(A)
When experts pnder the future f autmbiles. they tend t fcus n tw nvel mdes f transprtatin: driverless cars and flying cars. At this years CES technlgy shw in Las Vegas, Hyundai has intrduced a third visin fr hw vehicles might traverse the wrld arund them ---ne that des nt rely slely n wheels.
Mre than 2,000 years after the wheelbarrws debut in classical Greece, ushering in a newer f lcmtin. Hyundai s latest cncept car is designed t walk as easily as it rlls, Called "Elevate, the daddy-lng-legs-like machine has wheels at the end f lng rbtic legs that wuld allw" users t drive, walk r even climb ver the mst treacherus terrain, " accrding t the cmpany
The cmpany-which labels the machine a UMV, r "ultimate mbility vehicle-said the cncept was inspired by the need fr "resilient transprtatin" in disaster znes, where cnventinal vehicles are ften rendered useless. "When a tsunami r earthquake hits, current rescue vehicles can nly deliver first respnders t the edge f the debris field, "Jhn Suh, Hyundai vice president and head f Hyundai CRADLE, said in a statement n the cmpany's website “ They have t g the rest f the way by ft. Elevate can drive t the scene and climb right ver fld debris r crumbled cncrete. "Suh added the vehicle's usefulness wuld nt be limited t emergency situatins. Fr peple living with disabilities withut access t an ADA ramp, the statement said, an autnmus versin f the Elevate culd walk t a frnt dr and psitin itself s a wheelchair culd “rll right in.”
Hw realistic is the Elevate cncept?
David Bailey, a prfessr at Astn Business Schl in England, tld the BBC that althugh cncept cars may nt make it t the factry flr. they can help generate valuable new ideas. “Fr mst f us, it's ging t be wheels and rads, but in extreme situatins there may be scpe fr this srt f thing. " Bailey said. “There may well be applicatins in terms f emergency services--- but there are very big technlgical challenges t make this srt f thing.”
Hyundai's visin is undeniably ambitius. The cmpany said it envisins being able t switch ut different Elevate bdy types fr different situatins. The vehicle is designed t use “bth mammalian and reptilian walking gaits”, giving it the ability t travel in any directin, the cmpany said, nting the legs fld up int a "stwed drive-mde" t save pwer.
Thse legs. the cmpany said, wuld be able t climb ver a five- ft wall and step acrss a five-ft gap. A cncept vide prduced by Hyundai shws the vehicle perfrming a mixture f driving and walking. When the surface is relatively flat, the vehicle tums t cnventinal wheels, but when the terrain grws craggy, the vehicle's wheels appear t lck int place and its legs extend, taking synchrnized steps frward.
When surrunded by massive chunks f cncrete frm what appears t be a cllapsed structure, Elevate is shwn leveling itself n an incline s rescuers can lad a stretcher inside. “Imagine a car stranded in a snw ditch just 10 feet ff the highway being able t walk r climb ver the treacherus terrain, back t the rad, ptentially saving its injured passengers---this is the future f vehicular mbility, " said David Byrn, industrial design manager at Sundberg-Ferar, a Detrit-based design firm that partnered with Hyundai t create the Elevate.
56. Which f the fllwing is NOT mentined in the article abut where "Elevate" can be used?
A. In a tsunami.
B. In an earthquake
C. In severe weather cnditins
D. In sme situatins where the disabled need help
57. The underlined wrd "terrain" in the secnd paragraph frm bttm prbably mean
A. rad B gegraphy C. cnditin D. situatin
58. Which can best explain why "Elevate" may have a prmising future accrding t the text?
A. Because it can help disabled peple better their life in many ways.
B. Because the research funds fr this kind f car are available and sufficient.
C Because it has a wide range f uses in many fields as well as in peple’ life.
D. Because it is nthing but a technlgical challenge t make this srt f thing.
59. Which f the fllwing best describes the authrs main purpse in writing this article?
A. T intrduce readers an interesting technlgical prduct.
B. T persuade readers t buy this kind f new prduct.
C. T entertain readers with this new prduct.

(B)
One f the executives gathered at the Aspen Institute fr a day-lng leadership wrkshp using the wrks f Shakespeare was discussing the rle f Brutus in the death f Julius Caesar. “Brutus was nt an hnrable man,” he said. “He was a traitr（叛徒）. And he murdered smene in cld bld.” The agreement was that Brutus had acted with cruelty when ther ptins were available t him. He made a bad decisin, they said—at least as it was presented by Shakespeare—t take the lead in murdering Julius Caesar. And thugh ne f the executives acknwledged that Brutus had the gd f the republic in mind, Caesar was nevertheless his superir. “Yu have t understand,” the executives said, “ur plicy is t bey the chain f cmmand.”
During the last few years, business executives and bk writers lking fr a new way t advise crprate America t have been expliting Shakespeare’s wisdm fr prfitable ends. Nne mre s than husband and wife team Kenneth and Carl Adelman, well-knwn advisers t the White Huse, wh started up a training cmpany called “Mvers and Shakespeares”. They are amateur Shakespeare schlars and Shakespeare lvers, and they have cmbined their passin and their high level cntacts int a management training business. They cnduct between 30 and 40 wrkshps annually, fcusing n half a dzen different plays, mstly fr crpratins, but als fr gvernment agencies.
The wrkshps all take the same frm, fcusing n a single play as a kind f case study, and using individual scenes as specific lessns. In Julius Caesar, fr example, Cassius’s sly prvcatin（狡诈的挑唆） f Brutus t take up arms against Caesar was a basis fr a discussin f methds f team building and grass rts rganizing.
Althugh neither f the Adelmans is academically trained in literature, the prgrams cntain plenty f Shakespeare traditin and backgrund. Their wrkshp n Henry V, fr example, includes a helpful explanatin f Henry’s winning strategy at the Battle f Agincurt. But they d cme t the text with a few biases (偏向): their reading f Henry V minimizes his misuse f pwer. Instead, they emphasize the stry f the yuth wh seizes pprtunity and becmes a masterful leader. And at the wrkshp n Caesar, Mr. Adelmans had little gd t say abut Brutus, saying “the nblest Rman f them all” culdn’t make his mind up abut things.
Many f the participants pinted t very specific elements in the play that they felt t be related. Caesar’s pride, which led t his murder, and Brutus’s mistakes in leading the traitrs after the murder, they said, raise vital questins fr anyne serving in a business: when and hw d yu resist the bss?
60. Why d the Adelmans cnduct a wrkshp n Henry V?
T highlight the imprtance f catching pprtunities.
T encurage masterful leaders t plan strategies t win.
T illustrate the harm f prejudices in management.
T warn executives against pwer misuse.
61. It can be inferred frm the passage that ____.
the Adelmans’ prgram prves biased as the rles f characters are maximized.
executives feel bred with t many specific elements f Shakespeare’s plays.
the Adelmans will make mre prfits if they are prfessinal schlars.
Shakespeare has played an imprtant rle in the management field.
62. The best title fr the passage is _____.
Shakespeare’s plays: Executives recnsider crprate culture.
Shakespeare’s plays: An essential key t business success.
Shakespeare’s plays: a lessn fr business mtivatin.
Shakespeare’s plays: Dramatic training brings dramatic results.

Evaluating Surces f Health Infrmatin
Making gd chices abut yur wn health requires reasnable evaluatin. A key first step in bettering yur evaluatin ability is t lk carefully at yur surces f healthy infrmatin. Reasnable evaluatin includes knwing where and hw t find relevant infrmatin, hw t separate facts frm pinins, hw t recgnize pr reasning, and hw t analyze infrmatin and the reliability f surces. (67)
G t the riginal surce. Media reprts ften simplify the results f medical research. Find ut fr yurself what a study really reprted, and determine whether it was based n gd science. Think abut the type f study. (68)
Watch fr misleading language. Sme studies will find that a behavir ―cntributes t r ―is assciated with an utcme; this des nt mean that a certain curse must lead t a certain result. (69) Carefully read r listen t infrmatin in rder t fully understand it.
Use yur cmmn sense. If a reprt seems t gd t be true, prbably it is. Be especially careful f infrmatin cntained in advertisements. The gal f an ad is t sell yu smething. Evaluate scientific statements carefully, and be aware f quackery(江湖骗术).

Develping the ability t evaluate reasnably and independently abut the health prblems will serve yu well thrughut yur life.

A remarkable variety f insects live in this planet. Mre species f insects exist than all ther animal species tgether. Insects have survived n earth fr mre than 300 millin years, and may pssess the ability t survive fr millins mre. Insects can be fund almst everywhere -- n the highest muntains and n the bttm f rushing streams, in the cld Suth Ple and in bubbling ht springs. They dig thrugh the grund, jump and sing in the trees, and run and dance in the air. They cme in many different clrs and varius shapes.

T whm it may cncern,
Reading the reprt that a senir citizen was declined frm riding bus due t being unable t display his health cdes with smartphne, I’m s tuched that I’m writing t vice my pinins.
While the majrity f the ppulace enjys the cnvenience f digital technlgies, hwever, senir citizens are experiencing greater and greater difficulties with the digital divide. This is rather disappinting. Measures shuld be taken t bridge the digital divide fr senir citizens.
T begin with, we need t strengthen educatin and training fr senir citizens. Many f them have little knwledge f new technlgies. Therefr we’d better hire specialized and patient caches, select easy-t-understand teaching materials, and help the senir citizens t becme literate in technlgy. Then, we shuld launch mre senir-friendly prducts. Fr example, the taxi-hailing platfrm f Shanghai has enabled “ne buttn hail” and “big letter mde” s that senirs with pr eyesight can send their lcatin infrmatin with a single click. Mre imprtantly, senir citizens are nt passively taking in help frm thers. We must encurage them t act tgether, t vercme fear f new technlgies, and stick t the belief f “never t ld t learn”.
In a nutshell, t help senir citizens bridge the digital divide, we need jint effrts frm the gvernments, cmpanies, and the whle sciety. Hpe that my suggestins wuld be taken int cnsideratin.
Yurs,
