Rick Guidotti put aside his career as a fashion photographer to turn his lens to people living with genetic, physical and behavioral differences.
He says what changed his perception of beauty was a chance encounter with an albino (患白化病的) girl. “I was just tired of people telling me who was beautiful. Every season that face would change but I was always told who was beautiful. As an artist, I don’t see beauty just on covers of magazines. I see it everywhere. So that was my original intention—that opened my eyes a little wider and wider.”
Guidotti has created Positive Exposure, a not-for-profit organization that uses photography and video to transform public perceptions and promote a world where differences are celebrated. Guidotti and Positive Exposure are featured in a new documentary called “On Beauty”.
One of the women featured in the film is Jayne Waithera. “I never thought I was beautiful because nobody said that to me, but meeting him was my profound moment. I remember that particular day he took my picture and I felt so good like l felt there’s somebody who, like, really loves me and sees me for who I am and who sees me more than my condition.”
Guidotti is traveling from city to city to promote “On Beauty”. He says his tour is not about money; it’s about the message. “”As I travel from community to community, I’m taking photographs band I’m empowering individuals with a positive sense of who they are. They’re seeing beauty in their reflection but I’m also empowering their families and they in turn are empowering their communities as well. All is based on the philosophy of change—how you see, how you change.”
24. Why did Guidotti change his career
A. Because he wanted to create his own company.
B. Because the beauty on covers of magazines is not beautiful.
C. Because he couldn’t earn enough money from his former career.
D. Because his comprehension of beauty changed owing to an albino girl.
25. What can we know about Positive Exposure
A. It makes the public more beautiful. B. It brings a lot of money for Guidotti.
C. It welcomes differences in the world. D. It makes photography more popular.
26. What does the author want to tell us by mentioning Jayne in Paragraph 4
A. Jayne was beautiful Indeed.
B. Jayne’s picture was more beautiful than herself.
C. It was unfair that nobody discovered Jayne’s beauty.
D. Photographs gave Jayne a positive sense of who she was.
27. What does the author mainly intend to tell us in the last paragraph
A. We should travel frequently.
B. Communities have a great influence on everyone.
C. We should make contributions to our community.
D. The way we view the world matters.
C
The US Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) recently asked scientists, lawyers, social scientists and other experts to consider some of these ethical dimensions. To give two examples: on privacy, as we let more listening devices into our homes, how do we prevent the data they collect falling into the wrong hands through hacking (黑客) or simply being sold between companies without us receiving any money Another example: mixed reality, including virtual reality, will become pervasive in the next few years. As we move from headsets to what the IEEE committee describes as “more subtle and integrated sensory enhancements” we will use technology to live in an illusory world in many aspects of our lives. How do we balance the rights of the individual, control over our virtual identity, and the need to live and interact on a face-to-face basis while being empowered to live rich lives in mixed reality
There is, of course, always a tension between innovation and regulation. But it can often seem that giant steps are taken in technology with minimal public discussion. Take the self-driving car: although it may be safer than human drivers and is likely to save more than a million lives a year worldwide, it will also take jobs from drivers, traffic police, sign-makers, car-repair companies, carmakers and more. Is this a bargain we want to make In taking that decision, have we given thought to a car that knows everywhere we go, decides routes, perhaps, based on paid advertisements from shops along the way-and listens and sees everything we do on board What will happen to that data and can it be kept safe
Additionally, while some worry about the uncommon “trolley problem” of whom the car should choose to hit in a freak accident—an old lady or a mother and baby—perhaps the more frequent issue will be how we find out what the algorithm (运算程序) was thinking at the time of an accident, because AIs (Artificial Intelligence) are self-learning and devise their own strategies.
Similar concerns are emerging over the internet of things. Robot vacuum-cleaners already plot cleaning cycles using computer-aided vision that, for some models, is relayed to their manufacturers. As more things at home become connected, they will be hackable and the data they collect saleable.
It’s time for some messy, democratic discussions about the future of AI.
28. Two examples in Paragraph 1 are used to ______.
A. shed some light on hacking in our modern life
B. lead the reader to think of ethical issues brought by hi-tech
C. lead in the following example concerning the self-driving car
D. list the existing problems that caught the attention of experts
29. The word “pervasive” in Paragraph 1 probably means “______”.
A. intelligent B. powerful C. widespread D. skillful
30. The author of the passage would agree that ______.
A. the public need to be cautious about risks of innovation
B. more giant innovative steps will lead to fewer public discussion
C. disadvantages of the self-driving car will outweigh its advantages
D. artificial intelligence fails to have a promising and bright future
3. In the passage, the author intends to ______.
A. expose some underlying problems in high-technology
B. call on people to move away from technological innovation
C. illustrate AI’s abilities in self-devising and self-learning strategies
D. display our inter-connected computer-aided life in future
D
There are currently 21.5 million students in America, and many will be funding their college on borrowed money. Given that there’s now over $1.3 trillion in student loans on the books, it’s pretty clear that many students are far from sensible. The average student’s debt upon graduation now approaches $40.000, and as college becomes ever more expensive, calls to make it “free” are multiplying. Even Hillary Clinton says that when it comes to college, “Costs won’t be a barrier.”
But the only way college could be free is if the faculty and staff donated their time, the buildings required no maintenance, and campuses required no utilities. As long as it’s impossible to produce something from nothing, costs are absolutely a barrier.
The actual question we debate is who should pay for people to go to college. If taxpayers are to bear the cost of forgiving student loans, shouldn’t they have a say in how their money is used
At least taxpayers should be able to decide what students will study on the public dime. If we’re going to force taxpayers to foot the bill for college degrees, students should only study those subjects that are of greatest benefit to taxpayers. After all, students making their own choices in this respect is what caused the problem in the first place. We simply don’t need more poetry, gender studies, or sociology majors. How do we know which subjects benefit society Easy.
Average starting salaries give a clear indication of what type of training society needs its new workers to have. Certainly, there are benefits to a college major beyond the job a student can perform. But if we’re talking about the benefits to society, the only thing that matters is what the major enables the student to produce for society. And the value of what the student can produce is reflected in the wage employers are willing to pay the student to produce it.
A low wage for elementary school teachers, however, doesn’t mean elementary education isn’t important. It simply means there are too many elementary school teachers already.
Meanwhile, there are few who are willing and able to perform jobs requiring a petroleum engineering major, so the value of one more of those people is very high.
So we can have taxpayers pick up students' tuition in exchange for dictating what those students will study. Or we can allow students both to choose their majors and pay for their education themselves. But in the end, one of two things is true:
Either a college major is worth its cost or it isn’t. If yes, taxpayer financing isn't needed. If not, taxpayer financing isn’t desirable. Either way, taxpayers have no business paying for students’ college education.
32. In the author’s opinion, free college education is ______.
A. impractical B. unsustainable C. a goal to strive for D. a way to social equality
33. What should students do if taxpayers are to bear their college costs
A. Work even harder to repay society.
B. Choose their subjects more carefully.
C. Choose majors that will serve society’s practical needs.
D. Allow taxpayers to participate in college administration.
34. What does the author say about the value of a student’s college education
A. It is underestimated by profit-seeking employers.
B. It is to be proved by what they can do on the job.
C. It is well reflected in their average starting salary.
D. It is embodied in how they remove social barriers.
35. What message does the author want to convey in the passage
A. Students should think carefully whether to go to college.
B. Taxpayers should only finance the most gifted students.
C. The worth of a college education is open to debate.
D College students should fund their own education.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
The Hotel Wake-up Call Gets Personal
Here’s a wake-up call: The hotel front desk will do one better than ringing your phone in the morning. They’ll send an actual human being to your room. Don’t worry. They won’t come in and kiss you good morning. 36
Never mind that most travelers nowadays have smart phones with built-in alarm clocks. 37 Here are some examples. At the Wolcott Hotel, if a wake-up call is unanswered, they will send an employee to your door. At Las Ventanas al Paraiso, an employee shows up at your room to wake you up with tea, coffee and breakfast bread. At the Mandarin Oriental, a person rather than an automated system will call to wake you up. 38
Hotels have always taken the wake-up call seriously. 39 If you don’t get your call within five minutes of the requested time, you won’t have to pay for your room. Travelers, too, still want to have an option of a wake-up call. A study of 285 guests at Crown Plaza found that 53% considered a wake-up call very important.
40 It used to be that a person would call you. Then in the late 1980s, hotels turned to automated systems. Then all you’d get was a ring and silence. In the ever-competitive race for loyal customers, however, many hotels are now getting creative with the wake-up call Some hotels even have recordings of celebrity voices. And more hotels will go back to the old in-person system of wake up calls.
A. But they might bring you coffee.
B. If you don’t answer, you’ll get a wake-up knock.
C. Crown Plaza, for instance, has a wake-up call guarantee.
D. But the wake-up call became less personal over the years.
E. The hotel gets 15 to 30 requests for wake-up calls each day.
F. Hoteliers say the human wake-up call is a way to personalize a guest’s stay.
G. Some guests sleep through the call, while others turn their phone ringers off.

During a period of two months, the east coast of Florida was hit by three major hurricanes! When we 41 on the morning of September 5, my husband and I stood on the balcony and watched the still-powerful winds break huge trees. 42 , in the midst of these destructive winds, we spotted a flash of color in our 43 . No more than ten feet from where we stood, a hummingbird (蜂鸟) 44 and few in front of us.
This was the first time we had ever 45 a hummingbird in our yard—or in Florida! Because they are rare, the 46 of a hummingbird in Brevard County, Florida, is almost a 47 in itself.
Although I had been trying to plant all the right plants to 48 them, it took a hurricane for me to 49 attract them to my yard and to really observe them closely. Almost every day since the hurricanes, I have had the 50 of observing the visiting hummingbirds. With a feeder right outside my office window, I get a daily bird’s 51 .
The hurricane season affected me in a very 52 way. Every time I see the hummingbirds, I am 53 of the many blessings that nature holds for us: messages of beauty, strength, and determination. But perhaps the greatest 54 is that wonders are out there waiting to pay us a visit. We just need to keep 55 seeds of beauty and faith, and we need to keep an eye out for the wonders!

第二节：读后续写（满分25分）
阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
The other day, I was driving home, a little upset because I hated working at the weekend. On the way, I decided to grab some veggies in the nearby greengrocer’s. Since there was still thin ice on the road, I took a glance at the rear mirror to make sure no pedestrians or vehicles came close, and slowly steered the wheel to the right. Then out of any of my expectancy my car bumped into an electric bike, giving out a harsh metallic clash. I collected myself and saw out of the window screen a boy lean on one side of the bike, one foot off the ground.
All of a sudden, a familiar scene flashed across my mind.
When I was in high school, I had fun riding my bike along the country road on sweltering and boring afternoons during summer holidays. Sometimes I carried my little brother to the only grocery store in the neighborhood where we could buy our favorite ice cream. Once we had an argument about what to buy. Seeing him leave the store in a temper, I jumped on the bike and tried to talk him into going back. Suddenly, he gave me a push and I inclined towards the middle of the road when a motorbike came in my face. I fell on the ground before I could see anything clearly. Luckily. I didn’t get hurt but still couldn’t rise to my feet. The motorist, a middle-aged man, ignoring his torn jeans, shed to check on me, “Are you okay Your leg Your foot ”
“I am all right but…” I stared at him, terrified because I was sure he would ask for “big” sum of money for damage. Instead, he just let me go despite his wife’s protests. Guilty as I was, I was happy that I was spared. I was really grateful to the man for forgiving a silly kid who had made such a big mistake involuntarily.

Achievement Expo of China Aerospace
Today’s trip to the City Museum is really a memorable experience and this will be engraved in my mind forever.
All senior 3 students visited a themed exhibition— “Achievements of China Aerospace”. Firstly, we attended informative lectures and watched extremely exciting videos about launching rockets, which allowed us to get deeper insights into China Aerospace. Then came the highlight, experiencing thrilling and funny spacewalks in almost zero gravity.
Amazed by the outstanding achievements and touched by the spirits of China Aerospace experts, I’ll apply myself to studying so that I can make contributions to our country like them one day.
第二节 读后续写 Possible version
Seeing the same fright in the boy’s eyes, I quickly got out of my car. “Are you okay Your leg Your foot ” I asked the same questions anxiously. The boy leaning on the bike shook his head nervously and said nothing, just staring at me with his blue eyes wide open. I could see why. My car was badly damaged at the rear, which obviously would cost me lots of money to repair it. I just smiled and turned to check my car. Suddenly, I heard the boy saying something while standing behind me.
The boy offered to give me some money for the damage. I turned around and looked at him in the eyes and smiled again. “No worries, kid,” I said, “It is not a big deal. I can handle it myself.” The boy was puzzled. “I experienced the same things when I was as your age and I was forgiven, so are you now. Just go home and be careful.” I explained to him. An obvious surprise flashed across his face but was quickly replaced by great relief. He got off his bike and bowed deeply, saying, “Thank you, sir.” I smiled again, knowing that: A seed of kindness and forgiveness was planted.
