三、阅读理解(15分)

As soon as it stopped snowing, Pinocchio set out for school with his fine spelling-book under his arm. As he went along the road, he thought, “Today at school I will learn to read at once. Tomorrow, I will begin to write. The day after tomorrow, I will...Then, with what I will learn, I will make a lot of money, and with the money I will buy a new cloth coat for my dad Geppetto. No! It should be all made of gold and silver. That poor man really deserves (值得) it!”
Suddenly, he heard music that sounded like fifes (横笛) and the beating of a big drum. He stopped and listened. The sounds came from the end of across street.
“What can that music be? What a pity that I have to go to school, or else...” Pinocchio said. And he was irresolute (犹豫不决的). “Should I go to school? Or should I go to the place where the music came from?” he said to himself. He thought for a while, and then he made a decision.
The faster he ran, the nearer came the sounds of fifes and the beating of a big drum. At last, he found himself in the middle of a square quite full of people, who were all crowded round a building.
“What is that building?” asked Pinocchio, turning to a little boy.
“Read the poster—it is all written—and then you will know.”
“I would read it willingly, but it so happens that today I don’t know how to read.”
“Well. I will read it to you. The writing on that poster is: The Great Puppet (木偶) Theatre.”
“Has the play begun?”
“It is beginning now.”
“How much does it cost to go in?”
“A dime.”
Pinocchio was really interested. Without any shame, he said to the little boy, “Would you lend me a dime?”
“I would lend it to you willingly,” said the little boy, “but it so happens that today I cannot give it to you.”
“I will sell you my jacket for a dime.” Pinocchio said.
“What can I do with a jacket made of flowered paper? If there were rain and it got wet, it would be impossible to get it off my back.”
“Will you buy my shoes?”
“They will only be of use to light the fire.”
“How much will you give me for my cap?”
“A cap made of bread crumb (屑)? There will be a risk of the mice coming to eat it when it was on my head.”
“Will you give me a dime for this new spelling-book?”
“No. I don’t buy from boys.”
“I will buy the spelling-book for a dime,” called out a hawker who sold old clothes. He had been listening to the conversation.
The book was sold there, and then Pinocchio got a dime. While poor Geppetto, was shaking with cold in his shirt at home in order that his son should have a spelling-book.

Mary went to see Colin the next morning. He looked sad and tired and his face was white. Mary knew that this was the moment to tell him everything.
“Can I trust you?” Mary asked.
“Yes—yes!” he whispered.
“Dickon is coming to see you tomorrow. And also … I … I found the door into the secret garden.”
Colin’s eyes grew bigger and bigger.
Mary went on, “Colin, we’re going to take you there!”
The next day, a strong servant (仆人) carried Colin downstairs and put him in his wheelchair. Dickon was waiting for him outside. Dickon pushed the wheelchair slowly and carefully. Mary walked next to it. They went across the lawn to the long road near the wall.
“This is where I walked up and down looking for the door,” whispered Mary. They walked a bit further then Mary whispered again: “The robin flew over the wall here. And there,” she said, pointing under a big bush in the flower bed, “is where I found the key”.
Then Dickon stopped pushing the chair.
“And look!” Mary moved the ivy branch (常春藤树枝). “Here is the door. Dickon, push him in—push him in quickly!”
When they were inside the garden, Colin looked round and round. He saw the walls and the earth and the trees with their new green leaves. In the grass under the trees there were flowers—gold and purple and white. The trees were covered in pink and white flowers. The sun was warm on his face. Mary and Dickon looked at him. He looked different. His face was pink, not white.
“Mary! Dickon! I’m going to get well!” Colin suddenly cried. “And I’m going to live forever and ever!”
Dickon pushed his wheelchair slowly round and round the garden. He often stopped to show Colin something—green buds(嫩芽), a feather, an empty eggshell.
“I’m going to come back tomorrow, and the day after, and the day after,” said Colin.

Ned wanted to escape from the Nautilus while we were in the Mediterranean. However, he had no chance. The submarine (潜艇) raced into the Atlantic in two days mostly staying deep under the water. I saw many shipwrecks (沉船) along the way. Some were very old. Others were recent. As it surfaced, the submarine turned north.
Ned came to my room. “Tonight!” he said. “Tonight?” I wasn’t ready for this. “Tonight,” he repeated, “we are a few miles off the Spanish coast. It will be dark, and the wind is blowing in the right direction. You agreed, Dr. Aronnax, to escape with me. Remember your promise!” I said nothing. “At nine, I will go to the staircase with Conseil. You will wait in the library for our signal. Everything is ready.”
“The sea is quite rough (汹涌的),” I said.
“Yes, but if we don’t go tonight, we will soon be too far from land!”
I knew he was right. I was also frightened. What would Captain Nemo do if he discovered our plan or if we failed? I had not seen him for several days. Now I didn’t want to see him. He might notice that I was nervous. So I stayed in my room.
As I waited for Ned’s signal, the Nautilus’s engines stopped. I felt a bump as the submarine came to rest on the ocean floor.
The library door opened and Captain Nemo entered. He took me to the window. I found the crew of the Nautilus were gathering some gold from the sand and bringing it to the submarine. Now I knew how the captain became so rich. “But of what use is all this gold to you?” I asked. “It’s of no use to me!” he replied.” “But it can help people who are suffering.”
Ned came to my room the next morning. “We were unlucky. The Nautilus stopped just as we were about to escape.”
I told him what I had learnt about Nemo and the gold. I hoped that Ned would change his mind, but he didn’t. The Nautilus was going away from the land. The escape was impossible now. Ned was disappointed, but I was not.
At eleven that night, I was surprised that Captain Nemo invited me to go for a night walk under the sea.
37.What reasons did Ned give for wanting to escape that night?
a. They were close to the Spanish coast.
b. There had been a lot of shipwrecks.
c. It would be dark.
d. The wind was blowing in the right direction.
e. The sea was quite peaceful.
A.abc B.acd C.abd D.ace
38.Why did Dr. Aronnax remain in his room?
A.He wanted to have a rest.
B.He wanted to collect some gold.
C.He didn’t want to leave the submarine.
D.He didn’t want to see Captain Nemo.
39.Which of the following shows the correct order?
①The submarine passed many shipwrecks.
②Captain Nemo invited Dr. Aronnax for a walk.
③The Nautilus moved away from land.
④The crew brought gold to the submarine.
⑤Ned asked Dr. Aronnax to escape.
A.1-2-3-4-5 B.2-1-3-4-5 C.1-4-5-3-2 D.1-5-4-3-2

C.A Chance to Be Rich D.Helping Unlucky People

[The following is an excerpt from Klara and the Sun by Kazuo Ishiguro. The novel talks about an AI “Friend” Klara who believes the Sun can heal her sick human friend.]
When we were new, Rosa and I stayed in the middle of the store, near the magazine table. From there we could see part of the window and watch the outside world—people passing by, taxis, tourists, Beggar Man and his dog, and the lower part of the RPO Building.
Later, after we got used to the store, Manager let us walk to the front behind the shop window. From there we could see how tall the RPO Building was. And if we were there at just the right time, we would see the Sun crossing between the buildings.
When I was lucky enough to see him, I’d move my face forward to take in as much of his nourishment (滋养) as I could, and if Rosa was with me, I’d tell her to do the same. After a minute or two, we’d have to return to our places and when we were new, we worried that because we couldn’t see the Sun from the middle of the store, we’d grow weaker. Boy AF Rex, who was next to us, told us not to worry. He pointed to the floor and said, “That’s the Sun’s pattern right there. If you’re worried, you can just touch it and get strong again.”
There were no customers then. Manager was busy, and I didn’t want to bother her. So I took a quick look at Rosa. When she looked back with no expression, I stepped forward, bent down and reached out to touch the Sun’s pattern (图案). But as soon as I touched it, the pattern was gone. I tried everything—patting (拍打) the spot, rubbing (摩擦) the floor—but it wouldn’t come back.
When I stood up, Rex said, “Klara, that was greedy (贪婪的). You took all the nourishment for yourself. Look, it’s almost dark.”
“I’m sorry,” I said. “I didn’t mean to.”
“Because of you,” Rex said, “I’ ll become weak by evening.”
“You’ re joking,” I said.
“I’m not. I could get sick right now. And those AFs in the back? They’re already not well. They’ll get worse now. You were greedy, Klara.”
“I don’t believe you,” I said, but I was no longer sure. I looked at Rosa—her face was still blank.
“I’m feeling sick already,” Rex said.
“But you just said the Sun always reaches us. You’re joking.”
In the end, I made myself believe Rex was joking with me. But I sensed I had made him bring up something uncomfortable – something most AFs preferred not to talk about. Not long after, that thing happened to Rex. It made me think that even if he had been joking that day, part of him had been serious too.
41.Why did Klara decide to touch the Sun’s pattern on the floor?
A.Because she wondered if Rex was right. B.Because Rosa asked her to do it.
C.Because Manager told her to do it. D.Because she wanted to play a trick on Rex.
42.What does the underlined word “blank” most likely mean?
A.Showing doubt. B.Showing worry.
C.Showing sadness. D.Showing no emotions.
43.According to Boy AF Rex, what was Klara’s mistake in this situation?
A.She left her place without asking the Manager.
B.She took in all the sunlight for herself.
C.She touched the pattern without permission.
D.She made the Sun disappear from the store.
44.How did Klara’s attitude toward Rex’s words change during the story?
A.At first, Klara didn’t believe Rex, but later she thought some of his words might be true.
B.Klara always thought Rex was joking and never took his words seriously.
C.Klara went from being worried about Rex to not caring about him anymore.
D.Klara got really scared of what Rex said and stopped thinking about whether it was true.
45.What does the last sentence suggest about “that thing” that happened to Rex?
A.It was a fortunate event that Rex had been hoping for.
B.It was a common problem that few AFs experienced.
C.It was related to the unspoken fear of weakness that AFs shared.
D.It was a direct result of Klara taking the Sun’s nourishment for herself.

阅读并根据下面的短文,在表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。
Sage of calligraphy
Wang Xizhi was born in Linyi of Shandong Province. He served as a general and officer in the Jin Dynasty, and was a famous calligrapher. Wang is still known as the calligraphy sage (圣人).
Wang’s uncles and cousins were all famous calligraphers of their time. At seven, Wang began a systematic (系统性的) study of calligraphy under a female calligrapher, WeiShuo. He kept copying the Wei-style calligraphy for years and learned much from the works of calligraphers.
To practise calligraphy, wherever he went, he would try to find out the styles of previous calligraphers and copy them, through collecting many calligraphic materials. There were writing brushes, ink sticks and ink stones in his study, yard and even outside the toilet. Whenever he thought of a well-structured character, he would write it down right away.
Wang wrote with smoothness and grandness (宏伟). Some people have described his calligraphy as “the dragon jumping over the heavenly gate and the tiger lying in the palace of the phoenix (凤凰)”. Wang was good at many types of calligraphy but the xingshu-style Preface to the Orchid Pavilion Collection (《兰亭集序》) is the most popular of his works.
There is a story behind this work. In 353, Wang invited famous people to get together at a party with 41 guests at the Orchid Pavilion, where they drank. The guests were asked to write poems. The poems were collected, and Wang wrote Preface to the Orchid Pavilion Collection on his own, describing how happy these men were. Wang’s talent in calligraphy was brought into full play during it.
The Song Dynasty scholar Mi Fu called Preface to the Orchid Pavilion Collection the world’s best work in xingshu style. It’s said that Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty treasured the work and had it buried in his tomb. Wang left behind calligraphic works, and Preface to the Orchid Pavilion Collection is one of them.

【详解】句意:——爸爸,我们必须带伞吗?看起来要下雨了。——是的,我们必须带。天气预报说今天下午有大雨。
考查must和have to的用法区别。have to强调“客观需要”,“不得不”做某事。must强调“主观意愿”,表示说话人自己认为“必须”做某事。第一空格,问句do we...take umbrellas?”是因为“看起来要下雨”这个客观情况,所以用have to。第二空格,答句中“天气预报说有大雨”表达说话人的主观看法,所以用must来回应,B选项符合语境。故选B。

As soon as it stopped snowing, Pinocchio set out for school with his fine spelling-book under his arm. As he went along the road, he thought, “Today at school I will learn to read at once. Tomorrow, I will begin to write. The day after tomorrow, I will...Then, with what I will learn, I will make a lot of money, and with the money I will buy a new cloth coat for my dad Geppetto. No! It should be all made of gold and silver. That poor man really deserves (值得) it!”
Suddenly, he heard music that sounded like fifes (横笛) and the beating of a big drum. He stopped and listened. The sounds came from the end of across street.
“What can that music be? What a pity that I have to go to school, or else...” Pinocchio said. And he was irresolute (犹豫不决的). “Should I go to school? Or should I go to the place where the music came from?” he said to himself. He thought for a while, and then he made a decision.
The faster he ran, the nearer came the sounds of fifes and the beating of a big drum. At last, he found himself in the middle of a square quite full of people, who were all crowded round a building.
“What is that building?” asked Pinocchio, turning to a little boy.
“Read the poster—it is all written—and then you will know.”
“I would read it willingly, but it so happens that today I don’t know how to read.”
“Well. I will read it to you. The writing on that poster is: The Great Puppet (木偶) Theatre.”
“Has the play begun?”
“It is beginning now.”
“How much does it cost to go in?”
“A dime.”
Pinocchio was really interested. Without any shame, he said to the little boy, “Would you lend me a dime?”
“I would lend it to you willingly,” said the little boy, “but it so happens that today I cannot give it to you.”
“I will sell you my jacket for a dime.” Pinocchio said.
“What can I do with a jacket made of flowered paper? If there were rain and it got wet, it would be impossible to get it off my back.”
“Will you buy my shoes?”
“They will only be of use to light the fire.”
“How much will you give me for my cap?”
“A cap made of bread crumb (屑)? There will be a risk of the mice coming to eat it when it was on my head.”
“Will you give me a dime for this new spelling-book?”
“No. I don’t buy from boys.”
“I will buy the spelling-book for a dime,” called out a hawker who sold old clothes. He had been listening to the conversation.
The book was sold there, and then Pinocchio got a dime. While poor Geppetto, was shaking with cold in his shirt at home in order that his son should have a spelling-book.

31.根据文章第三段前文可知,匹诺曹听到音乐后在犹豫是去上学还是去音乐传来的地方,后文又提到“The faster he ran, the nearer came the sounds of fifes and the beating of a big drum. At last he found himself in the middle of a square quite full of people”,即他朝着音乐的方向跑去了。所以这里的“decision”指的是“去音乐传来的地方”,故选B。
32.首先,第一段提到“As soon as it stopped snowing, Pinocchio set out for school with his fine spelling - book under his arm”,即匹诺曹夹着拼写本出发去上学,对应a;接着,第三段提到“At last he found himself in the middle of a square quite full of people”,他跑到了挤满人的广场,对应d;然后,第十二段提到“Pinocchio was very curious. Without any shame, he said to the little boy, ‘Would you lend me a dime?’”,他向小男孩借一角钱,对应b;最后,最后一段提到“The book was sold there and then Pinocchio got a dime”,他把拼写本卖给了小贩,对应c。所以正确顺序为a-d-b-c。
33.D选项“Geppetto loved his son Pinocchio deeply”,从最后一段“While poor Geppetto, was shaking with cold in his shirt at home in order that his son should have a spelling - book”可知,杰佩托为了给儿子买拼写本,在家穿着衬衫冻得发抖,说明他非常爱匹诺曹,D正确。

Mary went to see Colin the next morning. He looked sad and tired and his face was white. Mary knew that this was the moment to tell him everything.
“Can I trust you?” Mary asked.
“Yes—yes!” he whispered.
“Dickon is coming to see you tomorrow. And also … I … I found the door into the secret garden.”
Colin’s eyes grew bigger and bigger.
Mary went on, “Colin, we’re going to take you there!”
The next day, a strong servant (仆人) carried Colin downstairs and put him in his wheelchair. Dickon was waiting for him outside. Dickon pushed the wheelchair slowly and carefully. Mary walked next to it. They went across the lawn to the long road near the wall.
“This is where I walked up and down looking for the door,” whispered Mary. They walked a bit further then Mary whispered again: “The robin flew over the wall here. And there,” she said, pointing under a big bush in the flower bed, “is where I found the key”.
Then Dickon stopped pushing the chair.
“And look!” Mary moved the ivy branch (常春藤树枝). “Here is the door. Dickon, push him in—push him in quickly!”
When they were inside the garden, Colin looked round and round. He saw the walls and the earth and the trees with their new green leaves. In the grass under the trees there were flowers—gold and purple and white. The trees were covered in pink and white flowers. The sun was warm on his face. Mary and Dickon looked at him. He looked different. His face was pink, not white.
“Mary! Dickon! I’m going to get well!” Colin suddenly cried. “And I’m going to live forever and ever!”
Dickon pushed his wheelchair slowly round and round the garden. He often stopped to show Colin something—green buds(嫩芽), a feather, an empty eggshell.
“I’m going to come back tomorrow, and the day after, and the day after,” said Colin.

36.Why did Colin say “I’m going to get well”?
A.He had fun visiting his new friends. B.He felt hopeful in the lively garden.
C.He found a special plant for his illness. D.He could walk around the garden himself.
【答案】34.D 35.A 36.B
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了Mary带Colin去秘密花园,Colin在花园里感受到生机与希望,认为自己会好起来的故事。
34.文章第五段“Colin’s eyes grew bigger and bigger.”以及后文Mary说“Colin, we’re going to take you there!”可知,Colin听到要去秘密花园后眼睛越睁越大,这表明他对秘密花园很感兴趣。
35.根据文章内容,先是“a strong servant (仆人) carried Colin downstairs and put him in his wheelchair.”即Colin被抬下楼并放进轮椅,对应c;接着“Dickon pushed the wheelchair slowly and carefully. Mary walked next to it. They went across the lawn...”即Dickon推着轮椅穿过草坪,对应a;然后“Mary moved the ivy branch (常春藤树枝). ‘Here is the door...’”即Mary移动常春藤树枝,展示给他们门,对应d;再接着“When they were inside the garden, Colin looked round and round. He saw the walls and the earth and the trees with their new green leaves...”即Colin在花园里看到树和花很兴奋,对应e;最后“‘Mary! Dickon! I’m going to get well!’ Colin suddenly cried.”即Colin告诉Mary和Dickon他会好起来,对应b。所以正确顺序是c-a-d-e-b。
36.文章中Colin进入花园后,看到“the trees with their new green leaves. In the grass under the trees there were flowers—gold and purple and white. The trees were covered in pink and white flowers. The sun was warm on his face.”花园里充满生机,这让他感到有希望,所以说“I’m going to get well”。

Ned wanted to escape from the Nautilus while we were in the Mediterranean. However, he had no chance. The submarine (潜艇) raced into the Atlantic in two days mostly staying deep under the water. I saw many shipwrecks (沉船) along the way. Some were very old. Others were recent. As it surfaced, the submarine turned north.
Ned came to my room. “Tonight!” he said. “Tonight?” I wasn’t ready for this. “Tonight,” he repeated, “we are a few miles off the Spanish coast. It will be dark, and the wind is blowing in the right direction. You agreed, Dr. Aronnax, to escape with me. Remember your promise!” I said nothing. “At nine, I will go to the staircase with Conseil. You will wait in the library for our signal. Everything is ready.”
“The sea is quite rough (汹涌的),” I said.
“Yes, but if we don’t go tonight, we will soon be too far from land!”
I knew he was right. I was also frightened. What would Captain Nemo do if he discovered our plan or if we failed? I had not seen him for several days. Now I didn’t want to see him. He might notice that I was nervous. So I stayed in my room.
As I waited for Ned’s signal, the Nautilus’s engines stopped. I felt a bump as the submarine came to rest on the ocean floor.
The library door opened and Captain Nemo entered. He took me to the window. I found the crew of the Nautilus were gathering some gold from the sand and bringing it to the submarine. Now I knew how the captain became so rich. “But of what use is all this gold to you?” I asked. “It’s of no use to me!” he replied.” “But it can help people who are suffering.”
Ned came to my room the next morning. “We were unlucky. The Nautilus stopped just as we were about to escape.”
I told him what I had learnt about Nemo and the gold. I hoped that Ned would change his mind, but he didn’t. The Nautilus was going away from the land. The escape was impossible now. Ned was disappointed, but I was not.
At eleven that night, I was surprised that Captain Nemo invited me to go for a night walk under the sea.
37.What reasons did Ned give for wanting to escape that night?
a. They were close to the Spanish coast.
b. There had been a lot of shipwrecks.
c. It would be dark.
d. The wind was blowing in the right direction.

③The Nautilus moved away from land.
④The crew brought gold to the submarine.
⑤Ned asked Dr. Aronnax to escape.

A.A Plan to Escape B.Gathering Some Gold
C.A Chance to Be Rich D.Helping Unlucky People
【答案】37.B 38.D 39.D 40.A
【导语】本文主要讲述了Ned计划从鹦鹉螺号潜艇中逃跑,但最终因潜艇意外停下和船长尼摩的行动而计划失败,期间“我”还见证了船员收集黄金的场景。

38.细节理解题。根据“I had not seen him for several days. Now I didn’t want to see him. He might notice that I was nervous. So I stayed in my room.”可知,Dr. Aronnax待在房间里是因为不想被尼摩船长发现自己的紧张。故选D。
39.细节理解题。根据“I saw many shipwrecks along the way.”可知,这艘潜艇经过了许多沉船,即①;根据“You agreed, Dr. Aronnax, to escape with me.”可知,Ned要求Dr. Aronnax和他一起逃跑,即⑤;根据“I found the crew of the Nautilus were gathering some gold from the sand and bringing it to the submarine.”可知,船员们把金子带到了潜艇,即④;根据“The Nautilus was going away from the land.”可知,鹦鹉螺号离开了陆地;即③;根据“At eleven that night, I was surprised that Captain Nemo invited me to go for a night walk under the sea.”可知,Nemo船长邀请Dr. Aronnax散步,即②。因此正确的顺序是①-⑤-④-③-②。故选D。

[The following is an excerpt from Klara and the Sun by Kazuo Ishiguro. The novel talks about an AI “Friend” Klara who believes the Sun can heal her sick human friend.]
When we were new, Rosa and I stayed in the middle of the store, near the magazine table. From there we could see part of the window and watch the outside world—people passing by, taxis, tourists, Beggar Man and his dog, and the lower part of the RPO Building.
Later, after we got used to the store, Manager let us walk to the front behind the shop window. From there we could see how tall the RPO Building was. And if we were there at just the right time, we would see the Sun crossing between the buildings.
When I was lucky enough to see him, I’d move my face forward to take in as much of his nourishment (滋养) as I could, and if Rosa was with me, I’d tell her to do the same. After a minute or two, we’d have to return to our places and when we were new, we worried that because we couldn’t see the Sun from the middle of the store, we’d grow weaker. Boy AF Rex, who was next to us, told us not to worry. He pointed to the floor and said, “That’s the Sun’s pattern right there. If you’re worried, you can just touch it and get strong again.”
There were no customers then. Manager was busy, and I didn’t want to bother her. So I took a quick look at Rosa. When she looked back with no expression, I stepped forward, bent down and reached out to touch the Sun’s pattern (图案). But as soon as I touched it, the pattern was gone. I tried everything—patting (拍打) the spot, rubbing (摩擦) the floor—but it wouldn’t come back.
When I stood up, Rex said, “Klara, that was greedy (贪婪的). You took all the nourishment for yourself. Look, it’s almost dark.”
“I’m sorry,” I said. “I didn’t mean to.”
“Because of you,” Rex said, “I’ ll become weak by evening.”
“You’ re joking,” I said.
“I’m not. I could get sick right now. And those AFs in the back? They’re already not well. They’ll get worse now. You were greedy, Klara.”
“I don’t believe you,” I said, but I was no longer sure. I looked at Rosa—her face was still blank.
“I’m feeling sick already,” Rex said.
“But you just said the Sun always reaches us. You’re joking.”
In the end, I made myself believe Rex was joking with me. But I sensed I had made him bring up something uncomfortable – something most AFs preferred not to talk about. Not long after, that thing happened to Rex. It made me think that even if he had been joking that day, part of him had been serious too.

【答案】41.A 42.D 43.B 44.A 45.C
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,节选自小说《克拉拉与太阳》,讲述了人工智能朋友克拉拉在商店里听信同伴雷克斯的话触碰地板上太阳图案,却导致图案消失,进而引发雷克斯指责其贪婪,克拉拉内心态度逐渐变化的故事。
41.文中雷克斯告诉克拉拉和罗莎地板上的图案是太阳的痕迹,触碰就能获得力量,克拉拉因此触碰太阳图案,验证雷克斯的说法是否正确,对应答案为Because she wondered if Rex was right。
42.前文提到罗莎看向克拉拉时没有任何表情,结合语境可知“blank”意为没有表现出任何情绪,对应答案为Showing no emotions。
43.雷克斯指责克拉拉“that was greedy. You took all the nourishment for yourself”,表明雷克斯认为克拉拉的错误是独自吸收了所有阳光,对应答案为She took in all the sunlight for herself。
44.克拉拉起初对雷克斯的话表示质疑,认为对方在开玩笑,后来却不再确定,最后还觉得雷克斯的话有一部分是认真的,对应答案为At first, Klara didn’t believe Rex, but later she thought some of his words might be true。
45.最后一段提到雷克斯提及的是大多数人工智能不愿谈论的令人不安的事,而发生在雷克斯身上的事让克拉拉觉得他的话有认真的成分,可推断这件事和人工智能们不愿言说的虚弱恐惧相关,对应答案为It was related to the unspoken fear of weakness that AFs shared。

阅读并根据下面的短文,在表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。
Sage of calligraphy
Wang Xizhi was born in Linyi of Shandong Province. He served as a general and officer in the Jin Dynasty, and was a famous calligrapher. Wang is still known as the calligraphy sage (圣人).
Wang’s uncles and cousins were all famous calligraphers of their time. At seven, Wang began a systematic (系统性的) study of calligraphy under a female calligrapher, WeiShuo. He kept copying the Wei-style calligraphy for years and learned much from the works of calligraphers.
To practise calligraphy, wherever he went, he would try to find out the styles of previous calligraphers and copy them, through collecting many calligraphic materials. There were writing brushes, ink sticks and ink stones in his study, yard and even outside the toilet. Whenever he thought of a well-structured character, he would write it down right away.
Wang wrote with smoothness and grandness (宏伟). Some people have described his calligraphy as “the dragon jumping over the heavenly gate and the tiger lying in the palace of the phoenix (凤凰)”. Wang was good at many types of calligraphy but the xingshu-style Preface to the Orchid Pavilion Collection (《兰亭集序》) is the most popular of his works.
There is a story behind this work. In 353, Wang invited famous people to get together at a party with 41 guests at the Orchid Pavilion, where they drank. The guests were asked to write poems. The poems were collected, and Wang wrote Preface to the Orchid Pavilion Collection on his own, describing how happy these men were. Wang’s talent in calligraphy was brought into full play during it.
The Song Dynasty scholar Mi Fu called Preface to the Orchid Pavilion Collection the world’s best work in xingshu style. It’s said that Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty treasured the work and had it buried in his tomb. Wang left behind calligraphic works, and Preface to the Orchid Pavilion Collection is one of them.
