But this morning was dif
9、ferent. Because of the heavy snowfall last night, almost everyone at the bus stop rushed inside Timmys bus to avoid the cold, making the bus more crowded than ever. After twenty minutes, he arrived at his first stop for the day. A few passengers got off the bus. While the bus was still crowded, it a
10、ppeared to have more space. Timmy breathed a sigh of relief and continued on his way to the next stop of the day. However, he was amazed to hear the bus passengers arguing. “I dont know whats wrong with the kids these days! ” Timmy heard a young man complaining loudly. Timmy immediately looked in th
11、e driving mirror. But there were so many passengers that he couldnt find out who had expressed his displeasure. “Look at those big eyes just staring at you!

12、d in the mirror again, he noticed a middle- aged woman standing beside an elderly woman, looking with dissatisfaction at a window seat where Jonathan was seated. “Well, ” the elderly woman spoke up. “I dont mind standing here. As we know, many teenagers get up earlier than we do and often feel tired
13、. ”Timmy didnt say anything. He continued driving until the second stop arrived. He slowly rose from his seat, removed a set of crutches (腋杖) , and got close to Jonathans seat.

17、 to communicate.American farmers are using an ancient tree from India to produce beans for making protein- rich foods and biofuels (生物燃料) . The tree is called Pongamia (水黄皮) . Farmers in the southern state of Florida have found Pongamia trees grow well there too. They have now replaced citrus (柑橘) t
18、rees, which have long faced major struggles with disease. Pongamia trees like hot temperatures and can survive in dry or rainy conditions. They also do not require special chemicals to kill insects and other life that might threaten growth. Climate and disease have little effect on Pongamia trees. T
19、hey are so strong that they can survive in the terrible situations even without much care. Pongamia trees can produce small brown beans. The beans can be used in the production of several products, including cooking oil and protein- rich foods. The beans can also be used to produce a kind of biofuel
20、, mostly for airplanes. Unlike oranges and other citrus fruits, the beans do not require much effort to pick. Instead, they can be collected with a machine that shakes the trees to make them fall to the ground. A San Francisco- based company has invented a process that removes something from the bea
21、ns that gives them a bad taste, allowing the beans to be used for food production. Experts said that turning the wild trees into an agricultural success story was not easy. There are no books to read on the subject, and no one else has ever tried it. John Olson is a Florida farmer who replaced his c
22、itrus trees with 87 hectares of Pongamia. He had little choice because, for the most part, the citrus trees died of disease, and the citrus industry has died in Florida, too. Olson said his citrus business made money throughout the 1980s and 1990s, although the farm was not large.8Which of the follo
23、wing fits Pongamia trees?AThey suffer from disease easily.BThey grow slowly even with much care.CThey require special chemicals to kill insects.DThey can survive in the bad natural environment.9What does paragraph 4 mainly tell us about Pongamia beans?ATheir special taste.BTheir practical value.CThe
24、ir production process.DTheir growing environment.10Which word best describes the way of collecting Pongamia beans?AEasy.BCostly.CStupid.DTroublesome.11What made John Olson give up his citrus trees?AThe size of the farm.BThe buying price.CThe plant disease.DThe request from the company.New technologi
25、es can kill some old jobs, but they can also create new jobs. What is the balance between these two things? A new research project led by Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) economist David Autor and his workmates has developed a completely new method for studying the problem. Since the last
26、 century, Autor and his workmates have searched about 35, 000 jobs listed in the US, followed how they appeared over time and found the connections between new technologies and their effects. That has allowed them, for the first time, to measure the effects of technology upon both job loss and job c
27、reation: How many jobs have been lost to machines, and how many jobs have been created through augmentation (增大) , in which technology creates new tasks. You can think of automation (自动化) as a machine that takes a job, and augmentation as a technology that increases the variety and quality of human
28、work. Over the years, there appears to have been a faster speed of automation, and a slower speed of augmentation. The study finds, from 1980 to the present, jobs like elevator operators are getting automated. But at the same time, more workers filled roles such as buyers and department heads, where
29、 technology has created a need for more employees. Automation and augmentation often happen within the same industries. Within the same large firm, for example, there may be fewer machinists but more systems analysts. “AI is really different, ” Autor says. “It may substitute some expert knowledge or
30、 skills, but may add decision-making tasks. It takes a while to figure them out. For example, it took years for GPS to be in smartphones. ” All the measures show automation and its effects on displacing workers. As humans, we are surprised that we can improve augmentation.12What do Autor and his wor
31、kmates mainly work on?AThe key to searching for jobs.BThe solutions to taking up new tasks.CThe application of machines to industry.DThe effects of new technologies on jobs.13How does the author explain automation and augmentation in paragraph 3?ABy using real numbers.BBy guessing.CBy telling histor
32、ical stories.DBy comparing.14What does the underlined word “substitute” in the last paragraph probably mean?ATake the place of.BDepend on.CTake full responsibility for.DConcentrate on.15What is the best title for the text?AIs AI the Most Important Technology?BAre New Technologies Job Killers or Crea
33、tors?CWhich Is Better, Automation or Augmentation?DWho Are More Effective, Humans or Machines?Improving your daily meals can greatly improve your health and add enjoyment to your life. Simple changes can make dining more delightful and uplifting, contributing to your overall happiness. 16 Not just c
34、ount the nutrients (营养素) . Some people are in the habit of always counting their calories. Food does mainly provide nutrition, which keeps you fit and strong. 17 So dont just think about the calories, but think about how the delicious food will give you energy, making you happy! Enjoy the process. E
35、ating a meal starts before mealtime. If you are the one preparing and cooking the meal, chances are that you buy the ingredients, prepare the food, cook it, and then sit down to eat. 18 Find meal ideas that make you excited. Cook with background music. And then set a beautiful table and enjoy the fr

Sitting together to have a meal as a family is a great way to try new foods and to get the whole family involved in the preparation too. You get to create memories and hopefully take
