13. If you are in a dilemma about being self-taught or getting formal education, you have come to the right webpage. In this article, we note the advantages of each of these to help you decide which one would be the best for you.
Perhaps the biggest advantage of being self-taught is that you are able to save a lot of money. With each passing year, the cost of getting a degree is on the rise. As a result, many students these days tend to graduate from college with a significant amount of debt. This makes it necessary for them to get a job as soon as possible, otherwise a number of serious issues may arise. Besides, it is possible to learn faster on your own, by focusing on only those areas that you are interested in. Finally, learning on your own can be a great confidence builder. Y ou have to struggle to gain knowledge but once you clear the basics on your own, you will find yourself being much more confident about your abilities.
One of the biggest advantages of formal education is that you get a degree which is a mark of recognition that you have achieved a level of knowledge in that particular field. Many companies tend to prefer candidates who have a college degree. What’s more, though formal education lacks the convenience and flexibility of self-education, it offers you much more in terms of the actual structure of the learning process. Last, being formally
educated means that you will enter a college or other similar educational institutions. There you will get the benefit of being taught and guided by learned teachers and other subject experts. This will be a big benefit as you will be able to take advantage of their experience and gain in-depth knowledge about the subject.
Thus, both formal education and self-education have their own sets of advantages. The choice between the two comes down to individual preferences as well as personal situations.
1. Which of the following is an advantage of self-education?
A．A faster pace of learning
B．Being guided by subject experts
C．A wider range of ways to gain knowledge
D．Having more chances of getting part-time jobs.
2. To get the benefit of being taught by learned experts, you should ________.
A．choose self-education
B．enter an educational institution
C．work for learned teachers
D．make use of webpages about education
3. What is the most important factor in choosing the way of education?
A．The reputation of educational institutions.
B．The knowledge of teachers and experts.
C．The opinions of relatives and friends.
D．One’s preference and situations.
4. What is the author’s purpose of writing this text?
A．To promote a webpage about education.
B．To prove that self-education is the best choice.
C．To help readers choose between two form of education.
D．To prove that it’s difficult to decide on the proper education.
14. Dormitory management officials in universities say that lately they are noticing something different: students seem to lack the will and skill to address their ordinary conflicts. “W e have students who are mad at each other and they text each other in the same room,” says a teacher. “So many of our roommate conflicts are because kids don’t know how to negotiate.”
And as many psychologists will tell you, bottled emotions lead to silent unhappiness that can boil over into frustration and anger. “At Florida University, emotional outbreaks occur about once a week,” the dormitory director says. “It used to be: ‘Let’s sit down and talk about it,’” he says. “Recently, roommate conflicts have increased. The students don’t have the person-to-person discussions and they don’t know how to handle them.” The problem is most impressive among freshmen; dormitory officials say some students even never seem to catch on till graduation, and they worry about how such students will deal with conflicts after college.
Administrators suppose that relying on cell phones and the Internet may have made it easier for young people to avoid uncomfortable meetings. Why express anger in person when you can do it in a text? Facebook makes the situation worse as complaints go public. “Things are posted on someone’s wall on Facebook: ‘Oh, my roommate kept me up all night studying,”’ says Dana Pysz, an assistant director in the housing office at California University. “It’s a different way to express their conflicts to each other.” In recent group discussions at North Carolina State University, students said they would not even accuse the noisy neighbors on their floor face to face.
Administrators also point to parents who have fixed their children’s problems in their entire lives. Now in college, the children lack the skills to attend to even modest conflicts. Would these parents continue to take care of everything on campus?
1. What does the underlined word “address” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?
A．To greet someone with a title or name.B．To start trying to solve a problem.
C．To put an address on an envelope.D．To make a formal speech.
2. Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?
A．Students handled it directly when they were in conflict.
B．Parents are the main factor to make their children lose the skills.
C．Cellphones are to blame in the students’ conflicts in their dormitories.
D．Unhappy and cornered emotions resulted in quarrels between students once a week.
3. What do we learn from the group discussions at North Carolina State University?
A．Students are always angry with each other.
B．Students have to bear noises from neighbors.
C．Students may be not good at negotiating in person.
D．Students are brought up self-centered.
4. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A．Students’ Unhappy Life in University B．Parents’ Attention in Children’s Life
C．Students’ Failure to Deal with Conflicts D．Teachers’ Concerns about Students
文章大意：本文为一篇说明文。

文章主要介绍了上个月，科罗拉多州博览会的一位艺术奖得主在他发布消息并解释他用AI创造后，引发了一场暴力抗议，这也标志着艺术创作的规则显然正在发生变化。

15. Artists everywhere are getting “understandably nervous” about recent advances in artificial intelligence. Last month, a winner of an art prize at the Colorado State Fair “sparked a violent protest” when he posted the news and explained that he’d created his image using an AI program. Critics quickly accused 39-year-old Lance Allen of cheating. To be fair, Allen had won in the digital art category and made no secret of how the image had been produced. But the rules of art making are clearly changing.
Allen’s creative process, to be clear, “was not a push-button operation, ”said Jason Blain in Forbes. He claims to have spent 80 hours on his entry, first on fine-tuning his text prompts (提示), then by touching up the final image using Photoshop and similar tools, then arranging to print the image on canvas. He made the finished product using AI much as a photographer creates an image using a camera.
But Allen, a tabletop game developer, is awed by AI’s capabilities and urges artists and illustrators to welcome the technology rather than fight it.“Art is dead,” he says. “AI won. Humans lost.” A more inspiring lesson to take from his victory, though, is that image generators are likely to “expand the appreciation for and creation of art” by opening the field to people, like him, who could never draw anything as detailed as his award-winning image. “If anything, we will have more artists,” and as the technology progresses, “we might see the emergence of art styles that none have seen before.”
Y ou can’t blame traditional artists if they’re unhappy. Image generators work their magic, after all, by analyzing the aesthetics (美学) of millions of pre-existing images. One of the most complicated image generators “makes crystal clear just how destructive this technology will be,” said Loz Eliot in New Atlas. Given a specific prompt, it can produce an image of just about anything you can imagine and even follow the style of a favorite artist’s work. Its arrival marks “an incredible popularization of visual creativity” while aiming “a knife to the heart of anyone who’s spent decades improving their artistic techniques hoping to make a living from them.”
1. Why are artists getting nervous about AI recently?
A．A winner of an art prize used AI.B．Lance Allen cheated in the art competition.
C．The digital art will soon dominate.D．There will be great changes in art creation.
2. What does the author intend to tell us in paragraph 2?
A．It was no easy work for Allen even with Al.B．Allen worked as a photographer creating an image.
C．AI played a key role in Allen’s art creation.D．Although with AI, Allen’s creation counted a lot.
3. What lesson can we draw from Allen’s winning?
A．Human has been beaten by AI.B．AI will make art more popular.
C．Greater artists and new art styles will appear.D．AI enables amateurs to win art competitions.
4. Why does Loz Eliot say the new technology will be destructive?
A．It works by analyzing images created by human.
B．It can produce images beyond people’s imagination.
C．It makes artists’ long-time effort meaningless.
D．It makes it impossible for artists to make a living.
文章大意：本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了作者与心目中的英雄 Jack Canfield 建立了联系，后来作者因忙于其他事情，与杰克中断了联络，作者试图再次与杰克取得联系，等待杰克回复电子邮件的过程中，有了一个灵感，开始写一本名为《等待杰克》的书，最终获得了成功的故事。

16. On a cold winter day in Denver, I waited in line to see my hero, Jack Canfield, the co-author of the best-selling Chicken Soup for the Soul series and the author of The Success Principles. What Jack had become was a version of what I wanted to be.
During his talk, Jack took out his wallet, pulled out a hundred-dollar bill, and said, “Who wants this?”
Hands shot up in the audience; people leaned forward to see whom Jack would choose. But I ran up the stairs to the stage and grabbed the bill from his hand. He turned to me and said, “Y es, that’s it! Instead of waiting around for opportunities, simply take the initiative and create what we want!”
After this week, I asked for his personal e-mail address and sent him e-mail sharing my views and dreams. He kindly e-mailed back simple encouragement such as “Keep thinking and playing bigger; it’s much more fun that way. Love, Jack.” Then I got occupied with other things in life and
I stopped e-mail Jack.
A year later, my dream gradually faded. I had this idea if I got back in touch with Jack. I e-mailed him again and again but got no response. As I
sat down at my computer to check my e-mail for the fifth time in 15 minutes, an inspiration came like lighting: What was I doing? Was I waiting for the prize of life? I knew I needed to do something about all this waiting. I was going to write a book, which I would call “Waiting for Jack”!
It all sounded good, but then reality hit. Some nights I cried and wanted to give up. I wrote and rewrote. Even though I could feel the fear, I did it anyway. Fortunately, three years later, Waiting for Jack turns out a best-seller on Amazon!
We all have a “Jack” for whom we wait — whether it’s a person, a place or a thing. Now I would like to ask you: what are you waiting for?
1. From the first paragraph we can learn that the author _________.
A．wanted Jack to autograph her book
B．wanted to be as successful as Jack
C．wanted to make friends with Jack
D．wanted to get help from Jack
2. It can be inferred from the passage that Jack Canfield is probably a person who _________.
A．welcomes challenges in life
B．enjoys playing a lot
C．likes showing off his wealth
D．seldom takes risks
3. How did the author lose contact with Jack?
A．She and Jack had an argument.
B．She had no time to contact Jack.
C．Jack was too proud to get along with.
D．She was too upset with her broken dream.
4. Which of the following statements is NOT True according to the passage?
A．The author considered Jack Canfield as her idol.
B．The author was not very satisfied with Jack’s response at first.
C．It was the author’s sudden desire to write a book called Waiting for Jack.
D．The author spent three years writing Waiting for Jack, so it became a best seller.
5. What might be the theme of the book Waiting for Jack?
A．The disappointment of waiting for her hero, Jack.
B．The need to keep waiting for the prize of our life.
C．The importance of taking action to achieve a goal.
D．The harm of blindly worshipping others as heroes.
七、阅读理解
文章大意：本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了学习英语的一些方法。

17. The majority of high-school English learners are still trying to become advanced speakers. But many give up because they feel they will never
reach fluency. Anyone can reach an advanced level, but to do this, changes need to be made. 1 .
Immerse (沉浸) yourself
It is not necessary to move to an English-speaking country to immerse yourself. 2 . To reach an advanced level, you need lots of input in English, and making these small changes means you get hours of input every day. Your brain needs to adapt to the language, and this takes time.
3
In order to produce English sounds, you need to first know how to produce the sounds; then you need to practice and get feedback. Think about the sounds you have the most problems with, and then take the time to change the position of your tongue and the shape of your lips so you sound like the audio. 4 .
Have fun
Too many learners feel that having a high level in English is all about devotion and working hard. The biggest problem with this is that it is very difficult to maintain. 5 . They work hard, then do nothing and then study hard again. This cycle will get you nowhere. By doing the things you love, learning English won’t feel like studying at all. Be curious, find interesting things to do, and don’t worry too much about understanding everything.
A．Ask for feedback
B．Work on pronunciation
C．The followings are some possible shifts you can make
D．That is why so many learners go through cycles of study
E．Then get feedback from someone to make sure you are speaking correctly
F．So long as you work and make progress every day, you will reach the advanced level finally
G．English books, videos, movies and more can be accessed by anyone from anywhere in the world
