【題目】
It was at least two months before Christmas when nine-year-old Almie Rose told her father and me that she wanted a new bicycle. As Christmas drew nearer, her desire for a bicycle didn’t seem that strong, so we bought the most popular present for little girls, Baby Sitter’s Club dolls and a doll house.
Then, out of our expectation, on December 23, Almie said that she “really wanted a bike more than anything else”. It was just too late. With all the details of preparing Christmas dinner and buying last minute gifts, how could we have time to select the “right bike” for our little girl?
So, here we were Christmas Eve around 9:00 p.m., with Almie and her six-year-old brother, Dylan, ready for sleep in their beds. Now we could only think of the bicycle and the disappointment of our child.
“If I make a little bicycle out of clay (黏土) and write a note that she could trade (用…抵換) the clay model in for a real bike, what do you think?” her dad asked.
“Well, for now, I think this is the best thing we can do. And she is ‘such a big girl’, so I think she will like it.”
So Almie’s dad spent the next four hours working with clay to make a tiny bike. On Christmas morning, we were excited for Almie to open the little heart-shaped package with the beautiful red and white clay bike and the note. Finally, she opened it and read the note aloud.
“Does this mean that I trade in this bike that Daddy made me for a real one?”
Smiling, I said, “Yes.”
Almie had tears in her eyes when she replied, “I could never trade in this beautiful bicycle that Daddy made me. I’d rather keep this than get a real bike.”
At that moment, we wanted to buy her every bicycle on the planet.
【1】When did Almie first ask for a new bike? _____________.
【2】What caused Almie’s parents to buy her the most popular present for little girls? ______.
【3】Why was it too late for Almie’s parents to buy a bike for her on December 23? ______.
【4】What kind of bike did Almie get on Christmas morning? _______________________.
【5】What did Almie think of the present in the little heart-shaped package? ____________.
【6】What is the implied (隱含的) meaning of the underlined sentence? _________________.

【題目】 Research has already suggested that opening a book may help improve brain function and reduce stress. Now, a team led by Joanna Sikora of the Australian National University is looking into the benefits of growing up around a bookfilled environment; the researchers' new study suggests that homes with libraries can arm children with skills that last well into adulthood.
The study looked at data from 160 000 adults from 31 countries, including the United States, Australia, Turkey and Chile. Participants (參與者) filled out surveys with the Programme for the International Assessment of Competencies, which measures proficiency (水平) in three areas: literacy (讀寫能力), numeracy and information communication technology. People, 25 to 65 years old, were asked to tell how many books were in their house when they were 16 years old. The research team was interested in this question because home library size can be a good sign of “bookoriented socialization.” Participants were able to choose from a given range of books that included everything from“10 or less” to “more than 500.”
The surveys, which were taken between 2011 and 2015, showed that the average (平均的) number of books in participants' childhood homes was 115, but that number varied widely from country to country. The average library size in Norway was 212 books, for example; in Turkey, it was 27. In all, however, it seemed that more books in the home was linked to higher proficiency in the areas tested by the survey.
The effects were most marked when it came to literacy. Growing up with few books in the home resulted in below average literacy levels. Being surrounded by 80 books raised the levels to average, and literacy continued to improve until libraries reached about 350 books,at which point the literacy rates leveled off. The researchers saw similar things when it came to numeracy; the effects were not as pronounced with information communication technology tests, but skills did improve with increased numbers of books.
So, what does the new study tell us? Take, for example, an adult who grew up with hardly any books in the home, but went on to get a university degree compared to an adult who grew up with a large home library, but only had nine years of schooling. The study found that both of their literacy levels were almost the same. “So, literacywise, bookish childhood makes up for a good deal of educational advantage,” the study authors write.
Further research is needed to decide exactly why exposure to ( 沉浸在) books in childhood encourages valuable skills later in life, but the study offers further evidence to suggest that reading has a powerful effect on the mind. And so home library size might be important because, as the researchers note, “children emulate (模仿) parents who read.”
【1】The second paragraph is mainly about .
A.what the study found out
B.how the study was carried out
C.who were invited to the research
D.why the researchers did the study
【2】The phrase “leveled off” in Paragraph 4 probably means “ ”.
A.backed to averageB.started falling
C.continued to growD.stopped rising
【3】The example in Paragraph 5 shows .
A.the disadvantage of having little school education
B.the effect of having a home library in childhood
C.the necessity of raising people's literacy level
D.the importance of getting a university degree
【4】What can we learn from the passage?
A.The study explained why bookish childhood encouraged valuable skills.
B.Adults benefit more from a home library than children.
C.Home library size has little to do with numeracy level.
D.Parents who love reading benefit children a lot.

【題目】Robotic Pets
I am going to predict how people are going to be with future technology in their life. I think robotic pets are going to be increasingly popular as the technology develops. At least I am going to build what I think is a strong case for this prediction.
From a neurological point of view, I do not see anything in the way to people bonding (紐帶) fully with robotic pets. The human brain can attach (賦予) emotions to things and respond to emotional signaling. Being alive is simply not required. From how objects move, our brains infer that they are able to act with their own will and purpose. If they move in a way that cannot be explained simply as passive (被動(dòng)的) movement, then they must be moving on their own. Therefore, they can connect to the emotional centers in our brains. We either fear them, or love them, or hunger for them, or whatever. We can respond emotionally with cartoon creatures, with animals, and yes, even with robots. Our brains treat things that act alive as if they are alive—no different.
One of the opposite points that people often bring up is that they love the way their pets behave, not just look. This gets to AI, which has been developing at a fast pace. We have AI that can beat world masters in chess and go. I have no doubt we can build AI to mimic (模仿) the behavior of dogs and cats, if not now then probably within a generation.
So we will have no problem fully emotionally bonding with a robotic pet. But this doesn't mean we would prefer such a pet. One argument against robotic pets is that they will be expensive compared to a live pet—but this is likely not to be true forever. Living pets need to be fed, and they need at least basic medical care, and they may need to be boarded at times. Also, people spend hundreds of dollars on pets, __________or thousands of dollars on purebred species. Robotic pets will finally cost less in total than biological ones.
But let's get to the real reason people will prefer robotic pets at last. The possibilities for building in useful technology are endless. An advanced robotic pet could also serve as a defensive and alarm system. You could recharge your cell phone off their batteries. They could be a walking cell phone. They would be excellent companions for the elder, affording them more independence for longer. This in itself would be a huge cost saving—anything that keeps people out of a nursing home is cost effective.
Imagination is really the only limitation, once you have the basics of a working robot. When the technology crosses a certain limit, this will be a thing. Future generations may consider keeping a living animal in your home as primitive (原始的) and cruel. They may have a point.
【1】Why can we bond fully with robotic pets?
A.They can respond to our reactions.
B.They can move actively and freely.
C.Our brains can treat things differently.
D.Our brains can attach emotions to them.
【2】According to the passage, we know that .
A.robotic pets will be cost effective in the future
B.present AI can mimic all the behaviors of live pets
C.the elder prefer to have robotic pets as companions
D.the young think it primitive and cruel to keep live pets
【3】The writer probably agrees that .
A.live pets will serve us better
B.it is easier to keep live pets at home
C.technology ensures robotic pets a bright future
D.imagination limits the development of robotic pets
