In China alone, despite existing in a legal gray zone, the company claims it arranges 1 million rides per day. That means 35 Chinese people hop into an Uber there every time you blink.But are there limits to how much Uber can scale?not humans, says “The natural end point has to rely on autonomous driving technology”—Emilio Frazzoli, director of the Transportation@MIT Initiative. He thinks robots could be taking thewheel in the next 15 years, certainly within the next 30. The reasons, he says, are economical and cultural.First, as much as 50 percent of an Uber ride’s cost goes toward paying the human behind the wheel, Frazzoli says, and that’smoney that could be going into Uber’s pocket. Replacing human operators has already begun in Singapore, a city that relies heavily on public transit. It’s not widelyadvertised, Frazzoli says, but the subway trains there “are completely automated. They are just horizontal elevators.” Plus, for reasons from supply to quality control, Oberholzer-Gee, a professor at Harvard, saysgetting drivers will likely always be more of a headache than finding more riders. With autonomous vehicles, he says, “You could have a guaranteed supply of one of the sides, and particularly of the side that is harder to manage.” 饱和) is making a lot of people rethink the idea of owning a Second, Uber’s urban saturation (car, Frazzoli says. That’s no accident: As Uber’s general manager in Vietman recently told Re “Our goal is to replace private car ownership.” Carnegie Mellon computer scientist David And is on board. “What an unfortunate waste of resources,” he wrote in his blog, referring to the cos using his car, which he recently sold. “Taking public transit, uber, or cabs…wouldn’but it would have been better for my wallet.”If the custom of car-ownership dramatically dissolves, then Uber’s mass of potential driverswill, too. Lack of driver will serve as another forcing function on Uber’s business model, furtherforcing it to evolve toward autonomous cars.32. According to the first paragraph, we know that Uber ___________.A. has developed for five years in China.B. is legal in China.C. requests 1 million rides per day.D. enjoys great popularity in China.33. Why does Emilio Frazzoli think robots could replace human operators in future?A. Autonomous vehicles can help Uber to earn much more money.B. Cities like Singapore rely heavily on public transports.C. Controlling drivers means improving quality.D. Uber could have a guaranteed supply of more riders.34. What does the underlined word “dissolves” mean in the last paragraph?A. Obtain successB. Make a differenceC. Come to an endD. Make an agreement35. Where is the passage probably taken from?A.

"The fight against cyberbullying is like a war, and in this war I am a fearless fighter," Sadat Rahman said during a ceremony on November 13 in The Hague, the Netherlands. He added, "If everybody keeps supporting me, then together we will win this battle against cyberbullying."Rahman developed a mobile phone application that provides education about online bullying and a way to report cases of it. He said he began his work on the project after hearing the story of a 15-year-old girl who took her own life as a result of cyberbullying. "I will not stop until we receive no more cases through the app," Rahman said at the ceremony.The award comes with a fund of over $118,000, which is invested by the Kids Rights Foundation. The group chooses projects to support causes that are closely linked to the winner's work.Past well-known winners of the prize include Pakistani human rights activist Malala Yousafzai and Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg. And the students who organized the March for Our Lives event in 2018 after a deadly mass shooting at their school in the American state of Florida also won the prize.Yousafzai praised Rahman's work during the ceremony. She spoke through video conferencing. "All children have the right to be protected from violence no matter if it is physical or mental, offline or online," she said. "Cyberbullying damages that right."（1）What does Sadat Rahman devote himself to?A.Battling online violence.B.Helping poor children.C.Being a brave fighter.D.Removing school bullying.（2）What caused Sadat Rahman to start his project?A.People's lack of education.B.His own experience of being bullied.C.A girl's death from cyberbullying.D.The wide use of mobile phone apps.（3）What is Paragraph 5 mainly about?A.The March for Our Lives event.B.Human rights activists in the world.C.A horrible mass school shooting.D.Some previous winners of the prize.（4）What can we infer from Yousafzai's words?A.Rahman's efforts have paid off.B.Cyberbullying should be got rid of.C.All children have the right to fight against violence.D.Children are faced with physical and mental bullying.4.Americans have changed, at least when it comes to their apple preferences. The Red Delicious apple is likely to lose its title as the most popular apple this year, which it held for more than half a century. The U.S. Apple Association is projecting, that the Gala apple will usurp（夺取）the Red Delicious for the top spot.The group, which advocates on behalf of 7,500 apple growers and 400 companies in the apple business, predicted that the U. S. would grow 52.4 million Gala apples in 2018, up 5.9 percent from a year earlier. Red Delicious apple production is expected to fall 10.7 percent to 51.7 million.Consumers apparently like the Gala's "taste, texture（口感）and sweetness," the U.S. Apple Association said in a statement. "The rise in production of newer varieties of apples aimed at the fresh consumption domestic market has caused demand for the Red Delicious to decline." said Mark Seetin, the association's director of regulatory and industry affairs.The Granny Smith, Fuji and Honeycrisp apples are expected to rank third, fourth and fifth. The association predicted that within a year or two the Honeycrisp may pass the Granny Smith and Fuji, jumping into third place. The production of the apple rose 21.8 percent to 23.5 million this year. That puts it ahead of the Golden Delicious apple for the first time. The Honeycrisp was created by the University of Minnesota's apple breeding（培育）program only 21 years ago. It typically costs more than its competitors.Until the 1970s, Americans had only a few choices of apples. While the Golden Delicious offered a color contrast and the Granny Smith brought tartness（酸味）to the table, the Red Delicious was the star, heavily promoted by Washington state growers. Then wholesalers began looking for tastier varieties, finding them overseas in Japan, home to the Fuji, and New Zealand, which had the Braeburn and Gala.（1）How does the author prove Americans' preference for the Gala?A.By using statistics.B.By listing examples.C.By explaining causes.D.By presenting research findings.（2）What do we know about the Honeycrisp?A.It is sour in flavor.B.It is light in color.C.It is gaining popularity.D.It is losing its price advantage.（3）Which of the following comes from New Zealand?A.The Fuji.B.The Honeycrisp.C.The Braeburn.D.The Granny Smith.（4）What does the text mainly tell us?A.Why Americans eat apples from different countries.B.How different apples are becoming popular in America.C.How American farmers choose their apple growing types.D.Why the Red Delicious was Americans' favorite for 50 years.causal inferences rather than simply finding patterns. "At some point—you know, if you're intelligent—you realize maybe there's something else out there," he says.【长难句分析】1.

One day, as I was passing the elephants, I suddenly stopped, 21 by the fact that these huge creatures were being held by only a small rope tied to their front leg. It was 22 that they could, at any time, break free, 23 strangely enough, they didn’t. I asked a trainer the 24 for this.He said, “When they were very young we used the 25 size rope, and it was enough to hold them. As they grow up, theybelieve the rope can 26 hold them, so they never try.”Like the elephants, how many of you believe you cannot do a thing, simply because you 27 once before？Do you often tell 28 “I cannot dance”or “I’m not good at math”？These are 29 of self limiting beliefs.You must realize you’re 30 for them. A limiting belief that saysyou’re poor at math may have 31 as a reaction to the embarrassing experiences related to math, or the remarks made by someone important to you which 32 you.The cool thing is that because you create the 33 you can choose to change it！Here is how:First, 34 it with “I am good at math”. Once you change your 35 , your subconsciousness (潜意识) will make this come true by driving you to 36 . That might be to take a math course or to go online 37 help, etc.Gradually you’ll really see your math skills are 38 .This is such a simple process that you can 39 it today. Don’t be like the poor elephants and make your life 40 at a place because of a limiting belief you developed years ago.21. A.excited B.confusedC.discouragedD.worried22.

This voyage changed his life.He decided to stay when Columbus returned. Ponce was named governor of Puerto Rico (then called Boriquien) in 1508. While there, he heard many stories of a magical water source. People called it the Fountain of Youth and said that drinking its water kept you young.For the next few years, Ponce tried to find out where the Fountain of Youth was. He asked permission from Spain's King Charles V to go in search of it. The king consented, as long as Ponce paid for the ships and crew himself.The young explorer did so readily, and they set off. It was March 1513. They sailed for days but didn't see the fountain. On March 27, he came within sight of the Florida coast. On April 2, he landed at what he named St. Augustine. This was the first Spanish settlement on the mainland of North America.He had several adventures along the way. He did not, however, find the Fountain of Youth. He returned to Boriquien.He continued to govern tile island, and he continued to hear stories of the Fountain of Youth. Finally, in 1521, he set out again.This time, he landed on the Florida coast again. While he and his men were building houses for a new settlement, they were attacked by native tribesmen（部落成员）. Many of his men died, but Ponce escaped, although he was injured. He reached Cuba and entered a hospital, where he died of wounds from the attack in Florida. Juan Ponce de Leon never found the Fountain of Youth. Neither did anyone else, at least as far as we know.41. Ponce's voyage to the New World with Columbus______________.A. affected his future life greatlyB. made him forget the way backC. was supported by Charles V financiallyD. was to find the Fountain of Youth42.

According to the passage, Ponce_____________.A. became governor of Boriquien in 1513B. found the Fountain of Youth in 1521C. arrived in Florida twiceD. didn't show much interest in the Fountain of Youth44. According to the last paragraph we can know that______________.A. Ponce managed to escape from native tribesmen's attack without any injuryB. Ponce died in Florida in 1521C. his men weren't well received by native tribesmen in FloridaD. people found the Fountain of Youth after Ponce's deathBThere is plenty for kids and teens to do in the Syracuse area during the summer, including some great educational opportunities.

On Tuesday, the U.S. Senate voted to block a proposal(提议) by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) would have limited the amount of potatoes and other starchy(富含淀粉的) vegetables served in schools. And those vegetables high in carbohydrates(碳⽔化合物) would also have been banned from school breakfast. The USDA had wanted to make the changes to the federal school lunch program.The Senate’s amendment(修正案) blocks the USDA from putting any limits on amount of servings of potatoes or othervegetables in school lunches. Senator Susan Collins of Maine, a potato—growing state, supported amendment. “USDA’s proposed rule would have put significant and needless costs on our nation’s school districts at a time when they can least afford it,”Collins said.Those in favor of potato limit say that children getenough potatoes already and should be encouraged to try other vegetables. The centre for science in the Public Interest pushed for the restrictions. “USDA’s proposal was about helping kids to eat a very wide variety of vegetables, and I think that opinion has been lost in all this,”said the Center’s Margo Wootan, “Other vegetables have a hard time competing with potatoes.”The proposed change upset potato growers, who believed potatoes were being unfairly targeted. Some schools have criticized the USDA’s attempt to tell them exactly what foods they can or can’t serve. Critics say the USDA should focus on advising schools on how to prepare the potato instead. Potatoes can be a good source of fiber. Many schools already prepare French fries with less grease(油脂) and serve potatoes in healthier ways.The USDA is expected to release a final list of guidelines for the federal school lunch program next year. Senator Mark Udall of Colorado, another potato—growing state, also supported the amendment that blocked the potato limit. “This amendment seeks to ensure flexibility for schools to provide nutritious and affordable school meals.”he said.48. What is the content of the proposal put forward by the USDA?A. Reducing the amount of starch vegetables served in schools.B. Reducing the amount of vegetables served in schools.C. Supporting serving potatoes in school.D. Stopping serving starchy vegetables in schools.49. One reason for blocking the proposal is that________. .A. the proposal will put needless costs on nation’s school districtsB. children like eating potatoes.C. there aren’t enough other vegetables for childrenD. other vegetables will have a hard time competing with potatoes.50. What’s the main idea of the passage?A. Food supplies in America affect students.B. Potatoes served in school will be limited.C. A project on the students’health is carried out.D.A proposal is blocked by the U.S. Senate.第⼆节(共5⼩题；每⼩题2分,满分l0分)根据短⽂内容,从下框的A～F选项中选出能概括每⼀段主题的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该选项涂⿊.选项中有⼀项为多余项.China must become more livable to retain top talent51. _______________________China has to transform from an "economic power" to a "livable power" in order to keep its wealth, talent and confidence.The "2011 China Private Wealth Report," released recently by China Merchants Bank, shows that nearly 60 percent of the respondents(调查对象) whose investment exceed (超越）10 million yuan have plans to emigrate (移居外国）by investing.52. _______________________Human migration is not a new phenomenon. From the Euro-Asian Silk Road to Columbus's Discovery of the New World, migrants have brought about cultural communications and economic exchanges across the world. Migration has become an important driving force for social progress.53. _______________________Nowadays, economic globalization has considerably improved the freedom and increased the attractiveness of migration from one country to another.A certain degree of Chinese emigration can not only offer more opportunities in personal life, employment and investment but also boost（促进）the exchange and cooperation between China and other countries.54._______________________However, the factors of the emigration wave should also be figured out.The topic of emigration seems serious because this new wave has to some extent reflected some “unlivable”factors in China. The reasons provided by Chinese emigrants include helping their children to avoid domestic exam-oriented education, obtaining a healthy living environment and sound social security, seeking a sounder investment environment and getting rid of the "anti-rich" atmosphere arising from the inequality in wealth.55. _______________________In order to curb（控制）the wave of emigration, China should further deepen social and economic reforms, improve its educational system to guarantee children'shealth and happiness, as well as strengthen the protection of private wealth through legislation. Furthermore, China shouldalso improve the social security system to increase people's happiness, crack down on corruption and promote social justice and equity so as to uphold the dignity of ordinary citizens. Only in this way can China retain its wealth, talent and confidence and curb the overheated immigration wave.第II卷第三部分：写作(共三节, 满分40分)第⼀节单词拼写(共10⼩题；每⼩题1分，满分10分) 根据下列各句句意和空⽩之后的汉语提⽰词，在答题卡指定区域的横线上写出对应单词的正确、完整形式，每空只写⼀词。

AOne Saturday morning I saw a much milder case of anger gone too far, and I wondered what could have stopped it. I was waiting in front of a sporting store in Manhattan which was having a big summer sale. It was a couple of minutes before 10 o’clock and there were a few customers on the sidewalk in the beautiful morning sunshine waiting for the store to open.An employee was standing inside the door, letting in other employees. One customer waiting very close to the door started saying to the employee, “open the door. It’s 10 o’clock.” The store employee said it wasn’t quite 10 yet and he had to wait. This made the man outside more angry. He opened his cellphone, held it up to the door to show the employee the time,and said , in a much louder voice, “see? It’s 10 o’ clock.”I couldn’t hear what the employee said , but it made things worse. The guy outside the door started really shouting , “YOU! OPEN THE DOOR!!DOOR!”and shoved the door and the store employee, and pushed his way inside. The rest of us followed.The store manager had been called and was talking to the man, trying to calm him down. It sounded like the situation had quieted down, and the man began to walk away but clearly said something under his breath. The manager heard it and said angrily, “Get out of my store!” The man refused to leave, so the manager said, “ We’re calling the police.” I went upstairs. I didn’t want to be in the line of fire.The author wrote the passage mainly to tell us _____.a funny story to make us laughan example of anger suddenly rising to a boilto wait in line when shopping in a storea sporting store should treat customers wellWhat does the author want to buy in the store?something to eatsomething to exercisesome bookssome toysWhy did the man open his cellphone?he wanted to call the policehe wanted to show off his nice phonehe wanted to lend it to the employeehe wanted to prove he was rightThe underlined word “shoved” probably means ______.A. closedB. openedC. pushedD. pulled5. What made the manager angry?A. The man went into the store before 10B. The man was unfriendly to his employeeC. The man didn’t listen to him at firstD. The man said something under his breathBWe all have to eat, but choosing the right foods can be hard. Many people also have trouble controlling how much they eat.Instead of eating a reasonable quantity of fruit, vegetables, whole grains, and other healthy foods, lots of people eat too many hamburgers, cookies and chips. Many people just eat too much food in general.One result is an epidemic（流行）of obesity, which has enlarged the waistlines of millions of adults and kids. The increase in obesity has led to an increase in the number of people with diabetes（糖尿病）, heart disease, cancer and other illnesses.Re searchers are doing research on what causes certain people to develop eating disorders, why some people are more at risk than others, and what kinds of education programs work best to prevent people from doing dangerous things to lose weight or stay slim. “it’s important to learn how to recognize the signs of eating disorders in yourself, your family members and your friends,” doctors say, “because research shows that getting treatment early on is the key to a quick recovery.”6. This passage mainly talks about ______.A. why some people eat too muchB. how people limit the food they eatC. the problems that people have with eatingD. how eating disorders lead to many diseases7. The underlined word in the third paragraph probably means “_____”.A. being too fatB. being too thinC. being too worriedD. being too old8. The purpose of writing the passage is to ______.A. warn people not to eat too muchB. tell people what they should eatC. draw people’s attention to keeping fitD. let people realize the importance of healthy eating9. According to the doctor, what is the most important thing for the early treatment of eating disorders?A. Knowing the signs of eating disordersB. Getting a quick recoveryC. Controlling what people eatD. Knowing the reasons for eating disorders.10. We can know from the passage that eating disorders can cause all of the following diseases EXCEPT ______.A. diabetesB. heart attacksC. organ damageD. fainting spellsCThe emperor penguin is the tallest and heaviest of all living penguin species and lives in Antarctica. The male and female are similar in size, reaching 122cm in height and weighing anywhere from 22kg to 45kg. The back and head are black, contrastingsharply with the pale-yellow breast and bright-yellow ears. Like all penguins, it is flightless, with a stream-lined body and their wings stiffen and flatten into flippers for a marine habitat.Its diet consists primarily of fish, but can also include animals with hard shells. In hunting, the species can remain underwater up to 18 minutes, diving to a depth of 535m. its unusually structured hemoglobin （血红蛋白）allows it to function at low oxygen levels.The emperor penguin is perhaps best known for the journeys adults make each year in order to mate and to feed their babies. The only penguin species that breeds during the Antarctic winter, goes on a long journey of 50-120km over the ice to breeding areas which may include thousands of individuals. The female lays a single egg, which is incubated（孵化） by the male while the female returns to the sea to feed; parents take turns searching for food at sea and caring for their chick. They both care for the chick until it is able to enter the water to find food on its own. During the process of incubation, the male can lose up to 1/3 to 1/2 of his body weight. One of the coolest things about the male is if the chick es out of its egg before the female returns, the male can actually produce a special liquid to feed the chick. He can only do this for a short time. If the female doesn’t return, he must leave the chick to go on with his own life. The emperor penguin can typically live for 20 years in the wild, although observations suggest that some individuals may live to 50 years of age.13.The emperor penguin differs from other penguin species in that _____.A. it gives birth in the Antarctic winterB. it feeds mainly on fishC. the male won’t search for food on his ownD. it can only live for a short time14. According to the passage,_____.A. the egg of the emperor penguin is mainly incubated by the femaleB. the male emperor penguin will give up his own life to feed the chickC. many emperor penguin will stay together to breedD. the female emperor penguin will leave the chick forever once it lays an egg15. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?A. The emperor penguin’s physical featuresB. The relationship between the emperor penguin and manC. The emperor penguin’s dietD. The emperor penguin’s incubational process第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。

Think about your childhood and the memories you created. What was your favorite childhood memory and what was your favorite as a child? Or what your favorite Christmas present or your favorite candy bar when growing up? Answers may come easily for some people but for others，it may take more time to think about.Mary Jo McCarthy of Pequot Lakes wants to help others document their childhood memories which could be treasured by current families and for generations to come. McCarthy, 64, a short story author and retired columnist (专栏作家) for the Lake Country Echo weekly newspaper ,began hosting a writing seminar (研讨班) titled “A Time to Remember”. The closes are limited to 12 people and are conducted in the nursery at Lutheran Church of the Cross in Nisswa and the registration fee is $25.McCarthy said what led her to start the writing seminars was writing others’ biographies. A retired businessman asked her to write his biography as a ghost writer. She said others from her church in Pequot Lakes had also asked her to write their biographies (传记) because they didn’t know how to write them. She thought hosting a class to help people write their own biographies would be more beneficial to them.McCarthy said people had busy lifestyles th ose days and didn’t have a chance to sit down and writedown their memories that they might forget and never remember. She said writing down the memories would document the person’s life，so other family members，especially future generations would be able to read about them.24．In paragraph l the author raises some questions to________.A．introduce the topic of the textB．express his/her puzzle about memoriesC．give some examples for readers about biographiesD．provide background details for readers about the retired columnist25．What can we learn about McCarthy?A．She was strict with her studentsB．She didn’t take charge of seminarsC．She got support from the local governmentD．She once worked as a columnist in a newspaper26．It can be inferred from the passage that__________．A．writing biographies is an easy jobB．a biography is part of family historyC．McCarthy had her own biographies publishedD．fewer and fewer people feel interested in biographies27．The passage is mainly intended to________.A．show how to write biographiesB．help people communicate with their familiesC．call on people to write their own biographiesD．introduce McCarthy and her writing seminarsCIt was a normal school day for senior Solymar Solis until an unexpected visitor arrived. Her dad, Sgt. Carlos Solis Melendez, surprised her by coming home early fro m Kuwait and visiting her unannounced at Spring Valley High School in South Carolina.After serving in Kuwait for nine months, Melendez returned home a week earlier than his daughter expected. He held ballo ons and flowers in a classroom as he sat at a student’s desk to blend in with thecrowd. “It came across my mind like, ‘How is she going to react?’”he recalled the heartwarming moment. “Is she going to be happy and run to me and hug me, or cry? That was all going on through my mind.”As unsuspecting Solymar entered the classroom, she was soon overcome with emotion, immediately bursting into tears and covering her mouth. She didn’t talk. She was just crying. She was overwhelmed with everything. She thought it was a dream.Melendez was a single parent so while he was deployed（调动）, he got his sister to live with his daughter. When he was coming back and talking to his sister, both of them came to the conclusion that they should do something special for his daughter. Melendez and his sister got in touch with the school, and they planned this whole being-in-the-classroom thing, and it turned out perfect.The two are very much looking forward to some good daddy-daughter time now that he’s home. “It means everything,” Melendez said of being able to surprise his daughter this way. “A fter all the sacrifices she’s made, she deserves all the special arrangements and special occasions and celebrations. I’ll do anything for my daughter. I believe I’m doing good parenting.”28. How did Solymar feel when seeing her father?A. She was eager to hug her father.B. She felt everything was as usual.C. She got disappointed at seeing her father.D. She thought it was unbelievable.29. What was Melendez’s attitude to the surprise?A. Content.B. Astonished.C. Touched.D. Upset.30. Why did Melendez plan the surprise for Solymar?A. To get involved in her school life.B. To teach her a lesson in a special way.C. To build a strong emotional bond with her.D. To make up for what she lost in her growth.31. What can be the best title for the passage?A. Father’s Selfless Love for His DaughterB. Gir l Expecting the Returning of Her DadC. Girl Surprised at School by Her Dad’s ReturnD. Father and Daughter’s Expected ReunionDHave you ever been given somethi ng you don’t like or doesn’t fit, but you don’t want to hurt the feelings of the person who thinks about you? You’re not alone. Everyone has received an unwanted gift at least once in his or her life. That doesn’t mean the item is bad or useless. It simply means that it doesn’t work for you.If you find yourself with something nice but that doesn’t fit into your lifestyle, consider regifting it. Before you do that, make sure you understand the growth of regifting is more and more common as people find it difficult to make ends meet to a great degree.There are specific things you should do to an item. Failure to do any of them may create an awkward situation. You never have to lie about what you are doing, but you don’t want to be in the position of having to explain anything. For example, remove the original wrapping paper and rewrap it in your own; make sure the box is in good condition so the item doesn’t appear used; check the item and make sure there are no cards or names on the packaging; inspect the item and make sure it is in excellent condition.When you get ready for regifting, consider having a white elephant gift exchange for your next celebration. This removes all the embarrassment of being caught regifting because that’s the whole purpose of the event. In order to prevent hurting feelings, provide everyone with a guest list and ask them not to bring anything given by the people on that list.32.
