21、阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
The Gunpowder Plot was conspiracy (阴谋) to kill King James I, as well as the members of the House of Lords and Commons at the re-opening of Parliament. It was designed by a group of Catholics in protest against the anti-Catholic laws that were being introduced by the king.
Robert Catesby was the leader of the group. It was he and his cousin, Thomas Wintour, and two other friends, Thomas Percy and John Wright, who formed the center of the group. They were joined by nine more men; among them was Guy Fawkes, from the city of York in the north of England.
Fawkes found a store room directly under the House of Lords and rented it out under the false name of John Johnson. The conspirators stored thirty-six barrels of gunpowder there, and Fawkes, who was an explosives expert, was to light the fuses (引信) on 5th November 1605.
The plot failed because one of the conspirators, Francis Tresham, sent a letter to his relative, who was a member of the House of Lords. The letter warned him not to attend the opening ceremony of Parliament. The letter was passed on to the authorities, who took action.
Guy Fawkes was found in the cellar on the night of 4th November with the thirty-six barrels and a number of fuses. He was imprisoned and ill-treated, eventually giving away the names of the conspirators.
Soldiers of the king surrounded Holbeach House, in the Midlands, where they knew the conspirators to be hiding. In the fight that followed, four of them were shot dead, including Catesby and Percy, who were actually killed by the same bullet. The others were imprisoned and hanged along with Guy Fawkes on 31st January 1606.
These days, on 5th November, children all over Britain celebrate Guy Fawkes Night by building huge bonfires and lighting fireworks. It's a family tradition and an occasion to eat potatoes baked by the flames. There is always a 'guy' on top of the fire, a model of Guy Fawkes, dressed in the clothes of the 17th century.

22、This year marks exactly two centuries since the publication of “Frankenstein; or, The Modem Prometheus,” by Mary Shelley. Even before the invention of the electric light bulb, the author produced a remarkable work of speculative fiction that would foreshadow (预示) many ethical questions to be raised by technologies yet to come.
Today the rapid growth of artificial intelligence (Al) raises fundamental questions: “What is intelligence, identity, or consciousness? What makes humans humans?” What is being called artificial general intelligence, machines that would imitate the way humans think, continue to puzzle scientists. Yet humans remain fascinated by the idea of robots that would look, move and respond like humans, similar to those depicted on sci-fi TV series such as “Humans”. Just how people think is still far too complex to be understood, let alone reproduced, says David Eagleman, a Stanford University neuroscientist. “We are just in a situation where there are no good theories explaining what consciousness actually is and how you could ever build a machine to get there.”
But that doesn’t mean crucial ethical issues involving AI aren’t at hand. The coming use of autonomous vehicles, for example, poses thorny (棘手的) ethical questions. Human drivers sometimes must make split-second decisions. Their reactions may be a complex combination of instant reflexes, input from past driving experiences, and what their eyes and ears tell them in that moment. AI “vision” today is not nearly as sophisticated as that of humans. And to anticipate every imaginable driving situation is a difficult programming problem.
Whenever decisions are based on masses of data, “you quickly get into a lot of ethical questions,” notes Tan Kiat How, chief executive of a Singapore-based agency that is helping the government develop a voluntary code for the ethical use of Al. Along with Singapore, other governments and mega-corporations are beginning to establish their own guidelines. Britain is setting up a data ethics center India released its Al ethics strategy this spring.
On June 7 Google promised not to design or employ Al that would cause “overall harm,” or to develop Al-directed weapons or use AI for surveillance (监视) that would break international norms (规则). It also promised not to employ AI whose use would violate international laws or human rights.
While the statement is vague, it represents one starting point. So does the idea that decisions made by Al systems should be explainable, transparent, and fair.
To put it another way: How can we make sure that the thinking of intelligent machines reflects humanity’s highest values? Only then will they be useful servants and not Frankenstein’s out-of-control monster.
【1】Mary Shelley’s novel Frankenstein is mentioned because it________.
A．fascinates AI scientists all over the world
B．has remained popular for as long as 200 years
C．involves some concerns raised by Al today
D．has sparked serious ethical controversies
【2】In David Eagleman’s opinion, our current knowledge of consciousness________.
A．helps explain artificial intelligence
B．can be misleading to robot making
C．inspires popular sci-fi TV series
D．is too limited for us to reproduce it
【3】The solution to the ethical issues brought by autonomous vehicles________.
A．can hardly ever be found
B．is still beyond our capacity
C．causes little public concern
D．has aroused much curiosity
【4】Which of the following would be the best title for the text?
A．AI’s Future: In the Hands of Tech Giants
B．Frankenstein, the Novel Predicting the Age of AI
C．The Conscience of AI: Complex but Inevitable
D．AI Shall Be Killers Once Out of Control
23、 Teens and preteens who start the school day really early tend to weigh slightly more than those who start later. That’s the finding of a new study of nearly 30, 000 Canadians between the ages of 10 and 18. These data are the latest evidence that starting school too early can harm health.
“We know from earlier studies that when school starts too early, kids can’t get the sleep they need,” says Genevieve Gariepy. She works at Mcgill University in Montreal, Canada. Getting too little sleep can put kids at risk for a number of problems. Sleepy teens are more likely to be overweight, to have trouble concentrating and to struggle in school. They also are at higher risk of feeling depressed, using alcohol or drugs and getting in car accidents.
As an epidemiologist (流行病学家), Gariepy is interested in patterns of disease. She studies teen obesity，or extreme overweight. In this study，she wanted to know how earlier school start times might be linked to weight.
“Overweight and obesity in adolescents is a big problem in North America,” she says. The number of overweight kids has grown over the past 30 years. About one in three U. S. and Canadian teens are now overweight or obese. Kids who don’t sleep enough may be at higher risk. So Gariepy decided to find more about the impact of school start times.
Her team collected start times of 362 Canadian schools and found that among “6 to 10” graders, those who started school earlier tended to be slightly heavier for their height. Every 10-minute delay in school start time was linked, on average, to a slightly lower weight among students who were the same sex, age and height. But it’s not clear that changing school start time would help heavier kids lose weight. To know for sure, researchers would want to compare the same kids before and after changing to a later school start time.
【1】What is the function of the first paragraph?
A.To introduce the main topic.
B.To show concern for teenagers
C.To show the importance of the study.
D.To offer advice on school starting time.
【2】What does Gariepy want to find out in her research?
A.How to rid adolescents of being overweight.
B.The links between school start times and teen obesity.
C.Why more and more students are becoming obese.
D.The most suitable sleep time for school students.
【3】What can we infer about the study of Gariepy and her team?
A.A 10-minute delay is enough. B.Schools may value its conclusion.
C.Its conclusion is reliable. D.More work remains to be done
【4】What can be a suitable title of this text?
A.Experts Worry about the Health of Adolescents.
B.Overweight Becomes Common among teenagers.
C.Study Links Weight to School Starting Time.
D.Students Tend to Sleep Less Than Before.
24、A student named Bruce sent me an email. He said, “My parents promised me a trip to California Disneyland if I get good grades in the final exams. 【1】. Why do adults connect everything with school grades?”
The following are my tips about his problem:
I understand your problem, and this must be frustrating to hear. Studies are important in a young person’s life. 【2】. However, too much stress could have a negative influence on your mood and even how you perform at school.
For the time being, it is best to have a positive attitude. 【3】. However, if you feel that your parents are putting you under too much pressure, then be honest and tell them how you feel. This way in the future when you have more exams, they will be less likely to put you in such an awkward situation, in which your results directly determine how they treat you.
【4】 if you explain to them your annoyance and how the added stress will be counter-productive (产生反效果的) for your exam performance.
It may be a long time since your parents were at school so they may find it difficult to understand your situation. I remember the days when I endlessly studied for exams, worrying before the big day came. 【5】, instead of worrying about the future consequences of any result. As a general rule for exams, try to make sure you have a schedule that allows you time to relax. I found this incredibly useful in helping me keep focused.
Be honest with your parents. At the end of the day, you are still fortunate enough that you have the chance of a trip after the exams are over.
A．But if I don’t, they will cancel the trip
B．Don’t expect much from them
C．I always found it best to focus on the task at hand
D．Your parents want to reward you for your hard work
E．I feel full of confidence and so open to possibilities
F．They may think differently about how they offer motivation
G．Try and let this potential reward motivate you if you can
