Cassius Marcellus Clay was born on January 17th, 1942 in Louisville, Kentucky. In his younger years he had no interest in sports until an accident happened.

When Cassius was 12, his new bike was missing. Reporting the theft to Policeman Joe Martin, he said that he was going to beat whoever had taken his bike. Martin, who had been coaching youth boxing for decades, asked the boy, “Do you know how to fight?” When Cassius admitted that he didn’t, the officer suggested, “You’d better learn!”

It was the beginning of his boxing career. Cassius devoted himself to boxing training. Although he wasn’t very talented in boxing, he worked harder than anyone else in the gym. He’d rush to the gym every day as soon as school was over and would even train on Saturdays. Outside of the gym, Cassius stayed away from anything that would influence his training. He was showing the kind of determination and discipline that other boxers didn’t have.

Under the guidance of Martin and his friend, young Clay began winning games one after another. By the age of 18 he had won 108 games, 6 Kentucky Golden Gloves championships and 2 national AAU titles.

Today he is recognized as the greatest athlete of modem times. He always carried a self confidence and believed in his ability that he can put his competitors off guard before the first round bell had even sounded.

29. How did Cassius feel when he told the policeman his bike was stolen?

A. Disappointed.    B. Confused.  C. Amazed.   D. Angry.

30. What did Martin do with young Cassius?

A. He asked Cassius to train hard.           B. He helped Cassius to find his bike.

C. He advised Cassius to learn boxing.       D. He introduced Cassius to an boxing coach.

31. Which can be used to describe Cassius?

A. Bad-tempered. B. Easy-going.   C. Cold-hearted.  D. Hard-working.

D

From self-driving cars to care-bots（care+robots） for elderly people, rapid development in technology has long represented a possible threat to many jobs normally performed by people. But experts now believe that almost 50 percent of occupations existing today will be completely unnecessary by 2025 as artificial intellig- ence continues to change businesses.

“The next fifteen years will see a revolution in how we work, and a revolution will necessarily take place in how we plan and think about workplaces,” said Peter Andrew, Director of Workplace Strategy for CBRE Asia Pacific.

A growing number of jobs in the future will require creative intelligence, social skills and the ability to use artificial intelligence.

The report is based on interviews with 200 experts, business leaders and young people from Asia Pacific, Europe and North America. It shows that in the US technology already destroys more jobs than it creates.

But the report states: “Losing occupations does not necessarily mean losing jobs — just changing what people do.” Growth in new jobs could occur as much, according to the research.

“The growth of 20 to 40 person companies that have the speed and technological know-how will directly challenge big companies,” it states.

A 2014 report by Pew Research found 52 percent of experts in artificial intelligence and robotics were optimistic about the future and believed there would still be enough jobs in the next few years. The optimists pictured “a future in which robots do not take the place of more jobs than they create,” according to Aaron Smith, the report’s co-author.

“Technology will continue to affect jobs, but more jobs seem likely to be created. Although there have always been unemployed people, when we reached a few billion people there were billions of jobs. There is no shortage of things that need to be done and that will not change,” Microsoft’s Jonathan Grudin told researchers.

32．We can infer from the text that in the future _____.

A．people will face many difficulties

B．people will take up more creative jobs

C．artificial intelligence will threaten people's lives

D．most jobs will be done in traditional workplaces

33．According to the report, _____.

A．people won't necessarily lose jobs

B．big companies will face fewer challenges

C．small companies will win against big companies

D．most people will become interested in technology

34．What is the attitude of most experts in artificial intelligence and robotics to the future?

A．Mixed           B．Worried.       C．Hopeful.        D．Doubtful.

35．Jonathan Grudin’s words in the last paragraph suggest that _____.

A．there will be enough jobs for people

B．things will change a lot in a few years

C．many people will become unemployed

D．technology will totally change future jobs

第二节（共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分）

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

I believe that one of the best ways to connect with people and build quality relationships is through making conversation. Although most people can hold a conversation, only a few are smooth when they talk. I have discovered five simple and effective ways to be a smooth talker. Here they are:

Talk slowly

Generally, good talkers don’t rush into a conversation.  36   They act as if they have all the time in the world. This makes them come off as centered and collected. Model this way of talking and you will create the same effect.

Hold more eye contact

Most people keep eye contact about 2/3 of the time or less when they talk.  37   This will

convey confidence and interest in interacting with them.

     38    

People with good conversation skills tend to notice the kind of things that the average person

 doesn’t notice, and to bring such details into the conversation. They may notice and point out an

 interesting ring on the other person’s hand, a certain foreign accent, or a certain voice tone they use

when saying a name. Thus, such individuals impress people in a very elegant manner.

Express Your emotions

__39___ Express your feelings about those facts. Keep in mind that it is at the emotional level

 that people connect best.

Use the best words

The ability to talk smoothly has a lot to do with choosing the precise words to convey your

 precise feelings or thoughts.  40  It will help you develop a way with words and allow you

to express yourself more easily.

Conversational skills don’t improve just like that. It takes time, practice and the ability to learn

 at a rapid rate from your own experiences.

A．Don’t just present the facts, you’re not a newspaper.

B．It’s a very good idea to hold eye contact just a bit more than that.

C．Notice the details.

D．It is important to improve conversational skills.

E．Offer interesting news.

F．They take their time when they reflect on something and when they say it out loud.

G．Develop your vocabulary and practice communicating as accurately as possible.

书面表达：

Dear Wang Mei,

I’m very glad to have received your e-mail. Now I’m writing to give you some advice on how to learn English well in high school.

First of all, you should listen to the teacher carefully and take notes in class so that you can go over your lessons as soon as you can/regularly after class. As is known to all=As we all know,vocabulary is of great importance / essential. You should spend half an hour in the morning reciting words and reading texts aloud. What’s more, try to communicate with your classmates in English out of class. Only in this way you can improve your listening and spoken English quickly. Last but not least, you should develop the habit of keeping a diary, which helps improve your written English and helps you go over/review the words and expressions that you have learnt.

I hope these suggestions will be of use to you. Remember: where there is a will, there is a way.
