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 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 3 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 4 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 5 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 D 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 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人空白处的最佳选项 选项中有两项为多余选项 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 6 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
