The 19-year-old developed a free service that allows users to ask any kind of legal question and receive relevant answers.Browder first started the project last summer as a free website to help people appeal(申诉) unfair parking tickets. He came up with the idea after getting a series of tickets himself for “unimportant reasons”. Having wasted several hours on writing appeals to these tickets, he realized that many people do not have the time, legal knowledge or even the energy to appeal. So he decided to create an automatic appeal generator(发生器). He named the service DoNotPay, given that the legal fees involved in challenging tickets could mount up to sizable amounts between $400 to $900. DoNotPay was a huge success, and the tech genius has now gone a step further with the website.Browder received good advice from his professors at Stanford University, where he is now a freshman. “At first, I thought the best way to go about it was to create lots of rules for it to follow,” he explained. “However, I quickly failed because there are thousands of ways to say the same thing and it would be impossible to catch every one. The breakthrough came when I learned how to create a way for the robot to learn and compare phrases itself, so that it doesnt matter how the user phrases his or her requests.” “I think it does a reasonable job of replacing parking lawyers,” Browder told Tech Insider. “I know there are thousands of programmers with more experience than me working on similar issues. If it is one day possible for any citizen to get the same standard of legal representation as a billionaire, how can that not be a good thing?”24. Where did Browder first start the project?A. On a websiteB. On campus C. In his office D. At home25. What does the underlined word “mount” in Paragrph2 mean? A. Save B. Spare C. Lose D. Increase26. What happened when Browder studied at Stanford University? A. He showed little interest in studies. B. Few professors recognized his skills. C. His professors assisted him greatly. D. He was all occupied in robot research.27. What is Browders attitude to the worlds first robot lawyer? A. Proud B. Cautious C. Unclear D. NegativeCIts a clich (陈词滥调) of modern tourism that no matter which hotel you plan to stay at, someone will have described it as the worst they have ever visited, from which they are still suffering stress. This is also why you shouldnt use Google to diagnose (诊断) that pain in your stomach: some sites will convince you its fatal disease.Except, once again, its not really a matter of “whether”. Now that the barrier to broadcasting your opinion is so low, you will find a seemingly authoritative person expressing his or her view, along with its opposite or everything in between. So you are supposed to find the view given by an authority to convince.This situation in which you know you will find alarming information, if you go looking-adds an interesting twist to a phenomenon psychologists have described for years “deliberate ignorance”. Deliberate ignorance helps explain why people dont go to the doctor or check their bank balance, even though theyd be better off long term; in the short term, its more comfortable to stay in the dark. Its also why people avoid news sources that challenge their most cherished positions. “We want to think of ourselves as healthy and smart people who make good decisions,” one researcher told The Wall Street Journal recently. At root, its all about wanting the feeling of control. In studies, when you actively remind people of all the controls they have over their lives, they are far more willing to risk discovering unsettling information.The difference, these days, is that in many cases unsettling information isnt just possible, its guaranteed. Online, if you seek evidence that your travel plans are stupid, you will definitely succeed. You stop desiring so much for the support of some external (外部的) authority, because you know theres someone supporting every viewpoint under the sun. So you stop panicking about the pain, and either go to the doctor or dont.Indeed, this effect applies in any situation where you are afraid of what the rest of the world might think about your choices. You can stop worrying that other people might be judging you severely, because I promise you: they definitely are. 28. Whats the tourists response to the hotels they stayed at?A. Satisfied B. Complaining C. Indifferent D. Appreciative29. Why should we find the view given by an authority? A. There are different kinds of views on the Internet. B. The barrier to broadcasting ones opinion is so low. C. An authority can give you a completely right opinion.D. They can provide everything that you want to know.30. Why do people adopt “deliberate ignorance”?A. It avoids suffering psychological illnesses. B. It discovers more challenging information. C. It makes us in a good state to make decisions. D. It helps to get rid of the embarrassment.31. How can we avoid suffering painful stress?A. By lowering our expectations. B. By discovering the difference.C. By seeking external authority. D. By comparing different views.DFood is really good, and enjoying eating is a huge part of living to the fullest. Throughout most of the cultures of the world, eating plays a huge role not only for survival. Food is important for socializing, satisfaction, exploring experiences, and just overall well-being both of the body and mind.However, the problems begin when food becomes a source of comfort during times of stress or pain, and even boredom. Sometimes, especially when individuals are going through a difficult time, their relationship with food gets a bit out of hand and they begin to overeat. There may be seemingly few other sources of comfort in their lives, and food might also remind them of pleasant social times they had in the past.When we stop eating for hunger, it is difficult to know when its time to stop eating. This is because we are eating for mental pleasure, not physical or social need. Therefore, our bodies signals telling us that its full tend to go unnoticed and the emotional eating continues.Emotional eating is one of the most difficult things to overcome when you are trying to lose weight. It sometimes becomes a vicious cycle(恶性循环) where the emotional eater realizes they are gaining weight, but then cant stop their emotional eating. This causes more stress, and makes the cycle worse.Thats why its important to change our approach when it comes to emotional eating. Many emotional eaters go on diets in an attempt to shed the pounds, but it rarely works and crash diets are very harmful to your health.If we approach the problem as being an imbalanced lifestyle rather than just a case of overeating or weight loss, all the pieces fall into place. A healthy lifestyle implies the person has methods in place to effectively deal with their stress and pain, and that they have a good relationship with food and exercise.32. Whats the main idea of the first paragraph?A. The function of food. B. The effect of food.C. The value of food. D. The disadvantage of food.33. What can we tend to do every time we face difficulty?A. We usually lose weight. B. We seldom eat for comfort.C. We gain weight by overeating. D. We recall the happy time in the past.34. Which of the following is true?A. We become more healthy by emotional eating. B. When we stop eating for hunger, it is easy to know when its time to stop eating. C. Food is important in many aspects. D. Emotional eating is helpful for people to lose weight.35. Whats the authors advice on dealing with stress and pain？A. Enjoying a load of snacks. B. Going on a stricter diet.C. Changing emotional eating. D. Leading a healthy lifestyle.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。 Whenever you are using the computer, your eyes are hard at work36 At this distance, you shouldnt have to lean in to read whats on the screenPosition the screen at your eye level, with the top of the monitor itself level with your foreheadThis will keep you from having to lean your neck back or forward to see the monitor37They can help you raise the monitor a little higher by putting a few books under itThey can also raise the height of the chair or you can sit on a pillow or twoHere is a good piece of advice：38Even if you dont have to go to the bathroom, be sure to take breaksKids shouldnt sit at a computer for more than 30 minutes without a breakWhen its time for a break, start with the eyes39This can give your eyes a rest from all that focusing on the computer monitor40Try to move your musclesGo for a walk or dance in front of the mirrorDoctors advise only one or two hours of screen time per day, which includes TV, the computer and computer gamesMake computer time just one of the activities you do instead of the only thing you doYour body will thank you forever!ALeaning your neck back or forward too long will cause pain and damageBYour mom or dad can help you adjust it.CThen youll want to give your body a break, tooDFocus on something far away by looking out of a windowEBe kind to them by positioning the monitor 18 to 20 inches away from your faceFNever play computer games too long GDont get so involved in the computer that you forget to go to the bathroom第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分） 第一节.完形填空 （共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 One day, during the long summer holiday, Mrs Martins took Brendon and his younger brother Kim to the beach.
