Young children across the globe enjoy playing games of hide and seek. For them, there’s something highly exciting about 1 someone else’s glance and making oneself unable to be seen.

However, we all witness that preschool children are remarkably 2 at hiding. They often cover only their eyes with their hands, leaving the rest of their bodies 3 .

For a long time, this ineffective hiding method was 4 as evidence that children are hopelessly “egocentric” ( 自我中心的 ) creatures. But our 5 research results in child developmental psychology 6 that idea.

We brought young children aged 2-4 into our Minds in Development Lab at USC Each 7 sat down with an adult who covered her own eyes or 8 . We then asked the child if she could 9 or hear the adult. Surprisingly, children replied that they couldn’t. The same 10 happened when the adult covered her own mouth: 11 children said that they couldn’t 12 to her.

A number of 13 ruled out that the children misunderstood what they were being asked. The results were clear: Our young subjects 14 the questions and knew 15 what was asked of them. Their 16 to the questions reflected their true 17 that “I can see you only if you can see me, too.” They simply 18 mutual ( 相互的 ) recognition and regard. Our 19 suggest when a child “hides” by putting a blanket over her head, it is not a result of egocentrism. In fact, children consider this method 20 when others use it.

In 1916, two girls of wealthy families, best friends from Auburn, N. Y. — Dorothy Woodruff and Rosamond Underwood — traveled to a settlement in the Rocky Mountains to teach in a one-room schoolhouse. The girls had gone to Smith College. They wore expensive clothes. So for them to move to Elkhead, Colo. to instruct the children whose shoes were held together with string was a surprise. Their stay in Elkhead is the subject of Nothing Daunted: The Unexpected Education of Two Society Girls in the West by Dorothy Wickenden, who is a magazine editor and Dorothy Woodruff’s granddaughter.

Why did they go then? Well, they wanted to do something useful. Soon, however, they realized what they had undertaken.

They moved in with a local family, the Harrisons, and, like them, had little privacy, rare baths, and a blanket of snow on their quilt when they woke up in the morning. Some mornings, Rosamond and Dorothy would arrive at the schoolhouse to find the children weeping from the cold. In spring, the snow was replaced by mud over ice.

In Wickenden’s book, she expanded on the history of the West and also on feminism, which of course influenced the girls’ decision to go to Elkhead. A hair-raising section concerns the building of the railroads, which entailed ( 牵涉 ) drilling through the Rockies, often in blinding snowstorms. The book ends with Rosamond and Dorothy’s return to Auburn.

Wickenden is a very good storyteller. The sweep of the land and the stoicism ( 坚忍 ) of the people move her to some beautiful writing. Here is a picture of Dorothy Woodruff, on her horse, looking down from a hill top: “When the sun slipped behind the mountains, it shed a rosy glow all around them. Then a full moon rose. The snow was marked only by small animals: foxes, coyotes, mice, and varying hares, which turned white in the winter.”

24 Why did Dorothy and Rosamond go to the Rocky Mountains?

A To teach in a school. B To study American history.

C To write a book. D To do sightseeing.

25 What can we learn about the girls from paragraph 3?

A They enjoyed much respect. B They had a room with a bathtub.

C They lived with the local kids. D They suffered severe hardships.

26 Which part of Wickenden’s writing is hair-raising?

A The extreme climate of Auburn. B The living conditions in Elkhead.

C The railroad building in the Rockies. D The natural beauty of the West.

27 What is the text?

A A news report. B A book review. C A children’s story. D A diary entry.

Can a small group of drones ( 无人机 ) guarantee the safety and reliability of railways and, at the same time, help railway operators save billions of euros each year? That is the very likely future of applying today’s “eyes in the sky” technology to make sure that the millions of kilometres of rail tracks and infrastructure ( 基础设施 ) worldwide are safe for trains on a 24/7 basis.

Drones are already being used to examine high-tension electrical lines. They could do precisely the same thing to inspect railway lines and other vital aspects of rail infrastructure such as the correct position of railway tracks and switching points. The more regularly they can be inspected, the more railway safety, reliability and on-time performance will be improved. Costs would be cut and operations would be more efficient ( 高效 ) across the board.

That includes huge savings in maintenance costs and better protection of railway personnel safety. It is calculated that European railways alone spend approximately 20 billion euros a year on maintenance, including sending maintenance staff, often at night, to inspect and repair the rail infrastructure. That can be dangerous work that could be avoided with drones assisting the crews’ efforts.

By using the latest technologies, drones could also start providing higher-value services for railways, detecting faults in the rail or switches, before they can cause any safety problems. To perform these tasks, drones for rail don’t need to be flying overhead. Engineers are now working on a new concept: the rail drones of the future. They will be moving on the track ahead of the train, and programmed to run autonomously. Very small drones with advanced sensors and AI and travelling ahead of the train could guide it like a co-pilot. With their ability to see ahead, they could signal any problem, so that fast-moving trains would be able to react in time.

28 What makes the application of drones to rail lines possible?

A The use of drones in checking on power lines. B Drones’ ability to work at high altitudes.

C The reduction of cost in designing drones. D Drones’ reliable performance in remote areas.

29 What does “maintenance” underlined in paragraph 3 refer to?

A Personnel safety. B Assistance from drones.

C Inspection and repair. D Construction of infrastructure.

30 What function is expected of the rail drones?

A To provide early warning. B To make trains run automatically.

C To earn profits for the crews. D To accelerate transportation.

31 Which is the most suitable title for the text?

A What Faults Can Be Detected with Drones

B How Production of Drones Can Be Expanded

C What Difficulty Drone Development Will Face

D How Drones Will Change the Future of Railways

B    29 C    30 A    31 D

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。应用今天的 空中之眼 的技术,无人机能在保证铁路安全可靠的同时又能帮助铁路运营商每年节省数十亿欧元。

28 .推理判断题。根据文章第二段 “Drones are already being used to examine high-tension electrical lines. They could do precisely the same thing to inspect railway lines and other vital aspects of rail infrastructure such as the correct position of railway tracks and switching points.( 无人机已经被用于检查高压电线。他们完全可以做同样的事情来检查铁路线路和铁路基础设施的其他重要方面,如铁路轨道和换乘点的正确位置 )” 可推知,无人机在高空工作的能力使无人机应用于铁路线路成为可能。故选 B

29 .词句猜测题。根据后文 “It is calculated that European railways alone spend approximately 20 billion euros a year on maintenance, including sending maintenance staff, often at night, to inspect and repair the rail infrastructure. ( 据统计,仅欧洲铁路公司每年在铁路维护上的花费就约为 200 亿欧元,其中包括经常在夜间派遣维修人员检查和维修铁路基础设施 )” 可知,花在 maintenance 上的费用是用于 “inspect and repair the rail infrastructure (检查和维修铁路基础设施 。由此可知 “That includes huge savings in maintenance costs and better protection of railway personnel safety” 是指大幅节省检修成本和更好地保护铁路人员安全,划线词和 C 项: Inspection and repair( 检修 ) 含义相近。故选 C

30 .推理判断题。根据最后一段 “Very small drones with advanced sensors and AI and travelling ahead of the train could guide it like a co-pilot. With their ability to see ahead, they could signal any problem, so that fast-moving trains would be able to react in time.( 带有先进传感器和人工智能的非常小的无人机可以像副驾驶一样在火车前面行驶。凭借它们的预见能力,它们可以发出任何问题的信号,以便快速行驶的火车能够及时做出反应 )” 可推知,对于无人机期待的功能是提前发现问题。故选 A

31 .主旨大意题。根据第一段 “Can a small group of drones( 无人机 )guarantee the safety and reliability of railways and, at the same time, help railway operators save billions of euros each year? That is the very likely future of applying today’s “eyes in the sky” technology to make sure that the millions of kilometers of rail tracks and infrastructure( 基础设施 )worldwide are safe for trains on a24/7 basis.( 一小群无人机能否在保证铁路安全可靠的同时,帮助铁路运营商每年节省数十亿欧元?这很可能是应用今天的 空中之眼 技术的未来,以确保全球数百万公里的铁路轨道和基础设施全天候安全运行。 )” 以及后文第二段讲到了使用无人机检查电力线路使无人机应用于铁路线路成为可能 ; 第三段讲到了使用无人机大幅节省维护成本和更好地保护铁路人员安全;第四段讲到了通过使用最新的技术,无人机还可以开始为铁路提供更高的价值,可知文章主要讲述了无人机将如何改变铁路的未来,所以 D 无人机将如何改变铁路的未来。 符合文章中心思想,适合作为本文的最佳标题。故选 D

The Government’s sugar tax on soft drinks has brought in half as much money as Ministers first predicted it would generate, the first official data on the policy has shown.

First announced in April, 2016, the tax which applies to soft drinks containing more than 5g of sugar per 100ml, was introduced to help reduce childhood obesity ( 肥胖 ). It is believed that today’s children and teenagers are consuming three times the recommended level of sugar, putting them at a higher risk of the disease.

Initially the sugar tax was expected to make £520m a year for the Treasury. However, data of the first six months showed it would make less than half this amount. At present it is expected to generate £240m for the year ending in April 2019, which will go to school sports.

It comes after more than half of soft drinks sold in shops have had their sugar levels cut by manufacturers ( 制造商 ) so they can avoid paying the tax. Drinks now contain 45 million fewer kilos of sugar as a result of manufacturers’ efforts to avoid the charge, according to Treasury figures. Since April drinks companies have been forced to pay between 18p and 24p for every litre of sugary drink they produce or import, depending on the sugar content.

However, some high sugar brands, like Classic Coca Cola, have accepted the sugar tax and are refusing to change for fear of upsetting consumers. Fruit juices, milk-based drinks and most alcoholic drinks are free of the tax, as are small companies manufacturing fewer than 1m litres per year.

Today’s figures, according to one government official, show the positive influence the sugar tax is having by raising millions of pounds for sports facilities ( 设施 ) and healthier eating in schools. Helping the next generation to have a healthy and active childhood is of great importance, and the industry is playing its part.

32 Why was the sugar tax introduced?

A To collect money for schools. B To improve the quality of drinks.

C To protect children’s health. D To encourage research in education.

33 How did some drinks companies respond to the sugar tax?

A They turned to overseas markets. B They raised the prices of their products.

C They cut down on their production. D They reduced their products’ sugar content.

34 From which of the following is the sugar tax collected?

A Most alcoholic drinks. B Milk-based drinks. C Fruit juices. D Classic Coke.

35 What can be inferred about the adoption of the sugar tax policy?

A It is a short-sighted decision. B It is a success story.

C It benefits manufacturers. D It upsets customers.

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了英国政府对软饮料征收的糖税来解决儿童以及青少年的健康问题,同时该收入用于学校体育。

32 .细节理解题。根据第二段中的 “First announced in April, 2016, the tax which applies to soft drinks containing more than 5g of sugar per 100ml, was introduced to help reduce childhood obesity.( 该税于 2016 4 月首次宣布,适用于每 100 毫升含糖超过 5g 的软饮料,旨在帮助减少儿童肥胖 )” 可知,征收糖税的目的是帮助儿童减少肥胖,保护儿童健康。故选 C 项。

33 .细节理解题。根据第四段中的 “It comes after more than half of soft drinks sold in shops have had their sugar levels cut by manufacturers so they can avoid paying the tax.( 此前,制造商已经降低了商店中销售的超过一半的软饮料的含糖量,以避免纳税 )” 可知,一些饮料公司通过降低了产品的含糖量来避税。故选 D 项。

34 .细节理解题。根据第五段中的 “However, some high sugar brands, like Classic Coca Cola, have accepted the sugar tax and are refusing to change for fear of upsetting consumers. Fruit juices, milk-based drinks and most alcoholic drinks are free of the tax, as are small companies manufacturing fewer than 1m litres per year.( 然而,一些高糖品牌,如经典可口可乐,已经接受了糖税,并拒绝改变,因为担心会惹恼消费者。果汁、以牛奶为原料的饮料和大多数酒精饮料是免税的,每年生产不到 100 万升的小公司也是免税的 )” 可知,糖税主要来自经典可口可乐这些高糖品牌。故选 D 项。

35 .推理判断题。根据最后一段中 “Today’s figures, according to one government official, show the positive influence the sugar tax is having by raising millions of pounds for sports facilities and healthier eating in schools.( 根据一位政府官员的说法,今天的数据显示了糖税的积极影响,它为学校的体育设施和健康饮食筹集了数百万英镑 )” 可知,糖税政策带来了积极影响。由此推知,糖税政策的实施是一个成功的政策。故选 B 项。
