19、lour(殡仪馆), always in heels, toes bleeding. Her employer insisted. Why do we have to hurt our feet at work, when men can wear flat shoes? she complained on Twitter. The tweet exploded. Encouraged, she gathered 18, 800 signatures on a petition(请愿书)calling for a ban on employers requiring women to wear
20、 high heels, which she submitted to the government last June. Ms. Ishikawa became the face of the KuToo - 5 - campaign-a pun on Japanese words for shoes (kutsu) and pain (kutsuu), with a response to the MeToo movement. More than 60% of Japanese women with jobs have been forced to squeeze their feet
21、into heels at work or have witnessed colleagues having to, according to a survey. Female staff at Takashimaya, a department store, must parade around the shop in 5cm heels.

22、is is especially unreasonable for those who find contact lenses(隐形 眼镜)uncomfortable. Japanese bosses, who tend to be older men, often expect their female employees to endure it. The government has dug in its heels. A former labor minister, who received Ms. Ishikawas petition last year, insists that
23、wearing high heels at work is necessary and appropriate. The petition itself has received no official response to date. But Japanese companies are slowly responding to KuToo. In late March Japan Airlines announced that its female flight attendants can kick off their heels and swap skirts for trouser

However, with advanced trials expected from 2021, they are a lot closer to reality than you may think. The - 6 - introduction of self-drivin
28、g cars could have a major impact on how older adults go about their daily lives. It is hoped these cars will help reduce the social isolation and loneliness we often experience as we get older. Connected and automated vehicles (also known as CAVs), are vehicles that can perform many of the functions
29、 of todays human drivers in the future. Vehicles can connect to the internet to provide drivers with information on road, traffic and weather conditions. They can also take over limited parts of the driving task, for example, using advanced emergency braking to help avoid crashes and adaptive. cruis
30、e control(自适应巡航控制)to increase fuel efficiency and reduce driving tiredness. Aware of the potential benefits of the technology-from improving road safety and reducing traffic jams, to enabling greater travel independence, the UK government has been playing an active role in encouraging the technology
31、. Indeed, it has committed to spending over 200 million on research and development and testing infrastructure(基础设施)to accelerate the delivery of safe and secure automated vehicles. The government is also taking big steps towards establishing how our laws and regulations might need to change to supp
32、ort the safe use of self-driving cars. Meanwhile, insurance isnt as big a problem as it may first seem. Last year the government created new insurance rules for self-driving cars. The driver of an automated vehicle must get insurance that covers them when they are in control and when they hand contr
33、ol to their self-driving car. The insurer would pay compensation(赔偿) if the automated vehicle caused a crash, and then recover costs from whoever was responsible-and that could include the vehicle maker. 28.

36、suitable title for the passage? A. CAVs Are on the Way B. Good News for the Old C. UK, the First Country to Develop CAVs D. Self-driving Cars, a Revolutionary Invention D This week Xingliang Zhang of Northwest University in China reports in Science the discovery of a new site full of soft-bodied ani
37、mals that have never been seen before. For soft-bodied animals to be preserved, something disastrous must take place. In the case of the worlds two most famous Cambrian(寒武纪)sites, the Burgess Shale accumulation in Canada and the Chengjiang site, this disaster was a series of storms that dumped vast
38、quantities of mud upon a community of animals, burying them alive. The new site that Dr Zhang is reporting, known as Qingjiang, is similar to the others in that the animals seem to have been killed by a sudden mud burial. However, that is where the similarities end. Qingjiang has produced over 20, 0
39、00 specimens(样本)thus far. Of these, 4, 351 have been properly analysed and are thought to represent around 100 groups of creatures. Dr Zhang and his colleagues estimate that 54 of these groups have never been seen before. There are some familiar animals like cnidarians(刺细胞动物), but these also raise q
40、uite a lot of questions. Cnidarians exist widely in modern oceans and have simplistic bodies that suggest they evolved early during the rise of animal life. Given this, it was expected that cnidarians would be common in the sedimentary layers when the Burgess Shale and Chengjiang sites were first un
41、earthed. But precisely the opposite proved true. Qingjiang surprised Dr Zhang by being loaded with spectacularly well-preserved members of this soft-bodied group. Containing everything from delicate comb jellies to the medusae(水母), Qingjiang reveals that these animals were well established at the ti
42、me and rapidly multiplying in some environments. Precisely what these environmental differences were though, remains the subject of considerable inquiry. Anyway, the discovery of the fossils could make clear the diversity of extinct creatures as well as their connection with animals in modem times,
43、said Zhao Fangchen, a researcher of Chinese Academy of Sciences. 32. What is the most probable reason of those soft-bodied animals being so well-preserved? A. Existing widely in some environments. B. Being buried alive by a sudden mud. - 8 - C. Being abandoned during evolution. D. Being well-establi
44、shed at the time. 33. In what way is Qingjiang site different from others? A. 100 groups of creatures were found in Qingjiang site for the first time. B. Cnidarians were common in Burgess Shale and Chengjiang sites. C. Cnidarians existed in large numbers in Qingjiang site. D. The animals were killed
45、 by something disastrous. 34. What can we learn about cnidarians from the passage? A. They became extinct because of sudden mud burials. B. The environmental differences of their existence are clear now. C. Their bodies are so simplistic that they can be easily wiped out. D. They developed at the be
46、ginning of the appearance of animal life. 35. What is the main purpose of this passage? A. To bring us some knowledge about Qingjiang site. B. To display the diversity of extinct water creatures. C. To illustrate the significance of archaeology. D. To distinguish Qingjiang site from others. 第二节(共 5
