21．（6分）Kanda really doesn't like to walk alone. The scientist from a research institute of intelligent robots finds the experience so boring that he'd rather drive—even though he lives close to his lab and knows that walking us healthy. "I enjoy walking with someone, like with my wife, with my daughter," Kanda said. "But they are not always available."
So Kanda, who specializes in human-like bots, developed a robotic walking partner that could make small talk based on its surroundings, which, he hopes, might motivate people to get out and exercise more. The bot rests on a person's shoulder like a boxy parrot. It weighs about a pound and a half and sits roughly 8.5 inches high, 3.5inches wide, and 10 inches long. A microphone, speaker, and internal camera allow it to communicate. It's even equipped with a smile.
Kanda and his team collected video form five different locations, including a garden and a shopping mall, and created a dataset of small talk topics related to each location. Then they programmed the robot to associate visual cues with specific topics. A special speech software provided the robot with a voice. Near a group of parked cars, for example, it might say, "In a big parking lot, sometimes I forget where I parked."
They tested the robot on 15 volunteers, 10 males and 5 females, who were paid and averaged about 26 years old. "Have you ever blown a puff of dandelion（蒲公英）seeds into the air?" The robot asked a participant, who smiled and responded, "Yes, I often did that when I was a child." Although several participants noted the robot's weight, Kanda was surprised that no one considered the experience as strange or funny. "I guess people enjoy new technologies," he said.
Just like a human partner, Kanda's bot isn't perfect. It's not able to go for walks in heavy rain and, while the robot can make expressions, it can't really hold a conversation, about which Kanda is most worried. Despite its limits, Kanda was comforted by the bot's presence. "I felt a kind of sense of being with someone, "he said, "particularly when it spoke."
1、Why does Kanda have the idea of developing a robotic walking partner?
A．Because he wants someone to accompany him while walking.
B．Because he has never developed a robot like a parrot.
C．Because his family are unwilling to walk with him.
D．Because he is crazy about developing robots.
2、What characteristic does the robot have?
A．It can "speak" and "see".
B．It can walk like a human being.
C．It can communicate with people freely.
D．It is much more humorous than a real person.
3、What is necessary for the robot to function?
A．A small size.
B．A boxy shape.
C．A human partner.
D．A speech software.
4、What is Kanda most likely to do about his robot next?
A．To make it more convenient to carry.
B．To improve its conversational skills.
C．To enable it to walk in heavy rain.
D．To better its sound system.

23．（8分）“This way, everyone.” said the young Bahamian as he led the way to the hoar. As the boat moved over the waves, I thought back eleven years to my first island visit via a cruise ship. As we landed, I noticed a sign advertising swimming with dolphins. I looked at my mother; she knew exactly what I wanted, but I was too young. “Maybe some other time,” she said. I think everyone knows that those four words usually translate to never. It made me, a little boy, depressed for many days. From that day on, it was my dream to swim with those gentle creatures.
Now, after 15 minutes of travelling, we reached the Sanctuary Bay. As we arrived, I saw the gray creatures showing off their unique talent before my eyes. We were led off the boat, past a back building. Our guide told us we would have the pleasure of spending the next 90 minutes with Kaholo, a young male, and Robola, the largest female, who is quite famous for having played the lead in the film Zeus and Roxanne.
My father and I were joined by four others and followed the man once more. He told us to jump into the water while he let the dolphins into that part of the bay. For the first 20 minutes, we could go anywhere and touch the dolphins as they swam by.
Kaholo and Robola must have known I was their biggest fan because they swam towards me as if I had had fish. After the introductory period, they jumped over our heads. I got a hug and kiss from Robola, and also learned how to have Kaholo talk to me.
This was by far the most magical experience of my life. Next time your parents say “Maybe some other day”, have faith in them. Y our dreams are important to them too, and they will do whatever they can to make it possible, because dreams can come true.
1、What was the author’s dream according to the text?
A．Travelling with his parents.
B．Swimming with dolphins.
C．Visiting the Sanctuary Bay.
D．Watching a film played by dolphins.
2、How did the author feel after the first island visit?
A．Excited. B．Puzzled.
C．Unhappy. D．Energetic.
3、What did Kaholo and Robola do during the visit?
A．They stayed away from the author.
B．They learnt to have a talk to the author.
C．They had special interest in the author’s fish.
D．They showed a friendly attitude towards the author.
4、What’s the best title for the text?
A．Dreams Do Come True
B．Play with Dolphins
C．My Parents’ Promise
D．The First Island Visit
24．（8分）Music has always been associated with exercising. Most of us listen to our favorite music while jogging in the park or while working out in the gym, but we never think of it as more than just an accompaniment to our exercisc routine. But recent scientific research has thrown light on the fact that using the “right” music while exercising can do you a whole lot of good: from creating a feeling of positivity to calming any anxious feelings.
Research on the effects of music during exercise has been done for years. In 1911，an American researcher, Leonard Ayres, found that cyclists pedaled faster while listening to music than they did in silence.
This happens because listening to music can drown out our brain’s cries of fatigue. As our body realizes we’re tired a nd wants to stop exercising, it sends signals to the brain to stop for a break. Listening to music competes for our brain’s attention, and can help us to overcome those signals of fatigue, though this is mostly beneficial for low-and moderate-intensity exercise. During high-intensity exercise, music isn’t as powerful as pulling our brain’s attention away from the pain of the workout.
Not only can we manage to exercise longer and harder when we listen to music, but it can actually help us to use our energy more efficiently. A 2015 study showed that cyclists who listened to music required 7% less oxygen to do the same work as those who cycled in silence. So in the same way that exercising makes us happier, it’s not surprising that music adds significantly to o ur work-out success.
What have you noticed about how music affects you? Next time when you take exercise, select the right music to accompany you. Y ou will find yourself in a more different mood than ever.
1、Why do some people listen to music while exercising?
A．They attach importance to enjoying music.
B．They know music helps do exercise.
C．They find music is an interesting accompaniment.
D．They don’t give too much consideration to it.
2、How will you do when you want to stop exercising?
A．To try to listen to the music you like.
B．To stop for a rest immediately.
C．To tell yourself never to do like that.
D．To send a signal to your brain.
3、It can be inferred from the fourth paragraph that .
A．listening to music can help produce more energy
B．the cyclists love listening to music more than others
C．people should take listening to music seriously while exercising
D．significant music can benefit high-intensity exercise
25．（10分）At first glance Esther Okade seems like a normal 10-year-old. She loves dressing up, playing with Barbie dolls and going to the park or shopping. But what makes the British-Nigerian youngster stand out is the fact that she’s also a university undergraduate.
Esther, from Walsall, an indust rial town in the UK’s West Midlands region, is one of the country’s youngest college freshmen. The talented 10-year-old enrolled at the Open University, a UK-based distance learning college, in January and is already top of the class, having recently scored 100% in a recent exam.
“It’s so interesting. It has the type of maths I love. It’s real maths-theories, complex numbers, all that type of stuff,” she smiles. “I want to finish the course in two years. Then I’m going to do my PhD in financial maths when I’m 13. I want to have my own bank by the time I’m 15 because I like numbers and I like people and banking is a great way to help people.” she adds.
Esther has always jumped ahead of her peers. She sat her first Math GSCE exam, a British high school qualification, at Ounsdale High School in Wolverhampton at just six, where she received a C-grade. A year later, she got the A-grade she wanted. Then last year she scored a B-grade when she sat the Math A-level exam.
Not content with breaking barriers to attend college at just 10 years old, Esther is also writing a series of math workbooks for children called “Yummy Yummy Algebra.”
“It starts at a beginner level-that’s volume one. But then there will be volume two, and volume three, and then volume four. As long a s you can add or subtract, you’ll be able to do it. I want to show other children they are special.” she says.
