14、escribe herself?A. A creative manager. B. A famous writer.C. A team player. D. A self-starter.Of course, she wasnt really my aunt and, out of fear, I never called her that to her face. I only referred to her as “My Aunt Fannie” because the name always made my father laugh quietly and gave my mother
15、cause to look strictly at both of usat me for being disrespectful of my elder and at my father for encouraging my bad behavior. I enjoyed both reactions so I looked for every opportunity to work the name into as many conversations as possible.As a young woman, my mother had worked in the kitchen of
16、a large Victorian farmhouse. During those years my mother helped Aunt Fanny make the best blueberry jam (蓝莓酱) ever tasted by anyone in Glenfield. She was well-known for her jam and for never sharing the recipe with others. Even though my mother knew the recipe by heart, as long as Aunt Fannie was al
17、ive, she never made the jam without Aunt Fannie in our kitchen to direct the process and preserve the secret.Each August, my mother would prepare me for Aunt Fannies visit. One year, after I had helped with the jam process Aunt Fannie gave me a coin and then made me promise that I would never spend
18、it. “Hold onto this coin,” she said, “and someday you will be rich. I still have my very first coin, given to me by my grandmother.” So I kept the coin in a small box and waited to become rich.I now have the blueberry jam recipe and the coin from Aunt Fannie. In peoples eyes Aunt Fannies success res
19、ulted from that secret recipe. But to me, it was just a common recipe. Neither have significantly made me become a rich person, but I keep them as reminders to hold onto the valuable things in life. Money can make you feel rich for a while, but it is the relationships and the memories of time spent
20、with friends and family that truly leave you wealthy. And that is a fortune that anyone can build.24Why did the author always use the name “My Aunt Fannie” in conversations?A.

A Fortune Built from a CoinD. A Relationship of TrustFor the last 10 years, job listing site CareerBuilder has put out a li
23、st called “The Most Unbelievable Excuses for Calling in Sick.” For example, an employee said he couldnt come in because his false teeth flew out the window while he was driving down the highway. The excuses were gathered through a survey that ran among 3,000 workers and 2,000 hiring managers.The lis
24、t is entertaining but there is a more serious issue hidden in this story. Federal law does not require private employers to give any paid sick leave, making the US the only one of the worlds wealthiest nations that doesnt guarantee workers this right. Since 2006, cities and states have been adopting
25、 their own paid sick leave laws. California, Washington. DC and 13 cities including New York now require many employers to provide some sort of paid sick leave. But according to the Institute for Womens Policy Research, 39% of private employees still have no access to paid days off. In the CareerBui
26、lder survey, 38% of respondents said they go to work when theyre sick because they cant afford to miss a days pay. The survey also shows that workers are taking a risk when they come up with far-fetched excuses. Nearly one in five employers says they have fired an employee for calling in sick with a
27、 fake excuse. If youre spending the day at the beach while pretending to be ill, dont post about it on Facebook. Nearly one in four employers (24%) has caught an employee lying about being sick by checking social media.The motto of this story: If you really are sick, dont come to work and spread you
28、r bacteria around the office. But if you just want to stay home, go with “Im running a fever.” rather than one of these ridiculous excuses.28The underlined word “far-fetched” in Paragraph 2 probably means _.A. impossible to find B. likely to be trueC. difficult to believe D. easy to believe29What pr
29、oblem is exposed in the survey?A. Many employees have no access to paid sick leave.B. Private employers make their workers work extra hours.C. Some employees are not satisfied with their boss.D. Private employers sometimes break the Federal law.30An employee will run the risk of being fired if he _.
30、A. asks for sick leaveB. lies about being sickC. posts his holiday on FacebookD. spreads bacteria around the office31What will the author present following the last paragraph?A. A list of survey data.B. A list of serious issues.C. A list of reasonable facts.D. A list of ridiculous excuses.Siri is an
31、 artificial intelligence (AI) that you can carry around in the pocket, where it waits patiently to be told what to do. In the week we spent together, my AI assistant has performed admirably in finding me restaurants, or the location of the nearest coffee shop.A typical command might be: “Reserve a t
32、able for two at a good French restaurant in San Francisco.” Siri responds by presenting a list of top-rated restaurants that can be booked on OpenT. If you say which time you want, it can book you a table without your lifting a finger. In some ways Siri is just a fancy front-end (前端程序 ) to the 35 si
33、tes it can connect to, from taxi booking sites to movie review databases. But whats new is the way it can analyze the intentions of its master or mistress and use those sites to put them into action.Siri attaches probabilities to the explanation of each word and cross-references (对照检索) with your loc
34、ation and other data, some of which you must provide yourself. To send email reminders, Siri obviously needs to know your email address. To “find me the flower shop closest to work”, it needs to know where you work. To pay bills or buy airline tickets, it would need access to your credit card.That r
35、aises the question of how far we are willing to trust a piece of software that can go and do things for us based on what it “thinks” we mean, a topic that occupies some engineers working on artificial intelligence. The more data, and power, you give your virtual assistant, the more damage it could d
36、o. Siri may be simple, and always shows its explanation of a command before carrying it out. But it gives users a preview of a new balance between privacy, trust and convenience that the expansion of AI into everyday life is likely to develop.32What is Siri?A. A digital e-book reader.B. A music-shar
37、ing software.C. A voice-controlled website.D. An artificial intelligence software.33When asked “do I need my umbrella today?”, what will Siri probably respond with?A. The list of umbrella makers.B. The list of umbrella shops.C. The local weather forecast.答案第 6 页，总 18 页D. The local climate conditions
