Danger in the desert
That day we were deep in Chile’s Atacama Desert. There the 31 could often be compared to Mars. Our team of four female microbiologists watched as a car full of curious men pulled up beside us. Because we were strangers in a(n) 32 place, our minds immediately jumped to ways we could protect ourselves. So, 33 , our Chilean fellow guide lifted the strong tool she’d been using to dig up plant roots. The rest of us tried to look braver than we felt.
We had come to this desert to conduct DNA studies on giant horsetails that somehow grow well in one of Earth’s driest places. We were searching for plants in the most remote locations, where they would be 34 by human activities such as mining and agriculture.
We’d been warned that the trip could be dangerous. Because we were traveling so far from fuel sources, we were told to take along a can of gas. Our destination was at the end of a(n) 35 single-lane dirt road lined with burned-out vehicles that had not successfully negotiated the steep downslope. Our sample site was near a village, and the people might not, we were told, 36 positively to us. We were instructed to report our travel plans at the nearest police station so that search parties would know where to look for us if we disappeared.
We had found the amazing plants and their bright green stocks 37 over our heads. They aroused the 38 of ancient wetland plants. The men approached as we finished collecting our samples. We waited tensely as a man 39 the car and walked toward us. To our surprise and relief, he politely invited us to visit their village—they wanted to show us a lovely church of which they were proud. That day, we learned about more than the microbiomes that help desert plants grow well. We also met a(n) 40 community who had likewise beautifully adapted to their challenging home.
III. Reading Comprehension Section A
Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
高三英语试卷 第 3 页 共 10 页
Beside pencil sharpeners and calendars in classrooms throughout Minnesota’s Lakeville Area Schools, there are now big blue boxes with a red button and the word POLICE. The button sends a text message to emergency correspondents, alerts the rest of the school to potential danger, and 41 1,200 pounds of magnetic (磁性的) force to keep the door shut.
It’s one of the measures that Michael Baumann has employed to 42 the schools in his district and protect against active shooters since he became supervisor in 2017. He hired four more advisers to improve mental-health services. He established a team to monitor 43 threats of violence. He spent $14.4 million installing the emergency-alert system and building panels into walls that are designed to stop bullets—all 44 helping students and teachers survive an active shooter.
“Everybody goes to bed and thinks, ‘That’ll never happen in my school district. ’ Well, I can tell you as a supervisor, that’s the 45 dream,” says Baumann, who previously served in the Army. “I felt like it was my 46 to do what I could.”
Fear of shootings has turned school security into a 47 industry. The market for school-security equipment and services reached $2.7 billion in 2017, according to a report by the research firm Omdia. That was before the 2018 shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla., further increased the focus on security measures at schools.
The school shooting in Uvalde, Texas, on May 24 this year has restarted the discussion about whether safety measures at schools can 48 mass shootings. And many politicians, after indicating that they are 49 to support gun-safety lawmaking, have argued instead that heightened physical security measures are necessary to prevent future attacks.
50 , experts say it’s not clear that such measures actually make schools safer. Research shows that the number of deadly shootings at schools has increased since 2012, during a period in which protective measures also 51 . There also isn’t clear evidence that school resource officers (SROs) improve safety. SROs were 52 in Uvalde and in Parkland before the gunmen entered the schools, but failed to stop those shootings.
“When we add metal detectors, observation cameras, increased police presence, active-shooter drills, and we turn schools into this mix of castles and 53 ,” says Bryan Warnick, an education professor at Ohio State University.
Although many school districts invest in security in the hopes of preventing shootings, some worry that reinforcing schools ultimately makes 54 responsible for solving the gun-violence outbreak.
“Schools are 55 with trainings and new procedures,” Warnick says. “It’s a larger social problem of easy access to guns, of lack of access to mental-health care.”

Section B
Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
(A)
“It’s a windy day in Laguna San Ignacio, and the waves seem to come from all directions,” said Sara Clemence in Bloomberg Businessweek. My children and I are riding on a 18-foot boat—small enough that we can reach down into the water if a gray whale swims up alongside. And then we see what we’ve come for: a heart-shaped shower of water and a dark mass rushing below it. As instructed, we splash (溅泼) the water strongly to signal the huge whale, which turns out to be a mother with her weeks-old baby. The baby soon swims beneath our boat, emerges to blow mist in my face, then “lies onto its side like a 2-ton puppy.” Leaning down, I touched its skin gently. “It feels electric. Also, a bit like petting a hard-boiled egg.”
San Ignacio is one of very few places where a person can pet a whale. The whales come each year to the coast of Baja California to give birth and to mate. If you’re lucky, you can “shake hands with a leatheryfin (鳍)” or even “plant a kiss on a cold, salty cheek.” I usually worry about such interactions, because wild creatures can become deeply stressed by human contact. But boat numbers are strictly limited in these protected waters. And any whale that approaches a boat does so on its own terms. Like that baby whale: “We see him a few times, and he seems to like being petted and splashed.”
So we are two species, connecting through touch, but also through eye contact: “More than once, after nosing around our boat, a young gray turns on its side so one dark, baseball-size eye is looking up at us.” Whalers used to call gray whales “devil fish” because these magnificent creatures turn violent when threatened—“or, say, when their babies are harmed.” That makes it feel even more of a blessing when, on our third day there, a large mama whale approaches the boat. “I’m splashing when I feel her nose press up into my hand.” Though she’s “wiser and apparently more alert” than her child, “she still decides to trust us.”
56. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A. The writer was on a whale-touching trip.
B. The writer’s boat went down with a huge wave.
C. The baby whale splashed water all over the writer.
D. The mother whale’s skin felt as hard as a boiled egg.
57. By “does so on its own terms” (in paragraph 2), the writer means whales in San Ignacio are ______.
A. mad with too many visitors B. ready for hands-on attention
C. restricted in swimming routes D. enclosed in their safety zones
58. Gray whales got the name of “devil fish” from their ______.
A. strange appearance B. inborn violence
C. surprisingly enormous size D. fierceness in danger
59. The writer’s implied purpose in the passage is to ______.
A. popularize the knowledge of whales B. show admiration for whales’ motherhood
C. share an experience of the sea voyage D. advocate harmony between man and nature

(C)
In the film Inside Out, 11-year-old Riley’s emotions are personified as brightly colored internal figures that drive her behaviors. The same five emotions—anger, fear, disgust (憎恶), sadness, and joy—appear in every other character’s head as well, functioning in much the same way in each individual. In Western cultures, this is the case, argues psychologist Batja Mesquita in Between Us. Emotions in such contexts, she writes, are considered “MINE,” or “Mental, INside the person, and Essentialist,” the latter defined in the book as always having the same properties.
This conception of emotion is not universal, however. Emotions elsewhere, she argues, are thought of as “OURS”—“OUtside the person, Relational, and Situated.” Using this distinction, Mesquita sets about contrasting emotions in “the West,” where the individual is the top concern, with “the Rest,” where community is prioritized.
Mesquita describes amae as a central emotion in Japanese culture, where it builds interdependence by encouraging tolerance in parenting process. She describes hasham—which includes shame, embarrassment, and social respectability—as a fundamental emotion for Egyptian Bedouins (游牧人). Such observations provide a background for her to explore a range of issues, including childhood socialization, the nature of friendship, the role of language in shaping emotions, and cross-cultural communication in a globalized world.
Despite Mesquita’s emphasis on cross-cultural emotions, there is little discussion of whether the MINE-OURS dichotomy (二分法) accurately explains global cultural variation. Other scholars have noted, for example, that hunter-gatherer societies at the same time emphasize both individual self-government and social cooperation. And in an apparent contradiction to her earlier arguments, Mesquita herself ultimately concludes that Westerners have OURS emotions.
Taken as a whole, however, the book contributes much to the discussion of the origins of emotions, presenting a remarkable collection of cross-cultural studies intermixed with personal stories about foreign residents’ struggles to reunite diverse emotional and social worlds. In chapter 8, for example, Mesquita describes an incident where she—a Dutch native living in the United States—bumped into the famous American psychologist Hazel Markus at a conference Markus helped organize. Wishing to express understanding of Markus’s workload, Mesquita declared “You look a little tired.” The remark appeared to make Markus nervous and confused but was intended as an expression of sympathy—to sympathize in Dutch is to acknowledge suffering, not offer comfort as in the US.
高三英语试卷 第 7 页 共 10 页
The book’s take-home message is fundamental: There are no natural emotions, no inborn emotions, no universal emotions. Mesquita argues that emotions are “meaning making” and “a preparation for action” and that the idea of “emotions as inner states” is a Western construct. Instead, she suggests that emotions are a “dance” cocreated between people who live in a specific cultural context at a particular historical moment.
63. In Between Us, Mesquita indicates that ______.
A. the Japanese build kids’ emotion of shame in parenting
B. MINE-OURS dichotomy is the very cause of cross-cultural emotions
C. emotions outside “the West” are considered community-centred
D. hunter-gatherers have both emotions of “OURS” and “MINE”
64. We can infer from the incident in paragraph 5 that ______.
A. the emotion of sympathy is to offer help in Dutch culture
B. foreign residents from different cultures usually unite as one
C. as Dutch Mesquita shows her personality of warmth and caring
D. cross-cultural emotional exchanges probably cause misunderstanding
65. What is Mesquita’s main argument about emotions in her book?
A. Family education hardly influences one’s emotions.
B. Sociocultural contexts largely contribute to emotions.
C. Western people’s emotions have no properties of OURS.
D. Internal factors play a vital role in shaping how we feel.
66. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?
A. The cultural landscape of emotions B. The cultural origin of emotions
C. The cultural convention of emotions D. The cultural shock of emotions
Section C
Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.
A. Typically, their deliveries have to occur within 30 seconds.
B. Perhaps you’re wondering about issues such as the cost and safety factors.
C. In real life robots function in many manufacturing and household situations.
D. Regardless, customers face longer wait times, fewer menu choices and higher prices.
E. Server robots are planned to be given new functions, such as performing and holding conversations with customers.
F. Restaurant owners are finding server robots ideal for performing repetitive tasks, however many there are.
Robots that serve
Robots used to be found only in science fiction. In the 1960s, the animated (动画片的) space-age family the Jetsons had a robotic maid who could do household tasks. In the 2014 movie Big Hero 6, the robot Baymax could diagnose and heal illnesses instantly. 67 In the field of medicine, robot patients help train
doctors and nurses by pretending they have a variety of health conditions. Now robots are finding a home in the food service industry.
The globally spread disease and resulting economic crisis have created a lack of restaurant workers. Since restaurants don’t have enough workers, the remaining staff must work harder. 68 Some businesspersons are lending a hand—a robotic hand—in the form of server robots. These robots are not exactly modeled after Rosey, the Jetsons’ robotic household servant, but they are pretty clever and very cute.
Server robots come in several different varieties. Many have a design that looks like a rolling cart. One model named Bella even has a cute cat-like face. Many are fairly short and shaped like R2D2 of Star Wars fame. They are designed to deliver dishes to customers in a restaurant. They are also just the right height for customers to easily reach them. 69 They can not only deliver delicious food to hungry customers, but also get back dirty dishes at the end of the meal.
70 Concerning the price, a server robot costs from a few thousand to several thousand dollars. And in 2021, a restaurant even rented one for as low as US$15 per day. Regarding safety, special sensors on the robots keep them from crashing into customers. Because there aren’t enough restaurant workers, filling positions with these robotic servers is a no-brainer. Don’t be surprised if you see one rolling up to your table
soon.
IV. Summary Writing
Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize in no more than 60 words the main idea of the passage and how it is illustrated. Use your own words as far as possible.
Men may eat more in summer
Winter may be seen as the time to fill up with food, but in fact, sunny summer months are when men eat more calories—unlike women.
The effect seems to occur because sunlight makes the skin release an appetite-stimulating hormone (激素), says Carmit Levy at Tel Aviv University in Israel. Levy and her colleagues noticed the effect in experiments in mice, in which male animals exposed to UV light (紫外线) ate more food.
To see if humans do the same, the team used data on about 3000 people who had filled in questionnaires as part of the Israeli government’s national health and nutrition survey. Between March and September, the men consumed about 17 per cent more calories per day than they did during the rest of the year, while the women’s food intake stayed about the same.
Human appetite is influenced by many complex systems, but a substance called ghrelin, a hormone produced in the body that stimulates appetite, seems to be the only hormone that directly stimulates eating. It was thought to be mainly produced by the stomach when empty. “It tells the brain to eat more,” says Caroline Gorvin at the University of Birmingham, UK.
Further investigation revealed that exposing male mice to UVB (紫外线 B 段波) radiation, which is present in sunlight, raised levels of ghrelin production by fat cells in their skin. This was blocked by the female sex hormone, which may explain why the effect wasn’t seen in the female mice or the women. Boosted ghrelin production was also seen in men’s skin samples that were exposed to UV light in the lab.
Skin hasn’t previously been thought to play a role in appetite, says Gorvin. The reason for the effect is unclear, but it may be an adaptive response to fuel greater physical activity in summer, says Levy.

Skin may affect men's appetite. Experiments on mice and human skin samples reveal that exposure to UV light causes more production of ghrelin, an appetite-stimulating hormone, in male skin, but not in female skin thanks to their sex hormone. That may explain why men, not women, eat more for physical activities in summer sunlight.(54 words)

South London hairstylist Joshua Coombs was carrying his work tools home when he encountered a homeless man one day in 2015.Without thinking twice, he offered him a frec haircut.The man's look was transformed, but Coombs says what mattered more was their conversation. Coombs began offering outdoor cuts and shaves to more people living on the streets, listening to their experiences as he did so.
“Those stories really moved me,”says Coombs, who feels they need to be shared. With permission, he started posting dramatic before-and-after photos,along with accounts,under the Instagram username @dosomethingfomothing.
Coombs has now given hundreds of haircuts in some 15 countries, including India, Greece and Mexico. His posts have inspired others, such as a hairdresser in Iran and a U.K. street animal doctor, to offer free services.“We can live with a smile and an open, loving heart space,”says Coombs,“rather than one that's closed because
somcone looks different.”

Most lollipop men or women are responsible adults who perform a uscful role in socicty, helping children get across the road next to schools. However, one such lollipop woman, Linda, managed to losc her job.
It all happened when Michael, a parent from the local school, noticed something very strange:“I was standing outside the school, waiting for my daughter to come out,” Michacl explained,“when I saw how Linda seemed to be walking backwards and forwards across the road. Then, I saw how she held a lamp post, and at another moment how she tried to cross the road, but found herself walking sideways, just like a crab. I thought, ‘this is very strange, she seems to be drunk`.And then my suspicions were confirmed when I saw her being sick in a nearby bush.”
Michael immediately contacted the police. When they arrived, they found Linda to be under the influence of alcohol and arrested her. She was suspended from her job and waited for a court case.

Danger in the desert
That day we were deep in Chile’s Atacama Desert. There the 31 could often be compared to Mars. Our team of four female microbiologists watched as a car full of curious men pulled up beside us. Because we were strangers in a(n) 32 place, our minds immediately jumped to ways we could protect ourselves. So, 33 , our Chilean fellow guide lifted the strong tool she’d been using to dig up plant roots. The rest of us tried to look braver than we felt.
We had come to this desert to conduct DNA studies on giant horsetails that somehow grow well in one of Earth’s driest places. We were searching for plants in the most remote locations, where they would be 34 by human activities such as mining and agriculture.
We’d been warned that the trip could be dangerous. Because we were traveling so far from fuel sources, we were told to take along a can of gas. Our destination was at the end of a(n) 35 single-lane dirt road lined with burned-out vehicles that had not successfully negotiated the steep downslope. Our sample site was near a village, and the people might not, we were told, 36 positively to us. We were instructed to report our travel plans at the nearest police station so that search parties would know where to look for us if we disappeared.
We had found the amazing plants and their bright green stocks 37 over our heads. They aroused the 38 of ancient wetland plants. The men approached as we finished collecting our samples. We waited tensely as a man 39 the car and walked toward us. To our surprise and relief, he politely invited us to visit their village—they wanted to show us a lovely church of which they were proud. That day, we learned about more than the microbiomes that help desert plants grow well. We also met a(n) 40 community who had likewise beautifully adapted to their challenging home.

Beside pencil sharpeners and calendars in classrooms throughout Minnesota’s Lakeville Area Schools, there are now big blue boxes with a red button and the word POLICE. The button sends a text message to emergency correspondents, alerts the rest of the school to potential danger, and 41 1,200 pounds of magnetic (磁性的) force to keep the door shut.
It’s one of the measures that Michael Baumann has employed to 42 the schools in his district and protect against active shooters since he became supervisor in 2017. He hired four more advisers to improve mental-health services. He established a team to monitor 43 threats of violence. He spent $14.4 million installing the emergency-alert system and building panels into walls that are designed to stop bullets—all 44 helping students and teachers survive an active shooter.
“Everybody goes to bed and thinks, ‘That’ll never happen in my school district. ’ Well, I can tell you as a supervisor, that’s the 45 dream,” says Baumann, who previously served in the Army. “I felt like it was my 46 to do what I could.”
Fear of shootings has turned school security into a 47 industry. The market for school-security equipment and services reached $2.7 billion in 2017, according to a report by the research firm Omdia. That was before the 2018 shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla., further increased the focus on security measures at schools.
The school shooting in Uvalde, Texas, on May 24 this year has restarted the discussion about whether safety measures at schools can 48 mass shootings. And many politicians, after indicating that they are 49 to support gun-safety lawmaking, have argued instead that heightened physical security measures are necessary to prevent future attacks.
50 , experts say it’s not clear that such measures actually make schools safer. Research shows that the number of deadly shootings at schools has increased since 2012, during a period in which protective measures also 51 . There also isn’t clear evidence that school resource officers (SROs) improve safety. SROs were 52 in Uvalde and in Parkland before the gunmen entered the schools, but failed to stop those shootings.
“When we add metal detectors, observation cameras, increased police presence, active-shooter drills, and we turn schools into this mix of castles and 53 ,” says Bryan Warnick, an education professor at Ohio State University.
Although many school districts invest in security in the hopes of preventing shootings, some worry that reinforcing schools ultimately makes 54 responsible for solving the gun-violence outbreak.
“Schools are 55 with trainings and new procedures,” Warnick says. “It’s a larger social problem of easy access to guns, of lack of access to mental-health care.”

Section B
Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
(A)
“It’s a windy day in Laguna San Ignacio, and the waves seem to come from all directions,” said Sara Clemence in Bloomberg Businessweek. My children and I are riding on a 18-foot boat—small enough that we can reach down into the water if a gray whale swims up alongside. And then we see what we’ve come for: a heart-shaped shower of water and a dark mass rushing below it. As instructed, we splash (溅泼) the water strongly to signal the huge whale, which turns out to be a mother with her weeks-old baby. The baby soon swims beneath our boat, emerges to blow mist in my face, then “lies onto its side like a 2-ton puppy.” Leaning down, I touched its skin gently. “It feels electric. Also, a bit like petting a hard-boiled egg.”
San Ignacio is one of very few places where a person can pet a whale. The whales come each year to the coast of Baja California to give birth and to mate. If you’re lucky, you can “shake hands with a leatheryfin (鳍)” or even “plant a kiss on a cold, salty cheek.” I usually worry about such interactions, because wild creatures can become deeply stressed by human contact. But boat numbers are strictly limited in these protected waters. And any whale that approaches a boat does so on its own terms. Like that baby whale: “We see him a few times, and he seems to like being petted and splashed.”
So we are two species, connecting through touch, but also through eye contact: “More than once, after nosing around our boat, a young gray turns on its side so one dark, baseball-size eye is looking up at us.” Whalers used to call gray whales “devil fish” because these magnificent creatures turn violent when threatened—“or, say, when their babies are harmed.” That makes it feel even more of a blessing when, on our third day there, a large mama whale approaches the boat. “I’m splashing when I feel her nose press up into my hand.” Though she’s “wiser and apparently more alert” than her child, “she still decides to trust us.”
56. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A. The writer was on a whale-touching trip.
B. The writer’s boat went down with a huge wave.
C. The baby whale splashed water all over the writer.
D. The mother whale’s skin felt as hard as a boiled egg.
57. By “does so on its own terms” (in paragraph 2), the writer means whales in San Ignacio are ______.
A. mad with too many visitors B. ready for hands-on attention
C. restricted in swimming routes D. enclosed in their safety zones
58. Gray whales got the name of “devil fish” from their ______.
A. strange appearance B. inborn violence
C. surprisingly enormous size D. fierceness in danger
59. The writer’s implied purpose in the passage is to ______.
A. popularize the knowledge of whales B. show admiration for whales’ motherhood
C. share an experience of the sea voyage D. advocate harmony between man and nature

(C)
In the film Inside Out, 11-year-old Riley’s emotions are personified as brightly colored internal figures that drive her behaviors. The same five emotions—anger, fear, disgust (憎恶), sadness, and joy—appear in every other character’s head as well, functioning in much the same way in each individual. In Western cultures, this is the case, argues psychologist Batja Mesquita in Between Us. Emotions in such contexts, she writes, are considered “MINE,” or “Mental, INside the person, and Essentialist,” the latter defined in the book as always having the same properties.
This conception of emotion is not universal, however. Emotions elsewhere, she argues, are thought of as “OURS”—“OUtside the person, Relational, and Situated.” Using this distinction, Mesquita sets about contrasting emotions in “the West,” where the individual is the top concern, with “the Rest,” where community is prioritized.
Mesquita describes amae as a central emotion in Japanese culture, where it builds interdependence by encouraging tolerance in parenting process. She describes hasham—which includes shame, embarrassment, and social respectability—as a fundamental emotion for Egyptian Bedouins (游牧人). Such observations provide a background for her to explore a range of issues, including childhood socialization, the nature of friendship, the role of language in shaping emotions, and cross-cultural communication in a globalized world.
Despite Mesquita’s emphasis on cross-cultural emotions, there is little discussion of whether the MINE-OURS dichotomy (二分法) accurately explains global cultural variation. Other scholars have noted, for example, that hunter-gatherer societies at the same time emphasize both individual self-government and social cooperation. And in an apparent contradiction to her earlier arguments, Mesquita herself ultimately concludes that Westerners have OURS emotions.
Taken as a whole, however, the book contributes much to the discussion of the origins of emotions, presenting a remarkable collection of cross-cultural studies intermixed with personal stories about foreign residents’ struggles to reunite diverse emotional and social worlds. In chapter 8, for example, Mesquita describes an incident where she—a Dutch native living in the United States—bumped into the famous American psychologist Hazel Markus at a conference Markus helped organize. Wishing to express understanding of Markus’s workload, Mesquita declared “You look a little tired.” The remark appeared to make Markus nervous and confused but was intended as an expression of sympathy—to sympathize in Dutch is to acknowledge suffering, not offer comfort as in the US.
高三英语试卷 第 7 页 共 10 页
The book’s take-home message is fundamental: There are no natural emotions, no inborn emotions, no universal emotions. Mesquita argues that emotions are “meaning making” and “a preparation for action” and that the idea of “emotions as inner states” is a Western construct. Instead, she suggests that emotions are a “dance” cocreated between people who live in a specific cultural context at a particular historical moment.
63. In Between Us, Mesquita indicates that ______.
A. the Japanese build kids’ emotion of shame in parenting
B. MINE-OURS dichotomy is the very cause of cross-cultural emotions
C. emotions outside “the West” are considered community-centred
D. hunter-gatherers have both emotions of “OURS” and “MINE”
64. We can infer from the incident in paragraph 5 that ______.
A. the emotion of sympathy is to offer help in Dutch culture
B. foreign residents from different cultures usually unite as one
C. as Dutch Mesquita shows her personality of warmth and caring
D. cross-cultural emotional exchanges probably cause misunderstanding
65. What is Mesquita’s main argument about emotions in her book?
A. Family education hardly influences one’s emotions.
B. Sociocultural contexts largely contribute to emotions.
C. Western people’s emotions have no properties of OURS.
D. Internal factors play a vital role in shaping how we feel.
66. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?
A. The cultural landscape of emotions B. The cultural origin of emotions
C. The cultural convention of emotions D. The cultural shock of emotions
Section C
Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.
A. Typically, their deliveries have to occur within 30 seconds.
B. Perhaps you’re wondering about issues such as the cost and safety factors.
C. In real life robots function in many manufacturing and household situations.
D. Regardless, customers face longer wait times, fewer menu choices and higher prices.
E. Server robots are planned to be given new functions, such as performing and holding conversations with customers.
F. Restaurant owners are finding server robots ideal for performing repetitive tasks, however many there are.
Robots that serve
Robots used to be found only in science fiction. In the 1960s, the animated (动画片的) space-age family the Jetsons had a robotic maid who could do household tasks. In the 2014 movie Big Hero 6, the robot Baymax could diagnose and heal illnesses instantly. 67 In the field of medicine, robot patients help train
doctors and nurses by pretending they have a variety of health conditions. Now robots are finding a home in the food service industry.
The globally spread disease and resulting economic crisis have created a lack of restaurant workers. Since restaurants don’t have enough workers, the remaining staff must work harder. 68 Some businesspersons are lending a hand—a robotic hand—in the form of server robots. These robots are not exactly modeled after Rosey, the Jetsons’ robotic household servant, but they are pretty clever and very cute.
Server robots come in several different varieties. Many have a design that looks like a rolling cart. One model named Bella even has a cute cat-like face. Many are fairly short and shaped like R2D2 of Star Wars fame. They are designed to deliver dishes to customers in a restaurant. They are also just the right height for customers to easily reach them. 69 They can not only deliver delicious food to hungry customers, but also get back dirty dishes at the end of the meal.
70 Concerning the price, a server robot costs from a few thousand to several thousand dollars. And in 2021, a restaurant even rented one for as low as US$15 per day. Regarding safety, special sensors on the robots keep them from crashing into customers. Because there aren’t enough restaurant workers, filling positions with these robotic servers is a no-brainer. Don’t be surprised if you see one rolling up to your table
soon.
IV. Summary Writing
Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize in no more than 60 words the main idea of the passage and how it is illustrated. Use your own words as far as possible.
Men may eat more in summer
Winter may be seen as the time to fill up with food, but in fact, sunny summer months are when men eat more calories—unlike women.
The effect seems to occur because sunlight makes the skin release an appetite-stimulating hormone (激素), says Carmit Levy at Tel Aviv University in Israel. Levy and her colleagues noticed the effect in experiments in mice, in which male animals exposed to UV light (紫外线) ate more food.
To see if humans do the same, the team used data on about 3000 people who had filled in questionnaires as part of the Israeli government’s national health and nutrition survey. Between March and September, the men consumed about 17 per cent more calories per day than they did during the rest of the year, while the women’s food intake stayed about the same.
Human appetite is influenced by many complex systems, but a substance called ghrelin, a hormone produced in the body that stimulates appetite, seems to be the only hormone that directly stimulates eating. It was thought to be mainly produced by the stomach when empty. “It tells the brain to eat more,” says Caroline Gorvin at the University of Birmingham, UK.
Further investigation revealed that exposing male mice to UVB (紫外线 B 段波) radiation, which is present in sunlight, raised levels of ghrelin production by fat cells in their skin. This was blocked by the female sex hormone, which may explain why the effect wasn’t seen in the female mice or the women. Boosted ghrelin production was also seen in men’s skin samples that were exposed to UV light in the lab.
Skin hasn’t previously been thought to play a role in appetite, says Gorvin. The reason for the effect is unclear, but it may be an adaptive response to fuel greater physical activity in summer, says Levy.

IV.Summary Writing(共10分)
Skin may affect men's appetite. Experiments on mice and human skin samples reveal that exposure to UV light causes more production of ghrelin, an appetite-stimulating hormone, in male skin, but not in female skin thanks to their sex hormone. That may explain why men, not women, eat more for physical activities in summer sunlight.(54 words)

Sectlon B
DIrectlons: In Section B, you will hear two short passages and one longer conversation.After each passage or conversation, you will be asked several questions. The passages and the conversation will be read twice, but the questions will be spoken only once. When you hear a question, read the four possible answers on your paper and
decide which one is the best answer to the question you have heard.
Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage.
About 150 million people around the world are homeless, but it takes just one person to make a difference. South London hairstylist Joshua Coombs was carrying his work tools home when he encountered a homeless man one day in 2015.Without thinking twice, he offered him a frec haircut.The man's look was transformed, but Coombs says what mattered more was their conversation. Coombs began offering outdoor cuts and shaves to more people living on the streets, listening to their experiences as he did so.
“Those stories really moved me,”says Coombs, who feels they need to be shared. With permission, he started posting dramatic before-and-after photos,along with accounts,under the Instagram username @dosomethingfomothing.
Coombs has now given hundreds of haircuts in some 15 countries, including India, Greece and Mexico. His posts have inspired others, such as a hairdresser in Iran and a U.K. street animal doctor, to offer free services.“We can live with a smile and an open, loving heart space,”says Coombs,“rather than one that's closed because
somcone looks different.”
Now listen again, pleasc.
Questions
11.What made Coombs continually offer to help the homeless?
12.How did Coombs manage to inspire others?
13.What is the passage mainly about?
Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage.
Have you ever heard of a lollipop man or woman? They're a common feature of life in Britain, and they are basically men or women who help school-children cross roads near primary schools. They usually wear yellow jackets and carry large sticks with a circle at the top, which look like giant lollipops. Most lollipop men or women are responsible adults who perform a uscful role in socicty, helping children get across the road next to schools. However, one such lollipop woman, Linda, managed to losc her job.
It all happened when Michael, a parent from the local school, noticed something very strange:“I was standing outside the school, waiting for my daughter to come out,” Michacl explained,“when I saw how Linda seemed to be walking backwards and forwards across the road. Then, I saw how she held a lamp post, and at another moment how she tried to cross the road, but found herself walking sideways, just like a crab. I thought, ‘this is very strange, she seems to be drunk`.And then my suspicions were confirmed when I saw her being sick in a nearby bush.”
Michael immediately contacted the police. When they arrived, they found Linda to be under the influence of alcohol and arrested her. She was suspended from her job and waited for a court case.
Now listen again, please.
Questions

harassed the dumping ships with.
W: Hey? Hold on, Peter.I thought you said your organization was non-violent. What do you mean by“harass"?

sea.We talk to the men and try to change,you know, yell at them to stop.We gencrally make ourselves as
much of a trouble as possible.

and good luck. And thanks for talking with us.
