24、John Fisher, a builder, and his wife Elizabeth wanted more living space, so they left their small flat for an old 40-metre-high castle tower. They have spent five years turning it into a beautiful home with six floors, winning three architectural prizes.

“I love the space, and being private,” Elizabeth says. “You feel separated from the world. If I’m in the kitchen, which is 25 metres above the ground floor, and the doorbell rings, I don’t have to answer it because visitors can’t see I’m in!”

“There are 142 steps to the top, so if I go up and down five or six times a day, it’s very good exercise! But having to carry heavy things to the top is terrible, so I never buy more than two bags of shopping from the supermarket at a time. Apart from that, it’s a brilliant place to live.”

“When we first saw the place, I asked my father’s advice about buying it, because we couldn’t decide. After paying for it, we were a bit worried because it looked awful. But we really loved it, and knew how we wanted it to look.”

“Living here can be difficult-yesterday I climbed a four-metre ladder to clean the windows. But when you stand on the roof you can see all the way out to sea on a clear day, and that’s a wonderful experience. I’m really glad we moved.”

【1】What is the writer trying to do in the text?

A．describe how to turn an old tower into a house

B．recommend a particular builder

【3】How will John and Elizabeth advertise their tower if they sell it?

25、In recent years, there have been many films about robots trying to take over the world. Studies show that up to 20 million factory jobs worldwide could be taken by robots in the next 10 years. Some people are worried about what might happen in the future.

On 8th September, 2020, the Guardian published (发表) an article written by a robot called GPT-3. It wrote that “robot” comes from the Greek word for “slave”(奴隶) and humans have nothing to fear from robots, which are only here to help humans. However, the fact that a robot could write such an article has made some people feel even more uneasy. Where is the robot technology heading? Can robots and humans work together?

       YES-they’re here to help humans

       Robots are created by humans for humans. Robots take on jobs that are too dangerous for people to do by themselves. Although robots might take some people’s jobs, they will create new types of work, and they will possibly create more jobs than they take away. Besides, robots’ programming could actually make them more trustworthy (可靠的)than humans, because they are not influenced by feelings.

       NO-humans should not trust robots

       Robots are already taking over the world. Jobs that used to be done by human beings are now being taken by robots. Although robots are under our control now, that might not always be the case. An experiment in Switzerland found that some robots had learnt how to lie to each other. With the development of AI (人工智能), robots could start to act in their own interests. Wherever possible, human should do things themselves.

       What’s your opinion on this matter?

27、Dear Sue,

I have so many things to do every day. Besides my schoolwork every weekday, I go to a chess club twice a week. I often have to help my younger cousin. She just started primary school and has some difficulties in Maths. On top of all that, I have classes in dance, piano, art... I like doing lots of different things, but I’m so busy! Yesterday, I fell asleep during class. I was so embarrassed. What should I do? Can you help me?

A Tired Girl

Dear Tired Girl,

Sorry to hear about your trouble. You are such a busy kid!

I think you should take some time to think carefully about your plan. You can list all the things you need to do each week in a notebook. Can you do all of these things and get enough rest to stay healthy? If not, decide what things must be done and what can be dropped from your list.

Here are some other tips that may help you:

●Plan your study time for each subject and do a review every weekend.

●Organize your notes right after classes.

● Take a few minutes every evening to check how your plan is going.

Making a good plan is half the work itself.

Best of luck

Sue

28、阅读下面短文，在空白处填入适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式(每空一词)。

Do you know Alexander Graham Bell? He is known as one of great 【1】 (person) in the world because he invented telephone. However, he wasn’t the 【2】 (one) person to think of the idea. A man named Antonio Meucci was officially recognized (官方认定) as the 【3】 (invent) in 2002. Who is Meucci and why wasn’t he known 【4】 his invention at the time?
