Working robots are typically big, simple and strong. They are large preprogrammed units working in dangerous jobs. But the idea of putting “cobots” which work in harmony with humans into use has become a reality and has changed robotic products worldwide.
Cobots include robots made of tough materials that provide support for the disabled and software-based assistants for home of online services. With their operating software updated from the Internet, these helpers will become an extension of mobile devices.
Most industrial robots are not designed to deal with unpredictable human jobs. However, by reducing robots down to desktop size and planting them with AI, the next generation of cobots will learn from us and cooperate with us better. Lightweight cobots can work in less space and share themselves with people rather than being caged off. Decreasing costs for robotic systems make them more suitable for small businesses, and their easy set-up makes them simple to deploy. Typical industrial uses for cobots include packing and machine tending. More detailed uses include cleaning dirty samples, picking plants, making tea and coffee and so on.
Still, experts thought that introducing robots would lead to job losses. Some people said that 20 million industrial jobs would be lost worldwide by 2030. Actually, it was not the case. What big companies such as Germany’s Mercedes-Benz discovered was that robots alone were not intelligent enough to keep pace with the demand for special products, which still depends on a large number of skilled staff to control and push the whole progress.
“Unplanned changes to production and safer interaction with humans will then require a step change in robot improvements. It has become necessary to use the new generation of cobots in people’s daily life, and cooperation should be considered as an applicable strategy. When we make people and machines cooperate, we can produce many more products on one production line,” said Markus Schaefer, head of production planning.
4．What can we know about cobots from Paragraph 2?
A．They can meet a variety of needs in daily life.
B．They are still at the experimental stage.
C．They are only designed to serve the injured.
D．They can do many boring tasks for people.
5．Which of the following words can best describe the newly designed cobots?
A．Complex but creative.
B．High-cost but useful.
C．Affordable and convenient.
D．Small-sized and energy-saving.
6．What can be inferred from Schaefer’s words in the last paragraph?
A．Cobots attract a large number of buyers.
B．Cobots may cause rising unemployment.
C．Cobots bring both benefits and disadvantages.
D．Cobots promoting human-robot cooperation is a trend.
7．What is the purpose of the text?
A．To stress the influence of cobots.
B．To discuss the development of cobots.
C．To encourage improvements in smart technology.
D．To introduce some methods to improve life quality.

They, stretching along the shore, swim quite lovely, looking for underwater greens to feed on. However, in these days, something is mixing with the sea grass that manatees(海牛)like to eat along Florida’s western coast. And it’s making them sick-even killing them.
It’s a poisonous form of algae, which is usually called “red tide” because of its color. Algae are plant-like organisms that live mainly in water. Most are harmless, but red tide is an exception. When it gets mixed in with the grass and the manatees eat it, they get so sick that they can’t even swim.
“They’re basically paralyzed(瘫痪的), and they become unconscious,” said Virginia Emonds, an animal care manager. Manatees are mammals and they need to surface often to breathe in air. If a manatee is paralyzed, it can’t swim and will drown.
As of Monday, the current red tide outbreak has killed at least 184 manatees since the beginning of this year. That has already beaten Florida’s record-high number for manatee deaths in a single year-and we still have nearly nine months to go!
The experts aren’t sure when the red tide outbreak will end. So many more manatees are in danger. The situation has gotten so desperate that Florida zoos have rescued at least a dozen manatees. You can find manatees anywhere from Brazil up to Florida-and throughout much of the Caribbean Sea.
In fact, the manatee is officially considered an endangered species. Thanks to the US government’s protection, Florida’s manatee population has grown to approximately 5,000 in recent years. But the red tide is threatening their survival. Some experts suspect that pollution from farms even might be fueling the red tide outbreak, because fertilizer that’s used on farms often winds up in water. And when that fertilized water runs off into the Gulf of Mexico, it makes things grow faster-just like on land.
8．The word “them” (in the first paragraph) probably refers to “______”.
A．endangered animals B．manatees
C．algae D．underwater greens
9．We can learn from the passage that the red tide______.
A．has caused damage to most of the underwater greens
B．serves to cultivate farm lands
C．destroy manatees’ ability to surface to breathe
D．give rise to 184 manatees’ deaths every month
10．Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A．The current situation of manatees in Florida.
B．The potential cause of the expansion of the red tide.
C．The fatal effect of the poisonous red tide on manatees
D．The researchers’ efforts to prevent the red tide from spreading.
11．What does the passage mainly talk about?
A．The red tide has been changing the manatees’ habitat.
B．The red tide has been posing a threat to the manatees.
C．The manatee is officially an endangered species.
D．More efforts should be put to save the manatees.

David Brown is known as the world’s fastest completely blind runner. He was diagnosed with Kawasaki disease at 15 months old, which led him to completely lose his sight by age 13.
Brown says he was living in fear for a number of years until he discovered his passion for running. After winning an essay contest, he earned the ticket for the Olympic Games in Beijing in 2008. It was at that time that he knew he wanted to compete himself.
Paralympic runners train and compete alongside sighted guides. At the Rio Games in 2016, Brown and his partner Jerome Avery ran 10. 99 in the men’s 100-meter dash to take home the gold. Brown made his way to running from another sport. He explains that he lost his left eye when he was 3, and lost vision in his right eye over time. He played basketball as a kid, but was increasingly getting injured because he couldn’t see the ball coming. “I took the opportunity to run on the playground, and realized I had some speed there,” he says.
He pursued his passion at the Missouri School for the Blind. Brown started at the school when he was 11, and it was there that he really started running track.
He got to his first Paralympic games by writing about running. Brown was one of the 25 winners of an essay contest that got to attend the event in Beijing. He says he wrote about how he used sports to overcome obstacles, noting that a he grew up he struggled with depression. It’s important to be in sync with your running partner. His new partner Steward says he doesn’t have to slow down when running with Brown, because he’s fast. A 10- or 11-second race doesn’t require much speaking, Steward says. “It’s also an honor,”Brown says. He notes that Paralympic runners can’t do what they do without guides like Steward, who could theoretically run solo but chose not to. He calls it “a great honor”.
12．What made David Brown decide to take part in the competition himself?
A．Winning an essay contest.
B．Winning an Olympic medal.
C．Attending the 2008 Olympics.
D．Attending the Missouri School.
13．What made David Brown change from basketball to running?
A．His change in personal interest.
B．The decline and loss of his vision.
C．The diagnosis with Kawasaki disease.
D．His participation in his first Paralympic games.
14．What can we know about David Brown’s essay?
A．It was depressing.
B．It was interesting.
C．It was pessimistic.
D．It was inspiring.
15．Which proverb best describes David Brown’s story?
A．Fact speaks louder than words.
B．The early bird catches the worm.
C．Where there is a will, there is a way.
D．Hope for the best, prepare for the Worst.

People always say that us lack the eyes of realizing the beauty in life. I can’t agree completely. I woke up very early and decided to take a walk on last Friday. In the square where much senior citizens were dancing, I find several elders absorbed in feeding birds. Without many cars producing smog on the street, I realized that the city was such clean and beautiful. Some coffee shops decorated pretty well, which used to be old but out of style. On all sides of the street were big trees covering the whole city, making it comfortable to walk in the city. At that moment, I found a city was so interesting. How I regret ignore its beauty before!

11．主旨大意题。通读全文，文章讲述的是赤潮危及海牛的性命。故B选项“The red tide has been posing a threat to the manatees.(赤潮对海牛构成了威胁。)”概括文章的主要内容。故选B。
12．C 13．B 14．D 15．C

【导语】这是一篇记叙文，文章主要讲述了世界上跑得最快的全盲运动员David Brown的个人经历以及成就。
12．细节理解题。根据第二段的“After winning an essay contest, he earned the ticket for the Olympic Games in Beijing in 2008. It was at that time that he knew he wanted to compete himself.(在一次作文比赛中获胜后，他获得了2008年北京奥运会的入场券。正是在那个时候，他才知道自己想参加比赛)”可知，出席2008年北京奥运会让David Brown决心去比赛。故选C。
13．细节理解题。根据第三段中“He explains that he lost his left eye when he was 3, and lost vision in his right eye over time. He played basketball as a kid, but was increasingly getting injured because he couldn’t see the ball coming. “I took the opportunity to run on the playground, and realized I had some speed there,” he says.(他解释说，他在3岁时失去了左眼，随着时间的推移，右眼也失去了视力。他小时候打篮球，但因为看不见球飞过来，受伤次数越来越多。他说：‘我抓住机会在操场上跑步，意识到我在那里有一定的速度。’)”可知，视力的逐渐丧失使David Brown决心从打篮球转向跑步。故选B。
14．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“He says he wrote about how he used sports to overcome obstacles, noting that a he grew up he struggled with depression.(他说，他写过自己是如何利用运动来克服障碍的，并指出，在他成长的过程中，他一直在与抑郁症作斗争)”可知，David Brown写的文章教人通过运动来克服困难。由此推知，他的文章应该是令人鼓舞的。故选D。
15．推理判断题。根据文章内容，结合第一段中“He was diagnosed with Kawasaki disease at 15 months old, which led him to completely lose his sight by age 13.(他在15个月大时被诊断出患有川崎病，这导致他在13岁时完全失明)”及第三段中“At the Rio Games in 2016, Brown and his partner Jerome Avery ran 10. 99 in the men’s 100-meter dash to take home the gold.(在2016年的里约热内卢奥运会上，Brown和他的搭档Jerome Avery在男子100米短跑中跑出了10.99的成绩，将金牌带回家)”可知，David Brown在15个月大时被诊断出患有川崎病，导致他在13岁时完全失明，但是凭借对跑步的热情和刻苦训练，他赢得了奥运会的金牌，被认为是世界上跑得最快的全盲运动员。由此推知，“有志者，事竟成”最能描述他的故事。故选C。

17．空处为这部分的小标题。根据下文“Firstly, what sort of organization do you want to help. You might have a particular charity in mind.(首先，你想帮助什么样的组织。你可能会想到一个特别的慈善机构)”可知，要做的第一个决定是选择一个特别的慈善机构或者组织。E项“Choose a charity or organization(选择慈善机构或组织)”可以作为这部分的小标题。故选E。

41．考查名词。句意：每当有庆祝活动或重大活动时，山西省闻喜县的人们都会拿出花馍招待客人，以期待未来的美好成果。可数名词guest作宾语，结合句意，要招待的客人不止一个，用复数名词。故填guests。
42．考查非谓语动词。句意：这些面粉和花朵形状的包子，或称花馍，可以追溯到明清时期，以其优雅的设计和创新的概念而闻名。分析句子可知，know( 熟悉，认识)作状语，是非谓语动词，与其逻辑主语之间是被动关系，应用过去分词表被动；be known for...“因……而出名”。故填known。
43．考查副词。句意：它与当地习俗密切相关，广泛用于节日、婚礼、生日和许多其他场合。提示词修饰动词used，应用副词widely作状语，意为“广泛地”。故填widely。
44．考查时态语态和主谓一致。句意：此外，花馍在过去的十年里已经作为商务礼品进入了高端市场，因为它可以制作成艺术品，可以保质七八年。get(达到)是句中谓语动词，与主语huamo之间是主动关系，结合时间状语in the past decade可知，应用现在完成时态，又因主语是单数名词，所以谓语动词也应使用单数形式。综上，谓语应用现在完成时的主动语态，单数形式。故填has got。
45．考查定语从句。句意：此外，花馍在过去的十年里已经作为商务礼品进入了高端市场，因为它可以制作成艺术品，可以保质七八年。分析句子可知，空格处为限制性定语从句，修饰先行词artwork，指物，关系词代替先行词在定语从句中作主语，应使用关系代词which或者that引导该从句。故填which/that。
46．考查冠词。句意：制作花馍是中国古老的文化传统。可数名词tradition在句中表示“一种传统”，泛指，空格后单词ancient发音以元音音素开头，用不定冠词an修饰。故填an。
47．考查非谓语动词。句意：制作它的方法是代代相传的。名词way后常用不定式作后置定语；way to do...“做……的方法”。故填to make。
48．考查非谓语动词。句意：女性在制作花馍时，专注于艺术创作，让丰富的想象力在艺术世界中自由驰骋，留下了各具特色的花馍佳作。分析句子可知，“(concentrate) on their artistic creation”作后置定语修饰名词women，concentrate是非谓语动词，与其逻辑主语women之间是主动关系，应用现在分词表主动。故填concentrating。
49．考查形容词。句意：闻喜花馍呈现出多种形式，反映了闻喜劳动妇女在漫长的历史进程中形成的在日常生活中的深厚民间艺术知识。提示词作定语修饰名词forms，用形容词various，意为“各种各样的”。故填various。

52．One possible version:
A Meaningful Voluntary Activity
On the morning of last Saturday, our class organized class members for voluntary services at a local community nearby.
Full preparations had been made before carrying out this activity. On arrival, students were divided into groups with different tasks. Some helped to beautify the environment by sweeping the floors, watering the plants and keeping everything in order. Others accompanied elderly people, who shared their life experiences. We also shared with them our interesting school life. At the end of the day, when we were about to leave, the people there expressed their thanks and praised us for what we had done.
This is a rewarding arrangement and we all hope that we can have more opportunities to serve our society.
