W: No, I hate driving. I wish I could have a self-driving car.

M: I guess we might not need human drivers much longer. Experts are predicting that robots will take over 30% of our jobs within 10 years. Actually, robots can do a lot nowadays. They can do many difficult jobs like analyzing data and translating documents. They make fewer mistakes than humans and they don’t get tired.

W: What dangerous jobs can robots do?

M: Robots can work in the areas that cannot be reached by humans. For example, in Japan, robots have already been used in rescue work. Robots can even go in space to do scientific work.

W: What if we are completely replaced by robots?

M: I don’t think that’s very likely. Some jobs will never be completely taken over by robots, such as teaching and acting. I think we should take the opportunity to learn new skills and view robots as partners.

W: I agree.

【題目】 I believe that my actions show my beliefs, not my words.

I wrote a letter to my kids a few years ago. It’s three pages long, and it sums up my life experience of four decades. By the time they reach adulthood, they will have heard most of their father’s advice in that letter: live in the moment, do not attach yourself to physical things, treat others the way you would like to be treated, etc. I sealed the letter in a white envelope, and wrote instructions that nobody should open it unless something horrible happened to me.

As a police officer, I have seen life disappear in an instant. I realize that could happen to me at any time. Yet knowing that letter is there in my locker makes me more comfortable with my own death.

Every day, when I open my locker, I see the letter. It makes me aware that I should be careful at work, and show my children and the people I have connection with that I try to practice everything I have written. If that day comes and my children finally read the letter, I hope that because of my actions, they will take my written beliefs to heart and improve upon my example.

But for me, it’s not enough to write down my beliefs. I try to be the best person I can be every day-even in very difficult circumstances. I am more successful some days than others, but sometimes I curse too much. Sometimes I am cynical, unwilling to believe that people have good and honest reasons for doing something. I also get stressed and upset, yelling at my kids sometimes, and sometimes I am not as loving or as sympathetic as I should be. In fact, I am far from perfect, but I hope my children will eventually realize that perfection is an illusion. What really matters is that, instead of just writing down our beliefs, we all take action to be the best humans we can be.

【1】Which of the following can best describe the author?

A.Humorous.B.Interesting.

C.Selfless.D.Considerate.

【2】Why did the author open the locker to see the letter every day?

A.He wanted to confirm his beliefs.B.The letter served as a reminder.

C.He kept adding something new to it.D.His kids asked him to check it.

【3】Which can replace the underlined word “cynical” in the last paragraph?

A.Doubtful about others’ motivations.B.Curious about everything around.

C.Worried about his future life.D.Unsatisfied about his profession.

【4】What is the author’s understanding of life?

A.Parents should care for children.B.To become a successful father.

C.To be better today than yesterday.D.Bad guys deserve to be punished.

Three boys and three girls were going to the beach. When they boarded the bus, they were carrying sandwiches and wine, dreaming of golden beaches. Suddenly, they noticed Vingo. He sat in front of them, eyes fixed upon a photo, completely in silence.

Deep into the night, the bus pulled into Howard Johnson’s, a service area, and everybody got off except Vingo. The young people began to wonder about him. When they came back, one of the girls sat beside him and introduced herself. “Want some wine?” she said. He smiled and took a swig from the bottle. He thanked her and became silent again.

The next morning, they awoke outside another Howard Johnson’s, and this time Vingo went in. The girl insisted that he join them. He ordered black coffee and some cookies. When they returned, the girl sat with Vingo again. After a while, slowly and painfully, he began his story. He had been in prison for the past four years, and now he was going home.

“Are you married?”

“I don’t know.”

“You don’t know?” she said.

“Well, when I was in prison I wrote to my wife,” he said, “I told her that I was going to be away for a long time, and that if she couldn’t stand it, if the kids kept asking questions, and if it hurt her too much, she could just forget me. I’d understand. ‘Get a new guy.’ I said. She’s a wonderful woman. I told her she didn’t have to write me. And she didn’t. Not for three and a half years.”

“And you’re going home now, not knowing?”

“Yeah. Well, last week, when I was sure the parole (假釋) was coming through, I wrote her again. We used to live in Brunswick, and there’s a big oak (橡樹) tree just as you come into town. I told her that if she didn’t have a new man and if she’d take me back, she should put a yellow handkerchief on the tree, and I’d get off and come home．If she didn’t want me, forget it — no handkerchief and I’d go on through.”

“Wow,” the girl exclaimed, “wow.”

She told the others, and soon all of them were in it.

Steve was the most amazing person in all of Minneapolis, and he was my cousin. By the age of 19, Steve was a star baseball player at the University of Minnesota. I wanted to be exactly like him. So when Steve asked me to go with him on a spring fishing trip in northern Minnesota, I was excited!

After planning the trip, we gathered clothes and supplies, and began our great adventure. We reached the Superior National Forest in northern Minnesota by early evening. On our way to the campsite, Steve pointed to a small house faraway in one of the mountains, saying that it was the ranger station (護(hù)林站) where the forester worked.

Finally, after a long walk, we reached the campsite and set up the camp as the sun was setting. Steve knew all the tricks of an experienced wilderness camper. After we gathered enough wood from the forest, he started the campfire using only stone and steel — no matches. For supper we feasted on freeze — dried beef, wild rice and pea soup. I ate greedily after all that work.

Tired enough, we climbed into our sleeping bags early and talked about our plans for fishing the next day. We were still talking quietly when a sudden north wind picked up；the temperature dropped and it began to snow. Steve found a way to increase the temperature inside the tent. He dragged a log from the forest to the opposite side of the campfire. Then he wrapped aluminum foil (鋁箔) around the log. The heat from the fire reflected off the foil and into the tent. Soon images of lake fish were filling my dreams.

The snow had stopped, but sometime later a powerful wind must have kicked up the flames of our dying fire. I was suddenly awakened by Steve. Our tent was on fire. Frightened, I ran out of the tent immediately. The tent collapsed 倒塌) with Steve inside. Without any thought of endangering myself, I reached into the burning tent and pulled him to the icy lake. Fortunately, we were not seriously hurt.

Paragraph 1:

Later, as we stood by the burning tent to keep warm, we considered our difficult situation.

【題目】 You can take fish oil. You can invest in a language class. or some hours of exercise every week. There are countless ways to improve your memory and cognitive functioning(認(rèn)知功能). You know, the brain-training industry is expected to reach $ 8 billion by 2022. But the cheapest, easiest and most time-tested way to sharpen your brain is right in front of your face. That's why moms are always on their kids' cases to turn off the TV and pick up a good book. But there's something astonishing about how it can make it.

The most basic effect occurs in the area associated with language reception. Processing written material - from the letters to the words to the sentences to the stories themselves - takes your attention to interpret the information. Typically, when you read, you have more time to think, judge and even criticize. And the very nature of such an ordinary activity encourages the brain to work harder and better, deepening your understanding of your course and your future career.

And the benefits of reading continue long after you've put down that great book. It is clarified that some of those benefits last for five days. We call that a shadow activity, almost like a muscle memory - that means, even if you are a retired sportsman now, some skills can still be stored in your memory. That means the language part of the brain would get a workout from reading.

What if you are a poor, or even a dyslexic, reader who feels as if you’ll never be able to read enough to get these benefits? A book can fix that problem too! According to a study, one hundred hours of remedial(補(bǔ)救的) reading classes significantly improved the quality of the brains' white matter. where information is processed. So turn off your phone and your computer, set aside a good hour or two - and just read on a regular basis.

【1】The text is mainly written to

A.show the power of knowledgeB.persuade people to read regularly

C.The retired sportsmen have good memories.D.Reading a lot is beneficial to one' s muscles.

【4】For whom is the text mainly intended?

A.Parents.B.Office workers.

【題目】 The Mogao Caves of Dunhuang, a treasure house of art of China, has been spanning over 1,000 years. The art inside here covers more than ten major genres, such as architecture, stucco sculpture, wall paintings, silk paintings, calligraphy woodblock printing, embroidery, literature, music and dance, and popular entertainment. But all these only existed because of one man’s vision.

In 366 A.D., a monk named Le Zun looked across the river at dawn and saw a thousand Buddhas appear on the golden cliff face of Mingsha mountain along the old Silk Road. The caves were then built by monks and mostly sponsored by people such as wealthy merchants, foreign dignitaries, as well as Chinese emperors.

But when trade in the Silk Road stopped, Dunhuang was soon forgotten and eventually, the Mogao caves were abandoned. The site however was still used as a place of worship by the local people of the 20th century when there was renewed awareness in its presence once more.

Most of the discoveries came from a Chinese Taoist monk named Wang Yuanlu who appointed himself as the guardian. The caves at that time were badly ignored, but Monk Wang recognized their value and instituted a program of restoration, funded by whatever donations he could gather.

He then made one of the great discoveries in Chinese archaeology: an amazing cache, of over 50,000 documents and paintings, which had been hidden in Mogao Cave #17. The cave #17 came to be known as the Library Cave, which was walled up sometime early in the 11th century. A number of theories have been proposed as the reason for sealing the cave. One theory was that the cave had become a waste storeroom for precious, damaged and used documents and holy equipment and then sealed perhaps when the place came under threat. Another suggestion is that the cave was simply used as a book storehouse for documents which accumulated over a century and a half, then sealed up when it became full. Others suggested that the monks hurriedly hid the documents in advance of an attack by invaders.

【1】What is the second paragraph mainly about?

A.The legend of Mogao Caves.B.The end of the old Silk Road.

C.The discovery of Mogao Caves.D.The development of the Silk Road.

【2】What did Wang Yuanlu do to restore the caves?

A.He evaluated their value.B.He raised donations in different ways.

C.He sent guards to protect them.D.He persuaded government to do repairs.

【3】What does “walled up” in the last paragraph mean?

A.Sealed.B.Built.

C.Hidden.D.Discovered.

【4】Why is Mogao Cave #17 considered a great discovery?

A.It used to be a library for monks.B.It stored valuable historical materials.

C.It had a history of over 1000 years.D.It was deserted for mysterious reasons.
