Mrs. Grady was happy, “That would be wonderful, boys. I think the job is getting to be too much for me”. “It will cost 10 dollars,” Jamie said. “If that’s OK”, Mark added. “ Oh dear, ” Mrs. Grady said disappointedly, “I haven’t been able to get to the bank. I can offer homemade cookies, but I realize that’s not what you had in mind.” ‎ ‎ Mark was going to say that Mrs. Grady could pay them another time, but Jamie cut him off. “We’ll come back later.” Mrs. Grady doesn’t look like the person who’d come to his rescue last summer when Mr. Dunn’s collie, Goldie had just wanted to play, but Mark didn’t feel comfortable around big dogs. He wanted to call for help, but his tongue seemed locked behind his teeth. Then Mrs. Grady’s front door had flown open. She must have seen him from across the street. ‘Hold on, Mark. I’m coming!” “Goldie” she’d called. As soon as Goldie had turned her head, Mrs. Grady had slipped between Mark and the dog. She wasn’t much taller than Mark, but she’d stood firm as a rock in front of him. “Goldie, go home!” Then she’d swept her broom to hurry the dog along. “Get!” Goldie had obeyed. When Mark showed thanks to Mrs. Grady, Mrs. Grady laughed. “ It was nothing. Good neighbors watch out for each other, don’t they?” And now Mrs. Grady needed Mark as much as he’d needed her last summer. He smiled and waved at Mrs. Grady, then his shovel deep into the snow. “Hey!” Jamie shouted. “What are you doing?” Mark couldn’t explain about Goldie and watching out for neighbors. “I like Mrs. Grady’s cookies,” he said.‎ ‎24. Why did Jamie and Mark plan to clear the snow for Mrs.Grady at first? ‎ A. To earn pocket money  B. To do volunteer work  ‎ C. To visit New Kingdom D. To help the lady    25. Mrs. Grady couldn’t pay them most probably because ________.‎ A. she couldn’t find the bank  B. she thought it was worthless      ‎ C. she couldn’t afford it  D. she didn’t have enough cash 26. According to the story, which of the following word cannot be used to describe Mrs.‎ Grady? A. Positive    B. Helpful    C. Brave   D. Hopeful ‎27. Which of the following proverb can best summarize the story? A. A penny saved is a penny earned    B. Kindness is repaid with kindness  C. A clear conscience          D. Actions speak louder than work C As a person who writes about food and drink for a living, I couldn’t tell you the first thing about Bill Perry or whether the beers he sells are that great. But I can tell you that I like this guy. That’s because he plans to ban tipping in favor of paying his servers an actual living wage. ‎ I hate tipping. ‎ I hate it because it’s an obligation disguised as an option. I hate it for the post-dinner math it requires of me. But mostly, I hate tipping because I believe I would be in a better place if pay decisions regarding employees were simply left up to their employers, as is the custom in virtually every other industry. ‎ Most of you probably think that you hate tipping, too. Research suggests otherwise. You actually love tipping! You like to feel that you have a voice in how much money your server makes. No matter how the math works out, you persistently view restaurants with voluntary tipping systems as being a better value, which makes it extremely difficult for restaurants and bars to do away with the tipping system. ‎ One argument that you tend to hear a lot from the pro-tipping crowd seems logical enough: the service is better when waiters depend on tips. Well, if this were true, we would all be giving a few 100-dollar bills to our doctors on the way out their doors, too. But as it turns out, waiters see only a tiny increase in tips when they do an exceptional service. Waiters, keen observers of human nature, are catching on to this. In one poll, a full 30% said they didn’t believe the job they did had any impact on the tips they received. ‎ So come on, folks: get on board with ditching the tip system. Pay a little more upfront for your beer or burger. Support Bill Perry’s pub, and any other bar or restaurant that doesn’t ask you to do drunken math. ‎ ‎28. What can we learn about Bill Perry from the passage? ‎ A. He runs a pub that serves excellent beer. ‎ B. He gives his staff a considerable sum for tips.‎ C. He intends to get rid of the tipping practice. ‎ D. He lives comfortably without getting any tips. ‎ ‎29. What have some waiters come to realize according to a survey? ‎ A. Tips benefit the boss rather that the employees.‎ B. It is in human nature to try to save on tips. ‎ C. Tips make it more difficult to please customers. ‎ D. Service quality has little effect on tip size. ‎ ‎30. What does the underlined word in paragraph 6 mean?‎ A. improving B. abandoning C. supporting D. reducing ‎31. What does the author argue for in the passage? ‎ A. Restaurants should calculate the tips for customers. ‎ B. Customers should pay more tips to help improve service. ‎ C. Waiters should be paid by employers instead of customers. ‎ D. Waiters deserve better than just relying on tips for a living.‎ D ‎ Nowadays, many people are involved in the concern that Artificial Intelligence（AI） becomes increasingly sophisticated and could become a threat. But this danger can be avoided, according to computer science professor Stuart Russell, if we figure out how to turn human values into a programmable code.‎ ‎ Russell argues that as robots take on more complicated tasks, it’s necessary to translate our morals into AI language. ‎ ‎ For example, if a robot does chores around the house, you wouldn’t want it to put the pet cat in the oven to make dinner for the hungry children, “You would want that robot preloaded with a good set of values,” said Russell.‎ ‎ Some robots are already programmed with basic human values. For example, mobile robots have been programmed to keep a comfortable distance from humans. Obviously there are cultural differences, but if you were talking to another person and they came up close in your personal space, you wouldn’t think that’s the kind of thing a properly brought-up person would do. ‎ ‎ It will be possible to create more sophisticated moral machines, if only we could find a way to set out human values as clear rules.‎ ‎ Robots could also learn values from drawing patterns from large sets of data on human behavior. They are dangerous only if programmers are careless.‎ ‎ The biggest concern with robots going against human values is that human beings fail to do sufficient testing. One simple solution would be to program a robot to check the correct course of action with a human when presented with an unusual situation.‎ ‎ If the robot is unsure whether an animal is suitable for the microwave, it will send out beeps（嘟嘟声）, and asks for directions from a human.‎ ‎ The most difficult step in programming values will be deciding exactly what we believe in moral, and how to create a set of ethical rules. But if we come up with an answer, robots could be good for humanity. ‎ ‎32. What does the author say about the threat of robots?‎ A. It may be a challenge to computer programmers ‎ B. It accompanies all machinery involving high technology C. It can be avoided if human values are translated into their language D. It has become an unavoidable danger as technology gets more sophisticated ‎33. How do robots learn human values?‎ A. By interacting with humans in everyday life situations B. By following the daily routines of civilized human beings C. By picking up patterns from massive data on human behavior D. By imitating the behavior of property brought-up human beings ‎34. What is most difficult to do when we turn human values into a programmable code?‎ A. Determine what is moral and ethical B. Design some large-scale experiments C. Set rules for man-machine interaction D. Develop a more sophisticated program ‎35. What’s the best title of this passage?‎ A. People’s concern about AI ‎ B. How to prevent the threat caused by AI C. The disadvantages of AI D. Difficulty in programming values 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入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ ‎ 36 ‎ Hard passwords include upper and lower case letters, numbers and special characters. They should be at least eight characters in length. They should also not spell out words easy for hackers to find, like your pet's name or the name of a family member.‎ Change your password regularly A very common mistake made by users is to create one hard password, but then never change it. Remembering a long list of complicated passwords can be difficult. But no password is unbreakable. Hackers are better able to hack multiple accounts if those accounts all have the same password. A password management service, like Dash lane or Password Box, can help you keep track of hard passwords. 37 ‎ Clear your browser (浏览器) history This goes for all the devices you use in a day – your home computer, your work computer, or your friend's iPad. Internet browsers like Firefox or Chrome keep track of where you've been and what you've done online. They keep records of every site you visited. 38 It is very easy for anyone who sees that information to steal a detailed record of your online activities.‎ Do not use free Wi-Fi ‎ 39 Often, a user does not need a password to connect to these wireless networks. These services might be useful, but they're also an easy way for hackers to access everything on your device. ‎ Use anti-virus protection There are many anti-virus services available for users. 40 Some anti-virus services are even free. They are a great way to have a professional help keeping users one step ahead of hackers.‎ A. Be careful while using thumb drive.‎ B. They can offer many different types of computer protection.‎ C. Information about what you sent from or saved on your computer can be kept for days or weeks.‎ D. These services permit users to easily store and secure their passwords.‎ E. An increasing number of public places now offer free wireless access to the Internet.‎ F. Make your password harder to hack.‎ G. Unless you really need it, it is best not to use it.‎ 第三部分语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 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A、B、C和D四个选项中，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。　‎ I was invited to attend a presentation at the Kentucky School.
