Bullying on campus is increasingly becoming a problem, but the move by the Sherrard School in California, to set equipment inside toilets to catch bullying incidents is getting a lot of attention.
The school has put up a campus alarm system in sensitive places such as toilets that employs voice recognition and sensitive word activation, so that if someone is being bullied, the system can alert members of staff by sending specific signals. The system uses artificial intelligence for voice recognition, but its effectiveness doesn't depend only on these technologies. More important than the technology are the members of the school staff that are arranged to respond quickly and effectively to the warning calls.
Basically, technology serves as a way of reporting instances of bullying to the school authorities. What is truly noteworthy is the authorities' realization that timely intervention is required to stop bullying. In most cases of bullying in schools, educators and the administrators have overlooked early warning signs. And this can, at times, prove fatal. For instance, in a recent tragic case in Indiana, three junior school students plotted and took the life of their 10-year-old classmate. If the school had paid closer attention to the bullying, the tragedy could perhaps have been prevented.
Returning to the system in California, should it prove effective, relevant government bodies can consider applying similar mechanisms in other schools to hold back bullying on campus. However, it is significant for them to bear in mind that it is human action, not just technology, that can help address this universal issue. Technology can definitely serve as a vital tool, but it is the human element — attentiveness, care, and timely intervention — that ultimately holds the key to creating a safer environment for all students.
(1)、How does the campus alarm system at Sherrard School work?A、It uses artificial intelligence to identify figures in the toilets. B、It allows students to activate an alarm through a physical button. C、It functions by using direct observation within the toilet facilities. D、It operates by listening for key words and using voice recognition.(2)、What is the problem in stopping bullying according to paragraph 3 ?A、The lack of technology in schools. B、The inability of students to report bullying. C、The failure to recognize early warning signs. D、The absence of approaches to defining bullying.(3)、Why the case in Indiana is mentioned in this passage?A、To show bullying is getting worse and worse. B、To present middle school students are in danger. C、To stress closer human attention should be paid. D、To answer why school bullying is uncontrollable.(4)、What's the writing purpose of this passage?A、To argue creating a safer environment for students is important. B、To explain humans can do more than technology to stop bullying. C、To present bullying on campus is increasingly becoming a problem. D、To prove the Sherrard School sets an good example to other schools. -

"Mommy!"I called over my shoulder. "Grace is here!" Our neighbor, Grace, stood on our front door holding a cardboard box.
It took Mom a few minutes to get to the front door. At forty-two, her health wasn't good. She smiled at our next-door neighbor. "Come in and have a cup of coffee." "I can't stay, Nancy," Grace answered. "I just thought you all might be able to use some of this food. We get more at those giveaways than we can use." I felt relieved that Grace couldn't stay. She was friendly enough, but she and her husband drank a lot and they were given to loud arguments late at night. Sometimes, the police had to come and break up the fights. I was a little frightened of them. Grace placed the box on the kitchen table. Mom, who was not the sentimental type, got tears in her eyes."Grace! We can't take this."
Dad wandered in from the bedroom where he had been napping. He wasn't dealing very well with the unemployment at the processing plant. "We don't accept charity," he said. "Now, Jim," said Grace, "this is no time for your pride. You have two little girls and a sick wife to think of. This isn't charity. It's one neighbor helping another." I stood a little distance from the grownups, looking into each of their faces, wondering what was going to happen next. "I thank you kindly," Dad said at last.
When she was gone, we examined the contents of the box. It wasn't what we were used to. Mom smiled and said, "This will get us through for a couple of weeks." The gesture from Grace confused me because she wasn't family, or close friends with us. Even though I didn't like most of the food in that box, I knew there was something significant about this woman's generosity. She didn't have much to give, but she gave what she had at a time when our family needed help.
(1)、Why did Grace come to pay a visit to the family?A、She delivered the leftovers to the family. B、She brought food to the neighbor in need. C、She apologized for making noises late at night. D、She wanted to change the impression made on neighbors.(2)、What do we know about the writer's family?A、It went through a huge loss. B、It struggled against a great change. C、It experienced pressure of life survival. D、It was talked about in the neighbourhood.(3)、Which of the following best describes Grace?A、Generous and anxious. B、Kind and grateful. C、Friendly and curious. D、Warmhearted and considerate.(4)、What is the text mainly about?A、A neighbor's helping hand. B、The friendship between two families. C、A struggling family seeking hope. D、Food sharing in the neighborhood. -

15、 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
James, a 24-year-old investment banker from Toronto, was just one week into his new job on Wall Street. Over the past month, he'd been settling in to the New York City apartment he was sharing with his college friend, an artificial intelligence engineer named Raphael.
Now, last week, the two were going to meet in a lunchtime on Pier (码头) 15, overlooking the East River, when James froze. "Somebody's in the water," he said. Before Raphael could respond, James climbed over the rail (栏杆) at the edge of the pier and jumped into the cold, polluted water without taking the time to remove his shoes.
What James had heard was an alarmed fisherman shouting from Pier 16, nearly 50 yards away, "Help! He's in the water!" And what he'd seen was a person floating, lifeless.
Raphael didn't need to see the victim. Maybe James saw someone in the water who needs our help, he thought. Or maybe it's James who needs my help. Either way, I'm going in. He took off his shoes and dived.
Approaching the unconscious victim, James saw that it was a middle-aged man. He was big, around 200 pounds, respectably dressed and sinking fast. He was 3 feet below the surface by the time James reached him. The rescuer dived, felt around, grasped the man and kicked upward until they both got out of the surface. Raphael was there now. In the water, the two friends floated the man on his back. As Raphael put his arms around the man's shoulders and James supported the bottom and knees, the pair pulled the man back to Pier 15. Their lungs heaved and their muscles burned as they pushed and pulled the immobile figure through the water.
They might have been dragging a dead body. The man's skin was blue, and neither Raphael nor James detected any breathing. When at last they reached Pier 15, they faced a new uncertainty. How to get out of the water? The shore was half meter above their heads.
注意:1. 写词数应为150左右;2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
On the pier, a crowd had gathered.
……
Suddenly the man moved, breathing again.

Sullivan calls her right arm her "little arm". The 10-year-old was born with that arm less than half the 1 size. She has no elbow and tiny fingers to 2 things. However, it never discouraged her. This 3 kid could always find a way to make that little arm 4 for her. Until recently, riding a bike has proved out of her reach. But that might soon change 5 some college students.
Sullivan's grandparents saw a local news about Siena College students making a prosthetic (假肢的) hand for a little girl using the school's 3D printer. They went to see if her granddaughter could be a 6 for a new arm like that girl. However, there was a 7 when the grandparents asked if the college group could help Sullivan, as the design was for limbs (肢体) 8 an elbow or wrist.
Fortunately, Kristin, a junior engineering major said yes. She and her team couldn't 9 a perfect solution, but they promised to try.

19、 阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Need a good adventure?
You don't have to climb a mountain or go on safari. Any adventure where you stretch yourself and learn something new counts. For some, it may be jumping out of a plane. Ready for your adventure? Here's some advice.
Pick a manageable activity you can do soon-this weekend!-close to home. This will break your inertia (惰性), build your confidence and help you ramp up to bigger adventures.
Shift how you view anxiety.
Research shows that people who interpreted their nervousness about activities such as karaoke singing and public speaking as excitement enjoyed the experiences more and performed better than those who tried to press down their anxiety.
says Samantha Boardman, a New York psychiatrist: Turning Stress into Strength. Try talking to yourself out loud, saying "I am excited" or "Let's get excited."
Use your imagination.
Envision the worst-case scenario. Say you want to go on a hike but are worried you'll become lost, hurt or too exhausted to get home. Try to picture this. Next, visualize the best-case scenario: the beautiful view, the fun you'll have, your sense of accomplishment afterward.
Ask yourself what will probably happen. Are you more likely to feel happy after your hike, or to be carried off the mountain in a sedan chair (轿子) ? says Boardman.
Make full use ofregret.
It can be very motivating. Think about whether you'll feel disappointed if you miss out on this interesting, expansive experience or glad you stayed home.
We tend to regret actions we don't take rather than ones we do.
A. Start small.
B. Be confident.
C. For some, it may be climbing Mount Qomolangma.
D. So the fear of missing out can help you.
E. This exercise helps put fear in perspective.
F. For others, trying a different workout may do the trick.
G. This changed their threat mindset into an opportunity mindset.

Restless in their seat, glancing around and never looking you in the eye. We think we know when someone is lying, but do we really?
A study showed that people's ability to tell if someone is lying is little better than 50%. Interestingly, another research suggests that we are actually quite good at unconsciously (无意识地) spotting liars, but our conscious thoughts overrule this. Scientist R. Edward points out that training in recognising liars doesn't always help, saying "quick, inadequate training sessions lead people to over-analyse and to do worse than if they go with their gut reactions (本能)".
One reason for this may be "truth bias". Experts have suggested that we are usually biased to believe that people are telling us the truth. Another reason that might make us bad at identifying liars is that there are many myths around body language and lying. Many of us believe that liars are unlikely to look us in the eye or will be uneasy in their seat. However, this isn't necessarily the case. It may be that not looking away, or sitting more still than usual, are actually the giveaways that someone is lying.
To see how someone's behaviour really changes as they lie, many experts recommend observing people talking about things known to be true. This allows us to establish a baseline of their normal behaviours while speaking. Any differences to this baseline behaviour could show that someone is lying. This is why it's much harder to lie to people who know us well.
As liars may be working hard to conceal their behaviours, some psychologists have suggested increasing the effort needed for this by asking them to tell their story again backwards. When facing this increased cognitive (认知的) load, any behavioural tell-tale signs are magnified (放大).
It can be hard to spot liars. We are likely to trust people, and behaviours can be hidden, but if we know someone well, and if someone is working too hard to stick to their story, it's possible to see through people who are not telling the truth.
(1)、What can be known according to the researches in paragraph 2?A、Most people are able to distinguish a liar. B、Getting trained is quite useful for telling a liar. C、Spotting liars is like making a guess. D、Making conscious thoughts helps spot a liar.(2)、Which is NOT recommended by the experts to spot a liar?A、Increasing the person's cognitive pressure. B、Observing the person talking about things known real. C、Getting to know the person better. D、Asking the person to retell his story from beginning to end.(3)、What is the possible meaning of the underlined word "conceal"?A、Disguise. B、Seek. C、Spot. D、Display.(4)、What is the best title of the text?A、How we can spot a liar. B、What a liar's tricks are. C、Why it's hard to spot a liar. D、Who are good at lying.
