It all started Campbell asked his parent if they could buy Christmas presents for kidsin hospital. They were touched by his kindness, but told him that buying so many toys would be too costly. He is one of nine children, and buying presents for all of them was already a pretty expensive affair for the parents. Campbell didnt let a simple no discourage him from bringing a bit of joy to kids going through tough times, so he decided to make the presents himself. It took the 9-year-old boy five hours to create his first stuffed(填充的）toy. However after three years of practice, he is now able to put one together in just an hour. “I was blown away by the first bear, his mother said. Overly impressed but not surprised at his determination to leach himself. The successful experiment only inspired Campbell Remees to become better at sewing, and challenged himself to create one stuffed toy per day and donate them to sick children struggling in the hospital, Project 365 by Campbell was born. Over die last three years. Campbell Remess has created over 800 stuffed toys for sick children.

A 2014 study compared kindergarten teachers expectations for their students in 1998 10 today. The differences were striking. In 1998，31 percent of teachers thought that kindergarten students should be able to read by the end of the year. By 2014, that figure is now about 80 percent. More than a third kindergarten teachers now think that kids should enter school already knowing the alphabet and how to hold a pencil. Besides t the researchers found huge decreases in the amount of self-directed, creative play timedress up, art，sand and water playand increases in the amount of lime studente were involved in teacher-directed，whole-class instruction. Unfortunately, kindergarten today ignores a basic fact of young children * s development that is well-known by early childhood educators ： normal development in young children occurs at very different rates and in very different ways. For example, the average age that a baby starts to walk is 12 months, but some kids start talking at eight or nine months and olhere at 15, or even 16，months. Similarly, the average age that a child learns to be an independent reader is about six and a half. Some learn to read at four, and others at seven, and both extremes are developmentally normal. In the fourth grade, kids who learned to read at four are typically not any better at reading than those who started at seven. Countries like Finland and Sweden do not even start formal academic schooling until age seven. We need to respect childrens personal developmental timelines. The idea that“earlier is better” for reading instruction is simply not supported by research evidence. Childrens longterm achievement and self-identities as readers and students can be damaged when they are introduced to reading too early.28. What can we infer from the text?A. Kindergarten has been replaced by first or even second grade.B. KindeTgarten leachere have higher expectation? for students now.C. Kindergarten sludente inlelligefice ha been largely improved.D. Children should know the alphabet before entering kindergarten,29. What will probably happen to children who learn to read at 7?A.They will perform best among their classmates.B.They will have difficulty becoming an independent reader.C.They will catch up with those who learn to read earlier.D. They will fall behind those who learn to read earlier forever.30.What should kindergarten teachers do according to the text?A. Increase the time in whole-class instruction.B. Pay more attention to childrens academic level.C. Encourage children to learn at their own pace. D. Raise children s competitive spirit at an early age.31.How does the author feel about the present education in kindergarten?A. Ashamed. B. Cautious.C.Satisfied.D.Concerned.D Since 2013, Torobo, a robotic arm designed to test the limits of artificial intelligence. Las had one ambitionto be admitted to the University of Tokyo. However, it has repeatedly failed. This year was no exception. In early November Torobo took an exam to prepare for an all-important standardized test. Whik TorObos overall score of 525 out of 950 was 14 points higher than in 2015，its standard score of 57.1% was slightly tower, because human students did better in the 2016 test. Though the score，which is higher than the national averaget is enough to get the robot admitted to many other famous Japanese universities, it falls short of the minimum required for the University of Tokyo. A closer analysis, of the results showed that Torobos newly programmed ability to solve complex physics problems helped increase its year-over-year physics score from 46. 5% to 59%. The robot also dug deep into its database of information from textbooks and websites to obtain an impressive 66.3% in word history. The average 60% scores acquired in the two math sections, were not too shabby either. But，while Torobo is able to handle knowledge-based questions and ones involving complex mathematical calculations, it has a hard time thinking independently. As a result, the robot is unable to comprehend multiple sentences and phrases to arrive at the logical conclusions required in the English language tests. This weakness was reflected in the weak oral and writing scores, which came in at 36.2% and 50.5% , respectively. Fortunately, after four grueling years, the robots creators have decided to free Torobo from its annual test-taking suffering, the research team will instead focus on improving the robot s ability to pick out specific answers from massive sets of dataa skill that led to its excellent history scores. They believe the expertise(专业技术）will help Torobo succeed as anindustrial robot.32. What is the disadvantage of Torobo?A. It has weak independent thinking ability.B. It couldn? I ait through the exams.C. It has much difficulty searching for Facts.D. It doesnt own language skills.33. WHaT does the underlined word “grueding” in the last paragraph probably mean?A. happyB.tiringC.successful D. independent34. What did the exam results show?A. Torobo was admitted to a university.B. Torobo did well in the history exam.C. Torobos score didn11 reach the national average.D. Torobos programmed ability improved its math score.35. What is the text mainly about?A. Subjects a robot id good at.B. Majors that are suitable for a robot.C. A robots ways to deal with exams.D. A robotsperformances in exams.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。How to Stay Positive There are two ways to live your life.
