Managers create routes the day before, and then hand printouts to drivers to follow or import them into the hand－held devices. But when drivers get stuck in traffic jams while on their rounds, they’re simply out of luck and behind schedule. The same thing happens if there’s a surprise snowstorm that makes roads impassable. Wise Systems, a Boston start－up, is dealing with this age－old problem by pairing machine learning with data collected from drivers’ mobile phones. It deals with information like the driver’s driving speed and location with other details including traffic, weather, where the orders are being delivered, and when customers are available to receive their orders. What emerges is a delivery journey that can be tweaked on the fly depending on any complications that come up. If the technology determines that a driver will miss a scheduled stop because of road closures, for example, it will change the schedule for the entire day. If that’s not possible, the driver will receive reminders on his or her mobile phone as a not－so－hidden clue to pick up the pace. The goal of the technology is to create routes that allow drivers to work more quickly and effectively, which companies put more and more effort into now as they fight for customers who expect their orders almost immediately. By doing so, companies can save money by increasing the number of deliveries that drivers can make during shifts and make customers happier by raising the likelihood that their orders will arrive on time, or be delivered by the driver they prefer. 1. What are the features of the commonly used delivery routes? A. Prepared and fixed. B. Inaccurate and outdated. C. High－cost but convenient. D. Time－saving but complex. 2. What does the underlined word “tweaked” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Monitored. B. Stopped. C. Adjusted. D. Predicted. 3. What is becoming increasingly important for companies? A. Order volume. B. Customer satisfaction. C. Decreases in costs. D. Increases in efficiency. 4. What’s the purpose of the text? A. To advertise a company. B. To introduce a new technology. C. To compare different route plans. D. To discuss problems with delivery. B Many people list hiccups(打嗝) as one of the most annoying problems that are associated with humans. For a group of people, continuous or reoccurring hiccups can seriously affect their quality of life. The question “What causes hiccups？” is one of the most searched medical questions. Dr Ali Seifi, an associate professor of the University of Texas Health Science Center, was tired of the traditional methods of removing hiccups, like drinking water or adjusting breathing. He then came up with the idea that a straw could help interrupt hiccups. The straw, which goes by the marketing name of HiccAway, requires more suction power(吸力) than a regular straw when people drink through it. Drinking through this straw can excite the “Phrenic” and “Vagus” nerves at the same time, allowing the brain to stop hiccups. Dr James Alvarez from the University of Texas at Arlington conducted a study on HiccAway. He gathered 249 volunteers to test the straw. About 92% of the participants said that HiccAway helped their hiccups go away. When it comes to effectiveness, this straw received a score of 4.58 out of 5. About 90% of the participants rated it more effective than traditional methods. A majority of the participants reported they only experienced hiccups occasionally, while about 11 reported daily hiccups, and 53 reported that they suffered from hiccups weekly. The frequent sufferers reported back success rates that were consistently as high as those from people who didn’t suffer from them as often. However, hiccups are an issue where placebo effect(安慰剂效应) could likely come into play. A lot of people swear by solutions that might not work for others. It is not clear how this trial could be conducted in a more scientific way. 5. Why is the question mentioned in the first paragraph? A. To introduce the harm of hiccups. B. To explain the reasons for hiccups. C. To provide the treatment for hiccups. D. To show the commonness of hiccups. 6. What can be inferred about HiccAway? A. It works quite well in the study. B. It will go on sale in the near future. C. It is as convenient as other straws. D. It is more effective for frequent sufferers. 7. Which aspect of the study is discussed in the end? A. The finding. B. The limitation. C. The application. D. The significance. 8. What is the main idea of the text? A. Hiccups cause widespread human suffering. B. Researchers unlock the secrets of hiccups. C. HiccAway could be a solution to hiccups. D. Hiccups would be nothing to worry about. 三.完形填空 The morning had been a disaster.

Can’t you see things from my point of view？’”可知，二人发生了争吵。 2. 答案　C 解析　根据上文中的“My tooth was aching”可知，此时我感到了疼痛。 3. 答案　D 解析　根据下文中的“I started calling the dentists in the phone book”可知，我疼痛难忍，于是给牙医打电话。unbearable“难以忍受的”。 4. 答案　B 解析　根据语境可知，没有牙医可以马上给我看病，到大约午饭的时候，我终于等来了好运。 5. 答案　A 解析　根据下文中的“I rushed out to my car.”可知，接待员告诉我如果我现在过去，牙医就能为我安排诊疗。fit in“找到时间(见某人、做某事)”。 6. 答案　A 解析　根据下文中的两个问题可知，我对牙医产生了怀疑。 7. 答案　C 解析　结合常识可知，牙医是为人们诊疗的。treat“医治，治疗”。 8. 答案　B 解析　结合语境可知，此处是说我在怀疑这名牙医为什么没有像其他人那样忙碌。 9. 答案　D 解析　根据下文中的“my nervousness”可知，牙医诊所空白的墙加深了我的担忧。 10. 答案　A 解析　根据下文中的“placed her warm hand on my icy one”可知，助理察觉到了我的不安，用自己温暖的手握住了我冰冷的手。 11. 答案　B 解析　根据上文中的“Don’t worry. The dentist is very good.”可知，助理看出我的不安，便安慰我说牙医很好，不用担心，躺下放松即可。 12. 答案　D 解析　根据语境可知，我去看牙，助理却让我欣赏艺术作品，这让我很困惑。 13. 答案　C 解析　根据上文可知，我躺下之后看到了一张漂亮的图画，因此这张图是在天花板上。 14. 答案　A 解析　结合语境和常识可知，为了让病人放松，牙医特意在天花板上挂了一张漂亮的图画，这说明他很体贴。 15. 答案　C 解析　结合文章开头和尾段可知，此时此刻我终于明白了朋友的意思。 四．语法填空答案与解析 【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。研究发现月球曾经的磁场保护了地球，使其免受太阳的威胁。 1. 答案　planet’s 解析　考查名词所有格。此处意为“我们星球的月亮”，故填planet’s。本句中的long since意为“很久以前”。 2. 答案　brought 解析　考查动词－ed形式作定语的用法。设空处作后置定语修饰rocks，且bring与rocks之间是逻辑上的动宾关系，故填brought。本句中的sth of note是固定搭配，意为“值得注意的某物”。 3. 答案　when 解析　考查关系副词。设空处引导非限制性定语从句修饰“between 4.2 and 3.4 billion years ago”，且在从句中作时间状语，故填when。 4. 答案　did 解析　考查一般过去时。设空处强调谓语动词have，且根据“that was at least as strong as Earth’s is today”可知，have所表示的状态发生在过去，故填did。 5. 答案　discovery 解析　考查名词。设空处前有限定词this，且意为“发现”，故填discovery。 6. 答案　possibly 解析　考查副词。设空处修饰介词短语for hundreds of millions of years，故填副词possibly。 7. 答案　the 解析　考查冠词。设空处限定Earth，故填the。 8. 答案　more 解析　考查比较级。根据“than”可知，此处需填many的比较级形式more。 9. 答案　making 解析　考查动词－ing形式作状语的用法。设空处作状语，且This与make之间是逻辑上的主谓关系，故填making。 10. 答案　for 解析　考查介词。the hunt for ...是固定搭配，意为“搜索”。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
