阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项
A
Each year, theLas Vegasconsumer electronics show, or CES, presents the latest developments in many areas of technology. The newest products are designed to make our lives easier, fun and more productive.
A car with legs
One of this year’s presentations was by South Korean carmaker Hyun-dai. The company introduced a small model of a “ walking car,” which is called Elevate. It has four movable legs that can raise the main part of the vehicle high off the ground. The electric-powered vehicle is designed to be used in search-and-rescue operations during emergencies or natural disasters.
Changeable people mover
Germany's Mercedes presented an experimental self-driving vehicle that it claims can revolutionize transportation for people and goods. The company says the vehicle, called Vision Urbanetic, will be able lo easily change bodies depending on its desired use. Mercedes says as a ride-sharing vehicle , the futuristic-looking car can seat 12 people.
Fully electric Harley
American manufacturer Harley-Davidson showed off its first fully electric motorcycle, called LiveWire. The company says the bike will be able to go 177 kilometers between charges. It can reach 96 kilometers per hour in under3.5 seconds. Although Harley is known for building powerful bikes with huge, loud motors, the LiveWire will be unusually quiet.
Personal robots
One of the new robots, called Temi, is really just a computer tablet on wheels. It is designed to be a personal electronic assistant. It moves around the home and performs commands when spoken to. It can link users to friends through voice or video, connect to video or place orders for food or goods.
1. Which do you probably use to search for the injured in an earthquake?

B. Vision Urbanetic.
C. LiveWire.
D. Temi.
2. What is the first fully electric motorcycle produced by Harley-Davidson?

As every mobile-phone owner knows, after a year or so the battery starts to fade and the beast needs recharging more frequently.That is troublesome, but a phone’s batteries can be replaced fairly cheaply — or the whole device traded in for the latest model. An electric car, though, is a much bigger investment. And batteries are its priciest component, representing around 30% of an average mid-size vehicle.
To provide buyers with some peace of mind, carmakers guarantee their batteries, typically for eight years or around 200,000km. Producers, planning to go much further than that, though, are racing to launch “million mile”
(1.6m kilometers) batteries. Contemporary Amperex Technology, a giant Chinese firm which produces batteries for
a number of carmakers, was said to be ready to start producing batteries which would last for 16 years or 2m kilometres. Elon Musk has suggested that Tesla,a Californian maker of electric vehicles, has a million-mile battery in the works. And over in Detroit,General Motors is in the final stages of developing an advanced battery which it says has similar longevity (寿命)。

Regular fast-charging reduces battery life, as do overcharging and deep discharging. Driving in extremely hot or cold weather does not help either. And battery life will diminish even if you just leave the car in the garage. The real point of a million-mile battery is that the technological advances required to make it possible will deal with these things as well.
Battery technology is improving all the time, and by no means are million-mile batteries the limit of engineers’ ambition. The next objective is to replace Li-ions’ liquid electrolytes (电解质) with solid ones. That would allow even longer driving ranges, which could make a two-million-mile battery an achievable objective. If that day comes,the tables would have been turned. From being the first part of a car to fail, its battery will have become the last.
4. The battery problem of mobile phones is mentioned to_____.
A. show electrical devices may have drawbacks
B. stress the disturbing battery problem of cars
C. call for investment in battery development
D. compare the function of battery in devices
5. What do we know about the million-mile battery plan?
A. It is eagerly anticipated by car consumers.
B. It is aimed to save repair cost for customers.
C. It targets the longevity of 8 years and above.
D. It has drawn the interest of many enterprises.
6. What does the author think is the focus of developing the million-mile battery?
A. Exploring new materials to construct batteries.
B. Guiding users on how to maintain the battery.
C. Addressing factors that decrease battery life.
D. Researching the principle of battering aging.
7. What does the author think of the future of car batteries?
A. Promising.
B. Unpredictable.
C. Concerning.
D. Unlimited.
C
A former UPS driver and his wife have made history by donating $20 million to Morgan State University – the largest gift any historically black college or university (HBCU) has ever received from a former student. The money, pledged by Calvin Tyler Jr and his wife Tina, will fund scholarships that were established under the Tylers’ name in 2002.
Tyler grew up in a low-income family and was forced to drop out of Morgan State University in 1963 because he could no longer afford to study. The following year, Tyler saw a job advertisement in a Baltimore newspaper from United Parcel Service and got a job with the company as a driver. He rose through the ranks during his 34-year career at the global shipping company to become its senior vice president of US operations and a member of the board of directors before retiring in 1998.
Tyler and his wife, also a Baltimore native, have lived all across the country but he said they have never forgotten their humble beginnings.
Their latest pledge follows a $5million commitment they made in 2016 for the fund, which to date has supported 222 students with full or partial scholarships.
Marybeth Gasman, a professor at Rutgers University who studies HBCUs, said the gift is significant because public HBCU’s like Morgan State University tend to have a lower alumni giving rate compared to private ones.
“For a long time, they weren’t asking alumni to give,” she said. But that has changed in the past couple of decades, she added, and the schools have “started asking alumni to give and creating a culture of philanthropy (慈善) on campus.”
David K. Wilson, the president of Morgan State University, said the money will help students for years to come. “Morgan is so proud to call this son and daughter of the great city of Baltimore our own,” he said in a statement. “Through their historic giving, the doors of higher education will most certainly be kept open for generations of aspiring leaders whose financial shortfalls may have kept them from realizing their academic dreams.”
“We are forever indebted to the Tylers”.
8. Why is Tyler’s donation historic?
A. He was a former UPS driver.
B. The donation is large enough.
C. The donation will fund his scholarships.
D. He used to be a student at the university.
9. What is a driving force of Tyler’s donation?
A. His working experiences.
B. His career achievements.
C. His promise to the university.
D. His past embarrassing situations.
10. Which is true about HBCUs according to Gasman?
A. They are mainly public universities.
B. They are encouraging alumni to donate.
C. They rarely accept help from the alumni.
D. They have changed little over the decades.
11. What can be inferred about Tyler from Wilson’s comments?
A. He’s helped many city leaders.
B. He’s grateful to his university.
C. He’s made great contributions.
D. He’s proud of his son and daughter.
D
As a basic food in the Asian diet，soybeans（大豆）have been used to make tofu and soy milk for hundreds of years．But now，they are also being turned into an alternative to plastic wrap．
William Chen，a professor of foodscience and technology at Singapore's Nanyang Technological University，invented the environmentally﹣friendly food wrap．It's made of cellulose（纤维素），a form of fiber，obtained from
the waste generated by soy bean product producers．The beans are pressed tosqueeze out juice that's used to make tofu and soy milk．And what's left is usually thrown away，but Chen takes the waste and puts it through a fermentation（发酵）process，during which cellulose is produced．
Cellulose﹣based plastic wraps have been on the market for a few years，but Chen says that most are made from wood or corn，grown for that purpose．By contrast，his wrap is made from a waste product，which doesn't compete with other crops for land and is more sustainable．Chen's technology could help to solve two problems at once：cutting plastic production and reducing the amount of food waste．"In Singapore，the amount of food waste generated every year could fill up 15，000 Olympic﹣sized swimming pools，" Chen says．F&N，a soy﹣based drinks producer，has partnered with Chen's lab and provides the product，straight from the factory．The company is conducting a study to assess whether the food wrap could complete commercially with conventional products．Chen adds，"The soy﹣based wrap costs almost nothing to makein the lab because the raw materials are free．Commercial production would involve additional expenses，such as storage and quality control，however，we have not calculated those costs yet．"
Chen hopes neighboring soy﹣loving countries will be inspired bySingapore to adopt his innovation．"My dream is that our technology，which is cheap and simple，will cut plastic and food waste and create a cleaner environment，" Chen says．
12. What is the second paragraph mainly about？
A. The introduction to William Chen．
B. The process of producing soy milk．
C. The way to make soy﹣based wrap．
D. The benefit of eating soy products．
13. What's the biggest difference of Chen's wrap from other cellulose﹣based plastic wraps？
A. It saves land for industry．
B. It's more easilybroken down．
C. It is made from the food waste．
D. It has been put into practice for many years．
14. What will commercial production of the food wrap cause？
A. A lack of competitiveness．
B. Poor quality of the wraps．
C. A shortage of raw material．
D. An increase in production costs．
15. From which is the text probably taken？
A. A personal diary．
B. A travel guide．
C. A book review．
D. A scientific magazine．
