Vehicles often come into conflict with other vehicles and pedestrians when their intended courses of travel intersect (交叉), and end up being in each other，s way. The general principle that establishes who has the right to go first is called “right of way”, or “priority”. It determines who has the right to use the conflicting part of the road and who has to wait. Signs, signals, markings and other features are often used to make priority clear.

A driver must yield (让) the right of way to other drivers:

● When approaching a YIELD sign. Slow down or stop to avoid a crash.

● Even after the light turns green when there are vehicles in the intersection.

● When approaching emergency vehicles using sounding or flashing sirens.

● After coming to a complete stop at an intersection where there is a stop sign or a flashing red signal. If there is no stop line, stop before the crosswalk.

● When making a left turn on a red light after a stop from a one-way street to another one-way street with traffic moving to the left. (See Figure A.)

● When two vehicles on different roadways arrive at a four-way stop intersection at the same time, the vehicle should yield to the vehicle on its right. (See Figure B.)

● When coming out of an alley, building, private road or driveway after coming to a complete stop. (See Figure C.)

● When crossing traffic at the end of a “T” road with no traffic control signs or signals. (See Figure D.)

1. What’s the purpose of the text?

A. To explain the law of right of way.

B. To illustrate traffic signs and signals.

C. To inform drivers of general traffic rules.

D. To introduce traffic rules to pedestrians.

2. Which is the right behavior according to the text?

A. Drive on once the light turns green.

B. Keep driving if there is no stop line.

C. Yield to emergency vehicles at any time.

D. Slow down when approaching a YIELD sign.

3. Which of the following description is TRUE according to the figures?

A. Figure A: B should yield to A.

B. Figure B: A should yield to B.

C. Figure C: A should yield to B.

D. Figure D: A should yield to B.

Inside WeWork’s New York City headquarters on a Thursday morning, a handful of kids are selling carrots and peppers. The children are members of WeWork’s first school, WeGrow, where farming is part of the curriculum. They are interacting with WeGrow employees browsing the goods. “How many carrots would you like?” one girl asks. “We take Apple Pay,” another shouts.

Founded in 2010, We Work has made a name for itself as a global network of coworking spaces. WeGrow is WeWork’s newest enterprise (事业) and its first attempt in the education industry.

WeGrow, a school which claims to grow “conscious leaders”，is inspired by the Montessori approach to learning that gives children the freedom to explore and choose their activities, so their nature of creativity and curiosity is preserved. But the goal is not to create next-generation CEOs. “Leadership is a bit of an exciting word for people,” said Rebekah, WeGrow’s founder and CEO, “We’ve seen children do such a thing forever —— running a lemonade stand every time , that’s what that is.”

WeGrow opened in the fall last year. Currently, 46 kids are enrolled in classes from pre-kindergarten to fourth grade. The kids start every morning with live music, followed by yoga. They spend time in nature and choose to take either Hebrew or Mandarin courses. WeGrow students learn science, math, social studies and language arts. It also has a program for kids to connect with WeWork community members with careers in areas kids might be interested in. But the main concern is that standardized tests are not available to measure the students’ overall progress.

They want to create an environment where people can work to make a life and not just a living, but that’s part of a larger mission to raise the world’s awareness towards creating a world where people are happy and fulfilled and living in a sharing state.

4. What do we know about WeGrow from the text?

A. It was founded in 2010.

B. It is intended for kids of gifts.

C. It aims to preserve kids’ nature.

D. It got a lot of satisfaction from parents.

5. Which of the following reflects the Montessori approach?

A. All kids learn to run the lemonade stand.

B. Students are allowed to establish markets in the yard.

C. The school committee arranges students，activities.

D. Students work hard academically to become CEOs.

6. Why is it hard to measure students’ progress?

A. Because there are so many courses.

B. Because the students are of a wide age range.

C. Because standardized tests have limitations.

D. Because the school lacks professional testers.

7. What can be a suitable title for the text?

A. A Farming-featured school

B. An Education-based Business

C. Grow to be a Future Leader

D. Learn to Make a Life, not Just Living

【答案】4. C    5. B    6. C    7. D

C

A day in the life of a sun bear is what you might expect from the name: sunny. In its natural habitat, the sun bear spends over 80 percent of its active waking time in daylight.

But when disturbed by human activity, that changes dramatically. In areas where people are pushing into the sun bear’s habitat, the animals are spending 90 percent of their waking time after dark. Effectively, the threat of human presence is making the sun bear change into “the moon bear”.

Led by scientists at the University of California, Berkeley, the study found that human activity is driving scores of mammals to shift their activity from the daytime into the dark hours of the night. As many animals have already been forced out of their local habitats, others are attempting to avoid interaction with humans by separating themselves in time rather than in space.

For the work, the researchers examined the behaviors of 64 mammal species, including deer, tigers, boars, and, of course, sun bears. They observed increased nocturnal (夜间的) behavior in a large majority of them, with species that are naturally active during the day tending to shift their activity to after dark, and those that are naturally nocturnal becoming more so. The mammals affected ranged across body size, habitat type, region of the world, and diet.

Human activity of all sorts affect animals，lives, including activities like hunting, agriculture and land development, harvesting local natural resources, even hiking or walking through wild areas. Sport hunting in the Hwange National Park in Zimbabwe drove antelopes to spend more of their active waking hours at night, restricting their access to water. Similarly, hikers in the Santa Cruz Mountains in California made coyotes (郊狼) more nocturnal, forcing them to find new preys (猎物) among traditionally nocturnal animals.

The researchers warn that profound shifts in the natural behavior patterns of so many species disturb dynamics that have evolved over generations, leading to a series of unknown effects on the entire ecosystems.

8. What did the study find?

A. More animals separate themselves in space.

B. Human activity changes animals’ way of life

C. Many animals were pushed out of their local habitats.

D. The sun bear spends over 80% waking time in daylight.

9. What does the underlined word “that” refer to?

A. The sun bear. B. The waking time.

C. Human activity. D. The natural habitat.

10. What can we infer from paragraph 5?

A. Antelopes have easier access to water.

B. Coyotes have to prey on new types for survival.

C. Human activity shortens animals’ sleeping time.

D. Animals have managed to escape interaction with humans.

11. What does the author want to tell us in the text?

A. Human threat makes the sun bear nocturnal.

B. Animals are badly hurt by human presence.

C. Animals become more adaptable thanks to human.

D. Ecosystems may be reshaped due to human activity.

【答案】8. B    9. B    10. B    11. D

Alibaba Cloud and the Hangzhou city government announced the launch of ET City Brain 2.0, a cloud—powered and Al-driven urban traffic-management system that aims to increase the city’s efficiency.

After over two years of testing in Alibaba’s home base, ET City Brain has become the new infrastructure (基础设施) for Hangzhou, with a total coverage of 420 square kilometers in area, including over 1,300 traffic lights. Over 200 traffic officers are connected via mobile phones, enabling them to receive real-time alerts on any traffic-related emergencies.

In version 2.0, the system will optimize the city’s firefighting abilities by providing key information to firefighters, such as water pressure, the number and position of fire hydrants (消防栓) in a given area, the location of gas pipes and other details they need to know. The information is instant, making the entire firefighting process faster, safer and more accurate.

City Brain gives meaning to data. By using AI and advanced algorithms (计算程序), City Brain is able to analyze a large amount of data and turn them into useful information in real-time speed.

As a result of City Brain’s ability to predict traffic flow, detect accidents and provide instant feedback, Hangzhou has dropped from 5th to the 57th on the list of China’s most congested cities. Hangzhou is probably the only city that can tell you how many cars are on the street at any given time.

In the case of medical emergencies, City Brain is able to change traffic lights, so emergency vehicles like ambulances and fire trucks can head to the scene without interruption, accelerating their arrival time by 49%.

Dr. Wang Jian, the head of Alibaba’s Technology Steering Committee who invented the term “City Brain”, said the system is designed to empower a city to act quickly and directly. It is more than just about traffic management. It’s really about how to make city more livable at a time of shrinking natural resources around the globe. “It is a matter of sustainability, while using as little natural resources as possible,” Wang said, “This is just the beginning.”

12. What benefit will ET City Brain bring?

A. Lower crime rates.

B. Efficient government.

C. Less traffic congestion.

D. Improved medical care.

13. Which of the following functions of the city Brain is NOT mentioned in the text?

A. Predicting traffic flow.

B. Giving quick feedback.

C. Changing traffic lights.

D. Handling traffic accidents.

14. Which of the following best explains “optimize” in paragraph 3?

A. Better. B. Practise.

C. Operate. D. Emphasize.

15. What can we conclude from the last paragraph?

A. ET City Brain 2.0 is a mature version.

B. Alibaba targets environmentally-friendly development.

C. The government is devoted to improving the system.

D. The system can solve the problem of lack of resources.

【答案】12. C    13. D    14. A    15. B

【答案】Last Thursday, all the students and teachers in our school gathered in the auditorium at 3 p.m. to enjoy a special activity—an English speech contest with the theme of “telling Chinese stories in English”.

The activity had three parts. First, every contestant delivered his or her own speech and then each of them was asked to make an impromptu speech according to the given questions by the judges. The last part was evaluating and presenting the trophies to the award winners.

This contest gave us a good opportunity to enhance our abilities of speaking English as well as having a deeper understanding of the differences and connections between China and the world. More importantly, we get to know it is our responsibility to spread splendid Chinese culture to the world.
