22、 Each day, 10-year-old Seth asked his mom for more and more lunch money. Yet he seemed skinnier than ever and came home from school hungry. It turned out that Seth was handing his lunch money to fifth grader,who was threatening to beat him up if he didn't pay.
Most kids have been made fun of by a brother or a friend at some point. And it's not usually harmful when done in a playful and friendly way, and both kids find it funny. But when teasing becomes hurtful, unkind, and constant, it crosses the line into bullying and needs to be stopped.
Bullying is intentional torment(折磨)in physical or psychological ways. It can range from hitting, name-calling and threats to blackmailing(勒索)money and possessions. Some kids bully others by deliberately separating them and spreading rumours about them. Others use social media or electronic messaging to make fun of others or hurt their feelings.
It's important to take bullying seriously and not just brush it off as something that kids have to tolerate. The effects can be serious and affect kids' sense of safety and self-worth. In severe cases, bullying has contributed to tragedies, such as suicides and school shootings.
Kids bully for a variety of reasons. Sometimes they pick on kids because they need a victim—someone who seems emotionally or physically weaker, or just acts or appears different in some way—to feel more important, popular, or in control. Although some bullies are bigger or stronger than their victims, that's not always the case.
Sometimes kids bully others because that's the way they've been treated. They may think their behavior is normal because they come from families or other settings where everyone regularly gets angry and shouts or calls each other names.
Unless your child tells you about bullying—or has visible injuries—it can be difficult to figure out if its happening.
【1】What is the author's purpose of telling Seth's story?
A.To introduce the topic of bullying.
B.To seek help for the victims of bullying.
C.To analyze the cause of bullying.
D.To display the effects of bullying on kid
【2】What does the phrase “brush it off”(in paragraph 4)probably mean?
A.Remove bullying.
B.Ignore bullying.
C.Avoid bullying.
D.Punish bullying.
【3】According to the passage, which of the following about bullying is NOT true?
A.Bullying is accidental behaviors.
B.Those who bully get emotional satisfaction.
C.The weak are easy to be bullied.
D.The experience of being bullied can lead to bullying.
【4】What will the following paragraph most probably talk about?
A.Problems of bullying.
B.Cause and effect of bullying.
C.Signs of bullying.
D.Psychological reasons of bullying.
23、The robot watched as Shikhar Bahl opened there frigerator door. It recorded his movements, the swing of the door and more,analyzing this data and readying itself to imitate(模仿)what Bahl had done.It failed at first,missing the handle completely at times, grabbing it in the wrong spot or pulling it incorrectly. But after a few hours of practice, the robot succeeded and opened the door.
“Imitation is a great way to learn,”said Bahl, a Ph.D. student at the Robotics Institute (RI) in Carnegie Mellon University.“Having robots actually learn from directly watching humans remains an unsolved problem in the field,but this work takes a significant step in enabling that ability.”
Bahl worked with Deepak Pathak and Abhinav Gupta, both faculty members in the RI, to develop a new learning method for robots called WHIRL,short for In-the-Wild Human Imitating Robot Learning. WHIRL is an efficient computation program for visual imitation. People constantly perform various tasks in their homes. With WHIRL, a robot can observe those tasks, gather the video data it needs and then go about practicing and learning to accomplish the tasks on its own.
The team added a camera and their software to an off-the-shelf robot,and it learned how to do more than 20 tasks—from opening and closing appliances,cabinet doors and drawers to putting a lid on a pot,pushing in a chair and even taking a garbage bag out of the bin.
Current method for teaching a robot a task typically relies on reinforcement(强化)learning. In reinforcement learning, the robot is typically trained on millions of examples in imitation and then asked to adapt that training to the real world.
This learning model works well when teaching a robot a single task in a structured environment,but it is difficult to extend and deploy(调动).WHIRL can learn from any video of a human doing a task. It is capable of being easily expanded, not limited to one specific task and can operate in realistic home environments.
【1】What does the author intend to show in paragraph 1?
A.The robot can’t learn to do things by itself.
B.It isn’t easy for robots to learn housework.
C.It is a big step for robots to enter the home.
D.People are patient to teach robots to do housework.
【2】What is the aim of studying the WHIRL by the team?
A.To make robots learn housework efficiently.
B.To replace humans in housework with robots.
C.To help people know about the life with robots.
D.To teach a robot a single task in home environment.
【3】What does the author focus on in paragraph 4?
A.The process of developing WHIRL.
B.The achievements of the research.
C.The tasks the robot needs to complete.
D.The advantages of the new method.
【4】How do the last two paragraphs develop?
A.By making comparisons.
B.By explaining causes and effects.
C.By introducing learning methods.
D.By summarizing the functions of WHIRL.
24、Math and music are two entirely different fields of study, but there is a strong relevance between them. At some point, they tend to overlap, and it is common for people good at math to be good at music. It may seem illogical to compare the two, but there are more similarities between math and music than you would imagine.
Numbers can tell us more about music. Sounds strange but it’s true. Music is divided into sections that are called measures, where each measure has equal amounts of beats. This is comparable to mathematical divisions of time. Now, each piece of music will tell us how many beats there are in each measure. All the music notes have numerical connections and a number of beats. It is important to understand the value of fractions (分数) and notes to count the music correctly.
The biggest similarity between math and music in pattern. For example, music has repeating choruses while math uses patterns to explain the unknown. You can use different mathematical phenomena in music. These include geometry (几何学), signal processing, etc. In fact, research has shown that when music shows some mathematical structure, it tends to be more popular.
In addition to their shared elements, math and music can be taught using the principles of both. A student who enjoys math and music can benefit from both. For example, music can enhance cognition and reasoning skills. For instance, Einstein listened to music when solving math problems to increase clarity. Similarly, playing music can improve cognition, as it increases communication between the two brains.
Music is a gateway to many things, and until now, you probably didn’t realize that it’s just as demanding, analytical, logical and scientific as math. Something as simple as learning “Mary Had a Little Lamb” on the piano is actually setting your child up for bigger and better things; maybe they’ll pick up Pythagoras (毕达哥拉斯) in a flash, maybe they’ll be a genius in math, perhaps they’ll one day discover their own theory of relativity.
【1】What does the author think about math and music?
A.Math and music are deeply intertwined.
B.Music is a totally different subject from math.
C.It sounds reasonable to compare math and music.
D.People expert at math all tend to be music lovers.
【2】What’s mainly about the paragraph 2?
A.Measure is a piece of music.
B.Math helps in reading music.
C.Music sound appears strange.
D.Music beats equal to math numbers.
【3】What statement will the author probably agree with?
A.Patterns are common in both math and music.
B.Certain music skills are practised via choruses.
C.Music principle seems easier than mathematics.
D.Reasoning skills in math chiefly rely on music.
【4】What message does the last paragraph convey?
A.Musical involvement promotes to be a genius.
B.Music allows kids to combine math with piano.
C.Music offers kids potential success in mathematics.
D.Music may enhance the mathematics skills of all kids.

26、阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。
I discovered my love for writing while working on my undergraduate degree in English. I fell in love with children's literature and knew that was what I wanted to do with my life: write for children. So I wanted to learn how to write. But life kept me busy, and my dream stopped.
Two decades later, I wanted to sign up for a university's writing program for adults to accept the education of writing. 1 hoped to greatly improve my writing skills and then start my writing journey. So I applied to a university for such a writing program.
But after several days of taking the courses, I found the learning tasks were too heavy in light of my busy family life, so I dropped out of the program.
Over the next few years, I applied to several universities’ writing programs again. However, still due to the busy family life, I gave up after only a few days of taking the courses. And I knew I would never apply to a school again. I had closed that door.
Two years ago, my husband got a new job, requiring us to move from our home in Texas to Washington, D.C. it wasn't an easy move. The family part was the problem. No one would be moving with us. All our children had grown up. So when we sat down for dinner in our new home-the big, empty and quiet house, only my husband and me, I didn't know how to deal with the quiet life.
One morning, I woke up from a dream. In my dream, I had contacted the last university's writing department, asked to rejoin their writing program for adults, and was allowed. The dream had shaken me. So, before I got out of bed or changed my mind, I picked up my phone and sent an e-mail asking what I would need to do to reapply.
