21、   One day my Ph. D. adviser called me into his office, saying I needn’t bring my notebook. Puzzled, I followed him and sat down. After 15 minutes of listing positive things about my academic capabilities, he looked me in the eye and said, “You are fired from the lab.” I stared back, blinking in disbelief. “Is he joking?” I wondered. “How is this possible?”

The first few days after my dismissal were especially difficult. One day all I could do was sit on a beach, crying as I looked out across the Mediterranean Sea and wondered what I should do. Around that time, I watched Dasvidaniya, a Bollywood movie that’s about a man who is told that he has 3 months to live. He responds by changing his attitude to life and setting out to make the most of his remaining months. Even though it is a common saying, one line from the movie stuck out to me: “When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.” What kind of “lemonade” could I make out of my current situation?

My desire to complete a Ph. D. was never in doubt. After much reflection, I told myself that one failed attempt was not the end of the world, and that I needed to give it another try. With renewed confidence, I emailed prospective advisers and applied to other programs. Fortunately, I landed an offer from a Ph. D. program in Italy. I accepted it and relocated to Europe, happy that my goal of completing a Ph. D. was alive once again.

I’m thankful that I didn’t give up on my dream and that I found another professor willing to take me on. So, if you find yourself in a similar situation and life gives you lemons, ask yourself: “How can I make lemonade?”

【1】What is the author’s feeling after hearing his Ph. D. adviser’ s words?

A．Regretful.

B．Amazed.

C．Pleased.

D．Angry.

【2】What does the sentence “When life gives you lemons, make lemonade” in Paragraph 2 imply?

A．Lemonade is often better than lemon.

B．Life is like lemonade made from lemon.

C．You should try lemonade made from lemon.

D．Transforming the bad situation is a better choice.

【3】Why did the author feel happy once again?

A．He watched an encouraging Bollywood movie.

B．He could achieve his goal of completing a Ph. D.

C．He could earn his living in Europe in the future.

D．He found a good professor in the Ph. D. program.

【4】What is the text mainly about?

A．Why lost my job in a Ph. D. program.

B．The hard time I suffered in Europe.

C．How I moved on after my dismissal.

D．A vital movie I met in my dilemma.

22、Gray had great academic performance in high school and wanted to apply to Harvard and other top schools, but could not afford the application fees, let alone school fees. But with a passion for business, he dreamed of attending a college in the Northeast so he could be close to New York City and other major business centers.

In the process of his application, Gray was determined to deal with it by himself. He looked at hundreds of websites, checking scholarship requirements. Many scholarships had very specific qualifications that he didn’t meet. But Gray had 600 volunteer hours and started a nonprofit organization which organized volunteer opportunities for students when he was in high school. So he searched for scholarships that looked for excellent grades combined with leadership and community service.

Soon, he got the Gates Millennium Scholarship, which covers school fees from a bachelor’s to a doctor’s degree. A $20,000 scholarship from Coca-Cola followed. He also received a 820,000 Horatio Alger Scholarship and the $ 10,000 Axa Achievement Scholarship. And smaller awards just kept coming. In the end, he had amazing success, receiving 34 scholarships worth $1.3 million — enough to pay for years of school, plus cover his living expenses with some leftover to invest.

Gray has used the money for schooling, room and board, daily supplies, travel for interviews, and other needs. After appearing at national conferences and in the media, hundreds of students and parents have emailed and called for advice, which inspired Gray, now a business major at Drexel, to make a mobile-phone app called Scholly—short for “scholarships”— to help other teens get scholarship money.

Though the app had thousands of downloads, Gray and his colleagues decided to keep the price only at 99 cents because their purpose was more public service than profit. As for his career plans, he has the goal of a true enterpriser: “Ideally not to have to get a job when I graduate.”

【1】What did Gray do when he applied for scholarships?

A．He started a nonprofit organization.

B．He took part in community service.

C．He checked requirements with teammates.

D．He matched his strengths with the criteria.

【2】Why does Gray develop Scholly?

A．To appeal for more downloads.

B．To help other teens make apps.

C．To facilitate scholarship application.

D．To raise funds for his own schooling.

【3】Which of the following best describe Christopher Gray?

A．Tolerant and diligent.

B．Ambitious and generous.

C．Creative and humble.

D．Stubborn and adventurous.

【4】What does Gray intend to do for his future career?

A．Starting his own business.

B．Working for a charity.

C．Maintaining his current job.

D．Getting a high paid job.

23、   When my 8-month-old cries, I ask him if he’s hungry, or wet or just needs a hug.

“Babububuu,” he says.

What I need is a baby cry translator. That’s just what a team of researchers say they’ve developed.

“Experienced nurses or pediatricians (儿科医师) can identify why baby is crying because they have experience, says Lichuan Liu, a professor of electrical engineering at Northern Illinois University, who conducted the research.” We talked to them, and they mentioned that based on the cry’s’ sound there’re’ some clues (线索).”

So Liu set out to identify the features of cries that can help mark them as expressions of pain or discomfort. These features include differences in pitch (音高) and frequency. The team then developed an algorithm (算法) based on automatic speech recognition to detect and identify these features. This “cry language recognition algorithm” was trained on recordings of baby cries taken from a hospital. It uses compressed sensing, a process that reconstructs a signal based on incomplete data. It can identify a baby cry against a background of, say, adult speech or loud television sounds. By classifying different cry features, like pitch, the algorithm can suggest whether the cry is due to sickness or pain, and identify the degree of urgency.

The team had experienced pediatric care providers assess forty-eight baby cry recordings for probable cause of crying hunger, tiredness, etc. They then compared these to the algorithm’s assessments. The algorithm agreed with the humans 70% of the time. Generally, so-called “uncommon cry signals”—signs of pain or sickness—are high-pitched and very loud compared to ordinary crying.

Liu and her team continue to train the technology for greater accuracy. They also plan to add more features, like the ability to identify and classify movement and facial expressions. This could help give more detailed reading of baby’s emotional (情感的) and physical state. They also hope to begin human trials in the near future.

【1】The author mentions the 8-month-old child to ________.

A.draw attention to baby cries B.prove baby cries are common

C.lead in a translator for baby cries D.show the use of cry translators

【2】What inspired Lichuan Liu’s idea of doing the study?

A.Pediatric care workers’ words. B.The pediatricians’ strong requests.

C.Her own nursing experiences. D.Her doubts about the previous research.

【3】What did the researchers do in the study?

A.They collected baby cries from big hospitals.

B.They got 48 baby cry recordings evaluated.

C.They created an automatic speech recognition.

D.They analyzed cry features with compressed sensing.

【4】What can we know about Liu’s cry language recognition algorithm?

A.It has been widely used in daily life.

B.It’s mainly meant for hungry cry signals.

C.It has been proved effective on babies.

D.It’s only been tested on recorded cries now.

24、I grew up poor. We had little money, but plenty of love and attention. I understood that no matter how poor a person was, they could still afford a dream. My dream was athletics.

By the time I was sixteen, I was good at baseball and football. My high-school coach was Ollie Jarvis. He not only believed in me, but taught me the difference between having a dream and showing conviction（信念）.

One summer a friend recommended me for a summer job. This meant a chance for money in my pocket — cash for dates with girls, certainly, money for a new bike and new clothes, and the start of savings for a house for my mother.

Then I realized I would have to give up summer baseball to handle the work schedule, and that meant I would have to tell Coach Jarvis I wouldn’t be playing. I was dreading（害怕）this, but my mother said: “If you make your bed, you have to lie in it.”

When I told Coach Jarvis, he was as mad as I expected him to be. “Your playing days are limited. You can’t afford to waste them,” he said.

I stood before him with my head hanging, trying to think of the words that would explain to him why my dream of buying my mom a house.

“How much are you going to make at this job, son?” he demanded.

“Three twenty-five an hour,” I replied.

“Well,” he asked, “is $3.25 an hour the price of a dream?”

That question laid bare for me the difference between wanting something right now and having a goal. I devoted myself to sports that summer, and within the year I was drafted by the Pittsburgh Pirates to play rookie-league ball, and offered a $20,000 contract. I signed with the Denver Broncos in 1984 for $1.7 million, and bought my mother the house of my dream.

【1】The writer was grateful to Coach Jarvis, because Jarvis ______.

A. made him set a goal

B. supplied him with new clothes

C. gave him financial support

D. helped him show conviction

【2】When the boy was offered a job, he wanted to ______.

A. balance summer baseball and the work schedule

B. refuse the job offer for summer baseball

C. give up summer baseball for the job

D. ask his coach Jarvis for advice

【3】 Which of the following can replace “If you make your bed, you have to lie in it.”?

A. You must eat the bitter fruit of your own making.

B. Believe in yourself, but above all be patient.

C. You must rely on yourself first, then others.

D. A good beginning makes a good ending.

【4】 The end of the story was that the writer ______.

A. failed to buy his mother a house

B. succeeded as a sportsman

C. became a successful businessman

D. made some money in the summer job
