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.
6. How did Frank like rap?
A. He liked it all the time.
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.
第4页/共11页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司7. What can be learned about Frank’s illustrations from the last paragraph?
A. They are shown in a gallery. B. They connect us with history.
C. They have started a cultural movement. D. They changed people’s ideas about the past.
C
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.
第5页/共11页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司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.
D
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.
第6页/共11页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司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

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选
项。
What if I told you that having less stuff could make you a happier person?____16____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.
____17____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?____18____
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...____19____
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.____20____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.

47. 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

学科网（北京）股份有限公司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.
