This sounds simple, and you may think it's a no-brainer, but take some time to think on it further.‎ ‎ I said INVEST. I did not say GIVE. Let me explain.‎ ‎ Purely giving material things to your siblings（兄弟姐妹）may appear to be the right decision. So you buy them a car, a big house, and pay all of their bills. You want them to live a beautiful, comfortable life, right?‎ ‎ But the day will come when you realize that as much as you believed you were doing the right thing, you were actually holding them back.‎ ‎ You will come to understand that you were taking care of them because it made YOU feel good, it made You happy to see them smiling and without a care in the world—and that was extremely selfish of you. While you were feeling satisfied with yourself, you were slowly eating away at their own dreams and ambitions. You were adding material things to their lives, but subtracting the most precious gifts of all.‎ ‎ Invest in their future, don't just give.‎ ‎ Use your success, wealth and influence to put them in the best position to realize their own dreams and find their true purpose. Put them through school, set them up with job interviews and help them become leaders in their own right. Hold them to the same level of hard work and dedication that it took for you to get to where you are now, and where you will eventually go.‎ ‎ I'm writing you now so that you can begin this process immediately, and so that you don't have to deal with the hurt and struggle of weaning (断绝) them off the addiction that you facilitated. That addiction only leads to anger, hatred and jealousy from everybody ‎ ‎·17·‎ involved, including yourself.‎ ‎ As time goes on, you will see them grow independently and have their own ambitions and their own lives, and your relationship with all of them will be much better as a result.‎ ‎ Trust me, setting things up right from the beginning will avoid a ton of tears and headache, some of which remains to this day.‎ ‎ Much love,‎ ‎ Kobe ‎21．What might be the best title of this letter?‎ ‎ A．To My Younger Self B．For My Dear Family ‎ C．To My Beloved Son D．For My Older Self ‎22．What may be "the most precious gifts of all" in Paragraph 5?‎ ‎ A．Independence and growth. B．Wealth and health.‎ ‎ C．Love and dedication. D．Success and leadership.‎ ‎23．What can we infer from this letter?‎ ‎ A．The writer will stop offering his siblings help in the future.‎ ‎ B．The writer didn't think it a good fortune to become successful early.‎ ‎ C．The writer intends to remind others not to care too much about materials.‎ ‎ D．The writer was once troubled by the relationship between him and his family.‎ B ‎ Every day around the world, thousands of people with little or no scholarly training in art history walk into museums. They may or may not read notice boards that share relevant information of the artworks or artists. Imagine, before being permitted to direct their eyeballs to the art on the walls, museum visitors were required to read a 15- or 20-page introduction to each piece or each artist. How many people would go to museums if that were the case?‎ ‎ Yet this seems to be the expectation when it comes to reading classic literature. Classic ‎ ‎·17·‎ novels typically come with 15-or20-page introductions, which often include spoilers, assuming that readers do not come to classic books to discover, be absorbed in, and be surprised by the story world. Also, apparently, we mustn't read classics alone, without experts guiding our experiences.‎ ‎ However, classic literature is in a unique position to show us that we're not alone in our pains and joys. By taking us out of our time, classic books free us to see beyond the set of beliefs we stick to and to connect human experiences that remain alive across time and place. What could be more grounding, more comforting, than seeing ourselves in the .battles, longings, and pleasures that have played out .across hundreds, thousands of years of human history? Our personal engagement is the first step of a longer journey of discovery that deepens our knowledge and understanding of ourselves and our world. We may, for example, feel for Hester Prynne from Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter though we despair of the world she lived in. ‎ ‎ While we're letting go of things, let's stop worrying about understanding everything. We can't. It will be fun if we embrace curiosity, the pleasure of working out a mystery, and our common relationships as humans. We can feel, for example, the power of self-sacrifice in Charles Dickens' A Tale of Two Cities even when we lack full understanding of the cultural references and language.‎ ‎24．Most museum goers . ‎ ‎ A．enjoy reading notice boards ‎ B．understand the artworks well ‎ C．lack professional art knowledge ‎ ‎ D．share common interest in artworks ‎ ‎25．What can the "spoilers" in Paragraph 2 possibly be?‎ ‎ A．Story writers.‎ ‎ B．Readers' expectations.‎ ‎ C．Guiding experts.‎ ‎ D．Plots given away in advance.‎ ‎·17·‎ ‎26．What prevents readers enjoying reading classics? ‎ ‎ A．Showing curiosity about the writers.‎ ‎ B．Letting go of things.‎ ‎ C．Trying to understand everything.‎ ‎ D．Working out mysteries.‎ ‎27．What message is mainly conveyed in the passage?‎ ‎ A．We should find more fun from classics.‎ ‎ B．Reading classics is a personal exploration.‎ ‎ C．Experts need to give readers better guidance.‎ ‎ D．Classic literature benefits readers a great deal. ‎ C ‎ Most kids grow up learning they cannot draw on the walls. But it might be time to forget that training-this summer, a group of culture addicts, artists and community organizers are inviting New Yorkers to write all over the walls of an old house on Governor's Island.‎ ‎ The project is called Writing On It All, and it's a participatory writing project and artistic experiment that has happened on Governor's Island every summer since 2013.‎ ‎ "Most of the participants are people who are just walking by or are on the island for other reasons, or they just kind of happen to be there," Alexandra Chasin, artistic director of Writing On It All, tells Smithsonian. com.‎ ‎ The 2019 season runs through June 26 and features sessions assisted by everyone from dancers to domestic workers. Each session has a theme and participants are given a variety of materials and prompts(提示) and asked to cover surfaces with their thoughts and art. This year, the programs range from one that turns the house into a cooperative essay to one that explores the meaning of exile(流亡).‎ ‎ Governor's Island is a national historic landmark district long used for military purposes. Now known as "New Yorker's shared space for art and play", the island, which lies between Manhattan and Brooklyn in Upper New York Bay, is closed to cars but open to summer ‎ ‎·17·‎ tourists who flock for festivals, picnics, adventures as well as these "legal graffiti(涂鸦)" sessions.‎ ‎ The notes and art scribbled on the walls are an experiment in self-expression. So far, participants have ranged in age from 2 t0 85. Though Chasin says the focus of the work is on the activity of writing, rather than the text that ends up getting written, some of the work that comes out of the sessions has stuck with her.‎ ‎ “One of the sessions that moved me the most was state violence on black women and black girls," says Chasin, explaining that in one room, people wrote down the names of those killed because of it. "People do beautiful work and leave beautiful messages."‎ ‎28．What does the project Writing On It All invite people to do?‎ ‎ A．Forget their training in drawing.‎ ‎ B．Participate in a state graffiti show.‎ ‎ C．Cover the walls of an old house with graffiti.‎ ‎ D．Exhibit their artistic creations in an old house.‎ ‎29．What do we learn about the participants in the project?‎ ‎ A．They are just culture addicts.‎ ‎ B．They are graffiti enthusiasts.‎ ‎ C．They are writers and artists.‎ ‎ D．They are mostly passers-by.‎ ‎30．What did the project participants do during the 2019 season?‎ ‎ A．They were free to scribble on the walls whatever came to their mind.‎ ‎ B．They expressed their thoughts in graffiti on the theme of each session.‎ ‎ C．They learned the techniques of cooperative writing.‎ ‎ D．They were required to work together with other creators.‎ ‎31．What kind of place is Governor's Island?‎ ‎ A．It is a historic site that attracts tourists and artists.‎ ‎ B．It is an area now accessible only to tourist vehicles.‎ ‎ C. It is a place in Upper New York Bay formerly used for exiles.‎ ‎·17·‎ ‎ D. It is an open area for tourists to enjoy themselves year round.‎ D ‎ Claude Monet, Pablo Picasso and Leonardo da Vinci... the art world has never lacked talent. And now, a new painter is ready to join the list, although this one isn't even human.‎ ‎ Next month, the auction house Christie's Prints and Multiples will make history by offering the first piece of art created by artificial intelligence (AI) for sale. The painting is a portrait of a man called Edmond De Belamy, and is expected to be sold for up to $ 10,000.‎ ‎ The work, which features a man with a mysterious look on his face, was created by software developed by the French art group Obvious. Laugero-Lasserre, an art collector, called the work "grotesque and amazing at the same time". This isn't the first example of AI-produced artwork, as AI has already been used to write poems and compose songs. However, many people doubt whether it should be called art at all.‎ ‎ According to Russian writer Leo Tolstoy (1828-1910) , art is about creating emotion(情感). It's "a means of... joining people together in the same feelings," he once said.‎ ‎ So, if the emotion behind art is what makes it, the ability to create and use tools is what makes human beings different from other species. And as a tool itself, the AI technology used to create the portrait is the result of a lot of effort made by several designers. Together, they "fed" the AI a huge collection of paintings from the 14th to the 18th centuries, until it was able to work out how to make similar paintings of its own,‎ ‎ The introduction of AI art could be the beginning of a new artistic movement. However, not everyone is ready to welcome these high-tech artists just yet.‎ ‎ "The human mind is what's behind the AI technology. And the human mind is not a cold, hard fact," said Oscar Schwartz, a professor of AI. "Rather, it is something that's created with our opinions and something that changes over time. "‎ ‎32．Why does the author mention the artists in Paragraph l?‎ ‎ A．To introduce their works. B．To make an advertisement.‎ ‎ C．To present a piece of news. D．To focus the topic on AI.‎ ‎·17·‎ ‎33．What does the underlined word "grotesque" in Paragraph 3 mean?‎ ‎ A．Strange. B．Simple. C．Messy. D．Understandable.‎ ‎34．What can we learn about the AI-produced artwork according to Paragraph 5?‎ ‎ A．It comes from human works.‎ ‎ B．It shows the human ability to create. ‎ ‎ C．It expresses human feelings effectively.‎ ‎ D．It is beyond the imagination of humans.‎ ‎35．Oscar Schwartz thinks the human mind is compared with AI?‎ ‎ A．limited B．decisive C．useless D．meaningful 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ ‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ ‎ It is sometimes thought that the longing for material goods, the need to buy things, is a relatively modern invention. 36 Trade or shopping is certainly an ancient desire, and existed before our ancestors invented writing, laws, cities or farming, even before they used metal to make tools.‎ ‎ Humans are born to trade. 37 Evidence from hunter-gatherers suggests that the exchange of food and other necessary things comes naturally, as well as the ability to keep a record of the credits involved. And once trade begins, the benefits are hard to resist.‎ ‎ Ancient local coastal people in northern Australia traded fish hooks, along a chain of trading partners, with people living 400 miles inland, who cut and polished local stone to make axes（斧子）. 38 Finally, both groups of "producers", by concentrating on things they could produce and exchanging them for other things they needed, benefited as a result.‎ ‎ Trade in the necessities of life, such as food and simple tools, is not really surprising, considering the link between these basic items and survival. What is surprising, though, is that our taste for unnecessary expensive objects also goes back a long way.‎ ‎ In South Africa, 100,000-year-old decorative dyes（染料）have been found in an area where none were produced. 39 Small round pieces of glass 76,000 years old were also ‎ ‎·17·‎ found at the same place. The earliest jewellery known to us was not just random findings-they were grouped together in size and had holes like those used for threading onto a necklace.‎ ‎ Archaeologists argue that trade prepared the way for the complex societies in which we live today. 40 However, their modern equivalents-fast cars and expensive clothes-hold the same attract1010n for us as "trade goods" did for people 100,000 years ago.‎ ‎ A．And we don't need shops or money to do it.‎ ‎ B．These are powerful evidence for cash purchase.‎ ‎ C．In fact, its roots go back to the beginning of humanity.‎ ‎ D．However, the first trade began from the exchange of objects.‎ ‎ E．Modern-day shoppers may not be impressed by ancient glass pieces.‎ ‎ F．It is thought that these goods were bought at least 30 kilometres away.‎ ‎ G．Every individual along the chain made a profit, even if he produced neither himself.‎ 第三部分 语言知识运用（共三节，满分45分）‎ 第一节 （共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ ‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最 佳选项。‎ ‎ After Aida's parents fled war-torn Bosnia（波斯尼亚）for Sweden in the early 1990s, they put their five-year-old daughter in a school full of native Swedes and made sure she studied hard to get ahead. It 41 . Today she is Sweden's minister for upper secondary education. Like her fellows across Europe, she faces a new 42 ——making sure that a fresh wave of refugee（难民）children can integrate（融入）as successfully as she did.‎ ‎ In the countries accepting the most refugees-Sweden and Germany-lack of 43 is not a problem. Before the migrants（移民）poured in, both countries faced 44 numbers of pupils because of low birth rates.‎ ‎ The biggest problem for the education 45 is that refugee children tend to be ‎ ‎·17·‎ concentrated together. Many 4 6 schools near refugee centers or in immigrant neighborhoods. This means they are partially separated and less 47 to learn the local language.‎ ‎ Moreover, immigrants 48 find housing in poor areas with lower education standard. Schools where more than a quarter of students are immigrants usually 49 worse than those with no immigrants. From 2008 to 2018 Sweden's 50 in the OECD's Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) fell more than 5 1 country's.‎ ‎ In contrast, the German system has its 52 . In some German states, school days are being 53 ,and the 54 has made a big investment（投资）in preschool education. In Sweden, older refugees are being trained as teaching 55 to speed integration. But far more could be done.‎ ‎ Most importantly, European governments need to treat refugee children as a(n) 56 rather than a problem. 57 by a desperate desire for a better life, they and their parents tend to be hard-working and 58 .
