A
Food festivals are a common occurrence in the UK and take place in all sorts of places and at all sorts of times.
Are you a meat lover? Then why not try Meatopia? This three-day, London-based festival takes place at the end of August. In addition to a range of racially sourced meat products, from juicy burgers to tasty steaks, attendees can listen to live music, watch butchery demos, and attend informal meat-based workshops.
If you prefer a festival that will help you avoid any kind of meat or fish, then Vegfest is for you. This vegan-friendly event takes place in a range of UK places several times a year. Here you can enjoy a wide selection of freshly prepared vegan food, learn cooking tips and hear talks on nutrition to help you make the most of your plant-based food.
If you have a sweet tooth, then it could be that the National Honey Show, which started in 1921 and is the largest event of its kind, is the place for you to be. This three-day event attracts over 2, 000 entrants to their traditional competition, and offers lectures and workshops on beekeeping and, of course, honey.
If that didn’t suit you, what about a festival that is dedicated merely to strawberry? Strawberry, a festival of preserves, has been running for a decade. It includes a competition to find the best
18
homemade strawberry sauce.
If you’d prefer something with a little more kick to it, then you could attend The Ginger and Spice Festival held in Market Drayton. It celebrates its town’s historic connection to Robert Clive, who returned from India with ginger.
While there’s no accounting for taste, the UK has something to offer most people. From large-scale festivities, to the smaller more amateur gatherings, one thing is certain: people are crazy about their food.
21. What does Meatopia aim to offer?
A. Various local specialties. B. Meat-related activities.
C. Just meat-based products. D. Lessons on healthy diets.
22. Which of the following is intended for people who favor sugar?
A. Vegfest. B. The National Honey Show.
C. Strawberry. D. The Ginger and Spice Festival.
23. What do all the festivals have in common?
A. They are popular with some people. B. They last for no more than three days
C. They have gained global recognition. D. They have promoted the local tourism.

From his home in Troy, Kansas, Dennis Ruhnke watched images of New York hospitals crowded with coronavirus patients, and knew he had to do something to help with the epidemic. A retired farmer, Ruhnke had an unused N95 face mask, which he sent to New York Governor Andrew Cuomo along with a note asking Cuomo to please pass the mask to a doctor or nurse. “I think a medical worker deserves it more than I,” said Dennis. He never expected Cuomo to even read the letter, let alone share it during one of his daily news conference.
His act of kindness inspired local officials and a neighbor to try to realize one of Ruhnke’s dreams: receiving his college diploma. In 1971, Ruhnke was just two credits shy of earning his degree in agriculture from Kansas State University when he had to drop out. His father had died, and he needed to look after his mother and take over the family farm. Ruhnke always thought about
18
going back, but by the time he approached the school, he was told that his credits were no longer valid, and he would have had to start over. He has ever since felt regretful as he was once so close to becoming the first one with a college degree in the family.
Kansas governor Laura Kelly and Kansas State President Richard Myers found a way to get around that, awarding Ruhnke with his degree on Tuesday. “Dennis is a Kansas agriculturist in every sense of the word, and today, we’re simply giving him the paperwork to make it official,” Kelly said. Ruhnke told The Mercury that people have been asking him how they can help, and he tells them to "just pay it forward as much as you can afford to do so" in honor of first responders and those who have died of COVID-19.
24. What did Dennis do to help with the epidemic?
A. He gave his face mask away. B. He praised the medical workers.
C. He wrote a letter to the president. D. He posted a mask on the Internet.
25. Why did Dennis fail to get his diploma?
A. His family business suddenly broke down.
B. He had to drop out to support his family.
C. His performance was far from satisfactory.
D. He was too shy to handle the matter with school.
26. Which of the following words can best describe Dennis?
A. Daring. B. Tolerant. C. Ambitious. D. Selfless.
27. What is the best title for the text?
A. Donation always makes a difference B. A generous degree awarding scene
C. Kindness harvests a college diploma D. An old dog can also learn new tricks
C
If you’ve ever passed the cockpit(驾驶舱)while boarding a flight and tried to pick up bits from your pilots’ conversation, you probably didn’t understand much of them. Do they want to keep something in the dark? For terms like "niner" to "Zulu", pilot-speak may sound like all Greek to you. But in this way, what happens to pilots can be expressed clearly and briefly. That’s why it is
18
well-recognized in this industry.
Pan-pan. Airline passengers likely won’t ever hear their pilot use this term, which is reserved for communication with air traffic controllers. When pilots notice something unusual with their aircraft that stops short of an immediate emergency, they use "pan-pan". For example, if one of a multi-engine aircraft’s engine has failed, pilots might say "pan-pan" to get controllers’ attention and request an emergency landing.
George is flying the plane now. There is a "George" on nearly every commercial aircraft. Pilots often allocate George to command the plane when it reaches cruising(巡航)altitude or when they've flown for more than 10 hours, when they’re required to rest according to rules for two-pilot planes.
We’re flying through an air pocket. "Air pocket" is a more acceptable expression for the word "turbulence", a sudden and violent changes in the direction that air is moving in. This term might ease the sudden and strong impact on ears and causes less panic among passengers in an emergency.
There are 155 souls on board. The number of "souls" on an aircraft refers to the total living bodies on the plane, including every passenger, pilot, flight attendant and crew member. Pilots report the number of "souls" only when declaring an emergency to avoid confusion between the number of passengers and the number of the crew.
"A lot of the ways we say things to be meaningful to other pilots is kind of monkey-see, monkey-do," says Ferdi Mack, senior manager at the Pilot Information Center. "But the most important part of the challenge is that a smooth flight can be thus ensured."
28. Why do pilots prefer to use pilot-speak?
A. It is a good way to keep talks secret. B. Short terms are much easier to understand.
C. It makes for clear and brief communication. D. Pilot-speak helps promote Greek language.
29. What can we know from Paragraph 2?
A. Passengers expect the pilots to use Pan-pan often.
B. Pan-pan only takes place between the two pilots.
18
C. Pan-pan serves as a signal of urgency and attention.
D. Ground controllers use Pan-pan for a crash landing.
30. What can be inferred from the text?
A. Every plane employs a George on board.
B. Air pocket is only used for an emergency landing.
C. The term "souls" is frequently used during the flight.
D. Pilot-speak can be pleasant to the ear and cause less panic.
31. How does Ferdi feel about pilot-speak?
A. Doubtful. B. Ridiculous. C. Objective. D. Favorable.
D
If you’re in a job performing dull tasks, you might think that a robot could do the work instead. But perhaps we underestimate(低估)how much technology already helps with the activities that we would otherwise have to do. And as artificial intelligence progresses, we might find it replaces us in the workplace altogether.
For now, robotic technology is providing a helping hand for businesses, particularly in manufacturing(制造业), assisting humans in performing work more efficiently and sometimes more accurately. For online shopping, for example, robots have become vital in giant warehouses. They sort and move millions of objects of all different shapes and sizes, although humans are still needed to pick and distribute the goods.
The advancement of robotics in the workplace is good for some businesses; the ones who research, develop, build and use them. The British government estimates that by 2035, artificial intelligence could add around £ 630bn to the UK economy. But there are still tasks that robots can’t yet do, and that’s the challenge for companies such as Automata. Its co-founder, Suryansh Chandra, told the BBC that his technology will do its best to eliminate boring, repetitive jobs that humans don’t like and aren’t very good at, and also create new ones that are likely to replace them.
It seems certain that robots will eventually be able to do more and more of the jobs that are currently performed by humans, so should we be worried by the rise of the machines? Some
18
experts fear hundreds of thousands of jobs could disappear as robots replace human workers. A recent report suggests that 14 percent of jobs are "at high risk of automation" and 32 percent of jobs could be "basically transformed", with the manufacturing sector at the highest risk.
But as complete automation is some way off, for now we’11 have to work side-by-side with our robot colleagues——and manage to go hand in hand with them before they learn to kick us out of the door!
32. The second paragraph is mainly written to .
A. show how robots can help humans B. name industries suitable for robots
C. explain why robots can replace humans D. explore potential profits that robots can make
33. What does the underline phrase "eliminate" refer to?
A. Remove. B. Secure. C. Rediscover. D. Create.
34. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. Possible risks for manufacturing sector.
B. Remarks on the future of the rising industry.
C. Predictions about the tendency of technology.
D. Worries about the future job trend due to machines.
35. What does the author advise us to do in the last paragraph?
A. Watch out for robots. B. Get along with robots.
C. Mind our own business. D. Learn to kick robots out.

18

"During this period of time, owners suddenly find 61. more challenging to control or train their dogs," said Lucy Asher, a behavioral specialist from Newcastle University's School of Natural and Environmental Sciences.

They analyzed how obedient the dogs were before adolescence, 64. they were around five months old, and during adolescence——eight months of age. They found that dogs were much 65. (hard)to train when they were going through puberty and more likely 66. (ignore) commands given by their owners, but not others——67. (mirror) the behavior of human teenagers with their parents. Adolescent dogs that were stressed by separation from their caregiver were also 68. (increase) disobedient to that person.
