The proverb “He who has never been to the Great wal l is not a true man.” is about the Great wall.The Great wall of China was built during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods and rebuilt in the Ming D yna sty to defend against enemies. Meanwhile, the Great Wall is one of the seven great wonders in the world, which is considered as a symbol of the Chinese people’s wisd om. Actually, climbing it needs courage, determination and other good qualities. Therefore, if you manage to climb it, it shows that you are equipped with those qualities as this proverb puts it.I sincerely invite you to come to China to visit the Great wall.Looking forward to your early reply.Yours,Li Hua。

AIt was a winter morning, just a couple of weeks before Christmas 2005. While most people were warming up their cars，Trevor，my husband，had to get up early to ride his bike four kilometers away from home to work。

On arrival, he parked his bike outside the back door as he usually does. After putting in 10 hours of labor，he returned to find his bike gone。

The bike，a black Kona 18 speed, was our only transport。

Trevor used it to get to work, putting in 60-hour weeks to support his young family. And the bike was also used to get groceries, saving us from having to walk long distances from where we live。

I was so sad that someone would steal our bike that I wrote to the newspaper and told them our story. Shortly after that, several people in our area offered to help. One wonderful stranger even bought a bike，then called my husband to pick it up。

AThe beginning of the 21st century saw a revolution in home living with new technology changing the places where we live, from the internet to flat TV screens, and it seems technology could be changing our homes again. A project conducted by Johann Siau, Senior Lecturer at the University of Hertfordshire’s School of Engineering and Technology, has built on the university’s InterHome project –aiming to create a home that supervises people living at home who are weak or elderly. The interhome“We’ve developed a wristband type device,” said Johann Siau, “which allows us to monitor the condition of an elderly person, or whoever is wearing the device. It allows us to collect data of a person, to see if the person has fallen or is away from where they are supposed to be. It connects an elderly person with an assisted living type device with the InterHome.” The assisted living project is part of the university’s wider InterHome project, which is the development of a smart house. The house stores the usage patterns of the person living there and can adapt to make it use as little energy as possible. “Connecting the two together and building the service element allow us to introduce the assisted-living idea to care for the elderly. It’s very importantthat these technologies are there to help and support rather than to replace any of the existing services.”Built from zeroThe InterHome is not just a prototype or a vehicle for research, it’s a study tool to help students from different scientific backgrounds learn about and develop technology. The InterHome combines the latest broadband technology, mobile data and communication. Researchers and students make sure all the technology works together.Students get experience by developing new hardware and software themselves. It requires a variety of skills from students –electronic engineers, computer students, design students and so on. “The present plan we are working on is a smart home project in Watford with some commercial companies,” said Johann Siau. “We are looking at how a smarter home can provide extra value services.”21. The main purpose of this article is to______.A. introduce a new kind of technology to help people enjoy a better lifeB. describe a new platform for students to develop new technologyC. show how future buildings wil l change elderly people’s way of lifeD. describe a new project that aims to develop a smart home for elderly22.The underlined word “supervises”in the first paragraph is closest in meaningto______.A. Watches overB. gives support toC. directsD. comforts23. According to the article, the Interhome project______.A. does all the work the existing services doB. aims to provide better care and services for the elderC. develop houses that mainly aim to save energyD. calls for students to care for old peopleBWhen you think of a typical American, who do you picture?A pretty blond white American like Taylor Swift? Or a handsome black American like basketball star Kobe Bryant? In fact, there was a time when the average American looked like neither of these people.Back in the year 1500, the average American was a brown-skinned hunter-gatherer who probably rode a horse and wore clothing made from animal skins. T oday, these people －who usually identify themselves based on their individual tribes such as Iriquois, Apache and Navajo－are broadly referred to as “Native Americans”, “AmericanIndians” or simply “Indians”.There’s a chance that you’ve never even heard of American Indians. That?s because there aren’t very many left. When the European settlement of North America began, there were fierce conflicts between the settlers from overseas and these native peoples. After the British government and military were expelled (驱逐) in the Revolutionary War, conflicts with natives continued as the states were created that would later make up the US. In these conflicts, millions of natives were killed.In 1830, president Andrew Jackson signed the Indian Removal Act. This act required all Indians to migrate to the westof the Mississippi River to allow for the expansion of the US. American Indians were treated as a military “enemy” until 1924, when the few Indians still alive at that point were granted （准予）US citizenship. That was the first time that the US government formally recognized the rights of Indians.While the story of the American Indians has been a sad one, these peoples’legacies (遗产) are still felt every day in the US. Many US geographical names come from Indian languages, such as Ohio, T opeka, Kansas, and the Potomac River. At the same time, there are numerous successful academics and other important US leaders who are descended（是……的后裔）from Indians. And nowadays, more and more history classes in US public schools are educating students about how Indians suffered during the settlement of the US.Although what happened cannot be undone, we can learn at least one thing from the sad history of the Indians: If we want a better future, we must look carefully and honestly at the past.24.What is the article mainly about?A.The history of the settement of the US.B. What a typical American is like.C. The sad story of American Indians.D. American Indians? economic impact on the US.25.It can be inferred from the article that in the middle of the 19th century,American Indians______.A.were driven from the US by the British government。

AHomestay provides English language students with the opportunity to speak English outside the classroom and the experience of being part of a British home.What to ExpectThe host will provide accommodation and meals. Rooms will be cleaned and bedcovers changed at least once a week. You will be given the house key and the host is there to offer help and advice as well as to take an interest in your physical and mental health.Accommodation ZonesHomestays are located in London mainly in Zones 2 } 3 and 4 of the transport system. Most hosts do not live in the town centre as much of central London is commercial and not residential(居住的).Zones 3 and 4 often offer larger accommodation in a less crowded area. It is very convenient to travel in London by Underground.Meal Plans Available◇Continental Breakfast◇Breakfast and Dinner◇Breakfast, Packed Lunch and DinnerIt's important to note that few English families still provide a traditional cooked breakfast. Your accommodation includes Continental Breakfast which normally consists of fruit juice, cereal, bread and tea or coffee. Cheese, fruit and cold meat are not normally part of a Continental Breakfast in England. Dinners usually consist of meat or fish with vegetables followed by dessert, fruit and coffee.FriendsIf you wish to invite a friend over to visit, you must first ask your host's permission. You have no right to entertain friends in a family home as some families feel it is an invasion of their privacy.Self-Catering Accommodation in Private HomesAccommodation on a room-only basis includes shared kitchen and bathroom facilities and often a main living room. This kind of accommodation offers an independent lifestyle and is more suitable for the long-stay student. However, it does not provide the same family atmosphere as an ordinary homestay and may not benefit those who need to practise English at home quite as much.21. The passage is probably written for_.A. hosts willing to receive foreign studentsB. foreigners hoping to build British cultureC. English learners applying to live in English homesD. travelers planning to visit families in London22. According to the passage, what does continental Breakfast include?A. Dessert and coffee.B. Bread and fruit juice.C. Fruit and vegetables.D. Cereal and cold meat.23. Why do some people choose self-catering accommodation?A. To experience a warmer family atmosphere.B. To enrich their knowledge of English.C. To entertain friends as they like.D. To enjoy much more freedom.BMillions of people pass through the gates of Disney's entertainment parks in California, Florida and Japan each year. What makes these places an almost universal attraction? What makes foreign kings and queens and other important people want to visit these Disney parks? Well, one reason is the way they're treated once they get there. The people at Disney go out of their way to serve their "guests"，as they prefer to call them, and to see that they enjoy themselves.All new employees, from vice presidents to part-time workers, begin their employment by attending Disney University and taking "Traditions P'. Here, they learn about the company's history,how it is managed, and why it is successful. They are shown how each department relates to the whole. All employees are shown how their part is important in making the park a success.After passing "Traditions I"，the employees go on to do more specialized training for their specific jobs. No detail is missed. A simple job like taking tickets requires four eight-hour days of training. When one ticket taker was asked why it took so much training for such a simple, ordinary job, he replied, "What happens if someone wants to know where the restrooms are, when the parade starts or what bus to take back to the campgrounds? We need to know the answers or where to get them quickly. Our constant aim is to help our guests enjoy the party."Even Disney's managers get involved in the daily management of the park. Every year, the managers leave their desks and business suits and put on special service clothes. For a full week, the bosses sell hot dogs or ice cream, take tickets or drive the monorail(单轨车)，and take up any of the 100 jobs that make the entertainment park come alive. The managers agree that this week helps them to see the company's goals more clearly.All these efforts to serve the public well have made Walt Disney Productions famous. Disney is considered by many as the best mass service provider in America or the world. As one long-time business observer once said, "How Disney treats people, communicates with them, rewards them, is in my view the very reason for his great success. I have watched, very carefully and with great respect and admiration, the theory and practice of selling satisfaction and serving millions of people on a daily basis successfully. It is what Disney does best."24. The first day they come to Disney parks, all new employees_______.A. begin by receiving on-the-job training B .must learn several jobsC .begin as ticket takers D. have already attended Disney University year, managers wear special service clothes and work in the park to______.A. set a good example for employeesB .remind themselves of their beginnings at DisneyC .gain a better view of the company's objectivesD .replace employees on holiday26. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. Tourists learn the history of Disney in its entertainment parks.B .Disney attracts people almost from all over the world.C .Parades are regularly held in Disney's entertainment parks.D·Disney's managers are able to do almost all kinds of work in the Disney parks.27 .This passage is mainly about_______.A. how Disney employees are trainedB .the history and traditions of the Disney enterprisesC .why Disney enterprises make a lot of moneyD .the importance Disney places on serving people wellCFred Michel is one of million Americans who moonlight. Once a week, after his day job as medical director of a mental health center, the 40-year-old psychiatrist heads to a part-time job at a treatment center for young people. Twice a month, he travels three hours to another teenage treatment center.Last year, percent of the American workforce held second jobs, according to the US Labor Department, and that looks set to increase this year.Many workers like the safety that moonlighting provides, says Carl Hausman, the writer of "Moonlighting: 148 Great Ways to Make Money on the Side."The information from the US Labor Department shows that 40 percent of US moonlighters take a second job to meet household expenses or pay off debts. Others save money or buy some special things.People also take second jobs with an eye to the future一wanting to try out a new field or gain expemence.Michel started moonlighting when medical systems were unstable. He wanted to make sure he wasn't tied to one system that ended up failing.Just as the purposes for moonlighting vary, the moonlighters cross all ages and racial groups. And they work in a variety of industries--- no longer just service, office and sale jobs."Technology just affects your ability to make money," Hausman says, "that makes a frequent change in moonlighting."As its name means, moonlighting still occurs mostly at night. And that results in some among them is time.Full-time employers could misunderstand, too. Some companies do not allow after-hour work because they fear it will affect their employees' 9-to-5 performance."The primary employer is saying, `Wait, I'm paying you for the sharp, fresh, energetic you,"' says Tom Gimbel, president and founder of LaSalle Staffing in Chicago. "If you're burning yourself at both ends, it's going to show."Still, the good done to the moonlighters can be great. Besides extra income, moonlighters enjoy variety, freedom and chance to do something new. They may also find their part-time jobs strengthen what they do full time.Besides, "it's fun," Michel says. Not only do his part-time jobs offer a chance to network, stretch his professional skills and make more money, but they also give him the variety he wouldn't find just in a full-time job."It's a way of pulling from the spice cabinet" he says, "and offering a little variety throughout the day."28. The reason why Fred Michel began to moonlight is that_______.A. he found it exciting to do a part-time jobB .he needed to make ends meet with more moneyC .he feared he would lose his present job one dayD. he felt more and more pressure from his employer29 .Some companies don't allow their workers to moonlight because they are afraidA. their workers can not do extra-hour work for themB .their workers will be too tired to try their best at workC .their workers will one day turn to some other different jobsD. their workers will not get to work and be off work on time30. The underlined sentence "It's a way of pulling from the spice cabinet." in the last paragraphmeansA. moonlighting gets you away from the job you don't enjoyB .moonlighting offers you freedom to make extra moneyC .moonlighting strengthens your professional skillsD. moonlighting brings you chances to do something different31 .What is the article mainly about?A. The ways of moonlighting. B .The reasons for moonlighting.C .The problems with moonlighting. D. The kinds of people who moonlight.DOceanography has been defined as "The application of all sciences to the study of the sea". Before the nineteenth century, scientists with an interest in the sea were few and far between. Certainly Newton considered some theoretical aspects of it in his writings, but he was unwilling to go to sea to further his work.For most people the sea was remote, and with the exception of early intercontinental travelers or others who earned a living from the sea, there was little reason to ask many questions about it, let alone to ask what lay beneath the surface. The first time that the question "What is at the bottom of the oceans?" had to be answered with any commercial consequence was when the laying of a telegraph cable(电缆)from Europe to America was proposed. The engineers had to know the depth profile(起伏形状)of the route to estimate the length of cable that had to be made.It was to Maury of the US Navy that the Atlantic Telegraph Company turned, in 1853, for information on this matter. In the 1840s, Maury had been responsible for encouraging voyages during which soundings(测深)were taken to investigate the depths of the North Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Later, some of his findings aroused much popular interest in his book ---The Physical Geography of the Sea.The cable was laid, but not until 1866 was the connection made permanent and reliable. At theearly attempts, the cable failed and when it was taken out for repairs it was found to be covered in living growths, a fact which defied contemporary scientific opinion that there was no life in the deeper parts of the sea.Within a few years oceanography was under way. In 1872 Thomson led a scientific expedition,which lasted for four years and brought home thousands of samples from the sea. Their classification and analysis occupied scientists for years and led to a five-volume report, the last volume being published in 1895.32. The passage implies that the telegraph cable was built mainly________.A. for oceanographic studies B .for military purposesC .for business considerations D. for investigating the depths of the oceansaim of voyages Maury encouraged in the 1840s was_________.A. to make some sound experiments in the oceansB .to collect samples of sea plants and animalsC .to estimate the length of cable that was to be madeD .to measure the depths of the two oceans34. The underlined word "defied" in the 4Th paragraph probably means_A. doubted B .challenged C .gave proof to D .agreed to35 .The theme of this passage is about__A .the beginnings of oceanography laying of the first undersea cableC .the investigation of ocean depthsD .the early intercontinental communications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入空白处的最佳选项。

AA little old couple walked slowly into McDonald’s one cold winter evening. They were so old that they looked out of place amid the young families and young couples eating there that night. Some of the customers looked admiringly at them. You could tell what the admirers were thinking. “Look, there is a couple who has been through a lot together, probably for 60 years or more!”The little old man walked right up to the cash register, placed his order with no hesitation and then paid for their meal. The couple took a table near the back wall and started taking food off the tray. There was one hamburger, one order of French fries and one drink. The little old man unwrapped the plain hamburger and carefully cut it in half. He placed one half in front of his wife. Then he carefully counted out the French fries, divided them in two piles and neatly placed one pile in front of his wife. He took a sip of the drink, his wife took a sip and then set the cup down between them.As the man began to eat his few bites of hamburger, the crowd began to get restless. Again you could tell what they were thinking, “That poor old cou ple. All they can afford is one meal for the two of them.”As the man began to eat his French fries, one young man stood and came over to the old couple’s table. He politely offered to buy another meal for the old couple to eat. The old man replied that they were just fine. They were used to sharing everything.Then the crowd noticed that the little old lady hadn’t eaten a bite. She just sat there watching her husband eat and occasionally taking turns sipping the drink.Again the young man came over and begged them to let him buy them something to eat. This time the lady explained that, no, they were used to sharing everything together.As the little old man finished eating and was wiping his face neatly with a napkin, the young mancould stand it no longer. Again he came over to their table and offered to buy some food.After being politely refused again, he finally asked a question of the little old lady. “Ma’am, why aren’t you eating? You said that you share everything. What is it that you are waiting for?”She answered, “The teeth”.21. The underlined phrase in the first paragraph most probably means __________.A. looked helplessB. looked romanticC. looked cheerfulD. looked unsuitable22. Why did some of the customers admire them?A. Because they walked in hand in handB. Because they came to McDonald’s togetherC. Because they had been together for many yearsD. Because they came in such a cold winter evening23. How much food did the man get?A. One hamburger, two French fries and two cups of teaB. One hamburger, one French fries and two cups of teaC. One hamburger, one French fries and one cup of teaD. One hamburger, two French fries and one cup of tea24. Why didn’t the old lady eat her portion of meal?A. Her artificial teeth didn’t fit h er well.B. She forgot to bring her teeth with her.C. Her husband had not finished using the teeth.D. She was waiting for someone to get her teeth for her.BI made a promise to myself on the way down to the vacation beach cottage. For two weeks I would try to be a loving husband and father. Totally loving. No ifs, ands or buts.The idea had come to me as I listened to a talk on my car radio. The speaker was quoting a Biblical passage about husbands and their wives. Then he went on to sa y, “Love is an act of will.A person can choose to love.” To myself, I had to admit that I had been a selfish husband. Well, for two weeks that would change.And it did. Right from the moment I kissed Evelyn at the door and said, “That new yellow sweater l ooks great on you.” “Oh, Tom, you noticed”, she said, surprised and pleased. Maybe a littlepuzzled. After the long drive, I wanted to sit and read. Evelyn suggested a walk on the beach. I started to refuse, but then I thought, “Evelyn’s been alone here wi th the kids all week and now she wants to be alone with me.” We walked on the beach while the children flew their kites.So it went. Two weeks of not calling the Wall Street firm where I am a director; a visit to the shell museum though I usually hate muse ums. Relaxed and happy, that’s how the whole vacation passed.I made a new promise to keep on remembering to choose love.There was one thing that went wrong with my experiment, however. Evelyn and I still laugh about it today. On the last night at our cottage, preparing for bed, Evelyn stared at me with the saddest expression.“What’s the matter?” I asked her.“Tom,” she said in a voice filled with distress, “I don’t?”“What do you mean?”“Well…that checkup I had several weeks ago…our doctor…did he tell yo u something about me? Tom, you’ve been so good to me…am I dying?”It took a moment for it all to be understood. Then I burst out laughing.“No, honey,” I said, wrapping her in my arms. “You’re not dying; I’m just starting to live.”25. From the story we may infer that Tom drove to the beach cottage ______.A. with his familyB. with EvelynC. aloneD. with his children26. During the two weeks on the beach, Tom showed more love to his wife because _.A. he was determined to be a good husbandB. he had made a lot of money in his Wall Street firmC. she looked lovely in her new clothesD. the doctor said his wife was seriously ill27.

She hesitated, uncertain how to classify herself．“What I mean is,” explained the recorder, “do you have a job, or are you just a …”“Of course I have a job,” said Emily．“I’m a mother.”“We don’t list ‘mother’ as an occupation… ‘housewife’ covers it,” said the recorder.One day I found myself in the same situation．The clerk was obviously a career woman, confident and possessed of a high sounding title．“What is your occupation?” she asked．The words simply popped out．“I’m a Research Associate in the field of Child Development and Human Relations.”The clerk paused, ballpoint pen frozen in midair.I repeated the title slowly, and then I stared with wonder as my statement was written in bold, black ink on the official questionnaire.“Might I ask,” said the clerk with new interest, “Just what you do in this field?”Coolly, without any trace of panic in my voice, I heard myself reply, “I have a continuing program of research (what mother doesn’t）, in the lab and in the field (normally I would have said indoors and out). Of course, the job is one of the most demanding in the humanities (any mother care to disagree?), and I often work 14 hours a day (24 is more like it)．But the job is more challenging than most careers and rewards are more of a satisfaction rather than just money.”There was an increasing note of respect in the clerk’s voice as she completed the form, stood up, and showed me out．As I drove into our driveway, buoyed up (依托) by my glamorous new career, I was greeted by my lab assistants---ages 13, 7, and 3.Upstairs I could hear our new experimental model (a 6 month old baby), in the child-development program, testing out a new vocal pattern．I felt proud! I had gone on the official records as someone more distinguished andindispensable (不可缺少的) to mankind than “just another mother.”Motherhood…What a glorious career! Especially when there’s a title on the door.29. What can we infer from the conversation between the woman and the recorder at the beginning of the passage?A.

What is the author’s purpose of writing the passage?A. To show how you describe your job affects your feelings toward it.B. To show that the author had a grander job than Emily.C. To argue that motherhood is a worthy career and deserves respect.D. To show that being a mother is hard and boring work.DIt was Sunday morning. I heard loud noises of moving furniture in the next room. I could almost feel the excitement of John who was soon going to get a room of his own. I knew how much he longed for his right to privacy when he was sharing a room with his younger brother, Robot. He said, “Mum, Can I have a room of my own? I could use Jeff’s. He won’t mind.”It was true that Jeff had graduated from college and flown from the nest. But would he mind? The room was the place where I told him a thousand stories and we had a thousand talks. As close as we were, though, the time came when Jeff needed a door between us. His life was spreading into areas that had less to do with family. I no longer could-or-should know everything about him.It turned out that getting Jeff’s permission was easy. He said, “Of course, Mum, it would be selfish of me to hold on to it.” Then his voice softened, “Mum, I won’t be living at home again — you know that.” Behind his glasses, his eyes were lit with all the love. There were no doors closed here— they had all opened up again.As John and I were cleaning the room, I fixed my eyes o n Jeff’s things around me and could almost touch the little boy I knew was gone forever. I looked at the room and, in my heart, I let it go. To hold on would be, as Jeff said, selfish. Now it was time for John, shouldering through the door, his eyes bright with promise of independence, to disappear behind the door. It was time for letting go to happen again.32. The underlined sentence in the second paragraph probably means “______”.A. Jeff needed his right to privacyB. Jeff finally flew out of the houseC. Jeff got tired of those familiar storiesD. Jeff would have less to do with his family33. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. John was moving to live with his brother.B. John was eager to get a room of his own.C.

Embarrassed.35. It can be inferred from the passage that ______.A. the children did not like to live with adultsB. all her three kids made the author feel depressedC. none of the members in the family thought the same wayD. the author loved and missed the time together with her kids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入空白处的最佳选项。

I had seven coworkers and a boss, Mrs. King. Our job was to sort huge amounts of mail into four hundred slots (位置). We delivered the mail out of grocery carts we wheeled from office to office, picking up outgoing mail as we went along. Each mail delivery took an entire half-day to sort and deliver.My troubles began almost as soon as I arrived. I was horrified to see that the slots were labeled not with people’s names but with their initials. Without thinking, I asked why this was a good idea, only to receive a sharp glance from Mrs. King. So I repeated the question. This time Mrs. King told me n ot to question what I didn’t understand. It was the first of many such exchanges, and I hadn’t been on the job a half-hour. The longer I worked at the job, the more I saw how inefficient all the procedures were, from delivery routes to times for coffee breaks. When I asked Mrs. King about the procedures, however, she always reacted the same way. I continued with it over the next seven weeks, but my efforts were fruitless, even counterproductive.Two months later, I was fired. I objected, of course. The personnel manager asked me if I had ever heard of the barnyard pecking order: the top chicken pecks on the one below it, the second pecks on the third, and so on all the way down the line to the lowliest chicken, whose life is a constant misery. Mrs. King, the manager said, was that lowliest chicken at the bottom of the pecking order in the agency’s management. No one should doubt for a moment that she ruled her rooster.I reflected upon my adventure in the agency. Eventually I saw how arrogant, and how unsympa thetic, my behavior had been. In my next job, I’ll learn the pecking order before I become a reformer, if I do.24. What trouble did the author meet when he started his job?A. He had too many co-workers and a boss to work with.B.

What has the author learned from his job adventure?A. Honesty.B. Self-confidence.C. Respect.D. Perseverance.CMachines might one day replace human laborers in a number of professions, but surely they won’t ever replace human artists. Right?Think again. Not even our artists will be safe from the inevitable machine takeover, if a new development in artificial intelligence (AI) by a team of researchers from Rutgers University and Facebook’s AI lab offers a clue of what’s to come. They have designed an AI capable of not only producing art, but actually inventing whole new aesthetic (美学的) styles similar to movements like impressionism or abstract expressionism. The idea, according to researcher Marian Mazzone, was to make art that is “novel, but not too novel”.The model used in this project involves a generator network, which produces the images, and a discriminatory network, which “judges” whether it’s art. Once the generator learns how to produce work that the distributor recognizes as art, it’s given an additional instruction: to produce art that doesn’t match any known aesthetic styles.“You want to have something really creative and striking — but at the same time not to go too far and make som ething that isn’t aesthetically pleasing,” explained Ahmed Elgammal.The art that was generated by the system was then presented to human judges alongside human-produced art without showing which was which. To the researchers’ surprise, the machine-made art scored slightly higher overall than the human-produced art.Of course, machines can’t yet replace the meaning conveyed in works by human artists, but this project shows that artist skill sets certainly seem reproducible by machines.What will it take for machines to produce content with meaning? That might be the last AI frontier. Human artists can at least hang their hats in that field for now.“Imagine having people over for a dinner party and they ask, ‘Who is that by?’ And you say, ‘Well, it’s a machine actually.’ That would be an interesting conversation starter,” said Kevin Walker.28. What is implied in the second paragraph?A. Artists won’t be replaced by AI.B. AI can produce new styles of art.C. AI is totally at a loss about impressionism.D. AI fails to reflect abstract expressionism.29. What did Marian find in his study?A. AI can please human judges with its art.B. AI can combine content with meaning.C. AI can make art aesthetically pleasant.D. AI can create high quality arts.30. What does the underlined phrase “hang their hats” mean?A. Discover.B. Hold.C. Struggle.D. Appear.31. What Kevin said in the last paragraph tells us that .A. she uses machines to cook for a partyB. she likes to join in a dinner partyC. she expects the arrival of AID. she cares about the starter of a chatDAt the World Economic Forum last month, President Trump drew claps when he announced the United States would respond to the forum’s proposal to plant one trillion(万亿) trees to fight climate change. The trillion-tree idea won wide attention last summer after a study published in the journal Science concluded that planting so many trees was “the most effective climate change solution to date”.If only it were true. But it isn't. Planting trees would slow down the planet’s warming, but the only thing that will save us and future generations from paying a huge price in dollars, lives and damage to nature is rapid and considerable reductions in carbon release from fossil fuels, to net zero by 2050.Focusing on trees as the big solution to climate change is a dangerous diversion(偏离). Worse still, it takes attention away from those responsible for the carbon release that are pushing us toward disaster. For example, in the Netherlands, you can pay Shell an additional 1 euro cent for each liter of regular gasoline you put in your tank, to plant trees to balance the carbon release from your driving. That’s clearly no more than disaster slightly delayed. The only way to stop this planet from overheating is through political, economic, technological and social solutions that end the use of fossil fuels.There is no way that planting trees, even across a global area the size of the United States, can absorb the huge amounts of fossil carbon released from industrial societies. Trees do take up carbon from the atmosphere as they grow. But this uptake merely replaces carbon lost when forests were cleared in the first place, usually long ago. Regrowing forests where they once grew can undo some damage done in the past, but even a trillion trees can’t store enough carbon to head off dramatic climate changes this century.In a sharp counter argument to last summer’s Paper in Science, Justin Gillis wrotein the same journal in October that the study’s findings were inconsistent with the dynamics of the global carbon cycle. He warned that “the claim that global tree restoration(复原) is our most effective climate solution is simply scientifically incorrect and dangerously misleading”.32. What do we know about the trillion-tree idea?A. It was published in a journal.B. It was proposed last summer.C. It was put forward by Trump.D. It drew lots of public attention.33. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?A. A drawback of the tree planting strategy.B. An example of balancing carbon release.C. An anecdote of making a purchase at Shell.D. A responsibility for politicians and economists.34. What was Justin Gillis’s attitude towards global tree restoration?A. IndifferentB. Opposed.C. Hesitant.D. Supportive.35. What is the best title for the text?A. Contradictory Ideas on Tree Planting.B. A Trillion Trees Come to the Rescue.C. Planting Trees Won't Save the World.D. The Best Solution to Climate Change. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
