Winter seems to drag on endlessly this time of year, so it’s only natural to start thinking about getting away, and the sunny south of France is calling your name!
Avignon

Hear the history first-hand and come away with a greater understanding as to how the town came to be.
Chateau
Nothing says French countryside more than a chateau surrounded by acres of vineyards. There are wines to choose from. You can also explore the surrounding natural beauty on a horse ride, and they even run vineyard tours on horseback for a truly unique experience. Be sure to bring back a bottle or two of the Chateau des Bertrands wine so you can share a glass with friends as you tell them all about your trip.
Magnificent Marseille
The oldest city in France, starting out as an ancient Greek colony (殖民地), with its rich history, can keep every holidaymaker happy.

See the sights of the Museum Marseilles, Cathédrale La Major, and the historic Le Panier, while you walk around the streets.
Cannes

B
One night, our house burned down. As a single mother with four kids, she cried bitterly. We had to move into the Ramada Inn, where my mother worked. This was the room where putting one foot in front of the next felt impossible. After four months of not having any of our own air to breathe, we were on the edge of just giving up.
One day Mother stood up, looking crazy. “Let’s go for a ride,” we looked at one another cautiously, not sure if we had heard right. “Come on,” she urged. “It’ll be fun.” We didn’t have fun in our family. Fun was something we might have known about once, which, however, seemed foreign to us now. Still, we piled into our 1972 blue Ford Torino, a blue so faded as to appear almost white. Mother started the car, saying “I thought we’d go to look at all the houses we’ve lived in.”
Embarking on rides that night was my first. Gradually, going for a ride in my mother’s car became a regular thing. Every night we piled into the car and the world changed. We even sang “You Are My Sunshine” and a million other songs. The hope we seemed to have lost in the rest of our life was real again in the car as we sang. One night as we were singing loudly, “In the pines, in the pines, where the sun never shines and you shiver when the cold wind blows ...” Mother suddenly stopped the car. “This is it!” she cried.
“This” was a house, and a for-rent sign in the front yard brought me more joy than I could believe. “Really ” I asked in a low voice. My mother was excited and we all went to look. We might have a house again. That night, I realized my mother was like us. The following weekend, we moved in. The nights in the car were over. Better off, we had new jobs and activities now. One summer in the Torino had saved us. We had lost our home, but my mother had found a way to bring us together and keep us that way.
14. What did the author think of the room in the Ramada Inn
A. It was comfortable. B. It was tiny. C. It was fashionable. D. It was broken.
15. How did the kids feel at first when their mother said “It’ll be fun.”

17. What is the best title for the text

【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“We didn’t have fun in our family. Fun was something we might have known about once, which, however, seemed foreign to us now.(我们的家庭没有乐趣。乐趣是我们曾经可能知道的东西，但现在对我们来说似乎是陌生的。)”可知，当妈妈说“会很有趣的”时，孩子们一开始是感到困惑的。故选C项。
【16题详解】
词句猜测题。划线词句前文“Mother started the car, saying ‘I thought we’d go to look at all the houses we’ve lived in.’(妈妈发动了车，说：‘我想我们应该去看看我们住过所有房子。’)”和后文“Gradually, going for a ride in my mother’s car became a regular thing. (渐渐地，坐妈妈的车去兜风成了一件很平常的事。)”说明妈妈经常开车带作者出去兜风，而那天是第一次开车带作者出去，从而推知划线词句“Embarking on rides that night was my first. (那天晚上我第一次Embarking on乘车)”其中划线部分意思是“启动”。故选A项。
【17题详解】

A 420-meter white steel tube running alongside a railway line in the northern Netherlands could be the start of a new kind of transportation for people and goods. The tube from Hyperloop Center is the heart of the new transport technology that opened recently in Veendam. Developers from Hyperloop Center will be testing the changing technology there over the coming years.
Hyperloop technology was once supported by business leader Elon Musk. Its supporters say it is far faster than short flights, high-speed rail, and trucks. When Musk first presented the idea, he said it could transport people the nearly 645 kilometers between Los Angeles and San Francisco in 30 minutes. But since then, progress has been slow to get from an idea to the real world.
Sascha Lamme is the center’s director. He expects to have the first Hyperloop route by 2030. He said, “There are already preparations being done for such routes in for example Italy or India.”
Robert Noland is a professor at the Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy at Rutgers University in New Jersey. He told The Associated Press that policy makers go after big ideas of the future but they should invest in simpler transportation structures. He added, “It costs too much to build.” But Lamme noted that they have not added all of the ways they can reduce costs over the next ten years.
The test center’s tube is made up of 34 separate sections mostly 2 and a half meters wide. A piece of equipment next to the tube removes air in the tube to reduce the pressure inside the tube. That reduces air resistance and permits capsules to travel at such high speeds. A capsule built by Dutch hyperloop company Hardt Hyperloop will be tested next month. It receives financial support from private investments, local and national governments, and the European Commission.
While testing continues in Veendam, hyperloop developers hope that routes for their technology will be coming. Lamme stated that getting government authorization (授权) for building routes is their main hardship they encountered. And he said finding new financial support to test and show the technology is what is needed to make this happen.
18. What does Hyperloop Center aim to do
A. Build a 420-meter white steel tube. B. Develop a new transport technology.
C. Ask for donations from the local company. D. Meet the challenges of the new technology.
19. What is the benefit of Hyperloop technology compared to traditional vehicles
A. It’s more eco-friendly. B. It’s cheaper.
C. It’s more efficient. D. It’s much safer.
20. What is Robert Noland’s attitude towards Hyperloop’s future
A. Unclear. B. Indifferent. C. Approving. D. Doubtful.
21. What is the main difficulty about building routes according to Lamme
A. Finding some new financial supports. B. Gaining the government’s approval.
C. Travelling at a very high speed. D. Running along a railway line.
【答案】18. B 19. C 20. D 21. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。欧洲Hyperloop Center旨在发展运输技术。
【18题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“The tube from Hyperloop Center is the heart of the new transport technology that opened recently in Veendam. Developers from Hyperloop Center will be testing the changing technology there over the coming years.(Hyperloop Center的地铁是最近在维丹启用的新运输技术的核心。未来几年，Hyperloop Center的开发人员将在那里测试这项不断变化的技术)”可知，Hyperloop Center旨在发展一种新的运输技术。故选B。
【19题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Its supporters say it is far faster than short flights, high-speed rail, and trucks.(它的支持者说，它比短途飞行、高速铁路和卡车要快得多)”可知，它比短途飞行、高铁和卡车要高效得多。故选C。
【20题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“He told The Associated Press that policy makers go after big ideas of the future but they should invest in simpler transportation structures. He added, ‘It costs too much to build.’(他告诉美联社，政策制定者追求未来的大想法，但他们应该投资于更简单的交通结构。他补充说，‘建造成本太高了。’)”可推知，Robert Noland认为政府应该投资于更简单的交通结构，Hyperloop建造成本太高，可得出他对Hyperloop的未来持质疑态度。故选D。
【21题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Lamme stated that getting government authorization (授权) for building routes is their main hardship they encountered.(Lamme表示，获得政府授权修建路线是他们遇到的主要困难)”可知，修建该线路主要的困难是得到政府的批准。故选B。
D
Joyce Loaiza lives alone in a community for older people in Florida. When she is home, the retired office worker often talks with a friendly female voice that asks about her day. A few kilometers away, the same voice helped 83-year-old Deanna Dezern when her friend died. In New York state, it plays games and music for 92-year-old Marie Broadbent. And in Washington state, it helps 83-year-old Jan Worrell make new friends.
The women are some of the first in the United States to receive the robot ElliQ made by Intuition Robotics. The company and other officials say it is the only device using AI to help older Americans from loneliness.
“You can actually talk to her,” said Loaiza, who is 81. Her ElliQ calls her “Jellybean” for no clear reason. She said amusingly, “She’ll make comments like, ‘I’d go outside if I had hands, but I can’t hold an umbrella.’”
The device looks like a small table light and it has an eyeless, mouthless head that lights up and turns. It remembers each user’s interests and their talks, helping create a special experience with each new discussion. They can be as deep as the meaning of life or as light as a small joke. ElliQ also plays music and provides creative or spiritual sayings. On a video screen that comes with it, it will show different cities and places of interest. The device leads exercises, asks about the owner’s health, and lets the users know when to take medicines and drink water. Intuition Robotics says none of the conversations are heard by the company, with the information staying on each owner’s device.
Intuition Robotics CEO Dor Skuler said the idea for ElliQ came before he launched his company eight years ago. His grandfather who lost his partner needed a helper, but the first did not work out. Skuler then thought a robot could fill the space of a friend by adapting to each person and their interests. He said, “That just did not exist anywhere.” The average user interacts with ElliQ more than 30 times a day and more than 90 percent report lower levels of loneliness, Skuler said.
22. Why are some women in America mentioned in paragraph 1
A. To introduce a topic. B. To explain a concept.
C. To make a comment. D. To make a prediction.
23. Which word can best describe ElliQ from what Loaiza said
A. Powerful. B. Entertaining. C. Ignorant. D. Annoying.
24. What can ElliQ do according to the text
A. Act as a table light. B. Make a short video.
C. Remind users to take pills. D. Hold an umbrella.
25. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about
A. The unique feature of ElliQ. B. The wide popularity of ElliQ.
C. The working principle about ElliQ. D. The inspiration of inventing ElliQ.
【答案】22. A 23. B 24. C 25. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一款可以提醒老人运动、吃药以及陪伴聊天的机器人。
【22题详解】
推理判断题。第一段“Joyce Loaiza lives alone in a community for older people in Florida. When she is home, the retired office worker often talks with a friendly female voice that asks about her day. A few kilometers away, the same voice helped 83-year-old Deanna Dezern when her friend died. In New York state, it plays games and music for 92-year-old Marie Broadbent. And in Washington state, it helps 83-year-old Jan Worrell make new friends. (Joyce Loaiza独自生活在佛罗里达州的一个老年人社区。当她回家时，这位退休的办公室职员经常与一个友好的女性声音交谈，这个声音询问她这一天过得怎么样。几公里外，同样的声音帮助了83岁的Deanna Dezern，她的朋友去世了。在纽约州，它为92岁的Marie Broadbent播放游戏和音乐。在华盛顿州，它帮助83岁的Jan Worrell结交了新朋友)”描述了几位老年女性与一个友好的女性声音互动的生活日常，第二段首句“The women are some of the first in the United States to receive the robot ElliQ made by Intuition Robotics. (这些女性是美国首批接收由Intuition Robotics制造的机器人ElliQ的女性)”表明这个声音来自机器人ElliQ，后文围绕该机器人展开。由此推知，提及这些女士是为了引出话题。故选A项。
【23题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“She said amusingly, “She’ll make comments like, ‘I’d go outside if I had hands, but I can’t hold an umbrella.’” (她开玩笑地说：“她会说，‘如果我有手，我就会出去，但我不会撑伞。’”)”可知，根据Loaiza的描述，ElliQ说的话很有趣。由此推知，它是令人愉快的。故选B项。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“The device leads exercises, asks about the owner’s health, and lets the users know when to take medicines and drink water. (该设备引导运动，询问主人的健康状况，并让用户知道何时服药和喝水)”可知，它可以提醒使用者吃药。故选C项。
【25题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段中“Intuition Robotics CEO Dor Skuler said the idea for ElliQ came before he launched his company eight years ago. His grandfather who lost his partner needed a helper, but the first did not work out. Skuler then thought a robot could fill the space of a friend by adapting to each person and their interests. He said, “That just did not exist anywhere.” (Intuition Robotics的首席执行官Dor Skuler说，八年前他创办公司之前就有了ElliQ的想法。他的祖父失去了他的伴侣，需要一个帮手，但第一个没有成功。然后，斯库勒认为机器人可以通过适应每个人和他们的兴趣来填补朋友的空间。他说：“这在任何地方都不存在。”)”可知，本段主要介绍了该发明的灵感来源。故选D项。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章从三个方面介绍了如何做好自我照顾。
【26题详解】
根据上文“Many people do not fully understand what self-care means. So they may view self-care as a form of selfish behavior.(许多人并不完全理解自我照顾是什么意思。因此，他们可能将自我照顾视为一种自私的行为)”讲大家对自我照顾的偏见以及后文“Read on to know how to practice self-care.(继续往下读，你就会知道如何练习自我照顾)”侧面承认自我照顾的重要性可知，本句应与上文构成转折，对前句所表达内容进行修正，前后句构成转折关系。故F项“但事实上，照顾自己的行为是一个人幸福的重要组成部分”符合语境，该选项肯定自我照顾的重要性。故选F。
【27题详解】
根据上文“It’s important to listen to your body and take a break.(倾听你的身体，休息一下是很重要的)”以及后文“It’s important to push yourself to exercise on a regular basis, as this brings with it both physical and mental benefits.(强迫自己定期锻炼是很重要的，因为这对身体和精神都有好处)”可知，此处与上文构成转折关系，指出不要休息得太多，要强迫自己锻炼，故D选项“然而，不要让每天都变成休息日!”符合语境。故选D。
【28题详解】
根据上文“Make a list of things that cause your stress in all ways of your life.(列一张清单，列出在你生活的各个方面给你带来压力的事情)”可知，上文提到了列清单，可知本句是在说明接下来应该对清单上的事情做什么，故C选项“下一步是尽力避免清单上所列出的事情”符合语境，下文“If they are unavoidable(如果它们是不可避免的)”也是提示。故选C。
29题详解】
根据下文“Money matters can be a significant source of stress and anxiety. But practising financial self-care through planning and budgeting can help to lessen this burden. No, it’s not as fun as treating yourself on payday, but creating a budget and sticking to it can enable you to take control of your financial wellbeing.(金钱问题可能是压力和焦虑的重要来源。但是，通过计划和预算来实践财务自我保健可以帮助减轻这种负担。不，这没有在发薪日犒赏自己有趣，但制定预算并坚持执行预算可以让你控制自己的财务状况)”可知，本段主要论述了如何管理自己财务的问题。A选项“管理你的财务”符合语境。故选A。
【30题详解】
根据后文“This plan will be based on the efforts and preparations made in the previous steps, allowing you to move forward with a clear direction and a strong sense of purpose.(这个计划将建立在之前的努力和准备的基础上，让你有一个明确的方向和强烈的目标感向前迈进)”可知此处总结全文，即完成上文提到的三个步骤后，你就可以开始制定一个可以实施的计划。E选项“在完成这三个步骤之后，你可以开始制定一个你可以执行的计划”符合语境，故选E。

Winter seems to drag on endlessly this time of year, so it’s only natural to start thinking about getting away, and the sunny south of France is calling your name!
Avignon

Chateau
Nothing says French countryside more than a chateau surrounded by acres of vineyards. There are wines to choose from. You can also explore the surrounding natural beauty on a horse ride, and they even run vineyard tours on horseback for a truly unique experience.

See the sights of the Museum Marseilles, Cathédrale La Major, and the historic Le Panier, while you walk around the streets.
Cannes
With amazing blue waters, fresh seafood, and mild winters, it’s an attractive destination to visit all year round.

One night, our house burned down. As a single mother with four kids, she cried bitterly. We had to move into the Ramada Inn, where my mother worked. This was the room where putting one foot in front of the next felt impossible. After four months of not having any of our own air to breathe, we were on the edge of just giving up.
One day Mother stood up, looking crazy. “Let’s go for a ride,” we looked at one another cautiously, not sure if we had heard right. “Come on,” she urged. “It’ll be fun.” We didn’t have fun in our family. Fun was something we might have known about once, which, however, seemed foreign to us now. Still, we piled into our 1972 blue Ford Torino, a blue so faded as to appear almost white. Mother started the car, saying “I thought we’d go to look at all the houses we’ve lived in.”
Embarking on rides that night was my first. Gradually, going for a ride in my mother’s car became a regular thing. Every night we piled into the car and the world changed. We even sang “You Are My Sunshine” and a million other songs. The hope we seemed to have lost in the rest of our life was real again in the car as we sang. One night as we were singing loudly, “In the pines, in the pines, where the sun never shines and you shiver when the cold wind blows ...” Mother suddenly stopped the car. “This is it!” she cried.
“This” was a house, and a for-rent sign in the front yard brought me more joy than I could believe. “Really ” I asked in a low voice. My mother was excited and we all went to look. We might have a house again. That night, I realized my mother was like us. The following weekend, we moved in. The nights in the car were over. Better off, we had new jobs and activities now. One summer in the Torino had saved us. We had lost our home, but my mother had found a way to bring us together and keep us that way.

A 420-meter white steel tube running alongside a railway line in the northern Netherlands could be the start of a new kind of transportation for people and goods. The tube from Hyperloop Center is the heart of the new transport technology that opened recently in Veendam. Developers from Hyperloop Center will be testing the changing technology there over the coming years.
Hyperloop technology was once supported by business leader Elon Musk. Its supporters say it is far faster than short flights, high-speed rail, and trucks. When Musk first presented the idea, he said it could transport people the nearly 645 kilometers between Los Angeles and San Francisco in 30 minutes. But since then, progress has been slow to get from an idea to the real world.
Sascha Lamme is the center’s director. He expects to have the first Hyperloop route by 2030. He said, “There are already preparations being done for such routes in for example Italy or India.”
Robert Noland is a professor at the Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy at Rutgers University in New Jersey. He told The Associated Press that policy makers go after big ideas of the future but they should invest in simpler transportation structures. He added, “It costs too much to build.” But Lamme noted that they have not added all of the ways they can reduce costs over the next ten years.
The test center’s tube is made up of 34 separate sections mostly 2 and a half meters wide. A piece of equipment next to the tube removes air in the tube to reduce the pressure inside the tube. That reduces air resistance and permits capsules to travel at such high speeds. A capsule built by Dutch hyperloop company Hardt Hyperloop will be tested next month. It receives financial support from private investments, local and national governments, and the European Commission.
While testing continues in Veendam, hyperloop developers hope that routes for their technology will be coming. Lamme stated that getting government authorization (授权) for building routes is their main hardship they encountered. And he said finding new financial support to test and show the technology is what is needed to make this happen.
18. What does Hyperloop Center aim to do
A. Build a 420-meter white steel tube. B. Develop a new transport technology.
C. Ask for donations from the local company. D. Meet the challenges of the new technology.
19 What is the benefit of Hyperloop technology compared to traditional vehicles
A. It’s more eco-friendly. B. It’s cheaper.
C. It’s more efficient. D. It’s much safer.
20. What is Robert Noland’s attitude towards Hyperloop’s future
A. Unclear. B. Indifferent. C. Approving. D. Doubtful.
21. What is the main difficulty about building routes according to Lamme
A. Finding some new financial supports. B. Gaining the government’s approval.
C. Travelling at a very high speed. D. Running along a railway line.

Joyce Loaiza lives alone in a community for older people in Florida. When she is home, the retired office worker often talks with a friendly female voice that asks about her day. A few kilometers away, the same voice helped 83-year-old Deanna Dezern when her friend died. In New York state, it plays games and music for 92-year-old Marie Broadbent. And in Washington state, it helps 83-year-old Jan Worrell make new friends.
The women are some of the first in the United States to receive the robot ElliQ made by Intuition Robotics. The company and other officials say it is the only device using AI to help older Americans from loneliness.
“You can actually talk to her,” said Loaiza, who is 81. Her ElliQ calls her “Jellybean” for no clear reason. She said amusingly, “She’ll make comments like, ‘I’d go outside if I had hands, but I can’t hold an umbrella.’”
The device looks like a small table light and it has an eyeless, mouthless head that lights up and turns. It remembers each user’s interests and their talks, helping create a special experience with each new discussion. They can be as deep as the meaning of life or as light as a small joke. ElliQ also plays music and provides creative or spiritual sayings. On a video screen that comes with it, it will show different cities and places of interest. The device leads exercises, asks about the owner’s health, and lets the users know when to take medicines and drink water. Intuition Robotics says none of the conversations are heard by the company, with the information staying on each owner’s device.
Intuition Robotics CEO Dor Skuler said the idea for ElliQ came before he launched his company eight years ago. His grandfather who lost his partner needed a helper, but the first did not work out. Skuler then thought a robot could fill the space of a friend by adapting to each person and their interests. He said, “That just did not exist anywhere.” The average user interacts with ElliQ more than 30 times a day and more than 90 percent report lower levels of loneliness, Skuler said.
22. Why are some women in America mentioned in paragraph 1
A. To introduce a topic. B. To explain a concept.
C. To make a comment. D. To make a prediction.
23. Which word can best describe ElliQ from what Loaiza said
A. Powerful. B. Entertaining. C. Ignorant. D. Annoying.
24. What can ElliQ do according to the text
A. Act as a table light. B. Make a short video.
C. Remind users to take pills. D. Hold an umbrella.
25. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about
A The unique feature of ElliQ. B. The wide popularity of ElliQ.
C. The working principle about ElliQ. D. The inspiration of inventing ElliQ.
