Your next Saturday night takeaway could be brought to you by a robot after a major food delivery company announced plans to use automated vehicles to transport meals. Europe’s biggest online takeaway food company Just Eat has partnered with Starship Technologies to deliver food with robots on the streets of London later this month. “Nobody has ever done deliveries with land-based robots,” said Allan Martinson, the chief operating officer of Starship.
The robot courier can travel up to 4 miles per hour for about 10 miles. It uses a GPS signal and nine cameras to navigate (确定方向). Instead of a person arriving at their door, customers could find themselves receiving a notification on their phone that says a robot is on its way and a code to unlock the automated courier. “Put the code in, the robot opens up, and there’s your food,” said David Buttress, chief manager of Just Eat.
The robot, which has so far been tested in Greenwich, Milton Keynes and Glastonbury, costs ￡1 to transport within 3 miles, compared with the ￡3 to ￡6 it costs for a human courier. To date 30 robots have driven nearly 5,000 miles without getting into an accident or finding themselves picked on by passers-by. They have driven in more than 40 cities around the world, including London and Tallinn, Estonia.
An initial worry was how the public would react to robots. But Martinson said the public has been calm when passing the delivery machine on the streets. “The most surprising reaction has been the lack of reaction,” said Martinson.
Another significant fear was that people would disrupt (扰乱) the robots, or try to steal them and their contents. To prevent this, the robot is fitted with nine cameras, two way audio, and movement sensors that send a warning if it is lifted off the ground. And it opens only with a passcode provided to the customer via a notification. “It’s much easier to shoplift than it is to steal a robot,” said Martinson.
41. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “courier” in Paragraph 2?
A. deliverer B. collector C. provider D. guide
42. According to the text, the Starship robot ________.
A. opens up upon hearing the code
B. travels 10 miles per hour at most
C. finds its way by means of GPS and cameras
D. sends a message to the customer upon arrival
43. The test of Starship robots shows that ________.
A. they are easy to operate
B. the robot delivery is appreciated in big cities
C. the robot delivery is cheaper than human delivery
D. they can travel for 10 hours continuously
44. Which of the following is one of the worries about Starship robots?
A. Safety of the robot delivery.
B. Accuracy of the robot delivery.
C. People’s indifference to the robots.
D. People’s concern about public traffic.
45. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?
A. Great Improvement of Just Eat
B. Global Trend of Food Companies
C. New Robots to Move on the Road
D. Delivery Robots to Replace Takeaway Drivers
C
The light from the campfire brightened the darkness，but it could not prevent the damp cold of Dennis’s Swamp (沼泽地) creeping into their bones. It was a strange place. Martin and Tom wished that they had not accepted Jack’s dare. They liked camping, but not near this swamp.
“So,” Martin asked as they sat watching the hot coals. “How did this place get its name? ”
“Are you sure you want to hear it? It’s a scary story,” warned Jack.
“Of course!” cried out Tom. “If there were anything to be scared of, you wouldn’t have chosen this place!”
“Ok，but don’t say I didn’t warn you,” said Jack, and he began his tale.
“Way back in time, a man called Dennis tried to start a farm here. He built that cottage over there to live in. In those days，the area looked quite different—it was covered with tall trees and the swamp was a crystal clear river. After three hard years，Dennis had cleared several fields and planted crops. He was so proud of his success that he refused to listen to advice.
“‘You are clearing too much land,’ warned one old man. ‘The land is a living thing. It will hit back at you if you abuse it.’”
“‘Silly fool,’ said Dennis to himself. ‘If I clear more land, I can grow more crops. I’ll become wealthier. He’s just jealous!’”
“Dennis continued to chop down trees. Small animals that relied on them for food and shelter were destroyed. He was so eager to expand his farm that he did not notice the river flowing slowly towards his door. He did not notice salt seeping to the surface of the land. He did not notice swamp plants choking all the native plants.”
“What happened?” Martin asked. It was growing colder. He trembled，twisting his body closer to the fire.
“The land hit back—just as the old man warned, ”Jack shrugged. “Dennis disappeared. Old folks around here believe that swamp plants moved up from the river and dragged him underwater. His body was never found.”
“What a stupid story,” laughed Tom. “Plants can’t...”Before he had finished speaking, he screamed and fainted (晕倒). The other two boys jumped up with fright, staring at Tom. Suddenly, they burst out laughing. Some green swamp ivy (常春藤) had covered Tom’s face. It was a while before Tom could appreciate the joke.
46. The underlined word “dare” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ________.
A．courage B．assistance C．instruction D．challenge


47. Why did Jack tell Tom and Martin the story?
A．To frighten them.
B．To satisfy their curiosity.
C．To warn them of the danger of the place.
D．To persuade them to camp in the swamp.
48. Why did Dennis ignore the warning of the old man?
A．The old man envied him.
B．The old man was foolish
C．He was too busy to listen to others.
D．He was greedy for more crops.
49. Why did Tom scream and faint?
A．He saw Dennis’s shadow.
B．He was scared by a plant.
C．His friends played a joke on him.
D．The weather became extremely cold.
50. What lesson can we learn from the story of Dennis?
A．Grasp all, lose all.
B．No sweat, no sweet.
C．It is no use crying over spilt milk.
D．He who makes no mistakes makes nothing.

D
What makes a person a giver or taker? The idea “give vs. take” takes shape in all interactions (互动) and relationships of our lives. We’re either giving advice, making time for people, or we’re on the receiving end. We keep changing between the two based on different situations on a daily basis, if not an hourly one.
According to Adam Grant, a professor at the University of Pennsylvania, most people are matchers. They make careful observations on takers and make it a point for them to pay something back. They hate to see people who act so generously towards others not receive any rewards. Actually, most matchers will try hard to promote and support givers so that they can get the good they deserve.
Is there a gender factor (性别因素) that plays a part in this?
A study led by Hannah Riley Bowles, a professor at Harvard University, focused on this question. She asked 200 senior managers to sit down in pairs where one person would act as the boss and the other as an employee to discuss salary promotions. Male “employees” asked for an average salary of $146k while the females asked for only $141k. But why did they not bargain as hard as the men? Simply because they were more likely to be givers.
As a woman, I do enjoy the act of giving up my time, my knowledge, and my care and my attention to others. I don’t expect anything in return, but I do tend to pull myself away when I feel like I’m being taken for granted. I also tend to get upset when I see a loved one’s continuous actions of kindness go unnoticed. So, it’s safe to say I’m 50% giver, 35% matcher and 15% taker.
I do know someone, however, who is 99% giver. They’re constantly devoting their time, sharing valuable insights (洞察力) and going out of their way for everyone who crosses their path. Although they’re changed the lives of many people, they rarely see any of it returned. But the universe is slowly repaying them; they’re now extremely successful, well known for what they do.
51. We can learn from the first paragraph that ________.
A. most people think they are givers
B. people are not always givers or takers
C. an individual is born to be a giver or a taker
D. few differences exist between givers and takers
52. In Adam Grant’s opinion, most people ________.
A. hate takers B. prefer giving to taking
C. enjoy relying on themselves D. balance giving and taking
53. Hannah’s study focused on ________.
A. The role of giving and taking in jobs
B. The gender difference in giving and taking
C. The role of men and women in society
D. The salary difference between women and men
54. The author tends to ________.
A. think acts of kindness should be valued
B. expect something in return for giving most of the time
C. take giving for granted
D. be a complete matcher

55. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

第一节：阅读表达（共5个小题，每小题2分，满分10分）
阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。
When we were growing up in our grandparents’ home, Jack, my grandfather, was always in his room sitting in the chair and listening to the radio. The voices speaking from the metal box day and night, taught us that there was a larger world outside. He would roll the black dial (刻度盘) back and forth until the signal was clear. Then he would listen.
Now he is old and falls ill. When I went to visit him, he said to me, “I dislike the Internet. The problem is that we’re losing primary contact with each other. No more shaking hands. Everyone is so busy. We want too much and in the process of getting it we miss so much.” He stopped for a while. “It makes me lonely and sad.” Then he looked at me, “I just want to hear your voices.”
I think of all the voices on the radio he has spent a lifetime listening to. I asked, “How did you become interested in radio?” “I don’t know,” he said. “It was another way to reach people. I was always interested in searching for a better signal, a clearer, more powerful signal that could communicate with someone somewhere.”
“And I’ll tell you another funny thing: you can electronically eliminate all kinds of noise from the signal, but you can’t get rid of natural noise caused by thunder and lightning, rainstorms, or snowstorms.”
He closed his eyes and smiled. “I was just thinking that in spite of all our technologies, maybe we haven’t progressed that far as human beings. We shouldn’t forget we still have the same basic needs.”
56. What did Jack use to do in his room? (No more than 12 words)
57. Why did Jack roll the black dial back and forth? (No more than 5 words)
58. How is Jack feeling now? (No more than 8 words)
59. What does the underlined word “eliminate” in Paragraph 4 mean? (1 word)
60. What should you do to solve the problem of losing direct contact with others? (No more than 20 words)

Dear David,
I've learned it from the Internet that you learned about the great changes of China’s reform and opening up in the past 40 years through the media and became such great interest in China.

How do you think?
I'm looking forward to your reply.
Yours sincerely,
Li Jin
