26、   In an age of online shopping, commercial algorithms and streamed entertainment, most of us rarely face up to things that have not been digitally matched to our previous interests or prejudices. Few will have avoided the suggestion “if you've enjoyed X, then you'll like Y and Z” as they surf the internet looking for books, films or music.”

But now there are efforts to fight back against it. In both the arts and the media, a series of new projects are celebrating the importance of coming across the unexpected.

A new self-help book by Neil Farber; an American academic and doctor focuses on the vital role that chance plays in enriching our lives and thoughts. An unconventional service, Trade Journal Cooperative is offering to send a random publication direct to your door four times a year, from Professional Pasta to American Funeral Director or Plumber Magazine.

A new radio app, Stack, deliberately delivers music chosen by someone else. Stack has been set up in response to the vast areas of unknown music available to download. The music on Stack is instead chosen by a number of DJs and musicians and, importantly, listeners cannot influence what it plays. “It's not designed around your usage,” says Wigram, who is an art dealer. “But it removes the anxiety of having to 'like', or 'liking' something by mistake, and suddenly being recommended tracks that you don't even like. Algorithms reduce diversity and chance. And it's that element of chance, of discovering a new track, that an algorithm can't compete with. I do believe that human beings can do it better than algorithms.”

So the hope for an interesting future, according to Wigram, depends upon a good mix of blind chance and trusted human recommendations — a bit like the shelves of the old independent record stores and bookshops.

【1】What is mainly talked about in paragraph 1?

A．A dilemma facing internet users.

B．A suggestion given by internet providers.

C．An online phenomenon related to preference.

D．An open discussion concerning online shopping.

【2】Why are the examples in paragraph 3 mentioned?

A．To indicate the influence of the media.

B．To explain the operation of new projects.

C．To prove the success of a creative service.

D．To show the significance of chance in life.

【3】How does the app Stack help listeners choose a song?

A．By offering expert recommendations.

B．By making use of algorithms.

C．By removing the anxiety of musicians.

D．By providing plenty of songs.

【4】What is the author's purpose in writing the text?

A．To promote a healthy digital lifestyle.

B．To give helpful tips on how to make choices.

C．To advocate a new way out of algorithms' control.

D．To introduce different types of marketing services.

27、Amazon recently announced its latest launch, a robot called Astro. Small in size, but with impressive technology, Astro is seemingly similar to Amazon’s popular virtual assistant. With all the same capabilities as Alexa, many critics are asking why there’s a need for Astro.

Answering this question, Amazon’s Vice-President of Products, Charlie Tritschler, highlights some unique features of Astro that make it a different kind of robot. Astro can move on its own and follow people, offering consumers a far broader range of options. Besides, it can monitor home security. Astro uses Artificial Intelligence to learn more about household members by interacting with users. Users can also register themselves and others into its recognition system. When they leave home, they can make an away mode, which means “Sentry (哨兵) Mode”, or “Patrol Mode” start working. If someone who is not recognized enters the house, Astro will follow and record them. Astro’s mobility seems to be the key feature in its technological enhancement, but what appeals to people most is its “unique persona”. Its big, circular, blinking “eyes” displayed on its screen-like head making it look rather cute are a big reason for this.

Years of research show that humans often experience positive emotional connections with robots. According to MIT’s technology review of Astro, it may not fall far from this observation. People have come to love robotic pets, though they are fully aware that the pets are lifeless. Robots at home can play a useful role in helping elderly patients fight loneliness or young children face social anxiety.

Amazon is offering people interested in Astro the chance to sign up for Day 1 Editions, a program giving invitations to Astro as soon as it goes on the market later this year. Tritschler is encouraging people to personalize the robot when it becomes available, and he is confident that users will come up with more ideas and features they will want to see in the robot in the near future to make it even better.

【1】What is paragraph 2 mainly about?

A．The convenient operation of Astro.

B．The essential functions of Astro.

C．The increasing popularity of Astro.

D．The distinctive capabilities of Astro.

【2】Which aspect of Astro attracts people most?

A．Its recognition system.

B．Its ability to move on its own.

C．Its adorable appearance.

D．Its ability to monitor home security.

【3】What is Tritschler’s attitude to the future of Astro?

A．Critical.

B．Positive.

C．Uncertain.

D．Doubtful.

【4】What is the best title for the text?

A．Astro: A Robot Assistant

B．The New Revolution of AI

C．Astro: An Emotional Relief

D．The Great Potential of Robots

28、As climate change becomes severe summer after summer, millions of people are finding themselves covered in wildfire smoke, including those in North America just this past month. It is bad for our health. It is also really disturbing, but we don’t talk about that as much.

We often use the terms “atmosphere” or climate” to refer to the mood of a situation. We use metaphors (比喻) to describe affective states, such as “feeling under the weather” or “on cloud nine”. Such language suggests that we understand that human emotions are intimately related to the atmospheric phenomena. Yet rarely do we pay attention to the ways we feel climate change.

But wildfire smoke shows how affective climate change can be. For example, wildfire smoke is often referred to using emotional phrases such as “air of dread”. Through living with the smoke and the panic it generates, we can think more carefully about the ways we experience climate change, and crucially, why and how we need to respond to it.

We often think of climate change impacts as far away, separate from our bodies, because science typically uses global representations and statistical information. But wildfire smoke spreads and pollutes our bodies, and indeed, crosses many other boundaries; it drifts from rural areas into big cities; and it crosses state and national borders with ease. Of course, some borders are more permeable (渗透的), and some bodies more sensitive to the smoke.

Through its ability to pass through and become part of our very being, wildfire smoke is closer in nature to the air pollution we normally think of as one of the causes of climate change. Wildfire smoke is both an impact and a cause of climate change. It explains the nature of climate change impacts and the self-reinforcing (自我强化) feedback circles that can, and may, lead to the planet warming itself independent of human actions.

【1】What can we learn about people’s reaction to climate change?

A．They are curious about it.

B．They take it very seriously.

C．They feel powerless about it.

D．They pay little attention to it.

【2】What does the underlined word “intimately” in paragraph 2 mean?

A．Closely.

B．Naturally.

C．Certainly.

D．Unexpectedly.

【3】What does the author think of wildfire smoke?

A．It allows people to sense climate change.

B．It does great harm to people’s health.

C．It influences people’s mood.

D．It attracts scientists’ deep concerns worldwide.

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

A．Why Smoke from Wildfires Harms Us

B．How We Can Observe Climate Change

C．What Smoke from Wildfires Can Teach Us

D．What We Can Do to Avoid Smoke from Wildfires

29、When asked why he or she wears clothes, some people will probably answer "to keep warm and to cover my body". These are the basic reasons why clothes are worn, but people also want to look attractive and appear successful to others.

If people only wore clothes for warmth and to cover their bodies, most clothes would be simple and cheap. In most Western countries, however, clothes are sometimes very expensive. The main reason for this is not the cost of the cloth or the cost of making the clothes. The clothes are expensive because of fashion(时尚).

Successful businessmen, for example, often wear very expensive suits, shirts and ties. Sometimes they pay thousands of dollars for a suit and hundreds of dollars for a tie. It’s just a suit and a tie but they pay these prices because of the famous name of the designer. A suit costing much less would be just as warm and would cover the wearer's body just as well.

Fashion is always changing, which means those who want to be fashionable have to buy new clothes every few months, even if last month's clothes have only been worn once or twice. Some people have wardrobes full of clothes that have hardly been worn but are no longer in fashion. Being fashionable, therefore, can be a very expensive pastime（消遣）!

【1】What do people basically wear clothes for?

A．Looking attractive to others.

B．Following the fashion.

C．Appearing successful to others.

D．Keeping warm and covering bodies.

【2】We can learn from the passage that _______.

A．fashion is an expensive pastime.

B．fashion is not always changing

C．expensive clothes are warmer

D．fashion designers like expensive clothes

【3】What does the underlined word “wardrobes” in Paragraph 4 mean?

A．Fashionable clothes shops.

B．The clothes that some people have.

C．Cupboards for storing clothes.

D．Shelves used for keeping books.

【4】What is the passage mainly about?

A．Suits and ties.

B．Clothes and fashion.

C．Beauty and success.

D．Cost and pastime.

31、短文填空

In January, eight gorillas (大猩猩) at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park, in California, became the first great apes to test positive (阳性的) for COVID-19. “There was an immediate concern,” said Nadine Lamberski, the chief 【1】 (保护) and wildlife health officer at the San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance. “We want to 【2】 (尽我们的职责) and take all measures to make sure that won’t happen again.”

So Lamberski made a decision. In February, she gave nine other great apes an experimental COVID-19 vaccine. Those nine became the first zoo animals in the United States to get the vaccine. Since then, the vaccine has been shipped out to zoo animals in 27 states. Lamberski got the COVID-19 vaccine from Zoetis, a company that makes medications for animals.
