2 . Far away, in a forest outside Oslo, Norway, 1,000 newly planted trees are growing. Ninety-nine years from now, the full-size trees will be cut down and used to make paper. The paper will be used to make copies of an unusual book. The book will have 100 authors finish it over the course of 100 years. Exactly what's inside the book will remain secret until 2114.

The forest and the book are part of the Future Library. Scottish artist Katie Paterson began the project last year. “We're asking one writer a year to give a story,” Paterson said. The subject, the style, the kind, and the length are up to the author. However, Paterson has two important rules. The first is that each author has one year to write the story. The second is that they mustn't publish it in any form.

What's the point of asking authors to write stories that readers alive today will never get to enjoy? For Paterson, the Future Library is about letting people think about the future. She said, “It's about developing an artwork that's not just for now but for a future generation.”

Paterson got the idea for the project while drawing tree rings in a notebook. “I make a quick connection（关联）between the rings and paper, chapters（篇章）, and a book,” she said. Paterson wondered if she could grow “a kind of future forest that would become a small library of books”.

The idea seemed so difficult that she set it aside. But a few years later, Paterson had the opportunity to take part in a programme called Slow Space. Organizers were looking for amazing projects designed to unfold(展现) over time. Paterson's was one of the three chosen programmes.

1. The trees were planted to_______.

A．build a future library	B．make a book in the future

2. What can we know about that unusual book?

A．It will have 100 stories.	B．It will not be published.
C．No one is allowed to copy it.	D．Its stories are only about the future.

3. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?

A．Why Paterson started the project.

B．The importance of Paterson's project.

C．What the Future Library will be used for.

D．How Paterson got the idea for the project.

4. Organizers of Slow Space probably think Paterson's project is_______.

4 . 阅读下面短文，根据语境、音标或所给单词的提示，在每个空格内填入1个适当的单词，要求所填的词意义准确、形式正确，使短文意思完整、行文连贯。

Square dancing has become more and more popular in recent times, especially for the middle-aged women. Square dancing is not     1     healthy, but also relaxing for them. However, in many cities, most people     2    (agree). They think square dancing is too noisy and they want to stop the activity. I have my     3    /əʊn/ opinion about this problem.

My grandmother falls in love with it, so she goes out to the big square to dance right after dinner. Now she dances very well. And her body becomes     4    (strong) and healthier. She also becomes very optimistic and makes a lot of     5    (friend). But some people     6    /ˈkʌvə/ their ears when they go through the big square. My friends in the school complain that because     7     the loud music, they can’t even sleep well or focus on their studies. Square dancing is a healthy way to relax, for either the old or the young. But they should     8    /əˈbeɪ/ some rules. First, pay attention     9     the time. When it’s too late, just stop     10    (dance). Second, don’t make the music too loud. And the most important thing is never to dance near a school or a campus. They should choose a proper place to dance, like a gym at the community center.

5 . Artificial intelligence (AI) （人工智能）is the ability of a computer program or a machine to think and learn. It is also a field of study that tries to make computers "smart". John McCarthy, a scientist, came up with the name "artificial intelligence" in 1955. Many things such as learning and problem solving can be done by computers, though not in the same way as we do.

An unusual goal of AI research is to create computer programs that can learn, solve problems, and think logically（逻辑地）. At present we use the term Al for successfully understanding human speech, recognizing（识别）human faces, operating self-driving cars and competing in some game systems like Chess and AlphGo（阿尔法狗）. Some people also consider AI a danger to humans if it develops too quickly. Professor Stephen Hawking, a well-known British scientist, was not for this kind of technology.

Math is the basic language of AI. If we raise the standard in the learning of math, our students will be more likely to become successful AI designers in the future. We not only want bright students, but also need to attract average students and give them the math skills which are needed to change them into AI designers. Besides, a good knowledge of computer science is also necessary for AI designing.

Scientists hope to create creative and emotional AI which can possibly understand human feelings or create art. Many ways and tools have been tried to discover this fascinating field.

1. From Paragraph 1, we know that_________.

A．all problems can be solved by AI	B．machines with AI can think and learn
C．AI has been around for only 60 years.	D．AI works in the same way as humans

2. The underlined word "it" in Paragraph 2 refers to（指的是）_________.

A．Chess

B．AlphaGo

C．the danger

D．AI

3. According to the writer and the following school report, which student will most probably become a successful AI designer?

School Report

Subject/Name	Math(100)	Art(100)	Computer(100)
Mike	60	95	95
Peter	95	65	90
Amy	65	90	95
Cathy	95	95	60

A．Mike.

B．Peter.

C．Amy.

D．Cathy.

4. Paragraph 4 mainly tells us the scientists’ ________ about AI.

A．wishes

B．worries

C．feelings

D．discoveries

6 . Today, we are talking about money. I can share a bit about my history with money and my new view when it comes to using green paper.

I made a web page with links to posts about our financial (财政的) journey where you can look for more details of where we've been and how we got where we are now. It was a big part of my story in the past and was a huge part of our downsizing（精简） journey. We got out of debt and stayed out of debt.

So I feel eager（渴望的）to share the benefits of being on this side. It takes more planning and more careful thought whenever a dollar is spent now than it did when I had a wallet full of credit cards. I now like to think all of my dollars doing the job. So many of us work for money and don't consider that money should work for us, too. Make your dollars do the job of helping you live the life you want.

Each time money is spent or saved, it should be going toward something that you purposefully want for your life. Last week I was out and I spent $ 20 on food in 3 days. It made me angry because afterward I thought about eating is not at all what I want for my life.

On the other hand, there are times I spend $ 20 while out with my family and it doesn't bother（使烦恼）me one bit. An afternoon out with my kids during which we stop for ice cream, and do something fun together has a completely different feel.

In the end, I want the dollars I spend to have purpose like I can enjoy life while still planning and saving for the future.
