Sacagawea was not afraid. Although she was only 16 years old and the only female in an exploration group of more than 45 people, she was ready to courageously make her mark in American history.
In 1803, President Thomas Jefferson bought more than 825, 000 square miles of land from France. To explore this new part of the country, Jefferson sent Lewis and William Clark on a two-year journey to report on what they found. They needed local guides to help them through this unknown territory.
Born to a Shoshone chief around 1788, Sacagawea had been kidnapped (绑架) by an enemy tribe when she was about 12, then sold to a French-Canadian trapper. When the trapper was hired as a guide for Lewis and Clark's expedition in 1804, Sacagawea also joined as an interpreter to talk to Native-American people on their 8, 000-mile journey.
Sacagawea soon became a respected member of the group. She was skilled at finding plants for food and medicine to help keep the explorers alive. When a boat capsized (翻) on the Missouri River as they were crossing into what is now Montana, Sacagawea saved important books and much-needed supplies. When they needed horses to cross rough area, she convinced a Shoshone tribe-led by her long-lost brother-to give them some. She was so esteemed by Lewis and Clark that when they reached the Pacific Ocean in November 1805, Sacagawea was asked to cast her vote for where they should build a fort (营地).
Sacagawea proved herself again after the group took a different route home through what is now Idaho. As they passed through her homeland, Sacagawea remembered Shoshone trails from her childhood and helped the expedition find their way through. Clark even praised her as his "pilot".
She received no pay for her services and died on December 20, 1812. But Sacagawea's bravery and skill live on in the expedition's journals, which are full of praise for the 16-year-old Shoshone girl who guided the most famous American expedition of all time.
24. Why did the explorers hire Sacagawea?
A. To do trade. B. To fight the enemy. C. To be safer. D. To help communicate.
25. What does the underlined word "esteemed" in Paragraph 4 mean?
A. Respected. B. Suspected. C. Influenced. D. Promoted.
26. What do you think of Sacagawea's role in the expedition?
A. Active. B. Irreplaceable. C. Tricky. D. Unreliable.
27. What is the passage mainly about?
A. A special honor. B. A great expedition.
C. An outstanding girl. D. An unknown territory.

At CES (Consumer Electronics Show) 2020, one of the more well-represented gadget (小器具) categories was definitely consumer robots-but none was more adorable than a new robot pet from industrial robot startup Elephant Robotics.
This robot pet is a fully autonomous companion that can respond to touch and voice-and even play with toys, and it's hard not to love the thing after spending even just a brief amount of time with it. Marscat's pedigree (血统) is a bit unusual, since Elephant Robotics is focused on building what's known as "cobots", or industrial robots that are designed to work alongside humans in settings like factories or assembly (装配) plants.
Elephant Robotics, which was founded in 2016, already produces three lines of these cooperative robots and has sold them to customer companies around the world, including in Korea, the U. S. , Germany and more.
This new product is designed for the home, however, not the factory or the lab. Marscat is the startup's first consumer product, but it obviously benefits immensely from the company's expertise and experience in their industrial robotics business. Marscat walks, runs, sleeps, sits. stretches, bites nails and even buries litter although she won't produce any waste. It may express different emotions by different meows (喵) or gestures. Marscat is unique from its eyes，body to personality. It has six characters which can be changed. She may be energetic or lazy，social or shy. Her personality develops through the way the users pet her.
While Marscat provides that kind of functionality out of the box, it's also customizable and programmable by the user. Inside, it's powered by a Raspberry Pi, and it ships with Marscat SDK, which is an open software development library that allows you to fully control and program all of the rohat's functions. This makes it an interesting gadget for STEM (Science, technology. engineering, math) education and research, too.
28. How does Marscat differ from cobots?
A. Cobots is used more widely. B. Marscat is for family company.
C. Marscat is more difficult to operate. D. Cobots is a good housework helper.
29. What can we infer about Marscat from Paragraph 4?
A. It is like a real cat. B. It has unchanged personality.
C. It can speak to its owner if necessary. D. Its litter box needs cleaning regularly.
30. What does the underlined word “library” in the last paragreph refer to?
A. A bookstore. B. A control room. C. Marscat SDK. D. A Raspberry Pi.
31. What's the author's attitude to Marscat's future?
A. Questioning. B. Conservative. C. Prejudiced. D. Confident.
D
Wildlife in New York City tends to be headline news. These animals' admirable ability to live with humans in peace draws our attention and sympathy. Yet, what most New Yorkers don't even know is that another animal, the Quaker Parrot, has invaded (入侵) the city with surprising results.
Quaker parrots originally came from the mild regions of Argentina and Brazil. The details related to the birds' arrival to the U. S. have become a thing of legend. During the 1960s, workers at JFK International Airport reported that the parrots-then products of the pet trade-escaped from broken shipping trunks(箱子). Others say the birds escaped from their homes or were intentionally released by their owners, some of whom may have been unprepared to deal with the birds' unpleasant screams. Either way, the birds have now infiltrated (渗透) all five districts in New York within the last five years. They've also expanded into the lower Hudson Valley and major cities around the U. S.
Each bird is born knowing how to build a nest, although this skill is adjusted slightly with age and experience. The birds use their soft feet to build these free-standing nests in between tree forks. Nest structures can grow to the size of a refrigerator, housing up to 200 pairs of birds. Each nest can weigh more than a ton.
Unfortunately, these parrots' unique habit of building nests on public facilities can cause their homes to catch fire, taking down the electrical network. Con Edison, New York City's energy services company, realized about 14 years ago that these nests were behind a series of Power outages (停电) in Brooklyn. So the company partners with wildlife specialists to carefully remove nests from dangerous areas before they become a security risk.
Despite the challenges these parrots present for the public, they are one of the few invasive species stories with a fairly happy outcome. The parrots seem to pose no risk of overpopulating the neighborhood or outcompeting native species for food. And public service corporations arrange special teams to keep equipment free from birds, and the parrots have become a largely welcomed addition to New York's wildlife scene.
32. What do we know about Quaker parrots according to the passage?
A. They have charming voices. B. They are from South America.
C. They are only active in New York. D. Their nests look like a refrigerator.
33. What's special about Quaker parrots?
A. Size. B. Screams. C. Popularity. D. Nest building.
34. What does the last paragraph mainly tell us?
A. The birds are welcome. B. The birds need protection.
C. The birds are in danger. D. The birds are trouble makers.
35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Magical Birds' Nest. B. Prefer Jungle to Buildings?
C. Parrots Living in Urban Jungle. D. Help Parrots Survive in Cities?
