Dad recently read me a speech, hoping to satisfy my endless search for answers—answers to everything. Ever since I was very young, I've asked countless times “What should I do?”, trying to avoid making mistakes. Maybe I feared to take my first baby step on my own I think.
During my middle school years, I changed. It was when I decided to try for the lead in Beauty and the Beast without asking Dad for advice. I didn't mind that I would have to memorize lines and movements, and I would take the chance that I might fail.
On the day of the audition(试镜), I kept telling myself, “If you think you can't do it the right way, just don't go. ” My heart was pounding; my hands were shaking so badly that I wasn't certain whether people would hear me.
But something happened. When I opened my mouth, I found the sound was loud, powerful and sweet! And I even reached the high notes that I'd never reached! It was fantastic! I was trying bravely even though I might fail. But I didn't. That audition wasn't the end of the trap that kept me from trying, but it was definitely an important part of the process of growing.
That day, I realized that if I want to live my life to the fullest, I have to push myself. Because my parents, friends and teachers don't always have the answer to “What should I do?”.
Now, I do take these chances, with baby steps, every day, like voicing my opinions in class discussions, riding my horse over a threefoot jump…
“Life is learning to deal with Plan B,” Dad stated (陈述) in his speech. But I now know Plan A I make for my life will become easier and easier with every chance I take.
5. When the writer was young, she always asked for help because ____.

B. Keep searching for answers.
C. Plan B is always much easier than Plan A.
D. Try things bravely and never fear to make mistakes.
8. What is the best title of the passage?
A. Nothing is impossible B. The process of growing
C. Taking every chance D. An unexpected audition

Paragraphica is an AI camera that was invented by Bjorn Karmann. It has no lens (镜头) to take in light and take a picture. It uses information about what your location looks like, and uses AI to create a picture that is something like what you're seeing.
How does Paragraphica do it? First, it collects information about the camera's location using three different APIs. The information includes things like the time of day, the weather, the address and more. Then, it creates a paragraph that describes what the camera should be seeing according to the information. Finally, it uses a texttoimage conversion program to create a picture. When all of the information is ready, you “point and shoot” and a picture appears on the camera's screen.
You might wonder, “If it can't see anything, how does AI know what a place looks like?” Actually, AI works by “learning” from information collected and recorded by humans. It then uses the information to perform a task (任务). In the case of this camera, humans have collected billions of pieces of information on what certain weather looks like, what grassland looks like, or what a crowded street in Western Europe looks like. Paragraphica collects all the information to create a picture of a certain place at a certain moment. It's not accurate and it's not meant to be. It's just an idea of how it probably looks according to the information.
Since Paragraphica is so convenient, will it take the place of traditional cameras? “Paragraphica is an art project. It won't make a product or challenge photography,” Karmann said. “I just want to call people's attention to AI's influence on our lives. ”
9. What is special about Paragraphica?
A. It is the first camera to use AI.
B. It has a special lens to take in light.
C. It can take pictures of special scenes.
D. It takes pictures without seeing anything.
10. What can we learn from Paragraph 2?
A. What Paragraphica looks like.
B. When Paragraphica was invented.
C. What information Paragraphica collects.
D. How soon Paragraphica can create a picture.
11. The underlined word “accurate” probably means “____”.
A. quite difficult B. almost ready
C. exactly correct D. very convenient
12. What is the writer's purpose in writing the passage?
A. To introduce a new and creative app.
B. To call on people to see the world in a new way.
C. To show us the influence of AI technology.
D. To teach us how to take amazing pictures.
D
What comes to mind when you think of archaeologists (考古学家)? Are they as cool as the characters in some movies? Let's discover the world of archaeologists.
①Historical treasures are often hidden underground. To find the proper place for digging, archaeologists do surveys to search for signs of ancient sites (遗址). These signs may be things like broken pieces of ancient tools. It's hard work. They have to walk across the field in all kinds of weather. Besides, it requires much experience and professional knowledge to tell an ordinary rock from a stone tool.
②Archaeologists spend a lot of time in the lab studying the discoveries. Luckily, they are now closer to answering those mysteries than ever with the help of modern technology. The first thing they need to do is to find out the age of the things discovered. They also examine bones of humans or animals to find out the cause of their death and what they ate during their lifetime.
③Ancient objects can be damaged (损坏) in different ways. For example, bowls and cups are often in pieces, and metal tools are usually covered with rust. Before repairing these objects, archaeologists use Xrays to look for damage. If the rust is harmful, they need to make it disappear and repair the object with something special. In this process, they have to be very patient and careful so as not to damage the value of the object.
Though the job can be physically tiring or requires working long hours in the lab, most archaeologists are proud of their work. It's their hard work that has brought the lost treasures back to life.
13. The writer introduces the topic by____.
A. listing facts B. asking questions
C. giving examples D. offering ideas
14. According to the passage,____helps archaeologists better answer the mysteries.
A. physical health B. perfect weather
C. modern technology D. common knowledge
15. Match the sentence with each paragraph.
a. Studying the discoveries. b. Asking questions.
c. Repairing and cleaning. d. Finding places.
A. ①a; ②b; ③c B. ①d; ②a; ③b
C. ①b; ②a; ③c D. ①d; ②a; ③c
16. The structure of the passage is ____.
(①=Paragraph 1,②=Paragraph 2,…)
