Which of the following bookings may receive the most benefits?A. B.C. D.23. This passage is probably taken from a(an)_____________A. textbookB. instructionC. posterD. reportBMore than 10 million Chinese cultural relics have been lost overseas, lost of which were stolen and illegally shipped out of China during the times of war before 1949. About 1.67million pieces are housed in more than 200 museums in 47 countries, which accounts for 10 percent of all lost Chinese cultural relics, and the rest are in the hands of private collectors.Most of these treasures are owned by museums or private collectors in the United States, Europe, Japan and Southeast Asian countries. There are more than 23, 000 pieces in the British Museum, most of which were stolen or bought for pennies more than 100 years ago.The major method to recover these national treasures was to buy them back. In some cases, private collectors donated the relics to the government. Also the government can turn to official channels to demand the return of relics.In 2003, a priceless bronze pig's head dating from the Qing Dynasty was returned to its home in Beijing after it was removed by the Anglo-French Allied Army over 140 years ago. Macao entrepreneur (企业家) Stanley Ho donated 6 million yuan to buy it back from a US art collector and then donated it to the Poly Art Museum in Beijing.Although buying-back is the most feasible way to recover the lost treasures, limited funding is always a big headache.In recent years, the Chinese government has improved efforts to recover theprecious cultural relics lost overseas. It has started a national project on the recovery ofthe treasures and has set up a database(数据库) collecting relevant information. It hassigned several international agreements with many countries on this matter, and is alsolooking for international cooperation to recover the relics by working closely with several international organizations.24. What is the passage mainly about?A. The ways to recover cultural relicsB. The efforts to recover Chinese cultural relicsC. Stanley Ho donated a bronze pig's head to Beijing.D. Chinese cultural relics were stolen by the Anglo-French Allied Army.25. We can infer from the passage that _________.A. China has enough money to buy all the cultural relics back.B. the Chinese government has done a lot to recover the lost cultural relicsC. many countries have returned the lost cultural relics to China for freeD. China is to set up a database to collect information about the lost cultural relics26. Which of the following statements about the bronze pigs head is NOT true?A. It was made in the Qing Dynasty.B. It is now in the Poly Art Museum in BeijingC. It was donated by the French government to China.D. It was removed by the Anglo-French Allied Army over 140 years ago27. The underlined word "feasible" in Paragraph 5 can be replaced by “_______”.A. possibleB. difficultC. wonderfulD. carefulCIndia's highest court banned selling firecrackers during Diwali(迪瓦利节), causing a serious conflict because some saw the ban as an attack specifically on Hinduism's(婆罗门教) biggest festival. Others, however, were hopeful that the ban would lessen air pollution levels.It was meant as a way to deal with air pollution - but it ended up as the topic of a heated online debate about religion. On Twitter, different people began spreading in response, and had nearly seven thousand tweets on both sides of the debate.For Sanjay Dixit, a secretary to the government in Jaipur, India, the ban is "an avoidable overreach." "Are we going to learn culture from time-honored practices, or be taught by the courts?" Dixit said. "With Indians, education with loud crackers would have worked better." On Twitter, many users even linked the ban on Diwali firecrackers to banning Christmas trees on Christmas. Voices across the religious circle have spoken out against the ban, saying it does not properly talk about any environmental concerns.However, for those living with respiratory(呼吸道的) conditions or households with young children, the ban on fireworks makes perfect sense. Pallavi Pratap, an lawyer who argues in front of the Supreme Court of India, said that she saw the ban as a "small improvement" for a cleaner environment. At this level, the entire population is affected, and health professionals suggest that children and those with respiratory disease spend no time outside. These conditions worsen in winter months as cooler air traps smog closer to ground level. Pratap herself was nearly blinded after a firework accident on Diwali years ago. Firecrackers, she said, leave her "terrified." "Bursting crackers is not the only tradition to support." Pratap said.28. Why did the court ban selling firecrackers during Diwali ?A. To ban the religious beliefB. To spread religious spiritC. To ease air pollutionD. To arouse a debate29. How do you understand the underlined sentence?A. Firecracker is to Diwali what Christmas tree is to ChristmasB. No firecrackers on Christmas.C. No Christmas tree on Diwali.D. Christmas tree is more important than firecrackers.30. What’s the author’s attitude toward the ban according to the passage ?A. subjectiveB. supportiveC. uncertainD. objective31. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. An introduction to Diwali &Hinduism.B. A dilemma: celebration or protection ?C. A ban of selling firecrackersD. A debate between environmentalists and religionists.DTraditionally, robots have been hard, made of metal and other rigid material: But a team of scientists at Harvard University in the US has managed to build an entirely soft robot--one that draws inspiration from an octopus (章鱼).Described in science journal Nature, the “Octobot” could pave the way for more effective autonomous robots that could be used in search，rescue and exploration. “The Octobot is minimal system which may serve as a foundation fo r a new generation of completely soft, autonomous robots” the study’s authors wrote.Robots built for precise, repetitive movements in a controlled environment don’t do so well on rough terrains (地形) or in unpredictable conditions. And they aren’t especial ly safe around humans, because they’re made out of hard and heavy parts that could be potentially dangerous to their users.So researchers have been working on building soft robots for decades. They’ve taken inspiration from nature, looking to animals from jellyfish to cockroaches, which are often made up of more flexible matter.But creating a completely soft robot remains a challenge. Even if engineers build a silicone (硅酮) body, it’s still a grand challenge to construct flexible versions of essential parts, such as a source of power.“Although soft robotics is still in its early stage, it holds great promise for several applications, such as search-rescue operations and exploration,” Barbara Mazzolai and Virgilio Mattoli of the Italian Institute of Techno logy’ Center forMicro-BioRobotics, wrote in a comment. “Soft robots might also open up new approaches to improving wellness and quality of life.”32. What’s the special feature of “Octobot”？A. It’s soft.B. It’s made of metal.C. It’s very small.D. It looks like an octopus.33. What’s the disadvantage of traditional robots?A. They’re hard to control.B. They’re too heavy to move.C. They can’t predict conditions.D. They can’t behave well all the time.34. One of the biggest challeng es is to build Octobot’s________.A. silicone bodyB. complex componentsC. precise movementsD. flexible power source35. What’s the possible application of “Octobot”？A. Medical research.B. Life rescue.C. Machine operation.D. House cleaning.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。
