With millins f riders n the rad, China’s fd delivery industry has lng prided itself n being able t reach every crner f the cuntry. Nw, Meituan is even ffering t deliver takeut t the Great Wall — drpped ff nt by a wrker n an electric bike, but by a drne (无人机) sliding frm the sky.
Fr the millins f turists wh visit the Great Wall each year, the drne delivery service ffers a new level f cnvenience. Visitrs can nw rder meals and drinks via their smartphnes, with drnes delivering their rders t their lcatins n the wall, which eliminates the need fr turists t leave their spts, allwing them t fully engage in the experience f visiting the Great Wall withut interruptins.
The Great Wall drne rute extends frm a nearby htel rftp t a watchtwer n the suthern part f Badaling, an area previusly free f cmmercial (商业的) facilities. “That’s where drnes can help,” Yan Yan, public affairs directr f Meituan’s drne business, tld CCTV. “Thrugh drnes, we can make trips that take 50 minutes n ft in five minutes and deliver heat relief bjects and emergency supplies t visitrs.”
Once an rder is received, a Meituan wrker will pick it up frm a nearby stre and bring it t the htel rftp, where it will be weighed and packaged. An peratr then ties the package t the drne, which will fly n autpilt t the watchtwer, where anther wrker waits t receive it and hands it ver t the custmer.
The cmpany will initially ffer free delivery while it tests the service, and claims that pricing will stay similar t that f regular deliveries afterward.
Meituan’s drne delivery at the Great Wall is anther example f hw drne technlgy can be used fr the last mile. The prgram culd serve as a mdel fr similar services in ther turist-heavy r gegraphically challenging lcatins wrldwide and have a prmising future.
24. What des the underlined wrd “eliminates” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Ignres.B. Identifies.C. Satisfies.D. Remves.
25. Hw des Yan Yan sund abut the drne delivery?
A. Critical.B. Dubtful.C. Apprving.D. Uncncerned.
26. What are the main features f Meituan’s drne delivery service at the Great Wall?
A. Cnvenient and innvative.B. Pricy but dependable.
C. Dangerus and time-cnsuming.D. Traditinal but high-cst.
27. What des paragraph 4 mainly tell us?
A. Hw the packages are attached t the drnes.B. Hw the drne delivery service is carried ut.
C. Hw peratrs cntrl the rutes f the drnes.D. Hw custmers’ rder infrmatin is received.
【答案】24. D 25. C 26. A 27. B
【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了美团提供无人机送货服务，为长城上的游客提供便利。
【24题详解】词句猜测题。根据第二段“Fr the millins f turists wh visit the Great Wall each year, the drne delivery service ffers a new level f cnvenience.(对于每年参观长城的数百万游客来说，无人机送货服务提供了一个新的便利水平)”；划线词上文“Visitrs can nw rder meals and drinks via their smartphnes, with drnes delivering their rders t their lcatins n the wall(游客现在可以通过智能手机点餐和饮料，无人机会把他们点的东西送到他们在长城上的位置)”以及后文“the need fr turists t leave their spts, allwing them t fully engage in the experience f visiting the Great Wall withut interruptins(……离开景点的需要，让他们完全沉浸在游览长城的体验中，不受干扰)”可知，游客现在可以通过智能手机点餐和饮料，无人机会把他们点的东西送到他们在长城上的位置，这样就去除了离开景点的需要，让他们完全沉浸在游览长城的体验中，不受干扰。故划线词意思是“去除”。故选D。
【25题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段““That’s where drnes can help,” Yan Yan, public affairs directr f Meituan’s drne business, tld CCTV. “Thrugh drnes, we can make trips that take 50 minutes n ft in five minutes and deliver heat relief bjects and emergency supplies t visitrs.”(“这就是无人机能帮上忙的地方，”美团无人机业务公共事务总监闫燕在接受中央电视台采访时表示。“通过无人机，我们可以在5分钟内完成步行50分钟的行程，并为游客提供散热物品和应急物资。”)”可知，燕燕支持无人机送货。故选C。
【26题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段“Nw, Meituan is even ffering t deliver takeut t the Great Wall — drpped ff nt by a wrker n an electric bike, but by a drne (无人机) sliding frm the sky.(现在，美团甚至提供送外卖到长城的服务——不是由骑着电动自行车的工人送外卖，而是由一架从空中滑翔的无人机送外卖)”以及第二段“Fr the millins f turists wh visit the Great Wall each year, the drne delivery service ffers a new level f cnvenience.(对于每年参观长城的数百万游客来说，无人机送货服务提供了一个新的便利水平)”可知，美团长城无人机送货服务的主要特点是方便、创新。故选A。
【27题详解】主旨大意题。根据第四段“Once an rder is received, a Meituan wrker will pick it up frm a nearby stre and bring it t the htel rftp, where it will be weighed and packaged. An peratr then ties the package t the drne, which will fly n autpilt t the watchtwer, where anther wrker waits t receive it and hands it ver t the custmer.(一旦收到订单，美团的工作人员就会从附近的商店取货，送到酒店的屋顶，在那里称重和包装。然后一名操作人员将包裹绑在无人机上，无人机将自动飞行到瞭望塔，另一名工作人员等待接收并将其交给客户)”可知，第4段主要告诉我们无人机送货服务是如何进行的。故选B。
C
Pets may seem like smething f a luxury (奢侈品). In return fr a lifetime f fd and lve, they dn’t seem t ffer practical value. When was the last time yu saw a pet dg helping a farmer in a field r taking grceries ff the car? S what d pets really give us? Well, that depends n wh yu ask.
It turns ut, sme peple may like animals by nature-likely because animals first tricked their way int ur ancestrs’ (祖先) lives by ffering a very real service.
Smewhere between 15,000 and 5,000 years ag, humans started dmesticating (驯化) animals. Separating them frm wild animals was necessary, r it wuld have slwed dwn the dmesticatin. S, t make sure the wild stayed wild and the dmestic stayed dmestic, a few frtunate animals were allwed t live indrs and mre clsely alngside humans.
Eventually thse prtected animals did what animals d. They frmed a clse relatinship with peple. Peple with an understanding f animals and animal keeping develped mre quickly than thse withut, wh had t cntinue t depend n hunting t get meat.
The very same genes (基因) that spread amng thse early farmers make sme peple mre likely t keep their first cat r dg tday. Early farmers valued a real service prvided by animals, like guarding crps, farming and prviding fd. Over time, this valuing have becme an appreciatin fr animals in general.
Maybe that’s why effrts t create rbtic dgs have nt becme ppular yet. A rbtic dg may walk like a dg and bark like a dg and even lk like a dg. But ur genes tell us it isn’t a dg. Will we be able t appreciate and cnnect with this creature the way ur ancestrs did with real animals? It’s hard t imagine the rbtic dg being able t learn that very ld trick.
28. What helped animals dmesticatin?
A. Keeping wild and dmestic animals apart.
B. Frming a clse cnnectin with animals.
C. Making sure the wild stayed dmestic.
D. Allwing mre animals t live indrs.
29. What happened t the animal-keeping peple later?
A. They created rbtic dgs.B. They depended n hunting.
C. They lived a better life.D. They quit keeping animals.
30. Why are rbtic dgs unppular?
A. They are unable t play tricks.
B. They fail t cnnect with humans.
C. They d nt bark like real dgs.
D. They are unfriendly t humans.
31. Where d peple’s lve fr pets cme frm?
A. Their birthplaces.B. Their wrk.
C. Their educatin.D. Their genes.
【答案】28. A 29. C 30. B 31. D
【语篇解读】本文说明文。主要讲述了为什么人们无条件的喜欢宠物其实是因为人与动物之间的联系是天生的是由基因决定的，而这恰恰是机器狗无法比拟的。
【28题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段“Separating them frm wild animals was necessary, r it wuld have slwed dwn the dmesticatin. S, t make sure the wild stayed wild and the dmestic stayed dmestic, a few frtunate animals were allwed t live indrs and mre clsely alngside humans.(将他们与野生动物分开是必要的，否则就会减慢驯化的速度。因此，为了确保野生动物保持野生，家养动物保持家养，一些幸运的动物被允许住在室内，与人类更密切地生活在一起)”可知，把野生动物和家养动物分离开来是必须的，否则将会减慢驯化的进程。故选A。
【29题详解】推理判断题。根据第四段“Eventually thse prtected animals did what animals d. They frmed a clse relatinship with peple. Peple with an understanding f animals and animal keeping develped mre quickly than thse withut, wh had t cntinue t depend n hunting t get meat.(最终，这些受保护的动物做了动物该做的事。他们与人建立了密切的关系。了解动物和动物饲养的人比那些不了解动物和动物饲养的人发展得更快，后者不得不继续依靠狩猎来获取肉类)”可知，对动物和动物抚养表示理解的人通常发展得要比那些没有理解的人更快，因此可以推出他们生活地更好。故选C。
【30题详解】细节理解题。根据最后一段“Maybe that’s why effrts t create rbtic dgs have nt becme ppular yet. A rbtic dg may walk like a dg and bark like a dg and even lk like a dg. But ur genes tell us it isn’t a dg. Will we be able t appreciate and cnnect with this creature the way ur ancestrs did with real animals? It’s hard t imagine the rbtic dg being able t learn that very ld trick.(也许这就是制造机器狗的努力还没有流行起来的原因。机器狗可能会像狗一样走路，像狗一样叫，甚至看起来像狗。但我们的基因告诉我们它不是狗。我们能像我们的祖先对待真正的动物那样欣赏并与这种生物建立联系吗？很难想象机器狗能够学会这个古老的把戏)”可知，机器狗尽管叫的声音和长得都像真的狗，但是它不可能和真的动物一样和我们人类建立真正的联系。故选B。
【31题详解】推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“The very same genes (基因) that spread amng thse early farmers make sme peple mre likely t keep their first cat r dg tday. Early farmers valued a real service prvided by animals, like guarding crps, farming and prviding fd. Over time, this valuing have becme an appreciatin fr animals in general.(在这些早期农民中传播的基因使一些人今天更有可能养他们的第一只猫或狗。早期的农民重视动物提供的真正的服务，比如保护庄稼、耕种和提供食物。随着时间的推移，这种价值已经成为一种对动物的普遍欣赏)”以及最后一段“But ur genes tell us it isn’t a dg.(但我们的基因告诉我们它不是狗)”以及纵观全文可知，人们对于动物的喜爱是天生的也就是基因决定的。故选D。
D
Califrnia has lst half its big trees since the 1930s, accrding t a study t be published Tuesday and climate change seems t be a majr factr(因素).
The number f trees larger than tw feet acrss has declined by 50 percent n mre than 46, 000 square miles f Califrnia frests, the new study finds. N area was spared r unaffected, frm the fggy nrthern cast t the Sierra Nevada Muntains t the San Gabriels abve Ls Angeles. In the Sierra high cuntry, the number f big trees has fallen by mre than 55 percent; in parts f suthern Califrnia the decline was nearly 75 percent.
Many factrs cntributed t the decline, said Patrick McIntyre, an eclgist wh was the lead authr f the study. Wdcutters targeted big trees. Husing develpment pushed int the wds. Aggressive wildfire cntrl has left Califrnia frests crwded with small trees that cmpete with big trees fr resurces(资源).
But in cmparing a study f Califrnia frests dne in the 1920s and 1930s with anther ne between 2001 and 2010, McIntyre and his clleagues dcumented a widespread death f big trees that was evident even in wildlands prtected frm wdcutting r develpment.
The lss f big trees was greatest in areas where trees had suffered the greatest water shrtage. The researchers figured ut water stress with a cmputer mdel that calculated hw much water trees were getting in cmparisn with hw much they needed, taking int accunt such things as rainfall, air temperature, dampness f sil, and the timing f snwmelt(融雪).
Since the 1930s, McIntyre said, the biggest factrs driving up water stress in the state have been rising temperatures, which cause trees t lse mre water t the air, and earlier snwmelt, which reduces the water supply available t trees during the dry seasn.
32. What is the secnd paragraph mainly abut?
A. The seriusness f big-tree lss in Califrnia.
B. The increasing variety f Califrnia big trees.
C. The distributin f big trees in Califrnia frests.
D. The influence f farming n big trees in Califrnia.
33. Which f the fllwing is well-intentined but may be bad fr big trees?
A. Eclgical studies f frests.
B. Banning wdcutting.
C. Limiting husing develpment.
D. Fire cntrl measures.
34. What is a majr cause f the water shrtage accrding t McIntyre?
A. Inadequate snwmelt.B. A lnger dry seasn.
C. A warmer climate.D. Dampness f the air.
35. What can be a suitable title fr the text?
A. Califrnia’s Frests: Where Have All the Big Trees Gne?
B. Cutting f Big Trees t Be Prhibited in Califrnia Sn
C. Why Are the Big Trees Imprtant t Califrnia Frests?
D. Patrick McIntyre: Grw Mre Big Trees in Califrnia
【答案】32. A 33. D 34. C 35. A
【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。根据一项研究显示，自20世纪30年代以来，加州已经损失了一半的大树，而气候变化似乎是其主要因素。

【37题详解】分析设空，可知是本段的小标题，是对本段的概括，根据下文“Research shws that peple wh are ptimistic and think psitively tend t experience less stress and cpe well when faced with life’s challenges. Peple wh are mre pessimistic (expect that the wrst will happen) may find it hard t believe that these challenges will pass.(研究表明，乐观和积极思考的人在面对生活挑战时往往会经历更少的压力，并能很好地应对。更悲观的人(认为最坏的事情会发生)可能很难相信这些挑战会过去)”可知，本段主要讲述了，乐观和积极思考的好处，所以C项“Why is thinking psitively gd fr yu?(为什么积极思考对你有好处?)”符合文意。故选C项。

【39题详解】根据前文“Optimism is shaped by yur genes, which carry characteristics inherited frm yur parents, and by what happens t yu.(乐观是由你的基因塑造的，它带有从你父母那里遗传来的特征，也由你身上发生的事情决定)”以及后文“Research has shwn that it can help t draw r write an utcme that’s psitive —fr example, an image f yu playing guitar, having passed yur next grade. (研究表明，画或写一个积极的结果会有所帮助——例如，你弹吉他的画面，已经通过了下一个等级)”可知，F项“Hwever, whatever yur starting pint is, everyne can learn it.(然而，无论你的出发点是什么，每个人都可以学习它)”和前文构成转折关系，且和后文构成顺承关系。故选F项。
【40题详解】分析设空，谓语段尾，应是对前文的总结，所以根据前文“Research has shwn that it can help t draw r write an utcme that’s psitive-fr example, an image f yu playing guitar, having passed yur next grade.(研究表明，画或写一个积极的结果是有帮助的——比如，你弹吉他的画面，通过了下一个等级)”可知，前文讲述想象积极的结果是有帮助的，所以D项“Imagining this can mtivate yu t wrk t achieve it.(想象这个可以激励你致力于去实现它)”符合文意，是对前文的总结。故选D项。
