一、阅读理解（共 40 分）
During my third year of university, I spent six months studying in Rio de
Janeiro, Brazil. Many are worried about travelling to Rio but I promise, it is worth
a visit. Now I want to share my top recommendations (推荐) for experiencing Rio
less as a tourist but more like a native Brazilian.
Pedra Bonita
Rio is full of hiking routes, and some Brazilians love to spend an afternoon
hiking. My favorite route of all has to be Pedra Bonita. Pedra Bonita involves a
steep climb of about an hour through tall trees, and I admit it is difficult in Rio’s
heat, but you are rewarded at the top with a wonderful view of the city, standing
high above the green landscape and blue sea below.
Mureta da Urca
One thing you are sure to find in Rio is an amazing sunset, but a lot of the
best spots tend to be full of tourists. In my opinion, Mureta da Urca is the most
relaxing place to watch the sun set over the silver sea, with the figure of Christ the
Redeemer standing tall in the background.
Pedra do Sal
Pedra do Sal is a historical area in the city centre and on Monday nights it is
brought to life by the sound of samba. Hundreds of people gather in the street,
food and drink stalls are set up and it becomes a giant street party with everyone
enjoying the happy sound of live samba!
Picanha
If there were one Brazilian food I could bring back to the UK, it would be
picanha. It is the tastiest cut of steak I have ever tasted, served alongside rice and

beans.
1．The writer once went to Rio de Janeiro to ________.
A．stay there as a tourist for six months
B．study as a short-time international student
C．live as a native Brazilian
D．learn how to be a native Brazilian
2．Which of the following is probably the favorite of body-builders?
A．Pedra Bonita. B．Mureta da Urca.
C．Pedra do Sal. D．Picanha.
3．What can you enjoy in Pedra do Sal?
A．A wonderful view of the city. B．An amazing sunset.
C．A giant street party. D．A nice Brazilian food.
It’s late at night, the weather is bad, and you’re hungry. Your favorite
restaurant is a mile away, but you don’t want to leave the house, and you don’t
want to pay a $5 delivery fee and a tip for a $10 meal.
So, what can you do?
Back in the old days, you would have to go in the rain or learned to plan
ahead. But those days are coming to an end, at least in Washington DC．
About 20 knee-high robots recently have appeared on the sidewalks of the
nation’s capital, and they’re out to bring takeout food from restaurants to hungry
customers at home—while keeping the delivery cost to just a dollar.
Each of the robots seems like a box on sixwheels, and drives at an average
speed of 4 miles per hour. It has lights and a tall and bright orange flag to make it
more noticeable on the sidewalk.
The robot relies on artificial intelligence technology that draws input from

nine cameras, GPS and sensors. The cameras recognize a lot—including traffic
lights, crosswalks and stop signs. If a robot finds itself in a situation it doesn’t
understand, all the machine has to do is send a call for help. Then a human
operator in a remote control center can look through the cameras and figure out
the best action to take. That camera also provides security. If someone tries to
steal the robot, for example, the cameras can photograph the thief.
Law-makers in Washington DC, Virginia, Florida and Idaho have already
started to make such self-driving robots legal on the sidewalks. Other states have
also expressed interest.
“Robots like these will complete deliveries that normally wouldn’t have been
placed with the human-based delivery options of the past,” one of the law-makers
says, “But we have to be sure that they are not going to put people out of jobs.”
4．How much should you pay for a $10 meal delivered by robots?
A．$10. B．$1l. C．$15. D．$17.
5．Which paragraph mainly focuses on the robots’ appearances?
A．Paragraph 3. B．Paragraph 4.
C．Paragraph 5. D．Paragraph 6.
6．What are the law-makers worried about?
A．The robots’ reliability. B．The safety of the passers-by.
C．The high delivery costs. D．The possible unemployment.
7．In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?
A．Technology. B．Advertisement.
C．Law. D．Politics.
Would it surprise you to learn that the vast majority of adults—around 75
percent—tell up to two lies every day? What this suggests then is that you’ve
probably told a lie or two in the past 24 hours and chances are you've also been
