I’ve consulted several travel experts to find out the top places in the USA worth visiting in 2020. Where: New Orleans, Louisiana Why: New Orleans is known for its music and food scene-not to mention the festivals. It has about 130 festivals each year so there’s really no bad time to visit. Bourbon Street is the obvious choice for food, drink and jazz and it’s definitely a must-visit location, especially for first-timers to the city. Where: Vail Village, Colorado Why: Vail is the perfect destination for travelers looking to find almost everything in one central spot. Stay at the amazing Four Seasons Resort and Residences Vail to be steps away from Vail Village, a popular town with cobblestone (鹅卵石) streets for wandering leisurely. The country’s largest free transportation system runs frequently, making it easy to access almost anywhere from Vail Village to Lionshead Village. Where: Hudson Valley, New York Why: The Hudson Valley is where New Yorkers go to escape the city when they need a healthy dose of nature and relaxation. Just an hour and half north of New York City, the Hudson Valley is made up of small, impossibly charming towns, where the air is fresher and things do move slower in the mountains. 1. You can enjoy different things in New Orleans except ________. A. scenery B. music C. festivals D. food 2. Which place would you prefer if you like wandering leisurely? A. Bourbon Street. B. Vail Village. C. Lionshead Village. D. New Orleans. 3. What can New Yorkers enjoy in the Hudson Valley? A. Ancient towns. B. Healthy diets. C. Slow movement. D. Inner peace. B Twenty years ago, I became involved in pet therapy (治疗) work. As digging deeper into the job, I had an urge to be a recorder of their daily work to let more and more people know their efforts and contributions. After all, they could not say our languages. It was when I got familiar with the work that I got my golden retriever puppy (金毛寻 回犬), whom I named Angel. As she matured and went through obedience training, I realized that she would be a good partner. Angel is ten now and still works every week. As a rule, she visits two hospitals, a day care for the elderly, and our library’s PAWS for Reading program. Angel has also helped out at a children’s special-needs camp. She is so popular that everywhere we go people recognize her, especially the kids she has worked with. We have seen some very special things through our pet therapy work. I brought Angel to our local hospital to visit a woman who was completely paralyzed (瘫痪的) on her right side from a stroke. One day, my husband, Jack asked her if she wanted to give Angel a treat. She nodded and gently took the treat, raised her right hand and started petting Angel. Her friend was in the room and said, “She hasn’t been able to move that hand since she had her stroke!” Somehow it seems appropriate that when Angel visits the hospital, she also performs tricks for the patients with her paws. The best one is when she crouches on the floor and crosses her paws. She stays still and doesn’t move until Jack says “Best wishes”. It’s the best wishes for all the people Angel meets as well as for her. 4. Why does the author want to be a recorder? A. Pets cannot record themselves. B. Pets should be highly praised. C. Pets’ labor should be made aware of. D. Pets daily work is important. 5. How is Angel’s work? A. Busy but rewarding. B. Interesting but tiring. C. Funny and amusing. D. Important and demanding. 6. What did Angel do for the paralyzed woman? A. She cured her disease. B. She visited her at times. C. She gave her best wishes. D. She played tricks on her. 7. What is the best title for the passage? A. A loyal dog. B. Selfless love. C. A silent angel. D. Great devotion. C When you really love a book, or have just scored a new one that you’re dying to read, it can be exciting to pick up a smooth, shiny hardcover copy that creaks a little bit when you open it. But those hardcover books can be heavy, and new ones aren’t cheap, either. Sometimes, you’d just rather have a portable paperback—but if it’s a new book you’re after, you might have to wait a full year or so to get it in paperback form. Why are books released as hardcovers first? Not so long ago, hardcover books were the only type of books. Before the appearance of mass production, print runs were limited, and books were hard-bound and expensive. Around the 1930s, that changed with the production of mass-produced paperback books, which consisted with a huge surge in reading as a leisure activity around World War II. Paperback books were more affordable and cheaper to produce, which still holds true today. Despite the seeming advantages of paperbacks, there are several reasons why the hardcover has persisted. Because of its history, it conveys a bit more legitimacy (正统性) in the book world than the paperback does.” The hardback is a mark of quality…it shows booksellers and reviewers that this is a book worth paying attention to,” Philip Jones, editor at the Bookseller, explains to The Guardian. But the major reason why books come out as hardeovers is that people buy them, despite their higher cost. The Economist compares it to movies being released in theaters several months before they arrive on DVD. “Just as film fans like to see films on the big screen, collectors enjoy the hardback’s superior quality,” according to The Economist. And because they’re profitable, publishers can gain more from hardcovers, which “will often sell at twice the price of their paperback equivalent but do not cost twice as much to produce,” Jones explains. 8. What can we learn about hardcover books from paragraph1? A. They appeal to real book-lovers. B. They are heavy but not expensive. C. They take a long time to come out. D. They are not preferred by book-lovers. 9. What does the underlined word “surge” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Drop. B. Success. C. Blow. D. Increase. 10. Why are hardback books still printed today? A. They are brilliantly edited. B. They are worth collecting. C. They convey correct information. D. They sell better than paperbacks. 11. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To introduce hardcover books. B. To present a new social finding. C. To explain a confusing problem. D. To encourage people to read books. D Never play games with a bot(robot)—it will find a way to cheat if it can. A team from OpenAI, an artificial intelligence lab in San Francisco, has developed artificially intelligent bots that taught themselves to cooperate by playing hide-and-seek. The bots also learned how to use basic tools to help them win. Bowen Baker at Open AI and his colleagues wanted to see if the team-based dynamics of the OpenAI Five could be used to produce skills that could one day be useful to humans. The researchers set their bots loose in a simulated (模拟的) environment filled with fixed walls, movable boxes and ladders, and left them to play team games of hide-and-seek. The bots each had their own view of the world and couldn’t communicate with each other directly. At first, the hiders simply ran away. But they soon worked out that the quickest way to stop the seekers was to find objects in the environment to hide themselves from view. The seekers learned that they could move boxes around and use them to climb over walls. The bots then discovered that being a team-player -passing objects to each other or cooperating on a hideout -was the quickest way to win. But the real surprise came when the bots started making use of problems or faults. Seekers found that if they pushed a ladder towards a wall, they could launch themselves into the air and spot hiders from above. Hiders found that they could get rid of the ladders by pushing them aside. It shows that AIs are able to find solutions that humans miss, says Baker. “Maybe they’ll even be able to solve problems that humans don’t yet know how to.” However, it is a large leap (跳跃) from virtual hide and seek to real problem-solving. “The main limitation is that it is in simulation,” says Chelsea Finn at Stanford University. 12. Why did Bowen and his colleagues conduct the research? A. To teach bots to play games. B. To train bots to use basic tools. C. To find if bots may cheat like humans. D. To see the potential of robots cooperation. 13. What’s the third paragraph mainly about? A. The tools of the research. B. The design of the research. C. The competitors of the game. D. The environment of the game. 14. What does the underlined word “It” in the last paragraph refer to? A. Passing objects. B. Moving boxes around. C. Making use of faults. D. Hiding themselves from view. 15. What does Chelsea think of the finding of the research? A. It can bridge a gap in the AI research. B. It will not be influenced by the real world. C. It will definitely help the real problem-solving. D. It may not be realized out of the virtual world. 第二节 阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选 项。 So often we find ourselves on autopilot—waking up in the same home, putting on the same clothes and taking the same transportation to the same-old job.____16____And while it’s perfectly natural for humans to stick to routine, there’s much to be discovered beyond the limits of our comfort zones. There is no exception to a man aged 53.____17____He knew it was going to be hard to find another job. He also knew it was now or never to pursue his lifelong dream of owning his own restaurant. But he was too old to compete with the young and too weak to do any labor work. ____18____He didn’t want to spend his rest life sitting around and feeling pity for himself. Also, Mrs. Mockenhaupt actively encouraged him to move on, considering it a perfect chance for two of them to start their own business with plenty of time and without the disturbance of children. ____19____Brian found just what he wanted eight blocks from home—an existing cafe that was underperforming and whose owner was highly motivated to get out of his lease (租期).____20____But the problem was that he had never financially planned for this day. He had to borrow money from friends and relatives. After that, he changed the name to Black Dog Coffee, and made it alive again. Eighteen years later, they’re still there and doing better than ever. Brian says he’s extremely grateful for the decision to make a change. A. Then came the opportunity. B. The thought filled him with anxiety. C. That was exactly what Brian needed. D. Even our New Year’s decisions to change hardly make it. E. With the support of his family, he took a job in the local cafe. F. Several weeks after consideration, he decided to have a change. G. Brian Mockenhaupt got laid off from a senior management position. 第三部分:语言运用 第一节 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。 My journey to isolation (隔离) was somewhat accidental.

This was our relationship: I asked him questions and he told me the answers. In my teen years, he taught me things I’d need to know to survive in the real world. When I moved out on my own, I called him usually when something broke into my apartment and I needed to know how to fix the toilet, the air-conditioner or the wall. But then, eventually, I needed him less. For everything, I had Google. I don’t know when it happened, but when I called our conversations developed into six words. Me: “Hi, Dad”. Him: “Hi, sweets. Here’s Mom.” I loved my dad, of course, but I wondered at times if maybe he had already shared everything I needed to know. Then, this past summer, I moved in with my parents for three weeks while my house was being repaired. They own a lake house, and Dad asked me to help him rebuild the bulkhead(隔板)at their dock(船坞). “How do you know how to build a bulkhead?” “I spent a summer in college building them on the Jersey shore.” “You did?” I thought I knew everything about my dad. I knew about the summer at the manufacturing plant that burned his hands raw, and even the tiny little kitchen, where he learned how to make the best pancake. But I never knew this. “Yes. Now come up here and let me teach you how to use this circulars saw (圆锯).” All of a sudden, I realized that maybe it’s not that there’s nothing left to say. Maybe it’s just that I’ve spent my life asking him the wrong questions. We ended up our talking but I was lost in thought.______________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________ “Wait, Dad,” I said, “How are you?________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________
