Section B
Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.

(A)
Don't Drop the Ball
Drop prevention risk assessment is really important. Everyone knows objects get dropped on work sites - there's nothing radical about that. In Australia, mining has the third. highest fatality rate of any industry (4.4 fatalities per 100,000 workers in 2015), and in less well-documented areas like India the fatality rate is even higher. A lot of these fatalities come from, dropped. objects. It's worth trying to address this and work out just how big the risk is and where it comes from. At the end of the day, safety should be a priority in any industry and it should come as no surprise that addressing safety issues early can actually save money, long-term, for companies. It doesn't looked good for a mining company if people are getting injured and equipment damaged from falling objects.
The risks from dropped objects come from all sorts of areas; it's not just a matter of dropped tools.' We're talking about sites characterized by a lot of, activities, where all sorts of things can come loose or fall, whether its light fittings or objects like rocks falling off transporting belts. The risks are largely personal but are also financial: if a piece of equipment gets damaged it will need replacing. That's a pretty strong inspiration for companies to address these risks. In terms of frequency, here in Australia we're looking at around 18% of compensation claims coming from workers being hit by moving objects, but those are just the claims the frequency is likely higher.Around 28%. of deaths and injuries come from such incidents, too. As I said earlier, that's just Australia; some industries don't keep statistics, but I wouldn't be surprised to find other countries report comparable rates. That's a lot of accidents that could be prevented with adequate safety measures.
It's important to take an active approach. It's a lot easier and cheaper to address these risks during the installation or maintenance phases by adding barriers to the inside of guard railings on walkways and transporting systems and adding nets to fixed devices. There are safety mechanisms available, but it's up to the companies to install them. It is a lot more efficient to add barriers right from the start rather than waiting for an accident and then thinking, Should we be safer?", when they should have reduced these risks from the start.

56. Why is drop prevention risk assessment important?
A. People seldom knows the extent of risk.
B. Many bosses consider their reputation.
C. Many deaths are caused by falling objects.
D. Companies need to save a lot of money.

57. What sorts of risks from dropped objects are there in the mining industry?
A. Light devices on the transporting belt.
B. Personal injury and equipment damage.
C. Safety issues and corporate development.
D. Compensation claims and statistics.

58. Which of the following statistical statements is true?
A. The frequency is higher though some industries do not have statistics.
B. Some 46 percent of deaths and injuries resulted from such incidents.
C. Four out of ten people died in incidents like this every year.
D. There have been more incidents in Australia than anywhere else.

59. What is suggested by the author to reduce the risks?
A. To find a security mechanism.
B. To reduce the use of tools.
C. To replace the damaged equipment.
D. To install some security equipment.

(B)

The Rapid Rise and Fall of Robot Babysitters
During the winter of 2017, an 18-year old college student named Canon Reeves spent much of his time trailing a knee-high robot around Fayetteville, Arkansas, as it delivered Amazon packages to students. The robot, created by a start-up called Starship Technologies in 2014. is basically a cooler on wheels: it uses radars, sensors, and nine cameras to make deliveries. Reeves 's job was to monitor how it handled various grounds, field comments from the public, and press the off switch if necessary. He said, People would also ask if it could deliver beer. It couldn't.
Broadly speaking. jobs of caring for robots fall under the umbrella of careers in automation,which include maintenance, engineering and programming. The demand for people with this skill set is considerable, with 20 million to 50 million new jobs to be expected in this category by 2030,according to the Mckinsey Global Institute. In the year that ended in June 2018, Indeed.com had almost three times the number of positions on the recruitment committee that ended in June 2016.
Over the last year, a 34-year-old businessman named David Rodriguez spent hundreds of hours following a machine called the KiwiBot around UC Berkeley 's campus while it delivered Red bull and other' drinks to students. To retrieve (检索) orders, the app encourages students to give the robot a wave; the robot's digital eyes will roll depending on its mood. Rodriguez, who heads business development for the start-up, was tasked, early on, with monitoring the KiwiBot for problems even carrying it, should the motors fail. Since April 2018, though, the KiwiBot has largely been left unattended, and the majority of human interactions involve technical checks. and loading food into the robot. To eliminate the boring work, the team is developing a restaurant robot to collect and load orders - which could happen in 2020. However, Rodriguez assured me that his staff wont be out of work. Everyone holds double roles in the company. Greater robot self- governing just means employees will shift their focus to accounting. engineering, and design.
Mckinsey estimates that millions of jobs globally could be lost to automation by 2030. A huge number of jobs will be produced as autonomous vehicles are released into the environment,Ramsey said. In 2016, Bosch started training students from Schooleraft College, a community college in Michigan, in autonomous-vehicle repair; Toyota has trained students in maintenance as well. *We might even see a return to low-level jobs where people come and fuel the car for you,"Ramsey said. Unti1 we can wirelessly charge, someone needs to refuel them." The hardest-to-automate industries, as it happens, are the ones that require looking after humans, such as childcare, education and health care. Robot babysitters might feel like they have scored the job of the future, but in fact. they might be better positioned.

63. What kind of robot is the one created by a start-up called Starship Technologies?
A. A factory robot. B. A delivery robot.
C. A restaurant robot. D. A construction robot.

64. What does “fall under the umbrella” of' in Para. 2 mean?
A. are in the category of
B. are under the protection of
C. are in relation of
D. are in the process of
65. According to Ramsey, what will happen when autonomous vehicles are put on the market?
A. Autonomous vehicles will become much cheaper.
B. A large number of people will be out of work.
C. A lot of job opportunities will be created.
D. Many people will turn to buying autonomous cars.

66. What does the last sentence in Para. 4 mean?
A. Robot carers will have a competitive advantage in the future.
B. Many new occupations like caring for robots come and go fast.
C. We still need someone to look after robots in the future.
D. Robots will create more and better jobs for people in the future.

IV. Summary Writing
Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.

China's National Treasure
Pandas are in danger of extinction at present, with only 1,900 remaining in the world. The scientific name of the giant panda is actually called the cat bear, the number of which is very scarce. It is one of the most precious animals in the world and belongs to the protected animals at the national level, Its body color is black and white. Giant pandas are unique to China, very cute.The existing major habitats are in the surrounding mountainous areas such as Sichuan and Shanxi in China. The giant panda has a very powerful function: digesting bamboo. We all know that bamboo is mainly cellulose (纤维素), and most animals can't digest it except giant pandas. The giant panda's hometown is in the mountains southwest of China, green bamboos and springs everywhere. Therefore, the giant panda's main food consists of bamboo and spring water.

Giant pandas are often referred to as living fossils. Hundreds of thousands of years ago, it was the peak period of giant pandas.This is of great scientific value for studying and protecting biodiversity and environmental changes on the earth. Long, long ago, the climate of the earth became colder and colder, many ice cubes formed on the earth; plants could not grow, and many animals were frozen or starved to death.The giant panda alone survived in the deep valleys of the mountains and became a treasure of the animal world. The giant panda still retains the characteristics of ancient animals.' Therefore, the giant panda is not only popular with adults and children in terms of appearance, but also becomes a living fossil for biologists to study ancient creatures.
The status of giant pandas has been politicized. Giant pandas can be seen in almost all the major countries in the world. The giant panda has become a witness of friendship between China and foreign countries. For decades, wherever the giant panda goes, a panda whirlwind will blow,With its charmed figure and natural cuteness, the Chinese giant panda attracts numerous fans around the world, and at the same time plays the role of friendship ambassador in China's foreign exchanges, becoming one of the most famous symbols in China.
