13、l police enforcement (强制执行) and town budgets without all those speeding and parking tickets.A new technology has the potential to change modern society thoroughly. Theres no question that self-driving vehicles could be an enormous benefit. The potential for safer cars means accident statistics would

14、 drop: some 94% of road accidents in the U.S. involve human error. Older drivers and visually- or physically-disabled people would gain a new level of freedom. Maintaining safe speeds and being electric, self-driving cars would sharply reduce pollution levels and dependency on non-renewable fuels. R

15、oads would be quieter, people safer.But we must also consider the impact of the new technology on those who now depend on driving for their living. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, in May 2015 there were 505,560 registered school bus drivers. The American Trucking Association lists approxi

16、mately 3.5 million professional truck drivers in the U.S. The companies developing self-driving vehicles should be partnering with state and federal authorities to offer retraining for this massive workforce, many of whom will be displaced by the new technology.New technologies will, and should, be

17、developed. This is how society moves forward. However, progress cant be one-sided. It is necessary for the companies and state agencies involved to consider the moral consequences of these potential changes to build a better future for all. 1、What would be the effect of the wide use of driverless ca

Marley understood that part of the reason why there are so many problems in the world is the lack of tolerance between people. The UN understands t

30、his toothats why it made Nov 16 “International Day for Tolerance”.But first of all, what is tolerance? French philosopher Voltaire (16941778) can give us some help. According to him, tolerance “is the consequence of humanity. We are all formed of frailty (脆弱) and error; let us pardon each others fol

31、lythat is the first law of nature.”Nobodys perfect. When were tempted to criticize another person, we should perhaps remember our own imperfections first.Very often, people dont realize that theyre intolerant. This is because intolerance has a lot to do with ignorance. For example, the UNs campaign

32、is in part about the treatment of females by males. But often, the behavior of men toward women is intolerant because men dont put themselves in the shoes of women.Its worth thinking a little about the words “tolerance” and “intolerance”. Are they the best words to describe the evils of which were s

33、peaking here? To agree to be “tolerant” of someone isnt necessarily a very respectful thing. When someone is tolerated, it implies that theres something wrong with them.But it seems wrong that people should agree to “tolerate” people with black skin, for example. And should women think they have rec

34、eived the respect they are due when men agree to “tolerate” them?Still, what Voltaire said stands: We humans are not perfect and this weakness is something that we all share. Thats the reason we should be tolerant.Its a little like generosity. We can give things to another person, and we can also gi

35、ve our forgiveness. Bob Marley understood this. In the song mentioned above, he advised: “Write your love on a rock so it stays for eternity; write your hate in the sand so the waves will wash it away.”1、According to Voltaire, tolerance is _.Abeing willing to express your love to othersBtrying to ov

36、ercome your imperfectionsCgiving a hand to vulnerable groups (弱势群体)Daccepting each others weaknesses2、Why are people usually unaware of their intolerance, according to the article?AThey are used to finding faults.BThey consider tolerance a kind of frailty.CThey dont see things from the angle of othe

37、rs.DThey are intolerant of themselves too.3、In what sense is “tolerance” similar to “generosity”?AHumans are advised to treat others better.BHumans learned to find faults in others.CHumans need to give something to others.DHumans will change their attitudes to others.4、The underlined word “this” in

38、the last paragraph refers to _.Agiving things to othersBforgiving othersCdifferent attitudes toward love and hateDthe fact that humans are imperfect5、Whats the text mainly about?AThe origin of the International Day of Tolerance.BThe meaning and importance of tolerance.CThe philosophy behind Bob Marl

39、eys song.DEffective ways to show tolerance.24（8分） A large body of research has been developed in recent years to explain many aspects of willpower. Most of the researchers exploring self-control do so with an obvious goal in mind: How can willpower be strengthened? If willpower is truly a limited re

40、source, as the research suggests, what can be done to make it stay strong?Avoiding temptation (诱惑) is an effective method for maintaining self-control, which is called the “out of sight, out of mind” principle. One recent study, for instance, found office workers less attracted to candy in the desk

41、drawer than that on top of their desks, in plain sight.The research suggesting that we possess a limited reservoir of self-control raises a troubling question. When we face too many temptations, are we to fail? Not necessarily. Researchers dont believe that ones willpower is ever completely exhauste

42、d. Rather, people appear to hold some willpower in reserve, saved for future demands. The right motivation allows us to tap into those reserves, allowing us to carry on even when our self-control strength has been run down. High motivation might help overcome weakened willpower-at least to a point.W

43、illpower may also be made less vulnerable（脆弱）to being exhausted in the first place. Researchers who study self-control often describe it as being like a muscle that gets tired with heavy use. But there is another aspect to the muscle comparison, they say. While muscles become exhausted by exercise i

44、n the short term, they are strengthened by regular exercise in the long term. Similarly, regular practices of self-control may improve willpower strength.The evidence from willpower-exhaustion studies also suggests that making a list of resolutions on New Years Eve is the worst possible approach. Be

45、ing exhausted in one area can reduce willpower in other areas, so it makes more sense to focus on a single goal at a time. In other words, dont try to quit smoking, adopt a healthy diet and start a new exercise plan at the same time. Taking goals one by one is a better approach. Once a good habit is

46、 in place, Baumeister says, youll no longer need to draw on your willpower to maintain the behavior. Eventually healthy habits will become routine, and wont require making decisions at all.1、From the studies in the passage we learn that .Apeople have unlimited self-controlBhigh motivation ensures on

47、es successCwillpower is hardly completely exhaustedDtoo many temptations often lead to failure2、The underlined phrase “tap into” in Paragraph 3 most probably means .Amake use ofBrun out ofCbuildDincrease3、The author compares self control to muscles .Ato prove the long-term effect of willpowerBto sho

49、 will read an English novel every month.”D“I will keep myself from any temptation.”25（10分） That competition keeps prices down is well known. But it is hard to measure by just how much, because prices vary for all sorts of reasons, from differences in labour costs and rents to taxes. Rising to the ch

50、allenge is a new paper in The Economic Journal by Giacomo Calzolari, Andrea Ichino, Francesco Manaresi and Viki Nellas, economists at the European University Institute, Bologna University and the Italian central bank. They looked at pharmacies(药房) and specifically at customers who may be particularl

51、y easy to rip off: new parents.Using data for 2007 to 2010 covering about a fifth of pharmacies in Italy, the researchers measured the way in which prices of hygiene products for babies changed as the number of babies varied. They took advantage of a peculiar law from the 1960s, according to which r

52、egions with at most 7,500 people are allowed just one pharmacy (supposedly to keep the quality of services high). They compared prices in places with populations just below this threshold, and just above.The products studied included some 3,000 varieties of shampoos, bath foams, baby wipes, creams a

53、nd so on. Many are also used by adults on themselves. Some people, for example, prefer sun-cream labeled “for children” because of its high level of protection. When raising prices for these products, even a pharmacist with a monopoly(垄断) must consider the risk that adult users will switch to produc

54、ts that are not aimed at children. But a rise in the number of babies, and hence buyers who are parents, could tip the scales towards price increases. By contrast, the pharmacist should already be charging as much as parents are willing to pay for products without adult users, such as nappies.The sc

55、holars found that pharmacists raised prices when there were more new parents-but only in regions with a single pharmacy, and not for nappies. In monopoly areas a doubling of the number of babies from one month to the next (not unusual in a small population) coincided with a 5% increase in the price

56、of the basket of baby-hygiene products.The study is timely. Italys government has started to loosen some of the many restrictions that stop competition in the pharmacy sector (though not yet the one that the researchers relied on). But such regulations are plentiful in many other lines of business,

57、and not just in Italy. The consumers who pay the price are often those who find it hardest to travel to shop around-for example, people with crying babies on their hands.1、Whats the purpose of the study?ATo review the function of the special law for pharmacies.BTo make clear the relation between com
