there for tourists to visit the city old centre?A.5.B.4.C.3.D.2.22.Where would you go to learn more about local life?A.Amsterdam Brown Cafe.B.Amsterdam canal ring.C.Civic Guards Gallery.D.The National Maritime Museum.23.Where does the passage probably come from?A.A fiction.B.A textbook.C.A travel guide.D.A science magazine.B BQuietly siting there reading,I found myself suddenly listening to the train guard s announcement.Traintravelers will surely agree that when the guard makes an announcement,whether its the recorded message orthe guards message,few people listen to it,because it s often quite dull or hard to understand.This one wasdifferent.I noticed that other passengers appeared to be listening,too.Not only that,everyone was smiling!Why was so much attention being paid to this message?At best I can recall,the guard said somethingalong these lines,“Good Morning Ladies,Gentlemen and Children,this is the 7:35 a.m.from Penrith toCentral and youll be pleased to know that we are right on time.And what a lovely morning it is in Sydneytoday.The sun is shining,birds are singing,and alls right with the world.I trust you have a great daywherever youre going.Thanks for catching my train this morning and I hope to see you again soo n.”Quite a few people(obviously previous strangers)started talking to one another about the guardsexcellent message and how good it had made everyone feel.I started thinking about this,and then I found theyoung guard and said“Were you the guard on the 7:35 a.m.from Penrith?”The guard seemed a bit stunned atfirst,replying,“Yes,yyyyes.”“Well,I really appreciate your announcement.Thank you for your extremelygood message,which gave me and the other passengers such a good start to the day.Please keep doing it.”Isaid.There are two messages for me in what happened that day.Firstly,when people are happy in their work,it shows in what they do and say.Secondly,the story attaches much importance to the benefits thataccumulate from thanking people for something they ve done,particularly when it s not expected.Can youimagine the conversation that guard would have when he got home?24.Why do few train travelers listen to the announcements?A.They usually feel sleepy.B.The messages are unattractive.C.The guards voice is not clear.D.They are absorbed in books.25.What does the underlined word“stunned”in Paragraph 3 mean?A.Patient.B.Cautious.C.Excited.D.Surprised26.What might the guard talk about with his family when he got home?A.The beautiful weather.B.The recorded message.C.The train from Penrith.D.The unexpected appreciation.27.Which of he following can be the best title for the text?A.A Boring Train Story.B.An Intelligent GuardC.A Different Train Announcement.D.A Lovely Morning in Sydney.C CIts 3 oclock and youve been hard at work.As you sit at your desk,a strong desire for chocolateovercomes you.You try to busy yourself to make it go away.But it doesnt.Here is another situation.Perhaps you are not feeling well.The only thing you want to eat is a big bowl of chicken soup,like yourmom used to make when you were sick as a child.Food cravings are a strong desire for a specific type offood.And they are normal.Scientists at the website How Stuff Works compare hunger and cravings this way.Hunger is a fairlysimple connection between the stomach and the brain.They even call it simply“stomach hunger.”When ourstomachs burn up all of the food we have eaten,a hormone(荷尔蒙)sends a message to one part of the brainfor more food,which regulates our most basic body functions such as thirst,hunger and sleep.The brain thenproduces a chemical to start the appetite and you eat.Hunger is a function of survival.A craving is more complex.It activates(使活跃)brain areas related to emotion,memory and reward.These are the same areas of the brain activated during drug-craving studies.So,some scientists call foodcraving“mind hunger.”People often crave foods that are high in fat and sugar.Foods that are high in fat orhigh in sugar produce chemicals in the brain.These chemicals give us feelings of pleasure.In a 2017 study,researchers at Cambridge University found that“dieting or restricted eating generallyincreases the possibility of food craving.”So,the more you deny yourself a food that you want,the more youmay crave it.However,fasting is a bit different.They found that eating no food at all for a short period oftime lessened food cravings.So,the next time you crave something very specific,know that your brain may be more to blame thanyour stomach.28.What is the function of the first paragraph?A.To deepen the understanding of hunger.B.To lead to the topic of the whole passage.C.To report the discovery of craving study.D.To remind readers of their own special food.29.What do we learn about food craving?A.It means the stomach functions well.B.It ensures a person survives hunger.C.It shows food is linked to feelings.D.It proves the brain decides your appetite.30.Whats the likely result of dieting?A.The increase of food desire.B.The decrease of chemicals.C.The refusal of fat and sugar.D.The disappearance of appetite.31.What does the passage mainly discuss?A.The findings of food craving.B.What hunger is all about.C.The functions of brain areas.D.What dieting may bring us.D DImagine a cat that does not need someone to clean up after it keeps an older person company and helpthem remember to take their medicine.That is the shared dream ofthe toy maker Hasbro and scientists atBrown University in Providence,Rhode Island.The researchers received a$3-million-dollar award from theNational Science Foundation for a special project.They want to find ways to add artificial intelligence,orA.I.,to Hasbros“Joy for All”robotic cat.The cat has already been for sale for two years.Though priced over 1,000 dollars,it sold quite well.Itwas meant to act as a“companion”for older people.Now the project is aimed at developing additionalabilities for the cat.Researchers at Browns Humanity-Centered Robotics Initiative are working to decidewhich activities older adults may need the most.They hope to make the cat perform a small number ofactivities very well.Such activities include finding lost objects and reminding the person to take medicine orvisit their doctor.They also want to keep the cost down to just a few hundred dollars.It is an idea that has appealed to Jeanne Elliott.Her 93-year-oldmother Mary Derr lives with her inSouth Kingstown.Derr has dementia(痴呆).The Joy for All cat that Elliott bought this year has become atrue companion for Derr.The cat stays with Derr and keeps her calm while Eliot is at work.Elliott said arobotic cat that helps her mother to remember to take her medicine and be careful when she walks would begreater.The researchers are trying to learn how the improved cats will complete helpful activities and how theywill communicate.They say that they do not want a talking cat,however.Instead they are trying to design acat that can move its head in a special way to successfully communicate its message.In the end,they hope tocreate an exchange between the human and the cat in which the human feels the cat needs them.By doing so,the researchers hope they can even help prevent feelings of loneliness and sadness among elderly people.32.Whats the purpose of the project?A.To relieve the pain of the elderly.B.To promote the sales of a medicine.C.To help make the robotic cat smarter.D.To invent a robotic cat for the elderly.33.Compared with the old model,the new robotic cat will be.A.cheaperB.smallerC.more talkativeD.more expensive34.What does Paragraph 3 intend to tell us?A.The more functions of the cat,the better.B.The cat gives much help to the elderly.C.There is no cure for dementia at present.D.Mary Derr would have died without the cat.35.What can we infer from the last paragraph?A.A talking cat is quite popular among the elderly.B.Feelings of sadness among the elderly are unavoidable.C.Each family can afford such a cat in the future.D.The feeling of being needed is vital to the elderly.第二节(共 5 5 小题;每小题 1.51.5 分，满分 7.57.5 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，选项中有两项为多余选项。We all have to make decisions all the time,and we havean abundance of choices,ranging from tinyissues to vital ones.Unfortunately,people often find it hard
