Bartek Ostalowski lost both his arms in a terrible aceident in 2006, but that wasn’t enough to kill his dream of one day becoming a professional race-car driver. Finding himself armless at just 20 years old and faced with the difficult task of learning to drive a car on a race circuit (赛车道) must have been quite the shock for Bartek, but he gathered the courage and the drive to push on. In three years, he became a master of driving a race-car with his feet. Today, Bartek Ostalowski is the world’s only professional sport driver who drives using his feet.
In order to deal with his physical limitations, Bartek transformed (改装) his race car according to his needs, adding a new engine, and stronger transmission (变速器). The ambitious Polish driver uses his right foot to control the pedals, while moving on with his left one. The race car is controlled with the shoulder.
“After my accident, I was looking for a solution. I asked myself if I wanted to race again what would I need to do ” Bartek told the reporter of Business Insider. “I heard about someone in Poland who, like me, had no arms, but he drove a car on a daily basis with no problem. After meeting him, my dream and passion for motor sports were alive and strong, and I made the decision to return to racing one day.”
In 2019, Ostalowski finished in ninth place out of 50 drivers in the Polish Drift Championship, one of the most competitive championship series in all of Europe, and the year before that, he won the international Czech Drift Series, beating dozens of other professional sports drivers.
“Of course, I encourage other people with disabilities to get involved in motor sports. It’s a beautiful passion and I think a great form of recovery too. So make your dreams come true,” the Polish driver said.

Chinese is one of the world’s most widely spoken language. As one of the six official languages used by United Nations, Chinese now has gained itself greater status (地位) in the world. Chinese is interesting and special. Unlike most other languages, Chinese has a written form and several spoken forms. The official language of China is the Mandarin (普通话).
Mandarin is a statement in China. It is the common language of all modern Han nationality people. Mandarin is shaped and based on the Beijing dialect (方言) and other dialects spoken in the northern areas of China. Mandarin is taught in schools throughout the country. The media, officials, and the government use Mandarin as their main language. When you type in Chinese, you use a phonetic system, called pinyin, which matches the Mandarin pronunciation. Mandarin is used as a mother tongue by most people who are about one fifth of the world’s population. Chinese once had very great influence on some neighboring countries with their languages and characters, such as Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese and so on. In addition to China, Mandarin is an official language in several other countries in Asia.
Nowadays, with the development of China, Chinese people not only speak Chinese, but also learn other languages, such as English. English is a required course and universal education in China and has great popularity. Many Chinese people can speak basic English, especially the youth, students, and staff of service trades like hotels, restaurants, airlines, banks and post offices. In large cities, there are more people who can communicate with foreigners in English. The language communication now is not a problem at all for those that wish to come to China.
Now Chinese is becoming more and more popular. As long as you know Chinese, you’ll also be fine anywhere in China.
28. What can we learn from paragraph 1
A. Chinese has one written and spoken form.
B. The official language of China is Beijing dialect.
C. Chinese plays an important role in the world.
D. Chinese is used as one of the five official languages.

C. The advantages of Mandarin. D. The results of learning Mandarin.
30. Why does the author mention English
A To show the changes in English. B. To advise people to travel in England.
C. To introduce the present situation of English in China. D. To call on people in China to learn English.

A. More and more foreigners will learn Chinese. B. English will be influenced by Chinese.
C. The difficulties of learning Chinese. D. The history of Chinese.

In many restaurants worldwide, there’s a new sight — child-sized robots. These robots can welcome guests, show them to their tables, deliver food and drinks, and even transport dirty dishes back to the kitchen. Some believe these robot waiters could be a solution to today’s worker shortages (短缺，不足) in the restaurant industry, with tens of thousands of them now in use.
But other people think that robots can’t replace (取代) human workers. Robot waiters can’t take orders, and they struggle with steps, limiting their abilities.
Although there are disadvantages, their use is growing. For example, in Madison Heights, Michigan, Li Zhai faced difficulty finding enough workers for his restaurant. To address this, he bought robots from Pudu Robotics. These robots have been a success, with one leading guests to their seats, another delivering food, and a third transporting dirty dishes.
Zhai found that using these robots reduced his need for employees. Three robots now do the work of what used to need five or six people. And a robot costs around $15,000, while a human can cost 5,000 to 6,000 per month. These robots also have a surprising benefit—they free up human servers to spend more time with customers, resulting in increased tips. Additionally, diners (用餐者) often share videos of the robots on social media, attracting more visitors to the restaurant.
However, not all restaurants have had the same success. For example, Chili’s (奇利斯餐厅) introduced robot servers in 2020, but were criticized (批评) for their slow movement and getting in the way of human servers. A survey showed that 58% of guests believed the robots didn’t improve their overall dining experience.
32. What is the purpose of the first paragraph
A. To discuss the advantages of hiring human workers in restaurants.
B. To describe the shortages of child-sized robots in restaurants.
C. To show the success of robot waiters in restaurants.
D. To introduce a survey about robot waiters.
33. What does the underlined word “address” in Paragraph 3 probably mean
A. narrow B. solve C. face D. explore
34. According to Paragraph 4, what is Zhai’s attitude towards robot servers
A. Uncaring. B. Dissatisfied. C. Positive. D. Doubtful.
35. What can be inferred from the passage
A. The use of robot waiters still has a long way to go.
B. All restaurants with robot servers are successful.
C. The restaurant industry is not affected by worker shortages.
D. Restaurant bosses won’t employ robot waiters.

Ever since I can remember, I’ve always been shy. The thought of talking to new people or being the center of attention made my heart race and palms sweat. As I entered middle school, this shyness turned into social anxiety, making it even harder for me to interact with my peers.
One day, during a class presentation, I stumbled (结巴) over my words and everyone laughed. I felt extremely ashamed. That only made my social anxiety worse, and I started avoiding speaking in front of others.
My parents noticed my struggle and suggested I talk to our family therapist (治疗专家), Dr. Smith. At first, I hesitated, but I knew I needed help. During our first period, Dr. Smith explained that social anxiety was a common issue and there were ways to overcome it. She recommended some effective treatments. Over the next few months, I attended weekly treatment with Dr. Smith. Slowly but surely, I began to feel more confident in myself. As part of the treatment, Dr. Smith encouraged me to take part in school events and clubs that interested me. It was terrifying to put myself out there, but I knew it was necessary for my growth.

After meeting him, my dream and passion for motor sports were alive and strong, and I made the decision to return to racing one day.”
In 2019, Ostalowski finished in ninth place out of 50 drivers in the Polish Drift Championship, one of the most competitive championship series in all of Europe, and the year before that, he won the international Czech Drift Series, beating dozens of other professional sports drivers.
“Of course, I encourage other people with disabilities to get involved in motor sports. It’s a beautiful passion and I think a great form of recovery too. So make your dreams come true,” the Polish driver said.

Chinese is one of the world’s most widely spoken language. As one of the six official languages used by United Nations, Chinese now has gained itself greater status (地位) in the world. Chinese is interesting and special. Unlike most other languages, Chinese has a written form and several spoken forms. The official language of China is the Mandarin (普通话).
Mandarin is a statement in China. It is the common language of all modern Han nationality people. Mandarin is shaped and based on the Beijing dialect (方言) and other dialects spoken in the northern areas of China. Mandarin is taught in schools throughout the country. The media, officials, and the government use Mandarin as their main language. When you type in Chinese, you use a phonetic system, called pinyin, which matches the Mandarin pronunciation.

Chinese once had very great influence on some neighboring countries with their languages and characters, such as Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese and so on. In addition to China, Mandarin is an official language in several other countries in Asia.
Nowadays, with the development of China, Chinese people not only speak Chinese, but also learn other languages, such as English. English is a required course and universal education in China and has great popularity. Many Chinese people can speak basic English, especially the youth, students, and staff of service trades like hotels, restaurants, airlines, banks and post offices. In large cities, there are more people who can communicate with foreigners in English. The language communication now is not a problem at all for those that wish to come to China.
Now Chinese is becoming more and more popular. As long as you know Chinese, you’ll also be fine anywhere in China.

A. Chinese has one written and spoken form.

In many restaurants worldwide, there’s a new sight — child-sized robots. These robots can welcome guests, show them to their tables, deliver food and drinks, and even transport dirty dishes back to the kitchen. Some believe these robot waiters could be a solution to today’s worker shortages (短缺，不足) in the restaurant industry, with tens of thousands of them now in use.
But other people think that robots can’t replace (取代) human workers. Robot waiters can’t take orders, and they struggle with steps, limiting their abilities.
Although there are disadvantages, their use is growing. For example, in Madison Heights, Michigan, Li Zhai faced difficulty finding enough workers for his restaurant. To address this, he bought robots from Pudu Robotics. These robots have been a success, with one leading guests to their seats, another delivering food, and a third transporting dirty dishes.
Zhai found that using these robots reduced his need for employees. Three robots now do the work of what used to need five or six people. And a robot costs around $15,000, while a human can cost 5,000 to 6,000 per month. These robots also have a surprising benefit—they free up human servers to spend more time with customers, resulting in increased tips. Additionally, diners (用餐者) often share videos of the robots on social media, attracting more visitors to the restaurant.
However, not all restaurants have had the same success. For example, Chili’s (奇利斯餐厅) introduced robot servers in 2020, but were criticized (批评) for their slow movement and getting in the way of human servers. A survey showed that 58% of guests believed the robots didn’t improve their overall dining experience.
32. What is the purpose of the first paragraph
A. To discuss the advantages of hiring human workers in restaurants.
B. To describe the shortages of child-sized robots in restaurants.
C. To show the success of robot waiters in restaurants.
D. To introduce a survey about robot waiters.
33. What does the underlined word “address” in Paragraph 3 probably mean
A. narrow B. solve C. face D. explore
34. According to Paragraph 4, what is Zhai’s attitude towards robot servers
A. Uncaring. B. Dissatisfied. C. Positive. D. Doubtful.
35. What can be inferred from the passage
A. The use of robot waiters still has a long way to go.
B. All restaurants with robot servers are successful.
C. The restaurant industry is not affected by worker shortages.
D. Restaurant bosses won’t employ robot waiters.
【答案】32. C 33. B 34. C 35. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了餐馆中使用机器人服务员的情况，包括其优点和缺点，以及不同餐馆的成功和失败经验。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“In many restaurants worldwide, there’s a new sight — child-sized robots. These robots can welcome guests, show them to their tables, deliver food and drinks, and even transport dirty dishes back to the kitchen. Some believe these robot waiters could be a solution to today’s worker shortages in the restaurant industry, with tens of thousands of them now in use.(在世界各地的许多餐馆里，都有一种儿童大小的新型机器人。这些机器人可以欢迎客人，带他们到桌子前，送食物和饮料，甚至把脏盘子运回厨房。一些人认为，这些机器人服务员可以解决当今餐饮业工人短缺的问题，目前已有数万台机器人投入使用。)”可知，在世界各地的许多餐馆，都有一种新型机器人，这些机器人服务员为顾客服务，解决了当今餐饮业工人短缺问题，目前有数万台机器人投入使用，由此可推断，第一段主要是为了告诉我们机器人服务员在餐馆的使用非常成功。故选C项。
【33题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线单词上文“Although there are disadvantages, their use is growing.For example, in Madison Heights, Michigan, Li Zhai faced difficulty finding enough workers for his restaurant.(尽管有这些缺点，但它们的使用正在增长。例如，在密歇根州的麦迪逊高地，Li Zhai的餐馆很难找到足够的工人。)”可知，Li Zhai的餐馆很难找到足够的工人，结合划线单词下文“These robots have been a success, with one leading guests to their seats, another delivering food, and a third transporting dirty dishes.(这些机器人已经取得了成功，其中一个将客人带到座位上，另一个提供食物，第三个运送脏盘子。)”可知，这些机器人可以代替服务员为顾客服务，这样Li Zhai使用机器人服务员解决饭店招不到工人的问题，由此可知，划线单词的意思与“解决”意义相近。故选B项。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Zhai found that using these robots reduced his need for employees. Three robots now do the work of what used to need five or six people. And a robot costs around $15,000, while a human can cost $5,000 to $6,000 per month. These robots also have a surprising benefit — they free up human servers to spend more time with customers, resulting in increased tips. Additionally, diners（用餐者）often share videos of the robots on social media, attracting more visitors to the restaurant.(Zhai发现，使用这些机器人减少了他对员工的需求。过去需要五六个人才能完成的工作，现在三个机器人就能完成。而且一个机器人的成本约为 15000 美元，而一个人每月的成本为5000至6000美元。这些机器人还有一个惊人的好处——它们解放了人类服务员，让他们有更多的时间和顾客在一起，从而增加了小费。此外，食客们经常在社交媒体上分享机器人的视频，吸引更多的游客来餐厅。)”可知，Zhai 发现使用这些机器人减少了对员工的需求，降低了成本，而且还增加了消费，食客们在社交媒体上分享的视频还可以吸引更多的游客增加消费，机器人服务员带来很多的好处，由此可知，Zhai 对机器人的态度是赞成支持的。故选C项。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据尾段中的“However, not all restaurants have had the same success. For example, Chili’s (奇利斯餐厅) introduced robot servers in 2020, but were criticized (批评) for their slow movement and getting in the way of human servers. A survey showed that 58% of guests believed the robots didn’t improve their overall dining experience.(然而，并不是所有的餐馆都取得了同样的成功。例如，Chili’s在2020年推出了机器人服务器，但因移动缓慢和妨碍人类服务器而受到批评。一项调查显示，58%的客人认为机器人并没有改善他们的整体用餐体验。)”可知，并不是所有的机器人服务员都取得了成功并列句了实例和调查的结果，由此推知，机器人服务员的使用还有很长的路要走。故选A项。
