37、d, but in 1859 Darwins Origin of Species appeared.Thomas Henry Huxley at once realized its importance and how the theory of natural selection provided “the working hypothesis (假说) we sought”For the rest of his life Thomas Henry Huxley struggled to ensure the full recognition of Darwins work.In 1863

45、In this collection, none of the stories are made up of fixed patterns of words or ideas, and none of them are easy. Rather, theyre enigmatic, revealing themselves to the reader at unexpected times, sometimes long after the last word has been read.The book begins with “Orbit”, a standout story from H
46、ollands 1994 collection The Spectacle of the Body. The story centers around a young brother and sister, their mother ill, their father missing. Theres not much light in “Orbit”, or in many of Hollands other stories.For the most part, she uses the microfiction technique to great effect, making the li
47、ne between short story and poem less clear. In “Music of the Old” Holland needs just 16 sentences to craft a moving tale about a boy on the roof of a parking garage, listening to the music playing from a club hes too young to enter. And she uses fewer than 100 words in “Blue Angels” to describe the
48、consequences of an air show crash, but makes every one of them count; the result is both terrifying and powerful.But theres a minor complaint when the collection features stories like “Once I Wrote a Story”, which can be read as a kind of key to the other tales in the book:“Once I wrote a story abou
49、t you,” she writes, “You said, Whats it about? I said, You.” Holland is at her best when she drops her guard, not all the way but just a bit, and invites the reader in, if only for a second.I Was Trying to Describe What It Feels Like is a strong collection, and Hollands writing is by turns strange a
50、nd maddening in the best possible way. She sees life as complicated, moving so fast in so many directions that its impossible, or nearly so, to describe exactly: “Nothing lasts, but nothing is finished, either. The brain boils and cools, same as many things . Nothings lost; no grief (悲伤), unspoken,
51、forgotten.”语篇解读:本文是一篇议论文。Noy Holland是一名美国女作家,作者评论了她最新的作品集。28.What does the underlined word “enigmatic” in Paragraph 1 mean?ADifficult to understand.BDifficult to remember.CDifficult to explain.DDifficult to finish.解析:选A词义猜测题。根据第一段中的none of the stories are made up of fixed patterns of words or ideas,

53、 up of fixed patterns of words or ideas可知,Holland的故事不同寻常;根据第二段中的“Theres not much light in Orbit, or in many of Hollands other stories.”可知,她的故事总是很悲伤;根据第三段内容可知,她的故事一般都很短。30The collection is a little dissatisfactory because it includes A“Orbit”B“Blue Angels”C“Music of the Old” D“Once I Wrote a Story”解析
54、:选D细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的But theres a minor complaint when the collection features stories like “Once I Wrote a Story”可知,这部作品集由于收录了“Once I Wrote a Story”一文而不那么让人满意。31What type of writing is the text?AA biography. BA book review.CAn official report. DAn announcement.解析:选B推理判断题。通读全文可知,作者对Holland的作品集进行了评论,评论了

Ernest Hemingway stopped writing just when the story got good, so hed always know where to pick up the next day.But perhaps the next generation (一代) of writers may receive help from robots that do t
56、he hard work for them. A new technology, put forward by Robin Sloan, an American author, is to use artificial intelligence (人工智能) (AI) to provide ideas for a novel, an email or other articles when a writer is searching for the best way to express himself or herself.“They can use grammar and put word
57、s together in interesting ways,” Robin Sloan said at the Real Future Fair. Sloan created a writing bot (a computer program) and had it read all of his old sciencefiction (科幻) magazines from the 1960s and 1970s. The program read and learned the styles (风格) of those oldschool stories.At the fair, Sloa
58、n worked with the audience to create the beginning of a story: “A long, long time from now in Oakland there was a robot designed to destroy all the high families. The high families were the ones of course who owned the seasons.”Lets be honest. This is not a novel like one written by US writer Ray Br
59、adbury. But something very similar to this writing bot could be a useful tool for gaining inspiration.“I am 100 percent sure that some years from now it will be used in a lot of situations,” Sloan said.“For example, AI programs could read all of a companys emails, so that an employee who is trying t
60、o get a point across will have suggestions that are in keeping with the companys style,” Sloan said.“Or perhaps the next big movie hit will be written by screenplay writers who get excellent ideas from a writing bot,” he said.语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了美国作家Robin Sloan发明了一项人工智能技术,可以帮助作家创作。32How may AI help
61、 the new generation of writers?AIt will help them learn from other writers.BIt will correct mistakes in their novels.CIt will help them create their stories.DIt will teach them new knowledge.解析:选C细节理解题。根据第二段中的use artificial intelligence (人工智能) (AI) to provide ideas for a novel, an email or other art

63、l stories.”可知,这个写作程序创作的故事是以过去的科幻故事为基础的。34What do the examples in the last paragraph show?ARobots need to be more creative.BThe writing bot has disadvantages.CAI programs will have many different uses.DDifferent writing bots have different styles.解析:选C推理判断题。联系倒数第二段可知,最后一段的两个例子是用来说明人工智能程序会有很多用途。35What
64、 is the purpose of the text?ATo report a new AI technology.BTo describe some great writers.CTo show the importance of AI.DTo explain some AI programs.解析:选A写作意图题。通读全文可知,本文介绍了一项可以帮助作家创作的人工智能技术,故选A。第二节(共5小题; 每小题2.5分, 满分12.5分)根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。How to Set Yourself on FireMy stunt
