For Stevens Point locals in the US, the city is flooded with delicious fried fish. Here are four top choices for the community to have a try.
Hilltop Pub&Grill
Hilltop Pub&Grill first opened in the 1980s and took the Stevens Point community by storm with its delicious food and unique decoration style. Its fried fish are beloved due to the use of “high-quality North Atlantic cod, with a light beer batter (面糊)”.
The Final Score Bar&Grill
The Final Score Bar&Grill aimed to become a local hot spot in 2001 when Jim Billings, the owner, took charge of the business. Billings feels that their five batter flavors set them apart from their neighboring bars. Besides, various wines are available.
Point After Pub&Grill
Point After Pub&Grill started serving delicious food and cold beers in a welcoming environment in 2009. But its history runs much longer. “Before it was Point After Pub&Grill, it had been Northside Bar for 30 plus years,” explained Molski, the owner. Molski feels that the pub’s four special batter choices and other fish specials are what help make it an area landmark.
Two Harps Pub
This Irish pub opened its doors to the public in 2017 and has been drawing fans and locals ever since. “I had done my career for a long time and was kind of bored with it,” said Nick Moore, the owner. “And this opportunity fell into my lap, so I went with it. It really made sense to open up an Irish bar.” The growing pub advises guests to try a cold beer with their Friday fried fish.

My name is Mildred Hondorf, a music teacher. Over the years, I have found that children have many levels of musical ability. Although I have some talented students, I've also had my share of what I call "musically challenged" pupils. One such student was Robby.
Robby was 11 years old when he came for his first piano lesson. He said that it had always been his mother's dream to hear him play the piano. Although Robby tried hard, he lacked the basic rhythm needed to be excellent. However, he continued and always said, "My mom's going to hear me play some day." But he just did not have any inborn ability and his mother just dropped Robby off but never stopped in.
Then one day, Robby stopped coming to our lessons. He called me and said his mother was sick. Several weeks later, I was invited to take my students to have a show and Robby asked me if he could be in . "Miss Hondorf...I've just got to play!" I don't know what led me to allow him to play in the show. Maybe it was his insistence or something else inside of me .
The night for the show came. The gymnasium was packed with people. I put Robby up last in the program. I thought that any damage he would do would come at the end of the program and I could always save his poor performance through my " curtain closing".
The show went off well. Then Robby came up on stage. He played so well and everyone applauded for him. In tears I hugged Robby in joy. " How would you do it "
"Well, Miss Hondorf ... remember I told you my mom was sick Well, actually, she had cancer and passed away this morning. And well ... she was born deaf so tonight was the first time she ever heard me play. I wanted to make it special."

When you talk to doctors in the hospitals, it often happens that most of them are very serious and speak in a range of terms that may be difficult to understand. But Zhang Wenhong, the leader of the Shanghai team of experts in the treatment of novel coronavirus pneumonia, is one of the exceptions. He caught the public's attention for his recent frank and funny speech.
Zhang's words first went viral （走红）on the Internet after he said in late January that he had sent doctors and nurses who are members of the Communist Party of China （CPC） to frontline hospitals to treat coronavirus cases. "When becoming CPC members, we vowed （发 誓）that we would always put people's interests first in the face of difficulties," Zhang said. “This is the moment we live up to the vow. All CPC members must rush to the frontline. No bargaining." Such a hardcore declaration of his attitude won widespread applause among Internet users. “A person's morals are witnessed most in a critical situation. Nothing could win more recognition from the people than the down-to-earth behavior of the CPC members, said Yang Haiyan, a 32-year-old Shanghai resident.
One month later, when Zhang advised local residents to reduce the risk of spreading the virus by staying at home, he said in Shanghai dialect: "If you don't stop seeing friends, you will see them again in the ICU.”
Though chased by the media, Zhang described himself as a medical worker who must speak out now, but will return to keeping a low profile after the outbreak ends. "I spoke because of the fear among the public, owing to limited knowledge of the contagion （传染病）," said Zhang on Feb 26. “However, once the curtain of this coronavirus incident falls, it may be hard to find me. I’ll just hide myself in a corner, studying complicated patient cases and doing some reading silently.
28. What has made Zhang Wenhong so popular online
A. His attitude towards his patients. B. His honest and humorous speech.
C. His vow to fight against the virus. D. His broad knowledge of the virus.
29. Why did Zhang Wenhong send CPC members of medical staff to frontline hospitals
A. They would not bargain. B. They should do as they had vowed.
C. They would be calmer in a critical situation. D. They could win recognition from the people.
30. What can we infer from Zhang Wenhong's words in the last paragraph
A. He doesn't like to speak in public.
B. He is looking forward to taking a break.
C. He is not a person who is after fame and attention.
D. He mainly treats people with complicated diseases.
31. In which column of a newspaper may the passage appear
A. Figure B. Life C. Entertainment D. Medicine
D
Four years ago, more than 700 computer scientists competed in a contest to build an artificial intelligence （Al） that could pass an 8th-grade science exam. They all flunked. Even the most developed system couldn't score higher than 60 points on the test. Al can't match the language and logic （逻辑）skills that students are expected to have when they enter middle school.
Later, a system named Aristo was developed by the Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence, a lab in the US. It recently passed an 8-grade science exam taken by many US students, the New York Times reported. It correctly answered more than 90% of the questions. Then it was given a 12th-grade exam and it scored more than 80 points.
Aristo was able to pass the exam because it can not only understand language but also use logical thinking to solve difficult problems. For example, it can understand what a forest fire is and how it could affect animals like rabbits. The Aristo system used Bert, a kind of technology developed by Google, to answer the questions. Bert has "tread" thousands of Wikipedia articles and books. If it looks at a sentence with a missing word, it can correctly guess what the word is. With the help of Bert, Aristo has "read" a lot of science questions and answers. Over time, it was able to find logical patterns （模式）on its own.
Aristo's success means that Al systems are getting better at understanding language and even respond to language. However, t4We can't compare this technology to real human students and their logical ability, said Jingjing Liu, a Microsoft researcher, who has been working on similar technologies.
32. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “flunked" in the first paragraph
A. failed B. passed C. missed D. improved
33. Why was Aristo developed
A. To help students do well in exams. B. To improve the logical skills of Al.
C. To help make school tests more scientific. D. To show ATS ability to solve science problems.
34. What is the purpose of the third paragraph
A. To show what else Aristo can do.
B. To tell what Aristo can learn on its own.
C. To explain how Aristo learns to solve problems.
D. To introduce another achievement in technology.
35. What do Jingjing Liu's words show
A. Al is not as developed as it might seem.
B. Humans can't live without Al in the future.
C. Al will soon replace humans in many tasks.
D. Aristo's logical ability still needs improving
第二节 (共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
People-pleasers want everyone around them to be happy and they will do whatever is asked
of them to keep it that way. They put everyone else before themselves. For some, saying “yes” is a habit; 36 This makes them feel important and like they’re contributing to someone else’s life.
37 Not only does it put a lot of pressure and stress on you, but essentially you can make yourself sick from doing too much. In the worst case, you’ll wake up and find yourself depressed , 38 .
Here’s a list of strategies to help you stop being a people -pleaser and finally say “no”.
Think about it.
Whenever someone asks you for a favor, it’s perfectly OK to say that you’ll need time to consider. This gives you the opportunity to think if you can help.
It is also important to ask the person for details about the commitment. Ask yourself: Do I have the time to do this How pressured am I going to feel These questions are key because you need time to think of your must-do list and things you don’t want to do.
39
It’s tempting( 诱人的) to want to defend your decision to say “no” to someone so they understand your reasoning. But this actually backfires(产生反作用). As soon as you start explaining, you give the other person lots of room to come back and say, “Oh, you can do that later.” “You can adjust your schedule.” or “That’s not as important as what I’m asking. ”
Don’t apologize — if it’s not your fault.
People-pleasers tend to be serial( 连续的) apologists. Pay attention to when you’re apologizing and consider if you’re really at fault. 40 Usually, the answer is “no”.
Don’t give a list of excuses.
Realize you have a choice.
say what you’re thinking and what you want.
People-pleasing can have serious risks in fact
Ask yourself if you’re responsible for the situation.
for others, it’s almost an addiction that makes them feel like they need to be needed.
because you’re on such overload since you possibly can’t do it all.

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。
A light knock on the door brought me from my kitchen. Because we had just moved into the neighbourhood, I couldn’t imagine who it would be. Opening the door, an old man stood there, who was dressed in dirty clothing and wearing dirty rubber boots. His hand hung a plastic bag.
“Can I help you ” I asked.
“Would you like to buy some fresh garden vegetables ” His blue eyes were hopeful.
“Are they from your garden ” I looked inside his plastic bag and saw some carrots with soil.
“Yes,” his voice was soft. “And I can get some apples from a tree in my yard. Would you like some of those, too ”
My heart softened, and I wondered if he was badly in need of money. With a sigh, I said, “Please step inside and I’ll get my money.”
The next day, he knocked at our door again. This time, my little four-year-old daughter got there first. “Oh, hello. Would you like to come in for some tea ” Without a second thought, the old man stepped inside and held out a broken basket with several apples. “From my tree,” he said, removing a worn cap. “You might like to make a pie.”
The three of us sat at the kitchen table and drank our tea. It was obvious that my daughter liked hosting a visitor in her never-ending questions. “What is your name Where do you live Why are your clothes so dirty ”
The homeless-looking man laughed as he answered each question. His name was Mr. Locket and he lived around the corner. His wife had passed away several years ago, and his children all lived far away. He was lonely. His need for company had sent him door to door selling fruit and vegetables. Ours was the only door opened to him that day.

Paragraph 1:
When he finished the tea, he said he had to go home and promised to return the next day. My daughter excitedly waited for his next visit and made full preparations. As the old man visited us the next day, he was amazed by all of the preparations for him, including apple pies. His eyes were filled with tears. We became friends, and my daughter and I enjoyed the company the old visitor offered us. But before long, he had to move to live with his daughter and we hadn’t seen him ever since.
Paragraph 2:
Several years later, a small envelope was delivered to our home—a letter from the old man’s daughter. She informed us that our dear old friend had passed away and sent us another letter written by the old man, which said, “Thank you for all your kindnesses to an old man. When I was lonely, you took me in. When I was badly in need of a family, you accepted me. My last few years are filled with happiness because of you.”
