（测试时间：60分钟满分：100分）I. 阅读理解（40）AA news release (释放，发布）is a tool of communication，through which information is passed to even the farthest end of the world.It keeps us well informed of the happenings of the world which would otherwise remain unknown.When writing a news release，keep in mind that the media receive hundreds of releases every day.Try to follow these guidelines：Keep it short and e up with a catchy headline that will grasp someone's attention.Sometimes the title will take more time to come up with than writing the release.That's okay－the headline could be critical for getting an event covered!Cover the 5 W's in your first paragraph.Those are who you are; what you are doing；where，when you are doing；why you are doing it，which help us understand the details about the event.Besides，any opinions in the news release should be put in quotations from your designated spokesperson.Include things that the media finds newsworthy，which is the most essential.Make the time on your news release at least half an hour later than the time you have told activists to show up at an event.This will ensure that activists are prepared and in place by the time the media arrive.Choose a spokesperson for the event who can be quoted in the release and will be available for calls at that number the day before the event.Have someone proof the release for spelling，grammar and content (determine whether what you are trying to relay is clear and right)．Sometimes the person who writes the release may not notice mistakes that a fresh pair of eyes will catch.Accuracy is the last but not least important in terms of your content and the location and time that you tell the media.If you do make a mistake，it is critical that you call and notify the media of the correction.1．What's the main purpose of the passage?A．To tell us the importance of the news release.B．To tell us how to avoid mistakes in the news release.C．To make us know how to make the news release.D．To ask us to read news release on the latest events.2．What does the underlined word “catchy” in Para 2 probably mean?A．Tricky. B．Attractive.C．Imaginary. D．Funny.3．What is the most important for a news release according to the passage?A．Make sure the 5 W's in your first paragraph.B．Choose a proper spokesperson for the event.C．Make the news release newsworthy and accuracy.D．Ensure activists are prepared for the events in advance.【答案】1.C2.B3.C【解析】3.C细节理解题。

Actually, some people are late not deliberately but because they misunderstand others’ opinions or pay too much attention to details.As we all know, frequent lateness will have negative effects on one’s daily life. On the one hand, unpunctual people tend to leave a bad impression on those who have made the appointment with them. Others usually regard being punctual as a sign of keeping the promise. On the other hand, lateness sometimes brings about much trouble in solving urgent problems.As for those who are unintentionally late, like Johnson and Joanna, I have two suggestions as follows. First, whenever you make appointments with others, make sure you have understood all the details and try to get there a few minutes before the appointed time. Second, make good preparations for the appointments but never become too particular about every detail.附-1—评分标准1．本题总分为25分，按5个档次给分。

ALast year my summer holiday was spoiled by my bringing along my iPad. Instead of looking at nature, I checked my e-mail. Instead of paddling a small boat, I followed my Twitter feed（推特简讯）. I was behaving as if I were still in the office. My body was on vac ation, but my head wasn’t.So this year I made up my mind to try something different: withdrawal from the Internet. I knew it wouldn’t be easy, since I’m bad at self-control. But I was determined. I started by giving the iPad to my wife.The cellphone signal at our house was worse than in the past, making my attempts at cheating an experience in frustration . I was trapped, forced to go through with my plan. Largely breaking away from e-mail and Twitter, I had few ways to connect to the world except for the radio—and how much radio can one listen to, really? I had to do what I had planned to do all along: read books.This experience has had a happy ending. With determination and the strong support of my wife, I won in my vacation struggle against the Internet, realizing finally that it was I, not the iPad, that was the problem. I knew I had won when we passed a Starbucks and my wife asked if I wanted to stop to use the Wi-Fi. ―I don’t need it,‖ I said.However, as we return to post-vacation life, a harder test begins: Can I continue when I’m back at work? I have no intention of giving up my convenience completely. But I hope to resist the temptation to check my e-mail every five minutes, which leads to checking my Twitter feed .I think a vacation is supposed to help you rest your brain to become more productive. Here I hope this one worked.1. What do we know about the author’s last summer vacation?A. He was determined to enjoy the beautiful view.B. His iPad ruined his plan of finishing a great novel.C. He hated himself for acting as if he were working on vacation.D. He felt satisfied that he had stuck to his usual timetable.2. When back at work, the author will probably choose to ________.A. keep control of when and how to use the InternetB. continue to read more and more booksC. stay away from the Internet for everD. stop checking what is being said right now completely3. What is the author’s opinion of a great vacation in the passage?A. A vacation is having nothing to do but read all day.B. A vacation proves that a life of pleasure is overvalued.C. A vacation means a change of pace to make one more creative.D. A vacation is a period of time to do whatever one wishes to.BTrip to Alaska National ParksThis four-day train trip, which traverses both Denali and Kenai Fjords National Parks, allows for true appreciation of Alaska’s natural beauty. The route takes in peaks and forests, including a stop at the foot of 20,320-foot-high Mount McKinley, North America’s tallest mountain. Though the train has comfortable seating and a luxurious dining car, nights are spent at off-train lodging like the Grande Denali Lodge.India Tour, Maharajas’ ExpressMaharajas’ Express is the most luxurious train in the world. Started in 2010, and limited to 88 passengers on each trip, the train features luxurious private suites with marble baths and panoramic （全景）windows. On the five-day, four-night trip, which starts and ends in Delhi, passengers make stops to visit the splendid Taj Mahal at Agra, take a tiger safari at Ranthambore National Park, and shop and watch an elephant-polo match in Jaipur.Tales of Laos Tour, Eastern & Oriental ExpressThe sister train to Europe’s Venice Simplon Orient-Express, the Eastern & Oriental Express offers the same level of service and comfort. What’s completely different about the Eastern, of course, is the scenery that passengers can see through the train’s large windows.Among the attractive sights on the four-day, three-night Tales of Laos Tour are green rice paddies（水稻梯田）and locals riding elephants.Cuzco to Machu Picchu Route, Hiram BinghamThe Hiram Bingham, a train operating in Peru, leads guests on a magical day trip from Cuzco to the ruins of Machu Picchu. During the three-hour trip —which covers about 50 miles —the train winds through the thick jungle and across two high mountains. Once it arrives at the city of Machu Picchu, passengers get a five-hour tour through the fascinating site before heading back to Cuzco.4. The underlined word ―traverses‖ in Paragraph 1 probably means _______.A. leaves forB. consists ofC. moves acrossD. arrives at5. According to this passage, the longest journey may be _______.A. Trip to Alaska National ParksB. India TourC. Tales of Laos TourD. Cuzco to Machu Picchu Route6. The Eastern & Oriental Express is different from Europe’s Venice Simplon Orient-Express in that _______.A. it offers satisfying serviceB. travelers feel every relaxedC. the dining car has a good environmentD. it provides a better view of the scenery7. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. On the Trip to Alaska National Parks, visitors spend the night in the luxurious dining car.B. India Tour offers different attractions, varying from experiencing the cultural relic todoing some shopping.C. On the Tales of Laos Tour, visitors can enjoy wonderful rice paddies and ride elephants.D. The Cuzco to Machu Picchu Route starts in Cuzco and ends in Machu Picchu.CDid you know that many people today are getting extra work by taking translating jobs online? It’s true! And you can do it too. Many companies in the USA need translators now to translate simple documents online from Chinese to English, such as emails, website content, movie subtitles and more.Companies like Real Translator Jobs are actively seeking translators from China to fill demand. There are more translation jobs than people to complete them. This leaves a big opportunity for anyone to start doing this and earn extra money.Do you have to speak perfect English? No! Even basic knowledge of English is OK. This is really a job for anyone from China who wants to do it.We spoke to one student from Beijing, Harris, who has been doing this for 2 years now and is earning between $150 and $225 every day. He completes about 3 to 4 jobs per day which takes him about 3 hours. It’s an incredible amount ofmoney to earn !It is great that we now live in the ―Information Age‖ and opportunities like this are available to people in China to earn extra money working from home over the Internet. This type of work is surely to do great things for young people in China.If you would also like to do this, it’s easy to get started. Just follow these steps:1. Sign up at Real Translator Jobs (where Chinese translators are needed now), or a similar service.2. Review the job posting and complete the ones you like.3. Get paid once per month by cheque, PayPal or bank wire transfer.I hope you enjoyed this information and good luck earning extra money online translating documents.8.

Getting paid once a month in cash.DWe spend a quarter of our lives asleep. Sleep is necessary for the body to rest, yet our brains continue to process information. Studies have shown that students are more successful when they sleep after studying–instead of pulling all-nighters–because the brain reviews information learned. Similarly, dreaming is an opportunity to work out emotional problems and form thoughts and memories. About 25 percent of the time spent sleeping is spent in rapid eye movement, or REM, sleep. This type of sleep is known for when dreams occur, but it also helps energize the brain and body.Researchers have found two important factors regarding humans and sleep: basic sleep need and sleep debt. Basicsleep need is the amount of sleep we need to have regularly to perform at our best. Sleep debt is the loss of sleep. A few studies say that most adults function best with a basic sleep need of seven to eight hours a night. The problem is that sleep debt also factors in, just because that you meet your basic sleep needs a few nights of the week doesn’t mean it cancels out the effects of one night’s sleep debt.Of course, everyone is different and some people require more or less sleep than the standard basic sleep need. But the real problem lies in what lack of sleep does over the long period to people who either does not meet his or her body’s needs or for one reason or another doesn’t get enough regular sleep. It is more possible for these people to have motor vehicle accidents, weight gain and risk for heart disease or diabetes (糖尿病) and may be at increased risk for psychological conditions such as depression or drug abuse. Sleeping too long also can be associated with depression and poor health.12. Most people spent around ______ of the sleeping time in REM sleep?A. One third of the timeB. More than half of the timeC. One fourth of the timeD. More than 5 hours every day13. Which of the following is NOT the result for lack of sleep according to the passage?A. Car accidents.B. Putting on weight.C. Heart problems.D. Review learning things.14. The best title for the passage is ______.A. Why We Need SleepB. REMSleep and Basic SleepC. Sleep Causes ProblemsD. How Much Sleep We Need15. Which statement is TRUE according to the passage?A. Students will forget what they have learned if they go to sleep immediately after study.B. People may have an idea on how to solve an emotional problem if they have a dream.C. It’s all right to have a night of sleep debt if you fulfill several days of basic sleep need.D. Sleeping as long as you can is considered to be good for your health and performance.第二节（共5 小题，每小题 2 分，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。

After a few days she was still amazed at how friendly everyone was to her until she took a taxi back to her hotel one night.

There stood a man in his seventies, wearing glasses and a nice smile. I thought, well, he's an old guy! For the next few minutes I watched him. He greeted every customer before scanning the items. Sure, his words were the usual, “How's it going？” But he did something different—he actually listened to people. Then he would respond to what they had said and engage them in a brief conversation.I thought it was odd. I had grown accustomed to people asking me how I was doing simply out of robotic conversational habit. After a while, you don't give any thought to the question and just mumble something back. I could say, “I just found out I have six months to live，” and someone would reply, “Have a great day！” But that wasn't the end.He gave them the change, walked around the counter, and extended his right hand in an act of friendship. He looked the customers in the eyes. “I surely want to thank you for shopping here today，” he told them. “You have a great day. Bye bye.”The looks on the faces of the customers were priceless. There were smiles and some sheepish grins. All had been touched by his simple gesture—and in a place they never expected. They would gather their things and walk out, smiling.Of course, he did the same to me and I got to know his name, Marty.Who was that guy? It was as if Sam Walton had come back from the dead and invaded this old guy's body. I had never walked away from that shop feeling like that.7．According to the writer, when common people ask you “How's it going？”A．they don't really care what you may answer.B．they are just practicing their conversation ability.C．they are inquiring about your private information.D．they don't expect to hear any negative answers.8．What was most customers' reaction to Marty's behaviors?A．They thought it priceless. B．They were in some way moved.C．They thought it awful and odd. D．They felt somewhat offended.9．What can we infer about Sam Walton?A．He might be Marty's father or grandfather.B．He might be friendly and devoted to WalMart.C．He might have died while working in the market.D．He might have come back from the dead once before.10．What does the writer intend to express through the text?A．Our everyday life is always full of surprises.B．Most customers enjoy being treated this way.C．Being different is a good way of doing business.D．A little positive action can make a big difference.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分。

So our storytellers have come from distant lands to connect us with the distance of time,”he said early this month.Two Inuit women, both in their mid-60s, are among the few remaining who can do Kntadjait, or throat singing, which has few words and much sound. Their art is governed by the cold of their surroundings, forcing them to say little but listen attentively.8Ambrose started the festival in 1993, after several years of working with those reviving (复活的) storytelling in Wales.“It came out of a group of people who wanted to reconnect with traditions, and as all the Welsh are storytellers, it was in good hands here.”Ambrose said.1.

According to the passage, we can know that the two Inuit women are about ______ years old.A. 40B. 50C. 65D. 704. According to the writer, which of the following is NOT true?A. Storytelling once stopped in Wales.B. Storytelling has a long history in Wales.C. Storytelling Festival invites storytellers only from WalesD. Storytelling did not come back until 1993 in Wales.5. The underlined phrase “in good hands”means _______.A. controlled by rich peopleB. grasped by good storytellers10C. taken good care ofD. protected by kind peopleBApril 22 is Earth Day. On that day, people all over the world take time to celebrate and appreciate the earth that we all share. Some listen to speeches about the environment. Others help do some cleaning or conserve water and electricity at home. Your parents may even decide to take a day off from driving their cars. Maybe you, your friends and your school have a plan to celebrate Earth Day, too. What inspired this celebration in the first place?The idea for Earth Day came from one man, a US senator(参议员）from Wisconsin who was worried about pollution and the health of plants and animals. In 1969, Senator Gaylord Nelson decided that a special day to teach everyone about the things that needed changing in our environment could really help our planet. The idea quickly caught on and in 1970, the first Earth Day was celebrated. More than 20 million people participated all over the US. Since then, environmentalists have used the day to educate people about their role in protecting our planet.Eventually, Earth Day became a global celebration marked by people all over the world. In 1990, 200 million people from 140 countries took part in marches, gatherings, concerts, festivals, street fairs, clean-ups, planting and other environmental events on Earth Day.Today, there are many forms of human-caused pollution that threaten the earth. Among them are global warming and threats to endangered animals, clean water, healthy forests and clean sources of energy. Many governments debate and pass laws to protect our environment, but there’s a lot we can do on our own to make the earth a safer, cleaner place.1. This passage mainly tells us _______.A. how Earth Day was put forward by a US senator.B. Earth Day becomes a global celebration now.C. how Earth Day developed in the past years.D. Earth Day educates people to protect the nature.2. The underlined phrase “caught on “ in the second paragraph can be replaced by “________ “.A. became popularB. was disagreedC. put forwardD. carried out3. Which way did NOT people use to celebrate Earth Day in 1990?A. GatheringB. DancingC. PlantingD. Doing clean-ups4. What is the main purpose of the last paragraph?A. To tell people more about Earth Day.B. To get readers to celebrate Earth Day.C. To remind people of the pollution now.D. To call on readers to protect environment.5. Which of the following forms of human-caused pollution is NOT mentioned in the last paragraph?A. Global warmingB. Threats to endangered animalsC. Clean water pollutionD. Plastic pollution.CGetting paid to talk about the World Cup is a great job. I’m not a football commentator(评论员), though----just an English teacher in Japan.I came to Japan two years ago, and didn’t think I would stay, but Japan has that effect on you. People usually end up living here longer than they planned. I think it’s best to teach in a biggest city where there are other foreigners to mix with, rather than a small town where English teachers often complain of feeling like a goldfish in a pond. Many people choose to live in Tokyo, of course, which is good for the nightlife factor. But I’d say that for general quality of living, cities that are neither too large nor too small, like Sapporo where I live, are better choices.I teach English privately, which means I’m my own boss. If you want to devote yourself to private teaching, it’s well worth doing a TEFL course first because your lessons will be much better for it. The problem with private teaching is finding students; it took me a year to build up a full schedule(日程表）of private lessons, so I started out teaching in schools part-time.Most of my foreign friends here work full-time for big English conversation schools. The salary is fine to live on. But whether you can save money depends on how much going out and travelling you do here.The schools are reluctant to take time off----even teachers with tickets for the England--Argentina game had trouble getting the day off.1. From the passage we know in Japan the writer likes to live in _____.A. TokyoB. a small townC. a city of middle sizeD. a big city.2. According to the passage, the writer had meant to stay in Japan______.A. for a long timeB. for a short timeC. as a football commentatorD. to see football matches.3. According to the writer, one had better _____ first to do private teaching better.A. build up a full scheduleB. decide his or her own lessons.C. find studentsD. take a TEFL course.4. The underlined sentence in the second paragraph implies that _____.A. there are many foreigners in Japan.B. Tokyo is good for nightlife.C. they can teach English privately in Japan.D. Japan has something more attractive than expected.5. The underlined word “reluctant” in the last paragraph may probablymean______.A. kindB. unwillingC. freeD. careless.DMaybe you are an average student. You probably think you will never be a top student. This is not necessarily so, however, anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to.Plan your time carefully.When planning your week, you should make a list of things that you have to do. After that, you should make a schedule of your time. First arrange your time for eating, sleeping, dressing, etc. Then decide a good regular time for studying. Don’t forget to set aside enough time for entertainment.Make good use of your time in class.Take advantage of class time to listen to everything the teacher say. Really listening in class means less work later. Taking class notes will help you remember what the teacher says.Study regularly.When you get home from school, go over your notes. Review the important point that your teacher has mentioned in class. If you know what teacher is going to discuss the next day, read the material. If you do these things regularly, they will be very helpful.Develop a good attitude about the tests. The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. They help you to remember your new knowledge. The world won’t end if you don’t pass a test, so don’t be overly worried.1.What should you do if you want to remember what the teacher says in class?___________________________________________________________2.According to the passage, what is the purpose of a test?_________________________________________________________3.When should you go over your notes?___________________________________________________________4.

Most of the visiting eagles will fly north againwhen spring arrives.But for a few months,tourists floc here to see America t s national bird.The bald eagle is one of America's largest birds of prey and has een vision,spotting objects a mile away.The birds mate for life and usually return to the same nest every year.Their nests,some of the world's largest,are often cone-shaped.In the spring,the female will lay one to three eggs.Then she and her male tae turns warming the eggs and guarding the nest.It is believed that at one time there were half a million eagles in North America.By 1963,though,their numbers had dropped to 417 nesting pairs in the lower 48 states.There were many causes,but the major reason was the use of the pesticide DDT.In 1972 the US forbade the pesticide,and bald eagles now number around 9,800 nesting pairs.While bald eagles are no longer endangered,there are still laws that provide protection for them.People everywhere hope this proud bird will fly free in the sies for many years to come.29.The first paragraph is mainly about .A.the big sie of Reelfoot LaeB.the beauty of Reelfoot LaeC.the strong earthquae in 1812D.the birth of Reelfoot Lae30.Why did the bald eagles come to the lae?A.To get enough fish to eat.B.To avoid the hunting in the northern US.C.To find water for laying eggs.D.To wait for the arrival of spring,31.What do we now about bald eagles?A.They usually mae nests every year.B.They have a good eyesight.C.They build the world's largest nests.D.They build egg-shaped nest.DOut of sight,out of mind.An apple a day eeps the doctor away.Don't put all your eggs in one baset.Have you heard any of these proverbs before?Each phrase teaches a common truth.But what eactly is a proverb?It's a short statement that contains a general truth.It is popularly nown and often repeated.Every culture has proverbs,and while some are special far one culture,there are common themes.For eample,many cultures value old people for their wisdom and eperience.This idea can be found in proverbs.A Chinese proverb says,"An old horse will never get lost".And a Portuguese（葡萄牙的）proverb states,"An old pan is the one that maes goodfood."Many cultures also agree that acting in haste is not a good idea.The English say,"Good and quicly seldom meet".The Chinese say,"Thin three times before you act."There is a saying To truly now a people,learn their proverbs.People in Saudi Arabia value boos and learning.One of their proverbs says,"A boo is a garden carried in the pocet."Egyptians now the value of friendship.One of their proverbs says,"Friendship doubles joy and halves grief."In Africa,many proverbs also use images familiar to Africans.For eample,"A roaring lion ills no game."This means that one cannot achieve anything by sitting around and taling about it.One must get out and strive for it.Here are some English language proverbs that have been coined since 1900."Wae up and smell the coffee."

Th e four-year-old dog set off racing after the sheep across several fields an d, being a city animal, lost both her sheep and her sense of di rection. Then she ran along the edge of cliff( 悬崖) and fell 100 feet, bouncing(反弹) off a rock into the sea. Her owner Mike Holden panicked(惊慌) and called the coastguard(海岸警备队) of Cornwall, who turned up in seconds . Six volunteers slid (滑落) down the cliff with the help of a rope but gave up all hope of finding her alive after a 90-minute search.Three days later, a hurricane hit the coast near Cornwall. Mr.Holden returned home from his holiday upset and convinced his pet was dead. He comforted(安慰) himself with the thought she had died in the most beautiful part of the country.For the next two weeks, the Holdens were heartbroken . Then , one day, the phone rang and Steve Tregear, the coastguard of Cornwall, asked Holder if he wo uld like his dog bark.A birdwatcher, armed with a telescope, found the pet sitting d esperately on a rock. While he sounded the alarm, a student f rom Leeds climbed down the cliff to collect Judy.The dog had initially(最初地) been knocked unconscious(失去知觉的)but had survived by drinking water from a fresh scream at t he base of the cliff. She may have fed on the body of a sheep which had also fallen over the edge. “The dog was very thin a nd hungry,” Steve Tregear said , “It was a very dog.

Coming Back from t he Dead.CIn ancient Egypt, a shopkeeper (店主) discovered that he could attract customers to hisshop simply by making changes to its environment.

But a phone call years ago found him a new career.“I got a random phone call one day，” he says. “They asked me if I could make a picture in somebody's lawn(草坪), and I thought: ‘well, you can make a picture out of anythin g, can't you？’” As a result, the finished masterpiece ended u p in the newspapers and, before he knew it, Naylor had a new profession: lawn artist.With a background in art, rather than gardening, battling natur e was a new experience for Naylor when he started. “It was a new challenge and it was very hard to research lawn art. How do you do it? There's not much of it out there. So I had to wor k out how it would work, and what I'd need.” He says.As a lawn artist, however, there is no room for error. And ther e's no time to wait for the grass to grow back again if it all goe s wrong. So Naylor has to get it right for the first time. “If you a ccidentally cut the wrong bit off, you can't just patch(修补) it up again. You can't start again.”“Planning is key，” he says. “Grass is not a nice artistic mediu m. It's not very easy to handle.” Besides, lawn art may be imp ressive, but it only happens during the summer. “The rest of my year, I'm painting or using pens, pencils—normal things.”He may have cut out a new professional field, but he sees it li ke any other art project. “When you become a lawn artist, youhave to say yes to any challenge.”However, as the rain falls over each new artwork, the grass s oon grows back and the image is quickly lost. “That's the ann oying thing about nature，” says Naylor.5．How was Naylor's first art work in the lawn?A．It was only a small one. B．It was difficult to create. C．It made him famous. D．It was created in winter. 6．What matters most to a lawn artist?A．Accuracy. B．Opportunity. C．Knowledge. D．Courage .7．What can we infer about lawn art?A．It has a long history. B．It can be created randomly. C．Rain is a help to the lawn art. D．It is a combination of ar t and gardening.CThe days of staring at the computer screen pretending to take an interest in an assignment even though you are bored out of your mind may soon be coming to an end. That's because computers of the future will be able to detect boredom and ev en react to it in real time.But before you get concerned, the machine is not reading you r mind. It is just keeping track of the constant involuntary movements that people exhibit when in front of a computer or eve n a television. These are not the bigger instrumental actions li ke moving a mouse or using the remote, but sensitive hardly noticeable movements like scratching. Researcher Witchel sa ys the level of movement directly shows how absorbed the pe rson is in what he/she is reading or watching—the higher the interest level, the less the movement!To test the theory, Witchel and his team invited 27 people and exposed them to a variety of digital content for three minutes at a time. The activities ranged from playing online games to r eading documents like the EU banking regulations that most p eople would find boring.A video motion (动作) tracker monitored their movements as they powered throu gh each assignment. Just as the researchers had suspected, the involuntary actions decreased remarkably, by as much as 42%, when the subjects were totally absorbed in what they w ere reading or seeing.Fortunately, the scientists are not planning to use the findings to create machines that report students who are not focusing at school. Instead, they believe that applying the motion detec ting technology to future computers will help improve the digit al learning experience.The scientists say being able to judge the student's interest le vel will enable educators to adjust the materials in real time a nd reengage the student. Witchel also believes that the techn ology can provide filmmakers with honest audience opinions. 8．Which movement does the machine keep track of? A．Breathing. B．Typing. C．Scratching. D．Walking. 9．What might people's high level of movement indicate durin g TVwatching?A．They are getting excited. B．They are feeling bored. C．They are very interested. D．They are thinking actively. 10．How did the researchers come to the conclusion?A．By a followup survey. B．By analysing previous data. C．By means of questionnaires. D．By observing participant s' performance.11．Which field will detecting technology be applied to? A．Agriculture. B．Politics. C．Industry. D．Education.DThis month, Germany’s transport minister, Alexander Dobrindt , proposed the first set of rules for autonomous vehicles(自主驾驶车辆). They would define the driver’s role in such cars and gover n how such cars perform in crashes where lives might be lost.The proposal attempts to deal with what some call the “death valley” of autonomous vehicles: the grey area between semi-autonomous and fully driverless cars that could delay the driv erless future.Dobrindt wants three things: that a car always chooses proper ty(财产) damage over personal injury; that it never distinguishes be tween humans based on age or race; and that if a human rem oves his or her hands from the driving wheel — to check emai l, say — the car’s maker is responsible if there is a crash.“The change to the road traffic law will permit fully automatic d riving,” says Dobrindt. It will put fully driverless cars on an equ al legal footing to human drivers, he says.Who is responsible for the operation of such vehicles is not cl ear among car makers, consumers and lawyers. “The liability(法律责任) issue is the biggest one of them all,” says Natasha Merat at the University of Leeds, UK.An assumption behind UK insurance for driverless cars, introd uced earlier this year, insists that a human “ be watchful and monitoring the road” at every moment.But that is not what many people have in mind when thinkingof driverless cars. “When you say ‘driverless cars’, people exp ect driverless cars.” Merat says. “You know — no driver.” Bec ause of the confusion, Merat thinks some car makers will wait until vehicles can be fully automated without operation. Driverless cars may end up being a form of public transport ra ther than vehicles you own, says Ryan Calo at Stanford Unive rsity, California. That is happening in the UK and Singapore, where government-provided driverless vehicles are being launched.That would go down poorly in the US, however. “The idea that the government would take over driverless cars and treat the m as a public good would get absolutely nowhere here,” says Calo.12. What does the phrase “death valley” in Paragraph 2 refer t o?A. A place where cars often break down.B. A case where pa ssing a law is impossible.C. An area where no driving is permitted.D. A situation where drivers’ role is not clear.13. What do consumers think of the operation of driverless ca rs?A. It should get the attention of insurance companies.B. It should be the main concern of law makers.C. It should not cause deadly traffic accidents.D. It should involve no human responsibility.14. Driverless vehicles in public transport see no bright future in __________.A. SingaporeB. the UKC. the USD. Germany15. What could be the best title for passage?A. Autonomous Driving: Whose Liability?B. Fully Automatic Cars: A New InventionC. Autonomous Vehicles: Driver RemovedD.
