二、阅读理解（共4小题；每小题5分，满分20分）
To book lovers, nothing beats walking through a bookshop and looking at all the covers, picking large heavy books up and turning them over, the smell of ink on paper, conversations with strangers about authors. With the coming of the online book buying and e-books, many have predicted that the bookstores will disappear. And we're grateful that there are plenty of beautiful bookstores still out there.
El Ateneo Grand Splendid
Designed for Max Glücksmann, a pioneer of the music and film industries, this wonderful theatre space was opened in 1919. The former theatre now serves as a flagship bookstore; more than 1 million people visit El Ateneo Grand Splendid every year.
The Book Barge
The Book Barge is a 60-foot canal boat bookshop. Inspired by the Slow Food movement, the operator Sarah Henshaw says, "We hope to help develop a less hurried lifestyle of leisurely pleasures, cups of tea, conversations, culture and something like these."
Selexyz Dominicanen
For those who regard bookstores with great respect, welcome to Selexyz Dominicanen, which now offers many kinds of books. The big space was used to store bicycles not long ago. But then the building was given interior (内部的) decoration, and the result is really a great surprise.
La Caverne aux Livres
Few things make as romantic a pairing as books and trains. At La Caverne aux Livres in Auvers-sur-Oise, a commune in the northwestern suburbs of Parin, an old postal train station and several train cars have become home to used books for sale. Visitors often spend hours looking at them , surrounded by an atmosphere of old letters and dreams of faraway places.

二、阅读理解（共4小题；每小题5分，满分20分）
Last weekend, I said goodbye to another dear old friend. We had 12 fine years together, but our relationship was becoming dysfunctional(不正常的). Unwanted emissions and serious health problems were the final straw, leaving me with no choice but to make a trip to the knacker's yard.
I am now car-free for the first time in 20 years, and it feels strange. When I gave up meat, I did so mainly for environmental reasons, and I didn't miss it at all. I would like to say the same about my car, but I can't. It was first and foremost a financial decision: keeping the old car on the road was getting too expensive.
But doing the right thing for the wrong reasons is still doing the right thing-I now have a chance to rethink how I move myself and my family around, and can try to find a more environmentally friendly means of transport.
Going car-free is, I think, a lifestyle change that many of us are going to make over the next few years, as car ownership becomes increasingly unnecessary, expensive and socially unacceptable. However, it is easier said than done. Now my car is gone. I still need to get around. But how I already cycle to work and use public transport when appropriate. But there are some occasions when a car seems to be the only way.
I won't buy one. I have joined a car-share program and will use taxis more often. I will hire a car if I need to drive a long distance. But then I am still travelling in fossil-fuelled cars(燃油汽车), like when I quit meat and ended up eating more cheese. I fear I may have swapped one environmental problem for another.
I am also afraid to think about the ultimate fate of my car. I have just offloaded more than a ton of metal, plastic, rubber, fabric, electronics, oil and petrol that will end up in a landfill. There are millions of similar vehicles in the UK alone that will have to go somewhere.
Maybe I am overthinking it. According to Charlie Wilson, a climate scientist at the UK's Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research, getting rid of a private car is no doubt a positive step to reduce CO2 emissions.
He points to research by the OECD's International Transport Forum. “They showed that moving from a private vehicle fleet(车队) to a shared vehicle fleet can greatly cut the number of vehicles you need to deliver the mobility that we need and want. If that vehicle fleet is electrified, you can also bring CO2 emissions close to zero.”
So in other words, just get rid of your car.
11.What do we know about the author's car
A.It was old. B.It was green.
C.It was his first car. D. It was a second-hand car.
12.What do the author's giving up meat and saying goodbye to his car have in common
A. He did both for the wrong reasons.
B. He thinks both help him save money.
C. He considers both are right decisions.
D. He did both out of concern for the environment.
13.What does the author fear
A. He may have to spend more on travel.
B. His lifestyle might be changed completely.
C. He might get bored with public transportation.
D. His decision may fail to help the environment.
14.What does Charlie Wilson say
A.It is wise to do away with old private cars.
B. It is very easy to deal with old private cars.
C. Electric cars are the solution to traffic problems.
D. The OECD plays a key role in promoting car-sharing.
三、七选五（共5小题；每小题4分，满分20分）
As artificial intelligence (AI) continues to change our world, it will have good and bad influences on our society. ① _________ But some changes could be challenging. Here are some of the challenges that might be faced by us in the future. And we should be thinking about how to deal with them now.
② _________ Some people are concerned about the loss of jobs caused by use of machines. But the real challenge for humans is to find their love for new jobs and develop the ability to take these new jobs. According to PwC, a global company, millions of present jobs will be replaced by AI in the UK for decades to come. ③ _________ When people face new jobs, making a living can be challenging for some of them.
Another challenge is about the safety of our data, like our age, our address and our interests. ④ _________ As more and more personal data is called every day by some people and companies, the government should make laws to protect the safety of each person’s data.
One more challenge is whether machines will become super-intelligent and be out of humans’ control at last. If that happens, it may risk our society’s safety, instead of doing good to it. ⑤ _________ Researcher Elon says, “To deal with this challenge, all countries should work together so that we don’t end up doing something wrong with the technology.”
Thus, in the long run, we have to watch these challenges AI brings to our society.
A. AI is often closely connected to data.
B. AI will surely cause our job market to change.
C. But more new jobs will be created for humans.
D. AI will make people reconsider their choice of jobs.
E. People take different attitudes towards the use of AI.
F. This unwanted result of AI’s development will likely challenge us all.
G. Some people believe that the changes that AI brings will mostly be good.

四、书面表达
答案：
Dear Peter,
In your last e-mail you said you wanted to learn about changes of Chinese people's life in the past 40 years. Since China opened its door to the world, life has become much more convenient.
Let's take living conditions and transportation as examples. 40 years ago, most people lived in small houses in China where in winter it was cold. Now, people live in large houses equipped with heating systems. Bicycles used to be the main transportation. Now private cars have become household items.
In the future, Chinese people will keep pace with the latest science and technology development. I hope you can come and see what China is like in person some day.
Yours,
Li Hua
