    My teacher, Mr．August J．Bachmann, was the most influential teacher I ever had.

    I had gotten into trouble in his class：Another student had pushed me for fun，and I became angry and began to hit him．Mr．Bachmann stopped the fight，but instead of sending me to the office，he sat me down and asked a simple question："Penna，why are you wasting your life？Why aren't you going to college？"

    I didn't know anything about colleges or scholarships．No one had ever considered that a fatherless boy from the poorest neighborhood had a future．That day，instead of rushing off for lunch，he stayed and explained possible education options to me．At the end of our talk，he sent me to see a secretary who had a child at a state college．This was in 1962 at Emerson High School in Union City，New Jersey.

    Well，53 years have passed, and what have I done with the knowledge he gave me？I gained a PhD from Fordham University when I was only 29．I taught English and social studies and then moved up the chain of command from teacher to principal.

    I've sat on the board for Magnet Schools of America and represented that organization at the United Nations．I've won a number of great educational awards．But where would I be if a truly caring teacher had not taken the time out of his lunch period to speak to me? It was without question only his confidence in me that helped me forward．

    I have repaid his kindness hundreds of times by encouraging misguided youngsters to aim higher. If I have saved any children, it is because of him. If I have been a successful educator, it is because I had a great role model in Mr. Bachmann.

    1.The writer ________ before Mr．Bachmann talked to him．

    A. was an active boy

    B. liked making troubles in class

    C. was an aimless boy

    D. would get punished by his teachers

    2.Which of the following best describes Mr．Bachmann?

    A. Fair.B. Confident.C. Inspiring.D. Humorous.

    3.How did Mr．Bachmann influence the writer?

    A. He set the writer on the right path.

    B. He tried to set a good example to the writer.

    C. He was strict with the writer.

    D. He helped the writer with his study.

    4.What does the writer think of his achievement？

    A. He is very proud of himself.

    B. He feels his effort gets paid off at last.

    C. He owes his achievement to Mr. Bachmann.

    D. He thinks it an honor to be a successful educator.

    Computers have beaten human world champions at chess and, earlier this year, the board game Go. So far, though, they have struggled at the card table. So we challenged one AI to a game.

    Why is poker(扑克) so difficult? Chess and Go are “information complete” games where all players can see all the relevant information. In poker, other players’ cards are hidden, making it an “information incomplete” game. Players have to guess opponents’ hands from their actions—tricky for computers. Poker has become a new benchmark for AI research. Solving poker could lead to many breakthroughs, from cyber security to driverless cars.

    Scientists believe it is only a matter of time before AI once again vanquishes humans, hence our human-machine match comes up in a game of Texas Hold’s Em Limit Poker. The AI was developed by Johannes Heinrich, researcher studying machine learning at UCL. It combines two techniques: neural(神经的) networks and reinforcement learning(强化学习).

    Neural networks, to some degree, copy the structure of human brains: their processors are highly interconnected and work at the same time to solve problems. They are good at spotting patterns in huge amounts of data. Reinforcement learning is when a machine, given a task, carries it out, learning from mistakes it makes. In this case, it means playing poker against itself billions of times to get better.

    Mr Heinrich told Sky News: “Today we are presenting a new procedure that has learned in a different way, more similar to how humans learn. In particular, it is able to learn abstract patterns, represented by its neural network, which allow it to deal with new and unseen situations.”

    After two hours of quite defensive play, from the computer at least, we called it a draw.

    1.Why can’t the computer beat humans at the poker game?

    A. Because humans are cleverer than the computer.

    B. Because humans practice playing the poker game every day.

    C. Because the computer can’t learn the regular rules of the poker game.

    D. Because the computer can’t know the other players’ cards completely.

    2.What does the underlined word “vanquishes” in Paragraph 3 mean?

    A. Leaves.B. Defeats.C. Cheats.D. Serves.

    3.What do we know about the reinforcement learning of AI?

    A. It solves problems correctly every time.

    B. It is the same as the learning of humans.

    C. It learns from the mistakes appearing in a task.

    D. It is more developed than the studying ways of humans.

    4.What can be inferred from the text?

    A. The new procedure of AI has some features of humans.

    B. Computers are stronger than humans in every aspect.

    C. Humans will beat computers at playing poker forever.

    D. Scientists feel unhappy about the result of the poker game.

    第二节 根据短文内容，从短文后选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

    Much meaning can be conveyed clearly with our eyes, so it is often said that eyes can speak.

    __ 36In a bus you may look at a stranger, but not for too long. And if he sensed that you are staring at him, he may feel uncomfortable.

    The same is true in our daily life. If you are stared at for more than necessary, you will look at yourself up and down to see if there is anything wrong with you.37. Eyes do speak, right？

    Looking too long at someone may seem to be rude and aggressive.38. If a man stares at a woman for more than 10 seconds and refuses to look away from her, his intentions are obvious. He wishes to attract her attention, and let her know that he is admiring her.

    However, when two persons are engaged in a conversation, the speaker will only look into the listener’s eyes from time to time to make sure that the listener does pay attention to what the former is speaking. 39 If a speaker looks at you continuously when speaking as if he trying to control you, you will feel awkward. A poor liar usually expose s himself by looking too long at the victim. He wrongly believes that looking straight in the eye is a sign of honest communication.40

    Actually, eye contact should be made based on specific relationship and situation.

    A. On the contrary, it will give him away.

    B. Do you have such a kind of experience?

    C. That’s what normal eye contact is all about.

    D. Actually, continuous eye contact is limited to lovers only.

    E. After all, everybody likes to be stared at for quite a long time.

    F. But things are different when it comes to staring at the opposite sex.

    G. If nothing goes wrong, you will feel annoyed at being stared at that way.

    A short guide to surviving a post-election Thanksgiving

    Thanksgiving in the US is a celebration of the blessings of the previous year. This time it included one of the most divisive presidential campaigns. Even now it is over, the possibility of argument has not disappeared. Here we have some tips for you to survive this Thanksgiving.

    ●Cover up any signal of union

    It might be fine to have your Hillary bumper sticker in New York, but it isn't going to go down well in Wyoming, where 70% voted Trump. Similarly, your "I love Trump" T-shirt will probably not be popular in California, where 62% voted Hillary.1.．

    ●Practice your facial expression beforehand

    They say a picture tells 1,000 words. Your face is the same. 2.You need to invest some energy in making sure your true feelings are completely buried. Ten minutes in front of the mirror should be enough to perfect your neutral face. 3.Well, we suggest closing them. Easy.

    ●Have a list of neutral topics for the dinner table

    The weather is A favorite subject of the British. It is inoffensive, bland and can provide a good half-hour's chat, if done well. Everyone has an opinion on whether or not it is colder/hotter/wetter/windier than last year/10 years ago/when they were little. You can involve the whole family.4.With Clinton and Trump supporters largely split on whether climate change exists, it could inadvertently lead to politics. So it's maybe trickier for Americans than the weather-worn Brits. 5.After all, the rivalry between your American football team of choice and your cousin's may have a long and vitriolic history, but it is likely to be less poisonous than the current differences in your politics.

    A. Sports may not be a neutral subject.

    B. Biting your lip is simply not enough this holiday season.

    C. There are hundreds of outstanding topics for Thanksgiving.

    D. There is one slight downfall to this particular favorite.

    E. Are you one of those people whose eyes always tell the truth?

    F. So we advise leaving the T-shirt at home, and covering up the stickers.

    G. It would be fine, if people of different opinions would not spend Thanksgiving together.

    Still seeking a destination for your weekend break? There are some places which are probably a mere walk away from your college.

    King's Art Centre

    A day at the Centre could mean a visit to an exhibition of the work of one of the most interesting contemporary artists on show anywhere.This weekend sees the opening of an exhibition of four local artists.

    You could attend a class teaching you how to ‘learn from the masters’ 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 Garden

    The Garden has over 8,000 plant species；it holds the research and teaching collection of living plants for Cambridge University.

    The multi?branched Torch Aloe here is impressive.The African plant produces red flowers above blue?green leaves，and is not one to miss.

    Get to the display house to see Dionaea muscipula，a plant more commonly known as the Venus Flytrap that feeds on insects and other small animals.

    The Garden is also a place for wildlife?enthusiasts.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 Pool

    Many 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 “mess and drunkenness”.However，it seems as though Byron did manage to pass the time pleasantly enough.I'm not just talking about the pet bear he kept in his rooms.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 for ______.

    A. attending the masters' class B. working with local artists

    C. learning life drawing D. seeing an exhibition

    2.We can infer from the passage that Byron seemed ______.

    A. to finish university in 1805 B. to fear pet bears

    C. to be a heavy drinker D. to like walking

    3.In the passage Byron's Pool is described as a lake ______.

    A. surrounded by fields B. owned by Lord Byron

    C. located in Grantchester D. discovered by Virginia Woolf

    4.What is the passage mainly about?

    A. Some places for weekend break.

    B. A way to become creative in art.

    C. The colourful life in the countryside.

    D. Unknown stories of Cambridge University.
