I was a teacher befre I had my first daughter. As much as I enjyed being an educatr, I decided t stay at hme with ur baby — at least fr the first few years. I enjyed every day we spent tgether fr a year and a half until I fund myself pregnant (怀孕) with identical twin girls.
After the girls were brn, it was the busiest time f my life. Between bttle feeding tw, changing three little nes in diapers (尿布), and getting them t sleep, I was a ht mess. I was s exhausted that shwering and washing my hair tk t much energy, s I ften skipped them. One afternn when I sat n the cuch with my three screaming children, an idea struck me: I had t write this dwn. All f it. Every experience, feeling, and challenge frm the past year and a half. I didn’t knw hw I wuld find the time t write but I knew I wuld.
And I did. I wrte during nap times, in the evenings, and n weekends when my husband was hme and culd watch ur crew. It started as scattered jurnal entries and incmplete sentences written dwn in a ntebk r n my laptp. Slwly ver mnths the wrds frmed cmplete thughts, then cmplete paragraphs. Sn, I had made anther decisin. I wanted t write a memir (回忆录) in hpes that: it wuld inspire ther wmen in similar situatins. When my bk was finally published and drew sme attentin, I realized hw much I lved writing essays that tk the reader n a transfrmative jurney, much like my wn.
The ld prverb says “write what yu knw.” In just a few shrt years 1 have had s much life experience that I have a lt t write abut. My daughters are my muse. The experience f having all three f them has given me the cnfidence t pursue my dream f writing.
I feel I am still teaching, but nw instead f thrugh a chalkbard, my wrds flw thrugh the pages f my bks, essays and features. And the nly certificatin I need nw, is the ne I have—as a mther.
24. Hw des the authr describe her life as a mther f three children?

C. Pleasant and interesting.D. Amazing and meaningful.
25. Why did the authr decide t write a memir?
A. T achieve her writing dream.B. T make a nte f her past.
C. T earn mney fr her family.D. T help mre mthers like her.
26. What des the underlined wrd “muse” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Target.B. Inspiratin.C. Audience.D. Favrite.
27. What dcs the authr mainly talk abut in the text?
A. Hw she brught u her children.

There are many ways we can enjy sprt—watching it n TV r a smartphne, attending an event at a stadium r even playing the game. Bu fr thse wh enjy getting cmpetitive with their cmputer gaming, there are realistic-lking games t be played withut leaving hme. And peple’s interest in this type f sprt—if that’s what we can call it—has gne t a new level.
Initially, grabbing a cntrller and playing a game was individual activity. But arund 20 years ag cmputers became cheaper and the Internet became faster, which made it much easier fr mre peple t get invlved with cmputer gaming. This led t gamers cnnecting with each ther arund the wrd, s they culd g head-t-head nline. It als became a spectatr sprt, with peple watching thers play. The whle experience has been given the name “esprts”—Electrnic Sprts.
Nw, huge esprts turnaments take place all ver the wrld in big arenas (竞技场) with large crwds. Diehard enthusiasts, wh have becme first-rate players, are nw well-knwn—sme play tgether in teams. Its tp stars can earn millins f dllars a year, withut even breaking int a sweat! And fans frm arund the wrld tune in t watch the actin nline. The glbal audience is nw estimated at mre than 200 millin and grwing. Annual prfits frm esprts, currently arund 650 millin dllars fr events, cntinue t rise with billins mre thrugh the vide games sales.
Famus ftball clubs are nw trying t get in n the actin. England’s Ftball Assciatin fr example launched its first esprts team this year, knwn as the eLins. It recruited (招募) FIFA 19 players t represent them at the FIFA eNatins Cup. Mark Bullingham, the FA’s chief cmmercial and ftball develpment fficer, said “The FA prides itself n being a mdern, innvative rganizatin that tries t engage and inspire all generatins f ftball fans.”
But while this virtual versin f ftball might give ftballers a chance t get clser t the real game, sme might argue the lack f physical activity means it shuldn’t be called a sprt—and the biggest winners are the cmpanies wh prmte and sell esprts.
28. What cntributed mst t the ppularity f esprts?
A. The supprt frm the public.B. Cheaper cmputers and faster Internet.
C. The advanced sprts equipment.D. Peple’s preference fr individual activities.
29. What can we infer abut esprts frm paragraph 3?
A. They have becme a big industry.B. They make players get rich easily.
C. They will replace traditinal sprts.D. They have a great impact n ther sprts.
30. Why des the authr mentin the FA in paragraph 4?
A. T explain why it has becme interested in esprts.
B. T tell readers it is taking the lead in hsting esprts.
C. T state the fficers are prud f its achievements in esprts.
D. T shw famus ftball clubs are getting invlved in esprts.
31. Which f the fllwing is the best title fr the text?
A. The Rise f Esprts
B. The Advantages f Esprts
C. Esprts Teams: Famus fr Star Players
D. Esprts Turnaments: Exciting and Fantastic Events

Artificial intelligence (AI) still can’t see the future, but a new algrithm (算法) may cme clse: using nthing but written mvie summaries, the AI can cnsistently tell which films will play well—r awfully—t critics and audiences. If the mdel can be further imprved, it culd ne day help prducers predict whether a mvie will be a failure at the bx ffice, befre it’s even made.
T test several mdels, researchers used plt summaries f 42,306 mvies frm all ver the wrld, many cllected frm Wikipedia. The mdels brke the summaries by sentence and used smething called sentiment (情感) analysis t analyze each ne. Sentences cnsidered “psitive”, such as “Thr lves his hammer”, wuld receive a rating clser t psitive ne. And sentences that were cnsidered “negative”, like “Thr gets in a fight” wuld be rated clser t negative ne.
Generally, successful mvies such as 1951’s Alice in Wnderland—which scred 80% n the mvie-rating website Rtten Tmates—have frequent waves in sentiment; unsuccessful nes, such as 2009’s The Limits f Cntrl, vary less. It’s nt imprtant whether the films begin r end happily, the researchers say. What’s imprtant is that the sentiments change frequently.
The sentiment ratings in each summary wee then simplified int a single scre t reflect hw ften the sentiment changed. The researchers teste three different methds f arriving at a final scre. All three culd predict fairly accurately whether a mvie wuld be unppular, and ne methd wrked especially well fr guessing which thrillers and cmedies reviewers wuld hate.
The methds were nt as efficient at guessing which mvies wuld succeed, but they still predicted the results mre accurately than randm chance. In the future, the researchers say their methds culd be bettered t predict the amunt a mvie culd earn at the bx ffice and help prducers decide which mvies t invest in. The system’s fair judgment might give an advantage t less well-knwn writers, the researchers add. It culd als ptentially save the public frm having t sit thrugh films like Jaws: The Revenge, which nline cities and audience alike rate as terrible.
32. Hw can AI help fresee the future f mvies?
A. By testing plt mdels.B. By using sentiment analysis.
C. By writing summaries.D. By cnsulting critics and audiences.
33. What is the key factr fr a successful mvie accrding t the researchers?
A. A happy ending.B. Famus mvie stars.
C. A well-knwn prducer.D. Frequent sentiment changes.
34. What benefit will the methds pssibly bring?
A. Helping prducers invest wisely.B. Assessing a mvie’s quality accurately.
C. Increasing bx ffice earnings.D. Prviding written summaries fr critics.
35. What’s the researchers’ attitude t the mdel?
A. Dubtful.B. Cautius.C. Optimistic.D. Ambiguus.

M: Wrking in China is a great pprtunity fr a Westerner, but smetimes living alne in a freign cuntry can be lnely. The nights with n cmpany can pass slwly. Befre I had time t make friends in the cuntry, I decided t pass my spare time by catching up n my reading. Befre mving t China, I didn’t have much spare time. And when I did, I filled it by tending the garden and watching TV, but mainly listening t music. In China, I first started reading bks abut peple I was interested in — pp stars, actrs and film stars. I gt thrugh my bks quite fast — ne every week. When I ran ut f celebrity bks, I mved n t nvels — and this was when I really began t lve reading. I read sme classics recmmended by thers and eventually I fund sme mdern authrs I really liked, such as Ian McEwan, J Nesb and, my favrite, Ann Patchett. If yu ask me what I like abut Ann Patchett’s bks, I might find it difficult t explain. They aren’t crime stries r mysteries. In sme f them, nthing much happens at all. But she has a talent fr making the reader interested in her characters. Yu just want t knw what they will d next in their quite nrmal lives. I am s glad that being lnely gave me the pprtunity t discver the magic f bks.
