21、 Visitors to Henn-na, a restaurant outside Nagasaki, Japan, are greeted by a unique sight: their food being prepared by a row of humanoid robots. The "head chef", named Andrew, is using his two long arms:he stirs batter(面糊)in a metal bowl, then pours it onto a hot grill. In a nearby hotel, robots check guests into their rooms and help with their luggage.
CEO Hideo Sawada, who runs the restaurant and the hotel, predicts that 70 percent of the jobs at Japan's hotels will be automated in the next five years. He said, "Since you can work them 24 hours a day, and they don't need vacation, in the end it's more cost-efficient to use the robot."
This is seemingly worrying. In fact, in America, automation(自动化)helps the food-service and accommodation sector continue to grow. In the company Panera, because of its new kiosks, an app that allows online ordering, the chain is now processing more orders overall, which means it needs more total workers to meet consumers' demand. Starbucks customers who use the chain's app return more frequently than those who don't, the company has said, and the greater efficiency that online ordering allows has increased sales at busy stores (luring peak hours. Starbucks employed 8% more people in the U. S. in 2016 than it did in 2015, the year it began to use the app.
Of course, whether automation is a net benefit to workers in restaurants and hotels, and not just a competitive advantage for one chain over another will depend on whether an improved customer experience makes Americans more likely to dine out and stay at hotels, rather than brown-bagging(自备午餐)it or find an Airbnb to book unique homes.
【1】What makes Japan's Henn-na Hotel unique?
A.Its robot employees. B.Its advanced equipment.
C.Its convenient location. D.Its successful management.
【2】What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 imply?
A.Workers may find it hard to focus on their tasks.
B.Automation may be a challenge to human jobs.
C.Automation may increase business costs.
D.Many companies may find it hard to survive.
【3】What can we infer from the two cases in Paragraph 3?
A.The two companies are competing fiercely to take over the market.
B.Automation helps the shops to become popular online.
C.Starbucks employed more people than Panera did in 2016.
D.Automation could create more job chances for humans.
【4】What is the author's attitude towards the future of automation?
A.Objective. B.Optimistic.
C.Pessimistic. D.Doubtful.
22、Race walking shares many fitness benefits with running, research shows, while most likely contributing to fewer injuries. It does, however, have its own problem.
Race walkers are conditioned athletes. The longest track and field event at the Summer Olympics is the 50-kilometre race walk, which is about five miles longer than the marathon. But the sport’s rules require that a race walker’s knees stay straight through most of the leg swing and one foot remain in contact with the ground at all times. It’s this strange form that makes race walking such an attractive activity, however, says Jaclyn Norberg, an assistant professor of exercise science at Salem State University.
Like running, race walking is physically demanding, she says. According to most calculations, race walkers moving at a pace of six miles per hour would burn about 800 calories (卡路里) per hour, which is approximately twice as many as they would burn walking, although fewer than running, which would probably burn about 1,000 or more calories per hour.
However, race walking does not pound the body as much as running does, Dr Norberg says. According to her research, runners hit the ground with as much as four times their body weight per step, while race walkers, who do not leave the ground, create only about 1.4 times their body weight with each step.
As a result, she says, some of the injuries associated with running, such as runner’s knee, are uncommon among race walkers. But the sport’s strange form does place considerable stress on the ankles and hips, so people with a history of such injuries might want to be cautious in adopting the sport. In fact, anyone wishing to try race walking should probably first consult a coach or experienced racer to learn proper technique, she says. It takes some practice.
【1】Which is the best title of the passage?
A.Race walking
B.Conditions of race
C.How tough race walking is
D.How to race like walking
【2】Why is the length of race walk mentioned in paragraph 2?
A.To tell readers how strange it is.

C.To prove that race walkers are conditioned athletes.
D.To show that race walking is physically demanding.
【3】What disadvantage does race walking have?
A.It is more likely to injure the chest.
B.It causes stress on the ankles and hips.
C.It’s less popular with young people.
D.It causes knee injuries easily.
【4】What is author’s attitude to race walking?
A.Indifferent.
B.Doubtful.
C.Nervous.
D.Objective.
