21．（6分）It was rush hour on the morning of June 1 in the West Texas city of San Angelo. Heather Santellano, 36, was driving her white 2012 Mazda on Houston、Harte Frontage Road with her nine-year-old daughter and
ten-year- old son in the back. Suddenly, a red pickup truck cut them off. Santellano turned the wheel hard to the right, sending the Mazda skidding off the road and down an embankment(堤)that ended in a drop-off after about 50 feet. If
the car didn't stop, it would go airborne and plunge onto the road some 20 feet below.
Then a bit of luck: As the car raced toward the edge, its undercarriage got stuck on the cement lip of the embankment ledge, stopping it cold. The occupants, however, were far from safe. The car had come to rest on top of a retaining wall, literally teetering(摇摇欲坠)on the edge of disaster. One sudden move by anyone inside could send it over.
Jacob Rodriguez watched the scene unfold from the 'T'ruck Repair Plant where he works. Then he and four other men ran to the car. They leaped onto the trunk to balance the weight as the terrified kids in the back seat watched.
Meanwhile, Julio Vasquez and his nephew, Marco Vasquez, were driving to their jabs at nearby Premier Automotive. Julio jumped out of the car to help while Marco went to the shop, grabbed a heavy-duty strap(皮带)，and returned to the swinging car. He fastened the Mazda to an P-350 truck that had been driven over by one of the other rescuers. With the car secured, the group carefully opened the back doors and helped the children out.
But their departure shifted the car's weight, causing it to lean forward. The men, still on-the trunk, asked Santellano to jump into the back seat to rebalance the weight. She did and then inched out the back door. Finally, the men carefully got off the trunk. Everyone was safe.
1、What do we know about Heather Santellano?
A．She was a careless driver. B．She drove her twins to school.
C．She ran into a pickup truck. D．She made a sharp turn to avoid the truck.
2、What does the author intend to do in paragraph 2?

C．Add some background information. D．Explain why people came to the rescue.

4、Which of the following statements is consistent with the theme of the passage?
A．Persistence will pay off. . B．One in trouble, all to help.、

22．（8分）Can you trust your very first childhood memories? Maybe not, a new study suggests.
Past researches show that people's earliest memories typically form around 3 to 3. 5 years of age. But in a recent survey of more than 6,600 people, British scientists have found that 39 percent of participants claimed to have memories from age 2 or younger. These first memories are likely false, the researchers said. This was particularly the case for middle -aged and older adults.
For the study, researchers asked participants to describe their first memory and the age at which it occurred.
Participants were told they had to be sure the memory was the one that had happened. For example, it shouldn't be based on a photograph, a family story or any source other than direct experiences. Then the researchers examined the content, language and descriptive details of these earliest memories and worked out the likely reasons why people would claim to have memories from an age when memories cannot form.
As many of these memories dated before the age of 2, this suggests they were not based on actual facts, but facts or knowledge about their babyhood or childhood from photographs or family stories. Often these false memories are fired by a part of an early experience, such as family relationships or feeling sad, the researchers explained.
"We suggest that what a rememberer has in mind when recalling fictional early memories is …a mental representation consisting of remembered pieces of early experiences and some facts or knowledge about their own babyhood or childhood, " study author Shania Kantar said in a journal news release, "Additionally, further details may be unconsciously inferred or added. Such memory-like mental representations come~ over time, to be collectively experienced when they come to mind, so for the individual, they quite simply are memories, which particularly point to babyhood. "
"Importantly, the person remembering them doesn't know this is fictional," study co-author Martin Conway said "In fact, when people are told that their memories are false they often don't believe it. "
1、What can we learn from a recent study?
A．Memories form after the age of 3. B．Participants are good at telling stories
C．Adults are likely to form false memories D．Earliest memories may play a trick on us
2、Which source did the researchers require for the earliest memories?
A．A direct experience. B．A family story.
C．A family photo. D．A sad feeling.
3、What are these fictional early memories according to Kantar?
A．They are repeated mental representations.
B．They are a collection of early experiences.
C．They are a combination of both facts and fictions.
D．They are further details of remembered experiences.
4、Which part of a newspaper is this text probably taken from?
A．Society. B．Psychology. C．Technology. D．Health.

24．（8分）At seventy-three, Marcia Pollock’s father was a man of great independenc e and pride. The kids called him “Poppy”, a name that everybody used.
Poppy lived in his old neighborhood and he had a part-time job at a local pharmacy（药房）. After Marcia’s mother died, Poppy firmly refused Marcia and Jack’s invitation to come and live wit h them. He was stubborn about not crowding their little house, about not becoming a burden.
In fact, he was always helpful. The kids loved him because he listened to them and because he always brought them something. He also brought special gifts to Marcia and Jack, never arriving empty-handed.
And so it was with shock and bewilderment（迷惑）that Marcia went to see Poppy in the hospital that summer after he had fallen down in the street. The doctor said that Poppy had been living on coffee and doughnuts. Later that day, the pharmacist told Marcia, “He has practically no money at all—just the government cheque and what little he makes here.
Yet I myself saw him spend most of his last cheque on your little boy’s bicycle.”
She became stern with Poppy.“Y ou’re foolish, Poppy,” she said. “I have my pride,” Poppy answered. “False pride,” she hurled（斥责）back at him.
During autumn, Poppy didn’t come around as often as he had in the past, but when he did, he would still arrive with little gifts in hand. Then, just before t he holidays, Poppy told Marcia that he couldn’t visit them on Christmas Day because he would watch the store, but Marcia knew the shop was not open on Christmas.
She felt worried and called Poppy, telling him that he was one of them and that they all loved him. Half an hour before the turkey went on the table on Christmas, Poppy came. The kids rushed to him and gave him more hugs and kisses than he had ever had before. Poppy held out his arms to Marcia, and his hands were empty — yet never had they been more filled.
1、Which is Poppy’s reason for not living with his daughter?
A．He had a part-time job. B．He was stubborn sometimes.
C．He liked living independently. D．He didn’t want to become a burden to her .
2、Why was Marcia puzzled after hearing the doctor’s w ords?
A．She didn’t know who had knocked Poppy down.
B．She thought Poppy had enough money for living.
C．She wondered how to take care of him later.
D．She thought the doctor didn’t know his living condition.
3、Which is closest in meaning to the underlined wo rd “stern” in paragraph 5?
A．patient B．angry
C．respectful D．afraid.
4、Why does the author say that Poppy’s hands were filled at last?
A．Poppy learned that he was loved.
B．Poppy had brought enough gifts before.
C．Poppy still held his independence and pride.
D．Poppy had found reasons for Marcia’s rudeness.
（10分）Most Americans are worried about new technology. They are concerned that machines, including robots, 25．
will take over work now done by humans. These findings come from a new report by the Pew Research Center of Washington D．C．
About 75 percent of Americans questioned by Pew said automation will increase income inequality between the rich and the middle class and poor. And 64 percent of people expect automation to be so common in America that people will
face difficulty finding things to do with their lives.
Some of the concerns about technology come from a distrust about whether machines will always make the right decision. Many Americans believe humans have better judgement in dealing with. complex matters. One example is selecting a person for a job. Three-quarters of Americans said they would not want to apply for a job that uses a computer program to choose the most qualified person.
“Most Americans want the government to limit automation. For exampl e, 87 percent support a requirement that all driverless vehicles have a human in the driver’s seat who can take control when an emergency occurs. And 85 percent want to limit machines to mostly doing jobs that are dangerous or unhealthy for humans. And only 25 percent expect more jobs to come from automation,” Pew said.
Mark Zuckerberg, the co-founder of Facebook, spoke last May to graduating seniors from Harvard University in Massachusetts. His talk centered on the uncertain future facing young people. “Ou r generation will have to deal with tens of millions of jobs replaced by automation like self-driving cars and trucks.” Zuckerherg told the graduates.
Zuckerberg said young people had better launch(发起)projects that will bring both jobs and direct benefits to the people of the world. He said in his speech that 30000 people worked to put a man on the moon, and millions of people built the Hoover Dam as well as other great projects over the last 100 years.
1、What do many Americans think of technology according to paragraph 3?
A．Useful.
B．Effective.
C．Dangerous.
D．Undependable.
2、Why do Americans want a human in driverless vehicles?
A．To test the new technology.
B．To make a driver.
C．To ensure personal safety.
D．To entertain the passengers.
3、W hat did Zuckerberg encourage the students to do?
A．Refuse self-driving vehicles.
B．Create new job chances.
C．Focus on small projects.
D．Fight against robots.
4、Which of the following would be the best title for the text?
A．New Technology Creates More Jobs
B．New Technology Brings More Fairness
C．Americans Worry Machines Will Take Jobs
D．Robots Make Work Easy to Do for Workers

I left home at 17 and pay my own way through college. In the past 20 years, I have worked for everything I needed. So it shocks me what some people in their 20s, still get their life supported by our parents. Some of these parents have difficult supporting their families.
It’s true that the job market is much mo re harder these days. Therefore, there are certainly some ways to make living on our own. Even if our parents is nice enough to pay for our college, we shouldn’t burden them with our problems. We should be financial responsible adults, made our parents proud of us.
