24、   I teach economics in a university three times a week. Last Monday, at the beginning of class, I asked my students how their weekend had been. One young man said that his weekend had not been so good. He had his wisdom teeth removed. Then he went on to ask me why I always seemed to be so cheerful.

His question reminded me of something I’d read somewhere before: Every morning when you get up, you have a choice about how you want to live that day. I said, “I choose to be cheerful.”

“Let me give you an example,” I continued. “Besides teaching here, I also teach at a college in Henderson, 17 miles down the freeway from where I live. One day a few weeks ago, I exited(离去) the freeway and turned onto College Drive. I only had to drive another quarter mile down the road to the college. But just then my car died. I tried to start it again, but the engine wouldn’t work. So I put my flashes on, took my books, and walked down the road to the college. As soon as I got there, I called AAA (汽车协会) and asked for a tow truck to meet me at my car after class. The secretary there asked me what had happened. “   Δ   .” I replied, smiling.

“Your car breaks down but it is not a bad day. What do you mean?”

“My car could have broken down anywhere along the freeway. It didn’t,” I replied. “Instead, it broke down at the perfect place: off the freeway, within walking distance of here. I’m still able to teach my class, and I’ve been able to ask for the tow truck to meet me after class! If my car was meant to break down today, it couldn’t have been arranged in a more convenient way.”

I ended my story. In spite of the early hour, no one in my class seemed to be asleep. Somehow, my story had touched them.

D. It is wonderful that my car breaks down.

25、We often praise the world of science. It explains the world and makes our lives easier with technology. One of the most exciting fields in science is artificial intelligence (人工智能，AI). This is an area where scientists are working on creating machines that think like humans.

However，one of the most famous scientists has a very dark warning for us about this type of technology.

“The development of full artificial intelligence could lead to the end of the human race,” said Professor Stephen Hawking to the BBC.

Hawking is a well-known British Physicist and writer of bestselling science book A Brief History of Time. This warning came from a serious disease called ALS; he needs an AI computer to communicate. The computer learns how Hawking thinks and suggests the words he may want to use next.

This is a basic type of AI, which is very useful, yet Hawking fears the possibility of creating technology that can match or go beyond human intelligence. And it’s easy to imagine how terrible things may be. Many TV shows and films display big, killer machines that are far cleverer than us. “Humans, who are limited by slow biological evolution(进化), couldn’t compete, ” said Hawking.

But not every scientist is pessimistic(悲观的)about AI technology. “I believe we will remain in charge of（掌控) the technology. “ The potential(潜力)of it to solve many of the world problems will be realized.” In what direction do you think AI is going? Should we be hopeful or fearful?

【1】Which of the following is TRUE about AI？

A. The technology is not very popular now.

B. Scientists haven’t controlled the technology.

C. It is now much smarter than humans.

D. It makes our lives easier.

【2】The writer took Hawking as an example to ____________.

A. explain how AI has helped us

B. show the great hidden use of AI

C. show AI has already become part of our life

D. suggest that AI become dangerous for humans

【3】What would be the best title for this passage?

A. AI: a friend or an enemy?

B. The development of AI

C. The future of human beings

D. The fight between humans and AI

27、   When your doctor asks how often you exercise, do you give her an honest answer? How about when she asks what you’ve been eating lately? If you’ve ever stretched (夸大) the truth, you’re not alone.

Sixty to eighty percent of people surveyed have not told their doctors about some information that could be relevant (相关的) to their health, according to a new study. Besides fibbing (小谎) about diet and exercise, more than a third of respondents (受访者) didn’t speak up when they disagreed with their doctor’s suggestions. More often than not, they fail to admit they didn’t understand their doctor’s instructions.

When respondents explained why they weren’t transparent (坦诚直言的), most said that they wanted to avoid being judged, and didn’t want to be lectured about how bad certain behaviors were. More than half were simply too embarrassed to tell the truth. Most people want their doctor to think highly of them, says the study’s senior author Angela Fagerlin, Ph. D.. “They re worried about being thought as someone who doesn’t make good decisions,” she adds.

Scientists at University of Utah led the research study together with colleagues at University of Michigan and University of Iowa. The results will be published online in JAMA Network Open on November 30, 2018.

Insights (深入了解; 洞察) into the doctor- patient relationship came from a national online survey of two populations. One survey got responses from 2,011 participants (参加者) who averaged 36 years old. The second included 2,499 participants who were 61 on average.

“I’m surprised that such a large number of people chose to withhold (隐瞒) relatively benign (相对无害) information, and that they would admit to it, says the study’s first author Andrea Gurmankin Levy, Ph. D.. The trouble with a patient’s dishonesty is that doctors can’t offer accurate medical advice when they don’t have all the facts. “If patients are withholding information about what they’re eating, or whether they are taking their medication, it can have influences for their health, especially if they have a chronic (慢性的) illness,” says Levy.

【1】What can be inferred from the passage?

A. Patients always lie to their doctors.

B. 60 to 80 percent of the patients can’t understand their doctor’s instructions.

C. Most respondents disliked being judge.

D. Fibbing can’t have bad influences for patients’ health.

【2】What does the underlined word it in the last paragraph refer to?

A. Relatively benign information.

B. Withholding relatively benign information.

C. A large number of people chose to withhold relatively benign information.

D. The trouble with a patient’s dishonesty.

【3】Which of the following statements is NOT true?

A. There were 3 universities doing the research study together.

B. Over a third of respondents didn’t show their disagreement with their doctor’s suggestions.

C. Some patients often choose to tell fibs when facing doctors.

D. Levy believed most people want their doctor to think highly of them.

【4】What is the meaning of the word “accurate” in the last paragraph?

A. professional B. effective C. available D. exact

28、阅读下面短文,根据短文内容及首字母提示补全文中所缺的单词。

Almost every day, we discuss the topic of health. But what is health?

“Health” means eating well, getting e【1】exercise and having a healthy lifestyle. Here a【2】 some useful rules.

Ronny’s Book

Ronny looked like every other kid in the first-grade classroom where I volunteered as the Reading Mom. However, Ronny was different from his classmates in other ways. He had a speech problem so he couldn’t   like other kids in his grade.

 I worked with all the students in Ronny’s class one by one to improve their reading skills. On the days when it was Ronny’s   , I’d give him a silent smile, and he’d fly out of his chair. He sat very close to me and opened the book he was opening a treasure nobody had ever seen.

 I watched his fingers move slowly under each letter as he struggled (努力) to read out. Every time he    to read a word with a strange pronunciation, the biggest smile would spread across his face and his eyes would shine with   . It broke my heart each and every time.

  A few weeks the school year ended, I held an awards ceremony (颁奖典礼). I Ronny with a book — one of those Little Golden Books that only cost $5. Tears (眼泪）ran down his face as he held the book close to him and went   to his seat. I stayed with the class for the rest of the day. Ronny never let go of (放开) the   , not once. It never left his hands.

 A few days later, I returned to the school to visit. I   Ronny on a chair near the playground, the book open in his lap. His teacher said, “ He hasn’t put that book down since you gave it to him. Do you know that’s his   book he’s ever actually owned?”

 Keeping back my tears, I walked towards Ronny, placed my hand on his shoulder and asked, “Will you read me your book, Ronny?” And then, for the next few minutes, he read to me more   than I’d ever thought possible from him. The pages were already dog-eared (卷角的), like the book had been read thousands of   already. When he finished reading, Ronny closed his book and said with great satisfaction, “ book!"

 What a powerful contribution the writer of that Little Golden Book had made in the life of a disadvantaged child. At that moment, I knew I would get   about my own writing and do what that writer had done, and probably still does — care enough to write a story that changes a child’s life, care enough to make a difference.
