It was a scene that had been repeated many times in the theater’s 75-year history. This time, however, the cleanup was a little different. As one group of workers carried out the rubbish, another group began removing seats and other theater equipment in preparation for the building’s end.The film classic The Last Picture Show was the last movie shown in the old theater. Though the movie is 30 years old, most of the 250 seats were filled with teary-eyed audience wanting to say good-bye to the old building. Theater owner Ed Bradford said he chose the movie because it seemed appropriate. The movie is set in a small town where the only movie theater is preparing to close down.Bradford said that large modern theaters in the city made it impossible for the Plaza to compete. He added that the theater’s location(位置) was also a reason. “This used to be the center of town,” he said. “Now the area is mostly office buildings and warehouses.”Last week some city officials suggested the city might be interested in turning the old theater into a museum and public meeting place. However, these plans were abandoned because of financial problems. Bradford sold the building and land to a local development firm, which plans to build a shopping complex on the land where the theater is located.The theater audience said good-by as Bradford locked the doors for the last time. After 75 years the Plaza Theater has shown its last movie. The theater will be missed.24.In what way was yesterday’s cleanup at the Plaza special?A.It made room for new equipment.B.It signaled the closedown of the theater.C.It was done with the help of the audience.D.It marked the 75th anniversary of the theater.25.Why was The Last Picture Show put on?A.It was an all-time classic.B.It was about the history of the town.C.The audience requested it.D.The theater owner found it suitable.26. What will probably happen to the building?A.It will be repaired.B.It will be turned into a museum.C.It will be knocked down.D.It will be sold to the city government.27. What can we infer about the audience?A. They are disappointed with Bradford.B. They are sad to part with the old theater.C. They are supportive of the city officials.D. They are eager to have a shopping center.CAfter years of heated debate, gray wolves were reintroduced to Yellowstone National Park. Fourteen wolves were caught in Canada and transported to the park. By last year, the Yellowstone wolf population had grown to more than 170 wolves.Gray wolves once were seen here and there in the Yellowstone area and much of the continental United States, but they were gradually displaced by human development. By the 1920s, wolves had practically disappeared from the Yellowstone area. They went farther north into the deep forests of Canada, where there were fewer humans around.The disappearance of the wolves had many unexpected results. Deer and elk populations — major food sources (来源) for the wolf – grew rapidly. These animals consumed large amounts of vegetation (植被), whichreduced plant diversity in the park. In the absence of wolves, coyote populations also grew quickly. The coyotes killed a large percentage of the park’ s red foxes, and completely drove away the park’ s beavers.As early as 1966,biologists asked the government to consider reintroducing wolves to Yellowstone Park.They hoped that wolves would be able to control the elk and coyote problems.Many farmers opposed the plan because they feared that wolves would kill their farm animals or pets.The government spent nearly 30 years coming up with a plan to reintroduce the wolves. The U.S.Fish and Wildlife Service carefully monitors and manages the wolf packs in Yellowstone.Today,the debate continues over how well the gray wolf is fitting in at Yellowstone.Elk,deer,and coyote populations are down,while beavers and red fores have made a comeback.The Yellowstone wolf project has been a valuable experiment to help biologists decide whether to reintroduce wolves to other parts of the country as well.28.What is the text mainly about?A.Wildlife research in the United States.B.Plant diversity in the Yellowstone area.C.The conflict between farmers and gray wolves.D.The reintroduction of wolves to Yellowstone Park.29.What does the underlined word “displaced” in paragraph 2 mean?A.Tested.B.Separated.C.Forced out.D.Tracked down.30.What did the disappearance of gray wolves bring about?A.Damage to local ecology.B.A decline in the park’s income.C.Preservation of vegetation.D.An increase in the variety of animals.31.What is the author’s attitude towards the Yellowstone wolf project?A.Doubtful.B.Positive.C.Disapproving.D.Uncaring.DThe Intelligent Transport team at Newcastle University have turned an electric car into a mobile laboratory named “DriveLAB” in order to understand the challenges faced by older drivers and to discover where the key stress points are.Research shows that giving up driving is one of the key reasons for a fall in health and well-being among older people, leading to them becoming more isolated(隔绝) and inactive.Led by Professor Phil Blythe, the Newcastle team are developing in-vehicle technologies for older drivers which they hope could help them to continue driving into later life.These include custom-made navigation(导航) tools, night vision systems and intelligent speed adaptations. Phil Blythe explains: “For many older people, particularly those living alone or in the country, driving is important for preserving their independence, giving them the freedom to get out and about without having to rely on others.”“But we all have to accept that as we get older our reactions slow down and this often results in people avoiding any potentially challenging driving conditions and losing confidence in their driving skills. The result is that people stop driving before they really need to.”Dr Amy Guo, the leading researcher on the older driver study, explains, “The DriveLAB is helping us to understand what the key points and difficulties are for older drivers and how we might use technology to address these problems.“For example, most of us would expect older drivers always go slower than everyone else but surprisingly, we found that in 30mph zones they struggled to keep at a constant speed and so were more likely to break the speed limit and be at risk of getting fined. We’re looking at the benefits of systems which control their speed as a way of preventing that.“We hope that our work will help with technological solutions(解决方案) to ensure that older drivers stay safer behind the wheel.”32.What is the purpose of the Drivel AB?A.To explore newmeans of transport.B.To design new types of cars.C.To find out older driver`s problems.D.To teach people traffic rules.33.Why is driving important for older people according to Phil Blythe?A.It keeps them independent.B.It helps them save time.C.It builds up their strength.D.It cures their mental illnesses.34.What do researchers hope to do for older drivers?A.Improve their driving skills.B.Develop driver-assist technologies.C.Provide tips on repairing their cars.anize regular physical checkups.35.What is the best title for the text?A.A new Model Electric CarB.A Solution to Traffic ProblemC.Driving Service for eldersD.Keeping Older Drivers on the Road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学&科&网最佳选项。

ATea and coffee are the two most universal beverages in the world. People believe tea, especially green tea, has a lot of benefits for the health. It’s said that it has an effect to resist cancer and protect the heart. However, good clinical studies are quite few. Although physicians often tell patients to drink green tea, there hasn’t been any dependable proof of the value of that advice.However, a team of Japanese researchers found drinking green tea can clearly decrease death rate. They followed 40,530 healthy adults aged 40 to 79 for up to 11 years in a region of northeastern Japan where most people drink green tea. They found the death rate of those who drank five or more cups of green tea a day is evidently lower than those who drank less than one cup a day, especially, in disease related with heart and blood vessels.But no such association was seen with deaths from cancer, nor between oolong or black tea and any decrease in death rate. Those teas are easier to be combined with oxygen in processing, which not only darkens the color of the leaves and changes their flavor but also reduces their beneficial content.Compared with tea, coffee is more controversial. It has received both gold stars andblack marks. It, too, contains a matter that is good for health. Evidence for the health benefits of coffee is increasing, however. A group of researchers report that coffee seems to protect against age-related decline in mental ability. They studied 676 healthy men born from 1900 to 1920 and followed them for 10 years, using scientific measures of brain function.Their conclusion shows the men consuming coffee had clearly less decline in mental ability than those who did n’t. Three cups a day seemed to provide the most protection.21.Physicians often tell patients to drink green tea because_______.A.its medical values has been provedB.it’s believed to be good for healthC.it has long been applied in clinicD.its effect has been shown in animals22.The Japanese study seems to have confirmed the positive effect of green tea on _______.A. people with mental disabilitiesB. patients with various cancersB. people with physical disabilities D. patients with heart disease23.The text indicates that black tea differs from green tea because _________.A.it can keep the color of its leavesB.it can reduce cancer-related deathsC.it contains less effective contentD.it is stronger in flavor than the latter24.Coffee is beneficial to one’s health because _______.A.it slows down the rate of brain agingB.it is more beneficial than green teaC.it lowers the rate of natural death rateD.it keeps system of the body activeBAs the rapid development of artificial intelligence(AI), there are growing concerns that robots could become a threat. This danger can be avoided, according to Stuart Russell, a computer science professor, if we figure out how to turn human values into a computer program.Russell argues that as robots take on more complicated(复杂的) tasks, it’s nec essary to have them act on human values. For example, if a robot does chores around the house, you wouldn’t want it to put the pet cat on the stove to make dinner for the hungry children. “To prevent the tragedy, you must have it programmed with a good set of values,” said Russell.At present, some robots are already programmed with basic human values. For example, mobile robots have been programmed to keep a comfortable distance from humans. Obviously there are cultural differences, but if you were talking to another person and he came up close in your personal space, you wouldn’t think that’s the kind of thing a properly brought-up person would do.It will be possible to create more human-friendly moral machines, if only we can find a way to set out human values as clear rules. This isn’t too difficult in technology if humans do resolve to have robots behave according to human moral criteria. After all robots have ability to learn values from drawing patterns from large sets of data on human behavior. They are dangerous only if programmers are careless.The biggest concern with robots going against human values is that human beings fail to do enough testing and they’ve produced a system that will break some kind of taboo(禁忌). Therefore, it’s necessary to have the robot go through a self-check program to make sure it will react by following human values when presented with an unusual situation.25.

One example comes from agriculture. Food shortage(短缺) and hunger make news. But no one has ever reported the trend of world grain production. This is the decline in the growth in production of some of the world’s major crops. A new study by the University of Minnesota and McGill University in Montreal looks at where, and how far, this decline is occurring.The authors take a vast number of data for the four most important crops: rice, wheat, corn and soyabean(大豆). It shows that between 24% and 39% of all the farming areas which contributed grain production growth before 1980s witnessed a decline in grain production growth in the 1990s and 2000s.There are two worrying points of the slowdown. One is that it has been particularly sharp in India and China, which have the largest population. They are able to feed themselves, which make the food markets relatively stable, both within the countries and on the world. However, their ability can not be taken for granted if their growth in production continues to slow down.Second, production growth has been lower in wheat and rice than in corn and soyabean.This is because wheat and rice are pure food grains, compared with which, corn and soyabean are also commercial. Their rate of deep processing is much higher than rice and wheat and the prediction of a higher income drives more farmers to turn to corn and soyabean production.The report also let out some optimistic findings which suggest that the world will not have to dig up a lot more land for farming in order to feed 9 billion people in 2050. This is in agreement with the argument of the Food and Agriculture Organization. Moreover, it says, thanks to the slowdown of population growth, land at present used for crops might be likely to be turned back to forest land.33.The underlined word most probably means ________.A. accelerationB. slowdownC. progressD. prosperityC. new headlines in the leading mediaD. the food supply in populous countries34.India and China are mentioned in particular just to show_______.A.their food production decreases sharply in recent yearsB.their self-feeding ability makes the food market stableC.their big populations are causing worldwide concernsD.their self-feeding ability has been taken for granted.35.What makes corn and soyabean enjoy a higher growth than rice and wheat?A.Food production isn’t as efficient as before th e 1980s.B.The food market isn’t as stable as two decades ago.C.Some big countries no longer produce enough grain.D.Farmers tend to grow what brings in a higher income.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选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
