Mre recently, researchers at places like Ggle and OpenAI began building neural netwrks that learned frm enrmus amunts f prse, including digital bks and Wikipedia articles by the thusands. GPT-3 is an example. As it analyzed all that digital text, it built what yu might call a mathematical map f human language — mre than 175 billin data pints that describe hw we piece wrds tgether. Using this map, it can perfrm many different tasks, like penning speeches, writing cmputer prgrams and having a cnversatin.
But there are limitatins. If yu ask GPT-3 fr 10 speeches in the vice f Mark Twain, it might give yu five that sund remarkably like the famus writer — and five thers that cme nwhere clse. Cmputer prgrammers use the technlgy t create small snippets(一小段) f cde they can slip int larger prgrams, but mre ften than nt they have t edit and adjust whatever it gives them.
Still, Dr. Gpnik described this kind f system as intelligent. “It is nt intelligent in the way humans are. It is like an unfamiliar frm f intelligence,” he said. “But it still cunts.”
Dr. Gpnik and many thers in the field are cnfident that they are n a path t building a machine that can d anything the human brain can d. This cnfidence shines thrugh when they discuss current technlgies. He admits that sme A．I. researchers “struggle t differentiate between reality and science fictin.” But he believes these researchers still serve a valuable rle. “They help us dream f the full range f the pssible,” he said.
Perhaps they d. But fr the rest f us, these dreams can get in the way f the issues that deserve ur attentin.

Whelan, 38, is the calm, cnfident female vice behind mre than 400 ther audibks, as well as the narrated versins(敘事版本) f many articles. Once she has taken n a prject, she reads thrugh the bk nce r twice, deciding n themes t highlight when she gets int the recrding rm by using different tnes and accents, and emphasizing certain wrds. “Narrating a bk really is a perfrmance,” she said, “and it can be harder t d than acting, because I can’t use my eyes r facial expressins t cnvey smething t the audience.”
As she spent time subsuming herself in the writing f thers, she began t think mre abut her wn creative ambitins. Just befre the pandemic, she began “Thank Yu fr Listening,” cmbining her writing with the experiences she has cllected as a narratr.

Searching Venus’ sky
Frm the mn t Mars, scientists have been hunting fr alien life in the slar system fr decades.
Hwever, Venus was nt regarded as an ideal place because f its ht temperature and dry atmsphere.
But a recent discvery f traces f a gas in the cluds f Venus has excited astrnmers, as it may serve as a ptential sign f life.
On Sept 14, the Ryal Astrnmical Sciety f Canada annunced that scientists have detected phsphine(磷化氫) in the cluds f Venus. Phsphine is a clrless, txic(有毒的)gas that has an dr f garlic. Thugh txic, it is viewed as a pssible sign f life because n Earth the gas is made by micrrganisms that live in xygen-free envirnments.
“I was very surprised - stunned, in fact,” astrnmer Jane Greaves f Cardiff University in Wales and lead authr f the research, tld MSN. “There is a chance that we have detected sme kind f living rganism in the cluds f Venus.”
This layer f cluds is abut 48 kilmeters abve the Venus surface, with its temperature ranging frm 30 t 200 degrees Fahrenheit (abut -1 t 93℃). Scientists have speculated that if life exists n Venus, this clud deck(云蓋)is likely the nly place where it wuld survive.
Scientists went thrugh every pssibility that culd have led t the frmatin f phsphine gas in Venus’ cluds, including vlcanes, lightning strikes, small meterites(隕石)falling int the atmsphere. But they ruled all f them ut. It was cncluded that there is n explanatin fr the existence f this gas in Venus’ cluds, ther than the presence f life, USA Tday reprted.
Althugh the detectin f phsphine is nt rbust(強有力的)evidence fr life, this finding is great enugh t change scientists’ view n Venus, which is thught t be a cmpletely inhspitable planet.
What signs f life we lking fr?
1. Liquid water: It can disslve a huge range f mlecules needed fr life and facilitate their chemical reactins.
2. Mild temperatures: Temperatures higher than 122 C will destry mst cmplex rganic mlecules, and make it almst impssible fr carbn-based life t frm.
12．What is the text mainly abut?
A．A newly detected gas may indicate pssible existence f life n Venus.
B．Scientists fund the mst hspitable place n Venus.
C．The envirnment n Venue changed in favr f life.
D．Phsphine frmed n Venus means alien life is present.
13．What can we learn abut phsphine frm the text?
A．It has n smell at all.B．It nly exists n Venus.
C．It can be prduced by micrrganisms.D．It is a sign f the existence f xygen.
14．What can we infer frm paragraphs 5 and 6?
A．Varius living rganisms have been detected n Venus.
B．The higher the clud is abve Venus, the warmer it is.
C．The clud deck is rich in phsphine.
D．If life exists n Venus, it is likely in the clud deck.
15．What did scientists cnclude abut the phsphine gas detected n Venus?
A．It culd be frmed as a result f the falling f meterites.
B．It culd be a sign that there is life in Venus’ cluds.
C．It culd be caused by vlcanes and lighting strikes.
D．It prves that Venus is anther hspitable planet.

It never ccurred t me when I was little that gardens were anything less than glamrus places. Granddad’s garden was n the bank f a river and slped gently dwn twards the water. Yu culdn’t reach the river but yu culd hear the sund f the water and the birds that sang in the trees abve. I imagined that all gardens were like this - a place f escape, peace and slitude. Granddad’s small plt f land was nthing ut f the rdinary when it came t features. He had nthing as grand as a greenhuse, unlike sme f his neighbrs. Hwever, this little piece f land bre a great part f my carefree and jyful childhd.
At hme, his sn, my father, culd be quiet and withdrawn. I wuldn’t want t make him sund humrless. He wasn’t. Silly things wuld amuse him. I came t realize that, deep dwn, he was prbably disappinted that he hadn’t made mre f his life. He left schl withut qualificatins and became a plumber apprentice(學徒). Plumbing was nt smething he was passinate abut. It was just what he did. He was never particularly ambitius, thugh there was a mment when he and Mum thught f mving t Canada, but it came t nthing. Where he came int his wn was arund the huse. He had an “eye fr the jb”. Be it bkshelves r a cupbard - what he culd achieve was astnishing. My parents mved huse nly nce in their entire married life. But my father made up fr this lack f daring when it came t furniture. Yu wuld have just gt used t the shape f ne chair when anther appeared.
As fr me, schl didn’t appeal t me much. I wanted t leave schl as sn as pssible but that seemed an unlikely prspect until ne day my father annunced, “They’ve gt a vacancy fr an apprentice gardener in the Parks Department. I thught yu might be interested.” In ne brief mment Dad had gne against his better judgment. He might still have preferred it if I became a carpenter. But I like t feel that smewhere inside him was a feeling that things might just turn ut fr the best. Maybe I’m deceiving myself, but I prefer t believe that in his heart, althugh he hated gardening himself, he’d watched me ding it fr lng enugh and nticed my unfailing passin fr all things that grew and flwered and fruited.
19．When the writer describes his granddad’s garden, he is ________.
A．prud that his granddad was such a gd gardener
B．embarrassed that the garden was nt as gd as thers nearby
C．a(chǎn)nnyed that items in the garden were ften damaged
D．psitive abut the time he spent in the garden
20．What is the writer’s attitude t his father in the secnd paragraph?
A．He was regretful that his father had nt achieved mre.
B．He was annyed that his father used wrds he didn’t understand.
C．He was sympathetic t the reasns why his father behaved as he did.
D．He was grateful that his father had nt taken the family t Canada.
21．What des the writer mean by the underlined phrase “came int his wn”?
A．was able t d smething by himself
B．was able t shw hw talented he was
C．was able t cntinue his day jb
D．was able t frget his failure
22．What des the writer think is the reasn behind his father’s decisin in the last paragraph?

B．His father was tired f disagreeing with his sn.
C．His father had been impressed by his sn’s lve f gardening.
D．His father came t realize the charm f gardening.
Hw can the train peratrs pssibly justify yet anther increase t rail passenger fares? It has becme a grimly reliable annual ritual: every January the cst f travelling by train rises, impsing a significant extra burden n thse wh have n ptin but t use the rail netwrk t get t wrk r therwise. This year’s rise, an average f 2.7 percent, may be a little bit lwer than last year’s, but it is still well abve the fficial Cnsumer Price Index (CPI) measure f inflatin(通貨膨脹).
Successive gvernments have permitted such increases n the grunds that the cst f investing in and running the rail netwrk shuld be brne by thse wh use it, rather than the general taxpayer. Why, the argument ges, shuld a car-driving pensiner frm Linclnshire have t subsidise(補貼)the daily cmmute(通勤)f a rail traveller frm Surrey? Equally, there is a sense that the sufferings f cmmuters in the Suth East, have received t much attentin cmpared t thse wh must endure the relatively pr infrastructure f the Midlands and the Nrth.
Hwever, ver the past 12 mnths, thse cmmuters have als experienced sme f the wrst rail strikes in years. It is all very well train peratrs basting abut the imprvements they are making t the netwrk, but passengers shuld be able t expect a basic level f service fr the substantial sums they are nw paying t travel. The respnsibility fr the latest wave f strikes rests n the unins. Hwever, there is a strng case that thse wh have been wrst affected by industrial actin shuld receive cmpensatin fr the disruptin they have suffered.
The Gvernment has prmised t change the law t intrduce a minimum service requirement s that, even when strikes ccur, services can cntinue t perate. This shuld frm part f a wider package f measures t address the lng-running prblems n Britain’s railways. Yes, mre investment is needed, but passengers will nt be willing t pay mre indefinitely if they must als endure cramped, unreliable services, alng with regular chas when timetables are changed, r planned maintenance is managed incmpetently. The threat f natinalisatin may have been seen ff fr nw, but it will return with a revenge if the justified anger f passengers is nt addressed in shrt rder.
23．The authr hlds that this year’s increase in rail passengers fares ________.
A．creates extra burden n taxpayers.
B．has kept pace with inflatin.
C．is beynd the expectatin f cmmuters
D．remains an unreasnable practice.
24．Accrding t the passage, which f the fllwing is right?
A．Cmpensatins are t be given t the cmmuters affected by the strikes.
B．A minimum service requirement will be likely t settle the railway prblems.
C．In terms f service, there is a cnflict between train peratr’s claim and the reality.
D．Train peratrs have suffered huge lsses wing t the strikes.

Eating ut ges a lng way back. The Rmans had their pubs serving set meals and ck shps called thermplia selling ht ready-t-eat dishes. In the Middle Ages, inns wuld prvide buffets f cld meats r rasts t serve the many peple wh didn’t have kitchens. Befre the revlutin in France, there were plenty f places where yu culd eat ut but fine dining was smething enjyed merely by the aristcracy (貴族) in the cmfrt f their wn hmes.
In 18th-century France, while the aristcrats were enjying fd prepared by persnal chefs, cld winters and ppressive taxatin had left mst f the French ppulatin unable t affrd bread. When the starving masses finally tk t the streets f Paris in 1789, cmmnly knwn as the French Revlutin, the aristcrats fled t the cuntryside, leaving their chefs and their fine wines behind. Bth fund their way t the cities’ existing eateries and within a year, a hst f new elegant restaurants with extensive menus had been established.
“These restaurants were a micrcsm (縮影) f the New France,” says David Gilks, a lecturer in Mdern Eurpean Histry at the University f East Anglia. “They were the places where the nuveau riche, wh had prfited frm the revlutin, were t be seen. There were still shrtages f basic fd stuffs in many parts f Paris but in the nicer parts yu wuld see peple enjying fine fd in elegant surrundings.”
In the 1760s the merchants f Paris develped a taste fr light sups knwn as “restratives” r “restaurants”, and dining halls where custmers culd sit at individual tables and have them began ppping up arund the city.
The new pst-revlutinary restaurants tk their names frm these and the new class f French businessmen, bming in the early 19th century when Naplen decided that if peple were enjying fd and drinks, they’d be unlikely t rebel again. Citizens were granted the “freedm f pleasure” and restaurants began t cmpete with each ther. They were featured in travelgues and became turist attractins in their wn right.
“Intended r nt, restaurants can signpst bth the decline and success f an Empire,” says William Sitwell, authr f The Restaurant: A Histry f Eating Out. “The extrardinary advancement f the dining scene f ancient Pmpeii was indicative f the Rman Empire’s visin breadth and bming. The dark restaurant scene f the United Kingdm in the 1940s after Wrld War II shwed quite hw the hrrrs f cnflict had damaged the cuntry’s fd, culture and taste.”
30．Which f the fllwing is a cnsequence f the French Revlutin?
A．Mst persnal chefs were left unemplyed.
B．Eateries fund their way t the cuntryside.
C．Fine dining n lnger just belnged t the aristcrats.
D．There were almst n shrtages f basic fd stuffs in Paris.
31．What can be learned abut the wrd “restaurant” frm the passage?
A．It was cined by the nuveau riche.
B．It riginally referred t a type f fd.
C．It came int being after the French Revlutin.
D．It was first defined as the “freedm f pleasure”.
32．What can be inferred frm William Sitwell’s cmments n restaurants?
A．They are symbls f transfrmatin.
B．They are the result f develpment.
C．They lst their appeal t British peple in the 1940s.
D．They made their first appearance in ancient Pmpeii.
33．What is the passage mainly abut?
A．The natinal visin f eating ut.B．The varying ppularity f restaurants.
C．The unintended purpses f eating ut.D．The histry and evlutin f restaurants.
Once yu chse t becme an actr, many peple wh yu thught were yur clsest friends will tell yu yu’re crazy, thugh sme may react quite differently. N tw peple will give yu the same advice. But it is a very persnal chice yu are making, and nly yu can take respnsibility fr yurself and fr realising yur ambitin.
There are n easy ways f getting there — n written examinatin t pass, and n abslute guarantee that when yu have successfully cmpleted yur training yu will autmatically make yur way in the prfessin. It’s a matter f luck plus talent.
I have frequently been asked t define this magical thing called talent, which everyne is lking ut fr. I believe it is best described as natural skill plus imaginatin — the latter being the mst difficult quality t assess. And it has a lt t d with the persn’s curage and their belief in what they are ding and the way they are putting it acrss.
Where des the desire t act cme frm? It is ften very difficult t put int wrds yur wn reasns fr wanting t act. Certainly, in the theatre the significant thing is that mment f cntact between the actr n the stage and a particular audience. And making this brief cntact is central t all acting, wherever it takes place — it is what drives all actrs t act.
If yu ask actrs hw they have dne well in the prfessin, the respnse will mst likely be a shrug. They will nt knw. They will knw certain things abut themselves and aspects f their wn technique and the techniques f thers. But they will take nthing fr granted, because they knw that they are nly as gd as their current jb, and that their fame may nt cntinue.
Disappintment is the greatest enemy f the actr. Last mnth yu may have been ut f wrk, selling clthes r waitressing. Suddenly yu are asked t auditin (試鏡) fr a part, but hwever much yu want the jb, the truth is that it maybe denied yu. S actrs tend nt t talk abut their chances. They cme up with ways f prtecting themselves against the stress f cmpeting fr a part and the pssibility f rejectin.
34．If yu decide t take up acting, yu may well receive a lt f _____ frm yur clse friends.
A．encuragementB．sympathy
C．jealusyD．bjectin
35．Which f the fllwing is the writer mst likely t agree with in terms f acting?
A．Gd actrs knw very well abut their secret f success.
B．Talented actrs are usually thse with a vivid imaginatin.
C．There shuld be training and exams t qualify ptential actrs.
D．Nt all actrs like the cntact with the audience while n the stage.
36．What des the writer imply abut disappintment?
A．It is what actrs ften talk abut.
B．Actrs shuld cmpete t avid it.
C．Actrs shuld get accustmed t it.
D．It will surely affect actrs’ perfrmance.
37．Which f the fllwing might be the best title f the passage?

B．Wanting t be an actr? Dn’t hesitate
C．Why acting appeals t yung peple?
D．Acting: riskier than expected

Using this map, it can perfrm many different tasks, like penning speeches, writing cmputer prgrams and having a cnversatin.(GPT-3就是一個例子。當它分析所有的數(shù)字文本時，它就構建了一個你可以稱之為人類語言的數(shù)學地圖——超過1750億個數(shù)據(jù)點，這些數(shù)據(jù)點描述了我們?nèi)绾螌卧~組合在一起。使用這張地圖，它可以執(zhí)行許多不同的任務，如撰寫演講稿、編寫計算機程序和進行對話。)”可知，GPT-3可以識別圖像并使用人類語言。故選C。
2．推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第三段第一句“But there are limitatins.(但也有局限性。)”和“Cmputer prgrammers use the technlgy t create small snippets f cde they can slip int larger prgrams, but mre ften than nt they have t edit and adjust whatever it gives them.(計算機程序員使用這項技術來創(chuàng)建可以將其插入到更大的程序中的代碼的小片段，但更多的時候，他們必須編輯和調整它給他們的任何內(nèi)容。)”可知，GPT-3還是有局限性的，它創(chuàng)建的代碼并不是完全正確的，還需要程序員親自編輯和調整，這說明GPT-3遠非完美。故選A。
3．細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第四段“Still, Dr. Gpnik described this kind f system as intelligent. ‘It is nt intelligent in the way humans are. It is like an unfamiliar frm f intelligence,’ he said. ‘But it still cunts.’(盡管如此，Gpnik博士還是將這種系統(tǒng)描述為智能系統(tǒng)。他說：“它不像人類那樣聰明。它就像一種不熟悉的智力形式。但它仍然很重要?！?”和第五段“Dr. Gpnik and many thers in the field are cnfident that they are n a path t building a machine that can d anything the human brain can d. This cnfidence shines thrugh when they discuss current technlgies. (戈普尼克博士和該領域的許多其他人都相信，他們正在走上一條制造機器的道路，這種機器可以做人類大腦所能做的任何事情。當他們討論當前的技術時，這種信心就會油然而生。)”可知，Dr. Gpnik高度評價了GPT-3這個系統(tǒng)，因為它在人工智能研究中發(fā)揮著重要作用。故選C。
4．推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章最后一段“Perhaps they d. But fr the rest f us, these dreams can get in the way f the issues that deserve ur attentin.(也許是這樣。但對我們其他人來說，這些夢想可能會阻礙值得我們關注的問題。)”可知，在作者看來，盡管人工智能可以幫人類實現(xiàn)很多夢想，但同時也可能會阻礙那些值得我們關注的問題，所以對此持反對意見。故選B。

9．詞句猜測題。由文章第三段“As she spent time subsuming herself in the writing f thers, she began t think mre abut her wn creative ambitins. (當她花時間讓自己 在他人的寫作中時，她開始更多地思考自己的創(chuàng)作抱負。)”可知，subsuming應表示“沉浸”，所以invlving意思和它接近。故選B項。
10．推理判斷題。由文章最后一段“‘When I listen t Julia read my stries, it sunds like she is calling yu ver t tell yu a great stry,’ said Nuzzi, whse wrk has been narrated by Whelan. ‘When I write nw, I try t think like (‘當我聽Julia讀我的故事時，聽起來她是在叫你來給你講一個很棒的故事，’Nuzzi說，她的作品由 Whelan擔任旁白?！斘椰F(xiàn)在寫作時，我試著這樣思考)”可知，Whelan 讀作品時可讓她從讀者的角度思考自己的寫作。故選A項。
11．推理判斷題。由文章最后一段“‘When I write nw, I try t think like that, that I am calling a reader ver t tell him a great stry. It has cmpletely changed my apprach.’ Whelan said that she als learns abut her writing when she experiences it as a narratr. ‘There is smething abut it that changes when yu’re perfrming it,’ she said.‘I read the bk ut lud during every stage f its revisins but it’s different when yu sit dwn and have the micrphne in frnt f yu, when I finally am in all the characters and the stry cmes t life.’(‘當我現(xiàn)在寫作時，我試著這樣想，我是在叫一位讀者過來給他講一個很棒的故事。這完全改變了我的寫作方式?！疻helan說，當她作為敘述者體驗寫作時，她也了解了自己的寫作。她說：‘當你在表演的時候，它會有一些變化。在每一個修改階段，我都會大聲朗讀這本書，但當你坐下來，把麥克風放在面前，當我最終融入所有角色，故事變得生動起來時，情況就不同了?！?”可知，作為讀書人的經(jīng)歷讓Whelan的寫作方式風格發(fā)生了改變。故選D項。

13．細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第四段“Phsphine is a clrless, txic(有毒的)gas that has an dr f garlic. Thugh txic, it is viewed as a pssible sign f life because n Earth the gas is made by micrrganisms that live in xygen-free envirnments.（磷化氫是一種無色的有毒氣體，有大蒜的氣味。雖然有毒，但它被視為可能存在生命的跡象，因為在地球上，這種氣體是由生活在無氧環(huán)境中的微生物產(chǎn)生的。）”可知，它可以由微生物產(chǎn)生。故選C。
14．推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第六段“Scientists have speculated that if life exists n Venus, this clud deck(云蓋)is likely the nly place where it wuld survive.（科學家們猜測，如果金星上存在生命，那么云團可能是生命存在的唯一地方。）”可推知，如果金星上有生命存在，那很可能是在云中。故選D。
15．推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第七段“Scientists went thrugh every pssibility that culd have led t the frmatin f phsphine gas in Venus’ cluds, including vlcanes, lightning strikes, small meterites(隕石)falling int the atmsphere. But they ruled all f them ut.

【導語】本文是一篇應用文。文章主要介紹了法國國家鐵路公司旗下的一些列車類型的相關信息。
16．細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章“TGV”部分中的“These mdern trains run n arund 50 high-speed rutes and always require a reservatin in advance. (這些現(xiàn)代化的列車在大約50條高速線路上運行，總是需要提前預訂。)”以及“Inter-cites”部分中的“Reservatins are usually required n mst Inter-cites services. (大多數(shù)城際列車服務通常需要預訂)”可推知，TGV高鐵和城際列車的共同點是兩者通常都需要預訂。故選C。
17．細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章“TER”部分中的“Lw-cst (低成本)”以及“TER stands fr Transprt Express Reginal and there are 20 different reginal TER services perating acrss France. (TER是區(qū)域運輸快件的縮寫，在法國有20種不同的區(qū)域運輸快件服務。)”可知，TER服務的特別之處在于它以相對較低的成本提供區(qū)域服務。故選D。
18．推理判斷題。根據(jù)“Sleeper trains”部分中的“Operated by Thell, the ppular night train rute in France starts in Paris and wrks its way dwn int Italy. If yu want t save mney n accmmdatin during yur trip, taking a sleeper train lets yu wake up feeling refreshed at yur next destinatin.

【導語】這是一篇記敘文。文章講述了作者小時候受到了爺爺做園藝的熏陶，之后父親決定讓作者從事園藝的故事。
19．推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段中“Granddad’s small plt f land was nthing ut f the rdinary when it came t features. He had nthing as grand as a greenhuse, unlike sme f his neighbrs. Hwever, this little piece f land bre a great part f my carefree and jyful childhd.”（爺爺?shù)哪且恍K土地在特征方面沒有什么特別之處。他沒有像溫室一樣宏偉的東西，不像他的一些鄰居。然而，這片小小的土地承載了我無憂無慮、快樂的童年的很大一部分。）可知，作者認為爺爺?shù)幕▓@承載了自己無憂無慮、快樂的童年的很大的一部分。可推知，作者對在爺爺?shù)幕▓@里度過的快樂時光是肯定的。故選D。
20．推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段中“At hme, his sn, my father, culd be quiet and withdrawn. I wuldn’t want t make him sund humrless. He wasn’t. Silly things wuld amuse him. I came t realize that, deep dwn, he was prbably disappinted that he hadn’t made mre f his life. ”（在家里，他的兒子，我的父親，安靜又孤僻。我不想讓他聽起來毫無幽默感。他沒有（幽默感）。像孩子一般的可笑的事情也會逗他開心。我開始意識到，在內(nèi)心深處，他可能因為他沒有為他的生活做出更多的貢獻而感到失望。）可知，作者意識到父親如同孩子一樣的行為源自父親的內(nèi)心深處對他沒有為生活做出更多的貢獻而感到失望。故選C。
21．推理判斷題。根據(jù)劃線句之后“He had an “eye fr the jb”. Be it bkshelves r a cupbard - what he culd achieve was astnishing. My parents mved huse nly nce in their entire married life. But my father made up fr this lack f daring when it came t furniture. Yu wuld have just gt used t the shape f ne chair when anther appeared.”（他對這份工作很有眼光，無論是書架還是櫥柜，他的成就都令人驚嘆。我父母婚后只搬過一次家。但我父親彌補了他在家具方面的膽怯。你剛剛習慣了一把椅子的形狀，另一把椅子就出現(xiàn)了。）可知，父親對于做家具很擅長，在這個領域可以充分展示他的天賦。所以可推知，劃線短語此處的含義為“父親能展示他自己的天賦”，故選B。
22．推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段“But I like t feel that smewhere inside him was a feeling that things might just turn ut fr the best. Maybe I’m deceiving myself, but I prefer t believe that in his heart, althugh he hated gardening himself, he’d watched me ding it fr lng enugh and nticed my unfailing passin fr all things that grew and flwered and fruited.”（但我喜歡他內(nèi)心深處的那種感覺，覺得事情可能會變得更好。也許我在欺騙自己，但我更愿意相信在他的心里，盡管他自己討厭園藝，但他已經(jīng)看著我做了足夠長的時間，并注意到我對所有生長、開花和結果的事物的不懈熱情。）可知，對于父親決定讓作者去做園丁學徒，作者認為是因為父親看自己做了足夠長的時間，并注意到自己對所有生長、開花和結果的事物的不懈熱情。故選C。

【導語】本文是議論文。文章圍繞鐵路乘客車費再次上漲的問題展開，說明了費用上漲的原因和產(chǎn)生的后果，針對花費上漲作者并不同意。
23．推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段It has becme a grimly reliable annual ritual ... impsing a significant extra burden n thse...由grimly(冷酷地，討厭地)和a significant extra burden(一個巨大的額外負擔)可知，作者對鐵路乘客車費上漲的態(tài)度是負面的。再根據(jù)題干關鍵詞this year’s increase定位到第一段“This year’s rise, an average f 2.7 per cent, may be a fractin lwer than last year’s, but it is still well abve the fficial Cnsumer Price Index (CPI) measure f inflatin.”(今年平均2.7%的上漲，也許比去年的上漲稍微低一些，但是它仍然遠遠高于官方消費者物價指數(shù)衡量的通貨膨脹程度)推知，作者認為車費上漲是不合理的。故選D。
24．細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段“It is all very well train peratrs basting abut the imprvements they are making t the netwrk, but passengers shuld be able t expect a basic level f service fr the substantial sums they are nw paying t travel”(火車運營商宣揚他們對鐵路網(wǎng)作出的改進無可非議，但考慮到乘客如今為出行支付的大量費用，他們理應能夠期待基本水平的服務)可見，在服務方面，列車經(jīng)營者的主張與實際存在著矛盾。故選C。
25．細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段“The threat f natinalisatin may have been seen ff fr nw, but it will return with a vengeance if the justified anger f passengers is nt addressed in shrt rder”(國有化的威脅也許暫時可以避免，但是，如果乘客的正當憤怒不能被立即解決，這種威脅會卷土重來)可見，如果鐵路公司不能讓乘客鎮(zhèn)靜下來，鐵路公司將會面臨國有化的威脅，即所有權的變更。故選D。
26．主旨大意題。文章首段提出鐵路乘客車費再次上漲的問題，即文章討論的主題；二段簡單闡述歷屆政府允許車費上漲的理由；三至四段聚焦于乘客所付車費和享受到的服務不對等的問題。作者認為乘客應該受到補償，英國鐵路服務標準必須得到保障，并指出如果服務得不到保障，乘客將不會無止境地支付更多車費。D項中的Ever-Rising Fares(不斷上漲的車費)是文章討論的主題，Are unreasnable(是不合理的)是作者的觀點。D項完整地概括了全文內(nèi)容。故選D。

27．細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)EASY TO USE中的“Tday, cell phnes are hard t hear, difficult t dial and verladed with features yu may never use. That’s nt the case with the Lively Flip. A large screen and big buttns make it easy t call family and friends, and the pwerful speaker ensures every cnversatin is lud and clear. (如今，手機聽起來很難聽，很難撥號，而且功能繁多，你可能永遠都用不到。但Lively Flip的情況并非如此。大屏幕和大按鈕讓打電話給家人和朋友很容易，強大的揚聲器確保每一次對話都是響亮和清晰的)”可知A項(它摒棄了不必要的功能)、B項(它保證了每次通話的高質量)是Lively Flip的特點，再根據(jù)文章中的“The Lively Flip is ne f the mst affrdable cell phnes n the market and cmes with reliable natinwide cverage. Yu can even keep yur current landline r cell phne number. (Lively Flip是市場上最實惠的手機之一，具有可靠的全國覆蓋。你甚至可以保留你現(xiàn)在的座機或手機號碼)”可知C選項(它不需要更改電話號碼)也是Lively Flip的特點，D選項“它使用戶可以隨時呼叫醫(yī)生尋求幫助”文章沒有提到，故選D。
28．推理判斷題。根據(jù)EASY TO USE中的“Tday, cell phnes are hard t hear, difficult t dial and verladed with features yu may never use. That’s nt the case with the Lively Flip. A large screen and big buttns make it easy t call family and friends, and the pwerful speaker ensures every cnversatin is lud and clear. (如今，手機聽起來很難聽，很難撥號，而且功能繁多，你可能永遠都用不到。但Lively Flip的情況并非如此。大屏幕和大按鈕讓打電話給家人和朋友很容易，強大的揚聲器確保每一次對話都是響亮和清晰的)”可知Lively Flip手機打電話操作方便，聲音質量好，所以推斷它特別適合不熟悉數(shù)字技術的老年人，故選C。
29．細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)EASY TO BE PREPARED部分“Life has a way f being unpredictable, but yu can be prepared in an uncertain r unsafe situatin with Urgent Respnse Service. Simply press the Urgent Respnse buttn t speak with a highly trained Agent wh can cnfirm yur lcatin, evaluate yur situatin and get yu the help yu need, 24/7.(做好準備生活有一種不可預測的方式，但您可以通過緊急響應服務在不確定或不安全的情況下做好準備。只需按下緊急響應按鈕，即可與訓練有素的代理人交談，該代理人可以確認您的位置，評估您的情況，并為您提供所需的幫助，全天候)”可知，緊急響應按鈕的設計是Lively Flip獨有的。故選B。

31．細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中“The Rmans had their pubs serving set meals and ck shps called thermplia selling ht ready-t-eat dishes. In the Middle Ages, inns wuld prvide buffets f cld meats r rasts t serve the many peple wh didn’t have kitchens.(羅馬人的酒吧提供套餐和名為thermplia的烹飪店，出售熱騰騰的即食菜肴。在中世紀，小旅館會提供冷肉或烤肉的自助餐，為許多沒有廚房的人服務)”可知，“restaurant”一詞最初是指一種食物。故選B。
32．推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段中William Sitwell說的話“Intended r nt, restaurants can signpst bth the decline and success f an Empire(無論有意無意，餐館都可以標志一個帝國的衰落和成功)”及“The extrardinary advancement f the dining scene f ancient Pmpeii was indicative f the Rman Empire’s visin breadth and bming.

33．主旨大意題。根據(jù)全文內(nèi)容，結合第一段中“Eating ut ges a lng way back.(外出就餐的歷史可以追溯到很久以前)”可知，文章主要介紹了餐館的歷史和進化過程。故選D。

35．推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段“I believe it is best described as natural skill plus imaginatin—the latter being the mst difficult quality t assess. And it has a lt t d with the persn’s curage and their belief in what they are ding and the way they are putting it acrss. (我認為最好用自然技能加上想象力來形容，后者是最難評估的品質。這與這個人的勇氣、他們對自己所做的事情的信念以及他們表達的方式有很大關系)”可知，就演出而言，作者最可能同意天才演員通常是那些想象力豐富的演員的說法。故選B。
36．推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段“Disappintment is the greatest enemy f the actr. Last mnth yu may have been ut f wrk, selling clthes r waitressing. Suddenly yu are asked t auditin (試鏡) fr a part, but hwever much yu want the jb, the truth is that it maybe denied yu. S actrs tend nt t talk abut their chances.

(失望是演員最大的敵人。上個月你可能失業(yè)了，賣衣服或當服務員。突然，你被要求試鏡一個角色，但不管你多么想要這份工作，事實是它可能會拒絕你。所以演員們往往不會談論自己的機會。他們想出了保護自己免受競爭角色壓力和被拒絕可能性的方法)”可知，關于失望，作者暗示演員應該習慣它。故選C。
37．主旨大意題。根據(jù)第一段“Once yu chse t becme an actr, many peple wh yu thught were yur clsest friends will tell yu yu’re crazy, thugh sme may react quite differently. N tw peple will give yu the same advice. (一旦你選擇成為一名演員，許多你認為是你最親密的朋友的人會告訴你你瘋了，盡管有些人的反應可能截然不同) ”可知，本文講述了你想成為演員，就要靠自己，以及在下文提供了一些關于演藝的知識。由此可知，“所以你想成為一名演員”適合作本文最佳標題。作者以總結的口吻提出了你的愿望，是最佳標題。故選A。
