When Lily still lived at home, every year when her birthday approached, we would start the grand preparations days in advance. And after she left for college, my wife would call her countless times from morning till night.

In today’s world, robots serve people as first-responders, companions and problem-solvers. And you find them in various places from the operating table to the kitchen and classrooms. Advances in artificial intelligence allow robots to perfect important functions beyond human capabilities.
As the older population desires to stay in their homes, effectively designed robots are needed to help make this demand a safer and more sustainable(可持续的)option. Another change in health care is that robots have already been used in over 20,000 operations. Surgical(外科的)robots like the da Vinci Surgical Systems are great examples of cutting-edge robotic technology. Besides, instead of going to a brick building to see a physician, patients will be checked by robots.
At home, household robots can help people save time. You can schedule a warm meal to be ready when you return from work. Robotic cookers can steam, fry, slow, cook and bake as long as you set them up. These robots are likely to develop into more advanced versions in the upcoming years and could change the look and feel of our homes.
As we know, a single teacher doesn’t have the ability to meet the needs of personalized learning for every student in a classroom. This is where computer-based learning comes into play; it doesn’t replace the teacher but allows students to learn at their own pace. Robots will continue to boost personalized learning. The human-like robot NAO works to form bonds with students and comes with senses of natural interaction, from listening, speaking, moving and connecting with students.
Today, robots of all types are being designed to reduce workload, complement human skill sets and enable professionals to focus on more important activities. Robots are meant to make human life easier and offer a more comfortable future. As technology advances and becomes more affordable, it is expected to see more changes and more industries embracing robots and all they can do to boost our standard of Living.
28．What do we know about surgical robots
A．They are to be put into use soon.
B．They can fully replace physicians.
C．They play an important role in health care.
D．They are more popular than the other robots.
29．What is the main function of the robot NAO
A．Performing operations. B．Promoting personalized learning.
C．Monitoring patients. D．Making meals.
30．How is the text organized
A． B．
C． D．
31．What is the text mainly about
A．Robots are vital in health care. B．More robots are needed to develop.
C．Robots are changing the world. D．Robots will help fight against pandemic.

After years of efforts, China’s space station has been fully operational.

The International Space Station has conducted over 3,000 experiments during its time in service, and the Chinese space station won’t waste a minute in this regard. As the only space station after the ISS is retired, it will continue to expand human’s understanding of space. That is worth looking forward to.

第二节（满分25分）
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。
When I was ten years old，I lived with my family in a small house in rural South Jersey.I often accompanied my mother to the A&P to buy groceries.Without a car，we walked，and I would help her carry the bags.
My mother had to shop very carefully，as she was a waitress，and her salary barely sustained (勉强维持) us.One day，while she was weighing prices，a promotional display for the World Book Encyclopedia caught my eye.The volumes were beautifully cream-colored.Volume Ⅰ was ninety-nine cents with a ten-dollar purchase.
All I could think of while shopping was the book.I stood at the register (收银台) with my mother，holding my breath as the cashier rang up the items.It came to over eleven dollars.My mother produced a five，some singles，and a handful of change.As she was counting out the money，I somehow found the courage to ask for the encyclopedia (百科全书).“Could we get one？” I said，showing her the display.“It’s only ninety-nine cents.”
I did not understand my mother’s increasing anxiety；she did not have enough change and had to sacrifice a large can of peas to pay the amount，“Not now，Patricia，” she said sternly.“Today is not a good day.” I packed the groceries and followed her home，upset.
The next Saturday，my mother gave me a dollar and sent me to the A&P alone.Two quarts of milk and a loaf of bread — that’s what a dollar bought in 1957.I went straight to the World Book display.There was only one first volume left，which I placed in my cart (购物车).I didn’t need a cart，but took one so I could read as I went up and down the aisles.A lot of time went by and I knew I had to leave，but I couldn’t bear to part with the book.With no detective in sight，I，impulsively (冲动地)，put it inside my shirt and zipped up my jacket.I was a tall，skinny kid，and I am certain the shape of the book was obvious.
注意：续写词数应为150左右。
My heart beating rapidly，I headed for the register.
Back home，I told my mother what I had promised the detective.

【参考范文】
My heart beating rapidly，I headed for the register. I paid the dollar for the three items and was about to leave when I felt a heavy tap on my shoulder.It was a big detective.“You stole something.You will be searched，” he announced.Horrified，I slid the book out from inside the shirt and handed it over.“An encyclopedia？” he asked，somewhat surprised.“Yes，” I whispered，trembling.“Why didn’t you ask your parents to purchase it？” “I did，but they didn’t have the money.” With a sigh，he made me promise to tell my parents about my wrongdoing and then let me leave.
Back home,I told my mother what I had promised the detective. Unexpectedly，she didn’t explode as usual.She fell silent，looking extremely anxious.Consumed with guilt，I gathered my courage，apologized and promised that it would never ever happen again.“All will be OK！” said my mother，wrapping me in her arms.Then she told me that she would go to the A&P to tell the detective I had admitted and that I should play outside.Hours later，when I was back home，I noticed a bag with my name on it.I opened it and packed inside was the World Book Encyclopedia，volume Ⅰ.
