Hi, everyone! This is the monthly meeting of our club. We’ve been lucky to have got good advice from some famous athletes on how to improve our skills and build up our body. Today, we’ll hear something different. We’re honored to have Emma Wilson here. Emma is a health expert and lecturer from UBC, the University of British Columbia. Emma worked for a football team in Manchester, then for a very successful rugby team in Dublin, and finally ended up working here in Vancouver. Emma says it’s challenging to be a health expert because people can be easily influenced by advertisements that lack scientific support. Also, people aren’t willing to change their views about food and nutrition, as there is so much confusing information online. It’s really important to hear what experts say, and that’s why we’ve invited Emma here. She isn’t going to tell us about everything we should eat, but she will teach us to make better choices. Let’s welcome Emma Wilson.

B
Baseball was always where my heart lay. However, my father did not care for baseball. Two recreational activities he enjoyed were golfing and fishing, neither of which I considered a real sport. He didn’t talk much and he wasn’t good at expressing himself. Frankly, I wasn’t entirely certain he cared about me. In a way, my father was like a familiar stranger I saw every day.
One day, watching the play on TV made me want a glove of my own. To my surprise, my father said he wanted one, too. He was on the portly side, but then again, one of the famous pitchers (投球手) on the Mets was even fatter. So I thought, why not
We bought two gloves, and that evening, he suggested that we go out to the courtyard and that I toss the ball around. I’d already practiced catching and throwing at school, but I could tell this was the first time for my father, because every time he caught the ball, it landed directly in his palm (手掌). If you’ve ever caught a ball with a baseball glove, you know how much this hurts.
But my father caught ball after ball this way. Slap! Slap! He winced (呲牙咧嘴). After about five minutes, I told him I’d had enough. It wasn’t out of mercy, but for my own self-interest. Neighborhood kids were watching and would no doubt laugh at me later for having an old man who didn’t know how to properly catch a baseball do that. When my father took the glove off, his palm was red and swollen.
Dad, who passed away 11 years ago, never told me he loved me. But that sound of the baseball landing in the soft flesh of his hand, over and over again—it spoke its own kind language, though at the time, all I felt was shame.
24．Why did the father want a glove
A．He was interested in baseball. B．He was impressed by the play on TV.
C．He wanted to show his skills in baseball. D．He wanted to make the author happy.
25．What does the underlined word “toss” mean in Paragraph 3
A．Pick. B．Catch. C．Throw. D．Practise.
26．What can we learn from Paragraph 4
A．The author criticized his father when playing.
B．The author’s father was good at playing baseball.
C．The author’s father hated to play baseball with him.
D．It really hurt when his father caught the balls.
27．Which could be the best title for the passage
A．Baseball and I B．The Sound of Love
C．Practice Makes Perfect D．Love That Never Comes
【答案】24．D 25．C 26．D 27．B
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者对父亲陪自己打棒球的经历的回忆，通过打棒球表现出父亲对作者深深的爱。
24．推理判断题。根据第一段“However, my father did not care for baseball.(然而，我父亲并不喜欢棒球)”、第三段“We bought two gloves, and that evening, he suggested that we go out to the courtyard and that I toss the ball around.(我们买了两只手套，那天晚上，他建议我们去院子里，让我把球抛来抛去)”以及最后一段“Dad, who passed away 11 years ago, never told me he loved me. But that sound of the baseball landing in the soft flesh of his hand, over and over again—it spoke its own kind language, though at the time, all I felt was shame.(11年前去世的父亲从未告诉我他爱我。但棒球一次又一次地落在他柔软的手掌上的声音——它说出了自己善良的语言，尽管当时我只感到羞愧)”可推知，作者的父亲想要一副手套是因为他想要陪作者练习棒球，想让作者感觉开心。故选D项。
25．词句猜测题。根据第三段“We bought two gloves, and that evening, he suggested that we go out to the courtyard and that I toss the ball around. I’d already practiced catching and throwing at school, but I could tell this was the first time for my father, because every time he caught the ball, it landed directly in his palm (手掌).(我们买了两只手套，那天晚上，他建议我们去院子里，让我toss棒球。我在学校已经练习过接球和投球，但我看得出来这是我父亲第一次，因为每次他接球，球都直接落在他的手掌上)”可推知，作者和父亲在院子里，作者投球，父亲接球，划线单词表示“投掷”，与throw同义。故选C项。
26．细节理解题。根据第四段“He winced.(他呲牙咧嘴)”以及“When my father took the glove off, his palm was red and swollen.(当我父亲摘下手套时，他的手掌又红又肿)”可知，作者的父亲接球时呲牙咧嘴，摘下手套时手掌红肿，所以作者的父亲接球的时候一定很疼。故选D项。
27．主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Dad, who passed away 11 years ago, never told me he loved me. But that sound
of the baseball landing in the soft flesh of his hand, over and over again—it spoke its own kind language, though at the time, all I felt was shame.(11年前去世的父亲从未告诉我他爱我。但棒球一次又一次地落在他柔软的手掌上的声音——它说出了自己善良的语言，尽管当时我只感到羞愧)”以及文章内容可知，文章讲述了作者的父亲陪作者打棒球的经历，棒球落在父亲手掌上的声音表现出父亲对作者深深的爱，所以“爱的声音”可以作为文章标题。故选B项。
C
Hundreds of millions of birds die every year from crashing into windows, one of the biggest sources of human-caused bird deaths — far greater than wind turbines (涡轮) and airplane strikes put together. In an attempt to help birds see the windows before it’s too late, people may stick decals (贴纸) or coloured films on their windows — often on the indoor side.But a recent study challenges the effectiveness of this practice.
“Putting these window films on the inside really is not giving you the benefit that you would want for protecting the birds,” says John P. Swaddle, lead author of the new study.
To test the films’ effectiveness, Swaddle and his colleagues applied one of two commercially available (可获得的) films to either inside or outside window surfaces. One film reflected shorter light wavelengths that humans cannot see, and the other reflected longer wavelengths (many birds can see both). The researchers also fixed super-fine nets in front of the windows to keep birds from actually hitting the glass. Both films helped to prevent bird strikes by more than 35 percent when put on the outside surface, the study found — but films on the inside had no benefit at all.
“It’s some groundbreaking work about the differences of what can and can’t work in terms of preventing window strikes from birds,” says George Mason University biologist David Luther.
People usually find it much easier to put films or decals on the indoor side of a window, says Natalia Ocampo-Penuela, a conservation ecologist. For taller buildings, to apply something to the outside, “you need scaffolding (脚手架)...you need to clean the windows extra well for them to apply correctly, and they don’t last as long.”
Swaddle assumes that films placed on the inside don’t effectively stop the reflection of outside light. This might also be the case with decals, although those were not tested in this study, he says.
28．What’s the main killer for human-caused bird death
A．Wind turbines. B．Air pollution.
C．Window strikes. D．Airplane crashes.
29．According to Swaddle’s test, which factor is significant in preventing bird strikes
A．Types of films.
B．Availability of films.
C．Places to put films.
D．Wavelengths films reflected.
30．What is David Luther’s attitude towards the study
A．Doubtful. B．Positive.
C．Unclear. D．Confused.
31．What’s paragraph 5 mainly about
A．How long the films will last when put correctly.
B．What is needed to clean the windows completely.
C．How people apply films to the outside of buildings.
D．Why people choose to place films inside the window.
【答案】28．C 29．C 30．B 31．D
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍鸟类因撞击窗户死亡成为人类造成鸟类死亡的最大原因之一，为了帮助鸟儿及时看到窗户，人们通常会在窗户室内一侧贴纸或彩色薄膜，然而，最近的一项研究对这种做法的有效性提出了质疑。研究发现，将膜贴在窗户玻璃外表面可以防止鸟类撞击窗户的发生，但贴在室内则没有任何效果。
28．细节理解题。根据第一段“Hundreds of millions of birds die every year from crashing into windows, one of the biggest sources of human-caused bird deaths — far greater than wind turbines (涡轮) and airplane strikes put together. (每年有数亿只鸟因撞到窗户而死亡，这是人类造成鸟类死亡的最大原因之一，远远超过风力涡轮机和飞机撞击的总和。)”可知，鸟因撞到窗户而死亡是人类造成鸟类死亡的最大原因之一，撞到窗户而死亡的鸟的数量比因风力涡轮机和飞机撞击而死亡的数量总和还要多得多；由此可知，撞击窗户是人类造成鸟类死亡的主要杀手。故选C。
29．推理判断题。根据第三段中“To test the films’ effectiveness, Swaddle and his colleagues applied one of two commercially available (可获得的) films to either inside or outside window surfaces. One film reflected shorter light wavelengths that humans cannot see, and the other reflected longer wavelengths (many birds can see both). The researchers also fixed super-fine nets in front of the windows to keep birds from actually hitting the glass. (为了测试薄膜的有效性，Swaddle和他的同事将两种商用薄膜中的一种贴在窗户里面或外面。一种薄膜反射的是人类看不见的较短波长，另一部则反射的是较长波长（许多鸟类都能看到）。研究人员还在窗户前固定了超细的网，以防止鸟类真正撞击玻璃。研究发现，这两种薄膜贴在窗户玻璃外表面有助于防止35%以
上的鸟类撞击，但贴在里面的薄膜根本没有任何益处。)”可知，在Swaddle的试验中，薄膜贴在窗户玻璃外面有助于防止35%以上的鸟类撞击，而把薄膜贴在里面则根本不起作用；由此可知，在Swaddle的试验中，薄膜所贴的位置是非常重要的。故选C。
30．推理判断题。根据第四段“‘It’s some groundbreaking work about the differences of what can and can’t work in terms of preventing window strikes from birds,’ says George Mason University biologist David Luther.(乔治梅森大学的生物学家David Luther说：‘这是一项开创性的工作，研究了在防止鸟类撞击窗户方面，什么能起作用，什么不能起作用。’)”可知，David Luther认为这项研究是一项具有开创性的工作，它研究了防止鸟类撞击窗户方面什么样的措施才是有效的；由此可知，David Luther对这项研究是持肯定态度的。故选B。
31．主旨大意题。根据第五段“People usually find it much easier to put films or decals on the indoor side of a window, says Natalia Ocampo-Penuela, a conservation ecologist. For taller buildings, to apply something to the outside, ‘you need scaffolding (脚手架)...you need to clean the windows extra well for them to apply correctly, and they don’t last as long.’ (保护生态学家Natalia Ocampo-Penuela说，人们通常发现在窗户的室内一面贴上薄膜或贴纸要容易得多。对于更高的建筑来说，要在外面应用一些东西，‘你需要脚手架……你需要把窗户擦得特别干净，这样才能贴好，而且它们不会持续很长时间。’)”可知，本段引用保护生态学家Natalia Ocampo-Penuela所说的话，说明人类把薄膜贴在窗户玻璃里面要容易得多，而贴在窗户玻璃外面难度较大，而且贴在外面的薄膜持续时间也要短得多；由此可知，第5段主要阐述人们通常把薄膜贴在窗户里面的原因。D选项“Why people choose to place films inside the window.(为什么人们选择把膜贴在窗户里面。)”能够概括本段主旨。故选D。
D
It’s a late night in the Metro area of Phoenix, Arizona. Under the streetlights, a car can be seen slowly approaching and parking. A green and blue ‘W’ glows (发光) from the windscreen, giving off just enough light to see inside—showing a completely empty driver seat. When the person waiting for it opens the door to climb inside, a voice greets him. “Good evening, this car is yours,” it says. This is a Waymo One robotaxi, ordered just 10 minutes ago using an app.
The promise of driverless technology has long been inviting. It has the potential to improve our experience of commuting (通勤) and long journeys and take people out of high-risk working environments. It’s key to helping us build the cities of the future, lowering carbon emissions. And it could make traveling safer. “We want safer roads and less accidents. Automation (自动化) could provide that, ” says Camilla Fowler, head of automated transport for the UK’s Transport Research Laboratory (TRL).
But in order for driverless technology to become mainstream, much still needs to change.
“Driverless vehicles should be a very calm way of getting from A to B．But not every human driver around it will be driving in that way,” says David Hynd, from TRL. “It’s got to be able to deal with human drivers speeding, for instance, or breaking the rules of the road.”
And that’s not the only challenge. There’s regulation, rethinking the highway code, public perception, improving the infrastructure (基础设施) of our streets, towns, cities, and the big question of ultimate responsibility for road accidents. “The whole insurance industry is looking into how they’re going to deal with that change from a person being responsible and in charge to the vehicle doing that,” says Richard Jinks, vice president of commercial at Oxfordshire-based driverless vehicle software company Oxbotica, which has been testing its technology in cars and delivery vehicles at several locations across the UK and Europe.
The ultimate vision (终极愿景) experts are working towards is of completely driverless vehicles, not only for personal use but also for industry and wider transport networks, that can be used anywhere and everywhere around the world.
But with all these challenges in place, what exactly does the next 10 years have in store for autonomous vehicles
32．What is special about the car mentioned in paragraph 1
A．It drives very slowly.
B．It is automatic and drives itself.
C．It can sense its driver’s feelings.
D．There is enough light to see inside.
33．What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about driverless vehicles
A．Their main dangers. B．Their special design.
C．Their wide popularity. D．Their potential advantages.
34．With what might Hynd and Jinks both agree about driverless technology
A．It isn’t ready for wide application.
B．It will make driving a safe experience.
C．It isn’t developing as smoothly as planned.
D．It will increase profits in the insurance industry.
35．How does the author feel about the future of driverless vehicles
A．Hopeful. B．Surprised. C．Uncertain. D．Disappointed.
【答案】32．B 33．D 34．A 35．C
【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍自动驾驶技术的潜力和挑战。
32．细节理解题。根据第一段“It’s a late night in the Metro area of Phoenix, Arizona. Under the streetlights, a car can be seen slowly approaching and parking. A green and blue ‘W’ glows (发光) from the windscreen, giving off just enough light to see inside—showing a completely empty driver seat. When the person waiting for it opens the door to climb inside, a voice greets him. “Good evening, this car is yours,” it says. This is a Waymo One robotaxi, ordered just 10 minutes ago using an app.(这是亚利桑那州凤凰城地铁区的一个深夜。在街灯下，可以看到一辆汽车慢慢驶来并停了下来。挡风玻璃上发出绿色和蓝色的“W”光，发出的光刚好可以看到里面——显示出一个完全空着的驾驶座。当等待它的人打开门爬进去时，一个声音向他打招呼。“晚上好，这辆车是你的，”上面写着。这是一辆Waymo One机器人出租车，10分钟前刚刚使用应用程序订购。)”可知，这一段提到这种出租车是可以自动驾驶的。故选B。
33．主旨大意题。根据第二段“The promise of driverless technology has long been inviting. It has the potential to improve our experience of commuting (通勤) and long journeys and take people out of high-risk working environments. It’s key to helping us build the cities of the future, lowering carbon emissions. And it could make traveling safer. “We want safer roads and less accidents. Automation (自动化) could provide that, ” says Camilla Fowler, head of automated transport for the UK’s Transport Research Laboratory (TRL). (无人驾驶技术的前景一直很诱人。它有可能改善我们的通勤和长途旅行体验，让人们远离高风险的工作环境。这是帮助我们建设未来城市、降低碳排放的关键。它可以使旅行更安全。英国交通研究实验室（TRL）自动化交通负责人卡米拉·福勒表示：“我们希望道路更安全，事故更少。自动化可以提供这一点。”)”可知，这一段主要介绍无人驾驶汽车的潜力。故选D。
34．推理判断题。根据第四段“It’s got to be able to deal with human drivers speeding, for instance, or breaking the rules of the road. (它必须能够处理人类司机超速行驶或违反道路规则的问题。)”和第五段“The whole insurance industry is looking into how they’re going to deal with that change from a person being responsible and in charge to the vehicle doing that (整个保险业都在研究如何应对这种变化，从负责人到车辆)”可知，Hynd和Jinks认为，无人驾驶技术还没有做好广泛应用的准备。故选A。
35．推理判断题。根据最后一段“But with all these challenges in place, what exactly does the next 10 years have in store for autonomous vehicles (但是，面对所有这些挑战，未来10年自动驾驶汽车究竟会有什么发展？)”可知，作者对无人驾驶汽车的未来感到不确定。故选C。

● Fight sitting disease by standing at work
Work is a place where many of us sit for hours, and the result is a lost opportunity to burn hundreds of calories every day. 38 . Standing obviously puts more stress on the body than sitting, thus it will burn more calories. If you stand for an entire workday, it can help increase leg strength and endurance.
● Make house cleaning a part of your fitness routine
39 . It can strengthen your muscles without you even realizing it. Dragging around a heavy vacuum (吸尘器) isn’t an easy task, especially if you are going up and down stairs.

Preparing food certainly burns more calories. To control what goes in your mouth, you can plan ahead and have a home-cooked meal. This way, you know exactly what went into your meal and it can be prepared faster and less expensively than making that extra stop at a restaurant.
A．A stand-up desk could help to change that
B．Decorate your home to stay comfortable and active
C．Actually, it is the best way to go to the gym every day
D．Control your diet and burn calories by cooking at home
E．However, losing your weight doesn’t require an expensive gym membership
F．Cleaning your home regularly is another way to ensure that you stay active
G．To burn calories, you’d better walk faster and devote more time to each walk
【答案】36．E 37．G 38．A 39．F 40．D
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。和大多数人一样，你可能长时间坐着，体重也会增加。文章介绍一些简单的日常活动来保持运动，就会看到体重逐渐减轻。
36．根据上文提示“Like most people, you probably spend a lot of time sitting and gain weight. For the sake of good health, you may balance out your time in the chair with trips to the gym.（和大多数人一样，你可能长时间坐着，体重也会增加。为了身体健康，你可以把坐在椅子上的时间和去健身房的时间平衡一下。）”再根
据下文提示“Just try some of these simple everyday activities to keep moving, and watch the pounds melt away.（只要尝试这些简单的日常活动来保持运动，就会看到体重逐渐消失。）”可知，减肥不一定要去健身房。承接上下文，E项However, losing your weight doesn’t require an expensive gym membership（然而，减肥并不需要昂贵的健身房会员卡）切题，与上文构成转折关系。故选E。
37．根据下文提示“Use a pedometer(计步器) to keep track of how much you’re walking, and slowly work up to 10,000 steps a day.（使用计步器来记录你走了多少步，慢慢增加到每天1万步。）”可知，步频要快。顺承下文，G项To burn calories, you’d better walk faster and devote more time to each walk（为了燃烧卡路里，你最好走得快一点，每次走多花点时间）切题。故选G。
38．根据上文提示“Work is a place where many of us sit for hours, and the result is a lost opportunity to burn hundreds of calories every day.（工作是一个我们很多人坐上几个小时的地方，结果是失去了每天燃烧数百卡路里的机会。）”再根据下文提示“Standing obviously puts more stress on the body than sitting, thus it will burn more calories.（显然，站着比坐着给身体带来更多的压力，因此它会燃烧更多的卡路里。）”可知，站着比坐着更能燃烧卡路里。由此可知，A项A stand-up desk could help to change that（站立式办公桌可以帮助改变这种状况）切题。故选A。
39．根据下文提示“It can strengthen your muscles without you even realizing it. Dragging around a heavy vacuum (吸尘器) isn’t an easy task, especially if you are going up and down stairs.（它可以在你没有意识到的情况下增强你的肌肉。拖着一个沉重的吸尘器不是一件容易的事，尤其是当你要上下楼梯的时候。）”可知，在家里打扫卫生会让你保持身体活跃。顺承下文，F项Cleaning your home regularly is another way to ensure that you stay active（定期打扫你的家是另一种确保你保持活跃的方法）切题。故选F。
40．该空是一个小标题，应该用祈使句，所以在B项和D项中选择。再根据下文提示“Preparing food certainly burns more calories. To control what goes in your mouth, you can plan ahead and have a home-cooked meal.（准备食物当然会燃烧更多的卡路里。为了控制吃进嘴里的东西，你可以提前计划，吃一顿家常菜。）”可知，在家做饭是一个好方法。由此可知，D项Control your diet and burn calories by cooking at home（控制饮食，在家做饭燃烧卡路里）切题。故选D。

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使其构成一篇完整的短文。
Michelle and I had been best friends since the fourth grade. She was a beautiful girl inside and out, one of the kindest I’d ever met. We were like paper and glue—completely inseparable.
It was in the eighth grade that things slowly started to change between Michelle and me. I became a social butterfly, flying around to different groups of friends, discussing the hottest gossip (八卦). Although I made many new friends that year, I still loved Michelle and wanted her to hang out with my new, fairly large social group. I
tried to drag her along to my social gatherings, . but I soon noticed the disapproving (不赞成的) looks and whispers about Michelle—a clear message that she was not cool enough to hang out with us.
One night, one of my new friends, Jamie, came over after school. I was excited that she wanted to come over to my house and spend time with me. After a couple of hours of laughing and having a great time, Michelle’s name came up in our conversation. Slowly, a mischievous (恶意的) smile formed on Jamie’s face. Jamie ordered that I tell Michelle that Jamie was my best friend then. Afraid that my new friends would dislike me if I refused, just like they did to Michelle, I picked up the phone, dialed Michelle’s number and said it out to her without hesitation. She was more sad, heartbroken and angry than I’d expected, and as I listened to her cry over the phone, I remembered how close we used to be. At that moment, I realized how much I treasured her friendship, and how cruel my actions were. Needing to think about what I had just done, I got off the phone.
I soon called Michelle back and told her the truth and I was deeply sorry that I ever decided to betray (背叛) her. I was sorry for not being there for her in the last few months, and I was sorry for letting my friends pressure me into situations like these. I wanted to be her best friend again.

【答案】 But she was not as forgiving as I had hoped. The next day, I found her and said sorry to her in person. “I should not have said these words as Jamie told me. I am really sorry. Can we be good friends again ” I asked
sincerely. “No, you are not my friend again. It is Jamie who is your best friend. Go to play with her, your best friend!!” She said angrily and then left, leaving me there all alone. I knew I really hurt her this time. What should I do to make her forgive me In the next few days, she didn’t talk to me any more. I felt so sad.
A week later, Michelle asked for leave because she was ill. Knowing that, I was very worried. Should I go to see her But what if she didn’t see me I was troubled by these questions and didn’t know what to do. But I knew I was very worried about her. So after the inner struggle, I finally gathered my courage to see her. When I arrived her home, she was surprised to see me. Nervously, I came near her and asked, “Are you all right ” “Fine,” she said softly, “I am sorry for treating you like that. Can we be good friends again!” “Of course, it is I who should say sorry. You are always my best friend.” I said. Then, we both smiled.

Baseball was always where my heart lay. However, my father did not care for baseball. Two recreational activities he enjoyed were golfing and fishing, neither of which I considered a real sport. He didn’t talk much and he wasn’t good at expressing himself. Frankly, I wasn’t entirely certain he cared about me. In a way, my father was like a familiar stranger I saw every day.
One day, watching the play on TV made me want a glove of my own. To my surprise, my father said he wanted one, too. He was on the portly side, but then again, one of the famous pitchers (投球手) on the Mets was even fatter. So I thought, why not
We bought two gloves, and that evening, he suggested that we go out to the courtyard and that I toss the ball around. I’d already practiced catching and throwing at school, but I could tell this was the first time for my father, because every time he caught the ball, it landed directly in his palm (手掌). If you’ve ever caught a ball with a baseball glove, you know how much this hurts.
But my father caught ball after ball this way. Slap! Slap! He winced (呲牙咧嘴). After about five minutes, I told him I’d had enough. It wasn’t out of mercy, but for my own self-interest. Neighborhood kids were watching and would no doubt laugh at me later for having an old man who didn’t know how to properly catch a baseball do that. When my father took the glove off, his palm was red and swollen.
Dad, who passed away 11 years ago, never told me he loved me. But that sound of the baseball landing in the soft flesh of his hand, over and over again—it spoke its own kind language, though at the time, all I felt was shame.
24．Why did the father want a glove
A．He was interested in baseball. B．He was impressed by the play on TV.
C．He wanted to show his skills in baseball. D．He wanted to make the author happy.
25．What does the underlined word “toss” mean in Paragraph 3
A．Pick. B．Catch. C．Throw. D．Practise.
26．What can we learn from Paragraph 4
A．The author criticized his father when playing.
B．The author’s father was good at playing baseball.
C．The author’s father hated to play baseball with him.
D．It really hurt when his father caught the balls.
27．Which could be the best title for the passage

Hundreds of millions of birds die every year from crashing into windows, one of the biggest sources of human-caused bird deaths — far greater than wind turbines (涡轮) and airplane strikes put together. In an attempt to help birds see the windows before it’s too late, people may stick decals (贴纸) or coloured films on their windows — often on the indoor side.But a recent study challenges the effectiveness of this practice.
“Putting these window films on the inside really is not giving you the benefit that you would want for protecting the birds,” says John P. Swaddle, lead author of the new study.
To test the films’ effectiveness, Swaddle and his colleagues applied one of two commercially available (可获得的) films to either inside or outside window surfaces. One film reflected shorter light wavelengths that humans cannot see, and the other reflected longer wavelengths (many birds can see both). The researchers also fixed super-fine nets in front of the windows to keep birds from actually hitting the glass. Both films helped to prevent bird strikes by more than 35 percent when put on the outside surface, the study found — but films on the inside had no benefit at all.
“It’s some groundbreaking work about the differences of what can and can’t work in terms of preventing window strikes from birds,” says George Mason University biologist David Luther.
People usually find it much easier to put films or decals on the indoor side of a window, says Natalia Ocampo-Penuela, a conservation ecologist. For taller buildings, to apply something to the outside, “you need scaffolding (脚手架)...you need to clean the windows extra well for them to apply correctly, and they don’t last as long.”
Swaddle assumes that films placed on the inside don’t effectively stop the reflection of outside light. This might also be the case with decals, although those were not tested in this study, he says.
28．What’s the main killer for human-caused bird death
A．Wind turbines. B．Air pollution.
C．Window strikes. D．Airplane crashes.
29．According to Swaddle’s test, which factor is significant in preventing bird strikes
A．Types of films.
B．Availability of films.
C．Places to put films.
D．Wavelengths films reflected.
30．What is David Luther’s attitude towards the study
A．Doubtful. B．Positive.
C．Unclear. D．Confused.
31．What’s paragraph 5 mainly about
A．How long the films will last when put correctly.
B．What is needed to clean the windows completely.
C．How people apply films to the outside of buildings.
D．Why people choose to place films inside the window.

It’s a late night in the Metro area of Phoenix, Arizona. Under the streetlights, a car can be seen slowly approaching and parking. A green and blue ‘W’ glows (发光) from the windscreen, giving off just enough light to see inside—showing a completely empty driver seat. When the person waiting for it opens the door to climb inside, a voice greets him. “Good evening, this car is yours,” it says. This is a Waymo One robotaxi, ordered just 10 minutes ago using an app.
The promise of driverless technology has long been inviting. It has the potential to improve our experience of commuting (通勤) and long journeys and take people out of high-risk working environments. It’s key to helping us build the cities of the future, lowering carbon emissions. And it could make traveling safer. “We want safer roads and less accidents. Automation (自动化) could provide that, ” says Camilla Fowler, head of automated transport for the UK’s Transport Research Laboratory (TRL).
But in order for driverless technology to become mainstream, much still needs to change.
“Driverless vehicles should be a very calm way of getting from A to B．But not every human driver around it will be driving in that way,” says David Hynd, from TRL. “It’s got to be able to deal with human drivers speeding, for instance, or breaking the rules of the road.”
And that’s not the only challenge. There’s regulation, rethinking the highway code, public perception, improving the infrastructure (基础设施) of our streets, towns, cities, and the big question of ultimate responsibility for road accidents. “The whole insurance industry is looking into how they’re going to deal with that change from a person being responsible and in charge to the vehicle doing that,” says Richard Jinks, vice president of commercial at Oxfordshire-based driverless vehicle software company Oxbotica, which has been
testing its technology in cars and delivery vehicles at several locations across the UK and Europe.
The ultimate vision (终极愿景) experts are working towards is of completely driverless vehicles, not only for personal use but also for industry and wider transport networks, that can be used anywhere and everywhere around the world.
But with all these challenges in place, what exactly does the next 10 years have in store for autonomous vehicles
32．What is special about the car mentioned in paragraph 1
A．It drives very slowly.
B．It is automatic and drives itself.
C．It can sense its driver’s feelings.
D．There is enough light to see inside.
33．What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about driverless vehicles
A．Their main dangers. B．Their special design.
C．Their wide popularity. D．Their potential advantages.
34．With what might Hynd and Jinks both agree about driverless technology
A．It isn’t ready for wide application.
B．It will make driving a safe experience.
C．It isn’t developing as smoothly as planned.
D．It will increase profits in the insurance industry.
35．How does the author feel about the future of driverless vehicles
A．Hopeful. B．Surprised. C．Uncertain. D．Disappointed.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使其构成一篇完整的短文。
Michelle and I had been best friends since the fourth grade. She was a beautiful girl inside and out, one of the kindest I’d ever met. We were like paper and glue—completely inseparable.
It was in the eighth grade that things slowly started to change between Michelle and me. I became a social butterfly, flying around to different groups of friends, discussing the hottest gossip (八卦). Although I made many new friends that year, I still loved Michelle and wanted her to hang out with my new, fairly large social group. I tried to drag her along to my social gatherings, . but I soon noticed the disapproving (不赞成的) looks and whispers about Michelle—a clear message that she was not cool enough to hang out with us.
One night, one of my new friends, Jamie, came over after school. I was excited that she wanted to come over to my house and spend time with me. After a couple of hours of laughing and having a great time, Michelle’s name came up in our conversation. Slowly, a mischievous (恶意的) smile formed on Jamie’s face. Jamie ordered that I tell Michelle that Jamie was my best friend then. Afraid that my new friends would dislike me if I refused, just like they did to Michelle, I picked up the phone, dialed Michelle’s number and said it out to her without hesitation. She was more sad, heartbroken and angry than I’d expected, and as I listened to her cry over the phone, I remembered how close we used to be. At that moment, I realized how much I treasured her friendship, and how cruel my actions were. Needing to think about what I had just done, I got off the phone.
I soon called Michelle back and told her the truth and I was deeply sorry that I ever decided to betray (背叛) her. I was sorry for not being there for her in the last few months, and I was sorry for letting my friends pressure me into situations like these. I wanted to be her best friend again.
