29、 Below are four books of the 10 Best Books of 2019. Which one will you add to your booklist?Exhalation （呼吸）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 explain

30、s scientific theory to you without an ounce of condescension （傲慢）.Each thoughtful, elegantly crafted story poses a philosophical question; Chiang organizes all nine into a conversation that comes full circle, after having travelled remarkab1e val1eys ，, deserts and plains.Lost Children Archivef(档案）)

31、）By Valeria Luiselli The Mexican authors third novel her first to be written in English unfolds against a backdrop of crisis: of children crossing borders, facing death, being confined, being deported unaccompanied by their guardians.The novel centers on a couple and their two children, who are taki

32、ng a road trip from New York City to the Mexican border; the couple's marriage is on the edge of collapse and the woman tries to help a Mexican immigrant find her daughters, who've gone missing in their attempt to cross the border behind her. The brilliance of Luiselli's writing stirs an

33、ger and pity. Acutely sensitive, Luiselli has delivered an experimental book, one that is as much about storytellers and storytelling as it is about lost children.The Yellow HouseBy Sarah Broom In her first extraordinary, fascinating appearance, Broom pushes past the baseline expectations of memoir

34、to create an entertaining and inventive combination of literary forms. Part oral history, part urban history, part celebration of a bygone way of life, "The Yellow House" is a full accusation of the greed, discrimination, indifference and poor city planning that led her family's home t

35、o be wiped off the map. Tracing the history of a single home in New Orleans East, from the ' 60s to Hurricane Katrina, this is an instantly essential text, examining the past, present and possible future of the city of New Orleans, and a true reflection of America.No Visible BruisesBy Rachel Lou

36、ise Snyder Snyder's thoroughly reported book covers what the World Health Organization has called "a global health problem of epidemic proportions."  In America alone, morethan half of all murdered women are killed by a current or former partner; domestic violence cuts across line

37、s of class, religion and race. Snyder exposes myths (restraining orders are the answer,: abusers never change) and writes movingly about the lives 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.36If you are

38、 a fan of science fiction, which book will you choose?AExhalation Lost           BChildren ArchiveCThe Yellow House           DNo Visible Bruises37According to the passage, which of the following sent

39、ences is TRUE?AIn the book Exhalation, Ted Chiang describes a story told by his friend.BLost Children Archive is Valeria Luiselli's first novel in English.CSeveral stories of literary forms make up the book, The Yellow House.DNo Visible Bruises shows nothing but restraining orders are answers to

40、 family violence.2、     You are about to hear a strange but true story. Legend has it that, Harry Houdini, the master magician, once claimed that he could break out of any jail cell in the world. All he had to do was walk into that jail cell with his street clothes on. 'I will be

41、out of there in one hour. No problem!' He said. A very old jail down South heard about Houdini's claims and they accepted the challenge. On the day of the event, many people gathered outside. Very confidently, Houdini walked into the jail and into the cell and they shut the metal door behind

42、 him.The first thing Houdini did was to take off his coat. Then, very strangely, he took off his belt. Secretly hidden in Houdini's belt, was a ten-inch piece of steel; very tough and very flexible and Houdini started working.In about 30 minutes, that confident expression Houdini had when he wal

43、ked in disappeared. In one hour, he was bathed in sweat. And at the end of two hours, Houdini in defeat, collapsed against the door, which then opened. It opened because you see, that door had never been locked. But that's not entirely true is it? That door was locked. It was firmly and thorough

44、ly locked in Houdini's mind, which meant it was locked as if the best locksmith in the world had put his lock on it.The mind is powerful. How many doors in your life do you think are locked but aren't? how many times have you been stuck in the mental prison of over thinking something that re

45、ally had a simple solution. There is an ancient African proverb that says when there is no enemy within, the enemy outside can do us no harm.Your mind is the most powerful force you will ever face. It will tell you lies. It will tell you can't do that. You're not meant for that. You're n

46、ot good enough for that. You can't go on anymore. You don't have the energy. You must thank it for its opinion and carry on. Because as Houdini showed us the only locked doors that exist are in your own mind. The doors in reality are open and all you have to do is walk through.38Why couldn&#

47、39;t Harry Houdini open the door within two hours?ABecause he didn't open the door with his mind.BBecause the door was locked by the best locksmith.CBecause he had thought the door was locked.DBecause he overestimated his own ability to open the door.39Which of the following story shows the &quo

48、t;locked door," in our mind?ABring the painted dragon to life by putting in the pupils of its eyes.BOne tends to stand still and refuse to make progress.CThe donkey has exhausted its skills against the tiger.DLock the stable door after the horse has been stolen.40We can conclude from the passag

49、e EXCEPT ?AThe biggest enemy in your life is in fact the enemy in your mind.BIf you walk through the door in mind, your potential will be unlimited.CUnless you defeat the enemy outside, you will not defeat your enemy inside.DLife is really simple, but we insist on making it rigid and complicated.3、

50、    “Without trust,” writes Rachel Botsman, “society cannot survive, and it certainly cannot thrive."Clearly, we are in trouble. Two-thirds of people surveyed last year in 28 countries expressed low levels of trust in "mainstream institutions" of business, government an

51、d media.In “Who Can You Trust?” Botsman, an Oxford lecturer offers a timely and accessible framework for understanding what trust is, how it works, why it matters and how it is evolving. It is an important guidance to the obstacles and opportunities we face as a society if we are to repair and redef

52、ine trust.Through human history, trust has evolved in three basic stages: Local trust was enough when people lived in small communities and everybody knew everybody else; industrialization and urbanization required institutional trust so that people could trust complete strangers running governments

53、, corporations, and standards for international trade, commerce and finance. We are now living through a massive global .shift of trust from institutions to individuals: distributed trust facilitated by high-tech platforms, many of which are run by the private sector.This shift is caused by several

54、factors. First, accountability is unequal. Rich, powerful and well-connected individuals have been able to accumulate vast quantities of often undocumented wealth by avoiding tax and anti-bribery laws, while ordinary people are likely to be caught and punished for lawbreaking. Second, people in powe

55、r are no longer seen to deserve greater respect as the details of their lives are exposed.Botsman does not prescribe how we deal with that. But if the old ways of giving and cancelling trust such as voting, markets and consumer choice are no longer functioning, then we must change or replace them. S

56、ystems must be "driven democratically and rationally," become more "transparent, inclusive, and accountable" and, most important, be designed to "put people first," which profit-driven platforms have failed to do sufficiently.Tech executives are responding to the trust

57、crisis mainly with promises of more and better technology. But Batsman warns that the responsibility for ensuring that the robots being used are trustworthy lies with the human beings who design and use them. We have not thought through how we hold those people accountable, let alone their robots. S

58、he warns against a natural tendency "to become over-reliant on machines." Ideally machines should be programmed to "understand" their own limitations and even seek human help or intervention.A growing number of people hope that new trust mechanisms can be established through the

59、use of exciting new technologies such as the blockchain（区块链）. In essence, blockchains are digital public ledgers of transactions that cannot be changed, thereby creating greater transparency and accountability and making corruption much harder.However, Botsman warns that the blockchain is no panacea

60、 for human trust. Whether blockchain systems lead to more accountable governance and a more just global economy will depend on their design and the intentions of those who build them. There is no app for fixing trust."Who Can You Trust?" does make a clear case for why it is important for t

61、he companies, governments and other institutions to be much more transparent and subject themselves to new mechanisms that can credibly hold them accountable. It is the only way they can hope to earn and maintain trust in the future.41Which of the following orders of trust evolution is right?Ainstit

62、utional trust industrialized trust individual trustBurbanized trust local trust institutional trustClocal trust institutional trust distributed trustDlocal trust urbanized trust individual trust42What can we conclude from the passage?AProfit-driven platforms pay no attention to the importance of peo

63、ple.BIt is the people who design and use technology that count in restoring trust.CNew technologies, such as the blockchain can prevent corruption from happening.DPeople should rely on new technologies to create transparency and accountability.43What do the underlined words “no panacea" mean?An

66、ill rolled his eyes. "You worry too much, Honey. Me and the boys will be OK. It's just a three day trip. We'll catch enough halibut to be able to fix up the baby's room the way you want it." '"Billy, I love you and worry every time you go to sea, especially in winter.&

67、quot;"Shell, I promise I'll be careful. I may be the youngest captain in this port, but I'm the most careful. I learned at the helm of Daddy's boat, which I was practically raised on."They hugged again. Bill planted a tender kiss on her cheek, rested his open palm on her slight

68、ly swollen stomach, "Besides, I need to be here. Little Billy will need his daddy." Shelly slapped him on the shoulder. "It's Billy Jean and you know it.”Bill laughed, "Not on my watch, Girl. I gave you a boy to take over as captain."Their laughter broke the tension. &qu

69、ot;I have to go, Shell. See you in a few days?" He turned to leave and then turned back, reached into the pocket of his heavy coat and pulled out an envelope."I almost forgot. Here's my letter?"Shelly took the crisp envelope and slipped into the pocket of her dress. "Thanks，Billy.” It had been their custom since they started dating. Billy gave her a note before he went to sea. She wasn't allowed to open it until the next day. He usually wrote of love or sometimes something sil
