21、   My father died when I was nine, and I remember doing the household chores(杂务)to help my mother. I hated changing the vacuum cleaner(真空吸尘器)bag and picking up things the machine did not suck up.

Twenty years later, in 1978, I was doing chores at home alongside my wife. One day the vacuum cleaner was screaming away, and I had to empty the bag because I could not find a replacement for it. With this lifelong hatred of the way the machine worked. I decided to make a bagless vacuum cleaner.

Easier said than done, of course. I didn't realize that I would spend the next five years perfecting my design, a process that resulted in 5,127 different prototypes(设计原型). By the time I made my 15th prototype, my third child was born. By 2,627, my wife and I were really counting our pennies. By 3,727, my wife was giving art lessons for some extra cash, and we were getting further and further into debt. These were tough times, but each failure brought me closer to solving the problem.

I just had a passion for the vacuum cleaner as a product, but I never thought of going into a business with it. In the early 1980s, I started trying to get licensing agreements for my technology. The reality was very different, however. The major vacuum makers had built a business model based on the profits from bags and filters(滤网).

No one would license my idea, not because it was a bad one, but because it was bad for business.

That gave me the courage to keep going. Then, in 1993, when my bank manager personally persuaded Lloyds Bank to lend me $1 million, I was able to go into production. Within two years, the Dyson vacuum cleaner became a best-seller in Britain.

Today, I still embrace risk and the potential for failure as part of the process. Nothing beats the excitement of invention. Go out and brainstorm your ideas. You are not bound to any rules—in fact, the stranger and riskier your idea, the better.

【1】Why did James Dyson decide to make a bagless vacuum cleaner?

A.Because he lost his father at an early age.

B.Because he didn't like to do household chores.

C.Because he could find a replacement for the old cleaner

D.Because he didn't like how the old vacuum cleaner worked.

【2】What can we learn from paragraph 3?

A.Dyson found the design of the cleaner easier than expected.

B.Dyson was in financial difficulties while designing his cleaner.

C.Dyson's wife had to give art lessons to make money for five years.

D.Dyson was discouraged by the tough times in designing his cleaner.

【3】What happened to Dyson's design of vacuum cleaner?

A.It went into production immediately.

B.It got a licensing agreement very quickly

C.It had the same business model like others.

D.It was not accepted by major vacuum makers.

【4】What is the purpose of the text?

A.To compare two types of vacuum cleaners.

B.To persuade people to buy a Dyson vacuum cleaners.

C.To encourage people to face risks and failures bravely.

D.To introduce the reader to the life story of James Dyson.

23、Postmates, an American delivery company, has built a robot, called Serve, which was designed to make short-distance deliveries in cities.

To know what's going on, Serve has a laser radar （激光雷达）sensor on top, in which spinning lasers let it detect objects around it and know how far away they are. Also, behind each artificial eye is a camera, with six more imaging devices spread around the robot. Inside it is another sensor that allows Postmates to know if there is a package in there.

“One of our key decisions early on was to rely heavily on the robot’s ability to see the environment,” says Ali Kashani, the vice president for robotics at Postmates. Since the sidewalk is “a very chaotic environment”，he points out, the robot needs to be able to take it all in and figure out what to do. This robot, and many like it, also must be able to signal their intentions to the pedestrians. For that，it has a number of approaches. One is using its eyes; another is a colorful light ring that goes around the top. “When it wants to make way for a pedestrian, it will use its eyes and look down，” he explains. It can also use the lights on the top as a turn signal，which is obvious, and also look left and right when it’s turning left and right.

Using eye movements and other silent signals is a good idea，” says Aaron Steinfeld, a professor on human-robot interaction （互动）.Serve is intended for sidewalks * and Steinfeld says that environment is challenging. People usually walk fast while staring at a smartphone. For a robot，that’s a lot. “We have active research on robot moving socially around walking people,” he says. “And it，s really tricky to do this well. ”

Postmates plans to use Serve in Los Angeles at first, and that its intended task is to move small objects over short distances”. The robot can travel 30 miles on one charge and is able to carry 50 pounds.

【1】What was Serve designed for?

A．Object detection.

B．Package transportation.

C．Environment protection.

D．Short-distance communication.

【2】What is challenging to Serve?

A．Moving objects.

B．Sending silent signals.

C．Sidewalk environment.

D．Pedestrian recognition.

【3】What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 3 refer to?

A．Calling other robots.

B．Signaling to the people nearby.

C．Making way for the pedestrians.

D．Turning on the colorful light ring.

【4】What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?

A．To introduce a new robot.

B．To explain human-robot interaction.

C．To present different opinions on hi-tech.

D．To advertise an American delivery company.

24、Students at an elementary school in California, with the help of their art teacher, created a telephone hotline that people can call to get cheerful advice from kids during difficult times. Shortly afterwards, the hotline began getting thousands of calls an hour.

The hotline is available in English and Spanish. It offers the happy voices of children of different ages sharing positive messages. For example, by pressing 1, you can hear a group of kindergartners saying together, “You can do it! Keep trying, and don’t give up!” Pressing 2 brings the sounds of children laughing-a sound certain to bring a smile to anyone’s face.

Jessica Martin, who teaches art at West Side School in Healdsburg, California, thought her students just might have the magic words needed to bring calm to people in difficult times. Ms. Martin worked with students at West Side on a project they called “PepToc”. Actually, they called it “Pep Talk” first. But when Ms. Martin’s 6-year-old son drew an ad for the hotline and spelled it “PepToc”, they decided they liked that even better.

Most of the project was completed in a day. Ms. Martin worked with students from kindergarten to the sixth grade. She had the same basic question for all the students-What could you say to help or encourage someone else? Students working on the hotline thought of what they would like to say. When they were ready, Ms. Martin recorded each one. Later, she sorted out the recordings into the different parts of the telephone hotline.

Ms. Martin thought the project would only attract interest from people near the school. But the hotline was soon getting hundreds of calls a day-and then, thousands of calls an hour. It’s become unbelievably popular with stressed adults, patients in hospitals, older people in homes, and others who just want to hear the happy voices of children.

【1】What does the text say about the hotline?

A．It is answered by teachers.

26、请阅读下面一篇短文，并按照要求用英语写一篇 150 词左右的文章。

In China, there’s growing awareness of people living with HIV/AIDS, and their right to receive respect and dignity. CCTV reporter Han Bin brings us one man’s story of how he lost three jobs due to his HIV-positive status.

34-year-old Ma Zhifa found out he was HIV-positive two years ago, since when his whole life has changed. He lost everything: job, income, marriage and confidence to live.

Ma Zhifa hopes society can find enough tolerance to give him a chance to work. Now his only support come from his daughter, who’s been taken away by her mother. And without an income, he can’t provide for his child.

The official number of HIV/AIDS patients in China is around one million, less than one percent of the population. But across the country, discrimination is common in medical treatment, the workplace and at school.

Ma Zhifa is determined to live a positive life. He hopes his openness may help start better treatment for others with similar experiences of discrimination.

When China released legislation that outlaws (宣告非法) discrimination against people with HIV/AIDS in 2004, it showed the determination of the government to remove the stigma (耻辱). Six years later, discrimination against people with HIV/AIDS was still widespread. Still, many believe that legal protection should be the base line for protecting those with HIV/AIDS, and should not give way to social prejudice.
