24、 Once there was a poor lady who lived on a hill near the sea. She lived a lonely life. She was so poor that she had to work hard every day.
But one night as she sat at the table, the lady said to herself, “Why can’t I do good to others?” At last, she came up with an idea.
She decided to keep a lighted lamp (灯) at the window for the sailors every night. She found that ships sometimes broke up on the rocks in the sea, since there was no lighthouse to warn them of the danger at night. Maybe her lamp would warn them when their ships came near the rocks on the coast.
The lady felt glad when the thought came through her mind. So she worked late and made money to buy the oil for the lamp and then she placed the lamp at the window each night. In this way she saved many lives.
She did this for five years without the hope of reward ( 报酬). However, good acts were often found out. The sailors whose lives had been saved began to send gifts to her. They sent her tea from China, cloth from India, silk from France and grapes from Spain. But the poor lady did not need these gifts to make her happy. She gave many of them to the poor and the sick.
She was happy with the thought that she was doing good. So, as long as she lived, she lit her lamp each night, and placed it at the window.
【1】What can we know about the lady?
A.She knew the sailors. B.She worked on a ship.
C.She was kind-hearted. D.She lived alone on the sea.
【2】Why did the ships sometimes break up on the rocks in the sea?
A.Because the ships were not built well enough. B.Because there was no lighthouse.
C.Because the sailors didn’t have enough experience. D.Because the rocks were too large to avoid.
【3】How might the sailors feel when they saw the lamp at the window?
A.Lucky. B.Thankful. C.Sorry. D.Proud.
【4】What can we learn from the passage?
A.No pains, no gains.
B.Where there is a will, there is a way.
C.Nothing is more important than safety.
D.It is always worth doing something good for others.
25、Artificial intelligence: Google’s AlphaGo beats Go master Lee Se-dol
A computer program has beaten a master Go player 3-0 in a best-of-five competition, in what is seen as a landmark moment for artificial intelligence (人工智能).
Google‟s AlphaGo program was playing against Lee Se-dol in Seoul, in South Korea.
Mr Lee had been confident he would win before the competition started.
“AlphaGo played consistently (稳定地) from beginning to the end while Lee, as he is only human, showed some mental weakness,” one of Lee’s coaches, Kwon Kap-Yong, told the AFP news agency.
Mr Lee is considered as a successful Go player, having won many competitions in his career.
Go is a game of two players who take turns putting black or white stones on a 19-by-19 grid (棋格). Players win by surrounding their competitors pieces with their own.
In the first game of the series (系列赛), AlphaGo won by a very small chance – Mr Lee had led for most of the match, but AlphaGo managed to build up a strong lead in its closing stages.
After losing the second match to DeepMind, Lee Se-dol said he was “speechless” adding that the AlphaGo machine played a “nearly perfect game”.
Experts said that Lee Se-dol had brought his “top game” but that AlphaGo had won “in great style”.
The AlphaGo system was developed by British computer company DeepMind which was bought by Google in 2014. It has built up its special skills by studying older games and teasing out so many kinds of ways of play. And, according to DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis, it has also spent a lot of time just playing the game.
“It played itself, millions and millions of times and each time got a little better – it learns from its mistakes,” he told the BBC before the matches started.
This good circle of continuous improvement meant the super computer went into the five-match series stronger than when it beat the European player late last year.
Does this mean artificial intelligence is now smarter than us and will kill us humans? Certainly not. AlphaGo doesn‟t care if it wins or loses. Does it mean that artificial intelligence will soon take your job? Possibly you should be more worried about that.
【1】What had Lee Se-dol thought about the competition before it started?
A. He would beat AlphaGo.
B. AlphaGo would lead the match.
C. It was hard to tell who would win.
D. AlphaGo would have some weakness.
【2】What happened in the first game of the series?
A. Mr Lee won by a very small chance.
B. AlphaGo had led for most of the match.
C. Mr Lee was beaten by AlphaGo finally.
D. AlphaGo built up a strong lead at the beginning.
【3】What does the underlined phrase “teasing out” probably mean?
A. Giving out. B. Working out.
C. Running out. D. Pointing out.
【4】The writer may agree that ______ in the future.
A. human will be killed by artificial intelligence
B. artificial intelligence will do everything for human
C. people might lose jobs because of artificial intelligence
D. artificial intelligence will be much smarter than human
26、Making a good job choice is almost as good as choosing a good life. So, choosing a job is one of the most important decisions to make in life.
For my job, there are three important things that I will consider:
The first one - that I must work in an area I like - is most important to me. Someone once said if you find a job that you enjoy, then you won't have to work another day. I would like to work in an area where I can be more creative. I would like to be the ost valuable member there. All this is possible only if I like what I do.
The second one is that the area of my work must lead me to solve some new and hard problems. I would like to stay in the same area for a long time. In order for this to happen, the work must provide enough problems. More than just working to live, I enjoy making a difference and trying my best for the whole progress. I would also like to be well remunerated for my hard work, so I can lead a comfortable life with this hard-won money. Then I can provide the best for my family.
The third important thing is that I would like to work in an area that would help other people. The work in my mind is in fields such as the army, training or management. In such areas, I can help to develop the abilities of others and bring out their best. It would be a most satisfying job to help young people to become the best that they can be. When I become old, I would like to look back with a great sense of satisfaction that thousands of people have become better persons through my work.
I accept the idea that no one should make a choice of a job suddenly or quickly. He should decide what he wants to be in the long run. Then, he should decide how he works towards it. He should study the proper courses, read the books and speak to knowledgeable persons in that field before making a job choice. A good choice will most probably lead to a better life.
【1】According to the passage, a good job choice probably makes people_____.
A. solve fewer problems

B. it can make him more creative
C. he will have to work another day
D. it is possible for him to live better

A. trained B. praised
C. accepted D. paid
【4】The writer wants to tell us that everyone should _______.
A. become a knowledgeable person
B. join the army to become a better person
C. make preparations to find a satisfying job
D. help young people to choose an interesting job
【5】What is the best title for the passage?
A. My Job Choice
B. My Favorite Job
C. My Comfortable Life
D. My Sense of Satisfaction
27、It’s big, it’s nasty but it’s more than just a hole in the ground. Some landfills take in 2,000 tons of trash a day but America’s largest landfill takes in that amount each hour, which will be full in two to three years.
Garbage problem has been a long-standing issue. Volunteer students at the University of Arizona in the U.S. started the Garbage Project. They aimed at learning the influence of human’s activities on the environment by studying the garbage.
One important thing the students learned was that the garbage in landfills disappears very slowly. That was surprising to the students, as well as to many scientists who had predicted that about 70% of the garbage in landfills would break down naturally and quickly. From the landfills, students even found newspapers twenty years ago and forty-year-old hot dogs.
The Garbage Project also discovered that what people say they do was often very different from what they actually did. The volunteer students asked people what they bought, ate and drank, and then they compared this to what people threw away. For some reason, the two didn’t match. For example, the students found much more empty bottles of beer than people said they drank.
Information from the Garbage Project has helped us to see how much garbage we actually put in landfills. The students are hopeful that this will encourage us to find better ways to dispose (处置) of our garbage.
Of course, the best way to dispose of garbage depends on what kind of garbage it is: regular garbage, hazardou materials, or recyclables such as newspaper, glass bottles, and some metals. Regular garbage goes to regular landfills. Hazardous materials, on the other hand, contain poisonous chemicals or metals. They shouldn’t go into regular landfills. For example, waste batteries can pollute the soil and groundwater, which need to be recycled properly.
It’s necessary to reduce garbage from the source. With the development of living standards, people use too many plastic products only once before throwing them away, especially as online shopping becomes more popular. We can start reducing garbage by using cloth shopping bags and green delivery packages.
Unfortunately, recycling is expensive. It takes time and special treatment. However, in Japan, people recycle garbage so carefully that even plastic bottles and their caps go into different bins. Positive effects present gradually. In the last five years, the Japanese city of Kamikatsu has raised its rate of recycled waste to 80 percent.
It is a matter of great urgency and we must go into action now. There are many things that ordinary people can do to make less garbage. If everyone does the same, we will make our living environment safer and better.
【1】According to the passage, students of Garbage Project discovered that .
A.people knew what they actually threw away
B.garbage disappeared as scientists predicted
C.students collected newspapers for research
D.garbage was too much and lasted longer
【2】The word “hazardous” in Paragraph 6 probably means “ ”.
A.wet
B.common
C.dangerous
D.burnable
【3】What can we learn from the passage?
A.Disposing the garbage properly will make a difference.
B.Adding more landfills helps solve garbage problems.
C.Improving the living level can reduce the garbage.
D.Shopping online helps to save the environment.
