Napoleon, 益 a charactt>r in Tolstoy's War and Peace, is more than once described as having "fat little hands� Nor does he "sit well or firmly on the horse". He is said to be "undersized" wi出 “short legs" and a "round stomach". The issue here is not the accuracy of Tolstoy's description - it seems not that far off from historical accounts but 怕s choice of facts: other things that could be said of the man are not said. We are meant to understand the difference of a warring commander in the body of a fat little Frenchman. Tolstoy's Napoleon could be any man wandering in the streets and putting a li t tle of powdered tobacco up his nose - and that is the point. It is a way the novelist 11Ses to show the moral nature of a character. And it turns out that, as Tolstoy has i� Napoleon is a crazy man. In a scene in Book Three of War and Peace, the wars having reached the critical year of 1812, Napoleon receives a representative from the Tsar（沙皇），who has come wi由peace tenns. Napoleon is very angry: doesn't he have more anny? He, not小eTsar, is出e one to make the terms. He will destroy all of Europe if the Tsar's army is stopped. "That is what you will have gained by engaging me in the war!" he shouts. And then, Tolstoy writes, Napoleon''walked silently severa.l times up and down the room, his fat shoulders moving q山ckly". Still later, after reviewing his army amid cheering crowds, Napoleon invites the shaken Russian to dinner. "He raised怕s hand to the Russian's... face,"Tolstoy writes, and "taking him by the ear pulled it gently... ". To have one's ear pulled by the Emperor was considered the greatest honor and mark of favor at the French court. "Well, well, why don't you say anything?" said he, as if it was ridiculous in his presence to respect anyone but himself, Napoleon. 第3页共10页 步 、 I I Tolstoy did his research, but the composition is his own. 24. Tolstoy's desc1iption of Napoleon in War and Peace is A f . far from the historical facts B. based on the Russian history C. based on his selection of facts D. not related to historical details 25. Napoleon was angry when receiving the Russ i 1an representative because A. the Tsar's peace tenns were hard to accept 8. he didn't have any more army to fight with C. the Russians stopped his military movement D. he thought he should be the one to make the peace tenns 26. What did Napoleon expect the Russian representative to do? A. To walk out of the room in anger. 8. To show agreement with him. C. To say something about the Tsar. D. To express his admiration. 27. T olstoy intended to present Napoleon as a man who is __. A crazy for power and respect B. fond of showing off his iron will C. determined in destroying all ofEurope D. ill-mannered in dealing with foreign guests C Commuting to and from work can be a nightmare. Cars advance slowly in stop and go traffic, crawlil'lg from one traffic jam at stoplights to the next. At peak rush hour especially, there is no chance of sailing through a series of green lights. Now, thanks to artificial intelligence, German researchers have found a way to reduce time spent at the crossroads. Called the KI4LSA project and funded by the Ministry of Transport and Digital Infrastructure, the innovation is being tested. Scientists first studied algorithms taken from a busy intersection to learn about traffic patterns and where improvements were most needed. Then, the technology, using high-resolution cameras and radar sensors, more precisely captured the actual traffic situation and detected the average speed of the cars and their waiting times. Finally, the Al uses deep enhanced learning algorithms to calculate the best switching behaviour for the traffic lights and detennine the best phase sequence（序列段）to shorten waiting times at the crossroads. The results are encouraging when it is being tried out at a busy intersection in Lemgo, Germany. The intelligent lights are said to improve traffic flow by IO to 15 percent, which results in money saved; the EU estimates that traffic jams create economic damage that adds up to 100 billion euros a year. Aside from reducing commuting time, these traffic lights will reduce noise and CO2 emissions from cars waiting at the crossroads. Another exciting development in this research is the K 14PED project, which studies pedestrians crossing the crossroads. Using AI as well as a 3D points cloud, researchers can identify h ow many people are waiting at a pedestrian crossing and whether some of the disabled or elder people will need extra time to cross the street Such a needs-based system could reduce pedestrian waiting time by 30 percent, which could then decrease jaywalking（乱穿马路）by 25 percent. 第4 页共 10 页 拿 I I 1 ＇ Researchers are optimistic that it wil I be adopted by many countries after the tests in the German'towns of Lemgo and Bielefeld. This technology is exciting news for pedestrians and drivers alike; It encourages safety, protects the environment, and may even give you more time to enjoy your morning coffee before heading off to work! 28. Why is AI used in the KI4LSA project? A. To study traffic algoritlnns to control CO2 emissions. B. To detect road conditions to reduce jam or speeding. C. To remind people to pass in sequence for a shorter wait. D. To adjust traffic signals to ensure efficiency at the crossroads. 29. Which of the followi ou mg is true according to the passage? A. The intelligent lights serve the mere purpose of reducing commuting time. B. The better traffic flow is improved, the less economic damage is caused. C. The more cars are waiting at the crossroads, the more noise is reduced. D. The effect of traffic jams is heavier on envirorunent than on economy. 30. What is the function of Kl4PED project? A. It monitors traffic conditions at intersections. B. It helps to estimate the number of jaywalkers. C. It ensures flexible crossing time for pedestrians. D. It improves the speed of vehicles on busy roads. 31. What is the main idea of this passage? A. The intelligent lights offer a blessing to transportation. B. The AI technology is bound to be a promising industry. C. Attentive traffic service lends a helping hand to seniors. D. Digital traffic systems mark the beginning of smart cities. D A few years ago, the City Council of Monza, Italy, barred pet owners from keeping goldfish in curved fishbowls. The sponsors of the measure explained that it is cruel to keep a fish in such a bowl because the curved sides give the fish a� view of reality. Aside from the measure's significance to the poor goldfish, the story raises an interesting philosophical question: How do we know that the reality we perceive is true? Physicists are finding themselves in a similar trouble to the goldfish's. For decades :hey have been pursuing an ultimate theory of everything气ne complete and consistent set of fundamental laws of nature that explain every aspect of reality. It now appears that this pursuit may generate not a single theory but a family of interconnected theories, each describing its own version of reality, as if it viewed the universe through its own fishbowl. This concept may be difficult for many people to accept. Most people believe that there is an objective reality out there and that our senses and our science directly convey information about the material world. In philosophy, that belief is called realism. In physics, realism is becoming difficult to defend. Instead, the idea of alternative realities is a mainstay of today's popular culture. For example, in the science-fiction film The Matrix the human race is 第5页共l0页 ． 、 ， I - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - .' unknowingly living in a simulated（模拟的）virtual reality created by intelligent computers. How do we know we are not just computer-generated characters living in a Matrix-like world? If.—like us- the beings in the simulated world could not observe their universe from the outside, they would have no reason to doubt their own pictures ofreality. Similarly, the goldfish's view is not the 沺ame as ours from outside their curved bowl. For instance, because light bends as it travels from air to water, a freely moving object that we would observe to move in a straight line would be observed by the goldfish to move along a curved path. The goldfish could fom1 scientific laws from their frame of reference that would always hold true and that would enable them to make predictions about the future motion of objects outside the bowl. If the goldfish fonned such a theory, we would have to admit the goldfish's view as a reasonable picture of reality. The goldfish example shows that the same physical situation can be modeled in different ways, each employing different fundamental elements and concepts. It might be that to describe the universe we have to employ different theories in different situations. It is not the physicist's traditional expectation for a theory of nature, nor does it correspond to our everyday idea of reality. But it might be the way of the universe. 32. What does the underlined word "distorted" in Paragraph most probably mean? A. Original. B. Accurate. C. Distant. D. False. 33. What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell us? A. The need for a complete theory. B. The lasting conflict in physics. C. The existence of the material world. D.吓e conventional insight of reality. 34. What can we learn from the passage? A. Nature's mysteries are best left undiscovered. B. An external world is independent of the observers. C. People's theories are influenced by their viewpoints. D. It is essential to figure out which picture of reality is better. 35. According to the passage, the author may agree that _. A. various interpretations of the universe are welcomed B. physicists have a favorite candidate for the final theory C. multiple realities can be pieced together to show the real world D. there is still possibility to unify different theories into a single one 第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2.5 分，共 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。 When I was a kid, I took traveling with my parents for granted. Sure, they paid for everything. But they were basically no different from teachers taking us to a field trip. _36_—.For example, they took us to Denali National Park instead of Disney World. And we sometimes stayed at hotels without pools. And they never let us buy anything from the SkyMall catalog（目录）． Of course, some 20 years later, I consider traveling with my parents, now both in their 60s, to be the utmost privilege. ＿—-37一—-.

In fact, _57 _ is now considered a symbol of Chinese cuisine wasn't introduced to the country until the 16th century, when an age of exploration and trade brought chilis to the mainland. The earliest _58—(record) documentation of chilis in China dates back to 1591.

However, while the upper class of Chinese society admired chili plants for their beauty,_ 61 _ general public started consuming them. By 1765, local historians observed that in Hunan, chilis were used 62 (season) sauces, vinegar, and preserve vegetables. Different_ 63 _ other spices, chili peppers were not initially fanned and traded as commodities （商 日口）． Instead, they fell into the hands of skilled farmers _ 64_ (accident).

Hoffner, a lady of 104 years old now, grew up in Chicago and worked as a telephone operator for Bell Company for more than four decades. She never married or had children, but she enjoyed beach vacations and driving her small blue car touring all over the country. She loved sports and was kind to everyone she met. She watched every Chicago Cubs game on a TV in her room and also enjoyed watching "MASH" runs. She stayed active, walking several blocks to the grocery store multiple times a week and going on walks to have a look at the neighbor's dogs. She was known for carrying candies--Heath bars, Reese's Peanut Butter Cups and dark chocolate-——in her walker. She shared her candies with everyone she met, but she always kept some for me. I remembered that afternoon I and one ofmy patients were figuring out when the meal was served when Hoffner invited us to eat supper with her in the dining area. Since then, we three ate dinner together aLmost every night and Hoffner started calling me grandson. One night two months ago, I carelessly told Hoffner over dinner that I was going skydiving in Ottawa. When Hoffner said she wanted to go, too, I thought she meant as an observer. "No, no, no, I want to jump out of a plane," Hoffner said. My heart sank because I knew clearly what it meant to jump from an airplane at about 13,500 feet high. It might injure her. But she made up her mind and started to do everything to prepare for it. She went to the doctor to have a check and asked me to make a training plan. With her walker she kept training every day. 注意： l. 续写词数应为 150 左右； 第9页共JO页 I I I I ， 2. 开头已给出。 One day, I went to the dining hall and saw her sitting in a corner, sad and alone.
