Foods high in sugar are unhealthy, but these additives are too delicious for many of us to give up or reduce in a way. What if we could somehow enjoy their taste without actually eating them A student team has now designed a spoon with a structure that stimulates taste buds (味蕾) to produce a sense of sweetness without adding calories or chemicals. The project follows previous work involving favor - enhancing cutlery like chopsticks that increase sweetness with a mild electric current.
The five undergraduate and graduate research students wanted to create a new spoon called Sugarware for people with such disorders as diabetes, with which sugar is largely off their menu.
The new spoon would have several bumps (凸起) on its underside to press against the tongue. The bumps can be covered with a permanent layer of molecules (分子) called ligands. These ligands bond with taste – cell receptor proteins that typically react to sugar molecules or artificial sweeteners. The bond can activate nerve signals, causing the brain to register a sense of sweetness. A diner could thus stimulate sweetness receptors without actual intake of sugar or artificial sweeteners.
This idea is similar to the previous work in that they all use cutlery to enhance taste without a user having to actually consume any sugar. “But the mechanism for stimulating the taste buds is completely different,” Shiyu Xu, one of the student researchers, says, “It uses bumps and taste - bud - stimulating molecules rather than electricity.”
The idea is “very creative,” says Paola Almeida, who is the global director of corporate innovation at candy maker Mars. But the product’s commercial success would require a significant behavioral shift among consumers: instead of adding the usual sugar or artificial sweeteners, “now we’re saying, ‘Use this cutlery,’” Almeida says, “It remains to be seen whether favor - enhancing cutlery will catch on.”;
4. What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A.How the new invention works. B.How a diner feel sweetness.
C.How ligands and proteins link. D.How sugar molecules function.;
5. In what way is the previous flavor - enhancing cutlery different from Sugarware
A.It makes food more delicious. B.It sends out signals to the brain.
C.It uses electricity to enhance taste. D.It reduces users’ food consumption.;
6. What is Paola Almeida’s attitude to the future of Sugarware
A.Positive. B.Uncertain. C.Critical. D.Worried.;
7. What’s the best title of the text
A.Struggling for Low Sugar — Try This Spoon
B.Looking for Delicious Food — This is How
C.Working for Commercial Success — Be Creative
D.Dieting for Better Health — Mind Sweeteners
C
Those concerned that robots are taking over the world can rest easy-for now. Though the androids have proved useful at performing ordinary tasks, they are not ready for prime time. At least that appears to be the case at Japan’s cutting-edge Henn-na Hotel chain where over half of the robot staff is being replaced by humans.
The first Henn-na Hotel opened in July 2015, where guests were greeted and checked-in by either a family-friendly English-speaking dinosaur robot or a Japanese-speaking humanoid. Autonomous robots stood ready to help guests carry luggage to their rooms, while a cute doll-shaped android called Churi, placed inside each room, provided them with information about nearby attractions. Even the hotel’s garbage cans were robotic.
Not surprisingly, the lodging, recognized in 2016 as the world’s first robot-staffed hotel by Guinness World Records, drew in curious visitors from all around the world.
But as the years have passed, the hotel’s main draw — its employees — are becoming less of a novelty (新颖) and more of a bother. Also as the robots are “aging”, they are costing more to repair and maintain. Earlier this month, the hotel chain’s parent company H. I. S. announced that it had decided to “fire” over half of the robot employees and replace them with humans. Among them are the chain’s two robot receptionists. In addition to scaring young guests, they are also unable to photocopy guests’ passports-a requirement when checking into a Japanese hotel--forcing human employees to step in each time. Also, out are the cute Churi robots, which have proved unable to answer even the simplest questions and annoyed guests by interrupting their conversations.
While this is a setback, the company’s officials are not discouraged. They plan to continue with their ambitious expansion plans and believe the human-robot interaction is a learning process.“When you actually use robots, you realize there are places where they aren’t needed.” said one of the officials.
8. What could robots in the first Henn-na Hotel do
A.Offer guests traffic information. B.Help guests pack their luggage.
C.Greet guests in English or Japanese. D.Direct guests to check in at the front desk.
9. What’s one of the problems of the “fired” robots
A.They cause trouble to customers. B.They ignore instructions.
C.They annoy human employees. D.They are beyond repair.
10. What can be inferred about the officials of Henn-na Hotel chain
A.They think highly of their interaction with customers.
B.They are against the use of state-of-art equipment.
C.They plan to hire more cute Churi robots.
D.They’ve realized the limitations of robots.
11. What is the best title for the text
A.Robot Employees-Ready for Prime Time
B.Japanese Hotel Chain Expands Ambitiously
C.Robot Employees-a New Novelty for Hotels
D.Japanese Hotel Chain “Fires” Robot Employees
二、七选五阅读
No matter how old your kids are, you can take steps to improve a healthy diet and to encourage good eating habits.

42. As we all know, June 5 is the World Environment Day, and as high school students, we should contribute to environmental protection. First of all, at present, tail gas pollution is very serious, and we’d better take public transport or ride a bike instead of driving. In addition, plastic pollution is also severe, and what we can help is to buy glass-bottled water rather than buying plastic-bottled water. Finally, saving water is also one of the effective ways to protect the environment. When we don’t use tap water, we should turn off the tap immediately instead of keeping the water flowing all the time. I believe that starting from the small things around us, we will have a great impact on the environment.
