B
He really did look like a tourist, with a camera around his neck and a bottle of sunscreen cream sticking out of his bag. The fat man sat on the terrace (平台),sipping lemonade and pretending to look at a tourism brochure. His sunglasses masked his eyes, but I knew he wasn't looking at the brochure: he hadn't turned a page for the last ten minutes. As I brought him his dishes, he coughed up a "thank you" and looked at me briefly. I tried not to stare at the tiny scar across his left eyebrow.
I walked back inside with my empty tray, shaking my head. He looked familiar, but I couldn't quite place him. Then it hit me. The car accident. The mysterious stranger who helped me out of my crashed car, just before it exploded. I rushed back to his table. He was gone.
I moved his saucer and found his tip, along with a card:I am deeply grateful to you. The night o£ your car accident, I was on my way to rob a jewelry store. Saving your life brought things back in a right way. I now live an honest life, thanks to you. God bless you! Mr. D.
I shivered(震颤).The night of my car accident, I was heading for an interview in an illegal dance club. Seeing human kindness through his heroic gesture turned my life around and brought faith back into my life. I unfolded the tip he left. Among the singles was a grand (—千块)with a pen mark underlining “In God We Trust.”I said a silent prayer for him and got back to work, smiling.
24.Why did the fat man look like a tourist?
A.Because he used money not the same as the locals.
B.Because he carried what tourists usually have on.
C.Because he doesn't look like a native citizen.
D.Because he ordered strange food and drinks.
25.How did the writer knew the man didn't read the brochure?
A.He was drinking all the time. B.He sat still with his sunglasses.
C.The page remained unturned. D.He was staring at the writer.
26.What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A.They kept in touch with each other since then.
B.The writer had been searching for the man.
C.The man became a rich man years later.
D.The writer didn't go to that interview.
27.What is their attitude towards each other?
A.Sympathetic. B.Grateful.
C.Worried. D.Trusty.
C
Maybe you pop vitamins supporting brainpower, or stock upon these foods that boost brain health. But new guidelines from the American Academy of Neurology suggest there's something better you can do to keep your mind sharp.
A quarter of adults aged 80 to 84 experience mild cognitive (认知的) impairment, according to AAN. To address the widespread problem, a group of neurologists and Alzheimer's (阿尔兹海默氏症的) specialists went through existing studies to define the best ways to prevent and treat cognitive decline-and you might be surprised by what they included and what they didn't.
Surprisingly, the AAN guidelines don't include any medication (药物) or dietary recommendations. The authors stress that there haven't been any high-quality, long-term studies finding foods or medication can help cognitive decline. The guidelines also say doctors can consider suggesting cognitive training to patients with memory loss but not to rely on it. So far, the report's authors say the evidence is too inconclusive to say for sure if brain exercises, like memory and attention training or problem solving for everyday issues associated with memory loss, are beneficial. Still, these morning brain exercises can't do any harm.
But there was one big discovery from the new guidelines: Exercising just twice a week could improve cognitive decline. One study showed adults with mild cognitive impairment who did resistance training twice a week scored better on executive function and associative (联想的) memory tests than a group that worked on balancing, stretching, and relaxing.
What's more, another study had older adults attend either biweekly health classes or sessions of aerobics, strength training, balance exercises, and multitasking training. Six months later, the ones who'd exercised regularly scored better on cognitive health and memory tests, plus had less brain shrinkage.
AAN now recommends doctors tell patients with memory loss to exercise twice a week to keep their minds sharp. This is the best time to exercise if you want to improve your memory. It looks like you've got just one more reason to clear time in your schedule for a workout — even if it's only on the weekends.
28.What does the underlined word ''impairment'' in paragraph 2 refer to?
A.Error. B.Decline. C.Development. D.Presence.
29.AAN may be uncertain about .
A.strength training B.resistance training
C.exercises twice a week D.brain exercise
30.Which of the following may the author agree with?
A.Daily exercises are beneficial to Alzheimer.
B.The AAN guidelines attach importance to workout.
C.Medication is of significance in the AAN guidelines.
D.Stocking up on vitamins supporting brainpower means nothing.
31.In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?
A.Exercise. B.Entertainment. C.Science D.Health
D
Here is a record of the discussion about AI (artificial intelligence) conducted by several scientists:
Scientist A: I would say that we are quite a long way off developing the AI, though I do think it will happen within the next thirty or forty years. We will probably remain in control of technology and it will help us solve many of the world’s problems. However, no one really knows what will happen if machines become more intelligent than humans. They may help us, ignore us or destroy us. I tend to believe AI will have a positive influence on our future lives, but whether that is true will be partly up to us.
Scientist B: I have to admit that the potential consequences of creating something that can match or go beyond human intelligence frighten me. Even now, scientists are teaching computers how to learn on their own. At some point in the near future, their intelligence may well take off and develop at an ever-increasing speed. Human beings evolve biologically very slowly and we would be quickly substituted. In the short term, there is the danger that robots will take over millions of human jobs, creating a large underclass of unemployed people. This could mean large-scale poverty and social unrest. In the long term machines might decide the world would be better without humans.
Scientist C: I’m a member of the Campaign to Stop Killer Robots. Forget the movie image of a terrifying Terminator stamping on human skulls and think of what’s happening right now: military machines like drones, gun turrets and sentry robots are already being used to kill with very little human input. The next step will be autonomous “murderbots” following orders but finally deciding who to kill on their own. It seems clear to me that this would be extremely dangerous for humans. We need to be very cautious indeed about what we ask machines to do.
32.What is Scientist B worried about?
A.AI technology will destroy the earth. B.Robots will take the place of humans.
C.Computers can’t think by themselves. D.Humans will be unhappy without machines.
33.What does the underlined word “this” in the last paragraph refer to?
A.I launched the campaign to Stop Killer Robots.
B.We forget the movie image of a terrifying Terminator.
C.“Murderbots” will be against humans’ orders.
D.“Murderbots” can’t decide by themselves.
34.Which statement is CORRECT according to the record?
A.The employment will be affected by AI technology in the future.
B.Scientist A thinks AI technology will never develop.
C.“Murderbots” will follow the orders of their manufacturers in the wars.
D.All the three scientists agree that AI technology will benefit human beings.
35.Who agree(s) AI has more negative aspects than positive aspects?
A.Scientist A. B.Scientists B & C. C.Scientist B. D.Scientists B & A.

The effect of bullying (欺凌) can be serious and even lead to tragedy. Unfortunately, it is still a mostly researched area.
36. That year, two students with shotguns, both of whom had been considered gifted and who had been bullied for years, killed 13 people, wounded 24 and then committed suicide.

Now more and more students own smartphones which become part of their daily life. They use smartphones not only to get information around the world more quickly and easily, but also escape the pressure of life.
However, every coin has two sides. Some students spend too much time and money on smartphones so that they don’t have time to communicate face to face with their friends or family. As a result, their life and studies have been badly affected.
In my opinion, we should avoid using smartphones too much. Meanwhile, it’s necessary for us to take part in more outdoor activities.
