26、   As doctors and nurses struggle for medical supplies to fight the coronavirus pandemic, help is coming from an unlikely place – high school students.

The Career Technical Education Charter (CTEC) High School, US, has been utilizing (利用) its nine 3D printers to make face shields (防护面罩) for healthcare workers on the frontline.

Face masks have been particularly challenging to find across the US since the outbreak. Gavin Newsom, Governor of the State of California, announced recently that the state is set to spend $1 billion (about 7 billion yuan) to purchase 200 million masks each month to boost its supply.

Valerie Castro, 16, a CTEC sophomore, is part of a team of teachers and students who came up with design tweaks (改进) that cut almost 30 minutes off the time it takes to build a face shield.

“That’s what makes this school kind of different,” she said. “Even though all these bad things are happening, we’re able to make an impact positively. It’s like leaving your little mark on the world.”

Makerbot, a New York-based company that makes 3D printers, has also helped CTEC to maximize the building process.

They’ve been churning out (大量生产) nearly 100 shields each day, and that production rate is set to triple as 20 more 3D printers come online at the school.

CTEC staff and students have provided masks to hospitals, dentists, urgent care centers and retirement homes in Fresno County and the surrounding areas in California.

“I was shocked,” Stacy Vohra told school staff in a video. “We were so thrilled to have the donation from CTEC. This is something that we’ve been needing.”

The entire staff has switched from daily teaching to face shield production, said Jonathan Delano, director of CTEC.

When the new 3D printers arrive, some of them will go to students’ houses so kids can help with the hands-on process, Delano said.

“That’s how we get through these things,” Delano said. “Our high school focuses on giving back to the community. Students should know the skills they hold can have an impact on a community.”

【1】What sets The Career Technical Education Charter High School apart, according to Castro?

A.They joined healthcare workers on the frontline.

B.They donated about 200 million masks in a month.

C.They designed a more protective face shield.

D.They made a difference in such difficult times.

【2】According to Paragraph 7, what will happen when they triple their production rate?

A.They will get 20 more 3D printers from Makerbot.

B.They will produce a face shield in less than 30 minutes.

C.They will be able to produce about 300 face shields every day.

D.They will start to sell their face shields on their school’s website.

【3】What does Delano think of CTEC’s face shield production?

A.It has boosted the supply of masks in Los Angeles.

B.It has interrupted the school’s daily teaching.

C.It reminds the students of the value of their skills.

D.It challenges students to handle 3D printers by themselves.

【4】What is the text mainly about?

A.Teenagers helping design and produce face masks.

B.3D printing technology being used to produce face masks.

C.Donations from high schools to fight the pandemic.

D.A high school making contributions by producing face shields.

28、What is the secret of happiness? A new study finds that happiness comes from exercise. People who exercise actively bring themselves happiness equal to earning an extra $ 25,000 a year.

Instead of recording extra hours at work in hopes of getting a raise, maybe you should hit the gym instead, as it could make you just as happy as that extra money. An interesting new study, published in the Lancet, found that people who are physically active have a greater sense of well—being than those who are inactive-and that active individuals feel as good as inactive people who earn $ 25,000 more per year.

Researchers from Oxford and Yale Universities used data gathered from more than 1.2milion Americans. They were asked, “How many times have you felt mentally unwell in the past30 days. for example, due to stress, depression, or emotional problems?” Participants were also asked about their exercise habits and were able to choose from 75 diverse physical activities, including doing housework and childcare, running, weightlifting, and cycling. The researchers found that people who exercise regularly feel bad for an average of 35 days per year, while inactive people feel bad for an additional 18 days.

All exercise types were associated with a lower mental health burden. Social physical activities （that is to say, team sports such as football, basketball, etc） had an even more positive effect, which can best help people relax mind.

It is possible for some to get too much exercise. From Business Insider's report on the study. “The mental health of those participants who exercised for longer than three hours a day suffered more than that of those who weren't particularly physically active.” The ideal amount seems to be three to five training sessions per week. lasting 30 to 60 minutes each.

But the conclusion should be that any amount helps, so don't stress about hitting that perfect balance: “All exercise types were associated with a lower mental health burden than not exercising.”

【1】The question asked in Paragraph one is meant to ______.

A．introduce the researchers

B．tell the secret

C．draw a conclusion

D．lead to the topic

【2】Which exercise below can help us relax mind most effectively?

A．Running

B．Walking alone.

C．Playing football

D．Keeping fit in the gym.

【3】According to the passage, the following are true EXCEPT that ______.

A．people who exercise actively may feel bad for about 35 days per year.

B．The more exercise you take, the higher mental health burden you will get.

C．overdoing exercising will do harm to people's mental health.

D．doing exercise is better than not doing it.

【4】What is the main idea of the passage?

A．Exercise can bring as much pleasure as an income rise.

B．The secret of happiness has nothing to do with wealth.

C．Choosing the right form of exercise is of vital importance.

D．The key to keep young is to exercise regularly.

Good to hear from you again. And good timing. Your e-mail came in just as I was chatting with another friend, who’s ________ one of those rough periods at work. I wish I had better advice.

You asked, “How do you define success?” What a ________ question!

In 2005, I made only $22,500 a year in Rocky Mount. Another two sportswriters, Travis and Jeff, in their mid-20s too, had come to Rocky Mount to leave Rocky Mount. We went out to ________ our games, and sent the final pages to the printer by our 1:30 a.m. ________. On the best nights, we’d play Wiffle ball in the ________ until 4 a.m., laughing and joking.

We all left there within a year, as ________. Travis eventually ________ a big-time job covering the Pittsburgh Pirates, and Jeff became one of the most well-known NASCAR writers in the country, with almost 200,00 Twitter ________.

Last time Jeff and I met, he said something about Rocky Mount. “I didn’t ________ it then, but honestly, when I ________, it’s probably the best time I’ve ever had in my career.”

What is success? Buddy, I don’t know. On those late nights, it was making good contact on Travis’s curve ball. Now it’s running a tenth of a mile ________ than I did last week. A year ago, I wrote a story and no readers ________ me about it, which these days is a success. But nobody said anything nice ________, so is it a failure? I don’t know.

College students ask me for ________ every now and then Maybe that’s success. But last night an editor at a publication I’ve been dying to write for ________ with the murderous words “This just isn’t the right ________ for us”.

Maybe it’s beyond work. In June 2018, my dad visited and made it the whole weekend without falling while ________ to his wheelchair. To another person, ________ success might be a night sleeping on a bench without getting wet. You get the ________.

Maybe success isn’t ________ in achievements; maybe success is a smaller calculation, something more like what Jeff hinted at.

Thank you for writing, old friend.

34、Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

AI artwork sells for $432,500 — nearly 45 times its high【1】 — as Christie’s becomes the first auction house to offer a work of art created by an algorithm. This portrait, however, is not the product of a human mind. It was created by an【2】 intelligence, an algorithm defined by that algebraic formula with its many parentheses. And when it went under the【3】 in the Prints & Multiples sale at Christie’s on 23-25 October, Portrait of Edmond Belamy sold for an【4】 $432,500, signaling the arrival of AI art on the world auction stage.

From a distance, Portrait of Edmond de Belamy looks almost plausible. Up close, however, the paintwork becomes a grid of mechanical-looking dots, the man’s face a golden blur with black holes for eyes. Look into those eyes. They show no sign of feeling or life. Did a computer make this?

The answer is yes. The first artwork【5】 by AI to be sold at Christie’s, its【6】 price would seem to suggest that in future we will get computers to make art for us. Robot van Gogh will harmlessly cut its ear off and robot Picasso will be a genius.

Is this the future AI art visionaries such as the French collective Obvious, which programmed this “painter” by getting it to compare its own work with 15,000 pre-20th century portraits, have in mind? Or are they just, God forbid, making a fast buck from deceivable art collectors? Because believing the algorithm that knocked this up to be in any meaningful way an “artist” is like thinking your voice-interaction programme is out to get you. Dream on. Computers would need to replicate human consciousness before they could replicate the funny thing humans do called “art”.

Art is a way in which human 【7】 expresses itself, and is equally true of the earliest cave art, Rembrandt’s portraits and Duchamp’s urinal. And that is what is missing from Portrait of Edmond Bellamy. Art is a way humans communicate ideas, perceptions and feelings to each other. It has no 【8】 outside the human passion to communicate. So in what meaningful sense can an AI replica of certain【9】 traits of old master paintings be called art?

For a robot to really make art, it would need an autonomous mind that was emotional as well as【10】. No AI developer has yet claimed to be anywhere near achieving that and if they ever do, their creation will probably have better things to do than paint portraits — like destroy humanity.

Maybe afterwards robots will invent their own kind of art, but it won’t be some poor pastiche of human genius.

It will be beyond anything we organics could imagine.

35、按照课文内容填空

At the time they were created, the Impressionist paintings were【1】, but today they are accepted as the beginning of【2】we call “modern art’. This is because the Impressionists 【3】artists to look at their environment in new ways. There are scores of modern art styles, but 【4】the Impressionists, many of these painting styles might not exist. On the one hand, some modern art is abstract; that is, the painter doesn’t 【5】to paint objects as we see them with our eyes, 【6】instead concentrates on certain qualities of the object, 【7】color, line and shape to represent them. On the【8】hand, some paintings of modern art are so 【9】 that they look photographs. These styles are so different. Who can【10】what painting styles there will be in the future?

36、Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

Expressions about water are almost as common as water itself. But many of the expressions using water have unpleasant meanings.

The expression “to be in hot water” is one of them. It is a very old expression, which can be 【1】 back to 500 years ago. The expression is used to mean being in trouble. One story says it got that meaning from the custom of throwing extremely hot water down on enemies attacking a castle.

Being in “deep water” is almost the same as being in “hot water”. When you are in deep water, you are in a difficult 【2】. Imagine a person who cannot swim being thrown in water over his head. You are in deep water when you are facing a problem that you do not have the ability to solve. The problem is too deep.

Lee 【1】 after about three and a half hours, with 28 minutes and 28 seconds remaining on his clock. The series is the first time a professional 9-dan Go player has taken on a computer, and Lee is 【2】 for a $1 million prize.

“I was very surprised,”said Lee after the match.“I didn’t expect to lose.

I think I failed on the opening layout so if I do a better job on the opening aspect I think I will be able to increase my 【9】 of winning.”Lee was surprised both by how strong AlphaGo’s opening was, and by some 【10】moves.
