The snow finally stopped at noon, and I couldn' t wait go outside with my camera. As I walked on the path in the front of our building, I saw a boy suddenly slip in the snow-covered ground. It was at that moment when I realized what I should do. Immediately, I returned home to get a broom but started to sweep the path. I worked so hardly that I sweated a lot. An hour late, the thick snow was cleared away. Looked at the clean path, my neighbors all smiled and gave me thumbs up. I felt very happy that I have done something for my neighborhood.

文章主要介绍中国菠萝科学奖的相关知识和今年获奖的一些研究。

13. Did you know chimpanzees have excellent mathematical and art skills? Or that electronic dance music can reduce the appetite of mosquitoes?
These were just two of the 10 studies awarded at this year’s Pineapple Science Award ceremony on Nov 13 in Wenzhou.
For 10 years, China’s equivalent(等同物) of the Ig Nobel Prize has explored and recognized the fun side of science and encouraged curiosity-driven scientific research, Xinhua reported. Factually, all entries must have been published in recognized academic journals or presented at conferences.
“Being interesting is one of the most important standards for the prize,” said Wang Y ami, chief planner of the Pineapple Science A ward. “At the same time, the award-winning projects are also serious scientific studies.”
We all know chimpanzees can be quite clever, but we probably don’t think they could defeat university students or master street art. A study by researchers from Kyoto University was the winner of this year’s award for mathematics and art. Using their chimpanzee Abu and a control group of university students, the researchers found Abu could remember random numbers both more quickly and more accurately than the students.
Additionally, Wang said some chimpanzees demonstrated their ability to connect the real three-dimensional(三维的) world with the two-dimensional world on paper, reflecting a huge leap in the brain.
The prize for medicine went to the University of Malaysia Sarawak and a mosquito research and control unit of Grand Cayman. Their collaborative research showed the next time mosquitoes are bothering you, you may want to turn up the stereo. Their experiments used mosquitoes and a hamster(仓鼠). Consequently, mosquitoes exposed to electronic dance music wait longer to bite the hamster than those that are not.
“These awards help the younger generation be interested in science and improve their scientific literacy.” said Li Ruihong.
1. What did researchers find out about chimpanzees?
A．They can perform as well as humans drawing.
B．They memorize random numbers better than humans.
C．They are certainly much better at math than humans.
D．They can master art skills much faster than humans.
2. How does electronic dance music affect mosquitoes?
A．By making mosquitoes take a bite at once.
B．By helping mosquitoes to become more active.
C．By making mosquitoes wait longer to take a bite.
D．By helping mosquitoes bite more than ever before.
3. What can we infer about the Pineapple Science Award?
A．It has become a great part of the Ig Nobel Prize.
B．It inspires the new generations of curious minds.
C．It’s all about some funny business in people’s life.
D．It contributes to the animal science to a high level.
4. What’s the passage mainly about?
A．Some information about the winners of Ig Nobel Prize.
B．Some news about this year’s Pineapple Science Award.
C．New trends in science and technology around the world.
D．A detailed introduction to the Pineapple Science Award.
14. All I had to do for the two dollars was clean her house for a few hours after school. It was a beautiful house, too, with a plastic-covered sofa and chairs, wall-to-wall blue-and-white carpeting, a white enamel stove, a washing machine and a dryer—things that were common in her neighborhood, absent in mine. In the middle of the war, she had butter, sugar, steaks, and seam-up-the-back stockings.
I knew how to scrub floors on my knees and how to wash clothes in our zinc tub, but I had never seen a Hoover vacuum cleaner or an iron that wasn't heated by fire.
Part of my pride in working for her was earning money I could squander (浪费)：on movies, candy, paddleballs, jacks, ice-cream cones. But a larger part of my pride was based on the fact that I gave half my wages to my mother, which meant that some of my earnings were used for real things—an insurance-policy payment or what was owed to the milkman or the iceman. The pleasure of being necessary to my parents was profound.
I was not like the children in folktales: burdensome mouths to feed, nuisances to be corrected, problems so severe that they were abandoned to the forest. I had a status that doing routine chores in my house did not provide—and it earned me a slow smile, an approving nod from an adult. Confirmations that I was adultlike, not childlike.
In those days, the forties, children were not just loved or liked; they were needed. They could earn money; they could care for children younger than themselves; they could work the farm, take care of the herd, run errands（差事）, and much more. I suspect that children aren't needed in that way now. They are loved, doted on, protected, and helped. Fine, and yet...
Little by little, I got better at cleaning her house—good enough to be given more to do, much more. I was ordered to carry bookcases upstairs and, once, to move a piano from one side of a room to the other. I fell carrying the bookcases. And after pushing the piano my arms and legs hurt so badly. I wanted to refuse, or at least to complain, but I was afraid she would fire me, and I would lose the freedom the dollar gave me, as well as the standing I had at home—although both were slowly being eroded. She began to offer me her clothes, for a price. Impressed by these worn things, which looked simply gorgeous to a little girl who had only two dresses to wear to school, I bought a few. Until my mother asked me if I really wanted to work for castoffs. So I learned to say "No, thank you" to a faded sweater offered for a quarter of a week5s pay.
Still, I had trouble summoning （鼓起）the courage to discuss or object to the increasing demands she made. And I knew that if I told my mother how unhappy I was she would tell me to quit. Then one day, alone in the kitchen with my father, I let drop a few whines about the job. I gave him details, examples of what troubled me, yet although he listened intently, I saw no sympathy in his eyes. No "Oh, you poor little thing. " Perhaps he understood that what I wanted was a solution to the job, not an escape from it. In any case, he put down his cup of coffee and said, 44Listen. Y ou don't live there. You live here. With your people. Go to work. Get your money. And come on home. ”
That was what he said. This was what I heard:
Whatever the work is, do it well—not for the boss but for yourself.
You make the job; it doesn't make you.
Your real life is with us, your family.
You are not the work you do; you are the person you are.
I have worked for all sorts of people since then, geniuses and morons, quick-witted and dull, big-hearted and narrow. I've had many kinds of jobs, but since that conversation with my father I have never considered the level of labor to be the measure of myself, and I have never placed the security of a job above the value of home.
1. What is the "pleasure" of the author from the sentence "The pleasure of being necessary to my parents was profound. （paragraph 3） " ? A．She was proud as she could earn money for her mother.
B．Her own value of being needed.
C．She is distinctive from those children in folktales.
D．She enjoyed a status of being an adult in her family.
2. According to the article, which of the following is true about children in the 1940s and now?
A．Children become needed, loved and liked when they are at forty.
B．Children in modern times are less likely to be spoiled by parents.
C．Children in 1940s are capable as they can handle various daily routine.
D．Children in modern times aren' t needed to do daily works any more.
3. What did the author's father make her understand?
A．Don't escape from difficulties at work.
B．Whatever decision she made, her father would support her.
C．Convey her dissatisfaction with her work.
D．Make a distinction between work and life.
4. Which of the following corresponds to the author's views in the passage?
A．Don't regard work achievement as a criterion for evaluating oneself.
B．Hard work is a struggle for a better future in your limited life.
C．Parents are the best teachers of children.
D．Job security is less valuable when compared with family.

文章主要介绍了一个由残疾人远程控制机器人为顾客服务的咖啡馆。

15. In Japan, there is now a cafe that uses robots to attend to its guests. But that’s not the incredible part! Behind these robot servers are “pilots”, people with disabilities, who control them remotely.
Opened up in 2018, this café was initially meant to operate for just two weeks while its creators raised money for the future of this project. Later, encouraged by all the positive feedback from customers and employees, Ory Laboratory, the company behind this project, decided to open a permanent outpost. This is how, in June 2021, the “Avatar Robot Café DAWN ver. β” opened in Nihonbashi, Tokyo.
The pilots behind the robots are often severely disabled, with conditions like amyotrophic lateral sclerosis(ALS). They can control the robots from wherever they are, be they at home or in hospitals where they may be bedridden or in a wheelchair.
The robots are about four feet tall. Their 14-joint motors allow them to do things like carrying trays and picking up plates and cups. Consequently, they are able to welcome diners, take orders, deliver food and drinks, and even clear tables like regular waitstaff. To enable communication between the pilots and the guests, the robots also have a built-in camera, a microphone, and speakers. Finally, as if these features weren’t already quite impressive, the robots can be controlled through eye movements as well. This then allow seven immobilized people to work at this café.
Undoubtedly, people with severe disabilities are often restricted in their movements. This then poses a huge hurdle in their abilities to be employed or participate in the world. At the same time, other people might find it difficult to commute to work due to responsibilities such as childcare. For all such individuals, Ory Laboratory hopes that their robots can provide novel means of social participation. This way, their robots can give a brand-new meaning to remote working.
1. What’s special about this café?
A．Its robot waiters.B．Its management mode.
C．Its original founding purpose.D．Its employees controlling robot waiters.
2. What was the original purpose of this cafe?
A．To develop more branches.
B．To collect customer feedback.
C．To raise money for the company’s project.
D．To provide employment opportunities for the disabled.
3. What is the main idea of paragraph 4?
A．The features of the robot waiters.B．The popularity the robot waiters gain.
C．The rules robot waiters have to follow.D．The ways of controlling the robot waiters.
4. How does the writer feel about the future of this café?
A．Indifferent.B．Hopeful.C．Disappointed.D．Uncertain.

文章主要介绍了建设智能城市，我们需要很多新技术以及智能城市的一些弊端。

16. Cities around the world are racing to become “smart”. It’s just like a classroom full of hard-working students. Take Toronto, Canada, for
example. Tech company Google has made public a 1,500-page plan. It is going to remake two neighborhoods with things like snow-melting roads.
To build smart cities, we need lots of new technologies, such as robots and artificial intelligence (AI). These technologies will lead to safer and more efficient (效率高的) cities. However, they will also raise questions about privacy.
But there is a more serious problem: Smart cities will be difficult to manage.
As we know, tech products are sometimes unreliable (不可靠的). The Internet and our computers break down regularly. Tech products also age quickly. Only a few years into their lives, problems may become commoner and commoner.
In smart cities, many basic systems and services, such as water services, are based on such tech products. What if they break down regularly?
Can you imagine the result?
New technologies in 2020 will be outdated before 2025. If we use smart technologies widely in cities, we will need to be prepared to replace them every few years. But who would want to pay this bill?
The most important problem is whether having a smart city will make us better at solving urban problems, Smart technologies can’t solve problems on their own. Suppose AI programs discover a road that needs to be repaired. It still requires people to show up with asphalt (沥青) and a steamroller (蒸汽压路机), doesn’t it?
As an engineer, I think smart technologies should have a place in cities. However, that place is not everywhere. For many of our urban problems, we don’t really need the latest technologies. The best of the old ideas works better.
1. The underlined word “students” refers to _________.
A．cities in Canada B．advanced technologies
C．cities around the world D．people living in the cities
2. According to the article, what is Google going to do?
A．Remake two neighborhoods in Toronto.B．Make the company more efficient.
C．Invent snow-melting roads.D．Make public a plan for rebuilding Toronto.
3. According to the article, what do we need to build smart cities?
A．The best of old ideas.B．Lots of new technologies.
C．Asphalt and steamrollers.D．The internet and computers.
4. The example of a road that needs to be repaired is used to show _________.
A．tech products break down regularly in smart cities
B．it is difficult and expensive to manage a smart city
C．smart technologies can’t solve problems on their own
D．many new technologies become outdated within five years

文章讨论了旅游中独自游玩还是选择有导游的方式哪一种方式更好，作者根据自己的旅游经历建议最好是两者相结合，这种互补的方式能让旅游更完美、更难忘。

17. Is going alone in an unknown area the right way to go, or do you want a tour guide to show you the highlights? I think that you can combine
the two ways in one trip and have the best of both worlds. 1 The best purchase we made was for a bus tour that would take us around the capital and point out all the main sites. That allowed us the next day to travel on foot to the ones we especially wanted to see.
Let’s look at the San Francisco Bay Area which is another one of my favorite vacation spots. Some areas are so familiar to tourists that it’s possible to view the attractions on your own. 2 Fisherman’s Wharf and Pier 39 are good examples. Just by walking a few blocks, you can tour Aquarium of the Bay and the Riptide Arcade on Pier 39.
3 If you go to Alcatraz Island, you have a choice of going alone, having a live tour guide or being guided by earphones. I would recommend
the live tour guides. I went all three ways, and I received more enjoyment by someone telling me items interest I know I had missed on previous tours.
4 It gives you a behind-the-scenes look of colorful Chinatown. The tour covers history, traditions of the local people and culture that you
probably wouldn’t know or see by travelling alone.
Y ou can go alone to attractions or take a guided tour. It’s your choice and you can choose whichever would give you the most memorable experience. 5
A．I recommend both.
B．It’s possible to drive to the area and go alone.
C．One trip we recently took was to Washington DC.
D．Some attractions are worth having a tour guide for.
E．Chinatown Walking Tours are a tour-guided must-see.
F．That allows you to take your time and go at your own pace.
G．The tour guides know what we have never found out on our own.
