A man has sharp eyes and keen ears ，analyzes through his brain ，and maintains coordination between his hands and brains. He can control a fast-moving car with different parts of his body. 28 Apparently there isn't anyone in the driver's cab ，but there is in fact a virtual driver1. This virtual driver has eyes ，brains ，hands and feet too. The minicameras on each side of the car are its eyes and are responsible for observing the road conditions ahead of it aswell as the traffic to its left and right. If you open the boot，you can see the most important part of the automatic driving system: a built-in computer. 29The brain of the car is responsible for calculating the speeds objects surrounding the car are moving at2, analyzing their position on the road, choosing the right path, and giving orders to the wheel and the control system.In comparison with the human brain, the virtual driver's best advantage is that it reacts quickly. 30However, it takes the world's best racecar driver at least one second to react, and this doesn't include the time he needs to take action.With its rapid reaction and accurate control，the virtual driver can reduce the accident rate on expressways considerably. In this case, is it possible for us to let it have the wheel3 at any time and in any place? 31 . With its limited ability to recognize things, the car can now only travel on expressways.The intelligent car determines its direction by the clear lines that mark the lanes clearly and recognizes vehicles according to their regular shapes. 32 . This being the case4, people still have high hopes about driverless cars，and think highly intelligent cars are what the cars of the future should be like5.A．Experts say that we cannot do that just yet.B．In the near future，intelligent cars will be put into commercial operation.C．This is the brain of the car.D．But how does an intelligent car control itself?E. It completes the processing of the images sent by the cameras within 100 milliseconds.F．However, it cannot recognize moving people and bicycles on ordinary roads that have no clear markings on them.(1) Directions: Write an outline on the topic “The importance of Competition”(10 points)(2) Directions:Write an exposition in NO LESS THAN 200 words based on theoutline which you have written.

Reading comprehension (30 points, 2 points for each) )Centuries ago, man discovered that removing moisture from food helps to preserve it, and that the easiest way to do this is to expose the food to sun and wind. In this way the North American Indians produce pemmican (dried meat ground into powder and made into cakes), the Scandinavians make stockfish and the Arabs dried dates and "apricot leather".All foods include water – cabbage and other leaf vegetables contain as much as 93% water, potatoes and other root vegetables 80%, lean meat 75% and fish, anything from 80% to 60%, depending on how fatty it is. If this water is removed, the activity of the bacteria which cause food to go bad is checked.Fruit is sun-dried in Asia Minor, Greece, Spain and other Mediterranean countries, and also in California, South Africa and Australia. The methods used vary, but in general, the fruit is spread out on trays in drying yards in the hot sun. In order to prevent darkening, pears, peaches and apricots are exposed to the fumes of burning sulfur before drying. Plums, for making prunes, and certain varieties of grapes for making raisins and currants, are dipped in an alkaline solution in order to crack the skins of the fruit slightly and remove their wax coating, so as to increase the rate of drying.Nowadays most foods are dried mechanically. The conventional method of such dehydration is to put food in chambers through which hot air is blown at temperatures of about 110℃ at entry to about 43℃ at exit. This is the usual method for drying such things as vegetables, minced meat, and fish.Liquids such as milk, coffee, tea, soups and eggs may be dried by pouring them over a heated steel cylinder by spraying them into a chamber through which a current of hot air passes. In the first case, the dried material is scraped off the roller as a thin film which is then broken up into small, though still relatively coarse flakes. In the second process it falls to the bottom of the chamber as a fine powder. Where recognizable pieces of meat and vegetables are required, as in soup, the ingredients are dried separately and then mixed.Dried foods take up less room and weigh less than the same food packed in cans or frozen, and they do not need to be stored in special conditions. For these reasons they are invaluable to the climbers, explorers and soldiers in battle, who have little storage space. They are also popular with housewives because it takes so little time to cook them. Usually it is just a case of replacing the dried-out moisture with boiling water.1. The open-air method of drying food ___.A. is the one most commonly used todayB. was invented by the American IndiansC. has been known for hundreds of yearsD. tends to be unhygienic2. Bacteria which cause food to go bad ___.A. cannot live in sunlightB. are killed by dryingC. are in no way dependent on the water contentD. have their activity greatly reduced by drying3. Nowadays vegetables are most commonly dried ___.A. on horizontal cylindersB. in hot-air chambersC. in the sun and windD. using the open tray method4. Dried foods ___.A. are often packed in cans or frozenB. are used by soldiers and climbersC. need more storage space than soldiers usually have availableD. are much cheaper than canned or frozen products5. Housewives like dried foods because they ___.A. are quick to prepareB. taste betterC. can be preserved by boiling in waterD. look fresh and appetizing when cookedPassage BDisneyland, Knott’s Berry Farm, magic Mountain, the state Fair, amusement parks… all of these are great family destinations, yet the cost of the admission ticket alone can put a severe crimp in the family budget. Once at the park, children are so tempted by the wide array of food and choices that a day intended for family fun can sometimes turn into an unpleasant nag fest. While it is a parent’s job to say “no” at appropriated times, saying no during a special day intended for family togetherness can definitely diminish the fun for both adult and child.When our children were in early elementary school, we came up with a plan that took the “yes” and “no”spending decision out of our hands, and placed it into theirs.We were off to Disneyland, and during previous visits our son would badger us for a treat each time we passed a vendor, or nagged us to buy souvenirs from the various shops. Before going to the amusement park, we told our children how much we could afford to spend for the day. We then explained that we could be giving them each their share of the money, and it would be totally their decision how to spend it. The money would cover any of the day’s food, beverages or souvenirs. If they wanted to spend the entire amount on frozen bonanzas, that was their choice. But once their portion was gone, it was gone.To avoid the possibility of our children losing their money, we placed their funds in separate envelopes, and I offered to keep it for them. Whenever they wanted to buy something, they just needed to ask for the money.It was interesting how differently our two children budgeted their portion. Our daughter, who is three years younger than her brother, and was barely old enough to add, breezed through the day. At lunch time, she allotted money for her food and beverage, and managed to buy a sack and souvenirs. Our son, who usually found something he had to have at every corner, turned into a nervous miser. At lunch time, he wouldn’t even splurge for a soda, and when he saw something he wanted to buy, he studies it until he decided he didn’t need it.By the end of the day, our daughter had spent her share, and seemed quite pleased with the choices she’s made. Our son, who had spent very little, was suddenly frantic to buy something (anything) with his remaining cash. I felt a little sorry for him, because while we (as parents) had an enjoyable day, free from the responsibility of monitoring our children’s spending, his day was spent dealing with the consequences of his choices.6. The author is concerned about ______ in the passage.A. spending responsibilityB. the cost of the admission ticketC. the family budgetD. great family destinations7. According to the author, the best way to reduce the family’s spending while going out to have fun is that _____.A. parents decide what to buy for their childrenB. parents say “no” whenever their children ask to buy somethingC. children themselves decide to buy whatever they wantD. children are allotted a sum of money and they decide what to buy8. While in Disney land, what did the author’s son do with his own money?A. He was hesitant to spend his own money.B. He managed to buy things at every corner.C. He was happy and free with his money.D. He used up his money quickly and asked for money again.9. Which of the following is Not true, according to the story?A. Both of the parents had an enjoyable day.B. Both parents and children learned something about how to spend money.C. Both parents and children learned something about how to spend money.D. Both the son and daughter had spent all their money.10. What do you think is the tone in which the author has described his son?A. RegretB. ReliefC. WorryD. ApprovalPassage COne of the aims of teaching science is, through learning, to enable students to develop a complete personality by creativity, honesty, eagerness to acquire knowledge, freedom of speech and thought, and critical assessment. This is an ambitious aim which we unfortunately, rarely consider. During teaching we devote our attention more to the content rather than the aims. We thus see that science is one of the school subjects least favored by students.The emotional elements of music, dancing, painting, poetry and drama have a strong emotional impact on students. For science to evoke the same feelings, it should be taught with the help of the expressive arts. Unlike traditional didactic approaches, drama also offers a synthesis of visual, kinetic and auditory experiences, apart from the understanding of facts and figures as a result of rational and analytical perception. Drama and other artistic activities can assist in reaching the cognitive goals of the curriculum, as they effective means of motivation. Isn’t there a better chance that students who have developed a love for science will learn it more easily? Science too can be aesthetic, creative and emotional.By using drama techniques, we facilitate collaboration between the left and right hemispheres of the brain, whereas traditional techniques of teaching science stress only the use of abilities found in the left hemisphere—that is, the analytical perception of scientific notions and phenomena. We allow students to engage in the learning process as full personalities with all their knowledge and abilities. Thus we develop not only logical and mathematical intelligence, but also a wider spectrum of the students’ abilities. Our educational experience is largely based on a linear perception of the subject. As students, we have not been used to developing ways of creative and intuitive thinking, especially in scientific subjects. This is why combing expressive arts with science is accepted with difficulty by many.When using drama in teaching science, we meet paradoxes which can, on the one hand, make the use of drama unsuccessful, and, on the other hand, enable the knowledge of science to be integrated into society and social phenomena that is life in general. Science is taught on the basis of scientific discoveries—laws and explanations of phenomena which are clearly defined and allow no individual or sociological interpretations. Drama, however, is based on developing imagination and different individual interpretations of the same event. Stealing a wallet, for example, will be interpreted as something negative by the owner and as something positive by the pickpocket. Drama broadens our imagination, science is said to narrow it. When observing traditional didactic forms of teaching science, we see that students are required to understand very abstract notions. The notion of the atom or the molecule is demonstrated by concrete means including symbols, various types of atom and molecule models, sketches, experiments, photographs and animated films. These help students to develop their imagination and conceptions which can, individually, be very different despite the fact that they were all taught with the same techniques and materials.These differences arise from the differences in students’ personalities. We must take into account that students have different sensory abilities. They receive information through visual, auditory and kinetic channels of perception with different intensity. They also have different intellectual abilities. Thus it is easyfor some students to logically combine scientific laws with scientific phenomena or visualize what the latter looks like.11. The fact that students dislike science class is because science classes _____.A. develop student’s personality by creativityB. don’t have freedom of speechC. concentrate more on knowledge than the development of personalityD. concentrate more on facts than critical assessment12. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. Students find less difficulty in learning science through expressive artsB. Expressive arts used in learning science can involve both hemispheres of the brainC. Traditional techniques of learning science mainly involve the use of left hemisphereD. A large part of educational experience is based on a linear perception of the subject13. A suitable title for the passage can be “_____”.A. Teach Science through DramaB. Developing Students’ ImaginationC. Expressive Arts in the Science ClassroomD. Creative Ways of Teaching Science14. The researcher’s aim is to _____.A. facilitate students’ learning by stimulating an emotional responseB. use drama to teach scienceC. develop students’ knowledge and abilities through reviewD. make it easier for students to understand some abstract concepts15. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?A. Traditional teaching methods expect students to love abstract concepts.B. The new approach to teaching doesn’t teach abstract conceptsC. The new approach addresses many different learning stylesD. Didactic methods teach knowledge, not abilityIV.

Then, mark your answer by blackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.20 As we recently discovered, there is a Stepmother's Day, though it is not on any official holiday calendar. So, it would be safe to assume that there is a similar day for stepdads, too. Right? Well, it depends on what you read. A Google search brought up posts that say, for example, " It's on father's day—father's day is for fathers, step - fathers and people who are like fathers to you—it's a day for making father figures feel special. " Further searching found a Stepfather's Day Facebook page that says, "The unofficial Stepfather's Day is the fourth Sunday of June. " Unfortunately, as of the publishing of this article, only 30 people have " liked" the page. Considering that studies show 3. 3 million men, or 11. 1% of U. S. fathers, live with at least one stepchild, that's only a drop in the ocean.It's interesting to note that there is a National Grandparents'Day. President Jimmy Carter signed it into law in 1978. Law! While grandparents are undoubtedly special people in our children's lives, they are often seen as the most loving family members. But what about the stepparents? The stepparents are the ones who are often the outsiders, the ones who have to endure the hurtful"You're not my dad!"or"You're not my mom!"And yet they never give up. They do their best to overcome the <u>inherent</u> challenges of stepparents and be role models for their stepchildren. These unsung (未被颂扬的) family heroes deserve "official "days of honor. Perhaps if we are loud enough, President Obama,who had a stepfather himself, will sign into law National Stepmother's Day and National Stepfather's Day.Are you with me? Follow me and get your voice heard. How cool it would be if we could make this happen!21 What does the underlined word" that" in Paragraph 1 refer to?（A）11. 1% of U. S. fathers who live with at least one stepchild in the U. S.（B）3. 3 million men who live with at least one stepchild in the world.（C）Father figures who are equally honored in the U. S.（D）30 people who support Stepfather's Day on the Facebook page.22 What did President Jimmy Carter sign into law in 1978?（A）The National Stepchildren's Day.（B）The National Stepparents'Day.（C）The National Grandparents'Day.（D）The National Grandchildren's Day.23 Which of the following is closest in meaning to the word" inherent" in Paragraph 2? （A）Inevitable.（B）Lasting.（C）Unbelievable.（D）Tough.24 What is the reason for setting an official holiday for stepparents?（A）Because they are often seen as the most loving family members.（B）Because they deserve respect and honor as family members.（C）Because they love their role as stepparents.（D）Because they are often treated as heroes in the family.24 Most students choose " Homestay" accommodation when they study abroad: others select Home-stay even if they are not on a study visit. Statistics show that it's a form of accommodation gaining in popularity all the time.But what is Homestay? And what makes it so popular?Homestay means living with a family, or "host family" as we say. There are three ways of doing it:choose to learn English in a language school near to your Homestay location:have your English classes in the house with a member of the family who is a qualified teacher:select not to have classes at all when you visit—a popular choice if you want to do the tourist thing for example.Even in their busy summer period the organizations that arrange the Homestays will always try to place you with the most suitable host family to match your requirements. Placement (安置 ) organizations think about location, interests, language level, eating requirements, allergies (过敏) and other requests you may have.Though prices vary according to your needs, good quality Homestay accommodation can be relatively economical—and although you may be charged an extra amount of money if you want your Homestay in or near the city centre. Even if you stay further out, you can expect your journey into the centre not to exceed 30 minutes.Not only does Homestay accommodation represent value for money, it also gives you an excellent opportunity to practise English with your host family. This is a very important extra for students who like to speak as much English as possible. But if you plan to learn English, why not have your English classes in your host family? There's no better way to learn English than this—the perfect combination of learning and accommodation combined with the cultural experience !25 Homestay is an ideal choice for students who______.（A）want to learn statistics（B）plan to study overseas（C）plan to visit relatives（D）want to stay at home26 Who will consider students' requirements before their Homestay starts?（A）The language school.（B）The host family.（C）The English teacher.（D）The placement organization.27 Which of the following is a key factor affecting the price of Homestay?（A）Students' specific needs.（B）Students' language level.（C）Nationality of the host family.（D）Eating habits of the host family.28 What can be inferred from the passage?（A）The author finds Homestay accommodation expensive.（B）The author finds Homestay arrangement complicated.（C）The author is in favor of Homestay accommodation.（D）The author is doubtful about the safety of Homestay.28 Using less energy around the home is easier than you might think, saving your money while creating a healthier, more comfortable living space for you and your family. Changing a few old habits can make an impact on your energy bill, your comfort and theenvironment. Here are some handy tips to make your house more energy-efficient. Lower the heatIf your home has adjustable central heating, lowering the room temperature even slightly can make a difference. You may not feel it, but your wallet will. It is even more advisable to control temperatures at different times of the day. Hang clothes out to dryIf the weather allows it, head outside and dry your laundry on a clothesline. The sunlight will help eliminate bacteria and dust. While clothes dryers get the job done faster, they also use up energy. By hanging your clothes out you'll be cutting greenhouse gases by about three kilograms per load. Take advantage of natural lightInstalling large windows on the northern side of your house can help you make use of sunlight's natural warmth. To stay cool indoors on hot summer days, install blinds(百叶窗) to block the heavy sun. Put your desk near the window, then you don't need a lamp in the daytime. Wrap (裹) your pipesBe sure your hot-water pipes are properly wrapped. In an average home, heating water accounts for more than one-quarter of the energy bill. Why let warmth go to waste before it reaches you? Choose the right size for appliances (家用电器)When the time comes to replace appliances, select those that are both energy-efficient and of the appropriate size for your needs. Don't buy bigger ones just because you can.29 What benefit may using less energy at home bring about?（A）Enlarging your living space.（B）Keeping old habits unchanged.（C）Having a healthier living environment.（D）Improving your work efficiency.30 Which of the following is one of the advantages of hanging clothes out to dry?（A）It gets clothes dry much faster than clothes dryers.（B）It uses half the energy that clothes dryers do.（C）It may help to build a greenhouse.（D）It helps remove bacteria in clothes.31 What can be installed on the northern side of your house to make better use of natural light?（A）Shades.（B）Windows.（C）Blinds.（D）Curtains.32 Besides energy-efficiency, what else should be considered when replacing appliances? （A）Proper size.（B）Good quality.（C）Replacing time.（D）Reasonable price.32 I talk to strangers for a living and love the challenge of getting their stories published in news-papers. I've been married for years, but until six months ago, I couldbe a typical absent-minded husband. Often I was just nodding when I was supposed to. When my wife asked, <u>" Did you even hear what I just said?"</u>I would defensively say, " Of course I did!"In January, I began to lose my voice. Doctors told me I needed surgery, or my throat would be permanently damaged. Total silence would be required for the first few weeksof my recovery.Two hours after the surgery, my eyes filled with tears as my two—year—old son looked puzzled because I wouldn't answer his questions. I wanted to talk but couldn't. Luckily, I'd recorded myself reading some of his favorite books. That would come in handy the next couple of weeks.When I got home, I noriced a"side effect" : as my wife talked to me to keep up my spirits, I wasn't just hearing her: I was listening to her. Over the next few weeks, I didn't want to miss a word she said. I began to hear sweetness in her voice. It had never left. I'd just stopped noticing. I found myself understanding her better on topics I'd previouslydismissed as" things I just don't get as a guy". I also realized my son wasn't just talking nonstop but that he often had thoughtful things to say. Even while walking my dog in the woods near our home, I began hearing pleasant patterns in birdsongs. Before my surgery, I'd have spent those walks on my phone.After several weeks, I was fully recovered. Conversation in our house is better now, not because I'm talking more. I'm just listening better and becoming less and less surprised that I like what I hear.33 According to the passage, the author is most likely a______.（A）journalist（B）doctor（C）driver（D）teacher34 What does the wife mean by asking" Did you even hear what I just said?" in Paragraph 1 ?（A）You didn't have to nod while you were listening.（B）You should tell me what I said iust now.（C）You should listen to me.（D）You didn't want to talk with me.35 What is true of the author after the surgery?（A）He was unwilling to talk to his wife.（B）He was unable to communicate with his son.（C）He was required to keep silent for the first few months.（D）He was worried about his recovery after the surgery.36 What did the author realize after the surgery?（A）His dog liked pleasant birdsongs.（B）His son didn't like talking.（C）His wife was a talkative woman.（D）His house was full of pleasant talks.36 Coconut(椰子)is an unusual food for many reasons. It is one of the largest<u>edible</u> seeds produced by any plant. Its unusual contents also make it unique in the seed world—it consists of both" meat" and" water" inside. The coconut meat is the white substance with which we are all familiar, as it is used extensively for cooking and flavorings: the coconut water is a white and sweet liquid.Portuguese (葡萄牙的) explorers gave the nut its name in the 15th century, referring to it as coco , meaning" ghost" in their language. The outside appearance of coconuts reminded them of a ghost's face, and the tree has had that name ever since.The coconut has varied uses. It is used to make various cooking oils for fast-food restaurants around the world to make diet materials. The coconut fluid is a favorite drink in hot climates, providing a cool and refreshing beverage fight off the tree. This water is also used by manufacturers of various sports drinks. Even the shell itself has many uses, including animal food and fertilizer.Yet the coconut is also useful in many ways that have nothing to do with food. Coconut oil is used for cosmetics(化妆品) , medicines, and so on. Dried coconut shells are used in many countries as a tool for shining wood floors. The shells are also used for shirt buttons, and are commonly found on Hawaiian clothing. They are even used for musical instruments and bird houses.And all these are only some of the uses found for the coconut fruit. The coconut tree, which produces the nut, also produces many useful things. It's no wonder that the coconut tree has been taken as"the tree of life".37 What does the underlined word "edible "in Paragraph 1 mean?（A）Eatable.（B）Available.（C）Visible.（D）Collectible.38 The coconut got its name because of______. （A）its round shape（B）its ghostlike appearance（C）its hard shell（D）its white color39 What is the passage mainly about?（A）Types of coconut seeds.（B）The discovery of coconut.（C）The history of coconut.（D）Uses of coconut.40 What can be learned from the passage? （A）Coconut fluid can become fertilizer. （B）Coconut trunks are houses for birds. （C）Coconut trees are useful plants.（D）Coconut oil is rare and expensive.四、Part IV ClozeDirections: There are some blanks in the following passages.
