Knightscope says the goal is to reduce crime by half in areas the robots guard.William Santana Li is the chief executive officer of Knightscope. He says, “These robot security guards will change the world. Our planet has seven billion people on it. Its going to quickly get to nine billion people. The security equipment that we have globally is just not going to develop that fast. The panys Autonomous Data Machines can bee the eyes and ears of law enforcement (执行)”“You want it to be machines plus humans. Let the machines do the heavy and sometimes dangerous work and let the humans do the strategic decisionmaking work, so its always working all together.”The machines are one and a half meters tall and weigh 136 kilograms. They do not carry weapons but they have day and night time video cameras which are able to turn 360 degrees and can also sense chemical and biological weapons.Some people may bee concerned about their privacy, especially in connection with the video recordings. Some people may worry that such recordings will appear on the Internet. Eugene Volokh, a law professor at the University of California, says the machines have to be used in the right way and it will be interesting to see how state laws deal with this kind of video.William Santana Li says there is a long waiting list for the robots in the US. Workers in the pany are working overtime to meet the demands of the market. At least 25 other countries are also interested in these robotic security guards.25What can this new tool do for humans?AMake strategic decisions.BKeep watching day and night.CCarry heavy weapons.DStop crime autonomously.26Why are people worried?ATheir privacy may be let out.BThe robots are very expensive.CRobots will replace humans.DThey will be out of work soon.27Which of the following can be the best title of the text?ARobots Are Being More PopularBRobots Contribute a Lot to the WorldCRobots Are in Great Demand NowDSecurity Robots Could Help Cut CrimeCI dont think I can recall a time when I wasnt aware of the beauty of the ocean. Growing up in Australia, I had the good fortune of having the sea at my side. The first time I went to Halfmoon Bay, I suddenly had the feeling of not being able to feel the ground with my feet anymore.For my 10th birthday, my sister and I were taken out to the Great Barrier Reef. There were fish in different colors, caves and layers of coral. They made such an impression on me. When I learned that only 1 percent of Australias Coral Sea was protected, I was shocked. Australian marine (海洋的) life is particularly important because the reefs have more marine species than any other country on earth. But sadly, only 45% of the worlds reefs are considered healthy.This statistic is depressing, so its important for us to do everything to protect them. The hope that the Coral Sea remains a plete ecosystem has led me to take action. Ive bee involved with the Protect Our Coral Sea activity, which aims to create the largest marine park in the world. It would serve as a place where the oceans species will all have a safe place forever.Together, Angus and I created a little video and we hope it will inspire people to be part of the movement. Angus also shares many beautiful childhood memories of the ocean as a young boy, who grew up sailing, admiring the beauty of the ocean, and trying to find the secrets of ocean species.28What can we learn about the author from the underlined sentence in Para. 1?Aseldom went surfing at the seaBforgot his experiences about the oceanCnever went back to his hometownDhad a wonderful impression of Halfmoon Bay29 What is Australian marine life like according to the second paragraph?AIt is escaping from the Coral Sea graduallyBIt depends on reefs for living greatlyCIt may be faced with dangerDIt is protected better than that in other oceans30. Whats the purpose of The Protect Our Coral Sea activity?AIt is intended to contribute to a plete ecosystemBIt is intended to prevent more marine species being endangeredCIt is intended to set up a large nature reserve for reefsDIt is intended to raise more teenagers environmental awareness31. Why do Angus and the author create a little video?ATo urge more people to take action to protect the marine speciesBTo inspire more people to explore the secret of the oceanCTo share their childhood experiences about the oceanDTo bring back to people their memory of ocean speciesDFor high school leavers starting out in the working world, it is very important to learn particular skills and practice how to behave in an interview or how to find all internship(实习). In some countries, schools have programs to help students onto the path to work. In the United States, however, such programs are still few and far between.Research shows that if high schools provide career-related courses, students are likely to get higher earnings in later years. In Germany, students as young as 13 and 14 are expected to do internships. German panies work with schools to make sure that young people get the education they need for future employment. But in America, education reform (改革) programs focus on how well students do in exams instead of bringing them into contact with the working world. Harvard Education school professor Robert Schwartz has criticized education reformers for trying to place all graduates directly on the four-year college track. Schwartz argued that this approach leaves the countrys most vulnerable(易受影响的) kids with no jobs and no skills. Schwartz believed that the best career programs encourage kids to go for higher education while also teaching them valuable practical skills at high school. James Madison High School in New York, for example, encourages students to choose classes on career-based courses. The school then helps them gain on-the-job experience in those fields while theyre still at high school. However, even for teens whose schools encourage them to connect with work, the job market is daunting. In the US, unemployment rates for 16-to 19-year-olds are above 20 percent for the third summer in a row. “The risk is that if teenagers miss out on the summer job experience, they bee part of this generation of teens who had trouble in landing a job,” said Michael, a researcher in the US.32. Whats the main idea of the text?A. Arguments about recent US education reform.B. Tips on finding jobs for high school leavers.C. The lack of career-based courses in US high schools.D. Advice for American high school leavers. 33. According to Robert Schwartz, _. A. there is no need for kids to go for higher education in the USB. teenagers in the US cant miss out on the summer job experienceC. education reform should focus on students performance in examsD. students should get contact with the working world at high school 34. The underlined word “daunting” in Paragraph 5 most probably means _. A. discouragingB. interestingC. creativeD. unbearable35. What can be inferred from the text?A. High school leavers with no practical skills cant find a job at all.B. Unemployment rates for US teenagers remain high at the moment.C. Students with career-based courses never have problems finding a job.D. US panies work with schools to prepare young people for future employment.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。What is a big dream? _36_Or, is a big dream something that provides only entertainment? Children dream big dreams, but there are three barriers to realizing dreams.They often kill them before they ever have a chance to grow.The SelfImmediately following the birth of a big dream, a negative selftalk takes over and gives all the reasons why it cannot happen. This inside voice is the ego (自我). It s there for protecting and should be listened to._37_ Most people are influenced by the inside voice. Thats why only a handful of people make their dream e true._38_Family and friends are a lot like the ego. They want to protect those they love, so they will often list all the reasons why the big dreams wont e true. Sometimes, family and friends destroy dreams of those they love most, out of their own fear of being left behind.The WorldIf one gets past the first two barriers, one has to face the world._39_In the past, big dreamers were locked up and sometimes even killed when they were shown to the world. Fortunately, in most of the world today, big dreamers just get laughed at.The way to realize a big dream is with confidence and action. When children have confidence and then take action, they will be ready to accept any failure. The truth is that every great dreamer whose dreams have never seen the light of success knows failure well._40_ AFamily and FriendsBHow Big Dreams DieCDoes a big dream show ones future?DThey simply fail until they succeed.EIt is the last and the most terrible barrier.FSometimes it is right, but more often it is wrong.GAnd their big dream is to be a rock star or a famous artist.第三部分 英语知识运用 （共两节，满分40分）完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）One rainy afternoon I was sitting at home feeling so bored. _41_ feeling sorry for myself, I wanted to meet people and have new _42_ so I decided to start volunteering.
