A
Dear 17-year-old self,
When your Laker dream comes true tomorrow, you need to figure out a way to invest the future of your
family. This sounds simple, and you may think it's a no-brainer, but take some time to think on it further.
I said INVEST, I did not say GIVE. Let me explain.
Purely giving material things to your siblings(兄弟姐妹)may appear to be the right decision. So you
buy them a car, a big house, and pay all of their bills. You want them to live a beautiful, comfortable life,
right?
But the day will come when you realize that as much as you believed you were doing the right thing,
you were actually holding them back.
微信公公众号《免费下载站》3
You will come to understand that you were taking care of them because it made YOU feel good, it made
You happy to see them smiling and without a care in the world-and that was extremely selfish of you. While
you were feeling satisfied with yourself, you were slowly eating away at their own dreams and ambitions.
You were adding material things to their lives, but subtracting the most precious gifts of all.
Invest in their future, don't just give.
Use your success, wealth and influence to put them in the best position to realize their own dreams and
find their true purpose. Put them through school, set them up with job interviews and help them become
leaders in their own right. Hold them to the same level of hard work and dedication that it took for you to get
to where you are now, and where you will eventually go.
I' m writing you now so that you can begin this process immediately, and so that you don't have to deal
with the hurt and struggle of weaning(断绝) them off the addiction that you facilitated. That addiction only
leads to anger, hatred and jealousy from everybody involved, including yourself.
As time goes on, you will see them grow independently and have their own ambitions and their own
lives, and your relationship with all of them will be much better as a result.
Trust me, setting things up right from the beginning will avoid a ton of tears and headache, some of
which remains to this day.
Much love,
Kobe
21. What might be the best title of this letter?
A. To My Younger Self B. For My Dear Family
C. To My Beloved Son D. For My Older Self
22. What may be "the most precious gifts of all" in Paragraph 5?
A Independence and growth B Wealth and health
C. Love and dedication D Success and leadership.
23. What can we infer from this letter?
A. The writer will stop offering his siblings help in the future.
B. The writer didn’t think it a good fortune to become successful early.
C. The writer intends to remind others not to care too much about materials.
D. The writer was once troubled by the relationship between him and his family.
B
Every day around the world, thousands of people with little or no scholarly training in art history walk
into museums. They may or may not read notice boards that share relevant information of the artworks or
artists. Imagine, before being permitted to direct their eyeballs to the art on the walls, museum visitors were
required to read a 15-or 20-page introduction to each piece or each artist. How many people would go to
museums if that were the case?
Yet this seems to be the expectation when it comes to reading classic literature. Classic novels typically
come with 15-or 20-page introductions, which often include spoilers assuming that readers do not come to
classic books to discover, be absorbed in, and be surprised by the story world. Also, apparently, we mustn’t
read classics alone, without experts guiding our experiences.
However, classic literature is in a unique position to show us that were not alone in our pains and joys.
By taking us out of our time, classic books free us to see beyond the set of beliefs we stick to and to connect
human experiences that remain alive across time and place. What could be more grounding, more
comforting, than seeing ourselves in the battles, longings, and pleasures that have played out across
hundreds, thousands of years of human history? Our personal engagement is the first step of a longer

journey of discovery that deepens our knowledge and understanding of ourselves and our world. We may,
for example, feel for Hester Prynne from Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter though we despair of the
world she lived in
While we’re letting go of things, let’s stop worrying about understanding everything. We can’t. It will be
fun if we embrace curiosity, the pleasure of working out a mystery, and our common relationships as
humans. We can feel, for example, the power of self-sacrifice in Charles Dickens’ A Tale of Two Cities even
when we lack full understanding of the cultural references and language.
24. Most museum goers __________.
A. enjoy reading notice boards
B. understand the artworks we
C. lack professional art knowledge
D. share common interest in artworks
25. What can the "spoilers" in Paragraph 2 possibly be?
A. Story writers. B. Readers' expectations.
C. Guiding experts. D. Plots given away in advance.
26. What prevents readers enjoying reading classics
A. Showing curiosity about the writers. B. Letting go of things.
C. Trying to understand everything. D. Working out mysteries.
27. What message is mainly conveyed in the passage?
A. We should find more fun from classics.
B. Reading classics is a personal exploration.
C. Experts need to give readers better guidance.
D. Classic literature benefits readers a great deal
C
Online programs to fight depression are already commercially available. While they sound efficient and
cost-saving, a recent study reports that they're not effective, primarily because depressed patients are not
likely to engage with them or stick with them.
The study looked at computer-assisted cognitive(认知的)behavioral therapy(CBT) and found that it
was no more effective in treating depression than the usual care patients receive from a primary care doctor.
Traditional CBT is considered an effective form of talk therapy for depression, helping people challenge
negative thoughts and change the way they think in order to change their mood and behaviors. However,
online CBT programs have been gaining popularity, with the attraction of providing low-cost help wherever
someone has access to a computer.
A team of researchers from the University of York conducted a randomized(随机) control trial with 691
depressed patients from 83 physician practices across England. The patients were split into three groups: one
group received only usual care from a physician while the other two groups received usual care from a
physician plus one of two computerized CBT programs. Participants were balanced across the three groups
for age, sex, educational background, severity and duration of depression, and use of antidepressants(抗抑郁
药).
After four months, the patients using the computerized CBT programs had no improvement in
depression levels over the patients who were only getting usual care from their doctors.
“It's an important, warning note that we shouldn't get too carried away with the idea that a computer
system can replace doctors and therapists, "says Christopher Dowrick, a professor of primary medical care at
the University of Liverpool. “We do still need the human touch or the human interaction, particularly when
people are depressed.”

“Being depressed can mean feeling lost in your own small, negative, dark world,” Dowrick says.
Having a person, instead of a computer, reach out to you is particularly important in fighting that sense of
isolation. “When you're emotionally fragile, you're even more in need of a caring human being,” he says.
28. What does the recent study say about online CBT programs?
A. Patients may not be able to carry them through for effective cure.
B. Patients cannot engage with them without the use of a computer.
C. They can save patients trouble visiting physicians.
D. They have been well received by a lot of patients.
29. What has made online CBT programs increasingly popular?
A. Their effectiveness in combating depression.
B. The low efficiency of traditional talk therapy.
C. Their easy and inexpensive access by patients.
D. The recommendation by primary care doctors.
30. What is Professor Dowrick's advice concerning online CBT programs?
A. They should not be neglected in primary care.
B. Their effectiveness should not be overestimated.
C. They should be used by strictly following instructions.
D. Their use should be encouraged by doctors and therapists.
31. Which is more important to an emotionally vulnerable person?
A. A positive state of mind. B. Appropriate medication.
C. Timely encouragement. D. Human interaction.

Claude Monet, Pablo Picasso and Leonardo da Vinci …the art world has never lacked talent. And now, a
new painter is ready to join the list, although this one isn’t even human.
Next month, the auction house Christies Prints and Multiples will make history by offering the first
piece of art created by artificial intelligence (AI) for sale. The painting is a portrait of a man called Edmond
De Belamy, and is expected to be sold for up to $ 10,000.
The work, which features a man with mysterious look on his face, was created by software developed
by the French art group Obvious. Laugero-Lasserre, an art collector, called the work "grotesque and amazing
at the same time.” This isn't the first example of AI-produced artwork, as AI has already been used to write
poems and compose songs. However, many people doubt whether it should be called art at all.
According to Russian writer Leo Tolstoy(1828-1910), art is about creating emotion(情感). It's "a means
of…joining people together in the same feelings,” he once said.
So, if the emotion behind art is what makes it, the ability to create and use tools is what makes human
beings different from other species. And as a tool itself, the AI technology used to create the portrait is the
result of a lot of effort made by several designers. Together, they "fed" the AI a huge collection of paintings
from the 14th to the 18th centuries, until it was able to work out how to make similar paintings of its own
The introduction of Al art could be the beginning of a new artistic movement. However, not everyone is
ready to welcome these high-tech artists just yet.
“The human mind is what's behind the AI technology. And the human mind is not a cold, hard fact,”
said Oscar Schwartz, a professor of AI. "Rather, it is something that's created with our opinions and
something that changes over time.
32. Why does the author mention the artists in Paragraph l?
A. To introduce their works. B. To make an advertisement
C. To present a piece of news. D. To focus the topic on Al.

33. What does the underlined word "grotesque" in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Strange. B. Simple
C. Messy. D. Understandable
34. What can we learn about the AI-produced artwork according to Paragraph 5?
A. It comes from human works. B. It shows the human ability to create.
C. It expresses human feelings effectively. D. It is beyond the imagination of humans.
35. Oscar Schwartz thinks the human mind is __________ compared with AI?
A. limited B. decisive
C. useless D. Meaningful

Words have the power to build us up or tear us down. It doesn't matter if the words come from ourselves
or someone else. The positive and negative effects are just as lasting.
36 We're usually too embarrassed to admit it, though. In fact, we really shouldn't be because
more and more experts believe talking to ourselves out loud is a healthy habit. This “self-talk” helps us
motivate ourselves, remember things, solve problems, and calm ourselves down. Be aware, though, that as
much as 77% of self-talk tends to be negative. 37
Often, words come out of our mouths without us thinking about the effect they will have. But we should
be aware that our words cause certain responses in others. For example, when returning an item to a store,
we might use warm, friendly language during the exchange. And the clerk will probably respond in a similar
manner. 38
Words possess power because of their lasting effect. Many of us regret something we once said. We
remember unkind words said to us as well. Before speaking, we should always ask ourselves: 39 If what
we want to say doesn't pass this test, then it's better left unsaid.
Words possess power: both positive and negative. Those around us receive encouragement when we
speak positively. We can offer hope, build self-esteem and motivate others to do their best. 40 Will we
use our words to hurt or to heal? The choice is ours.
A. Is it loving?
B. How should I say it?
C. We all talk to ourselves sometimes.
D. Negative words destroy all those things.
E. Generally people like positive and pleasant words.
F. However, critical language may cause anger and defense.
G. So we should only speak encouraging words to ourselves.

In this constantly changing world, how to put the knowledge 61 (gain) every day into reality has

There are several reasons 65 (account) for this statement. To begin with, human beings are
