A massive winter storm is expected to begin hitting Massachusetts tonight, dumping up to a foot or more of snow in some areas, while whipping the coast with powerful winds and driving rains, forecasters predict.“It’s got a little bit of everything,” William Babecock, a meteologist （气象学家） at the National Weather Service in Taunton, said of the post-Christmas storm that brought snowstorm conditions to the Ohio Valley before heading east with its mixed bag of snow, sleet, and rain.State Highway Administrator Frank De Paola said more than 4,000 states and snowplows （扫雪车） and salt spreaders were ready to make the roads safer for holiday travelers.“MassDOT will be fully staffed and will be ready to handle this,” De Paola said, nothing that the storm, which should bring snow to most of thestate except the Cape and Island before turning into rain tomorrow, is Massachusetts’ first significant snow storm of this winter season.“There have been events where we have had pretty much freezing, icing concerns, which we have treated with chemicals.But this is the first big event that will call for plowing,” he said.A high wind watch has been issued for southeastern Massachusetts, including Cape Cod, Forecasters say the wind could reach 60 mph, possibly bringing down power lines.In Worcester, some were busy for severer by buying rock salt,shovels and windshield wash,Barrows Hardware president Brain Barrow said.He called the volume （总量） of customers at his Webster Street store very steady on Wednesday morning, “You do get that supermarket effect for sure,”he s aid of shoppers stocking supplies before a storm.There were no flight delays or cancellations at Logan International Airport in Boston as of day,” Right now, everything’s running normally.” airport spokesman Richard Walsh said.But Walsh said as the day progressed, travelers should contact their airlines directly to check the status of their flights.1.

How about having it brought to you by a robot? Thanks to Domino's Robotic Unit or DRU, that just became a reality! On March 8, the three-foot tall robot delivered its first pizza to some lucky residents in Brisbane, Australia.The fully autonomous DRU is the result of a cooperation between Domino’s Pizza Australia and Marathon Robotics.The 450-pound machine that travels at a maximum speed of 12.4 miles an hour can traverse a distance of up to 12 miles and back, before requiring a battery recharge. LIDAR, a laser-based sensor technology similar to the one used in self-driving cars, enables DRU to detect and avoid obstacles, while traditional sensors, much like those used in vacuum robots ensure its path is safe as it heads to its destination.The robot can fit up to ten pizzas and even has a separate cold area to accommodate drink orders.To access their fond, customers have to enter the unique code provided by the company.This is not only ensures that they pick up the right pizza, but also prevents the pies from getting stolen.Scientists expert additional DRU’s to be ready for service in their various Queensland locations within the next six months.But don’t expect these super cute robots to replace humans anytime soon.According to Domino’s the DRUstill needs extensive testing, which the company believes could take up to two years.And then there is also the issue of regulations.The public use of autonomous vehicles is still banned in most countries.But Don Meij, the CEO and Managing Director of Domino's Pizza Australia New Zealand Ltd, is not worried.He is “confident that one day DRU will become an integral part of the Domino's family.”1. What's the function of LIDAR?A. keeping DRU free of obstaclesB. Recharging DRU’s batteryC. Helping DRU find its destinationD. Protecting DRU from bad weather2. What does the underlined word “accommodate” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. HeatB. HoldC. SellD. Show.3. Why does the company provide codes for its customers?A. To fit up more pizzasB. To prevent the pizza being taken by mistakeC. To keep the pizza warmD. To get the pizza paid in time4. What can we infer about the future of DRU?A. It may need some improvementsB.

Grammar （16’）Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, used one word that best fits each blank.AAlbert Einstein completely changed scientific thought. After he developed the Theory of Relativity, Einstein opened the door for the creation of the atomic bomb. Although Einstein was not famous in his lifetime, he later became 21__________ (famous) scientist of the 20th century.Although nowadays Einstein 22____________( consider) the best example of genius, in the first two decades of his life, many people thought Einstein was the exact opposite. When Einstein didn’t talk until he was three years old, his parents worried something was wrong with him. Einstein also failed 23__________ (impress) his teachers. From elementary school through college, his teachers and professors thought him lazy, sloppy, and insubordinate(不屈服的). Many of his teachers thought he would never amount to anything.24__________ appeared to be laziness in class was really boredom. 25__________ __________ just memorizing facts and dates, Einstein preferred to consider questions 26__________ __________ what makes the needle of a compass point in one direction? Why is the sky blue? What would it be like to travel at the speed of light?Unfortunately for Einstein, these were not the types of topics he was taught in school. 27__________ his excellent grades, Einstein found regular schooling to be strict and unfair. Things changed for Einstein when he treated Max Talmud friendly, the 21-year-old medical student who ate dinner at the Einstein’s once a week. Although Einstein was only eleven years old, Max introduced Einstein to numerous science and philosophy books and then discussed their content with him. Einstein flourished in this learning environment and it wasn’t long 28__________ Einstein surpassed (超过) what Max could teach him.BA son in many developing countries means insurance, __29___will inherit his father's property and help support the family. However, to parents, a daughter is just another expense. Her place is in the home, not in the world of men. A girl can't help but___30___(feel) inferior when everything around her tells her that she is worth less than a boy. Her future is, to some extent, shaped 31____ ______ ______ her family limits her opportunities and treat her as second-rater, which explains why women in developing countries perform much worse than men both in study and career.Deep discrimination against women creates a firm force that keeps girls from living up to their full potential. It also leaves them victims to severe physical and emotional harm. These "servants of the household" come to accept that life will never be any different. What’s most harmful, it results not only in millions of individual tragedies, but also in the lost potential for ___32__ entire country.Studies show there is a direct link between a country's attitude toward women and its social and economic progress. The status of women is central to the health of a society. If one part suffers, so does the whole.To deal with the situation, many women turn to education. Educated women are essential to ___33____ (end) sex discrimination, starting by reducing the poverty. The most basic skills in literacy and Maths open up opportunities for better-paying jobs for women. Uneducated women in rural areas of Zambia, for instance, are twice as likely to live in poverty as those who have had eight or more years of education.Women who have had some schooling are more likely to get married later, survive childbirth, have fewer and healthier children, and make sure their own children ____34____(complete) school. Understanding the importance of hygiene (卫生) and nutrition，they are more likely to stay in physical wellness.Nevertheless, the comprehensive change for a society speaks for the more far-reachingmeaning of women education.As women get the opportunity to go to school and obtain higher-level jobs, they gain status in their communities, which ____35___(translate) into the power to influence their families and societies.Such power___36___, together with other forces of outside interference, make even bigger changes possible and gradually lighten up women’s fates in these countries.III.Vocabulary( 20’)Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.violent change in the education of young people. More and more young girls are signing up for the classes previously 37 only for boys. And, conversely, a good number of boys are finding that classes in cooking and sewing are extremely useful to their own 38 .A growing number of college students are choosing to take the classes which are meaningful and useful rather than 39 . I find it encouraging that some women are pursuing training as mechanics and electricians. Within ten years or so, the number of women in the mechanical field may be nearly 40 to the number of men.It is becoming more and more 41 th at women are not “mechanically dumb”. They just never got the 42 to learn the basics of mechanics. It doesn’t require a man’s hand to turn a screw or tighten a bolt. The tools are 43 for anyone’s hand. I know several women who have rebuilt and maintain their own cars, and they are no brawnier than an average secretary.Slowly, bit by bit, I am learning how the engine in my car works and what is required to keep it running. It’s dirty work and requires some 44 , but I am gaining independence because of the notion that it is “man’s work” and I won’t have to take it to a mechanic who would be happy to over-charge an “45 ” woman.Someday, perhaps, when women have been given the chance to allow their talents to blossom, we may find that lady mechanics will be 46 over males. Now won’t that be a switch?Many of the problems facing today’s world aren’t news to us. The environment is in dire need of help because it’s being damaged, hunger is 47 throughout the world, and workers in third world countries are continuously being exploited. Therefore, 48 across the globe need to join together for a cause and use their collective efforts to make all the difference in the world.For instance, one person recycling a can or a bottle doesn’t seem like much. But if every household in a given city were to recycle and conserve energy, that city could make a huge positive49 on environmental damage. 50 , there are countless ways to help fight world hunger—whether it’s to donate money to a dedicated worldwide charity, donate canned goods to your local charity, or even make 51 changes like going vegetarian. World hunger is a massive problem—but it doesn’t mean individuals themselves can’t make a difference.Worker exploitation is another huge problem. All across the world—particularly in third world countries—workers are forced to 52 long hours, with close to no pay. Yet these workers continue to show up to such a way of life, because they have no other 53 .So, how can people like us help fight such a big problem? 54 raising awareness of the products you buy in stores—from clothing to food—is a massive start. For example, if you see two similar products side by side in a food shop, but one of them is 55 “fair trade”, you’ll know immediately that the workers who labored to produce that product were given a 56 price for their goods. And true, fair trade products might cost a little bit more, but buying them is a significant start to help fight worker exploitation.IV. Reading ComprehensionSection A (15’)Directions:For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Clearly if we are to participate in the society in which we live, we must communicate with other people.

HoweverSection B (24’)Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.AWhat will people die of 100 years from now? If you think that is a simple question，you have not been paying attention to the revolution that is taking place in biotechnology. With the help of new medicine，the human body will last a very long time. Death will come mainly from accidents，murder and war. Today’s leading killers，such as heart disease，cancer，and aging itself，will become distant memories.In discussion of technological changes，the Internet gets most of the attention these days. But the change in medicine can be the real technological event of our times. How long can humans live? Human brains were known to decide the final death. Cells are the basic units of all living things，and until recently，scientists were sure that the life of cells could not go much beyond 120 years because the basic materials of cells，such as those of brain cells，would not last forever. But the upper limits will be broken by new medicine. Sometime between 2050 and 2100，medicine will have advanced to the point at which every 10 years or so，people will be able to take medicine to repair their organs. The medicine，made up of the basic building materials of life，will build new brain cells，heart cells，and so on－in much the same way our bodies make new skin cells to take the place of old ones.It is exciting to imagine that the advance in technology may be changing the most basic condition of human existence，but many technical problems still must be cleared up on the way to this wonderful future.72．According to the passage，human death is now mainly caused by ________.A．diseases and aging B．accidents and warC．accidents and aging D．heart disease and war73．In the author’s opinion，today’s most important advance in technology lies in ________. A．medicine B．the Internet C．brain cells D．human organs74．Humans may live longer in the future because ________.A．heart disease will be far away from usB．human brains can decide the final deathC．the basic materials of cells will last foreverD．human organs can be repaired by new medicine75．How long can humans live in the future according to the passage?A．Over 100 years. B．More than 120 years.C．About 150 years. D．The passage doesn’t tell us.B(You may read the questions first.)Mini Book ExcerptsBiographyWhen Salinger learned that a car park was to be built on the land, themiddle-aged writer was shocked and quickly bought the neighboring areato protect it… The townspeople never forgot the rescue and came to helptheir most famous neighbor.J.

But in Mary Fields’ case, these features wereoutmatched by a heart of gold that made her legendary(传奇的).Born into slavery in Tennessee in 1832 or 1833, Mary had nothing, noteven a date of birth. However, in her early years, she found something of trulylasting value—a friend named Dolly. In addition to friendship, Dolly also mayhave taught Mary to read and write, an invaluable advantage for slaves. At the end of America’s Civil War, Mary finally received her freedom and made her own way out into the world.Mary was employed on a steamboat as a maid when she received word from Dolly, now a nun （修女）in Ohio called Mother Amadeus. Mary arrived in Ohio in 1878 and worked at Amadeus’ girls’ school, managing the kitchen and garden. She became known as a gun-carrying, cigar-smoking woman, but also as an example of kindness and reliability. After a few years, though, Amadeus was sent to another school out West in Montana, becoming the first black woman to settle in central Montana.When Mary was in her 50s, a sick Mother Amadeus called her West. So Mary made her way to the small town of Cascade, Montana, to nurse Amadeus to health. She did this and more, running supplies and visitors to St. Peter’s Mission where Amadeus lived. Once when her wagon(四轮马车) overturned, she guarded the delivery from wolves through the night.But Mary's rough edges caused the local bishop (主教) to prohibit her from working at the mission. Mother Amadeus then set her up as the first African-American female employee of the U.S. Postal Service. Though in her 60s, Mary was such a dependable mail carrier that she earned the name “tagecoach” Mary. She became a beloved figure in Cascade. She was the only woman allowed in the saloon (酒馆), was the baseball team’s biggest fan and was given free meals in thetown hotel.Nearly 70, Mary quit delivering the mail but remained in Cascade. The town’s school closed to celebrate her unknown birthday twice a year. When she passed away in 1914, a simple cross was placed to mark her grave and her legend in the Wild West.80.

Thisdifference hasn’t been more pronounced since the start of the start of the novel coronavirus epidemic—when a great number of people are falling ill at all the same time.The conditions in the US are getting worse quickly, which is largely due to the fact that there is no universal healthcare system. According to the 2019 US Census, 28 million people are not covered or do not have adequate health insurance, meaning that they would probably avoid getting tested for the virus, for fear of the cost of being hospitalized.“__________85___________So many people have no alternative but to try to keep working and caring for children so as to keep life going, and by consequence, they are spreading the virus simply because they have no other choice,” wrote reporter James Hamblin on the Atlantic.Germany, on the contrary, has one of the world’s best-developed and most expensive public healthcare systems that covers every citizen. People in Germany—who have “high levels of job security”, according to the Los Angeles Times—are also more likely to follow the quarantine measures and stay at home without having to worry about losing their jobs._______86________.“The conditions to deal with the virus in Germany are among the best in the world,” said German Chancellor Angela Merkel, according to the Los Angeles Times.Japan also has universal public healthcare, but it brings another kind of problem: People tend to seek more medical care than necessary. According to Yusuke Tsugawa, a physician at Harvard University, Japan has three times more outpatient visits than the US, and patients also stay in hospital for three times longer than in the US.__________87__________________.“It isn’t good to do tests just to ease public anxiety,” Kentaro Iwata, an infectious disease expert at Kobe University. Japan , told Reuters. “If they test every one with light symptoms, the medical system will puncture(破损).”Indeed, a country’s healthcare system is the key to keeping its people safe---it’s also the key to whether a country can survive a crisis like the novel coronavirus pandemic.V.

AGrandpa picked up several items and placed them on the counter. He told the clerk（柜员) it would be on credit. The clerk was new and didn’t know Grandpa, though he had been coming to this same country store for 20 years.“Sign here,” the clerk pointed to a piece of paper and said.Grandpa took the pencil beside the paper and carefully marked an “X” on the dotted（点）line.“You’re supposed to sign your name,” she said.Grandpa’s hand shook with the pencil. He was a tall man, thin with sandy blond（金色的） hair and blue eyes. I hadn’t seen him so embarrassed before, especially in front of a teenager girl.“I can’t read or write,” he said. “I’ve always signed with an ’X’”. I could see he wanted nothing more than to get out of there.I wasn’t sure what happened, but somewhere deep inside of Grandpa had been pricked. I went close to him and broke my chocolate bar in half.“Want some?” I asked. He took it and cut into it. In spite of his smile, the sadness in his eyes said that chocolate wouldn’t make the pain go away.Grandpa is no longer with us now, but I know he was never simply “Grandpa X”. He just didn’t know how to read and he thought it was too late in life for him to start. What I would want to tell Grandpa more than anything else, if I could speak to him today, is that it’s not too late. There are programs and people who are willing to help him learn to read and write. But the most important thing I’d say is that whether he could read or not, he was never just “Grandpa X” to me.1. Which of the following statements about the writer’s grandpa is WRONG?__________.A. He didn’t know how to re ad or write all his life.B. He felt embarrassed when the clerk asked him to sign his name.C. He had always signed with an “X” in the country store before the new clerk came.D. He was a hard-working man but slow at learning.2. The underlined word “pricked” in paragraph 7 means “ ________ ”.A. ignoredB. fooledC. hurtD. worried3. What can we infer from the last paragraph?__________.A. It’s difficult for an old man to learn to read.B. The writer’s love for his grandpa wouldn’t change.C. The writer would have respected his grandpa more if he had learned to read.D. You will be looked down upon if you can’t read or write.BA very popular band, Jonas Brothers, released its fourth album this week. The first album by the Jonas Brothers is "It's About Time".

Their designers say with these robots, rescuers will be able to buy more time to save lives during an earthquake.This robot looking like a helicopter,a kind of small airplane, is called the detector-bot. It's about 4 meters long, and it took about 4 years to develop the model. Its main work is to collect information from the air, and send goods up to 30 kilos, to people trapped by an earthquake.This robot has a 360 degree panoramic(全景) camera. It can work day and night and will also be able to send the latest pictures from the quake area. Dr. Qi Juntong, Chinese Academy of Science, said, "The most important thing of this robot is that it doesn't need a far control. We just set the target information on it, and then it takes off, and lands by itself. It flies as high as 3,000 meters,and as fast as 100 kilometers per hour. "This robot has a different function----- it can change as the environment changes. Its main work is to search for any signs of life in places where human rescuers are unable to go. As well as a detector(探测器) that finds the dead and detects poisonous gas, a camera is placed in the 40-centimeter-long robot, which can work in the dark.Another use for the rescuers is the supply robots, with its 10-meter-long pipe. People who are trapped in the ruins, will be able to get supplies including oxygen（氧气）and water.
