But eight months ago our car was hit by a passing vehicle and it was destroyed. No problem, I thought: well buy another. But the insurance payout didnt even begin to cover the costs of buying a new carI worked out that, with the loan, wed need plus petrol, insurance, parking permits and tax, we would make a payment as much as 600 a month.And thats when I had my fancy idea. Why not just give up having a car at all? I live in London. We have a railway station behind our house, a tube station 10 minutes walk away, and a bus stop at the end of the street. A new car club had just opened in our area, and one of its shiny little red Peugeots was parked nearby. If any family in Britain could live without a car, I reasoned, then surely we were that family.But my new car-free idea, sadly, wasnt shared by my family. My teenage daughters were horrified. What would their friends think about our family being “too poor to afford a car”? (I wasnt that bothered what they thought, and I suggested the girls should take the same approach.)My friends, too, were astonished at our plan. What would happen if someone got seriously ill overnight and needed to go to hospital? (an ambulance) How would the children get to and from their many events? (buses and trains) People smiled as though this was another of my mad ideas, before saying they were sure Id soon realize that a car was a necessity.Eight months on, I wonder whether well ever own a car again. The idea that you “have to” own a car, especially if you live in a city, is all in the mind. I liveand many other citizens do tooin a place that has never been better served by public transport, and yet car ownership has never been higher. We worry about rising car costs, but wed be better off asking something much more basic: do I really need a car? Certainly the answer is no, and Im a lot richer because I dared to ask the question.4The author decided to live a car-free life partly because _.Amost families chose to go car-freeBhe was hurt in a terrible car accidentCthe cost of a new car was too muchDthe traffic jam was unbearable for him5What is the attitude of the authors family toward his plan?ASupportive. BDisapproving. COptimistic. DUnconcerned.6What did the author suggest his daughters do about their friends opinion?AArgue against it. BTake their advice. CThink it over. DLeave it alone.7What conclusion did the author draw after the eight-month car-free life?ALife cannot go without a car.BLife without a car is a little bit hard.CHis life gets improved without a car.DA car-free life does not suit everyone.CWhen you eat fish, you probably eat it off a plate, using a fork. Well, the dolphins in Shark Bay, Australia, eat their fish from conch（海螺）shells!Scientists have found some of these bottlenose dolphins（宽吻海豚）using their large beaks to trap fish in shells underwater. Then, carrying the shells to the surface, they shake out the fish into their mouths and eat them. Clearly, using the conch shells allows the dolphins to catch more fish than they would be able to without such a tool. The technique has been called “conching”.Researchers noticed dolphins engaging in the behavior a handful of times from 2007 to 2009. This dolphin trend seemed to become popular.Simon Allen, a scientist, was surprised to see the conching technique spreading. In the lasts four months alone, the research team have seen and photographed the behavior no less than six times, possibly even seven, he said in a press release. He thinks the dolphins may be learning conching from one another.Dolphins are known to be highly intelligent. The size of their brain is large in proportion（比例）to their body size. Compared with other animals, they have highly developed communication and social skills. This species of dolphin also uses other tools. They will break off pieces of sponges that grow in the ocean, for example, and use them to cover their beaks. This allows them to search for food on the ocean floor without hurting their noses.Scientists are going to keep trying to catch the dolphins in the act of conching. They hope to see evidence of the dolphins teaching one another the technique. They also want to know how the dolphins get fish in the conch shell. Do they push the fish into the shell with their beaks? Or do they chase the fish into the shell before carrying them up to eat?However they do it, Allen believes these dolphins to be particularly clever. I wouldnt be too surprised to find such cunning ploys being adopted by Shark Bays bottlenose dolphins, he said in statement.8The author develops the first paragraph by _.Atelling a story Bmaking n comparisonClisting some facts Doffering an explanation9The technique conching refers to the fact that _.Adolphins eat fish together with shellsBdolphins attract fish with the conch shellsCdolphins use shells to catch fish for foodDdolphins catch fish with their beaks10According to Allen, the conching technique _.Ais spreading among sea animals quicklyBhas just been noticed at most 7 timesCis sure to be learnt from one anotherDis becoming popular with dolphins11What might be the most suitable title for the passage?ADolphins play a trick on each otherBDolphins use shells as tools to catch foodCDolphins depend on tools to find foodDDolphins are the cleverest sea creatureDRobot Surgeon (外科医生) Succeeds without Help from Human DoctorsHumans make mistakes. Even surgeons with years of experience are not infallible. But what if these doctors could pool their knowledge and experience together and create a surgical standard of care, to be carried out by machines?Thats the idea behind surgical robots, which may soon perform most surgeries, from sewing up tiny wounds to performing heart procedures. Many of these operations are, in fact, already completed with the assistance of robots. But a recent test suggests that robots in the operating room may soon go a step further, performing on soft tissue completely on their own, from start to finish.The Smart Tissue Autonomous Robot (STAR), successfully completed surgeries on pigs. “Were the first group to develop autonomous robotic surgery with soft-tissue surgery, and when compared to standard operation, its better, ”says Peter Kim, professor of surgery. “The idea is not to replace surgeons; it will make the surgeons better and make the procedures safer.”A recent Mayo Clinic study found that major surgical errors-including operating on the wrong site or side of the body, or even leaving tools or objects inside the patient-occur every one out of 22, 000procedures. Thats rare, but robots like STAR would aim to lower the number even further.In the da Vinci surgical system, surgeons place their arms inside instruments and use their hands to control the movement of robotic tools on the operating table from afar. The robots every major move is controlled by surgeons, and thus its results may vary based on the surgeons training or experience.STAR, on the other hand, is entirely autonomous. Its not only able to work on its own and perform surgeries with a more flexible “hand”, but its able to react to the unexpected incidents. Cutting into hard tissue like bones is one thing, but operating on moving soft tissue is far more complex. STAR reacts to a changing environment, similar to how self-driving cars are programmed to not only drive on the highway, but also react to another driver making a mistake and getting in your way.12The underlined word “infallible” in Paragraph 1 probably means _.Aalways right Breally creative Crather responsible Dquite smart13We can learn from the passage that STAR _.Ahas been widely used in the operating room Bcan perform the operation on its ownCcan make surgeries much faster Dwill take the place of surgeons14In the da Vinci surgical system, _.Arobots are trained from afar Bsurgery results depend on surgeonsCrobots always make mistakes Dsurgeons have trouble controlling robots15In the last paragraph, the author mentions selfdriving cars in order to show _.Ahow bad getting in another drivers way might beBhow difficult selfdriving on the highway isChow smart an autonomous robot can beDhow dangerous operating on people is.第二节 (共5小题 ;每小题 2分 ,满分10分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项（选项中有两项为多余选项），并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Leading a healthy life doesnt only mean going to the gym and working out.
