But how will this technology change our lives when cars no longer need humans to drive them?“The most exciting thing about a self-driving car is not really the fact that you dont need to keep your hands on the steering wheel, For us ,its going to have a significant influence on mobility in our cities ,”said James Anderson, an expert on driverless transportation. Cars are now only being used about 5 percent of the time. Most of the time they are parked and using up valuable city space. In the future, a self-driving car could give you a ride to work in the morning. But then the same car could be used throughout the day to take other people around the city. This car-sharing model would blur(使模糊)the lines between private and public transportation. We could potentially share cars and rides better, using 20 percent of the cars we have today.Anderson said another major change could be the removal of traffic lights. “At that point, you could think about autonomous crossroads. At such crossroads vehicles dont need to stop, but they can keep going and simply avoid crashing into each other.”Even though driverless technology will lead to more effective transportation, Anderson said it would also leave questions about who will truly benefit. “Theres a whole crash economy that is dependent on the regular occurrence of automobile crashes.” He said job losses would come in the insurance industry and in hospitals where crash victims are treated. In addition,other driving-related jobs would be hurt. “A lot of those jobs are likely to disappear,” he said.25. What appeals to us most about a self-driving car A. More chances to get a free rideB. More convenience of parking carsC. Its major effects on mobility in citiesD. Its steering wheel without keeping hands on.26.What is discussed in the last paragraph about driverless technology?A. Job losses in some industriesB. Benefits from insurance companyC. Serious problems brought to hospitalsD. Possible unemployment for taxi drivers27. What is the authors attitude when he expresses his views?A. ConvincingB. ConfusedC. ConfidentD. CautiousCNikensons dad died when he was 3, and his mom often couldnt afford his school fees, so he got kicked out of school sometimes. But Nikenson would steal back onto the school grounds and stand outside the open classroom windows to listen, day after day. He studied on his own, keeping pace so that when his mom earned a few dollars, he could enter class again.Against all difficulties, Nikenson graduated from high school this year, first in his class, with straight As, and was elected class president. Nikenson is a reminder of the basic saying of life today: gift is universal, but opportunity is not.Fortunately, with the help of some American people, Nikenson is now receiving a university education. Hes benefiting from a program started by Bohan, a young American who was teaching in a Haitian high school. Bohan asked his family and friends to help other Haitians go to college. The program grew and became the Haitian Education and friends to help other Haitian go to college. The program grew and became the Haitian Education and Leadership Program, or HELP, sending hundreds of young men and women to Haitian universities.“Education works,” Bohan said simply. Good education works for everybody, everywhere. It worked for you, for me, and it works for Haitians.” “Over time, Ive coucluded that education may be the single best way to help people help themselves, whether in America or abroad. Yet, as a nation, we dont put enough money in education. So, in this holiday season, Id suggest a moment to raise a glass and celebrate those who spread the gift of education.”One clever new high school graduate, Elice, was working as a worker in a village and earning just $50 a month. HELP sent him to college to study industrial engineering, and he just graduated and found a job at a European company as an engineer for $1,500 a month“The only difference is his access to education,” said Bohan.28. Why was Nikenson not allowed to enter class sometimes?A. Because his father died at an early ageB. Because he often stole something in the schoolC. Because his family was too poor to afford school feesD. Because he liked standing outside the open classroom windows29. The underlined sentence in the second paragraph probably means A. chances are also important to gifted peopleB. wise people can succeed in everything they doC. gift is more necessary than opportunityD. in life people with gift dont need opportunity30. Whats the purpose of Bohan starting HELP?A. To collect money for poor AmericansB. To build more high school in HaitiC. To send poor American students to study abroadD. To help Haitians receive a university education31. According to the passage, Bohan thinks A. everyone should work for good educationB. education can make a big difference in lifeC. more people will spread the gift of education soonD. Elice ought to be one of the HELPs membersDPeople are twice as likely to live at least 10 years after being diagnosed with cancer than they were at the start of the 1970s, new research shows. More Than 170,000people in the UK who were diagnosed in the 1970s and 1980s are still alive. This is an “extraordinary” number, Macmillan Cancer Support said in its report, Cancer: Then and Now.The increase in long-term cancer survivors is due to more complex treatment combined with an ageing population, the charity said. But it acknowledged that there was still a huge variation in survival rates according to the type of cancer.However, it warned the consequences were increasing demand on the NHS (National Health Service英国国家医疗服务体系)，with more people living for longer with long-term side effects.Macmillan chief executive, Lynda Thomas, said: “More and more people are being diagnosed with cancer and, in general, having a more complex life with their cancer than perhaps they would have done. What we are now seeing is that a lot of people are coming in and out of treatment, so all of that does put pressure on the NHS.”And with the numbers of people living with cancer in the UK set to grow from 2.5 million people to four million by 2030, more people will need support, the charity(Macmillan)warned. Mrs. Thomas said: About one in four cancer patients will come out of cancer treatment with very serious side effects.”The challenge for medical professionals is to “keep up to speed” with the potential side effects, she said.Some 116,000 cancer patients last year in England did not have the potential long-term side effects from their cancer fully explained to them, she warned. “It does happen from time to time一we will meet patients who say, I had no idea this was going to happen,” she said.”I hope thats happening less and less now, particularly as professionals become better at explaining the consequences of treatment.32. The first paragraph serves as a(n) A. explanationB. commentC. conclusionD. background33. Which of the following is NOT true about cancer patients?A. They may receive complex treatmentB. They may suffer from different types of cancerC. They put great pressure on the National Health Service.D. They can recover from cancer without fewer side effects34. The medical professionals need to keep up to speed with the side effects in order to . .A. find better treatment B. help ease the pain of patientsC. better explain the consequences of treatment D. better prevent people from suffering from cancer35. What might be the best title for the passage?A. Medical Workers Have Found Better Treatment for Cancer B. People with Bad Habits Are More Likely to Suffer from Cancer C. The Government Has a Greater Burden to help Cancer PatientsD. Cancer Patients Can Survive but Suffer form side Effects of Treatment第二节（共5 小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项钟选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。Do you know that you have “body armour (防弹衣)”? Yes , you do 36 Here are three protective body parts and how they work.SkinYour skin might not feel much like the outside of an armoured tank, but it really give you a lot of protection. 37 Skin also protects our bones, muscles and insides by covering them up. Our skin may not be that tough when we touch it, but it can be very tough when it counts. Think about what happens when we fall: the skin may get scraped(擦伤)and become bruised，but it helps to keep our bones safe so that they dont break easily.Eyelashes （眼睫毛）and EyelidsThe little soft eyelashes attached to our eyelids are constantly working to blink （眨眼）away dust that would hurt our eyes. Our eyelashes and eyelids use reflex actions close when danger comes near. Actually if we had to tell our eyelids to close, we could not do it fast enough to offer any real protection for our eyes. When our eyes and brain notice something that might be dangerous, they use lightning fast reflexes to close. 38 39 This is a kind of body armour that is very useful, since the sun shines down on our heads all day. Without this covering of hair it would be ease for us to get sunburnt on top of our heads. 40 But most of us have lots of new ones that are replacing them.A. This protection keeps our eyes safe and sound.B. Do you know why the eyelids can protect our eyes?C. But you might not know how the armour works.D. Some of your personal armour might affect you.E. The hair on our heads protects our soft scalps(头皮).F. We lose about 50 individual hairs from our scalp every day.G. Our skin is the biggest organ in our entire body and it helps to keep us safe.第三部分 英语知识运用第一节：完形填空（共20题小题；每小题1.5分， 满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。A Few coinsI had been travelling on business all morning and was about to head home.
