【題目】 Imagine if your journey to work was from your bedroom to your living room. More and more people in the UK are doing their jobs at home.

David works as an engineer in a London factory. He's been an engineer since he left school-but he is feeling less hopeful about his future. Heavy industry in the UK has almost disappeared. David also gets tired of his long train journey to work. It can take up to two hours a day.

David's wife, Helen, seldom travels to work at all. She is a writer. After she sent her children to school, she starts to work in front of her computer screen. When she finishes her books, she sends them to her director by email.

Most people in the UK, like David come(經(jīng)常往返）to work, but an increasing number of people work as teleworkers.

So what are the advantages? Tele-workers can save hours by not traveling to work. "I hated my journey to work," says Helen. "Now all I have to do is to walk downstairs!" Many teleworkers say that working from home is much less stressful-good news for both workers and managers.

So is telecommuting( 遠(yuǎn)程辦公）for everyone? "It, hard at first ",says Helen," because our living mom is also my office, and disciplining yourself(自我控制）to work from home can be difficult.

But overall, I love it.

【1】More and more people in the UK, doing their jobs at home.

【2】David is also interested in his long train journey to work

【3】When David's wife finishes her books, she sends them electronically to her director.

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.

【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 .

【5】The author of this article is probably

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

C.a sports reporterD.a famous writer
