These drivers know all too well how bad the traffic can be. “Therere too many cars, and you cant move around a lot.”Professor Cyrus Shahabi also knows about traffic jams. He lives more than 65 kilometers from his office at the University of Southern California, in Los Angeles. He is always late even with the help of a navigation (导航) system.He decided to develop a program called ClearPath for that. He says his program uses historical data to predict traffic conditions even before the driver leaves the house. “Whats unique (独特的) is that we use a lot of data thats currently become available including traffic data, weather data, and we analyze that so that we can predict whats going to happen in front of you when leave home.”Professor Shahabi says his system does more than just answer current traffic conditions. With ClearPath, he says, a driver can decide what time he wants to leave, and ClearPath will give the fastest route. It looks at the entire road network, including surface streets as well as highways, before the driver hits the road. Professor Shahabi hopes to have ClearPath available nationwide and overseas once they can collect traffic data from other cities.“I always thought that Los Angeles had the worst traffic, but now I know that Shanghai, Beijing, Seoul, Tokyo, believe it or not, Singapore, Hong Kong certainly are examples that can immediately use this.”Professor Shahabi hopes to share this new technology with companies that already have navigation systems, such as Google and Apple.21Drivers in Los Angeles were mentioned in order to_.A. show care for them B. introduce their lifeC. solve traffic problems D.raise the topic22What is unique about ClearPath?A. It helps drivers know the road conditions ahead of time.B. It can make sure that you will never be late for work.C. It helps drivers see clearly what happens on the road.D. It can use a lot of information and data all over the world.23The underlined word “ hits” in the fourth paragraph probably means _.A. has accident B. gets toC. turns left or right D. collects traffic data24Whats Professor Shahabis attitude toward his invention?A. Proud. B. Worried. C. Disappointed. D. Optimistic.BEvery man wants his son to be somewhat of a clone, not in features but in footsteps. As he grows you also age, and your ambitions become more unachievable. You begin to realize that your boy, in your footsteps, could probably accomplish what you hoped for. But footsteps can be muddied and they can go off in different directions.My son Jody has hated school since day one in kindergarten. Science projects waited until the last moment. Book reports werent written until the final threat.Ive been a newspaperman all my adult life. My daughter is a university graduate working toward her masters degree in English. But Jody? When he entered the tenth grade he became a “vo-tech” student(技校学生). Theyre called “motorheads” by the rest of the student body.When a secretary in my office first called him “motorhead”, I was shocked. “Hey, hes a good kid,” I wanted to say. “And smart, really.”I learned later that motorheads are, indeed, different. They usually have dirty hands and wear dirty work clothes. And they dont often make school honor rolls(光荣榜).But being the parent of a motorhead is itself an experience in education. We who labor in clean shirts in offices dont have the abilities that motorheads have. I began to learn this when I had my car crashed. The cost to repair it was estimated at $800. “Hey, I can fix it,” said Jody. I doubted it , but let him go ahead, for I had nothing to lose.My son ,with other motorheads, fixed the car. They got parts(零件）from a junkyard, non-toasting toaster have been fixed. Neighbours and co-workers trust their car repair to him.Since that first repair job, a broken air-conditioner, a non-functioning washer and a non-toasting toaster have been fixed. Neighbors and co-workers trust their car repairs to him.These kids are happiest when doing repairs. They joke and laugh and are living in their own relaxed world. And their minds are bright despite their dirty hands and clothes.I have learned a lot from my motorhead: publishers need printers, engineers need mechanics, and architects need builders. Most important, I have learned that fathers dont need clones in footsteps or anywhere else.My son may never make the school honor roll. But he made mine.25What used to be the authors hope for his son?A. To avoid becoming his clone. B. To resemble him in appearance.C. To develop in a different direction. D. To reach the authors unachieved goals.26What can we learn about the authors children?A. His daughter does better in school. B.His daughter has got a masters degree.C. His son tried hard to finish homework. D. His son couldnt write his book reports.27The author let his son repair the car because he believed that_.A. His son had the ability to fix it. B. it would save him much time.C. it wouldnt cause him any more loss D. other motorheads would come to help.28What did the author realize in the end?A. It is unwise to expect your child to follow your path.B. It is important for one to make the honor roll.C. Architects play a more important role than builders.D. Motorheads have greater ability than office workers.CWhile it is impossible to live completely free of stress, it is possible to prevent stress as well as reduce its effect when it cant be avoided. The US Department of Health and Human Services offers the following suggestions for ways to deal with stress.Try physical activityWhen you are nervous, angry or upset, try releasing the pressure through exercise or physical activity. Running, walking, playing tennis, or working in your garden are just some of the activities you might try. Physical exercise will relieve your anxiety and worry and help you to relax. Your body and your mind will work together to ease the stress in your life.Share your stressIt helps to talk to someone about your anxieties and worries. Perhaps a friend, family member, teacher or even your leader can help you a better view of whats troubling you. If you feel your problem is serious, you might seek professional help from a psychologist or a doctor. Knowing when to ask for help is an important step in avoiding serious problems later.Take care of yourselfYou should make every effort to eat well and get enough rest. If you easily get angry and cannot sleep well enough, or if youre not eating properly, it will be more likely that you will fall into stressful situations. If stress repeatedly keeps you from sleeping, you should consult a doctor. Make time for yourself.Make a list of the things you need to doStress can result from disorganization and a feeling that theres so much to do, and not enough time. Trying to take care of everything at once can be too much for you and as a result, you may not achieve anything. Instead, make a list of everything you have to do, then do one thing at a time, checking off each task as it is completed. Set out to do the most important tasks first.Go ahead and cryA good cry can be a healthy way to bring relief to your anxiety. It might even help you avoid a headache or other physical effect of anxiety and stress.29What is most probably the writers purpose in writing the article?A. To release his or her working tiredness.B.

Quietness wins timeDLast Christmas, when I was in the fourth grade and my brother was in the first grade, our school held its yearly Holiday Shop. At the Holiday Shop students can buy things like necklaces, key chains, and other small items for their friends and family as Christmas gifts. Since my brother really wanted to take part, my mom gave him two dollars to buy his Christmas gifts.My mom didnt know that he had picked out a special necklace for her. When he got home from the Holiday Shop that day, he couldnt wait to show it to me. He pulled out a little green box and opened it. Inside was a gold chain with a little red flower and a man-made diamond next to gold letters that spelled out,“Grandmother”.“Wow,” I said.“Its beautiful.” Since my brother was in the first grade and was just learning to read, he didnt realize that the necklace said “Grandmother” instead of “Mother”. I knew that on Christmas morning, when he found out he had bought the wrong necklace, he would be very unhappy, so I said nothing more about it. My brother ran and put the necklace under his bed to hide it from Mom until Christmas morning.When he wasnt looking, I took the necklace and put it in my backpack. The next day I took it back to school and asked the woman who ran the Holiday Shop if I could change it for the “Mother” necklace. She said yes. When I got home that day, I put the necklace under my brothers bed.When my mom opened it up on Christmas morning, my brother was soexalted! My moms eyes were filled with joy.

The real goals include getting exercise, having fun, and learning important social skills, like good sportsmanship.Good sportsmanship is all about respect. Good sports (具有运动家品格的人) respect the other players on their team. They respect the players on opposing teams. They respect their coaches, and they also respect the referees or other officials involved in their games.36 They yell at their teammates and they talk back to coaches or referees.Kids usually learn sportsmanship good and bad from the adults in their lives.37 If parents and coaches show disrespect to other fans, referees, or each other, kids will likely act the same way on the field.38 Some of them are very basic and easy to do, like shaking hands with other players before a game. Other examples may take a little more courage, such as acknowledging a great play made by the opposing team.Learning good sportsmanship is important because it helps you develop an attitude of graciousness (礼貌) and respect that will carry over into all the other areas of your life._39 Being a good sport in the classroom will eventually lead to being a good sport in the workplace.So be a good sport in whatever you do！40_ When others see you acting in a way that makes it clear that winning isnt the most important thing, you can move on to focusing on the important things, like having fun, getting exercise, and improving your skills!AGood sportsmanship can be shown in many ways.BOn the contrary, bad sportsmanship is all about disrespect.CThe example you set can be a powerful teaching tool for others.DPlayers parents and coaches set examples that kids tend to follow.EWe can be good sports by encouraging others but not laughing at them.FStarting as a good sport earlier will help you be a good sport as you get old.GIf youre a good sport on the field, youll also likely be a good sport in the classroom.第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1. 5分，满分30分）t was 1952 and my father was away at war, leaving my mother and me behind to face hardship alone.
