Many people feel this way after lunch. They may think that eating lun

18、ch is the cause of the sleepiness. Or, in summer, they may think it is the heat. However, the real reason lies inside their bodies. At that time about eight hours after you wake up your body temperature goes down. This is what makes you slow down and feel sleepy. Scientists have tested sleep habits

19、in experiments where there was no night or day. The people in these experiments almost always followed a similar sleeping pattern. They slept for one long period and then for one short period about eight hours later.In many parts of the world, people take naps(小睡) in the middle of the day. This is e

20、specially true in warmer climates, where the heat makes work difficult in the early afternoon. Researchers are now saying that naps are good for everyone in any climate. A daily nap gives one a more rested body and mind and therefore is good for health in general. In countries where naps are traditi

21、onal, people often suffer less from problem such as heart disease.Many working people, unfortunately, have no time to take naps. Though doctors may advise taking naps, employers do not allow it!

25、badly wrong.The future, however may well be much smaller. Dozens of companies are working on a new generation of reactors that, they promise, can deliver nuclear power at lower cost and reduced risk.These small-scale plants will on average generate between 50MW and 300MW of power compared with the 1

26、,000MW-plus from a conventional reactor. They will draw on modular manufacturing techniques that will reduce construction risk, which has plagued larger-scale projects. Supporters believe these advanced modular reactors (AMRs)most of which will not be commercial until the 2030sare critical if atomic

27、 power is to compete against the rapidly falling costs of solar and wind.“The physics hasnt changed. Its about much cleverer design that offers much-needed flexibility in terms of operation,” said Tim Stone, long-term industry adviser and chairman of Nuclear risk Insurers, which insures nuclear site

28、s in the UK.Since the Fukushima meltdown in Japan in 2011, safety fears have threatened nuclear power. But the biggest obstacle today is economic. In western Europe, just three plants are under construction: in the UK at Hinkley point C in Somerset; at Flamanville in France; and at Olkiluoto in Finl

29、and. All involve the European Pressurized Reactor technology of EDF that will be used at Hinkley Point. All are running years late and over budget. In the US, the first two nuclear projects under way for the past 30 years are also blowing through cost estimates.The UK, which opened the worlds first

30、commercial nuclear reactor in 1956, is one of the few western nations committed to renewing its ageing fleet to ensure energy security and meet tough carbon reduction targets. It is seen as a proving ground, by many in the industry, of nuclear powers ability to restore confidence.However, the countr

31、ys agreement with EDF to build two units at Hinkley Pointwhich together will generate 3.2GW of electricityhas come under severe criticism over its cost. The government is looking at different funding models but said it still sees nuclear power as vital to the countrys future energy mix. Small reacto

32、rs, it believes, have the potential to generate much-needed power from the 2030s.A nuclear sector deal, unveiled last month, promised up to 56m in funding for research and development into AMRs and attracted interest of start-ups from around the world. The government hopes the funding will give the

33、UK a lead in the global race to develop these technologies, helping to provide energy security while also creating a multibillion-dollar export market for British engineering companies.1、Which of the following is true about the advanced modular reactors (AMRs)?AAMRs produce more power than tradition

34、al reactorsBSmall in scale, AMRs rose more safety risksCSo far, most AMRs have not been put into use yetDGovernments prefer energy of solar and wind to that of AMRs2、In paragraph 5, the author mentions the plants in Western Europe and the US to _.Aprove that nuclear power has been threatened by safe

35、ty concern.Bshow that the construction of nuclear power plants cost more that the budget available.Cindicate the construction of nuclear plants are slow in speed.Dpoint out that most power plants have adopted the latest nuclear technology.3、What can be inferred from the passage?ASome people have los

36、t confidence in the development of nuclear plantsBThe UK government seeks to reduce the negative impact of nuclear power on its economy.CThe plan to build two power plants in Hinkley Point has been desertedDa kind costs for small modular reactors would be higher relative to large nuclear reactors.4、

37、Which of the following can serve as the best title of this passage?ABritain counts on nuclear energy to keep lights onBTraditional nuclear plants boom with mini reactorsCNuclears share of power generation remain steadDNuclear power looks to shrink its way to success24（8分）An autonomous vehicle design

38、ed for making local commerce deliveries was uncovered by Nuro. The vehicle is about the height of an SW but far narrower than a typical car. The electric car features four outside compartments（暗格）two on each side -to hold separate deliveries. Each compartment can be tailored to a specific use, such

39、as cooking a pizza or refrigerating a package.“We can use self-driving technology to deliver anything, anytime, anywhere for basically all local goods and services,” Nuro co-founder Dave Ferguson said. “Consumers used to be okay with two-week paid shipping. It became two-week free delivery, followed

40、 by one week, two days, and the same day. Now same-day delivery isnt fast enough for some customers.”Nuro isnt alone in building robots for local commerce deliveries. Earlier this month, Toyota, a Japanese car company, uncovered a concept vehicle that could be used for package delivery. A handful of

41、 startupsincluding Starship Technologies, Marble and Dispatchare testing small robots for deliveries on sidewalks.Nuros vehicle will likely face legal hurdles. Fully autonomous vehicles without a test diver arent legal in California today, and many companies have shifted testing o states where regul

42、ators are more welcoming of autonomous vehicles, such as Arizona.Nuro expects to face fewer challenges because it doesnt carry passengers. Nuros narrow size may also be helpful when navigating streets and avoiding pedestrians. The vehicle isnt equipped with any special features to communicate with p

43、edestrians or other road users. Some companies have tested and patented solutions such as digital screens that signal the cars next move. Ferguson said his team conducted studies and found that such techniques could confuse people. Nuro believes its better to make sure the car performs predictably,

44、so that human drivers know what to expect from it.“We feel by creating this new technology thats going to enable this last mile delivery, were going to be creating new markets and doing things that previously werent possible,” Ferguson said. “This is not swapping out jobs with robots. Its creating n

45、ew markets. There will definitely be new employment opportunities.”1、What is the main characteristic of the Nuros self-driving vehicle?AIt can cook delicious meals for customers.BIt is a pioneer in the field of self-driving vehicles.CIt is fur narrower and higher than other autonomous ones.DIts deli

46、veries can be transported in the special compartment.2、Which can best replace the underlined word “hurdles” in Paragraph 4?Abreakthrough. Bdilemma.Crestriction. Dprotection.3、Why is the Nuros vehicle not equipped with communicating features?AIts digital screens often break down.BPeople may be puzzle

47、d at the features.CThe features have not been developed.DIts performance is usually hard to predict.4、What can we infer about Fergusons opinion on this new technology?ABeneficial. BChallenging.CControversial. DAmbiguous.25（10分） “Tomorrow is another day” this line has impressed various people at vari

48、ous times. Its now 70 years afteritappeared in the film, but it still seems to hold its power especially during an economic downturn.The phrase comes from a film adaptation of Margaret Mitchells successful 1936 novel Gone With the Wind.

49、eroine, Scarlett O Hara, who struggles to find love during the Civil War and, afterwards, of her strength in surviving the war and its hardships.Love storyIn a moment of despair, Scarlett finally realizes that her love belongs to Rhett Butler. For many audiences, it is the theme of love and struggle

50、 that has kept the movie alive. While the burning of Atlanta might seem irrelevant (不相关的) to todays viewers, the timeless theme of love keeps its ability to touch people.With a promise to her lover still in her mind, Scarlett chooses to stay in the midst of war and take care of Melanie.

52、econstruction in the South. The background made this film a true classic in the epic genre.When the film opened after World War II, French viewers loved it, and it reminded them of their fight against the Nazis. In 1940 Shanghai, during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression (侵略), people

53、stood in line for hours to watch this film, and saw the same suffering they were having as well as the hope and possibility of building a new homeland from the ruins. Each nationality could identify with the story and see it as a victory. In fact, Gone With the Wind never lost its charm and ability

54、to inspire and amaze.Biggest of all timeThe film had five directors, 15-plus screenwriters, and an unexpected $3.9 million budget.
