A
Spring is welcome every year when it finally approaches.Here are suggestions for making the most of the season and seeing Britain at its best.
1.Daffodils(水仙花)
Nothing beats a sea of wild daffodils.My favorite spots to see spectacular(壮观的)displays
of wild daffodils are Dunsford nature reserve on the edge of Dartmoor or Exbury gardens in the New Forest,or of course you could go to Ulls water in the Lake District where it is thougt Wordsworth wrote his famous lines.
2.Bluebells(风信子)
A walk in a spring bluebell wood,with the blue mist and the sweet smell,represents the
very best of spring in Britain .It’s a sight almost unique to the British Isles as we have around 40 percent of the world’s bluebells.The peak time is probably the end of April and the start of May.
3.Dwan chorus（鸟儿欢叫）
The cuckoo and the nightingale (夜莺)are in deep decline.The Number of cuckoos has more than halved in the last 20 years but you can still hear their familiar two-note call if you visit the Somerset Levels.As for nightingales,the favorite hotspot has to be Fingringhoe Wick ,the Essex Wildlife Trust’s flagship nature e here during the first two weeks of May and you might hear up to 25 male birds in full song.
4.Badeger(獾) watching
How about going badger watching?It’s surprisingly exciting.Loverly badger babies start to
appear in April(having been underground since February),so badger watching in spring can be particularly entertaining.See for more information.Some places ,like Devon Badger Watch,even have underground hides to put you eye to eye with the badgers,a brilliant idea.
21.What can people do in the place where Wordsworth wrote his works?
A.Adimire daffodils
B.Enjoy bird’s songs
C.Watch loverly badgers
D.Plant bluebells
22.What can be the best time to enjoy dawn chorus?

Music is not just a set of sounds and rhythms.Its influence on the brain is much deeper than any other human experience.Keep on reading to know all those amazing power of music.
A recent study suggests that preterm(早产的)babies appear to experience less pain and feed more when listening to music.A team of experts led by Dr.Manoj Kumar of the University of Alberta,Canda,found that music had a beneficial effect on reducing pain for preterm babies experiencing painful medical tests.It also appeared to benefit full-term babies during operations.
Many people experiencing brain damage have speech and movement-related problems.Music can help them recover from brain injuries.As a different and effective treatment,doctors often advise such patients to listen to good music to improve the parts of brain responsible for these two functions.When people with neurological(神经系统的)disorders hear a musical beat,it helps them to regain a balanced walk.
Though music cannot make deafness disappear,it can really stave off the loss of hearing.There was an experiment involving 163 people where 74 were musicians.Participants were asked to pass some listening tests.Musicians heard the sounds better than non-musicians,and this difference gets clearer with age.This means that a 70-year-old musician hears better than a 50-year-old non-musician,even in a noisy environment.
Besides,music mends a broken heart.It is not about thrown-away love,but about a heart attack.The matter is that music can help people recover from a heart attack or heart operation by reducing blood pressure,slowing down the heartbeat rate,and reducing anxiety.Listening to the quality music produces positive emotions,improves the movement of blood,and expands blood vessels,thus,promoting quick recovery of the whole cardiovascular(心血管的)system.
24.What does the underlined phrase “stave off”in Paragraph 4mean?
A.Increase
B.Prevent
C.Lead to
D.Break into
25.Why can music mend a broken heart?
A.It helps make a person feel optimistic about life
B.It can help people prevent disease caused by anxiety
C.It can help patients recover in a slow way
D.It has a positive effect on human body systems’ work
26.How does music affect preterm babies?
A.It helps develop their potential in music
B.It helps reduce their pain
C.It helps repair their neurological systems
D.It helps improve their hearing systems
27.What may be the best title for text?
A.Who can benefit from music?
B.The way to choose quality music
C.The music’s effects on one’s mind and body
D.The best time to listen to music
C
Every country has certain cultural patterns making it unique. Of course, habits and customs between cultures and countries tend to overlap(重叠).The popularity of social media, for instance, ignores borders and breaks down cultural differences. Technology has made the world a much smaller and culturally similar place. However, when looking at a foreign country, we will always find differences between our traditions and theirs. Young Italians and young Americans, for example, though alike in many respects, have also some pronounced differences, especially when it comes to work, pastimes and sports.
Most American teens have part-time jobs through high school and college. Youths in
舒中高一统考英语第3页（共8页）
Italy tend not to. The reasons behind this are multifaceted. It is, to begin with, rather hard in Italy to find the type of part-time jobs students usually take up. Moreover, there is also a different cultural attitude to take into consideration, especially when thinking of certain parts of Italy. Young Italians like to enjoy life to the full and feel there will be time to work once they become adults, hence the lack of interest in finding odd jobs while still in school. Like the old saying goes, some Italians work to Live, while some Americans often live to work.
In a lot of ways, young Italians ans and Americans spend their free time in a similar fashion. Listening to music, watching movies, hanging out, practicing sports and surfing the Internet are all common ways to pass some free time. Italians, especially, make a point of going out and being social, often choosing between pizzerie or birrerie (place for pizza or beer). which stay open late. Italians often pile into a couple of cars and go out in a big group. In general, American teens participate in a lot of extracurricular(课外的)activities, many often through school, while Italians may not take part in so many.
When going out. Italian teens tend to meet and gather on the streets of their cities or towns, something not as common in the United States, especially in highly populated areas. This very Italian habit can be linked to the urban arrangement of Italian towns. Many of them date back thousands of years and feature central piazzas(广场) and areas built around historical sitcs that have now become gathering places for the young.If you're in Italy. don't be surprised by the sight of hundreds gathered in a piazza or on the street, laughing and drinking the night away.
28. The passage is mainly about
A the relationship between young people of America and Italy.
B. the unique lifestyles shared by American and Italian teens
C. some differences in tradition between young Americans and Italians
D. some customs and habits of the Americans and Italians
29.By saying "some Italians work to live,while some Americans often live to work”,the
author most probably wants to tell us that
A. Americans are more diligent and thus live a better life
B. Italians have a better life attitude toward working
C. Italians and Americans have different choices regarding work
D. Americans and Italians both find it hard to locate a satisfying job 30. According to paragraph 3,which of the following statements is true?
A. American teens like to drive out and social together in big groups.
B.Italian youth take an active part in extracurricular activities.
C. ltalian youth enjoy pizza and beer because they are cheap.
D. American teens practice sports and surf the Internet to pass time.
31.If there is one more paragraph in this passage, what will it most probably be about?
A. The central piazzas and areas built around historical sites in Italy.
B. The urban arrangement of the highly populated American cities.
C. The working conditions of the young Americans and Italians.
D. The differences in practicing sports between teens of the two nations.
D
Let us all raise a glass to A1phaGo and the advance of artificial intelligence.
AlphaGo, DecpMind's Go-playing AI, just defeated the best Go-playing human, Lee Sedol. But as we drink to its success. we should also been trying to understand what it means for the future.
The number of possible moves in a game of Go is so huge that in order to win against a player like Lee, AiphaGo was designed to adopt a human-like style of gameplay by using a relatively recent development-deep learning. Deep learning uses large data sets，"machine learning" algorit-
hms(计算程序)and deep neural(神经的)networks to teach the Al how to perform a particular set of tasks. Rather than programming complex Go rules and strategies into AlphaGo, DeepMind designers taught AlphaGo to play the game by feeding it data based on typical Go moves. Then, AlphaGo played against itself, tirelessly learning from its own
mistakes aid improving its gam eplay over time. The results speak for themselves.
Deep learning represents a shift in the relationship humans have with their technological creations. It results in Al that displays surprising and unpredictable behaviour. Commenting after his first loss. Lee described being shocked by an traditional move he claimed no human would ever have made. Demis Hassabis, one of DeepMlind's founders,
echoed this comment： "We're very pleased that A1phaGo played some quite surprising and beautiful moves.”
Unpredictability and surprises are-or can be-a good thing. They can indicate that a system is working well, perhaps better than the humans that came before it. Such is the case with AlphaGo. However, unpredictability also indicates a loss of human control. That Hassabis is surprised at his creation's behaviour suggests a lack of control in the design. And though some loss of control might be fine in the context of a game such as Go, it raises urgent questions elsewhere.
How much and what kind of control should we give up to AI machines? Is there some AI that we should just not develop if it means any loss of human control? How much of a say should corporations, governments, experts or citizens have in these matters? These important questions, and many others like them, have emerged in response, but remain unanswered. They require human, not human-like, solutions.
So as we drink to the milestone in AI, let's also drink to the understanding that the time to answer deeply human questions about deep learning and AI is now.
32.What contributes most to the unconventional move of A1phaGo in the game?
A.The capability of self-improvement.
B.The constant input of large data
sets.
C.The installation of deep neutral networks.
D.The knowledge of Go rules and
strategies.
33.A potential danger of AI is
A.the loss of human control
B.the friendly relationship
C.the fierce competition
D.the lack of challenge
34.How should we deal with the unprcdictability of AI?
A.We should stop AI machines from developing even further.
B.We snould call on the government to solve these problems for us.
C.We should rely on ourselves and come up with effective solutions.
D.We should invent even more intelligent machines to solve everything.
35.What's the author's attitude towards this remarkable advance in AI?
A.Supportive.
B.Optimistic.
C.Doubtful.
D.Cautious.
