But Lottie liked apples and they could get bread from tomorrow mornings bake.After they ate, the two girls curled up on the makeshift (凑合的) bed.

How will we find our way to Uncle Roberts?” She wanted to run home to find Mom and Dad and sit with them by the fire. But she knew she could never do that again. At least, she thought, “the guard hasnt come, and well be gone by the morning. ” Then she slept. Med didnt feel the draught (气流)of night air that blew in through the open window above her. She didnt see the hot ashes swirl out of the fire beneath the oven. At first she didnt smell the hay, burning in the corner of the next room. A ribbon of smoke floated across her face and made her cough. It woke her. She rubbed her stinging eyes. Through the office door, she saw flames climbing up the wall, She heard them crackling in the wooden ceiling.Well have to get out, Meg thought, but well never get past that fire!

If she had come eight days later, I wouldnt have had to think about sending her to school early or waiting a year. No such luck, however-my daughter arrived on schedule. Consequently, I spent many hours having conversations about school starting dates. I approached these conversations with an open mind, listening attentively to parents who sent their child to school as soon as he or she was able. Some parents said that sending their children to school early was the right decision, because delaying another year would have meant a bored child. Other parents said that their child had struggled being the youngest in the class. But then there were friends at university who were younger than the rest of us, but always seemed to do well in class. With a spinning head, I turned to the experts. At kindergarten, my daughter was given a school readiness test by a child health nurse. She was asked to complete a series of tasks to determine her cognitive performance, language development, and physical development. My daughter aced(考得很好) the test. The results were clear-cut, and for a moment I thought Id found my answer to whether my daughter should go to school next year or not.And then came the follow-up call from the child health nurse. Even though the test found my daughter to be school-ready, the nurse suggested that I consider keeping my daughter at home another year. The nurse, who observed my daughter performing the test, noted that my daughter made it quite clear that shed rather be playing outside instead of sitting down doing a test. Being academically reading is not the same as being emotionally ready.After all that, I decided that my daughter would be starting school next year. The reasons for delaying turned out to have nothing to do with school readiness, but rather about life in general. We spend a long time being adults. So, giving my daughter one more year of childhood was a precious gifts. 24. What does the author mean by “ with a spinning head” in Paragraph 3? A. She was confused. B. She was worried. C. She was determinedD. She was curious.25. What happened when the authors daughter took the school readiness test?A. She refused to take the test.B. She failed to pass the test.C. She didnt enjoy doing the test.D. She outperformed all the other kids. 26. Why did the author choose to keep her daughter waiting for another year?A. She wanted to follow her friends advice. B. Her daughter was not academically ready for school.C. She wanted to give her daughter a longer childhood. D. She was worried that her daughter would struggle in class. 27. What is the main purpose of the article?A. To introduce school readiness tests to readers.B.To give advice on how to choose schools for kids.C.To explain why parents should send kids to school early.D.To share how she handled her daughters school age situationCRobots are already a common sight in warehouses (Amazon alone usemore than 45,000) but now theyre moving into stores too. Walmart hasannouncedits deploying(部署) shelf-scanning robots in 50 locations around the US, using the machines to check things like inventory, prices, and misplaced items. The retailing giant says the robots introduction wont lead to job losses, and that the company wants to save employees from carrying out tasks that are “repeatable, predictable, and manual.”The robots themselves are produced by California-based Bossa Nova Robotics, and are about two-feet tall with an extendable tower containing lights and sensors for scanning shelves. They sit in recharging stations in the store until a human employee gives them a “mission” e.g. checking a particular aisle(通道) to see what needs re-stocking. The robots are supposed to save workers time, but Walmart says it will also use the data they collect to improve efficiency nationwide.If you think about trying to go through a facility with all these different items and figure out if your prices are accurate, it can be very time-consuming,” John Crecelius, Walmarts vice president of central operations, toldtheArkansas Democrat-Gazette. “From our perspective, when youre doing things like this youre trying to improve your service to your customers and trying to make things simpler and easier for your co-workers at the same time.”Demonstrating the robots usefulness is simple enough, but Walmarts claim(声称) that their deployment wont lead to job losses is harder to prove. Just because you dont fire a human the moment you buy a robot, doesnt mean you wont hire fewer humans further down the line. And although economists and other forecasters disagree about whether the current wave of automation is going to lead to widespread job losses, at least some studies show that when you get more (industrial) robots in any geographic area, you getfewer jobs and lower wages. Whether or not the same holds true of shelf-scanning robots will no doubt be the subject of future studies.28. What is NOT the purpose of using shelf-scanning robots in Walmart?A. To reduce the burden of some employeesB. To provide better service for their customersC. To improve efficiency in the chain stores nationwideD. To cut down the budget by replacing some workers 29. What can we learn from John Crecelius?A. He is concerned that robots may affect his colleagues income.B. He is satisfied with the introduction of robots to Walmart.C.He thinks that robots may not accurately complete the tasks . D. He argues against the wide use of robots in Walmart.30.What the authors attitude towards Walmarts claim that the use of robots wont lead to job losses?A.Doubtful B.Favorable C.Ambiguous D. Tolerant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。 If something that youre doing doesnt challenge you, then it doesnt change you.
