The streets of the Land of the Busy Bees were full of people. The people were busy with their work. Everyone worked, and everyone had something to do. Even if you looked around carefully, you couldn’t have found a lazy person. And there was no one begging for food or money.
“I understand,” said Pinocchio tiredly, “this is no place for me! I was not born for work.”
But at the same time, he began to feel hungry. He hadn’t eaten anything in twenty-four hours.
What was to be done
There were only two ways for him to get something to eat. He had to either work or beg.
He was too ashamed to beg. His father had always told him that begging should be done only by the sick or the old. He had said that they were the real poor in this world. They had lost the ways of getting bread with their own hands. They were the only people that needed our help. All others should work. If they didn’t work and went hungry, they deserved it.
Just then, Pinocchio saw a man walking slowly toward him. He looked very tired. He was pulling two heavy carts full of coal with great difficulty.
Pinocchio, thinking that the man looked kind, looked down at the ground and said in shame,
“Would you be so good as to give me a penny I feel weak with hunger.”
“Not only one penny,” answered the Coal Man. “I’ll give you four if you help me pull these two carts.”
“I am surprised!” answered Pinocchio, feeling very much insulted. “I wish you to know that I have never been a donkey. And I have never pulled a cart.”
“Well, good for you!” answered the Coal Man. “Then, my boy, if you really feel weak with hunger, eat two pieces of your pride And hope they don’t make you feel sick.”
In less than half an hour, at least twenty people passed by. Pinocchio begged each one of them, but they all answered, “Aren’t you ashamed Instead of begging in the streets, why don’t you look for a job and buy your own bread ”
21．What does the first paragraph mainly tell us
A．Why people were busy with their work.

C．There were many people in the Land of thc Busy Bees.
D．There were many people busy with their work.

Imagine you walk into your office, with the temperature just right. You sit down and a very valuable and meaningful day begins. This is the kind of smart office that engineers are trying to make. It uses technology to help workers perform their best at work.
It can be bad for your health if you sit in front of a desk for too long. For example, it can cause pain in the back and the neck. Sanon, a company in Zhejiang, built UP7 to deal with this. As a smart lifting desk, UP7 can tell how long a user has been sitting in the chair. When it reaches the setting time, it will “tell” the user to stand up and walk around. It does this by either shaking the table or sending messages to the user’s phone.
The company also invented a kind of smart chair to match with the table. “The chair is so comfortable. It can adjust its arms and height according to your body shape,” a user in Zhejiang said on Xiaohongshu.
In smart offices, you probably won’t use paper notebooks. Instead, you can try electronic paper books to put your work online. N10 from Hanvon Technology in Beijing, is a new “notebook” like this. It uses a screen that doesn’t produce much light. Users write or draw with an electronic pen on the screen.
“It is just like reading and writing on real paper,” a user said. “You can organize, search and save notes easily. You usually need several big paper notebooks to do what the electronic notebook does.”
26．What is the main idea of Paragraph 1
A．A smart office will make the work day longer.
B．A smart office will offer more jobs to engineers.
C．A smart office can help workers work at their best
D．A smart office can check a person’s body temperature.
27．How does UP7 protect users’ bodies
A．By making calls to users.
B．By stopping users from sitting for too long.
C．By moving the chair to relax users’ bodies.
D．By lifting the desk to stop users from working.
28．What does the underlined word “adjust” in Paragraph 3 probably mean
A．Miss. B．Change. C．Depend. D．Repair.
29．Why is N10 better than a paper notebook
A．Because N10 has a big screen.
B．Because N10 can provide light for people to read.
C．Because N10 can read and write on its own.
D．Because N10 can easily organize, search and save notes.
30．In which part of a newspaper may the passage come from
A．Popular Science. B．Social Behavior. C．Weather Conditions. D．Famous Inventors.
【答案】26．C 27．B 28．B 29．D 30．A
【导语】本文主要介绍了对用户友好的智能办公室。
26．段落大意题。根据第一段“This is the kind of smart office that engineers are trying to make. It uses technology to help workers perform their best at work.”可知，它帮助工人在工作中发挥最佳表现。故选C。
27．细节理解题。根据第二段“When it reaches the setting time, it will “tell” the user to stand up and walk around.”可知，当它到达用户设定的时间时，它会“告诉”用户站起来走动，即不要坐太久。故选B。
28．词义猜测题。根据“The chair is so comfortable. It can adjust the arms and height according to your body shape,”可知椅子可以根据体型调整手臂和高度，故划线词意为“调整、改变”。故选B。
29．细节理解题。根据“You can organize, search and save notes easily. You usually need several big paper notebooks to do what the electronic notebook does.”可知，N10可以轻松地组织、搜索和存储笔记。故选D。
30．推理判断题。本文主要介绍了对用户友好的智能办公室，是一篇关于现代科技的文章，故可能出自科学板块。故选A。

When you go to the park, you might notice many older people listening to audiobooks (有声书) instead of reading paper books. 31 Why are more and more people choosing audiobooks over traditional books Is listening to an audiobook just as useful as reading a book
Reading needs us to pay attention to the words in the book, and we also need to find time and a place to sit down and read. 32 At the same time, it gives your eyes a break.
But the big question is, do we get knowledge from audiobooks as effectively (有效地) as we do from paper books 33 Volunteers in Group One were asked to listen to an audiobook while volunteers in Group Two read a book of the same article. It turned out that they remembered the same amount (数量) of information, whether they listened to it or read it.
Another study further supported the result above. In the study, researchers studied people’s brains when they listened to and read books. 34
However, some people still believe that we learn better from reading paper books. 35 If we’re trying to learn while doing two things, we’re not going to learn as well.
A．Researchers did a scientific test to find the answer.
B．Audiobooks have become quite popular these days.

【答案】
prices 37．Add 38．only 39．owner 40．hopes
41．his 42．that 43．friendlier 44．paid 45．politely
【导语】本文主要介绍了一家咖啡店的新规定，如果点餐时有礼貌，饮料就便宜，但如果不礼貌，就会很贵。
36．句意：它出了一条新规：根据他们在点单时的礼貌程度，相同的饮料人们将会支付不同的价格。根据下文“If you say ‘Desi Chai’, it will cost you 5...the word ‘please’, and the chai will come at a price of 3.”可知，此处表示价格不同，名词price“价格”符合语境，此处表示泛指，所以名词price要变成复数。故填prices。
37．句意：添加上词语“请”，那么这个茶的价格将会是3英镑。根据前文“according to how polite they are at the time of placing their order”可知，此处表示添加礼貌用语会让价格降低，动词add“添加”符合语境，此处是祈使句，句首用动词原形，句首首字母大写。故填Add。
38．句意：与此同时，如果你在点单时还添加上词语“你好”，你将只需要支付1.9英镑。与之前的价格相对比，1.9是最少的，所以此处强调只需要花费1.9英镑。only“只”符合语境。故填only。
39．句意：这个咖啡店的主人是Usman Hussain。根据后文“He...the rule...”可推知，Usman是咖啡店的主人。名词owner“主人”符合语境。故填owner。
40．句意：他希望这条规则能提醒人们不要忘记自己的举止，并强化他的店铺“只传递好心情”的文化。结合所给单词和“He...the rule will remind people not to forget their manners”可知，此处表示他希望这条规则能提醒人们不要忘记自己的举止。动词hope“希望”符合语境，根据语境可知，时态是一般现在时，主语He表示单数，所以hope要变成第三人称单数形式。故填hopes。
41．句意：这条规则完全符合他店铺的文化。结合所给单词和“shop’s culture”可知，空格处应填he的形容词性物主代词his“他的”。故填his。
42．句意：Usman多年前从一家美国咖啡馆的帖子中获得了这个想法，该咖啡馆曾推出过同样的规则。分析“an American café...had introduced the same rule”可知，空格处是定语从句的引导词，在从句中作主语，先行词是an American café，指物，结合所给单词，that符合语境。故填that。
43．句意：去年，这条规则刚开始生效，店铺的员工们就发现人们变得友好多了。结合语境和所给单词可知，此处表示人们变得友好多了。形容词friendly“友好的”符合语境，此处暗含比较之意，所以空格处应填friendly的比较级friendlier。故填friendlier。
44．句意：那么，有人真的为他们的茶付过5英镑吗？结合所给单词和“ 5 for their desi chai”可知，本题应使用短语pay...for sth.“为某物支付……”，has是现在完成时的助动词，其后用动词过去分词，所以pay要变成过去分词paid。故填paid。
45．句意：如果人们不礼貌，我会指着写有规则的标牌，他们会更礼貌地再问一次。分析“they will ask again more...”可知，空格处应填副词，用于修饰动词ask，结合所给单词，形容词polite的副词形式politely“礼貌地”符合语境。故填politely。

In the past three years, I think I have worked hard and made some good friends, and I am really happy. But there is probably something wrong between us. I know you love me so much, but I also know you may be not interested in some of my hobbies, such as playing basketball, playing the guitar and chatting with my friends.

The streets of the Land of the Busy Bees were full of people. The people were busy with their work. Everyone worked, and everyone had something to do. Even if you looked around carefully, you couldn’t have found a lazy person. And there was no one begging for food or money.
“I understand,” said Pinocchio tiredly, “this is no place for me! I was not born for work.”
But at the same time, he began to feel hungry. He hadn’t eaten anything in twenty-four hours.
What was to be done
There were only two ways for him to get something to eat. He had to either work or beg.
He was too ashamed to beg. His father had always told him that begging should be done only by the sick or the old. He had said that they were the real poor in this world. They had lost the ways of getting bread with their own hands. They were the only people that needed our help. All others should work. If they didn’t work and went hungry, they deserved it.
Just then, Pinocchio saw a man walking slowly toward him. He looked very tired. He was pulling two heavy carts full of coal with great difficulty.
Pinocchio, thinking that the man looked kind, looked down at the ground and said in shame,
“Would you be so good as to give me a penny I feel weak with hunger.”
“Not only one penny,” answered the Coal Man. “I’ll give you four if you help me pull these two carts.”
“I am surprised!” answered Pinocchio, feeling very much insulted. “I wish you to know that I have never been a donkey. And I have never pulled a cart.”
“Well, good for you!” answered the Coal Man. “Then, my boy, if you really feel weak with hunger, eat two pieces of your pride And hope they don’t make you feel sick.”
In less than half an hour, at least twenty people passed by. Pinocchio begged each one of them, but they all
answered, “Aren’t you ashamed Instead of begging in the streets, why don’t you look for a job and buy your own bread ”
21．What does the first paragraph mainly tell us

D．There were many people busy with their work.

A．At most twenty people. B．About twenty people.
C．More than twenty people. D．No more than twenty people.

Imagine you walk into your office, with the temperature just right. You sit down and a very valuable and meaningful day begins. This is the kind of smart office that engineers are trying to make. It uses technology to help workers perform their best at work.
It can be bad for your health if you sit in front of a desk for too long. For example, it can cause pain in the back and the neck. Sanon, a company in Zhejiang, built UP7 to deal with this. As a smart lifting desk, UP7 can tell how long a user has been sitting in the chair. When it reaches the setting time, it will “tell” the user to stand up and
walk around. It does this by either shaking the table or sending messages to the user’s phone.
The company also invented a kind of smart chair to match with the table. “The chair is so comfortable. It can adjust its arms and height according to your body shape,” a user in Zhejiang said on Xiaohongshu.
In smart offices, you probably won’t use paper notebooks. Instead, you can try electronic paper books to put your work online. N10 from Hanvon Technology in Beijing, is a new “notebook” like this. It uses a screen that doesn’t produce much light. Users write or draw with an electronic pen on the screen.
“It is just like reading and writing on real paper,” a user said. “You can organize, search and save notes easily. You usually need several big paper notebooks to do what the electronic notebook does.”
26．What is the main idea of Paragraph 1
A．A smart office will make the work day longer.
B．A smart office will offer more jobs to engineers.
C．A smart office can help workers work at their best
D．A smart office can check a person’s body temperature.
27．How does UP7 protect users’ bodies
A．By making calls to users.
B．By stopping users from sitting for too long.
C．By moving the chair to relax users’ bodies.
D．By lifting the desk to stop users from working.
28．What does the underlined word “adjust” in Paragraph 3 probably mean
A．Miss. B．Change. C．Depend. D．Repair.
29．Why is N10 better than a paper notebook
A．Because N10 has a big screen.
B．Because N10 can provide light for people to read.
C．Because N10 can read and write on its own.
D．Because N10 can easily organize, search and save notes.
30．In which part of a newspaper may the passage come from
A．Popular Science. B．Social Behavior. C．Weather Conditions. D．Famous Inventors.

However, some people still believe that we learn better from reading paper books. 35 If we’re trying to learn while doing two things, we’re not going to learn as well.

B．Audiobooks have become quite popular these days.
C．Young people are more likely to choose audiobooks than the old.
D．However, you can listen to audiobooks anytime and anywhere you like.
