Kobe Bryant was a dominant athlete on the court
and was the closest player to Michael Jordan of the Chicago Bulls in his times when he played
20 seasons with the Los Angeles Lakers.In debates over the greatest NBA player of all time, it's likely Bryant's name always will come up among others like Jordan, LeBron James and Magic
Johnson.
Bryant was selected in the first round of the 1996 NBA Draft by the Charlotte Hornets. He
was chosen out of Lower Merion High School in Pennsylvania and was selected after players
like Kerry Kittles, Vitaly Potapenko, Todd Fuller and Erick Dampier. He then was traded to the
Los Angeles Lakers before the start of the season for Vlade Divac.
Bryant won five NBA championships— only second to Jordan in that regard. He won
three straight with Shaquille O’Neal in a Lakers dynasty that spanned several seasons. Toward
the latter half of his career, Bryant won two more with Pau Gasol. In 2009 and 2010, he was the
NBA Finals MVP. Bryant won one MVP award in 2008. He averaged 28.3 points, 6.3 rebounds
and 5.4 assists that year. However, they would fall short in the NBA Finals, losing to the Boston
Celtics in six games. He also won two gold medals with Team USA —in 2008 and 2012. As his
career was over, he won an Oscar for Best Animated Short Film for “Dear Basketball.”
Bryant died in a helicopter crash in California on Sunday January 26, 2020. He was 41.

For several months, Cara has been working up the courage to approach her mom about wha
t she saw on Instagram. Not long ago, the 11-year-old girl discovered that her mom had been
posting her photos for much of her life. “I’ve wanted to bring it up. It’s strange to see myself up
there, and sometimes there are pictures I don’t like of myself,” she said.
Like most other modern kids, Cara grew up under the influence of social media. Facebook,
Twiter and YouTube were all founded before she was born. Instagram has been around since
she was a toddler (学步儿童). While many kids may not yet have accounts themselves, their
parents, schools, sports teams have been organizing an online presence for them since birth. It is
a shock to know that details about their lives have been shared online without their permission
or knowledge. And this has become a common experience for many teenagers.
Recently a parenting blogger (博主)said that despite her 14-year-old daughter’s horror at
discovering that her mother had shared years of highly personal stories and information about
her online, she simply could not stop doing it.
But it’s not just crazy mommy bloggers who share their children’s information on social
media. Plenty of average parents do the same. There’s even a special word for it: sharenting (晒
娃). Almost a quarter of children begin their digital lives when parents upload their prenatal
sonogram scans (产前超声波扫描) to the Internet, according to a study conducted by the
Internet-security firm AVG. The study also found that 92 percent of kids under the age of 2
already have their own unique digital identity.
24. How does Cara feel about her mom’s behavior?
A. It’s supportive. B. It’s appropriate.
C. It’s annoying. D. It’s favorable.
25. Who is most likely to share children’s information?
A. A quarter of students. B. Some crazy doctors.
C. Kids under the age of 2. D. Many ordinary parents.
26. What can we learn from Paragraph 4?A. Fathers don’t like to share their kids’ information on social media.
B. 25% of children begin their digital lives before they are born.
C. The word “sharenting” can be found 10 years ago.
D. AVG is the name of an internet company.
17. What can be a suitable title for the article?
A. Growing up on the Internet B. A New Term Born
C. Parents Addicted to Blogging D. The Children’s Horror

We’ve heard of robots and AI（Artificial Intelligence）taking human jobs, but I bet
mayors（市长）don’t really think their jobs can be threatened any time soon. They were
wrong, and the AI running for the mayor of a Tokyo district was clear proof of that.
AI can’t legally run for high-ranking public management positions yet, but one mayoral
candidate from Tama City, Tokyo, intended to maximize the use of artificial intelligence in
running city affairs. He was running his campaign （竞选运动） as “AI Mayor”. Basically,
he was suggesting replacing human public officials with AI and having them collect city data
and create fair and balanced policies that will benefit everyone.
“For the first time in the world, AI will run in an election,” human candidate Michihito
Matsuda announced on Twitter. “Artificial Intelligence will change Toma City. With the birth
of an AI Mayor, we will conduct balanced politics.”
The AI Mayor was campaigning very much like its human competitors. Posters were
shown all over Tama City and campaign trucks were blaring out（大声鸣响）promises of an
AI utopia （乌托邦）and asking for support.
Some people called Michihito Matsuda’s campaign a stunt （噱头）, as a human would
still be the one legally in charge. However, others said that they were excited about the future of
AI running things in the background, adding that it had to be a better choice.
28. What’s the advantage of the AI mayor according to Michihito Matsuda?
A. Maximizing the use of AI. B. Replacing human officials.
C. Creating balanced policies. D. Bringing him beneficial effects.29. How will AI run for the mayor?
A. It will abolish many old policies.
B. It will ask for support on the Internet.
C. It will make public speeches, dressed like a human.
D. It will compete similarly to human competitors.
30. What’s the citizens’ attitude toward Michihito Matsuda’s campaign?
A. They believe AI will win. B. All consider it to be tricky.
C. It is supposed to be a failure definitely. D. Some think it’s worthy of expectation.
31. What is the best title for the passage?
A. AI Runs for the Mayor. B. The Advantages of AI.
C. AI Replaces Human in Management. D. The Patterns of AI Management.
D
"What kind of rubbish are you?" This question might normally cause anger, but in
Shanghai it has become a special "greeting" among people over the past week. On July 1st, the
city introduced strict trash-sorting regulations （条例〉that are required to follow and
expected to be used as a model for our country. Residents must divide their waste into four
separate categories and toss （投放）it into specific public dustbins. They must do so at
specified times, when monitors are present to ensure correct trash-tossing and to ask the nature
of one's rubbish. Individuals who fail to follow the regulations face the possibility of fines and
worse. They could be punished with fines of up to 200 yuan （ $ 29）. For those who repeat
to go against them, the government can add black marks to their credit records, making it harder
for them to get bank loans or even buy train tickets.
Shanghai government is responding to an obvious environmental problem. It generates 9
million tons of garbage a year, more than London's annual output, which is rising quickly. But
like other cities in China, it lacks a recycling system. Instead, it has relied on trash pickers to sift
（筛选）through the waste, picking out whatever can be reused. This has limits. As people
get wealthier, fewer of them want to do such dirty work. The waste, meanwhile, just keeps
piling up.Many residents appear to support the idea of recycling in general but are annoyed by the
details. Rubbish must be divided according to whether it is food, recyclable, dry or harmful, the
distinctions among which can be confusing, though there are apps to help work it out. Some
have complained about the rules concerning food waste. They must put it straight in the
required public bins, forcing them to tear open plastic bags and toss it by hand. What they
complain most is the short periods for dropping trash, typically a couple of hours, morning and
evening. Along with the monitors at the bins, this means that people go at around the same time
and can keep an eye on what is being thrown out； no one wants to look bad.
32. What do we know about the trash-sorting regulations in Shanghai?
A. They are the first of their kind. B. They are tied to one's bank account.
C. They have the highest fines. D. They're aided by monitors.
33. Why has Shanghai introduced the trash-sorting regulations?
A. There are fewer and fewer trash pickers.
B. It aims to build a new recycling system.
C. It faces more and more serious garbage problems.
D. People throw the rubbish here and there.
34. What makes the residents upset most about the regulations?
A. Limited time for tossing the trash.
B. Confusing distinction among the categories of trash.
C. Being fined due to improper behavior.
D. Being watched by monitors when throwing the garbage.
35. What can be the best title for the text?
A. A Good Way of Trash-sorting
B. A New Era of Garbage Classification
C. A Great Time in Dealing with Litter
D. An Effective Solution to Rubbish Problem
