And in December, a single event killed more than 2000 people in the Philippines. Sending workers to stabilize mountainsides using steel bars can help a lot, but it introduces new difficulties because of dust and loosen heavy, dangerous debris from the work. Its a quite dangerous job, says Giorgio Pezzuto of D Appolonia, working with eight other companies. Now there may be an answer: a three-ton robot called Roboclimber.The idea is to operate a machine far away that can do the stabilizing job without a human being near,says Pezzuto, manager for the project, which is supported by a European organization. Engineers say that the machine will be faster and cheaper than manual labor. The robot, a large radio-controlled four-legged spider, has cost at least $2 million so far. It should be able to climb mountainsides, drill holes and insert steel bars there. Testing should begin in May.（1）The underlined word eventrefers to_A . earthquakeB . debrisC . dustD . landslide（2）The purpose in writing this text is _A . to tell people how serious the damage caused by landslides isB . to tell people that sending workers to stabilize mountainsides is a dangerous jobC . to show people how to use a new robotD . to introduce a new robot that can be used to stabilize mountainsides（3）What does the robot look like?A . human beingB . spiderC . steel barD . a drill（4）A landslides cause _in damage in the United States Every year .A . 25 to 50 deathsB . more than 2000 people diedC . $2 billionD . both A and C（5）The biggest advantage of this product is that_A . it will be faster and cheaper than manual laborB . it can climb mountainsides, drill holes and insert steel bars there.C . it can do the stabilizing job without human beings nearD . it is like a spider3. （6分）（2016杭州）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中选出最佳选项。CYou need some bread and milk. But half an hour later, you leave the supermarket with a trolley(手推车) full of food. What games do supermarkets play to make us spend so much money?The tricks usually start before you walk in. Outside the supermarket entrance, anybody who walks past can smell warm, fresh bread. That makes us hungry and ready to buy lots of food, not just bread.Now youre inside and, of course, a small basket would be fine, but all they have are trolleys. And of course the problem with a trolley is that it looks sad and lonely with just one or two products inside. So we may fill it with something. In fact, supermarket trolleys are actually getting bigger so that we buy more.Of course, many people shop in supermarkets because they think everything is cheaper than in other shops. So supermarkets offer very cheap prices on some things but then have higher prices for other products. One new trick is to put red stickers on products. Customers usually connect red stickers with lower prices so the red stickers is easy to be noticed, even when there is no reduction! Interestingly, this trick appears to work more with men than with women.There is a story behind the position of everything in the supermarket. For example, customers often go only to buy milk. So they put it right at the back, forcing you to go past hundreds of shelves full of other products. The position of products on each shelf is also important. The most expensive products are usually at eye-level so you see these immediately. The exception is anything that children might like. These products are on lower shelves so that kids see them.Apart from what you see and smell in a supermarket, what about what you listen to? In most supermarkets they have soft, slow music. Its so relaxing that you slow down and spend more time (and money) in the store. You also move more slowly when the supermarket is busy. Experts suggest its better to shop when its quieter, on a Monday or a Tuesday for example. And be careful with queues at the checkouts. These are sometimes deliberate(故意), to make you buy something from the checkout shelves while you wait.So, next time you go into your local supermarket, remember these tricks and see if you can come with just the things you went for.（1）Smells from bread in the supermarket _. A . make you feel hungry and buy more foodB . draw your attention to bread onlyC . make you buy less bread than you needD . force you to leave the supermarket（2）Supermarkets dont provide baskets because _.

A . several ways supermarkets use to sell more productsB . some advice when people go shopping on the streetC . several rules that every business should followD . some advertisements that make people buy more4. （6分）阅读理解 Everybody dreams. But only some people remember their dreams. Our dreams often include all the senses - smells, sounds, sights, tastes and things we touch .Sometimes we dream the same dream over and over again.Early in the twentieth century, two famous scientists developed their personal ideas about dreams. Austrian psychiatrist (奥地利心理学家) Sigmund Freud wrote a book called The Interpretation (诠释) of Dreams in 1900. Freud believed people often dream about things they want but cant have. Swiss (瑞士) psychiatrist Carl Jung worked closely with Freud for several years, but he believed dreams provide solutions to problems we face when we are awake. Other researchers are studying how dreaming helps our bodies work with problems and very sad emotions (感情). Robert Stickgold is a professor of psychiatry (心理学教授) at Harvard University in Massachusetts. He says that when we dream, the brain is trying to make sense of the world. He does not agree with Sigmund Freud that dreaming is the way we express our hidden feelings and wishes.Scientists believe it is important to keep researching dreams. Doctor Stickgold says its more than one hundred years since Sigmund Freud wrote his important book about dreaming. Yet there is still no agreement on exactly how the brain works when we are dreaming or why we dream. （1）From the passage we know _. A . dreams are remembered by everyoneB . dreams express all that we think in our mindC . dreams include all the senses and things we touchD . how the brain works while dreaming（2）A book on dreaming was written by . A . Carl JungB . Sigmund FreudC . Robert StickgoldD . the writer（3）The underlined word solutions probably means _ in Chinese.

A . believe dreams can help people understand all the problems that they faceB . believe when we dream, the brain is trying to make sense of the worldC . study dreams and dreaming and have their own ideasD . have the same idea that people often dream about things they want（5）Which would be the best title for the passage? A . The Fact of DreamsB . The Ways of DreamsC . The Advice on DreamsD . The Mystery(奥秘) of Dreams and Dreaming5. （8分）阅读理解What would the world be like if cars could drive themselves? Imagine seeing an empty car passing by on its way to pick up its owner, or a car full of passengers who are reading, listening to music or even sleeping. But none of them are worried about the road ahead.Well, all of this could be the future of driving. There are several companies, including Google, working on driverless cars. So far, no Google self-driven car has gotten a traffic ticket, but some of them have been in accidents when other cars hit them.These cars are now still in the testing stages. But, if the tests are successful, these electric self-driven cars could be put into use very soon.The cars already have many features（特点）allowing them to take the place of drivers during certain situations. Some features include cars being able to park themselves, or slow down when they notice objects close by. They can also control the speed if there are dangerous conditions.Scientists and engineers believe, with the help of wireless signals, cameras and GPS, we are now at a stage where creating a safe self-driven car might be possible.The cause of deadly road accidents is usually careless drivers or dangerous conditions. The self-driven car may be able to prevent these. However, some people do not like the idea. American lawyer Whit Drake, for example, doesnt believe these cars are safe. He thinks that technologies can also be mistakes.（1）The main purpose of the first paragraph is to _A . make readers wonder about self-driven cars.B . get readers to pay attention to road safety.C . tell readers to keep away from heavy traffic.D . tell readers what self-driven cars look like.（2）From the passage, we know that the testing self-driven cars can already _ A . avoid being hit by other vehicles on roads.B . control the speed in dangerous situations.C . turn around when getting near objects.D . pick up their owners.（3）What might make the self-driven cars run safely according to the passage?a. e-reading b. wireless signals c. cameras d. GPSA . a, b, cB . a, b, dC . b, c, dD . a, c, d（4）What is Whit Drakes attitude toward the safety of the self-driven cars? A . He has doubt about it.B . He believes it completely.C . He doesnt care about it.D . He thinks its technologies are convincing（使人信服的）.三、 任务型阅读(本题有4小题；每小题1分，共4分) (共1题；共4分)6. （4分）任务型阅读Whether we are going to school or going to work, we are all sad to leave the weekend behind and go back to our Monday morning blues.
