White chocolate, German chocolate, ice cream: There are hundreds of types of birthday cake in the world, each beautiful in its own sugary way. You are likely to enjoy one during at least one (hopefully all) of your birthday parties. But in between delicious bites of cake, have you ever stopped and wondered, “Why am I eating this? What makes this dessert fit to celebrate the day of my birth?” It’s because you are as important and beloved as the gods. Kind of. The ancient Egyptians are thought to have “invented” the celebration of birthdays. They believed when pharaohs (法老) were crowned, they became gods, so their coronation (加冕) day was a pretty big deal. That was their “birth” as a god. Ancient Greeks borrowed the tradition, but realized that a dessert would make the celebration all the more meaningful. So they baked moon-shaped cakes to offer up to Artemis, goddess of the moon. They decorated them with lighted candles to make the cakes shine like the moon. Hence, it is the reason why we light our birthday cakes on fire. Modern birthday parties are said to get their roots from the 18th century German celebration “Kinderfeste”. On the morning of a child’s birthday, he or she would receive a cake with lighted candles that added up to the kid’s age, plus one. This extra candle was called the “light of life,” representing the hope of another full year lived. And then, torture — because no one could eat the cake until after dinner. The family replaced the candles as they burned out throughout the day. Finally, when the moment came, the birthday child would make a wish, try to blow out all the candles in one breath, and dig in. Like modern tradition, the birthday girl or boy wouldn’t tell anyone the wish so it would come true. Since the ingredients (原料) to make cakes were pretty expensive, this birthday custom didn’t become popular until the Industrial Revolution. More ingredients were available, which made them cheaper, and bakeries even started selling pre-baked cakes. 【1】What is the passage mainly about? A.The origin of birthday cakes. B.The significance of birthday cakes. C.The history of birthday parties. D.The introduction of cake production. 【2】Who established the tradition of celebrating birthdays with cakes according to the passage? A.Germans. B.Pharaohs. C.Ancient Greeks. D.Ancient Egyptians. 【3】The underlined word “torture” in Paragraph 6 is closest in meaning to ________. A.pleasure B.replacement C.sharing D.suffering 【4】Why was the birthday cake custom unpopular before the Industrial Revolution? A.The transport was inconvenient. B.The ingredients of cakes were expensive. C.The cake could not be eaten before dinner. D.The bakeries would not sell pre-baked cakes. |

Computers have become so smart during the past 20 years that people don’t think twice about chatting with digital assistants like Alexa and Siri. But that required hard work from computer scientists like YoshuaBengio, Geoffrey Hinton, and Yann LeCun. They tapped into their own brainpower to make it possible for machines to learn like humans, a breakthrough now commonly known as “artificial intelligence”, or AI. Their insights and persistence were rewarded with the Turing Award, an honor that has become known as technology industry’s version of the Nobel Prize. The award marks the latest recognition of the instrumental role that artificial intelligence will likely play in redefining the relationship between humanity and technology in the decades ahead. Over the past 30 years, Mr. Bengio, Mr. Hinton, and Mr. LeCun have mostly worked separately on technology known as neural (神经的) networks. These are the electronic engines that power tasks such as facial and speech recognition, areas where computers have made huge improvements over the past decade. Such neural networks also are a key part of robotic systems that are automating a wide range of other human activities, including driving. Their belief in the power of neural networks was once looked down upon. “For a long time, people thought what we were doing was nonsense,” Mr. Hinton said in an interview with The Associated Press. “They thought we were very misguided and what we were doing was a very surprising thing for apparently intelligent people to waste their time on. My message to young researchers is, don’t be put off if everyone tells you what you are doing is silly.” While the AI revolution is raising hopes that computers will make most people’s lives more convenient and enjoyable, it’s also arousing fears that humanity eventually will be living at the mercy of machines. Mr. Bengio, Mr. Hinton, and Mr. LeCun are also concerned that AI technology might be developed into weapon systems that wipe out humanity. But they are far more optimistic about the other prospects of AI — empowering computers to deliver more accurate warnings about floods and earthquakes, or detecting health risks, such as cancer and heart attacks, far earlier than human doctors. 【1】Why does the author mention Alexa and Siri in the first paragraph? A.To introduce the topic of AI. B.To stress the significance of computers. C.To distinguish between types of AI. D.To encourage the use of digital assistants. 【2】What role do neural networks play in AI? A.They make electronic engines work. B.They match up people’s faces with voices. C.They contribute to robotic automation. D.They enable humans to learn like machines. 【3】Why are people concerned about AI? A.It is a total waste of money. B.It is likely to bring disasters to human beings. C.It is a real risk to public health. D.It is ineffective in forecasting natural disasters. 【4】What is the best title for the passage? A.What Is AI? B.AI Scientists Rescuing Human Beings C.Why Is AI Popular? D.AI Pioneers Awarded Tech’s “Nobel Prize” |

Dear Teenage Self, Oh, how I wish you could see what I see now. I’m older, and life has made me wiser. Nothing is the way I thought it would be. It’s so much better. When I look back, I see you as one person but I know there were two of you: one that the world saw and the private one that only you knew. I remember the nights and days filled with worry, sadness, and confusion. I remember being both of you. I remember the smile I would show to my friends and then I remember the tears no one knew that I cried behind my closed bedroom door. Oh, how I wish I knew that everything would be okay someday. But, I probably wouldn’t have believed it at the time. Oh, how I remember those teenage years as the most painful years of my life. Living under a microscope. Everything was magnified (放大). I know it’s hard to believe, but your teenage feelings, friendships, family, and appearance are way out of proportion (比例). You think that whatever happens will stay that way forever. Nothing is farther from the truth. Steve Carrell said it best in Little Miss Sunshine after Paul Dano told him that he just wants to go to sleep and wake up when he’s 18. Steve Carrell answered, “What? High school — those are your prime suffering years. They don’t get better suffering than that.” “Do you know Marcel Proust? He had a painful life. He gets to the end of his life and he looks back and decides that all those years he suffered, those were the best years of his life because they made him who he was. All those years when he was happy, you know ... a total waste. He didn’t learn a thing. Sleep until you’re 18? Think of the suffering you’ll miss.” It’s hard to believe, but it’s true. Your teenage years were the best suffering of your life. Those painful breakups, lonely nights, and tears cried are the times that make you stronger, smarter and sculpt (塑造) you to become the rock-solid adult that you will become. 【1】Who might be the writer of the letter? A.Paul Dano. B.Marcel Proust. C.An adult. D.A teenager. 【2】By “Nothing is farther from the truth”, the writer means that ________. A.nothing stays the same B.teenage feelings are easy to hurt C.everything remains unchanged D.teenage years are hard to tolerate 【3】What can we infer from Steve Carrell’s words? A.Adolescence is disappointing. B.Adolescence promotes personal growth. C.Blaming others is meaningless. D.Sleeping late benefits teenagers’ health. 【4】Which of the following sayings best expresses the main idea of the passage? A.It is never too late to learn. B.A friend in need is a friend indeed. C.Actions speak louder than words. D.There is a rainbow after every storm. |

What’s in a logo? What attracts customers?【1】 It is not only the image provided by the packaging that counts but the whole corporate identity (企业形象) of the company.

It is important, therefore, for a company to distinguish itself from its competitors by having a strong company image which is immediately recognizable. Logos are part of this image.【2】 The logo establishes a visual identity for the company, just as different groups of young people express their identity through hairstyles and clothes. All groups from all cultures and throughout the ages have used colours and symbols to show their identity. 【3】 Some colours may be connected with coldness in one culture and with warmth in another; some colours represent life in one culture but death in another. International companies have, therefore, to make sure that their logos will not be misunderstood or misinterpreted in different countries. The logos of large international companies are instantly recognizable throughout the world.【4】 The design of the words “Coca Cola” has not changed since 1886, although the surrounding design has been changed from time to time. Companies need to have a strong corporate identity. The logo helps to promote this image and to fix it in the minds of the consumers.【5】 A. One of the most famous logos is that of Coca Cola. B. Colour isn’t a strictly visual element; it’s very psychological. C. In different cultures, different colours carry different meanings. D. Logos, therefore, need to be original and to have impact and style. E. There was a time when Coca Cola was struggling a bit with brand recognition. F. Obviously the quality of a product does, but visual images contribute a great deal. G. They are symbols which often include a name or the first letters of it to identify a company. |
