In which page of the newspaper might we read this article? A. Sports.B. Business.C. Life.D. Education.BIn 2019 every graduating student at the private school was the first in his or her family to make it past middle school, and these high achievers didnt stop there: every one of them was also accepted to college. The Fugees Academy recently opened a second school, in Ohio, and a third one is soon to follow. With any luck, they will all produce success stories like the girl who described herself in this life story: “Im sad when we get days off during snowstorms and holiday breaks. My name is Harwaa from Iraq and I lived past the age of nine.”The academys name comes from the word refugees（难民）. All 90 graduates escaped dangerous countries: Liberia, Sudan, Afghanistan, Iran. Their lives in the United States were often hard too. Psychological hurts can make concentrating hard. Many reached middle school reading English, their second language, at a kindergarten level. Yet they grow up healthily and happily because of one woman, Luma Mufleh, and one game: soccer.About 15 years ago, Mufleh, a coach（教练）who emigrated from Jordan and ended up in Georgia, America, came across some boys playing street soccer. As she got to know them and their struggles, especially in school, she kept thinking: What would I do if this were my kid?Her answer: open a school for the students unlikely to get help elsewhere. “You want the kids who perform well in their studies, or who cant read a word,” Mufleh says. Her method is to speak to them in the language of their sport, which is filled into everything. They read about it and write papers comparing superstars Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. The biggest tool: teamwork. Report cards are read aloud, and if a grade is dropping, the whole class decide how to fix it.“We want them to see that theres no shame in struggling,” Mufleh says. “Were going to help no matter what.”24. What do the students who graduated from the Fugees Academy have in common?A. They succeeded in graduating from the same public middle school.B. They all came to America from their dangerous motherlands.C. Not every one of them had the chance to go to college.D. They grow up healthily and happily with their families.25. What does the underlined word “emigrated” in paragraph three mean?A. graduatedB. escapedC. movedD. recovered26. Mufleh helped the boys in the following ways EXCEPT _.A. helping them go back to schoolB. teaching them how to play football betterC. guiding them to comparing soccer superstarsD. making them realize the importance of teamwork27. Whats the best title of the passage?A. The students who will graduate B. The children from dangerous countriesC. A teacher helping poor childrenD. A school that saves lives with a goalCFor many, its easy to tell if its a computer calling you on your phone. Its voice makes it obvious before it has the chance to finish telling you that you can get a free loan（贷款）or that you are invited for a customer survey. Its also easy to hang up its just a computer, after all.But Google Duplex, an artificial intelligence (AI) voice assistant, has shown computers are able to “conduct a natural conversation with a human over the phone and complete simple real-world tasks,” reported tech site Wired. At May 8 conference, the company showed Duplex making phone calls and having full conversations. It called a hair salon, before calling a restaurant to make a reservation.As CNET noted, Google has changed the special computerized voice and taken “extra steps to disguise the system to sound more like a human”. . Duplex comes with imperfections “umms” and “uhhs” and uses human expressions such as “Oh, gotcha.”As a result, “the people on the other end of the call dont know they are chatting with AI,” said CNET. it will be able to help humans cut down on boring tasks. But for the rest, it “cross a line between being easily used and tricky,” as Wired wrote. People have difficulty knowing whether news is real or fake, or what photos are to be trusted. And now, we may not be able to trust our own ears.Google also mentioned that soon, Duplex will be able to copy the owners voice. While this is a great step forward in AI, it also raises many worries. . For example, students could use it to call their school and lie that theyre sick by using their parents voice.Since people are shocked by the fact that a machine can copy a human so well, Google has promised that in the future the voice will tell the listener its not a real person.According to Alexander Rudnicky, a researcher of human-computer speech interaction（互动）, technology like this is something people are only going to become more aware of. 28. What is special about Google Duplex?A. Its the most advanced AI voice assistant.B. It can misunderstand the person on the phone.C. Its well received upon appearing.D. It has the ability to copy human voice. 29. Where can the sentence “Some see Duplex as quite an amazing advance” be placed in the passage?A. B. C. D. 30. We can infer from the passage that _.A. its no surprise that people dont trust their ears B. humans should limit the development of AIC. the special computerized voice is almost perfectD. AI is going to make teachers cheated by parents31. Whats the article mainly about?A. AI brings about many worries.B. AI is taking the place of humans.C. AI takes big step forward.D. AI is coming into daily life.DTen years before Air Jordans, I learned to fly. Its like the way some kids walk to a basketball hoop（篮筐）with a ball and throw a few shots, hitting each one easily. As double-dutch（双绳跳）girls, we had our own jump. Three of us and a couple of ropes. It had to be at least three girls two to turn, one to jump. We started turning nice and slow. Before jumping in, we would rock back and forth to push ourselves forward. It wasnt a question of whether wed make it in; the challenge was how long we could jump. There is a space between the ground and heaven where the air is sweeter and your heart beats faster. You drop down and then you jump up again and you do it over and over until the rope catches on your foot or your mother calls you home. Your legs feel powerful and heavy as they beat the ground. In the rope, if youre good enough, you can do anything and be anything you want. Wed meet at about 3:30 p.m., after wed changed from our school clothes into our play clothes. Then wed jump until the parents started coming home. Most of our parents worked nine to five in Manhattan, and it took them about an hour to get home. We knew it was coming up on six oclock when we saw the first grown-up in business clothes walking down the hill from the bus stop.Sometimes a grown-up woman, dressed in the stockings and sneakers that all our mothers wore for the long way home, would jump in handbag and all just to show us what she could do. She usually couldnt jump for very long. These women had no purpose of sweating anyway.Around this time, I would start looking out for my mother. Id try to make my turn last long enough so she could see the jump.“Wait, Mom, watch me jump!” Id say.“Ive got to start dinner,” shed say, closing the gate behind her.Theres so much I can do. So much she doesnt know. But its always some other time with her.Here is what I wish she knew: There is nothing better than the space between the two ropes. The feeling of happiness encircles you and protects you and there you are strong. I wish shed let me show her.32. Why does the author mention Air Jordans in Paragraph 1?A. To introduce the topic.B.

Any child born in prison had to stay there and had no chance of an education. This meant they would probably have to beg or steal when they grew up and then would return to prison. So the first thing Elizabeth did was to provide food, clean clothes and straw for beds. Later she began a prison school for the children and taught the women to sew（缝纫）, knit（编织）and make goods to sell. In this way they were able to make a little money for themselves and gain some self-respect. 44 Later Elizabeth was asked to go to the leaders of Britain to discuss how to the conditions for prisoners.Of course she did not do all the work on her own. Other Quaker women helped her and went around the country raising money for her work. 45 They said that she should spend more time with her family. Other people said she enjoyed being famous too much. However, her husband, Joseph, supported and encouraged her, so she continued working to help improve the lives of poor prisoners till she died. Her ideas did not disappear after her death and her work was remembered in 1947 when the Quakers were given the Nobel Peace Prize.A. She realized that prisoners behaved badly because they were being treated like animals.B. However, Elizabeth was not satisfied with her easy life and her growing family.C. Her kindness helped her gain the friendship of the prisoners and they began to try to improve their conditions for themselves.D. She planned to experience the prison life on her own.E. Some people did not like her ideas and quarreled with her. F. Elizabeth did whatever she could to help the poor.G.
