    Swimming at the beach or in a backyard pool are well-known Australian summer activities. But while it is usually a fun time of year, there is a serious side to summer that you might not know about.

    1.There are lots of trees and dry grass in remote areas that can easily catch fire. Even throwing a burning cigarette out of a car window can cause a lot of damage. 2.

    In February, there were more than 80 different bushfires burning at the same time in New South Wales, a southeastern state of Australia. The Guardian newspaper reported that 42 homes were burned to the ground because of these fires. 3.They are huge farms. Many Australian properties(房产)are larger than 1,000 square kilometers, while the biggest is more than 20,000 square kilometers—even larger than Beijing.

    Every household prepares for bushfire season and protects their property. But sometimes the fires are too big and people have to move to safety.

    4. It was so hot in February that thousands of bats died from the heat. People can get sick if they stay outside for too long or don’t drink enough water. The heat can also cause power problems for homes and businesses.

    5.But it is worth remembering that the heat can cause lots of problems, too.

    A. The Australian summer is enjoyable.

    B. The hot weather also causes other problems.

    C. These homes are not like Chinese ones.

    D. Thanks to climate change, this year’s situation is even worse.

    E. That is why summer is also known as ‘bushfire season” in Australia.

    F. The dry season lasts about six months, usually between April and October.

    G. The extreme heat, which can go above 40°C in some cities, is very dangerous.

    Artificial intelligence keeps defeating human, it is making countless victories against human in different fields of life and trying to push human to the corner.

    Google’s DeepMind has defeated the world’s number one player Ke Jie. Human brain somehow has been replaced by a machine and scientists are working very hard on developing a human brain by implanting a chip and connecting it to the thick neuron that connects the two hemispheres of the brain. Well, who doesn’t want to get his brain upgraded to be as smart as the brain of Albert Einstein or Charles Darwin?

    Humans will probably one day invent a brain that can be implanted in the human skull and reprogram all the human thoughts, but this invention doesn’t seems to be happening in the foreseeable future since human brain took millions of years to evolve. Some scientists believe that human will defeat death in the next twenty hundred years but they can’t really predict how long it’s going to take to develop a human brain that can completely replace the natural brain.

    Despite of this accomplishment in the field of artificial intelligence, it couldn’t crease people from believing that science can’t stand alone. For instance, AI can imitate human brain and most of the time outperforms it, but there are still a lot of hidden secrets. AI outsmarted Ke Jie has consciousness unlike the AI, Ke Jie felt sad when he was defeated and buried his face in his hands but the AI didn’t feel happy and celebrate his victory.

    The computer of 1960 is the same as the computer of 2017 in terms of consciousness, there is no signs so far telling us that there is an algorithm(运算)that can make a conscious computer and decipher (译解) its feelings. We can predict what the future will look like according to the past, especially from scientific point of view but the development of human brain seems unpredictable and unknown.

    1.What is the possible meaning of the underlined word “neuron” in Para. 2?

    A. The tube through which blood flows in your brain.

    B. The kind of cell that carries information.

    C. The soft fatty substance in the hollow center of bones.

    D. The bony part of one’s head which encloses his/her brain.

    2.What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?

    A. It took millions of years for human brain to evolve.

    B. Humans wish to get their brains upgraded to be as smart as possible.

    C. Humans will probably invent a brain that can reprogram all the human thoughts.

    D. It is hard to develop a human brain that can completely replace the natural brain.

    3.“Ke Jie felt sad when he was defeated” is mentioned in Para. 4 to ________.

    A. show that the AI has no human emotions

    B. explain that AlphaGo is virtually unbeatable in the board game

    C. tell us the accomplishment in the field of artificial intelligence

    D. analyze Ke Jie’s psychological characteristics when playing the game

    4.What can be the best title for the passage?

    A. World Top Go Player Ke Jie Challenges AlphaGo

    B. AlphaGo Teaches To use AI To benefit Humans

    C. Google AI Defeats Human Go Champion

    One year ago, I had a special English lesson hold at the railway station. It was quite different from the regular English classes we were familiar to, for we had no textbooks, no blackboard and no fixed seats.

    Gathered at the entrance of the station, we were told to collect as much English words and sentence as possible there. Curious and excited, we walked around the station and looked everywhere, search for any information in English. Whenever an English word comes into sight, the class would burst into the cheers as if we had discovered a new world. With the Chinese translation and vividly pictures, we could figure out its meaning with ease.

    Now, this unforgettable lesson still encourages me to be an active learner where I go.

    Did you know that, in 2016, over 18 million people attended classical concerts in Germany? That’s more people than those who went to main league football matches! Earlier this year, Germany continued its celebration of classical music with the opening of a new concert hall in the heart of Hamburg. Germans are incredibly proud of it and it’s the first thing I show to my friends when they come to visit.

    Known as the ‘Elphi’ by the locals, the Elbphilharmonie is a beautiful tower of glittering glass sitting atop an old warehouse by the banks of the river Elbe. The plaza(露天广场)is open to the public an from the middle of the city’s tallest building, you can gaze across the harbour, miles of rooftops and passing ships below.

    The main concert hall seats over 2000 people and is one of the most advanced music venues in the world. Two smaller concert halls are used for jazz, world and contemporary music. In addition, if you’re unbelievably rich, you can buy one of the 45 luxurious apartments lying within the building.

    Construction began in 2007 with a budget of ?241 million and a two-year period. Fast forward ten years, the building eventually opened with a final price tag of over 800 million!

    I consider myself very lucky that the Elbphilharmonie opened during my time living in Hamburg, but unfortunately I haven’t yet been able to attend a concert. Everything is sold out for six months! For now, I’m content to visit the plaza to enjoy the impressive view over the docks and see the innovative architecture up close. Hopefully one day soon, I’ll be lucky enough to grab a last-minute concert ticket!

    1.What does “it” in Paragraph 1 refer to?

    A. Germany B. Hamburg

    C. A new concert hall D. Its celebration of classical music

    2.What is Elbe?

    A. A hall B. A river

    C. A tower D. A warehouse

    3.What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?

    A. The new concert hall can hold 3000 people at least

    B. The construction of the new concert hall is perfect

    C. It took a longer time and more money to build the concert hall

    D. The majority of audience are likely to pay for the luxurious apartments

    4.What happed after the Elbphilharmonie opened?

    A. I was invited to visit it

    B. Few concerts have been held

    C. The performance was well received

    D. People find it easy to get concert tickets

    On October 23,2016,David Pologruto,a high school physics teacher,was stabbed（刺）by his smart student Jason Haffizulla.Jason got straight A's and was determined to study medicine at Harvard,yet this was his downfall.His physics teacher gave Jason a B,a mark Jason believed would undermine his entrance to Harvard.After receiving his B,Jason took a butcher knife to school and stabbed his physics teacher.

    How can someone as smart as Jason do something so dumb?Studies show there is little or no correlation between IQ and emotional intelligence.

    During my early university years,I regarded myself as an intelligent guy.I got good marks in mathematics, physics,and other subjects.I thought such skills would surely give me a bright future.After one year of study with decent marks,I began to see two major classes of students.The first category of students turned up to few lectures, partied every weekend,enjoyed a great social life,and did minimal work to pass courses.The second category of students were intelligent and hard workers who got good grades and were very focused on their studies.Surely would these intelligent and hard-working students find the great jobs before the other lazier class of students?

    Not so.Students are often shocked upon graduation that their qualifications are not as important as they once thought.Graduates enter the workforce only to realize that co-workers hate them and less intelligent people are the ones receiving promotions.

    Educational skills are useless in some industries when interpersonal skills are absent.You can have great ideas, theories,and solve complex problems,but if you cannot effectively communicate in a persuasive and exciting manner by relating to your fellow humans,you will face an uphill battle in whatever challenges you encounter.It's not that people dislike you because of your intelligence;it's that people dislike you because you're rude and not understanding. The intelligent person with poor communication skills is insensitive or unaware of others' emotions.

    1.Jason Haffizulla stabbed his physics teacher because_______.

    A. he was unfairly treated by his teacher

    B. he was disappointed with his downfall

    C. he was not smart enough at studies

    D. he got a worse mark than usual

    2.What does the underlined word "undermine" mean?

    A. understand B. destroy

    C. dig D. found

    3.Intelligent people are hated because_______.

    A. they are not considerate enough

    B. they can't settle the challenges they meet

    C. they are envied for their intelligence

    D. they can solve more complex problems

    4.What can we learn from this text?

    A. The relationship between IQ and emotional intelligence

    B. What kind of students can succeed in college

    C. Smart people may have poorer communication skills

    D. Intelligent students will meet more challenges at work
