22、A four —wheeled robot, known as Rover, has been tested by a team at Sydney University. It was used to move a herd of cows from a field to a dairy (牛奶场) .
Researchers were amazed at how easily cows accepted the presence of the robot. They were not disturbed by it and the gathering process was calm and effective. Because the robot moved in a steady manner it allowed cows to move at their own speed, which was important in reducing injuries among cattle, said Dr Kendra Kerrisk, dairy researcher and associate professor.
The robot was adapted from one that was already being used to monitor fruit and trees on farms. A team at Sydney University's Centre for Field Robotics improved the robot so that it could be put in a field with cows in order for the researchers to gather data on robot-cow interaction.
The robot needs to be operated by a human now but it's hoped that in the future a version can be developed that will be fully automated (自动化的). As well as gathering cows a new version could also collect information useful for farmers.
Using robots to get cows to the dairy will be better for their well-being. “The research is in its very early stages but robotic technologies certainly have the potential to transform dairy farming,” said Dr. Kerrisk. “When we have discussed this concept with farmers they have been extremely excited and we have had a series of calls and emails asking how they can get hold of one.” she added.
The robot could also cut down the number of accidents involving bumans on farms. Most dairy farmers in Australia use bikes to round up their cattle and they are one of the leading causes of injury. The team hopes that by using the robot to do the job instead, accident rates could fall.
【1】The robot Rover was mainly used to ________ .
A．milk the cows on the field
B．feed the cows with food
C．round up cows on dairy farms
D．take farmers around the farm
【2】Why did the cows accept the robot easily?

【3】At present, the robot Rover ________ .
A．can go around the farm automatically
B．can help researchers to gather data
C．has to be operated by a human
D．has been available in the market
【4】What can we learn from Dr. Kerrisk's words in the fifth paragraph?
A．The research will soon be finished.
B．The robot will be popular among farmers.
C．Robotic technology has highly developed.
D．Dairy farming has much potential.
【5】What's the main idea of the text?
A．A team at Sydney University developed a robot.
B．Using robots on farms can reduce injuries.

23、Years ago, I lived in a building in a large city. The building next door was only a few feet away from mine. There was a woman who lived there, whom I had never met, yet I could see her seat by her window each afternoon, sewing or reading.
After several months had gone by, I began to notice that her window was dirty. Everything was unclear through the dirty window. I would say to myself, “I wonder why that woman doesn’t wash her window. It really looks terrible.”
One bright morning I decided to clean my flat, including washing the window on the inside. Late in the afternoon when I finished the cleaning, I sat down by the window with a cup of coffee for a rest. What a surprise! Across the way, the woman sitting by her window was clearly visible. Her window was clean!
Then it dawned on me. I had been criticizing her dirty window, but all the time I was watching her through my own dirty window.
That was quite an important lesson for me. How often had I looked at and criticized others through the dirty window of my heart, through my own shortcomings?
Since then, whenever I wanted to judge someone, I asked myself first, “Am I looking at him through my own dirty window?” Then I try to clean the window of my own world so that I may see the world more clearly.
【1】The writer couldn’t see everything clearly through the window because ______.
A．the woman’s window was dirty
B．the writer’s window was dirty
C．the woman lived nearby
D．the writer was near-sighted
【2】It’s clear that ______.
A．the writer often washed the window
B．they lived in a small town
C．they both worked as cleaners
D．the writer had never met the woman before
【3】From the passage, we can learn that ______.
A．one shouldn’t criticize others very often
B．one should often make his window clean
C．one must judge himself before he judges others
D．one must look at others through his dirty window
24、In its reaction to reports that its Kindle business is exiting the Chinese mainland market, Amazon said customers can still buy Kindle devices through online and offline, while some of its devices have been sold out in the mainland.
No one knows whether customers bought all its products or the company produced too few, leading to the sellout, but it is obvious that Kindle has shut down several online sales channels, forcing many in China to put their Kindles up for sale.
On the other hand, Data shows the number of digital readers was higher than before. The total market value of the digital reading industry grows 21.8 percent over that in 2019.
The reason for the industry’s growth even as Kindle drops is the Smartphone existing everywhere. When it can meet most daily needs, why would one want a Kindle device? In fact, all electronic devices that specialize in single functions are fading out, be it Kindle, MP3 or MP4 players. Even tablets account for only one-tenth of mobile devices sales because one cannot use one to make a phone call.
Besides, Kindle itself has problems. The electronic books that can be bought are expensive, while Kindle Unlimited, a program that allows customers to read any number of eBooks for a monthly subscription (订阅) fee, seldom includes new titles.
In a nutshell, while electronic reading is a booming (繁荣的) market, the market for electronic reading devices is shrinking. That’s why many jokes that the only function left for a Kindle device is to act as a cover for a steaming cup of instant noodles.
Of course, Kindle offers some very good professional resources for scholars, while also allowing users to install an electronic dictionary to let them read in different languages. That’s why many users are saddened and hope Kindle docs not disappear forever. Maybe Kindle can find a way to reinvent itself and continue serving its customers.
【1】Why have the Kindle devices been sold out according to the passage?
A．The reason is unknown.
B．Too many offline private deals.
C．Kindles are out of stock presently.
D．The government takes some measures.
【2】What can we know about electronic devices?
A．Tablets provide call function.
B．MP3 and MP4 are more popular.
C．Smartphones are multifunctional.
D．Kindles are equipped with the latest books.
【3】What does the underlined word “shrinking” in paragraph 6 mean?
A．Increasing.
B．Disappearing.
C．Promoting.
D．Decreasing.
【4】What can we know from the last paragraph?
A．Users are disappointed with Kindle.
B．Kindle must reinvent itself to get back.
C．Kindles will quit from market for ever.
D．Electronic dictionaries can’t be got in Kindle.
