21、The world is filled with movies about technology, but none of them could have been created without AI (Artificial Intelligence人工智能). It seems AI is everywhere and makes our life more interesting.

Chongqing is quickly becoming a leader in Artificial Intelligence. People can spend several days experiencing the latest and greatest AI toys at the Smart China Expo(智博会) . Chongqing people are most proud of the Smart China Expo in Chongqing in 2018. For example Lijia wisdom garden in Chongqing is a place where people can deeply experience artificial intelligence. There are driverless cars for adults, robot dogs to entertain children, and music robots that sing songs with teenagers. In 2019, Chongqing Gaoxin District has started building the city's largest three-dimensional( 立体的) parking building. Everyone can park their car there very quickly.

Artificial intelligence is the new rising sun in Chongqing.

Why do I say so? First, many people come to Chongqing because of the Smart China Expo. When Chongqing has more tourists, people here can make more money. Second, AI makes people in life and work get simple and convenient experience, from carrying large bags to holding your cell phone calmly, from always doing housework at home to now waiting for the floor-sweeping robot to serve you. Everything is so fantastic.

Artificial intelligence is double-edged- sword(双刃剑). Some people always worry that it will become the boss of humans, and we may lose everything in the end. But I always have a positive mind that when humans use high technology to make a new thing, we must be smarter than it.

22、   Last Sunday, my whole family went to the amusement park near our town, as we planned the day before, on my brother David’s 13th birthday. David was two years older than me.

The weather was perfect and everyone was happy. The park was not too crowded. “Fiona,” said my brother, “do you want to go on that ride with me?” “Of course.” I said. The ride was brand new. I saw commercials(广告)for this huge roller coaster(过山车)on television. I was so excited to ride it. As we got in line, we talked excitedly about what we might experience. We decided that we would both try to keep our hands in the air the whole time. We believed that would make it even more enjoyable. I was so busy talking to my brother that I missed the most important sign—Empty your pockets(腾空口袋)before going on the ride.Something bad happened!

The ride started. It was a really fast roller coaster! Before I knew it, we were upside down. I felt my phone slipping(滑落)from my pocket. My hands were in the air, just as we had promised, and I didn’t catch my phone in time. It hit me on the head, fell down to the ground and broke. My parents said I wouldn’t have a new phone until I had enough money to pay for it. I need to be more careful.

23、

The buses in Curitiba (库里蒂巴), a city in south Brazil, carry two million passengers a day—that’s 85% of the city’s population. You buy your ticket before you get on the bus. The price is the same wherever you’re going. No one in the city lives more than 400 meters from a bus stop. People don’t use their cars much in the city, so there’s less pollution.

Japanese bullet trains (子弹头列车) travel at up to 320 kilometers an hour. The 520-kilometer journey between Tokyo and Osaka (大阪), the world’s busiest high-speed line, takes just three and a half hours. It would take seven hours by car. Bullet trains are used by many local people. They’re popular with foreign tourists, too, because, as a tourist, you can buy a rail pass which gives you unlimited (无限制的) travel during your trip in Japan.

Copenhagen (哥本哈根) is known as “______”. A third of the people who live there go to work by bike. In fact, you see more bikes than cars in the city center. There are 350 kilometers of cycle paths (道路). You don’t even need to have your own bike, you can use a city bike, which is free.

24、   For many animals, the sea is a dangerous place. Overfishing and pollution are killing many sea animals. But the number of cephalopods (头足类动物) – sea animals that include octopi (章鱼) and squid (鱿鱼) – has been growing for the past 60 years. 

Zoe Doubleday is a scientist and she did a study of cephalopods. She says cephalopods’ special abilities made their numbers to grow.

① These animals can change their colour and body shape. They grow fast and live for only one or two years. “This allows them to get used to changing environments more quickly than other sea animals,” Doubleday said.

② What’s more, rising sea temperatures might make animals age faster, she says. They might be growing faster and giving birth to more babies.

③ So people can find them in both cold and hot places. Because they can easily get used to their environment, they are known as the “wild grass of the sea”.

④ Will octopi and squid take over the world one day? According to Doubleday, that won’t happen. The growth of cephalopods could slow down if the animals run out of food and start eating each other. Overfishing could also change their numbers.

For now, the cephalopod growth is good news for other sea animals. “The growing number of cephalopods could be good for sea animals and birds that eat cephalopods,” Doubleday said.

【1】According to the first paragraph, what is happening to sea animals?

A.They are getting used to dirty water.

B.They are running out of food.

C.They are being killed by overfishing and pollution.

D.They are being caught and kept in zoos.

【2】What helped the number of cephalopods to grow?

A.Their ability to change their colour and body shape.

B.Their ability to grow more slowly than other animals.

C.Their ability to change their body temperature.

D.Their ability to eat other sea animals.

【3】“Cephalopods live in all of the world’s seas.” The sentence can be put in ________.

A.① B.② C.③ D.④

【4】According to the article, the cephalopod growth now ________ .

A.makes the sea full of wild grass B.makes the sea full of cephalopods

C.harms some sea animals D.is good for some sea animals

25、   I would never realize I was quite helpful around the house until 【1】 (I) mum became ill. Last month, she went to hospital. The doctor said she needed to stay in bed and have 【2】 good rest.

I was 【5】 (provide) with a chance to do housework. It was not as easy as I thought. As soon as I got home from school, I had to make dinner. It was always quick when my mum did it, 【6】 for me it took a long time.

After dinner, I washed the 【7】 (dish). Then I washed my clothes. This took more time. I didn't even start to do my homework u【8】 late in the evening. By the weekend, I was 【9】 (real) tired. I didn't play with my friends because I needed to rest.

My mum feels 【10】 (good) this week. I'll never forget how much work she does for our family.
