22、Charles Darnay was arrested again. Lucie, his wife was very worried.
“This is a desperate time,” said Sydney Carton. “We need to have a friend in the prison that will help us, and I think that Basard here will be that friend.”
“Why should I be your friend?” asked John Basard.
“I could begin telling people that you were and may still be a spy for England, the enemy of France. What do you say?”
“You are my sister’s friend,” Basard argued. “I’m sure you wouldn’t want to upset her.”
“I think the best thing to be done for her is to get rid of her brother,” said Sydney calmly. “I have another reason that you should help me. I think I know your friend in the wine shop.”
“No, no, that’s not possible. He is French!”
“He spoke very good French, but there was something strange about him. I think it may have been Cly.”
Now Basard laughed.
“No, no, Cly has been dead and buried for several years. He was buried in London, I helped to put his body in the coffin, and I can show you his burial certificate.”
Suddenly, Jerry Cruncher stood up, next to Basard.
“If you put him in his coffin, who took him out of it?”
“What do you mean?”
“I mean that he was never in it! All you buried was rocks and earth!”
Sydney Carton rubbed his chin. “If we tell people that you have been talking to another England spy, and one who is supposed to be dead. I am sure that you will go to the guillotine, Basard. What do you say now?”
“What do you want?”
“Can you go in and out of the prison whenever you want?”
“Yes, I can. The guards know me and trust me.”
“Come into the other room with me. I need to talk to you in private now,” said Carton.
Jerry and then Basard were sent out.
Left in the room now were Carton and Lorry, sitting and looking into the fire.
“You are a good man and a true friend,” said Carton. “I am sorry that I could not do more than one visit to Charles.”
Then Sydney Carton continued.
“You are an old man, Mr. Lorry, and many people respect you. You have lived a useful life, and you will be missed when you are gone.”
“I have only done my job,” replied Mr. Lorry. “I am just an old bachelor, and nobody will miss me when I die.”
“Lucie will cry for you, and little Lucie will cry for you, too.”
“Yes, that’s true, thank God!”
“If nobody cried for you, then that would make all your years of work a waste of time, wouldn’t it?”
“Yes, you are right, Mr. Carton.”

23、The word “robot” was coined in 1920 by the Czech playwright Karel Capek meaning fully functional servants. For most of their history, robots have been inelegant mechanical devices sitting out of sight in factories. Things are starting to change, however. Robots are leaving carefully managed industrial settings for everyday life and, in the coming years, will increasingly work in supermarkets, clinics, social care and much more.
They could not be coming at a better time. Many industries are facing a shortage of labor—the demand for workers has recovered much faster than expected and some people have left the workforce, particularly in America. Warehousing(仓库)has grown rapidly thanks to the e-commerce boom. Robots are picking items off shelves and helping people pack a rising numbers of boxes. They are even beginning to move slowly along some pavements, delivering goods or food right to people’s doors. Nowadays, short of workers but with lots of elderly folk to look after, having more robots to boost productivity would be a good thing.
And yet many people fear that robots will destroy jobs. A paper in 2013 by economists at Oxford University was widely misinterpreted as meaning that 47% of American jobs were at risk of being automated.
In fact, concerns about mass unemployment are overblown. The evidence suggests robots will be ultimately beneficial for labor markets. Japan and South Korea have the highest robot usage rate but very strong workforces. A Yale University study that looked at Japanese manufacturing between 1978 and 2017 found that an increase of one robot unit per 1,000 workers boosted a company’s employment by 2.2%. Research from the Bank of Korea found that robotization moved jobs away from manufacturing into other sectors, but that there was no decrease in overall vacancies.
For all that, the march of the robots will bring big changes to workplaces, too. One supposed example of “bad automation” is self-service checkouts in supermarkets, because they displace human workers. But robots could perform unpleasant work. Checkout staff who retrain to help customers pick items from aisles(传送带)may find that dealing with people in need is more rewarding than spending all day swiping barcodes in front of lasers. In addition, as jobs change, workers should be helped to acquire new skills, including how to work with and manage the robots that will increasingly be their colleagues.
The potential gains from the robot revolution are huge. In Capek’s play, the robots revolt(反抗)against their human masters and cause mass unemployment and worse. However, the beginnings of the world’s real robots have not matched Capek’s assumption. So there is no need to concern about their future.
【1】The author mentions the two researches in paragraph 4 to____________.
A．prove an argument
B．introduce an approach
C．present an assumption
D．highlight an experiment
【2】What can we infer from the passage?
A．New skills will be acquired by workers with the help of robots.
B．The more robots are used, the greater employment it can bring.
C．Robots will betray their human masters and cause worse problems.
D．Checkout staff in supermarkets may be happier to do with people in need.
【3】Towards wide spread of robots, the author is____________
A．approved
B．neutral
C．opposed
D．doubtful
【4】What’s the best title of the passage?
A．Future Risk: Jobs Being Automated
B．Robot Revolution: Causes of Changes
C．Workplace Automation: Rise of Robots
D．Robotization: Solution to Unemployment
24、Hot Air Balloon Sydney For 2, Weekend Flight

·Travel with the Tourism Award winners with over 20 years of experience
·Float over beautiful Hawkesbury Valley

Experience the wonder of a Hot Air Balloon Flight for 2 people. Rising before dawn, you can join the crew in unpacking and preparing the balloon for flight — which is a spectacle in itself! After an exciting launch, you’ll drift with the wind silently over the parklands, homes and hills of the Hawkesbury region of Sydney.
Hot Air Ballooning begins in the cool, still hours of the early morning, when the air is more stable. The launch site, determined by the weather of the morning, will be in or around the beautiful Hawkesbury Valley. The adventure begins by inflating the balloon using a giant portable fan. Once the balloon starts to take shape, the burner is lit, heating the air inside. The hot air inside is lighter than the cool air outside and this is what creates the lift and why it is called a Hot Air Balloon. Passengers are welcome to assist the pilot and crew with inflating the hot air balloon at the launch site, which only takes about 20 minutes.
The Hot Air Balloon Flight for 2 is both picturesque and peaceful. You hear very little sound from the awakening world below. The silence is only broken with blasts from the propane burner heating the air in your balloon to keep you cruising across the skies. Watch as the sun bursts from the horizon and paints the sky pink in a spectacular morning sunrise.
To top off the morning you’ll celebrate with a full gourmet breakfast. This adventure is for 2 people. There will be other people in the balloon basket with you.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
One hot afternoon, my brother Mat, a skateboarder, and I were out in front of my grandparents’ house. Mat was determined (下决心) to jump on his skateboard over a chair that he had placed in the street. I was watching him try again and again. He treated this sport, skateboarding, an important and popular sport in my country, with great love and determination. Anytime he fell down, he got right back up and tried it again.
That hot afternoon，I could see him sweating. I was worried that he’d get heatstroke (中暑). I had heard grown-ups talk about people dying of heatstroke, and I kind of understood what it was. I really didn’t want my brother to get it.
So sitting on the porch (门廊) of my grandparents’ house， I was thinking of ways to keep him cool. Just then, Mat called me, “Hey Betty, could you get me my iced tea?” I replied to his request with a nod and stood up to go get the tea. I quickly went inside the house and headed through the hallway toward Grandma’s kitchen. My grandma was making toast. When walking toward her, I heard the most shocking sound I had ever heard in my short life.
“What was that?” Grandma asked. “Did Mat scream?” As I ran through the house toward the front door, I had one thing on my mind heatstroke. When I saw Mat, my image of Mat, my big brother and protector, was destroyed. He lay still on the ground. My grandma came up, told me to go and wait inside for her. Later, neighbors took my brother to the hospital. It turned out that the heatstroke had caused him to fall and break his bones.
I didn’t get to see Mat for at least a month. Finally, I could get to see my brother together with my family. In the hospital, I found bandages around his legs. Weeks later, on the day of his leaving the hospital, the doctors said Mat probably wouldn’t walk again for the rest of his life.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
But Mat didn’t believe it when coming home in a wheelchair.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
And it didn’t take long before Mat could run and play again, like any other kid.
