A system or program doesn’t always make reference to something high-tech．It’s more about the actual administration process flow that gets issues running smoothly．Systemizing your business is vitally important for the success of the company．About 80％of what’s completed in your business can be systemized．Take a moment to determine all of the routine things that are done in your company．Now record the best way to achieve these duties．However，creating systems isn’t enough．You have to ensure that the methods are simple to follow，and easy to complete．If you do not allow it to be easy，it won’t be done，or at best it won’t be consistent．With systems and processes in position．it’s simply using a few people to operate individual systems．A great number of companies that possess established systems have made great achievements through the years．Burger King is a good actual life example．To construct a great business，replace yourself with a good program right now!28．What does“an embarrassed position”in Paragraph 1refer to?A．The employees are made to do all the work．B．Business owners get caught in the trap of doing everything．C．Nobody would like to work for business owners．D．There are not enough employees in the company．29．What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 imply?A．It’s necessary for the company owner to do all the work．B．A robot or machine shall not keep working．C．The company owner should learn to rest．D．A system is important for the company．30．Which of the following is true about“A system”?A．It can deal with a11 the routines in the business．B．It is simple to follow or complete a system．C．Your company will be successful so long as you have a system.D．It will help a company run smoothly．31．What is the best advice to the business owners?A．Doing all the work by themselves．B．Buying advanced robots or machines．C．Using a good system to operate a company．D．Introducing higher technologies．Robots make me nervous-especially the ones which seem to think for themselves．I was embarrassed to admit this till I heard that Bill Gates，the founder of Microsoft，felt the same way．Gates said in an interview with the website Reddit：“I am in the camp that is concerned about super intelligence．First the machines will do a lot of jobs for us and not be super intelligent．That should be positive if we manage well．A few decades after that though the intelligence is strong enough to be a concern．”Well，maybe I don’t have to worry about my laptop and kitchen appliances yet．After I use them I can always pull the plug．But in the future，machines might find a way to prevent us from switching them off．There’s a scary thought!Professor Stephen Hawking warned a few months ago about the possibility that artificial intelligence could evolve and end up beyond human contro1．He suggested that machines could “spell the end of the human race”．Maybe the problem with computers too clever for us is not that they are evil or rebellious．What could put us in danger is that they might be too efficient．That’s what philosopher Nick Bostrom from the Future of Humanity Institute at Oxford University believes．He says that machines are indifferent to humans and in pursuit of their own goals，the destruction of people might be just collateral(附带的)damage．A machine would not take pity on you．I’m glad my machines at home are“dumb”．All my vacuum cleaner wants to take over is the carpet in my living room．Let’s hope they don’t create an appliance which wants to take over the world!32．We can conclude from Gates’ statements that ___________．A．he is embarrassed that he is afraid of robotsB．he doesn’t think machines are intelligentC．machines should be fully employedD．machines’ super intelligence should be a concern33．The underlined word“spell”in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to _____________．A．record B．cause C．explain D．develop34．Why are computers dangerous according to Nick Bostrom?A．They are too evil and rebellious．B．They are indifferent to humans．C．They show pity on humans．D．They are too clever and efficient．35．What can be inferred about the author?A．He doesn’t agree with Bill Gates．B．He is not content with the present kitchen appliances．C．He is scared about the super intelligence of machines．D．He expects that machines will take place of humans．七选五No matter what problem we’re facing，we always find solutions．36 If you need a boost of happiness to help you through the day，be sure to remember these things：1．Accept it．Although it may seem challenging to accept a negative situation，it's your best bet in moving toward a resolution．37 What you can do is only focus on how to improve the circumstances now．2．Don’t waste time considering it．Working on a problem a long time can only make it bigger than it already is．Not only will you feel worse in the long run，but also，you’11 lose valuable time when you could be working toward a solution．383．Don’t compare yourself to others．When you’re struggling through a tough situation，comparing yourself is the last thing you should be doing．39 Therefore，instead of comparing，you should look at the happiness within yourself．4．Make a plan of action．40 If you don’t like the way something is，do what you can in your power to change it．In financial situations，you can work on a budget and prioritize your costs．In a fight with a loved one，you can take some time to cool down and improve things by talking it out．A．You can’t change what already happened．B．Keep an optimistic mind towards what you can’t get．C．Don’t let a bad situation get the best of you —take steps to let it go．D．You have no idea what struggles another person could be going through．E．It’s impossible to succeed if you’re in low spirits．F．It may be hard to look on the bright side，but everything passes in time．G．The best way to overcome a negative time is to find a way out of it．完形填空There is an old saying that states，“You are what you eat.”41 this might be true，I thinka better and more true statement would be，“You are what you 42 ．”Words have power that is43 by few things in this world．A few simple 44 strung together can lift someone up or knock them 45 ．If we choose to go around saying 46 things，I think we will lead more positive lives．47 ，if we go around saying negative things to people，48 can we ever expect to lead a more positive life? Negative words and thoughts 49 a negative life．There is one 50 that I hear all the time and I think is the most dangerous of all—“I can’t even imagine…”．By saying those 51 words，you are 52 any chance of success．You are also 53 yourself in a mindset(心态)that you will never achieve it．But maybe，if we can make a slight 54 in our mindset and 55 the words we speak，we can turn some of that negativity in our lives into positivity.Many professional athletes use this kind of positive 56 to achieve their goals．An athlete will often 57 themselves lifting the championship trophy(奖杯)long before the time actually comes．You would 58 be able to find a champion athlete who says the words，“I can’t even imagine…”．Don’t ever say that you can’t 59 something．With a little work，you can imagine it and with a little more work，you might just make it into a 60 ！41．A．While B．As C．Because D．Unless42．A．do B．say C．expect D．explain43．A．decided B．wasted C．matched D．handled44．A．ways B．tests C．ideas D．words45．A．up B．down C．off D．back46．A．terrible B．surprising C．discouraging D．positive47．A．In fact B．What’s more C．In turn D．On the other hand 48．A．how B．why C．what D．when49．A．1ive B．develop C．save D．refuse50．A．saying B．article C．story D．note51．A．boring B．harsh C．simple D．extra52．A．seizing B．finding C．missing D．increasing 53．A．relaxing B．putting C．enjoying D．cheating 54．A．mistake B．suggestion C．change D．decision55．A．watch B．forget C．ignore D．praise56．A．role B．thinking C．character D．advice57．A．picture B．hear C．keep D．notice58．A．often B．even C．never D．still59．A．doubt B．tolerate C．deny D．imagine60．A．dream B．reality C．goal D．promise语法填空It was a burning-hot，Summer’s day and I was longing to go swimming at the local pool．Instead，I was riding in 61 back seat of the car as my parents drove to a friend’s house．They were going to lend a hand to a church work camp 62 (repair)her roof and porch．The work camp was 63 (main)made up of teenagers 64 had given up part of their Summer vacation to help others．65 an eight-year-old boy，I 66 (spend)most of that afternoon sitting in the shade while they sweated in the sunshine．They were cutting boards and hammering them in place．They were pulling out rotted tiles(瓦片)and nailing in new 67 (one)．They were doing it all with an energy of joy．Finally our friend called me into the house 68 (help)her pay them with the two things she could afford：sweet tea and smiles．By the end of the day the three gallons of tea were gone．The workers were out of nails and paint，but the job was 69 (do)．There was one thing left，however．It was the one thing that you never run out of．It was Love．I went home with a heart full of it and was 70 (happy)than any day at the pool could have made me．1____________ 2_____________ 3_____________ 4_____________ 5____________6____________ 7_____________ 8_____________ 9_____________ 10___________改错Dear Bob，I studied in your school for six month a couple of years ago．I’m very grateful to your help during my study in the U．S．Without your help，my English couldn’t have improved so rapid and I couldn’t have been enjoyed my life there so much．Do you know why everything is going with Mr. Smith?
