AEVERY year when Mother’s Day cards show up in the stores, I remember the woman who brought me into this world.I remember her on other days, too, but especially on Mother’s Day. She nevercared much for gifts. I could just send a card and give her a call and she’d be as happy as a mother clam.She died nearly 20 years ago of lung cancer (肺癌) after smoking for most of her 70 years. A few months later, I was in a grocery store picking out a Mother’s Day card when suddenly I realized I had no one to send it to.I drove home, ordered a pizza for dinner and started a new Mother’s Day tradition: Remembering my mother.It’s not as easy. I’d rather mail a card or make a phone call.Each Mother’s Day, I pick a different theme, a different part of who she was that I want to recall. This time it’s some of the things she said. For example:“You will have children one day and you will know how I feel.” It was a threat more than a promise. She was right. I did and I do.“Pretty is as pretty does.” I’m still working on that one.“You can’t get blood from a turnip (郁金香).” I never knew what that meant, and I stil l don’t.When I was a teenager and I dared to suggest that she should get a life, she replied: “I work five days a week, clean my house on Saturday, go to church and visit my mama every Sunday. I don’t need a life. I need help.”One Christmas, when we fell on hard times she said: “Life is a bank. Sometimes you give, other times you take. Either way, it’s all the same bank. But try to remember how hard it is to take, because one day, you will do the giving.”The last thing she said that I can’t forget: “You don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone.”I remember my mother. And someday, when I’m gone, I hope my children will remember me. But in the meantime, I’ll gladly take a card or a phone call.21. What does the underlined part show?A.

The difference may be more important than you think.There are many different accents in the UK, some of them very difficult for foreigners to understand. In the south, many people speak with what is known as a “posh” accent, an accent that makes people think of the British Royal (王室的) Family and upper-class people in the UK. In this accent, “grass” sounds more like “gr-ar-ss”, and “bath” sounds more like “barth”. Often, British people who take jobs on TV or elsewhere have to change their own accents and make them “posher” to be accepted.So, do accents still matter? Last year Alexander Baratta, PhD, from the UK’s University of Manchester spoke about “accentism” – people being treated worse because of how they speak – and compared it to racism (种族歧视), according to The Guardian. In a study, he asked people why they changed their accents and how it made them feel.It’s not hard to see why they do it – everyone wants to do well in life, and the best way to do that i s to “fit in”. Still, there is a price to pay, Baratta said. Facing the world with a voice that is not your own can hurt “your sense of being”. This was shown when a third of those questioned said they were “ashamed” about changing their accents.What can be done to stop people changing how they sound? Well, times may be changing, too. The Guardian’s leader writer Hugh Muir has a suggestion: “The listener must adapt (适应) when needed. The speaker must make themselves understood, whatever accent they choose.”So as you’re learning English, don’t worry too much about how your accent makes you sound –as long as it’s clear what you’re saying!25. What is the article mainly about?A. How we should deal with different accents.B. Why we should learn a posh British accent.C. The problem of accentism and ways to deal with it.D. Why some British people like to change their accents.26. According to the article, a posh accent reminds people of ______ in the UK.A. working-class peopleB. upper-class peopleC. poorly-educated peopleD. fashionable young people27. We can see from the article that changing their accents ______.A. made most of the people asked feel poshB. meant that some of the people asked were treated worseC. made some of the people asked feel bad about themselvesD. made most of the people asked feel unsure of themselves28. What are people advised to do with their accents?A. To make themselves clear in the accent they choose.B. To warn listeners to accept different accents.C. To make no changes to their accent at all.D. To adapt their accent to their listeners.CIN a busy world in which people struggle with their to-do lists, it would be nice to have a personal assistant to help out. So what about a robot secretary? This was the picture painted by Chinese search giant Baidu as it showed off its artificial intelligence (人工智能) assistant at the company’s Baidu World conference in Beijing on Sept 8.According to Baidu CEO Robin Li, the new digital assistant, called Duer, can help users place restaurant orders, buy movie tickets and book flights by looking at their Internet search history, location, and other data.uDuer has been added to the Baidu Android search app shared by millions of smartphone users across China. The company is considering the possibility of developing an independent app or even a Duer robot.Baidu's achievement is an example of the rise of virtual (虚拟的) assistant software that copies the skills of human secretaries. Apple, with its Siri service, is a leader in this area. Other high-tech firms have also been catching up with similar products, such as Google Now (Google, 2012), Cortana (Microsoft, 2014), and Echo (Amazon, 2014).The tech world is in the grip of (陷入) an “AI spring”, said Oren Etzioni, executive director of the Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence in the US. Of all the new fronts this has opened up, the development of virtual assistants has become “one of the most exciting”, he told the Financial Times.The virtual secretaries offered by the tech giants are part of their wider efforts to master artificial intelligence and, in particular, “machine learning”. With a stronger ability to deal with large amounts of data and recognize patterns (图形), future machines are getting better at what they do.Voice recognition is also improving quickly. Two years ago Google Now used to miss around 25 percent of words spoken, but today it only misses 8, according to Google’s Aparna Chennapragada.As virtual assistants catch on, the future of the consumer Internet is likely to look different: instead of typing keywords into search engines (搜索引擎), future users can enjoy a more personalized service. Meanwhile, individual apps will also be taken over by powerful software assistants.So is it time to say goodbye to our apps and websites? Probably not yet. But in a world in which users are surrounded by always-connected devices, “the idea of opening a Web page to read something will feel very old-fashioned”, Chennapragada told the Financial Times..29. What can Duer do according to Robin Li?a. Book flights and buy movie ticketsb. Place restaurant ordersc. Give information about historyd. Do what human secretaries canA. abB. bdC. acdD. bcd30. What developments have artificial intelligence services gone through?A. They have become able to think like human beings do.B. They have mastered learning skills like human beings do.C. They have gotten better at recognizing patterns and voices.D. A software assistant that is more powerful than Siri has been designed.31. What will be a future trend in the consumer Internet?A. Individual apps.B. Powerful software assistants.C. Websites with search engines.D. Robots with artificial intelligence.DAP Exam Day RulesTaken each May by students all over the world, the AP Exam is the final step you take after a year of hard work in an AP class.
