24、Billy’s favorite color is orange. But he can’t see what orange looks like. Billy is blind.
A month after he was born, his mother noticed that his eyes weren’t quite as big as a normal baby’s. “Billy would never be able to see.” the doctor told his mother. After that Billy’s mother began talking to him, describing things she saw outside the window. She described everything to him.
Billy does not only depend on his mother’s descriptions to learn about the world around him. He sees with his cars and his hands, too. He has perfect hearing. When people make phone calls, he can tell the numbers they dial(拨).
Billy loves computer science. He began teaching himself computer programming when he was just seven years old. His dream school would be Stanford University. He gets top grades in his classes, making that a real possibility.
“You can’t let excuses get in the way of your dreams, and if you do that you can’t move forward and reach your goals, “said Billy.

25、 Do you think robots could pass an eighth-grade test? Guess what—they can.
The artificial intelligence (AI) system Aristo recently passed the same eighth-grade science test that some US students take. The New York Times reported. Aristo correctly(正确地) answered 90 percent of the questions on the test.
This is an example of the progress that is being made in AI development. Four years ago, 700 computer scientists tried to develop AI systems that could pass these kinds of exams. None scored higher than 60 percent.
Scientists at the Allen Institute in the US developed the system. Aristo was able to pass the exam because it can not only understand language, but also use logical thinking(逻辑思维)to solve difficult problems. For example, it can understand what a forest fire is and how it could affect(影响) animals.
The system used BERT, a kind of neural(神经的) network technology developed by Google, to answer the questions. BERT has "read" thousands of articles and can understand English. If it looks at a sentence with a missing word, it can correctly guess what the word is. With BERT's help, Aristo "read" many multiple-choice(多选的) questions. Over time, it was able to find logical patterns(逻辑模式).
Aristo’s success means that we might see new AI-based products(人工智能产品), such as search engines(搜索引擎) and databases(数据库) for hospitals. AI systems might be able to better understand users in the future.
【1】What did the AI system Aristo do?
A.Help students study. B.Pass a school test.
C.Talk like a human does. D.Develop other AI systems.
【2】What was Aristo's biggest success?
A.It passed several kinds of tests. B.It passed the test with a full score.
C.It scored 90 percent on the test. D.It worked out a set of test questions.
【3】How did Aristo answer questions in the test?
A.By using BERT. B.By asking Google for help.
C.By working with scientists. D.By copying the students' answers.
【4】Paragraph 5 is written to________.
A.explain how Aristo worked B.show what else Aristo can do
C.show how Aristo was created D.describe another AI breakthrough
【5】From the story, we can learn that________.
A.AI-based products are not useful B.AI systems might be used in many fields
C.robots can't think logically D.Aristo will be used to help teach students
26、
Leonardo da Vinci, the famous Italian painter, spent about 15 years completing the Mona Lisa. He said it was one of his favourite paintings. It was so precious(珍贵的) to him that he kept it for himself until he died in 1519.
Leonardo da Vinci never revealed who was the model of the painting. Since his death, many people have tried to find out, and some people even suggest it is a self-portrait(自画像) of Leonardo da Vinci. One thing most Mona Lisa fans agree on is that it is her mysterious smile that makes the painting so special.
Who is the real Mona Lisa? It’s a question that has puzzled historians for centuries, and now historians think they may actually be a step closer to solving the mystery or one of the world’s most famous paintings. A group of experts have opened a tomb in the Italian city of Florence in the hope of finding some DNA samples(样本) which they think may hold the clue they need. The tomb is thought to contain the family of a woman called Lisa Gherardini. Historians think Lisa is buried in the nearby convent of Saint Ursula, where records show she died in 1542. They have recovered(复原) the bodies of three women from the convent, but they have been unable to make sure which body is Lisa’s.
【1】When did Leonardo da Vinci die?
A.In 1514.
B.In 1519.
C.In 1520.
D.In 1542.
【2】What makes the painting Mona Lisa so special?

B.They have found some DNA samples from a tomb.
C.They have recovered the body of Mona Lisa.
D.They’ve opened a tomb in Florence to find some DNA samples.
【4】The underlined word “clue” means “________” in Chinese.

27、Nearly half of elementary and high schools in the US use the Presidential Fitness Test. It checks kids’ fitness levels. Students are tested at least twice a year. In 1956, US President Eisenhower created the test, and it has been a tradition in schools since 1966.
There are five activities in the test: sit-ups(仰卧起坐), push-ups(俯卧撑), sit and reach, endurance run or walk and shuttle run(折返跑). Students who get scores at or above 85 percent on all the activities can get a Presidential Physical Fitness Award.
The test encourages students to live a healthy and active life. Students taking the test are really testing their limits, according to the US National Association for Sport and Physical Education.
China has a similar test: the physical education(PE) test. Beginning at the age of 7, students in China are tested twice a year to check if they are healthy and strong. They also finish activities like the endurance run, sit-ups and the shuttle run.
However, unlike students in the US who get awards, Chinese students get points in PE tests. The highest score is 100. For junior school students, the PE test is more important because it is worth 30 to 40 points in the entrance exam for senior high school. In order to get a good score, most students begin to prepare for the test in their junior one year.
【1】How many years has the Presidential Fitness Test been a tradition in schools?
A. About 50 years. B. About 40 years
C. About 30 years. D. About 60 years.
【2】Who can get a Presidential Physical Fitness Award?
A. Students who finish all the activities.
B. Students who finish first on the test.
C. Students who make the greatest progress in the test.
D. Students who get scores of 85 percent or above on all the activities.
【3】The Chinese PE tests and the American Presidential Fitness tests are similar in __________.
A. Students are tested twice a year.
B. Students get awards.
C. Students must finish push-ups.
D. Students get scores.
【4】What’s the purpose of the test?
A. To encourage students to get good scores.
B. To help students prepare for college entrance exams.
C. To encourage students to live happily and actively.
D. To help students learn how to overcome difficulties.

One evening after dinner, Mr. and Mrs. Thatcher called a family meeting. “We’ve got something important to tell you.” Mr. Thatcher said. “You see, your mother has been offered a job as co-director of a television station in a big city.

The Thatchers hoped that by the time they moved in August, Kenny would get more used to the i______ of leaving. However, he showed no signs of a______ the news and didn’t want to pack his belongings.
When the morning of the move arrived, Kenny was nowhere to be found. His parents called Tony Strong’s house, but Mrs. Strong said she hadn’t seen Kenny.
Actually Kenny had started walking over to Tony Strong’s house. There was an empty room in the Strongs’ house. Kenny thought maybe he could h______ there for a few days. If his family couldn’t find him, they would have to move without him. Then he could still stay with his friends.
But something happened on the way as Kenny walked past all the f______ places of the neighbourhood: the fence that he and his mother painted, the tree that he and his sister used to climb, the park where he and his father took evening walks together. How much would these mean without his family? Kenny didn’t take the time to answer that question but hurried back to his house i______. He wondered if there were any moving boxes of the right size to hold his record collection.
