26、   One of the most common questions I am asked is how people should move on from disappointing, challenging or unexpected situations. While there are many answers to this question, one thing that always stands out to me is the process of self­forgiveness. People often focus on learning to forgive others in life and sometimes we are almost blind to the possibility of forgiving ourselves.

It is absolutely natural to feel guilty, shameful and painful if you’ve hurt a loved one, argued with a co­worker or you are just not happy with yourself. Forgiveness is not about just “letting go” of those feelings, but dealing with them in a positive manner. As the saying goes, “It’s not the load that breaks you down; it’s the way you carry it.”

The simple act of moving forward can benefit you in the long run: Studies show that an inability to self­forgive can play a role in anxiety and disappointment.

So how to let go of your self­anger?

Accept responsibility for what you’ve done. In this stage, you want to move away from your excuses. Without accepting responsibility, any form of self­forgiveness will be negative.

Adopt a new way of thinking about the mistake. If you carry old bricks from your past experiences，you can only build the same house that fell apart in the first place. You are more likely to repeat a mistake if you don’t learn from it, and learning requires compassion(同情). When a child falls over, it is lifted up with love and compassion to try again. We must practice this with ourselves.

Take time to appreciate that you can overcome your guilt, self­blame and feelings of pain. Appreciate that you can make changes in your life to avoid similar experiences in the future. Appreciate that you can create a new way of living.

【1】What does the author want to show by mentioning the saying in Paragraph 2?

A.It’s important to let go of bad feelings.

B.It’s important to stay positive in our life.

C.It’s important to carry the load correctly.

D.It’s important to forgive ourselves in a positive way.

【2】What does the author think we should do when trying to forgive ourselves?

A.Be willing to accept responsibility. B.Find some excuses for our mistakes.

C.Just let go of negative feelings. D.Learn to have compassion.

【3】What does the author suggest we do in the last paragraph?

A.We should overcome our guilt. B.We should reduce feelings of pain.

C.We should appreciate our progress. D.We should create a new way of living.

【4】What would be the best title for the text?

A.Letting Go of Your Anger B.Learning to Forgive Yourself

C.Moving on from Unexpected Situations D.Knowing the Importance of Forgiveness

27、Ever called a movie theater to find out showtime? Or called a customer service center for help? Chances are you didn't speak to a human being. You probably gave commands to an Automated Speech Recognition (ASR) system. These types of systems are efficient money-saving tools that allow companies to address many customer concerns with minimum human intervention.

The technology for such a system has advanced greatly since its appearance in the 1950s. One significant recent achievement is the launching of virtual personal assistants (VPAs) on mobile phones. The most well-known of these is Apple’s iPhone VPA, Siri. If you tell Siri that you want to schedule lunch with a friend, “she” can set the appointment on your phone in seconds. The VPA can also hold a basic “conversation” with a sense of humor. However, it can only be set off when the human user speaks certain key phrases or words.

While the potential for communication between a human and a machine may seem exciting, this possibility concerns some people. Some experts worry about people’s attachment to these machines and fear that the art of successful human-to-human conversation will be undeveloped in younger generations. They worry that people won’t be able to display the right emotion or tone in conversations because they haven’t been practicing those skills. Others fear that machines will take over functions that were traditionally performed by humans, such as customer service.

Another concern often associated with the development of new technology is the invasion of privacy. When people use certain speech recognition applications, they leave behind an audio track of their speech. When you ask a VPA for directions, your speech is often sent and saved to a remote server for processing. This digital information may lead to data mining, or the collection of large quantities of personal data.

For now, however, the continuing evolution of ASR software is thrilling to behold. Asking for and acquiring information from an automated source has never been easier. Leading companies in the speech recognition world will make human communication with machines as seamless as possible - in other words, just like communicating with another human.

【1】What can we say about Apple’s Siri?

A．It’s a helpful VPA.

B．It first appeared in the 1950s.

C．It’s the most advanced ASR system.

D．It has the same sense of humor as humans.

【2】What are Paragraphs 3 and 4 mainly about?

A．The broad definition of ASR.

B．Potential problems with ASR.

C．The fast development of ASR.

D．Movements against using ASR.

【3】What is the author's attitude towards the future of ASR?

A．Worried.

B．Doubtful.

C．Hopeful.

D．Indifferent.

【4】What is the best title for the text?

A．Talking to Technology

B．The Application of Siri

C．The Art of Conversation

D．VPAs on Mobile Phones

28、   Is dark chocolate healthy? Yes，dark chocolate has compounds (化合物)that offer health benefits and can be enjoyed without guilt，even on a daily basis.But the amount matters，since too many bites can contribute to extra fat，sugar and calories and get rid of its health benefits.

Dark chocolate is rich in cocoa，which contains compounds known as flavanols(黄烷醇)．At high levels，cocoa flavanols have been shown to help lower blood pressure and the risk of diabetes. Dark chocolate has the highest amount of cocoa flavanols：milk chocolate has lens，and white chocolate has none.

But while cocoa flavanols in dark chocolate make it a healthful treat，they give it a biter flavor. Producers may process chocolate to make it more delicious，but doing so can remove some of these beneficial compounds，said Matt Hartings，an American professor. In spite of this，dark chocolate is still a healthier choice than milk chocolate，which tends to have more sugar. Additionally，cocoa powder contains minerals. So you can enjoy a piece of dark chocolate even after a meal. Just keep the following in mind.

First ，buy chocolate that has at least 60% cocoa.“Generally speaking，the higher the percentage，the more flavanols. These higherpercentage chocolates have the added benefit over the lower percentages and milk and white chocolates because they contain less sugar and less fat，” Hartings said.

Second，if possible，choose natural cocoa over Dutch processed cocoa，which is treated with an alkali (碱)．This gives chocolate a milder flavor but removes healthful flavanols.

And finally，to keep weight in check，limit to 30 grams of dark chocolate daily，or about 150 calories，

【1】Dark chocolate is healthy mainly because of the existence of ．

A.rich minerals B.less sugar

C.cocoa flavanols D.fewer calories

【2】What does the underlined word “treat” in Paragraph 3 mean?

A.Something enjoyable.

B.A salt­free diet.

C.Food paid by others.

D.A cure for an illness.

【3】What can we learn from the text?

A.Cocoa flavanols leads to high blood pressure.

B.White chocolate is good for health.

C.One can feel free to eat dark chocolate.

D.Alkali can affect flavanols' content.

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

A.To show his love for dark chocolate.

B.To promote the sales of chocolate.

C.To provide facts about dark chocolate.

D.To make a distinction among chocolates.

29、   No video games are allowed after 10 pm. It is not allowed to play games for more than 90 minutes on non-holidays. No more than 400 yuan per month is allowed to buy virtual weapons and costumes.

The Chinese government has issued new regulations aimed at controlling teenager’s addiction to video games. Some officials believe that this problem is the reason why more and more young people are suffering from myopia (近视) and poor learning. The rules forbid users under the age of 18 from playing between 10 pm and 8 am. The rules demand that they shouldn’t play more than 90 minutes on non-holidays and more than 3 hours on weekends and other holidays.

Officials have taken stronger measures to monitor large technology companies and promote them to help spread the advocated cultural values. The official media regarded some games as “poisons” and banned some violent games. In addition, minors (未成年人) must use real names and ID numbers when they log into the game. These regulations also limit the a-mount of money that teenagers can use to purchase virtual items such as weapons, clothing, and pets through the app.

Analysts said that these regulations have been largely predicted by the industry and are unlikely to affect its earnings. However, young gamers may also find ways to bypass (绕开) the rules, such as using the parent’s phone number and ID number. “There will always be something imperfect,” said Daniel Ahmad, senior analyst at Niko Partners. However, he added that thanks to the regulations, China is now one of the most regulated video game markets in the world.

Yang Bingben is the owner of an industrial technology company. He noticed that his son often plays games that don’t require networking and is difficult to control. “We have something new to replace the games,” he said, “our thinking should be to build more stadiums, such as football stadiums and basketball courts.”

【1】The new regulations will help Chinese teenagers with their ________.

A.intelligence B.personalities

C.study and eyesight D.constitutions and morals

【2】What did Daniel Ahmad think of the regulations?

A.They are adjustable. B.They are effective.

C.They are creative. D.They are worthless.

【3】What can be inferred from Yang Bingben’s words?

A.Teenagers are spending more time in the stadiums.

B.Football and basketball will be popular with teenagers.

C.Getting rid of the addiction to video games is impossible.

D.Doing sports helps prevent teenagers playing video games.

【4】In which section of a newspaper can you read the text?

A.Literature. B.Education.

C.Fashion. D.Sport.

34、阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。

Smell the flowers before you go to sleep and you may just end up with rosy dreams. Have a whiff of rotten(腐烂的)eggs during the night and your dreams may be【1】(pleasant). So says researcher Dr. Boris Stuck, 【2】invited sleeping volunteers to a rose vs. rotten egg test in the University Hospital Mannheim in Germany. The subjects didn’t dream about roses【3】eggs, but rather he found that what they smelt affected the emotions of【4】(they) dreams.

And if you think【5】(smell) have a say in dreams, wait for what TV tells us. A UK study reveals that people exposed【6】black-and-white film and TV in their youth are to have monochromic(单色的)dreams throughout their life more【7】(probable). Eva Murzyn from the University of Dundee tested two age groups— one half 【8】(age) over 55 and【9】other half under 25.

The result? Under 5% of the dreams of the under-25s were in black and white. 【10】(watch)color TV in childhood seems to be the reason why.

35、Directions: Complete the following sentences by using the proper form of the words or expressions given in the frame. Each one can only be used once.

Why your Password May Not Be As Safe As It Seems?  Does “qaz2ws” strike you as a nice safe password? What about “adgjmptw”? An analysis has found them to be among the passwords that are most 【1】 used, which of course means they are not secure at all.

When ten million passwords were leaked on to the internet，they appeared to 【2】that attempts by internet security experts to make us improve our password strength had been successful, even if, in the specific case of the leaked passwords, they are also completely pointless.

While many of the passwords were still single words, such as “password”，there was also a clear attempt by many to make them harder to【3】. The problem was that people seemed to do so in the same way.

“Users are becoming slightly more 【4】what makes a password strong,” explained WP Engine, an internet company that performed the analysis. “For instance, adding a number or two at the end of a text phrase. That makes it better, right?”

But 【5】no. They found that almost half a million passwords did this and in 20 percent of those all people did was put the number “1” at the end.

Perhaps this is why some companies are now trying to move gradually beyond passwords. Yahoo! is giving users the option to 【6】 their mobile phone with an account, having a single use passwords texted to it each time they want to log on.

Although the serviced is voluntary, Dylan Casey an executive at Yahoo!，said that it was “the first step to【7】passwords”. He said it was a(n)【8】that it was increasingly hard for people to remember all the passwords they had. “I don’t think we, as an industry, have done a good enough job of putting ourselves in the shoes of the people using our products,” he said.

It would certainly be a more sensible strategy than same people’s improving upon “password” by using “password” or，“tran5p053d numb3r5 f0r 133tr3r5”.

“We are, for the most part，predictably【9】when it comes to choosing passwords, despite a decade of warnings from password strength checkers during sign-ups” said WP Engine. “We love taking a(n) 【10】, and so do password crackers.

A huge milestone has just been reached in the field of artificial intelligence: AlphaGo, a program developed by Google’s DeepMind unit, has defeated legendary Go player Lee Se-dol in the first of five historic matches being held in Seoul, South Korea. Lee 【1】 after about three and a half hours, with 28 minutes and 28 seconds remaining on his clock. The series is the first time a professional 9-dan Go player has taken on a computer, and Lee is 【2】 for a $1 million prize.

“I was very surprised,”said Lee after the match.“I didn’t expect to lose. But I didn’t think AlphaGo would play the game in such a perfect manner.”DeepMind founder Demis Hassabis expressed“huge 【3】 for Lee Se-dol and his amazing skills.”calling the game“hugely exciting”and“very tense.”Team lead David Silver said it was an“amazing game of Go that really pushed AlphaGo to its 【4】.”

Go is an ancient Chinese board game that has long been considered one of the great 【5】faced by AI. While computer programs ow best the world’s leading human players of games like checkers and chess, the high level of intuition and 【6】required by Go has made it tough for computers to crack. DeepMind’s AlphaGo program is the most 【7】effort yet, using a complex system of deep neural networks and machine learning; it beat European champion Fan Hui last year, but Lee Se-dol is another 【8】 rival entirely.

“I don’t regret accepting this challenge,”said Lee.“I am in shock, I admit that, but what’s done is done. I enjoyed this game and look forward to the next. I think I failed on the opening layout so if I do a better job on the opening aspect I think I will be able to increase my 【9】 of winning.”Lee was surprised both by how strong AlphaGo’s opening was, and by some 【10】moves.

37、I have a muscle disease but I don't look any different from other people. Sometimes, I was too weak【1】 go to school so my education suffered. Every time I returned after an【2】(absent), I felt stupid because I was behind the others.

My life is a lot easier at high school because few fellow students make me【3】(annoy). My ambition is to work for a firm【4】develops computer software when I grow up. Last year I invented a computer football game and a big company has decided to buy it from me. I have a very busy life with no time to sit around【5】(feel) sorry for myself. As well as going to the movies and football matches with my friends. I spend a lot of time looking after my pets【6】(proper) but I find it worthwhile.

In many ways my disability has helped me grow stronger psychologically and become more【7】 (independence). I have to work hard to live a normal life but it has been worth it. If【8】(have) a chance to say one thing to healthy children, it would be this: having a disability does not mean your life is not satisfying. So don't feel sorry for the disabled or make fun【9】them, and don't ignore them either. Just accept them for who they are, and give them encouragement to live【10】rich and full a life as you do.

39、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

After a long day, Zhang Tian finally got back to his small room, feeling tired. He had started working at seven in the morning, and it was eight in the evening now. He had to prepare his lessons for the following day. This is a typical day for Zhang Tian. Coming to Guizhou Province to teach has been quite an experience for him.

Zhang Tian graduated from university and got a teacher's certificate last year. His parents, like most, hoped he would go to a big city to find a teaching job. Likewise, his friends all left his hometown for work in Shanghai or Beijing. Zhang Tian felt differently, however. He wanted to start a new lifestyle. He had met wonderful teachers from small villages during his early school years and he was inspired by them to go and teach where he was needed the most. For that reason he applied for and became a volunteer teacher in a village school. Bringing with him lots of books, clothes, and two pairs of trainers, Zhang Tian travelled to the village with an eager heart. He imagined all sorts of exciting things about living independently and teaching in a village.

However, not everything lived up to Zhang Tian's hopes. The school had just three teachers and Zhang Tian was the only English teacher. The other two local teachers were responsible for maths and Chinese. The school was much smaller than he had expected, with only three classrooms. In front of the classrooms, there was a playground which got dusty on windy days and muddy on rainy days. Living in the village was also more challenging than he had thought. The power and water supplies were unstable, so he could only shower every three or four days, and he had to learn how to cook.

注意.开头已给出；2.所写词数应为150左右。

Paragraph 1 ：

The thought of leaving once flashed through his mind.

Paragraph 2：

Zhang Tian's first service year is almost over.

40、阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。

Picture this: After saving up your money, you finally have enough to buy that toy, game, or piece of clothing you've been dreaming of. You go to the store and find the item. But at the counter, you see a sign: "Hello! We've gone cashless(不用现金)."

Situations like this may become common if more stores and restaurants stop accepting cash as a payment. Instead, customers must pay with a credit card, or by smartphone app. Many business owners believe that getting rid of cash has benefited the way their business run. Staff members don't have to worry about having enough money to make change or about delivering bills and coins to the bank.

But a growing number of people think that cashless stores are unfair. According to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, more than 8 million households in the US don't have bank accounts. Also, many people, including kids, don't meet the requirements for a credit card. "A cashless economy(经济)is not an inclusive(包容广阔的)economy," Tazra Mitchell told National Public Radio. She's a policy director at the DC Fiscal Policy Institute. In her opinion, cashless stores are "essentially discriminating (歧视)against people". Plus, people who do have credit cards might prefer paying with cash. "Cash is still very popular with consumers," Nick Bourke said. He's a director at the Pew Charitable Trusts' consumer finance project. "It's used by almost eight in ten adults in the US every month. That's more than any other payment type."

Lawmakers in several places have taken steps to ban cashless stores. A handful of major cities including New York City and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, have already passed laws to solve the issue. In San Francisco, California, a law banning cashless stores was passed in May. It says most stores in the city must allow customers to pay with cash. Cerek REmski helped write the San Francisco law. He works for the city. "It's really about equity(公平)," Remski said. "It's about understanding that not everyone has equal access to things."
