Ed and I, plus his parents and sister Doris and eight-year-old niece Alisha, are on a road trip to Yosemite. Ed wants Subway, I want. In-N-Out Burger, Doris wants Sonic. In the end, we promise on McDonalds, where Alisha will get an action figure.Its a three-hour drive to Yosemite, but were taking a little longer, as were working in a tour of Highway 80s public restrooms. As the saying goes, “Not one bladder（膀胱）empties but another fills.” Many of these restrooms belong to gas stations. I prefer them to the high-tech ones on planes.We get back on the road. Ed is driving now. When all the tabloids（小报）have been read, the travel has grown tedious and anyone under age 12 asks “Are we there yet?” at ever-shortening internals. Just outside Manteca, California, we stop for coffee. At a Starbucks checkout, Ed buys a CD of Joni Mitchells favorite musical picks. The hope is that it will have a calming effect.As we pull back onto the highway, it starts to pour. Then something amazing happens. As we climb the mountain, the rain turns to snow. The pines are spotted with white. Were struck dumb（说不出话）by the scene outside. For a solid 15 minutes, everyone forgets about their bladder, their blood sugar and the temperature. Alisha has never seen snow, so we pull over to make snowmen and catch snowflakes on our tongues. Then Ed realizes we need tire chains, and we have to turn back and drive 30miles to Oakhurst. “Good,” says Doris. “There was a very nice restroom there.”24. Where does the family have lunch?A.

Except for its flowers, the plant looks like spaghetti, a kind of noodles in the shape of long thin pieces that look like string when they are cooked. Its almost leafless, thread-like stems（茎）hang down on top of other plants that dodder needs to stay alive. Dodder does not produce its own food. Instead, it steals food from other plants. It feeds by sucking juices from the plant which is wrapped around, often making its host very weak or even killing it.Dodder can find other plants by their smell. When a young dodder plant starts growing, it follows the smell of plants it prefers, like tomato plants, potato plants, or other farm crops. Unlike most plants that usually grow in the direction of light or warmth, a dodder plant will grow in the direction of, for example, tomato smell-if a tomato happens to be growing nearby.However, a young dodder plant must find a host plant quickly. It no longer needs its root once it is attached to the host and wrapped around it. If it cannot catch a smell of a potential host within a few days, it will dry up and disappear-even if there is plenty of water around. Once it finds a host, the young dodder plant will attach itself to it and start growing faster. At that point the dodder plant will drop its root.Dodder is thus a difficult weed to manage and a real headache for farmers. When it does get out of hand, dodder can greatly reduce a farmers harvest or even destroy crops pletely. Before sowing their produce, especially farmers in warm parts of the world often check to make sure no unwanted dodder seeds have mixed with their crop seeds. This is a good way to stop dodder plants from making their way to a crop field secretly.28. Why does the author mention spaghetti in the first paragraph?A. To analyze the content of some food.B. To describe tie shape of dodder plants.C. To explain where the dodder plants e from.D. To argue that dodder plants can be used.29. What will happen if a dodder plant starts growing where there are no other plants around?A. It will die sooner or later.B. It will grow deep roots.C. It will attract other plants.D. It will cover the entire area of soil.30. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Dodder does not produce its own food.B. Dodder can affect farmers ine.C. Dodder can only survive in the shade.D. Dodder only grows in the warm areas.31. What is the main topic of the passage?A. A new variety of farm crops.B. Plants that are harmful to humans.C. The special abilities of a dangerous plant.D. Recent improvements in farming methods.DAnki has introduced Cozmo, a little robot powered by an advanced artificial intelligence. Cozmo promises to be for more interactive（互动的）than any toy robot.Cozmo , which can lie in your hand, has a “brain”-technically its CPU-that can process data amazingly fast. In addition, Cozmo has a playful personality. Hes designed to react to emotions and even ask users to play with him.Cozmo is not the first interactive toy to reach the market nor is it the first robot toy. What sets Cozmo apart from the other “smart toys” is that it has greater play value than those toys, which can bee repetitious all too quickly.“Every interaction with Cozmo is different, so you do not put up with repetitive play patterns and responses typically found with other preprogrammed robots,” explained Anki spokesperson Peter Nguyen. Because it has functionality that is similar to that of video games, Cozmo also can receive regular updates, which could extend its playability. Still, Anki has designed this toy to be just that: a toy. Its not an advanced puterized robot. Its software is app-based.Cozmo lacks the “traditional” human-like robot form factor（要素）of legs, arms, and a head. But Cozmo does have an OLED screen/face with blue eyes, which in fact were designed to help it connect with its user.“Im glad my kids are already raised,” said Roger L. Kay, analyst at Endpoint Technologies Associates. “Otherwise, they might bee more antisocial if their relationship with Cozmo is more satisfying than those with real people,” said Kay. “Cozmo might encourage kids to learn more about technology or even inspire them to try programming and similar studies,” said Charles King, analyst at Pund-IT.Yet this technology does promise to be more than a toy. “Its a pretty cool invention and might have further applications, for example in elder care,” suggested Kay.32. What do we know about the appearance of Cozmo?A. It is small-sized.B. It is hand-shaped.C. It has colorful eyes.D. It looks similar to a traditional robot.33. What makes Cozmo different from other “smart toys”?A. It avoids repetition.B. It is the first robot toy.C. It can interact with users.D. It has app-based software.34. How might Cozmo help kids?A. By encouraging them to value toys.B. By exciting their interest in technology.C. By reminding them to take care of seniors.D. By helping them municate with others.35. What is the best title for the text?A. A new way of inspiring kids.B. An advanced puter robot.C. The development of toy robots.D. A playmate wanting to know you.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。Are you suffering from FOMOthat is, Fear Of Missing Out?
