11、he rough railing (栏杆) with one hand, held my crying daughter Kelly with the other and made my way into the yard. I knew everything would be okay if I located my mother.Instead of a smile, she greeted me with concern. I knew she had read my face as Id approached. “Whats wrong?” she asked.I held the b

12、aby out. “I cant take care of this baby,” I said simply. My mother didnt take her from my arms as I expected. She smiled slightly, and then replied firmly, “You have to take care of that baby.” This was not the response I wanted. Couldnt she hear the baby crying? I wanted her to fix this problem. In

13、stead, she took off her gloves and asked me in for some coffee.Mom held Kelly while I held the coffee cup. At that moment the baby finally stopped crying. I glanced over at Kelly, content in my mothers arms. Her tiny blue eyes were fixed on me, as if to ask, “Whats the problem here, Mama?” Her sweet

14、, familiar breath eased the stress in the air. I looked at my mother, feeling foolish but relieved. She stood and placed an arm around my shoulders. “By the time you came along, things were quite the opposite for me. But with my first child, you can bet that I often felt helpless.”The baby showed no

15、 signs of our afternoon struggle, while my own hair remained damp and messy from sweat and worry. “Crying is the only way babies have to communicate. Try to listen to her cries and hear them as language. Shes not crying to annoy you; shes trying to convey a message with the only voice she has.”Once

16、again, her gentle guidance had supported me through a storm and back into clear skies. As I headed back to my own home, Mom reminded me, “It wont always be so hard. Children grow fast.

20、e children that Santas post office in Himmelpfort, Germany, is open to receive your holiday wishes. That means you can mail your letters to Santa about 6 weeks sooner than that last year. Santa knows youve been good and wants to make sure he and his helpers receive your wish list earlier.Eight post

21、offices are organized across Germany to answer all the letters children send. This year they plan to receive over 250,000 letters. Though the letters fly from over 80 different countries, Santa and his helpers can understand and make sure to answer all the letters.In 1984, two children from Berlin s

22、ent their wish lists to Himmelpfort after spending their vacation there. Their letters were answered by postal employees and later Himmelpfort increased its helpers to meet the needs of increased mail traffic. Year after year, Santa and his crew use an eco-friendly powered vehicle to collect the tho

23、usands of letters they receive from young boys and girls. The great news for this year is that if you come to the beautiful town of Himmelpfort, you can drop off your letter and visit Santa in person, from Tuesdays to Thursdays until Christmas Eve.Santa does not currently have an e-mail, Twitter or

28、the recipient (接受者). But what if we have been wrong all along and that we could turn things around, which not only made gift buying easier, but the recipient happier?In 2015, psychologists Lauren Human and Lara Aknin conducted an online survey, which suggested that when people buy gifts, they prefer

29、 to choose something based on the recipients personality and tastes. Most people also said that they preferred receiving gifts bought with them in mind: gifts for them.But Human and Aknin wondered if this approach to giving failed to take advantage of the way we connect as people. So they sent 78 vo

30、lunteers into a shopping centre before Mothers Day. Half were told to buy a card that “reveals(揭示) your knowledge of the recipient” while the others set out to buy a card that “reveals your true self”. After the purchase, the givers who had thought partly of themselves reported feeling emotionally c

31、loser to their mothers.To find out how that approach goes down with recipients, the psychologists did another test, asking more than 100 students to choose a song on iTunes to give to a friend, partner or family member. Each half of the group received the same instructions as the card buyers. Result

32、s revealed that recipients of songs that revealed something of the givers felt closer to them than those who received gifts bought only with them in mind.Human and Aknin suggest it might apply to all gifts. “If building stronger social connections is the underlying (潜在的) goal” of a gift and surely i

33、t should bethen we “may well be advised to offer more self-reflective gifts”. In short, for a present to be meaningful, you need to give away a bit of yourself, even if there is a risk that the gift might not so closely suit the recipients practical needs or tastes as one acquired purely with that i

34、n mind.Moreover, giving something of oneself can be a safer act, the psychologists added. Because it reduces the risk of revealing poor knowledge of a recipient by attempting to buy something that fits their characterand failing.But a note of caution here: what the research does not examine is the p

35、otential risk in repeated, unsympathetic giver-centered giving, which, according to Human and Aknin “could signal self-obsession” and nobody wants to reveal that about themselves.1、From the Mothers Day card test, we can conclude that _.Agifts chosen with the giver in mind work well on the giverBmost

36、 people choose gifts with the recipient in mindCmost people choose gifts based on their personal tastesDgifts chosen with the giver in mind work well on the recipient2、What do the underlined words “them, them” refer to in order of appearance?AThe recipients; the givers.BThe givers; the recipients.CT

37、he givers; the givers.DThe recipients; the recipients.3、What does the author think is the significance of gift giving?AMaking the givers life happier.BShowing ones knowledge of the recipient.CEstablishing and strengthening social connections.DMeeting the recipients practical needs.4、Which of the fol

38、lowing is Human and Aknins advice on gift giving?AChoose gifts that reflect more of yourself.BJust focus on your own tastes when choosing gifts.CBuy something that fits the recipients character most.DBe careful not to signal your true personality.5、Which is the best title of this passage?AThe tradit

39、ion of gift giving.BThe purpose of gift giving.CThe effect of gift giving.DThe psychology of gift giving.24（8分）In a few decades, AI (Artificial Intelligence) will outstrip (超越) many of the abilities we believe make us special. This is a grand challenge for our age, and it may require an effective re

40、sponse.With computers conquering what used to be deeply human tasks, what will it mean in the future to be human?Some are worried that self-driving cars and trucks may displace millions of professional drivers, and disrupt entire industries. But I worry about my six-year-old son. What will his place

41、 be in a world where machines conquer us in one area after another? What will he do, and how will he relate to these ever-smarter machines? What will be his and his human peers contribution to the world hell live in?Actually, it all comes down to a fairly simple question: Whats so special about us,

42、and whats our lasting value? It cant be skills like arithmetic or typing. Nor can it be rationality (理性), because with all our emotions we humans are lacking it.So perhaps we might want to consider qualities at a different angle: brave creativity, irrational originality, even a dose of plain illogic

43、al craziness, instead of hard-nosed logic.I am not suggesting we give up on reason, logic, and critical thinking. In fact, just because I think so highly of the values we associate with rationality, I do believe we might want to celebrate a bit of the opposite.So we must aim our human contribution t

44、o this division of labor to complement (补充) the rationality of the machines, rather than to compete with it, because that will sustainably differentiate us from them, and it is differentiation that creates value.What should we do? If I am right, we should develop a creative spirit, even irrational i

45、deas as we educate our children.Unfortunately, however, our education system has not caught up to the coming reality of this Second Machine Age. Our schools and universities are structured to mold (塑造) pupils to be mostly servants of rationality, and to develop outdated skills in interacting with ou

46、tdated machines.1、What does the author worry about?AMany peoples losing their jobs.BHuman beings position in the world.CMachines conquering human beings.DMany automatic machines appearing.2、What do the underlined words “the opposite” in Paragraph 6 refer to?AIrrational behaviors. BReasonable activit

47、ies.CDangerous moves. DLogic thinking.3、What should we do to deal with the future challenges from machines?ATry to copy their examples. BTry to do better than them.CTry to do what they cant do. DTry to be smarter than them.4、Whats the authors attitude toward todays education?AUnclear. BConfused.CCon

48、fident. DDisappointed.25（10分） For all the pressures and rewards of regionalization (地区化) and globalization, local identities remain the most deeply impressed. Even if the end result of globalization is to make the world smaller, its scope seems to foster the need for more private local connections a

49、mong many individuals. As Bernard Poignant, mayor of the town of Quimper in Brittany, told the Washington Post, “Man is a fragile animal and he needs his close attachments. The more open the world becomes, the more ties there will be to one s roots and ones land.”In most communities, local languages

50、 such as Poignants Breton serve a strong symbolic function as a clear mark of “authenticity (原真性)”. The sum total of a communitys shared historical experience, authenticity reflects a noticeable line from a culturally idealized past to the present, carried by the language and traditions associated w

51、ith the communitys origins. A concern for authenticity leads most secular (世俗的) Israelis to defend Hebrew among themselves while also acquiring English and even Arabic. The same obsession with authenticity drives Hasidic Jews in Israel or the Diaspora to champion Yiddish while also learning Hebrew a

52、nd English. In each case, authenticity amounts to a central core of cultural beliefs and interpretations that are not only resistant to globalization but also are actually reinforced by the “threat” that globalization seems to present to these historical values. Scholars may argue that cultural iden

53、tities change over time in response to specific reward systems. But locals often resist such explanation and defend authenticity and local mother tongues against the perceived threat of globalization with near religious eagerness.As a result, never before in history have there been as many standardi

54、zed languages as there are today: roughly 1,200. Many smaller languages, even those with far fewer than one million speakers, have benefited from state-sponsored or voluntary preservation movements. On the most informal level, communities in Alaska and the American northwest have formed Internet dis

55、cussion groups in an attempt to pass on Native American languages to younger generations. In the Basque, Catalan, and Galician regions of Spain, such movements are fiercely political and frequently involved loyal resistance to the Spanish government over political and linguistic rights. Projects hav

56、e ranged from a campaign to print Spanish money in the four official languages of the state to the creation of language immersion nursery and primary schools. Zapatistas in Mexico are championing the revival of Mayan languages in an equally political campaign for local autonomy.In addition to causin

57、g the feeling of the subjective importance of local roots, supporters of local languages defend their continued use on practical grounds. Local tongues foster higher levels of school success, higher degrees of participation in local government, more informed citizenship, and better knowledge of ones

58、 own culture, history, and faith. Government and relief agencies can also use local languages to spread information about industrial and agricultural techniques as well as modern health care to diverse audiences. Development workers in West Africa, for example, have found that the best way to teach

59、the vast number of farmers with little or no formal education how to sow and rotate crops for higher yields is in these local tongues. Nevertheless, both regionalization and globalization require that more and more speakers of local languages be multi-literate.1、In paragraph 1, the author quoted a m

60、ayors word to show that globalization _.Astrengthens local identitiesBweakens regionalizationCstrengthens individualismDweakens local attachments2、The influence of globalization on authenticity is that it _.Aweakens the authority of authenticityBprevents the development of authenticityCenhances the
