When the king, the duke and I got to the house, three girls were standing at the door. They were Mary Jane, Susan and Joanna. 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. Because they didn’t need the money. B. Because they had pity on the girls.
C. Because they wanted to get all the money. D. Because they didn’t know the girls.
31. The underlined word “frauds” most probably means ________.
A. 商人 B. 游客 C. 骗子 D. 强盗

US poet Allen Ginsberg once said, “Poetry (诗歌) 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 he wrote it, or what he was 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 wasn’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 humans.
“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 can speak original human mind.
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
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(回应). But it’s not right to give an exact number at once. Try to be open to discussion, so you’d better say something like, “If this is the right job for me, I believe we can come to an agreement on pay.”
Push for a face-to-face meeting. 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. Avoid salary topics.
B. Why not make a call?
C. Which would be better for you?
D. Don’t ask for too much money.
E. One type of interviews is the telephone interview.
F. The questions can be about your working experiences, skills and achievements.

The Mozart of Math
Terence Tao is sitting on a sofa in his Los Angeles living room. He presses a plastic stethoscope (听诊器) into a toy bear and coughs. “ls he sick or is he well?” he asks his daughter.
Tao appears to be an average father. It seems that there is nothing special about him. But this is a man with an unusual mind. When he was nine, Tao started studying mathematics part-time at an Australian university. By the time he was 16, he had finished his bachelor’s degree (学士学位). He got his master’s (硕士学位) when he was 17 and his Ph. D. (博士学位 ) at 20. His performance in the International Mathematical Olympiads surprised many people.
Tao has had lots of awards and prizes to his name. The greatest among them is the Fields Medal. It is sometimes called the “Nobel Prize for Mathematics.” Tao received the prize when he was 31. Around that time, people started to describe him as the “Mozart of math.”
Despite his amazing talent for math, Tao is very modest. After he won the Fields Medal, Tao was invited to star in a TV ad. He turned down the invitation. “I just feel embarrassed about it,” he said. In 2015, Facebook co-founder Mark Zuckerberg wanted to offer his annual (一年一度的) Breakthrough Prize in Mathematics to Tao. The mathematician also declined. “I don’t think I should take this prize, ” he said. Tao suggested Zuckerberg give the money out to help more people.
It’s the way he was raised, says Tao’s father Billy. “Even if you are very successful, you should say, No, I’m pretty average.”
51. Where did Tao study mathematics part-time when he was nine?

When the king, the duke and I got to the house, three girls were standing at the door. They were Mary Jane, Susan and Joanna. 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

US poet Allen Ginsberg once said, “Poetry (诗歌) 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 he wrote it, or what he was 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 wasn’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 humans.
“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 can speak original human mind.
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.
【答案】34. A 35. C 36. C
【解析】
【导语】本文探讨了诗歌捕捉人类精神的能力,以及人工智能创作诗歌的局限性,强调人类情感的独特性。

【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据“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.”可知,作者引用Schwartz观点指出计算机无法像人类一样传递深层情感,故选C。
【36题详解】
最佳标题题。通读全文可知,全文围绕人类与AI创作诗歌的对比展开,选项C“人类还是计算机的诗”最全面概括主题。故选C。

The Mozart of Math
Terence Tao is sitting on a sofa in his Los Angeles living room. He presses a plastic stethoscope (听诊器) into a toy bear and coughs. “ls he sick or is he well?” he asks his daughter.
Tao appears to be an average father. It seems that there is nothing special about him. But this is a man with an unusual mind. When he was nine, Tao started studying mathematics part-time at an Australian university. By the time he was 16, he had finished his bachelor’s degree (学士学位). He got his master’s (硕士学位) when he was 17 and his Ph. D. (博士学位 ) at 20. His performance in the International Mathematical Olympiads surprised many people.
Tao has had lots of awards and prizes to his name. The greatest among them is the Fields Medal. It is sometimes called the “Nobel Prize for Mathematics.” Tao received the prize when he was 31. Around that time, people started to describe him as the “Mozart of math.”
Despite his amazing talent for math, Tao is very modest. After he won the Fields Medal, Tao was invited to star in a TV ad. He turned down the invitation. “I just feel embarrassed about it,” he said. In 2015, Facebook co-founder Mark Zuckerberg wanted to offer his annual (一年一度的) Breakthrough Prize in Mathematics to Tao. The mathematician also declined. “I don’t think I should take this prize, ” he said. Tao suggested Zuckerberg give the money out to help more people.
It’s the way he was raised, says Tao’s father Billy. “Even if you are very successful, you should say, No, I’m pretty average.”

七、书面表达(共1题;满分15分)
55. 假如你是Sally,你的朋友Linda最近碰到了一些问题,请阅读她的信后给她写一封回信。
Dear Sally,
I always feel lonely in the school. The other girls are chatting with each other happily about their favorite stars or the latest fashion after class. However, I am not interested in these topics at all and therefore, know nothing about them. Gradually, I feel like I can’t fit into my friends any more. How can Ideal with it? Can you offer me some advice?
Yours,
Linda
注意: 1.文中不得出现你的真实姓名和学校名称;
2.词数100左右;文章的开头已为你写好,不计入总词数。
Dear Linda,

Best wishes,
Sally
【答案】范文:
Dear Linda,
I heard about your problem and am really worried about you. In my opinion, there is no need for you to cater to others’ taste. If you really don’t like fashion or have no interest in stars, don’t bother yourself about them. You can tell your friends about your hobbies and let them know more about you. But if that doesn’t work, I suggest you should jump out of the circle and join more clubs. Talk to other members actively and bravely, and I am quite sure you will find someone who shares the same interest as you some day.
Best wishes,
Sally
