21、 Modern life is impossible without traveling. The fastest way of traveling is by air. With a modern airliner you can travel in one day to places which it took a month or more to get to a hundred years ago.
Traveling by train is slower than by air, but it has its own advantages. For example, you can see the country you are traveling through. Besides, modern trains have comfortable seats and dining cars. They make even the longest journey enjoyable and comfortable.
Some people prefer to travel by sea when possible. There are large liners and river boats. You can visit many other countries and different places. Traveling by sea is a very pleasant way to spend a holiday.
Many people like to travel by car. You can make your own timetable. You can travel three or four hundred miles or only fifty or one hundred miles a day, just as you like. You can stop wherever you wish—where there is something interesting to see, at a good restaurant where you can enjoy a good meal, or at a hotel to spend the night. That is why traveling by car is popular for pleasure trips, while people usually take a train or a plane when they are traveling on business.
【1】From the passage, we know the fastest way of traveling is ______.
A.by car B.by train C.by air D.by sea
【2】If we travel by car, we can ______.
A.make the longest journey enjoyable
B.make our own timetable
C.travel to a very far place in several minutes
D.travel only fifty or one hundred miles a day
【3】The underlined word “They” in the second paragraph refers to ______.
A.modern trains in the country B.comfortable seats and dining cars
C.the travelers on the modern train D.the slower ways of traveling
【4】When people travel on business, they usually take ______.
A.a train or a plane B.a boat or a train
C.a plane or a car D.a car or a boat
22、A research team led by Del Pozo Cruz from the University of Southern Denmark, recently published a study that found walking 10,000 steps a day lowered the risk for dementia by 50%.
However, if walking occurred at a brisk pace of 112 steps a minute for 30 minutes, it maximized risk reduction, leading to a 62% reduction in dementia risk. The 30 minutes of fast-paced walking didn’t have to occur all at once — it could be spread out over the day. “Our take is that intensity of stepping matters — over and above volume,” said Cruz.
The new study followed 78,500 people between the ages of 40 and 79 from England, Scotland and Wales who wore wrist step counters for 24 hours a day over a seven day stretch. After counting each person’s total number of steps each day, researchers placed them into two categories: Fewer than 40 steps per minute, which is more like when you’re walking from room to room — and more than 40 steps per minute, or so-called “purposeful” walking. A third category was created for peak performers — hose who took the most steps per minute within 30 minutes over the course of a day.
About seven years later, researchers compared that data to medical records and found people who took the most steps per minute showed the biggest reduction in risk for cancer, heart disease and early death from any cause.
Researchers found the association between peak 30-minute steps and risk reduction to be dependent on the disease studied: There was a 62% reduction for dementia, an 80% decline for cardiovascular disease and death, and about a 20% drop in risk for cancer.
What’s the takeaway? You don’t have to fixate on the numbers of steps. “Spend 30 minutes being breathless at whatever pace you’re at, and then keep challenging yourself to be slightly unsatisfied at your current level so you can get better and better,” said Dr. Andrew Freeman.
【1】Which aspect of walking does the study focus on?
A．Its time.
B．Its pace.
C．Its length.
D．Its popularity.
【2】What can we learn about the subjects in the third category?
A．They are the oldest.
B．They are from Wales.
C．They walk the quickest.
D．They walk without step counters.
【3】What does paragraph 5 mainly tell us about the study?
A．Its findings.
B．Its procedures.
C．Its medical application.
D．Its theoretical significance.
【4】What does Freeman suggest walkers do?
A．Count their steps as exactly as possible.
B．Spare themselves 30 minutes every day.
C．Aim a little higher than their present level.
D．Set a specific goal for themselves each day.

24、A robot navigates through strawberries, detecting ripe ones, picking them without bruising (擦伤) them and placing them in its basket. It sounds futuristic but it is possible now thanks to Rubion, the picking robot for strawberries. This piece of Belgian innovation is not only an answer to the labor shortage in the agricultural industry, but it also allows growers to increase the quality of its produce, which in the end benefits the consumer.
Demographic (人口的) and socio-economic numbers show that the labor shortage in the agricultural industry is a fact. But for Octinion, the focus is clearly on adding quality. “Thanks to robotics, we have so many possibilities, much more than a human could ever do. Harvest prediction, picking according to market needs, simply picking when the berries are ripe instead of when workers are available—these are just a few examples of what is possible now for a grower,” says Tom Coen, CEO of the Octinion Technology Group. “The consumer will also notice the difference, as strawberries will be fresher and show less bruising.”
Introducing robots into an industry where almost everything gets done by hand is more of a revolution than an evolution. It calls for close cooperation with all stakeholders (利益相关者). Tom Coen says, “Not only have we been working together with growers and test centers across the world for the past couple of years, but breeders have been keen on being part of the technological developments.”
In 2014, a team of Belgian engineers started the development of the robot. In the meanwhile, Octinion wasn’t the only company presenting a concept. Product Manager Laura Guillaume says it's not a surprise that the company from Leuven is the first to actually present a commercial product: “By developing the robot from the beginning, we are able to make it practical in greenhouses or tunnels.” Octinion plans to launch harvesting robots for other crops in the upcoming years.
【1】What can we know about the robot?
A．It can help solve the problem of labor shortage in the agricultural industry.
B．It makes little difference to the quality of the fruit.
C．It was developed by a group of Belgian engineers independently.
D．It has been put into use around the globe.
【2】What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?
A．The good news of robotic picking.
B．The advantages of robotic picking.
C．How robotic picking works.
D．Different attitudes to robotic picking.

A．The robot was introduced to the market in 2014.
B．Octinion is the only company to put forward the idea of the robot.
C．The robot can be used in any situation.
D．Various harvesting robots are on the way.
【4】What can be the best title for the text?

B．Fruits to be picked by robots
C．The world’s first strawberry-picking robot
D．A newly-invented robot
