6.People in several American states may be surprised to see cars on city streets without a driver.Experimental driverless vehicles now are legal in Florida,Nevada and California.They are pointing the way to a future that is not far down the road.The high-tech company Google has a number of self-driving cars,which had covered 480,000 kilometers by August.Volvo is among the companies doing road tests and says it plans to sell driverless cars by 2020.
     In September,California Governor Jerry Brown signed an act to allow autonomous vehicles on the roads of his state."Today we're looking at science fiction becoming tomorrow's reality-the driverless car."The technology for these cars includes cameras,radar and motion sensors.The systems have been improved through competitions sponsored by the U.S.government agency DARPA.Engineer Richard Mason of the Rand Corporation helped design driverless vehicles for DARPA challenge races.
     Cars have become much more fuel-efficient,and new electronic features are making Hondas safer,said Angie Nucci of Honda America."A camera on the passenger-side mirror actually engaged on your guiding screen so you can safely change lanes."Other safety features include warning systems on the front and the sides of the cars.Thesystems help drivers,but don't replace them.Curator Leslie Kendall of the Petersen Automotive Museum said autonomous cars will make the high ways safer.
"By taking out drivers,you also remove most risks of an accident,"Kendall said.He said consumers,however,may be unwilling to lose control."It may take them time to come to realize that the technology is indeed reliable,but it will have to prove itself first."
     Mason said the technology already works and the biggest challenge now is getting down the cost for driverless vehicles from hundreds of thousands of dollars to something more affordable.He said this will happen as the technology is improved.

14.Luke has always been my closest and best friend these past five years.As you already know,there have been a lot of forest fires during the summer season.Many forests are badly damaged by fire each year.Not far from our house,a forest caught fire during this hot summer.We are on July,a heat wave which has been going on for three days.
Luke rushed towards the forest where flames send out heat.There's no longer any hope at the moment to wait for Luke to come back.In fact,I was waiting for the fire brigade (消防隊(duì)) to tell me about his death in the forest.Suddenly,a fireman burst into my office and told me that Luke successfully saved four little cats who were trapped by the flames.According to the fireman,Luke moved the cats one by one to a safe place.

Thanks to Luke,four cats and a fireman were saved.That day,I took pride in Luke for his two heroic actions.I paid a visit to the fireman in his house with my Luke.What a memorable scene when the fireman held Luke tightly to his chest!"One thousand thanks,Luke,for saving my life,"the fireman said.
This true story of love shows us that pets are faithful.We should love and protect them.Sometimes they can make big things for humans.

11.A good reader becomes sooner or later a good book buyer.The sooner,the better.The reading done in a book drawn from a library can not be so pleasant at the moment nor so  permanently useful as the reading done in our own copy.
    A book which is worth reading is likely to be read more than once,and at each reading some idea or some statement makes such an impression that we wish to refer to it again. Some readers underline the page as they read,but I find that a page which I have underlined can not give me so many fresh impressions as one which has no marks on it.My habit is to make my own index(索引)of a book as I read.I put down the number of the page and a word or two to identify the thought or the fact which I get from it.On a second or third reading I am likely to double or triple the size of this index.This is my substitute for underlining.Most of the books in my library are so indexed that I can find quickly the passage which from time to time I wish to look up.
    To use a book in this way,organizing it for continued usefulness year after year,we  must,of course,do our reading in a copy which belongs to us.The books I buy are chiefly   those of less expensive editions.
    As I have grown older and the number of books on my shelves has increased,I appre-ciate editions which do not take much room.By careful and continuous selection I keep my  librarv down to ten thousand books.This would be,of course,too large a number for any but a professional scholar or writer.But my advice to a book lover is to weed but his library  at least once every two years,giving away the books which are not likely to be read again.And never never buy a book which you will not immediately read.A library bought only for looks is not literature,but indoor decoration.
61.Which of the following best explains the underlined part in the first paragraph?
A
A.Reading your own book benefits you more than reading a copy from a library.
B.Reading a book at home is more pleasant and useful than doing it in a library.
C.Reading a book in a library is more pleasant and useful than doing it at home.
D.A book drawn from a library cannot take as much time as your own copy.
62.What is the disadvantage of underlining according to the author?C
A.Underlined books look old and not worth reading.
B.The lines make it difficult for the reader to concentrate.
C.Underlined books cannot give the reader enough fresh impressions.
D.The reader cannot find the passage he or she wishes to read again.
63.What would the author's index look like after a third reading?B
A.It contains the number of the page and a word or two.
B.It contains the number of the page and 3 to 6 words.
C.It numbers the page,the paragraph and the lines.
D.It fills the cover of the book with numbers and words.
64.Which of the following books would the author most probably like to keep?D
A.Big expensive good books.   
B.Thin and cheap books.
C.Books with lots of pictures.   
D.Good books in cheap,thin editions.
65.Which of the following can be inferred from the last paragraph?B
A.The writer has read only some of the books in his library.
B.The writer is a professional scholar or writer.
C.The writer has never given away any books in his library.
D.The writer's library is indoor decoration rather than literature.

18.Attempts to understand the relationship between social behavior and health have their origin in history.Dubos (1969)suggested that primitive(原始的)humans were closer to the animals because they,too,relied upon their instincts to stay healthy.Yet some primitive humans recognized a cause and effect relationship between doing certain things and alleviating(減輕)symptoms of a disease or improving the condition of a wound.Since there was so much that primitive humans did not understand about the functioning of the body,magic became an integral component of the beliefs about the causes and cures of health disorders.So it is not surprising that early humans thought that illness was caused by evil spirits.Primitive medicines made from vegetables or animals were invariably used in combination with some form of ritual (禮儀) to drive harmful spirits away from a diseased body.
One of the earliest attempts in the Western world to formulate principles of health care based upon rational thought and rejection of supernatural phenomena is found in the work of the Greek physician Hippocrates.Little is known of Hippocrates who lived around 400B.C.,not even whether he actually authored the collection of books that bears his name.Nevertheless,the writings attributed to him have provided a number of principles underlying modern medical practice.One of his most famous contributions,the Hippocratic Oath,is the foundation of contemporary medical ethics (道德).Among other things,it requires a physician to swear that he or she will help the sick,keep oneself from intentional wrong-doing or harm,and keep secret all matters to keep the doctor-patient relationship.
Hippocrates also argued that medical knowledge should be derived(源自于)from an understanding of the natural sciences and the logic of cause and effect relationships.In this classic thesis,On Airs,Waters,and Places,Hippocrates pointed out that human-being is influenced by the totality of environmental factors:living habits or lifestyle,climate,geography of the land,and the quality of air and food.Interesting enough,concerns about our health and the quality of air,water,and places are still very much written in the twentieth century.

31.The topic of the first paragraph is summarized inA.
A.the first sentence of the paragraph              
B.the second sentence of the paragraph
C.the third sentence of the paragraph              
D.the last sentence of the paragraph
32.Why did primitive humans rely on magic in their beliefs about the causes and cures of diseasesB?
A.Because magic was an inseparable part of their life.
B.Because they had little knowledge about the functioning of the body.
C.Because the diseases were caused by the evil spirits.
D.Because magic must be used in going through the rituals to drive out the evil spirits.
33.Considering Hippocrates'background,we can see from the second paragraph thatD.
A.he was the forefather of modern medicine
B.experts are sure that the books bearing his name were not written by him
C.he had a rational mind aided by supernatural instincts
D.experts do not know much about him except when and where he lived
34.All of the following are included in the Hippocratic Oath EXCEPTD.
A.helping patients
B.keeping oneself from harming patients
C.keeping secret all matters to maintain a good relationship with the patients
D.obeying rules for modern medicine practice
35.Which of the following best expressed the main idea of the last paragraph?C
A.Doctor's concerns remain unchanged.
B.Medicine comes from nature.
C.Environment affects health.
D.Climate determines lifestyle.
