28、   Professional writing isn't easy. As a blogger, journalist or reporter, you have to meet several challenges. You have to keep up with the latest developments and at the same time write timely, interesting and unique content. The same goes for scientists, researchers and analysts and other professionals. With floods of information being published on the web every day, things aren't getting easier.

Fortunately, Artificial Intelligence has a few ways to help with professional writing, among which is smart proofreading.

Software sellers have always tried to help writers by adding proofreading features to their tools. But those efforts can slightly anger someone with more-than-average writing skills. However, that is changing as AI is getting better at understanding the context and purpose of written text. One example is Microsoft Word's new Editor feature, a tool that uses AI to provide more than simple proofreading, Editor can understand slight differences in your article much better than other tools do. It flags not only grammatical errors and style mistakes, but also the use of unnecessarily complex words and overused terms. For instance, it knows when you're using the word "really" to emphasize a point or to raise a question.

It also gives reasons for its decisions and provides smart suggestions when it considers something as incorrect. For example, if it marks a sentence as passive, it will provide a reworded version in active voice.

Editor has been well received by professional writers, though it's still far from perfect. However, AI-powered  writing assistance is fast becoming a competitive market. Grammarly, a grammar checker, uses AI to help with all writing tasks on the web. Atomic Reach is another player, which uses machine learning to provide feedback on the readability of written content.

【1】Why is smart proofreading developed?

A．To help find target information.

B．To help improve users' writing

C．To inform writers of the latest news.

D．To overcome the challenges AI meets.

【2】What does the underlined word "that" in Paragraph 3 refer to?

A．Writers' effort.

B．Effect of proofreading.

C．One's writing level.

D．Readers' aim.

【3】What is the characteristic of Microsoft Word's new Editor feature?

A．It is a perfect proofreading tool.

B．It removes unnecessary expressions.

C．It offers information and asks questions.

D．It marks mistakes and gives suggestions.

【4】How does the writer develop the last paragraph?

A．By doing researches.

B．By making comparison.

C．By listing examples.

D．By explaining cause and effect.

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

A．How to Perfect Proofreading

B．How to Improve Writing Skills

32、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

My family immigrated to Canada when I was about one year old. In those early years, we did not have much money. Our home was a simple rented apartment, which was rather poorly furnished. There certainly was not enough money for expensive outings. As a result, our weekends were filled with simple pleasures that we could do for free, like picnics, bike rides, and my favorite—trips to the library.

Thanks to the library’s children’s section, I fell in love with stories—silly ones, moving ones, and even educational ones. I would have my parents read the books that we borrowed over and over again until we needed to return them, or I would page through them myself, imagining the stories in my head, even though I was too young to read the words.

When I was about five years old and finally started to read on my own, I had a curious thought: I knew we could get books from the library or buy them in store s if we had the money, but where did books come from?

I asked my mother this question, to which she replied that the stories I loved were created in the imaginations of people called “writers” These people then wrote them down so they could be s hared with others.

Four decades later, I still remember that moment. It was as though I had been struck by lightning. Then and there, I knew my purpose in this world. I would be one of those writers. I would create stories and share them with the world.
