核心素养测评二 Module 2 My New Teachers Ⅰ. 阅读理解 A ‎(2020·北京海淀模拟)‎ My First Day of School Fear started taking over, I was walking into my first school in America. I had traveled a long distance from India in order to join my parents, who had been here for three years, hoping America would help my future. My father decided that I would be better off going to school here, so I enrolled (登记) in the local high school in my new town. ‎ I was afraid how I would do. On the first day, I went to my second period class after I had missed my first. With anxiety, I reached for the door, opening it slowly. Without paying attention to my classmates, I went straight to the teacher and asked if this was the right class. With a soft voice he answered. “Yes. ” His voice comforted me a little. He gave me a sheet called Course Requirements, which I would never get in India because we didn’t have anything like that. Then he asked me to choose where I would sit. I didn’t actually want to pick a seat. In India we had fixed seats, so I never needed to worry about that. I spent the rest of the class taking notes from the image produced by the overhead projector. In Indian schools, we didn’t use the technology we had. We had to take notes as the teacher spoke. ‎ It was noon. I was very confused about when I would have lunch. I went to my next class and the bell rang as I entered. I went through the regular process of asking the teacher if I was in the right class. She said, “It’s still fourth period. ”‎ ‎“But the bell just rang, ” I said. ‎ Changing from a gentle tone to a harsher (刺耳的) one, she said, “That is the lunch bell, young man. ”‎ I apologized. Without another word I headed for the cafeteria. I felt lucky ‎ 13‎ because we didn’t have this in India. Every confusion seemed like a barrier I had to get through to reach my goal. At the end of the day, I was on my way to the bus which we didn’t have in India either. I spotted my bus and sat down inside happily. I was thinking, today wasn’t so bad. ‎ ‎【文章大意】这是一篇记叙文。作者从印度来到美国, 在美国上高中。作者记叙了第一天上学的经历和感受。‎ ‎1. Why did the author attend an American high school? ‎ A. His father preferred American schools. ‎ B.

The package delivery service is only available in some cities in the US. ‎ The wheeled robots have a top speed of 4 mph and can detect barriers from as far as 30 feet away. “The robot can operate through just about anything, ” says Nick Handrick, head of operations for Starship’s D. C. office, “If you have something in the way, it’s able to climb it. ” By giving customers control of when deliveries occur, Starship Technologies is promoting its service as a way to combat package theft. ‎ To sign up for the service, which costs a little more than $10 per month, customers need to download the company’s app. Customers then create a “Starship Delivery Address, ” a unique address inside a Starship facility, instead of a home address, where they can have packages sent from places such as Amazon. com. ‎ Once a package is delivered to the Starship address, customers receive a text notice that allows them to schedule a home delivery via robot.
