24、Peanuts to This

Proudly reading my words, I glanced around the room, only to find my classmates bearing big smiles on their faces and tears in their eyes. Confused, I glanced toward my stone-faced teacher. Having no choice, I slowly raised the report I had worked hard on, hoping to hide myself. ―What could be causing everyone to act this way?

Quickly, I flashed back to the day Miss Lancelot gave me the task. This was the first real talk I received in my new school. It seemed simple: go on the Internet and find information about a man named George Washington. Since my idea of history came from an ancient teacher in my home country, I had never heard of that name before. As I searched the name of this man, it became evident that there were two people bearing the same name who looked completely different! One invented hundreds of uses for peanuts(花生）, while the other led some sort of army across America. I stared at the screen, wondering which one my teacher meant. I called my grandfather for a piece of advice: flip (掷) a coin. Heads（正面）—the commander, and tails（反面）—the peanuts guy. Ah! Tails, my report would be about the great man who invented peanut butter, George Washington Carver.

Weeks later, standing before the unfriendly class, I was totally lost. Oh well, I lowered the paper and sat down at my desk, burning to find out what I had done wrong. As a classmate began his report, it all became clear, ―My report is on George Washington, the man who started the American Revolution. The whole world became quiet! How could I know that she meant that George Washington?

Obviously, my grade was awful. Heartbroken but fearless, I decided to turn this around. I talked to Miss Lancelot, but she insisted: No re-dos; no new grade. I felt that the punishment was not fair, and I believed I deserved a second chance. Therefore, I devoted myself fully into my work for the rest of the school year. Ten months later, that chance came as I found myself sitting in the headmaster’s office with my grandfather, now having an entirely different conversation. I smiled and flashed back to the embarrassing moment at the beginning of the year as the headmaster informed me of my option to skip the sixth grade. Justice is sweet!

【1】What did the author’s classmates think about his report?

A.scary. B.foolish.

C.boring. D.puzzling.

【2】Why was the author confused about the task?

A.He was unfamiliar with American history. B.He followed the advice and flipped a coin.

C.He forgot his teacher’s instruction. D.He was new at the school.

【3】In the end, the author turned things around   .

A.by redoing his task B.through his own efforts

C.with the help of his grandfather D.under the guidance of his headmaster

25、   Students decide to take a job while being in university because of two reasons: on the one hand, they need money; on the other hand, they want to experience something new and they want to see what working means. It is a good chance to know about the society and realize the importance of working with others.

But is it good to take a job while you are a university student? If we were to think about the advantages, we could mention the ones I have just discussed. Having a job at an early age helps us gain experience, which will be very useful to our later life. We may become financially independent and don’t need to ask our parents for money each time we want to go downtown with our friends, or spend the holiday at the seaside or in the mountains.

However, students who take a job might have problems in spending enough time on their study. If they work during the day, they may have to be absent from their classes, and if they work at night they will feel tired the next day. They may choose to stay at home, resting. What’s worse, some students may even get bored with study.

Well, this fact happens every now and then, but there are cases when well-prepared students take a part-time job but at the same time they make time for study, too. And they have good results. Their case is a good example to follow among the students who decide to work while being in university. Anyway, we need to keep in mind that study is the most important job for a student.

【1】The author believes that some college students work ______.

A.for further education B.for pleasure

C.to support their family D.to get experience

【2】According to the passage, college students who take a job can ______.

A.make more friends B.prepare them for their future careers

C.win free journeys D.have complete independence from their family

【3】Taking a job may cause a student to ______.

A.be absent from their exams B.lose their interest in their studies

C.be in conflict with their roommates D.receive punishment from their teachers

【4】The author implies(暗示) that college students ______.

A.had better take a part-time job during vacation B.should not take a job

C.should keep a balance between work and study D.should learn by doing

【5】From the passage, we can know that taking a job during university years ______.

A.is much like a coin with two sides B.is much like a cake with fruit in it

C.has more negative influences D.has more positive influences

26、For as long as humans have appeared, we have been the most intelligent species（种类）on Earth. Monkeys know how to use simple tools. Elephants can be taught how to count. But things like art, literature（文学）, the Internet, and space travel have only been made possible by the amazing intelligence of humans. And yet, there are some who believe that we can create machines that can think and feel just like we do. Artificial intelligence（人工智能）, or AI, is defined（定义为）by Merriam-Webster as “the capability of a machine to imitate intelligent human behavior”.

AI is around us every day. From Apple’s voice-activated assistant Siri to the software algorithms（算法）that shipping companies use to deal with deliveries（投递）, AI is very much a part of our lives.

But why do we put so much effort into creating machines that can think the way we do? For one thing, AI can make our lives much easier. Imagine being able to be in a car, tell it your destination, and sit back in comfort as the AI-guided self-driving car takes you there. We’re already getting there—Changsha became the first city in China to roll out self-driving taxis in April 2020.

However, there are risks. What if we somehow produced an artificial intelligence that was smarter than us? How would it behave toward us? These are the kinds of difficult questions that AI researchers ask themselves all the time.

Apart from the risks, it is already clear that AI is here to stay. Only time will tell if it will lead us into a new age of prosperity（繁荣）, or be our end.

【1】The first paragraph is written to ________.

A．explain how animals are intelligent

B．show what fields AI can be used in

C．prove the possibility of space travel

D．explain how intelligence makes humans special

【2】Which of the following might not take advantage of AI?

A．Voice-activated assistants.

B．Software algorithms for deliveries.

C．Machines that produce goods.

D．Self-driving taxis.

【3】What is one of the risks about AI?

A．We might not be able to live without it in the future.

B．We can’t say for sure how AI will behave toward us.

C．AI will never be as smart as humans.

D．It is not easy to put AI into daily use.

【4】What does the underlined word “destination” in Paragraph 4 refer to?

A．An end point.

B．A name.

C．A wish

D．A feeling.

【5】What’s the writer’s attitude towards AI?

A．It will be good.

B．It will be bad.

C．It’s going to be part of our future.

D．It’s risky and horrible.

C.to teach users how to be better players

D.to invite people to join the SPORTS FANS

28、根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词。

Children’s education is changing very fast today. In the past, teachers made children s【1】 quietly for hours. They made them r【2】 all kinds of things. The children had to go on r【3】 things again and again until they knew them “by heart”. Today, many teachers wonder if it is p【4】 to make children learn at all. They say you can o【5】 help them learn. They say you must let children learn and discover things for t【6】. But for some of the children, school is a kind of p【7】 they can’t escape（逃亡） from. They are there only b【8】 their parents make them go. They get out of the classroom as soon as the teachers let them leave.
