Warren
Edward
Buffett
was
born
on
August
30,
1930.
As
the
second
oldest
kid
in
his
family,
he
has
two
sisters.
He
showed
an
amazing
talent
（天资)for
both
money
and
business
at
a
very
early
age.
At
the
age
of
six,
Buffett
bought
six-packs
of
Coca-Cola
from
his
grandfather's
store
for
twenty-five
cents
and
resold
each
of
the
bottles
for
five
cents.
While
other
children
of
his
age
were
playing,
Buffett
was
making
money.
Five
years
later,
Buffett
took
his
first
step
into
the
world
of
high
finance
(金融).
At
eleven
years
old,
he
bought
three
shares
(股票)of
Cities
Service
Preferred
(CSP)
at
$
38
per
share
for
both
himself
and
his
sister,
Doris.
Shortly
after
buying
them,
the
shares
fell
to
just
over
$
27
per
share.
Though
Buffett
felt
frightened,
he
held
his
shares
until
they
went
up
to
$
40.
He
immediately
sold
them—a
mistake
he
would
soon
come
to
regret,
because
each
share
of
the
CSP
went
up
to
$
200.
The
experience
taught
him
that
investing
(投资)needed
time
and
a
patient
wait.
In
1947,
Buffett
graduated
from
high
school
when
he
was
17
years
old.
It
was
never
his
plan
to
go
to
college.
He
had
already
made
$
5,000
by
delivering
newspapers.
His
father
had
other
plans
and
strongly
advised
his
son
to
attend
the
Wharton
Business
School
at
the
University
of
Pennsylvania.
Buffett
only
stayed
there
for
two
years,
saying
that
he
knew
more
than
his
professors.
He
returned
home
and
went
to
the
University
of
Nebraska-Lincoln.
Despite
working
full-time,he
managed
to
graduate
in
only
three
years.
Buffett
approached
graduate
studies
with
the
same
resistance
he
displayed
a
few
years
earlier.
He
was
finally
persuaded
to
apply
to
Harvard
Business
School,which
refused
him
because
he
was
too
young.
Buffett
then
applied
to
Columbia
University,
where
he
got
an
experience
that
would
forever
change
his
life
from
famous
investors
Ben
Graham
and
David
Dodd.
4.

Buffett?

showed
a

business
in

born
in
a

loving
family.
C.
He
often
made
mistakes
during
his
childhood.
D.
He
didn't
get
along
well
with
his
sisters.
5.
What
did
Buffett
learn
from
his
experience
of
buying
CSP
shares?

Investment
needs
patience.

Regretting
is

in
the
investment.
C.

The
TV
series,
The
Longest
Day
in
Chang'an,
which
was
shown
on
Chinese
online
platforms
last
summer
became
a
hit
soon.
Since
then,
it
has
been
shown
on
partnering
streaming
platforms
and
TV
networks
abroad.
Some
websites
overseas
also
offered
the
program
to
their
users
paying
for
it—the
first
time
a
Chinese
series
was
broadcast
as
paid
content
abroad.
“I
was
amazed
by
the
overseas
audience's
love
for
this
show，”
Cao
Dun,
director
of
The
Longest
Day
in
Chang'an
,
told
Beijing
Review.
“I
was
worried
that
they
wouldn't
understand
the
complex
political
structure
of
the
Tang
Dynasty.
But
in
reality,
the
show
is
prompting
foreign
audiences
to
research
Tang
Dynasty's
history
to
better
understand
the
plot.”
The
unique
culture
in
ancient
China
is
not
a
barrier
but
a
bridge
to
connect
with
foreign
audiences.
In
the
TV
series,
every
figure
is
given
enough
space
to
flesh
out
his
or
her
character.
Telling
stories
of
ordinary
Chinese
people
that
resonate
(引起共鸣)
with
the
audience
might
be
the
way
to
communicate
with
the
world.
“The
success
of
the
TV
series
shows
that
beauty
is
a
universal
language
crossing
borders，”
he
told
Beijing
Review.
His
ambition
is
to
distinguish
Chinese
dramas
from
the
TV
shows
in
the
rest
of
the
world.
“The
TV
series
is
a
step
in
my
plan
to
tell
Chinese
stories
to
the
world，”
Cao
said.
“After
describing
the
impressive
beauty
of
the
Tang
Dynasty,
I
am
looking
for
several
plays
that
tell
stories
of
today's
China.
I
don't
want
to
copy
any
country's
production.
Chinese
dramas
have
to
be
built
on
our
rich
culture
and
Chinese
people's
everyday
life，”
Cao
added.
8.
What
do
we
know
about
the
TV
series?
A.
It
was
first
put
on
overseas.
B.
It
can
be
appreciated
for
free.
C.
It
was
very
popular
once
it
was
shown.
D.
It
is
about
the
development
of
the
Tang
Dynasty.
9.
What
does
the
underlined
word
“prompting”
in
Paragraph
2
probably
mean?
A.
Requiring.
B.
Reminding.
C.
Informing.
D.
Encouraging.
10.
What
made
the
TV
series
a
success?
A.
Recognition
of
beauty.
B.
Stories
of
ordinary
people.
C.
Diversity
of
Chinese
culture.
D.
Personalities
of
every
figure.
11.
What
is
Cao
Dun's
ambition?
A.
To
make
a
successful
TV
series.
B.
To
tell
Chinese
stories
to
the
world.
C.
To
show
China's
different
nationalities
D.
To
learn
the
ancient
political
structure.

Robots
are
getting
better
at
doing
human
jobs.
That's
probably
good
for
the
economy—but
there
are
some
serious
downsides,
too.
Machines
are
expected
to
displace
about
20
million
manufacturing
jobs
across
the
world
over
the
next
decade,
according
to
a
report
released
by
Oxford
Economics,
a
global
forecasting
and
quantitative
analysis
firm.
That
means
about
8.5%
of
the
global
manufacturing
workforce
could
be
displaced
by
robots.
The
report
also
notes
that
the
move
to
robots
tends
to
create
new
jobs
as
fast
as
it
automates
them;
however,
it
could
contribute
to
income
inequality.
The
use
of
robots
is
on
the
rise:
at
this
point,
every
new
robot
that
is
installed
(安装)
displaces
1.6
manufacturing
workers
on
average,
according
to
the
Oxford
Economic
model.
Robots
are
becoming
cheaper
than
many
human
workers,
in
part
because
of
the
falling
costs
of
machines.
And
they
are
increasingly
capable
of
functioning
in
more
complex
processes
and
varied
contexts.
On
top
of
that,
the
demand
for
manufactured
goods
is
rising.
One
potential
downsize
to
the
robot
revolution:
automation
could
increase
income
inequality.
"This
great
displacement
will
not
be
evenly
distributed
around
the
world,
or
within
countries,"
according
to
the
report.
"Our
research
shows
that
the
negative
effects
of
robotization
are
disproportionately
(不成比例地)
felt
in
the
lower-income
regions
compared
with
higher-income
regions
of
the
same
country."
The
workers
who
drive
knowledge
and
innovation
within
the
manufacturing
industry
tend
to
be
concentrated
in
larger
cities,
and
those
skills
are
harder
to
automate.
That's
why
urban
areas
will
deal
better
with
the
increased
automation,
according
to
the
report.
On
the
whole,
the
increased
use
of
automation
will
likely
create
new
jobs
at
a
pace
comparable
to
the
jobs
that
will
be
lost,
which
cancels
out
fears
about
permanent
job
destruction,
according
to
the
Oxford
study.
That
said,
the
poorer
regions
that
are
expected
to
lose
the
most
jobs
will
probably
not
benefit
equally
from
this
new
job
creation
due
to
a
gap
in
skills.
That
will
lead
to
increased
income
inequality
between
cities
and
rural
areas,
as
well
as
between
regions.
12.
What
"downside"
does
the
author
mainly
discuss?
A.
People
will
not
be
able
to
find
jobs
in
the
future.
B.
Robots
will
finally
take
the
place
of
people.
C.
Displacement
by
robots
will
increase
income
inequality.
D.
Robots
are
becoming
cheaper
than
many
human
workers.
13.
What
do
the
workers
need
to
do
to
compete
with
robots
in
the
future?
A.
To
make
robots
help
them
with
the
harder
work.
B.
To
improve
their
innovative
ability
and
knowledge.
C.
To
move
to
larger
cities
or
more
developed
countries.
D.
To
make
their
skills
faster
and
easier
to
be
automated.
14.
What
is
the
main
idea
of
the
last
paragraph?
A.
The
increased
use
of
automation
will
create
more
jobs.
B.
People
needn't
worry
about
permanent
job
destruction.
C.
The
poorer
countries
will
not
benefit
from
automation.
D.
The
income
gap
between
cities
and
rural
regions
will
widen.
15.
What
can
we
conclude
from
the
passage?
A.
Robots
should
be
banned
in
the
future
because
of
the
disadvantages.
B.
Robots
can
do
more
and
better
than
humans
in
complicated
processes.
C.
The
increasing
need
for
manufactured
goods
partly
contributes
to
robotization.
D.
The
negative
effects
of
robotization
will
be
evenly
distributed
around
the
world.

A
Few
Tips
for
Self?Acceptance
We
all
want
it…
to
accept
and
love
ourselves.
But
at
times
it
seems
too
difficult
and
too
far
out
of
reach.
Where
do
you
start？Here's
a
handful
of
ways
that
will
set
you
in
the
right
direction.
___16___
Do
not
follow
the
people
who
make
you
feel
not?good?enough.
Why
do
you
follow
them?
Are
you
hoping
that
eventually
you
will
feel
empowered
because
your
life
is
better
than
theirs?
Know
that
your
life
is
your
own；you
are
the
only
you
in
this
world.
___17___
We
are
often
ashamed
of
our
shortcomings,
our
mistakes
and
our
failures.
Remember,
you
are
only
human.
You
will
make
mistakes,
time
and
time
again.
Rather
than
getting
caught
up
in
how
you
could
have
done
better,
why
not
offer
yourself
a
compassionate(有同情心的)
response?
“That
didn't
go
as
planned.
But,
I
tried
my
best.”
___18___
Write
them
down
in
a
journal.
Begin
to
train
your
brain
to
look
at
strengths
before
weaknesses.
List
all
of
your
accomplishments
and
achievements.
You
have
a
job,
earned
your
degree,
and
you
got
out
of
bed
today.
___19___
___20___
Turn
the
page
in
your
journal.
Put
into
words
why
you
feel
unworthy,
why
you
don't
feel
good
enough.
Now,
read
these
words
back
to
yourself.
Feeling
upset
again？Turn
to
a
page
in
your
journal
to
your
list
of
strengths
and
achievements.
See
how
awesome
you
are?
A.
Nothing
is
too
small
to
celebrate.
B.
Now
that
you've
listed
your
strengths,
list
your
imperfections.
C.
Others'
encouragement
can
contribute
to
your
self?acceptance.
D.
Forgive
yourself
for
mistakes
that
you
have
made.
E.
Without
self?acceptance,
you
won’t
have
enough
strengths
to
face
the
challenges
in
your
life.
F.
Stop
comparing
yourself
with
others.
G.
Recognize
all
of
your
strengths.

Warren
Edward
Buffett
was
born
on
August
30,
1930.
As
the
second
oldest
kid
in
his
family,
he
has
two
sisters.
He
showed
an
amazing
talent
（天资)for
both
money
and
business
at
a
very
early
age.
At
the
age
of
six,
Buffett
bought
six-packs
of
Coca-Cola
from
his
grandfather's
store
for
twenty-five
cents
and
resold
each
of
the
bottles
for
five
cents.
While
other
children
of
his
age
were
playing,
Buffett
was
making
money.
Five
years
later,
Buffett
took
his
first
step
into
the
world
of
high
finance
(金融).
At
eleven
years
old,
he
bought
three
shares
(股票)of
Cities
Service
Preferred
(CSP)
at
$
38
per
share
for
both
himself
and
his
sister,
Doris.
Shortly
after
buying
them,
the
shares
fell
to
just
over
$
27
per
share.
Though
Buffett
felt
frightened,
he
held
his
shares
until
they
went
up
to
$
40.
He
immediately
sold
them—a
mistake
he
would
soon
come
to
regret,
because
each
share
of
the
CSP
went
up
to
$
200.
The
experience
taught
him
that
investing
(投资)needed
time
and
a
patient
wait.
In
1947,
Buffett
graduated
from
high
school
when
he
was
17
years
old.
It
was
never
his
plan
to
go
to
college.
He
had
already
made
$
5,000
by
delivering
newspapers.
His
father
had
other
plans
and
strongly
advised
his
son
to
attend
the
Wharton
Business
School
at
the
University
of
Pennsylvania.
Buffett
only
stayed
there
for
two
years,
saying
that
he
knew
more
than
his
professors.
He
returned
home
and
went
to
the
University
of
Nebraska-Lincoln.
Despite
working
full-time,he
managed
to
graduate
in
only
three
years.
Buffett
approached
graduate
studies
with
the
same
resistance
he
displayed
a
few
years
earlier.
He
was
finally
persuaded
to
apply
to
Harvard
Business
School,which
refused
him
because
he
was
too
young.
Buffett
then
applied
to
Columbia
University,
where
he
got
an
experience
that
would
forever
change
his
life
from
famous
investors
Ben
Graham
and
David
Dodd.

He
showed
a
natural

do
business
in

in
a

loving
family.
C.
He
often
made
mistakes
during
his
childhood.
D.

didn't
get
along
well
with
his
sisters.
5.
What
did
Buffett
learn
from
his
experience
of
buying
CSP
shares?
A.
Investment
needs
patience.

Regretting
is

in
the
investment.
C.

are

during
the
investment.

The
TV
series,
The
Longest
Day
in
Chang
'an
,
which
was
shown
on
Chinese
online
platforms
last
summer
became
a
hit
soon.
Since
then,
it
has
been
shown
on
partnering
streaming
platforms
and
TV
networks
abroad.
Some
websites
overseas
also
offered
the
program
to
their
users
paying
for
it—the
first
time
a
Chinese
series
was
broadcast
as
paid
content
abroad.
“I
was
amazed
by
the
overseas
audience's
love
for
this
show，”
Cao
Dun,
director
of
The
Longest
Day
in
Chang'an,
told
Beijing
Review.
“I
was
worried
that
they
wouldn't
understand
the
complex
political
structure
of
the
Tang
Dynasty.
But
in
reality,
the
show
is
prompting
foreign
audiences
to
research
Tang
Dynasty's
history
to
better
understand
the
plot.”
The
unique
culture
in
ancient
China
is
not
a
barrier
but
a
bridge
to
connect
with
foreign
audiences.
In
the
TV
series,
every
figure
is
given
enough
space
to
flesh
out
his
or
her
character.
Telling
stories
of
ordinary
Chinese
people
that
resonate
(引起共鸣)
with
the
audience
might
be
the
way
to
communicate
with
the
world.
“The
success
of
the
TV
series
shows
that
beauty
is
a
universal
language
crossing
borders，”
he
told
Beijing
Review.
His
ambition
is
to
distinguish
Chinese
dramas
from
the
TV
shows
in
the
rest
of
the
world.
“The
TV
series
is
a
step
in
my
plan
to
tell
Chinese
stories
to
the
world，”
Cao
said.
“After
describing
the
impressive
beauty
of
the
Tang
Dynasty,
I
am
looking
for
several
plays
that
tell
stories
of
today's
China.
I
don't
want
to
copy
any
country's
production.
Chinese
dramas
have
to
be
built
on
our
rich
culture
and
Chinese
people's
everyday
life，”
Cao
added.

do
we
know
about
the
TV
series?
A.
It
was
first
put
on
overseas.
B.
It
can
be
appreciated
for
free.
C.
It
was
very
popular
once
it
was
shown.
D.
It
is
about
the
development
of
the
Tang
Dynasty.
9.
What
does
the
underlined
word
“prompting”
in
Paragraph
2
probably
mean?
A.
Requiring.
B.
Reminding.
C.
Informing.
D.
Encouraging.
10.
What
made
the
TV
series
a
success?

Recognition
of
beauty.
B.
Stories

Diversity

Chinese
culture.
D.
Personalities
of

Cao
Dun's

【分析】这是一篇新闻报道。短文讲述了去年夏天在中国很火的电视剧电视剧《长安十二时辰》，也在国外流媒体和海外网站播放，一些海外网站也向付费用户提供了这个节目,这部电视剧的成功表明,美是一种跨越国界的通用语言。
【详解】1.细节理解题。根据第一段第一句第二句“The
TV
series,
The
Longest
Day
in
Chang'an,
which
was
shown
on
Chinese
online
platforms
last
summer
became
a

Since
then,
it
has
been
shown
on
partnering
streaming
platforms
and
TV
networks
abroad.”（去年夏天，电视剧《长安十二时辰》在国内各大网络平台上播出后，迅速走红。从那以后，它已经在国外的合作流媒体平台和电视网络上播出。）可知，它一上映就很受欢迎。故选C。
2.词义猜测题。根据转折词but可知，前后句意相反，前文“I
was
worried
that
they
wouldn't
understand
the
complex
political
structure
of
the
Tang
Dynasty”（我担心他们无法理解唐朝复杂的政治结构）将外国观众可能无法理解唐朝历史，所以后文是讲这部电视剧反而鼓励了外国观众搜索唐朝历史来更好地理解情节。所以prompting和encouraging词义相同。故选D。
3.细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“The
success
of
the
TV
series
shows
that
beauty
is
a
universal
language
crossing
borders”（这部电视剧的成功表明，美是一种跨越国界的通用语言）可知，对美的认同使这部电视剧获得成功。故选A。
4.细节理解题。根据最后一段第一句“His
ambition
is
to
distinguish
Chinese
dramas
from
the
TV
shows
in
the
rest
of
the
world.
“The
TV
series
is
a

my

to
tell
Chinese

to
the
world，”
Cao
said.
”（他的抱负是让中国电视剧从世界其他地方的电视剧中脱颖而出。他的抱负是让中国电视剧从世界其他地方的电视剧中脱颖而出。曹文轩说:“这部电视剧是我向世界讲述中国故事计划中的一步。”）可知，Cao
Dun的抱负是向世界讲述中国故事。故选B。

Robots
are
getting
better
at
doing
human
jobs.
That's
probably
good
for
the
economy—but
there
are
some
serious
downsides,
too.
Machines
are
expected
to
displace
about
20
million
manufacturing
jobs
across
the
world
over
the
next
decade,
according
to
a
report
released
by
Oxford
Economics,
a
global
forecasting
and
quantitative
analysis
firm.
That
means
about
8.5%
of
the
global
manufacturing
workforce
could
be
displaced
by
robots.
The
report
also
notes
that
the
move
to
robots
tends
to
create
new
jobs
as
fast
as
it
automates
them;
however,
it
could
contribute
to
income
inequality.
The
use
of
robots
is
on
the
rise:
at
this
point,
every
new
robot
that
is
installed
(安装)
displaces
1.6
manufacturing
workers
on
average,
according
to
the
Oxford
Economic
model.
Robots
are
becoming
cheaper
than
many
human
workers,
in
part
because
of
the
falling
costs
of
machines.
And
they
are
increasingly
capable
of
functioning
in
more
complex
processes
and
varied
contexts.
On
top
of
that,
the
demand
for
manufactured
goods
is
rising.
One
potential
downsize
to
the
robot
revolution:
automation
could
increase
income
inequality.
"This
great
displacement
will
not
be
evenly
distributed
around
the
world,
or
within
countries,"
according
to
the
report.
"Our
research
shows
that
the
negative
effects
of
robotization
are
disproportionately
(不成比例地)
felt
in
the
lower-income
regions
compared
with
higher-income
regions
of
the
same
country."
The
workers
who
drive
knowledge
and
innovation
within
the
manufacturing
industry
tend
to
be
concentrated
in
larger
cities,
and
those
skills
are
harder
to
automate.
That's
why
urban
areas
will
deal
better
with
the
increased
automation,
according
to
the
report.
On
the
whole,
the
increased
use
of
automation
will
likely
create
new
jobs
at
a
pace
comparable
to
the
jobs
that
will
be
lost,
which
cancels
out
fears
about
permanent
job
destruction,
according
to
the
Oxford
study.
That
said,
the
poorer
regions
that
are
expected

这是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了机器人越来越擅长做人类的工作。这可能对经济有好处，但也有一些严重的负面影响。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第五段“One
potential
downsize
to
the
robot
revolution:
automation
could
increase
income
inequality.”（机器人革命的一个潜在缩减:自动化可能会加剧收入不平等。）可知，机器人的替代将加剧收入不平等。故选C。

knowledge
and
innovation
within
the
manufacturing
industry
tend
to
be
concentrated
in
larger
cities,

skills
are
harder
to
automate.
That's
why
urban
areas
will
deal
better
with
the
increased
automation,
according
to
the
report.”（在制造业中推动知识和创新的工人往往集中在较大的城市，而这些技能更难实现自动化。报告称，这就是为什么城市地区将更好地应对自动化程度提高的原因。）可知，工人需要提高他们的创新能力和知识，以在未来与机器人竞争。故选B。

for
manufactured
goods
is
rising.”（除此之外，对制成品的需求也在上升。）可推知，对制成品日益增长的需求在一定程度上推动了机器人化。故选C。

Few
Tips
for
Self?Acceptance
We
all
want
it…
to
accept

ourselves.
But
at

it
seems
too

feel
empowered
because

Know
that
your
life
is
your
own；you
are
the
only
you
in
this
world.
___17___
We
are

ashamed

shortcomings,
our
mistakes
and
our
failures.
Remember,

mistakes,
time

time
again.

you

have
done
better,
why
not
offer
yourself
a
compassionate(有同情心的)
response?

I
tried
my
best.”

【解析】
这是一篇记叙文。讲述了作者通过分享邻居家的果子增进了朋友之间的友谊。
【36题详解】
考查被动语态。句意：当善良传递给他人时，新的友谊正在形成，现有的友谊也在加强。根据后文“new
friendships
are
forming
and
existing
ones
are
strengthening”可知，此处时态可用一般现在时或现在进行时，谓语动词pass和主语之间是被动关系，应用被动语态，结构为be
done或be
being
done，因主语kindness为第三人称单数，主谓一致，故填is
passed/
is
being
passed。
【37题详解】

sb
to
do

pick。

sth是动词固定用法，动名词作介词in的宾语，in可省略。故填chatting。
【39题详解】
考查介词。句意：此外，她还给了我们很多水果来分给我们的朋友。in
addition“另外；此外”是介词短语，固定搭配，句子首字母大写，故填In。
【40题详解】
考查代词。句意：此外，她还给了我们很多水果来分给我们的朋友。根据空格后的名词friends，可知此处应填形容词性物主代词修饰名词。故填our。
【41题详解】
考查结果状语从句。句意：它是如此美味，我忍不住问她（怎么做的）。分子句子可知，此处是so…that（如此……以至于……）句型，所以应用that引导结果状语从句。故填that。
【42题详解】
考查名词复数。句意：她告诉我，她的妈妈和奶奶都是顶尖的厨师，她年轻时帮助他们的时候就从他们那里学到了这一点。因主语“her
mom
and
