The morning had been a disaster. My tooth was aching. And I’d been in an argument with
a friend. Her words still hurt：“The trouble with you is that you won’t put yourself in my
place. Can’t you see things from my point of view？” I shook my head stubbornly—and felt the ache in my tooth. I’d thought I could hold out till my dentist came back from holiday, but the pain was really unbearable. I started calling the dentists in the phone book, but no one could see me immediately. Finally, at about lunchtime, I got lucky.
“If you come by right now,” the receptionist said, “the dentist will fit you in.”
I took my puree and keys and rushed to my car. But suddenly I began to doubt about the
dentist. What kind of dentist would be so eager to treat someone at such short notice？ Why wasn't he as busy as the others？
In the dentist's office, I sat down and looked around. I saw nothing but the bare walls and I became even more worried. The assistant noticed my nervousness and placed her warm hand over my ice-cold one.
When I told her my fears, she laughed and said, "Don't worry. The dentist is very good. "
"How long do I have to wait for him？" I asked impatiently.
"Come on, he is coming. Just lie down and relax. And enjoy the artwork," the assistant said.
"The artwork？" I was puzzled.
The chair went back. Suddenly I smiled. There was a beautiful picture, right where I could enjoy it：on the ceiling. How considerate the dentist was! At that moment, I began to
understand what my friend meant by her words.
What a relief!
4. Which of the following best describes the author’s feeling that morning？
A. Cheerful.
B. Nervous.
C. Satisfied.
D. Upset.
5. What made the author begin to doubt about the dentist？
A. The dentist's agreeing to treat her at very short notice.
B. The dentist's being as busy as the other dentists.
C. The surroundings of the dentist's office.
D. The laughing assistant of the dentist.
6. Why did the author suddenly smile？
A. Because the dentist came at last.
B. Because she saw a picture on the ceiling.
C. Because she could relax in the chair.
D. Because the assistant kept comforting her.
7. What did the author learn from her experience most probably？
A. Strike while the iron is hot.
B. Have a good word for one's friend.
C. Put oneself in other's shoes.
D. A friend in need is a friend indeed.
C
You might think that “global warming” means nothing more than a rise in the world’s temperature. But rising sea levels caused by it have resulted in the first evacuation（撤离）of an island nation—the citizens of Tuvalu will have to leave their homeland.
During the 20th century, sea level rose 8—12 inches. As a result. Tuvalu has experienced lowland flooding of salt water which has polluted the country’s drinking water.
Paani Laupepa, a Tuvaluan government official , reported to the Earth Policy Institute that the nation suffered an unusaually high number of fierce storms in the past ten years .Many scientists connect higher surface water temperatures resulting from global warming to greater and more damaging storms.
Laupepa expressed dissatisfaction with the United States for refusing to sign the Kyoto Protocol, an international agreement calling for industrialized nations to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions（导致温室效应的气体排放）,which are a main cause of global warming . “By refusing to sign the agreement, the US has effectively taken away the freedom of future generations of Tuvaluans to live where their forefathers have lived for thousands of year s,” Laupepa told the BBC.
Tuvalu has asked Australia and New Zealand to allow the gradual move of its people to both countries .
Tuvalu is not the only country that is vulnerable （易受影响的）to rising sea levels. Maumoon Gayoon, president of the Maldives, told the United Nations that global warming has made his country of 311,000 an “endangered nation”.
8．The text is mainly about .
A．rapid changes in the earth’s temperature B．bad effects of global warming C．moving of a country to a new place D．reasons for lowland flooding
9．According to scientists ,the DIRECT cause of more and fiercer storms is . A．greenhouse gas emissions in industrialized nations
B．higher surface water temperatures of the sea
C．continuous global warming
D．rising sea levels
10．Laupepa was not satisfied with the United States because it did not .
A．agree to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions B．sign an agreement with Tuvalu C．allow Tuvaluans to move to the US D．believe the problems facing Tuvalu were real 11．The country whose situation is similar to that of Tuvalu is .
A．Australia B．New Zealand C．the Maldives D．the United States
D
Many Americans think of driverless cars as a futuristic technology that will revolutionize travel in cities and along state highways. But recent experiments are proving that autonomous vehicles also have the potential to improve the quality of life for millions of Americans underserved by traditional modes of transportation, such as the elderly and disabled, so long as lawmakers make smart policies that pave the way for innovation.
A retirement community in San Jose, Calif. , which has been transformed by a small fleet of driverless taxis, shows the potential of self-driving cars to transform people’s lives.
B uilt by a tech start-up called Voyage, the modified Ford Fusions are currently limited to a two-mile road, but residents are already having the benefits of these autonomous vehicles, which allow them to participate in social activities they would otherwise be unable to enjoy simply because they could not get to them.
When the trial run finally expands to 15 miles of road, these residents—whose average age is 76—will also have a convenient and reliable new way to appointments. As these cars continue to serve residents there, it is easy to understand why California is moving to simplify regulations for the industry.
In Michigan, forward-thinking policies have the potential to unlock other hidden benefits of autonomous vehicles, especially for those with physical disabilities. The Michigan Disability Rights Coalition has strongly advocated for the development of this technology, saying that it could give people with disabilities greater opportunities in the workforce and enable them to lead more fulfilling, independent lives.
Many recognize that autonomous vehicles will be the future of transportation, but it is too often overlooked that this future cannot arrive fast enough for millions of Americans who are
forced to depend on others for day-to-day travel. The policymakers should follow the lead of places like California and Michigan, and pass rules and regulations to unlock these hidden benefits of driverless cars.
12. What’s the attitude of most American people to the future of autonomous vehicles？
A. uncertain
B. doubtful
C. indifferent
D. optimistic
13. What is the modified Ford Fusion？
A. The collection of social activities.
B. The name of a retirement community.
C. A kind of autonomous vehicle.
D. A two-mile road for self-driving cars.
14 Examples are given in the third and forth paragraphs to prove______
A. what are preventing the development of the technology
B. why driverless cars are restricted in many states in America
C. how driverless technology benefits the aged and disabled
D. when driverless cars can enter people’s life eventually
15. What does the author attempt to inform us in the last paragraph？
A. The concept of autonomous vehicles has been widely recognized.
B. The weak groups are often overlooked despite technology advances.
C. The benefits of driverless cars have been fully unlocked.
D. Regulations should go hand in hand with driverless technology.
