We would like to introduce three models that are more or less affordable.Kirobo Mini, a small robot for use in homeJapanese carmaker Toyota sells the Kirobo
11、 Mini, a small robot designed for cuteness. So far, the robot can only understand Japanese. But it can respond when spoken to and can ask some questions. If you talk with Kirobo, it can remember the content of a discussion. In this way, the robot can get “smarter” and will be able to “grow up” over
12、time. The robot is smallonly 10 centimetres tall and its price is $350.Aibo, a robotic dogSony is the Japanese maker, now, producing a robotic dog called Aibo. The Aibo is about 30 centimetres long and has natural looking eyes. It is also very cute. The eyes have a camera, so you can take a picture
13、while playing with Aibo. The robotic dog can respond to a pink ball and plastic bone like real dogs. Sony is considering overseas sales but has not decided yet. However, Aibo is much more costly with a price of about $1,800. Qoobo, cushion with a tailQoobo looks more like a cushion than a robot. Yuk
14、ai Engineering in Tokyo makes Qoobo which has no face or legs. The robot only has a body and a tail. However, the company says the cushion can wave its tail slowly as a response to caresses and tapping. Qoobo is the biggest of the robotsat 33 centimetres in length. It is now available to order in Ja

The landlady of the guest house, Mrs Smith, answered the door and showed him to his room. Johnson was very
18、 tired and went straight to bed. He slept well and didnt wake up until nine oclock the next morning.Johnson went downstairs for breakfast. Because there were no other guests, Mrs Smith invited him to have breakfast with her family. Her only daughter, Catherine, about 13, was already sitting in the d
19、ining room. Mrs Smith went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast. Johnson noticed there were four places at the table and asked Catherine if there was another guest. Catherine told him that it was an empty place. And it used to be her fathers place. Her father had been a fisherman. Three years before
20、he had gone out in his boat, and had never returned. Her mother always kept that place for him and made his breakfast every morning. Catherine showed him his photo on the wall. Johnson said nothing, but looked very puzzled. At that moment Mrs Smith returned. She served four cups of tea, and put one
21、in the empty place. Looking at the empty chair, Johnson was more puzzled.Suddenly, Johnson heard footsteps outside the door and a tall man with a black beard walked into the room. Johnson looked scared. It was the man in the photo. He jumped up and ran out of the room. The man asked, “Whats the matt
22、er？” Catherine said, “I dont know. Hes a guest from London.

25、ne, and humans never set foot in the fields. In Shropshire in the UK, engineers in the Hands Free Hectare project are developing automated tractors and drones to grow and harvest crops.One reason why the sector is on the up is that global demand for food is rapidly increasing. The World Bank estimat
26、es we will need to produce 50% more food by 2050 if the planets population continues to grow at its current speed. Add to this, yields will decrease by over a quarter due to climate change, and the situation looks serious. Could futuristic farming provide the answer?One company in Japan believes so.
27、 The firm Spread has dispensed_with farming on land altogether, and instead grows vegetables on stacks of trays indoors in an automated factory. “In countries like Japan, where land is actually a very scarce resource, it makes more sense to stack your production, just like a skyscraper，” says JJ Pri
28、ce, Spreads global marketing manager. Mr Price told the BBC that this method of vertical farming not only reduces costs by 50%, but it is also greener. LED lights cut energy bills by a third, and 98% of water can be recycled. By growing crops close to where people consume them, transport costs and e
29、missions are also minimised, he says.And where will we buy this futuristic food? Perhaps in shops with no staff? Amazon has recently launched its first Amazon Go store in the US, which has no checkouts. Customers simply pick their items from the shelves, and technology does the rest.All this begs th
30、e question: if everything is automated, what jobs will people do? The mechanisation of farming means fewer and fewer people work the land. From 1950 to 2010, agricultural labourers have decreased from 81% to 48.2% of the workforce in developing countries, and from 35% to 4.2% in developed countries,
31、 according to the International Labour Organization. Its a trend that looks set to continue.28Why do people develop agricultural robotics?ATo change the climate. BTo liberate the workforce.CTo control the population growth. DTo meet the increasing demand for food.29Which of the following is closest
32、in meaning to the underlined phrase in Paragraph 3?Achanged BdevelopedCdone away with Dtaken up30Why does Mr Price think vertical farming makes particular sense in Japan?AWorkforce is too limited. BTransport costs may decrease.CThere is so little land available for farming. DThe technology has reach
33、ed a high level.31What can be the best title for the text?AFarming Technology BThe Future of Food ProductionCEmployment Trend DFuture Shops with No StaffDTraffic jams and cities, it seems, go hand in hand. Everyone complains about being stuck in traffic, but, like the weather, no one seems to do any
34、thing about it. In particular, traffic engineers, transportation planners, and public officials responsible for transportation systems in large cities are frequently criticized for failing to solve the traffic jam.But is the traffic jam a sign of failure? Long queues at restaurants or theater box of
35、fices are seen as signs of success. Should transportation systems be viewed any differently? I think we should recognize that the traffic jam is an unpreventable byproduct (副产品) of successful cities, and view the “traffic problem” in a different light.Cities exist because they improve social communi
36、cation and economic trade. The traffic jam occurs where there are lots of people but limited space. Culturally and economically successful cities have the worst traffic problems, while decaying cities dont have much traffic. New York and Los Angeles are Americas most crowded cities. But if you want
37、access to major brokerage houses (经纪行), you will find them easier to reach in crowded New York than in any other large cities. And if your company needs access to postproduction film editors or satelliteguidance engineers, you will reach them more quickly through the crowded freeways of LA than thro
38、ugh less crowded roads elsewhere.Despite the traffic jam, a larger amount of social communication and economic trade can be made better in large, crowded cities than elsewhere. Seen in this light, the traffic jam is an unfortunate result of prosperity (繁荣), not a cause of the economic fall and urban
39、 decay. So while we can consider the traffic jam as increasing cost in the areas of big cities, the cost of inaccessibility in uncrowded places is almost certainly greater.There is no doubt that the traffic jam brings the terrible economic and environmental damage in places like Bangkok, Jakarta, an
40、d Lagos. But mobility (流动性) is far higher and traffic jam levels are far lower here in the US, even in our most crowded cities. Thats why, for now, we dont see people and capital streaming out of San Francisco and Chicago, heading for cities like El Centro and McAllen.32We can conclude from the firs
41、t paragraph that _.Athe traffic jam and weather are the two factors preventing the development of big citiesBthe traffic jam seems to be very difficult to deal withCif traffic engineers try their best, the traffic jam can be solvedDpublic officials are always criticized for misusing their power33By
42、saying “decaying” (in Para.3), the author probably means _.Aless powerful and influential BdevelopingCrich and successful Dsmallsized34What can we learn from the last paragraph?AThe traffic jam has caused terrible effects in cities such as Bangkok and Lagos.BThe traffic jam in San Francisco has resu

44、ss.CThe traffic jam is the result of successful cities.DThe traffic jam can promote social communication and economic trade.第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。You may be relying more and more on your refrigerator.

We would like to introduce three models that are more or less affordable.”可知，文章介绍的是机器人，属于科技内容。故选B项。22答案与解析：A细节理解题。根据介绍Kirobo Mini中的“only 10 centimetres tall”、介绍Aibo中的“about 30 centimetre
83、s long”和介绍Qoobo中的“33 centimetres in length”可知，按照长度排序依次是Kirobo Mini、Aibo、Qoobo。故选A项。23答案与解析：D细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The eyes have a camera, so you can take a picture while playing with Aibo. The robotic dog can respond to a pink ball and plastic bone like real dogs.”可知，A项错误；根据第四段中的“It is now available to orde
84、r in Japan and the United States and is expected to be sent out later this year.”可知，B项错误；根据第二段中的“In this way, the robot can get smarter and will be able to grow up over time.”可知，Kirobo Mini不是真正地长大，C项错误；根据第三段中的“Aibo is much more costly with a price of about $1,800.”可知，Aibo是最贵的。故选D项。B【语篇解读】本文是记叙文。约翰逊来
85、到一个新的地方度周末，接待他的一家人让他感到蹊跷。原来这家人里有一个人喜欢恶作剧。24答案与解析：C细节理解题。根据第二段第二句话可知，因为没有其他的房客，所以女房东邀请约翰逊共进早餐。25答案与解析：B细节理解题。根据最后一段最后一句话可知，在照片上的高个子、黑胡子的男士其实就是凯瑟琳所提到的父亲。26答案与解析：C词义猜测题。根据最后一段第四句话可知，约翰逊感到非常害怕，所以一跃而起，并且冲出房屋。27答案与解析：D推理判断题。根据整个事情经过可知，照片上的人的经历其实是凯瑟琳编造出来的，因此可推断，凯瑟琳是一个喜欢讲故事的人。C【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。随着地球上人口数量越来越多，对

89、that the traffic jam brings the terrible economic and environmental damage in places like Bangkok, Jakarta, and Lagos”可知A项正确，其他选项均与文中事实不符。35答案与解析：C考查观点态度。根据第二段最后一句和第五段可知，作者认为交通拥挤是城市成功的一个不可避免的副产品，应该从另一个不同的角度来看待交通拥挤现象，故选C。文中作者并没有提到交通堵塞是一种失败，B项不正确。第二节【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文，文章介绍了四种食品不适合放进冰箱。36答案与解析：B设空句为小标题句，根据下
