26、If you’ve been in public in the past year or so, chances are you’ve noticed someone breaking dining etiquette (礼仪) that would seem second-nature to any adult. Why does our dining etiquette seem to be at the lowest point of all time right now?

“Overall, there is much less feeling about the common good, which means caring about your neighbor—whether at home or in a restaurant,” said Steven, who writes articles for USA Today.

Take the use of cellphone at the table for example. While a 2015 survey by the Pew Research Center found that 38 percent of those surveyed thought it was acceptable to use their phones while dining out, the increasing number of cellphone bans in restaurants shows that restaurants aren’t putting up with it.

However, some see the growing use of cellphones as a sign that manners change alongside our society.

“Manners change,” said the writer behind a food site The Takeout. “What we consider improper isn’t set in stone.” She points out the other “rules” that have since become outdated nowadays, like saying “Sir” and “Ma’am” as proof of this change.

Yes, traditional manners are yet another thing being redefined by youth. “Younger people are growing up in a world with more flexible rules, and this spreads to the dining table,” said Daniel Levine, director of global trends consultancy The Avant－Guide Institute.

Whether you prefer high-end restaurants or a fast-casual meal, the biggest reason behind the decline of manners may just be a numbers game.

“I believe it is more likely for people to break dining ‘rules’ because they go out and eat more often,” said Diane Gottsman, owner of The Protocol School of Texas. “Years ago, people stayed home and sat around the family table. Today, there are more people in the workforce, which makes it more affordable for socializing and eating out. With new chance comes the possibility for more dining problems.”

【1】What did the 2015 survey find?

A．Many people accepted using phones at the table.

B．Cellphones were banned in most restaurants.

C．Most of the surveyed people used phones while eating out.

D．Few restaurants show concern about using phones while eating.

【2】Why was the example of “Sir” and “Ma’am” mentioned?

A．To show modern people are becoming impolite.

B．To explain dining rules in high-end restaurants.

C．To prove dining etiquette changes through time.

D．To argue young people are making dining rules today.

【3】According to Diane Gottsman, people forget their dining manners more often because ________.

A．they think they are unimportant

B．they grew up with flexible rules

C．they have more chances to eat out

D．they must hurry meals to get back to work

【4】What’s the author’s purpose in writing this text?

A．To introduce changes in dining manners.

B．To encourage people to have dining manners.

C．To report survey findings on dining manners.

D．To discuss the reasons for poor dining manners

27、Scientists at the University of Oxford have developed new artificial intelligence (AI) software to recognize and follow up the faces of individual chimpanzees (黑猩猩) in the wild. The new software will allow researcher and wildlife conservationists to greatly cut back on time spent analyzing videos, according to the new paper published today in Science Advances.

“For species like chimpanzees, which have complex social lives and live for many years, getting photos of their behavior from short-term field research can only tell us so much.” says Dan Sehofield, researcher and DPhil student at Oxford University’s Primate Models Lab, School of Anthropology. “By taking advantage of the power of machine learning to unlock large video files, it makes it possible to measure behavior over the long term.”

The computers model was trained using over 10 million images (影像) from Kyoto University’s Primate Research Institute (PRI) video files of wild chimpanzees in Guinea, West Africa. The new software is the first to continuously track and recognize individuals in a wide range of posed, performing with high accuracy in difficult conditions such as low lighting and poor image quality.

“Access to this large video file has allowed us to use the newest deep neural networks to train models at a scale that was previously not possible,” says Arsha Nagrani, co-author of the study and DPhil student at the Department of Engineering Science, University of Oxford. “Additionally, our new software differs from previous primate face recognition software in that it can be applied to raw videos with limited manual intervention (人工干预) or pre-processing, saving hours of time.”

The technology has potential for many uses, such as monitoring species for conservation. Although the present application focused on chimpanzees, the software provided could be applied to other species, and help drive the adoption of AI systems to solve a range of problems in the wildlife sciences.

【1】What’s the purpose of developing the new software?

A．To save wildlife researchers’ time spent in the wild.

B．To keep track of wildlife conservationists’ behavior.

C．To protect chimpanzees and help them to live longer.

D．To recognize and track the faces of wild chimpanzees.

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

A．Getting photos.

B．Analyzing videos.

C．The new AI software.

D．A powerful machine.

【3】What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about?

A．The unique advantages of the new software.

B．Some limitations of using the new software.

C．The working principles of the new software.

D．Controversial attitudes to the new software.

【4】What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A．The new software has a quite bright future.

B．The application of the technology can be tough.

C．Technology is the final goal of scientific research.

D．AI systems are widely used in the wildlife sciences.

28、   Are you at least 17 years old? Do you weigh more than 110 pounds? Do you consider yourself fairly healthy?

If you answered yes to all of these questions, you should be donating(捐赠) blood every two months. n my survey of my schoolmates, I found that only 50 percent of them have ever donated blood and that only 1 out of 13 of them donate regularly. The lack of blood donors is a serious problem that requires immediate action.

According to the American Red Cross Web pages, in the United States alone someone receives a blood transfusion(输血) once every three seconds. People who benefit from donations include cancer patients as well as babies. The need for blood never takes a vacation and neither should donors.

Let me tell you about Brooke, a three-year-old girl with cancer. Brooke has spent about half of her life in the hospital receiving treatments. Her treatment will require about 500 units of blood in total, of which only 250 units have been replaced. She still needs the other half of the total amount to continue her treatment. If she doesn’t receive this blood, she will not live to start kindergarten.

Examples like Brooke’s are becoming all too common these days, with only 1 in 20 Americans donating blood and this number keeps dropping each year. These facts are extremely worrying considering that nearly half of us here will need blood sometime in our lives.

You can now see the seriousness of the problem with the lack of blood donations. Fortunately， it is a problem that can be easily solved. Each and every one of you can be part of the solution. All you have to do is go to the nearest Red Cross and donate your blood.

【1】How does the author explain the problem mentioned in Paragraph2?

A.By making comparisons. B.By answering questions.

C.By describing his own experiences. D.By presenting research findings.

【2】What can we learn from the American Red Cross Web pages?

A.The strong need for blood. B.The suffering of patients.

C.The benefits of taking vacations D.The efforts of the Red Cross.

【3】The three-year-old girl Brooke .

A.can’t wait to start kindergarten

B.stays alive by receiving blood daily

C.doesn't get fair treatment in the hospital

D.will need another 250 units of blood

【4】What is the purpose of the text?

A.To present some new medical results. B.To persuade people to donate blood.

C.To explain the risks of blood donation. D.To call on people to save a little girl.

29、There was once a jar(广口瓶) of fresh, clean water. Every drop of water in the jar felt immensely proud of being so clean and pure. Day after day they would congratulate each other on how clean and beautiful they were. That was until one day when one of the drops got bored with his clean existence. He wanted to try what it was like being a dirty drop.

The other drops tried to talk to him out of it, but he stuck to his guns. Hardly realizing, when the drop came back all dirty, he turned all the other drops in the jar into dirty drops, too.

They tried to get clean again, but they couldn’t. They tried everything to shake off the dirtiness. Finally, much later, someone dipped the jar in a fountain, and only when a lot of clean water entered the jar did the drops regain their old transparency and purity. Now they all know that if they all want to be nice clean drops, then each and every one of them has to stay clean, even if they find it difficult. That drop that succeeded in being dirty has realized that correcting the mistake of one single drop needs a lot of work for everyone else.

The same happens to us and our friends. If we want to live in a jar of clean water, each of us will have to be a clean drop. How about you? What are you? A clean drop?

Note that there is one word more than you need.

A Bad Idea

Think you can walk, dive, take phone calls, e-mail and listen to music at the same time? Well, New York's new law says you can't. And you'll be 【1】 $S100 if you do it on a New York City street.

The law went into force last month, following research and a(n) 【2】number of accidents that involved people using electronic gadgets when crossing the street.

Who's to【3】 ? Scientists say that our multitasking abilities are limited.

"We are under the impression that our brain can do more than it often can," says Rene Marois, a neuroscientist in Tennessee. “But a major limitation is the inability to【4】on two things at once".

The young people are often considered the great multitaskers. However, an Oxford University research suggests this idea is open to question. A group of 18-to 21-year-olds and a group of 35-to 39-year-olds were given 90 seconds to translate【5】into numbers, using a simple code. The younger group did 10 percent better when not interrupted. But when both groups were interrupted by a phone call or a(n) 【6】message, the older group matched the younger group in speed and 【7】.

It is difficult to measure the productivity【8】by multitaskers. But it is probably a lot. Jonathan Spire, chief analyst at Basex. a business-research firm, estimates the cost of interruptions to the American economy at nearly $650 billion a year.

The【9】is based on surveys with office workers. The surveys conclude that 28 percent of the workers' time was spent on interruptions and【10】time before they returned to their main tasks.

32、读后续写

One time, the teachers at a school wanted to teach the students about airplanes. While all airplanes can fly, some are able to fly farther than others. This is because not all airplanes are built the same. For example, a fighter plane looks very different from a plane that people fly in when they want to go on a holiday. The teachers wondered how they could make students understand this.

Then, the science teacher, Mr Moose, decided that the school should have a paper airplane contest. Every student would design a paper airplane. They would stand in a line in the playground behind the school. The students would take turns throwing their airplanes. The student whose airplane went the farthest would win.

When Mr Moose announced the paper airplane contest to the students, they were very excited. A student named Paul, who was on the school sports team, said to everyone else that his airplane would win. “I am the strongest,” Paul said. “So I will be able to throw my airplane the farthest.”

However, while Paul was saying this, another student, Brian, was thinking how he could win. Brian did not play any sports and was not very strong. But he loved airplanes and really wanted to win the contest.

Brian realized what he had to do. He went to the store and bought a big stack (叠) of paper. When he got home, he took the paper into his backyard. He took a piece of paper and folded an airplane. It didn’t go very far, so Brian took another piece and folded (折叠) another airplane and threw it. This airplane went a little farther. Brian kept folding different kinds of airplanes and throwing them. Some went very far and some did not. Finally, when Brian had used all the paper, he walked up to the airplane that had flown the farthest and picked it up.

The next day was the contest. All the students lined up. Everyone took turns. After a while, everyone had thrown except Paul and Brian. Paul went first. With a loud yell, he threw the airplane into the sky. It went farther than every other airplane. Everyone cheered.
