AWelcome to Adventureland!Everyone loves Adventureland! The Parks and Exhibitions were built for you to explore, enjoy, and admire their wonders. Every visit will be an unforgettable experience. You will go away enriched, longing to come back. What are you going to do this time?The Travel PavilionExplore places you have never been to before, and experience different ways of life. Visit the Amazon jungle(丛林)village, the Turkish market, the Tai floating market, the Berber mountain house and others. Talk to the people there who will tell you about their lives, and things they make. You can try making a carpet, making nets, fishing…The Future TowerThis exhibition shows how technology will affect our lives. It allows us to look into the future and explore the cities of the next century and the way we’ll be living then. Spend some time in our space station and climb into our simulator(模拟装置)for the Journey to Mars! The Nature ParkThis is not really one park but several. In the Safari Park you can drive among African animals in one of our Range Cruisers: see lions, giraffes, elephants in the wild. Move on to the Ocean Park to watch the dolphins and whales. And then there is still the Aviary to see…The PyramidThis is the center of Adventureland. Run out of film, need some postcards and stamps? For all these things and many more, visit our underground shopping center. Come here for information and ideas too.21.

If you are interested in sea creatures, you may visit_____ .A. The Pyramid.B. The Safari ParkC. The Future Tower.D. The Ocean Park.BCompassion(同情心) is a desire within us to help others. With effort, we can translate compassion into actions. An experience last weekend showed me this is true. I work part-time in a supermarket across from a building for the elderly. These old people are our main customers, and it’s not h ard to lose patience over their slowness. But last Sunday, one aged gentleman appeared to teach me a valuable lesson. This untidy man walked up to my register (收款机)with a box of biscuits. He said he was out of cash, had just moved into his room, and had nothing in his cupboards. He asked if we could let him have the food on trust. He promised to repay me the next day.I couldn’t help staring at him. I wondered what kind of person he had been ten or twenty years before, and what he would be like if luck had gone his way. I had a hurt in my heart for this kind of human soul, all alone in the world. I told him that I was sorry, but store rules didn’t allow me to do so. I felt stupid and unkind saying this, but I valued my job.Just then, another man, standing behind the first, spoke up. If anything, he looked more pitiable. “Change it to me. ” was all he said.What I had been feeling was pity. Pity is soft and safe and easy. Compassion, on the other hand, is caring in action. I thanked the second man but told him that was not allowed either. Then I reached into my pocket and paid for the biscuits myself. I reached into my pocket because these two men had reached into my heart and taught me compassion.24. The author lost patience on customers mainly because _________ .A. They were poor and meanB.

According to the last paragraph, which of the following is true about pity and compassion?A. Pity can certainly lead to compassionB. Pity can’t lead to compassion.C. Pity is the feeling while compassion shows in action.D. Pity has nothing to do with compassionCHere is some must­know information from a handbook on how people behave in doing business in some countries.In BrazilBrazilians are warm and friendly.They often stand close when talking and it is common for them to touch the person on the shoulder.People often greet each other (particularly women) with light cheek kisses.Schedules tend to be flexible,with business meetings sometimesstarting later than planned. But to be safe, be on time. Meals can stretch for hours—there's no such thing as rushing a meal in Brazil. Lunches also can start in the mid to lateafternoon.Brazilians are social,preferring face-to-face communication over e-mails or phone calls.In SingaporeSingaporeans shake hands when they meet and often also greet each other with a small,polite bow. Business cards should be offered and received with two hands.Arriving late is considered disrespectful.So be on time. Efficiency(效率) is the goal, so meetings and dealings often are fast-paced.Singaporeans are direct in their discussions,even when the subject is about money.Rank is important and authority is respected.This determines how people interact in meetings.For example,people avoid disagreeing outright with someone of a higher rank.In the United Arab EmiratesIn the UAE,status is important, so the most senior or oldest should be greeted first with their titles.The handshake seems to be longer than elsewhere. So do not pull away from the handshake. Women should cover themselves when it comes to dress.Men also tend to be covered from neck to elbows(肘部) and down to the knees.People do not avoid entertaining in their homes,but they also hold business meals at restaurants.Touching or passing food or eating with your left hand is to be avoided.When meetings are one-to-one, if your host offers you coffee,you should refuse.It might seem odd,but it is a cultural tradition.Coffee should only be accepted if it is already set out or presented.In SwitzerlandThe Swiss tend to be formal and address each other by last name.They also are respectful of private lives.You should be careful not to ask about personal topics.Punctuality (守时) is vital,something that comes from a deep respect for others' time. Arrive at any meeting or event a few minutes early to be safe.They also have clear structure in theircompanies.Higher-ups make the final decisions,even if others might disagree.Neat,clean dress is expected.The Swiss follow formal table manners.They also keep their hands visible at the table and their elbows off the table.It is polite to finish the food on your plate.28.The passage is mainly about ________.A.customs and business mannersB.the workplace atmosphereC.lifestyles in different countriesD.living conditions29.Which of the following is true about Brazil?A.

But we hear little about how other industries are developing this same kind of technology.One industry heavily involved in researching and developing artificial intelligence, or AI, is agriculture. Companies are experimenting with high-tech tools that can help farmers save time and money, while reducing environment-harming chemicals.One of the companies is ecoRobotix of Switzerland. It created a robot equipped with AI and cameras to identify all plants on a farm. The robot has four wheels to carry it through the fields in search of weeds. Computer-controlled arms then lower and spray the weeds with small amounts of chemicals.Company officials say the robot can fully operate on its own for up to 12 hours a day while being powered by the sun. It uses the same kind of sensor and positioning technology used to guide driverless vehicles. A farmer can also control the equipment through a smartphone. The co-founder of ecoRobotix, Aurelien Demaurex, says the farm robot can kill weeds with 20 times less chemicals than traditional methods. This is because the system uses exactly the right amount of chemical in the exact place required to kill the weeds.Currently, farmers spread weed killers over huge areas to destroy unwanted plants.This method led to a huge industry of genetically engineered crop products created to resist chemicals. The process of changing the genetic structure of food crops has been debated for some time. Critics of genetically engineered crops believe they can harm people. Large chemical companies have been criticized for supporting genetic crop engineering in order to keep driving chemicals sales.Aurelien Demaurex says the ecoRobotix system can revolutionize farming by greatly reducing chemical usage, while operating without additional equipment or people. The company is planning to bring its robot to the market by early next year.32.which is closest in meaning to the bold faced word “weeds”_____A. seedsB. cropsC. unwanted plantsD. unwanted seeds33.Which statement is true about the robot created by ecoRobotix?_____A . it will cost farmers more money.B . it can be controlled through smartphones by farmersC.it’s powered by wind energyD.it’s already in wide use34.Why do chemical companies support genetic crop engineering?A.because genetically engineered crop can resist chemicalsB.because genetically engineered crop can grow fastC.because chemical companies want to promote chemical salesD.because chemical companies are not aware of its danger.35.which is probably the best title?A.Smart Farm EquipmentB.Agriculture in the FutureC.Genetic Crop EngineeringD.Artificial Intelligence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,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
