Usually, we think of workers picking tea leaves by hand. But now, some Longjing tea is being picked by metal workers—tea-picking robots!
In a Hangzhou tea garden, a smart tea-picking robot developed by Zhejiang Sci-Tech University set to work for the first time. “We took thousands of pictures of new tea buds (芽) and fed them to the robot for it to learn. The robot uses an AI model to remember the buds it needs to pick,” said Professor Chen Jianneng. This lets the robot find the right tea buds about 90 percent of the time.
The robot’s arm pulls and then sucks (吸) up the tea buds. These buds are quickly moved into a special box. After the robot gathers all the buds from the area it’s working at, it moves the buds from the box to a main box that holds everything it collects.
The robot was made because there are not enough people to pick tea. In Zhejiang, about 400,000 more pickers are needed now. “Picking is the biggest challenge for the development of the tea industry,” said Professor Wu Chuanyu, who leads the research team.
“Although tea-picking robots are not perfect, for example, they can’t tell the difference because some tea buds look very similar, they are a trend (趋势) of the future. About five years from now, the robots will do the job of picking West Lake Longjing tea instead of people,” Wu added.
26.Where did the smart tea-picking robot first start working?
A.In a Zhejiang factory. B.In a Hangzhou tea garden.
C.In a university in Zhejiang. D.In a West Lake tea-processing center.
27.How does the tea-picking robot know which tea buds to pick?
A.By tasting the tea buds.
B.By using its sense of smell.
C.By following the instructions of workers.
D.By an AI model after learning from thousands of pictures.
28.What is the correct order of the steps for the tea-picking robot to pick tea?
a. The buds are moved into a special box.
b. The arm pulls and sucks up the tea buds.
c. The buds are moved from the box to a main box.
d. All the buds are gathered from the working area.
A.b-a-d-c B.b-d-c-a C.c-b-d-a D.d-c-b-a
29.Why was the tea-picking robot made?
A.Because it can pick tea much faster than humans.
B.Because it can pick more tea buds accurately.
C.Because there is a shortage (短缺) of tea-pickers.
D.Because it is a symbol of high-tech development.
30.What can we infer from Professor Wu Chuanyu’s words?
A.Tea-picking robots are already perfect.
B.Tea-picking robots will replace human pickers in about five years.
C.Tea-picking robots can clearly tell the difference between all tea buds.
D.The development of the tea industry has no difficulty now.
C
Look at this robot in the picture. What do you think it is for?
Scientists in China have developed the special robot to help visually impaired people (视障人士). It has six legs and can act as a “guide dog” for people who can’t see.
In China, there are over 17 million visually impaired people, but there are only about 400 real guide dogs to help them. It is very hard and expensive to train guide dogs, so most visually impaired people don’t have one.
The new robot can help solve the problem. It can do many things. For example, it can know what the person is saying and act quickly; it can avoid obstacles (障碍物) and find the right way to go. What’s more, the robot can be used as a helper in the home and call for help if needed.
To make the robot work well, the scientists gave it many senses (感觉). It can see, hear, speak and feel. In this way, the robot can know what the person wants to do and work together with him. The robot’s six legs also make it more stable (稳定的) than other robot with just four legs.
Li Fei, a visually impaired woman, tried out the robot during a test. She said that when guided her, she could walk straighter than she did on her own. The developers have already got orders for 20 of the robots. Soon they could help many visually impaired people in China.
31.How many legs does the robot have?
A.3. B.4. C.5. D.6.
32.Why don’t some visually impaired people buy real guide dogs?
A.Because there aren’t guide dogs in China. B.Because guide dogs are too expensive.
C.Because training guide dogs is too boring. D.Because visually impaired people don’t work.
33.What can we know about the robot?
A.It can cook for visually impaired people. B.It can’t avoid obstacles in time.
C.It can’t talk with visually impaired people. D.It can understand what the person is saying.
34.What does the underlined word “developers” mean in Paragraph 6?
A.Inventors. B.Speakers. C.Pioneers. D.Postmen.
35.What is the best title for the text?
A.A Club to Help Disabled People B.A Robot for Visually Impaired People
C.An Idea to Improve Your Life D.A Problem to Be Solved Easily
D

But the company didn’t do well. In 1900, they split up (分开).
Charles tried to rebuild his car company. He had little success. 40 It was taken over by Peoria Rubber Company. Charles then produced a few more cars of his design. He moved several more times after that but never achieved success. He died in 1938.

Usually, we think of workers picking tea leaves by hand. But now, some Longjing tea is being picked by metal workers—tea-picking robots!
In a Hangzhou tea garden, a smart tea-picking robot developed by Zhejiang Sci-Tech University set to work for the first time. “We took thousands of pictures of new tea buds (芽) and fed them to the robot for it to learn. The robot uses an AI model to remember the buds it needs to pick,” said Professor Chen Jianneng. This lets the robot find the right tea buds about 90 percent of the time.
The robot’s arm pulls and then sucks (吸) up the tea buds. These buds are quickly moved into a special box. After the robot gathers all the buds from the area it’s working at, it moves the buds from the box to a main box that holds everything it collects.
The robot was made because there are not enough people to pick tea. In Zhejiang, about 400,000 more pickers are needed now. “Picking is the biggest challenge for the development of the tea industry,” said Professor Wu Chuanyu, who leads the research team.
“Although tea-picking robots are not perfect, for example, they can’t tell the difference because some tea buds look very similar, they are a trend (趋势) of the future. About five years from now, the robots will do the job of picking West Lake Longjing tea instead of people,” Wu added.
26.Where did the smart tea-picking robot first start working?
A.In a Zhejiang factory. B.In a Hangzhou tea garden.
C.In a university in Zhejiang. D.In a West Lake tea-processing center.
27.How does the tea-picking robot know which tea buds to pick?
A.By tasting the tea buds.
B.By using its sense of smell.
C.By following the instructions of workers.
D.By an AI model after learning from thousands of pictures.
28.What is the correct order of the steps for the tea-picking robot to pick tea?
a. The buds are moved into a special box.
b. The arm pulls and sucks up the tea buds.
c. The buds are moved from the box to a main box.
d. All the buds are gathered from the working area.
A.b-a-d-c B.b-d-c-a C.c-b-d-a D.d-c-b-a
29.Why was the tea-picking robot made?
A.Because it can pick tea much faster than humans.
B.Because it can pick more tea buds accurately.
C.Because there is a shortage (短缺) of tea-pickers.
D.Because it is a symbol of high-tech development.
30.What can we infer from Professor Wu Chuanyu’s words?
A.Tea-picking robots are already perfect.
B.Tea-picking robots will replace human pickers in about five years.
C.Tea-picking robots can clearly tell the difference between all tea buds.
D.The development of the tea industry has no difficulty now.

Look at this robot in the picture. What do you think it is for?
Scientists in China have developed the special robot to help visually impaired people (视障人士). It has six legs and can act as a “guide dog” for people who can’t see.
In China, there are over 17 million visually impaired people, but there are only about 400 real guide dogs to help them. It is very hard and expensive to train guide dogs, so most visually impaired people don’t have one.
The new robot can help solve the problem. It can do many things. For example, it can know what the person is saying and act quickly; it can avoid obstacles (障碍物) and find the right way to go. What’s more, the robot can be used as a helper in the home and call for help if needed.
To make the robot work well, the scientists gave it many senses (感觉). It can see, hear, speak and feel. In this way, the robot can know what the person wants to do and work together with him. The robot’s six legs also make it more stable (稳定的) than other robot with just four legs.
Li Fei, a visually impaired woman, tried out the robot during a test. She said that when guided her, she could walk straighter than she did on her own. The developers have already got orders for 20 of the robots. Soon they could help many visually impaired people in China.

70.句意:这位科学家还警告说,如果我们幸运的话,他们可能会像我们现在对待宠物一样对待我们;如果我们不幸运,谁知道会发生什么?分析句子结构可知,此处应用that引导宾语从句,that引导宾语从句时,通常没有词义,只起连接作用。故填that。

【答案】例文
Technology is becoming more and more important in our lives. I would like to introduce to you the bike-sharing app—one of the life-changing apps.
Thanks to this app, going around the city by riding bikes becomes highly convenient. With the great number of shared bikes that are out there in the city, users of the app can enjoy riding without having to own a bike. All we need is a smartphone with network access. We just scan the QR code and hit the road! Besides, it doesn’t cost much to use the app. The app itself is free, and a tour on a shared bike probably won’t cost you more than 2 dollars. This encourages people to ride bikes for exercise, and to play their part in protecting the environment by living a green life. So you see, the bike-sharing app has indeed brought changes to our life, and I hope to see more apps like this in the future.
