Unit 4 Meeting the muse
一、阅读理解（本大题共15小题，共30.0分）
A
Since no one actually knows what the world will be like in 10 or 50 years, it can be fun to guess. Here are some jobs you or your kids might be able to apply for in the future!
Space tour guides
With space travel likely to be less expensive by the mid-2020s, a new travel industry will come. "Tours will show people the beauty of the sunrise from space, and some interesting places in space. Somebody needs to be in charge of these tours and explain to the space travelers what's going on," says David Tuffley.
Distant drone (无人驾驶飞机) drivers and pilots
How cool would it be to deliver packages from the comfortable office That's the way of the future with delivery drones and self-driving trucks. Zach Howard says, "Many delivery companies will soon need lots of drones and a large number of skilled pilots who can run the drones."
Gamification marketing experts
This future expert will need to make online shopping feel like a game; that is, gamification is about keeping customers more delighted during shopping. The gamification marketing expert will help keep online buyers'attention by making their experiences more playful and exciting.
Rewilders
To save Mother Nature, someone will need to remove the damage humans have done to the environment. Through the Jobs of 2030 project, an organization guesses we will need rewilders to remove the damage to the countryside caused by people, factories, cars and farming. These workers will be responsible for removing walls to give flight paths back to birds and replacing roads with forests.
1. What does Zach Howard say about distant drone drivers and pilots
A. They can make lots of money.
B. They will be in great demand.
C. They need update drones regularly.
D. They are required to work outdoors.
2. How will the gamification marketing expert most likely influence customers
A. By decreasing their daily cost of playing games.
B. By reducing the competition between stores.
C. By creating fun online shopping experiences.
D. By making them more likely to communicate.
3. Which of the following is a rewilder's job

B
After months of staring in disbelief at the news about the refugee crisis (难民危机) last year, a few friends and I decided to use our interests and skills to take action. We organized a cycle trip from London to Athens to raise money for a refugee community centre in Athens. It went really well. We had 43 cyclists to take part in the activity and we managed to raise 48,000, which is enough to pay for the rent and electricity for an entire year. This spring, we're planning on doing it all again with the aim of raising the same amount of money, to continue to provide them with their rent money so as to keep such an amazing project running on.
Every part of this project, the cycling and charity, is a positive response to the refugee crisis. The cycling is an amazing and challenging experience, and makes fund-raising a positive, energetic activity rather than an ordinary trip. And all over Greece, the cooperatives (合作企业), who are running the community centre, provide not only basic needs such as free nutritious food, warm clothing and dental care, but also social needs including education and childcare. Besides, they also provide a safe space to build relationships and relax, creating perhaps the first enjoyable and happy space that refugees have been provided with, and that refugees have been able to co-create on their journey.
Yes, the situation is still disheartening and it is still mostly unsolved, but that's not where we should leave things. In a world of sad news from the media, I feel it is really important to remind ourselves that there are positive responses from us, and that the skills we use to respond can be varied and creative. I wouldn't have paired cycling and the refugee crisis together before having had this idea! Whatever your interests and skills are, put them to good use, make them work for this crisis and create positive change!
4. What can we know about the author's cycle trip last year
A. It started from Athens. B. It lasted an entire year.
C. It was supported by a community. D. It lived up to expectations.
5. Which can best describe the cooperatives
A. Kind. B. Confident. C. Unconcerned. D. Strong.
6. What does the underlined word "disheartening" mean
A. Promising. B. Different. C. Astonishing. D. Depressing.
7. What does the author call on us to do
A. Develop our interests in our daily life.
B. Take part in the cycling activity.
C. Do something for the refugee crisis.
D. Make positive personal change.
C
Jiuzhaigou National Park in Southwest China's Sichuan province fully reopened to visitors yesterday after the completion of post-earthquake restoration and reconstruction.
The park's name, which means "Nine Village Valley", comes from the nine Tibetan villages there. The scenic area is best known for its blue and green lakes, splendid waterfalls, karst land forms and its unique wildlife. It was listed as a UNESCO world heritage site in 1992. The park is also home to 3, 634 species of plants and animals, including giant pandas and golden snub-nosed monkeys, winning the name of an "earthly paradise".
The national park covers an area of 720 square kilometers and ranges in altitude from 1, 996 to 4, 764 meters above sea level. On Aug. 8, 2017, a 7.0-magnitude earthquake struck Jiuzhaigou county, and the scenic area was closed due to damage. After continuous reconstruction and natural recovery, the park gradually reopened to visitors starting in March 2018.
Now, after four years of recovery, the tourist destination has regained its former charm. Tourism support facilities have also been improved to better provide service for tourists. Now the scenic spot has a maximum of 41, 000 visitors per day. Tourists have to book tickets online at least one day in advance.
Recently, Jiuzhaigou county has been trying to provide a more diversified tourism experience for visitors, such as the staging of musical and dance dramas about ethnic cultures, launch of modern commercial buildings and cultural creative spaces. The opening ceremony of the 7th China (Sichuan) International Tourism Investment Conference and Ceremony for the Full Reopening of Jiuzhaigou Valley was held on Tuesday, bringing in 263 key investment projects on culture and tourism for the province, amounting to 490.4billion yuan ($ 75.8 billion).

Claude Monet, Pablo Picasso and Leonardo da Vinci...the art world has never been short of talent. And now, a new painter is ready to join the list, although this one isn't even a human.
Next month, the auction house Christie's Prints and Multiples will make history by offering the first piece of artwork created by artificial intelligence (AI) for sale. The painting is a portrait of a man called Edmond de Belamy. The work, which features a man with a mysterious look on his face, was created by software developed by the French art group Obvious.
Nicolas Laugero Lasserre, an art collector, called the work "strange and amazing at the same time". This isn't the first example of AI-produced artwork, as AI has already been used to write poems and compose songs. However, many people doubt whether it should be called art. According to Russian writer Leo Tolstoy, art is about creating emotion. He once said that art is a means of joining people of the same feelings together.
So, if the emotion behind art is what makes it, the ability to create and use tools is what makes human beings different from other species. And as a tool itself, the AI technology used to create the portrait is the result of a lot of effort made by several designers. Together, they "fed" the AI a huge collection of paintings from the 14th to the 18th centuries, until it was able to work out how to make similar paintings of its own.
The introduction of AI art could be the beginning of a new artistic movement. However, not everyone is ready to welcome these high-tech artists just yet. "The human mind is what's behind the AI technology. And the human mind is not a cold, hard fact," said Oscar Schwartz, a researcher and writer. "Rather, it is something that's created with our opinions and something that changes over time."
12. What can we know about the AI-produced artwork
A. It is about to be sold.
B. It is created by a robot.
C. It is designed by a portrait painter.
D. It is the second artwork produced by AI.
13. Why is Leo Tolstoy mentioned
A. To present his opinion about art.
B. To stress the value of the artwork.
C. To show the definition of emotion.
D. To question the AI-produced artwork.
14. What can be inferred from Oscar Schwartz's words
A. AI art doesn't change over time.
B. AI art is similar to human artworks.
C. AI art comes from the human mind.
D. AI art is beyond humans imagination.
15. Where is the text most likely from
A. A guidebook. B. A textbook.
C. A science novel. D. A newspaper.
二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）
Power of Words The power of words is sometimes hard to understand. (1) If you have goals and dreams in life, write them down and speak them out.
As the ancient proverb says, "Your tongue has the power of life and death."That means that your words have the power to finally cause things to happen, even life or death. (2) For example, an encouraging word to someone who is down can lift him up and help him make it through the day. Words can have a powerful effect on your subconscious (潜意识的) brain. And it will in turn affect your life greatly.
Be very careful, because your words have destructive (破坏性的) power too. You have probably heard of children being scolded by their parents and developing a bad self-image. (3) They say it is important to praise children four times for each scolding.
(4) It's not your parents, your past relationships, your job, the economy, or your age that is to blame (责任). You and only you are responsible for every decision you make.
We may all experience the power of words in our life, even when we were very young. (5) Encouraging words from our teachers or parents when we fail in the exam can make us work harder at our lessons, while blame or scolding will make things worse.
A.Most kids have such experience.
B.But an encouraging word can go quite a long way.
C.Everything you do is based on the choices you make.
D.You should try to be encouraged and think positively.
E.Your words are likely to bring out something amazing.
F.The familiar words can help us build up a good relationship with others.
G.We all need positive words especially when we are in trouble or need help.

Gold and brown leaves crunched (嘎吱作响) under Mary's boots as she made her way down the sidewalk. She could not wait to be home. The chill (寒意) from the autumn winds was bad, but it was not nearly as hard to bear as the chill she felt in her heart.
She could not forget the way she had frozen in front of the class today. Mr. Roberts had divided the class into groups to do presentations. Each person in the group would speak for five minutes in front of the class. Today was Mary's turn. Her legs had trembled all the way to the front of the classroom. Her hands shook so badly that she could not read her notes. As Mary spoke, her voice had become softer, almost to silence. Mr. Roberts kindly ended Mary's part of the presentation even though she had clearly not finished. He had also asked Mary to stay after class for a moment.
"Mary, I know you're shy, but you worked hard on this project. I'd hate to see you give up on yourself," Mr. Roberts suggested, "If I give you another chance tomorrow, do you think you can find your courage "
Mary nodded. She went as quickly as she could to her next class. She kept her head down and hoped the school day would end soon.
Arriving home, she found Mom baking in the kitchen. When Mom baked, Mary always watched and chatted with her. Mom always said it was Mary's company that made her baked goods taste so sweet.
Mom studied Mary's face as she came into the kitchen. "What's wrong, Mary " She asked.
Tears shone in Mary's brown eyes. She told the whole story. Mom was silent for a moment, her hands still busy with the cake.
"Why is it that you can talk to me about anything and everything, but you can't talk to your class " Mom asked, sliding the round cake pans into the oven. She set the timer and then said, "Let me show you something."

一、阅读理解（本大题共15小题，共30.0分）
A
Since no one actually knows what the world will be like in 10 or 50 years, it can be fun to guess. Here are some jobs you or your kids might be able to apply for in the future!
Space tour guides
With space travel likely to be less expensive by the mid-2020s, a new travel industry will come. "Tours will show people the beauty of the sunrise from space, and some interesting places in space. Somebody needs to be in charge of these tours and explain to the space travelers what's going on," says David Tuffley.
Distant drone (无人驾驶飞机) drivers and pilots
How cool would it be to deliver packages from the comfortable office That's the way of the future with delivery drones and self-driving trucks. Zach Howard says, "Many delivery companies will soon need lots of drones and a large number of skilled pilots who can run the drones."
Gamification marketing experts
This future expert will need to make online shopping feel like a game; that is, gamification is about keeping customers more delighted during shopping. The gamification marketing expert will help keep online buyers'attention by making their experiences more playful and exciting.
Rewilders
To save Mother Nature, someone will need to remove the damage humans have done to the environment. Through the Jobs of 2030 project, an organization guesses we will need rewilders to remove the damage to the countryside caused by people, factories, cars and farming. These workers will be responsible for removing walls to give flight paths back to birds and replacing roads with forests.
1. What does Zach Howard say about distant drone drivers and pilots
A. They can make lots of money.
B. They will be in great demand.
C. They need update drones regularly.
D. They are required to work outdoors.
2. How will the gamification marketing expert most likely influence customers
A. By decreasing their daily cost of playing games.
B. By reducing the competition between stores.
C. By creating fun online shopping experiences.
D. By making them more likely to communicate.
3. Which of the following is a rewilder's job

B
After months of staring in disbelief at the news about the refugee crisis (难民危机) last year, a few friends and I decided to use our interests and skills to take action. We organized a cycle trip from London to Athens to raise money for a refugee community centre in Athens. It went really well. We had 43 cyclists to take part in the activity and we managed to raise 48,000, which is enough to pay for the rent and electricity for an entire year. This spring, we're planning on doing it all again with the aim of raising the same amount of money, to continue to provide them with their rent money so as to keep such an amazing project running on.
Every part of this project, the cycling and charity, is a positive response to the refugee crisis. The cycling is an amazing and challenging experience, and makes fund-raising a positive, energetic activity rather than an ordinary trip. And all over Greece, the cooperatives (合作企业), who are running the community centre, provide not only basic needs such as free nutritious food, warm clothing and dental care, but also social needs including education and childcare. Besides, they also provide a safe space to build relationships and relax, creating perhaps the first enjoyable and happy space that refugees have been provided with, and that refugees have been able to co-create on their journey.
Yes, the situation is still disheartening and it is still mostly unsolved, but that's not where we should leave things. In a world of sad news from the media, I feel it is really important to remind ourselves that there are positive responses from us, and that the skills we use to respond can be varied and creative. I wouldn't have paired cycling and the refugee crisis together before having had this idea! Whatever your interests and skills are, put them to good use, make them work for this crisis and create positive change!
4. What can we know about the author's cycle trip last year
A. It started from Athens. B. It lasted an entire year.
C. It was supported by a community. D. It lived up to expectations.
5. Which can best describe the cooperatives
A. Kind. B. Confident. C. Unconcerned. D. Strong.
6. What does the underlined word "disheartening" mean
A. Promising. B. Different. C. Astonishing. D. Depressing.
7. What does the author call on us to do
A. Develop our interests in our daily life.
B. Take part in the cycling activity.
C. Do something for the refugee crisis.
D. Make positive personal change.
C
Jiuzhaigou National Park in Southwest China's Sichuan province fully reopened to visitors yesterday after the completion of post-earthquake restoration and reconstruction.
The park's name, which means "Nine Village Valley", comes from the nine Tibetan villages there. The scenic area is best known for its blue and green lakes, splendid waterfalls, karst land forms and its unique wildlife. It was listed as a UNESCO world heritage site in 1992. The park is also home to 3, 634 species of plants and animals, including giant pandas and golden snub-nosed monkeys, winning the name of an "earthly paradise".
The national park covers an area of 720 square kilometers and ranges in altitude from 1, 996 to 4, 764 meters above sea level. On Aug. 8, 2017, a 7.0-magnitude earthquake struck Jiuzhaigou county, and the scenic area was closed due to damage. After continuous reconstruction and natural recovery, the park gradually reopened to visitors starting in March 2018.
Now, after four years of recovery, the tourist destination has regained its former charm. Tourism support facilities have also been improved to better provide service for tourists. Now the scenic spot has a maximum of 41, 000 visitors per day. Tourists have to book tickets online at least one day in advance.
Recently, Jiuzhaigou county has been trying to provide a more diversified tourism experience for visitors, such as the staging of musical and dance dramas about ethnic cultures, launch of modern commercial buildings and cultural creative spaces. The opening ceremony of the 7th China (Sichuan) International Tourism Investment Conference and Ceremony for the Full Reopening of Jiuzhaigou Valley was held on Tuesday, bringing in 263 key investment projects on culture and tourism for the province, amounting to 490.4billion yuan ($ 75.8 billion).

Claude Monet, Pablo Picasso and Leonardo da Vinci...the art world has never been short of talent. And now, a new painter is ready to join the list, although this one isn't even a human.
Next month, the auction house Christie's Prints and Multiples will make history by offering the first piece of artwork created by artificial intelligence (AI) for sale. The painting is a portrait of a man called Edmond de Belamy. The work, which features a man with a mysterious look on his face, was created by software developed by the French art group Obvious.
Nicolas Laugero Lasserre, an art collector, called the work "strange and amazing at the same time". This isn't the first example of AI-produced artwork, as AI has already been used to write poems and compose songs. However, many people doubt whether it should be called art. According to Russian writer Leo Tolstoy, art is about creating emotion. He once said that art is a means of joining people of the same feelings together.
So, if the emotion behind art is what makes it, the ability to create and use tools is what makes human beings different from other species. And as a tool itself, the AI technology used to create the portrait is the result of a lot of effort made by several designers. Together, they "fed" the AI a huge collection of paintings from the 14th to the 18th centuries, until it was able to work out how to make similar paintings of its own.
The introduction of AI art could be the beginning of a new artistic movement. However, not everyone is ready to welcome these high-tech artists just yet. "The human mind is what's behind the AI technology. And the human mind is not a cold, hard fact," said Oscar Schwartz, a researcher and writer. "Rather, it is something that's created with our opinions and something that changes over time."
12. What can we know about the AI-produced artwork
A. It is about to be sold.
B. It is created by a robot.
C. It is designed by a portrait painter.
D. It is the second artwork produced by AI.
13. Why is Leo Tolstoy mentioned
A. To present his opinion about art.
B. To stress the value of the artwork.
C. To show the definition of emotion.
D. To question the AI-produced artwork.
14. What can be inferred from Oscar Schwartz's words
A. AI art doesn't change over time.
B. AI art is similar to human artworks.
C. AI art comes from the human mind.
D. AI art is beyond humans imagination.
15. Where is the text most likely from
A. A guidebook. B. A textbook.
C. A science novel. D. A newspaper.

Power of Words The power of words is sometimes hard to understand. (1) If you have goals and dreams in life, write them down and speak them out.
As the ancient proverb says, "Your tongue has the power of life and death."That means that your words have the power to finally cause things to happen, even life or death. (2) For example, an encouraging word to someone who is down can lift him up and help him make it through the day. Words can have a powerful effect on your subconscious (潜意识的) brain. And it will in turn affect your life greatly.
Be very careful, because your words have destructive (破坏性的) power too. You have probably heard of children being scolded by their parents and developing a bad self-image. (3) They say it is important to praise children four times for each scolding.
(4) It's not your parents, your past relationships, your job, the economy, or your age that is to blame (责任). You and only you are responsible for every decision you make.
We may all experience the power of words in our life, even when we were very young. (5) Encouraging words from our teachers or parents when we fail in the exam can make us work harder at our lessons, while blame or scolding will make things worse.
A.Most kids have such experience.
B.But an encouraging word can go quite a long way.
C.Everything you do is based on the choices you make.
D.You should try to be encouraged and think positively.
E.Your words are likely to bring out something amazing.

Gold and brown leaves crunched (嘎吱作响) under Mary's boots as she made her way down the sidewalk. She could not wait to be home. The chill (寒意) from the autumn winds was bad, but it was not nearly as hard to bear as the chill she felt in her heart.
She could not forget the way she had frozen in front of the class today. Mr. Roberts had divided the class into groups to do presentations. Each person in the group would speak for five minutes in front of the class. Today was Mary's turn. Her legs had trembled all the way to the front of the classroom. Her hands shook so badly that she could not read her notes. As Mary spoke, her voice had become softer, almost to silence. Mr. Roberts kindly ended Mary's part of the presentation even though she had clearly not finished. He had also asked Mary to stay after class for a moment.
"Mary, I know you're shy, but you worked hard on this project. I'd hate to see you give up on yourself," Mr. Roberts suggested, "If I give you another chance tomorrow, do you think you can find your courage "
Mary nodded. She went as quickly as she could to her next class. She kept her head down and hoped the school day would end soon.
Arriving home, she found Mom baking in the kitchen. When Mom baked, Mary always watched and chatted with her. Mom always said it was Mary's company that made her baked goods taste so sweet.
Mom studied Mary's face as she came into the kitchen. "What's wrong, Mary " She asked.
Tears shone in Mary's brown eyes. She told the whole story. Mom was silent for a moment, her hands still busy with the cake.
"Why is it that you can talk to me about anything and everything, but you can't talk to your class " Mom asked, sliding the round cake pans into the oven. She set the timer and then said, "Let me show you something."

根据上文The power of words is sometimes hard to understand.（语言的力量有时很难理解。）和下文If you have goals and dreams in life, write them down and speak them out.（如果你在生活中有目标和梦想，把它们写下来，然后说出来。）可知，上文提到语言理解很难，下文提到要在生活中把目标和梦想写下来并说出来，这是一个漫长的过程，故空格处与前文是转折关系。B项（但一句鼓励的话可以让你走很长一段路。）符合语境。故选B。

5. 根据下文 Encouraging words from our teachers or parents when we fail in the exam can make us work harder at our lessons, while blame or scolding will make things worse.（当我们考试不及格时，老师或父母的鼓励话语可以使我们在功课上更加努力，而责备或责骂会使事情变得更糟。）可知，当我们挂科时老师和父激励的话能计我们更加勤奋。换言之。在我们身处危难之中时，他人激励的话有积极作用。G项（我们都需要积极的话语，尤其是当我们遇到麻烦或需要帮助的时候。）符合语境。故选G。
