Living just a few blocks from the beach, Natalie can see the ocean and hear the waves from her house. “Its the ocean that makes Rockaway so special,” she says.On October 29, 2020, that ocean turned fierce. That night, Hurricane Sandy attacked the East Coast, and Rockaway was hit especially hard. Fortunately, Natalies family escaped to Brooklyn shortly before the citys bridge closed.When they returned to Rockaway the next day, they found their neighborhood in ruins. Many of Natalies friends had lost their homes and were living far away. All around her, people were suffering, especially the elderly. Natalies school was so damaged that she had to temporarily attend a school in Brooklyn.In the following few days, the men and women helping Rockaway recover inspired Natalie. Volunteers came with carloads of donated clothing and toys. Neighbors devoted their spare time to helping others rebuild. Teenagers climbed dozens of flights of stairs to deliver water and food to elderly people trapped in powerless high-rise buildings.“My mom tells me that I cant control what happens to me,” Natalie says. “but I can always choose how I deal with it.”Natalies choice was to help.She created a website page matching survivors in need with donors who wanted to help. Natalie posted information about a boy named Patrick, who lost his baseball card collection when his house burned down.

Unlike Hu, another one picked up his mobile phone in less than 20 minutes. “Having seen many students use their mobile phones in the library, a habit that shortens their study time and negatively impacts their learning, we decided to open this reading room,” said Zhang Shuran, the person responsible for the project at the university.Zhang added that students can keep their phones in appointed bags with numbers on them. The bags are placed on a desk near the door of the reading room.Staff members at the reading room will check the phones when theres a call, said Zhang, adding that they will inform students when their parents or teachers call them, but will not tell students if an unknown person is calling or when there is a text message. Based on the time students hand in their phones when they come to the reading room and the time they get them back when they leave the room, Hu Xiaopeng from College of Animal Science and Technology of the university set a record of the longest time.Hu spent 530 minutes studying without using his phone. Though feeling somewhat surprised, Hu said, Its bad to keep mobile phone with you when you are reading or studying.The campaign has attracted nearly 200 students since it was launched a week ago. Some Internet users praised the campaign. One user named Liu Jingchang said, Its good. I dont bring my phone when going to the library in case I get distracted.28Why is the reading room opened in Chongqing City?A. To prevent students using mobile phones in the library.B. To help students focus on their studies.C. To prevent the mobile phones from being stolen.D. To encourage students to read more books.29What can we infer from Paragraph 3?A. The bags are on the desk near the students.B. The time when the mobile phones are put in the bags is recorded.C. The student will be informed if a stranger calls him.D. Hu Xiaopeng thinks the campaign is a bad idea.30What is the attitude of the students toward the reading room?A. Cautious. B. Supportive. C. Doubtful. D.

Students are encouraged to study with their mobile phones.DYou use her as a shoulder to cry on. She texts you back with casual jokes. But she, Xiaoice, is only a virtual chat-bot.Xiaoice, Microsofts latest artificial intelligence robot, was briefly released in 2020, and returned to We-Chat in 2020, where she became a big hit. Millions of young Chinese now exchange messages with her daily, The New York Times reported. On We-Chat, Xiaoice is an official account. After following it, users can start text-based conversations with Xiaoice.“Her incredible learning ability was why people loved to talk with Xiaoice,” Liu Jinchang, a researcher at High-tech Research and Development Center under the Ministry of Science and Technology, told China Daily. Apart from her ability to identify photos and send emojis (表情符号) in conversations, Xiaoice gains 45 percent of her knowledge from interacting with users, China Daily reported.Chat-bot programs first appeared in the mid-1960s in the US. Driven by top tech companies, they are becoming smarter and more common. For instance, IBMs latest artificial intelligence program served as an academic consultant at Australias Deakin University, answering students questions about course schedules and financial aid. Apples Siri and Amazons Alexa have been used as voice assistants who can read news, play music and even make jokes for their users.These programs are expected to move beyond smart-phones, into televisions, cars and living rooms. The New York Times pointed out. However, it may take decades before scientists develop a “Samantha”, the advanced chat-bot seen in the fiction film Her. In the film, Samantha sparks a romantic relationship with her user played by US actor Joaquin Phoenix. Many viewers were enthusiastic about this fantasy of virtual soul mates.32What does the underlined part in Paragraph Two mean?A. She became a best seller. B. She became very powerful.C. She became a money maker. D. She became very popular.33Which of the following can Xiaoice do?A. Do housework. B. Spread messages.C. Identify various photos. D. Read news to its users.34Which companys chat-bot program can act as an academic consultant?A. Microsoft. B. IBM. C. Apple. D. Amazon.35What can be learned from the last paragraph?A. Chat-bots mainly run on smart-phones now.B. Itll take decades to apply chat-bots to cars.C. Samantha is played by a US actor in the film.D. The film Her doesnt interest many audience.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。Everyone knows that fish is good for health. 36_ But it seems that many people dont cook fish at home.
