I am proud to be a member of two cultures. Even though I am only ten years old, I have lived in two countries and in two cultures. I have lived in both Mexico and the United States.
I was born in the state of Michoacán. I was born in a small town called Quinceo. Life there was simple and peaceful. There was a small market where we would go on Sundays. There was a corral where we would go and watch rodeos. After school, my friends and I would go for a swim in a creek. My mom did not work; she stayed at home taking care of our family. Life in Quinceo was nice, but money was sometimes not enough to support us.
In 1996, the day came when my dad decided to bring us to the United States. Leaving my town was hard, but it was important that my family stay together. When I left Mexico, I had a lot of special friends and nice teachers.
When I first came to the United States, I started at a new school in Chicago. I found care and company at the school, among Hispanic people, my friends, and my teacher. She helped me all the time.
My education now is different from the one in Mexico. Here, I am studying in two languages. I feel very happy because I am able to communicate in two languages. In my case, speaking Spanish is an indication of my Mexican heritage. Speaking English is a symbol of my triumph and the struggles that I have as an immigrant in this country. Now that I have been here three years, I am proud to offer my help and support to people who need it.

When you really love a book, or have just scored a new one that you’re dying t o read, it can be exciting to pick up a smooth, shiny hardcover copy that creaks a little bit when you open it. But those hardcover books can be heavy, and new ones aren’t cheap, either. Sometimes, you’d just rather have a portable paperback—but if it’s a new book you’re after, you might have to wait a full year or so to get it in paperback form. Why are books released as hardcovers first?
Not so long ago, hardcover books were the only type of books. Before the appearance of mass production, print runs were limited, and books were hard-bound and expensive. Around the 1930s, that changed with the production of mass-produced paperback books, which consisted with a huge surge in reading as a leisure activity around World War II. Paperback books were more affordable and cheaper to produce, which still holds true today.
Despite the seeming advantages of paperbacks, there are several reasons why the hardcover has persisted. Because of its history, it conveys a bit more legitimacy (正统性) in the book world than the paperback does.” The hardback is a mark of quality…it shows booksellers and reviewers that this is a book worth paying attention to,” Philip Jones, editor at the Bookseller, explains to The Guardian.
But the major reason why books come out as hardeovers is that people buy them, despite their higher cost. The Economist compares it to movies being released in theaters several months before they arrive on DVD. “Just as film fans like to see films on the big screen, collectors en joy the hardback’s superior quality,” according to The Economist. And because they’re profitable, publishers can gain more from hardcovers, which “will often sell at twice the price of their paperback equivalent but do not cost twice as much to produce,” J ones explains.
8 What can we learn about hardcover books from paragraph1?
A. They appeal to real book-lovers.
B. They are heavy but not expensive.
C. They take a long time to come out.
D. They are not preferred by book-lovers.
9. What does the underlined w ord “surge” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Drop.
B. Success.
C. Blow.
D. Increase.
10. Why are hardback books still printed today?
A. They are brilliantly edited.
B. They are worth collecting.
C. They convey correct information.
D. They sell better than paperbacks.
11. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To introduce hardcover books.
B. To present a new social finding.
C. To explain a confusing problem.
D. To encourage people to read books.
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. B 11. C
【解析】
本文是一篇说明文。精装书比平装书更贵，但是为什么书籍首先以精装书的形式发行呢？文章主要就此现象解释了精装书和平装书演变的历史，以及如今仍印刷精装书的原因。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中When you really love a book, or have just scored a new one that you’re dying to read, it can be exciting to pick up a smooth, shiny hardcover copy that creaks a little bit when you open it.可知当你真的很喜欢一本书，或者刚刚得到一本你非常想读的新书时，拿起一本光滑、闪亮的精装书是一件令人兴奋的事情，当你打开它的时候，它会吱吱作响。由此可知，精装书吸引了真正的图书爱好者。故选A。
【9题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线词上文Around the 1930s, that changed with the production of mass-produced paperback books以及后文in reading as a leisure activity around World War II可知大约在20世纪30年代，随着大量生产的平装书的生产，加上在第二次世界大战前后，将阅读作为一种休闲活动的人数量增多了，所以都是精装书的情况发生了变化。由此可知，划线词意思为“增加”。A. Drop.落下；B. Success.成功；C. Blow.吹；D. Increase.增加。故选D。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Just as film fans like to see films on the big screen, collectors enjoy the hardback’s superior quality,” according to The Economist.可知《经济学人》称：“就像影迷喜欢在大屏幕上看电影一样，收藏者也喜欢精装书的高品质。”由此可知，精装书到今天还在印刷，因为它们值得收藏。故选B。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句Why are books released as hardcovers first?可知为什么书籍首先以精装书的形式发行？结合文章说明了精装书比平装书更贵，但是为什么书籍首先以精装书的形式发行呢？文章主要就此现象解释了精装书和平装书演变的历史，以及如今仍印刷精装书的原因。由此可推知，这篇文章的主要目的是为了解释一个令人困惑的问题。故选C。
D
Never play games with a bot(robot)—it will find a way to cheat if it can. A team from OpenAI, an artificial intelligence lab in San Francisco, has developed artificially intelligent bots that taught themselves to cooperate by playing hide-and-seek. The bots also learned how to use basic tools to help them win.
Bowen Baker at Open AI and his colleagues wanted to see if the team-based dynamics of the OpenAI Five could be used to produce skills that could one day be useful to humans.
The researchers set their bots loose in a simulated (模拟的) environment filled with fixed walls, movable boxes and ladders, and left them to play team games of hide-and-seek. The bots each had their own view of the world and
couldn’t communicate with each other directly.
At first, the hiders simply ran away. But they soon worked out that the quickest way to stop the seekers was to find objects in the environment to hide themselves from view. The seekers learned that they could move boxes around and use them to climb over walls. The bots then discovered that being a team-player -passing objects to each other or cooperating on a hideout -was the quickest way to win.
But the real surprise came when the bots started making use of problems or faults. Seekers found that if they pushed a ladder towards a wall they could launch themselves into the air and spot hiders from above. Hiders found that they could get rid of the ladders by pushing them aside.
It shows that AIs are able to find solutions that humans miss, says Baker. “Maybe they’ll even be able to solve problems that humans don’t yet know how to.” However, it is a large leap (跳跃) from virtual hide and seek to real problem-solving. “The main limitation is that it is in simulation,” says Chelsea Finn at Stanford University.
12. Why did Bowen and his colleagues conduct the research?
A. To teach bots to play games.
B. To train bots to use basic tools.
C. To find if bots may cheat like humans.
D. To see the potential of robots cooperation.
13. What’s the third paragraph mainly about?
A. The tools of the research.
B. The design of the research.
C. The competitors of the game.
D. The environment of the game.
14. What does the underlined word “It” in the last paragraph refer to?
A. Passing objects.
B. Moving boxes around.
C. Making use of faults.
D. Hiding themselves from view.
15. What does Chelsea think of the finding of the research?
A. It can bridge a gap in the AI research.
B. It will not be influenced by the real world.
C. It will definitely help the real problem-solving.
D. It may not be realized out of the virtual world.
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. D
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了来自旧金山人工智能实验室OpenAI的一个团队开发出了通过玩捉迷藏自学合作的人工智能机器人，这些机器人还学会了如何使用基本工具来帮助自己获胜。文章介绍了他们进行这项研究的原因、他们的研究设计和研究结果表明机器人利用问题或缺陷能够找到人类所忽略的解决方案。【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段Bowen Baker at Open AI and his colleagues wanted to see if the team-based dynamics of the OpenAI Five could be used to produce skills that could one day be useful to humans.可知OpenAI的Bowen
Baker和他的同事们想看看OpenAI 5的团队合作能力能否被用来产生将来对人类有用的技能。由此可知，Bowen和他的同事进行这项研究，是为了看机器人合作的潜力。故选D。
【13题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段The researchers set their bots loose in a simulated (模拟的) environment filled with fixed walls, movable boxes and ladders, and left them to play team games of hide-and-seek. The bots each had their own view of the world and couldn’t communicate with each other directly.可知研究人员将他们的机器人置于一个充满固定墙壁、可移动的盒子和梯子的模拟环境中，让它们玩团队捉迷藏游戏。每个机器人都有自己的世界观，不能直接与对方交流。由此可知，第三段主要讲了研究设计。故选B。
【14题详解】
词义猜测题。根据倒数第二段But the real surprise came when the bots started making use of problems or faults. Seekers found that if they pushed a ladder towards a wall, they could launch themselves into the air and spot hiders from above. Hiders found that they could get rid of the ladders by pushing them aside.可知但真正令人惊讶的是，当机器人开始利用问题或缺陷。搜索者发现，如果他们把梯子推到墙上，他们就能跳到空中，从上面找到躲藏者。躲藏者发现他们可以把梯子推到一边来摆脱它们。由此可知，机器人利用问题或故障的行为，表明人工智能能够找到人类所忽略的解决方案。即it指的是“利用缺陷”。故选C。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“The main limitation is that it is in simulation,” says Chelsea Finn at Stanford University.可知斯坦福大学的Chelsea Finn表示：“主要的限制在于它处于模拟状态。”由此可推知，Chelsea 认为这项研究的发现在虚拟世界之外可能无法实现。故选D。
第二节(共5小题)
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
So often we find ourselves on autopilot—waking up in the same home putting on the same clothes and taking the same transportation to the same-old job.____16____And while it’s perfectly natural for humans to stick to routine, there’s much to be discovered beyond the limits of our comfort zon es.
There is no exception to a man aged 53.____17____He knew it was going to be hard to find another job. He also knew it was now or never to pursue his lifelong dream of owning his own restaurant. But he was too old to compete with the young and too weak to do any labor work.
____18____He didn’t want to spend his rest life sitting around and feeling pity for himself. Also, Mrs. Mockenhaupt actively encouraged him to move on, considering it a perfect chance for two of them to start their own business with plenty of time and without the disturbance of children.
____19____Brian found just what he wanted eight blocks from home—an existing cafe that was
underperforming and whose owner was highly motivated to get out of his lease (租期).____20____But the problem was that he had never financially planned for this day. He had to borrow money from friends and relatives. After that, he changed the name to Black Dog Coffee, and made it alive again. Eighteen years later, they’re still there and doing better than ever. Brian says he’s extremely grateful for the decision to make a change.
A. Then came the opportunity.
B. The thought filled him with anxiety.
C. That was exactly what Brian needed.
D. Even our New Year’s decisions to change hard ly make it.
E. With the support of his family he took a job in the local cafe.
F. Several weeks after consideration, he decided to have a change.
G. Brian Mockenhaupt got laid off from a senior management position.
【答案】16. D 17. G 18. F 19. A 20. C
【解析】
这是一篇记叙文。虽然对人类来说，循规蹈矩是再自然不过的事情，但在我们的舒适区之外，还有很多东西有待发现。文章主要记叙了53岁被迫下岗的Brian Mockenhaupt选择做出改变，在家人的支持下，开始经营一家咖啡馆的故事。
【16题详解】
根据上文So often we find ourselves on autopilot—waking up in the same home, putting on the same clothes and taking the same transportation to the same-old job.可知所以，我们经常发现自己处于自动驾驶状态——在同一个家里醒来，穿上同样的衣服，乘坐同样的交通工具去做同样的工作。由此可知，本句承接上文说明，人们总是在重复相同的事情，所以做出改变的决定往往变得很难实现。故D选项“即使我们在新年做出改变的决定也很难实现”符合语境，故选D。
【17题详解】
根据后文He knew it was going to be hard to find another job.可知他知道再找一份工作会很困难。由此可知，本句应当是在说明某一个人下岗失去了工作的事情，结合下一段中Also, Mrs. Mockenhaupt actively encouraged him to move on, considering it a perfect chance for two of them to start their own business with plenty of time and without the disturbance of children.( Mockenhaupt太太也积极鼓励他向前看，认为这是他们俩人开创自己事业的绝佳机会，有足够的时间，没有孩子的打扰)可知这个人就是Brian Mockenhaupt。故G选项“Brian Mockenhaupt从一个高级管理职位上下岗了”符合语境，故选G。
【18题详解】
根据后文He didn’t want to spend his rest life sitting around and feeling pity for himself. Also, Mrs. Mockenhaupt actively encouraged him to move on, considering it a perfect chance for two of them to start their own business with plenty of time and without the disturbance of children.可知他不想让自己的下半生无所事事地可怜自己。Mockenhaupt太太也积极鼓励他继续生活，认为这是他们俩人开创自己事业的绝佳机会，有足够的时间，没有孩子的打扰。由此可知，Brian Mockenhaupt决定做出一些改变，因为他不想让自己的下半生无所事事地可怜自己。故F选项“经过几个星期的考虑，他决定改变一下”符合语境，故选F。
【19题详解】
根据后文Brian found just what he wanted eight blocks from home—an existing cafe that was underperforming and whose owner was highly motivated to get out of his lease (租期).可知Brian在离他家8个街区的地方找到了他想要的东西——一家现有的咖啡馆，该咖啡馆的业绩不佳，其老板想要解除租约。由此可知，上一段提到Brian 想要改变一下，后文提到有一家咖啡馆想要解除租约，说明Brian改变的机会来了。故A选项“机会来了”符合语境，故选A。
【20题详解】
根据上文Brian found just what he wanted eight blocks from home—an existing cafe that was underperforming and whose owner was highly motivated to get out of his lease (租期).(Brian在离他家8个街区的地方找到了他想要的东西——一家现有的咖啡馆，该咖啡馆的业绩不佳，其老板想要解除租约)以及后文But the problem was that he had never financially planned for this day. He had to borrow money from friends and relatives.(但问题是，他从来没有为这一天做过财务计划。他不得不向亲戚朋友借钱)由此可知，离家不远就有咖啡馆可以接手，这正是渴望改变的Brian所需要的的。后文他向亲戚朋友借钱也说明他想要租下咖啡馆。故C选项“这正是Brian 所需要的”符合语境，故选C。
