With tears welling up in my eyes, I rushed out of the house and ran along the street.A young father who held a child in his arms walked past me. I felt as if I saw my childhood from another space: happy and harmonious. But now I dont know whether it is because I have grown up or because Dad is getting old. It feels like there is an invisible door between us that can never be opened.I wandered in the streets, without a destination in mind. My heart was frozen on this hot summer night. As I walked on there were fewer and fewer people on the streets, until I had only the streets to keep me pany (陪伴) . When I finally reached the high-rise apartment block in which I lived, I saw that the light was still on.I thought to myself, “ Is father waiting for me, or is he still angry with me?”Dad was always like this. Maybe he didnt know how to express himself. After shouting at me, he never showed any mercy or regret. After an argument, he will creep(蹑手蹑脚）up in my sleep room and then tuck（盖住）me underneath the covers.This was how he always be. He has been a leader for so long that telling everyone else what to do has bee his second nature.The light was still on. With the key in hand, I was as nervous as I had ever been.

Or could we create a physical store where customers could simply take what they want and go? Our answer to those questions is Amazon Go, where you could experience the idea of “just walk out shopping”.Amazon Go is a new kind of store with no checkout required. We created the worlds most advanced shopping technology, so you never have to wait in line. With our “just walk out shopping” experience，simply use the Amazon Go app to enter the stores take the products you want, and go! No lines, no checkout.Our checkout-free shopping experience is made possible by the same types of technologies used in self-driving cars：puter vision，sensor fusion，and deep learning. Our “just walk out technology” automatically detects when products are taken from or returned to the shelves and keeps track of them in your virtual cart. When youve done shopping，you can just leave the store. Shortly after，well charge your Amazon account and send you a receipt.We offer delicious ready-to-eat breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snack options made fresh every day by our on-site chefs and favorite local kitchens and bakeries. Our selection of foodstuff ranges from bread and milk to cheeses and locally made chocolates. Youll find well-known brands we love, plus special finds were excited to introduce to customers. For a quick home-cooked dinner, pick up one of our chef-designed Amazon Meal Kits, and you can make a meal for two in about 30 minutes.Our 1,800-square-foot shopping space is conveniently pact (紧凑的), so busy customers can get in and out fast. It is located at 2131，7th Ave，Seattle，WA，on the corner of 7th Avenue and Blanchard Street. All you need is an Amazon account, a supported smartphone, and the free Amazon Go app.Amazon Go is currently only open to Amazon employees in our testing program, and will be open to the public soon.28. From the passage，we can learn that Amazon Go_.A. is a checkout-free storeB. sells all kinds of goodsC. is open to the publicD. uses unknown technologies29. What is mainly discussed in Paragraph 3?A. When Amazon Go charges.B. How Amazon Go works.C. Where Amazon Go lies.D. What Amazon Go sells.30. Customers pay for the products from Amazon Go by_.A. paying cash at the counterB. walking out of the storeC. using their Amazon accountsD. scanning smartphones when leaving31. The main purpose of the passage is to_.A. encourage people to shop onlineB. advise people to work for AmazonC. inform people of a new concept storeD. tell people of the shopping experienceDSuppose we built a robot to explore the planet Mars. We provide the robot with seeing detectors to keep it away from danger. It is powered entirely by the sun. Should we program the robot to be equally active at all times? No. The robot would be using up energy at a time when it was not receiving any. So we would probably program it to stop its activity at night and to wake up at dawn the next morning.According to the evolutionary ( 进化的) theory of sleep, evolution equipped us with a regular pattern of sleeping and waking for the same reason. The theory does not deny that sleep provides some important restorative (恢复的) functions. It merely says that evolution has programmed us to perform those functions at a time when activity would be inefficient and possibly dangerous. However, sleep protects us only from the sort of trouble we might walk into; it does not protect us from trouble that es looking for us. So we sleep well when we are in a familiar, safe place, but we sleep lightly, if at all, when we fear that bears will nose into the tent.The evolutionary theory explains the differences in sleep among creatures. Why do cats, for instance, sleep so much, while horses sleep so little? Surely cats do not need five times as much repair and restoration as horses do. But cats can afford to have long periods of inactivity because they spend little time eating and are unlikely to be attacked while they sleep. Horses must spend almost all their waking hours eating, because what they eat is very low in energy value. Moreover, they cannot afford to sleep too long or too deeply, because their survival depends on their ability to run away from attackers.32. The author uses the example of the robot in space exploration to tell us _.A. the differences between robots and menB. the reason why men need to sleepC. about the need for robots to save powerD. about the danger of men working at night33. Evolution has programmed man to sleep at night chiefly to help him _.A. keep up a regular pattern of lifeB. prevent trouble that es looking for himC. avoid danger and inefficient labourD. restore his bodily functions34. Cats sleep much more than horses do partly because cats _.A. need more time for restorationB. are unlikely to be attackersC. are more active than horses when they are awakeD. spend less time eating to get enough energy35. Which of the following is the main idea of the passage?A. Evolution has equipped all creatures with a regular pattern of sleeping and waking.B. The study of sleep is an important part the evolutionary theory.C. Sleeping patterns must be taken into consideration in the designing of robots.D. The sleeping pattern of a living creature is determined by the food it eats.第一节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。Imagine being asked to spend twelve or so years of your life in a society that consisted only of members of your own sex，how would you react? 36 But the fact is that segregated(隔离)schools shoot up very rapidly around the world，and so many parents choose to force such abnormal conditions on their children-conditions which they themselves wouldnt put up with for one minute! 37 Those advocates of segregated schools argue that children from segregated schools have greater achievements academically, socially in athletic and have greater self-confidenceFurther，there are many more practical advantages in segregated schools：adolescent problems can be dealt with better and more easily. 38 It is a wonderful proof of their worthOn the other sidethose advocates of co-education point out that any discussion of this topic is bound to question the aims of educationOne of the chief aims of education is equip future citizens with all they require to take their places in adult society which is made up of men and womenWhen segregated，boys and girls are made to feel that they are a race apartpetition between the sexes is developed39 Children from segregated schools sometimes lack healthy attitude to life that co-education encouragesTo sum up，every coin has double sides40 It is about time somebody exploded（驳倒） that theory about segregated schools being the better place for your childrenAYou would react as if you were a puzzled parent BLastly in many countries, the most famous schools are segregatedCAnyone entering adult society after years of segregation can only be in for a shockDUnless there was something wrong with you, you wouldnt be too happy about itEWhen segregated, boys and girls can focus on their studyFHowever, I believe its far more beneficial for boys and girls to learn and play together GMany sociologists and educationalists present their views on this issue from both sides第二节完形填空 (共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。Stephen Hawking dies at 76 May 14th, the day coinciding with the birthday of another legend of science, Albert Einstein.His _41_ are in a state of deep shock and have twinged（感到阵痛）that the death of the greatest scientist is _42_ for they believed the man to be immortal（不死的）.
