But the days of having to quickly close your sunroof could soon be a thing of the past thanks to Jaguar Land Rovers latest technology. The firm is developing cars that can adapt automatically by closing windows and roofs or starting the heater if they detect bad weather is on the way. The weather forecasting system uses a set of air pressure, humidity (湿度）and light sensors (传感器）to help its vehicles predict changes in conditions and adapt to them. Cars equipped with the system could make slight changes to the air conditioning if it finds the weather is getting warmer during a journey or increase the cabin temperature if it will get colder. The forecast may indicate there is a possibility of one or more weather conditions, such as rain, within a period of time, such as five minutes. The vehicle may then adapt to the local weather conditions. In particular, it may close one or more windows, or close a roof of the vehicle in response to a forecast of rain. Similarly, windows could be darkened using electrochromic (电致变色的）glass to improve visibility if bright sunshine is forecasted. Although it is unclear whether this technology will make its way to a production vehicle soon, such a system would be advantageous on autonomous vehicles. Since there is no human driver present, the system will allow the vehicle to make it fortable for its passengers, based on current weather conditions. It can also make the vehicle safer if it knows rain or snow is ing.24. How will Jaguar Land Rovers latest technology benefit drivers?A. Vehicles can automatically drive themselves.B. Vehicles can find positions and routes themselves.C. Vehicles can act as mobile weather forecasting stations.D. Vehicles can open windows and sunroofs automatically25. What is the feature of the glass of a vehicle with the new technology?A. It can help adjust the temperature. B. It can still be clear in rainy days.C. It is too strong to break into pieces.D. Its color can change with the sunshine. 26. What can we know about the weather forecasting system from the text?A. It is intelligent enough to stop raining.B. It makes the driver more fortable.C. It cant predict the weather accurately.D. It makes autonomous cars safer in bad weather.27. Where might the text be taken from? A. A book review. B. A science report.B. A science fiction. D. A travel brochure. CAsking for salary history provides an easy way to sort applicants into an employers desired price range and helps the employer calculate the lowest offer that will still attract a candidate. But an increasing number of U.S. states and cities agree there ought to be a law against it. Massachusetts, Philadelphia, New York City and Puerto Rico have banned salary history questions on applications and in interviews.Why? Because when it es to a candidates suitability for a job, salary history is a subjective and often misleading indicator and it may most affect “the people who have already been illegally treated,” says Katie Donovan, a salary negotiation coach and one of the authors of the Massachusetts law.Candidates who start their careers underpaid because of the gender or race wage gap, a bad economy or a cheap boss finds that this lowball (虚报低价) figure continues to weigh them down throughout their career. At the same time, senior victims of layoffs have difficulty being hired because employers assume theyre not interested in senior victims.In an interview, you can avoid talking about salary history questions by turning the discussion to what youre looking to make.Donovan remends a method similar to what youre already doing: Enter $0.00, or some other number that is clearly intended not to cheat, but to oppose.Of course, theres always a risk doing so because it will cost you opportunities. But Ronda Wakefield, owner of NW MT HR Solutions, says that when she receives an application with an obviously false salary history, shell still follow up if the candidate interests her. “I personally dont want to miss out on a great candidate because they didnt want to answer the question directly,” she says. 28. Why are many U.S. states and cities against asking for applicants salary history?A. Because their salary history is not an objective or correct indicator.B. Because employees who have their careers underpaid have difficulty being hired.C. Because candidates start their careers underpaid because of the gender or race wage gap.D. Because they didnt think of it as the only standard to judge a person.29. What does the underlined word “layoffs” in Paragraph 3 mean?A. The people dismissed.B. The action of dismissing others.C. The state of being dismissed.D. The bosses dismissing others.30. Why does Donovan suggest applicants write down $0.00 in the blank for their salary history?A. To cheat the boss.B. To fight against the question.C. To annoy the boss. D. To answer the question indirectly31. Who likes to know about applicants salary history most according to the passage?A. Any employer.B. Donovan.C. Wakefield.D. A mean employer.DAs PhD research goes, Brian Wisenden might be envied: watching baby fish swimming swiftly through the clear waters in the Costa Rican tropical dry forest. By recording their growth and numbers, he hoped to look at their risks of being eaten. Instead, he witnessed something strange. Many groups were increasing in numbers. In these groups, some were smaller than others, suggesting they werent siblings. Wisenden had accidentally discovered that the fish, called convict cichlids, adopt each others babies. Why would they do that, he wondered?In the human world, we think of adoption as a selfless act. But in nature, its presence is puzzling. Taking on the burden of bringing up babies with no genetic link would seem to reduce an animals chance of survival or at least provide no gain. Yet, adoption is surprisingly mon in the natural world.Take the eastern grey kangaroo. Between xx and xx, Wisenden followed the fates of 326 baby kangaroos in the Wilsons Promontory National Park in Victoria and recorded 11 cases of pouch (育儿袋) swapping. The circumstances behind some of these adoptions arent known, but four were straight swaps and another four occurred after a mother had lost her own baby. How e? Before independence, baby kangaroos go through a period inside and outside their mothers pouch. Following out-of-pouch attempts, mothers normally sniff their young before allowing them back in, but Wisendens team suspect that during an emergency they may omit the sniff test, allowing a weak baby to quickly climb in before fleeing from danger.Some of natures adoptions are, actually, driven by young. In burrower bugs (土蝽), for example, females lay a nest of eggs close to those of unrelated bugs. Mother bugs tend their developing eggs before they hatch, and then feed babies nuts from weedy mint plants. Finding nuts is a petitive business, so not every mother bug gets her fair share. And if the delivery rate isnt up to standard, clever young may abandon their mothers to join a better-fed group.The consequences of adoption following mistaken identity can be horrible. The true babies of adopting mothers were abandoned. But it can have remarkable benefits, not just for adoptees but also for adoptive parents.32. What can we learn about Wisendens research about baby fish?A. It was beyond his expectations.B. It put many rare species at risk.C. It showed a genetic similarity in fish.D. It found a new way to protect forests.33. What does the underlined word “omit” mean in the passage?A. confirm. B. repeat.C. adopt. D. skip.34. Why would some burrower hugs abandon their mothers?A. To live in warmer nests. B. To reproduce.C. To seek for better parenting. D. To adapt to petition earlier.35. What may the author most probably talk about next?A. The causes of accidental adoption. B. The processes of accidental adoption.C. The drawbacks of accidental adoption. D. The advantages of accidental adoption.第二节 (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。With advances in transportation and information technology, even the most remote places on Earth are within reach of the traveler. In fact, tourism is now the worlds largest industry, and especially nature tourism grows the fastest. 36 In response to this increasing affection for nature experiences, a new form of travel has arisen called ecotourism. 37 The Nature Conservancy(自然保护协会) adopts the concept explained by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN): It is an environmentally responsible travel to natural areas which has a low visitor influence and provides beneficial and active involvement in natural conservation for local people.Increasing tourism to sensitive natural areas without appropriate planning and management can threaten (威胁) the whole ecosystems and local cultures. 38 Similarly, local munities can be harmed in numerous ways by crowded foreign visitors and wealth. 39 Ecotourism can provide much-needed reveriues (收益) for the protecting of national parks and other natural areas, which might not be available from other sources.Additionally, ecotourism can provide a practical economic development alternative for local munities with few other ine-generating options. Besides, ecotourism can increase the level of education and activism (积极) among travelers. 40 A. What is ecotourism?B. The growth of the ecotourism ine is also beneficial to the local people.C. And it makes them more enthusiastic and effective spokesmen for nature conservation.D. But most of the tourism in natural areas nowadays is not ecotourism at all.E. However, this same growth does good to both conservation and local munities.F. People want to experience nature, but should try not to affect the natural environment.G. The increase of visitors to ecologically sensitive areas can lead to much environmental damage.第三部分 英语知识运用(共两节，满分45分)第一节 完形填空(共20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和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。I e from one of those families where you have to yell at the dinner table to get in a word. Everyone has a strong 41 and talks at the same time, and no one has a 42 leading to heated arguments. We often talk or even debate with each other on different topics. 43 a family like mine has made me more 44 about the world around me, making me tend toquestionanything anyone tells me. But it has also made me realize that Im not a good listener. And when I say “listening”, Im not 45 to the nodding-your-head-and- 46 -answering-Uh-huh-or-Ooh-I-see variety. I mean the kind of listening where you find yourself deeply 47 with the person youre speaking with, when his story bees so 48 that your world bees less about you and more about him. No, I was never very good at that.I spent summer in South Africa two years ago. I worked for a good non-profit 41 called Noah, which works 50 on behalf of children affected by AIDS. But 51 you asked me what I really did in South Africa, Id tell you one thing: I listened, and I listened. Sometimes I 52 , but mostly I listened.And had I not spent two months 53 , I might have missed the 54 moment when a quiet little girl at one of Noahs munity centers, orphaned（孤儿）at the age of three, whispered after a long 55 , “I love you.” 56 that summer, I had thought I knew how to hear. I would sit down with anyone and hear their 57 and nod and respond at the 58 timebut most of the time I was 59 about the next words out of my own month. Ever since my summer in South Africa, I have noticed that its in those moments when my mouth is closed and my 60 is wide open that Ive really learned the most about other people, and perhaps about myself.41.
