It’s a concrete observation and communications tower that goes over 500 meters high. The adventure of walking on an outdoor platform that sticks out from the very top part of the tower for those healthy adults is attractive. It has pulled in crowds from all over the world—the EdgeWalk.‎ Toronto Zoo Going out with kids? Then treat them to a fun and educational time at the Toronto Zoo.

He was 41 years old.‎ Bryant was an 18-time All-Star player. He won five NBA championships and two Olympic gold medals. He was widely considered one of the greatest basketball players of his generation during his 20-year career with the Los Angeles Lakers.‎ The helicopter carrying Bryant and the others crashed into a hilly area in foggy conditions outside Los Angeles. Bryant lived south of Los Angeles and often used helicopters to travel around the area to save time and avoid Southern California traffic.‎ The cause of the crash is under investigation. It took place about 32 kilometers from Bryant's Mamba ‎ Sports Academy, a basketball training center in Newbury Park, California. Bryant was on his way to attend a youth basketball competition on Sunday with his daughter. Bryant and his wife, Vanessa, had four daughters.‎ When he retired from the NBA in 2016, Bryant was the third-leading scorer in NBA history with 33,643 points. He is widely expected to be elected to the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame this year.‎ The basketball world and the Los Angeles community reacted to Bryant’s death with an outpouring of sadness, disbelief and support.‎ In a statement, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said Bryant was one of the greatest stars in the game. But he added, He will be remembered most for inspiring people around the world to pick up a basketball and compete to the very best of their ability.‎ On Twitter, U.S. President Donald Trump noted the terrible news.

As thousands of people died from coronavirus disease（冠状病毒）, improving our immune system(免疫系统) has rarely felt more urgent. ‎ ‎“When you come into contact with a virus you’ve never met before,” says Sheena Cruickshank, a professor of immunology at the University of Manchester, “you’ve got various barriers such as skin, microbiome and so on to try to stop it getting into your body.” If a virus breaks these defenses, it has to deal with our white blood cells, or immune cells. ‎ ‎“However, our immune systems may have blind spots, where our immune response might won’t recognize certain bugs,” says Cruickshank, “Personally, my immune system is not necessarily very good at seeing colds.” But a healthy lifestyle will secure solid defenses. ‎ Cruickshank recommends “eating a more varied diet with lots of high-fiber foods”. Being vegetarian isn’t a necessity for microbiome health, but the more plant foods you consume, the better. ‎ To be immunologically fit, you need to be physically fit. “White blood cells can be quite inactive,” Says Prof Arne Akbar, the president of the British Society for Immunology, “Exercise mobilizes them by increasing your blood flow, so they can do their security jobs.” Apart from this, exercise can reduce stress, which is next on our list of immune-improving priorities. Stress hormones（激素）can weaken immune function. If you have had it, the virus never completely goes away. “During periods of stress,” says Akbar, “it can reactivate and then we get sick.” ‎ Exercising and eating well will have the likely knock-on effect of helping you sleep better, which is a bonus because a tired body is more sensitive to bugs. “If you’ve got a regular sleep pattern, you have natural body rhythms and everything’s fine. If they go out of order, then you’ve got problems.” says Akbar.‎ ‎8. According to paragraph 2, when the barriers fail in preventing a virus entering your body, _________ ‎ will come up next. ‎ A. immune cells B. blood C. microbiomes D.skin ‎ ‎9.Why does the author mention by “my immune system is not necessarily very good at seeing colds”?‎ A. To emphasize that our immune system is not always reliable.‎ B. To tell us that Cruickshank doesn’t lead a healthy life.‎ C. To stress that a healthy lifestyle helps improving immune system. ‎ D. To indicate that catching a cold is not a terrible thing.‎ ‎10. What does the underlined word “them” in paragraph 5 refer to? ‎ A. Microbiomes B. People doing exercise C. White blood cells D. Stress hormones ‎11. What can be a suitable title for the text?‎ A.Why does coronavirus have a bad effect on our health?‎ B. How to boost（增加） your immune system to avoid coronavirus?‎ C. Coronavirus: Improving our immune system D. Immune system: the best way to deal with coronavirus D Whether in the home or the workplace, social robots are going to become 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 companions 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, and make requests for it to perform different tasks. The robot doesn’t 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 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 company’s “Oshbot” robot is built to assist customers in a store, which can help the customers find items and help guide them to the product’s 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, the 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.‎ ‎12. What can a Jibo robot do according to Paragraph 3?‎ A. Communicate with you and perform operations.‎ B. Obey your orders and remind you to take pills.‎ C. Take your family pictures and deliver milk.‎ D.Answer your questions and make requests.‎ ‎13. What can Oshbot work as?‎ A. A shop assistant. B. A tour guide.‎ C. A language teacher. D. A private nurse.‎ ‎14. We can learn from the last paragraph that social robots will ______.‎ A. train employees B. be our workmates C. improve technologies D. take the place of workers ‎15. What does the passage mainly present?‎ A. A new design idea of household robots. B. Marketing strategies for social robots.‎ C. An introduction to social robots. D. Information on household robots ‎ Ⅱ.阅读七选五（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Are you sometimes stressed? Singing is a simple and effective way to reduce stress.
