21．（6分）A ROBOT companion for older people aims to promote activity and deal with loneliness by urging them to take part in digital and physical activities.
The ElliQ robot, made by Israel-based start-up Intuition Robotics, will be published at the Design Museum in London this week. ElliQ is a small desktop device that consists of a domed (拱形的) “body” and a separate detachable (可拆卸的) screen.
Created in collaboration with Swiss designer Yves Behar, the robot is able to encourage a degree of social engagement. Similar to home assistants like the Amazon Echo, people can simply talk to it, and there are visual clues that could be particularly helpful for those with hearing difficulties.
A key purpose of ElliQ is to act as an easy platform to access existing services such as social media, and messaging programs. For example, the device could alert the users that their grandchild has posted a new photo on Facebook, show it to them on the screen.
ElliQ can recommend activities voluntarily. It might ask if you’re interested in watching a video, for instance, or suggest a walk. It can also act as reminder to take medication.
Having a robot constantly offer suggestions could obviously get annoying, so the device uses machine learning to tailor these suggestions to individual preferences. If a suggestion is met with a positive response once, ElliQ might try it again. If not, it might change for a different tack.
1、Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A．A robot companion for older people will strongly advise them to participate in digital and physical activities to be healthy.
B．The ElliQ robot is published at the Design Museum in London.
C．The screen of the ElliQ robot can be removed if necessary.
D．The ElliQ robot is created by Swiss designer Yves Behar and Israel-based start-up Intuition Robotics.
2、The underlined word “alert” is closest m meaning to .
A．declare B．announce
C．remind D．say
3、ElliQ can serve the following purposes EXCEPT .
A．when the user’s friend updates his moments (朋友圈), it can show it to the user on the screen.
B．it can recommend some activities even the user doesn’t ask.
C．it will constantly give suggestions regardless of the user’s individual preference.
D．it can help those with hearing difficulties by offering visual clues.
4、In which column we are most likely to find the passage?
A．News & Technology B．People
C．Health D．International Affairs
22．（8分）The morning she left for Camp Kanawa, Maria awoke with an ache in her stomach. She had gone on plenty of parties. She ’ d even spent a whole weekend at Aunt Jolie and Uncle Ed ’ s. So what happened to her?
No breakfast today, she thought, imagining the ache turning into throwing up and a horrible road trip after a full meal. As usual, Maria felt hungry as soon as the room smelled of French toast. On the other hand, maybe a good breakfast was exactly what she needed.
“There’ s my big camper!’’ said her mom. Then, she walked to the stove, placed two pieces of French toast on a plate and powdered sugar snowing down. “Just like you like it. ’’ At the meanwhile, Maria was already in position, armed with knife, fork, napkin and full glass of milk.

“ I think it ’ s fashionable，” Maria said，dipping a bite in some syrup (糖楽）.

“For the record，it was a science camp，，’ Maria’s mother reminded her, looking her straight in the eyes. “In all seriousness, Maria, popularity is not important and finding the people who like you for you—that ’ s what matters. ”

23．（8分）One day when I was 12, my mother gave me an order: I was to walk to the public library, and borrow at least one book for the summer. This was one more weapon for her to defeat my strange problem—inability to read.
In the library, I found my way into the “Children’s Room”. I sat down on the floor and pulled a few books off the shelf at random. The cover of a book caught my eye. It presented a picture of a beagle. I had recently had a beagle, the first and only animal companion I ever had as a child. He was my “secret sharer”, but one morning, he was gone, given away to someone who had the space and the money to care for him. I never forgot my beagle.
There on the book’s cover was a beagle which looked identical(相同的) to my dog. I ran my fingers over the picture of the dog on the cover. My eyes ran across the title, Amos: the Beagle with a Plan. Unknowingly, I had read the title. Without opening the book, I borrowed it from the library for the summer.
Under the shade of a brush, I started to read about Amos. I read very, very slowly with difficulty. Though pages were turned slowly, I got the main idea of the story about a dog who, like mine, had been separated from his family and who finally found his way back home. That dog was my dog, and I was the little boy in the book. At the end of the story, my mind continued the final scene of reunion, on and on, until my own lost dog and I were, in my mind, running together
My mother’s call returned me to the real world. I suddenly realized something: I had read a book, and I had loved reading that book. Everyone knew I could not read. But I had read it. Books could be incredibly wonderful and I was going to read them.
I never told my mother about my “miraculous(奇迹)” experience that summer, but she saw a slow but remarkable improvement in my classroom performance during the next year. And years later, she was proud that her son had read thousands of books, was awarded a PhD in literature, and authored his own books, articles, poetry and fiction. The power of the words has held.
1、The author’s mother told him to borrow a book in order to ________.
A．encourage him to do more walking B．let him spend a meaningful summer
C．help cure him of his reading problem D．make him learn more about weapons
2、The book caught the author’s eye because________.
A．it reminded him of his own dog
B．he found its title easy to understand
C．it contained pretty pictures of animals
D．he liked children’s stories very much
3、Why could the author manage to read the book through?
A．He was forced by his mother to read it.
B．He identified with（对某事有同感） the story in the book.
C．The book told the story of his pet dog.
D．The happy ending of the story attracted him.
4、Which one could be the best title of the passage?
A．My Passion for Reading B．Mum’s Strict Order
C．Reunion with My Beagle. D．The Charm of a Book.
24．（8分）The year 2117 will be an eventful one for art. In May of that year in Berlin, the philosopher-artist Jonathon Keats’ “century cameras”— cameras with a 100-year-long exposure (曝光)time—will be brought back from hiding places around the city to have their results developed and exhibited. Six months after that, the Future Library in Oslo, Norway, will open its doors for the first time, presenting 100 books printed on the wood of trees planted in the distant past of 2017.
As Katie Paterson, the creator of the Future Library, puts it: “Future Library is an artwork for future generations.” These projects, more than a century in the making, are part of a new wave of slow art intended to push viewers and Participants to think beyond their own lifetimes. They aim to challenge today’s short-term thinking and the brief attention spans of modern consumers, forcing people into considering works more deliberately. In their way, too, they are fighting against modern culture—not just regarding money, but also the way in which artistic worth is measured by attention.
In a similar fashion, every April on Slow Art Day, visitors are encouraged to stare at five works of art for 10 minutes at a time—a tough task for the average museum visitor, who typically spends less than30seconds on each piece of art.
Like the Future Library, the century cameras are very much a project for cities, since it’s in cities that time runs fastest and the pace of life is fastest. “Since I started living in a city, I’ve somehow been quite disconnected,” Anne Beate Hovind, the Future Library project manager, who described how working on the library drew her back to the Pace of life she knew when she was growing up on a farm in her youth, told The Atlantic magazine.

B．The Future Library will be0pen to the public for the first time.
C．Photos with a 100-year exposure time will be developed and exhibited.
D．Books printed on the wood of trees planted in 2017 will be displayed.
2、What can we learn about today’s people’s attitude toward works of art?
A．They consider works deliberately.
B．They spend little time on Works.
C．They spend much money 0n works.
D．They stare at works for 10 minutes at a time.
3、What is the purpose of the wave of slow art?
A．To advocate creating works of art slowly.
B．To protect works of art from being damaged.
C．To promote works of art for modern culture.
D．To encourage people to pay more attention to works of art.
4、How would Anne Beate Hovind feel about the city life?

25．（10分） In the space of just two years, the app Douyin, created by Beijing-based company ByteDance, has gathered more than half a billion users—around 40％ of them outside China—who share short videos of themselves lip-syncing （假唱）, cooking, dancing or just being silly. What sets ByteDance apart is its success in the social media category, which is controlled by Facebook, Twitter and Snap—all Western companies.
ByteDance calls itself an artificial intelligence company. It uses machine learning and algorithms （算法） to figure out what people like most and give them more of what they want to see. On Douyin, people can edit and beautify 15-second videos before posting them online. The app has even made a phrase to describe people glued to their customized feeds: “shua Douyin” or “scrolling through Douyin”. Last year, the company released TikTok, the overseas version of Douyin. ByteDance’s growing video empire has made it the world’s fifth biggest app maker. ByteDance says TikTok and Douyin together have more than 500 million monthly activ
