A few years ago, I went shopping with a friend for a new motorcycle. He didn't have a particular brand or model in mind except two standards. A big engine—since too much horsepower is never enough—and since he's tall, a relatively relaxed riding position.
I suggested a Hayabusa, which met his standards or an XS-14R. Both were within his budget, especially the Hayabusa since the dealer was offering a $2,500 discount on a previous year's model.
He rode them both and loved them both. But then he became very interested in a ZX-6R KRT—a great motorcycle, sure, but with a much smaller motor and a riding position that made him look like a contorted mantis(变形的螳螂). It seemed like a strange choice.
I felt puzzled until it hit me. The purchase of any motorcycle 750cc and under came with a free helmet(头盔). Since my friend also wanted a new helmet, getting one for free was extremely attractive. After all, the math didn't work. We eventually negotiated $3,200 off the price of the Hayabusa. The free helmet was only worth $250. However, my friend's final decision was ZX-6R KRT with a free helmet.
A 2017 study published in Marketing Science found that people tend to significantly overvalue "free". When faced with a choice of selecting one of several available products, people will choose the option with the highest cost-benefit difference; however, decisions about free (zero-price) products differ, because people do not simply take away costs from benefits but instead, consider the benefits associated with free products to be higher.
Two months later, my friend traded in his 6R for a 14R. But I don't think badly of him. We've all been blinded by the power of "free". So whenever something is free, stop and consider the intention, and see free" as a reason to do even more math.
4、What kind of motorcycle did the author's friend intend to buy?
A. A good second-hand one. B. A previous year's Hayabusa.
C. A highly fashionable XS-14R. D. A powerful and comfortable one.
5、What aspect of the ZX-6R KRT attracted the author's friend most?
A. Its price. B. The motorcycle's 750cc engine.
C. Its free gift. D. The motorcycle's classical design.
6、Why does the author mention the 2017 study?
A. To offer his friend a better purchase plan.
B. To stress the importance of negotiating skills.
C. To tell readers how to get more zero-price products.
D. To explain why his friend made such an unwise choice.
7、What does the text mainly talk about?
A. It's time to stop doing the math. B. "Free" is sometimes the worst deal.
C. Getting something for free is so fun. D. We all love to buy something on sale.
Some people worry about robots taking work away from human beings, but there are a few jobs that even these people admit most of us would not want. One is cleaning up radioactive waste, particularly when it is inside a nuclear power station.
So, send in the robots? In 2011 the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power station in Japan suffered a series of meltdowns after its safety systems failed following a tsunami(海啸). Robots were then sent into it to monitor radiation levels and start cleaning things up. Many got stuck, broke down or had their circuits fried by the intense radiation.
Stopping such things happening again is part of the work of the National Centre for Nuclear Robotics (NCNR). It is led by Rustam Stolkin of the University of Birmingham, and its purpose is to improve the routine use of robotics in nuclear power stations. One problem with the robots sent into the ruins of Fukushima Daiichi was that they were not particularly clever. Most were operated by someone at a safe distance. Such machines' arms are tricky to move accurately when viewed via a video screen. Dr. Stolkin believes the answer is to equip them with artificial intelligence (AI), so that they can operate by themselves.
The nuclear industry, however, is extremely prudent. So, for the moment, AI is needed to assist human operators. For example, instead of relying on a remote human operator to operate all its controls, an AI-equipped robot faced with a pile of different objects to move would use a camera to understand those objects' shapes and positions relative to one another. It could then plan how best to grasp each object and move it to a properly designed disposal skip(废料桶).
Other members of NCNR are examining different aspects of the problem. At the University of Bristol, Tom Scott leads a group working on means for robots to identify materials, including various sorts of plastic. Gerhard Neumann of the University of Lincoln is developing advanced navigation(导航) systems. And to ensure robots' circuits don't get fried, Klaus McDonald Maier at the University of Essex is developing electronics to fight against the effects of radiation.
8、How did the robots perform at Fukushima Daiichi in 2011?
A. They were not capable of the task. B. They cleaned up the waste in time.
C. They were not affected by radiation. D. They found it hard to identify materials.
9、What does the underlined word "prudent" in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Admiring. B. Cautious. C. Successful. D. Independent.
10、Which university is trying to help robots find out what objects are made of?
A. The University of Birmingham. B. The University of Lincoln.
C. The University of Bristol. D. The University of Essex.
11、What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Will AI robots threaten more jobs?
B. Could robots replace human beings?
C. Extreme robotics: cleaning up nuclear waste
D. Nuclear robotics: speeding up the exploration
We have long been attracted by quick solutions that could increase our intelligence. Today, people's hopes lie in brain training apps, some of which claim to result in "smarter minds". But is this quick solution all it is said to be?
There are plenty of brain training apps, but they all share the same characteristics: they turn mental exercises like simple arithmetic(算术), memory tests and logic and pattern-matching problems into quick games. Some apps tell us that the more you play these mini-games, the smarter you will get. It is really a big promise.
Many of the apps say they are based on "science", a claim I found surprising as a former neuroscientist(神经系统科学家).The concept that increasing intelligence would be as simple as practicing a few mini-games every day flies in the face of what we have discovered about how humans think and learn.
After surveying thousands of users across a wide variety of apps, researchers at Western University in Canada discovered that brain training had no great effect on cognitive(认知的) functioning in the real world. The positive effects that have been found are limited to the very specific mini-games and tasks that users are trained on, such as the ability to memorize lists of words or numbers, or perform mental arithmetic, with little benefit to other skills.
If you are expecting them to improve your ability to write a novel or make a complex computer program, I am afraid you will want to look elsewhere. Puzzle video games such as "Baba Is You" and "Return of the Obra Dinn", see players apply their skill at logic, memory and concentration in a far more complex way than any brain training mini-game.
12、What does the author say about brain training apps?
A. They have scientific support. B. They work in the form of games.
C. They require problem-solving skills. D.They are based on complex arithmetic.
13、What does the underlined part "flies in the face of" in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Goes into details of. B. Takes advantage of.
C. Goes against. D.Comes from.
14、Which best describes the effects that brain training apps have on memory?
A. Limited. B. Indirect. C. Damaging. D. Far-reaching.
15、What is the author's attitude to "Baba Is You"?
A. Doubtful. B. Intolerant. C.Uninterested. D. Favorable.
二、七选五

When I found out that my new friend Karina did not share my opinions about some stuff, I was very upset. It was hard to imagine disagreeing with her about anything because when we first met, we got along so well. It was as if we'd known each other forever.
"No way!" I said, as I sat next to her on the first day of karate(空手道) camp. "Are those banana chips in your lunchbox?"
"You like banana chips?" she said in a surprised voice. "They're my favorite snack."
"My aunt brought some the last time she visited, and I've been craving(渴望) them ever since," I said.
"I guess today's your lucky day," she said, handing me the bag. "We have a big box that's kind of taking up space in the cupboard. So, you'd actually be helping me out!"
Right then is when I knew that Karina and I were meant to be friends forever. Whenever we got to pick a partner at camp, we picked each other. Whenever we had a break, we hung out together. The more time we spent together, the more we realized how amazingly alike we were. We both had two adorable cats, we both had an awesome younger sister, and we both had the same favorite song.
But then something happened. Karate camp was next to a piece of beautiful land that had a bunch of large old trees on it. Whenever it was nice out, we'd get to eat our lunch at picnic tables that were right by some of those trees.
After we finished lunch, our coach, Miguel, reminded us to keep the forest as clean and perfect as it was when we got here.
And that's when things got complicated.
Sam, one of our teammates, asked us, "Have you guys heard that shopping mall rumor? They want to cut down a bunch of those trees to make room for a shopping center." To my surprise, Karina said, "My parents told me the shopping center would make new jobs for people who really needed work and people's jobs were more important than trees.
Paragraph 1:
I completely disagreed with Karina about cutting down trees.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Later, I suddenly realized Karina had her reasons for believing what she did.

I'm glad to hear that you'll participate in the speech contest "Studying in China". Speaking of the topic, I think Chinese ancient wisdom is an ideal option.
With a long history and profound cultural connotations, China plays an essential role in the history of mankind. From Confucius' principle of teaching to literature, and from the four great inventions to the Great Wall, it's Chinese ancient wisdom that shines like a star throughout human civilization. This topic will surely attract the judges' attention. Besides, providing broad descriptions combined with details is the best way to go.
I do hope your speech goes smoothly.

34、答案：
答案一：
I completely disagreed with Karina about cutting down trees. Since trees were home to hundreds of small animals, I couldn't believe that Karina could be such a cruel person who wanted to replace the lively forest with a noisy shopping mall. Overwhelmed by anger and confusion, I shouted at Karina, "How dare you wish to destroy such a wonderful forest?" Shocked by my mean words, Karina stared at me in horror and failed to say a word. After a while, Karina broke the silence, telling me the story of her parents.
Later, I suddenly realized Karina had her reasons for believing what she did. Her parents had suffered from unemployment for a long time and could hardly support the family, so she understood the importance of jobs deeply. "But I just want to save our wonderful land," I explained in a low voice, feeling sorry and guilty. Gently patting me on the shoulder, Karina comforted me, "That's fine." It suddenly dawned on me that a friend was not the same personas me, but a person who accepted me. I smiled at Karina, and invited her to hang out, after which our laughter soon lingered in the beautiful land again.
答案二：
I completely disagreed with Karina about cutting down trees. I said, "We have to stop that. Think of all the birds that would lose their homes! Can't we figure out how to make jobs without destroying nature?" Hearing what I said, Karina told me super seriously, "Maybe we're not quite as alike as we thought." I felt very upset. Maybe two people with opposite points of view just aren't meant to be friends, I was thinking.
Later, I suddenly realized Karina had her reasons for believing what she did. No matter what it was, the difference wasn't worth losing a perfectly good friendship over. We ended up having lots more fun at karate camp. And even now, a couple of months later, we still send each other funny pictures of our cats or our baking creations. No two people are exactly alike, and even the best friends disagree sometimes. What's important is that you respect each other and focus on the good stuff.
答案三：
I completely disagreed with Karina about cutting down trees. I poured out my feelings on the trees being home to all the birds as well as being able to absorb carbon dioxide, with much anger overwhelming me as I almost lost my coolness. "Don't you think people's livelihood is more important than a patch of wood?" Karina asked me directly. "But not at the cost of cutting down trees!" I said firmly. The argument between us made me feel powerless and there seemed to be a barrier growing between us.
Later, I suddenly realized Karina had her reasons for believing what she did. Karina took my hand sincerely and said, "I never want to quarrel with you again. Maybe we shouldn't hold on our own views so seriously, and instead, learn to respect each other." I threw myself into her arms. All my feelings of horror, anger, guilt and grief were suddenly gone due to this comforting hug. During the following days we immersed ourselves in the fun of karate. There seemed to be delight in every heart, laughter in every face, and cheer in every step.
