Ⅰ. 阅读理解
A
　　If you live in Washington, D. C. , or Redwood, Calif. , you may have glimpsed a small, boxy robot rolling along a local sidewalk, minding its own business, but attracting the attention of many a curious onlooker. The autonomous machines were part of a pilot program last year by Starship Technologies focused on delivering meals from local restaurants in dozens of cities around the world.
　　“Today, more than ever, people lead a busy and diverse life, ” Lex Bayer, Starship’s CEO, said in a statement online. “The hassle of needing to rearrange your life for a delivery will become a thing of the past. You don’t have to switch your working from home day, reschedule meetings, visit a locker, drive to a post office or contact a deliveryman all because of a missed delivery. ”
　　The package delivery service is not available to everyone just yet. The company said it’s rolling out the service in Milton Keynes, England. The wheeled robots have a top speed of 4 mph and can detect obstacles from as far as 30 feet away. “The robot can operate through just about anything, ” Nick Handrick, head of operations for Starship’s D. C. office, told The Washington Post’s Maura Judkis last year. “If you had something in the way—a stick—it’s able to climb the edges of a road. ”
　　By giving customers control of when deliveries occur, Starship Technologies is offering its service as a way to battle package theft. In its announcement, the company cited statistics from a Wakefield Research Poll for Comcast last year that found that 3 in 10 Americans who live in houses or townhouses have had packages stolen.
　　To sign up for the service, which costs a little more than $10 per month, customers need to download the company’s app. Customers then create a “Starship Delivery Address”, a unique address inside a Starship facility, instead of a residence, where they can have packages sent from places such as Amazon. com. Once a package is delivered to the Starship address, customers receive a text that allows them to schedule a home delivery via robot.
【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文, 主要介绍了一项新科技发明——世界上第一个机器人包裹递送服务。
1. Which can best replace the underlined word “hassle” in Paragraph 2?
A. Failure. B. Expectation.
C. Safety. D. Trouble.
【解析】选D。词义猜测题。根据画线词后的内容介绍的人工投递的不便之处可知, 此处指为快递而重新安排生活的麻烦将成为过去, 由此可知画线词词义为“麻烦”, 故D项正确。
2. What problem is the delivery robot facing?
A. There is a limit to its service area.
B. It takes longer to deliver packages.
C. It covers a short distance each time.
D. It can’t sense the barriers 20 feet away.
【解析】选A。细节理解题。根据第三段中“The package delivery service is not available to everyone just yet. ”可知, 快递机器人面对的问题是包裹递送服务还不能提供给每一个人, 也就是说它的服务范围有限, 故A项正确。
3. How does the package by a robot avoid being stolen?
A. The company shortens the delivery hour.
B. The package is delivered to the house directly.
C. Its delivery time is in the control of customers.
D. The customers are informed of its delivery time in advance.

4. What can be inferred about Starship Delivery Address in the last paragraph?
A. It offers service to the customers free of charge.
B. It can arrange delivery robots for the customers.
C. It is a cheaper solution to the delivery of packages.
D. It sends the packages mainly to some shopping platforms.
【解析】选B。推理判断题。根据文章最后一句“Once a package is delivered to the Starship address, customers receive a text that allows them to schedule a home delivery via robot”可知, 一旦包裹被送到Starship Delivery Address, 客户就会收到一条短信, 允许他们通过机器人安排一次家庭递送。由此可知, 它能够为顾客准备好递送机器人, 故B项正确。
【知识拓展】长难句分析
1. By giving customers control of when deliveries occur, Starship Technologies is offering its service as a way to battle package theft.
分析: by引导方式状语; when引导宾语从句; to battle作定语, 修饰名词way。
翻译: 通过让顾客控制送货时间, “Starship”科技使自己的服务成为了一种打击包裹盗窃的方式。
2. Customers then create a “Starship Delivery Address”, a unique address inside a Starship facility, instead of a residence, where they can have packages sent from places such as Amazon. com.
分析: a unique address是同位语; where引导定语从句。
翻译: 然后顾客就可以创建一个 “Starship”送货地址, 这个地址在 “Starship”设备中是一个独一无二的地址, 而不是一个居住地(地址)。这样顾客就可以让机器人把来自像亚马逊网站这样地方的包裹送到这个地址。

　　More than one billion young people risk damaging their hearing through the overuse of smartphones and other audio devices, the UN warned Tuesday, proposing new safety standards for safe volume levels.
　　Currently, about five percent of the global population, or some 466 million people, including 34 million children, suffer from disabling hearing loss. Young people are particularly likely to develop such risky listening habits. Around half of those between the ages of 12 and 35, or 1. 1 billion people, are at risk due to “long and severe exposure to loud sounds, including music they listen to through personal audio devices, ” the UN health agency said.
　　In a bid to safeguard hearing, the World Health Organization and International Telecommunications Union issued an international standard for the manufacture and use of audio devices. WHO considers a volume above 85 decibels for eight hours or 100 decibels for 15 minutes as unsafe. The safe listening devices and system standard call for a “sound allowance” software to be included in all audio devices, to track the volume level and duration of a user’s exposure to sound, and to evaluate the risk posed to their hearing. This system could alert a user if they have dangerous listening habits.
　　WHO is also calling for parental as well as automatic volume controls on audio devices to prevent dangerous use. While some smartphones and other audio devices already offer some of these features, the UN would like to see a uniform standard used to help protect against disabling hearing loss.
　　“Think of it like driving on a highway, but without a speedometer in your car or a speed limit, ” Shelly Chadha of the WHO told reporters in Geneva. “What we’ve proposed is that your smartphones come fitted with a speedometer, with a measurement system which tells you how much sound you’re getting and tells you if you are going over the limit. ”

A. To warn people of dangerous listening habits.
B. To help protect against disabling hearing loss.
C. To promote the development of audio devices.
D. To prevent the manufacture and use of audio devices.

Around half of those between the ages of 12 and 35, or 1. 1 billion people, are at risk due to “long and severe exposure to loud sounds, including music they listen to through personal audio devices, ”可知, 年轻人更有可能形成危险的听力习惯, 年龄在12至35岁的人中有将近一半, 由于长时间暴露在过高音量的环境中, 面临听力丧失的危险, 故选A。
7. What do we know about safe volume levels according to Paragraph 3?
A. It is safe to listen to music under any circumstances.
B. It is important to keep track of the risk for the users.

8. What is the best title for the text?
A. Turning Down the Volume.

　　Most students have experienced or suffered from procrastination(拖延症). Here are some tips to help you reduce procrastination.
　　Set goals
　　Students often procrastinate because they think that they can put off the work for a while and enjoy their time at the moment. 　1　. when the deadline becomes one day away and the essay has yet to be started. In order to stay on track, you should constantly set and update goals. It can be beneficial to mark all deadlines in a planner and think about how much time you need to meet them all.  
　　Reward yourself
　　It can become extremely difficult to work for hours straight in order to finish schoolwork. In order to keep productivity, set breaks at the end of a period of time or once you finish a section of your work so that you can reward yourself with some deserved, scheduled, and controlled procrastination-like activities. 　2　. Breaks like these are proven to increase productivity and keep you focused, and they will make the process of studying much more bearable!  
　　Remind yourself of what you’re doing
　　Sometimes you may begin to think that what you are working on has little to do with what you ultimately want to do. You may consider some work or a class pointless and not useful to your further studies. However, when these thoughts arise, remind yourself what the ultimate goal of your schooling is. Remind yourself why you wanted to go to school and take this program in the first place. 　3　.  
　　Turn off the Internet
　　　4　. If you do not need the Internet to do your work, turn it off so that you are not receiving notifications while completing your work, and you are not so tempted to search for sites. The same goes for your cell phone; you can take a break from being connected to the cyber world in order to do your schoolwork. If you feel the need to check messages and websites often, set time when you will allow yourself to do so rather than constantly staying connected.  
　　　5　  
　　Being productive for all hours of every day does not work—you do need breaks, and as a student you are entitled to have a lot of fun. So, in order to balance productivity and amusement, plan time to go out with friends or do something relaxing. But ideally, social and relaxation plans should be made after a significant portion of work is complete. This way, while you are working, you can keep in mind that once you have finished your work you can go out and not worry about your assignments.
A. Have something to look forward to
B. Enjoy every minute in school
C. You may have coffee with a friend, cook, or watch a television show
D. This thought tends to make things worse, though
E. The Internet has become an essential part of our daily life
F. You may understand why you should focus on completing your work
G. Some of the most common distractions are those found on the Internet

2. 【解析】选C。你可以隔一段时间就休息一下, 并利用这段时间来适当奖励一下自己。C项“你可以和朋友喝杯咖啡, 做点美味佳肴或者看电视节目。”是可以用来奖励自己的小活动, 符合语境。故选C。

4. 【解析】选G。下文讲如果你不需要互联网来做功课, 那就关掉它吧。故此处应指互联网对你学习造成的干扰。G项意为“互联网里有一些最常见的能分散注意力的东西。”符合语境。故选G。
5. 【解析】选A。根据本段内容可知, 在学习中, 休息和放松是必不可少的, 但是必须要先把重要的学习任务完成, 然后才能放松一下。因此, 为了激励自己学习, 你可以这么想: 一旦完成了所定的学习任务, 你就可以出去玩了。A项意为“要有所期待”, 体现了本段的中心, 适合作本段的标题。故选A。

Unfortunately, Susan raises her hand to comb her hair just when the waiter bent to put the plate on the table. Her hand hit on the cup, and the tea was spattered on her trousers. In my surprise, instead complaining, Susan smiled. “So lucky that it’s not on my white shirt, and I can’t even clean it. ”His words were very inspired.
