That’s the question that changed my life forever. ‎ At the age of 19, I became a massage therapist(治疗师). For the first time in my life, I felt free, independent and completely in control of my life. That is, until my life took a detour. I was diagnosed with bacterial meningitis. Over the course of two months, I lost my spleen（脾） , my kidneys , and both of my legs below the knees. ‎ One day, I went home. I crawled into bed and this is what my life looked like for the next few months: me passed out, escaping from reality, with my legs resting by my side. I was completely physically and emotionally broken. But I knew that in order to move forward, I had to let go of the old Amy and learn to embrace the new Amy. And that is when I began to realize that I didn’t have to be small any more. I could be as tall as I wanted or as short as I wanted depending on whom I was dating. And if I snowboard again, my feet aren’t going to get cold. And the best of all, I thought, I can make my feet the size of all the shoes that are on the sales shelf. And I did!‎ I started snowboarding. Then I went back to work. And then I co-founded a non-profit organization for physical disabilities so that they could get involved in action ‎ sports. And just this past February, I won two World Cup gold medals, making me the highest-ranked adaptive female snowboarder in the world.‎ Eleven years ago, when I lost my legs, I had no idea what to expect. But if you ask me today, if I would ever want to change my situation, I would have to say no, because my legs haven’t disabled me. They’ve forced me to rely on my imagination and to believe in possibilities, and that’s why I believe that our imaginations can be used as tools for breaking through borders, because in our minds, we can do anything and we can be anything. It’s belief in those dreams and facing our fears directly that allow us to live our lives beyond our limits.‎ ‎1. What can we learn from the underlined sentence in Paragraph3?‎ A. The author no longer wanted to make friends with Amy.‎ B. The author realized she had to learn to accept a new “herself” gladly.‎ C. The author wanted a new friend in her new life eagerly.‎ D. The author felt hard to choose between the old Amy and the new Amy.‎ ‎2. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?‎ A. The author didn’t like her job as a massage therapist.‎ B. The author is still very sensitive to her disabilities.‎ C. The author has learnt to see her disabilities as blessings.‎ D. The author hopes to return to her old life.‎ ‎3. What message does the author want to convey with her speech?‎ A. Roman is not built in one day.‎ B. Failure is the mother of success C. Imagination is more important than knowledge.‎ D. It is not what happens to you but how you respond that counts.‎ ‎4.The tone of the passage is best described as _______________.‎ A. proud but stubborn B. interesting but regretful C. optimistic and inspiring D. pessimistic and doubtful ‎ B Over the past five years researchers in artificial intelligence have become the rock stars of the technology world. A branch of AI known as deep learning, which uses ‎ neural(神经的) networks to scan through large volumes of data looking for patterns, has proven so useful that skilled professionals can earn high six-figure salaries to build software for Amazon, Apple, Facebook and Google.‎ The standard route into these jobs has been a PhD in computer science from one of America’s top universities. Earning one takes years and requires a personality suited to academia, which is rare among more normal folk.‎ That is changing.‎ Last month fast.ai, a non-profit education organization based in San Francisco, kicked off the third year of its course in deep learning. Since its foundation it has attracted more than 100,000 students around the globe from India to Nigeria. The course and others like it, come with a simple idea: there is no need to spend years obtaining a PhD in order to practise deep learning. Creating software that learns can be taught as a craft, not as a high intellectual pursuit to be undertaken only in an ivory tower. Fast.ai’s course can be completed in just seven weeks.‎ To make it accessible to anyone who wants to learn how to build AI software is the aim of Jeremy Howard, who founded fast.ai with Rachel Thomas, a mathematician. He says school mathematics is sufficient. “No. Greek. Letters,” Mr. Howard says slowly and clearly, hitting the table with his fist for the punctuation marks.‎ Some experts worry that this will serve only to create a flood of unreliable AI systems which will be useless at best and dangerous at worst. In the earliest days of the Internet, only a selected few nerds, namely computerholics with specific skills, could build applications. Not many people used them. Then the invention of the World Wide Web led to an explosion of web pages, both good and bad. But it was only by opening up to all that the Internet gave birth to online shopping, instant global communications and search. If Mr. Howard and others have their way, making the development of AI software easier will bring about a new crop of fruit of a different kind.‎ ‎5. What can we learn about deep learning?‎ A. It replaces artificial intelligence. B. It attracts rock stars to practice.‎ C. It scans patterns for large companies. D. It helps technicians to create software.‎ ‎6. Fast.ai is an organization that __________________.‎ A. ensures one to obtain a PhD B. teaches craft in ivory tower C. offers a course in deep learning D. requires weeks to apply ‎7. The underlined words “No. Greek. Letters” in Paragraph 5 means doing fast.ai course is _______.‎ A. easy B. difficult C. interesting D. boring ‎8. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that _______.‎ A. it is quite reliable for anyone to grasp artificial intelligence B. the Internet has brought forth a flood of useless AI systems C. opening up to all leads to instant global search and online shopping D. simplifying software development may result in unexpected outcomes C While small may be beautiful, tall is just plain uncomfortable it seems, particularly when it comes to staying in hotels and eating in restaurants.‎ The Tall Persons Club Great Britain (TPCGB), which was formed six months ago to campaign for the needs of the tall, has turned its attention to hotels and restaurants beds that are too small, shower heads that are too low, and restaurant tables with hardly any leg-room all make life difficult for those of above average height, it says.‎ But it is not just the extra-tall whose needs are not being met. The average height of the population has been increasing yet the standard size of beds, doorways, and chairs has remained unchanged.‎ ‎“The bedding industry says a bed should be six inches larger than the person using it, so even a king-size bed at 6′6″(6 feet and 6 inches) is falling short for 25% of men, while the standard 6′3″ bed caters for (满足要求) less than half of the male population.” said TPCGB president Phil Heinricy, “Seven-foot beds would work fine.”‎ Similarly, restaurant tables can cause no end of problems. Small tables, which mean the long-legged have to sit a foot or so away from them, are enough to make tall customers go elsewhere.‎ Some have already taken note, however. At Queens Moat Houses′ Caledoman Hotel in Edinburgh, 6′6″beds are now put in as standard after requests for longer beds ‎ from taller visitors, particularly Americans.‎ ‎9. What is the purpose of the TPCGB campaign?‎ ‎ A. To draw public attention to the needs of the tall. ‎ ‎ B. To rebuild hotels and restaurants.‎ ‎ C. To provide better services.‎ ‎ D. To attract more people to become its members.‎ ‎10. Which of the following might be a bed of proper length according to Phil Heinricy?‎ ‎ A. 7′2″. B. 6′3″ C. 6′6″ D. 7′‎ ‎11.What may happen to restaurants with small tables?‎ ‎ A. They have to find easy chairs to match the tables. ‎ ‎ B. They may start businesses elsewhere.‎ ‎ C. They may lose some customers. ‎ ‎ D. They have to provide enough space for the long-legged.‎ ‎12. What change has already been made in a hotel in Edinburgh?‎ ‎ A. Tall people pay more for larger beds. ‎ ‎ B. Guest rooms are standardized.‎ ‎ C. Special rooms are kept for Americans. ‎ ‎ D. 6′6″beds have taken the place of 6′3″ beds.‎ D Once when I was facing a decision that involved high risk, I went to a friend. He looked at me for a moment, and then wrote a sentence containing the best advice I’ve ever had: Be bold and brave — and mighty (强大的) forces will come to your aid.‎ Those words made me see clearly that when I had fallen short in the past, it was seldom because I had tried and failed. It was usually because I had let fear of failure stop me from trying at all. On the other hand, whenever I had plunged into deep water, forced by courage or circumstance, I had always been able to swim until I got my feet on the ground again.‎ Boldness means a decision to bite off more than you can eat. And there is nothing mysterious about the mighty forces. They are potential powers we possess: energy, skill, sound judgment, creative ideas — even physical strength greater than most of us realize.‎ ‎ Admittedly, those mighty forces are spiritual ones. But they are more important than physical ones. A college classmate of mine, Tim, was an excellent football player, even though he weighed much less than the average player. “In one game I suddenly found myself confronting a huge player, who had nothing but me between him and our goal line,” said Tim. “I was so frightened that I closed my eyes and desperately threw myself at that guy like a bullet — and stopped him cold.”‎ ‎ Boldness — a willingness to extend yourself to the extreme—is not one that can be acquired overnight. But it can be taught to children and developed in adults. Confidence builds up. Surely, there will be setbacks (挫折) and disappointments in life; boldness in itself is no guarantee of success. But the person who tries to do something and fails is a lot better off than the person who tries to do nothing and succeeds.‎ ‎ So, always try to live a little bit beyond your abilities—and you’ll find your abilities are greater than you ever dreamed.‎ ‎13. What is the implied meaning of the underlined part?‎ A. Swallow more than you can digest.‎ B. Learn to make creative decisions.‎ C. Develop more mysterious powers.‎ D. Act slightly above your abilities.‎ ‎14. What can be learned from Paragraph 5?‎ ‎ A. Confidence grows more rapidly in adults.‎ B. Boldness can be gained little by little.‎ C. Repeated failure creates a better life.‎ D. Trying without success is meaningless.‎ ‎15. What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage?‎ A. To tell people the ways to guarantee success.‎ B. To advise people to build up physical power.‎ C. To encourage people to be courageous.‎ D. To recommend people to develop more abilities.‎ 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，选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ We are all called upon to make a speech at some point in life, but most of us don’t do a very good job. 16_________ . ‎ So, you have to give a speech—and you are terrified. You get nervous, you forget what you want to say, you stumble（结结巴巴） over words, you talk too long, and you bore your audience. ‎ Later you think, “Thank Goodness, it’s over. I’m just not good at public speaking. I hope I never have to do that again.” ‎ Cheep up! 17_________ . Here are some simple steps to take the pain out of speech making. Ask yourself the purpose of your speech. What is the occasion? Why are you speaking? Then, gather as many facts as you can on your subject. Spend plenty of your time doing your research. Then spend plenty of your time organizing your material so that your speech is clear and easy to follow. Use as many examples as possible, and use pictures, charts, and graphs if they help you make your points more clearly. 18_________ . Don’t talk over their heads, and don’t talk down to them. Treat your audience with respect. They will appreciate your thoughtfulness. ‎ Just remember: Be prepared. Know your subject, your audience, and the occasion. Be brief. 19_________ . And be yourself. Let your personality come through so that you make person-to-person contact with your audience. ‎ If you follow these simple steps, you will see that you don’t have to be afraid of public speaking. In fact, you may find the experience so enjoyable that you volunteer to make more speeches! You’re not convinced yet? 20_________ . ‎ A. It doesn’t have to be that bad. ‎ B. Take several deep breaths before your speech. ‎ C. This article gives some advice on how to give a good speech. ‎ D. Say what you have to say and then stop. ‎ E. Don’t say what you aren’t familiar with. ‎ F. Never forget your audience. ‎ G. Give it a try and see what happens. ‎ 第二部分 完型填空 （共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ One night, when I was eight, my mother gently asked me a question I would never forget. “Sweetie, my company wants to 21 me but needs me to work in Brazil.
