21、These destinations march to the beat of their own drum. So put on your dancing shoes and head to these sweet-sounding cities.

New Orleans

In the 19th century, slaves gathered on Sundays to play drums, dance, and sing in Congo Square. Those lively rhythms of Africa ran head on with the sounds of Europe to create jazz, a typical American art form that has inspired generations of Americans and spread around the globe. But this isn’t suit-wearing, head-nodding, polite jazz. New Orleans jazz sweeps you off your feet and makes you jump and clap and sing along.

Chicago

Large numbers of African Americans left the South in search of better opportunities during 1916~1970 and Chicago attracted scores of these people, who brought with them the sound of the Mississippi River. Here, it changed into something sad and symphonic: blues. Blues was not born in Chicago, but it was here that it found a new voice and began to spread its message around the world.

Memphis

Memphis is the birthplace of rock and roll. It was here in Sun Studios in the summer of 1951 that Ike Turner and his band the Delta Cats recorded “Rocket 88”, widely regarded as the first rock and roll song. But, like so many great things, it happened by accident the guitarist’s loudspeaker broke down during the recording, creating a unique guitar sound that would become a hallmark of the music.   People didn’t know how to classify it, but they knew they loved it. The rest is history.

New York City

New York is one of the world’s greatest cities where you can listen to all kinds of music. But to experience a true New York state of mind, you have to leave the shiny towers and Broadway shows of Manhattan and head to Harlem, the Bronx, Brooklyn, and Queens to explore the city’s hip-hop history.

22、Perhaps drawing inspiration from Spiderman, beachgoers in China' s eastern city of Qingdao have come up with a new way of protecting their skin from the sun. They call it the "face-kini". It was first sported by middle-aged women as a practical addition to their swimsuits, but now the face-kini has gone global.

New York-based style magazine CR Fashion Book, founded by former Vogue Paris editor Carine Roitfeld, recently published a photo shoot of models with pouting(撅起的) red lips, wearing face-kinis, chic swimsuits and fancy jewellery .

The transformation of what' s considered the symbol of "old woman style" in China to high fashion has amused Internet users. In two days, the subject was widely spread on the Chinese Twitter, Weibo.

"Chinese old women are at the centre of the global fashion world," said one comment. "It looks like bank robbers attacking the beach," others joked.

When it comes to avoiding the sun, it seems Chinese creativity is unlimited. Apart from the face-kini, the Chinese use special UV-blocking sun umbrellas which can be attached to bike handles.

There are also sun- blocking removable sleeves and Batman- style capes. The list goes on. On Chinese television, commercials for magic whitening creams are everywhere. White is seen as beautiful here, or as the old Chinese saying goes: "One touch of white covers 100 kinds of ugliness."

It' s a curious contrast to the fact that people in many western countries pay for tanning(晒黑).

Tanning salons are just now starting to take off in big Chinese cities, where western influences are deeper.

Liu Yupu, or "China tanning boss" as he goes by on Weibo, took the sudden popularity of face- kinis with a pinch of salt. He said: "These days, if you had just been to a tanning salon in China. Your parents and close friends may call you an idiot, but you'll also get plenty of praise." But can a beautifully-tanned woman turn as many heads as the face-kini on the Qingdao beach?

【1】 The "face-kini" has been worn in Qingdao -   '

A. for quite a long time

B. first by beachgoers

C. to prevent swimmers drowning

D. in honor of the movie Spiderman

【2】According to the passage, the new invention "face-kini" is now considered as____.

A. whitening cream B. an old woman style

C. a beautiful swimsuit   D. high fashion

【3】What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph imply?

A. Tanning is more popular in Western countries.

B. White is seen as more beautiful in China

C. The face-kini books less cool than a beautifully-tanned woman

D. Tanning will not get. popular in China

【4】Which of the following is the best title for the text?

A. Keeping your skin. Fair

B. The changing fashion in Qingdao

C. Protecting  fair skin with "face-kini"

D. New attitudes towards beauty

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、ESSEX — Sorrowful families in Vietnam are struggling to bring home the bodies of loved ones who died in a refrigerated truck while trying to illegally enter the United Kingdom on Oct 23. Many of the relatives of the 39 people who died in the freezing, airless vehicle are too poor to bring the bodies back to Vietnam.

Bui Huy Cuong, chairman of the people’s committee told the Guardian Newspaper that officials have visited bereaved (新近丧失亲人的) families to encourage them to receive ashes, instead of bodies, because it would be cheaper. But he said families want bodies so they can be honored in traditional funerals and are hoping the authorities will pay. “At the moment, we are not sure if the British or the Vietnamese government will take responsibility for bringing victims back to Vietnam,” he said. “Families know nothing about it. It should be clear soon which government (if any) will take responsibility …how much can British and Vietnamese governments pay, and how much will Vietnamese families need to contribute.”

The brother of 26-year-old Pham Thi Tra My told the paper his family does not want ashes. Pham Manh Cuong said, “My family wishes to bring my sister’s body back home because we all agree we want to see her for the last time.” Pham Thi Tra My was the victim who came to prominence when her final text home was made public in which she said, “Sorry, Mum. My journey abroad has not succeeded. I love you so much! I’m dying because I can’t breathe.”

Nguyen Dinh Gia, the father of another victim, Nguyen Dinh Luong, from Nghe An province, said his family also wants a body. “They did not tell me how much the transport fee is, but told us it’s costly.” he said. “We are asking for help from two governments ... We’ve had to wait for many days now and are falling into depression.”

The Vietnamese government has not commented on the repatriations (调回本国). Police in the UK and in Vietnam have made several arrests in connection with the incident that claimed the lives of 31 male and 8 female victims, of whom 10 were teenagers.

【1】What does Bui Huy Cuong mainly want to express in Paragraph 2?

A．How officials care about the bereaved families.

B．Some authorities encourage families to receive ashes.

C．How money will be raised to bring the victims back to Vietnam.

D．Families want bodies so they can be honored in traditional funerals.

【2】What is the possible meaning of the underlined word “prominence” in Paragraph 3?

A．Being likely to cause harm.

B．The state of being noticeable.

C．The quality of being pleasant or attractive.

D．Behavior acquired through frequent repetition.

【3】We know about Nguyen Dinh Luong from the news report?

A．His brother is Pham Manh Cuong.

B．He is from Nghe An province, Vietnam.

C．His family will fly to England to see his body.

D．His body will soon be brought back to Vietnam.
