One night I rece ived a Facebook message from Laura a former classmate. “Hey Steve,” she said, know you’ve always been an animal lover. I’ve just had a baby and I can’t keep my mini pig.
Being fond of animals, I knew I wanted the pig. I just had to figure out how to make it happen. I lived
in a two-bedroom single-level house in Georgetwon, Ontario. It’s tough to bring a pig back to the house I share with two dogs, two cats, and my lifelong partner.
When I got home with the pig, I But I was not letting that pig go. So I told Laura I’d take the animal.
hid her in the bedroom, and began to prepare a dinner for Alisha —her favourite bacon cheeseburgers. It’s better to make her happy before introducing the new member to her.
When I led her to the bedroom and showed her the surprise, Alisha stood in the doorway like a statue.
It took her a few seconds to know what I had done. She complained about my unreasonable action. She
insisted there was no more room in the house.
I knew I was wrong, but I hoped I could smooth things over. Soon enough, the lovely pig did the
smoothing for me. Never had we felt such joy as she brought to us. We got her a name “Esther Esther’s arrival changed our lives. A few weeks later, we decided to stop eating bacon. We figured it

Who can think of the race between the tortoise and the rabbit when it comes to the greatest races? Sure,
that race only took plac e in ancient Aesop’s mind, but while the great modern races can teach us a lot about commitment, perseverance (毅力) and the virtues of having a rather large engine, “The Tortoise and the Rabbit” may tell us everything about animals and even vehicles on this planet.
In a study published this week, Adrian Bejan, a professor of mechanical engineering, concludes that
no one should be surprised that the tortoise wins over the seemingly speedier rabbit. In fact, after analyzing
the reported speeds of land-air-and-water-based animals, Bejan concludes that the worlds well-known
speedsters are actually among the slowest when their movements are averaged out over the course of a
lifetime.
ases with mass The study builds on Bejan’s previous research showing that an animals speed incre
regardless of species. And that principle can also be extended to non-living things, like aircraft.
After studying data from historical airplane models, Bajan noted the speed of each model increased
ht. What about the modern jet fighter? How is that relatively small
with its size, too. That doesn’t sound rig
craft not faster than a clumsy large transport plane?
Again, Bejan harks back to the tortoise. That transport plane spends lots of time in the air, moving
regularly across long distances. The fighter jet, on the other hand, may fly across the sky occasionally,
but-like the rabbit-it’s often found resting on the ground.
The slow and steady transport plane wins the marathon of life.
than a lesson in perseverance.
But like so many good stories, Aesop’s tale offers even more
At one point, the rabbit asks the tortoise how he expects to win a race at such a slow pace.
The tortoise—ever focused—doesn’t respond But it’s the rabbits own words that provide the moment to reflect on, especially in modem times.
“There is plenty of time to relax,” Until there isn’t.
28. Why is the story “The Tortoise and the Rabbit” mentioned?
A. To warm people not to be proud.
B. To introduce a unique phenomenon.
C. To help put forward the author’s idea.
D. To show the importance of perseverance.
29. What has Bejan proved in his research?
A. Airplanes improve in speed.
B. Speed has nothing to do with size.
C. Speed matters most in the animal world
D. Animals’ speed and mass go hand in hand.
30. What lesson does the author want to teach us?
A. We shouldn’t look down on others
B. We should put our time to good use.
C. Staying focused during races is important.
D. People should often reflect on themselves.
31. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Life is just like a race.
B. Nearly all races are the same
C. Quickness is not all advantage in a race.
D. The slow but steady are always winners.

The long, white robot weighs more than 450 kilograms. Like other robots, it is equipped with cameras
and mechanical arms to automatically perform many different jobs.
Angus is a major part of operations at Alexander’s indoor robot farm. about 40 kilometers south of San Francisco. The 743-square meter farm uses a hydroponic system that grows plants without soil. The
plants grow inside equipment that provides a continuous flow of water. The indoor farm uses electrical light
instead of sunlight.
This kind of farm uses much less water and does not require human labor to run. The main job for
Angus is to move thousands of plants around the farm, from small containers to larger ones as they grow.
Angus also carries plants to another robot that does not have a name yet. Angus moves slowly to complete
its work. But the robot is very strong and can lift about 300 kilograms.
For now, the farm uses humans to collect vegetables and other crops when they are ready. But
Alexander says he is working on a robot that will eventually take over that job too.
Alexander helped start the company Iron Ox after leaving Google, where he worked on robotics at the
company’s Google x project. He teamed up with another former Google employee, Jon Binney. Together
they founded Iron Ox.
Iron Ox’s website says the hydroponic growing system uses 90 percent less water. It also said the
growing method is up to 30 times more productive than growing crops on land.
Alexander said growing food robotically throughout the year in major cities will provide a more
consistent and fresh product. Most of the vegetables sold in the U.S. are grown in California, Arizona,
Mexico and other nations. That means that many people in U.S. cities are eating vegetables that are nearly a
week old by the time they arrive in stores.
Indoor farms operate all year and are not generally affected by bad weather. This will permit the
company to provide a steady flow of goods without major price changes.
32. How does Angus work in the farm?
A. It provides a continuous flow of water for the plants.
B. It directs other robots to work in the farm.
C. It works on collecting vegetables.
D. It is in charge of transferring plants.
33. What do we know about Alexander?
A. He used to work on robotics at Google.
B. He started a company studying robotics with Binney.
C. He works on collecting crops when they are ready.
D. He started Iron Ox by himself.
34. What’s the advantage of Alexander’s farm?
A. The vegetables from this farm sell in higher price.
B. The vegetables from this farm are more nutritious.
C. It uses electrical light instead of sunlight.
D. It uses less water but produces more.
35. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the passage?
A. Robot Farm, the Future of the Agriculture
B. Robot Farm, Aiming to Bring Fresher Food to US Cities
C. Alexander, an Extraordinary Scientist on Robotics
D. Hydroponic System, the New Way of Farming

52.参考例文：
The picture gives us a view of a popular phenomenon: some playwrights and scriptwriters beat their brains
to adapt the classics to cater to the tastes of some readers and viewers. As a result, the traditional characters become so strange and the plots are totally different.
What the picture reflects is thought-provoking. It is so ridiculous that the precious literary treasures
are allowed to be ruined so much. As we all know, classical literature is the representation of the outstanding art of our nation and on no account should we spoil our literary treasures for economic benefit. Moreover, such adaptations may have negative effects on the average audience, especially children, whose outlook on life will be affected.
Therefore, measures should be taken to restrict these sorts of adaptation. For instance, the real classics are supposed to be presented on the bookshelves for appreciation. In addition, readers had better resist those inferior adapta tion. To sum up, it’s joint efforts that count when it comes to the rescue of our traditional cultural treasure.
