together, weve gone through both tears and happiness.about 12 years ago, i made acquaintance with it following an order from my mom. many hours of boredom were spent practicing it. and to make things worse, the disappointment in my teachers eyes as i played the wrong notes was like an invisible hammer, striking on my heart. one day, i finally decided: i hate it!by chance, things changed when i was seven. i was at home lying on the sofa, wondering how those famous violinists dealt with this terrible dilemma. i searched online for the e-minor concerto, a well-known violin work by german composer felix mendelssohn, and listened to it.a beautiful and mysterious sound came from the violin as the bow moved across it. it was like the music slid over the flowers, rose up, and started to fill the air. the violins voice woke up the sun, made the trees green, and freshened the air. as the music changed, the sky turned back to gray. a gloomy shade covered the grass as all the sunshine disappeared. i could hear children crying and men shouting. it was like an invisible claw had grabbed my heart tightly, making it unable to beat.that glorious day set off my passion and interest in violin - i grabbed mine and never let it go. before the memories faded, i stared at my instrument. without hesitating, i picked it up, rosined(用松香擦)the bow, and began to play. peace filled my heart.my violin has been by my side for 12 years. when i feel happy, an energetic tune makes it even better; when im deep in sorrow, a peaceful tune washes it away, when im walking on air, feeling especially pleased with my achievements, solemn(庄严的)tunes calm me down. gradually, it has become a part of my life.my violin, shall i compare you to a summers day?24. what further contributed to the authors dislike of violin-playing?a. orders from mum. b. boredom of practice.c. loss of passion for violin. d. disappointment in the teachers eyes.25. what can be inferred from paragraph 4?a. the weather actually changed because of the tune.b. the authors feeling was continuously influenced by the music.c. the sudden change made the authors heart unable to beat.d. the scenery outside the room was quite attractive.26. why did the author pick up the violin again?a. the invisible hammer and claw are gone. b. the beautiful imagination changed his attitude.c. a famous tune aroused his interest and passion. d. he was crazy about felix mendelssohns works.27. which of the following can be the best title for the text?a. deep love for music. b. my dislike and like of violin.c. an inspiring story of violin. d. musical soul mateviolin.cthe alphago programs victory is an example of how smart computers have become. but can artificial intelligence (al) machines act ethically(合乎道德地),meaning can they be honest and fair?one example of al is driverless cars. they are already on california roads, so it is not too soon to ask whether we can program a machine to act ethically. as driverless cars improve, they will save lives. they will make fewer mistakes than human drivers do. sometimes, however, they will face a choice between lives. should the cars be programmed to make a sudden turn to avoid hitting a child ? what if the only risk is damage to the car itself not to the passengers?perhaps there will be lessons to learn from driverless cars, but they are not super-intelligent beings. teaching ethics to a machine even more intelligent than we are will be the bigger challenge.about the same time as alphagos victory, microsofts chatbot took a bad turn. the software, named taylor, was designed to answer messages from people aged 18-24. taylor was supposed to be able to learn from the messages she received. she was designed to slowly improve her ability to handle conversations, but some people were teaching taylor racist ideas. when she started saying nice things about hitler, microsoft turned her off and deleted her ugliest messages.alphagos victory and taylors defeat happened at about the same time. this should be a warning to us. it is one thing to use al within a game with clear rules and clear goals. it is something very different to use al in the real world.eric schmidt is one of the bosses of google, which owns alphogo. he said people will be the winner, whatever the outcome. advances in al will make human beings smarter, more able and “just better human beings.”28. whats the second paragraph mainly about ?a. whether al machines are capable to predict possible risks.b. whether al machines can make ethical decisions.c. what al machines will do to save human lives.d. what al machines will do to avoid damages to themselves29.what is said to be the bigger challenge facing humans in the al age?a. how to prevent al machines doing harm to humans.b. how to avoid being over-dependent on al machines.c. how to ensure that super-intelligent al machines act ethically.d.how to make super-intelligent al machines share human feelings.30.what do we learn about microsofts chatbot taylor?a.she could not tell good from bad.b.she could turn herself off when necessary.c. she was not made to handle new situations.d. she was good at performing routine tasks.31.what is eric schmidts attitude towards artificial intelligence?a. negative b.unconcerned c. positive d. doubtfulda walk through the galleries of quebecs montreal museum of fine arts (mmfa) places individuals face-to-face with some 43,000 artworks ranging from chinese ceramics (陶瓷制品) to inuit sculpture.while the visiting is an incredible cultural experience, a group of local physicians will soon be able to prescribe(开处方) museum visits as treatment for some illnesses.we know that art contributes to neural(神经的) activity, said mmfa director nathalie bondil. what we see is that being in contact with art can really help your well-being.hlne boyer, vice president of a montreal-based medical association, explains that museum visits have been shown to increase levels of serotonin, a neurotransmitter (神经传导物质) known as the happy chemical which helps to lift mood.according to boyer, the small increase in hormones（荷尔蒙）associated with enjoying an afternoon of art is similar to that offered by exercise, making museum prescriptions ideal for the elderly experiencing pain that prevents them from regularly joining in physical activity.the museum visits are designed to improve traditional methods. as bondil notes, spending time in a peaceful environment can provide a welcome distraction. what is most important is this experience can help them escape from their own pain, she says. when you enter the museum, you escape from the speed of our daily life.i am convinced that in the 21st century, culture will be what physical activity was for health in the 20th century, said bondil. some people would do well to recall that just in the 19th century, sports were believed to do harm to the body. just as doctors now prescribe exercise, they will be able to prescribe a visit to the mmfa.32. what does hlne boyer think of museum visits?a. they can cheer people up. b. they can reduce physical activity.c. they can slow down our life pace. d. they can increase levels of art appreciation.33. how do museum visits affect people?a. stop them concentrating on pain. b. stop them focusing on traditional methods.c. encourage them not to be absent-minded. d. encourage them to slow their steps while walking.34. what does the last paragraph suggest?a. physical activities were popular in the 19th century.b. sports are considered to be harmful to the body.c. ideas of treating illnesses are changing over time.d. doctors prescribe museum visits regularly now.35. what is the main idea of the text?a. museum visits are ideal for the elderly. b. happy chemical helps to lift mood.c. peaceful environment helps escape pain. d. cultural activities will promote health.第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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。try this at home!are you looking for a new pastime that will create a balance between physical activity and relaxation? then yoga may be the perfect choice for you. yoga can be practiced by people of all ages and levels of fitness. 36 its a great way to strengthen your muscles and become more flexible.in the 1930s, indian sri tirumali and k. pattabhi developed one of the most popular forms of yoga practised worldwide today. they worked together using an ancient sansknt text called yoga korunta to create a set routine of yoga movements and breathing exercises. 37 ashtanga is different from other forms of yoga. it is a very powerful
