Cold weather during winter months may keep many people from 1 home and running in the open air. 2 , a new study shows 3 the drop in temperature is a good reason to run. In fact, researchers say, running in cold weather 4 improve one’s performance（身体机能）. Many people say running in winter is difficult. Two reasons are the low temperatures and bitter winds. Yet many runners might find 5 easier than running in hot weather. That could be because lower temperatures reduce stress on the body. When you run in cold weather, your heart rate is 6__ than in warmer conditions. Besides, the body needs less water 7 a cold day than in warm weather. This information comes from John Brewer, a sports scientist at St. Mary’s University in London. Brewer says every movement runners make produces heat. He explains that one way in which we lose heat 8 by sweating , and that the body also loses heat by transporting the blood to the surface of the skin. But sweating puts much strain（张力）on the heart, particularly in hot conditions because it is 9 harder to lose heat when the external environment is warm 10 .In addition, running in higher temperatures results in faster heart rates. Scientists found, 11 , that heart rates were about 6 percent higher in the hotter conditions. However, running in cooler temperatures has 12 advantages. One is that the body does not have to work so hard to pump blood to the 13 surface in cooler temperatures, which means running requires less energy. Several websites note that the most important thing for people 14 run in cold conditions is to wear the right clothing. And especially, keeping as dry as possible is very important 15 exercising in low temperatures.

The online marketer Amazon is opening a new kind of store. It is one where people do not have to wait in long lines to buy a product. Instead, the buyers use their smartphones to pay.
The new store is in the American city of Seattle, Washington. It is called Amazon Go. It sells products that are normally（通常地）found in a grocery store (杂货店). What you will not find, however, are long lines and cashiers exchanging money.
Customers must have a smartphone, an Amazon account, and a program on their smartphones: the Amazon Go app. The app makes a list of everything that customers plan to buy from the store. After customers have finished shopping, they can simply leave.
The company has been working on creating the store for four years. Amazon says that because its new store does not require as many employees（员工）, the prices of goods will remain low.
Amazon Go became a hot topic this week on social media. One person called Mike published（发布）a photograph on Twitter, showing himself waiting in a very long line at a grocery store. He wrote,“I cannot wait for Amazon Go. Longest queue（队伍）in history.”
But, it may be some time before Amazon Go stores open up in other areas. Even the Seattle store is still only open to Amazon employees. The company plans to open that store to the public in early 2017.
( )29. What does this passage mainly talk about ?

Anyone who has had a long-term illness knows that recovering at home can be lonely. This is can be especially true of children. They may feel isolated（孤立的）from their friends and classmates. Now, a small robot may help children who are recovering from a long-term illness in the hospital or at home. The robot takes their place at school. Through the robot, the children can hear their teachers and friends. They can also take part in classroom activities from wherever they are recovering – whether at home or from a hospital bed.
The robot is called AV1.It is created by a company called “No Isolation”. AV1 goes to school for a child who is at home while recovering from a long-term illness. And the child’s school friends must help. They carry the robot between classes and place the robot on the child’s desk.
Dolva, one co-funder （创始人）of No Isolation.explains how the robot AV1 works. She says,“the robot sits at the child's desk in the classroom and the child at home uses a tablet（平板电脑）or a phone to start it, control its movement with touch, and talk through it. So the robot becomes the eyes, the ears and the voice of the child at school.” The robot is equipped with speakers, microphones and cameras that make communicating easy. Moreover，The AVI was designed to be tough. It is water-resistant(防水) and can take a fall from a desk without damage. Inside AV1 is a small computer connected to a 4G network. AV1 is large and looks like a human for a reason. Dolva thinks this is important because the robot is expected to be a friend to the children.
The robot just became available to the public. Hopefully AV1 will help some children feel less lonely while they are absent from class.(301 words)

B. They can see their teachers and friends at any time
C. They can do classroom activities at home or at a hospital bed
D. They can ask the robot to do homework for them
( )35. What does “it” in “the robot sits at... a phone to start it”mean?.
A. the teacher B. the tablet C. the robot D. the phone
( )36. Which one is the best title for this passage?.
Robot helps sick children feel less lonely B. Recovering from a long-term illness

作文：
It’s very common for students to cheat in the exams. In 2016, our country passed a law that fights against this kind of law-broken behavior. It is reported that some students carry some important information or notes into the exam-room. Some students copy other’s answers. What’s more, others use electronic products, such as mobile phones, micro-earphones to pass on the answers.
There are many reasons for students to cheat in the exam. Firstly, some students are too lazy to work hard most of the time. Secondly, they want to get good grades in order to enter a good high school or a good university. Lastly, some students have too much pressure from their parents and teachers. They only want to make them happy.
In my opinion, it is dishonest of the students to cheat in the exams, this may lead them to a wrong road in the future and it is unfair for other students. In order to create a fair competing environment, we should say No to the exam-cheating.
