26、   If you’ve been in public in the past year or so, chances are you’ve noticed someone breaking dining etiquette(礼仪) that would seem second-nature to any adult. Why does our dining etiquette seem to be at an all-time low right now.

“Overall, there is much less feeling about the common good, which means caring about your neighbor---whether at home or in a restaurant,” said Steven, who writes articles for USA Today.

Take the use of cellphone at the table for example. While a 2015 survey by the Pew Research Center found that 38 percent of those surveyed thought it was acceptable to use their phones while dining out, the increasing number of cellphone bans in restaurant shows that restaurants aren’t putting up with it.

However, some look on the growing use of cellphones as a sign that manners change alongside our society.

“Manners change,” said the writer behind a food site The Takeout. “What we consider improper isn’t set in stone.” She points out the other “rules” that have since become outdated nowadays, like saying “Sir” and “Ma’am,” as proof of this change.

Yes, traditional manners are yet another thing being redefined by youth. “Younger people are growing up in a world with more flexible rules, and this spreads to the dining table,” said Daniel Levine, director of global trends consultancy The Avant-Guide Institute.

Whether you prefer high-end restaurants or a fast-casual meal, the biggest reason behind the decline of manners may just be a numbers game.

“I believe it is more likely for people to break dining ‘rules’ because they go out and eat more often,” said Diane Gottsman, owner of The Protocol School of Texas. “Years ago, people stayed home and sat around the family table. Today, there are more people in the workforce, which makes it more affordable for socializing and eating out. With new chance comes the possibility for more dining problems.”

【1】What did the 2015 survey find?

A. Many people accepted using phones at the table.

B. Cellphones were banned in more and more restaurants.

C. Most of the surveyed people used phones while eating out.

D. Few restaurants took positions on using phones while eating.

【2】Why was the example of “Sir” and “Ma’am” mentioned?

A. To show modern people are becoming impolite.

B. To explain dining rules in high-end restaurants.

C. To prove dining etiquette changes through time.

D. To argue young people are making dining rules today.

【3】According to Diane Gottsman, people forget their dining manners more often because_________.

A. they think they are unimportant.

B. they grew up with flexible rules.

C. they have more chances to eat out.

D. they must hurry meals to get back to work.

【4】What’s the author’s purpose in writing this text?

A. To introduce changes in dining manners.

B. To encourage people to have dining manners.

C. To report survey findings on dining manners.

D. To discuss the reasons for poor dining manners.

27、It’s the perfect time of year to curl up with a great new book—so be sure to add these climate must-reads to your list.

THE UNINHABITABLE EARTH: LIFE AFTER WARMING

THE SIXTH EXTINCTION: AN UNNATURAL HISTORY

By Elizabeth Kolbert

Teenage climate activist Greta Thunberg called out world leaders for their inaction, saying, “People are suffering. People are dying. Entire ecosystems are collapsing. We are in the beginning of a mass extinction.”

Elizabeth Kolbert might say, “Exactly." As she details, the Earth has seen five landmark events in the distant past that wiped out most plant and animal life. But today, we’re witnessing a new phenomenon known to scientists as the “sixth extinction." Unlike the previous five, this one is not a natural event. It’s human-made. And it' s happening right now.

28、   Within many workers' lifetimes, jobs will be completely changed by automation(自动化).A recent employment report from the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development(OECD), a union consisting of 36 countries across the world, said that within the next two decades half of all jobs will be greatly transformed by technology.

In some cases, that will mean workers losing their jobs completely-the OECD estimates 14 percent of jobs will be completely automated in the next two decades,while others, 32 percent of jobs, will be greatly different from what they look like now.

Whether jobs are transformed or lost completely to the advance of technology, the OECD says one question rises above all others: are we ready? The OECD Employment Outlook does not predict a jobless future.But it does foresee major challenges for the future of work, said the OECD Secretary-General Angel Gurria, in a statement.

While many jobs will be changed or disappear, the OECD says that the change won't necessarily mean fewer jobs for workers.New and skilled jobs also come with new and improved technology.Automation may even create jobs in the short term, say some analysts.The problem is ensuring that current workers are equipped to transition into those jobs now and in the future.

To ensure that workers replaced by robots and other technology can get into a new career, the OECD says that a strong adult training program is necessary.That may involve not only training older workers but also removing the financial burdens of their efforts through subsidies(补贴).

Even with a rapidly changing economy and the development of technology, all we need is a plan."With the right policies, we can manage these challenges.We face significant transformation, but we have the opportunity and the determination to use this moment and build a future of work that benefits everyone, "said Gurria.

【1】What is the OECD concerned most?

A. If jobs are lost. B. If jobs are changed.

C. If people are prepared. D. If enough jobs are offered.

【2】What's the most probable result of automation?

A. Fewer jobs. B. A jobless future.

C. More skilled workers. D. Transformation of most jobs.

【3】Which is NOT suggested to deal with automation?

A. More new jobs. B. Right policies.

C. Training programs. D. Reduced financial burdens.

【4】What's Gurria's attitude towards automation?

A. Positive. B. Negative.

C. Doubtful. D. Worried

29、   Adolescent girls seem to use eye rolls as a means of daily communication. Adults on the receiving end often think it a rude manner. Actually, the meanings behind the manner tell us a lot about what it’s like to be a teenager.

Adolescents usually hate being told what to do, and will unconsciously resist even suggestions with which they agree. Imagine a girl who is planning to put on her warmest coat when her well-meaning mother urges her to bundle up. Not a cell in her body is willing to respond with a sincere “Great idea, Mom! I was just thinking the same thing.” But the girl still wants to be warm. With an eye roll the girl advertises her resistance while doing as she intended all along.

Since teenage girls desire independence strongly, taking orders can be especially annoying for them. So how should Mary respond when her parents say she can’t go out until she unloads the dishwasher? She sees no point in fighting back, but still wants to broadcast her objection. Again, by rolling her eyes while putting away the plates, Mary proves that she’s an independent young woman.

Girls also roll their eyes to cover their sorrow. Anna, who is hurting over a fight with a friend, might shoot a skyward look when her dad asks gently, “How’s Julia? She hasn’t come over for a while?” What seems to be a rude behavior might actually be the girl’s brave attempt to hold herself together. Unwilling to rely on her parents for support, Anna turns her dad away with an eye roll to avoid bursting into tears in his presence.

Of course, girls occasionally use eye-rolling as an immature act of aggression. But more often than not, teenage eye-rolling serves as an efficient solution to the typical challenges adolescents face. And it presents adults with a choice: you can take the. behavior personally, or you can try to see things from their perspective.

【1】What does the underlined phrase “bundle up” in Paragraph 2 mean?

A.Tie up. B.Hurry up.

C.Put on warm clothes. D.Keep cool.

【2】What is Mary’s reaction to her parents’ demand in Paragraph 3?

A.She doesn’t obey the order.

B.She displays her annoyance anyway.

C.She fights back against her parents strongly.

D.She proves her independence by putting away the dishes.

【3】When Dad inquires about her friend softly, Anna.

A.refuses his kindness. B.bursts into tears

C.relies on him for support D.looks at the sky all the time

【4】What is the best title for the passage?

A.What’s Behind Eye Rolling? B.What Does It Mean to Be a teenager?

C.How to Understand More About Girls? D.Why Do Teenage Girls Roll Their Eyes?

30、   There was once a wonderful old man who loved everything animals, spiders, insects and all sorts of living things.

35、Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

AI artwork sells for $432,500 — nearly 45 times its high【1】 — as Christie’s becomes the first auction house to offer a work of art created by an algorithm. This portrait, however, is not the product of a human mind. It was created by an【2】 intelligence, an algorithm defined by that algebraic formula with its many parentheses. And when it went under the【3】 in the Prints & Multiples sale at Christie’s on 23-25 October, Portrait of Edmond Belamy sold for an【4】 $432,500, signaling the arrival of AI art on the world auction stage.

From a distance, Portrait of Edmond de Belamy looks almost plausible. Up close, however, the paintwork becomes a grid of mechanical-looking dots, the man’s face a golden blur with black holes for eyes. Look into those eyes. They show no sign of feeling or life. Did a computer make this?

The answer is yes. The first artwork【5】 by AI to be sold at Christie’s, its【6】 price would seem to suggest that in future we will get computers to make art for us. Robot van Gogh will harmlessly cut its ear off and robot Picasso will be a genius.

Is this the future AI art visionaries such as the French collective Obvious, which programmed this “painter” by getting it to compare its own work with 15,000 pre-20th century portraits, have in mind? Or are they just, God forbid, making a fast buck from deceivable art collectors? Because believing the algorithm that knocked this up to be in any meaningful way an “artist” is like thinking your voice-interaction programme is out to get you. Dream on. Computers would need to replicate human consciousness before they could replicate the funny thing humans do called “art”.

Art is a way in which human 【7】 expresses itself, and is equally true of the earliest cave art, Rembrandt’s portraits and Duchamp’s urinal. And that is what is missing from Portrait of Edmond Bellamy. Art is a way humans communicate ideas, perceptions and feelings to each other. It has no 【8】 outside the human passion to communicate. So in what meaningful sense can an AI replica of certain【9】 traits of old master paintings be called art?

For a robot to really make art, it would need an autonomous mind that was emotional as well as【10】. No AI developer has yet claimed to be anywhere near achieving that and if they ever do, their creation will probably have better things to do than paint portraits — like destroy humanity.

Maybe afterwards robots will invent their own kind of art, but it won’t be some poor pastiche of human genius.

It will be beyond anything we organics could imagine.

36、Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

On a broiling afternoon when the men were away at work and all the women napped, I moved through majestic depths of silences, silences so immense I could hear the corn 【1】. Under these silences there was a / an orchestra of natural music playing notes no city child would ever hear. A certain cackle from the henhouse meant we had gained an egg. The creak of a porch swing told of a momentary breeze blowing across my grandmother’s yard. As I 【2】 along a mossy bank to surprise a frog, a 【3】splash told me the quarry had spotted me and slipped into the stream. Wandering among the sleeping houses, I learned that tin roofs crackle under the power of the sun, and when I tired and came back to my grandmother’s house, I padded into her dark cool living room, lay 【4】 on the floor, and listened to the hypnotic beat of her pendulum clock on the wall ticking the meaningless hours away.

I was enjoying the luxuries of a rustic nineteenth-century boyhood, but for the women Morrisonville life had few 【5】. Their lives were hard, endless, dirty labor.

For baths, laundry, and dishwashing, they hauled buckets of water from a spring at the foot of a hill. To heat it, they chopped kindling to fire their wood stoves. They boiled laundry in tubs, scrubbed it on washboards until knuckles were 【6】, and wrung it out by hand. Ironing was a business of lifting heavy metal weights heated on the stove top.

As well as going to the movies and football matches with my friends. I spend a lot of time looking after my pets【6】(proper) but I find it worthwhile.

In many ways my disability has helped me grow stronger psychologically and become more【7】 (independence). I have to work hard to live a normal life but it has been worth it. If【8】(have) a chance to say one thing to healthy children, it would be this: having a disability does not mean your life is not satisfying.
