9、hout fail yet. While this image has become an unforgettable part of our pop culture, few people knew that the same sort of response applied to service dogs.Once a blind man fell flat on his face, which was awful but finally harmless. His service dog, however, was trained to get an adult if the owner

10、 had a seizure (癲痫), and it was sure this was a seizure. However, while the dog did what it was taught, the woman it found was merely annoyed but not alarmed. Thankfully, the dogs owner was not in the situation of a medical emergency. However, the experience inspired him to share this information on

11、 social media. If a service dog without a person approaches you, it means the person is down and in need of help. the owner explained. Dont get scared, dont get annoyed, follow the dog! If the first person doesnt cooperate, it moves on.Referring to the accident, a TV presenter asked a dog trainer, O

12、livia, some basic questions about service dogs, including how humans should react if an unaccompanied service dog approaches them.“What theyre going to do is sniff and gently push your leg”, the trainer explained, specifically noting that service dogs are not usually trained to jump or bark. “If you

13、 see a dog in vest without a person around it, follow it. When asked if one should say something to indicate theyre prepared to follow the dog, Olivia said theres no clear command. “The spoken language is not going to be a secret password.” she said. “You can say. What? or Where? or just start walki

14、ng wherever the dog leads.”Olivia concluded the TV show by adding that those who rely on service dogs can train their companion to move along to someone else, if the first person the dogs come upon reacted negatively to its request Doing so could finally save the owners life.24. What do we know abou

15、t service dogs?A. They cant understand others spoken language.B. They often make people annoyed.C. They are seldom known by most people.D. They only exist in the pop culture.25.

To spread knowledge of dealing with service dogs.CMicroplastics are everywhere in our environment. Its hardly su

18、rprising that the tiny fragments have also been found in humans. A new study shows that Americans are consuming as many as 121,000 particles each year.Measuring 50 to 500 microns in length, microplastics come from a variety of sources, including large plastics that break down into smaller and smalle

19、r pieces. Therefore, much remains unknown about the common existence of these materials within the human body, as well as their impact on human heat.Hoping to fill in some of these gaps, a research team led by Kieran Cox, a PhD candidate at the University of Victoria, looked at 26 papers assessing t

20、he amount of microplastics in commonly consumed food items, among which are seafood, sugars, salts, honey, alcohol and water. The team also evaluated the potential consumption of microplastics through inhalation ( 吸 入 ) using previously reported data on microplastic concentrations in the air and the

21、 Environmental Protection Agencys reported respiration rates. Based on these data, the researchers calculated that our annual consumption of microplastics via food and drink ranges from 34 ,000 to 52,000 particles. When microplastics taken in through inhalation are taken into account, the range jump

22、s to between 74,000 and 121,000 particles per year.The authors of the study found that people who drink exclusively from plastic water bottles absorb an additional 90,000 microplastics each year, compared to 4,000 among those who only consume tap water. This shows that small decisions, over the cour

23、se of a year, really matter and have an impact. Cox says. The new study, according to its authors, was the first to investigate“the accumulative human exposure” to microplastics. But in all likelihood, the research tells only a small part of the entire story. Collectively, the food and drink that th

24、e researchers analyzed represent 15 percent of Americans caloric intake. The team could not account for food groups like fruits, vegetables and grains because there simply is not enough data on their microplastic content.For those worried about microplastic consumption, cutting down bottled water is

25、 a good place to start. But for the heart of the problem, we have to stop producing and using so much plastic.28. What makes it difficult to know microplastics commonly exist in the human body?A. The quality of microplasticsB. The quantity of microplasticsC. The shape of microplasticsD. The size of

26、microplastics.29. How did Kieran Coxs team calculate the potential consumption of microplastics?A. By studying papersB. By comparing the impacts.C. By analyzing the data.D. By conducting experiments.30. Which of the following is true according to the text?A. Drinking less plastic bottled water helps

27、 to take in fewer microplastics.B. The study is among the earliest to investigate human exposure to microplatics.C. Coxs team gained comprehensive information of microplastics taken in by humans.D. People consume 74,000 to 121,000 particles of microplastics per year from food and drink.31. What is t

28、he best title for the text?A. The Potential Problems of MicroplasticsB. Microplastics Coming From Various SourcesC. Microplastics Found Within Human BodiesD. The Impact of Micoplastics on Human HeathDTo learn new things, we must sometimes fail. But whats the right amount of failure? New research led

29、 by the University of Arizona proposes a mathematical answer to that question.Educators have long recognized that there is something of a sweet spot when it comes to learning. That is, we learn best when we are challenged to grasp something just outside of our existing knowledge. When a challenge is

30、 too simple, we dont learn anything new; likewise, we dont expand our knowledge when a challenge is so difficult that we fail entirely or give up.So where does the sweet spot lie? According to the new study, its when failure occurs 15% of the time. Put another way, its when the right answer is given

31、 85% of the time.Researchers at the University of Arizona came up with the so-called 85% Rule after conducting a series of machine-learning experiments in which they taught computers simple tasks,such as classifying different patterns into one of two categories.The computers learned fastest in situa

32、tions in which the difficulty was such that they responded with 85% accuracy.If you have an error rate of 15% or accuracy of 85%, you are always maximizing your rate of learning in these two-choice tasks, said Professor Robert Wilson.When we think about how humans learn, the 85% Rule would mostly li

33、kely apply to perceptual ( 感 知 的 ) learning, in which we gradually learn through experience and examples, Wilson said. Imagine, for instance, a radiologist learning to tell the difference between images of tumors and non-tumors.You need examples to get better at figuring out theres a tumor in an ima

34、ge, Wilson said. If I give really easy examples, you get 100% right all the time and theres nothing left to learn. Youre not going to be taking as much from that as a situation where you are struggling a little hit. If I give really hard examples, youll be 50% correct and still not learning anything

35、 new, while if I give you something in between, you can be at this sweet spot where you are getting the most information from each particular example.32. Which of the following is linked with the sweet spot?A. 15 per cent accuracy. B. 50 per cent accuracy.C. 85 per cent accuracy. D. 100 per cent rig

36、ht.33. Why did the researchers teach computers simple tasks?A. To find out where the sweet spot lies.B. To see how well computers carry out tasks.C. To compare the results of their experiments.D. To conduct some research on machine learning.34. What is the purpose of the examples mentioned in the la

37、st paragraph?A. To teach what to do in the treatment of tumors.B. To teach how to determine there is a tumor.C. To help to remember what is learned.D. To help to learn how a tumor develops.35. According to the text, what is the most effective way of learning?A. Not taking failure too seriously.B. Le

38、arning through experience and examples.C. Struggling a little bit, but not too much.D. Learning things that are completely new.第二节（共 5 小题; 每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的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。Hunger Is Good for YouHunger is a feeling of discomfort or weakness caused by lack of food.
