38、BDirections: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Wild Track is an
39、 organization that aims to protect endangered animals like rhinos. They use a computer program that runs photos of animal tracks through an algorithm (演算法). Then the program makes the same observations as a tracker would, allowing scientists to know where individual animals go. However, the program
40、itself needs “training”.It starts with collecting good photos of prints from endangered animals in captivity (圈养). As people send in photos of tracks from animals in the wild, the FIT program can compare it to tracks from animals it “knows.” As the program becomes more accurate, Wild Track hopes it
41、will become a major tool for monitoring any endangered species.Anyone can help Wild Track by taking images of tracks and sending them to a partner organization called naturalist.org. The only tool you need is a digital camera or cellphone. After finding a clear track, place one ruler along the botto
42、m of the footprint and another along the left side. Below the footprint, place a note containing your exact name and the date. Holding the camera or cellphone directly above the track, take a photo showing the footprint, rulers and note. Later, visit inaturalist.org and follow the instructions on th
43、e site to send your photo.Wild Track needs photos of footprints made not only by animals in captivity but also those living in the wild. In wild places, you should take care not to disturb animals in their natural environment. If you intend to photograph in a wild area that is unknown to you, then y
44、ou should not go there alone. Instead, go with someone who is familiar with the region and experienced at tracking. 56. How does the writer begin this article about WildTrack?A.

48、d Artibo. Artibo is small. Its brain, or Al block, is a cube (立方体) that fits in your hand. That block connects to a motor block and two silicon wheels. Assembled, its about four inches tall. Artibo is much more than just a robot that you program to move around. Artibos designers want it to provide c
49、ompanionship and be a resource for learning coding. With its camera, microphone and connection to a cloud-based Al, it can respond to voice commands or function like a walkie-talkie (对讲机). It talks like a chatbot and can tell bedtime stories. It can even help you learn other languages!Artibo isnt qu
50、ite ready for stores yet, though. Its part of a crowdfunding project. Crowdfunding is a program where you put a request online to a crowd of people. Supporters can then pay large or small amounts to help you finish a project. Artibo will first be available to people who have paid to help bring it in
51、to production.Using computer code to program your own toys is nothing new. LEGO first released a robot kit in 1998. Since then, programmable robots have become one of the best-selling units in the LEGC product line. Programming robots might sound comparable to rocket science, but anyone can program
52、one using nothing more than a tablet or a smartphone and code blocks.Code blocks allow you to program simple or complex commands by assembling visual blocks of code on the canvas (画布) of a computer screen. Just drag and drop a variety of code blocks from a programming menu, link them together, and w
53、atch how your robot responds. In Artibos case coding doesnt stop there. Unlike other similar programmable toys, Artibo will also allow you to write your own code.

57、peeds and could lay the foundation for high-tech advancements like self-driving cars. But like many new technologies, its causing concern about potential health issues.The first generation of wireless introduced mobile phones, and 2G brought texting. 3G laid the groundwork for smartphones, and 4G al
58、lowed video streaming and more. 5G is expected to download data 20 times faster than its predecessor (前任), and some experts argue it could be much faster.Too much of a good thing?Its not just about streaming data faster, its about streaming more of it. On a 5G network, a user can download a movie in
59、stantly, and data will flow between connected objects without delay. The amount of data people use on mobile devices has gone up 40 times since 2010 and is only expected to increase. 5G networks are wireless companies attempts to satisfy that demand.Uncertain effectsThe untested nature of 5G, and th
60、e extensiveness of its infrastructure (基础设施), has some worried that the increased exposure could have serious health effects.Wireless safety advocates (倡议人士) have called for more studies on the effects of the exposure, and one group is trying to stop the installment of 5G networks in Chicagos neighb
61、orhoods.The federal government has safety rules that wireless companies must obey that limit human exposure to radio waves, including frequencies used with 5G.Wireless industry association CTIA says typical exposure to 5G infrastructure is comparable to Bluetooth devices and baby monitors, and there
62、 is no scientific evidence of negative health effects.Still, assurances from government agencies and industry operators are not enough for Chicago resident Judy Blake. Additional studies on 5Gs health impacts likely wouldnt soothe her either. She said, “People cant choose whether or not to be expose
63、d to this radiation.” “I dont need another test. The only test thats going to happen now is peoples lives, ”said Blake, 67.Only time will tell?Though little is known about the long-term health impact of the millimeter waves that 5G operates on, some research has shown short-term exposure could be pr
64、oblematic, said Joel Moskowitz, a public health expert at the University of California at Berkeley.The eyes and sweat glands (腺体) are among several body parts studies have shown could be at risk, Moskowitz said. Insects and plant life could also be affected, he added.The millimeter waves used in 5G
65、are absorbed by the upper layers of skin, potentially causing the temperature of the skin to rise, said Suresh Borkar, senior lecturer in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the Illinois Institute of Technology. The effects of extended rises in skin temperature “become a big unk
66、nown,” he said. This isnt the first time people will come into contact with millimeter waves: Theyre also used in airport body scanners, said Lav Varshney, assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Still, its the first time the high
67、-frequency waves will be used on such a scale, and concerns surrounding new technologies are common throughout history.“When cars first started replacing horse-drawn carriages, people were afraid of what the health impacts of traveling at high speeds would be,” Varshney said. “There has always been
68、occurrence of this fear.”63. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. 5G is faster but not safe to human beings.B. 5G features faster and more in transferring.C. 5G can meet peoples any demand in theory.D. 5G just makes little impact on peoples health.64. What can be inferred from
69、the passage?A. Millimeter waves certainly affect peoples health seriously.B. Millimeter waves will cause the skins temperature to rise.C. Its obvious that many scientists object to 5G technology.D. Its hard to say whether millimeter waves do damage to health.65. The word soothe in the last but 7 par
70、agraphs most probably means _.A. to make somebody feel calm or less worried.B. to make somebody feel happy or more excited.C. to make somebody feel disappointed or less satisfactory.D. to make somebody feel inspired or more energetic.66. The best title for this passage is _.A. 5Gs Advantages and Dis
71、advantagesB. The Development of WirelessC. 5G Health ConcernD. 5G Future PredictionSection CDirections: Complete the following passage by using the sentences in the box.

72、navoidable as theyve become a language of their ownB. People can send emoji instead of writing words to participate in a conversationC. No wonder emoji use is becoming more and more popular in various fieldsD. Today, emoji use is a standard feature in digital communicationE. But not all the people s
73、how interest in emoji especially elder onesF. Unlike most words, there isnt a certain definition for each emojiWhether youre on social media or sending a text message, you encounter emoji (表情符号) regularly. 67 . While most peoples enthusiasm for emoji increased in the smartphone era, Japan has been c
74、razy for emoji since 1999. Designer Shigetaka Kurita invented emoji for a Japanese phone company 20 years ago as a way to make it easier to express ideas in a short message. The word emoji can be translated as “picture character” from Japanese. After the release of Kuritas emoji, rival phone compani
75、es in Japan began creating their own emoji. Many emoji on our digital devices today are imported from Kuritas original set of emoji. Japans love for emoji continued well into the 2000s before the rest of the world discovered them. Apple Inc. officially introduced an emoji function in their software
76、in 2011. Soon, other phone companies from around the world made it easier for their customers to use emoji. 68 .As you scroll (滑动) through your phone, you can see the wide selection of available emoji. More than 2,000 emoji are in existence now, with more being released each year. These numbers show
77、 the popularity and demand for emoji.Why? Because words alone cant convey the complete meaning of a digital message. In digital communication, emoji express a tone or mood. More than 90 percent of people online use emoji especially ones that show emotion like hearts and smileys. 69 . For example, th
78、ey might send a red heart emoji as a response that they really like something instead of writing, “I love that.” Some emoji are also abstract enough for people to use in any way they like. You can send an emoji as an inside joke, which is only understood between you and your friend. 70 . Nor do they
79、 belong to a specific culture. You and I give emoji meaning, because emoji is a language that belongs to all of us. IV. Summary Writing71. Directions: Read the following passage.

If you own your own business and it becomes successful, you can reap huge financial rewards. And as an entrepreneur, dependent on how much your boss decides to give y
81、ou; its limited only by the success of your business. And speaking of bosses, not having a supervisor is another major advantage of becoming an entrepreneur. Entrepreneurs are often independent thinkers who want to be in charge of projects, rather than having others tell them what to do. They often
82、have big dreams that they want to pursue rather than making someone elses dream come true. For many entrepreneurs, starting a business is a way of solving a problem or helping people receive something they need. Its a way to change the world for the better.Being an entrepreneur isnt easy, however, n
83、or is it always fun. Entrepreneurs often have to work long hours, especially early on when theyre trying to get their businesses off the ground. Thats the reason entrepreneurs need to have a strong work ethic (伦理). Employees can work 40 hours a week and then stop, but for an entrepreneur, theres no
84、end in sight.Thats why another feature of successful entrepreneurs is passion; they have to be excited about what theyre doing to be willing to work hard for it. Entrepreneurs also need good communication skills to pass on that passion to others. Thats important for finding investors, getting people
85、 to buy products and attracting employees.Entrepreneurs also need to be creative people who are able to find solutions to problems they encounter. This is important from the very beginning, when the entrepreneur comes up with an initial concept of a business. But even after that initial step, creati
