Here are a few of Bill Gates favorites in 2018.21 Lessons for the 21st CenturyAuthor: Yuval Noah HarariPrice: $20.2The author, who is a really strong thinker, makes it clear that

13、big problems are not solvable by a single country. He finds that human mind wants to worry about the dilemmas we face today. The book is a better framework for all the problems that people are worrying about.Meditation and MindfulnessAuthor: Andy PuddicombePrice: $18.5When you meditate, they sometim

14、es say you should empty your mind, but that really never happens. So the authors analogy (比喻) is ideas that are like clouds coming across your head. You should just push away gently. If the book can get people doing 10 minutes daily meditation, that is fantastic for relaxing your mind.Army of NoneAu

15、thor: Paul ScharrePrice: $46.1It is about what armies are going to look like in the future. Should a drone (無(wú)人機(jī)) be able to go out and find enemies and attack them? Should the software be letting the humans make the decisions or not? The author is warning that we need to hold back and not go all the

16、 way to robotic warfare. The author thinks we should not give up human involvement in these weapons.Bad BloodAuthor: John CarreyrouPrice: $43.4It is a story of secrets and lies in a Silicon Valley start-up. Theranos, the founders were doing diagnostics (診斷) that can be very cheap, not need as much b

In fact, they had been giving patients diagnoses, which were actually dangerous because they were so wrong. It is a thriller with a tragic ending.1、Which book is suitable for a person who w

19、we laugh and get amusement from so many different things, from puns (雙關(guān)語(yǔ)) to pratfalls? Why are some things funny to some people and not to others? How is that while a successful joke can cause pleasure, a sick one can cause serious harm?Over the centuries, various scholars have attempted to produce

20、 a universally agreed-upon theory of humor. Plato and Aristotle introduced the superiority(優(yōu)越感) theory, the idea that people laugh at the misfortune of others. Their theory seems to explain teasing, but it doesnt work well for knock-knock jokes. Sigmund Freud argued for his relief theory, the concep

21、t that humor is a way for people to release psychological tension and reveal their inner fears and desires. His theory works well for dirty jokes, less well for most puns.The majority of humor expels today agree with the incongruity theory, the idea that humor arises when theres a gap between what p

22、eople expect to happen and what actually happens. Incongruity has a lot going for it jokes with unexpected funny lines, for example, fit well. But scientists have found that in comedy, unexpectedness is overvalued.With the goal of developing a new, more satisfactory explanation, I produced “the gent

23、le violation(違背) theory”, the idea that humor arises when something seems wrong or threatening, but is actually OK or safe. A dirty joke, for example, trades on moral or social violations, but its only going to get a laugh if the person listening is open enough to consider the subject OK to talk abo

24、ut. Similarly, puns can be seen as linguistic violations that still make grammatical sense.And while most humor theories have struggled to account for tickling (撓癢癢), or just avoided the phenomenon altogether, my theory accounts for even this kind of laughter. Tickling involves violating someones ph

25、ysical space in a gentle way. People cant tickle themselves because it isnt a violation.1、What is the authors attitude towards Plato and Aristotles theory?ACritical.BApproving.CUncaringDUnclear.2、According to Sigmund Freuds theory, we can infer that _.Apeople will laugh when they see others sufferBt

26、elling dirty jokes is a relief of ones nervous feelingsCunexpectedness can explain how humor worksDtickling doesnt involve psychological tension3、According to the author, why are some things funny to some people but not to others?ABecause the sense of humor varies greatly from person to person.BBeca

27、use people have different expectations for the same thing.CBecause some people lack the sense of safety deep in their heart.DBecause peoples understanding of violation is different.4、What is the authors main purpose of writing this passage?ATo draw peoples attention to the research of humor.BTo crit

28、icize peoples misconceptions about humor.CTo explain what exactly causes people to laugh.DTo prove the sense of humor can be developed.23（8分）A billionaire has recently made one of the biggest charitable（慈善的）donations to a university in Chinas history. Chen Tianqiao donated $115 million to the Califo

29、rnia Institute of Technology (Caltech) to help advanced brain research. The donation will be spent deepening the understanding of how the brain works. Chen has been interested to brain research, believing it can shape the industries such as artificial intelligence and virtual reality. However, this

30、huge donation has caused heated discussing among Chinese scholars and internet users alike.Many criticized him for choosing to give money to a foreign university rather than home institutes for brain research, which are developing fast and are on track to catch up with the US in just a few years. Ra

31、o Yi, a biologist at Peking University, even said the donation was a typical mistake.Others, however, support his choice. They believe Caltech is a more reasonable choice compared to Chinese research institutions. Caltech has a long history and has taken a leading position in biology, and therefore

32、it produces more efficient results. In addition, the results of the research benefit not only the American people, but also the rest of the world.A similar controversial case started two years ago when Pan Shiyi, chairman of SOHO China, donated $15 million to Harvard University to help disadvantaged

33、 Chinese students.Many believe that China is still behind in the management and use of donated money, and that as a result, Chinese charity donators are looking abroad. In comparison, Western countries like the US, which have a long history of donating money, have well-developed systems that use mon

34、ey efficiently. They can also provide full access for donors who want to track the use of the money. To get more donations, Chinese universities should be braver and more honest. They need self-reflection, rather than envy.1、Why did Chens donation draw criticism?AIt was not given to a Chinese univer

35、sity.BIt was one of the largest to Caltech.CIt was not used efficiently in the USADIt was used in brain research.2、What is the reason for some people in favor of Chens choice?AThe Chinese are just too enviousBThe achievements will benefit the whole worldCCaltech is a university with a longer history

36、DThe fund can help disadvantaged Chinese students3、What is then authors purpose to mention Pan Shiyi in the passage?ATo suggest the enthusiasm of the billionairesBTo show off generosity of the billionairesCTo inform Chinese students are poor at academyDTo stress the disagreement over donating abroad

37、.4、What does the author think of the Chinese universities should do to get more fund?Aexplore artificial intelligence Bdevelop efficient systemsCgrow fast and catch up with the US Deducate more honest graduates24（8分）Mrs. Jones was my first patient when I started medical schooland I owe her a lot.She

38、 was under my care for the first two years of my medical training, yet I knew very little about her, except that she was thin, perhaps in her mid 70s. It might seem rather negligent not to know the basic facts of my patient, but I had a valid reasonMrs. Jones was dead, and had been dead for about th

39、ree years before I made a patient of her. Mrs. Jones was the dead body that I dissected（解剖）over the first two years of my medical training.Of course, her name wasnt really Mrs. Jones, but it seemed a little impolite to be conducting research into someones body without even knowing its name, so out o

40、f courtesy, I thought she should have one. “Me and Mrs. Jones, weve got a thing going on,” went the song coming out of the radio as I unzipped the bag of her on my first day and so she was christened.As the months passed, I soon forgot that Mrs. Jones had, in fact, once been alive. One day, though,

41、she suddenly became very human again. Id been dissecting Mrs. Jones a good 18 months before I got around to the uterus（子宮）. After Id removed it, the professor came up to me, “If you look at the opening carefully, youll see that the angle indicates that this woman has had several children, probably t

42、hree.” I stared at it, and I suddenly felt very strange. This woman, who had given me something incredibly precious that Id begun to take for granted, wasnt a dead body. She was a person, a mother, in fact.At my graduation, the same professor came over to congratulate me. I explained the story about

43、 Mrs. Jones to him, and recalled what hed told me about her having children and how that had affected me all those years ago.“Well,” he said, “at the beginning of your training you had a dead body and managed to turn it into a person. Now youre a doctor, the trick is to have a person and not turn th

44、em into a dead body,” and he laughed, shook my hand and walked away.1、Why didnt the author know much about Mrs. Jones?ABecause he was irresponsible for his patients.BBecause he wasnt allowed to ask for her privacy.CBecause he didnt know her until she passed away.DBecause he was too careless while di

45、ssecting her.2、How did Mrs. Jones get her name?AIt was passed down from the seniors of my school.BIt came from a song being played when we first met.CShe was named after a well-known singer I liked best.DIt just occurred to me when I opened the bag of her.3、What could be the authors feeling for Mrs.

46、 Jones now?AGrateful. BPitiless.CHateful. DGuilty.4、What did the professor imply by his words in the last paragraph?AMedical students are able to bring the dead back to life.BBeing a doctor has nothing to do with the medical training.CGood doctors never fail to save their patients from dying.DMedica

47、l staff ought to have respect for life and humanity.25（10分） We humans love to stare into our smart devices.We gaze for hoursabout 10 hours and 39 minutes a dayat our computers，smartphones，tablets and televisions.Is all this staring bad for us? It might be，mainly because as we stare at our devices we

48、 are exposing ourselves to blue light.Blue light is a type of electromagnetic radiation with a very short wavelength that produces a high amount of energy.While its true that light can damage our eyes under certain circumstances，theres no scientific evidence suggesting that blue light is harmful to

49、our eyes.But many people still think it is，which is why blue lightblocking glasses are so popular.So do the glasses work?“Everyone is very concerned that blue light may be causing damage to the eye，but theres no evidence that it may be causing serious damage，”Dr.Rahul Khurana，clinical spokesman for

50、the American Academy of Ophthalmologists，told Business Insider.Blue light exposure is nothing new.In fact，the sun is the largest source of blue light.Moreover，blue light is also present in LED light.But if blue light isnt harmful，then why are we constantly rubbing our eyes when were looking at our s

51、creens? The answer is eyestrain(眼疲勞):More than 60 percent of people experience eye problems associated with digital eyestrain.And blue light，it seems，isnt the cause.Instead，our eyes are so strained because most of us blink less when we stare at our digital devices.So if eyestrain is the real issue，b

52、lue light-blocking glasses are probably of little use.1、What do we know about blue light?AIt is a kind of nuclear radiation.BIt has the shortest wavelength.CIt may come from electronic devices.DIt consumes a great deal of energy.2、What causes the popularity of blue light-blocking glasses?AEvidence o

53、f their benefits to eyes.BBelief in blue lights harmful effect.CWidespread use of smart devices.DScientific understanding of blue light.3、What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?ABlue light exposure is hardly avoidable.BEye problems are not easy to deal with.CBlue 1ight may connect with tired eyes.DRu

54、bbing eyes makes people strained.4、According to the text，wearing blue light-blocking glasses may be_.AtiringBharmfulCuselessDbeneficial第三部分 語(yǔ)言知識(shí)運(yùn)用（共兩節(jié)）第一節(jié)（每小題1.5分，滿分30分）閱讀下面短文，從短文后各題所給的A、B、C和D四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中，選出可以填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)26（30分）One day a well-dressed woman was walking down the street when she spied a beggar

55、sitting on the comer near a cafeteria. He was elderly, unshaven, and in 1 . Pedestrians walked by giving him 2 looks. Clearly they wanted nothing to do with him. She 3 and looked down. “Sir?” she asked. “Are you all right?”Thinking that she would make 4 of him, like so many others had done before, h
