21、   For years, the U. S. has experienced a shortage of registered nurses. The Bureau of Labor Statistics projects that while the number of nurses will increase by 19 percent by 2022, demand will grow faster than supply, and that there will be over one million unfilled nursing jobs by then. So what's the solution? Robots.

Japan is ahead of the curve when it comes to this trend. Toyohashi University of Technology has developed Terapio, a robotic medical cart that can make hospital rounds, deliver medications and other items, and retrieve records. It follows a specific individual, such as a doctor or nurse, who can use it to record and access patient data. This type of robot will likely be one of the first to be implemented in hospitals because it has fairly minimal patient contact.

Robots capable of social engagement help with loneliness as well as cognitive functioning, but the robot itself doesn't have to engage directly - it can serve as an intermediary for human communication. Telepresence robots such as MantaroBot, Vgo, and Giraff can be controlled through a computer, smart-phone, or tablet, allowing family members or doctors to remotely monitor patients or Skype them, often via a screen where the robot's 'face' would be. If you can't got to the nursing home to visit grandma, you can use a telepresence robot to hang out with her. A 2016 study found that users and a 'consistently positive attitude" about the Giraff robot's ability to enhance communication and decrease feelings of loneliness.

A robot's appearance affects its ability to successfully interact with humans, which is why the R1KEN-TR1 Collaboration Center for Human-Interactive Robot Research decided to develop a robotic nurse that looks like a huge teddy bear. RTBA (Robot for Interactive Body Assistance), also known as 'Robear' , can help patients into and out of wheelchairs and beds with its strong arms.

On the less cute and more scary side there is Actroid F, which is so human-like that sonic patients may not know the difference. This conversational robot companion has cameras in its eyes, which allow it io track patients and use appropriate facial expressions and body language in its interactions. During a month- long hospital trial, researchers asked 70 patients how they felt being around the robot and "only three or four said they didn't like having it around." 

It's important to note that robotic nurses don't decide courses of treatment or make diagnoses (though robot doctors and surgeons may not be far oil). Instead, they perform routine and laborious tasks, freeing nurses up to attend to patients with immediate needs. This is one industry where it seems the integration of robots will lead to collaboration, not replacement.

22、   For some people, walking or running outdoors is a great way to work out. What may not be so pleasant is seeing trash all over the ground. Well, some people are doing something about it. They are plogging!

“Plogging” began in Sweden. The name combines the Swedish word “plocka,” which means to pick up, and the word Jogging, which means to run slowly. A Swedish man named Erik, started the movement in 2016. On the World Environment Day website, Erik says that he moved to Stockholm from a small community in northern Sweden each day he would ride his bike to work. Concerned about the amount of trash and litter he saw each day on his way to work, he took matters into his own hands.

Plogging, by that term, may have officially begun in Sweden. But many people who exercise outdoors have been doing this for years. Take Jeff Horowitz for example. He is a personal trainer in Washington, D.C. He often picks up trash while running outside. He even has turned it into a game; he will try to pick up the trash without stopping. “I didn’t know it was a thing really. This is just my personal ethics (道德标准), where I go for a run and if I happen to see a piece of garbage lying around and it’s within reach — it is a kind of a little test for me to see if I can grab it and throw it in a near trash can without stopping. And that way, I think, it gives me a little exercise and a little focus for my run. And it helps clean up the neighborhood,” he announced.

Today, logging is an official activity, one that is becoming increasingly popular. Cities around the world now hold logging events, “I would just hope people would think twice before dropping a garbage on the ground. We have containers... seems on every block. So, it’s easy to put your garbage in the trash cans. I just think people should think about it a little bit more. I do hope one day there will not be a need for plogging.” said an interviewee.

【1】Which of the following can replace the underlined phrase “took matters into his own hands”?

A. called on people to join him. B. appealed to people to go green.

C. began to pick up the trash. D. had the collected trash recycled.

【2】Like Jeff Horowitz, logging to many people has become a(an) ________ act.

A. automatic B. irresistible C. arbitrary D. temporary

【3】What is the idea that Logging events are meant to promote?

A. Jogging is truly beneficial. B. Trash cans should be within reach.

C. Littering is not acceptable. D. Communities should be kept clean.

【4】What can be a suitable title for the passage?

A. New Exercise Enjoys unbelievable popularity

B. New Exercise Trend Also Helps Environment

C. Plogging — a Fashionable Way to clear waste

D. Plogging — an Exercise Originating in Sweden

23、   For many, traveling is a way to escape the worst parts of daily life. But what if a travel destination witnessed terrible events, like war, genocide（大屠杀）or nuclear fallout? Would you still want to visit?

There’s a growing phenomenon called “dark tourism” people visit sites associated with death and human suffering.

“It’s living on the edge almost -if you go to a place where people have really died,” Karel Werdler, a senior lecturer in history at InHolland University in the Netherlands, told CNN.

When people go to traditional tourist spots, like Disneyland, or some wonders of the world, they may feel happy to enjoy something interesting or new. Dark tourism, however, not only provides that novelty（新奇）but also can make them feel lucky that their problems are so small in comparison.

According to the Guardian, “Dark tourism to some extent relies on the reverse（颠倒）of the old equation（方程式）of more familiar tourism.”

For many people, these sites offer a way to reflect on the mistakes of the past and the lessons we can learn from history.

For example, Chernobyl, in the Ukraine, is one of the most popular dark destinations. When its nuclear reactor（核反应堆）exploded in 1984, it released a radioactive（放射性的）cloud so devastating that the surrounding area will remain uninhabitable（不适宜居住的）for 20,000 years.

Despite the destruction and danger of the still present radiation, nearly 72,000 people visited the area last year, reports the BBC. One of these was Li Yimeng, who went on a tour of the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone. During the tour she saw the homes of the power plant’s former workers, deserted classrooms, and an abandoned playground.

“I experienced a whole range of emotions as I saw the area where they used to live, which is now a wasteland,” she told China Daily. She also emphasized the need to show respect when visiting locations like Chernobyl.

Though dark tourism is related to death and dying, “it tells us more about life and the living”, The Sun noted.

【1】What is the main idea of the article?

A.Comparison among different types of travel.

B.Information of a new travel trend.

C.Reasons why readers should get involved in dark tourism.

D.Introduction to one of the most popular dark destinations.

【2】What makes dark tourism different from traditional tourism?

A.It is more boring and unpleasant.

B.It is more popular with young people.

C.The destination usually has a dark past.

D.The scene teaches people how to face death.

【3】What does the underlined word “devastating” in Paragraph 7 probably mean?

A.Dark. B.Mysterious.

C.Enormous. D.Destructive.

【4】What does the author try to show with the example of Li Yimeng?

A.Dark tourism reminds people to take action to avoid disasters.

B.Dark tourism can be a scary experience.

C.Dark tourism makes people think about life.

D.Dark tourism warns people to be cautious about high technology.

24、You’ve heard of Black Friday, Small Business Saturday and Cyber Monday—they’re major shopping days. Now there’s another shopping day, and it’s called Secondhand Sunday, which is the brainchild of Poshmark, a social commerce marketplace that enables users to buy and sell clothing online, mostly used.

Poshmark asked global research firm Morning Consult to assess the secondhand market. It found over 90% of American adults say they would be willing to receive a secondhand or resold gift this season, but that only 34% are likely to buy them for others. This suggests a massive opportunity to close the gap—a task that Poshmark has undertaken with enthusiasm. Thus, Secondhand Sunday was born.

Poshmark is a platform on which individual sellers run their own shops and make extra cash. Secondhand Sunday has become a hit among them. While sellers have varying motivations for doing business, most are driven by the belief that buying secondhand items is important for the environment.

One such seller is Ashley Wheeler. Her husband worked as a truck driver at a landfill (垃圾填埋) site. They were both shocked at the amount of secondhand items that were getting dumped (倾倒), just because they were considered old or useless. Even when her husband asked to bring home items that still had value, he was rejected, because companies had paid the landfill site to deal with their garbage.

Wheeler said, “For us, that was a wake-up call. We realized it wasn’t just about us bringing our pre-owned items back into the market but finding other used items that companies were ready to deal with and help recycle back into use. That’s when we started to learn about Goodwill Outlets and other similar stores, where we source a majority of items. She now buys cast-off items from Goodwill’s “last chance” bins and resells them on Secondhand Sunday.

Amber McCasland, vice-president of Global Brand and Communications, said, “Secondhand Sunday is our first joint effort to change how people shop and gift during the holidays. The hope is that, instead of running out to buy new items as gifts, people will realize that it’s acceptable and even preferable to source used items instead.”

【1】What drove Poshmark to start Secondhand Sunday?

A．The findings of an assessment.

B．The increasing shopping waste.

C．Booming gift-exchange seasons.

D．Buyers’ strong desire for old items.

【2】What is the key factor for the popularity of Secondhand Sunday according to the text?

A．The great demand for more shopping days.

B．Some local landfill sites’ generous donation.

C．Shoppers’ curiosity about running businesses.

D．The improved public environmental awareness.

【3】What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 5 probably refer to?

A．Working as a truck driver at a landfill site.

B．Being rejected by some brand companies.

C．Seeing valuable used items dumped and landfilled.

D．Looking for secondhand items to resell.

【4】What does Secondhand Sunday encourage people to do?

A．Buy used items as gifts on holidays.

B．Be cautious of online shopping.

C．Donate used items to companies.

D．Form the habit of recycling waste.
