Each age has its pleasures and its pains, and the happiestperson is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time inuseless r egrets.Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities to make life difficult.If a child has good parents, he is fed, looked after and loved, whatever he may do. It is impossible that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return. What’ s more, life is always presenting new things to the child — things that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well-known. But a child has his parents. He is not so free to do what he wishes todo; he is continually being told not to do things or being punished for what he has done wrong.Whenthe young man starts to earn his own living, he can no longer expect others to pay for his food, his clothes, and his room, but has to work if he wants to livecomfortably. If he spends most of his time playing about in the way that he usedto as a child, he will go hungry. And if he breaks the laws of society as he usedto break the laws of his parents, he may go to prison. If, however, he works hard,keeps out of trouble and has good health, he can have the great happiness of building up for himself his own position in society.67.According to the second paragraph, the writer thinks that __.A. life for a child is comparatively easyB. a child is always loved whatever he does68.After a child grows up, he __.A.will have little time playingB.has to be successful in finding a jobC.can still ask for help in time of troubleD.should be able to take care of himself69.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A.People are always satisfied with each part of their life.B.Life is less interesting for old people.C.Children are free to do what they want to do.D.Adults should no longer rely on others.70.The main idea of the passage is _________ .A.life is not enjoyable since each age has some painsB.young men can have the greatest happiness if they work hardC.childhood is the most enjoyable time in one's lifeD.one is the happiest if he can make good use of each age in his life参照答案一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一。

The answer came during a trip to a park in her New York City neighborhood two years ago，where she met volunteers from Mighty Mutts，a local no-kill animal rescue organization.“I thought maybe I could earn some money and give it to them，” she says.Since Katharine had plenty of practice taking care of her own dog，she decided to start a summer dog-walking service.She chose two friends and，with their parents'permission，the group put up homemade posters with their phone numbers and a bargain price—50 cents an hour.Before long they had 15 dogs in their care.“We walked two or three at a time with one mother helping out，” she says.“By the end of that summer，we'd collected $45.” That fall Katharine and her mother，Loma，came up with another mini enterprise to raise money for Mighty Mutts—selling fresh-baked shortbread to their neighbors.The 11-year-old，who starts sixth grade this fall，has become a nonstop campaigner.Her mother says，“When she sees somebody with a dog，she starts a conversation and tells them to donate to Mighty Mutts.”Katharine's passion comes from the heart.“It makes me cry to think that strays might be_put_to_sleep when there's a group that can find new homes for them，”Katharine says.“But it makes me smile to know I can help.”Notes：①stray adj.流浪旳②shortbread n．黄油甜酥饼【语篇解读】本文主要讲了11岁女孩Katharine是如何关爱和帮助流浪狗等小动物旳·1．Katharine's love of dogs comes from ________.A．her grandmother's influenceB．her mother's influenceC．the influence of an organizationD．seeing a dog killed by a car答案A[细节理解题·由第二段可知，Katharine关心流浪狗是受奶奶旳影响·]2．How did Katharine help the organization—Mighty Mutts?A．By walking stray dogs.B．By giving shortbread to stray dogs.C．By collecting money.D．By making speeches everywhere.答案C[推理判断题·由第三、四段可知，Katharine为别人遛狗挣钱，然后捐给Mighty Mutts，并且经常劝说养狗旳人为Mighty Mutts捐款，故选C·] 3．The underlined part “be put to sleep” in the last paragraph means “________”．A．to be supplied with a comfortable place for sleepingB．to be given drugs so that they can die without painC．to be made unconscious before a medical operationD．to be made to sleep答案B[词义猜测题·Katharine很有爱心，非常关心无家可归旳小动物，所以她一想到流浪旳小动物被人们用药物所谓“仁道地”杀死，她就会心痛地流泪·put to sleep意为“用药物使(长眠)，无痛苦地杀死”·]4．What would be the best title for the passage?A．Katharine and her petsB．An organization for rescuing stray dogsC．Pet dogs are popular with childrenD．A little girl helps strays答案D[主旨大意题·全文主要讲述了小女孩Katharine帮助、关爱流浪狗，故正确答案为D·]*************************************************结束1.3 直流力矩电动机1.3.1 概述在某些自动控制系统中，被控对象的运动速度相对来说是比较低的。

中考备考阅读话题练习：旅游和交通一、阅读理解（共20小题；共40分）AThere is a sign at a Korean university asking tourists not to step into the grass to take photos. The sign is not written in Korean or English; it is written in Chinese.These signs, and signs in other countries warning Chinese tourists about their behavior, have shamed many Chinese who worry about the image of the country.Over 70 million Chinese tourists made overseas trips last year and spent $102 billion, more than the $84 billion spent by American and German tourists. For many Chinese tourists, it was their first trip abroad and they didn't know about foreign ways. And some of these tourists took their bad habits from China with them.Wang Yang, a Chinese deputy prime minister (国务院副总理), said, "They (the tourists) speak loudly in public, carve words or numbers on tourist attractions, cross the road when the traffic lights are still red and spit anywhere. It damages(毁坏) the image of the Chinese people and has a very bad influence."Before you travel to a foreign country, it's important to learn some things about the country and its culture. You are guests in the country and it's important to respect(尊重) your hosts. As more and more Chinese visit foreign countries, their behavior will certainly change and those shameful signs will, hopefully, disappear.1. The sign at a Korean university is written in .A. ChineseB. EnglishC. Korean2. How do many Chinese feel about the signs?A. Proud.B. Interested.C. Shameful.3. The underlined word "image" probably means " " in Chinese.A. 形象B. 热情C. 财富4. The passage is written to .A. order the Korean university to clean up signs with Chinese wordsB. advise the overseas Chinese tourists to change their behaviorC. ask Chinese people not to spend too much money traveling abroad5. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Signs Shame Overseas Chinese TouristsB. Foreign Culture Makes Bad InfluenceC. Foreign Countries Attract Chinese TouristsBThere are several ways you can find out about the countries and places you wish to visit. You can talk to friends who have traveled to the places, you can go and see a colour film about them, or you can read a travel book.It seems that there are three kinds of travel books. The first are those that give a personal, subjective(主观的) idea of travels which their writer has got himself. These books can be useful if the writers share their traveling experiences with others. The second kind are those books which give objective(客观的) information of things to be done and seen. If a cultured person has written such a book about the facts of a place, then it is more useful. The third kind are those books which are called "a guide" to some place or other. If they are good, they will describe and explain the place in detail. Like the first kind , they can be interesting and exciting, but their main purpose is to help the reader plan his travel in the most practical way.Whatever kind of travel book you choose, you must make sure that the book does not describe everything as interesting, exciting or fantastic. You must also keep an open eyes on its date of publication(出版) because travel is very practical matter and many things change quickly in the 21st century. Finally, you should make sure that it's easy to find the useful information for you travel.6. The passage was written to introduce .A. travel mapsB. travel booksC. travel filmsD. travel places7. The writer of the first kind of travel books gave his ideas after he .A. traveledB. read booksC. a lot of experienceD. surfed the Internet8. The underlined phrase "a cultured person" means a person with .A. a good appearanceB. a good educationC. a lot of experienceD. a lot of money9. The date of publication must be noticed because .A. the prices of travel books may be differentB. the writers of travel books may be differentC. the information in travel books is always the sameD. the information in travel books is always changing10. According to the passage, it is best to read before traveling to a place of interest.A. the first kind of travel booksB. the second kind of travel booksC. the third kind of travel booksD. some travel articles in newspaperCA city in California has got some new buses. They cost $490,000 each. The new buses are different from the old ones. These new buses are better for the environment. They are called hybrid(混合动力的) buses. They run on diesel(柴油的) and electric power. This will help keep the air cleaner. The man drove the new bus on Wednesday and noticed a difference right away. "I get to have clean air for a change", said driver Melvin Day, "I'm smelling diesel all day long when I drive the old ones."The company that builds the buses had many good things to say about them. For example, they said they use a lot less fuel(燃料). They also said that they are 90% cleaner for the environment. The buses are very quiet, too.The buses have a diesel engine in the back and batteries(电池) on top. When the engine starts up, it is powered by electricity. Then the diesel power takes over.Over time the city would like to use the new hybrid buses instead of all 50 of their buses. They hope to do this over the next three years. The city will give money to help buy the new kind of buses. One other bit of good news: The price of the bus ticket will not rise because of the new buses.11. Why are the new buses better for the environment?A. Because they're cheaper than the old ones.B. Because they are very quiet.C. Because they run on diesel and electric power.D. Because they are new.12. Which one is NOT TRUE about the new buses?A. They use a lot less fuel.B. They can drive faster than the old ones.C. They will help keep the air cleaner.D. The buses are very quiet.13. How many buses does the city have now?A. 490.B. 90.C. 45.D. 50.14. Which one is TRUE about this article?A. The driver liked the new buses very much.B. The new buses don't use fuel at all.C. The city will replace the old buses in a year.D. The price of bus ticket will be high.15. What is the best title for the article?A. The New CarsB. Electric BusesC. The Advantages of Old BusesD. Buying New BusesDMany Americans have been leaving their cars at home and riding to work on bicycles. Andy Clark is the leader of the League of American Bicyclists. His group supports bicycling for fun, fitness and transportation.Clark says this is good news for the environment. He says riding a bicycle to work does not burn fossil fuel or creates dangerous pollution. Experts say the effects are the most important on short trips. Shorter car trips give out more pollution into the air for each kilometer drive. This is because the car engine will give out the harmful gas when it warms up before it can work well.James, a member of Congress, is a strong supporter of bicycle use. He says cities, counties, state governments and state highway transportation agencies are planning the roadways of the future. They are creating roads and paths for bicycles in cities between communities.Portland, the Pacific Northwest city in the state of Oregon, had the highest percentage of bicycle users in United States. Portland has been doing progressive city planning for many years to create special paths for bike riders.16. What is happening in America according to the news?A. Many Americans have lost jobsB. Many Americans prefer short tripsC. There are more and more bicyclists nowD. The pollution is getting worse and worse17.

Short car trips can reduce pollutionC. American government doesn't allow people to ride bicyclesD. Many Americans ride bicycles to support environment protection19. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. Clark's group thinks bicycling is good for healthB. James strongly supports bicycle useC. Portland is one of the states in the USAD. Portland is planning to create special paths for bike riders20. Where can we read it possibly?A. From a websiteB. From a posterC. From a novelD. From an advertisement二、阅读与表达(混合式)（共5小题；共5分）A kind of small car may someday take the place of big ones. They will be popular. The car is as small as a bike. It can carry two people in it.If everyone drives such a car in the future, there will be less pollution in the air. There will also be more space for cars and people in cities. Three such cars can fit in the space now needed for one car of the usual size.These small cars will cost much less to drive. They can only go 65 kilometers an hour, so driving will be safer, too. You can drive these cars to go around the city, but you'd better not use them for a long trip.This kind of car can save a lot of gasoline(汽油). They can go 450 kilometers if they are filled up (加满油).21. 判断正(T)误(F)The more small cars people drive, the more pollution there will be in the air.22. This kind of car can be as small as .23.

高中英语阅读理解分类训练之旅游与交通类（含详解）1 Planning a visit to the UK? Here we help with ways to cut your costs.AVOID BIG EVENTS Big sporting events, concerts and exhibitions can increase the cost of accommodation and make it harder to find a room. Astandard double room at the Thistle Brighton on the final Friday of theBrighton Comedy Festival (19 Oct.) cost £169.15 at Booking. com. A week later, the same room cost £118.15.If you can be flexible and want to know dates to avoid—or you’re looking for a big event to pass your time—check out sites such as Whatsonwhen. com, which allow you to search for events in the UK by city, date and category.STAY AWAY FROM THE STATION If traveling to your destination by train, you may want to find a good base close to the station, but you could end up paying more for the sake of convenience at the start of your holiday.Don’t be too choosy about the part of town you stay in. Booking two months in advance, the cheapest room at Travelodge’s Central Euston hot el in London for Saturday 22 September was £95.95. A room just a tube journey away at its Covent Garden hotel was £75.75. And at Farringdon, a double room cost just £62.95.LOOK AFTER YOURSELF Really central hotels in cities such as London, Edinburgh and Cardiff can cost a fortune, especially at weekends and during big events. As an alternative consider checking into a self-catering flat with its own kitchen. Often these flats are hidden away on the top floors of city centre buildings. A great example is the historic O’Neill Flat on Edinburgh’s Royal Mile, available for £420 for five days in late September, with room for four adults.GET ON A BIKE London’s “Boris bikes” have attracted the most attention, but other cities also have similar programmes that let you rent a bicycle and explore at your own pace, saving you on public transport or car parking costs.Among the smaller cities with their own programmes are Newcastle (casual members pay around £1.50 for two hours) and Cardiff (free for up to 30 minutes, or £5 per day).1.The Brighton Comedy Festival is mentioned mainly to show big events may__________.A.help travelers pass timeB.attract lots of travelers to the UKC.allow travelers to make flexible plansD.cause travelers to pay more for accommodation2.“Farringdon” in Paragraph 5 is most probably __________.A.a hotel away from the train stationB.the tube line to Covent GardenC.an ideal holiday destinationD.the name of a travel agency3.The passage shows that the O’Neill Flat __________.A.lies on the ground floorB.is located in central LondonC.provides cooking facilities for touristsD.costs over £100 on average per day in late September4.Cardiff’s program allows a free bike for a maximum period of __________.A.half an hourB.one hourC.one hour and a halfD.two hours5.The main purpose of the passage is __________.A.to tell visitors how to book in advanceB.to supply visitors with hotel informationC.to show visitors the importance of self-helpD.to offer visitors some money-saving tips2.Lille, FranceThis charming European town is just one hour from Paris and the most exciting art destination of the moment. The spring weather here is delightful, ideal for strolling around on the cobblestoned streets. The city government has poured money into public art projects such as Lille 3000, a group of indoor and outdoor art exhibitions, as well as a wonderful modern art museum.Shanghai, ChinaThe Chinese city continues to grow rapidly, with popular restaurants and bars, world-class shopping, and five-star hotels. The weather is incredibly pleasant in May—the spring rains have passed, but the summer humidity is around the corner. And come here before the crowds decrease in June for the opening of the Shanghai Disney Resort, which is sure to be popular for families during the summer break.MaltaThe small European island gained some major screen time recently owing to the setting for Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s By the Sea( the movie was shot in Malta and its sister island, Gozo). Stay at the Corinthia Palace, a fantastic home base for touring the medieval town, beaches, ancient temples, and Maltese vineyards. The tourists really begin to decrease in June, so beat the crowds in May to get the beaches to yourself.Canggu, BaliBalis beaches attract all types of sun worshippers, but surfers know to head to Canggu, a town on the island’s southwestern coast. Lately, it’s become a destination for more than its breaks, with the opening of vegetarian-focused restaurants, Australian-style cafes, and fantastic hotels like the Fri Bali Echo Beach. In May, Deus, a mixed-use space that includes a restaurant, music venue, and art gallery, hosts a major surf competition, bringing together professionals and amateurs for a fun-filled weekend.1.If you want to have fun with your family in Disney Resort, you had better travel to ______.A.Shanghai, ChinaB.MaltaC.Lille, FranceD.Canggu, Bali2.From the passage we can know that _______.A.Lille is the most exciting art destination with the weather delightful all the year aroundB.The summer humidity’s arrival makes Shanghais weather in May incredibly pleasantC.More tourists go to the beaches in Malta to enjoy themselves in JuneD.Canggu is a good destination for surfers to live a happy weekend3.Which column of a paper can we possibly read this passage in?A.Sports Column.B.News Column.C.Travel Column.D.Business Column.3.The best bikes for the beginnersWhen it comes to purchasing your first bike, the choice isendless,making it tough to know what to go for. Here are the best buys on the market right now.Boardman CX CompThis is a cross-country bike, and it's so versatile(多用途的) that you can handle any terrain(地势) on it, making it a great choice for those wanting to try various cycling subjects.

Seat belts are compulsory for front and rear-seat passengers. The legal blood alcohol limit is 0.08 .*Getting throughFor travelers with motor-homes, it's good that even large motor-homescan travel through the mountain passes. The roads are well maintained and large enough even for trucks. Remember, Switzerland is a very small Country (ca.250x400 km) and you can easily drive from one end to another in 3 - 5 hours if you stick to the highways. If you plan to travel to Switzerland by car, take your time, you can plan to see lots of places in a short amount of time. Planto drive for diving's sake, and try to minimally constrain yourself with time-related issues.The mountain resort towns of Braunwald, Murren, Wengen and Zermattcannot be reached directly by private motor vehicle.

You’ve probably already heard of China’s Didi Chuxing. It’s theride-hailing firm bes t known for driving Uber off China’s streets. It is now the world’s largest ride-hailing app., and with its worth currently at USD56bn and it is also the world’s most valuable start-up. But how much do you know about its founder Cheng Wei?Well for a start, he's only 35 years old. “I was born in 1983,” he says. “My entire management team has a lot of people in their 30s. We bring a lot of surprises.”No-one could accuse Cheng Wei of being rash(鲁莽). Every step of the Didi journey has been well planned. His first step was to rule the market in China. His next step is to take over the world. The Chinese market is of course very important, but today Didi s vision is already going global. Cheng Wei points out that Didi’s way of entering new markets is no t what most in the West may be used to.“Didi’s global strategy (策略)may be a little different from others,” he says,smiling. “Our strategy isn't always to do everything ourselves. But in markets where there aren't any successful local companies,Didi will enter that market to share our experience. That’s what we re doing right now.”Precisely and methodically(精确而有条不紊地), Didi is making its move into global markets. It has already entered Japan and Taiwan. And earlier this year, it bought 99, Brazil’s leading ride-hailing app. Just this week,the company was also launching in Mexico. The move will set it up to compete against the American company Uber.“For the past two decades,it was China who learned more from the US,” he says. “But in the next 10 years, we’ll ride on successes each other. There’s no point thinking who will be better or greater.”1.What made Didi Chuxing best known?A.It is the most widely used ride-hailing app.B.It made Uber quit out of China's streets.C.It is the world's largest ride-hailing app.D.It has began to enter global markets.2.Didi Chuxing's first step in its journey to develop is to ______.A.take control of the Chinese marketB.do everything all by themselvesC.take over the world marketpete against other companies3.How will Didi Chuxing enter the area without successful companies?A.To drive other companies out.B.To buy the successful companies.C.To enter and share its experience.D.To start a new business mode.4.What could be the best title of the passage?A.The world's largest ride-hailing appB.Didi Chuxing shares its experienceC.Didi Chuxing competes against UberD.Didi Chuxing aims at global markets6. To see the world is one thing;to have someone to share it with is another.Indeed,travel becomes more interesting when you have a travel partner.Atravel partner can be a close friend,a family member,a pal you've met online,or a business friend.You can have someone to talk toTraveling alone is fun,but wouldn't you feel lonely?Having a travel partner can remove the feeling of loneliness.This is especially true if you can get a travel companion who is very familiar with the place you're traveling to.You don't have to ask any information from the locals,and you can increase the time you spend in the country.You can have someone to share the expenses withOne of the major headaches in traveling is the costs involved.You can't simply ignore the rising price of hotels or plane tickets.You should also think about your daily needs,such as your food.Of course,you can't simply go back without bringing any souvenirs to your friends and family.All these can ruin your budget.However,when you have a travel friend,you can have someone to share the expenses with.You can meet a good friendHaving a travel mate is a good way of meeting a new friend or even a lifelong partner.You can never count the number of couples who actually found their way into each other's heart while traveling together in another country.You can have someone to watch out for youWhen you're in a foreign land,you'll never be really safe.You don't know the rules as well as the culture of the people.A travel mate will be perfect to remind you of your duties in the country and to watch your back just in case you get lost.So why don't you find a travel companion now?Let's find out how...1.What's the author's purpose in writing this passage?A.To introduce a travel company.B.To encourage us to have a travel partner.C.To explain how to be a perfect travel partner.D.To tell an interesting experience with a travel partner.2.Which of the following statements agrees with the author's opinion?A.Traveling alone is not fun.B.Buying souvenirs isn't necessary.C.Many people fall in love when traveling.D.It's better to choose a stranger as a travel partner.3.The following paragraph will probably talk about________.A.how to get along with a travel partnerB.how travel can benefit peopleC.what we can learn from travelD.how to find a travel partner7. Many Americans think of driverless cars as a futuristic technologythat 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 bytraditional 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. Built 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 themto 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.1.What’s the attitude of most American people to the future of autonomous vehicles?A.Curious.B.Doubtful.C.Indifferent.D.Optimistic.2.What is the modified Ford Fusion?A.A kind of autonomous vehicle.B.A fleet of driverless taxis.C.A road for driverless cars.D.A retirement community.3.What are examples in California and Michigan to prove?A.Driverless cars’ disadvantages.ernments’ right decisions.C.Benefits to the aged and the disabled.D.The regulations are forward-thinking.4.What does the author attempt to inform us in the last paragraph?A.The benefits of driverless cars have been fully unlocked.B.Regulations should go hand in hand with driverless technology.C.The concept of autonomous vehicles has been widely recognized.D.The weak groups are often overlooked despite technology advances.8. While beach vacations may be a great way to take your mind offwork,lakes surrounded by mountains make for an even grander experience.If you are looking for some peace on your vacation,we have some recommendations for you in the Caucasus(高加索).Lake SevanLake Sevan is situated in the central part of Armenia,in the Gegharkunik province.It is the largest lake in Armenia,located 6,200ft above sealevel.Along the lake shore,there are various accommodations such as resorts and hotels with plenty of activities to partake in such as windsurfing,swimming and sunbathing.While there,do not forget to visit one of the famous culturalmonuments,the Sevanavank Monastery,and it offers a great view of the lake as well.Lake ParavaniLake Paravani,located at 6,801ft above sea level,is in the south of Georgia,near the Javakheti plateau.At this level,altitude sickness can occurand it is a good idea to be prepared to adapt to it properly,or bringmedication for altitude sickness.Being a volcanic lake makes for a more interesting experience.The lake is best known for fishing.Do not come home during the winter months when the lake freezes.Lake CildirLake Cildir is located in the Ardahan province,East Turkey,near the borders of Georgia and Armenia.It is the second largest freshwater lake of Eastern Turkey,and many tourists are not aware of this beautifulke Cildir is surrounded by mountains of the Caucasus.The lake freezes during late November.If the winter is not extremely cold,you can try some lake activities like ice skating and ice fishing.Lake VanLake Van is the must visit of all lakes in this list.The largest lake in Turkey,Lake Van is located on the eastern shore of Turkey and is also the most accessible lake here.It’s situated at 5,380ft above sea level,and unique to lakes around the world,the water is high in salt content.1.If you want to visit some historic sites during your travel by a lake,you can go to _____________.ke Cildirke Parvanike Sevanke Van2.What is special about Lake Van?A.Its water is high in salt.B.It is a volcanic lake.C.It is globally the largest lake.D.It is surrounded by mountains.3.What challenge are travelers most likely to face while visiting Lake Paravani?ck of medicine.B.Volcano eruptions.C.Altitude sickness.D.Low temperature all the year.4.Which destinations would be attractive to a fishing lover?ke Sevan and Lake Paravani.ke Pravani and Lake Cildir.ke Cildir and Lake Van.ke Sevan and Lake Van.参考答案答案：1.D; 2.A; 3.C; 4.A; 5.D解析：1.【语篇导读】到英国旅游花费很高,因此有必要找到适当的方式来降低旅游费用。

the country have loaded their kids’ backpacks up with snack packs and school supplies.Ita good moment to reflect on what else we should be giving our kids as they headoff to school.American parents are feeling particularly anxious about that question this’ syear.The educational process feels more than ever like a race， one that starts inpre-school and doesn’t end until your child is admitted to the perfect college.Most parents are more worried than they need to be about their children’ s grades，test scores and IQ.And what we don’ t think about enough is how to help our children build their character— how to help them develop skills like perseverance，optimism，responsibility，and self-contro l ， which together do more to determine success than S． A.T.scores or IQ.There performance is

students and parents alike.But experiencing failure is a critical part of building character.Recent research by a team of psychologists found that adults who had experienced littleor no failure growing up were actually less happy and confident than those who had experienced a few significant setbacks in childhood.“ Overcoming those obstacles，” the researchers assumed，“ could teach effective coping skills，help engage social support networks ， create a sense of mastery over past adversity，and foster beliefs in the ability to cope successfully in the future.”By contrast ， when we protect our children from every possible failure— when we call their teachers to get an extension on a paper ； when we urge them to choose only those subjects they ’re good at — we are denying them those same character-building experiences.As the psychologists Madeline Levine and Dan Kindlon have written，that can lead to difficulties in adolescence and youngadulthood ， when overprotected young people finally confront real problems on their own and don ’ t know how to overcome them.In the classroom and outside of it ， American parents need to encourage childrento take chances ， to challenge themselves ，to risk failure.In the meantime， giving our kids room to fail may be one of the best ways we can help them succeed.Back to School： Why Perseverance Is More Important than Good

The biggest cruise ship in the world导读：关于世界之最你肯定知道不少，但你了解世界上最大的游轮吗？现在一起去游览一下吧。

The Oasis of the Seas is the world’s largest cruise ship. It can carry ①up to 6,200 passengers, who are served by over 2000 crew members. ②The vessel is 40% bigger than any other cruise ship in the world, has a weight of 225,000 tons and is five times the size of the Titanic. It has a total of 15 decks and is as high as a twenty-storey building.The ship was built in Finland and is owned by Royal Caribbean International. Its ③maiden voyage was scheduled for early December 2009. The ship was stationed in Fort Lauderdale Florida, from where it went on week-long cruises of the Caribbean Sea.The Oasis of the Seas has virtually everything a tourist can dream of. Biggest attraction is a giant open-air theatre for 750 passengers that is a swimming pool by day and an entertainment arena at night. Passengers can wander through a park full of real trees and exotic plants, eat and drink in 24 restaurants or travel up and down between decks in a movable bar. There is something for everyone: a small golf course, a basketball court, an ice rink and two rock-climbing walls. Mothers can leave small children in nurseries while they go shopping in the ship’s boutiques.The best and latest technology makes the Oasis of the Seas one of the most modern ships on the seas. But, the captain says, it’s very easy to manoeuvre because everything is automated and runs with computers.The owners hope that the Oasis of the Seas will earn them a lot of money. The vessel cost over 1.5 billion dollars to build and with a starting price of about 1,700 Euros for a nine day cruise it is not exactly cheap. But spending a holiday on the world’s biggest ship should be worth something.世界上最大的游轮海洋绿洲号是世界上最大的游轮。

Taking a bus from country to country or in between cities can be a budget-friendly way to travel, but unlike flying, bus travel is quite slow, and unlike train travel or renting a car and driving, buses can be uncomfortable, which is a reason that many people cite for not taking buses more often.Those who have traveled long distances by bus will know that while on a bus, passengers are largely at the mercy of the bus driver. Airplanes are equipped with drinks and clean, usable restrooms, but bus travelers often don't have access to these luxuries. So, when nature calls, or if you run out of water and food or need to stretch your legs, you have to wait for the drivers to decide it's time for a break.Watching where you sit is also necessary. If you're traveling alone, you may find yourself in a situation where you're elbow to elbow with a total stranger. Sometimes, it's possible to take measures to ensure you end up next to someone you can tolerate. If you're lucky enough to join the bus at a relatively uncrowded point on its route, you may be able to sit in an empty row. If you see that the bus is getting more populated, consider switching seats to sit next to someone who seems friendly.Many people bring pillows and blankets along on bus journeys, and this is really a good idea. Inflatable(充气的) pillows are a great item, because they take up hardly any room in a carry-on bag when deflated, but can make your bus ride much more luxurious once you blow them up. Consider packing a few travel towels to use as blankets, which are small and portable and work well as blankets when you aren't using them to dry off.1. It is known from the first paragraph that .A. it is the cheapest for people to travel by busB. an increasing number of people hate taking busesC. all people don't like to take busesD. taking buses is the least comfortable2. The purpose of the second paragraph is to .A. advise people not to take busesB. list some disadvantages of taking busesC. show the advantages of airplanes over busesD. explain the reason why people should take buses3. What does the underlined words in Para. 2 mean?A. The nature has something to tell you.B. You have something to tell the nature.C. You need to go to the toilet.D. You must return to the nature when the bus stops.4. For a bus traveler, it is a good idea to .A. take some small and portable travel towelsB. take an inflatable pillow and a large towelC. keep a good relationship with the bus driverD. get along well with the other passengers5. Which of the following questions is the passage aimed at answering?A. What should you watch out for while traveling by bus?B. Why should you choose to travel by bus?C. What are the disadvantages of taking buses?D. What can be done to make bus travel more comfortable?BMichael Burgess, an 11-year-old student at West Lake Middle School in Apex, North Carolina, was getting onto his school bus early in the mist on the morning of Sept. 30 when a car slammed into him. "All I remember was seeing a car and I was so scared, and then I just knew the car was going to hit me," he recalled.Michael spent days in the hospital in a body cast (躯部石膏固定) with multiple fractures. "I felt pretty lucky that I'm alive now because I thought I'd die, because the car was going really fast," he said. The driver received a ticket for passing a stopped school bus and failing to reduce speed.The other day, two reporters followed a school bus with, Sam Pagano. When the bus stopped, five cars flew by, even though the bus had its stop sign out and red lights flashing.Sam Pagano couldn't even get all the violators, but he did stop two. One said he didn't see the bus; the other said she saw it too late to stop. Having questioned two drivers, Sam Pagano wrote two tickets. Both drivers were slapped with $270 tickets."To me, they're not paying attention or they don't see it," Pagano said, "We're talking about lives, children that could be hit."The Department of Transportation says that 23 million children ride a school bus every day. And according to the National Association of State Directors of Pupil Information Services, vehicles pass stopped school buses more than 70,000 times a day, even though passing one with its lights flashing is illegal in all 50 states. Now police are using new technology to catch the violators.The problem has gotten so bad that school districts across the country are installing new technology on school buses; little cameras that activate(激活) when the bus stops. Like traffic signal cameras, they capture the license plate numbers of any cars that fly by. Violators are sent tickets in the mail, with fines ranging from $100 all the way up to $1,000."There's no room for error in this," Pagano said, "You're talking about the life of a child."6. What was the weather like on the morning of Sept. 30?A. Sunny.B. Rainy.C. Windy.D. Foggy.7. What happened to Michael Burgess after the accident?A. He had many bones broken.B. He had his right leg cut off.C. He had his lung damaged.D. He had his right hand burnt.8. We can infer that Sam Pagano is a .A. bus driverB. traffic policemanC. newspaper reporterD. law violator9. The underlined word "one" refers to .A. a moving school busB. a stopped school busC. a traffic signal cameraD. a license plate numberCAre you looking for some interesting and meaningful places to take your kids to? Here are some places for you to choose before they grow up:A. Alaska and New York City.B. Alaska and Cape Canaveral.C. Cape Canaveral and the Canadian Rockies.D. New York city and Cape Canaveral.11.

Some parents may worry, however, about just how safe their children are when they get on these rides.In July 2013, seven people were injured on the Shoot the Rapids ride at Cedar Point Park in Sandusky, Ohio when a boat that was heading up the first lift hill somehow rolled backward down the hill. In July 2013, a 52-year-old woman died after she was ejected(弹出) from the Texas Giant roller coaster at Six Flags Over Texas.When a death or injury occurs at an amusement park, it tends to make national headlines.34. Approximately 297.4 million people visit amusement parks each year. In 2014 there were 1,204 ride-related injuries. That equates to approximately I injury for every 24 million rides. Of these injuries, fewer than 5% required an overnight stay in a hospital. As you can see, you are far more likely to be struck by lightning than to be injured on an amusement park ride. 35.All amusement parks are expected to meet the national safety standards. Safety precautions taken by amusement parks include complete and proper training of all ride personnel and daily inspection of rides to ensure there are no potential problems. It is very rare for a park to cut comers when it comes to safety, since a ride-related accident can lead to bad publicity, decreased attendance and financial losses that far outweigh any money they might save.36. For example, follow the boarding restrictions for each ride. Some rides are not safe for those who are pregnant, or suffer from a heart condition; 37. A lot of rides have minimum height requirements. If you or your children do not meet these requirements, do not try to find a way around them such as using lifts in your shoes or sneaking past the ride attendant; Follow posted safety signs. If a sign warns that you don't stand in your seat, stay seated until the ride is over.38. Follow safety precautions and you will enjoy the time with your friends and family.A. This may give you some comfort.B. It is also important that visitors follow park rules and restrictions to avoid being injured.C. However, the truth is that amusement park accidents are very rare.D. Visiting amusement parks is fun.E. This may make you worried.F. Amusement park accidents are very common.G. Do not "cheat" to get on rides.答案一、阅读理解1. B2. B3. C4. A5. D6. D7. A8. B9. B 10. C11. D 12.

And you're not supposed to start eating first if there are older people at the table.Very often people who travel to the United States forget to tip(付小费). It is usual to tip waiters, taxi drivers and porters who help carry your bags. Waiters expect to get a 15% tip on the cost of your meal. Taxi drivers expect about the same amount.In England, make sure to stand in line even if there are only two of you. It's important to respect(尊重) lines there. It's a good idea to talk about the weather.

Customs in different countries.BIn the eyes of many Westerners, Chinese are the best hosts (主人) but the worst guests in the world. This is probably because the guest-host relationship in China is much different from that in some Western countries.In China, guests are almost like gods. Whenever I enter a Chines e person’s home, there is always fruit on the table for me, and someone is quick to bring me a cup of tea or water. In the West, things are different. Acting according to the host’s way of doing things is usual behavior for a guest.And there are lots of things Westerners find difficult to adapt to. For example, mymother-in-law doesn’t smoke. So when I see some of her guests smoking in her house. As anon-smoker, I feel unhappy. Usually I want to stop them directly. But I must realize that, to be a good ho st in China, she mustn’t do that. However, in most North American homes, you should not smoke in the same case. You could ask, “Is it OK if I smoke?” But don’t be surprised if you get a “no”. In our culture, it’s not considered rude at all.In China, you probably won’t need to change the guest-host relationship very much because you will probably only be the host, and Chinese are naturally very good hosts. But if western hosts invite you to their house, try not to be too surprised if their style of treating you is not what you have expected.( )16.Many Westerners think Chinese are the worst guests because ________.A. Chinese act like gods in their homeB. they don’t expect gifts from ChineseC. there are cultural differencesD.

It’s OK. Go ahead.B. Would you like a cigarette (香烟)?C. Smoking is a bad habit.D. Sorry, please don’t smoke here.( )19.In the passage, the underlined phrase “adapt to” probably means “________”.A. think back toB. get used toC. look forward toD. keep close to ( )20.When it comes to the guest-host relationship, the writer thinks ________.A. foreigners should learn from ChineseB. hosts must do things in the guests’ wayC.

Chinese are very proud of their food culture and will do their 28 to show their hospitality(好客).And sometimes the Chinese host uses their chopsticks to 29 food in your bowl or plate. This is a sign of politeness. The right thing to do would be to eat the whatever it is and say how yummy it is.

If you are in someone’s home, the cook may not like it if youdo this.五、阅读表达(共6小题，36—38每小题2分，39--41每小题3分，计15分)A young man went to visit a wise man who lived deep in the mountain.
