阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Join us for the opening of the schools
of the future exhibition—event
The year is 2035. A group of schoolchildren head over to a garden for lunch and, after the break, teachers send lessons into headsets (头戴式耳机) worn by students. The wearable tech is able to read body signals to make sure the child is concentrating (全神贯注) and can differentiate the lessons according to how their young charge is getting along. It can also send a full progress assessment to the teacher.
This is one picture of the future of school life, but how likely is it Over the past five months, the Guardian Teacher Network has been exploring how schools might develop over the next twenty years and beyond. Our journalists have explored a series of topics from whether computers could replace teachers and how some libraries are breaking with tradition, to the rise of outdoor learning and the forest school revolution. One area that provides much food for thought is the future of school dinners. Journalist Matthew Jenkin has looked back at Jamie Oliver's campaign against Turkey Twizzlers, deciding that the next hot topics include mealtimes and foods.
We're now bringing these ideas to life in an exciting exhibition, supported by Zurich Municipal, held at our offices in London. It is free to attend. We'll be hearing from Liz Sproat, the head of education for Google across Europe, Middle East and Africa.
We'd love for you to join us for a spot of future drinks and food.
Date: Sunday 17 June
Time: 6：30 pm to 8：30 pm
Location: The Guardian, 90 York Way, London, N1 9GU
Cost: Free
Speakers: Charles Leadbeater, author and education advisor

Here on the island of Demesne, the humans call us “clones”. I call myself Elysia, because that's what Dr Lusardi told me to call myself. I started to exist just weeks ago. But I am a sixteen－year－old girl with no soul. I know nothing of my First, the girl I was cloned from.
We entered a private room, just me, the fancy lady Mrs Bratton, and Marisa.
The fancy lady pushes me with one of her fingers as one might poke a piece of fruit at the market. She gently pokes my flesh. She presses her hands against my back to test its firmness.
“She's attractive，” she says.
Marisa warns her, “Mrs Bratton, she is a Beta (a new product being tested by users). Dr Lusardi has not perfected the teen line yet.”
“I guess that will be reflected in the price，” says Mrs Bratton.
“Of course，” Marisa says. “Dr Lusardi will be thrilled to know someone is willing to take a chance on a teen Beta.”
Mrs Bratton looks at me, “What's your name, dear？”
“Elysia，” I say.
“I think you might make a wonderful addition to our household, Elysia. We're so badly missing a teenage girl ever since Astrid, my eldest, went off to Biome University，” she says sadly.
“Congratulations，” I say, because I know that's the appropriate thing to say to a parent whose child has studied in a well known university. “You must be very proud.”
Mrs Bratton's face brightens. “I am! But Astrid's so hard－working that she seldom comes back to visit us. We miss her a lot. Would you like to come to my family？”
“Yes, ma'am，” I say.
Marisa sends me back into the store when she finishes the negotiations with Mrs Bratton. I am to pick out some nice clothing to take to my new home, where I shall serve my new owner.

Someday, you may no longer need to brush your teeth by hand. Instead, a group of billions of nanoparticles (纳米粒子) could automatically do all that work for you. It would be especially life changing for people who find it difficult or impossible to hold and move a toothbrush.
Steager, an engineer at the University of Pennsylvania (Penn) in Philadelphia and Hyun Koo, an inventor and dental researcher there, found a way to form the nanoparticles into long, skinny bristles (刷毛), a lot like the ones on a toothbrush. But these bristles shape shift to fit whatever surface they encounter.
The tooth cleaning robot works thanks to two magnets. One goes each side of the teeth. The nanoparticles sit in a liquid between the magnets. When the magnets are turned off, the nanoparticles move randomly in the liquid. As soon as one magnet gets turned on, the nanoparticles gather together near its center. When the researchers turn on the other magnet and turn off the first one, the nanoparticles extend outward in long, skinny bristles. When there's a tooth in the way, these bristles can't stretch out as far as they want. So they push against the tooth's surface. If there's a gap between teeth, they push into the gap. Moving the magnets makes the bristles move against and between teeth. All that motion cleans the teeth. As a bonus, the nanoparticles also have strong power to kill viruses.
The new device is just a proof of concept. The researchers still need to turn it into a product that people will want to use. “There's a lot of engineering to get from here to there, but every good idea needs to have a start，” says Steager.
篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一款纳米材料制成的可变形机器人洁牙器。
28．What is special about the tooth cleaner
A．It's water proof.
B．It's transformable.
C．It looks like a toothbrush.
D．It contains skinny bristles.
答案：B
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中的“But these bristles shape－shift to fit whatever surface they encounter.”可知，这个洁牙产品能根据口腔内接触的表面变形。故选B。
29．What is Paragraph 3 mainly about
A．The working principle.
B．The magnets' motion.
C．The virus killing process.
D．The bristles' formation.
答案：A
解析：段落大意题。根据第三段内容，尤其是其中的“The tooth－cleaning robot ... each side of the teeth. (这款清洁牙齿的机器人依靠两块磁铁工作。牙齿两边各有一个。)”可知，第三段主要讲述了这款清洁牙齿的机器人的工作原理。故选A。
30．How does Steager feel about the future of the device
A．Uncertain. B．Confident.
C．Concerned. D．Surprised.
答案：B
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段内容可知，Steager(斯特亚赫尔)认为这个清洁牙齿的设备从概念转化为产品仍需大量工程研发，但是不失为一个好的想法。由此可推知，Steager对这款产品很自信。故选B。
31．Which of the following would be the best title
A．A Tooth Cleaner Fighting Bacteria
B．A Breakthrough in Medicine
C．A Shape Shifting Robotic Tooth Cleaner

The idea of having a car, a plane, or a drone (无人驾驶飞机) parked outside your home may not be as unlikely as it seems.
We are going to have personal air vehicles that are both cars and planes. At least that's Missy Cummings's vision of the future. It's basically the intersection of a drone with a robotic car, so your plane is also your car, but the quick development of technology is that you are actually driving neither.
Drones have a negative image in the media, says Cummings, because they are basically seen as spy cameras. But most people don't realize that when they are on a plane they are effectively travelling on a drone. The fly by wire technology that exists on all Airbuses and many crafts of Boeing is exactly the same technology that exists on drones.
The reason why drones are the answer to the future is that we are terrible drivers. Humans have a half second lag (滞后) in almost any quick response that they need to have. Even a half second delay can mean the difference between life and death, and computers and automated (自动化的) systems don't have that．
So, our transportation network of the future, both on the ground and in the air, will actually be safer when we turn it over to computers.
There really aren't any technological difficulties to this idea. The biggest difficulties we have in terms of giving up the car are psychological and cultural, but no new technology needs to be developed to have your own personal flying car. What we have to do is to improve production and reduce manufacturing costs.
People should be excited about this: it promises much in terms of safer travel, and people in parts of the world where the road and air networks are poor will be able to get the goods and services.
篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了未来飞行汽车的外观、技术、安全性以及便利性。
32．What is the meaning of the underlined word “intersection” in Paragraph 2
A．Cross. B．Section.
C．Communication. D．Structure.
答案：A
解析：词义猜测题。根据画线词上文“We are going to have personal air vehicles that are both cars and planes. (我们将会有私人空中交通工具，它既是汽车也是飞机。)”和下文“so your plane is also your car”可推知，画线词所在句句意为：它基本上是无人机和自动驾驶汽车的结合体。intersection意为“交叉”，与cross意思相近。故选A。
33．What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 4 refer to
A．The truth. B．The difference.
C．The quick response. D．A half second delay.
答案：D
解析：指代判断题。根据第四段中的“Humans have a half second ... systems don't have that. (人类几乎在任何他们需要快速反应时都有半秒的延迟。即使是半秒的延迟也可能意味着生与死的差别，而计算机和自动化系统没有这一点。)”可知，“that”指代上文中提到的“a half second delay (半秒的滞后)”。故选D。
34．What will most probably prevent the popularity of flying cars in the future
A．Their being expensive.
B．Lacking advanced technology.
C．People's not accepting the idea.
D．People's failing to improve production.
答案：C
解析：推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“The biggest difficulties we have in terms of giving up the car are psychological and cultural (在放弃汽车方面，我们面临的最大困难是来自心理和文化上的)”可推知，如果人们不接受这个想法，很可能会阻碍飞行汽车在未来的普及。故选C。
35．What's the best title of the passage
A．Future Vehicles B．Future Flying Cars
C．An Answer to the Future D．Safer Travel
答案：B
解析：标题判断题。根据第一段内容和第二段中的“We are going to ... vision of the future.”并通读全文可知，文章主要以“未来的飞行汽车”为核心，探讨其技术原理与普及障碍。故选B。
第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Farms of the Future
Skyscrapers (摩天大楼) are the ultimate symbol of urban life. By 2050, almost 80 percent of the earth's population could live in cities. The human population could increase to 9.1 billion people, yet the amount of land available for farming will be the same. __36__
Vertical farms, where farmers could grow crops in environmentally friendly skyscrapers, could be the solution. In spite of concerns over high costs, experts want to make these urban farms a reality and use these skyscrapers to grow crops. __37__
Vertical farms would have many advantages, experts say. The food would be grown with minimal effects on the environment. Unlike traditional farming, vertical farming would not force animals out of their habitats by taking over large areas of land, nor would it pollute the air with the use of heavy farming equipment. __38__ These have been well recognized.
Growing prosperity has led to many people demanding that all foods be available all year round. Indoor farming could produce crops constantly and crops would not suffer from weather related problems like drought or flooding. In addition, the use of agricultural chemicals for controlling insects would be minimal.
__39__ They point out that although crops growing in a tall glass building would get natural sunlight during the day, it wouldn't be enough. The plants closest to the windows would grow much more quickly than the plants further inside. The plants growing away from the windows may not produce as many or as high quality vegetables. __40__ They would need additional light sources.
Experts agree that the new farming practices are needed to support the planet's need for more and more food at affordable costs, both to the farmer and to the consumer. Vertical farms may be a small scale answer, but the best ideas could be yet to come.
A．Still, there are some people who are critical of vertical farms.
B．That is where vertical farms are often needed for year round crops.
C．So how to meet the increasing food needs of our planet could be a big problem.
D．For these reasons, natural light cannot be a workable solution for vertical farms.
E．Vertically grown food is grown in environmentally controlled conditions in big cities.
F．Those farms would also reduce the cost and negative effects of transporting food over distances.
G．They believe that we can increase the food production by changing our thinking from out to up.
篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了未来城市里的垂直农场。
36．答案：C
解析：上文“The human population ... be the same.”说明人口增加，但耕地面积不会增加，C项(因此，如何满足我们星球日益增长的粮食需求可能是一个大问题。)承接上文。故选C。
37．答案：G
解析：上文“In spite of ... to grow crops.”说明专家希望转变思路，G项(他们相信我们可以通过把我们的思维方式从“向外”转变成“向上”来增加粮食产量。)概括上文内容。故选G。
38．答案：F
解析：上文“Unlike traditional farming ... heavy farming equipment.”说明了垂直农场的优点，F项(这些农场还可以减少长距离运输食物的成本和负面影响。)承接上文，补充说明垂直农场的优点。故选F。
39．答案：A
解析：设空处为段落主题句，下文“They point out that ... or as high quality vegetables.”说明了部分人认为垂直种植的缺点也是很明显的，A项(尽管如此，还是有一些人对垂直农场持批评态度。)概括了下文内容。故选A。
40．答案：D
解析：上文说明缺乏阳光对植物生长的影响，下文“They would need additional light sources.”说明垂直种植的植物需要额外光源。D项(出于这些原因，自然光无法成为垂直农场的可行解决方案。)承上启下。故选D。

The New Technology and Travel Revolution
Technological advances have changed the way we travel, and these new developments promise an even more __41__ and exciting experience. Do you want to know what it has __42__ for us in the not－too－distant future
Today, nobody __43__ that technology and travel are the perfect combination. This __44__ force also plays a crucial role in the way we travel. According to a Google Travel study, it is so __45__ that 74% of travelers plan their trips on the Internet, while only 13% still use travel agencies to prepare them.
The cell phone has become our tour guide, travel agency, best restaurant locator, map, and more. It's __46__ during the entire purchase journey. In fact, according to TripAdvisor, 45% of users use their smartphones for everything having to do with their vacations.
This is why there's a need to __47__ corporate services and communications to these devices. KLM, for example, has already created an information service for passengers using Facebook Messenger. This system, once someone has made a __48__， sends the user information regarding their ticket through Facebook Messenger as well as their boarding pass or updates about the __49__ of their flight. This way, the user has all the relevant information about their trip in the palm of their hand using an app that they already use, __50__ the need to download anything else.
Augmented reality (AR) or virtual reality (VR) have also entered the travel world, and the truth is that it's a trend __51__ all the possibilities they can offer. More and more companies use it to show users a cabin on a cruise ship or transport them, for a few seconds, to the Great Wall of China.
In addition, we're all familiar with Siri and Alexa, the __52__ assistants that meet all our needs: what's the weather like today in my city, turn the radio on, open my email, and more. Hotels are now starting to __53__ this “help” thanks to the arrival of virtual assistants that are __54__ designed for this environment. IBM recently __55__ Watson Assistant, an AI－powered virtual assistant that creates an interactive and personalized experience for consumers. This is the open technology that firms can employ and adapt to their needs. This way, the virtual assistant won't be called Watson but instead, have the name that the hotel chooses.

阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
It is hard to give a precise definition __56__ Western art. Perhaps the best way to understand Western art __57__ (be) to look at the development of Western painting over the centuries. During the Middle Ages, artists were not interested in __58__ (paint) realistic scenes. This began to change in the 13th century with Giotto di Bondone, whose paintings __59__ (show) real people in a real environment. Next came the Renaissance, when new ideas and values gradually replaced old __60__ (one) from the Middle Ages. Painters adopted a more humanistic attitude to life, using perspective and oil __61__ (paint). The emphasis __62__ (increasing) shifted from religious themes to people and the world around us. After the invention of photography, paintings were no longer needed to preserve __63__ people and the world looked like. As a result, Impressionism emerged in France. The name of this new movement came from __64__ painting by Claude Monet called Impression, Sunrise. In this work, Monet's aim was to convey the light and movement in the scene. Picasso, one of the painters of Modern Art, tried to analyse the shapes __65__ existed in the natural world but in a new way, with Cubism.

Scout could clearly remember the night she had to leave her home in Poland. It was the beginning of World War Ⅱ and her family had to escape as soon as possible. She quickly packed a suitcase with a few pieces of clothing, her diary, and her most prized treasure, a silk scarf. Scout and her best friend, Betty, had persuaded their parents to buy them matching scarves, which they took as a symbol of their friendship. Scout didn't know she was going to America and would not be returning.
Scout kept that special silk scarf for many years. One day she decided to give it to her granddaughter, Eliza, to wear to her first job interview for good luck. Scout was afraid that Eliza would lose the scarf, but the granddaughter promised, “Don't worry, Grandma, nothing's going to happen to your scarf. You'll see that it's going to bring both of us luck.” And with that, Eliza kissed her grandmother and left for the interview.
Leaving the interview, Eliza felt confident that she had got the job so she decided to celebrate by going to a restaurant. Sitting at her table, Eliza felt an elderly woman staring at her for a long time.
“I'm sorry. Do I know you？” Eliza asked.
“I'm sorry, dear, but you remind me of my best friend，” the old woman replied. “She looked like you and used to wear a scarf just like yours.” Eliza listened carefully, with her eyes and mouth wide open. She had heard stories of her grandmother's best friend and knew the meaning of the scarf. Could this woman be Betty, her grandmother's childhood friend
注意：
1．续写词数应为150个左右；
2．请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Then the old woman introduced herself, “My name is The old woman agreed.
写前导读：本文是一篇记叙文。Scout (思科特)和Betty (贝蒂)是好朋友，因为战争而分离，围巾是她们友谊的象征，多年后Scout的孙女Eliza (伊丽莎)戴着这条围巾时，遇到了一位老妇人，注意到这条围巾的老妇人一直盯着她看，这位老妇人会是Betty吗？多年老友再次见面会是怎样的场景呢？
[精彩范文]
Then the old woman introduced herself, “My name is Betty. I'm originally from Poland, but left there when I was thirteen. And I have been living here in Washington DC in America ever since.” Eliza could not believe it, stories of her grandmother's best friend floating in her mind. She assumed that the old woman must be her grandmother's best friend. She said, “Betty, would you mind coming with me right now I need to show you somebody.”
The old woman agreed. Soon they left the restaurant after dinner. Arriving at Scout's home, the old woman eagerly rang the doorbell. The moment Scout opened the door, she was amazed to see her childhood friend standing in front of her. How magical! The scarf indeed brought them good luck. Excited and moved, both of them were in tears. They hadn't seen each other for many years and had many things to share.

Join us for the opening of the schools of the future exhibition—event
The year is 2035. A group of schoolchildren head over to a garden for lunch and, after the break, teachers send lessons into headsets (头戴式耳机) worn by students. The wearable tech is able to read body signals to make sure the child is concentrating (全神贯注) and can differentiate the lessons according to how their young charge is getting along. It can also send a full progress assessment to the teacher.
This is one picture of the future of school life, but how likely is it Over the past five months, the Guardian Teacher Network has been exploring how schools might develop over the next twenty years and beyond. Our journalists have explored a series of topics from whether computers could replace teachers and how some libraries are breaking with tradition, to the rise of outdoor learning and the forest school revolution. One area that provides much food for thought is the future of school dinners. Journalist Matthew Jenkin has looked back at Jamie Oliver's campaign against Turkey Twizzlers, deciding that the next hot topics include mealtimes and foods.
We’re now bringing these ideas to life in an exciting exhibition, supported by Zurich Municipal, held at our offices in London. It is free to attend. We’ll be hearing from Liz Sproat, the head of education for Google across Europe, Middle East and Africa.
We’d love for you to join us for a spot of future drinks and food.
Date: Sunday 17 June
Time: 6：30 pm to 8：30 pm
Location: The Guardian, 90 York Way, London, N1 9GU
Cost: Free
Speakers: Charles Leadbeater, author and education advisor

Here on the island of Demesne, the humans call us “clones”. I call myself Elysia, because that's what Dr Lusardi told me to call myself. I started to exist just weeks ago. But I am a sixteen－year－old girl with no soul. I know nothing of my First, the girl I was cloned from.
We entered a private room, just me, the fancy lady Mrs Bratton, and Marisa.
The fancy lady pushes me with one of her fingers as one might poke a piece of fruit at the market. She gently pokes my flesh. She presses her hands against my back to test its firmness.
“She's attractive，” she says.
Marisa warns her, “Mrs Bratton, she is a Beta (a new product being tested by users). Dr Lusardi has not perfected the teen line yet.”
“I guess that will be reflected in the price，” says Mrs Bratton.
“Of course，” Marisa says. “Dr Lusardi will be thrilled to know someone is willing to take a chance on a teen Beta.”
Mrs Bratton looks at me, “What's your name, dear？”
“Elysia，” I say.
“I think you might make a wonderful addition to our household, Elysia. We're so badly missing a teenage girl ever since Astrid, my eldest, went off to Biome University，” she says sadly.
“Congratulations，” I say, because I know that's the appropriate thing to say to a parent whose child has studied in a well known university. “You must be very proud.”
Mrs Bratton's face brightens. “I am! But Astrid's so hard－working that she seldom comes back to visit us. We miss her a lot. Would you like to come to my family？”
“Yes, ma'am，” I say.
Marisa sends me back into the store when she finishes the negotiations with Mrs Bratton. I am to pick out some nice clothing to take to my new home, where I shall serve my new owner.
篇章导读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章节选自一个科幻故事的片段：一位母亲打算从商店购买一位克隆少女。

Someday, you may no longer need to brush your teeth by hand. Instead, a group of billions of nanoparticles (纳米粒子) could automatically do all that work for you. It would be especially life changing for people who find it difficult or impossible to hold and move a toothbrush.
Steager, an engineer at the University of Pennsylvania (Penn) in Philadelphia and Hyun Koo, an inventor and dental researcher there, found a way to form the nanoparticles into long, skinny bristles (刷毛), a lot like the ones on a toothbrush. But these bristles shape shift to fit whatever surface they encounter.
The tooth cleaning robot works thanks to two magnets. One goes each side of the teeth. The nanoparticles sit in a liquid between the magnets. When the magnets are turned off, the nanoparticles move randomly in the liquid. As soon as one magnet gets turned on, the nanoparticles gather together near its center. When the researchers turn on the other magnet and turn off the first one, the nanoparticles extend outward in long, skinny bristles. When there's a tooth in the way, these bristles can't stretch out as far as they want. So they push against the tooth's surface. If there's a gap between teeth, they push into the gap. Moving the magnets makes the bristles move against and between teeth. All that motion cleans the teeth. As a bonus, the nanoparticles also have strong power to kill viruses.
The new device is just a proof of concept. The researchers still need to turn it into a product that people will want to use. “There's a lot of engineering to get from here to there, but every good idea needs to have a start，” says Steager.
篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一款纳米材料制成的可变形机器人洁牙器。
28．What is special about the tooth cleaner
A．It's water proof.
B．It's transformable.
C．It looks like a toothbrush.
D．It contains skinny bristles.
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中的“But these bristles shape－shift to fit whatever surface they encounter.”可知，这个洁牙产品能根据口腔内接触的表面变形。故选B。
29．What is Paragraph 3 mainly about
A．The working principle. B．The magnets' motion.
C．The virus killing process. D．The bristles' formation.
解析：段落大意题。根据第三段内容，尤其是其中的“The tooth－cleaning robot ... each side of the teeth. (这款清洁牙齿的机器人依靠两块磁铁工作。牙齿两边各有一个。)”可知，第三段主要讲述了这款清洁牙齿的机器人的工作原理。故选A。
30．How does Steager feel about the future of the device
A．Uncertain. B．Confident.
C．Concerned. D．Surprised.
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段内容可知，Steager(斯特亚赫尔)认为这个清洁牙齿的设备从概念转化为产品仍需大量工程研发，但是不失为一个好的想法。由此可推知，Steager对这款产品很自信。故选B。
31．Which of the following would be the best title
A．A Tooth Cleaner Fighting Bacteria
B．A Breakthrough in Medicine

D
The idea of having a car, a plane, or a drone (无人驾驶飞机) parked outside your home may not be as unlikely as it seems.
We are going to have personal air vehicles that are both cars and planes. At least that's Missy Cummings's vision of the future. It's basically the intersection of a drone with a robotic car, so your plane is also your car, but the quick development of technology is that you are actually driving neither.
Drones have a negative image in the media, says Cummings, because they are basically seen as spy cameras. But most people don't realize that when they are on a plane they are effectively travelling on a drone. The fly by wire technology that exists on all Airbuses and many crafts of Boeing is exactly the same technology that exists on drones.
The reason why drones are the answer to the future is that we are terrible drivers. Humans have a half second lag (滞后) in almost any quick response that they need to have. Even a half second delay can mean the difference between life and death, and computers and automated (自动化的) systems don't have that．
So, our transportation network of the future, both on the ground and in the air, will actually be safer when we turn it over to computers.
There really aren't any technological difficulties to this idea. The biggest difficulties we have in terms of giving up the car are psychological and cultural, but no new technology needs to be developed to have your own personal flying car. What we have to do is to improve production and reduce manufacturing costs.
People should be excited about this: it promises much in terms of safer travel, and people in parts of the world where the road and air networks are poor will be able to get the goods and services.
篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了未来飞行汽车的外观、技术、安全性以及便利性。
32．What is the meaning of the underlined word “intersection” in Paragraph 2
A．Cross. B．Section.
C．Communication. D．Structure.
解析：词义猜测题。根据画线词上文“We are going to have personal air vehicles that are both cars and planes. (我们将会有私人空中交通工具，它既是汽车也是飞机。)”和下文“so your plane is also your car”可推知，画线词所在句句意为：它基本上是无人机和自动驾驶汽车的结合体。intersection意为“交叉”，与cross意思相近。故选A。
33．What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 4 refer to
A．The truth. B．The difference.
C．The quick response. D．A half second delay.
解析：指代判断题。根据第四段中的“Humans have a half second ... systems don't have that. (人类几乎在任何他们需要快速反应时都有半秒的延迟。即使是半秒的延迟也可能意味着生与死的差别，而计算机和自动化系统没有这一点。)”可知，“that”指代上文中提到的“a half second delay (半秒的滞后)”。故选D。
34．What will most probably prevent the popularity of flying cars in the future
A．Their being expensive.
B．Lacking advanced technology.
C．People's not accepting the idea.
D．People's failing to improve production.
解析：推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“The biggest difficulties we have in terms of giving up the car are psychological and cultural (在放弃汽车方面，我们面临的最大困难是来自心理和文化上的)”可推知，如果人们不接受这个想法，很可能会阻碍飞行汽车在未来的普及。故选C。
35．What's the best title of the passage
A．Future Vehicles B．Future Flying Cars
C．An Answer to the Future D．Safer Travel
解析：标题判断题。根据第一段内容和第二段中的“We are going to ... vision of the future.”并通读全文可知，文章主要以“未来的飞行汽车”为核心，探讨其技术原理与普及障碍。故选B。

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Farms of the Future
Skyscrapers (摩天大楼) are the ultimate symbol of urban life. By 2050, almost 80 percent of the earth's population could live in cities. The human population could increase to 9.1 billion people, yet the amount of land available for farming will be the same. __36__
Vertical farms, where farmers could grow crops in environmentally friendly skyscrapers, could be the solution. In spite of concerns over high costs, experts want to make these urban farms a reality and use these skyscrapers to grow crops. __37__
Vertical farms would have many advantages, experts say. The food would be grown with minimal effects on the environment. Unlike traditional farming, vertical farming would not force animals out of their habitats by taking over large areas of land, nor would it pollute the air with the use of heavy farming equipment. __38__ These have been well recognized.
Growing prosperity has led to many people demanding that all foods be available all year round. Indoor farming could produce crops constantly and crops would not suffer from weather related problems like drought or flooding. In addition, the use of agricultural chemicals for controlling insects would be minimal.
__39__ They point out that although crops growing in a tall glass building would get natural sunlight during the day, it wouldn't be enough. The plants closest to the windows would grow much more quickly than the plants further inside. The plants growing away from the windows may not produce as many or as high quality vegetables. __40__ They would need additional light sources.
Experts agree that the new farming practices are needed to support the planet's need for more and more food at affordable costs, both to the farmer and to the consumer. Vertical farms may be a small scale answer, but the best ideas could be yet to come.
A．Still, there are some people who are critical of vertical farms.
B．That is where vertical farms are often needed for year round crops.
C．So how to meet the increasing food needs of our planet could be a big problem.
D．For these reasons, natural light cannot be a workable solution for vertical farms.
E．Vertically grown food is grown in environmentally controlled conditions in big cities.
F．Those farms would also reduce the cost and negative effects of transporting food over distances.
G．They believe that we can increase the food production by changing our thinking from out to up.

It is hard to give a precise definition __56__ Western art. Perhaps the best way to understand Western art __57__ (be) to look at the development of Western painting over the centuries. During the Middle Ages, artists were not interested in __58__ (paint) realistic scenes. This began to change in the 13th century with Giotto di Bondone, whose paintings __59__ (show) real people in a real environment. Next came the Renaissance, when new ideas and values gradually replaced old __60__ (one) from the Middle Ages.
Painters adopted a more humanistic attitude to life, using perspective and oil __61__ (paint). The emphasis __62__ (increasing) shifted from religious themes to people and the world around us. After the invention of photography, paintings were no longer needed to preserve __63__ people and the world looked like. As a result, Impressionism emerged in France. The name of this new movement came from __64__ painting by Claude Monet called Impression, Sunrise. In this work, Monet's aim was to convey the light and movement in the scene. Picasso, one of the painters of Modern Art, tried to analyse the shapes __65__ existed in the natural world but in a new way, with Cubism.

第二节(满分25分)
阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Scout could clearly remember the night she had to leave her home in Poland. It was the beginning of World War Ⅱ and her family had to escape as soon as possible. She quickly packed a suitcase with a few pieces of clothing, her diary, and her most prized treasure, a silk scarf. Scout and her best friend, Betty, had persuaded their parents to buy them matching scarves, which they took as a symbol of their friendship. Scout didn't know she was going to America and would not be returning.
Scout kept that special silk scarf for many years. One day she decided to give it to her granddaughter, Eliza, to wear to her first job interview for good luck. Scout was afraid that Eliza would lose the scarf, but the granddaughter promised, “Don't worry, Grandma, nothing's going to happen to your scarf. You'll see that it's going to bring both of us luck.” And with that, Eliza kissed her grandmother and left for the interview.
Leaving the interview, Eliza felt confident that she had got the job so she decided to celebrate by going to a restaurant. Sitting at her table, Eliza felt an elderly woman staring at her for a long time.
“I'm sorry. Do I know you？” Eliza asked.
“I’m sorry, dear, but you remind me of my best friend，” the old woman replied. “She looked like you and used to wear a scarf just like yours.” Eliza listened carefully, with her eyes and mouth wide open. She had heard stories of her grandmother’s best friend and knew the meaning of the scarf. Could this woman be Betty, her grandmother’s childhood friend
注意：
1．续写词数应为150个左右；
2．请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Then the old woman introduced herself, “My name is﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍
The old woman agreed.﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍
写前导读：本文是一篇记叙文。Scout (思科特)和Betty (贝蒂)是好朋友，因为战争而分离，围巾是她们友谊的象征，多年后Scout的孙女Eliza (伊丽莎)戴着这条围巾时，遇到了一位老妇人，注意到这条围巾的老妇人一直盯着她看，这位老妇人会是Betty吗？多年老友再次见面会是怎样的场景呢？
[精彩范文]
Then the old woman introduced herself, “My name is Betty. I'm originally from Poland, but left there when I was thirteen. And I have been living here in Washington DC in America ever since.” Eliza could not believe it, stories of her grandmother's best friend floating in her mind. She assumed that the old woman must be her grandmother's best friend. She said, “Betty, would you mind coming with me right now I need to show you somebody.”
The old woman agreed. Soon they left the restaurant after dinner. Arriving at Scout's home, the old woman eagerly rang the doorbell. The moment Scout opened the door, she was amazed to see her childhood friend standing in front of her. How magical! The scarf indeed brought them good luck. Excited and moved, both of them were in tears. They hadn't seen each other for many years and had many things to share.
