Helen Fraser, director of the Girls Day School Trust (GDST), will tell the group that sport can help girls cope with failure. “All girls and not just the sporty ones should take physical exercise”, Ms Fraser will say. Research that girls are far less active than boys is worrying, she argues. Ms Fraser will tell the group that she backs “sport for all”. “That’s why I love it when our schools have A, B, C and D teams and beyond”, she will say.The GDST draws on research from the Women’s Sport and Fitness Foundation which suggests only a quarter of girls in England meet basic levels(水平)of activity each week. One in five girls do no activity at all, twice the proportion (比例)of boys, the research suggests.Ms Fraser says other research suggests that more than 80% of women business leaders played sports while growing up. She uses the examples of US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, once a skater and tennis player, while the head of the International Monetary Fund, Christine Lagarde, was in the French national swimming team. Ms Fraser says Olympic medallists like Jessica Ennis, Katherine Grainger and Nicola Adams are excellent role models for young women but says women’s sport needs more money and more news reports.Valerie Dunsford, head of Sheffield High School, part of GDST, said it was important to offer a large number of sports to attract different types of girls. “Not everyone wants to be out playing the hockey (曲棍球)”, said Ms Dunsford.21．Which of the following ideas would Ms Fraser agree with?A. Those taking part in the sport are always failures.B. More should be done to make girls do sports.C. Girls are less confident than boys.D. Boys are born to be sport lovers.22．What’s the proportion of boys who never take exercise?A. 1/10.B. 1/4.C. 1/5.D. 2/5.23．Ms Fraser mentions those famous women to show ________A. hard work will pay off.B. it’s not easy to be great.C. sport can help girls to succeed.D. it’s necessary to balance work and sport.24．What’s the purpose of the text?A. To explain the key to success.B. To show the importance of sport.C. To introduce more games to girls.D. To encourage more girls to do sports.Imagine a town with crosswalks but no pedestrians, cars and trucks but no drivers. Welcome to Mcity, a fake “city” built by researchers who are testing out the driverless cars of the future.The controlled test environment, which opened today (July 20, 2015) at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, covers 32 acres (the size of about 24 football fields) and contains all the trappings of a real suburb or small city. There is an entire network of roads lined with sidewalks, streetlights, stop signs and traffic signals. There’s even a “downtown” area complete with fake buildings and outdoor dining areas. The idea behind Mcity is simple: test out new driverless car innovations in a human-free environment before these technologies are unleashed in the real world. "Mcity is a safe, controlled, and realistic environment where we are going to figure out how the incredible potential of connected and automated vehicles can be realized quickly, efficiently and safely," Peter Sweatman, director of the MobilityTransformation Center at U-M, said in a statement.The roads of Mcity are built to stand up to “rigorous, repeatable” testing, according to MTC officials. While Mcity drivers don't have to compete with real pedestrians, there will be one mechanical foot-traveler (a robot-like machine named Sebastian) that steps out into traffic to see whether the automated cars can hit the brakes in time. The fake city also features a traffic circle, a bridge, a tunnel, some unpaved roads, and even a four-lane highway with entrance and exit ramps, according to a report by Bloomberg Business.In addition to evaluating fully automated, or driverless cars, the researchers also hope to test out so-called connected vehicles within Mcity’s limits. Connected cars can either communicate with one another (vehicle-to-vehicle control, or V2V) or with pieces of equipment, such as traffic lights, that are located near roadways (vehicle-to-infrastructure control, or V2I).Even the smallest details of Mcity have been planned out in advance to copy the conditions that connected and automated vehicles could face in the real world. For example, there are street signs covered up with graffiti, and faded yellow and white lane markings line the streets.Mcity is just one part of a much larger project that MTC and its partner organizations are establishing in an effort to get a whole fleet of connected and driverless cars on the road in Ann Arbor by 2021. In addition to the fake city, MTC is also continuing to launch connected and semi-autonomous(半自动) cars on real roadways. Eventually, the University of Michigan and the Michigan Department of Transportation said they hope to put 20,000 connected cars on the roads of southern Michigan. 25．According to the passage, Mcity ________.A. is a real town used to evaluate the function of future carsB. is a fake city with transportation system but no pedestriansC. covers an area of 32 acres with as many as 24 football fieldsD. owns a downtown area with a bridge and some unpaved roads26．Why did researchers build Mcity?A. To test new driverless cars.B. To make a real suburb or small city.C. To control road environment.D. To build an entire network of roads.27．It can be inferred from the passage that ________.A. some connected and semi-autonomous cars have been put into useB. the researchers plans to create a robot-like machine to direct the trafficC. the widespread use of driverless cars will soon come into reality in AmericaD. MTC is attempting to make connected and driverless cars available on real roads 28．How does the passage mainly develop?A. By presenting descriptions of the design.B. By describing a cause and its effects.C. By providing the time order.D. By comparing the opinions.“Dear Daddy” NotesMy father was the gentlest, most loving and caring dad in the world—until we had an argument. During those moments, he transformed into a stubborn man who never considered that there could be a side other than his own. My words surely never reached his “open mind” because his ears were closed. There was no point trying to argue with my dad. He always had the last word. I could never win.When my father refused to understand that I needed the privacy of a phone in my room, my frustration turned to tears. When he sensed that I was gaining the upper hand in defending my case for wearing lip gloss to school in junior high, he ended our “discussion”, leaving me sil ently defeated and miserable. So when he refused to change his idea about letting me go on my senior class trip to Montreal, I could do nothing but race from his room in despair. If I couldn’t get him to listen to my side of our arguments, maybe I could get him to read it.With the hope that his eyes would be more open than his ears, I began to plead(抗辩) my case in a note that began “Dear Daddy” and ended with how much I respected his opinion, how much I hated to fight with him and how much I valued our relationshipand, above all, how much I loved him. I folded my note into an envelope, slid it under the door of his bedroom and raced back to my own room.It was only minutes before I heard a knock at my door. When I saw the look on my father’s face, I knew that my note had melted his temper, softened his stubbornness and touched his heart.The victory of winning my dad’s permission to go to Montreal was sweet. But even sweeter was the discovery of a strategy that enabled me to have an argument with my dad tha t didn’t end in tears, but instead with a hug. My “Dear Daddy” notes became a follow-up to many of our confrontations(对抗). During our most emotional arguments, when his unyielding final word drove me to tears, when his “I’m your father, that’s why!” left m e speechless, I knew just how to get through to him.Years later, when my father died, his memory lived on through the many stories about him that friends and family continued to share. One of my favorites was the “Dear Daddy” notes. It always made me smil e to remember some of our most passionate arguments and how my dad would become so pig-headed, until he read my notes. He surely must have seen through my calculating strategy, but he never let on; he enjoyed every note that turned him to see my way.29．What did the author think about her father during an argument?A. Gentle.B. Stubborn.C. Aggressive.D. Open-minded.30．The “Dear Daddy” notes could help the author ________.A. avoid meeting her fatherB. stop the argument with easeC. deliver her meassage more quicklyD. make her father understand her 31．After he died, the author’s father impressed her most with his ________.A. generous loveB. pig-headed decisionC. patient companyD. heated discussion三、完形填空Once upon a time, there was a poor man.
