A. have fallen B. have been fallen C. had fallen D. had been fallen 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】考查过去完成时。句意：这部电影很无聊。电影结束的时候，我已经睡着了。先理解句子的语境和时态。句子描述的是电影结束后的情况，即“到电影结束时，我已经...”。由于“电影结束”是一个过去的动作，需要使用过去时态来描述这个时刻之前已经发生的事情，即“过去的过去”， 因此用过去完成时，主语I 和 fall asleep之间是主动关系，因此用过去完成时的主动形式。故选C项。 29. —Edward, do you mind giving me a ride to the railway station? — . I’d be glad to. A. Yes, I do B. Of course not C. Never mind D. Go ahead 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】考查交易用语。句意：—爱德华，你介意载我去火车站吗?根据I’d be glad to.（我愿意）可知，此处表示“不介意”。A. Yes, I do是的，我介意；B. Of course not当然不（介意）；C.

From a very young age, Tesla was interested in electricity. In 1881 Tesla moved to Budapest and got a job. It was there that Tesla first thought of the idea of the alternating current (交流电) (AC). In 1884, Tesla moved to America and worked for Thomas Edison. But Tesla worked for Edison for less than a year. Tesla was sure his AC motor was the best way to capture and transport the power of electricity. However, Edison thought his way of using direct current (DC) was better and considered AC unsafe. But soon the scientific community accepted AC was more powerful than DC and it was proved safe. In 1895, Tesla designed the first water power plant using the energy of the Niagara Falls. And he did it using the AC motor. After the success of AC, Tesla became well known. He travelled and spoke to many scientists about his inventions and ideas. He built a large laboratory. However, it burned down not long after it was built. As Tesla got older, he continued to come up with new ideas and theories. But he was less successful and famous. Many people didn’t recognize that particular inventions were really Tesla’s ideas. Tesla gave speeches about creating electrical power from the earth’s atmosphere. He also talked about ways that wireless electricity and communication could power things all over the world. But to the people of his time, these ideas sounded crazy. However, some of his ideas have now been supported by modern research and technology. Tesla’s last years were lonely and sad. He received many awards, but received very little money. When he died in 1943, he was no longer famous and felt forgotten. Today, not many people know the name of Nicola Tesla but his inventions and ideas affect our lives every day! 56. Why did Tesla stop working for Edison? A. Tesla was badly paid there. B. They had some disagreements. C. They had very different characters. D. Tesla wanted to move back to Europe. 57. Which of the following is the correct order about Tesla’s life experiences? a．Tesla’s lab burned down. b．Tesla worked for Edison. c．Tesla built a water power plant. d．Tesla moved to Budapest. A. d-b-c-a. B. d-b-a-c. C. b-d-c-a. D. b-c-d-a. 58. In his later years, Tesla ______. A. lived a colorful life B. was misunderstood and doubted C. was unable to think out new ideas D. earned a lot as an award-winning inventor 59. What can we learn from the text? A. Tesla became famous as an assistant to Edison. B. Tesla was way ahead of modern technology. C. Tesla had great interest in travelling. D. Tesla was not good at speeches. 60. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Nicola Tesla, a challenger for difficulties B. Nicola Tesla, a dreamer in science C. Nicola Tesla, a forgotten inventor D. Nicola Tesla, a strange scientist 【答案】56. B 57. A 58. B 59. B 60. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要介绍了发明家尼古拉·特斯拉的生平、科研成就、人生遭遇，以及其发明和想法对如今人们生活的深远影响。 【56题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Tesla was sure his AC motor was the best way to capture and transport the power of electricity. However, Edison thought his way of using direct current (DC) was better and considered AC unsafe.(特斯拉确信他的交流电动机是获取和传输电能的最佳方式。然而，爱迪生认为他使用直流电的方法更好，并认为交流电是不安全的。)”可知，特斯拉和爱迪生在电流使用的问题上存在分歧，这是特斯拉不再为爱迪生工作的原因。故选B项。 【57题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“In 1881 Tesla moved to Budapest and got a job.(1881年，特斯拉搬到布达佩斯并找到了一份工作。)”，第二段中的“In 1884, Tesla moved to America and worked for Thomas Edison.(1884年，特斯拉搬到美国，为托马斯·爱迪生工作。)”，第三段中的“In 1895, Tesla designed the first water power plant using the energy of the Niagara Falls.(1895年，特斯拉利用尼亚加拉大瀑布的能量设计了第一座水力发电站。)”和“He built a large laboratory. However, it burned down not long after it was built.(他建了一个大型实验室。然而，它建成后不久就被烧毁了。)”可知，事件的正确顺序为d-b-c-a。故选A项。 【58题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“But he was less successful and famous. Many people didn’t recognize that particular inventions were really Tesla’s ideas.(但他不再那么成功和有名了。许多人都不知道某些发明其实是特斯拉的想法。)”和第五段中的“But to the people of his time, these ideas sounded crazy.(但对他那个时代的人来说，这些想法听起来很疯狂。)”可知，特斯拉晚年的想法不被当时的人理解，还受到了质疑。故选B项。 【59题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中的“However, some of his ideas have now been supported by modern research and technology.(然而，他的一些想法现在得到了现代研究和技术的支持。)”可知，特斯拉的一些想法在他的时代不被认可，却在如今被证实，说明他的想法远超当时的科技水平，走在了现代科技的前面。故选B项。 【60题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段中的“When he died in 1943, he was no longer famous and felt forgotten. Today, not many people know the name of Nicola Tesla but his inventions and ideas affect our lives every day!(1943年他去世时，已经不再出名，还感觉自己被遗忘了。如今，没有多少人知道尼古拉·特斯拉这个名字，但他的发明和想法却每天都在影响着我们的生活！)”可知，文章讲述了特斯拉的一生，重点突出了他生前和死后都不被太多人知晓的境遇，因此“被遗忘的发明家尼古拉·特斯拉”最适合作为文章标题。故选C项。 C Mom was right! If you say thank you, for even the smallest gift or slightest show of kindness, you’ll feel happy. Gratitude (感激), says Robert A. Emmons, a professor of psychology at the University of California, is an important element of happiness. In his recent book, Thanks!, Emmons uses the first major study on gratitude to prove mom’s point. In acknowledging and developing this much-ignored expression of thankfulness, he explains how people have benefited — even improved their health. As one of the leading scholars of the positive psychology movement, he admits gratitude may be difficult to express. He advises you to begin by admitting that life is good and full of events and elements that make daily existence a wonder. Second, recognize that the source of life’s goodness is more than just you. That source may be your mom, a friend, partner, child, colleague at work or play, or any combination of these. Gratitude is always other-directed, notes Emmons. You can be pleased or angry with yourself and feel guilty about doing something wrong, but you can never be grateful to or for yourself. Expressing gratitude shouldn’t be a reaction; it should be state of mind. To feel grateful when life is a breeze and you have more than you need is easy. To feel grateful in time of crisis — anger, hatred and bitterness — is easier. Also, too many people are aware of life’s blessings only after these are lost. The voices expressing gratitude from his studies of individuals are many. It’s crisis and chaos — danger, disease, disability and death — that bring many individuals to realize just how dependent they are on others. Yet it’s the way each of us begins life and ends it. It’s too bad that so many people waste those decades in between laboring under the illusion (幻觉) that they are self-sufficient (自给自足的), says Emmons. To enable and embrace gratitude, Emmons encourages the readers of Thanks! to keep a gratitude diary. He even provides easy-to-follow directions on how to practice and develop gratitude. I’m not a reader or advocate of self-help books, but I am thankful for the reference I found in a newspaper article to the research Emmons was conducting on gratitude involving organ donors and recipients (接受者). The chance discovery led me to this book. Mom implied that kindness seems to find its way back to the giver because life really is all about giving, receiving and repaying. So, I’ll pay attention to her professional advice and say: Thank you, Professor Emmons. 61. What does the text mainly discuss? A. There are many ways of being thankful. B. Gratitude is important to happiness. C. Mom is great for her being thankful. D. Being thankful will keep you fit. 62. The author mentions Robert Emmons’ book Thanks! in order to prove that ______. A. Professor Emmons supports mom’s study on psychology. B. mom is as great a psychologist as Professor Emmons C. Professor Emmons is a famous psychologist D. mom is right about her viewpoint on gratitude 63. It will be easier for you to feel grateful when ______. A. you live a comfortable life B. you receive gifts on your birthday C. you get help during your hard times D. you are congratulated on your success 64. What is the opinion of Professor Emmons? A.

According to Emmons, people can express gratitude by _______. A. keeping a gratitude diary B. reading self-help books C. feeling self-sufficient D. remaining dependent on others 【答案】61. B 62. D 63. C 64. C 65. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了感恩对幸福感的重要性，介绍了加州大学心理学教授Robert A. Emmons在其著作《Thanks!》中关于感恩的研究成果，阐述了感恩的定义、表达方式以及培养感恩心态的方法。 【61题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“Gratitude (感激), says Robert A. Emmons, a professor of psychology at the University of California, is an important element of happiness. (加州大学心理学教授Robert A. Emmons说，感激是幸福感的一个重要组成部分)”以及全文围绕感恩与幸福感的关系展开论述可知，本文主要讨论的是感恩对幸福感的重要性。故选B。 【62题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“In his recent book, Thanks!, Emmons uses the first major study on gratitude to prove mom’s point.(在他最近出版的Thanks!一书中，Emmons利用首个关于感恩的重要研究来证明妈妈的观点)”以及文章首句“Mom was right!(妈妈是对的！)”可推知，作者提到Emmons的书是为了证明妈妈关于感恩的观点是正确的。故选D。 【63题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“To feel grateful in time of crisis — anger, hatred and bitterness — is easier.(在危机时刻 —— 愤怒、仇恨与痛苦交织之际 —— 心怀感恩反而更为难得。)”可知，当你在困难时期得到帮助时，更容易感到感恩。故选C。 【64题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“Expressing gratitude shouldn’t be a reaction; it should be state of mind. (表达感恩不应该是种反应；它应该是一种心态)”以及Emmons鼓励读者写感恩日记、随时随地培养感恩心态的建议，可推知Emmons的观点是无论何时何地都要记得感恩。故选C。 【65题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第三段“To enable and embrace gratitude, Emmons encourages the readers of Thanks! to keep a gratitude diary.(为了使感恩成为可能并拥抱感恩，Emmons鼓励Thanks!的读者写感恩日记)”可知，Emmons认为人们可以通过写感恩日记来表达感恩。故选A。 D Technology is never a neutral tool for achieving human ends. Technological innovations reshape people as they use these innovations to control their environment. Artificial intelligence, for example, is altering humanity. While the term AI brings to mind anxieties about killer robots or disastrous levels of unemployment, there are other, deeper consequences. As AI increasingly shapes the human experience, how does this change what it means to be human? Central to the problem is a person’s capacity to make choices, particularly judgments that have moral consequences. Aristotle argued that the capacity for making practical judgments depends on regularly making them — on habit and practice. We see the emergence of machines as substitute judges in a variety of everyday contexts as a potential threat to people learning how to effectively exercise judgment themselves. In the workplace, managers routinely make decisions about who to hire or fire and which loan to approve, to name a few. These are areas where algorithmic (算法的) principle is replacing human judgment, and so people who might have had the chance to develop practical judgment in these areas no longer will. Recommendation engines, which are increasingly popular media in people’s consumption of culture, may serve to restrict choice and minimize luck. By presenting consumers with algorithmically selected choices of what to watch, read, stream and visit next, companies are replacing human taste with machine taste. As machine learning algorithms improve and as they train on greater data sets, larger parts of everyday life are likely to become completely predictable. The predictions are going to get better and better, and they will ultimately make common experiences more efficient and pleasant. But to the extent that unpredictability is part of how people understand themselves and part of what people like about themselves, humanity is in the process of losing something significant. As they become more and more predictable, the creatures living in the increasingly AI-mediated world will become less and less like us. 66. What do we learn about the deeper consequences of AI? A. It is causing disastrous levels of unemployment. B. It is doing physical harm to human operators. C. It is altering moral judgments. D. It is reshaping humanity. 67. What is the result of algorithmic principle replacing human judgment? A. People lose the chance to develop the ability to make practical judgments. B. People are prevented from participating in making major decisions in the workplace. C. Managers no longer have the chance to decide which loan to approve. D. Managers do not need to take the trouble to determine who to hire or fire. 68. What may result from increasing application of recommendation engines in our consumption of culture? A. Consumers will have much limited choice. B. Consumers will actually enjoy better luck. C. It will be easier to decide on what to enjoy. D. Humans will develop tastes similar to machines’. 69. What is likely to happen to larger parts of our daily life as machine learning algorithms improve? A. They will turn out to be more pleasant. B. They will repeat our past experiences. C. They can be completely foreseen. D. They may become better and better. 70. Why does the author say the creatures living in the more and more AI-mediated world will become increasingly unlike us? A. They will have lost the most significant element of being intelligent. B. They will no longer possess the human characteristic of being unpredictable. C. They will not be able to understand themselves as we can do today. D. They will be taken away what their ancestors were proud of about themselves. 【答案】66. D 67. A 68. A 69. C 70. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要探讨了人工智能如何改变人类的生活，尤其是对人类决策能力和不可预测性的潜在影响。 【66题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Artificial intelligence, for example, is altering humanity. (例如，人工智能正在改变人类)”以及第二段中“While the term AI brings to mind anxieties about killer robots or disastrous levels of unemployment, there are other, deeper consequences. As AI increasingly shapes the human experience, how does this change what it means to be human? (虽然人工智能这个词会让人联想到对杀人机器人或灾难性失业水平的担忧，但还有其他更深层次的后果。随着人工智能越来越多地塑造人类体验，这如何改变人类的意义？)”可知，人工智能除了会带来一些人们普遍担忧的后果（如失业等）外，更重要的是它正在重塑人类。故选D。 【67题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“These are areas where algorithmic (算法的) principle is replacing human judgment, and so people who might have had the chance to develop practical judgment in these areas no longer will. (在这些领域，算法原则正在取代人类的判断，因此那些原本可能有机会在这些领域发展实际判断能力的人将不再有机会)”可知，算法原则取代人类判断导致人们失去了发展实际判断能力的机会。故选A。 【68题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“Recommendation engines, which are increasingly popular media in people’s consumption of culture, may serve to restrict choice and minimize luck. (推荐引擎在人们文化消费中越来越受欢迎，但它可能会限制选择，减少运气成分)”可知，随着推荐引擎在文化消费中的广泛应用，消费者的选择可能会受到限制。故选A。 【69题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段“As machine learning algorithms improve and as they train on greater data sets, larger parts of everyday life are likely to become completely predictable. The predictions are going to get better and better, and they will ultimately make common experiences more efficient and pleasant. (随着机器学习算法的改进，以及它们在更大数据集上的训练，日常生活的更大一部分可能会变得完全可预测。预测会越来越准确，最终会让人们的共同体验更加高效和愉快)”可知，随着机器学习算法的改进，日常生活的大部分可能会变得完全可预测。故选C。 【70题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“But to the extent that unpredictability is part of how people understand themselves and part of what people like about themselves, humanity is in the process of losing something significant. As they become more and more predictable, the creatures living in the increasingly AI-mediated world will become less and less like us. (但是，在不可预测性是人们理解自己和喜欢自己的方式的一部分的程度上，人类正在失去一些重要的东西。随着它们变得越来越可预测，生活在日益由人工智能主导的世界中的生物将变得越来越不像我们)”可推知，作者认为不可预测性是人类自我理解和自我喜爱的一部分，而随着人工智能的发展，人们的生活变得越来越可预测，因此生活在由人工智能主导的世界中的生物将变得越来越不像人类。即人工智能的发展导致人类生活变得越来越可预测，从而失去了不可预测性这一人类特性。故选B。 五、阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） Nothing succeeds like confidence. When you are truly confident, it radiates from you like sunlight, and attracts success to you like a magnet (磁铁). Besides, those who are self-confident can in turn inspire confidence in others: their audience, their peers, their bosses, their customers, and their friends. And gaining the confidence of others is one of the key ways in which a self-confident person finds success. So how can we build a sense of self-confidence and prepare ourselves on the way to success? First, do what you believe to be right, even if others mock or criticize you for it. Believe in yourself and believe that you can do it under any circumstances. The belief keeps you searching for answers, which means that pretty soon you will get them. Second, be willing to take risks by going the extra miles to achieve better results. In this case, mistakes cannot be avoided. But don’t hesitate to admit your mistakes, and learn from them. Next, work hard to settle the problems in order to cover up your mistakes before anyone notices. Building self-confidence is readily achievable, as long as you have the determination to carry things through. And what’s even better is that the things you’ll d to build self-confidence will also build success — after all, your confidence will come from real, solid achievement. As you sow, sow will reap. With your perseverance and improvement, you are getting closer to success. At this stage, wait for others to congratulate you on your accomplishments and compliments graciously, which will promote you to gain further success. Self-confidence is extremely important in almost every aspect of our lives, and it is no wonder that so many people struggle to find it. Self-confidence really can be learned and built on. Besides, whether you’re working on your own self-confidence or building the confidence of people around you, it’s well worth the effort! 71. What do you think may be the best title for this passage?

In this case, mistakes cannot be avoided.(第二，愿意多付出努力去冒险以取得更好的结果。在这种情况下，错误是无法避免的)”可知，想要取得更好结果可能会犯错误。故答案为：Mistakes cannot be avoided. 【74题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第六段中“With your perseverance and improvement, you are getting closer to success. At this stage, wait for others to congratulate you on your accomplishments and compliments graciously, which will promote you to gain further success.(有了你的坚持和进步，你正一步步接近成功。在这个阶段，等待他人亲切地祝贺你的成就并接受他们的赞美，这会促使你获得更大的成功)”可知，成功后会得到别人的祝贺和赞美。故答案为：Others’ congratulations and compliments. 【75题详解】 考查开放表达。可以结合文中建立自信的方法，如相信自己、勇于尝试等，比如可以说在学习中相信自己能解决难题，勇于挑战难题。故答案为：I’ll believe I can solve difficult problems and dare to take on challenges in my studies. 六、书面表达（25分） 76. 青少年研究专家Susan Taylor在自己的英文网站上开辟专栏，邀请大家分享心目中的“最好礼物”。她认为，礼物贵在心意，应为之付出时间和精力。假设你是李津，请用英文发帖，内容要点包括： (1)赞同Susan的看法； (2)描述你收到或送出的最好礼物； (3)该礼物的意义。 注意：1.词数100左右；2.可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 Li Jin, China Reply to Susan Taylor Posted on Dec.23rd 2022, 10:00 a.m. I’m Li Jin, a high school student from China.________ 此处不能答题 I’m Li Jin, a high school student from China. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】I’m Li Jin, a high school student from China. As for your view on gifts, I cannot agree more. Here is my own experience. The best gift I’ve received is my English teacher's New Year's card. On opening the card reading “My dear, just believe in yourself and you'll make it!”, a sense of warmth crowded into my heart. For me, it's more than a card but the trust she gave me. She believes I can, therefore, I really manage to do it. I know that it's not the present but the thought that counts. That card reflected her concern which I’ll save forever.

Therefore, the organisers have done well to ensure there are changing rooms and showers available for all runners. racebest.com ● Winter Solstice Strider, 8 December Dig that head flashlight out of the messy drawer for this after-dark run or walk for a good cause. You have a 5K route, which winds through the forest at the St Ives Estate. The route is far from flat and will almost certainly be muddy in places, so make sure your batteries are well charged in case there are emergencies.sueryder.org ● The Christmas Charity Run, 21 December This event is run by a most environmentally conscious organiser in the country, and is therefore only open to local runners to reduce car travel. Another great feature is that £7.50 of the £10 entry fee goes straight to a local charity that supports people with cancer, making this one of the most positive-impact events that you could possibly find. eventrac.co.uk ● Mapledurham 10& Half, 29 December Mapledurham events are always well organised and, with unpleasant weather likely, you’ll have to deal with some mud on the various uphills and downhills on whichever of the 10K, 10-mile or half-marathon courses you choose. The organisers have prioritised finding a good route over precise measurements, so all three races have a rather loose relationship with their stated distance. mstevents.co.uk 51. Which website offers information for night run participants? A. sueryder. org B. racebest. com C. eventrac. co. uk D. mstevents. co. uk 52. What makes the Mapledurham events unique? A. Eco-friendly goals. B. Flexible race distances. C. Strong charity focus. D. Muddy running courses. 53. Which column of a magazine is the text probably from? A. Tech Trends. B. Athlete Profiles. C. News Insight. D. Race Guide. 54. What do we know about the four events? A. All of them charge an entry fee. B. Runners may meet muddy conditions in most of them. C. They all provide changing rooms and showers. D. Each event has several choices of race distance. 55. What is the main purpose of the text? A. To call on people to donate to cancer charities. B. To compare different outdoor sports in the UK. C. To introduce several winter running events for choice. D. To give advice on preparing for difficult running races. B Nicola Tesla was born on 10th July 1856 in Croatia. From a very young age, Tesla was interested in electricity. In 1881 Tesla moved to Budapest and got a job. It was there that Tesla first thought of the idea of the alternating current (交流电) (AC). In 1884, Tesla moved to America and worked for Thomas Edison. But Tesla worked for Edison for less than a year. Tesla was sure his AC motor was the best way to capture and transport the power of electricity. However, Edison thought his way of using direct current (DC) was better and considered AC unsafe. But soon the scientific community accepted AC was more powerful than DC and it was proved safe. In 1895, Tesla designed the first water power plant using the energy of the Niagara Falls. And he did it using the AC motor. After the success of AC, Tesla became well known. He travelled and spoke to many scientists about his inventions and ideas. He built a large laboratory. However, it burned down not long after it was built. As Tesla got older, he continued to come up with new ideas and theories. But he was less successful and famous. Many people didn’t recognize that particular inventions were really Tesla’s ideas. Tesla gave speeches about creating electrical power from the earth’s atmosphere. He also talked about ways that wireless electricity and communication could power things all over the world. But to the people of his time, these ideas sounded crazy. However, some of his ideas have now been supported by modern research and technology. Tesla’s last years were lonely and sad. He received many awards, but received very little money. When he died in 1943, he was no longer famous and felt forgotten. Today, not many people know the name of Nicola Tesla but his inventions and ideas affect our lives every day! 56. Why did Tesla stop working for Edison? A. Tesla was badly paid there. B. They had some disagreements. C. They had very different characters. D. Tesla wanted to move back to Europe. 57. Which of the following is the correct order about Tesla’s life experiences? a．Tesla’s lab burned down. b．Tesla worked for Edison. c．Tesla built a water power plant. d．Tesla moved to Budapest. A. d-b-c-a. B. d-b-a-c. C. b-d-c-a. D. b-c-d-a. 58. In his later years, Tesla ______. A. lived a colorful life B. was misunderstood and doubted C. was unable to think out new ideas D. earned a lot as an award-winning inventor 59. What can we learn from the text? A. Tesla became famous as an assistant to Edison. B. Tesla was way ahead of modern technology. C. Tesla had great interest in travelling. D. Tesla was not good at speeches. 60. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Nicola Tesla, a challenger for difficulties B. Nicola Tesla, a dreamer in science C. Nicola Tesla, a forgotten inventor D. Nicola Tesla, a strange scientist C Mom was right! If you say thank you, for even the smallest gift or slightest show of kindness, you’ll feel happy. Gratitude (感激), says Robert A. Emmons, a professor of psychology at the University of California, is an important element of happiness. In his recent book, Thanks!, Emmons uses the first major study on gratitude to prove mom’s point. In acknowledging and developing this much-ignored expression of thankfulness, he explains how people have benefited — even improved their health. As one of the leading scholars of the positive psychology movement, he admits gratitude may be difficult to express. He advises you to begin by admitting that life is good and full of events and elements that make daily existence a wonder. Second, recognize that the source of life’s goodness is more than just you. That source may be your mom, a friend, partner, child, colleague at work or play, or any combination of these. Gratitude is always other-directed, notes Emmons. You can be pleased or angry with yourself and feel guilty about doing something wrong, but you can never be grateful to or for yourself. Expressing gratitude shouldn’t be a reaction; it should be state of mind. To feel grateful when life is a breeze and you have more than you need is easy. To feel grateful in time of crisis — anger, hatred and bitterness — is easier. Also, too many people are aware of life’s blessings only after these are lost. The voices expressing gratitude from his studies of individuals are many. It’s crisis and chaos — danger, disease, disability and death — that bring many individuals to realize just how dependent they are on others. Yet it’s the way each of us begins life and ends it. It’s too bad that so many people waste those decades in between laboring under the illusion (幻觉) that they are self-sufficient (自给自足的), says Emmons. To enable and embrace gratitude, Emmons encourages the readers of Thanks! to keep a gratitude diary. He even provides easy-to-follow directions on how to practice and develop gratitude. I’m not a reader or advocate of self-help books, but I am thankful for the reference I found in a newspaper article to the research Emmons was conducting on gratitude involving organ donors and recipients (接受者). The chance discovery led me to this book. Mom implied that kindness seems to find its way back to the giver because life really is all about giving, receiving and repaying. So, I’ll pay attention to her professional advice and say: Thank you, Professor Emmons. 61. What does the text mainly discuss? A. There are many ways of being thankful. B. Gratitude is important to happiness. C. Mom is great for her being thankful. D. Being thankful will keep you fit. 62. The author mentions Robert Emmons’ book Thanks! in order to prove that ______. A. Professor Emmons supports mom’s study on psychology. B. mom is as great a psychologist as Professor Emmons C. Professor Emmons is a famous psychologist D. mom is right about her viewpoint on gratitude 63. It will be easier for you to feel grateful when ______. A. you live a comfortable life B. you receive gifts on your birthday C. you get help during your hard times D. you are congratulated on your success 64. What is the opinion of Professor Emmons? A. It is enough to thank others orally. B. Whether you are thankful is always up to you. C. Remember to be thankful anytime and anywhere D. It is easier to be thankful for yourself than for others 65. According to Emmons, people can express gratitude by _______. A. keeping a gratitude diary B. reading self-help books C. feeling self-sufficient D. remaining dependent on others D Technology is never a neutral tool for achieving human ends. Technological innovations reshape people as they use these innovations to control their environment. Artificial intelligence, for example, is altering humanity. While the term AI brings to mind anxieties about killer robots or disastrous levels of unemployment, there are other, deeper consequences. As AI increasingly shapes the human experience, how does this change what it means to be human? Central to the problem is a person’s capacity to make choices, particularly judgments that have moral consequences. Aristotle argued that the capacity for making practical judgments depends on regularly making them — on habit and practice. We see the emergence of machines as substitute judges in a variety of everyday contexts as a potential threat to people learning how to effectively exercise judgment themselves. In the workplace, managers routinely make decisions about who to hire or fire and which loan to approve, to name a few. These are areas where algorithmic (算法的) principle is replacing human judgment, and so people who might have had the chance to develop practical judgment in these areas no longer will. Recommendation engines, which are increasingly popular media in people’s consumption of culture, may serve to restrict choice and minimize luck. By presenting consumers with algorithmically selected choices of what to watch, read, stream and visit next, companies are replacing human taste with machine taste. As machine learning algorithms improve and as they train on greater data sets, larger parts of everyday life are likely to become completely predictable. The predictions are going to get better and better, and they will ultimately make common experiences more efficient and pleasant. But to the extent that unpredictability is part of how people understand themselves and part of what people like about themselves, humanity is in the process of losing something significant. As they become more and more predictable, the creatures living in the increasingly AI-mediated world will become less and less like us. 66. What do we learn about the deeper consequences of AI? A. It is causing disastrous levels of unemployment. B. It is doing physical harm to human operators. C. It is altering moral judgments. D. It is reshaping humanity. 67. What is the result of algorithmic principle replacing human judgment? A. People lose the chance to develop the ability to make practical judgments. B. People are prevented from participating in making major decisions in the workplace. C. Managers no longer have the chance to decide which loan to approve. D. Managers do not need to take the trouble to determine who to hire or fire. 68. What may result from increasing application of recommendation engines in our consumption of culture? A. Consumers will have much limited choice. B. Consumers will actually enjoy better luck. C. It will be easier to decide on what to enjoy. D. Humans will develop tastes similar to machines’. 69. What is likely to happen to larger parts of our daily life as machine learning algorithms improve? A. They will turn out to be more pleasant. B. They will repeat our past experiences. C. They can be completely foreseen. D. They may become better and better. 70. Why does the author say the creatures living in the more and more AI-mediated world will become increasingly unlike us? A. They will have lost the most significant element of being intelligent. B. They will no longer possess the human characteristic of being unpredictable. C. They will not be able to understand themselves as we can do today. D. They will be taken away what their ancestors were proud of about themselves. 五、阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） Nothing succeeds like confidence. When you are truly confident, it radiates from you like sunlight, and attracts success to you like a magnet (磁铁). Besides, those who are self-confident can in turn inspire confidence in others: their audience, their peers, their bosses, their customers, and their friends. And gaining the confidence of others is one of the key ways in which a self-confident person finds success. So how can we build a sense of self-confidence and prepare ourselves on the way to success? First, do what you believe to be right, even if others mock or criticize you for it. Believe in yourself and believe that you can do it under any circumstances. The belief keeps you searching for answers, which means that pretty soon you will get them. Second, be willing to take risks by going the extra miles to achieve better results. In this case, mistakes cannot be avoided. But don’t hesitate to admit your mistakes, and learn from them. Next, work hard to settle the problems in order to cover up your mistakes before anyone notices. Building self-confidence is readily achievable, as long as you have the determination to carry things through. And what’s even better is that the things you’ll d to build self-confidence will also build success — after all, your confidence will come from real, solid achievement. As you sow, sow will reap. With your perseverance and improvement, you are getting closer to success. At this stage, wait for others to congratulate you on your accomplishments and compliments graciously, which will promote you to gain further success. Self-confidence is extremely important in almost every aspect of our lives, and it is no wonder that so many people struggle to find it. Self-confidence really can be learned and built on. Besides, whether you’re working on your own self-confidence or building the confidence of people around you, it’s well worth the effort! 71. What do you think may be the best title for this passage?
