24、Last year, I went to Being Qizhi Special Education School for community service. Before we took the bus, my friend asked me a question. “Why are you here?” I did not know how to answer the question.

The school was not far from my school, but it looked as if it were in a different world. A group of children were waiting for us. A boy walked toward me . He held my hands and pulled me to the ground, it made me nearly kiss the earth and taste nature. After seeing this, the boy laughed. I could not understand what he was doing at first, then I was very angry. Though I was very angry. I controlled my anger.

A teacher stopped this deadly silence when she shouted at the boy. “What are you doing right here, right now?” She said. You will never see your mum again if you keep doing this. Now, say sorry! “Sorry”, he tried fearfully and nervously. I said nothing, but I realized something about this child. After lunch I asked the teacher for information about the child’s parents.

She said that the child was very different from other students, because of an illness. His family could not afford to treat him, He needed the kindness of his family, But they had abandoned him. So he lived a life with the help of the teachers and community service workers like us.

I suddenly realized I could answer the question my friend asked me at the beginning of the day.

26、Nowadays the intelligent parcel lockers like Hive Box started to play an important role in most of the deliveries in our life.

Before the introduction of intelligent parcel lockers, although a large part of the delivery process started to use machines and technologies, last-mile delivery mainly depends on couriers. With the increase in the number of express orders, there are more problems such as shortage of couriers and too much work pressure. At the same time, because of different locations and the uncertainty of the picking time as well as other factors, the efficiency of couriers was very low. What’s worse, second deliveries often occurred. Under such situation, intelligent parcel lockers were put into use. They greatly improve users’ experience and delivery efficiency.

However, some serious problems actually impede the development of it. That’s why it doesn’t develop as fast as we expect. Installation cost of the lockers at the early stage is expensive. Although the free storage with no time limit once attracted a large member of users, such kind of method is not practical in the long run and has caused losses these years.

Take Hive Box, the leading company as well as China’s largest self-service parcel locker operator in this industry, as an example. In 2019, the intelligent parcel lockers of the Hive Box led a wide-spread debate. Because the locker put up a notice that tried to let the users pay 1 RMB to get their parcels without informing in advance. On April 30, 2020, Hive Box began a membership system. It also caused dissatisfaction.

It seems that the intelligent parcel lockers industry has been exploring its way to get more profits and reduce losses, but so far, there has been no perfect solution. So reformation and more studies should be done to guide it to the correct path to a better development.

【1】What’s the main idea of Paragraph 2? ________

A．How the intelligent parcel lockers worked.

B．How the intelligent parcel lockers came out.

C．What problems intelligent parcel lockers met.

D．What advantages the intelligent parcel lockers had.

【2】What does the underlined word “impede” probably mean? ________

A．Stop.

B．Improve.

C．Slow.

D．Help.

【3】Why does the writer mention Hive Box? ________

A．To attract people to use Hive Box more often.

B．To show Hive Box is the biggest company in the industry.

C．To prove how difficultly the intelligent parcel lockers develop.

D．To explain why people don’t like Hive Box’s membership system.

【4】According to the passage, the future of the intelligent parcel lockers is ________.

A．different

B．hopeful

C．promising

D．worrying

27、Today we can do everything with apps — pay bills, order food and shop for anything. Mobile technology means we can hold the world in our hands. However, when it comes to technology and healthcare

Let’s start with the ways to get healthcare. Telemedicine can allow a patient to use technology to see the doctor on line and get a diagnosis (诊断) and instructions without leaving home.

In addition, there are many patient websites. These allow for different kinds of interactions about our health needs without involving the medical team. Setting a date with doctors and reading lab results are readily achieved by technology.

A whole new age of medical care seems likely to come in the future. But every coin has two sides. What might be on the other side of techno-healthcare?

Firstly, we should think about the healthcare experience as a whole. A usual visit to a doctor begins with a receptionist, who can see and tell how a patient is doing. This may influence the treatment effect. It’s unlikely that a patient website will have such intuition.

Next, sharing the details of one’s life requires trust, which takes time to build. This is certainly true in healthcare.

Lastly, test results can be difficult to understand. When someone without a medical degree sees a flagged result with no explanation on the website, there’s room for all kinds of stories to form in their minds — and also great worry.

So how does medicine adapt (适应) to the new technology age? Very talented companies are working on it. There is medical equipment that can be used at home to send important signs and heart sounds through telemedicine. It seems likely that some companies will find a way to explain test results.

But what it will not achieve is the warmth of human interaction and touch. Patients often need someone to listen to — and care about — their journey story, which will never be realized through a human-less technology. Technology should be a tool, but depending on it totally will most certainly have unexpected effects. Let’s not allow our humanity to be one of them.

【1】According to the passage, how does technology help healthcare?

A．It encourages doctors to voice their needs on the websites.

B．It offers a patient a convenient way to get a diagnosis.

C．It improves relations between doctors and patients.

D．It provides an opportunity to build a medical team.

【2】The underlined word “intuition” in Paragraph 5 probably means ________.

A．an ability to understand

B．an interesting action

C．a chance to win

D．a fair decision

【3】What do you know about techno-healthcare from the passage?

A．Patient websites require trust from doctors.

B．Talented companies can give medical advice.

C．Flagged results may cause worry for patients.

D．Medical equipment collects patients’ stories.

【4】The writer probably agrees that ________.

A．technology can deal with unexpected effects

B．telemedicine can take the place of usual healthcare

C．it is easy for patients to adapt to the new technology age

D．techno-healthcare should take humanity into consideration

28、   “Where are the restrooms?” or “Could you please tell me where the restrooms are” are s【1】requests for direction. B【2】are correct, but the first one sounds less polite. That is because it is a very direct question. It is not enough to just ask a question 【3】 (correct). We also need to learn how to 【4】polite when we ask for help. Good speakers change the way they speak in different situations. The expressions they use might depend  【5】whom they are speaking to or how well they know each other. It is all right to ask your classmates direct questions because you know them well. 【6】if you say to your teacher, “When is the school trip?”, this might sound i【7】. But if say, “Excuse me, Mr. West. Do you know when the school trip is?”, this will sound much more polite. Usually people use polite questions 【8】(include) expressions such as “Could you please...?” or “May I ask…?” to show good manners. Sometimes we even need to spend time 【9】 (lead) into a request. For example, we might first say to a stranger, “Excuse me, I wonder if you can help me” or “I’m sorry to trouble you, but” before 【10】(ask) for help.

29、“The grass looks greener on the other side of the fence.” That’s an old ________ in English. It means other places often look better, more interesting than the place where you ________ . Some people worry ________ young Chinese are beginning to feel that way. They see young Chinese paying no attention to Chinese culture and, ________, buying Japanese cartoon books, watching South Korean soap operas and even celebrating Western holidays.

Foreign books and soap operas are good, but Chinese writers and ________ are just as good. As for holidays, ________ Western holidays are nice, they can never have the meaning for Chinese that the Spring Festival has, and the West has nothing to compare with the Mid-Autumn Festival. And let’s not forget the part of Chinese culture I like best: ________ friendliness. Not all countries are as ________ as China.

It’s good to enjoy other cultures and to ________ from them, but they cannot replace your own culture. It’s good to ________ the other side of the fence, but make sure you take a good long look. You will find that the grass isn’t always greener on the other side of the fence.
