Text2
It seems hard to believe that the Swedish Academy, which awards the Nobel prize in literature, did not know that it would be fanning the flames of Europe’s culture wars. On October 10th Olga Tokarczuk, a dreadlocked vegetarian feminist, won the prize for 2018. At the same time the 2019 award was given to Peter Handke, an Austrian whom many see as an apologist for genocide.
Last year the academy failed to award its prize because it was engulfed in a sex scandal. This year the two awards caused controversy which had nothing to do with the literary merits of either. One of Mr Handke’s most notorious books is his 1996 “Journey to the Rivers: Justice for Serbia”, which he published as part of his defence of Slobodan Milosevic and the wartime leaders of the Serbs. The award has sent shock waves through the former Yugoslavia and beyond.
Mr Handke has been a prolific and experimental writer since the 1960s. The Swedish Academy hailed him as “one of the most influential writers in Europe after the second world war”. But few wanted to discuss his literary merits in the wake of the award. Edi Rama, the prime minister of Albania, tweeted a vomit emoji before penning a full-scale denunciation of a man he said provided “an implicit amnesty and apology” for Milosevic’s “genocidal endeavour”.
In 2006 Mr Handke gave an oration at Milosevic’s funeral. During the wars he had repeated a Serbian propaganda line that Bosnian Muslims had killed their own people to elicit Western support. He also minimized what two international tribunals found to be genocide: the 1995 murder by Bosnian Serbs of some 8,000 Muslim men and boys at Srebrenica. Aleksandar Hemon, a Bosnian-American writer, called him “the Bob Dylan of genocide apologists”.
The other laureate, Ms Tokarczuk, upsets a different group of people. A staunch opponent of Poland’s nationalist ruling Law and Justice (PiS) party, she has been denounced as a traitor for supporting gay rights and suggesting that Poles should face up to unpleasant parts of their history, including the suppression of minorities and murder of Jews. Still, PiS ministers mostly managed to swallow their distaste. The minister of finance even said he was willing to waive the income tax due on her prize.
简答题两篇阅读都摘自外刊 The Economist
Text 1 （from the essay California gives teenagers a lie-in）
School starting times vary from an average of 7:48am in go-getting Mississippi to 8:31am in late-rising Connecticut. According to a survey by the National Centre for Education Statistics in. 2017-18, only in two states-Alaska and Connecticut- do schools tend to start after 8.30am, the earliest recommended by a number of medical organizations. That may soon change. On October 13th Gavin Newsom, California's governor, signed legislation which cuts 2.7m of the state's schoolchildren some slack, setting a limit on starting times of half past eight for high-schoolers and eight o'clock for middle schoolers, in the hope that pupils will benefit from the extra time in bed.
There is plenty of reason to think they will.Puberty alters circadian rhythms, meaning adolescents are more alert in the afternoon and require more sleep in the morning. A research review by epidemiologists at the Centres for Disease Control finds that later school starting times correspond with improved attendance, less tardiness, less falling asleep in class, better grades and even fewer crashes involving youngsters driving themselves to school. The RAND Corporation estimates that moving to a half-past eight start across the country would boost the economy by more than $8obnwithin a decade.
In response to the evidence, school districts across the country have begun to move start times back, but California is the first state to take the leap.  arents and unions are often bitterly opposed. The California Teachers Association vociferously resisted the change, citing the financial burden on schools as they adjust to the new hours, as well as the burden on parents who work as laborers or in the service industry, and cannot work later. Last year Mr Newsom’s predecessor, Jerry Brown, voted similar legislation, saying the decision should be left to school districts. “We should not sell the schedule from Sacramento,” implored one Californian assemblyman this time round.
Supporters argue that it is appropriate for the state to set a minimum health-and-welfare standards, as it does in other areas. The legislation includes carve-outs for schools in rural areas and at least a three- year implementation period. It will be up to school districts to decide whether to end the day later, or cut its length. Anthony ortantino, the Democratic state senator who introduced the legislation, believes evidence of the change's benefits will soon win over opponents in rural areas.“There really is no significant reason not to do this,' he says,“other than an overwhelming resistance to change from adults.” Which is an attitude many teenagers will be familiar with.
1)What’s the meaning of the phrases “go-getting Mississippi” and “late-rising Connecticut” in the first paragraph?
2)What’s your opinion about the sentence “Parents and unions are bitterly opposed.” ?（大致意思是这样的，具体的问题也记不太清了）
3)What is implied by the last sentence in the this passage?
Text 2 (from the essay AI at Amazon)
Machine learning is a form of artificial intelligence (AI) which mines data for patterns that can be used to make predictions. It took root at Amazon in 1999 when Jeff Wilke joined the firm. Mr Wilke, who today is second-in- command to Jeff Bezos, set up a team of scientists to study Amazon's internal processes in order to improve their efficiency. He wove his boffins into business units, turning a cycle of self-assessment and improvement into the default pattern. Soon the cycle involved machine-learning algorithms; the first one recommended books that customers might like. As Mr Bezos's ambitions grew, so did the importance of automated insights.
Yet whereas its fellow tech titans flaunt their Al prowess at every opportunity-Facebook's facial-recognition software, Apple's Siri digital assistant or Alphabet's self-driving cars and master go player-Amazon has adopted a lower-key approach to machine learning. Yes, its Alexa competes with Siri and the company offers predictive services in its cloud. But the algorithms mo st critical to the company's success are those it uses to constantly streamline its own operations. The feedback loop looks the same as in its consumer-facing Al: build a service, attract customers, gather data, and let computers learn from these data, all at a scale that human labour could not emulate.
Consider Amazon's fulfilment centres. These vast warehouses, more than 1 00 in North America and 60-odd around the world, are the beating heart of its $207bn online-shopping business. They store and dispatch the goods Amazon sells. Inside one on the outskirts of Seattle, packages hurtle along conveyor belts at the speed of a moped. The noise is deafening- and the facility seemingly bereft of humans. Instead, inside a fenced-off area the size of a football field sit thousands of yellow, cuboid shelving units, each six feet (1.8 metres) tall. Amazon calls them pods. Hundreds of robots shuffle these in and out of neat rows, sliding beneath them and dragging them around. Toothpaste, books and socks are stacked in a manner that appears random to a human observer. Through the lens of the algorithms guiding the process, though, it all makes supreme sense.
Human workers, or "associates" in company vernacular, man stations at gaps in the fence that surrounds this "robot field". Some pick items out of pods brought to them by a robot; others pack items into empty pods, to be whirred away and stored. Whenever they pick or place an item, they scan the product and the relevant shelf with a bar-code-style reader, so that the software can keep track.
1)What’s the meaning of the phrase “took root” in the first paragraph?
2)What’s implied in the last sentence in the last paragraph?
三、写作
