26、   They say that picture is worth a thousand words, but the briefest look at books and the movies based on them would have anyone questioning this common saying. All too often, great words end up being turned into cinematic “turkeys”.

Good movies need good stories. If so, why has one of the earliest and greatest works in Western storytelling, Homer’s The Odyssey, never had an equally great movie based on it? Movies need strong characters. So why have the movies based on The Great Gatsby never been praised as “great”? Movies of course need impressive images, so why has Alice in Wonderland only resulted in movies best described as “interesting”?

One of the key reasons behind this is that while a book usually takes a few days to read, a movie typically lasts under two hours. This means that great books can lose plot details and characters when they move to the big screen. This is something that even the highly successful Harry Potter movies can’t escape from, with fans of the books disappointed not to see some of their favorite characters in the movie versions.

Movies also disappoint us when things don’t look the way we imagined them in the books. Take, for example, the epic movie Troy, which is in part based on Homer’s The Iliad and was met with mixed reviews from the audience. The most questionable issue was the actress chosen to play the part of Helen. Many people thought she didn’t live up to Helen's title of “the most beautiful woman in the world”, influencing opinions of the movie to some extent.

There are a thousand Hamlets in a thousand people’s eyes. Furthermore, books and movies are two different forms of media and therefore have different rules. With this in mind, perhaps we should judge a movie in its own right, and not against its original source. Interestingly, audiences have in recent years turned to television series such as Sherlock or Mad Men, which can have many characters and gradual plot development. Perhaps, one day, readers of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s most admired work will find themselves glued to their screens by episodes of The Great Gatsby.

【1】Which of the following statements about the movie adaptation is true?

A.The characters in The Odyssey do not stand out.

B.The movie Troy doesn't look the way we visualized while reading the book.

C.The visual images are not as striking as the descriptions in the book The Great Gatsby.

D.Some parts of the story and characters are missing in the movie Alice in Wonderland.

【2】One of the reasons why adaptations disappoint the audience is that ________.

A.they lack good storytelling

B.the images are not impressive enough

C.the characters in the movies are not strong and interesting

D.there is not enough time for movies to fully present the whole story

【3】The underlined “ original source” in the last paragraph probably refers to _________.

A.audience B.book

C.characters. D.images

【4】What does the text mainly talk about?

A.Good books may not be adapted for great movies.

B.Reading books is better than watching movies.

C.People are dissatisfied with the current movies.

D.People are expressing their preference to reading books.

27、   In my senior year of high school, Mike and I were lined up in front of a small group of students made up mainly of the leaders of the senior classes. Our teacher said to us," The two of you will never amount to anything."

There was some snickering (窃笑)from some of the seniors as the teacher continued,"From now on,I am not going to waste any more time on either of you. I am only going to spend my time with these class leaders. You two are the class downs with bad grades, and you will never amount to anything. Now get out of here. "

That teacher did Mike and me the biggest favor of all. While what she said was true in many ways and her words hurt us deeply, her words also inspired both of us to work even harder. They carried us through college and into our own businesses.

A few years ago, Mike and I attended our high school reunion.It was nice to visit with people with whom we had spent three years during a period of time when none of us really knew who we were. It was also interesting to see that most of the so-called senior leaders had not become successful in the years after high school.

I tell this story because Mike and I were not academic whiz kids. We were neither financial experts nor athletic stars. For the most part, we were slow-to-average learners and students. In my opinion,we were not as naturally gifted as our fathers. Yet it was our teacher's stinging words and the snickering from our classmates that gave us the strength to move forward, to learn from our mistakes and to keep doing in both good times and bad times.

Just because you didn't do well in school, were not popular, bad in math, or have other reasons to underestimate yourself-none of them count in the long run. They only count if you think they count.

For those who're considering beginning your own financial fast track, you may have some doubts about your abilities. Trust that you have everything you need right now to be successful financially. All it takes to bring out your natural God-given gifts is your desire, determination and a deep faith that you have a genius and a gift that is unique.

【1】What did Mike and I think of the teacher's words?

A.Her stinging words inspired them.

B.Her inspiring words hurt them deeply.

C.Her encouraging words helped them through bad times.

D.Her bitter words discouraged them from working harder.

【2】At the school union,the author found _______

A.their former classmates didn't recognize him

B.it was boring to see their formers classmates

C.most of the class clowns turned out successful

D.most of the senior leaders didn't become successful

【3】The underlined word "whiz" in Paragraph 5 means"

A.know-nothing B.slow

C.stupid D.genius

【4】According to the author,which of the following people can achieve financial success?

A.Those who have faith in themselves

B.Those who did not do well in school

C.Those who have natural God-given gifts

D.Those who are doubtful about their abilities

28、Chinese researchers have developed a robot designed to help doctors treat the new coronavirus and other highly contagious (传染的)diseases.

The machine has a long robotic arm attached to a base with wheels. It can perform some of the same medical examination tasks as doctors. For example, the device can listen to sounds made by patients'hearts and lungs.

Cameras record the robot's activities, which are controlled at a distance so doctors can avoid coming in close contact with infected patients. Doctors and other medical workers can run the machine from a nearby room, or from much farther away.

The robot's main designer is Zheng Gangtie, an engineer and professor at China's Tsinghua University in Beijing. He told Reuters news agency that he got the idea for the machine when the number of cases of the COVID-19 virus was rising quickly in the city of Wuhan.

One of Zheng's friends, head of Bering's Tsinghua Changgung Hospital, told him that one of the biggest problems in dealing with COVID-19 was that healthcare workers treating patients were getting themselves infected. Zheng said he wanted to do something to help this situation.

So the engineer gathered a team and went to work on the robot. Zheng said the team was able to change two robotic arms. The new robot is almost completely automated (自动化的), Zheng said. It can even disinfect itself after performing actions involving patient contact.

"Doctors are all very brave," Zheng told Reuters. "But this virus is just too contagious…We can use robots to perform the most dangerous tasks."

However, Zheng said he had heard from some doctors that it would be better not to build such robots. This is because many patients still desire a personal presence to help calm them during treatment.

The team now has two robots and both have been tested by doctors at hospitals in Beijing. One machine was once taken to Wuhan's Union Hospital, where doctors there were trained to use it.

Zheng would like to build more of the robots, but money from the university has run out, each robot costs about$72,000 to make. He does not plan to commercialize the design, but hopes that a company can begin that process.

【1】What are Paragraph 4 and 5 mainly about?

A．When the robot was designed.

B．How the robot is controlled.

C．Who the robot is intended for.

D．Why the robot was invented.

【2】The underlined word"disinfect"in Paragraph 6 most probably means _____.

A．clean

B．destroy

C．decorate

D．break

【3】What difficulty is Zhang Gangtie faced with?

A．Patients refusing to use the new robot.

B．Healthcare workers getting themselves infected.

C．Being short of money to produce more of the robots.

D．Having no teammates to commercialize the design.

【4】Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?

A．Doctors are Fighting against Coronavirus

B．Coronavirus is Under Control in China

C．Chinese Robot is Invented to Replace Doctors to Cure Diseases

D．Chinese Robot is Designed to Help Doctors Fight Coronavirus

29、Free Theme Parks

No matter what theme park or amusement park you visit，you’re going to have to open your wallet to ride a coaster. For families on a budget，free-admission parks can be great bargains.

Knoebels

Knoebels is one of the few remaining free-admission parks，and one of the largest in the US.Rides are separately priced.Discounted ticket books are available.Knoebels also offers pay-one-price options.With its generous collection of classic spinning rides and dizzying colored lights，Knoebels transports guests to a former time.It also takes special pride in its two popular wooden coasters，Twister and Phoenix. The park offers a campground.

Coney Island

The amusement area includes a number of operators.Admission to the seaside parks and famed boardwalk(木板路)is still free，as is entrance to the public beach. It also offers free parking. A Nathan’s Famous hot dog，however，will cost you.

Coney Island was the most popular in the early 18th century. Along the boardwalk there is a clear sense of Americana(美国文物).

Family Kingdom

The free-admission park offers individual ride tickets as well as unlimited ride passes. The nearby Family Kingdom Water Park，however，requires a separate admission.

Once coastal vacation spots，traditional seaside amusement parks are now an endangered piece of Americana. Family Kingdom is among a few survivors，which is famous for the Swamp Fox wooden coaster.

Waldameer Park

As a classic amusement park that dates back to 1896，Waldameer is one of the few remaining trolley(有轨电车)parks in the US. In the late 1800s and early 1900s，electric trolley companies often built amusement parks at the end of their lines to get additional money. Waldameer is a free-admission，pay-per-ride park，which is rare these days.

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.

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.

41、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

Andrea Lessing is a relatively new employee at Goodwill. Her job is sorting donated stuff. She has been working the job for about a month and a half and is already not surprised by some of the stuff she found.

People donate all kinds of things to Goodwill, and sometimes don’t always remember to empty out their pockets or purses before handing them over. It turns out that they can sometimes accidentally “ donate ” their cash too.

While going through a couple of sweaters, Andrea felt something extra heavy. At first, she thought that it was a pile of books, but then realized it was something more valuable. Wrapped inside the sweaters, she found piles of envelopes filled with $100 bills. All counted up, the money was worth $42,000. And no, the money wasn’t fake either. It was completely real!

Andrea, who’s also a mom, decided to do the right thing and report what she found. Thanks to identifying documents also left with the sweaters, the employees were able to trace the money back to its owner.

Normally, most people donate to Goodwill without leaving their identities. Or they at least try to keep their personal identifying information away from the clothing they donate. But in this instance, along with the forgotten money, the person who donated the sweater also forgot some documents that included their name.

For Andrea, returning the money was a no-brainer. She wants to try her best to put out positive energy. She also says that she was motivated by doing right for her daughter and being the best mom she can be.

Andrea explained, “ I have a daughter. I love her very much, and you can’t put a price on my daughter, and I know what could be risked if stealing that money. I do believe that if you do something good, it will come back to you. ”

注意：

1.续写词数应为150左右；

2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

But Andrea was still rewarded for doing the right thing.

As Andrea was given that reward money, her boss also brought good news to her.
