Need for water will increase ten times between now and 2050 and there will be serious shortages(短缺).In transportation, computers will control the speed of the cars and there wont be any accidents. Today, many cars have computers that tell drivers exactly where they are. By 2050, the computer will control the car and drive it to where you want to go.

Then we waited for the ants to arrive.After the ants were in the glass farm, they started to make tunnels（地道）. I was amazed that each one knew exactly what to do. Each had its own job.On the fifth day a tragedy（悲剧）happened. I put my face so close to the glass farm that I knocked it over. All the tunnels fell down. Although the ants remained alive after their earthquake, one by one they began to die. I was scared as I watched them give up building their tunnels to carry the bodies to a corner of the farm.My mother said that the ants were dying of sadness. They simply could not stand that their tunnels were gone.Although much time has passed, I still think of that ant farm. Mom had hoped it would teach me about the natural world, but it taught me much more.Over the years, I came to realize the importance of teamwork. Working together, the ants were able to make an amazing world for themselves. I also learned that they should be admired（钦佩）for their hard work.But there was an even larger lesson that I did not realize until recently: Adversity（逆境）is a natural part of life, and must be accepted. Unlike the ants, we cannot give up when we are sad. We have to realize that if a tunnel is gone, we must build another.Giving up, I say, is not a good choice.（1） What did the writers family do for him when he was seven?A . They built a farm of ants.B . They bought a few ants.C . They caught a lot of ants.D . They found an ant city.（2）Which statement is WRONG according to the passage?A .

Like people, teamwork is very important for the ants.D . Giving up isnt a good way when we meet trouble.（3）Among the following events, which one happened first?A . All the tunnels fell down.B . The ants died one by one.C . The ants got into the glass box.D . The ants began making tunnels.（4）What did the writer learn from the ant tragedy a few years later?A . Working together is useless.B . Teamwork is important.C . He cant accept adversity.D . Working alone is amazing.（5）What is the best title for the passage?A . Ants Fear AdversityB . My Family and AntsC . Giving Up in AdversityD . Dont give up anytime15. （8分）阅读理解What would the world be like if cars could drive themselves? Imagine seeing an empty car passing by on its way to pick up its owner, or a car full of passengers who are reading, listening to music or even sleeping, but none of them are worried about the road ahead.Well, all of this could be the future of driving. There are several companies, including Google, working on driverless (无人驾驶的) cars, which are currently in the testing stages. If the tests are successful, these electric, self-driven cars could be available very soon. But, how is it possible for a car to drive itself?Cars already have many features allowing them to take over for drivers in certain situations. Some features include cars being able to park themselves, or slow down when they detect objects (物体) close by. They can also control the speed if there are dangerous conditions, such as snow or slippery (滑的) roads.Other features have also changed the way drivers react to some situations. Scientists and engineers believe, with the help of wireless signals, cameras and GPS, we are now at a stage where creatinga safe self-driving car might be possible.The self-driven car may be the answer to lowering the number of deadly (致命的) accidents caused by careless drivers or dangerous conditions. However, there are still some people who do not like the idea. American lawyer Whit Drake, for example, doesnt believe these cars are safe. He thinks the possibility of the technology making a mistake will be too high.（1）What does the underlined phrase “take over for” in Paragraph 3 mean?A . direct the way forB . take the place ofC . work better thanD . make use of（2）Cars already have the following features EXCEPT _.A . parking itselfB . controlling its speed in dangerous situationsC . slowing itself down near an objectD . avoiding car accidents one hundred percent（3）Scientists and engineers think that _.A . its possible to make safe self-driven carsB . its a long way for self-driven carsC . there will be no drivers in the futureD . self-driven cars may cause more accidents（4）What does the article mainly talk about?A . Advantages of self-driven cars.B . Different opinions on self-driven cars.C . Possibilities of self-driven cars.D . Googles new technologyself-driven cars.四、 词汇运用。 (共2题；共11分)16. （10分）阅读下面短文，根据短文内容，从方框中选出恰当的单词，将其正确形式填入短文空白处。(每词限用一次)what, pull, another, with, some, find,still, decide, success, teacherA professor(教授) told his students to go into the city slums(贫民窟) to study the life of 200 boys.
