2、 China, and by far the best known. Their efforts have since inspired generations of people to speak out for architecture threatened by the rush toward development. Becoming Chinas best architectural historians was no easy accomplishment. The buildings they wanted to save were centuries old, located
3、in distant parts of the country. In many cases, they had to journey through dangerous conditions in the Chinese countryside to reach them. Exploring Chinas remote areas during the 1930s meant traveling muddy, poorly maintained roads by mule (骡子)or on foot. Inns were often dirty, food could be pollut

19、lifornia Trapped Inside a Glacier Reading about John Alls experience on Mount Himlung was very inspiring to me. A man with 15 broken bones and bleeding internally being able to climb up a 70-foot wall of ice and survive for 18 hours at 20,000 feet is something that I would have thought to be impossi
20、ble. I am 16 years old and a lifelong reader. Out of all the great content in Readers Digest, stories like his are the ones I enjoy the most. SAM KIEFFER, Richardson, Texas Dishes Professional Chefs Cook in the Microwave Microwaving live lobsters is cruel. Because lobsters feel pain, Switzerland has
21、 recently outlawed the practice of boiling them alive. A similar law was passed in Italy, where it is now illegal to put lobsters on ice before cooking them. I hope you provide an update to your story promoting humane (人道的) practices instead of very cruel and violent ones. JANET TOOLE, Phoenixville,
22、 Pennsylvania 60. What happened to Anita Lawrence after her husbands diagnosis? A. She felt very painful. B. She gained some life lessons. C. She paid more attention to her own health. D.

24、land and Italy in order to _.

25、diced, objectively selected facts. But in these days of complex news it must provide more: it must supply interpretation, the meaning of the facts. This is a very important assignment facing American journalists to make clear to the reader the problems of the day, to make international news understa
26、ndable as community news, to recognize that there is no longer any such thing as local news, because any event in the international area has a local reaction in the financial market, political circles, in terms, indeed, of our very way of life. There is in journalism a widespread view that when you
27、start an interpretation, you are entering dangerous waters, the rushing tides of opinion. This is nonsense. The opponents of interpretation insist that the writer and the editor shall limit themselves to the facts. This insistence raises two questions: What are the facts? Are the bare facts enough?
28、As for the first question, consider how a so-called factual story comes about. The reporter collects, say, fifty facts; out of these fifty, his space being necessarily restricted, he selects the ten which he considers most important. This is Judgment Number One. Then he or his editor decides which o
29、f these ten facts shall make up the beginning of the article, which is an important decision because many readers do not proceed beyond the first paragraph. This is Judgment Number Two. Then the night editor determines whether the article shall be presented on page one, where it has a large influenc
30、e, or on page twenty four, where it has little. Judgment Number Three. Thus in the presentation of a so-called factual or objective story, at least three judgments are involved. And they are judgments not at all unlike those involved in interpretation, in which reporters and editors, calling upon th
31、eir research resources, their general background, and their news neutralism, arrive at a conclusion as to the significance of the news. The two areas of judgment, presentation of the news and its interpretation, are both objective and subjective processes. If an editor is determined to give a prejud
32、iced view of the news, he can do it in other ways and more effectively than by interpretation. He can do it by the selection of those facts that support his particular viewpoint. Or he can do it by the place he gives a story promoting it to page one or dragging it to page thirty. 63. According to th
33、e first paragraph, which of the following statements is TRUE? A. If a reporter makes clear the facts he writes, he will no doubt get into trouble. B. Journalists must select facts objectively to make current events clear to the readers. C. The most important task of reporters is to provide unprejudi
34、ced facts for the readers. D. For reporters, interpretation of facts is no less important than presentation of the facts. 64. The beginning of the article should present the most important fact because _. A. it will influence the reader to continue B. most readers read only the first paragraph C. it
35、 details the general attitude of the writer D. its the best way to write according to the schools of journalism 65. Where a story is presented in a newspaper shows _. A. the editors prejudice B. the reporters background C. the storys factual matter D. the storys effect on the readers 66. Which of th
36、e following can best express the authors attitude toward objectiveness? A. Objectiveness is controlled by editors rather than writers. B. Properly choosing facts prepares a solid ground for objectiveness. C. He doesnt think there exists complete objectiveness in news writing. D. To make clear the ne
37、ws is a way to be objective and responsible for the readers. 答案：(A) 56-59 BDAC (B) 60-62 BCA (C) 63-66 DBDC 05. 虹口区虹口区 (A) People worry that developments in Artificial Intelligence, or A.I., will bring about a point in history when A.I. overtakes human intelligence, leading to an unimaginable revolu
38、tion in human affairs. Or they wonder whether instead of our controlling artificial intelligence, it will control us. The situation may not arise for hundreds of years to come, but this doesnt mean we have nothing to worry about. On the contrary, The A.I. products that now exist are improving faster
39、 than most people realize and promise to fundamentally transform our world, not always for the better. They are only tools, not a competing form of intelligence. But they will reshape what work means and how wealth is created. Unlike the Industrial Revolution and the Computer Revolution, the A.I. re
40、volution is not taking certain jobs and replacing them with other jobs. Instead, it is believed to cause a wide-scale elimination of jobs mostly lower-paying jobs, but some higher-paying ones, too. This transformation will result in enormous profits for the companies that develop A.I., as well as fo
41、r the companies that adopt it. We are thus facing two developments that do not sit easily together: enormous wealth concentrated in relatively few hands and enormous numbers of people out of work. What is to be done? Part of the answer will involve educating or retraining people in tasks A.I. tools
42、arent good at. Artificial intelligence is poorly suited for jobs involving creativity, planning and cross-field thinking. But these skills are typically required by high-paying jobs that may be hard to retrain displaced workers to do. More promising are lower-paying jobs involving the people skills
43、that A.I. lacks: social workers, barmen, doormen professions requiring human interaction. But how many barmen does a society really need? The solution to the problem of mass unemployment will involve service jobs of love. These are jobs that A.I. cannot do, that society needs and that give people a
44、sense of purpose. Examples include accompanying an older person to visit a doctor, helping at an orphanage and serving as a sponsor at charity organization. The volunteer service jobs of today, in other words, may turn into the real jobs of the future. Other volunteer jobs may be higher-paying and p
45、rofessional, such as compassionate medical service providers. In all cases, people will be able to choose to work fewer hours than they do now. 56. In what aspect is the A.I. revolution different from the Industrial or the Computer revolution? A. The A.I. revolution will finally become one beyond hu
46、mans control. B. A.I. is believed to lead to a point in history when it takes over human intelligence. C. Higher-paying jobs will take the place of lower-paying ones in the A.I. revolution. D. It may bring about mass unemployment no matter how much employees are paid. 57. The underlined word promisi
47、ng in paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to _. A. promotional B. demanding C. guaranteed D. potential 58. What does the author suggest in the face of the A.I. revolution? A. It is sensible to encourage people to take volunteer jobs. B. People should be instructed to do less demanding jobs. C. The pro
48、blem of job loss can be solved by creating lower-paying jobs. D. Jobs requiring knowledge in different fields are suitable for displaced workers. 59. Which of the following may serve as the best title of the passage? A. The A.I. Revolution Creates New Job Opportunities. B. Challenges the A.I. Revolution Brings to Job Market C. A Double-edge
