18．Teary-Eyed Stories from Strangers
The Man at the Market
When the supermarket clerk summed up my groceries，It was 12overwhatIhadonme．Ibegantoremoveitemsfromthebags，whenanothershopperhandedmea20 bill．"Please don't put yourself out，"I told him．
"Let me tell you a story，"he said．"My mother is in hospital with cancer．I visit her every day and bring her flowers．I went this morning，and she got mad at me for spending my money on more flowers．She demanded that I do something else with that money．So，here，please accept this．It is my mother's flowers．"
A Family's Food Angel
Since my mother lost her job，our family troubled new worries：no income，the same bills，and no way to afford groceries．It was around this time that she started finding boxes of food outside our door every morning．This went on for months，until she was able to land a job．We never did find out who it was and who left the groceries for us，but they truly saved our lives．
Seven Miles For Me
Leaving a store，I returned to my car only to find that I'd locked my keys and cell phone inside．A teenager riding his bike saw me kick a tire and say a few choice words．"What's wrong？"he asked．
I explained my situation．"But even if I could call my wife，"I said，"she can't bring me her car key，since this is our only car．"He handed me his cell phone．"Call your wife and tell her I'm coming to get her key．"
"That's seven miles round trip．"
"Don't worry about it．"
An hour later，he returned with the key．I offered him some money，but he refused．"Let's just say I needed the exercise，"he said．Then，like a cowboy in the movies，he rode off into the sunset．
Breaking Bread
Last December，before work，I stopped at a deli （熟食店） and ordered an everything bagel with cream cheese．It was toasty warm，and I couldn't wait to dig in．But as I left the store，I noticed an older indigent gentleman sitting at the bus stop．Knowing it would probably be his only warm meal of the day，I gave him the bagel．
But all was not lost for me．Another customer from the deli offered me half of her bagel．I was so delighted because I realized that in one way or another，we are all looked after．

14．No matter how much better than us computers are in fields such as calculating and analyzing，we humans still have a few skills that are exclusive to us-keeping secrets，for example．But don't feel too relieved just yet，because computers may be catching up faster than we thought．
The Google Brain team has been working on computing systems called"neural networks"-systems that were designed based on how neurons work in the human brain．
This time，they gave a mission to three of the neural networks，which they named Alice，Bob and Eve．
Each of the networks had its own job-Alice sent messages to Bob，Eve tried to"eavesdrop"（偷听）and find out the messages，and Alice and Bob had to figure out a way to hide the messages from Eve．
All the help that Alice and Bob got from the researchers before the mission began was made up of a set of numbers，which Eve didn't have access to．
At first，Alice was not very good at sending secret messages．But slowly it worked on a way to encrypt （加密）them-putting information into a special code so that others could not understand it even if they got the information 一 using the numbers given by researchers．And
after practice，Bob also came to be able to decrypt （解密）Alice's messages．
Without the numbers or keys，Eve failed to understand Alice's"speech"most of the time．This test is considered a big step in the development of computers，learning skills．
"Computing with neural networks on this scale has only become possible in the last few years，so we really are at the beginning of what's possible，"Joe Sturonas of US encryption company PKWARE told New Scientist magazine．
Unfortunately，the test happened only one week after UK physicist Stephen Hawking，while speaking at Cambridge University，warned how artificial intelligence could develop a will of its own．This could be"either the best or the worst thing ever to happen to humanity"，he said．
But just as Sturonas pointed out，no matter what the possibilities of computers are in tlie future，they are just starting out．We still have plenty of time to work out a solution before they get anywhere near becoming a threat to humanity．

C．if neural networks could develop a will of their own
D．if neural networks could keep their communication private
48．Which of the following statements is TRUE about the test？C
A．Alice was responsible for sending messages because she was good at encryption．

C．Eve often found it hard to make sense of the messages Alice sent to Bob．
D．The three neural networks worked together on the numbers given by researchers．
49．What can we conclude from the article？A

9．无论我们分别多久，有多少困难要克服，我们还是血浓于水的一家人．（No matter）No matter how long we have been parted and how many difficulties we have gone through/overcome，we are still family and blood is always thicker than water．．
6．Once Chinese students in American schools were largely limited to graduate students．Gradually that trend shifted，with more students coming from China to earn bachelor's degrees at American institutions．Now，the population is widening once again，with many Chinese students studying in the U，S．from ever-younger ages．
Bill Zhou，a resident of California，though born in Shenzhen，and his wife are currently housing just such a student：Hsu，also from Shenzhen，who is living with Zhou （a paid arrangement） while he attends a private，religious institution．．
Although Zhou is caring，he knows there are many people taking advantage of the trend who lack conscience．In a Lost Angeles Times article，Zhou described his reservations about the current system．"They don't know if the school is good．They don't know if the home stay is good．But everyone else is doing it，so they do it，too，"Zhou said，addressing the parents of so-called parachute（降落伞）children，who earn the nickname by"parachuting"into the U．S．by themselves，unaccompanied by family．
Based on statistics，Zhou has reason to be concerned．A recent article in Sixth Tone'，stated that the number of Chinese students enrolled at U．S．secondary schools increased from just 647 in 2006 to more than 46，000 in 2016．Those numbers are reflected in Chinese society and even popular culture，where a new television drama titled"A Love for Separation"was released several months ago．
"It is a common misunderstanding that studying in a private American high school is easier than in China，a mother told．"My son is under enormous pressure to compete with accomplished peers．He was very lonely during his first year of high school，and found it hard to assimilate into an unfamiliar environment．"
Chinese parents send their teenagers abroad for varieties of reasons．For some students，it is to escape the strict Chinese education system； for others，it is a second chance to recover from bad grades or a low score on China's college entrance exam．For still others，it is simply a lifelong dream．

24．What's Bill Zhou's attitude towards the trend of growing parachute children？C
A．Positive'．B．Indifferent      C．Concerned       D：Opposed
25．What does the underlined phrase"assimilate into"in Paragraph 5 mean？D
A．show respect to   B．get rid of     C．take advantage of    D．fit in with
26．Which is not the reason why increasing parents send their little children abroad？B
A．They just follow the crowd．
B．They just show off their large treasure．
C．They want their children to break away from Chinese education system．
D．They want to give their children with poor grades another chance to succeed．．
27．What's the author's purpose in writing the text？D
A．To help these parents to choose a reliable home stay．．
B．To remove these parents doubts about studying abroad．．
C．To encourage these parents to send their kids abroad as early as possible．
D．To remind these parents to be more sensible before sending their kids abroad..
13．_____ I make a promise to help others，I will manage to complete it．

3．I thought she had stopped on the side of the road because of mechanical problems．The real reason was so much more inspiring．
Recently when the air turned warm and summery，I went for a drive through the local countryside．I had no destination in mind，but the sun was shining and the animals were out searching for food in the forest．What a great day!
Suddenly，I came upon a car on the side of the road．I watched an older woman get out of her car and walk down to the ditch（沟渠）．I thought she maybe  had some mechanical or physical problems．I became concerned and decided to stop my car to see if I could be of any help．First I introduced myself，and then I asked if she was all right．
She told me that she had just stopped to pick up rubbish that some thoughtless traveler had thrown out of the window．She invited me to look inside her car and see how much trash she had already collected．
I told her that I wrote articles for the local paper and asked her if I could use her name to report what she did．"Oh my god!no，"she said without thinking．"I'm not doing this for recognition．We live in a beautiful country，and I try to do my little part to help keep it that way．"
So the next time you go out for a drive，be thankful that there are people out there who choose to protect the earth．And consider taking some time to keep the roadside that you pass by clean．You'll get some exercise，fresh air and a good feeling knowing that you have done a lot to help keep our country beautiful．

24．Why did the author drive out？B
A．To visit a forest     
B．To enjoy nature
C．To search for animals．
D．To find something to eat
25．At first the author thought the woman had got out of her car because sheA
A．had some trouble     
B．was going to help others
C．wanted to pick up rubbish   
  D．had been stopped by other cars
26．What did the author think of the woman's action？C
A．It was usual．
B．It was funny．
C．It was inspiring．
D．It was meaningless．
27．What did the author mainly express in the last paragraph？C
A．He reminded people to be thankful．
B．He stressed the importance of helping others．
C．He called on people to protect the environment．
D．He promised to try his best to report the woman．
10．A．Of course，you don't always need to wear a suit．
B．Besides，men care more about dress codes than women do．
C．In short---remember to keep your whole style plain and simple．
D．Companies have seen that the more relaxed attitude to dress not only promotes comfort，but also encourages younger workers to stay．
E．All in all，not every company allows it's staff to wear earrings．
F．First，let's look at color．

It's clear that business wear has changed in the last few years for both men and women．Even traditional business such as law companies have altered their dress codes，from"smart"to"smart-casual"．（92）DWhat's less clear，however，is what"smart-casual"actually means．I hope to give you a few basic tips here．There are many factors involved：for example，the particular industry you work in，how much contact you have with the public and your position in the company．The seasons even have a party to play----what's acceptable in the summer might not be in the autumn or winter．
So does"smart-casual"mean you can come to work in tracksuit bottoms and scandals，or does it  just mean that you don't have to wear a tie？（93）F Fashionable colors for suits for both men and women this season are still the traditional gray dark blue and black．You see someone wearing gray and it indicates a conservative professional image；dark blue says you're trustworthy； and black always look smart and classy．These colors don't have to look boring，however try wearing a short or blouse with a splash of color．Pale blue，pink，or lilac are better than loud colours like bright pink and dark red．
（94）CMen can go for a sports-type jacket，with a shirt or smart jumper．You can wear well-cut trousers made of wool，or a good pair of chinos．Women can wear trousers suits or skirt suits．You can also wear more fashionable trousers or a blouse or a skirt，and top．But be careful to avoid wearing baggy，loose clothes，very short skirts and lots of logos and patterns．If in doubt，go back to suit．You need a similar attention to jewelry，bags and other accessories：you should try to resist large earrings and huge colorful bags．（95）E．

8．"YOUR password has expired （过期），"a message said on my screen，with instructions for changing it．Coming up with a new code doesn't seem like a big deal，unless you work at my company，where we have to change it monthly，using at least one uppercase （大写的） character，one lowercase character，one symbol，and one number．Oh，the whole password can't be fewer than eight characters．And I can't use any of the same passwords I've used in the past three months．
Suddenly I was furious．What didn't make it any better was that I was deeply depressed after my recent divorce．Disbelief about what she had done to me was all I thought about every day．
I remembered a tip I'd heard from my former boss．He'd said："I'm going to use a password to change my life．"
I couldn't focus on getting things done in my current mood．There were clear signs of what I needed to do to get control of my life again．
My password became the sign．My password reminded me that I shouldn't let myself be a victim of my recent breakup and that I was strong enough to do something about it．
I made my password Forgive@h3r．
I had to type this several times a day．The simple action changed the way I looked at my ex-wife．That constant reminder led me to accept the way things had happened and find a new way of dealing with my depression．As the month wore on，I felt a slow healing begin to happen．By the time my server asked me to reset my password the following month，I felt free．
One month later，my dear Exchange server asked me yet again to reset my password．I thought about the next thing that I had to get done．
My password became Quit@smoking4ever．
I quit smoking overnight．
This password was a painful one to type during that month，but doing it helped me to yell at myself in my mind as I typed that statement．It motivated me to follow my monthly goal．
One month later，my password became Save4trip@thailand．
Guess where I went three months later：Thailand．
Seeing how these reminders helped to achieve my goals kept me motivated and excited．While it's sometimes difficult to come up with your next goal，keeping at it brings great results．

41．Which of the following passwords fits the company's requirements？D
A．Seeme@like
B．Dream4future
C．Visit﹩me
D．Stay@4ever
42．What does the underlined word"furious"mean in the second paragraph？B
A．excited
B．angry
C．tolerate
D．pleased
43．Why couldn't the author focus on doing things？C
A．Because he couldn't come up with a new password．
B．Because he always forgot his password．
C．Because he was in low spirits due to his divorce．
D．Because his wife stole his password before their breakup．
44．What happened to the author after he had used his password to change his life？A
A．He finally overcame his depression and forgave his ex-wife．
B．He started smoking to heal his broken heart．
C．He quit his job and went traveling around the world．
D．He became furious about his passwords getting longer and longer．
45．What message does the author intend to convey through his story？D
A．Never let yourself be a victim of others'faults．
B．Be patient with the healing process for any pain．
C．Constant reminders can be positive as well as negative．
D．Setting yourself a goal and keeping at it can bring great results．
