Responsible for collecting waste, the drone will begin operations in Dubai Marina in November after a year of trials with local partner Ecocoast.‎ According to RanMarine, the WasteShark is available in both autonomous and remote-controlled models. Measuring just over five feet by three-and-a-half feet(1.5 meters by 1.1 meter)，it can carry up to 352 pounds of rubbish(159.6 kg)and has an operational battery life of 16 hours.‎ By 2016 there were approximately 150 million tons of plastic in the world's oceans. One paper from December 2014 estimated that over a quarter of a million tons of ocean plastic pollution was afloat.‎ ‎"WasteShark also has the abilities to gather air and water quality data, remove chemicals out of the water such as oil，and heavy metals，and scan the seabed to read its depth and outlines，"said Oliver Cunningham, one of the co-founders of RanMarine. "Fitted with a collision-avoidance system, the drone uses laser imaging detection and ranging technology to detect an object in its path and stop or back up if the object approaches."‎ ‎"Our drones are designed to move through a water system, whether it's around the perimeter(周边) or through the city itself. The drones are that last line of defense between the city and the open ocean," added Cunningham. "WasteSharks are operating in Dubai, South Africa and the Netherlands and cost $ 17,000 for the remote-controlled model and just under $ 23,000 for the autonomous model."‎ Dubai-based operator Ecocoast has two WasteShark drones. Co-founder Dana Liparts says they will clean waterfronts for clients including hotels and environmental authorities and that Ecocoast' intention is to have the collected rubbish recycled or upcycled. However, Liparts argues that cleaning waterways doesn't have a one-size-fits-all solution and requires a combination of new technology, preventative measures and changing people's attitudes towards littering.‎ ‎4. What do we know about the WasteShark?‎ A. It can frighten sharks away. B. It is an ocean explorer.‎ C. It is a rubbish collector. D. It can catch fish instead of people.‎ ‎5. What does Paragraph 4 mainly tell us?‎ A. The causes of ocean pollution. B. The dangers of using plastics.‎ C. The severity of ocean garbage pollution. D. The importance of ocean protection.‎ ‎6. What will the WasteShark do with an approaching object?‎ A. Avoid crashing into it. B. Break it into pieces.‎ C. Swallow it. D. Fly over it.‎ ‎7. Which of the following ideas does Liparts agree with?‎ A. The WasteShark should be used more widely.‎ B. More measures should be taken to make water clean.‎ C. The production cost of WasteSharks should be reduced.‎ D. People should take a positive attitude to new technology.‎ ‎【答案】4. C 5. C 6. A 7. B ‎【解析】‎ 本文属于说明文，介绍一种水上无人机可以用于清理浮在水面上的垃圾。‎ ‎【4题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第二段Responsible for collecting waste, the drone will begin operations in Dubai Marina in November after a year of trials with local partner Ecocoast.可知，这种无人机是用来清理垃圾的，故选C。‎ ‎【5题详解】‎ 主旨大意题。根据第四段By 2016 there were approximately 150 million tons of plastic in the world's oceans. One paper from December 2014 estimated that over a quarter of a million tons of ocean plastic pollution was afloat.可知，预计到2016年，海洋里会有1.5亿吨垃圾，估计约有25万吨垃圾漂浮在海洋上，故可知，本段主要讲述海洋垃圾的严重性，故选C。‎ ‎【6题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第五段Fitted with a collision-avoidance system, the drone uses laser imaging detection and ranging technology to detect an object in its path and stop or back up if the object approaches."可知，配备防碰撞系统，无人机使用激光来探测物体，用测距技术来探测前方是否有物体，如果探测到物体，无人机就会停下来或者后退，故选A。‎ ‎【7题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据最后一段However, Liparts argues that cleaning waterways doesn't have a one-size-fits-all solution and requires a combination of new technology, preventative measures and changing people's attitudes towards littering.可知，这种无人机并非解决水上垃圾污染的万全之策，需要多措并举，才能达到目的，故选B。‎ C Online programs to fight depression are already commercially available. While they sound efficient and cost-saving, a recent study reports that they’re not effective, primarily because depressed patients are not likely to engage with them or stick with them.‎ The study looked at computer-assisted cognitive(认知的) behavioral therapy (CBT) and found that it was no more effective in treating depression than the usual care patients receive from a primary care doctor.‎ Traditional CBT is considered an effective form of talk therapy for depression, helping people challenge negative thoughts and change the way they think in order to change their mood and behaviors. However, online CBT programs have been gaining popularity, with the attraction of providing low-cost help wherever someone has access to a computer.‎ A team of researchers from the University of York conducted a randomized(随机的) control trial with 691 depressed patients from 83 physician practices across England. The patients were split into three groups: one group received only usual care from a physician while the other two groups received usual care from a physician plus one of computerized CBT programs. Participants were balanced across the three groups for age, sex, educational background, severity and duration of depression, and use of antidepressants(抗抑郁药).‎ After four months, the patients using the computerized CBT programs had no improvement in depression levels over the patients who were only getting usual care from their doctors.‎ ‎“It’s an important, cautionary note that we shouldn’t get too carried away with the idea that a computer system can replace doctors and therapists.” says Christopher Dowrick, a professor of primary medical care at the University of Liverpool. “We do still need the human touch or the human interaction, particularly when people are depressed.”‎ ‎“Being depressed can mean feeling in your own small, negative, dark world,” Dowrick says. Having a person, instead of a computer, reach out to you is particularly important in combating ‎ that sense of isolation. “When you’re emotionally vulnerable(脆弱的), you’re even more in need of a caring human being.” he says.‎ ‎8. Why have online CBT programs been increasingly popular?‎ A. Because of their easy and inexpensive access by patients.‎ B. Because of their effectiveness in fighting depression.‎ C Because of their recommendation by primary care doctors.‎ D. Because of their attraction of changing mood and behavior.‎ ‎9. What is the conclusion of the experiment done by researchers at the University of York?‎ A. The online programs are more advanced than regular care from physicians.‎ B. The combination of traditional CBT and computerized CBT is most effective.‎ C. Online CBT programs are as ineffective as regular care from physicians.‎ D. Online CBT programs have no advantages over regular care from physicians.‎ ‎10. Which of the following can best convey Professor Dowrick’s advice on online programs?‎ A. They should be used to help people touch these patients.‎ B. They should not be ignored in primary care.‎ C. Their effectiveness should not be overestimated.‎ D. Their use should be encouraged by doctors.‎ ‎11. What is more important to an emotionally vulnerable person?‎ A. A positive state of mind. B. An advanced CBT program.‎ C. A devoted doctor. D. Human interaction.‎ ‎【答案】8. A 9. D 10. C 11. D ‎【解析】‎ 这是一篇说明文。本文主要说明了对抗抑郁症的在线项目已经商业化了。虽然它们听起来很有效，而且节省成本，但最近的一项研究报告称，它们并不有效，主要是因为抑郁症患者不太可能与它们接触或坚持。文章说明了一项随机对照试验的过程和结果，以及相关人员对计算机辅助认知行为疗法（CBT）的看法。‎ ‎【8题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第三段中However, online CBT programs have been gaining popularity, with the attraction of providing low-cost help wherever someone has access to a computer.‎ 可知在线CBT程序已变得越来越流行，其吸引人之处在于，只要有人可以访问计算机，便可以提供低成本的帮助。由此可知，网络CBT项目越来越受欢迎因为它们容易获得，而且价格低廉。故选A。‎ ‎【9题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第二段The study looked at computer-assisted cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and found that it was no more effective in treating depression than the usual care patients receive from a primary care doctor.可知该研究对计算机辅助认知行为疗法（CBT）进行了研究，发现该疗法在治疗抑郁症方面并不比从初级保健医生那里获得的常规护理更有效。由此可知，约克大学研究人员的实验结论表明在线CBT项目与医生的常规护理相比没有优势。故选D。‎ ‎【10题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“It’s an important, cautionary note that we shouldn’t get too carried away with the idea that a computer system can replace doctors and therapists.” says Christopher Dowrick, a professor of primary medical care at the University of Liverpool. 可知“这是一个重要的警告，我们不应该被计算机系统可以取代医生和治疗师的想法冲昏头脑。”利物浦大学初级医疗保健教授Christopher Dowrick说。分析选项可推知，C选项“在线课程的效力不应被高估”符合Dowrick教授的观点。故选C。‎ ‎【11题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据最后一段中"When you’re emotionally vulnerable (脆弱的), you’re even more in need of a caring human being.” he says.可知“当你情绪脆弱时，你更需要一个有爱心的人。”他说。由此可知，四。对一个感情脆弱的人来说，人际交往更重要。故选D。‎ D When you were at school, the last thing you probably wanted to do was to spend your weekends going to work. There was homework to do, sport to play and fun to have. But our parents probably persuaded us to find a job to earn some money and get some life experience. When I was a teenager I had a paper round: delivering newspapers to people’s homes.‎ Today in the UK you are allowed to work from the age of 13, and many children do take up part-time jobs. It’s one of those things that are seen almost as a rite of passage (成人仪式) .It’s a taste of independence and sometimes a useful thing to put on your CV (简历). Teenagers agree that it teaches valuable lessons about working with adults and also about managing their own ‎ money.‎ Some research has shown that not taking up a Saturday or holiday job could be deleterious to a person later on. A 2015 study by the UK Commission on Employment and Skills found that not participating in part-time work at school age had been blamed by employers’ organizations for young adults being ill-prepared for full-time employment, but despite this, recent statistics have shown that the number of schoolchildren in the UK with a part-time job has fallen by a fifth in the past five years.‎ So does this mean that British teenagers are now afraid of hard work? Probably not. Some experts feel that young people feel going out to work will affect their performance at school and they are under some pressure now to study hard and get good exam result and a good job in the long term. However, Geoff Barton, general secretary of the Association of School and College Leaders, told BBC News that “Properly regulated part-time work is a good way of helping young people learn skills that they will need in their working lives.” In reality, it’s all about getting the right balance between doing part-time work and having enough time to study and rest.‎ Many young people actually want to work because it gives them a sense of freedom. One 13-year-old girl called Rachel, who has a Saturday job in a shop, told the BBC that “I enjoy my job because I’m earning money and it helps me socialize with people I work with.” That seems like something worth getting up for a Saturday morning. Did you do a part-time job when you were at school?‎ ‎12. What can we conclude from Para 2?‎ A. Students taking up part-time jobs are more independent.‎ B. Taking up part-time jobs can help students save money.‎ C. Taking up part-time jobs is good for students in many ways.‎ D. Children over 13 in the UK must take up part-time jobs.‎ ‎13. The underlined word “deleterious” in Para 3 means _________.‎ A. important B. harmful C. threatening D. beneficial ‎14. Which of the following might Geoff Barton agree with?‎ A. Students with good grades and no study pressure can do part-time jobs.‎ B. Students should put all their energies into their studies.‎ C. The more part-time jobs they do, the more beneficial it is for students.‎ D. It is good for students to do part-time jobs as long as they are proper.‎ ‎15. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text?‎ A. Should schoolchildren have part-time jobs?‎ B. What kind of part-time job should schoolchildren do?‎ C. What benefits can part-time jobs bring to schoolchildren?‎ D. Why do British schoolchildren show less interest in part-time jobs?‎ ‎【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. A ‎【解析】‎ ‎【分析】‎ 这是一篇说明文。本文讲述了学生兼职对学习的影响。由于担心兼职增长会影响他们的学业成绩，很多学生选择不兼职，导致兼职的人数下降。但是兼职是可以增加学生的社会经历的，有利于学生增长见识。‎ ‎【12题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据第二段中Teenagers agree that it teaches valuable lessons about working with adults and also about managing their own money.可知青少年一致认为，它教会了与成年人一起工作和管理自己的钱的宝贵经验。由此可推知，从事兼职工作在很多方面对学生有好处。故选C。‎ ‎【13题详解】‎ 词义猜测题。根据后文A 2015 study by the UK Commission on Employment and Skills found that not participating in part-time work at school age had been blamed by employers’ organizations for young adults being ill-prepared for full-time employment,可知英国就业与技能委员会2015年的一项研究发现，雇主组织认为，在上学年龄不参加兼职工作，是年轻人对全职工作准备不足的原因，由此可推知不占用周六周日来工作，可能会对年轻人今后的发展有害。故划线单词意思为“有害的”。故选B。‎ ‎【14题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据第四段中However, Geoff Barton, general secretary of the Association of School and College Leaders, told BBC News that “Properly regulated part-time work is a good way of helping young people learn skills that they will need in their working lives.”可知学校和学院领导协会的秘书长Geoff Barton告诉BBC新闻，“‎ 适当规范的兼职工作是帮助年轻人学习他们在工作中需要的技能的好方法”。由此可推知，Geoff Barton 认为学生适当做兼职工作是有益的。故选D。‎ ‎【15题详解】‎ 主旨大意题。根据最后一段中Did you do a part-time job when you were at school?可知你上学时做过兼职吗？结合文章主要内容为讲述了学生兼职对学习的影响。由于担心兼职增长会影响他们的学业成绩，很多学生选择不兼职，导致兼职的人数下降。但是兼职是可以增加学生的社会经历的，有利于学生增长见识。故A选项“学生应该做兼职吗？”符合文章题目。故选A。‎ ‎【点睛】隐含意义推理判断题。这类题的题干中常含有：infer/suggest/imply/conclude/intend/purpose/be likely to等标志性词语。解决这类问题时要理解文章潜在的含义和作者所给的提示。同时，要对文章的含义和作者的暗示作出合理的猜测和推断。如第一小题，根据第二段中Teenagers agree that it teaches valuable lessons about working with adults and also about managing their own money.可知青少年一致认为，它教会了与成年人一起工作和管理自己的钱的宝贵经验。由此可推知，从事兼职工作在很多方面对学生有好处。故选C。‎ 第二节 (共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) ‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ One of the great benefits of being able to record sound is to make books available for listening.

C ‎【解析】‎ 本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述了有声书指的是大声朗读和录音的书，可以在某种播放器上听。文章说明了有声读物给人们带来的一些便利，以及有声读物的一些优点。‎ ‎【16题详解】‎ 根据上文As sound technology has changed, audio books have changed, as well.(随着声音技术的变化，有声读物也发生了变化)以及后文Now, books are also available on audio tape or CD.(现在，可以通过录音磁带或者CD来读书籍)说明除了直接读书，人们也可以直接听书。故A选项“他们不再只是有声的”符合上下文语境，故选A。‎ ‎【17题详解】‎ 结合上文Talking books are books created for people who have sight problems.(有声书是为视力有问题的人设计)以及Many visually damaged people are able to receive players for free.可知许多视觉受损的人可以免费收到播放器。由此可知，这些给视力有问题的人准备的播放器，可以让这些人独立完成播放有声书，不需要他人的帮助。故G选项“这些播放器使他们能够独立地播放他们的有声书，而不需要有视力的人的帮助”符合上下文语境，故选G。‎ ‎【18题详解】‎ 根据后文So the visually damaged person has a multi-use machine.‎ 可知所以视觉受损的人有一个多功能的机器。由此可知这些有声书播放器也有别的功能，如播放音乐CD。故B选项“许多有声书播放器也会播放音乐CD”符合上下文语境，故选B。‎ ‎【19题详解】‎ 根据后文Some are even read in the form of a play, in which different actors take the parts of the characters in the book.可知有些书甚至以戏剧的形式阅读，不同的演员在书中扮演不同的角色。由此可知，有声书配有演员的朗读。故D选项“许多有声书还配有著名演员朗读”符合上下文语境，故选D。‎ ‎【20题详解】‎ 根据后文Those who feel they do not have time to enjoy the pleasure of a good book may find audio books to be the next best thing.可知那些觉得自己没有时间享受好书带来的乐趣的人可能会发现有声读物是下一个最好的选择。由此可知，有声书适合那些没有时间阅读好书的忙碌人士，故C选项“有声书很受旅行者和忙碌人士的欢迎”符合上下文语境，故选C。‎ 第二部分 语言运用 (共两节，满分30分) ‎ 第一节 (共15小题：每小题1分，满分15分) ‎ 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ Frey is on her way to the Pottery (陶器) Workshop in Shanghai.

Meanwhile, one child is chatting online with one school friend while texting another. The other is playing a video game with a friend on the other side of the city at the same time. Each member of the family is totally absorbed in his or her own piece of technology.‎ According to some experts, the effect of technology on human relationships is worrying as technology becomes a substitute for face-to-face human relationships. It appears to be the case that many people would much rather spend time with their electronic gadgets(电子产品) than with one another. Young people say it is difficult to get their parents’ attention and they have to compete with smartphones, tablets and other technology.‎ However, a report from the Pew Internet and American Life Project offers a more helpful and encouraging view, suggesting that far from replacing human contact, technology can actually better family relationships. Just over half of the 2,253 people surveyed agreed that technology had enabled them to increase their contact with distant family members and 47 percent said it had improved the communication with the people they lived with. Moreover, even the closest members of families need time away from each other at some point to seek their own interests. Family members who might otherwise have sat in separate rooms can now be in the same one while still occupying a different mental space.‎ Look back at our typical family scene above. Is it any different from four people reading their own books? Or is it driving families apart? Where technology will lead us remains to be seen. Yet there is no need to worry. As a matter of fact how it affects our family relationships depends on our attitude toward technology.‎ ‎_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎【答案】Nowadays family members are often found lost in their own electronic products(要点1). Some experts fear that technology can affect family relationship for lack of face to face communication(要点2). However, a report has found technology benefits family bonds in that it makes members closer and provides private mental space as well(要点3). Actually, not technology itself but people’s attitude towards it influences family relations(要点4).‎ ‎【分析】‎ 这是一篇议论文。文章的主要结构为分-总。有的专家认为科技会影响家人的关系，但又有报道称科技对人们有益而无害，就此问题作者给出了自己的看法。‎ ‎【详解】第一段讲述目前大多数家庭存在的现象，可用到的词汇或句型有：now, at present, nowadays, phenomenon, be lost in等。第二段讲述一些专家认为因为缺乏面对面的交流，科技会对家庭成员的关系有影响，可用到的词汇或句型有：face-to-face, communication, harmful, have a lack of等。第三段讲述一项报道称科技对家庭成员的关系有好处，可以增进联系并提供私人空间，可用到的词汇或短语有：however, benefit, beneficial, closer, private space, provide, family bonds等。最后一段讲述作者认为是人对科技的态度对家庭关系有影响，可用到的词汇或句型有：not…but…, attitude to/towards, influence, affect等。‎ ‎【点睛】[高分句型一]‎ Nowadays family members are often found buried in their own electronic products. 如今，家庭成员常常被发现沉浸在自己的电子产品里。be buried in埋头于；专心于。‎ ‎[高分句型二]‎ Some experts fear that the family relationship can be affected due to lack of face to face communication. 一些专家担心，由于缺乏面对面的交流，家庭关系可能会受到影响。宾语从句使用了被动语态，due to由于。‎ 第四部分 附加题 (每小题1分，共5分)‎ 请从下面方框中选择一个单词，使句子意思完整。每个空格填写一个单词。‎ ‎48.
