Here are five things you should not give as a Chinese New Year gift. Wallet—Loss of fortune In traditional Chinese culture, giving a wallet as a gift means giving away all your money and you might lose all your finances (财源) and luck. However, it is no problem to give a wallet to your family member who already shares your financial accounts and money. Handkerchiefs—Saying goodbye forever People generally give handkerchiefs at the end of a funeral (葬礼). Handkerchiefs are a symbol of saying goodbye forever. Giving someone a gift like this insinuates you are saying goodbye forever. Umbrellas—Break up Umbrellas are a bad idea to give as gifts, because the Chinese word for “umbrella” sounds like the word for “breaking up”. Giving somebody an umbrella may insinuate that you feel your relationship has fallen apart. Sharp objects—Cut off relationship Giving anything sharp, such as a knife or scissors, is also a bad idea, as it’s thought to cut off the relationship. A common Chinese saying “one cut and it is in two parts” means the end of a relationship between people. Shoes—Evil (邪恶) Shoes are a bad idea as a present for Chinese New Year because the Chinese word for “shoes” sounds exactly like a word for bad luck or “evil”. On top of that, shoes are something that you step on, and they are considered as derogatory (贬义的) gifts. 16. Why can’t you give a wallet as a gift during the Spring Festival in China? A. Because it is too expensive to buy a wallet. B. Because it is a symbol of saying goodbye forever. C. Because your family members won’t let you do that. D. Because it means that you may give away all your money and luck. 17. The meaning of the underlined word “insinuates” is close to “________”. A. finds B. warns C. suggests D. decides 18. Giving an umbrella as a Chinese New Year gift is impolite because it means ________. A. you will break up with him/her B. you are saying goodbye forever to him/her C. you will develop a relationship with him/her D. you don’t want to share something with him/her 19. Why can’t shoes be given as a Chinese New Year gift according to the passage? ①Because shoes are hard to match with a person’s feet. ②Because shoes are often seen as derogatory gifts in Chinese culture. ③Because “giving shoes” stands for giving bad luck in Chinese culture. ④Because the sound of “shoes” in Chinese is similar to the sound of “evil”. A. ①②③ B. ②③④ C. ①③④ D. ①②③④ 20. What can we infer from the passage? A. Rome was not built in a day. B. No man is wise at all times. (聪明一世，糊涂一时) C. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. (入乡随俗) D. Respect yourself, or no one else will respect you. B Zhou Chu was a great general in the Jin Dynasty, ancient China. However, he used to do many bad things in his village. When he was young, Zhou was very tall and strong. He behaved very badly and always bullied (欺凌) the villagers. At that time, the villagers thought there were “three scourges (祸害)”—the man-eating tiger in the southern mountain, the dragon under the water and Zhou Chu. They always ran away as soon as they saw Zhou Chu. After knowing about that, Zhou decided to help them kill the tiger and the dragon. ________ Finally, after three days and nights, he made it. On the fourth day, Zhou Chu came back to the village, thinking that he would be a hero. But everyone was happy, singing and dancing, because they thought that all “three scourges” were gone forever. But when they saw him coming back, they all felt disappointed (失望). He felt sad and went to a wise and learned man called Lu Yun for help. He said, “I used to do many bad things and waste most of my time. Now I have realized my mistakes. I want to correct them and be a better man, but I’m afraid it’s too late.” Lu Yun told him, “Don’t worry. You have such a great determination (决心), so there is hope for your future.” From then on, Zhou Chu studied hard under Lu Yun’s teaching. In the end, he got popular in his village and became a brave and great general. People in the village were proud of him. 21. What isn’t about three scourges? A. The man-eating tiger. B. Zhou Chu C. The dragon under the water. D. The man-eating lion. 22. Which of the following can be put in the “________” in Paragraph 2? A. But he was afraid of losing his life. B. He tried his best to fight against them. C. The villagers didn’t believe their eyes. D. The villagers hoped Zhou could help them. 23. What does the underlined word “them” refer to? A. The “three scourges” B. The villages. C. The mistakes. D. The good things. 24. Which is the right order about the changing of people’s feelings when they saw or heard Zhou Chu? A. afraid→ unhappy→ proud→ disappointed B. happy→ afraid→ disappointed→ proud C. disappointed→ proud→ happy→ afraid D. afraid→ happy→ disappointed→ proud 25. What is the main idea of the story? A. It’s never too late to give up evil and return to good. B. Everyone should do good things from a young age. C. Usually a wise and learned man can be our teacher. D. We shouldn’t judge a person from his or her clothes. C Artificial intelligence AI (人工智能) is good for humans in many ways. It will make everyday tasks easier and bring efficiency (效率) to many industries (行业). It might be one of man’s greatest inventions. And yet, like any other technology, AI will also bring risks. In February 2018, a group of AI experts (专家) got together to discuss the possible disadvantages (缺点) of AI. What they found was that “Every AI developed by the good persons is also helpful for the bad ones, too.” according to Quartz. Their biggest worry was that the bad people could use AI for bad things. One of the areas they looked at was the use of AI to create websites that could be used to steal people’s personal information. Another possibility is that AI programs could be used to hack software (软件) and break into computer secure systems (安全系统). There are some other worries as well. It is possible that AI could be used to create fake (伪造的) images and videos. Baidu, in fact, has developed a program called Deep Voice that can “clone” (克隆) anyone’s voice by studying a 3-7-second audio sample (音频样本). Many leading people have expressed worries about AI. People like Bill Gates and Elon Musk have called for the industry to be more strictly controlled, as there are few laws right now on the use of AI. However, this is set to change. In March 2018, the European Union plans to set up a group that will discuss the moral and ethical (伦理道德的) dangers of AI, and it will help to keep it safe for humans. 26. ________ might be one of man’s greatest inventions according to the passage. A. Many industries B. AI C. Baidu D. Clone 27. The underlined word “hack” in Paragraph 3 means ________ in Chinese. A. 保护 B. 对比 C. 入侵 D. 学习 28. The program Deep Voice can be used for ________. A. protecting computer secure systems B. stealing people’s personal information C. controlling all the industry D. cloning people’s voice 29. ________ have called for the AI industry to be more strictly controlled. A. Bill Gates and Elon Musk B. The European Union C. A group of AI experts D. All of the mankind (人类) 30. What does this passage mainly talk about? A. The benefits (益处) of artificial intelligence. B. How to use artificial intelligence. C. People’s worries about artificial intelligence. D. The future of artificial intelligence. 第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读短文，从下面所列选项中，选出最佳选项填入对应空白处，使短文通顺连贯。 （选项中有一项多余） Asking for something politely is important in our daily life.
