Ⅳ.[2022·原创]阅读理解
If you want to teach yourself how to draw, there is good news. A butterfly-like robot, DrawBo, is there to help you. It can teach you how to draw hundreds of pictures step by step.
The 220-gram robot can be used on any whiteboard or even just a piece of paper on a wall. DrawBo has two cords(粗线) that are hung onto hooks(钩). They allow DrawBo to move freely. There is a special opening for a pencil or a maker pen on DrawBo’s body. Moving up and down and from side to side, DrawBo draws a picture and pauses(停顿) after finishing each line.
DrawBo comes with an app. Kids can open the app and choose a picture, which is sent to the robot by Bluetooth. The robot then draws the picture one line at a time, pauses after each line so kids can have enough time to copy it onto their own piece of paper.
Users can choose how long the robot pauses before drawing the next line. They can also make it “wait” until a “Next” button(按钮) is clicked on the app.
The app includes some easy pictures and some that are more difficult, with things like foods, animals and cartoon characters to choose from.
You can get the robot on the Internet. If you spend $149, you can get a robot with 500 pictures on the app. For $199, you can get a robot and 1,000 pictures, and for $359, you can get two robots with 1,500 pictures to choose from.

C.the users D.the two cords
2.The third paragraph and the fourth paragraph mainly tell us . ( )

阅读下面短文,按要求完成1~5题。
In the town of Lampang in northern Thailand, there is an unusual group of musicians. They play many different kinds of music—everything from traditional Thai songs to music by Beethoven. Both children and adults love this group. What makes them so popular Is it their music Their looks Yes, it’s both of the things, but it’s also something else: they’re elephants.
These musical elephants started at the TECC(泰国大象保护中心) in Lampang. The TECC protects elephants. It teaches people to understand and love them. And, like many zoos around the world, the TECC encourages elephants to paint.
Richard Lair works for the TECC. He loves his job there and knows a lot about elephants. He says some of the animals’ paintings are very good. But, in fact, elephants hear better than they see. So he had an idea: if elephants are smart and they have good hearing, maybe they can play music. To test his idea, Lair and a friend started the Thai Elephant Orchestra. During a performance, the elephants play a number of instruments, including the drums and the xylophone(木琴).
But can elephants really make music properly “Yes,” says Lair. They are very creative. Humans encourage the animals to play, but the elephants make their own songs; they don’t just copy their trainers or other people. There are now CDs of the group’s music which make money for the TECC. And the music these artists create is pretty amazing.
