If you’re reading this right now, you’re probably interested in learning English as a second language and think it could be a valuable skill in the future. But these days, fewer college students in the United States are studying foreign languages themselves.
The Modern Language Association (MLA), a group in the US that tracks language studies, found that the number of US college students who were studying a foreign language dropped by 9 percent from 2019 to 2021, Quartz reported.
Most of the drop was due to a decrease（下降） in the number of people learning Spanish, the most popular foreign language among US college students, while many other foreign languages such as German and Italian also lost popularity.
One reason for this could be that studying a foreign language is not seen as practical（实用的）. Indeed, the decrease in foreign language studies came just after the global financial crash of 2008.
There are many majors now, such as digital arts, that didn’t exist in earlier years. With more choices than before, students are less likely to study a foreign language.
But failing to master a second language could take away potential job opportunities for US students in the future, experts say.
Luckily, efforts have been made to change the situation. Starting this June, the government in New York City will allow its high school students to choose Spanish as one of the tests they must pass to graduate.
34. Which foreign language was the most popular among US college students
A．Spanish B．French C．German D．Italian
35. Which of the following is TRUE, according to the passage
A. Compared with 2019, there were more US college students studying foreign languages in 2021.
B.From 2019 to 2021, the number of US college students who were studying Spanish dropped by 9 percent.
C. There would be fewer job opportunities for US students who don’t master a second language in the future.
D. The US government will allow high school students to choose Spanish as one of the tests they have to pass for graduation.
36. From the passage, we can guess that digital arts is ____________
A．Very popular among US college students
B．More practical than studying a foreign language.
C．Less practical than studying a foreign language
D．A new major in US colleges.
37.What’s the main idea of the passage
A．There is no need to learn a foreign language
B．It’s necessary to learn a foreign language.
C．Learning Spanish is more useful than before.
D．There are fewer US students learning a foreign language.

I hired a man to help me repair(修理)an old farmhouse. His first day on the job make him mad—a flat tire（轮胎)made him lose an hour of work, he cut his finger with a knife and his old truck refused to start. While I drove him home, he sat in silence.
On arriving, he invited me to meet his family. As we walked towards the front door, he stopped at a small tree and touched the tips of the branches with both hands. When opening the door, his face was full of smiles and he hugged his two children and gave his wife a kiss.
Afterwards, he walked with me to the car. We passed the tree. I was so curious that I asked him about what I had seen earlier. “Oh, that's my trouble tree,” he replied. “I know I can't help having troubles on the job, but one thing is for sure. Those troubles don't belong to my children and wife. So I hang them in the tree every night and ask God to take care of them. Then in the morning, I pick them up again.”
“The funny thing is,” he smiled, “When I come out to pick them up in the morning, there aren't as many as those hung up the night before.”

D. What the man did was very funny.

Artificial intelligence or AI, is defined as “ the capability of a machine to imitate intelligent human behavior”. It is around us every day.AI is set to benefit mankind in many ways. Imagine being able to hop in a car, tell it your destination, and sit back in comfort as the AI-guided self-driving car takes you there. Imagine having an AI tutor that could help you with your schoolwork. It will make everyday tasks easier and bring efficiently to various industries. AI might just prove to be one of man’s greatest inventions.
______________________In February 2018, a group of AI experts got together to discuss the possible misuse of AI. What they found was that “Every AI advance by the good guys is an advance for the bad guys, too,” according to Quartz.
Their biggest concern was that criminals could use AI for wrong purposes. One of the areas they looked at was the use of AI to create websites that could be used to steal people’s personal information. Another possibility is that AI programs could be taught to hack software and break into computer secure systems.
There are some other concerns as well. It is possible that AI could be used to create fake imagines and videos. Chinese tech giant Baidu, in fact, has developed a program called Deep Voice that can “clone” anyone’s voice by studying a 3.7-second audio sample.
Many leading figures in the tech world have expressed concern about AI. People like Bill Gates and Elon Musk have called for the industry to be more strictly regulated, as there are few laws right now on the use of AI.
However, this is set to change. In March 2018, the European Union plans to set up a group that will discuss the moral and ethical dangers of advanced AI- and hopefully, suggest some regulations that will help us keep it safe for mankind.
42. Why do some experts have concerns about AI .
A. Because it makes people lazier
B. Because some people may use it to do wrong things
C. Because it will replace workers in many industries.
D. Because it is developing too fast.
43. Which of the following is the best to fill in the “_________” in Paragraph 2 .
A. Convenience is the main advantage of AI .
B. The technology of AI is increasing.
C. However, AI Will replace humans one day.
D. And yet, like any other technology, AI will also bring risks.
44. Deep Voice is mentioned to show _________.
A.How AI is developed B. What AI can do in the future
C.Why Baidu is a tech giant D. How AI can copy voices
45. What can we infer from the story
A. There may be new laws to regulate the use of AI.
B. AI will bring more harm than benefit to mankind.
C. Many AI programmers will become criminals.
D. There will only be fake news and video online.
