【題目】Answer the questions（根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容回答下列問(wèn)題）

There was once a boy who was afraid of the dark. He thought that his bedroom was filled up with monsters when it was dark. But there came a time when he was too old to be allowed to keep sleeping with the light on .

That first night he was filled with fear, his mind full of monsters. Therefore, he went over to his wardrobe to get a torch. But when he opened the wardrobe door, he saw a monster, face to face, and he let out the loudest scream in the world.

When the boy asked him why, the monster told him the boy’s face seemed to him the most horrible thing he’d ever seen with eyes, ears and a nose. The boy felt the similar way about the monster with a huge head full of mouths and hair.

【題目】 Going to the beach at the weekend in Australia is a very popular activity, just as much as going to a shopping centre or doing a sport. The Australian Beach Culture is similar to that in California and the Mediterranean.

Australians live by the sea, so it makes it very convenient for them to spend the weekend on the beach. Besides some places that can have winter weather, most of Australia is sunny throughout the whole year. This also provides a good chance for the development of the Australian Beach Culture.

However, when you go to the beach, there are some things you should consider. You should know that because the ozone layer (臭氧層) above some parts of Australia is thin, there is a great danger from the sunlight. The sun here is very strong and it burns the skin really fast. Australia has one of the highest rates(比率) of skin cancer in the world. So if you go to the beach, take hats and sunglasses.

Besides this, there are some other things that you should know. Sometimes the sea seems to be very peaceful, but the currents(水流) in the water can be very strong. So, if you don't know very much about the sea, you should swim only in the safe area between the flags at the beach. By the way, people are not allowed to sell anything on the beach without an official permission (官方許可證).

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，完成下列小題。

【1】What is a very popular activity at the weekend in Australia?

【2】Which health problem is the most common in Australia?

Artificial intelligence( 人工智能) is the ability of a computer or a machine. The computer or the machine with AI can think and learn. It is also a field of study that tries to make computers "smart". John McCarthy, a scientist, came up with the name "artificial intelligence " over 60 years ago. Many things such as learning and problem solving can be done by computers, though not in the same way as people do.

An unusual goal of AI research is to create special computer programs. They can learn, solve problems and think logically( 合乎邏輯地). At present, AI can successfully understand human speech, recognize( 識(shí)別) human faces, operate self-driving cars and compete in some game systems like playing chess. However, some people consider AI a danger to humans if it develops too quickly. A famous British scientist also was not for this kind of technology.

Math is the basic language of AI. If students are good at math, they will be more likely to become successful AI designers in the future. We need not only bright students but average(普通的) students. As for average students, if they get enough math skills, they can also become successful AI designers. Besides, a good knowledge of computer science is also necessary for AI designing.

Scientists hope to create creative and emotional(有情感的) AI. The AI can possibly understand human feelings or create art. Many ways and tools have been tried to discover this wide and exciting field.

【題目】 I love Charles Barkley like a brother but we disagree from time to time. Here’s an example of what I mean: I disagree with what Charles says in his Nike commercial, the one in which he insist, “I am not a role model.” Charles, you can deny being a role model all you want, but we don’t choose to be role models, we are chosen. Our only choice is whether to be a good role model or a bad one.

I don’t think we can accept all the glory and the money that comes with being a famous athlete and not accept the responsibility of being a role model, of knowing that kids and even some adults are watching us and looking for us to set an example.

I love being a role model, and I try to be a positive one. That doesn’t mean I always succeed. I’m not saint (圣賢的). I make mistakes, and sometimes I do childish things.

But you don’t have to be perfect to be a good role model, and people shouldn’t expect perfection. If I were deciding whether a basketball player was a positive role model , I would want to know : Does he influence people’s lives in a positive way away from the court(球場(chǎng))? How much has he given of himself, in time or in money, to help people who look up to him? Does he display the values ——like honesty and determination ——that are part of being a good person?

Kids have lots of other role models——teachers, movies stars, athletes, even other kids. As athletes , we can’t take the place of parents , but we can help reinforce（鞏固）what they try to teach their kids .

Constantly being watched by the public can be hard to stand at times. I don’t think most people can imagine what it’s like to be watched that closely every minute of every day.

But the good things about being a role modeloutweighthe bad , It’s a great feeling to think you’re a small part of the reason that a kid decided to give school another try instead of dropping out or that a kid had the strength to walk away when someone offered him drugs . But one thing I would encourage parents to do is to remind their kids that no matter which athletes they look up to, there are no perfect human beings. That way, if the kid’s heroes should make mistakes, it won’t seem like the end of the world to them.

【1】The author of this article holds the opinion that

A.a famous athlete ought to set a good example to the public

B.a famous athlete needn’t be a role model if he doesn’t want to

C.a famous athlete can’t deny being a role model

D.it’s hard to be a role model

【2】According to the author, a positive role model

A.can win more money and fame

B.are not allowed to make mistakes

C.are the most important examples a child can follow

D.can have some positive influence on people’s follow

【3】The underlined word “outweigh” in the last paragraph probable means

A.be greater thanB.be worse than

C.be less thanD.be lighter than

【4】Which of the following is best supported by the last paragraph ?

A.A good role model can stop children taking drugs .

B.Kids usually expect too much of their role models

C.Dropping out of schools and taking drugs are the two most serious problems American kids face .

D.Kids drop out of school or take drugs if seeing their heroes make mistakes .

A.an admirer of Charles BarkleyB.a famous athlete himself
