The search engine Google celebrated on Thursday the 110th birthday of the first Native

American woman engineer.Google honored Mary Ross with a special Google Doodle on its

homepage.

Ross was born on August 9，1908，in the state of Oklahoma.She was the great-
granddaughter of John Ross，the longest—serving chief of the Cherokee Nation.Her work is

considered important to the early stages of the age of space travel.

Ross showed special abilities in math and science from an early age.As a student ，she

developed an interest in aviation，or the practice of flying aircraft.She went on to earn a master’s

degree in mathematics from Colorado State Teachers College，now called the University of

Northern Colorado.

During World War II，Ross began working for the Lockheed Aircraft Corporation as a

mathematician.She earned a special certification in the field from the University of California

in1949.Ross was later chosen to join Lockheed’s top—secret Skunk Works team that worked on

aircraft designs.The name refers to a group that is permitted to work independently on advanced

projects.She was the only female engineer among the team’s 40 members.

Early on，she researched defense systems.By the late 1950s，her work centered on satellites

and a series of space rockets called Agenda.The rockets were extremely important in the 1960s

during the Apollo moon program.

Ross also helped develop early design ideas for space travel between planets ，including

flyby space flights to study Venus and Mars.Ross retired from Lockheed in 1973.But she

continued to give talks at high schools and colleges to encourage more women and Native

Americans to study engineering.She died in 2008，a few months before her 100th birthday.

Many celebrated Ross’life on social media.Twitter user Aaron Perez，for

example，wrote:“Mary Ross was an engineer who pioneered in the field of satellites.I never

would have known if it wasn’t for the doodle.Women engineers deserve more recognition.”

24．Why did Google celebrate Mary Ross’110th birthday?

A．She invented a new flying aircraft.

B．She had been a great designer ever.

C．She contributed a lot to space travel.

D． She got a master’s degree in mathematics.

25．What did Mary Ross do in the middle of20th century?

A．She worked on Agenda.

B．She gave talks at high schools.

C．She helped women study engineering.

D．She planned the Apollo moon program.

26．Which of the following can best describe Mary Ross?

A．Caring and cautious. B．Talented and creative.

C．Generous and patient. D．Courageous and optimistic.

27．What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A．Social media is very popular in the world.

B．Every Twitter user thinks highly of Mary Ross.

C．More attention should be paid to women engineers.

D．Man has made greater progress in space technology.

Roboticists at the University of California San Diego have developed an affordable, easy to

use system to track the location of flexible surgical robots inside the human body. The system

performs as well as current state of the art methods, but the whole system, including the robot,

magnets and magnet localization setup, costs around $100. Many current methods also require

exposure to radiation, while this system does not.

The system was developed by Tania Morimoto, a professor of mechanical engineering at the

Jacobs School of Engineering at UC San Diego, and mechanical engineering Ph. D．student

Connor Watson.

“Continuum medical robots work really well in highly constrained (受限的) environments

inside the body,” Morimoto said. “But it becomes a lot harder to track their location and their

shape inside the body.” The researchers used existing magnet localization methods, which work

very much like GPS, to develop a computer model that predicts the robot’s location.

GPS satellites ping (发送) smartphones and based on how long it takes for the signal to

arrive, the GPS receiver in the smartphone can determine where the cell phone is. Similarly,

researchers know how strong the magnetic field should be around the magnet placed in the robot.

They rely on four sensors that are carefully spaced around the area where the robot operates to

measure the magnetic field strength. Based on how strong the field is, they are able to determine

where the tip of the robot is.

 Morimoto and Watson went a step further. They then trained a neural network to learn the

difference between what the sensors were reading and what the model said the sensors should be

reading. As a result, they improved localization accuracy to track the tip of the robot. “Ideally we

are hoping that our localization tools can help improve these kinds of growing robot technologies.

We do want to push this research forward so that we can test our system in a clinical setting and

eventually translate it into clinical use,” Morimoto said.

28．What be learnt about the system according to the text?

A．It’s complex. B．It’s low-cost.

C．It’s delicate. D．It’s radioactive.

29．What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?

A．The system’s working principle.

B．The function of GPS satellites.

C．The reason for inventing the system,

D．The necessity of inventing the system.

30．What do Morimoto and Watson expect of the system?

A．It’ll be environmentally-friendly. B．It’ll be sold on the Internet soon,

C．I’ll be easy for us to operate. D．It’ll be tested with real patients.

31．Where is this text most likely from?

A．A diary. B．A guidebook.

C．A magazine. D．A novel.

At the World Economic Forum last month, President Trump drew claps when he announced

the United States would respond to the forum's proposal to plant one trillion( 万亿) trees to fight

climate change. The trillion-tree idea won wide attention last summer after a study published in

the journal Science concluded that planting so many trees was “the most effective climate change

solution to date”.

If only it were true. But it isn't. Planting trees would slow down the planet's warming, but the

only thing that will save us and future generations from paying a huge price in dollars, lives and

damage to nature is rapid and considerable reductions in carbon release from fossil fuels, to net
zero by 2050.

Focusing on trees as the big solution to climate change is a dangerous diversion( 偏离). Worse

still, it takes attention away from those responsible for the carbon release that are pushing us

toward disaster. For example, in the Netherlands, you can pay Shell an additional 1 euro cent for

each liter of regular gasoline you put in your tank, to plant trees to balance the carbon release from

your driving. That's clearly no more than disaster slightly delayed. The only way to stop this

planet from overheating is through political, economic, technological and social solutions that end

the use of fossil fuels.

There is no way that planting trees, even across a global area the size of the United States,

can absorb the huge amounts of fossil carbon released from industrial societies. Trees do take up

carbon from the atmosphere as they grow. But this uptake merely replaces carbon lost when

forests were cleared in the first place, usually long ago. Regrowing forests where they once grew

can undo some damage done in the past, but even a trillion trees can't store enough carbon to head

off dramatic climate changes this century.

In a sharp counter argument to last summer's Paper in Science, Justin Gillis wrote in the same

journal in October that the study's findings were inconsistent with the dynamics of the global

carbon cycle. He warned that “the claim that global tree restoration(复原) is our most effective

climate solution is simply scientifically incorrect and dangerously misleading”.

32．What do we know about the trillion-tree idea?

A．It was published in a journal.

B．It was proposed last summer.

C．It was put forward by Trump.

D．It drew lots of public attention.

33．What is paragraph 3 mainly about?

A．A drawback of the tree planting strategy.

B．An example of balancing carbon release.

C．An anecdote of making a purchase at Shell.

D．A responsibility for politicians and economists.

34．What was Justin Gillis's attitude towards global tree restoration?

A．Indifferent. B．Opposed.
C．Hesitant. D．Supportive.

35．What is the best title for the text?

A．Contradictory Ideas on Tree Planting.

B．A Trillion Trees Come to the Rescue.

C．Planting Trees Won't Save the World.

D．The Best Solution to Climate Change.

I don’t believe Artificial Intelligence (AI) could replace my teaching career. I have always

been interested in human connection, and the ways in which I can use these connections to inspire

change and make a difference. 36．, there are other ways where AI could make a more efficient

and effective difference than I could on my own.

My teaching experiences over the past several years have been creative and inspiring. I

believe that the job of educators extends beyond simply teaching students a set curriculum. 37．,

they must constantly reflect on ways to better their teaching, and they must inspire their students

to be the best versions of themselves. And now with the help AI, they could achieve these goals

much easier.

38．. First, AI can be used to promote fundamental skills, such as mathematical education

and vocabulary lessons. Additionally, I see AI being used for such necessary tasks as answering

questions and grading assignments. Thus I could focus my attention to establishing human

connection, individualizing lesson plans and inspiring my students.

39．. I believe AI could provide a strong basis for educational equality around the world.

According to Todd Leopold, close to 800 million people worldwide are functionally illiterate ( 不

识字的). Due to its ability to efficiently pass knowledge across large groups of people fewer

teachers may be needed in some schools. 40．.

A．Since students will always need a human teacher

B．The benefit AI brings is far beyond my own classroom

C．I think AI is a powerful assistant to my future classroom

D．The need for students to learn how to use AI will also grow

E.Although human connection may never be able to be fully replaced by AI

F.This could be an opportunity for students everywhere to receive equal education

G.They must observe and get to know their students in order to individualize educational plans

In the future, we will be competing against medically-enhanced workers who can work

longer and harder than us. Artificial intelligence will make it easier to monitor our every move in

the office. This may sound like science fiction, but it’s a likely 41 , according to a new

report by professional services firm PricewaterhouseCoopers.

The report, which 42 a team of science researchers and a survey of more than 10,000

workers based in China, Germany, India, the U.K., and the U.S., predicts that rapid advances in

technology, resource 43 , and population demographics are among the key forces that would

radically 44 the future of work by 2030.

According to PwC, these forces will result in four potential futures: one where “humans

come first,” one where “innovation 45 ,” one where “companies care,” and one where

“corporate is king.”

In the future world where corporations reign, PwC states that “human effort is 46 through

sophisticated use of physical and medical enhancement techniques and equipment, and workers’

performance and 47 are measured, monitored and analysed at every step. A new breed of elite

super-workers emerges.”

This is a world where performance is everything, and workers will need to create every 48

to stay ahead. This may sound like a stressful objective, but the majority of people surveyed 49

the challenge.

Seventy percent of the workers surveyed said that they would undergo 50 to improve

their body and mind if it would improve their chances of employment. This could be because we

believe it’s up to us to improve our careers — even if that means pill-popping performance-

enhancing drugs. Of those surveyed, 74% said it was their individual 51 “to update their skills
rather than relying on any employer.”

To visualize this 52 future, PwC created a mock news article reporting from 2030 that

detailed the first large-scale use of brain-enhancing drugs in the workplace.

But you don’t need a fake news report to see this future; real news reports about augmented

bodies in the office have existed for some time. Companies in the U.S. and Europe are already

offering microchip implants to workers, so they can enter company buildings and get their chips

from the vending machine with the 53 of a hand.

PwC predicts that the idea of a cyborg workforce will go from science fiction novelty to

mainstream in the next few decades.

“So implants at work are already possible and happening and people will use it 54 to pay

for things and to get on to buses and public transport. Why would they not 10 years later go, sure,

put one in my brain to make me think harder or for 55 ?” Jon Williams, PwC’s people and

organizations division leader told The Australian about its survey. “It’s just natural progression.”

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was 1st January, the first day of the year and a holiday for me. What luck! I started by

thinking of getting the bank work out of the way. The bank person, an elderly gentleman with a

white beard, paid little attention to my polite “Happy New Year” as usual. He nodded and I sat in

front of him.

Minutes passed and nothing happened.

Then very hesitantly I put my form and booklet (小册子) in front of him. He was busy filling

up entries in his register. After a few minutes, he took my form and from his cabinet he took out a

very thick file from which he started filling in my details. I sat there wondering why we had

computerized banking if we were still filling in forms and registers.

After waiting for a few more minutes, in which I showed all signs of being impatient, I asked

him if my work was done. The moment I uttered (说) the words, I felt as if a bomb had fallen on

him. He shouted, “Nothing is done, it will take time!”

Just then I saw his morning cup of tea which had been lying there for the last ten minutes,

untouched. The tea had turned almost cold while he was doing his work. Suddenly I felt how this

man must be feeling, when customers like me came always in a hurry to get their work done.

He had been working at this counter for God-knows-how-many years. We do not even feel

the need to thank him for being there. He must be feeling so annoyed that “here comes another

person who will push me for doing his work first.”

On an instinct (本能) I told him, “Sir, you please have your tea, I am not in a hurry.” This

man, who I had been seeing for the last few years, suddenly looked up at me and for the first time

we had eye contact—he had never made eye contact earlier. I saw a different person there, another

human being who was as hard-pressed for time as I always am.
