Alibaba Cloud and the Hangzhou city government announced the launch of ET City Brain 2.0, a cloud?powered and AI?driven urban traffic?management system that aims to increase the city's efficiency.
After over two years of testing in Alibaba's home base, ET City Brain has become the new infrastructure (基础设施) for Hangzhou, with a total coverage of 420 square kilometers in area, including over 1,300 traffic lights.Over 200 traffic officers are connected via mobile phones, enabling them to receive real?time alerts on any traffic?related emergencies.
In version 2.0, the system will optimize the city's firefighting abilities by providing key information to firefighters, such as water pressure, the number and position of fire hydrants (消防栓) in a given area, the location of gas pipes and other details they need to know.The information is instant, making the entire firefighting process faster, safer and more accurate.
City Brain gives meaning to data.By using AI and advanced algorithms (计算程序), City Brain is able to analyze a large amount of data and turn them into useful information in real?time speed.
As a result of City Brain's ability to predict traffic flow, detect accidents and provide instant feedback, Hangzhou has dropped from 5th to the 57th on the list of China's most congested cities.Hangzhou is probably the only city that can tell you how many cars are on the street at any given time.
In the case of medical emergencies, City Brain is able to change traffic lights, so emergency vehicles like ambulances and fire trucks can head to the scene without interruption, accelerating their arrival time by 49%.
Dr.Wang Jian, head of Alibaba's Technology Steering Committee who invented the term “City Brain”， said the system is designed to empower a city to act quickly and directly.It is more than just about traffic management.It's really about how to make city more livable at a time of shrinking natural resources around the globe.“It is a matter of sustainability, while using as little natural resources as possible，” Wang said, “This is just the beginning.”
1．Which of the following functions of the City Brain is NOT mentioned in the text?
A．Predicting traffic flow.
B．Giving quick feedback.
C．Changing traffic lights.
D．Handling traffic accidents.
2．What benefit will ET City Brain bring?
A．Lower crime rates.
B．Efficient government.
C．Less traffic congestion.
D．Improved medical care.
3．What can we conclude from the last paragraph?
A．ET City Brain 2.0 is a mature version.
B．Alibaba targets environment?friendly development.
C．The government is devoted to improving the system.
D．The system can solve the problem of lack of resources.
4．Which of the following best explains the underlined word “optimize” in Paragraph 3?
A．Better. B．Practise.
C．Operate. D．Emphasize.
B
When students and parents are asked to rate subjects according to their importance, the arts are unavoidably at the bottom of the list.Music is nice, people seem to say, but not important.Too often it is viewed as mere entertainment, but certainly not an education priority (优先)．This view is short?sighted.In fact, music education is beneficial and important for all students.
Music tells us who we are.Because music is an expression of the beings who create it, it reflects their thinking and values, as well as the social environment it came from.Rock music represents a lifestyle just as surely as a Schubert song.The jazz influence that George Gershwin and other musicians introduced into their music is obviously American because it came from American musical traditions.Music expresses our character and values.It gives us identity as a society.
Music provides a kind of perception (感知) that cannot be gained any other way.Science can explain how the sun rises and sets.The arts explore the emotional meaning of the same phenomenon.We need every possible way to discover and respond to our world for one simple but powerful reason：No one way can get it all.The arts are forms of thought as powerful in what they communicate as mathematical and scientific symbols.They are ways we human beings “talk” to each other.They are the language of civilization through which we express our fears, our curiosities, our hungers, our discoveries, and our hopes.The arts are ways we give form to our ideas and imagination so that they can be shared with others.When we do not give children access to an important way of expressing themselves such as music, we take away from them the meanings that music expresses.
Science and technology do not tell us what it means to be human.The arts do.Music is an important way we express human suffering, celebration, the meaning and value of peace and love.
So music education is far more necessary than people seem to realize.
5．According to Paragraph 1, students ________.
A．regard music as a way of entertainment
B．disagree with their parents on education
C．view music as an ignored subject
D．prefer the arts to science
6．In Paragraph 2, the author uses jazz as an example to ________.
A．compare it with rock music
B．show music reflects a society
C．introduce American musical traditions
D．prove music influences people's lifestyles
7．What is the main idea of the passage?
A．Music education deserves more attention.
B．Music should be of top education priority.
C．Music is an effective communication tool.
D．Music education makes students more imaginative.
8．According to the passage, the arts and science ________.
A．approach the world in different ways
B．explore different phenomena of the world
C．express people's feelings in different ways
D．explain what it means to be human differently
C

Silk Fabric
Silk, the favorite fabric of many girls out there, is also a Chinese invention.Although we all know that silk is made by silkworms, it was Chinese people who first invented a way to harvest the silk and then use it to make clothes.The oldest silk which has been found so far is in Henan Province and dates back to 3630 BC.

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。续写的词数应为150左右。
Jenny was the only child in her home.She had a quarrel (争吵) with her mother that afternoon and she ran out of the house angrily.She couldn't help crying sadly when she thought of the angry words from her mother.After she walked aimlessly in the street for hours，she felt hungry but had no money.She stood in front of a shop which sold noodles for several minutes, but she had to leave.The seller of the noodle shop came out and noticed the young girl.
“Hey, girl, you want to have noodles？”
“Oh, yes, but I have no money on me，”she replied.
“Oh, that's nothing. I'll treat you today，”the owner said，“come in.”
The seller brought her a bowl of noodles, whose smell was so attractive.As she was eating, Jenny cried silently.
“What is it？” asked the man kindly.
“Nothing, actually I was just touched by your kindness！” said Jenny as she wiped her tears.“Even a stranger on the street will give me a bowl of noodles, while my mother drove me out of the house.She showed no care for me.She is so merciless compared to a stranger！”
Hearing the words, the seller smiled, “Girl, do you really think so? I only gave you a bowl of noodles and you thanked me a lot.But it is your mother who has raised you since you were a baby.Can you number the times she cooked for you? Have you expressed your thanks to her？”
Jenny sat there, speechless and numb with shock；she remembered mother's familiar face and weathered hands.“Why did I not think of that? A bowl of noodles from a stranger made me feel indebted (感激的), but I have never thanked my mum for what she has done for me.”
On the way home, Jenny made up her mind to say sorry to her mother for her rudeness as soon as she arrived home.
Paragraph 1：
Approaching the doorway, Jenny took a deep breath.

【故事续写】
Paragraph 1：
Approaching the doorway, Jenny took a deep breath. When she knocked at the door, she found the door was locked and her mother was not in. Tired and sad, she sat down in front of the house.“Where could my mother be？” she wondered. “Was she still angry with me？” Again, the scene of the quarrel appeared in her mind.She remembered her rudeness to her mother.Realizing that all the scoldings from her mother was due to the fact that her mother really cared a lot about her, she felt rather ashamed, and tears began to roll down her cheeks.
Paragraph 2：
A gentle touch on her hair called her mind back. She raised her head and saw the familiar face of her mother.“Here you come! I've been looking for you，” she said, tired and relieved.Jenny couldn't help throwing herself into her mother's arms.“Mum, I'm so sorry and thank you for all you have done for me.” She expressed her sincere apology and great gratitude.Hearing this, her mother smiled, patting her back gently.
