On a cool morning, Wilson Kasaine walks along a dirt path in southern Kenya. Actually, Kasaine is tracking lions. Particularly, he is tracking one lion called Marti.
Tracking lions on foot may sound dangerous, but Kasaine has been doing it for most of his life. Born in a traditional Maasai family, he understood the beauty and risk of the wildlife. Living with big game forces him to develop a good sense of where animals have been and where they might be going. During his 12-kilometer walks to and from school, he learned how to tell the paw prints of a lion from those of other animals.
Growing up, Kasaine knew that improving his tracking abilities would help him avoid other dangerous animals. But maybe Kasaine didn't know that, years later, he would be tracking lions specifically to encounter them and to protect them. Today he leads a small group of wide-eyed tourists over a red sandy path in the reserve, searching for the lion that has left upon it his unmistakable prints.
Each year, tens of thousands of tourists come to Kenya's national parks to try to visit the "big five": elephants, rhinoceros, leopards, buffaloes, and lions. The attraction of these animals to people all over the world means that the nation's economy is tied to the protection of its wildlife. If Kenya's wildlife disappears, so does its second-largest source of income.
Considering the rapid urban development in Kenya, this isn't unimaginable. In 2016, a study shows that many of the nation's most treasured species have fallen to less than one-third of their population counting from just 40 years ago. The number of lions fell too. In 1998, the nation was home to over 15,000; only about 2,000 remain today. Several experts have predicted they could disappear entirely from the country in the next two decades.
Wildlife protection efforts in Kenya must be at the sacrifice of other things. People were forced to leave their land and into smaller surrounding regions. Communities like Kasaine's are now finding it increasingly difficult to maintain a traditional Maasai lifestyle. But they are glad that their sacrifice really makes a difference.
41..What did Kasaine learn on his way to school and back home?
A. The beauty and risk of the wildlife.
B. The method of telling different plants.
C. The skills of telling different paw prints.
D. The lifestyle of a traditional Maasai family.
42.What does the underlined word "it" in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A. The lion. B. The path.
C. The reserve. D. The group.
43.Why is Kenya making efforts to protect wildlife?
A. To improve the nation's economy.
B. To offer more jobs to the local people.
C. To show the importance of the "big five".
D. To set a good example to other countries.
44.What do we know from the fifth paragraph?
A. The lions in Kenya are in danger of dying out.
B. The number of species declined seriously in 2016.
C. The nation's economy is experiencing a very hard period.
D. Species in Kenya decreased every year in the recent ten years.
45.How does Kasaine feel about his sacrifice?
A. Unpleasant B. hopeful C. doubtful D. worthwhile
C
The next generation of artificial intelligence (AI) may be sitting right beneath you, at least if furniture maker Ikea has any say in the matter. The Swedish furniture company's "future-living" research lab in Copenhagen is conducting a survey to understand what people want when it comes to smart furniture.
AI is now walking into more aspects of people's daily lives. Self-driving cars are just around the corner, and AI robots can play and beat the best players of strategy games. As smart home technologies have become more ubiquitous, products ranging from smart electrical outlets（插座）to smart smoke alarms are flooding the market. Therefore, it's not surprising that Ikea would be moving in the same direction.
Exactly why people would want their sofa or bed frame to speak to then, track their daily movements or offer help is not yet clear. Though Ikea's the new survey doesn't directly answer that question, it does provide a hint of what people would feel comfortable with. Most participants wanted a more human-like form of virtual（虚拟的）assistants, as opposed to one that is more robotic. In terms of the ideal gender（性别）of the assistants, the most popular choice was neither male nor female. Few wanted a religious form of AI.
Just as with human friends, most wanted AI friends that were like them, affirming their own worldview. They wanted an AI assistant that was reasonably intelligent-that could collect data to predict what a person wanted before he or she asked, and that could prevent someone from making mistakes.
This is not the first time that Ikea has set foot in the field or futuristic technologies. In addition to wireless charging tables and chainless bikes that never rust（生锈）, the furniture giant has also pictured smart kitchens that can cook the best meal. To decide on how intelligent you want your next sofa or bookshelf to be, you can take Ikea's survey online.
46.The survey carried out by Ikea aims to ____
A. know people's need for smart furniture B. understand future lifestyle
C. promote the company's smart furniture D. answer people's questions
47. What does the underlined word "ubiquitous" in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Beautiful. B. Common.
C. Normal. D. Environment.
48. What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A. The differences between robot-like and human-like assistants.
B. What form of AI assistants people want.
C. What kind of friends people want.
D. The popular robots on the market.
49. Most people who received the survey wanted an AI assistant that could ________.
A. help them became smarter
B. communicate with them without troubles
C. have its own worldview
D. deal with their problems in advance
50. Which of the following products are from Ikea?
A. Smart sofas that can speak to you.
B. Smart beds than can track your daily movements.
C. Wireless charging cars.
D. Rustless bikes without chains.

As parents, we want our children to reach their full academic potential. We read to them, encourage their special talents, and support them when they have problems. If they choose to participate in music or sports, we also help them reach their potential in those areas. These are all good goals.
There is, however, an even more important goal. It is a goal more difficult than excellence in arithmetir the violin. Parents are responsible for providing their children with a moral compass. They need to nurture and treasure goodness in their children. Every child has the capacity to become a good, decent human being. To fulfill this capacity, children need the guidance and support of parents and other adults. Raising good, moral children is the most important job we will have.
What is a good, decent human being? While we may differ on some details, most would agree that respect for others, kindness and caring, honesty and honor, and a reverence (尊重) for life are key. Good, decent human beings are people with a firm sense of direction and purpose―a moral compass―to guide their lives. Children need our help to develop these characteristics and values.
While most people try to act with honor and kindness, doing so consistently is difficult and requires lifelong effort. Goodness is not easy for an adult, and it is even more difficult for a child. They do not have the knowledge, experiences, or cognitive skills to understand the impact and consequences of their actions.
Reinforcement is sometimes an efficient approach to building positive behavior. The child behaves in a desired way and the parents provide reinforcement. The behavior then typically increases in frequency. This approach works for teaching "Please" and "Thank you". The new behavior is maintained, because it helps the child get along in the world.
Loving, everyday interactions are the beginning of raising moral children. The child who falls and receives adult concern learns how to treat others kindly when they stumble (绊倒). The child who makes a mistake and is encouraged to try again learns how to support others. When parents intercede (调解) graciously for their child, the child can see the basis for friendship. When we treat children with respect and care, we provide a positive model of how to behave. These early experiences establish patterns for their treatment of others.
51 What are adults supposed to do to make children become good, decent human beings?
A To encourage their children to learn more about sports or music.
B To help their children to develop their special talents.
C To support their children when they have problems.
D To reinforce positive behavior through everyday interactions.
52 Why is it difficult for a child to act with honor and kindness?
A Because it is difficult for adults to do so.
B Because a child is not mature enough to do so.
C Because a child does not understand the abstract concept of "goodness".
D Because a child does not have a model to follow.
53 Why does the author talk about teaching "Please" and "Thank you"?
A To demonstrate that saying "Please" and "Thank you" is a good habit.
B To demonstrate that politeness is the nature of a moral compass.
C To demonstrate that politeness helps the child get along in the world.
D To demonstrate that reinforcement is an efficient approach to building positive behavior.
54 What conclusion can we draw from the passage?
A Every child without exception will become a good, decent human being.
B There's a universally accepted criteria for "a good, decent human being".
C The more reinforcement, the more the child behaves in a positive way.
D The child with a single parent will not become a good, decent human being.
55 What is the purpose of the last paragraph?
A To emphasize the importance of adults' concern when a child fails.
B To show how to guide children to develop friendship.
C To explain why adults should treat children with respect and care.
D To show how love and everyday interactions work in molding a moral child.

阅读短文，按照题目要求用英文回答问题。
It really is possible to be bored to death ,researchers from the Department of Epidemiology(流行病学) and Public Health at University College London have found . Researchers say that people who live a boring life are more likely to die young. People who complain of "high levels " of tedium in their lives are at double the risk of dying from heat disease than those who find life interesting.
Of more than 7,000 civil servants who were studied over 25 years ,those who said they were bored were nearly 40 percent more likely to have died by the end of the study than those who did not. People who are bored are more likely to form unhealthy habits like drinking ,smoking ,taking, drugs and getting addicted to the Internet ,which can cut their life-expectancy . The researchers also found that women are more than twice as likely to suffer boredom as men . Younger employees and those with duller jobs were also found to be easier to feel bored.
Martin Shipley ,who wrote the report published in the International Journal of Epidemiology, said," The findings on heart disease show there was enough evidence to say there is a link with boredom .It is important that people find outside interests to keep off boredom ,rather than turn to drinking or smoking.'
For many people who are uninspired by life ,or maybe have a tendency towards depression, the way out of it is to change their focus away from themselves and on other people . Researchers said those who are bored should lift their spirits by thinking more about the needs of others . They should think what they can do for their family, their friends , their colleagues ,or even their boss.
