For 16 years,she loved her dear pet cat Blondie very much and wanted to spend as much time with her as possible. It is totally understandable that she had a special feeling for Blondie because she,d saved her from a building in Forth Worth. But recently,shortly after she and her husband had realized that Blondie seemed to be getting sick,the elderly cat died in her arms on her way to the pet hospital. Naturally,Mrs. Andrews was heart broken.After Blondie,s death,Mrs.Andrews went to work every day,feeling upset. She couldn,t help but share the sad news of her sad loss with some of her students at Joshua High School in Joshua, TX,and shortly after,a few of the girls in her class came up with a few surprises to cheer her up.As one student filmed the moment,the girls first gave her some white roses,followed by cupcakes and balloons to express their care. Mrs.Andrews seemed touched,but it was their next surprise that deeply moved her and that everyone was talking about.All that the shocked teacher could seem to say was,“Are they for me?”as she held the baby cats named Missy and Girlie.“I knew something was going on when only half of my class was in my room,second period the next day when the bell rang,”Andrews told the Huffington Post,feeling thankful. “Then she held them out to me and said they were mine. My heart can now experience happiness again.”What the high school students did is really meaningful,especially for people who have gone through loss,like Tonya Andrews. The good news is that it certainly looks like it was worth all the effort. Tonya Andrews finally was happy when her students did kind things for her.24. Why did Mrs.Andrews have a special feeling for Blondie?A. Because Blondie got sick.B. Because she was always lonely.C. Because Blondie was her first pet.D. Because she saved Blondie from a building.25. What did Mrs.Andrews do after Blondie died?A. She shared the sad news with her students.B. She bought two baby cats,Missy and Girlie.C. She got into an argument with her husbanD.D. She gave up her job at Joshua High School.26. According to the passage,what are Mrs.Andrews, students like?A. Confident and honest.B. Understanding and caring.C. Humorous and active.D. Brave and strong wille D.CZoos are hugely popular attractions for adults and children alike. But are they actually a good thing?Those people who are against zoos would argue that animals often suffer(遭受痛苦)physically and mentally by being enclose'd. Even the best man made environments can't come close to matching the space,diversity (多样性),and freedom that animals have in their natural homes. This causes many zoo animals to become sick. Catching animals in the wild also causes much suffering by separating families. Some zoos make animals behave unnaturally. For example,ocean parks often force dolphins and whales to perform. These sea animals dolphin may die years earlier than their wild relatives.On the other hand,by bringing people and animals together,zoos can educate the public about animal protection and encourage people to save animals and their homes. Some zoos provide a safe environment for animals which have been mistreated in circuses,or pets which have been given up and no longer wante D. Zoos also carry out important research into subjects like animal behavior and how to treat illness. circusOne of the most important modern functions of zoos is supporting international breeding (繁衍)programs,especially for endangered species (物种). In the wild,some of the species have difficulty in finding mates and breeding,and they might also be hurt or even killed by people. A good zoo will enablethese species to live and breed in a safe environment. In addition,as numbers of some wild species drop,there is an increased danger of populations becoming too genetically(基因上)similar. Breeding programs provide a safeguard:zoo bred animals can be put into the wild to increase genetic diversity.However,those people who are against zoos say that many zoo bred animals are not put back into the wild. A lot of animals are sold not only to other zoos but also to circuses in the US or wild parks in South Africa,where some people are willing to pay a lot of money for the chance to kill a helpless animal. Often,these animals are familiar with humans and have very little chance of escaping.So,are zoos good for animals or not?Perhaps it all depends on how well zoos are managed,and the benefits of zoos can surely outweigh their harmful effects. However,it is understandable that many people believe enclosing animals for any reason is simply wrong.27. According to Paragraph 2,some sea animals may die earlier than their wild relatives because. A. they were born in the ocean park B. they don't have enough living spaceC. they are forced to behave unnaturallyD. they suffer from family separation28. What is the main purpose of international breeding program?A. To increase genetic diversity.B. To protect mistreated animals.C. To free enclosed animals.D. To do research on animal behavior.29. What,s the author,s opinion of zoos?A. He doubts the value of zoos.B. He is a true supporter of all kinds of zoos.C. He is against the idea of having zoos aroundD. He sees the importance of the zoo management.DThe Rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI;人工智能)discusses AI technology and how it mightaffect humans in the future,but the future is already here. In 2011,America's Favorite Quiz Showheld 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 bested both ofthe 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 Alan Turing,a British mathematician who worked with the first computers.In the 1950s,Turing published a paper questioning whether a computer could be used to trickhumans into believing they were interacting(互动)with an actual human being. He found that if30% 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 bookinga dinner table,and Siri can do it. Siri seems almost human. When you ask,“Are you a realperson?”Siri answers,“That is a really personal question.”But,just because a system can behave like humans 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 willtake 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 likely will 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 going to see a human machine hybrid. Humans will be stronger,live longer and be smarter. Ray Kurzweil,a computer scientist,believes that within50 years,the humans on Earth will be about 50 to 80% robotic. There is no question that AI will bea part of every technology that humans create. Will it turn out to 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 machines;but for some,evil AI still stands in the way of a peaceful and safe life on earth.30. 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 game31. From the passage we can learn that .A. Turing test was designed to examine the first computersB. machines interacting with humans can be called AIC. Siri can volunteer to book a dinner tableD. AI will help humans to be stronger and smarter32. What does the underlined expression “a human machine hybrid”probably mean?A. a machine with a human lookB. a human created by machinesC. a body part robotic part humanD. a robot that can behave like humans33. The passage is mainly about .A. the history and future of AIB. the advantages and disadvantages of AIC. the examples of AID. the competition between humans and AI四､阅读短文,根据短文内容回答问题｡(共10 分,每小题2 分)Albino PowerI was born an albino(白化病患者)in Scranton,Pennsylvania,in 1945. No one in my familyhad ever known what an albino was,what it meant to be an albino,what had to be done differently because I was an albino.My parents and friends treated me just like they treated everybody else. That was just about the best thing they could have done. It gave me a leg up on trusting myself,so when troubles came along,I could deal with them.True,my schoolbook photo always looked like a snowball with two pieces of coal for eyes. Like most albinos,I had terrible eyesight,but the fact that I could hardly see didn,t worry me all that much.Kids laughed at me,calling me “Whitey”. People stared at me when I held reading material right at the tip of my nose so I could see it well enough to rea D. Even when I was eight or nine, movie theater workers started asking me to pay adult prices because I “looked older”.The worst part for me was that because my eyesight was so bad,I couldn,t play sports very well.I didn,t give up trying,though. I practiced playing basketball every day. And I studied harder.Finally,I got better at school and loved it. By the time I got to college,I was doublemajoring(专业),going to summer school and taking part in every kind of after class activity I could find. I had learned to be proud of being an albino. I did my best to make “albino”a positive word.And I decided to make my living with my eyes -and in sports.I couldn't see well enough to play sports,but with a good and long lasting education and the drive to do it,I could make a living involved in the area I loved. I,ve done it now for more thanthirty years in print and in video,and now in cyberspace. People make jokes about how I,m the only “blind editor(编辑)”they know,but the jokes are friendly smiles now,and some of them are signsof respect. And I make jokes about being an albino. I have even developed an all white routine,ifyou could call it that.I was just a proud albino kid from the coal country of Pennsylvania. I now realize that beingborn an albino helped me to get over difficulties,become confident,and be proud of my personal achievement.34. How did the writer's parents and friends treat him?35. Why couldn,t the writer play sports very well?36. What was the writer doing by the time he got to college?37. What does the writer think of the “blind editor”jokes now?38.

As a writer of Wowee Magazine, if you want to get more money, you'll have to ________.A. be chatty and passionateB. have valuable work experienceC. write more articles for the magazineD. have your articles read by more peopleBLu Xun is one of the greatest Chinese writers of the 20th century. Besides his famous stories, he also wrote many articles about the living conditions（环境）of Chinese people.Born in 1881 to a wealthy family, Lu Xun had a happy childhood. In 1893, however, his grandfather, a senior government official, was put into prison（监狱）for taking money. At the same time, his father became ill. From then on, his family were no longer accepted by their relatives and friends. These early experiences influenced his writing.By the time Lu Xun arrived in Nanjing to study at university in 1899, he already believed that the old Chinese society had to change and become modern. In 1902 he went to study in Japan. There, he began writing articles for several Chinese student magazines. He showed a gift for writing and translating and even wrote several books. He returned to China in 1909 .After working for several years as a teacher in Beijing, Lu Xun again returned to writing. In 1918, he wrote his famous short story Diary of a Madman. It was the first Chinese novel published using the everyday language that people spoke, which made it a great success. This, together with his novel The True Story of Ah Q (1921), made Lu Xun a leading Chinese writer. Although successful, Lu Xun still worried about China's future. In 1926, he moved to Shanghai and gave up writing stories in order to devote himself to what he called "pen warfare". Since his death in 1936, Lu Xun's importance and influence have grown. Today, many of his writings are included in school textbooks and his works are read by millions of people around the world.4. Which of the following influenced Lu Xun's writing according to the passage?A. The people he met in Japan.B. The experience in his early life.C. Working as a teacher in Beijing.D.

Some people feel it safe to follow other people. In some rare cases it might be right, but in most cases this can make a big mistake. Ninety-five percent of people never succeed because they are following the wrong group. Actually there are reasons why we shouldn't follow others blindly.According to a study, people always follow others when they aren't sure about the direction they should take. This means a large number of people could be following others without understanding what's right and what's wrong! This attracts more people to follow them and the result is that most people move in a certain direction even if it is wrong.A man who wants to be successful always hopes for others' guidance and he usually follows the same path of most people, but the question this man never asks himself is, "Are all of those people successful?" Of course not! If you want to follow a group, then follow a successful one. However, in real life you'll only find one successful person among hundreds of people, and that's why following others makes no sense at all.Most people act without thinking wisely. If you always follow others because they're greater than you, then sooner or later you'll discover that you're making decisions you might regret(后悔) later.However, should we never follow others? No. But just asking you to think wisely before you make a decision. If you find others are right, there is no problem in following them, but if you have doubts(怀疑) about the direction they're moving in, don't follow them blindly.8. Why do most people like to follow others blindly according to the passage?A. Because they don't want to be different.B. Because they are effected by their people around them.C. Because they're sure to take the right direction.D. Because they want to make themselves successful.9. What does the underlined word "rare" mean in Chinese?A.多数的B. 特殊的C. 稀薄的D. 少数的10. What's the main idea of the passage?A. Advantages of following others blindly.B. Examples of following others.C. Reasons of not following others blindly.D. Ways of following others blindly.11. What's the best structure(结构) of the passage?(①=Paragraph 1,②= Paragraph2, ③=Paragraph3, ④=Paragraph4, ⑤=Paragraph5 )DThink you're ready to keep a pet at home? Having a dog is a wonderful experience, which brings lots of fun and keeps from being loneliness. But it also needs lots of attention and responsibility (责任).Before you decide to get a dog, you should prepare yourself and your home. Dogs, especially young ones, need more time and responsibility. While housetraining your dog, plan to take it outside every day. 12Don't let a young dog run freely around your house, or you'll lose shoes or toys. Dogs also need to exercise twice a day. 13 We're talking about a lot of active exercise.A fenced (篱笆) yard with a doghouse is a good idea, especially for large and active dogs. But dogs should never be left outside alone for long periods of time. They need someone to stay with them. 14When you take your dog for a walk or run, always keep it on a chain and off other people. You are responsible (负责的)for accidents and bites caused by your dog. You should always pick up after your dog, no matter where it "does its business".Respect your dog. 15 There's truth to the saying, "Dogs are man's best friends!"A.
