21、 When my grandmother died at the age of 96, there were two things she left behind in abundance---nearly 100 photo albums documenting decades of travel and home life, and a dozen quilts, one of which my mother gave me.
Quilting is the process of sewing together fabric(作料)to make one large piece of fabric. In my family，quilting and sewing is a tradition that has been passed down through the generations. My mother says her great-grandmother would occasionally travel around New York State to sew clothing for other families.
In the United States，quilting was a craft(手艺)that started as a necessity and eventually became much more. In 1862, the U.S. government offered millions of acres of land to Americans who wanted to move west. This allowed families to settle on land that that could eventually own. They often built their own homes and lived off the vegetables in their gardens and the livestock they had. Sewing was very important for women because they were responsible for clothing their families and keeping them warm.
Quilting also became a chance for women to socialize with each other.They would gather for so-called “quilting bees”，where they would meet up and work on one quilting project together. This provided a much-needed relief from the lonely life of living on a large piece of land.
Throughout history, the different patterns on American quilts have conveyed all kinds of information. From then，we can tell where a person lived，what region of the world they originated from, or sometimes a story is told in pictures on a quilt.
Even today，women still gather to quit together in a show of friendship and a love for the craft，just like the old days.My sister has tried quilting a few times，and hopefully，her two daughters may one day continue this family tradition.

A. It is a lost traditional craft.

A. Introduce a new topic for discussion.

D. Praise the U.S.government's policy.
【3】What does the underlined word“this”in paragraph 4 refer to？

23、 Two musicians from Germany are using robotic equipment to add sounds to their performances. The two-man band performs with a robot that can play several musical instruments at the same time. The robot can sound like a guitar, keyboard, drum or other percussion instrument. When performing, members of the band provide many of the sounds, but others are controlled by a computer. Once connected to wires and set up, instruments can play on their own.
One of the instruments was created from a long, self-turning wooden stick that sits on top of a microphone stand. The stick contains long strings. They are tied on each end. The strings are connected to a small wooden ball. As the stick turns, the ball hits a block on the floor, creating a sound.
The two-man band, called Joasihno, recently performed at the South by Southwest Conference and Music Festival in Austin, Texas. They describe their electronic sound as “psychedelic (迷幻的) machine” music. “Actually, we call it a psychedelic robot orchestra,” said Cico Beck, one of the creators of the group.
The group’s other member, Nico Siereg, says playing in an experimental band with robots is not the same as playing in a traditional one. “It’s a little bit different because you also have in mind that there are machines playing around you, so there’s no reaction from them,” he said. But Siereg said that in some ways, the robots actually help him improve his performance. Since the self-playing instruments are programmed, he sometimes feels freer to center on what he is playing, and at times to even play without preparation.
The musician says he can imagine similar technology having a greater influence on many different kinds of music in the future. “Technology is like a very important tool that even, very often, it’s also a very important part of inspiration,” he said. But he also expressed hope that “real music won’t die.”
In addition to performing recently in Texas, Joashihno has been busy putting on shows in Europe and in Canada. The band hopes its high-tech music “experiment” will keep reaching new people and pleasing the ears of its fans.
【1】According to the first paragraph, the robotic equipment __________.
A.is operated by a wooden stick
B.serves as a whole band
C.fuctions as musical instruments
D.is battery-powered
【2】What does Nico Siereg think of playing music with robots?
A.It is better than playing with human being.
B.It is just a pity that the robots cannot respond to him.
C.It has a negative effect on his performance because robots distract him.
D.It is strange for him to have some machines playing around him.
【3】What can we learn from the passage?
A.Robots will replace musical instruments.
B.This new style of performance has become popular around the world.
C.One member of the band doesn’t think playing with robots is real music.
D.The machines are programmed to create many sounds.
【4】What is the best title for the passage?
A.Real Music Won’t Die
B.Adding New Blood to Traditional Music
C.High Technology Is Applied to Music
D.Robots Will Wipe Out Human Beings
24、Christy and Ted Wilson set aside time every Sunday evening to go over their shared to-do list. Most of the items are tasks like scheduling doctor appointments and organizing play dates for their three young children.
In every relationship, there’s a question of who is pulling their weight around the house. Now that a majority of married-couple families have two working parents, the old “rough day at the office” excuse doesn’t really cut it.
Women still handle more of the household activities, but men increasingly are spending time on food preparation and cleanup. To keep things fair or at least to avoid fights, couples are turning to technology. They are using project management apps designed for the workplace to divide up and track household to-dos and reserving a portion of their date nights to compare chores. In some cases, they are even turning it into a game, setting rewards for getting things done.
The imbalance doesn’t always follow gender lines (性别界线). There was a time when Mr. Wilson was in more of a “Mr. Mom” role: He was attending business school, while Mrs. Wilson was clocking long hours as a lawyer.So Mr. Wilson had more flexibility to take on more of the child-care and household-management work. The couple’s roles changed after Mr. Wilson graduated and started an e-commerce company. “We have had a lot of switching back and forth of who was in the driver’s seat in terms of household management so one person wasn’t too put upon,” she said. They began using calendars to keep the family schedules straight and sharing a to-do list in the Notes app on their phones. Each can take on chores the other dislikes.
【1】What does the underlined part “pulling their weight around the house” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A．Taking on the household chores.
B．Sharing the burden of buying a house.
C．Running around the house to lose weight.
D．Making excuses for not doing any housework.
【2】Why does the couple turn to project management apps?
A．To stop their arguments over dates.
B．To play phone games with each other.
C．To distribute and follow household to-dos.
D．To reward themselves for doing the housework.
【3】What can we infer from the Wilsons’ example?
A．Digital apps can only handle household arguments.
B．Couples need to switch their roles each day.
C．Gender plays a key role in management.
D．Understanding can help settle conflicts.
【4】What would be the best title for the text?
A．Ways to finish housework.
B．Advantages of the Notes app.
C．A family to-do list goes digital.
D．Working parents face difficulties.

A farmer grew some vegetables in his garden. One day his wife was ill and he had no money. He had to sell some cabbages and carrots in the market. The next morning he took two baskets of vegetables to the town. But it was Snowing hard that afternoon and there were few people in the street. When his vegetables were sold out, it was dark. He bought some medicine and hurried to his village.
On his way home he saw a person lying in the snow. He placed his baskets on the ground and was going to help the person to get up. At that time he found it was a dead man and there was much blood on his body. He was so afraid that he ran away quickly, without taking the baskets with him.
The next afternoon the farmer was sent to the police station. Having shown the baskets, an officer asked, "Are these yours?” "Yes, sir," the farmer answered timidly (胆怯地). "Have you killed the man?” "No, no, sir," the farmer said in a hurry. "When did you see the dead man?” “About seven last evening." "Did you see who killed the man?” "No, sir." The officer brought out a knife and asked, "Have you seen it yet?” “No, sir." The officer became angry and told a policeman to beat up the farmer and sent him into prison.
