London Zoo
Set in the heart of Regents Park, London Zoo provides a great day out with a family friendly atmosphere. It has been entertaining visitors of all ages with a collection of over 80,000 animals as well as some fantastic shows and interactive experiences for over 150 years.
From the classic penguin feeding time to the insightful talks held in an authentic living rainforest there really is something for everyone to enjoy. There are fun and games in the kid’s zone including a range of special exhibits designed to be as informative as they are exciting. Children are free to explore a treetop village, a secret underground world and the “Touch Zone” which provides a safe environment for them to interact with all of their favourite creatures.
There is so much to do at London Zoo you may struggle to fit it all into one day! Your ticket includes priority entry access at no extra cost giving you more time to see one of the city’s premier attractions.
673、According to the advertisement, London Zoo _____.
A．provides an ideal place for families to hold talks in an rainforest.
B．combines entertainment and interactive experiences with creatures.
C．offers unlimited access to premier attractions with a little more charge.
D．caters to the curiosity of children with guided exploration and interactions.
1、It can be learned from the passage that _____.
A．visitors will be admitted to the zoo at their convenience.
B．drivers shall get a parking space with a paid entry ticket.
C．late comers may miss some of the animal exhibits.
D．wheelchair users can have access to any building.
22．（8分）A cheetah (猎豹) can run 70 miles per hour. Blobfish (水滴鱼) don’t have any bones. These are facts I’ve learned from my 5-year-old son after he watched some networks, shows. He is greatly interested in scientific facts, so I was surprised the other day when I mentioned climate change.
After a few more questions, I discovered that he’s never heard any of his favorite science shows mention climate change. It is strange, because climate change is one of the most important environmental issues of our time. My son can tell you everything you ever wanted to know about red pandas, except for the fact that their existence is being threatened by the changing climate.
I reached out to PBS Kids, Nickelodeon, and Disney Junior to see if there was any truth to his claim. I was told that except an episode (一段情节) of Disney Junior’s Doc McStuffins called The Big Storm, none of the three networks’ shows has ever discussed the causes of climate change on our planet. Maybe you’re wondering if the reason is that kids’ science shows don’t e ver tackle troubling environmental issues.
Why aren’t these networks introducing kids to such an important issue? According to Maria, spokeswoman for PBS Kids, it’s because the network feels that focusing on foundational science concepts is the most age-appropriate way to serve our audience. I don’t know about you, but I’d rather my kid learn a little about the melting polar ice caps than other things.
And kids can handle climate change. Even young children are able to understand the basic idea. More import antly, they’re able to begin taking action to slow down global warming. My guess is that the networks are afraid that promoting the science on a politically controversial (争议性的) issue will lead them to lose viewers or advertisers. But if that’s true, and they’re choosing their bottom line over the education of America’s children, that’s a real shame. Kids need to learn about the issue that threatens their planet if they’re ever going to feel inspired to save it.
1、Why did the author feel surprised at her son?
A．He has known many scientific facts.
B．He has watched a lot of network’s shows.
C．He didn’t care about global warming.
D．He knew nothing about climate change.
2、The author watched the three networks’ shows in order to .
A．get to know her son’s pr eference
B．find the reason of her son’s ignorance
C．find the causes of climate change
D．help her son know environmental issues
3、What does the author think his son should do?
A．Learn something about environmental issues.
B．Help to slow down global warming.
C．Discuss important issues with others.
D．Learn to handle climate change.
4、What is the purpose of the author’s writing this text?
A．To advice kids not to watch networks’ shows.
B．To introduce some politically controversial issues.
C．To express his attitude towards some networks.
D．To call on all Americans to care about kids’ education.
23．（8分）I recently posted a picture on Facebook from the movie Mad Max, a film where two groups race through the desert in steam punk vehicles, and wrote, “Actual picture of my way to work today.” It was meant to be a joke because of the sandstorms in Beijing, but one of my friends from back home thought it was real.
I couldn’t imagine how they could think that is actually what China is like. China has so many more conveniences and advantages than the West, and many of my friends agree. “I don’t know how I will be able to deal when I go back home,” said a friend who is about to end her gap year in Beijing. “I’ve become so spoiled in China.
China seems to be leading the way in innovation and convenience for daily life. Back home I could never shop, pull out my phone and scan a QR code to pay.
There have been rumors of starting bike sharing in my hometown for years with little success while bike sharing suddenly appeared in Beijing overnight. I just step outside and scan a code, and I am on my way.
Going out to eat with a group of friends back home was troublesome for both the group and the servers. Splitting checks and swiping(刷) 10 different cards or making change for each person in the group can be a pain. But with China’s WeChat, you can quickly send your friends your part of the bill.
The list goes on…
When I first arrived in Beijing, I was dead set on leaving in a month. That month has come and gone. Now, when someone asks me when I’m coming back, I think to myself, “Who knows?”
While my friends think I’m riding th rough the desert on a motorbike, I am actually taking a “Didi” for what is the equivalent of $5 in the US.
With all the conveniences and technology here, I may never want to go back.
1、What’s the function of Paragraph 1?
A．To introduce a movie. B．To tell an interesting story.
C．To introduce the topic. D．To show the weather in Beijing.
2、How did the author feel when he first came to Beijing?
A．He couldn’t stand the weather. B．H e didn’t want to stay long.
C．He never wanted to go back home. D．He was amazed at the bike sharing.
3、What can we infer from the text?
A．China is the first country to start bike sharing.
B．The author has become used to mobile payment in China.
C．People always use WeChat to pay when eating out in the US.
D．The author’s friends all know the convenience of living in China.
4、What does the text intend to tell us?
A．Bike sharing has spread all over China.
B．Foreigners have misunderstandings of China.
C．Technology has brought much convenience in China.
D．Life in foreign countries is not as easy as we thought.
24．（8分）When a driver slams on the brakes to avoid hitting a pedestrian crossing the road illegally, she is making a moral decision that shifts risk from the pedestrian to the people in the car. Self-driving cars might soon have to make such ethical (道德的)judgments on their own — but settling on a universal moral code for the vehicles could be a tough task, suggests a survey.
The largest ever survey of machine ethics, called the Moral Machine, laid out 13 possible situations in which someone’s death was unavoidable. Respondents were asked to choose who to spare in situations that involved a mix of variables: young or old, rich or poor, more people or fewer. Within 18 months, the online quiz had recorded 40 million decisions made by people from 233 countries and territories.
When the researchers analysed these answers, they found that the nations could be divided into three groups. One contains North America and several European nations where Christianity has been the dominant (占支配地位的)religion; another includes countries such as Japan, Indonesia and Pakistan, with strong Confucian or Islamic traditions. A third group consists of countries in Central and South America, such as Colombia and Brazil. The first group showed a stronger preference for sacrificing older lives to save younger ones than did the second group, for example.
The researchers also identified relationships between social and economic factors in a country. They found that people from relatively wealthy countries with strong institutions, such as Finland and Japan, more often chose to hit people who stepped into traffic illegally than did respondents in nations with weaker institutions, such as Nigeria or Pakistan.
People rarely face such moral dilemmas, and some cities question whether the possible situations posed in the online quiz are relevant to the ethical and practical
questions surrounding driverless cars. But the researchers argue that the findings reveal cultural differences that governments and makers of self-driving cars must take into account if they want the vehicles to gain public acceptance.
At least Barbara Wege, who heads a group working on autonomous-vehicle ethics at Audi in Ingolstadt, Germany, says such studies are valuable. Wege argues that
self-driving cars would cause fewer accidents, proportionally, than human drivers do each year—but that people might focus more on events involving robots.
Surveys such as the Moral Machine can help to begin public discussions about these unavoidable accidents that might develop trust. “We need to come up with a social consensus,” she says, “about which risks we are willing to take.”
1、Why is it difficult to set universal moral rules for programming self-driving cars? A．Social values always change with the times.
B．Moral choices vary between different cultures.
C．Drivers have a preference for sacrificing the weak.
D．Car makers are faced with decisions of life or death.
2、The researchers conducted the study by_____.
A．using a massive online quiz worldwide
B．comparing different cultures and customs
C．dividing the respondents into three groups
D．performing a series of controlled experiments
3、According to the study, in which country are drivers more likely to hit a pedestrian crossing the road illegally?
A．Nigeria B．Colombia
C．Finland D．Indonesia
4、Barbara Wege would probably agree that _____.
A．Self-driving cars will greatly improve the traffic environment
B．Accidents caused by self-driving cars might receive more attention
C．Problems involving self-driving cars might shake the public trust in society
D．Car makers needn’t take the risk of solving self-driving car ethical dilemmas 25．（10分）“Have a nice day!” may be a pleasant gesture or a meaningless expression. When my friend Maxie says “Have a nice day” with a smile, I know she sincerely cares about what happens to me. I feel loved and secure since another person
cares about me and wishes me well.
“Have a nice day. Next!” This version of the expression is spoken by a salesgirl at the supermarket who is rushing me and my groceries out the door. The words come out in the same tone (腔调) with a fixed procedure. They are spoken at me, not to me.
O bviously, the concern for my day and everyone else’s is the management’s attempt to increase business.
The expression in one of those behaviors that help people get along with each other. Sometimes it indicates the end of a meeting. As soon as you hear it, you know the meeting is at an end. Sometimes the expression saves us when we don’t know what to say. “Oh, you just had a tooth out? I’m terribly sorry, but have a nice day.”
The expression can be pleasant. If a stranger says “Have a nice day!” to you, you may find it heart-warming because someone you don’t know has tried to be nice to you.
Although the use of the expression is an insincere, meaningless social custom at times, there is nothing wrong with the sentence except that it is a little uninteresting. The salesgirl, the waitress, the teacher, and all the countless others who speak it without thinking may not really care about my day. But in a strange and comfortable way, it’s nice to know they care enough to pretend they care when they really don’t ca re all that much. While the expression may not often be sincere, it is always spoken. The point is that people say it all the time when they like.
1、What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean?
A．The salesgirl is impolite.
B．The salesgirl is angry.
C．The salesgirl cares about the author.
D．The salesgirl says the words as a routine.
2、By saying “Have a nice day!”, a stranger may ________.
A．try to be polite to you B．express thanks to you
C．give his blessing to you D．share his happiness with you
3、What is the best title of the passage?
A．Have a Nice Day—a Polite Ending of a Conversation
B．Have a Nice Day—a Pleasant Gesture
C．Have a Nice Day—a Heart-warming Greeting
D．Have a Nice Day—a Social Custom

“It's great that you're 3 sandwiches,” he said, “but one thing we really
4 is socks, especially as winter approaches.”
