They just do what they believe needs to be done to make their world a better place. Bike Batman is one of them. Bike Batman is a 30-year-old married engineer who lives in Seattle, Washington. Hes a cyclist who also buys and sells bikes as a hobby.About three years ago, he was looking for a bike for his wife. He found one on Craigslist, a website where people list things they want to sell. As he often does, he also looked at Bike Index, a popular website that allows users to register their bikes and post reports when theyre taken. The bike, which he was considering purchasing, clearly matched one reported stolen on Bike Index. Then he called the person who claimed to be the bikes owner and arranged to meet him supposedly to plete the sale. When the two men met, Bike Batman told the thief, “Youve got two options. You can wait until a police officer gets here, or you can just get out of here.” You can imagine what the thief did. After that first success, Bike Batman developed a safer routine. When he sees questionable bike ads on Craigslist, he cross-references the image with bikes reported on Bike Index. Once he has confirmed it with the owner, he arranges a meet-up with the thief and will call the Seattle police department so that officers can participate in the action. In more than half of the 22 cases in which he has got back and returned bikes, the thieves have been arrested. In one case, Bike Batman even helped a family recover a wide range of prized possessions that suspects had stolen during a home burglary. His nickname came from a discussion with a police officer who suggested he be called “Robin Hood”. Since he wasnt exactly stealing from the rich and giving to the poor, “Batman” seemed a better fit. The idea of a superhero punishing criminals feels pretty silly to him, but the main reason he continues his work is to keep up Seattles reputation as a friendly city. 24. What is Bike Batman? A. A superhero. B. A website manager. C. A Seattle citizen. D. A police officer.25. What will Bike Batman first do when he discovers a questionable bike? A. Arrange to meet the thief.B.

To help poor people. C. To punish bike thieves. D. To build a friendly city.27. What can we learn from the passage?A. the thieves refused to return the bikes. B. the police failed to perform their duties. C. Bike Batman began his good deeds by accident.D. Bike Batman felt relieved to see the thieves arrested.CI have two kids, a boy and a girl. I dont worry about my girl; Im sure shell be well trained in mixed martial arts. I worry about my son. Im pretty sure hes going to be feminine (女性化的). Sorry to say that, but lets face it. No dad wants his son to go feminine.At the rate were moving in a couple of years you wont be able to tell the difference between boys and girls. Sound extreme? Think about this. In every movie where advanced time-traveling beings e to our planet, theres one constant: You cant tell the male aliens from the female aliens!But thats the future. Kids today are soft and fat. People ask why. Is it junk food? No. Junk food has been around for fifty years. Is it video games? No. Video games have been around for thirty years. None of the kids playing them back in the day were terribly obese. Were all scratching our heads trying to figure out what weve introduced to society to ruin our kids. But its not anything weve added that has ruined our kids. Its stuff weve gotten rid of. Take the gym rope for example. Remember that thing that stretched from the floor to the ceiling in your gym class that you could never climb? Most of the kids couldnt make it to the top. But that wasnt the point; the point was that you had to try while some middle-aged guy who couldnt make it up a flight of stairs shouted at you. We should have put our son on that rope, and given him a head start. But we didnt want to shame the boy, so we took it down.Taking down the rope would be a good idea if there were no ropes in life. But theyre everywhere. You just cant see them. Theyre in every goal unrealized and expectation not met. The point everyone missed about the rope is you werent supposed to make it to the top. It was there to create a fire that burned in the oversize belly of every kid. 28. What is the example of aliens used to show?A. Boys are going feminine.B. Girls are growing like boys.C. There are really time-traveling beings.D. Alien movies are popular with children.29. What causes kids today to be soft and fat?A. Junk food. B. Video games.C. Stuff introduced to society. D. Things removed from society.30. How does the author find teenagers today?A. They have too much dignity. B. They are overprotected.C. They are less independent. D. They are too highly thought of.31. What does the rope probably symbolize?A. Goals. B. Expectations. C. petition. D. Assistance.DGoogles new camera, called Clips, is a small, smart device. It es 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 shootlike 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.32. What is the most outstanding feature of Clips?A. It is equipped with tough glass. B. It enables easy Internet access. C. It allows of hands-free photography.D. It can be worn on your clothing.33. What does the underlined word “candid” in Paragraph 2 mean?A. Brief. B. Touching. C. Unforgettable.D. Embarrassing.34. What makes Clips a reality according to Juston Payne?A. The popularity of the Internet. B. The advance in technology.C. The rise of the smartphone industry. D. The reduction in the price of lens.35. What is the best title for the text?A. A New Digital Camera from Google. B. New Gadgets in the Age of Apps.C. Artificial Intelligence in Everyday Life. D. An 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。A dogs mind is only equal to that of a two-year-old baby. 36 Therefore, they are probably the first to notice any change in the behavior of their masters.
