Proudly
reading
my
words,
I
glanced
around
the
room,
only
to
find
my
classmates
bearing
big
smiles
on
their
faces
and
tears
in
their
eyes.
Confused,
I
glanced
toward
my
stone faced
teacher.
Having
no
choice,
I
slowly
raised
the
report
I
had
read
carefully,
hoping
to
hide
myself.
“What
could
be
causing
everyone
to
act
this
way?”
Quickly,
I
flashed
back
to
the
day
Miss
Lancelot
gave
me
the
task.
This
was
the
first
real
task
I
received
in
my
new
school.
It
seemed
simple:
go
on
the
Internet
and
find
information
about
a
man
named
George
Washington.
Since
my
idea
of
history
came
from
an
ancient
teacher
in
my
home
country,
I
had
never
heard
of
that
name
before.
As
I
searched
the
name
of
this
fellow,
it
became
evident
that
there
were
two
people
bearing
the
same
name
who
looked
completely
different!
One
invented
hundreds
of
uses
for
peanuts,
while
the
other
led
some
sort
of
army
across
America.
I
stared
at
the
screen,
wondering
which
one
my
teacher
meant.
I
called
my
grandfather
for
a
golden
piece
of
advice:
flip
(掷)
a
coin.
Heads—the
commander,
and
tails—the
peanuts
guy.
Ah!
Tails,my
report
would
be
about
the
great
man
who
invented
peanut
butter,
George
Washington
Carver.
Weeks
later,
standing
before
this
unfriendly
class,
I
was
totally
lost.
Oh
well,
I
lowered
the
paper
and
sat
down
at
my
desk,
burning
to
find
out
what
I
had
done
wrong.
As
a
classmate
began
his
report,
it
all
became
clear,“My
report
is
on
George
Washington,
the
man
who
started
the
American
Revolution.”
The
whole
world
became
quiet!
How
could
I
know
that
she
meant
that
George
Washington
Obviously,
my
grade
was
awful.
Heartbroken
but
fearless,
I
decided
to
turn
this
around.
I
talked
to
Miss
Lancelot,
but
she
insisted:
No
re dos;
no
new
grade.
I
felt
that
the
punishment
was
not
fair,
and
I
believed
I
deserved
a
second
chance.
Consequently,
I
threw
myself
heartily
into
my
work
for
the
rest
of
the
school
year.
Ten
months
later,
that
chance
unfolded
as
I
found
myself
sitting
in
the
headmaster's
office
with
my
grandfather,
now
having
an
entirely
different
conversation.
I
smiled
and
flashed
back
to
the
embarrassing
moment
at
the
beginning
of
the
year
as
the
headmaster
informed
me
of
my
opinion
to
skip
the
sixth
grade.
Justice
is
sweet!
4.What

his
report

C.Boring.
D.Puzzling.
5.Why

the
task

American
history.
B.He
followed
the
advice
and
flipped
a
coin.
C.He
forgot
his
teacher's
instructions.
D.He
was
not
familiar
with
the
new
school.

in

D.ready
7.In

end,

author

around
________.
A.by

C
You
use
her
as
a
shoulder
to
cry
on.
She
texts
you
back
with
casual
jokes.
But
she,
Xiaoice,
is
only
a
virtual
chatbot.
Xiaoice,
Microsoft’s
latest
artificial
intelligence
robot,
was
briefly
released
in
2014,
and
returned
to
WeChat
in
2015,
where
she
became
a
big
hit.
Millions
of
young
Chinese
now
exchange
messages
with
her
daily,
The
New
York
Times
reported.
On
WeChat,
Xiaoice
is
an
official
account.
After
following
it,
users
can
start
text-based
conversations
with
Xiaoice.
“Her
incredible
learning
ability
was
why
people
loved
to
talk
with
Xiaoice,”
Liu
Jinchang,
a
researcher
at
High-tech
Research
and
Development
Center
under
the
Ministry
of
Science
and
Technology,
told
China
Daily.
Apart
from
her
ability
to
identify
photos
and
send
emojis(表情符号)
in
conversations,
Xiaoice
gains
45
percent
of
her
knowledge
from
interacting
with
users,
China
Daily
reported.
Chatbot
programs
first
appeared
in
the
mid-1960s
in
the
US.
Driven
by
top
tech
companies,
they
are
becoming
smarter
and
more
common.
For
instance,
IBM’s
latest
artificial
intelligence
program
served
as
an
academic
consultant
at
Australia’s
Deakin
University,
answering
students’
questions
about
course
schedules
and
financial
aid.
Apple’s
Siri
and
Amazon’
s
Alexa
have
been
used
as
voice
assistants
who
can
read
news,
play
music
and
even
make
jokes
for
their
users.
These
programs
are
expected
to
move
beyond
smartphones,
into
televisions,
cars
and
living
rooms.
The
New
York
Times
pointed
out.
However,
it
may
take
decades
before
scientists
develop
a
“Samantha”,
the
advanced
chatbot
seen
in
the
fiction
film
Her.
In
the
film,
Samantha
sparks
a
romantic
relationship
with
her
user
played
by
US
actor
Joaquin
Phoenix.
Many
viewers
were
enthusiastic
about
this
fantasy
of
virtual
soul
mates.

Telepathy
(心灵感应)
is
the
ability
to
communicate
without
the
use
of
the
five
senses.
It's
an
instinct
(本能)
which
can
be
woken
up
in
times
of
emergency
or
need.
When
we
feel
that
something
is
happening
or
about
to
happen
by
instinct,we're
using
resources
within
the
unconscious
(潜意识的)
mind.
When
the
resources
of
two
persons'
unconscious
minds
link
together
into
the
same
frequency
(频率),we
call
it
telepathy.
We
can
either
send
or
receive
telepathy.
If
you
know
who
is
calling
before
you
answer
the
ringing
phone,you
are
probably
a
good
receiver.
If
you
think
of
a
person
and
he/she
calls
you,you
are
most
likely
to
be
better
at
sending.
You
can
easily
put
your
ability
to
the
test.
Thinking
of
somebody
and
wish
him
or
her
to
contact
you.
Be
patient.
The
other
person
may
not
be
a
good
receiver,but
they
should
contact
you
much
earlier
than
would
normally
be
expected.
Or
whenever
the
phone
rings,try
‘feeling’
who
is
contacting
you.
Don't
guess,but
try
to
feel
it
with
your
mind.
However,if
neither
of
these
works
for
you,that
doesn't
mean
that
you
have
no
ability
of
telepathy.
As
mentioned
earlier,telepathy
is
most
likely
to
turn
up
in
case
of
emergency.
Telepathy
dreams
often
contain
telepathic
messages.
Two
people
may
both
dream
of
the
other
and
find
that
their
dreams
have
a
clear
connection.
These
people
are
probably
linking
to
each
other's
unconscious
mind.
Telepathy
&
relationship.
The
more
people
spend
time
together,the
more
likely
they
are
to
be
able
to
link
up
to
the
other's
mind,especially
when
separated.
There
are
two
reasons
for
this.
One
is
that
they
understand
the
other's
mind
through
time
spent
together;the
other
is
that
there
is
usually
a
strong
desire
to
communicate.
A
mother
will
often
sense
that
her
child
is
in
danger.
This
is
due
to
the
child's
eagerly
wanting
his
or
her
mother,knowing
that
this
is
the
person
who
would
always
want
to
be
there
for
them,and
the
mother's
deep
desire
to
protect
her
child
from
harm.
12.
Telepathy
happens
when
one
________.
A.has
a
similar
dream
with
another
person.
B.is
good
at
guessing
C.wants
to
call
his/her
best
friend
D.
doesn't
know
a
stranger
13.
Which
of
the
following
is
TRUE
according
to
the
passage
A.The
more
people
separate,the
more
likely
that
telepathy
will
occur
in
their
life.
B.Telepathy
occurs
when
people
make
use
of
their
five
senses.
C.One
is
better
at
sending
than
receiving
telepathy
if
one
receives
a
friend’s
call
as
one
wishes.
D.Telepathy
happens
when
people
live
far
away
and
have
no
chance
to
see
one
another
again.
14.
Which
of
the
following
belongs
to
telepathy
A.Your
action
in
your
dream.
B.People's
communication
over
the
telephone.
C.A
mother's
sense
of
her
child
being
in
danger.
D.A
couple's
long
separation.

Which
one
can
be
the
title
of
the
passage

Many
of
us
deal
with
the
rush
every
morning
in
preparation
for
work
or
school,
but
it
doesn't
have
to
be
this
way.
With
a
little
time
management,
these
steps
can
help
you
cut
down
on
your
morning
stress.
Create
an
evening
preparation
routine
16
These
simple
tasks
will
take
you
less
than
30
minutes
to
complete
each
evening
and
will
save
you
a
huge
headache
every
morning.
Get
a
good
night's
sleep
Make
sure
you
go
to
bed
at
a
reasonable
hour
to
allow
enough
time
for
a
healthy
night's
sleep.
Most
people
require
between
seven
and
eight
hours'
sleep
each
night.
If
needed,
set
a
bedtime
reminder
alarm
on
your
alarm
clock.
17
Wake
up
30
minutes
earlier
An
extra
30
minutes
in
the
morning
will
make
a
difference.
As
long
as
you
get
to
bed
on
time,
waking
up
30
minutes
earlier
should
seem
natural
after
just
a
few
days.
18
Plan
a
realistic
day
Writing
things
down
means
you
don't
have
to
worry
about
forgetting
to
do
them.
19
Write
down
anything
that
cannot
be
put
off
to
following
day.
20
Getting
up
to
face
a
new
day
is
far
more
satisfying
when
you
have
something
to
look
forward
to.
Make
sure
you
manage
your
time
better
so
that
you
have
time
to
do
something
you
love
on
a
daily
basis.
A.Morning
stress
is
very
common.

something
you
love
daily.

阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出可以填人空白处的最佳选项。
While
I
was
waiting
in
line
at
a
coffee
shop
earlier,
a
woman
drove
alongside
the
queue
in
a
mobility
scooter
(踏板车).
There
was
only
a
21
space
between
the
line
of
people
and
the
tables,
which
she
22
to
drive
along.
She
drove
over
my
foot
and
didn’t
23
saying
nothing
at
all.
I
got
annoyed
and
expected
she
would
have
24
,
but
then
I
just
decided
to
25
it
and
got
down
to
selecting
which
pastry
(点心)
to
go
with
my
coffee.
The
lady
and
I
ended
up
sitting
at
adjacent
(邻近的)
tables.
She
was
on
the
end
of
a
row
so
that
she
could
park
her
__26
.
After
about
half
an
hour,
when
she
had
27
her
coffee,
she
got
up
and
back
onto
her
scooter.
It

She
tried
to
turn
the
key
several
times
29
she
telephoned
the
place
she
purchased
it
from.
An
engineer
30
within
5
minutes.
The
place
must
have
been
a
local
place.
I
couldn’t
__31_
overhearing
their
conversation,
and
it
turned
out
that
she
had
just
32
the
scooter
that
morning.
This
was
her
very
first
outing
in
it.
She
felt
really
33
about
driving
it.
34
,
she
wasn’t
used
to
its
speed,
nor
its
35
,
and
this
combination
made
it
quite
36
to
drive
it
through
narrow
gaps.
Suddenly,
I
felt
37
for
the
lady.
It
really
didn’t
38
me
at
all
that
she’d
driven
over
my
foot.
I
had
made
an
assumption,
39
,
that
a
person
doing
that
should
apologize.
Next
time
you’re
about
to
40
someone,
pause
for
a
second
and
remind
yourself
that
people
have
judged
you
without
knowing
what
was
going
on
in
your
mind
or
your
life.

第二节
语法填空(共10小题;每小题1.5分,满分15分)

A
man
looking
at
his
Smartphone
while
walking
across
a
railway
41
(have)a
close
knock
on
Oct
22.
He
was
so
42
(absorb)
in
his
Smartphone
that
he
didn’t
see
a
train
approaching
until
it
brushed
past
him,
43
(throw)
him
to
the
ground.
This
should
serve
44
a
warning
that
people
should
be
aware
of
their
surroundings,
especially
45
crossing
roads.
__46
(1ucky),
the
man
survived,
but
the
incident
forced
the
driver
47
(stop)
the
train.
An
l8-minute
delay
followed
the
incident,
48
led
to
a
break
in
the
running
of
other
trains
on
the
route.
The
Smartphone
49
(addict)
has
spread
like
an
infectious
disease.
It’s
evident
that
it
will
do
great
harm
to
society.
What’s
even
50
(bad),
some
addicts
become
impatient
with
relatives
and
friends.
Some
people
blame
the
Smartphone
for
the
sad
story,
yet
in
fact
people’s
weakening
self-control
and
self-discipline
are
to
blame.
