It was the summer before my third grade. Our girls’ softball team was facing real pitchers(投球手) 16 the first time. Before that, we could just hit the ball on the tee(球座). When the coach started pitching, hitting became 17 for me. I missed every single pitch. From the side, I heard my teammate Emily laughing at 18 . My face got hot and my throat

felt like it had a softball stuck in. At that moment, I was starting to 19 playing softball.

The next afternoon, when Mum said it was time to play the game, I told her I was 20 . She allowed me to lie down for a while. So I went to my room and 21 myself in bed. This was difficult for me because I was fine and just 22 to avoid softball.

Soon Mum came in and said, “Time to go!” She didn’t even ask if I felt 23 . I imagined Emily laughing from the sideline, and 24 I really did feel sick to my stomach. I began crying loudly. Still, Mum pulled my team T-shirt over my head. She said, “You have to 25 for the rest of the season, and only after that we can talk about 26 you’ll continue next year.” She added that practice was what I needed, not 27 . She promised to practice with me.

I got two hits that afternoon, and Emily didn’t make a 28 . Every week after that, I practiced at home 29 I got to be one of the best hitters on the team.

That 30 taught me being afraid is part of life, and I can do whatever is expected of me if I keep working and practicing.

World’s history in one place

Is it possible to put millions of years of t he world’s history into one building? The British Museum seems to think so. "

A history of the World in 100 Objects", an exhibition about rare and ancient objects from the world, has made it a success.

The British Museum says it owns at least 8 million historical objects. But why choose these 100 objects to tel stories of our world's history?

It all started with a challenge(挑戰(zhàn)).

Neil MacGregor, who was once director of the British Museum, was asked by BBC to choose 100 objects from the museum's huge collection. The objects had to include things from the beginning of human history about 2 million years ago to the present day.

MacGregor accepted, and took four years to choose each object himself.

In 2010, MacGregor appeared on BBC radio, giving a detailed(詳細(xì)的)explanation of each object. The show was a big hit and all these 100 objects were shown in the British Museum. A book with photos of each object soon followed.

"The objects had to cover the whole world, from a cooking pot to a golden galleon, from a Stone Age tool to a credit card." MacGregor wrote.

The collection includes many important objects from China. There is a banknote from the Ming Dynasty, showing China as the first country to use paper money.

But it’s not just ancient things that are shown. Among them are some modern things like a solar-powered lamp and even a throne made of weapons created by an African artist.

“Of course, the collection could only be ‘a(chǎn)’ history of the world. But it is still a history that people in the present world need to know.” MacGregor wrote.

1. “A history of the World in 100 Objects” is a(n) ________.

A. TV programme about Africa B. challenge of scientific research

C. book about modern development D. exhibition of the world’s history

2. We can learn that the BBC programme by Neil MacGregor was _______.

A. successful B. expensive C. regular D. traditional

3.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. The objects shown cover half of the world.

B. Neil MacGregor used to be director of BBC.

C. China was the first country to use paper money.

D. The British Museum owns 2 million historical objects.

科目:初中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源:2017年初中畢業(yè)升學(xué)考試(四川宜賓卷)英語(yǔ)(解析版) 題型:閱讀理解

Many people thought a computer wasn’t supposed to be able to beat a top master at the ancient Chinese game, Weiqi, for at least another 10 years. But AlphaGo, an artificially intelligent system(人工智能系統(tǒng) ) designed by Google, made it. It easily beat Lee Sedol last year, one of the best players in the world. It challenged the world’s top players to show how much progress it had made over the past few years.

In the late of May, 2017, AlphaGo appeared in China and played against 19-year-old Ke Jie in Wuzhen, China. He is No. 1 player now in the world. However, the result wasn’t out of people’s expectation. He lost the matches. Though Ke Jie tried his best and he once saw the victory just a step away, he lost his best chance when he became excited.

At the press conference(新聞發(fā)布會(huì)) after the match, Ke Jie was interviewed by the reporters. He said he had realized how powerful AlphaGo was, and it was getting perfect. When a Chinese reporter asked him in English, the reporter spoke so fast that the interpreter(口譯員) couldn’t catch him. Ke Jie got kind of angry and told him that it was unnecessary for two Chinese to speak English. The reporter apologized to him and offered to ask him for a coffee.

The cat and mouse game is over, but the challenge between man and robots will still go on.

1.Which was the most probable date when Ke Jie played against AlphaGo?

A. May 5. B. May 23. C. May 18. D. May Day.

2.Why did Ke Jie get angry at the press conference?

A. Because he lost the game.

B. Because the reporter couldn’t catch the interpreter.

C. Because the reporter asked him in English.

D. Because the reporter wasn’t able to speak Chinese well.

3.According to the passage, which of the following statements is True?

A. People thought a computer could beat humans many years ago.

B. Ke Jie was expected to lose the matches.

C. Ke Jie asked the reporter for a coffee.

D. AlphaGo had great trouble winning the game last year.

4.AlphaGo is ______.
