One day, while she was walking in a garden, she noticed a small butterfly caught in a thorn bush (荆棘丛). The more the butterfly tried to free itself, the deeper the thorn cut into its body. The girl carefully helped the butterfly out. Instead of flying away, the little butterfly changed into a beautiful fairy (仙女). “For your wonderful kindness,” said the fairy. “I will grant (保证) you any wish you like.” The little girl thought for a while and replied, “I want to be happy!” “Very well!” The fairy leaned toward her and whispered in her ear. Then the good fairy disappeared. As the little girl grew up, she stayed happy. Everyone asked her the secret of her happiness. She would only smile and answer, “the secret of happiness is that I listened to a good fairy when I was a little girl.” When she was very old and on her death bed, her neighbors were afraid that her secret of happiness would die with her. They begged, “tell us what the good fairy said.” The lovely old woman simply smiled and said, “she told me that everyone, no matter how secure (安稳的) they seemed, how old or young, how rich or poor, had need of me.” 5.

This is caused by greenhouse gas emissions (温室气体排放) from human activities, reported China Daily. This summer, big storms hit areas of Europe. At least 13 people died in Austria, France and Italy by Aug 19. In Portugal and Spain, huge wildfires have forced thousands to leave their homes. In the US, more than 80 percent of the west is in drought. Three-quarters of farmers in these areas have stopped growing food. In China, the heat has hit the south since June. The duration (持续时间) of this year’s high temperatures will break the 62-day record in 2013, becoming the longest heat wave in 61 years. Extreme weather events are not only killing people and destroying homes, they also drive more people into hunger. Millions in East Africa have little food to eat today, according to the World Health Organization. For four years, there wasn’t enough rain during its rainy seasons and the land was too dry to grow food. Extreme weather has also made 218 of the known 375 infectious diseases (传染病) more serious, including malaria (疟疾), cholera (霍乱) and anthrax (炭疽), according to the journal Nature Climate Change. As viruses try to adapt to (适应) higher temperatures, they become stronger and harder to kill. 9. What do we know from the China Daily report? A. The world sees less extreme weather than before. B. Most extreme weather conditions happen in summer. C. Human activity has caused more extreme weather. D. There is no way to stop extreme weather from happening. 10. Why are millions of people suffering from hunger in East Africa? A. Because wildfires destroyed their crops. B. Because it didn’t rain at all this year. C. Because the land is too dry to farm. D. Because extreme weather killed many farmers. 11. How does extreme weather make diseases more serious? A. It weakens people’s health. B. It causes viruses to become stronger. C. It offers more food to viruses and serious diseases. D. It increases the number of infectious diseases. 12. What might the writer write after the last paragraph? A. How extreme weather happens. B. What we can do to have less extreme weather. C. The countries that are not affected by extreme weather. D. The groups who get benefits from extreme weather. D When we were kids, learning polite expressions was important. Our parents taught us to say “thank you” when we received help, and to say “please” when we needed a favor from others. But would you say “thank you” and “please” to a digital (数码的) assistant? Recently, Amazon announced it had added new features (特点) to its smart assistant Alexa. One of the developments — a politeness feature — draws some parents’ attention. Their children keep forgetting their manners because they have become used to shouting orders at their Echo, a smart speaker similar to Alexa. When kids ask Alexa to solve a math problem using the word “please” —such as “Alexa, please tell me what 5 plus 7 is” —Alexa will not only give the correct answer, but also give the following response “Thanks for asking so nicely”. However, some people believe kids shouldn’t thank a machine, as children can tell the difference between machines and humans. But then again, we don’t usually talk aloud to a fridge or an ATM, either. “I ask my phone assistant to turn on the lights or set an alarm in the same natural language that I use in day-to-day life,” commentator (评论员) Chaim Gartenberg wrote on the website. “It doesn’t matter whether an Echo can hear or understand it — it matters that you say it.” With the increasing use of AI (artificial intelligence), forming the habit of being polite in everyday life is becoming even more important, as the British research company ChildWise found. In January, it published a report warning that people who become used to cutting courtesies (礼貌) and giving orders to digital assistants might become rude when dealing with others. Traditionally, we can tell how nice people are by watching how they interact with a waiter. In a similar way, even if the AI or digital assistant doesn’t care about it, other people around us are going to experience how we interact with it. 13. What does the underlined word “announced” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. said B. decided C. agreed D. ordered 英语试卷 第3页 （共8页） 英语试卷 第4页 （共8页） 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 14. According to Paragraphs 2 and 3, what’s TRUE about the new Alexa? A. It only follows children’s orders. B. A new speaker Echo is added to it. C. It can help children learn good manners. D. It will refuse to answer if it’s treated rudely. 15. What’s the problem with some children nowadays? A. They keep shouting orders at their parents. B. They forget their manners when talking to a smart assistant. C. They can’t solve simple math problems. D. They can’t tell the difference between machines and humans. 16. What does Chaim Gartenberg probably think of the politeness feature in Alexa? A. It’s unsafe. B. It’s popular. C. It’s inconvenient. D. It’s helpful. 第二节 阅读短文，从方框中所给的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，其中有一个多余的选项。 Suppose you’re in London and trying to find the bus to take you to Hyde Park. This should be easy.
