An airline passenger ensured a 20-year-old man was reunited with his lost wallet-along with a little extra something to make up for their time apart.
Hunter Shamatt first lost his wallet while he was on a Frontier Airlines flight from Omaha to attend his sister’s wedding in Las Vegas earlier this month. On realizing his wallet was lost, he contacted the airline to see if anyone had turned it in-but to no avail. Since the wallet contained his ID, a signed paycheck, his debit card and $ 60 in cash, he “feared the worst”.
Shortly after the flight, however, Hunter was shocked to receive a package in the mail from an unknown sender. Inside was his wallet-along with an additional $ 40 in cash.
“Found this on a Frontier flight from Omaha to Denver-row 12, seat F stuck between the seat and wall,” read a letter in the package. “Thought you might want it back. All the best. PS: I rounded your cash up to an even $ 100 so you could celebrate getting your wallet back. Have fun!”
Hunter’s mother, Jeannie, posted a photo of the letter to social media in hopes that they would be able to track down the sender and thank him for his kindness. All they had to go on was that the letter was sent from Applied Underwriters in Omaha and the sender’s initials were signed: “T. B”.
The Good Man was later identified as Todd Brown, a father-of-five who was delighted at the chance to “have a little fun” with helping out a hard-working stranger. Brown says that he often tries to do good deeds without any recognition, thus this is why he didn’t sign his full name on the letter, but Jeannie later insisted on praising the Nebraska native on social media.
“I try to teach my children to do the right things in life, help people when you can despite the outcome,” she wrote on Facebook. “This story is more about restoring faith in people than anything”.
1.What does the underlined word “to no avail” in Paragraph 2 mean
A.Under discussion.B.In vain.
C.Beyond belief.D.At a loss.
2.Why did Jeannie upload a picture of the letter to social media
A.To throw light on the truth.
B.To draw attention to Hunter’s lost wallet.
C.To find out the sender to express gratitude.
D.To sing high praise for the sender’s generosity.
3.Which of the following best describes Brown
A.Innocent.
B.Warm-hearted.
C.Romantic.
D.Easy-going.

A.Hunter Shamatt-a Lucky Man
B.Young Passenger Reunites with Sister

【命题立意】词义猜测题。【解题思路】根据第三段内容可知, 然而, 在这次飞行后不久, Hunter震惊地收到了一个来自未知寄件人的包裹。里面是他的钱包, 还有另外的40美元现金。由此可知, 当Hunter意识到自己的钱包丢失时, 联系了航空公司但钱包没有找到, 是不久之后有人寄给他的。画线短语意思为“徒劳地”。A. Under discussion. 正在讨论中; B. In vain. 徒劳, 无效; C. Beyond belief. 难以置信; D. At a loss. 茫然。故选B项。

（2020山东潍坊期中）
Technology has become so advanced that the previously impossible seem to occur on a daily basis, and yet we still have no cure for the common cold.
According to Peter Barlow, a scientist at Edinburgh Napier University in the UK, the main challenge lies in the many different types of cold viruses. There are at least 160 types. They change so easily that they quickly become resistant to drugs, or learn to hide from our immune systems. In other words, a single cure isn’t likely to work on every type of cold.
However, researchers from Stanford University have found a possible answer. They discovered a protein that the viruses need. Without it, they can’t spread inside your body. To identify the gene（基因） which produces the specific protein needed by the viruses, researchers used a gene- editing technique to test all genes. These modified (改变的) cells were then exposed to a range of viruses, including ones causing the common cold. All the viruses were unable to replicate (复制) inside cells without the gene that produces that specific protein.
Then, they tested genetically modified mice, which were completely unable to produce the protein. The mice were able to live normal lives without the protein. “Lacking that gene protected the mice completely from viral infection,” associate professor Jan Carette, from Stanford, told the BBC. “These mice would always die, but they lived through and we saw a very strong reduction in copying viruses and very strong protection. We have identified a fantastic target that all cold viruses require and depend on. Take that away and the virus really has no chance.”
Carette said the plan was to find a drug which could temporarily control the protein, instead of producing genetically modified humans.
1.Which of the following can best describe common cold viruses
A.Severe and deadly.
B.Mysterious and stubborn.
C.Diverse and changeable.
D.Challenging and oversized.
2.What is the function of the protein
A.Helping viruses spread.
B.Reducing physical infection.
C.Fighting against other viruses.
D.Strengthening the immune system.
3.What can we learn about the genetically modified mice
A.They caught cold easily.
B.Their health worsened.
C.They produced more protein.
D.They were able to survive.
4.What is the purpose of the research
A.To control certain genes.
B.To conquer the common cold.
C.To test a new drug.
D.To cure genetically modified mice.
答案：1.C

The man who could see the future
The ability to predict the future is a rare talent. American author Isaac Asimov (1920—1992), one of the great science fiction writers of his age, had such a talent. 1 Now that we’re here, let’s see what he got right.
2 Asimov thought computers would cause a revolution comparable to the industrial revolution of the 19th century. Specifically, he said that “mobile computerized objects” would be an important part of everyday life. Here, he clearly predicted our world of smartphones, tables and other devices. He also had a great deal to say about space exploration. 3
How did Asimov develop his special sense of future developments 4 He read the newspapers and magazines sold in his parents’ candy store. His scientific interest gained sharper focus at Columbia University in New York. Asimov went to study chemistry, but became bored with pure laboratory science. Instead, he thought hard about the social implications(作用) of science. He wanted to communicate his ideas to the public.
5 Asimov had his finger on the pulse(脉搏)of both scientific and social change. He had a clear vision of what was coming around the corner for humanity in his works like the Galactic Empire series(《银河帝国》系列). “His predictions are absolutely fascinating,” Calum Chase, an English writer, told BBC News. “He was a genius.”
A. As a smart boy, Asimov taught himself to read at the age of five.
B. Space exploration really can make our life more convenient and comfortable.
C. Back in 1983, he was asked to predict what the world would look like in 2019.
D. On the role that computing would play in the future, he was amazingly accurate.
E. Asimov has developed a great interest in computer programming since childhood.
F. As an author, his books would feature the theme of social change caused by technology.
G. The International Space Station proves his prediction that we would not simply visit space but seek to stay there.

“Thanks again, Anna,” Peter Smith said. “You did a great job.”
“You’re welcome,” Anna Johnson could hardly keep the excitement from her voice. Her first baby sitting job had gone perfectly. She’d played games with Peter’s three children until it was bedtime. Mr. Smith walked her to the front door and waited while she let herself into the house. Anna hadn’t even looked at the money Mrs. Smith had pressed into her hand at the end of the evening. She’d expected five or six dollars. Now, she saw that it was a twenty-dollar bill!
Anna imagined her parents’ faces when she handed them the twenty dollars.
Things hadn’t been easy for the Johnson family since Anna’s dad had lost his engineering job a year ago. There had been no new clothes or movies in the last year. They no longer went out to eat on Fridays. Anna didn’t really mind, as long as her family was together. But now she could help. Twenty dollars! That was enough to fill the car with gas or to buy a bag of groceries.
Her excitement faded as she wondered if Mrs. Smith realized how much money she had given her. Could she have made a mistake Anna felt bad as she remembered that Mrs. Smith had simply pulled the money from her purse without looking at it.
Anna thought, “Maybe Mrs. Smith meant to give me the twenty-dollar bill. Baby sitting three children is a lot of work.” Soon Anna remembered that the Smiths didn’t seem to have much money, either. But, she silently argued with herself. “They gave me the money. I didn’t steal it.”
She found her parents in the living room. Anna took a deep breath and told them what had happened. “I wanted to give the money to you to help out the family, but I think Mrs. Smith made a mistake,” she continued. “I’m going to give it back to her.”
Dad settled his big hand on her shoulder. “You just gave us the best gift, Anna.” Mom kissed her. “We’re very proud of you, sweetheart.”

（2021江苏宿迁沭阳修远中学高二月考）
Many leading AI researchers think that in a matter of decades, artificial intelligence will be able to do not merely some of our jobs, but all of our jobs, forever transforming life on Earth.
The reason why many regard this as science fiction is that we’ve traditionally thought of intelligence as something mysterious that can only exist in biological organisms, especially humans. But such an idea is unscientific.
From my point of view as a physicist and AI researcher, intelligence is simply a certain kind of information processing performed by elementary particles （基本粒子） moving around, and there is no law of physics that says one can’t build more intelligent machines than us in all ways. This suggests that we’ve only seen the tip of the iceberg and that there is an amazing potential to unlock the full intelligence that is latent in nature and use it to help humanity.
If we get it right, the upside is huge. Since everything we love about civilization is the product of intelligence, amplifying （扩大） our own intelligence with AI has the potential to solve tomorrow’s toughest problems. For example, why risk our loved ones dying in traffic accidents that self-driving cars could prevent or dying of cancers that AI might help us find cures for Why not increase productivity through automation and use AI to accelerate our research and development of affordable sustainable （可持续的） energy
I’m optimistic that we can develop rapidly with advanced AI as long as we win the race between the growing power of our technology and the knowledge with which we manage it. But this requires giving up our outdated concept of learning from mistakes. That helped us win the race with less powerful technology: We met with fire and then invented fire extinguishers （灭火器）, and we met with accidents and then invented seat belts. However, it’s an awful idea for more powerful technologies, such as nuclear weapons or superintelligent AI-where even a single mistake is unacceptable and we need to get things right for the first time.
1.How do many people feel about leading AI researchers’ predictions
A.Worried. B.Curious.
C.Doubtful.D.Disappointed.
2.What does the author think of intelligence
A.We know little about it.
B.It belongs to human beings.
C.It is too difficult to understand.
D.We have nothing more to discover.
3.What does the underlined word “upside” in Paragraph 4 probably mean
A.Cost.B.Risk.
C.Quantity.D.Advantage.
4.What’s important to us in the race between people and technology
A.Learning from failure.
B.Increasing our intelligence.
C.Avoiding making mistakes.
D.Being more optimistic.

The sun is going to expand into the orbit of Mercury according to scientific calculations, which will result in the entire Earth catching on fire. Who will save the world
This imaginative tale is at the heart of the latest Chinese sci-fi movie The Wandering Earth. Unlike many American space-themed films where the solution to a disaster Earth faces is always fleeing （逃离） the planet in spaceships, this time we’re taking the Earth with us. The film, which has become the country’s most successful film of all time, has offered a different and more ambitious idea.
The “ambition” didn’t come from nowhere. For thousands of years, “homeland” has had a soft spot in the hearts and minds of Chinese people. One old idiom that shows a strong feeling that Chinese people have had for their homeland is “luoyeguigen”, which means returning to one’s homeland in old age, like fallen leaves returning to the roots of their tree.
“What is Chinese sci-fi ” Guo Fan, the film’s director, said in an interview. “A vehicle that really expresses our cultural and spiritual core （核心） can be called Chinese sci-fi. Otherwise, we’re just following others and telling the same Hollywood stories.”
And the makers of The Wandering Earth may have chosen the best time to tell its Chinese sci-fi story. The film was released on Feb. 5, the first day of Chinese New Year. It was a time when many people had just made the hard journey back to their hometowns. So to them, there is only one possible way to tell the story: Earth goes wherever humans go, because it’s our home.

A.give a brief account of the film
B.warn people of the coming threat
C.explore ways to avoid the disaster
D.introduce the topic of the passage
6.The underlined phrase “a different and more ambitious idea” refers to .
A.fleeing the Earth in spaceships
B.bringing in huge success
C.filling the gap in Chinese sci-fi movies
D.helping Earth make its escape
7.Which of the following is unlikely to account for the success of the film
A.The rich imagination of the story.
B.Hollywood-style space stories.
C.The special cultural background.
D.The time chosen to release the film.

解析：5.考查动词的时态。句意：这不是Daan Roosegaarde在过去几年里开始的第一个项目。设空处在从句中作谓语, 根据时间状语over the last few years（在过去的几年里）可知此处时态为现在完成时。故答案为has started。
答案：6.for
解析：6.考查介词。句意：他还负责雾霾净化塔的建设：雾霾净化塔是世界上最大的空气净化器, 安装在世界各地, 可以将城市烟雾变成钻石。be responsible for…表示“对……负责”。结合句意可知答案为for。
答案：7.that
解析：7.考查定语从句的引导词。句意见上题解析。设空处引导定语从句, 且在从句中作主语, 先行词为air cleaner, 且由最高级修饰, 只能用关系词that, 故答案为that。
答案：8.locations
解析：8.考查名词的数。设空处前为形容词, 形容词修饰名词, 故设空处应为名词, location（地点）为可数名词, 被various（各种各样的）修饰, 故应用其复数的形式。故答案为locations。
答案：9.producing
解析：9.考查非谓语动词。设空处前为介词, 故设空处应用动名词作宾语。故答案为producing。
答案：10.an
解析：10.考查冠词。句意：另外, 这座塔耗电非常少——大约相当于一个电水壶所用的电量。设空处后为单数可数名词, 表示泛指, 故应用不定冠词修饰, electric以元音音素开头, 故答案为an。
