than their gasoline-powered cousins.People in California love to talk about“zero-emissions vehicles”,but people inCalifornia seem to be clueless about where electricity comes from.Power plants mostly use fireto make it.Aside from the new folks who have their roofs covered with solar cells,we get ourelectricity from generators(发电机).Generators are fueled by somethingusually coal,oil,but also by heat generated in nuclear power plants.There are a few wind farms andgeothermal(地热)plants as well,but by far we get electricity mainly by burning something.In other words,those“zero-emissions”cars are likely coal-burning cars.Its justbecause the coal is burned somewhere else,it looks clean.It is not.Its as if the CaliforniaGreens are covering their eyes“If I cant see it,its not happening.”Gasoline is anincredibly efficient way to power a vehicle;a gallon of gas has a lot of energy in it.But whenyou take that gas(or another fuel)and first use it to make electricity,you waste a nice partof that energy,mostly in the form of wasted heatat the generator,through the transmissionlines,etc.A gallon of gas may propel your car 25 miles.But the electricity you get from that gallonof gas wont get you as far so electric cars burn more fuel than gasoline-poweredones.If our electricity came mostly from nukes or geothermal,or hydro or wind or solar,thenan electric car truly would be clean.But for political,technical,and economic reasons,wedont use much of those energy sources.In addition,electric cars batteries which are poisonous for a long time will eventuallyend up in a landfill.And finally,when cars are the polluters,the pollution is spread acrossall the roads.When its a power plant,though,all the junk is in one place.Nature is verygood at cleaning up when things are too concentrated,but it takes a lot longer when all thegarbage is in one spot.1、What is the main idea of the text?AElectric cars are far from being clean.BElectric cars are better than gasoline-powered ones.CPeople cast doubts on electric cars batteries.DGasoline is an efficient way to power a vehicle.2、The electricity we get from a gallon of gas may make our car run_.Ano less than 25 miles Bas far as 50 miles Cless than 25 miles Das far as 25 miles 3、According to the text,electric cars_.Aare more environmentally friendly Bburn more fuel than gas-powered ones Care very good at cleaning up when things are not too concentrated Dare poisonous for a long time and will eventually end up in a landfill 4、It can be inferred from the text that_.Abeing green is good and should be encouraged in communication Belectric cars are the dominant vehicles compared with their gas-poweredcousins Czero-emissions vehicles should be chosen to protect our environment Delectric cars are not clean because we get electricity mainly by burning something 22（8 分）Imagine a cat that does not need someone to clean up after it keeps an older person company and help them remember to take their medicine.That is the shared dream of the toy maker Hasbro and scientists at Brown University in Providence,Rhode Island.The researchers received a$3-nillion-dollar award from the National Science Foundation for a special project.They want to find ways to add artificial intelligence,or AI.,to Hasbros“Joy for All”robotic cat.The cat has already been for sale for two years.Though priced over 1000 dollars,it sold quite well.It was meant to act as a“companion”for older people.Now the project is aimed at developing additional abilities for the cat.Researchers at Browns Humanity-Centered Robotics Initiative are working to decide which activities older adults may need the most.They hope to make the cat perform a small number of activities very well.Such activities include finding lost objects and reminding the person to take medicine or visit their doctor.They also want to keep the cost down to just a few hundred dollars.It is an idea that has appealed to Jeanne Elliot.Her 93-year-old mother Mary Derr lives with her in South Kingstown.Derr has dementia（痴呆）.The boy for All cat that Elliot bought this year has become a true companion for Derr.The cat stays with Derr and keeps her calm while Eliot is at work.Elliot said a robotic cat that helps her mother to remember to take her medicine and be careful when he walks would be greater.The researchers are trying to learn how the improved cats will complete helpful activities and how they will communicate.They say that they do not want a talking cat,however.Instead they are trying to design a cat that can move its head in a special way to successfully communicate its message.In the end,they hope to create an exchange between the human and the cat in which the human feels the cat needs them.By doing so,the researchers hope they can even help prevent feelings of loneliness and sadness among elderly people.1、Whats the purpose of the project?ATo relieve the pain of the elderly.BTo promote the sales of a medicine.CTo help make the robotic cat smarter.DTo invent a robotic cat for the elderly.2、Compared with the old model,the new robotic cat will be _.Acheaper Bsmaller Cmore talkative Dmore expensive 3、What does Paragraph 3 intend to tell us?AThe more functions of the cat,the better.BThe cat gives much help to the elderly.C There is no cure for dementia at present.D Mary Derr would have died without the cat.4、What can we infer from the last paragraph?AThe feeling of being needed is vital to the elderly.BEach family can afford such a cat in the future.CA talking cat is quite popular among the elderly.DFeelings of sadness among the elderly are unavoidable.23（8 分）Plan your dream vacation to one of these excellent destinations.St.Lucia Abundant（丰富的）rainforests and splendid mountains are all reasons to visit this Caribbean island.St.Lucia offers the perfect mix of relaxation and adventure.To take in the breathtaking scenery,plan to hike the Piton Mountains or dive in the waters of Anse Chastanet.Banff.Alberta This Canadian destination will bring out the explorer in anyone who visits.From hiking and whitewater rafting to skiing and snowboarding,Banff offers travelers an abundance of year-round outdoor activities.The Lake Louise Ski Resort is one of the largest in North America and the striking photo opportunities of the Canadian Rockies from Moraine Lake cant be underestimated(低估).Machu Picchu According to travelers,a visit to this Peruvian UNESCO World Heritage(遗产)site is a once-in-a-lifetime adventure.Located in the Andes Mountains,it is the most familiar icon(象征物)of Inca civilization.Spend a few days accustoming yourself to the altitude in the neighboring city of Cusco,where you can experience a mix of Incan and Spanish cultures.Great Barrier Reef Its easy to see why the Great Barrier Reef is one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World it stretches nearly 1,500 miles along the eastern coastline of Australia and features about 3,000 reefs,900 islands and more than 1,500 species of fish.Travelers can see these amazing natural structures from the air or underwater.However,large amounts of coral bleaching(褪色)caused by rising ocean temperatures put this places continued existence at risk,so plan your visit soon to see this awesome sight up close.1、What can you enjoy both in St.Lucia and Banff?AHiking.BSkiing.CDiving.DSnowboarding.2、Where may a historian choose to go?ASt.Lucia.BBanff.Alberta.CMachu Picchu.DGreat Barrier Reef 3、What do we know about the Great Barrier Reef?AIts on the western coast of Australia.BIts famous for coral reefs rather than fish.CPeople must take a plane to enjoy its beauty.DIt may disappear if temperature keeps on rising.24（8 分）Apple announced its new iPhones last week,but competitors mobile phones can do many of the same things for less money.The new iPhone 8 and X have wireless charging,edge-to-edge glass screen and double cameras.But all of these features are already available in smart phones from Chinas Huawei and Oppo,and Koreas Samsung.While Apple asks buyers to pay$1,000 for its high-end model,some Asian phone makers can offer similar features for less.At one time,Chinese manufacturers copied features and designs from others to produce low-cost phones.But they have now added high-end features to their phones and they control nearly half the global mobile phone market.Media MarktSaturn is Europes biggest electronics seller.A spokesperson for the store told Reuters that,“Huawei is seen as a relevant competitor to Apple and Samsung by covering all major price points and placing big investments in marketing and sales.She also said that the Chinese companies Huawei,ZTE,Lenovo and TCL were among the top-10 best-selling smart phones in its stores.Chinese manufacturers fast growth has been fueled by strong sales in China.But they now export 40 percent of their smart phones.That is almost double the number from just three years ago,according to the Hong Kong investment company CLSA Huawei is currently the worlds third largest phone maker behind Samsung and Apple.According to research company Canalys,the Chinese company is getting closer to second-place Apple and might overtake it later this year.Huawei plans to show its top-of-the-line Mate 10 phone on Oct.16.The phone will have artificial intelligence features such as instant translation and image recognition and will cost less than$1,000.Other Chinese companies are looking to enter the high-end smart phone market.1、What is the text mainly about?ASmart phones manufacturers.BApple smart phones features.CAsian phone makers fast growth.DCompetition among Asian phone makers.2、Which is NOT among the top 3 phone makers in the world?ATCL.BSamsung.CApple.DHuawei.3、What do we know from the text?AHuewei will have overtaken Apple by later 2017.BChinese makers phones with high-end features cost less.CThe top-10 smart phones are to enter the high-end competition.D40 percent of Asian smart phones are exported now.4、What is the writers attitude towards Asian phone makers?ADoubtful.BConcerned.COptimistic.DUncertain.25（10 分）Dear daughters,Most parents tell their children,“You can be anything you want when you grow up.”I feel the same and I say this often.But I also want you to understand that a dream itself comes from hard work,some good luck and good timing.Girls,here are some words of wisdom as you make your way in the world.Firstly,be open-minded to changing your path along the way.In high school,I wanted to be a politician.I left my hometown and went off to college in Washington,DCThere,I discovered that I loved to support women.It taught me that Im creative,a strong leader and great at marketing.As a result,I moved on to be the head of a national healthcare nonprofit（非营利机构）.Becoming a mother while in that job opened my mind to launching a breast pump bag business.Now I run a highly successful company that I started up on my own.In my opinion,you need to figure out what you are good at and what you are passionate about.Keep an open mind:the initial path you choose may lead you into other areas.Dont waste your money or time,but you can change what you are doing based on what you are learning about yourself.Secondly and more importantly,remember that failure is vital to your success.I wont tell you to feel good about failure.Failure can be heartbreaking.But I will tell you that every failure Ive had along the way absolutely made me better.Failing the math exam in high school and going to summer school was embarrassing but Ive never failed an exam again.Being deprived(剥夺)of the job for a significant job opportunity that I was more than qualified for because of unfair assumptions hurt me but I went out and got a big job at a national organization at age 27.Its okay to get angry!Take that and turn it into positive action.Im proud to be a role model to you as a mom and an entrepreneur(企业家).I hope I inspire you to believe that you can be anything you want and you can have anything on your list.It will be my pleasure to watch your lives unfold b
