17、 industry with annual sales of $1 billion within a decade. These four-or six-wheeled autonomous machines, usually the size of a suitcase, are already delivering groceries in America, China and Europe, which puts them ahead of many driverless cars and lorries being developed.Those bigger vehicles are

18、 held back not by technology but regulation. This means having a “safety driver” on board ready to take over if there is a problem, which is hardly labour-saving. For these larger vehicles, regulators want to see safety systems thoroughly proved. In January 2022, Britains Law Commission, which revie

19、ws lawmaking, recommended that it should not be the person in the drivers seat who faces prosecution if a vehicle in autonomous mode crashes, but the manufacturer or the body that sought approval for its use.However, sidewalk robots are getting on with the job. For example, Starship Technologies, ba

20、sed in San Francisco, estimates it has already clocked up more than 2.5 million deliveries with robots in a number of cities, universities and business parks in Europe and America. Amazon is carrying out trials with a similar sort of machine. Kiwibot, a Colombian startup, is making sidewalk deliveri

26、robably taken from?A. Sports and music.B. Business and culture.C Science and technology.D. Nature and geography.CThey say procrastination (拖延) is the thief of time actually deadlines are. New research has found that if you want someone to help you out with something, it is best not to set a deadline

27、 at all. But if you do set a deadline, make it short. Professor Stephen Knowles tested the effect of deadline length on task completion for their research. Participants were invited to complete an online survey concerning a charity donation. They were given either one week, one month, or no deadline

28、 to respond. Professor Knowles says although the topic of the survey was about charity, the results are true of any situation where someone asks another person for help. The study found responses to the survey were lowest for the one-month deadline and highest when no deadline was specified (明确规定).

29、No deadline and the one-week deadline led to many early responses, while a long deadline appeared to give people permission to procrastinate, and then forget. Professor Knowles wasnt surprised to find that specifying a shorter deadline increased the chances of receiving a response compared to a long

30、er deadline. However, he did find it interesting that they received the most responses when no deadline was specified. “We interpret this as evidence that specifying a longer deadline, as opposed to a short deadline or no deadline at all, removes the urgency to act,” he says. “People therefore put o

31、ff undertaking the task, and since they are inattentive or forget, postponing it results in lower response rates.”He says of the research that it is possible that not specifying a deadline might still have led participants to assume that there is an unspoken deadline. Professor Knowles hopes his res

32、earch can help reduce the amount of procrastinating people do. “Many people procrastinate. They have the best intentions of helping someone out, but just do not get around to doing it.”8. Why did Professor Knowles do the research?A. To study the role a deadline plays in procrastination.B. To find ou

33、t whether people are interested in charity.C. To attract public attention to the effects of procrastination.D. To test the effect of procrastination on task completion.9. What most likely leads to procrastination?A. No deadlines.B. Short deadlines.C. Specific deadlines.D. Long deadlines.10. Why do p

34、eople procrastinate when given a long deadline?A. They oppose the deadline.B. They are unwilling to act.C. They lack a sense of urgency.D. They are too busy to remember.11. Which of the following is the best title for the text?A. Procrastination the Thief of TimeB. Procrastination an Urgent Problem

35、to SolveC. Deadline a Result of ProcrastinationD. Deadline the Key to Reducing ProcrastinationDIf youve ever felt a rush of intense emotion, then youve probably also experienced the crash that comes when those emotions gradually become less strong. Although we usually think of exhaustion (精疲力竭) in p

36、hysical terms, it can also be mental. One of the contributors to mental exhaustion is high-intensity emotions. Too many of these high-intensity emotions, whether they are positive or negative, can lead to burnout.Psychologists divide emotions into two dimensions, which includes high and low intensit

37、y, as well as positive and negative. High-intensity positive emotions include excitement or elation, while low-intensity positive emotions include calmness, or contentment. When it comes to negative emotions, high-intensity emotions include anger, anxiety, and fear, while low-intensity emotions incl

38、ude sadness, boredom, and tiredness.Its easy to see how high-intensity negative emotions like anger can be exhausting. What we dont think about as much is the fact that high intensity positive emotions are also exhausting, although in a way that feels very different.Excitement, even when it is fun,

39、involves what psychologists call “physiological arousal”- activation of our sympathetic system. High-intensity positive emotions involve the same physiological arousal as high-intensity negative emotions. Our heart rate increases, and our sweat glands (腺) activate. Because it activates the bodys str

40、ess response, excitement can deplete our system when sustained over longer periods. In other words, high intensity - whether its from negative states or positive states- exhausts the body.About 15-20% of people are thought to be highly sensitive. As they cycle through the highs and lows of life, the

41、 increased amount of intensity leaves them more exhausted than others.This isnt to say that we should never feel intense emotions. Emotional variety is an essential aspect of life, one that adds a depth and richness that we need. However, what we need to be mindful of is balance. There will be the e

42、xciting days, as well as the days when stress and anxiety are what push you through the tough times, but there are other, lower-intensity emotions that will serve us well in many other situations.12. Whats the main idea of Paragraph 2?A. The functions of emotions.B. The definition of emotions.C The

43、categories of emotions.D. The expression of emotions.13. What does the underlined word “deplete” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A. Set off.B. Build up.C. Stand for.D. Burn out.14. How can we manage the stress of high-intensity emotions?A. Enrich our daily lives.B. Avoid intense emotions.C. Create emot

44、ional balance.D. Detect the cause of anxiety.15. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?A. Why psychologists are more exhaustedB. How high-intensity emotions wear us outC. Why high-intensity negative emotions are tiringD. How psychologists explain the effects of emotions第二节（共5小题；每小题
