When we see babies or pets, we can’t help gently touching them to show our love．And they give us happy feelings back．But a recent study shows that it’s different for plants．

In fact,  ▲ ．That’s because touching changes their genes and, even worse, can slow their growth．Professor Jim Whelan of the La Trobe Institute in Australia gave an explanation．“The lightest touch from a human, or even plants touching each other in the wind, leads to a huge gene change in the plant.”

In order to test the idea, the scientists did an experiment on plants．They grew a number of plants to the age of four weeks．Then they touched them with a paintbrush every 12 hours over a 36-hour period．They found that as a result, the mitochondria (线粒体) in the plants had been partly hurt．The mitochondria are the “powerhouse of the cell”．The mitochondria produce energy for the rest of the cell in both animals and plants．If this “powerhouse” is weakened, the plants will lose a large amount of energy that should have supported their growth．Whelan further explained, “If the touching is repeated, then plant growth is reduced by up to 30 percent.” According to Science Alert, repeated touching or moving plants will make them grow shorter than others．

Although the touching does have a strong effect on plants, it’s not always bad．The researches believe, in some ways, it could be helpful．It may help plants fight against insects and bad weather．The new research findings have led to a deeper understanding of the plants’ reply to touching．And the research might also “open up new ways to optimize (优化) growth in the future.” Science Alert reported.

14．Which of the following is the best for “ ▲ ” in Paragraph 2?

A．people like touching plants

B．plants don’t “like” to be touched

C．plants won’t grow if they are touched

D．people should touch plants as much as possible

15．How many times did people touch the plants during the experiment?

A．1.                    B．3.                          C．6.                          D．12.

16．According to the passage, scientists found that repeated touching could ________.

A．shorten the life of plants

B．help plants produce more energy

C．make plants grow more slowly

D．cause the death of plants

17．The main purpose of the passage is to tell us ________.

A．to touch plants often to show our love

B．some ways of helping plants grow better

C．advantages and disadvantages of touching plants

D．the differences of touching the plants and the animals

About fifteen years ago, Andrew McLindon, a successful businessman as well as a cyclist, was riding his bike as usual in Austin, Texas, when he thought about a friend’s 12-year-old son．The boy had never known the joy of biking because he suffered from a serious disease in the brain, which often causes balance (平衡) problems.

When he got home, McLindon went online and found a three-wheel shaped bike with a seat belt, perfect for a child with balance problems.

Soon the boy was riding around the street with his friends, having fun and getting exercise at the same time．But there was more, as McLindon read from his friend’s expression．“To see his son communicating with other kids,” McLindon says．“I’ll never forget the smile on his face.”

That smile lit the McLindon Family Foundation (基金会) called the Bike Project．With great efforts, the foundation works with some local hospitals to search for children who can get help from owning such a bike, which can meet the special needs of the child．The bike includes a part of seat that supports a person’s head, a seat belt and a braking (刹车) part in the back．The bike is expensive—$3,000 to $4,000, and that’s a present with the foundation’s huge support．It’s enough lucky for kids to get one.

“We worked with a 14-year-old girl who has spina (脊柱) disease,” says McLindon．“She spent most days on the couch watching TV．Soon after she got her bike, she was training for special-needs sports．In a magazine interview, she said, ‘I always knew there was a player in me.’ ”

So far, the foundation has given away 450 bikes, and that’s just a start．“I do a lot of things．I run a lot of companies,” McLindon says．“But getting these kids their bikes is the most important thing that I do.”

18．McLindon started the McLindon Family Foundation because ________.

A．he wanted kids to fall in love with riding

B．he was satisfied with his friend’s experience

C．the foundation could offer the local kids better life

D．the joys of the boy woke him to care about more kids

19．From the underlined sentence in Paragraph 5, we can infer ________.

A．she got used to the life sitting on the couch

B．the Bike Project is a life changer to a kid like her

C．she always knew it was not easy to live with dreams

D．the Bike Project has raised money to help treat her disease

20．Which of the following can best describe McLindon?

A．Warm-hearted.  B．Wide-minded.         C．Strong-willed.         D．Well-educated.

21．What is the best title for this passage?

A．A Beautiful Smile of a Father

B．A Terrible Disease in Brain

C．The Success of a Businessman

D．The Special Bike to the Kids

Imagine an island where there are a greater number of cats than there are people．Does it sound like something from a cartoon or a manga (日本漫画) story? Welcome to Tashirojima, a small island in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Japan．It’s a great place to be a cat．Not only does the cat population number in the thousands, much larger than the island’s human population of about 100, but these cats are taken care of by both local people and tourists．

The Japanese love cats．There are cat shrines (神庙) all over Japan．and many of the country’s folk tales feature cats as well．___▲____?

At one time, the island’s main industry was fishing．The fishing nets were made of silk, and the fishermen raised silkworms to produce the silk for these nets．They kept cats around to kill mice, which were the predators of the silkworms．In order to get food．the cats would also visit the hotels where the fishermen from other islands would be staying．The fishermen became fond of the cats and started watching them all the time, thinking that the cats’ actions could tell them the weather or the movements of the fish in the ocean．

A story is told that one day, a fisherman was collecting rocks to hold down his fishing net when one of the rocks dropped from his hands and accidentally killed a cat．The fisherman felt so bad about it that he buried (埋葬) the cat in the center of the island and built a shrine to cats there．The shrine is called Neko-jinja, and by leaving offerings for the cat god”, fishermen hope for a good catch and for their safety．

Word soon spread about Cat Island, and tourists came together to see and play with the thousands of cats that would walk down the island’s streets or sit on the doorsteps of people’s homes．Japanese manga artist Shotaro Ishinomori built several manga-related buildings on the island, most of which looked like cats．These developed into a tourist attraction, with guests staying in the cat-shaped houses．Since then, many movies, television series and documentaries have been made about Tashirojima, which has helped bring in even more visitors．

So the next time you see a cat lover looking for the “purrfect” vacation spot, recommend to them a trip to Tashirojima, Japan’s Cat Island.

22．What information can we get from this passage?

A．The exact number of cats on Cat Island.

B．The reason why Neko-jinjia got its name.

C．The method of building cat-shaped houses.    

D．The material of fishing nets in earlier times.

23．Which of the following sentences is the most suitable for ___▲____?

A．But where can we see the most cats in Japan?

B．But how did Tashirojima get to be Cat Island?

C．So why do Japanese people love cats so much?

D．So who built the first cat shrine on Tashirojima?

24．What does the underlined word “predators” in paragraph 3 probably mean?

A．enemies           B．friends                   C．producers               D．protectors

25．What’s the main purpose of the passage?

A．To introduce Cat Island in Japan.

B．To tell us the history of Cat Island.

C．To show us the life of cats in Japan.

D．To encourage people to protect cats.

It’s highly possible that robots will be used to help human teachers in the near future．That’s according to a study by scientists from universities in the USA, Japan and Europe．The study has looked up more than 100 published articles, which have shown robots to be effective (有效) in increasing learning results.

Because of pressures on teaching budgets (预算), and calls for more personalized teaching, scientists have started to build robots for the classroom-not the robots used to learn about technology and math, but social robots that can actually teach．The study shows robots are skilled in teaching certain subjects, such as vocabulary and numbers.

Robots can free up time for teachers, allowing them to focus on what people still do best.

Recent developments in China may provide us with a glimpse (一瞥) of the future.

The Hong Kong-based English language newspaper, South China Morning Post, has reported some kindergartens (幼儿园) across China have used AI robots to help interact with their pupils.

The AI robots interact with the young children by playing games with them, singing, dancing, reading stories, carrying out conversations and even doing math.

Since 2016, the AI robots have been used in about 200 kindergartens across China, the newspaper reported．

So can we expect to see robots helping us at school? How soon will it be before you see a robot in a classroom near you?

54．How many kindergartens have the AI robots been used in across China since 2016?

55．According to the study, what subjects are robots good at teaching?

56．Do you think robots will take place of (代替) teachers in the classroom in the future? Why or why not?
