He was alone a nd didn’t get on well with others. People always laughed at him. No one showed kindness to him.His only friend was a dog named Tig er. He gave his dog enough to eat and drink, but sometimes he was not polite to it. He didn’t know that an unkind word sometimes c ould cut one’s heart like a knife.One day as he walked down the s treet, a young lady was walking in front of him. Suddenly one of her bags dropped from her arms. As she stopped to pick it up, she dropped the other one. So he came to help her pick the bag up. “ Thank you, dear! You are a nice little boy!” she said kindly, smi ling.These were the first kind words he had ever heard. He watche d her until she went far away, and then he whistled to his dog an d went directly to the river nearby.“Thank you, dear! You are a n ice little boy!” he repeated the woman’s words excitedly. Then in a low voice he said them to his dog! Tiger raised its ears as if it understood.“Uum! Even a dog likes them!” he said. The boy tho ught and thought. Finally he looked at himself in the river. He s aw a clean nice boy. He was amazed. From then on, he had a new li fe.After telling this, the businessman stopped for a while, and t hen he said, “Ladies and gentlemen, this is the very place where that kind woman planted in me the first seed of kindness. All of us should learn about kindness. What a great power it has!”24.

We usually “tell” them to do things by using a mo use or keyboard. But what if we could just talk to them and tell them what to do?In the 1960s TV series Star Trek, spaceships coul d reply to human voice orders. In the film 2001: A Space Odyssey, HAL 9, 000 is a computer that humans can talk to. It can play ch ess with humans and fix their spaceship.This type of technology, which helps machines understand people speech and act as what peo ple say, is known as voice recognition (识别). Today, voice recogni tion is widely used in people’s daily life. Siri and Alexa, the v oice recognition software made by Apple and Amazon are two exampl es. You can ask them to do many things, from setting alarms and p laying music to placing online grocery orders and turning on hous ehold devices.One of the nice things about voice recognition is t hat it can be used when we’re on the go. When you’re driving a ca r or walking down the sidewalk, it is not convenient or even haza rdous to pick up your smartphone and type on the keyboard. With v oice recognition, you can focus on whatever you’re doing at the m oment while still finishing other tasks.Speech recognition can al so help people with hearing disabilities a lot. It can be used to “listen’’ to spoken words and turn them into text that deaf peop le can read. Advanced speech recognition software can even hear w ords spoken in one language and then translate it into another la nguage.As voice recognition software becomes more advanced, it wi ll be able to help us in even more ways. So far, most voice recog nition technology is not able to recognize specific (特定的) voices. That is to say, your voice “sounds” the same to the software as your friend’s voice. However, many companies are already working to develop voice recognition software that replies only to specif ic voices.27. According to the passage, voice recognition _______ _.A. came into service in the 1960sB. is usually used in high-tec h areasC. can understand and act what people sayD. could help peo ple send and fix the spaceship28. The word “hazardous” in paragra ph 4 probably means ________.A. comfortableB. nervousC. dangerous D. natural29. What can voice recognition do in the real world?A. Turn spoken words into text for the deaf.B. Recognize a certain v oice at certain time.C. Help the drivers to slow down their car s afely.D. Lead the blind people walk down the sidewalk.30. What’s the last paragraph mainly about?A. Why the voice sounds the same. B. Why the technology is important.C. What was found in the softw are.D. What else is needed to study.DI can just hear some of you saying, “I don’t care what other people think! I do whatever I wa nt!” There is a strong wish for independence (独立) in adolescence (青春期) and you say you only care about your own opinion. But don’t you really care what certain people think? Most teenagers have a circle of people who can influence them. They care very much wha t this circle of people think, especially about them.During adole scence, friendships with other teens become very important. They care about what other teens think because they want to be accepte d and they are afraid of other people think. Fear makes them care .Take leaders and followers as an example. Some teenagers are lea ders and some who are followers. You might think that teens leade rs don’t care what other people think, but that is not true. Afte r all, a leader really isn’t a leader unless other people follow them. Leaders care about what followers think because if they don ’t, those followers may leave and follow someone else. Teens who are followers care about what the leader thinks because they want to stay a part of the group.As we all know, it is hard to admit (承认) you care what other people think. This gives those other peo ple-whoever they are - power over you. You give them power to hav e a say in what you should or shouldn’t do, to make you feel good or bad about yourself So should you not care what anyone else th inks of you? No, I don’t think that’s possible. I think it is oka y to care what others think of you. The answer lies in caring mos t about what you think about yourself .There is a famous playwrig ht named William Shakespeare. In one of his plays, Hamlet, the ch aracter Hamlet said, “To thine own self be true.” In other words, whatever you do, always be true to yourself. This is one of the most important tasks you should have during adolescence.Along the way, you’ll care about what your friends, parents and teachers t hink. That’s fine, but use what they think to help you decide who it is you want to be. You need to keep the power to change who y ou are with you. To thine own self be true.31. From the passage, we can know that teenagers ________.A. value their friendship ver y muchB. have difficulties in making friendsC. are always deaf to others’ adviceD. keep themselves away from others32. According t o the passage, William Shakespeare may agree that ________.A. tee nage leaders should listen to the followersB. teenage followers m ust read the leaders’ mindC. teenagers should do what they think is rightD. teenagers can make friends whenever possible33. What’s the best title for the passage?A. Teens: Care More about OthersB . Teens: Go easy on yourselfC. Teens: Why Do I Want to Be Indepen dentD. Teens: Why Do I Care What Other People Think四、(共5分,每小题1分)阅 读短文,根据其内容回答问题。The Huge BaobabOne of the most amazing trees in the world is known as the baobab. This kind of tree mainly grows in South Africa and Australia.Sometimes it is hard to tell what the name of a tree is because they look like each other. But this is not a problem with the baobab. Its appearance is quite different, so people can’t mistake it for another tree. The baobab is very wide at the base, so people often take shelter under it. One Aust ralian baobab was so large that people were able to turn part of the tree into a small room. Prisoners were kept inside the tree r oom as a resting place when they were transported to the city. Th e tree itself was so strong and wide that it could hold a large g roup of people. The strongest tree in the world is over 1,835 yea rs old now.People also call it the “giving tree”. The tree’s frui t is very delicious and is a tasty treat that is eaten in many Af rican countries. The fruits have also been found to be very healt hy. They are full of vitamins and minerals. People make porridge and favor soft drinks from the fruit. Since the tree grows in dry environments, it has to store water. The tree soaks in water whe n it is wet. During dry seasons, the baobab tree can use the stor ed water. Some baobabs can store thousands of gallons of water. O f course, the baobabs also provide the people of sunny South Afri ca with some shade during hot African days.Sadly, in recent years , the baobab trees are dying because of climate change. Scientist s are trying hard to take action to protect them.34. Where does t he baobab tree mainly grow?______________________________________ ________35.
