The girls had big smiles on their faces because they were very happy to see their ‘uncles’. They hugged the king and the duke. Then the king saw the coffin(棺材) in the corner of the living room. His face became serious and walked slowly over to it. The two frauds looked in the coffin and started crying so loudly that I’m sure the people in New Orleans could all hear them. The girls were crying, too. I felt very bad for them. I wanted to tell them that their ‘uncles’ were frauds but I didn’t say anything. ‘This is the letter that my uncle wrote before he died,’ Mary Jane said and gave it to the king. He opened it and read it aloud. ‘I leave my house and three thousand dollars in gold to my three nieces. And I leave my other property and three thousand dollars in gold to my brothers, Harvey and William.’ The king went down and got the money. When the two frauds saw the pile of gold, their eyes shone as bright as the coins themselves. ‘Let’s take it upstairs and show it to everybody,’ the king said. ‘We’ll count it in front of them and give the girls their three thousand dollars. We don’t want people to be suspicious(怀疑的).’ ‘I’ve got a better idea,’ the duke said. ‘Let’s give the girls all the gold!’ ‘An excellent idea!’ the king said. ‘And then we’ll find a way of getting it back later.’ We went back upstairs to the living room, where everyone was waiting for us. The king made a nice speech. ‘Friends! Our brother was a good, kind man. He looked after these poor girls when they were left without a mother and a father. I’m sure he wanted to leave them all his money. So, Mary Jane, take it! Take it all!’ And he handed the bag to Mary Jane. The women in the room started hugging each other and crying again. The men smiled. Everybody said, ‘What dear, good men!’ and ‘How kind they are!’...... ---The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn 30.Why did the king and the duke give the girls all the gold? A.

The king and the duke ran away with all the money. D. Mary Jane donated the money to the poor D US poet Allen Ginsberg once said, “Poetry is the one place where people can speak their original(独创的) human mind.” To know the special ability of poetry to catch the human spirit, World Poetry Day is held by the United Nations on March 21 each year. The magic of poetry lies in the connection built up through words between the writer and the reader. When we read a poem, we often imagine what the poet was thinking when they wrote it, or what they were doing at the time. These thoughts let us connect with the words better, as if we’d written the poem ourselves. But in the age of artificial intelligence (AI，人工智能), would a poem still mean as much if it weren’t written by a human at all? Today, computers can create all kinds of texts, including research papers, books, news stories and even poems. In 2013, Australian researcher Oscar Schwartz and his friend Benjamin Laird created a website called “bot or not”, where readers can read poems and guess whether they were written by a human or a computer. During a recent speech at Ted X Sydney, Schwartz said that all over the years, some of the website’s poems were able to fool 65 percent of human readers into thinking they were written by a human. By creating the website, Schwartz and Laird hoped that people would doubt the difference between humans and machines – and be able to tell what makes us human. “The human mind is not a cold, hard fact,” Schwartz said during his speech. A computer may be able to create poems that are correct in both grammar and style, but it wouldn’t be able to get the same meanings and feelings across as a human poet could. In fact, now AI software creates poems based on ones that have already been written by humans. As Schwartz noted, “The computer works like a mirror that reflects (反映) any idea of a human.” 34.Why is World Poetry Day held every year? A. To understand how poetry expresses human spirits B. To compare the poetry written by humans and computers C. To teach people how to write beautiful poetry D. To show readers the poetry written by computers 35.Which of the following may the writer agree with? A. Computers can replace humans in poetry writing. B. Computers should learn more from human poets. C. Computers can’t show feelings as well as humans. D. Computers are as emotional as human poets. 36.What's the best title for the passage? A. Intelligent computer poets B. A mirror of human ideas C. Poetry by humans or computers D. The importance of poetry 四、还原信息（共4小题；每小题1. 5分，满分6分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的六个选项中选出四个可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 If you are going to apply for a job, be prepared for the kinds of interviews you can expect. ____37____ Here are some tips for telephone interviews: Predict the questions. Before the interview, guess and write down the questions you might be asked. Practice the answers orally until you are satisfied with yourself. ____38____ Keep your notes handy. Have any key information next to the phone, including your notes about the company and the questions you have prepared for. Then you can easily get the information you need. In this way, you will sound more prepared. ____39____ When you are asked how much money you would expect monthly, it’s not wise if you give no response.

At the end of the interview, don’t forget to sell yourself. You can say something like, “I am very interested in working in your company. If possible, I’d be really happy to see some of your managers. I am free either Tuesday afternoon or Wednesday morning. ____40____?” After the telephone interview, only a few are left for face-to-face interviews, so get prepared and good luck! A.
