Recently, a team of over 30 Chinese surveyors left the base camp at Mount Qomolangma for a higher spot on its jour
18、ney to the peak on Wednesday as part of the countrys mission to remeasure the height of the worlds highest mountain.The remeasurement of the peaks height is a part of Chinas latest large-scale scientific survey of Qomolangma. Preparation of the project was started in early March, with 53 surveyors f
19、rom the First Geodetic Surveying Brigade (大地测量旅) getting stationed near Qomolangma to carry out adaptive climbing and training in other technical skills, and they are going to the survey on the top of the mountain.To ensure the accuracy of the measurement, and to work it in a more scientific way, ex
20、perts from the Chinese Academy of Surveying and Mapping, the Shaanxi Bureau of Surveying, and the China Geological Survey were invited to assist in the technical design and planning of the project from the beginning.The technical innovation and breakthrough applied in the latest survey include the a

26、e a lot more common in the next few years. Social robots are about to bring technology to the everyday world in a more humanized way, said Cynthia Breazeal, chief scientist at the robot company Jibo. While household robots today do the normal housework, social robots will be much more like companion
27、s than mere tools. For example, these robots will be able to distinguish when someone is happy or sad. This allows them to respond more appropriately to the user. The Jibo robot, arranged to ship later this year, is designed to be a personalized assistant. You can talk to the robot, ask it questions
28、, and make requests for it to perform different tasks. The robot doesnt just deliver general answers to questions; it responds based on what it learns about each individual in the household. It can do things such as reminding an elderly family member to take medicine or taking family photos. Social
29、robots are not just finding their way into the home. They have potential applications in everything from education to health care and are already finding their way into some of these spaces. Fellow Robots is one company bringing social robots to the market. The companys Oshbot robot is built to assi
30、st customers in a store, which can help the customers find items and help guide them to the products location in the store. It can also speak different languages and make recommendations for different items based on what the customer is shopping for. The more interaction the robot has with humans, t
31、he more it learns. But Oshbot, like other social robots, is not intended to replace workers, but to work alongside other employees. We have technologies to train social robots to do things not for us, but with us, said Breazeal.28.How are social robots different from household robots?A.They can cont
32、rol their emotions.B.They are more like humans.C.They do the normal housework.D.They respond to users more slowly.29.What can a Jibo robot do according to Paragraph 3?A.Communicate with you and perform operations.B.Answer your questions and make requests.C.Take your family pictures and deliver milk.

34、 for social robots.C.Information on household robots.D.An introduction to social robots.D When the world responded to the COVID-19 epidemic with broad lockdown orders, home delivery services lacked the manpower to keep up with the explosion in demand. Stores and companies went on doing the hiring; i
35、n some areas, it was very hard to get goods delivered. You know what might have made things a bit easier? Drones.(无人机) It has taken years for the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to allow the use of unmanned aerial devices for commercial delivery. Over the course of a decade, weve gone from a c
36、omplete ban to slow, heavily regulated, and restricted initial testing. At the end of August 2020, the FAA finally gave Amazon approval for its Prime Air drone delivery fleet. It did that by classifying Amazon as an air carrier and making it obey some relatively recent regulations intended to facili
37、tate drone deliveries. The FAAs rules initially required that private drones remain in sight of the operator at all times. That simply wont work for delivery services. So in 2019, the agency introduced a special certification process that would allow approved pilots to operate drones across much lon
38、ger distances. Amazon will now be able to join Google in drone deliveries. The company revealed that its fleet can carry packages weighing up to 5 pounds and deliver them within a 15-mile range in less than 30 minutes. The FAA also recently granted the company Zipline, a temporary waiver(豁免) allowin
39、g it to deliver medical supplies in North Carolina. Zipline had been operating for some time in Africa. But the United States continues to fall behind both developed and developing nations in giving drone companies the freedom to test their services. While Amazon still faces several technical proble
40、ms and strict regulations, its great that the government is giving it this new room to move. Too bad it took the feds this long to allow it, especially as the pandemic made drone deliveries not just an innovation, but something we could have used yesterday.32.What can be inferred from Paragraph 2?A.
41、Drones are the most convenient aerial devices.B.The use of drones was completely banned at first.C.It took a short time to allow the use of drones.D.FAA allows drones to serve for the army.33.According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?A.Home delivery services were in great d
42、emand because of the COVID-19 epidemic.B.Rules for private drones also works for delivery services.C.Amazons pilots were allowed to operate drones across much longer distances until 2020.D.America took the lead in giving drone companies the freedom to test their services.34.Whats Paragraph 5 mainly
43、about?A.The companies allowed to use drone delivery.B.Amazon joining in drone deliveries.C.Drone deliveries used in medical service.D.Zipline operating in Africa and America.35.Whats the authors attitude toward Amazons drone delivery?A.Neutral.B.Negative.C.Favorable.D.Indifferent.第二节（共5小题：每小题2分，满分10
