26、Anne LaBastille was born in New York City and grew up in New Jersey. Her first experience with the wilderness was in the Adirondacks in the northeast of New York, where she worked at a summer resort (度假胜地) to earn money for college tuition (学费) by caring for the horses, giving riding lessons, and working as a waitress. And she had many chances to begin her adventure in the Adirondack wilderness.

Anne returned to school in the fall, but she continued to spend as much time as she could in the Adirondacks. She grew to love her time alone in the mountains. Anne graduated from college with a bachelor's degree in conservation of natural resources (资源) and began working for the National Audubon Society in Florida as a wildlife tour leader.

Although Anne took great pleasure in showing people the animals living in the Florida Keys and the Everglades National Park, she longed for the mountains in the northern parts of New York. Finally she decided to build a cabin near Black Bear Lake. Over the years, however, more and more tourists began hiking near her cabin. As a result, Anne decided to build another cabin deeper in the woods at Lily Pad Lake.

Anne lived in the woods for most of her life. She enjoyed living alone in the woods, and her life was far too busy for her to be lonely. When she was not writing books, she wrote articles for National Geographic, Reader's Digest, and other magazines. In her later years, Anne conducted research in Guatemala on an endangered bird called the grebe. She also lectured nationwide about ecology. Besides, Anne worked with a number of organizations dedicated to (致力于) conservation.

“Get out of here！” commanded the guards.

Well，the little boy didn’t have to be told twice.He turned...and ran right away.All he wanted to do was to tell the king wonderful things，and see all the beautiful things in the king’s house.But he couldn’t even get near the castle! The boy finally stopped running，sat down and cried.

A young man happened to be coming down the path at the very moment.He saw the little boy and came up.“What’s wrong，young man？” he asked.

“Sir，I walked and walked just to see the king.But these guards made me frightened.I wanted to tell the king how lovely everything is and just tell the king that I just wanted to see him！”

The little boy got up and took the man’s hand.The king’s guards spotted them.

“Look，mister，we don’t have to do this...I don’t want you to get hurt.We can just turn around now.”

28、For many kids, the Internet is at their fingertips. From computers to smartphones, a web of information is open to them. According to a new report from the Pew Research Centre, about three out of four kids aged 12 to 15 connect the Internet using a mobile device from time to time. Many younger kids are online too.

Julian Zeitlinger, 9, from New Jersey, uses his computer to watch videos and play games. To keep him safe online, his parents monitor his web use and discuss Internet safety with him. “I ask my parents if something is wrong.” Julian says. Mobile devices offer more ways than ever to share personal information. The information can be dangerous in the wrong hands. A study found that 62% of children aged 8 to 17 have had an unpleasant online experience.

Have you ever had to enter a parent’s e-mail address when signing up for a website? That safety measure is there because of the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). The law says sites for kids under 13 cannot collect personal information, such as a phone number or full name, without a parent’s permission.

This July, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) will update COPPA for the first time since the law was created in 1998 when there were no smartphones. “The nature of the way kids get online has changed,” FTC lawyer Phyllis Marcus said. When the changes take effect,COPPA will apply to(适用于) mobile devices and newer forms of advertising. It will expand what falls under “personal information” to include videos, photographs and services that give out users’ location.

COPPA doesn’t cover everything that can go wrong online. That’s why kids and parents need to know what to look out for and to stop and think before sharing information online.

“There is a misunderstanding that if a site is following COPPA, it is totally safe,” says privacy expert Shai Samet. He runs KidSAFE, which checks if a site meets KidSAFE standards and is safe. “It’s important that kids know how useful the Internet is but that it can also be dangerous if you are not careful,” he adds.

【1】Julian’s parents check his web use to make sure ________.

A．he doesn’t watch too many videos

B．he doesn’t play computer games

C．he stays safe on the Internet

D．he controls his online time

【2】How does the author explain children’s unpleasant online experiences?

A．By describing his own experiences.

B．By presenting scientific research.

C．By showing differences.

D．By using examples.

【3】People often hold the wrong idea that ________.

A．formal weteites are always safe

B．the Internet is becoming safer and safer

C．COPPA can ensure their complete safety

D．daily checks prevent future online problems

【4】What’s the main purpose of the text?

A．To ask parents to look out for their kids.

B．To tell people to be careful online.

C．To offer tips on online safety.

D．To introduce an online law.

29、Whether in the home or the workplace, social robots are going to become more common in the next few years. Social robots are about to bring technology to the everyday world in a more humanized way, said Cynthia Breazeal, chief scientist at the robot company Jibo.

While household robots today do the normal housework, social robots will be much more like partners than tools. For example, these robots will be able to tell when someone is happy or sad. This allows them to respond more properly to the user.

The Jibo robot, arranged to ship later this year, is designed to be a personalized assistant. You can talk to the robot, ask it questions, and make requests for it to perform different tasks. The robot doesn’t just give general answers to questions; it responds based on what it learns about each person in the household. It can do things such as reminding an elderly family member to take medicine or taking family photos.

Social robots are not just finding their way into the home. They have potential(潜在的) applications in everything from education to health care and are already finding their way into some of these areas.

Fellow Robots is one company bringing social robots to the market. The company’s “Oshbot” robot is built to assist customers in a store, which can help the customers find items and help guide them to the product’s location in the store. It can also speak different languages and make recommendations for different items based on what the customer is shopping for.

The more interaction the robot has with humans, the more it learns. But Oshbot, like other social robots, is not aimed to replace workers, but to work together with other employees. “We have technologies to train social robots to do things not for us, but with us,” said Breazeal.

【1】How are social robots different from household robots?

A. They can control their feelings.

B. They are more like humans.

C. They do the normal housework .

D. They respond to users more slowly.

【2】What can a Jibo robot do according to Paragraph 3?

A. Communicate with you and put on performances.

B. Answer your questions and make requests.

C. Take your family pictures and deliver milk.

D. Obey your orders and remind you to take pills.

【3】We can learn from the last paragraph that social robots will ______.

A. be our workmates

B. train employees

C. improve technologies

D. take the place of workers

【4】The underlined word“recommendations”in Paragraph 5 can be replaced by_______.

A. suggestions   B. commands   C. expressions   D. bargains

32、阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。

At first, Sam didn't see the black smoke or flames shooting from the windows of his neighbors' home. He and his wife were just having a dinner in their own house in Allentown. Pennsylvania, when they heard someone screaming: "The house is on fire!" He went to investigate. That's when he saw two women and a girl crazily at a loss on their porch(走廊). It was his neighbor's house.

"The baby's inside there!" one of the women cried. Though the fire department had been called, Sam, then 64, instinctively(本能地)ran inside. "The baby" was 8-year-old Mary, who always called him Uncle Sam. She was the woman's granddaughter and a playmate of Sam's three youngest kids, 8, 10, and 12. The other two on the porch were Mary's aunt and cousin.

Entering the burning house was like running into "a bucket of black paint". The thick smoke caused Sam to walk blindly around, burned his eyes, and made it impossible for him to breathe. He felt his throat and lungs burned, and every blink stung(蛰)his eyes. The conditions would have been very dangerous for anyone, but for Sam, who has chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(慢性阻塞性肺病)and was in hospital just half a year ago, they were life-risking.

After a few minutes in the smoke-filled house searching but in vain, he ran outside to catch his breath. "Where is Mary?" he asked desperately.

"The second floor." her aunt shouted back.

Sam knew he couldn't hold his breath for long. So he uttered a little prayer: "Well, God, this is it. You got to help me, because I'm not coming out without that little girl."

Taking a deep breath, he went in a second time. The darkness was overwhelming. He ran blindly in the blackness, and finally made it to the second floor, where he was met by intense heat. He was already out of breath. "Baby girl, where are you?" He cried desperately. All he could hear was the popping of burning wood. Then a soft but distinct moan emerged. He quickly crawled toward the sound. Finally, he touched something—a shoe, then an ankle. He pulled Mary toward him and hugged her tightly and said, "Uncle's got you." As soon as he rushed outside, he fainted and fell on the ground.

注意：所续写短文的词数应为80词左右，只写一段；开头语已写好。

Sam woke up in the hospital a couple of days later.
