At LuLu, Isaac could eat a salad and a bowl of chicken soup with rice. “Isaac looked at me as if asking, ‘Is this OK?’ ” Garrett said.

Only 1 in 8 of New York’s public high schools has student newspapers – and many of those are published just a few times a year. A few more are online, which can leave out poorer schools.Rebecca Dwarka, an 18-year-old senior w ho works for her student paper said, “Facebook is the new way of finding out what happened. Nobody wants to actually sit down and read a whole article about it. This makes a ‘whole article’ sound a little like a long sentence in lonely places.”I am not nostalgic(怀旧的) about high school student newspapers and never worked for mine. I put out what was then called a personal magazine with a group of friends because we wanted to write about peace, war and rock ’n’ roll without school officials warning us not to make jokes about the local officials.School newspapers are in decline(衰落) because students now find out what happened on social networking websites. This is a little discouraging because it proves that for millions of Americans, journalism is becoming a do-it-yourself thing. Every citizen can be a reporter.When something happens, we look for social media messages. Facebook posts and Tweets have become the means by which citizens and reporters can prove, deny, pass on stories and express opinions without the press’ challenging, researching or slowing the message.But truly good journalism is a craft, not just a blog post. It requires seeing something carefully and it uses an eye for details to help prove a larger view. And even journalism that conveys an opinion tries to be fair. If school newspapers begin to disappear, I hope there are other ways for students to learn that.8．What can we infer from Rebecca’s words?A．Students like reading detailed articles.B．School newspapers are becoming unpopular.C．Facebook is the quickest way of spreading news.D．Long sentences are becoming popular in lonely places.9．What does the author think of social media messages?A．They make journalism become a craft.B．They represent the power of small voices.C．They are usually discouraging for readers.D．They are coming without careful research.10．What should good journalism do according to the author?A．Ignore some details.B．Spread a message quickly.C．Convey an opinion in a fair way.D．Act as blog posts in modern times.11．Which might be the most suitable title for the passage?A．Social media or newspapers?B．Everyone can become a reporter at presentC．Social networking brings about new journalismD．High school newspapers – an endangered species.Chinese retail giant Alibaba has developed a new automated(自动化的) vehicle which is easy to mass-produce and could serve a number of functions. These could include delivery messenger or automated coffee selling machine, it said.The Cainiao G Plus can travel at up to nine miles per hour, reports The Verge news site. It was showed at a conference where Alibaba founder Jack Ma announced a 100bn yuan ($15.5bn) would be put into smart logistics(物流).This includes devices such as warehouse robots as well as delivery aids.AI expert and author Calum Chace described the G Plus as being like the “ugly big brother” of a delivery project developed by UK firm Starship Technologies. Starship has been working on this project for several years, so the Alibaba project looks to be behin d as well as ugly, he said. “But that won’t matter. Anything to do with artificial intelligence is put in the first place for China, which has set itself the target of overtaking the US as world leader in AI by 2030”.China benefits from having free access to large amounts of data, essential for training algorithms(算法), he added, probably a disadvantage in Europe since the introduction of GDPR law, designed to protect privacy.“Don’t bet against the Chinese pulling ahead in any AI-related competition, be it self-driving cars, facial recognition, or delivery projects,” Mr Chace said.The G Plus vehicle is fitted with solid state Lidar – the laser sensors which form an important part of the system autonomous vehicles use to be aware of their surroundings.Solid state Lidar is cheaper and easier to produce than the traditional system, which involves spinning multiple lasers in circles to help build up a 360-degree image of what surrounds the vehicle. There are various developers creating their own versions but essentially it uses fewer lasers and a tiny swinging mirror.Last month BMW said that its autonomous vehicles will be fitted with solid state Lidar when they will be launched in 2021.12．What do we know about the delivery project developed by UK’s Starship Technologies?A．It is behind and looks ugly.B．It is behind but looks nicer.C．It is modern but looks ugly.D．It looks nicer and more modern.13．What is AI expert Calum Chace’s attitude toward China’s AI?A．Worried.B．Confident.C．Negative.D．Unconcerned.14．What is the aim of GDPR legislation in Europe?A．To protect personal information.B．To train people to go online properly.C．To let people have free access to data.D．To encourage more people to go online.15．What plays an important part in the system which the vehicles use to know their surroundings?A．The laser sensors.B．The tiny swinging mirror.C．The traditional system.D．The things around the vehicles.二、七选五Basic first aid is a very valuable skill to have when going on a camping trip. 16．Cuts.
