Shopping centers，stadiums and universities may soon have a new tool to help fight crime.
ACaliforniacompany called Knightscope says its robots can predict and prevent crime. Knightscope says the goal is to reduce crime by half in areas the robots guard.
William Santana Li is the chief executive officer of Knightscope. He says，"These robot security guards will change the world. Our planet has more than seven billion people on it. It's going to quickly get to nine billion people. The security equipmentthat we have globally is just not going to develop that fast. The company's Autonomous Data Machines can become the eyes and ears of law enforcement（执法）."
"You want them to be machines plus humans. Let. the machines do the heavy and sometimes dangerous work and let the humans do the strategic decision-making work，so it's always working all together."
The machines do not carry weapons but they have day and night video cameras which are able to turn 360 degrees and can also sense chemical and biological weapons.
Some people may become concerned about their privacy, especially in connection with the video recordings. Some people may worry that such recordings will appear on the Internet. Eugene Volokh, a law professor at the UCLA School of Law, says the machines have to be used in the right way and it will be interesting to see how state laws deal with this kind of video.
William Santana Li says there is a long waiting list for the robots in theUS. Workers in the company are working overtime to meet the demands of the market. At least 25 other countries are also interested in these robot security guards.
1. What can this new tool do for humans?
A. Make strategic decisions.
B. Keep watching day and night.
C. Carry heavy weapons.
D. Stop crime autonomously.
2. Why are some people worried about the new robots?
A. Their privacy may be let out.
B. The robots are very expensive.
C. Robots will replace humans.
D. They will be out of work soon.
3. Which of the following can be the best title of the text?
A. Robots Are Becoming More Popular

B
America---that glorious symbol of multiculturalism, the great melting pot---qualifies as part of the developed world, right? Not quite, if we consider the state of second language learning in schools across the country. According to a 2018 study, Europe often tops the U.S. in foreign language education in school. 92% of European students are learning a foreign language in school. In America it’s only 20%. In more than 20 European countries, studying a foreign language for at least one year is compulsory. In comparison, only 10 states and D.C. require learning a foreign language for graduation.
I went to a public school in Pennsylvania that ranked onNewsweek’s list of America’s top high schools in 2015. Foreign language learning was not a graduation requirement. A common response to such stories and statistics is: So what? Why should Americans care about learning another language when English has recently seemed to dominate as the official language of the world?
The world is globalizing faster than we can imagine. More than half of the world’s population speaks more than one language. It is also increasingly becoming the need for success in this globalizing world. Having the ability to speak a second language opens up the possibility of travelling and immersing yourself in another part of the world. This means people can feel other cultures, and traditions in places you were previously kept away because you could not communicate in the language.
The teaching of foreign languages can be instrumental in bringing about peace and unity in the country we live in. Learning a second language can be an efficient vehicle to help to bridge communities. To speak another language means having access to a universe of different experiences and world views of another community of people.
4. Why does the writer mention Europe?
A. America makes studying a foreign language compulsory.
B. America is the glorious symbol of multiculturalism.
C. America isn’t really qualified as the developed world.
D. America doesn’t focus on foreign language education
5. What is American’s attitude towards education of foreign languages?
A. Less concerned.
B. More worried.
C. Quite doubtful.
D. Very supportive.
6. What can visiting people do if they can speak the language where they visit?
A. Make the world globalizing.
B. Achieve success in business.
C. Experience people’s real life there.
D. Keep away their own culture.
7. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?
A. Using a second language can bring harmony.
B. Communities of people enjoy the great views.
C. Speaking another language is reallynecessary.
D. Learning a second language can be difficult.
C
On World Oceans Day, which falls on June 8, the US National Geographic Society announced it would recognize the Southern Ocean in Antarctica, bringing the global total to five.
Unlike the Arctic, Atlantic, Indian and PacificOceans—which are defined by the continents that bound them—the Southern Ocean is instead characterized by the Antarctic Circumpolar Current（南极洋流）. According to the National Geographic, the Southern Ocean includes most of the waters surrounding Antarcticaout to 60 degrees south latitude（纬度）.
"Encircled by the powerfully swift ACC, it is the only ocean to touch three others and to completely embrace a continent rather than being embraced by them," Sylvia Earle, a marine biologist and oceanographer, told the Daily Mail.
Those familiar with the Southern Ocean know it's unlike any other. "Anyone who has been there will struggle to explain what's so charming about it, but they'll all agree that the glaciers are bluer, the air colder, the mountains more awful and the landscapes morecaptivatingthan anywhere else you can go," Seth Sykora-Bodie, a marine scientist at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, told National Geographic.
National Geographic hopes their revised maps will bring public awareness to the region, thereby encouraging Southern Ocean conservation—but its significance is beyond that.
"We think it's really important from an educational standpoint, as well as from a map-labeling standpoint, to bring attention to the Southern Ocean as a fifth ocean," Alex Tait, National Geographic Society geographer, told The Post. "So when students learn about parts of the ocean world, they learn it's an interconnected ocean, and they learn there are these regions called oceans that are really important, and there's a distinct one in the icy waters around Antarctica."
8. Why is the Southern Ocean different from other oceans?
A. It has never been explored before.
B. It surrounds the Antarctic all around.
C. It is enclosed by the fast-flowing ACC.
D. It has ecologically distinct environment.
9. What does the underlined word "captivating" in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Strange.
B. Unusual.
C. Attractive.
D. Informal.
10. What does the National Geographic think of the Southern Ocean?
A. It will be instructive for students.
B. It will promote tourism development.
C. It will encourage public to treasure water.
D. It will draw scientists to study in the Antarctic.
11. What is the best title for the text?
A. World Oceans Day
B. Revised Antarctic Maps
C. Adding a New Ocean
D. New Discovery under the Sea

At first glance, there is nothing unusual about BingoBox’s convenience store–shelves packed with snacks line the walls, attracting passers-by through the glass windows. But upon closer look, BingoBox is no ordinary store. The door unlocks only after customers scan (扫描) aQR code to enter, and there is no cashier — just a lone checkout counter (柜台) in a corner. The Shanghai-based company is one of many unmanned store operators (运营者) opening outlets all over China, hoping to improve slim profit by reducing staff costs.
“Ifstaff costs rise quickly, that puts greater pressure on low-profit businesses like convenience stores and supermarkets,” said Andrew Song, an analyst at Guotai Junan Securities. “InChina, manpower costs have been rising ly quickly.”
However, the future vision of shopping without a check-out person is still a work in progress. A Post reporter who visited a BingoBox store inShanghaiwas briefly locked in when trying to exit without buying anything. Although a sign near the exit stated that empty-handed customers can leave by scanning a QR code, no QR code was to be found. Repeated calls to the customer service hotline went unanswered.
The idea of unmanned stores first caught the world’s attention in December last year. Equipped with technology such as RFID tags, mobile payment systems and facial and movement recognition, such stores collect large amounts of data that give operators a better idea of consumer preferences and buying habits, which can then be used to optimize (使最优化) operations and make more efficient inventory decisions. For companies like BingoBox, lower operating costs also mean it can afford to expand its reach to areas with less foot traffic or fewer people, according to its founder and chief executive ChenZilin.
12. What makes BingoBox store look like an ordinary convenience store?
A. No cashier to check out.
B. A lone checkout counter.
C. Shelves packed with goods.
D. Entering by scanning a QR code.
13. Why are unmanned stores popular with operators?
A. The customers prefer mobile payment systems.
B. The unmanned stores help improve profit with lower labor costs.
C. The employees focus on consumer preferences and buying habits.
D. The operators care more about operations and inventory decisions.
14. Why is the reporter’s case mentioned in the passage?
A. To show his anger and dissatisfaction.
B. To warn people not to go to a BingoBox store.
C. To explain unmanned stores still have a long way to go.
D. To complain that QR code service is not convenient at all..
15. What can we infer from the chief executive Chen Zilin?
A. Nowadays all stores should be equipped with advanced technology.
B. The operators collect data about consumer preferences and buying habits.
C. BingoBox made wiser decisions based on the data collected in those unmanned stores.
D. The operators can open unmanned supermarkets in more distant places with low cost.

Financial Education-Awareness Dilemma
When it comes to financial education, the majority of today's youth will regard it as a necessity for certain specific people who want to make their career in the financial world.___16___Actually, elementary financial education is a must for all, as money transaction is an essential part of our day-to-day life.
Suppose you have $100 in a saving account that pays simple interest at the rate of 2%per year. lf you leave the money in the account, how much will you have accumulated after 5 years: more than $102, exactly $102, or less than $102? The test might look simple, but only half of the people surveyed gave the correct answer.
___17___The explanation goes as follows: People with low levels of financial literacy suffer from that lack of knowledge at every stage of their lives. Researchers on this subject say people with a high degree of financial literacy are more likely to plan for their retirement.___18___
On the contrary, people who have a lower degree of financial literacy tend to borrow more, accumulate less wealth, and pay more in fees related financial products. They are less likely to invest, more likely to experience difficulty with debt, and less likely to know the terms of their mortgages and other loans. Thus, the cost of this financial ignorance is very high.___19___
What is the solution?___20___Like reading and math, financial education must become part of the core curriculum in our schools. Likewise, parents should engage in regular, constructive conversations about money matters. This will give their kids a solid foundation for financial well-being, which will keep on giving returns throughout the course of their lives.
A.Financial education must start early.
B.However, they miss an important point.
C.Why does each of us have to face a financial challenge?
D.Why does financial literacy matter so much in our society'?
E.Rich people are generally better educated on financial management.
F.Besides, these people have more than double the wealth of people who don’t.
G.For example, they frequently make late credit card payments, overspend their credit limit, etc.
