7.I log onto a computer at the doctor's office to say I have arrived and then wait until a voice calls me into the examination room.
There,a robotic nurse directs me onto a device and then takes my blood pressure.Some time later,in steps the doctor,who is also a robot.He notes down my symptoms and gives me a prescription.I pay for my visit using a credit card machine and return home without having met another human being.
This scenario(場(chǎng)景)is my nightmarish(噩夢(mèng)般的)vision of the future,which hasn't come to pass──at least not yet.
I should say I really do like many aspects of technology.I am a big fan of air conditioning in the summer and heaters in winter.But I am writing this because I don't want machines to take over.
When I call my dentist's office and actually get a human being on the line,I am thrilled.And when I see the introduction of yet more self-service checkout stations at the grocery store,I feel like shouting:"When it comes to cashiers(收銀員),make mine human,please!"
After all,human cashiers sometimes give you a store coupon (優(yōu)惠券) for items you are buying.Even more than that,real-life cashiers often take an interest in particularly cute children,which can brighten a young mother's day.A cashier may also show compassion for an elderly person struggling to get that last penny out of her purse.
Machines can be efficient and cost-effective and they often get the job done just fine.But they lack an element so crucial to everyday life.
It is being human that prompts(促使)us to smile at others,which may be what they need at that moment.Call it the spirit,the soul or the heart.It is something no machine will ever have.

28.What's the author's purpose in writing the first two paragraph?D
A.To indicate high technology can make our future life very efficient
B.To warn readers of the possible dangers of robotic nurses and doctors
C.To predict how technology can affect the we see a doctor in the future
D.To describe a possible future scene where robots take control of our life
29.What is the main reason that the author prefers being served by humans rather than by robots?A
A.Robots are indifferent and emotionless.
B.Robots don't offer to give store coupons.
C.Robots can't do a job as well as humans do.
D.Services from robots cost less time and more money.
30.What does the underlined word"element"mean in the seventh paragraph?D
A.Humor                                B.The ability to speak
C.Methods                               D.Effective communication
31.What's the main idea of the text?B
A.Being human service cost little money.
B.The opinion about using man or machine.
C.Machines give people a lot of convenience.
D.Being human service is better than service from machines.

This morning I went to a nearby food store to buy some breads. After the man in the store packing the bread in a small bag for me, I began to walk home with bag in my hand. On the way I met my next–door neighbor, Miss Wang, that was walking her dog. We greeted with each other and begin to talk about the weather. As we were talking, his dog jumped up at the bag in my hand though the bread gave off a delicious smell. As a result, some of the bread fell to the ground or the dog began to enjoy it. Five minutes late, I was back at the store to buy bread again.

As Easy as 1,2,3

“Uno,dos,tres…”James counted out loud the number of pages in his history report. His older brother,Matt,sat across the kitchen table from him.

“What are you doing now,James?”asked Matt,slightly bothered by James’s loud voice. “I’m trying to study for my math test. I can’t focus on my study if you keep talking.”Matt complained.

“I need to count the number of pages. We need to have at least five pages about the American Revolution. So far I only have three.”

“Why do you have to count out loud?Why does it have to be in Spanish?”Matt asked.

“Because we’re learning our numbers in Spanish class. My Spanish teacher said that speaking to others loudly instead of reading to ourselves will help us with our pronunciation.”

“I’m going to another room,”Matt said as he picked up his books.

“Okay,but you’ll be sorry when the day comes that I know Spanish and you don’t,” James joked.

A few weeks later,James and Matt visited the local grocery store. While they were there,Matt saw a sign written in Spanish.

“James,”Matt said to his brother.“Do you know what this sign says?”Matt asked,expecting James to stare at the sign without understanding.

To Matt’s surprise,James read the sign out loud.“The sign says,‘Hello. Welcome to our store,” James said. Matt was surprised. He knew that James had been practicing Spanish,but he did not realize that his brother was advancing that quickly.

“I can also read that sign over there,”James said,pointing to a sign warning customers about the wet floor.

“Well,James,”Matt said as they walked out of the store.“I’m impressed by how quickly you are learning to speak Spanish.”

“Spanish is easy and fun to learn,”James replied,smiling with confidence.“You should practice with me. We could both speak Spanish at home.”

Matt thought about James’s remark and said,“That’s a great idea!”

My summer travel started terribly. I was at the Shanghai Railway Station buy a ticket to Hangzhou. I was going to visit a friend here and after that I would go to Xiamen for long holiday. I bought my ticket but turned around to pick up my bag from the floor and then I realized that someone had stolen it. Luckily I had all my money on my pocket, but the only clothes I had was those I had on. It felt very strange to travel without any luggages. When I finally arrived at my friend he lent to me lots of clothes. I feel very happy that I could change my clothes at last.

18.How to Communicate With a Deaf Person
Communicating with a deaf person doesn't have to be as difficult as it might seem.The trick is to be patient,straightforward,and to remember that deaf people communicate visually.Before you know it,you'll forget you were ever worried!
Method 1:Staring Your Conversation
(36)AYou can do this by moving into the person's field of vision and waving from a polite distance,or by tapping the person gently on the shoulder.If it's a real emergency,you can also turn the lights off and on quickly.
Position yourself carefully.Make sure that the light in the room is shining directly onto your face,and that you're not standing with your back to a light.(37)E
Fid out how the person prefers to communicate.Some deaf people are better lip-readers than others.Some deaf people may prefer to write back and forth or to use an interpreter.Man interactions between the deaf and the hearing require a combination of these methods.(38)F
Method 2:Communicating through Lip-reading.
Keep your sentences simple and use plain language.(39)GThe more complex your phrasing and vocabulary,the more likely your deaf companion is to miss something.Try to avoid using slang or expressions that aren't widely known.
When someone else is speaking,don't turn away from the deaf person in your group.(40)DYou don't have to look at the deaf person while someone else is talking,but try to make sure your face is visible.

A.Get the person's attention.
B.It's important not talk too quickly.
C.Or,they'll miss parts of the conversation.
D.If so,it'll make them feel left out of the conversation.
E.Stand directly in front of the person,at a normal distance.
F.The best way to know which methods are most effective is to ask.
G.Try not to be too difficult when using your words in the beginning.
