They advise local governments on ways to improve communities,and they design entirely new communities. In South Florida, for example, city planners are working to improve existing communities. The population of the area (21) _ (expect) to increase from 5.5 million to 7.5 million by 2020. The growth is headed to the west, (22)_ there is still open land. But western growth creates a costly need for new roads, and is a threat (23)_ the ecological system of the Florida Everglades（沼泽地）. City planners are trying to lure（诱惑） people back into the older, (24)_ (developed) eastern section of the region by funneling growth in that direction and away from the western section. City planners also plan and develop new communities. These communities, called new cities or new towns, (25)_( include) both places to live and places to work. New cities, such as Brazils capital Brasilia, a community founded in 1900, (26) _ be constructed far from existing cities. Such cities are designed with enough facilities and job opportunities for all residents. (27)_(build) completely new cities is very costly, however, Brasilia and Canberra, Australia, are two examples of the few new cities that have ever been completed. New towns are different from new cities (28)_ _ they are built within commuting distance of large cities. They may also be planned communities within a city. New towns provide jobs for many of their residents, but they also rely on neighboring cities for jobs. Two of the first new towns (29)_(build) in the United States were Columbia, Maryland, and Reston, Virginia. At the end of the 20th century, (30)_ estimated 100 new towns were planned or under construction in the United States.Section BDirections: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box.Each word can only be used once.

In the beginning, it was about position technologies (34) _,but it is becoming more complex moving towards all the aspects of agriculture.Its something thats already happening, as corporations and farm offices collect vast amounts of information from crop yields, soil-mapping, fertilizer (35) _, weather data, machinery, and animal health. In a subset of smart farming, Precision Livestock Farming (PLF),sensors are used for (36) _ and early detection of reproduction events and health disorders in animals.The European Union has sponsored several projects on the topic. The (37) _ running EU-PLF project, for instance, is designed to look at the feasibility of bringing proven and cost-effective Precision Livestock Farming tools from the (38) _ to the farm.Several private companies are also starting to be (39) _ in this eld, such as Anemon (Switzerland), eCow (UK), Connected Cow (Medria Technologies and Deutsche Telekom). Smart fishing is at (40) _ stage with some projects in Europe, South Korea, North America and Japan.Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A,B,C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.I do not speak only to parent groups. I spend a lot of time with students, such as those I encountered not long ago on a memorable visit to Wendell Phillips High School, an inner-city school on Chicagos south side.Before I spoke, the people who invited me to the Windy City held a reception (41) _. There I met and talked with school officials and local religious leaders, many of whom informed me about the (42) _ neighborhood where the school is located. They indicated that (43) _ influence was widespread, living conditions were miserable in the surrounding public housing developments, dropout statistics were high, and SAT scores were low.It sounded like a lot of other high schools I have visited around the country.Yet (44) _ strong were these warnings that, on the crosstown drive to the school, I could not help wondering what kind of reception I would receive from the students.I (45) _ not have worried. When I walked into Wendell Phillips High School, its long deserted hallways gave the building an empty feel. The entire student body had already been (46) _ from class and was assembled quietly in the schools auditorium. A school administrator, who was addressing the audience, noted my entrance through a back door and abruptly (47) _ his remarks to announce, “And heres Dr. Carson now!”All eyes turned my way. Immediately students began to applaud. Some stood. (48) _ they were all standing, clapping and cheering. The applause continued the (49) _ ever receiving a warmer, more enthusiastic, or more spontaneous (50) _ anywhere in my entire life.I found out later that a local bank had purchased and (51) _ paperback copies of my autobiography, Gifted Hands, to every student at Wendell Phillips. A lot of those teenagers had evidently read the book and felt they already knew me. By the time I reached the microphone, the noise (52) _. I felt overwhelmed by their welcome.I did (53) _ I often do when facing such a young audience. I wanted them thinking seriously about their lives and futures. So I quickly (54) _ my earliest years as a child, about my own students days back at Southwestern High School in Detroit. I referred briefly to the incident when my anger (55) _ caused a tragedy that would have altered my life forever. I recounted my struggles with peer pressure, which sidetracked me for a time.From the students expressions, I knew my talk would influence another group of young people.41.A.in my presence B. in my honor C.at my convenience D. during my absence42.A.troubled B.troublesome C.tiring D.tired43.A.school B.community C.genetic D.gang44.A too B.so C.very D.quite45.A.must B.may C.need D.could46.A.expelled B.excluded C.exhausted D.excused47.A.continued B.made C.interrupted D.ignored48.A.Suddenly B.Hesitantly C.Gradually D.Consequently49.A.bear B.resist C.remember D.expect50.A.acknowledgement B.resolution C.reception D.respect51.A.distributed B.attribued C.released D.sold52.A.passed by B.drowned me out C.burst out D.faded away53.A.what B.much C.nothing D.all but54.A.browsed B.summarized C.overlooked D.refreshed55.A.definitely B.nearly C.hardly D.absurdlySection ADirections: Read the following passages.

Sherry Enochs, 52, opened the doors of her at-home day care to the two small children she would be watching that day. At around 11:30, Sherrys daughter Lindsey, 22, kissed her 19-month-old son, Laine, left him in her mothers care, and hurried off to her own day care job.Quiet,strong and compassionate,Sherry had spent her life taking care of everyone.Shed raised five children of her own and was doting a grandmother.Today,in addition to Laine and the two children she was watching - 19-month-old Abigail and three-year old Connor - the house was home to two dogs and a couple of goldfish.Around midday, she got a call from her daughter Megan,26,who was five months pregnant and lived about 10km away in Heartland.”Look at the TV,Mum,”she said.On-screen,news crews were showing footage from Lancaster,just 50km away,of a tornado hurling tractor-trailers around.“Is it coming this way?”asked Sherry.“No.It sounds like its going to stay west of Forney.”Relieved,Sherry turned her attention back to the children,busying herself to such an extent thay she never heard the sirens warning the residents to seek shelter.Laine was in his toddler bed watching a cartoon.Connor and Abigail were playing on the floor.Then Sherrys phone rang:Megan again.“Mum,look outside!”This time there was a note of urgency in her voice.Sherry went down the hallway to her bedroom.She looked out the window,and her heart lodged in her throat.A tornado was tearing across the open field adjacent to the subdivision.It was massive - a great vaporous funnel（漏斗）with a sharp bend in it becoming narrow to an earthward point.Behind it the sky was black.A jagged bolt of lightning fired inside the funnel.The twisters path was now obvious:it was heading right into Diamond Creek.“Is here,Megan,”Sherry yelled.”The tornado is here!”Keeping Megan on the phone,she ran down the hall to the front room.There she lifted Laine and Abigail and hustled Connor back up the hallway and into the middle bathroom.”Get in the tub,”she ordered the bewildered kids.The Enochs had no cellar,so the tub would be the safest place to take cover.Sherry climbed into the bathtub and sat Abigail and Connor shoulder-to-shoulder,placing her legs over them.56.According to the passage,which of the following can best describe Sherry? A.Brave and dumb. B.Passionate and reliant. C.Caring and cool-hearted. D.Responsible and childish.57.Why didnt Sherry take necessary precautions（预防措施）when Megan called for the first time? A.She was too busy taking care of the kids to take any measures. B.She was told that the tornado would not sweep the area she lived. C.She answered the phone so that she missed the warning. D.She was confident of dealing with this common disaster properly.58.When did Sherry notice the sign of the tornado? A.When the family got up that morning. B.When Lindsey left to work. C.When Sherry turned on the television. D.When Megan called for the second time.59.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? A.Megan regretted giving the false information to her mother. B.Sherry made best use of whatever she could find to take shelter. C.Sherry couldnt afford the time to get into the cellar. D.The kids realized the danger by instinct and thus became obedient.（B）Hillary vs. The DonaldFor years,general and politicians used sports metaphors to explain some of the most consequential issues of our time.So just this once,lets flip the script.Forget for a moment that the future of America - not to mention civilization - hangs in the balance.Instead,imagine the debate as a sporting event.Think Trump as Mike Tyson.Announcer:”Hes still looking to land that one big punch.And hes had it with the fact-checking low blows and policy-question clinches.Hold on!Did he j
