A 3-year-old boy who was lost in the woods for two days is now safe at home with his family.

said he was with a friend — a bear.
The child went missing on January 22. He was playing with friends at his grandmother s house
in the southern state of North Carolina. When the other children returned home but Casey did not,
the family searched the area for almost an hour before calling the police. Police formed a search and rescue team to look for the young boy in the nearby woods. But two days went by and still 一 no
Casey.
Then on January 24, someone called the police saying he heard a child crying in the woods.
Police followed up on the information and found Casey at about 9 : 30 that night. They pulled him
out of some briar. He was in good health. Casey told the rescuers that he had hung out with a black
bear for two days, a bear he called his "friend".
Sheriff Chip Hughes spoke with reporters from several news agencies. He said Casey did not
say how he was able to survive in the woods for three days in the cold, rainy weather. However, the
sheriff said, “ He did say he had a friend in the woods that was a bear that was with him.”
Hundreds of people helped in the search and rescue efforts, including some 600 volunteers,
federal police and members of the military. Officer Hughes told reporters that at no point did he
think Casey had been kidnapped.
His mother Brittany Hathaway talked with reporters from a local news agency and thanked
everyone who joined the search for her son. " We just want to tell everybody that we' re very
thankful that you took the time out to search for Casey and prayed for him, and he's good, " said his
mother. " He is good, he is up and talking. He's already asked to watch Netflix. So, he's good ..."

Slowly but surely, we're moving closer and closer to 5G world. From smart-home security to
self-driving cars, all the internet-connected devices in our life will be able to talk to each other at
lightning-fast speeds with reduced delay. Objectively speaking, the fastest 4G download speeds in
the US top out at an average of 19. 42 Mbps. But by comparison 5G promises gigabit (千兆)
speeds.
“5G is one of those heralds (使者),along with artificial intelligence , of this coming data
age," said Steve Koenig, senior director of market research for the Consumer Technology
Association. ccThe self-driving vehicle is a great emblem of this data age, and that is to say, it is a
sign of time, because with one single task, driving, you have massive amounts of data coming from
the vehicle itself, and a variety of sensors are collecting a lot of information to model its
environment as it moves. It's pulling in data from other vehicles about road conditions down the
lane . It could be weather information, and also connected infrastructure ( 基 石 岀 设 施 )
construction. There5 s lots of data behind that task, which is why we need the high speed.
And virtual reality glasses and headsets haven't yet broken the mainstream, but tech companies
are joyfully betting that these devices will eventually replace our smartphones. With 5G, that could
actually happen. This is notable because companies such as Apple are reportedly developing AR glasses to assist 一 or even replace 一 smartphones.
Ericsson stated at February's Mobile World Congress how smart glasses could become faster
and lighter with a 5G connection, because instead of being weighed down with components, the
glasses could rely on hardware for processing power.
But don't get too excited. There s still a lot of work to be done in the meantime, including
various trials to make sure the radios play nicely with hardware and infrastructure construction so
5G isn't concentrated only in big cities.
28. What is the first paragraph mainly about?
A. A right security of 5G. B.The super speed of 5G.
C. A potential dream of 5G. D. The present world of 5G.
29. Which of the following can replace the underlined word "emblem" in Paragraph 2?
A. exhibition B. explanation C.sponsor D. symbol
30. What do some tech companies expect of virtual reality glasses?
A. They will be heavier than present ones.
B. They will process power on their own.
C. They will serve people instead of smartphones.
D. They will bring a big fortune to tech companies.
31 .What will the author tell us in the next paragraph?
A. How to fully expand 5G coverage.
B. How to effectively reduce 5G trials.
C. How to nicely operate 5G hardware.
D. How to widely construct 5G big cities.
D
A robot created by Washington State University (( (WSU) ) scientists could help
elderly people with dementia and other limitations live in dependently in their own homes .The Robot Activity Support System, or RAS, uses sensors (传感器)equipped in a WSU smart
home to determine where its residents are, what they are doing and when they need assistance with
daily activities. It navigates ( 定位)through rooms and around obstacles to find people on its own,
provides video instructions on how to do simple tasks and can even lead its owners to objects like
their medication or a snack in the kitchen.
“RAS combines the convenience of a mobile robot with the activity detection technology of a
WSU smart home to provide assistance in the moment, as the need for help is detected." said Bryan
Minor, a postdoctoral researcher in the WSU School of Electrical Engineering and Computer
Science.
Currently, about 50 per cent adults over the age of 85 need assistance with everyday activities
such as preparing meals and taking medication and the annual cost for this assistance in the US is
nearly $2 trillion. With the number of adults over 85 expected to triple by 2050, researchers hope
that technologies like RAS and the WSU smart home will relieve some of the financial pressure on
the healthcare system by making it easier for older adults to live alone.
RAS is the first robot researchers have tried to apply to their smart home environment. They
recently published a study in the journal Cognitive Systems Research that shows how RAS could
make life easier for older adults struggling to live independently.
"While we are still in an early stage of development, our initial results with RAS have been
promising," Minor said. "The next step in the research will be to test RAS' performance with a group
of older adults to get a better idea of what video reminders and other preferences they have regarding
the robot. ”
32. What plays a key role in RAS serving the elderly?
A.Sensors. B. Videos. C. Signal lights. D. Head size.
33. What can we learn about RAS?
A. It is the first robot used in daily life.B. Its function remains to be tested.
C. It can locate people and do any task.
D. It can cook for owners on its own.
34. What’s Minor's attitude toward the future of RAS?
A. Doubtful. B. Negative. C. Optimistic. D. Uncertain.
35. What would be a suitable title for the text?
A. Elderly People Leave the Nursing Home
B. Smart Home Tests First Elder Care Robot
C. RAS, the First Robot to Make Home Smart
D. Older Adults Have Benefited from RAS a Lot

Dear Lucy,
I’m Li Hua. I’m writing to tell you something about Chinese’s using the colour red.
We do like red, for red stands for happiness and good fortune in our culture. Therefore, you can
see people wear red clothes and hang red lanterns during the Spring Festival. And the senior citizens
even give their grandchildren some lucky money in red envelopes. Besides, young couples are also
dressed in red on their weddings. However, be sure to avoid wearing red clothes during some sad
events, such as attending funerals and visiting some patients. If you do so, it is really rude.
I sincerely hope my explanations will be of great use for you.
Best wishes!
Yours, Li Hua听力材料

W:Thank you to all the competitors. I won’t say much because I know you’re all anxious to hear
the results—it was a very difficult decision and I’ll start with the band which came in fourth. That’s
Texas Team,who are the youngest group here today. Unfortunately,the violinist played so quietly
that we couldn’t hear him. So bad luck to Texas Team. Third was Eastside. They are such good
dancers that they should enter for a dance competition. And with a bit more practice on the music
they’ll do very well. In second place is Third Avenue. They did well,especially their young guitarist,
but the singer looked so unhappy we thought maybe he didn’t want to win! Never mind—you nearly
won,so better luck next time. Congratulations to The Storm who are our winners today. The singer
had such a great voice that we had to give them first place. Well done.
