Employees can get high salaries.BOh my God, the robots are taking over! Were doomed! Doomed! Now that Ive gotten that out of my system, its bee clear that while we may or may not be doomed, the robots are taking over. The latest example is the governments new guidelines for self-driving cars.Tesla, Google and Uber are already testing driverless cars in cities across America. Uber chief executive Travis Kalanick is among those predicting that by 2021, self-driving cars will play a big part in urban settings.Nearly 40,000 people died last year in this nation in automobile-related accidents, and we believe driverless cars can save tens of thousands of lives annually.It makes sense. Robot drivers are less likely to get drunk, drive without a license, text while driving or feel agitated at the scene of a traffic jam. On the other hand, I wonder how these highly sensitive cars will react with walkers constantly dashing into the street. Will they jam on the brakes every 10 seconds?But theres a bigger picture. Not only are robots replacing humans behind the wheel, but behind the work desk, in warehouses, senior homes, you name it. Robots arent just taking over in the workplace.The question is, where cant a robot function better than a human? How about writing songs? A robot can go through every bination of notes in record time and e up with a pleasing melody. The lyrics might be a different story. Is a Grammy-winning song co-written by Hank Human and R-3071 in our future?Finally, its only a matter of time until we have robot politicians and presidential candidates. Why not? They can be programmed to be experts in world and domestic affairs and e up with the best solutions without corruption and bad humors.Actually, its too bad such technology isnt available in xx. Pretty sure the robot would win in a landslide.24. What does the underlined word “agitated” in Paragraph 4 mean?A. Exhausted. B. Embarrassed. C. Disappointed. D. Anxious.25. What doubt does the writer have about self-driving cars?A. How passengers behave in it. B. How robot drivers get the license.C. How they respond to walkers on a busy street. D. How they avoid crashing into other cars.26. The last question asked in Paragraph 6 reflects the writers .A. eagerness to listen to songs written by robots B. doubt about robots ability to write songsC. confidence in robots winning Grammy Awards D. curiosity about the future Grammy songs27. What might be the most suitable title for the text?A. Robots will control the world in every field. B. Robots can drive cars and write music.C. Robots are being used in our daily life. D. Robots are ing but not soon enough.CPeople who play puter games to train their brains might as well be playing Super Mario, new research suggests.In a six-week study, experts found people who played online games designed to improve their cognitive(认知的) skills didnt get any smarter.More than 8,600 people aged 18 to 60 were asked to play online brain games designed by the researchers to improve their memory, reasoning and other skills, for at least 10 minutes a day, three times a week.They were pared to more than 2,700 people who didnt play any brain games, but spent a similar amount of time surfing the Internet. All participants were given an “IQ test” before and after the experiment.Researchers said the people who did the brain training didnt do any better on the test after six weeks than people who had simply been on the Internet.“If youre(playing these games) because theyre fun, thats absolutely fine,” said Adrian Owen, assistant director at Britains Medical Research Council. “But if youre expecting these games to improve your IQ, our data suggests this isnt the case.”puter games that are supposed to improve memory, reasoning and other cognitive skills are played by millions of people worldwide, though few studies have examined if the games work.“There is precious little evidence to suggest the skills used in these games transfer to the real world,” said Art Kramer, a professor of psychology at the University of Illinois, US.Instead of playing brain games, Kramer said people would be better off getting some exercise. He said physical activity can help produce new brain cells.Other experts said brain games might be useful, but only if they werent fun.“If you set the level for these games to a very high level where you dont get the answers very often and it really annoys you, then it may be useful,” said Philip Adey, a professor of psychology at Kings College in London.If people are enjoying the brain games, Adey said they probably arent being challenged and might as well be playing a regular video game.He said people should consider learning a new language or sport if they really want to improve their brain power. “To stimulate(激发) the intellect, you need a real challenge,” Adey said, “Getting smart is hard work.”28. According to the article, which of the following is NOT useful to develop brain power?A. Learning a languageB. Getting some physical exerciseC. Playing challengeable gamesD. playing fun games29. What can we infer from the first two paragraphs?A. Playing brain games is as effective a means of improving the brain as Super MarioB. Playing Super Mario is a better means of improving the brainC. Playing brain games cant improve cognitive skillsD. Playing puter games can train the brain30. Which of the following statements is true?A. Many studies show that brain games are an effective means of improving cognitive skillsB. The skills used in brain games can be transferred to real lifeC. Participants took IQ test twice during the research on the effectiveness of brain gamesD. Surfing the Internet is a more effective means of improving cognitive skills than video games31. Which is another way of summing up Adeys argument in the last paragraph?A. Practice makes perfectB. Where there is a will, there is a wayC. No pains, no gainsD. A bad beginning makes a bad endingDFrom July to October every year, about a quarter of the worlds blue whales feed in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of California. But the whales currently face a major threat in their favorite feeding area. Ships carrying cargo (货物)sail in the same area at the same time. All too often, the whales paths and the ships travel lines overlap (重叠), and a ship will hit a whale. According to a new study, these ship strikes have bee a serious threat to the overall population of the worlds blue whales. Only about 10,000 of the creatures still exist worldwide. Blue whales are the largest known animals ever to live on Earth. Even so, if hit by a container ship, a blue whale will likely die from its injuries.In xx alone, large ships killed five blue whales in the waters off San Francisco and Los Angeles, California. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) says that because there are so few whales already, losing three to five from the California whale population every year is a significant loss. “The estimated population of blue whales in this part of the Pacific is 2,500”, says Sean Hastings, a NOAA analyst. “So every whale counts toward this species moving off the endangered-species list.”Now, marine scientists must figure out how to protect the whales from the giant container ships. One very simple program is already under way in the Santa Barbara Channel, a waterway that separates mainland California from the nearby Channel Islands.The Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary has asked large container ships passing through the area to voluntarily slow down. Sailing slower will allow the ships crew (船员)more time to change course before hitting a whale.Several of the worlds largest shipping lines are set to participate in the new program. For every ship that passes through the Santa Barbara Channel at or below the reduced speed of 12 knots (海里/小时), the pany that owns the ship will be paid $2,500.32. From Paragraph 1, we can know that_.A. people intend to illegally hunt blue whales for moneyB. large ships often carrying goods may pollute the seaC. the container ships may hit the blue whales frequentlyD. there is fewer fish in blue whales favorite feeding area33. Why is the death of several whales regarded as significant loss to the worlds blue whales?A. Because the number of the blue whales is so small.B. Because other blue whales will be scared away.C. Because blue whales are the largest animals in the world.D. Because many blue whales get killed throughout the year.34. According to Sean Hastings, its inferred that .A. the number of the blue whales is decreasing sharply.B. the blue whales are still on the endangered-species list.C. most of the worlds blue whales live in the Pacific Ocean.D. blue whales are often disturbed by other endangered creatures.35. What are the last three paragraphs mainly about?A. The basic responsibility of a sailor. B. Measures to protect the blue whales.C. The worlds largest shipping lines. D. Ways to slow down the speed of the ships.第二节(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。 36 I say this a lot because its important: you need to walk more. There are a few main reasons why Im so fond of walking, also known as moving frequently at a slow pace. 37 Walking might not be as effective as other forms of exercise, but frequent walking will help anyone with two functioning legs that allow movement who would otherwise meld into the couch lose some body fat.Its good for your brain.Walking does much more than work the area underneath your neck. The farther an older person can walk in six minutes, the better he or she performs on memory and logic tests. Folks who perform poorly on the walking test tend to have reduced grey matter volume in certain sections of their brains.It reduces stress. 38 Go for a walk, preferably in a natural setting. For me, its the beach of the Malibu hills. For others, it might be the woods or even a park.It prevents falls in the elderly.Walking on uneven, natural ground like hiking trails,improves balance and reduces falls in the elderly. 39 The earlier you start habitually walking, the better your ability to navigate the land without falling will be.It gives you a chance to think.When we walk, we think. And because walking is a low-difficulty effort, we can direct our executive functioning to more internal matters. We work through problems, e up with ideas, replay conversations, scheme, and discover solutions. 40 A. It modestly reduces body fat.B. It lowers blood pressure, especially after meals.C. Dont wait until youre already at risk of falling, though.D. What do I do when I need to get away from a particularly stressful day?E. Try to keep the walk as close to the meal as possible to aid in weight loss.F. Even though some of you may be tired of me saying this, it needs saying.G. Or maybe we just think about that funny dog we saw on the way to work the other day.第三部分英语知识运用(共两节,满分45分)第一节完形填空(共20小题;每小题1.5分,满分30分)阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。并在答题卡上将该项涂黑It was a dark day, one of depression, sorrow and anger. As I climbed out of the 41 , after witnessing my time in the 100 yard freestyle, I did not feel like speaking to anyone.

At practice the next day, I told my swimming teammates about my goal time and they all either laughed or replied with a _47_ similar response like, “You cant do it” or “Probably not”.

I felt the cool water running _52_ my back. I swam like a fish, bouncing off each _53_ at the wall as if it was a spring board. On the _54_ turn, I came back to the wall with every piece of strength I had. I _55_ the final wall with my fingertips and knew that I had swum the _56_ race.I had done it! I had achieved my best time! Joy filled my _57_ like water does a cup. I saw the _58_ on all of my friends faces as I _59_ out of the pool: their jaws dropped to the ground. I began to laugh and gave them thumbs up.I have _60_ in life that having belief in yourself opens all gates.
