    Dar and I loved to dance. It was probably the first thing we did together, long before we would share our lives.

    We grew up in a small Oregon mountain community where dances were held almost every Saturday night. Dar was seventeen and l was thirteen when we first danced. He was one of the best dancers on the floor, and so was I. We always jitterbugged. No slow dancing for us; nothing remotely romantic.

    Our fathers would stand along the wall and watch. Every once in a while, Dar’s dad would smile a little and say, to no one in particular, but my dad could hear, “Boy, my kid can sure dance.” My dad never blinked an eye; he acted like he’d never heard. But a while later he would say, to no one in particular, “That girl of mine can sure dance.”

    Our dancing together stopped for five years while Dar was in the South Pacific in World War II. When we met again, Dar was twenty-two, and l was eighteen. We began to date and dance again. We were as good together as we remembered, and this time we added slow dancing.

    For us, life is a dance, a movement of rhythms, directions, stumbles, missteps, at times slow and precise, or fast and wild and joyous. We did all the steps.

    Two nights before Dar died, the family were with us. We all ate dinner together, and Dar sat with us. He hadn’t been able to eat for several days. After dinner, I put on a Nat King Cole tape. Dar took me in his arms, weak as he was, and we danced and smiled. No tears for us. We were doing what we had loved to do for more than fifty years. It was our last dance---forever unforgettable. I wouldn’t have missed it for the world.

    1.The author first danced with Dar when____.

    A. they were still in their teens

    B. they began to date each other

    C. they began to share their lives

    D. Dar returned from the South Pacific

    2.What does the author mean by the underlined sentence in paragraph 3？

    A. Her dad didn’t like Dar's father.

    B. Her dad was not interested in the dance.

    C. Her dad was too focused on his daughter.

    D. Her dad thought his daughter danced better.

    3.How did the author feel when she danced with Dar for the last time?

    A. Regretful. B. Content.

    C. Heart-broken. D. Concerned.

    4.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

    A. My Unforgettable Dancing Partner

    B. Dance Together to the Last

    C. My Last Dance with Dar

    D. The Best Dancers

    Let's face it. No one drinks diet sodas for the taste. People drink diet sodas in the hope that it will help them lose weight or at least keep them from gaining it. Yet it seems to have exactly the opposite effect, according to a new study.

    Researchers from the University of Texas said those who drank two or more diet sodas a day had waist size increases that were six times greater than those who didn't drink diet sodas. “What we saw was that the more diet sodas a person drank, the more weight they were likely to gain,” said Sharon Fowler.

    The study was based on data from 474 participants in a large, ongoing research project, where the participants were followed for nearly 10 years.

    While the findings are surprising，they also offer some explanations.

    Nutrition expert, Melanie Rogers, who works with overweight patients in New York, has found that when patients are switched from regular to diet sodas, they don't lose weight at all. “We weren't seeing weight loss necessarily, and that was confusing to us,” said Rogers.

    So why would diet soda cause weight gain? No one knows for sure yet，but it could be that people think they can eat more if they drink diet sodas, and so over－compensate(弥补) for the missing calories.

    A related study found some sweeteners (甜味剂) raised blood sugar levels in some mice. “Data from this and other potential studies suggest that the promotion of diet sodas and artificial sweeteners may be risky,” said Helen P. Hazuda, professor at School of Medicine of the University of Texas. “They may be free of calories, but not of consequences.”

    1.People drink diet sodas to________.

    A. enjoy its taste B. stay in fashion

    C. achieve weight loss D. gain more energy

    2.We can learn from the passage that________.

    A. regular sodas make people lose more weight

    B. diet soda drinkers tend to eat more food

    C. diet sodas do help reduce calories

    D. most blood diseases come from diet sodas

    3.The underlined word “They” in the last paragraph probably refers to“________”.

    A. sweeteners

    B. diet sodas and artificial sweeteners

    C. sodas

    D. diet soda drinkers and sweetener takers

    The interview had been going on for about 20 minutes and everything seems to be going well. Then，suddenly，the interviewer asks an unexpected question，“Which is more important，law or Dove？”

    Job applicants in the West increasingly find themselves asked strange questions like this. And the signs are that this is beginning to happen in China.

    Employers want people skilled，enthusiastic and devoted. So these are the qualities that any reasonably intelligent job applicants will try to show no matter what his or her actual feelings are. In response，employers are increasingly using questions which try and show the applicant’s true personality.

    The question in the first paragraph comes from a test called the Keirsey Personality Sorter. It is an attempt to discover how people solve problems，rather than what they know. This is often called an aptitude test (能力倾向测验)．

    According to Mark Baldwin, many job applicants in China are finding this type of questions difficult. When a Chinese person fills out an aptitude test, he or she will think there is a right answer and they may fail because they try to guess what the examiner wants to see.

    This is sometimes called the prisoner’s dilemma. Applicants are trying to act cleverly in their own interest. But they fail because they don’t understand what the interviewer is looking for. Remember that in an aptitude test，the correct answer is always the honest answer.

    1.The writer wrote the passage to________.

    A. give you a piece of advice on a job interview

    B. tell you how to meet a job interviewer

    C. describe the aptitude test

    D．advise you how to find a job

    2.Why do the interviewers ask such questions?

    A. They want to discover what the interviewees know.

    B. They are curious about the answers.

    C. They try to discover the ability of the interviewees solving problems.

    D. They just ask questions without thinking much.

    3.According to the writer, in an aptitude test, Chinese job applicants should________.

    A. not tell the truth

    B. learn to tell what they really think

    C. be more enthusiastic

    D. try to find out what the examiner really want to know

    4.From the passage we know that________.

    A. job applicants are always asked such questions

    B. more Chinese applicants fail to find a job

    C. applicants should not act as reasonably as a prisoner

    D. the aptitude test is becoming popular worldwide

    The defeat of Lee Sedol, the world’s strongest Go (围棋) player, by a Google artificial intelligence (AI) program, looks like another milestone towards a world where computers can do almost anything a human can. It is not. There are uncountable things that only a human can do, and that no computer seems close to. The problem is that the purely human things are not economically useful to anyone. The things that computers can be taught to do are by contrast economically fantastic. But even the most powerful programs are not human, just as a shovel (铲车). They have no feelings. What they have is power, but this power is growing at a rate that should frighten us all.

    It might be less frightening if computers were truly intelligent, but even the most powerful networks are less human than monstrous Martians (火星人). Their power will be used to make money for the firms that finance their development, and then for others quick and clever enough to take advantage of the new world. It is far more likely that they will increase inequality and still further remove the middle classes as we move towards an hourglass (以金钱来衡量的) society in which everyone is either very rich or very poor and likely indebted.

    One of the ill effects of the spread of more intelligent computer networks is, at the same time, the spread of what might be called artificial stupidity. If AI is employed largely to replace unskilled labour, it is most productive when labour is kept unskilled or redefined that way. So much of the work in service industries is now simplified until it might be automated (自动化). And robots will never need pensions(养老金). AI is slowly reducing skilled work, like some forms of medical diagnosis (诊断), at the same time, as older doctors complain that the traditional human skills of diagnosis are falling out of medical training. The belief that everything worthwhile can be measured and then managed is far more damaging to humanity than the threat of artificial intelligence on its own.

    But no victory in complicated Go games can bring us closer to truly human-like computers.

    1.By mentioning the defeat of Lee Sedol, the author intends to tell us that ______.

    A. computers can completely replace humans in everything

    B. humans are of no practical economic values to the society

    C. the power of computers is growing at a frightening rate

    D. AI programs can not compare with humans economically

    2.We can learn from Paragraph 2 that the power of computers will ______.

    A. improve the quality of human life

    B. widen the gap between the rich and the poor

    C. make contributions to human development

    D. promote equality at work places

    3.What is the author’s attitude towards the future of artificial intelligence?

    A. Optimistic. B. Supportive.

    C. Cautious. D. doubtful.

    Time flies! This is a third year that I have been in this school. In the past two and a half years, our school had organized many activities. What impressed me best was an activity called “Learning to Farm”. In an autumn afternoon, we were sent to a farm which we learned to plant potatoes. Having been in the city for so a long time, we were so happy to go to the countryside. After divided into three groups, we started to work. Some students cut potatoes into pieces; some dug holes, and the others put the pieces of potatoes into the hole, put the earth back and push them down hard. We continued doing that until all the work was done. Although we were exhausted, but we felt fulfilled on our way back home.
