One thing I knew about Colombia before I came was the coffee. I drank it every day while dreaming about South American adventures in my cold, wet hometown of England. What I wasnt prepared for was the beauty there. Even the bus ride was a pleasure. I never thought I would say like this in South America. The landscape was so unexpected, I didnt imagine Colombia to have this much beauty. There lay fresh mountain waterfalls as well as luminous green hills at every turn, it was so amazing! Bogota was my next stop. In the beginning, I thought it was a boring city with nothing different from any other. Then I opened my eyes and my heart. It attracted me. The smiles from the locals were infectious(有感染力的), love poured from their hearts. For me, Bogota and the Colombian people changed my view on everything. I took a walk alone one night to pick up some goods. It was dark, and I was in a strange neighborhood.Yet all I could think about was how safe I felt, I almost felt like I was in my local town. People smiled and carried on with their own business. I walked more slowly and stayed for longer, that moment, I knew I had to change foreigners opinion on Colombia. Thinking about the last month in Colombia, I couldnt believe how much I had fallen in love with it.

Here is one of his cases. Stapleton, Charles younger brother, found that he would inherit (继承) the Baskerville lands if Charles and his nephew(侄子) -Henry both died. Charles who had a weak heart believed super natural stories. After knowing this, Stapleton had the idea of buying a huge hound, and of using the phosphorus(磷) to make it shine like the hound in one story. Then Stapleton asked his friend Laura to write a letter to bring Charles to the moor gate on that sad night. The hound, which was shining with phosphorus, chased Charles down the Yew Alley. Charles fear was so great that his weak heart stopped, and he died but the animal did not touch the dead body. There was no sign of murder. It was difficult for Holmes to fine the murderer. Two weeks later, Stapleton learned that Henry had reached England. He took his wife and the hound with him. He wore a false beard and followed Henry in London. He wanted to use the same way to murder Henry there. He needed something to give the hound Henrys smell, so he paid a woman at Henrys hotel to steal one of his shoes. The first one was a new one, which was no use for the hound, so it was put back. And then another older shoe was stolen. Before he was ready to murder Henry, he wasnt sure if his wife would keep his secret, so he did not tell her the truth. He locked her up in their hotel. She knew that he must have some evil plans. She sent Henry a letter which was made of words cut from a newspaper. After receiving the letter, Henry realized he was in great danger and it must have something to do with his uncle Charles death.

Jerry Brown on Tuesday signed a law for driverless cars to travel on public roadways, showing once again that Left Coast has a way of making car-makers develop faster. It is not that smart minds in Japan and Germany arent already working on driverless cars. But with most new technologies, engineers want to make sure that they are safe enough before large production. The California law will allow them to travel on the states roadways if there is an experienced driver sitting in the driving seat to take over if needed. “Today, were looking at science fiction becoming tomorrows reality,” Gov. Brown said during a news conference at Googles headquarters. “This driverless car is another step forward in this long march of California and leading not just the country, but the whole world.”The state often uses stricter laws to control greenhouse gases and global warming, which was strongly against by most car-makers in other states, saying it would be impractical for each state to make its own fuel standards. However, the U.S. EPA(环境保护署) sided with California . At last all sides reached an agreement, but the push from California undoubtedly influenced the EPAs sharply higher fuel standards, which require car-makers to achieve an average of 54.5 miles per gallon by 2025.When it comes to driverless cars, California is actually the third state to authorize(批准) them, behind Nevada and Florida. But by far it is the most influential. “Its meaningful because California is a big state , a first mover and really a big player,” Ryan Calo, a law professor at the University of Washington who studies autonomous transport law, told the New York Times.42. The sentence“California, of course , has led the way towards cleaner transport.”is the topic sentence of _. A. Paragraph 2 B. Paragraph 3 C. Paragraph 4 D. Paragraph 543.From the whole passage, what are the advantages of driverless cars in California? A.They are green and safe B. They are fast and big C. They are green and big D. They are fast and safe 44. The last paragraph is written mainly to _. A. introduce a new law signed by California B. California is a big state and really a big player C. California is the third state to authorize the law D. show the influence of Californias law on driverless cars 45. According to the passage, we can learn _. A. engineers in other countries arent working on driverless cars B. California and the EPA reached an agreement on fuel standards C. the developing of driverless cars in California will lead the world D. California is the first state that allows driverless cars to travel on roads四、词汇运用（共10小题；每小题1分，计10分）（每空一词）46. The more you work , the fewer mistakes you will make. (careful)47.

Coming from Danish culture, but popularized by the British in 2016, hygge is much more than just a word, its becoming a feeling around the world. The hygge refers to the sense of happiness you get when your family is gathered together at new year or Christmas. It is all about the pleasant feelings of home: the smell of your mothers cooking, your partners arm around your shoulder and so on. Hygge is an antidote(良药) to stress. You know when youve got it, a gentle warmth starts spreading through your body. Another important part of hygge is that it has nothing to do with modern technology. Its a period time to relax your tired mind and eyes. So, put down that smartphone and turn off the computer. You should also know that hygge is not about healthy eating or more exercise. In fact, its just the opposite. Youre supposed to be lost in what you like: enjoy sweet snacks and calorie-laden cakes freely. Let yourself be carried on a wave of nostalgia(怀旧) back to your birthplace, and remember the childhood songs of your distant youth with a smile. If it helps, wrap yourself in a warm blanket and sleep with one of your favorite books (not
