When I was young I wanted to be a model, so when a national contest was staged, I convinced my parents to take me for an audition （试演）. I was selected and told I had potential. They said that for only $900 I could attend a weekend event which dozens of the most prestigious （有声望的） modeling agencies from around the world would attend. At 13, my hopes of fame and fortune clouded all judgment and I begged my parents to let me go. We have never been rich, but they saw my enthusiasm and agreed.
I imagined being signed by some famous model companies. For months, any boredom or disappointment was pushed aside because I knew I would soon have the chance to be a real model. I thought I would grace the covers of famous magazines!
Of course, I wasn't signed, but what hurt me most was being told that if I grew to 5'9" （about 1. 75 metres）I could be a success. I prayed fora growth spurt（冲刺） because I could not imagine giving up my dream. I made an appointment with a local modeling agency and the agent demanded $500 for classes, $500 for a photo shoot, and $300 for other expenses. My parents only agreed after hours and hours of me begging.
The agency sent me out on a few auditions, but with every day I didn't receive a call I grew more depressed. The final straw came in July after I had decided to focus on commercial modeling. There was an open call in New York City. We spent hours driving and another few hours waiting, only to be told that I was too short. I was devastated （感到难以承受的）.
Years later I realized that the trip to New York was good as it made me notice I didn't actually love modeling, just the idea of it. I wanted to be special and I was innocently determined to reach an impossible goal. The experience has made me stronger and that will help me in the future.

The term "graffiti" is an Italian word meaning scratching or scribbling （乱涂）. It entered the English language in the 1850s, specifically to describe the casual wall writing that experts found in Pompeii and the Roman tombs. Originally a term used only in ancient scribbling, the word has undergone considerable expansion of meaning in the past 75 years so that it now refers to any written message on a wall. Graffiti are characterized by their casualness, if they were more formal, they would be known as inscriptions （铭文）.
The first piece of graffiti was found on one of the walls of the city Pompeii. which was destroyed by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. It was one of 1, 600 pieces of graffiti uncovered in Pompeii during a dig in the 19th century. Not surprisingly, there is much evidence of graffiti writing on the pyramid and temples of ancient Egypt. It is likely that ever since people have had walls and materials to scratch or paint with, they have been engaged in this simplest form of communication.
The writing of graffiti gives people a unique opportunity to achieve some kind of public audience. Thus short poems, declarations of love, pieces of political and revolutionary polemic（论战） and criticisms of institutions and people form a significant part of graffiti.
Apart from its usefulness in terms of self-expression, graffiti is also a valuable source for historians. There is always the possibility that historical events may be recorded by the presence of graffiti. Perhaps the most interesting example of this is the graffiti relating to the gladiatorial （角斗士） -contests held in Pompei. Graffiti can also give us a unique view into the daily life and customs of a people, for its casual expression encourages the recording of details that more formal writing would tend to ignore.
In the late 1970s, graffiti became popular. A thought written on a toilet wall in Wolverhampton can now be read in Chicago or Adelaide. In its own way. this is probably the most fascinating example of McLuhan's concept of "the global village". We now have a worldwide toilet wall.
46. According to the first paragraph, graffiti ____.
A. is another name for "inscription"
B. got its name from the English language
C. was born in the 1850s
D. mainly refers to casual writing or pictures on walls
47. What can be inferred from the second paragraph
A. Graffiti has a long history.
B. Graffiti is an attractive form of art.
C. Graffiti made the ancient city Pompeii famous.
D. Graffiti was ancient Egyptian's main way of communication.
48. What does the third and fourth paragraphs mainly tell us
A. Graffiti's great value. B. Graffiti's features.
C. Graffiti's way of expression. D. Graffiti's connection with people's daily life.
49. The graffiti relating to the gladiatorial contests is mentioned in the passage to prove that ___.
A. graffiti can show people's customs
B. graffiti can provide valuable historical evidence
C. graffiti was mainly used to record important events
D. graffiti can provide more detailed information than formal writing
50. The underlined sentence in the last paragraph implies that ____.
A. the presence of graffiti makes the world closely connected
B. the concept of "the global village" is famous worldwide
C. graffiti has become very popular all over the world
D. people like using toilet walls to share their graffiti
D
Some people worry that there's too much technology in our lives. And they may have a point, given how countless people now carry the internet around in their pocket and use it as a primary form of communication. It's practically difficult to shun technology in our world. There are computer microchips （微芯片） in our watches, our cars, light switches, even our pets! Where will it end
Well, if certain people have their way, it'll go even further. We'll have microchips implanted into our brains that can interact with the computers by thought alone. It may sound like something from the science fiction, but in many ways, things look quite promising. Thanks to the ability to send and receive information remotely via computers, microchips and other related devices have long been put into brains.
For example, electrodes have been implanted in the brains of epilepsy patients to better record and even predict the abnormal neurological （神经病学的） activity. Similarly, deep-brain stimulation, through implanted devices that cause activity in key brain regions, is an established treatment for things like -Parkinson's disease, and is even being looked into for illnesses like depression.
However, it's another thing to place such devices in healthy individuals. There are the practical concerns, not least of which is what these chips will be made of. The inside of the brain is a mass of highly reactive chemicals and electrical activity. Implants would need to be inert （静止的） enough to not upset the delicate processes by their presence, but also sensitive enough to read and process the activity around them. Current technology has made impressive progress with this, but if it were to be rolled out to millions of people, we'd need to be 100 per cent certain that it's safe.
How many people will actually want to have technology literally put into their brain A surprising 60 per cent of Americans say they'd be okay with it, but that's when it's purely. theoretical. In reality, the possibility of having strangers stick chips in your brain is likely to prove unattractive, especially for a population where millions get mad at fictional microchips in vaccines （疫苗）， and even more are frightened of dentists.
Ultimately, the technology of computer-brain interface （接口） implants is still far away from us.
51. What's the function of the first paragraph
A. A summary of the article. B. An introduction to the main topic.
C. An overview of the whole article. D. An argument over the main topic.
52. What does the underlined word "implanted" mean in paragraph 2
A. To put something into someone's body by an operation.
B. To design something new over a period of time.
C. To prevent something from changing rapidly.
D. To get rid of something steadily.
53. What does the author want to tell us by the examples in paragraph 3
A. The process of human-computer interaction.
B. The possible treatment for particular diseases.
C. The future of microchips and devices alike.
D. The existing application of microchip implants.
54. How may most Americans react to implanting chips in the brain in reality
A. They may reject it. B. They may expect it.
C. They may adjust to it. D. They may feel curious about it,
55. Which word can best describe the technology of computer-brain interface implants
A. Imaginary. B. Practical. C. Unfulfilled. D. Impossible.

After being evacuated （疏散） from her Florida home following Hurricane Michael. Amber Ge was attempting to get an idea of the destruction left behind when she discovered a sign of trouble. As reported by ABC News, Gee was using NOAA's interactive aerial map（交互式航拍地图） to check the damage done to her and her family's homes when she spotted the word "H-E-L-P" spelled out in the yard.
The NOAA website allows those impacted in the hurricane to get a look at specific streets or homes by zooming in on （用变焦距镜头拉近） aerial imagery of the affected area. According to ABC News, Gee was looking at one of these photos when she noticed a cry for help spelled out in wood in the front yard of her grandmother's Bay County home.
Though her grandmother had evacuated, several other family members, including Gee's uncle and his wife, had stayed behind. After spotting the message, Gee alerted （向…. 报警） Bay County Emergency Services, who went to the house and rescued those who were trapped in the residence.
"Apparently, they had to cut through a lot of downed trees to get there, " Gee told ABC News. Her uncle, Ernest, had reportedly used wood from one of those trees to spell out the message.
After the rescue, Bay County Emergency Services posted the incident on their Facebook page, writing, "This is an incredible story of how people are working together in this situation. Someone from another county was using the mapping app to check property in rural Bay County and noticed the word 'help' spelled out in the grass in wood. That person immediately contacted us and sent the picture and we dispatched emergency workers. "
Meanwhile, Gee says she is thankful that she was able to use the mapping tool to get her family to safety. "The hurricane has turned everything upside down everywhere. Some were more fortunate than others. I'm just happy that everybody is safe and sound and, hopefully, soon we will all get through this together and recover from this storm, "she said.
