A Lesson for Life
One morning, Sanggat, an eight-year-old student of mine, knocked on my door. He was here to help me sweep

Perhaps not?”

My Best Friend Dan
Walking home from school one day, I saw Dan, a kid from my school, “He must be a real nerd (书呆子),” as he
was carrying a lot of books. When I continued walking, I saw a group of kids run into Dan, knocking his books out
of his arms and he fell over. I ran over to help him, and as we were picking up his books, I saw tears in his eyes.
While I helped him stand up, he looked at me and said, “Thank you so much.” There was a grateful (感激的)
smile on his face.
We started talking and soon realized that we lived near each other. We talked all the way home. Dan turned out
to be a pretty cool kid. We hung out all weekend and the more I got to know Dan, the more I liked him. Dan and I
became best friends.
Over the years in middle school, he became more popular. In our last year, Dan got the best grades in our class,
and had to give a speech for graduation.
As Dan started his speech, he looked at me. “Graduation is a time to thank the people who helped you survive
those difficult years—your parents, your teachers, but mostly your friends. Thankfully, I was saved. My friend saved
me from making a huge mistake.” Everyone was surprised as he told us about his weakest moment.

People have long thought that AI will soon enough take jobs with repetitive labour (重复性劳动), such as truck
drivers, cleaners, but cannot copy the creativity only human brains can produce. Truck drivers, retail cashiers
and warehouse workers would all lose their jobs to robots, they said, while workers in creative fields like art,
entertainment and media would be safe.
Well, an unexpected thing has happened recently: AI has entered the creative class.
In the past few months, AI-based image generators (图像生成器) like DALL-E 2, Midjourney and Stable
Diffusion have made it possible for anyone to create unique, hyper-realistic (超现实) images just by typing a few
words into a text box. These apps, though new, are already surprisingly popular. DALL-E 2, has more than 1.5
million users generating more than two million images every day, while Midjourney has more than three million
members.
It’s still too early to tell whether this new wave of apps will end up costing artists and illustrators their jobs.
What seems clear, though, is that these tools are already being put to use in creative industries.
A few months ago, Sarah Drummond, a designer in London started using AI-generated images. Instead of
spending hours creating sketches by hand, Ms. Drummond, now types what she wants into DALL-E 2 or
Midjourney.
“All of a sudden, I can take like 15 seconds and go, ‘Woman at restaurant, black-and-white sketch,’ and get
something back that’s really professional (专业的),” she said.
Ms. Drummond added that AI image generators had limitations. They aren’t good at more difficult sketches, for
example, or creating different images with the same character. And like the other creative artists, she said she didn’t
think AI designers would replace human illustrators completely.

said. “But the throwaway work that you do when you’re any kind of designer, whether it’s visual, architectural, urban
planner—you’re sketching, sketching sketching. And so this is a sketch tool.”
27. According to the passage, AI based image generators can ________.
A. take the place of truck drivers
B. be more creative than humans
C. follow instructions to create certain images
D. create more than two million texts every day
28. What does Ms. Drummond think of AI image generators？
A. They are more convenient for creating basic drawings.
B. They will be widely used and end up costing artists their jobs.
C. They are sketch tools to realize what you want for final output.
D. They are good at creating different images with the same character.
29. What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage？
A. To compare different AI image generators.
B. To explain how AI image generators work.
C. To encourage people to use AI for art work.
D. To show how AI is affecting creative fields.
We’ve been told by parents and teachers since we were kids that “It’s good to share.” Taking it as an object of
study, psychologists (心理学家) have published various papers stating that the behaviour of sharing is beneficial to
setting up positive emotional connecting.
,
Today the action of sharing takes on more meaning. We are using technology to reduce the money that we
spend on goods and services, or to make money out of those that we don’t use all the time. These differ from car
shares to home shares, and even to pet shares. It is creating new ways of thinking and is providing services to people
when and where they want them.
This sharing economy (经济) is an answer to our increasing need for quality goods and services at competitive
prices, all delivered at a click. Whether it’s an online shop where we can get designer clothes at rock-bottom prices
(租) out our flats for a couple of days, it’s out there. Whether we’re a lender or a borrower; everyone makes or saves
money. We also make connections and sometimes even make new friends. What’s more, sharing encourages us to
reuse things, there by cutting down on waste.
But the sharing economy is not without its problems as it’s developing faster than ongoing supervision. Some
companies are taking unfair advantage of this situation to increase their share of the market. In addition, the sharing
第5页/共8页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司economy is open to misuse of trust. Some people have experienced loss of things while renting out their homes, and
others have found themselves being stolen or attacked while sharing rides. Finally, the heart of the sharing economy, is
not yet safe. Sharing websites collect personal information about almost every part of our lives, locations, bank
information, the technology to prevent such information from being stolen still needs improvement, and the awareness
of possible risks is low among both service providers and users.
Even though, what is in no doubt is that the sharing economy is increasingly related to our daily lives. It is
growing at such a speed that we can only imagine what it will include in the future. What will we be sharing next?
Who will be sharing and how? And the most interesting question of all—what type of society will all this sharing
take us to?
30. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Online shops are the products of sharing economy.
B. Both service providers and users think highly of risks.
C. Sharing economy encourages lending and borrowing less.
D. Sharing economy offers good services with reasonable prices.
31. The words “ongoing supervision” in Paragraph 4 are closest in meaning to ________.
A. final judgement B. fair treatment
C. continuous management D. powerful argument
32. The writer probably agrees that ________.
A. there are more possible risks of sharing than benefits
B. sharing economy will develop widely in different fields
C. it will be a popular way to make friends through sharing
D. sharing economy will bring positive emotional connecting
33. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. What’s Good to Share
B. What’s Mine Is Yours
C. The History and the Future of Sharing
D. The More You Share, the More You Get

Every Sunday at 2 pm, Marisela Godinez, the owner of a Mexican restaurant in Texas, used to fill a big bag with
more than 50 liters of leftover (未食用的) food which is unsold from the restaurant’s all-you-can-eat lunch buffet (自助
餐). “We threw out a lot of food,” she said.
第6页/共8页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司But a few months ago, Ms. Godinez signed up to use an app called Too Good To Go. Now, 10 customers pick
up “surprise bags” of her leftover food for $ 5.99 each and she sends far fewer leftovers to the bin.
Around the country, restaurants and grocery stores throw away huge amounts of unsold food every day. Apps
that connect customers to businesses with unsold food have begun to spread. The idea of apps like Too Good To Go
is to help businesses sell unsold food at a low price rather than throw it away. They say that the businesses and buyers
are helping the environment because the food would otherwise become food waste, a big contributor (导致因素) to
climate change.
Food production itself is a big contributor to greenhouse gas release (释放). It is responsible for nearly a third
of gas release in the world. Each step of the process—growing, harvesting, processing, packaging, storing and
preparing for food—releases carbon dioxide (CO ) and other planet-warming gases. When the food is wasted,
2
greenhouse gas releases. In addition, once unused food reaches the bins, it breaks down and releases more greenhouse
gases.
Too Good To Go has tried to make buying unsold food a game. In the United States, customers in 12 cities can
book “surprise bags” that typically cost about $ 4 to $ 6 each on the app. The food in the bags would have been firstly
priced at about three times that amount. Then, they can pick up the bags at a certain time window.
According to interviews with several companies selling on Too Good To Go, there are at least a few things that
buyers don’t think of as “food waste”. An owner of a company which sells drinks said he only used the app to sell
discontinued products but also new-flavored drinks in hopes of attracting new customers.

36. How do customers in America buy unsold food on Too Good To Go?
