21、 Want to get your package delivered via robots? Now there’s an app for that. If you live in Washington D.C., or Redwood, you may have glimpsed a small, boxy robot rolling along a local sidewalk, minding its own business, but attracting the attention of many curious onlookers.
The autonomous machines were part of a pilot program last year by Starship Technologies focusing on delivering meals from local restaurants in dozens of cities around the world. This week, the company unveiled plans to broaden its delivery service beyond food to include package, a move that led it to declare itself “the world’s first robot package delivery service”. The next time you order food, this cute robot might roll up to deliver it. The package delivery service is not available to everyone yet.
The wheeled robots have a top speed of 4mph and can detect obstacles from 30 feet away. “The robot can operate through anything,” Nick Handrick, head of operations for Starship’s D.C. office, sad, “If you had something in the way-a stick –it’s able to climb sticks.”
To sign up for the service, which costs a little more than $10 per month, customers need to download the company’s app. Customers then create a “Starship Delivery Address”, a unique address inside a Starship facility, where they can have package sent from places such as Amazon.com. Once a package is delivered to the Starship address, customers receive a text notification that allows them to schedule a home delivery via robot. The robots are opened by customers via a mobile phone code.
Barriers exist for robotic ground delivery, with many states requiring that humans be in control of delivery robots. Those regulations haven’t stopped Starship Technologies from accumulating experience on streets around the globe ahead of the company’s latest launch. The company says its robots have covered more than 125,000 miles in more than 100 cities in 20 countries.
【1】What can we know about the robotic delivery?
A.It is part of a trial project by Starship Technologies.
B.The robotic delivery is available to everyone at present.
C.You can use the service free of charge via smart phones.
D.The robots are opened by customers with a text notification.
【2】What does the underlined word“unveiled”in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A.Revised. B.Released. C.Restored. D.Reset.
【3】What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A.The good news of the service.
B.How the robotic delivery works.
C.The disadvantages of the robotic delivery.
D.Robotic delivery develops despite challenges.
【4】What can be the best title for the text?
A.New Robot Was Invented B.Wheelless Robots Are on the Way
C.How Robots Deliver Packages D.Packages Will Be Delivered by Robots
22、Erica James is the author of 23 best-selling novels. Now, the romance novelist shares the books that shaped her career.
Three Men in a Boat
Jerome K Jerome
This was the initial book that made me laugh out loud. Anything I’d read previously had been school texts. Reading them was like watching paint dry, but suddenly here was something exciting which clearly shows a great many features of human behaviour. From then on, I fell in love with reading.
A Woman of Substance
Barbara Taylor Bradford
I was a mother when I read this novel and was thoroughly swept up in the rags to riches story of Emma Harte. Barbara created a strong sense of family and it sowed a tiny seed within me that I might create my own word though putting pen to paper.
Saint Maybe
Anne Tyler
Saint Maybe is a sad example of how one small mistake can result in tragedy for a family. As always with Anne Tyler, there’s sadness and humor within the pages, but the true strength of this novel lies in the author’s ability to write with sympathy
The Marriage Pact

23、阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
A HOLIDAY jet pilot (飞行员) said that he would land and call the police after a woman refused to stop smoking.
He warned Maureen Harkavy, “Put that cigarette out, or I’ll land the plane and have you arrested.”
Maureen, 47, was so shocked she wrote to the airline’s chairman. But his reply was even ruder.
“You seem to think you have a God-given right to pollute your neighbours’ atmosphere,” wrote John Ferriday of Paramount Airways.
(a)Said Maureen, “I only found out about it when I was checking in. I’m a nervous flyer so I lit a cigarette during the flight. A stewardess (空姐) asked me to put it out, but I said I wanted to carry on as there was no rule against smoking on the plane.” She was just finishing her cigarette when the pilot arrived.
(b) I’ve never seen such an unpleasant letter. She said, “I don’t think I’ll ever fly again.” But there was a funny side. Maureen explained, “We were offered duty-free (免税) cigarette from the stewardess on the plane!”
(c) Mr. Ferriday went on; “Believe me, you haven’t. Especially when you travel on my planes.”
Maureen and her husband Michael were moved to Paramount flight just before they left Portugal. But they were not told of the company’ s (公司的) no smoking policy.
(d) “He was loud and rude,” said Maureen. “He said if I lit another cigarette he would land the plane at Bordeaux and hand me to the French police.”
Later, from her home in Mosely, Birmingham, Maureen wrote to the company and received the rude reply.

24、Dotted with sequins (亮片) and glitter (闪亮小物件), the royal blue dance dress enchanted (使心醉) in the spot tonight. The girl wearing the costume danced on the floor. As the drumbeat changed, the diamond fringes (云图条纹) of the dress flew in tune with the girl’s changing steps. Finally, she struck a neat pose onstage before the audience.
The girl described is actually me. I have learned Latin dance since childhood. However, into adolescence, conflicts brought by Latin dance overwhelmed me. The fair skin and slim bodies of mainstream beauty stand in contrast to what Latin dance pursues: power and wildness. As a blooming (妙龄的) girl, I long for beauty admired by all. But a girl like me with strong muscles stands out in the crowd. Disturbed feelings caused by unkind judgment piled up in my heart. It was so much that I chose to compromise.
Luckily, the match for the Chinese youth team in Vietnam shifted my attention, dragging me out of anxiety. Players from different countries gathered together to fight for the honors. And I was no exception. Even though I had exerted (尽力表现) myself, I was shocked to find that I didn’t get the score I expected. The reason, obviously, lay in my diet. With my reduced intake of protein and carbohydrates, I visibly lost a lot of weight, but at the cost of a sense of power and speed in dance.
In between games, I saw a little girl from Europe take firm and powerful steps in the competition. There was an inward intensity (强度) and outward charm, which caused my attention. Her beauty came from her full muscles. The confidence in her eyes was unstoppable. Sure enough, she won the top prize. Full of admiration,I made her acquaintance and shared my dilemma. I can’t recall the conversation, but I do remember the confidence that inspired me and some of her words: “Just be yourself.”
Looking back. I’m still the dancing girl, but my heart has grown lighter. Something within me is dancing.
【1】What happened to the author in her adolescence?
A．She was forced to give up her hobby.
B．She felt upset about her appearance.
C．She was too shy to dance in public
D．She challenged mainstream beauty standards.
【2】Why did the author fail to get her ideal score?
A．She didn’t make a great physical effort.
B．Her body shape didn’t meet the standard.
C．She made an error during the performance.
D．Her dance lacked a sense of power and speed.
【3】What can we learn from the passage?
A．The European girl’s confidence stuck in the author’s mind.
B．Latin dance features power, speed and gentleness.
C．The top-prize winner’s dance had an outward intensity and inward charm.
D．After the match, the author’s dance steps became lighter.
【4】Which of the following best describes the author’s story ?
A．A friend is a second self.
B．Adversity makes a man wise, not rich.
C．Being yourself is the key to success.
D．Keep on going and never give up.
