The endangered pandas in Qinling Mountains might face a new threat: the loss of their food — bamboo, which makes up 99% of their meals.
Adult pandas spend most part of the day eating bamboo and have to take in at least 40 pounds a day to stay healthy. However, a new study published in Nature and Climate Change warned that they may soon find their food gone because most of the bamboo in Qinling Mountains might disappear by the end of the century as a result of rising temperature worldwide.
A team made up of researchers from Michigan State University and the Chinese Academy of Sciences has studied the effects of climate change on the bamboo in Qinling Mountains. They have found that bamboo is very sensitive to climate changes.
“80% to 100% of the bamboo would be gone if the average temperature increases 3.5 degrees worldwide by the end of the century,” said Liu Jianguo, one of the report’ s authors. He added, “This is how much the temperature would rise by 2100 even if all countries will keep their promises in the Paris Agreement. But you know what is happening around the world.”
In recent years, China has been trying its best to protect the endangered pandas by setting up more and bigger natural reserves.“But it is far from being enough and the endangered pandas need cooperation from the rest of the world, because their future is not just in the hands of the Chinese,”said Shirley Martin from World Wildlife Fund but not a member of the team.
The Qinling Mountains, in the southwest of China, are home to about 260 pandas. That is about 13% of the China's wild panda population. In addition, about 375 are living in research centers and zoos in China.
8. What is the information conveyed in paragraph 1
A. Pandas have already eaten 99% of the bamboo in Qinling Mountains.
B. Pandas in Qinling Mountains are threatened by the loss of food.
C. 99% of the bamboo in Qinling Mountains will possibly disappear.
D. People cannot provide enough food for the pandas..
9. What’ might be the main cause of food loss of Pandas
A. Global warming. B. Human activity.
C. Diverse disasters. D. Disappearance of forest.
10. What does Liu Jianguo mean
A. Bamboo is sensitive to the change of temperature.
B. All countries will keep promise in Paris Agreement.
C. It is difficult to control the temperature rise within 3.5 degrees.
D. China needs more help from World wildlife Fund.
11. What is the main purpose of the passage
A. To show readers efforts that have been made to save pandas.
B. To show readers the necessity to change pandas’ food.
C. To show readers a new threat that Pandas face.
D. To show the reasons why bamboos disappears.
D
If you’re homeless and looking for a temporary shelter in Hawaii’s capital, expect a visit from a robotic police dog that will scan your eyes to make sure you don’t have a fever. That’s just one of the ways public safety agencies are starting to use Spot, a new robot that runs around with quick movement.
The police officials experimenting with the four-legged machines say they’re just another tool to keep emergency responders out of harm as they search for dangers.
Joseph O’Neal, an officer of the Honolulu Police Department, said the robot has protected officers, shelter staff and residents by scanning body temperatures between mealtimes at a shelter where homeless people could quarantine (隔离) and get tested for COVID-19. The robot is also used to remotely interview individuals who have tested positive.
The company that makes the robots, Boston Dynamics, says it’s trying to do a good job of explaining to the public and its customers what Spot can and cannot do. “One of the most difficult tasks is accurately explaining the technology to people who have never had personal experience with it,” said Michael Perry, vice president of the company.
There are roughly 500 Spot robots now in the wild. Perry said they’re commonly used by companies to check dangerous areas. Spot is also used to monitor construction sites, mines and factories, equipped with whatever sensor is needed for the job.
It’s still mostly controlled by humans though all they have to do is tell it which direction to go. It can also work autonomously, but only if it has already memorized a road and there aren’t too many obstacles (障碍). “The first value that most people see in the robot is taking a person out of a dangerous situation,” Perry said.
12 What do police officials use Spot robots to do
A. Treat patients’ fever.
B. Find out patients’ eye problems.
C. Protect homeless people.
D. Take people’s body temperature.
13. What’s the main idea of paragraph 3
A. The shelter where people get tested.
B. The function of the robotic police dog.
C. The future development of the robots.
D. The characteristic of the four-legged machine.
14. What’s the company’s big challenge
A. How to describe the technology.
B. How to win its customers’ trust.
C. How to promote Spot robots.
D. How to produce more Spot robots.
15. What is the best title of this passage
A. Robot, the future of human beings.
B. Policedogs, the best friends of us.
C. Spot, a great emergency helper.
D. Advanced technology, a new way to live.

47. On a freezing morning of December, two police officers were patrolling（巡逻） the streets. Suddenly, the walkie-talkie (对讲机) on Alan, one of the officers, rang. “The cake shop near the City Museum has reported a burglary (窃案). Please rush to the scene immediately”, said the electronic voice.
The two policemen quickly arrived at the shop, only to find that the scene showed no sign of crimes at all. Curiously, they checked the monitor (监控器) and found that a thin woman broke open the window and climbed into the store at 5:20 a.m. Instead of searching around, she walked straight into the storage room, stole cheese, chocolate, butter and other ingredients for a cake, and then ran away down the road.
Both policemen felt quite confused about her behavior. One of the shop assistants identified the thief as Clara, a single mother who lived nearby. She had an eight-year-old boy to take care of and lived in poverty.
Moments later, the two officers arrived at Clara’s house. Bob, the other officer, pulled out a gun and was about to break in. But Alan told him to put the gun away and knocked gently.
The door opened and out came a very thin woman. From the outline of her figure, Alan recognized that she was exactly the thief. The woman, Clara, immediately understood the situation when she saw the two policemen. She buried her face in her hands and sat down on the floor.
At that very moment, a child’s voice broke the silence, “Mom, is anyone coming for my birthday Invite them in, please.”
After hearing the boy’s words, Clara stood up and begged in a low voice, “Officer, I did steal those things, but there’s nothing else I could do. It’s my baby’s birthday, and I’ve got neither job nor money. Please don’t take those things away. I’ve just used them to make him a cake.”
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Para1:
Looking into the woman’s teary eyes, Alan understood and walked into the house.

The endangered pandas in Qinling Mountains might face a new threat: the loss of their food — bamboo, which makes up 99% of their meals.
Adult pandas spend most part of the day eating bamboo and have to take in at least 40 pounds a day to stay healthy. However, a new study published in Nature and Climate Change warned that they may soon find their food gone because most of the bamboo in Qinling Mountains might disappear by the end of the century as a result of rising temperature worldwide.
A team made up of researchers from Michigan State University and the Chinese Academy of Sciences has studied the effects of climate change on the bamboo in Qinling Mountains. They have found that bamboo is very sensitive to climate changes.
“80% to 100% of the bamboo would be gone if the average temperature increases 3.5 degrees worldwide by the end of the century,” said Liu Jianguo, one of the report’ s authors. He added, “This is how much the temperature would rise by 2100 even if all countries will keep their promises in the Paris Agreement. But you know what is happening around the world.”
In recent years, China has been trying its best to protect the endangered pandas by setting up more and bigger natural reserves.“But it is far from being enough and the endangered pandas need cooperation from the rest of the world, because their future is not just in the hands of the Chinese,”said Shirley Martin from World Wildlife Fund but not a member of the team.
The Qinling Mountains, in the southwest of China, are home to about 260 pandas. That is about 13% of the China's wild panda population. In addition, about 375 are living in research centers and zoos in China.
8. What is the information conveyed in paragraph 1
A. Pandas have already eaten 99% of the bamboo in Qinling Mountains.
B. Pandas in Qinling Mountains are threatened by the loss of food.
C. 99% of the bamboo in Qinling Mountains will possibly disappear.
D. People cannot provide enough food for the pandas..
9. What’ might be the main cause of food loss of Pandas
A. Global warming. B. Human activity.
C. Diverse disasters. D. Disappearance of forest.
10. What does Liu Jianguo mean
A. Bamboo is sensitive to the change of temperature.
B. All countries will keep promise in Paris Agreement.
C. It is difficult to control the temperature rise within 3.5 degrees.
D. China needs more help from World wildlife Fund.
11. What is the main purpose of the passage
A. To show readers efforts that have been made to save pandas.
B. To show readers the necessity to change pandas’ food.
C. To show readers a new threat that Pandas face.
D. To show the reasons why bamboos disappears.

If you’re homeless and looking for a temporary shelter in Hawaii’s capital, expect a visit from a robotic police dog that will scan your eyes to make sure you don’t have a fever. That’s just one of the ways public safety agencies are starting to use Spot, a new robot that runs around with quick movement.
The police officials experimenting with the four-legged machines say they’re just another tool to keep emergency responders out of harm as they search for dangers.
Joseph O’Neal, an officer of the Honolulu Police Department, said the robot has protected officers, shelter staff and residents by scanning body temperatures between mealtimes at a shelter where homeless people could quarantine (隔离) and get tested for COVID-19. The robot is also used to remotely interview individuals who have tested positive.
The company that makes the robots, Boston Dynamics, says it’s trying to do a good job of explaining to the public and its customers what Spot can and cannot do. “One of the most difficult tasks is accurately explaining the technology to people who have never had personal experience with it,” said Michael Perry, vice president of the company.
There are roughly 500 Spot robots now in the wild. Perry said they’re commonly used by companies to check dangerous areas. Spot is also used to monitor construction sites, mines and factories, equipped with whatever sensor is needed for the job.
It’s still mostly controlled by humans though all they have to do is tell it which direction to go. It can also work autonomously, but only if it has already memorized a road and there aren’t too many obstacles (障碍). “The first value that most people see in the robot is taking a person out of a dangerous situation,” Perry said.
12 What do police officials use Spot robots to do
A. Treat patients’ fever.
B. Find out patients’ eye problems.
C. Protect homeless people.
D. Take people’s body temperature.
13. What’s the main idea of paragraph 3
A. The shelter where people get tested.
B. The function of the robotic police dog.
C. The future development of the robots.
D. The characteristic of the four-legged machine.
14. What’s the company’s big challenge
A. How to describe the technology.
B. How to win its customers’ trust.
C. How to promote Spot robots.
D. How to produce more Spot robots.
15. What is the best title of this passage
A. Robot, the future of human beings.
B. Policedogs, the best friends of us.
C. Spot, a great emergency helper.
D. Advanced technology, a new way to live.

47. On a freezing morning of December, two police officers were patrolling（巡逻） the streets. Suddenly, the walkie-talkie (对讲机) on Alan, one of the officers, rang. “The cake shop near the City Museum has reported a burglary (窃案). Please rush to the scene immediately”, said the electronic voice.
The two policemen quickly arrived at the shop, only to find that the scene showed no sign of crimes at all. Curiously, they checked the monitor (监控器) and found that a thin woman broke open the window and climbed into the store at 5:20 a.m. Instead of searching around, she walked straight into the storage room, stole cheese, chocolate, butter and other ingredients for a cake, and then ran away down the road.
Both policemen felt quite confused about her behavior. One of the shop assistants identified the thief as Clara, a single mother who lived nearby. She had an eight-year-old boy to take care of and lived in poverty.
Moments later, the two officers arrived at Clara’s house. Bob, the other officer, pulled out a gun and was about to break in. But Alan told him to put the gun away and knocked gently.
The door opened and out came a very thin woman. From the outline of her figure, Alan recognized that she was exactly the thief. The woman, Clara, immediately understood the situation when she saw the two policemen. She buried her face in her hands and sat down on the floor.
At that very moment, a child’s voice broke the silence, “Mom, is anyone coming for my birthday Invite them in, please.”
After hearing the boy’s words, Clara stood up and begged in a low voice, “Officer, I did steal those things, but there’s nothing else I could do. It’s my baby’s birthday, and I’ve got neither job nor money. Please don’t take those things away. I’ve just used them to make him a cake.”
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Para1:
Looking into the woman’s teary eyes, Alan understood and walked into the house.

Bob nodded thoughtfully and asked, “What about the things she stole ”
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Looking into the woman’s teary eyes Alan understood and walked into the house. It was poorly lit, narrow and damp. An undernourished boy came into his eyes, beaming from ear to ear while working busily with flour at hand. He looked up and saw Alan, who immediately explained, “Hey, I am Alan. I come to say Happy Birthday to you as I am patrolling this neighborhood.” The boy exclaimed in delight, “Thank you, Sir.” Alan stepped out, handed Clara a twenty dollar bill, and smiled, “Would you help me buy a nice birthday gift to your son now since I am still on duty ” Then he stated to Bob they should not arrest Clara.
Bob nodded thoughtfully and asked, “What about the things she stole ” As Alan saw Clara’s bean-pole figure gone into the distance, he answered in a firm voice, “I will help cover the loss of the shop.” On hearing this, Bob felt embarrassed, twisting and rubbing his hands over and over again seemingly to get warm in this freezing December. Finally, he gathered his courage, “Buddy, I can also help. Let me pay for them as my Christmas gift to the mother and her child.” Staring into Bob’s eyes, Alan saw the genuine kindness glistening with little soft snowflakes falling down from the sky, white and pure.
