tightened their grip on the city, Gies’s boss, Otto Frank, asked her to hide him and his family from the Nazis, who
were sending Jews to concentration camps. For the next two years, Gies ____31____ her life daily to smuggle food
to the Franks and four others concealed in secret rooms above Otto’s business.
When she could no longer protect the family-when the Nazis finally came and took them away in 1944—Gies
kept their story alive by saving Anne Frank’s ____32____. She’s the reason the world has The Diary of a Young
Girl.
Later in Gies’s life, people called her heroic. Believing she simply did what she could in evil times, she is said
to have made this ____33____: “Even an ordinary secretary or a housewife or a teenager can, within their own
small ways, turn on a small light in a dark room.”
A Small Light tells Gies’s story in an eight-part mini-series shot in Amsterdam and Prague. In interviews on
location, its creators and actors ____34____ on why Gies remains an inspiration.
“____35____ most of us are familiar with the diary, what was going on outside the annex...is the mystery,”
says Tony Phelan, who with wife Joan Rater headed the project. Rater adds to that idea: “What does hiding people
mean on a day-to-day ____36____? Miep said yes to Otto Frank, and then you have to say yes every day
afterwards, even when it’s hard, even when you’re sick, even when you don’t want to. And that, to me the everyday
drudgery of it all, is quite dramatic.”
Phelan and Rater, married for 30 years, created, executive produced, and wrote the miniseries after six years of
research. It was a 1995 ____37____, Anne Frank Remembered, that initially ____38____ their interest, and they
visited the Anne Frank House, the museum established where the Franks once hid. After descending its
____39____, narrow stairs—as Ann had—Rater noticed a girl doing cartwheels(侧手翻) outside.
For A Small Light, Rater turned that memory of a girl’s carefree spirit into a flashback scene: Anne in 1941, on
Miep and Jan Gies’s wedding day. She’s skipping, excited over the romantic ceremony. Then within a year, her life
would be ____40____ but fear.
One bright spot for Anne was visits from Gies, who ____41____ supplies by bicycle. Actress Bel Powley
plays Gies and, to get into her character’s mindset, retraced those journeys. “Tony and Joan gave me all these cool
maps so that I could cycle Miep’s ____42____,” she says. Powley, who is Jewish, felt the ____43____ of telling
this story, especially as the shoot neared its end.
The girl who wanted to be a famous writer became one, of course. Still, no one would ever read____44____
that began “Dear Kitty” had Gies not gathered the scattered papers and the diary with the red-checkered cover and
later given them to Otto, the family’s sole survivor. The Miep Gieses of the world—the small lights, the
extraordinary ordinary people who did something, who pushed back against tyranny, who pushed back against

The Book of the Millennium
When I was a graduate student in Oxford many years ago, I shared a house with a brilliant German sinologist
(汉学家). Many visitors would pop into our house, and one night around the kitchen table I met
a(n)____46____character. His name was David Hawkes. A(n) ____47____ linguist, he directed Japanese
codebreakers in his early twenties, during World War II. Later, as a teacher, he did wonderful translation of Songs
of the South (楚辞), part of a poetic tradition earlier than anything that has ____48____ in the West. Then he
became a professor of Chinese at Oxford, but, as he put it, “I resigned in order to ____49____ my time to
translating a Chinese novel…Well, the Chinese novel.”
The book was Dream of the Red Chamber, written by Cao Xueqin. British ____50____ Anthony West wrote
in The New Yorkerin 1958 that the novel is to Chinese literature “very much what The Brothers Karamazov is to
Russian and Remembrance of Things Past is to French literature” and that “it is ____51____ one of the great novels
of all literature.”
Hawkes eventually completed his great endeavor, with the help of his son-in-law John Minford, who

____52____the last two volumes of the five, which were published by Penguin between 1973 and 1986. Hawkes’
translation was ____53____ as an introduction to a “masterpiece”.
Dream of the Red Chamber was written in the 1750s “by a great artist with his very lifeblood,” said Hawkes.
It is full of ____54____ detail of the social, cultural and spiritual life of the time. Studying it for non-Chinese
readers has never perhaps been more useful. At a time when _____55_____ of Chinese culture and identity is
increasingly necessary because of the country’s new international role, getting insights into the heart of Chinese
culture through a novel _____56_____ recognized as one of the most influential produced in the Chinese language
would seem as uncontroversial statement. Cao’s work while seen as essentially local and Chinese, is about
_____57_____ and the nature of human experience. That transcends the _____58_____ of a particular language
and context in which the novel is set.
The book as it stands in the Penguin version runs to 2500 pages — twice as long as War and Peace.
_____59_____ at first because of the large number of characters and their difficult names (to a non-Chinese
reader). But once you are into it, it is a book into which the reader can completely _____60_____ themselves; it is
like anything else in all of literature.
46. A. arrogant B. fascinating C. humorous D. responsible

Section B (22’)
Directions: Read the following four passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or
unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose
the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
(A)
Scholars have long debated how and when the Renaissance began. One thing, however, that most scholars
agree upon is the significance of this historical period as an evolutionary movement toward individualism in art and
thought. Although there is no historical agreement on the exact time order of events leading to the Renaissance,
many historians agree that visionaries of the fifteenth century had a sense of belonging to a movement far greater
than themselves and so far-reaching as to supersede the artistic and literary forms of the classical era. This
phenomenon produced the Renaissance, a period when art, literature, language, and philosophy found new and
extraordinary interpretations in the hands of the Humanists. Humanists believed in the importance of the
humanities or “human letters”. Eventually, intellectuals of this period became aware of man’s inner potential.
The fourteenth century Italian poet Petrarch characterized the early stage of this movement as the New Age. In
fact, it was his term, “Rinascita”, which comes from the Latin “renasci”, to be reborn, that eventually led to the
term Renaissance that we use today.
Petrarch believed that the end of classical antiquity and the beginning of a thousand years of darkness, which
he characterized as “the Dark Ages”, came with the destruction of the Roman Empire by invasions in 476 A.D. The
awakening from this period was a time of rebirth, which he distinguished as the New Age. Petrarch’s view limited
the Rinascita to the comeback of Latin and Greek classics from antiquity based on translations of ancient text. Most
significant was his belief that the pagans (异教徒) of antiquity were much inspired by the pursuit of arts and
literature in an effort to reach the highest potential of perfection on earth. This belief led to a new sense of
individualism and enlightenment that characterized the age of the Renaissance as one that was against the old
beliefs that man’s earthly life was merely a function of the social order. From the fourteenth century through the
early seventeenth century, this new individualism grew steadily in Western European culture with a motivation fed
by man’s desire to define and evaluate the essential values between men of antiquity and the emerging modern
man.

(C)
Tourism is a leisure activity, whose prework means just the opposite. Acting as a tourist is one of the clear
characteristics of being "modern" and the popular concept of tourism is that, it is organized within particular place
and occurs for a period of time, which is arranged beforehand. Tourist relationships arise from a movement of
people to, and their stay in, various destinations. This necessarily involves some movement, that is the journey, and
a period of stay in a new place or places. The journey and the stay are by definition outside the normal places, of
residence and work, and are of a short-term and temporary nature, and there is a clear intention to return home
within a relatively short period of time.
Modern societies engage in such tourist practices. New socialized forms of transportation and hotel facilities
have developed in order to cope with the mass character of the gazes of tourists, as opposed to the individual
character of travel. Places are chosen to be visited and be gazed upon because there is an anticipation (期望)
especially through daydreaming and fantasy of intense pleasures, either on a different scale or involving different
senses from those who have been there. Such anticipation is also constructed and stays through a variety of non-
第 12 页 共 17 页上海最大家教平台---嘉惠家教 2万余上海老师任您选（在职老师、机构老师、985学霸大学生应有尽有 ，+V:
jiajiao6767 )
tourist practices, such as films, TV, literature, magazines, records and videos which construct and reinforce this
daydreaming.
Tourists tend to visit features of landscape and townscape which separate them off from everyday experience.
Such aspects are viewed because they are thought to be in some sense out of the ordinary. The viewing of these
tourist sights often involves different forms of social patterning with a much greater sensitivity to visual
elements of landscape or townscape than is normally found in everyday life. People hang around these sights in a
way that they would not normally do in their home environment and the vision is objectified or captured through
photographs, postcards films and so on which enable the memory to be endlessly reproduced and recaptured.
One of the earliest research paper on the subject of tourism is Boorstin's analysis of the "pseudo-event" (1964)
where he argues that contemporary Americans cannot experience "reality" directly but are happy with "pseudo-
events". Isolated from the host environment and the local people, the mass tourist travels in guided groups and finds
pleasure in fake or man-made attractions, and is cheated into enjoying the pseudo-events and disregarding the real
world outside. Over time the images generated of different tourist sights lead to a closed self- perpetuating(自我延
续的)system of a false belief that provides the tourist with the basis for selecting or deciding potential places to
visit. Such visits are made, says Boorstin, within the "environmental bubble" of the familiar American style hotel
which keeps the tourist from the strangeness of the host environment.
68. In the 1st paragraph, the author wants to say that before you travel to a new place _______.
A. making a careful travel plan is necessary
B. planning travel involves time and thought
C. getting travel tips from your friends may save time
D. choosing unusual tourist attractions makes a trip memorable
69. The sentence “the viewing of these tourist sights often involves different forms of social patterning” in the
3rd paragraph means ________.
A. traveling to an unfamiliar place is a pleasant change from everyday routine
B new environmental scenes in a different place will become more attractive
.
C. tourists should find the native people and share with them ideas and experience
D. travelling is to see landmarks and discover unknown ways of life and values
70 We can infer from the last paragraph that ______.
.
A. when travelling, many tourists will miss their homes and friends
B. visiting popular tourist attractions is only a waste of time

Every Little Bit Counts?
One of the weapons in the fight against poverty is microcredit also called microlending). Microcredit is the
practice of giving very small, short-term loans to poor people.________72________ The loans help the borrowers
start or upgrade small businesses. Microcredit organizations assume that poor people can lift themselves out of
poverty if they only have access to standard financial services.
Grameen Bank, started as a project in 1976, is a pioneer of microcredit.________73________ Borrowers often
have no steady job no other property, and no one to co-sign on the loan - common requirements for getting a loan
elsewhere. Grameen Bank promotes credit as a human right, and with a 98% repayment rate, it seems to have
helped its borrowers improve their lives and made a profit through interest in the meantime.
Successes like Grameen Bank and others caused governments and NGOs to rush to fund microcredit
operations. How wonderful to imagine that the cure for poverty could be profitable! However, recent studies
question how effective microcredit really is. Critics say that poor people with enoughentrepreneurial(创业的) drive
to get a loan would have succeeded anyway. Those without the drive don't end up in better circumstances after
paying back loans，which aren’t always used for businesses. ________74________ And though microcredit is
described as a way to empower women，some say the loans aren’t causing any measurable improvement in
women’s lives.
The ideas behind microcredit are uplifting: that all humans are filled with potentials and that one small bit of
assistance can help a whole family live better. ________75________ Time and close study will tell if microcredit is

really the miracle it appears to be.
A. They also say that without a basic education, poor borrowers aren't equipped to manage the businesses they

B. In general, the loans are 100 USD or less, usually paid back within six months.
C. Borrowers need to provide the credit history, which the lenders will use as the criteria when evaluating a loan.

Parental Instincts
Last year in early summer, I was walking up the hill to my house in suburban Brisbane when I saw two birds,
each about 6 centimeters tall, standing in my driveway. They didn’t seem to notice me ____76____ I was right in
front of them and then they immediately scattered into the nearby bushes.
I was quite excited by the idea of two special birds ____77____(make) a nest in my front yard, although I
didn’t really expect them to as wild birds don’t usually nest so close.
A few weeks later, the birds reappeared. I found them crouching beside a tree off to the side of my driveway.
As I approached them, I imagined that they’d run away like they did last time, but instead they ____78____(stick)
out their heads and made a threatening croaking sound ____79____ came from deep inside their throats.
I did some research and found that the birds are burhinus grallarius(长尾石鸻). I still didn’t
know____80____they were croaking at me until a short time later I made an amazing discovery: they
____81____(lay) two eggs which hatched into two small birds racing around now.
As I crept towards the birds, careful not to make any sudden movement, they started their croaking again,
____82____(stretch) their necks forwards so they seemed longer and more threatening.
I was watching them in awe when I suddenly tripped and fell to the ground. The birds took this ____83____ a
threat and the father raced towards me, spreading his wings to shield the mother and the chicks while making

____84____ appear larger.
I was sorry ____85____(scare) them and left quickly.

Big Tech nervous as Europe prepares to regulate AI
European lawmakers are putting the finishing touches on a set of wide-ranging rules designed to govern the
use of artificial intelligence. If passed, those rules would make the E.U. the first major jurisdiction(司法管辖区域)
outside of China ____86____(pass) targeted AI regulation. And tech companies are lobbying(游说) hard amid the
battle over the scope of the rules.
The E.U. Artificial Intelligence Act is likely to ban AI that ranks citizens ____87____base) on their behavior
and facial recognition in public. The rules could set a global standard, as companies may find it easier to obey E.U.
rules in all countries, ____88____ to build different products for different jurisdictions.
One of the act’s most controversial points is whether so-called general-purpose AIs—like ChatGPT—
____89____ be considered high risk, and thus subject to the strictest rules. Lobbying ____90____ this possibility
are Big Tech companies, including Google and OpenAI’s biggest investor Microsoft, which ____91____(invest)
billions of dollars into building general-purpose AIs and seek to benefit from licensing them out to smaller
companies. “Predicting all potential risks” of general-purpose AIs would ____92____ be near impossible but also
hold back innovation, a letter to E.U. lawmakers co-signed by Microsoft in late 2022 says; instead, it recommends,
the new rules should place the regulatory burden on the often smaller companies ____93____ apply Big Tech’s AIs
to specific risky use cases. ____94____(categorize) general-purpose AI systems as “high risk” would be wrong,
Google argued in a separate letter to E.U. regulators, and could harm consumers and hold back innovation in
Europe.
A group of progressive politicians and technologists resist this idea, arguing that
excluding____95____(powerful) AI systems from the new E.U. rules would be similar to passing social media
regulation that didn’t apply to Facebook or TikTok.
