Reports say Chinese fans have bought over 40,000 tickets, more than Spanish and English fans. They have also booked 16 percent of the hotel rooms in the host cities in Russia. Except for actually playing, China will take part in almost every other aspect of the World Cup. Chinese companies have made the balls to be used in the World Cup and the official mascot（吉祥物） Zabivaka. And the air-conditioning system in the newly built Mordovia Stadium in Saransk has been provided by Chinese companies as well. Fans can also get World Cup special coins that are made in Nanjing.“It is no secret that China has a key role in our plan to develop football around the globe. It must play.” said FIFA secretary-general Fatma Samoura during her visit to Beijing last year. FIFA has set a target of making 60 percent of the worlds population take part in soccer by 2026. And China, thanks to its huge population, will play an important role in realizing that goal. Although China is ranked between 80 to 90 in the world soccer standing, it has more than 200 million soccer fans. Moreover, ten Chinese super league players are making Chinese fans proud by shouldering national duty for their countries in the World Cup.China has almost all the conditions needed for the healthy development of soccer. Hopefully, the World Cup will encourage the decision-makers to focus on ordinary people to develop the sport. In the 1950s, the government at various levels built a large number of ping-pong tables in urban residential（住宅的） communities, which attracted a large number of people to play ping-pong. The result is that China remains the best in the sport. But even in Beijing, where public sports facilities（设备）are the most developed in the country, children find it hard to get a chance to play in the limited number of soccer fields. If the government wants to raise the level of soccer in China, they should first improve the soccer facilities in the country.28. Which of the following can best explain the underlined word ?A. Disappointment. B. Embarrassment. C. Thrill. D. Regret.29. What can we infer from the second paragraph?A. China will contribute a lot to the development of football.B. Chinese football fans are the most influential in the world.C. Chinas football teams will improve greatly by 2026.D. Chinas Super League will attract the best football players in the world.30. Why is ping-pong mentioned in the last paragraph?A. To show how well the Chinese can play ping-pong.B. To set an example of how to develop a sport among ordinary people.C. To attract more people to play ping-pong.D. To indicate that soccer is less popular than ping-pong.31. From which is the text probably taken?A. An advertisement. B. A travel guidebook. C. A research paper. D. A daily newspaper. DThe possibility of self-driving robot cars has often seemed like a futurists dream, years away from coming into reality in the real world. Well, the future is apparently now. The California Department of Motor Vehicles began giving permits in April for companies to test truly self-driving cars on public roads. The state also cleared the way for companies to sell or rent out self-driving cars, and for companies to operate driverless taxi services. California, which should be noted, isnt leading the way here. Companies have been testing their cars in cities across the country. Its hard to predict when driverless cars will be everywhere on our roads. But however long it takes, the technology may change our transportation systems and our cities, for better or for worse, depending on how the transformation is managed.While much of the debate so far has been focused on the safety of driverless cars, policymakers should be talking more about how self-driving cars can help reduce traffic jams, cut emissions(排放)and offer more convenient and affordable choices to move around. The arrival of driverless cars is a chance to make sure that those cars are environmentally friendly and more shared.Do we want to copy or even worsen the traffic of today with driverless cars? Imagine a future where most adults own their self-driving cars. They accept long, slow journeys to and from work on crowded highways because they can work, entertain themselves or sleep on the ride. They take their driverless car to a date and set the empty car to circle the building to avoid paying for parking. Instead of walking a few blocks to pick up a child or the dry cleaning, they send the self-driving minibus. The convenience even leads fewer people to take public transport an unwelcome side effect researchers have already found in ride-hailing(网约车)services. Policymakers should start thinking now about how to make sure the appearance of driverless cars doesnt worsen the transportation system we have today. The coming technological development presents a chance for cities and states to develop transportation systems designed to move more people, and more affordably. The car of the future is coming. We just have to plan for it.32. What can we learn from the first paragraph?A. Self-driving cars are not allowed in the real world.B. Driverless taxies will be seen everywhere on the road in a short term.C. California is not alone in testing driverless cars.D. Self-driving technology will definitely benefit transportation system.33. According to the author, policymakers should pay more attention to _.A. how driverless cars can move more peopleB. how driverless cars can travel safelyC. how driverless cars can travel fasterD. how driverless cars can help deal with transportation-related problems34. What is a possible side effect of self-driving cars?A. Journeys to and from work become longer.B. More and more people abandon（抛弃）public transportation.C. There is no place to park them.D. They may result in traffic jams.35. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Preparing Cities for Robot Cars B. Future Technology UnderwayC. Transportation System in the Future D. Robot Cars on the Road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。Smog is a form of air pollution that is produced in the atmosphere when sunlight reacts with at least one volatile organic compound (VOC有机挥发物). When this reaction occurs, particles (微粒)are formed in the atmosphere, and oxygen at the ground level takes in harmful chemicals, thus creating what we consider smog. Recent years have seen an increase in campaigns（宣传活动）for the reduction of smog due to its harmful effects towards both humans and the environment. 36 Avoid high VOC products. VOCs are chemicals that easily escape into the atmosphere through common use around the house. Check the household products to determine if they contain VOCs. 37 If you must store some, do so in a tightly covered, original container so that VOCs cant get out.Avoid gas-powered yard（院子）equipment. Gasoline emissions are one of the major causes of smog whether from cars or lawn equipment. Try environment-friendly lawn（草坪）equipment that can be powered electrically. You can also change the material in your yard. 38 39 When you choose products that are made in the place where you live, it cuts down on the cost of transport which reduces emissions. Local farmers markets and grocery stores（杂货店） can help you determine where items were produced. There are even many restaurants that are joining the movement towards supporting locally grown items.Be energy efficient in your home. The less energy you use at home, the fewer pollutants that go into the atmosphere. There are many ways to reduce energy use including through lighting, heating and cooling. 40 A. Buy local products.B. Shop for green products.C. It is high time that we changed our habits to make a difference.D. There are alternatives（替代物）that look real, but require less care and attention.E. If you must use them, buy in small quantities that can be used quickly.F. Make a community garden. Grow vegetables and fruit for your community.G. For example, try equipment that resets temperatures on its own while youre away.第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分） 阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从41-60各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。 Anns neighbor Tracy found a lost dog walking around the local elementary（初级的）school.
