（A）
I am Mike Smith, a doctor from London. I really feel that life in China is changing so quickly. Recently I had a business trip to Tianjin. I left my Beijing apartment and walked half a street to the subway station. About twelve stops later, I reached the high-speed rail station. After two minutes of security (安检), I picked up my ticket, which I had bought on my phone while on the subway. Then I walked to the terminal (终点站) and got on the train. Twenty-eight minutes later, I was in the center of a beautiful city—Tianjin. I could enjoy a nice walk along the riverside towards my hotel. It is amazing that the whole experience took no more than a few hours, with no cars, no airports, no credit cards (信用卡) and no long lines, just my smart phone, only a few US dollars and comfortable walking shoes. In most places in the developed world, there is no experience like this. But China is different.
So in my opinion, if we think highly of China’s modern wonders, I believe its high-speed rail system must be one of them. And it's one symbol of a new China and a sign of China’s strength (实力) as well.
26．Mike Smith is from ________.
A．America B．the UK C．Australia D．Canada 27．Mike bought his ticket to Tianjin ________.
A．on his phone B．from the high-speed rail ticket office C．from the subway ticket office D．with the help of his friend
28．How many traffic tools did Mike use from his apartment to his hotel in Tianjin?
A．One.B．Two.C．Three.D．Four. 29．According to the passage, which of the following isn’t Mike’s ideas about his trip? A．Comfortable.B．Fast.C．Cheap.D．Boring. 30．What is Mike’s attitude (态度) to Chinese high-speed rail train?
A．He looks down upon it.B．He dislikes it.C．He thinks highly of it.
D．He hates it.
（B）
How do we know the time? A clock, a watch or a mobile phone can help us. However, many years ago there were no clocks and knowing the time was not so easy. Over the centuries people have developed different ways of telling the time.
About 5, 500 years ago, the Egyptians invented the sun clock. This was a tall stone building. Its shadow(影子)showed the movement of the sun. So people were able to know midday. The Egyptians made a sundial about 3,500 years ago. It was smaller than the sun clock and could let people know the time for half a day. On cloudy days or at night it was impossible to tell the time with a sun clock or a sundial. Water clocks not were the first clocks not to use the sun. The idea is simple. Water flows(流动) from one bottle to another. When the water reaches a certain level, it shows the hours. The Egyptians used water clocks about 3,400 years ago. These clocks were popular in the Middle East and China. But they failed to make people know the exact time.
In the 13th century, the mechanical clock was invented. This was more exact, but it was expensive to make one. Over the next few centuries it was developed. For example springs(发条) were added around 1500. This enabled people to get the correct time and allowed clocks to be smaller. In 1927, the first quartz watch was developed. Clocks became cheaper to make. It’s also cheaper for ordinary people to own a clock. People began depending on them more and more to run businesses, markets and so on. More recently, in 1956, came the digital clock. And nowadays satellites send our mobile phones the time to the exact second.
There has been a lot of progress in timekeeping. Clocks are always changing but some things
never change. Many of us sill have trouble getting out of bed on time and not being late for school or work.
31．According to the passage, we can’t use a ________ tell the time on a rainy day.
A．water clock B．sun clock C．digital clock D．mechanical clock 32．What’s the meaning of the underlined word “ordinary” in the third paragraph?
A．现代的B．特殊的C．富有的D．普通的33．How many kinds of clocks are mentioned in the passage?
A．Four.B．Five.C．Six.D．Seven. 34．Which of the following shows the structure(结构)of the passage?
(①= Paragraph 1 ①= Paragraph 2...)
A．B．
C．D．
35．What does the passage mainly talk about?
A．The importance of time.B．The development of timekeeping
C．The inventions of clocks.D．The history of a digital clock.

Google and Toyota have worked together to create a new smart car. It can run on the road without a driver. It drives itself. The self-driving car hasn’t been on sale to the public, so we don’t know how much it costs. Another thing most people want to know is whether it will be safe enough to run on the road.
The self-driving car uses electricity as its power, and it can’t drive very quickly—the top speed would be 25 miles per hour. It is actually controlled by a computer system (系统) on the car. The system keeps on collecting information by some video cameras inside the car and a LIDAR sensor (激光雷达传感器) on top of it. A computer processes the information and decides what to
do. “The self-driving car has only buttons for go and stop, so it’s very easy to use,” an engineer of Google says. “And what’s more, it will make car accidents less and make the world a safer place.” The self-driving car has driven hundreds of thousands of miles in California, and it has only gotten into two accidents by human mistake.
According to CNN, self-driving cars will also help to reduce (减少) the number of cars in big cities. “Self-driving cars would be able to send you to the workplace and then pick up another person instead of stopping in a parking lot.”
36．We don’t know the price of the self-driving car because ________.
A．it is on sale only in America
B．it isn’t made for sale
C．people can get it for free
D．it hasn’t been on sale to the public
37．The self-driving car can collect information using ________.
①video cameras ①a computer
①a LIDAR sensor ①a computer system
A．①①B．①①
C．①①①D．①①①①
38．According to CNN, self-driving cars will ________.
A．send us more quickly to the workplace
B．lead to heavier traffic
C．improve traffic condition in big cities
D．carry more people than a normal car
39．Which statements is not Right?
A．The self-driving car uses electricity as its power.
B．it will make car accidents less.
C．Toyota created a new smart car.
D．It’s not difficult to use.
40．The underlined word “ button” means “________” in Chinese?
A．遥控器B．按钮C．开关D．设备
（D）
“Life is speeding up. Everyone is getting unwell.”
This may sound like something someone would say today. But in fact, an unknown person who lived in Rome in AD(公元) 53 wrote it.
We all love new inventions. They are exciting, amazing and can even change our lives. But have all these developments really improved the quality of our lives?
Picture this. You’re rushing to finish your homework on the computer. Your mobile phone rings, a QQ message from your friend appears on the screen, the noise from the television is getting louder and louder. Suddenly the computer goes blank and you lose all your work. Now you have to stay up all night to get it done. How happy do you feel?
Inventions have speeded up our lives so much that they often leave up feeling stressed and tired. Why do you think people who live far away from noisy cities, who have no telephones, no cars, not even any electricity often seem to be happier? Perhaps because they live simpler lives.
One family in the UK went “back in time” to see what life was like without all the inventions we have today. The grandparents, with their daughter, and grandsons Benjamin, 10 and Thomas, 7, spent nine weeks in a 1940s house. They had no washing machine, microwave(微波炉), computer or mobile phones.
The grandmother, Lyn, said, “The more things you have, the more difficult life becomes.” The boys said they fought less. Probably, they said, because there was less to fight over, such as their computer. Benjamin also noticed that his grandmother had changed from being a “trendy(赶时髦的), beer-drinking granny”, to one who cooked things.
