Dr. Ellen Bronson of the Maryland Zoo in Baltimore always wanted to work with animals. Unlike many animal-loving little girls, though, her first idea was to be a naturalist. If a naturalist is someone who sits in the woods and observes animals and takes notes, then that’s exactly what she was doing at the time. Dr. Bronson grew up “in the middle of nowhere”, and her parents didn’t let her watch TV. “So I spent a lot
of time hanging out in the woods because there was not a lot to do otherwise,” she says. “I had a funny notebook that my parents still have, where each page is about a certain animal.”
When she got a little older, being an animal doctor seemed like a better choice than working with animals in the forest, and the success in giving medical help to them satisfied her hugely, but she says that even the cases that don’t work out as well can be meaningful. “You also have the failures, which are hard at the time, but they help not just you but the wh ole zoo learn,” She says.
And, of course, another advantage of the job is getting to work with really cool animals. “I really like the animals that feed on meat —they’re very tough, and you can get them through hard times,” she says.
Finally, anot her advantage of her job is how often she gets to work with an animal over its life. “We’re there doing medical examination when they’re born, we watch them grow up,” she says. “And we watch them as they age. We help them age peacefully and help them be pain-free, and then we’re also there when they die. That is something very special.”
25. What can we learn from the second paragraph?
A. Giving animals medical help is always Ellen’s dream.
B. Even failures can also mean something to Ellen.
C. Failures in work are hard for Ellen to accept.
D. Observing animals gives Ellen greater satisfaction.
26. In her work with animals, she can .
A. earn fame and respect from her work.
B. realize her dream of becoming a naturalist.
C. take care of many animals from birth to death.
D. keep all the animals in peace and free from pain.
27. Which of the following best describes Dr. Bronson?
A. Generous.
B. Well-educated.
C. Grateful.
D. Caring.
C
It was reported last week that developers could take photos from Apple mobile and Google
Android devices without the phone owners knowing that the images were being taken. In Apple's
case, developers can also obtain the location information for each photo.
Senator(参议员) Charles Schumer said in a telephone interview that his office had spoken with officials at both Apple and Google on Monday.
“We asked them if they could find a way on their own to prevent Apple from having access t o private information,” Mr. Schumer said.“They were friendly and open to the idea that this ought to be changed.” On Sunday, Mr. Schumer said that he planned to send a letter to the Federal Trade Commission (联邦贸易委员会) asking the agency to investigate Apple and Google after the privacy concerns came to light. Claudia Bourne Farrell, an F.T.C. spokeswoman, said the agency had received the letter but she could not comment further.
“It sends shivers up the spine to think that one's personal photos, address b ook, and who knows what else can be obtained and even posted online without permission,” Mr. Schumer wrote in his letter to the F.T. C. “If the technology exists to open the door to this kind of privacy invasion, then surely technology exists to close it, and that's exactly what must happen.”
Mr. Schumer said if Apple and Google could not come to an agreement to fix the problem, then he would be forced to take the issue further. He said other companies had been willing to work with his office to fix issu es. “I'm optimistic that we can get this changed without any regulation,” he said. “If it's not changed, then we'll look the F.T.C, and if that doesn't work then we'll look at legislative (立法) approach.”
The F.T.C. has warned companies to try to be more vigilant(警醒的) in their efforts to protect consumers when it comes to privacy.
28. The senators spoke with officials at both Apple and Google _______ .
A. to discuss whether it is illegal to have access to private information.
B. to stop them from developing the technology of taking photos.
C. to urge them not to invade consumers' privacy.
D. to keep them from obtaining the location information for each photo.
29. Which of the following statements is true?
A. Privacy invasion from Apple has existed for a long time.
B. Privacy invasion from Google has existed for a long time.
C. Apple and Google have decided to make a change.
D. Mr. Schumer takes the privacy concerns caused by Apple and Google seriously.
30. Mr. Schumer's letter to the F.T.C. mainly shows that the technology to open the door to privacy
invasion _________ .
A. causes people to worry about the safety of their personal information .
B. can be used if permitted.
C. causes personal information to be posted online without permission.

B. The companies will be closed.
C. The senators will turn to legislation.
D. The senators will force the companies not to invade privacy.
D
Artificial intelligence can identify skin cancer in photographs with the same accuracy as trained doctors, say scientists. The Stanford University team said the findings were “incredibly exciting” an d would now be tested in clinics. Eventually, they believe using AI could revolutionize healthcare by turning anyone's smart-phone into a cancer scanner.
The AI was repurposed (改变用途）from software developed by Google that had learned to spot the difference between images of cats and dogs. It was shown 129,450 photographs and told what type of skin condition it was looking at in each one.
It then learned to spot the hallmarks of the most common type of skin cancer: carcinoma(恶性上皮肿瘤), and the most deadly: melanoma(黑色素瘤). Only one in 20 skin cancers are melanoma, yet the tumor （肿瘤） accounts for three-quarters of skin cancer deaths.
The experiment, detailed in the journal Nature, then tested the AI against 21 trained skin cancer doctors. One of the researchers, Dr Andre Esteva, told the BBC News website: “We find excitedly, in general, that we are on par with excellent skin cancer doctors.”
However, the computer software cannot make a full diagnosis (诊断), as this is normally confirmed with a tissue biopsy(活检). Dr Esteva said the system now needed to be tested alongside doctors in the clinic. “The application of AI to health care is, we believe, an incredibly exciting area of research that can be leveraged to achieve a great deal of societal good,” he said. “One part icular route that we find exciting is the use of this algorithm on a mobile device, but to achieve this we would have to build an app and test its accuracy directly from a mobile device.” Incredible advances in machine-learning have already led to AI
beating one of humanity's best Go players. And a team of doctors in London have trained AI to predict when the heart will fail.
32. From the passage we can infer that _________ .
A. Artificial Intelligence must replace human one day
B. We can use Artificial Intelligence to cure skin cancers
C. We can use smart-phone to scan our skin at present
D. The research will be of great help to us and our health care
33. Which one will he agree with according to Dr Esteva?
A. Artificial Intelligence has beaten all of humanity’s best Go players.
B. Artificial Intelligence could support assessments by GPS.
C. We still need professional doctors with the help of the system.
D. There are too many disadvantages for Artificial Intelligence.
34. The underlined words “on par with” in Para 4 likely mean .
A. sensitive to
B. equaled by
C. allergic to
D. opposite to
35. What’s probably the best title of this passage?
A. Cancer Doctors Are Out
B. An APP Scanning Skin Cancers
C. Artificial Intelligence—change our future
D. Artificial Intelligence—as good as cancer doctors

Why does gratitude matter?
Gratitude doesn’t just feel good.36 Like other positive emotions, feeling grateful on a regular basis can have a big effect on our lives. Brain Research shows that positive emotions are good for our bodies, minds, and brains.
Positive emotions help us see more possibilities and take in more information. They increase our ability to develop skills. 37
Positive emotions balance negative emotions out. People who often feel grateful and appreciative are happier, less stressed, and less depressed. Gratitude is like a U-turn on complaining or thinking about what
we don’t have. 38 When we feel grateful, we might also feel happy, calm, joyful, or glad.
Gratitude can lead to positive actions. When we feel grateful for someone’s kindness towards us, we may be more likely to do a kindness in return. 39 Thanking people can make it more likely that they’ll do a kindness again.
40 When we feel and express heartfelt gratitude and appreciation to people in our lives, it creates loving bonds, builds trust, and helps you feel closer.
When we make it a habit to feel grateful and appreciative, it increases our awareness of good things as they happen. That set of attitude of gratitude has positive effects on our mood.
A. It might make you suffer a lot.
B. One positive emotion often leads to another.
C. Gratitude helps us build better relationships.
D. Making a habit of gratitude can also be good for us.
E. In addition, they help us to learn and make good decisions.
F. Find out who you appreciate and what the reasons might be.
G. Your gratitude also can have a positive effect on someone else’s actions.

With Chinese economy has developed fast, the life standard has improved rapid. A lot of people have money to travel abroad. Recently, I saw a video, which was about what the foreigners judged Chinese tourists. The video reported the crazy situation where Chinese tourists created. In the foreigners eyes, Chinese tourists are rich. But at the same time, they were annoying by the acts of Chinese tourists. Some of them would like write some words in the tourist sites and some people would spit anytime and anywhere.

Dear Daniel,
I’m very sorry to hear that a conflict occurred be tween you and your mother because of your Internet addiction.
In my opinion, you should apologize to your mother, as she has done nothing wrong to prevent you from Internet addiction. Although the Internet plays an important role in modern life, we can’t ignore its harm to us. Many students spend most of their time playing computer games or chatting aimlessly with others, which may not only result in poor health and decline in study but also loss of communication in the real world.
As students, we should devote our energy to study. When available, you may as well walk outside with your friends or take some exercise to keep fit instead of playing online games. Only in this way can you live and study happily and healthily.
Yours,
Li Hua。
