72、eet! And before that, it was actually a wall-hence the name.（多年来，华尔街这个词已经代表了高端金融的世界，但它也只是一条街！在那之前，它实际上是一堵墙因此得名）。由此可知，华尔街是因其原有的建筑而得名。结合选项，故选C。【57题详解】推理判断题。根据文章FEDERAL HALL NATIONAL MEMORIAL中Federal Hall was built in 1700 as New Yorks City Hall. Later, it became the first capitol building of the Unite

75、y from materializing in the real world. Well, the future is apparently now. The California Department of Motor Vehicles began giving permits in April for companies to test truly self-driving cars on public roads. The state also cleared the way for companies to sell or rent out self-driving cars, and
76、 for companies to operate driverless taxi services. California, it should be noted, isnt leading the way here. Companies have been testing their vehicles in cities across the country. Its hard to predict when driverless cars will be everywhere on our roads. But however long it takes, the technology

78、riving vehicles can help reduce traffic jams, cut emissions and offer more convenient, affordable mobility options. The arrival of driverless vehicles is a chance to make sure that those vehicles are environmentally friendly and more shared.Do we want to copy - or even worsen - the traffic of today
79、with driverless cars? Imagine a future where most adults own individual self-driving vehicles. They tolerate long, slow journeys to and from work on packed highways because they can work, entertain themselves or sleep on the ride, which encourages urban spread. They take their driverless car to an a
80、ppointment and set the empty vehicle to circle the building to avoid paying for parking. Instead of walking a few blocks to pick up a child or the dry cleaning, they send the self-driving minibus. The convenience even leads fewer people to take public transport - an unwelcome side effect researchers
81、 have already found in ride-hailing (叫车)services.A study from the University of California at Davis suggested that replacing petrol-powered private cars worldwide with electric, self-driving and shared systems could reduce carbon emissions from transportation 80% and cut the cost of transportation i
82、nfrastructure and operations 40% by 2050. Fewer emissions and cheaper travel sound pretty appealing. The first commercially available driverless cars will almost certainly be fielded by ride-hailing services, considering the cost of self-driving technology as well as liability and maintenance issues

87、nd the worst aspects of the car-controlled transportation system we have today.(政策制定者现在应该开始思考，如何确保无人驾驶汽车的出现不会扩大我们今天的汽车控制交通系统的最糟糕方面）。由此可知，关于无人驾驶汽车，作者最担心的是管理问题。结合选项，故选C。【59题详解】词义猜测题。根据上句中Fewer emissions and cheaper travel sound pretty appealing. 和本句中的by ride-hailing services, considering the cost of s
88、elf-driving technology as well as liability and maintenance issues可知，无人驾驶汽车拥有排放少和交通便宜的优势，再加上考虑到自动驾驶技术的成本以及责任和维护问题，所以推测第一批商用无人驾驶汽车肯定会采用代驾服务。故划线词应是“采用，雇佣”等类似词义。结合选项，应选D。【60题详解】推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中The coming technological advancement presents a chance for cities and states to develop transportation systems
89、designed to move more people, and more affordably. The car of the future is coming. We just have to plan for it.（即将到来的技术进步为城市和国家提供了发展交通系统的机会，这些交通系统的设计是为了让更多的人出行，而且更经济。未来的汽车就要来了。我们只需要做好准备）。由此可推断出，对于无人驾驶车的未来，作者的态度还是比较积极的。结合选项，故选A。【点睛】词义猜测题是阅读题中常见的出题形式。做这类题时，要根据词、词组或句子所在的语境，即上下文来判断其意义。例如本题第2小题，根据上句中Few

94、he first several days, the mice would hear the same sound each time they took a step. This was just like “running on a tiny piano with each key playing exactly the same note”, senior study author Richard Mooney, a professor of neurobiology at Duke University, told Live Science.Scientists found that
95、their auditory cortex (听觉皮层) the area of the brain that processes sound became active at first but decreased its response to the sound after two or three minutes when the mice became familiar with it.“ Its almost like they were wearing special headphones that could filter (过滤) out the sound of their

105、 new sounds or abnormal noise in the environment easily after tuning out familiar sounds.（这表明，老鼠大脑中的“感觉过滤器”可以帮助它在排除熟悉的声音后，更容易地检测到环境中的新声音或异常噪音）。由此可知，老鼠的大脑对熟悉的声音反应迟钝。结合选项，故选A。【62题详解】推理判断题。根据文章倒数第五段中Its almost like they were wearing special headphones that could filter (过滤) out the sound of their own m

Its famous
111、for having a weirdly chewy, even bloody, meat-like quality, a surprising verisimilitude (逼真) that has made it “perhaps the countrys most famous burger,” as New York magazine recently wrote. One bite into its gorgeous, smoky flavor, and I was convinced.This is good news, because the time has come to
112、mass-produce fake meat, fast. Why? Because in the fight to ease climate change, meat replacement is one of the lowest-hanging fruits.Meat production chews up land and lets out methane(沼气) by the kiloton, accounting for about two-thirds of all greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture. A University o

114、warns me.Diets are culturally enshrined(神圣的), so changing them will be hard. Fake meat can help camouflage(掩饰) that dramatic transformation with slight adjustment.Still, even the most exceptional substitutes for meat face a huge challenge if theyre going to replace 75 to 90 percent of beef and pork.
115、 The first taste of an Impossible Burger-a moment when low expectations work a powerful magic in the products favor-is one thing. But how do you keep meat-eaters asking for more after their sixth, and their 26th?Fortunately, the science here is playing an important role. Impossible Foods owes much o

Fake meat will outcompete traditional meat because “you wont need to refrigerate it if youre making it as you go,” co-founder Niko Koffeman says. Thatd give unmeat an enormous
120、 advantage for energy-poor developing regions. Plus, fake meat could provide more choices. “You could have very soft and tender meat for elderly people,” Koffeman adds. “You could have a custom meat for whatever you need.”We could speed this dietary shift with smart public policy too. Beginning in 2

The author was convinced by the Impossible Burger because .A. it looks like a traditional meat burgerB. it contains no meat but tastes like meatC. its flavor is differ

125、 The author is most likely to agree that .A. fake meat cannot change peoples dietary habitsB. fake meat is worthy of investment for its great potentialC. a decline in meat consumption can relieve global warmingD. fake meat will replace real meat because of its lower price68. Fake meat has an advanta

Because in the fight to ease climate change, meat replacement is one of the lowest-hanging fruits.(这是个好消息，因为现在是大规模生产人造肉的时候了，而且要快。为什么?因为在缓解气候变化的斗争中，肉类替代品是最容易获得的成果之一。)根据第四段Fake meat can help camouflage(掩饰) that dramatic transformation with sli
131、ght adjustment.和第六段Fortunately, the science here is playing an important role. 可知在科技的支撑下，人造肉的制作不难。由此推断划线词“lowest-hanging fruits”指的是容易实施，容易达成的目标。结合选项，故选C。【67题详解】推理判断题。根据文章第三段中Meat production chews up land and lets out methane(沼气) by the kiloton, accounting for about two-thirds of all greenhouse gas e
132、missions from agriculture.(肉类生产会消耗土地，并以千吨计排放甲烷，约占农业温室气体排放总量的三分之二)由此可知推知，肉类消费的减少可以缓解全球变暖。结合选项，故选C。【68题详解】细节理解题。根据文章倒数第三段中Fake meat will outcompete traditional meat because “you wont need to refrigerate it if youre making it as you go,” (人造肉将超越传统肉，因为不需要冷藏，)由此可知，人造肉比传统肉有优势的地方是人工肉不一定要放在冰箱里。结合选项，故选A。【69题
