【題目】 I always think my daughter Kendall is the best—that's just what parents do. When she was only three, she sang for the people, like a little angel.
When Kendall was five, we noticed that she sometimes had a tic (面部抽搐). When the problem got worse, we took her from doctor to doctor. During the treatment, Kendall continued to sing. Surprisingly, her tics disappeared when she sang.
When Kendall was sixteen, we thought she would be cured soon. However, a terrible thing happened.
At a party, Kendall jumped on a friend for a piggyback ride. He bent lower than she expected, and she jumped higher than he expected. Kendall flew over his back and landed on the floor—on her neck. She was rushed to hospital, paralyzed(癱瘓) from the neck down. She couldn't move. But her biggest worry wasn't whether she would walk again, but was whether she could try out for a show called American Idol.
As the days went on, feeling on her left side returned, but she was still paralyzed on the right. We weren't sure how much of her movement would come back. A friend brought a microphone and put it on her bed. Every day, Kendall tried hard to pick it up. It was more important for her to pick up that microphone than a spoon or fork.
Sometimes she had to bite a toothbrush to take her mind off the pain. We all cried because of the pain we witnessed. But on the day—only three months after her accident—we cried full of joy when she sang, though she didn't enter the Top 24 of American Idol.
When she was a little girl, she asked me why it was she that had tics. My heart hurt, but I told her, "Kendall, you have a pure heart, a fantastic voice, a strong mind. And you are a beautiful presence.”
【1】When did they notice that Kendall sometimes had a tic?

【2】What was a surprise during the treatment in Paragraph 2?

【3】Why was it more important for Kendall to pick up that microphone than a spoon or fork?
A.Because Kendall loved singing.
B.Because Kendall didn't like a spoon or fork.
C.Because Kendall's friend brought the microphone for her.
D.Because that microphone was more beautiful for her than a spoon or fork.
【4】What is the best title of the passage?
A.An American Idol.

【題目】閱讀短文,按要求回答問題。
Amy was looking for a gift for her little daughter. She stopped in front of a store full of dolls.
"Girls like dolls," she thought as she stepped into the store.
Looking around, she saw a grandma doll -- one with grey hair and a pair of glasses. In her mind appeared Joyce, her own mother.
When Amy was a little girl, she got her first doll from Joyce for her birthday. Then the second, the third.., the dolls never arrived late, year after year.
"Why always a doll?" This question had been inAmy's mind until one day her father gave the answer.
Joyce dreamed of having a doll when she was a child herself. Her parents promised one for her fifth birthday. Sadly, they both died in a traffic accident before it arrived. The never-received gift was the mostvaluable one in her eyes.
Recalling(回想起) her mother's story, Amy got an idea.
It was Joyce's 60th birthday. She got a package with a card that read:
Dear Joyce,
I forget to send you a package that you should have received on May 20, 1956, your fifth birthday.
The gift inside has aged, but I felt that you might still want to have it.
Love,
Angel of Joy
Joyce opened the package and saw a lovely grandma doll. She clasped the doll that she had waited so many years for, with tears running down her face. The doll, given by her "Angel of Joy", made her the happiest "child" in the world.
【1】Why did Joyce buy her daughter Amy a doll year after year?
__________________________________________
【2】Did Joyce's parents realize their promise?

【3】When was Joyce bom?

【題目】Future astronauts could travel with emotional support robots
To help astronauts of the future survive(幸免于) the mental(精神的) challenges that come with staying in space for quite a long time, space travelers’ tasks could soon be accompanied(陪伴) by AI-powered, empathetic(有同理心的,同感的) robotic helpers.
Not only does space travel present astronauts with lots of physical stresses, spending months or years in such a physically demanding(要求高的) place with limited space and the same people can also raise many mental tests as well. According to MIT Technology Review, scientists are working to alleviate astronauts from some of the latter challenges by creating “an AI assistant that’s able to feel human emotion and respond(做出反應(yīng)) with empathy.”
While such a technology would prove itself useful by being able to predict the needs of the crew members in space and “intervene(干預(yù)) if their mental health is in danger,” it has the potential to be life-saving when humans choose to explore beyond Earth’s gravitational field(引力場) and towards deep space.
Though astronauts currently on the International Space Station have an intelligent robot to interact with called CIMON, it is short of proper emotional intelligence according to NASA CTO Tom Soderstrom. As a result, a team at the organization’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory is working on a more complex(復(fù)雜的) emotional support companion that can control a spacecraft’s functioning in addition to tracking the crew members’ behaviours.
Right now in the lab, an AI-equipped robot called Henry the Helper can be found walking around the grounds assisting visitors who appear confused or lost based on their facial expression. Two more emotionally intelligent robots are expected to be introduced later this year, one of which is said to be able to take part in conversations more complex than giving navigation(導(dǎo)航) assistance.
The team’s final goal is to make a companion named Fiona the Future a reality, an emotionally intelligent cross-platform system. Fiona, if all goes according to the JPL’s plans, will help keep astronauts of the future stay mentally fit as they start their journeys to deep space.
【1】What does the underlined word alleviate in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A.面臨B.應(yīng)對C.緩解D.刺激
【2】According to the passage, which is the biggest challenge astronauts meet in space?
A.Mental health.B.Physical health.C.Food safety.D.Environment.
【3】Which of the following is NOT true about the future AI helpers?
A.They will be able to know human emotion by feeling.
B.They will be able to control the crew members’ behaviours.
C.They will be able to guess what the crew members want.
D.They will be able to join in the conversations with the crew members.
