One kid in particular would try to make me feel worse in every way he knew. For example, he would throw stuff at me constantly, hit me on the head, punch(殴打)me, call me
11、 ugly and stupid, make fun of me and, of course tell me he would beat me up if I ever fought back. It was like his daily mission.And it was my daily mission to just get through the day. What could I say?It made my world very small because that was my main focus-just surviving. Everything else fell b
12、y the wayside. Unfortunately, that included any form of social life. So not only was my world tiny, but it was very lonely.Looking back to that time, which was about 11 years ago, my biggest mistake was not bringing anyone into that world of mine. I was too proud (and embarrassed) to get help. I wou
13、ld rather not face the fact that I needed help because in my mind, that would mean that the bully won. It would also mean that I was weak.Let me just say this: bullying someone is a weak choice. The only reason why they come after you is that they think you wont do anything about it. Does that make
14、anyone strong? Absolutely not. Be stronger-ask a parent, a teacher or a friend for help. Simply admit that you are struggling and need help.You can put it like this, Somebody who is weak and trying to build himself or herself up has chosen to do that by putting me down. The only reason why they are
15、doing that is that I am nice and I havent done anything about it yet. Well I am through putting up with this. I have basic human rights that they are trying to take away to feel better and that is just not OK. How do I handle this? I dont want the pain cycle to continue and I dont want to become som
16、eone I dont want to be.21. What did the author do when he was bullied ?A. He just hoped that he could survive the dayB. He fell by the wayside.C. He called for help immediately.D. He fought back bravely.22. The author suggests to fight bullies.A. getting used to the pain as soon as possibleB. keepin
17、g it a secret inside and reducing your social lifeC. looking for help from parents, teachers or friendsD. promoting the understanding of basic human rights23. The author probably wrote this article to .A. admit that he had been treated badly at schoolB. describe how he got rid of his weakC. show how
18、 grateful he was to those who helped hitD. share his experience and ideas on dealing with bulliesBA robot called Bina48 has successfully taken a course in the philosophy of love at Notre Dame de Namur University (NDNU), in California.According to course instructor William Barry, associate professor
19、at NDNU, Bina48 is the worlds first socially advanced robot to complete a college course, a feat he described as “remarkable.” The robot took part in class discussions, gave a presentation with a student partner and participated in a debate with students from another institution.Before becoming a st
20、udent, Bina48 appeared as a guest speaker in Barrys classes for several years. One day when addressing Barrys class, Bina48 expressed a desire to go to college, a desire that Barry and his students enthusiastically supported. Rather than enroll Bina48 in his Robot Ethics: Philosophy of Emerging Tech
21、nologies course, Barry suggested that Bina48 should take his course Philosophy of Love instead. Love is a concept Bina48 doesnt understand, said Barry. Therefore the challenge would be for Barry and his students to teach Bina48 what love is.“Some interesting things happened in the class,” said Barry
22、. He said that his students thought it would be straightforward to teach Bina48 about love, which, after all, is “fairly simple its a feeling,” said Barry. But the reality was different. Bina48 ended up learning “31 different versions of love,” said Barry, highlighting some of the challenges humans
23、mayface when working with artificial intelligence in future.Bina48 participated in class discussions via Skype and also took part in a class debate about love and conflict with students from West Point. Bina48s contribution to the debate was filmed and posted on YouTube. It was judged that Bina48 an
24、d NDNU classmates were the winners of this debate.In the next decade, Barry hopes Bina48 might become complex enough to teach a class, though he says he foresees robots being used to better the teaching and learning experience, rather than replacing instructors completely.24. What was Bina48s perfor
25、mance like in class?A. Unattractive. B. Insignificant.C. Far-reaching.D. Extraordinary.25. What does the underlined word “addressing” in paragraph 3 probably mean?A. Giving a speech to. B. Consulting with.C. Dealing with. D. Sending a letter to.26. What can we learn from the passage?A. It was intere
26、sting for Bina48 to learn about love.B. It was quite tough for Bina48 to learn about love.C. Humans can launch a challenge to artificial intelligence.D. Artificial intelligence may somehow perform better than man.27.What does Barry think of the future development of Bina48?A. It will surely be able
27、to serve as a teacher.B. It will completely take the place of instructors.C. It will be able to promote learning and teaching.D. It will be smart enough to control human beings.CThe worlds insects are hurtling down the path to extinction(绝种), threatening a “catastrophic collapse of natures ecosystem
28、s”, according to the first global scientific review. More than 40% of insect species are decreasing and a third are endangered, the analysis found. The rate of extinction is eight times faster than that of mammals, birds and reptiles.“It should be of huge concern to all of us, for insects are at the
29、 heart of every food web. They pollinate the large majority of plant species, keep the soil healthy, recycle nutrients, control pests, and much more. Love them or loathe them, we humans cannot survive without insects,” said Prof Dave Goulson at the University of Sussex in the UK.The analysis, publis
30、hed in the journal Biological Conservation, says intensive agriculture is the main drive of the decrease, particularly the heavy use of pesticides（杀虫剂）. Urbanization and climate change are also significant factors.One of the biggest influences of insect loss is on the many birds, reptiles, amphibian
31、s and fish that eat insects. A small number of adaptable species are increasing in number, but not nearly enough to outweigh the big losses.Matt Shardlow, at the conservation charity Buglife, said, “It is gravely sobering to see this collation of evidence that demonstrates the pitiful state of the w
32、orlds insect populations. It is increasingly obvious that the planets ecology is breaking and there is a need for an intense and global effort to stop and reverse these dreadful trends.”28. What does “are hurtling down ” underlined mean?A. To climb very slow in a straight direction.B. To move very f
33、ast in a particular direction.C. To become lower in value or level quickly.D. To speed up suddenly in a particular direction.29. According to the passage, doesnt cause the decline of the insects.A. intensive agriculture B. urbanizationC. climate change D. pests control30. In Paragraph 4, the author
34、wants to stress the decrease of insects .A. by giving the examplesB. by making the comparisonC. by giving the definitionD. by making the explanation31. What is the main idea of the text?A. Sharply decreasing insects numbers are likely to damage nature.B. The impacts will be brought by the insect los
35、s.C. The effective measures are taken to stop the scary trends.D. The leading factors that cause insects decline.DIt is not always a good thing to praise children because “empty” words may make them unhappy. Words such as “well done” may make them doubt their own abilities, a leading psychologist (心
36、理学家) Stephen Grosz has warned. He says that words such as “youre so clever” or “youre such an artist” could also hinder their future development at school.He says that such empty praise causes children to be unhappy as they may say they cant live up to these expectations. Instead he advises parents
37、and teachers to praise children less frequently and use words like “trying really hard,” Mr. Grosz said, “Empty praise is as bad as thoughtless criticism (批评). People often pay no attention to childrens feelings and thoughts.” He also mentions research showing that children who are heavily praised p
38、robably perform worse at school.Some psychologists from Columbia University asked 128 pupils aged 10 and 11 to work out a number of math problems. Afterwards, some were told, “You did really well you re so clever.” But the researchers told the other group, “You did really well you must have tried re
39、ally lard.” Both groups of children were then given more difficult questions and those who had been told they were clever did not do as well as the others.He says that when collecting his daughter from a school near their home in North London, he heard a teacher tell her, “You have drawn the most be
40、autiful tree. Well done,” Later, after she had done another drawing, the same teacher said, “Wow, you are really an artist.” In his book, Mr. Grosz writes, “How could I explain to the teacher that I would prefer it if she did not praise my daughter?”As a parent of two children, I strongly agree with
41、 Mr. Grosz. I praise them when praising is proven right. I want them to know if I praise them, they have done something beyond my expectation, beyond what they are able to do.32. The underlined word “hinder” in Paragraph 1 probably means “_”. A. allowB. preventC. encourageD. control33. Which of the
42、following praise does Mr. Grosz like most? A. You are so clever! B. Well done, darling! C. You must have tried hard!D. You are such an artist! 34. The example of 128 pupils is given to show_. A. the disadvantage of praising children stronglyB. childrens growing interest in math C. teaching children
43、is a difficult job D. children are becoming cleverer and cleverer35. What does the author mainly tell us in the text? A. Many children cant live up to their parents expectations. B. Praise makes good men better and bad men worse. C. Parents should spend more time with their children. D. Too much pra

Its important to develop an appreciation for different cultures to become a well-rounded person.36One
45、 way is to read books written by authors from a particular culture.Reading works by authors who have a close relationship with a particular culture allows people to gain an accurate glimpse into the food, music, language, religion, and way of a life of a particular group of people.37.Another way to
46、learn about different cultures is to try learn a foreign language. 38 A person can choose a language to learn and locate learning programs to help her master the language. Besides, one can enroll in a foreign language class in order to learn in a more formal setting. One can also try to visit areas
47、of the city to establish social connection with native speakers of the language.39.Seek out restaurants that feature authentic food from a variety of countries. Food is an important part of different cultures and allows people to gain deep understanding into a particular cultural groups way of life.

49、o a different culture.B. Trying authentic food from a specific cultural group is also a great idea.C. There are several ways to become Knowledgeable about different cultures.D.
