第一节 (共 15 小题；每小题 3 分，满分 45 分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C 和 D）中，选出最佳选项。
A
While you’re hurrying around picking up gifts in the last few days before Christmas, do you have any
time to think about how much your relatives, or friends will actually value what you find WePay, a
Website that helps people collect, manage and spend money online, has analyzed tons of research, reports
and surveys from different sources, and the results were surprising!
Are Gift Cards a Good Idea
Rather than give someone a gift that they might not like, it’s better just to pick up a gift card so they
can buy what they really want, right Wrong. This year, $2.5 billion in gift cards went unspent. Of that
amount, $1.3 billion went unspent because people didn’t bother making the time. Another $1 billion or so
was forgotten altogether.
How Much Do We Really Value the Gifts We’re Given
The lucky recipient of a gift, like a cashmere sweater, will value it less than the amount it was
purchased for. And ladies, contrary to what you might think, place less monetary (钱的) value on the
diamond ring they are given than the guys who have bought it for them.

What Happens to Our Gifts After They’re Given
Many complain that the holiday season means shopping and crazily spending money, but studies show
that once the big day arrives, we are less focused on gifts than we think. Every year, at least one gift per
person is re-gifted, returned or never even opened.
And How Do We Really Feel About Fruit Cakes
We all know that no one likes fruit cakes, right Wrong, once again. Although fruit cakes continue to
be taken away behind the rest of the holiday cookies and cakes on the dessert table, one in four people still
consider giving them as gifts.
What does this all really mean To be clear, it’s certainly not that you shouldn’t enjoy the holiday
spirit and feel great about giving gifts to those most important to you. While so many of us are worrying
about how much money we’re spending and who we still need to buy for, it simply helps to take a step back
and rethink what it really means to give a gift.
21. The text is mainly about __________.
A. a web site that helps people buy gifts B. some advice on how to choose a gift
C. the stories behind the holiday gifts D. the ways to deal with the gifts received
22. What does the author say about gift cards
A. They mean less than gifts themselves. B. A lot of them are not spent at all.
C. People don’t bother to buy them. D. They are more valuable to our friends.
23. The last paragraph tries to tell us that __________.
A. gifts are an important part of a holiday B. it’s a waste of money to buy gifts
C. holiday gifts are always meaningless
D. careful consideration is necessary before buying a gift
B
Walt Disney is credited for creating such wonderful things as Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse.
However, he cannot take the credit for creating other well-loved characters, such as Cinderella and Snow
White. They are almost automatically associated with Disney because Disney turned old fables into cartoon
movies.
The original Cinderella varies very much from the Disney version we know today. It started off with
the girl mourning her mother’s death and going to her tomb three times a day. In addition, there were only
birds that helped Cinderella; there was no such thing as a fairy godmother or helpful mice, nor was there
mention of a horse and carriage.
The stepsisters were cruel: they always threw Cinderella’s food into the ashes of the fire and made her
sleep on the ashes on the floor, hence her name.
In the original story, the king’s ball actually lasted for three days. With the help of the birds, the girl,
beautifully dressed, danced with the prince on all three nights and the prince fell in love with her. However,
she broke away from him to rush back home each night. On the last night, the prince placed something
sticky on the stairs; as Cinderella made her escape, a shoe got stuck on it.
Here now is where the story becomes unpleasant: when the prince went to the house looking for the
girl whose foot fit the shoe, the wicked stepmother told one of her two daughters to cut off her big toe to fit
into the shoe. The daughter did as told. So the prince took her away to be his bride. But when they passed
the tomb of Cinderella’s mother, the birds called out to the prince,“Turn and peep, there’s blood in the shoe;
the shoe is too small, the true bride waits for you.”
Realizing he had been tricked, the prince returned the daughter to her mother. The other then had to
3
{#{QQABCQIAggAIAAJAABgCQQEICAAQkAACCAoGBBAEMAIAwQNABAA=}#}
cut off part of her heel in order to fit into the shoe, with the same result. Only Cinderella’s foot fit perfectly
and so the prince chose to marry her. The story ends with the wedding day: as Cinderella’s two stepsisters
followed her, pretending to be devoted to her so that they could enjoy the king’s riches, two birds flew by
and plucked (啄) out their eyes. Because of their wickedness and falsehood, they had to spend the rest of
their days blind.
The original Cinderella is so different from the Disney version. Thank goodness Disney made such
changes; it indeed was a wise move.
24. What does the underlined word “They” in the first paragraph refer to
A. Such wonderful things. B. Other well-loved characters.
C. Old fables. D. Cartoon movies.
25. Which of the following is TRUE according to the original story
A. Helpful mice got Cinderella a beautiful dress.
B. The ball was held to celebrate the prince’s wedding.
C. Cinderella left her shoe on the stairs on purpose.
D. The birds told the prince that he had been cheated.
26. The moral of the original story is that _______.
A. a wicked person cannot escape punishment B. a devoted person certainly deserves respect
C. a well-behaved child earns a great reward D. a dishonest child cannot get mother love
27. What does the author think of the Disney version
A. Excellent. B. Ordinary C. Dull. D. Ridiculous.
C
Nuclear power’s danger to health, safety, and even life itself can be described in one word: radiation.
Nuclear radiation has a certain mystery about it, partly because it cannot be detected by human senses.
It can’t be seen or heard, or touched or tasted, even though it may be all around us. There are other things
like that. For example, radio waves are all around us but we can’t detect them, sense them, without a radio
receiver. Similarly, we can’t sense radioactivity without a radiation detector. But unlike common radio
waves, nuclear radiation is not harmless to human beings and other living things.
At very high levels, radiation can kill an animal or human being outright by killing masses of cells in
important organs. But even the lowest levels can do serious damage. There is no level of radiation that is
completely safe. If the radiation does not hit anything important, the damage may not be significant. This is
the case when only a few cells are hit, and if they are killed outright. Your body will replace the dead cells
with healthy ones. But if the few cells are only damaged, and if they reproduce themselves, you may be in
trouble. They reproduce themselves in an unusual way. They can grow into cancer. Sometimes this does not
show up for many years.
This is another reason for some of the mystery about nuclear radiation. Serious damage can be done
without the knowledge of the person at the time that damage has occurred. A person can be irradiated (放射
治疗) and feel fine, then die of cancer five, ten, or twenty years later as a result. Or a child can be born
weak or easy to get serious illness as a result of radiation absorbed by its grandparents.
Radiation can hurt us. We must know the truth.
28. According to the passage, the danger of nuclear power lies in __________.
A. nuclear mystery B. radiation detection C. radiation level D. nuclear radiation
29. Radiation may lead to serious results even at the lowest level ________.
A. when it kills few cells B. if it damages a few cells
4
{#{QQABCQIAggAIAAJAABgCQQEICAAQkAACCAoGBBAEMAIAwQNABAA=}#}
C. though the damaged cells can repair themselves
D. unless the damaged cells can reproduce themselves
30. Radiation can hurt us in the way that it can ________.
A. kill large numbers of cells in main organs so as to cause death immediately
B. damage cells which may grow into cancer years later
C. affect the healthy growth of our younger generation
D. lead to all of the results above
31. Which of the following can be best inferred from the passage
A. The importance of protection from radiation cannot be overemphasized.
B. The mystery about radiation remains unsolved.
C. Cancer is mainly caused by radiation.
D. Radiation can hurt those who do not know about its danger.
D
Superhuman artificial intelligence is already among us. Well, sort of. When it comes to playing games
like chess and Go, or solving difficult scientific challenges like predicting protein structures, computers are
well ahead of us. But we have one superpower they aren’t close to mastering: mind reading.
Humans have a mysterious ability to reason the goals, desires and beliefs of others, a crucial skill that
means we can anticipate other people’s actions and the consequences of our own. Reading minds comes so
easily to us, though, that we often don’t think to spell out what we want. If AIs are to become truly useful in
everyday life—to cooperate effectively with us or to understand that a child might run into the road after a
bouncing ball—we have to give them this gift that evolution has given us to read other people’s minds.
Psychologists refer to the ability to infer another’s mental state as theory of mind. In humans, this
capacity starts to develop at a very young age. How to reproduce the capability in machines is far from
clear, though. One of the main challenges is context. For instance, if someone asks whether you are going
for a run and you reply “it’s raining”, they can quickly conclude that the answer is no. But this requires
huge amounts of background knowledge about running, weather and human preferences.
Moreover, whether humans or AI, the theory of mind is supposed to emerge naturally from one’s own
learning process. Building prior knowledge into AI makes it reliant on our imperfect understanding of
theory of mind. In addition, AI may be capable of developing approaches we could never imagine. There
can be many forms of theory of mind that we don’t know about simply because we live in a human body
that has certain types of senses and a certain ability to think.
Yet we might still want AI to have a more human-like form of theory of mind. Humans can clearly
explain their goals and desires to each other using common language and ideas. While letting AI form the
theory of mind in their learning process is likely to lead to developing more powerful AI, plainly building
in shared ways to represent knowledge may be crucial for humans to trust and communicate with AI.
It is important to remember, though, that the pursuit of machines with theory of mind is about more
than just building more useful robots. It is also a stepping stone on the path towards a deeper goal for AI
and robotics research: building truly self-aware machines. Whether we will ever get there remains to be
seen. But along the way thinking about other people and other agents, we are on the path to learning to
think about ourselves.
32. According to the passage, which of the following contexts can AI understand well
A. When you are asked to eat spicy food for dinner and you reply “a sore throat”.
B. When a teacher asks for a boy’s homework and he answers “my dog ate it”.
5
{#{QQABCQIAggAIAAJAABgCQQEICAAQkAACCAoGBBAEMAIAwQNABAA=}#}
C. When a mom tells her kid some food is good for health and the kid eats it.
D. When kids see their mom after hurting themselves and they cry louder.
33. The author believes that _______.
A. humans’ theory of mind is far from perfect B. humans limit AI’s theory of mind to an extent
C. we should reject human-like forms of abilities for AI
D. shared forms of theory of mind result in more powerful AI
34. As for AIs, what does the author value most
A. Reliability. B. Practicability. C. Reasoning capability. D. Communication ability.
35. Which would be the best title for the passage
A. AI with Its Own Theory of Mind Is Expected
B. AI with Theory of Mind Will Reshape Our Future
C. AI’s Theory of Mind Is a Blessing or Suffering to Humans
D. Theory of Mind Bridges the Gap Between Humans and AI

Public Speaking and Critical Thinking
What is critical thinking To a certain degree, it’s a matter of logic – of being able to spot weaknesses
in other people’s arguments and to avoid them in your own. It also includes related skills such as
distinguishing fact from opinion and assessing the soundness of evidence.
In the broad sense, critical thinking is focused, organized thinking — the ability to see clearly the
relationships among ideas. 36 The greatest thinkers, scientists, and inventors have often taken
information that was readily available and put it together differently to produce new ideas. That, too, is
critical thinking.
37 As the class goes on, for example, you will probably spend a good deal of time organizing
your speeches. While this may seem like a purely mechanical exercise, it is closely connected with critical
thinking. If the structure of your speech is loose and confused, chances are that your thinking is also
disordered and confused. If, on the other hand, the structure is clear, there is a good chance your thinking is
too. Organizing a speech is not just a matter of arranging the ideas you already have. 38
What is true of organization is true of many aspects of public speaking. 39 As you work on
expressing your ideas in clear, accurate language, you will improve your ability to think clearly and
accurately. 40 As you learn to listen critically to speeches in class, you will be better able to assess
the ideas of speakers in a variety of situations.
If you take full advantage of your speech class, you will be able to develop your skills as a critical
thinker in many circumstances. This is one reason public speaking has been regarded as a vital part of
education since the days of ancient Greece.
A. Rather, it is an important part of shaping the ideas themselves.
B. This may seem like a lot of time, but the rewards are well worth it.
C. It may help you to know that there is no such thing as a perfect speech.
D. It has often been said that there are few new ideas in the world, only reorganized ideas.
E. If you are wondering what this has to do with your public speaking class, the answer is quite a lot.
F. The skills you learn in your speech class can help you become a more effective thinker in a number of
ways.
G. As you study the role of evidence and reasoning in speechmaking, you will see how they can be used in

its headquarters. Besides, in 56 the site of the Bank of China and the harbor, there were already a few
buildings over 70 meters tall 57 views.

architectural tower design that was simple, 59 , innovative, and upon its completion, the tallest
building outside of America and the fourth tallest in the world.
After the Bank of China officially moved into the tower in 1991, famous architect and critic Peter
Blake visited the building, and 60 it to be “probably the most innovative skyscraper structure built
anywhere to date.” Now the tower has become one of the most important cultural icons for Hong Kong.

C。
35．主旨大意题。通读全文，结合最后一段的“It is important to remember, though, that the pursuit of machines with theory
of mind is about more than just building more useful robots. It is also a stepping stone on the path towards a deeper goal
for AI and robotics research: building truly self-aware machines. (然而，重要的是要记住，追求具有思维理论的机器
不仅仅是为了制造更有用的机器人。这也是迈向人工智能和机器人研究更深层目标的垫脚石：建造真正有自我意
