On May 22, Dubai officials added to their list of futuristic accomplishments with the introduction of the world’s first robot police officer.‎ Nicknamed Robocop after the 1987 action movie,the 1.7-meter tall humanoid (类人的) robot was introduced at the 4th annual Gulf Information Security Expo and Conference. First introduced in 2011 as REEM by Barcelona-based PAL Robotics, the robot was built to entertain guests at conferences and serve as an information booth at public places. However, the forward-thinking officials of the Dubai police force saw another potential application and partnered with the Spanish company to build a version that would help improve public safety.‎ Locals and visitors can get help from Lieutenant Robocop which is currently on duty at the Dubai Mall, using the touchscreen on its chest. Armed with technology from Google and IBM’s supercomputer Watson,the “policeman” can provide visitors with directions and other information regarding the mall in one of six languages, including Arabic and English and also accept payment for any fines, like parking tickets. It can also detect criminals with an 80 percent accuracy from 100-feet away and send the information real-time to command center through its camera eyes. While Robocop cannot physically protect people in trouble, an SOS button on its touchscreen can connect them to a human member of the Dubai police force instantly. When not assisting people or seeking out lawbreakers, Robocop brings smiles to people’s faces by posing for selfies or showering them with compliments.‎ Once the robot officer has been thoroughly tested, the Smart Services Department at Dubai Police plans to “hire” more Robocops to patrol (巡逻) other public areas and also act as receptionists at police stations.‎ ‎21.Where does Robocop get its name?‎ A. From a movie. B. At a conference.‎ C. From a building. D. From Dubai officials.‎ ‎22.What was the original purpose of Robocop?‎ A. To be officials’ partner.‎ B. To help guests in a company.‎ C. To serve in Dubai police stations.‎ D. To offer entertainment and information.‎ ‎23.How can people communicate with Robocop?‎ A. By touching its screen. B. By paying some money.‎ C. By asking the mall for permission. D. By getting directions from a policeman.‎ ‎24.How does Robocop react to lawbreaking?‎ A. It fines the lawbreakers.‎ B. It physically protects the victim.‎ C. It reports the situation to a policeman.‎ D. It sends an SOS message to the company.‎ B They say if you love your job, you’ll never work a day in your life. We say if you travel for work, you’ll never have a boring commute(上下班往返) a day in your life. If the typical 9-to-5 isn’t working for you, here are some options that will pay you to travel. No matter your current skill set, you can probably do it somewhere else.‎ Represent abroad ‎ The State Department is actively hiring Foreign Service Officers, and it’s probably easier than you think to become one. You’ll have to a lot of tests, but if you pass, you’ll spend the next years of your life working around the world. A Junior Foreign Service Officer starts at $71,000 a year.‎ ‎ Teaching English as a Second Language abroad is one of the best ways to deepen understanding of another culture. There’s no need to be a certified English teacher in order to go abroad. In this program in China, soon-to-be teachers go abroad to obtain their Teaching English as a Foreign Language(TEFL) certifications. A beginning teacher in China will earn $2,500 for working six months, plus room and board.‎ ‎ A cruise ship is a floating village. Therefore, any job that you could have in a village you could have onboard a ship-even auctioneering(做拍卖师). Carnival is hiring an art auctioneer to work aboard a luxury cruise ship. The only qualifications necessary are a college degree and public speaking skills. Going…going…sold.‎ Write the rails ‎ Writers can reimagine themselves as rail-surfing Jack Kerouacs, crossing the country and writing from coast to coast on the Amtrak Writer’s Residency. The application process consists of two questions, as well as the opportunity to provide up to a 20-page writing sample. Amtrak will select 24 writers to participate in the program with the help from a panel of judges. Although the project won’t replace a full-time job, it’s really a fun opportunity. The application period for 2016 has closed, but applications will reopen in the fall.‎ ‎25.Which job requires a college degree?‎ A. Representing abroad B. Teaching English in China C. Selling art on the seas D. Writing the rails ‎26.The advertisement is intended for .‎ A. Those who are tired of their present jobs B. Those who want to have a job with traveling C. Those who just graduate from university D. Those who want to go on vacation abroad ‎27.What may Jack Kerouacs be?‎ A. Director of the Amtrak Writer’s Residency B. A sportsman devoted to rail-surfing C. An applicant of the program D. A famous writer C If you’re encouraged by the tiny house movement and think 160 square feet is just enough for your needs, you may want to contact the Academy of Construction and Design (ACAD) at IDEA Public Charter School in northeast Washington．‎ Students in the program built a micro house with a kitchen, a bathroom, a sleeping loft with space for a queen-size bed and a storage loft, all set on a trailer for mobility. The exterior (外部) of the house was part of a continuous living exhibit in 2015and was moved to the IDEA campus so students could work with builders to complete the interior earlier this year.‎ McMahon said the D.C. government’s approval to push companies to hire District residents (居民) was at odds with the school system not preparing students for careers in construction, exploring or electrical work. McMahon gathered industry and community leaders to establish ACAD in 2005 and he said 100 percent of the companies he contacted responded positively to the idea, including major firms such as JBG, Clark Construction, Hines Construction and Boston Properties.‎ ‎“When students make the connection between what they are learning a potential career, their academics improve dramatically,” said Carol Randolph, chief operating officer of the D.C. Students Construction Trades Foundation. “Some of them who didn't think college was an choice now have a better chance because their classes have become relevant to a job.”‎ ‎“We teach them life skills and explain that even if you start as a laborer, there are opportunities to move up quickly,” he said. “We rewrite the story for them and explain that they can work for a few years, make good money, get promoted, and start their own business or go to school with less debts.”‎ ‎“Parents and school advisors can be the biggest obstacles because of the negative idea of construction as a blue-collar career,” Karriem said. “I get middle-school advisors on board to talk about the opportunities this education provides. These kids are learning lifelong skills that can help them in other fields, provide them with income and allow them to take care of their homes.”‎ ‎28.What does the underlined part “at odds with” in the third paragraph mean?‎ A. Inconsistent with. B. Familiar to.‎ C. Harmonious with. D. Similar to.‎ ‎29.What is the purpose of the program of building a micro house?‎ A. To satisfy different needs of people.‎ B. To help acquire lifelong skills from the college.‎ C. To make the college more attractive.‎ D. To offer more job opportunities in colleges.‎ ‎30.What can we infer from the words of Karriem?‎ A. Students tend to choose the blue-collar career.‎ B. Parents and school advisors are wrong.‎ C. It’s hard to make the program popular.‎ D. Life skills help improve scores greatly.‎ ‎31.Which of the following may be the title of the passage?‎ A. A Micro House Program for Students B. Build a Micro House for Campus Students Soon C. Why Not Build More Tiny Houses?‎ D. Develop Lifelong Skills of Students D We talk about people being “colour-blind” but very few of us are. Even those who describe themselves as colour-blind are normally just colour lack. A strongly, colour-blind person will still be able to tell 20 different colours, compared to the 100 or so that normal-sighted people see.‎ Pingelap, a tiny island in the Pacific, is a beautiful spot but one that has a’ genetic trouble. It is known as Colour-blind Island because so many people who live on this remote island can only sec in black and white.‎ Not being able to see in colour is bad enough. But one is lander, Herrol, who’s a fisherman, also struggles in full sunlight because all he sees is a painful burnt-out image. “I find it difficult to go outside in the sun,” he says, “because when it’s sunny I cannot see to do my work.”‎ But if being truly colour-blind is rare, why is it that around 10% of the population ‎ of Pingelap live in a totally black and white world?‎ Well，we know that in 1780 the population of Pingelap was all but wiped out by a tsunami (海啸). As few as 20 people survived, one of whom was the king. It’s believed he had a genetic fault that causes colour-blindness and he passed this fault on to his many generations.‎ There is one advantage. Herrol can see well, really well, in the dark. So when it gets dark, Herrol and his friends get in their boats and hunt flying fish. They hang up flaming torches and the fish are attracted to the flames. “This type of fishing is fun,” Herrol says, “especially if we catch plenty. So even though it’s hard work we enjoy it.”‎ ‎32.What is Pingelap famous as?‎ A. A tiny island.‎ B. A beautiful island.‎ C. A mentally troubled island.‎ D. A colour-blind island.‎ ‎33.What .can we infer about Herrol?‎ A. He may stay at home when it’s sunny.‎ B. He is interested in burnt-out images.‎ C. He likes taking photos very much.‎ D. He doesn’t live in Pingelap any more.‎ ‎34.Why are about one-tenth of people in Pingelap seriously colour-blind?‎ A. Because Pingelap often suffers from tsunamis.‎ B. Because the king had an unlucky marriage.‎ C. Because the king’s genetic fault played a role.‎ D. Because the king made a serious mistake.‎ ‎35.What would be the best title for the text?‎ A. The island of colour-blindness.‎ B. The disadvantage of Herrol.‎ C. The history of Pingelap.‎ D. The advantage of colour-blindness.‎ ‎ 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Emergencies can happen anytime, anywhere, so being prepared for one is important for you and your family. 36. Sure, you can buy ready-made first aid kits (急救箱) in the store, but it is also easy to make your own.‎ Pick a good container.‎ You can buy pre-filled first aid kits, and you can also buy empty first aid kit containers. One good option is a large, translucent (半透明的), or flexible plastic container. 37. It should be easy to transport as needed to the emergency, so a handle is ideal.‎ ‎38.‎ When your child is crying about injuries on her knee, you don't want your home kit buried on the back of a closet or lost because it's not being returned to the same spot after each use.‎ Teach your family about the kit.‎ Make sure everyone in your home who is old enough to understand the function of a first aid kit knows its location and when to fetch it. For younger children, teach them where it is located, so they could show a visitor, relative, babysitter, etc. But place the kit in a location where small children can't access it, such as on a high shelf. 39.‎ Keep your kit up-to-date.‎ No one wants to fetch a first aid kit and find the bandage box empty or the pain relievers expired (过期的). 40.‎ Work with your doctor to determine what medicine should be included. Also include the physician's phone number and any important patient information.‎ A. Make your kit safely accessible.‎ B. Treat the kid's knee injuries with the kit.‎ C. This makes the materials inside visible.‎ D. Let small children know how to use the kit.‎ E. Keep track of supply amounts and expiration dates regularly.‎ F. For older children and adults, instruct them on when and how to use the kit.‎ G. Therefore, having a first aid kit is an essential part of good emergency preparation.‎ 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节， 满分 45 分）‎ 第一节: 完形填空（共 20 小题；每小题 1.5 分，满分 30 分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给各题的四个选项（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。‎ ‎ It was a foggy day.
