But there were so many people there that the discussion was limited. After getting home, my 13-year-old son asked me to read one chapter to him. So I read the chapter about spending my pocket money as a nine-year-old child.The story took place at a lunch counter, where I dreamed of ordering a banana split. Colorful balloons were hung above the counter and a sign said “Pop a balloon and pay 1 cent to 63 cents for a banana split!” As I was given only 50 cents for cleaning the doghouse, I didnt dare to ask my parents for any more pocket money without doing more work or risk asking anyone else. So I kept my wish to myself.Frankie listened carefully, as I read the final sentences of the chapter, “I watched as others selected a balloon to pop and dreamed about the opportunity to take my chance. But it never happened.”The next morning, Frankie led me to the kitchen. I couldnt believe my eyes. The table was covered in a pile of balloons. Frankie handed me 50 cents and a fork. “Pop one!” he urged. With tears in my eyes, I broke one. A piece of paper fell out of the balloon.“What does it say?” Frankie asked. “Fifty cents,” I whispered, too moved to speak loudly. Frankie asked, “Well, do you have 50 cents?” I handed him the money. “OK!” Then Frankie pulled out a banana split from the refrigerator.I hugged Frankie hard. We took turns popping the other balloons until I finally got the 1-cent balloon. It was a long-time coming, but worth the wait.It hit me that the first step in making any wish come true is giving it a voice.24. The author read the chapter to Frankie because .A. she wanted to get feedback from FrankieB. Frankie asked the author to read it to himC. she was used to telling a bedtime story to himD. Frankie had a strong desire for knowledge25. What can we infer about the author from the second paragraph?A. She spent money wisely when she was a kid.B. She had enough money to do whatever she liked.C. She earned her pocket money by doing housework.D. She had no close friends to share her secret wish.26. Seeing what Frankie did for her, the author felt .A. comfortable and happyB. puzzled and excitedC. awkward and satisfiedD. surprised and grateful27. The author learned that .A. it is important to express ones wishesB. it is comforting to have a kid aroundC. experiences in childhood affect us later in lifeD. wishes can come true by just voicing themCThe days of having to carry a phone charger everywhere could soon be over. Michigan researchers have revealed a major breakthrough in harvesting energy from human motion. They say it could lead to smart phones powered for a week by the motion of a swipe (重击).Michigan State Universitys low-cost device, known as a nano generator, has already been tested. Scientists success fully operated an LED touch screen, a bank of 20 LED lights and a flexible keyboard, all with a simple touching or pressing motion and without the aid of a battery. The groundbreaking findings, published in the journal Nano Energy, suggest “Were on the path toward wearable devices powered by human motion,” said Nelson Sepulveda, associate professor of electrical and computer engineering and lead researcher of the project.“What I foresee, relatively soon, is the capability of not having to charge your cellphone for an entire week, for example, because that energy will be produced by your movement,” said Sepulveda, whose research is funded by the National Science Foundation.Electrical energy is created when the device is compressed by human motion. The completed device is as thin as a sheet of paper. The device used to power the LED lights was palm-sized, while the device used to power the touch screen was as small as a finger. Advantages such as being lightweight, flexible and low -cost could make it a promising and alternative method in the field of Mechanical-energy harvesting.The device also becomes more powerful when folded. Sepulveda said, “You can start with a large device, but when you fold it once again and again, its much smaller and has more energy. Now it may be small enough to put in a specially made heel of your shoe so it creates power each time your heel strikes the ground.”Sepulveda and his team are also developing technology that would transmit the power generated by the heel strike to, say, a wireless headset.29. The underlined word “device” in the second paragraph probably refers to .A. a piece of equipment B. a special kind of smart phoneC. a touch screen D. a flexible keyboard30. What can we learn about Nelson Sepulveda in the passage?A. He works as a journalist writing for Nano Energy.B. He plays a major role in the project of the nano generator.C. He invented a type of battery-free smart phone.D. He collects funds for the National Science Foundation.31. From the passage we know that the nano generator .A. becomes more powerful when kept flatB. has already come into market in the USAC. is light weight and flexible though expensiveD. makes it possible to produce power by walking32. The purpose of the passage is to .A. persuade people to buy the deviceB. bring in a new way to save energyC. introduce a breakthrough in scienceD. honor Nelson Sepulveda for his contributionsDEndless queues and long waits at the ticket inspection desks at Chinas major train stations were signature of the Spring Festival travel rush before this year. Every year, as the countrys biggest national holiday unfolded a huge flow of travelers would leave staff at the check-in desks facing a dilemma.But with the installment (安装) of artificial intelligence (AI) in dozens of train stations this year, including a facial recognition system which is able to process passenger identification within five seconds and therefore speed up the waiting process, busy scenes started to become something of the past.When a passenger approaches the camera inside the facial recognition system at the station, it scans his face and then quickly compares it with the photograph shown on his identification card in real time. If the information matches, the barrier gates will open and allow the passenger to go through.Such use of facial recognition technology is in line with discussions heard at the recent two sessions meeting, a key annual political event, which focused on the widespread application of a security network named Tianwang (“Sky Net” in English) currently being used by Chinas public security department.The network, according to reports by the People Daily, has the potential to recognize the facial features of anyone in the world and match them on the spot with photographs on a database of criminal suspects. In fact, it can analyze photographic identity so quickly that it can scan every single Chinese face on the planet in just one second, and it would only take two seconds to scan every face in the world, with an accuracy rate of up to 99.8 percent.Those are just two examples that highlight the development of Chinese visual AI technology, which industry insiders predict could contribute to powerful growth in the global technology sector this year.32. Whats the authors purpose in writing the first paragraph?A. To introduce the following topic of the passage.B. To describe the Spring Festival.C. To inform readers of the development of China.D. To explain the dilemma of the staff.33. Whats the solution to the Spring Festival travel rush?A. Using artificial intelligence.B. Opening more barrier gates.C. Limiting the number of passengers.D. Increasing more staff at the check-in desks.34. What can we know about facial recognition technology?A. Its application leads to a heated discussion.B. Its application is useless to policemen.C. Its operating speed is not yet high enough.D. Its accuracy rate is very high.35. Whats the authors attitude towards Chinese visual AI technology?A. Depressed.B. Positive.C. Doubtful.D. Indifferent.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。选项中有两项为多余选项。New Lives for Old PhonesWhen a new mobile phone starts to be sold in stores, many people rush out to buy one.
