26、   Britain's Haunted(闹鬼的) Castles

Muncaster Castle

Muncaster Castle is haunted by the ghost(鬼) of a mysterious White Lady as well as by Tom who worked in the castle 400 years ago and now likes to play tricks on visitors. Parties of 6-8 people can arrange for an all-night ghost sit in the Tapestry Room. Scientists and researchers also conduct field experiments here and you can participate in one of these yourself with an all- night watch. The castle will be closed from Jan. 1 to Feb.12.

Chillingham Castle

This castle has a wealth of frightening stories to entertain visitors. Ghost tours cost 20 pounds per person and run in the evening all year round. The castle also occasionally has ghost-themed special events such as dinner evenings where a ghost hunter visits and relates some of his experiences in the field.

Tutbury Castle

Tutbury Castle is more of a ruin than a functioning building, having been largely destroyed during the English civil war. Queen Mary of Scots spent much of her imprisonment here and her ghost has been spotted on several occasions. Tutbury is only open to the public from Easter until September but special arrangements can be made for large parties at other times. The castle also runs ghost hunts which can involve overnight stays in the Great Hall or King's bedroom.

Berre Pomeroy Castle

The Castle in Devon is now no more than an attractive ruin but it is said to be one of the most haunted spots in Britain. Both White and Blue Lady ghosts have been seen in the grounds. The first is believed to be starved to death by a cruel sister, the identity of the other is unknown. The castle is open to the public from March until October but only during the day.

27、   Technology is constantly evolving, and it's essential to stay up to date with the top trends(趋势) in senior living, one of which is wearables that can be worn on or around some part of our body, such as a smart watch. It is technology that individuals can feel, touch, and use everyday. Wearables can provide a great health benefit for seniors, with the ability to monitor their vital signs(生命特征) or help predict when a fall or other adverse health incident may occur. Research conducted by the National Institute of Health has shown an increase in the risk of falling when seniors don't get adequate amounts of sleep. Being able to monitor specific risk factors in residents(住户) can help reduce accidents and maintain safety.

The second top technology trend in senior living is devices and applications. Often when older adults move into a senior living community, they may feel as if control over their own life is being taken away. Devices that are put in the resident's care can improve their quality of life by giving them some power back and can also help monitor their health levels. Some examples of such devices are tablets, smartphones, and lighting systems. Specific applications that work with devices can help residents, even those with Alzheimer's and other types of dementia(痴呆)accomplish daily tasks and play games. A new app named Timeless will enable(使能够) residents to test memory with images of loved ones.

The third top technology trend is telemedicine, which can help improve old people's health. Telemedicine gives healthcare professionals the opportunity to educate multiple seniors through video conferences. With physicians available through video conferences, seniors can be saved from making the effort of physically going to a doctor's office, and thus reduce the risk of getting certain illnesses caused by exposure to bad weather.

The fourth top technology trend is voice activation(激活) . Many different types of technology are more commonly activated by voice commands. These can be very beneficial and create case of use for any resident using it. Senior scan conserve their energy when they are sick or just tired with lights that can be activated with certain commands. With voice-activated devices such as Amazon Alexa, a resident can control TV volume, music volume, and countless other in-home devices. This also gives residents a sense of control when they move to an assisted living community.

Finally, technology integration(集成) is also a top trend in technology for senior living. Each of the previous categories can improve lives, but when they are combined, the greatest benefits can be obtained. With a resident’s wristband(腕带) monitoring vital signs and sleep patterns combined with devices that monitor movement, such as room sensors, it can provide much needed data for providers to help prevent accidents and ensure quick response during emergencies

【1】.How can seniors benefit from wearables?

A.They can express their feelings freely.

B.They can predict potential heath risks

C.They can control their health conditions.

D.They can improve their communication skills.

【2】Which trend can help seniors shake off the feeling of being controlled?

A.Wearables. B.Telemedicine.

C.Technology integration. D.Devices and applications.

【3】What can telemedicine do for seniors?

A.Test their memory regularly.

B.Monitor their movements constantly

C.Recommend clinical specialists in various fields.

D.Give them access to video conferences with doctors.

【4】How can the technologies serve seniors best?

A.By being made affordable.

B.By being combined together.

C.By being made more user-friendly.

D.By being activated through voice commands.

28、"You are the same today as you will be in five years except for the books you read. " A love of reading can make your brain more efficient, lower stress levels, and inspire life pursuits （追求）. Here's how your brain and body benefit when you crack open a book.

Reading can improve brainpower.

【1】 Whether you're interested in a book or simply scanning an instruction for your coffee maker, your brain will drive other functions一such as vision, language, and associative （相关的）learning, according to a survey by Ken Pugh, PhD. 【2】 Another recent study found that older adults who regularly read books are two and a half times less likely to develop Alzheimer's disease.

Reading can melt away stress.

Being lost in a good book lowers your levels of unhealthy stress hormones. In a British study, participants were involved in an anxiety-provoking （引发焦虑的）activity and then either read for a few minutes, listened to music, or played video games. The stress levels of those who read dropped 67 percent. 【3】

【4】

Reading about someone who overcame hurdles may encourage you to achieve your own dream. If you'd like a raise, following a character into the boss's office may give you the courage to make the same request. The more you identify with a character and experience the events as if they were happening to you, the more likely you'll take action.

【5】Turn off your phone and computer, and set aside one or two hours to read books every day.

A．Reading can encourage life goals.

B．Reading can recall your memory.

C．As a result, stress is associated with reading.

D．That process forces you to think and concentrate.

E．Reading gives your brain a different kind of workout.

F．We cannot think too highly of the benefits of reading.

G．It was a more important drop than that of the other groups.

29、Have you ever wondered what wild animals do when no one is watching? Scientists have been able to record the “private” moments of wildlife with leading-edge technology. Low-cost, dependable and small modern cameras are of big help.

Cameras placed in hard-to-reach places have taken videos of everything from small desert cats to later snow loving felines (猫科) in the northern Rocky Mountains. These cameras are important tools to learn new information on wildlife.

Some videos help scientists see the effects of climate change. For example, the desert animal javelin and the tree-loving coatimundi have been caught on cameras north of their normal home. This could mean global warming is enlarging their living area northward.

Researchers use cameras along with global positioning systems, or GPS. They attach GPS devices (设备) to mule deer and antelope in and around Yellowstone National Park. Then they can record their movements, or migrations (迁移) . These cameras can be left in very rural (荒野的) areas for days, weeks or even month. They can provide information on how many animals are moving over a given period of time.

Rural video can show details about animal behavior, such as the calls made by migrating. Also some cameras record animal life and show everything from bison in Saskatchewan, Canada, to the underwater weed forest off California’s Channel Islands.

However, rural cameras have their problems too. Animals such as wolverines and bears sometimes attack them. Scientists do not know if the attacks are the result of anger or interest. Also, the devices have become popular tools to help hunters look for animals. Some people argue that it is unfair to use the cameras that way. Even with such problems, rural cameras are clearly an important scientific tool in researching wild animals.

【1】Which of the following helps scientists know about climate change?

A．How active animals are.

B．What animals eat.

C．Where animals go.

D．When animals move.

【2】Where are the cameras fixed?

A．Under water

B．In the field

C．On GPS devices.

D．On wild animals.

【3】What may be the disadvantage of the rural cameras?

A．They affect animals' search for good.

B．They make wild animals puzzled.

C．They make animals attack one another frequently.

D．They might bring danger to animals.

【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

A．Cameras Record Animals in the Wild

B．Every Coin Has Two Sides

C．Animals No Longer Have Secrets

D．An Invention Makes Animals Mad

33、   Here’s an awkward confession (承认): I’ve cried at every job I’ve had. I always find it difficult to___ my emotions. And each time I’ve___ exactly why these emotional moments are considered so taboo (忌讳的). Is it a universal truth that you just can’t cry at work ?

As someone puts it on the internet, as professional women, we’re dealing with the great expectation to “be __ in the pursuit of what sets your soul on fire” while also making enough money to pay rent. __ , my eyes get a little watery just thinking about it. So if crying at work is unavoidable – yet taboo – what is an ambitious young woman to do to __ after one of these embarrassing  incidents?

My usual routine after an in-office __ is to remove my contact lenses, have a massive iced-coffee, and ___it never happened (until it happens again). Clearly, I’m no expert on the right professional response. So I spoke with my personal finance coach, Ashley Feinstein Gerstley, to see if she had any __ for reducing the humiliation (丢脸).

“It’s so __ , but telling yourself not to cry usually __ making you cry more,” she says. “You’re using all your energy to hold it together, but there’s so much pressure that the tears will almost unavoidably come. If you do get upset, it can be helpful to __ yourself from the situation. Take a minute to get it together, and come back ready to have a more composed (镇静的) exchange.”

Maybe there’s some __ in crying. I’ve definitely found that __ the taboo can lead to greater relationships with __. I’ve noticed how tears have helped solve a disconnection or problem that might __ have gone unsolved. To be honest, I’m hoping to recognize, if not celebrate, the rare office cry as a hidden skill for greater future.

34、阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

Everyone has their own unique fingerprint; 【1】 makes fingerprints an ideal way to unlock smartphones. However, this may be 【2】 (safe) than we think.

Scientists at New York University and Michigan State University in the US have developed a set of fake fingerprints. They say that the prints 【3】 unlock any fingerprint-enabled smartphone up to 65 percent of the time.

The artificial fingerprints 【4】 (create) by using many common features found in human prints. They work 【5】 taking advantage of the way smartphone scanners check a fingerprint.

The fingerprint scanners   【6】 (use) in smartphones are so small that they only read parts of fingerprints. So they have to take many scans of your finger or thumb (拇指) 【7】 they work properly. Smartphones also let users save several finger and thumbprints. Since a print only has to match one of the saved images 【8】 (unlock) the phone, the scanner is more likely to make mistakes.

Although the scientists have only tested their findings in computer simulations (模拟), 【9】 (worry) about the safety of using fingerprints are reasonable .They warn that the technology used to create artificial fingerprints is improving   【10】 (extreme) fast.

35、Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

The Internet E-commerce and globalization are making a new economic age possible. In the future, capitalist markets will largely be replaced by a new kind of economic system based on 【1】 relationships, contractual arrangements and access rights.

Has the quality of our lives at work, at home and in our communities increased in direct proportion to all the new Internet and business-to-business Internet services being introduced into our lives? I have asked this question of hundreds of CEOs and corporate executives in Europe and the United States. Surprisingly, virtually everyone has said, “No, quiet 【2】.” They say they are working longer hours, feel more stressed, are more impatient, and are even less civil in their dealings with colleagues and friends-not to mention strangers. And what’s more revealing, they place much of the blame on the very same technologies they are so 【3】 supporting.

The technological leader promised us that access would make life more convenient. Instead, the very technological wonders that were supposed to 【4】 us have begun to enslave us in a web of connections from which there seems to be no easy 【5】.

If an earlier generation was preoccupied with the quest to enclose a vast 【6】 land, the .com generation, it seems, is more caught up in the colonization of time. Every spare moment of our time is being filled with some form of commercial connection, making time itself the 【7】 of all resources.

And while we have created every kind of labor-and time-saving device to service our needs, we are beginning to feel like we have less time available to us than any other humans in history. Maybe we need to ask what kinds of connections really 【8】 in the e-economy age. If this new technology 【9】 is only about super efficiency, then we risk losing something even precious than time-our sense of what it means to be a(n) 【10】 human being.

36、Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

AI artwork sells for $432,500 — nearly 45 times its high【1】 — as Christie’s becomes the first auction house to offer a work of art created by an algorithm. This portrait, however, is not the product of a human mind. It was created by an【2】 intelligence, an algorithm defined by that algebraic formula with its many parentheses. And when it went under the【3】 in the Prints & Multiples sale at Christie’s on 23-25 October, Portrait of Edmond Belamy sold for an【4】 $432,500, signaling the arrival of AI art on the world auction stage.

From a distance, Portrait of Edmond de Belamy looks almost plausible. Up close, however, the paintwork becomes a grid of mechanical-looking dots, the man’s face a golden blur with black holes for eyes. Look into those eyes. They show no sign of feeling or life. Did a computer make this?

The answer is yes. The first artwork【5】 by AI to be sold at Christie’s, its【6】 price would seem to suggest that in future we will get computers to make art for us. Robot van Gogh will harmlessly cut its ear off and robot Picasso will be a genius.

Is this the future AI art visionaries such as the French collective Obvious, which programmed this “painter” by getting it to compare its own work with 15,000 pre-20th century portraits, have in mind? Or are they just, God forbid, making a fast buck from deceivable art collectors? Because believing the algorithm that knocked this up to be in any meaningful way an “artist” is like thinking your voice-interaction programme is out to get you. Dream on. Computers would need to replicate human consciousness before they could replicate the funny thing humans do called “art”.

Art is a way in which human 【7】 expresses itself, and is equally true of the earliest cave art, Rembrandt’s portraits and Duchamp’s urinal. And that is what is missing from Portrait of Edmond Bellamy. Art is a way humans communicate ideas, perceptions and feelings to each other. It has no 【8】 outside the human passion to communicate. So in what meaningful sense can an AI replica of certain【9】 traits of old master paintings be called art?

For a robot to really make art, it would need an autonomous mind that was emotional as well as【10】. No AI developer has yet claimed to be anywhere near achieving that and if they ever do, their creation will probably have better things to do than paint portraits — like destroy humanity.
