I feel it is my responsibility, as a mother of two little girls, to lead you down a path that is relatively healthy when it comes to beauty and self-image. In a lot of womens eyes, Ive probably already failed in this aspect due to a lot of pink Barbie dolls in Veras room right now.But I will say this about Barbie doll: I played with Barbie dolls for many years when I was growing up and here I have a healthy body and a positive image. I have a masters degree, a successful career and a published book. If Barbie dolls were really so damaging to my femininity(女人气质) and self-image, I highly doubt whether I could list all of these achievements.Its hard for women not to worry about our weight or to wish we could afford more stylish clothes. Its hard not to want someone elses hair or eyelashes. We women go round and round in circles, holding hands and trying to be one another sometimes. The thing Ill tell you is this: not even the prettiest of us feel settled. The girl you think looks the most perfect in all the world is probably the girl who wants to change herself more than anyone else.Dont let that message carry any weight within yourselves. You are not worthless. You are so full of love and light and you should let it shine through your every second. If someone pushes you down for standing tall then just push yourself back up and stand even taller, and know that the reason why they pushed you down in the first place is just that theyre scared. I want to tell you that I have never in my life felt more beautiful than when I have stood my tallest.24. What does the author think about Barbie dolls?A. They did no harm to her image. B.

To persuade her daughters to follow her example.CAs the proverb goes, man struggles upwards; water flows downwards. Water runs downhill from mountaintops to streams, to rivers and to oceans. But downhill isnt the only way that water moves. A new study measures how water travels from country to country for human consumption. This flow isnt the type we usually think about. These scientists looked at the water used to grow and make the products which get shipped from nation to nation as imports or exports. They call this a flow of “virtual water”. We typically think about water as the liquid that flows from a tap. However, 92of the water used by people goes into growing crops, according to a water researcher Arjen Hoekstra. He recently studied the hidden travels of virtual water used in products made from things like crops and meats. These products are shipped around the world.For example, consider a sugary soft drink. Hoekstra estimated that to produce one half-liter of the drink requires between 170 and 310 liters of waterabout 95% is used to grow and process the ingredients(原料). Another 4 goes into the packaging and labeling. In Hoekstras calculation, when one country produces a half-liter of soda and sells it abroad, it exports as much virtual water as would fill a large refrigeratorAccording to Hoekstras new report, dry countries like Israel and Kuwait，both in the Middle East, get the majority of their virtual water from other countries，through imported products. More surprisingly, some wetter countries, like the Netherlands and the United Kingdom, also get the majority of their virtual water from other places. That means that most of the water used to grow or produce the products and food consumed in those countries came from other countries. 28. The proverb in Paragraph 1 is used to_.A. inspire readers to struggle upward B. introduce the topic of the passageC. tell a law of nature D. summarize the main idea of the passage29.

What can be a suitable title for the passage?A. Benefits of Virtual Water B. Hidden Uses of WaterC. Waters Worldwide Travels D. Crops and Virtual Water31. Where does the passage probably come from?A. A science fiction story.B. A newspaper advertisement. C. A book review.D. A science news report.DLast year DeepMinds AlphaGo programme took on and beat two of the worlds best players of the Chinese game of Go(围棋), an unbelievable achievement seen as a milestone in the development of artificial intelligence (AI). That programme was trained by first giving it vast amounts of data from amateur and professional games.The new AlphaGo Zero began with a blank board and nothing but the rules of Go and set about playing against itself. Within three days it was so advanced that it took on the previous version, which had taken months to develop, and defeated it by a hundred games to zero.DeepMind says that creating knowledge from first principles without learning from human expertise（专门技能）is an important step in developing artificial intelligence. The companys founder Demis Hassabis said this breakthrough could help in real world problems such as designing new drugs or discovering new materials.In 1997, Garry Kasparov was defeated by Deep Blue, a computer program written by IBM, running on a supercomputer. This was the first time that a ruling world chess champion was defeated by a computer program in tournament conditions. Superficially, AlphaGos win against Lee Sedol can be compared to Deep Blues win against Gary Kasparov, which happened almost 20 years ago. So: whats the big deal? We have to understand the differences between chess and Go.In chess, each player begins with 16 pieces of six different types. Each piece of type moves differently. The goal of the game is to seize the other players king. Go starts with an empty board. The goal of the game is to gain as much territory（领地）as possible.Although the rules of Go might appear simpler than those of chess, the complexity of Go is higher. Also, games usually last longer for lots of moves. A typical game in Go might last for 150 moves vs.80 in chess.32. What helped the new AlphaGo Zero defeat the previous version?A. A supercomputer. B. Some human expertise.C. A blank board and the rules of Go. D. Abundant data from various games.33. Which of the following is TRUE about the AlphaGo programme?A. It records the steps in the development of AI. B. It might help solve some real world problems.C. It may help develop a new computer system. D. It will rule the world Go champions.34. What can we learn about the Game of Go from the text?A. Each player starts with 16 pieces of six types. B. It lasts longer for more rules.C. It is more complex than the game of chess. D. It takes far fewer moves than the game of chess.35. What is the authors attitude towards the outcome of AI development?A. Doubtful.B. Disappointed.C. Uncaring.D. Positive.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。Rivers play an important role on the earth, and we cant imagine what the earth would be like without rivers. _36_With a length of 6, 650 kilometers, the Nile is the longest river in the world.
