21、Although it is a business not many are aware of, sidewalk robots are set to become an industry with annual sales of $1 billion within a decade. These four-or six-wheeled autonomous machines, usually the size of a suitcase, are already delivering groceries in America, China and Europe, which puts them ahead of many driverless cars and lorries being developed.
Those bigger vehicles are held back not by technology but regulation. This means having a “safety driver” on board ready to take over if there is a problem, which is hardly labour-saving. For these larger vehicles, regulators want to see safety systems thoroughly proved. In January 2022, Britain’s Law Commission, which reviews lawmaking, recommended that it should not be the person in the driver’s seat who faces prosecution if a vehicle in autonomous mode crashes, but the manufacturer or the body that sought approval for its use.
However, sidewalk robots are getting on with the job. For example, Starship Technologies, based in San Francisco, estimates it has already clocked up more than 2.5 million deliveries with robots in a number of cities, universities and business parks in Europe and America. Amazon is carrying out trials with a similar sort of machine. Kiwibot, a Colombian startup, is making sidewalk deliveries in California. Udelv, a Californian firm, is developing a larger type called Transporter to operate at highway speeds.
Sidewalk robots carry a few bags of groceries using a variety of sensors, including cameras, radar and GPS to navigate and avoid obstacles and people. Their progress can be monitored on a phone app, which also unlocks them for goods to be removed. As they are small, move slowly and are “telemonitored” by people in a control room who can take over, authorities seem more willing to give them a green light.
Such robots are becoming more autonomous. Being much further along the road in earning their keep, these delivery robots are helping to pave the way for the time when bigger autonomous vehicles can join them.
【1】What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A.Problems caused by autonomous cars.
B.Suggestions for producing intelligent robots.
C.Challenges faced by large driverless vehicles.
D.The innovative technology of delivery vehicles.
【2】Why does the author give some examples in paragraph 3?
A.To prove the safety of autonomous machines.
B.To present the development of sidewalk robots.
C.To encourage the public to create more robots.
D.To show the advantages of self-driving technology.
【3】What can we know about sidewalk robots?
A.They are environmentally friendly.
B.They can distinguish traffic lights on the road.
C.They make deliveries faster than ordinary trucks.
D.They make it easy for people to track the delivery process.
【4】Which section of a magazine is this text probably taken from?
A.Sports and music.
B.Business and culture.
C.Science and technology.
D.Nature and geography.
22、 Lots of students are unsure about a variety of factors when they consider which college might represent a good fit for them, but they believe they know exactly what they want when it comes to college size.
【1】. Here are a few of the less-obvious reasons a smaller school might be a good fit:
1. The professors actually do the teaching. Most small colleges only teach undergraduate degrees.【2】, and more importantly, graduate students won’t be teaching any of your classes.
2. More focused and direct feedback (反馈). You’ve heard the expression “You’re just a number.” Think about the homework and tests that need to be graded in a class with 450 students. 【3】. But at small schools, class sizes are smaller, and professors will have more time to read a student’s work.
3. Research chances. Students at small schools are able to develop relationships with professors more easily, since there is a smaller number of students. 【4】.
4. Less red tape. It’s just easier to get things done at a small school. 【5】, and there are fewer regulations. One of the biggest frustrations (令人沮丧的事物) at large schools is that important classes become full quickly, forcing students to either take them over the summer or stay an extra term.
A.Small colleges may offer more sports activities
B.Professors and administrators have more flexibility
C.That means there aren’t graduate students on campus
D.The size of a school really can change your experience
E.It’s great to see students make a 180-degree turn after they visit some small colleges
F.Teachers there don’t have much time to offer advice on every student’s piece of work
G.Most professors know their students’ names and count on them to take part in their research
23、 Integrity is the quality of being honest and strong about what you believe to be right. The concept of integrity has played a key role in moral philosophy throughout history and is promoted in all societies because of its importance to social relations. Individual integrity is vital to society, one that enables people to make use of their capacity for critical reflection, does not force people to take up particular roles and does not encourage individuals to betray each other. Besides, societies can be favorable to the development of individual integrity.
Individual integrity can lift up the spirits of the entire society. It can shape the lives of people living in a particular society, the lives of all fellow people and, in its broadest sense, even the destiny of a nation. By contrast, if those living in the society are dishonest, it could have bad effects, jeopardizing the healthy morality of the society.
Additionally, a society can be favorable to the development of individual integrity. Society expects and requires integrity. A society consisting of people of integrity, and people who never compromise on their principles, could have a positive mark on the personal development of its members. Being a part of such a morally lively community could serve as a basis for absorbing traits of good character. This could be of a distinct advantage to any individuals in the society.
However, some social structures are of the wrong sort for some individuals to pursue integrity. If that is the case, we have to ask questions about the moral nature of society first before raising questions about individual integrity. Questions about integrity may turn out to be about what kind of society it is, rather than about the relationship between individual interests and characteristics of a society. The pursuit of adequate individual integrity often depends, not so much on understanding who one is and what one believes and is committed to, but rather understanding what one’s society is and imagining what it could be.
Under no circumstances can we underestimate the importance of human integrity in a society. People, who are honest, trustworthy, compassionate and caring, are the factors decisive in the growth of individuals as well as the development of a society.
【1】Individual integrity has been valued in society because ________.
A.it helps develop philosophy
B.it is important to social relations
C.it is the basis of critical thinking
D.it ensures people’s particular roles
【2】The underlined word “jeopardizing” in Paragraph 2 probably means ________.
A.assessing
B.strengthening
C.destroying
D.influencing
【3】The writer believes that ________.
A.individual integrity depends on what one believes
B.the nature of society is decided by economic development
C.the pursuit of individual integrity changes with time
D.social structures guide the formation of individual integrity
【4】Which of the following shows the development of ideas in this passage?
