I always dreamed of studying abroad to learn at a world﹣class university while further exploring the grounds on which these nations achieved new milestones of development with each passing day．To study abroad after my graduation, I could not stop seeking my dream． To take the first step, I did some brainstorming and explored opportunities on the Internet and finally decided to go for China． There were a number of reasons behind it﹣its advanced education system and thousands of centuries of rich culture inspired me to study there． The primary one was my curiosity how a nation has left many nations behind in a short time at its fast pace of development．So just like that, I applied, along with some of my friends, for a master's degree program at Communication University of China． I was the only one who got selected in the program and in addition, the Chinese Scholarship Council sponsored all of my expenses． This good news was welcomed by my family．This is my seventh month in Beijing． In my experience so far, one thing that appeared to be missing was the internship（实习） which I tried to find because I want to work here after completion of my studies． After some struggles I was lucky enough to get the opportunity to work as an intern with the Center for China and Globalization （CCG）． It's very exciting to work on their team as a researcher． Now I can proudly say that my decision to choose China as a study destination was the best decision I have ever made．（1）What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 1？________A Add some background information．B Summarize the main idea of thetext． C Encourage people to pursue dreams． D Explain the reason for writing the passage．．（2）What is the most important reason for the author coming to China？________A China's rich culture．B His family's support．C China's advanced education system．D His curiosity about China's fast development．．（3）What can we learn about the author from the last paragraph？________A He plans to work in China after graduation．B He wants to be a researcher in the future．C He is most proud of studying in China．D He found a job upon arriving in Beijing．．（4）What can be a suitable title for the text？________A Learning and working in ChinaB Traveling experiences in ChinaC Realization of dreams in ChinaD Importance of having dreams．4. When people learn to drive, they subconsciously（潜意识地） absorb the "rules of the road"． The rules, however, rely heavily on common sense． They can be broken in anemergency, or help to avoid an accident． As a result, when accidents happen, it is not always clear who is at fault．All this causes a big problem for people to build autonomous vehicles （AVs）． They want AVs to be able to share the roads smoothly and safely without human drivers in predictable ways． That means setting the rules of the road in an exact way that machines can understand． The problem, says Dr Karl of an AV firm, is that every company is doing this in a different way．Last year, Dr Shashua and his colleagues published a first attempt to set a standard set of rules called "Responsibility Sensitive Safety"． Last month Voyage, another AV company, made a similar proposal（提议）, called "Open Autonomous Safety", which also explains the correct, safe behavior for vehicles in a range of circumstances． This is all a good start, says Dr Karl． It will take years rather than months for the industry to work as one around a standard, he predicts． But he is optimistic that this will happen eventually, because discussions are already under way and many people working in the field of AVs consider sharing and open﹣source to be the second nature．One area where sharing would speed up the development of a safety standard is "edge cases"﹣rare events that tax the capabilities （能力） of autonomous systems, such as unexpected behavior by other drivers, plastic bags blowing in front of a vehicle and so on． Because such events occur occasionally, and computers lack common sense to decide how to respond, training AVs to handle edge cases is hard． But by sharing with each other data from edge cases that have actually happened, AV firms can test their systems in simulators（模拟装置） to see how they would respond, and adjust them where needed, benefiting from each other's experience．（1）What do we know about the "rules of the road"？________A They are shared by all AVs．B They remain unchangeable all the time．C They can be ambiguous when accidents occur．D They make it easy to decide who is to blame in accidents．．（2）Which of the following might Dr． Karl agree with？________A Common standards will surely be set in the near future．B Companies should set road rules for AVs separately．C We should decide on correct， safe behavior for vehicles in all events．D People may work on standard road rules for AVs by sharing and joint efforts．．（3）What do "edge cases" in paragraph 4 refer to？________A Vital situations．B Infrequent situations．C Commonsituations． D Emergency situations．．（4）What is the passage mainly about？________A Safe driving rules for AVs are under way．B The significance of the "rules of the road"．C The necessity of standard rules for AVs．D How road rules are special to AVs．第二节（满分10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项．选项中有两项为多余选项．5. Smartphone is playing an important part in our daily life； we rely on it a lot． Some says it can keep us safe， help us diet and lower the risk of cancer．（1）_______It hurts your eyes． Your phone can do harm to your eyes． About 60 percent of Americans experience digital eye strain symptoms， such as dryness， irritation， blurred vision，eye fatigue， and headaches．（2）_______It can be a danger when walking． We all know that walking around town with your face in your phone can be dangerous， and there are studies that underline the point．（3）_______That is true according to a review of studies on distracted walking in the Journal of Traffic and Transportation Engineering．（4）_______When you are awake， a single buzz signaling a new notice on your phone can weaken your ability to focus on a task， researchers at Florida State University have found． Switch your phone to "do not disturb" mode to remove the distraction．It messes with your sleep．（5）_______The short﹣wavelength， bright blue light your device gives off boosts your attention during the day， but at night the light can stop the production of melatonin that helps you fall asleep． To avoid that， make a habit of not using your phone for at least 30 minutes before you close your eyes．"When you're bored， four different areas of your brain activate and work together to pull in random thoughts and combine them in unique ways，" says psychologist Larry Rosen，author of The Distracted Mind． So put your phone aside when you're alone﹣rather than taking it out to play games﹣can help inspire creative ideas．A． It hinders your memory．B． It prevents you from focusing．C． Others think it could be hurting our health．D． Watch out for this way that your phone is aging your skin．E． Scanning your phone right before bed can disturb your sleep．F． Try blinking often and taking a break from screens every 20 minutes．G． City pedestrians using their phones were more likely to be hit by a vehicle．第三部分语言知识运用（共两节）第一节完形填空（每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑．6.
