The vehicle will be put into commercial operation by 2019.Such unmanned vehicles are expected to lower the number of human-error incidents at sea, reduce labor costs and cut emissions（排放）by using batteries instead of gas.“ Over 70 to 80 percent of incidents that happened in the sea are man-made, and 40 percent of the entire running cost goes to human labor,” said Zhang Yunfei, founder of Oceanalpha.“Using USVs can largely reduce the cost and incidents. Also, the vehicle body is much lighter, which enables it to be powered by batteries instead of gas, greatly cutting down the emission, he said.Early this year, Oceanalpha launched an unmanned guard vehicle, which has already been adopted for military（军队的）use.24.What is the passage mainly about ?A.A Chinese high-tech company. B. A breakthrough in ocean research.C.A Chinese-foreign joint project. D. An advancement in a water vehicle.25.What do we know about the unmanned USV? A. It is invented by a Chinese engineer. B. It is a result of many-sided efforts.C. Its running cost goes to human labor. D. It has been put into mass-production.26.What can be inferred from Zhang Yunfeis words?A.USVs will have fewer crew members.B.It takes more human labor to run USVs.C.There will be no accidents by using USVs.D.The change of power reduces the emission.27.What field will the USV be used in?A. Business.B. Military.C. Education. D. Science.CA new study suggests that tiny oianisms living underground may store most of the carbon in Swedish forest floors. Thats a good thing for the environment: If the carbon remains hidden in the soil, then its not escaping into the atmosphere. There, it could contribute to global warming.These organisms, called mycorrhizal fungi （菌根真菌），grow on tree roots. They provide trees with nutrients in exchange for their sugars, which contain carbon.Scientists had long believed that most of the carbon sits above ground. But the new study suggests most carbon is trapped in the soil. Carbon is a building block of every living organism, from people and fish to bacteria and trees. Trees are masters at stashing carbon. They breathe in carbon dioxide from the air. They use the carbon to grow branches, leaves and roots. But the element moves around. If a tree falls down and rots or is cut down and burned its carbon goes back into the air as carbon dioxide. Too much of the gas in the air can foster global warming.In cold northern forests, like those in Sweden, fallen leaves and branches take a long time to rot. That means the carbon in those materials can stay put for a long time.To learn more about what a tree does with its carbon, ecologists at the Swedish University collected soil from 30 forested Swedish islands. Tliey then measured the amount and age of the carbon in the samples. The scientists found that deeper, fungi-filled soils contained more carbon than soils from the surface of the forest floor.When the scientists dated the carbon in the samples, they got a surprise: They found “ young” carbon in deeper soils. The researchers had expected to find young carbon only in soils closer to the surface of the forest floor. The only explanation, they say：The young carbon came from theunderground fungi that swallow carbon-containing sugars from tree roots.With the new findings, scientists may better understand soils role in storing carbon. That information could help improve forecasts for global warning.28.How do fungi grow?A. They consume carbon dioxide. B. They digest fallen tree branches.C. They absorb nutrients from the soil.D. They obtain sugars from tree roots.29.What does the underlined word “stashing” in Para. 3 mean?A. Storing.B. Reducing.C. Transforming. D. Producing.30.Why were the scientists surprised at the findings?A.Young carbon was found in the surface of the forest floor.B.The findings could not be explained scientifically.C.The findings proved their previous ideas wrong.D.It is hard to find young carbon in the underground fungi.31.Which of the following can be the best tide for the text?A. Fungi In Cold Northern ForestsB. Fungi As Carbon KeepersC. Fungi On the Roots of TreesD. Fungi In the Deep SoilDSmile, youre on body camAs camera technology gets smaller and cheaper, it isnt hard to imagine a future where were all filming everything all the time, in every direction.Would that be a good thing? There are some obvious potential upsides. If people know they are on camera, especially when at work or using public services, they are surely less likely to misbehave. Another upside is that it would be harder to get away with crimes or to escape from blame for accidents.Body-cam data could also create a legal minefield. Arguments over the truth and interpretation of police footage（影像）have already surfaced. Eventually, events not caught on camera could be treated as if they didnt happen. Alternatively, footage could be faked or doctored to avoid blame or do wrong to others.Of course, some people think that if youre not doing anything wrong, you have nothing to fear. But most people have done something embarrassing, or even illegal, that they regret and would prefer hadnt been caught on film. People already remove their social media feeds or avoid doing anything wrong in publicfor fear of damaging their reputation.The always-on-camera world could even threaten some of the qualities that make us human. We are natural persons who enjoy talking about other peoples private lives and while those might not be desirable behaviours, they oil the wheels of our social interactions. Once people assume they are being filmed, they are likely to keep silent.The argument in relation to body-cam ownership is a bit like that for guns： once you go past a critical threshold（临界阐值），almost everyone will feel they need one as an insurance policy. We are nowhere near that point yetbut we should think hard about whether we really want to say lights, body cam, action.32.What does the underlined word “upsides” in Para. 2 refer to?A. Advantages.B. Rules.C. Shortcomings.D. Dangers.33.Why do people argue about police footage?A.Police footage can show the truth.B.Events caught on footage are treated unfairly.C.Police footage could be changed on purpose.D.Footage should not be filmed by police.34. What does the author believe?A.People pretend to behave well with cameras on.B.Peoples private lives should be respected.C.Talking about others private lives promotes social interactions.D.People keep silent before cameras when talking about themselves.35. What is suggested in the last paragraph?A.We dont need a critical threshold.B.We should be cautious in adopting body-cam.C.We need body-cam as an insurance policy.D.We havent decided whether to take action.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人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余 选项。I dont know what that dream is that you have.
