When you are a child, every scent, every sound, every move, every toy, the first day of school, the first kiss, the first step. . . Everything together makes what is the personality of a man. All these are pieces of one whole entity.I was about 6 years old. My moms best friend left to another town and asked my mom to stay at her place with me for two days in order to look after her two sons. One was a little older than I was. and the second boy appeared to be super grown-up, for he was already fourteen. I always enjoyed staying at their place.I remember the second day we were supposed to have the come-back party for my moms friend at her place. I woke up. Mom went to work and reminded me to be nice and clean by the time she came back. I stayed with Tony, the older of the boys and suddenly somebody called him and though he was not permitted to leave me alone-he left. He said it would not be long. But it took him forever. I realized that I was alone. I could not come out of the house, so I opened the window. I was so desperate. So lonely. So betrayed. At that moment I pulled the curtain so strongly that I fell on the floor. And there I was standing-one little criminal-desperate to escape and knowing that I would be punished for destroying the curtain that was not even ours.But then something changed. I stopped weeping. I looked around and realized that I was in a safe place, and that mom would come back and kiss me no matter what I had done.This was a moment of pure happiness, not the happiness of getting a new toy or a dog, or going to the party of your best friend. It was the moment of clarity for me-the first time in my life when I realized that I was happy to have my mom and that I was safe. My eyes saw the world in different shades that moment. And by the way-I was not punished for the curtain. I fell asleep on my moms knees.24What is the best title for this passage?AAn Unforgettable PartyBA Childhood MemoryCA Happy Day in My Moms Best Friends HomeDThe Rules You Should Follow25What best describes the authors feelings toward childhood memories?AChildhood memories are easy to forget.BThey make what is the personality of a man.CGood memories are always much easier for us to remember.DChildhood memories are always strange and incomprehensible.26What happened to the author when he was 6 years old?AHis family moved to another apartment.BHe always fought with moms friends children for toys.CHe was punished by his mom for destroying her friends curtain.DHe was locked inside a house and failed to get out by the window.27In the last paragraph, the word It refers to_.Athe moment he received a present from his momBthe time he spent in moms friends homeCthe moment he realized his moms loveDthe time he destroyed the curtainC Artificial intelligence (AI) technology may soon be a useful tool for doctors. It may help them better understand and treat diseases like breast cancer in ways that were never before possible.Rishi Rawat teaches AI at the University of Southern Californias (USC) Clinical Science Center in Los Angeles. He is part of a team of scientists who are researching how AI and machine learning can more easily recognize cancerous growths in the breast. Rawat provides information about cancer cells to a computer. He says this data helps the machine learn. “. . . You can put the data into computers and they will learn the patterns and the pattern recognition is important to making decisions.”David Agus is another USC researcher. He says machines are not going to take the place of doctors. “Computers will not treat patients, but they will help make certain decisions and look for things that the human brain cant recognize by itself. Once a confirmed cancerous growth is removed, doctors still have to treat the patient to reduce the risk of cancer returning. The form of treatment depends on the kind of cancer.”Currently, researchers take a thin piece of tissue, put it on a small piece of glass and add color to better see the cells. That process could take days or even longer. Scientists say artificial intelligence can do something better than just count cells. Through machine learning, it can recognize complex patterns, or structures, and learn how the cells are organized.The hope is that machines will soon be able to make a quick identification of cancer that is free of human mistakes. “All of a sudden, we have the computing power to really do it in real time. . . We couldnt have done this, we didnt have the computing power to do this several years ago, but now its all changed.” Agus adds that the process could be done for almost no cost in the developing world. He says that having a large amount of information about patients is important for a machine to effectively do its job in medicine.The University of Southern California researchers are now only studying breast cancer. But doctors predict artificial intelligence will one day make a difference in all forms of cancer.28In Rishi Rawats research, _.Athe data put into computers contributes to cancer recognitionBmany cancers are being studied at the momentCmachine learning has replaced doctors workDthe focus is on the cure for cancer29David Aguss words in Paragraph 3 are used to _.Aprovide some advice for doctorsBintroduce the development of cancerCappeal to scientists to research into cancerDexplain the function of AI in treating cancer30What can we infer from the text ?AAI can make decisions for doctors.BDeveloping countries might be lack of funds.CAI will hopefully make an accurate identification of cancer.DComputing power has long helped with the identification of cancer.31What is the authors attitude towards AI used in treating cancer?APositive. BIndifferent. CDoubtful. DNegative.DWhat will power your house in the future? Nuclear, wind, or solar power? According to scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the US, it might be leaves but man-made ones.Natural leaves are able to change sunlight and water into energy. It is known as photosynthesis (光合作用). Now researchers have found a way to copy this seemingly simple process.The man-made leaf developed by Daniel Nocera and his partners at MIT can be seen as a special chip with catalysts (催化剂). Similar to natural leaves, it can split water into hydrogen and oxygen when put into a bucket of water. The hydrogen and oxygen gases are then stored in a fuel cell (电池), which uses those two materials to produce electricity.A man-made leaf is not a new idea. The first man-made leaf was invented in 1997 but was too expensive and changeable for practical use. The new leaf, on the contrary, is made of cheap materials, easy to use and highly stable. In laboratory studies, Nocera showed that a man-made leaf prototype (原型) could operate continuously for at least 45 hours without a drop in activity.The wonderful improvements come from Noceras recent discovery of several powerful, new, inexpensive catalysts. These catalysts make the energy change inside the leaf more efficient with water and sunlight. Right now, the new leaf is about 10 times more efficient at carrying out photosynthesis than a natural one. Besides, the machine can run in whatever water is available; that is, it doesnt need pure water. This is important for some countries that dont have enough pure water.With the goal to “make each home its own power station” and “giving energy to the poor”, scientists believe that the new machine could be widely used in developing countries, especially in India and rural China.32What will give power to our house in the future, according to MIT?AMan-made leaves. BNuclear.CSolar power. DWind.33Which of the following orders correctly shows how the man-made leaf is used to produce electricity?a. man-made leaves split water into hydrogen and oxygenb. the hydrogen and oxygen gases are stored in a fuel cellc. the man-made leaves are put in waterd. the fuel cell uses hydrogen and oxygen to produce electricityAcbad. Bbcad.Ccabd. Dcadb.34What does the underlined “stable” in the 4th paragraph mean?ASecure. BPowerful.CUnnatural. DUnchangeable.35The aim of the scientists at MIT in developing the new man-made leaves is to .Abuild up more power stations in the worldBprovide cheaper energy for developing countriesCoffer people in developing countries access to pure waterDgain a deeper understanding of the photosynthesis process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。Heres how yo-yo dieting affects your body and your mindYo-yo dieting, also known as weight cycling, occurs when a person experiences periods of weight loss followed by weight gain followed by weight loss and so on and so on. The effects of this weight cycling are significant, even when the weight lost and gained is as little as 10 pounds. 36.It can make you gain weightWhile dieting may help you lose a few pounds at first, it only works temporarily. Your body responds to the lack of calories by turning to lean muscle mass for energy. Once you have returned to your normal eating habits, the weight comes back on 37.38Yo-yo dieting may increase the risk for heart disease and sudden death in post-menopausal（绝经后期）women. Studies found that when normal-weight women experienced periods of weight cycling, they were 3.5 times more likely to have sudden death than women whose weight remained stable. In the same study, yo-yo dieting increased a womans risk of death by 66 percent.It can be damaging to your skinDermatologist (a doctor who studies and treats skin diseases) Robin Evans weighed in on the effect that yo-yo dieting has on the skin. “The up and down weight losses and gains can have harmful effects on the skin especially on the face with stretching and contracting the skin,” said Evans. 39.It plays games with your mindYo-yo dieting is hard on the body, 40.
