After all, who would choose a plastic toy over a lovelypuppy? But Rault argues that the robotic kind has a lot going for it:“You dont have to feed it, you dont have to walk it, it wont make a mess in your house, and you can go on a holiday without feeling guilty.” The technology also benefits those who are allergic to pets, short on space, or fearful of real animals.Its not clear whether robot pets can replace real ones. But studies do suggest that we can bond with these smart machines. People give their cars names and kids give their toy animals life stories. Its the same with robots. When Sony stopped its repair service for its robot dog Aibo in March 2020, owners in Japan held funerals.As an animal welfare researcher, Rault is concerned about how robotic pets could affect our attitudes towards live animals. “If we become used to a robotic companion that doesnt need food, water or exercises, perhaps it will change how humans care about other living beings,” he said.So are dogs and cats a thing of the past, as Rault predicts? For those who grew up withliving and breathing pets, the mechanical kind might not do. But for our next generation who arein constant touch with smart technology, a future in which lovely pets neednt have a heartbeat might not be a far-fetched dream.24. What does the underlined phrase “sit well with” means?A. be refused by B. be beneficial toC. make a difference to D. receive support from25. What are the advantages of robot pets?a. They are plastic and feel smooth.b. Owners neednt worry about them when going out.c. They can help cure allergies(过敏).d. They save space and costs.A. ab B. bc C. bd D. cd26. We can learn from the passage that_.A. Sony is the first company to produce robot pets Aibo.B. People can develop strong bond with their robot pets.C. Rault thinks robot pets still have a long way to go.D. Robot toys may help people care more about living beings.27. The passage mainly tells us_.A. the advantages of robot toys B. the popularity of robot petsC. living pets are dying out D. robot pets are comingCDo you love Beats headphones, True Religion jeans, and UGG shoes? These are some of themost popular brands around. They are also expensive. But some experts say they are not muchbetter than cheaper brands.For example, Jim Wilcox works for Consumer Reports. He tested all kinds of headphones.He says that $80 Koss Pro headphones provide basically the same quality and comfort as Beats.So why do people pay twice or even 10 times as much for the hottest brands?Experts say its because fashionable, expensive brands send a message. Brands say “I belong” or “I can afford it.”Some people think that expensive brand names are worth the price. They say that somedesigner clothes really are top quality and that they last longer than cheaper brands. Someteenagers choose to wear popular brands because these brands make them feel good aboutthemselves.Alexandra Allam, 17, likes to buy brand-name products. “Id rather spend the extra money to get something I know Ill be satisfied with,” she says. Her friend Emmy Swan agrees, saying “As long as you can afford it, it seems reasonable to buy what you want.” But not all teenagers agree. “Spending hundreds of dollars for designer sunglasses is stupid and unreasonable,” says Daniel Steinbrecher, 16. “Its fake happiness.”People who are against wearing expensive brand names say that many designer brands arent any better. “Its wasteful to buy things just because they are popular,” says Edmund Williams, 15. “Youll feel better if you buy things because you like them. If you have extra money to spend, itwould be better to give it to people in need.”28. The example of Jims report wants to tell us _.A. popular brands make people comfortableB. Koss Pro headphones are better than BeatsC. the hottest brands are of the highest qualityD. lesser-known brands may offer the same quality as name brands29. According to experts, people choose the hottest brands probably _.A. to show off B. for their better qualityC. for their better designs D. to belong to a special group30. What does Edmund think of expensive brands?A. They are not worth the price. B. They make him feel confident.C. They need to improve their quality.D. They pay too much attention to personal likes.31. The text is mainly about _.A. how to buy things reasonably B. the competition between brandsC. the different values of teenagers D. whether expensive brands are worth high pricesDThe Winter Olympics has been hosted on three continents by eleven different countries. TheGames have been held in the United States four times in France three times; and in Austria, Canada, Japan, Italy, Norway, and Switzerland twice. Also, the Games have been held in Germany, Yugoslavia and Russia once. The IOC has selected Pyeongchang, South Korea, to host the 2020 Winter Olympics and Beijing, China, to host the 2022 Winter Olympics.

Six of those Austria, Canada, Finland, Norway, Sweden and the United States have earned medals at every Winter Olympic Games, and only one the United States has earned gold at each Games. Norway leads in terms of number of gold medals and overall number of medals. Germany and Japan have been banned at times from competing in the Games.The Winter Games have had only one team boycott when Taiwan decided not to participatein the 1980 Winter Olympics held in Lake Placid. Prior to the Games the IOC agreed to allowChina to compete in the Olympics for the first time since 1952. Taiwan returned to Olympic competition at the 1984 Winter Games in Sarajevo( 徽 章 ) as Chinese Taipei. The agreement remains in place to this day.32.
