My mind, _5_， was working angrily as I struggled not to _6_. I figured I knew the two most likely candidates for drawing the picture.

They were all silent as I told them how _9_ this was for me. I told them there must be a reason _10_ and now was their chance to write down anything they needed to tell me. Then I let them write silently while I sniffed in the back of the classroom.As I _11_ the notes later, many of them said something like, “Ive got nothing _12_ you，” or “Im sorry you were hurt.” Some kids said, “Were afraid of you.” But two notes, from the girls who I _13_ were behind the picture, had a list of issues. I was too _14_， too strict . Reading those notes, I realized that over the course of this year, instead of _15_ my students, I had begun commanding them to _16_.

Up until that point, our family had our own space to spread out. Money was tight, so there was no television set, but we owned a turntable on which my dads records played constantly. Mostly, it played Bob Dylan. Tracks from The Basement Tapes and Desire became an important part of our new life. My brother and I, aged 8 and 10, climbed trees, built hideaways and learned the words of Clothes Line Saga. We would chant over the lost in our own joy.It was January when my dad left us forever because of the cancer. He was 36 going on 37 then, the same age as Dylan. Afterwards, our laughter disappeared, but we kept on playing the records, which became our only ritual of remembrance. The two men became so intertwined in my head, and I struggled to tell them apart.Dylan was my dads gift to me. What child wouldnt be fascinated by songs full of pirates and seasick sailors? How did it feel to have no direction home? Farewell, Angelina became my party piece. I would sing this at church cheese and wines to the assembled audience. A lot of donations were made.Growing up, I remained a fan of the music, but I wasnt obsessed with Dylan until one day in early 1995, my brother bought us both tickets to see him play at Brixton Academy. London felt like a long way to go. But finally seeing Dylan step out onto the stage brought a sudden rush of excitement.I have seen Dylan a couple of times since. My brother is not around so much these days. But he was up for a visit recently. We passed a happy evening laughing and drinking, while his son, aged nine, performed his party piece Subterranean Homesick Blues for us. He sang it wordperfect. And so it goes on: Dylans music as a gift, passed down the generations.篇章导读：本文是一篇记叙文。作者讲述了对Bob Dylan的喜欢和热爱，及Bob Dylan对自己家三代人的影响。1Whats the authors purpose of writing the passage?ATo praise his late father.BTo tell about his family history.CTo express his longing for family reunion.DTo show his love for Bob Dylan.答案：D推理判断题。通读全文并综合几个主题句“Dylan was my dads gift to me.”和“Dylans music as a gift, passed down the generations.”等信息可知，作者的写作目的是讲述从小到大一直以来对Bob Dylan的喜欢和热爱，故选D。2The underlined word “ritual” in the second paragraph means “_”Apassion BceremonyCmemory Dbelief答案：B词义猜测题。此处指父亲去世后我们的笑声消失了，但我们继续播放Bob Dylan的唱片，这成了我们对父亲唯一的记念仪式。ritual指“仪式”，与ceremony同义，故选B。3How did the author raise money in his childhood?ABy singing a Dylans song at church gatherings.BBy providing cheese and wines to church prayers.CBy playing a private in church performances.DBy accepting donations from the church.答案：A细节理解题。根据第三段中的“I would sing this at church cheese and wines to the assembled audience.

Now AI (Artificial Intelligence) could make it quicker to match any found children to those old photos.Police can use software to age photos of people who have been missing for a while, but these tend to work best in adults, as agerelated changes of adult faces are more predictable and so easier to make.With children, these aged images (图像) dont tend to resemble the older children, and matching photos of found children to old images in a database of missing children is difficult. “Given a recent face image of a child, it is extremely hard for a human to recognize, visually, who the child is from a large data set of child face images，” says Debayan Deb at Michigan State University.Now Deb and his colleagues have created an algorithm (算法) to do this for them. They created a facerecognition algorithm on data sets, which contain images of nearly 1,000 children between 2 and 18 years old. Each was photographed at least four times over a period of six years.AI learned to match recent photographs of children with images taken 2.5 years earlier 80 percent of the time.With one year between the two photographs, the method was 90 percent accurate at recognizing faces. This dropped to 73 percent after three years. The approach beats comparing children with photos taken when they were aged 0 to 4 that have been aged by software, which stays at 50 percent recognition after six months. The new AI might help to improve accuracy of this kind of software as well.Debs next goal is to make the age gap wider. His team also hopes to develop an app that could be used to fight child trafficking.篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了通过人工智能手段来确认丢失孩子的身份。5What is suggested in Para.1?AThe old photos are hard to read.BFound children change greatly.CChildrens faces are unpredictable.DPhotos of children are easy to match.答案：B推理判断题。根据第一段第一句“As missing children age, they outgrow their last known photographs, which makes finding them tough.”可知，随着丢失孩子年龄的增长，他们的长相和所知道的他们最后的照片上的样子非常不同，这使找到他们很难，故答案为B项(被找到的孩子变化很大)。6Why do Debs team do the research?ATo prove the advantages of AI function.BTo help the police change their software.CTo build a data base to find the missing children.DTo improve the accuracy of childrens facerecognition.答案：D推理判断题。根据文章第三段中的“Given a recent face image of a child, it is extremely hard for a human to recognize, visually, who the child is from a large data set of child face images”，第四段中的“Now Deb and his colleagues have created an algorithm (算法) to do this for them.”和第六段中的“The new AI might help to improve accuracy of this kind of software as well.”可知，Deb团队做研究的目的是提高脸部图像匹配的准确性，故答案为D项。7What does the underlined word “trafficking” in the last paragraph mean?AImage matching. BComparing.CRecognizing. DIllegal trade.答案：D词义猜测题。纵观文章内容可知，本文介绍了目前警方通过软件确认丢失孩子的身份有难度，Deb和他的团队创造了一个算法可以比较准确地确认一个丢失孩子的身份；根据文中出现的“missing children”和“found children”可推知，画线词在此处指的是“非法拐卖(儿童)”，故答案为D项。8What is the main idea of the text?AAI could match missing kids to old photos.BAgerelated changes of faces are predictable.CA facerecognition algorithm has been created.DA new software is improved to find missing kids.答案：A主旨大意题。本篇文章的中心句为“Now AI (Artificial Intelligence) could make it quicker to match any found children to those old photos.”，故答案选A项，人工智能能够把丢失的孩子和旧照片匹配起来。CA new library in TianjinTianjin Binhai Public Libraryrecently became an online hit. The Daily Mail described it as the “worlds ultimate (终极的) library”， while the word “breathtaking” was the choice of Newsweek magazine. One look at the library and youll see why. With its futuristic (未来派的) design and walls loaded with books, its the dream library of every book lover.But as the surprise continues, theres a burning question lying in the back of our minds: When physical bookstores are closing down one by one, what makes libraries safe from the wave of digitalization (数字化)? And do we really still need libraries now that weve got the Internet in our hands?Reporter Ian Clark has the answer. “Libraries are not declining in importancepeople are simply changing the way they use them，” he wrote on The Guardian website.What Clark means is that libraries have shifted from simply being storehouses of books to a medium to help “bridge the gap between the haves and the havenots”， according to website Libraries Are Essential. Since not everyone can afford a smartphone, a tablet or an Internet connection, and not everyone has the knowhow to search the Internet correctly and efficiently, its public libraries that make sure that these resources and technologies are available to a larger group of people.“Nobody is trying to sell you anything in the library. There is no pressure to buy and there is no judgment of your choices，” Anne Goulding, a professor at Victoria University of Wellington in New Zealand, wrote on the Newsroom website. “There are few other spaces that you can just be in without somebody questioning your presence or your motivation.”篇章导读：本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要说明了在数字化时代，实体图书馆存在的原因。9What cause(s) book lovers to like Tianjin Binhai Public Library?ABreathtaking magazines.BWorlds ultimate buildings.CDesign and book walls.DDigitalization.答案：C细节理解题。根据第一段中的“One look at the library and youll see why.
