24、There were many plants in a forest. When spring came, a pine tree saw a red rose nearby and said, “What a beautiful flower! I wish I were that lovely.”

The rose proudly said, “It seems that I am the most beautiful flower in this forest.” Then the rose looked at a cactus (仙人掌) and said, “Look at that ugly plant full of thorns (刺)!”

“What a proud flower!” thought the trees.

As the days passed, the red rose often looked at the cactus and said bad words about it, like “This plant is useless. How sorry I am to be his neighbor!”

The cactus never got angry and even tried to advise the rose, saying, “God did not create any form of life without a purpose.”

Spring passed, and the weather became very hot. As there was no rain, the red rose began to wilt (枯萎).

One day the rose saw birds put their beaks (喙) into the cactus and then fly away. The red rose asked the pine tree what the birds were doing. The pine tree explained that the birds were getting water from the cactus.

“The cactus has water?” asked the rose.

“Yes, you can also drink some from it. The birds can bring water to you if you ask the cactus for help.”

The red rose felt too ashamed to ask for water from the cactus. But finally it did ask for help. The cactus kindly agreed. The rose learned a lesson and never judged (评价) anyone by their appearance again.

25、Yesterday afternoon, it was very hot. Mr Green, with his family, decided to go swimming.

There was a new and large swimming pool near their house. It was free for the first week. So they wanted to have a try there. When they got to the swimming pool, they were told to read the notice first.

26、   Artificial intelligence (AI) products are not new. However，researchers have been working to improve the technology. Now virtual (虚拟的) assistants, like Siri and Alexa, can have short conversations with us. AlphaGo taught itself to play Go and became better than the top human players.

Now an AI system has been tasked with passing a multiple-choice exam. The goal is to improve machines' language understanding and logic with so-called computer vision (计算机视觉).

A system named Aristo was developed by the Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence, a lab in the United States city of Seattle. It recently passed an eighth-grade science exam taken by many US students. The New York Times reported. It correctly answered more than 90 percent of the questions. Then it was given a twelfth-grade exam. It scored more than 80 percent.

It's an example of the progress in AI development. Four years ago, 700 computer scientists tried to develop AI systems that could pass these kinds of exams. None scored higher than 60 percent.

Aristo was able to pass the exams because it can not only understand language but also use logical thinking to solve problems. For example, it can understand what a forest fire is and how it could endanger animals like squirrels or decrease the food supply they need.

The system used BERT, a kind of neural network technology developed by Google, to answer the questions. BERT has "read" thousands of English articles. If it looks at a sentence with a missing word, it can correctly guess what the word is. With BERT's help, Aristo "read' many multiple-choice questions and answers. Over time, it was able to find logical patterns on its own.

"It may still be in the earliest stages," said Jingjing Liu, a Microsoft researcher who has been working on similar technologies. "We can't compare this technology to real human students and their ability to reason."

However, Aristo's success means that AI systems are getting better at understanding users, and we might see improved search engines and hospital databases in the near future.

【1】What does the underlined word "it" refer to in paragraph 3?

A．The city of Seattle

B．Aristo

C．A lab in Seattle

D．The Allen Institute

【2】What can we know about Aristo from its exam results?

A．It was smarter than most US students.

B．It could only deal with science questions.

C．It was best at understanding English.

D．It did better than other AI systems in similar tasks.

【3】What do paragraphs 3 to 8 talk about?

A．How Aristo teaches itself.

B．How Aristo reads English articles

C．How Aristo is developed.

D．How difficult it was to design Aristo

【4】What can we learn from Jingjing Liu's words?

A．AI will soon replace humans in many tasks.

B．Aristo still cannot compare to human reasoning skills.

C．Humans can't live without Al in the future.

D．Aristo performs better with a larger database.

27、Alice Lewis is from America. She is a creative (有创造力的) girl. She likes to invent—to think of new ideas for things that no one has made before, and then make them.

One day, Alice’s mother showed her an article which explained how difficult it was to get sick people through the countryside to the hospital in Africa. Alice wanted to help.

Alice knew that in North America, before there were cars, horses pulled heavy things on a travois (旧式雪橇) which was made of wood. Alice thought people in Africa could do the same thing. She added wheels to the travois for the African people. To make her travois light to pull, she used bamboo, a plant that grows in Africa, instead of wood.

You need to wear a belt (腰带) to pull Alice’s travois. That means you can free your hands to carry or hold other things. Alice thought her travois was perfect for carrying food home from the market, as well as taking people to the hospital. After it was finished, she wrote instructions (说明书) for building one. So people in Africa could make it by themselves.

Alice doesn’t know if she wants to be an inventor when she grows up, because she also likes music and writing. But she thinks it’s important for children to learn about inventing at school.

根据材料内容，选择最佳答案。

【1】What’s Alice’s travois made of?

A．Bamboo.

B．Wood.

C．Plastic.

D．Glass.

【2】The underlined word “light” in the passage means “________” in Chinese.

A．明亮的

B．轻便的

C．美观的

D．舒适的

【3】What did Alexis write after she finished her travois?

A．She tried to learn to use it.

B．She showed it to her mother.

C．She drew a picture of it.

D．She wrote the way to make it.

【4】What can we know from the passage?

A．Alice often helps others make things.

B．Alice likes singing and dancing very much.

C．Alice wants to be an inventor when she grows up.

D．Alice thinks it’s important for children to learn about inventing.

【5】What’s the best title for the passage?

A．Helping Others

B．Making a Travois

C．A Creative Girl

D．A New Invention

28、Orbiting classroom

Do you still remember the lecture from China’s Tiangong space station last year? On March 23, astronaut Zhai Zhigang, Wang Yaping ang Ye Guangfu gave another one! It was livestream（直播）worldwide. What fun experiments did they do this time?

Hot “ice”

Last time, the astronauts made a water ball in space. This time, they turned a water ball into an “ice” ball! Well, it’s not a【1】 ice. It’s supersaturated sodium acetate solution（过饱和乙酸钠溶液）.

The supersaturated solution is very unstable（不稳定的）. The astronauts dropped a small crystal（晶体）of sodium acetate into the ball-shaped solution. Suddenly, more sodium acetate crystals grew, making a white ball of “ice”. This “ice” is anything but cold, however. The p【2】 actually gives off heat.

A bridge of water

How do you build a “bridge” with water? It’s h【3】 to do it on Earth. But in the space station, with little gravity, it’s quite easy!

In the lecture, Wang Yaping first made two water balls on two plates, then let them touch each other. Next, Wang p【4】 the two plates apart, and the water between them didn’t break. It became a “bridge”! This is because the surface tension（表面张力）of water is not disturbed by gravity in space. The surface tension keeps the “skin” of the water strong so that the bridge doesn’t break.

Separate water and oil

If we m【5】 oil and water in a bottle on Earth, they will quickly separate because they have different densities（密度）. Gravity brings the water down while the oil stays on top. H【6】, if you do this in the space station, with no gravity, the oil and water will blend together.

How can we separate them, then? In the lecture, Ye Guangfu rotated（旋转）the bottle to c【7】 centrifugal force（离心力）. With this man-made gravity, the heavier water is pushed to the furthest point, which brings the lightest oil closer to the center.

29、   Do you love listening to music? Do you listen to music while you are studying?

If you’re like most people, you may love listening to music. There’s nothing like the _______ feeling you get when your favourite song starts to play.

Where and when do you like to listen to music? Alone in your room? Or _______ a friend? Or while you’re studying?

Yes, some people like to listen to music while they are studying. _______ should they? Can music help them think or be good for their memory? Or is it bad?

In fact, the answer may depend on what _______ of music you are listening to and what you’re studying. For example, some scientists believe that music can help with reading and speaking. It is good for listeners’ _______ to tell between sounds. So they can better understand language. So if you are studying for a language exam, _______ to music may help.

But what kind of music should you listen to? Classical music may be a good choice._______ can help you calm down and concentrate (集中注意力) on your study. On the other hand, listening to _______ music may have the bad effect. It may make you concentrate more on the _______ than on what you are studying.
