Robert Ilijason, a 39-year-old IT specialist, once had to drive 20 minutes with his screaming baby in the backseat to an open grocery store to buy food for his hungry son. It was the late-night experience that gave Robert Ilijason the idea to open Sweden’s first unstaffed convenience store.

Now Robert Ilijason runs a 24-hour shop with no cashier. Customers use their cellphones to unlock the door and scan their purchases. All they need to do is to register for the service and download an app. They get charged for their purchases each month.

The shop has basics like milk, break, sugar, canned food and other products that you expect to find in a small convenience tore. But it doesn’t have tobacco or medical drugs because of the risk of theft. Alcohol cannot be sold in convenience stores in Sweden.

The no-service store has more advantages. Raymond Arvidsson, a friend of Ilijason’s , did his shopping in less than a minute. “No queues,” he said, smiling. “Quick in, quick out. I like.”

“My ambition is to spread this idea to other villages and small towns,” said Ilijason. “It is incredible that no one has thought of this before.” He hopes the savings of having no staff will help bring back small stores to the countryside.

But a bigger challenge has been facing some of the elderly residents in Viken. Tuve Nilsson, 75, said there were many more shops in the town when he moved here with his family in 1976. He welcomed Ilijason’s new store, saying it could be convenient for elderly people living alone. But he didn’t know how to get the hang of the technology involved.

Ilijason is considering other ways to unlock the door that wouldn’t require using an app. He’s ruled out face-recognition or fingerprint scanners, but is thinking of installing a credit card reader like some banks use. He’s also considering having one person man the store for a few hours a day to help customers who aren’t comfortable with modem technology. 24. Robert Ilijason’s late-night experience is mentioned to tell us .

A. why he opened the unstaffed food shop B. how to open the unstaffed food shop C. how to look after the hungry children D. an open grocery store is very important

25. What can we know about Robert Ilijason’s first unstaffed food shop?

A. It charges customers for nothing. B. Customers can purchase goods in cash C. What customers need is a phone

2

D. Customers can buy whatever they want.

26. From what Raymond Arvidsson said, we learn the shop is well known for . A. its wonderful food B. its kind service C. its good safety D. its quick purchase 27. It can be inferred from the passage that . A. Ilijason’s store has no disadvantages

B. all the customers are not comfortable with modern te4chnology C. Ilijason will not open another kind of this no-service tore D. face-recognition will be dismissed in Ilijason’s new store

C

A reformative floating dam that traps plastic bags, bottles and other pieces polluting the world’s oceans will be tested in the North Sea for the first time in 2016. The Ocean Cleanup Organization plans to install this revolutionary 328-foot-long barrier in the summer, off the coast of the Netherlands.

Compared to other clean up methods, Ocean Cleanup’s barrier uses sea flows to passively ensnare(诱导) waves of garbage, while allowing fish and other sea creatures through, according to a news release. Researchers have tested the floating dams using extensive computer modeling and scale model in controlled environments. Since they have proved successful, engineers believe it is time to move the barrier to the next stage of development: open waters.

Each arm of floating dam has a screen that hangs 10 feet below the water’s surface, blocking waste and directing it to a central point where it can be collected for recycling. Cameras and sensors will regularly monitor the motions of the barrier and the loads on the system. That way researchers can better assess if their design can be used to clean up the world’s oceanic garbage patches(片).

The Great Pacific Garbage Patch spans (跨越)waters from the West Coast of North America to Japan. Strong sea flows draw large amounts of plastic debris(杂物) to this area. Supposing this floating dam is successful, researchers hope to make a 62 mile-long V-shaped barrier in this area in 2020.

“Taking care of the world’s ocean garbage problem is one of the largest environmental challenges mankind faces today.” Dutch innovator Boyan Slat said. “Not only will this first cleanup task contribute to cleaner waters and coasts but it is an essential step towards our goal of cleaning up the Great Pacific Garbage Patch.”

28. We can learn from the passage that the floating dam . A. is a 62 mile-long V-shaped barrier B. has begun working in the ocean C. can save many sea animals D. will be put into trial use this year 29. How does Ocean Cleanup’s barrier function?

A. By collecting and recycling waste.

B. By using sea waves to passively direct garbage and sea animals. C. By blocking plastic bags, bottles and other pieces. D. By providing sea animals with much cleaner water.

30. The screen hanging 10 feet below the water’s surface aims to .

A. move the barrier to the next stage

B. regularly monitor the motions of the barrier C. give researchers a better assessment D. help to send the waste to a proper place

31. What is Boyan Slat’s attitude towards the floating dam?

A. positive. B. Critical C. disapproval D. Passive.

D

Look back through history at all the famous and distinguished persons. Albert Einstein, Isaac Newton, etc, all had one thing in common: they were all extremely curious about the world around them.

Curiosity will have you asking questions always. Whenever you come across something new, you’ll be asking, “what is this?”, “Who made it “, etc. You will go hunting for the answers and won’t rest until you find them.

This journey from ignorance to knowledge and all the things that happen in between will bring you new experiences.

Curiosity will naturally make you learn, understand, interact, and experience more. As such, it will help you better explore your inner potentials, opening up a whole new world of possibilities.

For instance, you might be an engineer by qualification, but if you are curious, you might want to find out how articles on the Internet are written. It might even happen that, while exploring the process of writing, you may find out that you actually enjoy doing it , and that people like reading your work.

Some Study Habits to Avoid

Students can settle in to a false sense of security if they take the time to study but don’t remember much of the information. Why? 36 Are you guilty of these bad habits of studying?

37 Reading your text book is a great first step when it comes to studying, but you can’t just read your text book or passage. To study effectively, you have to get active with the material in your book. The more we “work” with information, the more we remember it .

Fail to preview

When you do your readings before class, you establish “drawers and files” for the information you hear in call lectures. Without this ready storage system, your brain doesn’t know where to file things. 38 Use flashcards less

Flashcards are terrific study tools, but you have to learn to use flashcards the right way in order to make the most of your study time. 39 Quiz yourself repeatedly until you can define every term form memory.

Study late night before your test

40 However this is a dangerous practice. When this happens, you run the risk of getting too little sleep and taking the test in a zombie-like state. You just defeat the purpose of studying in the first place if you try to take a test in a dozy haze. Take care of your brain and give it the rest it needs on the night before your test.

A. Ignore images.

B. Students love to stay up late to study. C. Students love to stay up late to study.

D. You are more likely to get lost in confusion. E. And work that information into your flashcards.

F. Put key terms or dates on one side and definitions on the other. G. This happens because they don’t study in the most effective way. 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）

When we consider a 62 (various) of factors that play a role in determining whether a person is successful in life, ambition and action are two of the first to come to mind.

Numerous examples can 64 (give) easily, but this will be enough, For example, a young man who devotes himself to becoming a great chef might decide to buy some cookbooks, spend several weekends practicing his techniques, or take 65 a part-time job at a local restaurant. On the other hand, if he simply ended up 66 (spend) all his spare time surfing the Internet or playing video games, neither of 67 would give him the skills or experience needed to succeed.

In conclusion, doing great or small things 68 (be) of the same importance for a success. The former gives us the drive and direction to move forward, while the enables us 69 (realize) our dreams. In combination, they represent the winning formula(公式) that will put us 70 (firm) on the road to success.
