He said, “No”. We felt helpless. But suddenly we came up with an idea. There was a water tank (水箱) behind the mans house. I told Kavya, “We can climb onto the water tank and jump over the gate.” Kavya agreed, but we were both wearing skirts. We couldnt climb in those. “We can get it back tomorrow，” said Kavya.The next day we went there with Kavyas brother Vijay. He said, “Shout loudly if you need me.” Kavya climbed onto the water tank first and then she climbed down into the mans house. I followed her. We were looking under a bed for the ball when we heard a noise. It was Vijay. “Mother is calling you，” he said in a low voice.We hurried out taking the lost ball with us. Along with the ball was a surprise! But we had to leave the house quickly. When we reached Kavyas house, the TV was on. It was news time. I couldnt believe my ears when it said that 20 gold bars were stolen from a gold shop. They showed a picture of the gold bars, which were exactly like the one we had seen in the mans house.We told the story to Kavyas mother right away, and she called the police. Soon the police caught the man. They found all the gold bars in his house. A few days later a policeman came to us and said, “Thank you for helping us catch the guy. Here is a bag for all of you.” When we opened it, it was full of storybooks and lovely toys. Standing beside us, Kavyas mother was all smiles.24The children decided to climb over the water tank _.Aafter they were refused by the manBbecause their ball fell onto the tankCto see who was brave enough to do thatDbecause they wondered who the man was解析：选A细节理解题。由第一段中的“He said, “No”.

Just as important is navigating your social relationships, which can be a challenge when youre not always sure whos around you. Researchers at Birmingham City University, in the UK, are attempting to solve that_issue with a new cane that will help the visually impaired recognize people from up to 32 feet away.The researchers Waheed Rafiq, Steve Adigbo, and Richard Howlett are creating the XploR, a “smart” cane thats equipped with a camera, facial recognition software and GPS. The camera, located just below the handle, has a 270degree lens for capturing as much of the users environment as possible. The software built into the cane works based on a database of photos pulled from services like Gmail and Outlook, and people can add as many faces to the database as they want by taking photos with the canes camera.As soon as the camera notices a person, its software will begin scanning the face to see if theres a match. If the scanned image matches a portrait in the database, the corresponding name and location will be fed back to the cane carrier via a Bluetooth to send information.Rafiq says the additional features, like GPS, will allow people with weak eyesight to know directions more easily. The same imagecapture technique could help the blind identify and move around mon physical obstacles, too.Although a cane is cheap, a hightech one could be expensive. The technology, whether made into a cane or another device, has potential to solve a real problem experienced by blind people, particularly at large social gatherings. Its one thing to get from point A to point B safely; its a whole other thing to be able to say hello to the people you know.语篇解读：本文介绍了一款能够识别熟人的拐杖，在储存了人的照片后，当遇到熟人的时候，拐杖就能认出来，并且该拐杖还有导航功能。28.The underlined phrase “that issue” may refer to_.Aavoiding physical obstaclesBnavigating the social relationshipsCdesigning a new caneDmaking more people walk faster解析：选B细节理解题。根据前文提到的“Just as important is navigating your social relationships”和后面的“will help the visually impaired recognize people”可知B项正确。29Whom can the XploR recognize?AThe persons who created it.BThe persons whose photos are in it.CThe persons who are friends of the owner.DThe persons who have recognition software.解析：选B推理判断题。根据文章第二段最后一句和第三段可以得知这款设备能够认出那些已经先被储存过其照片的人。30What will the cane do firstly when it meets a person?AIt reminds the owner to say hello.BIt adds the portrait to its database.CIt produces sound to remind the owner.DIt scans the person to make a match.解析：选D细节理解题。根据第三段“As soon as the camera notices a person, its software will begin scanning the face to see if theres a match.”可以得知当拐杖遇到人的时候就会开始扫描，看是否能与已有数据匹配。故该题的正确答案为D。31We can conclude from the last paragraph that_.AXploR is necessary and usefulBXploR can make people healthyCXploR teaches people to say helloDXploR will be accessible to everyone解析：选A推理判断题。根据文章最后一段第二句的“has potential to solve a real problem .”以及“its a whole other thing to be able to say hello to .”可知新发明实用且有必要。DWhen Josh McFarland graduated from Stanford he owed $40,000 in student loans and couldnt find a way to ever pay it off not unusual for the typical young adults these days.

Then she moved on to Yelp, and he quit to start TellApart, which provides technology solutions for emerce (电子贸易) sites. Now 33, McFarland no longer has to think about his student loan: His pany has $17.75 million.McFarland is on the starting end of Generation Y, the group of people born in the United States after 1980 that are typically described as burdened with heavy student debts, underemployed and underpaid. More than a third of the 80 million Generation Yers live with their parents, according to the Pew Research Group. But McFarland is part of the sizeable minority that is doing quite well: nearly 12 million Generation Yers live in households that make more than $100,000, according to a survey. Many of them, in technology fields, live simple workbased life and are not burdened with heavy student debts held by doctors and lawyers.Discouraged by having watched the older generations suffer through the hard time of xx and that of xx, these young adults are viewing their quickly accumulating wealth differently. They dont seem as interested in the trappings of wealth, not are they concerned about their retirement accounts. They see money as a path to career freedom, where they can pick up and start again at will (随意) as soon as a more interesting offer es along. The whole idea from the Generation Yers is that they use their money instead to gain a little bit of control over what they work on.32.To start TellApart, Josh McFarland _.Abought its stock optionsBdecided to move on to YelpCgave up his job in GoogleDstarted an emerce business解析：选C细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Then she moved on to Yelp, and he quit to start TellApart”可知，乔什麦克法兰德的妻子到了Yelp，而他也从谷歌辞职开始创业，创建了TellApart。33Which of the following can best describe Josh McFarland?ALucky and patient.BCareful and brave.CCreative and courageous.DDetermined and sensitive.解析：选C推理判断题。根据文章第一段内容可知，乔什麦克法兰德身负债务到谷歌公司打工并获得股票购买权。几年之后，他卖掉股票并放弃自己在谷歌的工作开始创业，从这些不难看出他是非常有魄力和创造力的。34According to the text, a lot of Generation Yers_.Aare in heavy student debtBhate being doctors and lawyersClong to set up their own businessDdont know how to manage their wealth解析：选A细节理解题。根据第一段中的“. he owed $40,000 in student loans .not unusual for the typical young adults these days”和第二段中的“Generation Y, the group of people born in the United States after 1980 that are typically described as burdened with heavy student debts”可知，许多Y时代的人都借有学生贷款。35What does the author mainly argue for?AGeneration Yers value the lessons of their parents.BGeneration Yers have their own views about wealth.CGeneration Yers gain more control over the world.DGeneration Yers have different lifestyles from their parents.解析：选B主旨大意题。本文以乔什麦克法兰德为引子展开论述。乔什麦克法兰德是Y时代中比较成功的人物之一，从他的身上反映出很多这一代人的共同特点，特别是对待财富的观点与前几代人有所不同。第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。How to Know Yourself BetterMost of us believe that we know ourselves better than anyone in this world.
