My stay at this hut in the Alps was a truly unforgettable experience in my life. I met some very interesting people there, and even made a few good friends from Spain and Russia. There was an Italian woman, Janice, whose room was next to mine. (17) She didn’t know how to ski, but still went down the slopes. And she got lost in the forest. A few of us went looking for her. We nearly got tired when we finally found her. She sat under a tree, and fell asleep. The very interesting thing was that she didn’t seem scared at all. (18) She told us that she saw a bear not far from the tree. (19) We thought she was seeing things, but on our way back we saw the bear, too. It looked at us from a distance, but made no attempt to come closer. I have to admit I was a bit scared, but Janice seemed perfectly fine. She even waved at the bear. (18) Later, it turned out that she had seen bears before. Her father worked in a circus, and was in charge of training wild animals, (20) like elephants, lions and bears.

It was one of those terribly hot days in Baltimore. Needless to say, it was too hot to do anything outside. But it was also scorching in our apartment. This was 1962, and I would not live in a place with an air conditioner for another ten years. So my brother and I decided to leave the apartment to find someplace indoors. He suggested we could see a movie. It was a brilliant plan.
Movie theaters were one of the few places you could sit all day and — most important — sit in air conditioning. In those days, you could buy one ticket and sit through two movies. Then, the theater would show the same two movies again. If you wanted to, you could sit through them twice. Most people did not do that, but the manager at our theater, Mr. Bellow, did not mind if you did.
That particular day, my brother and I sat through both movies twice, trying to escape the heat. We bought three bags of popcorn and three sodas each. Then, we sat and watched The Music Man followed by The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance. We’d already seen the second movie once before. It had been at the theater since January, because Mr. Bellow loved anything with John Wayne in it.
We left the theater around 8, just before the evening shows began. But we returned the next day and saw the same two movies again, twice more. And we did it the next day too. Finally, on the fourth day, the heat wave broke.
Still, to this day I can sing half the songs in The Music Man and recite half of John Wayne and Jimmy Stewart’s dialogue from The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance! Those memories are some of the few I have of the heat wave of 1962. They’re really memories of the screen, not memories of my life.
24. In which year did the author first live in a place with an air conditioner
A. 1952. B. 1962. C. 1972. D. 1982.
25. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 3 refer to
A. The heat.
B. The theater.
C. The Music Man.
D. The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance.
26. Why did the author and his brother see the same movies several times
A. The two movies were really wonderful.
B. They wanted to avoid the heat outside.
C. The manager of the theater was friendly.
D. They liked the popcorn and the soda at the theater.
27. Which of the following is True according to the last paragraph
A. The author turned out to be a great singer.
B.The author enjoyed the heat wave of 1962.
C. The author’s life has been changed by the two movies.
D. The author considers the experience at the theater unforgettable.
C
Researchers have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) system to help historians renovate the writings and identify when and where they were written.
Many ancient populations used writings, also known as inscriptions (碑文), to document different parts of their lives. The inscriptions have been found on materials such as rock, ceramic (陶瓷) and metal. The writings often contained valuable information about how ancient people lived and how they structured their societies. But in many cases, the objects containing such inscriptions have been damaged over the centuries. This left major parts of the inscriptions missing and difficult to identify and understand. In addition, many of the inscribed objects were moved from areas where they were first created. This makes it difficult for scientists to discover when and where the writings were made.
The new AI-based method serves as a technological tool to help researchers repair missing inscriptions and estimate (估算) the true origins of the records. The researchers, led by Alphabet's AI company DeepMind, call their tool Ithaca. The team said it trained Ithaca on the largest collection of data containing Greek inscriptions. Feeding this data into the system is designed to help the tool use past writings to predict missing letters and words in damaged inscriptions. The researchers reported that in experiments with damaged writings, Ithaca was able to correctly predict missing inscription elements 62 percent of the time. In addition, the tool was 71 percent correct in identifying where the inscriptions first came from. And, the system was able to effectively date writings to within 30 years.
When historians work on their own, the success rate for restoring damaged inscriptions is about 25 percent. But when humans teamed up with Ithaca to assist in their work, the success rate jumped to 72 percent. The team is currently working on other versions of Ithaca trained on other ancient languages. DeepMind has launched (发行) a free, interactive tool based on the system for use by researchers, educators, museum workers and the public.
28．Which can replace the underlined word “renovate” in paragraph 1？
A．Adopt. B．Recover. C．Collect. D．Translate.
29．Which reason for the ancient inscriptions' being hard to recognize is mentioned
A．The wars in the past. B．The development of industry.
C．The objects' being damaged. D．The extinction of language.
30．What conclusion can we draw from the last paragraph
A．Ithaca currently recognizes only English.
B．Ithaca has great market development potential.
C．Ithaca can completely replace historians in the future.
D．Ithaca cannot bring any profit to its development company.
31．What is the best title for the text
A．A Shortcut to Ancient Inscriptions
B．Who Will Be the Historians' Right-Hand Man
C．The Mysterious Contents of Ancient Languages
D．AI Used to Fill in Missing Words in Ancient Writings
D
Summer brings flowers and dirt and barbeque smoke. In the most wintery places, there isn’t much outside on cold days except snow, strong wind and cars warming up. Pine needles(松针), wood smoke and snow—these are the smells of winter, and for people who live with different seasons, wintery weather brings its own set of olfactory(嗅觉) experiences. But why does the cold of winter smell different from the heat of summer
One reason is that odor molecules(气味分子) move much more slowly as the air temperature drops, said Pamela Dalton, an olfactory scientist at the Monell Chemical Senses Center in Philadelphia. That means that there are simply fewer smells to smell on a cold, crisp day than there are on a hot and humid one. It’s the same reason why hot soup smells more than cold soup does and why the garbage truck leaves behind the strongest smells on steamy summer days.
What’s more, our noses don’t work quite well when the surrounding air is cold, Dalton said. In experiments that require biopsies(活组织检查) of olfactory receptors that lie deep inside the nose, researchers at Monell have discovered that the receptors “bury themselves a little more deeply in the nose in winter,” she said, “possibly as a protective response against cold, dry air.”
“There is a strong psychological factor in our sense of smell,” Alan Hirsch, a neurologist and psychiatrist in Chicago, added, “and what we expect to smell has a big influence on what we actually smell.” In The Invalid’s Story by Mark Twain, for example, a man is stuck on a train next to what he thinks is a rotting(腐烂的) dead body but is actually a box of cheese that smells extremely unpleasant. So strongly affected by the smell, he spends too long looking for fresh air on the freezing platform and develops a fever that ends up killing him. “What you think of a smell will have powerful effects on you whether you like it or whatever you think it to be,” Hirsch said. “So, if you go outside in winter and you are used to smelling snow or nuts in the fire or whatever you happen to smell outside, that’s what you will interpret smells to be.”
To cope with lack of smells in winter, many people try to burn more candles with pleasant smells, cook more sweet stews(炖菜)and bake more cookies, which creates a greater contrast between indoor and outdoor environments. “You’re probably fond of indoor smells in winter,” Dalton said. “Doors are closed, and windows are closed. We concentrate on the smells of cooking and living.”
32. According to the second paragraph, Pamela Dalton will probably agree that ____.
A. there are not many smells available to be smelled in winter
B. hot soup is more popular with people in winter than cold soup
C. garbage truck is easier to break down in cold winter
D. air temperature affects the direction in which smells spread greatly
33. The author used the story written by Mark Twain to show that ______.
A. one can easily feel terrible smells in a small space
B. no one can survive when there is lack of fresh air
C. one’s mind and thoughts can affect his sense of smell
D. one’s opinion on smells is quite different from others’
34. Which of the following is NOT a measure people take to deal with lack of smells in winter
A. Closing windows. B. Cooking stews.
C. Burning candles. D. Baking cookies.
35. How is the passage organized
(P: Paragraph)
A. B. C. D.

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。
As a young boy, I was innocent. Every vacation I looked forward to two things-----seeing my grandpa and hearing his wonderful stories. My grandpa was a very good storyteller. He had worked various jobs when he was young and wove (编织)his adventures and misadventures into fantastic tales. These wonderful tales colored my childhood. Childhood Anticipation------excited and happy
As I grew up, I had to admit that Grandpa's stories went on a little long, even a little boring and gradually lost their magic. However, not wanting to upset him, my brother and I would sometimes take turns sitting in the living room, listening to grandpa tell his stories.
When my grandpa was approaching 91, he suffered from serious memory-loss. It was kind of what doctors called dementia (痴呆), probably the earliest stage of Alzheimer's disease (阿尔兹海默症). Following the doctor's directions, we moved him into a Sunrise Assisted Living Community, where he could get a better care. After that, grandpa hardly came to our house. Sympathy and Care
One weekend before my grandpa's birthday, I came to visit him. Seeing grandpa sitting in his armchair, dull-looking, I was filled with mixed feelings. I wheeled grandpa to the sunshine in the courtyard, talking to him. He couldn't express himself clearly, but I listened to him patiently and carefully just as I used to be a little boy. Sadness and Loss
It was then that I noticed a box with some old photos in it. I picked one up, in which my brother, several boys in our neighborhood, and I were playing basketball, wearing basketball jerseys (球衣), with grandpa cheering us on ten years before. Nostalgia and Warmth

1.词数 150 左右：

My mind flashed back to those beautiful memories.
A great idea for grandpa’s birthday came to my mind.
