They call Hawaii the Aloha State. Aloha means both hello and goodbye. It also means I love you.

28、When do you usually do when you have some free time? Do you take part in any form of hobby? If your answer is no, then you should think twice. 【1】

Here is a common problem that many older people have. They have spent such a great deal of time raising their family that once their children are grown and leave home, they all of a sudden start to experience their age. Quite often, it is not their age that is the concern. 【2】

When you put in too much time not doing anything, this can affect your brain. This is just where the expression “If you don't use it, you lose it" definitely is the truth. Your mind needs working out much like any other muscle in your body. This is why getting a hobby matters. 【3】

【4】 Even young children can profit from taking a new hobby. For retired people, enjoying a hobby which they can take pleasure in with their grandchildren will help keep them active and feeling young at heart.

Several hobbies that are terrific for both your mind and your body include yoga, biking, swimming and golf. If you aren't fond of sports, even taking a walk regularly is a wonderful way to keep active. 【5】 Additional hobbies include any kind of craft like sewing, knitting, wood working, gardening etc.

As you can see above, you can get pretty much from taking a hobby. With so many choices waiting for you, what are you waiting for? Begin your journey right away!

A．It helps you to appreciate fresh scenery and the colors green and blue help make you more creative.

B．Enjoying a hobby is also a perfect way to improve creative thinking at any age.

C．Young children may have strange concerns that have nothing to do with the elderly.

D．It offers you with something to do and is a perfect way to meet new people.

E．It is the fact that they are unexpectedly entrusted (交付) more time on their hand.

F．Experiencing some type of interest or hobby might be the ideal way to develop your brain and improve your creative thinking.

G．Different people have different hobbies.

29、   Something I enjoy doing most in my leisure time is going to the cinema to watch a great film. It's two hours of relaxation and escapism from real life. But when I kick back in my seat to enjoy the film and tuck into (大口吃) my box of popcorn, I'm often irritated by seeing someone next to me texting on their mobile phone or worse still, talking to someone.

It's no surprise that a proposal by a US cinema chain to let people use their phones during some film screenings was met with such anger, that the company had to withdraw the idea. People said it was the worst idea ever! Surely, going to watch the latest film is just that — watching not multi-screening. And if you're out with a friend it seems very antisocial or just rude. I certainly get distracted (分心的) by the click-click on someone's mobile keyboard as they text and the glow of the bright small phone screen — why aren't they concentrating on the big screen?

But with the availability of streaming films at home and cheap DVDs, cinemas are struggling to keep their customers. Some places now offer comfortable seats with free snacks and drinks so maybe trying to attract a younger audience by allowing the use of mobile phones is the way forward. A survey in 2012found that a majority of 18-to-34-year-olds believed using social media while watching a movie would add to their experience.

However, not every young person wants to multi-task at the movies. Many of us still get annoyed by the theatre staff who appear not to do anything about it. Of course, we could ask the offenders to turn their phones off but as Adam Aron, head of AMC Entertainment, said in Variety magazine, "when you tell a 22-year-old to turn off the phone, don't ruin the movie, they hear ‘please cut off your left arm above the elbow’ " Clearly this is not what I would like to see but if you want to use your mobile phone in the cinema that I'm at, please don't sit next to me! What do you think is the right thing to do?

【1】The underlined word "irritated" in Paragraph 1 means ______ .

A.annoyed B.depressed

C.terrified D.embarrassed

【2】Which of the following is True of the US cinema chain's original advice? ______

A.They forbade people to use the phone.

B.The advice was carried out smoothly.

C.The advice was very popular with people.

D.They permitted people to use the phone.

【3】What can we infer from Paragraph 3? ______

A.People prefer to watch films and DVD at home.

B.The cinema needn't worry about their customers.

C.Young people use their social media frequently.

D.Sending messages is the best experience for young people.

【4】What is the author's attitude towards multi-task at the movies? ______

A.Sympathy. B.Disapproval.

C.Enthusiasm. D.Encouragement.

30、The day before my daughter Norah's fourth birthday, something she said predicted an amazing event that happened later.

I had just ________ my little girl from preschool when she reminded me to ________ the elderly person walking across the parking lot at a snail's pace. She went on to explain: “I like old people the best because they walk ________ like I do and they have soft skin like I have soft skin. But they may die soon, so I will love them all before they die.” I was ________ by her thoughtfulness and sympathy, but I had ________ how much my little girl really ________ it.

Then we headed forward. While I was picking up the cupcakes, Norah was ________ waving and saying loudly: “Hi, old person! It's my birthday today!”

The man was elderly. stone-faced and furrow-browed. ________, before I could quiet her for calling him an old person, he stopped and turned to her. His facial expression ________ as he replied, “Hello, little lady! How old are you today?”

After ________ for a few minutes, the man wished her a happy birthday. Then, Norah asked: “Can I take a ________ with you?” Hearing this, he took a step back, and placed his free hand on his chest, “A photo? With me?” he asked in a surprised but ________ tone. “Yes, for my birthday!” Norah begged. And so he did. They ________ together. Norah placed her soft hand on top of his soft hand. The man wordlessly ________ at her with twinkling eyes as she kept his hand in hers and studied his skinny veins curiously. She kissed the top of his hand and then placed it on her cheek. He smiled sweetly.

There was ________ happening in the supermarket that day, and we could all feel it. After a few minutes, I ________ Mr. Dan for spending a bit of his day with us. With tears welling up, he said, “No, thank you. This has been the best day I've had in a long time.” He ________ my daughter. “You've made me so _______, Miss Norah.”

34、阅读短文，根据短文内容及首字母提示，在空白处填入一个适当的单词。

Wearing face masks during the COVID-19 pandemic p【1】 the spread of the deadly virus. But it is also i【2】. For one, we can no longer unlock our phones using facial recognition since a good part of our face is c【3】.

F【4】, tech companies are working to solve the problem. Apple, for example, offered a new way to unlock your iPhone and iPad with its l【5】 software update, iOS13.5, w【6】 was released on May 20.

Even though the update still won’t recognize your masked face, it makes the whole process f【7】. While the old system wouldn’t allow access t【8】 the passcode screen before three failed face scan attempts, iOS13.5 will send you straight to the passcode screen when you swipe up.

It might only s【9】 you a few seconds, but those few seconds “benefit public health by eliminating the temptation for people to r【10】 their masks in order to unlock their device”.

35、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.

The Sundance Film Festival 【1】 boycotts all Hollywood films, and we don’t foresee ever including them. The initial idea for our festival was 【2】 back in l978. when it was known as the Utah/US Film Festival. However, it was not well known until 1981.
