20、s home in Troy, Kansas, Dennis Ruhnke watched images of New York hospitals crowded with coronavirus patients, and knew he had to do something to help with the epidemic. A retired farmer, Ruhnke had an unused N95 face mask, which he sent to New York Governor Andrew Cuomo along with a note asking Cuom
21、o to please pass the mask to a doctor or nurse. “I think a medical worker deserves it more than I,” said Dennis. He never expected Cuomo to even read the letter, let alone share it during one of his daily news conference. His act of kindness inspired local officials and a neighbor to try to realize
22、one of Ruhnkes dreams: receiving his college diploma. In 1971, Ruhnke was just two credits shy of earning his degree in agriculture from Kansas State University when he had to drop out. His father had died, and he needed to look after his mother and take over the family farm. Ruhnke always thought a
23、bout going back, but by the time he approached the school, he was told that his credits were no longer valid, and he would have had to start over. He has ever since felt regretful as he was once so close to becoming the first one with a college degree in the family. Kansas governor Laura Kelly and K
24、ansas State President Richard Myers found a way to get around that, awarding Ruhnke with his degree on Tuesday. “Dennis is a Kansas agriculturist in every sense of the word, and today, were simply giving him the paperwork to make it official,” Kelly said. Ruhnke told The Mercury that people have bee
25、n asking him how they can help, and he tells them to “just pay it forward as much as you can afford to do so” in honor of first responders and those who have died of COVID-19. 24.

28、ks C If youve ever passed the cockpit(驾驶舱)while boarding a flight and tried to pick up bits from your pilots conversation, you probably didnt understand much of them. Do they want to keep something in the dark? For terms like “niner” to “Zulu”, pilot-speak may sound like all Greek to you. But in thi
29、s way, what happens to pilots can be expressed clearly and briefly. Thats why it is well-recognized in this industry. Pan-pan. Airline passengers likely wont ever hear their pilot use this term, which is reserved for communication with air traffic controllers. When pilots notice something unusual wi
30、th their aircraft that stops short of an immediate emergency, they use “pan-pan”. For example, if one of a multi-engine aircrafts engine has failed, pilots might say “pan-pan” to get controllers attention and request an emergency landing. George is flying the plane now. There is a “George” on nearly
31、 every commercial aircraft. Pilots often allocate George to command the plane when it reaches cruising(巡航)altitude or when theyve flown for more than 10 hours, when theyre required to rest according to rules for two-pilot planes. Were flying through an air pocket. “Air pocket” is a more acceptable e
32、xpression for the word “turbulence”, a sudden and violent changes in the direction that air is moving in. This term might ease the sudden and strong impact on ears and causes less panic among passengers in an emergency. There are 155 souls on board. The number of “souls” on an aircraft refers to the
33、 total living bodies on the plane, including every passenger, pilot, flight attendant and crew member. Pilots report the number of “souls” only when declaring an emergency to avoid confusion between the number of passengers and the number of the crew. “A lot of the ways we say things to be meaningfu
34、l to other pilots is kind of monkey-see, monkey-do,” says Ferdi Mack, senior manager at the Pilot Information Center. “But the most important part of the challenge is that a smooth flight can be thus ensured.” 28. Why do pilots prefer to use pilot-speak? A. It is a good way to keep talks secret. B.
35、Short terms are much easier to understand. C. It makes for clear and brief communication. D. Pilot-speak helps promote Greek language. 29. What can we know from Paragraph 2? A. Passengers expect the pilots to use Pan-pan often. B. Pan-pan only takes place between the two pilots. C. Pan-pan serves as
36、 a signal of urgency and attention. D. Ground controllers use Pan-pan for a crash landing. 30. What can be inferred from the text? A. Every plane employs a George on board. B. Air pocket is only used for an emergency landing. C. The term “souls” is frequently used during the flight. D. Pilot-speak c
37、an be pleasant to the ear and cause less panic. 31. How does Ferdi feel about pilot-speak? A. Doubtful. B. Ridiculous. C. Objective. D. Favorable. D If youre in a job performing dull tasks, you might think that a robot could do the work instead. But perhaps we underestimate(低估)how much technology al
38、ready helps with the activities that we would otherwise have to do. And as artificial intelligence progresses, we might find it replaces us in the workplace altogether. For now, robotic technology is providing a helping hand for businesses, particularly in manufacturing(制造业), assisting humans in per
39、forming work more efficiently and sometimes more accurately. For online shopping, for example, robots have become vital in giant warehouses. They sort and move millions of objects of all different shapes and sizes, although humans are still needed to pick and distribute the goods. The advancement of
40、 robotics in the workplace is good for some businesses; the ones who research, develop, build and use them. The British government estimates that by 2035, artificial intelligence could add around 630bn to the UK economy. But there are still tasks that robots cant yet do, and thats the challenge for
41、companies such as Automata. Its co-founder, Suryansh Chandra, told the BBC that his technology will do its best to eliminate boring, repetitive jobs that humans dont like and arent very good at, and also create new ones that are likely to replace them. It seems certain that robots will eventually be
42、 able to do more and more of the jobs that are currently performed by humans, so should we be worried by the rise of the machines? Some experts fear hundreds of thousands of jobs could disappear as robots replace human workers. A recent report suggests that 14 percent of jobs are “at high risk of au
43、tomation” and 32 percent of jobs could be “basically transformed”, with the manufacturing sector at the highest risk. But as complete automation is some way off, for now we11 have to work side-by-side with our robot colleagues and manage to go hand in hand with them before they learn to kick us out
44、of the door! 32. The second paragraph is mainly written to .

Learn to kick robots out. 第二节 (共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 Simple ways to keep your mind sharp Were all part of a fantastic intellectual and information
