• 3．If you live in Washington，D.C.，or Redwood，Calif.，you may have noticed a small，boxy robot rolling along a local sidewalk，minding its own business，but attracting the attention of many a curious onlooker.
  The robots，which look like electric rice cookers with wheels，were part of a pilot program last year by Starship Technologies focused on delivering（運送） meals from local restaurants in dozens of cities around the world.
     This week，the company showed plans to broaden its delivery service beyond food to include packages，a move that made it "the world's first robot package delivery service".The package delivery service can only be applied in some cities in the US.
     The wheeled robots have a top speed of 4 mph and can detect barriers（檢測路障） from as far as 30 feet away. "The robot can operate through just about anything，" says Nick Handrick，head of operations for Starship's D.C.office， "If you have something in the way，it's able to climb it." By giving customers control of when deliveries occur，Starship Technologies is promoting its service as a way to combat package theft.
     To sign up for the service，which costs a little more than ﹩10 per month，customers need to download the company's app.Customers then create a "Starship Delivery Address，" a unique address inside a Starship facility，instead of a home address，where they can have packages sent from places such as Amazon.jye.ai.
     Once a package is delivered to the Starship address，customers receive a text notice that allows them to schedule a home delivery through robot.The robots are opened by customers with a mobile phone code（代碼）.
  
  （1）What do we know about Starship Technologies company？

  
  A．Packages are delivered by its robots all round America.
  B．Its robots have taken on package delivery for a long time.
  C．It is the first to provide robot package delivery service.

  （2）What does the underlined word "combat" in Paragraph 4 probably mean？

  
  A．Propose.
  B．Prevent.
  C．Report.
  D．Discover.
  （3）What can we learn about robot package delivery service？

  
  A．Customers can't open the robots without a mobile phone code.
  B．Starship Delivery Address is the customer's home address.
  C．Customers have to pay a little more than ﹩10 each time.
  D．Robots themselves have control over when to deliver packages.
  （4）What is the passage mainly about？

• 4．According to a new study from Cornell University，about one-fifth of the global population，of 2 billion people worldwide，will be forced to resettle or go deeper inland by 2100 due to the continuous rise in sea level.
     The study，published in the journal Land Use Policy，showed that the growing global population could make the matter worse.The researchers expected that there are about 1.4 billon "climate change refugees（難民）" in the world by 2060 and by 2100 the number of the displaced people due to the rising sea level could reach up to two billion.
     "We're going to have more people on less land and sooner than we think，" said lead author Charles Geisler，professor at Cornell. "The future rise in global average sea level probably won't be gradual.Yet few policy makers are observing the significant barriers that coastal climate refugees，like other refugees，will run into when they move to higher ground."
     For the study，the researchers reviewed potential problems that climate change refugees may face if they go deeper inland.The researchers identified these land difficulties with relocation using three organizing groups.Including depletion（損耗） zones，win-lose zones and no trespass（不得擅自進入） zones.By doing so，the researchers were able to provide primary estimates of their toll（損失） on inland resettlement space.The researchers found that some inland regions were unlikely to support new waves of climate change refugees due to the remains of war，road developments and rare natural resources.
     Apart from the rising sea level，increasing storm weather and the booming global population are also having a huge influence on the number of climate change refugees.Storm can push seawater further inland.The increasing global population requires more land even as the ocean swallows up rich costal zones and river deltas（三角洲）.These force people to search for new places to move to higher ground.
  
  （1）What would happen if the sea level were to rise？

  
  A．2 billion people would be "refugees" by 2060.
  B．50% of the population would lose their homes.
  C．Inland regions would become more crowded.
  D．Coastal regions would be polluted seriously.
  （2）What can be inferred from Charles Geisler's words？

  
  A．The sea level will go up in a little-by-little way.
  B．Moving to higher land isn't the key solution.
  C．Land and population vary according to climate change.
  D．Policy makers should think more for climate change refugees.
  （3）Why do climate change refugees fail to move to some inland regions？

  
  A．Because they can't live a common life there.
  B．Because they can't adapt to the climate there.
  C．Because they may consume more than expected.
  D．Because they will destroy the natural resources.
  （4）What does the author stress in the last paragraph？

  
  A．Global warming is a double-edged sword.
  B．In the future climate will become worse.
  C．The earth will see more climate change refugees.
  D．Sea will bring humans more disadvantages.

• 5．Space is where our future is - trips to the Moon，Mars and beyond.Most people would think that apart from comets（彗星） and stars，there is little else out there.（1）

  Scientists are now concerned that if we don't clean it up，we may all be in great danger.
     The first piece of space junk was created in the year of 1964，when the American satellite Vanguard I stopped operating.（2）

  However，since it kept orbiting around the Earth without any results，scientists became increasingly comfortable abandoning things that no longer served any useful purpose in space.
     （3）

  The junk varies from tiny pieces of paint chipped of rockets to cameras，huge fuel tanks，and even odd items like the million-dollar tool kit that astronaut Heidemarie Stefanyshyn Piper lost during a spacewalk.
  The major problem with the space trash is that it may hit working satellites and damage travelling spaceship.In addition to this，many pieces of junk may crash with each other and break into pieces which fall back to the Earth. （4）

  Ground stations have been built to monitor larger pieces of space trash to prevent them from crashing into working satellites or space shuttles. （5）

  They will stop littering in space and to clean up the trash already there.
  

  A.Future plans include a cooperative effort among many nations. B.The junk floats slowly around the Earth. C.However，since our space journey started，we have left much trash（垃圾） in space. D.It is said that there are now over 500，000 pieces of man-made trash orbiting the Earth at speeds of up to 17，500 miles per hour. E.It lost its connection with the ground centre. F.To avoid this，scientists have invented several ways for clearing the sky. G.It hasn't result in any serious problems up to now.

• 23．"A usual boring day!" This would be the answer from Roman if somebody asked him how his day was.These days he found everything boring，and nothing excited him.
      One day he was lying on the bed in his room as usual.Suddenly the light went off.His room was rather hot without an air conditioner.Though he did not want to leave his room，he had to.Unwillingly，he left his room and came to the living room.It was slightly cool there as the living room had two huge windows.
  His young brother was playing with his friend.They were rolling on the floor.He was looking out for the TV remote，but couldn't find it.He got up and searched for it everywhere，but the remote was nowhere to be seen.He looked at his brother who was still lying on the floor，playing.
      He asked him， "where is the remote？"
      "Under the sofa，" his brother yelled.
      He tried to look through the remote，but it was dark.He put his hand under the sofa.He touched something，grabbed it and took his hand out.It was a snake in his hand!
      Upon seeing that，his brother started to yell， "Snake!Snake!" Mom came as soon as she heard the shouting.She was too horrified to see a snake.She was so scared that she even couldn't speak a word.Two kids were trying to hide behind each other's back. "What an old trick!" Roman thought and threw it to the kids.
  As the snake landed on the floor and neared the kids，it started moving from the left side to the right.Only then did Roman realize that the snake was real，and not a toy.He threw the snake to kids because he thought it was a fake snake and it was the kids who were playing some tricks.
     This time Mom almost got a heart attack.Now Roman was scared，too.The snake was only 10 meters away from the kids and was staring at them.They even couldn't call the rescue team.There might be some deadly damage before their arrival.There was not much time to think.It was the time for a quick action.
  
  Paragraph 1：
  As Roman was farther from the snake，he jumped onto the window and grabbed the curtains.____________
  Paragraph 2：
  After the rescue team caught and took the snake away，everyone went inside the home.______________
