While taking a look at this city, you may see the best bike sharing in the world. As the second on the planet by size, the Hangzhou Public Bicycle System is one of the most common and useful shares, largely because it s combined with public transportation: a single card can be used in subway，bus， taxi and bike sharing.

It is rightly said that one can share any secret with a true friend. He may know your deepest fears and weaknesses and yet will never take advantage of you. However, keeping a friend’s secrets to yourself and not telling the world is what makes the bond(关系)grow strong and last forever. You need to develop trust and mutual(互相的)understanding before you start sharing secrets with each other. With friends, secret talks never seem to end and it can get really amusing to know what has been going on in your friend’s mind.
There is a certain time in life especially from the teenage years when one starts having a personal periphery(界限) in life and parents are excluded (排斥)from it. It is because there are certain things that they can’t understand and we can’t discuss with them. That is when friends become the best secret sharers. They are the ones to whom one reveals one’s feelings and best kept secrets.
It is a general belief that only girls share secrets. But boys have their own secrets that they discuss with only closest friends. The secret talks can range(变化) from relationships，talks about fights with parents, secret activities and anything that is not supposed to be known to others! If you think secrets are limited to only teenagers, get your facts right! Secrets can be shared at any age and there is no hard and fast rule that secrets are shared only among youngsters.
Sharing secrets with a friend is not just fun, but it also helps to develop a lasting trust in one another. Sometimes, sharing secrets will tell you more about the person. You will come to know whether your friend is reliable and trustworthy and whether it is worth sharing your secrets with them. You can call it a test of friendship.
24. What is an advantage of sharing secrets with a friend?
A. It helps a lot in your study.
B. It leads you to a comfortable life.
C. It makes you popular with other people.
D. It contributes to a long-term mutual belief.
25. What does Paragraph 2 mainly try to show?
A. Parents are always the best people to share secrets with.
B. Teenagers prefer to share secrets with their friends.
C. Parents should build trust with teenagers.
D. Teenagers grow to be independent.
26. The underlined word "reveals " in Paragraph 2 can be best replaced by
A. proves B. tells C. gets D. holds
27. What can be learned about sharing secrets?
A. It’s limited to girls.
B. It follows strict rules.
C. It can happen at any age.
D. It does harm to a strong bond.
C
Unless you are fortunate enough to know an NBA player, Ryan Martin is probably the best basketball player you’ll ever meet. Unlike those who fly up and down the court, however, Martin is forced to take a different approach; he doesn’t have legs.
Martin, a 33-year-old man, is a professional wheelchair basketball player. His achievements have taken him halfway around the world to play in Spain for the last seven years. There he made a comfortable living playing basketball and working with some of the greatest athletes in the world.
A good wheelchair player can make $50,000 a year, while a star can make six figures, said Martin. But he couldn’t see his family for months and European cities were unfriendly to the disabled. He also had to learn Spanish. Martin, however, overcame those drawbacks.
He started by playing basketball when he was 12. It didn’t take long for him to fall in love with the sport and, after graduating from Somers High, he attended Southwest Minnesota State University on a basketball scholarship. In college, he scored over 1,000 points in his career and set several school’s records.
And he works as hard－if not harder－than any other professional athlete. “He destroys me.” said Gina Navarra, who works out with Martin on occasion．“ What he does amazes me．”
Martin also recognizes that, at age 33, he’s in the back end of his career. With that in mind, he has been focusing more and more on his foundation.
“I have 12 brothers and sisters. College gave me a true sense of achievement. The foundation is designed to give those with disabilities the opportunity to realize the dreams that I once had, Martin said.
“I’m not saying that out of a sense of pity,” he said.“I realize how fortunate I am to have achieved what I have. But I want to open doors for people.”
28. What was Ryan Martin’s life like in Spain?
A. Free. B. Boring. C. Difficult. D. Bitter(苦)-sweet.
29. How was Ryan Martin’s performance in college?
A. He stood out in basketball.
B. He failed to make a record.
C. He was weak in his studies.
D. He never won a scholarship.
30. Why did Ryan Martin work for the foundation?
A. To help those in need.
B. To finish his basketball career.
C. To earn more money for his family.
D. To learn basketball skills from other players.
31. Which of the following words best describe Ryan Martin?
A. Honest and responsible.
B .Ambitious and sensitive.
C. Reliable and knowledgeable.
D. Determined and warm-hearted.
D
Alexa is a form of artificial intelligence, or Al for short. Many people start their mornings by asking Alexa for the weather forecast or the latest news. A device (设备)that houses Alexa can also play music from your favorite playlists, keep a shopping list, order takeout food, answer questions, send voice messages and even run“ smart” home controls．
Training AI systems to respond to problems with human-like intelligence—and learn from their mistakes —can take months, or even years. Consider Alexa and similar software, such as Apples Siri. To do the tasks its human owners ask, these systems must make sense of and then respond to sentences such as, “Alexa, play my Ed Sheeran playlist ”or “Siri , what is the capital of India？”
Computers can’t understand language as it is spoken by people. So AI researchers must find a way to help humans communicate with computers. The technology used to get computers to “understand” human speech or text is known as natural language processing. By natural language, computer scientists refer to the way people naturally talk or write. To teach an AI system a task like comprehending a sentence or responding to a person’ s last move in a board game, scientists need to feed it lots of examples.
AlphaGO is an AI system designed by Google that has beaten a human champion, Lee Sedol, at the strategy(策略)board game Go. To train AlphaGo，Google had to show it 30 million Go moves that people had made while playing the game. Then AlphaGo used what it learned to analyze those plays as it played against different versions (版本)of itself. During this practice, the program came up with new moves —ones never seen in games between people.
Computers, software and devices that are powered by AI can do much more, however, than just play board games and music. And one day they could make our life much easier and much more interesting.
32. What does the example of Alexa show?
A. AI may replace humans one day.
B. Al is playing a role in our modern life.
C. AI has been widely used around the world.
D. AI has totally changed people’s bad habits.
33. How do scientists train AI systems?
A. By testing them thousands of times.
B. By teaching them almost everything.
C. By giving them quite a lot of tasks to do.
D. By providing them with large amounts of data.
34. What can we learn about AlphaGo?
A. It has become very skillful and intelligent.
B. It is the most convenient AI system.
C. It avoids making any mistakes.
D. It just follows human orders.
35. What’s the author’s attitude toward AI?
A. Unconcerned. B. Worried. C. Respectful. D. Positive.
