24、  

After people have been used to their new work situation. But what if your job was to control a multi-billion-dollar space rover (探测车) located on a planet nearly 200 million km away from Earth?

A team of NASA scientists is doing just that. In order to follow social distancing rules, these scientists have had to work from home. But they’ve still found ways to work together and take care of the complex (复杂的) tasks that are needed to keep the Curiosity rover working on Mars.

Their work-from-home setups (装配) as seen in photos provided to CNBC and ScienceAlert, look much like home office setups. They use ordinary computers. But instead of working on spreadsheets (电子制表), these scientists are programming complex sequences (序列) of instructions that are then sent to the rover. These instructions allowed the rover to find a rock sample (样本) in a location on Mars called “Edinburgh”.

Usually, the team’s 20 scientists work together by communicating through apps or video meetings. One scientist might have to follow 15 message channels (通道) at once.

NASA gave the scientists headsets (耳机) monitors and other equipment to allow them to do their jobs from home. However, the goggles (眼镜) they usually use to analyze (分析) pictures from Mars could not be sent out. So they have to depend on red-and-blue glass lenses (镜片) instead.

But difficulties like these have not been a problem for the scientists. In fact, getting used to changing situations is “classic, textbook NASA,” according to the head of science operations Carrie Bridge. “We’re presented with a problem and we find out how to make things work. Mars isn’t standing still for us; we’re still exploring,” she said.

【1】During the outbreak, NASA scientists ________.

A.use different computers to work

B.work on spreadsheets

C.are making Curiosity rover work from home

【2】Working at home is not convenient for NASA scientists because ________.

A.they have to use red-and-blue glass lenses

B.they cannot communicate person to person

C.they don’t have the equipment to do their jobs

【3】Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the article?

A.Mars is nearly 200 million km away from Earth.

B.One scientist might have to contact with several other scientists at the same time.

C.NASA scientists can’t work together.

【4】How do we understand “classic, textbook NASA” in the last paragraph?

A.NASA wrote a textbook on how to deal with problems.

B.NASA always finds ways to deal with new situations.

C.Difficulties are uncommon for NASA.

【5】What is the story mainly about?

A.NASA’s project on Mars.

B.The problems NASA faces.

C.How NASA scientists work at home.

25、Artificial intelligence(人工智能), or AI in short, is the science of giving computers and machines ability to think and work like humans. AI scientists and engineers have made a lot of cool technologies.

AI is rapidly catching up with the human ability to read faces. As a result, facial recognition(识别) is used a lot in the world. Chinese police use this technology to identify criminals(罪犯). Once they caught a criminal when he attended a concert. It also checks the ID of ride-hailing(网约车) drivers and lets people pay for things with a smile.

AI is also used in self-driving cars, which are believed to be the future of driving. Most drivers may wave or nod at passers-by to let them cross the street, but self-driving cars don't have this ability. Carmakers are testing a light signal system to help them "speak" to humans. The system can show what self-driving cars will do. For example, if a driverless car is yielding(让路), it will flash two white lights side to side. A rapidly flashing light tells passers-by that the car is about to speed up.

Service Robots also show you how powerful AI is. Imagine this—you come back home from school and your robot housekeeper is waiting for you at the door. After dinner, he teaches you to play the piano, just like a real music teacher. Such thoughts will soon happen in the real world. In the future, more and more service robots will become good home helpers.

AI is so powerful that it can help human beings and even replace us in many jobs.

【1】What does the underlined word "identify" in Paragraph 2 probably mean?

A．To let somebody know his mistakes.

B．To come to realize and tell who is who.

C．To take somebody to the police station.

D．To inform somebody of something important.

【2】According to the passage, what is facial recognition used for?

A．Driving cars.

B．Making people smile.

C．Calling the police.

D．Checking people's information.

【3】Which technology has been used in real life according to the passage?

A．Service Robots at school.

B．Robots as ride-hailing drivers.

C．Facial recognition for payment.

D．Light signals for self-driving cars.

【4】What can we learn from the passage?

A．People use AI in many different ways.

B．AI will take the place of human beings in all jobs.

C．Self-driving cars will be able to talk like humans.

D．A criminal was caught for inventing facial recognition.

26、As a child, I was really afraid of the dark and of getting lost. These fears were very real and caused me some uncomfortable moments. Maybe it was the strange way things looked and sounded in my own room at night that scared me so much. There was never complete darkness, but always a streetlight or passing car lights, which made clothes on the back of a chair take on the shape of a wild animal. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw the curtains(窗帘) seem to move when there was no wind. A very low sound in the floor would seem a hundred times louder than in the day. My imagination (想象) would run wild, and my heart would beat fast. I would lie very still so that the "enemy(敌人) " would not discover me.

Another of my childhood fears was that I would get lost, especially on the way home from school. Every morning I got on the school bus right near my home. That was no problem. After school, though, when all the buses were lined up along the street, I was afraid that I would get in the wrong one and be taken to some other strange places. On school or family trips to a park or a museum, I wouldn't let the leaders out of my sight.

Perhaps one of the worst fears of all I had as a child was that of not being liked or accepted by others. Being popular was so important to me then, and the fear of not being liked was a serious one. One of the processes(过程) growing up is being able to realize and overcome our fears. Understanding the things that scared us as children helps us achieve greater success later in life.

【1】The author had _________kind(s) of fears when she was a child.

A. one B. two C. three   D. none

【2】_________ would scare the author at night.

A. Streetlight and car lights

B. Wild animals and enemies

C. Moving curtains and wind

D. Strange sights and sounds

【3】When she went to some other places, she would _________.

A. walk away without others

B. take a bus by herself

C. follow others closely

D. make sure not to take a wrong bus

【4】Which of the following would be possibly true when she was a child?

A. She was usually popular among people.

B. She was always the leader of the others.

C. She always' got poor grades.

D. She was not at all liked by others.

27、After years of studying human nature, I have found something interesting. Whether you are a successful person or an common person depends on two things—curiosity (好奇心) and discontent (不满足). I have never known a successful man who is short of either. And I have never known an ordinary man who had both. The two belong together.

“The great man.” said Mencius (孟子), “is the person who does not lose the innocent heart of a child.” But most of us lose it. We stop asking questions. We stop challenging things. We just follow the crowd. Luckily, curiosity and discontent don’t have to be learned. We are born with them and only need to keep them awake. How should you start? I think of one friend who couldn’t grow flowers well enough to satisfy herself. She was curious about how the experts did it. Now she is one of the experts, writing books on flower growing.

▲ You don’t have any special ability? Most people don’t. You don’t have any time? That’s good because things are always done by the people with no time. Harriet Stowe, mother of six, wrote parts of Uncle Tom’s Cabin while cooking. You’re too old? Remember that Thomas Costain was 57 when he published his first novel, and that Grandma Moses showed her first pictures when she was 78.

However you start, remember there is no better time to start than right now, because you’ll never be more alive than you are at this moment.

【1】At the beginning of the passage, the writer leads in the topic by ________.

A．showing a fact

B．giving an example

C．telling a story

D．asking a question

【2】What does the underlined sentence mean in Paragraph 2?

A．君子莫大乎与人为善。

B．得道者多助，失道者寡助。

C．穷则独善其身，达则兼具天下。

D．大人者，不失其赤子之心者也。

【3】In Paragraph 2, the writer’s friend became an expert probably because ________.

A．she was very curious about the lives of flower-growing experts

B．she wrote many books on flower growing and became famous

C．she kept learning and found the right ways to grow flowers

D．she was better at writing books instead of growing flowers

【4】Which of the following can be put in ▲ ?

A．There are so many problems in getting started.

B．I advise you to think twice before you start.

C．It’s unnecessary to doubt yourself before you start.

D．Most of us are just ordinary people in the world.
