A
Milwaukee,Wisconsin,is road testing a new way to keep winter roads ice-free-by
spreading on them cheese brine,the salty liquid used to make soft cheeses,like mozzarella.
如
Wisconsin,also called"America's Dairyland,"is famous for its cheese.The state
produced 2.8 billion pounds of cheese last year!As a result,there was a lot of leftover
cheese brine.Disposing of()the brine can be expensive.So what should cheese makers
球
do with the waste?
Normally,towns use rock salt to de-ice streets.The salt lowers water's freezing point,
causing ice to melt().But using cheese brine could help both cheese producers and
cities save money,while keeping roads safe.Cheese brine has salt in it,which,like the rock
salt,helps lower water's freezing point.
招
In addition to saving money,cheese brine could also be a more eco-friendly option.
Many people suspect that all the rock salt used every winter is harming the environment.
那
Rock salt is made of sodium chloride,the same compound (in ordinary table
敬
salt.Sounds harmless,right?But while your probably add only a small amount of salt to
your food,road crews spread about 20 million tons of salt on U.S.roads every year!
The chemical washes off roads and goes into the ground.There it can pollute drinking
超
water,harm plants,and eat away soil.By spreading cheese brine on streets before adding a
layer of rock salt,Milwaukee may be able to cut its rock salt use by 30 percent.
毁
Cheese brine has a downside too-a smell similar to that of bad milk."I don't really
mind it,"Emil Norby told Modern Farmer mamazine.He works for one of Wisconsin's
county highway commissions and came up with the idea of using cheese brine."Our roads
smell like Wisconsin!"he said.
1.Why can cheese brine help keep winter roads ice-free?
A.It is soft.
B.It contains salt,C.It is warm.
D.It has milk in it.
2.What is a benefit of using cheese brine on roads?
融
A.Improving air quality.
B.Increasing sales of rock salt.
C.Reducing water pollution.
D.Saving the cheese industry.
5-1
3.Milwaukee's new way to de-ice streets may be an example of
A.barking up the wrong tree
B.putting the cart before the horse
C.robbing Peter to pay Paul
D.killing two birds with one stone
B
My husband and I had been married nearly twenty-two years when I acquired Stevens-
Johnson syndrome,a disorder where my immune system(免疫系统)responded to a virus
by producing painful blisters().Although my long-term evaluation was good,I,who
had been so fiercely independent,rapidly became absolutely helpless.
My husband,Scott,stepped up to the plate,taking care of kids and cooking dinners.
He also became my personal caretaker,applying the medicine to all of my blisters because
my hands couldn't do the job.Needless to say,I had negative emotions,bouncing from
embarrassment to shame caused by total reliance on someone other than myself.
At one point when I had mentally and physically hit bottoms I remember thinking that
Scott must somehow love me more than I could ever love him.With my illness,he had
become the stronger one,and I the weaker one.And this disturbed me.
I recovered from my illness,but I couldn't seem to recover from the thought that I loved my
husband less than he loved me.This seeming distinction in our love continued to annoy me for the
year following my illness.
Then recently Scott and I went on a long bike ride.He's an experienced cyclist;I'm
quite the green hand.At one point with a strong headwind and sharp pain building in my
tired legs,I really thought I couldn't go any further.Seeing me struggle,Scott pulled in
front of me and yelled over his shoulder,"Stay close behind me."As I fell into the draft of
his six-foot-three-inch frame and followed his steps,I discovered that my legs quit burning
and I was able to catch my breath.My husband was pulling me along again.At this very
moment I woke up to what I now believe:during these and other tough times,love has the
opportunity to become stronger when one partner learns to lean on the other.
I pray my husband will always be strong and healthy.But if he should ever become the
struggling one,whether on a bike ride or with an illness,I trust I'll be ready to call out to
him:Stay close behind me-my turn to pull you along.
4.What made the author feel helpless?

D.Independent but tired of negative emotions.
6.What did the author's husband do when going on the long bike ride?
A.Followed her closely.
B.Gave in to her depression.
C.Backed her up all the way.

C.Walked to the kitchen.
D.Began to wash the plates.
C
Are some people born clever,and others born stupid?Or is intelligence developed by
our environment and our experiences?Strangely enough,the answer to both these
questions is yes.To some extent our intelligence is given to us at birth,and no amount of
special education can make a genius out of a child born with low intelligence.On the other
hand,a child who lives in a boring environment will develop his intelligence less than one
who lives in rich and varied surroundings.Thus the limits of a person's intelligence are
fixed at birth,but whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment.
This view,now held by most experts,can be supported in a number of ways.
It is easy to show that intelligence is to some extent something we are born with.The
closer the blood relationship between two people,the closer they are likely to be in
intelligence.Thus if we take two unrelated people at random (from the
population,it is likely that their degrees of intelligence will be completely different.If on
the other hand we take two identical(完全相同的)twins they will very likely be as
intelligent as each other.Relations like brothers and sisters,parents and children,usually
have similar intelligence,and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth
Imagine now that we take two identical twins and put them in different environments.
We might send one,for example,to a university and the other to a factory where the work
is boring.We would soon find differences in intelligence developing,and this indicates that
environment as well as birth plays a part.This conclusion is also suggested by the fact that
people who live in close contact with each other,but who are not related at all,are likely to
have similar degrees of intelligence.
8.Which of these sentences best describes the writer's point in Paragraph 1?
A.To some extent,intelligence is given at birth.
B.Intelligence is developed by the environment.
C.Some people are born clever and others born stupid.
D.Intelligence is fixed at birth,but is developed by the environment.
5-3
9.It is suggested in this passage that
A.unrelated people are not likely to have different intelligence
B.close relations usually have similar intelligence
C.the closer the blood relationship between people,the more different they are likely to
be in intelligence
D.people who live in close contact with each other are not likely to have similar degrees
of intelligence
10.In Paragraph 1,the underlined word surroundings means
A.intelligence
B.life
C.environments
D.housing
11.The best title for this article would be
A.Intelligence
B.What Intelligence Means
C.We Are Born with Intelligence
D.Environment Plays a Part in Developing Intelligence
D
"Siri,what's the weather like in San Francisco?"
“Today'sforecast for San Antonio is..”
"No.San FRAN-CIS-CO !!
"The tapper Sisqo was born in Baltimore,Maryland."
Sometimes,talking to an artificially intelligent robot is,well,not so intelligent.
Yohav Shoham,the Stanford computer science professor,said,"AI has made truly
amazing progress in the past decade,but computers still can't exhibit the common sense or
the general intelligence of even a 5-year-old."Yann LeCun,a French scientist,put it more
simply."We're very far from having machines that can learn the most basic things about
the world in the way humans and animals can do.In particular areas machines have
superhuman performance,but in terms of general intelligence they're not even close to a
rat,”he explained..
Oren Etzioni,an Israeli scientist,said,"There's a brand of science fiction (
that's very dystopian(反面乌托邦的).These works of fiction talk about how the world is
going to get much worse.I'm too much of an optimist to get a lot of pleasure out
of reading such stories."
However,robots are becoming smarter.Indeed,our homes are becoming more
intelligent when we place devices (like the Amazon Echo and Google Home on our
kitchen counter.But,at least for the moment anyway,we shouldn't feel intimidated by this
artificial intelligence.
There are robots that move like animals and robots that offer guidance.There's even a
robot that can paint a picture of Einstein and a robot that can fold your laundry.Robots are
5-4
not taking over the world yet.So for now,we can simply sit back and relax.And have a
robot waiter pour us a drink.
12.What does the dialogue at the beginning of the text tell us?
A.Robots aren't as smart as we expect.
B.It isn't easy to forecast the weather correctly.
C.A speaker may be misunderstood by another.
D.Weather is a good subject to start a conversation.
13.What do the scientists think about the artificially intelligent robots now?
A.They have superhuman performance in kitchen tasks.
B.They have the common sense of a 5-year-old.
C.They can only learn the basic things of humans.
D.They are still poor at general intelligence.
14.How did Oren find the dystopian science fiction?
A.Pleasant.
B.Typical.
C.Realistic.
D.Controversial.
15.What does the underlined word "intimidated"mean?
A.Comforted.
B.Astonished.
C.Threatened.
D.Disappointed.

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为
多余选项。
A housewarming party is a special party to be held when someone buys or moves into
a new apartment or house.The person who bought the house or moved is the one who
throws the party.The party is a chance for friends and family to congratulate the person on
the new home.16 And it is a good time to fill the new space with love and hopefully
presents.
17 Some people register a list of things they want or need for their new home at a
local store or stores.Some common things people will put on a gift registry include kitchen
tools like knives and things like curtains.Even if there isn't a registry,a good
housewarming gift is something to decorate the new house with,like a piece of art or a
plant.
18 This is often appreciated since at a housewarming there isn't a lot of food
served.There are usually no planned activities like games at a housewarming party.The
host or hostess of the party will,however,probably give all the guests a tour of their new
home.Sometimes,because a housewarming party happens shortly after a person moves into
their new home,people may be asked to help unpack boxes.19
Housewarming parties get their name from the fact that a long time ago people would
actually bring firewood to a new home as a gift.20 Now most homes have central
heating and don't use fires to keep warm.
5-5
A.This isn't usual though
B.It is traditional to bring a gift to a housewarming party.
C.You can also bring food or drinks to share with the other guests.
D.If you're lucky enough to receive gifts,keep them in a safe place.
E.It also gives people a chance to see what the new home looks like.
F.The best housewarming parties encourage old friends to get together.
G.This was so that the person could keep their home warm for the winter.

My father asked me to chat with him for a while.Actually,I was unwilling to listen to
his endless talking as he always did.My father was a lawyer,but I never wanted to go to
law school or follow his path through life.
As was expected,he cleared his throat and started to say,"Er...What...What do
you really want to do in the future?"
I was silent for a moment playing with the cellphone.I kept thinking,"Should I tell
him my true thoughts?What if he gets angry?What if I let him down?"Later I replied,
“Well,I want to be a writer..”
I guessed this may be not the answer he would expect.But surprisingly,"Interesting
idea!"he answered.I was shocked,speaking in a low voice with hesitation.
“Are you serious,Dad?”
"Well,you need confidence and good preparations,and you still have plenty of time.
You need to find out what you really enjoy now.Look,it's late.Let's take the boat out
tomorrow morning,just you and me.Maybe we can catch some crabs (for dinner,
and we can talk more.”
Early next morning we packed up the equipment and set off along the coast.We didn't
talk much,but enjoyed the sound of the seabirds and the sight of the coastline.
There were no big waves and blinding sunlight at that time."Let's see if we get
lucky,"he said,picked up a web basket with a rope tied and threw it into the sea.We
waited for a while,then my father stood up and said,"Give me a hand with this,"and we
pulled up the crab cage onto the deck.
To our joy,the cage was filled with dozens of soft shell crabs.Squatting (down,
we watched them for a moment.At first they fought hard against each other to climb out,
trying to escape.Many were pulled back into the cage.Later,some gave up,but there were
still some crabs trying to escape again and again.
Paragraph 1:
At that moment,my father pointed to the cage,"Look at that crab,there!"
Paragraph 2:
From that day on,I was determined to make my dream come true.
