Killers of the Flower Moon is a sci-fi for staff in FBIB. Bear Town tells the story of a hockey teams growth.C. Homo Deus is as famous as Sapiens internationally.D. Exit West is a love story that will not be out of date.23. Where would you most probably find this text?A. On a website. B. In a magazine. C. In a brochure. D. In a book ad.BWhen I was three years old, I couldnt speak. It was a strange reality that none of the doctors I visited could understand.One day, I was shadowing my mother. She found herself looking in a mirror, and through it our eyes met. She began to speak to me through the reflection, and I slowly began to mimic（模仿）her mouths movements until I formed a word.It turned out Im deaf in my left ear, and have a slight problem in my right. Being hard of hearing has been difficult, but Ive never lived in a state of self-hating sorrow. Imagine being able to shut out all sound as you lay your head down to sleep by simply rolling over onto one side. Thats my reality when I sleep on my good ear, and it makes me feel like a superhero sometimes.People call my deaf side my bad ear, but when I wear my hearing aid, I have access to a range of features that some other deaf people dont. In cinemas, for example, with one click of a button I can enjoy a whole film as though it were whispered to me from the mouths of the actors.Owning a hearing aid hasnt always felt good, however. On the first day I got my aid, when I was eight, I took it to school for show-and-tell. As I explained how it worked to my classmates, a boy yelled out, Arent those for old men? At that moment, I felt different. It took a long time for me to get over that sense of being so unlike my peers.But its not just school kids who can make us deaf and hard-of-hearing people feel like burdens. Every video on social media that lacks subtitles（字幕）, for example, means an entire community of deaf people is unable to enjoy it. Completely deaf people are excluded from enjoying many movies too, as subtitles in cinemas are almost impossible to find.And with hearing aids costing around $2,500 each, it can be hard for many people to afford to be able to listen to the things that others take for granted. As for me, I can listen to music, enjoy films, and catch conversations - Im lucky. Im deaf, but I can still hear everything. Ive been blessed with wonderful life experiences, and I am human. And when it comes to sleeping, Im even superhuman.24How does the author view his hearing difficulty?AIts a disaster and causes him a lot of trouble.BIt helped him to live in his own world without being interrupted.CIt made him feel embarrassed in front of his classmates.DIt gave him a chance to experience something special.25What can be inferred from the passage about the author?AHe was born deaf.BThe hearing aid brings much convenience to his daily life.CHis family and classmates have supported him a lot.DHe is optimistic and helpful.26What is the authors attitude toward his life？Aexcited. Banxious. C grateful. Ddisappointed.27What is the authors main purpose in writing the article?ATo share his experience of treating a disadvantage with gratitude.BTo show how difficult life is for disabled people.CTo give advice on life to disabled people.DTo show the convenience a hearing aid could bring.CSomeone sent me an email urging me to acquire a lot more resources, suggesting that I could do so much more good if I had an 8 _or 9_ figure net income (净收入) instead of 6 like Ive been doing for years. He claimed to have acquired a great deal of wealth himself and found it highly beneficial to fueling his path with a heart.As I consider his suggestion, I find myself not having much clarity (清晰的思维) as to what Id do with 1 million or 10 million more money flowing through my life. I put so much attention on creativity, fulfillment, exploration, relationships, etc. that I find it difficult to intelligently imagine how more financial resources could provide extra fuel for that, except in small ways or in ways that arent particularly meaningful to me.Lately Ive been considering what it would be like to deliberately reduce my income for a while and see if I could live on much less, just for the experience. What if I capped my net personal income at $10,000 per year, for instance? That isnt such a big deal to me, though, since I already went through a period of low income like that during the 1990s, and I learned that I could still do what I love regardless of income.Ive never worked in a business environment the only job Ive ever had was working for $ 6/hour in a video game store while I was in college. So Ive never seen how larger operations allocate resources. Thats probably why I havent pushed myself to acquire more. As I mentioned in my book Money and Your Path With a Heart, my main financial goal in life was to make money irrelevant in my life.Im not interested in building an empire. What interests me is exploring personal growth and sharing what I learn along the way. In some ways I feel that acquiring and allocating more resources could become a big distraction. Im already doing what I want to be doing, so why risk distracting myself to acquire more resources, especially when I lack the idea about how I should treat such resources? I like having freedom and flexibility, and I dont really see how more resources would meaningfully improve that.28. Why did the man email the author?A. To urge the author to earn more money. B. To lend some money to the author.C. To share his opinion about wealth.D. To ask the author to fuel his path.29. Which of the following can describe the authors personality?A.Wealthy but hardhearted. B. Independent and cooperative.C. Unfortunate but positive. D. Optimistic and devoted.30. What does the underlined word “capped” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. Increased B. LimitedC. SpentD. Distributed31. The following are true EXCEPT _.A. the author might be a professional writerB.the author is interested in exploring his personal growthC. the author is good at designing video gamesD. the author might be a person who likes sharing his knowledgeDGoogles new camera, called Clips, is a small, smart device. It comes with a case that has a clip (夹子)，but its not designed to be worn on your clothing. Most interestingly, it uses artificial intelligence to take photography out of your hands so it can capture moments on its own.This roughly 2-inch by 2-inch camera, with a three-hour battery life and Gorilla Glass for toughness, is intended for candid moments, like when a child does something cute that may happen too quickly for you to pull out your smartphone.On board the Clips device, it uses machine learning algorithms (计算程序) to help capture scenes. Those algorithms include face recognition. “Once it learns that theres a face you see frequently, itll try to get nice photos of those faces,” said Juston Payne, the devices product manager. And they also want it to recognize facial expressions, which involved “training it to know what happiness looks like”. The Google team also trained it to recognize what not to shoot like when a childs hand is over the lens, or if it is tossed in a dark purse.The only way to see the images is by connecting the camera with your phone, as it has no screen for viewing or editing.Were people concerned it could seem strange? Yes, Payne admitted. But they said they addressed that by making it obvious what it is. A green light on the front signals that it is on. Besides, unlike a camera meant to monitor your home, it is not connected to the Internet.“This product is only possible because of the way that silicon has advanced” Payne said, noting that it was only in the past year or so that they could squeeze the technology down into a device this size. Going forward, were likely to get more assistance from the artificial intelligence packed into our apps and gadgets.32.What is the most outstanding feature of Clips?A. It allows of hands-free photography. B. It enables easy internet access.C.It is equipped with tough glass. D. It can be worn on your clothing.33. What does the underlined word “candid”, in Paragraph 2 mean?A. touching. B.briefC. unforgettable. D. embarrassing.34.What makes Clips a reality according to Juston Payne?A. The advance in technology. B.The popularity of the Internet.C. The rise of the smartphone industry. D. The reduction in the price of lens.35.What is the best title for the text?A. Artificial Intelligence in Everyday Life. B. New Gadgets in the Age of Apps.C. A New Digital Camera from Google. D. An Alternative Way to Photograph.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。After a long day at work, coming home is a breath of fresh air. Home is a comfortable place to sit back and relax. 36 Below are a number of things we can do to create a healthy home environment that will help to ease the workday stress and promote our physical and mental health.37 It may seem like a tiring thing to clean but there is a reason for doing so. We can remove dust by cleaning the house. Leaving layers of dust everywhere means that there is a build-up of dust. And where do these layers of dust go? Into our lungs.Making sure the rooms are full of sunlight is also important. We may not realize it but sunlight is an important part of our growth. We all know that sunlight promotes better working conditions. 38 Think about using a Parans system where sunlight does not reach. This technology gathers the sunlight by using solar panels(板). It can send out sunlight wherever we are.It is also a good idea to add more plants in our house. 39 They also give off oxygen, which can lower stress and improve our moods.Along the lines of being green, it can also be vital to think about what things we are bringing into the house.
