24、   It was the last day of the final examination(考试)in a college. On the steps of building, a group of engineering students were waiting for the last exam. On their faces was confidence(自信).

They knew the exam would be easy. The professor(教授) had said they could bring any books or notes during the test.

Right after they came into the classroom. The professor handed out the papers. There were only five questions on it.

Three hours passed. Then the professor began to collect the papers. The students no longer looked confident. On their faces was nervous expression. The professor watched the worried faces before him, and then asked. “How many of you have completed all five questions?” No hand was raised. “How many of you have answered four?” Still no hands. “Three? Two?” The students moved restlessly in their seats. “One, then? Certainly somebody has finished one.” But the class kept silent(沉默). The professor said, “That is exactly what I expected(期盼). I just want to make you know clearly that even though you have completed four years of engineering, there are still many things about the subject you don’t know. These questions you could not answer are common in everyday practice.” Then, smiling, he added, “You will all pass this course, your education has just begun.”

25、Do you have sleeping problems? Is it hard for you to remember or pay attention in class? Do you easily get angry? If your answer is yes, you may be under stress.

Stress is a normal physical response (反应) to things that make people feel worried. In China, 70 percent of the 2,000 students about to take the college or high school entrance examination are under high stress, according to a recent survey by Wuhan University of Hubei province.

Sometimes stress is good for people. It pushes people to do their best, like while getting ready before a big competition or exam. However, too much or long-term stress makes people feel a stress overload (负荷过多), and affects people’s health.

When you feel stressed, there are some ways you can deal with (处理) it. Learning to solve small problems in everyday life is helpful. It can help build confidence to move on to life’s bigger ones. Try saying positive things to yourself, like “I will do the best that I can,” or “I can manage this if I take one step at a time.” That encourages you to work toward your goal. It is also important to relax sometimes.

But if you are under high stress and can’t handle it by yourself, it is also good to ask parents or friends for help. Everyone has stress. Don’t be too shy to tell others that you are having a hard time. They may comfort you or give you some useful advice. You may feel better just from sharing your problems with them.

【1】You may be under stress if you are in the following situation EXCEPT___.

A. you get angry easily

B. you can’t get up in the morning.

C. you can’t pay attention in class.

【2】Who did a survey about stress in middle school students recently?

A. Wuhan University

B. Hubei University

C. Wuhan Technology University

【3】In what way is stress good for people?

A. it can keep people wake at night.

B. it makes people do well in exams.

C. it pushes people to do their best.

【4】How many ways of dealing with stress are discussed in the passage?

A.2   B. 3 C.4

【5】Why should we ask parents or friends for help if we are under high stress?

A. because they can solve our problems.

B. because they must give us useful advice.

C. because sharing our problems can make us feel better.

27、   “Life is speeding up. Everyone is getting unwell.”

This may sound like something someone would say today. But in fact, an unknown person who lived in Rome in 53 AD wrote it.

We all love new inventions. They are exciting, amazing and can even change our lives. But have all these developments really improved the quality of our lives?

Picture this. You’re rushing to finish your homework on the computer. Your mobile phone rings, a QQ message from your friend appears on the screen, the noise from the television is getting louder and louder. Suddenly the computer goes blank and you lose all your work. Now you have to stay up all night to get it done. How happy do you feel?

Inventions have speeded up our lives so much that they often leave up feeling stressed and tired. Why do you think people who live far away from noisy cities, who have no telephones, no cars, not even any electricity often seem to be happier? Perhaps because they live simpler lives.

One family in the UK went “back in time” to see what life was like without all the inventions we have today. The grandparents, with their daughter, and grandsons Benjamin, 10 and Thomas, 7, spent nine weeks in a 1940s house. They had no washing machine, microwave, computer or mobile phones.

The grandmother, Lyn, said, “The more things you have, the more difficult life becomes.” The boys said they fought less. Probably, they said, because there was less to fight over, such as their computer. Benjamin also noticed that his grandmother had changed from being a fashionable, beer-drinking granny, to one who cooked things.

A．have speeded up our lives

B．The family had some changes when they lived in a 1940s house.

C．An unknown Roman was sure that the quality of life would get better.

D．With the improvement of our lives, we often feel stressed and tired.

【3】The passage is mainly about ________ .

A．problems with technology

B．the importance of technology

C．changes happening to technology

D．improvements of our lives with technology

28、用所给单词的适当形式填空, 未提供单词的限填一词, 将答案写在答题卡上。

In the 21 st century, machines have learnt how to recognize our faces, read our handwriting and even translate text from one language to another. These technologies are all examples of artificial intelligence (AI). There is a simple reason why AI has developed so 【1】 (quick) in recent years: the Internet.

However, some people are worried 【2】 this new technology. For example, they are afraid that self-driving cars will cause accidents.

What will happen to the people 【4】 lose their jobs? And what will happen when machines start making 【5】   (decide) for us?

It is 【6】 (possible) to stop technological progress. Instead, governments around the world need to help people prepare for the future.

Everyone will also need to develop new skills and find ways of 【8】 (live) with AI. It is true that some jobs【9】 (disappear) as the technology improves, but some of them are boring or dangerous. If we learn how【10】 (use) AI correctly, our work and life will become more interesting and satisfying.
