Anne sat with her feet up on the couch, drinking a soda. She heard footsteps by the front door. Brenda was right one time, as usual. Never a minute early or late—for her, everything was exact.

Anne placed her feet on the floor, reaching for the remote, and turned off the television. She knew Brenda would demand her complete attention. She knew Brenda would hand up her coat in the closet by the door (third hanger from the left) and then head to the kitchen for her daily inspection (exact seven steps). She knew this because they had been roommates for six months. Taking a deep breath, she thought about what she would say to Brenda. She waited and watched from her spot on the couch.

A moment later, Brenda stepped into the kitchen and surveyed the scene. Anne watched her expression, watched her eyes focus on the sink, and watched her face harden when she saw the dishes piled high. Pointing to the dishes, Brenda said disappointedly, ''I don't believe what I’m seeing. I thought we agreed to share the responsibilities. I thought it was your turn to clean the kitchen this week. ''

''I haven't got to them yet, '' Anne replied. ''I've been really busy. Relax. I've got all night. ''She walked into the kitchen and added her empty glass to the top of the pile.

Brenda fumed. ''You know I'm having company tonight! Somehow I thought you would have done your share in the kitchen. If we want to remain roommates, things have to change. ''

The phone rang, and Anne started to answer it.

Brenda said in the background, ''Tell them to call back; we need to settle this now. I told you I’m having company soon. ''

Anne ignored Brenda's comment and continued to engage in conversation with a good friend of hers. ''Did I ever tell you about the time when…''

1.Why did Brenda get angry?

A.Because Anne was unfriendly. B.Because she had a bad day at work.

C.Because Anne didn't do her share. D.Because Anne was very lazy.

2.Why didn't Anne do the dishes?

A.She had just arrived home. B.She wanted to start a fight.

C.She was too busy to do the dishes. D.She wanted Brenda to do the dishes.

3.Which of the following suggests that Anne doesn't intend to shoulder her share of the responsibilities?

A.She turns off the television. B.She watches Brenda coming.

C.She says she's been really busy. D.She talks on the phone with a good friend.

4.The writer implies in the passage that ___________

A.Anne purposely decided not to do the dishes in an act of rebellion.

B.Anne would sit down and settle the issue with Brenda after Brenda after the call.

C.Brenda would have to do the dishes herself.

D.Brenda would move out.

Program fools humans

Have you ever been so bored that you started a conversation with a “chatbot (聊天机器人)”? You probably discovered quickly that it wasn't much fun, because the things it says hardly ever make any sense and chatting with it doesn't provide the same kind of back-and-forth as a human conversation.

That might have made you wonder: will a computer ever be able to talk like a human?

That day is certainly getting closer now. A computer program named “Eugene Goostman” has successfully passed the Turing test – by fooling people into thinking it was a 13-year-old boy, reported AFP on June 9.

While you may have never heard of the Turing test, it means a lot in the world of artificial (人工的) intelligence.

According to USA Today, the test was first invented in 1950 by Alan Turing, a British computer expert best known for his code-breaking work during World War II. In his test, a group of human judges take turns having keyboard conversations for five minutes with two subjects – a human and a piece of computer software. If up to 30 percent of the judges fail to tell the two apart, the program is considered to have passed the test.

“If a machine is indistinguishable (无法区分的) from a human, then it could be said to be ‘thinking’,” wrote Turing in his paper Computing, Machinery & Intelligence back in 1950.

No computer had ever passed the Turing test before. But this time, Eugene Goostman, developed by two Russian scientists to simulate (模拟) a 13-year-old boy, managed to convince 33 percent of judges that it was human.

Machines are close to “reaching the milestone of communicating with us in a way that we are comfortable with”, Professor Kevin Warwick of the University of Reading, UK, told The Telegraph. “This brings closer the time in which robots start to play an active role in our daily lives.”

Some people feel a bit disturbed by the news. They worry that computers will outsmart humans in the near future and take over the world. But Warwick said that it is unlikely that this will happen any time soon. After all, computers have only just learned to have a five-minute conversation, while we humans can do so much more than that.

1.What is the main purpose of the article?

A. To inform us about the disadvantages of talking with a “chatbot”.

B. To introduce the background and significance of the Turing Test.

C. To explain how the computer program “Eugene Goostman” works.

D. To report on a recent breakthrough in the world of artificial intelligence.

2.Which of the following statements is TRUE about the Turing Test according to the article?

A. Several computer programs have successfully passed the test since it was introduced.

B. A program that is believed to have passed the test must fool at least half of the judges.

C. The Turing Test is used as a way to determine whether machines can think.

D. Machines that have passed the test can communicate with us freely.

3.What is Warwick's attitude toward the invention of Eugene Goostman?

A. He expects it to play a more active role in our daily lives.

B. He is optimistic about humans' control of computers in the coming years.

C. He is concerned that computers might one day get the better of humans.

D. He feels uncomfortable communicating with machines like Eugene Goostman.

G.So if you’re looking for a trip that’s going to save money, get out there and set up that tent.

    This year, German environmentalists collected 1.75 million signatures for a “save the bees” law requiring an immediate change toward organic farming. But to create healthy ecosystems worldwide, people in communities across the globe will need to take similar action based on sympathy for insects — and not only for bees and butterflies. The environmentalists presented immediate, science-based actions to slow down the insect decline.

“It takes specific law to preserve the amazing variety of insects in the world and we need to stop the destroying of natural habitats, limit road building in parks and reserves and produce food without the use of pesticides,” said Basset, an entomologist, “Conserving insects is not the same as conserving big animals or rare frogs. You can’t keep millions of insects in a zoo.”

A recent article in Entomology Today suggests that successful programs to save insects have a clear and simple objective and a strategically chosen audience. By focusing on bees and butterflies and other beautiful, familiar insects, it is possible to enact the law to protect the habitat of lesser known, less attractive, but equally important species.

But there are still huge gaps in information about how different species of insects are doing, especially in the tropics. “It is next to useless to weigh insects collected in an area and say that insect communities are increasing or declining.” Basset said. “We need much more specific information. That is expensive and difficult because of the effort that it takes just to identify the species, especially in the tropics. What we are doing now is to group insects by their main function, and then to determine how each group is doing in a specific area of the world.”

1.What should people do to protect insects according to the text?

A.Stop building roads in parks and reserves.

B.Open up more natural habitats.

C.Avoid using pesticides for crops.

D.Keep them in a zoo.

2.What can we learn from the successful programs to save insects?

A.They have set up laws.

B.They focus on specific species.

C.They conserve important species.

D.They protect the habitat of lesser known species.

3.What are the environmentalists doing now?

A.Classifying the insects.

B.Identifying the species of insects.

C.Doing research on insects’ function.

D.Weighing insects collected in an area.

4.What is the best title for the text?

A.Helping Insects Is Helping Ourselves!

B.Take Action! Insects Need Protection!

C.Save the Bees — They Need Your Help!

D.Insect Decline: Where Have All the Insects Gone?

    In the summer of 2016, I gave a talk at a small conference in northern Virginia. I began by admitting that I’d never had a social-media account; I then outlined arguments for why other people should consider removing social media from their lives. The event organizers uploaded the video of my talk to YouTube. Then it was shared repeatedly on Facebook and Instagram and, eventually, viewed more than five million times. I was both pleased and annoyed by the fact that my anti-social-media talk had found such a large audience on social media.

I think of this event as typical of the conflicted relationships many of us have with Facebook, Instagram, and other social-media platforms. On the one hand, we’ve grown wary of the so-called attention economy, which, in the name of corporate profits, destroys social life gradually and offends privacy. But we also benefit from social media and hesitate to break away from it completely. Not long ago, I met a partner at a large law firm in Washington, D.C., who told me that she keeps Instagram on her phone because she misses her kids when she travels; looking through pictures of them makes her feel better.

In recent months, some of the biggest social-media companies, Facebook and Twitter, in particular, have promised various reforms. In March, Mark Zuckerberg announced a plan to move his platform toward private communication protected by end-to-end encryption (端对端加密); later that month, he put forward the establishment of a third-party group to set standards for acceptable content.

All of these approaches assume that the reformation of social media will be a complex, lengthy, and gradual process. But not everyone sees it that way. Alongside these official responses, a loose collective of developers that calls itself the IndieWeb has been creating another alternative. They are developing their own social-media platforms, which they say will preserve what’s good about social media while getting rid of what’s bad. They hope to rebuild social media according to principles that are less corporate and more humane.

1.Why did the author feel annoyed when his video was spread online?

A.His video caused many arguments.

B.His video was shared without his permission.

C.His talk was opposed by a large amount of people.

D.His video’s popularity on social media is against his talk.

2.Why does the author mention the story of his partner?

A.To prove that social media has some benefits.

B.To advise people to break away from social media.

C.To tell the negative effects social media may produce.

D.To describe people’s conflicted relationships with social media.

3.What is the purpose of the reform made by some social-media companies?

A.To attract more users.

B.To make more profits.

C.To improve network environment.

D.To provide more convenient service.

4.What does the IndieWeb intend to do?

A.Develop new social-media platforms.

B.Set up principles of the use of social media.

C.Improve the existing social-media platforms.

D.Help social-media companies to make reformation.

    Once a month, I volunteer at a meal center to help serve food to people who are in need. Despite the many other things that I need to do, I really look forward to meeting and serving these people, even if only briefly. Although my motivation begins with wanting to help others and be grateful for what I have been given, it is joy that helps bring me back when I am very busy. I first noticed this some time ago: at the end of our shift, after the kitchen and dining room have been cleaned up, I would experience a lightness of being.

A few years ago, as I was researching how kindness affected health, I came to learn that volunteerism was associated with a markedly lower risk of dying. One recent and large European study found that self-reported health scores were apparently better in volunteers than non-volunteers. Depending on the study, the decrease in death rates ranged between 20 to 60 percent or so.

How could volunteering decrease the risk of death? There are several factors at play. The first, and most primary, is decreased symptoms of stress and uplifted mood. Many studies have provided evidence that volunteering is good for depression, well-being, and social networking, among other effects. Secondly, people who volunteer regularly also make more effort to take care of themselves. They manage to pay visits to their doctor for preventive health care. Finally, people who volunteer may be more physically active. Volunteers have an obvious increase in walking each day compared to those who did not volunteer.

To try to tie this together, volunteering likely exerts its positive health effects by connecting people to others and to an activity that they find meaningful. Achieving connection, purpose, and meaning is critical to reducing stresses of life — particularly loneliness. Since stress is a major cause of disease, especially heart disease, the ability to satisfy the need for connection, purpose, and meaning can bring about beneficial changes for people. And when there is purpose and we are connected to others, we take care of ourselves.

1.How does the author feel about doing a volunteer job?

A.Pleased. B.Tired.

C.Surprised. D.Annoyed.

2.What is the second paragraph mainly about?

A.A study on volunteerism.

B.The health scores of volunteers.

C.The relationship between kindness and health.

D.Volunteerism’s positive effect on volunteers’ health.

3.Volunteering decreases the risk of volunteers’ death mainly by ___________.

A.making them more physically active

B.making them visit doctors frequently

C.pushing them to take care of themselves

D.reducing their stress and uplifting their mood

4.What does the underlined word “critical” in the last paragraph mean?

That was seven years ago that I began to learn English, so English has been my friend for a long time. Initially, I learnt English with the intention of being admitted to key university. But now I was eager to learn about the world better and spread Chinese culture through English because of it is the most wide spoken language in the world. I used to thinking English was difficult because I couldn’t remember the English words. Unfortunately, I found a way out. By reading English novels, I have made great progresses ever since. As the old saying go, learning is the lifelong journey. There is no doubt whether I will continue to learn English after graduation.
