My parents divorced and I moved to a new town with my father, far from my old family and friends. I was
10、terribly lonely and would cry myself to sleep each night. To ease my sadness, my father purchased an old horse for me at a local market. I named him Cowboy. Cowboy was undoubtedly the ugliest horse in the world. But I didnt care. I loved him beyond all reason. I joined a riding club and suffered rud
11、e comments and mean snickers about Cowboys looks. I never let on about how I felt, but deep inside, my heart was breaking. The other members rode beautiful, registered horses. When Cowboy and I entered the events where the horse is judged on appearance, we were quickly shown the gate. No amount of p
12、reparation and love would turn Cowboy into a beauty. My only chance to compete would be in the speed events. I chose the jumping race. One girl named Becky rode a big brown horse in the race events. She always won the blue ribbons. Needless to say, she didnt feel threatened when I competed against h
13、er at the next show. She didnt need to. I came in next to last. The stinging memory of Beckys smirks(得意的笑) made me determined to beat her. For the whole next month I woke up early every day and rode Cowboy five miles to the arena. We practiced running and jumping for hours in the hot sun and then I
14、would walk Cowboy home totally exhausted. All of our hard work didnt make me feel confident by the time the show came. I sat at the gate and sweated it out while I watched Becky and her horse charge through the course and finish in first place. My turn finally came. I put on my hat, rubbed Cowboys n
15、eck and entered the arena. At the signal, we dashed toward the first fence, jumped it without trouble and raced on to the next one. Cowboy then flew over the second, third and fourth fences like a bird and I turned him toward the finish line. As we crossed the line the crowd was shocked into silence
16、. Cowboy and I had beaten Becky and her fancy horse by two seconds! I gained much more than a blue ribbon that day. At thirteen, I realized that no matter what the odds, Id always come out a winner if I wanted something badly enough to work for it. 5. Why was the writer unconfident of victory? A. He

19、t background music? But have you ever noticed the smell? Unless it is bad, the answer is likely to be no. But while a shops scent may not be outstanding compared with sights and sounds, it is certainly there. And it is providing to be an increasing powerful tool in encouraging people to purchase. A
20、brand store has become famous for its distinctive scent which floats through the fairly dark hall and out to the entrance, via scent machines. A smell may be attractive but it may not just be used for freshening air. One sports goods company once reported that when it first introduced scent into its
21、 stores, customers intention to purchase increased by 80 percent. When it comes to the best shopping streets in Paris, scent is just as important to a brands success as the quality of its window displays and goods on sales. That is mainly because shopping is a very different experience to what it us
22、ed to be. Some years ago, the focus for brand name shopping was on a few people with sales assistants disproving attitude and dont-touch-what-you-cant-afford displays. Now the rise of electronic commerce (e-commerce) has opened up famous brands to a wider audience. But while e-shops can use sights a
23、nd sounds, only bricks-and-mortar stores (实体店) can offer a full experience from the minute customers step through the door to the moment they leave. Another brand store seeks to be much more than a shop, but rather a destination. And scent is just one way to achieve this. Now a famous store uses com
24、plex man-made smell to make sure that the soft scent of baby powder floats through the kid department, and coconut scent in the swimsuit section. A department store has even opened a new lab, inviting customers on a journey into the stores windows to smell books, pots and drawers, in search of their
25、 perfect scent. 8. What is an increasingly powerful tool in the success of some brand store? A. A friendly assistant. B. Unique scents. C. Soft background music. D. Attractive window display. 9.

27、 target that a store expects to meet 11. What is the purpose of the text? A. To compare and evaluate. B. To examine and assess. C. To argue and discuss. D. To inform and explain. D Researchers from the Water, Peace and Security partnership (WPS) have announced the creation of a global forecasting to
28、ol that can predict where conflicts arising from water insecurity are most likely to break out. The system uses artificial intelligence to create patterns from a wide rage of geographical and socio-economic data and can identify potential conflict hotspots up to a year in advance. Susan Schme, a sen
29、ior lecturer at Delft Institute for Water Education, which leads the WPS, explains predicting these types of conflicts isnt as simple as it might first appear. It isnt simply a case of conflicts increasing every time a water security incident occurs. Several regional and cultural factors also play a
30、 part, making prediction difficult. The researchers test-ran the AI tool in Mali. They found that it predicted more than three-quarters of the water-related conflicts there. To achieve this, the system is fed with a variety of data. “First theres the natural side of thingsso rainfall data, soil mois
31、ture and many other natural factors,” explains Schme. This enables it to identify areas where availability of water is likely to become a concern. “Then we also look at vulnerability in terms of socio-economic and political developments anything from a regime type to the state of development in a re
32、gion,” she adds. This additional information is weighed up to determine whether it increases or decreases the chance of conflict. Other factors might include whether the water insecurity is likely to affect crops. The tool is just one part of a wider WPS project that aims to increase the availabilit
33、y of information which could help avoid water-related conflicts. Once artificial intelligence has made its predictions the WPS researchers use other analytical tools to zoom-in on a certain region and find out exactly whats driving water insecurity. This might be decreased rainfall, increased popula
34、tion, or water might be being diverted away from a community. The designers are now undergoing final tests of the new AI tool to make sure its ready for a November launch date. Once widely available, Schme hopes that it will be used by local governments and also by international organizations with a
35、n interest in maintaining global stability. 12. What is the function of the tool? A. Collecting all kinds of data. B. Predicting conflict hotspots. C. Ensuring security of water. D. Stopping breakout of water pipe. 13. How did the AI tool work in Mali? A. The government discourages it. B. More impro
36、vement is needed. C. It works quite effectively. D. It attracts public attention. 14. What is related to the water-related conflicts in Mali? A. Its climate. B. Its lifestyle. C. Its agriculture. D. Its population. 15. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. Peoples attitude to the AI tool. B. S
37、tudy process of the AI tool. C. Designers of the AI tool. D. The future of the AI tool. 第二节 (共 5 小题;每小题 2.5 分, 满分 12.5 分) 阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余 选项。 Travelling with friends can be an absolutely amazing experience where you could make lifelong memories or it could end up ruining your
