The critics’ top four books of 2018 are based on Christmas selections in national newspapers, the London Evening Standard, The TLS, The Spectator and the New Statesman. Normal People by Sally Rooney Faber £14.99 Sally Rooney’s debut novel, Conversations with Friends, was one of last year’s most talked-about books. The response to the Irish writer’s follow-up has, if anything, been even more ecstatic. The 27-year-old was praised for her ability to convey subtle modulations of emotion. The novel was long listed for the Man Booker Prize — but many felt that it should have done better. Vietnam by Max Hastings William Collins £30 This long-awaited historical blockbuster follows the Vietnam War over three decades,from the French “dirty war” of 1946—54 to America’s capitulation to the Vietcong in 1975. Hastings, who reported from the battlefield in Vietnam as a young British journalist, was praised for his encyclopedic knowledge of the conflict. The Silence of the Girls by Pat Barker Hamish Hamilton £18.99 Pat Barker’s novel is a retelling of The lliad — but with women at the heart of the action. The central character is Briseis, who appears only glancingly in Homers original. Best-known for her First World War Set Regeneration trilogy (1997). Barker, in her fifties, again focuses on the traumas of war. Reviewers praised the novel’s subversive energy even if it was judged conventional in places. A Certain Idea of France by Julian Jackson Allen Lane £35 This biography by British historian Julian Jackson — born in 1954 chronicles the life of Charles de Gaulle who is regarded as one of the greatest ever Frenchmen. While acknowledging that de Gaulle wasn’t very likeable, Jackson salutes his imagination and boldness- qualities that helped him steer France through its liberation from the Nazis and the war in Algeria. Critics suggested it would become the standard biography. 【1】Which author of the four books is the youngest according to the text? A.Sally Rooney B.Max Hastings C.Pat Barker D.Julian Jackson 【2】Which book may people who are interested in a political leader’s life choose? A.Normal People B.Vietnam C.The Silence of the Girls D.A Certain Idea of France 【3】What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A.To remember the four great novelists. B.To promote the values of the four novelists C.To encourage studies on the four novels D.To introduce the yearly top four novels. |

When a driver slams on the brakes to avoid hitting a pedestrian crossing the road illegally, she is making a moral decision that shifts risk from the pedestrian to the people in the car. Self-driving cars might soon have to make such ethical (道德的)judgments on their own — but settling on a universal moral code for the vehicles could be a tough task, suggests a survey. The largest ever survey of machine ethics, called the Moral Machine, laid out 13 possible situations in which someone’s death was unavoidable. Respondents were asked to choose who to spare in situations that involved a mix of variables: young or old, rich or poor, more people or fewer. Within 18 months, the online quiz had recorded 40 million decisions made by people from 233 countries and territories. When the researchers analysed these answers, they found that the nations could be divided into three groups. One contains North America and several European nations where Christianity has been the dominant (占支配地位的)religion; another includes countries such as Japan, Indonesia and Pakistan, with strong Confucian or Islamic traditions. A third group consists of countries in Central and South America, such as Colombia and Brazil. The first group showed a stronger preference for sacrificing older lives to save younger ones than did the second group, for example. The researchers also identified relationships between social and economic factors in a country. They found that people from relatively wealthy countries with strong institutions, such as Finland and Japan, more often chose to hit people who stepped into traffic illegally than did respondents in nations with weaker institutions, such as Nigeria or Pakistan. People rarely face such moral dilemmas, and some cities question whether the possible situations posed in the online quiz are relevant to the ethical and practical questions surrounding driverless cars. But the researchers argue that the findings reveal cultural differences that governments and makers of self-driving cars must take into account if they want the vehicles to gain public acceptance. At least Barbara Wege, who heads a group working on autonomous-vehicle ethics at Audi in Ingolstadt, Germany, says such studies are valuable. Wege argues that self-driving cars would cause fewer accidents, proportionally, than human drivers do each year—but that people might focus more on events involving robots. Surveys such as the Moral Machine can help to begin public discussions about these unavoidable accidents that might develop trust. “We need to come up with a social consensus,” she says, “about which risks we are willing to take.” 【1】Why is it difficult to set universal moral rules for programming self-driving cars? A. Social values always change with the times. B. Moral choices vary between different cultures. C. Drivers have a preference for sacrificing the weak. D. Car makers are faced with decisions of life or death. 【2】The researchers conducted the study by_____. A. using a massive online quiz worldwide B. comparing different cultures and customs C. dividing the respondents into three groups D. performing a series of controlled experiments 【3】According to the study, in which country are drivers more likely to hit a pedestrian crossing the road illegally? A. Nigeria B. Colombia C. Finland D. Indonesia 【4】Barbara Wege would probably agree that _____. A. Self-driving cars will greatly improve the traffic environment B. Accidents caused by self-driving cars might receive more attention C. Problems involving self-driving cars might shake the public trust in society D. Car makers needn’t take the risk of solving self-driving car ethical dilemmas |

In modern society there is a great deal of argument about competition. Some value it highly, believing that it is responsible for social progress and prosperity. Others say that competition is bad; that it sets one person against another; that it leads to unfriendly relationship between people. I have taught many children who held the belief that their selfworth relied on how well they performed at tennis and other skills. For them, playing well and winning are often lifeanddeath affairs. In their singleminded pursuit of success, the development of many other human qualities is sadly forgotten. However, while some seem to be lost in the desire to succeed, others take an opposite attitude. In a culture which values only the winner and pays no attention to the ordinary players, they strongly blame competition. Among the most vocal are youngsters who have suffered under competitive pressures from their parents or society. Teaching these young people, I often observe in them a desire to fail. They seem to seek failure by not trying to win or achieve success. By not trying, they always have an excuse: “I may have lost, but it doesn't matter because I really didn't try.” What is not usually admitted by themselves is the belief that if they had really tried and lost, that would mean a lot. Such a loss would be a measure of their worth. Clearly, this belief is the same as that of the true competitors who try to prove themselves. Both are based on the mistaken belief that one's selfrespect relies on how well one performs in comparison with others. Both are afraid of not being valued. Only as this basic and often troublesome fear begins to dissolve can we discover a new meaning in competition. 【1】What does this passage mainly talk about? A.Competition helps to set up selfrespect. B.Opinions about competition are different among people. C.Competition is harmful to personal quality development. D.Failures are necessary experiences in competition. 【2】The underlined phrase “the most vocal” in Paragraph 3 means ________. A.those who try their best to win B.those who value competition most highly C.those who are against competition most strongly D.those who rely on others most for success 【3】What is the similar belief of the true competitors and those with a “desire to fail”？ A.One's worth lies in his performance compared with others'. B.One's success in competition needs great efforts. C.One's achievement is determined by his particular skills. D.One's success is based on how hard he has tried. 【4】Which point of view may the author agree to? A.Every effort should be paid back. B.Fear of failure should be removed in competition. C.Winning should be a lifeanddeath matter. D.Competition should be encouraged. |

People have different ways of dealing with a common cold. Some take over-the- counter (非处方的) medicines such as aspirin while others try popular home remedies(治疗)like herbal tea or chicken soup. Yet here is the tough truth about the common cold: nothing really cures it. So why do people sometimes believe that their remedies work? According to James Taylor, professor at the University of Washington, colds usually go away on their own in about a week, improving a little each day after symptoms peak, so it’s easy to believe it’s medicine rather than time that deserves the credit, USA Today reported. It still seems hard to believe that we can deal with more serious diseases yet are powerless against something so common as a cold. Recently, scientists came closer to figuring out why. To understand it, you first need to know how antiviral(抗病毒的) drugs work. They attack the virus by attaching to and changing the surface structures of the virus. To do that, the drug must fit and lock into the virus like the right piece of a jigsaw(拼图), which means scientists have to identify the virus and build a 3-D model to study its surface before they can design an antiviral drug that is effective enough. The two cold viruses that scientists had long known about were rhinovirus(鼻病毒) A and B.But they didn’t find out about the existence of a third virus, rhinovirus C, until 2006. All three of them contribute to the common cold, but drugs that work well against rhinovirus A and B have little effect when used against C. “This explains most of the previous failures of drug trials against rhinovirus,” study leader Professor Ann Palmenberg at University of Wisconsin-Madison, US, told Science Daily. Now, more than 10 years after the discovery of rhinovirus C, scientists have finally built a highly-detailed 3-D model of the virus, showing that the surface of the virus is, as expected, different from that of other cold viruses. With the model in hand, hopefully a real cure for a common cold is on its way. Soon, we may no longer have to waste our money on medicines that don’t really work. 【1】What does the author think of popular remedies for a common cold? A.They are quite effective. B.They are slightly helpful. C.They still need to be improved. D.They actually have no effect. 【2】How do antiviral drugs work? A.By breaking up cold viruses directly. B.By changing the surface structures of the cold viruses. C.By preventing colds from developing into serious diseases. D.By absorbing different kinds of cold viruses at the same time. 【3】What can we infer from the passage? A.The surface of cold viruses looks quite similar. B.Scientists have already found a cure for the common cold. C.Scientists were not aware of the existence of rhinovirus C until recently. D.Knowing the structure of cold viruses is the key to developing an effective cure. 【4】What is the best title for this passage? A.Drugs against cold viruses B.Helpful home remedies C.No current cure for common cold D.Research on cold viruses |

It can be definitely terrifying to fall through ice on a frozen lake. 【1】In fact, there is more time to help you survive than you think. As you first hit the freezing water, you will almost breathe quickly at once. Remember to get control of your breathing and not to move around. 【2】This means that it takes about one minute to gain control of your breathing, ten minutes to move before you get too cold. The final one is to remind you that it will take one hour before you become unconscious. Take that first minute and fully focus on your breathing. Slow it down, and then look around to see if you can locate the thickest area of ice. When you locate the ice, stretch your arms over the surface, and then begin to flutter-kick(上下打水)until your body becomes horizontal with the surface. 【3】. It is possible that you can live for several hours after passing out. This, however, does require some planning. You only have about 10 minutes before your muscles and nerves become too cold to work. Besides, what if you feel too weak to go on and you cannot get out?【4】The point is to encourage your coat to freeze to the ice, so that if you lose consciousness, you will keep your head out of ice. 【5】. A. Remember that you should always stay off ice that’s only 3 inches. B. Place your arms over the surface of the ice and remain still. C. It can help to remember the “1-10-1 principle”. D. However, if you remain calm, it can save your life. E. Remove any clothing or heavy objects that are weighting you down. F. Thus you will remain visible for rescue, even if you pass out. G. Kick hard and use your arms and hands to climb out of the water. |
