Christian Eijkman,a Dutch doctor,left the Netherlands for the island of Java.Many people on the island had a disease called beri-beri.He was going there to try and find a cure.
At first,Eijkman thought some kind of germ （细菌） caused beri-beri.He raised some chickens.He didn't eat them,but made experiments on them.The local people were quite surprised at that.One day he noticed that his chickens became sick when they were fed the food most Javanese ate - refined white rice （精炼米）.When he fed them with unrefined rice,also known as brown rice,they recovered.Eijkman realized that he had made an important discovery - that some things in food could prevent disease.These things were named vitamins（维生素）.The Javanese were not getting enough vitamins because they had actually removed the part that contains vitamins.Later,other diseases were also found to be caused by the lack of vitamins in a person's food.
Today many people know the importance of vitamins and they make sure they have enough vitamins from the food they eat.If they don't,they can also take vitamin pills.

Do you think studying in a different country that sounds very exciting and great fun？Do you think you would have lots of desirable fun？Certainly,it is a new experience,one that brings the opportunity（机会）to discover amazing things and a feeling of freedom.But do remember that there are also some challenges,for your views may disagree with the different beliefs,norm（社会准则），values and traditional countries.This is called "culture shock".The following are the stages of adjusting （调整）.
The first stage is called "the honeymoon"，where you are excited about living in a different place and everything seems to be fantastic.You like everything,and everybody seems to be so nice to you.Also,the amusement of life in a new culture seems as though it will have no ending.Eventually,however,the second stage of culture shock appears,"the hostility stage".Everything that seemed so wonderful is now awful.Usually you protect yourself against the effects of culture shock.
Next comes the stage,"recovery" .You start to feel more positive.You recover from the first two stages.Even though the culture are different from your own,you begin to appreciate it.
The last stage is "adjustment".In this stage,you have reached a point where you actually feel good because you are able to understand the new culture.
Obviously,culture shock is not something you can avoid in a foreign country.When you have completely adjusted to a new culture,you can more fully enjoy it.Furthermore,learning about other cultures and how to adjust to the shock of living in them helps you learn more about yourself.

The American robotics company Boston Dynamics recently made public a new robot called Stretch.It is designed to do only one job：to move containers,or boxes,in large storage buildings called warehouses（仓库）.
Michael Perry is vice president of business development for Boston Dynamics.He said Stretch is the first robot designed for one job that the company has built.He added that the robot was developed because of requests from companies around the world.
"We heard pretty much universally across warehousing that truck unloading is one of the most physically difficult and unpleasant jobs.And that's where Stretch comes into play," Perry told Reuters.
Stretch has a small base that allows it to move around small spaces in existing warehouses without having to redesign them.The robot also has an arm with highly developed cameras that can identify（确定） and deal with boxes of many shapes and sizes.
Perry said Stretch can pick up boxes that weigh about 23 kilograms.He added that the robot can move about 800 boxes in one hour.Boston Dynamics is known for YouTube videos of its dog-like "Spot" and humanoid "Atlas" robots.Perry said now is a good time for its latest robot to benefit from increasing demand for speedy home delivery （运送）.
Experts say the warehousing industry experienced strong growth in 2020.That growth is expected to continue this year.They say online buying during the COVID-19 health crisis drove the need for a huge expansion（扩大）in delivery services.
Boston Dynamics has not decided on a price for Stretch.But the company said the system can be set up without costly redesigns or investments in new buildings or structures.
12. What makes Stretch move easily through small places？ ______

41. 【解析】（1）to save.考查不定式。句意：故宫博物院宣布，现在所有门票都在网上销售，此举是为了省去游客在大门口排队买票的麻烦。名词move后面用动词不定式作定语，表示将要发生的动作。故填to save。
（2）its.考查代词。句意：10月2日是故宫博物院（又称紫禁城）在网上销售8万张门票的第一天。设空处作定语修饰名词tickets,应用形容词性物主代词，故填its。
（3）who / that.考查定语从句。句意：对于未提前购票的游客，博物馆工作人员将通过扫描二维码，协助他们在移动设备上购票。此处为非限制性定语从句，先行词visitors指人，连接词在从句中作主语，应用关系代词who或that引导定语从句，故填who/that。
（4）by.考查介词。句意：对于未提前购票的游客，博物馆工作人员将通过扫描二维码，协助他们在移动设备上购票。根据空后的scanning a QR code和句意可知，此处意为"通过"应用介词by,故填by。
（5）Based.考查过去分词。句意：根据目前的销售数据，每天可以使用二维码在现场购买15000到20000张门票。base sth on/upon sth"以…为基础（或根据）"，固定短语，主语between 15，000 to 20，000 tickets 与动词base之间为被动关系，应用过去分词作状语，句首单词首字母需大写。故填Based。
（6）previously.考查副词。句意：这一数额大约是原先两小时内通过30个售票亭售出的数额。此处应用副词作状语修饰动词sold,表示"原先；以前"，故填previously。
（7）or / and.考查连词。句意：如果游客无法在网上购票，例如老年人、外国游客或/和那些没有电子支付的游客，博物馆的工作人员可以代他们在网上订票。the elderly,foreign tourists 与those without e-payment之间为选择关系或并列关系，所以用连词or或and连接，故填or/and。
（8）were booked.考查时态和语态。句意：去年，大约77%的门票是在网上预订的。设空处作谓语，主语tickets与动词book（预订）之间为被动关系，结合时间状语Last year可知，谓语动词应用一般过去时的被动语态，tickets是复数名词，故填were booked。
（9）has received.考查时态及主谓一致。句意：自2012年以来，博物馆每年至少接待1500万游客，去年游客人数达到1600万。时间状语Since 2012一般用于现在完成时，主语the museum是单数名词，助动词应用has,故填has received。
（10）the.考查冠词。句意：自2012年以来，博物馆每年至少接待1500万游客，去年游客人数达到1600万。根据句意可知，这里表达的是"游客的数量"，应用the number of；a number of表示"许多，大量"，不符合语境，故填the。
42.【答案】When that comes to books and films,I prefer reading books than to watching films.In my opinion,books have many beautiful words what make people feel happily.When we are busy studying and want to find approaches to relax ourselves,we can read a book.It always make my heart feel peaceful or clear.Some books may not ∧understood easily,but they make us think more.Films may have some crazy parts sometimes.
