I have been trying to help other people whenever I can all these years.Tina: One of my neighbors is an old man who cannot speak. He makesmoney by recycling waste. Our other neighbors don't like his behavior. But inmy opinion, it's his way to support his family. Once, after cleaning my house, Iplaced some cardboard boxes in his garden and left my rubbish beside my door.However, when I was about to go out, I found nothing outside my door but a note: "I have thrown away your rubbish.

While I was in college, it was really easy to meet new people. But "out in the real world", I was finding it really hard. I live in a big city, and it seems like everyone around me is busy or already has all the friends they want. I was feeling so discouraged(沮丧的）and I didn't know what to do, so I called my sister for some advice.My sister is five years older than I am, so she's been through all this already. She's been helping me with my problems all my life. When I explained my problem, she understoodcompletely. She said, "Why don't you try meeting people online?""Online? Are you kidding?" I asked. "A friend of mine chatted with a guy online, and when she finally met him face to face, he was nothing like what he said."My sister laughed. "You don't have to look for dates online," she said. "But you can find other people like you—people who have just moved to town and want to make some new friends. When I first moved to New York after college, I found a book club and a football team online. I met a lot of people that way.""But you don't even like football!" I said."I know," she replied. "But that didn't matter. I still bad a lot of fun. You played volleyball in college. Why don't you look for a volleyball team to join? Or an art class?""Yeah! I saw a website about volunteering the other day." I said. "I could volunteer for an organization here in Washington. I bet I could meet a lot of really nice people that way.""Good idea!" my sister answered excitedly. "Hey, you might even meet the perfect guy.""OK, now you're starting to sound like Mom," I said. "Thanks a lot for the advice. I'm going online right now. I'll let you know what happens. Will you be home tonight?""No, but I'll be here all day t o morrow, so give me a call," my sister replied.

It is also a field of study that tries to make computers "smart". John McCarthy, a scientist, came up with the name "artificial intelligence" in 1955. Many things such as learning and problem solving can be done by computers, though not in the same way as we do.An unusual goal of AI research is to create computer programs that can learn, solve problems, and think logically(逻辑地）. At present we use the term Al for successfully understanding human speech, recognizing(识别）human faces, operating self-driving cars and competing in some game systems like Chess and AlphGo（阿尔法狗）. Some people also consider AI a danger to humans if it develops too quickly. Professor Stephen Hawking (霍金), a well-known British scientist, was not for this kind of technology.Math is the basic language of AI. If we raise the standard in the learning of math, our students will be more likely to become successful AI designers in the future. We not only want bright students, but also need to attract average students and give them the math skills which are needed to change them into AI designers. Besides, a good knowledge of computer science is also necessary for A I designing.Scientists hope to create creative and emotional AI which can possibly understand human feelings or create art. Many ways and tools have been tried to discover this fascinating field.23. From Paragraph 1, we know thatA. all problems can be solved by AIB. machines with AI can think and learnC. AI has been around for only 60 years.D. AI works in the same way as humans24. The underlined word "it" in Paragraph 2 refers to(指的是）A. ChessB. AlphaGoC. the dangerD. AI25. According to the writer and the following school report, which student will most probably become a successful AI designer?School ReportA. Mike.B. Peter.C. Amy.D. Cathy.26. Paragraph 4 mainly tells us the scientists’about AI.A. wishesB. worriesC. feelingsD. discoveries(D)In our culture, the ability to make one's own decisions is important. John F. Kennedy's quote(引语）"Too often we enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought." shows an unpleasant truth.Much of what we know and believe has been taught to us by others, and we often accept this information without spending much time thinking it over for ourselves.In today's world, we are being presented with information, ideas and beliefs, but many of them are against each other. Psychology(心理学）tells us that if we hear an idea enough times, or心t comes from someone we respect(尊敬), we will probably believe that idea. In these cases, we base our opinions on the opinions of others. If each of us does not think about this information for ourselves and come to our own conclusions , we will become nothing more than parrots（鹦鹉）quoting the opinions of others.Examples of spreading fake news without thought can be seen on the Internet. Some people believe whatever they read and then share the story without thinking about the facts. All it takes is one quick click(点击）of the "share" button, and the story travels on its way to influence even more unthinking readers. This can cause serious problems.If we just stop for a moment to think about what we read and hear, and form our own opinions, we will be more thoughtful, more independent, and more creative people, but few take that time. Yet we need not lose heart over this bad habit. In fact, simply becoming aware (意识到）of it is the first step towards correcting it. Once we become aware that we tend(趋向）to hold opinions and beliefs without thinking them through, we can change that pattern of behavior. Hopefully, we can learn to experience and enjoy the "discomfort of thought" and form our own opinions.27. What's the purpose of this passage?A. To describe how Internet news spreads.B. To explain why people don't have their own opinions.C. To tell people that they should have their own thoughts.D. To warn people not to believe other people's ideas.28. The underlined word "fake" in Paragraph 4 probably meansA. untrueB. unhappyC. unfairD. unusual29. How can we have our own opinions according to the passage?A. By spreading the information we receive.B. By learning more about psychology.C. By quoting others' opinions like parrots.D. By thinking about what we read and hear.30. We can probably find this passage in a book aboutA. historyB. educationC. sportsD. languages三、任务型阅读（本题有5 小题，每小题l 分，共计 5 分）下面是有关支付宝( Alipay )的英文版使用说明，请根据图片所示步骤，从A -E中选择正确的选项与图片配对。
