21、 I couldn't believe it.
I just couldn't believe it. “How could they do this to me？” I screamed to myself as I walked along the icy New York streets to my apartment just a few blocks away. Just a few minutes ago, I was happily working at my job. Meat was on the grill （烤架） and bread was being toasted.
I knew it was a little fishy when Mark called me into his office for a “chat” . Something just didn't seem right.
“This is so hard for me to say,” he said, “but we will not need your service any more. Please take off your apron （围裙）. Here is your final paycheck. ”
Just then, the winter wind whipped （鞭打） onto my face and big snowflakes started to fall on my heavy winter coat. I didn't even know how, but warm tears started to drip out of the corners of my eyes. My hands were too cold to even wipe my face.
Out of nowhere, an old man walked up to me. He had black mustache and his eyes were surprisingly blue.
“Hello, young man,” he said to me, “lift your spirits. ”
“I can't. I just can't. I was just fired from my favorite job. ”
“I know. I know,” he said, interrupting me, “I want you to always remember that it is always the darkest before dawn. You will get another job. Don't worry. ”
I didn't know what to do. I looked down at my shoes to think about the situation. Maybe this man was right. Maybe dawn was not so far away.
I decided to thank the man for supporting me, but when I looked up, he was gone.
A week later I got a well paid job as the executive chef for a five -star restaurant. The man was right.

22、When people see machines that respond like humans, or computers that perform amazing functions, they sometimes joke about a future in which humanity will need to accept robot overlords(霸主). But buried in the joke is a seed of unease. Science-fiction movies have ever shown us about artificial intelligence (AI) that escapes its creators’ control.
Even in the real world, not everyone is ready to welcome AI with open arms. In recent years, as computer scientists have pushed the boundaries(界限) of what AI can accomplish, leading figures in technology and science have warned about the frightening dangers that artificial intelligence may pose to human beings, even suggesting that AI could destroy the human race. But why are people so frightened about the idea of AI?
Elon Musk is one of the famous voices that have raised red flags about AI. In July 2017, Musk told people at a meeting of the National Governors Association, “I have exposure to the very cutting-edge AI, and I think people should be really concerned about it. I keep sounding the alarm bell. But until people see robots going down the street killing people, they don’t know how to react, because it seems so impossible. ”
Earlier, in 2014, Musk had labeled AI “our biggest existential threat”, and in August 2017, he declared that humanity faced a great risk from AI.
Physicist Stephen Hawking, who died on March 14, also expressed concerns about AI, telling the BBC in 2014 that “the development of full artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race.”
It’s also less than reassuring that some programmers—particularly those with MIT Media Lab in Cambridge, Massachusetts—seem determined to prove that AI can be terrifying.
【1】What are top scientists in AI worried about?
A．It has wonderful functions.
B．It contributes too much to movies.
C．It may end the human race some day.
D．It’s ability to bury our seeds in jokes.
【2】What is Elon Musk’s attitude toward AI?
A．Disapproving.
B．Ambiguous.
C．Understanding.
D．Supportive.
【3】What could AI do in Stephen Hawking’s opinion?
A．Be a great threat to human beings.
B．Learn the human emotions like fear.
C．Predict the future of the human race.
D．Turn horrible tales into scary stories.
【4】Which part of a newspaper is the text most probably taken from?
A．Technology.
B．Health.
C．Culture.
D．Nature.
23、 Cal Fire captain Shawn Raley barked evacuation (疏散) orders over the radio for the neighbourhood of Sunset Terrace. The sky was red and the wind screamed, shaking the leaves off the trees. New fires lit in bushes and on roofs. A 24-year veteran of wildland fires, Raley had seen nearly everything, including swirling eddies (旋涡) of air called fire whirls. But he hadn’t seen anything like this.
At around 7:15 p. m., he drove toward areas in the wooded hills. He figured that residents would need help escaping. His headlights barely pierced the smoke, but he could see three bulldozers (推土机) inch past him on two-lane Buenaventura Boulevard. Don Andrews, who was unaware of the dangers he was about to face, drove one; contractors Terry Cummings and Jimmie Jones drove the other two. They were under electrical line, which were swaying in the wind, and Raley shouted at the men to move away.
In the driveway of a house, Raley spotted a Tesla with someone in the driver’s seat. Dr. Thiruvoipati Nanda Kumar, 62, had raced eight kilometres home from Vibra Hospital of Northern California. His wife, Yasoda, 58, and daughter, Sushma, 29, hadn’t received an evacuation alert, and when the power cut out, their garage door wouldn’t open, locking their car inside.
“Go back!” Raley shouted at Kumar, sounding his siren.
“My wife and daughter are there. Can they come in?” Kumar said, pointing to Raley’s vehicle. He figured they’d be safest with the captain.
“Come in my truck?” Raley asked. “Yes.”
The women jumped into the back seat, coughing. Nearby, flames that climbed 30 metres burned their neighbours’ homes. Soon theirs would fall, as well.
“I’ll lead you out,” Raley yelled to Kumar. “Take your car.”
Debris (碎片) attacked the truck, cracking Raley’s windshield and breaking the other windows as the wind blew the vehicle off the road. The captain threw himself across the passenger seat, protecting his face as the fire passed over them. Yasoda and Sushma screamed.
“Are you okay?” Raley shouted, though he knew the answer. He was embarrassed. He’d told this trapped family that he would get them out safely. Now they were covered in glass and bleeding. Behind them, the trunk of Kumar’s Tesla was a flame.
【1】What can we learn about Raley?
A.He has never seen fire whirls before.
B.He is quite experienced in dealing with wildland fires.
C.He was so angry that he shouted at Don to move away from the road.
D.He decided to save the Kumar’s family out of the fire in his truck immediately he saw them.
【2】Which of the following statements is RIGHT?
A.The smoke was so heavy that Raley could hardly see the road.
B.There were three persons driving bulldozers quickly on the two-lane road.
C.Dr. Kumar with his wife and daughter was trapped in the car when the power cut off.
D.The doctor’s house was burnt down to the group when Raley arrived.
【3】Why was Raley embarrassed in the last paragraph?
A.Because he was injured by the fire.
B.Because his truck was blown off the road.
C.Because he felt he would fail to keep his word to save the family out.
D.Because he couldn’t protect the Kumar’s Tesla well.
【4】Which is the best title of the article?
A.A Big Wildland Blaze B.A Lucky Family
C.Come in My Truck D.I’ll Lead You Out
