21、As a dropout myself, I often feel it is my duty to defend my fellow non-scholars. Common wisdom would have you believe we are the “bad kids", the future criminals, the worst sort of people. But not all dropouts are likely to deal drugs,steal goods from a shop, or shoot pool all day.

My own favorite place to go when skipping school was always the public library. My early retirement meant that at last I had the time to read everything I wanted to. I found reading Thomas Pynchon's Gravity's Rainbow a lot more interesting than reading about Sir Isaac Newton and the falling apple.

Best of all was the time I finally had to myself. I felt liberated. I had been in school nearly my whole life. I wanted to find out for myself who I was,and until I did,everything else felt like a waste of time.

However, after nearly three years, a series of strange thoughts began to make me anxious and unsure. Images of myself at the age of 35 began to haunt(缠扰）me in my sleep. And a voice in my head began asking over and over,"Who is paying the hot water bills? Who buys the microwave pizza?"The answer, of course, was my poor old parents. Sure,I was having an enjoyable time doing plenty of nothing, discovering myself and all, but that's unfair to them. What parents long to see their child drop out of school,with no plans for the future? Could they be expected to support me forever? Certainly not. I immediately moved out of the house and out of town, in search of a future for myself.

And it is here, in my new home of San Francisco, that I have decided to do what was once unthinkable: go back to school. I plan to take adult education classes and then apply for City College. On the one hand, I can hardly believe I'm doing it: a return to desks, chalkboards, and clocks that tell you when to stop thinking about one thing and start thinking about another. But at City College, I'll be able to take film production, semiotics, and sociology—just because I want to know about them.

So next time you see a dropout, be sympathetic. And please don't push him to do something he doesn't want to do. It never works. He'll come around when he's ready.

【1】It is commonly believed that dropouts are_____.

A．bad kids from birth

B．interested in studying drugs

C．very likely to commit crimes

D．responsible for defending non-scholars

【2】What did the author find most enjoyable after dropping out of school?

A．Living in comfort with his parents.

B．Reading in the public library.

C．Escaping the pressure from school.

D．Having time for self-discovery.

【3】Why did the author move to San Francisco?

A．To fight for his own future.

B．To apply for City College.

C．To break away from his parents.

D．To live up to his parents' expectations.

【4】What does the author suggest people do to deal with dropouts?

A．Push them to the limit.

B．Open their hearts to them.

C．Try to be understanding.

D．Encourage them to be friendly.

22、Best Science Books of 2017

At its heart, science is about curiosity. So it stands to reason these books about science should make you examine your world more closely, and in doing so, give you a sense of wonder.

Big Chicken, by Maryn McKenna

Investigative journalist Maryn McKenna uses the modern industrial chicken as a window into how antibiotics(抗生素) transformed modern agriculture—for good and ill. She traces how animal antibiotics endanger human health, causing serious problems from antibiotic resistant stomach infections to UTIs. Recognizing that Americans are going to continue to eat chicken no matter what, McKenna suggests a way in which factory farming rids itself of its dependence on antibiotics.

Why Time Flies, by Alan Burdick

New Yorker staff writer Alan Burdick examines the greatest gift humanity has ever known: time. Time, he writes, appears to exist in two distinct forms. One is the standardized, objective kind found in clocks and watches; the other is our internal, biological sense of time, the one we measure in our cells, bodies and minds. But the closer he looks, the less clearer this distinction appears.

Paleoart, by Zoe Lescaze

Dinosaurs have long captured the imaginations of scientists and artists alike, and Paleoart brings those visions together in a blend of human knowledge and creativity.

These images not only show our changing understanding of dinosaurs, but also reflect the distinct artistic sensibilities of their time. Both artistic and educational, these pictures are certainly influential.

What It’s Like to Be a Dog, by Gregory Berns

23、Moscow city authorities have begun using comics with characters from Russian fairytales to explain to migrants how they should behave. They say a 100-page guide is needed to “maintain a positive image” of the city and could help reduce “tensions” between natives and migrants. But some people have pointed out that foreign immigrants and natives may be viewed as antagonists in the manual（手册）. They think immigrants and natives should live together in harmony.

Russians and immigrants have repeatedly clashed in Moscow recently. Many immigrants from ex-Soviet republics in Central Asia，the Caucasus and North Caucasus，arrive in Moscow every year，attracted by the capital's job opportunities and relatively high salaries. A significant number of them work in the Russian capital illegally.

The new guide in Russian seeks to explain the “dos” and" don'ts" to immigrants. They are urged not to cause trouble，by staring at women，or eating or talking loudly on the streets. They are also warned that the police may routinely stop them to check their documents.

In the manual，Russia's famous“Three warriors”are meant to represent the city's law enforcement agencies，while Prince Yuri Dolgoruky （a historical character）is used for tours around Moscow. Meanwhile，Vasilisa the Wise and The Snow Maiden test the reader on Russia's language and history. A special section of the book explains the importance of following Moscow's strict residency and employment rules，stressing that immigrants could otherwise be deported（驱逐出境）or banned from entry.

The manual was written primarily for illegal immigrants，Alexander Kalinin，who heads the group Support for Working Migrants in Moscow，told BBC Russian.

“We want to raise their level of law awareness，”he added.

In the beginning immigrants had been identified as representatives of deferent nationalities, but the book's authors later decided to drop this idea so as "not to offend anyone", said Mr. Kalinin.

"The old conflict between Russian heroes and non-Slavic invaders appears again,"

Yevgeny Varshaver, a migration expert told BBC Russian. He also suggested that the language used in the book would be "difficult" to understand for some immigrants who were not native Russian speakers.

【1】The underlined word in Paragraph 1 can probably be replaced by ______ .

A．strangers

B．opponents

C．competitors

D．acquaintances

【2】People from other countries come to Moscow ______ .

A．to enjoy the fine climate

B．to have a new lifestyle

C．to find occupations with good income

D．to experience a new culture

【3】What can we learn about the manual?

A．It may not make immigrants and natives live in harmony.

B．It is full of funny stories from fairy tales.

C．It aims to protect the rights of locals and immigrants.

D．It sets strict and cruel rules to immigrants.

【4】What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A．The book will make it easy for foreign immigrants to read.

B．Foreign immigrants may find the manual interesting to read.

C．The Russian language is hard for foreign immigrants to learn.

D．Foreign immigrants may have difficulty reading the manual.

【5】Which of the following would be the best tile of the text?

A．Ways to help foreign immigrants to settle in Russia.

B．More and more foreign immigrants work in Moscow.

C．Moscow fairy tale comics to help immigrants behave.

D．Characters from Russian fairy tales attract public attention.

24、   Many people will be familiar with automated writing through Gmail. Smart Reply provides brief answers to routine emails. If someone asks “Do you want to meet at 3 pm?”, Gmail offers one-click responses such as “Sure!”

The New Yorker’s John Seabrook recently described a more powerful version of this technology, called GPT-2, which can ably mimic (模拟) his magazine’s style. Such systems use a digital network of billions of artificial “neurons” (神经元) with virtual “synapses” — the connections between neurons — that strengthen as the network “learns”, in this case from 40 gigabytes（千兆字节）— worth of online writing. The version Mr. Seabrook tested was polished with back-issues of the New Yorker.

The metaphor of the brain is attractive, but “neurons” and “synapses” deserve those scare-quotes ( 双引号). The system is merely making some—admittedly very complex—statistical guesses about which words follow which in a New Yorker-style sentence.

What escapes computers is creativity. They cannot create a topic or goal on their own, much less plan how to get there with logic and style. At various points in the online version of his article, readers can see how GPT-2 would have carried on writing Mr. Seabrook’s piece for him. The writing gives the impression of being human. But on closer inspection it is empty, even incoherent.

Meaningless writing is the preserve of artificial intelligence. But to truly write, you must first have something to say. Computers do not. They await instructions. To compose meaningful  essays, the likes of GPT-2 will first have to be integrated with databases of real-world knowledge.

【1】Why does the author mention Gmail in the first paragraph?

A.To prepare for the introduction of the topic. B.To advertise the powerful Gmail.

C.To describe the feature of Gmail. D.To prove the strength of the Gmail.

【2】In what way is GPT-2 more powerful than Gmail?

A.It is creative. B.It has neurons with synapses.

C.It can offer quick answers. D.It can follow a certain writing style.

【3】What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?

A.GPT-2 is powerful because it is integrated to real-world knowledge.

B.GPT-2 has already been able to write meaningful essays.

C.GPT-2 still has a long way to write like humans.

D.GPT-2 can help Mr. Seabrook with writing very well.

【4】Where is the passage taken from?

A.A brochure. B.An advertisement.

C.A magazine. D.An essay.

25、   My eight-year-old son’s soccer team in Washington DC was put together several years ago. The team has won _______ one game in the last three seasons. Yet, despite the endless _______, soccer is my son’s favorite activity. He plays soccer at every _______, even at break time and at the aftercare(病后护理), and although he doesn’t play as well as the best players in his school, this hasn’t _______ him in the least.

He ________ my sudden torrent(滔滔不绝) of guidance. “Mom, I play midfield or defense, not forward. And ________, soccer isn’t about being aggressive. It’s about ________.” After hearing that, I paused and ________. How strange it is that I, who never played any sport for a single day of my life, wanted my son to be a(n) ________ footballer!

Isn’t it extraordinary that kids don’t necessarily ________ their attempts to have impressive results? They love the activity for itself. Becoming an adult means a gradual ________ of that spirit. To stand out or ________, people develop a spirit of competition. How often have I become ________－professionally and personally－when things haven’t gone the way I wanted?
