A
A friend sent me an email, asking if I'd consider writing about educational apps for children to watch while on road trips. The email said, "Many are turning to road trips. And often with long car rides comes the use of on-screen entertainment. These educational apps should also develop their art, math and design skills."
While I realize the intention is well-meaning, and doubtless would lead to a quieter car ride for the parents, the thought of sticking kids in front of screens on a road trip makes me queasy. You see, if they're glued to a screen for hours on end, they will miss everything that's going by outside the window. And that means they'll miss out a major part of the trip and the opportunity to engage in conversation with family members, but to be alone with their own thoughts, or simply to be bored.
There is so much to see on a road trip! Cars, trees, faces, building, markets, airplanes landing-the entire world is out there, and staring at it from the backseat of a car familiarizes a child with what is going on.
I have a theory that paying attention to one's surroundings while traveling by car helps children develop an internal compass. If they don't pay attention during all those years when they're being driven, they'll struggle to know where to go and how to locate themselves once they're independent. This doesn't mean they have to be alert (警惕的) for the entire journey, but not being on a screen naturally allows for a higher level of engagement with one's surroundings. When you listen to music, you'll look up occasionally; you'll pay attention to landmarks.
What can children do on the trip? Actually there are plenty of off-screen activities.
21．What was the author's friend's intention to develop apps?
A．To make some extra money.
B．To play games.
C．To entertain and educate children.
D．To improve the relationship in the family.
22．Which can best replace the underlined word "queasy" in paragraph 2?
A．Uncomfortable. B．Tired.
C．Unsafe. D．Lonely.
23．What is the author's opinion on focusing on the surroundings when traveling?
A．It can raise children's environmental awareness.
B．It can help children develop a sense of direction.
C．It can give children the courage to learn to drive.
D．It can enable children to become more independent.
24．What can be the best title for the text?
A．Take the Chance of Traveling to Relax Yourself.
B．Say Goodbye to Educational Apps on Your Holiday
C．Learn to Look up from Your Screens from Time to Time
D．Leave the Screens Alone on Your Next Family Road Trip

Music can make us feel happy or peaceful, energize us to dance, or move us to tears. As an orchestra (交响乐) conductor, Amy Andersson brings music to life, allowing people to experience the feelings that music can bring
She started to sing in the school Andersson, fell in love with music as a child. choirs in the first grade, began studying the piano at 7, and started composing at 9. Her school had no orchestra, but she bought many recordings of great orchestras and conductors and listened to them for hours every day.
During a concert, the audience see the back of a conductor and the arm movements she or he makes to lead the orchestra. What the audience do not see is all the work the conductor has done beforehand to prepare for the performance
Months before a concert, Andersson studies a piece of music by playing it on the piano. She decides how she wants each part to sound. Should it be fast or slow? Loud or soft? She reads about the composer's life and reviews historical events that have influenced the composer. Her goal is to recreate the music as the composer wanted.
While conducting, Andersson uses her whole body to express how the music should sound and feel. Her movements are dramatic (生动的) when the music is energetic, gentle and peaceful.
Each instrument makes a special sound. Although it is not necessary for conductors to know how to play all the instruments, they must be familiar with the sound of each instrument. To help young musicians understand how to play the music, Andersson will tell them to imagine a ship being hit by waves or a calm, leisurely (悠闲) walk.
Andersson has seen the audience at her concerts applauding (鼓掌) together in rhythm. She is happy to know that she and the musicians have brought joy into ordinary days.
25．What should an orchestra conductor do to perform well?
A．Prepare a lot before the performance.
B．Be able to play all of the instruments.
C．Learn how to compose at an early age.
D．Know what sort of music the audience like.
26．Why does Andersson review historical events?
A．To show her knowledge. B．To attract more audience.
C．To perform the music perfectly. D．To know more about conductors.
27．What does Andersson probably want to show by saying the underlined part?
A．Bad performance may cause danger.
B．Music can express people's feelings.
C．It is not easy to become an orchestra conductor.
D．Energetic music needs to be played dramatically(生动地).
28．Which of the following can be the best title of the text?
A．The magic power of music.
B．Andersson brings music to life.
C．Andersson tells you how to play music.
D．How to become a successful orchestra conductor.

Persephone is a tour guide in Greece, but not the type people are used to. As the world's first robot tour guide, Persephone has been welcoming visitors since mid-July to the Alistrati Cave（山洞）in northern Greece.
The robot covers the first 500 fact of the part of the cave. The robot can give its part of the tour in 33 languages and interact（互动）at a basic level with visitors in three languages． It can also answer 33 questions but only in Greek.
Nikos Cartelist scientific director for the Alistrati site, had the idea of creating the robot when he saw one on TV guiding visitors at an art gallery. The robot was built by the National Technology and Research Foundation and cost $ 139,000.
“We already have a 70% increase in visitors compared to last year since we started using the robot,” said Kartalis. “People are interested, especially the children, and people who had visited in the past are coming back to see the robot guide.”
Persephone, with a white body, black head and two eyes, moves on wheels, guiding visitors to the first three of eight stops along the walkway. She can do two more stops, but her low speed slows down the tour. Persephone's creators are considering ways to speed her up. Evdokia Karafera is one of the tour guides who partners with the robot. “It is helpful，because it speaks many languages. There’s just a little delay （耽搁）in the touring，”she said. “Most find it amazing, especially the children, and find it interesting that it speaks many languages.”
Karafera said, however that human tour guides couldn't be completely replaced. “Robots, at some point in the future, will take over many jobs. But I believe they cannot replace humans everywhere,” she said. “The robot is funny but can't replace the human contact with the guide and the conversation we can have on the way back.”
29.What can be learned about Persephone?
A. It once guided visitors at the art gallery.
B. It was built by Nikos Kartalis.
C. It can speak thirty-three languages.
D. It is about three feet in height.
30.Why do people who had visited the Alistrati Cave come back?
A. To visit an art gallery.
B. To see Persephone.
C. To learn the Greek language.
D. To help Evdokia Karafera.
31.What does Evdokia Karafera think of Persephone?
A. Interesting but imperfect.
B. Smart but useless.
C. Expensive but ineffective.
D. Beautiful but slow.
32.Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A. Greek:a Difficult Language
B. Alistrati: a Cave Worth Visiting
C. Robots: a Threat to Human Future
D. Persephone: an Unusual Tour Guide

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
In 2000, when I was around seven years old, my parents, sister, brother, and I were coming back from a T­ball game. That was our usual weekend adventure, but unlike every other weekend, a surprise was waiting for us in our driveway. There, we spotted two adult geese and a baby goose. The adults were shocked by our return and flew away, but their baby was still too young to fly and couldn't follow. We are no strangers to the ways of wildlife, so we knew to avoid physical contact with the baby goose out of fear that it would imprint upon us and be lost to its family forever.
Hours passed, and night fell. With it came a deep cold and a fear of watchful predators (捕食者), the tiny little thing was wandering around our yard, unaware of what could happen, and it was clear that the baby goose needed protection, warmth, and nutrients to make it to the morning. At that point, we knew we had to ste
