I started playing ftball when I was 7 r 8 years ld after my brthers had agreed t let their little sister jin in their games. I’m frm a very small twn and at that time n ther girls played ftball in my twn. Peple said ftball wasn’t fr wmen and my family shuldn’t let me play. They als said I wuldn’t make it, and that I wasn’t gd enugh.
As a child, I didn’t really understand why peple were s against me playing when I culd play it well! I fught back by shwing my talent n the streets.
My greatest inspiratin (激励) was my mther. We came frm a pr family; my mm separated frm my dad when I was less than a year ld and she raised fur children n her wn. She wrked all day, had little time t spend with us, but she never gave up. I fund my strength frm her t keep ging.
Every win is imprtant fr me, frm the time when I was playing in amateur teams amng the bys t the first win as part f the Brazilian natinal team, and nw. I remember when I went back t my twn in 2006 after winning the award (奖) fr the best female player in the wrld. When I arrived, it was nearly midnight and the whle twn was awake, waiting fr me. I gt int a fireman’s truck and peple were waving. That achievement culd happen because I hadn’t given up that first mment I heard a “n”.
Sprt changed my life cmpletely. It gave me the pprtunity (机会) t help my family, meet ther peple, see ther cuntries and experience ther cultures. Sprt is a tl fr empwering girls, because it gives yu the pprtunity t d what yu want and learn t respect the differences between peple.
Fr me, it’s a great hnr t be a UN Wmen Gdwill Ambassadr (亲善大使). Tday, I am here t use my stry t inspire many mre girls and wmen and t create pprtunities s that next generatin desn’t have t g thrugh what I did.

I left a jb in higher educatin in 1987 t begin wrk full time as a futurist. Actually, there are three ways t this career (职业).
First is the infrmal r self-taught path (途径) taken by many peple. Peple in different fields ften discver their persnal interest in the future. And then they begin t read things abut futures studies, frecasting, science and technlgy, and s n. They begin t attend meetings as they can find them. Gradually they begin t call themselves futurists. Of the 40,000 members f the Wrld Future Sciety (WFS), mst have taken that path. But nly abut 1,200 are “prfessinal members” wh try t make a living as futurists. If this path sunds right fr yu, it can be successfully fllwed. The best place t start is with a membership in the WFS.
A secnd path is thrugh the mre traditinal clleges. There are cllege prgrams in futures studies. Amng thse we suggest is the master’s degree prgram in futures studies at the University f Hustn, Clear Lake, Texas. Anther prgram in futures studies is the Hawaii Research Center fr Futures Studies, at the University f Hawaii.
Finally, a third path is the ne that I tk, r rather was given. That is the mentr (导师) path. An early futurist and funding member f the WFS tk me under his wing while I was an undergraduate student (本科生). He began t feed me things t read and t attend, nurturing (培养) my wn interest in the future thrugh what became mre than a ten-year-lng relatinship. His name was Ed Lindaman, at ne time directr f prgram planning fr building Apll, later a cllege president when I knew him. If yu are lucky enugh t find that kind f relatinship, it can have sme f the features f the first tw paths, thugh withut the frmal degree.
28. What d we knw abut the authr?
A. He funded the WFS.
B. He gt his first jb as a futurist.
C. He makes a living as a futurist nw.
D. Being a futurist was his childhd dream.
29. What des the underlined part “that path” in Paragraph 2 refer t?
A. Self-study.
B. Full-time educatin.
C. Being a WFS member.
D. Being guided by prfessinals.
30. What kind f feeling did the authr have when he mentined Ed Lindaman?
A. Regret.
B. Wrry.
C. Excitement.
D. Thankfulness.
31. What advice des the authr mainly give t readers?
A. Hw t jin the WFS.
B. Hw t becme a futurist.
C. Hw t chse yur career.
D. Hw t take a degree in the future.

Three French students, using the name “Obvius”, have prduced the first artwrk created mainly by a cmputer prgram t be sld at auctin (拍卖). Using artificial intelligence (AI), Obvius created 11 prtraits f an imaginary family they called Belamy.
Obvius used 15,000 real prtraits t train an AI prgram which has tw parts. One part tries t create pictures that lk real. The ther part judges (判断) the wrk. If the prtrait desn’t lk real enugh, the first part ges back and changes its decisins until it cmes up with a better picture. These decisins are cntrlled by an algrithm (计算程序). The students made many chices, helping guide the AI’s decisins. But even s, the painting is “signed” by the algrithm, instead f the students.
On Octber 25, Obvius’s picture, Edmnd de Belamy, was sld at auctin at Christie’s in New Yrk. The final price fr Edmnd de Belamy was $432,500 — abut ten times mre than Christie’s expected.
This is nt the first AI artwrk, just the first ne sld at auctin. In fact, many peple are nt impressed with the prtrait. “The wrk isn’t interesting, r riginal (新颖的),” says 19-year-ld Rbbie Barrat. He shuld knw. He wrte much f the prgram that created the pictures.
But he desn’t like the idea f Obvius selling the picture. He thinks it’s t simple and gives a bad idea f what real AI artists are ding. He pints ut that he created many pictures like these ver a year ag.
Obvius desn’t hide the fact that it used Mr. Barrat’s wrk, r even that its prtrait is nt the best AI artwrk ever. Pierre Fautrel f Obvius said, “... the gal f ur prject was t d smething that was simple enugh fr ... my mther r brther t understand.”
Obvius gt the attentin f Christie’s by selling anther wrk, Le Cmte de Belamy, fr ver $11,000 in February. One reasn Christie’s chse t auctin Obvius’s wrk is because AI art is unusual nw. In the future it will be much mre cmmn.
32. What des Paragraph 2 mainly explain?
A. Hw Obvius made its decisins.
B. Hw Obvius named its AI artwrk.
C. Hw Obvius’s AI prgram did paintings.
D. Hw Obvius gt the idea t becme AI artists.
33. What can we learn abut Edmnd de Belamy?
A. It’s Obvius’s first AI artwrk.
B. It’s Obvius’s best AI artwrk ever.
C. It’s the first AI artwrk highly praised.
D. It’s the first AI artwrk sld at auctin.
34. What des Rbbie Barrat think f the AI artwrk sld at auctin?
A. It is f little artistic value.
B. It is wrth mre than the price paid.
C. It is a gd example f real AI artwrk.
D. It is hard fr cmmn peple t understand.
35. Hw des Christie’s feel abut AI art nw?
A. Wrrying.
B. Enjyable.
C. Meaningless.
D. Mney-making.

This June, I learnt that my flight int Queenstwn, the adventure capital f the wrld, was a 20-minute drive away frm the wrld’s first ever bungee (蹦极) site. “S,” I tld myself, “since I’m afraid f any term that starts with the wrd ‘bungee,’ I shuld have a try this time.”
I regretted saying thse wrds as I lked dwn frm the bridge. “Yu wuldn’t be human if yu didn’t feel this way,” said X, the bungee instructr. She tld everybdy this, I was sure.

Finally, I jumped. If yu are waiting fr the part where I say I felt like a bird, it’s nt cming. I fell like a rag dll (布娃娃), and felt like my stmach and my heart were in my thrat.

I climbed the steps alng the muntain t return t the bungee centre n tp. Midway lay a little gate beynd which I saw a little by and a wman. “Oh yu did it!” she waved at me with jy. “It was yu that we were watching there!” she pinted t the bridge.

There are few clear rules in the UK saying drivers shuld nt park n the pavement (人行道). But Sctland, a cuntry f Britain, is planning a cmplete ban n pavement parking. And, earlier this year, the UK gvernment admitted it was cnsidering changing the law fr the ther parts f Britain.
Je Irvin f Living Streets (the UK charity fr everyday walking) says there is “n excuse” fr the disagreement and has called n the UK gvernment t act the same way.
“Pavement parking is really thughtless — and if yu think abut peple with wheelchairs, pushchairs, r sight impairment (受损), they have t g ut n t the rad,” says Mr Irvin.
Steve Hynd, frm Bristl, said his father, wh uses a wheelchair, had recently ended up in hspital after a parked car had blcked his path.
“My dad’s experience was near his care hme,” he says. “He was trying t wheel himself back inside and a car had parked up n the pavement. He tried t get arund it and fell ut f his wheelchair.
“He went t hspital. He’d hurt his head and gt a black eye where his glasses had gne in.”
Grups such as the AA and RAC admit “sme streets” shuld nt allw pavement parking if it causes prblems t emergency vehicles (紧急车辆) — but they d nt believe in a cmplete ban acrss the cuntry.
AA president Edmund King says, “We wuld be cncerned if there was a ttal ban. It is clearly pssible in sme areas t park n the pavement while still allwing rm fr pushchairs r peple in wheelchairs t pass.”
Hugh Bladn f the Alliance f British Drivers argues a cmplete ban wuld cause serius prblems as sme streets were s narrw.
The simple way t deal with the prblems, Mr Bladn believes, is that all drivers must leave at least ne metre between their car and the inside f the pavement t allw peple with pushchairs and s n t pass by.
5. What shuld the UK gvernment d accrding t Je Irvin?
A. Give equal rights t drivers in the UK.
B. Prevent Sctland frm making the law.
C. Ban pavement parking ttally in the UK.
D. Find mre ways t prtect walking peple.
6. What des the underlined wrd “it” in Paragraph 5 refer t?
A. A hspital.
B. A parked car.
C. A wheelchair.
D. A care hme.
7. What is Edmund King’s attitude t a cmplete ban n pavement parking?
A. He is against it.
B. He is uncertain f it.
C. He feels hpeful abut it.
D. He pays little attentin t it.
8. What des Hugh Bladn want drivers t d when parking?
A. Be careful with cars n the pavement.
B. Stp parking n the pavement frever.
C. Allw peple with pushchairs t g first.
D. Leave enugh space fr pavement walkers.

I started playing ftball when I was 7 r 8 years ld after my brthers had agreed t let their little sister jin in their games. I’m frm a very small twn and at that time n ther girls played ftball in my twn. Peple said ftball wasn’t fr wmen and my family shuldn’t let me play. They als said I wuldn’t make it, and that I wasn’t gd enugh.
As a child, I didn’t really understand why peple were s against me playing when I culd play it well! I fught back by shwing my talent n the streets.
My greatest inspiratin (激励) was my mther. We came frm a pr family; my mm separated frm my dad when I was less than a year ld and she raised fur children n her wn. She wrked all day, had little time t spend with us, but she never gave up. I fund my strength frm her t keep ging.
Every win is imprtant fr me, frm the time when I was playing in amateur teams amng the bys t the first win as part f the Brazilian natinal team, and nw. I remember when I went back t my twn in 2006 after winning the award (奖) fr the best female player in the wrld. When I arrived, it was nearly midnight and the whle twn was awake, waiting fr me. I gt int a fireman’s truck and peple were waving. That achievement culd happen because I hadn’t given up that first mment I heard a “n”.
Sprt changed my life cmpletely. It gave me the pprtunity (机会) t help my family, meet ther peple, see ther cuntries and experience ther cultures. Sprt is a tl fr empwering girls, because it gives yu the pprtunity t d what yu want and learn t respect the differences between peple.
Fr me, it’s a great hnr t be a UN Wmen Gdwill Ambassadr (亲善大使). Tday, I am here t use my stry t inspire many mre girls and wmen and t create pprtunities s that next generatin desn’t have t g thrugh what I did.

I left a jb in higher educatin in 1987 t begin wrk full time as a futurist. Actually, there are three ways t this career (职业).
First is the infrmal r self-taught path (途径) taken by many peple. Peple in different fields ften discver their persnal interest in the future. And then they begin t read things abut futures studies, frecasting, science and technlgy, and s n. They begin t attend meetings as they can find them. Gradually they begin t call themselves futurists. Of the 40,000 members f the Wrld Future Sciety (WFS), mst have taken that path. But nly abut 1,200 are “prfessinal members” wh try t make a living as futurists. If this path sunds right fr yu, it can be successfully fllwed. The best place t start is with a membership in the WFS.
A secnd path is thrugh the mre traditinal clleges. There are cllege prgrams in futures studies. Amng thse we suggest is the master’s degree prgram in futures studies at the University f Hustn, Clear Lake, Texas. Anther prgram in futures studies is the Hawaii Research Center fr Futures Studies, at the University f Hawaii.
Finally, a third path is the ne that I tk, r rather was given. That is the mentr (导师) path. An early futurist and funding member f the WFS tk me under his wing while I was an undergraduate student (本科生). He began t feed me things t read and t attend, nurturing (培养) my wn interest in the future thrugh what became mre than a ten-year-lng relatinship. His name was Ed Lindaman, at ne time directr f prgram planning fr building Apll, later a cllege president when I knew him. If yu are lucky enugh t find that kind f relatinship, it can have sme f the features f the first tw paths, thugh withut the frmal degree.
28. What d we knw abut the authr?
A. He funded the WFS.
B. He gt his first jb as a futurist.
C. He makes a living as a futurist nw.
D. Being a futurist was his childhd dream.
29. What des the underlined part “that path” in Paragraph 2 refer t?
A. Self-study.
B. Full-time educatin.
C. Being a WFS member.
D. Being guided by prfessinals.
30. What kind f feeling did the authr have when he mentined Ed Lindaman?
A. Regret.
B. Wrry.
C. Excitement.
D. Thankfulness.
31. What advice des the authr mainly give t readers?
A. Hw t jin the WFS.
B. Hw t becme a futurist.
C. Hw t chse yur career.
D. Hw t take a degree in the future.

Three French students, using the name “Obvius”, have prduced the first artwrk created mainly by a cmputer prgram t be sld at auctin (拍卖). Using artificial intelligence (AI), Obvius created 11 prtraits f an imaginary family they called Belamy.
Obvius used 15,000 real prtraits t train an AI prgram which has tw parts. One part tries t create pictures that lk real. The ther part judges (判断) the wrk. If the prtrait desn’t lk real enugh, the first part ges back and changes its decisins until it cmes up with a better picture. These decisins are cntrlled by an algrithm (计算程序). The students made many chices, helping guide the AI’s decisins. But even s, the painting is “signed” by the algrithm, instead f the students.
On Octber 25, Obvius’s picture, Edmnd de Belamy, was sld at auctin at Christie’s in New Yrk. The final price fr Edmnd de Belamy was $432,500 — abut ten times mre than Christie’s expected.
This is nt the first AI artwrk, just the first ne sld at auctin. In fact, many peple are nt impressed with the prtrait. “The wrk isn’t interesting, r riginal (新颖的),” says 19-year-ld Rbbie Barrat. He shuld knw. He wrte much f the prgram that created the pictures.
But he desn’t like the idea f Obvius selling the picture. He thinks it’s t simple and gives a bad idea f what real AI artists are ding. He pints ut that he created many pictures like these ver a year ag.
Obvius desn’t hide the fact that it used Mr. Barrat’s wrk, r even that its prtrait is nt the best AI artwrk ever. Pierre Fautrel f Obvius said, “... the gal f ur prject was t d smething that was simple enugh fr ... my mther r brther t understand.”
Obvius gt the attentin f Christie’s by selling anther wrk, Le Cmte de Belamy, fr ver $11,000 in February. One reasn Christie’s chse t auctin Obvius’s wrk is because AI art is unusual nw. In the future it will be much mre cmmn.
32. What des Paragraph 2 mainly explain?
A. Hw Obvius made its decisins.
B. Hw Obvius named its AI artwrk.
C. Hw Obvius’s AI prgram did paintings.
D. Hw Obvius gt the idea t becme AI artists.
33. What can we learn abut Edmnd de Belamy?
A. It’s Obvius’s first AI artwrk.
B. It’s Obvius’s best AI artwrk ever.
C. It’s the first AI artwrk highly praised.
D. It’s the first AI artwrk sld at auctin.
34. What des Rbbie Barrat think f the AI artwrk sld at auctin?
A. It is f little artistic value.
B. It is wrth mre than the price paid.
C. It is a gd example f real AI artwrk.
D. It is hard fr cmmn peple t understand.
35. Hw des Christie’s feel abut AI art nw?
A. Wrrying.

I regretted saying thse wrds as I lked dwn frm the bridge. “Yu wuldn’t be human if yu didn’t feel this way,” said X, the bungee instructr. She tld everybdy this, I was sure.

There are few clear rules in the UK saying drivers shuld nt park n the pavement (人行道). But Sctland, a cuntry f Britain, is planning a cmplete ban n pavement parking. And, earlier this year, the UK gvernment admitted it was cnsidering changing the law fr the ther parts f Britain.
Je Irvin f Living Streets (the UK charity fr everyday walking) says there is “n excuse” fr the disagreement and has called n the UK gvernment t act the same way.
“Pavement parking is really thughtless — and if yu think abut peple with wheelchairs, pushchairs, r sight impairment (受损), they have t g ut n t the rad,” says Mr Irvin.
Steve Hynd, frm Bristl, said his father, wh uses a wheelchair, had recently ended up in hspital after a parked car had blcked his path.
“My dad’s experience was near his care hme,” he says. “He was trying t wheel himself back inside and a car had parked up n the pavement. He tried t get arund it and fell ut f his wheelchair.
“He went t hspital. He’d hurt his head and gt a black eye where his glasses had gne in.”
Grups such as the AA and RAC admit “sme streets” shuld nt allw pavement parking if it causes prblems t emergency vehicles (紧急车辆) — but they d nt believe in a cmplete ban acrss the cuntry.
AA president Edmund King says, “We wuld be cncerned if there was a ttal ban. It is clearly pssible in sme areas t park n the pavement while still allwing rm fr pushchairs r peple in wheelchairs t pass.”
Hugh Bladn f the Alliance f British Drivers argues a cmplete ban wuld cause serius prblems as sme streets were s narrw.
The simple way t deal with the prblems, Mr Bladn believes, is that all drivers must leave at least ne metre between their car and the inside f the pavement t allw peple with pushchairs and s n t pass by.
5. What shuld the UK gvernment d accrding t Je Irvin?
A. Give equal rights t drivers in the UK.
B. Prevent Sctland frm making the law.
C. Ban pavement parking ttally in the UK.
D. Find mre ways t prtect walking peple.
6. What des the underlined wrd “it” in Paragraph 5 refer t?
A. A hspital.
B. A parked car.
C. A wheelchair.
D. A care hme.
7. What is Edmund King’s attitude t a cmplete ban n pavement parking?
A. He is against it.
B. He is uncertain f it.
C. He feels hpeful abut it.
D. He pays little attentin t it.
8. What des Hugh Bladn want drivers t d when parking?
A. Be careful with cars n the pavement.
B. Stp parking n the pavement frever.
C. Allw peple with pushchairs t g first.
D. Leave enugh space fr pavement walkers.
