The two giant pandas living at Ouwehands Dierenpark in the Dutch city of Rhenen staged a
charming debut(初次登台)for hundreds of long-awaited admirers on Tuesday afternoon.
After six weeks since their arrival on April 12, Wu Wen, the female giant panda, made tentative
steps into her outdoor enclosure( 围 场 ). She threw herself at the first bamboo plant she saw and
started to chew. Xing Ya, the male, sat on a rock to enjoy the early summer sunshine. Wu Wen and
Xing Ya, both three-and-a-half-year old, will stay at Ouwehands for 15 years. Native to south central
China, they belong to a species which counts only 1,864 individuals."Both are in perfect health and adapt well to their new home," said Zhang Hongwen, chief economist
of China’s National Forestry and Grassland Administration. "I am glad to see that Wu Wen and Xing
Ya are so popular in the Netherlands. Their stay will surely promote Sino-Dutch cooperation relating
to the protection of forest and biodiversity.”
Martijn van Dam, Dutch State Secretary for Economic Affairs, said, "From today on, Dutch
children will get to know Wu Wen and Xing Ya. They can get inspired by all the beautiful and
powerful things nature has offered. China has succeeded in stopping the decline of the number of
pandas. China also makes efforts to maintain the natural habitat of the giant pandas. We would also
like to contribute to that."
He stressed, "Wu Wen and Xing Ya underline these good developments. Let this be a sign of
hope that with joint forces we can protect our nature worldwide, and let this be the beginning of a
wave of inspiration for the new generation."

The official opening of Beijing Daxing International Airport caps a long design and building
process. Designed by the late architect Zaha Hadid and her Chinese partners, the airport is built for
the future, having a terminal the size of 97 soccer grounds-as well as customer-service robots that
provide travelers with flight updates and airport information.
Called "starfish" by Chinese media for its shape of five concourses(大厅)connected to a main
hall, Daxing Airport aims to reduce the walking distance for passengers. The airport authority has
promised a distance of no more than 600 meters (about eight minutes of walking)between security
checkpoints and the remotest boarding gates.
This new modern airport employs a special intelligent lighting system, supported by eight big
C-shaped columns that let in the sunlight, brightening the architecture and structure. Therefore-it
minimizes the need to use electric lighting.
To offer a more refreshing travel experience, five outdoor courtyards with the themes "Silk
Garden", "Tea Garden", "Porcelain Garden", "Countryside Garden" and "Chinese Garden" feature at
the end of the five departure lounges( 等 候 室 )for use by passengers waiting for their flights.
Travelers will be scanned on cameras using facial recognition. Counters will be fully automated to
capture face photos and relay them in each part of the journey through the airport, including security
and the departure gate.
China is projected to overtake the United States as the world's biggest air travel market by
2022. The "modest" initial operational target at Daxing is to accommodate 72 million passengers and
2 million tons of goods annually by 2025. The ambitious master plan calls for the building of a total
of seven runways, and moving at least 100 million passengers and 4 million tons of goods a year
through the airport.
28. Why is the airport in a starfish-shaped design?
A. To hold as many passengers as possible. B. To make the main hall easier to be found.
C. To keep security checkpoints effective. D. To make boarding gates within easy reach.
29. What can the airport's lighting system be described as?
A. High-end. B. Strangely-formed. C. Passenger-friendly. D. Energy-saving.
30. What can be inferred about the five outdoor courtyards?
A. They reflect the Chinese tradition. B. They use popular techniques.C. They promote Chinese goods to people. D. They follow the latest world trend.
31. What do the numbers in the last paragraph indicate?
A. The airport's market. B. The airport's project.
C. The airport's potential. D. The airport's facilities.
D
A robot designed to carry things moves quickly across a field to gather equipment at a sports
event. Such equipment, like javelins and discuses(铁饼), has been thrown by competitors. Another
robot moves a human-sized screen on wheels. It is designed to permit virtual attendance at the event.
And then there are the robots designed to look like the smiling, friendly creatures or mascots that act
as the Olympic Games’ representatives.
All these robots are part of preparations for the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo, Japan.
Japanese carmaker Toyota Motor Corporation presented the machines to reporters earlier this week.
Toyota is a major supporter of the 2020 Olympic Games.
The mascot robots have moving arms and legs, and their eyes change to the image of stars and
hearts. They cannot speak at all or walk very well. But Tomohisa Moridaira, lead engineer,
suggested several possibilities, such as getting the robot to hold the Olympic torch using magnets.
The "field support robot" is a small bus-shaped machine based on a Toyota ridesharing vehicle
that is still in development. The field support robot can travel as fast as 20 kilometers per hour. It
holds three cameras and one special sensor that lets it "see" its surroundings. Around the top of its
body are special lights that brighten when the vehicle is active. Its artificial intelligence helps it
avoid barriers. It is also able to vary its path in order to protect areas of grass.
However, it cannot find the objects, which can weigh up to eight kilograms, or pick them up on
its own. A person has to travel with the device, pick up the objects and put them in it. Then, with a
press of a button, the vehicle transports the equipment to where it needs to go.
Takeshi Kuwabara took charge of the robots’ development. He said it was designed to team
robots and humans. "Our aim was to leverage the strengths of both humans and robots," he said.
The carmaker plans to use the games to present its new vehicle technologies. These include
buses fueled by a special kind of battery, and self-driving taxis. Toyota is competing with other
carmakers and technology companies to develop low cost, robot-controlled cars and electric
vehicles.32. Why does the author mention robots in the first paragraph?
A. To attract our interest in robot technology.
B. To show us new robot technology in the 21st century.
C. To encourage creation of new robots.
D. To introduce the robots in the Olympic Games.
33. What is the feature of the "field support robot"?
A. It can work individually in the field. B. It can sense barriers and change its way.
C. It is a Toyota ride-sharing vehicle. D. It can find and pick up anything.
34. What is the purpose of the carmaker to use many robots in the Olympic Games?
A. To show its new vehicle technologies. B. To help save the natural resources.
C. To cut down the cost of the service. D. To free people from heavy work.
35. What can be the best title of the passage?
A. Robot Shows in the 2020 Olympics B. Toyota's Support for the 2020 Olympics
C. Robot Assistants in the 2020 Olympics D. Robot Competition in the 2020 Olympics

The first year of college is vital for setting students up for success, laying a strong foundation
for the rest of college and beyond. Research shows that if you finish your first year and sign up for
the second, you're far more likely to get that degree. 36 Here's what the experts recommend.
Go to college on purpose. 37 It means spending as long as four years and taking up a
large amount of your family's income. Simply going because everyone told you so puts you more at
risk of having just some college and no degree. "Don't just go to college because your school
counselor or your parents told you to go," says Yolanda Watson Spiva, who runs the non-profit
organization Complete College America. " 38 "
Make a connection with a staff member. You can lean on any college staff member connected
with the college to learn the ropes of the institution. 39 Research has shown that having one
strong connection with staff members can make you feel engaged(参与)and supported throughout
college. They can also result in strategic career advice and networking opportunities.
40 Start with your classes work on assignments together or form a study group. Join clubs and organizations-let the organizational framework of those meetings ease the awkwardness of
scheduling the first friend date. Don't beat yourself up if it doesn’t happen right away. Keep reaching
out. If someone else says hi, respond!
A. So how do you get through the first year?
B. Pick your classes wisely and map out your path.
C. Going to college takes time and money.
D. Find a group of friends who support you.
E. You actually go to college because you have an agenda.
F. You can also ask them about things unrelated to the class.
G. It can be an adviser, a financial aid officer, even a librarian.
