It is made up of “motor” and “hotel” and it is really a hotel for people who arrive by car (however, you dont need a car to stay at one). You have to pay when you arrive for your room, which usually has abath. Meals are not provided, but there will certainly be a cafeteria (自助餐馆). Americans eat alot of salads and sandwiches. Along the main roads there are a lot of motels. Each tries to offer more than next. Some provide television in every bedroom; others have swimming pools; and so on. Motels are especially useful when you are in the country, far from a town or city. You will also find them in the big National Parks.In these great National Parks, you may meet guests you dont expect to see. An American friend told me a little story. In the middle of a moonless night she heard strange noises outside her motel window in the Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming. Thinking it might be a thief, she jumped out of bed, opened the door and crept towards a dark shadow. As she got close, she saw the thief. She was dreadfully frightened: it wasnt a human thief it was a big black bear. The bear was turning over some empty tins with its paw, looking for tasty bits of food. My friend decided to leave that particular thief alone!There are also, of course, places called “rooming houses”, where they receive lodgers (房客). You will see such signs as Tourists or Rooms Rent, and you could try one of these. A word of warning looking for a room in New York during the tourist season is like looking for gold on the moon! Which of the following is TRUE about motels?They are free for people who arrive by car.The word “motel” is formed by two words.You can only find motels in the big National Parks.If you want to stay at a motel, you must have a car.The underlined word “crept” in the second paragraph probably means“”.moved slowlyB. rushed outC. ran fastD. threw awayThe second paragraph mainly tells us.an interesting storybears usually look for food at nightthe experience of the authors friendwe may meet animals in the National ParksFrom the last paragraph, we can learn that in New York during the tourist season.tourists can find gold thereit is difficult to find a room theretourists can have a sweet dream therethere is warning for tourists to New YorkBMr. Peter Johnson, aged twenty-three, battled for half an hour to escape from his trapped car yesterday when it landed upside down in three feet of water. Mr. Johnson took the only escape routethrough the boot (行李箱).Mr. Johnsons car had finished up in a ditch (沟渠) at Romney Marsin, Kent, after skiddingon ice and hitting a bank. “Fortunately, the water began to e in only slowly,” Mr. Johnson said, “I couldnt force the doors because they were jammed against the walls of the ditch and dared not open the windows because I knew water would e flooding in.”Mr. Johnson, a sweet salesman of Sitting Home, Kent, first tried to attract the attention of other motorists by sounding the horn and hammering on the roof and boot. Then he began his struggle to escape.Later he said, “It was really a half penny that saved my life. It was the only coin I had in my pocket and I used it to unscrew the back seat to get into the boot. I hammered desperately with a hammer trying to make someone hear, but no help came.”It took ten minutes to unscrew the seat, and a further five minutes to clear the sweet samples from the boot. Then Mr. Johnson found a wrench(扳钳) and began to work on the boot lock.Fifteen minutes passed by. “It was the only chance I had. Finally it gave, but as soon as I moved the boot lid, the water and mud poured in. I forced the lid down into the mud and scrambled clear as the car filled up.”His hands and arms cut and bruised，Mr. Johnson got to Beckett Farm nearby, where he waslooked after by the farmers wife, Mrs. Lucy Bates. Trembling in a blanket, he said, “That thirty minutes seemed like hours.” Only the tips of the car wheels were visible, police said last night. The vehicle had sunk into two feet of mud at the bottom of the ditch.In which section of a newspaper can we read this article?A. Book reviewB. News reportC. Campus life D. Continued storyThe underlined sentence in Paragraph 5 “Finally it gave” means that.the lock came open after all his effortsB. at last the wrench went brokenC. luckily the door was torn away in the endD. the chance was lost at the last minuteIt can be inferred from the passage that.the ditch was along a quiet country roadthe accident happened on a clear warm daythe police helped Mr. Johnson get out of the ditchMr. Johnson had a tender wife and was well attendedCThe term “Industry 4.0” refers to the fourth industrial revolution. The first industrial revolution was the production of goods with machines like steam engines, which was followed by the second industrial revolution that introduced mass production with the help of electric power,followed by the digital revolution the use of electronics and IT in production.Industry 4.0 is a high-tech project, which promotes the puterization of manufacturing (制 造业). The basic principle of Industry 4.0 is that by connecting machines, work pieces and systems, we are creating intelligent networks along the entire value chain that can control eachother automatically. The goal is the Smart Factory, which adapts well and uses resources efficiently, as well as linking customers and business partners with great intelligence. Technological basis are the Internet systems and advanced factories. Experts believe that Industry4.0 could be a reality in about 10 to 20 years.So, what effects does this change have on the classic manufacturing? According to an expert, “it is highly likely that the world of production will bee more and more networked until everything is connected with everything else.” Networks and processes have so far been limited toone factory. But in the time of Industry 4.0, the boundaries (界限) of individual factories will mostlikely no longer exist. Instead, they will be lifted in order to inter-connect multiple factories or even geographical regions.How is an Industry 4.0 factory different from a todays factory? In current industry environment, providing high-end quality service or product with the least cost is the key to success. Factories are trying to increase their profit as much as possible. In the time of Industry 4.0, various data sources are available to provide worthwhile information about different aspects of the factory. Using data for understanding the current condition and checking faults and failures is a natural thing. The sharing of information around the clock and around the globe will enable these connected systems to manage themselves independently, work more efficiently and identify any errors quickly.The good news is that Europe is much better prepared for the Industry 4.0 revolution than one might think. Europe will position itself as a pioneer in the fourth revolution. Industry 4.0 is a project in the high-tech strategy of the German government. Meanwhile, in the U.S., some panies are also working hard on it. But the success of industry depends on whether business and politics can work together. Its not only politics that needs to help open the door for Industry4.0. Every pany is advised to seize the new digital opportunities.Industry 4.0 will probably result inin the world of manufacturing.production limited to an individual factoryeverything connected with everything elsenetworks and processes no longer existingclassic factories stopping their petitionAccording to the last paragraph, who is the most active in pushing Industry 4.0?The European panies.B. The American government.C. The American panies.D. The German government.The writers attitude toward Industry 4.0 can best be described as.supportiveB. negativeC. doubtfulD. cautious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。选项中有两项是多余选项。 Life can be so busy these days. Its time that you all should admit that you need help in organizing your life. Here are some tips that will help you.Write everything down and dont rely on your memory.26If you want toremember things, put them in writing, or in a digital notebook. Keeping your to-do lists and other information written somewhere allows you to look back at them anytime, even when youve hit your head and forgotten your own name.27Try this experiment: before buying one thing, throw out something old orsomething you dont use any more. Or, if youre a really terrible pack rat, just throw out one old thing a day until you cant find any more items to throw.Recycle and donate. Is your closet full of unopened bags and clothes that still have their tags on them? Is your bookshelf full of unread books? Chances are that if you havent read, worn, orused them, then youre probably not going to use them at all.28Create daily, weekly and monthly timetables for cleaning. Organize your cleaning timetables.29Distribute tasks evenly, for example, dish washing could be done daily whilevacuuming could be done weekly and cleaning windows done monthly.Whichever of these tasks you decide to do, remember that you cant pletely organizeyour life in one go.30Just decide to organize now, and then take baby steps. Soonenough, you will be making a habit of it.Practice putting things away immediately.Throw one thing before buying something.Most of us have a tough time remembering things.Its a long and never-ending process, so be patient.Its extremely exhausting to clean everything all at once.To keep up with tasks, you need to work with your family.You can either give them to a charity or sell them on the Internet.第三部分： 语言运用（共两节，满分 45 分）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 A、B、C 和 D 四个选项中，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。Never been on an airplane?
