(A)
Nervous suspects(嫌疑犯) locked up in Britain's newest police station may feel relieved by a pleasant yellow colour on the door. If they are close to confessing a crime, the blue on the wall might tip the balance.
Gwent Police have abandoned colours such as greys and browns of the 20th-century police cell(牢房) and have used colour psychology to decorate them.
Ystrad Mynach station, which recently opened at a cost off5 million has four cells with glass doors for prisoners who suffer from claustrophobia(幽閉恐怖癥), Designers have painted the frames yellow, which researchers say is a calming colour. Other cells contain a royal blue line because psychologists believe that the colour is likely to encourage truthfulness.
The station has 31 cells, including 12 with a"live scan" system for drunken or disturbed prisoners, which detects the rise and fall of their chest. An alarm alerts officers if a prisoner's breathing stops and carries on ringing until the door is opened.
Designers and psychologists have worked for years on colour. Blue is said to suggest trust, efficiency, duty, logic, coolness, thinking and calm. It also suggests coldness and unfriendliness.It is thought that strong blues will stimulate clear thought and lighter, soft colours will calm the mind and aid concentration.
Yellow is linked with confidence, self-respect and friendliness. Get the colour wrong and it could cause fear, depression and anxiety, but the right yellow can lift spirits and self-respect.
Ingrid Collins, a psychologist who specializes in the effects of colour, said that colour was an"energy force", She said: "Blue does enhance communication but I am not sure it would enhance truthful communication.”
Yellow, she said, affected the mind. Red on the other hand, should never be considered because it could increase aggression. Mrs Collins praised the designers for using colours in the cells. Gwent is not the first British force to experiment with colour to calm down or persuade prisoners to co-operate. In the 1990s Strathclyde Police used pink in cells based on research carried out by the US Navy.
42. The expression"tip the balance" in paragraph 1 probably indicates that the blue might_________.
A. let suspects keep their balance.
B. make suspects cold and unfriendly in law court.
C. help suspects to confess their crimes.
D. enable suspects to change their attitudes to colours.
43. Which of the following colours should not be used in cells according to the passage?
A. Pink. B. Red.
C. Blue. D. Yellow.
44. Which of the following helps alert officers if someone stops breathing?
A. Royal blue lines. B. Scanning equipment.
C. Glass doors. D. Yellow frames.
45. The passage is mainly concerned with__________.
A. the relationship between colours and psychology.
B. a comparison of different functions of colours.
C. scientific ways to help criminals reform themselves in prison.
D. the use of colours in cells to affect criminals psychology.
【答案】42. C 43. B 44. B 45. D
【解析】

Different countries have different tipping customs. When you travel, you need to know how to tip in the country that you’re in; otherwise you’ll leave servers angry everywhere you go.Here are just a few guidelines to tipping around the world.
Brazil
There will always be a standard 10% service charge added to your bill, and you won’t necessarily have to tip. If you do feel like being generous, an extra 5-10% will really make your server very happy. Just remember to do this as skillfully as possible—Brazilians don’t make a big show of this.
Dubai
In Dubai it’s a rule for restaurants to charge 10% tip on all restaurant and bar bills. You can add a couple of dirhams(迪拉姆,貨幣單位)to this if you feel like it. Waiters are not paid very much in Dubai, so it is always very appreciated.
Germany
German bars and restaurants will include the tip as part of what you owe, but that’s not all you have to pay. It is a custom to round the bill up after that, usually to the euro. This can be anywhere from 5-10%. When it’s time to settle up, you won’t get a bill: your waiter tells you the total and then you tell them how much you want to pay, including your “tip”, and hand over the money.
Czech Republic
While locals in the Czech Republic don’t leave tips, that doesn’t mean you’re off the hook.Foreign tourists are definitely expected to leave some kind of tip for service—as long as you’re in a high tourist traffic area, like Prague for instance. The standard tip is 10%.
India
If you like the service, go ahead and tip your server 5-10%. You have to adjust that amount though, based on how big the meal you’re eating is. If the bill is for a small meal, and totals less than 300 rupees, tip the full 10%. If the bill is higher, tip towards the 5%.
21. In which country do customers have to tip at least 10% for the service?
A. Dubai B. India C. Germany D. Czech Republic
22. Which country has different tip cultures between citizens and foreigners?
A. Dubai B. Germany C. India D. Czech Republic
23. If your bill is 2000 rupees in India, it is proper for you to tip________ rupees.
A. 10 B. 80 C.120 D. 200
【文章大意】 文章介紹了不同國家給小費的習(xí)俗。
1. A 根據(jù)全文可知, 只有在 Dubai, 顧客至少要給 10%的小費, 故選 A。 捷克共和國的本國消費者是不給小費的, D 項錯誤。
3. D 根據(jù)第五段第一、 二句話可知捷克共和國的公民不給小費, 但是外國人一定給小費, 故選 D。
2. C 根據(jù)最后一段最后一句話, 如果消費賬單超過 300 rupees, 小費從 10%下降至 5%, 2000 rupees 的賬單的小費應(yīng)該少于 10% (200) 大于 5% (100), 故 C 項 120。

"When I was 16 years old, I was diving in Greece, but I was disappointed because I saw more plastic bags than fish.” These are the words of Boyan Slat, an engineer who designed the world's first ocean plastic cleanup system.
Every year, more than 8 million tons of plastics end up in our oceans, according to the UN Environment Programme. It is predicted that the weight of ocean plastics will match the weight of all the fish in our oceans by 2050. To prevent this from happening, in 2013 Slat created the Ocean Cleanup, an environmental non?governmental organization, and put his plan for an ocean cleanup device into action.
After years of research and develop?ment in the Netherlands, a device called System 001/B successfully started gathering plastics on October 2, 2019. The device uses a 600-meter-long C-shaped tube to gather all the floating rubbish. Unlike other cleanup methods, the system floats freely according to the direction of the waves, which allows waste to flow into and stay within the device. A sea anchor is attached to either end. This slows down the system as it floats through the water and allows the faster-moving rubbish, carried by the waves, to flow into its mouth. System 001/B can also collect waste below the surface using a 3-meter-deep skirt(擋板)attached to the end. After being gathered, the trash will be dragged back to shore by boat and recycled.
Right now, the system operates in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, an area that is 3 times the size of France. Once operational, the Ocean Cleanup expects a full fleet to be able to clear 50% of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch in 5 years.
"It remains to be seen whether this dream will become a reality, but it is undeniable that humanity must work together to reduce our plastic use and repair the damage our waste has caused," Slat said. "We are starting to see a young generation that gets it and is excited about a sustainable (可持續(xù)的)future, but the question still comes down to: Are we going fast enough, and how much damage will have been done before we get there?"
12. The underlined word “match” in Paragraph 2 probably means “_________”.
A. compare B. equal
C. measure D. cover
13. Why did Boyan Slat create the Ocean Cleanup?
A. To collect ocean plastic waste.
B. To help to invent System 001/B.
C. To protect the living environment of fish.
D. To do research on the ocean environment.
14. What can we know about System 001/B?
A. It can collect and recycle garbage at the same time.
B. It can only gather ocean waste which floats on the water.
C. It aims to clear up the Great Pacific Garbage Patch in five years.
D. It is an ocean-cleaning device which has already been put to use.
15. What does Slat want to tell us according to the last paragraph?
A. Young generations care less about the environment.
B. The future ecology of the oceans is deeply worrying.
C. People should work hard to decrease plastic pollution.
D. It's quite difficult to repair the damage to the environment.
【文章大意】這是一篇說明文。文章介紹了海洋塑料污染嚴(yán)重,工程師斯萊特設(shè)計了世界上第一個海洋塑料清理系統(tǒng)。一種名為System 001/B的裝置于2019年10月2日成功地開始收集塑料。目前,該系統(tǒng)在太平洋垃圾場運行。人類必須共同努力,減少塑料的使用,并修復(fù)我們的廢物造成的破壞。
12.B 詞句猜測題。根據(jù)第二段中的Every year, more than 8 million tons of plastics end up in our oceans, according to the UN Environment Programme.(根據(jù)聯(lián)合國環(huán)境規(guī)劃署的數(shù)據(jù),每年有超過800萬噸的塑料最終進(jìn)入我們的海洋。)及match前的the weight of ocean plastics(海洋塑料的重量)及其后的the weight of all the fish in our oceans(我們海洋中所有魚類的重量)可知每年都有許多的塑料進(jìn)入海洋,根據(jù)邏輯推理知海洋塑料的重量將會與魚類的重量相等,可推測知match在此處意為“相等”,故選B項。
13.A 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中的It is predicted that the weight of ocean plastics will match the weight of all the fish in our oceans by 2050. To prevent this from happening, in 2013 Slat created the Ocean Cleanup(據(jù)預(yù)測,到 2050 年,海洋塑料的重量將與我們海洋中所有魚類的重量相匹配。為防止這種情況,Slat創(chuàng)立了The Ocean Cleanup)可知Slat創(chuàng)立The Ocean Cleanup是為了收集海洋塑料垃圾,防止塑料重量與魚類重量相等的狀況發(fā)生。故選A項。
14.D 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段中的a device called System 001/B successfully started gathering plastics on October 2, 2019.(一種名為System 001/B的設(shè)備于2019年10月2日成功開始收集塑料)可知System 001/B是一種已經(jīng)投入使用的海洋清潔設(shè)備。故選D項。
15.C 推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段中的it is undeniable that humanity must work together to reduce our plastic use and repair the damage our waste has caused(不可否認(rèn)的是,人類必須共同努力減少塑料的使用并修復(fù)我們的廢物造成的破壞。)可知Slat想傳達(dá)出人們應(yīng)該努力減少塑料污染。故選C項。

Your Next Nurse Could Be a Robot
Dr. De Momi, of the Politecnico di Milano (Italy), led an international team that trained a robot to imitate natural human actions. _____82_____ Over time this should lead to improvements in safety during surgeries because unlike their human counterparts robots do not tire and can complete an endless series of precise movements. The goal is not to remove human skill from the operating room, but to complement it with a robot’s particular skills and benefits.
“As a roboticist, I am convinced that robotic (co)workers and collaborators will definitely change the work market, but they won’t steal job opportunities. _____83_____” De Momi explains.
To conduct their experiment De Momi’s team photographed a human being conducting numerous reaching motions, in a way similar to handing instruments to a surgeon. These camera captures were input into the neural network of the robotic arm, which is crucial to controlling movements. Next a human operator guided the robotic arm in imitating the reaching motions that the human subject had initially performed. Although there was not a perfect overlap between the robotic and human actions, they were broadly similar.
_____84_____ These observers determined whether the actions of the robotic arms were “biologically inspired,” which would indicate that their neural networks had effectively learned to imitate human behavior. About 70% of the time this is exactly what the human observers concluded.
These results are promising, although further research is necessary to confirm or refine De Momi’s conclusions. If robotic arms can indeed imitate human behavior, it would be necessary to build conditions in which humans and robots can cooperate effectively in high stress environments like operating rooms. _____85_____ De Momi’s work is part of the growing field of healthcare robotics, which has the potential to change the way we receive health care sooner rather than later.
A. This future may not be as far away as we think.
B. Robots can’t successfully imitate doctors’ motions in the operating room.
C. Finally, several humans observed as the robotic arm made numerous motions.
D. The nursing assistant for your next trip to the hospital will still be a robot instead of human beings.
E. They will just allow us to decrease workload and achieve better performances in several tasks.
F. His work indicates that humans and robots can effectively cooperate during high-risk events such as surgeries.

One possible version:
Dear Editor,
I’m writing to offer some suggestions on the theme campaign of “Green Campus”. The following is what I have worked out for saving energy, the purpose of which is to make our school a better place to study and live in.
As a top priority, it’s necessary for us to take effective measures to protect our campus from pollution and waste. For example, we can call on students to switch off taps and lights after using them to save water and electricity. Secondly, I really suggest building a botanical garden in the school, for not only can it make our campus more beautiful and lively, but also provide us with a close contact with nature so that we may be deeply aware of the importance of energy-saving and protection of environment.
I would appreciate it very much if you could take my advice into account and I would be proud if my advice can be of help to save energy and build a greener campus.
