32.E

33.G

34.B

35.A本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了粉笔的发展历史，功能和制作等相关信息。【31题详解】前文Lessonsareoftenpresentedtoentireclassesonchalkboards(orblackboards,astheywereoriginallycalled)usingsticksofchalk（一般老师给全班同学上课都是用粉笔在黑板上进行）与D.That'sbecausethismethodhasbeenprovencheapandeasy.（那是因为这种做法被证实是既廉价又简单）承接自然，选项解释了用粉笔在黑板上写字的原因。且答句中的thismethod就是指前文的用粉笔在黑板上写字的方法。故选D项。【32题详解】前文Later,artistsofdifferentcountriesandstylesusedchalkmainlyforsketches（后来，不同国家和风格的艺术家使用粉笔作画）与E.Chalkwasfirstformedintosticksfortheconvenienceofartists.（粉笔最初被做成棍状是为了方便画家）承接自然，前后句中的artists为原词复现，故选E项。【33题详解】后文Classsizesbegantoincreaseatthattime.Therefore,teachersneededaconvenientwayofconveyinginformationtomanystudentsatonetime.（那时班级规模开始扩大，教师们需要一种便捷的方法把信息同时传递给很多学生）与G.Chalkdidn'tbecomestandardinschoolroomsuntilthe19thcentury.（粉笔直到十九世纪才成为教室里的标配）承接自然，答句中的untilthe19thcentury就是后文的atthattime。故选G项。【34题详解】前文duringthe20thcentury,theychosethecolor1green,arguingthatitwaseasierontheeyes.（出于对眼睛的考虑，二十世纪黑板的颜色变成了绿色）与B.Yellowbecamethepreferredcolor1forchalk.（黄色成为粉笔的首选颜色）承接自然，黑板颜色的变化导致选择粉笔颜色的变化，符合逻辑，故选B项。【35题详解】后文It'sjustthatthedustsettlesfaster.（只不过是粉尘沉降得更快而已）与A.Dustlesschalkstillproducesdust.（无尘粉笔仍然会产生粉尘）承接自然，上下句的dust是原词复现，故选A项。三、阅读理解19.Imagineacatthatdoesnotneedsomeonetocleanupafteritkeepsanolderpersoncompanyandhelpthemremembertotaketheirmedicine.ThatistheshareddreamofthetoymakerHasbroandscientistsatBrownUniversityinProvidence,RhodeIsland.Theresearchersreceiveda$3-million-dollarawardfromtheNationalScienceFoundationforaspecialproject.Theywanttofindwaystoaddartificialintelligence,orA.I.,toHasbro’s“JoyforAll”roboticcat.Thecathasalreadybeenforsalefortwoyears.Thoughpricedover1000dollars,itsoldquitewell.Itwasmeanttoactasa“companion”forolderpeople.Nowtheprojectisaimedatdevelopingadditionalabilitiesforthecat.ResearchersatBrown’sHumanity-CenteredRoboticsInitiativeareworkingtodecidewhichactivitiesolderadultsmayneedthemost.Theyhopetomakethecatperformasmallnumberofactivitiesverywell.Suchactivitiesincludefindinglostobjectsandremindingthepersontotakemedicineorvisittheirdoctor.Theyalsowanttokeepthecostdowntojustafewhundreddollars.ItisanideathathasappealedtoJeanneElliottHer93-year-oldmotherMaryDerrliveswithherinSouthKingstown.Derrhasdementia(痴呆).TheJoyforAllcatthatElliottboughtthisyearhasbecomeatruecompanionforDerr.ThecatstayswithDerrandkeepshercalmwhileEliotisatwork.Elliottsaidaroboticcatthathelpshermothertoremembertotakehermedicineandbecarefulwhenshewalkswouldbegreater.Theresearchersaretryingtolearnhowtheimprovedcatswillcompletehelpfulactivitiesandhowtheywillcommunicate.Theysaythattheydonotwantatalkingcat,however.Insteadtheyaretryingtodesignacatthatcanmoveitsheadinaspecialwaytosuccessfullycommunicateitsmessage.Intheend,theyhopetocreateanexchangebetweenthehumanandthecatinwhichthehumanfeelsthecatneedsthem.Bydoingso,theresearchershopetheycanevenhelppreventfeelingsoflonelinessandsadnessamongelderlypeople.23.What’sthepurposeoftheproject?A.Torelievethepainoftheelderly.B.Topromotethesalesofamedicine.C.Tohelpmaketheroboticcatsmarter.D.Toinventaroboticcatfortheelderly.24.Comparedwiththeoldmodel,thenewroboticcatwillbe________.A.cheaperB.smallerC.moretalkativeD.moreexpensive25.WhatdoesParagraph3intendtotellus?A.Themorefunctionsofthecat,thebetter.B.Thecatgivesmuchhelptotheelderly.C.Thereisnocurefordementiaatpresent.D.MaryDerrwouldhavediedwithoutthecat.26.Whatcanweinferfromthelastparagraph?A.Atalkingcatisquitepopularamongtheelderly.B.Feelingsofsadness
