He pulled the eggs ut and placed them in a bwl. Then he ladled the cffee ut and placed it in a mug. Turning t her, he asked, “Darling, what d yu see?”
“Carrts, eggs, and cffee,” she replied.
He brught her clser and asked her t feel the carrts. She did and nted that they were sft. He then asked her t take an egg and break it. After pulling ff the shell, she bserved the hard-biled egg. Finally, he asked her t sip the cffee. She smiled, as she tasted its rich arma.
“What des it mean, father?” she humbly asked.
He explained that each f them had faced the same adversity, biling water, but each reacted differently. The carrt went in strng, hard, and unrelenting; but after being subjected t the biling water, it became sftened and weak. The egg had been fragile; its thin uter shell had prtected its liquid interir; but after sitting thrugh the biling water, its inside became hardened.

When driving, Clara -Marina Martinez makes a nte f any unusual behaviur she sees n the rad. She then feeds these int machine-learning algrithms (算法), a frm f AI, which she is helping develp fr Prsche Engineering.
Thse algrithms are intended t prduce a system reliable enugh fr a car t drive itself. Such a fully autnmus car, knwn in the industry as Level 5, shuld be able t cmplete an entire jurney withut any interventin (介入) frm the driver, and deal with all situatins n the rad. But this is prving hard t achieve, and many attempts t d s are being abandned. Last year, fr instance, Uber sld ff its unit develping self-driving cars.
Autnmus vehicles are said t be nt just cnvenient but ptentially safer. Hwever, just as peple take time t learn hw t drive safely, s d machines. And machines are nt quick learners. The RAND Crpratin calculates that t develp a system 20% safer than a human driver, 100self-driving cars wuld have t perate 24 hurs a day, 365 days a year.
Carmakers such as Prsche therefre speed up the develpment prcess using simulatrs(模拟器). These teach sftware abut dangers rarely encuntered in reality. Dr Martinez and her clleagues emply “game engines” t d this. These are used t create virtual wrlds thrugh which the sftware can drive. Objects in these virtual wrlds are assigned their physical characteristics (ie, buildings are hard, peple are sft) s that the sensrs in vehicles respnd in the apprpriate way. Once the sftware has been trained, it is tested in real autnmus vehicles by re-creating thse situatins n a test track.
Hw quickly all this will translate int reality remains t be seen. Bth regulatrs and custmers will need t vercme the dubt that a sftware driver really can be safer than a human being.
Frm Prsche’s pint f view, thugh, there is anther questin. Given that much f the reasn wning a sprts car is fr wners t shw ff their driving skills, just hw big a market will there be fr a versin where sftware takes thse bragging (炫耀的) rights away?
28. Why des Clara-Marina Martinez nte the unusual behaviur n the rad?
A. T market Prsche cars.
B. T imprve an AI technlgy.
C. T learn t be a respnsible driver.
D. T enjy riding in a self-driving car.
29. The prblem with self-driving cars is that .
A. They learn as slwly as human beings
B. They perate fr a very shrt perid f time
C. They have t be mnitred by human drivers
D. They need a lng time t reach a certain safety level
30. What des the underlined wrd “this” in paragraph 4 refer t?
A. Emplying simulatrs n a test track.
B. Speeding the develpment f prcess.
C. Figuring ut the physical rad dangers.
D. Separating the real wrld frm the virtual wrld.
31. What wrries Prsche accrding t the last paragraph?
A. The reliability f car sftware.
B. The future f the sprts car market.
C. The driving skills f human beings.
D. The quality f self-driving cars in the future.

Studies have shwn the mere expsure effect, als referred t as the familiarity principle, inspires ur decisins. It is a helpful psychlgical mechanism that helps us sustain ur energy and fcus ur attentin n ther things. Getting used t new things takes effrt and it can be tiring. S unless we have a terrible experience, we are likely t buy frm cmpanies we’ve gt used t. That is why cmpanies spend s much mney n advertising and marketing and why insurance (保险)cmpanies penly charge existing custmers mre than new nes.
It’s nt the case that we nly desire things we already knw. Sme studies suggest when invited t share ur preferences, we smetimes see less familiar ptins as mre desirable. But when acting n that preference, we fall back t what we knw. This might explain why smetimes the things we want and the things we d dn’t quite match up. We might even return t cmpanies that treated us prly in the past r stay in bad relatinships.
It’s easy t paint the familiarity principle as an enemy r smething t battle as if it is smething that hlds us back frm living ur dreams. But this attitude might be verwhelming because it tends t encurage us tward big-picture thinking. Where we imagine that change requires a quite dramatic swing that we dn’t feel ready fr. Sme articles suggest the slutin t familiarity frustratin (沮丧) is cmplete expsure t nvelty. While this can appear effective in the shrt term, we may nly end up replacing ne prblem with anther. It als risks verwhelm and burnut.
S what if we can wrk with the familiarity principle instead? Familiarity is smething we can learn t play with and enjy. It is a setting fr creativity and a pathway t expansin. We can braden the zne f familiarity bit by bit. If we think f familiarity as smething that can expand, we can cnsider changing the cnditins in and arund ur lives t make mre space fr ur preferences t take rt and grw gently. Frm here, we will start t make decisins, drawing frm an ever-deepening pl f valuable ptins.
32. What allws insurance cmpanies t charge ld custmers mre?
A. The advertising cst.B. The imprved service.
C. The familiarity principle.D. The principle f the market.
33. We can learn frm paragraph 2 that .
A. Our preferences affect ur decisins
B. Familiarity tends t generate disrespect
C. The familiarity principle is a duble-edged swrd
D. There can be a mismatch between desires and actins
34. What is the authr’s attitude twards the slutin in sme articles?
A. Disapprving.B. Tlerant.C. Objective.D. Reserved.
35. Which f the fllwing is the best title fr the text?
A. Step Out f Yur Familiarity Zne
B. Spare a Thught fr Yur Preference
C. Gently Expand Yur Familiarity Zne
D. Give Pririty t the Mere Expsure Effect

Essential Creativity
In a recent survey in America, 62% f peple said that creativity was mre imprtant t success in the wrkplace than they had expected it t be when they were in schl.
36 It is f curse pssible t scan peple’s brains and see which parts are firing when an idea is created, but rather mre rmantically it can be thught f as smething that cannt be identified. Creativity is what cmes t yu when yu least expect it. Yu cannt demand creativity frm yur mind, nr can yu demand that yu are creative in a particular way.
One miscnceptin abut creativity is that it is reserved fr a few special peple. This is nt true. 37 Anther miscnceptin is that creativity is all abut the arts but this simply isn’t true. 38
It is incredibly imprtant that schls d nt prevent creativity. 39 Students shuld be taught t ask questins and investigate when things d nt make sense. They need t learn t view mistakes as pprtunities fr learning rather than smething that was unsuccessful. But nw it is wrrying that many schls are less cncerned with nurturing creativity. Hwever, withut creativity, we are indistinguishable frm the masses. 40 Meanwhile, we can als channel it t face the challenges f the future.
A. We can use it t set urselves apart.
B. It’s difficult t define what creativity is.
C. Everyne has the capacity t be creative.
D. We can emply creativity t deal with the wrld.
E. Rather, they shuld wrk t expand, grw, and exercise it.
F. It’s hard t wrk ut where exactly creativity cmes frm.
G. Creativity extends t maths and science in just the way it des t music and literature.

Atmic(原子的) shapes are s simple that they can’t be brken dwn any further. Mathematicians are trying t 41 artificial intelligence (AI) t build a “peridic table”(周期表) f these shapes.
Tm Cates at Imperial Cllege Lndn and his clleagues are wrking t classify (分类)atmic shapes 42 as Fan varieties, which are s simple that they can’t be brken dwn int smaller 43 .Just as chemists arranged elements in the peridic table by their atmic weight and grup t 44 new insights, the researchers hpe that rganizing these atmic shapes by their varius 45 will help in understanding them.
The team has assigned each atmic shape a sequence f numbers 46 its features such as the number f hles it has r the 47 t which it twists arund itself. This acts as a bar cde (条形码) t 48 it. Cates and his clleagues have nw created an AI that can predict certain prperties f these shapes frm their bar cde numbers alne, with an 49 f 98 percent.
The team member Alexander Kasprzyk, wh wrks at the University f Nttingham, UK, says that the AI has let the team rganize atmic shapes in a way that begins t 50 the peridic table. 51 when yu read frm left t right, r up and dwn, there seem t be rganized patterns in the gemetry (几何) f the shapes.
The team hpes t 52 the mdel t the pint where missing spaces in its peridic table culd pint t the existence f unknwn shapes, which culd 53 benefit further study.
Graham Nibl at the University f Suthamptn, UK, stresses that humans will still need t understand the results prvided by the AI and creates prfs f these ideas. “AI has 54 gt unbelievable abilities. But in the same way that telescpes(望远镜) dn’t put astrnmers ut f wrk, AI desn’t put mathematicians ut f wrk,” he says. “It just gives us new 55 that allws us t explre parts f the mathematical landscape that are ut f reach.”

67.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。
In high schl, I was a straight-A student, a member f many schl clubs, and a receiver f many rewards. Hwever, I had been subjected t(受到…折磨)peer pressure. Wanting t be “cl!”, I started ging t parties and drinking, drunk beynd recgnitin. My life tk a turn fr the wrse. Hwever, the experience in ne summer prgram taught me a lessn: never d smething yu believe is wrng just t gain the apprval f thers.
In June, I wrked part-time at a restaurant. The day befre I left fr the prgram, ne c-wrker ffered me his driver’s license, telling me t have fun in Quebec since we tw almst lked the same. I’d seen friends walk int liqur (酒) stres with fake licenses and cme ut carrying a twelve-pack f beer, smiling prudly. S I tk the license, but I prmised myself that I wuldn’t use it. Hwever, I easily gt carried away.
On the first night f the prgram, while walking arund, my new friends and I came acrss a liqur stre. Kai asked if anyne had a fake license. After everyne shk his head, I cleared my thrat and declared, “I d.” With everyne’s admiratin and Kai’s twenty dllars and instructin, I bldly agreed t take n the task withut thinking. I managed t buy a case f beer. The bys cheered and gave me pats n the back. “Yu’re the man,” smene said t me. The praise bsted my self-cnfidence.
The last night there was a party. A few f my friends insisted that we drink befre the dance. They asked me, the “ID man”, t buy alchl. T earn their admiratin, I tk the cash and bught what they wanted. Later that night, I was enjying myself when Kai said nervusly, “Cristian isn’t kay.” Wrried fr my friend, I went t check the situatin. Clearly, Cristian was verly drunk and almst uncnscius(无意识的).
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式作答。
Suddenly, smething went wrng: Cristian fell t the grund.

The next day, I was called t the prgram directr’s ffice.
