Han Kang, the South Korean author best known for her extraordinary novel, “The Vegetarian,” was awarded
the Nobel Prize in Literature on Thursday - the first writer from her country to receive the award.
Mats Malm, the permanent secretary of the Swedish Academy, which organizes the prize, said at a news
conference in Stockholm that Han was receiving the honor “for her intense poetic writing that bravely discusses
historical events and exposes the fragility of human life.”
Han, 53, was born in 1970 in Gwangju, South Korea. Her father was also a novelist, but much less successful.
The family struggled financially and moved frequently. In a 2016 interview with The Times, Han said her
childhood experience “was too much for a little child, but I was all right because I was surrounded by books.”
When Han was 9, her family moved to Seoul just months before the Gwangju uprising (起 义 ), when
government army fired on crowds of protesters, killing hundreds.
The event shaped her views on humanity’s capacity for violence, Han said in the 2016 interview. She also
recalled seeing images of people who lined up to donate their blood to those who were injured in the uprising.
“It was like two unsolvable riddles imprinted on my mind: How can humans be so violent, and how can
humans be so noble ” she said. “When I write novels, I find myself always returning to the theme of what it means
to be human.”
Han studied literature at Yonsei University in Korea and her first published works were poems. Her first
novel, “Black Deer,” which came out in 1998, was a mystery about a missing woman. In the 2016 interview, Han
said it was around that time that she developed the idea for a short story about a woman who becomes a plant,
which she eventually developed into “The Vegetarian.”
4. What are Han’s novels themed at
A. Political systems. B. Financial struggle. C. Human nature D. Cultural conflicts.
第 4页/共 12页
5. What can we learn about Han’s childhood from paragraph 3
A. Father’s success: inspired her. B. Economic difficulty strengthened her.
C. Frequent move destroyed her. D. The habit of reading comforted her.
6. Why does the author mention the Gwangju uprising
A. To indicate the importance of history. B. To show its influence on Han’s writing.
C. To reveal the cruelty of politics. D. To stress its impact on Korean people’s life.
7. What is “The Vegetarian” mainly about
A. A deer. B. A woman. C. A plant. D. A vegetable.
C
Artificial intelligence (AI) is coming to work. Some people are worried. Can a computer do what I do faster
and cheaper Will my skills become obsolete What if a robot takes my job Software programmers are at the
forefront of facing up to this fear. AI assistants that write code are not science fiction. They are becoming an
established part of software development practices. We carried out a research project. We wanted to find out how
software developers felt about AI coming for their jobs. What we found was surprising. Programmers’ worries
about this technology were accompanied by excitement.
Initially, we found developers struggling with a mix of fear and doubt. However, as the programmers explored
the tool’s capabilities, a fascinating shift occurred. Excitement emerged. Programmers discovered the potential for
AI to automate uninteresting tasks. They include writing repetitive code blocks and fixing minor bugs. This freed
them up to focus on more creative and challenging aspects of programming. This led to a sense of achievement. It
also led to a newfound appreciation for this AI “code buddy”. This inner conflict is not unique to programmers. It’s
a window into how we all might react to intelligent automation in our workplaces.
As AI continues to develop, we need to not just consider the technical capabilities of the machines. We also
need to consider the human element. How do we feel about working alongside them This is important for
employers looking to introduce AI into their work systems. By understanding the emotional journey of their
employees, managers can anticipate initial resistance. They can tailor their approach. This might involve
introductions and training programs in stages. It might also involve clear communication about the benefits of the
technology.
Our study also highlights the importance of experimentation. The more that knowledge workers played around
with AI tools, the better they understood their value and how they can be integrated into their workflow. This
creates an environment of innovation and continuous learning within the organization. It is not just software
第 5页/共 12页
developers who are seeing AI become a part of their daily working lives. AI has been rapidly entering the
professional fields. If you have been feeling worried about the entering of AI into your working life, try seeing it as
a tool. It can boost your skills and expertise (专业知识).
8. What is the main point of the article
A. AI is causing permanent job loss in all professional fields.
B. AI can boost skills and creativity when integrated into the workplace despite causing fear.
C. AI is only useful in software development but not in other industries.
D. AI will completely replace software programmers and other professionals in the future.
9. What does the word “obsolete” most likely mean in the sentence “Will my skills become obsolete ”
A. out of date. B. out of reach.
C. out of order. D. out of trouble.
10. Why is the emotional journey of employees important for employers introducing AI into the workplace
A. It prevents AI from causing technical errors in the workplace.
B. It ensures that employees will be replaced smoothly.
C. It helps managers understand potential resistance and prepare better introductions and training programs.
D. It shows that workers will always fear AI.
11. What is the article’s opinion on the future of AI in the workplace
A. AI will cause workers to lose motivation and creativity.
B. AI will only affect a few specific industries like software development.
C. AI will completely replace human workers in all industries.
D. AI will be a valuable tool to enhance skills and expertise.
D
“The era of global warming has ended and the era of global boiling has arrived,” the UN secretary general,
Antonio Guterres, said after scientists confirmed July 2023 was the world’s hottest month on record.
“Humanity is in the hot seat,” Guterres told a press conference on Thursday. “For vast parts of North America,
Asia, Africa and Europe, it is a cruel summer. For the entire planet, it is a disaster. And for scientists, it is clear that
humans are to blame. Climate change is here, it is terrifying, and it is just the beginning. The era of global warming
has ended; the era of global boiling has arrived.”
Guterres urged politicians to take swift action. “The air is unbreathable the heat is unbearable, and the level
第 6页/共 12页
of fossil fuel profits and climate inaction is unacceptable. Leaders must lead. No more hesitancy, no more excuses,
and no more waiting for others to move first. There is simply no more time for that.”
“It is still possible to limit global temperature rise to 1.5℃and avoid the very worst of climate change but
only with dramatic, immediate climate action. We have seen some progress, but none of this is going far enough or
fast enough. Accelerating temperatures demand accelerated action.”
The WMO secretary general, Petteri Taalas, said, “The need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions is more
urgent than ever before. Climate action is not a luxury but a must.”
Other climate scientists confirmed the findings. Karsten Haustein at Leipzig University found the world was
1.5℃ hotter in July 2023 than in the average July before industrialisation.
Marina Romanello, a climate and health researcher at University College London, said, “We have data
showing how the very foundations of health are being undermined by climate change. But we still have time today
to turn the tide and to ensure a liveable future for us and our children.”
12. What made Guterres feel worried
A. Global economy. B. Natural disasters.
C. Serious pollution. D. Rising temperatures.
13. Why did Guterres use the phrase “global boiling”
A. To appeal to quick action. B. To change people’s concept.
C. To frighten the general public. D. To make his report vivid.
14. How does the author develop the text
A. By analyzing some facts. B. By quoting some experts.
C. By offering statistics. D. By giving explanations.
15. What would be the best title for the text
A. Global Boiling: It Is Time to Act
B. Global Boiling: Who Is to Blame
C. Global Boiling: It Isn’t That Serious
D. Global Boling: What Measure Should Be Taken

On the National Day last week, I invited my friend Jack to attend the Food festival held in Nanjing. When he
saw so many kinds of food, he felt so curious about them.
第 7页/共 12页
____16____. I told Jack that in my childhood, I used to spend time in the warmth of my grandparents’ home,
listening to her wonderful stories and greedily tasting bowls of her delicious chicken soup. After leaving my
hometown for work in Nanjing, every time I went back home, I took my time over cups of tea, enjoying the perfect
marriage of boiling water, ginger (姜), sesame (芝麻) and beans. The association was very amazing. Although I
tasted various delicate foods, I still cried out for what mother cooked for me. ____17____. Jack said that the
combination of tastes and family love lay in everyone’s memory. The feeling of happiness and sense of belonging
could become particularly important for people who lived far away from their home.
We wandered at the festival and tasted many kinds of food varying from spicy to mild. Jack was attracted by
the spicy crayfish. He wanted to give it a try. To my joy, the spicy taste made him let loose rivers of sweat. He cried
out for a bottle of icy water to relieve, but it didn’t do the trick. Also, Jack felt puzzled why people threw
themselves into long queues for food. I explained to him that it lay in the taste, because the favorite taste could lift
their spirits. ____18____.
We stopped at a food stand selling Spring Rolls, where the maker was taking his time over a delicate one.
____19____. The maker told us Chinese Spring Rolls were made of thin dough filled with meat and vegetables,
rolled and fried, tasting delicious and crispy. Known as spring pancakes, this traditional delicacy was believed to
have started as a special snack to celebrate the arrival of spring. So, to eat Spring Rolls is to follow the custom of
biting the spring. In its broadest sense, Spring Rolls refer to a type of finger food that is popular in various East and
Southeast Asian cuisines.
____20____. It’s a way of preserving history, celebrating traditions, and expressing a cultural identity. Food
festivals like these are not just about eating but are a celebration of diversity and a reminder of the universal
language of cuisine that brings people together.
A. Jack’s initial skepticism about the long lines began to fade as he started to appreciate the anticipation and the
shared experience that came with waiting for something truly delicious
B. Jack was fascinated by the careful preparation and asked the maker about the details
C. I thought the dishes my mother cooked represented the family love for her child
D. The dish to me, was not just about taste but also about the longing and the love that went into preparing it
E. Seeing his curiosity, I shared with him the words about some food and the memories that food evoked for me
F. As we savored the Spring Rolls, we discussed how traditional food is more than just a meal; it’s a symbol of
cultural identity
第 8页/共 12页
G. And the favorite food could serve as comfort food to enlighten our soul

It was in the early morning of one summer holiday that I was flying to Bali, Indonesia to see volcanoes. And
my best friend was waiting for my arrival there. When I got off the plane and stepped out of the airport, I was
thinking how unbelievable it was to stand in front of the spectacular volcano mountain. The imaginary sights
distracted me, for a moment, from my current problem.
Only when I stood by the bus station to Bali, did I realize that I had no enough cash on me. The only ATM
nearby didn’t seem to have any power, and I nervously looked down at my credit card, my only lifeline. I hoped
there might be a way to convince the bus driver to let me on and pay him once I reached the destination and got the
cash from my friend.
When the bus door opened, I stood behind a young lady and her little girl. I started to worry, wondering what I’
d do if the credit card didn’t make the cut. They boarded the bus, paid in cash and sat down in the first row. When I
approached the driver and held out my credit card, he looked at me seriously and shook his head.
“I don’t have any money,” I said. I showed him my wallet to confirm that I was telling the truth. He stared
back blankly and then said no. I still wanted to convince him again. I pulled up my flight information on my phone
and showed it to him. I pointed to the nearby ATM and signaled that it didn’t work. This time, he looked at me and
apologized to me. “I’m really sorry. Can you make way for the other passengers ”
I stood aside. “What should I do ” I hesitated. It was the first time that I had visited the city. I was unfamiliar
with everything around me. I searched the locations of other ATMs in the area. They were too far away. It would
