    Hello! My name is Aurora Carlson. I was born in England, educated in both the French and American schooling systems, and lived most of my life in various places around the United States.

1.

This undying love for everything Chinese started when I was 16. On somewhat of a whim(奇想), I decided to spend a year  as an exchange  student in Beijing,  attending a  local Chinese High School and living  with  a wonderful Chinese host family.2.After just one year, I became mad about everything in here.

3. I received a B.A. in Chinese and East Asian Studies from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and can speak and write Mandarin Chinese on a near-native level. Though I am fully aware of the land and have traveled quite a lot throughout the country, my curiosity in the studies of China never fades. 4.  A place that once upon a time seemed such a faraway     land now feels like a second home; a home with the most welcoming of neighbors.

In my free time, I love to do yoga and cook.5.I hope you join me in Rediscovering China, to explore this wonderful place from a unique foreign viewpoint.

A.I graduated from University of California, Berkeley.

B.I find it really hard to put down Chinese history books.

C.Unfortunately, I have not yet mastered Chinese cuisine.

D.I have landed at CCTV by way of a strong interest in China.

E.On the contrary, it seems that the more I learn, my interest grows even stronger.

F.Before this, I really had no knowledge or connection to this faraway land, just young curiosity.

G.Since then, my life has seemed to focus on gaining a better understanding of the country and its people.

 

A team of engineers at Harvard University has been inspired by Nature to create the first robotic fly. The mechanical fly has become a platform for a series of new high-tech integrated systems. Designed to do what a fly does naturally, the tiny machine is the size of a fat housefly. Its mini wings allow it to stay in the air and perform controlled flight tasks.

“It’s extremely important for us to think about this as a whole system and not just the sum of a bunch of individual components (元件),” said Robert Wood, the Harvard engineering professor who has been working on the robotic fly project for over a decade. A few years ago, his team got the go-ahead to start piecing together the components. “The added difficulty with a project like this is that actually none of those components are off the shelf and so we have to develop them all on our own,” he said.

They engineered a series of systems to start and drive the robotic fly. “The seemingly simple system which just moves the wings has a number of interdependencies on the individual components, each of which individually has to perform well, but then has to be matched well to everything it’s connected to,” said Wood. The flight device was built into a set of power, computation, sensing and control systems. Wood says the success of the project proves that the flying robot with these tiny components can be built and manufactured.

While this first robotic flyer is linked to a small, off-board power source, the goal is eventually to equip it with a built-in power source, so that it might someday perform data-gathering work at rescue sites, in farmers’ fields or on the battlefield. “Basically it should be able to take off, land and fly around,” he said.

Wood says the design offers a new way to study flight mechanics and control at insect-scale. Yet, the power, sensing and computation technologies on board could have much broader applications. “You can start thinking about using them to answer open scientific questions, you know, to study biology in ways that would be difficult with the animals, but using these robots instead,” he said. “So there are a lot of technologies and open interesting scientific questions that are really what drives us on a day to day basis.”

1.The difficulty the team of engineers met with while making the robotic fly was that __________.

A.they had no model in their mind

B.they did not have sufficient time

C.they had no ready-made components

D.they could not assemble the components

2.It can be inferred from paragraphs 3 and 4 that the robotic fly __________.

A.consists of a flight device and a control system

B.can just fly in limited areas at the present time

C.can collect information from many sources

D.has been put into wide application

3.Which of the following can be learned from the passage?

A.The robotic flyer is designed to learn about insects.

B.Animals are not allowed in biological experiments.

C.There used to be few ways to study how insects fly.

D.Wood’s design can replace animals in some experiments.

4.Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?

A.Father of Robotic Fly

B.Inspiration from Engineering Science

C.Robotic Fly Imitates Real Life Insect

D.Harvard Breaks Through in Insect Study

    Dolphin or not a dolphin?That is the question!You see,there are several types of dolphins.Some are saltwater dolphins while others are river dolphins.

What are the 32 types of dolphins?"When people are asking the question,they are actually referring to the saltwater dolphins in oceans and seas.The river dolphins living in fresh water,are not included in these species.But what would be the answer in this case if we ask,"Dolphin or not a dolphin?"The answer would obviously be yes.River dolphins still belong to the dolphin family.

Among the 32 types of dolphins,some do not actually wear the word"dolphin”in their names,such as the tucuxi,while others actually have the word"whale"as part of their names even if they are not whales but in fact,belong to the dolphin family,for example, the melon-headed whale and the killer whale.So what would be the answer to the questiondolphin or not a dolphin?"in these cases?It would be yes.All these species do belong to the dolphin family.

Another question that people ask is,"Are the sea animals that perform at aquariums all dolphins?"So,it always seems to come back to the question,"Dolphin or not a dolphin?"

Well the answer is no in this case.The sea animals that perform there are not all dolphins. The beluga which people tend to think belong to the dolphin family because they show what seems like a smile,like most dolphins,are in fact a species of the whale family.

Now that you read these facts about dolphins,you probably realize that certain sea animals may appear to be part of the dolphin species and that others seem to be part of the whale family,but in either case,it is not obvious and can be surprising when you identify a sea animal as being a dolphin or not a dolphin.That is the question!

1.What do we know about the majority of the dolphins?

Years ago, I celebrated my 40th with a large group of friends at a restaurant. As I stood on the sidewalk with my friends, a homeless man approached me and asked for money. I told him that I didn’t have any cash. He quietly smiled at me, and moved 1..

While 2.homeless man was still in earshot range, a friend who was just arriving called out, “Happy Birthday, Marc!” Upon hearing this, the man turned and asked, “Hey man, is it your Birthday?” “Yes, it is,” I said. He walked back to me, with a huge smile on his face, and said, “Happy Birthday, man!” I was completely unprepared for what happened next: the man reached into his pocket, pulled out a dollar bill, and gave it to me,3.(say) ,”Here man! Take this, Happy Birthday!”

Although I was deeply moved by this act of generosity,4.(accept) money from a homeless man was not within my comfort zone, so my 5.(respond) was,” Thanks! That’s very nice of you, but that’s OK.” The man looked 6.(direct) into my eyes and said,” Please brother, please take this. I feel so good,7.I always have a place to sleep and enough food to eat.” Finally, I reached out. He gave me the dollar, then held on for a moment and said, “Thank you, brother!”

Needless to say, that experience 8.(leave) me feeling like I had gained far more than $1!This was one of my 9.(great) life lessons showing that the essence(本质) of who we are is never defined by our human circumstances, and no matter how bad we may feel, we always have something of value 10.(share) with others.

第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

I was ten when I first sat with my grandmother behind the cashier(收银台) in her general store. ______71_______ I quickly learned the importance of treating customers politely and saying “thank you.”

At first I was paid in candy. ________72______ I worked every day after school, and during the summer and no weekends and holidays from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. My father helped me set up a bank account. ________73________

By the time I was 12, my grandmother thought I had done such a good job that she promoted me to selling cosmetics(化妆品). I developed the ability to look customers directly in the eye. Even though I was just a kid, women would ask me such things as “What color do you think I should wear?” I took a real interest in their questions and was able to translate what they wanted into makeup(化妆) ideas. ________74________

The job taught me a valuable lesson: to be a successful salesperson, you didn’t need to be a rocket scientist—you needed to be a great listener. ________75________ Except they are no longer women purchasing cosmetics from me; instead, they are kids who tell me which toys they would like to see designed and developed.

ALater I received 50 cents an hour.

BBefore long, she let me sit there by myself.

CI ended up selling a record amount of cosmetics.

DToday I still carry that lesson with me: I listen to customers.

 

E.My grandma’s trust taught me how to handle responsibility.

F.Soon I found myself looking more beautiful than ever before.

G.Watching my money grow was more rewarding than anything I could have bought.

 

I believe in the power of the unknown. I believe that a sense of the unknown pushes us forward in all of our creative activities, from science to art.

When I was a child, after bedtime I would often go to the window and stare at the stars. I had so many questions. How far away were those tiny points of light? Did space go on forever and ever, or was there some edge? And if so, what lay beyond the edge?

Another of my childhood questions: Did time go on forever? I looked at pictures of my parents and tried to imagine their parents, and so on, back through the generations. Does time go on forever? Or is there some beginning of time?

When I grew up, I became a professional astrophysicist. Although I never answered any of these questions, they continued to challenge me, to haunt me, to drive me in my scientific research, and to cause me to live on tuna fish and no sleep for days at a time while I was crazy about a science problem. These same questions, and questions like them, challenge and haunt the leading scientists of today.

Einstein once wrote that “the most beautiful experience we can have is the mysterious. It is the fundamental emotion which stands at the beginning of true art and true science.” What did Einstein mean by “the mysterious?” I don’t think he meant that science is full of unpredictable or unknowable or supernatural forces. I think that he meant a sense of awe, a sense that there are things larger than us, that we do not have all the answers at this moment, and that we can stand right at the boundary between known and unknown.

Scientists are happy, of course, when they find answers to questions. But scientists are also happy when they become stuck, when they discover interesting questions that they cannot answer. That is when their imaginations and creativity are set on fire. That is when the greatest progress occurs.

    Artificial intelligence, or AI, has been applied in a wide range of fields to perform specific tasks, including education, finance, heavy industry, transportation, and so on.

Education

There are a number of companies that create robots to teach subjects to children ranging from biology to computer science, though such tools have not become widespread yet. Advancements in natural language processing, combined with machine learning, have also enabled automatic grading of assignments. AI has also led to an explosion in popularity of MOOCs, or Massive Open Online Courses, which allows students from around the world to take classes online.

Finance

Use of AI in banking can be tracked back to 1987. Banks use artificial intelligence systems to organize operations, maintain book-keeping, invest in stocks, and manage properties. Also, systems are being developed, like Atria, to translate complex data into simple and personable language. There are also wallets, like Wallet AI, which monitor an individual’s spending habits and provides ways to improve them.

Heavy industry

Robots have become common in many industries and are often given jobs that are considered dangerous to humans. Robots have proven effective in jobs that are very repetitive which may lead to mistakes or accidents due to failure in concentration and other jobs which humans may find degrading.

Transportation

Today’S cars can have AI-based driver assist features such as self-parking and advanced cruise controls. AI in transportation is expected to provide safe, efficient, and reliable transportation while minimizing the impact on the environment and communities.

Toys and games

Companies like Mattel have been creating AI-enabled toys for kids as young as age three. Using proprietary AI engines and speech recognition tools, they are able to understand conversations, give intelligent responses and learn quickly. AI has also been applied to video games, for example video game bots, which are designed to stand in as opponents where humans aren’t available or desired.

1.Which is true about AI and education?

A.Robots have been widely used to teach children.

B.AI has been used to grade students’ homework.

C.AI has enabled more students to receive education at school.

D.Education was the first field where A1 was used.

2.Which can be inferred from the passage?

A.Atria can help people understand complex data.

B.Wallet AI can help people make more money.

C.Robots’ jobs are considered dangerous to humans.

D.Robots can help people concentrate.

3.From the last two paragraphs we can know that_______________.

A.Today’s drivers needn’t learn to park their cars

B.AI ensures safe, efficient, and reliable transportation

C.AI-enabled toys is designed to improve kids’ intelligence

D.Video game bots can fight against you in video games

4.What is the passage mainly about?

A.The latest progress in AI. B.AI is of great use.

C.Some applications of AI. D.AI is used in all fields.

With the college entrance examination approaches, many of my classmates suffer from much pressure. Some of them are burying in endless homework day and night, which robs them of happiness and do them harm physically and mentally.

Although pressure, to some extent, can provide motivation, but too much pressure has a seriously negative effect. Therefore, we should learn to relieve pressure. First, we should have a right evaluation of us in order to make use advantages and avoid disadvantages. Second, we’d better set aside some times for fun such as listening to music. Sometimes even cry is an efficient way to release stresses. Besides, we can turn to our teachers, friends and parents, that will give us guidance and comfort.

The water where these reefs live is 8.cloud, murky and thick with sediment(沉淀物).

The light reaches down about 26 feet, yet there are corals growing well 9. that level and below. They’ve adapted to surviving under the changing conditions.
