When I was a little boy aged two, my mom agreed to Let me take a short ride and that was it! From then on, I drove my parents crazy Begging for a horse.‎ ‎ When I was four, I had Mutism, in which children stop speaking in certain social situations. I went days, weeks months without a sound at school. At most, I might quietly whisper to a friend. I suffered silently through school until I was ten when a psychologist had an idea, He asked me what I wanted more than anything else in the world. He explained I was going to be given an opportunity to work for that. And I was permitted to whisper the answer in my mother's ear, "A horse. "‎ ‎ I was to get a pony, but I had to Live up to my end of the bargain. I had a chart of weekly tasks I had to accomplish. I had to answer the phone five times per week, something I had never done before. I had to say one word to my teacher at school and the list went on. For a child with Mutism, saying one word to someone can be like climbing Mount Qomolangma. I did everything that was asked of me and the day came, His name was Sequoia, whom I fell in love with immediately. When I was in Sequoia's presence, I forgot all about my problems and felt strong and secure.‎ ‎ I am a fully participating member of society these days. My horses and I made it through a master’s degree. I may have made it otherwise, but I’m not sure. I feel I owe my life to the horses and I try to give it back to them every day. They have given me the best gift I could ever imagine, my life.‎ ‎25. What was the situation like when the author was four?‎ ‎ A. He didn't say a word at all.‎ ‎ B. He learned how to ride a horse.‎ ‎ C. He found his classmates unfriendly.‎ ‎ D. He had difficulty in communicating.‎ ‎26. What can we infer about the author from Paragraph 3?‎ ‎ A. He completed some tasks easily,‎ ‎ B. He pushed himself extremely hard.‎ ‎ C. He fell in love with Sequoia gradually.‎ ‎ D. He found the psychologist's idea ineffective.‎ ‎27. What is the author's purpose in writing the text?‎ ‎ A. To share his unfortunate childhood.‎ ‎ B. To give tips on how to cure Mutism.‎ ‎ C. To show his deep gratefulness to horses.‎ D. To inspire kids struggling against Mutism.‎ ‎ C ‎ Wouldn't it be wonderful to travel to a foreign country without having to worry about the headache of communicating in a different language?‎ ‎ In a recent Wall Street journal article, technology policy expert Alec Ross argued that, within a decade or so. We’ll be able to communicate with one another via small earpieces with built-in microphones. That's because technological progress is extremely rapid. It’s only a matter of time. Indeed, some parents are so convinced that this technology is imminent that they're wondering if their kids should even learn a second language.‎ It's true that an increase in the quantity and accuracy of the data loaded into computers will make them cleverer at translating "No es bueno dormir mucho " as "1t's not good to sleep too much." Replacing a word with its equivalent (同义词) in the target language is actually the "easy part' of a translator's job. But even this seems to be a discouraging task for computers.‎ ‎ It’’s so difficult for computers because translation doesn't-or shouldn’t-involve simply translating words, sentences or paragraphs. Rather, it’s about translating meaning. And in order to infer meaning from a specific expression, humans have to interpret a mass of information at the same time.‎ ‎ Think about all the related clues that go into understanding an expression: volume, gesture, situation, and even your culture. All are likely to convey as much meaning as the words you use.‎ ‎ Therefore, we should be very skeptical of a machine that is unable to interpret the world around us. If people from different cultures can offend each other without realizing it, how can we expect a machine to do better? Unless engineers actually find a way to breathe a soul into a computer, undoubtedly when it comes to conveying and interpreting meaning using a natural language, a machine will never fully take our place.‎ ‎28. What does the underlined word "imminent in Paragraph 2 probably mean?‎ ‎ A. Ready. B. Approaching. C. Helpful. D. Advanced.‎ ‎29. Why is it hard for computers to replace a word with its equivalent?‎ ‎ A. Their data is not adequate enough.‎ ‎ B, The real meaning of words can vary.‎ ‎ C. Their accuracy needs big improvement.‎ ‎ D, A soul hasn't been breathed in them.‎ ‎30. What view does the author hold about translation?‎ ‎ A. Proper translation can be tough for humans.‎ ‎ B. Slight distinctions matter little in translation.‎ ‎ C. Some machines will interpret our world properly.‎ ‎ D Cultures deserve more attention than words used.‎ ‎31. What is the best title for the text?‎ ‎ A. An Expert's Precise Prediction B. The Complexity of Translation C. Who Will Be a Better Translator D. Will Language Barrier Actually Fall ‎ D Lucy, whose skeleton(骨骼) was discovered in Ethiopia in 1974, died shortly after she fell out of a tree, according to a new study published Monday in the British journal Nature.‎ For their research, Kappelman and Dr. Richard Ketcham used a CT scanner to create more than 35,000 "slices" of Lucy's skeleton. Scientists named her Lucy from the Beatles song "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds", which was played at the camp the night of her discovery.‎ The following analysis of the slices showed sharp, clean breaks seen at the end of Lucy's right humerus(肱骨) are similar to bone breaks seen in victims of falls.‎ The researchers concluded that these and other breaks in her skeleton show that Lucy, who is believed to have stood about 3 feet 6 inches and weighed about 60 pounds, fell feet first and used her arms to support herself — but that the injury was too severe to have been survivable.‎ The researchers estimate that Lucy was going about 35 miles an hour when she hit the ground after falling from a height of roughly 40 feet, according to the statement.‎ That sounds plausible. But other scientists are doubtful. "There are countless explanations for bone breaks," Dr, Donald C, Johanson, director of the Institute of Human Origins and one of the scientists who discovered Lucy, said, "The suggestion that she fell out of a tree is largely a just-so story and therefore unprovable." Johanson said it was more likely that Lucy's breaks occurred long after she died, saying that "elephant bones appear to have the same kind of breaks, It's unlikely they fell out of a tree. "‎ But the new research focused on "a small number of breaks" that are consistent with "high-energy bone-to-bone influences" and which differ from the sorts of breaks commonly seen in other collected bones. Kappelman responded in an email, "These appear to have occurred at or near the time of death."‎ ‎32. What can we know about Lucy from Kappelman and Dr. Richard Ketcham's research?‎ ‎ A. She got her name from a song.‎ ‎ B. She had more than 35,000 slices.‎ ‎ C. She couldn't use her arms properly.‎ ‎ D. She made an effort to save herself.‎ ‎33. What does the underlined word "plausible" in. Paragraph 6 probably mean?‎ ‎ A. Reasonable. B. Creative. C. Surprising. D. Unbelievable.‎ ‎34. Which of the following would Johanson probably agree?‎ ‎ A. Elephants are unlikely to die from falling.‎ ‎ B. Lucy got breaks at or near the time of death.‎ ‎ C. Other reasons for the breaks should be considered.‎ ‎ D. Lucy's bone breaks differ from other bone breaks.‎ ‎35. What conclusion can we draw from the passage?‎ ‎ A. Lucy didn't die from falling out of a tree.‎ ‎ B. The newly published study was meaningless.‎ C. The argument on how Lucy died will continue.‎ D. Scientists will find another way to solve the problem.‎ 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ ‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ ‎ Shoulder pain is common. The shoulder has the most range of movement of any part in the body. 36 Furthermore, shoulder pain sometimes comes from other areas of the body.
