    20．Once，when I was a teenager，my father and I were standing in line to buy tickets for the circus （马戏）．Finally，there was only one family between us and the ticket counter．
       This family made a big impression on me．There were eight children，all probably under the age of twelve．You could tell they didn't have a lot of money．
       Their clothes were not expensive，but they were clean．The children were well-behaved，all of them standing in line，two-by-two behind their parents，holding hands．They were excitedly talking about the clowns，elephants，and other acts they would see that night with their brothers or sisters in a low voice．
       One could sense they had never been to the circus before．It promised to be highlight of their young lives．The father and mother were at the head of the pack，standing proud as could be．The mother was holding her husband's hand，looking up at him as if to say，"You are my knight in shining armor．"
       He was smiling and responding in pride，looking back at her as if to say，"You got that right．"The ticket lady asked the father how many tickets he wanted．He proudly responded，"Please let me buy eight children's tickets and two adult tickets so I can take my family to the circus．"
       The ticket lady gave the price．The man's wife let go of his hand，her head dropped，and his lips began to shake．The father leaned a little closer and asked，"How much did you say？"
       The ticket lady again quoted the price．The man didn't have enough money．
       How was he supposed to turn and tell his eight children that he didn't have enough money to take them to the circus？
       Actually we were not wealthy in any sense．So I understand how the kids would feel．I felt sorry for them．

    Paragraph 2
    That day my father and I went back to our car and drove home without any tickets．We didn't go to the circus that night，when I asked dad why he did so，Dad said，"My child，it was a desperate，heartbreaking and embarrassing situation for a father．Surely he wasn't begging for a handout，but he reminded me of my father，when I was young．"He paused for a while，as if wandering in his memory．"We should appreciate what we have obtained from life and seize every opportunity to help others．We didn't go to the circus tonight，but we didn't go without．"．

    11．Until now，little research has been conducted on the association between parents'friendships and the emotional well-being of their adolescent children．A new study from researchers at the University of Missouri suggests that mothers'friendships with other adults can impact their adolescent children's relationships with their own friends，particularly the negative aspects of these relationships such as conflict and opposition．
    Gary C．Glick，a doctoral candidate at MU，and Amanda Rose，professor in the Department of Psychological Sciences，studied the development of friendships and other peer（同龄人）relationships during adolescence and their impact on psychological adjustment．They found that adolescents may mimic the negative characteristics of their mothers'relationships in their own peer-to-peer friendships suggesting that mothers can serve as role models for their adolescents during formative years．
    "Mothers who display high levels of conflict with friends may signal to their children that such behavior is acceptable，or even standard in friendships，"Glick said．"Additional findings suggest that adolescents take for granted their reactions to their mothers'conflict with adult friends which may lead to anxiety and depression"
    Previous research of this type focused on primary-aged children，but MU researchers wanted to expand their study to focus on the formative adolescent years．Youth ranging in age from 10to 17and their mothers were surveyed separately to measure regarded positive and negative friendship qualities in both groups．Results showed that positive friendship qualities were not always imitated by adolescents； however，negative and unfriendly relationship characteristics exhibited by mothers were much more likely to be copied by the youth studied．
    "We know that conflict is a normal part of any relationship-whether it a relationship between a parent and a child，or a mother and her friends-and we're not talking physical fights but oral conflicts，"Glick said．"But being exposed to high levels of such conflict generally isn't going to be good for children．Parents should consider whether they are good role models for their children especially where their friends are concerned．When things go wrong，parents should talk with their children about how to act with their friends，but more specifically，how not to act．"

    32．The word"mimic"（in Para.2）means"B"．
    A．inherit
    B．imitate
    C．possess
    D．discover
    33．In comparison with the previous study，the new study expandedA．
    A．research subjects
    B．research themes
    C．research goals
    D．research approaches
    34．According to Glick，parents should instruct their childrenC．
    A．how to avoid any conflict with friends
    B．how to establish a sincere friendship
    C．how to deal with a troubled friendship
    D．how to put an end to a wrong friendship
    35．What does die new study reveal？D
    A．Aggressive mothers ruin their children's friendship．
    B．Conflicts and opposition form children's characters．
    C．Parent-child relationship affects children's growth．
    D．Teens mirror negative features of mom's friendships．

    8．A 33-year-old physicist in California recently quit his job to devote himself to an unpaid job teaching math on the Internet，and his lessons are reaching almost 100，000 people a month．Salman Khan's voice is heard every day on the net-by tens of thousands of students around the world who are hungry for help learning math．He has posted 1，200lessons an YouTube-lessons that appear on an electronic（电子的）blackboard，which range from（涵括）basic addition to advanced mathematics for science and finance．And they are free．
    Khan lives in Silicon Valley，with his wife，a doctor，and their new baby．He got the idea for his"Khan Academy"12 years ago，when he taught a young cousin how to convert（转换）kilograms to grams．With Khan's help，the cousin got good at math，and Khan began a new career．
    Now，Khan records his lessons himself，but he never goes on camera．"It feels like my voice in their head．You're looking at it and it feels like someone's over your shoulder talking in your ear，as opposed to（与…相反）someone at the blackboard，which is distant from you，"he said．
    When Springfield High School in Palo Alto，California invited Khan to speak in person-he immediately connected to the students there．
    The idea of short lessons that can be played over and over again attracted high school senior Bridget Meaney．She says she had trouble with math in the seventh grade．"I think the teachers are good，but they can't teach at a speed that's perfect for everyone，"she said．"I like the idea of learning something in class but then going back and pressing pause or rewind and actually getting a deeper understanding of it．"
    Originally，Khan kept his lessons short because of YouTube restrictions（限制）．Now，he thinks short is better．"Education researchers now tell me that 10minutes is how long someone can have a high level of attention．And anything beyond that and your brain switches off，"he said．
    For Khan，teaching math，science，and finance is just the beginning．He says he's ready to expand（拓展）his YouTube site to include other subjects as well．

    54．What gave Khan the idea of teaching math online？B
    A．His interest in Internet teaching．
    B．His success in helping his cousin learn math．
    C．A suggestion made to him at a local high school．
    D．His discovery that many students found learning math difficult．
    55．Why does Khan never go on camera？A
    A．He wants to create a more relaxed learning atmosphere．
    B．He wants to keep distance from the viewers．
    C．It's restricted by YouTube for education videos．
    D．He's to a shy to show his face on camera．
    56．From the passage，we know thatC．
    A．Khan travels to many schools to promote his lessons
    B．Khan gives live math lessons every day for free
    C．Khan plans to include more subjects in the future
    D．Khan set up the Khan Academy with his wife
    57．What does Khan mean by"short is better"in the 6th paragraph？B
    A．Short lessons encourage students to return to the website．
    B．Keeping the lessons short can ensure better attention．
    C．Students enjoy short mathematics lessons more．
    D．YouTube suggests short lessons for its site．

    15．For the Swiss，punctuality（守时） is a source of deep satisfaction．They obtain real joy from the fact that life unfolds on time and in a highly efficient manner．Whenever I visit Switzerland，I go through several stages of punctuality reaction．At first it delights me，especially if I'm coming from Neighbouring Italy or France with their rather more flexible approach to timekeeping．By contrast，life in Switzerland is enthusiastic and dependable．If someone says they will meet me at 2pm，they arrive at 2pm not 2：05 （or 1：55，for that matter）．I like this，for a while．
    Then it annoys me．The extreme punctuality strikes me as a kind of being mean，and I find myself agreeing with the English writer Evelyn Waugh who said that"punctuality is the virtue of the bored．"
    That is unfair though，and finally I come to appreciate Swiss punctuality for what it is：a deep expression of respect for other people．A punctual person is a considerate one．By showing up on time for everything，a Swiss person is saying，in effect，"I value your time and，by extension，I value you．"
    It's no coincidence that the Swiss are the world's watchmakers．Which came first，the precise clocks and watches or the precise people？Hard to say，but the result is the same：a nation where the trains and everything else really do run on time．
    How to explain this punctuality？No one knows for sure．But a popular theory is that，historically，it arises from the tough，mountainous area．Either you planted your crops on time and harvested them at the correct time or，well，you starved．
    Punctuality，sadly，is a dying art in many parts of the world．Mobile phones are partly to blame．We feel less compelled（紧迫的）to arrive on time if we can always text to say we're running a few minutes late．I don't sense that is happening in Switzerland，though．
    Punctuality is not without its weaknesses．Extreme punctuality also creates an expectation，and if that expectation is not met，disappointment follows．On those rare occasions when things do not function smoothly，the Swiss get nervous，confused and angry．

    24．What's NOT the author's attitude towards the Swiss punctuality？B
    A．Pleasant．B．Exhausted．C．Annoyed．D．Appreciated．
    25．What do the Swiss people want to show by arriving on time？A
    A．To show their respect for other people．
    B．To show that they have the best watches．
    C．To show that they are considerate persons．
    D．To show that they are the best watchmakers in the world．
    26．The passage is probably taken from aC．
    A．A history book
    B．A business newspaper
    C．A cultural guidebook
    D．An economic magazine．

    12．How is it that siblings （兄弟姐妹） can turn out so differently？One answer is that in fact each sibling grows up in a different family．The firstborn is，for a while，an only child，and therefore has a completely different experience of the parents than those born later．The next child is，for a while，the youngest，until the situation is changed by a new arrival．The mother and father themselves are changing and growing up too．One sibling might live in a stable and close family in the first few years； another might be raised in a family crisis，with a disappointed mother or an angry father．
    Sibling competition was identified as an important shaping force as early as in 1918．But more recently，researchers have found many ways in which brothers and sisters are a lasting force in each others'lives．Dr．Annette Henderson says firstborn children pick up vocabulary more quickly than their siblings．The reason for this might be that the later children aren't getting the same one-on-one time with parents．But that doesn't mean that the younger children have problems with language development．Later-borns don't enjoy that much talking time with parents，but instead they harvest lessons from bigger brothers and sisters，learning entire phrases and getting an understanding of social concepts such as the difference between"I"and"me"．
    A Cambridge University study of 140 children found that siblings created a rich world of play that helped them grow socially．Love-hate relationships were common among the children．Even those siblings who fought the most had just as much positive communication as the other sibling pairs．
    One way children seek more attention from parents is by making themselves different from their siblings，particularly if they are close in age．Researchers have found that the first two children in a family are typically more different from each other than the second and third．Girls with brothers show their differences to a maximum degree by being more feminine than girls with sisters．A 2003 research paper studied adolescents from 185families over two years，finding that those who changed to make themselves different from their siblings were successful in increasing the amount of warmth they gained from their parents．

    24．The underlined part"in a different family"（in Para.1）means"A"．
    A．in a different family environment
    B．in a different family tradition
    C．in different family crises
    D．in different families
    25．In terms of language development，later-bornsB．
    A．get their parents'individual guidance
    B．learn a lot from their elder siblings
    C．experience a lot of difficulties
    D．pick up words more quickly
    26．What was found about fights among siblings？A
    A．Siblings learned to get on together from fights．
    B．Sibling fights led to bad sibling relationships．
    C．Siblings in some families fought frequently．
    D．Siblings hated fighting and loved playing．
    27．Which of the following is Not Right？C
    A．First-born children pick up vocabularies more quickly than their siblings．
    B．Sibling competition has a positive influence on children's development．

    3．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 his 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．

    32．What is the possible meaning of the underlined word"neuron"in Para.2？B
    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
    33．What is Paragraph 3mainly about？D
    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
    34．"Ke Jie felt sad when he was defeated"is mentioned in Para.4toA．
    A．show that the AI has no human emotions
    B．explain that AlphaGo is virtually unbeatable in the board game
