26、Faced with a decreasing population and dropping workforce, Japan has been increasingly turning to robots for help. Over the years, the androids have been employed to perform a large number of human tasks, including building products and providing care and companionship for the elderly. The latest addition to the Japanese “workforce” may be Model-T. Designed by Telexistence Inc., this seven-foot-tall robot is currently undergoing trials restocking (补充货源) sandwiches, drinks, and ready meals on shelves at select locations of local convenience store chains Lawson and FamilyMart.

Telexistence has received funding from technology investment company Softbank Group and cell phone service operator KDDI in Japan, with overseas investors including European passenger aircraft maker Airbus Ventures. It named its robot Model-T, a nod to the Ford Motor car that began the age of mass motoring a century ago.

Compared with the warehouse robots being used by companies like Walmart and Amazon, which are only able to accomplish single, repeated tasks, Model-T has a much wider range of movement and can be used to restock objects of various sizes, making it ideal for convenience and grocery stores.

“It is able to grasp or pick and place objects of several different shapes and sizes into different locations,” Matt Komatsu, head of business development and operations at Telexistence Inc., told CNN Business. However, Model-T is not self-controlled. 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. Since the video connection between the robot and the human operator has a mere 50 milliseconds delay, the navigation (导航) process is smooth. Telexistence says the VR-controlled androids are easier to develop and repair. They are also ten times cheaper than self-controlled robots, which require complex programming

Though Model-T appears to have passed the trials, it is not quite ready to enter the labor force. Besides being a lot slower than human labour, it is also only able to lift 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】What is the main reason for the invention of Model-T?

A．The shortage of labour force.

B．The demands of senior citizens.

C．The development of technology.

D．The appeal of convenience stores.

【2】What’s the hidden message behind the name Model-T?

A．It is an updated version of Ford Motor.

B．It may create a new age like Ford Motor.

C．Its design is as fashionable as Ford Motor.

D．Its connection with Ford Motor is inseparable.

【3】What can we learn about Model-T according to Paragraph 4?

A．It doesn’t need repairs.

B．It performs tasks automatically.

C．It requires complex programming.

D．It depends largely on human’s operation.

【4】What does the last paragraph mainly discuss about Model-T?

A．Its applications.

B．Its advantages.

C．Its limitations.

D．Its functions.

28、People think what I do is so wonderful because I interview stars. And I have to admit that when I first started working at Sassy in 1987 I was excited about that part of my job for the first couple of months，anyway. Then I noticed how stars would fool me around for months. I could never get enough time with a star to find out anything interesting，and some acted just simply rudely. I started hating the way I was treated，and I was really disappointed to see that these people I had worshipped (崇拜) before were pretty ordinary. So I decided I would just tell the truth instead of keeping up their myths(神秘) .If the star was a bad guy，I would say so. If I thought anyone was stupid，I did not hold back that information.

I thought readers would appreciate that kind of honesty. Surprisingly，many of them hated me for it. I have gotten so many attacks on my character. In their eyes，being famous is everything，even more desirable than being truly creative and talented.

Why do we need stars? In fact，the media created stars to satisfy our basic need for gossip (闲聊)．Over time，talking about people we have never met and we are never likely to meet has become what we are crazy about. Thus，some people are more interested in the personal lives of the stars than in the lives of their own family and their own friends. That is why it is so ridiculous when a star wants to discuss only his or her work in an interview— as we care. We want the dirt on their personal lives.

There is another reason we worship stars. As a whole，our society is not as religious as it once was. It seems that people need something to fulfill them the way religion once did. Star worship exists as an unfulfilling desire for true heroes.

We make them stars，but then their reputation makes us feel unimportant，and we truly feel better about ourselves when they die. I am part of this whole process. No wonder I feel soiled at the end of workday.

【1】What are the stars like according to the author?

A．They always treat others rudely.

B．They always talk about something dull.

C．They are actually ordinary people.

D．They are usually honest and polite.

【2】We worship stars because   .

A．we need true mental heroes to support us

B．we can learn something useful from famous stars

C．we concern about the stars，family and friends

D．we like talking about the stars' dressing styles

【3】When the author is writing this article，his tone sounds   .

A．excited   B．angry C．worried D．calm

【4】What is the main purpose of the author writing the passage?

A．To show the disadvantages of working with stars.

B．To remind us not to worship famous stars blindly.

C．To laugh at the failures of stars he has interviewed.

D．To talk about the reasons why we worship stars.

29、

【1】What is the purpose of the email?

A．To provide a work schedule.

B．To make a travel arrangement.

C．To propose an adaptation of the storybooks.

D．To inform Mr. Russel of a schedule change.

【2】What can we learn about Mr. Russel?

A．He is attending a book fair.

B．He is drafting a research proposal.

C．He is advertising children’s storybooks.

D．He is working with others on a project.

【3】When is Mr. Russel expected to discuss the contents of his storybooks?

A．At 11:00 a.m. on Monday.

B．At 11:20 a.m. on Tuesday.

C．At 2:00 p.m. on Tuesday.

D．At 9:00 a.m. on Wednesday.

31、Directions: Complete the following passages by using the words in the box… Each word can only be used once. Do note that there is one word more than you need.

You are my Solskjaer,

My Ole Solskjaer

You make me happy when skies are grey.

You’ll never know dear.

How much I love you.

Please don’t take my Solskjaer away.

You are my Solskjaer

My only Solskjaer

You make my happy when skies are grey

Coz when it’s pouring you just keep scoring

Please don’t take our Solskjaer away

The above song is 【1】 from Jimmie Davis’ You Are My Sunshine by Manchester United (曼联) fans to express their overwhelming love towards Ole Gunnar Solskjaer (索尔斯克亚), their favourite striker—Babyface Killer. Although the fans never want to bid 【2】 to their beloved Ole, every journey always has an end, no matter how wonderful it is.

Finally, the story of Ole as a United player ended. On 28 August 2007 Ole Gunnar Solskjaer 【3】 called time on his united playing career-eleven years and three days after it began with a goalscoring debut.

On the field, the Norwegian became a perfect 【4】 of United’s never-say-die spirit in their most successful decade, often scoring late goals when points or trophies looked to have been lost. But off the field, he finally had to admit one defeat—in his battle with his 【5】 knee injury.

On retiring, ole said, “I would like to thank the manager, the coaching and medical staff and most of all the supporters. The supporters have been fantastic and were a real 【6】 to me when I was out injured. And their tremendous support will always be in my heart. I feel proud to have 【7】 United for 11 years and have some very special memories.”

Ole’s many career 【8】 include his four goals in 12 minutes as a substitute at Nottingham forest in United’s recrod away win (8-1). But surely the most special memory of all would be the Champions League final in 1999 when he best 【9】 his ability to seize the whisker of a chance. His injury-time-toe-poke past Bayern Munich keeper Oliver Kahn (卡恩) completed United’s Treble (三冠王) and 【10】 himself an irreplaceable place in Reds history.
