Please see below for more info. TOURS: The School of Art does not offer tours of the School facilities or accommodate any walk-in tours. ADMISSION OPEN HOUSE The Yale School of Art offers an Open House annually for interested applicants. Visitors have the chance to learn more about our MFA program and graduate study from students. 2019 Yale School of Art Admission Open House will be held Thursday, November 14th. Only pre-registered prospective students may attend and event details will be sent to the email address used to register.

Open House will be live-streamed and may be attended virtually on November 14th. OPEN STUDIOS During the Spring semester, the Yale School of Art hosts its annual graduate open studios featuring work from the departments of Graphic Design, Painting and Printmaking, Photography, and Sculpture. Studios are open to the public and located across four buildings on Yale’s campus in downtown New Haven. Following Yale University guidance in response to the spread of COVID-19, the Yale School of Art is suspending all public events and programming through to at least April 5, 2020. 2020 Open Studios, originally scheduled for April 4–5, has been cancelled. 21.

Although you know it’s just a machine, you can relate to it. But would you consider it as a friend? This is just one of the questions that you may find difficult to answer. Sooner or later artificial intelligence (AI) will bring many moral challenges. But AI is here to stay and will have a big impact on our future. As Li Fei-Fei, professor of computer science at Stanford University put it, “If our era is the next industrial revolution, as many claim, AI is surely one of its major driving forces.” Merriam-Webster defines AI as “the capability of a machine to copy intelligent human behavior”. But what makes us want to create “thinking machines”? After all, thinking and consciousness are inimitable things of human beings – at least at present. They separate us from all other creatures on Earth. For one thing, humans constantly desire to develop new technology just because they can. The desire to create AI is the ultimate expression of this: We want to test the limit of human intelligence by building a brand new intelligence. For another, AI has all sorts of practical benefits to offer us. It would free us from repetitive work and make our lives easier. Imagine getting to your destination with an AI-guided self-driving car. Imagine having an AI tutor that could help you with your homework. However, as AI becomes more important in life the worries will begin. Will AI effectively start to take over us? Today, with online shopping sites and social networking platforms, AI already influences many of our choices. Algorithms (算法) determine the content we see on the Internet, and make recommendations about everything from what we watch on TV to where we travel. Some fear that machines will become better at making decisions than humans are, and that therefore we will lose our control of AI. But it’s not all doom and gloom(前景黯淡). Max Tegmark, author of Life 3.0: Being Human in the Age of Artificial Intelligence, believes that with careful planning, AI can become a powerful tool. “I’m optimistic that we can create an inspiring future with AI if we win the race between the growing power of AI and the growing wisdom with which we manage it,” he told Motherboard. But like it or not, AI is shaping the society and will dramatically change the way we live. 24. Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word “inimitable” in Paragraph 3? A. Unique. B. Precise. C. Common. D. Essential. 25. What does Paragraph 4 mainly focus on? A. The influence of AI on our future. B. The reasons for man to develop AI. C. Different voices on developing AI. D. Worries arising from the use of AI. 26. What is the author’s attitude towards AI’s impact on humans? A. Concerned. B. Doubtful. C. Objective. D. Subjective. 27. What can be concluded from Max Tegmark’ words? A. AI won’t pose a threat to human beings. B. AI will surely bring us a promising future. C. Humans are wise enough to take control of AI. D. Humans must keep up with the growing power of AI. C Scientists say they have discovered an earthquake-like event that can happen during a hurricane or other powerful ocean storms. They are calling it a “stormquake”. Researchers came up with this name after studying events connected with or caused by earthquakes on the sea floor during such storms. They found that the shaking can feel as strong as a magnitude 3.5 earthquake. Intense energy from hurricanes and other severe storms can create very large waves in the ocean. These waves then “interact” in some places with solid earth under the sea to cause “intense seismic source activity,” said the leader researcher Fan, a seismologist and professor at Florida State University. “We can have seismic sources in the ocean just like earthquakes within the hard outer layer of the Earth,” he added. “The exciting part is seismic sources caused by hurricanes can last for hours or even days.” The researchers found evidence of more than 10,000 stormquakes in coastal areas of the United States and Canada. Stormquakes were found to have happened around continental shelves or sea floors containing flat land and at lower depths, the research showed. Even with evidence of so many stromquakes happening, it was not known until recently that such events even existed. This is mainly because scientists studying earthquakes have generally considered ocean-caused seismic waves as “background noise”. The research found that major U.S. hurricanes had produced a lot of stormquakes. One example was Hurricane Bill in 2009 in the Atlantic Ocean, which caused about 300 stormquakes as it moved north, past New Jersey. Other examples of stormquakes were Hurricane Ike in 2008 and Hurricane Irene in 2011. But the study found no evidence of stormquakes off the coast of Mexico. Also, no such activity was recorded in areas along the U.S. East Coast, starting in New Jersey, and continuing all the way down to Georgia. The team noted that even Hurricane Sandy, one of the most costly storms in U.S. history, did not cause a single stormquake. Fan says this suggests that stormquakes are strongly influenced by the physical shape of the seafloor’s surface and seafloor conditions. Fan added that there are still “lots of unknowns” about stormquakes. But he said discovering them “suggests we are reaching a new level of understanding of seismic waves”. He hopes the discovery will lead to improved study methods for hurricanes, which in the past have mainly been observed from satellites in the sky. “Now we are able to understand the phenomenon — or at least track part of its passage — through the solid earth as well,” he said. 28. What is the distinctive feature of a stormquake? A. Being seasonal. B. Being destructive. C. Being long-lasting. D. Being interactive. 29. Why were stormquakes unknown to science previously? A. Because they were extremely rare on the Earth. B. Because they were once neglected by scientists. C. Because they generally happen in deep sea floors. D. Because they are quite similar to common earthquakes. 30. What message is conveyed in Paragraph 4? A. All hurricanes don’t bring about stormquakes. B. Stormquakes happen more along the East Coast. C. Stronger hurricanes tend to produce stormquakes. D. The sea floor’s condition changes in stormquakes. 31. What is the significance of the discovery? A. Offering an alternative angle to research hurricanes. B. Helping to predict an earthquake more accurately. C. Suggesting the richness of the seismic wave field. D. Preventing potential hurricanes and lessening losses. D The most intuitive argument against immigration we come across is that immigrants are causing higher unemployment rate or lower wages for low-skilled workers within the nation, which is probably not true in the US. Statistics show that in the US, wages and unemployment rate are rarely affected for the reason that immigrants move more flexibly for jobs than local workers. Immigration boosts economy by driving up both demand and supply. Official data show that immigrants have a far more diverse composition than the native-born. They have a higher percentage of doctoral degree owners while also a higher percentage of worse-educated. The effect is that companies actually adjust to the change in job market in the long-run and figure out their way to deal with a mix of workers with different skills and levels, which at the end of the day fits them into different jobs. For those who have a bachelor or a doctoral degree, they are the driving engines whose innovation largely boosts the US economy. Immigrants to the United States tend to generate more patentable technologies than natives: though they constitute only 18 percent of the 25 and older workforce, immigrants obtain 28 percent of high-quality patents. Immigrants are also more likely to become Nobel winners in physics, chemistry, and physiology or medicine. These innovations can increase productivity and job supplies in the long run. For those badly-educated, even though they did cause a negative impact to net financial contribution to the US government, the impact is rather small compared to those undereducated native people. It is because as immigrants who come to seek for a change for their life, it is more likely for them to take a job rather than accepting the basic living standard provided by government subsidy like those desperate native-born Americans who have lost faith in the so-called “American Dream”. In the long run, it eases the burden of government and brings in more tax income. In this sense, their stable income also brings about more domestic demand in the US. All in all, immigrants are actually beneficial for the US economy, largely owing to the values created by those highly-educated. The expulsions of unauthorized immigrants may bring about negative impact to the economy. 32. Why does the author write this passage? A. To appeal to more foreigners to immigrate to America. B. To urge the US to treat unauthorized immigrants equally. C. To confirm what’s long been believed about immigration. D. To argue for the positive economic effects of immigration. 33. How are immigrants different from the natives? A. They contribute less to government finances. B. They have less access to government subsidy. C. They’re more confident of the American Dream. D. They’re more likely to go where jobs are available. 34. What can we learn from the passage? A. Companies are more willing to employ immigrants. B. Immigrants are more adaptable than native Americans. C. Most Americans with a doctor’s degree are immigrants. D. Immigration creates more job opportunities for America. 35. How is the passage mainly developed? A. By listing specific statistics. B. By making a detailed analysis. C. By presenting typical examples. D. By comparing different opinions. 第二节 (共 5 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 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。 A popular Yale University psychology course now available for free online. I decided to see what it was all about. ___36___ After taking the course, I’m convinced that anyone who adopts and practices the strategies provided can truly become happier. Reconnecting with a friend can boost happiness, but so can a meaningful encounter with a stranger. One of the most complex things we can engage with is another person’s mind. ___37___In fact, many studies have found that the more you use social media, the less happy you are. This is because social media—especially picture-heavy platforms—present things others have that you don’t, making you want more and appreciate less. ___38___However, varying your approach is key. If you perform the same act of kindness over and over, it may begin to feel like an obligation or a boring task. The reactions you got made you feel better about yourselves. Kindness brings other happiness benefits, too. Helping others takes the focus away from our own worries and problems, which can boost happiness. And being generous won’t increase levels of the stress hormone cortisol. Perhaps surprisingly, kindness improves overall physical health. Taking exercise causes hormonal changes in the body that make you feel good and help interrupt negative thoughts. Clinically depressed people who exercised regularly improved just as much as those who took antidepressants.___39___But anecdotally, most people who exercise will tell you they feel better. Shortchanging your sleep can make you bad-tempered.___40___A lot of people know that sleep is good but some are forced to sacrifice sleep because they have other things taking up their time. A. I was curious to see what the course was recommending. B. Volunteering to help someone can make you happier than doing self-centered things. C. Getting enough shut-eye can boost your mood. D. Ways of our minds trick us into being less happy. E. After all, I’ve been writing about happiness for years. F. Online friends don’t count. G. Getting out of a depression is not exactly the same as happiness. 第三部分 语言运用 (共两节，满分 35 分) 第一节 完形填空(共 15 小题; 每小题 1 分，满分 15 分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 When Mike Mushaw joined the national bone marrow (骨髓) registry three years ago, he never really gave it a second thought.

About six months after the procedure, Eleanor’s parents sent him an e-mail to thank him for saving her life. “When I was told it was a little girl, I ____50____,” Mushaw says. But their surprising ____51____ was only beginning. Mushaw and Eleanor FaceTime ____52____ to check on her progress. In August, about a year after Eleanor’s ____53____ transplant, Mushaw invited her family to one of his games. Tiny shouts of “Mike! Mike!” could be heard as the little girl cheered on her very own hero: a six-foot-two, 225-pound football player with a very ____54____ heart. In January, Mushaw ____55____ with Eleanor to celebrate her birthday. Two complete strangers now have become such a big part of each other’s lives.” 41.

All of a sudden, the ship met with an accident and the couple had no choice but to run to the life boat without delay. After reaching there, they realized that there was space only for one person. At that very moment, the husband pushed his wife behind him and jumped onto the lifeboat himself, leaving his wife standing on the sinking ship, shouting something desperately to her husband eyes filled with tears.” The teacher stopped her story-telling and asked her students, “Guys, guess what it was that she shouted.” Most students answered. “I hate you!” After listening to all this reply, the teacher glanced through the whole class again and noticed that there was a boy sitting silently throughout. Then she asked him the same question. The boy answered, “I believe she would have shouted-Take care of our child.” Listening to his remarks, the teacher was surprised and asked the boy doubtfully. “Have you heard of this story before?” Shaking his head, the boy said softly and sadly, “No, I haven’t. But that’s what my mother said to my father before she died of a deadly disease.” Moved and feeling sad, the teacher replied. “Your answer is absolutely right!” Then she continued, “Let’s take up the story. The ship sank eventually and the husband went home and brought up their daughter alone. Many years later after the death of the man, their daughter was tidying up all his belongings when she found his diary. In his diary she found that when her parents were on the ship, her mother had already been diagnosed (诊断) with advanced illness and at the critical moment, the father rushed to the only chance of survival.” 注意： 1. 续写词数应为 150 左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 In his diary, the man mentioned he wished to sink to the ocean with his wife but for their daughter he had to live. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________ The story was finished and the class was silent. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________
