I realized I would not see a real person named Sophie at Sophie's Eatery because, like most new restaurants these days, Sophie's is a robo-restaurant.
When I walked in, a cute little manager robot appeared, looking rather like a toaster with blinking(眨) blue eyes. It escorted me to a nice table in the back. The menu monitor popped out of my table and showed me pictures of my dining choices. I tapped my choices and clicked OK, and the screen slid back down.
I watched as full plates rode the conveyer belts that moved along each aisle(过道) of tables. In just a few minutes, my dish stopped at my table, and I took it from the belt. Later, I placed my empty plate back on the conveyer belt, and it was taken away into kitchen to be cleaned.
I watched the little toaster showing customers to tables while I ate my main dish. The food was delicious, but I was starting to feel extremely angry because dealing with robots always makes me feel inhuman. Pretty soon, I wanted to talk to someone real, even if it was just a few sentences.
So when my dessert arrived, I took action. I dropped my plate on the floor with a satisfying crash. I was so happy when I saw the manager toaster's blinking red eyes—at last, a real live person would arrive!
But instead, a crew of two robots quickly appeared. A robot broom rushed over and started to sweep the piece of the broken plate into a robot garbage can. They finished and moved back into the kitchen.
My plan to get a little reality into Sophie's Eatery failed. I hope the robo-restaurant trend ends soon. I want to deal with people again!
1. What does the underlined word "escorted" in Paragraph 2 mean
A. Registered. B. Guided. C. Conducted. D. Rushed.
2. What is the purpose of the author crashing his plate
A. To deal with a real human. B. To catch attention of the robots.
C. To play jokes on the robots. D. To complain about the bad service.
3. Which of the following best describes the author's feeling at Sophie's Eatery
A. Satisfied. B. Shocked. C. Annoyed. D. Curious.
4. What is the text mainly about
A. The trend of dining with robots. B. The advantage of robo-restaurants.
C. The food variety of a robo-restaurant. D. The dining experience at a robo-restaurant.

It's lunchtime, and I'm eager to try a new establishment that opened near our office in midtown Manhattan. I walk to the shiny new storefront, place my order and make my way to the counter(柜台) to pay. As I dig into my wallet and start to pull out some cash, the person behind the counter interrupts me. "No cash, please!" says the cashier.
These days, establishments that no longer accept cash have increased greatly. It's long been said that "cash is king", but the tendency could be turning in the US. While cash continues to be the most common payment method among consumers, its usage is declining. The use of cash in 2019 dropped by 3 percentage points to 30 percent of all transactions(交易) in just two years, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco's 2020 Diary of Consumer Payment Choice. What's more, because cash is most likely to be used in small transactions ($ 10 or less), it accounted for only 9 percent of the total payment value in the same year. The use of cards, at the same time, has held steady, and mobile payments have begun to grow.
Nearly cashless societies are already a reality outside the US. In Sweden, cash accounts for only 2 percent of the value of all payments, and total cash in circulation accounts for just 1 percent of Swedish GDP. China, meanwhile, leads the way in mobile payments, recording more than $ 20 trillion in 2019.
But should a cashless future be accepted enthusiastically
It's true that not handling cash could allow for an increase in speed and efficiency(效率). Cashless payments, however, have their downside. We might start to see a rise in cybercrimes(网络犯罪), while a cashless society could decrease physical crimes. Critics argue that cashless establishments unfairly affect those who are less likely to have access to noncash payment methods—namely the unbanked/underbanked. According to the Pew Research Center, those in households earning less than $ 30,000 per year are more likely to use cash than those with higher incomes.
A cashless society, no doubt, has its advantages, but it can also bring a host of new challenges.
1. What problem does the author have at lunchtime
A. He loses his way. B. He forgets to bring cash.
C. He fails to have his lunch. D. He is asked not to pay in cash.
2. What can we learn about the use of cash in the US in 2019
A. It saw a fall.
B. It only happened in small transactions.
C. It accounted for 3% of all its transactions.
D. It was less frequent than the use of mobile payments.
3. Why does the author mention Sweden and China
A. To list the benefits of cashless payments.
B. To voice his doubt about cashless societies.
C. To show the global spread of cashless societies.
D. To show the influence of cashless payments on people's life.
4. What is one reason why the author is against a cashless society
A. It is inconvenient for small transactions. B. It puts some people at a disadvantage.
C. It puts the underbanked in danger. D. It encourages physical crimes.
答案以及解析
【夯实基础】
1.答案:legendary
解析:句意:泰山长期以来一直是旅游胜地,许多中国传奇故事都与之有关。表示“传奇的故事”,应用其形容词形式修饰stories,故填legendary。
2.答案:dusty
解析:句意:历史不仅仅是研究布满灰尘的老物件和过去已久的大事件。修饰后面的名词objects,用形容词作定语。
3.答案:bricks
解析:句意:这个地区的当地居民过去常常用砖和石头建房子。根据语境可知,此处是复数概念,故用名词的复数形式。
4.答案:decades
解析:句意:达到符合需要的合适教育水平要花好几十年的时间。根据空前的many可知应使用可数名词复数形式,故填decades。
5.答案:furniture
解析:句意:我们花了一上午量来量去,决定家具怎么摆。在冠词the后面,用名词形式作主语,且furniture为不可数名词。
【提升能力】
6.答案:As is known to everybody
解析: as可以引导非限制性定语从句,在句中作主语、表语或宾语。根据句意并分析句子结构可知,这里用As引导非限制性定语从句,As指代整个主句的内容。
7.答案:would catch the early bus to work
解析:would 作为will的过去式,用来表示过去的习惯性的动作。
8.答案:tired and hungry
解析:形容词作状语通常用于说明主语的情况,表示主语的状态、性质或特征等。此时,形容词可位于句首、句末或句中,通常和句子其他部分用逗号分开。
9.答案:the world were at an end
解析: as if 引导表语从句时,当说话人认为句子所表述的是不真实的或极少有可能发生或存在的情况时,从句中用虚拟语气。根据句意可知,此处表示与现在事实相反的假设,故从句谓语动词用一般过去时,be动词一般用were。
10.答案:The day the People's Republic of China was founded
解析:根据句意并分析句子结构可知,the day在这里用作连词,引导时间状语从句。

A
答案:1-4 BACD
解析:1.词义猜测题。根据第四段中的I watched the little toaster showing customers to tables while I ate my main dish.可知,机器人把顾客带到餐桌前。It escorted me to a nice table in the back.中的escorted应与guide意义相近,即escort意为"指引,护送"。register登记,guide指引,conduct组织,rush迅速移动。故选B项。
2.推理判断题。根据第四段中的Pretty soon, I wanted to talk to someone real, even if it was just a few sentences.可知作者想和一个真人说说话。第五段中作者采取行动,即故意把盘子掉在地板上,结合at last, a real live person would arrive.以及下一段可知,作者摔盘子的目的是想和一个真正的人交流。B项"为了吸引机器人的注意",C项"为了和机器人开玩笑"和D项"为了抱怨糟糕的服务"都不符合题意。故选A项。
3.推理判断题。根据第四段中I was starting to feel extremely angry.可知,作者对在这家餐厅吃饭感到非常生气。因此annoyed"恼怒的"最能描述作者在机器人餐馆的就餐心情。satisfied满意的,shocked震惊的,curious好奇的,都不符合作者当时的心情。故选C项。
4.主旨大意题。通读文章可知,本文主要讲述了作者在一家机器人餐厅就餐的经历,故选D项。A项"与机器人吃饭的趋势",B项"机器人餐厅的优势"和C项"机器人餐厅的饮食种类"都与文章主旨不符。故选D项。
B
答案:1-4.DACB
解析:1.细节理解题。根据第一段中的最后一句可知,作者在付账时,商家不让他用现金支付。A选项与文章信息不符;通过第一段中的As I dig into my wallet and start to pull out some cash可知,作者带了现金,因此B项错误;C项文章没有提及。故选D项。
2.细节理解题。根据第二段中的The use of cash in 2019 dropped by 3 percentage points可知,2019年美国现金使用率在下滑。根据第二段中的because cash is most likely to be used in small transactions可知,现金支付最有可能在小型交易中进行,B项说法太绝对,不符合文意;根据第二段中的it accounted for only 9 percent of the total payment value in the same year可知C项错误;D选项文中没有提及。故选A项。
3.推理判断题。根据第三段的主题句Nearly cashless societies are already a reality outside the US.可知,作者举瑞典和中国的例子是为了说明从全球来看,有些国家无现金支付普及率很高。故选C项。
4.推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的Critics argue that cashless establishments unfairly affect those who are less likely to have access to noncash payment methods可推断,并不是每个人都有条件选择无现金支付,因此无现金支付对某些社会群体不公平。A、C两项文中没有提及相关信息;由倒数第二段中的while a cashless society could decrease physical crimes可知,D项错误,无现金社会可以减少暴力犯罪。故选B项。
