21、   Reuel Tolkien (1892－1973), the British linguist, writer. He created a fantasy novel “The Lord of the Rings” the well­known trilogy (三部曲)．

Tolkien was born in Bloemfontein, South Africa. When he was 4 years old, his father died and his family moved back to England. Tolkien graduated from Oxford University when he was 23 years old, and participated in the First World War. During the war, Tolkien suffered from “trench fever” and stayed in the hospital until the end of World War Ⅰ. It was the days in the hospital that he began his writing career first.

After the war, Tolkien became a linguist. He was an editor of the “New English Dictionary” of 1918－1920. However, he was more researching into Anglo­Saxon language which makes his extensive contacts in Britain and the Nordic spread all over the folklore and mythology.

In 1937, Tolkien completed his first work “The Hobbit”. Although this was a fairy tale, it was also suitable for adults to read. Because of good sales, the publisher Allen & Unwin convinced Tolkien to write its sequel. This encouraged Tolkien to complete his most famous works the epic (史诗) trilogy “The Lord of the Rings”. The works of writing went on for almost a year with the support from his good friend Lewis.

At the beginning “The Lord of the Rings” was similar works for children, but after that writing style quickly became serious and dark. “The Lord of the Rings” was one of the most popular literary works in the 20th century in terms of sales and readers' evaluation.

22、Most of us spend our lives surrounded by screens, which offer us convenience as well as connection and an ocean of information. But since it’s easy to feel pressured to keep up with every notification, technology may feel more like a burden than a blessing. Thus, the idea of “digital detox” is becoming increasingly inviting.

The phrase “digital detox” describes getting rid of TV, phones, computers and other forms of technology that control our lives for a period of time. Some experts advocate completely avoiding unnecessary screen time for 30 years. Others suggest using an app that will limit the amount of time one can spend on certain websites. A third option is logging out in evenings or on weekends. Others simply turn their phones off at scheduled times. Some even pay high prices to take vacations in places where they can unplug from their digital routine.

Why might you want to take a digital detox? Perhaps you find that you are spending longer than you intend on certain apps or that they distract you from more important things. Perhaps social media is depressing because you compare yourself to others or you fear missing out on things that other people are enjoying. Constant negative news can also give rise to a lot of stress.

Technology can also have physical effects. Many people experience back or neck pain as a result of bending over screens. The blue light coming from most screens can also affect people’s sleep by preventing production of melatonin (褪黑素).

Giving up all screens may not be realistic, but strategic breaks from technology may be good for your body, mind, emotions and relationships. It is high time that you picked a time to turn off your devices and focus on really important things.

24、Many researchers use the term artificial intelligence (AI) to describe the thinking and intelligent behavior by machines. While AI can be helpful to human beings, scientists warn it can also be a threat.

Stuart Russell, who leaches computer science at the University of California, t Berkeley，says humans should make AI products that we like.“In the future,” Russell says, “many of today's jobs that require a lot of physical labor will be replaced by machines with artificial intelligence.” These include agricultural jobs, and ones with repetitive duties like: telephone call centers. AI machines can also replace jobs like ones in the financial industry-jobs that require studying a lot of data.

The health industry is one area that artificial intelligence is already changing. AI can process huge amounts of data, so doctors can use the most up-to-date information to diagnose and treat patients. IBM's Watson technology is already in use at hospitals in North and South America, Europe and Asia. Watson helps doctors keep up with information.

IBM's Banavar points out the value of artificial intelligence, including search engines and the autopilot function on planes.

There is also a dangerous side of artificial intelligence. One example is combining drone technology and AI to create autonomous weapons. Stuart Russell is working to create international treaties to ban such weapons. He says the risk is that people will use the technology to develop a kind of “poor men's nuclear weapon” .

The debate about whether artificial intelligence is good or bad for humans continues. Researchers agree there is no question that the technology is here, and that will continue to change the life on our planet.

【1】What can be inferred from Russell's words in Para, 2?

A．All the jobs will be replaced by machines with AI.

B．Machines with AI are cleverer than people.

C．People are tired of jobs requiring much physical labor

D．Machines with AI will be a threat to people in terms of employment.

【2】Which of the following statements is the value of AI according to Banavar?

A．AI can only act as search engines.

B．AI can create autonomous weapons.

C．AI can fly a plane on its own without the intervention of the pilot.

D．AI can help doctors diagnose and treat all diseases.

【3】Which opinion may the researchers be in favor of?

A．AI will make our life worse.

B．AI is a double-edged sword.

C．AI will disappear in the future.

D．AI won't continue to change the life on the planet.

【4】What is the best title' of the text?

A．AI: Helpful but Dangerous

B．The Development of AI

C．AI: A Threat to Humans

D．The Importance of AI

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。

Tom was born and grew up in Milan. Until he was 13 years old, he never wanted to leave his hometown. But last year, Tom’s father’s investment went bad， wiping out the family and sending his parents to prison. As a teenager under 16 years old, Tom was forced to go to Newcastle in the northeast of England to stay with his uncle Lawrence.

Tom had a lot of difficulties in the new environment. He didn’t like the food in England. Nobody could forecast the weather in Newcastle. He had to start learning the second foreign language in his new school. Pocket money was not enough as usual. Almost every subject was a challenge for him. Most importantly, he had no friends. It seemed nobody knew him and he knew nobody in the school.

On an early summer evening, when Tom was going home alone from school as usual, a man called him from behind. Tom turned around and saw Andy, his PE teacher, standing in front of him.

“You know, the school will have a swimming competition next month. There will be all kinds of races. Will you participate?” Andy asked.

Tom took a look at Andy with doubt and answered, “You sure? Me? No, I won’t. I can swim, but I’m slower than a snail.”

Andy smiled and then said, “Yes. Indeed. You are, in breaststroke(蛙泳)，in backstroke, and in butterfly, but not in freestyle. So join the freestyle race! 200-meter freestyle is the game suitable for you.”

Tom was speechless at that moment. He had never known someone in the school was observing him and caring for him.

“I don’t think I can win anything.” Tom was still a little puzzled.

“But you may get more recognition and consequently you can make some friends. That is more important than prizes,” Andy responded immediately.

Having hesitated for a while, Tom agreed to have a try.

注意:

1.续写词数应为150左右;

2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

Every afternoon for the next month, Tom trained really hard.
