27、Traffic jam is a problem for cities around the world, with some looking to electric scooters（踏板车）to ease the problem, and others to AI-enabled traffic lights. But one company believes the solution is to build a network of driverless high-speed pods（吊舱）that ride around cities suspended（悬挂）from a steel track.

In June, Belarus-based uSky Transport opened a 400-meter test line in Sharjah（沙加）.From the outside, the electrically powered pods are white while the inside is designed to feel like a first-class airline suite, including mood lighting, music and floor-to-ceiling windows. With two padded armchairs and two foldable seats, the vehicle being tested can carry up to four passengers. A complete city-wide network could support 10, 000 passengers per hour, uSky says, with vehicles at present able to travel up to 150 kilometers per hour.

The company says its aim is to free up roads and ground spaces that could be used for greenery, walkways and public leisure spaces," The ground space is completely oversaturated, and people are tired of traffic jams. People are tired of emissions," says Oleg Zaretskiy, uSky Transport's CEO.

According to uSky, while one kilometer of subway can cost up to $ 150 million to construct, this system costs around $ 10 million. And by using less structural materials, it reduces carbon emissions. The company has also developed a similar technology to transport goods containers, carrying up to 48 tons at a top speed of 90 kilometers per hour.

Although she cautions that it would require careful planning to avoid traffic jam in a busy city-wide network, Haag believes it could still be a widely adopted solution if the promises of improved mobility and sustainability（持续性）are kept.

Zaretskiy says uSky is also looking beyond Sharjah. "We can see that the most promising areas for us are in the Middle East and Asia-places where there is natural growth of population, such as India and Pakistan," he says. Haag adds that pods are more suited to countries where public transportation is under-developed and there is increasing demand for mobility solutions. The company hopes to finalize its first commercial contract（商业合同）by the end of the year in Sharjah, Zaretskiy adds, meaning uSky pods could be running properly by 2024.

【1】What's the company's goal according to Oleg Zaretskiy?

A．To solve the problem of traffic jam completely.

B．To free up more ground space for other uses.

C．To compete with airplane companies.

D．To develop public transportation.

【2】What's the feature of uSky pods?

A．They are less safe to travel.

B．They are expensive to construct.

C．They are popular with most people.

D．They are environmentally friendly.

【3】What's the underlined word "oversaturated" in paragraph 3 probably mean?

A．Crowded.

B．Vast.

C．Clean.

D．Empty.

【4】What's the best title of the text?

A．USky Pods Help Cities Solve Traffic Problems

B．The Company USky Is Developing a New Product

C．USky Transport Competes with Airplane Companies

D．Some Countries Have Demand for Mobility Solutions

29、   In 2011, Nancy Ballard went for a routine checkup that turned into something extraordinary. In fact, she was carrying a painting of a plant she’d done when she arrived at her doctor’s San Francisco office. “It would be great if we had artwork like that for our chemotherapy (化疗) rooms,” the nurse said. Ballard asked to see one.

She was shocked by what she found. The walls were dull and bare, and the paint had fallen off. It was a room where sad patients are receiving their routine—patients limited themselves to chemo drips (点滴) for perhaps several hours, often with nothing to look at except those sad walls. Ballard didn’t have cancer herself, but she had pity on the patients. “I couldn’t imagine how anyone could even think about getting healthy in a room like that,” she says. As it happens, Ballard’s doctor, Stephen Hufford, was ill with cancer himself, so finding time to decorate the rooms was low on his to-do list. So Ballard made it her mission to brighten the place up.

She started by emailing 20 local designers. “I wrote, ‘You don’t know me. But my heart hurts after seeing these rooms.’” she said. She then asked whether they would donate their time and money to transform just one of Dr. Hufford’s rooms each.

As it happens, six of them wrote back almost immediately. Six rooms got new paint, light fixtures, artwork, and furniture. Dr. Hufford was delighted. “All the patients feel the relief of the pain because of it,” he said. He even noted that his own voice was different in the rooms and that he was better able to connect with his patients.

Ballard was so encouraged by the patients’ reaction that she created a non-profit organization, Rooms That Rock Chemo, to raise money and decorate more spaces. Since then, she has worked on 20 projects, including one in Pennsylvania. “We were in Philadelphia for an opening ceremony, and a woman was there on her third battle with cancer,” says Ballard. “When she saw what we’d done, she said, ‘I’m gonna beat it this time. I thought I wasn’t going to, but now I’m gonna beat it.’”

【1】What made Ballard decide to help decorate the chemotherapy rooms?

A.Her pity for cancer patients.

B.Her passion for room decoration.

C.The good relationship with Hufford.

D.The request of a nurse in San Francisco.

【2】What result does Ballard’s efforts bring about?

A.More hospitals will be built.

B.Hufford cured more patients.

C.The cancer patients were feeling better.

D.Hufford’s chemotherapy rooms got good reputation.

【3】Which words best describe Nancy Ballard?

A.Rich and generous. B.Talented and energetic.

C.Loving and devoted. D.Ambitious and creative.

【4】Which can be a suitable title for the passage?

A.Battle Against Cancer B.Design for Hope

C.Donation for Patients D.Decoration in Hospital

31、Directions: Complete the following passages by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

The elementary means of communicating with other people is conveying messages by voice. This fact is widely acknowledged and we recognize the voice as a(n) 【1】 characterizing the identity of a person. The array of voices is immeasurable as no two are exactly similar. They can be nasal, resonant or shrill produced in accordance with the individual physical【2】 of the throat.

One possible implementation of the 【3】 of voice recognition is voice profiling used by police analysts as a method of substantiating court evidence in trials. Every year, thousands of audiotapes with recorded interviews or 【4】 utterances are put to the purpose to help identify the probable 【5】. Specialists dealing with the voice investigation claim that people can give themselves away by their 【6】, inflections or other voice attributes like pitch, intensity and loudness. A recorded sample is usually 【7】 into electric impulses and later transformed into a pictorial recoding which is processed by a computer program. Very frequently voice analyst have a stake at deciphering the relevant information which may be 【8】 with background noise or other interfering sounds until they attain the 【9】 results.

Thankfully, these efforts help the police detect individuals who threaten their victims by phone or inform about bomb 【10】 or those who make offensive calls disturbing the peach of decent citizens.
