He was beyond doubt the youngest this year.”Tanishq said that he wasnt frightened by

12、the fact that his classmates were all twice his age, especially because he was well-received. “A lot were really happy that there was a kid in their class,” he said.

With the increase in high technology, robots are taking over boring or inconvenient work in many areas of life. One a

19、rea where robots are making an appearance is farming. There is a robotic revolution going on in the milking industry, and cows, as well as farmers are experiencing the benefits. The advantage for the cows is that they can choose when and how many times a day they want to be milked. On the other hand

20、. farmers no longer have to get up at 4 a. m. every day to go to the milking sheds and this makes a huge difference to their way of lifeIn traditional farming, cows are milked twice a day, in the morning and the evening, mainly because: this is the most convenient way for farmers to get two milking

21、sessions completed in one day. However, this is not necessarily the best way for each individual cow. Because the robots are programmed to milk the cows whenever they arrive, the cows can be milked once, twice or even four times a day. It is an entirely voluntary system for the cows. They decide. Fa

22、rmers report that midnight is a particularly busy time at the milking shed. The interesting thing is the cows like the system once they get used to it. Farmers report that milk production increases, the cows live longer and they seem far more relaxed. The computerized robotic system is entirely auto

23、matic. As the cows enter the facility, they are weighed, milked and productivity and health checks are carried out. The facility cleans itself at regular intervals(间隔)and if there is a problem, the robot sends the farmer a message. Equipping a farm with robots is not cheap. However, farmers who have

24、 installed the robotic milking sheds, say they would never go back to the old system.

27、 checks.D. The robotic system is so expensive that farmers will never install one.11. What would be the best title for the text?A. A robotic revolution in milkingB. Cows favourite helperC.

28、el surprised at the fact that strangers dont talk to each other in urban public places. They feel sorry about the way we seem to increasingly get lost in mobile devices, seemingly oblivious to whats going on around us. But sociologists recognize that the space we give each other in the urban places

29、serves an important social function. Well- known sociologist Erving Goffman developed the concept of “civil inattention” in his book Behavior in Public Places. Far from ignoring those around us, Goffman proved through years of studying people in public that what were actually doing is pretending to

30、be unaware of what others are doing around us, therefore providing them a sense of privacy, as they do the same for us. Goffman proved in his research that civil inattention typically involves at first a mirror form of social interaction, like very brief eye contact, the exchange of head nods, or we

31、ak smiles. Following that, both parties then typically shin their eyes from the other party. Goffman theorized that what we achieve, socially speaking, with this kind of interaction, is mutual (相互的) recognition that the other present causes no threat to our security, and we both agree, tacitly (默契地)

32、, to let the other alone to do as they please. When we provide civil inattention to others, we effectively approve their behavior. Sometimes, we use civil inattention to save face when weve done something we feel embarrassed by, or to help manage the embarrassment that another might feel if we witne

33、ss them trip, or drop something. Civil inattention is thus not a problem, but an important part of maintaining social order in public. For this reason, problems arise when this norm (规范) is broken. Because we expect it from others and see it as normal behavior, we may feel threatened by someone who

34、doesnt give it to us. This is why women feel threatened by those who catcall (发嘘声)to them, and why for some men, simply being stared at by another is enough to cause a physical fight.12. How does the author begin this text?A. By giving people a warning.B. By giving some peoples feelings.C. By explai

35、ning a way of socializing.D. By giving a problem with technology.13. What does the underlined phrase “oblivious to” in Paragraph 1 most probably mean?A. curious aboutB. unsure aboutC. tired ofD. unaware of14. What do we actually mean when we look away from a stranger, according to Goffman?A. We are

36、ignoring him on a rude basis.B. We are showing our respect for others privacy.C. We are protecting ourselves from physical attacks.D. We are worrying that we could lose belongings.15. What can be learned from the text about civil inattention?A. Civil inattention has positive effects on social intera

37、ction.B. Civil inattention helps save face when weve done something wrong.C. Civil inattention is unlinked to social interaction according to Goffman.D. Civil inattention is a type of normal behavior which we may feel threatened.第二节(共5小题;每小题2. 5分, 满分12. 5分)阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
