Your 2024 Reading List, recommended by Musk
Do you want to be a billionaire? Most of us can’t live like Musk, the richest man in the world, but we can read
like him. Musk recommended four books in 2024 - though some were published earlier.
The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, by Douglas Adams
“This book highlights an important point that many times the questions are more difficult than answers. If you
can express a question completely, the answer is actually quite simple. So if we can broaden the range of
knowledge, that will be a good thing.” said Musk.
Franklin: An American Life, by Walter Isaacson
“He’s an entrepreneur,” Musk said. “He started with nothing. He was just a runaway kid. But such a man with
nothing turned out to be the drafter of the Declaration of Independence of the United States. During his stay in
France, he also received the support of France for the independence of the United States. Many other inventions
and contributions to American society are too numerous to mention.”
Super intelligence, by Nick BostromNick Bostrom, from Oxford University’s Institute for the Future of Humanity, won high praise for this novel.
This book suggests that the artificial intelligence of future computers will surpass human intelligence. After
reading the book, Musk wrote on Twitter: We should be very careful about artificial intelligence, because it may be
more dangerous than nuclear weapons.
Howard Hughes, by Barrett & Steele
“Howard is a famous filmmaker and aerospace powerful figure,” Musk said. “It is reading the biography of
such a wild and unruly American historical figure that can give me so much interesting inspiration and humor. So,
sometimes ideas don’t necessarily come from books on specialized subjects, and many of them are unusual. People
tend to give us more unusual but wonderful ideas.”
1. If you are interested in inventions, whose book will you most probably choose?
A. Douglas Adams. B. Walter Isaacson. C. Nick Bostrom. D. Barrett & Steele.
2. Which book gives Musk inspiration?
A. Howard Hughes. B. Franklin: An American Life.
C Super intelligence. D. The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.
3. What can be learned from the text?
A. Douglas Adams stresses answers are hard. B. Franklin got the support of the United States.
C. Musk gets inspiration from specialized subjects. D. The book Super intelligence was well received.

China’s new hit TV show To the Wonder has made Altay in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region a new
trendy tourist destination among young people, who are attracted by the breathtaking views and the simple and
heartwarming lives of the local residents.
Adapted from Li Juan’s My Altay, the drama tells the story of Li Wenxiu, who returned to her hometown after
career setbacks and found the meaning of life and her love there. The grassland views and free and easy lives
showcased in the teleplay soon made Altay one of the top scenic spots.
The travel website Qunar said that from May 7, flight ticket bookings to Altay rose 20 percent compared with
the same period in the previous month, and hotel bookings doubled during the period on its platform.
“The best travel season to Altay is usually from August to October, but its peak season will arrive earlier this
year, around June, thanks to the impact of this trendy show,” said Huang Minghu, travel website Tuniu’s director
for tour products in Xinjiang. He said that Altay enjoys great advantages in developing tourism, including its
breathtaking grassland and lake views, and original and well-preserved villages. The place is also a popular skiing
destination in winter.Wei Changren, founder of a tourism-related financial news website, said that Altay has not become famous
overnight, but has long been a destination well-known for its natural beauty. However, it hasn’t been very popular
because of long travel time and higher costs of accommodation. “It’s not that convenient to reach the place, as
many big cities don’t have direct flights to Altay. Travelers may have to take buses or cars for hours after their
flight, which is a problem,” he said. “But I believe the development of its tourism enjoys great prospects.”
“Altay has different charms in summer and winter, and these distinct seasonal views are attractive to
travelers.From my perspective, authorities in Altay can take the hit show as an opportunity and continue developing
good tourism and cultural resources to attract travelers,” added Wei.
4. What can we learn about Altay from the first two paragraphs?
A. It lacks breathtaking natural beauty. B. It has become a hot tourist attraction.
C. It has no impact on the tourism industry. D. It made Li Juan find the meaningful life.
5. What is the author’s purpose in mentioning the travel website Qunar?
A. To analyze the patterns of tourism in Altay.
B. To describe the tourism advantages of Altay.
C. To prove the impact of TV show on tourism of Altay.
D. To discuss the convenience of transportation in Altay.
6. What is the challenge in terms of Altay’s tourism development?
A. Lack of beautiful natural scenery. B. Lack of direct flights from big cities.
C. The increasing popularity of a teleplay. D. The increasing cost of accommodation.
7. What’s the basis of Altay as a tourism destination?
A. Its free and easy lifestyle. B. The teleplay filmed there.
C. The well-preserved villages. D. Its breathtaking seasonal views.
C
We often get into arguments with others and probably think we’re right, even if we don’t have all the
facts.According to a recent psychology study, people tend to assume they have all of the information that they need
to make decisions - even if they don’t. This is called the Illusion of Information Adequacy, as described in a PLOS
ONE journal article on October 9th.
In the study, researchers from Ohio State, Stanford, surveyed 1,261 Americans online. Group One read an
article that only gave reasons why the school should cooperate with another that has better water. Group Two read
an article that only gave reasons for the schools staying separate and hoping for other solutions to the
problem.Group Three was the control group that read all of the reasons from the above articles.They found that the majority from Group One and Group Two still believed that they had enough information
to make a good decision about what to do. Most said that they would follow the advice in the article they read.
Those from Group One were significantly more likely to recommend the schools cooperate, while readers
from Group Two were significantly more likely to recommend that the schools remain separate. About 55 percent
of the control group recommend the schools cooperate. The participants who had half the information also said that
they thought most people would make the same decision they did.
The team calls this belief that we are correct - even when we don’t have all of the information - the Illusion of
Information Adequacy. Fletcher describes it as “The less that our brain knows, the more confident it is that it knows
all it needs to know, which leads to overconfident decisions and judgments, when we are missing necessary
information.”
In a follow-up study with 100 readers from Group One and Group Two, the research tried to know what the
participants did after hearing both sides. At first, they shared arguments and reasoned together. Eventually, these
arguments and reasoning resulted in them saying “That sounds right.”
According to Fletcher, one of the best ways to fight the Illusion of Information Adequacy when disagreeing
with someone is to pause and ask, “Is there something I’m overlooking that could help me understand their
viewpoint better?” This can help reduce interpersonal conflict.
8. What is Paragraph 2 of the text mainly about?
A. The content of the article. B. The design of the survey.
C. The cause of the research. D. The reactions of participants.
9. What does the Illusion of Information Adequacy lead to?
A. Making decisions quickly. B. Feeling much too confident.
C. Knowing enough information. D. Always agreeing with others.
10. What did the follow-up study focus on?
A. The research result. B. The number of participants.
C The size of the groups. D. The process of changing minds.
11. What does Fletcher suggest to reduce conflict?
A. Agreeing with others’ ideas. B. Focusing on new information.
C. Ignoring deeply-held beliefs. D. Stopping to consider other views.
D
With the development of artificial intelligence (AI), it does much for people. But can you imagine the UK
government is considering the use of AI in the justice system?Supporters claim it can simplify legal tasks, cut down mistakes, and speed up cases. They suggest AI should
help analyze documents, forecast case results using past data, and even assist in drafting legal papers, easing
lawyers’ workload. Youmna Hashem from the Alan Turing Institute and her team have said that 84% of the UK’s
one billion yearly-interactions between citizens and the government could be done by AI.
However, Vinija Jain and his team evaluated how AI judges ethically (伦 理 上 ) ambiguous actions, like
stealing food due to hunger. Unlike humans, these AI systems lack understanding and sympathy, often finding
people guilty in such cases, which could have negative effects on legal situations.
Jain remarks that a human judge can announce “This is wrong, but given the current situation, it is forgivable.”
But it is not something we can realistically envision for an AI judge.
To address these concerns, the government is exploring an approach that AI supports rather than replacing
human judgment. This would involve tight testing of AI systems before they are applied to legal practices or in
courtrooms. Additionally, there is a push for being continuously monitored by legal experts to ensure that AI
recommendations are sound and ethically correspond with the principles of justice.
The debate over AI in the justice system is ongoing with both sides presenting heated arguments. While the
potential benefits of increasing efficiency and consistency are undeniable, the importance of preserving the human
element in legal decision-making still cannot be ignored. As the UK government moves forward with its
considerations, it will be crucial to strike a balance that takes advantage of the strengths of AI while safeguarding
the fairness of the justice system.
12. What is a significant worry about AI in the justice system?
A. AI is not open-minded. B. AI is not logical.
C. AI is not tender-hearted. D. AI is not intelligent.
13. What does the underlined word “envision” in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A. Participate. B. Expect. C. Analyse. D. Approach.
14. What does the government tend to do regarding the concerns about AI?
A. To use AI in the justice system. B. To replace human judgement with AI.
C. To employ AI with strict management. D. To protect legal decision-making against AI.
15. Which is the most suitable title for the text?
A. AI’s Role in Legal Systems B. AI’s Limitations in Crime and Justice
C. The Pros and Cons of AI in Justice system D. Automating Government Services with AI

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一个完整的短文。
Daniel was the new boy in our school. The teacher assigned me to him. He couldn’t hear or talk, so he had his
mom with him. She explained what professors were teaching in sign language. Sometimes I got caught staring at
him and my friends teased me all day. I noticed him going everywhere all alone, with no friends at all. Sometimes I
felt worried, maybe even concerned.
We were assigned as lab partners and surprisingly he wasn’t as bad as I thought. We would both sit quietly and
do our work. But when it came to communication and his translator wasn’t there, it was a mess. At first, I could
barely understand what he was doing with his hands. I could see in his eyes that he was getting annoyed at
me.From trying to communicate with sign language, he moved to pictures and words. That worked well for both of
us, but my drawing skills were not as good as his, so I stuck to words and gestures.
The second semester went by well and quickly. Daniel and I understood each other pretty well. I could
understand some of his hand movements. I realized that Daniel was different from anyone I’d ever met, me
included. Then he became my best friend and we both understood each other pretty well despite our differences.
But it was a pity that Daniel still couldn’t get along well with other classmates because of his disability. At
first, I thought Daniel didn’t care about this. However, one thing happened later changed my mind. That was Elly’s
birthday which was on the school day. The whole class sang the happy birthday song and shared a big cake
together.When we were all immersed in laughter and fragrance, I noticed the admiration in Daniel’s eyes, which
really hurt me. Later I learned from his mom that he never celebrated his birthday with friends. Hearing that, I
determined to do something for him.

【47 题答案】
【答案】Paragraph 1:
Then came the chance. As Daniel’s birthday was drawing near, I told the other classmates about it and we
decided to prepare a special gift for him secretly — a birthday song in sign language. We browsed the Internet and
downloaded a series of related videos to study secretly after school. The sign language was so difficult for us
beginners, but none of us quitted. We thought it would worth the effort when Daniel saw our sincere “surprise”.
Paragraph 2:
One week later, Daniel’s birthday came. I covered Daniel’s eyes and led him into the classroom. When I put
down my hands, he was surprised by the cake in the middle of the classroom and the celebration scrolls on the wall.
Then the real “surprise” began. All the classmates stood in a row and began to sing the birthday song in signlanguage. Daniel’s mouth widened and tears blurred his vision. He expressed his heartfelt gratitude to all the
classmates and from that day on, Daniel got on with all the classmates.
