22、Google, hoping to put down a protest by employees upset that the technology they were working on could be used for deadly purposes, will not renew a contract with the Pentagon(五角大楼) for artificial intelligence work when a current deal expires next year.

Diane Greene, who is the head of the Google Cloud business that won a contract with the Pentagon’s Project Maven, said during a weekly meeting with employees Friday that the company was backing away from its AI work with the military, according to a person familiar with the discussion but not permitted to speak publicly about it.

Google’s work with the Defense Department on the Maven program, which uses artificial intelligence to interpret video images and could be used to improve the targeting of drone strikes, riled the internet giant’s workforce.

About 4,000 Google employees signed a petition（请愿书） demanding “a clear policy stating that neither Google nor its contractors will ever build warfare technology,” and a handful of employees resigned in protest.

The money for Google in the Project Maven contract was never large by the standards of a company with profit of $110 billion last year — $9 million, one official told employees, or a possible $15 million over 18 months, according to an internal email.

But some company officials saw it as an opening to much greater revenue down the road. In an email last September, a Google official in Washington told colleagues she expected Maven to grow into a $250 million-a-year project, and eventually it could have helped open the door to contracts worth far more.

【1】What does the underlined word “renew” most probably mean?

A. fix   B. sign   C. recover   D. extend the period of time

【2】Why did Google employees go on rebellions protest?

A. Because they were not paid enough.

B. Because they thought Google should go on cooperate with Pentagon.

C. Because they thought the company cheated them about the Maven Project.

D. Because they thought Google should end the cooperation on a warfare technology with Pentagon.

【3】The last two paragraphs are aimed to _______________________.

A. show what else Google could do to make money

B. show what consisted of the revenue of Google last year

C. show what big loss of revenue Google’s decision of giving up the cooperation with Pentagon will cause

D. show the money that the Project Maven contract Google brought last year was not large by the standards of a company with revenue of $110 billion last year

【4】What can we infer from the article?

A. Google chose humanity over profit.

B. The employees’ rebellions didn’t work at all.

C. Pentagon will definitely give Google a big lesson.

D. Google is a company that is not qualified enough in the field of AI technology.

23、   China was a latecomer to space exploration, and in the movies, it has been a latecomer to science fiction. That has probably changed.

The country’s first blockbuster (大片) set in space, The Wandering Earth, opened in February amid high expectations that it would represent the beginning of a new era in Chinese filmmaking. Shown in 3D, The Wandering Earth takes place in a distant future in which the sun is about to expand into a red giant and devour (吞食) the Earth. The approaching danger forces the world’s engineers to work out a plan to move the planet to a new solar system. Things go very badly when Earth has to pass Jupiter, setting off a desperate fight to save humanity from being totally destroyed.

The Wandering Earth is adapted from a short novel by Liu Cixin, the writer who has led a renaissance in science fiction in China. His works are great epics (史诗) and deeply researched. Translating them into movies would challenge any filmmaker, as the director of The Wandering Earth, Guo Fan, admitted.

Guo noted that Chinese Studios had been cautious about investing the resources required to make convincing science-fiction. The budget for The Wandering Earth reportedly reached nearly $50 million— modest by Hollywood standards but still significant in China. “I really hope this movie will not lose money at least,” said Guo before the movie’s release. The popularity of Liu’s novels could help. So could the fact that China has reached a milestone in space: the landing of a probe (航天探测器) on the far side of the moon in January. Although decades behind Russia and the United States, China has now put astronauts in orbit and has ambitious plans to join---or even lead---a new age of space exploration.

Unlike some typical Hollywood movies, The Wandering Earth does not feature a world-saving hero. The fight to save Earth is fought instead by a group. A vision of international cooperation to cope with the threats facing the Earth is a theme that runs deeply through Liu’s fiction.

【1】What message does the success of the movie The Wandering Earth convey?

A．It lives up to the audience’s high expectations.

B．It marks a new height of the Chinese filmmaking industry.

C．It displays China’s ambition to lead space exploration.

D．It sets new and higher standards for Chinese movies.

【2】The Wandering Earth achieved great success because of ________.

A．giant investment of Chinese studios

B．the high reputation of the film director

C．China’s advances in space exploration

D．the deep research and world-saving theme

【3】What might be the best title of the passage?

A．A New Era for Space Exploration Begins

B．A Film Based on Liu Cixin’s Novel Enjoys Great Popularity

C．China’s First Space-Themed Film Features Cooperation

D．China’s Film Industry Eventually Joins the Space Race

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。

Thomas Mayfield had a major problem to solve in his fifth-grade classroom. “I’m not good at adding. I don’t know how to regroup or borrow. I’m not good at subtracting (减法). Or I don’t know my facts yet, and I’m a fifth-grader,” Mayfield’s students used to tell him. The 42-year-old math teacher from Fort Worth, Texas, took their frustrations to heart. Mayfield knew it was important to try something new, especially because most of his students were also struggling outside of the classroom. Single-parent homes, low financial stability... a lot of that was going on.

Mayfield teaches at Title I school, where at least 40% of students are economically disadvantaged. He grew up going to these types of schools in Fort Worth, too. As a child, he loved to go to school, but always had great difficulty with the study of math. Besides, due to the fact that he had to take much time to help deal with the family’s financial situation, it seemed harder for him and children in similar situations to learn some subjects, especially math, well.

To reach students in a way that was familiar and inviting, he brought rap music to the classroom. He even made some videos, in one of which he played an instrumental beat to Luniz’s song I Got 5 on It. This got his students excited, even crazy. Then they started to rap about decimal point (小数点). “Now let’s break this thing down,” rapped Mayfield and students in the video.

Let’s start with the tenths

Like a dime (1角硬币) to a dollar, there’s 1 out of 10

Then we move to the hundredths, one part out of many

One out of 100, we call that a penny

……

They rapped and made popular music videos with thousands of views about math, and motivational songs like passing the big end-of-year exam.

注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；

2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

Learning math through music has been a successful strategy.__________________________
