【题目】 One night in December 2011, a bear came into the city of Vancouver in Canada. It walked through the streets, past houses, shops and offices until it found some food in bins outside a restaurant and started eating. In the morning, someone saw the bear and called the police. They came with a vet(兽医)from the city zoo, put the bear in a lorry and took it back to the mountains. Luckily, the bear was safe, but what happens in other countries when big animals come into cities?

Big animals usually come into cities to find food. In Cape Town, South Africa, baboons(狒狒)enter the city when they are hungry. They go into gardens and eat fruit from trees, or into houses and take food from cupboards(碗橱)and fridges. Baboons are strong animals and they can scare people. But the city can be dangerous for baboons too.

Sometimes, they are killed in traffic accidents. Human food is very bad for their teeth because it has a lot of sugar. Now, there are baboon monitors(监督员)working in Cape Town to return the animals to the countryside.

In Berlin, pigs sometimes come into the city to look for food. They eat flowers and plants from parks and gardens, and cause accidents in the streets. Some people like the pigs and they give them food and water to drink. Other people do not like the pigs and want the government and police to stop them.

In Moscow there are 35, 000 wild dogs. They live in parks, old houses, markets and train stations. Many people give them food and water. Some make small houses for the dogs in their gardens. This helps them in winter, when the temperature is-10 and there is a lot of snow and ice.

In some cities, you can see birds, insects, mice and squirrels every day. But sometimes, it is dangerous when big animals come from the countryside to find food. We need some good ideas to stop animals coming into the city without hurting them.

【题目】 Jane Eyre written by Charlotte Bronte was published in 1847, but it is still hugely popular more than 170 years later.

However, Jane Eyre had a difficult early life. At that time it was difficult for women writers to be taken seriously. Jane, the main character, is a very independent(独立的)girl and woman. She does not keep to "her place" in the world.

In fact, Jane Eyre has become the main model for all modern romantic fiction. For a love story to be a love story, there has to be conflict(冲突)between the lovers. They have to be different to each other, so different that sparks(火花)fly. This is certainly the case with Jane Eyre and Mr Rochester.

Jane and Mr Rochester are from different social backgrounds. She is lowborn; he is highborn. He wants to control her, but she refuses to be controlled. In the novel this leads to furious(激烈的)scenes between the two, and all readers remember when Rochester asks Jane to run off. She says, "heart will not agree with it."

As a love story, there must be a coming together in the end in a romance. In Jane Eyre, Rochester is blinded in the fire that burns down his home, and so he is weaker than her. When she agrees to marry him, it is a kind of victory. This feature of the novel has been copied a thousand times by others.

Jane Eyre is a rebel(反抗者)in everything she does-as a poor servant, as a woman, as a lover. Why is the novel so popular? Quite simple, the world is full of people who can share the feelings of Jane Eyre.

1The underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 means________.

A.Jane isn't accepted by other people at that time

B.Jane fights for a woman's position in the world

C.Jane has to depend on men for a high position

D.Jane wants to win a victory over Rochester

2According to the passage, which of the following sentences is TRUE?

A.Jane agrees to run off with Mr. Rochester.

B.Mr. Rochester is blinded because of Jane Eyre.

C.Jane Eyre was a great success as soon as it was published.

D.The novel Jane Eyre is a model for all modern romantic fiction.

3Why is the novel Jane Eyre still popular now?

A.Because it has a good ending in a romance.

B.Because Charlotte Bronte was a woman writer.

C.Because there are some conflicts between the lovers.

D.Because the characters show real human feelings.

4What is the writer's main purpose in writing the article?

A.To introduce the writer Charlotte Bronte.B.To introduce a rebel Jane Eyre.

C.To introduce the book Jane Eyre.D.To introduce the writing methods.

【题目】 What is the future of AI(人工智能)? Will it be a good thing? We asked four students what they think.

TinaI believe AI will be more useful in our future lives. It's now used in many fields, like phones and medicine. No one really knows what will happen if machines become smarter than humans. However, I'm sure AI will help us solve many problems.

BillI am worried that people create something that can be better than themselves. In the near future, AI will develop at a high speed. Humans may be replaced because AI robots will do lots of human jobs.

MaryI really think that AI will change the way we work, the way we live. And the way we think. Imagine if we could put a CPU inside our brain! Soon we'll be able to improve our math and memory. How exciting!

JohnThink of what's happening right now. Some robots are used to kill animals under human orders. The media often gives the impression that human-level AI of the sort we see in sci-fi movies is just around the corner, uncomfortably close. I think the killing-decision thing should not be given to the machine. Otherwise, Al will be very dangerous for humans. We need to be careful about what we ask machines to do.

1Who believes AI will help us solve many problems?

A.Tina.B.Bill.C.Mary.D.John.

2Bill thinks humans will be replaced because________.

A.we can't improve our memoryB.AI robots will do human jobs

C.we can put a CPU in our brainD.AI can help in the medical field

3Which of the following best describes John's attitude(态度)to AI in the future?

A.Worried.B.Hopeful.C.Curious.D.Uninterested.

I had never been on a real roller coaster(过山车), f1 of speed and heights. The closest I had ever got was a kiddie-coaster when I was six. I had it stopped even b2 we got up to the first slope.

So today I just waited for my friends while they took the 53 mph roller-coaster-riding. As they stepped off the ride, they all tried to talk me into taking the n3 one.

"It's not that scary," added Jackie, "I'll sit next to you."

"Look! This is the s4 ride in the park!" Christina pointed out.

Finally, I gave in and agreed to get on the roller coaster. Of course everyone had come out alive so far, but you n5 know what will happen.

As we stood in line, I got more scared. "It looks really big from down here," I worried out loud. Finally, we r6 the front of the line. I sat in a seat with Jackie and said that I would not let go of her hand until we were s7 off the ride.

As soon as we started moving, I began to scream and held Jackie's hand tightly. We started to climb the slope toward the highest point of the r8.

It felt as if something had broken. We started falling fast. The wind blew hard and it seemed like my face would blow off. I screamed so loud that I couldn't hear m9 anymore. Oh my gosh, we weren't going to stop! I closed my eyes, never stopping my scream.

CLUNK!

The ride came suddenly to a stop. I o10 my eyes, tired and dizzy(晕的). My friends looked at me, searching for my reaction.

"Can we do that again?" I asked in a low voice.
