Google's new camera, called Clips, is a small, smart device. It comes with a case that has a clip (夹子), but it's not designed to be worn on your clothing. Most interestingly, it uses artificial intelligence to take photography out of your hands so it can capture moments on its own.
This roughly 2?inch by 2?inch camera, with a three?hour battery life and Gorilla Glass for toughness, is intended for candid moments, like when a child does something cute that may happen too quickly for you to pull out your smartphone.
Onboard the Clips device, it uses machine learning algorithms (计算程序) to help capture scenes. Those algorithms include face recognition. “Once it learns that there's a face you see frequently, it'll try to get nice photos of those faces,” said Juston Payne, the device's product manager. And they also want it to recognize facial expressions, which involved “training it to know what happiness looks like”. The Google team also trained it to recognize what not to shoot—like when a child's hand is over the lens, or if it is tossed in a dark purse.
The only way to see the images is by connecting the camera with your phone, as it has no screen for viewing or editing.
Were people concerned it could seem strange? Yes, Payne admitted. But they said they addressed that by making it obvious what it is. A green light on the front signals that it is on. Besides, unlike a camera meant to monitor your home, it is not connected to the Internet.
“This product is only possible because of the way that silicon has advanced,” Payne said, noting that it was only in the past year or so that they could squeeze the technology down into a device this size. Going forward, we're likely to get more assistance from the artificial intelligence packed into our apps and gadgets (小装置).
1.What is the most outstanding feature of Clips?
A.It is equipped with tough glass.
B.It enables easy Internet access.
C.It allows of hands?free photography.
D.It can be worn on your clothing.
2.Which of the following can replace the underlined word “candid” in Paragraph 2?
A.Short. B.Touching.
C.Unforgettable. D.Embarrassing.
3.What makes Clips a reality according to Juston Payne?
A.The popularity of the Internet.
B.The advance in technology.
C.The rise of the smartphone industry.
D.The reduction in the price of lens.

Farmer John and Farmer Bob were neighbours. For more than 30 years, they had been getting along very well.
Then their good relationship broke. It began with a small thing, then bitter words, and then weeks of silence. One morning Farmer John woke up to find a stream between the two farms. “It must be Bob,” thought John.
Then one day there was a knock at John's door. He opened it to find a carpenter (木匠) standing in the doorway.
“I'm looking for a few days' work,” said the carpenter.
“I do have a job for you,” said John. “Look across the stream at that farm. That's my neighbour Bob's. He dug a stream between the two farms. I want you to build a fence—an 8?foot fence. I don't want to see his place or his face any more. I don't have such a neighbour!”
The carpenter said, “I think I know what to do, sir, and I'll be able to do a job that pleases you.” Farmer John helped the carpenter get the materials (材料) ready and then he was off for the day.
About sunset when the farmer returned, the carpenter had just finished his job. The farmer's eyes opened wide. There was no fence there at all!
It was a bridge! And the neighbour, Bob, was coming across, with his hands outstretched. “Hi, John! You're quite a fellow to build this bridge!”
Then they met in the middle, taking each other's hands. “I'm terribly sorry for what I have said and done. We should be good to each other,” said Farmer Bob.
Then they turned to see the carpenter, who was ready to go. “No, wait! Stay a few days. I have a lot of other jobs for you,” said Farmer John. “I'd love to stay,” said the carpenter, “but I have more bridges to build.”
4.Just before the carpenter came, John and Bob ________ each other.
A.didn't speak to
B.were friendly to
C.often fought with
D.never had bitter words with
5.Farmer John asked the carpenter to build a fence because________.
A.he wanted to protect his farm
B.he didn't want to do it himself
C.he wouldn't like to see Bob
D.he wanted to find him something to do
6.What does the sentence “You're quite a fellow to build this bridge!” mean?
A.It was great to build this bridge.
B.John was not good at building bridges.
C.John was foolish to build such a bridge.
D.John should build the bridge earlier.
7.What is the best title for the passage?

C.Three Kind Men D.A Fence or a Bridge?

They were a happy family: four daughters all in the same school in different grades. The youngest, Janice, who was in my class, seemed to be glued (粘) to her mother's skirts. The three older girls took the bus to school every morning, but Janice was always driven to school by her mother.
One Friday, Janice's mother asked for a chat with me. She said in a soft voice, “My husband is going to Europe on business for two weeks, and he insists that I go with him. I have tried to explain over and over that Janice needs me here. But he thinks that she will be fine without me so I have no option; I have to go. I have told the babysitter to drive her every morning. Will you please give Janice special attention and help her? I want to be sure everything goes well for her.”
I told her that we would make every effort to support Janice. I even volunteered to meet Janice at her car so she would see a familiar face. As a mother myself, I'd like to help. Janice's mother thanked me for my understanding.
On Monday morning, expecting a tearful, anxious child, I planned a special program of fun and games. I waited outside to greet Janice, but just then the bus arrived and not three, but four girls got off. Janice skipped along joyfully, saying “goodbye” to her sisters as she ran with two friends into the classroom. I walked slowly into the classroom and called Janice over to ask how the bus ride went. Impatiently she said, “Oh, I always want to take the bus with the other kids, but Mother needs to be with me. You see there won't be any more babies, so I have to be a baby a little longer. While she is away, I'll just ride the bus every day. I am five, you know.”
8.Why did Janice's mother want to have a talk with the author?
A.To ask her to help Janice with her homework.
B.To ask her to pick up Janice every day.
C.To ask her to give Janice more attention.
D.To ask her to meet Janice at her car.
9.What did the author not do for Janice?
A.Plan a special program of fun and games.
B.Wait for her outside the school.
C.Greet her when she got off the bus.
D.Ask about her bus ride.
10.What did Janice look like on Monday morning?
A.She was tearful and anxious.
B.She was worried about her mother.
C.She missed her mother very much.
D.She was happy rather than sad.
11.What do we know from the passage?
A.Janice is too young to go to school by bus.
B.Janice likes taking the bus to school.
C.Janice doesn't like her babysitter.
D.Janice is no longer a child.
Ⅱ.七选五
Some people think only school children do not agree with their parents. However, it is not true. __1__ If it's hard for you to communicate with your parents, don't worry about it. Here are some advice for you to bridge the generation gap.
Don't argue with your parents. Don't get to your parents when you are angry. Your parents possibly won't consider your ideas if you are shouting at them. And you can't express yourself well if you are angry. __2__
__3__ Perhaps you and your parents disagree on something. You can keep your disagreement and try your best to accept each other. Michael's mother didn't agree with him about buying a motorcycle. They argued over it. But they finally came to a compromise. Michael bought the motorcycle, but only drove it on certain days.
Of course, your parents might refuse to compromise on something. In these situations, it is especially important to show love and respect for them. __4__
Talk about your values (价值观). The values of your parents are probably different from those of your own. __5__ Understanding your values might help them see your purposes in life.
A good relationship with your parents can make you a better and happier person. It is worth having a try.
A.Go to some place to cool off.
B.Try to reach a compromise (和解).
C.Tell your parents what you care about, and why.
D.Make sure you understand why you are unhappy.
E.Showing respect will keep your relationship strong.
F.Communication is a problem for parents and children of all ages.

【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文。作者和妻子出去欣赏一部很有趣的戏剧,结束的时候遇见了以前的老朋友,然后又一起去跳舞,在外面待到很晚让作者非常疲惫。
1.答案与解析:usually 考查副词。修饰谓语动词read要用副词,故填usually。
2.答案与解析:interesting 考查形容词。句意为“报纸说它很有趣……”,it指物,所以要填interesting。
3.答案与解析:decision 考查名词。句意:妻子花了很长时间来决定穿什么衣服,所以我们出发有点晚了。形容词性物主代词her的后面要接名词作动词make的宾语,所以要填动词decide的名词形式decision。
4.答案与解析:By 考查介词。句意:当我们到达剧院的时候,第一幕已经开始了。介词by意为“到……的时候”,引导时间状语从句时,主句通常使用完成时。

6.答案与解析:who 考查定语从句。先行词是friends,关系代词who指代先行词,引导定语从句并在从句中作主语,所以要填who。
7.答案与解析:staying 考查固定搭配。句意:我不习惯在外面待到这么晚,并且我非常累。固定搭配be used to (doing) sth.意为“习惯于(做)某事”,其中动名词短语doing sth.作介词to的宾语,所以要填staying。
8.答案与解析:extremely 此处用副词修饰形容词(tired)。
9.答案与解析:an 考查不定冠词。句意:当我年轻的时候,我没有钱去度过这样的一个夜晚。不定冠词an修饰单数可数名词evening, evening的读音以元音音素开头,表示泛指,所以要填an。
10.答案与解析:to enjoy 考查不定式。句意:尽管现在我能够承担得起,但我没有精力去享受这样的夜晚。句中不定式短语to enjoy it作后置定语,修饰名词energy。
Ⅳ.读后续写
One possible version:
Paragraph 1:
The officer was so angry that he asked the policeman to beat him up again. The_farmer was very afraid. He thought he would be sentenced to death for killing someone, but he didn't. He was innocent. He must tell people the truth, but no one could hear his voice. He hoped that someone could come and save him.
Paragraph 2:
The farmer was lucky. A few days later, a young man came to the_police_station with a lot of journalists, saying that he saw the_murderer. It was the police officer who killed the_man on_the_snow! He saw the police officer use a_knife to kill the man late in the evening. He was so frightened and ran away. The young man thought the farmer was innocent. So he took the great courage to expose the real criminal. After the investigation, the young man was right. The police officer was sent to prison and the policeman who beat up the farmer was punished. The brave young man was regarded as the hero by the villagers.
