Fried foods like French fries are going high-tech thanks to a company in California. Miso Robotics Inc. has released its Flippy 2 robot. It uses a large robotic arm and is directed by cameras and artificial intelligence. It takes frozen French fries and other foods out of a freezer, puts them into hot oil, and then places them ready-to-serve into a container.
Flippy 2 can cook several meals with different cooking processes at the same time. Miso says this reduces the need for employees and speeds up the time for people to get their food at drive-through windows.
Miso Chief Executive Mike Bell said that when an order comes in through the restaurant system，it automatically（自动地）tells Flippy what to do.“It does it faster or more accurately, more reliably ad happily than most humans do it.” Bell added.
The robot's name comes from an earlier robot named Flippy. Flippy was designed to flip （翻转）fast-food burgers. But once Miso＇s team finished that machine， they saw there was a greater need at the fry station, especially late at night. Several restaurant chains have started using the robotic fry cook. Next, the company is developing Sippy, a drink-making robot that will take orders from buyers and prepare drinks.
Bell said that in the future, people will “walk into a restaurant and look at a robot and say,' Hey, remember the old days when humans used to do that kind of thing '... it's coming. ... It's just a matter of...how quick.”
24. What can Flippy 2 do
A.Serve the table.
C.Place an order.
B.Fry frozen food.
D.Check the menu.
25.What is the main advantage of Flippy 2 over human cooks
A.It never makes mistakes.
B. It cooks tastier food.
C. It saves cooking materials.
D. It offers quicker services.
26. What do Flippy 2 and Sippy have in common
A. They take orders from buyers directly.
B. They have been employed by restaurants.
C. They are only used in fast-food chains.
D.They are developed by the same company.
27. What is Mike Bell's attitude towards the robot cooks' future
A.Promising.
B.Uncertain.
C.Dark.
D.Costly.

Growing up on a remote Michigan farm, Henry Ford knew little of all this-but he soon showed his interest more in the industrial future than in the agricultural past. His father, William, hoped his eldest son would join him on the farm, and finally take it over. But Henry hated farm work and did everything he could to avoid it. It was not that he was lazy but that the repetitive（日复一日的）daily life of the farm upset him. If given a mechanical （机械的）job to do，he would set to work eagerly. When he was twelve， he became almost uncontrollably interested in clocks and watches. Soon he was repairing clocks and watches for friends.
In 1876, His wife died in childbirth. Henry suffered a blow and decided to get away from the farm as soon as he could. Three years later, he worked as a mechanic in Detroit. One day in 1877， when he first saw a steam-driven locomotive（蒸汽机车），Henry went to the locomotive driver and asked him with plenty of questions about the engine's performance. From then on, Henry became crazy about steam engines. Later, with the help of an old co-worker, Henry got an engineer position at the Edison Detroit Electricity Company. Although Henry quickly became chief engineer at the Detroit power factory, his interest in fuel engines dominated his life. He spent his most spare time trying to build an engine to his own design. Henry went through the hard way to build an engine by hand from the beginning. It was two years before he had succeeded in building a working car. It was unattractive-looking on bicycle wheels and driven by a rubber belt（橡胶带）that connected the engine. Henry called it the“Quadricycle”.
28.Why did Henry hate the farm work
A.The farm work was complex.
C.The farm work was too boring.
B.The farm work was too much.
D. The farm work was traditional.
29. What does the underlined word “dominated” mean in Paragraph 2
A.Gave up
B.Broke down
C.Took up
D.Cut down
30. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about
A. Henry's dream to be a successful engineer.
B. Henry's hard journey to build his working car.
C. Henry's family background to get an engineer job.
D. Henry's efforts to learn the agriculture knowledge.
31.Which word can best describe Henry
A.Generous.
B. Humourous.
C.Open-minded.
D. Strong-willed.
D
We often think that buying an artificial tree instead of a real one for Christmas will help the environment by not cutting down trees. However, this argument doesn't consider the process of producing and disposing of the trees, during which a lot of CO2 emissions are being let off into the air. Actually， increased demand（需求）for real trees is helping the environment.
Artificial trees, when created, give out an average of 40kg of CO2. To harvest a real Christmas tree，very little CO2 emissions are caused． If left to biodegrade（生物降解），a real tree will return to the earth in one to two years depending on conditions. An artificial tree, however, will take hundreds of years to degrade, letting out more pollutants into the air. Further, even if an artificial tree is recycled, the process will continue to produce even more CO2.
Real trees do not have these problems. They can have positive effects on our health. When they are near a window and regularly watered, they will produce clean oxygen which can improve health.
Undoubtedly, cutting down trees is bad for the environment, so what makes cutting down Christmas trees any different Christmas trees have specific farms where they are harvested, meaning that protected forests aren't cut down, and, with every tree harvested a new one is planted. The trees aren't harvested until they are between 10 and 12 years old and the farms always have trees growing while they're harvesting this year's trees.
If you have already used an artificial tree, the best thing you can do is to keep using it year over year to save it from going to landfill.
32. What does the Paragraph 1 say about artificial trees
A. The process of producing them is difficult.
B. The demand for them is on the increase.
C. They help fight against CO2 emissions.
D. They do no good to the environment.
33. How is Paragraph 2 organized
A.By listing data.
C.By making comparisons.
B. By explaining different views.
D. By giving examples.
34. What do we know about the real Christmas trees from the passage
A. They have a bad effect on the environment.
B. Cutting them down almost causes no harm.
C. They are harvested from protected forests.
D.Harvesting them needs great efforts.
35. What's the purpose of the text
A. To inform us of the function of real Christmas trees.
B. To tell us the benefit of not keeping a Christmas tree.
C. To show artificial trees have less value than real trees.
D. To explain why real Christmas trees are environmentally friendly.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Jim Glaub had just been given the keys to his new Manhattan Apartment on 22nd Street. The previous tenant（租客）told him a strange thing.“Letters addressed to Santa Claus kept coming to the apartment, but no one knows why.”The tenant said unwillingly.
Jim settled into his new home, and at the very beginning only a few letters came in from kids or parents, asking “Santa” for gifts they could not afford, such as toys, coats or dolls. Then in the months leading to Christmas, they were flooded. Every day, he'd open his mailbox to find it full of letters to Santa. He responded to as many as he could, writing notes, even buying gifts.
One day, Jim was responding to a letter when his roommate, Parker, walked in.“What are you doing ”Parker asked.“I'm writing a letter to a kid who asked for a new winter coat. I feel bad for these kids who are asking Santa for basic necessities." Parker nodded.“It's heartbreaking. But what can we do？ We can＇t fulfill（满足）all these requests ourselves.”Jim sighed.“I know. I wish we could help them all. ” Despite the challenges, Jim and Parker continued to do their best to respond to as many letters as they could and fulfill some of the requests. This small act of kindness turned into an annual tradition, with Jim and Parker receiving thousands of letters every year.
Years went by, but things didn't turn out to be better. It was time that Jim and Parker should find a way out to help more people and free themselves from the endless letters.
注意：
1．续写词数应为150左右；

M: How do you think the transport system in our city could be improved
W:I think that the public transport system could be made simpler. I never know where the bus routes actually go. They seem to twist and turn rather than going in a straight line.
M: I think we just need to build more roads. Then there would be more space for cars to drive and we'd have fewer traffic jams.
W:If we built more roads, people would just fill them with cars again. I think improving public transport would encourage people to use that. If we also charge people to use their cars downtown, they won't use their cars as much.
M: But people will see it as taking away their freedom. It won't be popular.
W: Car owners will probably be against it, but people who use public transport will be in favor of it.

W:That sounds great. I'm going with my friends. So when are you leaving
M: My dad said he would be free next week. What about you
W:We're leaving tomorrow. We can't wait to go there. There're so many exciting things to do.

As a result, we became good friends. Now we're in the same middle school. He is from a small town. His father is a sales manager and his mother teaches English at a high school. He always completes his homework in time. His books and exercise notebooks are very clean. Though Leo is not top of the class yet he always tries to improve himself. He is a very good basketball player. For the last three years he has been the leader of our school basketball team. He likes to sing songs and he is learning the piano. He likes making friends and helping others. When we first became friends, I wasn't very good at my studies. With his help, I've made much progress. All these qualities of Leo make him a good friend. I am proud of him.
