CES is produced by the Consumer Technology Association known as the place where many companies launch their latest technology offerings. Here is a look at some of the top products presented at CES 2022.

It can also be programmed based on an exact map of a users home.The Retriever is designed “ to serve as an extra pair of hands and lighten the load of everyday tasks in the home ”.
Self-driving tractor
American-based farm equipment manufacturer John Deere presented a fully self-driving tractor equipped with six different cameras and a series of sensors to guide the tractor through the fields. Farmers can control the vehicle and see the tractor’s progress in real-time through a mobile device which is to help farmers do more work with less equipment and people.

Raquel Montes, a Spanish national, moved to China last November, where she said she had her first lockdown (封闭) experience during the COVID-19. “I think I’m just being patient. I’m totally connected all the time with people. I have many friends calling me all the time. And I’m working at home. So it’s OK for me,” said she. She has also been keeping positive and happy. She does dance every day.
It’s her neighbor Melinda who invited her to do voluntary work. The Spaniard said, “I’m happy to help because the security guys are bringing packages to us all the time and they must be exhausted. I also want to feel that I’m doing something for others.” Montes and other volunteers delivered bakery products to their neighbors, put the boxes in front of the door, knocked and left.
“It was quite fun,” she recalled. “When I went home that day, I felt much better because I did something and I got some fresh air. It was a good feeling. I told Melinda, if they need me, I can go every day and help out.” Through voluntary work, Montes has come to know more Chinese and foreigners, and became friends with them.
Montes also celebrated a very special birthday on April 11—under lockdown. “For me, my birthday is a big day and I always celebrate it like a party,” she stated. “I wasn’t expecting much this year. I wasn’t expecting flowers or any feast. But it was so much fun because I got surprises.” A friend who was locked down in her office managed to get flowers for her. Montes gushed, “I also had many phone calls from my friends around the world. ” Before midnight that day, Melinda knocked on her door and asked her to check the chair outside. Surprisingly, she saw a small cake and candles prepared by neighbors.
“I have everything, a cake, candles, and flowers. It was great, ” she said.
4．What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 1?

The computer is a powerful tool. With it, teachers can improve the classroom experience in a variety of ways. But misuse of the computer will probably result in disadvantages.
To investigate the way technology is being used in our school district, I recently spoke with Jeanine Lowell, who teaches social studies at Lake Town Middle School. Mrs. Lowell informed me that computers have helped to increase students’ motivation and prepare them for life in a technological society. “These kids are probably going to be using some kind of computer system when they graduate from high school,” Lowell noted. “It’s important that we provide a proper introduction to them in the classroom.” Lowell also observed that the computers have made it easier to promote different areas of learning, so that students can work on a project or topic that relates to more than one subject.
With all of these benefits, however, come a few shortcomings. Although Mrs. Lowell has nearly wallpapered her room with warnings that state: “The computer is NOT A TOY”, not everyone in the class agrees with this idea. Some students get easily distracted (分心) by the internet and are quite good at making it look as if they are doing work when they are really checking their email or watching videos. “You’ve got to be three steps ahead,” she told me, “if you want to stay on top of what they’re actually doing on the computer.”
Some schools use some type of blocking software to ensure that students cannot access improper sites at school. More complex programs use a server-based, network-wide program instead of software that runs on personal computers. Research has shown that in a way these server-based blocking programs provide better security, because some students can disable the software on a personal computer.
However, there is no replacement for the watchful eye of a good teacher like Jeanine Lowell. There are also no electronic cure-alls for any of education’s many challenges. Technology is a useful tool, but that is all it is: a tool.
8．Where is this passage most likely from?
A．A newspaper. B．An advertisement.
C．A novel. D．A diary.
9．Which of the following isn’t the benefit of computer use in the classroom?
A．Improved motivation in the classroom.
B．Opportunities for learning across different subjects.
C．Increased preparation for the future use in the workplace.
D．Convenience of sharing ideas with people living across the globe.
10．The best way to prevent students from accessing improper sites on school computers is to ______.
A．post warning signs throughout the classroom
B．use blocking software on personal computers
C．monitor what students do on the computers carefully
D．use server-based software programs on personal computers
11．What is the writer’s opinion on the use of computers in the classroom?
A．It does more harm than good.
B．It is only supported by experts.
C．It contributes to teaching in some way.
D．It is more beneficial to teachers than students.
D
One of the hardest things in life is sticking to a healthy diet. Experts recommend you plan your meals in advance, so you aren’t attracted when faced with less-than-healthy choices. It’ s estimated(评估) that the average American eats almost 25 percent of their daily calories from snacking alone, and snacking is the leading cause of childhood obesity.
Therefore, there are two choices available(ready for use)：stop snacking (hard) or snack healthier (simple). But, for many of us, telling apart what’s “healthy” and how much to consume(消耗)are two different things. But, if you don’t keep the amount in check it can seriously ruin your diet. It’s easy to consume double or triple (增至三倍) the amount. If you’re struggling to keep you and your family’s snacking under control, you may be interested in the new online store called NatureBox. com, offering a new service delivered right to your front door on a monthly basis.
After you sign up on their website and provide some information about your taste preferences and anything else, the company sends you a box every month containing a delicious choice of healthy snack foods. A box includes 12-15 servings across 4 to 5 different NatureBox snacks---enough to last you and your family for a month.
Each box costs just under $ 20 and shipping(delivering) is always free. NatureBox is meant to fit your lifestyle by providing you with snacks you’ll enjoy and look forward to eating. You can easily order what you want to receive based on the snacks you love most. And now, NatureBox is offering an immediate 25% off their first order. Just enter the code “livehealthy” when you join.
Click here to sign up for your risk-free order.
12．How many percents of calories from snacks do the average American eat each week?
A．Nearly 52. B．About 25. C．More than 125. D．175 or so.
13．What does the phrase “in check” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A．In control. B．In danger. C．In need. D．In store.
14．According to the passage what is NatureBox?
A．A box. B．An online store. C．A code. D．A service.
15．Where is the passage probably taken from?
A．A website. B．A newspaper. C．A textbook. D．A science magazine.

His teacher explained that Clayton refused to stay at his desk and had trouble even in writing his name.
Then Ms. Bonnie gave Clayton fitted gloves to help with his holding the pen. At first, Clayton was excited but later he refused to use the aids because he wanted to be just like the other kids. My heart was broken and I was a little disappointed at Clayton’s performance.
Since Jill lived next door, she would drop Clayton off at my house everyday. While prepared him an after-schoo- snack one day, asked if there was certificate in his backpack from his teacher.

本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了现在孩子在户外玩耍的时间越来越少，但是户外玩耍对孩子来说是有好处的，无论是父母带着孩子在外面玩或者让孩子自己自由地玩耍都对孩子的成长有好处。
36．考查形容词。句意：孩子们呆在室内的时间越来越长。空处作定语，修饰名词amount(数量)，应用形容词increasing，表示“不断增加的”。故填increasing。
37．考查非谓语动词。句意：我们的祖父母把大部分空闲时间都花在探索户外世界，与他们相比，现在你更有可能发现孩子们呆在家里。分析句子结构可知，空处是非谓语动词做状语，动词compare(比较)的逻辑主语是主句主语kids(孩子们)，且二者之间构成被动关系，所以此处应用compare的过去分词形式compared，单词位于句首，首字母大写。故填Compared。
38．考查语态。句意：我们的祖父母把大部分空闲时间都花在探索户外世界，与他们相比，现在你更有可能发现孩子们呆在家里。be likely to do sth.是固定搭配，表示“有可能做某事”，且此处动词find(发现)与主语kids之间为被动关系，由前面的不定式符号to可知，此处应用be found。故填be found。
39．考查固定搭配。句意：由于父母的担心和绿色空间的减少，现在往往是父母带着孩子在户外玩。thanks to是固定搭配，表示“多亏、由于”，单词位于句首，首字母大写。故填Thanks。
40．考查定语从句。句意：由于父母的担心和绿色空间的减少，现在往往是父母带着孩子在户外玩。分析句子结构可知，这里是限定性定语从句，先行词是time(时间)，指物，在定语从句中做主语，应用关系代词that或which引导定语从句。故填that/which。
41．考查形容词。句意：父母带着孩子玩耍和孩子自由地玩耍有很大的不同，且这两种玩耍也无法带来同样的好处。be different from是固定搭配，表示“与……不同”。故填different。
42．考查时态与主谓一致。句意：两者对孩子的成长都很重要，但许多家庭发现孩子自由玩耍的时间减少了。句子描述的是客观事实，应用一般现在时，且分析句子结构可知，空处作谓语，句子的主语是Both(二者)，是复数，所以谓语动词应用are。故填are。
43．考查固定搭配。句意：对孩子的成长来说，无拘无束的玩耍和户外玩耍一样重要。as＋形容词＋as，是固定搭配，表示“和……一样”。故填as。
44．考查名词。句意：对孩子的成长来说，无拘无束的玩耍和户外玩耍一样重要。根据介词for可知，空处应用名词作宾语，develop为动词，名词为development，意为“发展”，且development为不可数名词。故填development。
45．考查冠词。句意：它带来了社交，精神和身体上的好处，同时也是消磨时间的有趣方式。句中way是名词，表示“方式”，是可数名词，此处表示“一种有趣的方式”，是单数，所以用不定冠词，且fun(有趣的)发音不是以元音音素开头，应用a而非an。故填a。

Dear Mr. Kidd,
I’m writing to extend my sincere gratitude for all the efforts you’ve made in preparing and presenting the online course.
Your course is highly informative and beneficial. It provides easy access to seeing life from a new perspective, thus broadening our minds to the outside world. Your humorous teaching style involves us in a relaxing and pleasant atmosphere, which not only stimulates my interest but also builds my confidence.
If you can have a more flexible time schedule and provide a video playback, I believe we can benefit more. Looking forward to your next course.
Yours,
Li Hua
47．    I rushed outside as Clayton jumped out of his mother’s car. He was smiling and hiding his hands behind his back. He showed his certificate to me and said, “Here, Grandma, did it for you.” It read, “Clayton had a pretty good day.”I took his little hands and turned him around and around as we did our “Happy Feet Dance” moves. A wide smile appeared on his face as he watched me carefully place the certificate in the picture frame. Excited and joyful, in the following days, Clayton continued bringing me his certificates.
But one day, Clayton didn’t stop by. Jill called later, saying Clayton didn’t get his certificate and was in tears. When he picked up the phone, I comforted him, “Honey, I don’t expect an award every day. Besides, I’m running out of frames.”Now, Clayton has grown up. He has achieved many awards. Every time dust the frames presenting Clayton’s kindergarten certificates, my heart dances for joy. I know my grandson is doing better.
本文主要讲述作者的孙子克莱顿因小时候患癫痫而留下一些后遗症。幼儿园的老师答应在克莱顿表现好的时候给他证书作为奖励。刚开始，克莱顿在得到证书的时候很高兴。但后来克莱顿写不好名字，也不愿意使用工具来写，因为他想跟其他孩子一样。之后，幼儿园的老师制作了有眼睛、耳朵和椅子的卡片来提醒他集中注意力。作者也承诺为他的下一张证书做画框。
