二、阅读理解（共4题，共 20分）

26、 I put my bags beneath the seat and stretched out my legs. With a drink in my hand, I picked up my book and settled back for my four-hour flight to LA. This experience stood in contrast to the flight I’d taken a few months before, which included lots of candies and answering the question “Are we there yet?” frequently. On my non-kid flight, somewhere on board, a baby began to cry. Yes, I thought, as I read my book, traveling without kids was great.

My trip was to Hawaii. I was visiting a friend at Maui and running a 15k race. Then we were going to the beach of Oahu for a few days. We ate well and lazed on the beach. I didn’t have to tend to anyone’s needs but my own. But soon it was time to head home, back to responsibility, to where tasks were made harder by cries of “Five more minutes, Mom”.

After boarding for the last leg home, I noticed a mama flying with a baby. I’d been looking forward to sleeping on this final flight. But I found myself helping. Her name was Gabriela and her daughter was Olive, and they were flying to Nashville. Together we put away her things, and I picked up the dropped toys. As the plane began its descent (下降), Olive woke up. Gabriela talked to her in that sweet way a mama talks to her baby. I watched Olive’s face light up at her words, and I smiled in recognition. I’d seen that look on my kids’ faces. That expression of absolute adoration and trust. She’d helped me remember what I love about being a mom. When we landed, I helped Gabriela set up the stroller and waved them goodbye.

Then I hurried to my home, where my kids were waiting. When I walked through the door, their faces lit up like Christmas and they ran over to hold me tight. Yes, it’s nice to get away but nicer to come home.

【1】What happened to the author on the flight to LA?

A.She worried about her safety.

B.She was busy caring for her kids.

C.She enjoyed herself all the way.

D.She became impatient with a baby’s cry.

【2】Why did the author go to Oahu?

A.To go on a vacation. B.To take part in a race.

C.To achieve tough tasks. D.To call on her old friend.

【3】What might be a suitable title for the text?

A.Kids’ love is a mother’s power.

B.Family is the most important in life.

C.Nothing is happier than being a mother.

D.A mother’ love is the greatest thing in the world.

27、 In 2006, one of the biggest music feuds(积怨) in history ended when Apple (the iPad and iPhone company) and Apple Corps (The Beatles' record label) settled their differences. The argument had been over the 'apple' logos they both have as part of their trademarks(商标). Shortly after, The Beatles' music was launched for download. While the band's hit songs didn't make as big an impact as commentators(评论员) lad predicted, the event still led to plenty of press coverage.

But iTunes isn't the only technology linked to The Beatles. The Beatles: Rock Band is a video game for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Nintendo Wii which allows you to become The Beatles. Released in 2009, the game includes a drum kit, guitar and microphone so you can sing and play along to your favourite songs. Not surprisingly, the game was a huge success, selling more than two million units. A remastered box set of all The Beatles' albums was released on the same day, which also sold well.

Films about The Beatles are also popular. Recent movies include Nowhere Boy, which is a film about the life of John Lennon. It's directed by Sam Taylor-Wood and stars Aaron Johnson and Kristin Scott Thomas.

Magazines and newspapers are still often filled with Beatles stories, and the zebra crossing near Abbey Road recording studios(where the 1969 album of the same name was recorded), was ranked Grade II listing in 2010, which means it’ll be protected. This followed similar recognition for Abbey Road studios itself.

And the future for The Beatles? Well, the band could still top the charts as there are unreleased tracks that still haven't seen the light of day. A strange experimental track called Carnival of Light, and a 27-minute jam of Helter Skelter have never been heard by the public.

Will they ever be released?

【1】According to the passage, The Beatles' hit songs in 2006 ______

A.did not have 'apple' logos B.were not well received as expected

A.To show the increasing popularity of video games.

B.To highlight the technological application of The Beatles.

C.To promote the online sales of technological devices.

D.To emphasize the music talent of the rock band.

【3】From the passage we know John Lennon is ______.

A.a member of The Beatles B.the director of Nowhere Boy

C.a game developer D.the lead actor of Nowhere Boy

【4】The protection of the zebra crossing implies that ______.

A.the road was in bad state and needed protection

B.the road was a desirable place t report Beatles stories

C.the road made it difficult to recognize Abbey Road studios

D.the road was of historic importance and deserved attention

【5】What makes The Beatles' topping the charts possible?

A.Classical music. B.Unreleased songs. C.Strange works. D.Public curiosity.

28、 In 2012, Kim Stemple was a special education teacher and a solid performer in her age group in marathons. And then she got sick. After three years of tests and treatments, the doctors figured out she has a rare mitochondrial disease that is causing progressive mental and physical health to go worse. They told her there was no cure and that this disease would take her life.

Yet Stemple kept running and competing in marathons. One day she was training for the Rock “n” Roll Marathon in Las Vegas when she became too sick to travel. The usually outgoing Stemple sunk into disappointment. But then she received a gift — it was a marathon medal given to her by a friend.

Stemple hung the medal near her hospital bed and it was an instant conversation starter with doctors, nurses and anyone who came to visit. That medal pulled Stemple out of her disappointment. And that gave Stemple the idea to start We Finish Together, an organization devoted to connecting runners who wish to donate medals with those who might appreciate them. Stemple pens a handwritten note of encouragement on each of the medals she gives away. Recipients have included hospital patients, residents of homeless shelters and even doctors and nurses who care for the very ill. “This gives them a connection to someone,” says Stemple. “If they receive a medal, they know someone cares.”

Can a simple medal really make a difference? Joan Musarra said yes, who suffered from a serious disease. “I opened my package containing my new medal and the notes of positive, warm thoughts. I was really excited,” she wrote to Stemple. “It means so much to me to feel that I am not alone.”

【1】What can we infer about Stemple before she got too sick to exercise?

A.She was doubtful. B.She was courageous.

C.She was down-hearted. D.She was optimistic.

【2】What inspired Stemple to found We Finish Together?

A.The patients’ request. B.The medals she won.

C.Her friend’s gift. D.The encouragement from doctors.

【3】How does Stemple’s organization help people in need?

A.By having chats. B.By giving out recycled medals.

C.By contributing money. D.By connecting their relatives.

【4】Why did Musarra write the letter to Stemple?

A.To show the medal’s positive effect on her.

B.To discuss about their illnesses.

C.To relieve the symptoms of her illness.

D.To ask for another medal.

29、“This has gone as well as I could have dreamed, and I can fly in the near future!” Yes, Alyssa Carson, a now-18-year-old astronaut from Baton Rouge, Louisiana is capable. For her, riding the most aggressive roller coaster in the park is not a big deal. If all goes according to her plans, NASA will send her to Mars in 2033, making her the first human to step foot on the planet. She will spend two to three years living there, growing food, performing science experiments and searching for signs of life. “The Martian is actually very accurate,” she said. “A lot of things that happened in the movie are similar to what is going to happen.” She has devoted her entire life to preparing for her journey.

Her love for space started when she watched a cartoon called The Backyardigans at the age of 3. Five animal pals on imaginary adventures in their backyard, including one part-a mission to Mars. “I thought ‘This red planet is so cool!’” she said. “I started watching videos of rovers’ landing on Mars. I had a large map of Mars in my room which I would look at every day. I started getting telescopes so I could look at space.

At 7, her father took her to space camp in Huntsville, Alabama. “That was the weekend of my life.” she said. I got to learn everything I had been wanting to know and I got to see a life-size rocket.” She cherished the rocket so much that she returned 18 times. At 12, she became the first person in history to attend all three NASA space camps in Huntsville, Alabama; Quebec, Canada and Izmir, Turkey.

At first she mastered the basics of space and how humans have explored it throughout time. As she got older she simulated (模拟) missions, trying to reach a destination in gravity-free, weightless zones.

When she was 9, she met NASA astronaut Sandra Magnus. The experienced explorer told her she was her age when she decided to go to space. At that moment Alyssa knew her love of space was not a hobby. “I did the same thing as other kids, like switching my mind about careers, wanting to be a teacher or the president one day,” she said. “But the way I always thought about it was I would become an astronaut, go to Mars, come back, and then be a teacher or the president.”

【1】Which of the following about Alyssa Carson is right?

A．She has created model missions to Mars.

B．She is the youngest one who has completed astronaut training.

C．She is likely to be the first human to perform different tasks on Mars.

D．She has visited the space camp in Huntsville,Alabama for nearly 30 times.

【2】What’s supposed to be stressed by referring to NASA astronaut Sandra Magnus?

A．The power of space dreams.

B．The popularity of space travel.

C．The importance of career choices

D．The excitement of her space experiences.

【3】What can’t be inferred from the article?

A．The Backyardigans is a cartoon for kids.

B．Alyssa will have many tasks to complete if she lands on Mars successfully.

C．Alyssa was forced to learn the basics of space science by her father.

D．Alyssa enjoys riding roller coasters like many other young people.

【4】What does the author intend to do in writing the passage?

A．To introduce American space industry.

B．To promote the values of American teens.

C．To encourage tours to Mars.

D．To present a rising American space star.

A huge milestone has just been reached in the field of artificial intelligence: AlphaGo, a program developed by Google’s DeepMind unit, has defeated legendary Go player Lee Se-dol in the first of five historic matches being held in Seoul, South Korea. Lee 【1】 after about three and a half hours, with 28 minutes and 28 seconds remaining on his clock. The series is the first time a professional 9-dan Go player has taken on a computer, and Lee is 【2】 for a $1 million prize.

“I was very surprised,”said Lee after the match.“I didn’t expect to lose. But I didn’t think AlphaGo would play the game in such a perfect manner.”DeepMind founder Demis Hassabis expressed“huge 【3】 for Lee Se-dol and his amazing skills.”calling the game“hugely exciting”and“very tense.”Team lead David Silver said it was an“amazing game of Go that really pushed AlphaGo to its 【4】.”

Go is an ancient Chinese board game that has long been considered one of the great 【5】faced by AI. While computer programs ow best the world’s leading human players of games like checkers and chess, the high level of intuition and 【6】required by Go has made it tough for computers to crack. DeepMind’s AlphaGo program is the most 【7】effort yet, using a complex system of deep neural networks and machine learning; it beat European champion Fan Hui last year, but Lee Se-dol is another 【8】 rival entirely.

“I don’t regret accepting this challenge,”said Lee.“I am in shock, I admit that, but what’s done is done. I enjoyed this game and look forward to the next. I think I failed on the opening layout so if I do a better job on the opening aspect I think I will be able to increase my 【9】 of winning.”Lee was surprised both by how strong AlphaGo’s opening was, and by some 【10】moves.

35、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.

" I guess 【5】 we will all have a better understanding as a result.

While the other tigers and lions were also 【6】 symptoms, the zoo decided to test only Nadia because she was the sickest and had started to lose her appetite already, and they did not want to 【7】 all the cats to anesthesia(麻醉), Calle said.

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.
