A language corpus(语料库)is a huge collection of texts taken from print、video,audio and
other sources.It is a powerful tool that can help you learn more about English words and
phrases.
The Corpus of Contemporary American English,or COCA,contains over one billion
words from 1990 to 2019.And it has many ways to help learners find out more about how
words are used.
How to use COCA
First,you will need to register with COCA to use the collection.You can register for two
kinds of accounts.A free account limits you to 20 searches for words within any 24- hour
period. A paid account will give you 200 searches within any 24-hour period.
Here are the steps for using COCA to find examples of how a word is used.We vill use
the word profound to show this.
On the home page.type the word profound in the white search box on the left side of the
screen.
Click find matching stringsjust below the search box.This will take you to a new
web-page.
On this new page.you will see the word profound in blue.Click on it.
You will now see a page with 100 examples using the word profound,and the word
profound is shown in green.The source of each example is shown on the left side.
If you click on the source on the left,COCA will show you a larger part of the text
containing the example.
If you want to see more examples,click the two forward page arrows >>at the top or
bottom left.This brings you to the next 100 examples.In this way,you might find more kinds
of sources for the examples.
21.What is COCA?
A.A textbook on American English changes.
B.A report about the development of English.
C.An Essential tool for beginners of English.
D.A database of Contemporary American English.
22.What is the disadvantage of a free account?
A.Only 200 searches available.
B.Less usage within 24 hours.
C.Only 20 examples per word.
D.Difficulty in applying for an account.
23.How can you find a broader source for each example?
A.Reenter this word on the home page.
B.Click another page with 100 more examples.
C.Click on the left side of the relevant example.
D.Click page arrows at the top or bottom left.

When I was in my second year in senior high school,I found a four-dollar-an-hour
part-time job at Villa-nova Pizza.Like many of my friends,I longed to earn some pocket
money from the job as well as gaining social experience.Just one week after I worked there,
Stubby, the manager,called me into his office.As the saying goes,life isn't a bed of roses.My
first job ended in failure,His reason was that I showed up late twice and took more breaks
than others.“Oh,I'm a loser,”I thought to myself.I believed that thought was shared by my
brothers, neither of whom had ever been fired,and my mother,though she would never express
it in those terms.
“I am too sad to do anything,”I complained to my father.After listening to my words,he
laughed.“It's not funny;I'm a loser,”I said.
“No,you're not.This is a part of growing up.You will be all right,my dear daughter,”he
said, patting my shoulder.Trust me.You are good enough.
I looked into my father's eyes and I could see he really trusted me.And I believed him.
Since then,“Trust me.You are good enough”are the only words I have repeated to myself.I
have worked hard to be a better person and cherished every chance I have got.
Finally,I succeeded in entering a good university.After graduation I found my dream
job.I couldn't wait to call my father and show my gratitude.
Look ahead when you experience something unpleasant and there is always someone
around believing in you.When they believe in us,we begin to believe in ourselves,too.They
tell us we are good enough over and over until we can hear it.

Throughout history,technological progress has brought new wealth but has not always
improved people's lives.Economists now say it is not clear whether artificial intelligence (AI)
will help or hurt society.
McKinley is a business consulting company.It said AI could add between $14 trillion
and $22 trillion of value to the world's economy.Supporters say the technology will create
wealth and improve living standards.Some go as far as saying AI will increase people's free
time and help them be more creative.-But others are worried the technology will lead to
losing jobs.They point to Hollywood writers and actors who are worried that they will be
replaced by technology.
The Internet arrived with a similar omen of more productivity,wealth and jobs. Recently,
the French bank Natixis noted in its research that most of the wealth has gone to a few
billionaires.And many of the jobs do not require highly paid,skilled workers.Some workers
hope the technology will increase pay and job satisfaction.But they are also concerned that the
technology could push people to work too hard.
Such concerns are not unfounded. History has shown the economic impact of
technological progress is generally uncertain,unequal and even harmful.Johnson recently
published a book,Power and Progress,with Dacron Acemoglu, another economist from MIT.
They studied technological progress over the last 1,000 years including clothing production,
train travel,and even food shopping.Johnson noted that it is easier to create something new
than to make sure it works for everyone.The two economists looked at an invention called the
spinning jenny that made it easier to turn cotton and wool into yarn(纱线 ).They said the
device helped clothing production and created wealth for many people in the late 1700s.
However, it also increased the demand for cotton and led to longer hours for workers.The
demand also led to the growth of slavery in the southern United States.
As for AI technology,Johnson wonders if it will make existing inequalities worse,
orcould it help us get back to something fairer?
28.What does the underlined wordomenmean in Paragraph 3?
A.Sign.
B.Requirement.
C.Experience
D.Level.
29.What does Paragraph l intend to tell us?
A. Lessons from history.
B. The excitement of creating new things,
C.Important technological innovations in history.
D. The application of the spinning jenny.
30. What is Johnson's attitude towards artificial intelligence?
A.Surprised.
B.Scared.
C.Objective
D.Unfavourable
31.Where is the text probably from?
A.A book review.
B. A science fiction novel.
D.An economics textbook.
C.A technology report.

A blind fish living within a Mexican cave system's deep, enduring darkness still
maintains some ability to sense light. As the cave fish no longer seem to rely on an internal
daily cycle and some sleep very little, biologist Inca Stein-dal and her colleagues were keen to
see if their bodies can still regulate cyclically through time. Most animals on Earth have an
internal clock for this.the circadian rhythm(昼夜节律)that uses light levels to make our bodies
fit in with our planet's day and night cycles. This rhythm is then used to cycle through
different biological processes that can influence our behaviour, such as our hunger cycles.
The Mexican blind cave fish live in a complex of over 30 isolated caves, within which
they have each independently adjusted to the dark. Their bodies are extra sensitive to
vibrations (震动), allowing them to sense changes in water currents for navigation(导航)in
compensation for their limited or complete lack of sight. This adaptation occurred despite the
fish from each cave evolving from the same species with fully functioning eyes. This
ancestral group still lives in the surface waters in the El Albra region of Mexico and some
parts of the Southwestern US.
Steindal and her team took tissue samples from the blind cave fish, from three isolated
caves, and their surface relatives and tested the cells in different conditions. They detected the
activation of several molecular(分子的)clock mechanisms when the cells were exposed to
light, even in the cave fish cells.“Non-visual light detection is maintained at a fundamental
cell-based level,” the researchers explain,although the cave fish cells did not respond as
strongly as those cells from surface fish. While there were some similarities between the fish
from the different caves compared to their surface relatives, there were also differences that
confirm their biological clock changes each evolved independently of one another via
different molecular mechanisms.
“We have provided proof that despite being blind, cells from the Mexican blind cave fish
can detect light and make their clocks fit in with a light/dark cycle,” Steindal and her
colleagues conclude. The team hopes these can help us learn more about the circadian rhythm
and provide an easier way to study animal adaptations to dark environments.
32.As to the cave fish, what did Steindal and her fellows try to find out?
A. If they have a circadian rhythm.B. If they rely on an internal daily cycle.
C. If they need to sleep.D. If they are able to sense light.
33. What is the main idea of Paragraph 2?
A. The Mexican cave fish's ancestors had normal vision.
B. The Mexican cave fish's home is in the dark deep sea.
C. The Mexican cave fish have adapted to darkness.
D. The Mexican cave fish have trouble navigating.
34.Which of the following can support the conclusion of the study?
A. Cave fish's unique molecular structures.
B.Non-visual light detection in cave fish cells.
C. The cave fish's adjustment t0 molecular clock mechanisms.
D. Biological clock changes evolved independently.
35.What is a suitable title for the text?
A.Why Do the Mexican Cave fish Live in the Darken
B.A Blind Cave fish Can Still Perceive Light.
C.How Can the Mexican Cave fish Fit in with the Day Cycles?
D.The Biological Clocks of the Life in the Sen Are Constantly Changing.

pre-book but stayed in whatever they could find on the day,which varied from B&.Bs to
camping in fields full of sheep.__38__
Backpackers are also known for travelling with little money,but few begin with as little
as Othmane Zolati from Morocco.In 2015,he embarked on(开始)an almost four-year journey,
but he started out with just $80(式 64).He zigzagged(曲折前进)across 24countries on the
African continent and filmed his experience,aiming to show the world the diversity and
beauty of Africa,all on a shoestring budget.He said that he often had to do odd jobs and rely
on the kindness of strangers to be able to afford to keep travelling.__39__South Africa was
Othmane's final destination and,on reaching it,he said,It was one of the best moments in my
life.It made me know that if you fight for something,you really stick to that goal...then you
will reach it.”

As my parents worked a late shift,my three small sisters looked at me.“What's for
dinner?one of them said.The last time I made dinner was when I made pizza in high
school.Now,I had three mouths to feed—ages two,six and nine—but I was short on ideas.Like
a deer in headlights,I searched for a possible answer.
“Where's the Twister(转盘游戏)game?”
“Not Twister,”Abby,my oldest sister,scolded,“Dinner.”
I walked to the closet,pulled out the game.and tested the spinner(转盘 ).Then I slid a
couple of sheets of paper between the plastic arrow and the cardboard base and divided it into
four quadrant(象限).I looked at my sisters.
“Who wants chocolate?”Alice,my youngest sister,screamed happily.Abby crossed her
arms.“Mum wouldn't let that happen.”
“Mum's not here.”I wrote in the upper right quadrant:chocolate.Andy,my middle
sister,asked,“What are you doing?”
“You'll see in a second.”I pointed at the second area.“How about noodles?”Alice started
dancing around in a circle.
“When we get four options written on the spinner,we'll spin to see what we do for dinner
tonight.”
My youngest sister said,“Dress up like superheroes.”
“Absolutely!”I wrote superheroes,with no idea how that would turn into a dinner
idea,hoping the dial would land somewhere else.They debated the final section for a few
seconds and then collectively decided on pizza.If they had suggestedRun around at the
mall,I would have written it down.I set the spinner in the middle of the table.We gathered
around the spinner,and I held up my hands.“We are going to spin it once,and whatever we
land on、that's what we'll do tonight.
Abby shook her head.“I don't think this is a good idea.”“It's okay,honey.Mum will
understand.”
Alice yelled,“I want to spin it.”Alice's try sent the little,plastic arrow flying around and
around until it landed on...pizza.Everyone shouted,“Pizza”,including me.I still had no idea
what we were going to do.Abby looked at me.“But what are we going to do?”
