Throughout her early school years, her parents were supportive of her talents and abilities, and Jemison spent a lot of time in her school library reading books about science, especially astronomy. During her time at Morgan Park High School, she became convinced she wanted to make a career in biomedical engineering, and when she graduated in 1973,‎ ‎ she entered Stanford University.‎ ‎ In 1977 at Stanford, Jemison received both a Bachelor of Science in chemical engineering and a Bachelor in African and Afro-American Studies. As she had been in high school Jemison was involved in after-class activities including dance and theater productions, and served as head of the Black Student Union. Upon graduation, she entered Cornell University Medical College to work toward a medical degree. When she obtained her doctor's degree in 1981, she interned(实习)at Los Angeles County University of Southern California Medical Center and later worked as a doctor. In 1985, she made a career change and decided to follow a dream she had had for a long time. In October of that year she applied for admission to NASA astronaut training program. The Space Shuttle Challenger Disaster of January 1986 put off the selection process, but when she reapplied a year later, Jemison was chosen from a field of about two thousand applicants.‎ ‎ When Jemison was chosen on June 4, 1987, she became the first African-American woman ever admitted into the astronaut training program. After more than a year of training, she became a specialist responsible for conducting scientific experiments on the space shuttle. On September 12, 1992, Jemison finally flew into space with six other astronauts aboard the Endeavour. During her trip in space, she conducted experiments on weightlessness and motion sickness on the crew and herself. Altogether, she spent slightly over 190 hours in space before returning to Earth on September 20. Following her historic flight, Jemison noted that society should recognize how much both women and members of other minority groups can contribute if given the opportunity.‎ ‎24. As a high school student, Jemison ______.‎ ‎ A. was encouraged to become an engineer B. became interested in science ‎ ‎ C. liked reading books on medicine best D. won little support from her parents ‎25. Which of the following is TRUE about Jemison in the 1980s?‎ ‎ A. She started to work as a doctor in 1985. ‎ ‎ B. She was first chosen to be an astronaut in 1986.‎ ‎ C. She was the first woman astronaut in the world.‎ ‎ D. She applied twice for the astronaut training program.‎ ‎26. During the Endeavour flight, Jemison ______.‎ ‎ A. was asked to do medical experiments B. traveled in space for about eight days ‎ C. caught a disease because of weightlessness D. worked together with four other astronauts ‎27. What's the main idea of this passage?‎ ‎ A. The first African-American woman's space dream came true.‎ ‎ B. An African-American woman's achievements.‎ ‎ C. A woman applied for admission to astronaut training program.‎ ‎ D. A woman orbited the earth.‎ C ‎ Caring for babies in extremely tight quarters of a plane while trying to avoid disturbing fellow passengers is a tall order in and of itself. Combine that with the fact that few aspects of air travel, with the exception of pre-boarding the plane, are designed for the comfort of parents traveling with children, and the whole experience seems understandably challenging. However, one stranger’s kind act showed how easy it is to make the situation far more pleasant for everyone.‎ On a Southwest Airlines flight earlier this month, a passenger sitting next to a pregnant mom traveling alone with her 20-month-old son offered to help comfort the child by walking the aisles of the plane. Another passenger who saw the act said she was moved to tears. " Her son was upset and hard to please. The man did not complain. Instead he just told her that he was a dad and wanted to help her so that she could rest," passenger Andrea Byrd wrote in a September 5th Facebook post, which was shared over 100,000 times.‎ In an interview with a newspaper, the mom, Monica Nelson, said that she could hardly believe it when her fellow passenger offered to help, but her heart was full of thanks because flying without her husband made her nervous.‎ Parents traveling with their kids are up against tough environment when they board an aircraft, but it takes very little for fellow passengers and flight crews to ever-so-slightly accommodate families flying together. I hope that all airlines will eventually offer flights similar to Jet Blue's "Fly-Babies" practice, in which passengers will be awarded discounted airfares with more babies crying onboard the plane. And at the same time, there's always chocolate. ‎ ‎28. What can be inferred from the first paragraph?‎ ‎ A. Flying with young children is difficult. B. Planes are designed to ‎ comfort children.‎ ‎ C. Disturbing others on board is unavoidable. D. Flying is a challenging experience to children. .‎ ‎29. Who offered to help Monica Nelson?‎ ‎ A. A passenger moved to tears. B. A man seated beside her.‎ ‎ C. A man tired of her son's crying. D. A man who happened to walk past her.‎ ‎30. How did the woman feel at first when offered help?‎ ‎ A. Moved but doubtful. B. Pleased and thankful.‎ ‎ C. Scared and nervous. D. Surprised but grateful.‎ ‎31. Which of the following may be one of Jet Blue's "Fly Babies" rules?‎ ‎ A. Babies can fly free of charge.‎ ‎ B. Babies can get chocolate at a discount.‎ ‎ C. Airfares change with the number of babies crying on board.‎ ‎ D. Passengers with babies are able to enjoy discounted airfares.‎ D As Artificial Intelligence (AI) becomes increasingly complicated, there are growing concerns that robots could become a threat. 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 complex 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 complicated moral machines, if we can find a way to set out human values as clear values.‎ 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 and they’ ve produced a system that will break some kind of taboo. ‎ One simple check 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 has the opportunity to stop, send out beeps (哔哔声音), and ask for directions from a human. If we humans aren't quite sure about a decision, we go and ask somebody else.‎ The most difficult step in programming values will be deciding exactly what we believe is moral, and how to create a set of moral 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 considered as 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 complicated.‎ ‎33. What does the underlined word in Para. 7 mean?‎ ‎ A. aggression. B. rudeness.‎ ‎ C. ignorance. D. forbiddance.‎ ‎34. How could robots learn human values according to the passage?‎ ‎ 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 properly brought-up human beings.‎ ‎35. What should a well-programmed robot do when facing an unusual situation?‎ ‎ A. Keep a distance from possible dangers.‎ ‎ B. Stop to seek advice from a human being.‎ ‎ C. Set off its built-in alarm system at once.‎ ‎ D. Do sufficient testing before taking action.‎ 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,井在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Does meeting new people make you nervous? If so, you are not alone. But making a good first impression isn't as hard as you might think. It just involves a few simple choices.‎ Look your best ‎36 But you don't need to look like a model to make a good impression. You just need to take care of yourself, Make sure your clothing is clean,not wrinkled and appropriate for the situation. 37 ‎ Stand tall The way you stand, sit and move tells others a lot about you. Standing up straight makes you look and feel confident. When you approach someone, make eye contact and smile to show you're friendly and interested. 38 ‎ Speak up Speak loudly and clearly enough so that people don’t have to struggle to hear you. If you don't know what to say, ask questions. 39 When people are talking, pay attention to what they're saying rather than planning what you’ll say next. And if you're not sure what they mean, ask!‎ Value people Most importantly, show people you care. Your concerns for them will be obvious if you smile and listen carefully. 40 Don't keep them waiting.
