22、   In our culture, the ability to make one's own decisions is important. John F. Kennedy's quote(引语) “Too often we enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought.” shows an unpleasant truth.

Much of what we know and believe has been taught to us by others, and we often accept this information without spending much time thinking it over for ourselves.

In today's world, we are being presented with information, ideas and beliefs, but many of them are against each other. Psychology(心理学) tells us that if we hear an idea enough times, or if it comes from someone we respect, we will probably  believe that idea. In these cases, we base our opinions on the opinions of others. If each of us does not think about this information for ourselves and come to our own conclusions, we will become nothing more than parrots(鹦鹉) quoting the opinions of others.

Examples of spreading fake news without thought can be seen on the Internet. Some people believe whatever they read and then share the story without thinking about the facts. All it takes is one quick click(点击) of the “share” button, and the story travels on its way to influence even more unthinking readers. This can cause serious problems.

If we just stop for a moment to think about what we read and hear, and form our own opinions, we will be more thoughtful, more independent, and more creative people, but few take that time. Yet we need not lose heart over this bad habit. In fact, simply becoming aware(意识到) of it is the first step towards correcting it. Once we become aware that we tend(趋向) to hold opinions and beliefs without thinking them through, we can change that pattern of behavior. Hopefully, we can learn to experience and enjoy the “discomfort of thought” and form our own opinions.

【1】People will probably believe an idea when_____.

A.it comes from someone they respect B.they hear it a few times

C.it is really a truth D.it is popular with most people

【2】The underlined word “fake” in the passage probably means “________”.

A.untrue B.unhappy C.unfair D.unusual

【3】How can we have our own opinions according to the passage?

A.By spreading the information we receive. B.By learning more about psychology.

C.By quoting others' opinions like parrots. D.By thinking about what we read and hear.

【4】We can probably find this passage in a book about ________.

A.history B.education C.sports D.languages

【5】What's the purpose of this passage?

A.To describe how Internet news spreads.

B.To explain why people don't have their own opinions.

C.To tell people that they should have their own thoughts.

D.To warn people not to believe other people's ideas.

23、   A new officer with the Huntington Park Police patrols (巡逻) local parks 24 hours a day seven days a week. He doesn’t need rest, coffee breaks, a salary or medical insurance, and that is because it is a Robocop.

The main function of the Robocop is to scan and film the surroundings. Besides cameras with night vision that report 360 degrees, it also has a distress button which is located here, so if somebody is to need assistance or they want to contact the communication center, they can do it by way of that distress button. There are people that are monitoring on the other end.

This newest police employee is self-charging. It’s easy to program it and make changes to the software if necessary. Its maintenance (维护) costs are roughly 75 thousand dollars a year. It travels the entire park. It is a programmed path, but the police are able to change the path and adapt it.

The Robocop can record the license plates (车牌) of passing cars and check them against an online database of stolen cars. It can also help locate a lost iPhone because it is able to determine a Smartphone’s MAC address. The police can see from the robot if something wrong happens and then come and figure it out.

The Robocop can’t replace its human handlers. The whole goal is to give police more time to do things machines can’t do. The police have been having some concerns about safety of the parks and want an extra set of eyes that will help patrol a 24/7. Robocop’s creators believe this model known as K5 is best used for providing security at public places like hospitals, parking lots, parks and airports. So far, it seems to be working out just fine.

【1】What is the distress button used to do?

A．Locate the Robocop.

B．Serve as an alarm device（警报装置）.

C．Communicate with visitors.

D．Monitor the neighborhood.

【2】Why does the Robocop record the license plates of passing cars?

A．To direct traffic.

B．To build a database（数据库）.

C．To prevent accidents.

D．To find lost cars.

【3】What can we infer about the Robocop in the last paragraph?

A．It has limitation（局限性） in use.

B．It has been widely used（被广泛使用）.

C．Its creators（开发者） need more support.

D．Its security（安全性） is still under test.

【4】If we put the passage into two parts, which of the following is the best?

( ①=Para. 1 ②= Para. 2    ③= Para. 3    ④= Para. 4    ⑤= Para. 5 )

A．①②③;④⑤

B．①②;③④⑤

C．①②③④;⑤

D．①;②③④⑤

24、 Mom,

You are right. I am just too lazy. How can a lazy 【1】(person) dream come true? So I have to change myself.

I am really 【2】(relax) this afternoon. I find the zoo 【3】 (easy). There’s a hotel behind the zoo. It takes me 30 minutes 【4】(get) there. Many 【5】 (visit) are in the zoo. There is a lion 【6】(sleep) on the grass. Monkeys are climbing in the trees. I take many photos of 【7】 8-year-old monkey. It can do many things like swimming and dancing. What a smart animal! And I want 【8】(post) some of the photos to Tom in Russia because he likes monkeys best. I buy a new hat for you. It looks nice 【9】 a monkey on it. Tomorrow is 【10】 (mother) Day. So the hat is just for you!
