Chickens, cats, a dog, rabbits, and sometimes goats are just some of the animals she cares for. At the age of 9, Abbi went to the Tracy Animal Shelter, in her hometown of Tracy, California, to adopt Sheldon, her favorite cat. There, she saw the poor conditions that the animals were kept in. Abbi knew that it was her duty to take action.‎ Pins(识别号码) for Pets is Abbi’s solution. For the last three years, she has organized a bowling tournament to raise funds for the Tracy Animal Center. She has raised more than $30,000, resulting in a better home for the animals. “Now the shelter is nicer and cleaner and animals have more space. It is far better, a hundred percent better,” Abbi says.‎ To commend Abbi for her outstanding efforts, the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) named her the 2015 ASPCA Tommy P. Monahan Kid of the Year. This award is given to kids who make a substantial effort to help animals. Abbi responded to the news of her win with shock. “I was pretty excited. I'm really honored to receive it,” she says.‎ Sacrificing time and effort to assist animals can sometimes be difficult, but Abbi hopes to do more. “I just hope that even more people come and my non-profit becomes bigger. I want to spread my free services to more shelters. I really just hope people are kinder to animals and respect them more,” says Abbi, sharing her goals for her organization. By the age of 12, Abbi has already accomplished so much. ‎ The advice she has for kids like her, who want to accomplish their goals, is, “Nothing is impossible. You can do anything you put your mind to. Even if it is something small, it can make a huge difference.” Abbi’s work has improved the lives of animals, and she plans to keep coming up with new ways to help them.‎ ‎21.

Thanks to Domino’s Robotic Unit or DRU, that just became a reality! On March 8, the three-feet tall robot delivered its first pizza to some lucky residents in Brisbane, Australia.‎ The fully autonomous DRU is the result of a cooperation between Domino’s Pizza Australia and Sydney based startup Marathon Robotics. The 450-pound machine that travels at a maximum speed of 12.4 miles an hour can cross a distance of up to 12 miles and back, before requiring a battery recharge. LIDAR, a laser-based sensor technology similar to the one used in self-driving cars, enables DRU to detect and avoid obstacles, while traditional sensors, much like those used in vacuum robots ensure its path is safe as it heads to its destination.‎ The robot can fit up to ten pizzas and even has a separate cold area to accommodate drink orders. ‎ Equipped with both Google Maps and GPS guidance, DRU can navigate bike paths and sidewalks and also find the most efficient way to its destination. Since the robot does not have to ‎ deal with road traffic, it could potentially make deliveries a lot quicker than humans. To access their food, customers have to enter the unique code provided to them by the company. This not only ensures that they pick up the right pizza, but also prevents the pies from getting stolen en route.‎ Though Domino’s has thus far built just a single prototype(样机),they expect additional DRU to be ready for service in their various Queensland locations within the next six months. But don’t expect these super cute robots to replace humans anytime soon. According to Domino’s the DRU still needs extensive testing, which the company believes could take up to two years.‎ And then there is also the problem of regulations. The public use of autonomous vehicles is still banned in most countries. But Don Meij, the CEO and Managing Director of Domino’s Pizza Australia New Zealand Ltd, is not worried. One day DRU will become an integral part of the Domino’s family." We for one cannot wait!‎ ‎28. The first paragraph is mainly used to __________.‎ ‎ A. comment B. praise C. introduce D. conclude ‎29.

By using traditional sensors, much like those used in vacuum robots ‎30. What must a customer do to get the food delivered by DRU?‎ ‎ A. He/She should press their finger on a fingerprint scanner ‎ B. He/She should let the robot recognize his/her face ‎ C. He/She should scan the QR (quick response) code on the robot ‎ D. He/She should enter a cod supplied by the company ‎31.

Don Meij is the CEO of Sydney based startup Marathon Robotics ‎ D. The public use of autonomous vehicles is allowed in most parts of Australia D ‎ BEIJING---A bullying(欺凌)incident at a primary school in Beijing should not be bushed off as “a joke that went too far”; rather, faces should be dug out and action should be taken to prevent similar events from happening on campus again, according to experts.‎ ‎ Huang Zifang, a psychologist specializing in children's growth issues, said schools should be careful about taking bullying incidents as mere pranks(恶作剧).‎ ‎"Instead, they should work to find out the root cause of the incident in a timely manner, guide the children involved to face and handle the incident in a correct way and teach them to behave properly to avoid-similar situations," Huang said.‎ She made the comments after a mother in Beijing posted a description online on Thursday of how her 10-year-old son was bullied at Zhongguancun No 2 Primary School, a top school in Haidian district.‎ The mother wrote that her fourth-grade son was the target of bullies who threw a toilet wastepaper basket at him, striking him in the head. The boy was also mocked by his classmates, she said, bringing on acute stress disorder---a mental illness triggered by severe anxiety.‎ The mother also wrote that the school described the incident as "a joke that went too far" and that the parents of the boy who threw the basket believed their son was "just being naughty".‎ The article went viral, with many internet users recalling being bullied at school.‎ Shen Xua, a volunteer from Beijing who has traveled the country for several years to work with schools to reduce bullying, said schools should take responsibility for such incidents and try to make the bullies understand that their behavior is "vicious and harmful" and "not allowed".‎ ‎"In the long run, a reporting system should be established to root out bullying on campus. Students should be given specific channels to report what they experience to teachers before further measures are taken to deal with incidents," Shen said.‎ Huang, the psychologist, said that schools and parents must pay more attention to the ethical(道德的) development and mental health of children, rather than just looking at their academic performance.‎ On Saturday, Zhongguancun No 2 Primary School released a statement on its social media account saying that it had talked to the parents on both sides and would make further efforts to achieve an outcome satisfactory to all parties.‎ ‎32. What does Shen Xua stress according to the passage?‎ ‎ A. A reporting system should be set up to root out bullying on campus ‎ B. Schools should pay more attention to children’s academic performance ‎ C. parents should make the bullies understand their behavior is harmful ‎ D. Police should be often involved in dealing with bulling incidents at schools ‎33. How did the school in Beijing respond to the bullying incident according to Para. 6?‎ ‎ A. They didn’t take it seriously ‎ B. They blamed the bullies quickly ‎ C. They reported it to the police station at once ‎ ‎ D. They called the parents on both sides immediately ‎34. What is the possible meaning of the underlined word “mocked” in Para. 5?‎ ‎ A. Taught the skills for an activity ‎ B. Laughed at in an unfriendly way ‎ C. Made healthy again after an illness ‎ D. Inspired to do something new or unusual ‎35. What can be the best title for the news report?‎ ‎ A. Try to care about children’s ethical development ‎ B. How a 10-year-old child was bullied on campus ‎ C. Mental health of children should be paid attention to ‎ D. School bullying must not be treated as a joke 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。‎ ‎ In the business of day-to-day life, we often forget to stop and be grateful for the present moment. 36 It has many mental and physical benefits. If you want to work on being more grateful, try shifting your focus throughout the day. Work on practicing mindfulness, which can help you appreciate the present moment. You should also find a balance, allowing yourself to feel grateful.‎ ‎ 37 Mindfulness is also about paying attention to your breath. Breathing is a vital bodily function that we often do not notice throughout the day. Start making a conscious effort to focus ‎ on your own breathing.‎ Breathing is a natural process that follows a certain rhythm. Therefore, when our minds wander and stressful thoughts occur, focusing on the breath can help us stay calm. 38 .‎ Find a comfortable place to sit. 39 Think of three or four phrases that sum up your core desires. For example, you might come up with something like, “May I be happy in my pursuits. May I have good health. may I be calm and patient throughout the day.”‎ Say this prayer for yourself. 40 Direct it towards someone you are thankful for in your life. For example, “May my mother be happy in her pursuits. May my mother have good health, etc.”‎ A. Focus on the breath.‎ B. Then, direct it outwards.‎ C. As a result, we feel regretful later D. However, being grateful is important E. Find a number of things that can motivate you F. Close your eyes and imagine your wish for your life G.
