21、Worst Game Ever？
E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial is a video game that came out for the Atari 2600 game system in 1982. It was based on a very popular film of the same name. Star programmer Howard Warshaw created it with consultation from the film director Steven Spielberg.
It was July 27th, 1982. Howard Warshaw was hot off the success of his most recent game, Raiders of the Lost Ark. He received a call from Atari C.E.O, Ray Kassar. Atari had bought the rights to make a video game version of Spilberg’s Movie, E.T., which had just been released（发行） in June. Kassar told Warshaw that Spielberg had specifically asked for Warshaw to make the game Warshaw was honored, but there was one huge problem. Atari needed the game finished by September 1st in order to start selling it during the Christmas season.
It had taken Warshaw six months to create Raiders of the Lost Ark. The game he made prior to that took him seven months. He was expected to create E.T. in around five weeks. Warshaw accepted the challenge anyway and production began. Spielberg wanted Warshaw to create a simple maze game similar to Pac-man, but V had a bigger vision. He wanted players to explore different environments in 3D world. Usually companies like Atari have people test games before releasing them, but they decided to skip testing due to time limitations.
The game was a hot holiday item at first. Unfortunately, Atari overestimated how many they would sell. They made 5 million copies and they only sold 1.5 million. Most people who played the game hated it. The graphics（画面）were bad. Game play was awkward. Players got stuck in holes that they couldn’t escape. Some people who stuck with the game grew to like it, but it wasn’t the mainstream success that Atari had hoped it would be.
Too many copies of the game sat on store shelves. One employee remembers the game being discounted five times, from $49.95 to less than a dollar. A newspaper in New Mexico reported that between 10 and 20 semitrailer truckloads of Atari products were crushed and buried at landfill in Alamogordo. Atari lost over $100 million on E.T.. The game was so bad that it was said to have affected Atari’s reputation. The video game industry soon fell into a deep depression, with a profit $3.2 billion in 1983 to just over $100 million in 1985, almost a 97% drop. E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial will long be remembered as one of the worst games ever made, if not one of the causes of the decline of entire video game industry.
【1】What can we learn about Howard Warshaw from the passage?
A. He was ambitious. B. He was cautious.
C. He was unreliable. D. He was inexperienced.
【2】Why did E.T. end up one worst video game ever?

B. It was set in a 3D environment.
C. It was released at a wrong time.

【3】According to the passage, the failure of the game E.T. may have____
A. destroyed the reputation of the film E.T.
B. given chances to other companies to rise
C. led to the fall of the video game industry
D. made people lose interest in 3D environment
【4】In the passage the author describes Atari’s failure________
A. in a disapproving way
B. with a supportive attitude
C. with a feeling of pity for the company
D. without expressing his/her own opinions
22、Dear Dad,
Today I spent a lot of time choosing carefully and reading the Father's Day cards at the shopping mall. They all had a special message that in some way or another reflected how I feel about you. Yet it hit me that not a single card said what I really want to say to you.
You'll soon be 84 years old, Dad, and you and I will have had 55 Father's Days together. I haven't always been with you on Father's Day but I've always been with you in my heart. You know, Dad, there was a time when we were separated by the generation gap（代沟）. You stood on one side of the Great Divide and I on the other.
The Father-Daughter Conflict（冲突） changed into high gear ( 档位) when you taught me to drive the old Dodge and I decided I would drive the 54 Chevy whether you liked it or not. To my surprise, when the police officer who sent me home after you reported the Chevy stolen, you were so tolerant（宽容的） about it because I had thought that would probably be the worst night of my life.
Our relationship greatly improved when I married a man you liked, and things really turned around when we began making babies right and left. Somewhere along the line, the generation gap disappeared. I suppose I saw us and our relationship as aging together, rather like a fine wine.
But the strangest thing happened last week. I was at a stop sign and I watched as you turned the corner in your car. It didn't immediately occur to me that it was you because the man driving looked so elderly and fragile behind the wheel of that huge car. It was rather like a slap in the face delivered from out of nowhere. Perhaps I saw your age for the first time that day.
I guess what I'm trying to say, Dad, is what every son and daughter wants to say to their Dad today. Honoring a father on Father's Day is about respect and sharing and acceptance and tolerance and giving and taking. It's about loving someone more than words can say, and it's wishing that never had to end.
I love you, Dad.
Love,
Mary

23、Engineers at Deakin University have developed a new smart generation schoolbag that will end the days when students end up forgetting their homework, particularly since the smart schoolbag is capable of completing its own morning checklist.
According to a recent press release, the smart schoolbag comes with built-in hardware and software that works to ensure it is packed correctly for each day’s timetable, including lunch and sports equipment.
The bag was designed by Dr Hamid Abdi alongside Masters students at Deakin University. It uses Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags (标签) to detect items in the bag and Internet of Things (IOT) technology, which extends Internet connectivity to everyday objects. “RFID technology allows any user to detect items in the bag in a contactless way,” Dr Abdi says. The Internet of Things (IOT) technology is employed to check its contents against the daily school plan. Schools or parents can enter data about the activities of each day to the system’s IOT server. The server then links these activities to the RFID tags placed on the items needed. The smart school-bag can tell what items are not required, ensuring that the bag is no heavier than it needs to be.
The smart schoolbag will save a lot of time and stress that occurs when homework, hats or lunches are left home by mistake, especially if that requires parents to quickly race home to collect the missing item.
While the system can be fitted to any schoolbag, the team have designed a sample of the smart schoolbag that includes the smartphone application. Dr Abdi and his team are looking for commercial partners to take the project to the next level.
【1】Why do the engineers develop the smart schoolbag?
A．To give a morning call.
B．To help homework correcting.
C．To reduce study pressure.
D．To remind pupils of school items.
【2】What does Paragraph 3 mainly tell us about the smart schoolbag?
A．Its application.
B．Its working principle.
C．Its advantage.
D．Its characteristics.
【3】What does Dr Abdi expect of the smart schoolbag?
A．I’ll replace parental duties.
B．I’ll ensure academic progress.
C．I’ll reach consumers soon.
D．I’ll be environment-friendly.
【4】Which of the following would be the best title for the text?
A．A Smart Schoolbag Saves Time and Stress
B．A Smart Schoolbag Will Replace an Ordinary Bag
C．The Latest System of Detecting Missing Items
D．The First Generation of a Smart Schoolbag
24、C
Napoleon, as a character in Tolstoy’s War and Peace, is more than once described as having “fat little hands．”Nor does he “sit well or firmly on the horse．”He is said to be “undersized,” with “short legs” and a “round stomach”．The issue here is not the accuracy of Tolstoy’s description—it seems not that far off from historical accounts—but his choice of facts：other things that could be said of the man are not said．We are meant to understand the difference of a warring commander in the body of a fat little Frenchman．Tolstoy’s Napoleon could be any man wandering in the streets and putting a little of powdered tobacco up his nose—and that is the point．
It is a way the novelist uses to show the moral nature of a character．And it turns out that, as Tolstoy has it, Napoleon is a crazy man．In a scene in Book Three of War and Peace, the wars having reached the critical year of 1812,Napoleon receives a representative from the Tsar(沙皇),who has come with peace terms．Napoleon is very angry：doesn’t he have more army? He, not the Tsar, is the one to make the terms．He will destroy all of Europe if his army is stopped．“That is what you will have gained by engaging me in the war!” he shouts．And then, Tolstoy writes, Napoleon “walked silently several times up and down the room, his fat shoulders moving quickly．”
Still later, after reviewing his army amid cheering crowds, Napoleon invites the shaken Russian to dinner．“He raised his hand to the Russian’s．．．face,” Tolstoy writes, and “taking him by the ear pulled it gently．．．” To have one’s ear pulled by the Emperor was considered the greatest honor and mark of favor at the French court．“Well, well, why don’t you say anything?” said he, as if it was ridiculous in his presence to respect any one but himself, Napoleon．
Tolstoy did his research, but the composition is his own．
【1】Tolstoy’s description of Napoleon in War and Peace is ___________．
A．far from the historical facts
B．based on the Russian history
C．based on his selection of facts
D．not related to historical details
【2】Napoleon was angry when receiving the Russian representative because ________．
A．he thought he should be the one to make the peace terms
B．the Tsar’s peace terms were hard to accept
C．the Russians stopped his military movement
D．he didn’t have any more army to fight with
【3】Tolstoy intended to present Napoleon as a man who is __________________．
A．ill-mannered in dealing with foreign guests
B．fond of showing off his iron will
C．determined in destroying all of Europe
D．crazy for power and respect
【4】What does the last sentence of the passage imply?
A．A writer doesn’t have to be faithful to his findings．
B．A writer may write about a hero in his own way．
C．A writer may not be responsible for what he writes．
D．A writer has hardly any freedom to show his feelings．
