What do you think robots are capable of You might be able to find one that fits your needs at the World Robot Conference(WRC) 2022 in Beijing. Held from Aug 18 to 21, more than 500 robots were on display at the WRC, according to Xinhua. From human-like robots that look surprisingly lively to robots that can make jianbing 24 hours a day, this year’s WRC showed quite a few cutting-edge inventions.
Technology in agriculture
A fruit-picking robot attracted visitors’ attention. With the help of various sensors and an AI system, the robot can collect fruit according to its ripeness, quality and size, according to CCTV. The robot first locates the fruit and then uses sensors to decide whether it is ripe, with a robotic arm picking the fruit gently. The fruit is then categorized, ending up in a basket according to its size. Wu Jiafeng, the exhibitor of the fruit- picking robot, told CCTV that more robotic technology will be used in agriculture in the future, including robots for daily inspection and weeding.
Robots fighting COVID-19
Medical staff conducting nucleic acid tests often find their work toilsome, especially under the summer heat. A nucleic acid test robot developed by Tsinghua University and a Chinese biotech company was presented at the WRC. It looks like a vending machine(自动售卖机), but the robot can collect throat swabs, process samples, as well as produce and upload the results within 45 minutes, according to China Daily. The whole process will not require the involvement of humans or laboratories.
Inventions of the youth
Those visiting the exhibit also witnessed the intelligence of a new generation. Students from BDA School of the High School Affiliated to Renmin University of China had their own exhibition at the WRC. Despite their young age, the students brought fascinating inventions and ideas. For example Wang Jiarun, a junior student at the school, designed a three-dimensional parking facility. Since there are usually too few parking spaces in older residential areas, Wang’s work aims to fit more cars into current parking spots. The facility works like a sky wheel with six parking spots. When cars need to be picked up, the facility rotates steadily, placing the car on the ground.
1. What’s the author’s purpose in writing this article
A. To state the importance of robots.
B. To advertise three kinds of robots.
C. To introduce some front-line inventions of robots.
D. To explore the features of young people’s inventions.
2. What does the article tell us about the nucleic acid test robot
A. It can save manpower.
B. It looks like a lively human.
C. It processes samples with the help of doctors.
D. It can produce and upload the results in half an hour.
3. Why is the parking facility designed like a sky wheel
A. To keep the balance of the facility.
B. To prevent cars from being stolen.
C. To decorate current parking spaces.
D. To make the best of limited spaces.
【答案】1. C 2. A 3. D
【解析】

【1题详解】
推理判断题。由第一段“From human-like robots that look surprisingly lively to robots that can make jianbing 24 hours a day, this year’s WRC showed quite a few cutting-edge inventions. (从栩栩如生令人称奇的仿生人形机器人,到可以24小时摊煎饼的机器人,今年的WRC展示了不少尖端发明)”可知,本文旨在介绍今年WRC展示上出现的一些前沿尖端机器人发明,下文具体介绍了三个具体例子:“Technology in agriculture (科学助农的机器人)”、“Robots fighting COVID-19 (抗击新冠的机器人)”和“Inventions of the youth (青少年的发明)”。故选C项。
【2题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“It looks like a vending machine(自动售卖机), but the robot can collect throat swabs, process samples, as well as produce and upload the results within 45 minutes, according to China Daily. The whole process will not require the involvement of humans or laboratories. (据《中国日报》报道,这款机器人看起来像一台自动售货机,但能在45分钟内收集、处理咽拭子样本,还能检测并上传结果,整个过程无需人工或实验室参与)”可知这款核酸检测机器人无需人工参与,所以节约了人力成本。故选A项。
【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Since there are usually too few parking spaces in older residential areas, Wang’s work aims to fit more cars into current parking spots. (由于老旧小区的停车位通常较少,王梓润的发明旨在将更多的汽车泊入现有的停车位)”可知该停车设施设计成摩天轮形状目的是为了充分利用有限空间,让更多车辆泊入现有的停车位,所以D选项“To make the best of limited spaces (充分利用有限的空间)”符合题意。故选D项。
B
The alligator gar (鳄雀鳝) was a mystery to most people in China, but now it has become famous as a high-risk, invasive fish species.
The fish hit the headlines following the tracking of two alligator gars in a park in Ruzhou, Henan province. Filming of the search, which was live-streamed on Aug 23, attracted about 37 million viewers at its peak. The capture of the fish wasn’t too simple, but they were finally caught on Aug 26.
Gu Dang’en, a scientist associated with a national program on invasive species control, said that the exotic fish was brought into China two to three decades ago for its strange spotted look.
As a predator at the top of its food chain, the alligator gar has already appeared in many places across China. It can eat all the other creatures living in the water, damage local ecosystems and pose risks to humans. A boy in Taizhou Jiangsu, was bitten by an alligator gar on three of his fingers while playing by a community pool on Aug 17. Experts also warn that the alligator gar’s guts and eggs are poisonous.
The Biosecurity Law, which took effect in April 2021, requires that the government must draft a list of invasive species and work out rules for their management. “Authorities have announced a national plan to conduct surveys of 10 invasive species, including the alligator gar, ”said Mu Xidong, a researcher with the Pearl River Fisheries Research Institute at the Chinese Academy of Fishery Sciences.
Ren Dapeng, a professor from China Agricultural University, said that, under the new law, institutions and individuals cannot import, release or abandon exotic species without official approval. If institutions and individuals break the Biosecurity Law, they can face fines of between 10,000 and50,000 yuan. He said that if people no longer want to raise exotic species like the alligator gar, they should send them to the authorities and turn to them for help.
4. Why has the alligator gar become widely known now
A. The alligator gar was a high-risk and invasive fish species.
B. The capture of them didn’t go easily and lasted a long time.
C. The two alligator gars were special and tracked by researchers.
D. Millions of people watched the live capture of them on the Internet.
5. What do the underlined word “exotic” mean in paragraph 3
A. Destructive. B. Foreign. C. Poisonous. D. Attractive.
6. According to Ren Dapeng, what will happen if people let go an alligator gar secretly
A. They will be thrown into prison.
B. They will be sent to the authorities.
C. They will be fined at least 10,000.
D. They will be asked to catch the fish back.
7. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. Protecting Biodiversity B. Stopping Invasive Fish
C. Drafting Biosecurity Law D. Balancing Life & Nature
【答案】4. D 5. B 6. C 7. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是入侵鱼类带来的危害以及如何防止外来鱼类入侵。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Filming of the search, which was live-streamed on Aug 23, attracted about 37 million viewers at its peak. The capture of the fish wasn’t too simple, but they were finally caught on Aug 26.(搜索过程于8月23日进行了直播,高峰时吸引了约3700万观众。捕获这种鱼并不容易,但最终它们还是在8月26日被捕获)”可知,在搜索和捕获这种鱼时进行了直播,高峰时有3700万观众,由此可知,鳄雀鳝变得广为人知是因为数百万人在网上观看了捕获它们的过程。故选D项。
【5题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“Gu Dang’en, a scientist associated with a national program on invasive species control(顾党恩是一名参与国家入侵物种控制项目的科学家)”以及划线单词后的“was brought into China two to three decades ago for its strange spotted look.(二三十年前被引入中国,因为它有奇怪的斑点)”可知,入侵物种控制项目的科学家顾党恩说,这种鱼在二三十年前被引入中国,由此可以推断,该物种应该是从外地引进中国的,所以该单词的意思与“外来的”意义相近。故选B项。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“If institutions and individuals break the Biosecurity Law, they can face fines of between 10,000 and50,000 yuan.(违反《生物安全法》的机构和个人将面临1万元至5万元的罚款)”可知,违反《生物安全法》的机构和个人将面临1-5万的罚款,结合“Ren Dapeng, a professor from China Agricultural University, said that, under the new law, institutions and individuals cannot import, release or abandon exotic species without official approval.(中国农业大学教授任大鹏表示,根据新法律,未经官方批准,机构和个人不得进口、释放或遗弃外来物种)”可知,未经官方批准,机构和个人不得释放或遗弃外来物种,所以,如果人们偷偷放走一只鳄雀鳝,就属于违反了《生物安全法》,将面临至少10000元的罚款。故选C项。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“The alligator gar (鳄雀鳝) was a mystery to most people in China, but now it has become famous as a high-risk, invasive fish species.(鳄雀鳝对大多数中国人来说是一个谜,但现在它已经成为一种著名的高风险入侵鱼类)”可知,通过鳄雀鳝的介绍引出本文的话题,结合下文中对外来入侵物种危害的介绍以及倒数第二段中的“The Biosecurity Law, which took effect in April 2021, requires that the government must draft a list of invasive species and work out rules for their management.(2021年4月生效的《生物安全法》规定,政府必须起草一份入侵物种清单,并制定管理规则)”和最后一段“If institutions and individuals break the Biosecurity Law, they can face fines of between 10,000 and50,000 yuan. He said that if people no longer want to raise exotic species like the alligator gar, they should send them to the authorities and turn to them for help.(违反《生物安全法》的机构和个人将面临1万元至5万元的罚款。他说,如果人们不想再饲养像鳄雀鳝这样的外来鱼类,他们应该把它们寄给当局,并向他们寻求帮助)”可知,由于外来鱼类入侵,政府制定《生物安全法》来防止外来鱼类的入侵,所以文章主要介绍了入侵鱼类带来的危害和如何防止入侵鱼类,所以“防止入侵鱼类”是最合适的标题。故选B项。
C
A RCHAEOLOGISTS have recently made some stunning discoveries at the famed Sanxingdui Ruins site in Sichuan province.
A treasure trove of bronze, gold and jade wares have been uncovered from the site’s six pits. At least 10 of the bronze wares in the trove have never been seen in the history of human civilization.
Researchers described a bronze box with a piece of green jade ware inside of it as the highlight of the 10 relics. The top and bottom of the vessel are covered with turtle shell-shaped lids, each of which resembles a net. And the sides of the box are decorated with dragon head-shaped handles and a few bronze streamers (饰带).
“It would not be an exaggeration to say that the vessel is one of a kind, given its distinctive shape, fine craftsmanship and clever design,” said Professor Li Haichao at Sichuan University. “Although we do not know what this vessel was used for, we can assume that ancient people treasured it.”
Another new find from the past was a bronze altar nearly 0.9 meters tall, upon which researchers believe the people of the Shu civilization made offerings to heaven, earth and their ancestors.
Around these pits, archaeologists also found traces of bamboo, reeds, soybeans, cattle and boars, which suggest that these objects were all offered as sacrifices.
Ran Honglin, an expert of the Sanxingdui cultural relics said that the diversity of the items found at the site indicated cultural exchanges between the various different ancient civilizations of China.
He noted that one of the sculptures with the head of a human and the body of a snake were characteristic of ancient Shu civilization, while ceremonial vessels known as “zun” from the site were culturally symbolic of China’s central plains, known as the Zhongyuan region.
The new finds have mainly been excavated from the No. 7 and No. 8 pits, bringing the total number of items that have been discovered in the six pits to nearly 13000 since 2020.
8. Which of the following vessels is the most impressive
A. A bronze box. B. A jade ware.
C. A bronze streamer. D. A green zun.
9. What may the bronze altar be used for
A. Offering heaven and earth. B. Honoring their ancestors.
C. Putting sacrificial offerings. D. Showcasing Shu civilization.
10. What can we learn from Ran Honglin’s words
A. The ancient Shu civilization was not an isolated one.
B. The ancient Shu civilization refused cultural exchanges.
C. The ancient Shu civilization was quite different from others.
D. The ancient Shu civilization learned a lot from Zhongyuan region.
11. Where is this text probably taken from
A. A guild book. B. A story book.
C. A research report. D. A newspaper.
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. A 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。主要报道的是最近考古学家在三星堆遗址的一些惊人的发现。

细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Researchers described a bronze box with a piece of green jade ware inside of it as the highlight of the 10 relics. (研究人员称,10件文物中最引人注目的是一个青铜盒子,里面装有一块青玉。)”可知,研究人员称,在10件文物中最引人注目的是一个青铜盒子。故选A项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中的“Another new find from the past was a bronze altar nearly 0.9 meters tall, upon which researchers believe the people of the Shu civilization made offerings to heaven, earth and their ancestors. (另一个来自过去的新发现是一个近0.9米高的青铜祭坛,研究人员认为,在这个祭坛上,蜀国文明的人们向天、地和他们的祖先献祭。)”可知,研究人员认为,在这个祭坛上,蜀时期的人们向天、地和祖先献祭,由此可以推测,青铜祭坛用于放置祭品的。故选C项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第三段中“Ran Honglin, an expert of the Sanxingdui cultural relics said that the diversity of the items found at the site indicated cultural exchanges between the various different ancient civilizations of China. (三星堆文物专家冉宏林表示,现场发现的物品的多样性表明了中国不同古代文明之间的文化交流。)”可知,现场发现的物品多样性表明了古代文明之间存在着文化交流,由此可推断,古蜀文明不是孤立的。故选A项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据首段“A RCHAEOLOGISTS have recently made some stunning discoveries at the famed Sanxingdui Ruins site in Sichuan province. (考古学家最近在四川省著名的三星堆遗址有了惊人的发现。)”可知,考古学家在三星堆有了一些惊人的发现,尤其是大写字母的文字排版模式,是引起读者的注意,所以本文应是出自于报纸。故选D项。

China’s first group of e-sport major graduates emerged in the summer of 2021, with data showing that even though this major had been underestimated by the public, the future appeared promising as there were hundreds of thousands of related jobs available.
After the Ministry of Education decided that “electronic sport and management” should be listed in colleges’ major departments in September 2016, around 30 Chinese universities kicked off their e-sports major courses in the same year, to meet the needs of the rise of e-sport related industries in the Chinese market.
“The major is designed to meet the demand,”said Zheng Duo, co-founder of Tianjin Hero Sports Management and a visiting professor from the Communication University of China (CUC).
Chinese passion for e-sport is not in doubt, with more than 18,000 e-sport companies registered as of 2021, according to corporate database Qichacha. The number of e-sport users in China reached 500 million in 2021, and the market had a value of more than 145 billion yuan as of 2020, according to Chinese consulting group iResearch. Meanwhile, the industry chain is becoming more complete.
Jobs in areas such as supervision and content production require talent and training. The number of available jobs is estimated at 500,000, and could reach 3.5 million in the next five years, according to China’s Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security.
Well-known universities such as CUC and the Shanghai Theatre Academy have responded to the country’s call and are preparing graduates for the e-port market. Yet not every major graduate is qualified for the positions available, as the jobs normally require practical experience, which is something a lot of graduates lack.
Industry insiders have indicated that e-sport is an industry with rapid iteration, and some companies prefer to hire people with experience instead of spending time training recruits.
Roughly half of the graduates will enter the gaming industry, said Xiao Pi, an -sport major graduate from CUC. “Some of the rest will pursue further studies for their master’s degree.”
“Even though e-sport majors have advantages in finding jobs, students need practical experience to better suit the different positions,”said Gu Liming, president of Perfect World Games.
12. What do the public think of the e-sport major according to data
A. It attracts many companies.
B. It deserves a promising future.
C. It doesn’t make much difference.
D. It can replace many other majors.
13. Why did universities start to offer e-sport major courses in 2016
A. The Chinese had the potential for e-sport.
B. The Chinese had great passion for e-sport.
C. They wanted to respond to the country’s call.
D. Industries of e-sport were developing quickly.
14. Why are some major graduates disqualified for the positions available
A. They haven’t got a master’s degree.
B. They are short of practical experience.
C. They are unfamiliar with the e-sport market.
D. They have lost out in the fierce competition.
15. What is the passage mainly about
A. E-sport appears to be more of a blessing.
B. E-sport presents a new lifestyle for teenagers.
C. The training for E-sport can’t be overestimated.
D. Changes in sports bring about job opportunities.
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. A
【解析】

【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“China’s first group of e-sport major graduates emerged in the summer of 2021, with data showing that even though this major had been underestimated by the public, the future appeared promising as there were hundreds of thousands of related jobs available. (2021年夏天,中国出现了第一批电子竞技专业的毕业生,数据显示,尽管该专业一直被公众低估,但未来似乎充满希望,因为有数十万个相关工作岗位可供选择)”可知,公众低估电子竞技专业,认为该专业没有什么发展,所以C选项“It doesn’t make much difference. (它不会产生太大影响)”符合题意。故选C。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“After the Ministry of Education decided that “electronic sport and management” should be listed in colleges’ major departments in September 2016, around 30 Chinese universities kicked off their e-sports major courses in the same year, to meet the needs of the rise of e-sport related industries in the Chinese market. (2016年9月,教育部决定将“电子竞技与管理”列入高校专业后,同年,约有30所中国高校开设了电子竞技专业课程,以满足电子竞技相关产业在中国市场崛起的需求)”可知一些高校开始电子竞技专业课程目的是为了满足市场需求,所以D选项“Industries of e-sport were developing quickly. (电子竞技产业发展迅速)”符合题意。故选D。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“Yet not every major graduate is qualified for the positions available, as the jobs normally require practical experience, which is something a lot of graduates lack. (然而,并不是每个专业毕业生都有资格胜任现有的职位,因为这些工作通常需要实践经验,而这正是许多毕业生所缺乏的)”可知,一些毕业生无法胜任现有职位的原因是缺乏实践经验。故选B。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“China’s first group of e-sport major graduates emerged in the summer of 2021, with data showing that even though this major had been underestimated by the public, the future appeared promising as there were hundreds of thousands of related jobs available. (2021年夏天,中国出现了第一批电子竞技专业的毕业生,数据显示,尽管该专业一直被公众低估,但未来似乎充满希望,因为有数十万个相关工作岗位可供选择)”和后文介绍学生在寻找相关工作时,缺乏实践经验可知,电子竞技专业的未来是有前途的,但建议毕业生多去实践,积累经验,所以A选项“E-sport appears to be more of a blessing.(电子竞技似乎更像是一种祝福)”符合题意。故选A。
第二节 七选五阅读理解(满分12.5分 共5题 每题2.5分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
There is no better way for a foreigner to understand China and its people than firsthand experience. ____16____
The experience of traveling around China has paid off handsomely, both in aspects of personal enrichment and in my ability to do my job well as an editor. When news articles mention places in China, I can often visualize(视觉化) them.
There was an article, for example, about the people of Guoliang village, built on the top of a remote cliff(悬崖) in Henan province. ____17____ They used hand tools to dig an amazing tunnel through hard rock to achieve that goal.
I have seen that tunnel and, having done so, acquired a vivid understanding of that incredible task. But what has stuck with me above all other memories of China was an experience at Beijing’s Temple of Heaven.
It was a pleasant summer evening, just at sunset. My wife and I were walking through the gate of the temple park to enjoy the dusky calm. Suddenly, I heard what sounded like distant voices raised in song. ____18____ The sound grew louder as I approached until I finally came to the source—a group of maybe 30 ordinary people gathered in a loose circle, singing joyfully.
____19____ But I could follow the melody(旋律) and harmony, taking advantage of a small amount of vocal training and practice from my distant past. And so I joined in, adding my voice to help send the sound to heaven.
The Chinese people standing nearby offered smiles of welcome. It was a moment of unity. The politicians might call it a people-to-people exchange. For me, the group represented a feeling of love, like a family.
It was over all too soon, and everybody left. ____20____ I couldn’t help but wonder. If whole nations could sing together, wouldn’t the world be a better place
A. I didn’t know the Chinese lyrics(歌词).
B. However, I didn’t want to be rude.
C. I went to investigate out of curiosity.
D. However, the feeling stayed with me.
E. They needed to connect with the outside world.
F. I will always be grateful to be given that opportunity.
G. The travel to Guoliang village always sticks in my mind.
【答案】16. F 17. E 18. C 19. A 20. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者在中国河南郭亮村旅游时的见闻和感想。
【16题详解】
根据上文“There is no better way for a foreigner to understand China and its people than firsthand experience.(对于一个外国人来说,没有比亲身经历更好的方式来了解中国和中国人民了)”以及下一段“The experience of traveling around China has paid off handsomely, both in aspects of personal enrichment and in my ability to do my job well as an editor.(周游中国的经历得到了丰厚的回报,无论是在个人财富方面,还是在我做好编辑工作的能力方面)”推知,作者在第一段提到的了解中国和中国人民的最好方式是亲身经历,下一段提到自己去郭亮村的旅行。由此推知,空处陈述自己有亲身经历的一次机会。F项“I will always be grateful to be given that opportunity.(我将永远感激能有这样的机会)”符合题意。故选F。
【17题详解】
根据下文“They used hand tools to dig an amazing tunnel through hard rock to achieve that goal.(他们用手工工具在坚硬的岩石上挖了一条令人惊叹的隧道来实现这一目标)”中的that goal可知,空处提到了一个目标,结合上文“There was an article, for example, about the people of Guoliang village, built on the top of a remote cliff(悬崖) in Henan province.(例如,有一篇文章是关于建在河南省一个偏远悬崖顶上的郭亮村的人的)”推知,这个目标是与外界联系。E项“They needed to connect with the outside world.(他们需要与外界联系)”符合题意,因为偏远落后,所以不得不通过手工挖隧道的方式与外界联系。故选E。
【18题详解】
根据上文“Suddenly, I heard what sounded like distant voices raised in song.(突然,我听到远处的歌声响起)”和下文“The sound grew louder as I approached until I finally came to the source—a group of maybe 30 ordinary people gathered in a loose circle, singing joyfully.(当我走近时,声音越来越大,直到我终于来到了声音的来源——一群大约30个普通人聚集在一起,围成一个松散的圆圈,欢快地唱歌)”推知,为了弄清楚声音究竟从哪儿来、意味着什么,作者进行了探索。C项“I went to investigate out of curiosity.(我出于好奇去查看)”符合题意。故选C。
【19题详解】
根据下文“But I could follow the melody(旋律) and harmony, taking advantage of a small amount of vocal training and practice from my distant past. (但我可以跟随旋律和和声,利用我过去的少量声乐训练和练习)”中的but可知,空处内容与下文是转折关系,再结合作者来自国外的事实推知,作者不懂中文歌词。A项“I didn’t know the Chinese lyrics(歌词).(我不知道中文歌词)”符合题意。故选A。
【20题详解】
根据上文“It was over all too soon, and everybody left.(一切都结束得太快了,所有人都离开了)”和下文“I couldn’t help but wonder. If whole nations could sing together, wouldn’t the world be a better place (我忍不住想,如果整个国家都能一起唱歌,世界不是会变得更美好吗?)”推知,郭亮村的村民载歌载舞的情形给作者留下了深刻的印象,让作者产生了联想。D项“However, the feeling stayed with me.(然而,那种感觉一直伴随着我)”符合题意,且与上文构成明显的转折关系。故选D。
第三部分 语言运用(共两节 满分30分)

Jennifer, on the other side, stood with a shocked ___29___ on her face. It was an expression somewhere between disgust and horror ____30____ I had just done something morally wrong.

The park bench was deserted as I sat down to read beneath the long, straggly branches of an old willow tree. Frustrated by life with good reason to frown, for the world was intended to drag me down.
And if that weren’t enough to ruin my day, a young boy out of breath approached me, all tired from play. He stood right before me with his head hanging down and said with great excitement, “Look what I found!”
In his hand was a flower, and what a pitiful sight, with its petals (花瓣) all worn — not enough rain, or too little light. Wanting him to take his dead flower and go off to play, I faked a small smile and then turned to the other side.
But instead of leaving, he sat next to my side and placed the flower to his nose and declared, “It really smells pretty and it’s beautiful, too. That’s why I picked it. Here, it’s for you.”
The weed before me was dying or dead. Not vibrant of colors, orange, yellow or red. But I knew I must take it, or he might never leave .So I reached for the flower, and replied, “Just what I need.” But instead of placing the flower in my hand, he held it in mid-air without reason or plan. It was then that I noticed for the first time, that weed-toting boy could not see: he was blind.

【答案】I heard my voice quiver, and my tears shone like the sun. I struggled to hold back my tears but in vain. Gently, I leaned over, held him in my arms and thanked him for picking the very best one. “You’re welcome,” the boy gave me a big smile and said. Then he ran off to play, unaware of the impact he’d had on me. I sat there and wondered how he managed to see a self-pitying woman beneath an old tree.
Perhaps from his heart, he’d been blessed with true sight. Through the eyes of the blind boy, at last I could see, the problem was not with the world; the problem was me. And for all of those times I myself had been blind. At that moment I vowed in my heart to see beauty and appreciate every second that’s mine. Then I held the flower up to my nose and breathed its fragrance and smiled as that young boy. (140 words)

What do you think robots are capable of You might be able to find one that fits your needs at the World Robot Conference(WRC) 2022 in Beijing. Held from Aug 18 to 21, more than 500 robots were on display at the WRC, according to Xinhua. From human-like robots that look surprisingly lively to robots that can make jianbing 24 hours a day, this year’s WRC showed quite a few cutting-edge inventions.
Technology in agriculture
A fruit-picking robot attracted visitors’ attention. With the help of various sensors and an AI system, the robot can collect fruit according to its ripeness, quality and size, according to CCTV. The robot first locates the fruit and then uses sensors to decide whether it is ripe, with a robotic arm picking the fruit gently. The fruit is then categorized, ending up in a basket according to its size. Wu Jiafeng, the exhibitor of the fruit- picking robot, told CCTV that more robotic technology will be used in agriculture in the future, including robots for daily inspection and weeding.
Robots fighting COVID-19
Medical staff conducting nucleic acid tests often find their work toilsome, especially under the summer heat. A nucleic acid test robot developed by Tsinghua University and a Chinese biotech company was presented at the WRC. It looks like a vending machine(自动售卖机), but the robot can collect throat swabs, process samples, as well as produce and upload the results within 45 minutes, according to China Daily. The whole process will not require the involvement of humans or laboratories.
Inventions of the youth
Those visiting the exhibit also witnessed the intelligence of a new generation. Students from BDA School of the High School Affiliated to Renmin University of China had their own exhibition at the WRC. Despite their young age, the students brought fascinating inventions and ideas. For example Wang Jiarun, a junior student at the school, designed a three-dimensional parking facility. Since there are usually too few parking spaces in older residential areas, Wang’s work aims to fit more cars into current parking spots. The facility works like a sky wheel with six parking spots. When cars need to be picked up, the facility rotates steadily, placing the car on the ground.
1. What’s the author’s purpose in writing this article
A. To state the importance of robots.
B. To advertise three kinds of robots.
C. To introduce some front-line inventions of robots.
D. To explore the features of young people’s inventions.
2. What does the article tell us about the nucleic acid test robot
A. It can save manpower.
B. It looks like a lively human.
C. It processes samples with the help of doctors.
D. It can produce and upload the results in half an hour.
3. Why is the parking facility designed like a sky wheel
A. To keep the balance of the facility.
B. To prevent cars from being stolen.
C. To decorate current parking spaces.
D. To make the best of limited spaces.
B
The alligator gar (鳄雀鳝) was a mystery to most people in China, but now it has become famous as a high-risk, invasive fish species.
The fish hit the headlines following the tracking of two alligator gars in a park in Ruzhou, Henan province. Filming of the search, which was live-streamed on Aug 23, attracted about 37 million viewers at its peak. The capture of the fish wasn’t too simple, but they were finally caught on Aug 26.
Gu Dang’en, a scientist associated with a national program on invasive species control, said that the exotic fish was brought into China two to three decades ago for its strange spotted look.
As a predator at the top of its food chain, the alligator gar has already appeared in many places across China. It can eat all the other creatures living in the water, damage local ecosystems and pose risks to humans. A boy in Taizhou Jiangsu, was bitten by an alligator gar on three of his fingers while playing by a community pool on Aug 17. Experts also warn that the alligator gar’s guts and eggs are poisonous.
The Biosecurity Law, which took effect in April 2021, requires that the government must draft a list of invasive species and work out rules for their management. “Authorities have announced a national plan to conduct surveys of 10 invasive species, including the alligator gar, ”said Mu Xidong, a researcher with the Pearl River Fisheries Research Institute at the Chinese Academy of Fishery Sciences.
Ren Dapeng a professor from China Agricultural University, said that, under the new law, institutions and individuals cannot import, release or abandon exotic species without official approval. If institutions and individuals break the Biosecurity Law, they can face fines of between 10,000 and50,000 yuan.

A RCHAEOLOGISTS have recently made some stunning discoveries at the famed Sanxingdui Ruins site in Sichuan province.
A treasure trove of bronze, gold and jade wares have been uncovered from the site’s six pits. At least 10 of the bronze wares in the trove have never been seen in the history of human civilization.
Researchers described a bronze box with a piece of green jade ware inside of it as the highlight of the 10 relics. The top and bottom of the vessel are covered with turtle shell-shaped lids, each of which resembles a net. And the sides of the box are decorated with dragon head-shaped handles and a few bronze streamers (饰带).
“It would not be an exaggeration to say that the vessel is one of a kind, given its distinctive shape, fine craftsmanship and clever design,” said Professor Li Haichao at Sichuan University. “Although we do not know what this vessel was used for, we can assume that ancient people treasured it.”
Another new find from the past was a bronze altar nearly 0.9 meters tall upon which researchers believe the people of the Shu civilization made offerings to heaven, earth and their ancestors.
Around these pits, archaeologists also found traces of bamboo, reeds, soybeans, cattle and boars, which suggest that these objects were all offered as sacrifices.
Ran Honglin, an expert of the Sanxingdui cultural relics said that the diversity of the items found at the site indicated cultural exchanges between the various different ancient civilizations of China.
He noted that one of the sculptures with the head of a human and the body of a snake were characteristic of ancient Shu civilization, while ceremonial vessels known as “zun” from the site were culturally symbolic of China’s central plains, known as the Zhongyuan region.
The new finds have mainly been excavated from the No. 7 and No. 8 pits, bringing the total number of items that have been discovered in the six pits to nearly 13000 since 2020.
8. Which of the following vessels is the most impressive
A. A bronze box. B. A jade ware.
C. A bronze streamer. D. A green zun.
9. What may the bronze altar be used for
A. Offering heaven and earth. B. Honoring their ancestors.
C. Putting sacrificial offerings. D. Showcasing Shu civilization.
10. What can we learn from Ran Honglin’s words
A. The ancient Shu civilization was not an isolated one.
B. The ancient Shu civilization refused cultural exchanges.
C. The ancient Shu civilization was quite different from others.
D. The ancient Shu civilization learned a lot from Zhongyuan region.
11. Where is this text probably taken from
A. A guild book. B. A story book.
C. A research report. D. A newspaper.

China’s first group of e-sport major graduates emerged in the summer of 2021, with data showing that even though this major had been underestimated by the public, the future appeared promising as there were hundreds of thousands of related jobs available.
After the Ministry of Education decided that “electronic sport and management” should be listed in colleges’ major departments in September 2016, around 30 Chinese universities kicked off their e-sports major courses in the same year, to meet the needs of the rise of e-sport related industries in the Chinese market.
“The major is designed to meet the demand,”said Zheng Duo, co-founder of Tianjin Hero Sports Management and a visiting professor from the Communication University of China (CUC).
Chinese passion for e-sport is not in doubt, with more than 18,000 e-sport companies registered as of 2021, according to corporate database Qichacha. The number of e-sport users in China reached 500 million in 2021, and the market had a value of more than 145 billion yuan as of 2020, according to Chinese consulting group iResearch. Meanwhile, the industry chain is becoming more complete.
Jobs in areas such as supervision and content production require talent and training. The number of available jobs is estimated at 500000, and could reach 3.5 million in the next five years, according to China’s Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security.
Well-known universities such as CUC and the Shanghai Theatre Academy have responded to the country’s call and are preparing graduates for the e-port market. Yet not every major graduate is qualified for the positions available, as the jobs normally require practical experience, which is something a lot of graduates lack.
Industry insiders have indicated that e-sport is an industry with rapid iteration, and some companies prefer to hire people with experience instead of spending time training recruits.
Roughly half of the graduates will enter the gaming industry, said Xiao Pi, an -sport major graduate from CUC. “Some of the rest will pursue further studies for their master’s degree.”
“Even though e-sport majors have advantages in finding jobs, students need practical experience to better suit the different positions,”said Gu Liming, president of Perfect World Games.
12. What do the public think of the e-sport major according to data
A. It attracts many companies.
B. It deserves a promising future.
C. It doesn’t make much difference.
D. It can replace many other majors.
13. Why did universities start to offer e-sport major courses in 2016
A. The Chinese had the potential for e-sport.
B. The Chinese had great passion for e-sport.
C. They wanted to respond to the country’s call.
D. Industries of e-sport were developing quickly.
14. Why are some major graduates disqualified for the positions available
A. They haven’t got a master’s degree.
B. They are short of practical experience.
C. They are unfamiliar with the e-sport market.
D. They have lost out in the fierce competition.
15. What is the passage mainly about
A. E-sport appears to be more of a blessing.
B. E-sport presents a new lifestyle for teenagers.
C. The training for E-sport can’t be overestimated.
D. Changes in sports bring about job opportunities.

根据短文内容,从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
There is no better way for a foreigner to understand China and its people than firsthand experience. ____16____
The experience of traveling around China has paid off handsomely, both in aspects of personal enrichment and in my ability to do my job well as an editor. When news articles mention places in China, I can often visualize(视觉化) them.
There was an article, for example, about the people of Guoliang village, built on the top of a remote cliff(悬崖) in Henan province. ____17____ They used hand tools to dig an amazing tunnel through hard rock to achieve that goal.
I have seen that tunnel and, having done so, acquired a vivid understanding of that incredible task. But what has stuck with me above all other memories of China was an experience at Beijing’s Temple of Heaven.
It was a pleasant summer evening, just at sunset. My wife and I were walking through the gate of the temple park to enjoy the dusky calm. Suddenly, I heard what sounded like distant voices raised in song. ____18____ The sound grew louder as I approached until I finally came to the source—a group of maybe 30 ordinary people gathered in a loose circle, singing joyfully.
____19____ But I could follow the melody(旋律) and harmony, taking advantage of a small amount of vocal training and practice from my distant past. And so I joined in, adding my voice to help send the sound to heaven.
The Chinese people standing nearby offered smiles of welcome. It was a moment of unity. The politicians might call it a people-to-people exchange. For me, the group represented a feeling of love, like a family.
It was over all too soon, and everybody left. ____20____ I couldn’t help but wonder. If whole nations could sing together, wouldn’t the world be a better place
A. I didn’t know the Chinese lyrics(歌词).
B. However, I didn’t want to be rude.
C. I went to investigate out of curiosity.
D. However, the feeling stayed with me.

The park bench was deserted as I sat down to read beneath the long, straggly branches of an old willow tree. Frustrated by life with good reason to frown, for the world was intended to drag me down.
And if that weren’t enough to ruin my day, a young boy out of breath approached me, all tired from play. He stood right before me with his head hanging down and said with great excitement, “Look what I found!”
In his hand was a flower, and what a pitiful sight, with its petals (花瓣) all worn — not enough rain, or too little light. Wanting him to take his dead flower and go off to play, I faked a small smile and then turned to the other side.
But instead of leaving, he sat next to my side and placed the flower to his nose and declared, “It really smells pretty and it’s beautiful, too. That’s why I picked it. Here, it’s for you.”
The weed before me was dying or dead. Not vibrant of colors, orange, yellow or red. But I knew I must take it, or he might never leave .So I reached for the flower, and replied, “Just what I need.” But instead of placing the flower in my hand, he held it in mid-air without reason or plan. It was then that I noticed for the first time, that weed-toting boy could not see: he was blind.
