While he was building this last house,his work was not as excellent as before.He used inexpensive and low﹣quality materials and cut corners wherever he could.
When the carpenter finished the work,his boss came to look at the house.He gave the key to the carpenter and said, "This house is my gift to you for all of the hard work you have done for me over the years." The carpenter was shocked.
What a valuable gift!But if he had known he was building a house for himself,he would have tried his best to create a high﹣quality home.
The same happens to how you build your life.Every day offers a chance for you to put your best foot forward,yet we often do average work,saving the more important things for "another" day.Then one day,we find ourselves shocked that our lives aren't what we had hoped they would be.The "house" we built to live in is not as good as we expected.
However,you can't go back and rebuild it in a day or two.As people say, "Life is a do﹣it﹣yourself project." Your thought and choices help build the life you will live tomorrow.So,build carefully.

16.(6分)In recent years,there have been increasing calls for artificial intelligence (AI) to take the place of human intelligence in a large number of tasks.The argument goes that,because AI can now do better than humans in many understandable tasks,it is only a matter of time before AI wins human intelligence as a whole.This opinion has been popular with a number of leading AI researchers.
Ray Kurzweil,a well﹣known researcher,has predicted that AI will reach human﹣level intelligence by 2029.The idea that AI could one day take the place of human intelligence is both exciting and scary.On the one hand,the possibilities for AI to solve many of the world's most urgent problems are huge.On the other hand,the future of machines becoming smarter than humans is also one of the most feared effects of AI development.
If AI systems become more intelligent than humans,they could possibly solve many of the world's most urgent problems.This is because AI would be able to deal with large amounts of information and find solutions that humans could never find.For example,AI could be used to solve problems such as climate change,hunger,and disease.AI could also be used to improve transportation and communication.
However,one of the main arguments against AI taking the place of human intelligence is that AI systems still have a long way to go.This is especially clear when you compare AI to human intelligence as a whole.This is because human intelligence is more than just the ability to perform thinking tasks.Human intelligence also includes the ability of feelings,social skills,and physical activities.AI systems are still a long way to go from being able to replicate all of these aspects of human intelligence.For example,AI has difficulty processing and dealing with emotions,which is an important part of human communication and interaction.Additionally,AI cannot replicate the creativity and imagination that humans have,as it is limited by the data it has been programmed with.
So,should we be worried that AI will one day take the place of human intelligence?It's hard to say for sure.There are arguments for and against the idea,and it's impossible to know what will happen in the future.Clearly,they are only going to become more intelligent in the future,which is likely to have a major influence on our lives.However,what we can do is deal with the facts and make a sound decision.
(1)What can we learn about AI from this passage?
A.AI system is fully developed and used in the world.
B.AI can do better than humans in understandable tasks.
C.AI can solve climate change,hunger,and disease now.
D.AI system includes the ability of feelings and social skills.
(2)The underlined word "replicate" in paragraph 4 probably means .
A.record
B.receive
C.cause
D.copy
(3)The writer probably agrees that .
A.AI system can be more intelligent without bad effects.
B.people will be excited to have AI solve their problems.
C.people think AI may have a major influence on our lives.
D.AI will fully take the place of human intelligence by 2029.

Dealing With Boredom Or Not?
Boredom has been connected to human action including inattentive walking,purposeless driving and so on.In fact,many of us would choose pain instead of boredom.To study the phenomenon (现象),a group asked volunteers to watch boring,sad,or indifferent films,during which they could decide to hit themselves.The volunteers who watched boring films hit themselves more and harder than the volunteers who watched the sad or indifferent films did.
But boredom isn't all bad.Studies point to how boredom is good for creativity,as well as mind health.It is found that people are more creative following the completion of a boring task.When people are bored,they have an increase in "associative thought"—the process (过程) of making new connections between ideas,which is connected to creative thinking.
These studies are impressive and meaningful,but in reality,the benefits of boredom may be connected to having time to clear your mind,be quiet,or daydream.In the modern world,it seems unrealistic that boredom could happen at all.Yet,there are certain reasons why boredom may feel so painful.As it turns out,boredom might mean that you have a need that isn't being met.
Our always﹣on world of social media may result in more connections,but they are superficial (肤浅,表象) and can get in the way of building a real sense of togetherness.Feeling bored may mean the wish for a greater sense of community and the feeling that you fit in with others around you.So take the step of joining an organization to build face﹣to﹣face relationships.You'll find depth that you won't get from your screen no matter how many likes you get on your online post.
Similar to the need for togetherness,bored people often report that they feel a limited sense of meaning.It's a basic human need to have a larger purpose and to feel like we're part of something bigger than ourselves.When people are bored,they're more likely to feel less meaningful in their lives.If you want to lower boredom and increase your sense of meaning,find a work where you can complete a special task successfully,or find a cause you can support with your time and talent.
If you think that boredom is being quiet,mindful,and helpful for thinking,keep it up.But if you're dealing with real boredom and the emptiness it causes,consider whether you might find new connections and more meaningful tasks.These are the things that will really lower boredom and make you happier.
(1)What can we know about boredom from paragraph 2?
A.It is a result of doing boring tasks.
B.It's a benefit for creative thinking.
C.It helps people connect with others.
D.It does harm to one's mind health.
(2)What does the writer think boredom can be?
A.A need to be fulfilled.
B.A feeling to be sure.
C.A process to be completed.
D.A wish to be left alone.
(3)According to the writer,which one is TRUE?
A.Boredom is so painful that we should try to avoid it.
B.Social media is helpful to build deep connections.
C.Creative thinking is sometimes connected with boredom.
D.People who feel bored usually try to avoid communicating.
(4)What does the writer suggest people do to lower boredom?
A.Participate in more online discussions.
B.Count the likes they get on their posts.
C.Manage to meet all their basic needs.
D.Take part in real﹣life communication.
第二部分本部分。。根据题目要求,完成相应任务。四、阅读表达。阅读短文,根据短文内容回答问题。

Ways To Show More Confident Body Language
Confident body language is a way to show self﹣assurance and lack of fear in a situation without using words.By using nonverbal communication and movements,people can show their confidence in both personal and working settings.Body language is made up by the following parts:hand gestures,facial expressions,tone of voice,body movements and touch.
Practicing confident body language can help improve your confidence by making you pay more attention to your actions and the influence they have on others.Another benefit includes improving your relationships and helping others make better judgments about you.Here are some ways to project confidence with your body language:
①Give your full attention
Give the person who you're speaking to your full attention,a sure sign that you're listening to them.When practicing giving your full attention,consider looking at a point near their eyes or their eyebrows until you feel more comfortable.
②Be mindful of your hands
Make sure your hands can be seen.Keep them away from your pockets.Hand gestures can also help make your ideas clearer if you can use them properly.One way to help keep you from touching your face is to keep your hands on your leg.
③Give a confident handshake
A confident handshake is one way to create an excellent first impression with people you're meeting.When offering your hand,hold the other person's hand tightly to show your confidence.Remember to move your hands in the air a few times before you finish the handshake.
④Pay attention to your facial expression
Since facial expressions can show what you're thinking,it's important to keep confident facial expressions when meeting with others.Remember to smile to show you're enjoying the situation and feel comfortable.Also,pay attention to how your face usually rests,and be mindful about creating a positive facial expression.
⑤Pay attention to the speed of your conversation
When talking,consider how fast you speak and the number of words you use per minute.For everyday discussions,speed up to help keep your listener listening.However,when explaining something difficult to understand,slow down to make sure they can understand what you're saying.
(1)What is confident body language according to the passage?
(2)What are the benefits of practicing confident body language?
(3)When do we need to slow down while talking?
(4)What will you do to project confidence with your body language?And why? (List at least two reasons)

15.(6分)A carpenter was ready to end his career.He told his boss that he would miss his work,but he felt it was time to spend his time with the people who were important to him.
His boss was sad about this news,as this carpenter had been a good worker for many years.He asked the carpenter if he could help him and build just one more house.The carpenter agreed,even though he was kind of tired with his work.
While he was building this last house,his work was not as excellent as before.He used inexpensive and low﹣quality materials and cut corners wherever he could.
When the carpenter finished the work,his boss came to look at the house.He gave the key to the carpenter and said, "This house is my gift to you for all of the hard work you have done for me over the years." The carpenter was shocked.
What a valuable gift!But if he had known he was building a house for himself,he would have tried his best to create a high﹣quality home.
The same happens to how you build your life.Every day offers a chance for you to put your best foot forward,yet we often do average work,saving the more important things for "another" day.Then one day,we find ourselves shocked that our lives aren't what we had hoped they would be.The "house" we built to live in is not as good as we expected.
However,you can't go back and rebuild it in a day or two.As people say, "Life is a do﹣it﹣yourself project." Your thought and choices help build the life you will live tomorrow.So,build carefully.

【解答】(1)细节理解题。根据第四段The carpenter was shocked.(这个木匠很吃惊。)可知,在老板给他钥匙之后它很吃惊。故选C。

16.(6分)In recent years,there have been increasing calls for artificial intelligence (AI) to take the place of human intelligence in a large number of tasks.The argument goes that,because AI can now do better than humans in many understandable tasks,it is only a matter of time before AI wins human intelligence as a whole.This opinion has been popular with a number of leading AI researchers.
Ray Kurzweil,a well﹣known researcher,has predicted that AI will reach human﹣level intelligence by 2029.The idea that AI could one day take the place of human intelligence is both exciting and scary.On the one hand,the possibilities for AI to solve many of the world's most urgent problems are huge.On the other hand,the future of machines becoming smarter than humans is also one of the most feared effects of AI development.
If AI systems become more intelligent than humans,they could possibly solve many of the world's most urgent problems.This is because AI would be able to deal with large amounts of information and find solutions that humans could never find.For example,AI could be used to solve problems such as climate change,hunger,and disease.AI could also be used to improve transportation and communication.
However,one of the main arguments against AI taking the place of human intelligence is that AI systems still have a long way to go.This is especially clear when you compare AI to human intelligence as a whole.This is because human intelligence is more than just the ability to perform thinking tasks.Human intelligence also includes the ability of feelings,social skills,and physical activities.AI systems are still a long way to go from being able to replicate all of these aspects of human intelligence.For example,AI has difficulty processing and dealing with emotions,which is an important part of human communication and interaction.Additionally,AI cannot replicate the creativity and imagination that humans have,as it is limited by the data it has been programmed with.
So,should we be worried that AI will one day take the place of human intelligence?It's hard to say for sure.There are arguments for and against the idea,and it's impossible to know what will happen in the future.Clearly,they are only going to become more intelligent in the future,which is likely to have a major influence on our lives.However,what we can do is deal with the facts and make a sound decision.
(1)What can we learn about AI from this passage? C
A.AI system is fully developed and used in the world.
B.AI can do better than humans in understandable tasks.
C.AI can solve climate change,hunger,and disease now.
D.AI system includes the ability of feelings and social skills.
(2)The underlined word "replicate" in paragraph 4 probably means D .
A.record
B.receive
C.cause
D.copy
(3)The writer probably agrees that C .
A.AI system can be more intelligent without bad effects.
B.people will be excited to have AI solve their problems.
C.people think AI may have a major influence on our lives.
D.AI will fully take the place of human intelligence by 2029.
【分析】文章主要讨论了人工智能(AI)是否能取代人类智能的问题。一方面,AI的发展有可能解决世界上许多紧迫的问题,如气候变化、饥饿和疾病等。另一方面,AI还有很长的路要走,因为人类智能不仅包括思考任务的能力,还包括情感、社交技巧和身体活动等方面,而AI在这些方面还有待提高。因此,尽管AI的发展可能对我们的生活产生重大影响,但是否应该担心AI会取代人类智能,目前还难以确定。
【解答】(1)细节理解题。根据第三段This is because AI would be able to deal with large amounts of information and find solutions that humans could never find.For example,AI could be used to solve problems such as climate change,hunger,and disease.AI could also be used to improve transportation and communication.(这是因为人工智能将能够处理大量信息,并找到人类永远找不到的解决方案。例如,人工智能可以用来解决气候变化、饥饿和疾病等问题。人工智能还可以用于改善交通和通信。)可知人工智能现在可以解决气候变化、饥饿和疾病。故选C。
(2)词义猜测题。根据第四段.AI systems are still a long way to go from being able to replicate all of these aspects of human intelligence.(人工智能系统距离能够......人类智能的所有这些方面还有很长的路要走。)可知人工智能系统距离能够复制人类智能的所有这些方面还有很长的路要走。"replicate"应是为"复制"。故选D。
(3)细节理解题。根据最后一段Clearly,they are only going to become more intelligent in the future,which is likely to have a major influence on our lives.However,what we can do is deal with the facts and make a sound decision.(显然,他们在未来只会变得更加聪明,这可能会对我们的生活产生重大影响。然而,我们所能做的是处理事实并做出合理的决定。)可知作者会同意"人们认为人工智能可能对我们的生活产生重大影响。"故选C。

Dealing With Boredom Or Not?
Boredom has been connected to human action including inattentive walking,purposeless driving and so on.In fact,many of us would choose pain instead of boredom.To study the phenomenon (现象),a group asked volunteers to watch boring,sad,or indifferent films,during which they could decide to hit themselves.The volunteers who watched boring films hit themselves more and harder than the volunteers who watched the sad or indifferent films did.
But boredom isn't all bad.Studies point to how boredom is good for creativity,as well as mind health.It is found that people are more creative following the completion of a boring task.When people are bored,they have an increase in "associative thought"—the process (过程) of making new connections between ideas,which is connected to creative thinking.
These studies are impressive and meaningful,but in reality,the benefits of boredom may be connected to having time to clear your mind,be quiet,or daydream.In the modern world,it seems unrealistic that boredom could happen at all.Yet,there are certain reasons why boredom may feel so painful.As it turns out,boredom might mean that you have a need that isn't being met.
Our always﹣on world of social media may result in more connections,but they are superficial (肤浅,表象) and can get in the way of building a real sense of togetherness.Feeling bored may mean the wish for a greater sense of community and the feeling that you fit in with others around you.So take the step of joining an organization to build face﹣to﹣face relationships.You'll find depth that you won't get from your screen no matter how many likes you get on your online post.
Similar to the need for togetherness,bored people often report that they feel a limited sense of meaning.It's a basic human need to have a larger purpose and to feel like we're part of something bigger than ourselves.When people are bored,they're more likely to feel less meaningful in their lives.If you want to lower boredom and increase your sense of meaning,find a work where you can complete a special task successfully,or find a cause you can support with your time and talent.
If you think that boredom is being quiet,mindful,and helpful for thinking,keep it up.But if you're dealing with real boredom and the emptiness it causes,consider whether you might find new connections and more meaningful tasks.These are the things that will really lower boredom and make you happier.
(1)What can we know about boredom from paragraph 2? B
A.It is a result of doing boring tasks.
B.It's a benefit for creative thinking.
C.It helps people connect with others.
D.It does harm to one's mind health.
(2)What does the writer think boredom can be? A
A.A need to be fulfilled.
B.A feeling to be sure.
C.A process to be completed.
D.A wish to be left alone.
(3)According to the writer,which one is TRUE? C
A.Boredom is so painful that we should try to avoid it.
B.Social media is helpful to build deep connections.
C.Creative thinking is sometimes connected with boredom.
D.People who feel bored usually try to avoid communicating.
(4)What does the writer suggest people do to lower boredom? D
A.Participate in more online discussions.
B.Count the likes they get on their posts.
C.Manage to meet all their basic needs.
D.Take part in real﹣life communication.

(2)推理判断题。根据最后一段If you think that boredom is being quiet,mindful,and helpful for thinking,keep it up.But if you're dealing with real boredom and the emptiness it causes,consider whether you might find new connections and more meaningful tasks.These are the things that will really lower boredom and make you happier.(如果你认为无聊是安静、专注和有助于思考,那就坚持下去。但是,如果你正在处理真正的无聊及其造成的空虚,考虑一下你是否会找到新的联系和更有意义的任务。这些东西会真正降低无聊感,让你更快乐。)可知,作者认为无聊是需要满足。故选A。
(3)细节理解题。根据第二段When people are bored,they have an increase in "associative thought"—the process (过程) of making new connections between ideas,which is connected to creative thinking.(当人们感到无聊时,他们会增加"联想思维"——在想法之间建立新联系的过程,这与创造性思维有关。)可知,创造性思维有时与无聊联系在一起是正确的。故选C。
(4)细节理解题。根据第五段If you want to lower boredom and increase your sense of meaning,find a work where you can complete a special task successfully,or find a cause you can support with your time and talent.(如果你想降低无聊感,增加意义感,就找一份能成功完成特殊任务的工作,或者找一份你能用时间和天赋支持的事业。)可知,作者建议人们参与现实生活中的交流来降低无聊感。故选D。

Ways To Show More Confident Body Language
Confident body language is a way to show self﹣assurance and lack of fear in a situation without using words.By using nonverbal communication and movements,people can show their confidence in both personal and working settings.Body language is made up by the following parts:hand gestures,facial expressions,tone of voice,body movements and touch.
Practicing confident body language can help improve your confidence by making you pay more attention to your actions and the influence they have on others.Another benefit includes improving your relationships and helping others make better judgments about you.Here are some ways to project confidence with your body language:
①Give your full attention
Give the person who you're speaking to your full attention,a sure sign that you're listening to them.When practicing giving your full attention,consider looking at a point near their eyes or their eyebrows until you feel more comfortable.
②Be mindful of your hands
Make sure your hands can be seen.Keep them away from your pockets.Hand gestures can also help make your ideas clearer if you can use them properly.One way to help keep you from touching your face is to keep your hands on your leg.
③Give a confident handshake
A confident handshake is one way to create an excellent first impression with people you're meeting.When offering your hand,hold the other person's hand tightly to show your confidence.Remember to move your hands in the air a few times before you finish the handshake.
④Pay attention to your facial expression
Since facial expressions can show what you're thinking,it's important to keep confident facial expressions when meeting with others.Remember to smile to show you're enjoying the situation and feel comfortable.Also,pay attention to how your face usually rests,and be mindful about creating a positive facial expression.
⑤Pay attention to the speed of your conversation
When talking,consider how fast you speak and the number of words you use per minute.For everyday discussions,speed up to help keep your listener listening.However,when explaining something difficult to understand,slow down to make sure they can understand what you're saying.
