21、Nearly a week after Stephen Hawking passed away, people even in remote parts of the globe showed up in memory of this great British scientist. Mr. Hawking, best known for his study of black holes, is respected for not allowing a physical disability to limit his mental brilliance. Yet in a sign of the state of humanity, he is also being held up as a hero for humble and intense curiosity, not just for the truth about the physical universe but for universal truths.
In 2017, a Texas-based data company called Global Language Monitor found “truth” to be the “word of the year” among English-speakers. A debate over the nature of truth “is currently quite fashionable,” the company’s analysis found. Besides, two runner-up words were “narrative” and “post-truth.” And in a January report about “truth decay (衰败)”, the RAND Corporation, a research organization, found the loss of trust in key institutions has left “people searching for new sources of credible and objective information.”
In countries with a free press, journalists have gathered to fact-check comments by politicians. Harvard University now offers a free one-hour online course to help people “better distinguish good information from bad” in hopes that they will not “share the bad.” Tech giants such as Facebook are being forced to fix truth filters (过滤器) on their online platforms. A report this month for the European Commission says that the online sites “are becoming increasingly important as both enablers and gatekeepers of information.” They should reveal how their algorithms (计算程序) select news items, the report stated.
Many nations have come to see honest information as strategic wealth. “Truth matters”, says Mike Pompeo, Secretary of State. “Relying on Twitter feeds and news reports will prove totally insufficient when policymakers have to make some of the most difficult decisions they face.”
Giants of scientific discovery such as Hawking have long been role models for seeking truth beyond their profession. “In recent years I realized that Hawking has become a symbol for mankind,” says physicist Bobby Acharya. “People looked to him for reason and truth.” The tribute rolling in for the man is actually a widespread desire for light over darkness, for truth over all the “black holes” of misinformation campaigns.
【1】What does the “word of the year” in 2017 suggest?
A．A large number of people want solid facts.
B．Stephen Hawking is a great British scientist.
C．People are uninterested about the nature of truth.
D．Global Language Monitor is a popular company.
【2】What are tech giants being required to do?
A．Provide users with valuable information.

D．Cooperate with the European Commission.
【3】The underlined word “tribute” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to ______.
A．challenge
B．admiration
C．opportunity
D．unfairness
【4】What would be the best title for this text?
A．Gatekeepers of information
B．Giants of scientific discovery
C．The impact the “word of the year” has
D．The light Stephen Hawking leaves behind
22、 A special copyright case has recently drawn attention because it is related to artificial intelligence(AI). A court in Shenzhen ruled that a news report written by Tencent’s AI enjoys copyright protection.【1】
This is the first case in China that has provided copyright protection to work done by AI. But what does it indicate?【2】
Probably not. AI is not yet able to write creative stories. The news report mentioned above is mainly about data.【3】it is often used to write financial reports. Some newspapers also use AI to report on stories about natural disasters, which mainly require basic facts such as “where” and “when”. As Forbes wrote, instead of losing their jobs, journalists can make their work more efficient by using AI so that they can focus more on storytelling and less on numbers.
【4】For example, Wayne McGregor, a British choreographer（编舞）, is famous for using AI to create new dances. For him, AI is a powerful tool that can help choreographers break out of common movements. McGregor is not worried that AI might replace human artists. “AI can’t judge the quality of the choreography,” he said.
“It’s time to stop worrying about if AI can be creative,” according to Forbes.【5】
A.As artificial intelligence progresses,
B.AI is actually being helpful in many creative fields.
C.Instead, we should focus on how humans and AI can work together in ways that we have never dreamed of before.
D.A website broke the law because it used the article without permission.
E.Since AI is good at processing data,
F.It’s time to think about how to prevent AI from replacing humans.
G.Will AI take the place of creative workers in the future?
23、Tips for Time Management
Often, the biggest challenge students face is juggling competing demands for time. It is especially important to be realistic about all these demands. 【1】
Treat School Like a Job.
If students are registered full-time, school is their primary job. 【2】 This still leaves 16 hours on each of those days for sleep, sports, clubs, cultural, social, and other activities.
Spend Time on Each Course Every Week.
Students should prepare for and attend all their classes. 【3】 They should work on their courses regularly, at a time when their concentration is best and in a place where they won't be distracted.
【4】
Successful students often develop a plan to increase the likelihood that their goals are realized. A goal in itself is not sufficient. Some tools available at the Student Development Center to help students plan include: * Term calendars; Weekly planners.

Students need to take responsibility for their learning but this does not mean doing everything on their own.【5】 They should also learn about the different student services and make good use of them.

B.Time Management Self-Assessment.
C.If you are struggling with time managing, read on.

G.Keep in mind that a 40-hour workweek could take the form of five, eight-hour clays.
24、Many years ago there was an old man who had four sons. He wanted his sons to learn not to judge things too quickly. So he told them to go and look at a pear tree. It was far away from his home. The first son went in winter, the second in spring, the third in summer and the youngest son in autumn.
When the sons came back, the old man asked them to say what they had seen. The first son complained the tree was ugly. The second son said the tree was covered with buds and full of hope. The third son said the tree was full of green leaves. They looked so beautiful and it was the most wonderful thing he had ever seen. The youngest son said that the tree was bowed (弯) down with heavy fruits. It was full of life and fulfillment (收获).
The man explained that all of his sons were right, but each of them had seen just one season of the tree.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Sam was stubborn and liked to do things his own way. He liked to eat his meals one food at a time-no mixing. He wore his purple socks on Tuesdays and his lucky sweater whenever he had a spelling test.
Oscar was Sam’s father. He liked to do things, his own way, too. While the neighbors mowed(割草) their lawns, Oscar-grew-a wildflower-meadow(草场). He got a haircut on the first Thursday of every month, whether he needed it or not. And he wore his lucky sweater to every one of Sam’s ball games.
Sam thought his dad was the smartest man on earth, and his dad thought Sam was the finest son a man could ever want... until the day they decided to build the tree house.
Sam had a picture in his mind.
Oscar had a picture in his mind.
The pictures didn’t match.
At the store, they disagreed on how much wood to buy. They argued about how long the nails should be. They quarreled about what color paint they should pick. And when they got home, they argued and ARGUED and ARGUED about which tree was best.
Sam wanted the maple. He wouldn’t give in.
His dad wanted the hackberry. He wouldn’t give in, either.
The boards and the nails and the paint sat in the backyard. They sat there in the hot, summer sunshine. They sat there when the autumn leaves fell. They sat under a blanket of snow all winter.
“Sam is so stubborn,” Oscar complained to Sam’s mother, “If he’d listen to reason, I could show him why the hackberry is best.“
“Why won’t Dad listen to my ideas?” Sam asked his mom.
Sam’s mother tried talking to Sam’s dad. He wouldn’t listen.
She tried talking to Sam. It did no good.
Spring came. The wildflower meadow began to bloom, and baseball practice started. Soon it was Mother's Day, and Sam made his mother a clay pot and filled it with flowers. She loved it.
