Having grown up a city kid, my father, Nicholas Denaro, believed that grass was not just to look at, but that children were meant to play on it. We played games and badminton there. A white fence separated our backyard from a small wood. My friends and I jumped the fence and climbed trees.My father had the most amazing hand. He could fix anything. He gave those amazing hands to his son, my younger brother, Frank, who also became handy around the house. But my father saved his green fingers for me. He grew flowers, tomatoes, strawberries and figs and he shared his love of gardening with me.Fourteen years ago, I went to a local nursery and purchased a fig tree for Dad for Fathers Day. My mother, Bridget Denaro, called it the best gift I could have given him. He planted it exactly in the middle of the front yard.He loved that tree and enjoyed delicious figs every year, except just after Sandy hit in 2012. He was so disappointed when cold weather just after the superstorm froze all the remaining figs.In 2015, my father died of aspirating pneumonia(吸入性肺炎) at 97. We sold our family home of 61 years last year. We left behind Dads tree, full of figs waiting to ripen. We briefly considered taking it with us, but decided that his Fathers Day fig tree belonged in Elmont. The new owners generously allowed me to take some branches so that I could have a precious reminder of my much-loved father and the Elmont home.24.What can we learn about the author from Paragraph 1 ?A .She grew up in a city.

By the year 2050 that number is expected to rise to 3 billion tons. The World Bank estimates that the largest amount of trash today, about 44 percent, is plastic. But we often have to buy packaged goods. And often that packaging is made of plastic.Now, that may be changing. A new environmentally friendly shopping model was recently launched at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. This shopping model, called Loop, aims to replace throwaway containers with reusable ones.Loop is the idea of TerraCycle, an American-based recycling company. Its chief, Tom Szaky, told them Associated Press (AP) that removing plastics from the ocean is not enough. He said. "The point is to get away from single-use packages. Loop is the future of shopping. But it comes from an idea of the past. He compared it to the “milkman model” of the 1950s in the United States. Back the en, someone brought milk to your doorstep in glass bottles and then left with empty bottles. These could be cleaned and used again. The result is zero waste. Jennifer Morgan from the environmental non-profit organization Greenpeace also joined in the discussion about Loop at Davos. She said, "Greenpeace welcomes the aim of the Loop Alliance to move away from throwaway culture and disposability. "But Morgan questioned whether companies worldwide were ready to change their business models. Loop is set to launch later this year in three eastern U. S states, and also in Paris, France and some of the the surrounding areas. Then Loop plans to expand to the U. S. West Coast,Canada and Britain by the end of this year or 2020.28.

The worlds environmental issue. D. The concerns of future shopping.DClaude Monet, Pablo Picasso and Leonardo da Vinci . the art world has never lacked talent. And now, a new painter is ready to join the list, although this one isnt even human.Next month, the auction house Christies Prints and Multiples will make history by offering the first piece of art work created by artificial intelligence (AI) for sale. The painting is a portrait of a man called Edmond De Belamy, and is expected to be sold for up to $10,000.The work, which features a man with a mysterious look on his face, was created by software developed by the French art group Obvious. Laugero-Lasserre, an art collector, called the work "grotesqueand amazing at the same time". This isnt the first example of AI-produced artwork, as AI has already been used to write poems and compose songs. However, many people doubt whether it should be called art at all.According to Russian writer Leo Tolstroy (1828 -1910), art is about creating emotion (情感). Its "a means of joining people together in the same feelings," he once said.So, if the emotion behind art is what makes it, the ability to create and use tools is what makes human beings different from other species. And as a tool itself, the AI technology used to create the portrait is the result of a lot of effort made by several designers. Together, they "fed" the AI a huge collection of paintings from the 14th to the 18th centuries, until it was able to work out how to make similar paintings of its own.The introduction of AI art could be the beginning of a new artistic movement. However, not everyone is ready to welcome these high-tech artists just yet."The human mind is whats behind the AI technology. And the human mind is not a cold, hard fact," said Oscar Schwartz, a professor of AI. "Rather, it is something thats created with our opinions and something that changes over time."32.Why does the author mention the artists in Paragraph 1?A .To introduce their works. B .To make an advertisement.C .To present a piece of news. D .To focus the topic on the AI.33.What does the underlined would "grotesque" in Paragraph 3 mean?A. Strange. B. Simple. C. Messy. D. Understandable.34. What can we learn about the AI-produced artwork according to Paragraph 5?A. It comes from human works.B. It shows human ability to create.C .It expresses human feelings effectively.D .It is beyond the imagination of humans.35. What does Oscar Schwartz think the human mind is compared with the AI ?A . Limited. B. Decisive. C. Useless. D. Meaningful.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。Have you ever noticed that when your friend likes something, you like it，too.
