B What makes a gift special？Is it the price you see on the gift receipt？Or is it the look on the recipient’s face when they receive it that determines the true value？What gift is worth the most? This Christmas I was debating what to give my father.My dad is a hard person to buy for because he never wants anything.I pulled out my phone to read a text message from my mom saying that we were leaving for Christmas shopping for him when I came across a message on my phone that I had locked.The message was from my father.My eyes fell on a photo of a flower taken in Wyoming，and underneath a poem by William Blake.The flower，a lone dandelion standing against the bright blue sky， inspired me.My dad had been reciting those words to me since I was a kid.That may even be the reason why I love writing.I decided that those words would be my gift to my father. I called back.I told my mom to go without me and that I had already created my gift.I sent the photo of the cream­colored flower to my computer and typed the poem on top of it.As I was arranging the details another poem came to mind.The poem was written by Edgar Allan Poe.My dad recited it as much as he did the other.I typed that out as well and searched online for a background to the words of it.The poem was focused around dreaming，and after searching I found the perfect picture.The image was painted with blues and greens and purples，twisting together to create the theme and wonder of a dream.As I watched both poems passing through the printer，the white paper coloring with words that shaped my childhood，I felt that this was a gift that my father would truly appreciate. Christmas soon arrived.The minute I saw the look on my dad’s face as he unwrapped those swirling black letters carefully placed in a cheap frame，I knew I had given the perfect gift. 25．The author’s inspiration for the gift came from .A．a photo of a flower B．a story about a kid C．a call from the mother D．a text about Christmas 26．The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refers to a poem by . A．the father B．the author C．Edgar Allan Poe D．William Blake 27．The author made the gift by . A．searching for the poems online B．drawing the background by hand C．painting the letters in three colors D．matching the words with pictures 28．What is the main purpose of the passage? A．To show how to design images for gifts. B．To suggest making gifts from one’s heart. C．To explain how computers help create gifts. D．To describe the gifts the author has received. C From self­driving cars to carebots(care ＋ robots) for elderly people ， rapid development in technology has long represented a possible threat to many jobs normally performed by people.But experts now believe that almost 50 percent of occupations（职业） existing today will be completely unnecessary by 2025 as artificial intelligence continues to change businesses. “The next fifteen years will see a revolution（革命） in how we work，and a revolution will necessarily take place in how we plan and think about workplaces，” said Peter Andrew，Director of Workplace Strategy for CBRE Asia Pacific. A growing number of jobs in the future will require creative intelligence，social skills and the ability to use artificial intelligence. The report is based on interviews with 200 experts，business leaders and young people from Asia Pacific，Europe and North America.It shows that in the US technology already destroys more jobs than it creates. But the report states：“Losing occupations does not necessarily mean losing jobs—just changing what people do.” Growth in new jobs could occur as much，according to the research. “The growth of 20 to 40 person companies that have the speed and technological know­how will directly challenge big companies，” it states. A 2014 report by Pew Research found 52 percent of experts in artificial intelligence and robotics were optimistic about the future and believed there would still be enough jobs in the next few years.The optimists pictured “a future in which robots do not take the place of more jobs than they create.” according to Aaron Smith，the report’s co­author. “Technology will continue to affect jobs，but more jobs seem likely to be created.Although there have always been unemployed people，when we reached a few billion people there were billions of jobs.There is no shortage of things that need to be done and that will not change，” Microsoft’s Jonathan Grudin told researchers. 29．According to the report， . A．people won’t necessarily lose jobs B．big companies will face fewer challenges C．small companies will win against big companies D．most people will become interested in technology 30．We can infer from the text that in the future . A．people will face many difficulties B．people will take up more creative jobs C．artificial intelligence will threaten people’s lives D．most jobs will be done in traditional workplaces 31．What is the attitude of most experts in artificial intelligence and robotics to the future? A．Mixed. B．Worried. C．Hopeful. D．Doubtful. 32．Jonathan Grudin’s words in the last paragraph suggest that . A．there will be enough jobs for people B．things will change a lot in a few years C．many people will become unemployed D．technology will totally change future jobs D Sports are the base of my life，next to my mother who raised me when my dad left us.I have been into sports since I was six years old.I have known many coaches and heard hundreds of their tips，but they usually focused on drills to develop my skills and reach the next level of play. When I was in Senior Two，I met the new school basketball coach，Brian Pawloski.I thought I was certain to be selected for the school team since I had been in it the year before.I showed up to the tryouts and put out about 90% effort since I thought I’d make it with no problem.That was a big mistake. Brian Pawloski is the hardest­working coach I have ever met.He didn’t expect 100% effort，he expected 200% effort.One example ： he once made us do 40 suicide drills （ 训 练 ） for the 40 lay­ups( 投 篮 ) we missed in a game.Some think this is crazy ， but it isn’t.After this conditioning practice，as we were getting a cup of cold water to drink，I said，“Coach，that was the best practice I ever had.” I was completely sincere.This man was and is the person who influenced me most at my high school.He expects us to be excellent not just on the court but in the classroom.If I am not working on basketball，I am reading a book that he thinks will help us better understand life’s challenges， including Wooden：A Coach’s Life，and The Screwtape Letters. In the first two years I slacked off，not putting forth my full potential（潜力）.Now，unlike the coaches of my youth，this man was interested in how he did off the court.He always made sure I kept up with my studies and was able to be trusted.I can honestly say that no other coach has given me so much advice on how to succeed in basketball，but more importantly，in life.My school is lucky to have such a great person to teach，coach and influence their students.I will always remember my high­school basketball days as one of the hardest times I have ever worked in my life not only in basketball but in my growth as an individual. 33．Different from other coaches，Coach Brian . A．concentrated on skill training B．asked the team to do more reading than training C．trained the team to the edge of death D．expected the team to do well in their studies 34．The underlined phrase “slacked off” in the last paragraph probably means “ ”． A．paid no attention B．showed no interest C．made less effort D．had less passion 35．In the author’s eye，Coach Brian is . A．professional and serious B．strict and helpful C．skilled and cruel D．hardworking and honest 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。选项中有两项为 多 余选项。（注意：选 E 同时涂黑 AB 两项，F 涂 AC，G 涂 AD） How to keep yourself safe from new virus?
