21、Late that afternoon I took the train back to Sydney. There I found another surprise waiting for me. My room had been given to somebody else and they had no room for me. Harkin had known my travel plans and had arranged everything; how could he have booked the room only for three days? There was nothing to be done but to find another hotel. The waiters were happy to find me a new hotel, and when I said that I was happy to stay at the Airport, thinking it might be cheaper than staying in the city, they suggested the Holiday Inn at the airport. There was one small matter: the room rate was $300 per night. The best hotel in Katoomba had wanted only$145. I asked if there were anything cheaper they might suggest but they warned that most hotels would already be full by this time.
The hotel was far from the train station, so I'd best take a taxi, at $25. On the way to the Holiday Inn, we passed a hotel just two blocks from the Holiday Inn that advertised a room rate of $104. At the desk I asked if their room rate could go down a lot. “No, this is a 4star hotel，”the waiter told me. “In that case，” I replied, “I'll just walk the two blocks to the cheap hotel.”But she warned me that they were probably full and that if I didn't take the room, it might not be available if I came back. Finally，I decided to take the room.
The room itself was big, but the air conditioning couldn't keep up with the Australian heat. I couldn't get to sleep until about 1：00 am.
【1】Why did the writer have to look for another hotel?
A. He didn't book early. B. He wasn't well received.
C. He was short of money. D. Harkin made a mistake.
【2】What was the weather like at that moment?
A. Hot B. Warm.
C. Cold. D. Cool
【3】Why did the writer take a room in the Holiday Inn finally?

C. It was midnight then. D. It' s around the station.
22、Every year, wildfires destroy millions of hectares of forest land, leaving many homes damaged and a lot of people homeless. Luckily, smoke jumpers help to stop this. They are brave guardians for us.
Smoke jumpers are a special type of firefighters. Unlike regular firefighters, they work in a different way. They jump from planes or are lowered by helicopters into areas that are difficult to reach by car or on foot, such as the middle of a mountain forest. They race to put out fires as fast as they can.
At a fire site, smoke jumpers first examine the land and decide how to fight the fire. Their main goal is to stop a fire from spreading or to slow its progress until full, ground-based firefighters arrive. Using basic equipment such as shovels (铁锹) and axes, smoke jumpers clear land of burnable materials, like dry grass and dead trees. They carry water with them, too, but only a limited amount.
Although the majority of smoke jumpers are men, more women are joining now. The most important factors are your height and weight. Smoke jumpers employed in the United States for example, must be between 120 and 200 pounds (between 54 and 91 kilograms) so they don’t get blown away by the strong winds or get hurt when they land. Smoke jumpers must also be capable(有能力的) of surviving in the wilderness. In Russia, many smoke jumpers know how to find food in the forest and can even make simple furniture from trees so that they can survive in the wild.
The work is dangerous, and the hours are long. But for these firefighters smoke jumping isn’t just an occupation(职业). They love being able to jump out of planes, fight fires, and live in the forest. As 28-year-old Russian smoke jumper Alexi Tishin says, “This is the best job for tough guys.”
【1】When a smoke jumper reaches a fire site, what is the first thing he or she does?

【2】What can be inferred about a smoke jumper according to the text?
A．Smoke jumpers are paid more than regular firefighters.
B．Smoke jumpers must learn to survive in the wilderness.

【3】What does the underlined word "tough" mean in the last paragraph?
A．Healthy and talented.
B．Caring and hardworking.
C．Strong and brave.
D．Energetic and generous.
【4】What is the text mainly about?
A．The life of a Russian smoke jumper.
B．Why people become smoke jumpers.

24、Faced with a declining population and shrinking workforce, Japan has been increasingly turning to robots for help. Over the years, the androids have been employed to perform a large number of human tasks, including building products and providing care and companionship for the elderly. The latest addition to the Japanese “workforce” may be Model-T. Designed by Telexistence Inc., this seven-foot- tall robot is currently undergoing trials restocking sandwiches, drinks, and ready meals on shelves at select locations of local convenience store chains Lawson and FamilyMart.
Telexistence has received funding from technology investment company Softbank Group and cell phone service operator KDDI in Japan, with overseas investors including European passenger aircraft maker Airbus Ventures. It named its robot Model-T, a nod to the Ford Motor car that began the age of mass motoring a century ago.
Model-T, whose face somewhat resembles that of a kangaroo, is certainly not the first restocking robot. However, the warehouse robots currently being used by companies, like Walmart and Amazon, are only able to accomplish single, repetitive tasks, such as carrying boxes. Model-T, on the other hand, has a wide range of movement and can be used to restock objects of various sizes, making it ideal for convenience and grocery stores, which sell a large variety of items.
“It is able to grasp or pick and place objects of several different shapes and sizes into different locations, ” Matt Satsuma, head of business development and operations at Telexistence Inc., told CNN Business. However, Model-T is not autonomous. Instead, it is operated by human “pilots” wearing a virtual reality(VR) headset and special gloves, which allow them to feel the product the robot is holding in their hands and guide it to the right shelf. Since the video connection between the robot and the human operator has a mere 50 milliseconds delay, the navigation process is seamless. Telexistence says the VR-controlled androids are easier to develop and maintain. They are also ten times cheaper than autonomous robots, which require complex programming.
Though Model-T appears to have passed the trials, it is not quite ready to enter the labor force. Besides being a lot slower than human labour, it is also only capable of lifting packaged items, and cannot grasp loose items such as fruits and vegetables. Telexistence hopes to introduce a faster Model- T within the next two years.
【1】What is the main driving factor for the invention of Model-T?
A．The demands of senior citizens.
B．The development of technology.
C．The shortage of labour force.
D．The appeal of convenience stores.
【2】What’s the hidden message behind the name Model-T?
A．It is an updated version of Ford Motor.
B．It may create a new age like Ford Motor.
C．Its bond with Ford Motor is inseparable.
D．Its design is as fashionable as Ford Motor.
【3】What can we learn about Model-T according to Paragraph 4?
A．It doesn’t need maintenance.
B．It performs tasks automatically.
C．It requires complex programming.
D．It depends largely on human’s operation.
【4】What is mainly discussed about Model-T in the last paragraph?
A．Its limitations.
B．Its working principle.
C．Its applications.
D．Its exciting prospect.
