(c)hairs 53. (o)rder 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了大城市餐馆众多，部分餐馆靠独特花招吸引顾客，如利用特殊位置（火山、水下、空中等）、提供别样舒适体验（吊床、床替代座椅 ），还有让顾客自己抓鱼等特别经营方式。 【47题详解】 句意：它们常常以相似的价格提供相似的食物，那么它们如何吸引顾客呢？前文提到餐馆众多且菜品价格相似，后面说大多数餐馆努力提供优质食物和服务，希望顾客反复光顾，结合首字母可推测这里是问如何吸引顾客，“attract”“吸引”符合语境，本句为特殊疑问句，助动词do后用动词原形。故填(a)ttract。 【48题详解】 句意：这是一种独特的/不寻常的东西，能让他们的餐馆与其他所有餐馆不同。根据“to make their restaurant different from all the others”和首字母提示可知，能让他们的餐馆与其他所有餐馆不同，应是独特的/不寻常的，这里需要一个形容词表示“独特的；不寻常的” ，“unique”或“unusual”都符合。故填(u)nique/(u)nusual。 【49题详解】 句意：有时这个花招就是餐馆的位置。后文举例说这家餐馆在火山上，水下餐厅、空中餐厅等，都是在讲餐馆的位置，结合首字母提示，“location”“位置；地点”符合语境。故填(l)ocation。 【50题详解】 句意：这是一次奇妙的体验，但别掉落你的刀叉！根据“Here, customers enjoy their meal at a table 50 metres in the air.”和“The people below will be in danger.”可知，是让顾客别把刀叉掉落下去，结合首字母提示，“drop”“掉落”符合语境，助动词don’t后使用动词原形。故填(d)rop。 【51题详解】 句意：他们坐得并不舒适。根据“People often complain about the seats in planes. There isn’t enough space.”可知，这里是说在飞机上坐得不舒服，修饰动词“sit”要用副词，“comfortably”是“comfortable”的副词形式，意为“舒适地”，指他们坐得并不舒适。故填(c)omfortably。 【52题详解】 句意：在斯里兰卡的吊床咖啡馆，没有椅子，而是有吊床。根据“there are hammocks (吊床) instead of”可知，这里是说没有通常餐馆里的椅子，“chair”“椅子”，这里要用复数形式“chairs”表示泛指，故填(c)hairs。 【53题详解】 句意：这是一家鱼餐厅，但顾客不能只从菜单上点他们的鱼——他们得自己去抓。根据“they have to catch it”可知，顾客不是简单从菜单上点菜，“order”有“点菜；订购”的意思，助动词do后使用动词原形。故填(o)rder。 D. Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答问题）（6分） On October 21st, 2024, a robot dog carrying a heavy load (重物) climbed up Mount Taishan while reminding tourists to protect the mountain’s environment, attracting many visitors. Robots are moving from labs and exhibitions to daily life. At Zhejiang University, two robot dogs were used to carry students’ bags, going quickly through crowds and climbing stairs in the autumn of 2023. The robot dogs were named the X30 robots.

They can also work in dim (昏暗的) light, bright light, or complete darkness, with a range (范围) of 10 kilometers. In recent years, the rapid growth of China’s robotics industry (工业；产业) has led to the use of robots across different areas, including education, cleaning services and health care, especially the humanoid robots (人形机器人), which are increasingly used in many industries, such as cars, computers and communications. In the car factories, humanoid robots perform tasks once carried out only by humans. There is also a kind of robot designed like a housekeeper to look after the elderly at all times. Besides helping with medicine and meals, the robot can also make video calls with the old people’s relatives. Future robots are expected to chat well, listen carefully, and share their joy and sadness with people. With the development of science and technology, robot products will be deeply used in the real economy (实体经济) in China by 2027. The robot industry will without doubt have a bright future. 54.

Emily, 22, office worker: I was at work, and I sent an email to a friend of mine. I was telling her about my problems with Mark, the manager. A few minutes later, a friend of Mark’s came over to my desk. He said, “So you think Mark is too strict?” My face was red. I chose the wrong name on my address list. It was my own fault, so I’ll look over my emails more carefully before I click “Send” next time. Thomas, 21, university student: I love the Internet! I look up lots of information online. I often buy things on the websites—furniture, clothes, CDs, even food. I have also sold some of my things on the Internet. I only use the websites I trust and I’ve never had a safety problem. 35.
