Like many inventions, language translators were imagined by writers long before they became real. In Hugo Gernsback's 1911 novel A Romance of the Year 2660, characters use a video telephone that can translate form one language to another. A language translator also appears in Murray Leinster's 1945 First Contact. In that story. humans and creatures from another planet construct a translation device together after making first contact with one another. The idea of the language translator didn't become truly popular, however, until the “universal translator” appeared in the Star Trek series, which delighted television viewers in the 1970s. That device was universal in the sense that it could translate any language that it encountered.

The first real language translator was demonstrated by engineers from the IBM company and Georgetown University in 1954. Their machine could only translate Russian sentences into English.

Language translators have come a long way since then. Today, online translations can be accessed easily at no cost to users. With translation apps like Google Translate or iTranslate, users sometimes don't even have to look things up. All they need to do is point their cellphone's camera at some writing, and a translation instantly appears. If users want to translate something being said aloud, they just turn on their phone's microphone. All of these features save time and effort.

Translation apps make foreign travel much easier than before. They are invaluable when it comes to communicating with taxi drivers or hotel staff who don't speak a traveler's native language. But these apps are far from perfect. Sometimes a translation makes no sense, forcing the user to guess what the translation means. At other times, the user might not know that the translation has failed until he or she shows it to native speaker.

24．What does the article imply about language translators?

A．Their parts were too difficult to manufacture.

B．Their legal status was in doubt for some time.

C．Their looks have changed little over the years.

D．Their origins can be found in science fiction.

25．What does the article point out about online translations?

A．They're longer than necessary. B．They're available free of charge.

C．They're offensive to some people. D．They're published on social media.

26．Which aspect of Google Translate or iTranslate does the article emphasize?

A．Their understanding of classic idioms B．Their leisurely approach to analyzing texts.

C．Their intemal software and processes. D．Their convenience in different situations.

27．How does the writer conclude this article?

A．By noting that language translators don't have any competition.

B．By discussing how language translators are expected to evolve

C．By explaining why language translators aren't totally reliable

D．By describing the important virtues of language translators

Kobe Bryant is no doubt a legend. How did he do it? Simply put his work principle. He showed up to training every day, no excuses. Without a doubt, it is quite evident that Kobe’s desire for success was directly correlated with his work principle.

Kobe Bryant’s work principle is what helped him become the legend he is today. But what also must be understood about Kobe Bryant is that he was relentless (不停的；严格的). He had a mental toughness and steely focus that was driven by his over-the-top competitiveness.

In short, Kobe wanted to be the best, and would do whatever it took to achieve this mental goal. If he had a weakness in one area, he would commit to mastering that weakness. If there was a lack of strength in his shot, he would get to work exhausting all options to correct that lack of strength, researching and then applying the routines that instructed him on how to get stronger. Similarly, if his weakness was a lack of speed, he would put in the time and effort to overcome the limitation. And there lies his secret to success. The willingness to learn and then apply what he learned to move himself closer to his goals.

“When I am retired, I don’t want to have to say I wish I would have done more. I don’t want that.”— Kobe Bryant.

As such, Kobe Bryant’s success principle can be summarized as a relentless focus on the end result. The great news is the ability to be relentless is in all of you.

28．According to the author, what makes Kobe Bryant a legend?

A．Kobe Bryant’s distinguished characters.

B．Kobe Bryant’s attitudes towards his work.

C．Kobe Bryant’s methods of everyday training.

D．Kobe Bryant’s willingness to learn new things.

29．What does the underlined word “over-the-top” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?

A．Potential. B．Temporary. C．Apparent. D．Extraordinary.

30．What does the author want to show best by telling the story of Kobe Bryant?

A．A slow sparrow should make an early start.

B．All things are difficult before they are easy.

C．Success results from consistent efforts.

D．Confidence is the first step on the road to success.

31．Which of the following best describes Kobe Bryant?

A．Self-disciplined and hard-working. B．Confident and humble.

C．Positive and considerate. D．Selfless and energetic.

D

The food we eat every day keeps us alive, but it can also increase health and environmental costs—heart disease, carbon emissions, and more. For years, health researchers focused on their priorities and environmental scientists on theirs, and the issues were considered to be separate. But it became increasingly obvious that what we eat is closely connected with planetary health.

So the researchers of a recent study at the University of Michigan built a system that combined both concerns, looking at health and environmental impacts of specific foods.

The researchers looked at the nutritional makeup of nearly 6000 foods. A hot dog would probably cost someone about 35 minutes of living; and eating most fruits might help someone gain a few extra minutes. In the calculations, apple pie is just about neutral (中和的) —some boost from the apples, some losses from butter, flour, and sugar.

At the same time, the researchers evaluated the environmental effects of those thousands of food items. They looked beyond just the carbon costs. They studied different ways the environment absorbed food production’s impact as well.

When researchers looked at both issues at once, an exciting pattern emerged. Many foods good for people’s health were also relatively gentle on the environment. Not surprisingly, beans, vegetables—not those grown in greenhouses, though—and some sustainably farmed seafood like catfish fell in what they termed the “green” zone. “Amber” zone foods, like milk, egg-based foods, and greenhouse-grown vegetables balanced health and environmental costs. “Red” zone foods, which included beef, pork, lamb and processed meats, had high health and environmental costs. A serving of beef, they calculated, had the carbon cost of driving about 14 miles.

There’s no substitute for food, but shifting what we eat is possible. Food choices are personal, deeply connected to culture, religion, emotion, economic concerns, and so much more. “We aim to inform people so that they can make choices that fit with their needs and values,” says Olivier Jolliet, one of the researchers. “We don’t all have to adopt a vegetarian diet overnight,” he says. “Small changes can make big impacts.”

32．What is the good thing from the recent study?

A．More is known about the nutritional makeup of foods.

B．Most foods are beneficial to both health and the planet.

C．Healthy foods tend to be harmless to the environment.

D．Research has been done on environmental impacts of foods.

33．Which of the following has the lowest health and environmental cost?

A．Milk.

B．A hot dog.

C．Apple pie.

D．Beans.

34．What does Olivier Jolliet think of shifts in food choices?

A．They can make a great difference.

B．They meet people’s needs for food.

C．They are not suitable for everybody.

D．They are of great value to researchers.

35．Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?

A．Getting Help from One Another

B．Looking at Two Things at Once

C．Dealing with Problems One by One

D．Considering Things from Different Aspects

“Challenge-based learning is often focused on the challenges that have global impact. The students, who _____41_____the challenge, often don’t know what the solution will be.

Such a learning approach is very fitting to sustainability education, which, according to various scholars,_____43_____a contextual, problem-oriented, reflective, interdisciplinary (跨学科), collaborative, participatory and empowered learning environment.

A Son’s Love

Our church congregation in Toronto has a way of assisting those who have financial difficulties without making the recipient feel shame or guilt. Money is dropped into an offering box with only the name of the recipient on the envelope. The envelopes are then distributed to those members without them knowing the name of the giver.

There came a time when my husband and I were among those in need. We did not talk about our financial difficulty with anyone. The only reason our children knew was because we had to cut back on many things. Still, we hoped they were not aware of the extent of our need, nor of how much their father and I were suffering because of it. We did not want to burden them with a problem they could do nothing to solve.

Our situation wasn’t improving, and my husband and I knew that we would have to look for outside help. Just as we reached the point of despair, our church gave us a gift envelope that had been left in the offering box. We were overjoyed to receive a very substantial amount of money, enough to bring us through that desperate time. We couldn’t help but wonder who had given such a generous gift. We were extremely relieved and enormously grateful.

A year later, our seventeen-year-old son was applying for a student loan so he could attend university. It was then we discovered that his savings account was almost empty. His father and I were very disturbed by this. We had trusted him to put part of his wages from his part-time job into the bank towards his education. From the time he was nine years old he had been a paper carrier for The Toronto Star, and he had worked very hard for his small earnings.

注意：

1.续写词数应为150左右；

2.请按如下格式作答。

Anxious, I asked him repeatedly to tell me where the money had gone.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Finally, in tears, and with great reluctance, my son told us the truth.
