However, the weather is also one of the most unpredictable elements in the world. Although many people watch the morning news and gather the information about the weather, this is often wrong. Whole days can be ruined by believing that the weather will be one thing, when it turns out to be another. However, owning wireless weather stations allows the owners to monitor the weather for themselves.Not only will these weather stations allow the owners to see what the weather is doing, but it is personalized to them and their area. Wireless weather stations are specifically prepared for the immediate neighborhood. Plans will be able to be made, and important decisions will no longer be ruined by bad weather.Although these weather stations are typically seen in homes, they can also be used very easily on farms and fishing boats. Both farmers and fishermen rely on the weather for their business and using up-to-date weather information is quite indispensable. By using the wireless weather stations, it can determine for them when to harvest crops and head back to the shore. Due to the size of the weather stations, they can be moved very easily and used wherever is necessary for people.The wireless weather stations are great for all homes, especially for areas that suffer from extreme weather conditions.The up-to-date, instant weather reports will allow a person to monitor what the weather is doing and if the bad weather is heading in their direction. Extreme weather tends to come very quickly; therefore, any information that is received is helpful. The weather stations are very simple to set up and are run by solar panels（太阳能电池板）, ensuring they will work even if there is a power-cut. They are far smaller than those in previous years and give a couple of very simple read-outs for the owner. They are easy to use and fascinating to understand.39. From Paragraph 2, the author intends to _. A. show us how unpredictable the weather used to be B. explain the value of having wireless weather stations C. make it clear how popular the morning news is D. show how people got weather information in the past 40.

The robots carry meals, groceries and packages to homes and offices in this region just north of Seattle. They have appeared on the sidewalks of London, Beijing and other cities and communities worldwide. These machines must overcome pedestrian legs, naughty dogs and broken pavement, which raises some questions. These services are gaining attraction as a growing number of city residents expect immediate or scheduled delivery for just about everything. Between 2017 and 2018 online retail sales in the U.S. increased by 16 percent. On the final step of all these deliveries, called the last mile, humans on bicycles, motorized scooters （电动车） or large delivery trucks typically deliver packages. All the vehicles compete for space on busy urban streets. “Deliveries are trending upwards in all crowded city centers, and if city and state leaders dont start thinking about creative solutions like robot deliveries, we can expect even worse traffic jams,” says Paul Mackie, director of a transportation policy research center in Arlington. A study by this center found 73 percent of delivery vehicles in Arlington were parked outside of authorized areas, often blocking bike lanes and crosswalks. By moving the last step of deliveries from the road to the sidewalk, cities could reduce traffic jams and solve the parking problem entirely, Mackie says. Companies such as Amazon are not developing this delivery technology simply to clear up urban traffic. Self-driving vehicles and sidewalk robots could cut down last-mile delivery costs in cities by as much as 40 percent, according to a 2018 report by a consultancy firm. A delivery robot can cost thousands of dollars to manufacture, and most currently require human management and conservation. But in the long run companies that use autonomous delivery vehicles in the next several years could end up saving billions of dollars, the report stated. 43. Why does Amazon introduce delivery robots?_ A. To amuse its customers. B. To avoid pedestrians, dogs and broken pavement. C. To meet the increasing demand of delivering packages. D. To confirm the companys innovation spirit. 44. What does Paul Mackie mean by his words in paragraph 2?_ A. Retail sales in the U.S. increased fast. B. Deliveries stay steady in all crowded city centers. C. Regardless of robot deliveries, traffic jams will remain the same. D. Robot can help ease the traffic pressure. 45. What can robots delivery bring to the city?_ A. Block bike lanes and crosswalks. B. Relieve urban traffic as well as save delivery costs. C. Increase danger to pedestrians. D. Lead to traffic jams. 46. Which word can best describe the future of the robot delivery?_ A. Uncertain. B. Hopeless. C. Promising. D. Unacceptable.D Give yourself a test. Which way is the wind blowing? How many kinds of wildflowers can be seen from your front door? If your awareness is as sharp as it could be, youll have no trouble answering these questions.Most of us observed much more as children than we do as adults. A childs day is filled with fascination, newness and wonder. Curiosity gave us all a natural awareness. But distinctions that were sharp to us as children become unclear; we are numb(麻木的）to new stimulation(刺激), new ideas. Relearning the art of seeing the world around us is quite simple, although it takes practice and requires breaking some bad habits.The first step in awakening senses is to stop predicting what we are going to see and feel before it occurs. This blocks awareness. One chilly night when I was hiking in the Rocky Mountains with some students, I mentioned that we were going to cross a mountain stream. The students began complaining about how cold it would be. We reached the stream, and they unwillingly walked ahead. They were almost knee-deep when they realized it was a hot spring. Later they all admitted theyd felt cold water at first.Another block to awareness is the obsession(痴迷) many of us have with naming things. I saw bird watchers who spotted a bird, immediately looked it up in field guides, and said, a “ruby-crowned kinglet” and checked it off. They no longer paid attention to the bird and never learned what it was doing.The pressures of “time” and “destination” are further blocks to awareness. I encountered many hikers who were headed to a distant camp-ground with just enough time to get there before dark. It seldom occurred to them to wander a bit, to take a moment to see whats around them. I asked them what theyd seen. “Oh, a few birds, ” they said. They seemed bent on their destinations.Nature seems to unfold to people who watch and wait. Next time you take a walk, no matter where it is, take in all the sights, sounds and sensations. Wander in this frame of mind and you will open a new dimension to your life. 47. According to Paragraph 2, compared with adults, children are more _. A. anxious to do wonders. B. sensitive to others feelings. C. likely to develop unpleasant habits. D. eager to explore the world around them.48. What idea does the author convey in Paragraph 3? A. To avoid jumping to conclusions. B. To stop complaining all the time. C. To follow the teachers advice. D. To admit mistakes honestly.49. The bird watchers behavior shows that they _. A. are very patient in their observation. B. are really fascinated by nature. C. care only about the names of birds. D. question the accuracy of the field guides.50. In the passage, the author intends to tell us we should _. A. fill our senses to feel the wonders of the world. B. get rid of some bad habits in our daily life. C. open our mind to new things and ideas. D. try our best to protect nature.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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Shortness of breath has many different causes, and the treatment of it is specific for each cause. 51 There are, however, some following first aid steps you can use to treat it, at least until the ambulance arrives or youre able to get the victim to a hospital. 52 The more energy you spend, the more oxygen you use and the more short of breath you feel.
