Celestine Thompson left Mississippi when she was 14 years oid and eventually settl

19、ed in New York，where she spent more than 30 years of her life，according to WLOX 13 News. After surviving a fire in 1992，Thompson was in a coma（昏迷）for two years and has since experienced memory loss. The 90-year-old found it difficult to recall details about her family. But later she remembered the n

20、ame of her nephew Clarence Woodway. Then another woman who knows Thompson in Mississippi was able to track Woodway down and help reunite Thompson with her large family. “In our minds，my brother and I were talking that she wasnt here anymore，because we hadnt heard from her for a very long time，”Donal

21、d Davis，another one of Thompsons nephews，told the media.“You know，we were overjoyed when we found out that we had gotten in contact with her.” A few of Thompsons relatives visited her in New York，and then arranged a larger reunion which was held this past Saturday in Gulfport，Mississippi，the Associa

22、ted Press reported.

26、ctness and the stress of daily homework. But as kids and parents enjoy their well-deserved break from school work，we can all take a more active role in ensuring their minds dont simply melt away into a mess of video games，texting and social media. Summer is the perfect time to encourage children to

27、read. A recent study，conducted by Common Sense Media，has found that the older kids get，the less likely they are to read for pleasure. There has been a drop in reading among all kids，especially adolescents over time. And reading for fun drops off dramatically as children grow. The study found that mo

28、re than half of all nine-year-olds read daily for fun. But those numbers drop to just 27 percent among 13-year-olds and even lower for older teens. In 1984，31 percent of 17-year-olds said they read every day for pleasure. But that number has dropped to a disturbing 19 percent today. Its not just the

29、 kids who are reading less. Parents also read to their children less than ever. A recent survey shows this busier generation of parents read to their children - 5 - just an average of 30 minutes per day- down from an average of 45 minutes per day in 1999. In todays world，there are more distractions

30、for children，and reading doesnt always stand high on that list. Part of the decline is surely due to the technology impact on children. But the digital revolution also means opportunity. There are more platforms than ever for children to read：from tablets to e-Readers. In this brave new world，we mus

31、t find more creative ways to engage our kids and ensure that we are raising a new generation of readers. 39. One of the main reasons why children read less is that A. their reading proficiency is declining B. they are faced with the homework stress C. parents are too busy to read to them D. books wr

32、itten for them are not attractive 40. How did the author describe the decline of reading in Paragraph 4？ A. By listing figures. B. By giving examples. C. By conducting a survey. D. By telling a story. 41What does the last paragraph imply? A. Digital revolution can benefit peoples reading habits. B.

33、It is easier for children to be influenced by technology. C. Tablets and e-Readers are really bad reading platforms. D. Distractions must be removed to improve childrens reading. 42. The authors purpose of writing this passage is to A. explain why kids dont like reading B. emphasize the importance o

34、f reading C. give tips on how to help children read 1). remind adults of their childrens reading D While Sat-navy may be good for getting from A to B in a hurry，the technology is unhelpful at selecting the prettiest routes（路线），which may be of interest it you are not in a rush. But Yahoo is working o

35、n an aesthetically（美学上）focused solution and is creating a program that can pick out the most beautiful and pleasurable routes based upon the views of locals. Ms. Quercia at Yahoo ,aid：“The goal of this work is t。）automatically suggest routes - 6 - that are not only short but also emotionally pleasan

36、t.” In order to create the scenic route program，the computer scientists collected images from Google Street View to create a database for central London，Gizmodo reported. They then asked 3，300 Londoners how pleasant the places and neighborhoods were relative to each other. Users saw two places side

37、by side and chose the more attractive one. “We arranged those places into a graph upon which we learned pleasant routes，”Ms. Quercia explained. The team used the results to make heat maps of beautiful parts of London and generated a program to locate the most attractive walking routes. The program d

38、oes this by searching through suggested routes from one place to another，operating the path to choose the most attractive roads. The researchers said that routes tend to be 12 per cent longer than the shortest paths. When 30 volunteers tested theirattractiveroutes，they confirmed that they were indee

39、d more pleasing. “Based on a quantitative confirmationwe find that，compared to the shortest routes， the recommended ones add just a few more walking minutes but are indeed more beautiful， quiet and happy，”they wrote. To test and build on the idea，the computer scientists then examined almost 4 millio

40、n images on Flickr covering specific places in London that they had already mapped，to understand what is considered beautiful. Knocking out the crowd-sourcing element（要素）of the process, they repeated the Flickr process to make a new map of central London，showing the exact position of the hot spots a

41、nd routes of beauty. While one persons idea of beauty may differ from another，the computer scientists hope to develop an application with their program soon. 43. The underlined word Sat-navy probably refers to a（n） A. route B. program C. image D. experiment 44. Which of the following is the right or

42、der of creating the program? A. B. C.D.、 45. Which is true about the route recommended by the new program - 7 - A. Its much shorter but less pleasant. B. Its much shorter and more pleasant. C. Its a little longer but more pleasant. D. Its of the same length but more pleasant. 46. By examining the im

43、ages on Flickr，the computer scientists wanted to A. test a new application program B. make a new map of central London C. knock out the crowd-sourcing element D. find out what is generally believed to beautiful E The new robot guides at a Tokyo museum look so strangely human and speak so smoothly th

44、at they almost outdo people. Japanese robotics expert Ishiguro says they will be useful for research on how people interact with robots and on how humans are different from machines.“Making robots is about exploring what it means to be human，”he says，“examining the question of what is emotion，what i

45、s awareness，what is thinking.” In a demonstration，the remote-controlled machines moved their pink lips in time to a voice-overtwitched their eyebrows，blinked and swayed their heads from side to side. They stayed seated but could move their hands. In a clear triumph, Kodomoroid read the news without

46、stumbling（结巴）once and recited complex tongue-twisters. The robot，designed with a girlish appearance，can use a variety of voices，such as a deep male voice one minute and a soft girly voice the next. The speech can he input by text，giving them perfect pronunciation，according to Ishiguro. There were so

47、me faults（缺陷）一such as the lips not moving at all while the robot spokeor the Otonaroid announcer robot staying silent twice when asked to introduce itself. But faults are common with robots because they are delicate and sensitive to their environment. Kodomoroid and the woman robot Otonaroid were jo

48、ined at the demonstration by the minimally designed Telenoid，a man-like head with pointed arms that serves as a lovely companion. The two！ife-size robots，which have si！icon skin and artificial muscles，will be on display starting Wednesday，at a science museum in Tokyo，allowing the public to interact

49、with them extensively. Reflecting widespread opinion，Ishiguro said that Japan leads the world in playful - 8 - companion robots，while admitting its still behind America in military robots. Developing robots for more than 20 years，Ishiguro has made a point of creating robots that resemble the human a

50、ppearance，including creatures that look like him. He has sent them to give overseas lectures. 47.
