As a single parent, I tried to do my best to talk to him, but the more I tried, the more he pulled away. When his report card arrived during his junior year, it said that he had been absent 95 times from classes and had six failing grades for the year. At this rate he would never graduate. I sent him to the school adviser, and I even begged him. Nothing worked. One night I felt so powerless that I got down on my knees and pleaded for help. “Please God, I cant do anything more for my son. Im at the end of my rope. Im giving the whole thing up to you. ” I was at work when I got a phone call. A man introduced himself as the headmaster. “I want to talk to you about Karls absences. ” Before he could say another word, I chuked up and all my disappointment and sadness over Karl came pouring out into the ears of this stranger. “I love my son but I just dont know what to do. Ive tried everything to get Karl to go back to school and nothing has worked. Its out of my hands. ” For a moment there was silence on the other end of the line. The headmaster seriously said, “Thank you for your time, ”and hung up. Karls next report card showed a marked improvement in his grades. Finally, he even made the honor roll. In his fourth year, I attended a parent-teacher meeting with Karl. I noticed that his teachers were astonished at the way he had turned himself around. On our way home, he said, “Mum, remember that call from the headmaster last year? ” I nodded. “That was me. I thought Id play a joke but when I heard what you said, it really hit me how much I was hurting you. Thats when I knew I had to make you proud. ”24.

CWeve heard of robots and AI (Artificial Intelligence) taking human jobs , but I bet mayors(市长) dont really think their jobs can be threatened any time soon . They were wrong , and the AI running for the mayor of a Tokyo district was clear proof of that .AI cant legally run for high-ranking public management positions yet , but one mayoral candidate from Tama City , Tokyo , intended to maximize the use of artificial intelligence in running city affairs . He was running his campaign(竞选运动) as “AI Mayor” . Basically , he was suggesting replacing human public officials with AI and having them collect city data and create fair and balanced policies that will benefit everyone .“ For the first time in the world , AI will run in an election ,” human candidate Michihito Matsuda announced on Twitter. “ Artificial Intelligence will change Toma City . With the birth of an AI Mayor , we will conduct balanced politics .”The AI Mayor was campaigning very much like its human competitors . Posters were shown all over Tama City and campaign trucks were having blaring out (大声鸣笛) promises of an AI utopia (乌托邦) and asking for support .Some people called Michihito Matsudas campaign a stunt(噱头) , as a human would still be the one legally in charge . However , others said that they were excited about the future of AI running things in the background , adding that it had to be a better choice .28. Whats the advantage of the AI Mayor according to Michihito Matsuda ?A. Maximizing the use of AI . B. Replacing human officials .C. Creating balanced policies . D. Bringing him beneficial effects .29.

AI Replaces Human in Management D. The Patterns of AI Management DMaking beer on the moon might seem like a pipe dream to many , but for a group of students from the University of California at San Diego , there is a chance to take their research beyond Earths surface .The Lab2Moon competition , held by TeamIndus , is offering students the chance to secure a spot on the TeamIndus rocket this year .Taking craft beer to the next level , the students want to test whether its possible for yeast (酵母) to work and create beer on the moon . However , they believe the experiment is not just a creative concept for astronauts , its also important for the development of drugs and yeast-containing foods , like bread .“ The idea started out with a few laughs among a group of friends ,” said Neeki Ashari , a fifth-year bioengineering student at UC San Diego . “ We all appreciate the craft of beer . When we heard that there was an opportunity to design an experiment that would go up on Indias moonlander , we thought we could combine our hobby with the competition by focusing on the practicality（可行性）of yeast in outer space .”The preparation work for the beer - up to the stage of adding yeast - will all be done on Earth , and rather than separating the fermentation (发酵) and carbonation stages of making beer , the team plans to combine them . This removes the need to release CO accumulated in the process , which may result in cleanliness and safety issues out in space .If selected , Team Original Gravity will be the first to make beer in outer space , and the fermentation will take place in a vessel(容器) no bigger than a soda can .All teams competing for the place will showcase their ideas in Bangalore , India , in March .Sadly , you wont be enjoying moon beer in your local craft beer bar anytime soon , as no samples will be brought back . However , this small experiment could provide important data on just how practical it is for us to make and create our own resources on other planets and moons by learning how consumables(消费品) behave in different environments . 32. How did the students feel when they got the chance to design the experiment ?A. Excited .B. Nervous .C. Confident .D. Casual .33. What does the underlined word “ This ” in Paragraph 6 refer to ?A. The mixing of two stages . B. Adding yeast on Earth .C. The preparation work on Earth . D. Fermentation and carbonation .34. What can we learn about the experiment from the passage ?A. It has been designed based on similar experiments .B. Its quite competitive compared with other designs .C. Its design has already been approved by TeamIndus .D. Its process was adapted to make it safer and greener .35. What does the author think of the students idea ?A. It seems like a pipe dream . B. Its extremely complicated .C. Its meaningful and hopeful . D. Its creative but impractical . 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可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Take Care of Your Spine （脊柱） The spine stands at the center of your health , providing your body with structure and support .
