At only 8 years old, Kayzen Hunter has already displayed more character than some people ever manage. It all started about a year ago when the child became a regular diner at the Waffle House in Little Rock, Arkansas. His family goes for breakfast there at least once a week, and they always choose to sit in a certain waiter's section.
Devonte Gardner is a father of two who works hard for his living. He always has a smile on his face, and he quickly formed a friendly relationship with Kayzen and his family.

After a year of contact, the child's family learned the truth behind Devonte's bright smile.

Even so, he showed up at work every day with a smile on his face, ready to serve
and make friends with customers like Kayzen.
Kayzen knew right away that he wanted to help his friend. He went home and told his mom, Vittoria Hunter, that he wanted to start a GoFundMe to help Devonte get money for a new car.
"Devonte is one of the most joyous and positive people you've ever met!" Vittoria and Kayzen wrote on the GoFundMe. "He always greets us with the biggest smile.

Inspired by the effortless way humans handle objects without seeing them, a team led by engineers at the University of California San Diego has developed a new approach that enables a robotic hand to rotate（旋转）objects solely through touch, without relying on vision.
Using their technique, the researchers built a robotic hand that can smoothly rotate a wide variety of objects, from small toys, cans to even fruits and vegetables, without bruising or damaging them. The robotic hand acplished these tasks using only information based on touch. The work could aid in the development of robots that can manipulate objects in the dark.
To build their system, the researchers attached 16 touch sensors to the palm and fingers of a fourfingered robotic hand. Each sensor costs about $12 and serves a simple function: detect whether an object is touching it or not.
What makes this approach unique is that it relies on many lowcost touch sensors that use simple, binary（二进制的）signals—touch or no touch—to perform robotic inhand rotation. These sensors are spread over a large area of the robotic hand. This contrasts with a variety of other approaches that rely on a few highcost touch sensors affixed to a small area of the robotic hand, primarily at the fingertips.
The researchers then tested their system on the reallife robotic hand with objects that the system has not yet
encountered. The robotic hand was able to rotate a variety of objects without stalling or losing its hold. The objects included a tomato, pepper, a can of peanut butter and a toy rubber duck, which was the most challenging object due to its shape.
The researchers are now working on extending their approach to more plex manipulation tasks. They are currently developing techniques to enable robotic hands to catch, throw and juggle, for example. "If we can give robots this skill, that will open the door to the kinds of tasks they can perform," said one of the researchers.
28. What does the underlined word "manipulate" probably mean?
A. Remove.
B. Control.
C. Recognize.
D. Distribute.
29. What can we know about the touch sensors of the robotic hand?
A. They are quite expensive.
B. They are mainly in its fingertips.
C. They perform plex tasks.
D. They cover most of its area.
30. Why is the toy rubber duck difficult for a robotic hand to rotate?
A. It's never been seen by robots.
B. It has an unusual shape.
C. It has a unique smell.
D. It can damage robots.
31. What are researchers probably focusing on at present?
A. Upgrading robotic hand skills.
B. Diversifying robotic hand shapes.
C. Developing more new research tasks.
D. Seeking new ways to develop robots.

A new museum in Mexico aims to educate the public about the critically endangered salamander（蝾螈）. The museum recently opened at Chapultepec Zoo in Mexico City.
The salamander is native only to Mexico. The animal is extremely endangered in the wild because its natural environment is increasingly threatened. The salamander has captured wide attention for its ability to heal itself when its body gets harmed. For example, the animal can regrow legs and damaged tissue. It can even repair problems affecting the heart and brain. Scientists have also documented how the salamander can breathe with lungs and gills. It can also take in oxygen through its skin. This can cause problems if the animal es in contact with polluted water.
"They are one of the few animals that can regenerate their skin, muscles, bones, blood vessels, nerves, heart and brain," said Gual, a conservation official at the zoo. Speaking about the museum, Gual said he sees it as a valuable tool to inform citizens about the unusual creature. "A hugely important part of this space is environmental education," he said.
In the past, salamanders did very well in Xochimilco's muddy canals. The canals are the only remaining part of a once large waterway system dating back to Aztec times. But studies have shown the spread of cities, polluted water and nonnative fish that eat the salamanders have led to their neartotal collapse.
As the museum opened to its first visitors, the salamander's popularity with the public was very clear. "The truth is I'm very, very, very, very excited to be able to see how they eat, how they live, just how they are, "said one visitor named Fernando. The man, who did not want to give his last name, showed off a small salamander tattoo he had on his arm. "I'm marked for life," he said.
32. What makes salamanders gain considerable attention?
A. Their ability to cure themselves.
B. Their being in extreme danger in the wild.
C. Their ability to breathe with all organs.
D. Their serious habitat loss.
33. What can we know about salamanders in paragraph 4?
A. Their previous condition.
B. Their favorite habitats.
C. Reasons for their being endangered.
D. Their advantages over other animals.
34. What's Fernando's attitude towards visiting the new museum?
A. Confused.
B. Delighted.
C. Worried.
D. Curious.
35. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. A New Museum in Mexico Is Open to Animal Lovers
B. More and More Wildlife Is Endangered in Mexico
C. Endangered Animals Should Be Protected in the Museum
D. A Museum Aims to Help Save Endangered Salamanders

It was the first day of our new grade. Everyone in the classroom was chatting happily, excited to see each other again after the long holiday. When the door slid open, all of us stopped talking and turned to look. In came our teacher Ms. Sullivan followed by an ordinarylooking boy.
"This is Rafael," Ms. Sullivan announced. "He is a transfer student（转校生）, and he's going to be in our class starting from today. Make sure all of you wele him warmly."
The class clapped. But I didn't want to have a second look at the newer, for he had no outstanding qualities considering his small figure and casual Tshirt.
"Oh, I forgot to mention one thing," Ms. Sullivan spoke up. "Rafael actually has hearing problems. Normally he would have hearing aids on, but his old ones have just been broken. His doctor suggested that he stay at home until he got his new ones. However, Rafael insisted on attending his first day of school. So if you want to municate with him,
you have to write it on a piece of paper."
The single speech sent the whole class up into an uproar（嘈杂）. Some students looked at each other with expressions of surprise. Others voiced cries of concern out of pity.
Ms. Sullivan calmed everyone down. "I'd like someone to personally help him out throughout the day. Do I have any volunteers? "
"How can a disabled person be intelligent?" I thought to myself. I refused to raise my hand, expecting someone else would. But nobody did or said anything. Dead silence spread across the classroom.
It was by total bad luck that my eyes happened to meet Ms. Sullivan's.
"How about you, James?" she asked me. "Is it okay for you to take care of Rafael just for today?"
It is difficult to refuse a request by someone especially if that person is a teacher. I sighed and nodded slightly. Ms. Sullivan gestured for Rafael to sit beside me and then asked us to share our holiday stories with the class.

而且后面句子中的"They will also give”就是指代D 项的主语“Courses in fashion design”。

故选D 项。

39. F. 根据前文中的"so it is important to choose one that is right for you"可知, 本段介绍了有关选择时尚设计课程方面的建议; 故选F项“同时重要的是要选择修有经验的时尚设计师教的课程”。

后面一句的补充解释也证明了F项符合语境。

40. G. 根据前面的"taking a course in fashion design is a great way to do this"可知, 此处介绍上时尚设计课的好处。

因此, 最后一句作为总结应该选G 项“选上时尚设计课会带来很多的乐趣, 同时学习期间还能结交一些好朋友”。

住在一个小山村的Zhang Yuan是个努力的小伙, 他通过观察和探索自然
（蝴蝶）, 了解到只有顺其自然, 放下烦恼, 享受当下, 才能过上无忧无虑、心满意足的生活。

41. B。

根据全文主题可知, 作者是想了解和探索（explore）自然的本质, 其他选项不符合语境。

42. A. 根据语境可知, 此时Zhang在观察蝴蝶的飞行情况, dancing描画了蝴蝶在享受自然的快乐。

其他选项明显不符合语境。

43. B. 根据下文"it didn't seem to 45 to achieve anything, simply enjoying the beauty of the moment"可知, 此时的蝴蝶似乎与世无“争（struggle）”, 只享受当下之美, effortlessly“不费力地, 轻松地, 轻盈地”符合语境。

secretly“秘密地; 背地里”; cautiously“谨慎地”; frequently“频繁地”; 都不符合语境。

44. D。

根据上下文可知, Zhang意识到了（realized）此时蝴蝶与周围的世界完全融为一体, 与世无争, 只享受当下。

45. A. 根据此句"simply enjoying the beauty of the moment（只享受当下之美）”可知, 此时的蝴蝶与世无“争（struggle）”。

其他选项不符合语境。

46. B. Zhang此时明白了“蝴蝶之所以能保持内心宁静, 是因为它能做到顺其自然”, 这里的allow意思是“使能够（发生）"的意思（If one thing allows another thing to happen, the first thing creates the opportunity for the second thing to happen. ）。

force “强迫”; require “要求”; advise“建议”; 都不符合语境。

47. C. 根据上下文可知, 此时Zhang把培养内心的宁静作为自己的使命（mission）, hobby "爱好”; profession "职业”; honor “荣耀”; 显然都不符合语境。

48. D. 根据上下文可知, Zhang花数个小时冥想, 放下（letting go of）所有的忧虑。

make up for “弥补"; look down on“瞧不起”; put up with “忍受”; 都不符合语境。

49. A. 根据上下文可知, 这个词与long并列, 后面的一句话的转折词But很重要, 从后面的内容不难推出, 通向宁静之路漫长而“艰难（difficult）”。

50. D. 根据上下文逻辑可知, Zhang知道通向宁静之路漫长而艰难, 但他决心继续前行（continue）, 其他选项都不符合语境。

51. B。

根据上文"he made up his mind to_50on this path", 不难推出答案。

有了耐心和决心（determination）,
他也可以像蝴蝶那样能体验顺其自然之美。

confidence “信心”; honesty “诚实”; gratitude “感激”; 显然都不符合语境。

52. C。

根据语境可知, 随着Zhang继续修行“practice”, 他开始明白人生太短, 没有时间去担忧那些不能控制（beyond control）的事情, 而每个人都应该珍惜（treasure）自己所拥有的。

其他选项不符合语境。

53. C. 参见上题解析。

beyond belief “难以置信”; beyond description “无法描述”; beyond recognition “难以辨认”; 显然都不符合语境。

54. D, treasure“珍藏; 珍惜”。

根据上下文可知, 每个人都应该珍惜（treasure）自己所拥有的。

accept“接受”; keep“保持”; abandon“放弃; 沉湎于”; 显然都不符合语境。

55. D. 根据语境, Zhang有了这种新的了解, 从而他就能够（able）在生活的每时每刻中找到宁静和满足。
