13、A priest（牧师）had a cat that climbed up a tree in his backyard and then was afraid to come down. The priest persuaded(劝说), offered warm milk, etc. The kitty would not come down. The tree was not strong enough to climb, so the priest decided that if he tied a rope to his car and drove away so that the tree bent（弯曲）down, he could then reach up and get the kitty. He did so, checking his progress in the car again and again, then work out if he went just a little bit further, the tree would be bent enough for him to reach the kitty. But as he moved a little further forward, the rope broke.
The tree went “boing!” and the kitty at once sailed through the air —out of sight. The priest felt terrible. He walked all over the neighborhood asking people if they’d seen his kitty. Nobody had seen a lost kitty.
So, he prayed(祈祷), “God, I just give this kitty to your keeping,” and went on about his business.
Several days later he was at the grocery store, meeting one of his church（教堂）members. He happened to look into her shopping cart and was amazed to see cat food. Now this woman was a cat hater and everyone knew it, so he asked her, “Why are you buying cat food when you hate cats so much?”
She replied, “You won’t believe this,” and told him how her little girl had been begging her for a cat, but she kept
refusi ng. Then a few days before, the child begged again, so the Mom finally told her little girl, “Well, if God gives you a cat, you can keep it. ” She told the priest, “I watched my child go out in the yard, get on her knees, and ask God for a cat. You won’t b elieve this, but I saw it with my own eyes. A cat suddenly came flying out of the blue sky, with its paws spread out, and landed right in front of her. ”
1．The priest drove his car to bend the tree in order to __________.
A．get his kitty down from the tree B．persuade his kitty to come down
C．offer the kitty some warm milk D．see if the rope was strong enough
2．The underlined sentence probably means that the priest __________.
A．was happy he didn’t have to care for the kitty
B．hoped his neighbors would look after his cat
C．thought his kitty might be lost or killed
D．didn’t want to see his kitty any more
3．Why was the priest amazed when he saw the woman had bought much cat food?
A．Because he couldn’t imagine she had her own cat.
B．Because the woman was his church member.
C．Because he thought she would live on cat food.
D．Because he knew clearly she didn’t like a cat.
4．Who gave the girl a cat?
A．God B．His church member C．The priest D．His neighbour
5．Which may be the best title of this passage?
A．A flying cat B．A lucky girl
C．God sent her a cat D．An unlucky priest

14、Would you like to live in a city where buildings turn the lights off for you, and self-driving cars will find the nearest parking space themselves? Although it might sound a lttle far from you, living in a "smart" city like this could happen sooner than you think.
Great changes have taken place in towns that we have lived in for centuries, while completely new cities are being built. One such place is the city of Songdo. Every home there will have a "telepresence system(远程遥控系统)-- allowing users to control the heating and locks, take part in video meetings, and receive education, health care and government services. Around the city, escalators ( 自动扶梯) will only move when someone is on them, and offices and schools will all be connected to the system.
The great mind behind Songdo is from the company Cisco. In fact, technology companies around the world such as IBM, Siemens and Microsoft are already in the business.
About 75% of the world's population will live in cities by 2050, so cities will need to be more modern to deal with the coming problems. Making cities smarter is one way out, and I think this will in turn make cities greener, said Dan Hill, head of a research company.
1．According to the text, living in a "smart" city ______
A．is not a green way B．will be far from you
C．will soon become true D．is completely impossible
2．What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?
A．A city of the future. B．A meeting in Songdo.
C．A plan to build a house. D．A report on public health.
3．Which company offers the great mind to build Songdo?
A．Cisco. B．IBM. C．Siemens.yagnoOLED D．Microsoft.
4．Dan Hill thinks that making cities smarter is one way to______.
A．drive people out of cities B．control the world's population C．develop his own company D．solve the cities' coming problems
5．Which of the following might be the best title for the text?
A．Future Education B．Smart Cities C．Government Services D．Famous Companies

15、The Rise of Artificial Intelligence（AI:人工智能）discusses AI technology and how it might affect humans in the future, but the future is already here. In 2011, America’s Favorite Quiz Show held a competition between two men and an IBM computer named “Watson”. IBM describes Watson as “a technology that understands all forms of data and also reasons and learns.” Both men thought they could beat Watson. Instead, the computer and its Artificial Intelligence soundly beat both of the human beings.
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE MADE SIMPLE
Artificial Intelligence generally refers to machines with human-like intelligence, such as problem-solving and learning. In order to be considered AI, the computer must pass the Turing test, named after Turing, a British mathematician who worked with the first computer.
In the 1950s, Turing published a paper questioning whether a computer could be used to trick humans into believing they were interacting（互动）with an actual human being. He found that if 30% of humans who interacted with a “machine”believed they wer e actually interacting with a human being, then the computer could be considered as AI.
A simple example of AI is Apple’s Siri. Ask Siri to do anything, from calling a friend to booking a dinner table, and Siri can do them. Siri seems almost to be a human being. When you ask, “Are you a real person?” Siri answers, “That is a really personal question.”
But just because a system can behave like a human being, that does not mean it can think like humans, Or, does it?
JOINING OF HUMAN & MACHINE
It seems that our devices（设备）will turn into humans. Our phones already tell us to take an umbrella before we walk out the door. They volunteer traffic conditions so we know how long it will take to drive to work.
Our devices can interact with us in a way that looks like a real conversation with another human being, like with Siri. It does not seem crazy at all to think that AI may be programmed to actually think. If it has not already happened, it will likely happen in the near future.
Have we come to the time when computers and AI have caught up to human beings? Although computers have the ability to make our life better, is it possible that they may control and destroy human beings in the end?
WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDS
It seems pretty clear that in the future, we’re going to see a human-machine hybrid. Humans will be stronger, live longer and be smarter. Ray Kurzweil, a computer scientist, believes that within 50 years, the humans on Earth will be about 50 to 80% robotic. There is no question that AI will be a part of every technology that humans create. Will it turn out be more of a benefit to humankind or will it be a risk and threaten（威胁到）humanity as we know it? If AI is programmed according to Isaac Asimov’s 3 Laws of Robotics, humans won’t have a problem with machines; bu t for some, evil AI still stands in the way of a peaceful and safe life on Earth.
1．The story of computer Watson is mentioned here to tell us that ______.
A．the age of machines has come
B．humans make their own enemies
C．AI has actually come into our life
D．humans are playing a dangerous game
2．From the passage, we can learn that _____.
A．Turing test was designed to examine the first computer
B．machines interacting with humans can be called AI
C．Siri can volunteer to book a dinner table
D．AI will help humans to be stronger and smarter
3．What does the underlined expression “a human-machine hybrid” in the last paragraph probably mean?
A．A machine with a human look.
B．A human created by machines.
C．A body part robotic part human.
D．A robot that can behave like humans.
4．The passage is mainly about _____.
A．the history and future of AI
B．the advantages and disadvantages of AI
C．the examples of AI
D．the competition between humans and AI

19、The winter holiday is coming. How can we make good use of it and make it interesting and colourful? Here is my Plan for my winter holiday.
I will exercise for about an hour every day so that I can keep healthy. I will go on a trip with my family to relax myself. What’s more. I want to cook meals in order to help my parents reduce their stress. And I’ll clean the rooms to keep them clean and tidy.
As a student, I will have to finish my homework. So I plan to spend one or two hours doing my homework every day. I’ll also read as many books as possible to learn more knowledge.
This is my winter holiday plan. Hope it is of some value to you.。
