Jose Alberto Gutierrez’s life would never be the same again after finding a copy of Anna Karenina by Leo
Tolstoy in the garbage 20 years ago. It happened while he was driving his garbage truck through wealthier
neighborhoods at night and seeing deserted books. It sparked his desire to start rescuing books from the garbage.
He took home between 50 and 60 books every morning after his nine-hour shift. Eventually, he turned his book
collection into a community library.
Colombia’s capital city of Bogota has 13 million residents and 19 public libraries. However, these libraries
tend to be far away from where rural and poorer communities live. The option of buying new books is non-existent
for families struggling to make ends meet. Having access to a library of books and being taken away to another
world while immersed in a book is a luxury for the kids who visit Gutierrez’s library.
Gutierrez grew up poor, and his family could not afford to educate him beyond primary school. Nevertheless,
his mother was a keen reader and read stories to him every night. Her love for books left a deep impression on
Gutierrez, who never let a lack of formal education stop him from reading classics by the likes of Victor Hugo,
Mario Vargas Llosa and Gabriel Garcia Marquez.
Today, his community library, called “The Strength of Words”, occupies most of his home and is piled from
floor to ceiling with fiction and non-fiction titles. Everything from school textbooks to story books can be found in
his collection of more than 20,000 books!
The Strength of Words library opens every weekend. It is not just school-going children who are enjoying the
benefits of The Strength of Words library. Adults are also welcome to expand their horizons and develop new skills
to build a better life for themselves.
Despite having done so much for his community, Gutierrez is not yet content to call it a day. He continues to
search through bins for reading material and has even travelled to book fairs in Mexico and Chile to sell his idea of
building library from unwanted books.
4. What inspired Gutierrez to build the community library?
A. Famous novelists he liked very much.
B. The dilemma he faced on the night shift.
C. Abandoned books he came across at work.
D. The hobby he has taken up since childhood.
5. What is mainly talked about in paragraph 3?
A. Gutierrez’s mother was a good reader.
B. Gutierrez was greatly influenced by his mother.
C. Gutierrez led a difficult life during his childhood.

学科网（北京）股份有限公司D. Gutierrez had a disadvantage of poor education.
6. Which of the following can best describe Gutierrez?
A. Responsible and ambitious. B. Humble and thoughtful.
C. Committed and sensitive. D. Creative and courageous.
7. What does Gutierrez’s story tell us?
A. A book holds a house of gold.
B. Constant dropping wears the stone.
C. Good things come to those who wait.
D. One man’s trash is another man’s treasure.

From rolling hills to mountain ranges, views make any road trip memorable, but for blin d passengers this is
part of the experience they miss. Motor company Ford tries to change that. It teamed up with GTB Rom a and
AedoProject—to develop a technology that will give those unfortunate passengers a way to feel nature’s beauty
through their car windows.
The prototype (原型) of the smart car window has a device with an outside-facing camera. With just a press of
a button, the system takes a picture of the current view. The colorful picture is then turned into an image with
different shades of grey through, LED lights, which vibrates (震动) differently. As the finger passes over different
regions of the image, its shaking movements provide feedback through the sense of touch to the person using it.
The smart window also comes with a voice assistant that uses AI to identify the scene and help the passengers get
information on what they’re seeing.
“As the prototype started taking shape, we realized we were giving birth to a completely new language that
would give blind people a new chance to visualize and experience traveling,” Federico Russo.-one director of
GTBRoma, said. “When the idea was at its first stage, we looked for suppliers all around the world to make it come
to life.” He believes the technology can be employed not just in cars. “It could be introduced into schools and in
stitutions for blind people as a tool that could be used in multiple ways.”
The technology may show up in a Ford autonomous vehicle. It’s known that the company is testing their
technology and future business model and struggling to figure out how an autonomous vehicle gives different
passengers the details needed to get from one destination to another. It’s unclear when this technology will be made
available. However, the idea of building something for the less advanced is indeed a kind and influential action.
8. How does the smart car window work?
A. By sorting shaking movements. B. By recording the view with a camera.
C. By translating scenery into vibrations. D. By presenting different shades of colors.

9 What can we know about the technology according to Federico Russø?
A. It will have wide application. B. It will be used in schools first.
C. It will be tested around the world. D. It will understand different languages.
10. What difficulty is Ford facing currently?
A. How to explore their future business model.
B. How the technology is applied to everyday life.
C. How to produce autonomous cars in large numbers.
D. How an autonomous vehicle provides route information.
11. Which can be the best title for the text?
A. AI-based Window Adds Fun to Road Trips
B. Ford Develops a System for the Blind to Drive
C. Smart Window Lets Blin d Passengers Feel Views
D. Technology Makes Blind People’s Trip Enjoyable

When couples have an argument about things like finances, jealousy, or other interpersonal issues, they tend to
employ their current feelings as fuel for a heated argument. But thinking about the future helps overcome
relationship conflicts, according to a University of Waterloo study just published online in Social Psychological and
Personality Science. Alex Huynh, a doctoral candidate in psychology is the lead author of the study, which he
published with Igor Grossmann from the University of Waterloo, and Daniel Yang from Yale University.
Previous research has shown that third-perspective reasoning can be a positive strategy for reconciliation (调
解) of interpersonal struggles. Huynh and his collaborators investigated whether similar benefit can be induced by
simply thinking about the future. Study participants were instructed to reflect on a recent conflict with a romantic
partner or a close friend. One group of participants were then asked to describe how they would feel about the
conflict one year in the future, while another group was asked to describe how they feel in the present.
The team examined participants’ written responses through a text-analysis program for their use of pronouns—
such as I, me, she, he. These choices of pronouns were used to capture participants’ focus on the feelings and
behaviourofthoseinvolvedintheconflict.Writtenresponseswerealsoexaminedforforgivenessandreinterpreting the
conflict more positively, both of which implied the participants’ use of reasoning strategies.
The researchers found that envisioning future relationship affected both participants’ focus on their feelings,
and their reasoning strategies. As a result, participants reported more positivity about their relationship altogether,
especially when study participants extended their thinking about the relationship a year into the future.
“Our study demonstrates that adopting a future-oriented perspective in the context of a relationship conflict —

and relationship well-being,” said Huynh.
12. What do romantic partners do in face of most disagreements?
A. They lose faith in their future. B. They focus on their present feelings.
C. They look forward to a fierce conflict. D. They care more about financial problems.
13. What does the underlined word “induced” in Paragraph 2 most probably mean?
A. Caused. B. Explained.
C. Reduced. D. Influenced.
14. What were participants asked to do in the study?
A. Argue with their romantic partners.
B. Examine their use of pronouns.
C. Respond to a text-analysis program.
D. Write down their feelings about a conflict.
15. What is the main idea of the text?
A. Reasoning properly is necessary for reconciliation.
B. Extending a year is a solution to your personal problems.
C. Thinking about future is helpful to relationship maintenance.
D. Focusing on current feelings is the real cause of your arguments.

47. 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
Prissy came to us as a puppy, a little black Pekinese mix with the cutest face. As cute as she was, Prissy had
one major flaw ——she couldn’t even find her way home from the mailbox.
We spent half our time hunting for that dog. We live in a rural community of northwest Georgia ——mostly
woods and a small lake. She loved that lake, and spent most days patrolling the water’s edge for frogs.
Prissy didn’t always stay by the lake, though. She liked to explore. Consequently, it became an almost weekly
ritual to look for her. We rescued her from a boot camp for troubled teens, a neighbor’s house six miles away, and
even once from fifty feet up an oak tree.
Prissy was smart but she never paid attention to where she was going. She would just put her nose to the
ground and start following a squirrel, rabbit or stray cat. When she finished her mission she would have no idea
how she got wherever she ended up.
After a while, most of our closer neighbors knew her. Consequently, she never really “had” to find her way
home because she would just go to the nearest front door and cry and whine until they let her in. They’d call, and
we’d drive over and get her. If we weren’t home, they would just load her in their car and bring her home.
However, one time when she wandered off, no calls came in.
She had been missing for about fourteen hours, and none of our neighbors had seen her, so we decided to
search by car. We drove up and down the surrounding roads calling out to her, driving slowly and checking house to
house. After driving several miles in the surrounding area, we became discouraged and decided to head home to
regroup and figure out what to do next.
