About a month after the move , Judy fell ill, suffering from her ongoing battle against Parkinsons disease.Her condition worsened rapidly and she required medical care at home. The family hired a nursing aid who canceled at the last minute. Instead , a woman named TunDe Hector showed up in her place.One day, TunDe shared a story with Judy and her family. She remembered a particularly difficult day in 2014, when a stranger had helped her with a kind gesture. She had run out of gas, and with only$5 in her pocket ,was walking to a gas station, gas can in hand. A man saw her walking and turned his car around. He paid for her gas and gave her all the cash left in his wallet. Upon hearing the story , Judys son, Chris, took off his hat and said ,That was me!” He was the stranger that had helped TunDe on that difficult day.During the care of Judy, the Wright family learned about TunDes family and her own dream. The nursing aid, TunDe hoped that one day she could become an OB-GYN nurse.Her tuition was past due(逾期) and she had a family to care for, but she was determined to achieve that goal for herself and her family.Judy died on July 9,2017. Instead of flowers, her family asked mourners(悼念者) to donate to TunDes education , to assist her in paying for her nursing school. In less than a week, they raised more than $8,000 and presented her with the surprise check.24Why did Judys family choose TunDe in the end?ATo help her with a kind gesture .BTo give Judy the best medical careCTo look after Judy in the hospitalDTo replace another nursing aid.25How might Chris feel when hearing TunDes story?AShockedBThrilledCPuzzledDDelighted26How did the Wright family help TunDe after Judys death?AThey paid for her educationBThey helped care for her familyCThey helped her realize her dream.DThey bought her a surprise present27What does the whole story mainly tell us ?AKindness comes full circleBActions speak louder than words.CThe truth never fears investigationDConstant dropping wears stone. CDreams can be familiar and strange, fantastical or boring, but some dreams might be connected to the mental processes that help us learn. In a recent study, scientists found a connection between nap-time dreams and better memory in people who were learning a new skill.In the study, 99 college students between the ages of 18 and 30 each spent an hour on a computer, trying to get through a virtual maze(迷宫).The maze was a different place each time they tiredmaking it even more difficult. They were also told to find a particular picture of a tree and remember where it was.For the first 90 minutes of a five-hour break, half of the participants stayed awake and an half were told to take a short nap . Participants who stayed awake were asked to describe their thoughts. Participants who took a nap were asked about their dreams after sleepingand they were awakened within a minute of sleeping to describe their dreams. Stickgold, a neuroscientist(神经科学家),wanted to know what people were dreaming about when their eyes werent moving during sleep.Four of the 50 people who slept said their dreams were connected to the maze. Some dreamed about the music that had been playing when they were working ; Others said they dreamed about seeing people in the maze. When these four people tried the computer maze again, they were able to find the tree faster than before their naps.Stickgold suggests the dream itself doesnt help a person learnits the other way around.He suspects that the dream was caused by the brain processes associated with learning.All four of the people who dreamed about the task had done poorly the first time, which makes Stickgold wonder if the dreams show up when a person finds a new task particularly difficult. People who had other dreams, or people who didnt take a nap, didnt show the same improvement.28After having a short nap, participants of the experiment were asked to_.Astay in a different place in the mazeBtry to remember something about their dreamsCdesign a virtual maze which is difficult to get throughDget through a virtual maze on a computer from the same place29What can we learn from the text?AParticipants who took a nap were required to express their thoughts.BSome dreams may encourage people to invent something new.CParticipants who dreamed about films could finish the task more easily.DParticipants whose dreams had something to do with the maze could find the tree faster. 30According to Stickgold, _.Aevery person may dream about what they learnedBonce peoples eyes stop moving, they are sure to dream about somethingCpeoples brain processes may still be connected with their learning in their dreamsDno matter how fantastical or boring, dreams are connected with peoples life31What is the best title for this text?ADreams Are Strange.BNot All Dreams Are True.CStickgold, a Dream Expert.DDreaming Makes Perfect. DGoogles new camera, called Clips, is a small, smart device. It comes with a case that has a clip (夹子)，but its not designed to be worn on your clothing. Most interestingly, it uses artificial intelligence to take photography out of your hands so it can capture moments on its own.This roughly 2-inch by 2-inch camera, with a three-hour battery life and Gorilla Glass for toughness, is intended for candid moments, like when a child does something cute that may happen too quickly for you to pull out your smartphone.Onboard the Clips device, it uses machine learning algorithms (计算程序) to help capture scenes. Those algorithms include face recognition. “Once it learns that theres a face you see frequently, itll try to get nice photos of those faces,” said Juston Payne, the devices product manager. And they also want it to recognize facial expressions, which involved “training it to know what happiness looks like”. The Google team also trained it to recognize what not to shoot like when a childs hand is over the lens, or if it is tossed in a dark purse.The only way to see the images is by connecting the camera with your phone, as it has no screen for viewing or editing.Were people concerned it could seem strange? Yes, Payne admitted. But they said they addressed that by making it obvious what it is. A green light on the front signals that it is on. Besides, unlike a camera meant to monitor your home, it is not connected to the Internet.“This product is only possible because of the way that silicon has advanced” Payne said, noting that it was only in the past year or so that they could squeeze the technology down into a device this size. Going forward, were likely to get more assistance from the artificial intelligence packed into our apps and gadgets.32What is the most outstanding feature of Clips?AIt is equipped with tough glass.BIt enables easy internet access.CIt allows of hands-free photography.DIt can be worn on your clothing.33What does the underlined word “candid”, in Paragraph 2 mean?Abrief Btouching.Cunforgettable. Dembarrassing.34What makes Clips a reality according to Juston Payne?AThe popularity of the Internet.BThe advance in technology.CThe rise of the smartphone industry.DThe reduction in the price of lens.35What is the best title for the text?AA New Digital Camera from Google.BNew Gadgets in the Age of Apps.CArtificial Intelligence in Everyday Life.DAn Alternative Way to Photograph.第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 You forgot to set your wake-up alarm.
