nts: 603 ★★★★★by Robert E. Howard（Author）, Patrice Louinet （Edito
r, Afterword）In a career spanning a mere twelve years, Robert E.
Howard singlehandedly invented the type called sword and sorcery
（巫术）. From his fertile imagination sprang some of fiction''s most
enduring heroes. Yet while Conan is undoubtedly Howard''s greatest
creation, it was in his earlier series of fiction featuring Kull
, a fearless warrior with the intellect of a philosopher, that Ho
ward began to develop the distinctive themes, and the rich blend
of history and mythology that would distinguish his later tales.
MENDELEYEV''S DREAM Hardback Comments: 9, 023★★★★★by Paul Strather
n（Author）Paul Strathern''s terrific book Mendeleyev''s Dream traces
that journey all the way back to ancient Greece, when people fir
st started questioning why the world is the way it is. It''s hard
to imagine a time before science. Strathern reminds us that peopl
e were more focused on questions of religion than on questions of
science. Mendeleyev''s Dream is the best book I''ve ever read on t
he periodic table （元素周期表）. It helps you understand how it all got
pieced together and why it''s so helpful. It''s also a fascinating
book at how a new science develops. Into the Water Audiobook Com
ments:9, 600★★★★★by Paula Hawkins （Author）, Laura Aikman （Narrato
r）, Daniel Weyman（Narrator）Paula Hawkins, the author of the numbe
r-one New York Times best seller The Girl on the Train, returns w
ith Into the Water, her addictive new fiction of psychological th
riller, delivering a deeply satisfying listen. A single mother tu
rns up dead in the river that runs through town, where earlier, a
vulnerable teenage girl met the same fate. They are not the firs
t women lost to these dark waters, but their deaths disturb the r
iver and its history, digging up secrets long submerged. 21. What
can we learn according to the above three books?A. Robert E. How
ard made a hit for his earliest creation Conan. B. Kull is a star
t point of Robert E. Howard''s distinctive style. C. Mendeleyev''s
Dream describes how to apply the periodic table. D. Paul Strather
n revealed human''s excessive attention on science. 22. Which of t
he following must be available via a sound device?A. Into the Wat
er. B. Kull: Exile of Atlantis. C. Mendeleyev''s Dream. D. The Gir
l on the Train. 23. Which column on the website would you recomme
nd the three books to?A. Thriller Today. B. Editor''s Choice. C. B
est Sellers of the Week. D. Nonfiction in Amazon Reading. BAndrew
runs a car repair workshop in a village in London, where swallow
s have made their nests on the crossbeams beneath its roof. All d
ay long, they fly in and out, bringing back insects for their hun
gry chicks, seemingly unconscious of the constant noise and the c
omings and goings of customers. However, this spring the swallows
didn''t arrive back at his workshop until 10 April-the latest the
y have returned in nearly 40 years. Actually, the average return
date has been 8 April, but this year I didn''t see one over my gar
den in Scottish Highlands until the 25th. Numbers are down, too.
While the tide appears to have turned up from last weekend onward
s, other familiar species, like house martin（毛脚燕），needle-tailed s
wift, etc have been very few and far between. There are two reaso
ns for their late arrival. Unlike many other migrating （迁徙）birds,
which fatten themselves up before they depart, these species fe
ed as they travel, replenishing （补充）lost energy by catching flyin
g insects. For that reason， they are especially vulnerable to bad
weather. And the weather in southern Europe this spring has been
very unpredictable. The second reason is that, here in Britain t
hese years, although the weather has been mainly dry, there have
been persistent easterly and northeasterly winds, which may have
also slowed down the birds'' progress as they headed north. How mi
ght this end up affecting these global travellers over the long t
erm? Migrating birds usually live for only one or two years, so t
hey need to get down to raising a family as soon as they return.
Swallows, which usually start nesting in early April, may only be
able to raise a single hatch this year, rather than two as they
do in most years. I have seen swallows all over the world and dis
covered just how important they are as a sign of spring: not just
in Britain but all the way across the northern hemisphere. Yet I
am concerned that rapid changes in the world''s climate pose a re
al threat to their chances of breeding successfully and their lon
g-term future, even a week or two delays. Fortunately, warm weath
er and clear skies have finally come to southern Europe, and the
migration floodgates have opened. Earlier last week, down on the
Somerset coast, I saw a steady passage of swallows, together with
a few house martins, all heading steadily northwards. With warm
sunshine and enough rain to produce quantities of insects, the sw
allows might be able to compensate for their lost time. 24. What
can be inferred from the first three paragraphs?A. Swallows'' migr
ation is always as regular as clockwork. B. Swallows are attracte
d by the steady stream of visitors. C. Swallows love making their
nests around human places. D. Swallows'' lateness for the spring
becomes a universal trend. 25. What does the author probably agre
e with?A. Unsettled weather affects swallows'' feeding pattern. B.
Abundant food supply makes up for swallows'' lost time. C. Persis
tent winds step up swallows'' progress towards south. D. There is
an upward tendency in varieties of migrating birds. 26. If climat
e problems continue to worsen, what might swallows suffer in the
future?A. A threat to their immune system. B. A decrease in their
life span. C. A decline in their population. D. A slim chance of
nesting for chicks. 27. What''s the author''s writing purpose?A. T
o raise great concerns about climate change. B. To introduce migr
ation habits of different birds. C. To propose ideas for addressi
ng global warming. D. To call for people to save the endangered s
pecies. CAnthill Plastics Group, in Clearwater, Florida, recently
welcomed a new team member. On his first day routine he performe
d the repetitive tasks required of him with flexibility, cooperat
ing comfortably alongside employees. Sawyer is one of the fleet o
f robots now laboring in the world''s factories. Some earlier indu
strial robots have been created to displace people. Instead, Sawy
er is a collaborative robot, also known as a “co-bot". Direct int
eraction between robots and humans at work is changing the face o
f manufacturing. Such interaction also means that roboticists nee
d to design effective teammates as well as efficient workers. Co-
bots operate in a field where human thoughts, human modes of comm
unication and human safety are paramount （首要的）. Rethink Robotics，
a firm in Boston, had this in mind when it developed Sawyer, a on
e-armed co-bot, and his two-armed colleague, Baxter, with cameras
and touch sensors. And their most noticeable feature is a screen
that displays cartoonlike human facial elements. Such faces are
not meant to please workers （though they do）. They are, rather, i
ntended to promote communication between humans and machines. The
n there is a basic precaution （防范）. If the robot detects force to
pping a safe level，it stops moving instantly, to ensure there is
no risk of injury to anyone. Too much of this stop-start can, how
ever, lower efficiency. Researchers of Rethink Robotics have foun
d, by tracking in detail human movements such as the relationship
between shoulders and elbows, or the swing of the body, that the
y can predict where a robot should avoid being next, if it is to
avoid human contact. Rethink Robotics are also looking at safety-
in their case by creating robots with softer top layers. Softer m
aterials not only provide greater flexibility for the co-bots whe
n grasping, but also lessen the risk of injury when incidental co
ntact is made between humans and robots. How long, if ever, it wi
ll be before such robots truly match the marketing slogan of the
Sirius Cybernetics Corporation, a fictional firm in Douglas Adams
''s creation, “The Hitchhiker''s Guide to the Galaxy”, remains to b
e seen. But even if not actually fun to be with, your plastic pal
will become increasingly effective. 28. Why was Sawyer invented
according to paragraph 1?A. To work with human workers. B. To dea
l with the repetitive tasks. C. To enable workers to work flexibl
y. D. To replace the longtime employees. 29. What can be inferred
from paragraph 2?A. Baxter is an updated co-bot. B. Robots have
cartoonlike human faces. C. Co-bots are designed for efficient wo
rkers. D. Human-centered needs are co-bots'' priority. 30. Which o
f the following will result in decreasing co-bots'' efficiency?A.
Tracking human movements. B. Predicting a lower risk nearby. C. C
onstantly stop to avoid potential risks. D. Frequently physical c
ontact with humans. 31. What is the author''s attitude towards co-
bots?A. Tolerant. B. Ambiguous. C. Appreciative. D. Disapproving.
DOne morning a journalist woke up to an email from his editor, a
sking for yet another article. “ChatGPT and other generative-AI s
ervices seem to be taking the world by storm, ” it read. “Could y
ou write an article explaining what they are and why they are not
just hype （炒 作）？”As he was feeling lazy he asked ChatGPT to answ
er that question， adding that it should be written in Shakespeare
an language. This is what came back:Aye, ‘tis true that’ tis a wo
ndrous thing, these Generative Artificial Intelligences （生成性 人工智能
），or GTPs as they be known. ''Tis a marvel of modern science, and
a type of AI technology that can generate natural language in res
ponse to input. ''Tis a form of deep learning, in which a computer
system is trained on tremendous amounts of text data. And then c
an generate its own text based on what it hath learned. ''Tis a po
werful tool that can be used for a multitude of applications, fro
m creating content to aiding in customer service. Obviously, Chat
GPT is, quite simply, the best artificial intelligence chatbot ev
er released to the general public. For most of the past decade, A
I chatbots have been horrible if only it would cherry-pick the re
sponse, which is second to none, from the bot, and throw out the
rest. But ChatGPT feels different. Smarter. Weirder. More flexibl
e. It can write jokes, working computer code and college-level es
says. It can also guess at medical diagnoses, create text-based H
arry Potter games and explain scientific concepts at multiple lev
els of difficulty. ChatGPT isn''t perfect, by any means. The way i
t generates responses-in extremely oversimplified terms, by makin
g probabilistic （基于概率的）guesses about which bits of text belong to
gether in a sequence, based on a statistical model trained on bil
lions of examples of text pulled from all over the Internet-makes
it most likely to giving wrong answers, even on seemingly simple
math problems. There are also plenty of things ChatGPT won''t do,
as a matter of principle. The chatbot is programmed to refuse “i
mproper requests”-a category that appears to include no-nos like
instructions for illegal activities. Thus, ''tis clear that GPTs a
re more than mere hype. ''Tis an exciting time for AI, and ''tis ce
rtain that GPTs will be at the forefront of this revolution. Not

out the journalist intended to?A. To arouse readers'' interest in
the editor. B. To show the brilliance of the journalist. C. To in
troduce an efficient tool for chats. D. To indicate the significa
nce of Shakespeare. 33. What does the underlined expression “cher
ry-pick”in paragraph 7 probably mean?A. Adopt the very best answe
r. B. Sample the moderate answer. C. Abandon the horrible answer.
D. Select the second to last answer. 34. Why might ChatGPT not b
e reliable according to paragraphs 9-10?A. Probabilistic guesses
are oversimplified. B. Trained examples are considerable. C. Big

o a deep depression. It was caused by a car accident. I was in ph
ysical recovery from the accident and suddenly all of my old hurt
s started coming up. I found myself crying on the floor of my apa
rtment. 36 I didn''t want to feel this way anymore. Let''s pause fo
r a moment. I don''t want you to bleed with me or to pity me. But
I also don''t want to cover my reality. And the truth is, beneath
the shiny photos you see on the Internet, I''m still a work in pro
gress. 37 Like all of us, I''m doing the best I can and making the
best choices I can. Back to the evening when I found myself lyin
g on the floor. What happened next? I started writing. There was
a TV show I absolutely loved. I started writing fan fiction. It p
rovided a beautiful place of escape from the thoughts swimming in
my head. 38 I started to feel like myself again. After completin
g four-part fan fiction totaling around 12, 000 words, I had an i
dea. I should write a novel to give a hand to those like me. I co
ntinued writing, having no idea where it would lead. I didn''t kno
w I would publish it but, after much resistance on my part I fina
lly made the decision to publish the book under my own name. No p
en name. No hiding on the deep bowels of the Internet. And so her
e we are. 39 Sure, readers will enjoy the twists and turns. And I
can see myself in the character. 40 I wrote it to help people. T
o give them a place to belong to. A place to talk about this fict
ional world. The very same thing that saved me last year. If the
story provides this to just one person, I''ve done my job. A. I''m
not perfect. B. I didn''t see a way out. C. The depression started
to lift. D. But that''s not my real motivation. E. The day before
the release of the book. F. Sometimes I even feel I am the chara
cter. G. I''ve become a successful writer of many books. 第三部分 语言运用

touched me more than a woman I picked up late one August night. I
was 42 a call from a small building in a quiet part of town. Whe
n I arrived at 2:30 a. m. , the building was almost dark except f
or a single light in a ground floor window. Under these circumsta

te， then drive away. But I had seen too many poor people who depe
nded on taxis as their only 43 of transportation. I went to the d
oor thinking this passenger might be someone who needed my assist
ance, I 44 to myself. So I walked to the door and knocked. “Just
a minute, ” answered an elderly voice. Then, the door opened. A s
mall woman in her 80s stood before me. By her side was a small ny
lon 45.“Would you carry my bag out to the car?” she said. I took
the suitcase to the cab, then 46 to assist the woman. She took my
arm and we walked slowly toward the cab. When we got in the cab,
she gave me an address, then asked, “Could you drive through dow
ntown?”“It''s not the 47 way, ”I answered quickly. “Oh，I don’t min
d，” she said. “I’m in no hurry. I’m on my way to a hospice （临终关怀医
院）. ”I looked in the rear view mirror. Her eyes were glistening.
“I don''t have any family left, ”she continued. “The doctor says
I''m too old to live alone. ”I quietly reached over and 48 the met
er. For the next two hours, we drove through the city. She showed
me the building where she had once worked as an elevator 49 . We
drove through the neighborhood where she and her husband had liv
ed. . . Finally we arrived at a low building. Two nurses came out
to the cab as soon as we pulled up. They must have been 50 her.
I opened the trunk and took the small suitcase to the door. The w
oman was already seated in a wheelchair. “How much do I 51 you?”
she asked, reaching into her purse. “Nothing. ”I said. “You gave
an old woman a little moment of 52, ” she said. “Thank you. ”Then
soon, the door shut. It was the sound of the 53 of a life. I did
n''t pick up any more passengers that night. I drove 54 , lost in
thought. What if I had refused to take the run, or had honked onc
e, then driven away? On a quick review, I don''t think that I have
done 55 more important in my life. 41.A. visitedB. pickedC. touc

hold in LifeA dozen children ran around laughing and playing in m
y friend''s yard, while we parents sat chatting and sipping cool s
ummer drinks. The barbecue had been cleared away when our host an
nounced a surprise. A huge movable rock wall was loaded in, which
was about twelve feet wide, made of gray molded plastic with ind
ented footholds that stretched straight up for what looked like at least a hundred feet. The enthusiastic kids swiftly lined up to give it a try, and with the complete fearlessness most children possess, scrambled to the top and rang the bel1 that hung at the highest point. There wasn''t really anything to be afraid of since they were belted into place. Three people could climb side by side and talk to each other, so gradually the adults tried it, too. “Come on; let''s go get in line, ” my husband Neil urged. “No, you go ahead without me. ” I had all sorts of good excuses: I don''t have the right shoes; I forgot my sunglasses; I have to help the hostess. I have a unique talent for seeing unthinkable danger in almost every situation, and this scene seemed dangerous to me. I watched everyone else having fun, though, and finally convinced myself to try it. With all the nerve I could gather, I started the climb. The belt wrapped around me like a diaper so there was no way to fall. Yes, I thought, this is fun and safe! Concentrating on each foothold, I slowly made my way up. I avoided looking down to prevent any sudden panic, and within a few minutes I made it to the top and proudly rang the bell. “Woo hoo!” my daughters called up to me. “Way to go, Col!” Neil yelled. I enjoyed my success and the enjoyable view of fields and farmland until I realized there was a line below me waiting for a turn. It was time to go down. 注意：1．续写词数应为150左右；2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。It was one thing to look out at the world in the distance, but it was a whole other thing to look straight down.
