    Robinson Crusoe is a famous novel written by Daniel Defoe. The book tells the story of a man who is shipwrecked (遭遇海难的). He spends 28 years on an island near Venezuela. The book tells the story of everything that happens to Robinson Crusoe. He hopes someone will rescue him, but he has been there for so long on his own that he also begins to fear being rescued.

    Robinson Crusoe was published in 1719. Most experts believe the story is based on the life of Alexander Selkirk, who was a Scottish sailor. On an expedition in 1704, Selkirk had an argument with his ship’s captain. Selkirk thought the ship was not safe and was about to fall apart.

    When the ship stopped at a remote island to get fresh water, Selkirk got off. He tried to get the other crew members to leave with him, but nobody would. The shop then sailed away without him. Selkirk spent four years and four months on his own on the island, known as Aguas Buenas.

    Selkirk was finally rescued by a ship that visited the island in 1709. The ship’s captain was grateful to Selkirk because he provided food for the crew when they arrived.

    Now archaeologists think they have found the remains of Selkirk’s camp on Aguas Buenas. They found two deep holes that would have held wooden posts. The archaeologists say this is evidence that Selkirk built a shelter there. The post holes are near a fresh water stream. They are located quite high up, which would have meant that Selkirk was able to watch out for the ships coming close to the island.

    The most interesting evidence, the archaeologists say, is part of a piece of equipment used by sailors to navigate (导航). Historians believe Selkirk was a navigator, so the instrument could have belonged to him.

    Robinson Crusoe was published ten years after Selkirk was rescued. Most experts think Daniel Defoe heard and read stories about Selkirk, which inspired him to write the book.

    1.Why did Selkirk choose to land on the remote island?

    A. Because he had quarrels with the crew members.

    B. Because the captain ordered him to get fresh water.

    C. Because he wanted to go on an adventure there.

    D. Because he thought the ship he was on was in danger.

    2.We can infer from the text that the ship that visited Aguas Buenas in 1709 _______.

    A. lost its way while sailing

    B. lacked fresh water upon arrival

    C. was being navigated by Selkirk

    D. was running out of food upon arrival

    3.How could Selkirk see ships that might rescue him, according to archaeologists?

    A. By asking the crew members on the ships.

    B. By sending messages to the ships’ captains.

    C. By watching from his shelter high on the island.

    D. By using a piece of equipment used to navigate.

    4.The author wrote the text to _______.

    A. explain the origin of Robinson Crusoe

    B. promote sales to Robinson Crusoe

    C. criticise Alexander Selkrik’s deeds

    D. praise Daniel Defoe for his writing inspiration

    There are some strange driving laws in different countries.

    Countries

    Laws

    Vietnam

    If you’re in Vietnam without a Vietnamese driver’s license, you risk a prison sentence of up to three years.

    Russia

    In Moscow, if your car is dirty enough to draw dust art, you will be fined about 2,000 rubles (about US 55 dollars). Worse yet, it’s illegal to wash your car by hand in public places – forcing you to take it to one of the few car wash facilities.

    Thailand

    Drivers – male or female – can’t drive shirtless whether it’s a car, bus, or a tuk-tuk cab.

    France

    France requires its drivers to carry a portable breathalyzer(便携式酒精测量仪) at all times when driving a car. The one-time breathalyzer cost around US 5 dollars, and if you don’t have one, you will be fined US 15 dollars.

    Cyprus

    Raising your hands in the car can get you fined of US 35 dollars. The law states a driver can be fined if the person “is in an irregular position inside the car or raises his hand from the steering wheel unnecessarily.”

    Japan

    Politeness isn’t just the culture in Japan; it is part of driving laws. Splashing(飞溅) a person by driving through a puddle（水坑) with your car will cost you over US 60 dollars. The country is also strict with its DUI (酒驾) laws – riding with or lending your car to a driver who gets caught drinking and driving can lead to a fine costing thousands of dollars.

    Contestants from around the world met in Pomona, California, this month to test their skills at things like driving a car, walking down stairs, and opening doors. Sounds easy, right? But the competitors weren’t people—they were robots!

    The bots were participating in(参加) the final round of the US’s DARPA(Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) Robotics Challenge. This event, which took place on June 5-6, tested robots on how well they could respond during a disaster and the winning team finally took home a $2 million grand prize.

    The DARPA challenge was created after the 2011 Fukushima nuclear disaster in Japan. An earthquake caused a tsunami, which damaged a nuclear power plant. Workers at the plant needed to shut off an important valve(阀门), but it was too dangerous for humans to reach it. The US scientists at DARPA wondered whether the disaster could have been avoided if a robot had been sent to do the job. So they set up the robotics competition.

    Turning a valve was just one task a robot might have to perform when entering a disaster zone. In addition to doing this, robots participating in the challenge had to navigate a course containing several other tasks: driving and exiting a vehicle, opening a door, walking over or clearing objects, cutting a hole in a wall, plus climbing a flight of stairs.

    Teams had to complete the challenge in one hour, and points were awarded based on how quickly the robots completed a task. They didn’t have to attempt all the tasks. To make things even more realistic, challenge organizers caused short computer-system blackouts(断电) that prevented robots and the human operators controlling them from communicating. That means teams had to program their robots to be partially autonomous(独立的). Robots also couldn’t be attached to anything that could keep them from falling down, which happened a lot.

    1.What do we know about this year’s DARPA challenge?

    A. It lasted five days.

    B. It was held in Japan.

    C. Its winner got a cash prize.

    D. Its winner will work in Fukushima.

    2.What does the underlined part “the job” in Paragraph 3 refer to?

    A. To open a door. B. To close a valve.

    C. To predict a tsunami. D. To rebuild a nuclear power plant.

    3.The robots that participated in the US’s DARPA challenge were required to _____.

    A. challenge all the tasks

    B. have a good sense of smell

    C. complete their tasks in an hour

    D. act in the dark in the whole process

    4.What is the text mainly about?

    A. A nuclear disaster. B. A research program.

    C. A robotics competition. D. A scientific organization.

    In the fall of 1985. I was a bright-eyed girl heading off to Howard University, aiming at a legal career and dreaming of sitting on a Supreme Court bench somewhere. Twenty-one years later I am still a bright-eyed dreamer and one with quite a different tale to tell.

    My grandma, an amazing woman, graduated from college an the age of 65. She was the first in our family to reach that goal. But one year after I started college, she developed cancer. I made the choice to withdraw from college to care for her. It meant that school and my personal dream would have to wait.

    Then I got married with another dream: building my family with a combination of adopt and biological children. In 1999, we adopted our first son. To lay eyes on him was fantastic---and very emotional. A year later came our second adopted boy. Then followed son No. 3. In 2003, I gave birth to another boy.

    You can imagine how fully occupied I became, raising four boys under the age of 18. Our home was a complete zoo---a joyous zoo. Not surprising, I never did make it back to college full-time. But I never gave up on the dream either. I had only one choice: to find a way. That meant talking as few as one class each semester.

    The hardest part was feeling guilty about the time I spent away from the boys. They often wanted me to stay home with them. There certainly were times I wanted to quit, But I knew I should set an example for them to follow through the rest of their lives.

    In 2007, I graduated from the University of North Carolina. It took me over 21 years to get my college degree！

    I am not special, just single-minded. It always struck me that when you’re looking at a big challenge from the outside it looks huge, but when you’re in the midst of it, it just seems normal. Everything you want won’t arrive in your life on one day. It’s a process. Remember；little steps add up to big dreams.

    1.When the author went to Howard University, her dream was to be ( )

    A. a writer B. a teacher C. a judge D. a doctor

    2.Why did the author quit school in her second year of college? ( )

    A. She wanted to study by herself.

    B. She fell in love and got married.

    C. She suffered from a serious illness.

    D. She decided to look after her grandma.

    3.Which of the following can best describe the author ? ( )

    A. Caring and determined.

    B. Honest and responsible.

    C. Ambitious and sensitive.

    D. Innocent and single-minded.
