26、   Recently, a Scottish grocery store employed a robot. The robot, named Fabio, was part of an experiment conducted by the Heriot-Watt University, which explores the combination of men and machines. Elena Margiotta, co-owner of the Margiotta supermarket chain, says, “We thought a robot was a great addition that could show the customers that we are always wanting to do something new and exciting.”

Fabio's job was to make customers feel welcome and assist them in locating grocery items if asked. Things seemed to start off well. The almost 4-foot-tall humanoid robot greeted customers, talked intelligently about the weather, and even gave hugs and high-fives. However, Later, its friendliness appeared to wane when a shopper needed help but received a vague or unclear answer. Therefore, store visitors began to seek out human employees for help.

Believing it might be better at a job that required more socializing (交往), the shop appointed Fabio to hand out sausage samples (样品) . Unfortunately, things did not go well. While a human employee managed to attract 12 customers to try the food in 15 minutes, the robot attracted just two.

Since Fabio was not trained for any other job, the grocery store management decided to “fire” the robot a week after it had first reported for duty. The director of the Interaction Lab at Heriot- Watt says, “When we had to put it back in the box, one of employees started crying because they had become emotionally attached to it. It was good in a way because we had thought they would feel threatened by it as it was competing for their job.” As he later discovered, the tears were not out of fondness for Fabio, but it was because the robot freed the human employees from the dull task of responding to customers’ questions.

Although Fabio appears to be different within its family, thousands of other quite similar Pepper humanoid robots which were employed at various Japanese stores and some stores in America seem to be extremely popular with customers.

【1】According Elena Margiotta, the shop employed a robot to __________ .

A．reduce the cost of running the shop.

B．carry out an experiment.

C．show the intention to change and improve.

D．deliver the groceries.

【2】When handing our sausage samples, Fabio __________ .

A．didn't get along well with human employees.

B．failed to be understood by customers.

C．couldn't clearly tell the samples' strengths.

D．was no match for human employees.

【3】According to the passage, the store employees may agree that __________ .

A．Fabio performed well in its job.

B．they benefited from Fabio’s help.

C．robots competed with them for the job.

D．robots could respond well to customers' questions.

【4】What can be implied from the last paragraph?

A．Other Pepper humanoid robots are superior to Fabio.

B．Robots-based customer service has a long way to go.

C．Scottish people are particular about robot employees.

D．People’s acceptance of robots may vary from culture to culture.

27、   It's 3 a.m. and you're wide awake for the second night in a row. You get up and come to the kitchen for some warm milk that mom says will put you to sleep. So why are you eating a bowl of ice cream with a side of cookies?

You may have heard about two hormones (荷尔蒙) that control our urge to eat: leptin and ghrelin. "The 'l' in leptin stands for lose: It controls appetite and therefore contributes to weight loss," said sleep specialist Dr. Raj Dasgupta, the associate program director of the Sleep Medicine Fellowship at Keck Medicine of USC. "The 'g' in ghrelin stands for gain: This fast-acting hormone increases hunger and leads to weight gain." When you don't have enough sleep, research shows, ghrelin levels increase while leptin lakes a nose dive. The result is an increase in hunger.

But food is food, so that doesn't explain why we want candy instead of carrots. To answer that, you have to look at another system of the body: The endocannabinoid (内源性大麻素) system. It manages everything from sleep to appetite to pain and more.

In a study published in 2016, Hanlon compared the circulating levels of 2-AG, one of the most abundant endocannabinoids,in people who got four nights of normal sleep (more than eight hours) with those in people who only got 4.5 hours. People who were sleep-deprived (缺乏睡眠) reported greater increases in hunger and appetite and had higher afternoon concentrations of 2-AG than those who slept well. They also had a rough time controlling their urges for high-calorie snacks.

All of this research is so new that science doesn’t yet know how it all fits together or what can be done about it. And that brings us to the bottom line: There's not going to be a pill any time soon for the sleep-deprived junk-food people. Instead, you'll have to do what the doctor says to reduce your improper cravings (渴望) in the middle of the night: get more sleep.

【1】How does the author develop paragraph 2?

A.By giving examples. B.By making comparisons.

C.By following time order. D.By making explanations.

【2】What did the study published in 2016 find?

A.Most 2-AG is produced during sleep.

B.Normal sleep makes levels of 2-AG go up.

C.High levels of 2-AG can result in strong appetite.

D.Lack of sleep decreases appetite for high-calorie food.

【3】What may be a solution to the problem of eating junk-food at midnight?

A.Buying a pill from the hospital. B.Visiting the doctor at midnight.

C.Getting normal amount of sleep. D.Checking the levels of 2-AG often.

【4】What can be the best title for the text?

A.Lack of sleep makes you crave junk food.

B.2-AG controls your hunger and appetite.

C.Enough sleep is important in losing weight.

D.Leptin and ghrelin together make you sleepy.

28、   As you move around your home, take a good look at the things you have. It is likely that your living room will have a television set and a video,and your kitchen a washing machine and a microwave oven. Your bedroom drawers will be filled with almost three times as many clothes as you need. You almost certainly own a car and possibly a home computer, holiday abroad at least once a year and eat out at least once a week.

Now, perhaps, more than ever before, people are wondering what life is all about, and what it is for. Getting material success is beginning to trouble large numbers of people around the world. They feel that the long-hours work culture to make more money to buy more things is eating up their lives, leaving them very little time or energy for family. Many are turning to other ways of living and downshifting is one of them.

Six percent of workers in Britain took the decision to downshift last year. One couple who downshifted is Daniel and Liz. They used to work in central London. He was a newspaper reporter and she used to work for an international bank. They would go to work by train every day from their large house in the suburbs (郊区), leaving their two children with a nanny (保姆). Most evenings Daniel wouldn’t get home until eight or nine o’clock, and nearly twice a month he would have to fly to New York for meetings. They both earned a large amount of money but began to feel that life was passing them by.

Nowadays, they run a farm in the mountains of Wales. “I always wanted to have a farm here,” says Daniel, “ and we took almost a year to make the decision to downshift. It’s taken some getting used to, but it’s been worth it. We have to think twice now about spending money on car repairs and we no longer have any holidays. However, I think it’s made us stronger as a family, and the children are a lot happier.

Liz, However, is not quite sure. “I used to enjoy my job, even though it was hard work and long hours. I’m not really a country girl, but I suppose I’m gradually getting used to looking after the animals. One thing I do like, though, is being able to see more of my children. My advice for other people wanting to do the same is not to think about it too much or you might not do it at all”

【1】What do the first two paragraphs tell us?

A．People seldom work long hours to make money.

B．People hardly buy more things than necessary.

C．People are sure everything they own is in the right place.

D．People realize there is more to life than just making money.

【2】When Daniel was a reporter he________.

A．lived in central London

B．disliked his job

C．missed his children

D．was well paid

【3】Daniel and Liz both agree that the move to the farm________.

A．was easy to organize

B．has improved family life

C．was extremely expensive

D．has been a total success

【4】The underlined word “downshifting” in the second paragraph means______.

A．repairing your car by yourself

B．spending money carefully

C．moving out to the countryside. to live a simpler and better life

D．living in a big house in the suburbs and dining out once a week

29、Walking doesn’t require any special equipment or gym memberships, and best of all, it’s completely free. For most of us, walking is something we do automatically. It doesn’t require much effort, so many of us fail to remember the benefits of walking for health.

But what happens if we stop walking on auto-pilot and start challenging our brains and bodies by walking backwards? Not only does this change of direction require more of our attention, but it may also bring additional health benefits.

One of the most well-studied benefits of walking backwards is improving stability and balance. Walking backwards can improve forward gait (how a person walks) and balance for healthy adults and those with knee osteoarthritis (关节炎). Walking backwards causes us to take shorter, more frequent steps, leading to improved muscular endurance for the muscles of the lower legs while reducing the burden on our joints.

While normal walking can help us maintain a healthy weight, walking backwards may be even more efficient. Energy expenditure (消耗) when walking backwards is almost 40 percent higher than walking at the same speed forwards, with one study showing reductions in body fat for women who completed a six-week backwards walk or run training program.

Walking backwards is simple, but that doesn’t mean it’s easy. When walking backwards, we’re more likely to miss block that we could crash into or fall over, so in the interest of safety, it’s best to start indoors where you will not crash into someone or outside in a flat, open area. Keep your head and chest upright while reaching back with your big toe for each step, rolling through the foot from toe to heel.

【1】What can we learn about walking from the first paragraph?

A．Its cost is surprisingly high.

B．Its training equipment is rare.

C．Its advantages are often ignored.

D．Its benefits are partly unknown.

【2】What benefit does walking backwards bring to legs?

A．Speeding the walking pace.

B．Lowering the load of joints.

C．Relieving the pain of knees.

D．Strengthening the whole muscle.

【3】Who is most likely to practice walking backwards according to paragraph 4?

A．A man eager to lose weight.

B．An athlete trained to run faster.

C．A fat woman suffering illness.

D．A teenager unable to concentrate.

【4】What is the last paragraph mainly about?

A．The difficulty in walking backwards.

B．The danger of walking backwards.

C．Some tips about walking backwards.

D．Right places for walking backwards.

32、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

To celebrate Fireman’s Day, a town’s special school for orphans(孤儿) held a special meet and greet with the local fire department. That year, the firemen had stopped a forest fire before it could reach houses and buildings.

The town’s firefighters came to the school dressed in uniform and answered all the kids’ questions. Captain Joshua was the department leader and explained each team member’s role. “Everybody has to be in the right place at the right time,” he explained to the children.

Captain Joshua suffered a noticeable burn mark above one of his eyes while fighting against the forest fire. A young boy named David approached Joshua, who noticed that the young boy had a birthmark in the same spot as his burn mark. David had another request for Joshua but was too shy to ask at first. David turned to his teacher, Mrs. Humphries, for approval, and she gave him a thumbs-up.

“Would it be all right if I came to the fire station to see all the equipment and look at the trucks?” David asked. The young boy explained that he dreamed of one day becoming a fireman, which was why he wanted to learn as much as possible. Mrs. Humphries told the captain, “The reason why David is so interested in firemen is that a dangerous fire took his parents from him at a young age.” Hearing this, Joshua decided that the trip would be beneficial for David and agreed to the tour.

That Saturday morning, Joshua showed Mrs. Humphries and David around the fire department. David was smiling from ear to ear. The three had hot dogs at the station. “I want to be a fireman to save many lives so that children don’t have to be sad. I want to be just like you when I grow up,” David said to Joshua before saying goodbye to him.
