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.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. 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..
7. 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.
C
Summer heat can be dangerous, and heat leads to tragedy far toooften. According to kidsandcars, org, an average of 37 young children per year die of car heat in the US, when they are accidentally left in a hot vehicle.
For Bishop Curry, a fifth grader from Mckinney, Texas, one such incident hit close to home. A six-month-old baby from his neighborhood died after hours in a hot car. After hearing about her death, Curry decided that something needed to be done. Young Curry, who turned 11 this year, has always had a knack for inventing things, and he drew up a sketch (草图) of a device he called “Oasis.”
The device would attach to carseats and watch the temperature inside the car. If it reached a certain
temperature in the car, and the device sensed a child in the carseat, it would begin to circulate cool air. Curry alsodesigns the device using GPS and Wi-Fi technology, which would alarm the child’s parents and, if there was no response from them, the police.
Curry’s father believes that the invention has potential. “The cool thing about Bishop’s thinking is none of this technology is new,” he said. “We feel like the way he’s thinking and combining all these technologies will get to production faster.” His father even introduced the device to Toyota, where he works as an engineer. The company was so impressed that they sent Curry and his father to a car safety conference in Michigan.
In January, Curry’s father launched a campaign for the invention. They hope to raise money to finalize the patent, build models, and find a manufacturer. Their goal was $20,000, but so many people believed in Oasis’ potential that they have raised more than twice that — over $46,000.
Curry’s father remembers the first time he saw his son’s sketch. “I was so proud of him for thinking of a solution,” he said. “We always just complain about things and rarely offer solutions.”
8. What inspired Curry to invent Oasis?
A. His narrow escape from death after being locked in a car.
B. His knowledge of many children’s death because of car heat.
C. The death of his neighbor’s baby after being left in a hot car.
D. The injury of 37 children in his school in a car accident.
9. What would Oasis do if it was hot in a car with a child?
A. It would inform the parents or even the police.
B. It would pump out the hot air in the car.
C. It would sound the alarm attached to the car.
D. It would get the window open to save the child.
10. What does Curry’s father think is cool about Curry’s invention?
A. It used some of the most advanced technology.
B. It simply combined technologies that existed.
C. It could accelerate production of new technology.
D. It is the most advanced among similar products.
11. Why did Curry’s father start a campaign to raise money?
A. To conduct experiments to test the invention.
B. To get other children devoted to inventions.
C. To support a charity of medical aid for children.
D. To get the patent and bring it to production.
D
Scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (麻省理工学院) have turned spider webs into music——creating an strange soundtrack that could help them better understand how the spiders output their complex creations and even how they communicate.
The MIT team worked with Berlin-based artist Tomas Saraceno to take 2D (two-dimensional) laser (激光) scans of a spider web, which were linked together and made into a mathematical model that could recreate the web in 3Din VR (virtual reality). They also worked with MIT’s music department to create the virtual instrument.
“Even though the web looks really random (随机)，there actually are a lot of inside structures and you can visualize (可视化) them and you can look at them, but it’s really hard to grasp for the human imagination or human brain to understand all these structural details,” said MIT engineering professor Markus Buehler, who presented the work on Monday at a virtual meeting of the American Chemical Society.
Listening to the music while moving through the VR spider web lets you see and hear these structural changes and gives a better idea of how spiders see the world, he told CNN. “Spiders use vibrations (振动) as a way to locate themselves, to communicate with other spiders and so the idea of thinking really like a spider would experience the world was something that was very important to us as spider material scientists,” Buehler said.
Spiders are able to build their webs without shelves or supports, so having a better idea of how they work could lead to the development of advanced new 3D printing techniques. “The reason why I did that is I wanted to be able to get information really from the spider world, which is very weird and mysterious,” Buehler explained. In addition to the scientific value, Buehler said the webs are musically interesting and that you can hear the sounds the spider creates during construction. “It’s unusual and eerie and scary, but finally beautiful.” he described.
12. What have MIT scientists done according to the passage?
A. They have translated spider webs into sounds.
B. They have made a mathematical model to produce webs.
C. They have created a soundtrack to catch spiders.
D. They have known how spiders communicate.
13. What can we know about spider webs from paragraph 3?
A. Their structures are beautiful and clear.
B. Professor Markus Buehler knows them well.
C. The American Chemical Society presents the result.
D. They are complex for people to figure it out.
14. In which field will the study be helpful?
A. virtual reality
B. printing
C. painting
D. film-making
15. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. It tells us that the music created by spiders is scary.
B. It shows how the researchers carry out the experiment.
C. It presents a new and creative way to study spiders.
D. It explains why scientists did the experiment.

Endangered species
An endangered species is a group of animalsthat could soon become extinct.____16____Many species are nearly extinct and could disappear off the face of the earth very soon if we don’t do anything to save them. There are many reasons why species become endangered.
Habitat destruction is the main reason why animals become endangered and this happens in two ways. When humans move into a new area, the animals’ habitat is destroyed and there is nowhere for them to live and nothing to eat because humans chop down trees and build houses and farms.____17____Chemicals in rivers and poisons on farms cause the destruction of animals’ homes and food supplies.
Endangered species are also the result of hunting and fishing. Animals have been brought to the edge of extinction because they are killed for their highly-valued meat, fur, bones or skin, or just for sport.____18____ ____19____We should take care not to pollute natural areas, and farmers or companies who destroy animal habitats should face severe financial penalties. The public can help out by refusing to buy any products made from these animals’ body parts. Governments can help, too, by making it against the law to hunt, fish or trade in endangered species. They can also provide funding for animal sanctuaries (禁猎区), to protect animals from extinctionby breeding more endangered animals, which they later release into the wild.____20____
A. Animal habitats are also destroyed because of pollution.
B. Eventually, all the creatures on Earth will enjoy being together.
C. Recent changes, however, have helped to improve the situation.
D. So what can individuals and governments do to protect endangered species?
E. Extinction happens when the last of the species has died out and there will be no more.
F. If we all cooperate and take these steps, we will protectthese animals for future generations.
G. Overfishing has resulted in many large sea creatures becoming endangered species, like sharks.

Dear Alice,
I have just got some good news to tell to you. I win a national prize for painting last week. My father was so pleasing that he suggested I should went to England for a holiday. I'd like to stay there for half a month, visiting places of interest but practicing my English as well. We've been writing to each other for nearly year now. I have often dreamed of talk face to face with you. I guess you'll be at vacation yourself by that times. Perhaps they could go out to do some sightseeing together.
