2．One North Carolina business owner is helping the homeless by opening up his parking lot to people who may be living out of their cars.
James Charles is the owner of Kiplin's Automotive Group in Charlotte，North Carolina.For about two months，he has been encouraging people sleeping in their cars to use the company's parking lot as a safe place to sleep at night.
Charles was first encouraged to do something helpful after his team tried to take back a woman's car back in January.
"The gentleman who was taking back the car said， 'we can't take the car：there's
somebody living in the car，""Charles told WBTV.
Then he tried to get the woman into a homeless shelter（收容所）.But he was shocked to find that every shelter in the city was full.Although he paid for her to stay in a hotel for a few nights，he knew that there were other people suffering from the same thing .
Charles made a Facebook post："We would like to provide a safe place for those going through this tough time.We can't put everyone in a hotel，but we can get you a safe place for the night.
Since more and more people have shared his post，people have donated（捐赠） hats，scarves，food，and even an easy-to-move toilet for the parking lot.Not only that，but about 20 different people have helped Charles with his offer by parking their cars overnight at the lot.
These kind acts also made it possible for Charles to start his non-profit（非盈利的）organization，HALO Now.The organization was set up to raise money for the homeless people of Chariotte-and he has raised more than US＄30，000.

3．The world's elderly population is increasing.The number of older people ---those age 60 years or older --is expected to double by 2050 and is growing faster than all younger age groups across the globe. That comes with an increasing need for caregivers which can provide 24-hour care，not only at hospitals or nursing homes，but also at private homes.
Already，caregiving robots are programmed to ask questions a nurse would ask and can keep an eye on patients for falls These robotic assistants are expected to become increasingly marketable and reach 450，000 by 2045 because of the expected caregiver shortage in the USA.
"Unluckily，the hard structure of present caregiving robots prevents them from a safe human-robot interaction（互动），limiting their assistance to only social interaction and not Physical interaction，"said Ramses Martinez，an assistant professor in Purdue's College of Engineering."After all，would you leave babies or old people in the hands of a robot？"
Recent advances in material science have enabled the production of soft robots with deformable（可变形的）bodies or the ability to reshape when touched，but today the complex （复杂的）design prevents the use of this technology at home.
However，Martinez and other researchers have developed a new design method which shows promise in enabling the production of soft robots using a 3 D printer.
The design process has three steps.First，a user makes a computer-aided design file（文件）with the shape of the robot.The user then paints the file to show which directions the different joints of the soft robot will move.It takes the computer a few seconds to change the computer-aided model into a 3-D soft machine that can be printed using any 3-D printer.
"The soft machines move like humans.Their ability to change their body structure and movement to adapt（适应） to a wide variety of environments will improve caregiving greatly."says Martinez.
The researchers are looking for partners to test and bring their technology to market.
（1）What does the underlined word "That" in Paragraph 1 refer to？
A．The younger age group.
B．The group of older people.
C．The population across the globe.
D．The growth of the elderly population.
（2）What is the disadvantage of the present caregiving robots？
A．They can't provide safe physical interaction.
B．They can't communicate with patients.
C．They can't watch patients for falls.
D．They can't provide 24-hour care.
（3）What do we know about Martinez's new design method？
A．It requires a special kind of 3 D printer.
B．It makes the production of soft robots simpler.
C．It has been put onto the market.
D．It is hard for users to master.
（4）What is the text mainly about？
A．The robot industry in the future.
B．Effects of population ageing.
C．Robots for the elderly created with 3 D printers.
D．The development of caregiving robots.组卷：0引用：1难度：0.5 -
4．Although vaccines （疫苗）are required for entry into school in most places in the United States，the government does allow for exceptions，like religious reasons．
In the last few years，the rates of vaccine-preventable illness have been on the rise．In most cases，these outbreaks began with children who were unvaccinated．To deal with this threat，some schools in New York have been refusing to allow unvaccinated children to attend school．Several parents thought this was unfair and charged．Just recently，though，a court ruled in favor of the city schools．
The court made the right decision．Vaccine policy depends not only on the added protection that vaccines provide for those who get shots，but also on the decreased probability that anyone will come into contact with the disense． 'This is known as community immunity （免疫力）．It refers to the fact that when enough people are immunized，then there really can't be an outbreak，And if there can't be an outbreak，then everyone is protected．
This is important because there are people who cannot be given immunizations for various reason's，For example，small babies can't be given all vaceines．In 1995，the chickenpox（水痘） vaccine was introduced in the United States．Over time，more and more children received it，In 2011，a study looked at how the program affected the number of children who died from the disease．
The first thing noted in the paper was that death from chickenpox went down considerably after the vaccine was introduced．From 2001 through 2007，the rates of death remained much lower，with just a few children dying from chickenpox nationally each year．
What's more，from 2004 through 2007，not one child less than 1 year of age died in the United States from chickenpox．This is important because we cannot give the chickenpox vaccine to babies．In other words，all those babies were saved not because we vaccinated them against this illness，but because older children were vaccinated．
Therefore，people who refuse to vaccinate their children aren't just putting themselves at risk -- they're putting everyone else in danger，too．
（1）Whose benefit did the judges take into consideration？
A．School leaders'．
B．Students'．
C．Several parents'．
D．Unvaccinated kids'．
（2）What is needed to prevent disease outbreaks through community immunity？
A．Requiring everyone to be immunized．
B．Vaccinating babies as early as possible．
C．Making sure enough people are vaccinated．
D．Separating unvaccinated people from the vaccinated．
（3）What does the study in 2011 about the chickenpox vaccine show？
A．The vaccine is safe for every kid．
B．No deaths have been found since .2004．
C．The vaccine has decreased the death rale．
D．The vaccine is even more effective for babies．
（4）Which of the following does the author agree with？
A．No vaccine，no risk．
B．No vaccine，no school．
C．Vaccination is a personal choice．
D．Vaccine-preventable illness is dropping．组卷：2引用：2难度：0.4 -
5．In the villages of Mexico，as in some other parts of the world，shopping is a kind of game.In the fine department stores，of course，buyers pay the prices listed on the tags（标签）. （1）

The merchant's way of doing business is much older than the supermarket way.It dates back to Old World times when the town market was the only place where people could exchange news and visit with friends.（5）In Mexico today，bargaining still makes life interesting for some merchants.
A.The buyers found bargaining really interesting.
B.Bargaining made their lives a little more colorful.
