“Now what?” asked Mr. Rojas. “Let’s play cards!” answered Mrs. Rojas. At 8:30 Mr. and Mrs. Rojas started to play cards. They were playing for about 10 minutes when Mr. Rojas looked out the window. The rain changed to snow and the trees were covered in beautiful whit e snow. “I’m happy we stayed home tonight. It looks beautiful outside but this weather is very dangerous to drive in.” said Mr. Rojas. “Y ou’re right,” said Mrs. Rojas, “but I’m bored. Let’s play some music and dance.”
Mr. Rojas was surprised. “Dance? But I really don’t ….”
“Oh come on!” Mrs. Rojas insisted. She put on a romantic CD and they both started to dance. They were dancing for about 1 minute when suddenly the music stopped and the lights went out. Mrs. Rojas laughed. “We’re just not very lucky toni ght, are we?” she said. Mr. Rojas said, “Of course we’re lucky!

23．（8分）With golden sunshine and a gentle breeze, autumn is the most beautiful season in the year. This is a great time to go outside and have fun. Go to a valley to see red maple trees, go and pick fruit in an orchard or find an open field to fly your kite in.
However, for many high school students, these great activities may be just a dream. With plenty of work to do, they spend all their hours indoors, struggling for a high mark in their exams. Of course, study is one of the most important things for teenagers. But life is definitely much more than that.
Sometimes we spend so much time studying that we forget how to make life wonderful. In doing so, we lose the real purpose of life — to be a valuable and happy person. To enjoy just how great it is to be alive, we have to put down our books and pens and look around us. Students, take some exercise to improve your health, talk with your parents and friends for understanding and walk around outside to refresh your body and mind.
Going out and enjoying the beautiful countryside often helps our creativity in our work. Chinese craftsman, Lu Ban, created a saw t o help woodworkers. But if he hadn’t walked outside, he would not have been inspired by a kind of toothed grass. We could also suppose if Newton hadn’t rested under that apple tree, then he wouldn’t have been hit by an apple, and his classic theories would not have come out.
Going out is not only a break from hard work, but a chance to add to life experience. So come on, give your brain a good rest. Step out of the books and get your bag ready for an autumn outing. We are sure you will get much more than knowledge from the exciting journey.
1、In which paragraph does the writer make a summary about his opinion?
A．Paragraph 1. B．Paragraph 2.
C．Paragraph 5. D．Paragraph 4.
2、Why is going out a dream for many high school students?

4、What message can you get from the passage?

B．All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.
C．The author isn’t happy w ith our education at all.
D．Going out can make high school students get more.
24．（8分）Roughly the size of a soda can, sitting on a bookshelf, a relatively harmless device(设备) may be turning friends away from your home. The elephant in your living room is your Internet-connected camera, a device people are increasingly using for peace of mind in their homes. But few stop to think about the effect these devices may have on house guests. Should you tell your friends, for instance, that they’re being recorde d while you all watch the big game together?
"It’s certainly new territory, especially as home security cameras become easier to fix," says Lizzie Post, president of the Emily Post Institute, America’s distinguished manners advisors. " I think it will be v ery interesting to see what manners appear in terms of whether you tell people you have a camera or not, and whether guests have a right to ask that it be turned off, if it’s not a security issue. "Post wants to make clear that she’s not talking about lega l rights, but rather personal preference.
When it comes to security cameras, Post says it’s a host’s responsibility to make sure guests feel comfortable within their home. If the host casually acknowledges that there is a camera in the room by telling a story about it, that may be enough to provide an opening for a guest to say if they are uncomfortable.
However, if a contractor(合约工)is working in your home, you don’t need to tell them that there are cameras
watching. Then again, the camera can also work in contractors’ favor. "If anything does go wrong while they’re in the house, they don’t want to be blamed for it," she says. "In fact, the camera could be the thing that proves that they didn’t steal the $20, or knock the vase off the table.
1、The visitors are concerned that the security camera may .
A．threaten their health B．spoil their peace of mind
C．disturb their privacy D．affect their preference
2、What is a host’s responsibility concerning the security camera?
A．Indicating its position. B．Making their guests feel at ease
C．Turning it oil in time. D．Having a casual talk with guests.
3、How can the home security camera benefit contractors working in your home?
A．It can prevent the accidents happening. B．It can prove their innocence.
C．It can record their working progress. D．It can make their work more enjoyable.
4、What’s the author’s attitude towards the security camera?
A．Negative. B．Pessimistic. C．Favorable. D．Objective
25．（10分）Some of the world’ s biggest companies—Apple, Amazon, Facebook—didn’ t exi st 30 years ago. So what firms are we working for in 2050? That’ s a question put forward by historian Yuval Noah Harari in his new book “21 Lessons for the 21st Century”.
He argues that because technology is changing so fast, it’ s one of the first times in human history when we don’t know what jobs will look like in the coming three decades. “So the best bet is to focus on emotional intelligence （EQ）,” he said. “Information is the last thing the kids need. They have too much of it.”
In this book, he focu ses on the various challenges facing us today. As he writes in the book’ s introduction: “What are today’s greatest challenges? What should we pay attention to? What should we teach our kids?” One area where these questions crop up is artificial intelligence （AI）. Harari believes that AI will completely affect the job market for the next generation of workers.
His first two books—“Sapiens” and “Homo Deus”—became international bestsellers, selling more than 12 million copies worldwide. They were praised by t he likes of Mark Zuckerberg, Barack Obama and Bill Gates. Harari’ s books, about the past and future of humanity, attract a great number of fans. Fellow Israeli, actress Natalie Portman, is a fan. So is American R&B star Janelle Monae.
As for Bill Gates, h e might be Harari’ s biggest fan. So when the New York Times asked him to review Harari’ s latest books, he jumped at the opportunity. “All the three books wrestle with some version of the same question: What will give our lives meaning in the decades and centuries ahead?” Gates wrote in his review. “So far, human history has
been driven by a desire to live longer, healthier, happier lives. If science is eventually able to give that dream to most people, and large numbers of people no longer need to work, what reason will we have to get up in the morning?”
1、What is the best way to help students face the uncertain future according to Harari?
A．Teaching them advanced technology.
B．Providing them with more information.
C．Improving their emotional intelligence.
D．Reminding them of fierce competitions.
2、What does Harari stress in his new book?
A．The bright future of the future workers.
B．Different challenges in face of people.
C．Lessons humans should learn from history.
D．The disadvantages of artificial intelligence.
3、What can we learn about Harari?
A．He is Bill Gates’ good friend.B．He has a deep understanding of AI.
C．He is highly thought of by everyone. D．His books are well received in the world.
4、What is talked about in all of Harari’ s three books?
A．The desire to enjoy life. B．The limitless opportunities in the future.
C．The driving force of human history. D．The source of life meaning in the future.
