When I was young, my parents observed that I was unlikely to be prevented from doing whatever I wanted to do. They were right.

I was the final child. My folks were old. They kindly described me as "a handful " and went about educating me, but they made no attempt to limit my imagination. As a result, I kept company with more than 40 fully employed stuffed animals. I called them The Guys.

The reason for that was, except for one neglected hand-me-down, Mrs. Teddy Bear, they were all guys. After all, girls didn’t do anything interesting. Funkhauser the dog ran a grocery store, Bugle the horse did light transportation, and Gronk the dragon was an accomplished poet. Mrs. Teddy Bear was Mr.Teddy Bears wife, and that was it.

Back then, I had no idea what I wanted to do. The choices were thin. Mostly, I didn't think about it.The future was likely to show up whether I planned for it or not. But due to the women’s liberation movement, suddenly a world of possibility opened up, but we were still expected to cook the beans and rice. By the time I graduated from college with a science degree, no one in my group thought being a wife was a career. Or even a likelihood. Marriage was a trap.

I worked in a lab. And one day, after seeing a notice in the paper, I remembered there was something.I'd wanted to do, once. It sounded like fun. I became one of perhaps a dozen female carriers in the whole city of Portland, Oregon.

If I'd been a different sort of person-and not"a handful"-I might have worried Id disappoint my dad, who paid for my science education. But he was all on board. He valued education for its own sake,and was a mathematician who'd always wished he worked in a fire tower in the woods.

Thirty-two years later I retired into a very different world. Being a retired mail carrier is even more fun than being a mail carrier. And finally, I get to be a writer.

It's still not really a job.

24. Why did the writer call her stuffed animals The Guys?

A. Girls found nothing really interesting

B. The fellows had a fun job like men

C. Women didn't do valuable things

D. All guys could be employed at a company.

25. What belief did the writer have when graduating from college?

A. Taking cooking as a good career.

B. Avoiding a trap in marriage.

C. Never being a housewife,

D. Letting nature take its course.

26.What is the writer’s dads attitude to her choice as a mail carrier?

A. Doubtful    B. Disapproving

C. Ambiguous   D. Supportive

27. What did the writer want to tell us in her story?

A. Choose a job as you like.

B. Work heart and soul

C. Judge a person by his work.

D. Enjoy a notable job positively

C

In Frank Schatzing's 2004 sci-fi novel The Swarm, sea life develops a collective (集体的)mind of its own. Whales band together to attack ships, while groups of jellyfish swallow the shores. It's as if ocean creatures decided to jointly fight humanity, to try to get back their environment.

Scientists say this scene isn’t made up. Animals do move in groups governed by the collective. Think of a flock of birds, a line of ants, a group of fish -all crowds like those imagined by Schatzing, if not quite as deadly. "Animals regulate these vast collective structures without any leadership, without any individual animal knowing the whole state of the system, “says Nicholas Ouellette, an engineer. "And yet it works fantastically well.”

Deborah Gordon, a biologist, studies how ants make collective decisions, such as when and where to hunt for food. A red harvester settlement typically has some hunters waiting in the nest while others hunt out. Studying these ants in New Mexico, Gordon showed that they leave the nest at a rate determined by how often hunters return with food. The more food available, the more often hunters return to the nest;this starts more ants leaving the nest. But if little food is available, the process throttles down.

Working with computer scientist Balaji Prabhakar, Gordon found that information flowing among the ants was similar to the way Internet protocols(协议) regulate the rate of data transport depending on how much bandwidth is available. The scientists named this naturally produced algorithm(算法) the“Anternet". The Anternet information seems to help the settlement to search efficiently.

Studies of collective behavior in birds, ants and fish have meanings for humans. Engineers can take lessons from animals that swarm effectively together to build better swarms of small robots.

And understanding how ants collectively adapt to changes in their network, such as when a tree blows down, could help researchers develop flexible rules for robots working in an unfamiliar environment, such as in a burning building. "That’s a lesson for engineering, " Gordon says.

28. Why does the writer describe the scene of The Swarm?

A. To warn people of the danger of marine life.

B. To stress the effect of animal group behaviors.

C. To recommend the sci-fi novel to the readers

D. To prove humans damage to the environment.

29. What does the underlined phrase"throttles down"mean in paragraph 3?

A. Goes down.   B. Breaks down

C. Slows down   D. Sets down

30. What can we know about Anternet?

A. It's a flow of data about ants' information.

B. It's a flexible problem-solving rule.

C. It's a method of ants ' finding way home.

D. It's a net of the distribution of ants’  food.

31. What might be the best title for the text?

A. Understanding the various behaviors of animals

B. Adapting to the change of the animals' habitats

C. Observing nature for interesting engineering.

D. Learning from the collective wisdom of animals

D

People rarely use just one sense to understand the world, but robots usually only rely on vision and increasingly, touch. Researchers Pinto and his colleagues find that robot perception could improve clearly by adding another sense: hearing.

In what they say is the first large-scale study of the interactions between sound and robotic action. To perform their study, the researchers created a large dataset, at the same time recording video and audio of 60 common objects -such as toy blocks, hand tools, shoes, apples and tennis balls-as they slid or rolled around a tray(盘子) and crashed into its sides.

The team got these interactions using a tool they called Tilt-bot -a square tray attached to the arm of a Sawyer robot. It was an efficient way to build a large dataset; they could place an object in the tray and let Sawyer spend a few hours moving the tray in random directions with changeable levels of rolling as cameras and microphones recorded each action. They also collected some data beyond the tray, using Sawyer to push objects on a surface.

Other researchers like Oliver Kroemer led research into using sound to estimate the amount of rough materials, such as rice or pasta, by shaking a container, or estimating the flow of those materials from a spoon.

Pinto and his colleagues found the performance rate was quite high, with robots that used sound successfully classifying objects 76 percent of the time and that a robot could use what it learned about the sound of one set of objects to make predictions about the physical properties(性质) of previously unseen objects.

“I think what was really exciting was that when it failed, it would fail on things you expect it to fail on, " he said. For instance, a robot couldn’t use sound to tell the difference between a red block or a green block. "But if it was a different object, such as a block versus a cup, it could figure that out.”

32. What can we infer from the first paragraph?

A. Robots can use five senses like humans

B. Ears are added to robots for better ability

C. Robots use more hearing increasingly.

D. Hearing was not applied by robots.

33. How does Tilt-bot collect information of sound?

A. By putting various objects on a tray.

B. By moving a tray up and down quickly

C. By moving a tray without direction limits.

D. By keeping a tray in a fixed level.

34. What can we learn about the research result by Pinto?

A. Confusing.   B. Disappointing.

C. Encouraging.  D.Entertaining.

35. What can robots use sound to do in Pinto’s study?

A. Judge the features of an unseen object.

B. Distinguish the colors of different objects

C. Calculate the amount of the materials

D. Find previously unseen objects quickly.

Create New Ideas and Boost Creativity

Sometimes it can feel like our creative process is being stifled by the world around us. Here are several ways to encourage your own creative thoughts.

Get your creative juices flowing by doing something you love. If you find that having a bath is the best bit of your week, then turn the taps on and light a candle or two. If you do something you love, you're likely to relax and let the best ideas come to you naturally.  36  . However, it's actually one of the best ways of creating an environment where inspiration and new ideas appear.

Work with someone else to start problem solving. Find creative people who can come up with problem solving solutions or help you come up with novel idea.  37_. As a result, it can in turn encourage creative thought processes and different thinking.

      38  .We all know exercising can help encourage creative ideas-and for good reason. Increasing blood flow to your brain through exercise can help you complete creative tasks by helping to inspire new ideas.

Give yourself psychological distance. Giving yourself psychological distance also gives your brain time to process all the information and ideas youve already had or received. If you’ve been struggling to find inspiration and pushing yourself to get off social media and do your best work, it might be time to get out of the work zone and escape for a while.  39

Push yourself outside of your comfort zone.  40  , for example, working on your creative project somewhere that you don’t usually do, or it can be something huge like going to New York and working with American professionals in your industry.

A. Do some physical activity

B. You can do something small

C. It may get you trapped inside

D. Try not to think about them at all

E. They can inspire you to think differently

F. It will be stressful to be with them together

G. People tend to see self-care as a selfish act

Zoologists have long considered saving the giant panda from the edge of extinction as a conservation success story. For  56   (decade), the panda has been the"poster animal” for all endangered species. It is even on the logo of the World Wildlife Fund. It  57   (remove) from the endangered species list in 2016, although it remains"vulnerable". Many conservationists are now concerned this has come at a cost of other mammals, especially those   58   (share) its habitat.

Researcher Professor Sheng Li, from Peking University praised the efforts to protect the giant panda but said this has come at the expense of some of China's even  59   (large) meat-eating mammals.

60  panda conservation areas were established in  61  1960s, Asian wild dogs have disappeared from95% of areas  62  (protect) by humans, leopards from 81%, wolves from 77%, and snow leopards from 38%. Professor Li said his findings"indicate the shortcoming  63  panda conservation for protecting these meat-eating species".However, he added: "Failing  64   (defend) these large meat-eating species does not remove the power of the giant panda as an umbrella that has   65   (effect)sheltered many other species.”
