providing their sons with a unique growing environment. Sun hats, backpacks and sneakers (运动鞋)—these are the day-to-day must-haves for the family.
Most of their trips seem far from relaxing—cultural study in the hot and dry desert, a 53-kilometer hiking tour of New Zealand, a one-day climb to three English mountaintops and a six-day train ride from Beijing to Moscow.
Many assume the family must be wealthy and can afford their global travel, but they are not. Lindesay says they just choose to spend money on travel and eschew pricey hotels and restaurants where possible. Lindesay mentions the trip to Moscow as an example. Instead of taking a taxi from the railway station to the hotel, they took the subway. “We crossed the city for saving money, communicated with local people, and saw they are people just like us, everywhere. We arrived at our destination feeling comfortable.”
However, their journeys, which can last weeks or months, have sometimes been inconsistent with their children’s schooling. Wu remembers once Lindesay let their elder son ask for leave so that they could go to New York for a 45-day lecture tour. Therefore the son missed his final exam. Things like that bother the family all the time.
Lindesay attaches great importance to learning out of the classroom, saying that children might score well on school tests, but traveling outside, in distant lands with different languages, cultures, and political structures, is the real test. “You can only get streetwise on the street. You can only get worldly-wise when seeing the world,” he says.
24. How can we describe the Lindesays’ trips?
A. Pleasant. B. Conventional C. Challenging. D. Dangerous.
25. What does the underlined word “eschew” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Visit. B. Avoid. C. Compare. D. Evaluate.
26. What problem does the family meet when traveling?
A. They have scheduling conflicts.
B. They suffer from a tight budget.
C They are faced with language barriers.
D. They hold different educational ideas.
27. Which statement may Lindesay agree with according to the text?
A. Toughness is the best assistant of will. B. Man who travels far knows more.
C. Actions speak louder than words. D. There is no royal road to learning.
C
A study from 2010 said that raising prices by 1% without losing sales can increase profits by 8.7% on average. Getting the prices right can be difficult. Set them too high and you lose customers; set them too low and you leave money on the table.
To make more money, shopkeepers have been turning to price-optimization (优化) systems that predict how customers will respond to price changes. These systems are becoming cleverer thanks to advances in artificial intelligence (AI). While older systems used historical sales data to estimate (估计) price sensitivity for individual goods, the latest AI-powered systems can find relationships between multiple goods. These AI-powered systems use big data to estimate price sensitivity — how much demand increases as the price falls or how much demand decreases as the price goes up-for thousands of products. Price-sensitive (价格敏感的) goods can then be discounted and price-insensitive ones marked up.
All this makes pricing systems “much more three-dimensional”, observes Chad Yoes, the pricing official at Walmart, a supermarket. In February, Starbucks, a chain of coffee shops, expressed pride in its use of AI to price products “on an ongoing basis”. US Foods, a food company, says its pricing system can promote sales and profits.
Price-optimization may make prices change more. “Shopkeepers are pricing faster today than they ever have before,” says Matt Pavich of Revionics, a pricing-software firm. That is especially true in the fast-moving world of e-commerce. But even Walmart changes the prices of many items in its stores 2-4 times a year, says Mr Yoes. up from once or twice a few years ago.
Sysco, a food company, says the AI-powered system allows it to lower prices on “key value items” and raise prices on other products. It can thus increase profits by expanding sales while maintaining profits. That keeps investors content and shoppers sweet.
28. What can be learned from the first paragraph?
A. It is sometimes difficult to set the right prices.
B. Getting the prices right can make you lose customers.
C. Raising prices by 1% always leads to an 8.7% increase in profits.
D. The study from 2010 suggests that you leave money on the table.
29. What is the advantage of AI-powered pricing systems over older systems?
A. They are more price-sensitive.
B. They make prices change more.
C. They can predict price sensitivity for individual goods.
D. They are able to identify links between various products.
30. According to the text, which of the following products will shopkeepers reduce the price of?
A. Starbucks coffee. B. Price-insensitive goods.
C. Walmart’s online goods. D. Sysco’s “key value items”.
31. What is the best title for the text?
A. Apply AI to Set Prices B. Raise Prices to Increase Profits
C. Reduce Prices to Promote Sales D. Use AI to Predict Customer Response
D
As the global population grows and shifts towards urban living, the land available in our cities is being under increasing pressure.In order to be sustainable, cities need to find ways to minimize their urban expansion.One option is to build upwards; another is to dig down.
In Montreal, constructed underground to relieve overcrowding in the city streets is RESO —one of the largest underground complexes in the world.It is a network connecting everything from shops and banks to flats and hotels.This shows how going underground can meet human needs whilst also bringing certain environmental benefits.Underground transport can reduce traffic jam above ground, thereby improving air quality.Furthermore, thanks to their relatively constant climate throughout the year, underground spaces consume less energy for heating and cooling.
When planning underground construction projects, developers must consider existing structures on or near the site, such as the remains of historic buildings.Designers must also ensure any underground space intended for human use has good air quality.One example is the forthcoming LDN Hotel,an underground hotel beneath the streets of London.Designers are using a wide range of plans to help keep the air inside clean,together with a state-of-the-art ventilation system (通风系统).
Light is another key consideration.In New York, plans for the world's first underground park Demonstrate novel ways of bringing natural rays beneath the surface.By employing solar technology light is to be reflected down through a series of pipes into the terminal below.This light would be sufficient for photosynthesis (光合作用) to occur and the park's plants to grow naturally.
Today's architects are developing innovative ways to make underground spaces functional and comfortable.The question remains whether they can provide sustainable and realistic options for the future.Besides practical considerations, there exists the challenge of building a positive perception of “going underground".Yet, the obvious challenges of constructing habitable underground spaces must be weighed against the urgent issue of housing the world's ballooning population.One day, it will feel as natural to live and work underground as it does to do so over 100 storeys high.
32. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 2?
A. To advertise the underground complexes.
B. To give suggestions on relieving crowdedness.
C. To explain how the underground network works.
D. To introduce the benefits of building underground.
33. How does the author develop his opinion?
A. By giving examples.
B. By listing study findings.
C. By making comparisons.
D. By quoting others' words.
34. Which of the following will the author agree?
A. Going underground can solve the problem of global warming.
B. Good air quality is superior to other factors.
C. Natural light is not necessary for underground plants.
D. The future of going underground calls for people's positive attitude.
35. What is the text mainly about?
A. Ways to house the world population.
B. Concerns for the urban expansion.
C. Why and how to build underground.
D. The promising future of our cities.

There is no way they just drove into that water, thought Corion Evans. The 16-year-old was hanging out with his friend in a parking area underneath a Moss Point Mississippi, highway in July when a car with three teenage girls inside drove off a boat ramp(斜坡)and into the Pascagoula River. It came to rest some 20 feet from land and then sank. “The driver of the car”, Evans thought, must have blindly followed wrong directions from her GPS.
It was around 2:30 a.m. by the time Evans and his friend Karon Bradley got to the river’s edge. In the darkness they could hardly make out the girls holding tightly to the roof, the only part of the car still, barely, above water. But they could hear screaming.
Evans took off his shirt and shoes, threw his phone down, and then dived into the water, a river he knew alligators(短吻鳄)called home. He helped the first girl he saw and, keeping her head above water led her ashore.
Just then, a man called out. Police Officer Garry Mercer had arrived. He dived into the river to help another of the girls. But halfway back to shore she panicked and went underwater. pulling Mercer down with her. Evans jumped back into the water and helped them until they could stand. “If he hadn’t been there, who knows?” Mercer told the Washington Post.
There was still one girl in the water. Cora Watson, 19, could not swim. She was drinking water, struggling to stay afloat. And scared.

William Lindesay, a famous Great Wall expert and conservationist, and his wife Wu Qi have traveled the globe by the back paths, providing their sons with a unique growing environment. Sun hats, backpacks and sneakers (运动鞋)—these are the day-to-day must-haves for the family.
Most of their trips seem far from relaxing—cultural study in the hot and dry desert, a 53-kilometer hiking tour of New Zealand, a one-day climb to three English mountaintops and a six-day train ride from Beijing to Moscow.
Many assume the family must be wealthy and can afford their global travel, but they are not. Lindesay says they just choose to spend money on travel and eschew pricey hotels and restaurants where possible. Lindesay mentions the trip to Moscow as an example. Instead of taking a taxi from the railway station to the hotel, they took the subway. “We crossed the city for saving money, communicated with local people, and saw they are people just like us, everywhere. We arrived at our destination feeling comfortable.”
However, their journeys, which can last weeks or months, have sometimes been inconsistent with their children’s schooling. Wu remembers once Lindesay let their elder son ask for leave so that they could go to New York for a 45-day lecture tour. Therefore the son missed his final exam. Things like that bother the family all the time.
Lindesay attaches great importance to learning out of the classroom, saying that children might score well on school tests, but traveling outside, in distant lands with different languages, cultures, and political structures, is the real test. “You can only get streetwise on the street. You can only get worldly-wise when seeing the world,” he says.
24. How can we describe the Lindesays’ trips?
A. Pleasant. B. Conventional C. Challenging. D. Dangerous.
25. What does the underlined word “eschew” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Visit. B. Avoid. C. Compare. D. Evaluate.
26. What problem does the family meet when traveling?
A. They have scheduling conflicts.
B. They suffer from a tight budget.
C. They are faced with language barriers.
D. They hold different educational ideas.
27. Which statement may Lindesay agree with according to the text?
A. Toughness is the best assistant of will. B. Man who travels far knows more.
C. Actions speak louder than words. D. There is no royal road to learning.
【答案】24. C 25. B 26. A 27. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是新闻报道。文章主要介绍著名长城专家、自然资源保护主义者威廉﹒林赛(William Lindesay)和他的妻子吴琪(Wu Qi)通过环游世界,为他们的儿子提供了一个独特的成长环境。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Most of their trips seem far from relaxing—cultural study in the hot and dry desert, a 53-kilometer hiking tour of New Zealand, a one-day climb to three English mountaintops and a six-day train ride from Beijing to Moscow. (他们的大多数旅行似乎都远非放松——在炎热干燥的沙漠中进行文化研究,53公里的新西兰徒步旅行,一天攀登三座英国山顶,以及从北京到莫斯科的六天火车旅行。)”可知,林赛他们一家人的旅行很有挑战性。故选C。
【25题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段“Many assume the family must be wealthy and can afford their global travel, but they are not. Lindesay says they just choose to spend money on travel and eschew pricey hotels and restaurants where possible. Lindesay mentions the trip to Moscow as an example. Instead of taking a taxi from the railway station to the hotel, they took the subway. (许多人认为这个家庭一定很富有,能够负担得起他们的全球旅行费用,但事实并非如此。林赛说,他们只是选择把钱花在旅行上,尽可能eschew昂贵的酒店和餐馆。林赛提到莫斯科之行就是一个例子。他们没有从火车站乘出租车去旅馆,而是乘地铁去了。)”可知,林赛一家人并不是很富有,他们没有从火车站乘出租车去旅馆,而是乘地铁去了。所以,他们应该是尽可能避开昂贵的酒店和餐馆。所以,eschew的意思应该是“避开”,和选项B意思一致。故选B。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“However, their journeys, which can last weeks or months, have sometimes been inconsistent with their children’s schooling. Wu remembers once Lindesay let their elder son ask for leave so that they could go to New York for a 45-day lecture tour. Therefore the son missed his final exam. Things like that bother the family all the time. (然而,他们的旅程可能会持续数周或数月,有时与孩子的学业不一致。吴琪记得有一次林赛让他们的大儿子请假,让他们去纽约做45天的巡回演讲。因此,儿子错过了期末考试。这样的事情一直困扰着这个家庭。)”可知,林赛他们一家人的旅行会和孩子的学习安排不一致。故选A。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Lindesay attaches great importance to learning out of the classroom, saying that children might score well on school tests, but traveling outside, in distant lands with different languages, cultures, and political structures, is the real test. “You can only get streetwise on the street. You can only get worldly-wise when seeing the world,” he says. (林赛非常重视在课堂外学习,他说孩子们可能在学校考试中得分很高,但真正的考试是在不同语言、文化和政治结构的遥远国度里外出旅行。他说:“你只能在街上变得有街头智慧。只有看到世界,你才能变得有世俗智慧。”)”可知,在林赛看来,只有远行才能让人更有智慧。故选B。
C
A study from 2010 said that raising prices by 1% without losing sales can increase profits by 8.7% on average. Getting the prices right can be difficult. Set them too high and you lose customers; set them too low and you leave money on the table.
To make more money, shopkeepers have been turning to price-optimization (优化) systems that predict how customers will respond to price changes. These systems are becoming cleverer thanks to advances in artificial intelligence (AI). While older systems used historical sales data to estimate (估计) price sensitivity for individual goods, the latest AI-powered systems can find relationships between multiple goods. These AI-powered systems use big data to estimate price sensitivity — how much demand increases as the price falls or how much demand decreases as the price goes up-for thousands of products. Price-sensitive (价格敏感的) goods can then be discounted and price-insensitive ones marked up.
All this makes pricing systems “much more three-dimensional”, observes Chad Yoes, the pricing official at Walmart, a supermarket. In February, Starbucks, a chain of coffee shops, expressed pride in its use of AI to price products “on an ongoing basis”. US Foods, a food company, says its pricing system can promote sales and profits.
Price-optimization may make prices change more. “Shopkeepers are pricing faster today than they ever have before,” says Matt Pavich of Revionics, a pricing-software firm. That is especially true in the fast-moving world of e-commerce. But even Walmart changes the prices of many items in its stores 2-4 times a year, says Mr Yoes. up from once or twice a few years ago.
Sysco, a food company, says the AI-powered system allows it to lower prices on “key value items” and raise prices on other products. It can thus increase profits by expanding sales while maintaining profits. That keeps investors content and shoppers sweet.
28. What can be learned from the first paragraph?
A. It is sometimes difficult to set the right prices.
B. Getting the prices right can make you lose customers.
C. Raising prices by 1% always leads to an 8.7% increase in profits.
D. The study from 2010 suggests that you leave money on the table.
29 What is the advantage of AI-powered pricing systems over older systems?
A. They are more price-sensitive.
B. They make prices change more.
C. They can predict price sensitivity for individual goods.
D. They are able to identify links between various products.
30. According to the text, which of the following products will shopkeepers reduce the price of?
A. Starbucks coffee. B. Price-insensitive goods.
C. Walmart’s online goods. D. Sysco’s “key value items”.
31. What is the best title for the text?
A. Apply AI to Set Prices B. Raise Prices to Increase Profits
C. Reduce Prices to Promote Sales D. Use AI to Predict Customer Response
【答案】28. A 29. D 30. D 31. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章以几家企业为例介绍了他们是如何利用人工智能去为商品定价的。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Getting the prices right can be difficult. Set them too high and you lose customers; set them too low and you leave money on the table.(把价钱调对会很困难。把价格定得过高就会失去客户;把价格定得过低又没有收益)”可知,有时很难确定合适的价格。故选A项。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“While older systems used historical sales data to estimate (估计) price sensitivity for individual goods, the latest AI-powered systems can find relationships between multiple goods.(较老的系统会使用历史销售数据去估计单个商品的价值敏感度,而最新的人工智能系统可以找到多个商品之间的关系)”可知,人工智能定价系统相对于旧系统的优势在于,它们能够识别各种产品之间的联系。故选D项。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Sysco, a food company, says the AI-powered system allows it to lower prices on ‘key value items’ and raise prices on other products.(一家名为Sysco的食品公司认为人工智能系统会降低“关键价值产品”的价格并且提升其他产品的价格)”可知,店主会根据人工智能系统降低Sysco公司的关键价值产品的价格。故选D项。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“Getting the prices right can be difficult. Set them too high and you lose customers; set them too low and you leave money on the table.(把价钱调对会很困难。把价格定得过高就会失去客户;把价格定得过低又没有收益)”及第二段中的“To make more money, shopkeepers have been turning to price-optimization (优化) systems that predict how customers will respond to price changes. These systems are becoming cleverer thanks to advances in artificial intelligence (AI).(为了赚更多的钱,店主们开始使用价格优化系统来预测顾客对价格变化的反应。由于人工智能的进步,这些系统正变得越来越聪明)”可知,文章主要介绍了人们如何利用人工智能去为商品定价。由此可知,A. Apply AI to Set Prices()适合作本文最佳标题。故选A项。
D
As the global population grows and shifts towards urban living, the land available in our cities is being under increasing pressure.In order to be sustainable, cities need to find ways to minimize their urban expansion.One option is to build upwards; another is to dig down.
In Montreal, constructed underground to relieve overcrowding in the city streets is RESO —one of the largest underground complexes in the world.It is a network connecting everything from shops and banks to flats and hotels.This shows how going underground can meet human needs whilst also bringing certain environmental benefits.Underground transport can reduce traffic jam above ground, thereby improving air quality.Furthermore, thanks to their relatively constant climate throughout the year, underground spaces consume less energy for heating and cooling.
When planning underground construction projects, developers must consider existing structures on or near the site, such as the remains of historic buildings.Designers must also ensure any underground space intended for human use has good air quality.One example is the forthcoming LDN Hotel,an underground hotel beneath the streets of London.Designers are using a wide range of plans to help keep the air inside clean,together with a state-of-the-art ventilation system (通风系统).
Light is another key consideration.In New York, plans for the world's first underground park Demonstrate novel ways of bringing natural rays beneath the surface.By employing solar technology light is to be reflected down through a series of pipes into the terminal below.This light would be sufficient for photosynthesis (光合作用) to occur and the park's plants to grow naturally.
Today's architects are developing innovative ways to make underground spaces functional and comfortable.The question remains whether they can provide sustainable and realistic options for the future.Besides practical considerations, there exists the challenge of building a positive perception of “going underground".Yet, the obvious challenges of constructing habitable underground spaces must be weighed against the urgent issue of housing the world's ballooning population.One day, it will feel as natural to live and work underground as it does to do so over 100 storeys high.
32. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 2?
A. To advertise the underground complexes.
B. To give suggestions on relieving crowdedness.
C. To explain how the underground network works.
D. To introduce the benefits of building underground.
33. How does the author develop his opinion?
A. By giving examples.
B. By listing study findings.
C. By making comparisons.
D. By quoting others' words.
34. Which of the following will the author agree?
A. Going underground can solve the problem of global warming.
B. Good air quality is superior to other factors.
C. Natural light is not necessary for underground plants.
D. The future of going underground calls for people's positive attitude.
35. What is the text mainly about?
A. Ways to house the world population.
B. Concerns for the urban expansion.
C. Why and how to build underground.
D. The promising future of our cities.
【答案】32. D 33. A 34. D 35. C
【解析】

推理判断题。根据第二段“In Montreal, constructed underground to relieve overcrowding in the city streets is RESO —one of the largest underground complexes in the world.

It came to rest some 20 feet from land and then sank. “The driver of the car”, Evans thought, must have blindly followed wrong directions from her GPS.
It was around 2:30 a.m. by the time Evans and his friend Karon Bradley got to the river’s edge. In the darkness they could hardly make out the girls holding tightly to the roof, the only part of the car still, barely, above water. But they could hear screaming.
Evans took off his shirt and shoes, threw his phone down, and then dived into the water, a river he knew alligators(短吻鳄)called home. He helped the first girl he saw and, keeping her head above water led her ashore.
Just then a man called out. Police Officer Garry Mercer had arrived. He dived into the river to help another of the girls. But halfway back to shore she panicked and went underwater. pulling Mercer down with her. Evans jumped back into the water and helped them until they could stand. “If he hadn’t been there, who knows?” Mercer told the Washington Post.
