She compared herself with her classmates. Some were amazing at sports or dancing. Some had lots of friends. Lily often thought, “Why can’t I be like them?” This question felt like a puzzle she had never solved. One day, Lily found a puzzle game online—The Perfect You. Curiously, Lily clicked it and there was a puzzle piece with a green light on the screen. Suddenly, the puzzle piece spoke, “What makes you happy?” Lily gasped (倒吸气) and quickly closed the website, too scared to answer. She tried to forget about it, but that night, the shining puzzle piece appeared in her mind. Lily couldn’t sleep. The next morning, Lily thought for a long time and opened the game again. Then, she answered the question she saw on the screen yesterday, “I feel happy when I play with Meria.” To her surprise, the puzzle piece flew to its correct place. Then, a second puzzle piece appeared, shining even brighter, and asked, “What are you proud of?” Lily thought for a long time before answering. “I’m proud of myself when I help other kids.” The puzzle piece flew to its correct place just like the first one. Day by day, more puzzle pieces appeared, each asking a question. Sometimes it was easy to answer. Sometimes it wasn’t. Finally, the last puzzle piece appeared. It asked, “Do you feel left out sometimes?” Lily froze. “I don’t know.” But then she remembered when her friends worked together and didn’t include her. Then, Lily remembered her mom telling her: “It’s OK to feel alone sometimes. Everyone gets to choose their friends, but don’t give up on yourself.” Taking a deep breath, Lily said, “Yes, I feel left out sometimes, but I know it’s OK.” The whole puzzle shined and turned into a shiny mirror. Instead of showing someone “perfect”, the mirror reflected Lily’s own smiling face with the words: Be yourself. Lily felt warmth spread through her. She realized she didn’t need to be like Sarah, Jake, or Meria. She just needed to be herself. 24. How did Lily feel when she heard the puzzle piece speak at first? A. Interested. B. Scared. C. Excited. D. Curious. 25. When does Lily feel proud of herself? A. When she helps other kids. B. When she plays with Meria. C. When she wins a puzzle game. D. When she finishes her homework alone. 26. What can we learn from Lily’s story? A. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. B. Nothing is difficult if you set your mind to it. C. Comparison can steal your joy, so just be yourself. D. True happiness comes from having a lot of friends. C Should People Become Cyborgs? In the marvel comics and movies, millionaire Tony Stark wears a red and gold suit and becomes Iron Man. The suit provides superhuman strength, protection against most attacks, the power of flight, and much more. Iron Man is just a story. But robotic suits are not. Engineers call them exoskeletons (外骨骼). They don’t look as cool as Tony Stark’s Iron Man suits. They typically look like a backpack. But they have changed the lives of many people with injuries or illnesses that affect movement. A disease had paralyzed (使瘫痪) Stacey Kozel and she could not walk anymore. But in 2016, she used an exoskeleton to go hiking. Also, people who do tiring or repetitive jobs, like moving heavy boxes in a warehouse, sometimes use exoskeletons to lessen the load (减轻负荷). You can probably think of a time when you wished you could lift more, jump higher, or run faster. Today’s exoskeletons are expensive. They need to be charged (充电) regularly and can usually help people to do only one type of movement (for example, lifting or walking). But in the future, things might be different. Brendan Quinlivan works on exoskeletons at Harvard University. He says that five years in the future, a hard exoskeleton could really help you. He says it might allow you to flip over a car or pick up a big tree trunk. You could become a lot like Iron Man. That would be cool. But some people worry that the technology could divide humanity. In 2008, new swimsuits helped swimmers go faster than ever before. But swimmers couldn’t compete fairly without the latest suit technology. So the International Swimming Federation banned (禁用) the suits. People who can afford exoskeletons will be stronger and faster than those who cannot. They’d be able to work faster and achieve more than those without suits. We could end up with two classes of humanity: the super humans and everybody else. That wouldn’t be fair. But life already isn’t fair. Plenty of people have advantages over others thanks to their wealth, health, or strength. Right now, exoskeletons are helping to even the playing field for people with disabilities. That’s a great thing. Also, people could use their unfair advantage to help or protect others. For example, rescue workers could move heavy debris (碎片). What do you think? If we ever have Iron Man suits, will they harm or benefit humanity? What would you use an Iron Man suit for? 27. According to the passage, what we can learn? A. Exoskeletons push labor workers to move heavy items. B. The idea of creating exoskeletons comes from Iron Man. C. Exoskeletons can help disabled people to stand and walk. D. The price of future exoskeletons is likely to be even higher. 28. The writer mentions “swimsuits” to show that ________. A. every swimmer needs such suits to compete fairly B. the new technology could help swimmers go faster C. the new technology could make the competition unfair D. banning the high-tech swimsuits is a right decision to make 29. What is the writer’s main purpose of writing this passage? A. To tell us the benefits and problems of using exoskeletons. B. To show us the various forms of unfairness that exist in the society. C. To predict what the future technology will be like in daily life and work. D. To encourage us to use different types of exoskeletons more often in practice. 四、阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题（共8分，每小题2分） Jane Goodall As a young girl, Jane Goodall loved to watch animals and read stories about them. She dreamed of living in Africa one day and writing stories about wild animals. When she was old enough, Jane worked and saved her money. When she had saved enough, she went on a trip to Africa. In Africa, Jane met Dr. Louis Leakey, a famous scientist. When Jane met Dr. Leakey, he needed help with an important new animal study. The study would look at how chimpanzees behave. Dr. Leakey asked Jane to work on the chimpanzee study with him. To work on the study, Jane and her mother moved to the country of Tanzania. They lived with chimpanzees in the Gombe Forest. At first, most of the chimps in Gombe were afraid of Jane. Only a chimp she had named David trusted her. He let Jane meet his family group. Jane wrote notes as she watched the chimps every day. Her notes upset many scientists. They had their own beliefs and ideas about how chimps behaved. Jane said chimps were smart. She said they used sticks as tools to dig up bugs to eat. She also said chimps showed feelings, as humans do. Jane’s work made some scientists think again about their old beliefs and ideas about chimps. They saw that some of their old ideas might be wrong. Some scientists agreed with Jane. After many years in Gombe, Jane became very worried. People were cutting down trees in the Gombe Forest. Hunters were stealing baby chimps. Jane knew what she had to do. She talked about her work with many people all around the world. She asked them for help to save the chimps and the forest. People trusted Jane and helped to support her work in Gombe. Over fifty years she kept working to protect the forest and the chimpanzees from harm. 30.
