参考答案：
Possible version：
With the development of science and technology, more and more intelligent robots are being used in industrial fields, taking the place of humans to do many dangerous tasks. Besides, with the price of robots going down, they have begun to enter families, helping people do some housework and even care for patients or read books for babies.
All of these suggest that robots are playing a big part in our life. By using robots, people can save time to do what they like. Meanwhile, they reduce the rate of death and injury in dangerous work.
But can people be out of work because of the existence of robots? Certainly not! However clever robots are, they are made by humans and whatever they do, they just follow the instructions given to them by humans. Therefore, robots will never completely replace humans.
Let’s enjoy the convenience brought by robots.

20. It’s interesting when you think about how Japan is a nation that appreciates the virtues of silence and good manners, and yet when it comes to eating noodles, Japanese people can be the loudest in the world.
According to lifestyle website grapee.jp, slurping when eating noodles is encouraged in Japanese culture. It’s believed that taking air into your mouth can enhance the flavor of the noodles, and that it helps cool down the noodles. It’s also considered to be a way to show appreciation for the dish. Sometimes, just making the noise alone seems to make the noodles more enjoyable.
It wasn’t until a new expression - “noodle harassment” ,or “hu-hara” in Japanese - came out last year on social media that Japanese people started to realize that the slurping noise is making some foreign visitors uncomfortable.
As a response, Japanese instant noodle maker Nissin introduced a so-called noise-canceling fork earlier this year. The fork, which looks like an electric toothbrush, is connected wirelessly to a smartphone. When the person using the fork starts to slurp, the fork sends a signal to the person’s phone, making it play a sound to mask the slurping noise.
“The fork is a solution to the ‘noodle harassment’ issue, particularly as the number of tourists visiting Japan increases,” said the company, according to Euro News.
But is it really necessary?
Dining traditions do vary. What’s considered to be proper table manners in one country is likely to be seen as rude in another. In India, for example, people eat with their hands because they think in this way they build a connection with the food. However, people who are used to eating with utensils（餐具）might find it uncomfortable to get their hands covered with oil and bits of food. But this eating method is part of India’s culture, just like Japan’s slurping is part of its own.
“So, if you are eating noodles, whether that's ramen（拉面）, udon（乌冬面）, or soba （荞麦面）, please slurp,” wrote the reporter Brian Ashcraft on blog Kotaku. “If anyone gets annoyed while you are doing that, pay them no mind because they’re missing the point entirely.”
28. Which of the following does not contribute to the popularity of slurping?
A. It is helpful to cool down the noodles.
B. I t helps to draw other people’s attention.
C. It can strengthen the flavor of the noodles.
D. It is a way to show enjoyment from the noodles.
29. Which of the following best explains “harassment” underlined in Paragraph 3?
A. Digest.
B. Enjoyment.
C. Annoyance.
D. Embarrassment.
30. Why is the eating method of India mentioned?
A. To inform readers of Indians’ dining habit.
B. To show that Indians are rude about eating.
C. To present similarity between Japan and India.
D. To provide an example of various eating traditions.
31. What is implied according to Brian Ashcraft?
A. It is impolite to ignore other people's anger.
B. Japanese shouldn’t slurp when eating noodles.
C. It is necessary to respect different eating cultures.
D. People cannot understand the pleasure of slurping at all.
参考答案：
28. B 29. C 30. D 31. C
文章通过日本人吃面条时发出声音这一现象，告诉我们应该尊重各地不同的饮食文化。

【28题详解】
细节理解题。

根据第二段It’s believed that taking air into your mouth can enhance the flavor of the noodles, and that it helps cool down the noodles. It’s also considered to be a way to show appreciation for the dish. Sometimes, just making the noise alone seems to make the noodles more enjoyable.可知日本人吃面条时发出声音可以提高面条的味道，并且有助于冷却面条。

有时候，仅仅是制造噪音似乎就能让面条更美味。

B项不是其作用，故选B.
【29题详解】
猜测词义题。

此处指直到去年社交媒体上出现了一种新的表达方式——“面条骚扰”。

harassment指骚扰，与Annoyance同义，故选C.
【30题详解】
推理判断题。

根据倒数第二段Dining traditions do vary. What’s considered to be proper table manners in one country is likely to be seen as rude in another.以及列举印度人吃饭的方式是为了说明各国的饮食传统不同，这是其中一个例子。

故选D.
【31题详解】
推理判断题。

根据最后一段Brian Ashcraft 说的“If anyone gets annoyed while you are doing
that, pay them no mind because they’re missing the point entirely.”可知他认为如果有人在你吃面条时发出声音的时候生气，不要介意，因为他们不懂当地饮食文化的意义。

由此可见我们应该尊重各地不同的饮食文化，故选C.
21. Gene technology to benefit people
Among all the fast growing science and technology, the research of human genes, or biological engineering as people call it, is drawing more and more attention now. Sometimes it is a hot topic talked about by people.
The greatest thing that gene technology can do is to cure serious diseases that doctors at present can almost do nothing with, such as cancer and heart disease. Every year, millions of people are murdered by these two killers. And to date, doctors have not found an effective way to cure them. But if the gene technology is applied, not only can these two diseases be cured completely, bringing happiness and more living days to the patients, but also the great amount of money people spend on curing their diseases can be saved, therefore it benefits the economy as well. In addition, human life can be longer.
Gene technology can help people to give birth to more healthy and clever children. Some families, with the English imperial family being a good example, have hereditary (遗传的) diseases. This means their children will for sure have the family disease, which is a great trouble for these families. In the past, doctors could do nothing with hereditary diseases. But gene technology can solve this problem perfectly. The scientists just need to find the wrong gene and correct it, and a healthy child will be born.
Some people are worrying that the gene research can be used to make human beings in large quantities. In the past few years, scientists have succeeded in cloning a sheep, even a cow, therefore these people predict that human babies would be cloned. But I believe cloned babies will not come out in large quantities, for most couples in the world can have babies in very normal way. Of course, the governments must take care to control gene technology.
68. What does “these two killers” in the second paragraph refer to?
A. Gene technology and another treatment of the two diseases.
B. The two murderers who killed the cloned baby.
C. Hereditary disease and cancer.
D. Cancer and heart disease.
69. In what way can gene technology help to treat hereditary diseases?
A. Using gene technology, a scientist finds the wrong gene and corrects it.
B. Using gene technology, people with hereditary diseases can live longer.
C. Using gene technology, human babies can also be cloned.
D. Doctors can cure cancer and heart disease with the help of gene technology.
70. What is the main purpose of writing the text?
A. Explaining that gene technology will also do great harm to human race.
B. Telling the readers the positive effects gene technology has on people’s life.
C. Expressing the writer’s idea that gene technology will benefit people.
D. Informing people that gene technology helps clone babies in large quantities.
