A
You may be familiar with the following famous people, but have you heard of their graduation speeches, in which they either share their unforgettable experiences or give you some great inspiration.
●Michael Dell, University of Texas at Austin
And now you’ve accomplished something great and important here, and it’s time for you to move on to what’s next. And you must not let anything prevent you from taking those first steps. You must also commit to the adventure. Just have faith in the skills and the knowledge you’ve been blessed with and go.
●J. K. Rowling, Harvard University
Half my lifetime ago, I was striking an uneasy balance between my ambition and the expectation from my parents who were not rich. But what I feared most for myself at your age was not poverty, but failure. The fact that you are graduating from Harvard suggests that you know little about failure. You might be driven by a fear of failure quite as much as a desire for success.
●Steve Jobs, Stanford University
Sometimes life’s going to hit you on the head with a brick. Don’t lose faith. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work, and the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking, and don’t settle.
●Bill Gates, Harvard University
We need as many people as possible to have access to the advanced technology to lead to a revolution in what human beings can do for one another. They are making it possible not just for national governments, but for universities, smaller organizations, and even individuals to see problems, see approaches and deal with the world’s inequities (不公平) like hunger, poverty, and so on.

Life is just like a box of chocolates and you never know what you’re going to get. Sometimes when we are in our darkest hour, something completely unexpected happens that can give us a little bit of hope and comfort.
Jessica was a healthy woman. One day, while she was working on a brilliant idea that suddenly struck her, which she thought would be a real breakthrough for solving the mathematical problem she was working on, she suddenly lost consciousness. After she was rushed to the hospital, her heart rate slowed by nearly 50 percent. It took nine days for doctors to concentrate on what was causing her problem.
After several weeks, Jessica was still stiff (僵硬的) from head to foot, but luckily, she was able to move her lips. Staff noticed this and introduced Jessica to Consuelo Gonzalez, a professional lip reader. Consuelo can understand what people are saying by the shape their lips make. She can also understand how annoying it is not to be able to communicate because she has been completely deaf since the age of 8.
For a few hours each week, Jessica could have long conversations with Consuelo, diving into the ocean of words she dearly missed. Through Consuelo, Jessica asked the doctors and nurses questions she had long wanted answers to. She also talked to Consuelo about the vivid dreams she was mixing up with reality.
In fact, there are other ways for Consuelo to earn a living by reading lips, but she says helping patients separate horrible dreams from reality is the most rewarding way she can use her unique skill. “What is really wonderful, without doubt, is being able to use this skill to create healing and to create communication between human beings. That’s what feels best: Love.”
After four and a half months in the hospital, Jessica finally recovered. Consuelo was there, holding Jessica’s hands. Jessica eventually went back to work as a math professor. After her experience she wrote a new living will. One thing she added is that if she ever becomes incapacitated like this again, she is never to be left alone.
40. Why does the author mention a box of chocolates in the first paragraph?
A. To present an argument. B. To make a comparison.
C. To introduce a topic. D. To give an example.
41. What is the correct order of the following events?

d. Jessica was able to ask the doctors questions she had long wanted answers to.
e. Jessica worked on a brilliant idea for solving the mathematical problem.
A. ecadb B. adcbe C. ecdba D. adbce
42. Which statement is correct in Jessica’s story?
A. Jessica became deaf as a result of the sudden disease after losing consciousness.
B. Consuelo must have a gift in psychology as she could separate dreams from reality.
C. Consuelo accompanied Jessica all the time in the hospital until the latter recovered.
D. Doctors focused on the cause of Jessica’s disease before Consuelo offered help.
43. How can we describe Consuelo Gonzalez?
A. Friendly and cautious. B. Brave and creative.
C. Kind and caring. D. Determined and humorous.
44. Which of the following best explains “incapacitated” underlined in the last paragraph?

We are encountering real-world examples of how AI can harm human relations. As digital assistants such as Alexa or Siri become popular, we become accustomed to talking to them as though they were alive. Writing in these pages several years ago, Judith Shulevitz described how some of us are starting to treat them as friends and therapists. Shulevitz herself says she confesses (懺悔) things to Google Assistant that she wouldn’t tell her husband. If we grow more comfortable talking to our devices about our secrets, what happens to our human marriages and friendships? Designers and programmers typically create devices whose responses make us feel better — but may not help us be self-reflective or think over painful truths. As AI goes deeper into our lives, we must face the possibility that it will prevent our emotions and deep human connects.
Besides, we will fight with some other challenges. The age of driverless cars, after all, is upon us. These vehicles promise to considerably reduce the exhaustion and distraction that put human drivers in danger, thus preventing accidents. But what other effects might they have on people? Driving is a very modern kind of social interaction, requiring high levels of cooperation. I worry that driverless cars, by taking away from us an occasion to exercise this ability, could contribute to its decline.
Not only will these vehicles be programmed to take over driving duties and hence to remove from humans the power to make moral judgments (for example, about which pedestrian to hit when a crash is unavoidable), they will also affect humans with whom they’ve had no direct contact. For instance, drivers who have steered awhile alongside an autonomous vehicle traveling at a steady, changeless speed might drive less attentively, thus increasing their likelihood of accidents once they’ve moved to a part of the highway occupied only by human drivers. Alternatively, experience may reveal that driving alongside autonomous vehicles travelling in perfect accordance with (按照) traffic laws actually improves human performance.
Either way, we should be careful to launch new forms of AI without first taking such unexpected social effects into account. We must apply the same effort that we apply to the hardware and software that make self-driving cars possible to managing AI’s potential effects on those outside the car. After all, we install brake lights on the back of your car not just, or even primarily, for your benefit, but for the sake of the people behind you.
46. What can be inferred about human relationships from the first paragraph?
A. AI will lead to distant inter-personal relationships.
B. We will feel comfortable speaking to others online.
C. AI will enable people to communicate more with others.
D. We will be more self-reflective in interaction thanks to AI.
47. In Paragraph 2, the phrase “its decline” refers to the decline in ________.
A. drivers’ interaction with the cars
B. drivers’ exhaustion and distraction
C. our ability to cooperate with others while driving
D. our ability to deal with emergencies while driving
48. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true of driverless cars?
A. They may be better at making more judgments than human drivers.
B. They need to vary their speed to make contact with human drivers.
C. They may make human drivers in other cars drive more safely.
D. They need to force human drivers to concentrate in the car.
49. Which of the following is the writer most likely to agree with?
A. Brake lights on the back of our car are installed mainly to warn us of danger.
B. We should figure out how new technology affects people before developing it.
C. We can launch new forms of AI without thinking of unexpected social effects.
D. More efforts should be made to advance the hardware and software of driverless cars.
50. What’s the author’s purpose of writing this passage?
A. To present the challenges brought by AI.
B. To explain the reason why AI may harm human relations.
C. To put forward how to solve the unexpected effect of AI.
D. To discuss the advantages and disadvantages of driverless cars.

Psychological science is full of interesting topics, many of which tell a coherent (連貫的) picture of human nature, but some of which create seemingly contradictory stories. A case in point is the tricky, and misunderstood, overlap (重疊部分) between strength-based science and the research on narcissism (自戀).
There is now convincing evidence to show that narcissism is on the rise, especially in our youth. Some researchers say that about 25% of young people show symptoms of narcissism. The inflated ego of Generation Me is reflected in reality TV, celebrity worship, and out-of-control consumerism.
We are correct to be concerned about this phenomenon, but our fear that all kids are potential narcissists has caused an unhelpful counter-reaction to approaches that seek to make our children and teens feel good about themselves.
In my own research on strength-based parenting, it is common for people to wrongly think this approach to be the cause of narcissism. Their argument seems to be that a child who knows his strengths will automatically view himself as better than everyone else. It is argued that the self-assurance that comes with identifying and using their positive qualities will make a child selfish and uncaring. Genuine confidence about one’s strengths is categorized as over-confidence; desirable self-knowledge is branded as excessive (過(guò)分的) self-admiration.
Why does this occur? It’s partly because more is known about narcissism than strengths. While strengths psychology has largely stayed within the limit of academic journals, research on narcissism has made its way into the mass media and our daily life. A famous magazine noted that narcissism is a favored topic and that people everywhere are diagnosing others with it.
The fear that a strength-based approach will cause narcissism also occurs because of our binary (非此即彼) thinking. We mistakenly believe that one cannot be both confident and humble. We focus on Donald Trump and Kim Kardashian rather than Mahatma Gandhi and Mother Teresa. Without confidence in their strengths, Gandhi and Mother Teresa couldn’t have achieved so much, and yet modesty and selflessness are their qualities.
When we assume that strength-focus is the same as a self-focus, we fail to make the idea clear that people who know their strengths are, actually, more likely to be pro-social and ready to help others.
It’s easy to conclude that every young person is at risk of becoming a narcissist but I’d like to stand up for the thousands of young kids I have worked with, who are caring, thoughtful and humble — even when they use their strengths.
51. Which of the following opinions may the writer agree with?
A. Strength-based parenting leads to narcissism.
B. It’s unhelpful for us to make our children feel good about themselves.
C. To say all kids are potential narcissists is overstating the case.
D. Children who know their strengths tend to be more selfish and uncaring.
52. Why are teenagers’ strengths often considered as narcissism according to Paragraph 5?
A. Academic journals report more on narcissism.
B. There is a lack of narcissism in our common sense.
C. Many people are diagnosed with narcissism by doctors.
D. The general public has less access to strengths psychology.
53. Why does the author mention Gandi and Mother Teresa?
A. Because they are as famous as Donald Trump.

【導(dǎo)語(yǔ)】本文是一篇議論文。一直以來(lái),人們對(duì)個(gè)人優(yōu)勢(shì)和自戀兩者之間認(rèn)識(shí)不足,導(dǎo)致了對(duì)青少年的自信產(chǎn)生誤解。作者解釋了對(duì)青少年的自信被誤解為自戀的這一現(xiàn)象,及其產(chǎn)生原因,并認(rèn)為:以突出孩子們優(yōu)勢(shì)為基礎(chǔ)的教養(yǎng)方式是有益的。
【51題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段“We are correct to be concerned about this phenomenon, but our fear that all kids are potential narcissists has caused an unhelpful counter-reaction to approaches that seek to make our children and teens feel good about themselves. (我們對(duì)這種現(xiàn)象的擔(dān)憂是正確的,但是我們擔(dān)心所有的孩子都是潛在的自戀者,這對(duì)那些試圖讓孩子和青少年自我感覺(jué)良好的方法造成了無(wú)益的反作用力)”以及最后一段“It’s easy to conclude that every young person is at risk of becoming a narcissist but I’d like to stand up for the thousands of young kids I have worked with, who are caring, thoughtful and humble — even when they use their strengths.(很容易得出這樣的結(jié)論:每個(gè)年輕人都有成為自戀狂的風(fēng)險(xiǎn),但我想為與我共事過(guò)的成千上萬(wàn)個(gè)關(guān)心他人、體貼他人、謙遜的孩子們說(shuō)話——即使他們?cè)诎l(fā)揮自己的優(yōu)勢(shì)時(shí)也是如此)”可推知,作者認(rèn)為不是所有孩子都是潛在的自戀者,這樣的說(shuō)法過(guò)于夸大事實(shí)。故選C。
【52題詳解】
細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第五段中的“Why does this occur? It’s partly because more is known about narcissism than strengths. While strengths psychology has largely stayed within the limit of academic journals, research on narcissism has made its way into the mass media and our daily life. (為什么會(huì)出現(xiàn)這種情況?這在一定程度上是因?yàn)槿藗儗?duì)自戀的了解多于對(duì)優(yōu)勢(shì)的了解。雖然關(guān)于優(yōu)勢(shì)的心理學(xué)在很大程度上還停留在學(xué)術(shù)期刊的范圍內(nèi),但對(duì)自戀的研究已經(jīng)進(jìn)入了大眾媒體和我們的日常生活)”可知,青少年因優(yōu)勢(shì)產(chǎn)生的自信常常被誤認(rèn)為是自戀,是因?yàn)榇蟊妼?duì)自戀很熟悉,而對(duì)關(guān)于優(yōu)勢(shì)的心理學(xué)接觸較少、相對(duì)陌生。故選D。
【53題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第三段中的 “We mistakenly believe that one cannot be both confident and humble. We focus on Donald Trump and Kim Kardashian rather than Mahatma Gandhi and Mother Teresa. Without confidence in their strengths, Gandhi and Mother Teresa couldn’t have achieved so much, and yet modesty and selflessness are their qualities.(我們錯(cuò)誤地認(rèn)為一個(gè)人不可能既自信又謙虛。我們關(guān)注的是唐納德·特朗普和金·卡戴珊,而不是圣雄甘地和特蕾莎修女。如果對(duì)自己的力量沒(méi)有信心,甘地和特蕾莎修女不可能取得這么大的成就,然而謙虛和無(wú)私是他們的品質(zhì))”可知,這一段,作者認(rèn)為人們的看法——一個(gè)人不可能既自信又謙虛——是錯(cuò)誤的。由此推知,作者以甘地和特蕾莎為例,來(lái)證明自己的觀點(diǎn),即一個(gè)人既自信又謙虛是可能的。故選B。
【54題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段“It’s easy to conclude that every young person is at risk of becoming a narcissist but I’d like to stand up for the thousands of young kids I have worked with, who are caring, thoughtful and humble — even when they use their strengths.(很容易得出結(jié)論,每個(gè)年輕人都有成為自戀者的風(fēng)險(xiǎn),但我想為我接觸過(guò)的成千上萬(wàn)的年輕人挺身而出,他們關(guān)心他人、體貼他人、謙遜——即使他們?cè)诎l(fā)揮自己的優(yōu)勢(shì)時(shí)也是如此)”可推知,作者對(duì)幼兒自信建立法是支持的態(tài)度。故選A。
【55題詳解】
主旨大意題。根據(jù)第一段“Psychological science is full of interesting topics, many of which tell a coherent (連貫的) picture of human nature, but some of which create seemingly contradictory stories. A case in point is the tricky, and misunderstood, overlap (重疊部分) between strength-based science and the research on narcissism (自戀).(心理科學(xué)充滿(mǎn)了有趣的話題,其中許多都描繪了人性的連貫畫(huà)面,但有些卻創(chuàng)造了看似矛盾的東西。一個(gè)恰當(dāng)?shù)睦泳褪牵谀芰Φ目茖W(xué)和關(guān)于自戀的研究之間存在微妙和被誤解的重疊)”可知,這篇文章主要講的是人們對(duì)青少年的自信產(chǎn)生了誤解。故選D。

閱讀下面短文,按照要求用英語(yǔ)回答問(wèn)題。
Walking home from school one day, I saw Dan, a kid from my school, on the other side of the road. I said to myself, “He must be a real nerd,” as he was carrying a lot of books. When I continued walking, I saw a group of kids run into Dan, knocking his books out of his arms and pushing him so he fell over. I ran over to help him, and as we were picking up his books, I saw tears in his eyes.
While I helped him stand up, I said, “Those kids are stupid.” He looked at me and said, “Thanks.” There was a grateful smile on his face.
We started talking and soon realized that we lived near each other. We talked all the way home. Dan turned out to be a pretty cool kid. We hung out all weekend and the more I got to know Dan, the more I liked him. Dan and I became best friends.
Over the years in high school, he became more popular. In our senior year, Dan got the best grades in our class, and had to give a speech for graduation.
As Dan started his speech, he looked at me. “Graduation is a time to thank the people who helped you survive those tough years — your parents, your teachers, but mostly your friends. Being a friend is the best gift you can give. I’m going to tell you a story.” I just looked at Dan in amazement as he told the story of the first day we met. He had planned to drop out of school and run away from home that weekend. Dan talked of how he had emptied his locker so his mom wouldn’t have to do it later and was carrying all of his books home. He looked hard at me and gave me a little smile. “Thankfully, I was saved. My friend saved me from making a huge mistake.” Everyone looked at Dan in shock as he told us about his weakest moment.

________________
57. How do you understand the underlined part in Paragraph 1?(no more than 10 words)
________________
58. What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?(no more than 8 words)

59. Why did everyone look at Dan in shock at the end of the story?(no more than 15 words)
________________
60. Who do you want to thank most upon your graduation? Please explain.(no more than 25 words)
________________
【答案】56. On his way home from school.
57. He must be a very boring person.
58. How the author and Dan became best friends.
59. Because Dan told everyone his weakest moment.
60. I want to thank my English teacher most for his encouragement and support. Without him, I wouldn't catch up with my classmates.
【解析】
【導(dǎo)語(yǔ)】這是一篇記敘文。文章主要講述了作者在放學(xué)路上遇到了丹,兩人很快成為了朋友。直到畢業(yè)時(shí),丹告訴作者他們相遇那天,他本打算退學(xué)的。
【56題詳解】
考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第一段“Walking home from school one day, I saw Dan, a kid from my school, on the other side of the road.(一天放學(xué)回家,我在路的另一邊看到了丹,我們學(xué)校的一個(gè)孩子)”可知,在放學(xué)回家的路上作者第一次遇到丹。故答案為On his way home from school.
【57題詳解】
考查句意理解。根據(jù)畫(huà)線詞后文“as he was carrying a lot of books”可知,丹帶了很多書(shū)回家,所以作者覺(jué)得他一定是一個(gè)很無(wú)聊的人。畫(huà)線詞部分意思是“他一定是一個(gè)很無(wú)聊的人”。故答案為He must be a very boring person.
【58題詳解】
考查主旨大意。根據(jù)第三段“We started talking and soon realized that we lived near each other. We talked all the way home. Dan turned out to be a pretty cool kid. We hung out all weekend and the more I got to know Dan, the more I liked him. Dan and I became best friends.(我們開(kāi)始交談,很快就意識(shí)到我們住得很近。回家的路上我們一直在聊天。丹原來(lái)是個(gè)很酷的孩子。我們整個(gè)周末都在一起玩,我對(duì)丹了解得越多,就越喜歡他。丹和我成了最好的朋友)”可知,第三段主旨為作者和丹如何成為最好的朋友。故答案為How the author and Dan became best friends.
【59題詳解】
考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)最后一段“I just looked at Dan in amazement as he told the story of the first day we met. He had planned to drop out of school and run away from home that weekend. Dan talked of how he had emptied his locker so his mom wouldn’t have to do it later and was carrying all of his books home. He looked hard at me and gave me a little smile. “Thankfully, I was saved. My friend saved me from making a huge mistake.” Everyone looked at Dan in shock as he told us about his weakest moment.(當(dāng)?shù)ぶv述我們第一天相遇的故事時(shí),我驚訝地看著他。他原計(jì)劃那個(gè)周末從學(xué)校退學(xué),離家出走。丹說(shuō)他清空了自己的儲(chǔ)物柜,這樣?jì)寢尵筒挥迷偈帐傲?,他還把所有的書(shū)都帶回家了。他盯著我,對(duì)我微微一笑?!爸x天謝地,我得救了。我的朋友把我從一個(gè)巨大的錯(cuò)誤中拯救了出來(lái)?!碑?dāng)?shù)じ嬖V我們他最脆弱的時(shí)刻時(shí),每個(gè)人都震驚地看著他)”可知,在故事的結(jié)尾,每個(gè)人都震驚地看著丹是因?yàn)榈じ嬖V每個(gè)人他最脆弱的時(shí)刻。故答案為Because Dan told everyone his weakest moment.
【60題詳解】
考查開(kāi)放題,題干:畢業(yè)時(shí)你最想感謝誰(shuí)?請(qǐng)解釋一下。可回答:我最要感謝我的英語(yǔ)老師給我的鼓勵(lì)和支持。沒(méi)有他,我就趕不上我的同學(xué)了。故答案為I want to thank my English teacher most for his encouragement and support. Without him, I wouldn't catch up with my classmates.
