Four Places to Go in Bogota
Wilborada 1047 Bookstore
Since opening in 2013, this homey bookstore with floor-to-ceiling shelves has become a beloved neighborhood meeting spot. Set inside a three-story building with a wooden staircase on which you can read, it’s the kind of place that makes you want to stay. The bookstore has a full schedule of author readings, lectures and other literary events.
Las Heroinas
This shop is owned by four sisters—one of whom also runs the attached La Manola ceramic studio. The shop, which opened in 2015, carries high-quality, made-in-Colombia products such as geometric vases, pendant lamps and dishware, plus furnishings like colorful embroidered(绣花的) chairs.
Nueve
Set inside an old house, this restaurant opened in 2009 and serves a variety of small plates that put innovative(革新的) twists on local ingredients—all listed on a cloth menu that doubles as a napkin. Many of the dishes are inspired by the chef’s travels abroad. There are two dining areas, both of which provide views of the open kitchen. There’s also a speakeasy-style bar, perfect for a pre-or post-dianer cocktail.
Abasto
Ever since this cafe opened in 2014, there’s been no need to wait in line for breakfast at the original in location in the historic neighborhood of Usaquen. The coffee comes from the Colombian countryside; the bread is baked in-house daily; and the arepa options are plenty, stuffed with fillings like eggs, cheese and meat. Don’t miss the cake, honey and jam.

When Malaika Vaz was a kid, living in Goa, India, she was constantly surrounded by nature. Among her childhood experiences, she recalls journeys to the Arctic and Antarctic, climbing mountains, diving, and windsurfing.
At some point in her late teens, Vaz realized adventure didn’t really mean anything if there wasn’t an intention to protect the natural spaces we were exploring in. Motivated by her passion for filmmaking, she began to seek a way that would both satisfy her appetite for adventure and allow her to advocate the protection of the species and ecosystems she interacted with.
Today Vaz wears many hats in the filmmaking world, as a documentary director, producer, and presenter. After falling in love with manta rays (蝠鲼), she discovered they were being hunted illegally and started to dress herself as a seafood trader to get as close as possible to the issue. She traced sellers to figure out why the threatened species were being killed. She shared the shocking details in Peng Yu Sai, her Green Oscar-nominated film on the matter.
The subjects that grab her attention, Vaz admits, run the gamut. When she was asked to define her focus, she replied that she preferred variety. She always argues that the issues she looks into are more interrelated than they may initially appear. “I think that it’s exciting to dive into the different aspects of environmental stories,” she says.
Her work doesn’t stop at recording important stories; she also ensures the message is heard. From Vaz’s viewpoint, real improvement in planetary protection lies in the hands of each of us rather than just those of several environmentalists. “If you’re an engineer and you care about the natural world, you can change the kind of construction materials you use. If you’re a teacher loving nature, you can bring that into the learning for your class.” she says.
As a filmmaker, Vaz believes it’s important to figure out ways that attract the audience who can push for the protection of the natural world.
4、What did Malaika Vaz decide to do in her late teens?
A. Motivate children to get close to nature.
B. Make a film about her childhood experiences.
C. Develop a passion for an adventurous lifestyle.
D. Combine nature exploration with nature conservation.
5、What is the film Peng Yu Sai mainly about?
A. The role of manta rays in the local economy.
B. Vaz’s personal life as a seafood trader.
C. The threatened species in India.
D. The illegal trade in manta rays.
6、What does the underlined part “run the gamut” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Are quite popular. B. Cover a wide range.
C. Make little progress. D. Are hard to deal with.
7、What message does the author convey in Paragraph 5?
A. Human beings are closely linked to nature.
B. Stories are effective in changing people’s behavior.
C. Everyone can make a difference to the environment.
D. Environmentalists play a big part in solving environmental issues.
A robot may be defined as a machine that can be programmed to perform acts automatically. With the increase in high technology, robots are taking over boring or inconvenient work in many areas of life.
One area where robots are making an appearance is farming. There is a robotic revolution going on in the milking industry, and cows, as well as farmers are experiencing the benefits. The advantage for the cows is that they can choose when and how many times a day they want to be milked. On the other hand, farmers no longer have to get up at 4 am every day to go to the milking sheds and this makes a huge difference to their way of life.
In traditional farming, cows are milked twice a day, in the morning and the evening, mainly because: this is the most convenient way for farmers to get two milking sessions completed in one day. However, this is not necessarily the best way for each individual cow. Because the robots are programmed to milk the cows whenever they arrive, the cows can be milked once, twice or even four times a day. It is an entirely voluntary system for the cows. They decide.
Farmers report that midnight is a particularly busy time at the milking shed. The interesting thing is the cows like the system once they get used to it. Farmers report that milk production increases, the cows live longer and they seem far more relaxed.
The computerized robotic system is entirely automatic. As the cows enter the facility, they are weighed, milked and productivity and health checks are carried out. The facility cleans itself at regular intervals(间隔)and if there is a problem, the robot sends the farmer a message.
Equipping a farm with robots is not cheap. However, farmers who have installed the robotic milking sheds, say they would never go back to the old system. The commonly reported sight of cows queuing patiently in front of their favourite robot must mean the cows like it too.
8、What is the purpose of the first paragraph?
A. To talk about a kind of robot. B. To tell the importance of robots.
C. To introduce the applications of robots. D. To provide the definition of robotic system.
9、What benefit may robots bring to the cows according to the text?
A. They can be freer to be milked. B. They can be milked twice a day.
C. They can choose the day to be milked. D. They can get up at 4 am to be milked.
10、Which of the following would the author probably agree?
A. The robotic system is entirely automatic except for health checks.
B. The robotic system is so expensive that farmers will never install one.
C. The robotic system is voluntary for cows to be milked of their own free will.
D. Morning and evening are the two most convenient milking sessions for cows.
11、What would be the best title for the text?
A. A robotic revolution in milking B. Cows favourite helper
C. Hands free for the farmers D. An expensive milking shed
From train tickets to doctor’s appointments, there’s a growing expectation that consumers should include technology in everyday life. We take it for granted that technology brings us closer and improve our access to essential products and services. But people who can’t or don’t want to engage with the latest technology are being left behind.
Technology should not be allowed to drive people to the side of their own lives, as many facts suggest is increasingly the case. For example, there have been reports that some elderly people no longer drive to their local park, because they cannot download the parking app required. Evidently, age is one big predictor of digital exclusion (排斥). Only 47% of those aged 75 and over use the Internet regularly. Out of the four million who have never used the Internet in the UK, only 300,000 people are under 55. But older people aren’t the only ones feeling shut out.
Concerns about privacy can stop people using technology as well. A survey into consumers’ trust in business showed no industry reached a trust rating of 50% for data protection. Some people view “forced” digitalization as a symbol of consumer culture and limit their contact with it; also, many people take a “less is more” approach to technology simply because they feel it offers a more meaningful existence. They all belong to a population group that often slips people’s mind in related discussions. No one could discount, however, one factor－poverty. Some regions, particularly rural ones, even struggle for phone signals. The UK phone network’s plans for a digital switchover could cut off people who rely on their landlines.
The solution is not simply to give devices to those without smart technology. While there’s a need to provide affordable Internet access and technology, we need to recognize diversity in society. Services should provide non-digital selections that reflect equality. Local councils, healthcare providers and businesses should understand more about the diversity of consumers and develop services that meet the needs of all people. After all, access to and inclusion in society is a human right.
12、Why is the example of the elderly mentioned in Paragraph 2?
A. To provide a proof. B. To introduce a concept.
C. To make a comparison. D. To confirm a prediction.
13、According to the passage, which of the following factors CAN’T account for digital exclusion?
A. Age. B. Privacy. C. Gender. D. Attitude.
14、What does the author suggest in the last paragraph?
A. Inquiring opinions from diverse consumers.
B. Slowing the pace of the technological shift.
C. Offering services with online and offline options.
D. Bettering access to the Internet and technology.
15、Which can be the best title for the text?
A. Life sees two-edged effect from digitalization
B. Technology is excluding a significant minority
C. Social barriers result from technological shifts
D. Digital divide is becoming increasingly serious
二、七选五
16、Tears can ruin make-up, bring conversation to a stop, and give you a runny nose. ①_______ However, crying is a fact of life, and tears are very useful. Even when you’re not crying, your eyes produce tears. These create a film (薄膜) over the eye’s surface. This film contains a substance that protects your eyes against infection.
Tears reduce stress, but we tend to fight them for all sorts of reasons. “②_______ They’re afraid that once they lose control, they’ll never get it back,” explains psychologist Dorothy Rowe.
Almost any emotion—good or bad, happy or sad—can cause tears. ③_______ Tears help you when you feel you are ready to explode because of very strong feelings. It may explain why people who are afraid to cry often suffer more heart attacks than people who cry more freely.
When some people become very stressed, however, they can’t cry. They may be feeling shock, anger, fear or grief, but they control the emotion. “Everyone has the need to cry,” says psychotherapist (精神治疗医师) Vera Diamond. ④_______ They practice crying so that they can get used to expressing emotion.
⑤_______ It’s good to hold back tears during a tense business discussion. “But once you are safely behind closed doors, don’t just cry,” Diamond says. She suggests that you act out the whole situation again and be as noisy and angry as you like. It will help you feel better. “And,” she adds, “once your tears have released the stress, you can begin to think of logical ways to deal with the problem.”
Tears are a sign of our ability to feel. You should never be afraid to cry.
A. People worry about showing their emotions.
B. The more you cry, the healthier you will become.
C. Crying is a way that we release built-up emotions.
D. Sometimes patients participate in crying exercises.
E. They can leave you embarrassed and without energy.
F. In certain situation, such as at work, tears are not appropriate.
G. Many people get uncomfortable when others cry in front of them.

Max loved action comics and movies. He worked in the car park of a big supermarket. It didn’t seem to be a good job, but Max didn’t have any qualifications. This was the best job he could find. Max collected the shopping carts (购物车) that shoppers left in the car park. He took the shopping carts back to the entrance of the supermarket. It was sometimes hard work but it was not difficult. So Max had a lot of spare time to dream. He dreamed of being a hero, like Superman or Batman. Of course, his dreams were crazy but as Max told himself, dreams were free of charge.
Today it was very wet and windy. Max was wearing a long blue raincoat that had the name of the supermarket on the back. Max was standing next to a row of carts. He would push them together and then he would take them all back to the supermarket door. He looked around to see if there were any more left in the car park. Though there were designated (指定的) places for shoppers to leave the carts after shopping, some people were still so lazy that they just left them where they thought it was convenient for them. Just then Max saw two young boys in jackets wandering around aimlessly.
“They seem like students. They should be in school,” Max thought, “What are they doing here?” He then saw a small lady pushing a cart towards her car. The cart was full of shopping bags. She looked old and the weather was very bad. “I’ll go and take her cart for her,” Max said to himself.
Max started walking across the car park. The lady put her cart behind her car. She walked to her car door to unlock it when the two boys ran towards the cart. They immediately took the cart and quickly pushed it towards the road. The lady was terribly shocked and began to cry out.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150 左右；

It is an entirely voluntary system for the cows.(由于机器人经过编程，只要它们到达，就会给奶牛挤奶，因此每天可以给奶牛挤奶一次、两次甚至四次。对奶牛来说，这是一个完全自愿的制度)”可推知，作者可能会同意机器人系统是自愿的，奶牛可以根据自己的意愿挤奶。故选C项。
11、答案：A
解析：主旨大意题。根据第二段中“One area where robots are making an appearance is farming.

34、答案：
“Hey, you! What are you doing?” shouted Max. As fast as he could, Max ran towards the boys. Hearing his shouts, the frightened boys ran even faster. “Stop! Stop!” Max shouted as he kept running. The boys ran to the corner. There was a bus coming. They had to stop. They turned around and saw Max, whose long coat was blowing in the wind. He looked more like a Batman, or a Superman. The boys were so scared that they left the cart and quickly disappeared into the crowd.
Max grasped the shopping cart and pushed it back to the car park of the supermarket. The little old lady was still waiting anxiously outside her car. The store manager had come. It was quite clear that the lady had been deeply frightened. The manager was trying to comfort her. Max walked up to her and said regrettably, “I couldn’t catch the bad boys, but here is your shopping.” “Oh, thank you!” the lady said. “You are a hero.” Max’s face turned red. Though he didn’t think of himself as a hero, he really felt proud of himself.
