Some haven’t been able to do their jobs at all while others don’t interact with customers the same way. Just as many services have changed, so should tipping. Some old standards no longer seem fair, and several newer ones will apply long after the pandemic is over. As for specific situations, here’s what the experts recommend:FOOD AND DRINKSRestaurant workersOLD RULE:Leave a tip only when you dine in.NEW RULE:Always tip, even for takeout.TIP: 15 to 20 percent when you dine in, and 10 to 15 percent on takeout or delivery orders.HOME DELIVERIESPackage delivery driversOLD RULE:Don’t tip.NEW RULE: Show appreciation if you get deliveries more than once a week.TIP:  Drinks snacks, or $5 to $20 if a package is particularly heavy or large. Postal workers cannot accept cash or gifts worth more than $50 per year. UPS tells drivers to decline tips unless a customer insists. And FedEx bans employees from accepting cash or cash equivalents (such as gift cards).PERSONAL SERVICESRide-share driversOLD RULE:Tip in cash.NEW RULE:Ask your driver. The Lyft and Uber apps let you add gratuities, but some drivers prefer cash.TIP:15 to 20 percent.Hotel housekeepersOLD RULE: Tip at the end of your stay.NEW RULE:  Many hotels now do housekeeping by request only, so tip every time you ask them to come.TIP:A few dollars per night plus $5 for any extra requests, such as asking for additional toiletries.Next time, you’re unsure whether a tip is in order, follow this simple rule: When in doubt, tip. “Tipping well is one way to make things easier for someone else.”1. According to new rules, which of the following cannot get tips in cash or similar things?A. A restaurant waiter.B. A FedEx deliverer.C. A Lyft driver.D. A hotel housekeeper.2. If the shared ride booked through the Uber App costs you 20 dollars, which tipping is appropriate?A. Paying 22 dollars through the app.B. Leaving a gift card.C. Tipping 3 dollars in cash.D. Offering a bag of snacks.3. Where is the passage most probably taken from?A. A research report.B. A fashion magazine.C. A short story.D. An advice brochure.BThe 20-year-old student will be the first person to compete in the final of the Miss England contest without make-up in its nearly 100-year history, in an attempt to show girls they don’t have to wear it to feel beautiful.Ms. Raouf, from south London, won a special “bare-face” round of the competition last week, strengthening her place in the final between 40 contestants on 17 October. But while previous winners of this round have returned to wearing make-up for the final, she will not. And if she wins, she says she will leave it off for the Miss World competition, hoping to “inspire the world”.“I wanted to prove we have a choice,” she tells BBC News. Since last week’s bare-face round, Ms. Raouf has been “overwhelmed” by positive messages on social media. At her early age, Ms. Raouf was “significantly insecure”, and found comparing herself to the “unrealistic standard of beauty” shown on social media had a negative impact on her mental health. But as she got older she gained confidence-and she thinks taking part in the beauty contest, while “very scary” at the time, has increased this.Ms. Raouf does not object to wearing make-up in general, and will still do so on other occasions. She only wants girls to place more value on their “inner beauty” rather than comparing themselves to others. “When you wear that amount of make-up you’re just concealing yourself. Remove all those layers and you’ll see who you truly are,” she adds.Miss World was first organized in 1951 in the UK. Some of the rules of entry for the competition have not been changed since then. Miss England hopefuls cannot be older than 27 in their year of entry, and are not allowed to be married or have given birth to children. In 2018, Veronika Didusenko, who had been crowned Miss Ukraine, said the rules needed to change after she had her title taken away for being a mother.Altering entry rules is difficult but not impossible. Some netizens commented, “Some contestants, Ms. Raouf included, use their platform to do something good in the world.”4. Ms.Raouf won’t wear make-up in the final of the Miss England contest in order to              .A. prove girls’ natural charmsB. show her objection to make-upC. get a better place in the finalD. challenge the competition rules5. What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 3 refer to?A. The negative impact.B. Her sense of insecurity.C. Her confidence.D. Her objection to make-up.6. Who is qualified for the Miss World competition in the UK?A. Sopher, 26, an engineer who is pregnant.B. Laura, 23, a teacher at St Mary’s School Ascot.C. Marbella, 28, a graduate from Glasgow University.D. Jennifer, 25, a housewife who looks after all the household duties.7. Which of the following can best describe Ms. Raouf?A. Bold and confident.B. Responsible and talented.C. Honest and considerate.D. Outgoing and determined.CGrown-ups have long looked to childhood playthings for nostalgia(怀旧)，comfort or value as collections, inspiring a nickname within the toy industry: kidults. This market came of age during the pandemic as many Americans looked to reconnect with their past as a way of reducing stress, becoming a key driver of new sales of everything from games to trading cards.People aged 18 and up accounted for 14% of U.S. toy industry sales for the 12-month period ended June 30, according to market researcher NPD Group Inc., up from 9% in 2019. The $5.6 billion in sales to this group was up 26%, the second-biggest rise after customers aged 12 to 17. The most popular items for older consumers were building sets (think Legos),traditional plush (think stuffed animals) and action figures (think Star Wars and Marvel characters).Toy executives and analysts see this moment differently than other periods of nostalgia-based buying. Instead of storing toys unopened on a shelf, adults are actively engaging with the dolls, stuffed animals and toy weapons many had previously put away after childhood. There is also broader social acceptance of kidult preferences, they say. A 2021 survey of 2,000 adults by the U.S. Toy Association found that more than 50% of adults bought toys and games for their own use.Some of the world’s biggest toy companies are making a play for this emerging audience by creating adult-only e-commerce websites. One is Hasbro Inc., which makes everything from My Little Pony to Marvel and Star Wars action figures. Adults are also a newer focus for American Girl. When the company released the first six American Girl dolls in their original outfits in May 2021,roughly half went to grown-ups buying them for themselves.Jamie Cygielman, the company president, says American Girl has only scratched the surface of future plans to attract more mature audiences into the stores. She saw the progress firsthand while seeing three separate groups of adult women celebrating birthdays with their dolls, no kids in sight.8. What was the main factor for adults to buy toys during the pandemic?A. The relief from stress.B. The enjoyment for their own.C. The value of toys.D. Reconnection with their past.9. What can we learn about kidults?A. The toy selling to kidults is on the increase.B. Adults favor Legos, stuffed animals and Snow White.C. Adults tend to put away their toys during the pandemic.D. Few people are in favor of kidult preferences.10. What message is delivered according to Jamie Cygielman?A. American Girl has a huge market.B. American Girl appeals to adults well.C. Kidults are easy to cheer up.D. More future plans will be made to win kidults.11. What’ s the best title of the passage?A. The development of toy industry.B. The kidult preferences for toys.C. The benefits of childhood playthings.D. The business of selling toys to your inner child.DIt seems no one can really agree on the question of “What’s so funny?” So imagine trying to teach a robot how to laugh. But that’s exactly what a team of researchers at Kyoto University in Japan are trying to design an AI that takes its cues through a shared laughter system. The scientists describe their innovative approach to building a funny bone for the Japanese android ‘Erica’ in the latest issue of the journal Frontiers in Robotics and AI.“We think that one of the important functions of conversational AI is empathy(移情，共鸣)，”explained lead author Dr Koji Inoue, an assistant professor at Kyoto University in the Department of Intelligence Science and Technology within the Graduate School of Informatics. “One way a robot can empathize with users is to share their laughter.”In the shared-laughter model, a human initially laughs and the Al system responds with laughter as an empathetic response. This approach required designing three subsystems-one to detect laughter, a second to decide whether to laugh, and a third to choose the type of appropriate laughter. The type of laughter is also important, because in some cases a polite chuckle may be more appropriate than a loud snort of laughter.The team tested Erica’s new sense of humor by creating four different short dialogues between a person and Erica with her new shared-laughter system. Then they asked more than 130 people in total to listen to each dialogue within the three different conditions- shared-laughter system, no laughter, all laughter- and evaluated the interactions based on human-likeness, naturalness and understanding. The shared-laughter system performed better than either baseline.“Robots should actually have a distinct character, and we think that they can show this through their conversational behaviors, such as laughing, eye gaze, gestures and speaking style,” Inoue added. “We do not think this is an easy problem at all, and it may well take more than 10 to 20 years before we can finally have a casual chat with a robot like we would with a friend.”12. What’s the purpose of raising the question “What’s so funny” at the beginning?A. To show opinions on funny things.B. To encourage readers to share their ideas.C. To stress the difficulty of teaching a robot to laugh.D. To emphasize the importance of being funny.13. Which of the following explains the underlined phrase “the funny bone” in paragraph 1?A. The sense of humorB. The shared-laughter systemC. The speaking styleD. The distinct character14. What is NOT needed in the research of the shared-laughter system?A. Designing the subsystem to decide whether to laugh.B. Assessing the interactions based on emotions.C. Creating brief conversations between a human and Erica.D. Asking people to listen to the previously created dialogues.15. What is Inoue’s attitude towards conversational AI?A. IndifferentB. SuspiciousC. OptimisticD.

Everyone was going away on holiday except for Kevin, Emma and their parents. Dad hadn’t booked a trip and it was too late. Everything was booked up.Kevin had an idea. “Uncle Jeff’s got a holiday house by the sea. Let’s go and stay with him.” “Oh NO!” said Mum, “Not with Uncle Jeff.” And the thought of staying with his brother was enough to make Dad surf the Internet again for holiday cottages by the sea. But they had no luck.On the first of August, the tyres of Dad’s big blue car crunched up the driveway of Uncle Jeff’s country house by the sea. “I’ll take the kids to the beach so that Mum and Dad can have some time together. ”Uncle Jeff offered. Although Dad thought it did sound rather nice, he said, “It’s alright Jeff. We’ll look after the kids.”Kevin and Emma loved everything to do with the beach-digging sandcastles, eating ice cream, and diving into the waves. Mum and Dad both wore big floppy hats, put on sun cream, and read big fat paper back books nearby. The routine of beach during the day continued. But when Dad had read to the end of his book, he mentioned to Mom it would be nice to have a break from the kids. Mom applauded.The next day they gave Uncle Jeff instructions for looking after the kids. They mustn’t swim too far out to sea. And Jeff said, “Right-oh. Got ya.”, which didn’t make Mum feel at all reassured.But he did watch them while they were swimming. He even bought them a little inflatable boat, so that they could have some fun floating on it and jumping on and off into the waves. Uncle Jeff watched the kids play all morning, but in the afternoon he decided that it would probably be alright if he allowed himself a short nap.注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右;2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。Paragraph 1:At first the kids were playing “Pirates” with the little boat only a few yards from the beach.________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Paragraph 2:On the beach, Uncle Jeff sat up slowly and scanned the shore for a sight of the children.________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________听力答案：1.C 2.C 3.B 4.A 5.B 6.C 7.B 8.A 9.B 10.C 11.A 12.C 13.B 14.A 15.A 16.B 17.A 18.B 19.C 20.A
