Q A table-waiting robot cat built by a Chinese technology firm gan carry plates of food,show customers around a restaurant,miaow at diners and even react to having its ears touched. Making its first appearance at the 2020 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas,the so-called BellaBot was built for Chinese restaurants lacking enough waiters. It has four shelves in the centre of its tower-like body to carry plates.Having been loaded up with meals by its human workmates,BellaBot miaows when it delivers food to diners to encourage them to take their plates.If customers thank BellaBot by touching its ears,it will respond with a look of pleasure on its screen,which displays( animations of a cat's face. "The owner's hand is so warm,"BellaBot has been programmed to respond. However,much like a real cat,the robot's reaction soon changes if it is petted for too long. "It gets mad to remind you not to interrupt its job,"the designers introduced. In a real-world food-service setting,however,BellaBot may find it difficult to operate at the busiest times. Anyway,restaurants are expected to increase their relying on automatons(小型机器人)一whether in the form of robotic waiting staff or not. Furthermore,improvements in technology will see consumer robot designs grow steadily better at communicating with humans and dealing with new activities. 28.BellaBot was built to A.improve restaurants'environment B.overcome the lack of waiters C.change food service styles D.attract young customers 29.We know from Paragraph 3 that BellaBot can_ 第4页共8页 A.play programs B.load itself with meals C.respond to customers'thanks D.make friends with customers 30.Which of the following can replace the underlined word "petted"in Paragraph 5?

D An online research showed that people believed having the choice to jump through parts of a video or switch( to a different one could make watching videos less boring-the exact reason why people use TikTok or YouTube. But researchers have found that switching to another video,or jumping forwards and backwards in the same one, actually makes people more bored. Dr.Kate Tam at the University of Toronto Scarborough,the lead author of the research,explained that boredom ()is closely connected to our ability to pay attention."We feel bored when there is a gap between how focused we are and how focused we want to be,"she said.When people keep moving quickly through videos,they become less focused with the videos and start looking for something more exciting.This can lead to increased feelings of boredom. To test this idea,the researchers did an experiment which involved over 500 undergraduates.One group watched a single 10-minute video without the choice of switching,while the other group have the choice to click() between several five-minute videos.The results showed that those who could choose between videos felt more bored. "Our research shows that while people switch videos fast to avoid boredom,this behaviour can actually make them feel more bored,"Dr.Tam concluded.She compared the experience to watching a movie in a cinema,where immersion leads to enjoyment.Similarly,true enjoyment from online videos often comes from focusing ourselves in the videos,not from endlessly moving quickly through it.This finding suggests that,sometimes,having fewer choices might actually be better for our focus and enjoyment. 32.Why does the author mention the online research in paragraph 1? A.To introduce the new finding. B.To support an old idea. C.To show the author's opinion. D.To give an interesting example. 33.In Dr.Tam's experiment,how did the researchers test their idea? A.By recording the length of different videos. B.By asking people about their favorite videos. C.By checking how long people could focus on a video. D.By comparing groups with and without the choice to switch. 34.What does the underlined word"immersion"in the last paragraph mean? A.Full attention. B.Great pleasure. C.Short memory. D.Quick response. 35.What is the main idea of the passage? A.Watching videos on TikTok or YouTube brings fun. B.Boredom mainly results from focusing on long videos. C.Switching videos increases rather than reduces boredom. D.Watching videos in cinemas is more enjoyable than watching online 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 第5页共8页 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。有两项为多余选项。 Ever felt like you've got tons of things to finish but just not enough hours in the day?If so,you're facing efficiency issues.But there's no need to worry-this is a common problem for many people.36 Here are some tips to help you solve these problems and take full control of your time and work!

One afternoon,after a particularly heated argument about her curfew ()Emily stormed into her room, slamming the door behind her.She threw herself onto her bed,tears streaming down her face.She couldn't understand why her parents were so unreasonable.She was almost15,after all,and her friends were allowed to stay out later.Why couldn't her parents trust her? As she lay there,her anger slowly gave way to calm.At that time,Emily's phone buzzed.It was a message from her mother,asking if she would go downstairs to have dinner.Buzzing again!It was a message from Dad,which read, "Emily,we love you very much,and we only want what's best for you.We know you're growing up,and we want to respect your independence,but we also need to know you're safe." Emily hesitated but decided it was time to clear the air.When she entered the dining room,she found her parents sitting at the table,looking as upset as she felt.
