Earlier this year, Dubai announced plans to be the world's first city to use self-driving taxis. In June, it placed the first robot police officer at shopping centers and places popular with visitors. Dubai police officials now say they plan to use self-driving vehicles to patrol (巡逻)city streets by the end of the year.Dubai will be the first in the world to use the O-R3 vehicle, according to the Singapore company that builds it. The company, OTSAW Digital, recently signed an agreement with the Dubai Police force to supply the driverless robots.The vehicles look a lot like most other automobiles, but are much smaller. I hey are equipped with cameras, machine learning tools and 31) technology to help them operate inde pendently. 1'he robots automatically charge themselves when power gets low.The vehicle s cameras can scan faces and record registration information lo check for criminals and possible illegal activities. A police official said the robot can recognize people in any area. It will be used to ''identify suspicious objects“ and follow suspects. "We seek to increase operations with the help of technology such as robots/5 said Dubai's police chief. "We always search for the best technology to serve our police work for a safer and smarter city."The O-R3 can communicate with computers at police centers in different locations. The patrolling robot is able to send data and video to the centers, where operators can control the vehicle remotely. The vehicles can also work together with drones (无人机)that can be launched from the back of the robot. The drones can then follow the vehicles and provide more support from the air.The CEO of OTSAW Digital, Ting Ming Ling, says the use of such vehicles is designed to help humans with their jobs, not replace them. "Eventually, robots exist to improve the quality of human lives, where men take on high value jobs while robots perform the low skilled ones,“ he said.28. What does the underlined word "them" in paragraph 3 refer to?A. Learning tools. B. O-R3 vehicles.C. Common automobiles. D. 3D cameras.29. What's the main purpose of using the (AR3 vehicles for patrolling?A. To take the place of the work of human beings.B. To gather information of faces in the streets.C. To help investigate criminal activities more effectively.D. To keep an eye on people's behaviors in the city. 30. What does the drone do?A. Protect the vehicle from the sky.B. Gather more information for O-R3 vehicle.C. Show directions for the vehicle.D. Control the vehicle remotely.31. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. Dubai Will Put Self Driving Police Vehicles on Si reelsB. Police in Dubai Have the Most Advantaged EquipmentC. You Will Not See Police Officers in the Streets of DubaiD. Robot Police Officers Arc Much Smarter than Human OnesDAs heat waves continue to ravage the planet, air conditioners are becoming more and more common. However, these “active" cooling devices are posing problems because the elec tricity consumption which most people are concerned about and the release of ozone-damaging chemicals worsen the greenhouse gas effect. resulting in the creation of heat islands and fur ther thermal pollution. Therefore, “passive“ cooling, which doesn't have such effects, has at tracted considerable attention from both scientists and ordinary people in recent years.In a recent study, a team of researchers from China and US presented an eco-friendly, low-cost coating to keep buildings cooler while consuming zero electricity. Infrared radiation-based passive cooling has been investigated since 2014 . but challenges, mainly the expensive and unsustainable design, have greatly limited their large-scale and widespread ap plication. Besides, the imbalance in cooling ability of these coatings during the day and night tends to lead to great day-night temperature differences as more heat is lost than gained at night.The solution therefore requires a “smart" mechanism that can both enhance daytime cool ing and minimize nighttime heat loss. To do this, the researchers created a new smart coating comprised of conventional building materials, including titanium dioxide nanoparticles, fluo rescent microparticles, and glass microspheres that were engineered to reflect most of the sun light. Specifically, the titanium dioxide particles effectively reflect sunlight through light scattering (撒播)while the fluorescent particles increase the amount of reflection by changing the absorbed sunlight into fluorescence emissions, which drive more heat away from the build ing. Meanwhile, the glass microspheres re-send mid-infrared broadband radiation, allowing not only heat loss, but allowing heat exchange to take place between the building and the sky.The coating was tested on a model concrete building. Through this efficient heat ex change with the sky, daytime cooling was strengthened while nighttime cooling was reduced. The building's inside temperature was always maintained at around 26 ℃, even when the out side temperature varied from 24 ℃ to 37 ℃ during the day. We believe this new coating will make it to commercialization soon, enabling a sustainable, passive cooling technology that could help to fight climate change and the global energy crisis.32. What is the virtue of passive cooling?A. It is simple to design. B. It uses no power.C. It is smart. D. It uses no chemicals.33. Why couldn't the former coating be applied commercially?A. It was hard to produce.B. Its material was expensive.C. Its cooling ability is imbalanced.D. It wasn't tested on a model concrete building.34. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “mechanism" in paragraph 3?A. Metal. B. Building. C. System. D. Platform.35. What is the text mainly about?A. The principle of air-conditioning.B. The differences between active and passive cooling.C. A new building to maintain its inside temperature without electricity.D. A new coating to keep buildings cool without electricity.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。选项中有两项为多余 选项。What leads to success in school? 36 "Perseverance", for example, seems to be a bet ter predictor of success than IQ in school and beyond. Researchers have also demonstrated that having a "growth mindset" is associated with academic success, which happens when a person recognizes that abilities are not fixed, but developed through practice.Researchers are exploring other characters that might contribute to success. 37 Data was collected on happiness and grades from 435 students at St Andrew's, including elementa ry, middle and upper school students.38 Specifically, researchers found a statistically significant correlation （正相关）be tween happiness and students' grades from elementary schools through high schools. Students often reported that happiness, or positive feelings like enjoyment or fun, supported their schoolwork. 39 It has been found that a network of supportive relationships is at the heart of happiness. Results showed that the quality of students' relationships with teachers and peers predicted their happiness. Across all ages, students with positive relationships were more likely to be happy.Although voiced in different ways, time and again students of all ages emphasized that their relationships are fundamental to their happiness. These results suggest that there is an important relationship between happiness and academic achievement. More research is needed to explore the relationships among happiness, social networks, and achievement in a school setting. 40 , A. But what supports students to be happy?B. But are happier kids sure to get ahead academically?C. Recent research suggests success is partly driven by the character.D. In recent studies, they explored the relationship between happiness and marks.E. Psychology research showed a link between happiness and success in the workplace.F. The results revealed students who are reported to be happier had higher grades.G. By coincidence, the findings of this study are consistent with earlier ones in psychology. 第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分） 第一节（共20小题;每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最 佳选项。In my starting days of real-life practice, I took up a job in a direct sales firm as a door-to- door marketer.

Earlier this year, Dubai announced plans to be the world's first city to use self-driving taxis. In June, it placed the first robot police officer at shopping centers and places popular with visitors. Dubai police officials now say they plan to use self-driving vehicles to patrol (巡逻)city streets by the end of the year.Dubai will be the first in the world to use the O-R3 vehicle, according to the Singapore company that builds it. The company, OTSAW Digital, recently signed an agreement with the Dubai Police force to supply the driverless robots.The vehicles look a lot like most other automobiles, but are much smaller. I hey are equipped with cameras, machine learning tools and 31) technology to help them operate inde pendently. 1'he robots automatically charge themselves when power gets low.The vehicle s cameras can scan faces and record registration information lo check for criminals and possible illegal activities. A police official said the robot can recognize people in any area. It will be used to ''identify suspicious objects“ and follow suspects. "We seek to increase operations with the help of technology such as robots/5 said Dubai's police chief. "We always search for the best technology to serve our police work for a safer and smarter city."The O-R3 can communicate with computers at police centers in different locations. The patrolling robot is able to send data and video to the centers, where operators can control the vehicle remotely. The vehicles can also work together with drones (无人机)that can be launched from the back of the robot. The drones can then follow the vehicles and provide more support from the air.The CEO of OTSAW Digital, Ting Ming Ling, says the use of such vehicles is designed to help humans with their jobs, not replace them. "Eventually, robots exist to improve the quality of human lives, where men take on high value jobs while robots perform the low skilled ones,“ he said.28. What does the underlined word "them" in paragraph 3 refer to?A. Learning tools. B. O-R3 vehicles.C. Common automobiles. D. 3D cameras.29. What's the main purpose of using the (AR3 vehicles for patrolling?A. To take the place of the work of human beings.B. To gather information of faces in the streets.C. To help investigate criminal activities more effectively.D. To keep an eye on people's behaviors in the city. 30. What does the drone do?A. Protect the vehicle from the sky.B. Gather more information for O-R3 vehicle.C. Show directions for the vehicle.D. Control the vehicle remotely.31. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. Dubai Will Put Self Driving Police Vehicles on Si reelsB. Police in Dubai Have the Most Advantaged EquipmentC. You Will Not See Police Officers in the Streets of DubaiD. Robot Police Officers Arc Much Smarter than Human OnesDAs heat waves continue to ravage the planet, air conditioners are becoming more and more common. However, these “active" cooling devices are posing problems because the elec tricity consumption which most people are concerned about and the release of ozone-damaging chemicals worsen the greenhouse gas effect. resulting in the creation of heat islands and fur ther thermal pollution. Therefore, “passive“ cooling, which doesn't have such effects, has at tracted considerable attention from both scientists and ordinary people in recent years.In a recent study, a team of researchers from China and US presented an eco-friendly, low-cost coating to keep buildings cooler while consuming zero electricity. Infrared radiation-based passive cooling has been investigated since 2014 . but challenges, mainly the expensive and unsustainable design, have greatly limited their large-scale and widespread ap plication. Besides, the imbalance in cooling ability of these coatings during the day and night tends to lead to great day-night temperature differences as more heat is lost than gained at night.The solution therefore requires a “smart" mechanism that can both enhance daytime cool ing and minimize nighttime heat loss. To do this, the researchers created a new smart coating comprised of conventional building materials, including titanium dioxide nanoparticles, fluo rescent microparticles, and glass microspheres that were engineered to reflect most of the sun light. Specifically, the titanium dioxide particles effectively reflect sunlight through light scattering (撒播)while the fluorescent particles increase the amount of reflection by changing the absorbed sunlight into fluorescence emissions, which drive more heat away from the build ing. Meanwhile, the glass microspheres re-send mid-infrared broadband radiation, allowing not only heat loss, but allowing heat exchange to take place between the building and the sky.The coating was tested on a model concrete building. Through this efficient heat ex change with the sky, daytime cooling was strengthened while nighttime cooling was reduced. The building's inside temperature was always maintained at around 26 ℃, even when the out side temperature varied from 24 ℃ to 37 ℃ during the day. We believe this new coating will make it to commercialization soon, enabling a sustainable, passive cooling technology that could help to fight climate change and the global energy crisis.32. What is the virtue of passive cooling?A. It is simple to design. B. It uses no power.C. It is smart. D. It uses no chemicals.33. Why couldn't the former coating be applied commercially?A. It was hard to produce.B. Its material was expensive.C. Its cooling ability is imbalanced.D. It wasn't tested on a model concrete building.34. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “mechanism" in paragraph 3?A. Metal. B. Building. C. System. D. Platform.35. What is the text mainly about?A. The principle of air-conditioning.B. The differences between active and passive cooling.C. A new building to maintain its inside temperature without electricity.D. A new coating to keep buildings cool without electricity.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。选项中有两项为多余 选项。What leads to success in school? 36 "Perseverance", for example, seems to be a bet ter predictor of success than IQ in school and beyond. Researchers have also demonstrated that having a "growth mindset" is associated with academic success, which happens when a person recognizes that abilities are not fixed, but developed through practice.Researchers are exploring other characters that might contribute to success. 37 Data was collected on happiness and grades from 435 students at St Andrew's, including elementa ry, middle and upper school students.38 Specifically, researchers found a statistically significant correlation （正相关）be tween happiness and students' grades from elementary schools through high schools. Students often reported that happiness, or positive feelings like enjoyment or fun, supported their schoolwork. 39 It has been found that a network of supportive relationships is at the heart of happiness. Results showed that the quality of students' relationships with teachers and peers predicted their happiness. Across all ages, students with positive relationships were more likely to be happy.Although voiced in different ways, time and again students of all ages emphasized that their relationships are fundamental to their happiness. These results suggest that there is an important relationship between happiness and academic achievement. More research is needed to explore the relationships among happiness, social networks, and achievement in a school setting. 40 , A. But what supports students to be happy?B. But are happier kids sure to get ahead academically?C. Recent research suggests success is partly driven by the character.D. In recent studies, they explored the relationship between happiness and marks.E. Psychology research showed a link between happiness and success in the workplace.F. The results revealed students who are reported to be happier had higher grades.G. By coincidence, the findings of this study are consistent with earlier ones in psychology. 第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分） 第一节（共20小题;每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最 佳选项。In my starting days of real-life practice, I took up a job in a direct sales firm as a door-to- door marketer.
