21、Picture the scene: You come home after work feeling too exhausted to cook –only to find a delicious meal worthy of a Michelin-starred restaurant waiting for you. It sounds like a fantasy, but it could be about to come true thanks to a robot chef developed by British scientists.
Those scientists have come up with a set of robotic arms so smart that they are capable of cooking meals all by themselves. The device will be sold from as early as 2017 as part of a purpose-built high-tech kitchen.
Scientists at Moley Robotics spent almost 18 years developing the hands. According to its creators, the arms can chop, stir, whisk and baste well enough to recreate almost anything you would care to eat, whether it is a simple home-cooked supper, or a complicated creation designed by a world-class chef. The hands move a little slowly, hovering strangely above the work surface whenever they are not busy, but they imitate human movements closely enough that they can do things such as wiping a spoon on the edge of a pan to prevent drips.
Mr. Oleynik, who is leading the project, said, “All the things which are possible with the hand are possible here. There is no limitation. A lot of people want to go to Michelin-starred restaurants, but they are quite expensive and may be quite far from the home. This is an opportunity for people to enjoy very good food, and for a reasonable price. ”
The only cuisine that is off the robot’s menu at the moment is sushi, which requires extremely steady pressure and nimble fingers to make, but the team plan to conquer that as well by the time it goes on sale.
【1】People go to Michelin-starred restaurants in order to______.
A. appreciate car tires. B. escape from work
C. see the new robot chefs D. enjoy delicious meals
【2】What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. British scientists B. Household wives
C. Cooks at restaurants D. The robot chef’s arms
【3】Which kind of food CAN’T the robot chef cook at present?
A. Sushi B. Beef C. Bread D. Sandwich
【4】What can we infer from the passage?
A. Hands of a robot chef can perform exactly like a cook.
B. It is uncertain when the robot can cook all kinds of food.
C. Michelin-starred restaurants are suitable for many people.
D. Robot chefs are available at shopping malls.
22、 It’s a common experience: You’re reading through a social media page, and you see pictures of friends traveling or going to parties. Suddenly you start to wonder why you’re not doing those things. Are you missing out on something fun and exciting because you’re locked into everyday life? This experience has come to be known as the fear of missing out, or FOMO. To some extent, people have always worried about missing out on things. But with the rise of social media, FOMO is becoming much more common.
Wanting to be in on the fun when exciting things are happening is completely normal. But for some people, it can lead to an obsession with checking their phones to find out what other people are doing. Even while doing things that are fun or necessary, people can feel like there’s something better going on elsewhere. This urge to connect can lead them to disconnect from the people they are actually with. It prevents them from being satisfied with the good things in their lives. It can even be dangerous; some people try to check messages while driving.
It’s important to remember that what people choose to post on social media does not necessarily reflect their life overall. People tend to pick and choose the things they share, so we only ever know a small part of anyone else’s life.
It might even be necessary to turn off your phone or log out of social media for a while. Get rid of the constant reminders of everything that’s happening in the world. You can even set particular times in your day to check email and social media. By stepping away for a time, you can help keep other people’ lives in perspective.
Finally, focus on the things in front of you. Enjoy them, do them well and let everything else go. When you fully engage with life, you’ll worry less about what you’re not doing.
【1】Why does the author mention the experience in paragraph 1?
A.To share his experience of FOMO.
B.To describe the symptoms of FOMO.
C.To introduce the topic of FOMO.
D.To give an example of FOMO.
【2】What is NOT the possible influence FOMO has on some people?
A.Checking their social media too often.
B.Making phone calls while driving.
C.Being separated from people with them.
D.Being unsatisfied with the present happiness.
【3】What can be the best title for the passage?
A.The Harms Of Checking Phones.
B.The Fear Of Missing Out.
C.The Ways Of Dealing With Social Media.
D.The Symptoms Of FOMO.
