第三题：阅读理解。


Nwadays six Amazn Scut delivery rbts are rlled ut in a pilt prgramme in Snhmish Cunty, Washingtn. The rbts carry meals, grceries and packages t hmes and ffices in this regin just nrth f Seattle. They have als appeared n the sidewalks f Lndn, Beijing and ther cities and cmmunities wrldwide. These machines must vercme pedestrian legs, naughty dgs and brken pavements, which raise sme questins.


These services are gaining attractin as a grwing number f city residents expect immediate r scheduled delivery f just abut everything. Between 2017 and 2018 nline retail sales in the US increased by 16 per cent. In the final step f all these deliveries, called the last mile, humans n bicycles, mtr scters (小型摩托车) r large delivery trucks typically deliver packages. All the vehicles cmpete fr space n busy urban streets. “There is an upward trend in deliveries in all crwded city centres, and if city and state leaders dn’t start thinking abut creative slutins like rbt deliveries, we can expect even wrse traffic jams,” says Paul Mackie, frmer directr f a research centre fr transprtatin plicy in Arlingtn.


A study by this centre fund 73 per cent f delivery vehicles in Arlingtn were parked utside f authrized areas, ften blcking bike lanes and crsswalks. By mving the last step f deliveries frm the rad t the sidewalk, cities culd reduce traffic jams and slve the parking prblem entirely, Mackie says.


Cmpanies such as Amazn are nt develping this delivery technlgy simply t clear up urban traffic. Self-driving vehicles and sidewalk rbts culd cut dwn last-mile delivery csts in cities by as much as 40 per cent, accrding t a 2018 reprt by a cnsulting firm. A delivery rbt can cst thusands f dllars t manufacture, and mst currently require human management and cnservatin. But in the lng run cmpanies that use autnmus delivery vehicles in the next several years culd end up saving billins f dllars, the reprt stated.


1.Why des Amazn intrduce delivery rbts?


A.T amuse its custmers.


B.T avid pedestrians, dgs and brken pavements.


C.T meet the increasing demand f delivering packages.


D.T cnfirm the cmpany’s innvatin spirit.


2.What des Paul Mackie mean by his wrds in Paragraph 2?


A.Retail sales in the US increased fast.


B.Deliveries stay steady in all crwded city centres.


C.Regardless f rbt deliveries, traffic jams will remain the same.


D.Rbts can help ease the traffic pressure.


3.What can delivery rbts bring t the city?


A.Blck bike lanes and crsswalks.


B.Relieve urban traffic as well as save delivery csts.


C.Increase danger t pedestrians.


D.Lead t traffic jams.


4.Which wrd can best describe the future f the rbt delivery?


A.Uncertain.B.Hpeless. C.Prmising.D.Unacceptable.


【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了亚马逊引进送货机器人以帮助缓解交通压力和节约配送成本。


【答案】 CDBC

B


Research has shwn that nearly 90 per cent f traffic accidents are caused by human errrs. S ur aim is a fully autnmus car(无人驾驶汽车) that gets rid f the cause f mst accidents: the driver. Researcher James Hdgsn pints ut, “Fr safety, the faster yu can remve humans, the better, even if there are unfrtunately a few accidents frm new causes. It’s a questin f balancing the number injured r killed by autnmus vehicles with the peple whse lives are ptentially saved.”


It’s an idea that Eln Musk, chief executive f electric car cmpany Tesla Mtrs, has lng believed. His cmpany is determined t be the first t deliver a fully autnmus vehicle t cnsumers. Last year, Musk annunced that Tesla’s 2019 gal was “t d an example drive f full autnmy all the way frm New Yrk, and have the car park itself.”


Hwever, even Tesla admits that there are prblems t vercme—the sftware needs further validatin(证实) and the apprpriate regulatry apprval needs t be in place. Indeed, recent crashes f Tesla vehicles and Ggle cars cnfirm that the sftware isn’t ready yet.


The UK gvernment appears cmmitted t encuraging the develpment f autnmus vehicles. It’s supprting fur city trials, publishing the Mdern Transprt Bill t reduce red tape arund their intrductin and adapting the legal system t take accunt f prblems such as the insurance liability when a human isn’t in cntrl f a vehicle.


The insurance industry is similarly eager t help increase autnmy in cars. As the Assciatin f British Insurers pints ut, “Nearly 90 per cent f rad accidents are caused by human errrs.” This csts mtr insurers a shcking $20 millin per day in claims.


5.What difficulty des the cmpany Tesla Mtrs have?


A.The cmpany lacks cnfidence t make new creatins.


B.New inventins may cause mre injuries and deaths.


C.The sftware shuld be made fficially acceptable.


D.The traffic regulatin has prved unreasnable.


6.What is the UK gvernment’s attitude t autnmus cars?


A.Cautius. D.Disapprving.


7.What is the main idea f the last paragraph?


A.Insurance cmpanies wuld like t supprt autnmus cars.


B.Human mistakes may be the key cause f traffic accidents.


C.Traffic accidents make insurance cmpanies earn a lt.


D.Mtrists are surprised t hear abut autnmus cars.


8.The purpse f writing the text is t .


A.amuse readers with funny examples


B.shw the authr’s deep lve fr autnmus cars


C.intrduce a new develpment in technlgy


D.prvide a persuasive argument against autnmy

第四题：（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。


Mbile phnes are ne f the mst useful inventins f the last 50 years, but nt everything that is said abut them is gd. Mbiles are frequently blamed fr a number f things, frm thumb injuries and headaches t huse fires. 9．


The thery is that the bees navigatin (导航)systems are damaged by the radiatin that is given ff by mbile phnes. Bees have a built-in system a bit like GPS and this helps them find their way back t their hive. But recently, thusands f bees have failed t find their way hme. 10


The prblem was first nticed by beekeepers in America and is a lt mre cmplicated than it at first seems. The imprtant thing abut bees is that mst f the crps in many cuntries f the wrld are pllinated (授粉)by them. 11．Many beekeepers in America and Eurpe have reprted lsing between 50 and 70 percent f their bees. Jim Piper, a Lndn beekeeper, was recently asked hw the prblem was affecting him. “My business has been ruined by this, ”he explained, “twenty-nine f my frty hives are nw empty.”


12．Hwever. the fact that bees are disappearing in very large numbers is real. And we can’t manage withut them. Einstein said that if all ur bees disappeared, man wuld nly live fr fur mre years! 13．If the mbile phne thery is crrect, we need t d smething abut it immediately—befre it’s t late.


A. Bees are lsing their way.


B. Nbdy has prved the thery is true.


C. Mre evidence is prvided t supprt the thery.


D. It is believed they are dying far frm their hives.


E. Withut bees, the crps can’t cntinue t grw.


F. The situatin needs t be evaluated by the wrld’s best scientists.


G. One thery even blames mbile phnes fr the disappearance f bees.


【答案】9．G10.D11．E12．B13．F


关于蜜蜂最重要的一点是，世界上许多国家的大多数农作物都是由它们授粉的。有一种理论认为，蜜蜂的导航系统受到手机辐射的破坏。没有人证明这个理论是正确的，但是蜜蜂正在大量消失的事实是真实的。这种情况需要由世界上最优秀的科学家来评估，然后立即采取行动。


【解析】9．G根据上句：手机经常因为许多事情被指责，从拇指损伤和头痛到房屋火灾。可知，G. One thery even blames mbile phnes fr the disappearance f bees.（有一种理论甚至将蜜蜂的消失归咎于手机）与上文相匹配。


10．D根据上句：最近，成千上万的蜜蜂没能找到回家的路。由此推知，人们认为他们离蜂巢很远，快要死了。故选D。


11．E根据上句：关于蜜蜂最重要的一点是，世界上许多国家的大多数农作物都是由它们授粉的。可知，没有蜜蜂，庄稼就不能继续生长。故选E。


12．B根据第二段第一句：The thery is that the bees navigatin (导航)systems are damaged by the radiatin that is given ff by mbile phnes. 该理论认为，蜜蜂的导航系统受到手机辐射的破坏。再根据下句：然而，事实上，蜜蜂正在大量消失的事实是真实的。可知此空的意思应该是：没有人证明这个理论是正确的。下句中的hwever表示转折，起着很大的作用。故选B。


13．F根据上句：爱因斯坦说，如果我们所有的蜜蜂都消失了，人类只会再活四年！再根据空格下句：如果移动电话理论是正确的，我们需要立即采取行动——在为时已晚之前。由此可知，这种情况需要由世界上最优秀的科学家来评估。故选F。

Life Back n Earth


It is 7 am in the mrning and the alarm reminds me nce again t prepare fr the schl. It is a beautiful day with clear sky and lts f bright sunshine. But I dn’t have time t sak int this because my schl vehicle will cme sharp at 8 and in case I miss, my parent will give me a beating. S better run.


My schl bus just tk ff and drve past the residential twers. It takes nly 5 minutes t reach the schl where each f us will have designated rutines t fllw and any deviatin will be caught n CCTV and reprted back t my parents nline n their desk. After all, it is the year 2300.


Oh yes! We are the 4th generatin peple living n Eurpa in a habitable space which has been created specifically fr us by man in the 22nd century. The earth became dangerus fr living due t increasing pllutin which ur frefathers created and hence mankind had t lk fr ther places fr a living. All ver the wrld, a handful f peple were selected and my great grandparents traveled all the way t this place t cntinue a life.


It is 12 pm and lunch time. Tday we were served sme delicius cream and chclates. These are made n planet Mars these days and brught here directly. I am feeling a little sleepy but my rbtic teacher wn’t give me a break and als ur results will be ut tday. I am feeling a little tensed.


Oh my Gd! I have cme first in my class, feeling ver the mn (Or, ver the Eurpa). And, yu wn’t believe me-I have gt a chance t visit earth alng with thers n a day trip. I am s excited abut the trip and my parents are equally s. I am carrying my latest camera t catch every mment f the jurney.


Finally we are n the earth after the 4 hurs’ jurney and we are in ur rgan-synthetic suit t prtect against the harmful envirnment where nce mankind tk their first breath.

Paragraph1:


There are still sme clnies f humans spreading acrss the glbe mstly in the triangular land mass (histrians say it Africa) and I am very eager t see them clsely. Upn arrival, we fund urselves deep in hazy atmsphere, which, as my rbt guide tells me, is the result f air pllutin. We were almst ut f breath, s we had t lk fr sme places where we culd breathe. Hw culd mankind survive here? I wndered. Luckily, we escaped and landed near a schl, where sme crazy kids are running arund a ball n an pen grund, shuting “Gal, Gal, Gal” all the time. My rbt guide tld me that it was called “Ftball”. The mst ppular game n the earth? I thught f my game f “Alien Invasin” which is mre exciting. Then we cntinued ur trip...


Paragraph2:


It is getting darker and we had t g back. While back, I still thught abut the air pllutin, the dirty water, the bare land n the earth. I can’t understand why mankind didn’t care abut their hme. Thugh I carried my camera, I tk few pictures. The jurney t the earth made me sad fr thse wh live in that place.
