Alex Vardkostas spent his child flipping (快速翻转) burgers at his parent’s restaurant in Southern California. It was, he recalls, a repetitive and uninteresting task. Vardkostas said, “Making so many burgers every day, I realized that there must be a better product I can create to make food. ”He helped develop the restaurant’s main attraction: a robot machine that makes “the world’s freshest cheeseburgers”. The machine has already drawn big crowds. People want to see exactly how a robot makes a burger and whether it tastes good. The robot is 14-foot long and takes five minutes to make a delicious burger. After seeing the robot in action, one customer, Evan, was almost speechless. “I knew that they could drive cars,” he said, “but i didn’t know that robots could make a delicious burger.” The robot’s 350 Sensors (传感器) and 20 microcomputers help make sure that every burger is perfect. The materials are organic and locally sourced (寻找……的来源) whenever possible, but the burgers are still affordable (负担得起的). Because a machine makes the burgers, the restaurant doesn’t have to pay kitchen staff (职员). Employees focus on offering e customer good service. Besides, the restaurant offers its employees higher pay than the ordinary standard in the food industry. Staff members are able to read books for five percent of their workday so that they can continue to learn. Money is allotted (分配) for books, and more educational opportunities are being planned. For Evan, the most important thing is still the burger. “The restaurant’s robot is the perfect chef,” he said, “because a person can make mistakes but a robot can’t.” 【1】Why do many customers visit Alex’s restaurant? A.To watch how Alex flip burgers. B.To eat the cheapest cheeseburgers. C.To learn from a robot to make food. D.To experience food made by a robot. 【2】How did Alex like his job of flipping burgers in the past? A.Boring. B.Surprising. C.Puzzling. D.Exciting. 【3】What do we know about burgers made by the robot? A.They are equipped with sensors. B.They aren’t sold at a very high price. C.Each of them owns an ugly shape. D.They become popular with the people around the world. 【4】Which of the following is true about the staff in the restaurant? A.They can improve themselves by reading. B.They need to buy books for customers. C.They can become rich in a short time. D.They have to hand in their learning plan. |

Until recently, several lines of evidence—from fossils, genetics, and archaeology—suggested that humans first moved from Africa into Eurasia (the land of Europe and Asia) about 60,000 years ago, quickly replacing other early human species, such as Neanderthals and Denisovans, that they may have met along the way. However, a series of recent discoveries, including 100,000-year-old human teeth found in a cave in China, have clouded this straightforward statement. And the latest find, a prehistoric jawbone at the Misliya Cave in Israel dating back to nearly 200,000 years ago, which is almost twice as old as any Homo sapiens(智人) remains discovered outside Africa, where our species was thought to have originated from, has added a new and unexpected twist. The find suggests that there were multiple waves of migration across Europe and Asia and could also mean that modern humans in the Middle East were interacting, and possibly mating, with other human species for tens of thousands of years. “Misliya breaks the mould (模式) of existing assumptions of the timing of the first known Homo sapiens in these regions,” said Chris Stringer, head of human origins at the Natural History Museum in London. “It’s important in removing a long-lasting constraint(限制) on our thinking.” Prof. Hershkovitz, who led the work at Tel Aviv University said, “What Misliya tells us is that modern humans left Africa not 100,000 years ago, but 200,000 years ago. This is a revolution in the way we understand the evolution of our own species.” He also added that the record now indicates that humans probably travelled beyond the African continent whenever the climate allowed it. “I don’t believe there was one big departure from Africa,” he said. “I think that throughout hundreds of thousands of years humans were coming in and out of Africa all the time.” The discovery means that modern humans were potentially meeting and interacting during a longer period with other ancient human groups, providing more opportunity for cultural and biological exchanges. It also raises interesting questions about the fate of the earliest modern human pioneers. Genetic data from modern-day populations around the world strongly suggest that everyone outside Africa can trace their ancestors back to a group that left around 60,000 years ago. So the inhabitants of the Misliya Cave are probably not the ancestors of anyone alive today, and scientists can only guess why their branch of the family tree came to an end. 【1】What does the Misliya discovery suggest? A.Our ancestors were powerful and kind of agreesive. B.Our ancestors left Africa much earlier than thought. C.The origins of modern humans are from Europe. D.Homo sapiens, Neanderthals and Denisovans once lived together. 【2】What does the underlined word “they” refer to in Para. One? A.Early human species living in Europe B.Neanderthals and Denisovans. C.People first moving from Africa into Eurasia. D.Ancient people living in Africa all the time. 【3】What can be learned from Prof. Hershkovitz’s words in Para. 4? A.Climate was a big factor in human migration from Africa. B.There was a large-scale human migration from Africa. C.Human migration was occasional in Africa 200,000 years ago. D.The Misliya find is against our understanding of human evolution. 【4】What can we infer about those living in Misliya 200,000 years ago according to the last paragraph? A.They were ancestors of people living in China. B.They left evidence for their mysterious disappearance in history. C.They probably contributed little to present-day people genetically. D.They could be traced by their remains left on their travelling route. |

WASHINGTON—US President Donald Trump on August 6,2020 issued an executive order banning any U.S. transactions with Chinese tech firm ByteDance, owner of popular video-sharing app TikTok, starting in 45 days, a controversial move widely criticized by experts. The app has been downloaded over 175 million times in the United States and over one billion times globally, according to the executive order, which says that the app automatically captures “vast information” from its users, posing risks to U.S. “national security.” A similar executive order has also been issued for WeChat, a messaging and social media app owned by Chinese tech giant Tencent. At a White House briefing earlier this week, Trump told reporters that he is open to a deal in which Microsoft Corp. or another U. S. company buy TikTok, setting Sept 15 as the deadline. During a news briefing while commenting on the issue, Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesman Wang Wenbin said Tuesday that China firmly opposes the U. S. side’s blatant bullying of certain non-U.S. enterprises in violation of market economy rules and the World Trade Organizations principles of openness, transparency and non-discrimination. “It is a blatant act of bullying, to which China firmly opposes. We have noticed that it has also drawn a lot of criticisms and doubts in the united states and from the international community,” Wang added. 【1】Why are the two numbers mentioned in Para. 2? A.To show that the app is very easy to use. B.To show that the app can operate so well. C.To show that the app can be of great value. D.To show that the app is quite popular worldwide. 【2】How did Trump suggest ByteDance deal with TikTok in America? A.To sell it to an American company. B.To donate it to an American company. C.To rewrite the app in case of posing risks. D.To give it up to the American government for free. 【3】What does the underlined word “oppose” in Para. 5 mean? A.Become aware of something or learn of it. B.Accept something although you do not particularly like it. C.Disagree strongly with and try to change it or prevent it from succeeding. D.Consider it carefully or use statistical methods in order to fully understand it. 【4】What can be the best title for the news report? A.US side’s violation of market economy rules in dealing with TikTok B.Chinese tech firm ByteDance-owner of popular video-sharing app TikTok C.Trump issues order banning US transactions with TikTok in 45 days D.Trump’s order says TikTok automatically captures “vast information” from its users |

Social comparison is natural human behavior and there are two types of it: upward social comparison, where we look at people who we feel are better off than we are and downward social comparison, where we look at people who we feel are worse off than we are. These comparisons aren’t always bad for us, but they can sometimes be less helpful than we think. 【1】 Whether social comparison is helpful or harmful is decided by our self-respect, the stressors (压力因素) we already have in our lives, and whether we’re making upward or downward social comparison. For example, when we make downward social comparison and compare ourselves to those who are less well-off, it generally makes us feel better. However, those who are experiencing greater threats or stress in their lives tend to use downward comparison more often. 【2】 In addition, social media has taken social comparison to a whole new level in the last few years. We see who is doing what were not, and we may become stressed wondering if we’re doing enough, earning enough, or enjoying life enough. 【3】 not knowing whether they’re just posting their highlights or they’re really sharing casual events as they happen. If you feel somewhat hooked on (沉迷于) feelings of superiority from downward social comparison or beating yourself up when you make upward social comparison, it’s important to get out of this mental trap. To train your brain to care less about what others are doing or thinking, find role models and learn from them without adding the element of competitiveness to your own life. You can also create a supportive circle: 【4】. Or you can start an exercise group or join a training group. 【5】 if you’re feeling envious of someone else’s success. It also helps to maintain an ongoing gratitude journal so you stay in the frame of mind of counting your blessings rather than what you lack. Additionally, it’s also a good idea to develop a habit of helping others and seeing what small things you can do to do for your friends and strangers. A.This can lift their mood B.Focus on your own failures C.Try to be a modest person D.This can be a group of friends sharing a common goal E.Remind yourself of what you have achieved and are good at F.And sometimes they’re bad for our happiness and stress levels G.We compare our regular lives with other people’s best memories |

Everyone tells you that you must have a clear vision (愿景) of where you want to go and who you want to be. Not everyone tells you exactly how-and how not-to _________ that vision. For example, suppose you want a life in which you are _________ paid and appreciated for your work. You want _________ relationships and the time to pursue them. But you’ve spent years _________ evidence to tell you that it’s simply not _________. So you close your eyes and think about in exact detail what you _________. You then open your eyes and everything is still the _________. Vision isn’t enough. A coach told the story of a woman, who had a serious weight problem. He asked her what she was doing to _________ it. She replied that she sat on her sofa every day for thirty minutes and _________ her losing weight. That, ______________ was a problem. A vision should not be a dream where you put yourself in ______________, waiting for things to happen. So you say, “I’ve tried that. I ______________ all the steps, followed them ______________ but it still didn’t work.” Maybe that was the problem. One of the reasons why we fall into ______________ is that we believe we have walked the path leading to that vision, and yet we’ve ______________ reached that Promised Land. What probably ______________ was this: You made a list of the ______________ steps to get there. You started to follow those steps. At some point, you were ______________, or rejected, or disappointed. You lost your ______________. So don’t make that rigid plan. An inspiring vision opens you up to all the ______________ in your environment you haven’t seen before. 【1】A.bring in B.get to C.send f D.write down 【2】A.well B.still C.also D.always 【3】A.loose B.tense C.broken D.warm 【4】A.taking B.calling C.cutting D.piling 【5】A.special B.popular C.possible D.useful 【6】A.want B.afford C.catch D.improve 【7】A.best B.same C.opposite D.last 【8】A.ignore B.evaluate C.overcome D.create 【9】A.risk B.delayed C.admitted D.imagined 【10】A.of course B.above all C.by accident D.in doubt 【11】A.order B.debt C.danger D.fantasy 【12】A.held up B.gave away C.mapped out D.ran into 【13】A.easily B.carefully C.quietly D.frequently 【14】A.despair B.confidence C.power D.silence 【15】A.only B.even C.rarely D.never 【16】A.happened B.stayed C.grew D.changed 【17】A.strange B.dangerous C.logical D.slow 【18】A.discovered B.prepared C.scolded D.blocked 【19】A.hearing B.dream C.support D.sight 【20】A.pressure B.skills C.possibilities D.service |
