While Charlotte Uhlenbroek loves the adventure, she is also glad to be back in"civilization", at least for the moment．She's just finished filming a TV series called Jungle﹣﹣a 19﹣week job that involved her exploring the dense jungles of the Congo, the Amazon and Borneo． She says that it was fascinating, but daunting as well．So what was her most challenging experience? "Definitely climbing an 80﹣metre﹣high tree in Borneo, when I'm scared of heights! I had to keep going up and up, when a voice inside me was saying, 'Down! Down!' I kept thinking the ropes were going to break and send me down below．"And "down below" was where the bugs were﹣﹣clinging, stinging, suckingbeasts． Apart from the usual mosquitoes, in the Amazon rainforest she was troubled by sand﹣fly bites．"I've had some horrible bites but these really are the itchiest（痒的）bitesI've ever had． At one stage, I counted 70 bites on one arm, " she says． "Just as annoying were the sweat bees in the Congo． They try to drink the sweat on your face and even the tears from your eyes． The most disgusting thing, though, was try to pull the leches（水蛭）off your skin． The more I pulled, the more they stretched and the tighter their jaws clung to my leg． I kept shouting, 'Get them off!' and the film crew kept saying, "Just one minute…this makes a really good shot!"Back in London, what has she been enjoying since her return to "civilization"? "I've been having lots of nice, long showers, " she says．"In the Congo, the possibility of using up our water supplies was always a worrying thought． And I find that when I've been inhot, uncomfortable conditions for a while, the things I look forward to more than anything else are being with my family and enjoying my favourite meal．"（1）Why does Charlotte explore the jungles？________A She enjoys taking adventures．B She wants to challenge herself．C She takes part in shooting a TV series．D She is interested in the jungle bugs．．（2）What can we learn about Charlotte's experience in the jungles？________A She climbed tall tee with the help of ropes．B She once had 70 bites by the sweat bees in the Congo．C The mosquito bites were the worst bites she'd everhad． D The film crew helped her to get the leches from her leg．．（3）What does Charlotte miss most when she was in the jungles？________A Nice and long showers．B Her family members．C Her comfortablebed． D Her favourite snacks．．（4）What can be the best title for the text？________A The TV Series ﹣﹣﹣﹣ JungleB Explore the Amazon JungleC Return to the Age of CivilizationD What a Jungle Journey!．3. Crossing your legs is an extremely common habit; most people don't even notice that they're doing it when they sit down． While you may find it comfortable to sit with one knee crossed over the other, it might be causing health problems that you are not aware of．A study published in Blood Pressure Monitoring stated that sitting with your legs crossed can increase your blood pressure． The reason is that the blood in your legs has to work against gravity to be pumped back to your heart and that crossing one leg over the otherincreases resistance（阻力）, making it even harder for the blood to circulate． This causes your body to increase your blood pressure to push the blood back to the heart． You won't feel any immediate effects, but repeated, drawn﹣out increases in blood pressure can cause long term health problems． So, panning to sit for a long period of time? Don't keep your legs crossed．Crossing your legs at the knee can also cause pressure on the major nerve in your leg that passes just below your knee and along the outside of your leg, explains Richard Graves, a medical expert． This pressure can cause numbness（麻木）and temporary paralysis（麻痹） of some of the muscles in your foot and leg, preventing you from being able to raise your ankle． While the feeling of discomfort may only last a minute or two, repeatedly crossing your legs until they feel numb can cause permanent nerve damage．So next time you sit down, try to get yourself in the habit of sitting with both of your feet on the floor． Not only will it help your posture and stability, but it will also save your health in the long run．（1）What can we learn about crossing one's legs？________A It is a very bad social habit．B It is usually practiced by design．C It can make others feel uncomfortable．D It has a negative effect on people's heath．．（2）We may conclude from the study that sitting with your legs crossed can________．A improve the function of legsB help your blood resist gravityC effect your blood pressureD cause health problems instantly．（3）According to Richard Graves， repeatedly crossing your legs may________．A paralyze all of your musclesB preventing you from standing upC damage your nerve in the leg in the endD reduce the pressure on the major nerve．（4）What is the main purpose of the text？________A To blame a bad habit．B To provide suggestions．C To introduce research methods．D To show effects of an experiment．4. Tired of standing in line? Wait a bit longer, and you may never have toagain． Everyone from Amazon is trying to remove lines in retail（零售） stores．Amazon has opened 24 of its Amazon Go stores, which use cameras and artificial intelligence（AI）to see what you've taken off shelves and charge you as you walk out． Some companies are closely copying Amazon's approach to using AI﹣powered cameras fixed in ceilings． But others are trying an entirely different way to skip the checkout: smart shopping carts． These companies have added cameras and sensors（传感器）to the carts, and are using AI to tell what you've put in them． Customers pay by entering a credit card, or through an online payment system． When a customer exits the store a green light on the shopping car shows that their order is complete, and they're charged．The companies behind the smart carts, including Caper and Veeve, say it's much easier to add technology to the shopping cart than to an entire store． Amazom's Go stores rely on hundreds of cameras in the ceiling． The shelves also include sensors to tell when an item isremoved． Ahmed Beshry, co﹣founder of Caper, believes the technology to run Go is too expensive to use in a large﹣format grocery store． Neither Caper nor Veeve have said how much their smart shopping carts will cost, making it difficult to compare the different formats． Shariq Siddiqui, CEO of Veeve, said, "We're always happy when Amazon is doing something． They force retailers to get out of their old school thinking．"Each time a business uses artificial intelligence and cameras, it raises questions about customers' privacy and the effect on jobs． Beshry notes that the cameras in his shopping cart point down into the cart, so only a customer's hand and part of their arm will be captured （拍摄） on camera．（1）What do we know about the smart shopping carts？________A They are linked to the cameras fixed in the ceilings．B They are able to recognize goods put in them．C They flash the green light when the order iscanceled． D They can tell customers where to find what they want．．（2）What does Beshry think of the technology used in Amazon's Go stores？________A It is far more expensive than their shopping carts．B It is likely to help retailers to think differently．C It has attracted many more retailers than before．D It may reduce the cost of running a store greatly．．（3）When it comes to AI and cameras， what makes the public worried most？________A That somebody may know their privacy．B That they can only buy goods online．C That goods in the stores may be more expensive．D That they behave to wait in a line for a longer time．．（4）What is the main idea of the text？________A The new technology improves retail sale．B Smart shopping carts will let you skip the line．C AI﹣powered cameras are used in retail stores．D Artificial intelligence affects the future of job market．第二节（共1小题；每小题10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．5.
