This warning came after he used the machine particularly made for him.As Hawking suffers from a serious disease called ALS,he needs an AI computer to communicate.The computer learns how Hawking thinks and suggests the words he may want to use next.This is a basic type of AI,which is very useful,yet Hawking is frightened of the possibility of creating technology that can match or surpass human intelligence.And it’s easy to imagine how terrible things-may be. Many TV shows and films display big,killer machines that are far cleverer than us.“Humans can’t compete because they are limited by slow biological evolution,”said Hawking.In what direction do you think AI is heading?Should we be hopeful or fearful?61.According the passage,AI machines can_________nowadays.A.make our lives easierB.think like human beingsC.be much smarter than humans nowD.not be controlled by human beings soon62.What does the underlined word This stand for in paragraph5?A.A big,killer machine.B.A serious disease called ALS.C.The AI computer Hawing uses.D.The AI technology scientists work on.63.The writer took Hawking as an example to_________.A.explain how AI has helped usB.show the great hidden use of AIC.show AI has already become part of our lifeD.suggest that AI might become dangerous for humans64.Which of the following can be the title for this article?A.The development of AIB.AI:a friend or an enemy?C.The future of human beingsD.The fight between humans and AI65.What’s the attitude of the writer towards AI?A.disappointedB.neutralC.irreplaceableD.hopelessBWhen my family moved to America in2010from a small village in Guangdong,China,we brought not only our luggage,but also our village rules,customs and culture.One of the rules is that young people should always respect elders.Unluckily,this rule led to my very first embarrassment in the United States.I had a part-time job as a waiter in a Chinese restaurant.One time,when I was serving food to a middle-aged couple,the wife asked me how the food could be served so quickly.I told her that I had made sure they got their food quickly because I always respect the elderly.As soon as I said that,her face showed great displeasure.My manager,who happened to hear what I said,took me aside and gave me a long lecture about how sensitive Americans are and how they dislike the description“old”.I then walked back to the table and apologized to the wife.After the couple heard my reason,they understood that the problem was caused by cultural differences,so they laughed and were no longer angry.In my village in China,people are proud of being old.Not so many people live to be seventy or eighty,and people who reach such an age have the most knowledge and experience.Young people always respect older people because they know they can learn from their rich experience.However,in the United States,people think“growing old”is a problem since“old”shows that a person is going to retire or that the body is not working well.Here many people try to keep themselves away from growing old by doing exercises or jogging,and women put on makeup,hoping to look young.When I told the couple in the restaurant that I respect the elderly,they got angry because this caused them to feel they had failed to stay young.I had told them something they didn’t want to hear.After that,I changed the way I had been with older people.It is not that I don’t respect them any more;I still respect them,but now I don’t show my feelings through words.66.Jack brought the couple their food very fast because_________.A.the manager asked him to do soB.he respected the elderlyC.the couple wanted him to do soD.he wanted more pay67.When Jack called the couple“elderly”,they became_________.A.nervousB.satisfiedC.unhappyD.excited68.In Jack’s hometown,_________.A.people dislike being called“old”B.people are proud of being oldC.many people reach the age of seventy or eightyD.the elderly are the first to get food in restaurants69.After this experience,Jack_________.A.lost his job in the restaurantB.made friends with the coupleC.no longer respected the elderlyD.changed his way with older people70.Which of the following is TRUE?A.The more Jack explained,the angrier the couple got.B.Jack wanted to show his feelings through words after his experience.C.The manager went back to the table and apologized to the couple.D.From this experience,Jack learned more about American culture.CPeople used to say,“The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world.”and“Behind very successful man there is a woman.”Both of these sayings mean the same thing.Men rule the world,but their wives rule them...Most of the American women like making their husbands and sons successful,but some of them want more for themselves.They want good jobs.When they work,they want to be better paid.They want to be as successful as men.The American women’s liberation movement was started by women who don’t want to stand behind successful men.They want to stand beside men,with the same chance for success.They don’t want to be told that certain jobs or offices are closed to them.They refuse to work side by side with men who do the same work for a higher pay.A liberated woman must be proud of being a woman and believe in herself.If somebody says to her,“You’ve come a long way,baby,”she’ll smile and answer,“not nearly as far as I’m going to go,baby!”The movement is quite new,and many American women do not agree.But it has already made some important changes in women’s lives---in men’s lives,too.71.“Behind every successful man there is a woman”means_________.A.men are always successful but not womenB.women are not willing to stand in front of menC.women do play an important part in men’s livesand work.D.women can be as successful as men72.Which of the following is NOT true?A.Some American women want to work side by side with men and get the same pay for the same work.B.Most American women want to be more successful than men.C.Not every American women want to be more successful than men.D.The American women’s liberation movement did make some changes in women’s lives.73.According to the passage,many American women today are_________.A.still going a long way to workB.working at easier jobs than menC.unwilling to work side by side with menD.willing to be less important than men as they used to.74.“Not nearly as far as I’m going to go”means_________.A.I’m still going to work farther away from homeB.I’m not going to work far away from homeC.I’m not satisfied with what I’ve doneD.What I have done is not far from success75.The American women’s liberation movement_________.A.still have a long way to goB.is a failureC.was started by many successful womenD.is a new thing not accepted by the writerDHank Viscardi was born without legs.He had----not legs but stumps(残肢)that could he fitted with

the day came when Hank stood up before the mirror,for the first time he saw himself as he has always wanted to be----a full five feet eight inches tall.By this time he was already26years old.Hank had to learn to use his new legs.Again and again he marched the length of the room,and marched back again.There were times when he fell down on the floor,but he pulled himself up and went back to the endless marching.He went out on the street.He climbed stairs and learned to dance.He built a boat and learned to sail it.When World War II came,he talked the Red Cross into giving him a job.He took the regular training.He marched and drilled along with the other soldiers.Few knew that he was legless.This was the true story of Hank Viscardi,a man without legs.76.Children laughed at Hank and

Reading Comprehension (1*20=20%)Passage OneWatching some children trying to catch butterflies one hot August afternoon, I was reminded of an incident in my own childhood. When I was a boy of 12 in South Carolina, something happened to me that cured me forever of wanting to put any wild creature in a cage.We lived on the edge of a wood, and every evening at dusk the mockingbirds would come and rest in the trees and sing. There isn't a musical instrument made by man that can produce a more beautiful sound than the song of the mockingbird.I decided that I would catch a young bird and keep it in a cage and in that way, would have my own private musician.I finally succeeded in catching one and put it in a cage. At first, in its fright at being captured, the bird fluttered about the cage, but eventually it settled down in its new home. I felt very pleased with myself and looked forward to some beautiful singing from my tiny musician.I had left the cage out on our back porch, and on the second day of the bird's captivity my new pet's mother flew to the cage with food in her mouth. The baby bird ate everything she brought to it. I was pleased to see this. Certainly, the mother knew better than I how to feed her baby.The following morning when I went to see how my captive was doing, I discovered it on the floor of the cage, dead. I was shocked! What had happened! I had taken excellent care of my little bird, or so I thought.Arthur Wayne, the famous ornithologist, happened to be visiting my father at the time, hearing me crying over the death of my bird, explained what had occurred. “A mother mockingbird, finding her young in a cage, will sometimes bring it poison berries. She thinks it better for her young to die than to live in captivity'Never, since then have I caught any living creature and put it in a cage. All living creatures have a right to live free.( )56. Why did the writer catch a mockingbird when he was a boy of 12?A. He had just got a new cage.B. He liked its beautiful feather.C. He wanted it to sing for him.D. He wanted a pet for a companion.( )57. The mockingbird died because it ________.A. was frightened to deathB. ate the poisonous food its mother gave itC. refused to eat- anythingD. drank the poisonous water by mistake( )58. An ornithologist probably means ________A. a religious personB. a kind personC. a schoolmasterD. an expert in birds( )59. What is the most important lesson the writer learned from the incident?A. Freedom is very valuable to all creatures.B. All birds put in a cage won't live long.C. You should keep the birds from their mother.D. Be careful about food you give to baby birds.Passage TwoA rich woman has a valuable and beautiful vase and she is very proud of it. She decides to paint her bedroom the same color as the vase. Several painters try to mix the color right, but none come close enough to satisfy the woman.Finally, a painter named Peter comes along. He appears confident, saying he can definitely mix the right color.And he succeeds. The woman is pleased with the result and Peter the painter becomes very famous.Many years later, Peter retires and turns his business over to his son. "Dad, " asks the son. " There's one thing I've been very curious about. How did you get those walls to match the vase so perfectly?”"Easy my son. " Peter the painter answers. "I painted the vase?"( )60.

A Painter's TrickC. Peter the PainterD. A Foolish Rich WomanPassage ThreeGetting rid of dirt, in the opinion of most people, is a good thing. However, there is nothing fixed about attitudes to dirt.In the early 16th century, people thought that dirt on the skin was a means to block out disease, as medical opinion had it that washing off dirt with hot water could open up the skin and let ills in. A particular danger was thought to lie in public baths. By 1538, the French king had closed the bath houses in his kingdom. So did the king of England in 1546. Thus began a long time when the rich and the poor in Europe lived with dirt in a friendly way. Henry IV, King of France, was famously dirty. Upon learning that a nobleman had taken a bath, the king ordered that, to avoid the attack of disease, the nobleman should not go out.Though the belief in the merit of dirt was long- lived, dirt has no longer been regarded as a nice neighbor ever since the 18th century. Scientifically speaking, cleaning away dirt is good to health. Clean water supply and hand washing are practical means of preventing disease. Yet, it seems that standards of cleanliness have moved beyond science since World War II. Advertisements repeatedly sell the idea: clothes need to be whiter than white, cloths ever softer, surfaces to shine. Has the hate for dirt, however, gone too far?Attitudes to dirt still differ hugely nowadays. Many first- time parents nervously try to warn their children off touching dirt, which might be responsible for the spread of disease. However, Mary Ruebush, and American immunologist (免疫学家), cncourages children to play in the dirt to build up a strong immune system, and her view is gaining some ground.( )64. The kings of France and England in the 16th century closed bath houses because ________.A. they lived healthily in a dirty environmentB. they thought bath houses were too dirty to stay inC. they considered bathing as the cause of skin diseaseD. they believed disease could be spread in public baths( )65. Which of the following best describes Henry IV's attitudes to bathing?A. Afraid.B. Curious.C. Approving.D. Uninterested.( )66. How does the passage mainly develop?A. By providing examples.B. By making comparisons.C. By following the order of time.D. By following the order of importance.( )67. What is the author's purpose in writing the passage?A. To stress the role of dirt.B. To introduce the history of dirt.C. to call attention to the danger of dirt.D. To present the change of views on dirt.Passage Four14 days from just ₤ 2, 000 per personFully inclusive from the UKPrice covers: International airfares, departure taxes, fuel charges, local transportation, accommodation, all meals, entrance fees, guides, daily tours and visas for UK citizens.• Day 1- 3 UK- ShanghaiFly to the great city of Shanghai and in the evening sample traditional Shanghai food.

At the underside of the shelf there lives a small fish, the Antarctic cod.For forty years scientists have been curious about that fish. How does it live where most fish would freeze to death? It must have some secret. The Antarctic is not a comfortable place to work and research has been slow. Now it seems we have an answer.Research was begun by cutting holes in the ice and catching the fish. Scientists studied the fish's blood and measured its freezing point. The fish were taken from seawater that had a temperature of - 1. 88⁰C and many tiny pieces of ice floating in it. The blood of the fish did not begin to freeze until its temperature was lowered to - 2. 05⁰C. That small difference is enough for the fish to live at the freezing temperature of the ice- salt mixture.The scientists' next research job was clear: Find out what in the fish's blood kept it from freezing. 1heir research led to some really strange thing made up of a protein never before seen in the blood of a fish. When it was removed, the blood froze at seawater temperature. When it was put back, the blood again had its anti- freeze quality and a lowered freezing point.Study showed that it is an unusual kind of protein. It has many small sugar molecules held in special positions within each big protein molecule. Because of its sugar content. it is called a glycoprotein. So it has come to be called the anti- freeze fish glycoprotein, or AFGP.( )72. What is the text mainly about?A. The terrible conditions in the Antarctic.B. A special fish living in freezing waters.C. The ice shelf around Antarctica.D. Protection of the Antarctica.( )73. Why can the Antarctic cod live at the freezing temperature?A. The seawater has a temperature of- 1. 88⁰C.B. It loves to live in the ice- salt mixture.C. A special protein keeps it from freezing.D. Its blood has a temperature lower than- 2. 05⁰C.( )74. W hat does the underlined world “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A. A type of ice- salt mixture.B. A newly found protein.C. Fish blood.D. Sugar molecule( )75.
