10、o see in their life. Santorini This is one of the most amazing places in the world. It is said to have been destroyed in the 16th century.

15、 is made of ivory.BIt is a typical Mughal style building.CIt was built by Mughal Emperor Shah as his tomb.DIt is located on the north bank of the Yamuna River.B The cola wars became a cultural phenomenon. Credit for that goes to Donald Kendall, PepsiCos brilliant former boss, who died on September 1

16、9th aged 99. A gifted salesman, he rose quickly through the ranks from his start on the bottling line to become the firms top sales and marketing executive at the young age of 35. Seven years later he was named CEO. In 1974 he invested in the Soviet Union, which allowed Pepsi to become the first Wes

17、tern product to be legally sold behind the iron curtain. By the time he resigned as boss in 1986, PepsiCos sales had shot up nearly 40 times, to $ 7.6 billion. His legacy continues to shape the industry. Mr. Kendall offered a mix of strategic vision, principled leadership and marketing talent. Two y

18、ears after taking charge he acquired Frito-Lay, a leading producer of snacks, giving PepsiCo an advantage of diversity that continues to this day. PepsiCo brought in $ 67 billion last year in sales compared to Coca-Colas $ 37 billion. But his most famous move was the all-out marketing blitz (闪电战) ag

19、ainst Coca-Cola, long the global market leader in non-alcoholic drinks. The two firms had competed for decades, but they mostly fought low-grade battles. Mr. Kendall changed that, by forcing both companies into an advertising arms race. In 1975 Coca-Cola spent around $ 25 million on advertising and

20、PepsiCo some $18 million. By 1985 those figures had shot up to $ 72 million and $ 57 million, respectively. In 1995 Pepsi outspent Coke by $112 million to $ 82 million. This was a risky strategy for both cola competitors but it paid off by helping non-alcoholic drinks win a greater share of throat.

21、Last year Coca-Cola and PepsiCo remained in the leading position as usual. Also, the cola wars benefited both companies by turning them into the worlds best marketers. Today a decades-long addiction to cut-price quantity growth has been replaced by a focus on income and profits.24What was Donald Ken

22、dalls first position in PepsiCo?ACEO. BA worker. CA salesman. DMarketing executive.25What can we learn about Cola companies from the passage?APepsiCo has always been ahead of Coca-cola in sales.BCoca-Cola preferred low-grade battles to marketing wars.CCoca-Cola bought a snack firm to enrich its prod

24、w PepsiCo got ahead of Coca-Cola in the fierce marketing wars.DTo confirm marketing wars between the Cola companies were a wise move.27What is the passage mainly about?ADonald Kendall was to blame for the cola cultural phenomenon.BDonald Kendall was the most successful boss in PepsiCo history.CDonal

25、d Kendall started the cola blitz wars and achieved great success.DDonald Kendalls marketing strategies benefited both Cola companies.C Britain is the sixth fattest country within the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). For more than a decade, several Conservative prime min

26、isters have declared obesity (肥胖) a national emergency and promised to take thorough action, only to produce disappointing plans that fall far shy of what is required. It should not have taken a disease like Covid-19 to ram home the awful consequences of the UKs obesity. Obesity, as well as its asso

27、ciated conditions of diabetes (糖尿病) and high blood pressure, is strongly associated with a higher risk of death from Covid-19 and will have undoubtedly been a factor in the UK having the highest Covid death rate in Europe. As the Prime Minister, Boris Johnsons experience of catching the virus and be

28、ing admitted to ICU has reportedly resulted in a complete change in him, who has previously prided himself on his dislike to an over-controlling state. The government is expected to set out a new strategy this week, aimed at reducing obesity levels both in the next few monthsahead of a possible seco

29、nd wave of infectionsand the longer term. This apparent change is welcome, but only if it results in a complete change in the governments approach, which doesnt rely on personal responsibility but on much tougher regulation, as with tobacco and alcohol. There is abundant evidence about what is neede

30、d to cut obesity and in recent years report after report, including from Public Health England and the former chief medical officer, have called for urgent action. Yet these calls were ignored by Conservative ministers who have seemingly put the food and drink industrys financial interests over the

31、health of the nation.28What have Conservative prime ministers done with obesity in the past ten years?AThey have denied it is a national emergency.BThey have called for immediate action on it.CThey have taken thorough steps to control it.DThey have made unsatisfying plans to reduce it.29What does th

DMake people deeply ashamed of.30What will the British government probably do next?AIt will probably issue a new strategy to cut obesity.BIt

33、will probably lay less stress on financial interests.CIt will probably set stricter limits on tobacco and alcohol.DIt will probably take action to reduce Covid-19 death rate.31Whats the best title for the passage?AObesity, an Urgent Issue in the UKBUK, a Country Suffering from Covid-19CUK, a Country

34、 Ready for a Complete ChangeDObesity, a Cause of Highest Covid Death RateD Robots are getting better at doing human jobs. Thats probably good for the economybut there are some serious downsides, too. Machines are expected to displace about 20 million manufacturing jobs across the world over the next

35、 decade, according to a report released by Oxford Economics, a global forecasting and quantitative analysis firm. That means about 8.5% of the global manufacturing workforce could be displaced by robots. The report also notes that the move to robots tends to create new jobs as fast as it automates t

36、hem; however, it could contribute to income inequality. The use of robots is on the rise: at this point, every new robot that is installed (安装) displaces 1.6 manufacturing workers on average, according to the Oxford Economic model. Robots are becoming cheaper than many human workers, in part because

37、 of the falling costs of machines. And they are increasingly capable of functioning in more complex processes and varied contexts. On top of that, the demand for manufactured goods is rising. One potential downsize to the robot revolution: automation could increase income inequality. This great disp

38、lacement will not be evenly distributed around the world, or within countries, according to the report. Our research shows that the negative effects of robotization are disproportionately (不成比例地) felt in the lower-income regions compared with higher-income regions of the same country. The workers wh

39、o drive knowledge and innovation within the manufacturing industry tend to be concentrated in larger cities, and those skills are harder to automate. Thats why urban areas will deal better with the increased automation, according to the report. On the whole, the increased use of automation will like

40、ly create new jobs at a pace comparable to the jobs that will be lost, which cancels out fears about permanent job destruction, according to the Oxford study. That said, the poorer regions that are expected to lose the most jobs will probably not benefit equally from this new job creation due to a g

41、ap in skills. That will lead to increased income inequality between cities and rural areas, as well as between regions.32What downside does the author mainly discuss?APeople will not be able to find jobs in the future.BRobots will finally take the place of people.CDisplacement by robots will increas

42、e income inequality.DRobots are becoming cheaper than many human workers.33What do the workers need to do to compete with robots in the future?ATo make robots help them with the harder work.BTo improve their innovative ability and knowledge.CTo move to larger cities or more developed countries.DTo m

43、ake their skills faster and easier to be automated.34What is the main idea of the last paragraph?AThe increased use of automation will create more jobs.BPeople neednt worry about permanent job destruction.CThe poorer countries will not benefit from automation.DThe income gap between cities and rural

44、 regions will widen.35What can we conclude from the passage?ARobots should be banned in the future because of the disadvantages.BRobots can do more and better than humans in complicated processes.CThe increasing need for manufactured goods partly contributes to robotization.DThe negative effects of

45、robotization will be evenly distributed around the world.第二节（共5小题） 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。 Life can be challenging for teens.
