20、number of days, his daughter wanted to make his trip to Ireland as smooth as possible.Upon seeing this note and knowing I would be the one to check them in, I decided to learn some very basic sign language.

22、e. Turning to the father, I greeted him in ASL (American Sign Language) and began the bit I had learned for him. His daughter broke down crying and told me I was sweet. But the father just smiled and was so happy. Honestly, seeing his reaction was enough for me. It was absolutely worth the last few

23、weeks of learning basic ASL.Sadly, I wasnt working the day they checked out, but they left a gift for me, a small box with some chocolates and a book on ASL. Inside was a note saying: “Thank you very much for what you did. My father has been in amazing spirits from the time you checked us in and ins

24、isted we get you a gift before we left. You have no idea how much this meant to my father and me, and we cant thank you enough.

34、 are 5.25 trillion pieces of plastic trash in the worlds oceans, and each year, 8 million tons of plastic are added to the figure. Though the oceans seem vast enough to stomach a lot of plastic, the level of waste is starting to reach a crisis point: According to a new report by the Ocean Conservanc

35、y, by 2025, the ocean could contain one ton of plastic for every three tons of fish.All these floating bits of plastic not only disrupt marine ecosystems, but also poison the global supply of seafood. “Its reaching crisis proportions,” says Andreas Merkl, CEO of the Ocean Conservancy. “Plastic break

36、s down into small pieces that look like plankton (浮游生物) and is eaten by everything from plankton to whales.” The new report calls for a focus on improving waste management systems in a handful of developing countries that account for the plastic leakage into the ocean. China, Indonesia, the Philippi

37、nes, Thailand and Vietnam contribute more than half of the oceans plastic since their waste facilities havent kept up with rapid industrialization.How can countries reduce the leakage of waste into the ocean? The Ocean Conservancy report suggests that by providing more waste collection services, clo

38、sing the leakage points within the collection system, getting rid of waste with effective landfill, and building more recycling facilities, the plastics leakage could be cut by 50% by 2020.Its not just an environmentalists daydream. Coca-Cola and Dow Chemical, along with some other multinational com

39、panies, have joined forces with Ocean Conservancy to fight ocean pollution. “Were committed to working toward a future of a plastic-free ocean. Companies dont make plastic with the intention of it ending up in the ocean, and we acknowledge the strong role industry must play in order to help eliminat

40、e ocean plastic waste by 2035.” Says a Dow Chemical director.“While building landfills and incinerators (焚化爐) across these developing countries might not be pretty, its far more environmentally friendly than letting waste slide into the worlds oceans.” Says Andreas Merkl.38. Five developing countrie

41、s are mostly responsible for plastic leakage because _. A. there are too many factories in those countries B. they produce the majority of the waste worldwide C. their waste facilities fail to adapt to rapid industrialization D. their citizens dont make good use of waste management systems39. The un

42、derlined word “eliminate” in Paragraph 5 means . A. end B. increase C. remainD. reduce40. From the last two paragraphs, we can learn that _. A. many companies have begun to play a role in fighting ocean pollution B. environment-friendly plastics will be invented by multinational factories C. develop

43、ing countries will be much more beautiful with a plastic-free ocean D. landfills and incinerators have greatly reduced plastic leakage into the ocean 41. The main purpose of the passage is to _. A. suggest countries learn more about oceanic waste B. persuade companies to produce fewer plastic goods

44、C. warn people of the danger of using too many plastic items D. inform people about the serious issue of plastic in the ocean DBecause of ageing, the world needs a robotics revolution. “The question for all of us is: how can we use technology to make the quality of life better as people get older?”

45、Says Gill Pratt, a man who had previously run a competition to find artificially intelligent, semi-autonomous robots for the Pentagon.Ageing and robots are more closely related than you might think. Ageing creates demand for automation in two ways. First, to prevent output from falling as more peopl

46、e retire, it is necessary to use machines as a replacement for those who have left the workforce or to enable ageing workers to continue to do physical labor. Second, once people have retired they create markets for new kinds of automation, including robots that help with the medical and other requi

47、rements of caring for people who can no longer look after themselves. Automation is not the only way to deal with skills shortages, but it is one of the most important. At the moment, the robotics market is led by industrial machines. As ageing speeds up, service robots, which enable old people to l

48、ive alone and help reduce loneliness, will be in great need. They will make it easier to look after people in nursing homes and enable older workers who want to stay employed to keep up with the physical demands of labor. Nowadays, therapeutic(治療的) robots designed for children and patients with deme

49、ntia (癡呆) and human-like robots that can carry out conversations on a limited range of topics have already been put into use.According to the International Federation of Robotics, about 20,000 robots sold in 2018 could be described as helpful to the ageing. That is less than 5% of industrial robots.

50、 The number will undoubtedly grow. The question is how quickly. Mr. Pratt is optimistic. Over the past five years, he argues, there have been huge advances in artificial intelligence, enabling machines to surpass humans in certain kinds of information processing. In other words, robots perform more

51、quickly and reliably than humans. New firms are pouring into the business. A third of robot companies are less than six years old and make service robots. The costs of research and development are coming down and investment is rising. Within a decade, Mr. Pratt supposes, robots at home will help peo

52、ple with simple tasks such as cooking. But for that to happen, robots will have to perform a long list of things they cannot yet do. They cannot navigate reliably around an ordinary home, move their hands skillfully like a human, or conduct open-ended conversations. Although they can provide some ph

53、ysical assistance to the elderly, one robot can do only one thing, so multiple tasks would require your home to be equipped with many robots. All these suggest that, in terms of solving the problem associated with ageing, robots have a long way to go. 42. Demand for automation caused by ageing exist

54、s probably because automation _. A. keeps output steady as more people retire B. helps ageing people create more physical labor C. enables ageing people to look after themselves D. creates a market for ageing peoples medical treatment43. According to the second to last paragraph, Mr. Pratt may agree

55、 that _. A. people are unwilling to put more money in industrial robots B. people will rely more on service robots than industrial ones C. robots are better than humans at information processing D. service robots are developing fast in the near future44. From the last paragraph, we can learn that th

56、e author believes _. A. robots ability to move around an ordinary home is reliable now B. one robot can already perform a long list of tasks at the same time C. technical problems in robots may limit their wider social acceptance D. the need for physically helpful robots may decrease if ageing speeds up45. It can be learned from the passage that _. A. the cost of fixing robots is still high nowadays B. robots can help older workers
