A

EAST ORANGE, N.J. (CBS New York) — A third grader who knew what to do in an emergency and took action is being credited with saving a life at school.

Kori Scott, 9, was honored Thursday by the mayor of East Orange, New Jersey for her quick-thinking and bravery when a friend began choking in the lunchroom about two weeks ago.

“I could just tell, because when I saw her starting to swallow, she stopped and started pounding on the table,” she told CBS2’s Clark Fouraker. Scott said her friend was eating a burrito and left the cafeteria at Bowser Elementary looking for water. “I started following her and when I came out, she was holding onto a rail,” she said.

It would be an urgent situation for anyone, but Scott remembered something important as she left the lunchroom — her friend would not be able to take a drink of water, because she was choking. “I knew if she was holding onto the railing and she went to lean her head over, she would have hit her head and she would have passed out,” she said. “So I pulled her over, did the Heimlich maneuver — one, two, three. But I did it one more time to make sure that she wasn’t choking.”

“I picked her up from school. The teacher came out near-tears and she was like ‘Kori did an exceptional job, an amazing job today.’ And I was like, ‘What?’ She said, ‘she saved a life.’” Scott’s mother, Kiana, said. Scott learned to do the Heimlich after her father performed it on her when she was three.

“Kori’s smart instincts (直觉) and quick action are the characteristics of a true hero,” said Mayor Ted Green. For her bravery, the mayor is making Scott “Mayor-For-The-Day” on Friday.

Her friend may not be alive today if the girl hadn’t known exactly what to do and sprung into action. In addition to learning the Heimlich maneuver from her father, Kori has been training classes with her mother, a security guard with the school district.

1. What do we know about Kori Scott?

A. She is careful and quick-minded.

B. She performed Heimlich maneuver before.

C. She received first aid training from her mother.

D. She panicked at the sight of her friend’s choking.

2. What is the text mainly about?

A. Father’s previous performance guaranteed Scott’s success.

B. First-aid techniques enabled Scott to escape from danger.

C. The teacher was satisfied with Scott’s heroic deeds.

D. Scott was honored for saving her choking friend.

3. What is the text?

A. A short story. B. A research paper.

C. A news report. D. A course advertisement.

【答案】1. A2. D3. C

B

We live in a time when robots entertain, teach and surprise us. Just as smartphones and social media offer a connectivity beyond anything we imagined, robots are beginning to offer physical capabilities and artificial intelligence (AI) beyond our expectations. Together, these technologies could be used to help solve important challenges like ageing societies, environmental threats and global conflicts.

But many of us wonder whether AI will become so intelligent in human communication that the boundaries between human and artificial beings will blur. If it is possible to build a meaningful interaction with an artificial agent, will there still be a division in the relationships we have with people and technology? Also, once our human bodies and minds are enhanced with AI and robotics, what will it mean to be “human”?

From an engineering perspective, these advanced capabilities are still very far away. A number of hurdles need to be overcome. For now, robots and computers are completely dependent on a power source — they require a lot of electricity, and this complicates integrating robotic elements with human organic tissue. Another hurdle is the complexity of human communication. While a one-off natural language conversation in a specific context with a robot can feel realistic, engaging people verbally and non-verbally over many contexts is quite another matter.

For example, when you call an artificial lost-and-found agent at an airport, a pleasant conversation is possible because there are only a limited number of goals the caller has. However, in creating a more extended relationship, for example, with a robotic pet, the robot needs to have internal goals, an extensive memory that relates experiences to various contexts, and it needs to develop these capabilities over time.

Through smart “tricks”, a robot can seem more intelligent and capable than it is. Humans have the tendency to “make sense” of the robot’s behaviors in a human way. However, in order to sustain a meaningful relationship which deepens and evolves over time, an extensive artificial inner life will need to be created.

4. What is the message conveyed in paragraph 2?

A. AI technology is undergoing unexpected reforms.

B. Humans can’t build a meaningful interaction with robots.

C. People doubt whether artificial beings can replace humans.

D. Social problems may be solved with the development of AI.

5. What can be inferred about AI from paragraphs 3 — 4?

A. Gaps exist between technology and advanced AI capabilities.

B. It is impossible to make a realistic conversation with a robot.

C. Robot pets have a memory linked to previous experiences.

D. Future robots can operate without electricity.

6. Which of the following is the best title for the text?

A. Robot’s Behaviors Are Worthy of Being Understood

B. Various Factors Restrict Expansion of AI Capabilities

C. High Technologies Facilitate the Man-machine Interaction

D. Artificial Inner Life Needs Extending for Sustainable Human-Robot Relations

【答案】4. C5. A6. D

C

The majority of people are unable to commit to a healthy long-term lifestyle — although they are somehow willing to! There seems to be a paradox here.

We become more aware of the importance of leading a healthy lifestyle on a regular basis. Yet, we just don’t manage to. We may engage in a variety of short-term projects: 1-week detox retreats or 1-month severe diets. But the benefits these short-term activities produce are quickly lost as we are dragged back to our “bad” habits in the longer-term. The inability to stick to a healthy lifestyle makes us feel frustrated and unhealthy. What is the way out then?

The first step is to understand the problem more deeply: What are the main obstacles of pursuing a healthy lifestyle? Which are the fundamental aspects to a healthy lifestyle? How are they interconnected? If we understand the problem and its components more deeply, we are one step closer to coming up with a solution.

Surveys show how in 85% of cases in the US and Europe, the main obstacles to pursuing a healthy lifestyle are to be found among lack of awareness, time, self-control and guidelines.

“Humans tend to heavily discount the future, meaning things that we have now are more valuable to us than things we’ll have in a few years.” said A. Braun in 2019. For this reason, we cannot correctly weigh the costs and consequences of choosing unhealthy habits today, and we tend to give in to short-term pleasures, although this means reducing longer-term benefits.

We deliberately choose to experience and enjoy short-term pleasure, mainly because of a stress condition we may have, or because of personality. The underlying reason for these behaviors is primarily stress, as neuroscience discoveries in fact suggest, “In general, stress results in habit behavior in humans, so dealing first and foremost with stress is probably advisable when you are looking to make lasting changes. Luckily, your brain can change throughout life. Decreasing stress could finally help your brain become less easily influenced by habit.”

7. Why do people engage in various short-term projects?

A. To delete a bad habit. B. To keep healthy in lifestyle.

C. To go on a severe diet. D. To solve the paradox.

8. What is the obstacle of pursuing a healthy lifestyle?

A. Lacking enough self-discipline. B. Gaining no reward from working out.

C. Having no motive when making schedules. D. Relying on too much guidance from others.

9. By quoting A. Braun’s words in paragraph 5, the author wants to.

A. highlight the association between habits and lifestyle

B. stress the long-term value of adopting healthy habits

C. show a trend of pursuing long-term pleasures

D. convey people’s commitment to a healthy lifestyle

10. What can we learn about neuroscience discoveries?

A. Changing brain activities helps decrease stress.

B. Personality contributes to one’s short-term pleasure.

C. People’s habit behavior tends to dominate their emotions.

D. Reducing stress is the key to sticking to a healthy lifestyle.

【答案】7. B8. A9. B10. D

Chinese architecture probably has the most cultural influence. Traditionally buildings were designed for its width, not its height. Every important building is guarded around a large wall to protect their assets. While ordinary dwellings are grey and dull, palaces and places of importance are quite colorful. _____14_____ Each Chinese home has their entrance at the front and facing the east with a screen because it is believed that spirits travel straight and cannot go through screen.

I decided it was probably my New York accent _____26_____ him. “Estoy caliente!” I said again, this time in _____27_____ I thought was a more local-sounding _____28_____. He looked even more horrified-slashed-confused.

Suddenly, the one native Spanish speaker in the car spoke up from the back: “Umm, I’m _____29_____ you’re not meaning to tell the driver you’re too excited, right?”

Apparently, the way I was saying “I’m hot” _____30_____ translated to, well, another meaning of the phrase. As I turned bright red, I decided I didn’t really need the window open and would just sit _____31_____ and try to disappear by _____32_____ in the car seat.

47. 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。

It was during the summer of 2010 when I finally got over my fear of waterslides (水滑道)

As we stood in line to get our bags checked, I looked at the rides and started to get nervous. I walked up to the long white table and handed my bag to the lady on the other side. She looked at me suspiciously in the eye, opened up my bag, peeked inside, and then handed it back aggressively. As I walked through the big metal gates, I looked up at all of the rides. My heart skipped a beat when I saw all of the twists and turns of each ride.

I got with my group and we jumped into the Lazy River. As I got myself caught up with my friends, Counselor Thomas called our group out. We all discussed about which ride we would like to go on first. I nervously sat down and listened, not quite ready to go onto any of the rides just yet. They finally decided to go on the Storm Rider.

Nia, wearing her green T-shirt, skipped up to me. “Hey! Want to go on the ride with me?” she asked excitedly. “Umm”, I hesitated and thought, “What if they make fun of me for being scared of rides?” “Sure, why not!” I blurted out. “OK!” Nia exclaimed, “Charlie and Kevin! Grab a float please!” The two boys fished out a big rubber float (橡皮浮圈) and started pulling it up the stairs forcibly. Nia and I followed along. As we waited in line, I listened to the people on all of the other rides scream.

We climbed all the way to the top of the steps. I looked down at the yellow and blue frightening ride and panicked a little when I saw the steepness of the drop. Then we listened to the lifeguard for the safety rules. The more he talked, the more nervous I got. I gripped onto the rubber handles on the seat. All of a sudden I heard the lifeguard ask, “Are you all ready?” Charlie, Nia, and Kevin all exclaimed, “Yeah!” I held on tight and braced myself for what’s about to happen.

注意：

1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右；

2.至少使用5个短文中标有下划线的关键词语；

3.续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好；

4.续写完成后，请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。

Paragraph 1:

Right as the lifeguard was about to push us down the ride, I closed my eyes.

Paragraph 2:

We finally got flushed out of the tube and into the circular bowl.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

【答案】One possible version:

Right as the lifeguard was about to push us down the ride, I closed my eyes. After a sudden moment of weightlessness, I opened my eyes and down we went. “AHHH!”, I yelled, frightened about how fast we were going down the huge drop. Nia, not having a tendency of screaming, laughed the whole way down. “Eep! Eep!” Charlie exclaimed, screaming his head off like a little girl. Kevin also screamed “Ahhh!” all the way. The green shirts on us were wet through from the water, peeling off our skin and filling up with air like green balloons. So funny did we all look that I couldn’t help laughing.

We finally got flushed out of the tube and into the circular bowl. We all ended up laughing as we spun around the bowl, salty tasting water splashing in our faces. We went around the bowl a few more times before we dropped down a little dip and got thrown into the Lazy River. That was the day I got over my fear of water rides. I had thought the ride was going to be scary, but it ended up being great fun and we all went on again. I got to enjoy the rest of my day because I wasn’t scared anymore. I felt proud of myself that day. I am now really happy that I went on the ride.
