At the end of 2019,I learned that Here After AI, whose goal is to let the living communicate with the dead, was looking for applicants of its new AI project. Interested in what it was promising, I applied to experiment the software on my very-much-alive parents.
At first, I thought it would be just a fun project to see what was technologically possible. Then their health condition added some urgency to the experiment. I was frightened that my parents might die since my father had been diagnosed with cancer and my mother was recently developing symptoms of early Alzheimer’s disease, and that with the distance between us, I might never have the chance to say goodbye.
The first step was an interview. My parents were asked questions by a techician for hours-about everything from their earliest memories to what they believe will happen after they die. Whether through illness-generated concerns or a willingness to humor their daughter, my parents put up zero resistance. The company then took their responses and started to create the voice assistants. A few months later, my virtual parents arrived via email attachment.
When I communicated with them through the app on my phone, my hands were shaking. I hadn’t seen my actual, real parents for six months. They told me personal stories I’d never heard. They gave me life advice and told me things about their childhoods, as well as my own. It was mesmerizing.
Personally, I have mixed feelings about my experiment. I’m glad to have my virtual parents. They’ve enabled me to learn new things about my parents, and it’s comforting to think that those softwares will be there even when my parents aren’t. On the other hand, I can’t help but find it sad that it took a stranger interviewing my parents for me to properly appreciate the complex people they are. But I feel lucky to have had the chance to grasp that-and to still have the precious opportunity to spend more time with them and learn more about them, face to face, no technology involved.

We all know fresh is best when it comes to food. However, most produce at the store went through weeks of travel and covered hundreds of miles before reaching the table. While farmer's markets are a solid choice to reduce the journey, Babylon Micro-Farm(BMF) shortens it even more.
BMF is an indoor garden system. It can be set up for a family. Additionally, it could serve a larger audience such as a hospital, restaurant or school. The innovative design requires little effort to achieve a reliable weekly supply of fresh greens.
Specifically, it's a farm that relies on new technology. By connecting through the Cloud, BMF is remotely monitored. Also, there is a convenient app that provides growing data in real time. Because the system is automated, it significantly reduces the amount of water needed to grow plants. Rather than watering rows of soil, the system provides just the right amount to each plant. After harvest, users simply replace the plants with a new pre-seeded pod(容器) to get the next growth cycle started.
Moreover, having a system in the same building where it's eaten means zero emissions(排放) from transporting plants from soil to salad. In addition, there's no need for pesticides and other chemicals that pollute traditional farms and the surrounding environment.
BMF employees live out sustainability in their everyday lives. About half of them walk or bike to work. Inside the office, they encourage recycling and waste reduction by limiting garbage cans and avoiding single-use plastic. "We are passionate about reducing waste, carbon and chemicals in our environment," said a BMF employee.
8．What can be learned about BMF from paragraph 1
A. It guarantees the variety of food. B. It requires day-to-day care.
C. It cuts the farm-to-table distance. D. It relies on farmer's markets.
9．What information does the convenient app offer
A. Real-time weather changes. B. Current condition of the plants.
C. Chemical pollutants in the soil. D. Availability of pre-seeded pods.
10．What can be concluded about BMF employees
A. They have a great passion for sports.
B. They are devoted to community service.
C. They are fond of sharing daily experiences.
D. They have a strong environmental awareness.
11．What does the text mainly talk about
A. BMF's major strengths. B. BMF's general management.
C. BMF's global influence. D. BMF's technical standards.
As humans, we might believe that we are the smartest and perhaps the only creatures in the world capable of having feelings and subjective experience, but is this really the case A new study finds that bumblebees (大黄蜂) like to play. They like to roll around small wooden balls with no apparent motivation—it likely makes them feel good.
Previous evidence suggests that bees have positive and negative emotion-like states usually when they are given food rewards to test their abilities. However, in an experiment of the new study, some researchers had trained bumblebees to roll balls into a target in exchange for a sweet treat. They noticed that sometimes bumblebees would roll the balls outside of the experiment area for no reward.
This observation gave rise to new questions: What are they doing Why Is this random or intentional
To answer these questions, the researchers set up more experiments. In the latest experiment, they watched 45 bumblebees in an enclosed area where they could walk through a clear path to reach a feeding area, or they could go off the path into areas with wooden balls. They found the bumblebees went out of their way to sit on the balls or push them. Each rolled the balls between one and 117 times during the experiment.
The researchers say that because they did it repeatedly with no food payoff, it suggests that the ball rolling was rewarding.
“The behavior was voluntary,” says study first-author Samadi Galpayage. “Bees have a reputation for being hard workers, but the prospect of bees engaging in something like play is really novel and exciting because it shows that bees may experience pleasure and don’t only carry out duties that are strictly essential for immediate survival.”
Galpayage adds, “Personally, I find this behavior fascinating because it tells us that bumblebees, like many other animals, are more than little robotic beings, but have a richer behavior and life than we would have previously thought.”
12．What is probably humans’ typical view on bumblebees according to paragraph 1
A.They have no subjective feelings. B.They are friendly to human beings.
C.They like rolling balls for pleasure. D.They are smarter than other creatures.
13．What did bumblebees do in the latest experiment of the new study
A.They rolled their food around. B.They played with the balls.
C.They stayed in the feeding area. D.They shared food with each other.
14．How does Samadi Galpayage feel about bumblebees’ behavior in the new study
A.Calm. B.Regretful. C.Unconcerned. D.Amazed.
15．Which of the following can serve as the best title of the text
A.Bumblebees Are Hard Workers B.Bumblebees Roll Balls for Food
C.Bumblebees Are Selfless Insects D.Bumblebees Probably Enjoy Playing

When I suggested my 13-year-old try tennis, she quickly turned me down. “I’m not 1 , so stop trying to get me to do sports,” Julianna said.

I held back the 10 to tell her she was 11 the racket too close to the neck or to step more into her forehand.

Her brother Mittsu used to make sandcastle and Oshima and her sister Osheen collected the sea shells. Her father always shouted, “Come home, it's late”, but they would not listen.

One day all of a sudden something terrible happened. A violent tsunami came and took the entire country in its grip. It was a huge natural disaster. Most of the houses were washed away. The cities and towns were flooded with water. Oshima’s town was near the sea and so the tsunami flooded her town as well. Her house was washed and they lost all their belongings.

Their life had turned upside down. Oshima could see the sadness visible in her parents' eyes.

32．答案：①a②weighing③to④consists⑤seen⑥survival⑦significantly⑧endangered⑨which⑩importance
解析：①考查冠词。句意：金丝猴是一种独特的物种，只生活在中国中部和西南部的山区森林中。泛指一个，所以用不定冠词，unique是以辅音音素开头的，故填a。
②考查现在分词。句意：金丝猴是一种大型灵长类动物，雄性重达25公斤，雌性约15公斤。此处为with复合结构，with的宾语和weigh"重达"之间是主动关系，所以用现在分词作宾补，故填weighing。
③考查介词。句意：它们有厚厚的皮毛，帮助它们适应寒冷的山区环境。此处为动词短语adapt to"适应"，to为介词，故填to。
④考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意：它们的食物主要是树叶、花朵和水果。描述现状，所以用一般现在时态，consist of"由……组成"，不用于被动语态，主语为不可数名词diet，适应谓语用第三人称单数形式，故填consists。
⑤考查过去分词。句意：这只猴子也以其顽皮的天性而闻名，经常看到它在树枝上荡来荡去，互相玩耍。see和主语the monkey之间是被动关系，所以用过去分词作状语，故填seen。
⑥考查不可数名词。句意：不幸的是，金丝猴的生存面临着许多威胁。作介词的宾语，所以用名词survival"幸存"，为不可数名词，故填survival。
⑦考查副词。句意：森林砍伐和农业造成的栖息地丧失大大减少了猴子的生活空间。修饰动词，所以用副词，故填significantly。
⑧考查形容词。句意：此外，捕猎它们的皮毛和身体部位对这些濒临灭绝的生物构成了持续的威胁。作定语修饰名词，所以用形容词endangered"濒危的"，故填endangered。
⑨考查非限制性定语从句。句意：在它们的活动范围内建立了许多保护区，包括自然保护区和国家公园，为猴子提供了安全的庇护所。重述前面句子，在非限制性定语从句中作主语，所以用which引导，故填which。
⑩考查不可数名词。句意：毫无疑问，保护它们是至关重要的。作介词of的宾语，所以用名词importance"重要性"，为不可数名词，be of importance"很重要"，故填importance。

34．答案：
One day Oshima saw two little children playing in the camp without any trace of sadness on their face. Oshima started playing with them and while talking the kids told her that they had lost their entire family in the disaster. The kids said, “We used to cry a lot but now we have stopped complaining and try to be happy for whatever we are left with.” Oshima was shocked. She became silent. She had her family by her side, which was indeed the most important thing for her.
A new ray of hope filled her spirits, making her cheer up. She wholeheartedly thanked God for keeping them safe. Oshima had learned a new meaning of satisfaction and the small children taught her a very big lesson in a child's play. The setting sun was so beautiful, throwing the shiny rays on the magnificent sea. Oshima was viewing the sea with a changed perspective. From that moment on, she was no more a teary eyed but a grateful soul.

At the end of 2019,I learned that Here After AI, whose goal is to let the living communicate with the dead, was looking for applicants of its new AI project. Interested in what it was promising, I applied to experiment the software on my very-much-alive parents.
At first, I thought it would be just a fun project to see what was technologically possible. Then their health condition added some urgency to the experiment. I was frightened that my parents might die since my father had been diagnosed with cancer and my mother was recently developing symptoms of early Alzheimer’s disease, and that with the distance between us, I might never have the chance to say goodbye.
The first step was an interview. My parents were asked questions by a techician for hours-about everything from their earliest memories to what they believe will happen after they die. Whether through illness-generated concerns or a willingness to humor their daughter, my parents put up zero resistance. The company then took their responses and started to create the voice assistants. A few months later, my virtual parents arrived via email attachment.
When I communicated with them through the app on my phone, my hands were shaking. I hadn’t seen my actual, real parents for six months. They told me personal stories I’d never heard. They gave me life advice and told me things about their childhoods, as well as my own. It was mesmerizing.
Personally, I have mixed feelings about my experiment. I’m glad to have my virtual parents. They’ve enabled me to learn new things about my parents, and it’s comforting to think that those softwares will be there even when my parents aren’t. On the other hand, I can’t help but find it sad that it took a stranger interviewing my parents for me to properly appreciate the complex people they are. But I feel lucky to have had the chance to grasp that-and to still have the precious opportunity to spend more time with them and learn more about them, face to face, no technology involved.

We all know fresh is best when it comes to food. However, most produce at the store went through weeks of travel and covered hundreds of miles before reaching the table. While farmer's markets are a solid choice to reduce the journey, Babylon Micro-Farm(BMF) shortens it even more.
BMF is an indoor garden system. It can be set up for a family. Additionally, it could serve a larger audience such as a hospital, restaurant or school. The innovative design requires little effort to achieve a reliable weekly supply of fresh greens.
Specifically, it's a farm that relies on new technology. By connecting through the Cloud, BMF is remotely monitored. Also, there is a convenient app that provides growing data in real time. Because the system is automated, it significantly reduces the amount of water needed to grow plants. Rather than watering rows of soil, the system provides just the right amount to each plant. After harvest, users simply replace the plants with a new pre-seeded pod(容器) to get the next growth cycle started.
Moreover, having a system in the same building where it's eaten means zero emissions(排放) from transporting plants from soil to salad. In addition, there's no need for pesticides and other chemicals that pollute traditional farms and the surrounding environment.
BMF employees live out sustainability in their everyday lives. About half of them walk or bike to work. Inside the office, they encourage recycling and waste reduction by limiting garbage cans and avoiding single-use plastic. "We are passionate about reducing waste, carbon and chemicals in our environment," said a BMF employee.
8．What can be learned about BMF from paragraph 1
A. It guarantees the variety of food. B. It requires day-to-day care.
C. It cuts the farm-to-table distance. D. It relies on farmer's markets.
9．What information does the convenient app offer
A. Real-time weather changes. B. Current condition of the plants.
C. Chemical pollutants in the soil. D. Availability of pre-seeded pods.
10．What can be concluded about BMF employees
A. They have a great passion for sports.
B. They are devoted to community service.
C. They are fond of sharing daily experiences.
D. They have a strong environmental awareness.
11．What does the text mainly talk about
A. BMF's major strengths. B. BMF's general management.
C. BMF's global influence. D. BMF's technical standards.
As humans, we might believe that we are the smartest and perhaps the only creatures in the world capable of having feelings and subjective experience, but is this really the case A new study finds that bumblebees (大黄蜂) like to play. They like to roll around small wooden balls with no apparent motivation—it likely makes them feel good.
Previous evidence suggests that bees have positive and negative emotion-like states usually when they are given food rewards to test their abilities. However, in an experiment of the new study, some researchers had trained bumblebees to roll balls into a target in exchange for a sweet treat. They noticed that sometimes bumblebees would roll the balls outside of the experiment area for no reward.
This observation gave rise to new questions: What are they doing Why Is this random or intentional
To answer these questions, the researchers set up more experiments. In the latest experiment, they watched 45 bumblebees in an enclosed area where they could walk through a clear path to reach a feeding area, or they could go off the path into areas with wooden balls. They found the bumblebees went out of their way to sit on the balls or push them. Each rolled the balls between one and 117 times during the experiment.
The researchers say that because they did it repeatedly with no food payoff, it suggests that the ball rolling was rewarding.
“The behavior was voluntary,” says study first-author Samadi Galpayage. “Bees have a reputation for being hard workers, but the prospect of bees engaging in something like play is really novel and exciting because it shows that bees may experience pleasure and don’t only carry out duties that are strictly essential for immediate survival.”
Galpayage adds, “Personally, I find this behavior fascinating because it tells us that bumblebees, like many other animals, are more than little robotic beings, but have a richer behavior and life than we would have previously thought.”
12．What is probably humans’ typical view on bumblebees according to paragraph 1
A.They have no subjective feelings. B.They are friendly to human beings.
C.They like rolling balls for pleasure. D.They are smarter than other creatures.
13．What did bumblebees do in the latest experiment of the new study
A.They rolled their food around. B.They played with the balls.
C.They stayed in the feeding area. D.They shared food with each other.
14．How does Samadi Galpayage feel about bumblebees’ behavior in the new study
A.Calm. B.Regretful. C.Unconcerned. D.Amazed.
15．Which of the following can serve as the best title of the text
A.Bumblebees Are Hard Workers B.Bumblebees Roll Balls for Food
C.Bumblebees Are Selfless Insects D.Bumblebees Probably Enjoy Playing

When I suggested my 13-year-old try tennis, she quickly turned me down. “I’m not 1 , so stop trying to get me to do sports,” Julianna said.

Her brother Mittsu used to make sandcastle and Oshima and her sister Osheen collected the sea shells. Her father always shouted, “Come home, it's late”, but they would not listen. The seaside was like their second home. At house also, they were a happy family who always laughed and played and had no problems to bother for.
One day all of a sudden something terrible happened. A violent tsunami came and took the entire country in its grip. It was a huge natural disaster. Most of the houses were washed away. The cities and towns were flooded with water. Oshima’s town was near the sea and so the tsunami flooded her town as well. Her house was washed and they lost all their belongings.
Her grandmother Midori cried and cried and was totally shocked. She has not seen such destruction in her whole life. They were homeless. Oshima wept and wept and complained that why a violent tsunami hit her city. She was very angry.
The government shifted them to a refugee (难民) camp where many families shared the living space. Helicopters dropped food packets and they had to stand in long queues even for drinking water. Their life had turned upside down. Oshima could see the sadness visible in her parents' eyes.

32．答案：①a②weighing③to④consists⑤seen⑥survival⑦significantly⑧endangered⑨which⑩importance
解析：①考查冠词。句意：金丝猴是一种独特的物种，只生活在中国中部和西南部的山区森林中。泛指一个，所以用不定冠词，unique是以辅音音素开头的，故填a。
②考查现在分词。句意：金丝猴是一种大型灵长类动物，雄性重达25公斤，雌性约15公斤。此处为with复合结构，with的宾语和weigh"重达"之间是主动关系，所以用现在分词作宾补，故填weighing。
③考查介词。句意：它们有厚厚的皮毛，帮助它们适应寒冷的山区环境。此处为动词短语adapt to"适应"，to为介词，故填to。
④考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意：它们的食物主要是树叶、花朵和水果。描述现状，所以用一般现在时态，consist of"由……组成"，不用于被动语态，主语为不可数名词diet，适应谓语用第三人称单数形式，故填consists。
⑤考查过去分词。句意：这只猴子也以其顽皮的天性而闻名，经常看到它在树枝上荡来荡去，互相玩耍。see和主语the monkey之间是被动关系，所以用过去分词作状语，故填seen。
⑥考查不可数名词。句意：不幸的是，金丝猴的生存面临着许多威胁。作介词的宾语，所以用名词survival"幸存"，为不可数名词，故填survival。
⑦考查副词。句意：森林砍伐和农业造成的栖息地丧失大大减少了猴子的生活空间。修饰动词，所以用副词，故填significantly。
⑧考查形容词。句意：此外，捕猎它们的皮毛和身体部位对这些濒临灭绝的生物构成了持续的威胁。作定语修饰名词，所以用形容词endangered"濒危的"，故填endangered。
⑨考查非限制性定语从句。句意：在它们的活动范围内建立了许多保护区，包括自然保护区和国家公园，为猴子提供了安全的庇护所。重述前面句子，在非限制性定语从句中作主语，所以用which引导，故填which。
⑩考查不可数名词。句意：毫无疑问，保护它们是至关重要的。作介词of的宾语，所以用名词importance"重要性"，为不可数名词，be of importance"很重要"，故填importance。

34．答案：
One day Oshima saw two little children playing in the camp without any trace of sadness on their face. Oshima started playing with them and while talking the kids told her that they had lost their entire family in the disaster. The kids said, “We used to cry a lot but now we have stopped complaining and try to be happy for whatever we are left with.” Oshima was shocked. She became silent. She had her family by her side, which was indeed the most important thing for her.
A new ray of hope filled her spirits, making her cheer up. She wholeheartedly thanked God for keeping them safe. Oshima had learned a new meaning of satisfaction and the small children taught her a very big lesson in a child's play. The setting sun was so beautiful, throwing the shiny rays on the magnificent sea. Oshima was viewing the sea with a changed perspective. From that moment on, she was no more a teary eyed but a grateful soul.
