第二部分 阅读理解（满分20分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
If you live in Washington, D．C．, or Redwood, Calif., you may have glimpsed a small, boxy robot rolling along a local sidewalk, minding it’s own business, but attracting the attention of many a curious onlooker. The autonomous machines were part of a pilot program last year by Starship Technologies focused on delivering meals from local restaurants in dozens of cities around the world.
“Today, more than ever, people lead a busy and diverse life,” Lex Bayer, Starship’s CEO, said in a statement online. “The hassle of needing to rearrange your life for a delivery will become a thing of the past. You don’t have to switch your working from home day, reschedule meetings, visit a locker, drive to a post office or contact a deliveryman all because of a missed delivery.”
The package delivery service is not available to everyone just yet. The company said it’s rolling out the service in Milton Keynes, England. The wheeled robots have a top speed of 4 mph and can detect obstacles from as far as 30 feet away. “The robot can operate through just about anything,” Nick Handrick, head of operations for Starship’s D．C．office, told The Washington Post's Maura Judkis last year. “If you had something in the way—a stick—it’s able to climb the edges of a road.”
By giving customers control of when deliveries occur, Starship Technologies is offering its service as a way to battle package theft. In its announcement, the company cited statistics from a Wakefield Research Poll for Comcast last year that found that 3 in 10 Americans who live in houses or townhouses have had packages stolen.
To sign up for the service, which costs a little more than $10 per month, customers need to download the company's app. Customers then create a “Starship Delivery Address,” a unique address inside a Starship facility, instead of a residence, where they can have packages sent from places such as Amazon, com. Once a package is delivered to the Starship address, customers receive a text that allows them to schedule a home delivery via robot.
1、Which can best replace the underlined word “hassle” in paragraph 2?
A．failure B．expectation C．safety D．trouble
2、What problem is the delivery robot facing?
A．There is a limit to its service area.
B．It takes longer to deliver packages.
C．It covers a short distance each time.
D．It can’t sense the barriers 20 feet away.
3、How does the package by a robot avoid being stolen?
A．The company shortens the delivery hour.
B．The package is delivered to the house directly.
C．Its delivery time is in the control of customers.
D．The customers are informed of its delivery time in advance.
4、What can be inferred about Starship Delivery Address in the last paragraph?
A．It is a real home address of the customers.
B．It can arrange delivery robots for the customers.
C．It is a cheaper solution to the delivery of packages.
D．It sends the packages mainly to some shopping platforms.

B
I was disheartened recently when I turned on the news to hear a story about a family who is petitioning(请愿) the Hampton School Board to receive out-of-district compensation to place their daughter in an out-of-district school due to racial bullying. I was disheartened because I know that even if this family wins their petition, the root of the problem will still continue.
While there are many contributing factors to the rapid increase of the bullying, I believe that the root of this problem lies within the restrictions of schools, or rather the teachers and administrators who allow bullying to happen while feeding the line "We have a no-tolerance policy" to students and parents.
This family can move their daughter to a new school where she will feel safe to learn and grow, but they will leave behind the problem of the educators at this school who let the racial bullying happen.
My son went to a private school in Concord. He was bullied on the play yard. The administration gave us the "No tolerance" line, but did nothing to stop the bullying or change the climate of the school.
We pulled our son out of this school and placed him in another school. This school truly understands how to guide students' acceptance of differences and embrace teachable moments so that bullying is a non-issue.
I truly hope that this family gets the out-of-district placement for their daughter. However, I am doubtful that the school district will address the root of the problem.
1、The author felt disheartened probably because _____.
A．the family' s petition was turned down
B．the daughter of the family was bullied
C．the root of the problem won't be addressed
D．the family will receive the compensation if they win
2、According to the author, what is the main reason for the bullying increase?
A．This problem lies beyond schools.
B．The climate of schools is changeable.
C．Schools almost do nothing to stop the bullying.
D．Students don' t know how to accept differences.
3、What does the underlined expression "feeding the line" in Paragraph 2 mean?
A．Sending a message. B．Providing food.
C．Making criticism. D．Satisfying a desire.
4、What happened to the author' s son?
A．He asked his parents to place him in another school.
B．He was treated in a very unpleasant way in a school.
C．He went to a private school in Concord and studied with the girl.
D．He attended a school which knew nothing about the "No tolerance" line.
