My eighteen-year-old daughter Julia called twenty minutes after she left, saying she had an accident. I grabbed my shoes and was in the car in less than a minute. When I finally saw her, I hugged her tightly. Then I looked at the other driver. Learning that he fell asleep behind the wheel at about seventy miles an hour when the speed limit was forty-five, I could have choked him.
“It could have been worse,” I reminded myself as she cried all the way to the doctor's office. Luckily, four days after the accident, Julia felt better. At her appointment, her doctor cleared her to resume normal activities, including driving. But I could tell by her look that she had no intention of getting behind the wheel.
Later that day, I sat with Julia as she spoke on the phone with our insurance agent. On the phone, she was professional, telling the agent what had happened in a clear, brief way. I realized she sounded like an adult. And adults drive cars. I realized that no matter how I felt about it, allowing Julia to give in to her fear wasn't good for her. When she hung up, I hugged her. “You're stronger than you think,” I said. “And tomorrow you're going to drive my car and meet your friends for lunch. You just have to push through the fear and do it, and it will get easier each time you do.” I ignored the fear in her eyes and the way my heart sped up when I thought about Julia behind the wheel again.
The next day, Julia drove my car to meet her friends. As I watched her leave, I felt nervous and proud. She texted me when she got to the restaurant, and I felt my heart rate return to normal. The tears I'd been holding back all week flooded my eyes. Watching her leave the house without me for the first time since the accident was frightening, but it was also necessary.
24．What was the author's reaction to the driver's behavior?
A．She almost burst with anger. B．She felt guilty for her daughter.
C．She felt sympathy for him. D．She was choked with sorrow.
25．What did the doctor suggest to Julia?
A．Staying away from driving. B．Attending a driving lesson.
C．Contacting the insurance agent. D．Retaking her routine activities.
26．What did the author realize when Julia spoke on the phone?
A．The driver took the blame for the accident.
B．The accident had been worse than expected.
C．Julia should overcome the fear to drive.
D．Julia was smart to deal with any trouble.
27．Why did the author cry at Julia's text?
A．Julia was good at learning to drive.
B．Julia recovered mentally and physically.
C．Julia had supportive friends and parents.
D．Julia could look after herself when driving.

Set on a sloped plot(山坡) above Prague in the city's Troja district, Villa Sophia has no keys, no light switches and a piano that can play by itself. The house can close the windows when it rains and read aloud materials it has selected from the Internet, based on the owners' interests.
“The house is like a brain,” said Michaela Pankova, who shares the home with her husband, Karel Panek, and their daughters. “It makes decisions for you based on previous experience.” The home, designed by the Prague-based firm Coll Coll, is intended to go beyond automated to autonomous. “As we say, if we have to control it ourselves, it's not smart enough,” said Mr. Panek, a computer scientist.
The couple wanted no compromises in quality and efficiency. When they couldn't find a technology that met their standards, Mr. Panek, the brain behind his home's brain, designed his own system. While family members go about their daily lives, the system collects data and evaluates that data in real time, then comes up with solutions and implements(实施) them. It can accept deliveries when the family isn't home, thanks to individual control of every door from afar and evaluation of the home's external context. It can preheat the driveway to clear snow and ice(but only if it predicts its use, saving energy (otherwise) and lock the doors.
Put energy efficiency, home security and convenience aside, the system's benefit is that in developing beyond a smart home system to a smart home it frees the homeowner from the burden of constant control.
Mr. Panek calls himself a technology optimist, but Mrs. Pankova said it took her some time to warm up to the system. “In the beginning I wasn't into the idea of living in an AI house,” she said. “During the time of the preparation and later the construction, I slowly started to be open to the idea.”
28．What can be inferred about the house from paragraph l? .
A．It is located at the foot of a hill. B．It operates automatically.
C．It frees the family from wind and rain. D．It is poorly equipped with furniture.
29．Who did some extra work to improve the control system of the house?
A．Coll Coll. B．Mrs. Pankova.
C．Mr. Panek. D．The couple's kids.
30．What is the best advantage of the smart home?
A．Picking up deliveries. B．Saving energy.
C．Preheating the driveway. D．Removing the task of constant control.
31．What do the underlined words "warm up to" probably mean in the last paragraph?
A．Apply to. B．Adapt to. C．Turn to. D．Keep to.
D
Foods high in sugar are unhealthy; but these additives are too delicious for many of us to give up or reduce in a way. What if we could somehow enjoy their taste without actually eating them? A student team has now designed a spoon with a structure that stimulates taste buds(味蕾) to produce a sense of sweetness without adding calories or chemicals. The project follows previous work involving flavor-enhancing cutlery(餐具) like chopsticks that increase sweetness with a mild electric current.
The five undergraduate and graduate research students wanted to create a new spoon called Sugarware for people with disorders such as diabetes, with which sugar is largely off their menu.
The new spoon would have several bumps(凸起) on its underside to press against the tongue. The bumps can be covered with a permanent layer of molecules(分子) called ligands. These ligands bond with taste-cell receptor proteins that typically react to sugar molecules or artificial sweeteners. The bond can activate nerve signals, causing the brain to register a sense of sweetness. A diner could thus stimulate sweetness receptors without actual intake of sugar or artificial sweeteners.
This idea is similar to the previous work in that they all use cutlery to enhance taste without a user having to actually consume any sugar. “But the mechanism for stimulating the taste buds is completely different,” Shiyu Xu, one of the student researchers, says. “It uses bumps and taste-bud-stimulating molecules rather than electricity.”
“The idea is very creative,” says Paola Almeida, who is the global director of corporate innovation at candy maker Mars. But the product's commercial success would require a significant behavioral shift among consumers: Instead of adding the usual sugar or artificial sweeteners, “now we're saying, ‘Use this cutlery,” Almeida says. “It remains to be seen whether flavor-enhancing cutlery will catch on.”
32．What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A．How the new invention works. B．How a diner feels sweetness.
C．How ligands and proteins link. D．How sugar molecules function
33．In what way is the previous flavor-enhancing cutlery different from Sugarware?
A．It makes food more delicious.
B．It sends out signals to the brain.
C．It uses electricity to enhance taste.
D．It reduces users' food consumption.
34．What is Paola Almeida's attitude to the future of Sugarware?
A．Positive. B．Uncertain. C．Critical. D．Worried.
35．What's the best title of the text?
A．Struggling for Low Sugar? -Try This Spoon
B．Looking for Delicious Food? -This Is How
C．Working for Commercial Success? -Be Creative
D．Dieting for Better Health? -Mind Sweeteners

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
How to Increase Your Levels of Optimism
The way in which you achieve your goals, face challenges, and overcome failures depends largely on your levels of optimism. Not everyone sees life in the same way. 36
Change your negative thoughts. Your mind takes in negative memories and makes them bigger and more significant than they really are. 37 The next step is to reduce them by comparing them to related or similar memories that are more pleasant. In this way, you gradually change them and select new thoughts. This requires a learning process that'll take some time to practice. However, with patience, you'll achieve the desired results.
Express gratitude. When you face a challenge, it's advisable to figure out what's going well. By taking the time to do this, you allow yourself to register the positive aspects that you experience. To help your brain store these positive events, you should take time each week to analyze what you should be grateful for. 38
Repeat positive affirmations(肯定). One key element for increasing your levels of optimism that you get with previous two steps is positive affirmations. In fact, these messages that you repeat to yourself most regularly are the ones that you believe in and that determine your vision of life. 39 You can start with one or two affirmations that represent the values you want to live by and the goals you want to achieve. For example, tell yourself “Every day I'm improving” or “I'm living my best moment”. 40 Furthermore, it'll make you stronger in the face of them and you'll maintain your optimism.
A．People tend to hold the same attitude towards life.
B．However, you can always train your mind to generate or maintain optimism.
C．They must be repeated with strong belief and be a constant in your daily life.
D．First you should figure out what matters in your life and focus on positive messages.
E．Therefore, every time you have negative thoughts, analyze and view them more objectively.
F．The next step is to let your loved ones know that you love them and you're grateful to them.
G．The repetition of phrases similar to these will allow your mind to interpret negative events differently.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
With the start of new school, freshmen of Hendersonville High School in Nashville were excited to meet new classmates and teachers. Among them, however, 15-year-old Sergio Peralta was feeling very nervous because his right hand had never fully formed since he was born Going to a new school and being “different” are always scary. Sergio was particularly concerned with what his classmates would think of him.
Sergio's parents had trained him to use his left hand from an early age. As he grew up, he was used to not using his right hand. He could write with his left one and do some things with special tricks or techniques. Despite this, in the first day of new school, Sergio always felt like hiding his underdeveloped right hand in his sleeve as if nobody would ever find out if he did so.
It didn't take long for someone to learn Sergio's secret. Jeff Wilkins, the teacher of Sergio's engineering class, figured out that Sergio was missing part of his hand and decided to do something for the new student. Jeff had been leading a robotics project in the school and worked on 3D printing technology. Besides, he hoped to take advantage of this hands-on chance to help his robotics students learn more about engineering and how building a robotic hand worked.
So in his class, Jeff announced with great enthusiasm, “You're supposed to be engineers, coming up with new ideas and solving issues. Now Sergio needs a new hand, so we’ll work together to build Sergio a robotic hand.” His words fueled everyone's curiosity and creativity.
For the next four weeks, Jeff and his class including Sergio worked on the project. After some precise measurements and research, the class put forward a design draft. Jeff made a few adjustments and gave them some practical suggestions. With access to online models and a 3D printer, they eventually created a robotic hand, which was intended to look good and work well, like catching something.
注意：
1．续写词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Then came the final testing day.




The life-changing gift for Sergio drew huge attention.

Dear Steve,
Thank you for caring about my major option. With so many majors to choose from, I feel it hard to make a decision. Everything taken into account, I'd like to major in medicine at college. The reasons are listed as follows.
First, both my parents are medical workers, who have great influences on me. Besides, I do well in science in my studies, which may contribute to the major. What's more, it is doctors and nurses that heal the wounded and rescue the dying, and I want to be one-of them.
I will spare no effort to work for my ideal major and make my dream come true.
Yours,
Li Hua

Then came the final testing day. The whole class gathered in the science classroom, watching breathlessly as Jeff carefully loaded their self-made robotic hand onto Sergio's right arm. It fitted quite well! So excited was Sergio that his arm trembled slightly. Having put a baseball on the desk, Jeff signed to Sergio to pick it up. Slowly, Sergio extended his right hand and reached for the ball. Successfully he caught hold of it and everyone present broke into cheers! Holding the ball, Sergio couldn't contain his tears. Never in his life did he expect to catch something with his right hand!
The life-changing gift for Sergio drew huge attention. Jeff and his students became an instant hit and various media competed to cover the news. When interviewed about the intention of the project, Jeff said, “I intended Sergio's robotic hand to show our support for him. Meanwhile, I hope to foster students' scientific spirit through this hands-on operation.” His students stated that Jeff challenged them to transform abstract concepts into reality, from which they benefited greatly. Soon voluntary donations poured in, which would go to the school's scientific research and help students develop better.
