A
The New Yorker picks four of the year's best books in 2022 and shares them with you. Afterlives c by Abdulrazak Gurnah
The Nobel Prize winner's most recent novel is a sweeping origin story of modern Tanzania，and a love story between Afiya and Hamza. Their search for a place in the world unfolds against the monumental absurdness of empire, focusing on the East African campaign of 1914- 1918. The book questions the costs and rewards of the war's occasional solidarities.
Nights of Plague by Orhan Pamuk
The Nobel awardee’s latest novel opens like a starry romantic chronicle (编年史): a steamer is making its way at night to an island, the Mingheria in 1901. On board are three medical scientists, and the group comes to Mingheria because of an outbreak of bubonic plague (黑死病). What is most vital in this book is Pamuk’s lovingly obsessive creation of the island itself. He places his humans in this“three- dimensional fairy tale" and observes what happens to the state when an epidemic tests its tolerances.
The Song of the Cell by Siddhartha Mukherjee
In an account that's both lyrical and extensive, Mukherjee takes us through an evolution of human understanding: from the seventeenth century discovery that humans are made up of cells to our leading technologies for manipulating(操纵) and deploying(部署) cells for medical purposes.
The Revolutionary : Samuel Adams by Stacy Schiff
As a son of a Boston businessman， Samuel Adams was born in 1722. In detailing how Adams went on to shape every significant event in New England's run-up to war, this book weaves a pleasing tapestry(织锦) of incident and inference. Schiff describes him as a master of the eighteenth-century version of fake news. The result is a wildly entertaining exploration of the roots of American political theatre.
21. What do Afterlives and Nights of Plague have in common?
A. They are romantic chronicles.
B. Their authors won the Nobel Prize.
C. They describe the outbreak of the war .
D. Their authors question the costs and rewards of the war.
22. Which book is about the exploration of medicine and the new human?
A. Afterlives. B. Nights of Plague .
C. The Song of the Cell. D. The Revolutionary: Samuel Adams .
23. What kind of book is The Revoluttionary: Samuel Adams?

Fighting through pain after running for 28 hours, and amid the sound of tired feet struggling through the Arizona dirt- -finally soft, soothing(舒缓的) music could be heard over the horizon. The finish line, which was once 100 miles away, was right in front of him. A small, roaring human victory tunnel welcomed Zach Bates as he ran across the finish line.
Diagnosed with autism(自闭症) at the age of four, Bates completed the 100-mile ultramarathon(超级马拉松) earlier this year, becoming the youngest finisher in the race's history, aged 19. Bates was a member of the cross-country team in high school but, after graduating he surprised his family with a new goal-to run a 100-mile race before his 20th birthday.
Neither Bates nor his parents had any prior experience in preparing for the task at hand, but Brian, his father, found ways to help, truly making it a family affair. In addition to hiking safe trails, they read books together, organized all his nutrition, and made sure their son had the right equipment- -like the watch he wore on long runs so they could track him and make sure he was safe and on course. Rana and Brian even helped with training schedules before finding more experienced ultramarathon runners- such as mentor John Hendrix and coach Nickademus de la Rosa. With Hendrix and de la Rosa's expertise, the young American prepared by competing in shorter distances and successfully worked his way up to the 100-miler in a short time. ，
Rather than having his autism be a reason to make the goal unreachable, his mom said the challenge has helped him stay focused.“If we listen to our children and allow them to do what they want to do and be a support to them, you'll be so surprised at where they'll end up,” Rana says.
24. How did Bates probably feel when he ran across the finish line?
A. Tired but cheerful. B. Proud and overconfident.
C. Painful but peaceful. D. Comfortable and relaxed.
25. Why did Bates' new goal surprise his family?
A. Because he was diagnosed with autism.
B. Because he was a cross-Country team member. .
C. Because he graduated from high school just now.
D. Because they considered the new goal impractical.
26. Which of the following did not contribute to Bates' success?
A. Guidance from experts. B. His perseverance to the goal.
C. Support from his family. D. Encouragement of team members.
27. What can we learn from the story?
A. Save for a rainy day. B. All we have is now.
C. Nothing is impossible. D. Fortune favors the bold.

Is the end of homework near? As new powerful artificial intelligence tools like ChatGPT take the Internet by storm, teachers concerned with AI-driven cheating are questioning their teaching and assessment methods.
ChatGPT, the most powerful AI language model ever developed by the company OpenAI, remembers the thread of your dialogue，using previous questions and answers to inform its next responses. Deriving its answers from huge volumes of information on the Internet, it is fine-tuned using both supervised and reinforcement learning. It is capable of generating natural-sounding text on demand in just a few seconds. The quality of the copy it produces is sufficient to impress teachers in secondary and higher education, and even researchers.
The use of AI tools in copy-writing has sparked an outcry around the world. In the United States，public schools in New York and Seattle have decided to block ChatGPT from their . devices and WiFi networks. In France, the prestigious Sciences Po university in Paris has also just announced a strict ban on its use. But experts question whether bans like these are really effective. On one hand, students will always be able to access tools like ChatGPT through other means than school devices. On the other hand, some question the relevance of blocking access to a digital tool whose use is likely to grow in the professional world in the coming years.
Amelie Cordier, a lecturer in artificial intelligence at Lyon University, notes that students haven't waited for ChatGPT to try to escape the chore of homework- - whether by photocopying the library encyclopedia, copy- pasting content from Wikipedia or enlisting their parents’ help.“What is ultimately very important in the learning process is not so much the subject on which you learn， it's the methodology that you learn to develop around that
subject,” Cordier said.
28. Why does the author raise a question in paragraph 1?
A. To arouse the readers' interest.
B. To show the popularity of ChatGPT.
C. To present the creativity of artificial intelligence.
D. To reveal the negative effects of artificial intelligence.
29. What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about ChatGPT?
A. Its language model. B. Its working theory.
C. Its design inspiration. D. Its development process.
30. Which of the following is probably the reason for the experts’ question?
A. Students can always employ AI tools in other ways.
B. Teachers and researchers are impressed by ChatGPT.
C. The bans have been announced only in the US and France.
D. AI tools have already been widely applied in professional fields.
31. What plays a critical role in learning according to Cordier?
A. Parents’ help. B. The system of methods.
C. The library encyclopedia. D. The content from Wikipedia.

Fish genetically engineered to glow blue, green, or red under blacklight have been a big hit among aquarium lovers for years. But the fluorescent( 发荧光的) pet is not restricted to glass displays anymore. The red- and green-glowing versions， more vivid than normal zebrafish even in natural light， have escaped fish farms. in southeastern Brazil and are multiplying(繁殖) in creeks in the Atlantic Forest, a new study shows. It is a rare example of a transgenic animal accidentally becoming established in nature, and a concern for biologists , who worry the transgenic fish could threaten the local fauna(动物群) in one of the most bio-diverse spots on the planet.
In the 2000s, companies saw the potential of the fish as pets. ; Trademarked as Glofish, they became the world's first genetically engineered species to be commercially available. Now, they are one of the first to escape and thrive in nature. Early on, environmentalists worried about the possibility, and Glofish sales were banned in some U. S. states such as California and several countries- including Brazil. In 2014，a single Glofish was spotted in canals of Florida. But it had not multiplied, probably because native predators such as the eastern mosquitofish and the largemouth bass ate the intruder, said the biologist who spotted the fish, Quenton Tuckett. Unlike Florida, Glofish thrived in the Brazilian creeks. In 2017 he and colleagues began to survey five creeks in three cities, finding transgenic zebrafish in all of them.
The Glofish are reproducing all year round, with a peak during the rainy season- just as native zebrafish do in Asia. But the. transgenic fish seem to achieve sexual maturity earlier than their forebears, which allows them to reproduce more and spread faster. The invaders are also eating well: a diversified diet of native insects, algae, and zooplankton.
Despite Brazil's ban on sales of the fish, stores all over the country sell them as pets. They may soon colonize other parts of the country. Tuckett says it should be“a wake-up call”. For now, the glowing fish“could be considered little weeds growing up out of the concrete”, Tuckett says, but points out that even little weeds can grow to cause a lot of damage.
32. What is the concern of the biologists?
A. The ecological impacts are unpredictable.
B. The transgenic fish could do harm to the local animals.
C. The transgenic fish accidentally became established in nature.
D. The transgenic fish are more vivid than normal zebrafish in natural light.
33. According to paragraph 2, what can be inferred about Glofish?
A. They were kept as pets before the 2000s.
B. They were prohibited from sales throughout the U. S.
C. They didn't thrive in Florida probably due to the local enemies.
D. They were found in all of the Brazilian creeks in 2017.
34. What does the underlined phrase“The invaders" in paragraph 3 refer to?，
A. The Glofish. B. The native zebrafish.
C. The largemouth bass. D. The eastern mosquitofish.
35. What is Tuckett's attitude towards Glofish?
A. Indifferent. B. Ambiguous. C. Cautious. D. Supportive.

How to Overcome Your Fear of Failure
People are quick to blame themselves for failure and can't shake the perception that they had not succeeded. 36 Here are four steps you can take.
Redefine failure. 37 . In other words, this is the fear of failure. By framing a situation you're dreading(畏惧) differently before you attempt it, you may be able to avoid some stress and anxiety. If you can shift your mindset and redefine what constitutes failure and success, you are able to absorb the results of the experience more gracefully and with less anxiety than you expect. .
Set approach goals. Goals can be classified as approach goals or avoidance goals. 38
Psychologists have found that creating approach goals, or positively reframing avoidance goals,
is beneficial for well-being. When you' re dreading a tough task and expect it to be difficult and unpleasant, you may unconsciously set goals around what you don't want to happen rather than what you do want. Research has shown that people who take on an avoidance focus become twice as mentally exhausted as the approach-focused ones .
39 . Author and investor Tim Ferriss recommends“fear-setting”, creating a checklist of what you are afraid to do and what you fear will happen if you do it. In his Ted Talk on the subject，he shares how doing this enabled him to tackle some of his hardest challenges, resulting in some of his biggest successes.
Focus on learning. The chips aren't always going to fall where you want them to- but if you come down to earth, you can be prepared to wring(拧,挤) the most value out of the experience, no matter the outcome. When you shift gears to focus not on your potential for failure but on what you could learn from competing at a higher level than before, 40
By rethinking your fears using the four steps above, you can come to see apprehension(恐惧) as a teacher and guide to help you achieve your most important goals.
A. Create a“fear list"
B. Tackle challenges bravely
C. You may want to face your fear and push beyond it to success
D. you would stop sweating that first attempt and see it as a stepping stone to success
E. Behind many fears is worry about doing something wrong or not meeting expectations
F. you're stepping out of your comfort zone to take steps that will help you rise and thrive
G. It is based on whether you are motivated by wanting to achieve a positive outcome or avoid a negative one

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成--篇完整的短文。
The day when the jobs were handed out was one of the most exciting moments for all the children in the class. It took place during the first week of the term. Every kid was given a job for which they would be responsible during the rest of that school year.
Some jobs were more interesting than others, and the children were eager to be given one of the best ones. When giving them out, the teacher took into account which pupils had been most responsible during the previous year. Rita， a kind and quiet girl, had carried out the teacher's instructions perfectly. All the children thought Rita would be given the best job. But there was a big surprise. Each child received a normal job like preparing the computer for lessons, cleaning the blackboard, or looking after one of the pets. But Rita's job was very different. She was given a little box containing some sand and one ant. Though the teacher insisted that this ant was very special, Rita couldn't help feeling disappointed. With tears welling up in her eyes, she stood up and asked why she was given such an insignificant task.
The teacher hugged her, kissed her on her forehead and said,“If you can take good care of the ant，you are sure to win a reward. After all, you have to do what are apparently the smallest tasks before being given the most important ones. I believe you can make it.”Most of her classmates felt sorry for her. They said it was unfair for her.
However, Rita preferred to show the teacher her error by doing something special with that job of little interest. “I will turn this little task into something great,”Rita said to herself. So, Rita started investigating everything about her little ant, modified the little box to make it perfect for the ant and gave the ant the best food, and it ended up growing quite a bit bigger than anyone had expected.
One day in spring，the classroom door opened and in came a man, who looked very important. The teacher interrupted the class with great joy, and said, “This is Doctor Martinez, an entomologist(昆虫学家) from Florida Natural Reserve. He has something special to announce.
