27、   That two bicycle salesmen were the first people to fly is as surprising today as it was over a century ago. In 1903 , the Wright brothers flew above the crowd at a public exhibition in the United States. For a long period, the whole world was still in shock.

The Wrights’ success is worth reviewing today because it challenges the 21st century's belief that, for young engineers, courses in arts and humanities are not as important as math and science. In fact, however, neither of the Wright brothers went to college or had any formal technical training.

To see what we can learn from the Wright brothers today, we must consider what made them different then. The Wright brothers grew up in a family where there was always encouragement on curiosity. The bookshelves in their home were filled with novels, poetry, and ancient history. The Wrights’parents had great curiosity for learning. They encouraged their children to read widely and find out the truth on their own. In their late 20s , the Wrights began reading books on the movement of bird wings , which led to their original air-control system.

The Wright brothers often compared themselves to artists because their invention had a lot to do with arts. For example, the art of flying was actually a complicated dance between man, machine and air, which required thousands of hours of practice to perfect. Technical skills and math were certainly necessary to build the machine, but much of the challenge lay in the art of flying in order to have beautiful lines during flight and landing.

If today’s schools hope to have more extraordinary engineers, they should broaden the limited academic requirements and encourage students to be curious about different subjects as the Wright brothers did.

【1】What was peopled attitude to the Wright brothers, flight in Paragraph 1?

A.They were eager to fly. B.They wondered its safety.

C.They were shocked at it. D.They doubted if it was true.

【2】Which of the following led to the brothers, success according to the passage?

A.Formal technical training. B.Research on birds' movement.

C.Math and science in college. D.Curiosity about finding the truth.

【3】What does the passage encourage today's schools to do?

A.To abandon academic requirements on learning.

B.To encourage students to be artists and engineers.

C.To broaden students’ knowledge about the Wright brothers.

D.To be supportive to students' curiosity on different courses.

28、Four Interesting Science Museums

Polytechnic Museum, Russia

For many guests of the capital, some of the most vivid childhood memories are associated with this museum. A variety of technical fields are presented in 65 halls-Mining, Space, Energy, and Transportation, etc. And the exposition（博览会）is the only museum project in Russia about the history of the bike. The interactive division "Technoplay" is open, where you not only can but also need touch most of the exhibits with your hands. In addition to self-experimentation, for personal requests the museum's experts will show many entertaining experiments.

Eureka, England

The Eureka educational center is a huge complex where modern science and technology are becoming clear, even to kids. The main exhibition is devoted to the human body, the laws of physics and natural things. Visitors can obtain energy or create paper with their own hands. On the area of the Eureka educational park there is a botanical garden and a collection of minerals from the rock types of Finland is presented there.

Deutsches Museum, Germany

In this museum you can see more than 100 thousand different items from windmills（风车）to medical equipment. All aspects of industrial production appear before the eyes. Several museum rooms are arranged especially for children-there are exhibits that entertain kids starting from three.

NEMO, the Netherlands

The largest Dutch research centre stands ready to share its secrets with everyone. This immersion（沉浸）in the world of science and technology will not be dull. All significant information is presented in the form of exciting games. All exhibits are interactive; visitors are allowed to touch, pull and press on anything.

29、   As artificial intelligence(AI) systems become more advanced, we can expect them to be used more often in the world of human medicine and health care.

The Georgia Medical Union gives money to the AI project as a part of its Future Health 2025 program, the aim of which is to get great ideas from the lab to the market and support world healthcare and the aging problem.

Georgia Institute of Technology built an experimental robot called PR2 that is capable of abstracting knowledge and developing their own experience to share with other AIs. PR2 can gather information about patient’s information in a big room in hospital.

PR3 is the second robot model that can collect data.PR3 is trained on large data sets gathered from real-life cases. People are sharing more and more of their health data through apps on mobile and wearable devices.PR3 will gather and share all the data with the experimental robot.

Moving around between the PR2 and the PR3, PR4 is an AI Robot which can also be put to work in hospitals to help doctors and nurses spend more time with their patients. Moxi is a robot assistant that helps staff by completing general tasks such as delivering lab samples, collecting laundry or gathering medical supplies.

Together, the robots can make a working group, like a group of bees going about their jobs, or birds moving together as one in the sky. As they work together ,they appear to be learning themselves in the same way living things do.

One problem the researchers had in the beginning was how the robots would communicate with each other. The robot cannot exchange information without WI-FI and GPS equipment does not work with different floors. These robots can work in short distance well. The electric field the robots send out lets them sense what is near them and react to it.

The acceptance of AI in medicine will continue to gather pace in the future as it becomes more widespread.

【1】What is the aim of the Future Health 2025 program?

A.To develop the experimental robot. B.To detect health problems.

C.To improve new technology in medicine. D.To collect data of the people.

【2】What do we know about robot PR4?

A.It is a good assistant for doctors and nurses. B.It can move as PR2 and PR3.

C.It can wash the clothes for patients. D.It is the most advanced scientific equipment.

【3】What do the robots and bees have in common?

A.They unite to finish the experiment. B.They move freely like human beings.

C.They depend on each other all the time. D.They work as a team to do their individual job.

【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?

A.AI Becomes More Widespread B.Future Health 2025 Program

C.Robots and Bees in Hospital D.Artificial Intelligence in Medicine

30、Crowdfunding (众筹) campaigns to help people with cancer pay for ineffective alternative treatments are becoming more common. They often come with six-figure targets to meet the cost of debatable therapies. ________, headlines are almost guaranteed.

The BMJ (British Medical Journal) reports ________ over this, based on information I gathered working for the charity Good Thinking. By sorting fundraising sites like JustGiving and GoFundMe, I identified appeals from people in the UK who sought money for unproven or disproven treatments, finding 400 in the past three years. Those have raised £7 million, the money destined for ________clinics.

Although the treatments, such as extreme diets, aren’t backed by scientific evidence, people who are desperate and vulnerable are often ________by remarkable testimonials(证明书) provided by the clinics themselves. However, for those who see such stories in the media, and who care about following good scientific evidence, the natural reaction is to try to ________people from possible physical, emotional and financial harm.

________ these appeals isn’t easy. People with cancer often view these therapies as ________, and their supporters don’t want to consider that their efforts to help may cause harm.

However, journalists must review the role they play in promoting the ________. Their influence is powerful. As I sorted through appeals and the heartbreaking stories of desperately ill people, I was ________ by just how many cited success stories they had read in newspapers as their reason for trusting questionable treatments.

Most concerning of all were the frequent cases where someone had died—sometimes just months after eye-catching ________of their treatment. While the uplifting story of a community helping fund someone’s “cure” is attractive, the subsequent reality when that hope proves fruitless seems far less ________.

This leaves the public with a ________ view of the effectiveness of such treatments, and serves as an advertising tool for clinics which, under UK law, wouldn’t be able to directly promote their therapies.

If journalists wish to avoid promoting ineffective treatments, they would do well to view such stories not just as human-interest ones, but as ________ and health stories. This means ________the evidence behind treatments, seeking expert opinion on their efficacy, and choosing not to run stories that fail such a careful examination.

I’m certain no journalist would want their work to be used as a recruitment tool for therapists whose treatments offer nothing but heartbreak and false hope, yet until reports of miraculous cancer cures in questionable clinics are approached with an appropriate level of skepticism(怀疑), I fear such places will continue to ________.

A tiger at the Bronx Zoo in New York City has tested positive for the respiratory disease caused by the novel coronavirus, becoming the first known case of human-animal 【1】, the zoo's chief veterinarian said on Sunday.

Nadia, the 4-year-old Malayan tiger that tested positive, was 【2】 for the COVID-19 disease after 【3】 a dry cough along with three other tigers and three lions, the Wildlife Conservation Society, which manages the zoo, said in a statement.

Calle said they did not know which employee infected the tiger. "This is the first time that we have discovered that a person infects the animal and the animal gets sick," Calle said, adding that they planned to share the findings with other zoos and institutions. " I guess 【5】 we will all have a better understanding as a result.

Cell phones are used everywhere, but on the road they are a dangerous distraction (分心) to drivers and should be forbidden.

The New England Journal of Medicine reported that "drivers using a cell phone were four times more likely to have an accident than those not using a phone." The major problem is that the driver is not focused on the road, but on his or her conversation. Cell phone drivers are very unpredictable: they drive too fast or too slow, make improper turns, run red lights and even stop at green ones. It's not only annoying; it's dangerous. Accidents related to cell phones include off a road and crashing into a tree, fences, and buildings and even turning over.

In October at the California Traffic Safety Summit, experts showed that "cell phones used by drivers lead to at least 1,000 deaths per year in California." These are the same problems that occur with drunk driving, which is against the law and strictly enforced. For the same reasons, California needs laws that ban the use of cell phone in cars.

Until we take action to pass new laws, drivers at least need to be more responsible when using cell phones. The American Automobile Association recommends that drivers pull off the road before using a cell phone, have a passenger use it for them, or use voice mail to answer calls. Another suggestion is to keep the phone off while moving or simply not to use it in the car. Before using a cell phone, drivers should ask themselves, "Is this call really that important?"

Cell phones can be a very important link in emergencies, but drivers need to use them wisely. As professional NASCAR racer John Andretti says, "Driving safely is your first responsibility." The best road to safety is to just hang up and drive.

40、阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要

Paperless office was first coined in 1975. Four decades later, we’re still chasing the paperless office dream. Take the financial industry for example—it is one of the slower industries to hug digital transformation. Many financial institutions today still send out trade conformations by mail. I can tell you from first-hand experience that going paperless is by no means impossible. The Centric Digital office is a paperless work environment where all the office operations go digital, which has amazed our business partners.

Actually companies need to stress the benefits of a digital culture for communications. Going paperless can save time and money. You could say goodbye to costly repairs, office supply orders, wasted employee time and so on. Besides, forbidding paper in the office forces information to be 100% digital, where you can make endless amounts of backups (备份), which easily increase transparency(透明). Not to mention, top talents want to work for digital companies.

You might think the secret to a paperless company is purely technology. Well, not really. Thanks to products like iPads, smart-phones and cloud services, the ability to go paperless is highly accessible. Yet, even with all this technology, companies continue to rely on paper. It's not because they don’t have access to the technology, but because they’re lacking the politics, organizational structure and strong desire to change. In order to go paperless, companies need to change the way they think and operate. The decision needs to be made and cried out and everyone needs to work together to make it.

Yes, the paperless office has been a very long time in the making but it no longer has to be. With numerous amounts of software, services, apps and technology available today, the only thing we need to do is to make the decision to go paperless and see it through.
