24、A phenomenon known as “kuakuaqun” or “praise groups” has taken Chinese social media by storm. The number of related topics on Weibo has reached more than 23 million. Users can join a chat group on WeChat or QQ, where they are showered with varieties of generous praise and encouragement. Praising others like this is also very popular among teens who prefer to call it “Rainbow Fart”.
Just imagine the scenes: You get an A in an exam and you want to get some praise. When you post it into a praise group, you are praised for not only your efforts but also being as clever as Albert Einstein. It’s 10 p.m. and you are the only person in the office. You receive a reply, “You are so hardworking! You’ll definitely get a promotion (升职)! Praise to you!” Even if you go to a toilet and forget taking some tissue, someone points out that “you’re caring about trees and the environment! Good for you!”
How would you feel?
The appearance of “praise groups” provides an opportunity for ordinary people who cannot get positive feedback easily in their daily life to get comfort from their hearts. It also shows the life and social pressure of today’s young people. Moreover, the popularity of these chat groups is a reflection of Chinese culture which values modesty and humility — people often hide their true emotion of seeking and giving praise. As long as people’s praise doesn’t sound obviously untruthful, you’re likely to welcome it. Being richly affirmed (肯定) for what you door who you are — just feel good. Sometimes, people enjoy praising others as well, just because here they can drop everything and have fun by giving lavish (夸张的) comments. However, some people are also willing to encourage and support others from their hearts.
Some netizens (网民) shared their ideas, “I take it as a way of adjusting the mood. The praise group helps in adding our confidence. Some sincere praises can even be inspiring. However, if you’re really in trouble, it is you who holds the final key.” Clearly, some dishonest praise comes at a cost. Chen Kan, an associate professor in Fudan University’s psychology department warned that “The biggest risk is to continue to stress on the ‘false self’, which makes it harder to see the ‘true self’.” In the end, people in the group will find that such unreasonable praise doesn’t help solve the real problem. Soon the whole group will be silent and dead.
Perhaps the praise groups are “a flash in the pan”, which might disappear sooner or later. No matter how you think of it, only when you can understand the pressure, criticism and praise correctly, will you face them bravely. Don’t lose yourself in others’ voices—that is what really matters.
【1】The writer mentions the examples in Paragraph 2 to show .
A.what people can get from “praise groups”
B.when people need to join “praise groups”
C.how people can join “praise groups”
D.who wants to join “praise groups”
【2】Why do people like to join “praise groups”?
A.To hide real feelings of themselves.

A.we should see ourselves correctly and positively
B.praise group is effective for dealing with troubles
C.we should speak highly of others to please each other
D.praise group is necessary for building self-confidence
【4】Which is the best title for the passage?
A.“Praise Group”: Does it benefit to know yourself?
B.“Praise Group”: Does it change your personality?
C.“Praise Group”: Is it important to praise others?
D.“Praise Group”: Is it worth giving it a try?
25、 “Why do I live? Why do I wish for anything, or do anything? Is there anything my my life that will not be destroyed by my death?” Like Leo Tolstoy, the famous Russian writer, many people ask these difficult questions. Tolstoy spent his whole life trying to answer these difficult questions.
As a young man, he thought people could achieve perfection if they tried hard enough. So he worked very hard to be the best in everything. He thought that he would find meaning and truth in success.
In the 1850s, Tolstoy wrote his first stories. He wrote about his life in the army. He also told stories about his childhood. These works were published and Tolstoy became a well-known writer.
He earned the respect he always wanted. Many rich and smart men met and talked with Tolstoy. Some of them were writers like him. They talked a lot about faith(信仰) and the meaning of life. But soon Tolstoy recognized that these men were not perfect. Now he knew they could not answer his questions about faith.
So in the 1860s, Tolstoy tried a different way to find the meaning of life. He opened a school for the children of his serfs— the people who worked on his land. These workers were very poor. He wanted to help them because he thought they were more honest than the rich people he knew.
Tolstoy learned a lot from his workers. He understood how they worked hard to support their families. He began to believe that marriage and family would give his life meaning. So in 1862, Leo Tolstoy married a young woman named Sonya Behrs.
The next 15 years were the best years of Tolstoy’s life. It was during this time that he wrote his most famous books— War and Peace and Anna Karenina. Many experts say that War and Peace is one of the greatest books ever written. In these books, Tolstoy believed humans should live a simple life and take care of their families. Tolstoy thought this would satisfy him and bring him happiness.
Leo Tolstoy is still a very respected writer today. His faith and writings have influenced many people all over the world.

26、
AI is a double-edged sword. It can help us, but also cause us harm. Who is using AI? Is AI replacing humans? What should we do to avoid the risks and dangers that AI might bring?
Artificial intelligence is set to benefit mankind in many ways. It will make everyday tasks easier and bring efficiency to various industries. It might just prove to be one of man's greatest inventions.
And yet, like any other technology, ▲ . In February 2018, a group of AI experts got together to discuss the possible misuse of AI. What they found was that "Every AI advance by the good guys is an advance for the bad guys, too," according to Quartz.
Their biggest concern was that criminals (罪犯) could use AI for wrongful purposes. One of the areas they looked at was the use of AI to create websites that could be used to steal people's personal information. Another possibility is that AI programs could be taught to hack software and break into computer secure systems.
There are some other concerns as well. It is possible that AI could be used to create fake images and videos. Chinese tech giant Baidu, in fact, has developed a program called Deep Voice that can "clone" anyone's voice by studying a 3.7-second audio sample.
Many leading figures in the tech world have expressed concern about AI. People like Bill Gates and Elon Musk have called for the industry to be more strictly regulated, as there are few laws right now on the use of AI.
However, this is set to change. In March 2018, the European Union plans to set up a group that will discuss the moral and ethical dangers of advanced AI – and hopefully, suggest some regulations that will help us keep it safe for mankind.
【1】Which of the following can be put in ▲ in Paragraph 3?
A.AI makes our life easier
B.AI will also bring risks
C.AI is around us everyday
D.AI beats human in many ways
【2】Some experts have concerns about AI because ________.
A.it makes people lazier
B.it is developing too fast
C.it will replace workers in the future
D.some people may use it to do bad things
【3】Deep Voice is mentioned to show ________.
A.how AI is developed
B.what AI can do in the future
C.why Baidu is a tech giant
D.how AI can copy voices
【4】We can infer from the passage that _______.
A.there may be new laws to regulate the use of AI.
B.AI will bring more harm than benefit to mankind.
C.many AI programmers will become criminals.
D.there will only be fake news and videos online.
【5】This passage is written mainly to ________.
A.tell readers that AI is a new invention
B.introduce what AI is really about
C.show that AI also has disadvantages
D.suggest some rules for AI
27、I heard the following curious story from a railway acquaintance (相识的人). He was a gentleman of more than seventy years of age, and his good face and sincere manner put the stamp of truth on everything he said.
“You know, in Siam the royal white elephant is very important. It is sacred to kings, and only kings can have a white elephant. And white elephants are more important than the king.”
Very well…five years ago…
After a misunderstanding between the countries, the King of Siam decides to send the Queen of England a present. This present must be a royal one. And what present can be as royal as a white elephant? It is my job to deliver the present to her Majesty the Queen. I travel with my servants, and the officers and helpers of the elephant, in a ship. Soon we arrive in New York harbour and I find a place for my royal elephant to stay in Jersey City. The elephant is not well and we must stay in New York until the doctors say he is better and can travel again.
_________________________________. I get a phone call in the middle of the night: the white elephant is stone! For some moments I feel helpless. Then I become calmer. There is only one thing I can do. I hurry to New York City and ask the first policeman that I meet to bring me to the headquarters (总部) of the police force. I am fortunate. The chief of the force, the well-known Inspector Blunt, is there. I tell him everything. He does not seem at all surprised. He asks me to sit down and says calmly, “Let me think for a moment, please.”
Then he sits down at his office table and leans his head on his hand. Some people are working at the other end of the room. For the next six or seven minutes the only sound I can hear is the sound of their pens. The inspector sits quietly, thinking. Finally he raises his head, and I can see from his face that he has a plan.

Can you remember where you were and what you were doing on Saturday, July 24, 2010? Probably not. However, at least 80,000 people around the world remember c【1】. They all shot videos about their lives on that particular day and uploaded (上传) them on the Internet. They hoped that their videos could be a p【2】 of a film.
After people had uploaded the videos, two famous directors, Ridley Scott and Kevin Macdonald, chose some videos and remade them into a complete film. It took them more than one year. The r【3】is Life in a Day, a 90-minute documentary (纪录片) about lives of ordinary people. The film starts with people waking up, brushing their teeth and preparing breakfast. Then it shows what people around the world do d【4】 the day.
To make the videos, people were given several basic questions: What do you love most? What do you fear most? Or simply, what’s in your pocket? People could also choose to shoot anything about their d【5】 life. Most of the stories were exciting and interesting.
One brief scene shows a Japanese boy who lives with his father in an apartment. When the boy says good morning to a picture of his mother on a table, we r【6】 his mother has died. The film also introduces us to many other memorable characters: an American soldier, an Afghan news photographer, a shoeshine boy…
The producers also sent about 400 cameras to people in the developing world who might not have heard of the project or were not connected to the Internet.
The film has m【7】 a lot of people, because everything shown in the film is so real and simple. It is about family, children, love, not being alone, not wanting to live through a war, feeling frightened of illness and death. That’s what life is.
