never forget his 13th birthday,not because of a gift or a party,but fire.“It made merealize how valuable life is,”said Alex,a seventh grader atMonroeDemonstrationSchoolinTulsa,Oklahoma.On April 18,Alex and many other kids from his school were riding home on a school bus when they suddenlysaw smoke coming from the bus engine.“It was jaw-dropping,”he told reporters.By the time Alex and some other kids made it out the bus back door,the bus was already on fire.And someof their schoolmates were still inside.So he and some of the other older kids took action.“One little kid was slowing everyone down with his big backpack,”eighth grader Destiny Fain said,“so I got itoff and threw it to the side and helped to make sure all the little kids werent fighting or pushing.”As that was going on,sixth grader Marketez Doyle-Smith reportedly helped another classmate who hadtrouble in breathing because of the smoke.“We saw our friend lying on the ground,”he said,“so we took ourshirts off and waved them to get him some air to breathe.”Marketez also reportedly stopped a younger kid trying to get back on the bus to search for something hedleft behind.“Were all a family,”he told reporters.“So I went back to help the little kid.”Finally everyone made it off safely,thanks to Alex,Destiny,Marketez and several other kids.By later that day,they were already being called heroes.“I really dont see it as being a hero,”Alex said,according to The World.“Isee it as the right thing to dohelping others before you help yourself.”1.What happened on Alex s way home?A.The school bus was on fire suddenly.B.There was a party for Alexs birthday.C.He received a gift from his classmate.D.Some classmates quarreled with each other.2.By saying Were all a family.”Marketez probably meantA.Were brothers in the same family.B.Its our duty to help each other.C.Were classmates in the same class.D.The thing left on the bus is mine.3.According to the last paragraph,Alex thought that heA.was not a brave student.B.had the right to do anything.C.had just done what he should do.D.hated to be called a hero by others.BIve been putting my passport to good use lately.I use it asa coaster and to level unsteady table legs.It makesan excellent cat toy.Welcome to the pandemic(疫情)of disappointments.Canceled trips or ones never planned in case theywould be canceled.Family reunions,study-abroad years,lazy beach vacations.Poof.Gone.Ruined by a tiny virus,the list of countries where our passports are not welcome is long.It is not natural for us to be this sedentary(定居的).Travel is in our genes.For most of the time our specieshas existed,weve lived as nomadic(游牧的)hunter-gatherers.But what if we cant move?Whats a traveler to do?There are ways to answer that question.Despair,though,is not one of them.We are an adaptive species.We can tolerate brief periods of forced sedentariness.We pass the days glancingthrough old travel journals and Instagram posts.We gaze at souvenirs.All this helps.For a while.Then,what hopedo we have?I think hope lies in the very nature of travel.Travel involves wishful thinking.It demands a leap of faith,and ofimagination,to board a plane for some faraway,land.Travel is one of the few activities we engage in not knowingthe outcome and are drunk in that uncertainty.Nothing is more forgettable than the trip that goes exactly asplanned.Thats one reason why I have faith in travels future.In fact,Id argue travel is an essential activity.Its notessential the way hospitals and grocery stores are essential.Travel is essential the way books and hugs areessential.Food for the soul.Right now,were between courses,enjoying where weve been,expecting where wellgo.Maybe itsZanzibarand maybe its the campground down the road that youve always wanted to visit.4.From the first paragraph we learn that the author is _.A.desperateB.humorousC.boredD.worried5.From the authors perspective,whats the point of travel?A.To feel hopeful.B.To make a wish.C.To take adventures.D.To broaden horizons.6.How is the passage mainly developed?A.By showing evidences.B.By providing examples.C.By making comparisons.D.By interpreting opinions.7.What does the passage mainly talk about?A.Where to go for a trip.B.Why people need to travel.C.How to fight the pandemic.D.What people should do at home.CBabies who frequently communicate with their caregivers using eye contact and vocalisations(发声)at theage of one are more likely to develop greater languages skills by the time they reachtwo,according to newresearch.In the study,researchers looked at 11-and 12-month-od babies vocalisations.gestures and gazebehaviours,and at how their caregivers responded to them.To measure he interactions,the researchers videoedinfants(婴儿)and caregiver at home,and asked them to play as usual.They took those recordings back to theuniversityThe scientists then used statistical models to find that the best predictor of vocabulary at 24 months waswhen infants were seen to use vocalsatioms while looking at their caregivers face when they were about a yearold.The benefits were even greater when these interactions were followed by responses from the caregiver.The statistics showed that at 19 months,children had an average of about 100 words.Those who exhibited thebeneficial interactive behaviour earlier in life were seen to have an average of about 30 extra words.The message of this paper is thatitis the result of a joint effort;noticing what your child is attending to andtalking to them about it will support their language development.said McGillion,a co-author of the work.The joy of this message is that that can happen in any context.across any part of your day.Its notsomething that requires special equipment or even lots of time.I can happen when youre doing the laundry,forexamplewhen youre taking out the socks,you can talk about socks.in the park,in the car,at mealtimes,atbathtimes.This finding can be used in any context,added McGillion.This is a developmental snapshot in the first year of life,but children are constantly growing and changingand so are their behaviours.It would be interesting to look at these sorts of behaviours again as children progressthrough the second year of life to see whats happening there,said Donnellan,the lead author on the study.8.How did the researchers get the findings?A.By interacting with babies.B.By asking babies to vocalize.C.By analyzing relevant recordings.D.By referring to the previous statistics.9.What does he underlined word itin Paragraph 5 mean?A.Infants eye contact.B.Infants larger

difficult to copy.D.Its interesting to video.11.What might further studies be on?A.Childrens academic progress.B.Childrens growing environment.C.Childrens potential physical development.D.Childrens behaviours across more age ranges.DThe Rise of Voice TechnologyVoice technology has come a long way.Just a few years ago,it would have been unusable.But now,thosewho follow the technology know that it has got considerably better.Writing with your voice raises several interesting questions.How difficult is it actually?Human speechinvolves a lot more starting and stopping with errors and the need for repairing broken sentences than you maythink.Even gifted speakers make mistakes.To turn the spoken word into reasonable writing requires lots ofplanning.Youll need some kinds of notes or other organisers to make it work.Another question turning speech into writing raises is the style.How would writing make the change thatpeople speak their writing rather than type?Chances are that it would come up with many more short sentencesand more concrete language,which is good.It would probably also rely on prepared phrases a lot more often,which is not available when you are speaking quickly.To confirm this,a column was not written,but dictated(听写).It was composed from brief notes writtendown for structure only,and it was edited for length,with all of the original errors kept in.Here were the results.The first was that the literal accuracy was extremely high.There werent many cases wherethe software had heardone word incorrectly and written down another.But the other result was that the readability of this column wasrather bad.Obviously,the blame is not with the technology at all,which turns out to be rather good.Speaking intowriting relies on a better human brain than the one we currently possess.Writing is hard.Theres a reason it cantbe done at the speed of speech,in real time.To clarify the matter,this time paragraph breaks were added after the whole writing.Punctuations(标点)hadto be spoken aloud,and after a full stop,the first word in the new sentence was capitalized automatically.Someminor punctuation marks were added to make it clearer.To improve accuracy,people“trained”the softwarebeforehand,reading a prewritten passage aloud.Actually it turns out to be more effective.All of these ensure thesatisfactory completion of turning speech into writing.Language is the most important tool for human interaction,and voice is one beautiful part of language.Withthe maturity of modern technology,it has given birth to a great change in the human-computer voice interaction.12.According to the passage,which helps to turn speech into writing in terms of style?A.There is careful planning in advance.B.Errors and broken sentences are avoided.C.People type words as fast as they say them.D.The writing contains more prepared phrases.13.To achieve better results,the author mentions some changes for _.A.processing errors in a column.B.adding minor punctuation marks.C.increasing the number of brief notes.D.integrating short paragraphs in writing.14.The author suggests that _.A.human brains are responsible for poor dictated writing.B.writing with voice promises to improve the quality of writing.C.writing is an unnatural act that can hardly be learned and improved.D.technology has a long way to go in the human-computer voice interaction.15.What is the passage mainly about?A.Why people fully intend to turn speech into writing.B.What role voice technology plays in improving readability.C.Where the human-computer voice interaction is at an advantage.D.How voice technology enables the change from speech into writing.第二节（共第二节（共 5 5 小题；每小题小题；每小题 2 2 分，满分分，满分 1 10 0 分）分）阅读下面短文，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Why do
