I got to know this from a musical soul. The other day I was feeling quite 41 , having just been laid off from my job.

Through the 44 I saw a young lady sitting at a piano with a box next to her.She was singing songs about love and her sweet voice 45 me a bit. Then I stood there watching her playing, thinking that it must take 46 to perform on her own in front of hundreds of people she didnt know.She might have felt my 47 for she occasionally looked in my direction. By now I was telling myself that I could at least tell her how good she sounded. I walked 48 and put some money in her box and she expressed her thanks with a smile on her face.I asked her 49 , “Why are you playing the piano in the middle of this crowded place?”She explained to me that she sees so many 50 people in the world that she is trying to relieve the pain by 51 motivational(激励的)music.Instead of continuing my way home, I said to her, “I have been going through a 52 time lately, but youve made me 53 again.”“Im happy that I could be 54 to you,” she replied. “Why are you so sad?”I told her my story and said, “Im not so 55 about what to do.”“You see, heres the 56 ,” she responded. “When you were walking, your head was down.” She looked me in the eyes and went on, “Dont look defeated, because 57 es in different ways and if your head is down you might never see it. You should 58 more lift your head up.”I was really 59 by what she said! I did hold my head up and soon got through the difficult time.

Failure can also create fame(名声), just like William Hung, 21, a native of Hong Kong. Hung recently has made an agreement with US -based entertainment firms Koch Records and fuse Music Network. They will publish a full-length record, titled “The True Idol” on April 6. The idol (偶像) is a civil engineering student at the University of California at Berkeley. He did a version (改写本) of Ricky Martins “She Bangs” on the television show “American Idol 3, on January 27. The Fox TV singing contest searches for pop stars among ordinary people. In the case of Hung, however, his act was so bad that the judges cut him off in mid-act. Hungs response? “I already gave my best, so I have no regrets at all.” Thats good, because any mon person would have found plenty to regret: The off-key singing. The blue Hawaiian shirt worn with pants pulled up too high. The terrible dancing. The hips jerking (摇摆) to a beat that did not belong to the song, maybe not even to this planet. It was, by all accounts, bad. But, it was this very bad act that sold well. Marc Juris, president of Fuse, explained it this way: “Everyone of us is happily guilty of singing our favorite song at the top of our lungs with plete freedom, pletely off-key and pletely unworried. Thats what William did and immediately won the hearts of America.”Whatever it is, for the moment its big. Three websites devoted to Hung have gone up on the Internet in the past few weeks. Versions of his performance have been remixed with hip hop and techno music and have made it to the top 10 request list at a Chicago radio station. So, what does Hung think of this? “There were all these people saying things about me. A lot were saying I was very courageous and that I was great on the show, but some didnt have much respect for me and some were kind of mean.” Now he says hes not so sure whether to distance himself from the glamour (魅力) or to accept it. Returning to normal hasnt been easy. 63. What is the main idea of this passage?ASometimes an idol behaves quite foolishly. BHungs performance attracted the public eye. CHow an unsuccessful person became famous. DSuccess sometimes does not require hard work. 64Hung was popular in America for all the following reasons EXCEPT _ Ahis hips jerking Bhis off-key singing Chis excellent version Dhis shirt and pants 65What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 6 refer to?

DThe publics opinion. 66Which of the following shows the correct order of what happened to Hung? aThe entertainment firms made an agreement with Hung. bThe judges cut Hung off in mid-act in the singing contest. cHung became popular among Americans. dHung gave a terrible performance though he tried his best. e. Three websites put Hungs funny performance on the Internet. Aa, c, db, e Bd, b, e, c, a Ca, d, b, c, e Dd, b, a, e, c 67Why was Hung able to win the hearts of America? AHis success was based on his own hard work. BHe attracted peoples attention in the contest. CHe was good-looking though he didnt sing well. DHis character was pletely different from other idols CThe defeat of Lee Sedol, the worlds strongest Go (围棋) player, by a Google artificial intelligence (AI) program, looks like another milestone towards a world where puters can do almost anything a human can. It is not. There are uncountable things that only a human can do, and that no puter seems close to. The problem is that the purely human things are not economically useful to anyone. The things that puters can be taught to do are by contrast economically fantastic. But even the most powerful programs are not human, just as a shovel (铲车). They have no feelings. What they have is power, but this power is growing at a rate that should frighten us all.It might be less frightening if puters were truly intelligent, but even the most powerful networks are less human than monstrous Martians (火星人). Their power will be used to make money for the firms that finance their development, and then for others quick and clever enough to take advantage of the new world. It is far more likely that they will increase inequality and still further remove the middle classes as we move towards an hourglass (以金钱来衡量的) society in which everyone is either very rich or very poor and likely indebted.One of the ill effects of the spread of more intelligent puter networks is, at the same time, the spread of what might be called artificial stupidity. If AI is employed largely to replace unskilled labour, it is most productive when labour is kept unskilled or redefined that way. So much of the work in service industries is now simplified until it might be automated (自动化). And robots will never need pensions. AI is slowly reducing skilled work, like some forms of medical diagnosis, at the same time, as older doctors plain that the traditional human skills of diagnosis are falling out of medical training. The belief that everything worthwhile can be measured and then managed is far more damaging to humanity than the threat of artificial intelligence on its own.But no victory in plicated Go games can bring us closer to truly human-like puters.68. By mentioning the defeat of Lee Sedol, the author intends to tell us that _. A. puters can pletely replace humans in everything B. the power of puters is growing at a frightening rate C. humans are of no practical economic values to the society D. AI programs can not pare with humans economically 69. We can learn from Paragraph 2 that the power of puters will _. A. improve the quality of human life B. promote equality at work places C. widen the gap between the rich and the poorD. make contributions to human development 70. What does “artificial stupidity” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Unskilled workers bee stupid.B. AI is ruining medical training. C. puters dont need pensions.D. AI discourages skilled work. D For eighty four days old Santiago had not caught a single fish. At first a young boy, Manolin, had shared his bad fortune, but after the fortieth luckless day the boys father told his son to go in anotherboat. From that time on, Santiago worked alone. The boy loved the old fisherman andalways helpedhim with money and food. Usually, they would talk about the fish they had taken in luckier times or about American baseball after supper, while at night, alone in his cottage, Santiago dreamed of lions on the beaches of Africa, where he had gone on a sailing ship years before.He no longer dreamed of his dead wife. On the eighty-fifth day, Santiago set off to fish before dawn. Two of his baits (饵) were fresh tunas (金枪鱼) the boy had given him. Then he set his lines which went straight down into deep dark water. As the sun rose he saw other boats in toward shore. A man of war bird showed him where dolphin were chasing some flying fish. This time Santiago saw tuna jumping in the sunlight. A small one took the hook on hisline. Pulling the fish aboard, the old man
