3、 two months, I lost my spleen（脾） , my kidneys , and both of my legs below the knees. One day, I went home. I crawled into bed and this is what my life looked like for the next few months: me passed out, escaping from reality, with my legs resting by my side. I was completely physically and emotional
4、ly broken. But I knew that in order to move forward, I had to let go of the old Amy and learn to embrace the new Amy. And that is when I began to realize that I didnt have to be small any more. I could be as tall as I wanted or as short as I wanted depending on whom I was dating. And if I snowboard
5、again, my feet arent going to get cold. And the best of all, I thought, I can make my feet the size of all the shoes that are on the sales shelf. And I did!I started snowboarding. Then I went back to work. And then I co-founded a non-profit organization for physical disabilities so that they could g

And just this past February, I won two World Cup gold medals, making me the highest-ranked adaptive female snowboarder in the world.Eleven years ago, when I lost my legs, I had no idea what to expect. But if you ask me today, if I would ever want to change my situation,
7、 I would have to say no, because my legs havent disabled me. Theyve forced me to rely on my imagination and to believe in possibilities, and thats why I believe that our imaginations can be used as tools for breaking through borders, because in our minds, we can do anything and we can be anything. I

A branch of AI known as deep learning, which uses neural(神经的) networks to scan through large volumes of data looking for patterns, has proven so useful that skilled professionals can earn high six-figure salaries to build software for Amazon, Apple, Face
13、book and Google.The standard route into these jobs has been a PhD in computer science from one of Americas top universities. Earning one takes years and requires a personality suited to academia, which is rare among more normal folk.That is changing.Last month fast.ai, a non-profit education organiz
14、ation based in San Francisco, kicked off the third year of its course in deep learning. Since its foundation it has attracted more than 100,000 students around the globe from India to Nigeria. The course and others like it, come with a simple idea: there is no need to spend years obtaining a PhD in
15、order to practise deep learning. Creating software that learns can be taught as a craft, not as a high intellectual pursuit to be undertaken only in an ivory tower. Fast.ais course can be completed in just seven weeks.To make it accessible to anyone who wants to learn how to build AI software is the
16、 aim of Jeremy Howard, who founded fast.ai with Rachel Thomas, a mathematician. He says school mathematics is sufficient. “No. Greek. Letters,” Mr. Howard says slowly and clearly, hitting the table with his fist for the punctuation marks.Some experts worry that this will serve only to create a flood
17、 of unreliable AI systems which will be useless at best and dangerous at worst. In the earliest days of the Internet, only a selected few nerds, namely computerholics with specific skills, could build applications. Not many people used them. Then the invention of the World Wide Web led to an explosi

22、table it seems, particularly when it comes to staying in hotels and eating in restaurants.The Tall Persons Club Great Britain (TPCGB), which was formed six months ago to campaign for the needs of the tall, has turned its attention to hotels and restaurants beds that are too small, shower heads that
23、are too low, and restaurant tables with hardly any leg-room all make life difficult for those of above average height, it says.But it is not just the extra-tall whose needs are not being met. The average height of the population has been increasing yet the standard size of beds, doorways, and chairs
24、 has remained unchanged.“The bedding industry says a bed should be six inches larger than the person using it, so even a king-size bed at 66(6 feet and 6 inches) is falling short for 25% of men, while the standard 63 bed caters for (满足要求) less than half of the male population.” said TPCGB president
25、Phil Heinricy, “Seven-foot beds would work fine.”Similarly, restaurant tables can cause no end of problems. Small tables, which mean the long-legged have to sit a foot or so away from them, are enough to make tall customers go elsewhere.Some have already taken note, however. At Queens Moat Houses Ca
26、ledoman Hotel in Edinburgh, 66beds are now put in as standard after requests for longer beds from taller visitors, particularly Americans.9. What is the purpose of the TPCGB campaign? A.

Tall people pay more for larger beds. B. Guest rooms are standardized. C. Special rooms are kept for Americans. D. 66beds have taken
29、 the place of 63 beds.DOnce when I was facing a decision that involved high risk, I went to a friend. He looked at me for a moment, and then wrote a sentence containing the best advice Ive ever had: Be bold and brave and mighty (强大的) forces will come to your aid.Those words made me see clearly that
30、when I had fallen short in the past, it was seldom because I had tried and failed. It was usually because I had let fear of failure stop me from trying at all. On the other hand, whenever I had plunged into deep water, forced by courage or circumstance, I had always been able to swim until I got my
31、feet on the ground again.Boldness means a decision to bite off more than you can eat. And there is nothing mysterious about the mighty forces. They are potential powers we possess: energy, skill, sound judgment, creative ideas even physical strength greater than most of us realize.Admittedly, those
32、mighty forces are spiritual ones. But they are more important than physical ones. A college classmate of mine, Tim, was an excellent football player, even though he weighed much less than the average player. “In one game I suddenly found myself confronting a huge player, who had nothing but me betwe
33、en him and our goal line,” said Tim. “I was so frightened that I closed my eyes and desperately threw myself at that guy like a bullet and stopped him cold.”Boldness a willingness to extend yourself to the extremeis not one that can be acquired overnight. But it can be taught to children and develop
34、ed in adults. Confidence builds up. Surely, there will be setbacks (挫折) and disappointments in life; boldness in itself is no guarantee of success. But the person who tries to do something and fails is a lot better off than the person who tries to do nothing and succeeds.So, always try to live a lit

Learn to make creative decisions.C. Develop more mysterious powers.D. Act slightly above your abilities.14. What

Trying without success is meaningless.15. What is the authors purpose in writing this passage?A. To tell people the ways to guarantee su

To recommend people to develop more abilities.第二节 （共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。We are all called upon to make a speech at some point in life, but most of us dont do a very go
