26、   Philo Farnsworth was a man who made it possible for one of the most important communication devices (设备）－ television to be created. Philo was born on August 19th, 1906, near Indian Creek in the western state of Utah. He attended a very small school near his family's farm. He did very well in school. He asked his teacher for special help in science. The teacher began helping Philo learn a great deal more than most young students could understand.

One night, Philo read a magazine story about the idea of sending pictures and sound through the air. Anyone with a device that could receive this electronic information could watch the pictures and hear the sound. The magazine story said some of the world's best scientists were using special machines to try to make a kind of device to send pictures. 

14-year-old Philo decided these famous scientists were wrong and that mechanical devices would never work. He decided that such a device would have to be electronic. Philo knew electrons（电子）could be made to move extremely fast. All he would have to do was to find a way to make electrons do the work. 

Very quickly Philo had an idea for such a receiver. It would trap light in a container and send the light on a line of electrons. Philo called it "light in a bottle".

Several days later, Philo told his teacher about a device that could capture (捕捉）pictures. He drew a plan for it, which he gave his teacher. Philo's drawing seemed very simple, but it clearly showed the information needed to build a television. In fact, all television equipment today still uses Philo's early idea.

Philo Farnsworth was only 14 years old then. He knew no one would listen to a child. In fact,  experts say that probably only ten scientists in the world at that time could have understood his idea.

On September 7th, 1927, Philo turned on a device that was the first working television receiver. The image produced on the receiver was not very clear, but the device worked. In 1930, the United States government gave Philo patent documents. These would protect his invention from being copied by others.

【1】How did Philo get the idea of inventing a television?

A.By learning from his science teacher.

B.By reading a story in a magazine.

C.By thinking hard on his own.

D.By using his knowledge about electrons.

【2】The underlined word "it" in the fourth paragraph refers to   .

A.a container sending pictures and sound through the air

B.a receiver that holds light and sends it on a line of electrons

C.a light box with a line of electrons in a bottle

D.a way to make electrons send pictures quickly

【3】What can we learn about Philo?

A.His interest in science was raised by his teacher.

B.He made the first television receiver himself.

C.He received patent documents at the age of 24.

D.He found the famous scientists wrong after showing his teacher a plan.

【4】We can infer from the text that Philo's idea   .

A.was not recognized at first

B.was only understood by his teacher

C.was turned into a television receiver immediately

D.was widely used in all television equipment in 1927

27、   Clara Daly was seated on the flight to Beijing when an air hostess spoke over the loudspeaker: “Does anyone on board know sign language?”

Clara, 15, pressed the call button. The air hostess came by and explained the situation. A passenger, who was blind and deaf, seemed to want something, but he was traveling alone and the air hostesses couldn’t understand what he needed.

Clara had been studying sign language for the past year and knew she’d be able to finger spell into the man’s palm (手掌). So she walked toward the front of the plane, and knelt by the seat of Tim Cook. Gently taking his hand, she signed，“How are you? Are you OK?” Cook asked for some water. When it arrived, Clara returned to her seat. She came by again a bit later because he wanted to know the time. On her third visit, she stopped and stayed for a while.

“He doesn’t need anything. He is lonely and wanted to talk,” Clara said. So for the next hour, that was what they did. She talked about her family and her plans for the future. Even though Cook couldn’t see her, Clara looked attentively at his face with kindness. Cook told Clara how he had gradually become blind over time and shared stories of his days as a traveling salesman. He said he was very excited to have someone he could speak to and that it was the best trip he’d ever had.

All the passengers on the board said that Clara was an angel.

【1】What happened on the flight to Beijing?

A.The air hostess became blind. B.A passenger suddenly got sick.

C.A disabled person needed help. D.Clara spoke over the loudspeaker.

【2】Why did Tim Cook keep asking for service?

A.Because he was hungry and thirsty. B.Because he needed someone to talk to.

C.Because he was afraid of taking planes. D.Because he was interested in Clara’s story.

【3】Why was Clara called an angel?

A.Because she was kind to help others. B.Because she was hopeful for the future.

C.Because she was careful about her plans. D.Because she was gifted for sign language.

【4】What is the best title for the text?

A.Fly in Air B.Sign the Friendly Sky

C.Shape a Better Future D.Give First Aid on the Plane

28、   One of the most common questions I am asked is how people should move on from disappointing, challenging or unexpected situations. While there are many answers to this question, one thing that always stands out to me is the process of self­forgiveness. People often focus on learning to forgive others in life and sometimes we are almost blind to the possibility of forgiving ourselves.

It is absolutely natural to feel guilty, shameful and painful if you’ve hurt a loved one, argued with a co­worker or you are just not happy with yourself. Forgiveness is not about just “letting go” of those feelings, but dealing with them in a positive manner. As the saying goes, “It’s not the load that breaks you down; it’s the way you carry it.”

The simple act of moving forward can benefit you in the long run: Studies show that an inability to self­forgive can play a role in anxiety and disappointment.

So how to let go of your self­anger?

Accept responsibility for what you’ve done. In this stage, you want to move away from your excuses. Without accepting responsibility, any form of self­forgiveness will be negative.

Adopt a new way of thinking about the mistake. If you carry old bricks from your past experiences，you can only build the same house that fell apart in the first place. You are more likely to repeat a mistake if you don’t learn from it, and learning requires compassion(同情). When a child falls over, it is lifted up with love and compassion to try again. We must practice this with ourselves.

Take time to appreciate that you can overcome your guilt, self­blame and feelings of pain. Appreciate that you can make changes in your life to avoid similar experiences in the future. Appreciate that you can create a new way of living.

【1】What does the author want to show by mentioning the saying in Paragraph 2?

A.It’s important to let go of bad feelings.

B.It’s important to stay positive in our life.

C.It’s important to carry the load correctly.

D.It’s important to forgive ourselves in a positive way.

【2】What does the author think we should do when trying to forgive ourselves?

A.Be willing to accept responsibility. B.Find some excuses for our mistakes.

C.Just let go of negative feelings. D.Learn to have compassion.

【3】What does the author suggest we do in the last paragraph?

A.We should overcome our guilt. B.We should reduce feelings of pain.

C.We should appreciate our progress. D.We should create a new way of living.

【4】What would be the best title for the text?

A.Letting Go of Your Anger B.Learning to Forgive Yourself

C.Moving on from Unexpected Situations D.Knowing the Importance of Forgiveness

29、   Have you ever wanted to feel like you were in a western film? Or maybe you wanted to feel like you were a pioneer traveling the west? It is possible to experience such things during a Wild West vacation! Here are four of the best Wild West vacation locations available:

Walk the Lewis and Clark Trail

Walk some or all of the 3,700 miles trail that was traversed by Mariwether Lewis and William Clark, two of the world's greatest explorers. Though not all the trails are marked, there are various stops that have been preserved by various historic societies. There is also a coach (长途客车)that makes a 16-day trek following the trail. This begins in St. Louis, Missouri, and ends in Astoria, Oregon.

Venture Route 66

Take a tour or go to see it yourself-ride on the famous Route 66. The road is nearly 2, 500 miles long. Harley Davidson offers motorcycle tours that last two weeks. Route 66 will provide an experience that may only be found on the open road. The historic road is still well taken care of.

Visit the Grand Canyon

Visit the most immense (巨大的)canyon in the world, located in Northern Arizona. Raft down the Colorado River, or hike the various trails that run throughout the canyon. If walking is not your thing, there are donkey and horse riding adventures available. In addition, there are motorized boats that float down through the canyon in a week's time.

Visit Deadwood

Located in South Dakota, Deadwood is a historic landmark. It is the kind of town that comes to mind when one thinks of an old western film. Actors who act as gunslingers (杀手）will often be seen in the streets playing their roles. Winter activities are popular in this old town, and there is always something to do.

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.

A tiger at the Bronx Zoo in New York City has tested positive for the respiratory disease caused by the novel coronavirus, becoming the first known case of human-animal 【1】, the zoo's chief veterinarian said on Sunday.

Nadia, the 4-year-old Malayan tiger that tested positive, was 【2】 for the COVID-19 disease after 【3】 a dry cough along with three other tigers and three lions, the Wildlife Conservation Society, which manages the zoo, said in a statement.

All of the cats are expected to recover, it said. But officials believe this is a unique case because Nadia became sick after 【4】 to an asymptomatic zoo employee, Paul Calle, chief veterinarian at the Bronx Zoo, told Reuters.

Calle said they did not know which employee infected the tiger. "This is the first time that we have discovered that a person infects the animal and the animal gets sick," Calle said, adding that they planned to share the findings with other zoos and institutions. " I guess 【5】 we will all have a better understanding as a result.

While the other tigers and lions were also 【6】 symptoms, the zoo decided to test only Nadia because she was the sickest and  had started to lose her appetite already, and they did not want to 【7】 all the cats to anesthesia(麻醉), Calle said.

Nadia 【8】 X-rays, an ultrasound(超声波) and blood tests to try to figure out what was making her sick . They decided to test for COVID-19 【9】 the surge in cases in New York City, the epicenter of the outbreak in the United States.The first tiger at the zoo, which has been shut since mid-March, began showing 【10】 of illness on March 27, according to the US Department of Agriculture National Veterinary Services Laboratories.

35、Directions：Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

A huge milestone has just been reached in the field of artificial intelligence: AlphaGo, a program developed by Google’s DeepMind unit, has defeated legendary Go player Lee Se-dol in the first of five historic matches being held in Seoul, South Korea. 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. But I didn’t think AlphaGo would play the game in such a perfect manner.”DeepMind founder Demis Hassabis expressed“huge 【3】 for Lee Se-dol and his amazing skills.”calling the game“hugely exciting”and“very tense.”Team lead David Silver said it was an“amazing game of Go that really pushed AlphaGo to its 【4】.”

Go is an ancient Chinese board game that has long been considered one of the great 【5】faced by AI. While computer programs ow best the world’s leading human players of games like checkers and chess, the high level of intuition and 【6】required by Go has made it tough for computers to crack.

Why your Password May Not Be As Safe As It Seems?  Does “qaz2ws” strike you as a nice safe password? What about “adgjmptw”? An analysis has found them to be among the passwords that are most 【1】 used, which of course means they are not secure at all.

When ten million passwords were leaked on to the internet，they appeared to 【2】that attempts by internet security experts to make us improve our password strength had been successful, even if, in the specific case of the leaked passwords, they are also completely pointless.

While many of the passwords were still single words, such as “password”，there was also a clear attempt by many to make them harder to【3】. The problem was that people seemed to do so in the same way.

“Users are becoming slightly more 【4】what makes a password strong,” explained WP Engine, an internet company that performed the analysis. “For instance, adding a number or two at the end of a text phrase. That makes it better, right?”

But 【5】no. They found that almost half a million passwords did this and in 20 percent of those all people did was put the number “1” at the end.

Perhaps this is why some companies are now trying to move gradually beyond passwords. Yahoo! is giving users the option to 【6】 their mobile phone with an account, having a single use passwords texted to it each time they want to log on.

Although the serviced is voluntary, Dylan Casey an executive at Yahoo!，said that it was “the first step to【7】passwords”.

“We are, for the most part，predictably【9】when it comes to choosing passwords, despite a decade of warnings from password strength checkers during sign-ups” said WP Engine. “We love taking a(n) 【10】, and so do password crackers.

41、阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇 60 词左右的内容概要。

Over the past few years, there has been a big increase in the number of people sharing information online. In this article we will learn about some positive factors for people to share information online.

We often share information with our friends in the office or at home to educate, entertain or pleasantly surprise them. In this way we can connect with others. This is also true while sharing information online. If you look at the Facebook wall posts of your friends, you will realize that most of their updates are usually famous quotes, entertaining videos, inspirational images, funny jokes, etc. 94% of those who responded to a survey by the New York Times said they put a lot of thought into how the content they are sharing will be beneficial to others.

A lot of people share information online to represent their true self to the outside world. Some people, especially those who are shy and not comfortable talking about their areas of interest in the presence of others, find it extremely convenient to share that information online with like-minded individuals.

78% of the respondents in the study of The New York Times said they shared information online because it helps them develop better relationships. Today, a lot of people do not have the time to meet each other in person and the Internet has become a great substitute. A lot of people now “meet” each other online, rather than in conventional places like restaurants and pubs.

Lastly, when we share our thoughts online, we are actively engaging with the vast community of people who are a part of the World Wide Web. Sharing information will make a difference to the viewpoint of others, or add to their understanding about the world.
