This passage is probably taken from a(an)A. textbook B. instructionC. posterD. reportBIn the 1980s, I took a part-time weekend job as a hospice(收容所)nurse, visiting fatally sick patients in their homes. My first visit was to a young man dying of AIDS. His chart showed he had been a patient for only a short time and was near death. As I drove to his house I wondered what I could do for him. Had he gone to college? What kind of work had he done? Had he been successful? Did his family disown him when he was diagnosed with this dread disease? AIDS in thel980s. So many fears. So much still to learn.As I got closer to his house, my anxiety kicked in. What would I be facing? Would he wele me or be cross? I wondered about the wisdom of taking this hospice job. I knocked and walked inside. Slowly I climbed the stairs, wishing for more stairs. I heard a woman whisper, "She's here." The bedroom door was partly open. I was shocked to see a skeleton of a man.Walking into the room, I felt like a robot. When I introduced myself, he gave a moan, never opening his eyes. I drew up the pain medication, praying that there would be enough flesh to give the injection. He moaned again as I gently turned him on his side. nSo sorry/I said, as he frowned with pain. This man, not yet thirty-five years old, was actively dying.I asked him if I could ease him into the chair and straighten the sheets on his bed. He didn't speak but nodded his head and opened his eyes. Could he see the passion in my eyes above the mask? When I asked if he wanted a sip of water, he nodded. I was grateful I could provide some fort to him.Preparing to leave, I went to my patient to say goodbye. He murmured something, and I bent down closer to hear him. His words surprised me. Where did he get the strength to utter them? He whispered, “There must be a special place in heaven for people like you. ”24.

What might be the best title for the text?A. The Service of a Hospice Nurse.B. The Words from an AIDS PatientC. The Pain of a Man with AIDSD. The Skill of Caring for a PatientCThere is something very wrong with the system of values in a society that has only unkind terms like nerd and geek for the intellectually curious and academically serious. We all know what a nerd is: someone who wear thick glasses and ugly clothes: someone who knows all the answers to the chemistry or math homework but can never get a date on a Saturday night. And a geek, according to Webster's New World Dictionary, is a street performer who shocks the public by biting off heads of live chickens. It is an obvious fact about our language and our culture that someone devoted to the pursuit of knowledge is pared to such a strange person.Even at a famous educational institution like Harvard, anti-intellectualism(反智主义)is widespread: Many students are ashamed to admit how much they study. The same thing happens in US primary and high schools.Enough is enough. The anti-intellectual values that have spread throughout American society must be fought. There are very few countries in the world where anti-intellectualism runs as high in popular culture as it does in the US. In most industrialized nations, especially in East Asia, a kid who studies hard is praised. But in America, average professional ballplayers are much more respected and better paid than professors of the best universitiesHow can a country where typical parents are ashamed of their children studying mathematics instead of going dancing be expected to pete in the technology race with Japan? How long can America remain a world-class power if we constantly put social skills and physical strength over academic achievement and intellectual ability?Do we really expect to stay afloat largely by bringing in our scientists and intellectuals from abroad, as we have done for a major portion of this century without making an effort to also cultivate(培养)a pro- intellectual (有禾U于知识分子的)culture at home.Not until the words “nerd” and “geek” bee words of praise rather than insults do we have a promising future.28. The main purpose of this article is to.A. argue against higher salaries for athletesB. offer solutions to current economic problemsC. plain about the lack of respect for intellectualsD. describe changes in the American society29. What is the meaning of the words “ nerd " and " geek " in this passage?A. They are insulting terms which are applied to smart students.B. They are used in the U.S. to describe students from other countries.C. A nerd is a good student and a geek is a poor student.D. Nerds and geeks are accurate descriptions of strange students.30. The sentence u Enough is enough.v means "” .A. it is now time to reverse the trend and to start respecting intellectualsB. hardworking students have been separated from others for long enoughC. nerds and geeks have been playing for too long a time D. there have been enough teasing of those idle students 31. What is probably the author's attitude towards the present society's anti-intellectual values? A. Neutral B. Supportive C. Concerned D Objective.DGoogle's new camera, called Clips, is a smart device. It es with a case that has a clip (夹 子), but it's not designed to be worn on your clothing. Most interestingly it uses artificial intelligence to take photography out of your hands and captures moments entirely on its own!What sets this roughly 2-inch by 2-inch camera, with a three-hour battery life and Gorilla Glass for toughness apart is that it is specially intended for candid moments, like when a child does something cute that may happen too quickly for you to pull out your smartphone.On board the Clips device, it uses machine learning algorithms ( 计算程序)to help capture scenes. Those algorithms include face recognition. "Once it learns that there's a face you see frequently, it'll try to get nice photos of those faces,“ said J us ton Payne, the device's product manager. And they also want it to recognize facial expressions, which involved "training it to know what happiness looks like”. The Google team also trained it to recognize what not to shoot-like when a child's hand is over the lens, or if it is tossed in a dark purse.The only way to see the images is by connecting the camera with your phone, as it has no screen for viewing or editing.Were people concerned it could seem strange? Rs, Payne admitted, but he said they addressed that by making it obvious what it is. A green light on the front signals that it is on. Besides, unlike a camera meant to monitor your home, it is not connected to the Internet.“This product is only possible because of the way that silicon(硅)has advanced;' Payne said that now they could squeeze the technology down into a device this size. Going forward, we'relikely to get more assistance from the artificial intelligence packed into our apps and gadgets.32. What is the most outstanding feature of Clips?A. It enables easy Internet accessB. It is equipped with tough glass.C. It can be worn on your clothing.D. It allows of hands-free photography33. What does the underlined word “candid” in Paragraph 2 mean?A. Awkward. B. Brief. C. Touching. D. embarrassing.34. What makes Clips a reality according to Juston Payne?A. The advance in technology.B. The popularity of the Internet.C. The screen for viewing and editing.D. The rise of the smartphone industry35. What does the text mainly talk about?A. New gadgets in the age of apps.B. Artificial intelligence in daily Life.C. Anew digital camera from Google.D. An alternative way to photograph.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 入空处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。A dog's mind is only equal to that of a two-year-old baby 36 As a result, they are likely to notice any change in the behavior of their owners. Let's do some further exploration to understand the fantastic ability of a dog.Dogs are aware of your feelings. 37 This is true. An article published in the Animal Cognition journal says that dogs are believed to e to people who appear sad or frustrated. It doesn't matter whether the person is their master or not. They have an ability to sense sadness and are attached to troubled souls.38 They can easily tell when you're playing with favorites. Whenever you spend more with other pets, your dog might sense it and feel unfortable. Though they can't say out how they feel, they will scratch, yawn or lick their mouths.Dogs smell fear. Let's say you're faced with your worst fear. Would you get scared and run away or just face it? Before choosing how to deal with it, you should remember one thing. 39 Research shows that dogs often notice their masters' responses in dangerous situations. If you fear something and choose to back away chances are that your pet is going to do the same thing.Dogs are watching you. We are all educated as respectable i
