Pizza.Like many of my friends,I longed to earn some pocket money from the job as well as gaining social experience.Just one week after I worked there,Stubby,the manager,called me into his office.As the saying goes,life isnt a bed of roses.My first job ended in failure,His reason was that I showed up late twice and took more breaks than others.“Oh,Im a loser,”I thought to myself.I believed that thought was shared by my brothers,neither of whom had ever been fired,and my mother,though she would never express it in those terms.“I am too sad to do anything,”I complained to my father.After listening to my words,he laughed.“Its not funny;Im a loser,”I said.“No,youre not.This is a part of growing up.You will be all right,my dear daughter,”he said,patting my shoulder.Trust me.You are good enough.I looked into my fathers eyes and I could see he really trusted me.And I believed him.Since then,“Trust me.You are good enough”are the only words I have repeated to myself.I have worked hard to be a better person and cherished every chance I have got.Finally,I succeeded in entering a good university.After graduation I found my dream job.I couldnt wait to call my father and show my gratitude.Look ahead when you experience something unpleasant and there is always someone around believing in you.When they believe in us,we begin to believe in ourselves,too.They 学科网（北京）股份有限公司tell us we are good enough over and over until we can hear it.24.Why was the author fired?A.She was usually late for work,B.She had no social experience,C.She had too many breaks.D.She failed to complete her

history,technological progress has brought new wealth but has not always improved peoples lives.Economists now say it is not clear whether artificial intelligence(AI)will help or hurt society.McKinley is a business consulting company.It said AI could add between$14 trillion and$22 trillion of value to the worlds economy.Supporters say the technology will create wealth and improve living standards.Some go as far as saying AI will increase peoples free time and help them be more creative.-But others are worried the technology will lead to losing jobs.They point to Hollywood writers and actors who are worried that they will be replaced by technology.The Internet arrived with a similar omen of more productivity,wealth and jobs.Recently,the French bank Natixis noted in its research that most of the wealth has gone to a few billionaires.And many of the jobs do not require highly paid,skilled workers.Some workers hope the technology will increase pay and job satisfaction.But they are also concerned that the technology could push people to work too hard.Such concerns are not unfounded.History has shown the economic impact of technological progress is generally uncertain,unequal and even harmful.Johnson recently published a book,Power and Progress,with Dacron Acemoglu,another economist from MIT.They studied technological progress over the last 1,000 years including clothing production,train travel,and even food shopping.Johnson noted that it is easier to create something new than to make sure it works for everyone.The two economists looked at an invention called the spinning jenny that made it easier to turn cotton and wool into yarn(纱线).They said the device helped clothing production and created wealth for many people in the late 1700s.学科网（北京）股份有限公司However,it also increased the demand for cotton and led to longer hours for workers.The demand also led to the growth of slavery in the southern United States.As for AI technology,Johnson wonders if it will make existing inequalities worse,orcould it help us get back to something fairer?28.What does the underlined wordomenmean in Paragraph 3?A.Sign.B.Requirement.C.ExperienceD.Level.29.What does Paragraph l intend to tell us?A.Lessons from history.B.The excitement of creating new things,C.Important technological innovations in history.D.The application of the spinning jenny.30.What is Johnsons attitude towards artificial intelligence?A.Surprised.B.Scared.C.ObjectiveD.Unfavourable31.Where is the text probably from?A.A book review.B.A science fiction novel.D.An economics textbook.C.A technology report.DA blind fish living within a Mexican cave systems deep,enduring darkness still maintains some ability to sense light.As the cave fish no longer seem to rely on an internal daily cycle and some sleep very little,biologist Inca Stein-dal and her colleagues were keen to see if their bodies can still regulate cyclically through time.Most animals on Earth have an internal clock for this.the circadian rhythm(昼夜节律)that uses light levels to make our bodies fit in with our planets day and night cycles.This rhythm is then used to cycle through different biological processes that can influence our behaviour,such as our hunger cycles.The Mexican blind cave fish live in a complex of over 30 isolated caves,within which they have each independently adjusted to the dark.Their bodies are extra sensitive to vibrations(震动),allowing them to sense changes in water currents for navigation(导航)in compensation for their limited or complete lack of sight.This adaptation occurred despite the fish from each cave evolving from the same species with fully functioning eyes.This ancestral group still lives in the surface waters in the El Albra region of Mexico and some parts of the Southwestern US.Steindal and her team took tissue samples from the blind cave fish,from three isolated caves,and their surface relatives and tested the cells in different conditions.They detected the activation of several molecular(分子的)clock mechanisms when the cells were exposed to light,even in the cave fish cells.“Non-visual light detection is maintained at a fundamental cell-based level,”the researchers explain,although the cave fish cells did not respond as 学科网（北京）股份有限公司strongly as those cells from surface fish.While there were some similarities between the fish from the different caves compared to their surface relatives,there were also differences that confirm their biological clock changes each evolved independently of one another via different molecular mechanisms.“We have provided proof that despite being blind,cells from the Mexican blind cave fish can detect light and make their clocks fit in with a light/dark cycle,”Steindal and her colleagues conclude.The team hopes these can help us learn more about the circadian rhythm and provide an easier way to study animal adaptations to dark environments.32.As to the cave fish,what did Steindal and her fellows try to find out?A.If they have a circadian rhythm.B.If they rely on an internal daily cycle.C.If they need to sleep.D.If they are able to sense light.33.What is the main idea of Paragraph 2?A.The Mexican cave fishs ancestors had normal vision.B.The Mexican cave fishs home is in the dark deep sea.C.The Mexican cave fish have adapted to darkness.D.The Mexican cave fish have trouble navigating.34.Which of the following can support the conclusion of the study?A.Cave fishs unique molecular structures.B.Non-visual light detection in cave fish cells.C.The cave fishs adjustment t0 molecular clock mechanisms.D.Biological clock changes evolved independently.35.What is a suitable title for the text?A.Why Do the Mexican Cave fish Live in the DarkenB.A Blind Cave fish Can Still Perceive Light.C.How Can the Mexican Cave fish Fit in with the Day Cycles?D.The Biological Clocks of the Life in the Sen Are Constantly Changing.第二节第二节(共共 5 小题；每小题小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分分，满分 12.5 分分)阅读下而短文，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，Do you know anyone who has gone backpacking?Its a type of travel that is low-cost and independent,often meaning no fixed plans regarding accommodation or destination._36_ Traveller typically fill a backpack with life essentials,like clothing.plus anything extra needed for adventure.The stereotypical(刻板印象的)view of a backpacker is someone in their 20s,keen to tick off items on their bucket list._37_Youre about to find out that anyone can backpack,Last year,my best friends parents retired at age 65 and set off on a 630-mile trail along the southwest coast of England.Each carrying a 15 kg backpack,Mike and Lorraine hiked along cliffs,explored golden sandy beaches and even cycled.For accommodation,they didnt pre-book but stayed in whatever they could find on the day,which varied from B&.Bs to camping in fields full of sheep._38_Backpackers are also known for travelling with little money,but few begin with as little as Othmane Zolati from Morocco.In 2015,he embarked on(开始)an almost four-year journey,but he started out with just$80(式 64).He zigzagged(曲折前进)across 24countries on the African continent and filmed his experience,aiming to show the world the diversity and 学科网（北京）股份有限公司beauty of Africa,all on a shoestring budget.He said that he often had to do odd jobs and rely on the kindness of strangers to be able to afford to keep travelling._39_South Africa was Othmanes final destination and,on reaching it,he said,It was one of the best moments in my life.It made me know that if you fight for something,you really stick to that goal.then you will reach it.”_40_If you want to travel,you can,no matter your age or budget!A.So,dont give up.B.But,forget this.C.But it
