It was while working on these projects that the seeds were sown for the next new investment.“It was through my trip across Africa that I discovered pannier and rack systems inconvenient and I was never going to use them again.” Little did she know this would lead her to start up her own company. In 2013，Apidura was born，producing storage solutions for people looking to travel the world by bike，race across continents and carry all they need to do so.It’s now a successful global brand，but Fahey remains reflective about what else the company can do for people. 语篇解读　这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了渴望体验新事物的Tori Fahey辞掉了工作，在接受MBA学位教育期间去非洲进行了自行车旅行，还因此创办了自己的公司Apidura。 1．Why did Fahey leave her job in Canada?

A．Demanding. B．Liberating. C．Eventful. D．Dangerous. 答案　B 解析　推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Fahey said：‘Bicycles provide a literal freedom...’”以及“...you’re really free to experience what life is.”可推知，Fahey在非洲的骑行经历很自由。故选B。 3．Why did Fahey launch Apidura? A．To encourage bicycle traveling. B．To make her investment profitable. C．To help cyclists carry traveling stuff. D．To increase the pleasure of riding bikes. 答案　C 解析　细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“pannier and rack systems inconvenient”以及最后一段中的“In 2013，Apidura was born，producing storage solutions for people looking to...carry all they need to do so.”可知，Fahey创办Apidura是为了帮助骑自行车的人携带旅行物品。故选C。 4．What is the passage mainly about?

D．The story behind the birth of Apidura. 答案　D 解析　主旨大意题。文章主要讲述了Tori Fahey在非洲骑自行车旅行的途中发现自行车挂篮的不便，因此创办了自己的公司Apidura。所以文章主要讲述了Apidura诞生背后的故事，故选D。 B California is speeding up the launch of its robotaxi.Cars without drivers are already becoming a common sight on San Francisco’s winding and foggy streets with a lot of hills.But they’ve been limited in their areas and time of operation，and in some cases have had human safety monitors on board.Last week，California officials voted to remove most restrictions for the two leading self-driving car companies，Waymo and Cruise，letting them charge for rides anywhere in the city 24/7.It’s a critical moment for the industry，which has grown to more than 40 companies reaching millions of miles on public roads every year. If this is the future，it’s still a tough nut in progress.One San Francisco driverless vehicle rolled into an active fire scene and prevented firefighters from carrying out their work.Others have stopped dead in the middle of traffic.There were 93 reported traffic incidents involving robotaxis in March alone.California regulators shouldn’t be giving robotaxis a free pass.Driverless cars could make a difference to the city streets in the way gas-powered automobiles did a century ago.The objection to driverless cars has been similar，too.In San Francisco，one activist group has begun coning self-driving taxis—placing a simple orange cone(圆锥体) on the metal cover of the engine，which seems to “paralyze” an autonomous vehicle. “I wanted to love robotaxis，” said Elaine Moore in the Financial Times.“Eliminating human error would undoubtedly make roads safer.But then came the time I hailed a Cruise car.A few minutes into the journey，the car suddenly changed course，extending the estimated time to arrival for no reason.Then the car just stopped.We tried to exit but the doors remained locked.Although it was only for a few seconds，it still made me pause before I hopped in another robotaxi anytime soon.” “These horror stories remain the exception，” said Benjamin Schneider in the MIT Technology Review.“Over the past few years，Cruise and Waymo have added up to over a million driverless miles without accidents in major American cities.” At certain times in San Francisco，he estimated that 1 in 10 cars on the road has no driver behind the wheel.He was amazed that so few people are aware of how quickly this industry is advancing，or have considered the near-term labor and transportation impacts.Like it or not，robotaxis are here. 语篇解读　本文是一篇议论文。加利福尼亚正在加快推出自动驾驶出租车，自动驾驶汽车行业正处在关键时期，但不同的人对此有不同的看法，有人表示质疑，有人表示支持。 5．What does “this” refer to in the second paragraph? A．Restrictions will be cancelled for the self-driving cars. B．San Francisco’s streets will be upgraded by California regulators. C．Robotaxis will be in full wings in California around the clock. D．Millions of miles on public roads will be monitored every year. 答案　C 解析　代词指代题。根据第一段中的“Last week，California officials voted to remove...letting them charge for rides anywhere in the city 24/7.”可知，加利福尼亚州投票表决解除对自动驾驶出租车的大部分限制，允许其全天候全区域运营，由此可推测出，this指代前文提到的自动驾驶出租车即将在加利福尼亚州随时待命。故选C。 6．Why has one activist group begun coning self-driving taxis? A．To fight against the San Francisco government. B．To make the robotaxis unable to function properly. C．To push for technological progress in driverless cars. D．To imitate what gas-powered automobiles did a century ago. 答案　B 解析　细节理解题。根据第二段中的“In San Francisco，one activist group...cover of the engine，which seems to ‘paralyze’ an autonomous vehicle.”可知，该激进组织将圆锥形路标放在自动驾驶出租车的引擎盖上是为了不让它正常运转。故选B。 7．What is Benjamin Schneider’s attitude towards robotaxis? A．Favorable. B．Unclear. C．Skeptical. D．Opposed. 答案　A 解析　观点态度题。根据最后一段中Benjamin Schneider所说的话可知，在过去的几年里，Cruise和Waymo在美国主要城市累计行驶了100多万英里且没有发生事故，而且这一行业发展迅速，对劳动力和交通也产生了影响。由此可推测出，他对自动驾驶出租车持支持态度。故选A。 8．What’s the best title of the passage? A．Robotaxis：a Perfect Replacement of Gas Cars B．Robotaxis: an Immediate Launch of Driverless Cars C．Robotaxis: an Advanced Technology Around the World D．Robotaxis: a Tough Issue of Transportation in America 答案　B 解析　标题归纳题。通读全文可知，第一段首句“California is speeding up the launch of its robotaxi.”引出了话题，接着谈论了自动驾驶汽车行业的前景和面临的问题，再结合选项可推测出，B项“自动驾驶出租车：无人驾驶汽车的即将发布”最适合作文章标题。故选B。 Ⅱ.七选五(共5题；每小题2.5分，共12.5分) We often carry a lot of things when we’re traveling. 1 On long ones we carry things like passports，visas，etc.Though traveling can be fun，we’re likely to misplace these things and even lose them because of the excitement of the journey or being too busy or tired.So how can we carry valuable things safely while traveling？ 2 Place most of it in a wallet and put the wallet in your main suitcase or bag with a lock-and-key system.Don’t open it until you reach your destination(目的地)．Guess how much money you’ll need on the journey，and place this money in a different wallet and carry this in your pocket. 3 Next，instead of wearing your jewelry，you can carry your jewelry at the bottom of your suitcase or bag. 4 Many people think that since the purse is always going to be in their hands，it’ll remain safe.But other things like tickets，phone numbers，keys，etc.，are all going to go in there.So you’re often going to open your purse for something or the other.What if you just drop it? Then remember to hook(钩住) the keys.You get those really nice key chains these days that come with a big dog-hook. 5 Use one of these to carry your keys.This way，you won’t leave the keys in a restaurant or any other place.

Though the waters surrounding the sculptures now appear a pristine blue，the seabed was filled with old boat engines，pipes，and other human-made trash when the project began about four years ago.Besides removing the trash，Taylor also restored the area’s seagrass.Just one square meter of the seagrass can generate up to 10 liters of oxygen daily.The seagrass also helps prevent coastal erosion and provides habitats for many ocean creatures. “The idea of creating an underwater museum was to draw more people underwater and develop a sense of care and protection，” Taylor told Dezeen.“If we threw unwanted waste near a forest，there would be a public outcry.But this is happening every day in our surrounding waters and it largely goes unnoticed.” 语篇解读　本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲了Taylor创建水下博物馆的初衷以及该项目所产生的积极影响。 1．What are the underwater museums intended to do? A．To make huge profits. B．To raise awareness of protecting the ocean. C．To show Jason Taylor’s talent. D．To draw attention to endangered sea animals. 答案　B 解析　细节理解题。根据第二段Taylor所说的话可知，水下博物馆旨在提高人们保护海洋的意识。故选B。 2．Why does the outer part of the sculptures look like a mask? A．To popularize the features of the locals. B．To remind people to protect themselves. C．To reflect people’s protection of the ocean. D．To stress the sensitiveness of the ecosystem. 答案　D 解析　细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The mask indicates that the world’s oceans appear powerful and unbeatable from the surface but house an ecosystem that is extremely fragile to careless human activities.”可知，雕塑的外部看起来像一个面具是为了强调生态系统的敏感性。故选D。 3．What’s Paragraph 4 mainly about? A．How the project was started. B．How the seagrass was restored. C．What recovery effort the project made. D．Why the surroundings were improved. 答案　C 解析　段落大意题。根据第四段中“Besides removing the trash，Taylor also restored the area’s seagrass.”可知，该段主要讲了该项目对海洋环境的恢复做出了很大的努力。故选C。 4．What can we infer from what Jason Taylor said in the last paragraph? A．The situation of the ocean is easily ignored. B．The destruction caused to the ocean is noticeable. C．Forests play a more important role in ecosystems. D．People have zero tolerance to damage done to nature. 答案　A 解析　推理判断题。最后一段中Taylor讲道：如果我们在森林附近扔垃圾，会引起公众的强烈抗议。但这种情况每天都在我们周围的水域发生，而且很大程度上被忽视了。由此可推断出，Taylor想表达的观点是：海洋的处境很容易被忽视。故选A。 B Research into social robots has shown that machines that are at the cutting edge of interaction can respond to feelings and emotionally care for the weak, the elderly and children. Robin was designed as a companion robot to provide emotional support for children receiving medical treatment.Robin explains medical procedures to them, plays games and tells stories, and during treatment distracts them to reduce their sense of pain.The robot uses AI to understand other people’s feelings, remembering facial expressions and conversations to build dialogue for follow-up sessions.In trials at the Wigmore Medical(UK) Pediatric Clinic in Yerevan, Armenia, the team found that Robin led to a 34% decrease in stress and an increase in happiness of 26% in the 120 children who interacted with him at least once. Healthcare robots could all benefit from displaying emotional intelligence, both recognizing and responding to human emotions, and to some extent, managing them.The problem with this is the fear that human jobs may be lost as robots become better at handling social situations. Population trends suggest that the demand for robots to work alongside people in care situations will grow over time.By 2050, the number of people aged 65 and over globally will be 1.6 billion(17%), roughly twice the proportion of what it is today.An extra 3.5 million care workers will be needed and that will include emotionally intelligent robots. Today’s simple systems are being trained to meet that demand.This includes a little wheeled robot that can guess how you are feeling from the way you walk, and the robot from the University of Lincoln in the UK—who helps elderly people to stay physically and mentally active. The impact of social robots on our lives to date has been tiny.But new models are being introduced that could make the breakthrough.Human emotions are difficult to define, but as trust in robots increases, breaking down the psychological barrier becomes easier to imagine. 语篇解读　本文为一篇说明文。文章介绍了对社交机器人的研究，作者认为用社交机器人来看护将会是一个不可阻挡的有益的趋势。 5．What are social robots uniquely capable of? A．Lifting heavy packages upstairs for weak people. B．Comforting mentally ill teens during treatment. C．Cooking delicious dishes for the disabled at home. D．Playing songs for blind people on their request. 答案　B 解析　推理判断题。根据第一段“Research into social robots has shown that machines that are at the cutting edge of interaction can respond to feelings and emotionally care for the weak, the elderly and children.”可知，社交机器人可以对情绪(feelings)作出回应并在情感上(emotionally)关爱弱者、老年人和小孩，这是它的独特之处，故选B项。 6．What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A．Robin’s function to reduce pain. B．Robin’s popularity in hospitals. C．Robin’s practical application. D．Robin’s success in passing tests. 答案　C 解析　段落大意题。根据第二段“Robin was designed as a companion robot to provide emotional support...the team found that Robin led to a 34% decrease in stress and an increase in happiness...”归纳可知，本段介绍了Robin这款机器人的实际用途及其效果。故选C项。 7．How is paragraph 4 developed? A．By concluding viewpoints. B．By analyzing causes. C．By making comparison. D．By giving definition. 答案　B 解析　写作手法题。根据第四段“Population trends suggest that the demand for robots...intelligent robots.”可知，本段的中心句为第一句：人口趋势表明机器人与护理人员一起工作的需求将会逐步增长。接着阐述了原因：未来老龄化的加剧将导致护理人员和社交机器人需求的增加。因此，第四段是通过分析原因展开的。故选B项。 8．What does the author think of human job replacement by robots? A．It is already happening throughout UK. B．It’s an unstoppable and beneficial trend. C．Robots can only meet basic human needs. D．Humans need to work hard to secure jobs. 答案　B 解析　推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Population trends suggest that the demand for robots to work alongside people in care situations will grow over time.”可知，随着社会发展，机器人在护理工作中的需求会持续增长；最后一段中的“But new models are being introduced that could make the breakthrough...becomes easier to imagine.”也强调这一趋势的可能性，可推测作者认为机器代替人类工作的趋势无可阻挡，且对人类有益，故选B项。 Ⅱ.完形填空(共15题；每小题1分，共15分) “Ladies and gentlemen，the time train has arrived at the terminal！” It felt like I had woken up from a dream， 1 soon discovered I had come to 2035.Suddenly，I heard a strange voice calling my name.I turned around，only to find a robot 2 to me enthusiastically.“I’ll show you around the city in 2035！” I nodded immediately， 3 what the city would be like.
