B My daughter was being thrown out of the sixth grade. The teacher said she didn't have the intelligence.I got mad because I knew she was smart, just as my father had known I was smart when I was failing in school. We had her tested. I decided to get myself tested as well, and found that the troubles she was having were exactly what I had had— dyslexia. By then I was a successful television writer, and had won an EmmyAward for“The Rockford Files.” If I had known earlier that something beyond my control could explain why I was a low achiever, I may not have worked so hard in my late 20s and early 30s. I was writing and writing. I was working for no other reason than to hear people praise me, because I did badly in all my courses. I once asked a friend who had always gotten an A, “How long did you study for this?” He said, “I didn't.I just glanced at it.” So he must be smarter. Although I doubted What would happen to me when I was not good at anything I did become successful, and people now say to me, “So you' ve overcome dyslexia.” No. You don't overcome it; you learn to compensate(弥补) for it. Some easy things are very hard for me. Most people who go through college read twice as fast as I do. I avoid dialing a phone if I can, because Isometimes have to try three times to get the number right. In spite of my weaknesses I view dyslexia as a gift, not a curse. Many dyslexics are good at right-brain ， abstract thought, and that's what my kind of creative writing is. And I can write quickly, and can get up to 15pages a day. Writing is my strength. The real fear I have for dyslexic children is not they have to struggle in school, but that they will quit on themselves before they get out of school. Parents have to create victories for them, whether it's music, sports or art. You can make your dyslexic child able to say, “Yeah, reading is hard. But I have other things I can do.” 24. What's the reason why the writer decided to get himself tested as well? A. He accepted that his daughter was not smart. B. He had to take a regular medical examination. C. He didn't believe his daughter had the problem. D. He wanted to know if they had the same problem. 25. We can learn from the second paragraph that the writer . A. struggled and got better grades B. was praised for overcoming dyslexia C. didn't work hard when he was young D. was thankful not knowing of dyslexia earlier 26. The word dyslexic can be interpreted as . A. hearing disability B. low in intelligence C. disorder of reading D. mental illness 27. What can we learn from the story? A. God shuts one door but opens another. B. Clumsy birds have to start flying early. C. Never judge a person by his appearance. D. No one can make a good coat with bad cloth. C In the depths of the French Guianese rainforest, there still remain unusual groups of indigenous(土著的) people. Surprisingly, these people live largely by their own laws and their own social customs. And yet,people in this area are in fact French citizens because it has been a colony (殖民地) of the French Republic since 1946. In theory, they should live by the French law, which is often ignored or unknown, thus making them into an interesting area of“lawlessness” in the world. The lives of these people have finally been recorded thanks to the effects of a Frenchman from Paris called Gin. Gin spent five months in early 2015 exploring the most remote corners of this area, which sits on the edge of the Amazon rainforest, with half its population of only 250,000 living in its capital, Cayenne. “I have a special love for the French Guianese people. I have worked there on and off for almost ten years,” says Gin. “I' ve been able to keep firm friendships with them. Thus I have been allowed to gain access to their living environment. I don't see it as a lawless land. But rather I see it as an area of freedom.” “I wanted to show the audience a photographic record touching upon the uncivilized life,” continuesGin. “I prefer to work in black and white, which allows me to show different specific worlds more clearly.” His black-and-white pictures present a world almost lost in time. These pictures show people seemingly pushed into a world that they were unprepared for. These local citizens now have to balance their traditional self-supporting hunting lifestyle with the lifestyle offered by the modern French Republic, which brings with it not only necessary state welfare, but also alcoholism, betrayal and even suicide. 28. Why does the author feel surprised about the indigenous people in French Guiana? A. They seldom follow the French law. B. They often ignore the Guianese law. C. They are separated from the modern world. D. They are both Guianese and French citizens. 29. Gin introduced the special world of the indigenous Guianese as . A. a tour guide B. a geographer C. a film director D. a photographer 30. What is Gin's attitude towards the lives of the indigenous Guianese? A. Cautious. B. Doubtful. C. Uninterested. D. Appreciative. 31. What does the underlined word“it” in the last paragraph refer to? A. The modern French lifestyle. B. The self-supporting hunting. C. The uncivilized hunting. D. The French Republic. D The problem of robocall (自助语音电话) has gotten so bad that many people now refuse to pick up calls from numbers they don't know. By next year, half of the calls we receive will be scams (欺诈). We are finally waking up to the severity of the problem by supporting and developing a group of tools, apps and approaches intended to prevent scammers from getting through. Unfortunately, it's too little, too late. By the time these“solutions” become widely available, scammers will have moved onto cleverer means. In the near future, it's not just going to be the number you see on your screen that will be in doubt. Soon you will also question whether the voice you' re hearing is actually real. That's because there are a number of powerful voice manipulation(处理) and automation technologies that are about to become widely available for anyone to use. At this year's I/O Conference, a company showed a new voic technology able to produce such a convincing human-sounding voice that it was able to speak to a receptionist and book a reservation without detection. These developments are likely to make our current problems with robocalls much worse. The reason that robocalls are a headache has less to do with amount than precision(精准). A decade of data breaches(数据侵入) of personal information has led to a situation where scammers can easily learn your mother's name,and far more. Armed with this knowledge, they' re able to carry out individually targeted campaigns to cheat people. This means, for example, that a scammer could call you from what looks to be a familiar number and talk to you using a voice that sounds exactly like your bank teller's, ricking you into“confirming” your address, mother's name, and card number. Scammers follow money, so companies will be the worst hit. A lot of business is still done over the phone, and much of it is based on trust and existing relationships. Voice manipulation technologies may weaken that gradually. We need to deal with the insecure nature of our telecom networks. Phone carriers and consumers need to work together to find ways of determining and communicating what is real. That might mean either developing a uniform way to mark videos and images, showing when and who they were made by, or abandoning phone calls altogether and moving towards data-based communications— using apps like FaceTime or WhatsApp, which can be tied to your identity. Credibility is hard to earn but easy to lose, and the problem is only going to harder from here on out. 32 How does the author feel about the solutions to problem of robocalls? A. Panicked. B. Confused. C. Embarrassed. D. Disappointed. 33. Taking advantage of the new technologies, scammer can . A. aim at victims precisely B. damage databases easily C. start campaigns rapidly D. spread information widely 34. What does the passage imply? A. Honesty is the best policy. B. Technologies can be double-edged. C. There are more solutions than problems. D. Credibility holds the key to development. 35. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. Where the Problem of Robocalls Is Rooted B. Who Is to Blame for the Problem of Roboealls C. Why Robocalls Are About to Get More Dangerous D. How Robocalls Are Affecting the World of Technology E It's easy to spot signs of physical suffering, but much emotional pain can be easily masked. 36 “We don't tend to have conversations about mental well-being.” says Dr. Barbara Van Dahlen,a clinic psychologist. Simple asking someone“How are you” may just get“Fine, thank you”, says Van Dahlen.“It's important to be aware of what could lead to somebody needing help they' re afraid to ask for.” she adds.The following are four signs a friend might need help. 37 If you sense something different about the way your friend is acting — maybe he's not smiling much these days, for instance — trust your feelings and reach out. “Try saying, ‘I see these things. I care about you. Can I be of help?’” Van Dahlen says. He's unusually unhappy or annoyed. 38 “It may take more than one time to follow up if you' re talking to someone who is upset,”Van Dahlen says, but if a friend responds with anger, that could mean you' re onto something. He's less put together than usual. Drinking more and ignoring personal hygiene(卫生) can be signs that someone is in trouble. Don't consider these behaviors are nothing. 39 He seems overwhelmed by life. No one is happy all the time, but if your once optimistic friend can't find anything to be hopeful about,he may be having thoughts of worthlessness, sadness and something negative. “ 40 ” says VanDahlen, “so that more people can get the help they need.” A. He's acting a bit more withdrawn. B . He doesn't seem like himself lately. C. Instead treat them as a sign to care for your friend. D. Getting angry quickly and easily can be a sign that something is wrong. x. It's a constant effort to bring into the open discussions about mental health, F.
