    Ember Mug

    It's hard to always keep coffee at the right temperature, especially in winter. It's too hot to drink at first, but before we know it, it gets too cold and loses all its taste. The perfect level of warmth for a cup of coffee only lasts for 37 seconds, which makes the Ember Mug a great invention. It keeps your coffee or tea at a certain temperature, anywhere between 45℃ and 62℃,once you set it through a smartphone app.

    Tasty One Top

    TV cooking shows make cooking look so easy, but it's almost impossible to get the recipes to cook the same as how the professionals cook. However, the Tasty One Top DIY cooking companion is here to help. Developed by BuzzFeed, the cooker can be connected to a smartphone app, which has more than l,700 recipes and videos. You choose a recipe and the app will let the cooker know what to do. For example, it'll tell you when to turn your steak or when to add certain ingredients.

  Jibo

  Smart speakers from companies like Amazon and Xiaomi have added a lot of fun to our lives, but they're still just faceless speakers. However, Jibo, developed by MIT professor Cynthia Breazeal, has brought smart technology to life. Said to be "the world's first social robot for the home", Jibo looks like a cartoon character. Inside its "head", there are various sensors and cameras, which allow it to recognize faces and speech.

Li Jianguo, a 49-year-old teacher at the Tianjin Vocational Institute, is set to be named as one

of the "2022 most beautiful teachers"—an annual public award sponsored by the Publicity Department of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and the Ministry of Education.

Li has stood out by taking the lead in the training of students in vocational skills, gaining a number of honors including being named as a national role model teacher. He has mentored(指导) seven national-level technique experts and a team of 14 technique masters. One of his students, Guo Jinpeng, who graduated from the institute in 2007, became a college teacher at the Chengdu Auto Vocational and Technical School and was named as a national role model teacher in 2019.

Li's nomination as one of the "2022 most beautiful teachers" reflects that China is focusing on the importance of vocational education and aims to foster(培养)  more leading personnel with the spirit of craftsmanship in the manufacturing industry.

At an international vocational and technical education conference in Tianjin last month, Li noted that there is no difference between vocational education and ordinary education, and vocational education is not secondary nor should it ever be treated as less than ordinary education. "Vocational education has the mission of fostering a quality workforce and technical experts for the country. The hardworking spirit is the key to building any ordinary people into leading personnel," he said.

Li joined the institute in 1993 and later founded a machinery engineering practice center, providing free training t0 7,500 people a week. In 2015, he led a team of teachers to work for 40 days to repair 124 machine tools in the center. Li has devoted himself to building the country's first additive manufacturing technique and application center at the institute to satisfy the thirst for the country's human resources in 3D printing.

24．Why does the author mention Guo Jinpeng in paragraph 2?

A．To make a comparison with Li Jianguo.

B．To show the achievements of Li Jianguo.

C．To praise national-level technique experts.

D．To publicize national role model teachers.

25．What is Li's opinion about vocational education?    

A．It is a good way of winning awards.

B．It is not as good as ordinary education.

  C．It should develop qualified and skilled talents.

D．It has nothing to do with hardworking spirit.

26．Which of the following best describes Li's job at the institute?

A．Boring.           B．Well-paid.        C．Difficult.         D．Creative.

27．What is the best title for the text?

A．China Sponsoring Annual Award for Teachers

B．China Aiming to Develop More Leading Personnel

C．Different Education Training Different Kinds of Students

D．A Vocational Teacher to Be Awarded as One of the "Most Beautiful Teachers"

C

One third of adults over 65 in America have never used the Internet, and half don't even have Internet access at home. In San Francisco, "the center of technology", 40% of older adults do not have basic digital literacy skills.

This situation is becoming appalling as over 10,000 Americans turn 65 every single day. By 2050, 22% of Americans will be 65 or older. Meanwhile, technology is developing very fast. This means that a large number of people will be unable to proficiently use emergent technology.

Many people believe that seniors aren't required to participate in our technological future because they'll be retired and relaxed soon. But this is the farthest thing from the truth. Baby boomers are currently experiencing a different boom；With more people getting older than ever before, their life expectancies are also increasing dramatically. With medical advancements, the number of American people projected to live into their 90's has doubled since 1965.

However, they don't have strong financial or educational support. It is not a problem, it's a crisis. More than half of employees over 50 have been laid off in what's being called "forced retirement". And few organizations are actively helping older employees make the transition from full-time jobs to part-time ones. For those fortunate enough to be employed, 3 out of 5 older workers experience prejudice.

The easiest solution is to teach digital literacy. If baby boomers want to survive the forthcoming retirement crisis, they should get enough digital knowledge and skills to operate today's tools and tomorrow's platforms. With every crisis comes an opportunity. Tutoring, customer service, editing, research, book-keeping, and other virtual assistance-based work open the doors. But again, digital knowledge is first required to live in our high-tech society and gig economy. So try to get more online and navigate the growing number of sites and apps.

28．What does the underlined word "appalling" probably mean in paragraph 2?

A．Confusing.        B．Terrible.          C．Controllable.      D．Inspiring.

29．What problem may baby boomers face?

A．A crisis after retirement.               B．Being knocked out in the future.

C．Failing to receive good healthcare.       D．Tending to double their life expectancies.

30．What is the last paragraph mainly about?

    A．The features of high-tech jobs.          B．The way out for baby boomers.

C．Potential industries in the future.         D．The importance of developing technology.

31．What does the author advise baby boomers to do?

A．Have a good sense of crisis.             B．Avoid retiring at an early age.

    C．Look for many part-time jobs.           D．Improve digital literacy actively.

D

The deep-sea oil and gas industry has vast and costly facilities to maintain. Wells, other equipment, and thousands of kilometers of pipelines must be inspected and repaired.

Now, cutting-edge underwater drones(无人机) and robots are being developed. That could make the work safer and cheaper. Among them is Eelume, a six-meter-long, snake-like robot equipped with sensors and a camera at each end. It can be kept at a station at depths of up to half a kilometer for six months, without being brought back to the surface. The robot can travel up to 20 kilometers before needing to return to its station to recharge.

Maintenance work at many deep-water wells and pipeline systems is already carried out by unmanned vehicles. But these vehicles typically need to be transported to the offshore site on a fully crewed ship and then remotely operated by the surface ship. That can cost up to$ 100,000 per day, according to Pal Liljeback, chief technology officer with Eelume Subsea Intervention, which developed the robot. Liljeback says that by "enabling the robot to become a subsea resident living at a station, it can be mobilized at any time to do inspections, thereby reducing the need for costly surface ships".

Eelume can work autonomously on tasks assigned from a control room onshore, and send back videos and data. Its snake-like design allows it to work in small spaces and wriggle(扭动) its body to stay in place in strong currents. By staying under the sea, it can carry out tasks whatever the conditions on the surface of the ocean.

The global underwater robotics market is expected to be worth around $7 billion in2025, according to analysts, and other companies are in the process of commercializing new deep-sea drones and robotic technology, Eelume Subsea Intervention will carry out final testing on the seabed later this year at the Asgard oil and gas field. It expects to put its first snake robots into use next year and hopes to have up to 50 in oceans around the world by 2027.

32．What is one feature of Eelume?

A．It can travel nearly 40 kilometers before recharging.

B．It can dive as deep as 500 meters.

    C．It works mainly around the station,

D．It works for 6 months on one charge.

33．What is the problem with unmanned vehicles?

A．They are too costly to maintain.

B．They are hard to operate remotely.

C．They require transportation to and from work.

D．They have to work on a fully crewed ship all the time.

34．What can be expected of Eelume in the future?

A．It will require no further tests.

    B．It will be worth around $ 7 billion.

C．It will be put on the market in 2027.

D．It will face a lot of competitors.

35．What is the main idea of the text?

A．A snake robot is on its way for underwater tasks.

B．Eelume is the new choice for constructing pipelines,

C．Maintenance work on the ocean floor is a risky job,

D．Unmanned vehicles market has seen strong growth.

The Science of Risk-Seeking

Sometimes we decide that a little unnecessary danger is worth it because when we weigh the risk and the reward, the risk seems worth taking.    36   Some of us enjoy activities that would surprise and scare the rest of us. Why? Experts say it may have to do with how our brains work.

The reason why any of us take any risks at all might have to do with early humans. Risk-takers were better at hunting, fighting, or exploring.    37  As the quality of risk-taking was passed from one generation to the next, humans ended up with a sense of adventure and a tolerance for risk.

    So why aren't we all jumping out of airplanes then? Well, even 200,000 years ago, too much risk-taking could get one killed. A few daring survived, though, along with a few stay-in-the-cave types. As a result, humans developed a range of character types that still exists today. So maybe you love car racing, or maybe you hate it.    38 

    No matter where you are on the risk-seeking range, scientists say that your willingnessto take risks increases during your teenage years.    39   To help you do that, your brain increases your hunger for new experiences. New experiences often mean taking some risks, so your brain raises your tolerance for risk as well.

  40    For the risk-seekers, a part of the brain related to pleasure becomes active,while for the rest of us, a part of the brain related to fear becomes active.

A．It all depends on your character.

    B．Those are the risks you should jump to take.

    C．Being better at those things meant a greater chance of survival.

    D．Thus, these well-equipped people survived because they were the fittest.

    E．This is when you start to move away from your family and into the bigger world.

    F．However, we are not all using the same reference standard to weigh risks and rewards.

    G．New brain research suggests our brains work differently when we face a nervous situation

    Edward walked slowly past the school blacktop where his older brother, Leon, was playing basketball with his friends. Leon didn't notice Edward until he turned to shoot the ball. Leon really loved basketball and was good at it. But Edward was another story.

    Edward would beg to play with them but Leon's friends complained a lot. For some reason, in that last game, Edward's playing was worse than ever. He couldn't do anything right. He was completely unable to keep possession of the ball. He missed even the easy rebounds. His dribbling(控球)was useless, and none of his throws were anywhere near the basket. Leon had to turn his brother away.

    Edward was always a genius at maths. He was so advanced that he already knew how to solve long division problems before he was taught in school. Word problems, even the complicated ones with several steps, were no problem.

    One day, Leon's maths teacher pulled him aside. "You need to do better, a lot better, or you're not going to pass this class. There's a big test coming up."

    Leon's heart sank. When he got home, he talked with Edward about it. The boys agreed that over the next two weeks they intended to spend an hour each day after school working on maths problems and then an hour playing basketball.

    "Here is a good one," Edward said and pointed to a word problem. "Why don't you read it?"

    Leon looked at the book for several seconds. "I'm dizzy already!" he exclaimed.

"Do you know what the first step is?" asked Edward. "The first step is to stay cool and focused," Edward talked Leon through the problem. "Think about what you need to find out. Don't let the problem trick you." Step by step, together they figured it out and got the right answer. Leon soon discovered that Edward was really good at helping him.
