How to be a safe and smart searcher

Several keywords will help to find better results.

Use more than one keyword when you are doing a search. If you want to find out about seagulls, for example, search for “bird seagull” and not just “seagull” -- because seagull might also be the name of just about anything else, from a hotel to a documentary film.

Exact reference can help you find what you’re looking for.

If you are looking for an exact phrase or sentence, e.g. “seagulls are very clever”, type it between inverted commas (“”) and only exact matches will be shown. This is useful when you want to find something you’ve already seen but lost.

Avoid common words like “a” or “the” in a search. These aren’t always helpful and are usually unnecessary.

Remove unwanted results by adding a minus symbol (-). For example, “Seagull-hotel-film” would leave out all references to hotels and films.

Check your spelling.

Make sure that you spell every word in the search box correctly. The smallest typing mistakes can bring unwanted results -- especially when the mistyped word exists.

Have a filter.

It’s a good idea to filter(过滤) your online searchers, especially when you are searching for pictures. Ask an adult to help you add a filtering system. There are lots of filtering software options available.

Experiment with different search engines until you find the one that’s best for you. Some search engines personalize the results, so check out the option of using a search engine that doesn’t do this and you will get different results.

Reliability is very important when you search on the Internet.

Always ask yourself, “Is this reliable?” Don’t make the mistake of believing everything you see. Some websites are unreliable and some information is false. Check your information on other websites before accepting it.

26．Which of the following things should you do as a smart searcher?

a. Use only one keyword in a single search.

b. Avoid terms like “a” or “the” in a search.

c. Choose your search engine carefully.

d. Pay no attention to small spelling mistakes.

e. Compare information from different sites.

A．abc B．ace C．bcd D．bce

27．According to the passage, the minus symbol       .

A．can make search results more exactly B．is equal to inverted commas in a search

C．is likely to give you a long list of results D．is usually considered unnecessary in a search

28．From the passage, we know that a filtering system       .

A．is used to tick out false information on a website

B．is especially important while searching for pictures

C．personalizes your results when you are doing a search

D．is useful to find something you’ve already seen but lost

It seems food deliverymen (送货员) are always in a hurry. They wear blue, red or yellow helmets and many of them don’t follow traffic rules. They drive on the wrong side of the road and run red lights. They use mobile phones while driving. These reckless (鲁莽的) behaviors have caught the public’s attention.

In the first half of 2017, food deliverymen had 76 traffic accidents in Shanghai, according to Shanghai Public Security Bureau. That means every two and a half days, a food deliveryman will die or get hurt on the road.

What makes deliverymen take such risks? The strict rules of the food delivery service companies and the anxious (焦急的) customers may be the answer.

Many companies will fine a deliveryman up to 2,000 yuan, if he fails to deliver an order on time, reported China Daily. Fines also go to those who get bad reviews from customers.

To solve the problem, food delivery service companies need to improve their incentive systems (激励制度), noted CRI Online.

Some cities are also taking action. Shanghai has asked companies to train their deliverymen on traffic rules and safety. Now in Shenzhen, if a deliveryman gets caught breaking traffic rules more than twice, then he will be banned from driving food service delivery vehicles (交通工具) for a whole year .

29．How many traffic accidents did food deliverymen in Shanghai cause in the first half of 2017?

A．76. B．38. C．152. D．2, 000.

30．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

A．It’s a pity that all food deliverymen don’t follow traffic rules.

B．If a deliveryman can’t deliver an order on time, he will be fined up to 200 yuan.

C．It matters a lot to a deliveryman if he gets bad reviews from customers.

D．The deliveryman isn’t allowed to send food for a whole year if he breaks traffic rules more than twice.

31．What is the main idea of the last paragraph?

A．Companies are improving their review systems.

B．Some cities are working to improve the situation.

C．To drive safely, food deliverymen will obey more traffic rules.

D．Food deliverymen cannot drive on important roads in the future.

On the last evening of my mom’s most recent trip to visit me in London, she sat across the table peeling pomegranate(石榴) seeds into a big bowl.

“Eat   this   tomorrow   after   I’m   gone,   you   lazy   bee,”   she   teased, dismissing the piles of books, clothes and electronics across the table waiting to be packed into her luggage.

Mom knows me too well: pomegranate seeds are my favorite. They never appear on my food schedule though, as I lack the patience to peel them properly. Mom doesn’t have the patience either, except when it comes to feeding me.

Her hands moved gently and swiftly, while her eyes looked carefully at the small watery little seeds, attentively trying not to crush(压碎) them.

When I woke up the next day and opened the fridge. Sure enough, waiting for me was a clear jar of perfect smooth and shiny pomegranate seeds.

Ever since I left home to study in London ten years ago, food has been a big part of mom’s London visits.

With each trip, she would be sure to fill the entire fridge with hand-made dumplings, rice cakes, rice puddings, sesame filled sweet dumplings and many other sweets I struggle to find English translations for.

I love watching her turn the loose white flour into moon-shaped dumplings magically, and place them neatly into a tray.

Whenever it’s time to say goodbye, mom would never say that she misses me, or that she loves me. Instead, she’ll just say: “don’t starve yourself while I’m not with you”. That’s because she belongs to a generation where food is an expression of love. At that time, her favorite after-school activity was visiting an old granny, who would feed her rice mixed with sesame oil. “Mmm… that’s the best food we could hope for back then,” she would say.

In her generation, people would greet each other saying “Have you eaten?” We don’t do that in China anymore, but I still look forward to the tradition of my whole family gathering together to prepare food across a big kitchen table at special occasions, such as the Chinese New Year. Such sweet childhood memories have stayed with me.

It’s funny that living in the super health-conscious city of London has taught me to think about food in terms of calories and carb content. Well, mom’s home-made dumplings don’t have any food labels. No calorie calculation, no fat percentages, nothing on the package telling me to eat my “five a day”. Instead, every bite of mom’s food tastes of love, and of the feeling of home.

32．Mum peeled pomegranate seeds on the last evening because             .

A．she was good at peeling fruit B．she loved me -- her daughter

C．they were her own favourite fruit D．I was too lazy to peel them for her

33．Each time my mom came to London, she would             .

A．buy different kinds of fruit for me B．make traditional British food for me

C．make traditional Chinese food for me D．fill the kitchen with all kinds of things

34．According to the passage, people of my mother’s generation greet each other by             .

A．saying “Have you eaten?” B．making home-made dumplings

C．visiting an old granny with food D．sharing food like cakes and puddings

35．Which of the following is most likely to be the title?

A．A Chinese mom’s favourite food B．Food that a Chinese mom can make

C．The healthiest food in the world D．Food -- a cheerful way to show love

Driverless cars are coming. Such cars will make getting from one place to another safer and less stressful. They also could reduce pollution. But how should driverless cars deal with emergencies (紧急情况)? People disagree on the answer. And that might put the brakes (刹车)on this technology, a new study concludes.

To understand the challenge, imagine a car that suddenly meets some walkers in the road. Even with braking, it’s too late to avoid a crash. So the car’s artificial intelligence (人工智能)must decide whether to swerve (急转弯). To save the walkers, should the car swerve off the road or swerve into busy traffic? What if such choices would likely kill the car’s passengers?

Researchers used online surveys to study people’s attitudes about such situations with driverless cars. People mostly agreed that driverless cars should be designed to protect the most people. But there is a problem. Those same surveyed people also want to protect passengers at all costs—even if the walkers would now end up dying.

“Driverless cars can completely change transportation”, says Iyad Rahwan. But, he adds, this new technology creates a moral problem that could slow its acceptance.

Makers of driverless cars are in a hard situation, Bonnefbn’s group warns. Most buyers would want their cars to be designed to protect themselves first. However, rules might one day instruct that cars must act for the greater good. That would mean saving the most people. But the scientists think rules like this could drive away buyers.

The expert Kurt Gray thinks that even if all driverless cars are designed to protect their passengers in emergencies, traffic accidents will decrease. Those cars might be dangerous to walkers on rare occasions. But they won’t speed, won’t drive drunk while driving, which would be a win for society.

36．The underlined word “challenge” in Paragraph 2 refers to ________.

A．people’s negative attitudes towards driverless cars

B．how driverless cars reduce traffic accidents

C．the technical problems that driverless cars have

D．how driverless cars deal with emergencies

37．According to the text, online surveys show that ________.

A．driverless cars artificial intelligence needs improvement

B．the busy traffic may be a problem for driverless cars

C．people have a moral problem about driverless cars

D．driverless cars should be designed to protect drivers

38．What can we learn from Paragraph 5?

A．Rules are in support of drivers.

B．Most people dislike driverless cars now.

C．Driverless car makers are in a hard situation.

D．The benefits of driverless cars are introduced.

39．What is Kurt Gray’s attitude toward driverless cars?

A．Favorable. B．Doubtful. C．Surprised. D．Scared.
