I am proud to be a member of two cultures. Even though I am only ten years old, I have lived in two countries and in two cultures. I have lived in both Mexico and the United States.
I was born in the state of Michoacán. I was born in a small town called Quinceo. Life there was simple and peaceful. There was a small market where we would go on Sundays. There was a corral where we would go and watch rodeos. After school, my friends and I would go for a swim in a creek. My mom did not work; she stayed at home taking care of our family. Life in Quinceo was nice, but money was sometimes not enough to support us.
In 1996, the day came when my dad decided to bring us to the United States. Leaving my town was hard, but it was important that my family stay together. When I left Mexico, I had a lot of special friends and nice teachers.
When I first came to the United States, I started at a new school in Chicago. I found care and company at the school, among Hispanic people, my friends, and my teacher. She helped me all the time.
My education now is different from the one in Mexico. Here, I am studying in two languages.
I feel very happy because I am able to communicate in two languages. In my case, speaking Spanish is an indication of my Mexican heritage. Speaking English is a symbol of my triumph and the struggles that I have as an immigrant in this country. Now that I have been here three years, I am proud to offer my help and support to people who need it.
I urge those who come from Mexico and other countries to learn English and to continue speaking their native language, too. It will help them reach out to others.
24. What does the writer think of Mexico?
A. She doesn’t like it because it’s poor.
B. She was too young to remember it.
C. She loves the country and is proud of it.
D. She wants to get rid of it so she left.
25. Why did the family move to the US?
A. Because they were in need of more money.
B. Because the mother found no peace in Quinceo.
C. Because they wanted to experience a new culture.
D. Because the author could have new friends.
26. Which of the following statements about the author is WRONG?
A. She wants to be a teacher and support people.
B. She enjoyed company of friends at the new school.
C. She enjoyed life in Mexico and also in the USA.
D. Her new school teaches in English and Mexican.
27. The purpose of the passage is to _______.
A. explain how the author learns English well as a teen
B. help people to understand American immigrants better
C. introduce the life in her hometown Quinceo in Mexico
D. persuade immigrants not to drop their mother tongue
C
When you really love a book, or have just scored a new one that you’re dying to read, it can be exciting to pick up a smooth, shiny hardcover copy that creaks a little bit when you open it. But those hardcover books can be heavy, and new ones aren’t cheap, either. Sometimes, you’d just rather have a portable paperback — but if it’s a new book you’re after, you might have to wait a full year or so to get it in paperback form. Why are books released as hardcovers first?
Not so long ago, hardcover books were the only type of books. Before the appearance of mass production, print runs were limited, and books were hard-bound and expensive. Around the 1930s, that changed with the production of mass-produced paperback books, which consisted with a huge surge in reading as a leisure activity around World War Ⅱ. Paperback books were more affordable and cheaper to produce, which still holds true today.
Despite the seeming advantages of paperbacks, there are several reasons why the hardcover has persisted (持续). Because of its history, it conveys a bit more legitimacy (正统性) in the book world than the paperback does. “The hardback is a mark of quality…it shows booksellers and reviewers that this is a book worth paying attention to.” Philip Jones, editor at the Bookseller, explains to The Guardian.
But the major reason why books come out as hard covers is that people buy them, despite their higher cost. The Economist compares it to movies being released in theaters several months before they arrive on DVD. “Just as film fans like to see films on the big screen, collectors enjoy the hardback’s superior quality.” according to The Economist. And because they’re profitable, publishers can gain more from hardcovers, which “will often sell at twice the price of their paperback equivalent (相等物) but do not cost twice as much to produce,” Jones explains.
28. What can we learn about hardcover books from paragraph1?
A. They appeal to real book-lovers.
B. They are heavy but not expensive.
C. They take a long time to come out.
D. They are not preferred by book-lovers.
29. What does the underlined word “surge” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Drop.
B. Success.
C. Blow.
D. Increase.
30. Why are hardback books still printed today?
A. They are brilliantly edited.
B. They are worth collecting.
C. They convey correct information.
D. They sell better than paperbacks.
31. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To introduce hardcover books.
B. To present a new social finding.
C. To explain a confusing problem.
D. To encourage people to read books.
D
Never play games with a bot (robot) — it will find a way to cheat if it can. A team from OpenAI, an artificial intelligence lab in San Francisco, has developed artificially intelligent bots that taught themselves to cooperate by playing hide-and-seek. The bots also learned how to use basic tools to help them win.
Bowen Baker at Open AI and his colleagues wanted to see if the team-based dynamics of the OpenAI Five could be used to produce skills that could one day be useful to humans.
The researchers set their bots loose in a simulated (模拟的) environment filled with fixed walls, movable boxes and ladders, and left them to play team games of hide-and-seek. The bots each had their own view of the world and couldn’t communicate with each other directly.
At first, the hiders simply ran away. But they soon worked out that the quickest way to stop the seekers was to find objects in the environment to hide themselves from view. The seekers learned that they could move boxes around and use them to climb over walls. The bots then discovered that being a team-player — passing objects to each other or cooperating on a hideout — was the quickest way to win.
But the real surprise came when the bots started making use of problems or faults. Seekers found that if they pushed a ladder towards a wall, they could launch themselves into the air and spot hiders from above. Hiders found that they could get rid of the ladders by pushing them aside. It shows that Als are able to find solutions that humans miss, says Baker. “Maybe they’ll even be able to solve problems that humans don’t yet know how to.” However, it is a large leap (跳跃) from virtual hide and seek to real problem-solving. “The main limitation is that it is in simulation,” says Chelsea Finn at Stanford University.
32. Why did Bowen and his colleagues conduct the research?
A. To teach bots to play games.
B. To train bots to use basic tools.
C. To find if bots may cheat like humans.
D. To see the potential of bots cooperation.
33. What’s the third paragraph mainly about?
A. The tools of the research.
B. The design of the research.
C. The competitors of the game.
D. The environment of the game.
34. What does the underlined word “It” in the last paragraph refer to?
A. Passing objects.
B. Moving boxes around.
C. Making use of faults.
D. Hiding themselves from view.
35. What does Chelsea think of the finding of the research?
A. It can bridge a gap in the AI research.
B. It will not be influenced by the real world.
C. It will definitely help the real problem-solving.
D. It may not be realized out of the virtual world.

So often we find ourselves on autopilot — waking up in the same home, putting on the same clothes and taking the same transportation to the same-old job. __36__ And while it’s perfectly natural for humans to stick to routine, there’s much to be discovered beyond the limits of our comfort zones.
There is no exception to a man aged 53. __37__ He knew it was going to be hard to find another job. He also knew it was now or never to pursue his lifelong dream of owning his own restaurant. But he was too old to compete with the young and too weak to do any labor work.

children.

He had to borrow money from friends and relatives. After that, he changed the name to Black Dog Coffee, and made it alive again. Eighteen years later, they’re still there and doing better than ever. Brian says he’s extremely grateful for the decision to make a change.
A. Then came the opportunity.

I learn this lesson by helping a totally stranger out last Friday. When I was walking back home after school on last Friday, I came across an old man lain beside the street, who had tripped over because of stepping on a banana skin.

Dear John,
How is it going with you? I'm happy to have received your email in which you showed great concern about my study and my plan for the coming winter holiday. Now I'd like to share them with you.
This term has witnessed great progress in my study. First of all, I have greatly improved my English. Not only have I reviewed all the new words required in examinations but also I have a better knowledge of English grammar In addition, success in examinations has made me more confident than before, which is more important than the results of examinations.
As for my holiday plan, I will firstly celebrate the Spring Festival with my family and friends. Besides, I will try my best to make full use of the valuable time. After all, it will be only five months before I take gaokao, which is so important for my future that I must make every effort to get ready for it.
Thank you very much for your concern. Best wishes!
Yours,
Li Hua
