Christianity was formally introduced with the arrival of missionaries(传教士）in August 1830. During the early 20th century the Samoan Islands were divided by Germany, Great Britain and the USA. Tutuila and Aunuu islands were claimed by the USA. The western islands became German Samoa. In 1914, New Zealand forces captured the islands from Germany, thus becoming Western Samoa. Western Samoa regained its independence on January 1, 1962.Samoans are notable in rugby. Despite its small population, the island of American Samoa produces disproportionately a large number of world-class American football players. Samoan Mosi Tatupu was a member of NFL team(全国橄榄球联盟）the New England Patriots. Samoan Troy Polamalu was a member of the NFL team the Pittsburgh Steelers until he retired after the 2014 football season.Traditional Samoan tattoo(纹身)proves the strong ties many Samoans feel for their culture. Samoans have practiced the art of tattooing for over 2,000 years. To this day, a mans tattoo widely covers from mid-back, down the sides, to the knees. A womans tattoo is not quite as wide or heavy. The geometric patterns are based on ancient designs, and often indicate rank and status.Here is the process of tattooing. The tattoo master dips his cutting tools into black ink made from burnt shells, and then punctures designs into the skin. The cutting tool consists of a short piece of bamboo or light wood with a piece of tortoiseshell bound at right angles at one end. A little bone comb is bound to the lower broad end of the tortoiseshell. The larger the comb, the greater the area on the skin is covered with fewer strokes. The process takes days, and is sometimes partially accomplished over longer periods, with recovery in between.58.From Paragraph 2 we can learn that_.A. Missionaries firstly introduced Christianity into Samoa in August of 1830B. Tutuila and Aunuu islands have ever been claimed by Great Britain in 1920C. Eastern and Western Samoa regained its independence in January of 1962D. Samoa has a history of being occupied by at least four developed countries59.The author introduced the sport item rugby in Samoa with a tone of _.A. dignityB. doubtC. respectD. sadness60.When talking about their culture, Samoan natives most probably agree that _A. a womans tattoo is quite heavy and not wideB. a mans tattoo covers from mid-chest to kneesC. Tattoo-receiving recovers slowly but necessarilyD. Tattoo patterns always indicate rank and genderCNEW cars that can control and brake themselves risk quieting people in the drivers seat into a false sense of security 一 and even to sleep.That was one surprising finding when researchers put Stanford University students in a simulated(模拟的）self-driving car to study how they reacted when their robo-chauffer needed help. The experiment was one in a growing number that assesses how cars can safely hand control back to a person when their self-driving software is at a loss.With some models already able to stay in their lane or keep a safe distance from other traffic, and automakers pushing for more automation, the car-to-driver handoff is a big open question. The elimination(消除）of distracted driving is a major selling point for the technology. But in the Stanford experiment, reading or watching a movie helped keep participants awake. The Stanford research suggests engaging people with media could help, while some automakers are marketing vehicles with limited self-driving features that will slow the car if they detect a person has stopped paving attention to the road. Though research is ongoing, it appears that people need at least 5 seconds to take over.Meanwhile, traditional automakers are advancing with the technology. Mercedes and Toyota sell cars that can hit the brakes and stay in their lane. By adding new features each year, they might produce a truly self-driving car in about a decade. One potential risk of this gradualist approach became clear this fall, when Tesla Motors had to explain that its auto pilot feature did not mean drivers could stop paying attention. Starting late next year, the Cadillac CTS will get a Super Cruise system, which will allow semi-autonomous highway driving. If the drivers eyes are off the road, and they dont respond to repeated urging, the car slows.We are in no way selling this as a technology where the driver can check out, General Motors spokesman Dan Flores said, You can relax, glance away, but you still have to be aware because you know the technologys not safe.One riddle automakers must solve: How to get owners to trust the technology so theyll use it but not trust it so much that theyll fall into a false sense of security. Trust was on the mind of researchers who in August published an extensive report on self-driving cars. Although this trust is essential for widespread adoption, participants were also observed prioritizing non-driving activities over the operation of the vehicle, the authors wrote. Another wide-open question: How to alert the person in the drivers seat of the need to take over. It appears that the car should appeal to several senses. Visual warnings alone may not be enough. 61. In the experiment, one disadvantage of the self-driving car is that in the drivers seats people _A. have a sense of security because of new technologyB. cant react immediately when they need helpC. are often distracted while driving the carD. like to read and watch a movie to keep awake62.What does the underlined word handoff in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. changeB. controlC. pullD. push63.From the passage, we can conclude that_A. the automakers are proud of the new cars for their technologyB. there are problems to solve in getting owners to trust the technologyC. automakers have already marketed cars with limited self-driving technologyD. traditional automakers rather than present ones are advancing with the technology64. The authors purpose of writing the passage is to_A. remind the readers of risks in the self-driving carB. advertise and market the new self-driving carC. get more participants to experiment in the self-driving carD. introduce the advanced technology in the self-driving carDGone with the Wind is a novel written by Margaret Mitchell, first published in 1936. It was popular with American readers from the onset and was the top American fiction bestseller in the year it was published and in 1937 on the row. As of 2014, a Harris poll found it to be the second favorite book of American readers, just behind the Bible. More than 30 million copies have been printed worldwide. The sales of Margaret Mitchells novel in the summer of 1936, at the virtually unprecedented price of three dollars, reached about one million by the end of December. Because it was released in the era of the Great Depression and Mitchell worried the high $3.00 price would ruin its chance for success. Actually the book was a bestseller by the time reviews began to appear in national magazines.Herschel Brickell, a critic for the New York Evening Post, praised Mitchell for the way she tosses out the window all the thousands of technical tricks our novelists have been playing with for the past twenty years.One criticism by literary scholar Patricia Yaeger, leveled at Gone with the Wind, is for its portrayal of African Americans in the 19th century South. Former field hands during the early days of Reconstruction are described behaving as creatures of small intelligence might naturally be expected to d
