21、When it comes to the jobs robots could never do, you would probably put doctors and teachers at the top of the list. It's easy to imagine robot cleaners and factory workers, but some jobs need human connection and creativity. But are we underestimating (低估) what robots can do? In some cases, they already perform better than doctors at diagnosing (诊断) illness. Also, some patients might feel more comfortable sharing personal information with a machine than a person. Could there be a place for robots in education after all?
British education expert Anthony Seldon thinks so. And he even has a date for the robot takeover of the classroom: 2027. He predicts robots will do the main job of transferring information and teachers will be like assistants. Intelligent robots will read students' faces, movements and maybe even brain signals. Then they will adapt the information to each student. However, it's not a popular opinion and it's unlikely that robots will ever have empathy (同理心) and the ability to really connect with humans.
One thing is certain, though. A robot teacher is better than no teacher at all. In some parts of the world, there aren't enough teachers. That problem could be partly solved by robots because they can teach anywhere and won't get stressed, or tired, or move somewhere for an easier, higher-paid job.
Teachers all over the world are leaving because they feel overworked. Perhaps the question is not “Will robots replace teachers?” but “How can robots help teachers?” Teachers waste a lot of time doing non-teaching work, including more than 11 hours a week marking homework. If robots could cut the time teachers spend on marking homework and writing reports, teachers would have more time and energy for the parts of the job humans do best.
【1】In the opinion of most people, what kind of jobs are robots most likely to do?
A．Culture-related jobs.
B．Mental jobs.
C．Physical jobs.
D．Tiresome jobs.
【2】What can be learned about Anthony Seldon's prediction in Paragraph 2?
A．It sounds disappointing.
B．It seems to be puzzling.
C．It isn't widely accepted.
D．It has become a reality.
【3】What's the last paragraph mainly about ?
A．Why teachers are badly needed.
B．Teachers' working conditions.
C．Disadvantages of robot teachers.
D．How robots help teachers.
【4】What's the author's attitude towards robot teachers?
A．Opposed.
B．Favorable.
C．Suspicious.
D．Sympathetic.
22、 While most people have the idea that volcano eruptions are one of the most destructive disasters in nature , seeing a volcano erupt is a wonderful experience, and you can really feel the heat by climbing to the summit of Pacaya for a close-up view.
There are guided tours every day up this highly active volcano from Antigua, giving travelers a chance to see Mother Nature at her most powerful.Pacaya is an easy drive from Antigua, a beautiful city with many colorful houses along its old streets that are turned into art-works during its Holy Week festival. No matter when you come to Antigua, you won’t miss the Pacaya-tour companies.
But climbing Pacaya is no easy job: it is 2,560 meters high, and reaching the summit takes two to three hours of seemingly one-step-forward and two-step-back movements. As you climb you hear the dull sounds of eruptions high above. Steaming, hot remains from recent eruptions begin to line the path as you near the active summit: the Mckenney Cone (火山锥). Just as though you were going to walk over to the edge of the cone, the road turns to the left and up to the relative safety of the old, inactive summit.
Many tours are timed so that you arrive at the cone of the volcano in plenty of time for sunset and the full contrast between the erupting red lava(岩浆) and the darkening sky. On a good day the view from the summit is extremely exciting. The active mouth boils, sending red lava over its sides, and once in a while shoots hot steams up to 100 meters into the air. There is a strong bad smell in the air even if you take care to be upwind of the cone. As evening turns deeper into the night, the burning lava quietly falls down the side of the volcano. For you, too, it is time to get down.
【1】Antigua is a city .
A. that gives a close-up view of Pacaya
B. that is famous for its tour agencies
C. where the exciting Pacaya tour starts
D. where people can enjoy cultural festivals
【2】The word “summit” appears several times in the passage. It means___.
A. cooled rocks along the path
B. loud sound and terrible smell
C. the most exciting happening in a place
D. the top point of a mountain or hill
【3】Many tours are timed for people to .
A. get down the mountain in time when night falls
B. avoid the smell from the upwind direction
C. enjoy the amazing eruption against the darkening sky
D. appreciate the scenery of the Pacaya mountain
【4】What is the main purpose of this passage?
A. To attract tourists .
B. To describe the volcano
C. To introduce guided tours .
D. To explain the power of nature .
23、Sitting close with your little ones from an early age and enjoying a book together is always a great way to spend time, but do you know reading to your children has a whole range of benefits that will give them a flying start in life?
Firstly, it’s a great introduction to vocabulary. Seeing an adult sounding out the words and linking them to the shapes on the page begins to build up vocabulary that they will use for the rest of their life.
Then there are a variety of good effects of hearing stories which improve their minds and develop social awareness and skills. At a time when they are perhaps stuck indoors more than ever before, reading is the best way to motivate (激发) children’s imagination. They can travel to the moon, meet the Gruffalo and pop into a chocolate factory all before they’ve even had lunch!
There’s no better way to walk a mile in someone else’s shoes than reading their stories and seeing things from another’s point of view is a great way to build empathy (共鸣), tolerance and other qualities needed. There are some fantastic children’s books which show characters acting as strong role models. These stories can encourage future leaders and thinkers, so every child can feel they can achieve their dreams, from the Little Leaders series to Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls (叛逆女孩).
Now is the perfect time to build up a library of excellent reads ready for children to enjoy now and in the future. They will create memories to last a lifetime. On top of the benefits for your little ones, it’s fun, relaxing and a great chance to go back and reread the best books from your own childhood.
【1】What kind of people is the text written for?
