2．After an evening playing the bingo game at the Hotel & Casino，bartender Jill Bien，48，boarded a bus bound for Chicago，where she lives.About 35 miles into the 90-mile trip，Jill felt the bus drive away onto the right shoulder of I-94.The bus scraped（擦掛）a concrete barrier，and then turned back into traffic.
"Stop the bus!"Jill yelled to the driver from her seat just behind him.But then she saw his seat was empty.The driver，James Rogers，68，lay unconscious in the bus's stairwell. "Call 911!" Jill screamed，and with the bus rushing in and out of traffic at about 60 mph in an uncontrollable way，she leaped into the driver's seat and grabbed the wheel.
"My life flashed before my eyes，" Jill says now. "Everyone on the bus was bouncing around；they were lying in the aisle（通道）.I thought，I don't want anybody to get hurt." Jill carefully turned the bus onto the shoulder，bringing it to a stop.
"Thank God she got that bus over to the side，" says Marge Borkowski，who was a passenger that night. "She's my hero." Emergency personnel arrived a few minutes later and took 11 of the bus's 34 passengers to the hospital，where doctors treated them for minor injuries，When Jill returned home after the accident，she "burst out crying." she says. "I kept visualizing it."
Despite anxiety and injuries，Jill boarded a bus back to the casino two days later.

3．Committed to helping humans communicate with and understand as many species as possible，a California-based nonprofit organization，Earth Species Project （ESP） is taking the lead.
"We are species-independent，" Raskin said to The Guardian，adding that ESP is developing translation algorithms（算法） that can be applied to biological systems of all kinds，from worms to whales.Raskin acknowledges that the goal is similar to going to the moon.Instead，the ESP roadmap involves solving a series of smaller problems to achieve the big picture.These tools will assist researchers in revealing the secrets of species under study using artificial intelligence.
Bees，for instance，do a special "waggle dance" to signal to each other that they should land on a certain flower，which is a form of non-verbal communication.A noisy social environment can make it difficult to determine which animal is making the sound within a group.This phenomenon is known as the "cocktail party problem".
Though there are many challenges，some progress has been made，such as an algorithm that can produce imitated animal sounds to talk directly with them.
"It's making the Al speak the language，although we don't know what it means yet，" Raskin said， "These are the tools that allow us to understand entire communication systems." As we can see，Artificial Intelligence is once again being used by scientists to break barriers and open new doors that would otherwise be unopenable.More and more scientists are turning towards artificial intelligence for help in various fields，despite many well-known scientists warning that AI must be controlled and looked over.
Last year，a former Google engineer claimed that the Al was sentient（有感知能力的）.Although this isn't likely to be the case，it shows just how far artificial intelligence has progressed.Interestingly，and in a somewhat connection to ESP，Professor Avi Loeb has proposed that Artificial Intelligence developed by humans could one day maybe identify Alien AI and communicate with it.
（1）Which statement would Raskin probably agree with？
A．The purpose of EPS is to land on the the moon.
B．Researchers are studying independent animals.
C．Solving challenging problems is just the priority.
D．AI will offer humans help to understand animals.
（2）Why does the author mention "waggle dance" and "cocktail party problem"？
A．To show recent discoveries researchers made.
B．To demonstrate difficulties researchers face.
C．To reveal the secrets of species to the public.
D．To arouse readers' interest in certain animals.
（3）What can we know about Al in Paragraph 5？
A．AI has been abandoned by scientists.
B．Al is gradually taking scientists' place.
C．Scientists have different opinions of AI.
D．Problems can only be solved by AI alone.
（4）What does Professor Avi Loeb imply in the last paragraph？
A．People need to lay great stress on the alien communication.
B．AI needs to be constantly updated to match alien technology.
C．We'll be surely able to communicate with aliens aided by Al.
D．AI has a great potentiality in the field of scientific research.組卷：6引用：3難度：0.3

9．A group of boys ran to small parts of mud to play.I joined them.One boy held up a worm（蠕蟲(chóng)），and with an extremely strong pull，he tore the poor creature in half.
How could anyone be so cruel？I ran to the nearest playground supervisor（主管人）to report the incident.The supervisor sighed and waved me away.Something had to be done.
When I returned to the mud，I inspected the two halves of the worm and was astonished to find that they were still moving.I quickly picked up the worms and a little extra dirt and put them into my jeans pocket.
A few minutes before lunch，I tiptoed to the bin that held the class's lunch boxes，looking for the one that belonged to the Worm Ripper，the boy who had torn the worm cruelly.Fortunately for me，I recognized it immediately.I looked behind me to be sure no one saw me before slipping the worm pieces inside the plastic baggie that held his apple slices.
I held my breath as the Worm Ripper pulled the apple slices from his lunchbox.When he noticed the worm，he let out a sharp cry，which brought the lunchroom supervisors to him.
I should've felt triumphant（大獲全勝的）.Instead，my heart pounded in my chest.I knew what I had to do.I walked up to lunch supervisors and admitted， "It was me!I put the worm in his lunchbox."
The Worm Ripper glared in my direction.One supervisor rubbed his back to comfort him，while the other ordered me to go to the headmistress's office.
Headmistress Lehrer was a strict old woman.My best friend Ricky said she would look students in the eye，making them tell her everything bad they had ever done.Then they were punished by writing apologies until their hands fell off.I expected to at least receive a severe scolding（訓(xùn)斥）.
注意： （1）續(xù)寫(xiě)詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150 左右：
（2）請(qǐng)按如下格式在答題卡的相應(yīng)位置作答。
After I told her the truth，with a kind of strange smile on her lips，she went down on her knees.
The next day，not allowed to go out for break，I stared out and watched a boy by the mud pile picking up a worm.
