W: All you can do is try! If it works, you’ll both be happier.

Kull: Exile of Atlantis Paperback Comments: 603 ★★★★★
by Robert E. Howard (Author), Patrice Louinet (Editor, Afterword)
In a career spanning a mere twelve years, Robert E. Howard singlehandedly invented the type called sword and sorcery (巫术). From his fertile imagination sprang some of fiction’s most enduring he-roes. Yet while Conan is undoubtedly Howard’s greatest creation, it was in his earlier series of fiction featuring Kull, a fearless warrior with the intellect of a philosopher, that Howard began to develop the distinctive themes, and the rich blend of history and mythology that would distinguish his later tales.

MENDELEYEV’S DREAM Hardback Comments: 9, 023★★★★★
by Paul Strathern (Author)
Paul Strathern’s terrific book Mendeleyev’s Dream traces that journey all the way back to ancient Greece, when people first started questioning why the world is the way it is. It’s hard to imagine a time before science. Strathern reminds us that people were more focused on questions of religion than on questions of science.
Mendeleyev’s Dream is the best book I’ve ever read on the period-ic table (元素周期表). It helps you understand how it all got pieced together and why it’s so helpful. It’s also a fascinating book at how a new science develops.

Into the Water Audiobook Comments: 9, 600★★★★★
by Paula Hawkins (Author), Laura Aikman (Narrator), Daniel Weyman(Narrator)
Paula Hawkins, the author of the number-one New York Times best seller The Girl on the Train, returns with Into the Water, her addictive new fiction of psychological thriller, delivering a deeply satisfying listen.
A single mother turns up dead in the river that runs through town, where earlier, a vulnerable teenage girl met the same fate. They are not the first women lost to these dark waters, but their deaths disturb the river and its history, digging up secrets long submerged.

21. What can we learn according to the above three books?
A. Robert E. Howard made a hit for his earliest creation Conan.
B. Kull is a start point of Robert E. Howard’s distinctive style.
C. Mendeleyev’s Dream describes how to apply the periodic table.
D. Paul Strathern revealed human’s excessive attention on science.
22. Which of the following must be available via a sound device?
A. Into the Water. B. Kull: Exile of Atlantis.
C. Mendeleyev’s Dream. D. The Girl on the Train.
23. Which column on the website would you recommend the three books to?

B
Andrew runs a car repair workshop in a village in London, where swallows have made their nests on the crossbeams beneath its roof. All day long, they fly in and out, bringing back insects for their hungry chicks, seemingly unconscious of the constant noise and the comings and goings of customers. However, this spring the swallows didn’t arrive back at his workshop until 10 April — the latest they have returned in nearly 40 years. Actually, the average return date has been 8 April, but this year I didn’t see one over my garden in Scottish Highlands until the 25th. Numbers are down, too. While the tide appears to have turned up from last weekend onwards, other familiar species, like house martin (毛脚燕), needle-tailed swift, etc have been very few and far between.
There are two reasons for their late arrival. Unlike many other migrating (迁徙) birds, which fatten themselves up before they depart, these species feed as they travel, replenishing (补充) lost energy by catching flying insects. For that reason, they are especially vulnerable to bad weather. And the weather in southern Europe this spring has been very unpredictable.
The second reason is that, here in Britain these years, although the weather has been mainly dry, there have been persistent easterly and northeasterly winds, which may have also slowed down the birds’ progress as they headed north.
How might this end up affecting these global travellers over the long term? Migrating birds usually live for only one or two years, so they need to get down to raising a family as soon as they return. Swallows, which usually start nesting in early April, may only be able to raise a single hatch this year, rather than two as they do in most years.
I have seen swallows all over the world and discovered just how important they are as a sign of spring: not just in Britain but all the way across the northern hemisphere. Yet I am concerned that rapid changes in the world’s climate pose a real threat to their chances of breeding successfully and their long-term future, even a week or two delays.
Fortunately, warm weather and clear skies have finally come to southern Europe, and the migration floodgates have opened. Earlier last week, down on the Somerset coast, I saw a steady passage of swallows, together with a few house martins, all heading steadily northwards. With warm sunshine and enough rain to produce quantities of insects, the swallows might be able to compensate for their lost time.
24. What can be inferred from the first three paragraphs?
A. Swallows’ migration is always as regular as clockwork.
B. Swallows are attracted by the steady stream of visitors.
C. Swallows love making their nests around human places.
D. Swallows’ lateness for the spring becomes a universal trend.
25. What does the author probably agree with?
A. Unsettled weather affects swallows’ feeding pattern.
B. Abundant food supply makes up for swallows’ lost time.
C. Persistent winds step up swallows’ progress towards south.
D. There is an upward tendency in varieties of migrating birds.
26. If climate problems continue to worsen, what might swallows suffer in the future?
A. A threat to their immune system. B. A decrease in their life span.
C. A decline in their population. D. A slim chance of nesting for chicks.
27. What’s the author’s writing purpose?
A. To raise great concerns about climate change.
B. To introduce migration habits of different birds.
C. To propose ideas for addressing global warming.
D. To call for people to save the endangered species.
【答案】24. D 25. B 26. C 27. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章通过对现象的观察和分析表明气候变化对候鸟产生了巨大影响。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段第三句和第四句“However, this spring the swallows didn’t arrive back at his workshop until 10 April — the latest they have returned in nearly 40 years. Actually, the average return date has been 8 April, but this year I didn’t see one over my garden in Scottish Highlands until the 25th.(然而，今年春天，燕子直到4月10日才回到他的工作室，这是它们近40年来最晚回来的一次。实际上，平均返回日期是4月8日，但今年直到25日，我在苏格兰高地的花园里才看到一只)”，第二段最后两句“For that reason, they are especially vulnerable to bad weather. And the weather in southern Europe this spring has been very unpredictable.(因此，它们特别容易受到恶劣天气的影响。今年春天南欧的天气非常难以预测)”和第三段“The second reason is that, here in Britain these years, although the weather has been mainly dry, there have been persistent easterly and northeasterly winds, which may have also slowed down the birds’ progress as they headed north.(第二个原因是，近年来，在英国，虽然天气主要是干燥的，但一直有持续的东风和东北风，这可能也减慢了鸟类向北飞行的速度)”可知，燕子晚春已成普遍趋势。故选D。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句“With warm sunshine and enough rain to produce quantities of insects, the swallows might be able to compensate for their lost time.(有了温暖的阳光和充足的雨水来繁殖大量的昆虫，燕子也许能够弥补它们失去的时间)”可知，作者可能认同“充足的食物供应弥补了燕子失去的时间”的观点。故选B。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒第二段最后一句“Yet I am concerned that rapid changes in the world’s climate pose a real threat to their chances of breeding successfully and their long-term future, even a week or two delays.(然而，我担心的是，全球气候的快速变化对它们成功繁殖的机会和长期未来构成了真正的威胁，即使是一两周的延迟)”可知，如果气候问题继续恶化，燕子未来可能会数量减少。故选C。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒第二段最后一句“Yet I am concerned that rapid changes in the world’s climate pose a real threat to their chances of breeding successfully and their long-term future, even a week or two delays.(然而，我担心的是，全球气候的快速变化对它们成功繁殖的机会和长期未来构成了真正的威胁，即使是一两周的延迟)”和最后一段第一句“Fortunately, warm weather and clear skies have finally come to southern Europe, and the migration floodgates have opened.(幸运的是，温暖的天气和晴朗的天空终于来到了南欧，迁徙的闸门已经打开)”可知，文章主要关注的是气候变化对候鸟的巨大影响。故选A。
C
Anthill Plastics Group, in Clearwater, Florida, recently welcomed a new team member. On his first day routine he performed the repetitive tasks required of him with flexibility, cooperating comfortably alongside employees. Sawyer is one of the fleet of robots now laboring in the world’s factories. Some earlier industrial robots have been created to displace people. Instead, Sawyer is a collaborative robot, also known as a “co-bot”.
Direct interaction between robots and humans at work is changing the face of manufacturing. Such interaction also means that roboticists need to design effective teammates as well as efficient workers. Co-bots operate in a field where human thoughts, human modes of communication and human safety are paramount (首要的). Rethink Robotics, a firm in Boston, had this in mind when it developed Sawyer, a one-armed co-bot, and his two-armed colleague, Baxter, with cameras and touch sensors. And their most noticeable feature is a screen that displays cartoonlike human facial elements. Such faces are not meant to please workers (though they do). They are, rather, in-tended to promote communication between humans and machines.
Then there is a basic precaution. If the robot detects force topping a safe level, it stops moving instantly, to ensure there is no risk of injury to anyone. Too much of this stop-start can, however, lower efficiency. Researchers of Rethink Robotics have found, by tracking in detail human movements such as the relationship between shoulders and elbows, or the swing of the body, that they can predict where a robot should avoid being next, if it is to avoid human contact.
Rethink Robotics are also looking at safety-in their case by creating robots with softer top layers. Softer materials not only provide greater flexibility for the co-bots when grasping, but also lessen the risk of injury when incidental contact is made between humans and robots. How long, if ever, it will be before such robots truly match the marketing slogan of the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation, a fictional firm in Douglas Adams’s creation, “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy”, remains to be seen. But even if not actually fun to be with, your plastic pal will become increasingly effective.
28. Why was Sawyer invented according to paragraph 1?
A. To work with human workers. B. To deal with the repetitive tasks.
C. To enable workers to work flexibly. D. To replace the longtime employees.
29. What can be inferred from paragraph 2?
A. Baxter is an updated co-bot. B. Robots have cartoonlike human faces.
C. Co-bots are designed for efficient workers. D. Human-centered needs are co-bots’ priority.
30. Which of the following will result in decreasing co-bots’ efficiency?
A Tracking human movements. B. Predicting a lower risk nearby.
C. Constantly stop to avoid potential risks. D. Frequently physical contact with humans.
31. What is the author’s attitude towards co-bots?
A. Tolerant. B. Ambiguous. C. Appreciative. D. Disapproving.
【答案】28. A 29. D 30. C 31. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了机器人Sawyer是一个协作机器人，可以与人合作。介绍了Sawyer的特点以及优缺点。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Instead, Sawyer is a collaborative robot, also known as a “co-bot”.(相反，Sawyer是一个协作机器人，也被称为“co-bot”)”可知，发明Sawyer是为了与人合作。故选A。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Co-bots operate in a field where human thoughts, human modes of communication and human safety are paramount (首要的).(在合作机器人运作的领域，人类的思维、人类的沟通模式和人类的安全是最重要的)”可推知，以人为本的需求是合作机器人的优先考虑。故选D。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“If the robot detects force topping a safe level, it stops moving instantly, to ensure there is no risk of injury to anyone. Too much of this stop-start can, however, lower efficiency.(如果机器人检测到力超过安全水平，它会立即停止移动，以确保任何人都没有受伤的风险。然而，这种“走走停停”过多会降低效率)”可知，造成工作效率低下的原因是co-bots随时会为避免危险而停下.故选C。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“But even if not actually fun to be with, your plastic pal will become increasingly effective.(但即使和你的塑料伙伴在一起并不有趣，你的塑料伙伴也会变得越来越有效)”可推知，作者对协作机器人持欣赏、支持的态度。故选C。
D
One morning a journalist woke up to an email from his editor, asking for yet another article. “ChatGPT and other generative-AI services seem to be taking the world by storm,” it read. “Could you write an article explaining what they are and why they are not just hype (炒作)?” As he was feeling lazy he asked ChatGPT to answer that question, adding that it should be written in Shakespearean language. This is what came back:
Aye, ‘tis true that’ tis a wondrous thing, these Generative Artificial Intelligences (生成性人工智能), or GTPs as they be known.
‘Tis a marvel of modern science, and a type of AI technology that can generate natural language in response to input.
‘Tis a form of deep learning, in which a computer system is trained on tremendous amounts of text data. And then can generate its own text based on what it hath learned.
‘Tis a powerful tool that can be used for a multitude of applications, from creating content to aiding in customer service.
Obviously, ChatGPT is, quite simply, the best artificial intelligence chatbot ever released to the general public.
For most of the past decade, AI chatbots have been horrible if only it would cherry-pick the response, which is second to none, from the bot, and throw out the rest.
But ChatGPT feels different. Smarter. Weirder. More flexible. It can write jokes, working computer code and college-level essays. It can also guess at medical diagnoses, create text-based Harry Potter games and explain scientific concepts at multiple levels of difficulty.
ChatGPT isn’t perfect, by any means. The way it generates responses-in extremely oversimplified terms, by making probabilistic(基于概率的) guesses about which bits of text belong together in a sequence, based on a statistical model trained on billions of examples of text pulled from all over the Internet-makes it most likely to giving wrong answers, even on seemingly simple math problems. There are also plenty of things ChatGPT won’t do, as a matter of principle. The chatbot is programmed to refuse “improper requests”——a category that appears to include no-nos like instructions for illegal activities.
Thus, ‘tis clear that GPTs are more than mere hype.
‘Tis an exciting time for AI, and ‘tis certain that GPTs will be at the forefront of this revolution.
*Notes: ‘Tis(old use)=it is
Hath (old use)=has
32. What is the story about the journalist intended to?
A. To arouse readers’ interest in the editor. B. To show the brilliance of the journalist.
C. To introduce an efficient tool for chats. D. To indicate the significance of Shakespeare.
33. What does the underlined expression “cherry-pick” in paragraph 7 probably mean?
A. Adopt the very best answer. B. Sample the moderate answer.
C. Abandon the horrible answer. D. Select the second to last answer.
34. Why might ChatGPT not be reliable according to paragraphs 9-10?
A. Probabilistic guesses are oversimplified. B. Trained examples are considerable.
C. Big no-nos are always refused. D. Garbage in, garbage out.
35. What would be the best title of this article?
A. The boundaries of AI B. The Brilliant and Weird AI
C. The Strengths of AI Technology D. Productive poet: Shakespeare or AI-speare?
【答案】32. C 33. A 34. D 35. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一款聊天工具机器人ChatGPT，这种机器人既巧妙又新奇。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文，尤其根据第六段“Obviously, ChatGPT is, quite simply, the best artificial intelligence chatbot ever released to the general public. (显然，ChatGPT是迄今为止向公众发布的最好的人工智能聊天机器人。)”可知，记者的报道目的是介绍一款高效的聊天工具。故选C项。
【33题详解】
词句猜测题。划线词句后半部分“which is second to none, from the bot, and throw out the rest (这是机器人中首屈一指的，其余的都扔掉)”说明这是精心挑选的，从而推知划线部分“For most of the past decade, AI chatbots have been horrible if only it would cherry-pick the response (在过去十年的大部分时间里，人工智能聊天机器人一直很可怕，如果它能cherry-pick回答就好了)”其中划线词汇应为“挑选最佳回答”的意思。故选A项。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第9-10段中“ChatGPT isn’t perfect, by any means. The way it generates responses-in extremely oversimplified terms, by making probabilistic (基于概率的) guesses about which bits of text belong together in a sequence, based on a statistical model trained on billions of examples of text pulled from all over the Internet-makes it most likely to giving wrong answers, even on seemingly simple math problems. (无论如何，ChatGPT并不完美。它生成响应的方式——用极其简化的术语来说，就是基于从互联网上抽取的数十亿个文本示例训练的统计模型，对一个序列中哪些文本片段属于同一组，进行概率性猜测——这使得它很可能给出错误的答案，即使是在看似简单的数学问题上。)”可知，如果输入的数据有误，就会有错误的数据输出，所以ChatGPT并不可靠。故选D项。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，根据第六段“Obviously, ChatGPT is, quite simply, the best artificial intelligence chatbot ever released to the general public. (显然，ChatGPT是迄今为止向公众发布的最好的人工智能聊天机器人。)”和第八段中“But ChatGPT feels different. Smarter. Weirder. More flexible. (但是ChatGPT感觉不一样。更聪明。更新奇。更加灵活。)”可知，本文介绍了一款人工智能聊天机器人，这种机器人，既巧妙又新奇。B项“巧妙而新奇的人工智能”符合主题，故选B项。

And so here we are. ____39____ Sure, readers will enjoy the twists and turns. And I can see myself in the character. ____40____ I wrote it to help people. To give them a place to belong to. A place to talk about this fictional world. The very same thing that saved me last year.

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文讲述了作者通过写作治愈了自己的抑郁症的故事。
【36题详解】
根据上文“Last year, I fell into a deep depression. It was caused by a car accident. I was in physical recovery from the accident and suddenly all of my old hurts started coming up. I found myself crying on the floor of my apartment.(去年，我陷入了深深的抑郁。它是由一场车祸造成的。我的身体正在从事故中恢复，突然我所有的旧伤开始出现。我发现自己在公寓的地板上哭了)”可知，作者因抑郁症，新伤旧伤并发，躺在公寓的地板上哭泣，此时的感受是绝望的。故B选项“我没有看到出路”符合语境。故选B。
【37题详解】
根据上文“Let’s pause for a moment. I don’t want you to bleed with me or to pity me. But I also don’t want to cover my reality. And the truth is, beneath the shiny photos you see on the Internet, I’m still a work in progress.(让我们暂停一下。我不想让你和我一起流血或同情我。但我也不想掩盖我的现实。事实上，在你在互联网上看到的那些闪亮的照片下面，我还在努力)”以及后文“Like all of us, I’m doing the best I can and making the best choices I can. Back to the evening when I found myself lying on the floor.(就像我们所有人一样，我在尽我所能，做出最好的选择。回到那天晚上，我发现自己躺在地板上)”可知，第二段讲述了作者直面真实的自己，上文提到作者在背后仍然在努力，即并不像照片那样完美。故A选项“我并不完美”符合语境。故选A。
【38题详解】
根据上文“There was a TV show I absolutely loved. I started writing fan fiction. It provided a beautiful place of escape from the thoughts swimming in my head.(有一个电视节目我非常喜欢。我开始写同人小说。它为我提供了一个美丽的地方，让我可以逃离脑海中游弋的思绪)”可知作者开始写fan fiction(同人小说)，这给作者提供了思想的去处，所以作者的抑郁症开始烟消云散了。故C选项“抑郁症开始好转”符合语境。故选C。
【39题详解】
根据上文“And so here we are.(所以我们就在这里)”以及后文“Sure, readers will enjoy the twists and turns.(当然，读者会喜欢其中的曲折)”可知，“here we are”说明作文将思路从回忆中拉回现实，来到了新书发布的时刻。根据下文可知，读者会喜欢书中故事的千回百转，说明此题肯定会提到书。故E选项“书出版的前一天”符合语境。故选E。
【40题详解】
根据后文“I wrote it to help people. To give them a place to belong to. A place to talk about this fictional world. The very same thing that saved me last year.(我写这本书是为了帮助人们。给他们一个归属感。一个谈论这个虚构世界的地方。就是去年救了我的那件事)”故由下文可知，作者写书的真实目的不是因为在书中看到自己的影子，而是意图帮助那些曾经和他有一样经历的人。故D选项“但那不是我真正的动机”符合语境。故选D。

A Foothold in Life
A dozen children ran around laughing and playing in my friend’s yard, while we parents sat chatting and sipping cool summer drinks. The barbecue had been cleared away when our host announced a surprise. A huge movable rock wall was loaded in, which was about twelve feet wide, made of gray molded plastic with indented footholds that stretched straight up for what looked like at least a hundred feet. The enthusiastic kids swiftly lined up to give it a try, and with the complete fearlessness most children possess, scrambled to the top and rang the bell that hung at the highest point. There wasn’t really anything to be afraid of since they were belted into place. Three people could climb side by side and talk to each other, so gradually the adults tried it, too.
“Come on; let’s go get in line,” my husband Neil urged. “No, you go ahead without me.” I had all sorts of good excuses: I don’t have the right shoes; I forgot my sunglasses; I have to help the hostess. I have a unique talent for seeing unthinkable danger in almost every situation, and this scene seemed dangerous to me. I watched everyone else having fun, though, and finally convinced myself to try it.
With all the nerve I could gather, I started the climb. The belt wrapped around me like a diaper so there was no way to fall. Yes, I thought, this is fun and safe! Concentrating on each foothold, I slowly made my way up. I avoided looking down to prevent any sudden panic, and within a few minutes I made it to the top and proudly rang the bell.
“Woo hoo!” my daughters called up to me. “Way to go, Col!” Neil yelled.
I enjoyed my success and the enjoyable view of fields and farmland until I realized there was a line below me waiting for a turn. It was time to go down.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；

It was one thing to look out at the world in the distance, but it was a whole other thing to look straight down.

Finally, the two of us reached the ground.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】[参考范文]
It was one thing to look out at the world in the distance, but it was a whole other thing to look straight down. My legs were shaking uncontrollably and my grip on the handholds was slipping. I could hear my family calling up recommendations to me. Closing my eyes and taking a deep breath, I tried to calm myself down. And then, I felt a gentle hand on my back. “It’s okay,” a kind voice said. “I’m here to help you down.” I turned to see a friendly face, someone I had only met briefly before, but who had clearly seen my distress and come to my aid. With her support, I was able to climb down, slowly but surely.
Finally, the two of us reached the ground. I was overwhelmed with gratitude, and as I hugged my rescuer, I realized that sometimes it’s okay to admit when we need help. It’s okay to be afraid, and it’s okay to lean on others when we’re feeling unsure. On my drive home, I couldn’t stop thinking about the rock wall. It had been a symbol of my own self-doubt and fear, but I had conquered it. I felt like I had a new foothold in life, a new sense of confidence that I could take on whatever challenges came my way.
