8、 Those are some of the things weve seen robots offering at the media center of Beijing Winter Olympics. And most of the robots weve seen here arent made to look human. Instead, they present a wide range of looks. Two of the most advanced robots regularly operate in crowded space. One greets visitors
9、, answers questions and offers to guide people through the crowds. Another one cleans the carpeted hallways of the main press center. It speaks to passersby in a womans voice. It seems to be speaking English. But we cannot make it out well, because it also plays joyful music while its two front brus
10、hes are clearing dust and dirt like a futuristic street-sweeper. Dont assume these robots work all hours just because theyre robots. They have carefully managed schedules. For example, the snack robots just go around the media center for about 15 minutes every hourusually only between noon and 17: 0
11、0. Another kind of robots helps out with logistics (物流) at the media center. These robots can carry up to 300 kilograms of goods, move freely along the relatively empty halls and automatically recharge themselves. They send unique codes through text messages to the receivers when the delivery has ar
12、rived. Then they can pick up the goods with the codes. There are even COVID-fighting robots, which move around pre-programmed areas spreading chemicals. Food ordering, making and serving in the dining room are fully automatical too. Reporters from around the world can enjoy various food options here
13、. In short, robots are expected to play an outstanding role in the upcoming Beijing Winter Olympics. But the most important goal is to reduce direct contact (接触) between people.4What can the robots do according to paragraph 2?ASing and dance at the entrance.BGuide guests in crowded areas.CCook and s

16、rCRobots Important Roles at 2022 Beijing Winter OlympicsDA Unique Robot Show at Beijing Winter Olympics Media CenterThe world is getting greener, according to a new study published in Nature this week. Chi Chen, lead author of the study, and his colleagues have been mining data collected by an orbit
17、ing NASA camera that monitors green vegetation on Earths surface, day by day. Even more interesting: They are able to show the exact causes of increasing or decreasing leaf cover in particular areas. In some cold places, increase in leaf cover apparently resulted from global warming. Since the clima
18、te is becoming more and more temperate and the growing season is getting longer and longer, the plants are growing bigger and leafier there. “One large area of Brazil lost vegetation. I personally checked the data, and thats because of lack of rain,” Chen said. The most striking changes, though, wer
19、e the result of human decisions in China and India. Both countries have been getting a lot greener. The greening of India, Chen says, comes from a huge expansion of irrigated agriculture. “Instead of having just crops when its raining, they also have a whole six months of cropping and greenness when
20、 its not raining,” he says. “This version of greening isnt really so great for the environment, though. The irrigation drains groundwater, vegetation is wiped away at harvest time and the extra chemicals farmers use produce greenhouse gases.”In China, though, about half of the new leaf cover that Ch
21、en detected appears to be the result of a massive reforestation effort. Its a government-supported attempt to prevent disastrous dust storms that resulted from earlier deforestation. “They are really doing a good job,” Chen says. “They have a large and comprehensive tree planting program. Those tree
22、s will stay in place, capturing (捕捉) dust and also CO2, the greenhouse gas. Theyll store it in wood, roots and soil, doing their part to slow global warming.”8Which of the following best explains the underlined word “temperate” in paragraph 3?AWarm.BWet.CColdDDry.9What has led to the decrease of lea
23、f cover in the Brazilian area?ATree cutting.BDry weather.CSeasonal harvest.DDesertification.10How does Chi Chen probably feel about the greening in India?AExcited.BPuzzled.CWorried.DAnnoyed.11What is the last paragraph mainly about?AThe benefits of tree planting.BThe harm of global warming.CThe cost
24、s of greening in China.DThe cause of greening in China.Scientists are racing to study the volcano in Tonga that erupted just before sundown on January 15, 2022. “Everything so far about this eruption is really strange,” said Janine Krippner, a scientist with Smithsonians Global Volcanism Program. “T
25、he sound of the explosion, the tsunami (海啸) waves that followed the eruption and the huge energy of this explosion, which equals to five to six million tons of TNT, are unlike any seen in recent decades.”The sound of the latest eruption could be heard on distant shores around the world. According to
26、 Geoff Kilgour, a scientist from New Zealand, water likely has had a hand in it. “Perhaps the recent explosion had just the right mix of magma (岩浆) and water. Either more or less would have led to a quieter explosion,” he said. The tsunami waves that followed the eruption were even stranger. Tsunami
27、 waves usually start from the center of the eruption. Yet this time, waves appeared in other places, such as the Caribbean, far earlier than would be expected of a classic tsunami. In addition, as tsunami waves travel further, they usually become weaker. While the waves that hit the islands in Tonga
28、 were damaging, they werent high enough to account for the surprisingly larger waves across the ocean. Although many of the volcanoes in deep oceans usually arent deadly, the recent event reminds us that how dangerous they can be and that how little we know about them. However, monitoring underwater
29、 volcanoes is a complex task. GPSwhich is frequently used to track changes in the surface as magma moves undergrounddoesnt work on the seafloor. And obtaining real-time data from seismometers (地震检波器) on the ocean floor is expensive and technologically difficult. The situation in Tonga has also shown
30、 how well the Tonga Geological Services (TGS) has dealt with the latest eruption. “They dont have a huge amount of money. They dont have a huge amount of staff,” Janine Krippner added. “But theyre asked to do a huge amount and they have done a really nice job to reduce the possible damages.”12What c
31、an we infer from the second paragraph?AThe volcano was very destructive.BThe eruption was predicted correctly.CThe explosion was unexpectedly quiet.DScientists knew nothing about volcanoes.13What was strange about the tsunami waves?AThey were surprisingly low across the ocean.BThey became weaker as
32、they traveled further.CThey started from the center of the eruption.DThey appeared earlier in other faraway places.14Why is it challenging to monitor the volcanoes in deep oceans?AIt is very expensive to build more GPS stations.BThere are too few scientists hired for the research.CIt is too difficul
33、t and expensive to get data on time.DThe undersea volcanoes are too dangerous to be studied.15What is Janine Krippners attitude to TGSwork?ASkeptical.BPositive.CUnconcerned.DCritical.二、七选五Communication is essential for people to share information, form relationships and strengthen those relationship

Communication barriers can prevent two people from making their points understandable to each other. _16_ Luckily, this article will offer you an insight into barriers of communication and how to overcome them.Cultural DiversityPeople belo
