Being a superhero to others

Ewan Drum has always liked superheroes. He likes how they help people. At age seven, he told his parents, “I want to dress up like a superhero and help the homeless. ” 1.Wearing his red superhero cape (斗篷), Ewan helped pass out 70 bag lunches to hungry people in a park in Detroit, Michigan. That’s how Super Ewan was born.

2.People donated(捐赠) money and supplies (供给物), and Ewan took them to those in need.

When someone donated jugs(大罐) of water, Ewan and his family drove their car to get even more. They took the water to Flint, Michigan, a city that had unsafe drinking water. Another time, a businessman donated six turkeys(火鸡) for Thanksgiving.3.“In the end”, he says,“we gave 64 turkey dinners to families all around Detroit.”

Ewan has a motto: Everyone can be a superhero to someone. At an event called the Hero Round Table, Ewan told the audience,“It’ s not hard to help people.You can keep some socks and food in your car to help people in need. You can help a neighbor with doing the garden. 4. .”

It' s been several years since Super Ewan started his task. Every month, he still visits the same park to hand out clothes, food, and supplies to people who are hungry or homeless ---his Super Friends. 5.

1. E 2. A 3. G 4. D 5. B 【解析】 本文是一篇记叙文,Ewan Drum是一位慈善家,七岁的时候就开始帮助他人,在他人眼里他就是一位超级英雄。 1.根据横线后句“Wearing his red superhero cape (斗篷), Ewan helped pass out70 bag lunches to hungry people in a park in Detroit, Michigan.”可知Ewan把70袋的午餐分发给饥饿的人。这种慈善行为是要事先计划的,E项“A few months later, Ewan ’s family planned a day of giving.”符合上下文语境,故选择E项。 2.根据横线后句“People donated(捐赠) money and supplies (供给物), and Ewan took them to those in need.”可知人们捐钱捐物给Ewan,可知他的善良行为被人们所熟知。A项“News spread about Ewan’ s act of kindness.”符合上下文语境,故选择A项。 3.根据横线前句“Another time, a businessman donated six turkeys(火鸡) for Thanksgiving.”可知有人捐了六只火鸡,本句应该讲述Ewan如何处理火鸡。G项“With his parents’ help, Ewan asked for more turkeys through the Internet, plus side dishes.”讲述的正是此项内容,符合上下文语境,故选择G项。 4.横线前面两句“You can keep some socks and food in your car to help people in need. You can help a neighbor with doing the garden.”所列举的是日常生活中我们可以做的帮助他人的小事,这些微不足道的小事会让别人感觉很幸福。D项“Every little thing helps and can make someone feel happy.”与语境相符,故选择D项。 5.根据最后一段“No matter what, ”Ewan says, “I will always keep helping people.”可知无论发生什么事情,Ewan都会一直坚持帮助他人。B项“This superhero says he’ ll never take off his cape.”符合上下文语境,故选择B项。

Alexa is a form of artificial intelligence, or AI for short. Many people start their mornings by asking Alexa for the weather forecast or the latest news. A device(设备) that houses Alexa can also play music from your favorite playlists, keep a shopping list, order takeout food, answer questions, send messages and even run “smart” home controls.

Training AI systems to respond to problems with human-like intelligence and learn from their mistakes can take months, or even years. Consider Alexa and similar software, such as Apple’s Siri. To do the tasks its human owners ask, these systems must make sense of and then respond to sentences such as, “Alexa, play my Ed Sheeran playlist” or “Siri, what is the capital of India?”

Computers can’ t understand language as it is spoken by people. So AI researchers must find a way to help humans communicate with computers. The technology used to get computers to “understand” human speech or text is known as natural language processing. By natural language, computer scientists refer to the way people naturally talk or write. To teach an AI system a task like comprehending(理解) a sentence or responding to a person ’s last move in a board game, scientists need to feed it lots of examples.

AlphaGo is an AI system designed by Google that has beaten a human champion, Lee Sedol, at the strategy(策略) board game Go. To train AlphaGo, Google had to show it 30 million Go moves that people had made while playing the game. Then AlphaGo used what it learned to analyze those plays as it played against different versions (版本) of itself. During this practice, the program came up with new moves---ones never seen in games between people.

1.What does the example of Alexa show?

A. AI may replace humans one day.    B. AI is playing a role in our modern life.

C. AI has been widely used around the world.    D. AI has totally changed people’s bad habits.

2.How do scientists train AI systems?

A. By testing them thousands of times.    B. By teaching them almost everything.

C. By giving them quite a lot of tasks to do.    D. By providing them with large amounts of data.

3.What can we learn about AlphaGo?

A. It has become very skillful and intelligent    B. It is the most convenient AI system.

C. It avoids making any mistakes    D. It just follows human orders

Nola (August 21, 1974 -November 22, 2015) was a northern white rhino who lived at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park near Escondido, California. At her death, she was one of only four remaining northern white rhinos in the world. The other three lived in Kenya. World Rhino Day, held on September 2, is to raise awareness(意识) of the less than 30,000 other rhinos left on Earth.

“Rhinos need our help today, not tomorrow,”Nola’s lead keeper Jane Kennedy said. “Last year we lost over 1,200 rhinos just in South Africa. If we continue to lose more than 1,000 rhinos a year, in 10 to 20 years all the rhinos on the planet will be gone.”

“Unfortunately, most animals are in danger of dying out because of humans,” Kennedy says.“ Humans have either poached animals, or because there are over seven billion of us, we’ ve taken up too much of the world’s resources ”. Poachers illegally hunt rhinos for their horns. They sell the horns for thousands of dollars per pound, to be used for art, jewelry, and decorations.Experts believe that one rhino is poached every eight hours.

In 1975, the San Diego Zoo Institute for Conservation Research started the Frozen Zoo, a program through which researchers have collected cell (细胞) samples from more than 8,000 different types of animals, including the northern white rhino. Scientists hope that by studying the rhino cells, they will get greater understanding of it, and will find ways to increase its numbers.

Jane Kennedy describes World Rhino Day as “a celebration of rhinos along with an awareness campaign for everybody across the world to know that rhinos need our help.”At the San Diego Zoo, children and adults are welcome to visit and speak with zookeepers to learn about rhinos. But you don’ t have to live in San Diego to celebrate World Rhino Day. It is observed around the world, with zoos and wildlife parks holding special events and programs to teach people about rhinos, and enable them to see the animals up close. For more information, go to www.worldrhinoday.org.

1.What do we know about Nola?

A. It was a baby white rhino.

B. It was one of the last of its kind.

C. It lived with other northern white rhinos in Kenya.

D. It died on September 22 at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park.

2.What troubled Jane Kennedy according to Paragraph 2?

A. The rhinos’ uncertain future.    B. The rhinos’ strange activities.

C. The limited natural resources.    D. The rare animals in South Africa.

3.What does the Frozen Zoo aim to do?

A. Invent new kinds of animals.    B. Keep animals from dying out.

C. Prevent rhinos from being hunted.    D. Raise public awareness of rhinos.

4.What is the main purpose of the last paragraph?

A. To help people know more about animals.    B. To encourage people to protect rhinos.

C. To report special events in San Diego.    D. To introduce World Rhino Day.

One Sunday, Nicholas, a teenager, went skiing at Sugarloaf Mountain in Maine. In the early afternoon, when he was planning to go home, a fierce snowstorm swept into the area.Unable to see far, he accidentally turned off the path. Before he knew it, Nicholas was lost, all alone! He didn’t have food, water, a phone, or other supplies. He was getting colder by the minute.

Nicholas had no idea where he was. He tried not to panic(惊慌). He thought about all the survival shows he had watched on TV. It was time to put the tips he had learned to use.

He decided to stop skiing. There was a better chance of someone finding him if he stayed put. The first thing he did was to find shelter from the freezing wind and snow. If he didn’t, his body temperature would get very low, which could quickly kill him.

Using his skis, Nicholas built a snow cave. He gathered a huge mass of snow and dug out a hole in the middle. Then he piled branches on top of himself, like a blanket, to stay as warm as he could.

By that evening, Nicholas was really hungry. He ate snow and drank water from a nearby stream so that his body wouldn’t lose too much water.Not knowing how much longer he could last, Nicholas did the only thing he could--- he huddled in his cave and slept.

The next day, Nicholas went out to look for help, but he couldn’t find anyone. He followed his tracks and returned to the snow cave, because without shelter, he could die that night. On Tuesday, Nicholas went out to find help. He had walked for about a mile when a volunteer searcher found him. After two days stuck in the snow, Nicholas was saved.

Nicholas might not have survived this snowstorm had it not been for TV. He had often watched Grylls’ survival show Man Vs. Wild. That’s where he learned the tips that saved his life. In each episode of Man Vs. Wild, Grylls is abandoned in a wild area and has to find his way out.

When Grylls heard about Nicholas’ amazing deeds, he was super impressed that Nicholas had made it since he knew better than anyone how hard Nicholas had to work to stay alive.

1.What happened to Nicholas one Sunday afternoon?

2.How did Nicholas keep himself warm?
