B
Sports
can
help
you
keep
fit
and
get
in
touch
with
nature.
However,
whether
you
are
on
the
mountains,
in
the
waves,
or
on
the
grassland,
you
should
be
aware
that
your
choice
of
sport
might
have
great
influence
on
the
environment.
Some
sports
are
resource-hungry.
Golf,
as
you
may
know,
eats
up
not
only
large
areas
of
countryside,
but
also
tons
of
water.
Besides,
all
sorts
of
chemicals
and
huge
amounts
of
energy
are
used
to
keep
its
courses(高尔夫球场)
in
good
condition.
This
causes
major
environmental
effects.
For
example,
in
the
dry
regions
of
Portugal
and
Spain,
golf
is
often
held
responsible
for
serious
water
shortages
in
some
local
areas.
In
fact,
there
are
many
environment
friendly
sports.
Power
walking
is
one
of
them
that
you
could
take
up
today.
You
don't
need
any
special
equipment
except
a
pair
of
good
shoes;
and
you
don't
have
to
worry
about
resources
and
your
purse.
Simple
and
free,
power
walking
can
also
keep
you
fit.
If
you
can
walk
regularly,
it
will
be
good
for
your
heart
and
bones.
Experts
say
that
20
minutes
of
power
walking
daily
can
make
you
feel
less
anxious,
sleep
well
and
control
your
weight
better.
Whatever
sport
you
take
up,
you
can
make
it
greener
by
using
environment
friendly
equipment
and
buying
products
made
from
recycled
materials.
But
the
final
goal
should
be
"green
gyms".
They
are
better
replacements(代替物)
for
traditional
health
clubs
and
modern
sports
centers.
Members
of
green
gyms
play
sports
outdoors,
in
the
countryside
or
other
open
spaces.
There
is
no
special
requirement
for
you
to
start
your
membership.
And
best
of
all,
it's
free.

C
When
there
are
some
strangers
in
front
of
us,
which
of
them
will
we
trust?
According
to
a
new
study
in
the
online
PLOS
One,
people
make
their
decisions
to
trust
others
largely
based
on
their
faces.
Your
appearance
can
do
a
lot
for
you,
especially
if
you
are
in
the
financial
industry.
The
more
trustworthy
you
look,
the
more
likely
people
will
buy
what
you're
selling.
Researchers
from
Britain's
University
of
Warwick
Business
School
,
University
College
London,
and
Dartmouth
College,
US,
did
a
number
of
experiments.
The
research
team
used
computer
software
to
make
40
faces
from
the
least
to
the
most
trustworthy-looking,
The
study
said
that
the
difference
between
a
trustworthy
face
and
one
that
isn't
as
trustworthy
comes
from
features
that
look
slightly
angry
or
slightly
happy,
even
when
the
face
is
at
rest.
However,
a
slightly
happy
face
is
more
likely
to
be
trusted.
Researchers
gave
participants
some
money
and
asked
them
which
face
they
trusted
to
invest
the
money
for
them.
Then
researchers
gave
some
good
and
bad
information
about
the
people
with
these
faces,
and
asked
the
participants
again
whom
they
trusted.
The
results
showed
that
even
if
they
got
different
information,
the
participants
didn't
change
their
choices.
They
were
still
more
likely
to
invest
their
money
with
the
more
trustworthy-looking
faces.
Chris
Olivola,
one
of
the
study's
authors,
said
in
the
University
of
Warwick's
press
release:
"It
seems
we
are
still
willing
to
go
with
our
own
instincts
about
whether
we
think
someone
looks
like
we
can
trust
them."
8.
According
to
the
study,
which
of
the
following
faces
is
most
likely
to
be
trusted?
A.
A
slightly
smiling
face.
B
A
disappointed
face.
C.
An
embarrassed
face.
D.
A
nervous
face.
9.
What
do
we
know
about
the
experiments?
A.
The
trustworthy
faces
were
given
good
information.
B.
Researchers
took
photos
of
the
40
people's
faces
in
colleges.
C.
Participants
liked
to
choose
the
faces
with
good
information.
D.
Most
participants
gave
their
money
to
the
trustworthy-looking
faces.
10.
Which
of
the
following
best
explains
"instincts"
underlined
in

Judgments
that
are
easily
changed
by
others.
C.
Good
information
that
are
given
by
people
around.
D.
Feelings
rather
than
opinions
or
ideas
based
on

11.
What
is
the
text
mainly
about?
A.
Why
people
trust
a
stranger
with
good
appearance.
B.
People
usually
judge
strangers
according
to
their
faces.
C.
How
different
information
affects
people's
decisions.
D.
Why
the
research
team
carried
out
the
experiment.
D
Modern
technology
has
a
strong
influence
on
many
things
we
do.
In
fact,
technology
is
shaping
almost
every
part
of
our
day-to-day
existence,
including
education.
Ashok
Goel
is
a
professor
at
the
Georgia
Institute
of
Technology.
Every
term
over
300
graduate
students
take
his
class
on
artificial
intelligence
(AI).
The
students
never
meet
in
person.
All
of
the
classes
take
place
online
through
a
website.
Having
hundreds
of
students
in
a
class
means
Ashok
Goel
has
to
answer
thousands
of
questions.
He
has
eight
teaching
assistants
to
help
him.
But
even
that
is
not
enough
to
give
all
the
students
the
help
they
need.
So,
in
January,
he
decided
to
try
an
experiment.
At
the
start
of
the
spring
2016
semester,
he
added
a
new
member
to
his
teaching
team:
Jill
Watson.
She
was
able
to
answer
questions
faster
than
most
other
teaching
assistants.
And
she
was
available
24
hours
a
day.
It
was
only
at
the
end
of
the
semester
that
Goel抯
students
learned
Watson抯
secret:
she
was
not
a
real
person.
Jill
Watson
is
an
AI
computer
program.
Goel
said
only
two
students
came
close
to
predicting
Watson抯
true
identity.
He
was
worried
about
telling
his
students
because
he
thought
they
would
not
like
being
part
of
the
experiment.
But
once
they
learned
Watson抯
identity,
they
became
very
excited.
揟hen,
you
know
what
happened?
They
not
only
asked
that
question
about
Jill,
慖s
she
an
AI?
Once
the
identity
of
Jill
was
revealed
they
also
asked
if
I
was
an
AI.
Goel
now
uses
Watson
in
two
other
classes,
but
still
does
not
tell
his
students
which
of
his
teaching
assistants
is
a
computer
program.
He
hopes
this
technology
will
make
it
easier
for
teachers
to
create
their
own
programs
to
use
in
and
outside
the
classroom.
12.
How
does
Goel
give
his
students
help?
A.
Through
the
Internet.
B.
By
writing
to
them.
C.
By
face-to-face
teaching.
D.
Through
books.
13.
Why
did
Goel
decide
to
try
an
experiment?
A.
Because
some
questions
were
difficult
to
answer.
B.
Because
it
was
hard
to
satisfy
students
need.
C.
Because
it
was
too
tired
to
answer
those
questions.
D.
Because
he
wanted
to
improve
students
self-study
ability.
14.
What抯
the
students
response
to
Jill
Watson?
A.
Surprised.
B.
Indifferent.
C.
Excited.
D.
Shocked
15.
What抯
the
best
title
for
the
passage?
A.

Once
a

sky
filled
with
colorful
kites.
He
　22　
his
father
that
he
also
wanted
to
fly
a
kite.
　23　,
the
father
went
to
the
shop
at
the
park
where
the
festival
was
being
held.
He
　24　
a

for
his
son.?
The
son
　25　
to
fly
the
kite.
Soon,
his
kite
reached
high
in
the
　26　.
After
a
while,
the
son
said,
“Father,
it
seems
that
the
　27　
is
stopping
the
kite
from
flying
higher.
If
we
cut
it,
the
kite
will
be
　28　
and
fly
even
higher.”
So
the
father
　29　
the
thread.
The
kite
started
to
go
a
little
higher.
But
then,
slowly,
it
started
to
come
down.
　30　
it
fell
down
to
the
ground.
The
son
was
　31　
to
see
this.
He
asked
his
father,
“Father,
why
did
it
fall
down?”?
The
father
　32　,
“Son,
the
thread
wasn’t
preventing
the
kite
from
going
higher,
but
it
was
helping
it
stay
higher

the
　33　
slowed
down
or
picked
up.
You
helped
the
kite
go
up
higher
in
a
　34　
direction
through
the
thread.
And
when
we
cut
the
thread,
it
fell
down
without
the
　35　
you
were
providing
to
the
kite
through
the
thread.”
Hearing
this,
the
son
realized
his
　36　.?
Sometimes
we
all
have
the
same
feelings
like
that
child.
We
　37　
that
we
can
progress
quickly

On
our
way
to
the
house,
it
was
raining
41
hard
that
we
couldn抰
help
wondering
how
long
it
would
take
42
(get)there.
It
was
in
the
middle
of
Pearl
City.
We
were
first
greeted
with
the
barking
by
a
pack
43
dogs,
seven
to
be
exact.
They
were
well
trained
by
their
masters
44

great
experience
with

for
these
animals.
Our
hosts
shared
many
of
their
experiences
and
45
（recommend）wonderful
places
to
eat,
shop,
and
visit.
For
breakfast,
we
were
able
to
eat
papaya
(木瓜)
and
other
fruits
from
their
trees
in
the
backyard.
When
they
were
free
from
work,
they
invited
us
to
local
events
and
let
us
know
of
an
interesting
46
(compete)
to
watch,
together
with
the
story
behind
it.
They
also
shared
with
us
many
47
（tradition)
stories
about
Hawaii
that
were
48
(huge)
popular
with
tourists.
On
the
last
day
of
our
week-long
stay,
we
49
(invite)
to
attend
a
private
concert
on
a
beautiful
farm
on
the
North
Shore
under

五、书面表达（共25分）
With
the
development
of
economy，more
and
more
greenhouse
gases
are
being
discharged
into
the
air.
CO2
makes
up
about
70%
of
the
greenhouse
gases，which
is
considered
to
be
one
of
the
greatest
causes
of
global
warming.
It
has
harmful
effects，causing
the
sea
level
to
rise
and
many
natural
disasters
to
strike.
So
we
must
take
effective
measures
to
save
our
planet.
First，we
should
use
more
clean
energy
and
less
coal
and
oil.
Second，we
should
go
to
work
on
foot
or
by
bus
instead
of
driving
a
car
if
possible.
Third，
we
should
plant
more
trees，
because
plants
can
turn
CO2
into
oxygen.
More
importantly，
we
should
form
the
habit
of
saving
energy
in
our
daily
life.
