You can hear the city's heartbeat in the air. This is the Ancient City of Pingyao in Shanxi Province, a place that should certainly be on your travel route if you enjoy history or ancient architecture since its origins can be traced back to more than 2, 700 years ago. Located in the center of Shanxi Province, Pingyao is the hometown of Jin merchants, a group of merchants who actively dominated(支配) a booming(快速增长的）goods market throughout China for more than 500 years，specially during the Ming and Qing dynasties. After the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949, the city's agriculture and manufacturing industries developed rapidly. Following China’s return and opening up since 1978, Pingyao struggled with the transition from a managed economy to the current market-oriented economy. During this time, the city government sought out new ways to break through（突破） this economic bottleneck. Finally in the winter of 1997, opportunity came knocking. Through ‎ the efforts of the city government, Pingyao earned its place on the UNESCO World Heritage（遗产） list, which caused the entire world to take notice of the city. Since the city's fame has risen, locals in Pingyao have deepened their understanding of the conservation efforts preserving the historical relics in their hometown. Meanwhile the city administration has continued to upgrade itself through a strategy that follows the pillars（柱） of"conservation, entrepreneurship（创业）, development and protection". Currently, the city is focusing on establishing a sustainable（可持续的） industry that will enable it to continue to grow while also protecting its relics and introducing them to the world. 28. What does the underlined word"transition" in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. attraction B Spread C. transformation D arrange. 29. What contributed to  Pingyao's popularity around the world? A. The city government's hard work B. The ancient architecture in the city. C. The development of Pingyao's economy D. The official recognition by the UNESCO 30.What measure is taken to further develop the city? A Combining economy with cultural protection B Constructing more modern buildings C. Learning from other cities in the world. D. Establishing manufacturing industries. 31. How is the text developed?

C. By listing reasons D By raising questions.‎ D ‎ MEPs(欧洲议会议员) have called for the adoption(采纳）of new rules for how humans will interact with artificial intelligence(AI)and robots.‎ The report says that it believes the world is at a time when a" new industrial" robot revolution will take place. It looks at whether to give robots legal status as" electronic persons”.‎ Designers should make sure any robots have a kill switch, which would allow their functions to be shut down if necessary. Meanwhile users should be able to use robots “ without risk or fear of physical or psychological harm", the report states. Besides, robotic research should be conducted in the interests of the well-being of humans.‎ Designers may be required to put their robots names on an official list as well as providing access to the source code to research accidents and damage caused by robots. Producers or owners may be required to take out insurance cover for the damage potentially caused by their robot.‎ The report suggests that the new age of robots also raises issues about the future of work , namely, whether people will lose jobs because of robots and whether member states of the European Union need to introduce a basic income in the light of robots taking jobs.‎ The report also considers the legal duties of robots and suggests that the duties should be based on the actual level of instructions given to the robot.‎ Lorna Brazell, a partner at law firm Osborne Clarke, was surprised by how far-reaching the rules were."Blue whales and chimpanzees(黑猩猩) don’t have personhood but I would suggest that they ‎ have as many aspects of humanity as robots, so I don't see why we should jump into giving robots this status.”‎ ‎32. What will be the purpose of the kill switch?‎ A. To prevent robots killing themselves.‎ B. To help robots save users.‎ C. To ensure human safety.‎ D. To allow robots to protect themselves.‎ ‎33. Who are responsible for registering(登记，注册) their robots according to the report?‎ A. Designers. B. Researchers. C. Producers. D. Owners.‎ ‎34. What is a major concern of the report?‎ A. Robots will be unable to perform legal duties.‎ B. Robots will control the survival of the human.‎ C. Robots will come into conflict with each other.‎ D. Robots will cause many people to lose their jobs. ‎ ‎35. What was Brazell’ s attitude to giving robots legal status?‎ A. Supportive. B. Disagreeing. C. Uncaring. D. Neutral.‎ 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。‎ Some questions when you are exercising ‎1. What's the best thing to eat before a workout, game, or race?‎ If you're just walking quickly for 30 to 60 minutes, it doesn't matter what you eat beforehand. But if you're about to run for more than an hour, what you eat before and during the activity can affect your performance and how you feel. 36 The goal is to maintain blood sugar and carbo-hydrate(碳水化合物) stores in the body, but not have much undigested food in the stomach.‎ ‎2.

But for long exercise, especially in hot weather, drink plenty of fluids. 39 Also drink some during long workouts, even if you are not thirsty, and drink adequately afterwards.‎ ‎5. 40‎ Whatever works for you, it takes longer for solid food to be digested compared to liquids, which could be a good or bad thing when you exercise, depending on the timing.

Experts advise not eating anything before exercising.‎ C. Choose food that is high in carbohydrates, low in fat and rich in protein.‎ D. What you eat before exercising has little or no effect on fat burning.‎ E. Is it better to get your pre-exercise calories from liquids than from solid food?‎ F.
