These awful sudden risings of the sea are caused by earthquakes or underwater volcanic actions. The story of the boy Yuuki is the story of such a disaster.Yuuki lived with his family in a seaside village, below a small mountain. One day, as he played on top of the mountain, Yuuki felt a small earthquake but it was not strong enough to frighten anybody and passed quickly. Soon after, however, Yuuki noticed the sea darken and begin running away from the shore very fast, leaving behind wide stretches of beach that had never been seen before.With a grasp, Yuuki remembered reading that just before a terrible tsunami, the sea suddenly and quickly rolls backward. He ran to the beach, warning the villagers who had gathered to admire the new beach land.“Get back!” shouted the boy, “There is a terrible danger!”But no one listened. They laughed at him and continued playing in the new sand and watched the sea roll backward even more.Desperate, Yuuki could think of only one thing to do. He lit a tree branch, raced to the rice fields and began burning the harvested rice. Then he called out, “Fire! Fire! Everyone run to the mountain! Now!”When everyone reached the mountain-top, a villager cried out, “Yuuki is mad! I saw him set the fire.” Yuuki hung his head in shame, but said nothing as the villagers cursed him. Just then, someone shouted, “Look!”In the distance what seemed to be a huge dark line was speeding towards the shore. As it got nearer the people realized the long thin line of darkness was the returning sea, towering like a mountain.The villagers watched in terror as the water struck the shore, smashing over their homes then tearing out the land as it receded.On the mountain everyone stared speechlessly at the destruction below.“I'm sorry I burned the fields,” said Yuuki, his voice trembling.“Yuuki,” village-chief answered. “Y ou saved us all.”The villagers cheered and rai sed Yuuki into the air. “We were going tocelebrate our rice harvest tonight,” said one, “but now we’ll celebrate that we’re all still alive!”1．Where was Yuuki when the earthquake struck?A．On the beach.B．On the mountain.C．In the rice fields.D．At his family home.2．In what order did the following events take place?a.

His name was St Clare. He was travelling with his daughter called Eva, who was between five and six years old. She was a beautiful child, with blonde hair and blue eyes. She was always busy or running around, and Tom noticed her and thought that she lookedlike an angel. She often went where the slaves sat in chains and looked at them with sad eyes. Sometimes she brought them food.One day, she talked with Uncle Tom for the first time. “So, Uncle Tom, where are you going?” Eva said. “I don’t know, Miss Eva.” Tom said. “Why not?” said Eva. “Because my master is going to sell me, and I don’t know who will buy me.” “My papa can buy you,” said Eva. “I’ll ask him today.” “Thank you,” said Tom.Later that day, Eva and her father were standing together on the upper deck on the sideof the boat. Suddenly, the child moved too quickly and fell into the water. Tom saw everything and he jumped into the water immediately. He caught her and swam back to the boat, where many people helped to lift her out of the water.Eva was with her father, who was talking to Haley. “So what’s the price?” The father asked. “More than thirteen hundred dollars,” said Haley. “He’s very good.” “That’s too much!” said St Clare. “Show me your papers.” “Papa, please buy him! The price is not important.” Eva said.The trader showed the papers signed by Mr Shelby. St Clare read them, signed a document and paid Haley. He took his daughter’s hand and went over to Tom. “Hello, Tom,” he said, “I’m your new master. Can you drive horses?”—Taken from Uncle Tom’s Cabin 34．According to the underlined sentences in Paragraph 1, we know that Eva is ______.

As a Canadian living in China for a year, I was curious to see what kind of advice the writer was giving on this matter.One piece of advice really caught my attention and, I must say, made me feel quite angry. In the writer’s opinion, foreigners are an “opportunity (机会)” to improve your oral English. If the foreigner doesn’t want to answer your questions, then he or she is a rude person who you wouldn’t want to spend time with anyway. I think the advice is not only incorrect, but also may harm the relationship between Chinese and foreigners in China.Like most other “Lao Wai” living in China, I know how lonely one can sometimes feel living in a culture different from our own familiar (熟悉的) ways. However, I simply accept as part of being here. So far my time in China has been rewarding, I have improved my Chinese language skills, learned about one of the fastest developing countries in the world today and made some very close Chinese friends.However, I have also met many Chinese people who consider me only as an “opportunity” to improve their oral English. I have had people following me from town to my flat to trouble me to teach them English. I have had complete strangers throwing articles or speeches in my face, insisting that I help them with the English translation.Friendship for a lot of foreigners is about spending time with someone who companies (陪伴) them. So if there is any advice to give on making and keeping friendships with foreigners, I would say that it is this: Treat foreigners as friends, not opportunities. We expect to make friendships step by step, over a period of time, not in a rush.38．What does the underlined phrase “this matter” in Paragraph 1 refer to (指代)? A．How to improve oral English B．How to translate written English C．How to give advice on languages D．How to make friends with foreigners 39．The writer of the passage felt ________ after he or she read one piece of advice. A．angry B．nervous C．hopeful D．happy 40．What can we infer from Paragraph 3?A．People in China like chatting with some foreigners.B．People in China often make friends with foreigners.C．The writer of the passage thinks his life in China is meaningful.D．The writer of the passage feels uneasy when meeting strangers.41．Which sentence can be put in the empty box in the last paragraph?A．Many hands make light work.B．True friendships stand the test of time. C．You can’t put all your eggs in one basket.D．Friendship can’t stand always on one side.D（2022·江苏扬州）In recent years, large-scale (大规模的) tree plantation programmes are a popular way to deal with the climate crisis (气候危机).These trees, they store lots of carbon dioxide from the air. They give us oxygen we breathe. And there’s no doubt that the right trees in the right place is a good thing. However, large-scale tree planting is becoming a problem.Yatir forest is Israel’s largest forest. But the four million trees are actually having a warming effect on the planet. And the bright desert surface reflected (反射) more sunlight than the present darker tree canopy (树冠) that replaced it. This forest is making global warming worse.What the Yatir forest warns us is that choosing the right location is very important. The wrong location can also use up groundwater and dry up streams. Choosing the right location isn’t the only challenge for large-scale tree plantations. Most of the time, these tree planting programmes choose one type of trees. They are bad for biodiversity (生物多样性).Another big problem is planting the wrong type of trees. In South Africa, the introduction of new types of trees has led to covering large areas of land. The country now spends millions of pounds clearing the trees every year.So, protecting the forests would be a better use of our time and resources. We should allow space around the forests for them to naturally expand. And it’s the best way to get more trees on the planet. One place where planting trees is good is in the cities. Trees help reduce noise, improve air quality, help prevent flooding, and even improve your physical and mental health.There is no one solution to the climate crisis. We have to use all the tools at hand to reduce greenhouse gases and slow down global warming.42．The underlined word “replaced” in Paragraph 2 probably means ________.A．解释B．解决C．取消D．取代43．Which is the following shows the structure of the passage?( ① = Para 1① = Para 2... )A．①//①①①①//①B．①//①①①//①①C．①①//①①//①①D．①①//①①①//①44．What are the problems of large-scale tree planting according to the passage?a.

Think about all the lights that keep the mall bright. Think about all the water faucets (水龙头) in the toilet. Think about all the air conditioning in summer. Saving energy is a hot topic for such a big place!Many things at the mall use energy. Electric lights, infrared (红外感应) faucets and air-conditioners need electricity to work. One way to save energy is by keeping lights clean. More and more dust and dirt make the lights less bright. When malls keep lights clean, they can use fewer lights and keep the area just as bright, Using fewer lights means using less energy.You step up to the water faucet. The water starts to flow. You don't have to touch a thing. Why do malls have such fancy faucets? The answer is simple. They save water. Sometimes people forget to turn the water off after they wash. Infrared faucets turn themselves off.The…1．_______ is a hot topic for a big mall.A．To spend money B．To save energyC．To keep the mall bright D．To buy things2．The best title for the passage is _______.A．Lights, faucets and air-conditioners B．Spending less moneyC．Energy saving at the mall D．A hot topic3．What will the fourth paragraph probably talk about?A．How to save water when using infrared faucets in the mallB．How to save energy when using air-conditioners in the mallC．How to save money when shopping in the mall.D．How to save time when shopping in the mall.B14、One day, I took an underground to work, I saw something that made me very sad.On the tube (underground in London), a mother kept looking at her phone screen and playing a game with her daughter sitting beside her. The little girl, about 5 years old,was talking to her mother about her day, repeating the next stop’s name cheerfully,praising her mother’s long nails —trying to catch her mother’s attention. Her mother just nodded and answered “Mm, hm” with her eyes glued to the screen, busy passing the levels of the game. I watched the girl give a final try to at least get her mum to look at her, but it was no use. Then the little girl turned silent. It was a shame the motherdidn’t notice that.It broke my heart and got me wondering — what kind of game would make the mother forget she has the most beautiful thing in the world, the human she created, the person she loves with all her heart? What it meant when she couldn’t look into her daughter’s eyes and even stop to listen to the girl?Some parents are almost like the teenagers, always on their phones with mindless games or going through WeChat. Perhaps parents have many things to deal with, but sometimes they are everything to their kids.This is not an only example. I’ve seen too many such examples. I might not be a parent myself, and probably still have a long way before becoming one, but I know what I saw isn’t right.The scene used to be seen among teenagers very often when parents complained how their children were crazy about their mobile phones. Look how the situation has changed! The parents have become “technology slaves (奴隶)”, that is to say, they can’t control themselves while using mobile phones. Now some middle-aged parents hold the best iPhones or Samsung phones, which are probably the only two brands they know. They are playing the simple gameswith so expensive mobile phones. I’m uncertain whether to laugh or to cry. But my hope is that this storm passes. 1．The little girl turned silent because she failed to _____.A．stop to listen to her mumB．cat ch her mother’s attentionC．know the brand of her mobile phoneD．control herself while using mobile phone2．In the passage, the writer mainly wants to express _____.A．the hope that parents use new technology properlyB．the happiness that parents can use modern technologyC．the sadness that parents have many things to deal withD．the worries that children are crazy about mobile phones3．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A．Technology Slaves B．Middle-aged ParentsC．A Scene on the Tube D．Mindless Phone GamesC15、(C)The earth is not only, but also thirsty for water. This may seem strange to you. because nearly 70% of the earth’s surface（表面）is covered with water. But about 97% of that is sea water, or salt water. Man can only use the other 3%—the fresh water from rivers, lakes, and other sources. And we can’t even use all of that, because some of it is in the form of icebergs and glaciers（冰川）. Even worse, some of it has been polluted.However, as things stand today, the fresh water is still enough for us. But our need for water is becoming larger and larger quickly—almost day by day. We should take steps to do with this problem now and in this way we can get away from a serious world-wide water shortage later on.We all have to learn how to stop wasting ourvaluablewater, one of the first step is to develop ways of reusing it. Today in most large cities, water is used only once and then sent out into a sewer system(下水道), from there it returns to sea or runs into underground (地下)places.But even if every large city reuse d its water, we still would not have enough. All we’d have to do to make use of sea water in the world is to remove the salt.1．（小题1）The earth is thirsty for water because_______ .A．man has not enough food to eat.B．we haven’t had enough fresh waterC．onl y 70% of the earth’s surface is covered with water.D．more water is sent into the sewer system2．（小题2）The underlined word “valuable ” means _______. .A．much and salt B．fresh and enoughC．dear and useful D．clean and helpful3．（小题3）What can we do if we want to have enough fresh water? make good use of the sea water. carry salt water into lakes and rivers. try to save the fresh water as much as possible do our best to use the water again. drink and use all the water on the earth’s surfaceA．(c)and(e) B．(a) and (b)C．(a), (c)and(d) D．(b) , (d) and(e)4．（小题4）The best but the most difficult way to solve the water problem of the world is to ___A．remove the salt from the sea waterB．make the water in the cities clean.C．take the water from undergroundD．make the need for the water smaller.5．（小题5）What is the best title for this passage?A．The Importance of Water B．The World’s Water ProblemC．The Thirsty World D．Fresh Water and Sea WaterD16、Choose the best choice from A．B or C according to what you read.2．The above job ads(广告)are probably from a _____.A．newspaper B．Story book .

Magic Radio features a cool cartoon figure. You can talk to it about anything. There is also an app for Magic Radio. With it, you can decorate the cartoon figure and even send it a gift online. Parents can also use the app to talk to their children. Magic Radio also records your life and analyzes(分析) your behavior. This way, it is easy for parents to know what you’re doing when they’re not around.Sophia, RobotSophia is the first robot in the world to get citizenship(公民身份) in Saudi Arabia. In 2015, a US company built Sophia. She looks and acts like a human woman. She can talk to people naturally. She even has her own body language. For example, she may blink her eyes when she is talking about something funny. She also has the ability to learn from people, books and th e Internet. Sophia was designed to have her values. “Don’t worry, if you’re nice to me, I’ll be nice to you.”Samsung’s BixbyLike the voice recognition (识别) system, Siri on iPhones, Samsung has a similar system called Bixby. Experts said that it is smarter than any other similar system. If you once asked it to complete a certain task, it will remember that task the next time you talk to it. For example, you might like to listen to certain music while you’re baking a cake. Next time when you tell Bixby “ I want to make a cake”, it will show you how to make a cake and play music for you automatically.AlphaGo ZeroAlphaGo is an AI program that plays the board game GO().

When thechildren give it a push and jump in for their first ride，smiles of wonder appears on their faces.The fun of going round and round in a circle is just part of the wonder. The wonderful invention doesn’t only change the kids’ play time，but also makes a big difference to t he people’s lives.As the merry-go-round starts，itpumps(泵送）clean water up from deep underground and keeps it in a huge tank(桶）. People are welcomed to come and help themselves to get the water for free. They are very happy these days.In the countryside of Africa，very few people could drink clean water. They don’t have machines that can get water in their homes. Instead，they often walk a long way to carry water back.Patricia Molope，a fifteen-year-old girl，explains that before her village in South Africa got a PlayPump，people would pay a taxi driver to take them to a well far from their homes. “ Sometimes the taxi drivers were so busy that we would have to stop taking showers in order to save water. It was so far to walk there，but at present we have our own clean water in the village，and the life is better，too.”The hard job of carrying water usually is done by women and girls. Carrying water for miles and hours each day is such a heavy job that it sometimes prevents girls from being able to go to school.Thanks to the PlayPump，getting water is quicker and easier-----and even boys join in. The pumps have become a new activity. Kids and adults seem to love playing with them while collecting water.A boy named Khumalo，twelve years old，says，“ I have s een many kinds of water pumps，but have never seen one that can keep water. When I grow up，I want to be an inventor so I can also invent clever things like the PlayPump that will help my country.”So far，more than 800 PlayPumps are being operated in schools and neighborhoods in four African countries，providing water for almost two million people.1．To get water from a PlayPump，people need to ______________.A．walk for a long way B．push it firstC．make it in a circle D．use a big tank2．The underlined wor d “it” in Paragraph 3 refers to____________A．pump B．merry-go-roundC．PlayPump D．underground3．For Patricia Molope，getting water used to be hard because____________A．She didn’t know how to use a PlayPump.B．She had no money to pay a taxi driver.C．The only place to get water was far away from home.D．There was not enough water in the well.4．Which of the following is NOT TRUE about PlayPump?A．People need to pay for the clean water from PlayPump.B．Both children and parents enjoy the ride on PlayPump.C．PlayPump makes the life of the Africans much easier.D．About two million Africans are using the water from PlayPump.5．What is the main idea of the story?A．PlayPump can bring people together.B．PlayPump helps turn work into play.C．Every country in the world is thirsty.D．PlayPump is a great invention in the world.Ⅴ.书面表达19、假如你是李华，是一名初三学生，2017年被评为“校园运动之星”。

I was surprised someone in her condition would want to talk. “Doctor, do you think I can get back to my normal life?” the old lady asked at one point.I re plied that while I didn’t know much about her case, I could tell her what I had learnt about the recovery of the patients of her kind. However, I was unwilling to go into too much detail 4 I was only a medical student.The old lady started talking about herself. She shared her difficulties and sufferings, talked about her husband, who was killed in a car accident, and her struggle to earn money.

There I was, walking home at one in the morning after a tiring practice at the theater. With opening night only a week away, I was still learning my lines. I was having trouble dealing with my part-time job at the bank and my acting at night at the same time. As I walked, I thought seriously about giving up both acting and San Francisco. City life had become too much for me.As I walked down empty streets under tall buildings, I felt very small and cold. I began running, both to keep warm and to keep away any possible robbers(抢劫犯). Very few people were still out except a few sad-looking homeless people under blankets.About a block from my apartment, I heard a sound behind me. I turned quickly, half expecting to see someone with a knife or a gun. The street was empty. All I saw was a shining streetlight. Still, the noise had made me nervous, so I started to run faster. Not until I reached my apartment building and unlocked the door did I realize what the noise had been. It had been my wallet falling to the sidewalk.Suddenly I wasn’t cold or tired anymore. I ran out of the door and back to where I’d heard the noise. Although I searched the sidewalk anxiously for fifteen minutes, my wallet was nowhere to be found.Just as I was about to give up the search, I heard the garbage truck(垃圾车) pull up to the sidewalk next to me. When a voice called from the inside, “Alisa Camacho?” I thought I was dreaming. How could this man know my name? The door opened, and out jumped a small red-haired man with an amused look in his eyes. “Is this what you’re looking for?” he asked, holding up a small square shape.It was nearly 3 a.m. by the time I got into bed. I wouldn’t get much sleep that night, but I had got my wallet back. I also had got back some enjoyment of city life. I realized that the city couldn’t be a bad place as long as people were willing to help each other.1．（小题1）How did the writer feel when she was walking home after work?A．Cold and sickB．Lucky and hopefulC．Satisfied and cheerfulD．Disappointed and helpless2．（小题2）From the first paragraph, we learn that the writer was busy_____.A．solving her problem at the bankB．taking part in various city activitiesC．learning acting in an evening schoolD．preparing for the first night show3．（小题3）On her way home the writer_____A．lost her wallet unknowinglyB．was stopped by a garbage truck driverC．was robbed of her wallet by a man with a knifeD．found some homeless people following her4．（小题4）From the text, we can infer that the writer_____A．would stop working at nightB．would stay on in San FranciscoC．would make friends with cleaners.D．would give up her job at the bankB14、When I was 14 years old, I used to babysit (做临时保姆) for the lady next door. Every two weeks she would pay me $80. I always looked forward to getting paid so I could go to the shopping centre with my friends on Saturday and spend the money on my favourite things.One Friday evening I heard my mom on the phone with our neighbor and I heard her say a fewtimes, “Oh, that is terrible.” After my mom hung up, I asked what was wrong. She said that the neighbor had no food in her house and that she didn’t k now what she was going to feed her daughter with. Her husband had spent their money on beer and got angry because his wife asked for money to buy groceries (食品杂货). He began to pull dishes out of the cupboards (壁橱) and threw them at the wall. So, the lady d idn’t have any groceries or dishes.I had an idea. I asked my mom to drive me to McDonald’s.I bought the lady and her daughter dinner with the babysitting money she had given me. After I had taken them dinner, I asked my mom to take me to the store and I bought the lady dishes and groceries with the rest of the money. When I knocked on the front door, the lady gave me a big hug and told me how grateful she was that I helped her. When Saturday came around, I didn’t have any money to go to the shopping centre with my friends, but I didn’t care, because I felt great that I was able to help this family.Later, we moved away from the area. I saw our neighbor three times and she always told me how much she thanked me for caring her and her daughter.1．The writer always looked forward to getting paid, so she could ________.A．buy dishes for her mum B．spend money on McDonald’sC．buy food for the lady’s daughter D．spend the money on her favourite things2．What did the writer buy for the lady?A．McDo nald’s, dishes and beer.

Then look for those clothes on sale.There are labels inside all new clothes. The labels tell you how to take care of your clothes.The label for a shirt may tell you to wash it in warm water. A sweater label may tell you to wash it in cold water. The label on a coat may say“dry－clean only”. Washing may ruin this coat.If you do as the directions say on the label, you can keep your clothes looking their best. Many clothes today must be dry－cleaned. Dry－cleaning is expensive. When buying new clothes, check to see if they will need to be dry－cleaned. You will save money if you buy clothes that can be washed.You can save money if you buy clothes that are well made.

And even if he does not become very rich,he wants people to think that he is. That is what "keeping up withthe Joneses" is about. It is the story of someone who tried to look as rich as his neighbors.The expression was first used in 1913 by a young American called Arthur Momand. He told this story about himself. He began earning $ 125 a week at the age of 23. That was a lot of money in those days. He got married and moved with his wife to a very wealthy neighborhood outside New York City. When he saw that rich people rode horses, Momand went horseback riding every day. When he saw that rich people had servants, Momand and his wife also hired a servant(仆人) and gave big parties for their new neighbors.It was like a race, but one could never finish his race because one was always trying to keep up. The race ended for Momand and his wife when they could no longer pay for their new way of life. They moved back to an apartment in New York City.Momand looked around him and noticed that many people do things just to keep up with rich lifestyle of their neighbors. He saw the funny side of it and started to write a series of short stories. He called it "Keeping up with the Joneses" because "Jones" is a very common name in the United States. "Keeping up with the Joneses" came to mean keeping up with rich lifestyle of the people around you. Momand’ s series appeared in different newspapers across the country for over 28 years.People never seem to get tired of keeping up with the Joneses. And there are “Joneses” in every city of the world. But one must get tired of trying to keep up with the Joneses because no matter what one does, Mr. Jones always seems to be ahead.1．（小题1）Some people want to keep up with the Joneses because they _______.A．want to be as rich as their neighborsB．want others to know or to think that they are richC．don't want others to know they are richD．want to make themselves happy2．（小题2）It can be inferred（推断）from the story that rich people like to_______.A．live outside New York City B．live in New York cityC．live in apartments D．have many neighbors3．（小题3）According to the writer, it is_______ to keep up with the Joneses.A．correct B．interestingC．impossible D．goodF18、Pictures That Don’t Last“YEARS ago when I was at the Grand Canyon, I remember someone coming up to the canyon’s edge, taking a shot with their camera and then walking awa y, like ‘got it –done’, barely even glancing at the magnificent (壮观的) scene sprawling (展开) in front of them,” Linda Henkel, a scientist at Fairfield University, US told Live Science.Henkel was surprised by how obsessed (着迷的) people are with taking pictures these days – before dinner, during friends’ birthday parties, on museum tours and so on. You know people just like that, don’t you?They keep taking pictures because they think that it helps record the moment, but as Henkel’s latest study has just found out, this obsession may prevent their brains from remembering what actually happened, reported The Guardian. In her study, Henkel led a group of college students around a museum and asked them to simply observe 15 objects and to photograph 15 others. The next day the students’ memory of the tour was tested, and the results showed that they were less accurate in recognizing the objects and they remembered fewer details about them if they photographed them. “When people rely on technology to remember for the m – counting on the camera to record the event and thus not needing to attend to it fully themselves, it can have a negative effect on how well they remember their experiences,” Henkel explained.But there is also an exception: if students zoomed (缩放) in to photograph part of an object, their memory actually improved, and those who focused the lens (镜头) on a specific area could even recall parts that weren’t in the frame.So basically, this study is saying that constantly taking pictures can harm your memor y. But shouldn’t reviewing pictures we have taken help wake up our memories? This is true, but only if we spend enough time doing it.“In order to remember, we have to access（接近）and interact with the photos, rather than justamassing them,” Henkel told The Telegraph. However, previous research has shown that most people never take the time to look over their digital pictures simply because there are too many of them and they aren’t usually very organized on their computers. 1．The author mentioned Henkel’s tri p to the Grand Canyon at the beginning to ______.A．complain about some tourists’ bad habitsB．give suggestions on how to enjoy one’s tourC．describe the great view of the Grand CanyonD．point out people’s obsession with taking pictures2．Which of the foll owing statements about Henkel’s study is TRUE?A．Reviewing pictures always helps people bring back memories.B．Taking pictures in a museum tour helps students recognize objects better.C．Pictures that focus on the details of objects are likely to improve p eople’s memories.D．People should spend more time studying real objects than taking pictures of them.3．The underlined word “amassing” in the last paragraph probably means ______.A．displaying B．collecting C．introducing D．remembering 4．What is the article mainly about?A．Some skills to learn for taking pictures.B．People’s obsession with taking pictures and its influence. C．How pictures remind us of our past.D．How to deal with pictures after taking trips.Ⅴ.书面表达19、书面表达。

"She was surrounded by her family and caregivers," a statement said.With her sweet smile and curly blonde hair, she was one of the most popular stars of the 1930s, in hit movies like Bright Eyes and Stand Up and Cheer.Her singing, dancing and acting won over fans worldwide. She was given a special Oscar in 1935, when she was just six years old. To this day, she is still the youngest person to receive the award.After retiring from films at the age of 21, Temple returned to the spotlight as a politician(政客) and diplomat（外交官）. Shirley Temple started her film career at three years old. Between 1934 and 1938 she appeared in more than 20 feature films and was the top US movie star at that time.As well as being the youngest ever winner of an Oscar (at the age of 6 years and 310 days), Temple was also the youngest person to present one of the statuettes(小雕像). She stood on a chair to give Claudette Colbert the best actress prize for It Happened One Night in1935.At the age of 12 Temple’s star burnt out -- her parents stopped her from making movies and sent her to a girls’ school. Her final film, A Kiss For Corliss, is available to watch online for free. This is star’s fin al ever moment on the big screen.

In 2011, America’s Favorite Quiz Show held a competition between two men and an IBM computer named “Watson”. IBM describes Watson as “a technology that understands all forms of data and also reasons and learns.” Both men thought they could beat Watson. Instead, the computer and its Artificial Intelligence soundly beat both of the human beings.ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE MADE SIMPLEArtificial Intelligence generally refers to machines with human-like intelligence, such as problem-solving and learning. In order to be considered AI, the computer must pass the Turing test, named after Turing, a British mathematician who worked with the first computer.In the 1950s, Turing published a paper questioning whether a computer could be used to trick humans into believing they were interacting（互动）with an actual human being. He found that if 30% of humans who interacted with a “machine”believed they were actually interacting with a human being, then the computer could be considered as AI.A simple example of AI is Apple’s Siri. Ask Siri to do anything, from calling a friend to booking a dinner table, and Siri can do them. Siri seems almost to be a human being. When you ask, “Are you a real person?” Siri answers, “That is a really personal question.”But just because a system can behave like a human being, that does not mean it can think like humans, Or, does it?JOINING OF HUMAN & MACHINEIt seems that our devices（设备）will turn into humans. Our phones already tell us to take an umbrella before we walk out the door. They volunteer traffic conditions so we know how long it will take to drive to work.Our devices can interact with us in a way that looks like a real conversation with another human being, like with Siri. It does not seem crazy at all to think that AI may be programmed to actually think. If it has not already happened, it will likely happen in the near future.Have we come to the time when computers and AI have caught up to human beings? Although computers have the ability to make our life better, is it possible that they may control and destroy human beings in the end?WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDSIt seems pretty clear that in the future, we’re g oing to see a human-machine hybrid. Humans will be stronger, live longer and be smarter. Ray Kurzweil, a computer scientist, believes that within 50 years, the humans on Earth will be about 50 to 80% robotic. There is no question that AI will be a part of every technology that humans create. Will it turn out be more of a benefit to humankind or will it be a risk and threaten（威胁到）humanity as we know it? If AI is programmed according to Isaac Asimov’s 3 Laws of Robotics, humans won’t have a problem with mach ines; but forsome, evil AI still stands in the way of a peaceful and safe life on Earth.1．The story of computer Watson is mentioned here to tell us that ______.A．the age of machines has comeB．humans make their own enemiesC．AI has actually come into our lifeD．humans are playing a dangerous game2．From the passage, we can learn that _____.A．Turing test was designed to examine the first computerB．machines interacting with humans can be called AIC．Siri can volunteer to book a dinner tableD．AI will help humans to be stronger and smarter3．What does the underlined expression “a human-machine hybrid” in the last paragraph probably mean?
