A
Can you imagine a cloud floating in the middle of your room Do you want to know what it feels like to fly like a bird Find your answers in Time Magazine's 25 "Best Inventions". Here, we have picked out the most interesting 4 to share with you.
Talking Gloves
Ever felt confused by the sign language used by disabled people Here is the "helping hand" you need. Four Ukrainian students have created a pair of gloves that helps people with hearing and speech problems communicate with others. The gloves are equipped with sensors that recognize sign language and translate it into text on a smartphone. Then the smartphone changes the text to spoken words.
Google Glasses
Google Glasses are like a computer built into the frame of a pair of glasses. With its 1.3-centimeter display, the glasses allow you to surf the Internet and make calls without even lifting a finger. The glasses also have a camera and GPS mapping system. Users can take and share photos, check maps and surf the Internet just by looking up, down, left and right.
Indoor Clouds
It's not virtual.That's a real world. Dutch artist Smilde managed to create a small but perfect white cloud in the middle of a room using a fog machine. But it required careful planning—the temperature, humidity（湿度）and lighting all had to be just right. Once everything was ready, the cloud formed in the air with the machine. But it only lasted for a short while.
Wingsuits
The suit fulfills your dreams of flying like a bird.Well, not exactly flying, but gliding（滑翔）through the air. It increases the surface area of the human body, which makes it easier for people to float in the air. Fliers wearing wingsuits can glide one kilometer in about 30 seconds.
21．Who will probably be the users of “Talking Gloves”
A．Disabled people B．Normal people.
C．Trained people. D．Working people.
22．How can users of Google Glasses surf the Internet
A．By moving the mouse. B．By tapping the keyboard.
C．By moving the eyeballs. D．By pressing the button.
23．Which of the following can help you fly
A．Talking Gloves. B．Wingsuits.
C．Google Glasses. D．Indoor Clouds.

In many countries in the world，public money is mostly used for preserving Architectural heritage(传统)in different ways.In my opinion，these funds are being spent effectively by this way.Old buildings such as historical buildings should be protected and turned into wonderful places for learning and visiting SO that we can gain appropriate benefits from them.
Personally speaking，using public funds for architectural heritage preservation is accurate as the society can take numerous advantages from this.First of all，these historical buildings，palaces，shrines(神殿)….are striking evidences for past lives and buildings.For example，before cameras were invented，there was no way to show how a life of a king was during his age.However，with his castle and exhibits，researchers can build up assumptions.The second considerable benefit of preserving architectural heritage is for tourism.In my country, every year, Hue welcomes thousands of visitors to its ancient capital，which contributes greatly to the province’s income.
Among distinct types of old buildings，I suggest preserving historical one as a studying and attraction spot.This is because，along with tourism purpose，old houses and palaces surviving throughout time，witnessing the country’S important events are huge material for both students and researchers.Schools can use them for practical history lessons，which help children to learn more effectively.
To sum up，spending public money for protecting architectural heritages is a brilliant choice of most governments in the world.Besides.I think we should concern more about preserving historical buildings，turn them into visiting and learning areas in order to get the best out of them.
24．What is the author’S attitude to using most public money to preserve architectural heritage
A．Doubtful. B．Favorable. C．Disapproving. D．Unclear.
25．what is the advantage of using public funds to protect architectural heritage
A．Making money. B．Gaining inspiration.
C．Preparing for future. D．Improving the environment.
26．Why do schools use historical buildings
A．Their materials are unique.
B．Students have an urgent demand.
C．They help increase students’knowledge.
D．They do good to students’communication skills.
27．What’s the best title for the text
A．Ways of Architectural Heritage Protection
B．Architectural Heritage Is a Treasure of Society
C．Architectural Heritage Protection--a Wise Choice
D．Views on Using Public Money for Architectural Heritage
C
Before the 1830s, most newspapers were sold through annual subscriptions in America, usually $8 to $10 a year. Today $8 or $10 seems a small amount of money, but at that time these amounts were forbidding to most citizens. Accordingly, newspapers were read almost only by rich people in politics or the trades. In addition, most newspapers had little in them that would appeal to a mass audience. They were dull and visually forbidding. But the revolution that was taking place in the 1830s would change all that.
The trend, then, was toward the “penny paper”—a term referring to papers made widely available to the public. It meant any inexpensive newspaper; perhaps more importantly it meant newspapers that could be bought in single copies on the street.
This development did not take place overnight. It had been possible(but not easy) to buy single copies of newspapers before 1830, but this usually meant the reader had to go down to the printer’s office to purchase a copy. Street sales were almost unknown. However, within a few years, street sales of newspapers would be commonplace in eastern cities. At first the price of single copies was seldom a penny—usually two or three cents was charged—and some of the older well-known papers charged five or six cents. But the phrase “penny paper” caught the public’s fancy, and soon there would be papers that did indeed sell for only a penny.
This new trend of newspapers for “the man on the street” did not begin well. Some of the early ventures(企业) were immediate failures. Publishers already in business, people who were owners of successful papers, had little desire to change the tradition. It took a few youthful and daring businessmen to get the ball rolling.
28．Which of the following best describes newspapers in America before the 1830s
A．Academic. B．Unattractive. C．Inexpensive. D．Confidential.
29．What did street sales mean to newspapers
A．They would be priced higher. B．They would disappear from cities.
C．They could have more readers. D．They could regain public trust.
30．Who were the newspapers of the new trend targeted at
A．Local politicians. B．Common people.
C．Young publishers. D．Rich businessmen.
31．What can we say about the birth of the penny paper
A．It was a difficult process. B．It was a temporary success.
C．It was a robbery of the poor. D．It was a disaster for printers.
D
“Is data the new oil ” asked advocates of big data back in 2012 in Forbes magazine. By 2016, with the rise of big data’s fast-growing cousin deep learning, we had become more certain: “Data is the new oil,” stated Fortune magazine.
Amazon’s Neil Lawrence has a slightly different comparison: Data is coal. Not coal today, though, but coal in the early days of the 18th century, when Thomas Newcomen invented the steam engine. Newcomen built his device to pump water out of the southwest’s rich tin (锡) mines.
The problem, as Lawrence said, was that the pump was rather more useful to those who had a lot of coal than those who didn’t: it was good, but not good enough to be able to buy enough coal in to run it. That was so true that the first of Newcomen’s steam engines wasn’t built in a tin mine, but in coal works near Dudley.
So why is data coal The problem is similar: there are a lot of Newcomen in the world of deep learning. New companies are coming up with revolutionary new ways to train machines to do impressive tasks, from reconstructing facial data from images to learning the writing style of an individual user to better predict which word they are going to type in a sentence. And yet, like Newcomen, their innovations are so much more useful to the people who actually have large amounts of raw material to work from.
But there is an ending to the story: 69 years later, James Watt made a nice change to the Newcomen steam engine, adding a condenser (冷凝器) to the design. That change, Lawrence said, “made the steam engine much more efficient, and that’s what triggered the industrial revolution.”
Whether data is oil or coal, then, there’s another way the comparison holds up: a lot of work is going into trying to make sure we can do more, with less.
“If you look at all the areas where deep learning is successful, they’re all areas where there’s lots of data,” points out Lawrence. That’s great if you want to classify images of cats, but less helpful if you want to use deep learning to diagnose rare illnesses. “It’s generally considered unacceptable to force people to become sick in order to acquire data.”
It’s not as impressive as teaching a computer to play a game better than any human alive, but “data efficiency” is a vital step if deep learning is to move away from simply taking in large amounts of data and giving out the best correlations (关联) possible.
32．The first of Newcomen’s steam engines wasn’t built in a tin mine because________.
A．its operation required a lot of coal B．it would lose its function in a tin mine
C．it was in greater demand in coal works D．the rich mines required more advanced aids
33．According to the passage, in which situation is deep learning the least successful
A．Reconstructing facial data. B．Predicting a word in a sentence.
C．Classifying images of cats. D．Diagnosing rare diseases.
34．What can be inferred from the passage
A．Watt’s condenser helped the steam engine consume less coal.
B．Data involving patients is often collected through immoral ways.
C．Teaching machines to learn is a vital step towards data efficiency.
D．Thomas Newcomen’s steam engine had revolutionary applications.
35．Neil Lawrence compared data to coal to indicate that________.
A．acquiring data is as complex as mining for coal
B．a change is required to make more out of less data
C．data is the new fuel to start an information revolution
D．a larger amount of data is needed to accomplish something

Mike’s Lucky Ice Cream
Mike licked(舔)the last of the chocolate ice cream. It was almost time to leave. He jumped into the car with his parents and headed to the swimming pool for the big swim meet(运动会).
When his race began, Mike was confident. He was strong and fast. Mike climbed out of the pool, smiling. He had just won the first place, making him the fastest boy in his age group. He walked towards his parents. “Congratulations, son!” his father said. His mom hugged him.
A week later, it was time for another swim meet. Like before, Mike decided to enjoy his favorite chocolate ice cream before leaving home. Mike remembered that the last time he had won a race, he also ate chocolate ice cream first. Maybe he would win again. Yes, the result was what he had expected.
Gradually, Mike got used to having some chocolate ice cream before every one of the next swim meets. He began to think of it as his lucky charm(吉祥物). His parents didn’t think it a great idea but Mike argued that he needed to eat it to win.
After several months of being the top one of every race he swam, though he wouldn’t admit it, he was also starting to feel a little uncomfortable. All that ice cream was adding a few pounds to him. Practices were getting a little harder for Mike to keep the speeds he was used to getting.
Soon Mike became the last one in his races. The lucky chocolate ice cream lost its magic. Mike didn’t know what to do. He had been certain that it was the ice cream that helped him win.
On the day of his next swim meet, his mother told him it was not a good idea to eat so much ice cream because of its high fat and sugar. Maybe it was time to stop. Mike followed his mother’s advice, unwillingly. He lost the game again.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式作答。
His father decided to help him.

It was the last meet of the season(赛季), and Mike wasn’t sure what the result would be.

Dear John,
I'm sorry to hear that you're addicted to computer games which have had a bad influence on your health. I know you worry about it very much. As a good friend, I'm willing to give you some advice.
Firstly, you should limit the time that you spend playing computer games and pay more attention to other things. Secondly, you should get up and go to bed at a specific time so that you can form a habit of getting up and going to bed regularly. Thirdly, you should do exercise for about half an hour every day to strengthen your body. I do hope that you can get rid of computer games and form a healthy lifestyle.
Best wishes!
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
His father decided to help him. He took Mike to run a few days a week to make him feel better. They also went to gym where Mike’s muscles got strengthened. Mike was increasingly strong. He never tried any Chocolate ice cream. The extra weight soon disappeared，and Mike found himself breathing more easily at swim practices. He was eager to participate in the race.
It was the last meet of the season(赛季), and Mike wasn’t sure what the result would be. As he dived into the water, he kicked his legs and stretched his arms as far as he could. Whenever he came up for a breath, he felt determined to pass the ones ahead of him. Mike found the power in his muscles! As his hand touched the edge of the pool, the race was over. Mike couldn’t believe he had won the race! The audience cheered loudly. His parents were grinning from ear to ear. “Hey champion, let’s have some of your favorite ice cream and celebrate!” said his father. “Thanks, Dad. I’ll give up eating ice cream because it’s not such a lucky charm after all!”
