Without saying a word, she speaks to people with her kind eyes. Even when she walks away, she leaves an impression. Mollys mark is a smile, stamped into the ground by the horseshoe at the bottom of her false leg. A few years ago, Molly was badly attacked by a dog. The dog bit all four of Mollys legs and left large cuts in her face. Mollys owner, Kate Harris, took her to an animal hospital. Doctors there were able to save Mollys life, but soon one of her legs became very infected.At first, doctors thought Molly would have to be put to sleep. But Molly changed their minds. This pony, doctors noticed, shifted her weight, and rested her good leg from time to time. Doctors knew Molly had amazing intelligence, and that she wanted to live.Several doctors operated on Molly, and removed her infected leg. A false leg was made for her. The leg was a hollow cast with a pole at the bottom for balance. Doctors gave Molly a special horseshoe at the bottom of the leg. This horseshoe she had had a stamp of a smile face in it!After the operation, Molly walked around on all four legs, as if nothing had ever happened to her! Now, with every step she takes, she stamps a smile in the dirt. But she leaves her m ark in other ways, too.Kaye Harris took Molly to the false leg center. There were children there who, like Molly, had artificial arms or legs. They were amazed to see a pony with a false leg. Molly made them smile and gave them hope. Soon, Molly began to visit schools, nursing homes, army bases and hospitals. A book was even written about Molly!21. What is Molly?A. A dog. B. A girl.C. A horse. D. A parent.22. What is unusual about Molly?A. Molly ran a race and won the first prize. B. Molly often visits places such as schools and parks. C. Molly has become a symbol of hope for people of all ages.D. Molly has a false leg with a horseshoe shaped like a smiling face.23. What can be the best title for the passage? A. Leaving her MarkC. A Serious Dog Attack B. A Man-Made LegD. A Successful OperationBStephen William Hawking(1942.1-2018.3), was a theoretical physicist, cosmologist, author and Director of Research at the Centre for Theoretical Cosmology within the University of Cambridge. Having spent his career decoding the universe and even experienced weightlessness, he was urging the continuation of space exploration for humanitys sake. The 76-year-old Hawking once said he did not think humans would survive another 1,000 years “without escaping beyond our fragile planet.” The scientist made the remarks before an audience of doctors, nurses and employees at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, where he toured a stem cell laboratory thats focused on trying to slow the progression of Lou Gehrigs disease. Hawking was diagnosed(被诊断) with the neurological disorder 55 years ago while studying at Cambridge University. He recalled how he became depressed and at first didnt see a point in finishing his PhD. But he continued to devote himself to his studies.“If you understand how the universe operates, you control it in a way,” he said. Famous for his work on black holes and the origins of the universe, Hawking was also well-known for bringing abstract physics concepts to the masses through his best-selling books.Hawking survived longer than most people with Lou Gehrigs disease, also known as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. ALS attacks nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord(脊髓) that control the muscles. People gradually have more and more trouble breathing and moving as muscles weaken and waste away. Theres no cure and no way to reverse (倒转) the diseases progression. Few people with ALS live longer than a decade.Hawking received around-the-clock care, could only communicate by twitching his cheek, and relied on a computer mounted to his wheelchair to convey his thoughts in a unique robotic monotone.Despite his diagnosis, Hawking remained active. In 2007, he floated like an astronaut on an aircraft that created weightlessness by making parabolic(抛物线) dives. “However difficult life may seem, there is always something you can do.” he said.24. Why did Hawking remark that humans will not survive another 1,000 years?A. To warn the earth may not be suitable to live on.B. To make his theory on cosmology widely accepted.C. To show the earth is becoming more and more fragile. D. To persuade human beings to further space exploration.25. What if a person suffers from Lou Gehrigs disease?A. They will be unable to walk or speak to others.B. They are likely to die within ten years generally.C. They can recover a little bit if they are treated early.D. They are mostly assisted by especially-designed robots26. What do Hawkings achievements in science lie in?A. His interest in physics.C. His research on the universe.B. His creation of black holes. D. His strong will against disease.27. What must human beings do if they want to survive according to Hawking?A. Study the universe without stop.C. Realize the way the universe works.B. Escape possible future disasters. D. Protect the environment of the earth.CWhen I was in the fifth grade and Mr. Gardner asked a question, my hand would often shoot up in enthusiasm. After giving me a few opportunities, he would try to give other students a chance. My hand, though, would remain in the air, and after some time, Id start waving it around. Then, there was the time I entered drumming classes. But all we were allowed to do in the first class was practice one beat over and over again. I never went back.I would have done terribly in theStanford Marshmallow(果浆软糖) Experiment. In this classic study, researchers gave children a choice between one marshmallow right away and two later. The results showed that those who could wait 15 minutes ended up scoring 210 points higher on the SAT, an examination that American high school students take before they go to college. So clearly, delaying(延迟的) gratification or bearing up under pain have their benefits. It needs patience, which keeps us from being stuck to ideas formed previously, and helps us let go of our strong desire for consequences. We come to accept that we dont always or immediately know what is best, and learn to recognize that our reality is in constant changes. Patience improves our understanding of deeper truths and helps us expand our views.The journey of patience is rooted in knowing that our present reality will finally give way to changes. But changes wont always happen when we think they should, and patience with ourselves comes from accepting that there are things we can control and things we cant. And though we must make great efforts to keep pushing the boundaries of our awareness and to improve our ability to rest in comfort in the present moment, how fast we develop isnt up to us.That same fifth grader who couldnt wait to speak out answers now sees the value of meeting questions with a heart of patience. 28. Why did the author wave his hand around in class?A. He wanted to entertain himself.B. He tried to show his impatience.C. He was making fun of his fellow students. D. He wanted to give his fellow students a chance.29. Whats the purpose of the Stanford Marshmallow Experiment?A. To test childrens concentration levels.B. To test whether children have sweet teeth.C. To test patience and its potential advantages.D. To test the bond between patience and desire.30. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “gratification” in Para. 3?A. Progress. B. Patience.C. Assistance. D. Satisfaction.31. What is the main reason for people to have patience according to the text?A. Constant changes.C. An absence of self-control.B. Present reality.D. A strong desire for consequences. DIn 1941, science fiction writer Isaac Asimov stated the Three Laws of Robotics. These laws come from the world of science fiction, but the real world is catching up. A law firm gave Pittsburghs Carnegie Mellon University $10 million to explore artificial intelligence. Peter Kalis, chairman of the law firm, K&L Gates, said the development of technology had led to questions that were never taken seriously before. What will happen when you make robots that are smart, independent thinkers and then try to limit their freedom?Researcher Kalis said, “One expert said well be at a point when we give an instruction to our robot to go to work in the morning and it turns around and says, Id rather go to the beach.” He said that one day we would want laws to keep our free-thinking robots from running wild.With the law firms gift, the university will be able to explore problems now appearing within automated industries. “Take driverless cars for example,” Kalis said. “If theres an accident concerned with a driverless car, what policies do we have in place? What kind of insurance policies do they have?” In fact, people can take a ride in a driverless car in Pittsburgh where an American online transportation network company uses the city as a testing ground for the companys driverless cars.The problems go beyond self-driving cars and robots. Think about the next generation of smartphones, those chips fixed in televisions, computers, fridges, etc., and the ever-expanding collection of personal data being stored in the “cloud”. So can Asimovs Three Laws of Robotics be used in reality? Is it necessary to have a moral guideline that everyone can understand? Whatever it is, doing no harm should be the very first one. 32. What can we learn from the first paragraph?A. Robot should have more freedom.B. Technology is running ahead of laws. C. The Three Laws of Robotics are practical.D. Peter wants to explore artificial intelligence.33. What makes humans worry about robots?A. Robots may be out of control.C. Robots can become angry easily.B. Robots can do something illegal.D. Robots may have many requests.34. What is the third paragraph intended to tell us?A. Its hard for robots to obey rules.B. A law on robotics is really a must.C. Driverless cars can cause accidents.D. Driverless cars are being tested out now.35. What should the basic law on robotics be according to the text?A. Robots should be cautiously used in life.B. Robots should obey Asimovs Three Laws.C. Robots should be easy for people to operate.D. Robots should help with peoples life and work.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。How to Avoid an Internet AddictionWhile it may seem like everyone surfs the web these days, there is fine line between casually checking your social media pages and having a full blown internet addiction.
