One day I was taking a bus. The driver didn't  41  to start the bus soon because it was not yet  42 .A middle-aged woman got on. Tired and sad, she told her story  43 , not to anyone particular. On her way to the station, half of her  44  was stolen. The other half was hidden under her blouse, so she 45  still had some left. A few minutes later, she stopped crying, but still looked  46 .

When all the seats were taken, the driver started the engine. The conductor began to collect the fares. When she came to an old man in worn-out clothes, he  47  that he had spent all his money as he accidentally got on a wrong bus and now was trying to go home.

Science fiction writers create imaginary worlds. The way things work in your imaginary worlds will be based on actual science. So it’s important for you to be familiar with the scientific principles and inventions that are related to your creation. For example, if you’re writing about humans living on a planet with zero gravity, then you need to know the effects of zero gravity on the human body.

Then you have to figure out the exact rules of your imaginary worlds. And you have to follow them. If humans have evolved to breathe underwater in Chapter 1, your character can’t drown in a swimming pool in Chapter 3. If your robots write poetry but not fiction, then you can’t throw a novelist robot into Chapter 8. The issue here is maintaining your readers’ trust. That means the reader is willing to pretend along with you. If you start out with an ordinary detective novel and then throw in someone breathing underwater in the 6th chapter, your readers’ reaction might be, “What the h……?” The imaginative spell is broken. You’ve pulled the readers out of their imagination. The same thing happens if you change the rules halfway.

Part of your preparation work for the novel is to map out its worlds for yourself in great detail. Decide: the history of the world, the geography, what possibilities it offers, how everything works in this new reality, and how all of these factors affect the way your characters think, feel, and react to things. You don’t have to tell your readers all the rules in the first chapter. But you have to let your readers know enough to understand what’s going on. This also allows you to work out logical problems and contradictions before you start writing.

   When you are writing, remember to make it feel real. You are inviting readers to visit a new world. They will want to be able to see, hear, feel, smell, and even taste what it’s like. Whether your novel is about a world without disease or an undiscovered planet, help your readers feel like they’re actually there.

61. What’s the relationship between actual science and science fiction?

A. Science fiction promotes the development of actual science.

B. Science fiction often reflects the development of actual science.

C. Actual science limits the imagination described in science fiction.

D. Actual science provides basic principles for science fiction.

62. The second paragraph is mainly developed by ________.

A. making comparisons                                      B. giving examples

A. It is necessary to do some scientific experiments before writing science fiction.

B. It is more difficult to write science fiction than ordinary detective novels.

C. Readers of science fiction actually pretend the writers’ rules are true.

D. It is great to leave some contradictions in your science fiction.

64. The target (目标) readers of the passage are ________.

A. young scientists                                             B. science fiction writers

D．AI does better than humans in sight and balance. Who is smarter? A human being or artificial intelligence（人工智能）?

The question swept the world last year when a Google-developed program called AlphaGo defeated the world top player, South Korean Lee Se-del, 4-1.

So, what comes next?

Some people have been arguing that artificial intelligence, or AI in short, will be a bad thing for humans. In an interview with the BBC in 2014, UK scientist Stephen Hawking warned that “the development of full artificial intelligence could mean the end of the human race.”

So are we really about to live in the world shown in the Terminator movies?

   “Not quite,” answered The Economist. After all, it’s not hard to get a computer program to remember and produce facts. What is hard is getting computers to use their knowledge in everyday situations.

“We think that, for the human being, things like sight and balance（视觉平衡）, are natural and ordinary in our life.” Thomas Edison, founder of Motion Figures, a company that is bringing AI to boys, told the newspaper. “But for a robot, to walk up and down just like human beings requires various decisions to be made every second, and it’s really difficult to do.”

As The Economist put it, “We have a long way to go before AI can truly begin to be similar to the human brain, even though the technology can be great.”

Meanwhile, John Markoff of The New York Times said that researchers should build artificial intelligence to make people more effective.

“Our fate is in our own hands,” he wrote. “Since technology depends on the values of its creators, we can make human choices that use technology to improve the world.”

28．What was the result of the match?

A．Lee Se-del won AlphaGo 4-1.      B．Lee Se-del was defeated.

C．Google program beat AlphaGo.     D．Neither side won the match.

29．What does Thomas Edison possibly mean in his remarks?

A．It’s very hard for AI to beat the human brain.

B．AI would take the place of human beings.

C．AI can make various decisions quickly.

D．AI does better than humans in sight and balance.

30．Who believes much has to be done to improve AI?

A．Stephen Hawking.             B．John Markoff.

C．The New York Times.      D．The Economist.

31．What does the underlined part in the last paragraph imply?

A．AI will improve the world completely.   

B．AI is in the control of human beings.

C．AI may bring disasters to human beings.

D．AI will make our future out of control.

From a college designed specifically for high school students to one that doesn’t provide students with grades, here are some of the country’s most unique institutions.
●Berea College, Berea, Kentucky

The first interracial, co-educational college in the South, Berea specializes in attracting students who may be otherwise unable to afford a college education. Berea students come from families with an average household income of $ 30,000, which is why the school’s financial aid program is so important.
●Deep Springs College, Deep Springs, California

Deep Springs, formerly an all-male school, has one of the smallest student bodies in the country at 26. The college accepts only 10% of its applicants, and maintains its own cattle herd. Students enjoy the school’s isolated location — 45 miles away from the nearest established town. Electricity is produced mainly through solar power, and the college sometimes even sells electricity to Pacific Gas&Electric.
●The Evergreen State College, Olympia, Washington

At Evergreen, students don’t receive traditional letter grades. Instead, professors issue narrative(叙述的) evaluations of students’ work at the end of each term. The curriculum is structured around the"Coordinated Studies Program", which focuses on providing students with a well-rounded education across a number of different areas. The college sits on 1,000 breathtaking acres, a portion of it on Puget Sound.

●Hampshire College, Amherst, Massachusetts

Considered an"experimenting"college because of its constantly changing curriculum, Hampshire College doesn’t feature a traditional grading system.

Birds don’t like eating plastic. But     61      (many) seabirds are eating plastic waste in the ocean than ever before. It is    62    (possible) because the plastic waste smells like a seabird’s food, according to a new study   63     (publish) in the Science Advances journal.

    “Animals usually have     64    reason for the decisions they make,” Matthew Savoca, the lead author of the study, said. “If we want to truly understand    65     animals are eating plastic in the ocean, we have to think about how animals find food.”

    The study found that plastic waste easily gathers algae (海藻) on the water. Together they give off a smell very similar      66      the krill（磷虾）that many sea birds feed on.

    There is more plastic pollution in the world every year. A study last year     67    (show) that about 8 million tons of plastic enters the oceans every year. It is enough     68      (cover) every coastline in the world.

        69     (eat) plastic can badly hurt the organs (器官) of the animals. Some birds even mistakenly feed   70   (they) babies waste instead of food. Scientists hope this study will cause alarm about plastics in our oceans and help save the seabirds.

Cleverness is a gift while kindness is a choice．Gifts are easy—they’re given after all．Choice can be hard．

I got the idea to start Amazon 16 years ago．I came across the fact that the Internet usage was growing at 2300 percent per year．I’d never seen or heard of anything that grew that fast，and the idea of building all online bookstore with millions of titles was very exciting to me.
