B
When Lina was awoken by the sound of thunder, she was alone on the island. The air was cool
and bullfrogs croaked. It was that brief moment when the summer sun had set but the stars hadn't
yet appeared. Lina rubbed her eyes and looked around.
"Hello?" she called. "Celia? Marie?"
There was no response.
The moon was rising now, shedding light on the island. They had always called it "Forgotten
Island" because no one but they seemed to remember its existence. It wasn't on any of the maps they
could find, and even the forest rangers didn't know about it. Lina loved that the island, hidden in a
heavily-wooded side stream of the river, was a secret between the three friends-her, Celia, and
Marie.
But now Lina was here alone, and it was night. Worse still, it was her own fault.
"Come on, Lina, let Marie row the boat." Celia had said. Marie was two years older than Lina,
but she was a hopeless rower. That's why Lina refused and rowed the boat to the island. The
argument that followed the refusal took the usual form. Celia took Marie's side, as she always did.
Lina had exploded and yelled at them to just leave. So they got back in the boat and left.
A bolt of lightning crossed the darkened sky, accompanied by a deafening thunder clap. The
storm was here. As the first cold raindrop slid down her neck, Lina's mind returned to her current
problem. She was stuck here by herself. She just hoped she didn't become as forgotten as the island.
The thought of it sent a chill（寒意）down her back.
Suddenly, Lina spotted something in the water. It was a boat, and inside it were Marie, Celia,
and Marie's dad, who was steering through the fast flowing waters. As the boat approached, they
saw Lina waving and the worried expressions on their faces turned to relief.
In her excitement Lina jumped into the river. Only once she was in the icy water did she
remember how fast the water was moving. Luckily a strong arm reached into the water and pulled
her out. She smiled weakly at Marie's dad and, without a word, hugged Celia and Marie. They didn't
seem to mind becoming wet.
24．What can be inferred about the island?
A. It is very near the ocean. B. It is a popular place for boating.
C. It is surrounded by thick forest. D. It has never been reached by others.
25. Why did Lina get angry?
A. Marie would not help row the boat.
B. Lina was left alone on the island.
C. Marie didn't know how to row the boat.
D. Celia supported Marie in the disagreement.
26. What caused Lina to feel a chill?
A. Her shame about the unnecessary argument.
B. The first raindrops of the approaching storm. 3
C. The idea that no one would come to save her.
D. The drop in temperature as the sun went down.
27. Who pulled Lina out of the water?
A. Marie's father. B. Lina herself. C. Marie. D. Celia．
C
When you don't have a car and need to get around, are you more likely to call for an Uber or
Lyft, or a cab? Last Friday, Lyft – the ride-sharing company, went public as its stocks（股票）
started trading on the market. Lyft has become the first big initial public offering of the "gig
economy” age. While the company is not making profits yet, it is changing the meaning of work.
What is gig economy and what makes it so appealing?
Gig works are independent contracts（合同）or part-time jobs such as Uber. In the gig economy,
companies hire independent contractors instead of full-time employees. This is different from
traditional companies where full-time workers hold a lifetime career. In the past, only small
companies hired contractors, while today, employers like Amazon and Google rely on temporary
workforce. These companies save costs as they are not legally required to provide healthcare
benefits, retirement savings or paid time off to gig workers.
Gig work appeals to different people for different reasons. For some, it affords flexible timings
and for otliers who are looking for full-time jobs, it provides a source of income to support
themselves. Some people work a full-time job and supplement（补充）their salary with gig jobs such
as driving for Uber or Lyft.
Joining the gig economy may be simple, but maintaining a steady career is easier said than
done. Gig work comes with unsteady pay and workloads. You're your own boss. It sounds fun, but
when you have no self-control and an unsteady job, you might splurge all your money the first week
and live on bread pieces for the rest of the month! Besides a strong sense of responsibility, gig
workers have to stay up to date to get companies to hire them.
Despite the challenges gig workers face, nearly 60 million Americans are part of this
workforce. As this number grows, we have to see how society and companies adapt to this new
world of work!
28. What can be learnt about Lyft from the passage?
A. It has built up a large fortune.
B. It marks the arrival of gig economy age.
C. It employs a fixed number of full-time workers.
D. It appeals to people as a means of public transport.
29. Who are most likely to become gig workers?
A. People seeking for a steady income.
B. Those desperate to get paid vacations.
C. People in need of flexible working hours.
D. Those concerned about retirement accounts. 4
30. What does the underlined word "splurge" in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Spend money freely. B. Deposit money automatically.
C. Earn money quickly. D. Allocate money randomly.
31. What is the message mainly conveyed in the passage?
A. Gig workers have to face some potential challenges.
B. Gig workers have to possess some much-needed qualities.
C. The appearance of gig companies will solve the job problems.
D. People should adjust to new work trends with the rise of gig companies.
D
Just last month，AI-generated art arrived on the auction(拍卖) stage of Christie’s，proving that
artificial intelligence can not only be creative but also produce world-class works of art—another
significant AI milestone blurring the line between human and machine.
Naturally, the news sparked off debates about whether the work produced by Paris-based art
collective Obvious could really be called art at all. Popular opinion among creatives is that art is a
process by which human beings express some ideas or emotions, filter them through personal
experience and set them against a broader cultural context. The story raised additional questions
about ownership. In this circumstance，who can really be named as the author? The algorithm(算法)
itself or the team behind it?
At GumGum, an AI company that focuses on computer vision，we wanted to explore the
intersection of AI and art by devising a Turing Test of our own in association with Rutgers
University’s Art and Artificial Intelligence Lab and Cloudpainter，an artificially intelligent painting
robot. We were keen to see whether AI can，in fact，replicate(复制) the intent and imagination of
traditional artists，and we wanted to explore the potential impact of AI on the creative sector.
To do this，we enlisted a broad collection of diverse artists from traditional pain-on-canvas
artists to 3-D rendering and modeling artists alongside Pindar Van Arman—a classically trained
artist who has been coding art robots for 15 years. Van Arman was tasked with using his
Cloudpainter machine to create pieces of art based on the same data set as the more traditional
artists. This data set was a collection of art by 20th century American Abstract Expressionists.
Then，we asked them to document the process，showing us their preferred tools and telling us how
they came to their final work.
Amazingly，while at face value the AI artwork was indistinguishable from that of the more
traditional artists，the test revealed that the creative spark and ultimate agency behind creating a
work of art is still very much human. Even though the Cloudpainter machine has evolved over time
to become a highly intelligent system capable of making creative decisions of its own, the final
piece of work could only be described as a collaboration (合作) between human and machine. Van
Arman served as more of an “art director for the painting”.
As AI becomes an unstoppable force，it raises some difficult questions about the future role of
humans in an increasingly automated world. Instead of worrying about AI’s threat to human
creative supremacy，the future will be about accepting new technologies and the possibilities it 5
brings for speeding up the process. It’s better to think of AI as your next creative assistant；beautiful
pieces of work can be produced in collaboration with it.
32.According to popular opinion，the AI-generated work .
A. should have been based on personal experience
B. was set against a broader cultural context
C. couldn’t be considered art at all
D. expresses no idea or emotion
33. What did the experiment at GumGum show?
A. AI artworks could be easily identified
B. AI artworks could show human emotions.
C. AI had trouble making sensible decisions.
D. AI couldn’t complete a work independently.
34. Which of the following statements would the author agree with?
A. Beautiful pieces cannot be works of AI.
B. AI could be an advanced tool for artists.
C. AI could challenge the supremacy of humans.
D. New technologies can pose a danger to humans.
35.What is the best title for the passage?
A. Can AI Create True Art? B. Can AI Threaten Humans?
C. Will Human Art Disappear? D. Are AI Artworks Distinguishable?

Putting children in daycare helps working parents take their minds off childcare. 36 .
How daycare negatively affects children is related to many factors. One study has suggested
that some children who spend long hours in daycare centers experience more stress than those who
spend more time in a setting with a mother.
Another study has shown that children who are shy have a higher level of the hormone cortisol
（皮质醇）which is released when an individual shows signs of stress. 37 . And as a
result the child may not mix well with the other children and the teachers at the daycare center, a
situation that can cause stress.
Another negative impact of daycare is that there is less communication between a mother and
her child. 38 . So it is essential for a child to develop a deep bond with his or her
mother, since this will lay the foundation for all the relationships he or she will form later on in life.
Children who spend a lot of time with their mothers experience healthy social and emotional
development, while long hours in daycare can disrupt this bonding. Children who lose out on
precious mother-child bonding are observed to have behavioral problems as they grow older.
Children in daycare centers also feel unprotected compared to children at home. In a daycare 6
center, when one caregiver attends to more than one child at the same time, she may not be able to
look deeply into why a child is mixing well or not. 39 . Another negative aspect of
daycare is that children there are more likely to fall ill if they come in contact with sick children.
40 . Well-maintained daycare centers contribute a great deal to the overall
development of a child by providing a structured environment. Children become more social by
interacting with other children of the same age, and learn new activities that are not always
available if they are brought up only at home.
A. But daycare has its disadvantages.
B. Look for a daycare center that is well-maintained.
C. However, the advantages of daycare cannot be ignored.
D. This is because a shy child will not open up freely in public.
E. Babies become extremely attached to their primary caregivers.
F. In such cases, a child may become either completely quiet or aggressive.
G. You can cut the time in daycare centers by making alternative childcare arrangements.

阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1 个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。
The traditional Chinese name chop(名章) or seal has been used for thousands of years.
61 is quite likely that people began using name chops because Chinese characters are so
complex and few people in ancient times 62 (be) able to read and write. In addition，chops
date back to a time 63 there was no other form of 64 (identify) such as ID cards.
A chop also served as a valid signature. All official 65 (document) in China needed a
chop to be valid. Today, most Chinese are educated, but the tradition 66 (keep) alive in China.
If you spend any length of time in China, you will almost 67 (certain) need to have a
chop. If you’re staying a short time, a chop makes a(n) _68__ (amaze) souvenir. A chop can
be made quickly, but first you will need to have your name 69 (translate) into Chinese
characters.
There are many different sizes and styles of chops. Inexpensive small chops can be carved
__70__wood or plastic—upmarket chops are made from ivory，jade，marble or steel. Only a special
type of slow-drying red ink is used for a name chop，so if you buy a chop in China，get an inkpad
(印泥盒) too. 8
