He finally reached home and saw his mother and wife, who were ignorant of the fact that that happiness was not going t

11、o last long. The disease showed its symptoms again. He ignored and gave his time to his family. In between, he saw dreams and kept noting those dreams in a notebook. Things were getting worse. It had been almost 10 months since his return. No doctor, no medicine. His family tried to make him feel be

12、tter in vain. But, he kept noting down his dreams and thoughts in a notebook, even in such a terrible health condition. That unexpected day finally came. His mother got a shock. After all, he was too young to die. His wife cried her eyes out. He was turned into ashes. But not his notebook. Dear read

13、ers, this is a true story. That man was none other than our respected maths master Srinivasa Ramanujan. That notebook I was talking about was full of new mathematical discoveries but without any proofs (证明) of them. Though he had almost no formal training in pure mathematics, Ramanujan made great co

14、ntributions to it, including solutions to mathematical problems considered to be unsolvable. During his short life, Ramanujan independently produced nearly 3,900 results. His work has opened entirely new areas of mathematics and inspired a vast amount of further research. Nearly all his claims have

15、now been proven correct. We lost him at a very young age of 32 years.

17、ards Ramanujans death?AInspired. BShocked.CGuilty. DSorry.B Being compared to geniuses like Stephen Hawking and Albert Einstein is not something that happens to the average person. So when we tell you that Sabrina Gonzalez Pasterski is far from your average human, we mean it. At the age of just 23,

18、Pasterski has already achieved more than most of us ever will in our lifetime. When she was only 14 years old, the Chicago native made her own single engine airplane by herself. If that wasnt impressive enough, she then flew it across Lake Michigan, becoming the youngest person to ever fly her own p

19、lane. The whole adventurous activity took two years to complete, and she showed the entire experience on social media. She then graduated from the Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy and studied at the wellknown Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). After just three years at MIT she has

20、already achieved the highest possible grade point average of 5.0. She is now working towards her doctorate at worldfamous Harvard University. Once again she is only 23 years old. Whats even more remarkable is that she is no longer interested in building planes, but has turned her attention to physic

21、snamely black holes and how gravity affects space and timethus the Einstein and Hawking comparisons. She especially wants to study “quantum gravity”， where she will try to understand the connection between gravity within the context of quantum physics. If her research proves successful, discoveries

22、in this area could greatly change the way we understand the universe. During an interview earlier this year she said, “Be optimistic (乐观的) about what you believe you can do. When youre little, you say a lot of things about what youll do or be when youre olderI think its important not to lose sight o

23、f those dreams.”24How did Pasterski make a great impression?AShe made a great discovery.BShe broke a record.CShe invented an airplane.DShe won the competition.25What can we know about Pasterski from Paragraph 3?AShe got high marks when studying at MIT.BShe shared her study experience on social media

24、.CShe got her masters degree at Harvard University.DShe often took adventurous activities during her college life.26Whats Pasterskis interest now?ABuilding planes. BExploring the space.CResearching on planes. DStudying physics.27What did Pasterski encourage people to be in her interview?AConsiderate

25、 and creative.BGenerous and outspoken.CConfident and determined.DEnergetic and curious.C The birth of Britains first cloned dog has been considered “a waste of money” and scientists said the process raised serious ethical (伦理的) concerns. Sooam Biotech, a company in Seoul, said it had cloned the pupp

26、y, named MiniWinnie, from a 12yearold dog belonging to Rebecca Smith, who lives in the west London. She had won a contest run by the company which hoped to sell the service to pet owners for 60,000 pounds a time. MiniWinnie was born afrer scientists took skin cells from Smiths pet and dropped them i

27、nto donor eggs to make embryos (胚胎). The puppy must remain in Republic of Korea for six months to satisfy British quarantine (检疫) laws. But researchers warned that while a cloned dog might look similar to its biological parent, it would be a very different animal. “You would have many chances of rep

28、licating (复制) your favorite pet by choosing one from Battersea Dogs Home，” said Robin LovellBadge, a geneticist at the National Institute for Medical Research in London. Dusko Ilic, a stem cell scientist at Kings College London, said, “It is extremely unlikely that a puppy cloned from a favorite pet

29、 will behave in the same way. As time passes by, the differences will be more and more pronounced, especially personality traits. It is an absolute waste of money.” The cloning process is controversial (有争论的) because the animals are often born with diseases or die soon after birth. I think, its unne

30、cessary to try to clone pets for pet owners. First, its really costly. Second, the cloned pet is actually another dog. Third, there are many homeless dogs for people to adopt in shelters. So why not just adopt a dog instead?28What may be the reason for Sooam Biotechs work on cloning pets?ATo pay bac

31、k to society.BTo make money out of it.CTo comfort sad pet owners.DTo win an important contest.29Why doesnt the cloned dog enter Britain now?ABecause people in Britain are against it.BBecause the company is afraid that it will die.CBecause it needs to stay in Republic of Korea for research.DBecause B

32、ritish quarantine laws dont allow it.30What can we learn from what Dusko Ilic said in Paragraph 4?ACloned pets are usually not lovely.BCloned pets can be very disappointing.CIts possible to replicate ones favorite pet.DA cloned dog looks similar to its biological parent. 31.According to Paragraph 5,

33、 why is the cloning process controversial?AIt is costly.BIt is too difficult.CIt can spread diseases.DThe result is unsatisfactory.D Nearly every week, we hear news about the latest successes and failures in driverless vehicles. But we hear little about how other industries are developing this same

34、kind of technology. One industry heavily involved in researching and developing artificial intelligence, or AI, is agriculture. Companies are experimenting with hightech tools that can help farmers save time and money, while reducing environmentharming chemicals. One of the companies is ecoRobotix o

35、f Switzerland. It created a robot equipped with AI and cameras to identify all plants on a farm. The robot has four wheels to carry it through the fields in search of weeds. Computercontrolled arms then lower and spray the weeds with small amounts of herbicide (除草剂). Company officials say the robot

36、can fully operate on its own for up to 12 hours a day while being powered by the sun. It uses the same kind of sensor and positioning technology used to guide driverless vehicles. A farmer can also control the equipment through a smartphone. The cofounder of ecoRobotix, Aurelien Demaurex, says the f

37、arm robot can kill weeds with 20 times less herbicide than traditional methods. This is because the system uses exactly the right amount of chemical in the exact place required to kill the weeds. Currently, farmers spread weed killers over massive areas to destroy unwanted plants. Another company de

38、veloping farm robotics is Californiabased Blue River Technology. The company has a system called “See & Spray”， which it claims is the worlds first smart sprayer. The systemwhich connects to the back of a tractoris also equipped with AI to identify and chemically kill only the weeds. It can also spr

39、ay chemicals on wanted plants to help them grow. Ben Chostner, vicepresident of business development for Blue River Technology, explains in a company video that “See & Spray” technology uses the same deep learning methods used in facial recognition. “The first time the machine saw a pigweed, it didn

40、t know what kind of plant it was. But we taught itby giving it tens of thousands of examples of pigweedand now its an expert in pigweed.”32How will AI benefit agriculture?AIt will fund agriculture research.BIt contributes to lowcost farming.CIt can avoid harmful chemicals. DIt frees all farmers from

41、 field work.33What do the products of the two companies have in common?AThey use recognition technology.BThey are powered by solar energy.CThey are connected with smart phones.DThey can help wanted plants grow rapidly.34What do Ben Chostners words suggest about the robot?AIt is environmentally frien

42、dly.BIt is good at selfimproving.CIt has the learning ability.DIt can track various plants.35What is mainly talked about in the text?AThe experiment in farming robots.BNew trend in artificial intelligence.CModern “See & Spray” technology.DArtificial intelligence in agriculture.第二节七选五(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分

At the exit, the wind made him think of his gloves. “Where are they？” Not in the coat pockets. Not in the grocery bag either. He was sure he was wearing them when he

61、entered the store. He clearly remembered putting them into the pocket of his coat. George made a second search of all his pockets, again including the grocery bag. Now he was sure they must have been dropped somewhere inside the store. Old George had bought the black leather gloves at a 25% discount

62、, for just $ 35.00, ten years ago. They were soft and warm and very durable (耐用的). He had taken care not to let a drop of water or rain touch his expensive gloves, so they looked as if they had been new. Losing this favorite possession was almost like losing a child to him. George, calm on the outsi

63、de but nervous inside, reentered the store. He followed the same route he had walked before, starting from the bread counter, to the milk section, the corner where salt and sugar were placed, then the rest of the store. Several minutes of anxious searching turned out to be nothing. He asked the cust

64、omers whether they saw a pair of black leather gloves, but they said no. Then he went over to the cashier without hesitation to ask if she had received any lost gloves, but only received the same answer. His heart grew heavier. “Society has changed and people have changed，” he said to himself. “Year

65、s ago, if somebody picked up something lost, they would give it back. Now a good action is lost.” Yet he did not give up hope. He started to stare at anybody wearing black gloves to see if they looked like his. The first two persons he saw did wear gloves, but one was womens and the other not black.
