Htm/.SongKran--ThailandDates: 13 th -15th, AprilIn Thailand, people celebrate a festival called Songkran, when people head out to the streets with water guns to spray(喷，洒）everyone who walks past.Naghol--VanuatuDates: Every Saturday from to MayEvery year, villagers come together to celebrate the harvest of yams, an important part in the peopls’s diet in Vanuatu. The festival is most famous for its “land diving ceremony”. During the ceremony men and boys dive to the ground from hig h wooden towers with only two thin vines attached to their ankles.Cherry Blossom Viewing ---JapanDates: The cherry blossom season is different from year to year depending on the weather forecast.The festival is well-known. Japanese celebrate the days when the flowers finally blossom. Only a few days later, the petals(花瓣）fall to the ground, like pink snowflakes.

In the newspaper.BDr. 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 f ailures, which are hard at the time, but they help not just you but the whole 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 to ugh, and you can get them through hard times,” she says.Finally, another 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.CIt was reported last week that developers could take photos from Apple mobile and GoogleAndroid 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 i f they could find a way on their own to prevent Apple from having access toprivate 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 book, 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 clo se 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, th en he would be forced to take the issue further. He said other companies had been willing to work with his office to fix issues. “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 protectconsumers 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 privacyinvasion _________ .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.D. causes privacy invasion to happen frequently.31 If the privacy concerns can't be solved with the help of the F.T.C., _______ .A.The companies will be fined.B. The companies will be closed.C. The senators will turn to legislation.D. The senators will force the companies not to invade privacy.DArtificial 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” and 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 cancerdeaths.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 particular route that we find exc iting is the use of this algorithm on a mobile device, but to achieve this we would have to build an app and test its accura cy 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 dayB. We can use Artificial Intelligence to cure skin cancersC. We can use smart-phone to scan our skin at presentD. The research will be of great help to us and our health care33. 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 toB. equaled byC. allergic toD. opposite to35. What’s probably the best tit le of this passage?A. Cancer Doctors Are OutB. An APP Scanning Skin CancersC. Artificial Intelligence—change our futureD. Artificial Intelligen ce—as good as cancer doctors第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
