Their twins a girl and a boy were born two minutes apart and 14 weeks premature, weighing just over two pounds each. Doctors had tried to save the boy for 20 minutes but saw no improvement. His heartbeat was nearly gone, and he'd stopped breathing. The baby had just moments to live.nI saw him gasp （口神，息），but the doctor said it was no use,*' Kate told the Daily Mail five years later. HI know it sounds stupid, but if he was still gasping, that was a sign of life. I wasn't going to give up easily."Still, the couple knew this was likely a goodbye. In an effort to cherish her last minutes with the tiny boy, Kate asked to hold him.nI wanted to meet him, and for him to know us J Kate told Today. "We'd resigned ourselves to the fact that we were going to lose him, and we were just trying to make the most of those last, precious moments/'Kate unwrapped the boy, whom the couple had already named Jamie, from his hospital blanket and asked David to take his shirt off and join them in bed. The first-time parents wanted their son to be as warm as possible and hoped the skin-to-skin contact would improve his condition. They also talked to him.“We were trying to persuade him to stay/' Kate told the Daily Mail. nWe explained his name and that he had a twin that he had to look out for and how hard we had tried to have him.*'Then something miraculous happened. Jamie gasped again - and then he started breathing. Finally, he reached for his father's finger.The couple's lost boy had made it."We're the luckiest people in the world/ David told Today.Eight years later, Jamie and his sister, Emily, are happy and healthy. The couple only recently told the kids the story of their birth. nEmily burst into tears,'1 Kate said. HShe was really upset, and she kept hugging Jamie.

We swim into it, live near it, build beside it, and even imagine about living under the sea. But we're terrified of it, too. For much of our history, we have turned to “hard engineering*' to control the marine （7每洋）environment and manage its influence on us. We build dams, sea walls and channels. But all these efforts seem to fail. The sea has a habit of taking back its own. And we suffer.Johnston, a marine ecologist, is advocating for "blue engineeringH - the marine version of the "green engineeringn movement on land that has seen nations like Singapore building the walls and roofs of the concrete jungle with plant life.We are expanding further into the marine environment. This practice does harm to marine ecosystems. We*re loving the sea to death, but we've not been thinking about design of structures （建筑物）with respect to ecology. Some coastal structures create shade, which reduces the growth of seaweed. Bright lights at night contuse species such as turtles. That's why blue engineering comes in.Throughout the world people are starting to turn things around. Researchers with the World Harbour Project are creating tiles （瓦片）similar to the natural structures found on rocky shores with 3D printing technology. These make more attractive homes for marine creatures. Researchers are also actively seeding these tiles with local seaweeds and creatures such as the Sydney rock oyster, which is particularly good at improving water quality. Twelve harbours around the world are taking part in this marine tile experiment, each working with their own unique marine life.Its a far cry from, he days when huge number, of old tyres （轮胎）were thrown, into the sea to build nartificial reef1'（礁石）.Those clumsy early attempts are now costing millions to remove, showing just how far we have yet to go in understanding how best to co-habit with the underwater world.23. What do we know about Hhard engineering"?A. It has improved sea environment.B. It can control the influence of sea.C. It has failed to achieve its purpose.D. It makes living under sea impossible.24. Para.3 is mainly about the to introduce the project of nblue engineering".A. drawbacks B. reasons C. procedures D. measuresWhich of the following is a form of nblue engineering0?A. Constructing buildings with plant life.B. Expanding into marine environments.C. Creating an artificial reef with old tyres.D. Building structures benefiting sea creatures.25. What is the writer's feeling towards the present situation of marine environment?A. Relieved. B. Doubtful. C. Satisfied. D. DisappointedDGlobal GDP in 2030 will be 14% higher as a result of AI (Artificial Intelligence), thanks to improving labor productivity and increasing consumer demand, says a report.The report could increase the enthusiasm of economic policymakers and the public, and show the power of technology in changing not only people's daily lives, but also economic activities. However, history tells us that, while technological advancements have brought us benefits, they have also led to great social disorders, by changing the production and labor structures, and forcing many workers to either adapt to the changes or lose their jobs. In the 18th century, for instance, skilled workers rose up to resist the Industrial Revolution, destroying machinery in the early 19th century. We may not see similar protests today, but history should serve as a warning against the application of AI technology.While we may gain a lot of benefits from AI, we must work out plans to reduce its negative effect on society, especially for workers. AI can raise productivity and expand GDP, but it can also make non-adaptive workers jobless. In India, some technology personnel have already felt the negative effect of information technology. As technology industries across the world seek increasing support from automation (自动操作)，robotics and big data analysis, some technology workers have already lost their jobs.In their 2013 research study, Michael Osborne and Carl Frey from Oxford University estimated 47% of the jobs in the United States are “at risk“ of being automated in the next 20 years. They said jobs in transportation and office and administrative support are at high risk of being automated. And Kaifu Lee recently said that robots could take away about 50% of all jobs from humans in the next decade.Those estimates may sound sensational and the impact of technological advancements may not be that serious, as they will also create jobs in new industries. However, policymakers should consider how to better embrace the technological wave to bring benefits while taking action to minimize its negative effects. The government therefore needs to work together with business leaders and social organizations, to promote training programs for potentially helpless workers, in order to make them more capable of adapting to the structural changes in industries and job markets in the future.26. Paragraph 2 mainly wants to tell us that technological advancements have.A. brought us a lot of benefitsB. improved our daily livesC. caused some social problemsD. led to great unemploymentWe can learn from the passage that.A. the government should discover people's potentialsB. technology workers are more likely to survive AI technologyC. we should take action to meet the challenge of the AI technologyD. most workers are willing to accept the changes brought by AI technologyThe underlined word “sensational“ in the last paragraph probably means.A. shocking B. powerful C. inspiring D. wonderfulThe passage is intended to.A. warn us against the negative effects of AI technologyB. present the good and bad effects of Al technologyC. predict the future development of AI technologyD. arouse people's enthusiasm for AI technology第二节（共5小题，每小题L5分，满分7.5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，选项中最多有两项为多余选项。Exam AnxietyHas this ever happened to you? You've been studying hard for your midterm, but when you walk into your exam, your mind goes blank, your heart races fast, you get sweaty palms and find it hard to breathe. 36Everyone feels stressed during exams. Usually, it results from a fear of failure, lack of adequate preparation time and bad experiences taking tests in the past. This is normal and often helps you work harder, think faster and generally improve your performance. 37 You may also feel that other people are managing the exam betterthan you. This can cause you to feel that your mind has "gone blank" on information you know you have revised.38 Some choose to ignore the problem, while others don't review because they think they will dobadly anyway and even miss exams due to the anxiety. It can also be really easy to think that if you don't try and then you fail, you won't feel as bad as if you fail after trying really hard.So what can you do to fight against the negative mindset and stay calm before and during your test? 39 Yes, this seems obvious, but it's worth repeating. If you feel confident that you've prepared thoroughly,you'll feel more confident walking into the test. The second tip is simple: just start. The blank page can maximize your anxiety. 40 You can always go back and change things later if needed, but a few quick answers canget the ball rolling. Besides, allocating（分酉己）your time is equally important. Look through the whole test before getting started. Mentally allocate how much time you'll spend on each section. If there's time to recheck, even better.A. The first thing you should do is to be prepared.B. People often deal with exam stress in many unhelpful ways.C. If these classic signs of exam anxiety sound familiar, you're not alone!D. Therefore, people need an appropriate amount of pressure to help deal with exams.E. Realizing time is almost up and that there's still a lot of blank space will make you desperate.F. However, if you are overly anxious about the result, you may be unable to focus on your work.G. After you get the paper, dive right in by getting some questions done to build up your confidence.第三部分语言知识运用（共三节，满分45分）第一节完形填空（共20小题；每小题1分，满分20分）阅读下面的短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D ）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项， 并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。On Dec. 6, Kelsey Zwick boarded Flight 588 from Orlando to Philly with Lucy, one of her 11 -month-old twin daughters.
