Luke Grenfell-Shaw has a rare form of cancer. It started as a pain in his shoulder and the
tumour spread to his lungs, making it stage four. The Oxford graduate was teaching English in
Siberia when he suffered shoulder pain and saw the school nurse. It was her reaction to a lump on his
back that sent him back home to Bristol. "I was 24 years old. I had done an ultra marathon," Luke
said. "48 hours later, I was back in hospital in the UK." On the 19 June 2018, doctors told Luke that
he had cancer.
"I had kind of worked out that it was cancer, but what kind of blew me away was the fact that it
was stage four cancer," says Luke. "That day, my life felt like it had disintegrated. My life had been
comfortable and conventional. I worked hard and got rewards in terms of education, jobs, things like
that. That was all taken away." On the day of his diagnosis, Luke had one clear thought in his mind
that he wanted to cycle around the world. It was something he had always hoped to do, but the
cancer news made him realize that he couldn't put it off.
"I realized that the future had to become now," Luke explains. He decided to cycle from Bristol
to Beijing-more than 5,000 miles-on a tandem bike, because he wants to bring people along to share
the experience with him. Luke will not only be joined by family and friends for certain legs of his trip, but also by other young people who arc living with cancer. "This trip is something I'm going to
enjoy," says Luke. "It's going to be the richest and most fulfilling experience that I can have."
24. What made Luke realize the potential threat of the illness?
A. A lump on his back. B. The pain on his shoulder.
C. The school nurse's reaction. D. The Oxford graduate's warning.
25. The underlined word "disintegrated" in Paragraph 2 means .
A. disputed B. broken C. disappointed D. confused
26. Why did Luke decide to cycle around the world?
A. To enjoy the rest of his life peacefully. B. To seek the best doctor treating his cancer.
C. To conquer the cancer in his own way. D. To make his dream come true.
27. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Luke intended to change his future life by cycling.
B. Luke planned to challenge the cancer with young men.
C. Luke wanted to end his life during the cycling trip.
D. Luke expected to challenge the tough journey.

If you've been paying attention, you know that corvids (crows, rooks and ravens) are
remarkably intelligent birds. Now these feathered geniuses have been given a job: six rooks have
been trained to pick up rubbish in the Puy du Fou historical theme park in western France.
Whenever Boubou, Bamboo, Bill, Black, Bricole and Baco place a cigarette butt or other small
pieces of trash in a special container, it offers a treat-rewarding for their efforts. The idea came from
one of the park's falconers(养鹰人), Christophc Gaborit. As part of the falconry show, crows had
already been trained to pick up roses and bring them to a princess, so in the 2000s, Gaborit raised
and trained two rooks to do the same with rubbish.
The training system is similar to experimental programs for testing corvids' intelligence, in
which a vending machine distributes a food reward when a crow correctly performs a task. Earlier
this year, a type of vending machine was used to teach crows how to tear paper into a specific shape.
And 10 years ago, "hacker" Josh Klein built a similar vending machine to reward crows for getting
back lost money. So we know the concept works.
The rooks arc employed for the first time over the weekend, and they'll be working four days aweek under close watch-not for the birds, but to make sure the humans don't deliberately drop
rubbish to watch the birds clean it up. That's because the aim of the rook garbage collectors isn't only
to collect garbage-it's also to get park-goers to think before they litter. "OK, the birds are able to do
something that we arc much more able to do than them, so we should do this by ourselves," park
president Nicolas de Villiers told NPR. "It's a funny way to show the people that you cannot throw
papers everywhere."
28. Who is the trainer of the rooks to pick up garbage?
A. Nicolas de Villiers. B. Josh Klein. C. Christophe Gaborit. D. Puy du Fou
29. Why will the rooks work under close watch?
A. To make sure the rooks' safety. B. To prevent the rooks flying away.
C. To avoid being disturbed purposely by humans. D. To watch the rooks doing the right thing.
30. What does the employment of the rooks really intend to do?
A. To make money through the rooks. B. To pick up roses for a princess.
C. To give performances in the park. D. To get humans inspired.
31.What is the main idea of the text?
A. Rooks are employed to pick up rubbish in a France park.
B. Puy du Fou historical theme park offers the falconry show.
C. Waste pollution has become a world-wide problem.
D. People arc called on to focus on the protection of the birds.
D
Facial recognition technology is already widely used by governments and some advertising
companies. The technology uses machine learning tools to search for faces in an attempt to identify
people.
In a recent study, scientists announced they had developed machine learning tools to track the
faces of individual wild chimpanzees(黑猩猩). Dan Schofield said that the system was developed to
improve the quality of information collected about chimpanzees in the wild over a long period of
time.
"For species like chimpanzees, which have complex social lives and live for many years,
getting snapshots of their behavior from short-term field research can only tell us so much,"
Schofield said.The researchers wanted to get a more complete understanding of the lives of the chimpanzees
by studying them over several generations. But doing this would have required searching through
hundreds of hours of video recordings of chimpanzees in the wild.
The researchers recorded the activities of a group of chimpanzees that lived in the West African
nation of Guinea. A facial recognition computer model was trained using more than 10 million
images of the animals. The model was then used to search, recognize and track individual
chimpanzees. The system was able to identify individual chimpanzees correctly about 92 percent of
the time. It successfully identified the animals' sex 96 percent of the time.
The study included an experiment with humans to see how they could perform against the
machine learning system in making identifications. The human persons were able to
correctlyidentify individual chimpanzees about 42 percent of the time. The machine learning tool
was much faster at completing the experiment. Human experts took about 55 minutes, while the
computer took only seconds.
The researchers say they arc permitting other scientists to use the system for similar projects.
They hope the method will be used with other species to record animal behavior and monitor
different animal populations in the environment.
32. What can we infer from Schofield's words?
A. Researching chimpanzees needs more information.
B. Chimpanzees can live as long as humans.
C. Chimpanzees like to get snapshots too.
D. Short-term field research provides more information.
33. What does the underlined word "this" refer to?
A. Recording the chimpanzees in the wild.
B. Studying chimpanzees over several years
C. Understanding the lives of the chimpanzees completely.
D. Getting snapshots of chimpanzees' behavior.
34. What did the experiment with humans prove in the study?
A. Humans make more accurate identifications.
B. The machine learning system is more effective.
C. Humans can't identify the animals' sex correctly.D. Machine learning tools take a little more time in identification.
35. What is the best title for the text?
A. Facial recognition for animals is becoming popular
B. Facial recognition is helping animals live in the wild
C. Facial recognition plays a role in raising animals
D. Facial recognition is used to identify and follow animals

If you've found yourself thinking of a new job or new career, don't be upset. 36
Job opportunities in health care arc on the rise and expected to increase 34 percent through
2020. 37 A much larger population of the elderly means a huge increase in demand for
medical services and the people that provide them.
38 Our health care is getting more and more complicated. And, that means highly skilled
people arc needed to deliver the service. Put these two things together and you get higher salaries
and more employees arc demanded. We all know that doctors make the big bucks( 钱 ). But, talk
about paying your dues-doctors must endure over 10 years of schooling and work amazing hours
Fortunately, you don't need to become a doctor to settle into an exciting, secure, and
well-paying job. There arc many opportunities available, and one of the best ways to get into the
field is as a medical assistant. 39 The position can be part-time, full-time, or even just
evenings and weekends. Working conditions and benefits tend to be excellent, and you can manage
to have a life outside of work as well.
Many medical assistants choose to take additional classes to become nurses and health care
practitioners( 执 业 医 生 ). Some take on additional administrative training and become office
managers for larger practices. 40
A. Job is less for the old.
B. The second reason is related to technology.
C. This is due to two factors: Firstly, the American population is aging rapidly.
D. The field of medical assistants offers many options for flexibility and job growth.
E. Your first job as a medical assistant is a more rewarding career in the health care industry.F. Intelligent technology brings many employment opportunities to human beings nowadays.
G. There is one field that's predicted to grow steadily in the future: Health Care Professionals.

My three-year-old son, Nathan, was digging the sand to build a castle. Although I warned him
it'd be 41 , he insisted on building it in the 42 of every single wave that would 43
on the shore.

46 .

labor ruined.

51 . I prepared dinners, which ten minutes after I placed them on the table were 52
consumed. I mopped floors only to see someone 53 them on their first trip in from the back

Just like the sand castles Nathan built, all my 55 were washed away by a giant wave

Because of this, I often struggled feeling 56 . I wondered if the things I did 57 .

59 , something that will last forever.
I'm 60 a family.

Nowadays, before we upload a photo of ourselves to social media, chances arc that we'll use
61 app to smooth our skin, make our eyes 62 (big), eyelashes longer and lips fuller.
With a couple of taps on our mobile phones, we're able to get a quick fix and present our own
best version to the world. However, the problem is, when we 63 (simple) edit our
imperfections away, we're also changing the way we look at 64 (we).
Last month, 65 (research) from the Boston University 66 (publish) an article which
analyzed photo 67 (edit) apps' bad impacts on people's self-esteem and their potential to cause
appearance anxieties. They warned that such apps arc blurring(难区分)the lines 68 reality and
fantasy. These apps allow one to change his or her appearance in minutes and follow a(n) 69
(realistic) standard of beauty.Now we've got this daily comparison of the real self with this intentional or unintentional self
that we present on social media. This is 70 many young people suffer an identity crisis when it
comes to how they look.
