I must have always known reading was very important because the first memories I have as a child deal with books. There was not one night that I don’t remember mom reading me a storybook by my bedside. I was extremely inspired by the elegant way the words sounded.
I always wanted to know what my mom was reading. Hearing mom say, “I can’t believe what’s printed in the newspaper this morning.” made me want to grab it out of her hands and read it myself. I wanted to be like my mom and know all of the things she knew. So I carried around a book, and each night, just to be like her, I would pretend to be reading.
This is how everyone learned to read. We would start off with sentences, then paragraphs, and then stories. It seemed an unending journey, but even as a six-year-old girl I realized that knowing how to read could open many doors. When mom said, “The C-A-N-D-Y is hidden on the top shelf,” I knew where the candy was. My progress in reading raised my curiosity, and I wanted to know everything. I often found myself telling my mom to drive more slowly, so that I could read all of the road signs we passed.
Most of my reading through primary, middle and high school was factual reading. I read for knowledge, and to make A’s on my tests. Occasionally, I would read a novel that was assigned, but I didn’t enjoy this type of reading. I liked facts, things that are concrete. I thought anything abstract left too much room for argument.
Yet, now that I’m growing and the world I once knew as being so simple is becoming more complex, I find myself needing a way to escape. By opening a novel, I can leave behind my burdens and enter into a wonderful and mysterious world where I am now a new character. In these worlds I can become anyone. I don’t have to write down what happened or what technique the author was using when he or she wrote this. I just read to relax.
We’re taught to read because it’s necessary for much of human understanding. Reading is a vital part of my life. Reading satisfies my desire to keep learning. And I’ve found that the possibilities that lie within books are limitless.
41. Why did the author want to grab the newspaper out of mom’s hands
A．She wanted mom to read the news to her.
B．She was anxious to know what had happened.
C．She couldn’t wait to tear the newspaper apart.
D．She couldn’t help but stop mom from reading.
42. According to Paragraph 3, the author’s reading of road signs indicates ________.
A．her growing desire to know the world around her
B．her eagerness to develop her reading ability
C．her effort to remind mom to obey traffic rules
D．her unique way to locate herself
43. What was the author’s view on factual reading
A．It would help her update test-taking skills.
B．It would provide true and objective information.
C．It would allow much room for free thinking.
D．It would help shape a realistic and serious attitude to life.
44. The author takes novel reading as a way to ________.
A．explore a fantasy land
B．develop a passion for learning
C．learn about the adult community
D．get away from a confusing world
45. What could be the best title for the passage
A．The Magic of Reading
B．The Pleasure of Reading
C．Reading Makes a Full Man
D．Growing Up with Reading
C
Computer scientists have hoped to give robots technical skills to help them recognize, process and react to humor. But these attempts have mostly failed. AI experts say that in many cases, attempts to make robots understand humor end up producing funny results, but not in the way they were supposed to.
Tristan Miller studied more than 10,000 puns (双关语) in one research project. The pun is a kind of joke that uses a word with two meanings. For example, you could say, “Balloons do not like pop music” The word “pop” can be a way of saying popular music or can mean the sound a balloon makes when it explodes. But a robot might not get the joke. Tristan Miller says that is because humor is a kind of creative language that is extremely difficult for computer intelligence to understand.
Allison Bishop is a computer scientist and she also performs stand-up Comedy. She explained that machines are trained to look for edy, on the other hand, relies on things that stay close to a pattern, but not completely within it. To be funny, humor should also not be predictable. Bishop said “this sets a great barrier for a machine to recognize and understand what is funny.”
Bishop says since robots have great difficulty understanding humor, she feels like it gives her better job security as a comedy performer. It even made her parents happy when her brother decided to become a full-time comedy-writer because it meant he wouldn’t be replaced by a machine, she added.
Despite the difficulties, Darmstadt University’s Miller says there are good reasons to keep trying to teach humor to robots. It could make machines more relatable, especially if they can learn to understand sarcasm (讽刺), he noted. Humans use sarcasm to say one thing but mean another. But Kiki Hempelmann thinks differently. “Teaching AI systems humor may make them find it where it isn’t, and they may use it where it’s inappropriate,” he said. “Maybe bad AI will start killing people because it thinks something is funny,” he added.
46. What does the author most probably want to show in paragraph 1
A．Robots’ influence on the scientific development.
B．Computer scientists’ concern about AI’s development.
C．Computer scientists’ devotion to technical skills.
D．Robots’ challenges of making sense of humor.
47. Examples mentioned in paragraphs 2 and 3 are intended to ________.
A．prove robots do poorly in funny work
B．show language can’t be taught in a set pattern
C．describe language is complex and changeable
D．explain robots aren’t as intelligent as humans
48. What can we learn about the jobs of Bishop and her brother
A．They are free from robots’ influence.
B．They are more suitable for robots.
C．They are very demanding.
D．They are very rewarding.
49. What can we infer about teaching AI system humor from the last paragraph
A．It will end up in vain.
B．It may be a double-edged sword.
C．It may help improve humans’ humor.
D．It will attract more computer scientists.
50. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A．The major drawbacks of teaching AI system humor
B．How robots’ language ability develops
C．The future development trend of AI system
D．Why robots’ humor mostly falls flat

六、阅读表达
阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。
I’m a 34-year-old man, married, lived in a nice house, and have a successful career as an educational consultant. But my life was not always so great. I had a learning disability from an early age. I went to a special school where I got plenty of extra help. Still, I suffered the rest of my school days in public schools.
My life improved remarkably when I discovered art. The art world gave me a chance to express myself without words. I went to a workshop and gradually got good at making things with clay(黏土). Here I learned my first important lesson: disabled as I was in language. I could still be smart and well express myself with clay. And my confidence came along.
I got my next lesson from rock climbing. It was a fun thing but I was scared from the start. I soon noticed it wasn’t a talent thing; it was practice. So I did it more. After about five years of climbing, I found myself in Yosemite Valley on a big wall. I learned that if you fall in love with something and do it all the time, you will get better at it.
Later I decided to apply my previous experience to learning how to read and write. Every day I practiced reading and writing, which I used to avoid as much as possible. After two hard years, I was literate.
Having gone through the long process with art, rock climbing, and reading and writing, now I’ve got to a point in my life where I know I am smart enough to dive into an area that is totally unknown, hard, but interesting.
61. What made the author’s school days difficult (No more than 5 words)
62. Why did art give the author confidence (No more than 10 words)
63. What lesson did the author learn from rock climbing (No more than 15 words)
64. What is the meaning of the underlined part in Paragraph 4 (No more than 5 words)
65. How does the author’s story inspire you to overcome difficulties in life Put it in your own words. (No more than 20 words)

Dear fellow students,
I am writing to invite all of you to take part in a series of volunteer activities organized by our school Volunteer Association. These activities are aimed at passing on love, serving the community and helping us develop a sense of social responsibility.
A variety of meaningful voluntary events are scheduled recently. First, we will pay visits to nursing homes, where we can put on performances to bring joy and warmth to the elderly. Besides, we will clean up public areas in our community and water plants and flowers to create a cleaner and more beautiful living environment. What’s more, some volunteers will work as docents at the Science and Technology Museum, popularizing scientific knowledge for visitors.
Taking part in these activities is of great significance. It not only allows us to contribute our strength to society, but also helps us gain valuable social experience, improve our communication skills and cultivate our sense of dedication.
Volunteering is a rewarding journey. I sincerely hope all of you can actively join us and make our community a warmer place with your kindness and efforts.
Yours Sincerely,
