A Lesson for Life
One morning, Sanggat, an eight-year-old student of mine, knocked on my door. He was here to help me sweep my room. He noticed some thick books on my table.
Curiously he asked, “Sir, what books are these?” I told him that those were books I needed to ___13___ for an important exam so that I might go to university someday. He frowned (皱眉) because in this poor area even a bicycle was unheard of. I tried to explain “university” to him.

When the other students ___16___ that Sanggat always volunteered to sweep my room, they wanted to do the same. Soon it became an almost daily job. And Sanggat would never ___17___ to show them my books, each time adding a little commentary (评论) of his own.
I did not realize the influence my ___18___ had on him until the day I broke my neck. I was carried into a speedboat and transported back to the big city. The whole school had gathered by the riverside to say goodbye to me. As the engine started, Sanggat made his way to the boat. With a sad face he asked, “Sir, are you coming back? Perhaps not?”
Then after a few seconds he said, “Sir, if you cannot come back, I’ll see you in the university, yeah?”

My Best Friend Dan
Walking home from school one day, I saw Dan, a kid from my school. “He must be a real nerd (书呆子),” as he was carrying a lot of books. When I continued walking, I saw a group of kids run into Dan, knocking his books out of his arms and he fell over. I ran over to help him, and as we were picking up his books, I saw tears in his eyes.
While I helped him stand up, he looked at me and said, “Thank you so much.” There was a grateful (感激的) smile on his face.
We started talking and soon realized that we lived near each other. We talked all the way home. Dan turned out to be a pretty cool kid. We hung out all weekend and the more I got to know Dan, the more I liked him. Dan and I became best friends.
Over the years in middle school, he became more popular. In our last year, Dan got the best grades in our class, and had to give a speech for graduation.
As Dan started his speech, he looked at me. “Graduation is a time to thank the people who helped you survive those difficult years—your parents, your teachers, but mostly your friends. Being a friend is the best gift you can give. I’m going to tell you a story.” I just looked at Dan in amazement as he told the story of the first day we met. He had planned to talk to his teachers about leaving this school and going to a different one. Dan talked of how he had emptied his desk so his mom wouldn’t have to do it later and was carrying all of his books home. He looked at me and gave me a smile. “Thankfully, I was saved. My friend saved me from making a huge mistake.” Everyone was surprised as he told us about his weakest moment.
24. Why did the writer think Dan was a nerd when they first met?
A. Dan carried many books. B. Dan always cried.
C. Dan had few friends. D. Dan had no smile.
25. What happened to Dan in the last year of middle school?
A. He decided to go to another school. B. He experienced a difficult year.
C. He got the best grades in his class. D. He turned out to be a weak kid.
26. What does the writer want to tell us?
A. All roads lead to Rome. B. Kindness is the sunshine of life.
C. Well begun is half done. D. Failure is the mother of success.
C
People have long thought that AI will soon enough take jobs with repetitive labour (重复性劳动), such as truck drivers, cleaners, but cannot copy the creativity only human brains can produce. Truck drivers, retail cashiers and warehouse workers would all lose their jobs to robots, they said, while workers in creative fields like art, entertainment and media would be safe.
Well, an unexpected thing has happened recently: AI has entered the creative class.
In the past few months, AI-based image generators (图像生成器) like DALL-E 2, Midjourney and Stable Diffusion have made it possible for anyone to create unique, hyper-realistic (超现实) images just by typing a few words into a text box. These apps, though new, are already surprisingly popular. DALL-E 2, has more than 1.5 million users generating more than two million images every day, while Midjourney has more than three million members.
It’s still too early to tell whether this new wave of apps will end up costing artists and illustrators their jobs. What seems clear, though, is that these tools are already being put to use in creative industries.
A few months ago, Sarah Drummond, a designer in London started using AI-generated images. Instead of spending hours creating sketches by hand, Ms. Drummond, now types what she wants into DALL-E 2 or Midjourney.
“All of a sudden, I can take like 15 seconds and go, ‘Woman at restaurant, black-and-white sketch,’ and get something back that’s really professional (专业的),” she said.
Ms. Drummond added that AI image generators had limitations. They aren’t good at more difficult sketches, for example, or creating different images with the same character. And like the other creative artists, she said she didn’t think AI designers would replace human illustrators completely.
“Would I use it for final output? No. I would hire someone to fully make what we wanted to realize,” she said. “But the throwaway work that you do when you’re any kind of designer, whether it’s visual, architectural, urban planner—you’re sketching, sketching sketching. And so this is a sketch tool.”
27. According to the passage, AI based image generators can ________.
A. take the place of truck drivers
B. be more creative than humans
C. follow instructions to create certain images
D. create more than two million texts every day
28. What does Ms. Drummond think of AI image generators?
A. They are more convenient for creating basic drawings.
B. They will be widely used and end up costing artists their jobs.
C. They are sketch tools to realize what you want for final output.
D. They are good at creating different images with the same character.
29. What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage?
A. To compare different AI image generators.
B. To explain how AI image generators work.
C. To encourage people to use AI for art work.
D. To show how AI is affecting creative fields.
D
We’ve been told by parents and teachers since we were kids that “It’s good to share.” Taking it as an object of study, psychologists (心理学家) have published various papers stating that the behaviour of sharing is beneficial to setting up positive emotional connecting.
Today, the action of sharing takes on more meaning. We are using technology to reduce the money that we spend on goods and services, or to make money out of those that we don’t use all the time. These differ from car shares to home shares, and even to pet shares. It is creating new ways of thinking and is providing services to people when and where they want them.
This sharing economy (经济) is an answer to our increasing need for quality goods and services at competitive prices, all delivered at a click. Whether it’s an online shop where we can get designer clothes at rock-bottom prices (租) out our flats for a couple of days, it’s out there. Whether we’re a lender or a borrower; everyone makes or saves money. We also make connections and sometimes even make new friends. What’s more, sharing encourages us to reuse things, there by cutting down on waste.
But the sharing economy is not without its problems as it’s developing faster than ongoing supervision. Some companies are taking unfair advantage of this situation to increase their share of the market. In addition, the sharing economy is open to misuse of trust. Some people have experienced loss of things while renting out their homes, and others have found themselves being stolen or attacked while sharing rides. Finally, the heart of the sharing economy, is not yet safe. Sharing websites collect personal information about almost every part of our lives, locations, bank information, the technology to prevent such information from being stolen still needs improvement, and the awareness of possible risks is low among both service providers and users.
Even though, what is in no doubt is that the sharing economy is increasingly related to our daily lives. It is growing at such a speed that we can only imagine what it will include in the future. What will we be sharing next? Who will be sharing and how? And the most interesting question of all—what type of society will all this sharing take us to?
30. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Online shops are the products of sharing economy.
B. Both service providers and users think highly of risks.
C. Sharing economy encourages lending and borrowing less.
D. Sharing economy offers good services with reasonable prices.
31. The words “ongoing supervision” in Paragraph 4 are closest in meaning to ________.
A final judgement B. fair treatment
C. continuous management D. powerful argument
32. The writer probably agrees that ________.
A. there are more possible risks of sharing than benefits
B. sharing economy will develop widely in different fields
C. it will be a popular way to make friends through sharing
D. sharing economy will bring positive emotional connecting
33 Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. What’s Good to Share
B. What’s Mine Is Yours
C. The History and the Future of Sharing
D. The More You Share, the More You Get
第二部分
四、阅读表达(第34-36题每题2分, 第37题4分, 共10分)
阅读短文,根据短文内容回答问题。
Every Sunday at 2 pm, Marisela Godinez, the owner of a Mexican restaurant in Texas, used to fill a big bag with more than 50 liters of leftover (未食用的) food which is unsold from the restaurant’s all-you-can-eat lunch buffet (自助餐). “We threw out a lot of food,” she said.
But a few months ago Ms. Godinez signed up to use an app called Too Good To Go. Now, 10 customers pick up “surprise bags” of her leftover food for $ 5.99 each and she sends far fewer leftovers to the bin.
Around the country, restaurants and grocery stores throw away huge amounts of unsold food every day. Apps that connect customers to businesses with unsold food have begun to spread. The idea of apps like Too Good To Go is to help businesses sell unsold food at a low price rather than throw it away. They say that the businesses and buyers are helping the environment because the food would otherwise become food waste, a big contributor (导致因素) to climate change.
Food production itself is a big contributor to greenhouse gas release (释放). It is responsible for nearly a third of gas release in the world. Each step of the process—growing, harvesting, processing, packaging, storing and preparing for food—releases carbon dioxide (CO2) and other planet-warming gases. When the food is wasted, greenhouse gas releases. In addition, once unused food reaches the bins, it breaks down and releases more greenhouse gases.
Too Good To Go has tried to make buying unsold food a game. In the United States, customers in 12 cities can book “surprise bags” that typically cost about $ 4 to $ 6 each on the app. The food in the bags would have been firstly priced at about three times that amount. Then, they can pick up the bags at a certain time window.
According to interviews with several companies selling on Too Good To Go, there are at least a few things that buyers don’t think of as “food waste”. An owner of a company which sells drinks said he only used the app to sell discontinued products but also new-flavored drinks in hopes of attracting new customers.
34. Who is Marisela Godinez?
________________________________________
35. What is the idea of apps like Too Good To Go?
________________________________________
36. How do customers in America buy unsold food on Too Good To Go?
________________________________________
37. Would you use apps like Too Good To Go to buy unsold food? Why or why not? (Please give at least two reasons.)

My Best Friend Dan
Walking home from school one day, I saw Dan, a kid from my school. “He must be a real nerd (书呆子),” as he was carrying a lot of books. When I continued walking, I saw a group of kids run into Dan, knocking his books out of his arms and he fell over. I ran over to help him, and as we were picking up his books, I saw tears in his eyes.
While I helped him stand up, he looked at me and said, “Thank you so much.” There was a grateful (感激的) smile on his face.
We started talking and soon realized that we lived near each other. We talked all the way home. Dan turned out to be a pretty cool kid. We hung out all weekend and the more I got to know Dan, the more I liked him. Dan and I became best friends.
Over the years in middle school, he became more popular. In our last year, Dan got the best grades in our class, and had to give a speech for graduation.
As Dan started his speech, he looked at me. “Graduation is a time to thank the people who helped you survive those difficult years—your parents, your teachers, but mostly your friends. Being a friend is the best gift you can give. I’m going to tell you a story.” I just looked at Dan in amazement as he told the story of the first day we met. He had planned to talk to his teachers about leaving this school and going to a different one. Dan talked of how he had emptied his desk so his mom wouldn’t have to do it later and was carrying all of his books home. He looked at me and gave me a smile. “Thankfully, I was saved. My friend saved me from making a huge mistake.” Everyone was surprised as he told us about his weakest moment.
24. Why did the writer think Dan was a nerd when they first met?
A. Dan carried many books. B. Dan always cried.
C. Dan had few friends. D. Dan had no smile.
25. What happened to Dan in the last year of middle school?

C. He got the best grades in his class. D. He turned out to be a weak kid.
26. What does the writer want to tell us?

C. Well begun is half done. D. Failure is the mother of success.

People have long thought that AI will soon enough take jobs with repetitive labour (重复性劳动), such as truck drivers, cleaners, but cannot copy the creativity only human brains can produce. Truck drivers, retail cashiers and warehouse workers would all lose their jobs to robots, they said, while workers in creative fields like art, entertainment and media would be safe.
Well, an unexpected thing has happened recently: AI has entered the creative class.
In the past few months, AI-based image generators (图像生成器) like DALL-E 2, Midjourney and Stable Diffusion have made it possible for anyone to create unique, hyper-realistic (超现实) images just by typing a few words into a text box. These apps, though new, are already surprisingly popular. DALL-E 2, has more than 1.5 million users generating more than two million images every day, while Midjourney has more than three million members.
It’s still too early to tell whether this new wave of apps will end up costing artists and illustrators their jobs. What seems clear, though, is that these tools are already being put to use in creative industries.
A few months ago, Sarah Drummond, a designer in London started using AI-generated images. Instead of spending hours creating sketches by hand, Ms. Drummond, now types what she wants into DALL-E 2 or Midjourney.
“All of a sudden, I can take like 15 seconds and go, ‘Woman at restaurant, black-and-white sketch,’ and get something back that’s really professional (专业的),” she said.
Ms. Drummond added that AI image generators had limitations. They aren’t good at more difficult sketches, for example, or creating different images with the same character. And like the other creative artists, she said she didn’t think AI designers would replace human illustrators completely.
“Would I use it for final output? No. I would hire someone to fully make what we wanted to realize,” she said. “But the throwaway work that you do when you’re any kind of designer, whether it’s visual, architectural, urban planner—you’re sketching, sketching sketching. And so this is a sketch tool.”
27. According to the passage, AI based image generators can ________.
A. take the place of truck drivers
B. be more creative than humans
C. follow instructions to create certain images
D. create more than two million texts every day
28. What does Ms. Drummond think of AI image generators?
A. They are more convenient for creating basic drawings.
B. They will be widely used and end up costing artists their jobs.
C. They are sketch tools to realize what you want for final output.
D. They are good at creating different images with the same character.
29. What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage?
A. To compare different AI image generators.
B. To explain how AI image generators work.
C. To encourage people to use AI for art work.
D. To show how AI is affecting creative fields.
【答案】27. C 28. A 29. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了人工智能已经进入了创意领域并且是如何影响创意领域的。

We’ve been told by parents and teachers since we were kids that “It’s good to share.” Taking it as an object of study, psychologists (心理学家) have published various papers stating that the behaviour of sharing is beneficial to setting up positive emotional connecting.
Today, the action of sharing takes on more meaning. We are using technology to reduce the money that we spend on goods and services, or to make money out of those that we don’t use all the time. These differ from car shares to home shares, and even to pet shares. It is creating new ways of thinking and is providing services to people when and where they want them.
This sharing economy (经济) is an answer to our increasing need for quality goods and services at competitive prices, all delivered at a click. Whether it’s an online shop where we can get designer clothes at rock-bottom prices (租) out our flats for a couple of days, it’s out there. Whether we’re a lender or a borrower; everyone makes or saves money. We also make connections and sometimes even make new friends. What’s more, sharing encourages us to reuse things, there by cutting down on waste.
But the sharing economy is not without its problems as it’s developing faster than ongoing supervision. Some companies are taking unfair advantage of this situation to increase their share of the market. In addition, the sharing economy is open to misuse of trust. Some people have experienced loss of things while renting out their homes, and others have found themselves being stolen or attacked while sharing rides. Finally, the heart of the sharing economy, is not yet safe. Sharing websites collect personal information about almost every part of our lives, locations, bank information, the technology to prevent such information from being stolen still needs improvement, and the awareness of possible risks is low among both service providers and users.
Even though, what is in no doubt is that the sharing economy is increasingly related to our daily lives. It is growing at such a speed that we can only imagine what it will include in the future. What will we be sharing next? Who will be sharing and how? And the most interesting question of all—what type of society will all this sharing take us to?
30. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Online shops are the products of sharing economy.
B. Both service providers and users think highly of risks.
C. Sharing economy encourages lending and borrowing less.
D. Sharing economy offers good services with reasonable prices.
31. The words “ongoing supervision” in Paragraph 4 are closest in meaning to ________.
A. final judgement B. fair treatment
C. continuous management D. powerful argument
32. The writer probably agrees that ________.
A. there are more possible risks of sharing than benefits
B. sharing economy will develop widely in different fields
C. it will be a popular way to make friends through sharing
D. sharing economy will bring positive emotional connecting
33. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. What’s Good to Share
B. What’s Mine Is Yours
C. The History and the Future of Sharing
D. The More You Share, the More You Get
【答案】30. D 31. C 32. B 33. B
【解析】
【导语】本文主要讲述了共享经济的发展和影响。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“This sharing economy (经济) is an answer to our increasing need for quality goods and services at competitive prices, all delivered at a click.”可知,共享经济提供优质的服务和合理的价格。故选D。
【31题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第四段“But the sharing economy is not without its problems as it’s developing faster than ongoing supervision. Some companies are taking unfair advantage of this situation to increase their share of the market.”可知,共享经济的发展速度快于持续的监督,一些公司正在不公平地利用这种情况来增加其市场份额。“ongoing supervision”表示“持续监督”,与“continuous management”含义相同。故选C。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Even though, what is in no doubt is that the sharing economy is increasingly related to our daily lives. It is growing at such a speed that we can only imagine what it will include in the future.”可推知,作者可能同意“共享经济将在不同领域广泛发展”这一观点。故选B。
【33题详解】
最佳标题题。通读全文可知,本文主要介绍了共享经济的发展和影响,选项B“我的就是你的”作为标题最合适。故选B。

四、阅读表达(第34-36题每题2分, 第37题4分, 共10分)
阅读短文,根据短文内容回答问题。
Every Sunday at 2 pm, Marisela Godinez, the owner of a Mexican restaurant in Texas, used to fill a big bag with more than 50 liters of leftover (未食用的) food which is unsold from the restaurant’s all-you-can-eat lunch buffet (自助餐). “We threw out a lot of food,” she said.
But a few months ago, Ms. Godinez signed up to use an app called Too Good To Go. Now, 10 customers pick up “surprise bags” of her leftover food for $ 5.99 each and she sends far fewer leftovers to the bin.
Around the country, restaurants and grocery stores throw away huge amounts of unsold food every day. Apps that connect customers to businesses with unsold food have begun to spread. The idea of apps like Too Good To Go is to help businesses sell unsold food at a low price rather than throw it away. They say that the businesses and buyers are helping the environment because the food would otherwise become food waste, a big contributor (导致因素) to climate change.
Food production itself is a big contributor to greenhouse gas release (释放). It is responsible for nearly a third of gas release in the world. Each step of the process—growing, harvesting, processing, packaging, storing and preparing for food—releases carbon dioxide (CO2) and other planet-warming gases. When the food is wasted, greenhouse gas releases. In addition, once unused food reaches the bins, it breaks down and releases more greenhouse gases.
Too Good To Go has tried to make buying unsold food a game. In the United States, customers in 12 cities can book “surprise bags” that typically cost about $ 4 to $ 6 each on the app. The food in the bags would have been firstly priced at about three times that amount. Then, they can pick up the bags at a certain time window.
According to interviews with several companies selling on Too Good To Go, there are at least a few things that buyers don’t think of as “food waste”. An owner of a company which sells drinks said he only used the app to sell discontinued products but also new-flavored drinks in hopes of attracting new customers.
34. Who is Marisela Godinez?
________________________________________
35. What is the idea of apps like Too Good To Go?
________________________________________
36. How do customers in America buy unsold food on Too Good To Go?

【答案】34. Marisela Godinez is the owner of a Mexican restaurant in Texas.
35. The idea is to help businesses sell unsold food at a low price rather than throw it away.
36. Customers can buy unsold food by booking “surprise bags” on the app.
37. I would use apps like Too Good To Go to buy unsold food. The first reason is that these apps help to reduce food waste, which is beneficial for the environment. The second reason is that I can get high-quality food at a lower price by purchasing unsold food through these apps.
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了美国和全球范围内餐厅和食品商店如何处理未售出的食物,以及一款名为Too Good To Go的应用如何帮助商家减少浪费并减少温室气体排放。
【34题详解】
根据“Marisela Godinez, the owner of a Mexican restaurant in Texas”可知他是德克萨斯州一家墨西哥餐馆的老板。故填Marisela Godinez is the owner of a Mexican restaurant in Texas.
【35题详解】
根据“The idea of apps like Too Good To Go is to help businesses sell unsold food at a low price rather than throw it away”可知Too Good To Go等应用程序的理念是帮助企业以低价出售未售出的食品,而不是将其扔掉。故填The idea is to help businesses sell unsold food at a low price rather than throw it away.
【36题详解】
根据“In the United States, customers in 12 cities can book ‘surprise bags’ that typically cost about 6 each on the app”可知12个城市的顾客可以在应用程序上预订“惊喜包”。故填Customers can buy unsold food by booking “surprise bags” on the app.
【37题详解】
开放性试题,言之有理即可。参考答案为I would use apps like Too Good To Go to buy unsold food. The first reason is that these apps help to reduce food waste, which is beneficial for the environment. The second reason is that I can get high-quality food at a lower price by purchasing unsold food through these apps.

Last year on Arbor Day, our school organized a tree planting activity. That was my first time to plant trees, and I was very excited. My teacher gave me a young tree. First, I chose a right place where the tree could get much sunlight. Second, I dug a deep hole. Third, I put the tree in the hole and filled the hole with some soil. Finally, I watered the tree. Although I was very tired, I was happy. After the tree planting activity, I often went to water the small tree I planted. Now it is taller than my father. I feel a great sense of achievement.
