【題目】 “It’s only two weeks till we go!” Laura said excitedly.

“Oh, yeah. Hm!”

“I just can’t wait to show you the White Water Park – it’s the most amazing fun in that area!”

“I bet. Yeah! It must be.”

“It’s just great that Mum and Dad said you could come. It’ll be so much better than being on my own with Toby and Matt. They are so boring and they just want to play computer all day.”

“Er …” Rupa hesitated. “It is unbelievable that your mum and dad invited me. It was so kind of them. It’s even more amazing that my parents said I could go … but …”

“Yeah! I didn’t think they would either. I mean, they didn’t even want you to come skating when we went for Annie’s party, did they?”

“No – well, they are a bit crazy about homework, you know.”

“I hope we’re in the Lakeside House. You can watch birds with huge wings flapping over the lake while you have breakfast.”

“Hm! Sounds good . Er …”

“Er what? You’re not sounding all that excited any more. You haven’t changed your mind?”

“Er …”

“Roops! What is it? What’s happened?”

“Well, nothing exactly happened …”

“Well, then, what? You’re my bestest friend!”

“I know! And you’re mine! It’s just …”

“WHAT?”

Rupa paused. She drew a deep breath.

“Leon’s coming from America. He gets in the day we’re supposed to be going away. He leaves the day we get back. If I come away with you, I will miss him. Completely!”

Laura went very pale.

“Oh no. And I will miss him too!” The girls stood in silence, both of them heartbroken, thinking of Rupa’s film-star cousin and how they had dreamed of meeting him.

【題目】

It was at least two months before Christmas when nine-year-old Almie Rose told her father and me that she wanted a new bicycle. As Christmas drew nearer, her desire for a bicycle didn’t seem that strong, so we bought the most popular present for little girls, Baby Sitter’s Club dolls and a doll house.

Then, out of our expectation, on December 23, Almie said that she “really wanted a bike more than anything else”. It was just too late. With all the details of preparing Christmas dinner and buying last minute gifts, how could we have time to select the “right bike” for our little girl?

So, here we were Christmas Eve around 9:00 p.m., with Almie and her six-year-old brother, Dylan, ready for sleep in their beds. Now we could only think of the bicycle and the disappointment of our child.

“If I make a little bicycle out of clay (黏土) and write a note that she could trade (用…抵換) the clay model in for a real bike, what do you think?” her dad asked.

“Well, for now, I think this is the best thing we can do. And she is ‘such a big girl’, so I think she will like it.”

So Almie’s dad spent the next four hours working with clay to make a tiny bike. On Christmas morning, we were excited for Almie to open the little heart-shaped package with the beautiful red and white clay bike and the note. Finally, she opened it and read the note aloud.

“Does this mean that I trade in this bike that Daddy made me for a real one?”

Smiling, I said, “Yes.”

Almie had tears in her eyes when she replied, “I could never trade in this beautiful bicycle that Daddy made me. I’d rather keep this than get a real bike.”

At that moment, we wanted to buy her every bicycle on the planet.

【1】When did Almie first ask for a new bike? _____________.

【2】What caused Almie’s parents to buy her the most popular present for little girls? ______.

【3】Why was it too late for Almie’s parents to buy a bike for her on December 23? ______.

【4】What kind of bike did Almie get on Christmas morning? _______________________.

【5】What did Almie think of the present in the little heart-shaped package? ____________.

【6】What is the implied (隱含的) meaning of the underlined sentence? _________________.

【題目】Robotic Pets

I am going to predict how people are going to be with future technology in their life. I think robotic pets are going to be increasingly popular as the technology develops. At least I am going to build what I think is a strong case for this prediction.

From a neurological point of view, I do not see anything in the　way to people bonding (紐帶) fully with robotic pets. The human　brain can attach (賦予) emotions to things and respond to emotional signaling. Being alive is simply not required. From how objects move, our brains infer that they are able to act with their own will　and purpose. If they move in a way that cannot be explained simply as passive (被動的) movement, then they must be moving on their own. Therefore, they　can connect to the emotional centers in our brains. We either fear them, or love them, or　hunger for them, or whatever. We can respond emotionally with cartoon creatures, with　animals, and yes, even with robots. Our brains treat things that act alive as if they are　alive—no different.

One of the opposite points that people often bring up is that they love the way their pets behave, not just look. This gets to AI, which has been developing at a fast pace. We have AI that can beat world masters in chess and go. I have no doubt we can build AI to mimic (模仿) the behavior of dogs and cats, if not now then probably within a generation.

So we will have no problem fully emotionally bonding with a robotic pet. But this doesn't mean we would prefer such a pet. One argument against robotic pets is that they will be expensive compared to a live pet—but this is likely not to be true forever. Living pets need to be fed, and they need at least basic medical care, and they may need to be boarded at times. Also, people spend hundreds of dollars on pets, __________or thousands of dollars on purebred species. Robotic pets will finally cost less in total than biological ones.

But let's get to the real reason people will prefer robotic pets at last. The possibilities for building in useful technology are endless. An advanced robotic pet could also serve as a defensive and alarm system. You could recharge your cell phone off their batteries. They could be a walking cell phone. They would be excellent companions for the elder, affording them more independence for longer. This in itself would be a huge cost saving—anything that keeps people out of a nursing home is cost effective.

Imagination is really the only limitation, once you have the basics of a working robot. When the technology crosses a certain limit, this will be a thing. Future generations may consider keeping a living animal in your home as primitive (原始的) and cruel. They may have a point.

【1】Why can we bond fully with robotic pets?

A.They can respond to our reactions.

B.They can move actively and freely.

C.Our brains can treat things differently.

D.Our brains can attach emotions to them.

【2】According to the passage, we know that 　　　　.

A.robotic pets will be cost effective in the future

B.present AI can mimic all the behaviors of live pets

C.the elder prefer to have robotic pets as companions

D.the young think it primitive and cruel to keep live pets

【3】The writer probably agrees that 　　　　.

A.live pets will serve us better

B.it is easier to keep live pets at home

C.technology ensures robotic pets a bright future

D.imagination limits the development of robotic pets
