A Elon Musk was bom in South Africa,in1971. A crazy fan of computers, by the age of twelve，Musk had written the code (代码)for his own video game, which he sold for a profit. He attended Queen’s University in Canada, and transferred (转到）to the University of Pennsylvania,where he earned two bachelor’s degrees,economics and physics. He was admitted to Stanford University in California, intending to earn a PhD in energy physics. FirstCompany —Zip2 Corporation In 1995, at the age of24,Musk dropped out of Stanford University after just two days of classes to start his first company Zip2Corporation.It was an online city guide that provided content for the new online versions of the New York Times and the Chicago Tribune newspapers. In1999,Musk got $22million from the sale of Zip2.Online Banking In1999, Elon Musk started X. com with $ 10 million dollars from the sale of Zip2. X. com was an online bank, and he is credited with inventing a method of securely transferring money using a receiver’s e-mail address. Paypal In 2000, X. com bought a company called Confinity,which had started an Internet money-transfer process called PayPal.Elon Musk dropped the online banking focus to concentrate on becoming a global payment transfer provider. In 2002, eBay bought Paypal for$1.5billion.Space Exploration Technologies In 2002，Elon Musk started SpaceX. He is a long-standing member of the Mars Society，a nonprofit organization that supports the exploration of Mars，and Musk is interested inbuilding a greenhouse on Mars.SpaceX has been developing rocket technology to enable Musk’s project. Tesla Motors In2004，Elon Musk cofounded Tesla Motors，of which he is the only product architect. Tesla Motors builds electric vehicles.The company has built an electric sports car,the Tesla Roadster.SolarCity In2006，Elon Musk cofounded SolarCity，a photovoltaics (光伏）products and services company with his cousin Lyndon Rive. 21. What was Elon Musk gifted in when he was young? A. Economics.B President Theodore Roosevelt’s letter to his son Dear Ted, I was glad to hear that you were to be confirmed.Secretary Root left on Monday and Governor Taft took his place.I have missed，and shall miss, Root badly. He has been the ablest, most generous and most disinterested friend and advisor that any President could hope to have; and immediately after leaving,he provided a great service by a speech at the Union League Club，in which he said in most effective fashion the very things I should have liked him to say；and hiswords, moreover, earned weight when addressing such an audience. Taft is a splendid fellow and will be an aid and comfort in every way. But, as mother says, he is too much like me to be able to give me as good advice as Mr. Root because of the very differences of character between us. If after fully thinking the matter over，you remain firmly convinced that you want to go into the army, well and good.I shall be rather sorry for your decision, because I have great confidence in you and I believe that in civil life you could probably win in the end a greater prize than if you go into the army—though, of course,a man can do well in the army.I know perfectly well that you will have hard times in civil life. Probably most young fellows when they have graduated from college, feel pretty depressed for the first few years.In ordinary cases, it at first seems as if their efforts were not leading anywhere，as if the pressure around the foot of the ladder was too great to permit getting up to the top. But I have faith in your ability and your power to force yourself to the front whenyou have once found out and taken your line. However, you and I and mother will talk the whole matter over when you come back here on Easter. 25. What mainly contributes to Mr. Root’s being a good advisor according to the President? A.His great generosity. B .His effective speech. C.Their differences in character.D.Their similarities in character.26.What did the President wish Ted to do? A. Lead a civil life. B.Do well in the army. C.Force himself to the front.D.Take post-graduate courses.27.What did the President say about most young people starting their life after graduation? A.They would make no efforts. B.They would have a hard life. C.They would look for a ladder.D. They would have no confidence. C Trailers(预告片）shouldn’t really be a hard thing to do：show some footage(镜头），get people excited, but don，t give too much away. It，s a practice that some movies struggle to do,with many eithergetting too enthusiastic about showing their big plot points，andothers simply not catching the magic of the movie. Considering that humans struggle with this practice so much，the folks over the 20th Century Fox decided to see what a computer could do，tasking IBM’s Watson,the supercomputer,with cutting together footage from upcoming Sci-Fi thriller,Morgan,to create the final trailer.(IBM Watson has done many things ；beat human competitors in quiz shows, created reserved recipes and described the contents of photos. Now it has become the first-ever AI to produce a film trailer for the new sci-fi film. ) The result was actually surprisingly ing Watson’s experimental learning techniques,IBM’s cutting edge AI sorted out hundreds of classic thriller trailers to learn what exactly gets an audience to that special place of being both scared and entertained.With that knowledge firmly in place,Watson processed the entire Morgan movie, selecting the10most thrilling and frightening moments to cut together into a trailer. “Watson was able to model the scenes visually in order to determine:was a scene scary?Was it a tendermoment? Was there sadness, or happiness?”said IBM’s John Smith. Although a human editor was still needed to slice the scenes together to tell a coherent story, the AI shortened the process down to only 24 hours when it typically takes around 10 to 30 days to complete a trailer. Still, it，s a great impressive achievement,which the likes of Terminator：Genisys could perhaps learn from in the future. 28. What does the author think is amazing according to the text? A. Human editors taking 30 days to make a trailer. B. The 20th Century Fox having produced a thriller. C. IBM’s Watson having created a trailer for a thriller. D. Humans being able to learn from machines in the future.29. What did IBM researchers do before Watson cut together footage from the movie,Morgan? A.Teach him to beat chess competitors. B.Feed him over 100 horror trailers. C. Create reserved recipes. D. Talk about photos.30.What does the underlined word “coherent”in the last paragraph probably mean?A.Exciting.B.Reliable.C.Consistent.D.Exact.31.What can we guess is the mostdifficult to Watson AI? A. How long the trailer should be. B. How Watson appreciates the story.C.How many scenes a trailer needs.D.How Watson decides the feelings. D Crying is the sign of the rawest of human emotions. We cry when we can’t hold inside what we feel any more. We cry when we’re at our best, and when we’re at our worst.By we,I mean all of us.Men included. But we never see other men cry.In no western culture has it ever been acceptable for men to shed(流泪）more than a single tear, and even then it’s reserved for grand victories,defeats and deaths.Dutch research suggests that women cry between three and five times more than men. Generally men and women cry over the same things 一deaths, break-ups and homesickness, primarily, but researchers believe thatgetting too enthusiastic about showing their big plot points，and others simply not catching the magic of the movie.

Generally men and women cry over the same things 一deaths, break-ups and homesickness, primarily, but researchers believe thatmen cry more often than women when it comes to positive events. I want to admit，I'm a bit of a cryer. However ,having never really experienced deaths in my life, a few weeks ago I experienced what it means to really, truly, pour my heart out in tears. See, my dog 一and 24/7companion一was killed by a car right outside my house. Being a witness to this painful event left me in shock for a good hour, but then the floodgates opened. Over the next 48 hours, Imight have cried20times.Once or twice I crouched(蹲) on the floor with my head in my hands and tears were the only outlet. It is suggested in the book Adult Crying:A Biopsychosocial Approach that there’s a certain pleasure in crying. It helps ease stress when there is no other way to express ourselves. In those days after my dog's death，I remember thinking，“I’ve got to stop this crying”. It felt unmanly. It felt like a sign of weakness.I've since realized that tears are for everybody;they're not gender-specific.They show we have sympathy, allow us to get rid of stress and just feel. 32. What does the first paragraph mainly talk about? A.Crying is a raw human emotion. B. Crying is an emotion beyond control. C. Crying is an emotion showing sadness. D.
