21、   Faced with a decreasing population and workforce, Japan has been increasingly turning to robots for help. Over the years, the robots have been used to perform a large number of human tasks, including building products and providing care and company for the elderly. The latest addition to the Japanese “workforce” may be Model-T. This seven-foot-tall robot is currently undergoing trials restocking sandwiches, drinks, and ready meals on shelves at select locations of local convenience store chains Lawson and FamilyMart.

Model-T, whose face unclearly resembles that of a kangaroo, is certainly not the first restocking robot. However, the warehouse robots currently being used by companies are only able to accomplish single, repetitive tasks, such as stacking boxes. Model-T, on the other hand, has a wide range of movement and can be used to restock objects of various sizes, making it perfect for convenience and grocery stores, which sell a large variety of items.

Named after the classic Ford Motor car, Model-T is not autonomous. Instead, it is operated by human “pilots” wearing a virtual reality (VR) headset and special gloves, which allow them to feel the product the robot is holding in their hands and guide it to the right shelf. Telexistence, the company behind Model-T, says the VR-controlled robots are easier to develop and maintain. They are also ten times cheaper than autonomous robots, which require complex programming.

Model-T’s easy-to-use controls require little training and can be operated from a remote location. Tomohiro Kano, a general manager, believes this capability will enable the chain to employ employees who would typically not work in stores. “There are about 1.6 mllion people in Japan who, for various reasons, show no interest in job hunting,” Kano said.

Though Model-T appears to be breezing through the trials, it is not quite ready to enter the labor force. Besides being a lot slower than human stockers, it is also only capable of lifting packaged items, and cannot grasp loose items such as fruits and vegetables. Telexistence hopes to introduce a faster Model-T within the next two years.

【1】Where does Model-T mainly differ from other robots?

A．It is designed to do tasks repetitively.

B．It can perform various actions.

C．It is in the shape of a kangaroo.

D．It can work all by itself.

【2】What can we infer about Model-T?

A．It needs training to work.

B．It can feel the products.

C．It is simply programmed.

D．It wears special gloves to work.

【3】How does Tomohiro find some Japanese people?

A．They are usually lazy at work.

B．They find excuses for not working.

C．They prefer being employed at stores.

D．They lack enthusiasm for finding jobs.

【4】What does the last paragraph focus on?

A．Model-T’s limitations.

B．Model-T’s bright future.

C．Model-T’s practical uses.

D．Model-T’s trail results.

22、There have been few positives during the pandemic but British academics may have unearthed one people look more attractive in protective masks.

Dr Michael Lewis, an expert in faces, said research carried out before the pandemic had found that medical face masks reduced attractiveness because they were associated with disease. “We wanted to test whether this had changed since face coverings became common and understand whether the type of mask had any effect.” he said. “Our study suggests faces are considered most attractive when covered by medical face masks. This may be because we’re used to health care workers wearing blue masks and now we associate these with people in caring or medical professions.”

The research was carried out in February 202I by which time the British population had become used to wearing masks in some circumstances. Forty-three women were asked to rate on a scale of one to 10 the attractiveness of images of male faces without a mask, wearing a plain cloth mask, a blue medical face mask, and holding a plain black book covering the area a face mask would hide. The participants said those wearing a cloth mask were significantly more attractive than the ones with no masks or whose faces were partly covered by the book. But the surgical mask—which was just a normal, disposable kind—made the wearer look even better.

“The pandemic has changed our psychology in how we perceive the wearers of masks.” said Lewis. “When we see someone wearing a mask we no longer think that person has a disease, I need to stay away’ Lewis said it was possible that masks made people more attractive because they directed attention to the eyes. Other studies had found that covering the left or right half of a face also made people look more attractive, partly because the brain fills in the missing gaps and exaggerates the overall impact.

【1】How did people wearing medical face masks use to strike others?

A．strange

B．relaxing

C．undesirable

D．attractive

【2】According to the research, which of the following is the most appealing?

A．Tom, holding a blue medical face mask

B．Mark, wearing a plain cloth mask.

C．Paul, a book covering the lower area of the face

D．Jason, with a surgical mask covering his face.

【3】What can be inferred about the effect of the pandemic on people from the text?

A．People have changed their attitude to medical workers.

B．People prefer to wear masks when they are outdoors.

C．People hold a more positive view on those wearing masks

D．People keep a positive attitude to persons with illness

【4】What does the passage mainly talk about?

A．Masks help during the pandemic.

B．Men need to wear masks.

C．Find ways to become attractive.

D．Face masks make you charming.

23、   You might easily gain access to fresh fruit and vegetables, but this isn’t the case in some parts of America. The U. S. has many areas that are considered as food deserts, which are defined as parts of the country short of fresh fruit, vegetables and other healthy food, usually found in poor areas.

Food deserts are urban areas where the nearest grocery store is more than 1 mile away, and rural areas where the nearest grocery store is more than 10 miles away. According to the USDA, 19 million Americans or 6.2% of the population-live in places that can be considered as food deserts.

The issue isn’t necessarily about the difference in cost between healthy and unhealthy foods in these areas but it’s about a lack of access to healthy choices at all. And, with the lack of healthy food choices, these areas typically have a large supply of unhealthy foods sold at fast-food companies and convenience stores.

Eating unhealthy foods can lead to overweight, which puts people at risk for all kinds of major health issues, including high blood pressure, heart disease, and some cancers.

But some people, especially those who cannot afford a car, are stuck with eating what’s readily available. In the case of food deserts, it’s usually the type of food that can lead to over-weight. Studies have shown that this is likely to be a problem in low-income areas. When money is not enough, people tend to buy foods that last longer and remove food waste, which is a waste of their limited income.

Lack of access is only one part of the problem, however. A study published in 2018 found that food inequality wasn’t removed. The bigger issue was likely the lack of education and nutritional knowledge in these communities, which prevents people with lower incomes from understanding the benefits of healthy eating.

While overweight is a significant issue in these communities, the cost of unhealthy eating isn’t just physical. A study found that 71 billion dollars in healthcare costs due to chronic diseases could be saved through healthier eating.

【1】What can we infer from the first two paragraphs?

A.6.2% of the Americans live in poor areas.

B.Some parts of the USA lack fresh vegetables.

C.Some people in America don’t need fresh fruit.

D.People in the food deserts buy fresh vegetables easily.

【2】Why can fast-food companies sell large amounts of unhealthy food in the food deserts?

A.These areas are rich in unhealthy food materials.

B.Fast-food companies want to make a larger profit.

C.Healthy food choices are unavailable in these areas.

D.People in these areas prefer unhealthy food to healthy food.

【3】What do studies say about people in low-income areas?

A.They are less likely to have overweight problems.

B.They are delighted to prepare food for themselves.

C.They have to buy food that can be preserved longer.

D.They are used to eating food donated by food companies.

【4】What stops people from understanding healthy eating benefits in the food deserts?

A.Lack of government financial support.

B.Lack of knowledge of disease prevention.

C.Lack of social promotion of healthy eating.

D.Lack of education and knowledge in nutrition.

24、   The ruins of a Maya city have been discovered in Guatemala with the help of the remote sensing technique LiDAR. This lost city envelops sites like Tikal, Holmul, and Witzna, but shows that these famous areas are a small part of this lost urban network.

Hidden under the jungles of the Maya Biosphere Reserve site, more than 60,000 human-made features — homes, canals, highways, and more — have been identified in aerial (从飞机上的)images collected by some international researchers headed by the PAGUNAM Foundation, a Maya cultural and natural heritage organization. Those have experts rethinking the outlines and complexity of the Maya Empire.

These ancient peoples obviously created these imaginative cultures based on their known relics (遗迹), but the new research has suggested that the size of this lost society is far beyond what experts imagined. The findings will be explored in a one-hour documentary called “Lost Treasures of the Maya Snake Kings”, to be broadcast on the National Geographic Channel.

This breakthrough was possible thanks to LiDAR sensors, which can survey lands in 3D by bouncing pulses off the ground from unmanned air vehicles and others. LiDAR is exceptionally useful for detecting archeological(考古的)sites, as it gets through jungles and other features that hold up exploration on the ground. The technique has made many discoveries become a reality in recent years. For instance, major finds at Angkor, Cambodia and Caracol, Belize can explain what it did. The final goal is to survey Guatemala’s lowlands with it.

“There are entire cities we didn't know about now showing up in the survey data,” Francisco Estrada-Belli, one of the lead archeologists on the project, said in Nat Geo's coming documentary. “There are 20,000 square kilometres more to be explored and there are going to be hundreds of cities about the mysterious people who built this urban network there that we don’t know about, and we will push back the frontiers with the technology,” he added.

【1】What does the underlined word "Those" in paragraph 2 refer to?

A.Jungles. B.Human-made features.

C.Researchers. D.Aerial images.

【2】What does the author want to convey in paragraph 4?

A.The working principle of LiDAR sensors.

B.The process of researching Maya civilization.

C.Great importance of Guatemalans lowlands.

D.LiDAR’s contribution to discovering the relics.

【3】Which words can best describe the lost Maya city?

A.Small and hidden. B.Famous and high-tech.

C.Vast and complex. D.Fully-explored and imaginative.

【4】What will the archeologists do next?

A.Continue to explore the unknown. B.Upgrade the LiDAR technology.

C.Study the documentary carefully. D.Build a massive urban network,
