When I graduated from the University of Iowa last year，I did something my friends did not understand. I left Iowa，where I had friends and stability，to live on a small houseboat near San Francisco. At school，I had found a job driving a school bus so people asked， “Why on earth are you leaving？”
Well，at graduation I was presented with two things — a degree in psychology and a question. It was the same one that many in my generation got: “What do I do now？” It was as difficult as it was mon. That’s because many people at my age were raised with the same words，repeated over and over by parents， teachers and TV，that you “can be whatever you want to be.” As a young boy，every time when I was puzzled about my future，they would say that they would be happy if I was happy. However，what I needed was concrete advice but not a vague idea，for example，“be a doctor，or be a bus driver.”
My experience was by no means universal. Many Americans are taught by their parents that the only purpose in life is to attain money and power. As a goal， this seems much easier and clearer than finding “happiness” or “gentleness”. The result of this upbringing is that many of my classmates did not specialize in any particular skill，rather assuming that something would magically happen to overe their problems. They often get a real shock when they enter the“real world”and find that their options are very limited. Many of my friends have taken jobs as waiters or cooks after graduating，or have moved back in with their parents.
My life on the boat is hard at times，especially during storms. But this is my small attempt to be happy on my own. I’m not buying into my nation’s idea of limitless possibilities because I feel that stops the growth of many of today’s youth.
25.Why were the friends confused about the writer’s leaving?
A. He was tired of driving. B. He suddenly quit school.
C. He would lose his friends. D. He would lead a changing life.
26.What does the author think of the guidance he got from American society?
A. It’s specific. B. It’s wrong. C. It’s general. D. It’s correct.
27. What directly caused a lot of Americans to have jobs lower than their expectations?
A. Their achievable goals. B. The practical guidance.
C. Being shocked by the real world. D. Lacking professional petence.
28.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A.Stay where you are. B.Be whatever you want to be.
C.Blind faith in an industrial society.D.Mistaken belief in limitless possibilities.
C
When a mathematics student was examined in the hospital，Dr. John Lorber discovered that he had almost no brain at all. Normally，the condition is quite severe in the first months of childhood. Even when someone survives he or she is usually seriously disabled. Somehow， though， the student had lived a perfectly normal life and went on to gain a degree in mathematics. This case is by no means as rare as it seems.
Professor Lorber has identified (确认）several hundred people who have very small brains but who appear to be normal intelligent people. Some of them he describes as having “no detectable brain”，yet they have scored up to 120 on IQ tests.
No one knows how people with “no detectable brain” are able to function at all，let alone
graduate in mathematics. One suggestion is the old idea that we only use a small percentage of our brains anyway — perhaps as little as 10 per cent. But more recent research shows this idea is a misunderstanding dating from research in the 1930s in which the functions of large areas of the brain could not be determined and were named “silent”，while in fact they are linked with important functions like speech and abstract thinking.
The other interesting thing about Lorber’s findings is that they remind us of the secret of memory. At first it was thought that there is a part in the brain for memory， like the memory chips in a PC. But further research of the brain has turned up the surprising fact that memory does not depend on any particular area in the brain. As one scientist put it，“Memory is everywhere in the brain and nowhere. ”
But if the brain is not a place for classifying and storing experiences and analyzing them to enable us to live our lives，then what on earth is the brain for？ And where is the seat of human intelligence？ Where is the mind？
29.What will usually happen to a very young baby without brain？
A. It will die. B. It will survive.C. It will be intelligent. D. It will bee disabled.
30.What is the new finding of the functions of brain？
A. Much of the brain is useful. B. The brain is in fact of no use.
C. The brain determines one’s IQ. D. Only a small part of the brain is used.
31.What do we know about the existence of memory？
A. We use all of our brain. B. We have memory chips.
C. We are fully aware of it. D. We are still confused about it.
D
panies that have invested (投资）heavily in big data want to know how to make smart investments that will distinguish them from the petition and enable the best possible return before making the decision to go all in. In the past，not all enterprises’big data plans went as planned. These failures are not usually published， but the big data failure rate is unusually high.
According to Gartner，only 15% of businesses make it past the experimental stage of these
projects. Our fear，as leaders of technology panies，is that with so much attention surrounding AI，the pressure is on to apply the technology without first setting clear business goals and understanding the differences between AI and ML (machine learning) and how they should be applied，thus risking falling behind the many decision makers who are adopting the technology.
It’s easy to get caught up in the great expectations of artificial intelligence as it’s promoted，including breakthroughs like deep learning，but those looking to make an outsized influence should instead focus on good old-fashioned machine learning — or “cheap learning”.
The distinction is simple: Cheap learning is about using basic machine learning techniques on straightforward data sets in different parts of a pany to produce a large number of small， gradual improvements. Deep learning，on the other hand，is a specific part of machine learning. Deep learning is a collection of advanced machine learning approaches that make business decisions based on highly plex data sets possible.
For tasks of analyzing raw data，such as images and voice recordings，deep learning is best. But when it es to working on simplified，structured types of data，we’ve found cheap machine learning will do the trick. When you consider that the majority of data flowing through enterprises falls into this second category，it’s clear which tool makes the most sense.
32. What do we know about investment in big data from the first paragraph?
A. Is secret. B. Is safe. C. Is risky. D. Is fruitful.
33. Which of the following adds to the pressure on the leading technology panies?
A. Understanding AI and ML. B. Wasting too much time on AI.
C. Falling behind other panies. D. Acting with unclear business goals.
34. What should panies with ambitions concentrate on?
A. A strong influence. B. Big breakthroughs.
C. Cheap learning. D. Deep learning.
35. What does the underlined phrase “do the trick” in the last paragraph refer to?
A. Invest. B. Cheat. C. Function. D. Simplify.

These days when someone says a puter has a bug (臭虫)in it, usually they mean that there’s a problem with one of its programs. Maybe your puter crashed when you were in the middle of a game. 36 .
But back in the early days of puters，a woman named Grace Hopper was part of the team that discovered the very first puter bug.
37 She had been invited to help program a new puter, the job of which was to quickly deal with the math problems ships used to find their way. 38 Then it translated the patterns of holes into the math problems it was supposed to solve.
One afternoon in 1947 Hopper and her team were running a program. But the puter wasn’t giving them the right results. 39 They finally ended up taking the puter apart, looking for problems. What did they find? It was a dead moth (飞蛾)! The moth was blocking some of the holes on the paper — no wonder the puter didn’t know what to do.
Hopper knew that the term “bug” had been used before when there were problems with machines. But this was the first time a puter had ever had a bug. 40 Some people think Hopper was the first person to use the word “debug” to mean “get rid of the problems in a puter.”
A. What could be wrong?
B. Hopper was a mathematician.
C. Who had operated the puter?
D. Hopper was a hardworking scientist.
E. She thought it was funny that it was a real one.
F. Or you got an error message when you tried to go to a website.
G. The puter worked by reading instructions from a long piece of paper with holes in it.
