Last Friday, we held our five discussion about what to present in our annual school art festival. And we decide to invite an elderly man fond of playing the erhu near our school join us. His music was very beauty but couldn’t get any attention from the rush-hour passer-by. The big day finally arrived where our festival took place. As a special guest played, all of us were lost in his music. After his performance, we rose to applaud hardly.
From this experience, I learned about that, to people like them, what really matters is not sympathy but more attention and appreciation, which will brighten their life.

六、阅读理解
13. Y our next Saturday night takeaway could be brought to you by a robot after a major food delivery company announced plans to use
automated vehicles to transport meals. Europe’s biggest online takeaway food company Just Eat has partnered with Starship Technologies to deliver food with robots on the streets of London later this month. “Nobody has ever done deliveries with land-based robots,” said Allan Martinson, the chief operating officer of Starship.
The robot courier can travel up to 4 miles per hour for about 10 miles. It uses a GPS signal and nine cameras to navigate (确定方向). Instead of
a person arriving at their door, customers could find themselves receiving a notification on their phone that says a robot is on its way and a code to
unlock the automated courier. “Put the code in, the robot opens up, and there’s your food,” said David Buttress, chief manager of Just Eat.
The robot, which has so far been tested in Greenwich, Milton Keynes and Glastonbury, costs £ 1 to transport within 3 miles, compared with the £3 to £6 it costs for a human courier. To date 30 robots have driven nearly 5,000 miles without getting into an accident or finding themselves picked on by passers-by. They have driven in more than 40 cities around the world, including London and Tallinn, Estonia.
An initial worry was how the public would react to robots. But Martinson said the public has been calm when passing the delivery machine on the streets. “The most surprising reaction has been the lack of reaction,” said Martinson.
Another significant fear was that people would disrupt (扰乱) the robots, or try to steal them and their contents. To prevent this, the robot is fitted with nine cameras, two way audio, and movement sensors that send a warning if it is lifted off the ground. And it opens only with a passcode provided to the customer via a notification. “It’s much easier to shoplift than it is to steal a robot,” said Martinson.
1. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “courier” in Paragraph 2?
A．deliverer B．collector
C．provider D．guide
2. According to the text, the Starship robot ________.
A．opens up upon hearing the code
B．travels 10 miles per hour at most
C．finds its way by means of GPS and cameras
D．sends a message to the customer upon arrival
3. The test of Starship robots shows that ________.
A．they are easy to operate
B．the robot delivery is appreciated in big cities
C．the robot delivery is cheaper than human delivery
D．they can travel for 10 hours continuously
4. Which of the following is one of the worries about Starship robots?
A．Safety of the robot delivery.
B．Accuracy of the robot delivery
C．Peoples indifference to the robots.
D．People’s concern about public traffic.
5. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?
A．Great Improvement of Just Eat
B．Global Trend of Food Companies
C．New Robots to Move on the road
D．Delivery Robots to Replace Takeaway Drivers
14. Microsoft has developed a new smartphone app that interprets eye signals and translates them into letters, allowing people with motor neuron（运动神经元）disease to communicate with others from a phone.
The GazeSpeak app combines a smartphone’s camera with artificial intelligence to recognize eye movements in real time and change them into letters, words and sentences.
For people suffering from ALS（渐冻症）, also known as motor neuron disease, eye movement can be the only way they are able to communicate.
“Current eye-tracking input systems for people with ALS or other motor problems are expensive, not strong under sunlight, and require frequent re-calibration(校对) and abundant, relatively immobile setups,” said Xiaoyi Zhang, a researcher at Microsoft who developed the technology. “To change the situation…we created GazeSpeak, an eye-gesture communication system that runs on a smartphone.”
The app is used by the listener by pointing their smartphone at the speaker. A chart that can be stuck to the back of the smartphone is then used by the speaker to determine which eye movements to make in order to communicate.
The sticker shows four grids(格) of letters, which each match a different eye movement. By looking up, down, left or right, the speaker selects which grids the letters they want belong to. The artificial intelligence algorithm is then able to predict the word or sentence they are trying to say.
1. Which is necessary to install GazeSpeak for use according to the passage?
A．a smartphone with a camera.
B．a smartphone with re-calibration system.
C．a smartphone with a sticker on the back.
D．a smartphone connected with other setups.
2. Compared with the disadvantages current input system for ALS sufferers have, GazeSpeak will be_________.
A．low-cost, strong in system, easy to take with users
B．affordable, lightweight, environmentally friendly
C．easy to operate, movable, able to check itself
D．available under strong light, rich in resources, inexpensive
3. The most possible design of the grids will be________.
A．B．
C．D．
4. What’s the purpose of writing the passage?
A．To advertise a new app.B．To call for attention to ALS sufferers.
C．To share the information of an.app.D．To show respect to the programmer of the app.

视频助理裁判技术已经成为当今足球比赛的一部分，但是也备受质疑：它是否让比赛变得更精彩，或者是否让精彩的比赛变得更加复杂了呢？
15. While the teams of the FIFA World Cup 2022 in Qatar competed in the fields, it was worth noting that it was not only soccer that caught the world’s attention, but also the video assistant referee (VAR) technology. Like it or dislike it, the VAR is a part of football games today.
Many football fans question whether the system made the game better or if it added an unnecessary layer of complexity to the beautiful game as a number of debatable decisions were made involving the V AR — it slows down the game; the offside law sometimes becomes rigid. The introduction of the V AR means top-level football games are now easily affected by stoppages and delays with the on-field referee often waiting for decisions to be made by those in offices often far away from the stadiums.
Actually, the use of video match officials in football was included in the 2018/2019 edition of the Laws of the Game and was already used at the
2018 FIFA World Cup. Since then, the system has been applied in over 100 competitions worldwide.
Despite criticisms, FIFA considered the first use of the V AR to be a triumph, with referee committee head Pierluigi Collina claiming that 99.3 percent of “match-changing” decisions were called correctly at the World Cup—“very, very close to perfection”. Without the V AR, referees called 95 percent of the incidents correctly.
Not only football, sports tech to support a referee’s decision-making is widely adopted by other major sports in professional and Olympic games to assist referees to make the correct decisions. Tennis employs the Hawk-Eye Live system on competition courts, and the NBA has long used instant replay and other high-tech aids to make sure players are shooting within the time given by the shot clock in order for the referees to make the right call.
We should admit that sports tech is still not perfect in the field of sports events. People’s feelings are not towards those technologies themselves, but the current shortcomings of the application of the technology. However, fairness and consistency should not be a zero-sum option. Efforts should be made to further improve efficiency and reduce disturbance to beautiful games.
1. Why do many football fans question the VAR technology?
A．It sometimes becomes rigid.
B．It makes competitions unappealing.
C．It is easily affected by on-field referees.
D．It leads to many arguable decisions.
2. What does the underlined word “triumph” mean in paragraph 4?
A．Beginning.B．Success.
C．Symbol.D．Tendency.
3. Why are tennis and the NBA mentioned in paragraph 5?
A．To prove the diversity of sports tech.
B．To introduce the benefits of sports tech.
C．To show sports tech’s wide application.
D．To explain the development of sports tech.
4. What’s the author’s attitude toward sports tech?
A．Opposed.B．Objective.
C．Favorable.D．Doubtful.

文章针对当下普遍存在的WiFi容易断连的问题给出了一些解决方法。

17. Whether you’re in the final research stages of a major paper, or on a Zoom (a calling app) call for work, a dropped WiFi connection at zero
hour is something annoying. 1 One of the most common reasons it happens is that too many devices are connected.
2 Now, with smartphones, iPads, smart TVs and so much more, it doesn’t take long for WiFi to hop aboard the struggle bus. Actually, even
if a connected device isn’t actively sending or receiving data, it will still consume some of the available bandwidth. It means that if you have many devices connected, you can start to see slowdowns or drops in your WiFi connection. 3
The first and easiest fix is to disconnect unused devices from your WiFi. The easiest way to do this is to simply change your WiFi password, which will kick everyone off. Then, you can allow only certain devices to rejoin. 4 It is workable to stop gaming or downloading a movie.
5 First, run a speed test to check your current speed. (Google “speed test” to see a list of websites where you can do this.) Y ou may have
too many devices connected for the internet speed you’re paying for. If this is the case, contact your internet provider about upgrading to a higher speed. But you may want to try some of our other fixes first before spending the money.
A．What can you do about it?
B．Sometimes that’s all that’s required.
C．Finally, you may need to upgrade your connectivity.
D．People deal with this modern inconvenience all the time,
E．Cutting back on heavy WiFi use temporarily can also help.
F．In general, this is a very good solution to a dropped WiFi connection.
G．Back in the day, the average household had a computer or two to connect.
