Last Friday, we held our five discussion about what to present in our annual school art festival. And we decide to invite an elderly man fond of playing the erhu near our school join us. His music was very beauty but couldn’t get any attention from the rush-hour passer-by. The big day finally arrived where our festival took place. As a special guest played, all of us were lost in his music. After his performance, we rose to applaud hardly.
From this experience, I learned about that, to people like them, what really matters is not sympathy but more attention and appreciation, which will brighten their life.

文章介绍了人工智能领域的四个新发明。

13. There are some new inventions in the field of artificial intelligence (AI). Let’s have a look.
Invention 1: A system to identify Parkinson’s disease
The system works by measuring a person’s breathing patterns during sleep. The researchers noted that early signs of Parkinson’s disease are not easy to discover. But the team said the experiments showed that with just one night of sleep, the AI system can correctly identify Parkinson’s disease up to 86% of the time.
Invention 2: A tool to interpret pig emotions
The scientists developed an AI-driven algorithm to identify a series of emotions the pigs could be experiencing. The study centered on more than 7,000 audio recordings of pigs in different situations. The researchers said the tool can lead to further systems farmers can use to improve the productivity and well-being of their animals.
Invention 3: A system to identify and predict smells
The scientists built on past research to produce a brain-like technology model to create a “principal odor map” to identify molecules related to smells. The team said such a system can be used across many different fields, including the healthcare, food and fragrance industries, The researchers reported that the system can be used to help fight one of the world’s biggest health problems--diseases spread through insects.
Invention 4: A tool to fill in missing words in ancient writings
The tool, called Ithaca, is designed to help historians repair the writings and identify when and where they were written. The team said that when historians worked on their own, the success rate for repairing damaged inscriptions was about 25%. But when humans teamed up with Ithaca to assist in their work, the success rate jumped to 72%.
1. Which invention can help farmers increase income?
A．Invention 1.B．Invention 2.C．Invention 3.D．Invention 4.
2. What do Invention 1 and Invention 3 have in common?
A．They are good for people’s health.B．They should be used during sleep.
C．They can cure people of many diseases.D．They focus on the research on smells.
3. How does invention 4 help historians?
A．By recovering their health.B．By improving their accuracy.
C．By identifying their writings.D．By stimulating their emotions.

文章讲述一项研究，表明人工智能的兴起将导致“收入不平等”加剧及研究人员对机器人化的态度和建议。

14. According to a new study from Oxford Economics, a rise in artificial intelligence will result in an increase in “income inequality” as they estimate that 20 million manufacturing jobs will be lost in the next 11 years. In China alone, there could be 14 million robots taking work currently done by humans by 2030. While in the United States, more than 1.5 million workers would have lost their employment to technology by 2030.
The report predicts the use of robots worldwide has increased to 2.25 million over the past two decades. The researchers said, “As a result of robotisation, tens of millions of jobs will be lost, especially in poorer economies that rely on lower-skilled workers, which will therefore translate into an increase in income inequality.”
However, the researchers noted how “robotisation” has the potential to boost productivity and economic growth. They predicted a 5.3 percent rise in global gross domestic product (GDP) in 2030.The report said, “This means adding an extra $4.9 trillion per year to the global economy by 2030(in today’s prices).”
The report remained positive about the use of automation and urged lawmakers not to sand in the way of robots in the workplace, despite the threat of job losses.
The researchers said, “These findings should not lead policy-makers to seek to prevent the adoption of robot technology. Instead, the challenge should be to distribute the robot profits more evenly by helping workers prepare for and adapt to the big changes it will bring about. Explore all policy options from training, initiatives (新方案) and new welfare programs such as universal basic income.”
1. What is the number of potential job loss in Oxford Economics report based on?
A．Accurate figures.B．Official statistics.
C．Artificial intelligence.D．Approximate calculation.
2. What can we infer about the trend of robotisation in manufacturing industry?
A．It may enlarge the gap between rich and poor.
B．It has helped increase the global income.
C．It may increase international competition in lawmaking.
D．It has been universally recognized.
3. What do the researchers suggest to policy-makers in the last paragraph?
A．Boosting national economic development.
B．Providing citizens with lifelong education.
C．Slowing down the spread of robot technology.
D．Protecting workers’ interests by making new plans.
4. What’s the researchers’ attitude towards “robotisation”?
A．Skeptical.B．Favorable.C．Conservative.D．Tolerant.

15. T rust me — I am expedition doctor
Ever since I was a young child, I’ve had a taste for adventure, but I never imagined I’d be able to satisfy this passion at regular intervals because of my chosen career.
My work as an expedition (探险队) doctor has taken me all over the world. However, my favourite trips, and the ones in which I now specialise,
are those involving mountains. Never do I feel more inspired by nature than when I look up at their towering peaks and begin to prepare myself mentally for the challenges ahead.
I trained as a doctor in the UK, but there was little in that training to prepare me for binding up a broken leg during a storm on the side of a mountain! In fact, I’d say that medical skills come some way down the list of job requirements, after endurance, flexibility, problem-solving and communication.
This kind of medicine is a million miles away from the controlled, germ-free environment of a hospital, and your medical kit basically consists of whatever you can carry, so you sometimes have to be prepared to improvise (即兴做). For example, I’ve learned that some drugs can be used for several conditions, and I’ve even had to resort to cutting branches off a small tree to make a stick to support a broken arm.
That isn’t to say that you can’t train to be an expedition doctor; on the contrary, there are some excellent courses available. Not only do they teach medical techniques, but also practical skills such as carrying out risk assessments, crossing rivers safely and using satellite phones. The first course I did included a session on expedition dentistry, though I must admit I still don’t like the idea of pulling out someone’s tooth!
I do most of my work for adventure holiday companies, travelling to remote places. When I started out, these holidays were quite rare, but they have become much more mainstream now that we’ve all seen celebrities climbing Kilimanjaro or watched reality shows about people surviving in jungles.
I do have mixed feelings about all these people with large amounts of disposable income coming to poor areas just for their own enjoyment, so I try to make sure that the companies I work for have high ethical standards and benefit the local communities. And of course, tourism provides employment, and also opens the eyes of rich visitors to the hardship that many people are forced to endure.
I realise that this kind of life isn’t for everyone, but I’d recommend that all doctors try it at least once, if only to make them appreciate the comforts of their usual working environment!
1. The author feels that he has been________.
A．obliged to choose his career B．lucky with his job
C．obsessed with his adventure D．inspired by his patients
2. According to the passage, what can be learned about medical skills for an expedition doctor?
A．They are less important than practical skills.
B．They are strictly required as the most important.
C．They are adequately attained in medical schools.
D．They are an underlying part of practical skills.
3. Why do expedition doctors sometimes have to use unusual techniques?
A．They keep their equipment in a backpack.
B．Things can happen that they don’t expect.
C．They don’t have the resources of a hospital.
D．They are required by the patients on the trip.
4. The author works for ethical companies because________.
A．they organise expeditions in the remote areas he enjoys visiting
B．they appreciate the comforts of the unusual working environments
C．he wants to make sure that his clients are safe at all times during the expedition
D．he feels uncomfortable about the difference between rich tourists and poor local people

讲述了一位14岁的少年设计用于救助心脏病人的无人机并因此获奖的故事。

16. Max Du won the Canada-Wide Science Fair. His project is a drone (无人机) to save people who go into cardiac (心脏的) arrest. Max got the inspiration during Christmas break last year. “I got a toy drone from my parents, but I couldn’t fly it because it is snowy.” Max said. “So I played with it at home, and it got me thinking how a drone could be used as an indoor robot that could help people.”
About 35, 000 people have cardiac arrests in Canada each year. Most of those happen outside of a hospital, of whom fewer than 10 percent survive. Max believed a drone could offer faster support and life-saving medicine, but he had to build it himself to know for sure.
Testing his drone took about six months. Max’s parents had to deal with their son’s constantly flying and crashing in the home. Every time Max would create an exciting innovation, such as an extendable arm, it would add extra weight to his drone, causing it to break apart. Then Max would have to buy all new parts. Max tested using more lightweight materials until his design was more balanced.
Through trial and error, the 14-year-old boy finally got it right. His drone can open a door handle, fly in the air and then land softly on the ground.
A new extendable arm can be released to administer a shot or hand a patient lifesaving medicine. A built-in camera could directly conference with an
emergency response team whose members could monitor the patient remotely.
Max plans on applying for a patent (专利) so he can make connections in the health-care industry to get it made for real. He’s spent his summer learning about artificial intelligence at California’s Stanford University as one of 32 kids selected worldwide. He’ll head next to the University of Pennsylvania to take a college-level robotics class before returning to high school in September.
1. Why did Max Du design a drone by himself?
A．He had sympathy for those with heart attacks.
B．He had nothing to do in Christmas holidays.
C．He wanted use it to help his parents.
D．He tried to make it fly in the snow.
2. What can we learn from paragraphs 2 and 3?
A．Most of the people with cardiac arrests in Canada can survive.
B．Max’s parents were unwilling to help during his drone design.
C．It’s very important to control the balance of the drone.
D．Max’s design of the extendable arm is very smooth.
3. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about?
A．The instructions for using the drone.
B．The reason for applying for a patent.
C．The process of Max’s success.
D．The functions of the new drone.
4. Which of the following can best describe Max?
A．Considerate and brave.
B．Talented and creative.
C．Clever and honest.
D．Helpful and loyal.

介绍了人们可能会对别人的肢体语言产生误解的几种常见的情况及原因。

17. A few years ago, I was giving a presentation to the CEO of a company. Through the entire meeting time, the CEO sat at the conference table
with his arms tightly crossed without a smile. I was sure that he was not satisfied, but later his assistant told me her boss was impressed with my presentation. Suddenly, I realized that, it was his usual behavior. 1 Here are three more: ignoring the context, finding meaning in a single gesture, comparing with a proper culture.
First, context is king. The same nonverbal gestures can take on totally different meanings in different contexts. Y ou can’t really make sense of someone’s nonverbal message unless you understand the circumstances behind it. For example, if you yawn in a staff meeting because you were up early for an international business call, let people know why you’re tired. 2
Then, people are constantly trying to evaluate your state of mind by monitoring your body language. But often they will assign meaning to a single nonverbal gesture. Generally speaking, people take more notice of any sign that indicates you’re in a bad mood and not to be approached. 3 So, you may be more comfortable standing with your arms folded across your chest, but others judge that single gesture as resistant and unapproachable.
When I talk about culture, I’m referring to a set of shared values that a group of people hold. 4 More importantly, they are the kind of criteria by which people judge others. We all have cultural biases that regard some nonverbal behaviors as normal and right and others as strange or wrong. What’s proper and correct in one culture may be ineffective or even rude in another.
5 Understanding them, and trying not to make the same ones, will help you display your nonverbal ability.
A．Such values affect how members of the group think and act.
B．Nonverbal signals are very common in our daily life.
C．These are people’s most common mistakes when they read your body language.
D．As with me, when people don’t know your usual behavior they can easily jump to the wrong conclusion.
E．Without this context, you’ll look like you’re just bored.
F．If they don’t know the context, embarrassment will appear.
G．This is because the human brain pays more attention to negative messages than it does to positive ones.
八、语法填空
18. 阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1 个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。

Confucianism (儒家思想), 1 (develop) from thoughts by Confucius during the Spring and Autumn Period, is a philosophical system
which has become 2 important part of Chinese culture. It was first set up by Confucius (551–479 BC) and later was developed by philosophers, including Mencius, Dong Zhongshu, Wang Yangming and others.

Today, sentences from Confucianism are 5 (frequent) heard in speeches or talks given by famous foreign people. Besides, people around the globe can have access 6 Confucius ideas in Confucius Institutes and Chinese Culture Centers abroad. The institutes and centers serve as non-profit public institutions to help foreigners 7 (well) understand China than before through language teaching and culture introduction.
So far China 8 (open) 465 Confucius Institutes in 123 countries and regions. There are also 713 Confucius Classrooms operating in middle and primary schools. What’s more, Chinese Culture Centers in Cairo, Paris, Berlin, Tokyo and Denmark, to name a few, are introducing China by holding cultural 9 (activity), opening training classes, and 10 (build) libraries.。
