18、er heat, wishing I had taken a water bottle. I stopped under a bridge for a moment of shade. I saw two young, dirty and unclean men standing next to their sleeping bags. One smiled and gently raised his hand as if gesturing “hello” but didnt say a word. He wasnt asking for anything. I smiled and mad

19、e the same gesture back to him.As I started back on my run, I thought about how much we all crave connection. In that moment, this homeless man seemed to want to connect more than he wanted food or money. We have all had experiences of feeling separate and lonely. I have felt lonely being in a relat

20、ionship that was short of emotional connection. Feeling separation doesnt have anything to do with being alone.

25、aration C The United States is a nation of car owners. Ninety-five percent of households own a car, and 85 percent of people get to work in one. This lifestyle contributes to traffic jams on our roads and damages the environment. As autonomous vehicles (自动车辆) begin to hit the streets over the next d

26、ecade or so, its believed that all this will change. Autonomous vehicles will most likely decrease the number and severity of crashes, allow cars to travel more closely together and improve cooperation between vehicles, all of which tend to reduce traffic jams and increase capacity (容量). However, th

27、is future is not certain. To realize the full potential benefits of driverless cars, we will have to act soon to encourage a culture in which transportation is shared. Many people in the automobile industry assume that driverless vehicles will automatically be shared, but there is little evidence th

28、at this is true. Most estimates suggest that driverless cars will eventually be only slightly more expensive than traditional cars, which means theyll be within reach of many consumers, so users are not willing to share rides.

29、get a significant benefit. Saving a few dollars off the fare isnt likely to promote the movement significantly. A better benefit would be knowing that youre going to reach your destination more quickly. The way to make sure of quick passage is to redesign our roads to give priority (优先) to ride-shar

30、ing autonomous vehicles like building priority lanes. The cost of travel will also be varied based on how efficiently a vehicle uses the roads. Autonomous vehicles carrying more people should get higher priority than those carrying one or none at all. Decision-makers must push for rewards that encou

31、rage the most efficient use of our limited roadway infrastructure (基础设施).

32、raph?A. To introduce the topic.B. To tell the serious traffic problem.C. To prove the significance of autonomous vehicles.D. To show the damage of cars to the environment.29. What can we learn from the passage? A. Autonomous vehicles worsen traffic jams on roads.B. Autonomous vehicles are likely to

33、reduce traffic jams.C. Saving some fares contributes to shared-ride significantly.D. Many people have ridden autonomous vehicles to avoid traffic jams.30. Which will be a benefit of sharing autonomous vehicles?A. To save a large amount of money.B. To promote the development of science and technology

34、. C. To redesign roads to prioritize (优先考虑) car-shared modes.D. To allow you to reach your destination much more quickly.31. Which is the best title for the passage?A. Driverless Cars Will Make Our Traffic Problems Worse.B. Autonomous Vehicles Will Make a Difference to Traffic.C. Decision-makers Sho

35、uld Take Some Measures Quickly.D. The Current Situation of Cars in the United States is Serious.DChildren born in the past four decades had the luxury of being the center of their parents attention. The entire familys resources were poured into their education and well-being.However, when the same r

36、esources are divided between two children, the amount distributed to each one is going to decline.According to the Hangzhou Daily, when there are two children in the family, parents tend to choose public schools instead of private schools, which are usually more expensive. Each child signs up for fe

37、wer after-school training classes.But having a second child may cure some deep-rooted problems in Chinas traditional family education.Having two children in the family can help to prevent one child being spoiled by too much attention, according to Peoples Daily. It also spares the only child from th

38、e pressure of shouldering parental expectations all alone. Taking care of a sibling (兄弟, 姊妹) also enables children to gain a sense of responsibility, cooperation, obedience and caring.Chinas public education system is also expected to change. Currently, there are not enough seats in kindergarten and

39、 schools to accommodate the potential increase in children.“Its not only the enrollment capacity(录取容量) of educational institutions that will feel the pressure. People are also placing more stress on the quality of education” Peng Xizhe, director of the Population and Development Research Policy Cent

40、er at Fudan University, told China Education Daily.He predicts the government may have to put in more funds to support the educational system as a result of the new family planning measure.32.

Here is your ticket. Your train leaves on Friday morning at 9:30 a.m. And on Sunday it leaves Edinburgh

92、at 6:15 p.m. Is that OK? M: Thats perfect for me. Thank you. W: Youre welcome. Text 10 W: Welcome to ABC electronics. First, let me go over what we do in the department during a typical workday. We basically work from 8:30 to 5:30 with an hour-long lunch break from 12 to 1, although we do expect you

93、 to do a little overtime if theres something important to do. The lunch break is flexible. You can go a little earlier or a little later if you prefer. The main thing is that all our work must be completed on schedule. We even allow our employees to go home early if they finish their work early. You

94、 should attend a department meeting every Monday morning. There are other meetings for people working together on certain projects. Department heads also attend an interdepartmental meeting every two weeks. At first, youll be responsible to me. Later, youll be working more independently. Salaries are paid directly into your bank account, so make sure you give the accounts department all your bank account details as soon as possible.
