It was a snake skin that had been shed by one of our many garden snakes.“Isnt it beautiful?” said my wide-eyed seven-year-old.I stared at the organic wrapper and thought to myself that it really wasnt that beautiful, but I have learned never to appear uninterested with children. They see only good quality and excellence in the world until educated otherwise.“Why does it do this?” Sarah asked.“Snakes shed their skin because they need to renew themselves,” I explained. “Why do they need to renew themselves?” Sarah asked.I suddenly remembered an article on this page many years ago where the writer was expressing her concept of renewal. She used layers of paper over a wall to describe how we hide our original selves, and said that by peeling away those layers one by one, we see the original beneath. “We often need to shed our skins and those coatings that we cover ourselves with,” I said to my now absorbed daughter. “We outgrow some things and find other ones unwanted or unnecessary. This snake no longer needs this skin. It is probably too crinkly（起皱的）for him, and he probably doesnt think he looks as smart in it as he once did.”Sarah was getting the point. As we talked, I knew that she began to understand, although slightly, that renewal is part of progress; that we need to take a good look at ourselves, our rooms, schoolwork and creativity, and see what we need to keep and what we need to cast off. I was careful to point out that this is a natural consequence of their growth.“I see, Dad,” said Sarah and jumped off my lap and ran off.I hoped she would remember this. That often, in order to find our real selves underneath the layers of community and culture with which we cover ourselves year after year, we need to start examining these layers. We need to gently peel some away, as we recognize them to be worthless or unnecessary; or at best, store the ones thrown away as mementoes（念想）of our promotion to a better vitality or spirit. 56. At the first sight of the snake skin, the author was .A. scared B. puzzled C. uninterested D. excited57. Sarah learned from her father that renewal is .A. to recover the layers insideB. to review what has been doneC. a natural part of getting matureD. the process of finding the unwanted 58. It can be inferred from the passage that the author _.A. dislikes the snake skin at allB. shows concern for nature and culture C. can grasp the chance to educate children D. often encourages his daughter to raise questions59. The author mainly tells the reader that _. A. snakes cast off the layers to look smarter B. we should renew ourselves to get improvedC. snakes shed their skins to renew themselvesD. we should explore our original nature underneathCEven as Google plans to test its fleet(车队)of self-driving cars on public roads this summer, its business model remains a bit of a mystery. By 2025, as many as 250,000 self-driving vehicles could be sold each year globally, according to a study by an industry research firm.“Vehicles that can take anyone from A to B at the push of a button could transform mobility for millions of people,” said Chris Urmson, director of Googles self-driving car project. For now, Google has no plans to sell any of its self-driving cars. They are strictly for research. But they will hit public roads this summer near Googles headquarters in Mountain View, California. Previous testing has taken place only on closed courses.The cars are built to operate without a steering wheel, accelerator(油门) or brake pedal. “Our software and sensors do all the work,” Urmson said. “The vehicles will be very basicwe want to learn from them and adapt them as quickly as possiblebut they will take you where you want to go at the push of a button.” The prototypes(雏形) are the first of a 100-car fleet the tech giant is building.In the long run, Urmson sees a future of safer roadsthe majority of auto accidents are caused by human errorand fewer traffic jams. Robotic cars could also shuttle people who cant drive because of age or illness.Google has said that self-driving cars could launch new business models in which people buy the use of vehicles they dont own. The company has already tested other types of self-driving cars on public streets, including modified Lexus sport-utility vehicles, under a special permit program by the California Department of Motor Vehicles that requires a human driver at the controls. The state has issued six other companies permits to operate such cars, including Delphi, Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen, Tesla, Bosch and Nissan. The vehicles that will be tested on open roads this summer will have removable steering wheels, accelerator and brake pedals to allow “safety drivers” to take control if needed.Google says the cars are safe. The vehicles have sensors that “can detect objects out to a distance of more than two football fields in all directions, which is especially helpful on busy streets with lots of intersections,” Urmson said. “Were looking forward to learning how the community understands and interacts with the vehicles, and to uncovering challenges that are unique to a fully self-driving vehicle,” Urmson said. 60. The passage informs us that self-driving cars _.A. will probably decrease traffic jamsB. have already passed necessary testsC.have been purchased by some companiesD. will be able to communicate with drivers61. According to Chris Urmson, _.A. software and sensors are vital for self-driving carsB. self-driving cars can give driving orders to humansC. self-driving cars are specially designed for the elderlyD. ordinary vehicles will be replaced by self-driving cars62. The underlined word “intersection” in the last paragraph probably means .A.accidents B.buildings C.crossings D. vehicles63. What is the best title for this passage?A. Self-driving Car Avoids Human Errors B. Self-driving Car Meets New ChallengesC. Googles Self-driving Car Enjoys Global PopularityD. Googles Self-driving Car Graduates to City Streets第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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。Do Actions Speak Louder than Words? Our society is fast paced. We are all rushing from one place to the next, blowing our horn at slow drivers who may be singing songs in the car with their children or pointing out some interesting sights. We dont have time for that silliness today. But we try to say to ourselves that we will make time for fun tomorrow. It is time to take a few deep breaths and think about our actions and our words. _64_ Have you ever really thought about the saying “Actions speak louder than words”? Think about it now. If you say one thing and act in an opposite way, will the words be ignored and just the actions remembered? I dont think so. _65_ It is also equally important to use words to show appreciation, love, approval and happiness and then follow those words with a hug, pat on the back or smile. _66_ What about that saying? True? Yes! Words carry a lot of weight and will be remembered for years especially when they are written down. Mean words can hurt for that moment and for a lifetime. I am sure that each of us remembers a time when a friend made an unkind comment. _67_ Lets not be a member of that “club”. When was the last time that you hid a love note in a lunch box or in your mates coat pocket? If you want to see a bright smile, that will do it! The power of this written note will be remembered for many days, even years. “I can live for two months on a good compliment(夸奖)”, said Mark Twain. Children grow stronger when they feel appreciated and understood. _68_ A perfect way to turn a bad day around is to praise your child. “I noticed that your hair looked very nice today.” “Did you hang your coat up all by yourself?” It is amazing how those few words can change a childs outlook. almost immediately. Dont stop there. One of my sisters ended a phone conversation with three words “I love you”! Boy, that put a spring in my step! Mark Twain is right. I still feel the positive effect of those three little but very powerful words. A. The pen is more powerful than the sword. B. Is it really reasonable to do something like that?C. Do they display the attitude that we want to convey?D. It is important to have your words match your actions.E. Behavior is a mirror in which everyone shows his image.F. Those words did lasting damage to you, the relationship or both. G. Dont be afraid to shower your child with encouraging words all day long. (本小节答案填涂
