Ⅰ.阅读理解 A (2020·浙江嘉兴一中月考)In the future, when robots can be used both in homes and in other areas, they could improve the living standards of people. Many people consume their energy by doing their daytoday tasks like cooking，cleaning after work, etc. When robots can complete such jobs, people can spend more time with their families and friends.Experts say that many major problems in the modern world are caused by miscommunication. When people have more time, they can talk freely to solve such issues and eventually create a happy society. Robots can be used for certain jobs to avoid accidents caused by careless behavior of some people. When robots are used for such work, it does not risk any human life at the workplace. Human resources can be efficiently used by performing tasks which demand human skills like critical thinking and problem solving. Robots can be used for jobs like moving and lifting heavy things. While some people talk about how robots can be useful to humans, others voice their concerns. When robots become cheaper to produce, employers may prefer to use more robots than humans. As the technology constantly improves the abilities of robots, it could weaken the value of humans. Many people may rely on robots heavily. Some may even develop the habit of using robots for tasks that they can easily do. This could create a lazy society. As an ageing society, Japan sees it as a must to build robots that can take care of elderly people at their homes, because without them, the nation's health care system can't cope. There will simply be too many elderly people to care for as the nation faces a decreasing birth rate, an ageing population, and the loosening of family ties. However, many of Japan's elderly people would prefer human helpers rather than robots. Above all, Japan needs to make its dream of domestic robots come true because its immigration policy is anti­immigration.

The robot takes and shapes dough to create the base of the pizza. It then adds tomato sauce, cheese, meat or other toppings. Next, the robot places the uncooked pizza into a hot oven. A few minutes later, the pizza is ready. The pizza comes out the same each time. Zume says the robots work quickly and do not get sick. They do not get paid either. Julia Collins is the company's cofounder and chief executive officer (CEO). Her business can spend more money on better food products because it does not have to pay the robots. Zume is using robots to make pizza. Charity Suzuki has bought the robotmade pizza.She likes its taste. “It's delicious. It's always hot and fresh when it comes. I mean it's great that they're making it, but I can't tell the difference that it's made by a robot versus a human.” Other companies say they are developing robots so people can get higher quality food faster. But what about the jobs the robots are taking from humans? Ken Goldberg is a professor at the University of California in Berkeley. He also directs the school's automation laboratory. Goldberg says researchers have been working with robots for 50 years. He says that, while there has been progress, the jobs are not going to disappear right away. “I want to reassure(使放心)restaurant workers that the skills that they have are still going to be of value, ”Goldberg says. “We're going to get rid of boring, repetitive, dangerous jobs and we're going to free up people to do things that have higher value.

Here are some tips to help you develop creative and critical thinking abilities. Step outside your comfort zone. Stepping outside your comfort zone is an easy way to expand your creative and critical thinking skills.This means reading a book or an article that is completely unrelated to any previous studies，or even having a difficult conversation with someone you're close to. 　 1 　 We all grow from discomfort. Stay healthy. Your mind is in the best shape when your body is. Coupling exercise with a healthy diet can clear the mind and allow for creativity. 　 2 　 Some people are easily distracted by a messy office or a dark room. Most people are the most awake when they are in clean, healthy, and organised environments. 3 　 This is a common technique used by journalists and writers suffering from writer's block. It's an easy tool to get the creative juices flowing. Open up a laptop, or grab a notebook and a pen, and just start writing. Just let your mind take you wherever it wants to go. 　 4 　 Take a breather. Everyone may reach points where they get stuck on an idea and can't get past it. Don't let this discourage you, and don't blame yourself. That sort of thinking will make you disheartened and distracted, which will only make you even more frustrated. 　 5 　 Go outside for some fresh air, take a walk, eat a meal, or call a friend. Distraction, in moderation, can be very rewarding. A．Write freely. B．Keep an open mind. C．Instead, take a short break. D．Keep your spirits high at work and even during the holidays. E．This is a great way to explore your thoughts and expand your creativity. F．Your work environment can also greatly affect the way the brain functions. G．Anything making you a bit uncomfortable probably benefits you more than it harms you. [语篇解读]　这是一篇说明文。创造性思维能力并不是每个人与生俱来的天赋，但是可以把它作为一种技能来培养。文章对如何提高创造性和批判性思维的能力提出了一些建议。 1．解析：G　[根据后文We all grow from discomfort. 可知，我们都是从不适中成长起来的。由此可知，设空处是在说明让你感觉不舒服的事情也是对你有好处的。G项“任何让你感到有点不舒服的事情，对你来说可能利大于弊”符合语境。] 2．解析：F　[根据后文Some people are easily distracted by a messy office or a dark room. Most people are the most awake when they are in clean, healthy, and organised environments. 可知，本句是在说明工作环境对大脑的影响。故F项“你的工作环境也会极大地影响大脑的运作方式”符合语境。] 3．解析：A　[设空处为本段小标题，结合后文中的Open up a laptop, or grab a notebook and a pen, and just start writing. Just let your mind take you wherever it wants to go.可知，本段是在介绍自由发挥式的写作，让你的思想带你去它想去的地方。故A项“自由写作”能够概括本段内容。] 4．解析：E　[设空处为本段最后一句，结合前文中的It's an easy tool to get the creative juices flowing.及Just let your mind take you wherever it wants to go.可知，此处承接上文，说明这种自由式的写作方式所带来的好处——可以探索你的想法和扩展你的创造力。故E项符合语境。] 5．解析：C　[根据后文Go outside for some fresh air, take a walk, eat a meal, or call a friend. Distraction, in moderation, can be very rewarding.可知，本句是在强调要出去走走，休息一会儿。故C项“相反，稍微休息一会儿”符合语境。] Ⅲ.语法填空 Robots Attend Graduation Ceremony on the Students' Behalf Due to the COVID­19，many special events or gatherings have been put off as a way 　 1 　 (limit) viral transmission. But for Japanese graduating students, 　 2 　 ongoing virus will not prevent them from walking on stage to accept their diplomas.
