26、 “Tear them apart！”“Kill the fool！”“Murder the referee (裁判)！”
These are common remarks at various sporting events.Although they may sound innocent, they influence behavior in such a way as to lead to real bloodshed.Essays have been written about the way words affect us.It has been shown that words having certain connotations (含义) may cause us to react in ways quite foreign to our usual behavior.Perhaps the time has come to remove it from sports words.
The dictionary meaning of the word “opponent” is “enemy”.Thus，when a player meets an opponent，he may tend to treat that opponent as an enemy.At such times，winning is the only goal, and every action, no matter how violent or rude，may be considered reasonable.I recall an incident in a handball game when a referee refused a player’s request for a time out for a glove change because he did not consider them wet enough.The player rubbed his gloves across his wet T-shirt and then shouted，“Are they wet enough now？”I have also witnessed a player reacting to his opponent’s illegal blocking by hitting him with the ball as hard as he could.Off the court，they are good friends.It certainly gives proof of a court attitude which differs from normal behavior.
Therefore，I believe it is time we promoted the game to the level where it belongs by setting an example to the rest of the sporting world.Replacing the word “opponent” with “associate” could be an ideal way to start.The dictionary meaning of the word “associate” is “friend”；“companion”．Reflect a moment!You may soon see and possibly feel the difference in your reaction to the word “associate” rather than “opponent”．

28、 Robots have certain advantages compared to humans. They are efficient, tireless, can be repaired when damaged and they never get sick. The last quality has made them the star during our fight against the COVID-19（新冠肺炎）. While thousands of medical workers have fallen ill dealing with this highly infectious virus and a lot more have to stay at home for fear of getting the disease, this isn’t a problem for robots. This is why the COVID-19 outbreak is seen as the “tipping point” for robots to start to replace humans in certain jobs.
In hospitals, robots are used to perform high-risk tasks. In China, for example, a hotel in Hangzhou employed a robot to deliver food to people under quarantine（隔离）. In Spain, robots are about to be used to test people for the coronavirus（冠状病毒）.
In non-medical companies, robots are also replacing human employees since they don’t have the problem of the social distancing and will never take sick leave. Fast-food chains like McDonald’s are not only delivering food with robots in some areas, but also looking to use them as cooks and servers. Walmart and Amazon, for example, where robots are already used in packing and shipping, are planning to increase the number of robots in these areas.
But this sudden boom in robot demand doesn’t mean that they can replace humans successfully in every aspect. According to Bill Smart, a roboticist at Oregon State University, the human contact between doctors and patients is still important. Doctors comfort the patients and guide them through hard decisions while robots are only doing daily tasks, like cleaning and giving tests.
It might be true that robots have certain advantages over humans, but they are still secondary to human’s communication and emotion.
【1】Which of the following is not the advantage of robots over human beings?
A.They never fall ill. B.They are efficient in work.
C.They can offer the best emotion support. D.They can be repaired when damaged.
【2】Why does the author take McDonald’s and Walmart as examples?
A.To explain robots are more intelligent than humans.
B.To prove robots have social ability wherever they are.
C.To prove McDonald’s and Walmart are famous in the world.
D.To explain how robots replace humans in non-medical companies.
【3】What’s the meaning of the underlined part “sudden boom” in Paragraph 4?
A.Low supply. B.Sharp increase.
C.Short explosion. D.Excellent performance.
【4】What’s the best title of this passage?
A.The Tireless Robots B.People’s Objection to Robots
C.Robots Aid in Coronavirus Fight D.Robots Will Replace Humans
29、Interactions between people and elephants have a long history. Elephants have been trained and used by human beings for thousands of years, for everything from transportation to construction to logging to war.
In more recent times, Asian elephants have been used in entertainment and as a living 'machine' to help move logs through the jungle as part of the logging industry. The latter changed in Thailand in 1989, when the Thai government banned the use of elephants in the logging industry. Owners of elephants had very little choice but to turn to tourism to earn enough to care for themselves and their elephants by offering elephant riding to tourists.
Mahouts (象夫) are the elephant handlers who you will see riding or managing the elephants at any camp you visit. The traditional mahout life isn't easy. They are bonded to their elephant and they rarely have time off or time for family.
These years, younger mahouts in Thailand have been more likely to leave the mahout life to find jobs in the city, resulting in elephants having to get used to multiple mahouts. This can lead to additional stress on the elephant, or result in abuse by a mahout trying to manage an elephant that hasn’t built any level of trust with him.
Opponents of elephant riding may suggest that elephant rides be illegal. My worry is that an immediate ban could lead to another massive change in how elephants are treated, similar to ending elephant logging in 1989. How will mahouts that are currently making a living and supporting their elephants through rides be able to continue to do so? The average lifespan of an elephant is 60 years. Any solution needs to take into account the long-term effects on the elephants currently employed giving rides.
【1】What happened in 1989 in Thailand?
A．Elephants lost their jobs.
B．Elephants joined in tourism.
C．Entertainment was forbidden.
D．The government banned logging.
【2】What will cause the ill treatment of some elephants?
A．The great stress to make money.
B．The former masters’ leaving them.
C．The heavy load on the elephants.
D．The owners' mistrust of the elephants.
【3】What's the best title for the passage?
A．Will You Go to Thailand?
B．Why are Elephants Trained?
C．How do Mahouts Train Elephants?
D．Should You Ride Elephants in Thailand?
【4】Why does the author write this passage?
A．To present a problem.
B．To criticize mahouts.
C．To introduce Thailand.
D．To record his experience.
30、What does it mean to be a hero? I think a hero is someone who goes out of his way to make others happy. My hero is Mr. Wright, my chorus (合唱队) teacher.
When I was 12 years old, my grandparents passed away. I was really close to them, and losing them was the hardest thing I’ve ever had to ________ through. I couldn’t eat, sleep, or think; I felt like I couldn't even breathe. It was as if my whole world had fallen down from under me, and I ________ into this huge hole of depression (抑郁).

When I finished, he nodded and told me, “If you never learn anything from me, learn this: No one is worth ________ your joy. ” What Mr. Wright said really ________ a chord (心弦）in my heart. He ________ cared about me and what was going on. I’ll never be able to thank him enough, because he not only saved me but has ________ every day of my life since. Any time I feel like giving up, I remember Mr. Wright's words and push forward.
I’m proud to say that I ________ my depression, and I'm now a senior. I’m still a part of chorus, and now I'm also in the best choir at my school.
Mr. Wright is a hero to everyone he meets. He cares about every single person who walks through his door, and he loves what he does more than any other teacher I've known. That’s ________ he deserves to be Educator of the Year. He deserves the ________ not just this year but every year.
