Then imagine a smart robot looks at the picture and makes the same sweater! Sounds like magic, right? But it’s actually something that is really close to coming true! Some researchers in Canada have made a special robot. This robot uses AI to look at pictures of knitted (编织) clothes and recreate the same patterns (还原图案)! Even better, the robot can do it all by itself. First, it looks at the picture of a sweater and draws a simple sketch (草图) of the pattern. Then, it turns that sketch into knitting steps that it can follow. It’s like giving the robot a recipe to make soup, but instead, this one knits sweaters! People tested the robot with 5,000 pictures. And you know what? It got the patterns right more than 97% of the time! It can even recreate difficult patterns with many colours. This new robot could be a big help. In the future, it may help make clothes faster and at a lower cost. It might even help us bring back old, special patterns from history. But there’s a worry, too. Many people around the world work in knitting jobs. If robots do the work, those people might lose (失去) their jobs. That could be a big problem. Let’s hope that scientists make the robots even better in the future, while also thinking about how to help people whose jobs may change. ( ) 26. What can the special robot do? A. Take pictures of sweaters. B. Make soup by following recipes. C. Draw pictures of old historical clothes. D. Recreate knitting patterns from pictures. ( ) 27.

What’s the main problem with the new robot? A. It may cost a lot to make. B. It may make people lose jobs. C. It may knit clothes too slowly. D. It may raise the price of knitted clothes. ( ) 30. Why did the writer write the passage? A. To help sell a special robot. B. To introduce a new invention. C. To show the importance of robots. D. To share a personal experience of knitting clothes. C 13 August is a special day for 10% of the world’s people. Those people are happy to celebrate being left-handed on International Left-Handers Day. They also use the time to make people understand the challenges and advantages (优势) of their situation. Left-handers are also called lefties. They meet many challenges daily. That’s because the world is made for right-handed people. For example, when lefties use regular (普通的) scissors, they can’t cut well. Also, in many places, people think being left-handed is bad and impolite. Because of that, people often treat lefties differently. For example, they always ask left-handed children to use their right hands instead. And sometimes left-handed workers get less money than right-handed ones. But life isn’t all bad for left-handers. In some situations, they actually have an advantage over righties. Many people believe lefties use their right brain more. So, they are more creative and often become artists and musicians. Lefties also have more acute (敏锐的) senses. That means they don’t only need language (语言) to understand and feel things. Left-handers also think differently and use their imagination more. They’re good at maths and doing many things at once. In the world of sports, lefties often shine. They’re especially good at baseball and tennis. If you’re right-handed, try doing everything with your left hand on International Left-Handers Day. You’ll quickly see that life isn’t so easy for lefties in a right-handed world. Anyway, being left-handed is just one of the many things that make people different. And that’s something to celebrate! ( ) 31. How does the writer explain what challenges left-handers have? A. By telling stories. B. By offering advice. C. By asking questions. D. By giving examples. ( ) 32. What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 5 refer to? A. Artists. B. Senses. C. Left-handers. D. Right-handers. ( ) 33. Why does the writer ask readers to try using their left hand in the last paragraph? A. To help them relax. B. To teach them a new lesson. C. To make them more creative. D. To help them understand left-handed life. ( ) 34. What can we learn from the passage? A. Righties are always unfriendly to lefties. B. Left-handers only use half of their brains. C. Lefties are better at some things than righties. D. Right-handers have harder lives than left-handers. ( ) 35. What’s the structure of the passage? (①=Paragraph 1, ②=Paragraph 2 …) A. ①②/③④⑤/⑥⑦ B. ①②③/④⑤/⑥⑦ C. ①/②③/④⑤⑥⑦ D. ①/②③④/⑤⑥/⑦ 四、任务型阅读(共5小题，每小题2分，共10分) Douyin and Xiaohongshu are popular social media apps.

Some users of these social media apps have a large number of followers, and they are known as influencers (网红). They try to influence others to do and buy things. Many influencers are successful and make lots of money. However, there are too many of them, and people are getting a little bored. But now, there’s something new and fun! Let’s meet granfluencers.
