26、Having taken a room at the hotel at which he had been instructed to stay, Smallwood went out; it was a lovely day, early in August, and the sun shone in an unclouded sky. He had not been to Lucerne since he was a boy, but remembered a covered bridge, though not clearly, a great stone lion and a church in which he had sat, bored yet impressed while they played an organ (风琴); and now wandering along a shady quay (码头) he tried not so much to find his way about a half-forgotten scene as to reform in his mind some recollection of the shy and eager boy, so impatient for life, who so long ago had wandered there. But it seemed to him that the most lively of his memories was not of himself, but of the crowd; he seemed to remember the sun and the heat and the people; the train was crowded and so was the hotel, the lake steamers were packed and on the quays and in the streets you found your way among the holiday-makers. They were fat and old and ugly and strange.
Now, in wartime, Lucerne was as deserted as it must have been before the world discovered that Switzerland was the play-ground of Europe. Most of the hotels were closed, the streets were empty, the boats for hire rocked (摇晃) lazily at the water’s edge and there was none to take them, and in the avenue by the lake the only persons to be seen were serious Swiss taking their dogs for their daily walk. Smallwood felt happy and, sitting down on a bench that faced the water, surrendered (听任) himself to the feelings. The blue water, snowy mountains, and their beauty hit you in the face. So long, at all event, as the fine weather lasted he was prepared to enjoy himself. He didn’t see why he should not at least try to combine pleasure to himself with advantage to his country.
【1】We can infer that Smallwood went to Lucerne _________.
A. to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the area
B. to do something as told
C. to visit his friend there
D. to get in touch with the shy and eager boy
【2】He felt that the city _________.
A. was more crowded than it used to be
B. had changed out of all recognition
C. had been ruined by becoming an attraction
D. was quieter than he remembered it
【3】He was prepared to enjoy himself as long as _________.
A. he was serving his country
B. he was making a profit
C. the pleasant weather continued like this
D. he could stay in Lucerne
【4】After reading the passage, we can draw a conclusion that _________.
A. Smallwood’s former visit to Lucerne was made in peacetime
B. Smallwood was pleased by the sound this time
C. Smallwood was very nervous when he got to Lucerne
D. A war would soon break out in Lucerne
27、 A small robot may help children who are recovering from long-term illnesses in the hospital or at home. These children may feel isolated from their friends and classmates. The robot takes their place at school. Through the robot, the children can hear their teachers and friends. They also can take part in class from wherever they are recovering.
Anyone who has a long-term illness knows that recovering at home can be lonely. This can be especially true for children. They may feel left out. Now, these children may have a high-tech friend to help feel less lonely. That friend is a robot. The robot is called AV1. AV1 goes to school for a child who is homebound while recovering from a long-term illness. And the child’s school friends must help. They carry the robot between classes and place the robot on the child’s desk.
A Norwegian company called No Isolation created the robot. The co-founders of No Isolation are Karen Dolva and Marius Aabel. Dolva explains how the robot AV1 works. She says, from home, the child uses an iPad or a phone to start the robot. Then they use the same device to control the robot’s movements. At school, the robot becomes the eyes, ears and voice of the child.
‘So, it sits at the child’s desk in the classroom and the child uses an iPad or a phone to start it, control its movement with touch, and talk through it.’
The student can take part in classroom activities from wherever they are recovering — whether at home or from a hospital bed. The robot is equipped with speakers, microphones and cameras that make communication easy.
【1】What’s the meaning of the underlined word ‘isolated’?
A. Kept apart. B. Difficult to learn.
C. Unhappy or stressful. D. Full of hope.
【2】What are children unable to do through the robot?
A. Taking part in the class. B. Talking with his friends.
C. Writing on the blackboard. D. Hearing their teachers.
【3】How do children control the robot’s movements?
A. By talking with the robot.
B. By taking part in class activities.
C. By using the microphones equipped in it.
D. By touching an iPad or a phone.
【4】What’s the robot mainly designed for?
A. Children who have just recovered from illnesses.
B. Children who can’t go to school for a long time.
C. Children who are bored with going to school.
D. Children who can’t see, hear or speak.
28、When Liberia was my home, they called it sweet. Sweet was the word I remembered the most during the war. When I was five, my father, two sisters and I fled from Monrovia, the capital city of Liberia, and headed north on foot among panicked masses of criers - a journey that ended in a village where we hid from flying bullets (子弹). Every dawn, my sisters and I joined my father and covered the pages of his small journal with words. My favorite word to write was “sweet,” one that had the power to numb the reality of our 6-month abandonment by peace and civilization.
Eventually, we were considered the lucky ones: part of the wave of refugees who left Liberia in 1990 to settle in America. My mother studied at Columbia University at the time, and we made our new home in her dormitory while awaiting her graduation. My father who left early in the mornings looked for work or news of a possible return to Liberia, only to return home with nothing to give us but new words to write in notebooks. He quickly found that the education he received in Liberia was not good enough for an engineering job in the United States. So he took whatever job he could find to make sure we always had food on the table - and books.
In 2011, I founded a children’s book publishing company: One Moore Book. It provides children’s literature for the children of countries with low literacy (识字) rates and underrepresented cultures by publishing culturally relevant books that have something meaningful to say to them. My hope is to give children the peace I was given through the words of my father, by allowing them to see themselves in literature. I also think it is important to provide books about foreign countries to children in the United States, to increase the overall awareness of the world outside them.
I will never be able to give my father back the twenty years he spent working to educate us, or the home and life in Liberia he lost. I repay his sacrifice (牺牲) by honoring the education he fought for and offering my art to the world, with stories that make the histories of my people come alive, and with words to live by.
【1】What was the author’s family’s life like in Liberia?
A．Sweet and peaceful.
B．Frightening but positive.
C．Comfortable but boring.
D．Adventurous and exciting.
【2】What can we infer from Paragraph 2 about the author’s father?
A．He was crazy about reading.
B．He regretted moving to America.
C．He worked hard to raise his family.
D．He tried to receive a higher education.
【3】Why did the author found One Moore Book?
A．To meet poor children’s growing demands.
B．To provide multicultural books for children.
C．To support her father’s books about Liberia.
D．To help immigrants understand American culture.
【4】What does the author want to express in the last paragraph?
A．Her pity for her father’s suffering.
B．Her thanks to her father’s devotion.
C．Her pride in working for her people.
D．Her disappointment over the life in Liberia.
29、Workers, and possibly all people, can be divided into two groups. Those who like to be involved in everything and can be labeled “FOMOs” because they suffer from a “fear of missing out”. Then there are those who would simply want to be left to get on with their own particular work, without distraction—the “JOMOs” (joy of missing out).
If the boss announces a new project, do you immediately volunteer, thinking this will be a great chance to prove your skills? If so, you are a FOMO. Or do you foresee the trouble involved, the likely failure of the project, and the weekend emails from all the FOMOs wanting to spend less time with their families? Then you are a certified JOMO. Another test is technology. FOMOs are early users, picking up the latest devices and sending documents to colleagues through the latest file-sharing programme. JOMOs tend to believe that any technology upgrade will be troublesome in the beginning and wonder why on earth their colleagues can’t send the document everyone has been familiar with.
Networking events are the kind of thing that gets FOMOs excited as a chance to exchange ideas and make contacts. When JOMOs hear the word “networking”, they reach for their noise-cancelling earphones. For them, being made to attend an industry cocktail party is rather like being forced to attend the wedding of someone they hardly know—a social suffering. Similarly, when it comes to business travel, FOMOs can’t wait to experience the delight of overseas conferences and visiting new places. It will all look good on their CV. JOMOs know that such travel involves lots of discomforts like crowded airline seats. The final destination turns out to be nothing more than a common conference centre or hotel that they forget five minutes after they have left. While they recognize that they have to attend some meetings and go on trips to get their work done, JOMOs regard such things as a self-punishment instead of a privilege. Something useful may come out of it, but best not to get their hopes up.
It might seem obvious that employers should look to hire FOMOs, not their opposites. After all, in a company full of JOMOs, sales might suffer and there would be little innovation. But while FOMOs are racing from meeting to networking events, employers need a few JOMOs to be doing actual work. The other reason why depending on FOMOs is dangerous is that they are naturally restless. JOMOs will be loyal, for fear of ending up with a worse employer. But FOMOs may think that working for one company means they are missing out on better conditions at another. That is the point of most networking, after all.
【1】Which of the following best describe FOMOs?
A．Excited about the networking events.
B．Finding it annoyed to use latest devices.
C．Hesitating to get involved in a new project.
D．Showing no interest in building up social relationship.
【2】When it comes to business travel, what do JOMOs tend to do?
A．Enjoy the conferences and the overseas trip
B．Believe it will enrich their working experience
C．Finish their work without too much expectations
D．Complain about something uncomfortable during the trip.
【3】According to the author, why is it dangerous to depend on FOMOs?
A．They don’t do any actual work at all.
B．They usually end up with a worse employer.
C．They don’t improve sales and have little innovation.
D．They may leave for better job chances in other company.
【4】What is author’s attitude towards JOMOs?
A．Indifferent
B．Positive
C．Doubtful
D．Critical
