forest?Do you think of plants?Probably not.After all,plants arent the mostexciting living things in the world.They just sit there and absorb water and nutrients from the soil and the sun.Butactually there are also some plants that eat insects and even small animals from time to time.We call these unusualthings camivorous（食肉性）plants.Although most carnivorous plants eat small insects,larger carnivorous plants insome hot and wet areas have been known to capture rats,birds,and frogs.One carnivorous plant many people are familiar with is the Venus flytrap.Its unique“jaws”will function whenflies and other small insects touch it.Once its jaws close on its victim,it produces a chemical substance that breaks downthe insect and absorbs the insecfs nutrients.There are several other examples of carnivorous plants.For example,some plants can catch insects with theirleaves,which are like a tall narrow wineglass,while some trap their victims with sticky tentacles（触手）.And somegrowing in ponds and streams absorb their victims like underwater cleaners.Carnivorous plants tend to grow in areaswhere the soil is very thin and lacks necessary nutrients.These plants must find other sources for the nutrients theyneed.Trapping and eating insects allows these unique plants to survive.Unfortunately,human and environmental factorscontinue to threaten the limited environments where you can find wild carnivorous plants.Still for many people,the thought of a plant eating an animal seems very strange.In fact,more than one person hasturned the idea into a scary story or movie.Carnivorous plants dont pose any danger to humans,though.Unless yourethe size of a tiny insect,you dont have to worry about falling prey to a Venus flytrap.1、What can we learn about the Venus flytrap?A.It produces a special smell to attract insects.B.It is the most important carnivorous plant.C.It catches insects with its uniqueD.It is a kind of poisonous plant.2、Why do carnivorous plants

faced by carnivorous plants?A.Trapping and eating them from human beings.B.Poorer environments to live in.C.Threats from bigger animals.D.Limited choices of food.4、What can be the best title for the passage?A.Humans influence towards insects B.Potential dangers in the jungleC.Plants that eat living things D.Various survival skills of plants23.（8 分）Major airplane manufacturers are now moving to develop the future of flight with electricplanes and personal flying vehicles.Boeing is one of those companies.It recently invested in Zunum Aero,a company working to buildelectric aircraft for commercial flights.Zunum is based in the northwestern U.S.state of Washington.Itsays it is hoping to revolutionize air travel by cutting flight times and greatly reducing costs.By the early 2020s,the company plans to operate electric aircraft to carry 10-15 passengers on tripsup to 1,100 kilometers.It says the cost of such flights could be as low as$25 each way.Zunum noted on its website that,while America has more than 13,500 airports,97 percent of all airtraffic goes through just 140 larger hubs.By traveling through smaller airports,passengers can greatlyreduce door-to-door travel time and avoid long security lines.JetBlue was another major company to invest in Zunum.The head of JetBlues investment group,Bonnie Simi,said Zunum fits the airlines desire to“seek new technologies to change the game.Shepraised the company for developing“quiet,environmentally-friendly aircraft fbr sustainable travel.Zunum9s planes will be powered by two large engines at the back.The aircraft will beuhybrid-electric/9 meaning they rely mostly on battery power,but also bum fuel when needed.The goal is to eventually fly fully electric planes,although most experts believe this could take manyyears.This is because battery technology still has a long way to go to provide long-lasting power,but notbe too heavy for the aircraft.Other companies have released plans to release flying cars a lot sooner than that.Slovakia-basedengineering company AeroMobil is preparing to show the world its latest model this week.AeroMobii is showing the car at the Top Marques auto show in Monaco.No launch date or priceshave been announced,but the company says it will be taking pre-orders this yean1、Electric aircraft may have the following advantages EXCEPT.A.lower costs B.Shorter flight timeC.fewer passengers D.shorter security lines2、What is Bonnie Simis attitude toward Zunum9s electric aircraft?A.Doubtful B.Positive C.Uncaring D.Disapproving3、Why will Zunum9s electric planes still need fuel?A.Because fuel is easier to get.B.Because battery may not be stable.C.Because planes wont start without fuel.D.Because battery may not last long enough.4、From the last two paragraphs,we can infer that.A.Flying cars must be ordered in advanceB.Flying cars will appear on the market this yearC.The prices of flying cars are still unknownD.Flying cars are more popular than electric planes24.（8 分）The first truly autonomous cars vehicles that drive down the streets with no one behind the wheel 一have finally arrived.Waymo,which began life as Googles self-driving car project,announced that it had let its driverless cars loose inparts of Phoenix,Arizona,with nobody in the front seats to take over in case of emergency.Members of the publictaking part in a Waymo trial in the desert city in the south-west US will be able to order the vehicles to come through anapp“in the next few months”,the group said.Potentially one of the most revolutionary（革命性的）new technologies,as well as one of the most advertised,driverless cars have been at the centre of a race between big automakers and technology companies.But while a numberof groups are testing the technology on the streets with back-up drivers behind the wheel,most believe the approach offull autonomy is at least two years away.Google shocked the auto industry when it first showed a basic version of its driverless technology seven years ago,and it then invested more than$1 bn in autonomous vehicle research.Rivals（竞争对手）admit it still has a technology lead,though skeptics question whether the artificial intelligence isgood enough to respond to the many unforeseen events that could occur on the road.Waymo believes it is the first company to reach a standard known in the driverless car world as level 4,meaning itscars can drive under full autonomy in preset areas that have been carefully mapped out and tested.Uber,GeneralMotors,Aptiv PLC,BMW and others have been conducting testing to reach level 4,but all of them still keep a human inthe drivers seat.1、What should people do in the driverless car test?A.Take over in an emergency.B.Call for a car without an app.C.Let the car operate in full autonomy.D.Test the car in a deserted place.2、The third paragraph may be used to show.A.Googles driverless technology is really advancedB.Way mo will be widely acknowledged two years laterC.driverless cars will damage the entire automobile marketD.the technology of driverless cars is developing too fast3 Why is Waymo confident about trying out its first driverless cars?A.Because it already invented a basic version.B.Because it has a technology lead in this area.C.Because it has reached full,level 4 autonomy.D.Because its cars can drive wherever a person likes.4、Whafs the authors attitude towards the self-driving car?A.Supportive.B.Opposed.C.Skeptical.D.Objective.25.（10 分）In A History of Reading the Canadian novelist Alberto Manguel describes a remarkabletransformation of human consciousness,which took place around the 10th century A.D.:the arrival of silent reading.Human beings have been reading for thousands of years,but in ancient times,the normal thing was to read aloud.Withthe arrival of silent reading,Manguel writes,.the reader was at last able to establish an unrestricted relationship withthe book and the words.The words no longer needed to occupy the time required to pronounce them.The readersthoughts inspected them at leisure,drawing new ideas from them,allowing comparisons from memory or from otherbooks.To read silently is to free your mind to reflect,to remember,to question and compare.The cognitive scientistMaryanne Wolf calls this freedom“the secret gift of time to think”.A thousand years later,critics fear that digitaltechnology has put this gift in danger.The Internets flood of information,together with the distractions of social media,threatens to overwhelm the space of reading,leaving us in what the journalist Nicholas Carr has called the shallows95.In Carr9s view,the“endless,tempting buzz”of the Internet endangers our very being:One of the greatest dangers weface J he writes,uas we give up control over the flow of our thoughts and memories to a powerful electronic system,is aslow damage to our humanness and our humanity.”Theres no question that digital technology presents challenges to the reading brain.But seen from a historicalperspective,digital reading and silent reading look like differences of degree,rather than of kind.To the extent thatdigital reading represents something new,its potential cuts both ways.Done badly,the Internet reduces us to mindlessclickers,racing numbly to the bottom of a bottomless feed;but done well,it has the potential to expand the verycontemplative（沉思的）space that we have prized in ourselves ever since we learned to read without moving our lips.（3）In the fifth century B.
