26、 Anyone who has had a long-term illness knows that recovering at home can be boring. This can be especially true of children. They may feel cut off from their friends and classmates. Now, these children may have a high-tech friend to help feel less lonely. That friend is a robot.
The robot is called Avatarl (AV1). It takes their place at school. Through the robot, the children can hear their teachers and friends. They also can take part in classes from wherever they are recovering. And the children's school friends must help. They carry the robot between classes and place the robot on their desks.
A Norwegian company called No Isolation created the robot. There are another two co-founders: Karen Dolva and Marius Aabel.
Dolva explains how the robot works. She says from home the child uses an iPad or a phone to start the robot, control the robot’s movements with touch, and talk through it. The child can take part in classroom activities. The robot is equipped with speakers, microphones and cameras that make communicating easy. So it’s the eyes and the ears and the voice of the child at school. Inside AVI is a small computer connected to a 4G network. A small camera connected to a small computer could do the job. But that would not be the same.
AV1 was designed to be tough. It won't allow water to pass through it and can take a fall from a desk without damage. AV1 is large and looks like a human for a reason. Dolva says it can't be just a tiny camera because the other kids can't pick it up and take it with them. This is important because the robot is supposed to be a friend to the children.
Hopefully AV1 will help some children feel less lonely while they are absent from class.
【1】What is the passage mainly about?
A.The robot has been used widely in many fields.
B.The robot can make friends with sick children.
C.The robot will take sick children to take part in classes.
D.The robot may help sick children feel less lonely.
【2】According to the passage, AV 1 may be started through ________.
A.an iPad B.a camera C.a computer D.a speaker
【3】What does the underlined word “tough” in Paragraph 5 mean?
A.Strong. B.Amazing. C.Attractive. D.Fancy.
【4】Where does this passage probably come from?
A.A tourist guide. B.An exhibition guide.
C.A science textbook. D.A science report.
27、 I must have been about fourteen then, and I put away the incident from my mind with the easy carelessness of youth. But the words, Carl Walter spoke that day, came back to me years later, and ever since have been of great value to me.
Carl Walter was my piano teacher. During one of my lessons he asked how much practicing I was doing. I said three or four hours a day.
"Do you practice in long stretches, an hour at a time?"
"I try to."
"Well, don't," he exclaimed. "When you grow up, time won't come in long stretches. Practice in minutes, whenever you can find them five or ten before school, after lunch, between household tasks. Spread the practice through the day, and piano-playing will become a part of your life."
When I was teaching at Columbia, I wanted to write, but class periods, theme-reading, and committee meetings filled my days and evenings. For two years I got practically nothing down on paper, and my excuse was that I had no time. Then I remembered what Carl Walter had said. During the next week I conducted an experiment. Whenever I had five minutes unoccupied, I sat down and wrote a hundred words or so. To my astonishment, at the end of the week I had a rather large manuscript ready for revision, later on I wrote novels by the same piecemeal method. Though my teaching schedule had become heavier than ever, in every day there were idle moments which could be caught and put to use. I even took up piano--playing again, finding that the small intervals of the day provided sufficient time for both writing and piano practice.
There is an important trick in this time-using formula: you must get into your work quickly. If you have but five minutes for writing, you can't afford to waste four chewing your pencil. You must make your mental preparations beforehand, and concentrate on your task almost instantly when the time comes. Fortunately, rapid concentration is easier than most of us realize.
I admit I have never learnt how to let go easily at the end of the five or ten minutes. But life can be counted on to supply interruptions. Carl Walter has had a tremendous influence on my life. To him I owe the discovery that even very short periods of time add up to all useful hours I need, if I plunge in without delay.
【1】What is the best title of this passage?
A．Concentrate on Your Work.
B．Good Advice.
C．How I Became a Writer.
D．A Little at a Time.
【2】Which of the following statements is true?
A．The writer owes great thanks to his teacher for teaching him to work in long stretches.
B．The writer didn't take the teacher's words to heart at first.
C．Carl Walter has had a great influence on the writer's life since he became a student.
D．Rapid concentration is actually more difficult than most people imagine.
【3】The underlined part "counted on" can be replaced by _________.
A．expected
B．concentrated
C．valued
D．enriched
【4】We can infer that the writer _________.
A．can find sufficient time for mental preparations beforehand, so he's devoted to work instantly.
B．is always tired of interruptions in life because his teaching schedule is always heavy.
C．has new books published each year however busy his teaching is.
D．has new books published each year howeyer busy his techinis.
28、 Edgar Snow was the American journalist who, risking his life, made it to the northern part of Shaanxi Province to interview Mao Zedong.
As a young boy, Snow, who might have been influenced by Mark Twain’s works, was very interested in travel and adventure. After reading The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, and Life on the Mississippi, 17-year-old Snow then drove a T-type tourist car with several of his young playmates, heading for California, 3,000 kilometers away from his home state, Missouri.
Three months later, when he had spent all his five dollars, he had to climb onto slow-going trains. With the rumbling (隆隆作响) of the train, he enjoyed more than half of America’s splendid views. On February 15, 1928, Snow decided to board Thunder, a ship leaving for the Far East, without informing his family, setting out to realize his dream of touring the world.
In 1958 or 30 years later, Snow explained his thought more clearly in his book Become a Journey: “I was 22 that year and made some money then, which was enough for me to be on a one-year adventurous tour of the world if I was to be thrifty (节约的).”
Clearly this young man’s Far East travel was without any great dream at first. It was only his travel experiences, especially his visit to the northern part of Shaanxi Province years ago that determined his lifetime cause, thus closely connecting his life with China.
【1】Why did Snow leave Missouri for California?
A.To write his stories. B.To meet Mark Twain.
C.To go on his adventure. D.To test a special car.
【2】What did Snow mean by his words in his book?
A.He was too young to make money.
B.He would save money to be a journalist.
C.Touring the world cost a lot of time.
D.Touring was affordable if carefully planned.
【3】What is the best title for the text?
A.Snow and his travel B.Snow’s life in China
C.Snow and his family D.Snow’s book on adventure
29、 This year I’m buying presents for 16 children, as well as my own daughter, Mia-Grace, who will be two on Christmas Day. My tree will be beautifully decorated, I’m bringing the turkey to the family Christmas lunch and having an open house activity on Boxing Day. And the whole thing’s only going to cost me £150.
I’ve been careful with money since I was a teenager, for I came from a poor family with many children. I had to drop out of high school to earn money to support myself. I remember well that I went a bit mad back then when I got my first credit card and my parents had to leave me from home and cared little for me from then, which taught me a real lesson.
We’re very careful now and we don’t overspend or owe anything on credit cards. I work for an electrician and my husband Neil, 33, works in the construction business. We’re concerned about our jobs because our companies are quiet at the moment.
We’ve also been hit by rising prices, particularly food, petrol, gas and electricity. Everyone I know is worried. One of my friends’ husbands has just gone self-employed and if he doesn’t work, they have no money coming in.
Christmas has been playing on my mind for the past three or four months. We decided on a budget of £150 because that’s just under my weekly wage and it meant we could afford Christmas while using Neil’s salary for our essential bills.
We quickly realized that we buy some things every year just for the sake of it. Even though we have lots of decorations already, we usually buy something new for the tree but this Christmas we’re not going to. We’ve already got our tree – a big man-made one which I bought half-price in the January sales. It will last us for years.
After all, no one can escape from this financial crisis which is spreading throughout the globe.

A. why the author has been very careful with money
B. how she finished her education of high school
C. where she earned her first money in her teens
