Its mission (使命)was to recreate the 1620 crossing of the Atlantic by the Mayflower, which brought the first European settlers to the USA. But unlike the original Mayflower, there are no people on the MAS. Everything about the ship is designed to run automatically. The ship is guided by an artificial intelligence (AI) system called nAI Captain*'.The MAS is a project run by a group called ProMare along with the computer company, IBM. The ship's electric motor is powered by solar energy. The goal of the project is to test different kinds of technologies for collecting information about the sea. If these can be handled by machines, it could be a big advance in ocean research.Because the MAS didn't have to carry humans, its designers were free to think about how to make the best ship for the job. In addition to cameras and radar to help the ship guide itself, the ship is carrying many different kinds of tools and sensors. It has special listening devices which can detect whales and dolphins. It even has a special ntongueH which can report back on the chemicals in the water.Last Friday morning, scientists tracking the ship noticed that it was going about half as fast as it should have been going. The AI Captain was working well, but there seemed to be something slowing the motor down. Since the ship had only covered 10% of the way across the Atlantic, the team decided to bring it back to Plymouth so they could fix the problem and send it out again. They sent the MAS instructions to turn back.When the MAS finally does put out to sea again, it is expected to take about three weeks to cross the Atlantic Ocean. The fastest speed for the MAS is about 10 mph (16 kph). That may seem slow, but it's about 5 times faster than the original Mayflower, which took 66 days to make the journey.24. What is the main mission of the MAS project?A. Take more Europeans across the Atlantic.B. Explore the ocean with high technologies.C. Develop new artificial intelligence system.D. Test the new robotic ship of IBM on the sea.25. . What happened to the MAS on the sea?A. There was something wrong with the AI Captain.B. The scientists failed to guide the ship completely.C. The ship couldn't reach its destination as planned.D. The robotic ship's electric motor didn't work well.26. What can we know from the last paragraph?A. The robotic ship will set sail again soon.B. The journey will be difficult and dangerous.C. The entire journey will be about 2, 100 kilometers.D. The MAS will travel farther than the original one.27. What's the best title for the text?A. A Robotic Ship Guided by the AI Captain System.B . Self-Driving Mayflower Ship Forced to Turn Back.C. The Fastest Robotic Ship Sailing Across the Atlantic.D. Another Mayflower Recreating the Cross-Atlantic Trip.cForyearsgoinghomefortheholidayshasbeenbittersweet.Iappreciatetheopportunitytospend qualitytimewithmymombutitispainfulformetosee herhouselitteredwith boughtbut neverwornndnewitemsintheiroriginalpackagingcarelesslypurchasedandneverused.Itevident thatseeingthestuffonadailybasisremindsmymomofatimewhenshopping was herwayofspending money.Ididnfullyunderstandtheextenttowhichmymomwassufferinguntilthisweekhenlsaw piles ofclothesonherbed."Howdoyoumanagetosleepeverynightwithallthatstuff,Mom'/Iasked.Tomy horror,shereplied/'ldoitbecauselknowlhavetogetridofallthisstuffeventually Jampunishing myself by sleepingwiththemuntil I do-that/9Shockedandupset,Igentlyexplainedtoherthatpunishingherselfwasonlytomakethingsworse,and thateverybodydeserves aplacetosleepinpeace,no matter whatmistakes they'vemade.I suggested she move all thestuff upstairs,leaving herroomcomfortabletosleepin.Withpatienceandher slowbutsteadyguidance,! helped hergo throughsomeofthepiles and move themupstairs.FortherestoftheweekIstayedthere,shewasinabettermoodandwasexcitedaboutgoing throughtherestofthehousetofinallygetridofherstuff-pastmistakesandpainfultimes.Theitems brought backpainfulmemoriesas weinspectedandmovedthem,but Ikept remindingher thatremoving themwouldallowhertomoveonandheaLWefinallysoldsomanythingsandtookbagafterbagto charity.Thestuffisjustasignofthedestructivepatternsofself-hatredonpastmistakes.Onlythroughtheact ofself-forgivenesscanwe bringaboutachainreactionofreorganizing-both ofthehouse andheart. 28.

In fact, it is greener and cleaner than ever before. That is because the lawns(草坪)are actually artificial substitutes.Britons are fascinated by lawns. Country estates(庄园)have long competed to have the most perfectly cut and polished grassland. "What you're saying in big loud capital letters, is 'I'm so terribly wealthy'" says Fiona Davison of the RHS(皇家园林协会).With the coming of grass-cutting machines in 1830, the middle classes joined the fun.But now Britons have fallen in love with artificial grass. Evergreens UK, which sells the stuff, says it has seen a 120% rise in sales since 2015. Artificial grass is popular with families who have children or dogs and don't want mud dragged through their houses. It has another charm factor, too-people now see gardens as "outside rooms”pairing carpets of artificial grass with delicately decorated seating and hot containers.Not everyone is a fan. Artificial grass contains microplastics that ruin soil and risk flooding. A study finds earthworms gain 14% less body weight when operating under rubber, a form of artificial grass, which might not be a problem for its fans, as wormholes are regular disgusting things, but it disappoints green types. Ms Davison says a group of wildlife-loving gardeners is blooming, many having caught the butduring COVID-19 lockdowns. For example, a landscape designer says they like things less neat and try "to capture that wild clement”. These cco-gardeners are influenced by rewilding projects and are more likely to be environmentalists.While three written documents signed by many people have tried to stop artificial grassspreading, the government says regulating what people do in their backyards is wrong. The RHS is concerned about artificial grass, but prefers persuasion to laws. "We say "Let a hundred flowers bloom'J says Ms Davison.31. What can be inferred from Davison's remark in paragraph 2?A. She is very rich.B. The gardening competition is fierce.C. Operating a cutting machine is fun.D. High-quality grassland is greatly valued.32. What possibly contributes to the popularity of artificial grass?A. Advertising campaigns.B. Gardens' new function.C. Messy grasslands.D. Ill-mannered children and dogs.33. What does the underlined word "bug" mean in the fourth paragraph?A. Interest.B. Carthworm.C. Flower.D. Virus.34. Which of the following is a suitable title of the text?A. The barrier of British grasslandB. The appeal of grassland for BritonsC. The fight to define the great British gardenD. The competition to become the best grassland 第二节七选五(满分10分,每小题2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。Being a good team player is an essential skill, especially at work and school.
