Fr Cruz, wh grew up in Peru’s muntainus regin f Cuzc, fg represents a massive pprtunity. As a by, he had t hike fr mre than an hur every day acrss hills t cllect water frm the nearest surce. But ver time, he realized that during the rainy seasn, drplets f water wuld gather in the large leaves f banana trees. S ne day he and his father tried t build a canal system with the leaves t cllect water and it turned ut a success. But afterwards, he mved t Lima at the age f 25.
There, shcked by the water shrtages and expensive water supply that sme f the city’s prest residents were faced with, Cruz set up El Mvimient Peruans sin Agua in 2005. The idea was t deply the methd he learned in his hmetwn n a larger scale, which wuld prvide free, independently surced and easily accessible water t thse wh needed it mst. He began installing (安装) a traditinal fg catcher mdel develped in the 1980s.
At the highest pint f Ls Tres Miradres, there is a. curius set f large structures that resemble a fleet f ships in the sky. They are s-called “fg catchers”. Netted devices, made f high density Raschel plyethylene and spanning several meters wide, are lined up at the tp f a misty mund and linked by a netwrk f tubes that lead t strage cntainers. The 40 fg catchers there prvide enugh water fr 180 families, whether t bathe, clean, drink r t irrigate crps n small garden patches.
Supprters believe that fg catchers have the ptential t imprve water supply fr cmmunities arund the wrld amng the ever-challenging circumstances. German researcher Lummerich says, “They are cheap, easy t cnstruct. “In a wrld searching fr water supply systems, it is ne imprtant puzzle piece that can make an essential difference lcally.
Hwever, there are sme issues. Fr ne, fg catchers require space, which is nt always easy t cme by in cities, let alne urban slums. At the same time, fg catchers must be prperly cleaned and maintained t stay effective. Mst crucially, apprpriate climate cnditins are required. Fg isn’t everywhere.
24. What des the underlined wrd “deply” prbably mean in paragraph 2?
A. Emply.B. Adjust.C. Design.D. Study.
25. What des paragraph 3 mainly talk abut?
A. The reasn why. Cruz installed fg catchers.
B. The difficulties f cnstructing a canal system.
C. The installatin and benefits f fg catchers.
D. The inspiratin Cruz gained t build a canal system.
26. What is the biggest challenge assciated with the use f fg catchers?
A. High csts.B. Public ppsitin.
C. Space limitatin.D. Climate cnditins.
27. What’s the best title fr the text?
A. Urban Areas: A Struggle fr Sufficient Water
B. Innvative Water Cllectin Techniques in Peru
C. The Glbal Water Crisis and Pssible Slutins
D. Fg Catchers: A Lcal Slutin with Glbal Ptential

Cmputers are pretty gd at answering questins. Just ask Alexa, Amazn’s vice assistant, wh can tell yu the weather r directins. Cmputers are gd at spitting back facts, but haven’t shwn the same critical r creative thinking that humans have. That culd be changing, at least when it cmes t reading, because f advances in Al (artificial intelligence) .
Research teams at Micrsft and Chinese tech cmpany Alibaba reached what they described as a milestne (里程碑) earlier this January. Their Al systems utperfrmed the estimated human scre n a reading cmprehensin test.
The test was develped at Stanfrd University. It shwed that, in at least sme situatins, cmputers can beat humans at quickly “reading” hundreds f Wikipedia articles. AI machines culd cme up with accurate answers t questins abut warrir-king Genghis Khan, r the Apll space prgram.
The cmputers, hwever, als made mistakes that many peple wuldn’t have. Micrsft, fr instance, failed an easy ftball questin. The cmputer was asked which member f the Carlina Panthers ftball team intercepted (拦截) the mst passes in the 2015 seasn. The crrect answer was Kurt Cleman, nt Jsh Nrman. Any persn wh carefully read the Wikipedia passage wuld have discvered the right answer. Hwever, the cmputer made a mistake in the wrd “mst” and didn’t understand that seven is bigger than fur.
“We’re still a lng way frm cmputers being able t read and cmprehend general text in the same way that humans can,” Kevin Sctt, Micrsft’s head f technlgy, wrte. He praised the Al system fr passing the test, calling it a majr achievement by the cmpany’s researchers.
“It strikes me fr the kind f prblem that they’re slving that it’s nt pssible t d better than peple, because peple are defining what’s crrect,” Littman said. “The impressive thing here is that they met human perfrmance, nt that they’ve exceeded (超载) it.”
28. Why did the research team describe their wrk as a-milestne?
A. Because their cmputers shwed critical and creative thinking like humans.
B. Because their AI systems beat humans in reading cmprehensin.
C. Because their AI systems culd tell yu weather and directin.
D. Because their cmputers are gd at answering questins.
29. Which f the fllwing are TRUE accrding t paragraph 3?
A. Al machines culd prpse incrrect answers t Genghis Khan.
B. Smart AI machines were answering questins
C. AI machines did better than humans in reading.
D. AI machines can d everything that human can’t d.
30. What can be inferred frm paragraph 4?
A. AI still struggles with lgical reasning.
B. Cmputers ften mistake seven fr fur.
C. Cmputers seldm make stupid mistakes.
D. The Wikipedia passage was cntrversial.
31. What des the underlined wrd “met” in the last paragraph mean?
A. visited.B. cntacted.C. greeted.D. satisfied.
D
I have a friend wh bird watches. She feels cmfrtable whenever she’s ding it. If yu ask her why she likes it, she will say things like “Well, birds are the wrld’s mst magical creatures.” I have anther friend wh knits. She likes it because it’s satisfying, and has an astnishingly impressive impact n peple fr whm being able t knit glves is ut f reach.
As a term, “hbby” has always been f arguable meaning. Ask smene what they think a hbby is, and yu’ll get a dictinary definitin that they will have just lked up n their phnes and, then, a passinate speech n all f the activities that can under n circumstances be put int grups as hbbies by their wn highly unique and inflexible standards. Being nline is nt a hbby, apparently, nr is listening t music.
Hardly anyne knws what a hbby is, and this is particularly the case nw that s many f us are spending ur leisure time nline arguing abut these srts f basic definitins with peple, as the writer Max Read put it in an essay, “t whm the wrld has been created again every mrning, fr whm every settled argument f mdernity must be rewritten, but this time with their engagement.”
Even taking these difficulties int accunt, hwever, it seems bvius that birdwatching and knitting are classic hbbies. They are enjyable, invlve practice and reward effrt, and they are given immediate access t a grup with the same interests. They are the srts f hbbies advice clumnists (专栏作家) have in mind when peple write in. abut their imbalanced lives. It’s interesting, then, that nt ne f my tw clearly hbby-having friends wuld admit t the practice.
They wrried that their hbbies, which give them pleasure and keep them far frm their cmputers, made them seem like they had t much leisure time and t Lew inner resurces that wuld enable them t naturally avid bredm. They are fully paid-up members f sciety, with busy lives, fulfilling interpersnal relatinships and, again, hbbies that make them happy. It’s just that hbbies have an undeservedly bad reputatin, ne made wrse by the Internet, like everything else.
The birdwatcher said the prblem with having a hbby was that it made peple seem like they were cntributing and learning nthing. The knitter said that she persnally cnnected hbbies with having n friends and n idea f what nrmal peple d t have fun, Actually, they d nt want t be seen as mad peple wh intentinally get away frm the crrect curse.
Well, I enjy certain light peras. I play music fr my wn amusement. And yes, I am an rdinary student, and that is nt a sign f madness.
32. The authr mentins tw friends with different hbbies in Paragraph 1 mainly t ________.
A. explain the definitin f “hbby”
B. attract the readers’ attentin t hbbies
C. stress the imprtance f having a hbby
D. cmpare tw different types f hbbies
33. What des the authr mean by quting Max Read in Paragraph 3?
A. “Hbby”as a term can nly be defined withut the Internet.
B. Peple nline discuss the definitin f “hbby” t change lives.
C. Peple create a new wrld by expressing their ideas f hbbies nline.
D. It is hard fr nline peple t reach an agreement n the definitin f “hbby”.
34. What can be inferred frm the tw friends’ cncers abut their hbbies?
A. They are afraid f being seen as crazy peple.
B. They fear their hbbies are nt impressive enugh.
C. They find it necessary t share hbbies t balance their lives.
D. They refuse t share their feelings abut their hbbies with mad peple.
35. What des the authr intend t tell us in the last paragraph?
A. Hbbies are great fr peple’s mental health.
B. Different peple have their wn standards f hbbies.
C. It is reasnable and nrmal fr peple t have hbbies.
D. Peple wh suffer frm madness can als have hbbies.

Be patient
Patience is an imprtant active listening technique because it allws the ther persn t speak withut interruptin. Being patient invlves nt trying t fill perids f silence with yur wn thughts r stries. This als requires listening t understand, nt t respnd. 40 Als, dn’t change the subject t abruptly as this cnveys bredm and impatience.

And we tk the challenge very seriusly. S, axe in Gilbert’s hand, saw in mine, we set ut fr all the spts where we imagined we might find a magnificent fir (冷杉树).
We were yung, but we knew the rules. Trees culd nt be taken frm persnal land and nt near any rad. We started ut with the best f intentins. We were n Pine River Lane, and lking at the firs in the fields, but nne f them lked quite gd enugh. It was getting dark but we still had n luck. On the way hme, it was Gilbert wh stpped, grabbed my arm and said, “I see it!”
“Yu see what?” I said.
“Right there, lk. It’s perfect.”
And he was right. It was a yung tree, tw metres tall, standing alne. It was the classic Christmas tree. In all my years, I had never seen such a perfect ne.
Perfect except fr ne small prblem. The tree was pretty clse t the rad. Als, it was behind a fence, s the tree was in smene’s yard. And nt just any smene. It was in the yard f Timmy Green, my best friend. Hwever, the chances f ur finding anther ne like it were slim t nne.
“Yu stand guard, “Gilbert said. And with that, we were ver the fence and n ur bellies crawling tward the target. I lay in the snw and put the Greens’ huse under surveillance (监视). I was t whistle r cugh if I saw anyne cming.
Within a few minutes, it fell.
“Grab the end,” Gilbert said, and we lifted it ver the fence. Nw we were n the rad.

Fr Cruz, wh grew up in Peru’s muntainus regin f Cuzc, fg represents a massive pprtunity. As a by, he had t hike fr mre than an hur every day acrss hills t cllect water frm the nearest surce. But ver time, he realized that during the rainy seasn, drplets f water wuld gather in the large leaves f banana trees. S ne day he and his father tried t build a canal system with the leaves t cllect water and it turned ut a success. But afterwards, he mved t Lima at the age f 25.
There, shcked by the water shrtages and expensive water supply that sme f the city’s prest residents were faced with, Cruz set up El Mvimient Peruans sin Agua in 2005. The idea was t deply the methd he learned in his hmetwn n a larger scale, which wuld prvide free, independently surced and easily accessible water t thse wh needed it mst. He began installing (安装) a traditinal fg catcher mdel develped in the 1980s.
At the highest pint f Ls Tres Miradres, there is a. curius set f large structures that resemble a fleet f ships in the sky. They are s-called “fg catchers”. Netted devices, made f high density Raschel plyethylene and spanning several meters wide, are lined up at the tp f a misty mund and linked by a netwrk f tubes that lead t strage cntainers. The 40 fg catchers there prvide enugh water fr 180 families, whether t bathe, clean, drink r t irrigate crps n small garden patches.
Supprters believe that fg catchers have the ptential t imprve water supply fr cmmunities arund the wrld amng the ever-challenging circumstances. German researcher Lummerich says, “They are cheap, easy t cnstruct. “In a wrld searching fr water supply systems, it is ne imprtant puzzle piece that can make an essential difference lcally.
Hwever, there are sme issues. Fr ne, fg catchers require space, which is nt always easy t cme by in cities, let alne urban slums. At the same time, fg catchers must be prperly cleaned and maintained t stay effective. Mst crucially, apprpriate climate cnditins are required. Fg isn’t everywhere.
24. What des the underlined wrd “deply” prbably mean in paragraph 2?

Cmputers are pretty gd at answering questins. Just ask Alexa, Amazn’s vice assistant, wh can tell yu the weather r directins. Cmputers are gd at spitting back facts, but haven’t shwn the same critical r creative thinking that humans have. That culd be changing, at least when it cmes t reading, because f advances in Al (artificial intelligence) .
Research teams at Micrsft and Chinese tech cmpany Alibaba reached what they described as a milestne (里程碑) earlier this January. Their Al systems utperfrmed the estimated human scre n a reading cmprehensin test.
The test was develped at Stanfrd University. It shwed that, in at least sme situatins, cmputers can beat humans at quickly “reading” hundreds f Wikipedia articles. AI machines culd cme up with accurate answers t questins abut warrir-king Genghis Khan, r the Apll space prgram.
The cmputers, hwever, als made mistakes that many peple wuldn’t have. Micrsft, fr instance, failed an easy ftball questin. The cmputer was asked which member f the Carlina Panthers ftball team intercepted (拦截) the mst passes in the 2015 seasn. The crrect answer was Kurt Cleman, nt Jsh Nrman. Any persn wh carefully read the Wikipedia passage wuld have discvered the right answer. Hwever, the cmputer made a mistake in the wrd “mst” and didn’t understand that seven is bigger than fur.
“We’re still a lng way frm cmputers being able t read and cmprehend general text in the same way that humans can,” Kevin Sctt, Micrsft’s head f technlgy, wrte. He praised the Al system fr passing the test, calling it a majr achievement by the cmpany’s researchers.
“It strikes me fr the kind f prblem that they’re slving that it’s nt pssible t d better than peple, because peple are defining what’s crrect,” Littman said. “The impressive thing here is that they met human perfrmance, nt that they’ve exceeded (超载) it.”
28. Why did the research team describe their wrk as a-milestne?
A. Because their cmputers shwed critical and creative thinking like humans.
B. Because their AI systems beat humans in reading cmprehensin.
C. Because their AI systems culd tell yu weather and directin.
D. Because their cmputers are gd at answering questins.
29. Which f the fllwing are TRUE accrding t paragraph 3?
A. Al machines culd prpse incrrect answers t Genghis Khan.
B. Smart AI machines were answering questins
C. AI machines did better than humans in reading.
D. AI machines can d everything that human can’t d.
30. What can be inferred frm paragraph 4?
A. AI still struggles with lgical reasning.
B. Cmputers ften mistake seven fr fur.
C. Cmputers seldm make stupid mistakes.
D. The Wikipedia passage was cntrversial.
31. What des the underlined wrd “met” in the last paragraph mean?
A. visited.B. cntacted.C. greeted.D. satisfied.
D
I have a friend wh bird watches. She feels cmfrtable whenever she’s ding it. If yu ask her why she likes it, she will say things like “Well, birds are the wrld’s mst magical creatures.” I have anther friend wh knits. She likes it because it’s satisfying, and has an astnishingly impressive impact n peple fr whm being able t knit glves is ut f reach.
As a term, “hbby” has always been f arguable meaning. Ask smene what they think a hbby is, and yu’ll get a dictinary definitin that they will have just lked up n their phnes and, then, a passinate speech n all f the activities that can under n circumstances be put int grups as hbbies by their wn highly unique and inflexible standards. Being nline is nt a hbby, apparently, nr is listening t music.
Hardly anyne knws what a hbby is, and this is particularly the case nw that s many f us are spending ur leisure time nline arguing abut these srts f basic definitins with peple, as the writer Max Read put it in an essay, “t whm the wrld has been created again every mrning, fr whm every settled argument f mdernity must be rewritten, but this time with their engagement.”
Even taking these difficulties int accunt, hwever, it seems bvius that birdwatching and knitting are classic hbbies. They are enjyable, invlve practice and reward effrt, and they are given immediate access t a grup with the same interests. They are the srts f hbbies advice clumnists (专栏作家) have in mind when peple write in. abut their imbalanced lives. It’s interesting, then, that nt ne f my tw clearly hbby-having friends wuld admit t the practice.
They wrried that their hbbies, which give them pleasure and keep them far frm their cmputers, made them seem like they had t much leisure time and t Lew inner resurces that wuld enable them t naturally avid bredm. They are fully paid-up members f sciety, with busy lives, fulfilling interpersnal relatinships and, again, hbbies that make them happy. It’s just that hbbies have an undeservedly bad reputatin, ne made wrse by the Internet, like everything else.
The birdwatcher said the prblem with having a hbby was that it made peple seem like they were cntributing and learning nthing. The knitter said that she persnally cnnected hbbies with having n friends and n idea f what nrmal peple d t have fun, Actually, they d nt want t be seen as mad peple wh intentinally get away frm the crrect curse.
Well, I enjy certain light peras. I play music fr my wn amusement. And yes, I am an rdinary student, and that is nt a sign f madness.
32. The authr mentins tw friends with different hbbies in Paragraph 1 mainly t ________.
A. explain the definitin f “hbby”
B. attract the readers’ attentin t hbbies
C. stress the imprtance f having a hbby
D. cmpare tw different types f hbbies
33. What des the authr mean by quting Max Read in Paragraph 3?
A. “Hbby”as a term can nly be defined withut the Internet.
B. Peple nline discuss the definitin f “hbby” t change lives.
C. Peple create a new wrld by expressing their ideas f hbbies nline.
D. It is hard fr nline peple t reach an agreement n the definitin f “hbby”.
34. What can be inferred frm the tw friends’ cncers abut their hbbies?
A. They are afraid f being seen as crazy peple.
B. They fear their hbbies are nt impressive enugh.
C. They find it necessary t share hbbies t balance their lives.
D. They refuse t share their feelings abut their hbbies with mad peple.
35. What des the authr intend t tell us in the last paragraph?
A. Hbbies are great fr peple’s mental health.
B. Different peple have their wn standards f hbbies.
C. It is reasnable and nrmal fr peple t have hbbies.
D. Peple wh suffer frm madness can als have hbbies.

And we tk the challenge very seriusly. S, axe in Gilbert’s hand, saw in mine, we set ut fr all the spts where we imagined we might find a magnificent fir (冷杉树).
We were yung, but we knew the rules. Trees culd nt be taken frm persnal land and nt near any rad. We started ut with the best f intentins. We were n Pine River Lane, and lking at the firs in the fields, but nne f them lked quite gd enugh. It was getting dark but we still had n luck. On the way hme, it was Gilbert wh stpped, grabbed my arm and said, “I see it!”
“Yu see what?” I said.
“Right there, lk. It’s perfect.”
And he was right. It was a yung tree, tw metres tall, standing alne. It was the classic Christmas tree. In all my years, I had never seen such a perfect ne.
Perfect except fr ne small prblem. The tree was pretty clse t the rad. Als, it was behind a fence, s the tree was in smene’s yard. And nt just any smene. It was in the yard f Timmy Green, my best friend. Hwever, the chances f ur finding anther ne like it were slim t nne.
“Yu stand guard, “Gilbert said. And with that, we were ver the fence and n ur bellies crawling tward the target. I lay in the snw and put the Greens’ huse under surveillance (监视). I was t whistle r cugh if I saw anyne cming.
Within a few minutes, it fell.
“Grab the end,” Gilbert said, and we lifted it ver the fence. Nw we were n the rad.
