These colorful and sweet jewels from British Columbias fields are little powerhouses of nutritional protection.Of the mon berries(浆果), strawberries are highest in vitamin C, although, because of their seeds, raspberries contain a little more protein, iron and zinc (not that fruits have much protein). Blueberries are especially high in antioxidants (抗氧化物质). The yellow and orange stone fruits such as peaches are high in the carotenoids(胡萝卜素) we turn into Vitamin A and which are antioxidants. As for cherries, they are so delicious who care? However, they are rich in Vitamin C.When bined with berries or slices of other fruits, frozen bananas make an excellent base for thick, cooling fruits shakes and low fat “ice cream”. For this purpose, select ripe(成熟的) bananas for freezing as they are much sweeter. Remove the skin and place them in plastic bags or containers and freeze. If you like, a squeeze of fresh lemon juice on the bananas will prevent them turning brown. Frozen bananas will last several weeks, depending on their ripeness and the temperature of the freezer.If you have a juicer, you can simply feed in frozen bananas and some berries or sliced fruit. Out es a “Soft-serve” creamy dessert, to be eaten right away. This makes a fun activity for a childrens party; they love feeding the fruit and frozen bananas into the top of the machine and watching the ice cream e out below.21.What does the writer seem to like about cherries?A.

Nobel as a young man studied with Nikolai Zinin, a well-known chemist. In 1850, he met Ascanio Sobrero, the inventor of nitroglycerin (炸药) in Paris. Interested in its unpredictable nature of exploding under pressure or heat, Nobel started to find a way to control it and make a usable explosive(炸药). In 1857 he applied for his first patent (专利), an English patent for a gas meter. After years of efforts, in 1867, at the age of 34, Nobel invented dynamite(炸药), which is much easier and safer to control than nitroglycerin. Dynamite was an immediate business success and it was patented in the US and the UK and was widely used in mining.During his lifetime, Nobel invented and patented various explosives. He built up his wealth from his 355 inventions, from which dynamite was the most important.When Alfreds brother Ludwig died in 1888, a French newspaper mistakenly published Alfreds obituary (讣告). Reading his own obituary, Nobel was disappointed to find out his public image(形象). The newspaper strongly blamed(责备) Nobel for inventing dynamite, giving him the nickname of “the merchant of death” and saying “Dr. Alfred Nobel, who became rich by finding ways to kill more people faster than ever before, died yesterday.” To Alfred, this obituary was a warning. He spent his lifetime alone inventing things and was deeply concerned with how he would be remembered. This unfortunate event inspired him to make changes in his will(遗嘱), so as to improve his public image, and to be remembered for a good cause.In 1895, one year before his death, Nobel made the last will, saying clearly that his wealth would be used to create a series of prizes for those who have made great contributions to mankind in physics, chemistry, physiology or medicine, literature, and peace. To widespread astonishment, Dr. Alfred Nobel gave away 94% of his total wealth to found the five Nobel Prizes.25. According to paragraph 2, what led to Nobels outstanding achievements? A. The valuable help from his family. B. The strong desire to make money. C. His lifetime dream of achieving success. D. His great curiosity and devotion to science.26. What was Alfred Nobels attitude towards the newspapers obituary? A. Upset.B. SupportiveC. OptimisticD. Satisfied 27. Why did Nobel give away most of his wealth to set up the Nobel Foundation?A. To publish his findings of scientific research.B. To improve his public image.C. To be remembered as the “Merchant of Death”. D. To prove the importance of his inventions.CSeveral recent studies examined how machine automation and artificial intelligence (AI) will change the future of work. Some people predict these technologies could replace up to 30 percent of workers worldwide by 2030. The possibility of being replaced will greatly increase for workers with less education, said Price Waterhouse Coopers, an international pany providing financial and tax services. It estimated(估计) that in Britain, up to 46 percent of workers without a college degree could be in danger because of automation. This would drop to about 12 percent for workers with undergraduate degrees or higher. “New smart machines have the hidden power to replace our minds and to move around freely in the world,” the study said. It added that the greatest job replacement is expected to e in the areas of transportation, storage, manufacturing (制造业)and retail（零售）. The Rand Corporation recently published its own report on the future effects of automation and AI on jobs and the workplace. Osonde Osoba was a co-author of the report. He noticed that fears over machines taking jobs from humans goes back centuries. He agrees there will be major job disruptions(混乱) because of AI and automation, especially for lower skilled workers. But he believes the future problems have been overestimated(高估) without historical evidence to support the predictions. “Its not so much that the jobs are getting replaced, but its more like tasks are getting replaced and jobs are reconfiguring(重新装备) over time to account for that automation.” He added that it will be very difficult for panies to pletely automate most jobs, because they request a worker to perform many different duties and to respond to unexpected situations. “If you are thinking about detailed things an individual(个人) might do to prepare themselves, I guess being more adaptable and being able to reeducate yourself to fit into a different job.” Osonde Osoba suggests.28.According to the whole passage, _are most likely to lose their job? A. scientists in laboratoriesB. teachers in colleges and universities C. milkmen in milk paniesD. officers in governments29.Which of the following is RIGHT according to the passage? A. panies have pletely automated most jobs for saving cost. B. Humans have feared to be replaced by AI and automation. C. The job replacement has e in transportation and retail. D. People with high degrees get higher danger of losing jobs than those with no college degree.30.What do you think is the best title of the passage? A. Future workers: what to do to keep the job. B. Job replacement: who is to blame. C. Automation and AI: how to replace the future job. D. New studies: why the future job is replaced.第二节（共5个小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据内容，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 know that overnight success usually takes at least 10 years?
