You can study a wide range of topics in an art and design school, from history to sculpting,
theater to fashion. Due to the variety, learners remain interested, and a challenging curriculum
encourages them to think outside the box. The top art schools in Hong Kong are listed below.
The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (HK PolyU)
The school benefits from its location as a link between the East and the West, enabling its
students to improve their creative skills while also gaining a distinctively global cultural
awareness. Practical skills are thought to be a crucial component of the problem-solving process,
which students must practise through practical workshop activities. The workshop facilities give
students the chance to become familiar with the techniques needed for perfect making.
The University of Hong Kong (UHK)
Study subjects that interest you and select from a large range of beginner arts courses to learn
about new themes. You have the freedom to create a course of study that is ideal for you thanks to
the program’s adaptable curriculum and inviting dual (双的) degree choices. You will choose your
own combination of courses during your first year from a wide range of basic arts and humanities
courses.
The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK)
The Faculty (系) of Arts at CUHK has always been essential to the university’s commitment
to combining Chinese with Western traditions, bilingual teaching, and cutting-edge
interdisciplinary (跨学科的) research.
Vocational Training Council (VTC)
The multidisciplinary program here exposes students to a wide range of modern visual arts
mediums and actively involves them in the larger cultural sectors. And the program promotes a
dynamic climate where interdisciplinary arts projects grow via cooperation and creativity within
the arts sector. Graduates are also encouraged to pursue careers as professional artists.
21．Which school can you choose to learn to make things
A．The Hong Kong Polytechnic University. B．The University of Hong Kong.
C．The Chinese University of Hong Kong. D．Vocational Training Council.
22．What can students do at the University of Hong Kong
A．Obtain a global cultural awareness. B．Choose courses suitable for them.
C．Perform cutting-edge interdisciplinary research. D．Pursue careers as professional
artists.
23．What do the four schools have in common

C．They all aim to develop innovative talents.
D．They all provide a dynamic learning atmosphere for students
B
I grew up in a poor family. This was something I did not realize until I was older. I thought
everyone in the city took the bus, because everyone in my neighborhood took the bus. I thought
everyone in the city used the food bank, because all my friends’ cupboards were filled with the
same government-labeled food that filled my cupboards. We all wore hand-me-down clothes.
Grocery shopping was my first experience understanding that my family was a little
different. My mom used paper money that looked different from the paper money others in line
were using. I asked my mom why our money looked different. She said that we used food stamps
that were helped by the government so we could eat.
In high school, I was still embarrassed and wished we were not so poor, but I loved my
mom and the other members of my family and knew we had things to be proud of. My mother
taught me how to love and told me to believe in myself. Growing up in poverty taught me
perseverance (毅力). I have always believed in myself and my abilities. I knew I could focus on
school and build a life that looked different from my childhood.
As I became a man, I started understanding how my experiences enabled me to be resilient
(有韧性的), and how to respect people for who they are as an individual—and not by what they
have. I think there are a lot of fixed images placed on those experiencing poverty that do not
actually come from the people experiencing it. These judgments come from people on the outside
trying not to look into the experience. Hardworking , trustworthy, reliable, clean, efficient,
successful and disciplined are all words not typically associated with poverty. But those words are
very much shown by those experiencing poverty. I am proud to be who I am and proud of where
I’m from.
24．Why did the mom use different paper money in the shop
A．To show our difference. B．To spend the extra stamps.
C．To support the government. D．To buy food without real money.
25．What can we learn about the mom from Paragraph 3
A．She was wise. B．She was patient. C．She was single. D．She was educated.
26．What’s the author’s attitude towards to his experience
A．Frightened. B．Annoyed. C．Grateful. D．Confused.
27．Which is the most suitable title for the text
A．Struggling With Being Poor B．Lessons From Growing Up Poor
C．Staying Poor Means Staying Foolish D．My Childhood Memories
C
One of the best things about new technology is how it makes the world more accessible to
people with disabilities. Take Siri or Alexa, for example. They are a convenience or even a toy for
most people. But if you’re blind, they’re potential life savers, capable of sending messages or
receiving instructions, entirely through the power of your voice.
What’s truly exciting is how advances in artificial intelligence (AI) are enabling the creation
of even smarter accessibility features. On the most recent Google Pixel phones, it’s possible to
turn on a feature called “Live Captions”. This means that deaf people can easily watch videos —
or even make video calls. And perhaps more magically, the iPhone will even let you create a
simulation of your own voice and have it speak for you, giving us all technology similar to what
Stephen Hawking used, but in the palms of our hands.
What I think is most striking though is what all of these clever accessibility features mean for
the rest of us, who may not need to use the features for their intended uses. The idea behind smart
headsets(头戴式视图器 ) — if they’re ever going to be truly useful — is that they will work
almost as an extension of brains and bodies. We’ll want them to give us directions when we need
them, and help us understand our surroundings. And we’ll need a way to interact with headsets
without buttons or a touchscreen, using our voice or by gesturing with our hands.
This is for sure a tricky technical challenge, but it’s actually possible to imagine how such
headsets might work because these fundamental technologies already exist thanks to accessibility
features on smartphones already on the market.
Ultimately, this is a great way to think about accessibility features and why they’re so
important on our modern devices. Because they don’t just help the people who need them — they
help make our technology even better for everyone else too.
28．How does the author prove the point in the second paragraph
A．By giving definition. B．By making a comparison.
C．By making a summary. D．By giving examples.
29．Which is the original intention of accessibility features
A．To make the world more accessible to the disabled.
B．To help users in solving various phone problems.
C．To give instructions to the disabled.
D．To evaluate the uses of the phone.
30．What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 4 refer to
A．Fancy design. B．Convenient operation.
C．Secure material. D．Standard size.
31．What is the text mainly about
A．A vital role of accessibility features. B．A rapid change in life for the disabled.
C．A technical challenge of modern devices. D．A new function of mobile phones for the
disabled.
D
The dark days of the Depression saw an increased demand for stories that excite children in
new ways and support them in processing difficult emotions. The features of personalized books
meet this need well. With personalized Loss Books, children read about losing a family member.
With personalized Me and My Pet Books, children read about how they first met their dogs or cats.
Identified as the main driver of the rapidly growing interactive children’s book market,
personalized books are far from a gimmick (噱头).
Personalized books are printed or digital books that have been tailored to the needs of a
specific child. They follow a simple principle: the publisher provides the users with a pattern, in
which parents add their children’s data. Thanks to the advanced print-on-demand possibilities of
small-scale publishers, it’s not difficult to create a personalized version of any story.
Publishers claim that personalized books teach children empathy (同理心) and encourage a
love for reading. Now, you might think that it is surely what all parents and teachers want, so
should we replace all books with personalized stories
Recent observational studies confirmed publishers’ claim that children are highly engaged
and motivated to read personalized books. However, in a recent study, we compared children’s
understanding of the moral of a story and its application to their lives after they read a
personalized, non-personalized, or controlled story. Although children who read personalized
stories had more detailed retellings, there was no other difference between the three groups.
This could be because the differences among the children were higher than the effect of
personalization. Studies with personalized books are too few for us to know for sure.
Besides, while personal stories are often used in children with special educational needs,
personalized stories are a new writing style, raising many open questions. The misuse of children’s
personal data and the moral questions concerning diversity make one wonder how “personalized”
the books actually are. The other key point lies in directing children’s focus towards the other.
Meanwhile, experts point out that given the increased focus on personalized learning during the
gloomy days and the need to customize children’s reading experiences, the rising trend of
personalized books will continue.
32．What can we learn about personalized books
A．They are mainly in digital form. B．They are created by young writers.
C．They are highly thought of by teachers. D．They are very popular among children.
33．What does the recent study suggest
A．The effects of personalized stories need further study.
B．The varieties of personalized stories need expanding.
C．Personalized stories build up children’s sense of justice.
D．Personalized stories help children apply what they learn.
34．What’s the author’s attitude to personalized books
A．Objective. B．Concerned. C．Disapproving. D．Positive.
35．Which can be a suitable title for the text
A．How Personalized Books Meet Special Needs B．How Personalized Books Benefit
Children
C．Personalized Books: a Must or an Option D．Personalized Books: a Trick or a Treat

I am an eleven-year-old primary school boy and all of my teachers complained about my
unreadable handwriting. So I started taking my laptop to school and using it instead of paper,
books and 41 . At first I thought I was in heaven. Writing essays had become so
42 . Copying notes took seconds. I don’t have to worry about spelling mistakes and whether I
have 43 to carry my textbooks. I was always organised, as I could not leave my books
at home anymore as they were 44 in my machine, so you would think that it was
beneficial as a learning tool.
Unfortunately, soon I completely 45 all my ability to write, which is very
limiting when still at school. My spelling became worse as I no longer had to think about it due to
the computer’s auto corrector. However, this wasn’t what 46 me the most. It was the
fact that I was no longer learning what I used to in class. The simple act of writing something
down was a way of learning for me, and a laptop could never 47 that. Exams started to
become harder as I no longer knew all the words and phrases, because I 48 wasn’t
learning it just by typing it down. Also each lesson was at least five minutes shorter because of the
time needed to 49 at the beginning of the class and pack away at the end of lessons.
Finding and learning notes in your computer is also less 50 . Furthermore, a computer
does not have the same 51 of use as paper, as paper doesn’t have to be fully
52 . Finally I couldn’t focus on my class 53 I had the whole Internet at my
fingertips. So during lessons I would often search the Internet and have 54 .
As you can see, the 55 are far more than the benefits. Therefore I stopped taking
my computer to lessons. Now I perform better at school.

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。
It was cold outside. It seemed as if a snowstorm was approaching. As evening fell, the
wind picked up its pace, howling through the streets like a wounded beast seeking solace (安
慰) in destruction. Then the snow started.
As usual, Tom and I worked overtime in the company. After finishing the work, we were
ready to go home together. The snow was coming down even harder. Within minutes, I was in
a whiteout. After giving Tom a ride, struggling to navigate the icy path, I took a shortcut(近路)
so as to get home earlier.
The wind howled and whipped (吹打) the flakes of snow into a frenzy(疯狂), making it
impossible to see more than a few feet ahead. The car was frozen and getting covered with
snow, so I slowed down and rolled down my driver's side window, thinking I could better
follow the road edge and keep a straight line. But in fact, I had no clue where I was. I stopped
and kept the car running to stay warm. I called 911. Unfortunately, the operator told me that
the weather was too bad to do me a favor and asked me to wait out the storm for the night.
The call left me in a total panic.“ Breathe,” I told myself, attempting to keep calm.
Tom knew what had happened to me.“ Maybe you could ask for help online and there must
be some people living nearby your location and they can show you the right direction.” He
told me on the phone. I posted my location online and explained what I was going through,
wishing for anyone to come to my rescue.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；

【语篇解读】
本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了新技术如何使世界对残障人士更加友好和可访问，并探讨了工智能（AI）的进步和智能手机上的辅助功能如何不仅帮助了需要它们的人，还如何改善了所有人的技术体验。
【详情解析】
28．推理判断题。根据文章第二段内容可知，在第二段中，作者首先提到“What’s truly exciting is how advances in artificial intelligence (AI) are enabling the creation of even smarter accessibility features.(真正令人兴奋的是人工智能(AI)的进步如何使更智能的可访问性功能的创建成为可能。)”，即人工智能的进步如何使得更智能的可访问性功能的创建成为可能，这是作者要阐述的主要观点。紧接着，作者通过“On the most recent Google Pixel phones, it’s possible to turn on a feature called ‘Live Captions’.(在最新的谷歌Pixel手机上，可以开启一个名为“实时字幕”的功能。)”和“And perhaps more magically, the iPhone will even let you create a simulation of your own voice and have it speak for you, giving us all technology similar to what Stephen Hawking used, but in the palms of our hands.（也许更神奇的是，iPhone甚至可以让你模拟自己的声音，让它为你说话，给我们所有人提供类似于斯蒂芬·霍金使用的技术，但在我们的手掌上。）”这两个例子来具体说明这一点。因此，作者通过给出具体的例子来证明他的观点。故选D。
29．推理判断题。根据文章第一段“One of the best things about new technology is how it makes the world more accessible to people with disabilities. Take Siri or Alexa, for example. They are a convenience or even a toy for most people. But if you’re blind, they’re potential life savers, capable of sending messages or receiving instructions, entirely through the power of your voice.(新技术最好的一点就是它让残疾人更容易进入这个世界。以Siri或Alexa为例。对大多数人来说，它们是一种便利，甚至是一种玩具。但如果你是盲人，它们是潜在的救命恩人，能够完全通过你的声音发送信息或接收指令。)”可知，可访问性功能的最初目的是让世界对残疾人更加友好和可访问。故选A。
30．词句猜测题。根据划线单词上一段“We’ll want them to give us directions when we need them, and help us understand our surroundings. And we’ll need a way to interact with headsets without buttons or a touchscreen, using our voice or by gesturing with our hands.(我们希望它们在我们需要的时候给我们指路，帮助我们了解周围的环境。我们还需要一种不用按键或触摸屏就能通过声音或手势与耳机互动的方法。)”可推测，“this”指的是一种不用按键或触摸屏就能通过声音或手势与耳机互动的方法，也就是方便的操作。故选B。
31．主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段“Ultimately, this is a great way to think about accessibility features and why they’re so important on our modern devices. Because they don’t just help the people who need them — they help make our technology even better for everyone else too.(最终，这是一个思考可访问性特性的好方法，以及为什么它们在我们的现代设备上如此重要。因为它们不只是帮助那些需要他们的人，它们也帮助我们的技术变得更好。)”以及全文内容可知，文章主要围绕可访问性功能如何使世界对残疾人更加友好和可访问进行阐述。文章首先提到新技术如何使世界对残疾人更加友好，然后举了Siri、Alexa以及Google Pixel手机和iPhone的Live Captions等例子来说明这一点。接下来的段落进一步讨论了Apple如何通过其可访问性功能使iPhone对视力受损者更加易用，并强调了这些功能的重要性。选项A“A vital role of accessibility features.(可访问性功能的重要作用)” 与文章的主要内容相吻合，文章就是在阐述可访问性功能对于提高世界对残疾人的友好度和可访问性方面的重要作用。故选A。
D 32．D 33．A 34．A 35．D
【语篇解读】
本文是一篇说明文。文章主要围绕个性化书籍的兴起、特点、作用以及引发的讨论进行了阐述和分析。文章既介绍了个性化书籍的基本概念、制作过程及其在教育中的应用，也探讨了其可能带来的问题。
【详情解析】
32．推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Identified as the main driver of the rapidly growing interactive children’s book market, personalized books are far from a gimmick (噱头).(作为快速增长的交互式儿童图书市场的主要驱动力，个性化图书远非噱头。)”以及文章第四段“Recent observational studies confirmed publishers’ claim that children are highly engaged and motivated to read personalized books.(最近的观察性研究证实了出版商的说法，即孩子们对阅读个性化书籍有很高的参与度和积极性。)”可知，个性化书籍在儿童中非常受欢迎。故选D。
33．推理判断题。根据文章第五段“This could be because the differences among the children were higher than the effect of personalization. Studies with personalized books are too few for us to know for sure.(这可能是因为孩子之间的差异大于个性化的影响。个性化书籍的研究太少了，我们无法确定。)”可知，目前对于个性化故事的效果还没有足够的了解，因此需要进一步的研究。故选A。
34．推理判断题。根据文章第一段“The dark days of the Depression saw an increased demand for stories that excite children in new ways and support them in processing difficult emotions. The features of personalized books meet this need well. (在大萧条的黑暗日子里，人们对以新的方式激发孩子的故事的需求增加了，这些故事可以帮助他们处理困难的情绪。个性化图书的特点很好地满足了这一需求。)”以及最后一段“Besides, while personal stories are often used in children with special educational needs, personalized stories are a new writing style, raising many open questions. The misuse of children’s personal data and the moral questions concerning diversity make one wonder how “personalized” the books actually are. The other key point lies in directing children’s focus towards the other. Meanwhile, experts point out that given the increased focus on personalized learning during the gloomy days and the need to customize children’s reading experiences, the rising trend of personalized books will continue.(此外，虽然个人故事经常用于有特殊教育需求的儿童，但个性化故事是一种新的写作风格，引发了许多悬而未决的问题。儿童个人数据的滥用和关于多样性的道德问题，让人怀疑这些书到底有多“个性化”。另一个关键点在于将孩子的注意力引向对方。另一方面，专家们指出，在经济萧条时期，个性化学习日益受到关注，而且需要定制儿童的阅读体验，因此个性化书籍的趋势将继续上升。)”可知，作者既提到了个性化书籍的益处，如能够激发儿童的阅读兴趣、教授同理心等，也指出了关于个性化书籍的一些未解之谜和潜在问题，如儿童个人数据的滥用和多样性方面的道德问题等。作者并没有完全肯定或否定个性化书籍，而是客观地呈现了它们的优点和缺点，让读者能够自己做出判断。因此，作者的态度是客观的。故选A。
35．主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“The dark days of the Depression saw an increased demand for stories that excite children in new ways and support them in processing difficult emotions. The features of personalized books meet this need well. With personalized Loss Books, children read about losing a family member. With personalized Me and My Pet Books, children read about how they first met their dogs or cats. Identified as the main driver of the rapidly growing interactive children’s book market, personalized books are far from a gimmick (噱头).(在大萧条时期的艰难日子里，孩子们对于能够以新方式激发他们兴趣并帮助他们处理复杂情绪的故事需求增加。个性化书籍的特点很好地满足了这一需求。例如，通过个性化的《失去亲人》书籍，孩子们可以阅读关于失去家庭成员的故事；而通过《我和我的宠物》书籍，孩子们则可以了解他们与狗或猫咪初次相遇的情景。个性化书籍被公认为是推动快速增长的互动儿童图书市场的主要动力，它们远非简单的噱头。)”以及全文内容可知，作者首先提出了个性化读书的好处，然后讨论了个性化书籍如何满足儿童在困难时期对新颖故事和情感支持的需求，同时也指出了关于个性化书籍的一些潜在问题和争议，如是否应该完全取代所有书籍，以及关于个性化数据使用的道德问题等。也就是针对个性化书籍到底是个噱头还是真正对孩子好进行了探讨，所以最好的标题是“个性化书籍：是噱头还是享受”。故选D。

Acknowledge what they say about how they feel, and then say how you feel.”（解释一下，你知道你们之间发生的事情并不好，你想再次成为朋友。问他们现在对所发生的事情有什么想法和感受。承认他们所说的他们的感受，然后说出你的感受。）可知，讲的是问对方的想法和感受，承认他们所说的他们的感受，然后说出你的感受。结合选项C项Ask about thoughts and feelings.（询问对方的想法和感受。）意思一致，为总结该段内容。故选C项。
39．根据该段标题“Take responsibility and apologize”（承担责任并道歉）和上文“This doesn’t mean taking all the blame.”（这并不意味着你要承担所有的责任。）以及下文具体的行为例子可知，空格处内容应为与此相关。结合选项G项It simply means admitting your part in any wrongdoing and expressing that you’re sorry.（它只是意味着承认你的过错，并表示你很抱歉。）和上文意思一致，为对上文内容的递进，也是引起下文，上下文语意连贯。故选G项。
40．根据该段标题“Try only once”（只尝试一次）可知，只尝试一次去和他们说话，下文“You’ve done your best. Now, it is up to them.”（你已经尽力了。现在，就看他们的了。）指出你尝试了说明你尽力了，剩下的就看他们的了，结合选项F项If the other person refuses to restart talking to you, there’s nothing else you can do.（如果对方拒绝重新开始和你说话，你就无能为力了。）和下文内容紧密连接，下文是空格处内容的语意递进，上下文语意连贯。故选F项。

第二节
Within minutes, responses started flooding in. Some people offered words of encouragement, telling me to stay strong and that everything would be okay. Others shared their own experiences of being stuck in similar situations and how they managed to get through it. A few even suggested practical solutions, like staying in the car and waiting for the snow to stop or trying to find a nearby shelter. I felt a sense of warmth and hope amidst the cold and darkness.
Then I saw a big figure in the dark. As the figure approached, I realized it was a man wearing a thick coat and carrying a shovel. He introduced himself as a neighbor who lived nearby and had seen my post. Without hesitation, he started clearing the snow around my car and helping me push it out of the snowdrift. With his help, I was finally able to get back on the road and drive home safely. I was extremely grateful for his kindness and the support I received from the online community.
