A children’s version of “Lady White Snake” performed by a group of young post-00s stole audiences’ hearts recently.
“Lady White Snake” mainly tells the love story between the White-Snake-turned Bai Suzhen and Xu Xian.

“They are just wonderful. When I see the little Xu Xian crying for the loss of Bai Suzhen, my heart broke,” said Weibo user Rainy Days.
“Those so-called little-fresh-meat actors getting so much money for their performances should really examine themselves. Look at these children, they are not second to anyone,” another Weibo user Flying Eyes added.
The children’s version of “Lady White Snake” was produced by a Hunan TV program called Xiaoxigu, which literally means young artists in English, and features children in the roles of classic characters from Chinese literature and folklore (民间传说).

Once upon a time there was an honest young man named Hans. He lived in a small house alone, and every day he worked in his garden. In all the countryside there was no garden so lovely as his.
Hans had many friends, but “the most devoted friend” was Miller. Certainly, he was so devoted to Hans that he always picked some flowers or filled his pockets with fruit when he passed Hans’s garden. “Real friends should have everything in common,” Miller often said. Hans nodded, and felt proud of having a friend with such noble ideas. However, the rich Miller never gave Hans anything in return. Miller had lots of food, cows and sheep, but Hans never troubled his head about these.
However, when winter came, Hans had no fruit or flowers to bring to the market, and he suffered a lot from cold and hunger. He was very lonely.“There’s no good in my going to see Hans as long as (只要) the snow lasts,” Miller said to his wife, “for when people are in trouble, they should be left alone.” “You are very thoughtful about others,” answered the wife.
Hans had a hard time in winter, but Miller turned a blind eye and even took advantage of his kindness. As soon as the winter was over, Miller took a big empty basket and went to see Hans. Hans was sad for it was really a very big basket, and he knew that if he filled it, he would have no flowers left for the market. But he still filled the Miller’s basket.
In the following days, Miller kept asking Hans to help him, one after another. Although Hans had a lot of work to do, he didn’t turn down (拒绝) Miller. On a stormy evening, Miller’s little son had hurt himself seriously. He asked Hans to go for the doctor. Hans walked about three hours and finally arrived at the doctor’s house. He told the doctor about that. The doctor rode off in the direction of the Miller’s house, but Hans got lost in the storm and drowned in a hole full of water.

Tess still stood hesitating (犹豫) like a swimmer about to make his dive (跳水), hardly knowing whether to return or move forward, when a tall young man came out from the dark door, smoking.
He had an almost black face, though red and smooth. His moustache (胡子) was black with curled (卷曲的) points. There was an unusual force in his face, and in his daring rolling eyes.
“Well, my beauty, what can I do for you?” said he, coming forward. And seeing that she was quite at a loss, “Never mind me. I am Mr. d’Urbcrville. Have you come to see me or my mother?”
This differed greatly from what Tess had expected. She tried to keep calm and answered—“I came to see your mother, sir.”
“I am afraid you cannot see her—she is ill in bed,” replied the young man, Mr. Alee, the only son of the noble (贵族的) family. “What is the business you wish to see her about?”
“It isn’t business—it is—if I tell you, it will seem—” Tess’s sense of ridicule (嘲弄) was now so strong that her pink face appeared towards a smile, much to the attraction of the young man. “It is so stupid”, she said lowly; “I fear I can’t tell you!”
“Never mind; I like stupid things. Try again, my dear,” said he kindly.
“Mother asked me to come,” Tess continued, “and, indeed, but I did not think it would be like this. I came, sir, to tell you that we are of the same family as you.” “Ho! Poor relatives?”
“Yes”
“Stokes?”
“No; d’Urbervilles.”
“Ay, ay; I mean d’Urbervilles.”
“Our names are passed away to Durbeyfield; but we have several proofs (证据) that we are d’Urbervilles.—And—and we have an old silver spoon marked with the same castle (城堡) as yours. So Mother said we should make ourselves known to you, as we’ve lost our horse by a bad accident; we can hardly make a living.”
“Very kind of your mother, I’m sure.” Alec looked at Tess as he spoke, in a way that made her uncomfortable. “And so, my pretty girl, you’ve come on a friendly visit to us, as relatives?”
“I suppose I have,” looking less confident and uncomfortable again. “Well—there’s no harm in it. Where do you live? What are you?”
—Tess of the d’Urbervilles By Thomas Hardy
39. How does Tess feel during the whole meeting with Alec?
A. Excited and hopeful. B. Pleased but embarrassed (尴尬的).
C. Surprised but comfortable. D. Nervous and uncomfortable.
40. In the eyes of Tess Alec is ________.
A. a gentle and helpful man B. unfriendly and talks too much
C. forceful and daring (大胆的) D. smarter than she had expected
41. Why does Tess pay the visit to the d’Urbervilles?
A. To see Alec himself. B. To make sure of their relationship and ask for help.
C. To see Alec’s mother. D. To make sure that they are of the same family.

A. Tess is a pretty girl B. Tess looks polite to him

D
Here’s one scene. Say you are in heavy traffic and your car’s brakes (刹车) start to fail. If you keep going, you will go into the back of a truck and probably die. But if you turn sharply to avoid the truck, you risk hitting an elderly woman or a group of children. What do you do?
This is an extreme choice. But every day, drivers around the world have to make quick decisions to avoid accidents. Often, they react without even having time to think. But what would a driverless car do?
Self-driving cars are designed to deal with all sorts of situations, from understanding traffic rules to planning the easiest route that avoids construction. These programming decisions are direct and clear. Ethics (道德), on the other hand, is not. How do you program a car to decide what to do in the case of an accident? How do you choose which life is more valuable? And who gets to choose? This is a problem that ethicists, lawyers, and car makers are all wondering about.
The ethicist opinion
Patrick Lin teaches robotics and ethics at California Polytechnic State University. He says that it might seem easy to say that self-driving cars must follow certain rules to minimize or reduce harm, but he says, “even that leads to morally murky (模糊的) decisions.” He gives an example: on one side of you is a motorcyclist wearing a helmet; on the other is a motorcyclist not wearing a helmet. If the car’s computer tells it to minimize harm during a necessary turn, that might mean hitting the person with the helmet. After all, they are better protected and so less likely to be hurt. But, Lin asks, aren’t you being unfair to the responsible (负责的) motorist?
According to Lin, any type of decision-making based on age, gender, or any similar factor would be discrimination (歧视) and therefore against standards of ethics. He explained that even the safest car runs the risk of having accidents, and that the responsibility for programming will lie with the car makers.
The legal opinion
But some experts say we don’t need to worry about this problem. Bryan Casey teaches at Stanford Law School. Casey says that what a self-driving car does in a crash is not an ethical issue (问题) at all. Instead, it is a legal issue. If a driver has a crash now, the law decides if he was driving dangerously or if it was truly an accident. If the driver was dangerously careless, he faces punishment, often a fine or jail. If a breakdown caused the crash, the car makers might be at fault. Either way, laws exist to decide what is wrong, and who is responsible. Casey says that will not change with the arrival of self-driving cars.
We expect self-driving cars to be very safe, safer than human drivers because computers can react more quickly. And indeed, an autonomous vehicle should be well designed and slow down or speed up in relation to the actual case. However, accidents can always happen. This means that drivers, car makers, and lawmakers will need to deal with new problems as they appear.
43. What is the most difficult problem facing self-driving cars now?
A. How to avoid causing accidents on the road.
B. When to slow down or speed up in actual case.
C. How to decide what to do in the case of an accident.
D. How to plan routes according to different situations.
44. The example of the motorcyclist (Para. 4) is to show ________.
A. all cars run the risk of having accidents
B. self-driving cars are unable to follow certain traffic rules
C. motorcyclists shouldn’t wear helmets so that self-driving cars won’t hit them
D. the decisions made by self-driving cars might go against standards of ethics
45. The underlined word “that” (Para. 6) refers to that ________.
A. who should be responsible for a crash is decided by laws
B. what a self-driving car does in a crash is an ethical issue
C. self-driving cars should also face punishment in a crash
D. the responsibility for programming lies with the car makers
46. The author would most probably agree that ________.
A. human drivers are much safer than self-driving cars
B. driving laws should change with the arrival of self-driving cars
C. there will always be accidents where someone gets hurt on the road
D. self-driving cars have the ability of thinking and making decisions for themselves
四、根据句意、所给中文、英文释义或首字母提示,写出句中所缺单词适当形式。
47. With the fast development of the world, we will face more and more ________ (挑战).
48. The ________ (演讲) they made at the meeting the other day still touch me deeply today.

七、阅读与表达。
Fourteen-year-old Jimmy Cooper and the other boys on the local teenage football team may sometimes lose a game, but they won a fight against bullying.
Danny Edwards, the team’s “water boy”, was being bullied at school. Danny has had a speech disorder (语言障碍) since his birth. When he grew up, kids made fun of him for the way he talked and the way he dressed. Each day, Danny went to school in a favourite suit, tie and fedora hat (软呢帽). Danny didn’t think it was a big deal. “I…just feel…really…comfortable in it,” he said.
Jimmy was upset when he found out Danny was being bullied. “I thought to myself, no one should be picked on for the way he looks or speaks,” said Jimmy.
So Jimmy decided to wear the same suit and hat to school, too. “I did it to stand up for Danny and show him that bullying is not right. I wanted him to feel happy and safe and know that anywhere he goes, he’ll be treated fairly by his friends,” Jimmy said. “I knew Danny would like it. I told my mum that I didn’t care what people thought about me in school because I was doing it for Danny.”
When Jimmy told the other boys on the team what he was planning, they wanted to be part of it, too. So they planned a “Danny Edwards Appreciation Day (感恩日)”.
They decided that on a special day, instead of wearing football jerseys (球衣), they would dress like Danny. Word spread about the special day, and other kids in school decided to show their support, too. On the planned day, they all dressed in suits and ties and met in the school library where they cheered, stomped their feet, and chanted “Danny! Danny! Danny!”.
“I was…really…really happy, and it made…my…day,” said Danny. “It’s really meaningful for us to team up for kids like Danny,” Jimmy said.

考查动词的时态。close既是形容词又是副词,作副词时指距离接近,closely副词,表示抽象意义上的接近,“仔细地,严密地”。故排除B、D两项,根据句意可知,“不知道”是指说“Thank you”之前的动作,应排除C项;在宾语从句中若主句为一般过去时态,则从句要使用相应的过去时态。第二空指的是“过去某个时间正在做某事”,故用过去进行时。故选A。

Once upon a time, there was an honest young man named Hans. He lived in a small house alone, and every day he worked in his garden. In all the countryside there was no garden so lovely as his.
Hans had many friends, but “the most devoted friend” was Miller. Certainly, he was so devoted to Hans that he always picked some flowers or filled his pockets with fruit when he passed Hans’s garden. “Real friends should have everything in common,” Miller often said. Hans nodded, and felt proud of having a friend with such noble ideas. However, the rich Miller never gave Hans anything in return. Miller had lots of food, cows and sheep, but Hans never troubled his head about these.
However, when winter came, Hans had no fruit or flowers to bring to the market, and he suffered a lot from cold and hunger. He was very lonely.“There’s no good in my going to see Hans as long as (只要) the snow lasts,” Miller said to his wife, “for when people are in trouble, they should be left alone.” “You are very thoughtful about others,” answered the wife.
Hans had a hard time in winter, but Miller turned a blind eye and even took advantage of his kindness. As soon as the winter was over, Miller took a big empty basket and went to see Hans. Hans was sad for it was really a very big basket, and he knew that if he filled it, he would have no flowers left for the market. But he still filled the Miller’s basket.
In the following days, Miller kept asking Hans to help him, one after another. Although Hans had a lot of work to do, he didn’t turn down (拒绝) Miller. On a stormy evening, Miller’s little son had hurt himself seriously. He asked Hans to go for the doctor. Hans walked about three hours and finally arrived at the doctor’s house. He told the doctor about that. The doctor rode off in the direction of the Miller’s house, but Hans got lost in the storm and drowned in a hole full of water.
36. What does the underlined sentence mean in the passage?
A. Miller couldn’t see that Hans was generous to him.
B. One of Miller’s eyes was blind and couldn’t help Hans.

Tess still stood hesitating (犹豫) like a swimmer about to make his dive (跳水), hardly knowing whether to return or move forward, when a tall young man came out from the dark door, smoking.
He had an almost black face, though red and smooth. His moustache (胡子) was black with curled (卷曲的) points. There was an unusual force in his face, and in his daring rolling eyes.
“Well, my beauty, what can I do for you?” said he, coming forward. And seeing that she was quite at a loss, “Never mind me. I am Mr. d’Urbcrville. Have you come to see me or my mother?”
This differed greatly from what Tess had expected. She tried to keep calm and answered—“I came to see your mother, sir.”
“I am afraid you cannot see her—she is ill in bed,” replied the young man, Mr. Alee, the only son of the noble (贵族的) family. “What is the business you wish to see her about?”
“It isn’t business—it is—if I tell you, it will seem—” Tess’s sense of ridicule (嘲弄) was now so strong that her pink face appeared towards a smile, much to the attraction of the young man. “It is so stupid”, she said lowly; “I fear I can’t tell you!”
“Never mind; I like stupid things. Try again, my dear,” said he kindly.
“Mother asked me to come,” Tess continued, “and, indeed, but I did not think it would be like this. I came, sir, to tell you that we are of the same family as you.” “Ho! Poor relatives?”
“Yes.”
“Stokes?”
“No; d’Urbervilles.”
“Ay, ay; I mean d’Urbervilles.”
“Our names are passed away to Durbeyfield; but we have several proofs (证据) that we are d’Urbervilles.—And—and we have an old silver spoon marked with the same castle (城堡) as yours. So Mother said we should make ourselves known to you, as we’ve lost our horse by a bad accident; we can hardly make a living.”
“Very kind of your mother, I’m sure.” Alec looked at Tess as he spoke, in a way that made her uncomfortable. “And so, my pretty girl, you’ve come on a friendly visit to us, as relatives?”
“I suppose I have,” looking less confident and uncomfortable again. “Well—there’s no harm in it. Where do you live? What are you?”
—Tess of the d’Urbervilles By Thomas Hardy

40题详解】

【41题详解】
推理判断题。根据“Our names are passed away to Durbeyfield; but we have several proofs (证据) that we are d’Urbervilles…we can hardly make a living”由此判断出,Tess拜访d’Urbervilles家,是为了表明自己的关系,并寻求帮助。故选B。
【42题详解】
推理判断题。根据“And so, my pretty girl, you’ve come on a friendly visit to us, as relatives?”可知“这么说,我的漂亮姑娘,你是以亲戚的身份来拜访我们的,是吗?”由此可推知,Alec对Tess很友好,主要是因为Tess是个漂亮的女孩。故选A。

Here’s one scene. Say you are in heavy traffic and your car’s brakes (刹车) start to fail. If you keep going, you will go into the back of a truck and probably die. But if you turn sharply to avoid the truck, you risk hitting an elderly woman or a group of children. What do you do?
This is an extreme choice. But every day, drivers around the world have to make quick decisions to avoid accidents. Often, they react without even having time to think. But what would a driverless car do?
Self-driving cars are designed to deal with all sorts of situations, from understanding traffic rules to planning the easiest route that avoids construction. These programming decisions are direct and clear. Ethics (道德), on the other hand, is not. How do you program a car to decide what to do in the case of an accident? How do you choose which life is more valuable? And who gets to choose? This is a problem that ethicists, lawyers, and car makers are all wondering about.
The ethicist opinion
Patrick Lin teaches robotics and ethics at California Polytechnic State University. He says that it might seem easy to say that self-driving cars must follow certain rules to minimize or reduce harm, but he says, “even that leads to morally murky (模糊的) decisions.” He gives an example: on one side of you is a motorcyclist wearing a helmet; on the other is a motorcyclist not wearing a helmet. If the car’s computer tells it to minimize harm during a necessary turn, that might mean hitting the person with the helmet. After all, they are better protected and so less likely to be hurt. But, Lin asks, aren’t you being unfair to the responsible (负责的) motorist?
According to Lin, any type of decision-making based on age, gender, or any similar factor would be discrimination (歧视) and therefore against standards of ethics. He explained that even the safest car runs the risk of having accidents, and that the responsibility for programming will lie with the car makers.
The legal opinion
But some experts say we don’t need to worry about this problem. Bryan Casey teaches at Stanford Law School. Casey says that what a self-driving car does in a crash is not an ethical issue (问题) at all. Instead, it is a legal issue. If a driver has a crash now, the law decides if he was driving dangerously or if it was truly an accident. If the driver was dangerously careless, he faces punishment, often a fine or jail. If a breakdown caused the crash, the car makers might be at fault. Either way, laws exist to decide what is wrong, and who is responsible. Casey says that will not change with the arrival of self-driving cars.
We expect self-driving cars to be very safe, safer than human drivers because computers can react more quickly. And indeed, an autonomous vehicle should be well designed and slow down or speed up in relation to the actual case. However, accidents can always happen. This means that drivers, car makers, and lawmakers will need to deal with new problems as they appear.
43. What is the most difficult problem facing self-driving cars now?
A. How to avoid causing accidents on the road.
B. When to slow down or speed up in actual case.
C. How to decide what to do in the case of an accident.
D. How to plan routes according to different situations.
44. The example of the motorcyclist (Para. 4) is to show ________.
A. all cars run the risk of having accidents
B. self-driving cars are unable to follow certain traffic rules
C. motorcyclists shouldn’t wear helmets so that self-driving cars won’t hit them
D. the decisions made by self-driving cars might go against standards of ethics
45. The underlined word “that” (Para. 6) refers to that ________.
A. who should be responsible for a crash is decided by laws
B. what a self-driving car does in a crash is an ethical issue
C. self-driving cars should also face punishment in a crash
D. the responsibility for programming lies with the car makers
46. The author would most probably agree that ________.
A. human drivers are much safer than self-driving cars
B. driving laws should change with the arrival of self-driving cars
C. there will always be accidents where someone gets hurt on the road
D. self-driving cars have the ability of thinking and making decisions for themselves
【答案】43. C 44. D 45. A 46. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了自动驾驶汽车以及不同人对它的不同看法。
【43题详解】
推理判断题。根据“The ethicist opinion”中例子可知,伦理专家认为自动驾驶汽车虽然可以很好的判断出如何做能把伤害降低到最小的程度,但是有时候对于另外一方是不公平的,可推测自动驾驶汽车存在的最大问题是在发生事故时决定怎么做。故选C。
【44题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段的事例和“According to Lin, any type of decision-making based on age, gender, or any similar factor would be discrimination and therefore against standards of ethics.”可知,事例说明虽然自动驾驶汽车可以降低伤害,但对于负责任的驾驶者所造成的伤害是不公平的,任何基于年龄、性别或任何类似因素的决策都是歧视,因此违反了道德标准,可推测例子显示自动驾驶汽车做出的决定可能违反道德标准。故选D。
【45题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第六段和“Either way, laws exist to decide what is wrong, and who is responsible. Casey says that will not change with the arrival of self-driving cars.”可知,法律专家认为自动驾驶汽车在车祸中做出的决定根本不是一个道德问题,而是一个法律问题,法律决定什么是错误的,以及谁应该对此事故负责,即谁应对车祸负责由法律决定这个情况不会随着自动驾驶汽车的到来而改变。故选A。
【46题详解】
推理判断题。根据“We expect self-driving cars to be very safe, safer than human drivers because computers can react more quickly.”,“Either way, laws exist to decide what is wrong, and who is responsible. Casey says that will not change with the arrival of self-driving cars.”,“However, accidents can always happen.”和“Self-driving cars are designed to deal with all sorts of situations,...”可知,我们猜想自动驾驶汽车比人驾驶汽车更安全;谁应对车祸负责由法律决定这个情况不会随着自动驾驶汽车的到来而改变;事故总可能发生;自动驾驶汽车被设计处理各种情况,可推测C选项“总会有某人在路上受伤的事故”与文章相符。故选C。
四、根据句意、所给中文、英文释义或首字母提示,写出句中所缺单词适当形式。
47. With the fast development of the world, we will face more and more ________ (挑战).

【62题详解】
句意:人们高度评价他。空处修饰动词“thought”,需用副词形式。high“高的”,形容词,副词形式是highly“高度地”。故填highly。
【63题详解】
句意:因此,他非常自豪,他为自己写了一副对联。空处作介词“for”的宾语,指代主语“he”本人,需用反身代词。he“他”,主格,反身代词为himself“他自己”。故填himself。
【64题详解】
句意:一位聪明的老人看到这对对联,心想:“对于苏轼来说学习如何保持谦虚是必要的。”此句为“It is+形容词+for sb to do sth”“对某人来说做某事是……的”结构。空处填动词不定式。learn“学习”,动词,不定式为to learn。故填to learn。
【65题详解】
句意:老人把书拿给苏轼看,解释说:“到目前为止,我已经读这本书好几遍了,但是仍然有一些我不明白的困难的词。”根据“so far”可知,此句时态用现在完成时,结构为have/has done。主语为“I”,助动词用have;read“读”,动词,过去分词仍为read。故填have read。
【66题详解】
句意:老人把书拿给苏轼看,解释说:“到目前为止,我已经读这本书好几遍了,但是仍然有一些我不明白的困难的词。”根据“I have read the book several times”和“there are still some difficult words that I can’t understand”可知,前后句为转折关系,虽然读了很多遍,但是仍有不理解的词。需用表示转折关系的连词but连接。故填but。
【67题详解】
句意:我问过很多人,但没有人能理解他们的含义。空处作宾语,需用名词形式。mean“意思是”,动词,名词是meaning“含义”,指具体含义时,是可数名词,位于“their”后,用复数的meanings。故填meanings。

【70题详解】
句意:苏轼尴尬地说:“现在我知道你为什么来了。”分析句子结构可知,此句为宾语从句。根据“I shouldn’t have been so arrogant”可知,苏轼知道了老人来到此处的原因是让自己不要如此自大。用why引导宾语从句,表示原因。故填why。
【71题详解】
句意:从那时起,他比以前更加地努力学习。空处修饰动词“worked”,且位于“than before”前,需用副词比较级。hard“努力地”,副词,比较级是harder“更努力地”。故填harder。
七、阅读与表达。
Fourteen-year-old Jimmy Cooper and the other boys on the local teenage football team may sometimes lose a game, but they won a fight against bullying.
Danny Edwards, the team’s “water boy”, was being bullied at school. Danny has had a speech disorder (语言障碍) since his birth. When he grew up, kids made fun of him for the way he talked and the way he dressed. Each day, Danny went to school in a favourite suit, tie and fedora hat (软呢帽). Danny didn’t think it was a big deal. “I…just feel…really…comfortable in it,” he said.
Jimmy was upset when he found out Danny was being bullied. “I thought to myself, no one should be picked on for the way he looks or speaks,” said Jimmy.
So Jimmy decided to wear the same suit and hat to school, too. “I did it to stand up for Danny and show him that bullying is not right. I wanted him to feel happy and safe and know that anywhere he goes, he’ll be treated fairly by his friends,” Jimmy said. “I knew Danny would like it. I told my mum that I didn’t care what people thought about me in school because I was doing it for Danny.”
When Jimmy told the other boys on the team what he was planning, they wanted to be part of it, too. So they planned a “Danny Edwards Appreciation Day (感恩日)”.
They decided that on a special day, instead of wearing football jerseys (球衣), they would dress like Danny. Word spread about the special day, and other kids in school decided to show their support, too. On the planned day, they all dressed in suits and ties and met in the school library where they cheered, stomped their feet, and chanted “Danny! Danny! Danny!”.
“I was…really…really happy, and it made…my…day,” said Danny. “It’s really meaningful for us to team up for kids like Danny,” Jimmy said.
