One day, Anna Du was walking along Castle Island’s beach. She found there were lots of plastic (塑料) pieces in the sea and some were too small to pick up. She began to think about how to solve the problem.
First, she did a survey. The result showed there were already 150 million tons of plastic in the sea, and every year there would be another 8 million tons. She realized something must be done. So she decided to invent a robot that could work underwater. She tried again and again. At last her ROV came out. It could move through water and pick up plastic pieces, especially the small ones.
With this ROV, Ann a Du took part in the Broadcom Masters competition which is one of the top STEM (science, technology, engineering, math) competitions. It’s for young students around the world. This year, more than 5, 000 students were interested in the competition, but only a few got the chance. Ann a Du’s ROV caught a lot of attention. It had a camera with three different kinds of lights which could find plastic pieces easily. Dana Yoerger, an expert, said, “The ROV is nicely done for a12- year- old girl. It’s very clever.”
In fact, Anna Du is always learning to solve the world problems and her parents are always supporting (支持) her. At the age of five, she began to go to workshops to learn engineering skills. When she was asked about her future plan, she said, “I want to be an engineer because I like building things. I think many world problems can be solved with new inventions. Right now, I’m just caring about plastic problems because there is still a long way to go.”
( )26. What is ROV
A. A STEM competition. B. An underwater robot. C. A nicely done camera. D. An excellent program.

( )28. Which is the correct order of the following events
a. Anna Du invented her ROV. b. Anna Du walked along Castle Island’s beach.
c. Anna Du did a survey. d. Anna Du took part in the competition.
A. c-b-a-d B. b-d-c-a C. c-a-d-b D. b-c-a-d
( )29. What did Anna Du mean by saying “there is still a long way to go”
A. There are too many world problems. B. Her ROV will go to further places.

Suppose (料想) you’ re in London and trying to find the bus to take you to Hyde Park. This should be easy. But if you can’t speak the language, it can be a problem. What will you do Here is some advice on how to ask the way in a foreign country.
Know the place you want to go. You can always tell others the name of the place where you want to go. It may be a place of interest, or simply a street. Whatever it is, if you do a little homework to remember the name of it, you can ask the way much more easily.
Take a map or a picture. If you’ re not sure about your pronunciation when asking the way, you’d better take a map or a picture of the place where you want to go. As the old saying goes, “A picture can say a thousand words.”
Use body language. Body language can be helpful in making others understand where you want to go. For example, you can draw the shape of the Eiffel Tower in the air. It gives people an idea of where you are going.
With the advice above, I believe you can find your way. Let’s try!
( )31. What are the pieces of advice about
A. Learning a language. B. Reading a map. C. Using body language. D. Asking the way.

A. B. C. D.
( )34. Why does the writer give an example in Paragraph 4
A. To remind readers to take a picture. B. To compare with other ways of asking ways.
C. To explain how to use body language. D. To show the best way of using body language.
( )35. In· which part of a magazine can you probably read this text
A. Travel. B. Science. C. Geography. D. Language.

The world of science makes our lives easier with technology. One of the most exciting areas is about machines that think like humans. This is an area called artificial intelligence (人工智能, AI).
36 He said, “The development of AI could predict the end of humans.” As Hawking had a serious disease, he needed an AI computer to communicate. The computer learned how Hawking thought and suggested the words he might want to use next. 37
This kind of AI is very useful, but Hawking was worried about the possibility of making machines that can be smarter than humans. 38 Many TV shows and films show some big killer machines that are far cleverer than us. “Humans can’t compete because of their slow biological evolution (进化), and would even be superseded (取代) ,” said Hawking.
39 “I believe we will be in control of the technology for a long time,” said Rollo Carpenter, a scientist from the UK.“ Its ability to solve many of the world problems will be realized.”
40 Should we be hopeful or fearful
根据材料内容，从下面五个选项中选出能填入文中空缺处的最佳选项，使文章意思通顺、内容完整，并将其标号填写在下面题号后的横线上。
A. In which direction do you think AI is heading
B. However, Professor Stephen Hawking, a well- known scientist, had warned us for a long time.
C. This warning came after commenting(评论) on the technology he used to speak with.
D. And it’s easy to imagine how terrible things may be.
E. But not everyone holds the same idea about AI technology.

Changes in people’s life
Hello, everybody! Today I’d like to say something about people’s life in the new time.
People’s everyday life could show the development of society. In the new time, the food on our table becomes richer and more delicious. What’s more, we can spend more time and money on sports, education and entertainment. People like going to the cinema or exercising to relax. Or they can choose some activities to improve themselves. People’s life becomes more colorful.
People’s opinions on reading and traveling have also changed. Reading is another good habit for many people now. It can help us open our eyes. Besides reading, traveling has become a common way to learn about the world. They become necessary for a good life.
We can enjoy our life in many ways these days. Thanks to the government, our life is becoming better and better.
