But instead,a crew of two robots quickly appeared.A robot broom rushed over and started to sweep the pieces of the broken plate into a robot garbage can.They finished and moved back into the kitchen. My plan to see a real person in Sophie's Eatery failed.I hope the robot-restaurant trend ends soon.I want to deal with people again! 24.What does the underlined word"escorted"in paragraph 2 mean?

Most of this common future thinking is about the near future:the next few minutes,hours,days,weeks,months or maybe even the next few years of our lives.Little time is spent thinking about what our lives will be like or what actions we should prepare to take in the far future:ten years,twenty years,or even fifty years from now.This kind of far-future thinking is the domain of professional futurists.

These were the fascinating questions that we recently explored with other futurists.I was personally inspired by the discussions,and learned a lot about how futurists imagine the future of life.They specifically wanted to use their imaginations to make the world a better place.Another big benefit for me was that this way of thinking is a skill that can be taught.Society would benefit greatly if we all learned the valuable skills that enable us to think about what things would be like in the future. 32.The writer gives many examples in the first paragraph to A.draw readers'attention B.explain the topic C.entertain readers D.tell readers the main idea of the passage 答案B 解标推理判断题。第一段中作者举一系列例子是为了来解释“Thinking about the future isn'ta special skill.Actually,everyone does it all the time.”这个观，点，故选B项。 33.The underlined word“domain”in the second paragraph can be replaced by“_” A.understanding B.choice C.field D.rule 10
