Arjun's Apps
One stormy day, twelve-year-old Arjun Kumar was late getting home from school. It had been raining heavily near his school in Chennai, India. This delayed his school bus, and when he finally arrived, Arjun’s parents were worried.
His parents’ concern gave Arjun an idea——he’d create an app, which can tell parents the location of their children’s school bus. While researching different ways to write apps, Arjun located an online programming tool on the website of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. MIT was making the tool, called App Inventor, available to anyone who wanted to use it. As the motto on MIT's website states, "Anyone Can Build Apps That Impact the World."
Arjun got to work doing just that. Using App Inventor, he created an app called “Ez School Bus Locator.” If a school introduced this app into its bus system, parents could log on to see the locations and estimated arrival times of their children’s school bus. Like other mapping apps, Ez School Bus Locator relied on GPS. GPS helps users determine their location, based on signals from a set of twenty-four satellites that orbit Earth. GPS-based apps calculate the location of a device by measuring the distances from three different GPS satellites. That's how Arjun's app determined where the buses were located.
The app could also confirm whether individual children were on the bus. Ez School Bus Locator used a specific bar code(编码)to identify each student. Students checked in when they got on and off the bus by using bar codes on their phones. As the bus driver drove, the app sent automatic messages to parents.
Does Ez School Bus Locator sound like a good idea? MIT thought so. In , MIT held a contest to honor the best apps that had been created using App Inventor. Arjun's app won first place in the K-8 division, and in , the app was available for purchase online.
Arjun didn't stop there. He continued developing new apps and he even started his own software development company. When asked for pointers for other young inventors, Arjun advised, “Look for problems around you, and get inspired from them. You’ll see a lot of opportunities to use your skills to make this world a better place to live!”
24. What is the passage mainly about?
A. The life of inventor Arjun Kumar.
B. A student's invention of a bus locator app.
C. How App Inventor helped Arjun write an app.
D. How the rainy weather in India affected traffic.
25. What do we know about Arjun's app from the passage?
A. It could be downloaded online for free.
B. It helped the children know where they were.
C. It was introduced by Arjun into the school bus system.
D. It used bar codes to track which children were on board.
26. Why did Arjun continue to work on software development?
A. To inspire more young inventors.
B. To win many awards for his inventions.
C. To solve problems that he saw in the world.
D. To earn money to continue his education at MIT.
27. What can we learn from Arjun Kumar's story?
A. Youth means limitless possibilities.
man owes his success to his family support.
C. If you don't aim high, you will never hit high.
D. Good problem solvers are problem finders first.

A century ago, millions of Quino checkerspot butterflies flew above Southern California. Each about the size of a paperclip(回形针), the Quinos hatched in great numbers each spring.
Toward the end of the twentieth century, however, the development of farms and cities dramatically reduced the butterfly’s habitat. By 1997, the population of the Quinos had declined to a tiny amount of its historical numbers.
The Quino’s situation continued to worsen. Wildfires burned much of its habitat, and temperatures were getting warmer and drier, making the environment more difficult to the butterfly’s host plant called the dwarf plantain.
Scientists knew that Quino caterpillars(毛虫) relied on the dwarf plantain as a food source. Each spring, the adult female butterflies laid eggs on dwarf plantains. When the caterpillars hatched, they fed on the plantain leaves. However, in the hot, dry summer, the plantains died off. The caterpillars responded by entering a state called diapause. Then, when normal winter rains came and the plantains’ flowers came out again, the caterpillars came back to life and started eating. Once they’d grown large enough, the caterpillars formed pupae(蛹) and emerged as adult butterflies. This strategy worked well in most years, but as average temperatures rose and rainfall decreased, the caterpillars weren’t getting sufficient food, and fewer developed into butterflies.
Because the area where they lived was surrounded by developed cities and desert landscapes, the Quinos had limited options. They took off anyway, flying eastward into the hills. They landed in mountainous open spaces east of Los Angeles and San Diego. They found no dwarf plantains there. The females began laying their eggs on the leaves of other plants, primarily the Collinsia concolor. These plants remained green longer into the summer months. When the caterpillars Quinos survived, and their numbers grew in their new home.
Scientists were surprised when they began encounter innumerous Qunios in the eastern hills. They were cheered to learn that these small insects had adapted to changing conditions. The Quinos demonstrated the toughness needed to survive by finding not only a new habitat, but a new food source, too.
Meanwhile, scientists had been raising Quino caterpillars in a lab and released hundreds of caterpillars into protected areas around San Diego. Between the efforts of scientists and the butterflies’ own actions, more of those colorfully checkered wings may soon be seen fluttering above the Southern California skies.
28. From the passage, we know Quino checkerspot butterflies in Southern California ______.
A. were an endangered species
B. couldn’t survive the winter cold
C. were very adaptable to environmental changes
D. couldn’t respond to the food shortage on their own
29. How did Quino checkerspot butterflies adapt to changed conditions?
A. They travelled to a new habitat. B. They found new dwarf plantains.
C. They laid more eggs on host plants. D. They learned to fly high up in the mountains
30. What does the underlined word “diapause” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Dying from hunger. B. Stopping bodily functions.
C. Becoming more active. D. Surviving the hot summer.
31. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. Quino Checkerspot Butterflies: Get Help
B. Quino Checkerspot Butterflies: Endangered
C. Quino Checkerspot Butterflies: Small, but Strong
D. Quino Checkerspot Butterflies: Find a New Habitat
D
As Artificial Intelligence（AI） becomes increasingly sophisticated（复杂旳）, there are growing concerns that robots could become a threat. This danger can be avoided, according to computer science professor Stuart Russell, if we figure out how to turn human values into a programmable code.
　　Russell argues that as robots take on more complicated tasks, it’s necessary to translate our morals into AI language.
　　For example, if a robot does chores around the house, you wouldn’t want it to put the pet cat in the oven to make dinner for the hungry children. “You would want that robot preloaded with a good set of values,
