It is made up of “motor” and “hotel” and it is really a hotel for people who arrive
10、by car (however, you dont need a car to stay at one). You have to pay when you arrive for your room, which usually has abath. Meals are not provided, but there will certainly be a cafeteria (自助餐馆). Americans eat alot of salads and sandwiches. Along the main roads there are a lot of motels. Each trie
11、s to offer more than next. Some provide television in every bedroom; others have swimming pools; and so on. Motels are especially useful when you are in the country, far from a town or city. You will also find them in the big National Parks.In these great National Parks, you may meet guests you dont
12、 expect to see. An American friend told me a little story. In the middle of a moonless night she heard strange noises outside her motel window in the Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming. Thinking it might be a thief, she jumped out of bed, opened the door and crept towards a dark shadow. As she got
13、 close, she saw the thief. She was dreadfully frightened: it wasnt a human thief it was a big black bear. The bear was turning over some empty tins with its paw, looking for tasty bits of food. My friend decided to leave that particular thief alone!There are also, of course, places called “rooming h
14、ouses”, where they receive lodgers (房客). You will see such signs as Tourists or Rooms Rent, and you could try one of these. A word of warning looking for a room in New York during the tourist season is like looking for gold on the moon! Which of the following is TRUE about motels?They are free for p
15、eople who arrive by car.The word “motel” is formed by two words.You can only find motels in the big National Parks.If you want to stay at a motel, you must have a car.The underlined word “crept” in the second paragraph probably means“ ”.moved slowly B. rushed out C. ran fast D. threw awayThe second
16、paragraph mainly tells us .an interesting storybears usually look for food at nightthe experience of the authors friendwe may meet animals in the National ParksFrom the last paragraph, we can learn that in New York during the tourist season .tourists can find gold thereit is difficult to find a room
17、 theretourists can have a sweet dream therethere is warning for tourists to New YorkBMr. Peter Johnson, aged twenty-three, battled for half an hour to escape from his trapped car yesterday when it landed upside down in three feet of water. Mr. Johnson took the only escape routethrough the boot (行李箱)
18、.Mr. Johnsons car had finished up in a ditch (沟渠) at Romney Marsin, Kent, after skiddingon ice and hitting a bank. “Fortunately, the water began to come in only slowly,” Mr. Johnson said, “I couldnt force the doors because they were jammed against the walls of the ditch and dared not open the window
19、s because I knew water would come flooding in.”Mr. Johnson, a sweet salesman of Sitting Home, Kent, first tried to attract the attention of other motorists by sounding the horn and hammering on the roof and boot. Then he began his struggle to escape.Later he said, “It was really a half penny that sa
20、ved my life. It was the only coin I had in my pocket and I used it to unscrew the back seat to get into the boot. I hammered desperately with a hammer trying to make someone hear, but no help came.”It took ten minutes to unscrew the seat, and a further five minutes to clear the sweet samples from th
21、e boot. Then Mr. Johnson found a wrench(扳钳) and began to work on the boot lock.Fifteen minutes passed by. “It was the only chance I had. Finally it gave, but as soon as I moved the boot lid, the water and mud poured in. I forced the lid down into the mud and scrambled clear as the car filled up.”His
22、 hands and arms cut and bruised，Mr. Johnson got to Beckett Farm nearby, where he waslooked after by the farmers wife, Mrs. Lucy Bates. Trembling in a blanket, he said, “That thirty minutes seemed like hours.” Only the tips of the car wheels were visible, police said last night. The vehicle had sunk
23、into two feet of mud at the bottom of the ditch.In which section of a newspaper can we read this article?A. Book review B. News report C. Campus life D. Continued storyThe underlined sentence in Paragraph 5 “Finally it gave” means that .the lock came open after all his efforts B. at last the wrench
24、went brokenC. luckily the door was torn away in the end D. the chance was lost at the last minuteIt can be inferred from the passage that .the ditch was along a quiet country roadthe accident happened on a clear warm daythe police helped Mr. Johnson get out of the ditchMr. Johnson had a tender wife
25、and was well attendedCThe term “Industry 4.0” refers to the fourth industrial revolution. The first industrial revolution was the production of goods with machines like steam engines, which was followed by the second industrial revolution that introduced mass production with the help of electric pow
26、er,followed by the digital revolution the use of electronics and IT in production.Industry 4.0 is a high-tech project, which promotes the computerization of manufacturing (制 造业). The basic principle of Industry 4.0 is that by connecting machines, work pieces and systems, we are creating intelligent
27、networks along the entire value chain that can control eachother automatically. The goal is the Smart Factory, which adapts well and uses resources efficiently, as well as linking customers and business partners with great intelligence. Technological basis are the Internet systems and advanced facto
28、ries. Experts believe that Industry4.0 could be a reality in about 10 to 20 years.So, what effects does this change have on the classic manufacturing? According to an expert, “it is highly likely that the world of production will become more and more networked until everything is connected with ever
29、ything else.” Networks and processes have so far been limited toone factory. But in the time of Industry 4.0, the boundaries (界限) of individual factories will mostlikely no longer exist. Instead, they will be lifted in order to inter-connect multiple factories or even geographical regions.How is an
30、Industry 4.0 factory different from a todays factory? In current industry environment, providing high-end quality service or product with the least cost is the key to success. Factories are trying to increase their profit as much as possible. In the time of Industry 4.0, various data sources are ava
31、ilable to provide worthwhile information about different aspects of the factory. Using data for understanding the current condition and checking faults and failures is a natural thing. The sharing of information around the clock and around the globe will enable these connected systems to manage them
32、selves independently, work more efficiently and identify any errors quickly.The good news is that Europe is much better prepared for the Industry 4.0 revolution than one might think. Europe will position itself as a pioneer in the fourth revolution. Industry 4.0 is a project in the high-tech strategy of the German government. Meanwhile, in the U.S., some companies are also working hard on it.
