What does the underlined word “bar red” most probably mean?A. Encouraged.B. Banned.C. Chosen.D. Forgiven.25. Why are the five online shops invested by public security bureaus?A. Because they might avoid further investigation.B. Because they might have no licenses to sell medical articles.C. Because they might make or purchase surgical masks illegally.D. Because they might sell surgical masks on other e-commerce platforms.26. What does Alibaba expose the names of those shops and their punishments for?A.

Researchers analyzed 70,716 birds from 52 kinds of North American migratory(迁徙的) bird species collected over 40 years. The authors say the study is the largest of its kind and that the findings are important to understanding how animals will adapt to climate change.“We found almost all of the species were getting smaller,” said lead author Brian Weeks, an assistant professor at the University of Michigan.“The species were pretty diverse, but responding in a similar way,” he said. “The consistency was shocking.”He said studies of animal responses to climate change often focus on shifts in geographical range or timing of life events, like migration and birth. But this study suggests body morphology (形态) is a crucial third aspect.“That’s one major implication,” he said. “It’s hard to understand how birds will adapt without taking all three of these things into consideration.”The findings showed that from 1978 to 2016, the length of the birds’ lower leg bone shortened by 2.4%. Over the same time, the wings lengthened by 1.3%.The evidence suggests warming temperatures caused the decrease in body size, which in turn caused the increase in wing length.“Migration is an incredibly taxing thing they do,” Mr. Weeks said, explaining that the smaller body size means less energy available for the birds to complete their long journeys.He says the birds most likely to survive migration were the ones with longer wingspans and smaller bodies.The scientists aren’t exactly sure why warmer temperatures cause birds to shrink. One theory is that smaller animals are better at cooling off, losing body heat more quickly.28. What’s the best title for the te xt?A. All of the Birds Are Getting Smaller6B. Animals Are Adapting to Climate ChangeC. Climate Change Is Causing Birds to ShrinkD. Scientists Are Finding Causes of Warm Climate29. What made Brian Weeks feel astonished?A. It took 40 years to collect 70,716 birds from North America.B. Many birds are shrinking when responding to the climate change.C. All migratory bird species were collected to do the important research.D. So many researchers take part in the largest study to work out the findings.30. What does the underlined word “taxing” most probably mean?A. Tiring.B. Important.C. Easy.D. Pleasant.31.What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. The migratory birds aren’t big.B. The temperatures will be higher.C. The scientists will go on further study.D. The smaller animals will surely live longer.DThe fact that over 1.24 million people lose their lives each year in road accidents is a horrifying statistic that could soon be prevented. It should be of no surprise to understand that the autonomous vehicle industry is predicted to be worth $2.6 trillion a year within 15 years.What’s the future of personal transportation? Well, you’ll likely be spending a lot less time behind the wheel, for one. The rise of self-driving cars means that some scenes out of science-fiction flicks(电影) (think Total Recall or I, Robot) are now reality — and even more will be available soon.Cars today already include many semi-autonomous features, like assisted parking and self-braking systems. And completely autonomous vehicles —able to operate without human control —are rapidly becoming more of a reality. You’re probably familiar with Google’s version, which has made headlines with its Google Chauffeur software, which the company hopes to bring to market by 2020.The pros of autonomous cars are many. “The sensors in a self-driving car are always observing, are not affected by the state of the driver (sleepy, angry, etc.), and can scan in multiple directions simultaneously(同时地),” says Dr. Dominique Freckmann, an automotive engineering manager at TE Connectivity, “Autonomous driving is a key aspect of the industry’s drive toward safer roadways.”“Recent NHTSA research shows that approximately 94 percent of accidents are caused by7human error,” adds Alan Amici, a vice president of automotive engineering at TE. “Cars with advanced safety features and eventually, self-driving cars, can significantly reduce the number of collisions. The impact of this innovation can be far-reaching, including reduced demand on emergency response systems and reduced auto insurance and hea lth care costs.”32. What is the author’s attitude towards the autonomous vehicle industry?A. Positive.B. Disapproving.C. Uncaring.D. Doubtful.33. Why is Google Chauffeur software given as an example here ?A. Because people believe Google will sell it in 2020.B. Because it is the most famous software of the company.C. Because people are all familiar with the famous software.D. Because it shows completely autonomous vehicles will be true.34. Which is the main reason why Alan Amici favors self-driving?A. Self-driving will cost less than now.B. People will easily save a lot of time.C. Self-driving will be safer than now.D. People will rely more on auto insurance.35. What is the author’s purpose of writing the text?A. To show his adoration of self-driving cars.B. To predict the future of personal transportation.C. To prevent so many road accidents caused by driving.D. To introduce the benefits of autonomous vehicle industry.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。
