China Has Launched the Seventh National Census
China, the world’s most populous country, started its seventh national population census on November 1, 2020. The massive task is now seeing around seven million workers spread out across the country to visit homes for registration work.
The census is collecting data including name, ID number, gender, marital status, education, profession and other information about Chinese citizens. (101) __________________ This approach will greatly improve the efficiency of the consensus.
China keeps track of its populace by conducting a national census every 10 years. The last census found its population had increased from 1.29 billion to 1.37 billion. (102) __________________ Nearly 600,000 foreign citizens returned the survey in 2010 --- most were from South Korea, the United States and Japan.
(103) __________________ Such information is becoming more and more important as the long-term demographic effects of the one-child policy begin to kick in. In 2010, the census found that the number of Chinese people aged 14 or younger was down 6.2% from the previous census. China’s pool of workers is shrinking as well, with many young people having to support their parents and two sets of grandparents.
Last year, the country’s birth rate hit its lowest level since the founding of the People’s Republic of China in 1949. More than 250 million Chinese were over 60 years old, the statistics revealed. They make up more than 18% of the population. (104) __________________ China is no doubt stepping into an era of aging population.
This year’s census in China may even witness a decrease in the total size of the population for the first time in decades. Meanwhile, India is set to overtake China as the world’s most populous country by 2025.

Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.
A. What gratitude can do is to give us hope.
B. There's a growing body of research on the benefits of gratitude.
C. That's why gratitude features heavily in Santos' happiness class.
D. Gratitude is a very rich emotion, but it's also a complicated one.
E. Sometimes it was the big stuff(事情): “I'm grateful so many people care.”.
F. Santos' students are asked to write a thank-you letter and then read it out loud to the recipient.
Over this past year, lifestyle blogger Aileen Xu has kept a monthly gratitude list. _____77____. And sometimes it was life’s little blessings: “I’m grateful for good hair after I shower.” Xu started making such lists when she was in college. Now, the 28-year-old YouTuber recommends the practice to her nearly 750, 000 subscribers. (订阅者)
It wasn't a hard sell. “I think just over the last few years there's been more of a trend to focus on gratitude,” says psychologist Laurie Santos, who teaches a popular course on the science of happiness at Yale.
You can buy different kinds of gratitude journals, or download apps that remind you to take down your blessings. “Those types of products can remind us to take time to be grateful,” Santos says.
And noting your gratitude seems to pay off. ______78______. Studies have found that giving thanks can help people sleep better, lower stress and improve interpersonal relationships. In another study, high school students who were asked to keep gratitude journals also reported healthier eating. There's also some evidence it could lower your risk of heart disease and reduce symptoms of depression for some people.
_____79______. “It's one of the practices that really win out (终获成功) from the field of positive psychology,” she says, “because it takes very little time, and the benefits are so powerful.”
Making gratitude lists is just one way of enjoying those benefits. The best way of expressing gratitude may be different for each person. You could choose to keep your gratitude private or share it with others.
However, for all the research on the broad benefits of expressing gratitude, there's also evidence that it isn't for everyone. And it isn't a cure-all. It can't make injustice (不公平), loss or pain disappear. _____80______. “The research shows that focusing on the positive can improve our mood more than we expect,” according to Santos.

Section C
Directions: Read the following passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.
A. This future may not be as far away as we think.
B. Robots can’t successfully imitate doctors’ motions in the operating room.
C. Finally, several humans observed as the robotic arm made numerous motions.
D. The nursing assistant for your next trip to the hospital will still be a robot instead of human beings.
AB. They will just allow us to decrease workload and achieve better performances in several tasks.
AC. His work indicates that humans and robots can effectively cooperate during high-risk events such as surgeries.
Your Next Nurse Could Be a Robot
Dr. De Momi, of the Politecnico di Milano (Italy), led an international team that trained a robot to imitate natural human actions. (102) __________ Over time this should lead to improvements in safety during surgeries because unlike their human counterparts robots do not tire and can complete an endless series of precise movements. The goal is not to remove human skill from the operating room, but to complement it with a robot’s particular skills and benefits.
“As a roboticist, I am convinced that robotic (co)workers and collaborators will definitely change the work market, but they won’t steal job opportunities. (103) __________” De Momi explains.
To conduct their experiment De Momi’s team photographed a human being conducting numerous reaching motions, in a way similar to handing instruments to a surgeon. These camera captures were input into the neural network of the robotic arm, which is crucial to controlling movements. Next a human operator guided the robotic arm in imitating the reaching motions that the human subject had initially performed. Although there was not a perfect overlap between the robotic and human actions, they were broadly similar.
(104) __________ These observers determined whether the actions of the robotic arms were “biologically inspired,” which would indicate that their neural networks had effectively learned to imitate human behavior. About 70% of the time this is exactly what the human observers concluded.
These results are promising, although further research is necessary to confirm or refine De Momi’s conclusions. If robotic arms can indeed imitate human behavior, it would be necessary to build conditions in which humans and robots can cooperate effectively in high stress environments like operating rooms. (105) __________ De Momi’s work is part of the growing field of healthcare robotics, which has the potential to change the way we receive health care sooner rather than later.

Directions: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.
A. I'm proud of what we completed here these yeas.
B. I use the term "accommodate" loosely: we are squeezed（挤压）so tight in together that sometimes my arm goes numb.
C. Then there are the ones that make your heart bleed.
D. As the children got older, the coordinator（协调员）took it upon herself to set up a space to teach them.
E. I think of how different they are and how different their lives will likely be.
F. I always thought that volunteering in Ghana meant building houses, educating in schools, or delivering.
My Volunteer Experience in Ghana
It is not quite six in the morning I am half asleep in a van that in the United States would seat maybe six people. Here in Ghana though, its insides have been gutted（掏空）and replaced with wooden benches that can accommodate twelve of us. _______ 67 _______
This goes on for two hours every morning, from Monday to Friday, so that I can get to the slum（贫民窟）town school where I teach.
Arriving at the destination always fills me with dread（畏惧）. The school originally functioned as a daycare type service free to the children of single mothers. _______68_______. Into this tiny space they squeeze anywhere between 80 and 120 children under the age of six. It is literally so full of children that you have to move them out of the way by shoving（推开）them with your feet to avoid stepping on them.
Within days, I have already learned most of their names. There are troublemakers who spend their time hitting one another and causing chaos in hopes that their negative behavior will attract attention the themselves. All of my child psychology（儿童心理学）classes tell me to ignore the behavior because responding to it may reinforce（加强）the behavior.
_______69_______. The five-year-old girl who sits in the front row, ready to learn whatever meager scraps（微薄的碎片）of knowledge we can throw her way. She learns everything we teach her, at a pace that takes my breath away. She far outpaces any Western five-year-old. I've ever worked with, and she's learning in English when her family only knows and speaks Twi（加的国内的契维语）.
I look at this decrepit（破旧的）classroom and these children in their ragged（槛楼的）clothes, and think of how different this is from the American classrooms I've known. _______70_______.

Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.
A. But at the time, many people were hesitant to use these apps regularly.
B. Location-sharing apps also make coordinating ( 协调) more convenient.
C. This would have been a terrifying concept before smart-phone technology.
D. Even if people haven't been in an emergency situation, many use them just in case.
E. Some teens, however, are unless with their parents' use of location-sharing apps.

One afternoon three years ago, Chelsey Vance from Tennessee decided to go for a walk after taking some ibuprofen (布洛芬) . She didn't know then that she was allergic (过敏的) to the painkiller.
About halfway down the trail, she felt like she was going to faint (昏倒) . Vance sent her
roommate her location and asked the roommate to come pick her up. She soon lost consciousness(意识) . Knowing Vance' s exact location, the roommate was able to find her quickly and to call an ambulance. Vance credits the location- sharing service as the reason she's alive today.
Vance' s story is a typical example of the most obvious purposes of location sharing: safety, _77_.
Launches of apps like Find My Friends, in 2011, were the start of mainstream location sharing._78_Location sharing had really taken off by the time Snap- chat was released in 2017. Today, people frequently broadcast their where abouts to their social circles.
Why do people share their locations? They say the apps provide peace of mind. Calvin Jordan, who lives in Virginia, says that because he recently moved,he doesn't have a lot of friends and family members in the area. He feels better knowing that people closest to him have his location. "If I go out somewhere strange or it's late .... I'll go into a group chat with my friends who have me on Find My Friends," Jordan says. "I'l tell them: I'm planning to leave at this time. If you don't see my lttle icon move, just give me a call or something -- to make sure I'm OK."
Several parents use the app to keep track of their kids, especially teens who drive. Joan Rose,from San Diego, uses Find My Friends to track her teenage son. She says the app reduces her worries when he's out late at night and allows her to see when he's on his way home.
_80_People use them to manage the logistics (物流) of road trips or check if their roommate stopped at the grocery store on the way home. It does away with the need for update through texts and calls - you can get an answer without disturbing anyone.
