Fiona’s in-laws lived in New Zealand and every time the family went over to visit them, we had to take care of the dog. Fiona would also leave her car at our place, parked right where Sunny could see it. As long as the dog could check that the car was still there, which he did regularly, he was happy. Sunny knew from past experience that if the car was there, the family would come back. Each time they did it, I jokingly told them not to bother picking up Sunny because he was a joy to have around.‎ Sunny was beautiful with the family, and when an unexpected baby came along --- 17 years after her older sister --- Sunny was lovely and gentle with her.‎ In April 2017 we learned that the family was relocating to New Zealand. Realizing the bond that existed between them and Sunny, I knew they would want to take him. But with limited finances they found it too expensive to take their much-loved dog. So we adopted him.‎ Their car, yet to be sold, was parked at our side gate and Sunny kept watching over it, checking on it each day before going for a walk. I think it was his security blanket. Then, a few months later, when the car was finally sold, poor Sunny had to adapt to losing yet another part of his family.‎ ‎ With the car gone, Sunny discovered that cats visit the area and this has held his interest (though not as much as the car!). We’ve had a few problems, but Sunny has now settled in very well and is far better trained than any of our previous dogs. Sunny is lovely company and has been a beautiful addition to our family.‎ ‎24. Why did Fiona park her car at her parents’ house every time she went to visit her relatives in New Zealand?‎ A. Because Sunny took great interest in watching it.‎ B. Because it was another part of Sunny’s family.‎ C. Because to Sunny it meant the family would come back.‎ D. Because it was Sunny’s hobby before going for a walk.‎ ‎25. What can we learn from the text?‎ A. Fiona once joked about attending to Sunny. ‎ B. The family had two kids with a huge age difference.‎ C. Cats could hold Sunny’s attention as well as the car did.‎ D. The family moved to New Zealand with their beloved dog.‎ ‎26. What does the underlined phrase “security blanket” mean?‎ A. a toy to comfort crying kids B. something to reduce anger C. a blanket to make you feel safe D. a measure to provide protection ‎27. Which of the following can best describe Sunny’s character?‎ A. loyal and adaptable B. expensive and loyal C. naughty and expensive D. naughty and adaptable C Humans make mistakes. Even surgeons (外科医生) with years of experience are not infallible. But what if these doctors could pool their knowledge and experience together and create a surgical standard of care, to be carried out by machines?‎ That’s the idea behind surgical robots, which may soon perform most surgeries, from sewing up tiny wounds to performing heart procedures. Many of these operations are, in fact, already completed with the assistance of robots. But a recent test suggests that robots in the operating room may soon go a step further, performing on soft tissue completely on their own, from start to finish.‎ The Smart Tissue Autonomous Robot（STAR）, successfully completed surgeries on pigs. “We’re the first group to develop autonomous robotic surgery with soft-tissue surgery, and when compared to standard operation, it’s better,” says Peter Kim, professor of surgery. “The idea is not to replace surgeons；it will make the surgeons better and make the procedures safer.”‎ A recent Mayo Clinic study found that major surgical errors--including operating on the wrong site or side of the body, or even leaving tools or objects inside the patient-occur every one out of 22, 000 procedures. That’s rare, but robots like STAR would aim to lower the number even further.‎ In the da Vinci surgical system, surgeons place their arms inside instruments and use their hands to control the movement of robotic tools on the operating table from afar. The robot’s every major move is controlled by surgeons, and thus its results may vary based on the surgeon’s training or experience.‎ STAR, on the other hand, is entirely autonomous. It’s not only able to work on its own and perform surgeries with a more flexible “hand”, but it’s able to react to the unexpected incidents. Cutting into hard tissue like bones is one thing, but operating on moving soft tissue is far more complex. STAR reacts to a changing environment, similar to how self-driving cars are programmed to not only drive on the highway, but also react to another driver making a mistake and getting in your way.‎ ‎28. The underlined word “infallible” in Paragraph 1probably means ______ .‎ A. quite smart B. really creative C. always right D. rather responsible ‎29. We can learn from the passage that STAR ______ .‎ A. can perform the operation on its own B. can make surgeries ‎ much faster C. has been widely used in the operating room D. will take the place of surgeons ‎30. In the da Vinci surgical system, ______ .‎ A. surgery results depend on surgeons B. robots are trained from afar C. surgeons have trouble controlling robot D. robots always make mistakes ‎31. In the last paragraph, the author mentions self-driving cars in order to show ______ .‎ A. how dangerous operating on people is B. how smart an autonomous robot can be C. how difficult self-driving on the highway is D. how bad getting in another driver’s way might be D When Columbus “sailed the ocean blue in 1492” he wasn’t looking for America. He was searching for a route from Spain to China; America just got in the way.‎ The Spanish were after the riches of Asia: silk, dates, spices. Until later adventurers discovered how to sail to the Far East, trade with China depended on the Silk Road. The trade between China and Europe brought huge wealth, so the Spanish had a strong desire to find a new way to the East. Eventually a way appeared. However, as sea traffic developed from the 17th Century onwards, the overland route diminished.‎ Now China is seeking to revive(复兴) the Silk Road and is preparing to invest 4 trillion pounds in new roads, rail links, oil pipelines and other basic facilities. It is hoped that goods can be shipped westwards by land far more quickly and economically than by sea.‎ But the plan is also to attract more tourists. Actually, China does pretty well for tourists already; it’s the world’s fourth most visited country. Two cities—Beijing and Shanghai—possess the tourism business, with significant interest in destinations such as Xi’an and Chengdu. While Beijing is modern, cities such as Lanzhou and Dunhuang have one foot planted firmly in old China.‎ Other places featured include Xi’an, the former capital of China, where you can come face to face with the Terracotta Army built to protect China’s first emperor in the afterlife. From Lanzhou tour members take the train to Jiayuguan, China’s western gateway and a key location on the Silk Road.‎ There is also a fourday coach journey along the original Silk Route through the Xinjiang region to Kashgar. Along the way, at Kurla, you can visit the ruins of the Iron Fortress.‎ 32. What does the underlined word “diminished” in Paragraph 2 mean?‎ A．Disappeared.　 　　B．Disturbed. C．Discovered. D．Displayed.‎ ‎33. What is the purpose of reviving the Silk Road?‎ A．To rebuild the ruins of the Iron Fortress.‎ B．To construct new roads and other basic structures.‎ C．To make transportation westwards faster and cheaper.‎ D．To draw more inland tourists’ attention to the western gateway.‎ ‎34. What can we learn about the Silk Road?‎ A．It is nothing but a trade route.‎ B．It promotes the tourism industry of China.‎ C．It attracts foreign investment of 4 trillion.‎ D．It may destroy some cities’ ancient style.‎ ‎35. What is the best title for the text?‎ A．The Future of the Silk Road B．The Function of the Silk Road C．The Origin of the Silk Road D．The Charming of the Silk Road 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。‎ Why should you read every day?‎ When was the last time you read a book? If you’re one of countless people who don’t make a habit of reading regularly, you might be missing out. Reading has many benefits, and just a few benefits of reading are listed below.‎ Mental Stimulation Studies have shown that staying mentally stimulated can slow the progress of Alzheimer’s and Dementia. ____36____. Just like any other muscle in the body, the brain requires exercise to keep it strong and healthy.‎ Wider Knowledge Everything you read fills your head with new bits of information, and you never know when it might come in handy. ____37____.‎ Stress Reduction No matter how much stress you have at work, in your personal relationships, or countless other problems, it all just slips away when you lose yourself in a great story. A well written novel will help you get rid of pressure. ____38____. ‎ Tranquility(安宁)‎ ‎___39___. Reading spiritual texts can lower blood pressure and bring about a sense of calm, while reading self-help books has been shown to help people suffering from mood disorders or mental illnesses.‎ ‎___40___‎ When you read a book, all of your attention is focused on the story— the rest of the world just falls away. Try reading for 15 to 20 minutes before work, and you’ll be surprised at how much more focused you are once you get to the office.‎ A. The more knowledge you have, the better-equipped you will be in the future .‎ B. Focus and concentration C. That’s because keeping your brain active prevents it from losing power.‎ D. Reading books is also important for learning new languages and cultures.‎ E. Stronger thinking skills.‎ F. Reading a good book can also bring about great inner peace.‎ G.
