21、If you have ever lost touch with old school friends, you may find yourself wanting to make contact again. Some teens find that certain school friends are worth keeping contact with and want to keep the friendship going strong.

Hang out at the same places

One way you can get together with old friends from your school is to go to the same places that they go to. If you still go to school together, you probably know where everyone goes on the weekends. If you are able to go there too, you may find that your relationships with your old school friends start up again.

Sports teams

If you are athletic and your former friends are too, joining school sports teams is a great way to catch up with old friends. This doesn’t mean that you should join a sport which you do not like just so you can see your old friends. However, if you like sports, wish to join a team and your former friends are on that team, and then playing the team sports is a great way to get to know them again.

Take part in school clubs

There are often a lot of school clubs in which teens participate. Depending on your interests and your former friends’ interests, you may just find a club at school. Sharing a common interest such as a club activity will help you to have something in common and something to talk about.

22、The word “robot” was coined in 1920 by the Czech playwright Karel Capek meaning fully functional servants. For most of their history, robots have been inelegant mechanical devices sitting out of sight in factories. Things are starting to change, however. Robots are leaving carefully managed industrial settings for everyday life and, in the coming years, will increasingly work in supermarkets, clinics, social care and much more.

They could not be coming at a better time. Many industries are facing a shortage of labor—the demand for workers has recovered much faster than expected and some people have left the workforce, particularly in America. Warehousing(仓库)has grown rapidly thanks to the e-commerce boom. Robots are picking items off shelves and helping people pack a rising numbers of boxes. They are even beginning to move slowly along some pavements, delivering goods or food right to people’s doors. Nowadays, short of workers but with lots of elderly folk to look after, having more robots to boost productivity would be a good thing.

And yet many people fear that robots will destroy jobs. A paper in 2013 by economists at Oxford University was widely misinterpreted as meaning that 47% of American jobs were at risk of being automated.

In fact, concerns about mass unemployment are overblown. The evidence suggests robots will be ultimately beneficial for labor markets. Japan and South Korea have the highest robot usage rate but very strong workforces. A Yale University study that looked at Japanese manufacturing between 1978 and 2017 found that an increase of one robot unit per 1,000 workers boosted a company’s employment by 2.2%. Research from the Bank of Korea found that robotization moved jobs away from manufacturing into other sectors, but that there was no decrease in overall vacancies.

For all that, the march of the robots will bring big changes to workplaces, too. One supposed example of “bad automation” is self-service checkouts in supermarkets, because they displace human workers. But robots could perform unpleasant work. Checkout staff who retrain to help customers pick items from aisles(传送带)may find that dealing with people in need is more rewarding than spending all day swiping barcodes in front of lasers. In addition, as jobs change, workers should be helped to acquire new skills, including how to work with and manage the robots that will increasingly be their colleagues.

The potential gains from the robot revolution are huge. In Capek’s play, the robots revolt(反抗)against their human masters and cause mass unemployment and worse. However, the beginnings of the world’s real robots have not matched Capek’s assumption. So there is no need to concern about their future.

【1】The author mentions the two researches in paragraph 4 to____________.

A．prove an argument

B．introduce an approach

C．present an assumption

D．highlight an experiment

【2】What can we infer from the passage?

A．New skills will be acquired by workers with the help of robots.

B．The more robots are used, the greater employment it can bring.

C．Robots will betray their human masters and cause worse problems.

D．Checkout staff in supermarkets may be happier to do with people in need.

【3】Towards wide spread of robots, the author is____________

A．approved

B．neutral

C．opposed

D．doubtful

【4】What’s the best title of the passage?

A．Future Risk: Jobs Being Automated

B．Robot Revolution: Causes of Changes

C．Workplace Automation: Rise of Robots

D．Robotization: Solution to Unemployment

23、What good language learners do

There’s no such thing as being born “good at languages.” However, there are people who learn languages well, but that has nothing to do with them being naturally good at it. 【1】

Good Language Learners Aren’t Afraid to Take risks

A Dutch friend of mine speaks English, Spanish, German, French, and, of course, Dutch. I asked her what she thought was most important in learning a language. She answered immediately: “Courage.”

Good language learners face the fear of making mistakes. 【2】 For example, trying out different ways of learning vocabulary until finding a way that suits them best. They are not afraid of making mistakes because they know that with every mistake, they gain a small victory toward improving their language.

【3】

You may already have heard or read about learning styles. The idea is that everyone has a style of learning that suits them best. You want to figure out how you learn most easily and apply your preferred learning styles to your language learning.

When you learn something new, do you like to talk about it or think about it? Or do you get new information in pictures or words? Do you find it easier to learn facts or concepts? These are just a few of the questions that help you discover how you best learn.

Good Language Learners Are Actively Involved in Their Learning Process.

Good language learners take responsibility for their own learning. Besides regular language classes, they create opportunities to use the language. 【4】

Good language learners are independent. They do not expect to learn English only by sitting in the classroom, and they do not rely on the teacher for all of the learning. They are organized and active. They look for creative ways both inside and outside the classroom to try out what they have learned.

Good Language Learners Try to Think in the Language.

It may not be easy at first, but thinking in English is worth cultivating as a vital skill that will improve all areas of your language learning. To help you think in English, carry on a dialogue with yourself in English when walking along, sitting on a bus, or taking a break from other studies. 【5】

A．They experiment and take risks.

B．Use English whenever and wherever you can.

C．They push themselves to speak and try to become fluent.

D．Good language learners find a style of learning that suits them.

E．Good language learners try to figure out how the language works.

F．It has to do with their attitude and the way they approach learning.

G．They know practice is very important and are willing to devote their time to it.

24、It was late, about 10:15 p.m. Janice Esposito got off the train at Bellport, New York, went to her car and started driving home. She was so familiar with the route that she almost drove automatically: turned left to the Station Road, then another left onto Montauk Highway, and then—bam! When Esposito’s car had just crossed the railroad tracks, it hit another vehicle and was pushed back onto the tracks. Injured but mostly shocked by the crash and by the airbags that popped up, she was stuck in the vehicle.

As it happened, Pete DiPinto was just about to go to sleep when he heard a sharp noise and saw the accident not far outside his bedroom window. As a volunteer firefighter and retired teacher, DiPinto, who was 65，fetched a flashlight and rushed out without hesitation. “Any firefighter would have done what I did,” he said. “We’re always on duty.”

At first, he spotted the other car in the accident. After making sure that the driver was all right, DiPinto looked around and discovered Esposito’s car straddling the railway tracks. And then he heard the bell ring, which signaled a train’s arrival.

DiPinto rushed to Esposito’s car and broke the window on the driver’s side. Esposito looked up at him, with her eyes glazing over. “I don’t know where I am,” she said.

“You’re on the railroad tracks，”DiPinto yelled. “I have to get you off right now! The train was running toward them at a speed of some 105 kilometers per hour. The driver’s door fail to be opened due to the collision(碰撞), so DiPinto quickly run to the other side and was able to open the door. He put the airbags aside, seized her arms, pulled her toward him across the passenger seat until finally got her out and walked her to safety as swiftly as possible. Several seconds later, the train crashed into the vehicle. “It was like a Hollywood movie,” DiPinto told reporters the next day.

“Last night,” said Gregory Miglino Jr., Chief of the Department in South Country Ambulance, “the hero arrived in pajamas(睡衣裤), not in a fire truck.”

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

“It’s been potatoes all week, mom! Can’t we go to the diner for a burger and an ice cream? That’s all I want for my birthday!” Eve’s 8-year-old son Dylan threw his arms around her shoulders, looking at her hopefully. In her hear, she wanted to throw Dylan the biggest birthday party ever, with balloons and a delicious cake with 8 beautiful candles on it. But in reality, Eve could afford none of that. After being let go from the third temporary job and paying the overdue bills, she didn’t have enough money left.

“Sorry, baby. I can’t afford meals...” Eve said sadly. Seeing tears in his mother’s eyes, Dylan quickly changed his tone (语气). He’d seen her struggling to make ends meet and couldn’t stand hurting her. “Actually, mom, that potato salad looks delicious! Can I have some more?” He asked her cheerfully.

After the humble meal, Eve did housework. Dylan took out an envelope hidden on his bookshelf. He’d secretly saved a few dollars from the lunch money his mom had given him over the past few years. He counted the money. “$28!” His eyes lit up. “I can get a good meal for c mom!”

Dylan slid out with the envelope and walked to the next block, where he saw exactly what he’d expected—the mobile food truck! He’d seen it a few times and wondered why the place was always crowded. He waited until the crowd waiting to buy food at the counter cleared away

“Sir! Please give me everything I can get for $28!” Dylan requested eagerly. But Martin, the owner of the food truck, replied, “Sorry, kid. We’re out of everything today!”

Disappointed, Dylan was seated on the sidewalk, mumbling(咕哝): “It’s my birthday, but I can’t even treat her to a nice meal. She does so much for me. I thought, for once, I would do something nice for her.” He kept talking out loud to himself, giving into his urge to cry.

注意：

1.续写词数应为150左右；

2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

“Woah, happy birthday, boy!” Martin said, sitting down next to Dylan.
