Have you ever seen a car without a driver? It sounds crazy, but these computer-driven driverless cars will soon be filling roads near you.

So how do they work? The cars have sensors (感应器) all around. They can help discover other cars and avoid 16．in the road. Sensors on the wheels also help when parking, so the car knows how far it is from the other parked cars. Road signs are read by cameras, and hi-tech systems are used so the car knows how to get to where you are going. All you have to do is type in the address! Finally, a central computer system will 17．all the information it receives from the sensors and work out when to speed up, stop and turn.

Sitting back, looking out of the windows and even watching a film or reading a book while “driving” would be 18．with this new technology. You wouldn’t have to worry about remembering directions. In addition, computers are generally better drivers than humans. They will also drive more safely than people. They will obey the speed limit and have quicker reaction time in case of an 19．(1分).

However, there are many disadvantages of driverless cars. Computers would have 20．making ethical (伦理的) or legal (法律的) decisions; if a child ran into the road, would the computer choose to hit the child or kill the car’s passengers? Should children be 21．in a driverless car by themselves? Or would there need to be a 22．adult with a driving license in the car at all times?

Many people would lose their jobs because of driverless cars. Bus, taxi, train and tram drivers would be 23．(1分).

I’m not so sure about whether I’d want a driverless car - but it’s only a matter of time before they become more common on our roads.

(本题12分)Autism(自闭症) is a disorder of the brain that happens in the first three years of life. It     41    the brain’s normal development. Most autistic patients have difficulty talking with other people or doing things. However, some of the autistic people have surprising abilities. For example, some can memorize many things and some can do calculations really fast.

Raymond Babbitt in the 1988 film Rain Man is an     42    of autistic people. The character in the film was based on Kim Peek, a man from the USA．Peek couldn't switch on a light or put his clothes on by himself.

His way of reading was more     44    . Peek could read two pages at the same time in just eight to ten seconds. He read the left page with his left eye and the right page with his right eye.

Scientists still don't know for sure why some autistic people have special talent after they have done a lot of research. There is one possible explanation. When certain parts of the brain are      45    by autism, other parts of the brain might get stronger. Therefore, special abilities were born.

(本题14分)    The “Double Eleven” Shopping Festival is one of the largest shopping festivals in China. Last year, the festival went on for eleven days. Alibaba alone saw 498.2 billion yuan in trade.

Many people believe such large shopping festivals can help them s47． lots of money. After all, many stores do discount (打折) their goods. But if you take a second look at the sale prices, you’ll find that many of them end in “9” or “.99”. In our everyday life, we r48． say “Just give me 5.99 minutes”, it’s not common to say “Just give me 59 minutes”, either. We are more likely to say “Just give me six minutes” and “Just give me 60 minutes”. Why do stores prefer the other way round?

According to Lee E. Hibbett, a professor of marketing, this pricing strategy(策略) has been around for about a century. No one knows who invented it. However, stores all like it. Prices that end in “.99” and “9” simply get more customers.

The strategy (策略) is based on the f49． that we read from left to right. On a price tag (标签), the number on the far left impresses us the most. So, even though 5.99 dollars is pretty c50． to 6 dollars, it’s the “5” that impresses us most. A product that sells for 5.99 dollars just seems like a better deal than a similar one that sells for 6 dollars.

In a 2016 study, Hibbett, a professor of marketing asked a clothing company to r51． the price of one of its dresses. He and his workmates all thought fewer people would buy the dress. The result, however, s52． them. Demand (需求) increased by a third. Increasing the price from $34 to $44 made no difference at all.

So be c53． with prices that end in “9” or “.99”. They may make you spend more money!

“Why have you caught me?” the bird asked.

“I want to make money. I can sell you for a big amount,” replied Richard.

“Certainly.” said the bird. Then it added, “The first rule is ‘Never believe everything others say.’ The second rule is ‘Never be sad about something you do not have,’ The third rule is ‘（5）______.’ ”

“You silly bird.” shouted Richard. These three rules are known to everyone. You cheated me.

But the bird said, “Richard, just think about all your actions of today. You had me in your hands, but you threw me away. You believed all that I said. And you are sad about not having me. The rules are simple, but you never followed them. Now do you see the value of the rules?”
