27、My grandmother grew up in a world different from me. She experienced many things in her long life.
Though she never told stories, her stories were in the way she ate — she savored (品味) her food, cherished (珍惜) it. Often she would be the first to sit at the dinner table, and the last to leave. Food had been really scarce (缺乏) when she grew up.
Her stories were in the way she handed me lucky money. From a young age, my grandmother was brought up to understand the importance of hard work and the necessary of saving. Every Chinese New Year, I would be handed, or sent, a small red envelope that contained money, but never more than twenty dollars. When I was young , I didn’t understand why my grandmother gave me such a small amount of money. As I grew older, I realized that she wasn’t teaching me about money, but about tradition and hard work and family. The money was insignificant. I would probably spend it on any toy that I would lose soon after; it was the meaning behind her gift that mattered. It was her saying, “ I love you; I am your family and I want you to work hard as your family has before you.”
My grandmother’s stories were lessons. But they were never told in words. From the time that I was very young, up until she could barely remember my name, I remember her calling me “good girl”. Those two little words, in the course of my growing up, were a constant reminder that I was still so young, with still so far to go.
Now my grandmother is gone, but I see her every day. I see her in the women around me and in the mirror. She lives with me, inside me, and in the legacies(遗产)that I will create. And I know she would be proud.
【1】The Author’s grandmother spent so much time eating at the table because ________.

A．Her grandmother didn’t have much money.
B．Her grandmother preferred boys to girls.
C．It was a shame to accept others’ money.
D．It was important for her to work hard.
【3】What did the author realize hearing her grandmother call her “good girl” ?
A．She was really a good girl.
B．She needed to continually improve herself.
C．She should be proud of her manners and behaviors.
D．She was always a good girl in her grandmother’s eyes.
【4】What can we know about the author’s grandmother after reading the passage?

28、We use what is known as inner speech, where we talk to ourselves, to evaluate situations and make decisions. Now, a robot has been trained to speak aloud its inner decision-making process, giving us a view of how it responds to contradictory demands.
Arianna Pipitone and Antonio Chella at the University of Palermo, Italy, programmed a humanoid robot named Pepper, with software that models human cognitive processes, which allowed Pepper to search for. relevant information from its memory and find the correct way to act based on human commands, as well as a text-to speech processor. It allowed Pepper to voice its decision-making process while completing a task, “With inner speech, we can better understand what the robot wants to do and what its plan is,” says Chella.
The researchers asked Pepper to set a dinner table according to etiquette(礼仪) rules they had programmed into the robot. Inner speech was either enabled or disabled to see how it affected Pepper’s ability to do what was instructed.
When instructed to place a napkin on a fork with its inner speech coabled, Pepper asked itself what the etiquette required and concluded that this request went against the rules it had been given. It then asked the researchers if putting the napkin on the fork was the correet action. When told it was, Pepper said “OK, I prefer to follow your desire,” and explained how it was going to place the napkin on the fork.
When asked to do the same task with inner speech disabled, Pepper knew this contradicted etiquette rules, so it didn’t perform the task or explain why.
With the potential for robots to become more common in the future, this type of programming could help the public understand their abilities and limitations, says Sarah Sebo at the University of Chicago. “It maintains people's trust and enables cooperation and interactions between humans and robots,” she says.
However, this experiment only used a single human participant, says Sebo. “It’s unclear how their approach would compare across a wide range of human participants,” she says.
【1】Why does the author mention how people make decisions in the first paragraph?
A．To introduce the topic.
B．To provide background information.
C．To give an example.
D．To arouse readers’ interest.
【2】How did Pepper react to the contradictory instruction with its inner speech enabled?
A．It failed to complete the task.
B．It obeyed the etiquette rules.
C．It made a random decision.
D．It communicated with the researchers.
【3】What did Sarah Sebo think of the research?
A．It was creative but worthless in daily life.
B．It was a meaningful try but the result was a failure.
C．It was inspiring but needed further evidence.
D．It was perfectly designed but poorly performed.
【4】Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A．Robot Taught To Be Polite To Humans as Programmed
B．Robot Able To Explain Its Decision-making Process
C．Robot Making Decisions Faces Great Challenges
D．Robot-Human Communication: Soon to Be Realized
29、When we first gave our daughters (then 13 and 15 years old) cell phones for emergencies, we made them sign an agreement in which we strictly ruled where and when they could use their phones and even we could check their every text message. However, in less than a year, we lost control of the situation.
There is a terrible reality that almost every teenager sends between 50 to 100 messages a day - some as many as 300, and 70% of teenagers admit hiding their online behavior from parents. According to a study, teenagers need as much sleep or more than they get as children - that's between 9 and 10 hours of sleep a night, but only 20% of them are getting it. When they don't get enough sleep, they perform poorly in school, feel very hungry, are more likely to have flu and are very emotional.
Recently, we adopted a "check in at tuck in" (盖被子时交手机) rule at our house, an idea I learnt from a parenting expert. It is very simple. At bedtime, when we "tuck in" our children for the night, they must "check in" their phones. They will probably bargain like this:
"But I use it for my alarm clock."
"I'll wake you up."
"My friends might need me."
"If there is an emergency, they can call the fixed phone and I'll wake you up."
A few weeks ago, when I drove my younger daughter to a friend's house for a sleepover, she handed me her phone. "I guess I should check this in now, since you won't be there to tuck me in tonight. I'll call you from Ellie's phone if I need you."
【1】The first paragraph that the writer writes is to________.
A．show the writer's family life
B．lead to the topic of the passage
C．advise to buy cell phones for children
D．introduce the writer's two daughters
【2】The cell phones were bought for children in hope of________.
A．controlling their online behavior
B．working hard through the Internet
C．replacing alarm clocks with cell phones
D．keeping in touch if something urgent happened
【3】Which of the following is NOT caused by sleeping less?
A．Performing well in school.
B．Feeling very hungry.
C．Being easy to have flu.
D．Being very emotional.
【4】What is mainly talked about in the passage?
A．How to Take Control of Children
B．How to Help Children Sleep Well at Night
C．How to Get Children off Cell Phones at Night
D．How to Assist Children with Cell Phones

Festivals are becoming more and more commercial, with business 【8】 advantage of the celebrations.

32、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
“Hurry up you guys, or you will be late for school!” called Mom. We went downstairs and had a quick breakfast. I was eating my favorite — very sweet porridge, and Sara was. having eggs. When I rose to have my bowl washed, Mom whispered, “You know you need to be cautious today when you’re walking Sara to school. It’s your job to assure (保证) me she gets there all right.” Then she cast me. a very serious look. I thought to myself, wondering why Mom was making such a big deal out of this. It was Sara’s first day of Kindergarten, but I could manage it. I wish Mom would treat me like an adult.
Then Sara ran out of the house, and I went behind her, skipping down the front walkway to the sidewalk. Along the way, I could feel Mom’s gaze on us.
I grabbed Sara’s hand. “Are you eager and excited for your first day of school?” I asked, trying to sound like a grown-up. Sara smiled and nodded her head yes. Meanwhile, my mom was staring at us through the window. “When will she treat me like an adult?” I thought. “I will show you the way.” I said. I felt proud to be the elder sister. We walked past beautiful gardens and big, leafy trees. Suddenly, I heard a growl (低吼) and saw a dog walking towards us. He was big and fierce looking with long sharp teeth. “GRRRR!!!” the dog barked. I didn’t see its owner or anyone who could help us. My hand became sweaty and Sara stopped walking. “I’m scared, Julie,” she said. I didn’t want her to be scared. I wanted to appear brave. “Everything will be okay,” I said.
“GRRRR!!!” The dog stepped closer and we could see it was the size of a small horse — with red eyes and sharp teeth.
