Sir Isaac Newton, the
English scientist and mathematician, was one of the most important figures of
the 17th century scientific revolution. One of his greatest achievement was the
discovery of the three laws of motion, (26) are still used today. But he also
had a very unusual personality. Some people would say he was actually insane.
His father died before
he was born, and his mother soon remarried. The young Isaac hated his
stepfather so much that he once (27) to burn his house down - when his
stepfather and mother were still inside! Fortunately he did not, and he went on
to graduate from Cambridge without being thrown into prison.
Isaac's first published
work was a theory of light and color. When another scientist wrote a paper
criticizing this theory
Isaac flew into an uncontrollable rage The scientist (28) for the criticism
was a man called Robert
Hooke. He was head of the Royal Society, and one of the most respected
scientists in the country. (29) , this made no difference to Isaac, who refused
to speak to him for over a year.
The simple fact was that
Isaac found it impossible to have a calm discussion with anyone. As soon as
someone said something that he disagreed with, he would lose his temper. For
this reason he lived a large part of his life isolated from (30) scientists. It
is unlikely that many of them complained.

Read the following passage and mark the letter
A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the question.
Women often complain
that the men in their lives are not romantic enough. But men sometimes have
trouble expressing their feelings, often resorting to cheesy Hallmark cards or
pricey bejeweled baubles to do the job for them. But there is a far better way
to be romantic and it doesn’t involve spending a fortune or even opening your
mouth.
In the days before
courting consisted of hanging out and getting drinks, courting was a formal
and dignified endeavor. Symbols were used to express feelings
and thoughts deemed too special for mere words. During the Victorian Era, a
whole romantic language developed around the giving and receiving of flowers.
Everything from the type and size of the flower to the way it was held or
presented conveyed layers of meaning and communicated a gentleman’s feelings
and intentions. Each bouquet contained a secret message for a lady to eagerly
interpret and endlessly dissect.
These days giving
flowers has become a somewhat ho-hum cliché. Resurrecting this Victorian
tradition will infuse the gesture with new life and romance and bring back some
of the subtly, mystery, and fun of courtship. Your lady will swoon that you put
far more thought into your selection of flowers than grabbing a bouquet out of
the case at Wal-Mart. You’ll come off as a real gentleman and a hopeless
romantic. It can become an amazing tradition you’ll both enjoy. Seriously,
women eat this stuff up.
Of course, even women
nowadays have forgotten the meanings of flowers. So buy your lady a flower
dictionary. And keep a copy for yourself (it’s important that you both use the
same reference, as the meanings were never set in stone and can sometimes vary
from book to book). Then, each time you present her with a
bouquet, she can search the volume to find what secret messages you have
embedded in the flowers.

Read the following passage and mark the
letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions
from 36 to 42.
Artificial intelligence (AI) and related
technologies are increasingly prevalent in business and society; besides, they
have been applied to education. These technologies have the potential to
transform many aspects of the teaching - learning process.
Basic activities in education like grading
can be automated with the help of AI. At educational institutes, marking a
large number of tests and assignments is tedious work.
Teachers often find that grading takes up a considerable amount of time which
can be used to interact with students and prepare for class. AI, at present,
may not be able to actually replace human grading; however, it's getting pretty
close. Nearly all kinds of multiple choice and fill-in-the blank testing can
now be performed by Al-driven machines, and automated grading of student
writing may not be far behind. Essay-grading softwares are still in their
infancy, yet they will be fully developed over the coming
years, allowing teachers to focus more on classroom activities and professional
development.
Learners can also get additional support
from AI. For instance, tutoring programs based on artificial intelligence
already exist to help students with basic courses of mathematics, writing,
foreign language, etc. With the rapid pace of technological advancement in
recent years, sophisticated tutoring systems which can help students learn high
order thinking and stimulate their creativity will not be a pipe dream.
Moreover, Al programs can give learners useful feedback and assistance. Some
schools, especially those with online courses, are using AI systems to monitor
students' progress. These systems not only offer students advice on individual
courses but also help students choose majors in accordance with areas where
they succeed or struggle.
For better or worse, AI systems have taken
place in certain types of classroom activities. In the next decades, their
influences will extend significantly, which offers both teacher and students a
much wider range of services.
