pension to train for a new career,”she says.Now,at 74,she has a successfulpsychotherapy practice in Fredrikstad,Norway.“I just knew it was the right time,and I felt equipped to do it.Itwas the very best thing I ever did for myself.”The four-year course was on the coast of Denmark.To get there,Harris drove for five hours through southernNorway.“It always felt like coming home,”she says.Her experience was transformative(具有转折性的).Practising psychotherapy,she says,“helps me to understand the word calling.”And yet Harris has had many careers over the decades.At university in Kingston upon Thames,London,shetrained as an architect,and then,worked as one“for short and long periods”while raising four children.Nextcame a period as a photographer on a community arts project,then teaching photography.“The world offeredmore possibilities than I had ever realised,”Harris says.She regards these moves as gradual shifts(转换)ratherthan reinvention.“I have never made a decision such as Im going to stop doing that and do something else.Itsalways been a gentle progression.”Years ago,she and her husband had a dream to open a shop specialising in books about folklore,mythologyand tradition.The shop,in Hatherleigh,Devon,is“where the idea of therapy came into my mind.Because in asmall independent bookshop,people open up and talk.”Harris also says that her“therapy side was hiding in thebackground”when she taught photography.In her 40s,she had a short period of counselling(咨询).She no longerrecalls exactly why,but it must have had an impact because when she turned 60,she wrote letters“to people whohad been hugely influential in my life.”She searched for her former counsellor,but unfortunately couldnt findhim.Harris has a can-do spirit.The best psychotherapy course was in Denmark,so first she had to learn Danish.“Ireally love a good challenge.Sometimes you can feel very stuck,but that is how I have lived my life,”she says.When she was a child,Harriss parents liked moving.She had nine homes before she went to university.学科网（北京）股份有限公司“Now,I have no desire to uproot myself.”Her flat looks out over a river,and she has lived there longer than shehas lived anywhere else.Each week brings fresh calls to her practice.24.What did Harris think of the psychotherapy course?A.The journey to it was tiring.B.It helped her make friends.C.She could hardly afford it.D.It made her feel at ease.25.What do we know about Harriss past careers?A.They were all abandoned for family reasons.B.They led her to find her true calling.C.They made her very important.D.They all proved to be a failure.26.What inspired Harris to take up psychotherapy as a career?A.Readers willingness to communicate in the bookshop.B.Her talk with her husband about medical specialists.C.Chats with her students in photography classes.D.Her successful experience as a counsellor.27.What can we infer about Harris from the text?A.She acts as her parents did.B.She lives her life to the

plentyof their posters and records,and was excited when I met them after shows.But as they grew and received moreattention from the industry,they started making changes to their music.The rough edges(小缺点)that made themstand out were smoothed over.There wasnt much left that I connected with.I watched as a band I loved turnedinto something I could hardly recognize.I didnt know much about the music industry at the time,but it was clear to me that they were taking a hugerisk.Many artists,understandably,think they will find more commercial success by eliminating any aspect(方面)of their music or image that someone might find objectionable(令人反感的).However,what is unobjectionableis also unremarkable.My experience made me think about what makes someone fall in love with a song or a band.Its different foreveryone,Im sure,but I think one of the key factors that make an artist connect with a fan is realness.Whenartists write what they think people want to hear instead of what they want to express,they are missing out onpoints of connection that can turn a casual(偶然的)listener into a super fan.This experience also made me think about what role I wanted to play in the music industry.I knew by thenthat I didnt have the talent to be an artist myself.But I loved learning about the music industry.I loved doingresearch on what makes an artist successful and why.When I listened to a new artist or saw a band play,I wantedto find out what made them special,protect it,and share it with the world.I eventually figured out that managersare the ones who are in the best position to achieve that.28.How did the author feel when the band he loved changed its style?A.He was upset.B.He was carefree.C.He was hopeful of their success.D.He was confused about the reason.29.What does the underlined word“eliminating”in paragraph 2 probably mean?A.Making up for.B.Getting rid of.C.Making use of.D.Getting used to.30.What does the author think helps artists win super fans?A.Having great talent.B.Being true to themselves.C.Writing songs people like.D.Communicating with listeners.31.What might the author be now?A.A pop singer.B.A band director.学科网（北京）股份有限公司C.An artist manager.D.An educational researcher.DPeople have been predicting(预测)the death of cable TV(有线电视)for a long time,but this really mightbe it.Just a decade(十年)ago,nearly all Americans more than 85 percent of U.S.households paid forpackages of TV channels from cable or satellite(卫 星)companies.That started to drop slowly at first and thenfar more quickly in the past few years.Now,the share of American homes that pay for traditional TV service isapproaching 50 percent,according to expert Craig Moffett and S&P Global Market Intelligences Kagan researchgroup.For comparison,cellphones were around for decades before the percentage of Americans who didnt have alandline(座 机)at home reached 50 percent,around 2017.Maybe it seems predictable that cable TV would gothe way of the landline.I promise you that it was not necessarily obvious,even once Netflix started to take off.Old habits die hard.Old industries that make a lot of people rich die even harder.And dont forget that some newtechnology habits catch on fast but dont stick.What may be a final drop in Americas cable TV industry is a big deal.It shows that technology can changedeep-rooted ways of doing things slowly,and then suddenly.Ian Olgeirson,a research director at Kagan who has been following Americas TV market for about 20 years,told me that he was surprised by how quickly the monthly cable bill went from being standard to outdated formany Americans.Olgeirson and other TV experts Ive been speaking to didnt single out a turning point in cableTVs big drop.They said the downward trend(趋 势)was more like a series of progressive changes building up.Its clear that the cable TV system that for decades brought joy and headaches to tens of millions ofAmericans is wearing thin.The wild card is whether Americans keep turning away from cable and satellite TVrelatively slowly,or whether it will fail suddenly.I have always loved TV.I felt like a real grown-up when I first started to pay a huge bill for television,partlyto watch my favorite football team.I had reduced my cable TV package,but then a few months ago I was told thatmy bill was going to increase by about$10 a month.That was it.Im a no-cable household now,too.32.What does paragraph 1 mainly tell us about cable TV?A.Its falling popularity.B.Its increasing payments.C.Its various TV channels.D.Its high service standard.33.Why does the author mention cellphones and landlines in paragraph 2?A.To prove technology can change the world.B.To show it is not easy for cable TV to go away.C.To illustrate there is no market left for cable TV.D.To explain technology can bring fortune to people.34.Which of the following is beyond Olgeirsons expectations?A.Americas TV market was down suddenly.B.The death of cable TV will come in about 20 years.C.Americans turned away from cable TV so quickly.D.There are still many Americans showing interest in cable TV.35.What would be the best title for the text?A.Cable TV wont be replaced by satellite TVB.Cable TV brought joy to AmericansC.Cable TV has existed for decadesD.Cable TV is the new landline第二节（共第二节（共 5 小题；每小题小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分分，满分 12.5 分）分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Austrian painter Gustav Klimt created some of his best-known masterpieces during the first decade of the20th century.36.Nazi looting(纳粹 掠 夺)during World War II led to the destruction of many prized Klimtworks,including the Faculty Paintings:three enormous scenes titled Philosophy,Medicine and Jurisprudence.学科网（北京）股份有限公司To study these paintings,art historians have long had to make do with black-and-white photographs.Thanksto machine learning,however,researchers have now restored(恢复)historical images of the Faculty Paintings toalmost their original colors.37.To create the images,Google Arts and Culture and the Belvedere Museum in Vienna developed a tool thatselected information about Klimts use of color from different sources.The data set included newspaperdescriptions of the Faculty Paintings and 80 full-color reproductions of Klimt paintings from the sameperiod.38.Google engineer Emil Wallner spent nearly six months coding the AI algorithm(编写人工智能算法)tocreate color predictions.39.For example,one might expect the starry sky featured in Klimts Philosophy to beblue,but the AI-colored version tends to be a little green,based partly on newspaper accounts that describe thepaintings greenish color.“40,”says Franz Smola,who worked on the restoration with Wallner.“We were able to color Klimts workseven in places about which we had no knowledge.”Art lovers can explore these colorful recreations online.The restored paintings are paired with an onlineexhibition,“Klimt vs.Klimt:The Man of Contradictions”,which explores the painters life and works.A.It was stored with other precious artworksB.But not all of Klimts paintings survive todayC.It also i
