11． When family members shared stories of their beloved father and uncle Hody Childress during his funeral （葬禮），they were in for a surprise.They learned that Hody，despite his financial circumstances，had been donating money to Geraldine Drugs for anyone who needed help paying for their medicines.He started making donations monthly about seven or eight years ago.
"He told me he never wanted anyone to know where the money came from when it was given，"Brooke，the drugstore owner，said."He also didn't want to know how it was used.He told me to use my judgment."
Over time the secret fund （基金） grew to thousands of dollars and thus helped even more people in need.Hody's kind heart definitely blessed a lot of people in his community.Brooke talked about a time when that secret fun d was needed more than ever.
"There once was a young，single mom.She and her daughter both needed a kind of medicine that they couldn't afford.So we used the fund.When I handed her the medicine，she started crying.That's not even the best part.Several months later，she returned to pay it forward.She wanted money added back to the account.She didn't have to do that，but she had a desire to help others in difficult situations.I believe that Hody sparked that in her heart，and that she will carry that forward her entire life."
After the funeral，news of Hody's giving spread and has inspired his family，friends，and others to start contributing to his fun d to allow it to continue as a community resource.
Brooke said that he could not think of a better way to honor Hody."There are so many people in Geraldine who have lived longer because of Hody.He will always be remembered and loved."
（1）What surprised Hody's family members？
A．His medicines.
B．His death.
C．His wealth.
D．His donation.
（2）What does the underlined phrase "pay it forward"possibly mean？
A．Pay for the medicine.
B．Contribute money.
C．Learn about the donor.

（3）What best describes Hody？
A．Patient and kind.
B．Selfless and amusing.
C．Rich and generous.
D．Loving and influential.組卷：0引用：2難度：0.5 -
12．There is an old joke among pilots that says the ideal flight crew is a computer，a pilot and a dog.The computer's job is to fly the plane.The pilot is there to feed the dog.And the dog's job is to bite the pilot if he tries to touch the computer.
Handing complex tasks to computers is not new.But recent progress in machine learning，a subfield of artificial intelligence （AI），has enabled computers to handle many problems which were previously beyond jye.aim.The result has been an AI boom，with computers moving into everything from medical diagnosis and insurance to self-driving cars.
There is a problem，though.Machine learning works by giving computers the ability to train themselves，which adapts their programming to the task at hand.People struggle to understand exactly how those self-written programs do what they do.When algorithms（計算機程序）are doing small tasks，such as playing chess or recommending a film to watch，this "black box" problem can be safely ignored.When they are deciding who gets a loan，or how to drive a car through a crowded city，it is potentially harmful.And when things go wrong，then customers，regulators and the courts will want to know why.
For some people this is a reason to hold back AL France's digital-economy minister，Mounir Mahjoubi，has said that the government should not use any algorithm whose decisions cannot be explained.But that is an overreaction.The difficulties caused by clever computers are not unheard- of.Society already has plenty of experience dealing with problematic black boxes；the most common are called human beings，who can't even figure out what's going on in a brajye.ai.In response to the weakness in humans，society has evolved a series of workable coping mechanisms，called laws，rules and regulations.Many of these can be applied to machines as well.
Humans have worked with computers on complex tasks for decades.One lesson from such applications is that，wherever possible，people should supervise（監督）the machjye.aies.In that joke，pilots are vital in case something happens that is beyond the scope of artificial intelligence.As computers spread，companies and governments should ensure the first line of defence is a real person who can overrule the algorithms if necessary.
（1）Why is the joke mentioned in Paragraph 1？
A．To make people laugh.
B．To foresee future aeroplane industry.
C．To introduce the latest model of aeroplanes.
D．To raise people's awareness of computers performing complex tasks.
（2）What has caused the increasing application of computers in various fields？
A．The shortage of labor force.
B．The rise of artificial intelligence.
C．The encouragement of government.
D．The development of medical economy.
（3）Why are some people opposed to AI？
A．Black boxes always go wrong.
B．Laws forbid machine learning.
C．They don't understand how AI works.
D．Computers are trying to replace human beings.組卷：9引用：1難度：0.6 -
13．Years ago，the American writer Kurt Vonnegut often said there was one story that would always make a million dollars：Cinderella．
Cinderella made more like＄70 million in ticket sales when it opened last weekend．But the movie got a mixed reaction．David Rooney of The Hollywood Reporter praised the movie and said， "Anyone will find something to enjoy in it．" Steven Rea of The Philadelphia Inquirer called the movie "a winning re-do"．Richard Corliss of Time magazine wrote that "Disney finally got Cinderella right． " Other people were not as happy with the movie．Sara Stewart of the New York Post wrote， "This Cinderella is all dressed up with nowhere very interesting to go．"

The make-up （化妝品） company MAC quickly sold all its products connected to Cinderella．HSN is a popular website selling clothing and objects for the home．The marketer is now also selling Cinderella products．
So，is there anything left for the children，those people we think of as the traditional audience （觀眾） for the age-old tale？Yes，you can find toys and other children's products at the American store JCPenney．Of course，you can also visit a Disney store．
（1）The underlined part "a mixed reaction" in Paragraph 2 probably means．

17．閱讀下面短文，根據所給情節進行續寫，使之構成一個完整的故事。
I live in a small but lovely neighborhood.Our house is neither large nor luxurious，but it has a fairly big garden.My father loves his garden.He planted some seeds in it and took good care of the plants，watering them，applying fertilizer，weeding and getting rid of bugs.He was never tired of doing all that stuff.But at that time，I didn't understand why working in the dirt excited him so much.
Unfortunately，in the summer vacation before senior high school，my father was seriously injured in an accident.He had to stay in bed for a while.My mother had several business trips，so she couldn't take care of the garden.I didn't want my father to worry.I said that I would take care of his garden until he recovered.I assumed that the little plants would continue to grow as long as they had water，and luckily it rained fairly often，so I didn't think much about the garden.
One Saturday morning，my father said to me， "Christine，the vegetables should be about ready to be picked.Let's have a salad today!" I went out to the garden and was upset to see that many of the lettuce （生菜） leaves and carrots had been half eaten by bugs.There were hundreds of bugs all over them!
I panicked for a moment but then I quietly went to the nearest supermarket to buy some vegetables.When I was making the salad，my mother came home and saw the bag from the supermarket in the kitchen.I was embarrassed and admitted， "Dad would like a salad，but the garden is a disaster.I don't want to disappoint him，so I went to the store and bought some vegetables." My mother smiled，saying， "Honey，you know what is the right thing to do."
My father seemed very pleased when I took the salad to him.______
Feeling guilty，I decided to do the right thing.______組卷：54引用：7難度：0.5
