A

Every year, Time magazine picks out what it calls “The 25 Best Inventions” of the year. Here, Teens has chosen some of the most interesting ones.

Ember Mug

It’s hard to always keep coffee at the right temperature, especially in winter. It’s too hot to drink at first, but before we know it, it gets too cold and loses all its taste. The perfect level of warmth for a cup of coffee only lasts for 37 seconds, which makes the Ember Mug a great invention. It keeps your coffee or tea at a certain temperature, anywhere between 45℃ and 62℃, once you set it through a smartphone app.

Tasty One Top

TV cooking shows make cooking look so easy, but it’s almost impossible to get the recipes to cook the same as how the professionals cook. However, the Tasty One Top DIY cooking companion is here to help. Developed by BuzzFeed, the cooker can be connected to a smartphone app, which has more than 1,700 recipes and videos. You choose a recipe and the app will let the cooker know what to do. For example, it’ll tell you when to turn your steak or when to add certain ingredients.

Jibo

Smart speakers from companies like Amazon and Xiaomi have added a lot of fun to our lives, but they’re still just faceless speakers. However, Jibo, developed by MIT professor Cynthia Breazeal, has brought smart technology to life. Said to be “the world’s first social robot for the home”, Jibo looks like a cartoon character. Inside its “head”, there are various sensors and cameras, which allow it to recognize faces and speech. It can also set alarms, remind you of important things, tell you the weather and read news or messages from your friends and family.

21. How can Tasty One Top help people?

A. By teaching people how to cook.    B. By offering people different recipes.

C. By saving energy while cooking.    D. By offering different kinds of cooking apps.

22. What can Jibo probably be?

A. A cartoon character.                        B. A faceless robot. 

C. A family assistant.                        D. A smart alarm.

23. What is the purpose of the passage?

A. To advertise hightech products. B. To introduce some new inventions.

C To encourage subscription to Time. D. To tell about some “tasty” products.

B

Li Jianguo, a 49-year-old teacher at the Tianjin Vocational Institute, is set to be named as one of the “2022 most beautiful teachers”—an annual public award sponsored by the Publicity Department of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and the Ministry of Education.

Li has stood out by taking the lead in the training of students in vocational skills, gaining a number of honors including being named as a national role model teacher. He has mentored(指导) seven national-level technique experts and a team of 14 technique masters. One of his students, Guo Jinpeng, who graduated from the institute in 2007, became a college teacher at the Chengdu Auto Vocational and Technical School and was named as a national role model teacher in 2019.

Li’s nomination as one of the “2022 most beautiful teachers” reflects that China is focusing on the importance of vocational education and aims to foster(培养)  more leading personnel with the spirit of craftsmanship in the manufacturing industry.

At an international vocational and technical education conference in Tianjin last month, Li noted that there is no difference between vocational education and ordinary education, and vocational education is not secondary nor should it ever be treated as less than ordinary education. “Vocational education has the mission of fostering a quality workforce and technical experts for the country. The hardworking spirit is the key to building any ordinary people into leading personnel,” he said.

Li joined the institute in 1993 and later founded a machinery engineering practice center, providing free training to 7,500 people a week. In 2015, he led a team of teachers to work for 40 days to repair 124 machine tools in the center. Li has devoted himself to building the country’s first additive manufacturing technique and application center at the institute to satisfy the thirst for the country’s human resources in 3D printing.

24. Why does the author mention Guo Jinpeng in paragraph 2?

A. To make a comparison with Li Jianguo.    B. To show the achievements of Li Jianguo.

C. To praise national-level technique experts.  D. To publicize national role model teachers.

25. What is Li’s opinion about vocational education?

A. It is a good way of winning awards.         B. It is not as good as ordinary education.

C. It should develop qualified and skilled talents. D. It has nothing to do with hardworking spirit.

26. Which of the following best describes Li’s job at the institute?

A. Boring.             B. Well-paid.         C. Difficult.             D. Creative.

27. What is the best title for the text?

A. China Sponsoring Annual Award for Teachers

B. China Aiming to Develop More Leading Personnel

C. Different Education Training Different Kinds of Students

D. A Vocational Teacher to Be Awarded as One of the “Most Beautiful Teachers”

C

One third of adults over 65 in America have never used the Internet, and half don’t even have Internet access at home. In San Francisco, “the center of tech”, 40% of older adults do not have basic digital literacy skills.

This situation is becoming appalling as over 10,000 Americans turn 65 every single day. By 2050,22% of Americans will be 65 or older. Meanwhile, technology is developing very fast. This means that a large number of people will be unable to proficiently use emergent technology.

Many people believe that seniors aren’t required to participate in our tech future because they’ll be retired and relaxed soon. But this is the farthest thing from the truth. Baby boomers are currently experiencing a different boom: With more people getting older than ever before, their life expediencies are also increasing dramatically. With medical advancements, the number of American people projected to live into their 90’s has doubled since 1965.

However, they don’t have strong financial or educational support. This is not a problem; it’s a crisis. More than half of employees over 50 have been laid off in what’s being called “forced retirement.” And few organizations are actively helping older employees make the transition from full-time jobs to part-time ones. For those fortunate enough to be employed, 3 out of 5 older workers experience prejudice.

The easiest solution is to teach digital literacy. If baby boomers want to survive the forthcoming retirement crisis, they should get enough digital knowledge and skills to operate today’s tools and tomorrow’s platforms. With every crisis comes an opportunity. Tutoring, customer service, editing, research, book-keeping, and other virtual assistance-based work open the doors. But again, digital knowledge is first required to live in our high-tech society and gig economy. So try to get more online and navigate the growing number of sites and apps.

28. What does the underlined word “appalling” probably mean in paragraph2?

A Confusing.        B. Terrible.      C. Controllable.       D. Inspiring.

29. What problem may baby boomers face?

A. A crisis after retirement.             B. Being knocked out in the future.

C. Failing to receive good healthcare.     D. Tending to double their life expediencies.

30. What is the last paragraph mainly about?

A. The features of high-tech jobs.        B. The way out for baby boomers.

C. Potential industries in the future.      D. The importance of developing technology.

31. What does the author advise baby boomers to do?

A. Have a good sense of crisis. B. Avoid retiring at an early age.

C. Look for many part-time jobs. D. Improve digital literacy actively.

D

The deep-sea oil and gas industry has vast and costly facilities to maintain. Wells, other equipment, and thousands of kilometers of pipelines must be inspected and repaired.

Now, cutting-edge underwater drones (无人机) and robots are being developed that could make the work safer and cheaper. Among them is Eelume, a six-meter-long, snake-like robot equipped with sensors and a camera at each end. It can be kept at a station at depths of up to half a kilometer for six months, without being brought back to the surface. The robot can travel up to 20 kilometers before needing to return to its station to recharge.

Maintenance work at many deep-water wells and pipeline systems is already carried out by unmanned vehicles. But these vehicles typically need to be transported to the offshore site on a fully crewed ship and then remotely operated from onboard the surface ship. That can cost up to $100,000 per day, according to Pal Liljeback, chief technology officer with Eelume Subsea Intervention, which developed the robot. Liljeback says that by “enabling the robot to become a subsea resident living at a station, it can be mobilized at any time to do inspections, thereby reducing the need for costly surface ships”.

Eelume can work autonomously on tasks assigned from a control room onshore, and send back video and data. Its snake-like design allows it to work in small spaces and wriggle (扭动) its body to stay in place in strong currents. By staying under the sea, it can carry out tasks whatever the conditions on the surface of the ocean.

The global underwater robotics market is expected to be worth around $7 billion in 2025, according to analysts, and other companies are in the process of commercializing new deep-sea drone and robot technology. Eelume Subsea Intervention will carry out final testing on the seabed later this year at the Asgard oil and gas field. It expects to put its first snake robots into use next year and hopes to have up to 50 in oceans around the world by 2027.

32. What is one feature of Eelume?

A. It can travel nearly 40 kilometers before recharging.  B. It can dive as deep as 500 meters.

C. It works mainly around the station.                D. It works for 6 months on one charge.

33. What is the problem with unmanned vehicles?

A. They are too costly to maintain.                 

B. They are hard to operate remotely.

C. They require transportation to and from work.

D. They have to work on a fully crewed ship all the time.

34. What can be expected of Eelume in the future?

A.It will face a lot of competitors.                  B. It will be worth around $ 7 billion.

C. It will be put on the market in 2027.              D. It will require no further tests.  

35. What is the main idea of the passage?

A. Eelume is the new choice for constructing pipelines.

B. Maintenance work on the ocean floor is a risky job.

C. Unmanned vehicles marketing has seen strong growth.

D. A snake robot is on its way for underwater tasks.

How to Organize Your Digital Files

Searching for a file on your computer is a whole lot easier than digging through a pile of papers, yet it’s far from being a perfect system. Lately, it’s been hit-or-miss for me. ____36____ I hope some of these tips will help you.

Use “resources”, “in progress”, “final”, and “scrap” folders for projects.

There are plenty of ways to title your subfolders for projects, but one of the most intuitive(使用简便的) is to have folders for stages of your project. ____37____

The “resources” folder is for things like images, documents, and other items that are needed to complete your project. ____38____“Final,” as you might imagine, is for the project files once the project has been approved and is done. “Scrap” is for anything you want to save from the project that doesn’t belong in the “final” folder.

____39____

It’s near impossible to find a photo quickly when you have thousands of photos all named something like “20211108_0978234.jpg.” So for photos, I like to have a date structure and folders for key events or categories, such as: 2021 ＞01 (for the month)＞2021-01 Mom and Dad 50 Anniversary LA．This way, you can either browse your photos by year and month or search for folders that include “Mom”, “Dad”, “Anniversary”, or “LA．”

Use tags.

In addition to creating a folder structure that works for you, consider tagging files. ____40____ Say, for example, you want to see all of your photos for all of your holiday celebrations. You can set up a tag for “holidays.” And then to narrow down the results, you can search using the tag.

A．With tags, you can connect multiple files across folders.

B．For photos, use a date structure and keywords for your folders.

C．This way, you can always know which is the final project file to grab.

D．The standards will keep files organized and make them easier on the eye.

E．“In progress” is for the current working version or versions of the project.

F．To find files more efficiently, I’ve been rearranging my digital filing system.

G．Move your photos to a more specific folder or back them up on an external storage device.

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。

It was a cold yet sunny Saturday morning in February. Dad’s New Year’s resolution（决定，决心） had been to get fit. Mum pushed him out of bed and told him to go jogging by the river. Later, after a nice lie-in, she went downstairs in her dressing gown and found the kids watching TV. She turned it off and said she was going to do something really special for Dad’s birthday. If they overheard anything, just promised to keep it secret.

Jenny looked at Mum with a puzzled expression on her forehead and promised they wouldn’t say anything whatever happened. But Jenny reminded Dad’s birthday was in June and it might be a little too early to get all steamed up about it.

Silent for a moment, Mum said she was not getting everything ready but just wanted to spare enough time for preparation as this year it’s a bigger deal than usual. Dad was going to be 50.

“50! Gosh, that’s half a century,” spluttered Gerry. “I knew he was old, but I didn’t realize he was ancient!”

Indeed, that was why Mum started planning a special party for him. Mum talked with grandma about the plan because her house was the only one in the family that is spacious enough for all friends and relatives. Grandma quite agreed and also started preparing.

“But you know how Dad feels guilty to bother others. You’ve got to admit,” reminded Jenny. Thinking over the special occasion, Mum was continuing with her secret when one evening, Dad was sitting at the dinner table and he suddenly slapped his forehead, “I just realized that I am going to be 50 in June. Let’s just quietly forget about it. I want to mourn (哀悼) the passing of my youth in private.”

“Oh, come on Dad, don’t be such a spoil-sport!” begged the kids, hoping to give mum a hand.

Realizing no more chance to hide the secret, Mum carefully worded her thought and shared her plan of having a little party at grandma’s house. Dad was stunned (震惊的) to no reply.

注意：

1.续写词数应为 150 左右；

Frustrated, Mum made a call to grandma.
