Even if your phone is out of reach, you may want to get up and check it when you hear it. Turn your phone on airplane mode. 【3】

27、   JERUSALEM—Israel’s Environmental Protection Ministry asked citizens Wednesday to avoid unnecessary physical activity and stay indoors, as a serious sandstorm struck the Middle East in a thick yellow haze (霾) for a second day with no hope to see things clearly.

The ministry said heavy levels of dust and sand in the air were a threat to cities throughout the country. The ministry’s website advised pregnant women, the elderly and those with heart and respiratory (呼吸的) conditions to stay indoors, and asked schools to keep children indoors.

The emergency service Magen David Adom reported that it has treated more than 300 Israelis suffering from breathing problems, and that hospitals have more respiratory-related patients, including a large number of the elderly and those with asthma and related conditions.

The domestic Israeli airlines Arkia and Israir continued to ground their flights to Eilat because of reduced visibility.

The sandstorm has affected Egypt, Jordan, Iraq, Lebanon and Syria, where at least five deaths have been reported.

“There has been nothing that came close to the magnitude of this sandstorm,” said Daniel Rosenfeld, a professor with the Institute of Earth Sciences at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem.

“While Israel has experienced a number of sandstorms in the past, they started from the Sinai Desert and the Sahara Desert to the south and were joined by winter windstorms that cleared the air,” he said. In this case, the storm comes from Syria and Iraq to the north and east.

Because the storm is hitting during the summer, at a time of both little wind and severe heat and humidity, forecasters expect the particles to remain in the air throughout the weekend and possibly into next week.

“This is really puzzling,” said Rosenfeld, adding that he and his colleague will conduct research into the origins of the unprecedented (前所未有的) storm. (326 words)

【1】What’s the probable meaning of the underlined word “ground” in Paragraph 4?

A. add B. reduce

C. cancel D. fuel

【2】It can be learned from the text that the sandstorm ________.

A. happened in winter B. showed no sign of weakening

C. came from Syria and Iraq to the south D. could clear the air

【3】How did Rosenfeld feel about the origins of the storm?

A. confused B. upset

C. confident D. happy

【4】Where does the text probably come from?

A. a novel B. a news story

C. a geography book D. a travel guide

28、Siri is an artificial intelligence (AI) that you can carry around in the pocket, where it waits patiently to be told what to do. In the week we spend together, my AI assistant has performed admirably in finding me restaurants, or the location of the nearest coffee shop.

A typical command might be: “Reserve a table for two at a good French restaurant in San Francisco.” Siri responds by presenting a list of top-rated restaurants that can be booked on OpenTable.com. If you say which time you want, it can book you a table without your lifting a finger. In some ways Siri is just a fancy program to the 35 websites it can connect to, from taxi booking websites to movie review databases (数据库). But what’s new is the way it can analyze the intentions of its users and use those sites to put them into action.

Siri attaches possibilities to the explanation of each word and compare your location with other data, some of which you must provide yourself. To send email reminders, Siri obviously needs to know your email address. To “find me the flower shop closest to work”, it needs to know where you work. To pay bills or buy airline tickets, it would need to be linked to your credit card.

That raises the question of how far we are willing to trust a piece of software that can go and do things for us based on what it “thinks” we mean. Siri may be simple, and always shows its explanation of a command before carrying it out. But it gives users a preview of a new balance between privacy, trust and convenience that the expansion of AI into everyday life is likely to develop.

【1】What is Siri?

A．A digital e-book reader.

B．A music-sharing software.

C．A voice-controlled website.

D．An artificial intelligence software.

【2】When asked “do I need my umbrella today”, what will Siri probably respond with?

A．The list of umbrella shops.

B．The local weather forecast.

C．The list of umbrella makers.

D．The local climate conditions.

【3】Siri is new in that it has the ability ________.

A．to connect a lot of websites

B．to understand what you speak

C．to give a variety of commands

D．to create computerized database

【4】What question does Paragraph 4 answer?

A．Can I trust you, Siri?

B．Will Siri be popular?

C．Is Siri simple for use?

D．Does Siri think itself?

29、   Change is scary. 【1】 It can go hand in hand with the fear that we might hurt someone else if we think about ourselves. The truth is that you're so much more courageous than you give yourself credit for and far stronger than you realize. Here are some ways that you can use to help yourself make the process of creating change more manageable.

Make change into small bite size pieces. 【2】Remember that as long as you attempt to take regular practice towards your goal, such as eating more healthily every day, or walking twenty minutes a day, you' re heading in the right direction to make changes.

Form a habit of keeping a diary every day. Writing a journal every night before going to bed can effectively help you cope with the emotional impact of the change process. Go to grab a pen or pencil and remember a journal is not for being neat and tidy with good spelling. 【3】

Rest is necessary to success. Have a rest and take timeout to build your energy. 【4】If we don't give ourselves time to rest, we just end up burning out by the constant striving and worry. As we don't have the energy to keep going, we have to give up!

【5】Just accept it! I'm sorry to say that unless some people are really secure in themselves and truly happy in their own life, they're never going to like your changes. This has nothing to do with whether they love you or not. They are just for self-preservation! Therefore, give them a little time to adjust and get used to it.

A.It is a step into the unknown.

B.It's not being lazy to have timeout.

C.No one else is going to like your changes.

D.Don't try to eat the elephant in one sitting.

E.Creating change is about building your character.

F.Keep repeating your big steps over and over again.

G.It's a private place where you can speak out your inner thoughts.

31、

The meaning of silence varies among cultural group. Silence may be 【1】, or they may be empty when a person has nothing to say. A silence in conversation may also show stubbornness, uneasiness, or worry. Silence may be viewed by some cultural groups as extremely uncomfortable; therefore attempts may be made to fill every 【2】 with conversation. Persons in other cultural groups value silence and view it as necessary for understanding a person’s needs. Many native Americans value silence and feel it is a basic part of 【3】 among people, just at some traditional Chinese and Thai persons do.

Other cultures may use silence in other ways, particularly when dealing with 【6】 among people or in relationships of people with different amounts of power. For example, Russian, French, and Spanish persons may use silence to show 【7】between parties about the topic under discussion. However, Mexicans may use silence when instructions are given by a person in authority（权威）rather than be rude to that person by arguing with him or her.

Nurses and other care-givers need to be aware of the 【8】 meanings of silence wen they come across the personal anxiety their patients may be experiencing.
