A
By the end of the year, editors of New York Times have picked the 4 best books of
2019, including fiction and non-fiction. Let’s see which one will take your fancy.
Disappearing Earth
By Julia Phillips
In the first chapter of this novel, two young girls vanish, sending shock
waves through a town on the edge of the remote and mysterious Kamchatka
Peninsula. What follows is a novel of overlapping short stories about the different
women who have been affected by their disappearance. Each tale pushes the narrative
forward another month and exposes the ways in which the women of Kamchatka have
been destroyed — personally, culturally and emotionally — by the crime.
No Visible Bruises
By Rachel Louise Snyder
Snyder’s thoroughly reported book covers what the World Health Organization
has called “a global health problem”. In America alone, more than half of all
murdered women are killed by a current or former life partner; domestic violence cuts
across lines of class, religion and race. Snyder reveals pervasive myths (restraining
orders are the answer, abusers never change) and writes movingly about the lives (and
deaths) of people on both sides of the equation. She doesn’t give easy answers but
presents a wealth of information that is its own form of hope.
Midnight in Chernobyl
By Adam Higginbotham
Higginbotham’s superb account of the April 1986 explosion at the Chernobyl
nuclear power plant is one of those rare books about science and technology that read
like a tension-filled thriller. Filled with vivid detail and sharply etched personalities,
this narrative of astonishing incompetence moves from mistake to mistake,
miscalculation to miscalculation, as it builds to the inevitable, history-changing
disaster.
Exhalation
By Ted Chiang
Many of the nine deeply beautiful stories in this collection explore the material
consequences of time travel. Reading them feels like sitting at dinner with a friend
who explains scientific theory to you with no airs and graces. Each thoughtful,
elegantly crafted story poses a philosophical question; Chiang arranges all nine into a
conversation that comes full circle, after having travelled through remarkable areas.
21.Which of the following tells about the violence from a husband to a wife in a
family?
A. Disappearing Earth B. No Visible Bruises
C. Midnight in Chernobyl D. Exhalation
22. How may readers feel when reading the book Midnight in Chernobyl?
A. Delighted. B. Awkward. C. Tense. D. Calm.
23. What kind of book is Exhalation?
A. A folk tale. B. A biography. C. A love story. D. A sci-fi
story.
B
On a freezing December morning Matthew Warwick, then a 20-year-old college
student, climbed on the edge of Waterloo Bridge in London. That morning, Matthew escaped from a mental health hospital, where he’d been diagnosed with
schizo-affective disorder. He headed straight to the bridge, convinced that his disease
was a life sentence.
Hundreds of people passed by. Only one man called Alex Owen, then 25, calmly
and quietly walked to Matthew’s side.
“You’re alright, man? Why are you sitting on a bridge?”
At first Matthew wanted Alex to leave him alone, but something in Alex’s calm,
down-to-earth manner struck a chord. Matthew felt faith, like he could talk to him.
“It’s cold here. Why not have some coffee in a warm cafe? Everything will be
OK.” For the first time after the diagnosis Matthew felt perhaps it really might. He
climbed back.
The police, having received calls from passers-by, were waiting there. They
quickly put him into a police car, in case he was to panic and jump. He lost sight of
Alex, the person who’d brought him hope.
Matthew ended up back in hospital. Eventually, he was well enough to return to
university and finish his degree. Over the next six years, Matthew often thought about
the stranger who had talked him round. Eager to thank him in person, he posted a
Facebook message nicknaming the good man Mike. His #Find Mike post was shared
millions of times around the world, as far as Canada.
Matthew was overexcited when Alex called him two weeks after his post. They
had a reunion, finally having that coffee they had first planned all those years ago.
“Many people walked past, but because of Alex’s kindness and sympathy, I’ve
lived a good life.” Matthew said.
24. Why did Matthew climb up the bridge?
A. He was badly treated in the hospital. B. His disease made him lose hope.
C. He wanted to draw people’s attention. D. He studied poorly in the college.
25. What does the underlined phrase “struck a chord” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A. Touched his heart. B. Drew his attention.
C. Aroused his interest. D. Blew his mind.
26. Which of the following best describes Alex?
A. Diligent. B. Strong-willed. C. Caring. D. Generous.
27. How did Matthew find Alex?
A. By visiting homes door-to-door. B. By calling their friends.
C. By asking the police. D. By posting a message online.
C
Robert F. Kennedy once said that a country’s GDP measures “everything except
what makes life worthwhile.” With Britain voting to leave the European Union, and
GDP already predicted to slow as a result, it is now a timely moment to assess what
he was referring to.
The question of GDP and its usefulness has annoyed policymakers for over half a
century. Many argue that it is a mistaken concept. It measures things that do not
matter and misses things that do. By most recent measures, the UK’s GDP has been
the envy of the Western world, with record low unemployment and high growth
figures. If everything was going so well, then why did over 17 million people vote for Brexit, despite the warnings about what it could do to their country’s economic
prospects?
A recent annual study of countries and their ability to convert growth into
well-being throws some light on that question. Across the 163 countries measured, the
UK is one of the poorest performers in ensuring that economic growth is translated
into meaningful improvements for its citizens. Rather than just focusing on GDP, over
40 different sets of criteria from health, education and civil society engagement have
been measured to get a more all-round assessment of how countries are performing.
While all of these countries face their own challenges, there are a number of
common themes. Yes, there has been an economic recovery since the 2008 global
crash, but in key indicators in areas such as health and education, major economies
have continued to decline. Yet this isn’t the case with all countries. Some relatively
poor European countries have seen huge improvements across measures including
civil society, income equality and environment.
This is a lesson that rich countries can learn: When GDP is no longer regarded as
the only measure of a country’s success, the world looks very different.
So what Kennedy was referring to was that while GDP has been the most
common method for measuring the economic activity of nations, as a measure, it is no
longer enough. It does not include important factors such as environmental quality or
education outcomes — all things that contribute to a person’s sense of well-being.
28. Robert F. Kennedy is cited because he _______.
A. praised the UK for its GDP. B. identified GDP with happiness.
C. misinterpreted the role of GDP. D. had a low opinion of GDP.
29. It can be inferred from Paragraph 2 that _______.
A. the UK is unwilling to reshape its economic pattern.
B. many people in the UK don’t think much of GDP as the measure of success.
C. the UK will contribute less to the world economy.
D. policymakers in the UK are paying less attention to GDP.
30. Which of the following is true about the recent annual study?
A. Its results are inspiring. B. It is sponsored by 163 countries.
C. Its criteria are questionable. D. It removes GDP as an indicator.
31. What is the author’s attitude towards GDP as the most common measure of a
country’s success?
A. Favorable. B. Indifferent. C. Critical. D. Defensive.
D
This year marks exactly two centuries since the publication of Frankenstein by
Mary Shelley. Even before the invention of the electric light bulb, the author
produced a remarkable work of fiction that would foresee many ethical( 道 德 的 )
questions to be raised by technologies yet to come. Today the rapid growth of
artificial intelligence (AI) raises fundamental questions: “What is intelligence,
identity, or consciousness? What makes human conscience(良知)？”
What is being called artificial general intelligence, machines that would imitate
the way humans think, continues to evade( 难 倒 ) scientists. Yet humans remain
fascinated by the idea of robots that would look, move, and respond like humans, similar to those recently on popular sci-fi TV series such as “West World” and
“Humans”.
How people think is still far too complex to be understood, let alone reproduced,
says David Eagleman, a Stanford University neuroscientist. “We are just in a situation
where there are no good theories explaining what consciousness actually is and how
you could ever build a machine to get there.”
But that doesn’t mean essential ethical issues involving AI aren’t at hand. The
coming use of autonomous vehicles, for example, raises difficult ethical questions.
Human drivers sometimes must make split-second decisions. Their reactions may be a
complex combination of instant reflections, input from past driving experiences, and
what their eyes and ears tell them in that moment. AI “vision” today is not nearly as
complicated as that of humans. And to foresee every imaginable driving situation is a
difficult programming problem.
Whenever decisions are based on masses of data, “you quickly get into a lot of
ethical questions,” notes Tan Kiat How, chief executive of a Singapore-based agency
that is helping the government develop a voluntary code for the ethical use of AI.
Along with Singapore, other governments and mega-corporations are beginning to
establish their own guidelines. Britain is setting up a data ethics center. India released
its AI ethics strategy this spring.
Only when we can make sure that the thinking of intelligent machines reflects
humanity’s highest values will they be useful servants and not Frankenstein’s
out-of-control monster.
32. Why did the author mention Mary Shelley’s novel Frankenstein at the beginning
of the passage?
A. Because it has remained popular for as long as 200 years.
B. Because it fascinates AI scientists all over the world.
C. Because it has sparked serious ethical controversies.
D. Because it involves some concerns raised by AI today.
33. In David Eagleman’s opinion, our current knowledge of consciousness ________.
A. helps explain artificial intelligence. B. can be misleading to robot
making.
C. inspires popular sci-fi TV series. D. is too limited for us to
reproduce it.
34. The solution to the ethical issues brought by autonomous vehicles ________.
A. can hardly ever be found. B. is still beyond our power.
C. causes little public concern. D. has aroused much curiosity.
35. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?
A. AI’s Future: In the Hands of Tech Giants
B. Frankenstein, the Novel Predicting the Age of AI
C. The Conscience of AI: Complex But Unavoidable
D. AI Shall Be Killers Once Out of Control
第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有
两项为多余选项。Even if you don’t know the more complex aspects of index funds, everyone
generally knows what it means to be good with money. Spend less than your earn,
save for the future, stay out of debt.
36 In fact, when we are talking about money management, we are
actually talking about our psychological relationship with money. Fundamentally, our
financial problems come from unmet needs. In the case of compulsive overspending,
the problem is almost never that a person lacks self-control. 37
If you overspend on clothing, you don’t actually believe you need 1,000 items in
your closet. More likely, you are uncomfortable with your body or status. Clothing
helped you feel good about yourself in the past. 38 If overspending on
restaurants, you are not so lazy that you can’t be bothered to cook a single meal.
Rather, you are exhausted from doing things you don’t want to do. You need to give
yourself energy in the form of a food high, one that will temporarily mask your
unhappiness.
The path to true financial health is not to reduce your life to a tight budget,
39 Instead of letting yourself be controlled by uncomfortable impulses, financial
health is all about creating a budget that allows you to do what you truly desire in life.
If your problem is low self-worth, invest strategically in things that will make you
feel worthy. Maybe it’s a few amazing pieces of clothing that are tailored well and
last long. Maybe it’s a few sessions of therapy. If your problem is burnout, invest in
rest and relaxation. 40
When something shifts within you, something shifts around you. Not the other
way around.
A. Now, you think you are always one dress away from feeling at peace in your
own skin.
B. Consider reducing your working hours, or setting aside money for a personal
trip.
C. However, it’s easier to say than to do.
D. but to turn to financial consultants for advice on how to manage your bank
account.
E. Rather, he usually has an unmet basic need which he is addressing through
overspending.
F. Money principles are simple; it’s human psychology that’s complex.
G. but to take an honest look at your needs and meet them with long-term
solutions.

Dear Peter,I am delighted to receive your letter asking me about my dream university. Now,
I would like to share something with you.
My ideal university is Shanghai Jiao Tong University. Below are the reasons
accounting for my preference. To start with, it is its beautiful campus and wonderful
academic atmosphere that appeal to me. Besides, I intend to study Architecture, which
is rated as one of the best majors in this university. At last, located in the financial
centre of China, it is blessed with abundant resources and opportunities, which offers
me better employment prospects.
Now, I have been fully occupied with my study. With the Spring Festival
approaching, I am planning to take advantage of this winter vacation to get well
prepared for Gao Kao. Hopefully, I will be admitted to my dream university.
Yours,
Lihua
