Have yu ever seen a car withut a driver? It sunds crazy, but these cmputer-driven driverless car s will sn be filling rads near yu. Tech cmpanies arund the wrld have been designing and testing driverless vehicles and the technlgy is available already.
S hw d they wrk? The cars are cvered in sensrs that can detect ther cars and bstacles n the rad. Sensrs n the wheels als help when parking. Rad signs are read by cameras, and satellite navigatin systems are used. Finally, a central cmputer system takes in all the infrmatin and prcesses this t wrk ut when t accelerate, brake and steer. All yu have t d is type in the destinatin.
Sunds like yur idea f heaven? Siting back, lking ut f the windws and even watching a film while “driving” will all be pssible with this new technlgy. In additin, cmputers are generally mre efficient drivers than humans, meaning emissins can be reduced. They als drive mre safely than peple—they dn’t get distracted by music r friends, they bey the speed limit and they have quicker reactin times in case f an emergency.
Hwever, there are still many drawbacks f driverless cars. Cmputers will have difficulties making ethical(道德上的) decisins. If a child ran ut int the rad, wuld the cmputer chse t hit the child r turn aside sharply and ptentially hurt the car’s passengers instead? Mrever, I persnally find driving fun. I’d miss never being behind the wheel myself. There wuld als be legal questins. Shuld children r drunk peple, be allwed in a driverless car by themselves? Or wuld there need t be a respnsible adult with a driving licence in the car at all times?
Althugh being driven arund by a machine wuld perhaps mean that n ne needs a driving license, many peple wuld be put ut f a jb by the ppulatin f driverless cars. Bus, taxi and train drivers wuld be made redundant.
I’m nt cnvinced I’d want a driverless car, let it’s nly a matter f time befre they’ll becme mre affrdable and cmmnplace n ur rads.
8. What d yu need t d when using a driverless car?
A. Cntrl the sensrs.B. Read the rad signs carefully.
C. Put the address int the cmputer.D. Check the satellite navigatin systems.
9. Hw des the authr analyze the shrtcmings f driverless cars?
A. By making a cmparisn.B. By raising sme questins.
C. By sharing persnal experiences.D. By analyzing their harmful effects.
10. What is the underlined wrd “redundant” clsest in meaning t?
A. Replaceable.B. Crucial.C. Distinctive.D. Unwanted.
11. What des the authr think f future driverless cars?
A. They will be less expensive.B. They will cnsume less energy.
C. They will d mre harm than gd.D. They will be mre strictly cntrlled.

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍无人驾驶汽车以及其所带来的问题。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“All yu have t d is type in the destinatin.(你所要做的就是输入目的地。)”可知，使用无人驾驶汽车时只需要输入目的地就行了。故选C。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“Hwever, there are still many drawbacks f driverless cars. Cmputers will have difficulties making ethical(道德上的) decisins. If a child ran ut int the rad, wuld the cmputer chse t hit the child r turn aside sharply and ptentially hurt the car’s passengers instead? Mrever, I persnally find driving fun. I’d miss never being behind the wheel myself. There wuld als be legal questins. Shuld children r drunk peple, be allwed in a driverless car by themselves? Or wuld there need t be a respnsible adult with a driving licence in the car at all times?( 然而，无人驾驶汽车仍然存在许多缺点。计算机将难以做出合乎道德的决定。如果一个孩子跑到马路上，电脑会选择撞到孩子，还是突然转向一边，可能会伤害到车上的乘客？此外，我个人觉得驾驶很有趣。我会怀念自己从未开车的日子。还会有法律问题。儿童或醉酒的人应该被允许独自乘坐无人驾驶汽车吗？或者是否需要一个有驾驶执照的负责任的成年人一直在车里？)”可知，作者通过连续提出几个问题来描述无人驾驶汽车的许多缺点。B选项“By raising sme questins.( 通过提出一些问题。)”符合题意。故选B。
【10题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线词前面的句子“Althugh being driven arund by a machine wuld perhaps mean that n ne needs a driving license, many peple wuld be put ut f a jb by the ppulatin f driverless cars. (虽然由机器驾驶可能意味着没有人需要驾驶执照，但无人驾驶汽车的数量将使许多人失业。)” 可知，无人驾驶汽车的出现可能会让很多人失业，因此公共汽车、出租车、火车等司机的工作可能会变得不再被需要。故划线词与D选项“Unwanted.(不需要的)”为同义词。故选D。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“I’m nt cnvinced I’d want a driverless car, let it’s nly a matter f time befre they’ll becme mre affrdable and cmmnplace n ur rads.( 我不太确定我是否会想要一辆自动驾驶汽车，但它的普及和价格下降只是时间问题，它们将变得在我们的道路上更加普遍和负担得起。)” 可知，作者认为无人驾驶汽车迟早会变得更便宜更常见。故选A。
D
Scientists have already established frm multiple studies that Mars cntains large amunts f water. Mst f the water exists in the frm f ice. Chinese researchers say they have built an artificial intelligence(AI) rbt that can use materials fund n Mars t prduce catalysts (催化剂) t break dwn water and release xygen. It culd be anther way fr space travelers in the future t make much-needed xygen n Mars.
Experiments were carried ut n meterites that either came frm Mars r cntained materials similar t the Martian surface. The “rbt chemist” first used an acid and chemical mixture t separate and examine materials cntained in the meterites. It identified several different metallic elements and then wrked t identify different mlecules (分子) that culd be prduced frm meterite materials. The system fund mre than 3.7 millin pssible mlecule cmbinatins. The rbt used that data t predict which catalysts wuld be able t split water mlecules t prduce xygen. The catalyst chsen as the best fit was able t perate at minus 37 degrees Celsius. This temperature is similar t current cnditins n Mars.
The study’s lead writer, Jun Jiang, said that as a by, he ften dreamed f being able t ne day travel in space. “S when we finally saw that the catalysts made by the rbt culd actually prduce xygen by splitting water mlecules. I felt like my dream was cming true. I even started t imagine that I, myself, will live n Mars in the future.”
A reprt explaining the study’s results ntes Jiang suggests that fr every square meter f Martian material, his grup’s system culd prduce nearly 60 grams f xygen per hur. The researchers say this level f prductin culd remve the need fr future astrnauts t transprt xygen frm Earth. “The rbt can wrk cntinuusly fr years.” Jiang said.
Jiang said, “It culd als be used t prduce ther useful catalysts n Mars. This culd include prcesses fr making substances t supprt the grwth f plants that culd be used t prduce fd fr astrnauts. Different chemicals can be made by this rbt. Mars might als nt be the nly place where it culd find ther used, suggesting the mn as anther pssibility.”
12. What d Chinese scientists use AI rbts t d in the research?
A. T cllect water data frm Mars.
B. T prduce xygen frm water n Mars.
C. T explre the ice cverage n Mars.
D. T assist humans in settling dwn n Mars.
13 Which aspect f the research des Paragraph 2 fcus n?
A. Its prcess.B. Its scale.C. Its result.D. Its effect.
14. Why des the authr mentin Jiang’s dream?
A. T explain the chemical reactin.B. T advcate space travel.
C. T prve the success f the study.D. T shw the future life n Mars.
15. What des Jiang stress in the last paragraph?
A. The substances fr grwing plants n Mars.
B. The existence f xygen n the mn.
C. The pssible discvery f chemicals n Mars.
D. The ptential applicatin f AI rbts.

根据前文“If a durian is ripe, it shuld ‘sund like hitting a drum’, as the fruit is mre hllw with gaps f air inside the fruit.(如果榴莲成熟了，它的声音应该“听起来像敲鼓”，因为榴莲的果实更中空，里面有空隙。)”以及本段的主旨句“Tap n it (nt with yur hand).轻敲它(不要用手)，”可知，设空处内容应与“敲榴莲、听声音”有关，选项A“Purchasing a durian, listen ut fr tapping sunds.(购买榴莲时，注意听敲击的声音。)”与“敲榴莲、听声音”相对应。与本段落内容有关，故选A项。
【18题详解】
下文“A perfectly elliptical durian is nt necessarily the mst delicius!(完全椭圆的榴莲并不一定是最美味的!)”及本段中两个If引导的条件句“If the durian has bulging (鼓起的) sides(如果榴莲是鼓起的)”和“If the sides are cncave(如果榴莲是凹的)”可知，本段主要与“榴莲形状”有关。C项“In additin, ne must als learn t bserve the shape f the durian.(此外，还必须学会观察榴莲的形状。)”概括本段大意，能引起下文内容。故选C项。
【19题详解】
根据上文“Odd-shaped durians als d nt mean that there is less meat.(形状奇特的榴莲也不意味着果肉少。)”可知，设空处应与“榴莲的出肉率”有关，G 选项“They are usually mre fragrant (芳香的) and creamier cmpared t perfectly runded durians.(它们通常比完美圆形的榴莲更香、更软糯。)”承接上文内容，符合语意，选项中They指代上文Odd-shaped durians。故选G项。
【20题详解】
根据上文“bigger is nt necessarily better.(更大的榴莲不一定更好。)”及后文“It’s wise f yu t avid a durian f huge size which seems delicius.(不吃个头太大看起来很好吃的榴莲是明智的。)”可知，设空处应与“榴莲大小”有关，且并不是“越大越好”。F选项“The perfect weight f durian is 1.5 t 2kg, which prvides the best flavrs.(榴莲的最佳重量是1.5-2公斤，味道最好。)”具体指出榴莲的最佳重量，符合语境。故选F项。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。本文主要报道了英国大曼彻斯特地区庆祝中国传统端午节的 Dragn Bat Festival 活动。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：周末，在鼓声和人群的热烈欢呼中，来自60多个龙舟队的桨手在英国大曼彻斯特的索尔福德码头掀起了水花，庆祝中国传统的龙舟节。句中made为谓语动词，设空处使用非谓语动词，此处表示“去庆祝中国传统的龙舟节”，故使用不定式结构作状语。故填t celebrate。
【37题详解】
考查名词。句意：今年的英国中国龙舟节吸引了包括曼联、曼城、索尔福德红魔橄榄球俱乐部在内的世界知名体育俱乐部的参与，为活动带来了新的刺激，并融合了体育文化。设空处使用participate的名词participatin作宾语，意为“参与”。故填participatin。

考查非谓语动词。句意：同上。句中featured为谓语动词，设空处使用非谓语动词，此处Manchester United FC, Manchester City FC, 和Salfrd Red Devils rugby league club与include之间是被动关系，故使用过去分词作后置定语。故填included。
【39题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：今年是英国龙舟节的第十届，据说这是欧洲最大的龙舟活动之一，也是英国最重要的文化和体育亮点之一。设空处引导的是非限制性定语从句，引导词在从句中作主语，指代前文的the UK festival，为物，用which。故填which。
【40题详解】
考查形容词。句意：同上。句中ne f the+形容词最高级+名词复数为固定结构，使用形容词最高级作定语，意为“最……之一”。故使用significant的最高级，最高级前有定冠词the表示限定。故填the mst significant。
【41题详解】
考查动词时态和语态。句意：自2012年开始举办以来，该比赛一直由新华华人协会(XCA)与索尔福德市议会和英国龙舟赛协会合作举办。句中since+一般过去时，为现在完成时时间标志，同时the cmpetitin与rganize之间是被动关系，故使用现在完成时的被动语态。故填has been rganized。
【42题详解】
考查介词。句意：除了赛艇比赛，今年在曼彻斯特举行的庆祝活动还包括各种文化表演，包括舞龙舞狮、功夫和腰鼓舞，吸引了许多好奇和感兴趣的路人。句中in additin t为固定短语，意为“除了……”。故填t。

【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者上小学四年级的时候，她被选为学校戏剧的公主角色，但由于紧张导致在舞台上无法顺利表演。在老师的建议下，她不得不将公主角色让给另一个女孩，转而担任旁白。回到家后，她感到羞愧和沮丧，不愿告诉母亲发生的一切。然而，母亲用蒲公英作为隐喻，告诉作者不是每个人都能成为公主，但这并不意味着有什么可羞耻的。在母亲的激发和鼓励下让小女孩重新找回了自信，最终，在戏剧表演中，她的旁白赢得了观众的热烈掌声，让她坚信自己的重要性。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“我把发生的事告诉了她。”可知，第一段可描写母亲得知真相后，一如既往的安慰作者并激励作者担任好旁白的角色，作者备受激发和鼓舞，迎接表演的到来。
②由第二段首句内容“大日子终于到来了。”可知，第二段可描写作者在上台之前的紧张，作者发现口袋里的蒲公英，这给了作者莫大的鼓励，最终表演成功。
2.续写线索：
作者告知真相——母亲安慰和鼓励——作者备受鼓舞准备表演——上台前的紧张——口袋里发现蒲公英收到鼓励——表演成功并且作者成为一个自信的女孩

Have yu ever seen a car withut a driver? It sunds crazy, but these cmputer-driven driverless car s will sn be filling rads near yu. Tech cmpanies arund the wrld have been designing and testing driverless vehicles and the technlgy is available already.
S hw d they wrk? The cars are cvered in sensrs that can detect ther cars and bstacles n the rad. Sensrs n the wheels als help when parking. Rad signs are read by cameras, and satellite navigatin systems are used. Finally, a central cmputer system takes in all the infrmatin and prcesses this t wrk ut when t accelerate, brake and steer. All yu have t d is type in the destinatin.
Sunds like yur idea f heaven? Siting back, lking ut f the windws and even watching a film while “driving” will all be pssible with this new technlgy. In additin, cmputers are generally mre efficient drivers than humans, meaning emissins can be reduced. They als drive mre safely than peple—they dn’t get distracted by music r friends, they bey the speed limit and they have quicker reactin times in case f an emergency.
Hwever, there are still many drawbacks f driverless cars. Cmputers will have difficulties making ethical(道德上的) decisins. If a child ran ut int the rad, wuld the cmputer chse t hit the child r turn aside sharply and ptentially hurt the car’s passengers instead? Mrever, I persnally find driving fun. I’d miss never being behind the wheel myself. There wuld als be legal questins. Shuld children r drunk peple, be allwed in a driverless car by themselves? Or wuld there need t be a respnsible adult with a driving licence in the car at all times?
Althugh being driven arund by a machine wuld perhaps mean that n ne needs a driving license, many peple wuld be put ut f a jb by the ppulatin f driverless cars. Bus, taxi and train drivers wuld be made redundant.
I’m nt cnvinced I’d want a driverless car, let it’s nly a matter f time befre they’ll becme mre affrdable and cmmnplace n ur rads.
8. What d yu need t d when using a driverless car?
A. Cntrl the sensrs.B. Read the rad signs carefully.
C. Put the address int the cmputer.D. Check the satellite navigatin systems.
9. Hw des the authr analyze the shrtcmings f driverless cars?
A. By making a cmparisn.B. By raising sme questins.
C. By sharing persnal experiences.D. By analyzing their harmful effects.
10. What is the underlined wrd “redundant” clsest in meaning t?
A. Replaceable.B. Crucial.C. Distinctive.D. Unwanted.
11. What des the authr think f future driverless cars?
A. They will be less expensive.B. They will cnsume less energy.

I’d miss never being behind the wheel myself. There wuld als be legal questins. Shuld children r drunk peple, be allwed in a driverless car by themselves? Or wuld there need t be a respnsible adult with a driving licence in the car at all times?( 然而，无人驾驶汽车仍然存在许多缺点。计算机将难以做出合乎道德的决定。如果一个孩子跑到马路上，电脑会选择撞到孩子，还是突然转向一边，可能会伤害到车上的乘客？此外，我个人觉得驾驶很有趣。我会怀念自己从未开车的日子。还会有法律问题。儿童或醉酒的人应该被允许独自乘坐无人驾驶汽车吗？或者是否需要一个有驾驶执照的负责任的成年人一直在车里？)”可知，作者通过连续提出几个问题来描述无人驾驶汽车的许多缺点。B选项“By raising sme questins.( 通过提出一些问题。)”符合题意。故选B。
【10题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线词前面的句子“Althugh being driven arund by a machine wuld perhaps mean that n ne needs a driving license, many peple wuld be put ut f a jb by the ppulatin f driverless cars. (虽然由机器驾驶可能意味着没有人需要驾驶执照，但无人驾驶汽车的数量将使许多人失业。)” 可知，无人驾驶汽车的出现可能会让很多人失业，因此公共汽车、出租车、火车等司机的工作可能会变得不再被需要。故划线词与D选项“Unwanted.(不需要的)”为同义词。故选D。

Scientists have already established frm multiple studies that Mars cntains large amunts f water. Mst f the water exists in the frm f ice. Chinese researchers say they have built an artificial intelligence(AI) rbt that can use materials fund n Mars t prduce catalysts (催化剂) t break dwn water and release xygen. It culd be anther way fr space travelers in the future t make much-needed xygen n Mars.
Experiments were carried ut n meterites that either came frm Mars r cntained materials similar t the Martian surface. The “rbt chemist” first used an acid and chemical mixture t separate and examine materials cntained in the meterites. It identified several different metallic elements and then wrked t identify different mlecules (分子) that culd be prduced frm meterite materials. The system fund mre than 3.7 millin pssible mlecule cmbinatins. The rbt used that data t predict which catalysts wuld be able t split water mlecules t prduce xygen. The catalyst chsen as the best fit was able t perate at minus 37 degrees Celsius. This temperature is similar t current cnditins n Mars.
The study’s lead writer, Jun Jiang, said that as a by, he ften dreamed f being able t ne day travel in space. “S when we finally saw that the catalysts made by the rbt culd actually prduce xygen by splitting water mlecules. I felt like my dream was cming true. I even started t imagine that I, myself, will live n Mars in the future.”
A reprt explaining the study’s results ntes Jiang suggests that fr every square meter f Martian material, his grup’s system culd prduce nearly 60 grams f xygen per hur. The researchers say this level f prductin culd remve the need fr future astrnauts t transprt xygen frm Earth. “The rbt can wrk cntinuusly fr years.” Jiang said.
Jiang said, “It culd als be used t prduce ther useful catalysts n Mars. This culd include prcesses fr making substances t supprt the grwth f plants that culd be used t prduce fd fr astrnauts. Different chemicals can be made by this rbt. Mars might als nt be the nly place where it culd find ther used, suggesting the mn as anther pssibility.”
12. What d Chinese scientists use AI rbts t d in the research?
A. T cllect water data frm Mars.
B. T prduce xygen frm water n Mars.
C. T explre the ice cverage n Mars.
D. T assist humans in settling dwn n Mars.
13 Which aspect f the research des Paragraph 2 fcus n?
A. Its prcess.B. Its scale.C. Its result.D. Its effect.
14. Why des the authr mentin Jiang’s dream?
A. T explain the chemical reactin.B. T advcate space travel.
C. T prve the success f the study.D. T shw the future life n Mars.
15. What des Jiang stress in the last paragraph?

【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者上小学四年级的时候，她被选为学校戏剧的公主角色，但由于紧张导致在舞台上无法顺利表演。在老师的建议下，她不得不将公主角色让给另一个女孩，转而担任旁白。回到家后，她感到羞愧和沮丧，不愿告诉母亲发生的一切。然而，母亲用蒲公英作为隐喻，告诉作者不是每个人都能成为公主，但这并不意味着有什么可羞耻的。在母亲的激发和鼓励下让小女孩重新找回了自信，最终，在戏剧表演中，她的旁白赢得了观众的热烈掌声，让她坚信自己的重要性。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“我把发生的事告诉了她。”可知，第一段可描写母亲得知真相后，一如既往的安慰作者并激励作者担任好旁白的角色，作者备受激发和鼓舞，迎接表演的到来。
②由第二段首句内容“大日子终于到来了。”可知，第二段可描写作者在上台之前的紧张，作者发现口袋里的蒲公英，这给了作者莫大的鼓励，最终表演成功。
