(23) _(endure) 90 degree plus heat，they had no idea when it would be over. However, the most amazing thing happened. (24)_the reality of the crisis s

People shared their food, ice, and gasoline. People who still had power opened their homes to 4 (26)_ who had none. People rushed out to

People gathered in their gardens (27)_ they shared hugs and offered words of hope and faith that they would see themselves through it all. Strangers came together as
19、 one family to help each other in this time of great need. Most people acted like heroes under the most difficult circumstances.

Like tech, fashion is forward-looking and cyclical. And today, fashion techno
22、logy is growing at a faster pace than ever. Robots that sew and cut, AI algorithms(算法) that forecast style trends, clothes that are worn in virtual reality a collection of innovations show how technology _31_ the fashion design process. To seize the opportunity to produce more income _32_ and busine
23、ss models, fashion companies try to _33_ with technology providers, grab startups, and even build their own tech. Meanwhile, as the industry faces an overdue count of its environmental and social impacts, it is reexamining processes across the value chain in an attempt to reinvent itself. For exampl
24、e, artificial intelligence will reshape brands approach to product design and development, with a focus on the _34_ of what customers will want to wear next. But algorithms arent taking the place of human designers any time soon. If theres anything that fashion houses experiments have shown, its tha
25、t human involvement is _35_ to commanding the new ideas provided by AI and translating them into appealing, wearable clothes for now. Tech companies are pouring in. One IT giant has already tested the water of user-driven AI fashion design with Project Muze. The project trained a system to understan
26、d _36_ colors and style preferences, based on trend data _37_ from an online fashion platform. From there, Project Muze used an algorithm to create designs to tailor to customers real needs. 5 As a new player, another e-commerce giant, with the project Lab126, is trying to learn about a particular f
27、ashion style and then create similar _38_. Without designers or past experiences, its like creating from scratch. If that sounds like “fast fashion for sale,” its because it probably is. The company has already _39_ a manufacturing system to make on-demand clothes-making a reality. Of course, the ou
28、tcomes of these AI designs arent always runway-ready. Many designs created for users of Project Muze were unwearable drafts and some people consider the designs of the Lab126 _40_. III. Reading Comprehension Section A Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrase
29、s marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. Against all our wishes, advertising works, which is why, even in hard economic times, Madison Avenue is a $34-billionayear business. And if Martin Lindstrom, a marketing consultant is correct, trying to _4
30、1_ the advertisement is about to get especially hard. 83% of all forms of advertising principally _42_ only one of our senses: sight. Hearing, however, can be just as powerful, though advertisers have taken only limited advantage of it. Historically, ads have relied on slogans(广告语) to catch our ear,
31、 _43_ everyday sounds a steak sizzling(发嘶嘶声), a baby laughing and other sounds we cant help paying attention to. Weave these everyday sounds into an ad campaign and we customers may be _44_ to resist them. According to Lindstrom, the everyday sound that is most impressive，both in terms of interest a
32、nd _45_ feelings, is a baby laughing. The other high-ranking sounds are also powerful-the sound of a car engine or a soda being poured. In all of these cases, it doesnt need an experienced advertisement designer to invent the sounds, associate them with meanings and then play them over and over unti
33、l the subjects _46_ them. Rather, the everyday sounds already have meanings and thus can cause a kind of _47_: hunger, thirst or happy expectation. Some TV ads have already given viewers close-up shots of meat with sizzling sounds. And retailers are _48_. Lindstrom is now consulting with clients, in
34、tending to pipe the sound of filtering coffee or fizzing soda into the drink department or that of a baby laughing sound into the baby-food section. Of course, this doesnt mean that advertisers can just press the audio button _49_ and consumers will come eagerly. Indeed, sometimes customers flee. In
35、 the early years of cell-phone use, the ringtone(铃音) of a famous cell phone brand was recognized by many people in the U.K., 6 but soon it became widely _50_. That, Lindstrom says, was partly because so few users observed cell-phone manners and _51_ accidents kept happening in places like movie thea
36、ters. The computer start-up sound has taken on the similarly negative _52_, because people so often hear it when theyre restarting the computer after it _53_. In these cases, manufacturers themselves may as well revise the bothersome sound or _54_ it entirely. Lindstroms experiment also shows that p
37、eople respond to a sound better when its _55_. If nothing else, smart marketers may at least keep the volume low. 41. A. tune out B. admit to C. depend on D. take over 42. A. evaluate B. spoil C. engage D. portray 43. A. classifying B. ignoring C. challenging D. representing 44. A. sensible B. selfi
38、sh C. powerless D. pleasant 45. A. hollow B. positive C. violent D. foreign 46. A. infer B. reject C. internalize D. perform 47. A. consumption B. reaction C. favor D. spread 48. A. following suit B. cooling down C. losing heart D. taking risks 49. A. on guard B. with ease C. under way D. in reality
39、 50. A. disliked B. observed C. represented D. enveloped 51. A. objective B. temporary C. mysterious D. annoying 52. A. association B. agreement C. tip D. symptom 53. A. responded B. revived C. crashed D. persisted 54. A. replace B. rescue C. balance D. refund 55. A. optional B. random C. specific D

42、 time that he had brought with him what he needed, Simon got onto his boat and sailed into the vast blue sea. Before long. he was anchoring(固定) his boat in the middle of the sea. Satisfied with the spot, he cast his net, hoping for a good catch. Simon then relaxed on the deck and watched the sun ris

At that moment, there was 7 a sudden strike of lightning, followed by a shout of thunder. The entire sky was suddenly filled with dark clouds. Wave after wave rolled up, hitting his boat an
44、d sending it rocking violently sideways. A sense of hopelessness drowned him but when images of his family flashed across his mind, he knew what he had to do.
