My family would describe me as anything but a risk-taker. “Grandma drives faster than you!” my younger son likes to joke with me. So when I announced I was going to step outside my comfort zone and sign up for a self-defense course, my children, my husband, and even my mom were a bit doubtful.
A gym near my house was offering free two-hour classes including boxing, wrestling and judo(柔道). I signed up for it and for the next days I questioned whether yoga would have been a wiser choice. The morning of the class, I pulled up to the gym, grabbed my water bottle along with a bit of courage I brought with me, and walked inside. We learned how to kick and knee someone where it counts and how to strike using the palms of our hands. After the instructor showed various escape techniques, I wondered what I was doing there. Seconds later, I reminded myself that I was on a search to push my boundaries(极限). By the time the class ended, I was full of energy.
Before I entered the gym, I never imagined I would have the confidence and courage to throw a punch that could discourage someone twice my size. Almost two years later, I still attend classes. As the oldest female in the class, I push myself to keep up, try harder and, more importantly, not quit.
Between increasing my strength and feeling confident about protecting myself (although I hope I never have to test my skills outside the gym), I’m proud of the risk I took in signing up for the course. I know that defending myself is not about strength; it’s about strategy. At the same time, I’m calmer and less anxious—a benefit my family enjoys. As for my driving, after a recent lunch date, my mom suggested I speed up to at least the speed limit. She didn’t want to be late for her tennis match.
24. What did the author’s family think of her according to paragraph 1
A. She is unreliable. B. She likes taking risks.
C. She is a doer rather than a talker. D. She used to enjoy her comfortable zone.
25. How did the author’s feelings change during her first self-defense class
A. Uncertain →excited →bored B. Curious →excited →confident
C. Uneasy →confused →determined D. Excited →confident →discouraged

A. She often feels upset and lonely.
B. She still drives not too fast.
C. She has ever been attacked outside of the gym.
D. She regrets taking the self-defense classes.
27. What can be the best title for the text
A. More than Self-defense B. Building a Better Future
C. The Fight That Never Ends D. Never Too Old to Learn
C
Machine learning is a way of teaching computers to do tasks. In the past, to do anything, computers depended on detailed, step-by-step instructions written by a person. But with machine learning, computers pick up new skills on their own, using examples or experience. This makes machine learning a powerful form of artificial intelligence, or AI. AI is the ability of a machine to think or learn like a person. AI systems power many kinds of machines—from smartphones to robots.
There are a few types of machine learning. The most common is supervised(监督的) learning. In this method, a computer is fed lots of sorted training data. For example, it may look at many photos of dogs. Each photo might be sorted by the dog’s kind. By studying those photos, the computer learns what each kind of dog looks like. Then, the computer can pick out dog kinds in new, unsorted photos. The more data the computer studies, the better it gets at its task.
Another important kind of machine learning is reinforcement(强化) learning. Using this type of learning is sort of like training your dog to do a trick. The computer learns to achieve some goal by interacting with its environment. When the computer makes a choice that brings it closer to its goal, it gets a virtual reward. Through trial and error, the computer learns to make better choices. This type of machine learning has helped computers master difficult games like Go and StarCraft II. It has also been used to teach self-driving cars how to get around.
Machine learning has helped create technology all around us. It powers language translators and search engines. When your streaming services recommend new shows you might like, that’s machine learning at work. Machine learning systems also organize posts in social media feeds. They even help judge diseases. In many ways, the problem-solving power of machine learning is reshaping the world.
28. What can we know about machine learning from the text？
A. It directs computers to follow programs.
B. It makes computers run under no control.
C. It is a form of artificial intelligence.
D. It is a kind of function of all computers.
29. How can computers learn better in supervised learning？
A. By studying as much data as possible.
B. By following step-by-step instructions.
C. By telling differences between dog kinds.
D. By making as many attempts as possible.
30. What do computers learn in reinforcement learning？
A. Doing tricks. B. Setting goals. C. Making choices. D. Simplifying steps.
31. What is the author’s attitude to machine learning？
A. Uncaring. B. Doubtful. C. Unclear. D. Supportive.
D
If I scratch your back and you scratch mine, then we’re both better off as a result—so goes the principle of reciprocity. As humans, we are familiar with the concept, whether it is by buying rounds of drinks or dealing with diplomats. But do animals also help those who help them The answer may be yes. A paper by Dolivo and Taborsky shows that Norway rats will only give as good as they get.
In their laboratory, Dolivo and Taborsky first trained rats to pull a stick that provided a food item within the reach of a rat in a neighboring cage separated from them by wire mesh(铁丝网).
They then introduced a further treatment in which an experimental rat was placed in a cage with other caged rats on either side. On one side the rat pulled a stick that provided pieces of carrot to the rat in the central cage, while the other pulled a stick that produced banana pieces.
In the following trials the focal rat (the one in the central cage) had the opportunity to repay the other rats using the same stick tool to deliver food items.
Now, the rats had typically turned their noses up at the carrot and showed a strong preference for the more desirable banana. On the basis that the banana-providing rat should be therefore remembered as the superior partner, the authors predicted that in the test phase(阶段) the focal rat would more readily provide help for banana-offering rats than for carrot-offering rats. This proved to be the case: the rats that had provided better help in the past received greater rewards—it seemed that they were behaving reciprocally.
Dolivo and Taborsky’s experiments show that rats can recall the quality of help provided and which rat has provided it, and adjust their behavior so as to invest more time and energy in helping those who helped them. It is apparent that we shouldn’t undervalue the ability of animals to engage in reciprocity.
32. What does the underlined word “reciprocity” probably refer to
A. The act of being kind to other people.
B. A cooperative exchange of favors.
C. A positive attitude to everything.
D. The quality of being generous.
33. What would happen if a rat pulled the stick
A. It would find some food in its own cage.
B. Other rats would be able to enter its cage.
C. Another rat in another cage would get food.
D. It would be able to enter a neighboring cage.
34. Which got more benefit from the focal rat
A. The rats that preferred carrot pieces.
B. The rats that preferred banana pieces.
C. The rats that had provided carrot pieces.
D. The rats that had provided banana pieces.
35. Which of the following might Dolivo and Taborsky agree with
A. Some animals may return others’ help.
B. Norway rats have very poor memories.
C. It is hard to explain the ability of animals.
D. Rats’ behavior is very uncommon.
第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。
As new car prices continue to climb, you can find reliable but cheap used cars for sale. Many are readily available online, but car lots and local auto auctions(拍卖) also provide excellent sources for inexpensive vehicles. Here are the tips.
Search online
36 . Some sites specialize in automotive sales and may contain hundreds of local lists. Private sellers may offer considerably low prices for their cars than a dealer and be more receptive to negotiation. You will find dealer lists on these sites as well.
Visit local auctions
Though many car auctions take place online, you still can find a cheap used car at a specialized auto auction. These auctions, available in many bigger cities, are the same one where local dealers purchase cars for sale. 37 , so check with your local auto auction center to confirm.
38
Many organizations that manage a fleet of vehicles sell their used cars when they remove them from active service. Car rental companies frequently sell late model, relatively low mileage former rental cars for well below the price a dealer would charge for a similar vehicle. For a very cheap used car, consider buying retired police cars and government surplus vehicles. 39 .
Be prepared to negotiate
40 , you likely will have the opportunity to negotiate for lower sales price. When negotiating with a dealer, according to the financial magazine Forbes, you may be able to get the lowest possible price on the last day of the month, a day with poor weather, or late at night on the weekend. Negotiations with a private seller often are more direct and consist of simply offering your ideal and reasonable price.
A. Consider retired vehicles
B. Ask advice from local dealers
C. These cars will help you save a lot
D. Unless you buy your used car in an auction
E. Rules can vary significantly from auction to auction
F. When you find a chance to ask about the local situation
G. Many private individuals start with online classified websites

Dear Henry,
How is everything going Having known that you are keen on how I spent my summer vacation, I’m writing these few lines to share my busy but meaningful experiences with you.
Being a new Senior 2 student, studying undoubtedly takes up most of my routine life. That’s why we did one test after another and attended video conferences almost every day. Consequently, I gained a wide range of profound knowledge and insights, which laid the foundation for my further study. Aside from study, I improved my fitness and well-being through regular exercise, such as running, swimming and climbing the mountain. More importantly, I also did what I hadn’t attempted before during my busy school life, which will never fade away from my memory.
With my summer vacation over, I’m fully prepared for the new semester. I hold the belief that my new school life will be more significant and colorful. What about you Looking forward to your reply!
Yours,
Li Hua
