Your car will change even more than that in the next 10 years. One of the biggest changes is that cars will drive themselves."We certainly have the technology for it now." says Andrew Poliak of automotive(机动车辆的)technology supplier QNX ."We expect self-driving cars to be a mainstream(主流)thing between 2020 and 2025."The American company Google has been working on self-driving cars for years. These cars are already on the roads in the United States and are truly self-driving. Last week, the police ordered one of Google's cars to stop for driving tooslowly on a public road. The car was not breaking any law, so no one was punished.Another American company, Tesla, added an "Autopilot" feature(特点) to its cars last month. With the Autopilot turned on, the vehicle drives itself. The car will speed up, slow down, brake(刹车) and drive by itself. Y ou can take control of driving any time by turning the steering wheel or touching a pedal. The car uses sensors(感应器)to know when driveway changing is safe and whether it should speed up or slow down.Tesla Autopilot is made for cross-country driving. It keeps you in the driveway and helps you avoid hitting other cars. It does not work well on local roads, for it will not stop at a red light or stop sign.Reporter Carolyn Nicander Mohr tried the Autopilot feature(特点) of a Tesla earlier this month. She had a hard time trusting the car to do what it should do. She thought about canceling the Autopilot feature many times during her trip. She wanted to take control at every corner in the road and hit the brake when the car in front of her slowed down. However, the car drove perfectly itself.Other companies like Marcedes-Benz, Audi, BMW, Volvo and Toyota are all working on self-driving cars, too. 1.What do Andrew Poliak's words probably mean? ______A.It is too difficult for people to make self-driving cars now.B.Self-driving cars will be first put on the market in 2020.C.There will be more self-driving cars in use in the near future.D.Nobody loves to use self-driving cars at the moment.2.Which of the following is true according to the passage?A.One of the Google cars was fined for breaking the law last week.B.The Tesla’s car with Autopilot feature can sense traffic lights in front of it.C.Tesla Autopilot car worked much better than Reporter Carolyn expected.D.Tesla Autopilot is made for cross-country driving as well as local-road driving.3.Which word has the same meaning as “autopilot” ______ .A.speed up B.self- drive C.slow down D.brake4.According to the text,how many companies mentioned(提到)are working on self-driving cars?A.Three B.Five C.Six D.Seven5.From the passage, we can infer(推断)that ______ .A.Self-driving cars are popular nowadays.B.Self-driving would be trusted by anyone.C.Self-driving cars will be totally safe in the future.D.Self-driving cars still need improving.B14、阅读下列短文,根据短文内容,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选择最佳选项。

Flying cars? Robots? Or smog(烟雾)-eating buildings?②Arconic, an American company, has made plans to build a 4.8-kilometer-high skyscraper(摩天大楼). It says that the super tall building can clean not only itself b ut also the air around it by “eating” smog and pollutants(污染物). But howis it done?③Sherri McCleary, s scientist at Arconic, says they have introduced a new technology called EcoClean. It is a special coating that pulls pollutants out of the air. With a little help from sunlight and water vapour(水蒸气),the coating will produce atoms(原子能)called free radicals(自由基). It is these free radicals that will take in air pollutants, break them down, and then leave the air cleaner.④But “eating” smog and pollutants is n ot the only thing this skyscraper is able to do. In fact, thanks to 3D printing, the materials the building used will become even better and stronger---not only making the skyscraper look more modern, but also make it possible to stand strong winds and terrible weather.⑤However, some people don’t think it will work out well. Air pollution has its own character and it harms lots of cities. Does the smog-eating building have such a magical ability to stop the pollution? It seems impossible to bring the pollution under control in a short time. We should prepare ourselves for a hard fight against the pollution.⑥Sounds impossible? Anyway, Arconic believes a skyscraper of this kind will be built by 2062.1.EcoClean works by___________.A.standing terrible weather B.bowling out air pollutantsC.breaking down free radicals D.pulling pollutants out of the air2.The fourth paragraph is mainly about_________.A.what Arconic is B.how EcoClean worksC.what else this skyscraper can do D.why scientist want to build this skyscraper3.Arconic’s attitude(态度)towards the skyscraper can best be described as __________.A.hopeful B.regretful C.thankful D.unbelievable4.The writer’s purpose of writing this article is to______________.A.bring people some pleasureB.introduce a wonderful technologyC.show how to build the tall buildingD.tell us the importance of protecting the environmentB14、People read books less often in these days. With the invention of radio, television and most recently, the Internet and computer games, it seems that reading books is no longer a popular activity. However, I believe that books are an important part of our lives.Books offer an outstanding wealth of learning and at a cheaper price than taking a course. Books can make people cleverer, because heavy readers have greater knowledge of how things work and who or what people were.Everything in today’s society requires reading. Imagine trying to do something as simple as reading the directions on a medicine bottle without good reading skills. Someone could not understand them and become very sick or even die.Even something as simple as walking or driving through the city could become very dangerous without enough reading. Sometimes, you must be able to understand what is written and explain the meaning of them.Some people say that reading is a waste of time and we can do better things with our time. Even if we don't read books, we still read every day, and reading books can strengthen (加强) our abilities. Reading is one of the greatest things we can do in our spare time.With a book, you can travel anywhere you want, do anything you want, and talk to anyone you want. Reading is very important in our lives, no matter your age. So I think people should read books.1.What activity is less popular these days than before?A.Reading a book.B.Listening to the radio.C.Watching TV.D.Surfing the Internet.2.We can learn from the second paragraph that _______.A.reading can improve your memoryB.reading can make you interesting and attractiveC.reading can make you smarterD.reading can reduce stress3.The underlined word "them" in the third paragraph refers to ________.A.the books they are readingB.the directions on a medicine bottleC.the good reading skillsD.the words a doctor tells a sick person4.Some people disagree to read books because they think _________.A.walking in the city also needs reading skillsB.driving along the road is dangerousC.reading books is very helpful for our abilitiesD.reading books just wastes their time5.The best title of the passage can be _________.A.People Should Enjoy ThemselvesB.How We Improve Reading SkillsC.Why People Should Read BooksD.What We Love Doing in Spare TimeC15、Do you know Yao Beina?Not only a popular singer was Yao Beina, but also she was an energetic and warm-hearted angel.

She had won a lot of music awards before she was famous.Yao Beina was unfortunate to be diagnosed (诊断) with breast cancer (乳腺癌) and had a successful operation in 2011. Since then, she has fought against the disease for about four years while keeping singing, but sadly she failed.

It was a small coffee shop that roasted its own coffee beans. The coffee shop’s business did well, and by 1981 there were three more Starbucks stores in Seattle.Things really began to change for the company in 1981. That year, Howard Schultz met the three men who ran Starbucks. Schultz worked in New York for a company that made kitchen equipment. He noticed that Starbucks ordered a large number of special coffee makers, and he was curious about the company. Schultz went to Seattle to see what Starbucks did, and he liked what he saw. He wanted to become part of the company. In 1982, the original(原先的)Starbucks owners hired Schultz as the company’s head of marketing.In 1983, Schultz travelled to Italy. The unique atmosphere of the coffee bars there caught his eye. To Schultz, it seemed that Italians spent their daily lives in three places; home, work, and coffee bars. His experience in Italy gave Schultz a new idea for Starbucks back in Seattle.Schultz created an atmosphere for Starbucks coffee shops that was comfortable, and customers everywhere seemed to like it. Between 1987 and 1992, Starbucks opened 150 new stores—and that was only the beginning. In fact, by the year 2000, three new Starbucks stores opened somewhere around the world every day!Today, Starbucks has thousands of stores, including stores in twenty-six countries. One thing that helps make Starbucks succeed in cities outside the United States is the way Starbucks works with local stores and restaurants. By working together with a store already in the city, Starbucks gets an understanding of customers in the city. This understanding helps Starbucks open stores in the right locations for their customers.1.What is the main idea of this passage?A.How Starbucks has grown B.What Starbucks makesC.Starbucks’ customers D.How Starbucks makes its coffee2.Which is true about Starbucks’ first ten years of business?A.It grew very quickly B.It was a small companyC.It made special coffee makers D.It was run by Howard Schultz3.About how many new Starbucks opened in 1999?A.3 B.150 C.300 D.more than 10004.What helps Starbucks succeed in places outside the United States?A.Opening restaurants in just a few locations each yearB.Only selling locally produced coffee beansC.working with other major coffee-making companiesD.Learning about local customersF18、请阅读下面短文,从每小题所给的A、B、C三个选项中,选出一个最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

Bacon and eggs are always included, and then allkinds of other fried* foods are added. This could includesausages, tomatoes, mushrooms, hash browns (potato patties)or fried bread.The full English breakfast is popular, but in fact British people eat all kinds of things when they wake up in the morning. Cooking up bacon, eggs and sausages can take a long while, and most people don’t have enough time to do that every day. It leaves behind lots of washing up to do too.In fact, the most popular breakfast foods in the UK are breakfast cereals, like cornflakes, which were invented in America over 100 years ago. There is a big selection of breakfast cereals. These are usually made from corn, wheat, rice or oats, and are eaten in a bowl with cold milk.And finally, very importantly, most adults in the West won’t feel like they have eaten theirbreakfast unless they have drunk a hot drink with it. In the UK, tea is the most popular drink, though some people prefer coffee.But is breakfast really the most important meal of the day? Scientists seem to think so. Research suggests that when we eat breakfast in the morning, it gives us energy and helps to keep our bodies.29. Which of the following is usually NOT included in an English breakfast?A. sausagesB. baconC. ice-creamD. cornflakes30. What does the word “filling” mean in paragraph 2?A. 能吃饱的B. 味道好的C. 健康的D. 清淡的31. Why are the breakfast cereals more popular than full English breakfast?A. Breakfast cereals are easier to make and they are healthier.B. Breakfast cereals include more kinds of foods.C. People don’t mind doing the washing up after eating.D. People like to cook and eat fried foods in the morning.32. Which of the following is TRUE?A. Tomatoes are not included in a full breakfast.B. Cornflakes were firstly invented in England.C. Adults in the West enjoy breakfast without hot drinks.D. Breakfast in the morning makes us energetic and healthy.COur 14-year-old dog, Abbey, died last month. The day aftershe died, my 4-year-old daughter Meredith was crying and talkingabout how much she missed Abbey. She asked if I could help herwrite a letter to God, so that when Abbey got to heaven, Godwould recognize* her. I agreed and wrote like this: ....................................................Dear God,Will you please take care of my dog? She died yesterday andis with you in heaven. I miss her very much. I am happy that you let me have her as my dog even though she got sick. I hope you will play with her. She likes to play with balls and to swim. I am sending a picture of her so when you see her you will know that she is my dog. I really miss her.Love,Meredith. ....................................................We put the letter in an envelope with a picture of Abbey and Meredith and addressed it to: God in Heaven. We put our return address on it. Then Meredith pasted several stamps on the front of the envelope because she said it would take lots of stamps to get the letter all the way to heaven. That afternoon she dropped it into the letter box at the post office.A few days later, there was a package wrapped in gold paper addressed, "To Meredith" in an unfamiliar hand.Meredith opened it. Inside was a book titled "When a Pet Dies", together with the picture of Abbey & Meredith and this note: ....................................................Dear Meredith,Abbey arrived safely in heaven. Having the picture was a big help. I recognized Abbey rightaway. Abbey isn't sick anymore. Her spirit is here with me just like it stays in your heart. Abbey loved being your dog. Since we don't need our bodies in heaven, I don't have any pockets to keep your picture in, so I am sending it back to you in this little book for you to keep and have something to remember Abbey by.Thank you for the beautiful letter your mother helping you to write to me. What a wonderful mother you have. I picked her especially for you. I send my blessings every day and remember that I love you very much. By the way, I am easy to find. I am wherever there is love.Love,God33. The little girl asked her mom to write a letter to God because ________.A. she hoped God would look after her dog well.B. she expected to know if her dog missed her too.C. she missed her dog and wanted to connect with it.D. she wanted to send a picture to her dog in heaven.34. From the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3, we can infer that Meredith felt ________.A. sadB. hopefulC. joyfulD. nervous35. According to this passage, the one who wrote back to Meredith might be ________.A. her mother who didn’t want to disappoint MeredithB. a writer who wrote the book When a Pet DiesC. God in the heaven who received Meredith’s letterD. a stranger who worked in the post office36. Why did “the God” write the letter to Meredith?_____________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________DAre you a procrastinator? Do you often keep leaving things you should do until later? It’s a common problem. And it can be harmful, as previous* research has shown that people who procrastinate have higher levels of stress and lower happiness.Now a new study has found a way to deal with this problem: Be more connected to your future self.Psychologists* think that each person believes they are r eally two people: “Present Me” and “Future Me”. “People act as if they prefer their present self’s needs and desires* to those of their future self,” wrote psychologists Neil Lewis of the University of Michigan and Daphna Oyserman of the University of Southern California in a new study.Oyserman and Lewis decided to try to find a way to make “Present Me” imagine exactly how “Future Me” would feel the night before a big paper was due*, that “Present Me” hadn’t started yet. They made “Present Me” think about a far-off event as a number of days away, not months or years. Thinking about events in this way meant that something like a friend’s wedding* “seemed 16.3 days sooner when considered in days rather than months and 11.4 months sooner when considered in mon ths rather than years”, according to the study’s authors.The researchers also tried to find out whether people would take action sooner if they were told a certain event was happening in X days rather than (X/365) years. For example, participants* imagined they had a newborn child, and that the child would need to go to college in either 18 years or 6,570 days. The researchers found those in the “days” condition planned to start savingfour times sooner than those in the “years” condition.So if you think of your life in days instead of years, you may get things done quicker. So, perhaps it’s time to change your calendar?37. Through their study, Oyserman and Lewis ______.A. did a research to test if someone is a procrastinatorB. found out that people usually have two different charactersC. discovered that procrastinators have a lower sense of happinessD. proved it is helpful to connect our future self more to our present self38. The underlined phrase “this way” in Paragraph 4 refers to ______.A. setting up strict deadlinesB. counting in smaller units of timeC. imagining how your future self will feelD. following schedules strictly39. Which of the following helps prevent people from procrastinating?A. Considering their present selves’ needs and desires.B. Comparing their present selves with their future selves.C. Thinking about far-off events in days rather than years.D. Marking important events on a calendar to help remember.40. What is the article mainly about?A. The harmful effects of procrastination.B. A new way to get things done in time.C. Why people often miss their future needs and desires.D. How people could reduce stress and improve happiness.卷II四、词汇运用(本题有15小题,每小题1分,共15分)A. 用方框中所给单词的适当形式填空。
