While Madisn was set t celebrate turning 11, McKenna Jdell Fx wuld have turned ten n the same day. McKenna was nly nine mnths ld in 2008, when she was crushed（砸到） by a falling TV set as her family prepared t mve huse.
It’s a painful accident fr her mum, but ne she has transfrmed int smething psitive. The cake she bught was accmpanied by a card which read as fllws:
“Dear Birthday Girl Family, In hnur f my daughter’s 10th birthday, I have chsen yur birthday cake t pay fr. Each year I d this randm act f kindness because I am unable t buy my daughter a cake f her wn. Tday is her big duble-digit birthday. Please enjy yur day.”

Hw clever can a cmputer be? Maybe yu can get the answer after reading the fllwing passage abut a newly-develped US cmputer prgram called Smarter Child.
If yu ran int Smarter Child nline, yu wuld be surprised at this kid’s huge memry（记忆）. It can remember many facts. Fr example, Smarter Child knws every baseball player in every team this seasn and the weather in every city acrss the US. He als knws every wrd in the dictinary. Hwever, if yu ask Smarter Child ther private questins, yu will get strange answers. A questin abut Smarter Child’s age returns, “I’ll be lder than yu after further study!”, and asking where he lives, yu will get, “In a clean rm in a high-tech building in Califrnia.”
Smarter Child uses the huge infrmatin n the Wrld Wide Web as his memry bank. T answer questins abut spelling, fr example, Smarter Child ges t www.ahdictinary. cm. Fr the weather, he visits He turns t www.the-scientist.cm fr scientists and fr a fantastic mvie.
Sme scientists believe that by jining many systems f the Internet, an Artificial Intelligence （AI） with the cmbined （结合的） knwledge f, say, Albert Einstein, Richard Nixn and Britney Spears culd be brn. Hwever, Smarter Child has difficulty in discerning whether a behavir is right r wrng, which is clear t any yung child. If he wants t think and learn withut any help frm the prgrammers like by-cmputer David in the mvie Artificial Intelligence （AI）, he must slve tw prblems.
The first is that cmputers find it difficult t read web pages because the files are srted in different ways. That’s why prgrammers need t tell Smarter Child where t lk fr the weather. It wuld be a much mre difficult task t let him find it by himself. Anther prblem is that while Smarter Child can deal with infrmatin mre exactly and faster than any human, he needs prgrammers t make better systems that allw machines t slve prblems f cmmn sense, which is a huge challenge.
28．What may be unknwn t Smarter Child?
A．His age.B．The weather in New Yrk.
C．A wrd in the dictinary.D．A player’s name f the Bstn Redsx.
29．Which website can Smarter Child visit t answer the questins abut scientists?
A．B．
C．www.the-scientist.cmD．
30．What des the underlined wrd “discerning” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A．Preventing.B．Cpying.C．Inventing.D．Telling.
31．Hw is by-cmputer David different frm Smarter Child?
A．He has a huge memry.B．He can think and learn independently.
C．He can make a weather frecast.D．He deals with infrmatin fast.
D
While Ellard Hunting and fellw researchers were ut studying the weather at a field statin in England, they nticed smething unexpected n their instruments. Thugh there was n strm cming, the scientists’ electric field mnitrs recrded a strange increase in atmspheric electric charge（电荷）.
Nearby, hneybees that lived in n-site hives were swarming （蜂拥） as they tried t find a new hme. When the team tk a clser lk at their data, they discvered that the swarming hneybees had created an atmspheric electric charge. The researchers shared mre details abut their findings in the jurnal Science.
“This is the first reprt f bilgy as a surce f space charge.” says Hunting, a biphysicist at the University f Bristl in England. Scientists had knwn that individual bees carry a small charge while flying thrugh the air, caused by the frictin f their bdy parts against the air and each ther. It’s similar t hw rubbing a balln n a piece f clth creates static electricity（静电）. Scientists believe a bee’s charge helps pllen （花粉） stick t it and signals t ther bees which flwers have already been visited. But until nw, researchers had never recrded such a high vltage （电压）amng swarming hneybees.
In terms f electricity generatin, a bee swarm’s charge isn’t s impressive: It wuld take abut 50 billin bees t pwer an LED light. But cmpared t the charges prduced by cmmn weather events, the bees’ charge density was six times greater than an electrified dust strm and eight times greater than a thunderstrm clud.
Scientists hpe t cntinue explring hw bilgy influences physics and are curius t knw if smething similar is happening with ther wildlife, such as birds and bats.
32．What were the researchers ding when smething unexpected n their instruments happened?
A．Studying weather events.B．Testing their instruments.
C．Recrding insects’ behavir.D．Lking fr hneybees’ new hme.
33．What’s the functin f a bee’s charge?
A．T help the bee fly fast.B．T signal t ther bees.
C．T find pllen mre easily.D．T avid lsing their way.
34．What will the scientists cntinue t study next?
A．The wide applicatin f bilgy.B．Measures t prtect birds and bats.
C．The influences f dust strms n wildlife.D．Whether ther wildlife can prduce electric charge.
35．Where is the text frm?
A．A nvel.B．A fictin.C．A magazine.D．A leaflet.

When Kyle Jauregui recently went t pick up his yunger sister’s birthday cake, he met with a bittersweet surprise.
On arriving at the baker’s, he learnt that Madisn’s cake had already been paid fr—by a cmplete stranger. It was a tuching act f kindness, but, as it turned ut, nt a randm（随机的）ne. The cake had been paid fr by a lady knwn simply as “McKenna’s mum” —as a mther wh lst her daughter, and fr a heartbreaking reasn.
While Madisn was set t celebrate turning 11, McKenna Jdell Fx wuld have turned ten n the same day. McKenna was nly nine mnths ld in 2008, when she was crushed（砸到） by a falling TV set as her family prepared t mve huse.
It’s a painful accident fr her mum, but ne she has transfrmed int smething psitive. The cake she bught was accmpanied by a card which read as fllws:

Hw clever can a cmputer be? Maybe yu can get the answer after reading the fllwing passage abut a newly-develped US cmputer prgram called Smarter Child.
If yu ran int Smarter Child nline, yu wuld be surprised at this kid’s huge memry（记忆）. It can remember many facts. Fr example, Smarter Child knws every baseball player in every team this seasn and the weather in every city acrss the US. He als knws every wrd in the dictinary. Hwever, if yu ask Smarter Child ther private questins, yu will get strange answers. A questin abut Smarter Child’s age returns, “I’ll be lder than yu after further study!”, and asking where he lives, yu will get, “In a clean rm in a high-tech building in Califrnia.”
Smarter Child uses the huge infrmatin n the Wrld Wide Web as his memry bank. T answer questins abut spelling, fr example, Smarter Child ges t www.ahdictinary. cm. Fr the weather, he visits He turns t www.the-scientist.cm fr scientists and fr a fantastic mvie.
Sme scientists believe that by jining many systems f the Internet, an Artificial Intelligence （AI） with the cmbined （结合的） knwledge f, say, Albert Einstein, Richard Nixn and Britney Spears culd be brn. Hwever, Smarter Child has difficulty in discerning whether a behavir is right r wrng, which is clear t any yung child. If he wants t think and learn withut any help frm the prgrammers like by-cmputer David in the mvie Artificial Intelligence （AI）, he must slve tw prblems.
The first is that cmputers find it difficult t read web pages because the files are srted in different ways. That’s why prgrammers need t tell Smarter Child where t lk fr the weather. It wuld be a much mre difficult task t let him find it by himself. Anther prblem is that while Smarter Child can deal with infrmatin mre exactly and faster than any human, he needs prgrammers t make better systems that allw machines t slve prblems f cmmn sense, which is a huge challenge.
28．What may be unknwn t Smarter Child?
A．His age.B．The weather in New Yrk.
C．A wrd in the dictinary.D．A player’s name f the Bstn Redsx.
29．Which website can Smarter Child visit t answer the questins abut scientists?
A．B．
C．www.the-scientist.cmD．
30．What des the underlined wrd “discerning” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A．Preventing.B．Cpying.C．Inventing.D．Telling.
31．Hw is by-cmputer David different frm Smarter Child?
A．He has a huge memry.B．He can think and learn independently.
C．He can make a weather frecast.D．He deals with infrmatin fast.
D
While Ellard Hunting and fellw researchers were ut studying the weather at a field statin in England, they nticed smething unexpected n their instruments. Thugh there was n strm cming, the scientists’ electric field mnitrs recrded a strange increase in atmspheric electric charge（电荷）.
Nearby, hneybees that lived in n-site hives were swarming （蜂拥） as they tried t find a new hme. When the team tk a clser lk at their data, they discvered that the swarming hneybees had created an atmspheric electric charge. The researchers shared mre details abut their findings in the jurnal Science.
“This is the first reprt f bilgy as a surce f space charge.” says Hunting, a biphysicist at the University f Bristl in England. Scientists had knwn that individual bees carry a small charge while flying thrugh the air, caused by the frictin f their bdy parts against the air and each ther. It’s similar t hw rubbing a balln n a piece f clth creates static electricity（静电）. Scientists believe a bee’s charge helps pllen （花粉） stick t it and signals t ther bees which flwers have already been visited. But until nw, researchers had never recrded such a high vltage （电压）amng swarming hneybees.
In terms f electricity generatin, a bee swarm’s charge isn’t s impressive: It wuld take abut 50 billin bees t pwer an LED light. But cmpared t the charges prduced by cmmn weather events, the bees’ charge density was six times greater than an electrified dust strm and eight times greater than a thunderstrm clud.
Scientists hpe t cntinue explring hw bilgy influences physics and are curius t knw if smething similar is happening with ther wildlife, such as birds and bats.
32．What were the researchers ding when smething unexpected n their instruments happened?
A．Studying weather events.B．Testing their instruments.
C．Recrding insects’ behavir.D．Lking fr hneybees’ new hme.
33．What’s the functin f a bee’s charge?
A．T help the bee fly fast.B．T signal t ther bees.
C．T find pllen mre easily.D．T avid lsing their way.
34．What will the scientists cntinue t study next?
A．The wide applicatin f bilgy.B．Measures t prtect birds and bats.
C．The influences f dust strms n wildlife.D．Whether ther wildlife can prduce electric charge.
35．Where is the text frm?
A．A nvel.B．A fictin.C．A magazine.D．A leaflet.

It was the middle f winter sme 30 years ag. I was a yung father with three little children depending n me. My cllege educatin, hwever, wasn’t helping me t find a gd jb in ur depressed area. My wrk as a teacher had dried up and nw I was wrking in a saw mill （锯木厂） fr just abve the minimum wage（工资）.
As I gt ready t g t wrk I wrapped band-aids（创可贴） arund my fingers and put mre in my pckets. Cutting and piling wd fr 8 hurs a day had caused my fingers t split（裂口） and bleed at their tips in the cld, dry, winter air. Then I walked dwn t my car in the snw and hped it wuld star.
That day at wrk was harder than nrmal. The machines kept breaking dwn. And we had t rush t catch back up as the wd piled up. On tp f it all the heaters in the building weren’t wrking and we culd see ur breath as we spent hurs chpping, piling, carrying, and packaging the hard wd flring t be shipped ut.
When the wrk day finally ended, I walked tiredly tward the time clck, tk ff my wrk glves and inspected my aching fingers. The splits were wrse than ever and I had bled thrugh the band-aids again.
