21、 I always loved looking at this hidden lane as I drove my children to school. Lying between a pizza restaurant and a house, the lane is easily overlooked. If you don’t take the time to glance to the left at the stop sign, you’ll miss it.
The tree-lined lane is pretty in every season. I have its images hanging in our home and at my workplace. Many people have asked me about them. When I told them where I took the pictures, they were always surprised. They probably never slowed down enough from their busy lives to notice the great beauty so close to home.
I supposed there might be a big old house at the end of the lane, but when my husband, Ron, and I went up there one day to give the owners copies of my pictures, we were both pretty surprised.
The house looks like it came right out of colonial Williamsburg, Virginia, and the grounds are breathtaking. You would never know that just a quarter-mile down the lane is a busy road.
I adore the natural beauty of the countryside throughout the year, from the heavy snows of winter to the bright new greens of spring, and I hope to always live where the seasons change. The place we live is a wonderful place to raise children, and the country is just a short drive away.
Empty nesters, Ron and I take many drives together, especially in the fall. We always head for the country. As I get older, I value the peace and beauty of the countryside even more. If you take the time to look around, you will always discover something wonderful, no matter where you are. What an amazing country we live in!
【1】Why did most people feel surprised at the author’s pictures?

【2】What’s the purpose of the author and her husband visiting the old house?
A.To explore the lane.
B.To take good pictures.
C.To find a busy road nearby.
D.To offer photos to its owners.
【3】How does the author feel about her living surroundings?
A.Indifferent. B.Lonely.
C.Satisfied. D.Silent.
【4】What can we learn about the author’s present situation?
A.She is raising her children happily.

22、 After walking miles of expo hall carpeting, watching countless live demos, and sitting through God knows how many press announcements, we’re ready to declare these ten products to be the best things we saw at CES (国际消费电子展) 2017. Of all the amazing and beautiful gadgets on display here in Las Vegas, these are the products which exhibit the strong sense of innovation and vision within their categories. They achieve this through exquisite industrial design, innovative engineering, and simply seeing the future and realizing it in a product you can touch and hold. The following are three of the ten.
CES is full of toys that promise to turn your kid into a coding wiz (编码奇才). The issue? Not all of them are fun to play with. This week Lego introduced Boost, a new kit that lets kids bring their existing bricks to life with three different modules. You can program Lego to walk, roll, flash, and make noise via an app that uses drag and drop code. Kids probably won’t notice they’re building logic skills when they program their hot (自动程序；网上机器人) to shoot a dart at their sister when she walks by, and that’s the point. It’s a sneaky way to get kids to learn, which is exactly why they’ll love it.
The Hub robot is adorable, but LG’s animated voice assistant also provides a clear peak at the future of in-home interfaces. These devices run Alexa, but they do more than your average Echo. A screen on the front doesn’t just surface visual info like weather forecast, it provides personality: blinking eyes patiently await your commands. Ask for your favorite tunes, and the little robot busts a move as it plays them. You can customize the wake word to anything you’d like, and the big and mini versions of the robots have the exact same features. The only difference is the size of the screen and the power of their built-in speakers.
Good speakers are furniture. They add to a room’s decor, and they begged to be touched. The cylindrical Beoplay M5 is a wireless speaker that fits those criteria—its wool covering is soft and gorgeous, and it’s topped by an aluminum disc that functions as a satisfyingly tactile volume knob. The sound is excellent, with impressive volume and gobs of bass. Audio streams in over Bluetooth. AirPlay, or Spotify, and it has Chromecast built in, so you can command the jams by talking to your Google Home. It’s not a portable speaker (it plugs into the wall and has no battery) but is made for multi-room setups—-group a few M5s together, or pair them with other Beoplay multi-room speakers like the A6 and A9.
【1】Which of the following describes the common traits of these products?
A.They represent the edge-cutting industrial design.
B.They are all for entertainment and recreation.
C.They are targeted at young people.
D.They are available on the market now.
【2】What does the writer mean by saying “Good speakers are furniture”?
A.Because they fit well in criteria.
B.Because they plug into the wall without battery and make up for multi-room setups.
C.Because they fit in with the decoration of the room and feel comfortable.
D.Because they have excellent sound, impressive volume and gobs of bass.
【3】Which of the following is NOT true?
A.It is painstaking to select the top ten gadgets among so many ingenious inventions.
B.Beoplay M5 features wonderful looking, excellent sound quality and portability.
C.The screen on the Hub robot provides visible information and personality.
D.The new Lego kit Boost motivates kids to learn programming without their realization.
23、As the leaves change color in autumn students return to school. As a frost cove’s the ground each night, we are busy planting vegetables in northern Wisconsin.
Five public school districts in northern Wisconsin recently built high tunnels（隧道）for the winter growing season. The schools’ high tunnels, made of metal frame and a plastic covering the raised beds, keep plants warm enough to extend the growing season through the winter and allow an earlier spring planting. Our very short growing season occurs almost entirely during the summer vacation months. This makes the high tunnels necessary in allowing students to gain experience of growing and marketing produce in a cold climate where production at this scale couldn’t otherwise happen during the school year.
During the summer, the high tunnels on school grounds still need to remain there. We developed the Agripreneur program（Agriculture + Entrepreneur）to support students’ work in the high tunnels during months when students are on holidays. This program was made possible by a farm and a university. Each summer, a pair of students will be hired from every high school to care for and sell a single crop in exchange for instruction from professional local farmers, growing experience, and a salary.
The Agripreneur program appeared for its first season during the summer of 2015. Students grew tomatoes that were sold to community members, local restaurants and the school cafeterias（食堂）. The program met its goal of increasing the number of local vegetables consumed, both within the region and in school lunches. Sales to school cafeterias will continue through the winter as the high tunnels’ change to nutrient root vegetables, all grown by students.
We may live in winter, but with the recent addition of these school high tunnels, our students are able to eat the freshest local vegetables available—even during the coldest months.
【1】What do we know about the school’s high tunnels?
A. They are actually greenhouses.
B. They are actually metal containers.
C. They are entirely used for planting vegetables in summer
D. They are mainly used as reading rooms for students.
【2】High tunnels are being used in the school districts because of________.
A. students’ interest in planting. B. the larger need of crops there.
C. the short growing season there. D. no fresh vegetables available there.
【3】The Agripreneur program was created to________.
A. get farmers to produce more crops.
B. check students’ work on the high tunnels.
C. get instructions from professional local farmers.
D. help students do their work in the high tunnels in holidays.
【4】What can be the best title for the text?
A. Crops Are Planted in Winter
B. Students Are Becoming Scientists
C. Schools Have the Vegetable Market
D. New Growing Season Begins Under High Tunnels
24、 When is a media company not a media company? When it’s on the Internet. YouTube and Facebook convey what their users read and watch, and sell advertising next to it. Edited content, financed by advertising? It sounds a lot like the model that dominated media for much of the 20th century. And yet these firms have long claimed to be mere "platforms”，passively hosting content they say they are neither able nor willing to assess. It's true that they are not like traditional media companies. Much of their content is donated by their users; and algorithms (算) not editors, decide what is most worthy of attention. But they are getting more like them every day.
The anger over “fake news” has led Facebook to employ fact checkers, hire editorial staff to control the algorithms, crack down on the spread of junk and invest in tools to help out journalists.
So what kind of media companies are Facebook, YouTube and the rest? Not good ones. Their enormous power to inform, and the huge potential value of forming connections between people around the world, have in fair measure been wasted by prioritising attention-grabbing content 一 regardless of its quality, truthfulness or seriousness, which has made the online content cheap and its tone rude.
The tech giants are now coming under increasing pressure to clean up their acts. Perhaps more exactly, the advertisers have begun to revolt （反抗）：Google and Facebook now take nine out of every 10 new dollars spent on online advertising, although they have been accused of marking their own homework'", making unconvincing and unverifiable （无可考证的）claims about its effectiveness.
Meanwhile, the companies are avoiding responsibility for setting rules over their services. Excuses that the problem is too technically complex are not convincing: their engineers have proven skillful at cracking down on, say, copyright violation when it suits the firms. Nor does a firm position on free speech hold up: history is filled with examples of how a fair balance can be struck. Those have involved dialogue and democratic considerations that social media companies have thus iar mostly disdained （轻视）.They should do so no longer. The firms have enjoyed the privileges and profits of media for long enough: it's time they picked up the responsibilities too.
【1】What does the author think of YouTube and Facebook's claim in Paragraph 1?
A.It is unexpected. B.It is absurd.
C.It is practical. D.It is influential.
【2】YouTube and Facebook aren't considered as good media companies mainly because of .
A.their low quality content B.their prejudice against morality
C.their being a time-waster D.their lack of control of speech
【3】According to the text, tech giants' advertising business .
A.may not actually satisfy advertisers' needs
B.has invited users^ questioning of privacy issues
C.will be cut down to respond to public discontent
D.may not gain profit as ad spending keeps rising
【4】In the last paragraph, the author suggests that new media companies should .
A.improve their overall technology
B.abandon the democratic ideal of free speech
C.take responsibility for regulating copyright issues
D.act as a medium despite their Internet background
