【答案】1. B2. D3. A

B

The literary world has a new star. Novelist Abdulrazak Gurnah is this year’s winner of the Nobel Prize in literature in recognition of his “compassionate penetration (揭示) of the effects of colonialism (殖民主义)and the fate of the refugee (难民)”.

Gurnah grew up in Zanzibar, an island off the coast of Tanzania. In 1964, Gurnah was forced to leave for England as a refugee, where he began to reflect on his experiences in a diary and then through stories. Through the years, he wrote 10 novels and stories that explore the suffering caused by war and colonialism.“The thing that motivated the whole experience of writing for me was this idea of losing your place in the world,” Gurnah told The New York Times.

His 1994 novel Paradise, which tells the story of a boy growing up in early 20th century Tanzania, marked his breakthrough as a novelist and won the Booker Prize. Afterlives, his most recent work, continues the narrative of Paradise and takes place during the period of German colonialism in Tanzania.

Before he retired, Gurnah,73, was a professor of English and Postcolonial Literatures at the University of Kent in England. Although Gurnah’s first language is Swahili, he adopted English as his literary language. His writing often contains traces of Arabic, Swahili and German, as well.

Anders Olsson, the chair of the Nobel committee, said that Gurnah “is widely recognized as one of the world’s more preeminent post-colonial writers”.

Ethiopian-American novelist Maaza Mengiste described Gunah’s writings as being “like a gentle blade (刀刃) slowly moving in”.“He has written work that is absolutely unfearing and yet at the same time completely compassionate and full of heart for people of East Africa,” Mengiste said. “He is writing stories that are often quiet stories of people who aren’t heard, but there’s an insistence there that we listen.”

4. What are Gurnah’s works mainly about?

A. The life of the people in Tanzania. B. Effects of war and colonialism.

C. Experiences of living abroad. D. Growth in an underdeveloped nation.

5. What can we know about Gurnah?

A. He was inspired to write by his refugee experience.

B. He used to be a professor of law and literature.

C. He publishes his works in Arabic and Swahili.

D. He was not well-known until he won the Nobel Prize.

6. What does Maaza Mengiste think of Gurnah’s writing?

A. It is elegantly written in his native language.

B. It is widely welcomed by people around the world.

C. It is powerful and employs sharp language.

D. It calls for attention to the life of the underclass.

7. What does the underlined word “preeminent” in paragraph 5 probably mean?

A. Awful. B. Potential. C. Outstanding. D. Particular.

Recently, Facebook has changed its corporate name to Meta. The company said it would better include what it does, as it broadens its reach beyond social media into areas like virtual reality (VR).The CEO Mark Zuckerberg said the existing brand could not possibly represent everything that they're doing today, let alone in the future. He also showed the company's plans to build a “metaverse (元宇宙)”—an online world where people can game, work and communicate in a virtual environment.

The term "metaverse" was invented by author Neal Stephenson in Snow Crash, a science fiction published in 1992.In the work, the metaverse is a sort of 3D virtual world. It's not simply a virtual reality game but is a persistent and shared virtual world. Or rather，the metaverse is a whole universe of shared virtual space seemingly linked together—you could, essentially, teleport (瞬移) between them.

Metaverse combined at the very least five technologies they are social media, online game, Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR) and cryptocurrency. (加密货币).Those technologies will bring users to an interactive world. AR and VR are vital for Metaverse. VR serves to present the virtual world visually and then AR will provide the audio and sensors for people to be able to interact. With Metaverse, Facebook will offer not only a texting service but also a multi-perspective virtual touch that feels like a real thing.

Facebook said that it plans to create 10,000 jobs in Europe over the next five years to work on metaverse-related fields. The company also has introduced Oculus-branded virtual-reality headsets, and it joined with Ray-Ban to develop smart sunglasses that went on sale for $299. “Over time, I hope that we are seen as a metaverse company,” Mark Zuckerberg said. “I view this work as critical to our mission because delivering a sense of presence—like you’ re right there with another person—that's the highest goal of online social experiences.” he said.

8. Why has Facebook changed its corporate name?

A. To lead the VR market. B. To improve public influence.

C. To cover its business range. D. To change its corporate image.

9. What is “Metaverse” according to the passage?

A. An advanced VR device. B. An appealing online game.

C. An influential social media. D. An interactive virtual world.

10. What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about about developing Metaverse?

A. The role VR plays. B. The technologies involved.

C. The function AR performs. D. The services Facebook offers.

11. What is the best title for the text?

A. An Online World-Metaverse B. A New Work Field-Metaverse

C. Facebook Marches to Metaverse D. Facebook Focuses on Virtual Devices

【答案】8. C9. D10. B11. C

D

The decision to go to college still makes sense for most, but a recent survey showed that only 16% Americans think a four-year college degree course prepares students well for a high-paying job in the modern economy. To some extent, technology seems to be complicating the picture.

A paper published by several Canadian economists questions optimistic assumptions about demand for non-routine work and shows that since 2000 the share of employment accounted for by high-skilled jobs in America has been falling. This analysis supports the view that technology has come as a blow to employment. Skilled and unskilled workers alike are in trouble. Those with a better education are still more likely to find work, but there is now a fair chance that it will be unenjoyable. Those who never made it to college face being squeezed out of the workforce altogether. This is the argument of the techno-pessimists(科技悲观者), who calculated that 47％ of existing jobs in America are very likely to be influenced by automation.

There is another, less pessimistic possibility. James Bessen, an economist at Boston University, has worked out the effects of automation on specific professions and finds that since 1980 employment has been growing faster in occupations that use computers than in those that do not. Progressive automation can actually increase demand by reducing costs. But even though technology may not destroy jobs on the whole, it does force change upon many people.

In many occupations it has become essential to acquire new skills as established ones become out-of-date. Burning Glass Technologies, a Boston-based startup that analyses labor markets by obtaining data from online job advertisements, finds that the biggest demand is for new combinations of skills-what its boss, Matt Sigelman, calls “hybrid jobs". The composition of new jobs is also changing rapidly.

A college degree at the start of a working career does not answer the need for the continuous acquisition of new skills， especially as career spans(持续时间) are lengthening. Vocational training(职业培训) is good at giving people job-specific skills, but those, too, will need to be updated over and over again during a career lasting decades. Vocational training has a role, but training someone early to do one thing all their lives is not the answer to lifelong learning.

Add all of this up, and it becomes clear that times have got tougher for workers of all kinds. A college degree is still a necessity for many jobs, but employers often do not trust it enough to hire workers just on the strength of that. In many occupations workers on company payrolls face the prospect that their existing skills will become outdated.

12. What can we learn from the paper conducted by the Canadian economists?

A. Employment has been shaken by technology.

B. College degree is a necessity in career success.

C. Skilled workers are no longer required in most American industries.

D. Techno-pessimism paves the way for future technology development.

13. What does James Bessen believe according to the text?

A. Increased demand can bring about cost reduction.

B. Progressive automation is beneficial to companies.

C. Computer has always been an essential factor in employment.

D. Technology advancement has a positive impact on most people.

14. Which of the following may Burning Glass Technologies agree with?

A. The job market will have a bright future.

B. The composition of new jobs is shaped by technology.

C. Online job advertisements require a precise data analysis.

D. Acquisition of new skills is essential in current job market.

15. Which of the following is the best title for the text?

A. Lifelong Learning: an Economic Priority

B. Technology Revolution: the Way to Success

C. College Degree: a Guarantee for Career Change

D. Vocational Training: a Blessing for Job Seekers

I’m worried that you’ve been addicted to share pictures in WeChat circle recently. You even share all sort of photos in your daily life. Of course, WeChat makes better to understand each other and makes our life more colorful, which is very convenient for us to communicate with. However, there exists some potential problems if we overshare. One serious problem is leaking privacy, that may cause a lot of trouble. Besides, oversharing can make others uncomfortably, for they think you are showing off.

Thus, neither should we post our personal information, or should we blindly add strangers to a list of friends. It’s much wise to set aside some time to accompany parents or do something more meaningful, such as reading books or taking exercise.
