17、wever, teaching her how to use the Internet is as frustrating as untangling (解开) wires.Once, my mother came to me to ask for help on how to find a recipe for all-beef Lasagna. I gave her very simple verbal instructionsgo to the home page of a particular search engine and type in “recipe for all-beef
18、 Lasagna.” Fifteen minutes later, she came to me, telling me that she was unable to find the Internet icon. I went over to the computer and pointed out the icon to her.Another fifteen minutes went by when I felt a tap on my shoulder. This time, my mother said that she was unable to search for the pa
19、rticular recipe. Gritting (咬) my teeth, I walked to her room again. I saw that she had typed “all beef La saga” instead. With frustrated strokes, I keyed in the correct spelling.Yet another fifteen minutes went by again when my mother gingerly tapped my shoulder. I stormed next door without botherin
20、g to hide my frustration. The main page of the website had not shifted one bit. I then realized that she did not know how to scroll(滚动屏幕) down the page. What had initially seemed like an easy task was turning out to be an intense one.To avoid being disturbed again, I decided to find the recipe for h
21、er. Without a word, I rapidly downloaded a few recipes, printed them out and passed them to my mother. However, seeing her embarrassment, I began to regret my impatience.At that moment, memories flashed through my mind. When I was young, my mother endured my endless questions, enlightening me with m

Understanding means standing in others shoes.CBred to be sweeter, todays cherries, bananas and apples taste different than they used to but not necessarily better. Among fruit farmers, the word “quality” is now routinely used as a standard for “high in s
26、ugar”, though firmness, color and size are also considerations. In a recent study about ways to enhance the sweetness of fruit using “molecular (分子的) approaches”, a group of plant scientists wrote that, in general, the sugar content of many fruits are now higher than before owing to continuous selec
27、tion and breeding. Modern apple varieties, the scientists stressed, were on average sweeter than older ones.The sweetness of fruit depends not just on how it is bred but also on growing conditions, yield and harvest. The lead researcher, Sugiura, said, “If you could taste an apple harvested 30 years
28、 ago, you would feel the difference.” He believed that modern apples are picked so early that even if they are bred for sweetness, they often dont develop their full character. The fragrance never develops in fruit that is harvested too early.Jim Cooper, an apple farmer in England, is regretful to a
29、dmit the fact that many people will never taste the “strawberry hint” in a really ripe Pearmain, a type of heritage apple. In a way, the rise of consistently sweeter fruit in our lifetimes has been a victory of plant breeding. After all, its a rare person who would seek out bitter grapes if they cou
30、ld have sweet ones instead.But the sweetness of modern fruit is not without its problems, especially for people with diabetes (糖尿病), who have to reduce their intake of higher-sugar fruits. Fruit that is bred sweeter also tends to be lower in the chemicals that make it healthy. Considering health, ma
31、ybe the real problem with modern fruit is that it has become yet another sweet thing in a world with sugar. Even grapefruits, which used to be quite bitter, are sometimes now as sweet as oranges. If youve never tasted a sour cherry, how can you fully appreciate a sweet one?28. In what aspect is many
32、 fruits different from before?A. Bright color.B. Soft skin.C. Sugar content.D. High yield.29. Why did Sugiura express discontent with the present fruits?A. They are bred too early.B. They are losing a good flavor.C. They taste so sweet.D. They need a higher yield.30. What is Coopers attitude towards
33、 modern fruit breeding?A. Critical.B. Ambiguous.C. Favorable.D. Uncaring.31. Whats the main idea of the last paragraph?A. The sweetness of fruits will cause health issues.B. Its a wise choice to breed fruits for sweetness.C. Breeding sweet fruits improves the quality of fruits.D Some fruits like gra
34、pes and cherries taste the same.DWhen scientists go to a forest to study monkeys and their habits and behaviors, how do they know whos who?In the past, scientists had to make marks on each of the animals to distinguish them. But in the future, they may have a much easier way to tell them apart thank
35、s to facial recognition technology.A research team from Chinas Northwest University is using facial recognition technology to identify thousands of snub-nosed monkeys that live on Qinling Mountain in Shaanxi province.Similar to human facial recognition, the technology that is used to identify monkey
36、s uses their facial features to create a database that includes every monkey, Xinhua reported. “When the system is fully developed, we can connect it with cameras set up in the mountains. The system will automatically recognize the monkeys, name them and analyze their behavior,” said Zhang He, a mem
37、ber of the research team. “For each snub-nosed monkey, we have 700 to 800 image samples, and the recognition success rate is 94 percent,” Zhang added.“We used mobile phones and portable cameras with the monkeys in tests at distances ranging from about 3 to 10 meters,” said He Gang, a member of the r
38、esearch team and an associate professor in the College of Life Sciences at Northwest University. “There is no need to interfere with the monkeys. Such a method of sampling is clearly non-invasive.”Compared to humans, facial recognition technology for monkeys is more complicated because of their hair
39、ier faces. The color of their hair causes them to blend into their environment. These factors make it harder for computers to identify them.“Monkeys do not cooperate with researchers in the same way humans do. It is difficult to take high-quality pictures and videos of them, which are needed to impr
40、ove the system,” said Li Baoguo, leader of the research team.Currently, there are about 4,000 snub-nosed monkeys living on Qinling Mountain. The teams goal is to successfully identify every monkey that lives there.32. What problem do scientists face while studying monkeys according to the text?A. Ho
41、w to mark them.B. How to distinguish them.C. How to understand their behavior.D. How to observe them clearly33. What does the article tell us about facial recognition technology for monkeys?A. It is now widely adopted in China.B. It works better than human facial recognition.C. It will use monkeys b
42、ehavior to create a database.D. It can help scientists study monkeys without disturbing them. 34. According to the leader of the team, what is the difficulty in improving the system?A. Less cooperative monkeys.B. Hard for computers to identify the monkeys.C. photos and videos of high quality.D. Too
43、many monkeys to identify.35 What is the authors main purpose in writing the article?A. To introduce a new way to identify monkeys.B. To show the importance of studying monkeys.C. To compare different ways to identify monkeys.D. To explain difficulties in developing a new system.第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分1
