My 10-year-ld sn Egbert was a picky eater - he nly ate chicken nuggets and ygurt - and unwilling t try new things. Accrding t him, it's because he has phbias, including heights and the dark. I was hping t find a way t 1 him withut using ld sayings like “If yu dn't try it, yu' ll never knw if yu like it.” S befre ur skiing trip t Ls Angeles, I 2 a rule: we wuld say yes t everything, including new fds and experiences.
We said yes frm the beginning f ur trip. At the airprt café, Egbert began by trying new fds like vegetable meatballs. 3 , he rated it as “nt bad”. The next day in the snwbarding schl, despite the fear f heights, Egbert challenged himself t learn hw t ride a chairlift. After skiing, we were bth cld and wet, and Egbert suggested the utdr ht tub (浴缸). Thugh it wuld be a cmpletely new experience fr us, I 4 it tgether with him and the experience prved t be a delight. I felt 5 f myself fr trying smething new.
On ur summer hlidays, we cntinued the 6 f saying yes. At the cmpetitin in Cdy, Wyming, neither f my sn and I 7 when we were invited nt the field t jin in the hrse racing. Thugh we came back withut prizes, we were bth laughing, sweaty and 8 . I knw it's a mment we` ll never frget.
Therein lies the 9 f saying yes n vacatin: it pushes us ut f ur cmfrt zne, thugh it's nt always pssible t say yes t everything in ur daily life. Develping a sense f 10 helps us live life t the fullest-even if we smetimes wind up cld and wet.

Baggy has becme the first dg in the UK—— and ptentially the wrld-t jin the fight against air pllutin by recrding pllutant levels near the grund.
Baggy wears a pllutin mnitr n her cllar s she can take data measurements clse t the grund. Her mnitr has shwn that air pllutin levels are higher clser t grund level, which has helped highlight cncerns that babies and yung kids may be at higher risk f develping lung prblems.
Cnventinal air pllutin mnitrs are nrmally fixed n lamppsts at abut nine feet in the air. Hwever, since Baggy stands at abut the same height as a child in a pushchair(婴儿车), she frequently recrds pllutin levels which are much higher than the data gathered by the Envirnment Agency.
The dggy data research was the idea f Baggy's 13-year-ld wner Tm Hunt and his dad Matt. The English yungster nticed that pllutin levels are arund tw-thirds higher clse t the grund than they are in the air at the height where they are recrded by the agency. Tm has since reprted the shcking findings t the gvernment in an attempt t emphasize that babies are at higher risk f develping asthma(哮喘).
Matt Hunt said he was “very prud” f his sn because “when the by gets an idea, he keeps his head dwn and gets n with it, and he really des want t d sme gd and stp yung kids frm getting asthma”
“Tm built up a passin fr envirnmental prtectin at a very early age,” Matt added. “He became very interested in gadgets(小装置). Abut ne year ag, he gt this new piece f tech which is like a test tube. One Sunday afternn, we went ut t d sme mnitring, and he said, ‘why dn't we put it n Baggy's cllar and let her mnitr the pllutin?’ S we did it.”
Tm said, “Mst f the time, Baggy is just like any ther dg. But fr the rest f the time she is a super dg, and we are all really prud f her.”
29. What can we learn frm the Baggy data?
A. Cnventinal mnitrs are mre reliable.B. Higher pushchairs are mre risky fr kids.
C. High places are free f air pllutin.D. Air is mre plluted clser t the grund.
30. What is Tm's purpse f ding the research?
A. T warn f a health risk.B. T find ut pllutin surces.
C. T test his new mnitr.D. T prve Baggy's abilities.
31. Accrding t the passage, which wrd can best describe Tm Hunt?
A. Mdest.B. Generus.C. Creative.D. Outging.

Fr the past five years, Paula Smith, a histrian f science, has devted herself t re-creating lng-frgtten techniques. While ding research fr her new bk, she came acrss a 16th-centuryFrench manuscript (手稿) cnsisting f nearly 1、000 sets f instructins, cvering subjects frm tl making t finding the best sand.
The authr's intentin remains as mysterius(神秘) as his name; he may have been simply taking ntes fr his wn recrds. But Smith was struck mainly by the fact that she didn't truly grasp any f the skills the authr described. “Yu simply can't get an understanding f that handwrk by reading abut it,” she says.
Thugh Smith did get her hands n the best sand, ding things the ld-fashined way isn't just abut playing arund with French mud. Recnstructing the wrk f the craftsmen (工匠) wh lived centuries ag can reveal hw they viewed the wrld, what bjects filled their hmes, and what went n in the wrkshps that prduced them. It can even help slve present-day prblems: In 2015, scientists discvered that a 10th-century English medicine fr eye prblems culd kill a drug-resistant virus.
The wrk has als brught insights fr museums, Smith says. One must knw hw an bject was made in rder t preserve it. What's mre, recnstructins might be the nly way t knw what treasures lked like befre time wre them dwn. Schlars have seen this idea in practice with ancient Greek and Rman statues. These sculptures were painted a rainbw f striking clrs. We can't appreciate these kinds f details withut seeing wrks f art as they riginally appeared—— smething Smith believes yu can d nly when yu have a rad map.
Smith has put the manuscript's ideas int practice. Her final gal is t link the wrlds f art and science back tgether. She believes that bringing the ld recipes t life can help develp a kind f learning that highlights experimentatin, teamwrk, and prblem slving.
Back when science—— then called “the new philsphy”—— tk shape, academics lked t craftsmen fr help in understanding the natural wrld. Micrscpes and telescpes were invented by way f artistic tinkering(修补) , as craftsmen experimented with glass t better bend light.
If we can rediscver the values f hands-n experience and craftwrk, Smith says, we can marry the best f ur mdern insights with the handiness f ur ancestrs.
32. Hw did Smith feel after reading the French manuscript?
A. Cnfused abut the technical terms.B. Impressed with its detailed instructins.
C. Discuraged by its cmplex structure.D. Shcked fr her wn lack f hand skills.
33. Accrding t Smith, the recnstructin wrk is dne mainly t .
A. restre ld wrkshpsB. understand the craftsmen
C. imprve visual effectsD. inspire the philsphers
34. Why des the authr mentin museums?
A. T reveal the beauty f ancient bjects.B. T present the findings f ld science.
C. T highlight the imprtance f antiques.D. T emphasize the values f hand skills.
35. Which wuld be the best title fr this passage?
A. Craftsmen Set the Trends fr ArtistsB. Craftsmanship Leads t New Theries
C. Craftsmanship Makes Better ScientistsD. Craftsmen Reshape the Future f Science

Certain frms f AI are indeed becming ubiquitus. Fr example, algrithms (算法) carry ut huge vlumes f trading n ur financial markets, self-driving cars are appearing n city streets, and ur smartphnes are translating frm ne language int anther. These systems are smetimes faster and mre perceptive than we humans are. But s far that is nly true fr the specific tasks fr which the systems have been designed. That is smething that sme AI develpers are nw eager t change.
Sme f tday's AI pineers want t mve n frm tday's wrld f “weak” r “marrw” AI, t create “strng” r “full” AI, r what is ften called artificial general intelligence (AGI). In sme respects, tday's pwerful cmputing machines already make ur brains lk weak. AGI culd, its advcates say, wrk fr us arund the clck, and drawing n all available data, culd suggest slutins t many prblems. DM, a cmpany fcused n the develpment f AGI, has an ambitin t “slve intelligence”. “If we' re successful,” their missin statement reads, “we believe this will be ne f the mst imprtant and widely beneficial scientific advances ever made.”
Since the early days f AI, imaginatin has utpaced what is pssible r even prbable. In 1965, an imaginative mathematician called Irving Gd predicted the eventual creatin f an “ultra-intelligent machine... that can far surpass all the intellectual(智力的) activities f any man, hwever clever.” Gd went n t suggest that “the first ultra-intelligent machine” culd be “the last inventin that man need ever make.”
Fears abut the appearance f bad, pwerful, man-made intelligent machines have been reinfrced(强化) by many wrks f fictin—— Mary Shelley's Frankenstein and the Terminatr film series, fr example. But if AI des eventually prve t be ur dwnfall, it is unlikely t be at the hands f human-shaped frms like these, with recgnizably human mtivatins such as aggressin (敌对行为).Instead, I agree with Oxfrd University philspher Nick Bstrm, wh believes that the heaviest risks frm AGI d nt cme frm a decisin t turn against mankind but rather frm a dgged pursuit f set bjectives at the expense f everything else.
The prmise and danger f true AGI are great. But all f tday's excited discussin abut these pssibilities presuppses the fact that we will be able t build these systems. And, having spken t many f the wrld's fremst Al researchers, I believe there is gd reasn t dubt that we will see AGI any time sn. if ever.
36. What des the underlined wrd “ubiquitus” in Paragraph 1 prbably mean?
A. Enrmus in quantity.B. Changeable daily.
C. Stable in quality.D. Present everywhere.
37. What culd AGI d fr us, accrding t its supprters?
A. Help t tackle prblems.B. Make brains mre active.
C. Benefit ambitius peple.D. Set up pwerful databases.
38. As fr Irving Gd's pinin n ultra-intelligent machines, the authr is .
A. supprtiveB. disapprvingC. fearfulD. uncertain
39. What can be inferred abut AGI frm the passage?
A. It may be nly a dream.B. It will cme int being sn.
C. It will be cntrlled by humans.D. It may be mre dangerus than ever.

根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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。
Many peple think that psitive thinking is mstly abut keeping ne's head in the sand and ignring daily prblems, trying t lk ptimistic. In reality it has mre t d with the way an individual talks t himself. Self-talk is a cnstant stream f thughts f a persn, wh is ften unaware and uncertain f sme events, phenmena, peple, r even the persn himself. 40 Meanwhile, psitive thinking can help t stp negative self-talks and start t frm a psitive view n an issue. Peple wh regularly practise psitive thinking tend t slve prblems mre effectively. They are less expsed t stress caused by external factrs. They tend t believe in themselves and in what they d.
41 Peple wh think psitively demnstrate increased life spans(寿命) , lwer rates f depressin and anxiety, better physical and psychlgical health, reduced risks f death frm heart prblems. Psitive thinking als cntributes t ne's ability t deal with prblems and hardships.
42 Fr example, researchers have fund that in the case f a crisis accmpanied by strng emtins, such as a natural disaster, psitive thinking can prvide a srt f buffer (缓冲作用) against depressin and anxiety. Resilient (适应性强的) peple wh think psitively tend t treat every prblem as a challenge, a chance fr imprvement f any kind, r as an pprtunity fr persnal grwth. Pessimists, n the cntrary, tend t perceive prblems as a surce f additinal stress. 43
In cnclusin, psitive thinking is a pwerful and effective tl fr dealing with hard times and imprving the quality f ne's life. It desn't have anything t d with ignrant ptimism when an individual refuses t ntice a prblem. 44 Thinking in a psitive, self-encuraging way brings abut many benefits t ne's physical and mental health.
A. It desn't cause any severe emtinal discmfrt, either.
B. Negative self-talk damages self-cnfidence and decreases self-respect.
C. It helps ne t remain clear-headed and cnfident in difficult situatins.
D) Psitive thinking has several beneficial effects n the bdy and the mind.
E. As thinking changes, an individual's behaviur and habits change as well.
F. They ften ffer a real alternative t the cmmn and regular way f thinking.
G. They ften feel discuraged lng befre trying t slve the prblem, even if small.

阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。
We all lve t criticize, but unfrtunately, we als hate being criticized. We freely pst and cmment n thers, but feel annyed at the way thers assess us, bth nline and in persn. The wrld seems unlikely t change anytime sn. Frtunately, thugh, each f us can change hw we give and take criticism, which will make us less likely t harm thers, mre resistant t being angry, and better able t benefit frm feedback—— even when it is negative.
Criticism is defined as judgment f the merits(优点) and faults f smething r smene in written r spken frm. Technically, criticism can include praise, but that isn't what cncerns us here. What annys us is criticism f the negative variety, even when well-intentined —— s-called cnstructive criticism, which means t prvide guidance s we can imprve. Wrst f all is destructive criticism, which aims t cause hurt r damage.
The culture f criticism isn't ging away. The nly way t flurish(繁荣) in it, and despite it, is t adpt new habits f getting and giving critical feedback. One rule is t assume that criticism, even when it seems persnal, is nt actually abut yu persnally. When we receive criticism, we make it persnal in tw ways. First, we may naturally analyze the critic rather than the criticism. Secnd, we tend t cnsider the criticism a judgment n ur natural abilities, rather than n ur perfrmance. Interestingly, even amng yung children, research shws that viewing criticism as a judgment n ne's abilities can lead t lwer self-wrth, lwer psitive md, and less persistence at tasks.
If taking criticism is particularly hard fr yu, yu are nt alne. Hwever, taking criticism badly is mre embarrassing, ultimately, than the criticism itself. If we d the wrk t learn t accept negative feedback, we will be much better ff.
45. What will be the results f changing the way we give and take criticism?
46. What is the difference between cnstructive and destructive criticism?
47. Please decide which part is false in the fllwing statement, then underline it and explain why.
Children wh receive criticism have lwer self-wrth because they take criticism as a judgment n their perfrmance.
48. What benefit(s) wuld yu gain frm learning t accept negative feedback?(In abut 40 wrds)
