The technology is known as V-to-I. Drivers will see a countdown on the car’s instrument panel (仪表板) to show when the traffic signal will turn green or red. The equipment was included on Audi’s Q7, A4 and A4 “Allroad” models built after June 1, 2016.The service began in 2016 in at least five “smart”American cities. The information comes from government agencies that collect data to predict traffic flow. A private company partners with government officials to send the data to cars.The countdown message goes away a few seconds before the light changes for safety. Pom Malhotra is the general manager of Audi’s connected cars division. He said the system was designed to provide drivers with a sense of ease and convenience. “A better informed driver means a less stressed driver,” an announcer said in an Audi video explaining the technology.The company said the idea was to let drivers know exactly the time left before a signal changes. It suggested they use the time to make sure other passengers are fine or monitor car operations.The technology raises the possibility that some drivers may use the vehicle’s countdown to talk on the telephone or send text messages. But Audi said it would never tell drivers to text while driving -- an activity that is illegal in almost all 50 states.The goal was to integrate traffic infrastructure (基础设施) with cars on many city roads. This would let traffic signals use the vehicle data to regulate traffic, suggest better driving paths, or suggest speeds needed to hit all green lights.4.What function does the new technology add to the car?A.Reminding drivers to monitor car operations.B.Preventing drivers phoning when driving.C.Providing information on traffic signals.D.Reporting traffic flow to government officials.5.Why does the countdown message disappear before the light changes?A.To avoid misleading drivers.B. To help drivers hit green lights.C. To provide the newest information.D. To make sure drivers focus on driving.6. How does the new system benefit drivers?A. Making driving safe.B. Making driving fun.C. Making drivers relaxed when driving.D. Making drivers have more spare time.7. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “integrate” in the last paragraph?A. Combine.B. Compare.C. Equip.D. Replace.C“Shake a leg” and “show a leg” are usually discussed together, but it isn’t at all clear how they areconnected. Both phrases have more than one meaning.“Shake a leg”means “hurry up”according to the definition in the New York Magazine in 1904. Before that, “shake a leg” had another meaning, which was “to dance”. There are several quotations from all kinds of American and British sources from the mid-19th century that are related to dancing. For example, the Dubuque Democratic Herald, October 1863, in an advertisement for a local ball: “Nearly every man in town able to shake a leg has purchased a ticket.”“Show a leg” means either “make an appearance”, or it means “hurry up”. The second meaning isn’t commonly used, nor is it old. Whatever the source, it isn’t the original meaning of “show a leg”. Most commentators report that the phrase derives from the Royal Navy and that this was the order given to sailors to put a foot from their hammocks (吊床) and get up.The use of “show a leg” as a wake-up call is well documented. John Masefield (Poet Laureate from 1930 to 1967) was a trainee mariner on HMS Conway until 1891. He reported the full version of the morning call as: “Heave out, heave out, heave out, heave out! Away! Come all you sleepers, Hey! Show a leg.” That’s the earliest quotation of the naval call I can find, although it may have been used well before 1891.An alternative version comes from the fact that women were allowed on board Royal Navy ships in the 19th century and that they were allowed to stay asleep after the sailors had been woken. In the morning the bosun’s mates (水手长助手) had to check whoever was still asleep and did so by requiring them to show a leg over the side of the hammock. If a leg was hairy, it was probably male and its owner was ordered to get up and begin work. Believe that if you will; personally, I don’t.All in all, although both of the two English slangs are sometimes used to mean “hurry up”, they are two independent phrases that were coined with different meanings.8. How many ways does the slang “show a leg” come from?A. 1.B. 2.C. 3.D. 4.9. In which sentence does “shake a leg” have a different meaning?A. I will shake a leg with him at the next ball with great pleasure.B. Nearly every man in town able to shake a leg has purchased a ticket.C. They wanted to shake a leg on a TV show.D. You must shake a leg to catch the last bus.10. What is the author’s attitude to the version mentioned in Paragraph 5?A. Doubtful.B. Supportive.C. Indifferent.D. Neutral.11. What is the author’s purpose of writing the text?A. To persuade readers to learn slangs seriously.B. To describe “shake a leg” and “show a leg”.C. To distinguish “shake a leg” and “show a leg”.D. To remark on “shake a leg” and “show a leg”.DAbout a month after I joined Facebook, I got a call from Lori Goler, a highly regarded senior director of marketing at eBay. She made it clear that this was a business call. “I want to apply to work with you at Facebook,” she said. “Instead of recommending myself, I want to ask you: What is your biggest problem, and how can I solve it?”My jaw hit the floor. I had hired thousands of people over the previous decade and no one had ever said anything remotely like that. People usually focus on finding the right role for themselves, with the implication that their skills will help the company. Lori put Facebook’s needs front and center. It was a killer approach. I responded, “Recruiting is my biggest problem. And, yes, you can solve it.”Lori never dreamed she would work in recruiting, but she jumped in. She even agreed to trade earnings for acquiring new skills in a new field. Lori did a great job running recruiting and within months was promoted to her current job, leading People@Facebook.The most common metaphor for careers is a ladder, but this concept no longer applies to most workers. As of 2010, the average American had eleven jobs from the ages of eighteen to forty-six alone. Lori often quotes Pattie Sellers, who came up with a much better metaphor: “Careers are a jungle gym, not a ladder.”As Lori describes it, there’s only one way to get to the top of a ladder, but there are many ways to get to the top of a jungle gym. The jungle gym model benefits everyone, but especially women who might be starting careers, switching careers, getting blocked by external barriers, or reentering the workforce after taking time off. The ability to create a unique path with occasional dips, detours (弯路), and even dead ends presents great views of many people, not just those at the top. On a ladder, most climbers are stuck staring at the butt of the person above.12.Why did Lori make the call?A.She helped Facebook to solve the biggest problem.B.She wanted to make a business deal with Facebook.C.She tried to ask for a pay rise in Facebook.D.She wanted to become an employee in Facebook.13.What impressed “me” most?A.Lori was good at running recruiting.B.Lori attached great importance to Facebook’s needs.C.Lori jumped in Facebook with no adequate experience.D.Lori was skilled in marketing at eBay.14.What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?A.Now all people don’t tend to climb the ladder.B.None on the ladder can enjoy the great views.C.Jungle gyms offer limited exploration for employees.D.A pregnant woman, jobless, benefits little from the jungle gyms.15.What is the best title of the passage?A.How to get promoted at work.B. Facebook’s Biggest Problem.C. Applying for a Job in Facebook.D. It’s a Jungle Gym, not a Ladder.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，选项中有两项为多余选项。
