I'm an 18-year-ld premedical student,tall and gd-lking,with tw shrt stry bks and quite a number f essays t my credit.Why am I singing such 36 f myself?Just t explain that the attainment f self-pride cmes frm a great deal f self-lve,and t 37 it, ne must first learn t accept neself as ne is.That was 38 my struggle began.
Brn and 39 in Africa,I had always taken my African rigin as a(n) 40 .My self-dislike was further 41 when my family had t mve t Nrway,where I attended a high schl.Cmpared t all the white girls arund me,with their glden hair and delicate lips,I,a black girl,had curly-hair and full,red lips.My nse ften had a thin sheet f sweat n it, 42 the weather was like.I just wanted t 43 myself in my shell crying"I'm s different!"
What als 44 t my self-dislike was my ccasinal stuttering(口吃),which had weakened my self-cnfidence.It always. 45 between me and any fine pprtunity.I'd taken it as an excuse t avid any public speaking sessins,and unknwingly let it rule ver
me.
46 ,as I grew lder,there came a turning pint.One day a white girl caught my eye n the schl bus when she suddenly turned back.T my. 47 she had a thin sheet f sweat n her nse t,and it was in Nvember!"Ww,"I whispered t myself,"this isn't a genetic disrder 48 .It's perfectly nrmal."Days later,my life tk anther twist(转折). Searching the internet fr stuttering cures,I accidentally learned that such 49 peple as
Isaac Newtn and Winstn Churchill als stuttered.I was greatly relieved and then an idea suddenly hit me—if I'm smart,I shuldn't allw my stuttering t stand between me and my
succes.In ther wrds,stuttering is n 50 t success.
Anther 51 t my self-cnfidence came days later as I was watching the news abut Oprah Winfrey,the famus talk shw hst and writer—she's black t!Whenever I think f her stry and my 52 dislike f my clr,I'm practically filled with shame.
Tday,I've grwn t accept what I am 53 pride;it simply gives me feeling f
uniqueness.The idea f self-lve has 54 a whle new meaning fr me:there's always smething fantastic abut us,and what we need t d is learn t 55 it.

第三部分：阅读理解(共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分)
A
One steamy July afternn in central Arkansas,my huse caught fire unfrtunately.I was lst fr wrds t describe the feeling f seeing my hme ging up in flames.But the panic that filled my shcked heart in that awful mment was fr the nine cats that shared my hme after being rescued frm situatins f abuse and abandnment.
The amazing firefighters arrived in time,but the chemical-laden smke had already caused deaths.I examined and kissed each cat gdbye,extremely grateful that they had passed away gently,withut injuries r burns.After staying with a friend fr weeks,I was relcated t
a furnished apartment.One evening I was ccupied in writing a mystery nvel when a"mew" sunded frm utside the apartment dr.Was it my mind playing tricks again?Mre than nce I had heard,seen r felt the brush f ne f my departed furry rmmates.The mew grew luder and mre insistent.Curius,I pened the dr.
Sitting n the drstep was a kitten(小猫)with a black cat and alert amber eyes.A neighbr walking by picked him up and began petting him.When I remarked hw cute her kitten was,she explained that he had been brn under a bridge and lked arund fr fd. This kitty-lving neighbr was quick t ffer an extra litter bx asking if I was interested in giving him a hme.My immediate reactin was a seemingly humrus "that's all I need!" After all, my determinatin had been well reasned and remained firm.But withut hesitatin she put the adrable kitten dwn.I thanked her and clsed the dr,determined t just let him stay until a real hme culd be fund.
That night,as I slid between the sheets f the bed in the still unfamiliar apartment,the energetic little fur ball jumped nt the bed,yawned dramatically,and nestled by my side.That was the first night since the fire that I actually slept.Needless t say,the cat cmmunity knew the precise treatment fr healing far better than I.
The name Starlight(Star fr shrt)just ccurred t me because that night he brught sme light back int my life.He adred wrestling rubber bands,raced up and dwn the stairs,darted utside anytime the dr pened,suddenly appeared everywhere I didn't want him t be,held nt the brm while I was trying t sweep,and rlled in catnip r whatever else happened t be n the flr.
In the five years since the fire,we have been thrugh a lt,Starlight and I.We returned t the huse,managed t keep the business alive,brught the mystery nvel t the final edits befre it's submitted in the hpe f publicatin.Star helped me thrugh a massive,yet nntraditinal,healing f spirit.The memries f the kitties that passed away in the fire nw spark nly warmth in my heart and win sme smiles.Every single day,I appreciate the serendipitus(有意外收获的)nature f the Universe that sent me hpe in the frm f a little black fur ball.
S take a little advice frm my furry friend:n matter hw hpeless things may becme r hw fixed yur reslutin may be,pen the dr whenever pprtunity kncks.It just might be a star t light yur way.

By the age f seven mnths,mst children have learned that bjects still exist even when they are ut f sight.Put a ty under a blanket and a child that ld will knw it is still there,and that he can reach underneath the blanket t get it back.This understanding,f“bject permanence",is a nrmal develpmental milestne,as well as a basic tenet f reality.It is als smething that self-driving cars d nt have.And that is a prblem.Fr a self-driving car,a bicycle that is mmentarily hidden by a passing van is a bicycle that has ceased t exist.
This failing is basic t the nw-widespread cmputing discipline that has claimed itself the slightly misleading mniker(绰号)f artificial intelligence(AD).Current AI,based n the idea f machine learning,wrks by building up cmplex statistical mdels f the wrld,but it
lacks a deeper understanding f reality.Similar techniques are used t train self-driving cars t perate in traffic.Cars thus learn hw t bey lane markings,avid ther vehicles,hit the
brakes at a red light and s n.But they d nt understand many things a human driver takes fr granted—that ther cars n th rad have engines and fur wheels,r that they bey traffic regulatins (usually)and the laws f physics(always).And they d nt understand bject permanence.
In a recent paper in Artificial Intelligence,Mehul Bhatt f Orebr University,in Sweden, describes a different apprach.He and his clleagues tk sme existing AI prgrams which are used by self-driving cars and blted nt them a piece f sftware called a symblic-reasning engine.
Instead f appraching the wrld prbabilistically(概率性地),as machine learning des, this sftware was prgrammed t apply basic physical cncepts t the utput f the prgrams that prcess signals frm an autnmus vehicle's sensrs.This mdified utput was then fed t the sftware which drives the vehicle.The cncepts invlved included the ideas that discrete (离散的)bjects cntinue t exist ver time,that they have spatial relatinships with ne anther -such as "in-frnt-f"and "behind"—and that they can be fully r partly visible,r cmpletely hidden by anther bject.The imprvement was nt huge,but it prved the
principle.And it als yielded smething else. Fr,unlike a machine-learning algrithm(算法), a reasning engine can tell yu the reasn why it did what it did.A machine-learning prgram cannt d that.Besides helping imprve prgram design,such infrmatin will,Dr Bhatt reckns,help regulatrs and insurance cmpanies.It may thus speed up public acceptance f autnmus vehicles.
61.Why des the authr mentin a bicycle hidden by a van in the first paragraph?
A.T shw the self-driving car isn't as able t knw an bject permanently exists as a 7-mnth-ld child.
B.T make a cmparisn between a self-driving car and a bicycle that can fr a mment cease t exist.
C.T present the prblem a self-driving car has as ppsed t a 7-mnth-ld child.
D.T shw the fact that a self-driving car isn't as intelligent as a 7-mnth-ld child.
62.What d we knw abut current AI technlgy?
A.It fails as a misleading cmputing disciplinc used n self-driving cars.
B.It basically wrks n machine learning which is effective t train cars hw t perate in
traffic.
C.It is nt that intelligent cmpared with the real human intelligence,hence the name AI.
D.It can teach cars many things except the reasns why they have engines and fur wheels.
63.If a car is fitted with a reasning engine,what can the car pssibly d?
A.When an accident is arund the crner,the car autmatically alarms the driver.
B.If the car mmentarily blcked the sight f anther,it culd predict and take steps t avid bumping.
C.The car can make up reasns fr hitting the brakes when a bicycle hidden by a van is abut t appear.
D.When yu are at a lss hw yu can make it t the destinatin,the car can always figure ut the best rute.
64.What can be the best title f the passage?
A.Is reasning-engine better than machine learning?
B.Is it smarter than a seven-mnth-ld?
C.Al---a misleading mniker
D.The self-reflectin f a self-driving car

Children as yung as ten are becming dependent n scial media fr their sense f self-wrth,a majr study warned.
It fund many yungsters nw measure their status by hw much public apprval they get nline,ften thrugh "likes".Sme change their behaviur in real life t imprve their image n the web.
The reprt int yungsters aged frm 8 t 12 was carried ut by Children's Cmmissiner (专员)Anne Lngfield.She said scial media firms were expsing children t majr emtinal risks,with sme yungsters starting secndary schl ill-equipped t cpe with the tremendus pressure they faced nline.
Sme scial apps were ppular amng the children even thugh they suppsedly require users t be at least 13.The yungsters admitted planning trips arund ptential pht-pprtunities and then messaging friends—and friends f friends —t demand"likes" fr their nline psts.
The reprt fund that yungsters felt their friendships culd be at risk if they did nt respnd t scial media psts quickly,and arund the clck.
Children aged 8 t 10 were"starting t feel happy"when thers liked their psts.
Hwever,thse in the 10 t 12 age grup were"cncerned with hw many peple like their psts”,suggesting a"need"fr scial recgnitin that gets strnger the lder they becme.
Miss Lngfield warned that a generatin f children risked grwing up wrried abut their appearance and image as a result f the unrealistic lifestyles they fllw n platfrms,and increasingly anxius abut switching ff due t the cnstant demands f scial media.
She said:“Children are using scial media with family and friends and t play games when they are in primary schl.But what starts as fun usage f apps turns int tremendus pressure in real scial media interactin at secndary schl."
As their wrld expanded,she said,children cmpared themselves t thers nline in a way that was "hugely damaging in terms f their self-identity,in terms f their cnfidence,but als in terms f their ability t develp themselves".
Miss Lngfield added:“Then there is this push t cnnect—if yu g ffline,will yu miss smething,will yu miss ut,will yu shw that yu dn't care abut thse peple yu are fllwing,all f thse cme tgether in a huge way at nce.""Fr children it is very,very difficult t cpe with emtinally."The Children's Cmmissiner fr England's study—life in Likes—fund that children as yung as 8 were using scial media platfrms largely fr play.
Hwever,the research—invlving eight grups f 32 children aged 8 t 12—suggested
that as they headed tward their teens,they became increasingly anxius nline.
By the time they started secndary schl—at age 11—children were already far mre aware f their image nline and felt under huge pressure t ensure their psts were ppular,the reprt fund.
Hwever,they still did nt knw hw t cpe with mean-spirited jkes,r the sense f incmpetence they might feel if they cmpared themselves t celebrities r mre brilliant friends nline.The reprt said they als faced pressure t respnd t messages at all hurs f the day—especially at secndary schl when mre yungsters have mbile phnes.
The Children's Cmmissiner said schls and parents must nw d mre t prepare children fr the emtinal minefield(雷区)they faced nline.And she said scial media cmpanies must als "take mre respnsibility".They shuld either mnitr their websites better s that children d nt sign up t early,r they shuld adjust their websites t the needs f yunger users.
Javed Khan,f children's charity Bamard's,said:"It's vital that new cmpulsry age-apprpriate relatinship and sex educatin lessns in England shuld help equip children t
deal with the grwing demands f scial media."
"It's als hugely imprtant fr parents t knw which apps their children are using."
65.Why did sme secndary schl students feel t much pressure?
A.They were nt prvided with adequate equipment.
B They were nt well prepared fr emtinal risks
C.They were required t give quick respnses.
D.They were prevented frm using mbile phnes.
66.Sme scial app cmpanies were t blame because
A.they didn't adequately check their users' registratin B.they rganized pht trips t attract mre yungsters C.they encuraged yungsters t pst mre phts
D.they didn't stp yungsters frm staying up late
67.Children's cmparing themselves t thers nline may lead t
A.less friendliness t each ther
B.lwer self-identity and cnfidence
C.an increase in nline cheating
D.a strnger desire t stay nline
68.Accrding t Life in Likes,as children grew,they became mre anxius t
A.circulate their psts quickly
B.knw the qualities f their psts C.use mbile phnes fr play
D.get mre public apprval
69.What shuld parents d t slve the prblem?
A.Cmmunicate mre with secndary schls.
B.Urge media cmpanies t create safer apps.
C.Keep track f children's use f scial media.
D.Frbid their children frm visiting the web.
