• 11．Every November，Time magazine picks out what it calls "The 25 Best Inventions" of the year．Here，Teens has chosen some of the most interesting ones．
     Ember Mug
     It's hard to always keep coffee at the right temperature，especially in winter．It's too hot to drink at first，but before we know it，it gets too cold and loses all its taste．The perfect level of warmth for a cup of coffee only lasts for 37 seconds，which makes the Ember Mug a great invention．It keeps your coffee or tea at a certain temperature，anywhere between 45℃ and 62℃，once you set it through a smartphone app．
     Tasty One Top
     TV cooking shows make cooking look so easy，but it's almost impossible to get the recipes to cook the same as how the professionals cook．However，the Tasty One Top DIY cooking companion is here to help．Developed by Buzzfeed，the cooker can be connected to a smartphone app，which has more than 1，700 recipes and videos．You choose a recipe and the app will let the cooker know what to do．For example，it'll tell you when to turn your steak or when to add certain ingredients．
     Jibo
     Smart speakers from companies like Amazon and Xiaomi have added a lot of fun to our lives，but they're still just faceless speakers．However，Jibo，developed by MIT professor Cynthia Breazeal，has brought smart technology to life．Said to be "the world's first social robot for the home"，Jibo looks like a cartoon character．Inside its "head"，there are various sensors and cameras，which allow it to recognize faces and speech．It can also set alarms，remind you of important things，tell you the weather and read news or messages from your friends and family．
  
  （1）How can Tasty One Top help people？

  
  A．By teaching people how to cook．
  B．By offering people different recipes．
  C．By saving energy while cooking．
  D．By offering different kinds of cooking apps．
  （2）What can Jibo probably be？

  
  A．A cartoon character．
  B．A faceless robot．
  C．A family assistant．
  D．A smart alarm．
  （3）What is the purpose of the passage？

  
  A．To advertise high-tech products．
  B．To introduce some new inventions．
  C．To encourage subscription to Time．

• 33．閱讀下面材料，根據(jù)其內(nèi)容和所給段落開頭語續(xù)寫兩段，使之構(gòu)成一篇完整的短文。
      Early one cold November morning， my mother dressed me in thick clothes. "Now come outside with me." she said. Once outside， she handed me a brown paper bag that held something that smelled like wet dirt."We need to plant bulbs（球莖） before the first hard freeze. I have already dug the holes." she said. "So take each bulb from the bag， drop it in the hole， and then gently push the dirt back into the hole covering the bulb---like so."
      I opened the bag. "These bulbs are ugly and look dead!"
      "You're right. They're not at all pretty. But they're not dead； they're just sleeping until spring."
      "And all the bulbs look alike，" I continued. "How do we know what they'll look like next spring？"
      "We won't know for sure until spring， but that's the joy of gardening. We'll just have to be patient."
      All winter long I hoped that the flowers would bloom some day.
      One day in late April， I found some pink pushing up through the ground. My mother was excited when I showed her. "Perfect!" she said. "They'll be ready at just the right time."
      A few days later， she took me to the local store where she gathered up colored paper， colored ribbons， and all the baskets on sale. "Okay， now we're ready to make May baskets."
      "May baskets？ What are May baskets？"
      "They are small baskets filled with fresh flowers and secretly left at someone's front door." Her eyes shone with delight. "So when we get home we'll cut the flowers that are blooming in the garden to make May baskets. Then tomorrow， May first， we'll get up early and take them to our neighbors. Doesn't that sound like fun？"
      "But I waited all winter for the flowers to bloom， and they're so beautiful. And…and…I thought we would keep them forever，" I said， close to tears.
      "I know you're disappointed， sweetie， but flowers--like kindness -are meant to be shared. Their beauty is not ours to keep. You understand？" my mother replied in a tender voice.
  注意：
  1.續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應為 150 左右；
  2.請按如下格式在答題卡的相應位置作答。
  "No! I don't understand. I want to keep the flowers." I protested.____________
  Shortly after dawn the next morning， we began our journey through the neighborhood.________________
