【題目】閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的 A、B、C 和 D 四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。C
The main aim is a fully autonomous car that gets rid of the cause of most accidents: the driver, Hodgson points out, ＂For the sake of safety, the faster you can remove humans, the better, even if there are unfortunately a few accidents from new causes. It's a question of balancing the number injured or killed by autonomous vehicles with the people whose lives are potentially saved.＂
It's a theme that Elon Musk, head of electric car company Tesla Motors, has long supported. His company is determined to be the first to deliver a fully autonomous vehicle to consumers. Last year, Musk announced that Tesla's 2017 goal was ＂to do a demonstration ( 示 范 ) drive of full autonomy all the way from LA to New York...and have the car park itself.＂
However, even Tesla admits that there are problems to overcome — the software needs further confirmation and the appropriate regulatory (監(jiān)管的) approval needs to be in place. Indeed, recent crashes of Tesla vehicles and Google cars confirm that the software isn't ready yet.
The UK government appears determined to encourage the development of autonomous vehicles. It's supporting four city trials, publishing the Modern Transport Bill to reduce red tape around their introduction and adapting the legal system to take into account issues such as insurance liability when a human isn't in control of a vehicle.
The insurance industry is similarly keen to promote increasing autonomy in cars. As the Association of British Insurers (ABI) points out: ＂More than 90 per cent of road accidents are attributed to human errors.＂ This costs motor insurers a surprising 20 per day in claims.
（1）In Hodgson's opinion, what is the problem with the driverless cars?
A.Whether it is true that the faster you can remove humans, the better.
B.Who can explain why there are still a few accidents by driverless cars.
C.How to deal with the new causes of accidents resulting from driverless cars.
D.Whether to balance the number injured or killed with the people whose lives may be saved.
（2）Why is the insurance industry in favor of driverless cars?
A.Because they can make their insurers save money in claim.
B.Because it is drivers' errors that lead to over 90% road accidents.
C.Because human errors cost motor insurers a surprising 20 per day in claims.
D.Because motor insurers believe driverless cars will never cause any road accidents.
（3）Which is the best title of the passage?
A.The advantages of driverless cars.
B.The disadvantages of driverless cars.
C.Driverless cars in future.
D.The development of driverless cars.

【答案】
（1）D
（2）A
（3）C
【解析】本文談?wù)摕o人駕駛技術(shù)的開發(fā)和政府、企業(yè)及保險(xiǎn)業(yè)對(duì)無人駕駛技術(shù)研發(fā)的支持。
（1）細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第一段最后一句. It's a question of balancing the number injured or killed by autonomous vehicles with the people whose lives are potentially saved.＂可知霍奇森關(guān)心的問題是如何平衡自動(dòng)駕駛造成的死傷的數(shù)量與有可能被救的人之間的關(guān)系。故選D。
（2）推理判斷。根據(jù)最后一段中提到的More than 90 per cent of road accidents are attributed to human errors.可知90%的公路交通事故都是由人的錯(cuò)誤造成的，這使得保險(xiǎn)公司每天要索賠20英鎊。所以保險(xiǎn)公司支持無人駕駛是為了讓他們?cè)谒髻r中省錢，故選A。
（3）主旨大意。本文主要談?wù)摕o人駕駛技術(shù)的開發(fā)，也就是無人駕駛汽車的未來前景，故選C。

Ernie said quietly, “As a child until I left home at 18, Allan came into my room every night, gave me a kiss and said, ‘love you, son’.”

Tears came to my eyes as I realized what I had been a fool to judge Allan 【9】 a failure. He had not left any material 【10】 (possess) behind. But he had been a kind loving father, and left behind his best love.

【題目】閱讀理解
My father was always a good gardener. One of my earliest memories is standing without shoes in the freshly tilled (翻耕的) soil, my hands blackened from digging in the ground.
As a child, I loved following Dad around in the garden. I remember Dad pushing the tiller (耕作機(jī)) ahead in perfectly straight lines. Dad loved growing all sorts of things: yellow and green onions，watermelons almost as big as me, rows of yellow com, and our favorite—red tomatoes.
As I grew into a teenager, I didn't get so excited about gardening with Dad. Instead of magical land of possibility, it had turned into some kind of prison. As Dad grew older, his love for gardening never disappeared. After all the kids were grown and had started families of their own, Dad turned to gardening like never before. Even when he was diagnosed with cancer, he still took care of his garden.
But then, the cancer, bit by bit, invaded his body. I had to do the things he used to do. What really convinced me that Dad was dying was the state of his garden that year. The rows and rows of multicolored vegetables were gone. Too tired to weed them, he simply let them be.
For the first few years after he died, I couldn't even bear to look at anyone's garden without having strong memories pour over me like cold water from a bucket. Three years ago, I decided to plant my own garden and started out with just a few tomatoes. That morning, after breaking up a fair amount of soil, something caught the comer of my eye and I had to smile. It was my eight-year-old son Nathan, happily playing in the freshly tilled soil.

Snakes are just about the most frightening thing in the world, according to Dr. Henry Walton Jones Jr. The only thing (bad) than a snake you can see is a snake you can't see, however. And thanks the photos Sunshine Coast Snake Catchers offer, you can experience the latter horror from the comfort of almost anywhere else besides the placethat snake is.
The snake-like animals' removal(移動(dòng)) and relocation(serve) from Queensland, Australia posted a challenge to its 51,000 some-odd fans(find) the snake in the photo.
Any luck? The photo shows that this particular backyard seems likeregular ＂I Spy＂ book for snakes, so it's understandable if they are still looking hard. The snake is actually in the top right corner, (hide) in the crook(藤條) between the two fences.
Fear of snakes (call) ＂Ophidiophobia＂(蛇恐怖癥) or ＂being a rational person＂. People are afraid of a lot of odd things, though.
This fun little puzzle proves to just be further evidence that Australia is a(terrible) dangerous place where everything (try) to eat you. We'll just stick to trying to find turtles in flowers, thank you very much.

The findings of a recent survey suggests that students are not happy with multimedia approaches in education. They feel that they learn much effectively when traditional methods are used. The students interviewing said they thought the teacher played a important role in their learning. They found listening to the teacher, taking note, and using a textbook suitable for their age group really help them understand and remember the content of their lessons. They also found that answering questions that had been written on the board very helpfully. They valued the chance to carry practical, hands-on work, either.

Over forty per cent of Americans worry about losing eyesight，but it's easy to include steps into our daily life to ensure healthy eyes. Here are five suggestions for a lifetime of healthy eyesight：

As part of a healthy diet，eat more fruits and vegetables each day. Vitamins(維生素) C and E help protect eyesight and promote eye health.
Practise safe wear and care of contact lenses(隱形眼鏡)．Many Americans use contact lenses to improve their eyesight.
