24、There are robots all around us. Some do difficult jobs like flying airplanes and driving subway trains. Some just do one simple job, like washing clothes. They do these by “feedback” (反馈).
We human beings receive feedback through our eyes, ears and other senses (感官), which tell us what is going on around. Robots are kind of like human beings in two ways: they work and they have feedback. Information about what is happening is “fed back” into the robot to tell it what to do next.
There are robots taking care of the temperature of our houses, cookers, and hot water systems. We set the controls to the temperature we want and leave the rest to the robot. Its feedback usually comes from a thermostat (温控器). One kind of thermostat is a metal strip (金属条板), which bends (弯曲) when it gets hot. At the right temperature, it bends just enough to turn off the heat. As the air around it cools, the strip becomes straight, which turns the heat on again.
Some robots are created to work in factories. They are taught to do different jobs. First, their “brains” are shown how the job needs to be done. A person moves the “arms” and “hands” of the robot through each part of the job as the robot’s brain records each move. After that, the robot is set to work on its own. If something gets in the way, the robot will stop until a human engineer comes to solve the problem. When it is needed for a new job, its memory is deleted. Then it will be taught how to do the new work.
The most clever robots can move and see. Their eyes are cameras. Their fingers can feel shapes and even find out how hot and cold objects are. These robots have computer brains, connected to their eyes and fingers, which control their actions.
There are robots all around, making our lives easier. In some ways, they are better than human beings. They work quickly, hardly making any mistakes. They do the same jobs over and over again, never getting bored or tired.
【1】According to the passage, which of the statements is NOT true?
A.Robots mainly work by receiving feedback.
B.Not only can robots do easy jobs, but they can do hard ones.
C.Some robots can set the temperature right through a thermostat.
D.Robots working in factories are controlled by the metal strip.
【2】In this passage, the writer tells us that ________.
A.robots should be greatly improved
B.robots are very helpful and useful to humans
C.robots will probably take over in the future
D.we see robots only at certain times
【3】We can infer from paragraph 4 that ________.
A.the robots are not able to think on their own
B.the robots are controlled by engineers all the time
C.when the robots are given a new job, their memory will be cleaned off
D.most robots can do several jobs at a time

(①=Para. 1 ②=Para. 2 ③=Para. 3 ④=Para. 4 ⑤=Para. 5 ⑥=Para. 6)

25、 Dawn Loggins of Lawndale, N.C., is on her way to Harvard, one of the eight world-famous universities in the eastern US. Nobody encouraged her to study or paid for her special classes. This girl created her own future.
The teen was abandoned by her family last summer, when her parents and two sisters moved to Tennessee.
She found herself homeless and had to spend the night on friends' sofas.
The school bus driver learned about Dawn's situation and invited Dawn to move in with her family. Soon, Dawn had a job at Burns High School. She worked from 6 a.m. to 7:40 a.m. before the first school bell rang. She swept floors and picked up trash again in the afternoons, before diving into her studies in the evenings.
Dawn's hard work paid off (取得成功). She finished school with a 3.9 GPA and scored 2,110 on the SAT. "There were times when I felt like it would be easiest if I gave up," the 18-year-old said. "But it was never in me to give up, because I realized that I was never going to be successful unless I got an education."
Even before Dawn's family left her, she led a difficult life. Her family was poor and cups of noodles were often the only food. Dawn "studied by candlelight" because her parents couldn't afford to pay the electricity bill (电费).
Dawn has now reconnected with her family. They're proud of her accomplishments (成就) and are attending her high school graduation.

26、The Vieira family moved to the United States in 1981.At that time, they decided to stop speaking Spanish at home and only communicate in English. This was because they were now living in an English-speaking country.
Now the Vieira children are adults, and they sometimes travel to Spain to visit their family and friends. But they can't communicate with them. Unfortunately this is common. When people move to new countries, they often leave their own customs and mother language behind. This is a mistake because there are many benefits to knowing more than one language.
One advantage of speaking more than one language is that you can communicate with more people around the world. You don't have to depend on others to talk for you, so you are more independent. People who know only one language must use others to help them communicate.
Furthermore, speaking the second language also allows people to experience other cultures and customs more effectively .Local expressions, vocabulary, and even jokes can have a powerful effect on a person's understanding of other culture. So knowing more than one language increases your knowledge of other cultures.
Finally, having more multilanguage speakers improves relationships between countries. If people from different countries can communicate well, the world can become closer. Countries will then have more respect for each other and better understand each other's problems.
The benefits of knowing more than one language are clear. In fact, there are no disadvantages. It is very sad that many people don't try to learn another language. It's even worse when people let themselves forget their mother language and become silenced.
【1】The passage begins with the experience of Vieira family in order to ________.
A. discuss the need of teaching a new language
B. introduce the passage's main characters to the readers
C. describe the advantages of moving to another country
D. show the problem of speaking only one language
【2】The underlined phrase “multilanguage speakers” (paragraph 5) means “people who know ________.”
A. their mother language B. a new language
C. more than one language D. baby language
【3】According to the passage, if you can speak more than one language, you can ________
A. find a better job B. make more friends
C. better understand history D. communicate more independently
【4】Based on the last paragraph, which of the following is the worst?
A. Not knowing another language. B. Forgetting one's language.
C. Refusing to learn another language. D. Failing to communicate with others.
27、 As a boy I was always small for my age. I was also five years younger than one of my brothers and seven years younger than the other. As a result, I often felt left out when their friends came over to play. I was either too small or too young for whatever they were doing and they didn't want their younger brother listening to their conversations either. More often than not I found myself outside playing alone and feeling forgotten.
I remember one spring afternoon feeling especially lonely as I sat in the yard behind our house. We lived miles from town and I hardly saw my own friends outside of school. I heard my brothers laughing from inside the house and felt a single tear coming down my cheek. At that moment I saw a large brown dog walking over to me. He looked happy and his tail was wagging as well. Even though (尽管) he didn't know me he greeted me like a long lost friend, licking (舔) my chin and sitting beside me on the spring grass. It must have been at least an hour that I patted and talked to this four-legged angel (天使). He let me pour out all my troubles and shared my deepest thoughts before he kissed my cheek goodbye and ambled off either to Heaven or his home. I went back inside feeling happy, knowing that no matter what life may hold I was loved. Now over 40 years later I still remember that angel with a smile.
I believe that God sent him at that moment of sadness to remind me just how much he loved me. There is nothing more important than knowing we are loved. When we are loved, we will learn to love others. Learning to love helps us to understand ourselves and other people better.
【1】The underlined phrase "left out" most probably means "________" in Chinese.
A.被处理的 B.被厌恶的 C.被冷落的 D.被鄙视的
【2】The writer shared his troubles and thoughts with the dog because ________.
A.it was his friend B.it could understand him
C.it looked like an angel D.it was friendly to him
【3】The writer wrote the story to ________.
A.encourage people to talk about their troubles
B.show that knowing you are loved is the most Important
C.tell people they should treat animals friendly
D.share his unforgettable experience with us

Facts you don’t know about animals
People have already known a lot about animals. However, there are still some things about animals that may surprise you. Here are some facts about animals you probably didn’t know.
Cows
Cows do have best friends and feel stressed (焦虑的) when they are separated (分开). Sometimes they even a【1】 humans when they are too nervous and angry.

Penguins
During breeding (繁殖) season, a male penguin will offer a pebble (卵石) to a female penguin as a g【3】. If she takes it, they will become partners. When the female penguin lays an egg, she and her husband may c【4】 it on their feet, because some penguins don’t build nests.
Crocodiles
When crocodiles eat something, they always swallow (吞) their prey. They don’t chew it like other animals. To help with digestion (消化), they swallow stones which grind up the food in their stomachs. But these stones can h【5】 be defecated (排泄掉), so they may stay in their stomachs all their lives.
Elephants
Elephants use plants to get rid of p【6】 or other illness. Scientists once found a pregnant (怀孕的) elephant in Kenya who kept eating a kind of plant for a few days, while this kind of plant was not part of her regular d【7】. Four days later, she could give birth to a baby elephant quietly. The same plant was used by the local women to help with labor (分娩).
Do you find these facts amazing? Maybe you can introduce some of them to your friends and see how surprised they are when they know the facts!
