They provide a place for people to relax and play sports, as well as a shelter from the often severe environment of a city. What people often overlook is that parks also provide considerable environmental benefits.One benefit of parks is that plants absorb carbon dioxide and give off oxygen. According to one study, an acre of trees can absorb the same amount of carbon dioxide that a typical car emits in 11,000 miles of driving. Parks also make cities cooler. Scientists have long noted what is called the Urban Heat Island Effect: building materials such as metal and concrete (混凝土) absorb much more of the sun’s heat and release it much more quickly than trees and grass. Because city landscapes contain so much of these building materials, cities are usually warmer than surrounding rural areas. Parks and other green spaces help to lessen the Urban Heat Island Effect.Unfortunately, many cities cannot easily create more parks. However, cities could benefit from many of the positive effects of parks by encouraging citizens to create another type of green space: rooftop gardens. While most people would not think of starting a garden on their roof, human beings have been planting gardens on rooftops for thousands of years. Some rooftop gardens are simple container gardens that anyone can create with the investment (投资) of a few hundred dollars and a few hours of work.Rooftop gardens provide many of the same benefits as other urban parks and garden spaces, but without taking up the much-needed land. In the summer, rooftop gardens prevent buildings from absorbing heat from the sun, which can significantly reduce cooling bills. In the winter, gardens help control the heat that materials like brick and concrete release so quickly, leading to savings on heating bills. Rooftop vegetables and herb gardens can also provide fresh food for city settlers, making their diets healthier. Rooftop gardens are not only something everyone can enjoy but also a smart environmental investment.21.The underlined word “emits” in the second paragraph probably means _________.A. takes up        B. gives out        C. carries away       D. breathes in22.Which of the following contributes to the Urban Heat Island Effect?A. More rooftop gardens.      B. More trees and grass.C. More parking lots.             D. More building materials.23.When it comes to rooftop gardens, what can be inferred from the passage?A. They make people much happier.B. They provide more benefits from urban parks.C. They help to save money and keep a healthy diet.D. They have become very popular in recent years.24.What’s the author’s attitude towards rooftop gardens?A. Supportive.    B. Doubtful.C. Critical.    D. Objective.BThe Terracotta Army Museum is one of the must-visit attractions for all travelers to China. The attraction is located in Xi’an, in west China's Shanxi Province.What’s special?The terracotta Army is the buried army of Qin Shi Huang, an ancient Chinese emperor. These ancient sculptures were built and buried over two thousand years ago near the city of Xi'an. They were discovered in 1974 by farmers digging a well looking for underground water. Over a thousand terracotta warriors and horses have been uncovered since then. Each warrior is made of clay (泥土). They are around two meters tall. The sculptures are so detailed that it is possible to guess the age, rank and personality of each one. None of the soldiers are the same.The best time to visitThe Terracotta Army is an indoor attraction, which is not likely to be affected by weather, so it can be visited all year round.As the Terracotta Army Museum is one of the must-visit attractions in China, it is crowded most of the time. We advise our customers to avoid the following periods when the museum is particularly crowded:National Day holiday(October 1-7), when it is fully packed.Labour Day holiday(May 1-3)Weather in winter is dry, cold and the least comfortable, and it's also the worst season for air quality, but it's also low season.Travel style: private, group or independent?A private tour means a lot of flexibility and you will be well taken care of by a private guide and driver. The museum is crowded most of the time, but our guides know how to escape the crowds, and help our customers to enjoy more in the museum. See our 3-Day Terracotta Warriors Private Tour.Going with a group you won't get lost, but i lacks flexibility and personal service.Travelling on your own you may meet a lot of trouble, such as wasting time on finding a taxi or public bus to the attraction, lining up for tickets, reading maps, making sense of Chinese signs, etc.25.The Terracotta Army ________.A. was discovered by farmers when doing farm workB. is a great underground army buried 1000 years agoC. was made of clay with clearly recognized characteristicsD. has all been unearthed since its discovery in 197426.Which is the least crowded season to visit the Terracotta Army?A. All the year round.                    B. Clear winter days.C. Labour Day holiday.                 D. National Day Holiday.27.If you want to travel freely with least trouble, you should choose ________.A. a family tour                                   B. a tourist groupC. travel on your own                          D. a private tourCFrom the first days of nursery school to the first days of college, parents and children are faced with feelings brought about by separation. Children of all ages may experience some anxiety about managing on their own. Young children are still struggling to control their impulses (冲动) and may need a parent’s presence to feel secure. Older children leaving home may experience their own anxiety about managing on their own due to homesickness.Children’s protests (抗议) about parents leaving them in a new situation often take the form of crying, which causes parents’ considerable concern. Generally, children’s protesting behavior around separation gets the most attention. At times, a different point of view may arise between parents and teachers about the best way to handle the situation. Teachers may think a child will be fine if the parent just leaves, while a parent may see the child as needing her presence. These roles are sometimes interchanged.Although it is the apparent upsets that get the most attention, when observing pre-school groups one can see the various ways children deal with the feelings aroused by separation. Some children deal with the situation by removing themselves from the group. In a recent observation, a little girl removed herself from the activity but continued to watch carefully everything that was going on.In another group, a more obvious separation scene took place. The mother seemed clearly prepared to stay while the boy joined the group on his own. He seemed most competent until his mother suddenly decided to leave. At that point the child broke down completely, crying pitifully - different from the formerly competent boy.In situations like this one, mothers always wonder why their own child is not able to master separating from them as other children do. But the real point here is that separation is a developmental step which children deal with in different ways. When children don’t openly cry and protest, it doesn’t mean they are not struggling to master the same feelings, each in his or her own way. It just means they express their feelings in a different way.28.How will children feel when they are separated from their parents?A. They will feel upset about relying on themselves.B. They will feel excited about managing their own business.C. They will feel hatred for being left alone.D. They will feel scared of being abandoned.29.As to the best way to deal with separation,       .A. parents and teachers always disagree with each otherB. some parents argue that there is no solution to the problemC. parents sometimes think that they can be absentD. some teachers misunderstand parents’ behaviors30.The author uses the observation of pre-school groups to       .A. compare different ways children deal with the feelingsB. present how children handle the feelings differentlyC. criticize the cruelty of separationD. show the harmful effect of separation31.Which of the following does the author probably agree with?A. How children express their feelings varies from person to person.B. How to deal with separation remains to be discussed.C. Separation will cause children to suffer a lot.D. Separation will give rise to a similar reaction.DWhat if the car waiting patiently behind a parked bus is a driverless or autonomous vehicle(AV)? Will this robot car be able to understand what you mean when you flash your lights or madly wave your hands? Its sensors could decides that it’s only safe to overtake when there’ no oncoming traffic at all. On a busy road at school home time, this may be never leading to increasingly angry passengers and increasingly angry driers queuing behind.And how will a robot car driving out from a T-junction into oncoming traffic be able to make the necessary eye contact with a human driver? These safety-first robot cars could become victims of their own politeness and end up being bullied and ignored by aggressive, impatient humans. This, at any rate, is one of the conclusions to be drawn from research carried out by Dr Chris Tennant of the psychological and behavioral science department at the London School of Economics. His Europe-wide survey finds that nearly two-thirds of drivers think machines won’t have enough common sense to interact with human drivers. And more than two-fifths think a robot car would remain stuck behind our parked lorry for a long time.“If you view the road as a social space, you will consciously negotiate your journey with other drivers. People who like that negotiation process appear to feel less comfortable engaging with AVs than with human drivers,” says Mr. Tennant in his report. Of course, humans are always skeptical about new technologies of which they have little experience. That skepticism usually decreases with usage, however. And even many skeptics accept that emotionless AVs could cause fewer accidents than we humans, with our tendency to road anger, tiredness and lack of concentration. A statistic often repeated is that human error is responsible for more than 90% of accidents. But 70% of the 12,000 people Mr. Tennant and his team interviewed agreed that: “ As a point of principle, humans should be in control of their vehicles.” An even greater proportion-80%-thought an autonomous vehicle should always have a steering wheel.32.According to the text, an autonomous vehicle______.A. is controlled by a robot    B. waits shorter than other carsC. judges traffic by drivers online    D. recognizes angry human drivers33.Dr. Chris Tennant found in his study that autonomous vehicles_______.A. won’t interact with human driversB. avoid passing T-junctions ahead of timeC. drive in the same ways as a human driverD. may suffer from impatient human drivers34.What can we infer from the text?A. Autonomous vehicles will be less socialB. Autonomous vehicles are safer than generally expectedC. Human drivers have been replaced by autonomous vehiclesD. Human drivers are willing to interact with autonomous vehicles35.What is the best title for the text?A. An autonomous car takes a test runB. What is driverless technology like?C. Say no to the coming driverless trendD. Would you bully a driverless car or show it respect?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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。US City Bans Texting while WalkingParents usually teach their children how to cross the street safely, by looking both ways for cars. But do they also teach them to put away their cell phones?The city of Honolulu, Hawaii wants everyone to learn that lesson.36.Beginning on October 24, you could be fined from $15 to $99 if you step into a Honolulu street while looking at your phone. Honolulu is the first major U. S. city to ban what is called "distracted (分散注意) walking. " It recently passed a law in a seven to two vote. The law says; “No pedestrian shall cross a street or highway while viewing a mobile electronic device. "37.The law's creators hope it will lower the number of people hit and killed by cars in the city. Mayor Kirk Caldwell told Reuters news agency, "We hold the unfortunate distinction (区别) of being a major city with more pedestrians being hit in crosswalks, particularly our elders, than almost any other city in the country. "The law includes all electronic devices with screens: cell phones, tables, gaming devices, digital cameras and laptop computers.38.Pedestrians may use such devices in the street to call emergency services and rescue workers, such as firefighters and police officers.39.The Governors Highway Safety Association, or GHSA, says pedestrian deaths in the United States increase 25 percent between 2010 and 2015. That trend continued in 2016 with the number of pedestrian deaths rising to almost 6000, 11% higher than in 2015.If you still want to text while walking, you could avoid being fined in Honolulu (and be safer, in general) by using a voice-controlled digital(数字的) assistant such as Siri or Google Assistant.40.A. The law does permit an exception.B. Or you could just wait until you are again, safely, off the street.C. You will be sentenced to prison while using cell phones in the street.D. Pedestrian deaths have been increasing as the use of cell phones rises.E. Texting while crossing the street will soon be banned in the city.F. The law permits people to watch TV while crossing the street.G. In other words, do not look at a screen when you cross the street or you could be fined.第三部分  英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1．5分，满分30分）The town of Pressure and the town of Pleasure were neighbors but they had ___41___ in common.

At first, my grandpa seemed to be happy. And as time went by, he became uneasy, because he was not used to leading so a comfortable life. Therefore, my parents encouraged him to attend some activity in our community. They also encouraged her to go to a drawing class in a school for the old, which gave my grandpa a great sense of achievement. He becomes very happy again.My parents set a good example to me.
