21．（6分）It was a cold winter. The wind blew all night and the snow was blinding. When morning came, my three children and I got up and made our way to the windows. As we looked out the window, we saw that the henhouse was gone. Our three hens had been blown away.
I looked at the emptiness outside. Then I saw all three chickens sat around the edge of a white bucket. How was this
violent wind not blowing them into the field beyond? I quickly pulled on long snow pants and heavy winter coat, wrapped a scarf and stuck my feet into very large boots .
I shouted at the wind as it blew. I was alone, save for my children. They stared out the window into the vast white sea of snow, their eyes peeled for any sign of movement. Outside I heard the sound of my boots as I walked against the wind.
The snow circling around me, I steadily made my way to the soft cluck-cluck-cluck sound my hens always made. When I reached them, I saw that their little feet were holding on to the edge of the bucket, heads bent forward and away from the wind. I gently lifted each hen and put it carefully into the warm inside. Then I began the freezing walk back to the small shed directly behind our house. One by one I laid my chickens on the cold floor, and they began to cluck softly.
As I shut the shed doors, my eyes went directly to the window where my children were watching. They jumped up and down cheering, and so did I! I wasn’t some dragon slayer (屠龙者) from a fairy tale. I was simply a mom, but the look on my children’s faces told me that they thought I was a hero mom.
1、Seeing all three chickens sitting around the bucket ,the author felt ______.
A．incredible B．worried
C．shy D．confident
2、How does the author reach the hens ?
A．By searching for the white bucket. B．By wearing protective clothes.
C．By following the sound of the hens. D．By shouting at the henhouse.
3、From the story, we know that _________.
A．the author’s children liked drag on slayers
B．the children watched their mother all the way
C．the author struggled to be a hero
D．the author enjoyed herself in the snow
4、What might be the best title for the text?
A．Weather in extreme. B．Hens in trouble.
C．Kindness in need. D．Hero in the snow.
22．（8分）Every day, we are inching closer to some kind of artificial intelligence. Advances in big data, machine learning and robotics are going to give us a world where computers are effectively intelligent in terms of how we deal with them. Sho uld you be scared by this? Absolutely, but not in the usual “robot overlords” (机器人帝国) kind of way. Instead, the real fear should be about getting human beings wrong, not getting AI right.
The key to the technology is the ability of computers to recognize h uman emotions based on the ‘‘activation” of
muscles in the face. A computer can identify the positions of facial muscles and use them to infer the emotional state of
its user. Then the machine responds in ways that take that emotional state into account.
O ne potential application of it is to provide “emotional robots” for the elderly. Having a machine that could speak
in a kind way would comfort a lonely older person. That is a good thing, right? But that won’t also relieve us from questioning how we ended up in a society that takes care of the elderly because we don’t know what else to do with them? Can’t we have more humane solutions than robots?
“Emotion data” aren’t the same thing as the real and vivid emotional experiences we human beings have. Our emotions are more than our faces or voices. How can they be pulled out like a thread, one by one, from the fabric of our being?
Research programs can come with much philosophical concern, too. From the computers’ point of view, what the computing technology captures are emotions, but at its root is a reduction of human experience whose outward expressions can be captured algorithmically (计算上). As the technology is used in the world, it can reframe the world in ways that can be hard to escape from.
The technology will clearly have useful applications, but once it treats emotions as data, we may find that it is the only aspect of emotion we come to recognize or value. Once billions of dollars floods into this field, we will find ourselves trapped in a technology t hat is reducing our lives. Even worse, our “emotion data” will be used against us to make money for someone else. And that is what scares me about AI.
1、Why does the author feel scared of the development of artificial intelligence?
A．The technology is developing much too slowly.
B．Computers can’t recognize human emotions.
C．Robots would get control of human beings.
D．People may use artificial intelligence improperly.
2、Why does the author dislike the idea of providing “emotional robots” for the elderly?
A．The aged people will find it hard to live with them.
B．What elderly people need is much more than that.
C．It can’t relieve us of the pressure from modern society.
D．It’s impossible to use them to keep the elderly healthy.
3、What does the author intend to conclude in Paragraphs 4 and 5?
A．Emotional data can’t be equal to human emotions.
B．AI technology itself has fewer and fewer faults.
C．AI-built-in robots won’t have the ability to understand human beings.
D．The information computers get can reframe human emotions.
4、How does the author think about ‘‘emotion data” according to the last paragraph?
A．It can arouse people’s sense of value.
B．It can improve people’s human experience.
C．It may be misused as a tool to make profits.
D．It may push the AI technology forward.
23．（8分）Exercise could not only benefit your body, but also imp rove your memory, researchers found recently. In their paper published on Monday, researchers from the University of California ,Irvine in the United States and the University of Tsukuba in Japan introduced their experiment and conclusion.
Scientists invited 36 volunteers who were in their early 20s to do 10 minutes of light exercise before taking a memory test in which they were shown pictures like broccoli(西兰花)or picnic baskets and asked to recall them later. The same experiment was repeated with the same group of volunteers without exercising. "The memory task was really quite challenging ,said Michael Y assa, co-author of the study and a neuroscientist (神经科学家)at the University of California, Irvine. "We used very tricky similar items to see if they would remember whether it was this exact picnic basket versus (对抗)that picnic basket. "
Researchers also scanned brains of some of the participants during the experiment. They found strengthened communication between regions involved in the storage and recollection of memories in brains of those who had exercised. This suggested that just 10 minutes of light exercise like walking, yoga or Tai Chi might increase memory power.
As all the volunteers in the experiment were relatively young, researchers are still working to look at the effects of light exercise on older people. " Our future goal is to try to develop an exercise prescription (处方)that can be used by older adults who might have disabilities or mobility impairments, but can still adopt very simple exercise rules of life and be able to, perhaps, delay cognitive decline temporarily," said Yassa.
1、What did the researchers find from the experiment mentioned in the text?
A．Regular exercise is of benefit to the memory of all people.
B．Just a short period of exercise better young people's memory power.
C．Older people can also imp rove their cognitive power by exercising regularly.
D．AU the volunteers in the experiment imp roved their memory through exercise.
2、Why was the memory task quite challenging?
A．The lime to solve the questions was too limited.
B．The questions asked by the scientists were loo comp Heated.
C．The items to be distinguished were extremely similar.
D．The people in the experiment were disabled.
3、What 's the purpose of the text?
A．To solve a problem.
B．To give practical advice.
C．To present a research result.
D．To tell an interesting sotry
4、What can be a suitable title for the text?
A．Advantages of Exercising Regularly
B．Exercise Is Beneficial to Both Y oung and Old
C．Exercise Can Imp rove Older People' s Cognitive Power
D．Ten Minutes of Exercise a Day Might Imp rove Memory
24．（8分）We humans love to stare into our smart devices.We gaze for hours—about 10 hours and 39 minutes a day—at our computers，smartphones，tablets and televisions.Is all this staring bad for us? It might be，mainly because as we stare at our devices we are exposing ourselves to blue light.
Blue light is a type of electromagnetic radiation with a very short wavelength that produces a high amount of energy.While it's true that light can damage our eyes under certain circumstances，there's no scientific evidence suggesting that blue light is harmful to our eyes.But many people still think it is，which is why blue light—blocking glasses are so popular.So do the glasses work?
“Everyone is very concerned that blue light may be causing damage to the eye，but there's no evidence that it may be causing serious damage，”Dr.Rahul Khurana，clinical spokesman for the American Academy of Ophthalmologists，told Business Insider.
Blue light exposure is nothing new.In fact，the sun is the largest source of blue light.Moreover，blue light is also present in LED light.But if blue light isn't harmful，then why are we constantly rubbing our eyes when we’re looking at our screens? The answer is eyestrain(眼疲劳):More than 60 percent of people experience eye problems associated with digital eyestrain.And blue light，it seems，isn't the cause.Instead，our eyes are so strained because most of us blink less when we stare at our digital devices.So if eyestrain is the real issue，blue light-blocking glasses are probably of little use.
1、What do we know about blue light?
A．It is a kind of nuclear radiation.
B．It has the shortest wavelength.
C．It may come from electronic devices.
D．It consumes a great deal of energy.
2、What causes the popularity of blue light-blocking glasses?
A．Evidence of their benefits to eyes.
B．Belief in blue light's harmful effect.
C．Widespread use of smart devices.
D．Scientific understanding of blue light.
3、What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?
A．Blue light exposure is hardly avoidable.
B．Eye problems are not easy to deal with.
C．Blue 1ight may connect with tired eyes.
D．Rubbing eyes makes people strained.
4、According to the text，wearing blue light-blocking glasses may be_______.
A．tiring B．harmful C．useless D．beneficial
25．（10分）Even if you don't have to work, eat or sleep, you won't be able to get through all information on blogs and social networks. The problem we face is that much of this information seems very interesting at first glance. Actually, much of the information is unimportant, disposable and it distracts us from more meaningful pursuits. Worse still, when we spend lots of time consuming information from our social media streams, we may find it hard to concentrate on what we’re doing and we have a tendency to forget what we have consumed anyway.
A new study from Sweden’s KTH Royal Institute of Technology has found that too much social media exposure actually reduces your ability to process information and depletes (耗尽) your short-term working memory.
Our working memory plays a critical role in our capacity to filter (过滤) information and remember what is valuable but it is not a limitless resource. Erik Fransen, a professor in Computer Science at KTH and the leader of this is new study on social media overload says this can explain why our capacity (容量) for processing information begins to fail when we attempt to put more information in the working memory.
In fact, when you try to process the information like speech or video, you are going to need partly the same system of working memory, so you are reducing your own working memory capacity. And when you try to store many things in your working memory, you get less good at processing information.
It is the periods of downtime of your brain—preferably disconnected from the distractions of your computer or smartphone—that are needed for memory consolidation (巩固) and transferring important information to your exposure to new information. Besides, you can empty your mind of thoughts quickly to relax completely, go for a short walk or spend a few minutes listening to music. This will help you improve your capacity to process information and
increase your productivity.
1、What can we learn about social media overload from Paragraph 1?
A．It distracts our attention. B．It is beneficial to us.
C．It brings us whatever we want. D．It keeps us informed of everything.
2、Why does your capacity for processing information begin to fall sometimes?
A．Much of the information is unimportant.
B．Y our working memory is a limited resource.
C．Y ou're less good at processing information.
D．Y ou don't make the most of your brain.
3、Which is recommended to relax your brain?
A．Thinking over things carefully. B．Listening to music for a while.
C．Taking enough physical exercise. D．Focusing more on the present.

First, you should be active in class discussions and show your own opinions about matters. Second, you should learn about what our classmates like or dislike. This way, you can get to know more different people and show them you are just friendly. Last but not least, I'm always here ready to help. We can take part in some activities together and I can introduce you to others.
As time goes by, we will know each other better and make good friends if you can do as the above.
Yours,
