21、Delivery Robots May Soon Be Knocking at Your Door
With self-driving vehicle technology rapidly advancing, many companies are turning to autonomous robots for the final leg—the so-called last mile—of the delivery process, from the store or local distribution center to the customer. The latest to join the trend is Amazon. Following a successful eight-month test run in Snohomish County, Washington, the company’s Scout robots have been making the rounds of Irvine, California, since August 6, 2019.
The six-wheeled Scout is about the size of a large cooler with the ability to carry small or medium-sized packages. The battery-powered vehicle, which moves at a regular walking pace, has been programmed to avoid pedestrians, animals, and unexpected obstacles（障碍）, such as garbage cans. Its powerful sensors（传感器）can also detect the movement of a car backing out of a driveway.
While Amazon is focusing on home deliveries, San Francisco-based Starship Technologies has its eyes set on universities. On August 20, 2019, the company announced plans to use thousands of robots to deliver food and other things to students at college campuses across the country. Unlike Scout, Starship’s robots are seasoned workers. They have been tested in over 100 cities in 20 different countries and successfully completed over 100, 000 deliveries.
Meanwhile, food and grocery delivery company Postmates’ robots are currently making their rounds along the busy San Francisco streets. Also in testing, the robots can carry up to 50 pounds and travel 30 miles on a single battery charge.
Though the eco-friendly robots will help free our streets of bicycles and large delivery trucks that typically send packages, they have some limitations. They are unable to climb stairs or open gates, which means that they can only reach consumers who live on the ground level. Additionally, the robots are unable to leave packages at the front door if the customers are not home. Whether these problems get solved remains to be seen. For now, it appears that humans will still be needed to meet the ever-growing demand for home and office deliveries.
【1】What does the underlined part in para l mean?
A.much more help B.very close distance
C.substitute for human D.the last section
【2】We can learn from the passage that ________.
A.Powerful robots sensors are gaining popularity in delivery.
B.The Postmates’ robots focus on students' food and grocery delivery.
C.The Scout can avoid obstacles because it moves at a regular pace.
D.Delivery robots have turned up in universities to serve students.
【3】What’s author’s attitude towards delivery robots？
A.Objective B.Optimistic
C.Pessimistic D.Cautious
【4】From which is the text probably taken？
A.a biology textbook B.a health magazine
C.a newspaper D.a travel brochure

23、A growing number of young people are having treatment for pain caused by taking pictures of themselves for social media. Jokingly named “ selfie (自拍) wrist ”, the condition is actually called CTS — carpal tunnel syndrome (腕管综合征).
【1】 If this is done repeatedly, the median nerve and blood vessels (血管) which travel through the carpal tunnel into the hand will become compressed (压缩), causing pain and numbness in the wrist and hand.
【2】 The most important thing is avoiding or reducing the activities that cause it. Meanwhile, wearing splints (夹板) and doing stretching exercises for the hand can work for mild symptoms, though it may take some time to improve the condition. 【3】 For example, a woman who regularly took selfies was found unable to hold things tightly due to severe numbness. As a result, the doctor had to operate on her to relieve pressure within the carpal tunnel.
In an interview, Dr. Raj Ragoowansi, a consultant plastic surgeon, said he had seen a 30% to 40% increase in people between the ages of 18 and 35 showing symptoms of CTS. He stressed that he could not prove that CTS symptoms were definitely caused by taking too many selfies.
【4】 Dr. Ragoowansi also asked younger patients about their full history of mobile phone use, and he found those who kept on using the thumb to type when using their phones easily got thumb-based pain, which led to “ phone thumb ” , or tendonitis (肌腱炎). 【5】
A．However, he believed it was the most reliable explanation.
B．Many were no longer taking selfies because of the condition.
C．He added that the carpal tunnel “ was an unforgiving space ” .
D．CTS can be treated with both non-surgical and surgical methods.
E．In severe cases, the injection of drugs and even surgery will be required.
F．“ Selfie wrist ” is caused by inward flexing (屈伸)of the wrist to take perfect pictures.
G．He concluded that not just taking selfies but texting too could be responsible for CTS.

26、阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
You might think that whether you choose a blue shirt or a yellow one to wear to work or college makes no difference to your day and those around you. However, an increasing number of experts argue that the colors we choose affect our mood, our career prospects (前景) and even our health.
The power of color has been used for centuries and we should be making the most of it in our lives. Color affects us to a greater degree than most of us realize. It is used increasingly by psychologists and therapists for influencing mood and state of mind, and for various types of treatments when we are ill. Some people ever believe that the blind can benefit from, the “vibrations” (震动) that color gives off.
Companies use color to great effect to encourage us to buy their product. For example, purple is seen as creative and mixes well with red, to show that a company has ideas and the power to make them happen. Orange and blue are also recommended colors for companies to use, because orange is the color of communication and blue suggests safety and security. So this could be a particularly good combination. Companies have found certain colors ‘speak’ to specific age groups. They often use red to attract younger people to their products, for example, as it is vibrant and more youthful than colors like gold and navy, which older customers seem to prefer.
Wearing different colors can affect how you feel and how others react to you, so it is important to consider this when deciding what to wear in the morning. If you want people to take you seriously, then wearing navy blue or black is good. Blue would also be helpful for an interview or oral examination because it relaxes you and makes you feel calm. Red gets you noticed by everyone and makes you, the wearer, feel energetic, but be careful, as it can raise your pulse rate and not everyone wants this effect.
So think carefully before you leave the house. The colors you choose are a wonderful tool. Are you making the right impression—on yourself and on others?
