Studying abroad is becoming increasingly popular in China. But Li Maoyuan, an American-born Chinese girl, chose to be back to study in China. Earlier this year, the 13-year-old left the US and     41     a ninth-grader in Chongqing, Southwest China.

“I want to learn more about     42    culture in a real Chinese school,” said Li.

Before she came to China, Li had learned about 700 Chinese characters from    43    mother. However, while studying at Chongqing No. One High School, Li found that Chinese learning was much more    44    than she had thought. The hardest part was ancient Chinese poetry (诗歌). It seemed impossible to remember the characters.

So Li catches every possible moment to do her Chinese exercises. She keeps     45     questions after class and checking the dictionary many times a day. Now the girl is able to recite articles like Zhuge Liang’s Northern Expedition Memorial (《出师表》).

46    Chinese learning, getting used to the learning environment is also a challenge for her. Li finds that Chinese students hardly have a chance to express themselves in class,    47    teachers speak most of the time. As an active student, it really made her upset. But she soon found a way out.

“Although I can’t talk    48    in class, teachers here are patient and nice. They can an swer your questions any time after class.”

As a native English speaker, Li also helps her     49     practice oral English. She suggests that they speak to her in English after class. It turned out to be a great idea. Now during the class break, Li is the most popular student because everybody wants to    50    her!

Many of us have had this experience: You are waiting at a bus station when someone nearby begins to smoke. You move away, but there isn’t much you can do about it.

In Beijing, a new law is set to fight ag ainst  smoking. It is regarded as “China’s toughest ever” tobacco control (控烟) rule. Smoking is not allowed in all indoor public places, including public transportation. People who break the rule will be fined (罚款) up to 200 yuan, 20 times as much as the present 10 yuan.

Smoking in schools is specifically mentioned in this rule. Teachers cannot smoke in front of students in primary and middle schools. Schools should also help students drop smoking and tell them about the harmful results.

To get everybody to join in the movement, Beijing has set up a report hotline (12320) and WeChat account (Smoke-free Beijing). People can send photos to report smokers.

China is not the only country fighting smoking. In March 2004 Ireland became the first country to prevent people from smoking by law in workplaces and public areas. Many countries, including England and the US, then followed.

We often praise the world of science. It explains the world and  makes our lives easier with technology. One of the most exciting fields in science is artificial intelligence (人工智能 AI). This is an area where scientists are working on making machines that think like humans.

However, Professor Stephen Hawking, a well-known British scientist, is not for this kind of technology. “The development of artificial intelligence could spell(预言) the end of human”. He said so just after using the machine made for him. As Hawking has a serious illness called ALS, he needs an AI computer to communicate. The computer learns how Hawking thinks and suggests the words he may want to use next.

This kind of AI is very useful, but Hawking fears the possibility of making machines that can be smarter than humans. And it’s easy to imagine how terrible things may be. We can see on TV some big killer machines that are far cleverer than us. “Humans can’t compete because of their slow biological evolution (生物进化)” said Hawking. But no everyone holds the same idea towards AI technology. “I believe we can make good use of the technology for a long time. It will help us to solve many problems in the future.” said Rollo Carpenter, CEO of Cleverbot in the UK.

In which way do you think AI is heading? Should we be hopeful or fearful?

(   )54. According to the passage, AI machines can  ___________ nowadays.

A. make our lives easier      B. think like human beings

C. be much smarter than humans    D. have nothing to do with humans

(   )55. The underlined word “this” means ___________.

A. A big killer machine      B. A serious illness called ALS

C. The AI computer Hawking uses       D. The AI technology scientists work on

(   )56. Which of the following is TRUE?

A. Hawking’s AI computer fully knows what he thinks about.

B. The AI technology is cleverer than humans now.

C. Hawking thinks humans might die out because of the development of AI.

D. Hawking is a famous British scientist and against human intelligence.

(   )57.The best title for this passage may be ___________.

A. The Development of AI

B. AI：a Friend or an Enemy?

C. The Future of Human Beings

D. The Fight between Humans and AI

Lots of us have dreams of doing big business when we grow up. However, Moziah Bridges, a young boy in the US, says that we can just start now!

Bridges is now the CEO of his Mo’s Bows company. He has sold $200,000 (1.24 million yuan) worth of handmade bow ties (领结) and other men’s fashion accessories (饰品). The boy designs all the bow ties together with seven other workers in his company, including his mother and grandmother.

“Mo is the CEO of the company, but I’m the CEO of Mo,” Bridges’ grandma said.

About four years ago, when Bridges went shopping for bow ties, he found they were only in “ugly” black and red. He wanted a change. So he asked his grandma to teach him how to make a tie, and finally developed the talent of creating bow ties. However, his very first bow tie didn’t look nice.

“It’s like someth ing that nobody would wear,” he said. But Mo kept on practicing. He used colorful cloth with different pictures. And his parents and friends started to like his works. He tried to sell them online to several stores in the south. Mo’s Bows soon became popular. Bridges met his first investor, Daymond John, CEO of the famous US clothes brand FUBU. John not only put money in Mo’s Bows, but he also introduced Bridges to other important businessmen in the fashion circle. Now the young boy’s business is doing great. As Bridges’ mother said, “You don’t have to wait until you’re older. If you have a dream, go for it.”

It’s a scene in many homes around the world: tired-eyed teens wake to the sound of their alarm clock. Another school day begins, and we all wish we could have just one extra hour of sleep.

For lucky high school students in England, they’re now going to reset their alarm and get an extra hour of sleep. Instead of starting school at 9 am, students will begin the academic day at 10 am.

This is part of a huge study by Oxford University. The experiment will see whether later classes can improve exam results.

More than 100 schools across England will join the four-year experiment, which includes tens of thousands of students. It is based on scientific evidence that teenagers are out of step with traditional school hours.

“We know that something funny happens when you’re a teenager,” lead sleep researcher Colin Epsie told The Telegraph. “Your parents think it’s because you’re lazy and everything would be OK if you could get to sleep earlier. But science is telling us that teenagers need to sleep more in the mornings.”

A similar experiment in 2009 saw an improvement of 19 percent in exam scores for major subjects – such as math and science.

Teenagers’ sleep cycles, on average, begin two hours after adults. Neuroscientists (神经科学家) say tee ns have a built-in clock, which makes them more likely to go to sleep around midnight. As well as  not feeling fully awake until between 9 am and 10 am. This body clock stays until the age of 19 for females and 21 for males.

Schools are places for learning, as well as education laboratories – finding out the best ways to learn and increase knowledge. Yet we’ll have to wait until 2018 to find out these exciting results!

(   )62. England high school students usually start school ___________.

A. at 7 am      B. at 8 am      C. at 9 am      D. at 10 am

(   )63. Teenagers struggle to get up early because ___________.

A. they are too lazy to get up early

B. they stay up studying late at night

C. their sleep cycles are later than adults

D. their body clock won’t start to work until 9 am

(   )64. The aim of the experiment in 2009 was to ___________.

A. find out whether later classes can improve exam results

B. test how students’ body clocks work

C. compare teenagers’ and adults’ sleeping patterns

D. help teachers to find the best way  to teach

(   )65. The article is focused on the topic that ___________.

A. teenagers need more sleep than adults

B. students might need more hours’ sleep in the morning

C. boys need more sleep in the morning than girls

D. it is important to do more experiments on education

Language is always changing and developing. This may not be a bad thing. If English hadn’t changed for a long time, we wouldn’t have words to describe telephones, washing machines, computers or some other new things.

Language changes for several reasons. First, it changes because the needs of its speaker change. New technologies, new products, and new experiences need new words to express them clearly. Another reason for change is that different people have different language experiences. People who have different ages, jobs, education levels(水平) may use different sets of words and expressions.

How does language develop then? On the one hand, many of the languages changes begin with young people. When young people communicate with others of their own age, their language grows in grammar, words and expressions that are different from the older people’s. Some have a short lifetime but others can influence the language for long. On the other hand, we get new words in many different ways. We borrow them from other languages, we create them by making words shorter or combining words and we make them out of proper names.

Languages that don’t change over time are considered dead languages. The fact that English changes so much shows that it is alive and well.

71. Is the changing of language a bad thing?

______________________________________________________________________________

72. Why do people use different sets of words and expressions according to the passage?

Weeks ago, students at Beijing No. 4 High School saw the launch (启动) of a special activity at their school. It is called “Looking for Good Boys and Good Girls”.
