I remember the day when I first learned to ride a bike. It was a frightening, yet fun experience.

My granddad was the one who taught me and he helped me when I got hurt. The first time I got on a

bike, I had no idea what I was doing, and just about everything went wrong. My granddad told me to

just put my feet on the pedals and start pedaling (

骑自行车

). He also told me he would hold onto the

back of the bike the whole time, yet he didn’t.

As soon as I started trying to balance myself, he let go. I happened to look back just then. I was

scared to death that I was going to fall and hurt myself. When I was scared, my mind went blank from

pedaling, and I just wanted off. I forgot how to use the brakes and fell right off the bike. My granddad

kept encouraging me to get up and try again, and after about 15 minutes, 1 finally stopped crying, got

up and tried again.

As soon as I started pedaling again, my pants got caught in the chain, and I fell flat on my face

and hit my nose. Since that happened , my granddad decided to call it a day and try again the next

morning. The next morning I woke up bright and early, and was very eager to try to ride my bike. My

nose felt better, so I wasn’t that afraid of falling anymore.

Though I knew there were a lot of difficulties on the way to mastering the skills in riding a bike,

I believed I could do well with my granddad’s help. After all, riding a bike was what I wanted to do

eagerly.

24. How was the author when he was on the bike first?

B. He was nervous and didn’t know what to do next.

C. He thought balancing himself was easy.

D. He put his feet on the pedals and started pedaling.

25. What does the underlined part in the passage mean?

B. Make the author feel happy.

D. Go on to ride a bike.

C. Remember what happened this day.

26. What is the author’s attitude towards his granddad?

A. Supportive.

B. Grateful.

C. Indifferent.

D. Negative.

27. Which of the following could be the title for the passage?

A. The Great Moment When I Stayed with My Granddad.

B. The Difficulty I Met with My Granddad.

C. The First Time I Got My Own Bike.

D. The Experience of My First Riding a Bike.

With

self

-

driving

vehicle

technology

rapidly

advancing,

many

companies

are

turning

to

autonomous robots for the final leg of the delivery process, from the store or local distribution center

to

the

customer.

The

latest

to

join

the

trend

is

e

-

commerce

giant

Amazon.

Following

a

successful

eight

-

month

test

run

in

Snohomish

County,

Washington,

the

company’s

Scout

robots

have

been

making the rounds of Irvine, California, since August 6, 2019.

The

six

-

wheeled

Scout

is

about

the

size

of

a

large

cooler

with

the

capacity

to

carry

small

or

medium

-

sized

packages.

The

battery

-

powered

vehicle,

which

moves

at

a

regular

walking

pace,

has

been programmed to avoid pedestrians, animals, and unexpected obstacles, such as garbage cans. Its

powerful sensors can also detect the movement of a car backing out of a driveway.

To

accelerate

Scout’s

development

and

bring

it

nationwide

sooner,

the

company

has

created

several detailed virtual maps of American suburbs and conducted trial deliveries to homes there.

Though Amazon has not shown how Scout ensures the delivery is picked up by the right person,

it most likely requires the customers to apply a unique code, texted to them prior to the delivery, to

unlock the store box. Also unclear is the number of deliveries Scout can complete before its battery

needs to be recharged. Though the initial tests are being conducted with a human for company, the

robot

will

be

autonomous

in

the

future.

Its

location,

however,

will

be

tracked

at

all

times

----

if

someone attempts to steal Scout, Amazon employees will be instantly sensed.

However, the eco

-

friendly robots are unable to climb stairs or open gates, which means that they

can only reach consumers who live on the ground level. Additionally, the robots are unable to leave

packages

at

the

front

door

if

the

customers

are

not

home.

Whether

these

problems

get

resolved

remains to be seen. For now, it appears that humans will still be needed to achieve the ever

-

growing

demand for home and office deliveries.

of the following descriptions about Scout is right?

A. They can be powered themselves.

B. They are strong enough to carry big things.

D. They can avoid obstacles ahead.

C. They can run with their six wheels.

about Scout is still confusing to common people?

A. How many deliveries it can do on a full charge.

B. Whether it can climb stairs or open gates.

C. How it recognizes the right owner of the things.

D. How long it will take to get it fully charged.

does the underlined phrase

A. due to

B. after

C. in front of

D. before

is the author’s opinion about delivery robots according to the last paragraph?

A. They are not easily available.

C. They will replace humans soon.

B. They have some limitations.

D. They won’t be well accepted.

Just how much does the Constitution(

宪法

) protect your digital data? The Supreme Court will

now consider whether police can search the contents of a mobile phone without a warrant (

授权令

)

if the phone is on or around a person during an arrest.

California has asked the justices to restore the practice that the police may search through the

contents of suspects’ smartphones at the time of their arrest. It is hard, the state says, for judges to

assess the implications of new and rapidly changing technologies .

The

justices

would

be

careless

if

they

followed

California's

advice.

They

should

start

by

rejecting California’s weak argument that exploring the contents of a smart phone is similar to say,

going

through

a

suspect's

wallet.

The

court

has

ruled

that

police

don't

offend

against

the

Fourth

Amendment(

修正案

)

when

they

go

through

the

wallet

of

an

arrestee

without

a

warrant.

In

fact,

exploring one's smartphone is more like entering his or her home. A smartphone may contain an

arrestee's

reading

history,

financial

history,

medical

history

and

comprehensive

records

of

recent

correspondence.

Americans

should

take

steps

to

protect

their

own

digital

privacy

and

should

avoid

putting

important

information

in

smartphones.

But

keeping

sensitive

information

on

these

devices

is

increasingly a requirement of normal life. Citizens still have a right to expect private documents to

remain private and protected by the Constitution's prohibition on unreasonable searches.

In

many

cases,

it

would

not

be

very

difficult

for

authorities

to

obtain

a

warrant

to

search

through

phone

contents.

They

could

still

trump(

打出王牌

)

the

Fourth

Amendment

protections

when facing severe and dangerous circumstances, such as the threat of immediate harm, and they

could take reasonable measures to ensure that phone data are not deleted or altered while a warrant

is on the way. The justices, though, may want to allow room for police to cite situations where they

are entitled to more flexibility.

But the justices should not swallow California's argument whole. New technology sometimes

demands fresh applications of the Constitution's protections. Orin Kerr, a law professor, compares

the explosion and accessibility of digital information in the 21st century with the establishment of

automobile use as a digital necessity of life in the 20th. At that time, the justices had to explain new

rules

for

the

new

personal

domain(

领域

)

of

cars.

Similarly,

the

justices

must

sort

out

how

the

Fourth Amendment of the Constitution applies to digital information now.

32.

The author’s attitude toward California’s argument is _____________.

A. skeptical

B. tolerant

C. indifferent

D. disapproving

33.

The author believes that exploring one's phone content is comparable to_____________.

A. getting into one's residence

C. scanning one's correspondences

B. handing one's historical records

D. going through one's wallet

34.

In paragraph 4 and 5, the author shows his concern that_____________.

A. principles are hard to be clearly expressed

B. citizens' privacy is not effectively protected

C. phones are used to store sensitive information

D. the court is giving police less room for action

Kerr's comparison is quoted to indicate that_____________.

A. the Constitution should be implemented flexibly

B. Principles of the Constitution should never be changed

C. New technology requires reinterpretation of the Constitution

D. California's argument violates principles of the Constitution

Will there be an outbreak of bird flu that threatens humans? Many experts disagree on when or

whether a human pandemic (

大流行病

) will occur, but do say there is a chance that the virus could

mutate(

变异

), leading to widespread infection.___36___Here’s what you need to know to help keep

yourself healthy.

Stock up on food, water and household supplies. If there is a bird flu pandemic, you'll want to

minimize your chance of catching it by staying indoors; you might even be required to stay home if

the

government

asks

that

people

remain

in

quarantine

(

隔离期

). You’d

better

stock

up

today

on

at

least 2

-

week worth of essentials such as water, food, emergency and medical supplies. ___37___

Have an outbreak plan. It may feel odd or uncomfortable to talk to family members and loved

ones about the worst

-

case pandemic scenario. But if that scenario strikes, you’ll all be much better off

if you have a plan decided on and ready. ___38___ Figure out how you would care for them and what

your first response and responsibilities would be; this is an especially important conversation to have

with those with special care needs.

___39___Things like keeping a balanced diet, exercising regularly and getting sufficient rest can

help keep you healthy in an outbreak and also keep you from catching the common cold. Particularly
