The Open Book, a bookstore, is the idea of American writer Jessica Fox, a former NASA employee who packed in her Californian lifestyle at the age of 24 after dreaming of another life in Wigtown—Scotland’s National Book Town. Fox fell in love with Wigtown and its bookshops. She never looked back.
“It’s not just me. I think the people who come to the Open Book have a very similar reaction to Wigtown,” said Fox, now in her 30s. “It’s a magical place, which has all the things you could hope for on a trip to Scotland.”
The idea for the Open Book was sparked (触发) by Fox’s love for Wigtown, which hosts the popular Wigtown Book Festival each September. “I’d never been to Scotland. I’d only seen it in films,” recalled Fox. “I went from a heavily populated place with a car, and stuck in traffic a lot, to a place with hardly any people, amazing scenery, and no car. I absolutely loved it.”
The community of Wigtown welcomed her as one of their own when Fox settled in the town. She realized she was living the fantasy that had formerly played in her head. “I thought I couldn’t be the only crazy American who dreams of working in a bookshop by the sea in Scotland. There has to be more of us,” she laughed.
While Fox was considering this idea, one of Wigtown’s bookstores announced it was closing shop. . It seemed serendipitous (偶然的). “Finn MeCreath, who is on the Board of the Festival, and I decided to take it over and try out my idea of having a bookshop holiday,” she said. Five years later, the Open Book is a runaway success. It’s booked up online until years ahead, and there’s an extensive waiting list.
4. What do the underlined words “packed in” in paragraph 1 mean
A. Gave up. B. Ran across. C. Wondered at. D. Prepared for.
5. What does Wigtown feature according to the text
A. The high-paying job. B. The film industry.
C The large population. D. The book festival.
6. How did Fox find the life in Wigtown
A. Boring. B. Peaceful. C. Busy. D. Stressful.
7. What can we know about the Open Book
A. It upsets customers. B. It partners with a school.
C. It is well received. D. It can be easily accessible.
【答案】4. A 5. D 6. B 7. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，文章讲述了Jessica Fox原本在美国加利福尼亚州过着嘈杂喧嚣的都市生活，然而在24岁那年，她毅然放弃这样的生活，移居苏格兰小镇Wigtown，并将当地一家濒临倒闭的书店改造为阅读与旅游相融合的度假胜地。
【4题详解】
词义猜测题。根据画线词后“after dreaming of another life in Wigtown—Scotland’s National Book Town. Fox fell in love with Wigtown and its bookshops. She never looked back (梦想着在苏格兰的国家图书小镇威格敦过上另一种生活。福克斯爱上了威格敦和那里的书店。她从不回顾过去的生活。)”可知，Jessica Fox在换了一种生活环境后喜欢上了后者，即放弃了原来的生活，因此画线词与gave up的意思最接近。故选A。
【5题详解】
细节理解题，根据第三段的“The idea for the Open Book was sparked by Fox’s love for Wigtown, which hosts the popular Wigtown Book Festival each September.(福克斯对威格敦的热爱激发了“打开书”的想法，威格敦每年9月都会举办颇受欢迎的威格敦图书节。)”可知，当地的图书节是威格敦的一大特色。故选D。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段的““I’d never been to Scotland. I’d only seen it in films,” recalled Fox. “I went from a heavily populated place with a car, and stuck in traffic a lot, to a place with hardly any people, amazing scenery, and no car. I absolutely loved it.”(福克斯回忆道，“我从来没去过苏格兰。我只在电影里见过”。“我开车去了一个人口稠密的地方，经常堵车，到一个几乎没有人的地方，风景很美，没有车。我非常喜欢。”)可知，Fox认为Wigtown小镇生活宁静祥和。故选B。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段的“Five years later, the Open Book is a runaway success. It’s booked up online until years ahead, and there’s an extensive waiting list.(五年后，Open Book取得了巨大的成功。它需要在网上提前几年进行预定，而且有很多人在等待。)”可推断，Open Book书店深受大众喜爱。故选C。
C
I started considering the power of dogs during one of my daily walks around my neighborhood. Almost invariably, I’ll run into at least one person walking his dog. It’s a joyous moment to approach the dog and pet it. I always walk away from these exchanges feeling just a bit more relaxed and happy. And that got me wondering: Could these short interactions with other people’s dogs actually be good for me
“Absolutely. I think it is safe to say that animals are beneficial to our mental and physical health,” says Nancy Gee, a professor of psychology at Virginia Commonwealth University. Gee says there’s some evidence that the act of actually touching a dog might be an important part of the calming effect. For instance, one study done in Canada found college students reported less stress and reduced feelings of homesickness after brief interactions with dogs, and that the effect was much bigger in those who actually got to pet the animals.
Now, the therapy (治疗) dogs used in research are screened for things like friendliness, good behavior and responsiveness to their handler’s cues (提示). And of course, not everyone is a dog person. “Pets are not a panacea (灵丹妙药),” Gee says. “They’re not necessarily going to be great for every single person. But for people who really connect with the animals, they can make a big difference.”
Research on the health benefits of human interactions with animals, especially with dogs, has exploded in recent years, thanks to the support of the National Institutes of Health and the Waltham PetCare Science Institute. Though the field is still young, Gee says the quality of the evidence is improving all the time, including more randomized controlled trials looking at short interactions. “We’re seeing really nice effects,” she says. “We actually saw those effects one month later. And there’s some evidence that they may exist six months later.”
8. Why does the author mention his interactions with dogs
A. To praise his neighbor. B. To erase people’s doubts.
C. To introduce the topic. D. To voice his views on life.
9. What did the study done in Canada find about the students interacting with dogs
A. They disliked raising pets. B. They enjoyed much respect.
C. They were very academic. D. They became less homesick.
10. What can be inferred about the research on human-animal relationships
A. It has seen sound development. B. It cuts the cost of saving animals.
C. It ensures humans a bright future. D. It makes some medicine affordable.
11. Which is the most suitable title for the text
A. Walking Improves the Quality of Life B. Petting Dogs Can Boost Your Health
C. Animals Might Lift Patients’ Spirits D. Happiness Lies in Helping Others
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. A 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。研究表明，抚摸宠物狗可改善人的身心健康。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。第一段“I started considering the power of dogs during one of my daily walks around my neighborhood. Almost invariably, I’ll run into at least one person walking his dog. It’s a joyous moment to approach the dog and pet it. I always walk away from these exchanges feeling just a bit more relaxed and happy. And that got me wondering: Could these short interactions with other people’s dogs actually be good for me (我开始考虑狗的力量是在我每天在我家附近散步的时候。几乎无一例外，我至少会遇到一个人在遛狗。走近狗，抚摸它，这是一个快乐的时刻。我总是从这些交流中走出来，感觉更放松和快乐。这让我想知道：这些与别人的狗短暂的互动真的对我有好处吗？)”中作者讲述了自己在家周围散步时与邻居家宠物狗的互动让他放松快乐，这让作者开始考虑与狗的短暂互动是否真的有益身心健康；文章下文主要阐述与狗的短暂互动有益健康；由此可知，作者提及自己与邻居宠物狗的互动是为了引出本文的话题。故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“For instance, one study done in Canada found college students reported less stress and reduced feelings of homesickness after brief interactions with dogs, and that the effect was much bigger in those who actually got to pet the animals.(例如，加拿大的一项研究发现，大学生在与狗短暂互动后，压力更小，想家的感觉也更少，而在那些真正抚摸动物的人身上，这种影响要大得多。)”可知，在加拿大开展的这项研究发现，大学生在接触宠物狗之后想家的情绪有所缓解。故选D。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Research on the health benefits of human interactions with animals, especially with dogs, has exploded in recent years, thanks to the support of the National Institutes of Health and the Waltham PetCare Science Institute. Though the field is still young, Gee says the quality of the evidence is improving all the time, including more randomized controlled trials looking at short interactions. “We’re seeing really nice effects,” she says. “We actually saw those effects one month later. And there’s some evidence that they may exist six months later.”(近年来，在美国国立卫生研究院（National Institutes of health）和沃尔瑟姆宠物护理科学研究所（Waltham PetCare Science Institute）的支持下，关于人类与动物（尤其是与狗）互动对健康有益的研究激增。虽然这个领域还很年轻，Gee说证据的质量一直在提高，包括更多的随机对照试验，研究短期相互作用。‘我们看到了非常好的效果，’她说。‘实际上，一个月后我们就看到了这些影响。有证据表明，它们可能在六个月后仍然存在。’)”可知关于人类与动物（尤其是与狗）互动对健康有益的研究激增，尽管这一领域还很年轻，但是证据的质量一直在提高，而且获得非常好的效果；由此可推断，人与动物关系方面的研究工作获得稳健的发展。故选A。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。文章第一段中“It’s a joyous moment to approach the dog and pet it. I always walk away from these exchanges feeling just a bit more relaxed and happy. And that got me wondering: Could these short interactions with other people’s dogs actually be good for me (走近狗，抚摸它，这是一个快乐的时刻。我总是从这些交流中走出来，感觉更放松和快乐。这让我想知道：这些与别人的狗短暂的互动真的对我有好处吗 )”作者提及自己与邻居狗的互动引出本文的话题——与别人的狗短暂的互动是否真的有益健康；下文阐述了心理学家通过研究发现与宠物狗互动可改善人的身心健康；由此可知，文章主要阐述抚摸宠物狗有益于人的身心健康，B选项“Petting Dogs Can Boost Your Health(抚摸狗能提高健康)”能够概括文章主旨，适合作为最佳标题。故选B。
D
Self-driving cars are hitting city streets like never before. In August the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) granted (授予) two companies, Cruise and Waymo, permits to run driverless robo-taxis 24/7 in San Francisco and to charge passengers for those rides. This was just the latest in a series of green lights that have allowed progressively more freedom for autonomous vehicles (AVs) in the city in recent years.
Almost immediately, Cruise was criticized for its vehicles behaving unpredictably. One blocked the road outside a large music festival, and another got stuck in wet concrete. The incidents have brought renewed attention to the potential difficulties of integrating self-driving cars into the urban environment.
Yet despite some ongoing opposition, self-driving car companies have continued to expand testing and operations to more US cities. Many supporters say these vehicles could offer a safer alternative to human drivers, make transportation accessible to more people, improve traffic flows around cities and decrease the environmental impact of cars. So far, though, most of those promised benefits remain squarely in a possible future. Meanwhile, here in the present, complications have become plainly apparent.
AVs, such as those operated by Cruise and Waymo, shouldn’t be confused with commercially available cars, such as electric cars, which come with some driver-assistance features. Unlike those vehicles, which require a human driver to oversee control at all times, robo-taxis run on the road without a person monitoring and managing each movement from behind a steering wheel (方向盘). This is made possible by a very detailed internal map.
Waymo and Cruise maintain that their AVs are safer than human drivers. Both companies have released data that they claim support this, yet some researchers have their doubts. “I actually think there is not yet enough data available to the public, including researchers like me, to be able to judge relative safety,” says Steven Shladover, an engineer at the University of California.
12. What is the CPUC’s main purpose of issuing the permits
A. To promote autonomous vehicles. B. To advocate sustainable practices.
C. To upgrade public transportation. D. To reduce traffic at peak periods.
13. Why do people oppose self-driving cars
A They have charged passengers too much.
B. They occupy private parking spaces.
C. They badly affect the urban environment.
D. They consume large amounts of fuel.
14. How do robo-taxis differ from electric cars
A. They require more qualified human drivers.
B. They are more dependent on the internal map.
C. They will meet customers at a lower price.
D. They are smarter to handle a difficult situation.
15. What message does Shladover want to express in the text
A. We should give freedom to car producers.
B. Driverless cars will improve city planning.
C. All researchers support driverless robo-taxis.
D. It’s too early to declare AVs are safe enough.
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. B 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。自动驾驶汽车已经越来越多地出现在城市街道上，但是其缺陷仍然很明显，比如严重影响城市环境、安全性尚不能确定等。
12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“This was just the latest in a series of green lights that have allowed progressively more freedom for autonomous vehicles (AVs) in the city in recent years.(这只是近年来为自动驾驶汽车（AVs）在城市中提供更多自由的一系列绿灯中的最新一个。)”可知，CPUC发放许可证的主要目的是推广自动驾驶汽车。故选A。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句“The incidents have brought renewed attention to the potential difficulties of integrating self-driving cars into the urban environment.(这些事件让人们重新关注自动驾驶汽车融入城市环境的潜在困难。)”可知，人们反对自动驾驶汽车是因为它们严重影响了城市环境。故选C。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段最后两句“Unlike those vehicles, which require a human driver to oversee control at all times, robo-taxis run on the road without a person monitoring and managing each movement from behind a steering wheel (方向盘). This is made possible by a very detailed internal map.(与那些需要人类驾驶员随时监督控制的车辆不同，无人驾驶出租车在道路上行驶时，没有人坐在方向盘后面监控和管理每一个动作。这是通过非常详细的内部地图实现的。)”可知，机器人出租车与电动汽车的不同之处是它们更依赖内部地图。故选B。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句中的“I actually think there is not yet enough data available to the public, including researchers like me, to be able to judge relative safety(实际上，我认为公众，包括像我这样的研究人员，还没有足够的数据来判断相对安全性)”可知，Shladover在文中想要表达的是现在宣布自动驾驶汽车足够安全还为时过早。故选D。

The Open Book, a bookstore, is the idea of American writer Jessica Fox, a former NASA employee who packed in her Californian lifestyle at the age of 24 after dreaming of another life in Wigtown—Scotland’s National Book Town. Fox fell in love with Wigtown and its bookshops. She never looked back.
“It’s not just me. I think the people who come to the Open Book have a very similar reaction to Wigtown,” said Fox, now in her 30s. “It’s a magical place, which has all the things you could hope for on a trip to Scotland.”
The idea for the Open Book was sparked (触发) by Fox’s love for Wigtown, which hosts the popular Wigtown Book Festival each September. “I’d never been to Scotland. I’d only seen it in films,” recalled Fox. “I went from a heavily populated place with a car, and stuck in traffic a lot, to a place with hardly any people, amazing scenery, and no car. I absolutely loved it.”
The community of Wigtown welcomed her as one of their own when Fox settled in the town. She realized she was living the fantasy that had formerly played in her head. “I thought I couldn’t be the only crazy American who dreams of working in a bookshop by the sea in Scotland. There has to be more of us,” she laughed.
While Fox was considering this idea, one of Wigtown’s bookstores announced it was closing shop. . It seemed serendipitous (偶然的). “Finn MeCreath, who is on the Board of the Festival, and I decided to take it over and try out my idea of having a bookshop holiday,” she said. Five years later, the Open Book is a runaway success. It’s booked up online until years ahead, and there’s an extensive waiting list.
4. What do the underlined words “packed in” in paragraph 1 mean
A. Gave up. B. Ran across. C. Wondered at. D. Prepared for.
5. What does Wigtown feature according to the text
A. The high-paying job. B. The film industry.
C. The large population. D. The book festival.
6. How did Fox find the life in Wigtown
A. Boring. B. Peaceful. C. Busy. D. Stressful.
7. What can we know about the Open Book
A. It upsets customers. B. It partners with a school.
C. It is well received. D. It can be easily accessible.
C
I started considering the power of dogs during one of my daily walks around my neighborhood. Almost invariably, I’ll run into at least one person walking his dog. It’s a joyous moment to approach the dog and pet it. I always walk away from these exchanges feeling just a bit more relaxed and happy. And that got me wondering: Could these short interactions with other people’s dogs actually be good for me
“Absolutely. I think it is safe to say that animals are beneficial to our mental and physical health,” says Nancy Gee, a professor of psychology at Virginia Commonwealth University. Gee says there’s some evidence that the act of actually touching a dog might be an important part of the calming effect. For instance, one study done in Canada found college students reported less stress and reduced feelings of homesickness after brief interactions with dogs, and that the effect was much bigger in those who actually got to pet the animals.
Now, the therapy (治疗) dogs used in research are screened for things like friendliness, good behavior and responsiveness to their handler’s cues (提示). And of course, not everyone is a dog person. “Pets are not a panacea (灵丹妙药),” Gee says. “They’re not necessarily going to be great for every single person. But for people who really connect with the animals, they can make a big difference.”
Research on the health benefits of human interactions with animals, especially with dogs, has exploded in recent years, thanks to the support of the National Institutes of Health and the Waltham PetCare Science Institute. Though the field is still young, Gee says the quality of the evidence is improving all the time, including more randomized controlled trials looking at short interactions. “We’re seeing really nice effects,” she says. “We actually saw those effects one month later. And there’s some evidence that they may exist six months later.”
8. Why does the author mention his interactions with dogs
A. To praise his neighbor. B. To erase people’s doubts.
C. To introduce the topic. D. To voice his views on life.
9. What did the study done in Canada find about the students interacting with dogs
A. They disliked raising pets. B. They enjoyed much respect.
C. They were very academic. D. They became less homesick.
10 What can be inferred about the research on human-animal relationships
A. It has seen sound development. B. It cuts the cost of saving animals.
C. It ensures humans a bright future. D. It makes some medicine affordable.
11. Which is the most suitable title for the text
A. Walking Improves the Quality of Life B. Petting Dogs Can Boost Your Health
C. Animals Might Lift Patients’ Spirits D. Happiness Lies in Helping Others
D
Self-driving cars are hitting city streets like never before. In August the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) granted (授予) two companies, Cruise and Waymo, permits to run driverless robo-taxis 24/7 in San Francisco and to charge passengers for those rides. This was just the latest in a series of green lights that have allowed progressively more freedom for autonomous vehicles (AVs) in the city in recent years.
Almost immediately, Cruise was criticized for its vehicles behaving unpredictably. One blocked the road outside a large music festival, and another got stuck in wet concrete. The incidents have brought renewed attention to the potential difficulties of integrating self-driving cars into the urban environment.
Yet despite some ongoing opposition, self-driving car companies have continued to expand testing and operations to more US cities. Many supporters say these vehicles could offer a safer alternative to human drivers, make transportation accessible to more people, improve traffic flows around cities and decrease the environmental impact of cars. So far, though, most of those promised benefits remain squarely in a possible future. Meanwhile, here in the present, complications have become plainly apparent.
AVs such as those operated by Cruise and Waymo, shouldn’t be confused with commercially available cars, such as electric cars, which come with some driver-assistance features. Unlike those vehicles, which require a human driver to oversee control at all times, robo-taxis run on the road without a person monitoring and managing each movement from behind a steering wheel (方向盘). This is made possible by a very detailed internal map.
Waymo and Cruise maintain that their AVs are safer than human drivers. Both companies have released data that they claim support this, yet some researchers have their doubts. “I actually think there is not yet enough data available to the public, including researchers like me, to be able to judge relative safety,” says Steven Shladover, an engineer at the University of California.
12. What is the CPUC’s main purpose of issuing the permits
A. To promote autonomous vehicles. B. To advocate sustainable practices.
C. To upgrade public transportation. D. To reduce traffic at peak periods.
13. Why do people oppose self-driving cars
A. They have charged passengers too much.
B. They occupy private parking spaces.
C. They badly affect the urban environment.
D. They consume large amounts of fuel.
14. How do robo-taxis differ from electric cars
A. They require more qualified human drivers.
B. They are more dependent on the internal map.
C. They will meet customers at a lower price.
D. They are smarter to handle a difficult situation.
15. What message does Shladover want to express in the text
A. We should give freedom to car producers.
B. Driverless cars will improve city planning.
C. All researchers support driverless robo-taxis.
D. It’s too early to declare AVs are safe enough.
