But as I began to grow older, this changedAll this happened on the Bike Safety Day. It is supposed to be a fun day at school when all of us kids bring our bikes to school and the school provides us with the opportunity to ride outside and learn proper bike safety. Sounds like fun, right? No. In fact, it caused me to panic. What was I going to say when my friends asked me about my training wheels?With the pressure of everyone seeing my training wheels, I determined to let them go. This was the first big change Id ever made on my ownI went to my parents and told them all about my dilemma. They were more than happy to help. We went outside and got my bike. Instead of running away and hiding behind, I stood in front of my bike and took great pride in my decision as my dad removed the training wheelsI got on and steadied myself. My heart raced but my feet and hands were calm. My dad started to push before my feet even moved and suddenly I was off. The fear faded away and a relaxed mind came into its place. It was crazy to think how quickly I learned something that took so long for me to even try！My confidence soared(猛涨).This was going to be the start of a brand new world for me.

The policy was one of several new principles aimed at guiding the companys development and sale of AI technology and tools The principles were announced after, more than 4,000 Google employees signed a document calling for the company to cancel an AI agreement, known as Project Maven, with the U.S. Department of Defense. Kirk Hanson is director of the Markkula Center for Applied Ethics at Santa Clara University in California. The censer examines how ethics can be used as guidelines for technology development. He decided that the protest by Google employees against the U.S. military agreement was based on fears: that AI technology could lead to the creation of weapons which might cause disasters to humans. “If you have artificial intelligence which identifies targets and automatically launches(发射)weapons, you have an autonomous weapon. Just as with driverless vehicles, autonomous weapon systems may not be as safe as their supporters promise. We should be more concerned about how an autonomous weapon might make a mistake. Is that artificial intelligence targeting system as good as we think it is? And until we have trust that those systems will not make mistakes, were going to keep skeptical about the use of artificial intelligence.”A top Department of Defense official was asked about the use of autonomous weapons during an event last year at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington: Air Force Gen. Paul J. Selva, vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said such systems should never be used to replace human commanders.Google chief Pichai said the company does not plan to stop providing AI technology for all military uses. He said Google will still seek government projects in areas such as military training, Internet security and search and rescue.28.What new policy has Google announced about its AI technology?A.

They will continue to cooperate in other areas.DMosquitoes have an extraordinary ability to target humans far away and fly straight to their unprotected skin. Regrettably, mosquitoes can do more than cause an itchy(发痒的）wound. Some mosquitoes spread several serious diseases, including Dengue, yellow fever and malaria.Over one million people worldwide die from these diseases each year. New research nowshows how mosquitoes choose who to bite.Mosquitoes need blood to survive. They are attracted to human skin and breath. They smell the carbon dioxide gas, which all mammals breathe out. This gas is the main way for mosquitoes to know that a warm-blooded creature is nearby.But mosquitoes also use their eyes and sense of touch. Michael Dickinson is a professor at the California Institute of Technology. His research shows how these small insects, with even smaller brains, use three senses to find a blood meal.Michael Dickinsons team used plumes(羽状物)a material that rises into the air of carbon dioxide gas into a wind tunnel. They then used cameras to record the mosquitoes. The insects followed the plume.Then, the scientists placed dark objects on the lightercolored floor and walls of thetunnel. Mr. Dickinson said, at first, the mosquitoes showed no interest in the objects at all.“What was quite striking and quite surprising is that the mosquitoes fly back and forth for hours. These are hungry females and they completely ignore the objects on the floor and wall of the tunnel. But the moment they get a hit of CO2，they change their behavior quite obviously and now would become attracted to these little visual blobs (斑点）.”This suggested to the researchers that a mosquitos sense of smell is more important in the search for food. Once mosquitoes catch a smell of a human or animal, they also followvisual signals.32.What do mosquitoes mainly use to find their targets? A. Sense of smell.B. Sense of touch.C. Sense of sight.D. Smart brains.33. The first response of the mosquitoes to the objects in the experiment is_.

How Do Mosquitoes Survive?B. Why Do Mosquitoes Need Blood?C. How Do Mosquitoes Choose to Bite You?D. Why Do Mosquitoes Attack the Human Being?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。Feeling Phone-overwhelmed(压倒一切的)?Many people are feeling"phone-overwhelmed", longing for a "simpler time" when smartphones didnt exist. Actually you dont necessarily need to flush your brand new iPhone down the toilet or vow(发誓) to never, ever touch again. Things dont have to be that black or white. 36_ Here are a few simple steps!Make a plan. To earn a college degree, you select specific classes happening at specific times and you attend them. This keeps you on track, moving steadily towards your goal. 37_ Choose specific times to check texts, social media updates, and so on, and then do your best to stick to the plan. Create phone-routines that help you to create the kind of day(and life)that you want.Enjoy the sound of silence to the fullest.If your phone is continually bleeping and pinging every time something happens, its going to be tough for you to stay focused-youll be tempted to check in and see whats up!

That way you can rest easy, knowing you wont miss something truly urgent.39_ For many couples and families, dinnertime is the only time of the day when everyone is gathered together in one place. Make dinner a special time without technology distractions. No phones at the table. If people get restless or bored, start an interesting conversation by playing a question game.Ask yourself,“What am I desiring right now?”When you feel the urge to check your phone, and you dont really need to, pause for moment. 40_ Do you seek out company, entertainment or inspiration? Whatever you want, see if you can find a non-phone-related way to satisfy yourself. Go for a jog, listen to music or pay a visit to a friends house to say "hi".
