That was an early reminder of the importance of being patient as a teacher. It also made me reflect on the language teachers that I have had over the years， ones that demonstrated a high level of patience and understanding that has shaped my language learning path. Moreover， it helped me to realize the importance of demonstrating patience in the classroom as it can be the difference between building someones confidence in a language or breaking down their confidence entirely.Living my life constantly in French is not easy but the people of Quebec are very patient.They repeat things several times and they are more than happy to wait while I find the correct words to express myself and find the correct word order.Its a learning process but with the patience of others， the process is slightly less nervous.At the end of the day， making mistakes shows you are trying and I think that is greatly appreciated by Quebecers.When I first arrived in Matane I kept getting headaches from having to concentrate all the time due to the language and even overhearing other peoples conversations was hard work! I had to keep reminding myself that it would take time， and two months later the headaches are a distant memory and my ears have become more tuned to their accent.The key is to be patient with yourself.24. According to Paragraph 2， what does the writer think is important as a teacher？ _A. Understanding.B. Patience.C. Confidence.D. Help.25.

Attractions of QuebecC. My Work Experience in QuebecD. Learn a Foreign Language with Patience【答案】24. B 25. D 26. C 27. A【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，作者讲述了在自己在马塔内当英语助教的两个月里，耐心以多种形式出现，给作者带来了很多惊喜。【24题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段 “Moreover， it helped me to realize the importance of demonstrating patience in the classroom as it can be the difference between building someones confidence in a language or breaking down their confidence entirely.可知”，此外，它帮助我认识到在课堂上展示耐心的重要性，因为这可能是建立某人对语言的信心或完全打破他们的信心之间的差异，由此可见，对老师来说，耐心是非常重要的，故B项正确。【25题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段“ I had just finished a session with two students and just as they were leaving the classroom， one of the students turned back and said， Thank you for your patience. That was an early reminder of the importance of being patient as a teacher.”可知，我刚和两个学生完成了一个课程，就在他们离开教室的时候，其中一个学生转过身来说谢谢你的耐心.，这是老师耐心的重要性的早期提醒，由此可见，作者首先注意到耐心对于倾听学生的欣赏很重要，故D项正确。【26题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段“Living my life constantly in French is not easy but the people of Quebec are very patient.”可知，可知， 在马塔内，当地人是说法语的，故C项正确。【27题详解】A.主旨大意题。通读全文，特别是根据第一段“Patience is a word that has appeared in many forms over the past two months.”可知，在我在马塔内当英语助教的两个月里，耐心以多种形式出现，给我带来了很多惊喜，故A项(耐心会带来惊喜)正确。【点睛】主旨大意题的难度较大，抓住文章主题句是关键，主题句一般会出现在第一段或最后一段，例如本篇第4题，根据第一段“Patience is a word that has appeared in many forms over the past two months.”可知，在我在马塔内当英语助教的两个月里，耐心以多种形式出现，给我带来了很多惊喜，包括一向自认不是一个耐心的人的我听到当地学生感谢我的耐心，当地人耐心地教我学习法语，以及最后我认识到学习语言的关键是要对自己有耐心，这些都给我带来了惊喜，故A项(耐心会带来惊喜)能概括出文章内容。CLet us all raise a glass to AlphaGo and the advance of artificial intelligence. AlphaGo，DeepMinds Go-playing AI，just defeated the best Go-playing human，Lee Sedol. But as we drink to its success. we should also begin trying to understand what it means for the future.The number of possible moves in a game of Go is so huge that. in order to win against a player like Lee. AlphaGo was designed to adopt a humanlike style of gameplay by using a relatively recent development-deep learning. Deep learning uses large data sets，“machine learning”algorithms （计算程序） and deep neural networks to teach the AI how to perform a particular set of tasks. Rather than programming complex Go rules and strategies into AlphaGo，DeepMind designers taught AlphaGo to play the game by feeding it data based on typical Go moves. Then，AlphaGo played against itself, tirelessly learning from its own mistakes and improving its gameplay over time. The results speak for themselves.Deep learning represents a shift in the relationship humans have with their technological creations. It results in AI that displays surprising and unpredictable behaviour. Commenting after his first loss，Lee described being shocked by an unconventional move he claimed no human would ever have made. Demis Hassabis. one of DeepMinds founders，echoed this comment：“Were very pleased that AlphaGo played some quite surprising and beautiful moves. ”Unpredictability and surprises areor can bea good thing. They can indicate that a system is working well，perhaps better than the humans that came before it. Such is the case with AlphaGo. However，unpredictability also indicates a loss of human control. That Hassabis is surprised at his creations behaviour suggests a lack of control in the design. And though some loss of control might be fine in the context of a game such as Go，it raises urgent questions elsewhere.How much and what kind of control should we give up to AI machines? How should we design appropriate human control into AI that requires us to give up some of that very control? Is there some AI that we should just not develop if it means any loss of human control? How much of a say should corporations，governments，experts or citizens have in these matters? These important questions, and many others like them，have emerged in response，but remain unanswered. They require human，not human - like，solutions.So as we drink to the milestone in AI, lets also drink to the understanding that the time to answer deeply human questions about deep learning and AI is now.28. What contributes most to the unconventional move of AlphaGo in the game?A. The capability of self-improvement.B. The constant input of large data sets.C. The installation of deep neutral networks.D. The knowledge of Go rules and strategies.29. A potential danger of Al is _.A. the loss of human controlB. the friendly relationshipC. the fierce competitionD. the lack of challenge30. How should we deal with the unpredictability of AI?A. We should stop AI machines from developing even further.B. We should call on the government to solve these problems for us.C. We should rely on ourselves and come up with effective solutions.D. We should invent even more intelligent machines to solve everything.31. Whats the authors attitude towards this remarkable advance in AI?A. Supportive.B. Optimistic.C. Doubtful.D. Cautious.【答案】28. A 29. A 30. C 31. D【解析】这是一篇夹叙夹议的文章。这篇文章作者结合人工智能AlphaGo战胜韩国棋手李世石的围棋比赛展开，阐述了AI的运作原理以及作者的思考【28题详解】推理判断题。答案定位在第二段Then，AlphaGo played against itself, tirelessly learning from its own mistakes and improving its gameplay over time. The results speak for themselves.可知，AI的学习过程是通过不断和自己比赛，吸取经验获得自我提高，故选A。【29题详解】细节理解题。答案定位在第四段However，unpredictability also indicates a loss of human control.可知，不可预测性也表明失去了人类的控制，故选A。【30题详解】推理判断题。答案定位第五段They require human，not human - like，solutions.可知，他们需要人类，只有人类自己努力才最可能找出解决方案，故选C。【31题详解】细节理解题。答案定位在最后一段So as we drink to the milestone in AI, lets also drink to the understanding that the time to answer deeply human questions about deep learning and AI is now.可知作者对于AI的先进性持谨慎态度，让时间来证明这一切。A. Supportive.支持的； B. Optimistic.乐观的；C. Doubtful.可疑的；D. Cautious.谨慎的，故选D。DThis years flu season is pretty scary. To try to minimize the effects, public officials are still urging anyone who hasnt yet gotten their flu shot to get one as soon as possible. However, even if every single person got a shot in the arm, the vaccine(疫 苗)with its excellent 36 percent effectivenesswould not prevent everyone from getting infected with the annoying virus. Knowledge is power, so heres what goes on in your body when you come down with the flu.The influenza virus primarily attacks your nose, throat, and the tubes that lead to your lungs. But the flu is so much more than that. Your muscles ache, your head hurts, and your appetite goes down, among other things. To our surprise, almost all of these symptoms have less to do with the virus itself than with your immune( 免 疫 的)response to them. Unfortunately, the very defense you have in place to get rid of the flu is the reason you feel so painful when you recover.The virus usually enters through your mouth, typically by way of your hands . But it takes a few days for symptoms to set in. While this process might cause some harm to your nose and throat, its nothing major, and nothing like the symptoms that typically accompany a bad or even mild case of the flu.The real fun starts when your immune system begins to fight. Your immune system comes in two parts: the innate system and the adaptive. The innate immune system is essentially an all-purpose tool. As soon as your body senses the presence of any injury or invader , the innate immune system launches into action by producing tiny proteins called cytokines and chemokines. The cytokines reproduce almost immediately and start to attack the virus. This increase in immune cells creates a serious inflammation( 炎 症 ) throughout the body. But the worst is still to come.Meanwhile, the chemokines work with the adaptive immune system to help create T cells. These cells are a special type of white blood cell that works in a much more specific way: They find the influenza virus, identify whats special about it, and create something unique on their surface that finds and destroys similar invaders.32. What can we infer from Paragraph 1?A. All the vaccine is not effective.B. No one can avoid catching this years flu.C. This years flu is the most serious one in recent years.D. Public health officials have to use a gun when necessary.33. Why many parts of your body suffer while youre recovering from a flu?A. Because recovery from illness is painful.B. Because your immune system is working against your defense system.C. Because your body is fighting hard against the flu.D. Because the influenza virus attacks your nose, throat and other parts.34. The underlined word “fun” in Paragraph 4 can be replaced by .A. joyB. battleC. actionD. program35. Whats the main idea of Paragraph 4?A. The fight between innate immune system and the adaptive.B. The categories of immune systemC. The way immune system works.D. The process of the development of immune system.【答案】32. A 33. C 34. B 35.
