入舵市安恙阳光实验学校Unit 2 Robots (建议用时：35分钟)Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2020·南昌二模)Robots are now being employed notjust for dangerous tasks, such as discovering mines orrescuing people in disasters. They are also findingapplications as household help and as nursing assistants. As increasing numbers of machines, equipped with the latest artificial intelligence, take on a growing variety of specialized and everyday tasks, the question of how people see them and behave towards them becomes ever more urgent.A team led by Sari Nijssen of Radboud University and Markus Paulus, Professor of Developmental Psychology at LudwigMaximiliansUniversität(LMU), have carried out a study to determine the degree to which people show concern for robots and behave towards them based on moral principles.According to Sari Nijssen, the study set out to answer the following question：“Under what circumstances would adults be willing to sacrifice robots to save human lives？” The participants were faced with a hypothetical(假设的) moral dilemma: Would they be prepared to put a single person at risk in order to save a group of injured persons? In the situations presented the intended victim was either a human, a humanoid robot that had been humanized to various degrees or a robot that was clearly recognizable as a machine.The study suggested that the more the robot was humanized, the less likely participants were to sacrifice it. Situations that included vivid stories in which the robot was described as a merciful being or as a creature with its own understandings, experiences and thoughts, were more likely to stop the study participants from sacrificing it in the interests of anonymous(无名的) humans.“This result indicates that our study group attached a certain moral status to the robot，” says Paulus. “One possible suggestion of this finding is that attempts to humanize robots should not go too far. Such efforts could come into conflict with their intended function—to be of help to us.”【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文。

手惰市安逸阳光实验学校Unit 2 RobotsⅠ.阅读理解AYou use her as a shoulder to cry on. She texts you back with casual jokes. But she, Xiaoice, is only a virtual chatbot.Xiaoice, Microsoft's latest artificial intelligence robot, was briefly released in 2014, and returned to WeChat in 2015, whereshe_became_a_big_hit. Millions of young Chinese now exchange messages with her daily, The New York Times reported. On WeChat, Xiaoice is an official account. After following it, users can start textbased conversations with Xiaoice.“Xiaoice's incredible learning ability was why people loved to talk with her，” Liu Jinchang, a researcher at Hightech Research and Development Center under the Ministry of Science and Technology, told China Daily. Apart from her ability to identify photos and send emojis (表情符号) in conversations, Xiaoice gains 45 percent of her knowledge from interacting with users, China Daily reported.Chatbot pr ograms first appeared in the mid1960s in the US. Driven by top tech companies, they are becoming smarter and more common. For instance, IBM's latest artificial intelligence program served as an academic consultant at Australia's Deakin University, answering students' questions about course schedules and financial aid. Apple's Siri and Amazon's Alexa have been used as voice assistants who can read news, play music and even make jokes for their users.These programs are expected to move beyond smartphones, into televisions, cars and living room, The New York Times pointed out. However, it may take decades before scientists develop a “Samantha”，the advanced chatbot seen in the fiction film Her. In the film, Samantha sparks a romantic relationship with her user played by US actor Joaquin Phoenix. Many viewers are enthusiastic about this fantasy of virtual soul mate.【解题导语】本文主要讲述了微软官方推出的一款人工智能机器人“微软小冰”，用户可以与它进行对话交流。

Most people, and many animals, like eating it. However, the only way for them to get that honey is to find a wild bees' nest and take the honey from it. Often, these nests are high up in trees, and it is difficult to find them. In parts of Africa, though, people and animals looking for honey have a strange and unexpected helper—a little bird called a honey guide.The honey guide does not actually like honey, but it does like the wax in the beehives(蜂房). The little bird cannot reach this wax, which is deep inside the bees' nest. So, when it finds a suitable nest, it looks for someone to help it. The honey guide gives a loud cry that attracts the attention of both passing animals and people. Once it has their attention, it flies through the forest, waiting from time to time for the curious animal or person as it leads them to the nest. When they finally arrive at the nest, the_follower reaches in to get at the delicious honey as the bird patiently waits and watches. Some of the honey, and the wax, always falls to the ground, and this is when the honey guide takes its share.Scientists do not know why the honey guide likes eating the wax, but it is very determined in its efforts to get it. The birds seem to be able to smell wax from a long distance away. They will quickly arrive whenever a beekeeper is taking honey from his beehives, and will even enter churches when beeswax candles are being lit.11．Why is it difficult to find a wild bees' nest?A．It's small in size.B．It's hidden in trees.C．It's covered with wax.D．It's hard to recognize.12．What do the words “the follower” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A．A bee. B．A bird.C．A honey seeker. D．A beekeeper.13．The honey guide is special in the way ________．A．it gets its foodB．it goes to churchC．it sings in the forestD．it reaches into bees' nests14．What can be the best title for the text?A．Wild Bees B．Wax and HoneyC．Beekeeping in Africa D．HoneyLover's HelperB“Fathers should be neither seen nor heard，” wrote Oscar Wilde.“This is the only proper basis for family life.” It's hard to say what Wilde would have thought of this week's cover photo or the pictures inside of dads and their children.Several clearly oppose the outdated idea of fathers as detached(使分开) from the parenting process and that's just what the photographers intended.Gregory Heisler，who did the cover photograph，says he wanted the image to show genuine affections.So，rather than use professional models，he went out and found some “real dads and their real kids”. Adds Heisler, “Instead of doing some skilful，overproduced photographs，I wanted something more authentic to the experience of being a father.” This isn't the first time that Heisler，39，has conveyed complex ideas for the cover of TIME.His photographs have decorated the front of the magazine some 20 times，ranging from Olympic athlete Jackie JoynerKersee and director Davis Lynch to former President George Bush and Ted Turner for “Man of the Year” issues in 1991 and 1992，respectively.But this week's TIME cover has special meaning，he says，because he and his wife had their first child，Lucy，16 months ago.The pictures appearing inside were all done by photographer Jeffrey Lowe.Although Lowe has not experienced fatherhood yet，he observed many warm moments of parenting by spending a lot of private time with each dad and child.Of all the pictures，Lowe was most deeply touched by the fathertobe embracing his pregnant wife.While most of the credit for the pictures rightly goes to those behind the camera，cover coordinator(协调者) Linda Freeman and assistant picture editor Mary Worrell Bousquette，who work behind the scenes，also deserve praise.Freeman，for instance，had the challenging task of making arrangements for the group portrait of child movie sta rs that appears on page 62. She says, “My greatest reward is working with these talented artists.”Bousquette edited the pictures that appear inside.“I wanted our story to show the many faces of fatherhood，”she says.At least in this issue，those fathers are seen as well as heard.15．In this week's TIME the photographers wanted ________．A．to show Oscar Wilde's view had gone out of dateB．to show honor to the famous playwright Oscar WildeC．to support Oscar Wilde's viewD．to say sorry to Oscar Wilde16．In Oscar Wilde's view，________．A．fathers should stay actively involved in their children's livesB．there should be distance between fathers and children in family lifeC．what fathers enjoy most is family lifeD．fathers aren't sure about what they should do at home17．Jeffrey Lowe managed to show fathers' feelings accurately in his photos by ________．A．trying to experience fatherhood himselfB．spending most of his time with his pregnant wifeC．studying the relationship between each member in a familyD．mixing with many fathers and their children18．Which of the following is TRUE according to this passage?A．Heisler has conveyed complex ideas for the cover of TIME several times.B．Mary Worrell Bousquette is a cover coordinator.C．Lowe was most deeply touched by his pregnant wife.D．The author praises the work by the photographers and the editors.Ⅲ.完成句子19．____________________________ could Holmes settle down and dive into his logical deduction. (leave)直到他独处时，福尔摩斯才能静下心来投入到他的逻辑推理中。

高三英语一轮复习练习8：Unit 2 Robots练习题

Unit 2 RobotsⅠ.阅读理解ARobots have proven very useful in different situations.But those robots are smallremote-controlled tanks with a mechanical arm,and they can get hung up on narrow stairwells(楼梯井) and are stopped by ladders.“A lot of the places where you do disaster recovery are only accessible for people,”says Marc Raibert,the president of Boston Dynamics,which is providing advice and help for Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency(DARPA)—the scientific research department of the U.S. military(军队)—to create the most advanced robots on earth.“If you’re a humanoid—a machine or creature with the appearance and qualities of a human—access can be increased and you can use availa ble tools.”In the future DARPA hopes,a humanoid robot will be able to drive trucks,and enter power plants.That future is a long way off.Simple movements like squatting(蹲) are almost impossible for something with metal parts and skin that cannot bend,saysRaibert.Still,recent progress is impressive enough that the military has begun to bet on legged bots.The Office of Naval Research is working with Virginia Tech on a humanoid firefighting robot,and Dynamics showed off two of its latest projects:Cheetah,a four-legged robot capable of running 28 miles per hour,and the Legged Squad Support System,a big and awkward headless robot funded by DARPA and the Marine Corps to help carry things in places like mountain areas.“Half the land on earth is too rough,sandy,or rocky for wheeled things,”saysRaibert.“Humans and animals can go to those places.They are the only examples of successful systems that do what we’re trying to do.”None of the walking robots is meant to fight.They’re designed to put out fires and clean up industrial accidents.But they are all funded by the military.“I’m well aware of how the world works,”says Dennis Hong,founding director of Virginia Tech’s robotics lab.“Robots for me are tools to help society,not to fight in wars.But once a technology leaves our lab,there’s no way to control how people can use it.”1.In Marc Railbert’s opinion,robots need to be designed like humans to .A.accomplish complex tasksB.be controlled efficientlyC.survive disastersD.appear friendly2.Which of the following is most likely to be Cheetah?3.The underlined word “They”in Paragraph 3 most probably refers to .A.Cheetah and the Legged Squad Support SystemB.humans and animalsC.wheeled thingsD.legged robots4.How does Dennis Hong feel about using robots in wars?A.Surprised.B.Cautious.C.Uninterested.D.Helpless.BWhen it comes to preschool education,there are two lines of thought.One says that preschoolers need to be taught early academic skills in order to get a leg up on future school achievement.Another says the focus should be on social and emotional development.But,new research from Penn State University says a high quality preschool program should do both.Karen Bierman,Penn State Professor of Psychology,and her team studied 350 preschoolers.Half were taught the traditional curriculum(课程).The other half were given the basic curriculum as well as social and emotional teachings.The results show that the half students taught with a curriculum that includes social lessons,such as sharing,listening,and self-control,score higher in both the social and academic areas of school readiness that the other half students.The other finding is that when you work on both academic and social-emotional skills,you get stronger gains in both areas.“You get the c ombined power when you put both together,so neither area is weakened,”she says.Clearly,knowing how to share,develop healthy friendships,and learn side-by-side with others is important to a child’s academic achievement in the classroom.But,Bierman says the importance of social and emotional education goes beyond that.Preschool is prime time for the development of self-regulation,which not only tells a child not to hit another child,but also tells a child how to set personal goals and focus himself enough to follow through with those goals.And the ability to regulate behavior is what helps children get motivated at school.“When they getupset,bored,orfrustrated,itdoesn’t defeat them,”she says.Goal-oriented(面向目标的) and motivated learning is best taught inpreschool,Biermansays,when the prefrontal part of the brain,which controls decision-making,is at the height of development.“First grade teachers can teach letter names,but preschool is when that behavior is peaking and language is just beginning to develop,”s he says.5.Karen Bierman and her team carried out the research by .A.tracking 350 preschoolers for yearsB.separating children into two equal groupsC.working out a high quality preschool programD.analyzing the importance of social and emotional teaching6.The underlined words “prime time”in the text probably refer to .A.the best timeB.the only timeC.the earliest timeD.the suitable time7.According to the text,self-regulation can help children .A.be willing to studyB.become emotionlessC.memorize letter namesD.learn language quickly8.What’s the best title for the text?A.Preschoollearning:more than ABCs and 123sB.KarenBierman:freeing kids from boring learningC.Learning self-regulation in preschool:why it matters?D.Academic and social-emotional skills:which is more important?Ⅱ.七选五FivesimplethingsthatareactuallycomplexTheprooffor“1+1=2”is300pageslong1.In the early 20th century,Bertrand Russell wanted to prove that mathematics worked,so he decided to start with the simplest concept and prove 1+1=2.However,it took the mathematician and philosopher 372 pages of complex sums.Definingtheword“the” isreallydifficultThe word “the”is one of the most common words in English.2.For example,why do we say,“I have the flu,”butnot“I have the headache?”In the OxfordEnglishDictionary,there are almost two dozen different ways the word can be used in a sentence correctly:YawningSome people say we yawn to keep us alert(警觉的) by taking in oxygen.However,various experiments have shown that yawning actually cools down the brain.3.As for why yawning is

landmark(地标性建筑)4.It’s a question that has been puzzling philosophers for years because,without a point of reference,it’s difficult to define what left and right actually are.5.You’d think that the reason we enjoy things is because it feels good in some way,but it’s only half the story.There’s a famous experiment where wine experts were fooled into thinking a cheap bottle of wine was an outstanding one just by switching the labels.Their enjoyment of the product wasn’t based on appreciation of wine—it was based on the fact that they were told it was good wine.A.What you feel may not be the truth.B.We enjoy things for reasons other than enjoyment.C.But what if you were talking to one who couldn’t see?D.We all know that one plus one equals two,but do you know why?E.Infact,there is no universally agreed theory for why we actually yawn.F.Maybe you’d refer to the move of the Earth or something comparably huge.G.Most of us have probably never stopped to think about how strange a

Unit 2 RobotsⅠ.阅读理解A[2020·昆明市高三复习诊断]Artificial intelligence(AI) technology may soon be a useful tool for doctors. It may help them better understand and treat diseases like liver cancer in ways that were never before possible.Rishi Rawat, who teaches AI at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles, is part of a team of scientists researching how AI and machine learning can more easily recognize cancerous growths in the liver. Rawat provides information about cancer cells to a computer. He say s, “You can put the data into them and they will learn the patterns and the pattern recognition that's important for making decisions.〞David Agus is another researcher. He believes that machines are not going to take the place of doctors. “Computers will not treat patients, but they will help make certain decisions and look for things that the human brain can't recognize by itself.〞Once a confirmed cancerous growth is removed, doctors still have to treat the patient to reduce the risk of cancer returning. The form of treatment depends on the kind of cancer. Nowadays, researchers take a thin piece of tissue (组织), put it on a small piece of glass and add color to see the cells better. That process could take days or even longer. Scientists say artificial intelligence can do something better than just count cells. Through machine learning, it can recognize complex patterns or structures, and learn how the cells are organized.The hope is that machines will soon be able to make a quick identification of cancer that is free of human mistakes. Agus says the process could be done for almost no cost in the developing world and that having a large amount of information about patients is important for a machine to effectively do its job in medicine.The researchers of the university are now only studying liver cancer. But doctors predict artificial intelligence will one day make a difference in all forms of cancer.1．What can AI do with the help of the information provided by the researchers?A．Recognize cancer patterns.B．Treat liver cancer.C．Collect useful information.D．Store cancerous cells.2．What can we learn about AI?A．It will be able to replace doctors.B．Patients are unlikely to be cancerous again with its help.C．It is making a difference in taking care of patients.D．It can recognize cancer more accurately.3．What's the author's attitude towards the future of AI?A．Optimistic. B．Doubtful.C．Curious. D．Cold.4．What is the best title for the text?A．AI Is Used to Treat CancersB．AI May Compete with DoctorsC．AI May Make Doctors BetterD．AI Is Better at Curing CancersB[2020·南昌模拟]Robots are now being employed not just for dangerous tasks, such as discovering mines or rescuing people in disasters.

Situations that included vivid stories in which the robot was described as a merciful being or as a creature with its own understandings, experiences and thoughts, were more likely to stop the study participants from sacrificing it in the interests of anonymous (无名的) humans.“This result indicates that our study group attached a certain moral status to the robot，〞says Paulus. “One possible suggestion of this finding is that attempts to humanize robots should not go too far. Such efforts could come into conflict with their intended function — to be of help to us.〞5．What has become a concern about robots?A．How to humanize them.B．How to treat them in life.C．How to use them effectively.D．How to find more applications.6．In the study the participants probably have to decide ________.A．when to sacrifice a robotB．where to experience risksC．which robot to work withD．what robots should be like7．What can be inferred from Paulus' words?A．Humanized robots offer less help to people.B．Humanizing robots too much may be improper.C．Certain moral status should be attached to robots.D．Conflicts often happen between humans and robots.8．Which of the following would be the best title for the text?A．Robots, a Must for FutureB．Humanized Robots, a New TrendC．Robots Saved, People Take the HitD．Humanized Robots Replace HumanⅡ.七选五[2020·临川一中等六校联考]Rise and Shine All DayMaking these easy tasks part of your morning schedule will improve your nutrition, energy, and mood today — and beyond.Stretch in bed.Try this even before you open your eyes.

But she, Xiaoice, is only a virtual chatbot.Xiaoice, Microsoft's latest artificial intelligence robot, was briefly released in 2014, and returned to WeChat in 2015, where she_became_a_big_hit. Millions of young Chinese now exchange messages with her daily, The New York Times reported. On WeChat, Xiaoice is an official account. After following it, users can start textbased conversations with Xiaoice.“X iaoice's incredible learning ability was why people loved to talk with her，” Liu Jinchang, a researcher at Hightech Research and Development Center under the Ministry of Science and Technology, told China Daily. Apart from her ability to identify photos and send emojis (表情符号) in conversations, Xiaoice gains 45 percent of her knowledge from interacting with users, China Daily reported.Chatbot programs first appeared in the mid1960s in the US. Driven by top tech companies, they are becoming smarter and more common. For instance, IBM's latest artificial intelligence program served as an academic consultant at Australia's Deakin University, answering students' questions about course schedules and financial aid. Apple's Siri and Amazon's Alexa have been used as voice assistants who can read news, play music and even make jokes for their users.These programs are expected to move beyond smartphones, into televisions, cars and living room, The New York Times pointed out. However, it may take decades before scient ists develop a “Samantha”， the advanced chatbot seen in the fiction film Her. In the film, Samantha sparks a romantic relationship with her user played by US actor Joaquin Phoenix. Many viewers are enthusiastic about this fantasy of virtual soul mate.【解题导语】本文主要讲述了微软官方推出的一款人工智能机器人“微软小冰”，用户可以与它进行对话交流。

care of him，his younger brother became his shadow，never leaving him alone for years.Except for writing with his toes，he was completelyunable to do anything in his life.As the two brothers grew up together，they had their share of problems and they would often quarrel.Then one day，his younger brother wanted to leave，living his own life，as many normal people do.So he was heartbroken and didn’t know what to do.A similar misfortune befell a girl，too.One night her mother，who suffered from chronic (慢性的) mental illness，disappeared.Her father went out to look for her mother，leaving her alone at home.She tried to prepare meals for her parents，only to overturn the kerosene light on the stove，resulting in a fire which took her hands away.Though her elder sister who was studying in another

researching and building robots，particularly snake robots，at Pittsburgh’s Carnegie Mellon University for years.Choset believes that his snake robot and others like it help reduce medical costs by making complex surgeries (外科手术) faster and easier.Choset says his new design is smaller and more flexible than earlier models.The size of surgical robots allowssurgeons to operate with far less damage to the body，helping the patient heal faster.For example，instead of opening the entire chest up during heart surgery，a small hole is made，and a thin robotic snake crawls inside to the proper spot.Dr Ashutosh Tewari of Cornell University Medical Center has used robotic tools to perform thousands of operations.Tewari said he’s most excited about the potential for surgical robots to do things humans can’t do.He said the variety of sensors available for surgical robots keeps expanding，even as they get smaller.He said they may one day be able to test chemicals or blood in the body，or even the electrical connections in nerves.Choset has also built larger snake robots designed for search and rescue，or just exploration.They can climb poles or trees and then look around through a camera in the head，and slid through places humans can’t reach.Another expert at Carnegie Mellon stresses that there’s still an enormous gap between humans and even the most hightech robots.Manuela Velosa noted that robots have been built that are good at one or two tasks—but not at the variety of tasks humans perform without even thinking.Velosa has been building robots that ask humans for help when they don’t know what to do，as well as teams of robots that play soccer against each other.Sometimes，the robots surprise her by having once defeated the other team.“It was programmed by me，but it looked to me as if they learned，〞she said.“I believe we are much closer to having robots be able to exist with humans peacefully.The beautiful thing is you see the robots learning.〞6．How does Choset help save medical costs?A．By changing the size of robots frequently.B．By designing larger snake robots.C．By making complex surgeries faster and easier.D．By improving the models of earlier snake robots.7．The main advantage of using the thin surgical robot is________. A．reducing the damage to the bodyB．proving the technology useful to themC．helping the doctors make much moneyD．worsening the patient’s sickness8．According to Manuela Velosa，________.A．robots will replace humans in the futureB．robots can do much better than humans at some tasksC．no robots can be made to turn to humans for helpD．robots are able to learn by themselves9．What can be inferred from the text?A．The snake robot is thought to have no potential.B．Larger snake robots are not practical.C．Doctors will refuse to use the snake robot.D．The future robot will be smarter and more popular.10．What is the text mainly about?A．Three famous roboticists.B．Researching and building robots.C．How to make snake robots.D．Different ideas on robots.课时作业(三十二)Ⅰ.单项填空1．解析：考察交际用语。

It was just several months after he listened to an informative speech in North Carolina.Ⅱ.阅读理解AWASHINGTON—It's a great achievement that inspires notions (观念) of robotswith consciousness and independent minds.When people or animals get hurt, they can usually compensate for minorinjuries and keep limping along, but for robots, even slight damage can make them stumble and fall. However, a recentlymade robot has demonstrated a novel ability: it can heal its own damage.The new robot, which looks like a splaylegged(弓形腿的), fourfooted starfish, can sense injury to itself and adapt. That ability sets the new robot apart from earlier machines. Because the robot can recov er from unfamiliar places. “There is a need for planetary robotic rovers (行星机器探测车) to be able to fix things on their own，” says Josh Bongard, a professor in the University of Ver mont, who is one of the device's creators. “Robots on other planets must be able to continue their mission without human help if they are damaged and cannot communicate their problem back to earth.”A typical robot functions according to a computer program, but the new robot works differently. First, sensors in its four legs observe the robot's movements and signal to its builtin computer. From the information it collects, the robotcreates its own programs that allow it to adapt to different situations. For example, when the researchers shortened one of the robot's legs, the smart machine simply adjusted its way of walking—it used three legs instead of four.The researchers are looking for other places to put the resilient robot to work. One spot is the ocean floor. That dark and dangerous undersea place might be a good choice for a robot the scientists call the Starfish. “We never officially named the robot, but we usually refer to it as the Starfish, even though a real starfish has five rather than four legs，” says Bongard. “Also, a real starfish is much better than our robot at recovering from injury, because it can actually grow its legs again.” Scientists have created robots that help humans in many ways: by exploring space, fighting fires, and even performing surgery.11．The newlydesigned robot distinguishes itself from the former ones because it________．A．can communicate with people on the Earth about their problemsB．works according to a certain computer programC．can find its problems and solve them automaticallyD．can explore unfamiliar places12．An example is given in the fourth paragraph in order to explain that the robot ________．A．is used to create new programsB．has typical robot functionsC．has sensors to observe its movementsD．can gather information and adapt to new conditions13．The underlined word “resilient” in the last paragraph means the robotis________．A．creative B．newlymadeC．able to recover D．informative14．Which of the following is TRUE about the robot “Starfish”？A．It was spoken highly of by people for its special ability.B．It will stumble and fall if damaged.C．It can grow its legs again once they are broken.D．It has started to work on the ocean floor.15．What might be the best title of the passage?A．How does the Starfish robot workB．DoItYourself robots repairC．Robots designed to work on other planetsD．New robots helping us in many waysBIn the fall of 1985，I was a brighteyed girl heading off to Howard University, aiming at a legal career and dreaming of sitting on a Supreme Court bench somewhere. Twentyone years later I am still a brighteyed dreamer and one with quite a different tale to tell.My grandma, an amazing woman, graduated from college at the age of 65. She was the first in our family to reach that goal. But one year after I started college, she developed cancer. I made the choice to withdraw from college to care for her. It meant that school and my personal dream would have to wait.Then I got married with another dream: building my family with a combination of adopted and biological children. In 1999, we adopted our first son. To lay eyes on him was fantastic—and very emotional. A year later came our second adopted boy. Then followed son No. 3. In 2003, I gave birth to another boy.You can imagine how fully occupied I became, raising four boys under the age of 8! Our home was a complete zoo—a joyous zoo. Not surprising, I never did makeit back to college fulltime. But I never gave up on the dream either. I had only one choice: to find a way. That meant taking as few as one class each semester.The hardest part was feeling guilty about the time I spent away from the boys. They often wanted me to stay home with them. There certainly were times I wanted to quit, but I knew I should set an example for them to follow through the rest of their lives.In 2007, I graduated from the University of North Carolina. It took me over 21 years to get my college degree!I am not special, just singleminded. It always struck me that when you're looking at a big challenge from the outside it looks huge, but when you're in the midst of it, it just seems normal. Everything you want won't arrive in your lifeon one day. It's a process. Remember：little steps add up to big dreams.16. When the author went to Howard University, her dream was to be________.A．a writer B．a teacherC．a judge D．a doctor17．Why did the author quit school in her second year of college?A．She wanted to study by herself.B．She fell in love and got married.C．She suffered from a serious illness.D．She decided to look after her grandma.18．What can we learn about the author from Paragraphs 4 and 5?A．She was busy yet happy with her family life.B．She ignored her guilty feeling for her sons.C．She wanted to remain a fulltime housewife.D．She was too confused to make a correct choice.19．What does the author mostly want to tell us in the last paragraph?A．Failure is the mother of success.B．Little by little，one goes far.C．Every coin has two sides.D．Well begun，half done.20．Which of the following can best describe the author?A．Caring and determined.B．Honest and responsible.C．Ambitious and sensitive.D．Innocent and singleminded.Ⅲ.基础写作近年微博(microblog)在中国越来越流行。
