Over her bald head, she wore a pink hat that matched her clothes. But the third grader’s cheery dressing didn’t mask her pain and weary eyes. ‎ Then a visitor showed up. “Do you want to write a song?” Asked Anita Kruse, 49, rolling a cart equipped with an electronic keyboard, a microphone and speakers. Simran stared. “Have you ever written a poem?” Anita Kruse continued. “Well, yes,” Simran said. ‎ Within minutes, Simran was reading her poem into the microphone. “Some bird soaring through the sky,” she said softly. “Imagination in its head…” Thirty minutes later, she presented Simran with a CD of her first recorded song. ‎ That was the beginning of Anita Kruse’s project, Purple Songs Can Fly, one that has helped more than 125 patients write and record songs. As a composer and pianist who had performed at the hospital, Kruse said the idea of how she could help “came in one flash.”‎ The effect on the kids has been great. One teenage girl, curling(蜷缩) in pain in her wheelchair, stood unaided to dance to a hip-hop song she ‎ had written. “My time with the kids is heartbreaking because of the severity of their illnesses,” says Anita Kruse. “But they also make you happy, when the children are smiling, excited to share their CD with their families.”‎ Simran is now a cancer-free. From time to time, she and her mother listen to her song, Always Remembering, and they always remember the “really sweet and nice and loving” lady who gave them a shining moment in the dark hour.‎ ‎21.

A Kind Woman-- Anita Kruse B Free Admission to Hundreds of Museums on Sept. 25‎ ‎ What a weekend! This Saturday, Sept.25, hundreds of US museums are admission-free for the Smithsonian’s annual Museum Day.‎ ‎ Unlike previous Museum Day celebrations, you must sign up for a free ticket that admits two people to any of the participating museums. That means filling out a form and having the ticket emailed to you. Not bad for a free offer that will give you free admission to museums such as Adler Planetarium in Chicago and the Air& Space Museum in San Diego.‎ Free Books for Kids @Barnes & Noble!‎ ‎ If your kids love to read—and we hope they do – be sure to sign them up for Barnes & Noble’s Summer Reading programs so they can earn a free book!‎ ‎ It’s easy for kids aged 12 and under to participate.

Choose your free book from the list.‎ Free Night of Theatre Across the US in October ‎ It’s the annual run of the Free Night of Theatre, when hundreds of theaters in 120 US cities give away thousands of tickets to local productions. ‎ While the kickoff date is Oct.15, many of the theaters start releasing their free tickets by Oct. 1 or in the waves(一阵一阵地) during the month of October for performance dates throughout the month.

The tickets can be used in any US city. ‎ ‎ D. They take place once a year.‎ C ‎ From self-driving cars to carebots for elderly people, rapid development in technology has long represented a possible threat to many jobs normally performed by people. But experts now believe that almost 50 percent of occupations existing today will be completely unnecessary by 2025 as artificial intelligence continues to change businesses. ‎ ‎“The next fifteen years will see a revolution in how we work, and a revolution will necessarily take place in how we plan and think about workplaces, ” said Peter Andrew, Director of Workplace Strategy for ‎ CBRE Asia PACIFIC. ‎ A growing number of jobs in the future will require creative intelligence, social skills and the ability to use artificial intelligence. ‎ The report is based on interviews with 200 experts, business leaders and young people from Asia Pacific, Europe and North America. It shows that in the US technology already destroys more jobs than it creates. ‎ But the report states, “Losing occupations does not necessarily mean losing jobs – just changing what people do.” Growth in new jobs could occur as much, according to the research. ‎ ‎“The growth of 20 to 40 companies that have the speed and technological know-how will directly challenge big companies,” it states. ‎ A 2014 report by Pew Research found 52 percent of experts in artificial intelligence and robotics were optimistic about the future and believed there would still be enough jobs in the next few years. The optimists pictured “ a future in which robots do not take the place of more jobs than they create,” according to Aaron Smith, the report’s co-author.‎ ‎“Technology will continue to affect jobs but more jobs seem likely to be created. Although there have always been unemployed people, when we reached a few billion people there billions of jobs. There is no shortage of things that need to be done and that will not change,” Microsoft’s Jonathan Grudin told researchers.‎ ‎28. We can infer from the text that in the future______. ‎ ‎ A. people will face many difficulties ‎ B. people will take up more creative jobs ‎ C. artificial intelligence will threaten people’s lives ‎ D. most jobs will be done in traditional workplaces ‎29. According to the article, ________‎ ‎ A. people won’t necessarily lose jobs ‎ B. big companies will face fewer challenges ‎ C. small companies will win against big companies ‎ D. most people will become interested in technology ‎30. What is the attitude of most experts in artificial intelligence and robotics to the future?‎ ‎ A. Mixed. B. Worried. C. Hopeful. D. Doubtful. ‎ ‎31. Jonathan Grudin’s words in the last paragraph suggest that _______. ‎ ‎ A. there will be enough jobs for people ‎ B. things will change a lot in a few years ‎ C. many people will become unemployed ‎ D. technology will totally change future jobs D ‎ Ever since its creation over 40 years ago, the Internet has remained an almost unrestricted(无限制的) place. It is a place where anyone can present themselves in any form they choose. Because of anonymity(匿名) on the web it is possible for people—some of whom might normally be ‎ restricted from communicating with the outside world—to speak out without fearing the result of their actions. Those actions could put them in danger if carried out in their real names. Being anonymous on the web also makes it possible for people to discuss sensitive subjects, such as medical conditions and physical abuse, without these actions affecting their everyday lives in a harmful way. ‎ There are many positive ways to use anonymity on the web, but there can sometimes be very bad side effects too, such as bullying(欺侮)， racism, imitating someone in order to cheat others. When this kind of damaging activity is carried out online, how can the offender(冒犯者) ever be held responsible for their actions when they are anonymous on the web? How can we find them?‎ Thankfully, things are starting to change. The rise of social networks like Facebook, Google and Linkedin, which rely on people’s true identity, makes it increasingly difficult to live an anonymous life on the Internet. We are already beginning to see positive side effects due to these new levels of transparency(透明). Bullying, offensive comments and other forms of abuse are becoming less widespread now that people are no longer able to hide behind a mask. ‎ However, the Internet is a place where everything can be found easily. A mistake made during a person’s teenage years could permanently tarnish their online records for the rest of their lives, no ‎ matter how much time has passed. We’ve all heard stories of employers examining jobs applicants via Google and Facebook. Would it be unfair of them to judge you by your past mistakes, shown by a social network that remembers everything you’ve ever done? I think so. ‎ Now that our actions on the web are more public, we need to make sure we manage our personal information well.‎ ‎32. Paragraph 1 is mainly about _______. ‎ ‎ A. how to use the Internet ‎ ‎ B. the history of the Internet ‎ C. why people like being anonymous on the web ‎ ‎ D. the positive effects of anonymity on the Internet ‎33. One of the bad side effects of anonymity on the web is that ______. ‎ ‎ A. it will lead to irresponsibility in real life ‎ B. offenders will get away with their actions ‎ C. it will result in bad relationships among people ‎ D. surfing the Internet will become a painful experience ‎34. The underlined word “tarnish” in paragraph 4 probably means “_______”.‎ ‎ A. keep B. open C. remove D. damage ‎35. Which section of a newspaper is the passage most probably taken from?‎ ‎ A. Business B. Opinion C. People D. Education 第一节 ‎（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入空白处的最佳选项。 选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ If you carry burdens all the time, sooner or later, you won’t be able to carry on. So, whatever burdens you are carrying now, let them down for a moment if you can. __36_‎ Do your hardest task first thing in the morning. Pushing a hard task back is like holding a glass of water in an outstretched arm. _37__ Do the most annoying task first thing in the morning, and enjoy increased productivity and peace of mind for the rest of the day.‎ ‎__38__ You make plans to go outside with your friends. But at the last minute, it starts raining. What’s your reaction? The rain won’t stop just because you lose your temper. Make the most of what you can control, and don’t worry about what you can’t.‎ List three things you love about your situation right now. Just three simple things about any part of your life you love, like “three simple things I love about the room I’m in right now”, or “three simple things I love about this week”, or anything else. This is a great technique if you’ve ever bored while stuck in traffic, or waiting in the grocery store checkout lane. __39___‎ Walk to a window, look outside, and take a single deep breath. Just walk to a window, look outside for some minutes, and then take a ‎ deep breath, focusing only on that breath and nothing else in the whole world. This technique sounds extremely simple, __40__‎ A. You can immediately transform boredom into happiness and peace of mind.‎ B. But the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes.‎ C. At first nothing happens, but if you do it for hours or even days, you’ll soon feel the stress. ‎ D. Here are some simple ways to increase your peace of mind. ‎ E. But you won’t believe how much it can instantly increase your peace of mind.‎ F. Don’t worry about what others are thinking.‎ G. Let go of things you can’t control 第三部分 英语知识运用 （共两节，满分 45） ‎ 第一节 完形填空（共 20 小题；每小题 1.5 分，满分 30 分） ‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C 和 D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 ‎ ‎ “Paul must have been trying to carry his waste paper to garbage can and dropped a few pieces.” I 41  , picking them up. 42   later I found more pieces.
