self-driving taxis began picking up passengers in Singapore recently.Select members of the public can hail(招呼)a free ride through their smartphones in taxis operated by nuTonomy,an autonomous vehicle software startup.While a number of companies,including Google and Volvo,have been testing self-driving cars on public roads for several years,nuTonomy is the first to offer rides to the public.Its launch in Singapore is beating ride-hailing service Uber,which plans to offer rides in autonomous cars in Pittsburgh soon.NuTonomy is starting smallsix cars now,growing to a dozen by the end of the year.The long-term goal is to have a fully self-driving taxi fleet(车队)in Singapore by 2018,to help cut the number of cars on Singapores overcrowded roads from 900,000 to 300,000.Eventually,the model could be adopted in cities around the world,nuTonomy hopes.“When you are able to take that many cars off the road,it creates a lot of possibilities.You can create smaller roads,you can create much smaller car parks,”said Doug Parker,nuTonomys chief operating officer.For now,the taxis only run in a 2.5-square-mile business and residential(住宅的)district called“one-north”,and pick-ups and drop-offs are limited to specified locations.Riders must have an invitation from nuTonomy to use the service.The company says dozens have signed up for the launch,and it plans to expand that list to thousands of people within a few months.The carsmodified Renault Zoe and Mitsubishi i-MiEV electricshave a driver in front who is prepared to take back the wheel and a researcher in the back who watches the cars computers.Each car is fitted with six sets of Lidara detection system that uses lasers to operate like radarincluding one that constantly spins on the roof.There are also two cameras on the dashboard to scan for obstacles(障碍)and detect changes in traffic lights.NuTonomy was formed in 2013.Earlier this year,the company was the first to win approval from Singapores government to test self-driving cars in one-north.NuTonomy announced a research partnership with Singapores Land Transport Authority earlier this month.Singapore is ideal because it has good weather,great infrastructrue and drivers who tend to obey traffic rules.As a land-locked island,the city of 5.4 million people is seeking creative ways to grow its economy,so its been supportive of autonomous vehicle research.1、It seems that the service of self-driving taxis _.Ais operated with high technology Bhas passed through its initial stage Cis supported by Google and Volvo Dwill spread to other countries soon 2、It is implied in the passage that self-driving taxis can finally _.Areduce passengers fare Bcut down fuel consumption Censure passengers safety Dresult in better environment 3、According to the passage,what makes it possible for Singapore to provide self-driving taxi service includes _.Aits small area and urban population Bsupport from its people and government Cits advanced economy and technology Dnecessity to improve its infrastructure 4、What do we learn about the present self-driving taxis in Singapore?ADrivers drive them with the help of researchers.BOne can get into or out of them wherever one is.CHundreds of people can take advantage of them.DYou do not have to pay whenever you take them.22（8 分）If you are in a dilemma about being self-taught or getting formal education,you have come to the right webpage.In this article,we note the advantages of each of these to help you decide which one would be the best for you.Perhaps the biggest advantage of being self-taught is that you are able to save a lot of money.With each passing year,the cost of getting a degree is on the rise.As a result,many students these days tend to graduate from college with a significant amount of debt.This makes it necessary for them to get a job as soon as possible,otherwise a number of serious issues may arise.Besides,it is possible to learn faster on your own,by focusing on only those areas that you are interested in.Finally,learning on your own can be a great confidence builder.You have to struggle to gain knowledge but once you clear the basics on your own,you will find yourself being much more confident about your abilities.One of the biggest advantages of formal education is that you get a degree which is a mark of recognition that you have achieved a level of knowledge in that particular field.Many companies tend to prefer candidates who have a college degree.Whats more,though formal education lacks the convenience and flexibility of self-education,it offers you much more in terms of the actual structure of the learning process.Last,being formally educated means that you will enter a college or other similar educational institutions.There you will get the benefit of being taught and guided by learned teachers and other subject experts.This will be a big benefit as you will be able to take advantage of their experience and gain in-depth knowledge about the subject.Thus,both formal education and self-education have their own sets of advantages.The choice between the two comes down to individual preferences as well as personal situations.1、Which of the following is an advantage of self-education?AA faster pace of learning BBeing guided by subject experts CA wider range of ways to gain knowledge DHaving more chances of getting part-time jobs.2、To get the benefit of being taught by learned experts,you should _.Achoose self-education Benter an educational institution Cwork for learned teachers Dmake use of webpages about education 3、What is the most important factor in choosing the way of education?AThe reputation of educational institutions.BThe knowledge of teachers and experts.CThe opinions of relatives and friends.DOnes preference and situations.4、What is the authors purpose of writing this text?ATo promote a webpage about education.BTo prove that self-education is the best choice.CTo help readers choose between two form of education.DTo prove that its difficult to decide on the proper education.23（8 分）Silvia Maier works at the University of Zurich,Switzerland.She and her colleagues invited 51 young men into the lab for 3 hours of tests.They showed each man 180 food items on a computer.Each time,they asked the men to judge how healthy,tasty and appealing the food was.Then the researchers stressed out 29 of the men.They did this by asking each to put one hand in ice water for three minutes.If the water was too unpleasant,the volunteers could remove their hands,but must continue looking into a video camera.The men were also encouraged to put their hands back into the cold water.All the while,a researcher watched and videotaped the ordeal(考验).Another 22 men held one hand in warm water.They were not videotaped.Afterward,the researchers showed each man a series of two food items.They did this 210 times.And before making choices,the men were told to choose the healthier of the two items.When the testing was over,the scientists gave the volunteers a snack.Each man got one of the items he had said that he preferred.Despite being coached to choose healthy foods,the stressed men proved more likely to pick the less healthy.The researchers also performed brain scans of the volunteers.It showed what part of the brain was active as they made their choices.“Our findings indicate that stress affects the decision making,”Maiers team concluded.And it does this by changing two brain pathways.One affects sensory information,such as taste.The other affects a persons ability to make decisions such as eating what is good for us.More studies will be needed to confirm the new findings.But the early signs suggest that stress not only makes junk food more appealing,but also weakens the brains ability to resist eating it.1、How did the scientists mainly get the result?ABy doing experiments.BBy asking questions.CBy conducting surveys.DBy secret observations.2、The cold water used in the experiment may make men feel Apleasant Bfrightened Crelaxed Dstressed 3、Why did the scientists scan the brains of the volunteers?AThey wanted to find the IQ of them.BThey wanted to observe the activities of their brains.CThey wanted to discover the potential disease of them.DThey wanted to know the health conditions of them.4、What does the last paragraph imply?AThe new Swiss study is the final conclusion.BStress may increase self-control in eating.CStress makes junk food more attractive.DIt is easy for stressed people to resist tasty foods.24（8 分）One of the statements that many experts seem to agree on is the fact that the great things starts to happen the minute you step outside of your comfort zones.As soon as you decide that you are willing to go beyond what is safe,the possibilities are endless.For me,one of the most important things that we should always keep in mind is the fact that growth and comfort cant coexist.Personal development author Napoleon Hill once said:“Whatever the mind can understand and believe,the mind can achieve.Regardless of how many times you may have failed in the past or how lofty(崇高的)your aims and hopes may be.”This statement is especially powerful because it reminds us that we are the only ones who can be responsible for how far we will go.However,stepping outside of our comfort zone is probably the most important step to experiencing real change.For a long time,I knew that I wanted to live in Argentina,so halfway through my bachelors degree,I bought a one-way ticket there.While in Argentina,I finished the last two years of my degree online before flying back home for graduation.I currently still live in Argentina,and I can proudly say that taking the necessary steps to make it a reality was one of the most important things I could have done.This,of course,by no means at all applies to everyone,and Im not implying we should all buy one-way tickets to foreign countries and see what happens.But its important to know that we should recognize what we desire and try to bring our dreams to life.Living in a comfort zone can trick us into believing that we have an abundant amount of time when,in reality,we all know that years can fly by without us having accomplished much of what we really wanted to do.So why wait?Im thankful that I didnt put off my move until a later date because I would have missed out on a lot of amazing life experiences that have shaped me as a person.If we want to experience even a small amount of change,we will have to step outside of it.1、Why do people prefer staying in comfort zone?AIt makes people feel safe.BIt leads to great things.CIt is important for growth.DIt helps make wise decisions.2、What does Napoleon Hills statement mean?ATime and tide wait for no man.BThe higher you fly,the harder you fail.CFailure is the mother of success.DNothing is impossible to a willing heart.3、Which matters most to the author in his/her story?AMoving to Argentina.BGetting the bachelors degree.CStudying online.DFlying back for graduation.4、The author used his/her story to _.Apersuade others to follow his/her example Bencourage others to take immediate action Cinform people of different foreign culture Dremind people to be thankful in life 5、Which one could be the best title?AIdentify your comfort zone.BValue your precious time.CAlways try something new.DMake the best decisions.25（10 分）Even looking back on the revolutionary changes the Internet has brought to our lives,the future of it is still beyond imagination.But what is clear is making the best use of the Internet will be of ever-greater importance to promoting economic development and social progress.Already Chinese companies that are seizing the opportunities presented by the Internet occupy a place in global industry.The rise of e-commerce（电子商务）is particularly noticeable in China,where it is common for the majority of young people to do shopping online,which not only saves them time,hut also saves them money.For the vast rural areas,wher
