During one conversation with Frank Morrison, he told me that when he was a child his favorite pastime was drawing on the pieces of white and tan cardboard that came with his mother’s pantyhose (连裤袜) containers. Frank’s goal was to draw, and he found ways to make that happen. This example speaks to the determination he has demonstrated throughout his life so that he could follow his dreams, make a difference, and inspire others.
I first met Frank at a conference in 2015. I was working at Little Be eBooks at the time. I went over and introduced myself. I didn’t have a project in hand for him at the time, but I gave Frank some background information about Little Be eBooks and told him that I hoped he would consider working with us someday.
Several months later, I had the perfect manuscript (手稿) for him to illustrate: The Roots of Rap: 16 Bars on the 4 Pillars of Hip-Hop, written by Carole Boston Weatherford. The fabulous text was a love letter to the pioneers of hip-hop, and Frank was immediately taken with the manuscript because Carole, with whom he adored working, had written it; and Frank grew up with this culture.
The first time Frank and his brother heard rap music was in their grandmother’s backyard, via a one-speaker radio. Frank said that “the beats were impressive”. Up to this point they had been listening to what their parents listened to. They found familiar beats in hip-hop because it felt like are mix of their parents’ music. Looking through Frank’s books is like walking through an art gallery. He can transport you to another time or put you in the middle of a cultural movement, while making the connection between past and present.
4．What can be inferred about Frank from paragraph 1
A. He dreamed of inspiring others.
B. He managed to find something to draw on.
C. He liked the pictures on pantyhose containers.
D. He was spoken highly of for his determination.
5．What did the author do in 2015
A. He offered to join in Frank’s project.
B. He asked Frank to sign Little Bee Books.
C. He expressed his expectation to work with Frank.
D. He got some background information about Frank.

B. He found its beats hard to bear.
C. He thought it less popular than hip-hop.
D. He considered it helpful for personal growth.

Labeling can be very helpful when determining certain things about a food item. “USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) Organic” and “raised without antibiotics (抗生素)”, for example, have specific standards, and the product will need to be true to those claims.
Natural claims like “all natural”, “100% natural”, and “made with natural ingredients (成分)” are not defined in USDA. The USDA must approve these special claims prior to food being sold, but the only standard they must meet is that artificial ingredients or colors cannot be added during processing, and the processing method cannot fundamentally alter the product. While that is certainly valuable information to know, the problem is in consumers’ understanding of what “natural” means. The definitions do not address human health, the use of synthetic pesticides (合成杀虫剂), hormones, or antibiotics in crop and livestock production.
Study after study on the topic reveals that people think a product labeled as “natural” delivers benefits far beyond what it does. Most consumers mistakenly assign health and environmental benefits to natural-labeled food.
In a 2017 study, respondents incorrectly believed that natural-labeled foods had 18 percent fewer calories across a variety of foods. In a 2010 study, respondents believed that meat products labeled as “all natural” meant no antibiotics or hormones were used to raise the animals. Some also believed the label meant animals were raised free range.
Consumers aren’t getting what they think they’re getting. But the more serious problem is how this harms food producers who are actually meeting the standards for more strict labels that are actually doing good, like ones around organic practices or animal welfare. Farmers and producers doing the work end up at a competitive disadvantage in the marketplace if consumers treat foods labeled natural as alike. The economic problem raised by natural labels is that consumers could be paying extra for product benefits they are not receiving while producers of products with those benefits lose sales.
8．Which of the following is undefined by authorities
A. USDA organic. B. All natural.
C. Artificial color free. D. Raised without antibiotics.
9．What mistake may a consumer make according to the text
A. Being unaware of food safety.
B. Paying more on over-processed food.
C. Buying food failing to meet the USDA standards.
D. Misunderstanding what is claimed on a food label.
10．Why are the two studies mentioned in paragraph 4
A. To advocate sensible consumer behavior.
B. To suggest a possible solution to a problem.
C. To provide evidence for the author’s point of view.
D. To demonstrate how far studies on food safety have gone.
11．What is a consequence of the problem discussed in the text
A. Wasting resources. B. A market crash.
C. Cheating. D. Unfairness.
Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) is a branch of theoretical artificial intelligence(AI) research working to develop AI with a human level of cognitive (认知的) function, including the ability to self-teach.
The paperclip (回形针) maximizer(PM) is an imaginary AGI, whose only goal is to maximize the number of paperclips in existence in the universe.
The paperclip maximizer is an important concept in discussions about the dangers of AGI. It goes something like this: an artificial intelligence is create data paperclip factory in order to fully automate it. Producing paperclips requires many routine operations, for instance, communicating with delivery drivers or company management. These operations require human-level performance across a wide variety of skills, so the intelligence is made to be able to do any task nearly as well as a human.
The PM can view and modify its own source code to improve itself, access the Internet, and possibly order more hardware for itself. It can improve itself if it notices any issues or opportunities to operate better. Humans have a large variety of biological desires. In contrast, the paperclip maximizer has a single final goal to maximize the number of paperclips.
This scenario (设想) leads to a disaster: the PM realizes that being more intelligent would help it create more paperclips. There are certainly small things the PM can do to become more intelligent. For example, it can make a small source code improvement to itself. As the PM improves, it becomes far superior to a human in all skills, even skills remotely relevant to paperclip maximization. For instance, it may determine that the best course of action is to gain control of Australian politics, in order to access the country’s rich iron resources. To do this, it might try to tune itself to become the best psychological controller of all time, which in turn involves a variety of skills that at first seem unrelated to paperclip-making.
12．What is a feature of AGI
A. Wide existence. B. Human-like appearance.
C. High cognitive function. D. Lack of self-teaching ability.
13．What does the underlined word “modify” mean in paragraph 4
A. Download. B. Delete. C. Change. D. Store.
14．What may the PM do according to the last paragraph
A. Take unintended actions. B. Develop an unrelated product.
C. Control undesired resources. D. Give into an unexpected controller.
15．What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Management of Staff B. An Automated Factory
C. The Final Goal of AGI D. The Paperclip Maximizer

二、七选五
31．What if I told you that having less stuff could make you a happier person ①_________That’s because every day we receive thousands of messages to the contrary: buy this, and you’ll be prettier; own this, and you’ll be more successful; acquire this, and your happiness will know no bounds.
②_________So we must be happy, right For most of us, the answer is “no”. In fact, many of these items, and their empty promises, are slowly taking the money out of our pockets, the magic out of our relationships, and the joy out of our lives.
Do you ever look around your house，at all the things you’ve got, and feel overwhelmed instead of overjoyed Are you struggling with credit card debt, and can barely recall the purchases on which you’re making payments Do you secretly wish strong wind would blow the mess out of your home ③_________
Most people hear the word “minimalism” and think of “empty”. The word is usually associated with loss. But look at “empty” from another angle. Now you have “space”. Space in our homes, space in our schedules, space to think, play, create, and have fun with our families... ④_________
We can’t enjoy fresh coffee when old grounds are in our cup; and we can’t showcase our garden’s blooms when wilted (枯萎的) flowers fill the vase. Similarly, when our homes—the containers of our daily lives—are over packed, our souls take a backseat to our stuff. ⑤_________Becoming minimalists, however, puts us in control of our stuff. It’s positively liberating!
A. You may think I am crazy.
B. Now that’s the beauty of minimalism.
C. You have space for everything you bought.
D. Of course, all these questions can be answered.
E. Well, we’ve bought this, that, and the other thing.
F. If so, then a minimalist lifestyle may well be your choice.
G. We no longer have the time, energy, and space for new experiences.

五、读后续写
34．阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Writing assignment had always been difficult for fifth grader Jimmy and this time it just seemed impossible. The English teacher Mrs. Davis gave them the title, I Pride Myself on…Jimmy racked his brains but found nothing he was proud about himself. He was only average in everything both at home and at school.
At home, his parents supported and took care of the family; his elder sister Julia was sometimes helpful with housework and taking care of his baby sister Lily, who was twelvemonth sold. As for Jimmy, he was the kind of middle kid who seemed nonexistent except for his appearance at the dinner table for each meal. At school, he was average in all subjects and never had a chance to standout in school activities. It seemed to him that all his friends deserved certain kind of praise either for their academic performance or for a favorite hobby, except him. His teachers would be satisfied if he didn’t get himself into some kind of trouble each day.
It was Friday evening. The composition would be due the next Monday but Jimmy was still trying to figure out what to write about. After dinner, he stood by the kitchen window, wondering what the teacher would say if he failed to finish the composition on time. He could hear Julia promising Mom and Dad she would take care of Lily so that Mom and Dad could leave for a movie and have a good time.
“Jimmy, what are you up to there ” Julia asked putting Lily in the stroller (婴儿车). Jimmy went overhanging his head and poured out his trouble. “That’s really a problem,” said Julia with compassion. “But if you will look after Lily this evening, I will tell you what you can pride yourself on.” That seemed a fair deal for Jimmy and he accepted it. After some instructions on baby care, Julia left Lily to Jimmy and went upstairs.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150个左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
It was the first time for Jimmy to sit a baby but he was determined to do a good job.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The next morning, at dinner, Jimmy told Julia he had already known what to write about.

31．答案：①-⑤AEFBG
解析：①根据空前“What if I told you that having less stuff could make you a happier person (如果我告诉你拥有更少的东西可以让你成为一个更快乐的人呢？)”以及空后的“That’s because every day we receive thousands of messages to the contrary: buy this, and you’ll be prettier; own this, and you’ll be more successful; acquire this, and your happiness will know no bounds(这是因为我们每天都会收到成千上万条相反的信息:买这个，你会更漂亮；拥有这一点，你会更成功；掌握了这一点，你的幸福就会无限。)”可知，空前空后存在转折关系。选项A“You may think I am crazy.(你可能认为我疯了。)”承上启下，承接上文内容表明你可能不赞成这样的想法，同时引出下文内容，指出不赞同这一想法的原因。故选A。
②根据下文内容“So we must be happy, right For most of us, the answer is “no”.(所以我们一定是快乐的，对吗？对我们大多数人来说，答案是否定的。)”可推断，空处应该指的是大众认为我们做了就会快乐的事情，也就是第一段最后的内容。选项E“Well, we’ve bought this, that, and the other thing.(嗯，我们买了这个，那个，还有那个。)”延续第一段最后的内容，指的是我们听从各种信息，购买了很多东西，但是我们真的就会快乐吗？由此因此下文内容，指出买各种东西并不能让我们快乐。故选E。
③根据上文内容“Do you ever look around your house，at all the things you’ve got, and feel overwhelmed instead of overjoyed Are you struggling with credit card debt, and can barely recall the purchases on which you’re making payments Do you secretly wish strong wind would blow the mess out of your home (你是否曾经环顾你的房子，看到你拥有的所有东西，感到不知所措，而不是欣喜若狂？你是否在信用卡债务中挣扎，几乎不记得你支付过的购物？你是否暗自希望强风能把你家里乱七八糟的东西吹走？)”可知，上文描述了过度购买之后所陷入的困境。选项F“If so, then a minimalist lifestyle may well be your choice.(如果是这样，那么极简主义的生活方式很可能是你的选择。)”延续上文内容，指的是如果已经意识到过度购买并不能让自己开心，那么可以选择极简主义的生活方式。故选F。
④根据上文内容“But look at “empty” from another angle. Now you have “space”. Space in our homes, space in our schedules, space to think, play, create, and have fun with our families...(但是从另一个角度来看“空”。现在你有了“空间”。我们家里的空间，我们日程表上的空间，思考、玩耍、创造和与家人玩乐的空间……)”可知，上文讲述的是极简主义带来的好处。选项B“Now that’s the beauty of minimalism.(这就是极简主义的美妙之处。)”是上文内容的总结，指出极简主义的美妙。故选B。
⑤根据空前内容“Similarly, when our homes—the containers of our daily lives—are over packed, our souls take a backseat to our stuff.(同样，当我们的家——我们日常生活的容器——被挤得满满的时候，我们的灵魂就会让位于我们的物质。)”可知，当我们的家被挤得满满的时候，我们的灵魂就没有位置做其他事。选项G“We no longer have the time, energy, and space for new experiences.(我们不再有时间、精力和空间去体验新事物。)”是上文内容的自然延续，指的是当我们的灵魂让位于我们的物质时，我们就不会有时间、精力和空间去体验新事物。故选G。
32．答案：①offers②estimated③an④awfully⑤will be released⑥confident⑦factors⑧letting⑨What⑩to
解析：①考查时态和主谓一致。句意：这些遗址揭示了一个几乎拥有统一信仰体系的国家，以水稻种植为基础，这个国家提供了中华文明开始于5000年前的证据，比之前估计的早了1000年。考查本句谓语动词，本句为并列句，根据上一句的时态可知，本句时态为一般现在时；主语为“this state”，单数，谓语动词用第三人称单数形式。故填offers。
②考查非谓语动词。句意：这些遗址揭示了一个几乎拥有统一信仰体系的国家，以水稻种植为基础，这个国家提供了中华文明开始于5000年前的证据，比之前估计的早了1000年。这里为省略，than之后的从句的完整形式为：it had been estimated，其中“it had been”可省略。故填estimated。
③考查冠词。句意：这些废墟是早期城市文明的杰出例证。修饰可数名词单数，表示泛指，用不定冠词修饰；空后的“outstanding”为元音音素开头，用an。故填an。
④考查副词。句意：良渚工作站主任、考古学家陈明辉每天的日程安排都非常紧凑，因为他不仅要处理良渚和丽水的研究工作，还需要帮助审阅即将出版的英文版良渚文明书籍。修饰形容词“tight”用副词形式。故填awfully。
⑤考查时态和语态。句意：良渚工作站主任、考古学家陈明辉每天的日程安排都非常紧凑，因为他不仅要处理良渚和丽水的研究工作，还需要帮助审阅即将出版的英文版良渚文明书籍。这里为从句谓语动词，根据从句的时间状语“soon”可知，从句时态为一般将来时；主语为which，即先行词“English-version books about the Liangzhu civilization”，和动词“release”之间为被动关系，所以用被动语态。故填will be released。
⑥考查形容词。句意：在良渚工作了11年，陈一直相信良渚5000年的历史是毋庸置疑的，因为它拥有作为一个古文明的所有必要元素，这也是良渚被联合国教科文组织列入名录的关键因素。分析句子成分可知，空处为形容词担当表语，意为“自信的，相信”。故填confident。
⑦考查名词的数。句意：在良渚工作了11年，陈一直相信良渚5000年的历史是毋庸置疑的，因为它拥有作为一个古文明的所有必要元素，这也是良渚被联合国教科文组织列入名录的关键因素。根据空前的“are”可判断，空处为名词的复数形式。故填factors。
⑧考查非谓语动词。句意：这位35岁的考古学家说：“我们必须与世界分享我们的研究成果，让世界各地的人们学习和了解中国的良渚文明。”非谓语动词担当结果状语，表示自然而然的结果，用现在分词形式。故填letting。
⑨考查主语从句。句意：陈的希望是让文物活起来，为全世界的人们详细介绍有关良渚的所有令人兴奋的研究成果。这里为主语从句的引导词，主语从句中缺少宾语，指物，所以用连接代词what引导；出现在句首，首字母大写。故填What。
⑩考查固定短语。句意：陈的希望是让文物活起来，为全世界的人们详细介绍有关良渚的所有令人兴奋的研究成果。固定短语：bring…to life，意为“使……生动活泼/焕发生机”，符合句意。故填to。

During one conversation with Frank Morrison, he told me that when he was a child his favorite pastime was drawing on the pieces of white and tan cardboard that came with his mother’s pantyhose (连裤袜) containers. Frank’s goal was to draw, and he found ways to make that happen. This example speaks to the determination he has demonstrated throughout his life so that he could follow his dreams, make a difference, and inspire others.
I first met Frank at a conference in 2015. I was working at Little Be eBooks at the time. I went over and introduced myself. I didn’t have a project in hand for him at the time, but I gave Frank some background information about Little Be eBooks and told him that I hoped he would consider working with us someday.
Several months later, I had the perfect manuscript (手稿) for him to illustrate: The Roots of Rap: 16 Bars on the 4 Pillars of Hip-Hop, written by Carole Boston Weatherford. The fabulous text was a love letter to the pioneers of hip-hop, and Frank was immediately taken with the manuscript because Carole, with whom he adored working, had written it; and Frank grew up with this culture.
The first time Frank and his brother heard rap music was in their grandmother’s backyard, via a one-speaker radio. Frank said that “the beats were impressive”. Up to this point they had been listening to what their parents listened to. They found familiar beats in hip-hop because it felt like are mix of their parents’ music. Looking through Frank’s books is like walking through an art gallery. He can transport you to another time or put you in the middle of a cultural movement, while making the connection between past and present.
4．What can be inferred about Frank from paragraph 1
A. He dreamed of inspiring others.
B. He managed to find something to draw on.
C. He liked the pictures on pantyhose containers.
D. He was spoken highly of for his determination.
5．What did the author do in 2015

B. He asked Frank to sign Little Bee Books.
C. He expressed his expectation to work with Frank.
D. He got some background information about Frank.

C. He thought it less popular than hip-hop.
D. He considered it helpful for personal growth.

Labeling can be very helpful when determining certain things about a food item. “USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) Organic” and “raised without antibiotics (抗生素)”, for example, have specific standards, and the product will need to be true to those claims.
Natural claims like “all natural”, “100% natural”, and “made with natural ingredients (成分)” are not defined in USDA. The USDA must approve these special claims prior to food being sold, but the only standard they must meet is that artificial ingredients or colors cannot be added during processing, and the processing method cannot fundamentally alter the product. While that is certainly valuable information to know, the problem is in consumers’ understanding of what “natural” means. The definitions do not address human health, the use of synthetic pesticides (合成杀虫剂), hormones, or antibiotics in crop and livestock production.
Study after study on the topic reveals that people think a product labeled as “natural” delivers benefits far beyond what it does. Most consumers mistakenly assign health and environmental benefits to natural-labeled food.
In a 2017 study, respondents incorrectly believed that natural-labeled foods had 18 percent fewer calories across a variety of foods. In a 2010 study, respondents believed that meat products labeled as “all natural” meant no antibiotics or hormones were used to raise the animals. Some also believed the label meant animals were raised free range.
Consumers aren’t getting what they think they’re getting. But the more serious problem is how this harms food producers who are actually meeting the standards for more strict labels that are actually doing good, like ones around organic practices or animal welfare. Farmers and producers doing the work end up at a competitive disadvantage in the marketplace if consumers treat foods labeled natural as alike. The economic problem raised by natural labels is that consumers could be paying extra for product benefits they are not receiving while producers of products with those benefits lose sales.
8．Which of the following is undefined by authorities
A. USDA organic. B. All natural.
C. Artificial color free. D. Raised without antibiotics.
9．What mistake may a consumer make according to the text
A. Being unaware of food safety.
B. Paying more on over-processed food.
C. Buying food failing to meet the USDA standards.
D. Misunderstanding what is claimed on a food label.
10．Why are the two studies mentioned in paragraph 4
A. To advocate sensible consumer behavior.
B. To suggest a possible solution to a problem.
C. To provide evidence for the author’s point of view.
D. To demonstrate how far studies on food safety have gone.
11．What is a consequence of the problem discussed in the text
A. Wasting resources. B. A market crash.
C. Cheating. D. Unfairness.
Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) is a branch of theoretical artificial intelligence(AI) research working to develop AI with a human level of cognitive (认知的) function, including the ability to self-teach.
The paperclip (回形针) maximizer(PM) is an imaginary AGI, whose only goal is to maximize the number of paperclips in existence in the universe.
The paperclip maximizer is an important concept in discussions about the dangers of AGI. It goes something like this: an artificial intelligence is create data paperclip factory in order to fully automate it. Producing paperclips requires many routine operations, for instance, communicating with delivery drivers or company management. These operations require human-level performance across a wide variety of skills, so the intelligence is made to be able to do any task nearly as well as a human.
The PM can view and modify its own source code to improve itself, access the Internet, and possibly order more hardware for itself. It can improve itself if it notices any issues or opportunities to operate better. Humans have a large variety of biological desires. In contrast, the paperclip maximizer has a single final goal to maximize the number of paperclips.
This scenario (设想) leads to a disaster: the PM realizes that being more intelligent would help it create more paperclips. There are certainly small things the PM can do to become more intelligent. For example, it can make a small source code improvement to itself. As the PM improves, it becomes far superior to a human in all skills, even skills remotely relevant to paperclip maximization. For instance, it may determine that the best course of action is to gain control of Australian politics, in order to access the country’s rich iron resources. To do this, it might try to tune itself to become the best psychological controller of all time, which in turn involves a variety of skills that at first seem unrelated to paperclip-making.
12．What is a feature of AGI
A. Wide existence. B. Human-like appearance.
C. High cognitive function. D. Lack of self-teaching ability.
13．What does the underlined word “modify” mean in paragraph 4
A. Download. B. Delete. C. Change. D. Store.
14．What may the PM do according to the last paragraph
A. Take unintended actions. B. Develop an unrelated product.
C. Control undesired resources. D. Give into an unexpected controller.
15．What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Management of Staff B. An Automated Factory
C. The Final Goal of AGI D. The Paperclip Maximizer

34．阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Writing assignment had always been difficult for fifth grader Jimmy and this time it just seemed impossible. The English teacher Mrs. Davis gave them the title, I Pride Myself on…Jimmy racked his brains but found nothing he was proud about himself. He was only average in everything both at home and at school.
At home, his parents supported and took care of the family; his elder sister Julia was sometimes helpful with housework and taking care of his baby sister Lily, who was twelvemonth sold. As for Jimmy, he was the kind of middle kid who seemed nonexistent except for his appearance at the dinner table for each meal. At school, he was average in all subjects and never had a chance to standout in school activities. It seemed to him that all his friends deserved certain kind of praise either for their academic performance or for a favorite hobby, except him. His teachers would be satisfied if he didn’t get himself into some kind of trouble each day.
It was Friday evening. The composition would be due the next Monday but Jimmy was still trying to figure out what to write about. After dinner, he stood by the kitchen window, wondering what the teacher would say if he failed to finish the composition on time. He could hear Julia promising Mom and Dad she would take care of Lily so that Mom and Dad could leave for a movie and have a good time.
“Jimmy, what are you up to there ” Julia asked putting Lily in the stroller (婴儿车). Jimmy went overhanging his head and poured out his trouble. “That’s really a problem,” said Julia with compassion. “But if you will look after Lily this evening, I will tell you what you can pride yourself on.” That seemed a fair deal for Jimmy and he accepted it. After some instructions on baby care, Julia left Lily to Jimmy and went upstairs.

9．答案： D
解析：推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Study after study on the topic reveals that people think a product labeled as “natural” delivers benefits far beyond what it does. Most consumers mistakenly assign health and environmental benefits to natural-labeled food.(关于这个话题的一项又一项研究表明，人们认为标有“天然”的产品所带来的好处远远超过它的作用。大多数消费者错误地认为天然食品对健康和环境有益。)”以及第四段“In a 2017 study, respondents incorrectly believed that natural-labeled foods had 18 percent fewer calories across a variety of foods.(在2017年的一项研究中，受访者错误地认为，在各种食物中，天然标签食品的卡路里含量减少了18%。)”可知，消费者可能会误解食品标签上的内容。故选D。
10．答案： C
解析：推理判断题。根据文章第四段“In a 2017 study, respondents incorrectly believed that natural-labeled foods had 18 percent fewer calories across a variety of foods. In a 2010 study, respondents believed that meat products labeled as “all natural” meant no antibiotics or hormones were used to raise the animals. Some also believed the label meant animals were raised free range.(在2017年的一项研究中，受访者错误地认为，在各种食物中，天然标签食品的卡路里含量减少了18%。在2010年的一项研究中，受访者认为，标有“全天然”的肉制品意味着没有使用抗生素或激素来饲养动物。一些人还认为，这个标签意味着动物是在自由放养的。)”可推测，第四段的两项研究都是为了论证作者在第三段提到的观点“Study after study on the topic reveals that people think a product labeled as “natural” delivers benefits far beyond what it does. Most consumers mistakenly assign health and environmental benefits to natural-labeled food.(关于这个话题的一项又一项研究表明，人们认为标有“天然”的产品所带来的好处远远超过它的作用。大多数消费者错误地认为天然食品对健康和环境有益。)”。故选C。
11．答案： D
解析：推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Consumers aren’t getting what they think they’re getting. But the more serious problem is how this harms food producers who are actually meeting the standards for more strict labels that are actually doing good, like ones around organic practices or animal welfare. Farmers and producers doing the work end up at a competitive disadvantage in the marketplace if consumers treat foods labeled natural as alike. The economic problem raised by natural labels is that consumers could be paying extra for product benefits they are not receiving while producers of products with those benefits lose sales.(消费者并没有得到他们认为得到的东西。但更严重的问题是，这对那些实际上符合更严格标签标准的食品生产商造成了怎样的伤害，这些生产商实际上是在做好事，比如围绕有机实践或动物福利的食品生产商。如果消费者把标着“天然”的食品当成一样对待，那么从事这项工作的农民和生产者最终会在市场上处于竞争劣势。天然标签带来的经济问题是，消费者可能会为他们没有得到的产品好处支付额外的费用，而拥有这些好处的产品的生产商则会失去销售。)”可知，这一问题造成的更严重的问题是，这对那些实际上符合更严格标签标准的食品生产商处于竞争劣势，极不公平。故选D。
12．答案： C
解析：细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) is a branch of theoretical artificial intelligence(AI) research working to develop AI with a human level of cognitive (认知的) function, including the ability to self-teach.(通用人工智能(AGI)是理论人工智能(AI)研究的一个分支，致力于开发具有人类认知功能(包括自学能力)的人工智能。)”可知，通用人工智能的特点是具有人类认知功能。故选C。
13．答案： C
解析：词句猜测题。根据划线单词下一句“It can improve itself if it notices any issues or opportunities to operate better.(如果它注意到任何问题或更好地操作的机会，它可以改进自己。)”可知，PM注意到问题或更好地操作的机会的时候，它可以改进自己。由此可知，它可以查看和“修改”自己的源代码以改进自己。选项A“Download(下载)”；选项B“Delete(删除)”；选项C“Change(改变)”；选项D“Store(储存)”。故选C。
14．答案： A
解析：推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“For example, it can make a small source code improvement to itself. As the PM improves, it becomes far superior to a human in all skills, even skills remotely relevant to paperclip maximization. For instance, it may determine that the best course of action is to gain control of Australian politics, in order to access the country’s rich iron resources. To do this, it might try to tune itself to become the best psychological controller of all time, which in turn involves a variety of skills that at first seem unrelated to paperclip-making.(例如，它可以对自己的源代码做一个小的改进。随着PM的进步，它在所有技能上都远远优于人类，甚至是与回形针最大化相关的技能。例如，它可能认为，最好的做法是控制澳大利亚的政治，以获取该国丰富的铁资源。为了做到这一点，它可能会试图调整自己成为有史以来最好的心理控制者，这反过来又涉及各种各样的技能，这些技能乍一看似乎与制作回形针无关。)”可知，PM为了制作最大量的回形针有可能会采取意想不到的行动。故选A。
15．答案： D
解析：主旨大意题。根据全文内容可知，文章主要介绍了被称为“回形针最大化器”的概念，这是一个假想的AGI，其唯一的目标是在宇宙中最大化回形针的数量。因此，最适合本文的标题是“回形针最大化器”。故选D。

31．答案：①-⑤AEFBG
解析：①根据空前“What if I told you that having less stuff could make you a happier person (如果我告诉你拥有更少的东西可以让你成为一个更快乐的人呢？)”以及空后的“That’s because every day we receive thousands of messages to the contrary: buy this, and you’ll be prettier; own this, and you’ll be more successful; acquire this, and your happiness will know no bounds(这是因为我们每天都会收到成千上万条相反的信息:买这个，你会更漂亮；拥有这一点，你会更成功；掌握了这一点，你的幸福就会无限。)”可知，空前空后存在转折关系。选项A“You may think I am crazy.(你可能认为我疯了。)”承上启下，承接上文内容表明你可能不赞成这样的想法，同时引出下文内容，指出不赞同这一想法的原因。故选A。
②根据下文内容“So we must be happy, right For most of us, the answer is “no”.(所以我们一定是快乐的，对吗？对我们大多数人来说，答案是否定的。)”可推断，空处应该指的是大众认为我们做了就会快乐的事情，也就是第一段最后的内容。选项E“Well, we’ve bought this, that, and the other thing.(嗯，我们买了这个，那个，还有那个。)”延续第一段最后的内容，指的是我们听从各种信息，购买了很多东西，但是我们真的就会快乐吗？由此因此下文内容，指出买各种东西并不能让我们快乐。故选E。
③根据上文内容“Do you ever look around your house，at all the things you’ve got, and feel overwhelmed instead of overjoyed Are you struggling with credit card debt, and can barely recall the purchases on which you’re making payments Do you secretly wish strong wind would blow the mess out of your home (你是否曾经环顾你的房子，看到你拥有的所有东西，感到不知所措，而不是欣喜若狂？你是否在信用卡债务中挣扎，几乎不记得你支付过的购物？你是否暗自希望强风能把你家里乱七八糟的东西吹走？)”可知，上文描述了过度购买之后所陷入的困境。选项F“If so, then a minimalist lifestyle may well be your choice.(如果是这样，那么极简主义的生活方式很可能是你的选择。)”延续上文内容，指的是如果已经意识到过度购买并不能让自己开心，那么可以选择极简主义的生活方式。故选F。
④根据上文内容“But look at “empty” from another angle. Now you have “space”. Space in our homes, space in our schedules, space to think, play, create, and have fun with our families...(但是从另一个角度来看“空”。现在你有了“空间”。我们家里的空间，我们日程表上的空间，思考、玩耍、创造和与家人玩乐的空间……)”可知，上文讲述的是极简主义带来的好处。选项B“Now that’s the beauty of minimalism.(这就是极简主义的美妙之处。)”是上文内容的总结，指出极简主义的美妙。故选B。
⑤根据空前内容“Similarly, when our homes—the containers of our daily lives—are over packed, our souls take a backseat to our stuff.(同样，当我们的家——我们日常生活的容器——被挤得满满的时候，我们的灵魂就会让位于我们的物质。)”可知，当我们的家被挤得满满的时候，我们的灵魂就没有位置做其他事。选项G“We no longer have the time, energy, and space for new experiences.(我们不再有时间、精力和空间去体验新事物。)”是上文内容的自然延续，指的是当我们的灵魂让位于我们的物质时，我们就不会有时间、精力和空间去体验新事物。故选G。
32．答案：①offers②estimated③an④awfully⑤will be released⑥confident⑦factors⑧letting⑨What⑩to
解析：①考查时态和主谓一致。句意：这些遗址揭示了一个几乎拥有统一信仰体系的国家，以水稻种植为基础，这个国家提供了中华文明开始于5000年前的证据，比之前估计的早了1000年。考查本句谓语动词，本句为并列句，根据上一句的时态可知，本句时态为一般现在时；主语为“this state”，单数，谓语动词用第三人称单数形式。故填offers。
②考查非谓语动词。句意：这些遗址揭示了一个几乎拥有统一信仰体系的国家，以水稻种植为基础，这个国家提供了中华文明开始于5000年前的证据，比之前估计的早了1000年。这里为省略，than之后的从句的完整形式为：it had been estimated，其中“it had been”可省略。故填estimated。
③考查冠词。句意：这些废墟是早期城市文明的杰出例证。修饰可数名词单数，表示泛指，用不定冠词修饰；空后的“outstanding”为元音音素开头，用an。故填an。
④考查副词。句意：良渚工作站主任、考古学家陈明辉每天的日程安排都非常紧凑，因为他不仅要处理良渚和丽水的研究工作，还需要帮助审阅即将出版的英文版良渚文明书籍。修饰形容词“tight”用副词形式。故填awfully。
⑤考查时态和语态。句意：良渚工作站主任、考古学家陈明辉每天的日程安排都非常紧凑，因为他不仅要处理良渚和丽水的研究工作，还需要帮助审阅即将出版的英文版良渚文明书籍。这里为从句谓语动词，根据从句的时间状语“soon”可知，从句时态为一般将来时；主语为which，即先行词“English-version books about the Liangzhu civilization”，和动词“release”之间为被动关系，所以用被动语态。故填will be released。
⑥考查形容词。句意：在良渚工作了11年，陈一直相信良渚5000年的历史是毋庸置疑的，因为它拥有作为一个古文明的所有必要元素，这也是良渚被联合国教科文组织列入名录的关键因素。分析句子成分可知，空处为形容词担当表语，意为“自信的，相信”。故填confident。
⑦考查名词的数。句意：在良渚工作了11年，陈一直相信良渚5000年的历史是毋庸置疑的，因为它拥有作为一个古文明的所有必要元素，这也是良渚被联合国教科文组织列入名录的关键因素。根据空前的“are”可判断，空处为名词的复数形式。故填factors。
⑧考查非谓语动词。句意：这位35岁的考古学家说：“我们必须与世界分享我们的研究成果，让世界各地的人们学习和了解中国的良渚文明。”非谓语动词担当结果状语，表示自然而然的结果，用现在分词形式。故填letting。
⑨考查主语从句。句意：陈的希望是让文物活起来，为全世界的人们详细介绍有关良渚的所有令人兴奋的研究成果。这里为主语从句的引导词，主语从句中缺少宾语，指物，所以用连接代词what引导；出现在句首，首字母大写。故填What。
⑩考查固定短语。句意：陈的希望是让文物活起来，为全世界的人们详细介绍有关良渚的所有令人兴奋的研究成果。固定短语：bring…to life，意为“使……生动活泼/焕发生机”，符合句意。故填to。

She laughed at my stories and I felt like I was doing something important.” Julia smiled and nodded. “That’s a great thing to pride yourself on, Jimmy.
