He will surely leave the crowd laughing.Right after their shows here, the performers will begin a threemonth tour in South America. So make sure you buy your tickets early.

Im from a very small town and at that time no other girls played football in my town. People said football wasnt for women and my family shouldnt let me play. They also said I wouldnt make it, and that I wasnt good enough.As a child, I didnt really understand why people were so against me playing when I could play it well! I fought back by showing my talent on the streets.My greatest inspiration (激励) was my mother. We came from a poor family; my mom separated from my dad when I was less than a year old and she raised four children on her own. She worked all day, had little time to spend with us, but she never gave up. I found my strength from her to keep going.Every win is important for me, from the time when I was playing in amateur teams among the boys to the first win as part of the Brazilian national team, and now. I remember when I went back to my town in 2006 after winning the award (奖) for the best female player in the world. When I arrived, it was nearly midnight and the whole town was awake, waiting for me. I got into a firemans truck and people were waving. That achievement could happen because I hadnt given up that first moment I heard a “no”Sport changed my life completely. It gave me the opportunity (机会) to help my family, meet other people, see other countries and experience other cultures. Sport is a tool for empowering girls, because it gives you the opportunity to do what you want and learn to respect the differences between people.For me, its a great honor to be a UN Women Goodwill Ambassador (亲善大使). Today, I am here to use my story to inspire many more girls and women and to create opportunities so that next generation doesnt have to go through what I did.【语篇解读】本文是记叙文。文章是联合国妇女署亲善大使巴西女足名将玛塔的一次演讲内容。24What was the authors familys attitude toward her playing football at first?AThey were uncertain about it.BThey were supportive of it.CThey were strongly against it.DThey thought it must be painful.答案与解析：B细节理解题。由第一段中的“after my brothers had agreed to let their little sister join in their games”和“People said. my family shouldnt let me play”可知，作者的家人支持她踢足球。25What happened to the author when she returned home in 2006?AShe learnt to say “no” for the first time.BShe had little time to spend with her family.CShe got a chance to play for the national team.DShe was warmly welcomed by the whole town.答案与解析：D细节理解题。由第四段中的“the whole town was awake, waiting for me”和“people were waving”可知，由于作者荣获了2006年世界最佳女球员的称号，她家乡的人们为此都欢呼雀跃，她回家的那天晚上，全镇的人都没睡等着她，热烈欢迎她回家。26Which of the following words can best describe the author?ACreative.

Actually, there are three ways to this career (职业)First is the informal or selftaught path (途径) taken by many people. People in different fields often discover their personal interest in the future. And then they begin to read things about futures studies, forecasting, science and technology, and so on. They begin to attend meetings as they can find them. Gradually they begin to call themselves futurists. Of the 40,000 members of the World Future Society (WFS), most have taken that_path. But only about 1,200 are “professional members” who try to make a living as futurists. If this path sounds right for you, it can be successfully followed. The best place to start is with a membership in the WFS.A second path is through the more traditional colleges. There are college programs in futures studies. Among those we suggest is the masters degree program in futures studies at the University of Houston, Clear Lake, Texas. Another program in futures studies is the Hawaii Research Center for Futures Studies, at the University of Hawaii.Finally, a third path is the one that I took, or rather was given. That is the mentor (导师) path. An early futurist and founding member of the WFS took me under his wing while I was an undergraduate student (本科生). He began to feed me things to read and to attend, nurturing (培养) my own interest in the future through what became more than a tenyearlong relationship. His name was Ed Lindaman, at one time director of program planning for building Apollo, later a college president when I knew him. If you are lucky enough to find that kind of relationship, it can have some of the features of the first two paths, though without the formal degree.【语篇解读】本文是说明文。作者结合自身经历向读者介绍了成为一名未来学家的三种途径。28What do we know about the author?AHe founded the WFS.BHe got his first job as a futurist.CHe makes a living as a futurist now.DBeing a futurist was his childhood dream.答案与解析：C细节理解题。由第一段中的“I left a job in higher education in 1987 to begin work full time as a futurist”可知，作者如今是一位职业未来学家。29What does the underlined part “that path” in Paragraph 2 refer to?ASelfstudy.BFulltime education.CBeing a WFS member.DBeing guided by professionals.答案与解析：A词义猜测题。由第二段中的“First is the informal or selftaught path taken by many people”可知，世界未来学会中的大多数人都是通过自学的方式开始他们对未来学研究的。30What kind of feeling did the author have when he mentioned Ed Lindaman?ARegret. BWorry.CExcitement. DThankfulness.答案与解析：D推理判断题。由最后一段中的“took me under his wing. nurturing my own interest in the future. more than a tenyearlong relationship. If you are lucky enough to find that kind of relationship”可知，Ed Lindaman是使作者走上职业未来学家这条道路的启蒙者和领路人，他们的友谊长达数十年，作者十分感激他的帮助和指引。31What advice does the author mainly give to readers?AHow to join the WFS.BHow to become a futurist.CHow to choose your career.DHow to take a degree in the future.答案与解析：B主旨大意题。本文的主旨句是第一段中的“Actually, there are three ways to this career”，其中的career指代a futurist。再由下文提及成为未来学家的三种途径“the informal or selftaught path, through the more traditional colleges”和“the mentor path”可知，作者旨在通过本文告诉读者如何成为一名未来学家。DThree French students, using the name “Obvious”， have produced the first artwork created mainly by a computer program to be sold at auction (拍卖). Using artificial intelligence (AI), Obvious created 11 Portraits of an imaginary family they called Belamy.Obvious used 15,000 real portraits to train an AI program which has two parts. One part tries to create pictures that look real. The other part judges (判断) the work. If the portrait doesnt look real enough, the first part goes back and changes its decisions until it comes up with a better picture. These decisions are controlled by an algorithm (计算程序). The students made many choices, helping guide the AIs decisions. But even so, the painting is “signed”by the algorithm, instead of the students.On October 25, Obviouss picture, Edmond de Belamy, was sold at auction at Christies in New York. The final price for Edmond de Belamy was $432,500 about ten times more than Christies expected.This is not the first AI artwork, just the first one sold at auction. In fact, many people are not impressed with the Portrait. “The work isnt interesting, or original (新颖的)，”says 19yearold Robbie Barrat. He should know. He wrote much of the program that created the pictures.But he doesnt like the idea of Obvious selling the picture. He thinks its too simple and gives a bad idea of what real AI artists are doing. He points out that he created many pictures like these over a year ago.Obvious doesnt hide the fact that it used Mr. Barrats work, or even that its portrait is not the best AI artwork ever. Pierre Fautrel of Obvious said，“. the goal of our project was to do something that was simple enough for. my mother or brother to understand.”Obvious got the attention of Christies by selling another work, Le Comte de Belamy, for over $11, 000 in February. One reason Christies chose to auction Obviouss work is because AI art is unusual now. In the future it will be much more common.【语篇解读】本文是说明文。一幅由人工智能创作的画像在纽约佳士得拍卖行以43.25万美元的价格被卖出。32What does Paragraph 2 mainly explain?AHow Obvious made its decisions.BHow Obvious named its AI artwork.CHow Obviouss AI program did paintings.DHow Obvious got the idea to become AI artists.答案与解析：C主旨大意题。本段是对艺术组织Obvious所设计的人工智能程序是如何创作绘画的介绍该程序由生成和鉴别两种算法组成，整个系统以1.5万幅真实的肖
