12．Everywhere I look outside my home I see people busy on their high-tech devices，while driving，walking，shopping，even sitting in toilets．When connected electronically，they are away from physical reality．
People have been influenced to become technology addicted．One survey reported that"addicted"was the word most commonly used by people to describe their relationship to iPad and similar devices．One study found that people had a harder time resisting the allure of social media than they did for sleep，cigarettes and alcohol．
The main goal of technology companies is to get people to spend more money and time on their products，not to actually improve our quality of life．They have successfully created a cultural disease．Consumers willingly give up their freedom，money and time to catch up on the latest information，to keep pace with their peers or to appear modern．
I see people trapped in a pathological （病态的） relationship with time-sucking technology，where they serve technology more than technology serves them．I call this technology servitude．I am referring to a loss of personal freedom and independence because of uncontrolled consumption of many kinds of devices that eat up time and money．
What is a healthy use of technology devices？That is the vital question．Who is really in charge of my life？That is what people need to ask themselves if we are to have any chance of breaking up false beliefs about their use of technology．When we can live happily without using so much technology for a day or a week，then we can regain control and personal freedom，become the master of technology and discover what there is to enjoy in life free of technology．Mae West is famous for the wisdom that"too much of a good thing is wonderful．"But it's time to discover that it does not work for technology．
Richard Fernandez，an executive coach at Google acknowledged that"we can be swept away by our technologies．"To break the grand digital connection people must consider how life long ago could be fantastic without today's overused technology．

An Oil for Life
olive
Maria Alcala of Madrid speaks for many Mediterranean people when she says that"a meal without olive oil would be a bore．"No one knows when the Mediterranean civilizations fell in love with olives．That occurred before recorded history．However，there is evidence that the cultivation （种植） of olive trees began in countries around the Mediterranean Sea in approximately 4000B．C．，and 2000years after that people in the eastern Mediterranean area began to produce oil from olives．The Mediterranean still accounts for 99percent of all world olive oil production．
From ancient times until today，the basic process of producing the oil is the same．First，whole olives are pressed hard into pieces．Then，the liquid is separated from the solids．After that，the valuable oil is separated from the water．
Many olive growers make their ancient traditions continue and still harvest the olives by hand．"We harvest in the traditional way，"says Don Celso，an olive farmer from Tuscany，Italy．"It would be less expensive to do it with machines，but it's more a social thing．Twenty people come to help with the harvest，and we pay them in oil．"
Olive oil has had a variety of uses through its long history．In ancient times，olive oil was used as money and as medicine．It was even used during war-heated up and dropped down on attackers．It is still used in religious ceremonies．It is great for protecting the freshness of fish and cheese．There are even olive oil lamp and olive oil soaps．
One important study shows that Mediterranean people have the lowest rate of heart disease among Western nations．This is partly associated with their frequent use of olive oil．Other studies show that food cooked in olive oil is healthier，and that eating olive oil twice a day reduces women's risk of getting breast cancer．The world is beginning to understand its benefits，and olive oil is no longer an unusual sight at dinner tables outside the Mediterranean area．The olive oil producing countries now sell large amounts of olive oil to countries in Europe，Asia，Africa，and North and South America．
Olive oil improves the lives of people everywhere．Its benefits，recently confirmed by science，were already understood in ancient times．Mediterranean people are happy to share their secret with the world．

48．Which step occurs first in olive oil production？D
A．Drying the olives under the sun．
B．Separating the oil from the water．
C．Separating the liquid from the solids．
D．Pressing the whole olives into pieces．
49．Which use of olive oil is NOT mentioned in the passage？A
A．Paint．
B．Medicine．
C．Money．
D．Soap．
50．Why does the author include information about several studies of olive oil？C
A．To give reasons why olive oil is similar to medicine．
B．To show how the biology of Mediterranean people is special．
C．To explain the growing interest in olive oil around the world．
D．To prove that olive oil is more important for women than for men．
51．What is the passage mainly about？B
A．Discussing olive oil production outside the Mediterranean area．
B．Explaining the history，production，benefits，and use of olive oil．
C．Showing why olive oil is produced around the Mediterranean Sea．
D．Comparing Mediterranean olive oil with that produced in other places．

7．People often have the impression that Chinese characters are extremely difficult to learn．In fact，if you were to try to learn how to write Chinese characters，you would find that they are not nearly as difficult as you may have imagined．And they certainly qualify as forming one of the most attractive，beautiful，logical（合乎逻辑的），and scientifically constructed（构造）writing systems in the world．Each stroke（笔画）has its own special significance．If you are familiar with the rules of Chinese characters，you will find it very easy to remember even the most complicated looking character，and never miss a stroke．
The earliest known examples of Chinese written characters in their developed form are carved into tortoise shells and ox bones．The majority of these characters are pictographs．Archaeologists of various countries have learned that most early writing systems went through a pictographic stage，as did the Egyptian hieroglyphics．Most writing systems，however，eventually developed a phonetic（表示语音的）alphabet to represent the sounds of spoken language rather than visual images observed in the physical world．
One notable feature of Chinese characters is the"radical．""Radical"in English means"root"．For example，the characters yu"language，"shuo"talk，"i"discuss，""opinion，"and lun"discuss"all share the yen radical，which means"language，"and gives the reader a clue to the meaning of the character as a whole．The characters hsiu"rotten，"shan"cedar，""t'ao"peach，"and lin"forest，"all contain the mu"wood"or"tree"radical，indicating one of their shared key characteristics．If you know the radical of a character，you can usually get a general idea of the meaning of the character it is a part of．Although there is a theoretical total of almost 50，000written Chinese characters，only about 5，000of these are frequently used； and the total number of radicals is only 214．So learning to read and write Chinese is not nearly so formidable a task as it may at first seem．
33．According to the author，Chinese characters areB．
A．extremely difficult to learn
B．scientifically constructed
C．difficult to remember
D．as difficult as you may have imagined
34．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage？A
A．There are rules in forming the Chinese characters．
B．Some strokes are more important than others．
C．All the Chinese characters are pictographs．
D．Some writing systems eventually developed a phonetic alphabet．
35．The passage is mainly aboutC．
A．pictographs
B．the strokes of the Chinese characters
C．the Chinese writing system
D．the radical of the Chinese characters．

17．Speed-reading is a necessary skill in the Internet age．We skim over articles，e-mails and We Chat to try to grasp key words and the essential meaning of a certain text．Surrounded with information from our electronic devices，it would be impossible to cope if we read word by word，line by line．But a new trend calls on people to unplug and enjoy reading slowly，listing benefits beyond the intelligent stimulation．
A recent story from The Wall Street Journal reported on a book club in Wellington，New Zealand，where members meet in a cafe and turn off their smart phones．They sink into comfortable chairs and read in silence for an hour．Unlike traditional book clubs，the point of the slow reading club isn't exchanging ideas about a certain book，but to get away from electronic devices and read in a quiet，relaxed environment．According to the Journal，the Wellington book club is just one example of a movement started by book lovers who miss the old-fashioned way of reading before the Internet and smart phones．
Slow readers，such as The Atlantic's Maura Kelly，say a regular reading habit sharpens the mind，improves concentration，reduces stress levels and deepens the ability to sympathize（共鸣，同感）．Another study published last year in Science shwed that reading novels helps people understand other's mental states and beliefs，a fundamental skill in building relationships．Yet technology has made us less attentive readers．Screens have changed our reading patterns from the staight and information left-to-right sequence to a wild skimming and skipping pattern as we hunt for important words and information．Reading text punctuated（加标点符号）with links leads to weaker comprehension than reading plain text．The Internet may hve made us stupider，says Patrick Kingsley from The Guardian．Because of the Internet，he says，we have become very good at collecting a wide range of interesting news，but we are also gradually forgetting how to sit back，reflect，and relate all these facts to each other．
Slow reading means a return to an uninterrupted，straight pattern，in a quiet environment free of distractions．Aim for 30minutes a day，advises Kelly from The Atlantic．"You can squeeze in that half hour pretty easily if only during your free moments，you pick up a meaningful work of literature，"Kelly said．"Reach for your e-reader，if you like．Kindles make books like War and Peace less heavy，not less substantive，and also ensure you'll never lose your place．"
24．The book club in Wellington mentioned in Paragraph 2showsA．
A．the new trend of slow reading
B．the decline of electronic devices
C．the importance of exchanging ideas
D．the increasing number of club readers
25．According to Patrick Kingsley，people are stupider partly because ofD．
A．a non-stop reading pattern
B．the straight，left-to-right screen
C．wide range of interesting news
D．the lack of reflection
26．According to the passage，slow readingA．
A．contributes to understanding among people
B．promotes the current technology advances
C．provides people with a quiet environment
D．cures the memory loss of elderly people
27．What's the best title for the passage？B
A．Benefit of Reading Clubs
B．Return of Slow Reading
C．Reading of the Internet Age
D．Influence of Speed Reading．

Computers have beaten human world champions at chess and, earlier this year, the board game Go. So far, though, they have struggled at the card table. So we challenged one AI to a game.

Why is poker(扑克)so difficult? Chess and Go are “information complete” games where all players can see all the relevant information. In poker, other players’ cards are hidden, making it an “information incomplete” game. Players have to guess opponents’ hands from their actions----tricky for computers. Poker has become a new benchmark for AI research. Solving poker could lead to many breakthroughs, from cyber security to driverless cars.

Scientists believe it is only a matter of time before AI once again vanquishes humans, hence our human-machine match comes up in a game of Texas Hold’s Em Limit Poker. The AI was developed by Johannes Heinrich, researcher studying machine learning at UCL. It combines two techniques: neural(神经的)networks and reinforcement learning(强化学习).

Neural networks, to some degree, copy the structure of human brains: their processors are highly interconnected and work at the same time to solve problems. They are good at spotting patterns in huge amounts of data. Reinforcement learning is when a machine, given a task, carries it out, learning from mistakes it makes. In this case, it means playing poker against itself billions of times to get better.

Mr Heinrich told Sky News: “Today we are presenting a new procedure that has learned in a different way, more similar to how humans learn. In particular, it is able to learn abstract patterns, represented by its neural network, which allow it to deal with new and unseen situations.”

After two hours of quite defensive play, from the computer at least, we called it a draw.

1.Why can’t the computer beat humans at the poker game?

A. Because humans are cleverer than the computer

B. Because humans practice playing the poker game every day

C. Because the computer can’t know the other players’ cards completely

D. Because the computer can’t learn the regular rules of the poker game

2.What does the underlined word “vanquishes” in Paragraph 3 mean?

A. Leaves B. Defeats C. Cheats D. Serves

3.What do we know about the reinforcement learning of AI?

A. It solves problems correctly every time

B. It is the same as the learning of humans

C. It learns from the mistakes appearing in a task

D. It is more developed than the studying ways of humans

4.What can be inferred from the text?

A. The new procedure of AI has some features of humans

B. Computers are stronger than humans in every aspect

C. Humans will beat computers at playing poker forever

D. Scientists feel unhappy about the result of the poker game

I like travelling and my dream of paying a visit for Beijing，the capital city of our country，come true during the National Day holidays this year．On October 1st，I went to Tian'anmen Square with my parents，there we watched the flag-raising ceremony．As I watched the flag rising slowly，I sang a national anthem，feel extremely excited．Then we went to some other famous tourist attraction，like the Great Wall．Standing on the Great Wall，I felt very proudly．I thought the old saying that"He who do not reach the Great Wall is not a true man．"Although I was tired，but I really had a good time．
