第二部分阅读理解（满分40分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

21．（6分）As self — driving cars come closer to being common on American roads, much of the rhetoric (说辞) promoting them has to do with safety. About 40,000 people die on U. S. roads every year, and driver errors are linked to more than 90 percent of crashes. But many of the biggest advocates of autonomous vehicles aren’t car companies looking to improve the safety of their existing products. Huge backing for self - driving technologies is coming from Silicon Valley giants like Google and Apple.
Those of us who have studied the relationship between technology and society tend to look more carefully at the motivations behind any technological push. In this case, it’s clear that in addition to addressing safety concerns, Silicon Valley firms have a strong incentive (动机) to create a new venue for increasing the use of their digital devices. Every minute people spend on their mobile phones provides data - and often money - to tech companies.
At present, digital devices and driving are in conflict: There are serious, often fatal, consequences when drivers use smartphones to talk or to text. Regulators and safety advocates look to resolve dial conflict by banning phone use while driving - as has happened in virtually every state. But the tech companies are taking a different approach. The obvious answer for Silicon Valley is creating an antomobile in which continuous cellphone use no longer poses a threat to anyone.
In recent years, the amount of time adults spend on their mobile devices has grown rapidly. At the moment, it’s around four hours a day for the average adult in the U. S. However, that rapid growth is likely to slow down as people run out of time that ’ s available for them to use their devices. Unless, of course, there’s a new block of time that suddenly opens up. The average American now spends about 48 minutes in a car every day, a sizable opportunity for increased cellphone use.
So as the public conversation around autonomous cars highlights the safety advantages, don’t forget the tech industry ’ s powerful desire for more profits, which goes well beyond simply saving us from ourselves.
1、Who are responsible for most traffic accidents in America?
A．Car companies. B．Tech companies.
C．Drivers. D．Self - driving cars.
2、What is Silicon Valley’s motive for promoting self - driving technologies?
A．To make more money. B．To reduce traffic accidents.
C．To limit the use of digital devices. D．To support car companies.
3、What is the present - day solution to the conflict between digital devices and driving? A．Teaching people traffic rules. B．Improving self-driving technologies. C．Fixing digital devices in cars. D．Banning phone use while driving.
4、What does the underlined phrase “a new block of time” possibly refer to?
A．The working time. B．People’s spare time.
C．The time spent in the car. D．The time spent on mobile devices.
22．（8分）Naturally, parents praise their kids. They want to encourage their children every day. But when it comes to building self-esteem (自尊) in children, praise doesn’t always have a positive effect, according to a special edition of the journal Child Development. The issue, edited by Eddie and Thomas, is focused on research into how children develop a sense of self and build ing your child’s confidence takes different skills than you might think.
Eddie points out that children are born without a sense of self, but it doesn’t take long before some kids have a lot of confidence and may feel superior to peers, while others may carry more self-doubt and see themselves as inferior. Yet no one really understands what causes children to view themselves the way they do. Surprisingly little is known about the origins of children’s self-concept,” Eddie said.
Research has found that when kids have a warm, loving relationship with their parents, they develop higher self-esteem. However, when they are given endless praise that is inequal to their achievements, their self-esteem may drop.
Instead of lavish praise, parents should focus on warmth to build self-esteem, researchers have found—specifically, parents should show interest in their kids’ activities and share joy with them. This makes children feel noticed and valued. According to Eddie’s own research, children may develop lower self-esteem when their parents give them lots of positive and overstated praises. Too much praise can make children worry about disappointing their parents, and may lead to an unhealthy attitude toward failure. Other studies suggest that parents can teach children that failure is beneficial by encouraging kids to ask themselves: “Why didn’t I achieve the result I wanted, and what can I do to change the outcome in the future?”
Additionally, it’s important for parents to encourage the belief that kids can
develop basic abilities through devotion and hard work. Kids who are praised for their effort instead of their ability are more likely to develop a growth mindset, which have a positive impact on their confidence.
1、What does the special edition of Child Development focus on?
A．When is the best time to build a child’s self-esteem.
B．What effect praise has on a child’s self understanding.
C．How children develop their sense of self-esteem.
D．How blaming and overpraise hurt a child’s comfidence.
2、How does too much prai se hurt children’s self-esteem?
A．They’ll be afraid of failing and disappointing their parents.
B．They’ll have a false understanding of their ability and fail.
C．They’ll become too proud to get along with other children.
D．They’ll focus more on their advan tages than their weaknesses.
3、What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A．Children’s effort will help build their confidence.
B．Children should he taught the value of hard work.
C．Praising a child’s ability will make them happier.
D．Some parents doubt if kids can develop their abilities.
4、Which of the following is the passage mainly about?
A．Praising a child for any reason helps build his self-esteem.
B．How kids develop their sense of self-esteem differently.
C．Why some kids have more self-doubt than the others.
D．Participation and encouragement build a kid’s self-esteem.
23．（8分）“Cleverness is a gift while kindness is a choice. Gifts are easy - they re given after all. Choices can be hard."
-Jeff Bezos.
I got the idea to start Amazon 16 years ago. I came across the fact that the Internet usage was growing at 2,300 percent per year. I'd never seen or heard of anything that grew that fast, and the idea of building an online bookstore with millions of titles was very exciting to me. I had just turned 30 years old, and I'd been married for a year. I told my life MacKenzie that I wanted to quit my job and go to do this crazy thing that probably wouldn't work since most start-ups don't, and I wasn't sure what to expect.
MacKenzie told me I should go for it. A s a young boy, I’d been a garage inventor. I'd always wanted to be an inventor, and she wanted me to follow my passion.
I was working at a financial firm in New York City with a bunch of very smart people, and I had a brilliant boss that I admired very much. I went to my boss and told him I wanted to start a company selling books on the Internet. He took me on a long walk in Central Park, listened carefully to me, and finally said. “That sounds like a really good idea, but it would be an even better idea for someone who didn't already have a good job." That logic made some sense to me, and he convinced me to think about it for 48 hours before making a final decision. Seen in that light, it really was a difficult choice, but eventually, I decided I had to give it a shot. I didn't think I'd regret trying and failing. And I suspected I would always be haunted by a decision not to try at all.
After much consideration, I took the less safe path to follow my passion, and I’m proud of that choice. For all of us, in the end, we are our choices.
1、What inspired the author with the idea of building an online bookstore?
A．His dream of being an inventor. B．The support of his wife.
C．The greatly increasing usage of the Internet. D．Millions of exciting titles.
2、Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined sentence?
A．The idea of not trying would keep coming to his mind and disturb him.
B．He would be very excited if he tried it out.
C．He would be always having a doubt if he didn't try.
D．The decision not to the online bookstore would terrify him.
3、We can know from the passage that .
A．the boss thought the idea was suitable for the author
B．the author wanted someone else to try the idea
C．the author might not regret if he failed the idea
D．the author might go back to his boss if he failed
4、Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A．Cleverness and Kindness B．The Starting of Amazon C．Following My Passion D．We Are What We Choose 24．（8分）BillieHarries was an American fighter pilot who fought to liberate France from the Nazis. He was shot down and killed in July of 1944 over Nazi-occupied
northern France. Due to a series of miscommunications, that information never got back to his wife Peggy. As far as she knew, Bill was just missing. She waited, she said, “All of my life.”
Peggy might never have known the true story if a relative hadn’t looked into his military records a few years ago. She finally got her local congressman（议员）to reopen his case in 2011. She was shocked to learn that in the town of Les Ventes, the main road is actually called Place Billie D．Harris. It’s the same road townspeople have been marching down three times a year for decades to honor his sacrifice. Billie was able to maintain control of the plane, despite his condition, and avoid the village, 91-year-old Guy Surleau, the only witness still living, said. He got choked up just mentioning Bill’s name.
At first the town buried Billie in their local graveyard（墓地）and covered his grave with flowers. After his body was moved to the American graveyard at Normandy, the town continued to take flowers to his grave, assuming he had no living relatives to do so.
Since learning all of this, Peggy has been making an annual pilgrimage（朝拜）to France. She visits the nearby woods where the plane went down, accompanied by Surleau. “I like to think that he was still conscious enough to know that a friend stood by him,” Peggy said, standing beside Surleau in the forest. “And this man is that friend.”
1、What made Peggy unaware of Billie’s death for decades?
A．No accurate news sent to her. B．Letters for her sent to wrong address. C．Wrong decision made by her relative. D．No postal service during World War II.
2、Why have the townspeople been marching the main road for decades?
A．To observe the local custom. B．To show respect to the hero.
C．To respond to a building project. D．To celebrate the victory of the war. 3、How did Surleau f eel when he told Billie’s story?
A．Rather ashamed. B．Quite encouraged.
C．Deeply touched D．Greatly surprised
4、What can we learn about Peggy?
A．She was interested in sightseeing. B．She remained devoted to her husband. C．She wished Surleau to accompany Billie. D．She judged her late husband still
conscious.

29、Dear my teachers,
With the Entrance Examination for College approaching, I really hope to have a heart-to-heart talk with you! During the years, I always feel grateful for your unselfish care and love. Thanks to your constant encouragement, I have been making remarkable progress in my studies.
Since it will be less than twenty days before the exam, I'm under great pressure now.
I would appreciate it if you can have a frequent talk with me and provide me with
timely help, which contributes to my staying in a good state. I am fully aware of the responsibilities I am shouldering. I have made up my mind to make every effort to study, for I believe hard work is the key to success. Just as the saying goes, "no pains, no gains." Meanwhile, I will spare some time to participate in sports activities, aiming to build up my body and free myself from the heavy work of studies.
Dear teachers, I am quite confident about my coming future. Wish you good health and a happy life.
Yours sincerely,
Li Xia。
