    My interest in Chinese food started years ago, when I was a young reporter for the Washington Post. Our office wasn’t far from Chinatown, 1. I found some very good Chinese restaurants.

    That was the first time that I 2. (notice) the fresh taste of the meat and vegetables of Chinese food. When I learned more about the food, I began to understand why 3. has this special feature.

    Many years ago, China had 4. energy crisis because it lost much of its wood due to over population and poor management of its forests. This 5. (lose) was very bad for the country, of course, but it turned out to be very good for the food. Wood became very expensive and hard to get, so the Chinese had to either find a substitute for their 6. (value) wood, or learn how to use it better. There weren’t any substitutes so people found ways to economize.

    In order to economize in cooking, they had to use very little wood. So they started cutting their meat and vegetables 7. small pieces before they put them in the hot oil. That way, the food cooked 8. (fast) and they saved more fuel. The food 9. (prepare) in this way kept its fresh flavor — and it’s this flavor 10. attracts people from other countries to the art of Chinese cooking.

    Have you ever received a gift that was so dearly, not your taste that you wondered if perhaps it had been handed to you by mistake? Worse, have you ever given a present and watched your friend look as though she had opened the wrong box? Maybe she responded with a polite "Why, thank you," but you knew you had missed the mark. Why do presents sometimes go wrong? And what do your choices (good and bad) reflect about your personal qualities?

    Choosing the right gift is an art, I believe. It calls for empathy — the ability to put yourself into someone else's head and heart. We're all able to do this; in fact, we're born with a kind of natural empathy. After the earliest period of childhood, however, it needs to be reinforced (加强) — by our parents, teachers, friends. When it isn't, we're not able to understand other people's feelings as sharply. This can show in the gifts we select, and so can many other emotional (情感的) qualities.

    Think back to the presents you’ve given over the past year, the time and effort you put into your selection, how much you spent, your thoughts while you were shopping, and your feelings when the receiver opened the package. Keep in mind that what you choose displays your inner world. (Of course, you may express yourself differently with different friends, relatives, and other people you know.)

    We live in a society where exchanging presents is an important part of communication. Ignoring the tradition won't make it go away. If you really dislike such a tradition, tell your friends ahead of time.

    1.The underlined expression "you had missed the mark" means "you had failed to ________.

    A. make her feel better

    B. keep your friendship

    C. get the expected effect

    D. receive a present in return

    2.Which of the following is the main idea of the second paragraph?

    A. Natural empathy needs to be reinforced.

    B. Emotional changes influence one's choice of gifts.

    C. Selecting the right gift is an ability people are born with.

    D. Choosing gifts requires one to understand the receivers.

    3.In the third paragraph, the author tells us that ________.

    A. the choice of gifts reflects one's emotional qualities

    B. one learns from what he did in the past

    C. attention should be paid to the receivers' responses

    D. one should spend more time choosing gifts

    4.The best possible title for this passage is “________”.

    A. Ways of Choosing GiftsB. An Important Tradition

    C. Exchanging PresentsD. Message in a Gift

    Good news for giant panda lovers: The cute and cuddly creature has just been brought back from the brink of extinction.

    The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) downgraded the species from “endangered” to “vulnerable” as the union released its updated Red List on Sept 4 at Hawaii.

    The downgrade came after IUCN data suggested that there were 1,864 giant pandas in the wild in China in 2014 — their population has grown by 17 percent in the decade leading up to 2014.

    Chinese conservation efforts, including forest protection and reforestation, are considered to be the driving force behind the animal’s resurgence.

    “It’s all about restoring the habitats,” Craig Hilton-Taylor, head of the IUCN Red List, told the BBC.

    The number of panda reserves in China has also jumped to 67, from 13 in 1992. Nearly two-thirds of all wild pandas live in these reserves, according to the World Wildlife Fund.

    “Just by restoring the panda’s habitat, that’s given them back their space and made food available to them,” Hilton-Taylor said.

    A loss of habitats, on the contrary, was what caused the number of pandas to drop to just over 1,200 in the 1980s, Hilton-Taylor added.

    Apart from giant pandas, the Tibetan Antelope has also moved from “endangered” to “near threatened”. According to a statement from IUCN, the animal’s numbers dwindled severely — dropping from around 1 million to an estimated 65,000-72,500 in the 1980s and early 1990s — due to commercial poaching. Rigorous(严格的) protection has since been enforced to protect the beasts and the population is now likely to be between 100,000 and 150,000.

    Despite the improved statuses, wild animals like the giant panda and the Tibetan Antelope still face great challenges. The IUCN warned, for example, that ongoing threats from climate change could eliminate more than 35 percent of the panda’s bamboo habitat in the next 80 years, which would reverse the species recent gains.

    1.What does the underlined word in pagagraph 1 mean?

    A. dangerous and threatened.B. safe and sound.

    C. weak and easily hurt.D. normal and common.

    2.Which of the following can account for pandas’ living improvement?

    A. Better climate.B. More built reserves.

    C. Well restored habitats.D. Aroused public awareness.

    3.The passage is written in order to ________.

    A. convinceB. informC. argueD advocate

    4.What does the last paragraph imply?

    A. The climate will influence the threatened species.

    B. We humans still have a long way to go to protect the endangered species.

    C. Pandas will go extinct for lack of abundant food.

    D. Habitats for giant pandas will decrease sharply.

    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.

    JOHANNESBURG—They say cats have nine lives. Now a Chinese toad(蟾蜍) has joined that club of clever survivors.

    South Africans are shocked at the endurance of a toad that got trapped in a cargo shipment from China to Cape Town, after jumping into a porcelain candlestick(烛台) that was made there. South African officials reportedly planned to put down the creature, fearing it would cause harm as an invasive species if it were let go in the wild.

    But the toad got a last-minute pardon. Mango Airlines, a South African airline, transported the toad on Friday to Johannesburg for delivery to an animal shelter, after officials decided to find a way to let the toad live. The two-hour flight was a breeze compared to the trip from China, a long way of many weeks and thousands of kilometers across the Indian Ocean.

    Airline spokesman Hein Kaiser said the toad got “first-class treatment”, sitting in a transparent plastic container with escort Brett Glasby, an animal welfare inspector. There was even a ceremony, in which the toad’s boarding pass was handed to Glasby.

    “He was the star of the show on the flight,” Kaiser said of the amphibious(两栖的) passenger. “I think every passenger stopped to have a look.”

    On landing in Johannesburg, the toad was brought out of its container for a celebrity-style photo shoot. Observers said the brown toad seemed like a cool customer. It belongs to the Asian Toad species, which breeds during the monsoon(季风) season. It is believed to have survived the trip from China by hardening its skin to prevent it from drying out, and also by slowing its breathing and heart rate—methods that help the species survive in times of drought.

    “We’ve had snakes in imported timber and scorpions(蝎子) in fruit. We were called because the toad was right inside the candlestick, and we had to break it to get it out” Glasby, the inspector, told The Star, a South African newspaper.

    1.What is the passage mainly about?

    A. Asian toads can’t get used to the life in South Africa.

    B. South Africa ignores the protection of animals.

    C. An Asian toad gets a new home in South Africa.

    D. Workers shipped a toad to South Africa on purpose.

    2.If the toad is released into the wild, ________.

    A. it will make the locals feel shocked

    B. it will lose its life in the wild

    C. it might flee into another country

    D. it might harm the native species

    3.The toad was able to arrive in South Africa alive ________.

    A. because it formed hard skin to protect itself

    B. because it escaped all attacks and hunts

    C. because it used to stop its breath in winter

    D. because it was lucky to be given a chance

    4.It can be inferred from the passage that ________.

    A. a candlestick is the best place for a toad

    B. droughts make toads live longer

    C. sometimes animals are transported accidentally

    D. no one has seen such a big toad in Africa

    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.
