21、Robots used to be found only in science fiction. In the 1960s, the animated space-age family the Jetsons had a robotic maid who could do household chores. In the 2014 movie Big Hero 6, the robot Baymax could diagnose and heal illnesses instantly. In real life robots function in many manufacturing and household situations. (Think workers in the automobile industry, robot toy pets and vacuum cleaners.) In the filed of medicine, robot patients help train doctors and nurses by pretending they have a variety of health conditions. 【1】

The global pandemic and resulting economic crisis have created a lack of restaurant workers. Since restaurants don't have enough workers, the remaining staff must work harder. Regardless, customers face longer wait times, fewer menu choices and higher prices. 【2】 These robots are not exactly modeled after Rosey, the Jetsons' robotic household servant, but they are pretty clever (and very cute).

【3】 Many have a design that looks like a rolling cart. One model named Bella even has a cute cat-like face. Many are fairly short and shaped like R2D2 of Star Wars fame. They are designed to deliver dishes to regular customers in a restaurant. They are also just the right height for customers to easily reach them. Restaurant owners are finding server robots ideal for performing repetitive tasks, however many there are. They can not only deliver delicious food to performing repetitive tasks, however many there are. They can not only deliver delicious food to hungry customers. but also get back dirty dishes at the end of the meal.

【4】 Concerning the price. a server robot costs from a few thousand to several thousand dollars. And in 2021, a restaurant even rented one for as low as USS15 per day. Regarding safety, special sensors on the robots keep them from crashing into customers. Because there aren't enough restaurant workers. filling positions with these robotic servers is a no-brainer. Don't be surprised if you see one rolling up to your table soon.

A．Robots are playing an important role in almost everywhere nowadays.

B．Some founders are lending a hand-a robotic hand-in the form of server robots.

C．Perhaps you're wondering about issues such as the cost and safety factors.

D．Workers are afraid of being replaced by robots in the future.

E．Now robots are finding a home in the food service industry.

F．Server robots come in several different varieties

22、   The Hope Diamond is one of the world’s most famous jewels. It was in the possession of a series of people: kings, bankers, rich women and thieves, before its arrival 60 years ago at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C.

As a rare blue diamond, it has a complex social history, to be sure. But, far more so is its geological history, researchers say in a new report. This is the first time anyone has come up with a fact-based study or model for how blue diamonds form.

The group looked at 42 blue diamonds, including one from South Africa that recently sold for $25 million in 2016. Researchers could tell where the stones were formed based on the very small minerals trapped inside.

Diamonds are a hard, clear form of pure carbon called a crystal (结晶). They form under extreme heat and pressure. Blue diamonds crystallize alongside water-bearing minerals that long ago were part of the floor of the sea. But these minerals were pushed deeper underground during the movement of the Earth’s plates.

Scientists already knew these diamonds received their blue color from the element boron (硼). The study says that boron had once been in ocean water but was eventually pushed into the seafloor rock. Over millions of years, the boron continued to move deep underground.

Many diamonds appear colorless. Often, however, they have some yellow color. Still others have a light brown, pink or green color. About 99 percent of all diamonds form somewhere between 150 to 200 kilometers underground, a far shallower birthplace than their blue relations. “These diamonds are among the deepest ever found,” Carnegie Institution for Science geochemist Steven Shirey said of the blue diamonds.

The public can see the Hope Diamond at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History in Washington D.C.

【1】By saying the underlined part in Paragraph 2, the researchers mean the blue diamond ________.

A.was formed in extreme weather

B.has a very complex forming history

C.has a far-reaching influence in society

D.used to be very popular among rich people

【2】How could researchers know the blue diamonds’ birthplaces?

A.By observing their colors.

B.By studying their structures.

C.By referring to where they were found.

D.By examining tiny substances in them.

【3】What makes the diamonds appear blue?

A.The water. B.Extreme heat and pressure.

C.A special matter. D.The seafloor rock.

【4】What is special about blue diamonds compared with diamonds of other colors?

A.They contain several colors.

B.They form in much deeper underground.

C.They come into being in a different way.

D.They are found near the earth’s surface.

【5】What is the passage mainly about?

A.The social status of the Hope Diamond.

B.The discovery of the Hope Diamond.

C.The formation of the blue diamond.

D.The diversity of diamonds.

23、We are all aware of the effect greenhouse gas emissions are having on our planet and the efforts needed to fight climate change. Most of us are doing our bit to reduce our impact on the environment, but despite our collective effort, are we doing enough to achieve net zero by 2050?

Net zero means not adding to the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Many countries are doing their bit by changing how they generate and use power, therefore, cutting carbon dioxide output. And they announced what further steps they were going to take at the recent COP26 summit in Glasgow.

In the UK, the government has been setting out its plans to achieve net zero by 2050. It’s recently announced an end date for the sale of gas boilers, which are used for heating homes. The idea is to replace them with heat pumps. It’s offering homeowners money of up to £5,000 to get them in place. Another initiative in the UK is a big push towards electric vehicles. There are to be financial incentives (激励措施) for car makers, and more charging points are to be fitted in streets. And there’s to be a ban on the sale of new petrol and diesel cars by 2030.

But not all emissions can be reduced to zero, so those remaining will have to do something to pay for being in existence. One way to do this is to plant thousands of trees, which are good at absorbing carbon dioxide. The UK government has promised to plant 30,000 hectares of trees a year by 2025. There are other ideas too, but what’s certain is this will cost money. The CBI’s Tom Thackray told the BBC that “those costs have to be weighed up against the cost of inaction.”

Whether the UK, or anyone else, reaches net zero remains to be seen. And there’s some doubt about how this can be accurately measured anyway. But it’s generally recognized that a global effort is needed to deal with climate change. Therefore, net zero targets only make sense if every other country is moving in the same direction.

【1】What can be inferred from paragraph 1?

A．Net zero greenhouse gas emissions can be achieved by 2050.

B．Climate change is closely related to greenhouse gas emissions.

C．We are doing what we can to reduce our impact on the environment.

D．Countries should work together to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

【2】Which of the following is helpful in cutting carbon dioxide output?

A．Coal-fired power.

B．Gas heating.

C．Electric cars.

D．Petrol vehicles.

【3】What is the third paragraph mainly about?

A．Plans made by the UK to cut down greenhouse gas emission.

B．Big contributors emitting greenhouse gas into the atmosphere.

C．Measures to be taken to ban the use of fossil fuel in some industries.

D．Incentives to encourage industries to reduce greenhouse gas emission.

【4】What’s the author’s intention of writing the passage?

A．To demonstrate how important and urgent it is to fight against climate change.

B．To introduce what the UK is doing to achieve net zero greenhouse gas emission.

C．To tell the difficulties to reach the set target of net zero greenhouse gas emission.

D．To call on countries in the world to work together to fight against climate change.

24、Year of Giving

Yesterday I started the Year of Giving, my first day of a year-long journey into exploring the act of giving and the meaning of charity. I chose December 15 as the starting date, which marked three years since my mother died from heart disease. She was one of the most generous people that I have ever known. She always thought of others first and certainly serves as an inspiration to me.

I had a rather busy day yesterday, ironic (具有讽刺意义的) for someone who is unemployed right now. In the morning I went to the gym, and unsuccessfully got the phone call from the unemployment office for some job searching. Before I knew it, it was noon. I grabbed a quick lunch and rushed down to a meeting. On my way to Connecticut, I wondered if I would see someone that I would feel forced to give my first $ 10 to. I was running late and decided to do it afterwards.

After the meeting I had about half an hour to find the first person of my Year of Giving! I decided to check out DuPont Circle. I had met a guy there named Jerry once and thought he would willingly accept my $ 10. He wasn’t there, but I did see a man sitting by himself who looked really lonely, so I approached him. Now I had to figure out what I was going to say, I think I said something like, “Hi, can I sit down here?” “I would like to know if I could give you $ 10?” He asked me to repeat what I had said, I did, then he looked at me funny, got up and left.

I then started walking south where I spotted a man standing by the bus stop on Connecticut Ave. He appeared to be in his 60s. I don’t know what drew me to him, but I thought I would make my second attempt. I was a bit nervous and asked him which bus came by that stop. Then I explained that I was starting a year-long project to give $ 10 to someone every day and that I wanted to give my $ 10 for today to him. The gentleman, I later found out that his name was Ed, responded without hesitation that he could not accept my offer and that there were many people more deserving the money than him. This was exactly one of the things that I hoped would happen. People would think of others before themselves.

【1】The author set the starting date on December 15 to ____.

A. help the charity B. remember his mother

C. make an explosion  D. fulfill a wish of his mum

【2】In the author’s first attempt to give away the money, ____.

A. he was considered ridiculous

B. he hesitated for a long time

C. he was forced to donate the money

D. he had no time to take action

【3】In the author’s second attempt, the gentleman refused his offer because ____.

A. he didn’t need other’s help

B. he thought more for others

C. he didn’t care about money

D. he wanted to get more money

【4】We can infer that the author was inspired by ____.

A. true friendship   B. his own kindness

C. generous donations   D. human’s good nature

25、   One day, when I was a first year in high school, I saw a kid from my class walking home from school, _______ nearly all his books. He was Kyle. “How strange it is!” I thought.

Suddenly, a bunch of kids ran toward him, _______ his books out of his arms and tripping him so he _______ in the dirt. Sadness filled his eyes. I _________ over and helped him pick up his books. We talked all the way home, and I carried some of his books. He turned out to be pretty cool. We _______ all the weekend and became best friends over the next four years.

Then came the _______ day when Kyle as a representative would _______ a speech. He _______ his throat, and began. “Graduation is a time to thank those who helped you make it through _______ years. I am to tell you a story.”

I just looked with __________ as he told the story of our first meeting. He had __________ to kill himself over the weekend. He had cleaned out his locker so as not to ________ his Mom later.

“________, I was saved by my friend from doing the unspeakable.”

I heard the gasp (喘息) among the crowd. I saw his parents smiling the same ________ smile at me. Not until that moment did I realize its ________ .

26、阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。

In the back of my closet is a small box that has followed me to every new address. It’s the first thing I find a place for as the moving truck pulls away. The only remaining contents in it are dozens of notes in my mother’s tidy writing.

My mother, who put her business degree to use running a small company with my father, while raising me, was always prepared and always gave me abundant love. By day she made marketing slogans and distribution strategies. By night: bubble baths and bedtime stories. She and I had the same February birthday. Each year my parents arranged wonderful parties.

When I was 3, she learned she had advanced breast cancer and immediately began to prepare by researching every available treatment. Each day, she would sit for hours at our dining table, her straight dark hair tied back, surrounded by piles of paper, studying, technical paragraphs.

When I was 7, the materials on the dining table began to change. Wrapping (包装) paper and ribbons took the place of her highlighted pages. Scissors swished through gift wrap. Paper creased (折) under her fingers. Ribbon cut to length with one snip. Knots came together with a tiny creak. Swish, crease, snip, creak. She had begun assembling (装配) a gift box for me.

Inside, she packed presents and letters for the milestones of my life she would miss —graduation, wedding, and every birthday until the age of 30. My mother died 10 days before our shared birthday. That morning, when I turned 12 and she would have turned 49, I woke up early and opened the box as my mother had shown me.

Neat rows of brightly wrapped presents glowed like the spring tulips (郁金香) that were just coming up in the front yard. In the package marked “12th Birthday”, I found a little ring with an amethyst (紫水晶) at its center. A white card curling around the present read: “I always wanted a birthstone ring when I was a little girl. I hope you like it, too. Happy birthday, darling girl! Love, your Mommy.”
