The US space agency is looking for a "joker" to join their journey to Mars.A journey to Mars is no laughing matter. On average, the red planet is 140 million miles away. A trip there would take around eight months in a small spaceship. As it is difficult to communicate, astronauts will have to wait 20 minutes for a reply when an emergency（突发事件）happens."When you're living with others in a confined space for a long time, problems will happen," said Jeffrey Johnson, a scientist at the University of Florida. This is probably why NASA wants an astronaut with a sense of humour. "These people have the ability to pull everyone together."In stressful situations, perhaps humour is a way to know we aren't alone. By laughing together, we share stress. Then we can focus on our jobs instead of just worrying.There are other examples of team "jokers". One example is the journey to the South Pole led by Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen. Adolf, a cook at Amundsen's team, was a "joker". He made people laugh through the whole difficult and dangerous journey. Amundsen later wrote that Adolf was the most valuable member of the team.But if you're hoping that your favourite TV comedian （喜剧演员） will fly to Mars, that probably won't happen. "Being funny won't be enough to land somebody the job," Johnson said. "They also need to be an excellent scientist and engineer." Besides, they must be in top physical condition.（　　）14. The underlined word "confined" in Paragraph 3 is similar in meaning to "_____".A. empty            B. open            C. limited          D. different（　　）15. Who might get the job offered by NASA?A. A good cook.                         B. A talented joker.C. A humorous engineer.                  D. A popular comedian.（　　）16. How does the writer think humour can help astronauts?A. Reminding them of their family.          B. Bringing them closer on a journey.C. Helping them know themselves better.     D. Helping them fix basic problems.（　　）17. Why does the writer mention the example of the cook?A. To show the importance of their food.B. To prove the role of humour in difficult situations.C. To stress（强调）a cook is more important than an explorer.D. To explain a journey to the South Pole matters a lot.C“Why doI live?Why doI wish for anything,or do anything? Is there anything in my life that will not be destroyed by my death?"Like Leo Tolstoy, the famous Russian writer, many people ask these difficult questions. Tolstoy spent his whole life trying to answer these difficult questions.As a young man, he thought people could achieve perfection if they tried hard enough. So he worked very hard to be the best in everything. He thought that he would find meaning and truth in success.In the 1850s, Tolstoy wrote his first stories. He wrote about his life in the army. He also told stories about his childhood. These works were published and Tolstoy became a well-known writer. He earned the respect he always wanted. Many rich and smart men met and talked with Tolstoy. Some of them were writers like him. They talked a lot about faith（信仰） and the meaning of life. But soon Tolstoy recognized that these men were not perfect. Now he knew they could not answer his questions about faith.So in the 1860s, Tolstoy tried a different way to find the meaning of life. He opened a school for the children of his serfs-the people who worked on his land. These workers were very poor. He wanted to help them because he thought they were more honest than the rich people he knew.Tolstoy learned a lot from his workers. He understood how they worked hard to support their families. He began to believe that marriage and family would give his life meaning. So in 1862, Leo Tolstoy married a young woman named Sonya Be hrs.The next 15 years were the best years of Tolstoy's life. It was during this time that he wrote his most famous books---War and Peace and Anna Karenina. Many experts say that War and Peace is one of the greatest books ever written. In these books. Tolstoy believed humans should live a simple life and take care of their families. Tolstoy thought this would satisfy him and bring him happiness.Leo Tolstoy is still a very respected writer today. His faith and writings have influenced many people all over the world.（　　）18. Which is the CORRECT order of the following events?①Tolstoy served in the army.②Tolstoy got married.③Tolstoy wrote War and Peace. ④Tolstoy opened a school.⑤Tolstoy became a well-known writer.A.① ⑤ ③ ② ④             B.⑤ ① ③ ② ④C.① ⑤ ④ ② ③             D.⑤ ④ ① ③ ②（　　）19.

According to the passage, which of the following is themost important to Tolstoy?A. Family.        B.Success.C. Wealth.        D.Life.（　　）21. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Leo Tolstoy: Living for writing.B.Leo Tolstoy:Influencing the world.C. Leo Tolstoy: Being the best in everything.D. Leo Tolstoy: Searching for the meaning of life.DEver since the earliest people painted on cave walls, we have used art to explore our experiences and what it means to be human. But what if a work of art wasn't created by a human? This is a question that's being asked more and more as artists begin programming robots to create everything from paintings and sculptures to music and literature.In 1973, British-born painter Harold Cohen wrote a computer program called AARON. At first, AARON only made simple outlines whose color and details Cohen would later add. Fifty years later,AARON is able to paint people, landscapes and just about anything else a human could paint.So can AARON be called an artist or creative? In 2010, Cohen explained that although he wrote the first computer code that AARON follows, "AARON can produce unlimited numbers of images." So according to Cohen, the simple answer is yes, AARON is creative.It's not just paintings that robots are creating, though. Last year, a robot called Shimon made its first album(音乐专辑) on Spotify. Built by a team at Georgia Tech’s Center for Music Technology in the US, Shimon began life as a simple robot piano player. Over the years, however, it has learned how to work with other musicians, write songs and compose. Shimon does this by studying much music to know types and then uses that information to create works.It may be cool to hear a song created by a robot, but is there any other reason to build robots that can play music? According to Gil Weinberg, one of Shimon's creators, because the robot is able to do things that a real musician might not think of, he and his team hope and believe that these new abilities would push human collaborators(合作者) to new directions that could not be achieved in human-to-human teamwork."Whether or not you believe that art created by robots is just as creative as art created by humans, there's no doubt that robotic art assistants(助手) could have very good influence on artists. For one, they could cut down the time which an artist needs to do basic parts of art creation.（　　）22. Which of the following is TRUE about ARRON and Shimon?A. All people think ARRON is a great artist.B. ARRON can paint people and landscapes at first.C. Shimon is expected to push humans to achieve more.D. Shimon can do things that human musicians can't do.（　　）23. Why can the robot be an assistant to help the artists?A. It may do better jobs than those real artists.B. It can create the art works as well as the real artist.C. It can make the artists spend less time creating art works than before.D. It can do some basic part of the art creations to help artists save time.（　　）24. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage?（　　）25. What is the author's opinion about the robots that create art?A. Supportive        B. Worried        C. Neutral(中立)  D.

I started learning French when I was 10 years old. But my whole experience with the language was in the classroom. All of that changed, however, during my last summer of high school. As a 17-year-old girl, I flew across the country by myself for the first time! I headed for Quebec to live in the province with a French-speaking host family, who didn't speak any English. And I would learn French at a local school.On the first day of school, all of us students were given a test to determine（测定）our language level. We were required to speak only French all summer.I made every effort to communicate in a second language by making new friends, seeing movies and even ordering food from restaurants in French. Though I couldn't understand most of it in the very beginning, the whole experience was exciting and refreshing.Finally my efforts paid off! At the end of the summer, I was able to communicate pretty well. I couldn't wait to go back to school and talk with my French teacher. Being fully immersed（沉浸）in a French-speaking environment was a valuable learning experience. And it could be the main reason for my improvement in French.  54. How long did the writer learn French before heading for Quebec? 55. How did the writer make efforts to communicate in French? 56.
