To the Apple community:
For the past 15 years, I have started almost every morning the same way. I open my email and read the notes I received the day before from Apple users around the world. You share small pieces of your lives with me and tell me how Apple has touched you. You talk about the moment your mom was saved by her Apple Watch, or the perfect selfie you took on the top of a mountain that seemed impossible to climb. You thank me for how Mac has changed your work, and sometimes you get a little upset when something you care about doesn’t work as it should.
In every one of those emails, I feel the beating heart of our shared humanity. I feel a growing sense of duty to work harder and push further. But most of all, I feel a deep gratitude that I cannot put into words. I feel lucky to be the person on the other end of those emails — the leader of a company that fires up imagination and makes lives better in ways that are hard to describe. What an honor and privilege it has been.
Today we announced that I will be taking the next step in my journey at Apple. Over the coming months, I will move into a new role, leaving the CEO job behind in September and becoming Apple’s executive chairman. A new person will step into what I truly believe is the best job in the world. That leader is John Ternus, a talented engineer and thinker. Over the past 25 years, he has been building the Apple products our users love so much, paying close attention to every detail and always thinking about how we can make things better, bolder, more beautiful, and more meaningful. He is the perfect person for the job.
John cares deeply about who we are at Apple, what we do, and who we reach. He has the heart and character to lead with great integrity. I am so proud to call him Apple’s next CEO. This company will reach amazing heights under his leadership, and you will feel his impact in every bit of joy and discovery that comes from our future products.
This is not goodbye. But at this moment of change, I want to say thank you. Not on behalf of the company this time, but simply on my own behalf — Tim. A person who grew up in a small, rural place in a different time and, for these magical years, got to be part of something much bigger.
Thank you!
Tim Cook

In recent years, AI has developed at a speedy pace and changed many areas of our life. The music industry is one of them. Today, AI can do a lot of work for music. It can write songs, create melodies and make simple music in a short time.
Some musicians are in favor of this new technology. AI enables them to boost their working efficiency and create new pieces of music. For example, a singer can adopt AI to make a basic beat first. Then they add their own lyrics and feelings or epiphany to the music. In this way, AI becomes a helpful tool for them.
However, other musicians are worried. They claim AI music may take away their jobs. They believe real music comes from human stories, personal experiences and emotions or feelings, which also reflects their outlook on life and the world. Real music can cure people’s broken hearts and remedy their soul. Or at least real human music can fulfill their inner heart. In this way, machines can never truly understand the essence behind the music, creating robotic music. What’s more, people don’t know who owns the copyright of AI-made songs, due to which some conflicts about the issue of copyright will happen in the near future.
Although there are worries, AI is already around us. It is changing how people make, sell and listen to music. Many music industry leaders believe that humans and AI should work together. If we use AI in a right way, it will help us make better music for the world.
8. What can AI do in the music industry according to the passage?
A. Help cure people’s broken hearts. B. Write songs and create melodies.
C. Understand the essence of music. D. Solve the copyright problems.
9. Some musicians are in favor of AI because ________.
A. it can improve their work efficiency
B. it can bring in more money for them
C. it takes the place of human musicians
D. it can create music completely on its own
10. Which of the following is one reason why some musicians worry about AI?
A. AI music lacks real human emotions.
B. AI music is too expensive to make.
C. AI makes music production slower.
D. AI can hardly make simple music.
11. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. AI has replaced human musicians completely.
B. People hold different opinions on AI in music.
C. Real music can no longer satisfy listeners.
D. Copyright issue is the only problem of AI music.
D
It is no surprise that the English language contains such a wide variety of expressions and phrases including dogs, which have been constant partners with people for thousands of years. The observations of dog behaviors have inspired us to take their individual characteristics into our language.
Did your roommates make a terrible mess of the dorm room while you were gone? You could describe this terrible state as “a dog’s breakfast”. This British phrase means a disorganized state of things or a bad mix of different things. It appeared during a time when people would feed their dogs leftovers from last night’s dinner or other food items they happened to have on hand for breakfast. The phrase creates such a powerful scene showing a complete mess if you truly picture it. Interestingly, the phrase “dressed like a dog’s dinner” is quite different — “someone who is overdressed or improperly dressed”.
You would be “barking up the wrong tree” if you are following a mistaken or misguided thought or action. This term dates back to the hunt of raccoon (浣熊) with the help of dogs. From time to time, a raccoon fools the dogs, which crowd around a tree, barking loudly, not realizing the quarry has taken a different way.
Many people even describe the weather by using the image of dogs. The “dog days”, dating back to ancient Rome, refers to the hottest days of the year in which we feel lazy or unable to make great efforts. It was the Romans who first noticed that the burning heat of the summer seemed to come with the appearance of Sirius, the so-called “dog star”, which was a part of the Canis Major (“big dog”) constellation (星座). But even the coldest nights have interesting idioms (习惯用语) and history with them. One Australian idiom describes the practice of sleeping alongside a dog for warmth during cold evenings — a very cold night might need more than one dog, so it is a “three-dog night”.
While dog-related idioms are common in use in many people’s everyday language today, the stories and history behind the idioms may lead us onto a new exciting journey of exploration.
12. Why are there a large number of dog-related idioms in English?
A. People summarized the ways dogs cooperate with humans.
B. People’s constant observation of dogs inspired the idioms.
C. Dogs are animals with special features favored by humans.
D. Dogs’ characteristics are the main source of English idioms.
13. Which of the following may be described as “a dog’s breakfast”?
A. A delicious meal. B. A messy kitchen.
C. An unsatisfactory ending. D. An improperly-dressed person.
14. What does the underlined word “quarry” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A. The raccoon. B. The tree. C. The hunter. D. The master.
15. What was the origin of the idiom “dog days”?
A. Dogs liked to hang out in summer.
B. The heat in summer got dogs barking.
C. Dogs were Romans’ favourite animal partners.
D. A star with “dog” in its name appeared at this time.

In recent years, AI has developed at a speedy pace and changed many areas of our life. The music industry is one of them. Today, AI can do a lot of work for music. It can write songs, create melodies and make simple music in a short time.
Some musicians are in favor of this new technology. AI enables them to boost their working efficiency and create new pieces of music. For example, a singer can adopt AI to make a basic beat first. Then they add their own lyrics and feelings or epiphany to the music. In this way, AI becomes a helpful tool for them.
However, other musicians are worried. They claim AI music may take away their jobs. They believe real music comes from human stories, personal experiences and emotions or feelings, which also reflects their outlook on life and the world. Real music can cure people’s broken hearts and remedy their soul. Or at least real human music can fulfill their inner heart. In this way, machines can never truly understand the essence behind the music, creating robotic music. What’s more, people don’t know who owns the copyright of AI-made songs, due to which some conflicts about the issue of copyright will happen in the near future.
Although there are worries, AI is already around us. It is changing how people make, sell and listen to music. Many music industry leaders believe that humans and AI should work together. If we use AI in a right way, it will help us make better music for the world.
8. What can AI do in the music industry according to the passage?
A. Help cure people’s broken hearts. B. Write songs and create melodies.
C. Understand the essence of music. D. Solve the copyright problems.
9. Some musicians are in favor of AI because ________.
A. it can improve their work efficiency
B. it can bring in more money for them
C. it takes the place of human musicians
D. it can create music completely on its own
10. Which of the following is one reason why some musicians worry about AI?
A. AI music lacks real human emotions.
B. AI music is too expensive to make.
C. AI makes music production slower.
D. AI can hardly make simple music.
11. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. AI has replaced human musicians completely.
B. People hold different opinions on AI in music.
C. Real music can no longer satisfy listeners.
D. Copyright issue is the only problem of AI music.

It is no surprise that the English language contains such a wide variety of expressions and phrases including dogs, which have been constant partners with people for thousands of years. The observations of dog behaviors have inspired us to take their individual characteristics into our language.
Did your roommates make a terrible mess of the dorm room while you were gone? You could describe this terrible state as “a dog’s breakfast”. This British phrase means a disorganized state of things or a bad mix of different things. It appeared during a time when people would feed their dogs leftovers from last night’s dinner or other food items they happened to have on hand for breakfast. The phrase creates such a powerful scene showing a complete mess if you truly picture it. Interestingly, the phrase “dressed like a dog’s dinner” is quite different — “someone who is overdressed or improperly dressed”.
You would be “barking up the wrong tree” if you are following a mistaken or misguided thought or action. This term dates back to the hunt of raccoon (浣熊) with the help of dogs. From time to time, a raccoon fools the dogs, which crowd around a tree, barking loudly, not realizing the quarry has taken a different way.
Many people even describe the weather by using the image of dogs. The “dog days”, dating back to ancient Rome, refers to the hottest days of the year in which we feel lazy or unable to make great efforts. It was the Romans who first noticed that the burning heat of the summer seemed to come with the appearance of Sirius, the so-called “dog star”, which was a part of the Canis Major (“big dog”) constellation (星座). But even the coldest nights have interesting idioms (习惯用语) and history with them. One Australian idiom describes the practice of sleeping alongside a dog for warmth during cold evenings — a very cold night might need more than one dog, so it is a “three-dog night”.
While dog-related idioms are common in use in many people’s everyday language today, the stories and history behind the idioms may lead us onto a new exciting journey of exploration.
12. Why are there a large number of dog-related idioms in English?
A. People summarized the ways dogs cooperate with humans.
B. People’s constant observation of dogs inspired the idioms.
C. Dogs are animals with special features favored by humans.
D. Dogs’ characteristics are the main source of English idioms.
13. Which of the following may be described as “a dog’s breakfast”?
A. A delicious meal. B. A messy kitchen.
C. An unsatisfactory ending. D. An improperly-dressed person.
14. What does the underlined word “quarry” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A. The raccoon. B. The tree. C. The hunter. D. The master.
15. What was the origin of the idiom “dog days”?
A. Dogs liked to hang out in summer.
B. The heat in summer got dogs barking.
C. Dogs were Romans’ favourite animal partners.
D. A star with “dog” in its name appeared at this time.
【答案】12. B 13. B 14. A 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了英语中存在大量与狗相关的习语,以及这些习语背后的故事和历史,展现了人们对狗行为的观察如何启发了这些习语的产生。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“The observations of dog behaviors have inspired us to take their individual characteristics into our language. (对狗行为的观察启发我们将它们的个性特征融入我们的语言中。)”可知,人们对狗的不断观察启发了这些与狗相关的习语。故选B项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Did your roommates make a terrible mess of the dorm room while you were gone? You could describe this terrible state as “a dog’s breakfast”. This British phrase means a disorganized state of things or a bad mix of different things. (你不在的时候,你的室友把宿舍弄得一团糟吗?你可以把这种糟糕的状态描述为“狗的早餐”。这个英国短语意思是事情杂乱无章,或者不同事物的糟糕混合。)”可知,“a dog’s breakfast”指的是杂乱无章的状态,选项B“一个杂乱的厨房”符合这一描述。故选B项。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段“You would be “barking up the wrong tree” if you are following a mistaken or misguided thought or action. This term dates back to the hunt of raccoon (浣熊) with the help of dogs. From time to time, a raccoon fools the dogs, which crowd around a tree, barking loudly, not realizing the quarry has taken a different way. (如果你遵循错误或误导性的想法或行动,那你就是“找错对象了”。这个术语可以追溯到在狗的帮助下猎浣熊。时不时地,浣熊会愚弄狗,狗会围着一棵树大声吠叫,却没有意识到 已经走了另一条路。)”可知,此处在描述猎浣熊的场景,狗围着树叫,却没意识到猎物走了另一条路,这里的“quarry”指的就是被猎捕的“浣熊”。故选A项。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“The “dog days”, dating back to ancient Rome, refers to the hottest days of the year in which we feel lazy or unable to make great efforts. It was the Romans who first noticed that the burning heat of the summer seemed to come with the appearance of Sirius, the so-called “dog star”, which was a part of the Canis Major (“big dog”) constellation (星座). (“三伏天”可以追溯到古罗马,指的是一年中最热的日子,在这些日子里我们会感到懒惰或无法付出很大的努力。是罗马人首先注意到,夏天的酷热似乎随着天狼星的出现而到来,天狼星被称为“狗星”,是大犬座(“大狗”)星座的一部分。)”可知,“三伏天”这个习语的起源是一颗名字中有“狗”的星星在这个时候出现。故选D项。
