Many schools across the US hold graduation ceremonies this time of year. In
some schools, even 5 and 6-year-olds observe their graduation from kindergarten. And so can older people, much older. Meet 70-year-old Jerry Reid, who just
graduated from the University of Virginia in Charlottesville. He earned a bachelor’s
degree.
Mr. Reid might not look like the average college student; his hair is definitely grayer. But still Jerry Reid’s age is easy to forget, other UVA students know him as
one of their own. Mr. Reid sat into the “Hoo Crew,” a group that cheers loudly for
高二英语 第4页 （共13页）
the school at sports events. He also joined a men’s group on campus. He sang drinking songs along with many other students. Mr. Reid’s school friends say they can talk to him just about anything.
About a half century ago, in his 20s, Mr. Reid was not in school. Instead, he
was racing cars and chasing girls. But he says his friend Bill invited him to UVA parties. “Bill told me what a terrible life I had unless I came up here and went to school with him,” said Reid.
That was in 1963. Jerry Reid says it took him 48 years to take that advice. In
2011, he entered college. UVA Professor Luke Wright says Mr. Reid influences students. He opened the minds of the young adults. The teacher says Mr. Reid showed them that life does not end at 40. Instead, the 70-year-old college graduate believes that getting older can be the beginning of a dream.
“Remember that path that you left waits for you. It’s there. It’s yours. All you
must do is to get out of your own way and get back to it. And, that’s exactly what I did,” said Reid. Mr. Reid says that he and his wife Susan now would take some time off to enjoy his college degree. Then, he’ll return to UVA to begin studying for his graduate degree.
24. What do you know about Mr. Reid from the passage?
A. He was laughed at by other students.
B. He got his graduate degree at the age of 70.
C. He was interested in racing cars in his youth.
D. He transformed the views of young people completely.
25. From what he did in the university, we can infer that Mr. Reid was _________.

26. What does the fourth paragraph mainly discuss?
A. How Mr. Reid realizes his dream. B. What teachers think of Mr. Reid.
C. When Mr. Reid entered college. D. Why the students likes Mr. Reid.
27. What lesson can we learn from the story of Jerry Reid?
A. It is never too late to learn. B. Two heads are better than one.
C. Actions speak louder than words. D. A friend in need is a friend indeed.

If you have a dog, you probably spend a lot of time trying to figure out dog behavior. Like us, dogs are complex creatures, and it can be hard to know what’s behind your dog’s actions.
When you’re asking them to sit or giving them a treat, eye contact means that
their attention is on you and that they’re ready to listen. But sometimes your pup will look at you aimlessly. There are a few reasons why your dog might stare at you — even when you don’t call its name or do something to get its attention.
In general, dogs use eye contact to gain information and understand what
humans want them to do, says Philip Tedeschi, professor and researcher on the human-animal bond. “Dogs use eye contact as reassurance and understanding in very similar ways that humans do, to ascertain interpersonal connection and reaction. This helps us connect with them as well,” he says.
Science confirms that dogs use eye contact to express love. How do you tell if a
dog loves you? Well, if he stares at you, it’s a good sign! “Just like humans look into
each other’s eyes to show love, so does your dog,” says Tedeschi. “In fact, one study
showed that the ‘cuddle’ hormone oxytocin (拥抱荷尔蒙催产素) increases in both humans and dogs when they exchange a loving look.”
If the eye contact between a dog and a human is too long or too intense it might
lead to discomfort in the dog — similar to the way two humans staring at each other for a longer period of time would make them uncomfortable, according to Tedeschi. So what do you do if your dog stares at you? Look back, but not for too long. Dogs get awkward, too!
28. What does it usually mean when your dog stares at you?
A. It’s on guard against you. B. It’s longing to be hugged.
C. It’s ready for your instruction. D. It’s confused about your order.
29. What is the probable meaning of the underlined word “ascertain” in paragraph 3?
A. Make sure of. B. Take part in.
C. Come up with. D. Look forward to.
30. Why is “‘cuddle’ hormone oxytocin” mentioned in paragraph 4?
A. To tell people when a dog expects for human love.
高二英语 第6页 （共13页）
B. To confirm dogs employ eye contact to convey love like humans.
C. To show that a lot of people are working on this subject.
D. To illustrate that dogs are just like human in exchanging emotions.
31. How will a dog feel if you stare at it for a long time?
A. Beloved. B. Honored. C. Threatened. D. Embarrassed.

On the evening of April 8, Dunhuang Academy and Huawei jointly launched a brand-new technology-driven tour experience at the Mogao Grottoes. Using Huawei's newly-released Hetu artificial intelligence platform, coupled with the output of the Digital Dunhuang project, visitors to the Mogao Grottoes can enjoy a fantasy experience prior to entering the attraction.
Zhao Shengliang, director of the Dunhuang Academy, said that it has been
cooperating with
Huawei since March 2019. Using Huawei’s latest Hetu technology, visitors are able to see the detailed contents of the Dunhuang Art Murals(壁画)outside the caves, through their Huawei mobile phones. This will reduce the time tourists spend inside the cave, aiding the protection of the cultural relics, while at the same time helping to increase the amount of information visitors can obtain. It is also considered to be a new way of promoting Dunhuang Art.
The Dunhuang Academy has used digital technology to preserve the research
and exploration of Dunhuang Grottoes since the early 1990s. It has collected a wealth of data and has realized the goal of sharing of digital Dunhuang globally. It has played an important role in the protection and research of cultural site, as well as promoting the development and progress of related work.
The Huawei Hetu platform unites Dunhuang's study findings, high-resolution
images of the site's murals and virtual three-dimensional models with the real Mogao Grottoes. It has not only re-created the real tour of the scenic spot, but also developed a new way of digitally experiencing the grottoes. When people visit the site, they not only have the experience of seeing the real grottoes, but they can appreciate the admirable artworks more clearly and in greater detail.
In the future, Dunhuang Academy will continue to cooperate with Huawei to
高二英语 第7页 （共13页）
create more colorful virtual content to enrich the experience of Mogao Art on the platform, helping people around the world get to know Dunhuang Art better.
32.Which is NOT the advantage of the Hetu technology?
A. Decrease the cost of the visitors.
B. Reduce the time visitors spend inside the cave.
C. Help to protect the cultural relics.
D. Provide more information for tourists.
33. How long has the Dunhuang Academy used digital technology?
A. About a year. B. 90 years.
C. About 30 years. D. 10 years.
34.What's the author's attitude towards the cooperation between Dunhuang Academy and Huawei?
A. Doubtful. B. Opposed. C. Hopeful. D. Indifferent.
35.What is the best title for the text?
A. Dunhuang Academy Preserves Grottoes Well
B. AI Tech Helps Tourists Enjoy Dunhuang's Art
C. Huawei's Newly-released Hetu AI
D. Dunhuang Grottoes Attract Tourists

What exactly is a computer? That’s not always an easy question to answer. Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary defines a computer as “a programmable usually
electronic device that can store, retrieve (检索), and process data.” 36
For thousands of years, people have tried to improve their lives by inventing machines to make certain tasks easier. Some people believe a simple mechanical
device called an “abacus” was one of the earliest forms of a computer. 37
Archaeologists have found evidence that the ancient Greeks used the abacus as early as the 5th century B.C.
Modern computers were developed much more recently. The first modern
electronic computer—known as the Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer
高二英语 第8页 （共13页）
or ENIAC—became operational in 1946. Weighing more than 30 tons, ENIAC took
up as much space as 1,800 square feet. 38 While ENIAC could perform
5,000 addition problems per second, many of today’s laptop computers weigh just a few pounds and can perform several billion operations per second.
39 Large desktop computers gave way to laptops. Laptops have
developed into a wide variety of even smaller computing devices, such as netbooks and tablet computers. Many people even carry computers with them everywhere
they go. Smartphones—cellular telephones with advanced computing
capabilities—fit easily into a pocket and allow their users to make telephone calls, surf the Internet, and conduct business on the go.
So what’s the smallest computer available today? As of 2015, the smallest
computer is just one cubic millimeter. However, today’s computer manufacturers are constantly producing newer and smaller models at a rate too fast to keep up with.
40
A. Today, we rely on computers for all sorts of things.
B. Today’s computers keep getting smaller and smaller.
C. Ancient people used the device to perform simple calculations (计算).
D. Since then, computers have become much smaller and much more powerful.
E. Others think a computer is anything that transforms information in a meaningful way.
F. Modern laptops are slow compared to modern supercomputers.
G Whatever is smallest today will probably be replaced with something even smaller tomorrow!

Ten-year-old Sami loved to visit his grandfather’s house. The house was near the beautiful blue sea. At the seaside stood thick and tall palm trees with green coconuts hanging from them. When the coconuts fell down, Sami would break them open and drink the coconut water. Sami liked to play under the trees. It was always great fun to spend the holidays at Grandpa’s place.
This winter vacation, Sami was surprised when he came to his grandfather’s
village. There were hardly any trees left. He saw houses built near the sea. People
had cut down many palm trees and there was hardly any greenery left.
Grandpa’s house was different. He never allowed his trees to be cut. He hugged each palm tree in his courtyard. He also named the two big trees near the front
door-one was Petu, and the other Betu. He had planted them with his own hands and
today they had become large, massive trees with thick trunks. They were tall and
green and gave the sweetest, juiciest coconuts.
One night, Sami was awakened by a strange sound. He could not sleep. He tossed (辗转) and turned in bed. Suddenly, the ground shook as if the earth was splitting. He sat up straight and then ran to Grandpa. He clung (附着) to his grandpa tightly. Grandpa cried out, “It’s an earthquake~ it’s an earthquake!” They ran outside the house. They thought that would be safe.”
Suddenly, there was a loud sound; the earth was not splitting but the sea was
roaring. People were shouting, screaming and crying, “The sea is rising! The sea is rising.” The villagers started running away from the beach. Sami watched dumbstruck (呆若木鸡).
The waves were rising higher and higher. Sami thought, “How big the waves
are!” He went into the house again and saw water coming in from all sides. He was scared.
Sami remembered his mother telling him long ago, “You must always get out of
the house if the floods come too near.” He ran outside the house with Grandpa. But the water came surging (汹涌) in.
Waves about twelve meters high came rushing in, drowning everything. Water

Dear Smith,
I’m writing to express my heartfelt gratitude for your help while I was traveling in England during summer vacation.
It is your detailed and humorous introduction that enables me to have a deeper
insight into British culture and have a wonderful time there. I am also deeply impressed by your sincere help to get me some medicine when I caught a cold and your perfect advice in choosing gifts for my family.
Thanks again for all your efforts! I do hope someday you’ll come to China and
let me show you around my hometown.
Yours,

He clung to the tree tightly while the sea was all around . In hope of seeing Sami , Grandpa climbed higher up the tree. The water carried Sami round and round.
