But exactly how do those laws get made? The process is not easy, and it takes a long time.A law begins when someone puts forward an idea. The idea can come from anyone, but it has to get to a U. S. lawmaker who wants it to become legislation. In time，the idea is further developed into a written proposal, called a bill.Then, a member of Congress officially proposes the bill. After the bill is introduced, it is sent to a small group of lawmakers, called a “committee”. Sometimes committee members seek more information about the proposal by holding hearings. Sometimes the committee changes the bill. Sometimes it decides not to take any action. In that case, we say lawmakers “table” the bill, or let it “die in committee”.But now and then, the bill is offered to lawmakers not on the committee. Those lawmakers debate the bill further. They might change the bill again. Finally* the full House or Senate votes on the bill. If it does not earn the majority of votes，the bill does not advance.Finally，the agreed-upon bill is sent to the president. If the president signs it, the bill becomes a law. If the president does nothing and Congress is officially meeting，the bill becomes a law. But if the president does nothing and Congress is not in session，the bill does not pass. Or the president can officially reject the bill If that happens，the bill is not stopped. Instead，it is returned to both the Senate and the House. If two-thirds of the senators and two-thirds of the House members approve the bill once again，even with the president objecting，they turn the bill into a law.21.Who is the first to propose a bill?A. A lawyer B. A citizen. C.A member of Congress. D.A committee member.22.When does a bill finally become a law?A.After it is sent to a committee. B.When the president signs it.C.After it returns to the Congress. D.While Congress is not in session.23.What can be inferred from the text?A.Not every bill can be turned into a law. B.Anybody can put forward a proposal.C.If “tabled”，the bill has to be voted on. D.Once proposed, the bill cant be changed.BA simple project to help a family in need stopped Luke Mickelson in his tracks. In 2012, he and his family were inspired to build and donate a bunk bed, one bed on top of the other, after learning there were local children who slept on the floor. Shocked to discover how widespread this need was in his community, Mickelson founded Sleep in Heavenly Peace, a nonprofit that builds and delivers beds to children in need.Born and raised in Idaho, Mickelson, now 41, had a thriving career. He coached his kids sports teams and fished in the nearby river. But when he met children who were sleeping on the floor, his peaceful life changed course.Using safety guidelines and his daughters bunk bed as a model, Mickelson started buying wood and supplies to build beds with his own money. He recruited friends and family members to help around the holiday. As word spread, interest and involvement from his and other communities floodedalong with Mickelsons bunk bed output. “That first project, we built 11 bunk beds in my garage,” he said. “The next year, we did 15. Then it doubled every year. In 2017, we built 612 bunk beds.”With the motto “No kid sleeps on the floor in our town”, the nonprofit and its more than 65 branches have built and delivered more than 1,500 free beds to children across America. But along with the rapid growth, Mickelson was faced with a tough choice: advancing his career or his nonprofit. He chose the latter and went from making “great money to zero money”. Hes never looked back. “I found that the need I have isnt financial,” he said. “The need I have is seeing the joy on kids faces, knowing that I can make a difference.”24. Why did Mickelson set up Sleep in Heavenly Peace?A. To help the poor children.B. To make a big fortune.C. To inspire his community.D. To get more donations.25. What do we know about Luke Mickelson?A. He had his own fish farm. B. He changed his career from time to time.C. He used to sleep on the floor when he was a kid. D. He originally had a relaxing and pleasant life.26. How did other people react to Mickelsons project?A. They showed little interest in it. B. They were supportive and involved in it.C. They were doubtful about the safety of the bunk bed. D. They volunteered to buy beds with their own money.27. What is Mickelsons attitude to the nonprofit?A. AmbiguousB. Defensive. C. Cautious.D. Positive.CArtificial intelligence (AI) technology may soon be a useful tool for doctors. It may help them better understand and treat diseases like breast cancer in ways that were never before possible. Rishi Rawat teaches AI at the University of Southern Californias (USC) Clinical Science Center in Los Angeles. He is part of a team of scientists who are researching how AI and machine learning can more easily recognize cancerous growths in the breast. Rawat provides information about cancer cells to a computer. He says this data helps the machine learn. “. . . You can put the data into computers and they will learn the patterns and the pattern recognition is important to making decisions.”David Agus is another USC researcher. He says machines are not going to take the place of doctors. “Computers will not treat patients, but they will help make certain decisions and look for things that the human brain cant recognize by itself. Once a confirmed cancerous growth is removed, doctors still have to treat the patient to reduce the risk of cancer returning. The form of treatment depends on the kind of cancer.”Currently, researchers take a thin piece of tissue, put it on a small piece of glass and add color to better see the cells. That process could take days or even longer. Scientists say artificial intelligence can do something better than just count cells. Through machine learning, it can recognize complex patterns, or structures, and learn how the cells are organized. The hope is that machines will soon be able to make a quick identification of cancer that is free of human mistakes. “All of a sudden, we have the computing power to really do it in real time. . . We couldnt have done this, we didnt have the computing power to do this several years ago, but now its all changed.” Agus adds that the process could be done for almost no cost in the developing world. He says that having a large amount of information about patients is important for a machine to effectively do its job in medicine. The University of Southern California researchers are now only studying breast cancer. But doctors predict artificial intelligence will one day make a difference in all forms of cancer. 28. In Rishi Rawats research, _. A. the data put into computers contributes to cancer recognitionB. many cancers are being studied at the momentC. machine learning has replaced doctors work D. the focus is on the cure for cancer29.

What can we infer from the text ?A. AI can make decisions for doctors. B. Developing countries might be lack of funds. C. AI will hopefully make an accurate identification of cancer. D. Computing power has long helped with the identification of cancer. 31. What is the authors attitude towards AI used in treating cancer?A. Positive. B. Indifferent. C. Doubtful. D. Negative. DClaude Monet, Pablo Picasso and Leonardo da Vinci . the art world has never lacked talent. And now, a new painter is ready to join the list although this one isn't even human. Next month, auction house Christie's Prints and Multiples will make history by offering the first piece of art created by artificial intelligence (AI) for sale. The painting is a portrait of a man called Edmond De Bela- my，and is expected to be sold for up to $10,000. The work, which features a man with a mysterious look on his face, was created by software developed by the French art group Obvious. Laugero-Lasserre, an art collector, called the work "grotesque and amazing at the same time". This isnt the first example of Al-produced artwork, as AI has already been used to write poems and compose .songs. However, many people doubt whether it should be called art at all. According to Russian writer Leo Tolstroy (1828 -1910)，art is about creating emotion (情感). It's “a means of joining people together in the same feelings' he once said. So, if the emotion behind art is what makes it，the ability to create and use tools is what makes human Icings different from other species. And as a tool itself, the AI technology used to create the portrait is the result of a lot of effort made by several designers. Together, they “fed” the AI a huge collection of paintings from the 14th to the 18th centuries, until it was able to work out how to make similar paintings of its own. The introduction of AI art could be the beginning of a new artistic movement. However, not everyone is ready to welcome these high-tech artists just yet. “The human mind is what's behind the AI technolagy. And the human mind is no! a cold, hard fact,” said Oscar Schwartz, a profrssor of AI. “Rather, it in something that's created with our opinions and something that changes over32. Why does the author mention the artists in Puragraph 1?A. To intruduce their works.B. To make an advertisement.C. To present a piece of news.D. To focus the topic on the AI.33. What does the underlined would “grotesque” in Paragraph 3 mean?A. Strange.B. Simple. C. Messy. D.Undrrstandable.34. What can we learn about the AI-produced artwork according to Paragraph 5?A. It comes from human works.B. It shows human abilily to creute.C. It expresses human feeling effectively.D. It is beyond the imagination of humans.35. Compared with the AI, Oscar Schwartz thinks the human mind its.A.limitedB. decisiveC. changrableD. meaningful第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Last summer over 12,000 fans were at Wembley Arena in London, shouting and cheering. Thousands more were watching online. 36 It was esports, or competitive computer gaming. Millions of people in the UK play computer games for fun. Some of them have become professional gamers, playing games as their full-time job. 37 They practice for ten or more hours a day, five or six days a week. They do exercises like typing something and trying to type it faster and faster. They also study videos of other players and plan ways to beat them. 38 Are players athletes? Some say no. Esports players dont need to run, jump, throw or do big physical actions. At the moment, the UK government classifies esports as kinds of games, not as sports.But others say yes: esports are sports. Players do need some physical skills, especially hand-eye coordination, reflexes, accuracy and timing. If darts, snooker and shooting are classified as sports, then perhaps esports should be too. 39 And they will be an official medal sport in the Asian Games starting from 2022. Next step: the Olympics?For many esports fans and players, though, the most important thing is that esports are growing in popularity and importance. 40 A. But are esports really sports?B. All like playing computer games.C. Its not easy being a professional gamer, though.D. But this
