The interview had been going on for about 20 minutes and everything seems to be going well. Then，suddenly，the interviewer asks an unexpected question，“Which is more important，law or Dove？”

Job applicants in the West increasingly find themselves asked strange questions like this. And the signs are that this is beginning to happen in China.

Employers want people skilled，enthusiastic and devoted. So these are the qualities that any reasonably intelligent job applicants will try to show no matter what his or her actual feelings are. In response，employers are increasingly using questions which try and show the applicant’s true personality.

The question in the first paragraph comes from a test called the Keirsey Personality Sorter. It is an attempt to discover how people solve problems，rather than what they know. This is often called an aptitude test (能力倾向测验)．

According to Mark Baldwin, many job applicants in China are finding this type of questions difficult. When a Chinese person fills out an aptitude test, he or she will think there is a right answer and they may fail because they try to guess what the examiner wants to see.

This is sometimes called the prisoner’s dilemma. Applicants are trying to act cleverly in their own interest. But they fail because they don’t understand what the interviewer is looking for. Remember that in an aptitude test，the correct answer is always the honest answer.

1.The writer wrote the passage to________.

A. give you a piece of advice on a job interview

B. tell you how to meet a job interviewer

C. describe the aptitude test

D．advise you how to find a job

2.Why do the interviewers ask such questions?

A. They want to discover what the interviewees know.

B. They are curious about the answers.

C. They try to discover the ability of the interviewees solving problems.

D. They just ask questions without thinking much.

3.According to the writer, in an aptitude test, Chinese job applicants should________.

A. not tell the truth

B. learn to tell what they really think

C. be more enthusiastic

D. try to find out what the examiner really want to know

4.From the passage we know that________.

A. job applicants are always asked such questions

B. more Chinese applicants fail to find a job

C. applicants should not act as reasonably as a prisoner

D. the aptitude test is becoming popular worldwide

The Winner’s Guide to Success

Do you know what makes people successful? To find out the answers, an American reporter recently visited some of the most successful people around the world. 1. .

Be responsible for yourself

Sometimes you may want to blame others for your failure to get ahead. In fact, when you say someone or something outside of yourself is stopping you from making success, you're giving away your own power. 2. .

Write a plan.

It’s very difficult to try to get what you want without a good plan. It’s just like trying to drive through strange roads to a city far away. 3. . Without this “map”, you may waste your time, money and also your energy; while with the “map”, you will enjoy the “trip” and get what you want in the shortest possible time.

4. .

Nothing great is easy to get. So you must be ready to work hard---even harder than you have ever done. If you are not willing to pay the price, you won’t get anything valuable.

Never give up.

5. When you are doing something, you must tell yourself again and again: Giving up is worse than failure because failure can be the mother of success, but giving up means the death of hope.

A. A good plan is like a map to you.

B. It seems to us that everyone knows this, but it is easier said than done.

C. Some people achieve success much later in life because they don’t work hard earlier.

D. You're saying, "You have more control over my life than I do."

E. Someone else’s opinions of you don’t have to become your reality.

F. Be willing to pay the price.

G. Here are some keys to success that they give.

The defeat of Lee Sedol, the world’s strongest Go (围棋) player, by a Google artificial intelligence (AI) program, looks like another milestone towards a world where computers can do almost anything a human can. It is not. There are uncountable things that only a human can do, and that no computer seems close to. The problem is that the purely human things are not economically useful to anyone. The things that computers can be taught to do are by contrast economically fantastic. But even the most powerful programs are not human, just as a shovel (铲车). They have no feelings. What they have is power, but this power is growing at a rate that should frighten us all.

It might be less frightening if computers were truly intelligent, but even the most powerful networks are less human than monstrous Martians (火星人). Their power will be used to make money for the firms that finance their development, and then for others quick and clever enough to take advantage of the new world. It is far more likely that they will increase inequality and still further remove the middle classes as we move towards an hourglass (以金钱来衡量的) society in which everyone is either very rich or very poor and likely indebted.

One of the ill effects of the spread of more intelligent computer networks is, at the same time, the spread of what might be called artificial stupidity. If AI is employed largely to replace unskilled labour, it is most productive when labour is kept unskilled or redefined that way. So much of the work in service industries is now simplified until it might be automated (自动化). And robots will never need pensions(养老金). AI is slowly reducing skilled work, like some forms of medical diagnosis (诊断), at the same time, as older doctors complain that the traditional human skills of diagnosis are falling out of medical training. The belief that everything worthwhile can be measured and then managed is far more damaging to humanity than the threat of artificial intelligence on its own.

But no victory in complicated Go games can bring us closer to truly human-like computers.

1.By mentioning the defeat of Lee Sedol, the author intends to tell us that ______.

A. computers can completely replace humans in everything

B. humans are of no practical economic values to the society

C. the power of computers is growing at a frightening rate

D. AI programs can not compare with humans economically

2.We can learn from Paragraph 2 that the power of computers will ______.

A. improve the quality of human life

B. widen the gap between the rich and the poor

C. make contributions to human development

D. promote equality at work places

3.What is the author’s attitude towards the future of artificial intelligence?

A. Optimistic. B. Supportive.

C. Cautious. D. doubtful.

Time flies! This is a third year that I have been in this school. In the past two and a half years, our school had organized many activities. What impressed me best was an activity called “Learning to Farm”. In an autumn afternoon, we were sent to a farm which we learned to plant potatoes. Having been in the city for so a long time, we were so happy to go to the countryside. After divided into three groups, we started to work. Some students cut potatoes into pieces; some dug holes, and the others put the pieces of potatoes into the hole, put the earth back and push them down hard. We continued doing that until all the work was done. Although we were exhausted, but we felt fulfilled on our way back home.

In August 2015, President Obama announced that North America’s highest mountain, Mount McKinley, would be renamed. Its new moniker（名字）, Denali, was actually its original Aleut name, meaning “the high one”. The previous name, on the other hand, only dates back to 1896—the year when it was named in honour of William McKinley（1843—1901）, who was shortly to become President of the United States. Denali is of course not the only mountain with an interesting linguistic history, so let’s travel to Asia, and across Europe, to explore the naming of those continents’ most famous peaks and mountain ranges.

The Nepalese name Himalaya comes from a Sanskrit word meaning “Abode of Snow”, from hima for “snow” and ālaya for “abode”. In Buddhist sources, Himalaya is known by various names such as Himavā and Himavanta.

In 1856, Mount Everest was named after Sir George Everest （1790—1866）, who was the superintendent （负责人）of the Trigonometrical Survey of India. Everest himself was initially displeased by the naming, since he feared that local inhabitants might not be able to pronounce it.

K2 stands for Karakoram 2, because it was the second peak to be surveyed in the Trigonometrical Survey in the Karakoram system. It was also formerly known as Mount Godwin Austen after Col. H. H. Godwin Austen, who first surveyed it. Another alternative name for the mountain is Chhogori.

Annapurna is a household Goddess for Hindus, who guarantees to her worshippers （崇拜者）that food will not fail. The name derives（源出）from a Sanskrit word meaning “one who gives nourishment”.

The Matterhorn’s name derives from the name of the nearby town of Zermatt, the second element of which is apparently Matte “meadow”, and Horn, “horn”. Horn is not an unusual element in German names of mountains with jutting（突出的）peaks. The mountain is called Mont Cervin in French and Monte Cervino in Italian, from the Italian adjective cervino “deer-like”, which conjures up （使想起）a deer’s antlers.

Ben Nevis is the Anglicized form of the Scottish Gaelic name Beinn Nibheis, which means“Mountain by the（River）Nevis”. The name of the river apparently derives from a Celtic root for “water”.

1. How many continents’ mountains are mentioned in the passage?

A. 2 B. 3 C. 4 D. 5

2.Himalaya is a mountain also named ________.

A. Nepalese B. Abode of Snow

C. Alaya D. Himavā

3. Which of the following is FALSE according to the passage?

A. Everest was unhappy about the name of Mount Everest at first.

B. K2 was once called Col. H. H. Godwin.

C. Annapurna means “one who offers food”.

D. Matterhorn comes from the name of the nearby town of Zermatt.

4.The above mountains’ names come from sources other than _________.

A. color B. a Sanskrit word

C. a person’s name D. geographic name
