This weekend tees the opening of an exhibition of four local artists.You could attend a class teaching you how to 'learn from the masters1 or get more creative with paint free of charge.The Centre also runs two life drawing classes for which there is a small fee.The Botanic GardenThe Garden has over 8,000 plant species; it holds the research and teaching collection of living plants for Cambridge University.The multi-branched7?rc/i Aloe here is impressive.

Look for grass snakes in the lake. A snake called 'Hissing Sid* is regularly seen lying in the heat of the warm sun.Byron's PoolMany stories surround Lord Byron's time as a student of Cambridge University, Arriving in 1805, he wrote a letter complaining that it was a place of nmess and drunkenness”. However, it seems as though Byron did manage to pass the time pleasantly enough. Fm not just talking about the pet bear he kept in his roans. He spent a great deal of time walking in the village.It is also said that on occasion Byron swam naked by moonlight in the lake, which is now known as Byron's Pool. A couple of miles past Grantchester in the south Cambridgeshire countryside, the pool is surrounded by beautiful circular paths around the fields. The cries of invisible birds make the trip a lovely experience and on the way home you can drop into the village for afternoon tea. If you don't trust me, then perhaps you'll take it from Virginia Woolf-over a century after Byron, she reportedly took a trip to swim in the same pool.1、As mentioned in the passage, there is a small charge forA. attending the masters1 classB. working with local artistsC. learning life drawingD. seeing an exhibition2、'Torch Aloe'1 and "Venus Flytrap*' are.A. common insectsC. rarely-seen snakesB , impressive plantsD wildlife-enthusiasts3、We can infer from the passage that Byron seemedA. to fear pet bearsB to like walkingC. to be a heavy drinkerD. to finish university in 18054、In the passage Byron's Pool is described as a lake.A. surrounded by fieldsB. owned by Lord ByronC. located in GrantchesterD. discovered by Virginia Woolf5、What is the passage mainly about?A.

They said plants had been the key object of study because their reaction to climate change could have an effect on food chains and ecosystem services.The study, published on the Nature website, uses the findings from plant life cycle studies and experiments across four continents and 1,634 species. It found that some experiments had underestimated （低估）the speed of flowering by 8.5 times and leafing by 4 times.“Across all species, the experiments under-predicted the speed of the advance-for both leafing and flowering- that results from temperature increase/9 the study said.The design of future experiments may need to be improved to better predict how plants will react to climate change, it said.Plants are necessary for life on the Earth. They are the base of the food chain, using photosynthesis （光合作用）to produce sugar from carbon dioxide and water. They let out oxygen which is needed by nearly every organism on the planet.Scientists believe the world's average temperature has risen by about 0.8 since 1900, and nearly 0.2 every ten years since 1979.So far, efforts to cut emissions （排放）of planet-warming greenhouse gases are not seen as enough to prevent the Earth heating up beyond 2 this century-a point scientists say will bring the danger of a changeable climate in which weather extremes are common, leading to drought, floods, crop failures and rising sea levels.1、What is the main idea of Paragraph 1 ?A. Plants, reaction to weather could have damaging effects on ecosystems.B. The increasing speed of flowering is beyond scientists9 expectation.C. Climate change leads to the change of food production patterns.D. Food chains have been seriously damaged because of weather.2、We can learn from the study published on the Nature website that .A. plants' flowering is 8.5 times faster than leafingB. there are 1,634 plant species on the four continentsC. scientists should improve the design of the experimentsD. the experiments failed to predict how plants react to climate change3、Scientists pay special attention to the study of plants because .A. they can prove the climate change clearlyB. they are very important in the food chainsC. they play a leading role in reducing global warmingD. they are growing and flowering much faster than before4、What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs about the world's temperature?A. It needs to be controlled within 2 in this century.B , Its change will lead to weather extremes.C. It is 0.8 higher in 1979 than that of 1900.D. It has risen nearly 0.2 since 1979.Text 4 The human beings seem to be facing a crisis （危机）. After our best Go players were defeated one by one by the artificial intelligence （AI） AlphaGo, we lost our pride of being at the top of the intelligence chain. And in October, when Saudi Arabia gave citizenship to a robot named Sophia, another privilege of being human was taken away. It looks like everything that separates humans and AI is at risk fight now.But we keep hoping that instead of "everything", there*s still something left in us that makes us irreplaceable.To Hao Jingfang, winner of the 2016 Hugo Award for Best Novelette, thatnsomething" is our consciousness. "AlphaGo is intelligent in a certain way, but not intelligent enough to ask the important questions Do I like playing Go? Do I want to play Go today? Why do I have to play Go when you tell me to? ” she once said. In other words, computer programs don't have a choice to say "no”. They probably don*t even know what a "choice" is - all they ever do is calculate.And to He Huaihong, a philosophy （哲学） professor at Peking University, imagination and creativity are also what make us special. "A machine couldn't have come up with the theory of gravity just because it was hit by a falling apple”, he said. "It's human imagination that connects what seem to be completely random and irrelevant concepts, something that a machinewhich works by fixed rules onlycan*t do, at least for now. ”This is why BBC reporter Viktor Mayer-Schonberger suggested that instead of focusing on how computers have oveishadowed us on calculating abilities than humans, we should probably ''consider our quality at a different end of thespectrum (光谱)：creativity, originality (原创性)，even plain illogical craziness, instead of hard-nosed (顽固的) logic”， he wrote.So maybe in the future, as artificial intelligence becomes even more intelligent, humans and Al will learn to use each other's talents for good. If AI can handle the boring tasks like calculating and driving for us, we'll have more time to create, think, and be busy with Hbeing human”.1、What can we learn about AlphaGo, according to Hao Jingfang? A. It will be taught to say no in the future.B. It will be more intelligent than humans one day.C. It has difficulty answering personal questions.D. It is unable to think independently as humans do.2、What does He Huaihong believe is unique to humans? A. Intelligence. B. Originality.C. The ability to make rules. D. The ability to make choices.3、What does the underlined word "overshadowed” in paragraph 5 probably mean? A. Competed with B. Taken control ofC. Been more successful than D. Influenced4、What could be the future of AI according to the author? A. It will be used to help humans, rather than compete with us.B. It may develop creativity besides better logical thinking.C. It might be very dangerous to humans in different fields.D. It will be applied to provide driving service for humans.Part BDirections:Read the following text and answer the questions by choosing the most suita
