A

It's 2035. You have a job，a family and you're about  40 years old! Welcome to your future life.

Getting ready for work, you pause in front of the  mirror. “Turn red，” you say. Your shirt changes from  sky blue to deep red.Tiny preprogrammed electronics  (智能电子元件) are rearranged in your shirt to change  its color. Looking into the mirror, you find it hard to  believe you're 40. You look much younger. With amazing  advances in medicine, people in your generation may live  to be 150 years old.You're not even middle­aged!

As you go into the kitchen and prepare to pour your  breakfast cereal into a bowl, you hear, “To lose weight, you shouldn't eat that！”from your shoes. They read the tiny electronic code(电子源码)on the cereal box to find out the nutrition details. You decide to listen to your  shoes. “Kitchen，what can I have for breakfast？”A list of possible foods appears on the counter as the kitchen  checks its food supplies.

“Ready for your trip to space？” you ask your son and daughter. In 2015 only specially trained astronauts went into space—and very few of them. Today anyone can go to space for day trips or longer vacations. Your best friend even works in space.Handing your children three strawberries each, you add, “The doctor says you need  these  for  space  travel.”  Thanks  to  medical advances, vaccination shots (防疫针) are a thing of the past. Ordinary foods contain special vaccines. With the strawberries in their mouths，the kids head for the front door.

It's time for you to go to work. Your car checks your fingerprints and unlocks the doors. “My office.Autopilot，”you command.Your car drives itself down the road and moves smoothly into traffic on the highway.You sit back and unroll your e­newspaper. The latest news downloads and fills the viewer. Looking through the pages, you watch the news as video film rather than read it.

A．The mirror.

B．The preprogrammed electronics.

C．The sunlight.

D．The medicine.

2．How do the shoes know that you shouldn't eat the      breakfast cereal?

C．By testing the food supplies in the kitchen.

D．By checking the nutrition details of the food.

3．The strawberries the children eat serve as ________．

“Siri，what's the weather like in San Francisco？”

“Today's forecast for San Antonio is...”

“No. San FRAN­CIS­CO ！！ ”

“The tapper Sisqo was born in Baltimore, Maryland.”

Sometimes, talking to an artificially intelligent robot is，well，not so   intelligent.

Yohav Shoham, the Stanford computer science professor, said, “AI has made truly amazing progress in the past decade, but computers still can't exhibit the common sense or the general intelligence of even a 5­year­old.” Yann LeCun, a French scientist, put it more simply. “We're very far from having machines that can learn the most basic things about the world in the way humans and animals can do. In particular areas machines have superhuman performance, but in terms of general intelligence they're not even close to a rat，” he explained.

Oren Etzioni, an Israeli scientist, said, “There's a brand of science fiction(小说) that's very dystopian (反面乌托邦的). These works of fiction talk about how the world is going to get much worse.I'm too much of an optimist (乐观者)to get a lot of pleasure out of reading such stories.”

However, robots are becoming smarter. Indeed, our homes are becoming more intelligent when we place devices (设备) like the Amazon Echo and Google Home on our kitchen counter.But，at least for the moment anyway，we  shouldn't feel intimidated by this artificial intelligence.

There are robots that move like animals and robots that offer guidance.There's even a robot that can paint a picture of Einstein and a robot that can fold your laundry. Robots are not taking over the world yet. So for now, we can simply sit back and relax. And have a robot waiter pour us a drink.

5．What does the dialogue at the beginning of the text tell us?

A．Robots aren't as smart as we expect.

B．It isn't easy to forecast the weather correctly.

C．A speaker may be misunderstood by another.

D．Weather is a good subject to start a conversation.

6．What do the scientists think about the artificially intelligent robots now?

A．They have superhuman performance in kitchen tasks.

B．They have the common sense of a 5­year­old.

C．They can only learn the basic things of humans.

D．They are still poor at general intelligence.

7．How did Oren find the dystopian science fiction?

A．Pleasant. B．Typical.

C．Realistic. D．Controversial.

8．What does the underlined word “intimidated” mean?

A．Comforted. B．Astonished.

C．Threatened D．Disappointed.

C

Have you ever heard of agritourism where you can experience the farm life? If not, Dr. Cindy Ayers­Elliott will tell you the real story of Foot Print Farms.

The original concept of building Foot Print Farms was simple. When Ayers­Elliott returned to her hometown after graduation, she didn't have to look any further than her state's alarming health statistics to find a mission. Everywhere she turned, there were reports of high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity and heart disease. “The problem was already identified，” explains Ayers­Elliott. “Too many Mississippians were seriously unhealthy and it didn't take research to see that. And many of the state's greatest health challenges could directly result from poor diet.”

These days, Foot Print Farms, which started with a few raised beds of herbs and vegetables, is making fresh, naturally grown food. “When speaking of the key to my success, the co­op model works because we share the work and rewards，” notes Ayers­Elliott “A perfect example is the Wingfield High School football team. To earn the money for equipment and other items, players committed to working five hours a week on the farm, and by the end of the summer they produced 1,000 melons and the profits from their sales helped to buy weights, T­shirts, sweat suits and pregame meals. But the lessons they learned about the rewards of hard work and working together to accomplish something were even more valuable products of their efforts.”

“It's a model that can easily be learned in other places and I'm looking forward to seeing some of our current partners do just that—to take what they have learned here and spin it off in other communities.” Ayers­Elliott remarks. She is now looking forward to developing an agritourism area to the farm, where visitors can experience the farm life, learn new skills and take with them seeds of inspiration they can sow in their own communities when they return home.

9．What made Ayers­Elliott set up Foot Print Farms?

A．The problems faced by local farmers.

B．Her further research into heart disease.

C．The failure of her career after graduation.

D．The health state of people in her hometown.

10．Why does the author take the football team as an example?

A．To advocate the concept of independence.

B．To stress the importance of teamwork.

C．To support the idea of co­op model.

D．To explore the key to success.

11．What is Ayers­Elliott's attitude towards the future of Foot Print Farms?

A．Optimistic.   B．Skeptical.

C．Cautious.    D．Ambiguous.

12．What is the main idea of the text?

A．Naturally grown food benefits people's health.

B．Food Print Farms is making a difference in Mississippi.

C．Ayers­Elliott encourages people to experience the farm life.

D．Agritourism is becoming increasingly popular in America.

In the basement of a landmark 27­story tower in Stockholm, Petterson is hoping to sow the seeds of an indoor urban farming revolution. He is the chief executive of Plantagon, a new urban farming factory set to kick off operations in the basement of an office block in the Swedish capital.

He is by no means the first enthusiast for indoor farming, which has become increasingly fashionable in recent years. Claims for the practice of growing food in basements range from feeding people in desert environments to transforming the negative environmental effects of monoculture farming.

Plantagon's early promises reflect this new optimism. Petterson calls the farm's approach “agritechture”： the combination of agriculture, technology and architecture hoping to revolutionize how we live and eat.

The term may be new, but the concept isn't. Indoor farming is made possible by agricultural technologies such as hydroponics (growing plants without soil) and aeroponics (in which plants are grown in air over containers) . Food can be produced without direct sunlight or soil.

Plantagon plans to grow high­value foods in a pumice­like material rather than soil. Water for the plants is measured precisely. It will also dehumidify(除湿) the air and reuse any extra water to ensure zero waste. Compared with conventional agriculture, it will need much less water to produce the same amount of crops.

Energy is also a key issue for indoor urban farms, which have to create artificial sunlight. Although advances in the efficiency of LED lights have helped bring down energy consumption in recent years, plants use only about 1 percent of the artificial light produced. This leads to a great waste of energy, most of which disappears as heat. The basement farm will capture around 70 percent of this wasted heat and pipe it into the heating system of the office block above. Oxygen produced by the plants will be sent to office workers via the building's air conditioners.

13．What does Plantagon plan to do in the basement?

A．Grow crops.

B．Do operations.

C．Open a seed company.

D．Give lectures about farming.

14．What do indoor farms do with energy waste?

A．Produce oxygen.

B．Run air conditioners.

C．Heat offices.

D．Create artificial sunlight.

15．What is the text mainly about?

A．A farming revolution.

B．Petterson's achievement.

C．A water­saving farming project.

D．An environment­friendly system.

Are you crazy？You finally retired! Why would you want to work in the hospital again？”My friends couldn't understand why，after forty years of nursing and four of retirement，I would return to nursing.Actually，I didn't understand either.Tired of the pressure of the job，I had eagerly and joyfully retired with no plans to practice nursing again.

Then one day a friend who was also a retired nurse told me how much she loved being a part of the Volunteer Registered Nurse program.“You help nurses care for patients at the bedside，”she said，“and the best part is that you do so at your own speed.”

She directed me to the program at our local hospital，and after completing lots of paperwork and a few classes，I was excited about getting back to the bedside.On my first day，after basic training，I stepped onto the surgical(外科的) floor to be welcomed with smiles and hellos from the staff.I checked with the charge nurse to see who needed my help the most or if there was a particular patient requiring some extra care.

She smiled，“I am so glad to see you.I can't believe you are here to help me.”Taking a deep breath，she added，“Mr.Jones needs a bath and some extra attention.He is so disappointed he's not going home today.”

I proceeded(前往) to the patient's room to see a sad man staring out of the window.

I gave him my biggest smile.“Hi，I'm Mary，a volunteer RN and I'm here to take special care of you this morning.”

I asked if he would like to take a shower and he shook his head.

“Taking a shower and putting on clean pajamas(睡衣) may make you feel better，”I encouraged.

He agreed and walked to the shower.___________________________________
