Module 2A Job Worth Doing.阅读理解阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。A(2017课标全国,D)The Intelligent Transport team at Newcastle University have turned an electric car into a mobile laboratory named “DriveLAB” in order to understand the challenges faced by older drivers and to discover where the key stress points are.Research shows that giving up driving is one of the key reasons for a fall in health and well-being among older people, leading to them becoming more isolated(隔绝) and inactive. Led by Professor Phil Blythe, the Newcastle team are developing in-vehicle technologies for older drivers which they hope could help them to continue driving into later life.These include custom-made navigation(导航) tools, night vision systems and intelligent speed adaptations. Phil Blythe explains:“For many older people, particularly those living alone or in the country, driving is important for preserving their independence, giving them the freedom to get out and about without having to rely on others.”“But we all have to accept that as we get older our reactions slow down and this often results in people avoiding any potentially challenging driving conditions and losing confidence in their driving skills. The result is that people stop driving before they really need to.”Dr Amy Guo, the leading researcher on the older driver study, explains: “The DriveLAB is helping us to understand what the key stress points and difficulties are for older drivers and how we might use technology to address these problems.”“For example, most of us would expect older drivers always go slower than everyone else but surprisingly, we found that in 30mph zones they struggled to keep at a constant speed and so were more likely to break the speed limit and be at risk of getting fined. Were looking at the benefits of systems which control their speed as a way of preventing that.”“We hope that our work will help with technological solutions(解决方案) to ensure that older drivers stay safer behind the wheel.”1.What is the purpose of the DriveLAB?A.To explore new means of transport.B.To design new types of cars.C.To find out older drivers problems.D.To teach people traffic rules.2.Why is driving important for older people according to Phil Blythe?A.It keeps them independent.B.It helps them save time.C.It builds up their strength.D.It cures their mental illnesses.3.What do researchers hope to do for older drivers?A.Improve their driving skills.B.Develop driver-assist technologies.C.Provide tips on repairing their cars.D.Organize regular physical checkups.4.What is the best title for the text?A.A New Model Electric CarB.A Solution to Traffic ProblemsC.Driving Services for EldersD.Keeping Older Drivers on the RoadB(2017山东青岛二模,A)“Oh, my god. Are you serious?”Thats a reaction I often get when people hear the tale of my childhood.Its a story I dont often share. Growing up in a bad home, I learned to protect myself by not speaking up. Ive seldom said anything about how badly I was treated and hurt as a child.I dont talk about how my name was changed at least three times, what it was like to live in my van(箱式货车),or how Ive struggled with anxiety, depression, and wanting to kill myself.But I learned to start speaking up for myself. I went on to earn two graduate degrees and I will complete my Doctors degree this year. Ive also become a widely published author. So, how did I get to where I am today?Whats helped me is surrounding myself with caring, loving people. Ive learned day-to-day skills through research, trial and error, and with the help of skilled professionals.Theyve taught me how to slow down, to breathe, to be thankful for what Ive got.

Ive worried about how I might be treated differently.Pain and fear teach us to be silent. Its time for that to change.I dont know what tomorrow might bring. But one thing Ive learned is that if we can hold on and find help, if we find ways to get through the day and speak up, well not only survive, but become stronger than before.Our very survival can be an inspiration all on its own.
