13、 allows you to look up definitions of words even as youre reading things in other apps on your device. The benefit of this app over others is that you can sort your saved words into folders or categories. Unfortunately, one of the major downsides (缺点) is that there is no thesaurus or offline diction

17、minute around the world. Plastic waste, a material that can take centuries or more to disappear, is causing irreparable damage to the planet. However, plastic waste generated in many countries typically ends up in open, uncontrolled landfills (垃圾填埋池) most of which eventually enters the ocean either

18、transported by wind or through waterways.Now, Nzambi Matee, a 29-year-old woman from Nairobi, Kenya, is dealing with this global crisis by recycling bags, containers, and other waste products into bricks used for construction projects. Before launching her company, Gjenge Makers, Matee worked as an

19、oil-industry engineer. After encountering plastic waste along Nairobis streets, she decided to quit her job and created a small lab, testing sand and plastic combinations. Matee eventually received a scholarship to study in the materials lab at the University of Colorado Boulder, where she ultimatel

20、y developed a prototype (原型) for the machine that now produces the new bricks.Made from a combination of plastic and sand, the bricks have a melting point higher than 350C and are more durable than concrete bricks. Matee and her team source much of the raw product from factories and recyclers, and s

21、ometimes its free, which allows the company to reduce the price point on the product and make it more affordable for schools and homeowners.There is that waste recyclers cannot process anymore. That is what we get, Matee said. Her factory produces 1,500 bricks each day, made from a mix of different

22、kinds of plastic. These are high-density polyethylene, used in milk and shampoo bottles; low-density polyethylene, often used for sandwich bags; and polypropylene, often used for ropes.

27、r, not much quicker than a quick walk. But relief is in sight. On April 1st, state lawmakers agreed to introduce road charges, making New York the first big American city to do so. By next year vehicles will have to pay to enter Manhattan south of 60th Street.The details of the new rule, including h

28、ow much drivers will have to pay, how they will pay and how often they will pay, have yet to be decided. A traffic mobility review board will be set up to work all this out. New Yorkers living in the fee zone who make less than $60,000 a year will be exempt (豁免权). Other drivers, including motorcycli

29、sts, the city s civil servants, disabled drivers and the trucking industry, all want discounts or exemptions, which might not be a good sign.If done right, road pricing could be expanded beyond Manhattan. New York can learn from other cities. Singapore, for instance, which has had pricing for decade

Stockholm exempted too many vehicles, which caused a drop in revenues (收入).Other cities considering road charges, including Los Angele

35、that examines shoppers movements and facial expressions for surprise, dissatisfaction, confusion or hesitation. When a shopper walked to the end of an aisle (走廊) only to return with confusion to a bookshelf, the software immediately messaged clerks, who went to help. Sales rose by a tenth.This could

36、 be a chance, some say, for physical retailers (零售商) to trim the advantage that data have long given online sellers. A race is on to work out how best to collect and use emotions data, be it to improve packaging, displays, music, or the content, says Rana June, chief executive of a firm in New York

37、called Lightwave. It measures shoppers emotions for consumer-goods firms.Not everyone is impressed. Nielsen, a consumer research company, views using technology to work out shoppers emotions unfavorably. It is a little annoying, says Ricardo Gutierrez, head of shopper insights at Nielsen Colombia in

38、 Bogota.But it is much cheaper. Nielsen charges roughly $10,000 to interview 25 shoppers about three products. Angus.ai, the Paris startup behind the technology, charges just 59 ($66) a month per camera. Whats more, conventional market research can mislead. People typically edit responses to make th

39、emselves sound sensible, when purchases are often driven by subconscious (潜意识地) emotions. And surveys can also ask the wrong questions - such as how much people like a product when what really matters is whether, say, it makes them feel attractive.The notion of retail therapy (疗法), consumers driven

40、to spend when they are feeling blue, is an obvious example of shoppings emotional side. Whichever store is the first to work out how to spot mildly depressed customers could make big money.32.

What is the authors attitude to Angus.ais technology?A. Skeptical. B. Supportive. C. Tolerant. D. Conservative.35. Why

42、is retail therapy mentioned in the last paragraph?A. To prove shopping is mood-driven. B. To predict the future of physical retail.C. To introduce different types of shoppers. D. To explain the drawbacks of overconsumption.EThe many benefits of sharing jokes as a familyA well-chosen joke can have a

43、big impact when speaking to a crowd or attempting to redirect a tense meeting. _36_ Our family started regularly enjoying jokes when my son began sharing the Joke of the Day read on the morning announcements at his school with us at dinner. A burst of laughter prevents us from complaining about the

46、ot a door? When its ajar (半开着).Jokes encourage reading and learning. Many parents and teachers report that joke books help motivate their reluctant or struggling readers to read more. Since jokes, by design, are for sharing, reading them aloud is particularly good practice for kids who struggle with

47、 reading fluently. _40_ If your child needs help remembering a difficult concept, a joke might do it. For instance, try another joke from F: Two atoms (原子) are playing together when one tells the other, I lost an electron (电子). The second atom asks, Are you sure? The first atom replies Im positive!A

48、. Jokes help kids build social relationships.B. Jokes arent just for the public stage, though.C. Humor can even help a person deal with mood disorders.D.

With the bird in my cupped hand, I looked around to see how she had gotten in. The broken window glass was the likely answer. I stuffed a piece of cloth in

64、to the hole and took her outside, closing the door securely behind me. When I opened my hand, the bird did not fly away; she sat looking at me with her bright eyes. I removed the sticky spider-webs that covered her head and wings. Still, she made no attempt to fly. Perhaps she had been struggling ag

I stopped, and she soon took wing but did not immediately fly away. Hovering (悬停), she approached within six inches of my face. For

66、 a very long moment, this tiny creature looked into my eyes, turning her head from side to side. Then she flew quickly out of sight. During the cookout, I told my hosts about the hummingbird incident. They promised to fix the window. As I was departing, my friends walked me to my car. I was standing

67、 by the car when a hummingbird flew to the center of our group and began hovering. She turned from person to person until she came to me.

A。段落大意题。第一段的前两句引出本段主题句（第三句）的内容。第一段的大意可理解为：尽管我们每年使用大量一次性塑料制品且塑料垃圾会对地球造成不可修复的损害，然而，我们对塑料垃圾的处理还是不当。However为语篇标记词，引出本段主要内容。另外，第一段第三句

71、与第二段首句形成有机衔接，第二段首句中的this global crisis即指第一段第三句提到的“我们对塑料垃圾的处理不当”的内容。25. C。细节理解题。根据第二段中的After encountering plastic waste along Nairobis streets, she decided to quit her job and created a small lab, testing sand and plastic combinations可知，看到了内罗毕街道上遍布的塑料垃圾，Matee意识到自己所在城市的塑料垃圾问题，于是萌生出了用塑料和沙子制造新式砖的想法。26.

76、les . drop in revenues可知，伦敦2003年就开始实施道路拥堵收费，但直到现在才开始对网约车进行收费，斯德哥尔摩豁免了太多车辆，这两个城市都是实施道路拥堵收费的错误示范案例。注：本段中的roll out意为“推出”。31. B。标题归纳题。第一段阐明文章主题：通过介绍纽约严重拥堵的情况，介绍了政府的解决方法率先在曼哈顿区实行拥堵收费。第一段中的But relief is in sight为过渡句，该句之前的内容介绍事件的背景，该句之后的内容为本文主题。其余各段围绕该主题进行具体阐释，第二段介绍该新规的许多细节还没正式确定；第三段介绍世界范围内实行拥堵收费的其他城市，供纽约参

B。推理判断题。第四段作者通过比较Angus.ai公司的新科技与传统的

79、消费者调研，揭露出传统调研的弊端：价格昂贵、调研结果不准确、调研问题不正确。由此可知，作者对这一新科技持支持态度。35.

B。设空处上一句中的speaking to a crowd及attempting to redirect a tense meetin

80、g均是笑话用于公共场合（B项中的the public stage）的具体例子。设空处为过渡句，承上启下，设空处上文谈及笑话在公共场合发挥的作用，下文谈及家人间讲笑话的益处。B项“然而，笑话不只适用于公共舞台”符合语境。37. G。G项内容与设空处上一句为并列关系，讲述了笑话在作者家中发挥的积极作用：一阵大笑避免了家人对菜单进行抱怨，并且这样的活动能帮助儿子理解一些不太明白的笑话。G项符合语境。38. A。根据设空处的位置可知，设空处为本段主题句。本段主要内容为笑话能促进孩子的社交。设空处下一句中的connect with other kids at the cafeteria table及st

81、art a conversation on the school bus为A项中的build social relationships的具体表现。综上可知，A项符合语境。39. E。设空处下一句中的两个笑话具体解释了E项内容“笑话可以有效帮助孩子学习单词的发音、理解单词的意义”。第一个笑话中的lawn mooer，为谐音梗，奶牛吃草，且会发出哞（moo）的叫声，割草机（lawnmower）与lawn moo-er发音相似，这个笑话可以帮助孩子学习lawnmower的发音和意思。第二个笑话也为谐音梗，ajar与a jar发音一样。这个笑话可以帮助孩子理解ajar的发音与意思。40. D。设空处下
