It was a sunny day. I had gone up and down the tower when, outside the door at the foot, a blind man came toward me. In a moment, he disappeared up the stairs. I looked at the sign that said “To the Tower," and decided to 1 him.
I caught up with him in the ticket office. There I was 2 to see the attendant (工作人员) selling him a ticket as if he were any other visitor. Then, with the ticket in one hand and touching the wall with the 3 of the other, the blind man reached the stairs leading to the hallway.
"That man can't see. What would he climb up the tower for " I said to the attendant, expecting him to pay more attention to the poor blind man, but he didn't answer.
"Not the 4 certainly, ”I thought, feeling quite worried, I bought a ticket and hurried up the stairs“Oh, my God! Perhaps he wants to 5 from the tower."
The man hadn't gone as far as I imagined. A third of the way up the tower, I heard his steps. I slowed down and came after him at a little distance. He 6 from time to time. When he got to the balcony, I was many steps 7 As I reached it, I saw him at the corner of the tower.
At last, after ten minutes, I got closer to him, "Excuse me," I said as politely as I could, "but I am 8 to know why you came up.
He smiled. "Coming up the 9 you will notice how not just light but sun pours into the tower through the narrow windows here and there, so that you can feel the 10 the cool stairs suddenly become quite 11 and how up here behind the wall there is shade, but you can find the 12 as soon as going opposite a window. On the way, I took time to enjoy the fun. There is no 13 so good as this for feeling the deference between light and shade. It is not the first time I've come up:"
The blind man seemed quite 14 ,just like a child who was lost in his favorite games. He told me the truth that blind men can also find the 15 in life although they can’t enjoy the sights of the world.

Katie Steller has her own salon(美发院). She often wheels her red chair and scissors around the city to give free haircuts.
Edward was her first lucky customer. He looked to be in his 60s. He was balding and missing a few teeth. While she was cutting his greying hair, he told her about moving closer to his adult children.
Till now, Steller has offered about 30 such haircuts. These people are all living a hard time, and she is aware of the power of her cleanup job.
"It s more than a haircut," she says. "I want it to be a gateway, to show value and respect, but also to get to know people. I want to build relationships."
Steller knows that a haircut can change a life. As a teen, she had a very serious disease and her hair thinned terribly. Her mother took Steller for her first professional haircut.
"To sit down and have somebody look at me and talk to me like a person and not just an illness, it helped me feel cared about and less alone," she says.
After that, Steller knew she wanted to have her own salon so she could help people feel the way she d felt that day. In 2019, she began her Red Chair Project.
She says, "I can t fix their problems with free haircuts, but maybe I can help them feel less alone for a moment."
Early this year she started the Steller Kindness Project, in which people who do acts of kindness (volunteering for snowstorm relief, helping neighbors in need) are invited for a free haircut at Steller s salon. In exchange, they tell their stories, which Steller shares on her website. Her hope is that by reading about kind acts, others will spread their own.
So far Steller has had people reach out from around the country.
( ) 4.Why did Steller start her Red Chair Project
A. To help her neighbors in need.
B. To attract customers to her salon.
C. To help the lonely people feel less alone.

( ) 5.What does Steller mean by the sentence "It s more than a haircut" in Paragraph 4
A. A haircut can fix people s problems.
B. A haircut is what people need most.
C. Haircut stories are well reviewed on her website.
D. A haircut is a simple act to show care, value and respect.
( ) 6.Which sentence best expresses the theme of the story
A. Simple acts of kindness like a free haircut will spread.
B. Haircuts need practice and practice makes perfect.
C. It s heartbreaking to see how lonely people look.

Do you know anything about artificial intelligence(AI人工智能) AI can help us make phone calls, find the place we want to go and play games. And now, AI can do even more things.
Researchers have created the first translation system which makes sure you ll have no difficulty in communicating in a foreign country.
The system, called the Pioneer, will enter the market. When set in an earbud(耳塞), it fits comfortably in the ear. A pair of earpieces(听筒)is needed, one for each user. When the speaker talks, the Pioneer in the ear picks up the sound. And then the sound goes through the translation system that changes it into text in the listener s language. Then, the text is translated into a spoken form, and at last the Pioneer “whispers” it back to the listener in his or her language. As a result, the listener can understand the other person even though he or she doesn t know the speaker s language at all.
But how can the Pioneer make sure the translation is correct Researchers tried many ways to improve the system s translation abilities.
In one method, the system translates every sentence from Language A to Language B, and translates the sentence back from Language B into Language A. This way, the system can improve itself and learn from its own mistakes.
Another way needs the system to repeat the process of translating the same sentence over and over again. This takes about three months and then the system can improve the ability of its translation.
( ) 7.About the things AI can help people do now, the following is mentioned EXCEPT for ______.
A. making phone calls B. finding the place C. shopping online D. playing games
( ) 8.Which shows the way the Pioneer works when a Frenchman is talking to a Chinese
A. French spoken language→French text→Chinese spoken language
B. French spoken language→Chinese text→Chinese spoken language
C. Chinese spoken language→French text→French spoken language
D. Chinese spoken language→Chinese text→French spoken language

A. ①②; ③④; ⑤⑥ B. ①②; ③; ④⑤⑥
C. ①; ②③; ④⑤⑥ D. ①; ②③④; ⑤⑥
( ) 10.What s the main idea of this passage
A. What artificial intelligence can do for us.
B. How the artificial intelligence translation system was developed.
C. What researchers created the first translation system for.

It was a week before I saw Captain Nemo again.Every morning,I noticed fresh air coming into the rooms and I knew that the Nautilus had surfaced(浮出水面).I would go out and see the sunrise.
Then I received a note from Captain Nemo. He invited me and my friends to go hunting with him in the forests of Crespo Island. Ned was excited because he thought there he could find a chance to escape(逃跑). When I saw Captain Nemo the next day, I asked him why he was so interested in Crespo Island. “I thought you preferred the sea to being on land.”
“I do,” replied the Captain. “But these forests are under the sea.” During breakfast, he explained that he had made diving suits ( 潜水服) that used special air tanks. These tanks would allow us to stay under the water for ten hours. He had also made lights that worked in electric batteries(电池). When Ned realized that we were not going onto land for our hunting trip, he decided not to come at all.
Conseil and I put on our diving suits, and so did Captain Nemo and one of his men. We stepped into a room and closed the door. The room filled with water, and another door opened. We must go through it, and we were in the sea floor. It was an amazing experience.
We were about ten meters under the water. The light from the sun reached us. Everything looked very colorful. We walked over the fine sand and enjoyed the colors of the shells, fish and seaweed. Conseil and I followed Captain Nemo and his man as they crossed a large grassy area. We were going deeper and deeper. Two hours later, we were a hundred meters under the water. The suits worked very well, and it was easy to walk and breathe.
At one hundred meters deep, we could still see quite well, and Captain Nemo stopped and pointed to some dark shapes. This was the forest. The “trees” in the forest were giant seaweed, and all their branches were vertical (垂直的). We could not stop looking at them. Fish swam around the branches like birds in a forest. Small shrubs ( 灌 木 ) grew under the large seaweed trees. Some of them had flowers.
We walked through this forest for about an hour, and then we lay down to rest. I was not hungry, but I was very sleepy. We all slept, and when we woke up, we walked further.

I’m Jack.I work for a big company in Los Angeles.Last year,the company sent my wife and me to work in New York for a year.I’ve always loved jogging,so I was really happy when I found out the house they rented(租)for us was next to Central Park. 1
A lot of neighbours had told me to be careful with robbers(抢劫者)in Central Park,but I was not afraid of them because I didn’t take any money with me when jogging. 2 But one morning, my wife gave me a 10-dollar bill and asked me to buy some bread on the way.While I was running through the park,another jogger knocked into me.Just as I was wondering what was happening,he said sorry to me and went on running. 3 Suddenly,it reminded me of my money,so I checked my pocket and found that the money was gone.Without thinking twice,I ran after that jogger.The minute I held him by the arm.I shouted,“Give me my money!Now!”I am not usually a hot—headed person. 4 This seemed to frighten him,and he took out the money and gave it to me.Then he ran away as quickly as possible.
I bought the bread and went home.As soon as I got home,I began to tell my wife my story,” 5 Now,let me tell…”I started.
She immediately stopped me,“I know,you left the money for the bread on the kitchen table.”
I thought it was a bit strange.
Nothing can make me angry.

This meant it took me a short time to go to work by car every morning.
What could robbers do to me
This meant that I could go jogging in the park every morning before going to work.
