When I was a kid, I was the girl who kept the training wheels on my bike as long
as possible. Even my younger sister had got rid of them much earlier than me. But as I
began to grow older, this changed.
All this happened on the Bike Safety Day. It is supposed to be a fun day at school
when all of us kids bring our bikes to school and the school provides us with the
opportunity to ride outside and learn proper bike safety. Sounds like fun, right? No. In
fact, it caused me to panic. What was I going to say when my friends asked me about
my training wheels?
With the pressure of everyone seeing my training wheels, I determined to let them
go. This was the first big change I’d ever made on my own.
I went to my parents and told them all about my dilemma. They were more than
happy to help. We went outside and got my bike. Instead of running away and hiding
behind, I stood in front of my bike and took great pride in my decision as my dad
removed the training wheels.
I got on and steadied myself. My heart raced but my feet and hands were calm. My
dad started to push before my feet even moved and suddenly I was off. The fear faded
away and a relaxed mind came into its place. It was crazy to think how quickly I learned
something that took so long for me to even try!
My confidence soared(猛涨).This was going to be the start of a brand new world
for me. My accomplishment would carry me forth to new goals and wins. I realized that
if I set my mind to something, I could achieve it.
24. What does the school expect the students to do on Bike Safety Day? A. Have their bikes checked. B. Ride outside for fun.
C. Acquire bike safety skills. D. Remove the training wheels.
25. What does the underlined word “them”(in Paragraph 3)refer to?
A. The author's friends. B. The author's parents.
C. The safety problems. D. The training wheels.
26. What happened when the author finally rode without the training wheels?
A. She felt extremely embarrassed.
B. Everything turned out to be easy.
C. She ended up flat on the ground.
D. Her sisters followed her example.
27. What does the author think is necessary for her to achieve a goal?
A. Patience. B. Determination.
C. Pressure. D. Concentration.

Google says it will no longer permit its artificial intelligence, or AI technology to
be used in any activities involving weapons(武器). The policy was one of several new
principles aimed at guiding the company's development and sale of AI technology and
tools.
The principles were announced after, more than 4,000 Google employees signed a
document calling for the company to cancel an AI agreement, known as Project Maven,
with the U.S. Department of Defense.
Kirk Hanson is director of the Markkula Center for Applied Ethics at Santa
Clara University in California. The censer examines how ethics can be used as
guidelines for technology development. He decided that the protest by Google
employees against the U.S. military agreement was based on fears: that AI technology
could lead to the creation of weapons which might cause disasters to humans.
“If you have artificial intelligence which identifies targets and automatically
launches( 发 射 )weapons, you have an autonomous weapon. Just as with driverless
vehicles, autonomous weapon systems may not be as safe as their supporters promise.
We should be more concerned about how an autonomous weapon might make a mistake.
Is that artificial intelligence targeting system as good as we think it is? And until we
have trust that those systems will not make mistakes, we’re going to keep skeptical
about the use of artificial intelligence.”
A top Department of Defense official was asked about the use of autonomous
weapons during an event last year at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in
Washington: Air Force Gen. Paul J. Selva, vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff,
said such systems should never be used to replace human commanders.
Google chief Pichai said the company does not plan to stop providing AI
technology for all military uses. He said Google will still seek government projects in
areas such as military training, Internet security and search and rescue.
28.What new policy has Google announced about its AI technology?
A. To expand its application fields.
B. To absorb advanced technologies.
C. To encourage its exchange activities.
D. To restrict serving military purposes.
29.The underlined word "ethics"(in Paragraph 3)probably means________.A. moral principles B. military challenges
C. traditional virtues D. applied technologies
30. What is Hanson’s attitude to the Al technology for defense?
A. Enthusiastic. B. Doubtful. C.Positive. D. Confused.
31.What can we infer about Google and the Department of Defense?
A. They blame each other for the deal.
B. They share the same concern about AI.
C. No more deals will be possible between them.
D. They will continue to cooperate in other areas.

Mosquitoes have an extraordinary ability to target humans far away and fly straight
to their unprotected skin. Regrettably, mosquitoes can do more than cause an itchy(发痒
的 ) wound. Some mosquitoes spread several serious diseases, including Dengue,
yellow fever and malaria.
Over one million people worldwide die from these diseases each year. New
research now shows how mosquitoes choose who to bite.
Mosquitoes need blood to survive. They are attracted to human skin and breath.
They smell the carbon dioxide gas, which all mammals breathe out. This gas is the main
way for mosquitoes to know that a warm-blooded creature is nearby.
But mosquitoes also use their eyes and sense of touch. Michael Dickinson is a
professor at the California Institute of Technology. His research shows how these small
insects, with even smaller brains, use three senses to find a blood meal.
Michael Dickinson’s team used plumes(羽状物)—a material that rises into the air
of carbon dioxide gas into a wind tunnel. They then used cameras to record the
mosquitoes. The insects followed the plume.
Then, the scientists placed dark objects on the lighter colored floor and walls of
the tunnel. Mr. Dickinson said, at first, the mosquitoes showed no interest in the objects
at all.“What was quite striking and quite surprising is that the mosquitoes fly back and
forth for hours. These are hungry females and they completely ignore the objects on the
floor and wall of the tunnel. But the moment they get a hit of CO2,they change their
behavior quite obviously and now would become attracted to these little visual blobs
(斑点).”
This suggested to the researchers that a mosquito’s sense of smell is more
important in the search for food. Once mosquitoes catch a smell of a human or animal,
they also follow visual signals.
32.What do mosquitoes mainly use to find their targets?
A. Sense of smell. B. Sense of touch.
C. Sense of sight. D. Smart brains.
33. The first response of the mosquitoes to the objects in the experiment is______ .
A. to fly to the dark ones
B. to catch and stick to them
C. to take no notice of them
D. to attach themselves to them
34. How can we avoid being attacked by mosquitoes according to the text ? A. Don’t let them see us.
B. Use dark objects to stop them.
C. Make them fly back and forth for hours.
D. Attract them to objects full of carbon dioxide gas.
35. What can be the best title for the text?
A. How Do Mosquitoes Survive?
B. Why Do Mosquitoes Need Blood?
C. How Do Mosquitoes Choose to Bite You?
D. Why Do Mosquitoes Attack the Human Being?

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。选项中有两项
为多余选项。
Feeling Phone-overwhelmed(压倒一切的)?
Many people are feeling"phone-overwhelmed", longing for a "simpler time" when
smartphones didn't exist. Actually you don't necessarily need to flush your brand new
iPhone down the toilet or vow(发誓) to never, ever touch again. Things don't have to be
that black or white. 36_______ Here are a few simple steps!
Make a plan. To earn a college degree, you select specific classes happening at
specific times and you attend them. This keeps you on track, moving steadily towards
your goal. 37_______ Choose specific times to check texts, social media updates, and
so on, and then do your best to stick to the plan. Create phone-routines that help you to
create the kind of day(and life)that you want.
Enjoy the sound of silence to the fullest.If your phone is continually bleeping and
pinging every time something happens, it's going to be tough for you to stay
focused--you'll be tempted to check in and see what's up! It may seem obvious to turn
off those noises. 38_______ You can also create a "call filter(过滤器)" so that certain
people's calls come through even if your phone is on "silent." That way you can rest
easy, knowing you won't miss something truly urgent.
39_______ For many couples and families, dinnertime is the only time of the day
when everyone is gathered together in one place. Make dinner a special time without
technology distractions. No phones at the table. If people get restless or bored, start an
interesting conversation by playing a question game.
Ask yourself, “ What am I desiring right now? ” When you feel the urge to
check your phone, and you don't really need to, pause for moment. 40_______ Do you
seek out company, entertainment or inspiration? Whatever you want, see if you can find
a non-phone-related way to satisfy yourself. Go for a jog, listen to music or pay a visit
to a friend's house to say "hi". Feeding your spirit in the real world, you may discover
that the “phone world” just isn't that appealing anymore.
A. Take some phone-free time.
B. Make dinnertime a phone-free zone.
C. Check and see what you want.
D. See how it feels to move freely without your phone.
E. You can apply that same logic to your smartphone usage.
F.You can take specific steps to create healthier,more balanced relations of technology.
G.Better yet, turn the volume on your phone down to zero or power down your phone

白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
We love letters. Just as John Donne, a poet, 41_____ it, "Letters, to me and my
friends mean 42_____ greetings; they get souls together. Thanks to letters, friends
who are 43_____ speak." He wrote these words nearly 400 years ago. Today, in the age
of instant text message, social media, and email, they 44_____ ring truer than ever,
because writing or receiving a letter has become such a 45_____event.
A UK-wide survey undertaken by Sunday Times suggests that one in four of us has
not 46_____ a letter for at least 10 years. That's ten years without the bitter-sweet
47_____ of pacing the floor waiting for the 48_____; ten years without recognizing the
handwriting on the envelope and eagerly 49_____ the letter to read its content.
We 50_____ not get them any more, but we still love handwritten letters. In the
same survey, one third of 51_____ people interviewed say that they 52_____ the
content of sentimental( 充 满 情 感 的 )letters. Shouldn't we make 53_____ to give our
friends and families what they will treasure forever? Ann Bickley went online in 2013
and offered to handwrite a letter to anyone who 54_____ her. Her website received
50,000 55_____ in its first three months. Five years later, she is still the main 56_____
behind one-million-lovely-letter.com and has personally written 4,000 letters offering
hope and 57_____ to strangers.
The thought behind a letter 58_____ as much as its contents. "I never tell anyone
that 59_____is going to be OK,"Ann Bickley says,"I am letting someone know that
there is someone in the world who 60_____ them."
Who wouldn't love to receive a letter like that? Let's get writing!

Located on the island of Pemba, Vanta Resort is a remote and luxurious hotel,
famed for its
unique underwater room that allows guests to enjoy the 61_________(beauty)marine
life of the Indian Ocean from the comfort of their bed!
The unusual room floats almost 250 meters away from the coast and
62_________(hold)in place by several anchoring lines( 锚 索 )leading to the ocean
floor.The top two floors of the underwater room are above the surface of the water. At
sea level, the landing deck in 63_________ middle contains an area for resting and
dining as well as the bathroom facilities. 64_________(guest) can also climb a ladder
onto the top deck to lay out 65_________the sun or gaze up at the stars during the night.
Of course, the real attraction is the bedroom on the bottom level, 66_________
sits four meters beneath the surface of the water. Besides a double bed
67_________(lie)on, the room also has two large windows on each wall,
68_________(give)almost total 360-degree view of the water around it. Each window
even has underwater spotlights on the outside that attract and illuminate(照明) nearby
sea creatures at night, so guests can watch them as they drift off to sleep.
As you can 69_______ (probable) guess, the cost to enjoy such a hotel room
isn't cheap. Spending one night in the underwater room costs US $1,500 for two
people on top of the regular cost of the resort, which 70_______ (vary) depending on
the time of year and duration of your stay.
