I had quite a weekend planned (parties and a football game with my friends tomorrow afternoon), so I shrugged（耸肩） my shoulders and went on.As I was walking, I saw a bunch of kids running and pushing each other around in the halls. They were quitting their homework and laughing and causing chaos. Kyle was just sitting there all by himself making himself comfortable with his books. I couldn't believe it.

For most of the past 20 years, they spent their eveningsreminding their children to do homework and helping them complete it.Now the evenings are empty except for TV, and the weekends seem to last forever.

Next !" This version of the expression in spoken by a salesgirl at thesupermarket who is rushing me and my groceries out the door. The words come out in thesame tone (腔调) with a fixed procedure. They are spoken at me, not to me.Obviously, the concern for my day and everyone else's is the management's attempt to increasebusiness.The expression in one of those behaviors that help peopleget along with each other.Sometimes it indicates the end of a meeting. As soon as you hear it, you know the meeting isat an end. Sometimes the expression saves us when we don't know what to say. "Oh, you justhad a tooth out? I'm terribly sorry, but have a nice day. "The expression can be pleasant. If a strangers says "Have a nice day" to you, you may find itheart -warming because someone you don't know has tried to be nice to you.Although the use of the expression is an insincere, meaningless custom at times, there isnothing wrong with the sentence except that it is a little uninteresting. The salesgirl, thewaitress, the teacher, and all the countless others who speak it without thinking may not reallycare about my day. But in a strange, and comfortable way, it is nice to know they care enoughto pretend they care when they really don't care all that much.

Have a Nice Day-a Polite Ending of a ConversationBI have been consistenly opposed to feeding a baby regularly. As a doctor, mother and scientistin child development I believe there is nothing to recommend it, from the baby's point of view.Mothers, doc tors and nur se alike have no idea of where a baby's blood sugar level lies. All weknow is that a low level is harmful to brain development and makes a baby easily annoyed. Inthis state, the baby is difficult to calm down and sleep is impossible. The baby asks forattention by crying and searching for food with its mouth.It is not just unkind but also dangerous to say a four-hourly feeding schedule will make a babysatisfied. The first of the experts to advocate a strict clock-watching schedule was Dr FredericTruby King who was against feeding in the night. I've never heard anything so ridiculous. Babyfeeding shouldn't follow a timetable set by the mum. What is important is feeding a baby In thebest way, though it may cause some inconvenience in the first few weeks.Well, at last we have copper-bottomed research that supports demand feeding and points outthe weaknesses of strictly timed feeding . The research finds out that babies who are fed ondemand do better at school at age 5, 7 , 11 and 14, than babies fed according to the clock. Bythe age of 8, their IQ (智商)scores are four to five percent higher than babies fed by a rigidtimetable. ThisResearch comes from Oxford and Essex University using a sample (样本)of 10,419 childrenborn in the early 1990s,taking account of parental education, family income, a child's sex andage, the mother's health and feeding style. These results don't surprise me. Feeding accordingto schedule runs the risk of harming the rapidly growing brain by taking no account of sinkingblood sugar levels.I hope this research will put an end to advocating strictly timed baby feeling practices.31.According to Paragraph 2,one reason why a baby cries is that it feels______.A. sickB. upsetC. sleepyD. hungry32.What does the author think about Dr King?A. He is strictB. He is unkindC. He has the wrong idea.D. He sets a timetable for mothers33.The word copper-bottomed in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to _________.A. basicB. reliableC. surprisingD. interesting34.What does the research tell us about feeling a baby on demand?A. The baby will sleep well.B. The baby will have its brain harmed.C. The baby will have a low blood sugar level.D. The baby will grow to be wiser by the age of 8.35.The author supports feeling the baby_______.A .in the night B. every four hoursC. whenever it wants foodD. according to its blood sugar levelCI w as blind, but I was ashamed of it if it was known. I refused to use a white stick and hatedasking for help. After all, I was a teenager girl, and I couldn't bear people to look at me andthink I was not like them. I must have been a terrible danger on the roads, Coming across mewandering through the traffic, motorists probably would have to step rapidly on their brakes.Apart from that, there were all sorts of disasters that used to occur on the way to and fromwork.One evening, I got off the bus about halfway home where I had to change buses, and as usual Iran into something,"I'm awfully sorry,"I said and stepped forward only to run into it again.When it happened a third time, I realized I had been apologizing to a lamppost. This was justone of the stupid things that constantly happened to me. So I carried on and found the busstop, which was a request stop, where the bus wouldn't stop unless passengers wanted to geton or off. No one else was there and I had to try to guess if the bus had arrived.Generally in this situation, because I hated showing I was blind by asking for help, I tried toguess at the sound .Sometimes I would stop a big lorry and stand there feeling stupid as itdrew away. In the end, I usually managed to swallow my pride and ask someone at the stopfor help.But on this particular evening no one joined me at the stop; It seemed that everyone hadsuddenly decided not to travel by bus. Of course I heard plenty of buses pass, or I thought Idid. But because I had given up stopping them for fear of making a fool of myself, I let them allgo by. I stood there alone for half an hour without stopping one. Then I gave up. I decided towalk on to the next stop.36.The girl refused to ask for help because she thought______.A. she might be recognized B .asking for help looked sillyC. she was normal and independentD. being fond blind was embarrassing37.After the girl got off the bus that evening, she_____.A. began to runB. hit a person as usualC. hit a lamppost by accidentD. was caught by something38.At the request stop that evening, the girl____.A stopped a big lorry B. stopped the wrong busC. made no attempt to stop the busD. was not noticed by ot her people39.What was the problem with guessing at the sound to stopa bus?A. Other vehicles also stopped there.B. It was unreliable for making judgments.C. More lorries than buses responded to the girl.D. It took too much time for the girl to catch the bus.40.Finally the girl decided to walk to the next stop, hoping_____A. to find people thereB. to find more buses thereC. to find the bus by herself thereD. to find people more helpful there。

Time was limited and my plan included a quick turn-around trip from and back to the airport. A spotless taxi pulled up. The driver rushed to open the passenger door for me and made sure I was comfortably seated before he closed the door. Ashe got in the driver s seat, he mentioned that theneatly-folded Wall Street Journal next to me was for my use. He then showed me several tapes and asked me what type of music I would enjoy. I could not believe the service I was receiving! I took the opportunity to say, Obviously you take great pride in your work. You must have a story to tell.You bet, he replied, I used to be in Microsoft. But I got tired of it, thinking my best would never be good enough.

A human being or artificial intelligence(人工智能)?The question swept the world last week when a Google-developed program called AlphaGo defeated the world top player, South Korean Lee Se-del, 4-1.So, what comes next?Some people have been arguing that artificial intelligence, or AI in short, will be a bad thing for humans. In an interview with the BBC in 2014, UK scientist Stephen Hawking warned that the development of full artificial intelligence could mean the end of the human race.So are we really about to live in the world shown in the Terminator movies?Not quite, answered The Economist. After all, it s not hard to get a computer program to remember and produce facts. What is hard is getting computers to use their knowledge in everyday situations.We think that, for the human being, things like sight and balance(视觉平衡), are natural and ordinary in our life. Thomas Edison, founder of Motion Figures, a company that is bringing AI to boys, told the newspaper. But for a robot, to walk up and down just like human beings requires various decisions to be made every second, and it s really difficult to do.As The Economist put it, We have a long way to go before AI can truly begin to be similar to the human brain, even though the technology can be great.Meanwhile, John Markoff of The New York Times saidthat researchers should build artificial intelligence to make people more effective.Our fate is in our own hands, he wrote. Since technology depends on the values of its creators, we can make human choices that use technology to improve the world.28.What was the result of the match?A.Lee Se-del won AlphaGo 4-1.B.Lee Se-del was defeated.C.Google program beat AlphaGo.D.Neither side won the match.29.What does Thomas Edison possibly mean in his remarks?A.It s very hard for AI to beat the human brain.B.AI would take the place of human beings.C.AI can make various decisions quickly.D.AI does better than humans in sight and balance.30.Who believes much has to be done to improve AI?A.Stephen Hawking.B.John Markoff.C.The New York Times.D.The Economist.31.What does the underlined part in the last paragraph imply?A.AI will improve the world completely.B.AI is in thecontrol of human beings.C.AI may bring disasters to human beings.D.AI will make our future out of control.DHumans and many other mammals have unusually efficient internal temperature regulating systems that automatically maintain stable core body temperatures(核心体温)in cold winters and warm summers. In addition, people have developed cultural patterns and technologies that help them adjust to extremes of temperature and humidity(湿度).In very cold climates, there is a constant danger of developing hypothermia(低体温), which is a life threatening drop in core body temperature to below normal levels. The normal temperature for humans is about 37.0 C. However, differences in persons and even the time of day can cause it to be as much as 6 C higher or lower in healthy individuals. It is also normal for core body temperature to be lower in elderly people. Hypothermia begins to occur when the core body temperature drops to 34.4 C. Below 29.4 C, the body cools more rapidly because its natural temperature regulating system usually fails. The rapid decline in core body temperature is likely to result in death. However, there havebeen rare cases in which people have been saved after their temperatures had dropped to 13.9-15.6 C. This happened in 1999 to a Swedish woman who was trapped under an ice sheet infreezing water for 80 minutes. She was found unconscious, not breathing, and her heart had stopped beating, yet she was eventually saved despite the fact that her temperature had dropped to 13.7 C. In extremely hot climates or as a result of uncontrollable infections, core body temperatures can rise to equally dangerous levels. This is hyperthermia. Life threatening hyperthermia typically starts in humans when their temperatures rise to 40.6-41.7 C. Only a few days at this extraordinarily high temperature level is likely to result in the worsening of internal organs and death.32.Why can humans keep stable body temperatures in different seasons?A.Because their bodies are unusually efficient.B.Because they experience different climates.C.Because they can adjust to cultural patterns and technologies.D.Because they have internal temperature regulating systems.33.What does Paragraph 2 mainly discuss?A.The dangerous effects of hypothermia.B.The change of body temperature.C.The survival of the Swedish woman.D.The regulating systems of natural temperature.34.People are unlikely to survive under the body temperature .A.higher than 34.4 CB.lower than 29.4 CC.between 40.6-41.7 CD.between 34.4-37 C35.What is the best title for the passage?A.Surviving in an ice trapB.Getting to know hypothermiaC.Adapting to climate extremesD.Changing core body temperature第二节(共5 小题;每小题2 分，满分10 分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

I’ve read lots of stories about family memories. In those 41 , I’ve found voice of sadness and longing. It’s true that so much in our daily lives makes us 42 all the time. We find ourselves with less and less time to spend with our 43 and friends. I’ve had the same 44 myself.I used to have 45 times with my grandfather when we lived together. When I was very young, I often enjoyed spending time in his 46 , watching the flowers and watering the fruit trees. But as I grew up, I 47 became “selfish”.Once, when I was 6, we went shopping together. As we took the wrong bus and ended up getting 48 , unable to find our way back, I couldn’t stay 49 and shouted rudely in his face. I was so stubborn that I wouldn’t say sorry 50 returning home, thinking I had done nothing wrong.Now I 51 how ridiculous(荒唐的)I was at the time!
