• 2．In a series of Instagram posts this week the actress Kate Beckinsale shows her growing friendship with a fox in her mother's London garden，encouraging him on to her lap by handfeeding him bits of ham and naming him Peepo.It's as if Beckinsale is auditioning （試演） for alive-action of Snow White，commanding a series of forest animals at her finger tips.
     Beckinsale-like pretty much one woman on every urban UK street—is a "fox feeder".This troubles me.Not because of the old horror stories about city foxes stealing babies from their beds，but because it means that I have to accept that I'm not very cool.Foxes，on the other hand，are unbelievably cool.They were voiced in Wes Anderson's stop-motion film Fantastic Mr Fox by the silver fox himself，George Clooney.
     To be anti-fox is to be with Dahl's boring rule-followers，Boggis，Bunce and Bean.To be pro-fox is to be with Ricky Gervais delightedly，filming Foxes partying in his Hampstead garden，or the DJ Annie Mac filming，this summer，a fox strolling into her kitchen from her London patio.The fox takes a cold glance at Mac sitting on the sofa，ignores her，then cuts her shoe before loping off out the door.It was a mint green Nike Air Force 1，retailing at about 100 a pair.
     The London Wildlife Trust estimates that there are 10，000 foxes in the capital and about half of them sleep in our garden.They have wandered into the house and learnt how to open the lock on our food waste bin by rolling it over and over down the street at 2 am until the lid swings open.
     A few days ago I was at my front door late at night finding my key awkwardly when a fox walked behind me.Even though her dinner plans-the food-waste picnic hamper were right there，she seemed more interested in going to the house party without being invited.Only after I'd banged the door in her face did I feel safe.Do you still think it kind and safe to feed foxes？
  
  （1）What is the purpose of Kate's feeding the fox in paragraph 1？

  
  A．To attract her fans on Instagram.
  B．To promote the live-action of Snow White.
  C．To show that Kate is an animal lover.
  D．To introduce the topic of the passage.
  （2）Who shares the same attitude with the author towards foxes？

  
  A．Boggis
  B．Annie Mac
  C．Wes Anderson
  D．Kate Beckinsale
  （3）What can we learn from the text？

  
  A．Old horror stories make the author dislike foxes.
  B．Wes Anderson starred in the film Fantastic Mr Fox.
  C．George Clooney is a voice actor in Fantastic Mr Fox.
  D．More and more people realize the danger of feeding foxes in the city.
  （4）What message does the author want to convey in the passage？

  
  A．Foxes are pretty cool animals.
  B．Foxes should be driven out of the city.
  C．Feeding foxes in the city might not a proper action.
  D．Foxes and human beings are living in harmony in the city.

• 3．Although it is a business not many are aware of，sidewalk robots are set to become an industry with annual sales of ﹩1 bn within a decade，reckons IDTechEx，a British firm of analysts.These four-or six-wheeled autonomous machines，usually the size of a suitcase，are already delivering groceries and other goods in America，China and Europe.
     That puts them ahead of many driverless cars，vans and lorries being developed.Those bigger vehicles are held back not by technology but regulation，says Zehao Li of IDTechEx.So having a "safety driver" on board ready to take over if there is a problem，which is hardly labor-saving.
     For these larger contraptions regulators want to see safety systems thoroughly proved.But there are legal hurdles，too.In January Britain's Law Commission，which reviews legislation，recommended that it should not be the person in the driver's seat who faces prosecution if a vehicle in autonomous mode crashes，but the manufacturer or body that sought approval for its use.
     Meanwhile，sidewalk robots are getting on with the job.Among them，Starship Technologies，based in San Francisco，reckons it has already clocked up more than 2.5 m deliveries with bots in a number of cities，university campuses and business parks in Europe and America.Amazon is carrying out trials with a similar sort of machine it calls Scout.Kiwibot，a Colombian startup，is making sidewalk deliveries in Califomia.
     Typically，these robots carry a few bags of groceries using a variety of sensors，including cameras，radar and GPS to navigate and avoid obstacles and people.Their progress can be monitored on a phone app，which also unlocks them for goods to be retrieved.As they are small，move slowly（Starship's bots might reach a heady 6 kph） and are "telemonitored" by people in a control room who can take over，authorities seem more willing to give them a green light.
     Such robots are also becoming more autonomous.In January Serve Robotics，another San Franciscan firm whose backers include Uber，a ride-hailing giant，said it had deployed a new sidewalk bot with "level 4" autonomy，which means it can operate without telemonitoring in some predesignated areas.
     Robotic versions which operate on roads but have no driver's cab are also appearing.Nuro，a Silicon Valley firm，makes one about the size of a small car that can carry 24 bags of groceries.It has chilled and heated compartments for food and drinks.Further along the road in earning their keep，these delivery bots are helping to pave the way for the time when bigger autonomous vehicles can join them.
  
  （1）What can we learn from paragraph one？

  
  A．Sidewalk robots are portable like a suitcase.
  B．In the past decade，Ibn dollars have been invested into industry.
  C．The delivery industries of the US，China and Europe are dependent on sidewalk robots.
  D．The industry of sidewalk robot is expanding unknowingly.
  （2）According to the passage，who should be responsible for automatic driving car accidents？

  
  A．Safety drivers seated in the driver's seat.
  B．Every passenger except the driver.
  C．Organizations supportive of autonomous mode.
  D．Manufacturers and bodies seeking approval for using safety drivers.
  （3）What does the underlined phrase in paragraph four mean？

  
  A．reached
  B．designed
  C．bought
  D．invented
  （4）Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage？

  
  A．Amazon is using Scout to deliver groceries for people.
  B．If groceries are wrongly delivered，robots can take them back.
  C．Some robots may deliver groceries with no one telemonitoring them.
  D．Both cold and hot food can be preserved inside a sidewalk robot developed by Nuro.

• 9．閱讀下面材料，根據(jù)其內(nèi)容和所給段落開頭語續(xù)寫兩段，使之構(gòu)成一篇完整的短文。
      Madison was doing her homework in the study when the door burst open It was her mother，Leigh Williams，with a shocking and incredible story： "A little boy fell into a septic tank （化糞池），and no one can reach him. ' Then she made this request of her 13-year-old daughter： "Can you help？ "
      Madison and Leigh ran to a neighbor's yard，where they found the boy's anxious mother and other panic-stricken adults surrounding a septic tank opening that stuck out a few inches above the lawn.It was 11 inches across-slightly wider than a basketball-with a hatch （蓋子） that had been moved unnoticed.The boy，aged only two，had slipped in and was drowning in four feet of sewage （污水） inside the eight-feet-deep tank.The men and women-who minutes earlier had been enjoying a party in a nearby home when they heard the boy's mother scream-were dropping a rope into the tank，hoping the child would grab hold so they could pull him out.
      Madison quickly surveyed the situation.She was the only one who could fit through the small hole.Without hesitation，she got on her stomach next to the opening，placed her arms out in front of her，and told the adults， "Lower me in. "
      Inside the tank，it was dark and smelly.Madison stuck her arms into the sewage.In the process，she jammed her left wrist against a hidden pole，injuring the muscles in her wrist and arm so severely that the hand was made useless.
      Rather than tend to her injury，Madison skimmed the surface of the sewage，hoping to feel the boy.Minutes ticked by before she saw the vague outline of the boy's foot.Madison shot her good hand out and grasped the foot tightly. "Pull me up! " she shouted to the others above.
