第二部分 阅读理解（满分20分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Two of the saddest words in the English language are “if only”. I live my life with the goal of never having to say those words, because they convey regret, lost opportunities, mistakes, and disappointment.
My father is famous in our family for saying, “Take the extra minute to do it right.” I always try to live by the “extra minute” rule. When my children were young and likely to cause accidents, I always thought about what I could do to avoid an “if only” moment, whether it was something minor like moving a cup full of hot coffee away from the edge of a counter, or something that required a little more work such as taping padding (衬垫) onto the sharp corners of a glass coffee table.
I don’t only avoid those “if only” moments when it comes to safety. It’s equally important to avoid “if only” in our personal relationships. We all know people who lost a loved one and regretted that they had foregone an opportunity to say “I love you” or “I forgive you.” When my father announced he was going to the eye doctor across from my office on Good Friday, I told him that it was a holiday for my company and I wouldn’t be here. But then I thought about the fact that he’s 84 years old and I realized that I shouldn’t give up an opportunity to see him. I called him and told him I had decided to go to work on my day off after all.
I know there will still be occasions when I have to say “if only” about something, but my life is definitely better because of my policy of doing everything possible to avoid that eventuality. And even though it takes an extra minute to do something right, or it occasionally takes an hour or two in my busy schedule to make a personal connection, I know that I’m doing the right thing. I’m buying myself peace of mind and that’s the best kind of insurance for my emotional well-being.
1、Which of the following is an example of the “extra minute” rule?
A．Start the car the moment everyone is seated.
B．Leave the room for a minute with the iron working.
C．Move an object out of the way before it trips someone.
D．Wait for an extra minute so that the steak tastes better.
2、The author decided to go to her office on Good Friday to ______.
A．meet her father who was already an old man
B．keep her appointment with the eye doctor
C．join in the holiday celebration of the company
D．finish her work before the deadline approached
3、The underlined word “foregone” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ______.
A．wasted B．lacked
C．avoided D．abandoned
4、What is the best title for the passage?
A．The Two Saddest Words. B．The Emotional Well-being.
C．The Most Useful Rule. D．The Peace of Mind.

B
Microsoft has developed a new smartphone app that interprets eye signals and translates them into letters, allowing people with motor neurone disease to communicate with others from a phone.
The GazeSpeak app combines a smartphone’s camera with artificial intelligence to recognize eye movements in real time and convert them into letters, words and sentences.
For people suffering from ALS（渐冻症）, also known as motor neurone disease, eye movement can be the only way they are able to communicate.
“Current eye-tracking input systems for people with ALS or other motor impairments are expensive, not robust under sunlight, and require frequent re-calibration (重新校对) and substantial, relatively immobile setups,” said Xiaoyi Zhang, a researcher at Microsoft who developed the technology.
“To mitigate the drawback，we created GazeSpeak, an eye-gesture communication system that runs on a smartphone, and is designed to be low-cost, robust, portable and easy to learn.”
The app is used by the listener by pointing their smartphone at the speaker. A chart that can be stuck to the back of the smartphone is then used by the speaker to determine which eye movements to make in order to communicate.
The sticker shows four grids of letters, which each correspond to a different eye movement. By looking up, down, left or right, the speaker selects which grids the letters they want belong to. The artificial intelligence algorithm（计算程序） is then able to predict the word or sentence they are trying to say.
1、Who is the smartphone app designed for?
A．People with motor eye disease.
B．People suffering from eye communication.
C．People with problems in intelligence.
D．People suffering from motor neurone disease.
2、The underlined word “mitigate” in the fifth paragraph probably means ________.
A．relieve B．get rid of
C．remove D．find
3、According to the text, ________.
A．for people suffering from ALS, eye movement is one of the best ways to communicate.
B．a new communication system that runs on a smartphone is designed to be immobile.
C．the speaker could use the app by pointing their smartphone at the listener.
D．the artificial intelligence algorithm will translate sentences for speakers.
