ADalmatian Coast, CroatiaIt’s no secret that summers on the Dalmatian Coast in Croatia offer clear blue waters for swimming, beautiful sunsets, historic buildings and picture-perfect beaches. The best way to see the Dalmatian Coast is from your own sea kayak(皮划艇). But the temperature is far too high to be comfortable in the high season, so you need to wait until it drops but the sea is still warm.Mykonos, GreeceMykonos is usually very crowded with visitors in July and August, but the Greek meltemi winds can be a real problem in high summer. Later in the season, they are much calmer and you can spend your time lying on the beach without being angry withthe sand. The best address is the Hotel Belvedere, but the cheapest hotel is the Grace Mykonos, which is good value in September, but even better a month later. Aeolian Island, ItalySicily’s beautiful seven islands often attract Oscar-winners like Robert De Niro and Russell Crowe. September is the time to visit the Aeolian Islands, as the tourists have gone. Don’t miss Panarea, where the only way of getting around is on foot, and make sure you include the greenest island, Salina.St Tropez, FranceSt Tropez in high season is full, but come the end August, it soon returns to being the French Provencal fishing town of the 1960s. You can walk through its streets in peace and drop into its popular stores without the crowds. It’s also much easier to get a meal at places such as Alain Duca sse’s Spoon, or to drop into bars like Nikki Beach for a drink. The best places to stay are Hotel La Ponche or Le Beauvallon,a 10-minute boat ride across the bay in St Maxime.21.Where can you go if you are interested in historic buildings?A.Mykonos, Greece.B. St Tropez, FranceC. Aeolian Islands, ItalyD. Dalmatian Coast, Croatia22. When is the best time to stay in the Grace Mykonos?A.In July.B. In August.C. In October.D. In September.23. Why does the author say September is the time to visit the Aeolian Islands?A. There are fewer tourists.B. The weather is quite good.C. There’s a chance to meet starsD. Green can be seen everywhere.BEach year, people are becoming more and more worried about the future of our planet. People are now starting to agree--- global warming will certainly make a difference to the world’s weather. While some parts of the world may have more floods, some other parts might have long periods of dry weather. All of this will have a serious influence on the world’s agriculture. And that could make it difficult for us to get enough food to survive.This explains the idea behind the Svalbard Global Seed Vault(种子库). The Seed Vault is built into a mountain on an island near the North Pole. The purpose is to protect the world’s agriculture from future disasters. This may not just be a question of global warming. Perhaps there will be a major nuclear disaster or war one day. These things won’t be a problem for Svalbard.Some experts think that the population of the earth will probably go up by 50% in the next 40 years. Because of climate change, it probably won’ t be easy for some plants to survive. Having many different types of plants will be necessary for agriculture to adapt to changes in the environment. In the Svalbard Global Seed Vault, there is space for 4.5 million types of seed. At the moment there are over 770,000 different types there.Any country in the world can leave seeds in Svalbard without paying. The seeds of some plants, such as peas, only survive for 20 to 30 years. But others will last for hundreds of years.In 2028, the Svalbard Vault will celebrate its 20th birthday. 200 years in the future, it’s possible that the ice caps will disappear. Even if this happens, Svalb ard will be safe. That’s because it is on a mountain and will be above the sea level. And because it is so close to the North Pole, even if their electricity stops working, the ice will keep a cool temperature of -3.5℃ to keep the seeds in good condition. But the best protection is the fact that it is in such a faraway place. After all, maybe one day this will be the most important building in the whole world.24. What does the first paragraph mainly introduce?A. The role of agriculture.B. The reason for global warming.C. The future problems we’ll face.D. The planet where we’ll live in the future.25. What is the Seed Vault mainly used for?A. Storing plant seedsB. Growing more plantsC. Discovering new plantsD. Providing humans with food26. What do we know about the Seed Vault?A. It needs more space.B. It provides services for free.C. It is built above a mountain.D. It will close in 200 years.27. If there is an electrical problem at the Seed Vault, what will happen to the seeds?A. They will still be safe.B. They will be sent away.C. They will be of no use.D. They will be planted at onceCWhen I learned that my 71-year-old mother was playing Scrabble – a word game – against herself, I knew I had to do something. My husband suggested we give her a computer to play against. I wasn’t sure my mother was ready for it. After all, it had taken 10 years to persuade her to buy an electric cooker. Even so, we packed up our old computer and delivered it to my parents’ home. And so began my mother’s adventure in the world of computers.It also marked the beginning of an unusual teaching task for me. I’ve taught people of all ages, but I never thought I would be teaching my mother how to do anything. She has been the one teaching me all my life: to cool and sew; to enjoy the good times and put up with the bad. Now it was my turn to give something back.It wasn’t easy at the beginning. There was so much to explain and to introduce. Slowly but surely, my mother caught on, making notes in a little notebook. After a few months of Scrabble and other games, I decided it was time to introduce her to word processing(文字处理). This proved to be a bigger challenge to her, so I gave her some homework. I asked her to write me a letter, using different letter types, colors and spaces.“Are you this demanding with your kindergarten pupils?” she asked.“No, of course not,” I said. “They already know how to use a computer.”My mother isn’t the only one experiencing a fast personal growth period. T hanks to the computer, my father has finally got over his phone allergy(过敏反应). For as long as I can remember, any time I called, my mother would answer. Dad and I havehad more phone conversations in the last two months than we’ve had in the past 20 years.28. What does the author do?A. She is a cook.B. She is a teacher.C. She is a housewife.D. She is a computer engineer.29. The author decided to give her mother a computer .A. to let her have more chances to write lettersB. to support her in doing her homeworkC. to help her through the bad timesD. to make her life more enjoyable30. The author asked her mother to write her a letter .A. because her mother had stopped using the telephoneB. because she wanted to keep in touch with her motherC. so that her mother could practice what she had learnedD. so that mother could be free from housework31. After the computer was brought home, the author’s father .A. lost interest in cookingB. took more phone callsC. played more gamesD. began to use itDCan dogs and cats live in perfect harmony in the same home? People who are thinking about adopting a dog as a friend for their cat are worried that they will fight.A recent research has found a new recipe for success. According to the study, if the cat is adopted before the dog, and if they are introduced when still young (less than 6 months for cats, a year for dogs), it is highly probable that the two pets will get along swimmingly. Two-thirds of the homes interviewed reported a positive relationship between their cat and dog.However, it wasn't all sweetness and light. There was a reported coldness between the cat and dog in 25% of the homes, while aggression and fighting were observedin 10% of the homes. One reason for this is probably that some of their body signals are just opposite. For example, when a cat turns its head away it signals aggression, while a dog doing the same signals submission(投降).In homes with cats and dogs living peacefully, researchers observed a surprising behaviour. They are learning how to talk each other's language. It is a surprise that cats can learn how to talk 'Dog', and dogs can learn how to talk ‘Cat’.What’s interesting is that both cats a nd dogs have appeared to develop their intelligence. They can learn to read each other’s body signals, suggesting that the two may have more in common than was previously suspected. Once familiar with each other's presence and body language, cats and dogs can play together, greet each other nose to nose, and enjoy sleeping together on the sofa. They can easily share the same water bowl and in some cases groom (梳理) each other.The significance of this research on cats and dogs may go beyond pets—to people who don't get along, including neighbors, colleagues at work, and even world superpowers. If cats and dogs can learn to get along, surely people have a good chance.32. The underlined word swimmingly in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to .A. earlyB. sweetlyC. quicklyD. smoothly33. Some cats and dogs may fight when .A. they are cold to each otherB. they look away from each otherC. they misunderstand each other's signalsD. they are introduced at an early age34. What is found surprising about cats and dogs?A. They eat and sleep together.B. They observe each other's behaviors.C. They learn to speak each other's language.D. They know something from each other's voices.35. It is suggested in Paragraph 4 that cats and dogs .A. have common interestsB. are less different than was thoughtC. have a common body languageD. are less intelligent than was expected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。

AEuropeans should try to stay indoors if ash from Iceland's volcano starts settling, the World Health Organization warned Friday as small amounts fell in Iceland, Scotland and Norway.WHO spokesman Daniel Epstein said the microscopic(微小的) ash is potentially dangerous for people when it starts to reach the Earth because inhaled(吸入) particles can enter the lungs and cause respiratory problems. And he also said Europeans who go outside might want to consider wearing a mask.Other experts, however, weren't convinced the volcanic ash would have a major effect on peoples' health and said WHO's warnings were "hysterical." They said volcanic ash was much less dangerous than cigarette smoke or pollution. Volcanic ash is made of fine particles of fragmented volcanic rock. It is light gray to black and can be as fine as talcum powder. During a volcanic eruption, the ash can be breathed deep into the lungs and cause irritation even in healthy people. But once it falls from a greater distance — like from the cloud currently hovering above Europe — its health effects are often minimal, experts say."Not all particles are created equal," said Ken Donaldson, a professor of respiratory toxicology at the University of Edinburgh, "In the great scheme of things, volcanic ash is not all that harmful." And he said most Europeans' exposure tovolcanic ash would be negligible and that only those in the near districts of the Icelandic volcano would likely be at risk.Dr. Stephen Spiro, a professor of respiratory medicine and deputy chair of the British Lung Foundation, said the further the particles travel, the less dangerous they will be. "The cloud has already passed over northern Scotland and we haven't heard of any ill effects there," he said. Spiro said to wear masks or stay indoors to avoid volcanic ash was "over the top" and "a bit hysterical."1. The text is mainly about ______.A. the effect of volcanic ashB. the health risk of volcanic ashC. the disadvantages of volcanic ashD. the opinions on health risk of volcanic ash2. Which one is true according to Paragraph3?______.A. The volcanic ash’s effects on Europeans were little.B. The ash caused irritation even in healthy people.C. Other experts thought WTO’S warning s were useful.D. The volcanic ash was more dangerous than cigarette smoke or pollution.3. The underlined word “hysterical” in Paragraph3 most probably means ______.A. amazingB. practicalC. valuableD. overstated4. What can we learn from the passage?______.A. The volcanic ash wouldn’t be harmful to people.B. All experts thought the volcanic ash did great harm to our health.C. People close to the volcano would likely be at risk according to some experts.D. Europeans should stay indoors because Iceland's volcano starts settling.BToo much tourism can be a problem. If tourism grows too quickly, people must leave other jobs to work in the tourism industry. This means that other parts of the country’s economy can suffer.On the other hand, if there is not enough tourism, people can lose jobs.Businesses can also lose money. It costs a great deal of money to build large hotels, airports, air terminals, first- class roads, and other support facilities(配套设施)needed by tourist attractions. For example, a major international class tourism hotel can cost as much as 50 thousand dollars per room to build. If this room is not used most of the time, the owners of the hotel lose money.Building a hotel is just a beginning. There must be many support facilities as well, including roads to get to the hotel, electricity, sewers to handle waste, and water. All of these support facilities cost money. If they are not used because there are not enough tourists , jobs and money are lost.5.Too much tourism can cause all these problems EXCEPT ________ .A. a bad effect on other industriesB. a change of tourists’ customsC. over - crowdedness of places of interestD. pressure on traffic6.It can be inferred from the text that ________ .A. the author doesn’t like tourism developing so fastB. local people will benefit from tourist attractionC. other parts of a country’s economy won’t benefit from tourism muchD. we can't build too many support facilities7.The author thinks it is good for local people to know that tourism will ________ .A. waste a lot of moneyB. weaken their economyC. help establish their customsD. help improve their lifeCImagine a mass of floating waste is two times the size of the state of Texas. Texas has a land area of more than 678 000 square kilometers. So it might be difficult to imagine anything twice as big.All together, this mass of waste flowing in the North Pacific Ocean is known as the Great Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch. It weighs about 3 500 000 tons. The waste includes bags，bottles and containers—plastic products of all kinds.The eastern part of the Great Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch is about l 600 kilometers west of California. The western part is west of the Hawaiian Islands andeast of Japan. The area has been described as a kind of oceanic desert，with light winds and slow moving water currents. The water moves so slow that garbage from all over the world collects there.In recent years，there have been growing concerns about the floating garbage and its effect on sea creatures and human health. Scientists say thousands of animals get trapped in the floating waste，resulting in death or injury. Even more die from a lack of food or water after swallowing pieces of plastic. The trash can also make animals feel full，lessening their desire to eat or drink.The floating garbage also can have harmful effects on people. There is an increased threat of infection of disease from polluted waste，and from eating fish that swallowed waste. Divers can also get trapped in the plastic.Its existence first gained public attention in l997. That was when racing boat captain and oceanographer Charles Moore and his crew sailed into the garbage while returning from a racing event. Five years earlier，another oceanographer learned of the trash after a shipment of rubber duckies got lost at sea. Many of those toys are now part of the Great Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch.In August，2009，a team from the University of California，San Diego became the latest group to travel to it. They were shocked by the amount of waste they saw. They gathered hundreds of sea creatures and water samples to measure the garbage patch’s effect on ocean environment.8.What do we know about the Great Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch?A. It is made up of various kinds of plastic products.B. It is a solid mass of floating waste materials.C. It lies l60 000 kilometers east of California.D. It is described as a kind of oceanic desert.9.Why do people pay attention to the Great Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch?A. Because it may prevent the flow of ocean water.B. Because the polluted plastic articles will move up the food chain.C. Because it may be from an island in the pacific.D. Because ships may be trapped in the floating waste.10.Which column can you find the passage on a newspaper?A. Sports and entertainment.B. Media and culture.C. Environment and society.D. Science and technology.第二部分完形填空（共20小题；每小题1分，满分20分）阅读下面的短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

But soon, the importance of English idioms was shown in an amusing experience.One day, I happened to meet an Englishman on the road, and soon we began to talk. As I was talking about how I was stud ying English, the foreigner seemed to be astonished. Gently s haking his head, shrugging his shoulders, he said, “You don't say!”“You don't say!” I was puzzled. I thought, perhaps this is not an appropriate topic (适当的话题). “Well, I'd better change the topic.” So I said to him. “Well,shall we talk about the Great Wall？ By the way, have you ev er been there？”“Certainly, everyone back home will laugh at me if I leave China without seeing it. It was magnificent.” He w as deep in thought when I began to talk like a tourist guide. “T he Great Wall is one of the wonders in the world. We are very proud of it.” Soon I was interrupted again by his words: “You don't say!” I couldn't help asking, "Why do you ask me not to t alk about it？" "Well, I didn't request you to do so," he answered, greatly su rprised. I said, "Didn't you say ‘you don't say’？”Hearing this, t he Englishman laughed to tears. He began to explain, “‘You d on't say’ actually means ‘really!’ It is an expression of surprise .Perhaps you don't pay attention to English idioms.” Only then did I know I had made a fool of myself. Since then I have bee n more careful with idiomatic expressions. Remember: what t he English teachers said is always right to us students.8. A year ago, I paid no attention to English idioms because _ ______.A. English idioms were not importantB. I was not careful with English idiomsC. my teacher didn't emphasize the importance of themD. I had no interest in them9. At first, on hearing "You don't say," I thought the foreigner meant _______.A. he was not interested in the topicB. he was only interested in the Great WallC.

Which of the following is true according to the passage？?A. The Englishman left China without seeing the Great Wall.B. The Englishman wanted to see the Great Wall after I talked about it.C. The Englishman wanted me to act as his guide.D. The Englishman visited the Great Wall and thought it worth visiting.DDolphins are not fish, but warm-blooded animals. They live in groups, and speak to each other in their own language. In this way they are like other animals , such as bees and birds. But dolphins are very different from almost all land animals. Their brain is nearly the same size as our own, and they live a long time --- at least twenty or thirty years.Like some animals, dolphins use sound to help them find their way around. They also use these sounds to talk to each othe r and to help them find food. We now know they do not use th eir ears to receive these sounds, but the lower part of the mou th, called the jaw.Strangely, dolphins seem to like man, and for thousands of ye ars there have been stories about the dolphin and its friendshi p with people.There is a story about sailors in the 19th century. In a danger ous part of the sea off the coast of New Zealand, they learnt t o look for a dolphin called Jack. From 1871 to 1903 Jack met every boat in the area and showed it the way. Then in 1903 a passenger on a boat called The Penguin shot and wounded J ack. He recovered and for nine years more continued to guide all ships through the area－except for The Penguin. Today, some people continue to kill dolphins, but many countr ies of the world now protect them and in these places it is aga inst the law to kill them.12. Dolphins are different from many other animals in that the y _____.A. live in groupsB. have their own languageC. are warm-bloodedD. have large brains13.Which of the following does the dolphin use to help it find it s way around?A. Its jaw.B. Its earsC. Its nose.D. Its eyes.14. By telling the story of Jack the writer wanted to show that _____.A. people are cruel to animalsB. Jack is different from oth er dolphinsC. dolphins are friendly and cleverD. dolphins should be prot ected by law15.Why did the sailors off the coast of New Zealand look for J ack?A. They wanted his help.B. They enjoyed playing with him.C. He was lonely and liked to be with peopleD. He was seriously wounded.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。

AThe Coolest InventionsAn Oceans VacuumThere’s a collection of plastic trash in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. It’s bigger than and growing. The way to clean it up n ow is to catch it with nets. That is both costly and slow. Instea d, the Ocean Cleanup Project proposes a 62-mile-long floating barrier that would use natural currents to trap tra sh. If next year’s trials succeed, a full cleanup operation would aim to start in 2020. It could reduce the trash by 42% over 10 years.Easy-On ShoesIn 2012, Matthew Walzer, a high school student with a disabili ty, sent a note to Nike. “My dream is to go to college,” he wrot e, “without having to worry about someone coming to tie my s hoes every day.” Nike assigned a design team to the challeng e.

There was a time when I thought I woul d never have that sort of career.I wasn’t an excellent student because I didn’t do much schoolwork. In my final term I starte d thinking what I might do and found I didn’t have much to off er. I just accepted that I wasn’t the type to have a career.I then found myself a job—looking after two little girls. It wasn’t too bad at first. But the pr oblems began when I agreed to live in so that I would be ther e if my boss had to go out for business in the evening. We agr eed that if I had to work extra hours one week, she’d give me time off the next. But unfortunately, it didn’t often work out. I w as getting extremely tired and fed up, because I had too many late nights and early mornings with the children.One Sunday, I was in the park with the children, and met Meg an who used to go to school with me. I told her about my situa tion. She suggested that I should do a course and get a qualifi cation（资格证书）if I wanted to work with children. I didn’t think I would be acce pted because I didn’t take many exams in school. She persua ded me to phone the local college and they were really helpful . My experience counted for a lot and I got on a part-time course. I had to leave my job with the family, and got wor k helping out at a kindergarten.Now I’ve got a full-time job there. I shall always be thankful to Megan. I wish I ha d known earlier that you could have a career, even if you aren ’t top of the class at school.4. What is the author’s present job?A. Working part-time in a college.B. Taking care of children for a family.C. Helping children with their schoolwork.D. Looking after children at a kindergarten.5. When staying with the two girls’ family, the author ________ .A. was paid for extra workB. often worked long hoursC. got much help from her bossD. took a day off every other week6. Why did the author leave her first job?A. She found a full-time job.B. She was fed up with children.C. She decided to attend a part-time course.D. She needed a rest after working extra hours.7. What has the author learned from her own experiences?A. Less successful students can still have a career.B. Qualifications are necessary for a career.C. Hard work makes an excellent student.D. One must choose the job one likes.CIn some islands north of , head lice, which live on the hair or s kin of people or animals, were a part of life. If the lice left their host, he became sick and feverish. Therefore, sick people ha d lice put in their hair intentionally. There was a method to thei r madness: As soon as the lice had settled in again, the patie nt improved. The story explains the confusion of cause and ef fect. If the lice leave the sick, it is because he has a fever and they simply get hot feet. When the fever breaks, they return. We may laugh at this story, but false causalitymisleads us pra ctically every day.Consider the headline: “Fact: Women Who Use Shampoo XY Z Every Day Have Stronger Hair.” This statement says very lit tle—least of all, that the shampoo makes your hair stronger. It mig ht simply be the other way round: Women with strong hair tend to use Shampoo XYZ—and perhaps that’s because it says “especially for thick hair” o n the bottle.A further example: Scientists found that long periods in the ho spital did harm to patients. This was music to health insurers’ears, who, of course, are keen to make stays as brief as possi ble. But, clearly, patients who are dismissed immediately are healthier than those who must stay on for treatment. Recently I read that students get better grades at school if the ir homes contain a lot of books. This study was surely a shot i n the arm for booksellers, but it is also an example of false ca usality. This simple truth is that educated parents tend to valu e their children’s education more than uneducated ones do. Pl us, educated parents often have more books at home. In shor t, a dust-covered copy of War and Peace alone isn’t going to influence anyone’s grades; what counts is parents’ education levels, as well as their genes.Another example of false causality was the supposed relati onship between the birth rate and the numbers of stork (鹳) p airs in Germany. Both were in decline, and if you plot them on a graph, the two lines of development from 1965 to 1987 app eared almost the same. Does this mean the stork actually does bring babies? Obviously not, since this was a purely acciden tal connection.In conclusion: Connection is not causality. Take a closer look at linked events: Sometimes what is presented as the cause t urns out to be the effect, or just the other way around. And so metimes there is no link at all—just like with the storks and babies.8. Which is an example of false causality?A. Women with strong hair tend to use a certain shampoo.B. Birth rate and the stork population are connected.C. Longer periods in the hospital benefit patients.D. Lice can make a person sick and feverish.9. The underlined phrase “a shot in the arm” in Paragraph 4 m eans _____.A. painB. defeatC. guidanceD. e ncouragement10. According to the author, students get better grades proba bly because _____.A. their homes are full of booksB. they have read War and PeaceC. their educated parents value educationD. their parents are successful booksellers11. It can be concluded from the passage that _____.A.linked events may turn out to be unrelatedB. cause and effect are interdependentC. connections are mostly cause and effectD. connections are pure accidentsDAn artificial intelligence chatbot (聊天机器人) called TacoBot from fast food chain Taco Bell now lets yo u order a meal in a smartphone text exchange that might look something like this:TacoBot: Hello there. I’m your TacBot. I can help you order a meal for you or your team.You: Can I order one soft taco (墨西哥煎玉米卷) with beef? TacoBot: Sounds good. Do you want to keep adding stuff? M aybe some bacon?Brands like Taco Bell and some tech companies are betting th at more and more people will start using this conversational w ay of interacting online instead of clicking through on-screen menus.If the trend catches on — as firms like Facebook and Microsof t expect — it could transform the digital landscape by allowingsmartphone users to find information or make purchases with simple text messages, ignoring apps and search engines. A mong the companies already developing or launching chatbot s are the Wall Street Journal, CNN and retail giants Sephora and H&M.“I believe we are headed to a shift where this will become one of the primary ways we interact with the digital world,” says M ark Beccue of Mark Beccue Consulting, who follows trends in the messaging market. “The chat user interface(界面) is what makes sense for a mobile-first world. You can be more specific and be quicker.”Messaging services have become a natural place for chatbots to reside(居住), since their usage is growing: at least 1.4 billion people us ed a messaging app last year. According to Business Insider I ntelligence, messaging apps have overtaken the largest socia l networks in the world.The messaging service Kik meanwhile launched its own “bot shop”, with partners including retailers and game developers. Kik said the move was a response to the trend people using f ewer apps and spending more time on chat platforms. “There’s nothing to download, no new registration required, and you can use an interface you’re already familiar with: chat,” Kik said in a statement.However, some analysts remain skeptical on chatbots as the wave of the future. Jan Dawson of Jackdaw Research said th e movement is largely driven by Microsoft and Facebook, two firms which would like a greater presence in mobile even thou gh they don’t control the biggest smartphone operating syste ms. “There’s a lot of hype (炒作) around chatbots,” Dawson said.Artificial intelligence has come a long way with systems like A pple’s Siri, Amazon’s Alexa and Microsoft’s Cortana, but still c annot deal with all possible situations, says Roger Kay of End point Technologies Associates. “There’s a kind of hubris (自大) that someone could expand the one-to-many communication method to every human interaction,” Ka y said.12. Why does the author mention the smartphone text exchan ge at the beginning?A. To indicate that more and more people begin to hate orderi ng food by clicking online.B. To reflect that Taco Bell is turning to a new sales method t o compete in the market.C. To show that chatbot will become more and more popular among people.D. To inform the readers of a convenient way to purchase wh at they want online.13. We can learn from the passage that ____.A. using chatbots has been a main way we interact with the di gital worldB. messaging apps still haven’t taken the place of social netw orks at presentC. Microsoft thinks that tech companies should no longer dev elop search engines.D. people could use chatbots by downloading messaging app s on the Internet.14. The messaging service Kik launched its own “bot shop” fo r the following reasons EXCEPT that ____.A. more and more people tend to use fewer appsB. some tech companies have developed their own chatbotsC. chatbots are more convenient to use than some appsD. people are accustomed to chatting in an interactive way15. Jan Dawson thinks that regarding chatbots as the wave of the future is ____.mercialB. ridiculousC. ambitiousD. theoretical 第二节七选五（共5小题。
