You may already see robots (机器人) in some restaurants. They are about the size of a child. They can welcome people and guide them to their tables. They serve food and drinks and bring dirty dishes back to the kitchen. Some have cat-like faces and even make noises when you touch their heads. But are robot waiters the future (将来)?
Robot waiters are useful. They can do the jobs as humans do. In the US, there were 15 million people working in the restaurants at the end of last year according to the National Restaurant Association. But many of the restaurant owners said they didn’t have enough workers. Robot waiters can also help save money.

①Time flies when you play on your smartphone. But when you get down to work and study in real life, one hour feels like a year. Why are we so interested in smartphones but easily bored of studying?
②It all boils down to something small and hard to see: dopamine (多巴胺). Dopamine is a “pleasure chemical” that makes people feel good. Our brains (大脑) give it out when we eat delicious food, after we exercise or when we get a prize.
③Playing on smartphones makes our brains give out more dopamine. For example, checking your phone for a text makes dopamine grow by 400%. But why?
④When we visit social media (社交媒体), we don’t know what we’ll see next, or who will give ideas about things we post. This “magic of maybe” makes the dopamine system active. We get excited when thinking if we have messages from our friends. When we get their messages, our brains give out dopamine.
⑤And to get more dopamine, we go on using our phones. With this excitement, we won’t get bored easily. But studying doesn’t have such magic.
⑥What can we do to change that? According to scientists, apps can become less interesting if we don’t get any notifications (通知) or change the screen colors to black and white. We can also set time limits (限制) on apps to stop us from using them for too long.
⑦“As for studying, you could check your progress (进步) daily or weekly and give yourself a prize,” said Daniel Wong, the writer of The Happy Student, “You could also use what you learn from the textbook in the real world. This will make study much more interesting”.
56. According to the writer, what are students like when they study?
A They get very interested. B. They get more dopamine. C. They feel very happy. D. They feel that time goes slowly.
57. What do the underlined words mean in Chinese?
A. 下降 B. 归结为 C. 利用 D. 流入
58. What can we infer (推断) from this passage?
A. We are interested in smartphones but are easily bored of studying.
B. Our brains give out dopamine before we exercise or get a prize.
C. When we get many “Likes (点赞)” on WeChat, our brain gives out dopamine.
D. Scientists say that dopamine is the only thing that can make people happy.
59. What’s the structure (结构) of this passage?
A.
B.
C.
D.
【答案】56. D 57. B 58. C 59. A
【解析】
【导语】本文围绕人们为何对智能手机感兴趣却容易对学习感到厌烦这一现象展开。
【56题详解】
细节理解题。根据“But when you get down to work and study in real life, one hour feels like a year.”可知,当学生真正学习时,一小时感觉像一年,即他们感觉时间过得很慢。故选D。
【57题详解】
词句猜测题。根据“It all boils down to something small and hard to see: dopamine (多巴胺).”可知,这都可以归结为一种微小且难以看到的东西:多巴胺,所以“boils down to”的意思是“归结为”。故选B。
【58题详解】
推理判断题。根据“We get excited when thinking if we have messages from our friends. When we get their messages, our brains give out dopamine.”可知,当我们想着是否收到了朋友的消息时,就会感到兴奋。当我们收到他们的消息时,我们的大脑就会分泌多巴胺。因此当我们在微信上得到很多“点赞”时,我们的大脑会分泌多巴胺。故选C。
【59题详解】
篇章结构题。根据“Why are we so interested in smartphones but easily bored of studying?”可知,文章是通过引出“为什么我们对智能手机如此着迷,却很容易对学习感到厌倦呢?”这个问题来展开全文,排除BC;第一段和第二段介绍了问题以及问题的原因;第三段讲述了查看手机短信会使多巴胺增加400%,并引出下文原因;第四段和第五段解释了第三段的问题;第六段和第七段提供了解决方案。所以文章结构如A选项所示。故选A。

Many students don’t like joining school plays. Some think they are too shy on the stage (舞台). Some say they are too busy. Others think that it is very boring. When I heard the English club would have an English play, Snow White, I decided to join it. The main reason was that I really wanted to be on stage.
There were many characters in the play. Of course, the girls wanted to play the Princess (公主). Li Fan played the King (国王). Wang Ping and six other boys in the club played the seven dwarves (矮人). I thought I might get the role of the Princess. But He Yan got it. Miss Wang asked me to act the role of the Queen (女王). I wasn’t very happy about this. But Miss Wang said, “The most important thing is the acting.”
From then on, I tried to play the Queen. It was difficult for me to do it because I had no experience (经验) in acting. After two months’ hard practice, ________________________________________.

The 17-year-old diver Quan Hongchan, China’s youngest athlete (运动员) in 2024 Paris Olympics, won the gold medal (金牌) in the women’s 10-meter platform final. She hardly ever made a ripple (水花) in the water during her final’s performance and won.

During her interview (采访) after the competition, Quan said her parents had previously (先前) told her not to be nervous, and that it doesn’t matter whether she gets a medal or not and to just be herself. “Those words really helped me,” Quan added, saying she planned to eat latiao, a popular Chinese street snack, to celebrate the success.

You may already see robots (机器人) in some restaurants. They are about the size of a child. They can welcome people and guide them to their tables. They serve food and drinks and bring dirty dishes back to the kitchen. Some have cat-like faces and even make noises when you touch their heads. But are robot waiters the future (将来)?
Robot waiters are useful. They can do the jobs as humans do. In the US, there were 15 million people working in the restaurants at the end of last year according to the National Restaurant Association. But many of the restaurant owners said they didn’t have enough workers. Robot waiters can also help save money. A restaurant owner said a robot costs around ¥15,000, but a person costs ¥5,000 to ¥6,000 per month. And the cost of human workers will continue (继续) to rise, but technology (科技) costs will fall.
The robots are increasing quickly. Sales of robots have been growing in these years. For example, a company called Pudu Robotics in Shenzhen, China, has sold more than 56,000 robots around the world. There are tens of thousands of robots now moving through eating places around the world. For example, Pizza Hut has robot waiters in 1,000 restaurants in China.
Some people think robot waiters are the future and they are well accepted (接受) by people. Some think robot waiters still have a long way to go before they can take the place (代替) of humans. They cannot take orders. And they cannot walk up steps to different areas of a restaurant. The others think the robot can never take the place of humans. People go to the restaurant to have the experience of being served by a human but not a robot.

①Time flies when you play on your smartphone. But when you get down to work and study in real life, one hour feels like a year. Why are we so interested in smartphones but easily bored of studying?
②It all boils down to something small and hard to see: dopamine (多巴胺). Dopamine is a “pleasure chemical” that makes people feel good. Our brains (大脑) give it out when we eat delicious food, after we exercise or when we get a prize.
③Playing on smartphones makes our brains give out more dopamine. For example, checking your phone for a text makes dopamine grow by 400%. But why?
④When we visit social media (社交媒体), we don’t know what we’ll see next, or who will give ideas about things we post. This “magic of maybe” makes the dopamine system active. We get excited when thinking if we have messages from our friends. When we get their messages, our brains give out dopamine.
⑤And to get more dopamine, we go on using our phones. With this excitement, we won’t get bored easily. But studying doesn’t have such magic.
⑥What can we do to change that? According to scientists, apps can become less interesting if we don’t get any notifications (通知) or change the screen colors to black and white. We can also set time limits (限制) on apps to stop us from using them for too long.
⑦“As for studying, you could check your progress (进步) daily or weekly and give yourself a prize,” said Daniel Wong, the writer of The Happy Student, “You could also use what you learn from the textbook in the real world. This will make study much more interesting”.
56. According to the writer, what are students like when they study?
A. They get very interested. B. They get more dopamine. C. They feel very happy. D. They feel that time goes slowly.
57. What do the underlined words mean in Chinese?
A. 下降 B. 归结 C. 利用 D. 流入
58. What can we infer (推断) from this passage?
A. We are interested in smartphones but are easily bored of studying.
B. Our brains give out dopamine before we exercise or get a prize.
C. When we get many “Likes (点赞)” on WeChat, our brain gives out dopamine.
D. Scientists say that dopamine is the only thing that can make people happy.
59. What’s the structure (结构) of this passage?
A.
B.
C.

Many students don’t like joining school plays. Some think they are too shy on the stage (舞台). Some say they are too busy. Others think that it is very boring.
