Shopping centers，stadiums and universities may soon have a new tool to help fight crime.
ACaliforniacompany called Knightscope says its robots can predict and prevent crime. Knightscope says the
goal is to reduce crime by half in areas the robots guard.
William Santana Li is the chief executive officer of Knightscope. He says，"These robot security guards will
change the world. Our planet has more than seven billion people on it. It's going to quickly get to nine billion
people. The security equipmentthat we have globally is just not going to develop that fast. The company's
Autonomous Data Machines can become the eyes and ears of law enforcement（执法）."
"You want them to be machines plus humans. Let. the machines do the heavy and sometimes dangerous
work and let the humans do the strategic decision-making work，so it's always working all together."
The machines do not carry weapons but they have day and night video cameras which are able to turn 360
degrees and can also sense chemical and biological weapons.
Some people may become concerned about their privacy, especially in connection with the video recordings.
Some people may worry that such recordings will appear on the Internet. Eugene Volokh, a law professor at the
UCLA School of Law, says the machines have to be used in the right way and it will be interesting to see how state
laws deal with this kind of video.
William Santana Li says there is a long waiting list for the robots in theUS. Workers in the company are
working overtime to meet the demands of the market. At least 25 other countries are also interested in these
robot security guards.
1. What can this new tool do for humans?
A. Make strategic decisions.
B. Keep watching day and night.
C. Carry heavy weapons.
D. Stop crime autonomously.
2. Why are some people worried about the new robots?
A. Their privacy may be let out. B. The robots are very expensive.
C. Robots will replace humans.
D. They will be out of work soon.
3. Which of the following can be the best title of the text?
A. Robots Are Becoming More Popular
B. Robots Contribute aLotto the World
C. Robots Are in Great Demand Now
D. Security Robots Could Help Cut Crime
B
Technology is supposed to make our lives easier, allowing us todo things more quickly and efficiently. But too often
it seems to make things harder. This increase in complexity, often called "feature creep," costs consumers time,
but it also costs business money. Product returns in the U.S. cost a hundred billion dollars a year, and a recent
study by Elke den Ouden, of Philips Electronics, found that at least half of returned products have nothing wrong
with them. Consumers just couldn't figure out how to use them. Companies now know a great deal about
problems of usability and consumer behavior, so why is it that feature creep proves unstoppable?
In part, fieature creep is the product of the so-called internal-audience problem: the people who design and sell
product are not the ones who buy and use them, and what engineers and marketers think is important is not
necessarily what's best for consumers. The engineers tend not to notice when more options make a product less
usable. And marketing and sales departments see each additional feature as a new selling point, and anew way to
attract customers.
You might think, then, that companies could avoid fieature creep by just paying attention to what customers really
want. But that's where the trouble begins, because although consumers find overloaded gadgets（配件）unmanageable,they also find them attractive. It turns out that when we look at a new product in a store we tend
to think that the more features there are, the better. It is only once we get the product home and try to use it that
we realize the virtues of simplicity.
It seems strange that we don't expect feature tiredness and thus avoid it. But, as numerous studies have shown,
people are not, in general, good at predicting what will make them happy in the future. As a result, we will pay
more for more features because we systematically overestimate how often we'll use them. We also overestimate
our ability to figure out how a complicated product works.
The fact that buyers want bells and whistles but users want something clear and simple creates an unusual problem for companies. A product that doesn't have enough features may fail to catch our eye in the store. But a
product with too many features is likely to annoy consumers.
4. What does the first paragraph mainly discuss?
A. The benefits brought by the advanced technology.

江苏省南京市泰州市2020届高三第四次联合模拟英语试题答案解析
2020届南京联考解析
01单项选择
答案：21-25 CDCAB 26-30 DBABD 31-35 DADAC
单选主要考察词义辨析：动词、名词、形容词、介词短语、动词短语都有涉及，熟词僻义频繁出现，考察学生的词汇量和基本功。结合当前时事，考察学生对社会生活的关注程度。总体难度不高。
详细解析：
第21题 C 考察名词词义辨析+固定搭配，根据句意：“这位歌手在2013年被录取，2018年毕业时未能获取毕业证书，因为他没能达到要求”meet the requirement/satisfaction“达到要求”为固定搭配，故选C。
第22题 D 考察介词短语，根据句意：“我花了一些时间回复他的敲门”，根据his ring提示这里用in response to“回复，应答”，故选D。其他选项on account of“由于”，in view of“鉴于”，with regard to“至于”都不合适。
第23题 C 考察动词词义辨析+熟词僻义，根据句意：“外国领导都想知道中国政府是怎么又好又快地控制疾病的传播”，根据the spread of virus提示contain“遏制”合适，考察contain的熟词僻义，故选C。其他选项 defend“防御”，accelerate“加速”，assure“保证”放在 “疾病传播”前都不通。
第24题 A 考察动词短语，根据句意：“看喜剧或读笑话都能驱散你的负面情感并且让你觉得好受些”可知drive away“驱散”最合适，故选A。其它选项 give out“散发”，put away“把…收起来”，put out“扑灭”都不合适。
第25题 B 考察倍数的表达，根据句意：“他以买入时两倍的价格卖掉了他的房子，所以他从这笔买卖中大获好处”，twice后缺the price，空格后的从句he paid也缺some price，前缺后缺用what，故选B。
第26题 D 考察动词词义辨析+熟词僻义，根据句意：“有时候不去反击那些传闻更加明智，因为他们终将会随着时间的推移消散”提示counter的熟词僻义“反击，对抗”最合适，故选D。其他选项share“分析”，start“开始”，circulate“传播”都和句中“他们终将会随着时间的推移消散”想表达的意思不符。

The Orchard
I had a very nice meal at the Orchard restaurant．The food was lovely and the service was quite good．We
chose to eat in the garden which was full of beautiful flowers and very relaxing．The only disappointment was the

体裁：说明文
话题：本文主要讲解了一个短语“face the music”的含义以及它在什么样的情景下使用。
阅读策略：全文细节阅读。
入选理由：说明文中较简单的一种，词义猜测贯穿全文。
When someone says, “Well, I guess I'll have to face the music”, it doesn't
mean that he is planning to go to hear a singer or attend a concert. It is
something far less unhappy than you are called in by your leader to explain
why you did this and that or why you did not do this or that.
At some time or another, every one of us has to “face the music”, especially as children. We can all remember fathers angry words “I want to talk to
you”. And only because we did not listen to him. What a bad thing it was!
In the middle or at the end of every term, we students have to “face the
music”. The result of the exam will decide whether we will face the music
or not. If...that means parents’ cold faces and contempt (轻视) of the

Best Places to Visit in July

Most travelers prefer to visit Norway's famous fjords (峡湾) in July because Norway has about 23 hours of
daylight, giving travelers lots of time to take in the spectacular views of blue water, glaciers and mountains. July is
