11、n much research to prove the point until now.Some new studies by Rutgers University scientists support the idea strongly, and the experts go on to assume that flowers have flourished on this planet, with their beauty evolving in recent thousands of years, partly because humans are so attached to the

12、m.In a test, bunches of flowers were sent by florists to 113 men and women in a retirement community. All 113 got flowers and a notebook, but some got them earlier and received a second bunch when the others got theirs. By now you can guess the outcome. The more flowers, the more smiles.The results

13、of the studies got the scientists to thinking about how the flower industry of today has evolved into growing things that serve no other purpose than emotional (情感上的) satisfaction. Nature wont even pollinate (授粉) many of the domesticated flowers. Just among roses, there are so many types created by

14、humans that, clearly, flowers arent what they used to be. But its likely our collective hand has played a role longer than you might think.Geneticist (遗传学家) Terry McGuire suggests that natures prettier flowers got to survive and develop well because people didnt destroy them when they cleared for ag

15、riculture. Instead, they grew them and have been doing so for over 2,000 years. “Because theyre a source of pleasure, we take care of them. In that sense theyre like dogs. They are the pets of the plant world.” McGuire says.Here is one way that might have worked:Many species of flowers that are now

16、planted used to grow only when the ground was disturbed, McGuire explains. “As humans moved into agricultural settings, these flowers would have been weeds.” “These flowers might have been tolerated because of their beauty. The seeds would have been preserved and replanted. Over time, the best of th

17、ese flowers might have been selected and the seeds more carefully preserved.”1、The underlined word “theirs” probably means _.AflowersBnotebooksCflowers and notebooksDa second bunch of flowers2、Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?AWe keep dogs because they make us happy.BPeople grow flowers

18、 for thousands of years.CThe more flowers people get, the happier they are.DPeople left all the flowers alive when clearing land.3、According to Terry McGuire, one possible way of flower evolution is _.a. the most beautiful flowers were chosenb. people replanted the seeds of the flowersc. flowers wer

20、分）How many times do you check your Facebook page in a day to see whether your latest post has got another “like” or “thumbs up”?Although you might be embarrassed to admit how many times you do this, dont worry - psychological findings have shown its completely normal. In fact, the pleasure we derive

21、 from receiving a “like” is equal to that of eating chocolate or winning money, and we cant help wanting more. According to the findings, which observed 32 teens aged between 13 and 18, the feedback circuit in the teens brains is particularly sensitive, and the “social” and “visual” parts of their b

22、rains were active when they received “likes” on the social network. The research also showed that though the thumbs up might come from complete strangers, the good they derive from them worked all the same.So, does it mean we should try our best to win as many thumbs up as possible? Not necessarily

23、so if we know the reasons behind our desire for attention. In “why do people long for attention” by M. Farouk Radwan, he explained several cases in which people naturally longed for attention. Radwan said people who were an only child, who were used to being the center of attention in their house, m

24、ay try to copy these conditions. Feeling “overlooked and unappreciated” might also lead you to long for attention. Other times, the state of being jealous or wanting to cover your mistakes may also contribute to such longings.In fact, too much desire for attention can create anxiety, and in turn rui

25、n your happiness even when you get it. So what can we do about it? The answer is quite simple. “If people could adopt goals not focused on their own self-esteem but on something larger than their self, such as what they can create or contribute to others, they would be less sensitive to some of the

26、negative effects of pursuing self-esteem,” wrote psychology professor Jennifer Crocker.So perhaps the answer to our addiction to “likes” is simply to focus on something larger than ourselves - a hard, but a worthy one.1、Which of the following can replace the underlined word “derive” in Paragraph 2?A

27、deliver BgiveCprevent Dget2、Whats the reaction of receiving “likes” on the social network to the brain?AThe brain becomes more nervous.BSome parts of the brain are active.CThe brain becomes less sensitive.DThe brain becomes cleverer.3、Who wants to get more attention according to the passage?Athe onl

28、y child.BThe old who lives happily with children.CThe young who feels anxious.DTeens who want to discover their mistakes.4、Whats Crockers suggestion about the negative effects of getting self-esteem?ADoing an interesting matter.BWorking harder than ever before.CHaving a bigger goal than their self.D

29、Not checking your Facebook page in a day.23（8分）Entrepreneur and CEO of Tesla and Space X, Elon Musk may have a little more time on his hands, as hes leaving his position on the board of the Open AI, according to a blog post.The departure is likely the result of Teslas moving into the field of Artifi

30、cial Intelligence (AI), which he said in 2017 would be the “best in the world” and would even be able to “predict your destination.” Musk will continue to “donate and advise the organization,” Open AI said in a blog post on Feb. 20, adding that “As Tesla continues to become more focused on AI, this

31、will avoid a potential future conflict for Elon.”Musk and Y Combiner CEO Sam Altman co-founded the nonprofit enterprise in December 2015, its mission is to develop safe artificial general intelligence and ensure those developments are made public. Open AI researchers published a paper on the site ar

32、Xiv. org, detailing the possible secure threats that come with “malicious” A I. In fact, Musk has heard of the “evil AI” alarm several times. On Aug. 11, 2017, he warned that artificial intelligence poses a bigger threat to humanity, and he told a gathering of state governors that the government nee

33、ds to regulate AI before robots start “killing people.”Musks departure from the Open AI board could mean big things for Tesla. As Elon Goodbye, a financial reporter, noted on Futurism, the move “could signal that Tesla is more deeply committed to their own AI projects than we thought.” He added, “Th

34、ose who have had their ears to any rumors that Tesla is ready to deliver vehicles capable of Level 5 autonomy could take this new Open AI development as a sign that the company is inching closer to that unapproachable goal.” No company has reached that level of autonomy, which means that a driverles

35、s car could navigate any road under any conditions and that all the human “driver” would need to do is to input a destination.1、Why does Elon Musk leave his position?ATo create safer AI.

37、esla is meaningless.CHe has no confidence in Open AI.DLevel 5 autonomy could set human drivers free.24（8分）Anyone can try to lead a group, but not every individual is cut out for leadership. The better leaders possess a few qualities that can mean the difference between the success and failure of the

38、 group. These are the qualities the leader of higher rank will look for when choosing a leader for a group, or when evaluating the performance of a leader. Theyre also the qualities team members want in a group leader, and appreciate when they find them.Take ResponsibilityGroup leaders might share t

39、asks around a group as necessary, but eventually a group leader needs to be able to accept that responsibility lies on his shoulders. That means that if things go wrong in a group project, hes the one who must accept the consequences and work out what mistakes are made. The group leader wont always

40、have the power to control everything group members do, but he should be ready to admit any mistakes the group has made as a result of his leadershipConcern for MembersThe group leader has a commitment to the task or project at hand, but perhaps more importantly, he has a real concern for each and ev

41、ery person who is part of his group. This means getting to know the strengths, weaknesses and goals of team members, as well as making time to build the group through collective activities. The group leader should make sure that everyone is included, even if an individual is new to a group.Good List

42、enerThe group leader needs to be able to listen to the suggestions, complaints and ideas of group members.
