India blasted a ￡113million rocket into space yesterday in an attempt to become only the fourth country – after Russia, the US and China – to land an object safely on the moon.

Thousands gathered to watch Chandrayaan-2 take off from Satish Dhawan space centre in Sriharikota, near Chennai, on a mission to explore the moon’s south pole.

Last week, the unmanned mission was aborted 56 minutes before takeoff. The Indian Space Research Organization (Isro) blamed a “technical fault. It was later reported that scientists had found a leak while adding helium(氦) to the rocket’s cryogenic(低温的) engine.

After the launch, Kailasavadivoo Sivan, the chairman of Isro, said the agency’s staff had worked tirelessly to fix the fault and had “bounced back with flying colours”.

“It is the beginning of a historical journey of India towards the moon to carry out scientific experiments to explore the unexplored,” Sivan said.

Scientists in the control room applauded as the craft launched into space. It will spend 23 days orbiting the Earth before beginning a series of flights to take it into lunar orbit. A land er is then due to reach the moon’s surface in early September. With India on the point of becoming the world’s fifth largest economy, Narendra Modi’s nationalist government is eager to show off the country’s strength in security and technology.

The prime minister tweeted yesterday: “The launch of Chandrayaan-2 illustrates the power of our scientists and the determination of 1.3 billion Indians to scale new frontiers of science. Every Indian is immensely proud today!” It was, he added, a “fully indigenous(本土的)” project, using Indian technology.

India launched its first lunar probe in 2008, and guided a spacecraft into orbit around Mars in 2014. Its space programmes are famously thrifty, and its Mars mission, Modi has joked, cost less than the film Gravity . Following the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 landing, the launch of Chandrayaan-2 has renewed interest in returning to the moon. In January, China landed the Chang’e 4 spacecraft on the previously unexplored far side of the moon, and in April the Israeli spacecraft Beresheet, the first privately funded mission to the moon, crashed after apparent engine failure. Donald Trump has said he wants to put astronauts back on the moon by 2024.

58.Which of the following word has the closest meaning as the underlined wordaborted？

A.called off

B. take off

C. put aside

D. set off

59.According to the passage, which of the following is true about Chandrayaan-2?

A.It cost India ￡113million to launch it.

B.It’s the first lunar probe to explore the moon’s south pole.

C.It was found a leak before its first launch.

D.Its lander has successfully reached the moon’s surface .

60.From the last paragraph, we can infer that______________________

A.The launch of Chandrayaan-1aroused people’s interest in exploring the moon.

B.China had never explored the moon before the launch of the Chang’e 4 spacecraft .

C.The Israeli spacecraft Beresheet landed successfully the moon.

D.In the USA,one or more astronautsonce landed on the moon.

Like most robots, social robots use artificial intelligence to decide how to act on information received through cameras and other sensors. The ability to respond in ways that seem lifelike has been informed by research into such issues as how perceptions (知觉)form, what constitutes social and emotional intelligence, and how people can infer others' thoughts and feelings. Advances in Al have enabled designers to translate such psychological and neuroscientific insights into algorithms that allow robots to recognize voices, feces and emotions; interpret speech and gestures; respond appropriately to complex verbal and nonverbal cues; make eye contact; speak conversationally; and adapt to people's needs by learning from feedback, rewards and criticisms.

A 47-inch humanoid (类人物)called Pepper (from SoftBank Robotics) recognizes faces and basic human emotions and engages in conversations via a touch screen in its "chest," About 15,000 Peppers worldwide perform such services as hotel check-ins, airport customer service, shopping assistance and fast-food checkout. Temi (from Temi USA) and Loomo (Segway Robotics) are the next generation of personal assistants—like Amazon Echo and Google Home but mobile, providing a new level of functionality. Loomo, for instance, is not only a companion but can also transform on command into a scooter (小型摩托车)for transport.

Social robots have particular appeal for assisting the world's growing elderly population. The PARO Therapeutic Robot (developed by Japan's National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology), which looks like a seal, soft and cute, is meant to stimulate and reduce stress for those with Alzheimer's disease and other patients in care facilities: it responds to its name by moving its head, and it cries for petting. Mabu (Catalia Health) engages patients, particularly the elderly, as a wellness aide, reminding them to take walks and medication and to call family members. Social robots are also gaining popularity with consumers as toys. Early attempts to include social behavior in toys, such as Hasbro's Baby Alive and Sony's AIBO robotic dog, had limited success. But both arc resurging （复活）、and the most recent version of AIBO has advanced voice and gesture recognition, can be taught tricks and develops new behaviors based on previous interactions.

Worldwide sales of consumer robots reached an estimated $5.6 billion in 2018, and the market is expected to grow to $19 billion by the end of 2025, with more than 65 million robots sold a year This trend may seem surprising given that multiple well-funded consumer robot companies, such as Jibo and Anki, have failed. But a wave of robots is lining up to take the place of old robots, including BUDDY （Blue Frog Robotics）, a big-eyed

mobile device that plays games in addition to acting as a personal assistant and providing home automation and security.

61.What does the first paragraph mainly talk about?

A. How social robots receive information.

B. What research has been conducted about social robots.

C. Why social robots can respond in lifelike ways.

D. How designers translate insights into social robots.

62. Examples are used in Paragraph 2 to show that social robots are .

A. filling an expanding variety of roles

B. getting higher intelligence

C. interacting with people

D. learning to respond in lifelike ways

63. According to the passage we know that_____________ .

A. social robots can have various forms and appearances

B. PARO can interact with people by moving its head like a dog

C. the most recent version of AIBO has achieved as great success as before

D. the sales of consumer robots have been increasing as ever expected

64. What is the best title for the passage?

A. More companies will invest on social robots.

B. Social robots play nicely with human beings.

C. Social robots have great effects on elder people's life.

D. Artificial intelligence enables social robots to make decisions.

My younger daughter, age 5, made a failed attempt during a recent school-night bedtime routine. In retaliation （报复）for my insistence that she actually stay in bed, she uttered the classic pint-sized revolutionary cry: "You're not in charge of me!"

“I am, actually;" I replied as I gently guided her back into bed. “I am in charge of keeping you safe and also helping you thrive （茁壮成长）,which means making sure you get a good night's sleep and a whole lot more?

I knew what I meant by “more" even if she didn't. I made a personal, unwritten covenant （契约）with my daughters, and even society, to do my part to raise two happy, virtuous, inspirational adults. And that requires teaching a good deal of life wisdom, role modeling and, at times, imposing behavior.

We are the boss. We can also be our kids' friend, sometimes. And we are always their teacher and coach. And don't forget lifeguard.

But we're in charge, even if we don't want to be. And it seems a lot of parents don't want to be.

I've noticed that for various reasons （trying to be cool/nice/laid back, maybe laziness, maybe in opposition to being raised with too many rules themselves）, many parents let their children call too many shots. I'm talking about screen time, bedtime, purchases, meal options and all the rest of it.

Letting kids decide these matters usually leads to poor outcomes for the kids themselves. A permissive parenting style leads to impulsive behavior, egocentrism 唯我主义）and poor social skills, according to Diana Baumrind, a developmental psychologist at the University of California, Berkeley.

Baumrind, one of the leading researchers on this topic, described the ideal parenting style as authoritative," neither too permissive nor too controlling. An authoritative parent has clear rules and high expectations while being warm and supportive and valuing in dependence. If we can do that for our children, her research showed, they will have greater self-esteem, social skills and academic performance.

The ideal, in other words, is a Buddhist Middle Way where we are in control but foster （培养）independence. But independence is not the same as giving them what their little id（本我）brains want all the time. Children may seem happy about getting their way, but it's actually an insecure world for them to inhabit where adults don't seem fully in charge.

Young kids' brains are not up to the task of making the best decisions anyway. From age 2 until 7, according to the pioneering child developmental psychologist Jean Piaget, a child naturally engages in egocentrism and magical thinking" —believing that they can affect the world with their thoughts—but not critical thinking. From about age 8 to 11, kids tend to actively seek rules, limits and bounda ries―but from parents and teachers, not from themselves; they want adults to draw the lines they can safely color in.

Typically, after age 11, critical thinking emerges. Real involvement in rules and limits can effectively begin then, but even teenagers need the assurance that you will always steer them in the right directions.

We also know that real life is full of rules—legal, societal, ethical （moral）or just politeness—and either we teach them or they will eventually be set straight in less-loving environments such as the playground, the principal's office, in front of a judge or in a professional boss’ office .

And being in charge doesn’t mean we need to micromanage behavior or be unkind. We should build in plenty of personal freedom and remain motivated by deep love and affection. But we must also be on top it, guiding them toward success.

Be a great boss to your kids. Mentor them. Give them opportunities to develop and shine. Always have their backs. Never fire them. Show them who's boss in the most caring of ways.

65. Many parents let their children call too many shots probably because____________.

A. they are cool and indifferent to their children

B. they want children to live with fewer rules

C. they are busy with meal options and so on

D. they believe it will lead to good outcomes

66. The psychologist Baumrind believes that _____________.

A. children are definitely to be ruined by permissive parenting style

B. rules are absolutely prior to anything in authoritative parenting

C. authoritative parents have to let children live independently

D. an ideal way means giving children-controlled independence

67. From age 2 to 11, children usually_____________ .

A. do not have the ability to make decisions yet

B. have no idea of rules, limits or boundaries at all

C. need parents and teachers to draw lines for them

D. know how to steer themselves in right directions

68. To be a great boss to his/her children, a parent needs to_____________.

A. micromanage everything or be unkind sometimes

B. guide children to success on the basis of deep love

C. win as many opportunities as possible to shine

D. let children know "who is the boss" in every way

69. What is the author's attitude towards parent's being in charge of children?

A. Supportive.

B. Critical

C. Ambiguous.

D. Indifferent.

70. What can we learn from this passage?

A. Ideal parents arc those neither too permissive nor too controlling.

B. Children under age 11 should not be allowed to make decisions.

C. Psychologists show children's self-esteem is from independence.

D. Adults are responsible to teach children all the rules in real life.

第四部分任务型阅读(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)

请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意：每个空格只填1个单词。请将答案写在答题纸上相应题号的横线上。

Should I live in the city or the suburbs?

There are three different kinds of areas you can live in: urban, suburban, and rural. You can describe living in a rural area as living out in the sticks or the county This type of living is seen as idyllic (田园生活的) for those seeking reprieve (暂时缓解) from crowds. Rural areas generally have small, self -sustaining populations.

Urban living is city living: active nightlife, full of noise, sophisticated public transit system and sometimes small and expensive city apartments. Urban areas tend to be densely (密集地) populated and have more intense traffic and pollution as a result.

For those seeking an intermediary between urban and rural living, the suburbs might be just the thing. Suburbs are large residential areas away from the core of town yet close enough to the city center.

Can you afford to live in the city?

Choosing whether to live in the city or the suburbs is often a matter of budget — where can you afford to live? By and large, living in the city is more expensive than living in the suburbs, though that's not always the case. For instance, in Las Vegas, Phoenix, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, and a few other cities, suburban living is not always better on your wallet.

Your lifestyle influences your happiness in the city or suburbs.

For someone who enjoys five-star restaurants, vibrant (充满活力的) nightlife, and fast-paced living, residing in an urban hub is a dream come true. On the other hand, if you find crowds and tons of noise unbearable, then a large city might feel like purgatory (炼狱).

Your lifestyle is one of the primary considerations in deciding where you ought to live. If you are into fishing, hiking, and spending time outdoors, then realize that you may have to drive several hours to enjoy your hobbies if you choose city living.

Is your career better suited for the city or suburbs?

Your career should also strongly influence your choice about whether to live in the city or in the suburbs. For example, if your job is in landscape, you might find it difficult to find work in the city because there is not a high demand for landscape artists. The fact of the matter is that most city homes don't have large yards with grass to cut, and competition for landscaping contracts is probably fierce. Similarly, a business executive (主管) may find that the suburbs do not offer the convenience afforded by city living.

The debate of whether to live in the suburbs or the city is long lasting and never-ending. When it all boils down to it, it is a matter of preference and budget, so go with your gut (决心) and you'll make the right choice.
