26、Most of the time, people wear hats to protect themselves fromharshweather conditions. Hats are also worn to show politeness and as signs of social position. But nowadays, hats, especially women’s hats, are much more than that. More exactly, hats have changed into fashion and style symbols by many movie stars. What’s more, people now consider many different features (特点)when choosing even a simple hat. Many designers point out that, when choosing the right hat, it’s important to consider the color of your skin as well as your hair, your height, and the shape of your face.
First of all, the color of the hat should match the color of your skin and hair. For instance, black hats should be avoided if you are dark skinned. If a purple hat is placed on top of red hair, one will look as attractive as a summer flower. Second, the height of the hat is also an important point. Tall women should not go for hats with tall crowns, just as short women should choose hats with upturned brims to give the look of height. Third, and most importantly, the shape of the face decides the kind of hat one should pick. A small, gentle hat that fits the head looks good on a small face. However, women with big, round faces should choose a different style.
As the saying goes, “Fine feathers make fine birds.” A good hat can not only help your dress but also support your features, so why not choose the best possible one next time you want to be in public?
【1】What does the underlined word “harsh” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?
A.good B.strange C.poor D.different
【2】According to the article, which of the following women would look most attractive?
A.A big-faced woman who wears a small, nice hat.
B.A short red-haired woman who wears a purple hat.
C.A tall woman who wears a hat with a huge upturned brim.
D.A small dark-skinned woman who wears a black hat with a tall crown.
【3】What does the last paragraph suggest?
A.Hats are worn on the head to keep warm.
B.Hats can help you look better in public.
C.Hats are not as important as character.
D.Hats can make you look much taller.
【4】What is the best title for the article?
A.How to Show Your Social Position B.How to Improve Your Features
C.How to Choose a Proper Hat D.How to Design a Nice Hat
27、When Ariella Pacheco of California was still a little girl, her parents let her pick out an American girl doll. She picked one that had the same hair color and style as her.
“She looked like me and I felt there was a piece of me in her,” Pacheco, 17, said. “You see yourself in a doll and it’s really special to have that connection.”
But what about children with rare medical conditions who don’t look like anyone else? One day in January this year, Pacheco read a story about doll designer Amy Jandrisevits. Her “A Doll Like Me” project makes look alike dolls for children with disabilities. Pacheco wanted to make similar dolls.
Over the past several months, Pacheco has designed and sewn (缝制) cloth dolls for four local kids who have birthmarks, surgical scars (手术疤痕), or other special physical features. Pacheco asked the kids about their favorite sports and hobbies. She also watched doll-making vides and attended sewing camp.
One of the doll receivers is no longer a child, but she’s honored to have been chosen for the project. Zulema Gillett, 21 of Temecula has a particular disease, which caused her to be born with a cleft lip (唇裂) and only one ear. “Who doesn’t want a doll that los like them and that they could relate to?” Gillett said It’s really nice and very thoughtful.”
After she got her own sewing machine, Pacheco taught herself to sew blankets and clothes for the dolls She designed her own patterns and figured out how to re-create the children’s various appearances. It was important for her that the children could recognize themselves in the dolls However, their differences were not the most noticeable feature.
“I really value the beauty in little things,” Pacheco said. Each of these kids is so unique, so special. I hope through these dolls they can see themselves in a new light and rally appreciate their beauty.”

28、Never play games with a bot (机器人)—it will find a way to cheat if it can. A team from OpenAI, an artificial intelligence lab in San Francisco co-founded by Elon Musk, has developed artificially intelligent bots that taught themselves to cooperate by playing hide-and-seek. The bots also learned how to use basic tools and that disobeying the laws of physics can help to win.
In April, 2019, a team of bots known as the OpenAI Five beat the human world champions at the team-based video game Dota 2. The hide-and-seek bots use similar principles to learn but the simpler game allows for more inventive play.
Bowen Baker at OpenAI and his colleagues wanted to see if the team-based dynamics of the OpenAI Five could be used to create skills that could one day be useful to humans. The researchers set their bots loose in a simulated (模拟的) environment filled with fixed walls and movable boxes and left them to play team games of hide-and-seek millions of times. The bots each had their own view of the world and couldn’t communicate with each other directly. At first, the hiders simply ran away. However, they soon worked out that they could find objects in the environment to hide themselves from view. For example, they learned that boxes could be used to block doorways and build simple hiding places. The seekers learned that they could move a ramp (斜坡) around and use it to climb over walls. The bots then discovered that being a team player was the quickest way to win.
The hiders also learned to sabotage the other team, such as hiding the ramp before hiding themselves so that the other team can’t make use of the ramp. “Once one team learns a new strategy, it creates this pressure for the other team to adapt,” says Baker.
Such tricks show that AIs are able to find solutions that humans miss, says Baker. “Maybe they’ll even be able to solve problems that humans don’t yet know how to,” However, there’s still a long way to go from online hide-and-seek to real problem-solving.

29、 Katherine Rooks remembers when she first learned that a punctuation mark (标点符号) could be so powerful. The Denver-based writer had sent her high school-aged son a text message — coming home from school. “I could tell from his response that he was offended (冒犯) all of sudden. And when he came home, he walked in the door, came over and said, ‘What did you mean by this?’” Rooks was confused. How could a simple text message send confusion?
“And so we looked at the text together and I said. ‘Well, I meant, see you later, or something. I don’t remember exactly what it said.’ And he said, ‘But you ended with a period (句号)! I thought you were really angry!’” Rooks wasn’t angry, and she explained to her son that periods are how you end a sentence.
But in text messaging — at least for younger adults — periods do more than just end a sentence: they also can set tone. Gretchen McCulloch, linguist (语言学家) said that when it comes to text messaging, the period has lost its original purpose because rather than needing a symbol to indicate the end of a sentence, you can simply hit send at the end of your message. That doesn’t mean the period has lost all purposes in text messaging. Now it can be used to indicate the gravity of a situation or a sense of finality (终结).
However, caution is needed, said McCulloch, noting that problems can start to arise when you combine a period with a positive emotion, such as “Sure.” or “Sounds good.” “Now you’ve got positive words and serious punctuation and the clash between them is what creates that sense of passive-aggression (消极对抗),” said McCulloch.
Our language has developed, and “what we have done with our incredible linguistic genius is finding ways to insert some kind of emotional, interpersonal information into texting,” said Celia Klin, a psychology professor at Binghamton University. “And what we have is things like periods, emoticons and other kinds of punctuation. So people have repurposed the period to mean something else.” And that something else is passive-aggression.
【1】What left Rooks at a loss?
A．Her son’s untimely coming home.
B．Her son’s heavy reliance on text messages.
C．Her son’s inability to adapt to high school life.
D．Her son’s unexpected reaction to the message.
【2】What did the son think of the period?
A．It aroused his anger.
B．It meant seriousness to him.
C．It brought embarrassment to him.
D．It appeared in an improper position.
【3】What does the underlined word “clash” in paragraph 4 mean?
A．Interval.
B．Exchange.
C．Mismatch.
D．Association.
【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A．The basic rules of punctuation
B．Passive-aggression from punctuation
C．debate about language development
D．Parents’ trouble with passive-aggression
