第二部分英语知识运用（每小题2分，满分40分）

第一节阅读理解

A

Traveling can be a fun way to gain life experiences, especially during Spring Break — a week-long school vacation in the United States. But what if you're a student and don't have enough money for a trip? Don't worry. Here are some useful suggestions．

●Save: This probably is the most important preparation for traveling. Cut expenses to fatten your wallet so you'll have more choices about where to go and how to get

there．

●Plan ahead: Don't wait until the last minute to plan your trip. Tickets may cost more when bought on short notice. Giving yourself several months to get ready can mean security and savings．

●Do y our homework: No matter where you go, research the places you will visit. Decide what to see. Travel books will provide information on the cheapest hotels and restaurants．

●Plan sensibly: Write down how much you expect to spend for food and hotels. Stick to your plan or you may not have enough money to cover everything．

●Travel in groups: Find someone who is interested in visiting the same places. By traveling with others you can share costs and experiences．

●Work as you go: Need more money to support yo ur trip? Look for work in the places you visit．

●Go off the beaten path: Tourist sites may be expensive. You may want to rethink your trip and go to a less-known area. Smaller towns can have many interesting activities and sights．

●Pack necessary things: The most important things to take are not always clothes．Remember medicine in case you get sick, and snacks in case you cannot find a cheap restaurant．

●Use the Internet: The net can help to save money. Some useful websites include https://www.wendangku.net/doc/3a13127687.html,,https://www.wendangku.net/doc/3a13127687.html, and www. https://www.wendangku.net/doc/3a13127687.html,．

Not being the best but touching the limits of your ability. This belief came from my third grade teacher, the most trusted and loved person in my life.

Mr. Myrus was always perfectly dressed and spoke with the conviction (确信) that talking to small kids didn’t mean that he had to sacrifice proper pronunciation or grammar. And he was demanding. Oh, he wasn’t unreasonable or cruel; he simply felt that no matter what your best was, you should achieve it.

As luck would have it, I met him again as my eighth grade math teacher. I was not, nor ever will be, gifted in math. And thirteen-year-old girls do not have the energy to devote to something like square roots (平方根). I remember our struggles, “I don’t know the answer. I can’t do it.!” “Perhaps you don’t know the answer,” he would say quietly. “Do you think we might figure it out together? How do you know what you can do until you try?”

Mr. Myrus lived around the corner, and I would often stop by to talk while he worked in his wood shop. In this room of sawdust, wood chips, and the smoke from the woodburning stove, I felt respected and valued as a person. I knew there was someone who liked me for who I was, someone who, while he always wanted me to do my best, let me know that if I had really tried, that was enough.

Mr. Myrus was my teacher and my friend. He taught me to be kind. He taught me my own value. He taught me about honor, about truth, and about doing my best—and that all feelings and beliefs have dignity and deserve respect. And of all the things I know, this I believe: We can’t all be “the” best, but we can, each of us, be our best, and I know that’s true because Mr. Myrus told me.

24. When did Mr.Myrus first become the author’s teacher?

A. When she was eight years old.

B. When she was in the fifth grade.

C. When she was thirteen years old.

D. When she was in the eighth grade.

25. How did the author feel when she began studying math at thirteen?

A. She was devoted to math.

B. Math was difficult to learn.

C. She could improve her math soon.

D. The math teacher was unreasonable.

26. Why did the author often visit Mr. Myrus wood shop?

A. She could reach the limits of her ability.

B. She could help Mr. Myrus with his work.

C. She could get a sense of self-respect there.

D. She could get help for her study problems.

27. Which of the following may Mr. Myrus agree with?

A. Result always matters most.

B. Everyone is equally talented.

C. Whatever you do, spare no effort.

D. When talking to kids, speak in their way.

Who is smarter? A human being or artificial intelligence(人工智能)?

The question swept the world last week when a Google-developed program called AlphaGo defeated the world top player, South Korean Lee Se-del, 4-1.

So, what comes next?

Some people have been arguing that artificial intelligence, or AI in short, will be a bad thing for humans. In an interview with the BBC in 2014, UK scientist Stephen Hawking warned that “the development of full artificial intelligence could mean the end of the human race.”

So are we really about to live in the world shown in the Terminator movies?

“Not quite,” answered The Economist. After all, it’s not hard to get a computer program to remember and produce facts. What is hard is getting computers to use their knowledge in everyday situations.

“We think that, for the human being, things like sight and balance（视觉平衡）, are natural and ordinary in our life.” Thoma s Edison, founder of Motion Figures, a company that is bringing AI to boys, told the newspaper. “But for a robot, to walk up and down just like human beings requires various decisions to be made every second, and it’s really difficult to do.”

As The Economist put it, “We have a long way to go before AI can truly begin to be similar to the human brain, even though the technology can be great.”
