of science by taking part in space exploration, playing in labs, building and launching rockets,

and searching the night sky.

Last year, at the age of 90, William Shatner had a life-changing experience. He went to

space, after decades of playing a science-fiction character who was exploring the universe.

William became the oldest living person to travel into space.

William was born in Montreal in 1931. He has been acting for almost his entire life,

starting when he was 6 years old. “I’ve never driven a taxi. I’ve never waited tables. I’ve

never taken an unemployment insurance check. I was always just trying to find something

new to do.” William said. So, when presented with the chance to orbit Earth in a rocket, the

91-year-old jumped at it.

On October 13, William and three others boarded Jeff Bezos’ space capsule, called Blue

Origin. At 9:51 a.m. central time, the rocket fired up its engines. With all the attending noise

and fire, William lifted off. He could see Earth disappearing. Gravity pulled at them. William

tried to raise his arm, and could barely do so. And after a while, suddenly, relief. They were

floating.

They got out of their harnesses and began to float around. The other folks went straight

into somersaults (翻滚) enjoying all the effects of weightlessness. William got to the window

as quickly as possible to see what was out there.

He thought he would experience a deep call for endless exploration, but he was

absolutely wrong. “When I looked into space, I saw a cold, dark, black emptiness. It was

unlike any blackness you can see or feel on Earth.” William said. “This was an immensely

powerful awakening for me. I realized that Earth is, and will remain, our only home. I am

aware — not only of our insignificance, but the grandeur ( 宏伟 ) around us that makes us

insignificant. That allows us perhaps a chance to rededicate ourselves to our planet, to each

other, to life and love all around us, if we seize that chance.”

That’s when William determined that he would do everything he could to protect our one

and only home.

4. What is William’s occupation?

A. A director. B. An actor. C. A writer. D. An astronaut.

5. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “harnesses” in Paragraph 4？

A. Safety belts. B. Crash helmets. C. Life jackets. D. Protective clothing.

6. Where does this text probably come from?

A. A science report. B. A guidebook.

C. A novel on adulthood. D. A brief biography.

With the rapid development of the catering industry (餐饮业), Li Xianghui knows it will

be challenging for traditional restaurants to handle the increasing number of diners. But for his

restaurants, things are different.

Owning four restaurants, Li “employs” a group of cooking machines, which can operate

tirelessly day and night. The cooking machine can make about 2,000 recipes. Once seated,

diners scan a QR code and use an app to make their meal selection and pay. Packed in kits, all

dishes are semi-finished and can be served within minutes after they are put into the machines.

“Automation is the future for the catering industry. It can avoid pressure from labor costs

in running a traditional restaurant and increase efficiency,” Li says. The robot “chef” has

attracted an increasing number of diners since the restaurant’s opening. “The taste is good and

the price is not expensive,” a regular customer says.

With such restaurants springing up across the country, robot “chefs” are not only taking

over restaurants but also coming into homes. Behind the scenes is the country’s growing

service robotics industry, which, as of 2021, had a market value of more than 58 billion yuan

($8.3 billion), according to the Statista database portal. The industry is projected to reach a

value of 291 billion yuan by 2027.

The “smart” restaurant for the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympic Games may have indicated

what the future of the food service industry looks like. With no human chefs and waiters,

robots took charge of everything. Across the world, robot “chefs” are set to take over cooking

in restaurants and technology advances are taking them a step further.

Working in cooperation with domestic appliances manufacturer ( 制造商), researchers

from the University of Cambridge have trained their robot “chef” to assess the saltiness of a

dish at different stages of the chewing process, imitating a similar process in humans. Their

results could be useful in the development of automated or semi-automated food preparation

by helping robots to learn what tastes good and what doesn’t, making them better “cooks”.

7. In what way are Li Xianghui’s restaurants special?

A. They are chain stores. B. The boss acts as a main chef.

C. Cooking robots take over the kitchen. D. They offer the largest variety of dishes.

8. Which word best describes the cooking machines?

A. Costly. B. Tasty. C. Inefficient. D. Competitive.

9. Why does the author mention smart restaurants for the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics in

Paragraph 5?

A. To indicate their promising future.

B. To explain why the event is successful.

C. To show the high-tech used in the event.

D. To describe how they work for the Olympics.

10. What does the last paragraph mainly tell us about robot chefs?

A. Their scientific developers. B. Their further improvement.

C. Their wide popularity. D. Their major functions.

第二节（共 5小题，每小题 2分，共 10 分）

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

I like to break writing down into three steps. The first step is having an idea. People often

ask me how to get ideas. 11 Just think of yourself as a reader rather than a writer, and

then write the story you would most love to read yourself.

That’s how I had the idea of writing Phoenix. I’ve always loved space stories. The stars

have always filled me with a sense of wonder. 12 So I had to sit down and write my own.

The second step is writing a draft, in which you tell yourself the story you want to read.

Do a bit of it every day until you reach the end. But remember that no one can write a great

book in just one draft. I’ve never met a single writer who could do that. 13 You need to

build it over a number of drafts.

14 Once you’ve written a draft, try to read it as if someone else had written it. Stop

being the writer, and become the reader again. And then ask yourself the same questions.

What works? What doesn’t? Then go back to being the writer, and do everything you can to

make it more like the story you want to read. Keep doing this until it’s the best version you

can possibly write.

The process of writing Phoenix took me 13 drafts. It was long and hard, but it was

rewarding, because it was the book I wanted to read. And you will feel the same about the

stories that you write. So I’d like to wish you all happy writing, and happy reading. 15
