17、B The African grey parrots ability to talk and mimic sounds makes it a charming companion. African grey owners often report that their greys oftentimes talk in context and can understand their peoples emotions(情感). The African grey parrot is not just a top talker this bird is also known for its extr
18、eme intelligence, which gives them the name “The Einsteins of the Bird World”. The bird is medium-sized, dusty-looking and almost pigeon-like. It has a bright red tail, intelligent orange eyes, and a stunning scalloped (扇形的) pattern to its feathers. Their diet in the wild consists mostly of nuts, se
19、eds, fruits, and leafy matter. At home, African greys need plenty of toys that challenge their intelligence, such as food searching and puzzle toys. Nutri-Berries by Lafeber Company are a perfect choice, which, with a balance of grains, seeds and other nutrients in the shape of a berry, encourages A
20、frican greys to hold, bite off, and even play with, just as they do in the wild. African greys seem especially affected by stress and disturbing noise in their environment and can be put more at ease by placing one corner of the cage against a wall as opposed to in the middle of a room. African grey
21、 parrots are more likely to suffer from lack of Vitamin-A/beta-carotene, and therefore benefit from eating vegetables high in beta-carotene, such as cooked sweet potato and fresh kale.

22、 such as Nutri-Berries, helps prevent vitamin and mineral shortage. 24. Why are African grey parrots called “The Einsteins of the Bird World”? A. Because of their brain size.B.

24、prefertostayinthemiddleoftheroom. 27. Where can we most probably find the passage? A. In a wildlife magazine.B. In science fiction. C. In a travel guide.D. On a shopping website. C Gretchen Altman is smiling, leaning back casually, a cup of coffee in hand Hills Bros. Coffee, to be precise. It looks
25、like a casual shot, but if you hit like, leave a comment, and tag a friend, you can get three different cups of coffee, for free. Altman is part of a growing trend of “micro-influencers“. She has a small following around 6,000 on Instagram (社交平台). Her going rate is $300 to $800 to promote something.
26、 She does some posts in exchange for free goods, as long as its stuff she believes in. As a micro-influencer she has a much closer relationship with her followers than a big social media star. “Im just living a normal life and people relate to that,“ she says. “They just feel like Im a friend of the
27、irs.“ But it worries consumer rights groups. Several recent studies have found that young audiences are largely unable to understand when something is sponsored content. In some cases, its clear. When a big star takes to a social media to advertise Coca-Cola, for example, the assumption is that he o
28、r shes probably getting paid to do so. And the posts are clearly labeled as ads, with the caption “advertisement“ or “sponsored content“. But what happens when an everyday person with just a couple thousand followers takes to social media to extol(颂扬) the virtues of a product? The motivations are no
29、t so clear-cut. The problem with these social media posts is that you dont know whether its an ad or not. Altman is diligent about using those hashtags(标签). She loves what she does and sees it as a business, but she doesnt necessarily want to be a social media celebrity. “With social media being so
30、integrated into our everyday lives, we have this unique opportunity that I dont think anyone has ever had before where we can each be our own brand,“ Altman says. 28.What does a micro-influencer do according to the passage? A. Offer enough likes.B. Recommend some comments. C. Post to increase sales.
31、D. Create advertisements. 29.What makes consumer rights groups feel worried? A. Ads with caption on posts.B. The unclear motivations of the posts. C. Sponsored ads content.D. The increasingly growing number of audiences 30. How does Gretchen Altman feel about being a micro-influencer? A. PleasedB. U
32、pset.C. Ambitious.D. Disappointed. 31. Which of the following can be the best title? A. We Can Each Be Our Own Top Brand B. To be a Micro-influencer or to be a Big Star C. Hills Bros. Coffee, Your CoffeeD. Instagram Advertising: Do You Know It, When You See It D When it comes to work, workers, and j
33、obs, much of the concern of the modern age boils down to the fear that were witnessing the final stage of the game, and that there will be nowhere for humans to withdraw as machines take over the last few tasks. The most recent example comes from the use of artificial intelligence (AI). Is there no
34、area of human experience that cant be replaced by AI? And if not, what is left for humans to do except the tasks involved in taking care of the machines? At the heart of this concern is our desire for good jobs jobs that make the most of workers 4 natural abilities and where the work provides the wo
35、rker with motivation and work-life balance. More importantly, good jobs support workers in learning by doingand, in so doing, deliver benefits on three levels: to the worker, who gains in personal development and job satisfaction; to the organization, which reforms as staff find new problems to solv
36、e and opportunities to pursue; and to the community as a whole, which harvests the economic benefits of hosting positive organizations and workers. This is what makes good jobs productive for the organization, as well as engaging and fulfilling for the worker. Does the ongoing advance of AI threaten
37、 to get rid of all the learning, creativity, and meaning that make a job a good job? Certainly, some have blamed technology for just such an outcome. Headlines today often express concern over technological innovation(革新) resulting in bad jobs for humans, or even the complete disappearance of certai
38、n professions. Some fear that further technology advancement in the workplace will result in jobs where employees are being asked to work in split times or for longer periods over more days. The problem here isnt the technology; rather, its the way the technology is used and, more than that, the way
39、 people think about using it. 32. What is the passage mainly about? A. How to take care of the AI machines. B. The relations among work, workers, and jobs. C. The human fears in the age of AI. D. Human experiences were replaced by AI. 33. What jobs are supposed to be good according to the passage? A
40、. Those that mainly have the economic benefits. B. The ones that offer chances to progress professionally. C. Those that make full use of workers motivation. D. The ones that dont bring new problems to workers. 34. How do news media respond to the development of AI? A. Negative.B. Supportive.C. Opti
41、mistic.D. Ambiguous. 35. What will the author probably talk about next? A. The future jobs humans will do.B.ThepossibleapplicationofAIinthefuture. C.ThewaystodealwiththeissuesofAI.D. The proper attitude towards AI. 第二节第二节(共共 5 小题；每小题小题；每小题 2 分，共分，共 10 分分) 根据短文内容，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。根据短
