The world's first restaurant operated by robots has attracted plenty of diners after it officially started service in Zhujiang New Town in this Guangdong provincial capital on Monday. The restaurant, which only serves Guangdong Shunde cuisine, allows robots to cook, deliver food, place orders for diners and handle most of the work in the restaurant.
“The robot chefs can actually compete with famous chefs from Shunde, which is known for its delicious dishes at home and abroad,” said a diner surnamed Chen. Chen and his friends praised the delicious food cooked by the robots after they tasted fried vegetables, steamed fish and braised pigeon in the restaurant on Monday. A local Shunde cuisine chef surnamed Ma Huiliang said he gave the fried vegetables cooked by the robot 90 out of 100 points. But Ma said he never worries that robots would replace chefs in the future. “On the contrary, it is a liberating opportunity for chefs when robots can cook,” he said. “Chefs can focus their work on innovation and research for new food to better inherit and develop Chinese cuisine when robots can cook.” Ma added.
Qiu Mi, assistant president of Country Garden Group, which runs the restaurant, said the restaurant now has 46 different kinds of robots that can do almost all the work of the restaurant, including welcoming clients, frying dishes, mixing wines, making dessert, cooking rice, operating a cloud rail system and delivering food.
And all the diners can see how their food is being cooked by robots in the kitchen, which is separated by transparent glass walls from the dining hall, Qiu said. The restaurant combines new and high technology with traditional Chinese cuisine, Qiu added.

Protect the night sky
As a nature photographer, stars have always been one of my favourite elements in the photos. They offer an connection to a universe that is mysterious and grand, connecting our earthly lives to the heavens. Since the earliest recorded history, the night sky has sparked our imaginations and become deeply rooted in our cultures, traditions, artwork, and in later years, has inspired the development of technology with the hope of reaching beyond our blue planet.
With the development of the industrial (工业的) world, though, we have begun to lose the clarity (清晰) that thousands of generations of people and wildlife before us have enjoyed. Because of excesssive (过度) use of lighting, stars have become fainter (模糊的). For photographers hoping to capture the magic of the night sky, they must seek new places. Dark places are far from the reach of a city, and those place are becoming harder and harder to find.
Thanks to conservation groups led by the International Dark-Sky Association (IDA), we have an opportunity to improve our night skies and recapture ancient magic. By holding the International Dark-Sky week, a yearly celebration of the night sky, the IDA is helping cities, communities and families do their part in helping make skies darker. Dark skies benefit more than just nature photographers; they are important to many wildlife species that also depend on them.
Here are some simple steps we all can do that are easy and inexpensive:
* Change your light bulbs to a dark-sky-friendly color, the closer the light is similar to “firelight” and the further it is away from a blue or white color, the better it is for the environment.
* Use a light fixture that channels the light down and instead of wide and open.
* Turn your lights off before bed!
12. Why does the author prefer photographing stars so much
A. They inspire the author to learn cultures and art.
B. They are often paid little attention to by most people.
C. They are hardly seen due to the industrial development.
D. They build a close relation between universe and humans.
13. How can photographers get a satisfying photo of the night sky
A. By looking for places without light.
B. By turning to government for help
C. By avoiding using any light bulbs.
D. By promoting industrial development
14. What can we infer from passage
A. Blue and white are the dark-sky-friendly colors.
B. Many species of wildlife depend on dark skies.
C. Little efforts are needed to protect the night sky.
D. Joint efforts are needed to regain the darker sky.
15. What is the author's writing purpose
A. To highlight the value of protecting the night sky.
B. To inform people of the current situation of night sky.
C. To call on people to take action to protect the night sky
D. To show author's great concern for the use of lighting

As a hectare of mangrove forests (红树林) can absorb as much carbon as four hectares of rainforests, they ____36____ (regard) as the most efficient “sponges” (海绵) for carbon on the planet since last century. But cutting down mangrove forests prevents some areas from absorbing carbon, and it also ____37____ (release) carbon remaining in the soils.
In 2013, the Mikoko Pamoja carbon project began to conserve and protect 117 hectares of mangrove forest around the village Gazi, Kenya. It was the first project to turn blue carbon, ____38____ (store) in mangroves, into an economically workable programme. The project also has ____39____ (effective) reduced environmental crimes such as illegal logging and poaching (偷猎). “Joblessness is the reason why the youth usually engage ____40____ poaching and illegal logging in Kenya,” says Samuel Mutisya, a previous poacher. “If carbon projects can create jobs for people in the village, then the society will start seeing forests and wildlife as ____41____ (they) banks.”
The local fisherman Abdallah Mohamed, ____42____ is not involved in the project, has also noticed ____43____ (benefit). “The fish returned after the community stopped taking firewood from the mangroves. Our indigenous trees are aslo coming to life because there are ____44____ (few) disturbances,” he says. “This project is really of great ____45____ (significant).”
【答案】36. have been regarded
37. releases
38. stored 39. effectively
40. in 41. their
42. who 43. benefits
44. fewer 45. significance
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了红树林因高效吸碳被视为地球最佳碳海绵，但其遭砍伐影响碳吸收并释放土壤碳。Mikoko Pamoja项目在肯尼亚保护红树林，成功转化蓝碳为经济项目，有效减少非法伐木和偷猎，创造就业，提升环保意识，改善生态，获广泛认可。
【36题详解】
考查时态语态和主谓一致。句意：由于一公顷红树林能吸收相当于四公顷雨林吸收的碳，自上个世纪以来，红树林就被视为地球上最有效的碳“海绵”。根据时间状语since last century可知，句子应用现在完成时，动词regard与主语they构成逻辑上的被动关系，故用被动语态，they作主语，助动词用have。故填have been regarded。
【37题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意：但是，砍伐红树林不仅阻止了某些地区的碳吸收，还释放了土壤中残留的碳。描述事物的一般情况，句子应用一般现在时，it作主语，谓语应用第三人称单数形式。故填releases。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语。句意：该项目是第一个将存储在红树林中的蓝色碳转化为经济可行计划的项目。空处在句中作后置定语，动词store与被修饰词blue carbon构成逻辑上的被动关系，故用过去分词的形式。故填stored。
【39题详解】
考查副词。句意：该项目还有效地减少了非法采伐和偷猎等环境犯罪行为。空处应用副词作状语修饰动词reduced。故填effectively。
【40题详解】
考查介词。句意：“失业是肯尼亚年轻人通常从事偷猎和非法伐木的原因，”萨缪尔·穆蒂萨说，他曾是一名偷猎者。engage in“参与，参加，从事”为固定搭配。故填in。
【41题详解】
考查代词。句意：如果碳项目能为村里的人创造就业机会，那么社会就会开始将森林和野生动物视为他们的银行。空处应填形容词性物主代词在句中作定语。故填their。
【42题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：未参与该项目的当地渔民Abdallah Mohamed也注意到了好处。空处引导非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词The local fisherman Abdallah Mohamed，先行词为人，并在从句中作主语，故用关系代词who。故填who。
【43题详解】
考查名词。句意：未参与该项目的当地渔民Abdallah Mohamed也注意到了好处。该项目的好处不止一个，故应用可数名词benefit“好处”的复数形式。故填benefits。
【44题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意：“我们的原生树木也在恢复生机，因为干扰减少了，”他说。根据语意可知，空处应填形容词的比较级形式，表示“更少的”，在句中作定语。故填fewer。
【45题详解】
考查名词。句意：这个项目确实具有重大意义。介词of后应用名词作宾语，of great significance“具有重要意义”。故填significance。

47. 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。
A store owner was tacking a sign above his door that read “Puppies For Sale”. Signs like that have a way of attracting small children, and sure enough, a little boy appeared under the store owner’s sign. “How much are you going to sell the puppies for ” he asked. The store owner replied, “From $30 to $50.” The little boy reached in his pocket and pulled out some change. “I only have $2.37,” he said. “Can I look at them ”
The store owner smiled and whistled. Out of the kennel (狗窝) came a female dog, who ran out of his store, followed by five tiny balls of fur. One puppy was left behind, moving slowly. Immediately, the little boy found out the slowly limping (跛行的) puppy and said, “What’s wrong with that little dog ”
The store owner explained that the vet (兽医) had examined the little puppy and found that he didn’t have a hip socket (髋臼). He would always limp. The little boy became excited. “That is the little puppy that I want to buy.”
The store owner said, “No, you don’t need to buy that little dog. If you really want him, I will just give him to you.”
The little boy got quite upset. He looked straight into the store owner’s eyes, pointing his finger and said, “I don’t want you to give him to me. That little dog is worth every bit as much as all the other dogs and I will pay full price. I can give you $2.37 now, and then fifty cents a month until I have paid for him.”
The store owner countered, “You really don’t need to buy this little dog. He is never going to be able to run, jump and play with you like the other puppies.”

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】参考范文：
The little boy stood his ground, determined to pay for the limping puppy. He looked at the store owner with unwavering confidence and replied, “Sir, I understand that this puppy may not be able to run and play like the others. He may not be perfect, but that doesn’t make him any less deserving of a loving home. Moved by the boy’s determination and compassion, the store owner softened his stance. With a smile, he nodded and said, “You’re right. Every creature deserves a chance to be loved. I will gladly sell him to you.”
Overjoyed, the little boy handed over his $2.37 to the store owner. From that moment on, he became the proud owner of the limping puppy. With great enthusiasm, he named him Buddy, symbolizing the companionship they would share. True to his word, the little boy faithfully returned to the store each month to pay his fifty cents, determined to fulfill his promise of full payment. As time went by, Buddy proved to be an extraordinary companion, despite his physical limitations. His playful spirit shone through, and he found unique ways to enjoy life with his devoted owner.

The world's first restaurant operated by robots has attracted plenty of diners after it officially started service in Zhujiang New Town in this Guangdong provincial capital on Monday. The restaurant, which only serves Guangdong Shunde cuisine, allows robots to cook, deliver food, place orders for diners and handle most of the work in the restaurant.
“The robot chefs can actually compete with famous chefs from Shunde, which is known for its delicious dishes at home and abroad,” said a diner surnamed Chen. Chen and his friends praised the delicious food cooked by the robots after they tasted fried vegetables, steamed fish and braised pigeon in the restaurant on Monday. A local Shunde cuisine chef surnamed Ma Huiliang said he gave the fried vegetables cooked by the robot 90 out of 100 points. But Ma said he never worries that robots would replace chefs in the future. “On the contrary, it is a liberating opportunity for chefs when robots can cook,” he said. “Chefs can focus their work on innovation and research for new food to better inherit and develop Chinese cuisine when robots can cook.” Ma added.
Qiu Mi, assistant president of Country Garden Group, which runs the restaurant, said the restaurant now has 46 different kinds of robots that can do almost all the work of the restaurant, including welcoming clients, frying dishes, mixing wines, making dessert, cooking rice, operating a cloud rail system and delivering food.
And all the diners can see how their food is being cooked by robots in the kitchen, which is separated by transparent glass walls from the dining hall, Qiu said. The restaurant combines new and high technology with traditional Chinese cuisine, Qiu added.

Protect the night sky
As a nature photographer, stars have always been one of my favourite elements in the photos. They offer an connection to a universe that is mysterious and grand, connecting our earthly lives to the heavens. Since the earliest recorded history, the night sky has sparked our imaginations and become deeply rooted in our cultures, traditions, artwork, and in later years, has inspired the development of technology with the hope of reaching beyond our blue planet.
With the development of the industrial (工业的) world, though, we have begun to lose the clarity (清晰) that thousands of generations of people and wildlife before us have enjoyed. Because of excesssive (过度) use of lighting, stars have become fainter (模糊的). For photographers hoping to capture the magic of the night sky, they must seek new places. Dark places are far from the reach of a city, and those place are becoming harder and harder to find.
Thanks to conservation groups, led by the International Dark-Sky Association (IDA), we have an opportunity to improve our night skies and recapture ancient magic. By holding the International Dark-Sky week, a yearly celebration of the night sky, the IDA is helping cities, communities and families do their part in helping make skies darker. Dark skies benefit more than just nature photographers; they are important to many wildlife species that also depend on them.
Here are some simple steps we all can do that are easy and inexpensive:
* Change your light bulbs to a dark-sky-friendly color, the closer the light is similar to “firelight” and the further it is away from a blue or white color, the better it is for the environment.
* Use a light fixture that channels the light down and instead of wide and open.
* Turn your lights off before bed!
12. Why does the author prefer photographing stars so much
A. They inspire the author to learn cultures and art.
B. They are often paid little attention to by most people.
C. They are hardly seen due to the industrial development.
D. They build a close relation between universe and humans.
13 How can photographers get a satisfying photo of the night sky
A. By looking for places without light.
B. By turning to government for help
C. By avoiding using any light bulbs.
D. By promoting industrial development
14. What can we infer from passage
A. Blue and white are the dark-sky-friendly colors.
B. Many species of wildlife depend on dark skies.
C. Little efforts are needed to protect the night sky.
D. Joint efforts are needed to regain the darker sky.
15. What is the author's writing purpose
A. To highlight the value of protecting the night sky.
B. To inform people of the current situation of night sky.
C. To call on people to take action to protect the night sky
D. To show author's great concern for the use of lighting

47. 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。
A store owner was tacking a sign above his door that read “Puppies For Sale”. Signs like that have a way of attracting small children, and sure enough, a little boy appeared under the store owner’s sign. “How much are you going to sell the puppies for ” he asked. The store owner replied, “From $30 to $50.” The little boy reached in his pocket and pulled out some change. “I only have $2.37,” he said. “Can I look at them ”
The store owner smiled and whistled. Out of the kennel (狗窝) came a female dog, who ran out of his store, followed by five tiny balls of fur. One puppy was left behind, moving slowly. Immediately, the little boy found out the slowly limping (跛行的) puppy and said, “What’s wrong with that little dog ”
The store owner explained that the vet (兽医) had examined the little puppy and found that he didn’t have a hip socket (髋臼). He would always limp. The little boy became excited. “That is the little puppy that I want to buy.”
The store owner said, “No, you don’t need to buy that little dog. If you really want him, I will just give him to you.”
The little boy got quite upset. He looked straight into the store owner’s eyes, pointing his finger and said, “I don’t want you to give him to me. That little dog is worth every bit as much as all the other dogs and I will pay full price. I can give you $2.37 now, and then fifty cents a month until I have paid for him.”
The store owner countered, “You really don’t need to buy this little dog. He is never going to be able to run, jump and play with you like the other puppies.”
