deserted. i wondered if the jackson was a tramp (流浪者). anyway, it seemed he had left, possibly because of miss frasers threatening police action. i decided to visit her.i knocked on her door and it was opened almost immediately. “ah!” she said gladly. “youre just in time for coffee.” i followed her inside. miss fraser told me more about her battle with jackson. but when i asked specific questions, it clearly showed that she had never seen jackson. finally, i managed to leave.sergeant barstow smiled kindly as i returned. “nick, did you kick(踢出) jackson out of that house?”“jackson!” i cried. “who is he?”“there is no jackson,” he said. “miss fraser is lonely and she likes company. we always let the new young men deal with miss fraser. it gives her deep satisfaction. thats what we

would change her life. “coco helped me feel better,” says allison, who was recovering from cancer at the time. “she would stay with me when i didnt want to play.” allison loved coco so much that she told her parents she wanted to help other sick kids find the same kind of comfort.she started raising money by selling homemade dog biscuits in front of her house. her first customer was the mailman.

founded for allisons cause.her organization, the stink bug project, is run to help families adopt pets. to date, the program has raised $33,000 and given ten dogs to ten kids with cancer. with the remaining money, allisons mother, dianna litvak, who helps run stink bug, hopes to extend(扩大)the pet-adoption program all over the state and help support cancer research.her daughter is just as ambitious (雄心勃勃的). “i wanted to do a million adoptions, but my mom made me lower it,” says allison. still, shed finally like to get dogs to sick kids in other states. “allison has figured out（理解）how

kingdom have developed the french digital (数字的) kitchen. professor paul seedhouse led the project. “it works like a satellite navigation (导航) system in a car. the system can tell whether youve done what you were asked to do or not. for example, the sensor (传感器) in the knife not only knows that the knife is moving, but it also knows how the knife is moving. so it can discover whether the knife is slicing（切）, whether its scraping（刮）or what. and so it doesnt go on to the next stage of the program unless youve done what it senses（感到）you should have done,” said paul seedhouse.students can ask the computer to repeat the instructions or translate them into english. there are vocabulary(词汇) lessons before and after the cooking.professor seedhouse became interested in the idea after he visited a talking kitchen designed for a different purpose. in his opinion the french digital kitchen turns the process (过程) of learning language into a real-life experience. “here youre taking it out of the classroom and youre actually using the language to produce something which you can eat at the end of it. its very enjoyable,” he said.the system will be available for sale by the end of 2020. adding the technology to a new kitchen could add about ten to twenty percent to the building costs. the system could also be added to an existing(现存的) kitchen. the researchers are also developing a new digital(数字的) kitchen system that is easy to carry or to move. and the european union has given them money to begin programs in six other languages, including english, italian and spanish.59. whats mainly described in the text?a. a satellite navigation system.b. a talking kitchen.c. a learning tool.d. a sensor.60. the second paragraph tells readers _.a. how the talking kitchen worksb. why theres a sensor in the knifec. what a satellite navigation system isd. how to use the knife in the talking kitchen61. which of the following about the talking kitchen is true?a. it can be used in a car.b. its easy to be carried and moved.c. it can be put into an old kitchen.d. it can only speak french and english now.62. which part of a magazine may the text appear in?a. science & technology.b. life & style. c. advertisement. d. entertainment.deducation cuts(削减) have become routine (惯常的) over the past few years, which has made it difficult for students to learn. the results of a survey of 1,850 los angeles county high school students show just how much the cuts are affecting students.because of teacher layoffs (解雇), class sizes at some high schools have risen to 50 students even in math and english classes. some 37 percent of students report that they sometimes dont have a desk to sit at. sixty-seven percent say crowded classrooms make them feel the teachers dont have enough time to teach, and 30 percent say theyve not been able to join in a program because its no longer offered at their school.at a time when technology is an important skill, 52 percent of students say there arent enough computers. or theyre often broken, and theres no one to fix them. fifty-one percent say theyve had to share textbooks with a classmate because there arent enough copies to go around. fifty-seven percent say theyve had to copy information because their school doesnt have enough paper to make copies.“we have only one science teacher for the entire(整个的) high school,” writes felix ruano, a 16-year-old student. he goes on to describe how that teacher, who is only qualified to teach chemistry, is teaching physics or, at least, is trying to do so. “he shows physics videos and we teach ourselves from our textbook,” says ruano. and, as has been seen elsewhere, “all but one of the restrooms” at ruanos school “have been closed because we dont have enough people to clean them.”ruano notes that though faced with the challenges, 97 percent of students say they plan to go to college. but without “properly trained teachers and the best resources,” says ruano, its not likely that every student will achieve that goal. “unless schools fix these problems,” he says, “students could lose hope.”63. according to the text, education cuts have led to the following results except that _.a. class sizes at some high schools have risenb. some students dont have a desk to sit atc. some students have to share textbooksd. some students have to leave school64. the underlined word “qualified” in the fourth paragraph can best be replaced by “_”.a. fit b. willing c. bored d. worried65. according to ruano, _.a. he is good at teaching himself b. most students plan to go to collegec. his school is going to be closedd. most students are hopeful about their school66. what would be the
