27、   One day，a poor boy who was selling goods from door to door to pay his way through school，found he had only one thin dime (十分硬币) left，and he was hungry.He decided he would ask for a meal at the next house.However，he lost his nerve when a lovely young woman opened the door.Instead of a meal he asked for a drink of water.She thought he looked hungry so brought him a large glass of milk.He drank it slowly，and then asked，“How much do I owe you？” “You don't owe me anything，” she replied.“Mother has taught us never to accept pay for a kindness.”He said，“Then I thank you from my heart.”

28、On the island of New Zealand there is a grasshopper-like species of insect that is found nowhere else on earth. New Zealanders have given it the nickname weta which is a native Maori word meaning “god of bad looks”. It’s easy to see why anyone would call this insect a bad-looking bug. Most people feel disgusted at the sight of these bulky(笨重的)，slow-moving creatures.

Wetas are natural creatures; they come out of their caves and holes only after dark. A giant weta can grow to over three inches long and weigh as much as 1.5 ounces. Giant wetas can hop up to two feet at a time. Some of them live in trees and others live in caves. They are very long-lived for insects and some adult wetas can live as long as two years. Just like their cousins grasshoppers and crickets wetas are able to “sing” by rubbing their leg parts together or against their lower bodies.

Most people probably don’t feel sympathy for these endangered creatures but they do need protecting. The slow and clumsy wetas have been around on the island since the times of the dinosaurs and have evolved and survived in an environment where they had no enemies until rats came to the island with European immigrants. Since rats love to hunt and eat wetas the rat population on the island has grown into a real problem for many of the native species that are unaccustomed to its presence and poses a serious threat to the native weta population.

【1】How can wetas produce pleasant sounds?

A．By rubbing their body parts.

B．By coming out only at might.

C．By moving slowly on the ground.

D．By hopping up to two feet at a time.

【2】What happens to wetas now?

A．They are increasing in number.

B．They are decreasing in number.

C．They are very active in the daytime.

D．They have a short life for insets.

【3】What does the underlined word "its" in the last paragraph mean?

A．the dinosaur's

B．the weta's

C．the island's

D．the rat's

【4】Where is the text most probably taken from?

A．A literature magazine.

B．A travel guide.

C．A business journal.

D．A biology textbook.

29、The American robotics company Boston Dynamics recently made public a new robot called Stretch. It is designed to do only one job: to move containers, or boxes, in large storage buildings called warehouses (仓库).

Michael Perry is vice president of business development for Boston Dynamics. He said Stretch is the first robot designed for one job that the company has built. He added that the robot was developed because of requests from companies around the world.

“We heard pretty much universally across warehousing that truck unloading is one of the most physically difficult and unpleasant jobs. And that's where Stretch comes into play,” Perry told Reuters.

Stretch has a small base that allows it to move around small spaces in existing warehouses without having to redesign them. The robot also has an arm with highly developed cameras that can identify (确定) and deal with boxes of many shapes and sizes.

Perry said Stretch can pick up boxes that weigh about 23 kilograms. He added that the robot can move about 800 boxes in one hour. Boston Dynamics is known for YouTube videos of its dog-like “Spot” and humanoid “Atlas” robots. Perry said now is a good time for its latest robot to benefit from increasing demand for speedy home delivery (运送).

Experts say the warehousing industry experienced strong growth in 2020. That growth is expected to continue this year. They say online buying during the COVID-19 health crisis drove the need for a huge expansion (扩大) in delivery services.

Boston Dynamics has not decided on a price for Stretch. But the company said the system can be set up without costly redesigns or investments in new buildings or structures.

【1】What makes Stretch move easily through small places?

A．Its short arm.

B．Its small base.

C．Its highly developed cameras.

D．Its ability to identify boxes.

【2】What do Spot, Atlas and Stretch have in common?

A．They have the same shape.

B．They are all famous online.

C．They are of the same weight.

D．They come from the same company.

【3】What can be inferred from paragraph 6?

A．The new robot is increasingly needed.

B．Users worry about the price of robots.

C．Robots have replaced people in carrying heavy goods.

D．COVID-19 has changed the way of shopping completely.

【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

A．Online Shopping Makes Workers Suffer Greatly.

B．Inventions Should Meet Market Needs.

C．New Technology Changes Business Models.

D．A New Robot Aims to Do the Heavy Lifting.
